Chapter 591: plan

Chapter 591 Will plan to plan

After the body was carried away, the butler came in again. When he came, he had already read the contents of the letter paper.

"Can the prince go to the capital?"

Xiao Shijie narrowed his eyes, "The emperor is testing me, I must go, but whether I can get to the capital smoothly is not something I can control, you can arrange it now..."

The steward stepped forward and approached, and he nodded after listening, "Don't worry, my son, this subordinate will arrange it now."

After Xiao Shijie wrote back to King Jiang Ning, King Jiang Ning immediately entered the palace to explain the situation to Xiao Jin.

"Your Majesty, Shijie said that he will leave for the capital in a few days." This result was also unexpected by King Jiang Ning. He is willing to come, which should show that he has no ghosts in his heart.

There was a smile on Xiao Jin's face, "It's great that he came, I must have a good chat with him when he arrives."

"Yes, yes, it is also a blessing for this child to be cared by the emperor."

"It's almost noon, the emperor stays here to have lunch with me before going back?"

Jiang Ning Wang shook his head again and again, let him go! Facing Xiao Jin, he would be a ghost if he could eat it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I still have something to do, so I will take my leave first."

"Since the emperor's uncle has something to do, I won't force him to stay. I will send the emperor's uncle out of the palace."

"The minister resigns."

As soon as King Jiang Ning left, the smile on Xiao Jin's face sank, "Send a letter to Zhu Lin, asking him to mobilize two thousand soldiers and horses to wait outside Jinling City in the shortest possible time, and let those two thousand soldiers and horses personally **** Xiao Shijie Go to Beijing."

"The emperor thinks that Xiao Shijie won't go to Beijing obediently?"

Xiao Jin's dark eyes condensed, "Who knows."

Before entering Beijing, Xiao Shijie sent a letter to the capital, stating the time when he would enter Beijing, as if he was afraid that Xiao Jin would be worried.

On the day he left the city, he was even more fanfare. He wished that the entire Jinling City people would know that he was going to the capital.

Xiao Shijie left Jinling City with two hundred men and horses.

There are many hills outside Jinling City, and Xiao Shijie's team reached the hilly area after walking for two hours.

The hills on both sides almost cover the afterglow of the setting sun. They hope you start late, and the sun has already set by now. If you can’t get to the post station to rest at night, you can only camp in the wild.

Xiao Shijie was sitting in the carriage, and the halo illuminated his face flickering through the curtain.

He opened his eyes slowly until the light was getting darker and darker.

"My lord, it's getting late, the team can't reach the station, so we can only camp in the wild."

Xiao Shijie hummed.

Two quarters of an hour later, the team stopped in an open space.

Xiao Shijie got off the carriage, and glanced around.

"Is the person still in the team?"

The guard heard the words and whispered: "Yes, follow all the way."

Xiao Shijie nodded. He knew that spies had sneaked in from the capital, so he did everything he could to convince the person in Beijing that he sincerely wanted to go to Beijing.

The sky is getting dark, and the burning fire will illuminate the surroundings.

Xiao Shijie went into the tent to rest after eating.

As the night deepens, only the crackling of branches in the fire is left in my ears.

A dark cloud drifted across the sky, covering the moon hanging in the hollow, and the earth fell into deeper darkness.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up the sand and stones on the ground. In an instant, countless men in black approached silently. Before Xiao Shijie's men could react, the smell of blood had already spread in the air. .

"There are assassins, there are assassins!" The guard reacted and shouted, piercing the tranquility of the night.

The guard soon started fighting with the man in black.

Xiao Shijie got up when he heard the movement, but there was no fear of being attacked by surprise on his face.

"My lord, there are assassins coming, shall we go back to the city first?"

Xiao Shijie walked out of the tent with a sullen face, looked at the slaughter in front of him and said in a hoarse voice: "How can a few jumping clowns block my son's way to the capital, kill him, let me kill him!"

Xiao Shijie drew out his long sword and joined the battle, but even so, the guards were still retreating steadily.

The man in black is coming in a menacing manner, unstoppable!

The guards guarded Xiao Shijie behind him, "My lord, there are too many men in black, you should go back to the city first, or my subordinates are worried that your lord will be in danger!"

Xiao Shijie's body and face were already stained with blood, but he didn't know whether these people belonged to him or someone else.

Xiao Shijie clenched the long sword in his hand.

"The emperor wants to call this son back to the capital. If this son returns to the city at this time, how should he explain to the emperor? If he misses his father's birthday, wouldn't this son be unfilial?"

Xiao Shijie and others still fought hard to resist, but there were too many people in black.

Xiao Shijie had no choice but to order a retreat.

"Withdraw, go back to the city first."

He gave an order, and the guards sent him to Jinling City to retreat one after another.

What he didn't expect was that when they were retreating, another group of men in black came out from the shadows and pursued them with all their might.

Xiao Shijie turned his head and saw a cold arrow flying towards him. His eyes dimmed slightly, and he could obviously dodge it, but he didn't intend to dodge until the cold arrow pierced his shoulder blade.

Severe pain struck, and Xiao Shijie's eyes went black. Before he lost consciousness, he only heard the urgent calls of his cronies.

Xiao Shijie slowly closed his eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

Xiao Shijie woke up in a burst of pain, opened his eyes, but the surroundings were not everything he was familiar with.

When doubts flashed across his eyes, he saw Zhu Lin walking in from the door.

Xiao Shijie frowned, he was sure that Zhu Lin was not his.

"The prince is awake."

Only then did Xiao Shijie realize that besides the sharp pain in his shoulder blades, he was also sore all over and couldn't exert any strength at all.

"You, who are you?"

Zhu Lin raised a self-conscious smile, "Your official, Zhu Lin, was specially sent by the emperor to pick up the son."

Xiao Shijie's expression froze for a moment, "Pick me up?"

"Yeah, the emperor was worried that the son would go to Jingcheng for a long time, and he was afraid that something would happen to the son, so he asked the subordinate officials to bring people to pick him up. Unexpectedly, the son was assassinated on the way, but the doctor who accompanied him was already the son. I've seen it, although Shizi's injury can't heal in a short time, it doesn't affect the journey, Shizi can arrive in the capital according to the original time."

Xiao Shijie's expression became more and more ugly.

Especially when he met Zhu Lin's piercing eyes, he wished he could jump up and kill him directly!

"The son is happy to rest, and the next official will resign first."

Seeing Zhu Lin back out, Xiao Shijie opened his mouth to call out for his people, but he called out a few times, and only a maid who didn't know him came in.

"May I ask what is your order?"

Xiao Shijie had a sullen face, "Where are the bodyguards of my son, where have they all gone?"
