Outside Fengzhou City, Li Yi stood at the foot of the city wall and looked up.
On the towering city wall, the two words "Fengzhou" were particularly majestic and majestic. At first glance, one could tell that it was written by a famous master.
He looked at the city gate again. After leaving this time, it was uncertain whether he would come back here again.
He felt a little guilty about Lin Wanru. She had always taken good care of him and Miss.Liu, but in return, she had lied to him. Although the lies were kind, Li Yi still could not face her calmly before leaving.
After a while, he collected all his thoughts, turned to look into the distance, waved his hand, and said softly.
"Let's go …"
Half an hour later.
"Go after them!"
Inside Fengzhou City, a group of fast horses galloped out. The young man in the front was full of excitement and said loudly, "His Highness has ordered that whoever catches them will be heavily rewarded!"
On the official road, pedestrians and peddlers gave way. The horses galloped, stirring up smoke and dust.
In Fanglin Garden, Lin Wanru slowly closed the booklet in her hands.
The description on it was extremely detailed and detailed the path that Fragrant Forest Garden would take in the future. Even though she still could not understand some of the methods and methods, she did not doubt it at all after her previous experience.
According to this plan, in the end, she did not need to do most of the things in the shop by herself. She only needed to make some important decisions occasionally. At that time, it seemed that she would have a deeper control over the Lin family's business than it was now.
If she had obtained such a thing two months ago, she would have regarded it as a treasure and would have attached great importance to it. But now, she was not interested in it at all.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was still red dates and wolfberry tea, but it did not have the same taste as yesterday.
The sun was about to set in the west. After leaving Fanglin Garden, the light in the small room gradually dimmed.
Lin Wanru looked at the teacup without any expression on her pretty face. She just sat there quietly.
After an unknown period of time, this trace of silence was finally broken.
Lin Yong walked in from outside, gently knocked on the door, and said, "Miss, the steward of the Qian family is here …"
"Got it. Let him wait outside for a while."
Lin Wanru nodded and slowly stood up. There was no fluctuation in her tone as she spoke.
Lin Yong's eyes were a little dazed. He only felt that there seemed to be something different about the Miss at this moment.
…
Fang jumped down from a carriage and said, "Son-in-law, there's no hurry to go back. There's a town ahead. Let's rest here for a while. We'll be able to make it back before it gets dark."
A team of more than a hundred people naturally couldn't carry all kinds of weapons on their waists and swagger through the streets like this. At least, they couldn't do that in the Qi Kingdom. The goods on the carts were real goods. This time, they had traded glass for a lot of good things from the Qi Kingdom. When they went back, they could take them with them.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Then let's rest for a while."
Fang and the others had traveled almost day and night from the capital city for a month. After arriving in Fengzhou, they didn't have a good rest, so they didn't have to rush back.
There seemed to be some grievances between the sloppy old man and the Taoist surnamed Yuan. Usually, they didn't bother to talk to each other. At this time, they were on their own side. Fang saw him take out a milk candy from his bosom and throw it into his mouth. He smacked his lips and said, "Hey, Chief Xu, give me one."
The sloppy old man glanced at him and said, "Not many."
"Don't be so stingy."
"Just this once. Don't do it again." A candy flew over from a distance. Fang peeled it and threw it into his mouth. He said, "I thought we were going to do something big with so many people. I didn't expect to come back so easily …"
"Want to do something big?" Li Yi looked back and said, "Here's your chance."
Old Fang turned his head to look behind him, and his expression froze.
At the same time, many people around him stood up and looked in a certain direction.
They saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them. Occasionally, the neighing of horses could be heard.
A young man on the horse urged, "Hurry up. They won't be able to go far in the carriage. They should be right in front!"
Seeing that there seemed to be a caravan in front of them, the young man hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted, "The people in front, stop!"
He dismounted and swept his gaze across the crowd. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You can go …"
Before he could finish his sentence, his gaze suddenly stopped on the face of a woman in front of the crowd. After a moment of shock, he said with joy, "It's them!"
"Capture them all!"
He waved his hand. The hundred personal guards behind him immediately dismounted and surrounded the entire caravan.
Although the other side seemed to have a lot of people, these people were all the personal guards that Prince Heng had carefully selected. Even if they had to face bandits several times their number, they didn't have to be afraid or worried at all. The young man stood at the front and shouted, "Where is Li Xuan? Hurry up and come out!"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his leg. He could not help but kneel on the ground.
He raised his head and was about to scold them when he saw that the faces of the people inside were all wearing a smile that he could not understand.
What he did not understand was where these people had taken out their weapons in the time it took for them to lower their heads …
"Everyone, hurry up. Don't waste time." Fang clenched his fists and was the first to walk out.
To let the same number of experts from the Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking, as well as the High Priests of the Intelligence Office, deal with these so-called personal guards who at most had some skills, even if there were a few among them who could be considered to be capable, they would not be able to last long against these people.
Even the sloppy old man and the Taoist surnamed Yuan did not make a move. In just a short while, among the hundred people, not a single one was still standing.
The young man who was still kneeling on the ground was already pale. His body was still trembling and he said in a trembling voice, "I-I-WE are the personal guards of the eldest prince. If you dare to do anything to us, you will not be able to walk out of the Qi Kingdom!"
"The eldest prince's personal guards?"
Fang cracked his knuckles and said, "Young master, I have a bold idea …"
…
…
Zhao Yi walked out of the Fengzhou Courier Station and sighed slightly.
He had originally planned to leave for the capital today, but now he had to postpone his journey.
The young master of the Yang family had disappeared. One hundred personal guards of the eldest prince had been stripped naked and tied up in a forest outside Fengzhou City. They were only found in the early hours of this morning. One hundred people! Just thinking about that scene gave him a headache.
Although he had long expected that the people sent by the eldest prince would fail, he did not expect that it would be in such a way.
The eldest prince had long been disgraced. It was not a big deal for him to be disgraced again. However, he could not pretend that he did not see such a thing happening in Fengzhou.
Moreover, the missing young master of the Yang family could be considered as an imperial censor. Although it was only a temporary position, it would be difficult to explain it to the Yang family …
Zhao Zheng walked out with a dark face and said coldly, "Who did you let go? If you can't give me an explanation for this matter, you will have to explain it to my father when we return to the capital!"
As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking, an official rushed over and said loudly, "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from Bingzhou. Last night, several imperial censors and one hundred personal guards of Prince Heng entered Bingzhou and gathered the officials of Bingzhou. Under Prince Heng's order, the officials of Bingzhou were asked to confess their mistakes and use silver to atone for their crimes. At dawn, they left Bingzhou with six hundred thousand taels of silver …"
"A bunch of nonsense!"
Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this. In the next moment, his expression changed and he said coldly, "The imperial censors are all at the relay station. When did I give such an order?!"
Because of the matter of the silver, he was already at the heart of the struggle. There were countless opinions among the people and there were many voices of dissatisfaction with him in the imperial court. The words' silver for discussing guilt 'could not even be mentioned now. How could he do such a stupid thing?
"According to the official who just arrived from Bingzhou, those people had the token of Prince Heng's residence and had verified the identity of Imperial Censor Yang …"
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment. As if he had thought of something, he immediately asked, "Is that imperial censor called Yang Cong?"
The official replied, "Yes."
Zhao Zheng stood there in a daze. He felt his vision darken and the world around him was spinning.
Seeing Prince Heng collapse, the official immediately rushed forward and said in a panic, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"
