1412 Escort, no future
After his whereabouts were discovered by Fu Lin, Lan Jiuqing did not leave the city as planned, but instead went to the secret room of the Su Mansion.
"Jiuqing, why are you back? Didn't you go out of the city to find Feng Qingchen?" Su Wenqing thought he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"I met Fu Lin, and he was checking my identity." Lan Jiuqing closed his eyes to hide the fatigue in them.
Su Wenqing frowned and asked nervously, "What did Fu Lin find out?"
"No, just a suspicion." In order to dispel Fu Lin's suspicion, he could not leave the city under any circumstances.
"For safety reasons, you'd better not leave the city. As for Bao'er's matter, you write a letter to Feng Qingchen, and I'll have someone deliver the letter to Feng Qingchen. When Feng Qingchen sees your letter, he will do his best to treat Bao'er." Su Wenqing thought he knew Feng Qingchen quite well, and that Feng Qingchen would definitely do what he promised to do.
"No, I must meet Feng Qingchen. There are some things I must tell her in person." There are some things Feng Qingchen will not tell the Ninth Uncle, but she will tell him.
In Feng Qingchen's eyes, he was a good person to confide in, because he hid in the dark and would not expose her affairs.
"But if you leave Beijing now, with Fu Lin's intelligence, he will definitely be able to guess something." Now is not the time to take risks. Although Fu Lin is trustworthy, there is no guarantee that he will not rebel for greater benefits.
Fu Lin's loyalty is based on the strength of the Ninth Uncle. If Fu Lin finds out now that the Ninth Uncle is Lan Jiuqing, he might sell out the Ninth Uncle.
The Emperor Star is just a sign. If a person with the Emperor Star dies, the Emperor Star will dim, or another person with the Emperor Star will appear.
"If the secret way doesn't work, then let's go the open way." Lan Jiuqing sneered, a faint light flashing in his eyes.
The next day, the Ninth Prince asked for an imperial decree to escort Zi Luo to Jiangbei to prevent the incident involving Prince Chun from happening again.
The emperor originally disagreed, but when the Ninth Prince mentioned Prince Chun, the emperor hesitated. Although he now hated Dongling Ziluo very much, he still didn't want him to die tragically, after all, he was his son.
Seeing this, the discerning officials slowly spoke up for the Ninth Uncle, focusing on how loyal and righteous the Ninth Uncle was, and how benevolent and righteous the Emperor was. The Emperor was quite moved by their words. In addition, Jiangbei was a cold and bitter place, so even if the Ninth Uncle went there, he wouldn't be able to do anything, so it was fine for him to go.
The emperor did not agree on the spot, but summoned his confidants to ask after retiring from court. None of them could figure out the deeper meaning of the Ninth Prince's going to Jiangbei. So he thought that the Ninth Prince wanted to avoid the turmoil of establishing a crown prince, so he agreed after weighing the pros and cons.
The Ninth Prince sent Prince Luo to Jiangbei, and the round trip would take at least one and a half months. During this period, many things could be concluded. Many people believed that it was a great loss for the Ninth Prince to leave at this time.
You know, because of the affairs of Prince Luo and Prince Zhou, many vacancies were left in the court. This was the critical moment to send people in, but the Ninth Prince gave up.
The Ninth Prince did not care what outsiders thought. He just ordered his men to speed up preparations for departure, and three days later he left the capital with Dongling Ziluo.
Although he was escorted, Dongling Ziluo was a prince after all, and it was impossible for him to be dressed in prison clothes and put in shackles. He just had more people guarding him, and these people were all sent by the emperor.
The Ninth Prince conscientiously fulfilled his escort duties and did not meet Dong Ling Zi Luo alone along the way. He just sat in the carriage every day and had almost no contact with outsiders except for his own personal soldiers.
The guards sent by the emperor were quite afraid of the Ninth Uncle at first, but when they saw that the Ninth Uncle didn't care about anything, they felt relieved. However, they felt relieved too soon.
Halfway through their journey, when they passed a hill, they encountered robbers.
They were robbers, not bandits. It was clear that this group of people came for Dongling Ziluo. After just one encounter, the Emperor sent
The guards who came knew that these people were the confidants of King Luo.
"Protect the prince, protect the seventh prince, don't let these people get close to the seventh prince." The emperor's guards drew their swords and fought with the robbers. The ninth prince's personal soldiers would certainly not stand still, but this group of robbers were very powerful and soon broke through the defense line and rushed to Dong Ling Ziluo's carriage.
"Your Highness, you have suffered, we are here to save you." As if afraid that no one would know, the robbers shouted loudly, smashed the carriage door, and pulled Dong Ling Ziluo out.
Although Dong Ling Ziluo did not refuse, there was a flash of helplessness and confusion in his eyes. He let the robbers take him away, behaving like a puppet the whole time.
"Quick, quick, stop them, don't let the Seventh Prince run away." The people sent by the emperor were terrified and chased after them, but the robbers were highly skilled in martial arts, and even with Dong Ling Ziluo, they quickly broke through the encirclement.
"Your Highness." A guard beside the Ninth Prince's carriage called out softly. The next second, the Ninth Prince got out of the carriage, jumped onto his mount, and said, "Chase him. Don't let the Seventh Prince run away."
In one sentence, it was confirmed that Dong Ling Zi Luo had escaped, and the Ninth Prince himself went after the robber.
"Quick, chase him!" The guards sent by the emperor finally reacted. They jumped on their horses and rode forward, but when they caught up, there was no trace of him.
"What's going on? Go down and take a look."
"The other party has prepared horses here, and they also rode on horses. The Ninth Prince's horse seal is also there, and he is heading to the left."
"Follow..."
A group of people followed the horse tracks to the left, and when they had all left, those who had been hiding in the mountains came down one by one, led by the Ninth Prince.
"Send the man away." The Ninth Prince pointed at Dongling Ziluo and said to the robbers behind him.
"Thank you, Uncle Jiu, for your help." Dong Ling Ziluo closed his eyes, looking like he was waiting to die.
"When did I ever say I wanted your life?" The Ninth Prince snorted disdainfully, earning Dong Ling Zi Luo a look of doubt: "Ninth Prince, you..."
"The Seventh Prince of Dongling will die soon, and you are just an ordinary person now." The Ninth Prince said half in a warning and half in an explanation.
"You want to let me go? No need, you'd better kill me. There's no meaning for me to live." There was no light in Dong Ling Zi Luo's eyes. He was still a young man full of vigor and vitality, but one could see the deadness of old age in him.
"You're useless." The Ninth Prince glanced at Dong Ling Zi Luo with disdain and gestured to the person behind him. The man stepped forward and chopped Dong Ling Zi Luo down with a palm before Dong Ling Zi Luo could react. Dong Ling Zi Luo's body softened and he fell to the ground.
"Send the man away. I don't want to see him." After giving the instructions, the Ninth Prince changed to another horse and walked in the opposite direction of the group.
As for Prince Luo, he was sent to Xuanyi Valley by this group of people. As for what he would face in Xuanyi Valley, that was not something the Ninth Prince could guarantee. After all, no one could save someone who wanted to die.
The Ninth Prince headed south but could not find any trace of Feng Qingchen. In desperation, he could only ride as fast as he could, traveling day and night, and finally arrived in Jiangnan before Feng Qingchen.
And Feng Qingchen, whom the Ninth Prince has been looking for, is currently subduing Feng Liyou's troops and taking control of these eight thousand elite soldiers!
