Chapter 268: Jin Yiwei's shock
"Da Da Da!!"
A violent sound of horses' hooves took the road from Huguang to the south, and on the official road, set off bursts of yellow sand.
This is exactly the Jinyiwei that departed from Yingtian City, and the destination of this trip was in Hepu.
However, their route was different from that of Li Jin and Zhu Biao, and this group of Jinyi guards first took a boat to Changsha, and then went directly south from Changsha.
In this way, it only took half a month to arrive in Hepu, which can be said to have used the time to the extreme.
This is the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's personal order, in the face of Li Jin, the dog prefect who privately raised the price of grain, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it for a moment, he couldn't wait to arrest Li Jin from Hepu immediately.
In fact, the main reason is because Zhu Biao is by Li Jin's side, and Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that Zhu Biao will be polluted by Li Jin's mind and become infected with some vices.
This is a bitter Jinyi guard, so he can only keep going day and night, frantically hurrying, for fear of missing half an hour.
"My lord, are we really going to arrest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back?"
A small flag was on the road, and he couldn't help but ask about his hundred households.
After all, it is the emperor's heart, and it is really difficult for some strong people to let themselves and others arrest His Royal Highness the Prince.
Jinyi Wei Baihu galloped wildly, and said angrily:
"Who told you to arrest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Let's go arrest that big corrupt official, Li Jin, Li Zhifu!! ”
"Arrest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? You've lived enough, I haven't lived enough!! ”
"When the time comes, be smart, don't bump into His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise I won't be able to save you."
Hearing Baihu's words, the few people behind him who were racing wildly suddenly shook their spirits.
It's just that the little flag who asked just now couldn't help but ask again, and said:
"Then what should we do if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince protects Li Jin?"
"You can't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back, can you?"
"What to do?"
Baihu's face was ugly, and he said in a resolute tone:
"Then I can only reason with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not want Li Jin to know his identity, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to stay by Li Jin's side."
"We can treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with affection and reason, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not embarrass us."
The corners of Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, he didn't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so easy to speak.
After all, compared to Li Jin, what are these brocade guards? Not even a single hair.
Xiaoqi felt that this time the operation would definitely not be as easy as the Lord of the Hundred Households said, and even if he was not careful, he would capsize in the gutter and be directly executed by the emperor, so he still had to be careful.
Several people traveled day and night, from Changsha to Hepu County, a total of less than five days.
Fortunately, the post station is quite powerful along the way, and after hearing their identity, whether it is changing horses or preparing places to eat and sleep, they are all very complete.
Seeing that the Hepu territory was in front of him, Jinyi Wei Baihu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he entered Hepu County and arrested Li Jin, this operation would be considered a successful end.
"Brothers, it's just the last step, give me more strength!"
Jinyi Wei Baihu shouted to the rear, trying to boost morale, and marched towards Hepu County.
However, just entered Hepu County, what happened here made this line of Jinyi guards all shut their mouths in shock, and they all looked ahead in disbelief.
Along the way, coming from Yingtian, these Jinyi guards can be regarded as having some understanding of the cities in the south.
Especially in the southwest region, because the Ming army has just recovered these places over the years, the cities in the southwest region are relatively turbulent.
The people here are relatively poor, and the city walls and roads are also extremely dilapidated, after all, in a turbulent place, how can the people rest assured that they can come down to production and development.
As the most southwestern region of the Ming Dynasty, Hepu should be even worse than other places, not to mention poorer than those places, but at least disaster victims or displaced people should be seen everywhere.
But the scene in front of them directly refreshed the three views of the Jinyi Wei people, making them feel that they had come to the wrong place.
