Chapter Twenty-Nine—The Murder Looms
The griffons flew extremely fast, covering thousands of kilometers in just two days.
Qin Shou also took the opportunity to visit the mountains and rivers of the Great Qin Dynasty, and during this period, Linghui also tried his best to solve a lot of doubts for Qin Shou.
About Kyoto, about the Qin family a hundred years ago, etc...
However, Linghui didn't say a word about anything about the empress, which made Qin Shou a little puzzled.
Under the unremitting flight of the griffin, the group arrived in Tongzhou in the evening of the next day.
Tongzhou's status is quite special, located in the very center of the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, so it has also become the transportation center of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Although it brings together the three sects and nine streams from the south and the north of the world, this place is also heavily guarded, and when the six griffons appeared above Tongzhou, it attracted the attention of countless people.
After all, in the Great Qin Dynasty, the common people knew that the griffin was a symbol of the royal family, which means that today Tongzhou is going to usher in a big man.
Linghui and the others manipulated the griffin to descend on the official post, Qin Shou was carried by Linghui and jumped down from the griffin's body and said to the post station officials who came: "Now disperse all the idlers in the post station until we leave." ”
"My lord, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate. ”
The officials of the post station smiled bitterly, and secretly complained in their hearts, what is going on today, even if the son of King Zhendong is here, there is also a group of big people who are suspected of being relatives of the royal family...
Although the Tongzhou Guanyi entertains many court officials and their families every day, they have never experienced so many big people coming at once like today.
Linghui seemed to be very dissatisfied with the other party's answer, but she didn't explain much and took out a golden token and said coldly, "What now?"
The golden token is branded with a lifelike griffon, and the back is a "Qin" character.
When he saw this golden token, the official of the post station knelt down directly at the moment, and did not dare to raise his head, and said, "Obey the holy will." ”
Although the officials of the post station did not have a high position, they knew very well the meaning of this golden token, and this gold medal was a token of the Empress of Great Qin.
Those who see the gold medal are like seeing the king, and disobeying this token is tantamount to acting against the will.
He was just a small post officer, and he didn't dare to do it if he was given ten dares,
"As soon as possible. ”
The other party cautiously stepped back and began to arrange for some other people in the official post to leave, although there are many people living in the official post who cannot afford to offend a small post station official, but no one can offend His Majesty!
"Sister Linghui, isn't that the case?"
Qin Shou also smiled dumbly, this is already the middle of the Great Qin Dynasty, and there must be no other accidents.
"When you go out, you have to be careful about everything. ”
Linghui also stroked Qin Shou's head and smiled: "Don't think that there will be no danger if this place is far from the border, I will act as ordered to bring you back to Kyoto safely, if something goes wrong, you will lose your head." ”
Qin Shou: ......
Okay, since you've said that, what else can you say?
While they were waiting, there was some relatively loud movement in the official post, as if someone was dissatisfied and asked to leave.
"Do you know who I am, and if you dare to let me leave, are you impatient?"
"My father is the king of Zhendong!! do you dog minions want to die, and even my son dares to go out?"
"Let go of me, I want to see who is in Kyoto who dares to let the king of Zhendong get out of here with such a big breath!"
After a few breaths, a brocade-clothed boy walked towards this side angrily with a sword, and the rest of the Praetorian Guards also subconsciously put their hands on the hilt of the knife at their waists, as if they only needed a gesture from Linghui, they didn't care what the king was or not.
The Praetorian Guard represents the empress, and no one in the Great Qin Dynasty can be above the empress.
The other party came to Qin Shou and the others, looked up and down, and did not follow Linghui and the others.
In his eyes, they were all dressed as ordinary warriors, and at the moment he thought that they were ordinary officials sent by the imperial court to perform official duties, he also said disdainfully: "You are so powerful and prestigious, even the son of my Zhendong King has to be driven out?"
"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me if you have any offense, but we also hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will cooperate with us on official business. ”
Linghui did not attack but was neither humble nor arrogant, and the king of Zhendong had a high status in the court.
You can't tear your face as soon as you look at it, and when the matter reaches the ears of the empress, you can't take advantage of it because of the face of the royal family.
"Do you know who I am?" the other party pointed at himself and sneered,
"Of course, His Royal Highness Zhang Yuheng, the son of Zhang Xinghe, the king of Zhendong. ”
Linghui's expression remains unchanged,
"Do you still know that I am His Royal Highness the Prince?" Zhang Yuheng laughed angrily: "Do you want me to go out if you know?"
"Your Royal Highness, we are ordered to carry out official duties, please cooperate. ”
Linghui was still neither humble nor arrogant: "His Royal Highness, please." ”
Zhang Yuheng was suddenly furious, he didn't know his identity, even if he knew that he was the son of the king of Zhendong, he still let him leave?
