Chapter 42 Night Exploration
Jiang Lianzhi closed the study door, leaned against it and took a deep breath.
She had just died, and these people were already persuading him to take a concubine or marry a wife, just like in his previous life.
Taking a concubine? How could he?
A Yu will definitely be angry, Jiang Lianzhi thought. In his previous life, it was because he wanted to take a concubine that she, who never objected, said no to him for the first time.
Unfortunately, he did not agree to her at that time. Instead, he told her not to be unreasonable. He did not expect that what happened in the study would be their final farewell.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lianzhi felt a pain in his heart.
How could she die? How could she just die like this?
She clearly did not go to the border in her previous life, so what went wrong?
He lived again just to make up for the regrets of his previous life. He would definitely treat her better and never take a concubine again. He only wanted her in this life.
But how could she, how dare she abandon herself like this?
Jiang Lianzhi breathed rapidly and walked slowly to the table.
With a clang, he threw the things on the table to the ground.
The servant outside the door shuddered a few times, and then there were several loud noises in the room.
The house was smashed into a mess.
Jiang Lianzhi stood in the ruins, gasping for breath.
She couldn't be dead! He didn't believe she died like this!
"Gao Jin!" Jiang Lianzhi opened the door and shouted.
As soon as Gao Jin entered the courtyard, he heard Jiang Lianzhi calling him and ran over quickly, "My lord has given you an order."
Jiang Lianzhi whispered: "Go check..."
Gao Jin nodded as he listened, took note, and went to work that night.
…
The further south they went, the less snow there was. After another day of hard work, the escort team finally arrived at Yi'an in front of the city gate.
Yi'an is a big city located in the center of Lingzhou and connected to Dingzhou. You can go directly to Shengjing by passing through Dingzhou.
Chen Yu had been here before and had seen the prosperity of the soft red ten-foot-long place.
It was already three quarters past midnight when they entered the city. There was still a constant stream of people walking on the streets, and pleasure boats were lined up on the river. There were laughter, music and singing, and the city was very lively.
Chen Yu lifted the curtain and looked around, then turned around and asked, "How does this place compare to your Beilin?"
Xie Tingzhou glanced at it casually and said, "It's a little inferior."
Chen Yu asked: "Where is the inferiority?"
Xie Tingzhou stroked his sleeves, looked at the woman on the pleasure boat waving her silk silk to attract customers, and said lightly: "Not as beautiful as Beilin."
Dog man!
Chen Yu made a "tsk" sound and threw the curtain out.
Xie Tingzhou smiled.
carriage
Stopped in front of an inn.
When the waiter saw such a large group of people, he knew that business was coming and hurried forward to greet them.
Shen Yu got out of the car first, looked up at the sign, turned around and stretched out her hand.
Just as Xie Tingzhou was about to get off the car, he lowered his eyes and saw an arm lying in front of him.
The shaft of the carriage is only two feet high. Does he really think he is weak and cannot take care of himself?
Shen Yu waited for a long while before she saw Xie Tingzhou slowly put his hand on her arm and got off the carriage.
The money she had was more than enough to book the best inn in the city, but wealth should not be shown to the public. No one could guarantee that the people from the escort agency would not harbor evil intentions in the presence of the money.
It will take five days at the fastest and ten days at the slowest to get to Beijing, so it is better to be safe.
The people from the escort agency only arranged one room for the two of them, but the two were used to living together on the road, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Chen Yu had been curled up in the carriage for many days, until her bones ached all over. She climbed onto the bed with ease, lay down on her side and fell asleep.
Xie Tingzhou blew out the light, sat in the dark, and contrary to his usual practice, did not go to bed.
The bangzi sounded four times, first slow and third fast, and suddenly a few short bird calls were heard in the wind.
Xie Tingzhou walked to the bed. The person on the bed was sleeping soundly and had rolled from the inside of the bed to the center.
He was too familiar with it. Within an hour, this man could occupy the entire bed.
