Chapter 30 - It's not my fault that I'm being too cautious
Zhang Yuheng, who was driven out, stood outside the official post with a gloomy face, obviously still haunting what had just happened.
When did the son of the king of the dignified town suffer from this kind of anger?
But thinking that the other party was not only from the Praetorian Guard in the palace, but also holding the imperial gold medal, he also knew very well that no matter how unhappy he was, he could only hold back.
"His Royal Highness, there is no need to be angry with this group of Praetorian Guards, it is better for us to go to Tongzhou Taishou Mansion for one night. One of the servants behind him also spoke,
"Hmph, that's because this son of the world doesn't want to see them in general!"
Zhang Yuheng turned around and snorted on the ground and scolded: "A group of dogs and powerful guys!"
"Your Royal Highness, don't be in a hurry, your subordinates will go to the Taishou Mansion to take care of it. The attendant who spoke just now was also courteous and authentic,
"Okay, let's go. β
Zhang Yuheng waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "You go and arrange it first, and this son will go to Baihualou for a while." β
The attendant nodded and rode straight in the direction of the Taishou Mansion, but in fact turned the street and headed straight in the opposite direction.
He stayed in front of an inn and walked in directly, and the shopkeeper saw him and didn't ask much to lead him to the guest room on the second floor.
After the fingers were clasped on the door frame, the door slowly opened after the rhythm of the triple and two light knocks.
Ten lines of sight in the room instantly stared at him,
"It has been confirmed that Qin Shou has arrived at the Tongzhou official post and will start in the early hours of tonight. β
"How to do it, you haven't come up with a plan so far, don't you want us to be cannon fodder for nothing?" someone in the room said in a deep voice,
"My master naturally has already made arrangements, and after you succeed, you can leave Tongzhou directly without any hindrance. β
.......
At this time, there were only Qin Shou and others left in the official post, and they were personally responsible for everything from their own diet to taking care of their mounts.
After all, they were still two days away from arriving in Kyoto, and they didn't want to see any accidents happen.
"Let's make do with it, and when you get to Kyoto, my sister will take you to eat something delicious. Linghui handed over some dry food that had been prepared for a long time and said apologetically,
"It doesn't matter. β
Qin Shou didn't think so, in fact, it was not a problem to not eat or drink for two or three days after becoming a martial artist.
"Why are you looking at the architectural drawings of the official station?" Ling Hui looked at Qin Shoucong with interest from the architectural drawings of the post station he wanted just now and studied it so far,
"I'm afraid something will happen tonight. Qin Shou said frankly,
It's not that he's too sensitive, it's that he knows very well that he definitely can't have a delusion, and there is an existence in the retinue of His Royal Highness the Prince that even a sixth-rank martial artist can't see, which in itself is worth pondering.
Qin Shou's guards didn't think about it, but he was quickly vetoed by himself.
Looking at the Great Qin Dynasty, who would dare to make a move against the son of the famous King of Zhendong?
In addition, there is another point, that even Yan Linghui, the personal guard of the current empress, is only at the level of a six-rank martial artist, how can He De, a prince of the world, let a six-rank martial artist be closely protected?
When I was a librarian in my last life, I read countless detective mystery novels and came to the conclusion that the truth is often hidden in those details that are easy to ignore and seem to be irrelevant.
"You're a little too cautious. Ling Hui smiled dumbly and said, "Even if the Qin family has some old enemies left in the past, they won't be stupid enough to attack you at this time." β
"The people of Kyoto won't, but what if it's not the people of Daqin?"
"You... Are you talking about the people of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Linghui frowned, then shook her head and said, "It's impossible, those people in Kyoto are all playing with you, so they won't be stupid enough to do such a thing as colluding with the enemy country." β
"To kill, you don't have to kill yourself. Qin Shou said calmly: "And there is a person who should not appear in the official post today..."
"His Royal Highness?"
When Linghui heard this, he became solemn and said, "Be cautious." β
King Zhendong is also a member of the royal family, although he also feels that the inheritance of the throne by a woman is the greatest disrespect of the ancestors of the past dynasties, but it is limited to this, with his identity and status, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.
"I didn't say that King Zhendong wanted to kill me. β
Qin Shou glanced at Linghui with a smile and said, "But don't you think that His Royal Highness the dignified prince is not staying in Kyoto, and suddenly appearing in Tongzhou is an intriguing thing in itself?"
Linghui was slightly stunned,
Originally, she didn't feel any suspicion, but when she heard Qin Shou say this, she seemed to feel a little wrong.
"I'm not worried that His Highness the Prince is going to kill me, but I'm worried that he will become the knife in the hands of some people. Qin Shou took a bite of dry food and continued: "That guy's IQ can even play with you, let alone others. β
"That's right..."
Linghui couldn't help but shake her head when she remembered what happened just now, but she was stunned with a smile, wait, how do you feel that Qin Shou even scolded herself for this sentence?
Feeling that Linghui's eyes were gradually becoming unkind, Qin Shou also changed the topic seriously: "So we can imagine that there are people in Kyoto who don't want me to come to Kyoto alive, and then the Great Xia Dynasty will not be wiped out because of the people sent out to rob and kill me last time, they can't bear this breath, right?"
Listening to Qin Shou's analysis, not only Linghui fell into thought, but even the eyes of the other Praetorian Guards looking at Qin Shou became strange,
Is this really the kind of thinking that a seven-year-old child can have?
It's hard for them to associate all these conjectures together...
But not to mention that after Qin Shou's analysis, they also seemed to feel that something was not right.
Because if you really want to make a move against Qin Shou, Tongzhou Guanyi is the best and last chance, once Qin Shou enters Kyoto, then it is impossible for anyone to use this means to intercept and kill Qin Shou.
After a long discussion and analysis, Linghui and the others were also completely persuaded by Qin Shou.
From the initial skeptical to now convinced that something must happen tonight, Linghui and the others even began to think of some ways to deal with it.
"So it's better to read more..."
While they were discussing, Qin Shou took a sip of tea and sighed in his heart, looking at these people who practiced martial arts, one by one was not very smart, and it was quite easy to fool.
"In that case, why don't we leave Tongzhou overnight?"
At this time, Linghui spoke, this is the safest way.
Qin Shou: ......
After discussing it with you for a long time, you came up with a way to escape? Are you Praetorian Guards!!
When you encounter trouble, you don't want to solve it, but you choose to escape?
"Have you ever thought that if you kill the spies who infiltrated Great Qin this time, it will actually be a great achievement. β
There was no choice but to continue to fool, after all, he felt that this kind of occasion was very likely to trigger the task and make himself earn a lot of talent.