This is clearly not in his eyes, His Royal Highness!
Qin Shou, who had not spoken beside him, glanced at Linghui curiously, muttering in his heart that Linghui was digging a pit for His Royal Highness the Prince...
In fact, at the beginning, Linghui directly took out the gold medal that represented his identity, and His Royal Highness, who was a little stupid and cute, would most likely admit it.
After all, no matter what kind of king your father is or not, no matter how awesome he is, can he still take the empress in his eyes?
But Linghui didn't do this, and it can probably be inferred that a conclusion can be drawn.
This king of Zhendong doesn't quite deal with the empress...
Reminiscent of what Chen Long told him before, there are factions in the court, and among them, there are factions that are extremely opposed to the succession of the empress, could it be that the king of Zhendong belongs to this faction?
While Qin Shou was thinking about the problem, His Royal Highness the Prince also intensified and even whistled, and more than a dozen guards rushed in to surround them.
"What if I don't leave today?"
Zhang Yuheng said with a sneering look on his face: "Is it possible that you can still kill me?"
"Why should His Royal Highness be so aggressive? ”
Linghui also pretended to sigh and said, "If King Zhendong is here, he will definitely not allow His Royal Highness the Prince to come here like this." ”
"What kind of dog are you to call my father by his name......"
Zhang Yuheng was furious, but the next moment Linghui had an extra gold medal in his hand.
"The Praetorian Guards acted, and irrelevant people and others avoided it. ”
Linghui looked at Zhang Yuheng and said calmly: "First cut and then play, the imperial power is licensed, His Royal Highness the Prince will not know, right?"
At that moment, Zhang Yuheng's whole person was stunned, staring at the gold medal in Linghui's hand, and the unfinished words in his mouth were stubbornly suffocated!
Damn, this group of people is actually the Praetorian Guard in the palace!
And that means that they are doing things for the empress, and their behavior is undoubtedly disrespectful in the eyes of others!
With everything he has done now, the other party will not be guilty of killing him.
The first cut and then the imperial concession, this is the role of the royal gold medal.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Qin Shou tried very hard to hold back his laughter, and finally couldn't help laughing...
His Royal Highness is really stupid and pitiful, and he doesn't want to think about which official dares to purge the official post without something?
I really forgot that the Empress is the master of the Great Qin Dynasty now,
Don't say that you are a son of the world, even if your father, King Zhendong, comes, you don't dare to disobey the emperor's order, at least you don't dare to do it on the surface.
"Ahem, Qin Shou, don't lose your etiquette. ”
Linghui coughed lightly, probably knowing that the smart Qin Shou had seen through his intentions.
Qin Shou shrugged his shoulders and could only continue to hold back a smile, and at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince could only kneel in front of the gold medal, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
However, at this moment, Qin Shouxin raised his head in response, and his gaze swept over the group of servants behind His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Is it a delusion?"
Qin Shou's face did not change, but there were doubts in his heart, just now he noticed a wisp of aura locking on him, but when he realized it, the other party disappeared without a trace in an instant...
In the end, Linghui did not continue to embarrass His Royal Highness the prince, after all, if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face, no matter what the other party says, he is also the son of the king of Zhendong...
She didn't think she would really cut it first, but just teased him a little to let His Royal Highness the Prince leave.
"Sister Linghui, you're not very kind. ”
Qin Shou looked at the back of Zhang Yuheng, who was leaving in gray, and said with a smile,
"He did a lot of unconscionable things in Kyoto in the name of the prince, but his father was the king of Zhendong. ”
Linghui shook her head and said, "I'm just punishing you today." ”
Qin Shou smiled and didn't say anything, he didn't break Linghui's lie, this was just Linghui's words,
In the final analysis, it is probably because there are many contradictions between King Zhendong and the empress, so she wants to take the opportunity to vent her anger.
Women, one by one they are very bad.
"Sister Linghui, is there anyone else in Kyoto who knows that I am going to Kyoto?" Qin Shou immediately asked seriously,
"Anyone who wants to know knows. Linghui replied vaguely,
"Well, it seems that some people don't want me to go to Kyoto. Qin Shou shook his head, and immediately said what he was aware of.
"The strongest group of people just now is no more than a second-grade martial artist, and if any of them probe your breath, they will definitely not be able to hide it from us. Linghui pondered for a moment, feeling very confused.
"Maybe I'm overthinking. ”
"You can rest first, and I'll check this matter. Linghui was not careless, at the moment, escorting Qin Shou to Kyoto smoothly was the most important thing for them!
Nothing was more important than Qin Shou's safety, and even the slightest suspicion had to be probed again.
