With the acquiescence of the official family, the two went out of Beijing in a low-key manner.

Hurry up all the way, try your best to catch up with Ying Xi's footsteps.

From Kaifeng Mansion to Guiyang County, there are about 1,200 kilometers, and this is still the case of all official roads.

And that Yingxi, after leaving Kyoto, disappeared.

I don't know which way he took to Gyeyang-gun.

"No matter which way we go, the official road will definitely be the fastest, we just need to reach Guiyang County before him."

"We've been running almost halfway through the day."

Both of them rode fast horses, changed horses twice in the middle, did not rest for a day and a night, set off on the first day, and arrived at Hanchuan on the second day.

"Ziyuan, we've gone fast enough, let's rest for two hours and then hurry!"

They went to Guiyang County to prevent Ying Xi from assassinating Fu Bi, but before anyone arrived, the two of them died of exhaustion.

Even if you don't die of exhaustion, it's enough to be tired and half dead.

Ying Xi has not appeared, and the ghost knows if he went to find a helper.

In case he finds a helper of the same level as him, how can the two of them fight with others with their tired bodies.

So, it is necessary to rest.

The two had a simple meal at an inn, rested from Chenshi to noon, had lunch, prepared a few pancakes for the store to fill with water bladders, and re-launched.

When it was dark, when I arrived at the boundary of Chenzhou (now Hunan), I ran for more than an hour and settled in a small town in Jianning.

Here they did not stay at the guest house, but came to a small courtyard.

"This is a hidden stake in our national mansion."

Gu Qingjue nodded, without saying much and asking more, the development of a family is deep-rooted, and in every important place, there will be its own secret stake to pass on the news.

When it was dark, they simply ate pancakes to satisfy their hunger.

After a brief wash in the courtyard, a hot meal had already been served, and just as it was time to eat, a man of about forty rushed over.

After saluting Zhao Jin, he handed him the note in his hand.

Zhao Jin unfolded it, took a quick look, and then handed the note to Gu Qingjue: "Ziyuan, look! ”

"Rich is missing?"

"The rich man set off on the morning, and just half a day ago, he lost his trace."

Zhao Jin twisted his eyebrows and said: "It doesn't make sense, Ying Xi didn't take the official road, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than us, and it's impossible to arrive ahead of us." ”

"There are two possibilities, one is that Ying Xi found a helper, and the other is that Lord Fu knew that someone didn't want him to return to Beijing, so he took the initiative to disappear!"

Fu Bi was able to sit in the position of a second-class member of the imperial court at the age of thirty-nine, what did he rely on?

is not only the style of a literati, but also the flexible brain, in short, not a sour literati.

He was born to be an official.

Knowing the deception in the court, on the premise of being able to serve the country and the people, he can also protect himself well.

"If we can't find the rich man, does it mean that Ying Xi can't find it either?"

Gu Qingjue said with a smile: "Our next step is not to bother to find Lord Fu, but to find Ying Xi, we follow him, he doesn't make a move, I believe that the guards around Lord Fu can escort him back to Beijing safely." ”

Zhao Jin's brows still didn't stretch.

"If you can't get evidence of Ying Xi's action, in the end, it's just a dead Kong Yue."

Gu Qingjue looked at Zhao Jin in a little surprise, and between the calcium carbide sparks, he had already analyzed Zhao Jin's words.

"Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Kong Chong?"

Zhao Jin: "Kong Chong framed the Zeng family, but he has been safe and sound for so many years, it's time for him to atone for his sins!" ”

"Not yet."

Gu Qingjue's words surprised Zhao Jin very much.

"Zeng Shengji is your master, his whole family was killed by Kong Chong, and he hasn't been able to remember the past until now, you, as his apprentice, still have to object? Kong Chong, doesn't he deserve to die? ”

"It's not a pity that he died, but not now!"

Gu Qingjue was more stable than his age, and analyzed them one by one with Zhao Jin.

"The western border is still in a state of stalemate, and now the change of the privy envoy has no intention of making Li Yuanhao's troops more arrogant and shaking the hearts of our Korean army."

"Another one, even if he can catch Ying Xi's handle to kill the rich man this time, it may not necessarily be able to bring down Kong Chong, he can be said to not know Ying Xi at that time, or Ying Xi's personal behavior, which has nothing to do with him. Brother Xi is immersed in the court, and he should know better than me what means these people are used to to protect themselves. ”

"In the end, if the master wants to avenge the Zeng family, he wants to make Kong Chong confess his guilt, not to pull him off the horse in this way."

Zhao Jin sighed.

What Gu Qingjue said, of course he knew.

"According to the information I have, Kong Chong has private dealings with the Liao Dynasty. Brother Xi can use this to let the Liao Dynasty contain the Western Xia and win a respite for our dynasty. ”

Zhao Jin looked at Gu Qingjue in surprise.

"This news is the same source as the news that Yingxi was going to Guiyang County to intercept and kill the rich man?"

can know such private information, thinking that the person should be someone next to Kong Chong.

More Zhao Jin didn't ask.

Since the rich adults have already hidden, there is no need for them to continue to hurry, it is important to find Yingxi first.

Two days later, news came that Ying Xi's figure was found in Chongyi.

In the past two days, the two have arrived in Guiyang Prison.

If Ying Xi didn't know about the disappearance of Master Fu, then he should have almost arrived in Guiyang County at this time.

Where did I think that Ying Xi went to Chongyi.

"Is it possible for the rich man to take Jiangnan West Road back to Beijing?"

Otherwise, how could Ying Xi run to Chongyi.

"If I were a rich man, I would only choose one path!"

Zhao Jin asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Take the official road from Gyeyo-gun to Kyoto, and you will be able to arrive in three days. You can take other ways to get back to Kyoto, no matter how fast it is, it will take five days, and if you don't take the official road, maybe it will take a long time. The more time passes, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

"We can think of this, Ying Xi must also think of it......"

Zhao Jin said halfway through and understood: "This is called the prediction of the enemy, knowing that taking the official road is too conspicuous, if the rich man wants to be safe, he must hide, and in addition to this road, it is easier to take the road of Chongyi." That's why Ying Xi will go to Chongyi. ”

Gu Qingjue nodded: "If Ying Xi is not stupid, it is estimated that he will react quickly and catch up again." ”

However, after buying most of the day, they could walk in front of Ying Xi, intercept him, and help Lord Fu get to Beijing safely.

The two took advantage of the time to walk around Guiyang County, in order to find out what was going on, the two deliberately made a disguise, those poor people, the heart of the court is very resentful, thinking that the court just doesn't care about their life or death, otherwise they would not send such an official, the rebel army did not kill a few, specifically killed them these poor people who could not afford to eat.

In this case, whoever changes this will choose to join the rebel army.

Chapter 2 has been updated, and it's done!