The window opened and closed, and a dark figure disappeared from the window in the blink of an eye.
A huge goshawk flew across the sky, heading towards a residential area.
His robe fluttered as he leaped, and Xie Tingzhou tiptoed and landed silently in a courtyard.
The snow-white goshawk swooped down from the sky, folded its wings and landed on the eaves. It was the most precious jade claw of the Saker Falcon, the god of all eagles.
"Your Highness." Xi Feng bowed his head, "I am late."
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, "What's the situation?"
Xi Feng said seriously, "Your Highness was right. There were hundreds of assassins among the bandits that day. We captured a few of them alive, but they hid poison in their teeth, so we didn't leave any alive. Please punish them, Your Highness."
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand slightly, and the Saker Falcon fluttered its wings and landed on his arm. "Hundreds of dead soldiers, they are really willing to spend blood and sweat. It seems that they have been forced into a desperate situation and want to fight to the death."
"That's right," Xi Feng said solemnly, "The falling rock crushed the stand-in in the prisoner's car to pieces. They thought Liang Jianfang was dead, but they were not sure whether Your Highness had obtained Liang Jianfang's confession. So since Your Highness disappeared, several groups of people have been searching for His Highness' whereabouts."
"Finally we fished the man out.
"Xie Tingzhou touched the Saker Falcon and said gently, "It's worth it for me to set up the trap and put myself in it to play with them."
The play was originally planned, but Shi Yu showed up unexpectedly and turned it into a real play.
Xi Feng said: "Now that the person has been fished out, I will escort His Highness back to the capital."
Xie Tingzhou suddenly fell silent. He turned his head and looked in one direction for a few breaths, then said, "No hurry."
Xi Feng did not dare to ask the reason. His Highness had his own arrangements. He only said, "Shi Yu has been escorting His Highness all the way. Is he doing his best?"
"He," Xie Tingzhou chuckled, "he is very brave."
Shi Yu was assigned to Xi Feng by Xie Tingzhou. Xie Tingzhou's guards were led by Xi Feng. Since his subordinates failed to protect their master, Xi Feng should be punished together with them.
Xi Feng lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "It's because my subordinates failed to discipline them well."
"You can't control him."
Xifeng didn't understand the meaning of these words, as Xie Tingzhou had already changed the subject.
"How is the capital now?"
"Everything is fine," Xifeng reported one by one, "Liang Jianfang has been secretly imprisoned in the dungeon of the palace, and no one has noticed. Changliu and Cang have also been settled in the palace in Shengjing."
Xie Tingzhou nodded slightly and explained some things to Xifeng.
After everything was done, he patted the Saker Falcon on the head twice and whispered, "Don't follow too closely."
Then he raised his arm, and the Saker Falcon flapped its wings and flew out.
Xie Tingzhou returned the same way he came. Just as he closed the window and turned around, he saw a figure sitting on the bed.
Chen Yu just woke up, rubbing her eyes and asked confusedly: "Where did you go in the middle of the night? Why didn't you take me with you?"
She had just woken up, and her voice was a little hoarse and somewhat defenseless.
Xie Tingzhou suddenly had an illusion, as if he was a husband who went out to cheat in the middle of the night and was caught red-handed by his wife when he came back.
Xie Tingzhou said nothing, walked straight to the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, then asked: "Why did I bring you here?"
"I'm protecting you," Chen Yu sobered up a little, stared at him for a long while, and suddenly said, "Oh, I understand."
After saying that, he fell down and continued to sleep.
Xie Tingzhou put down his teacup, tilted his head and asked, "What do you understand?"
Chen Yu leaned a little further into the bed, closed her eyes and said, "I know what's going on but I won't tell you. I have to save your face."
Xie Tingzhou smiled, sat on the bed and leaned over to look at him, "No need to save face for me, just tell me, what do you understand?"
Chen Yu opened her eyes, "Do you really want me to tell you?"
"Speak!" Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at him, with an intimidating look without even getting angry.
