Xia Chu swallowed those unspeakable words and finally got on his horse and followed him towards the nearest city.
Han Sa turned around after hearing the sound of horse hooves. Naturally, he could only see the dust raised by the two BMWs galloping away.
He cursed "Gan" and quickly got on his horse, chasing after the two of them...
At this time, the one who was cursing the two of them along with Han Sa was Bian Ding who was staying in King Mo's military camp in Yucheng.
Xia Chu sent everyone a letter telling them their return date, but forgot to send one to Bian Ding.
Probably because the raven's poisonous period has passed, and Bian Ding has been used to being abused by the raven in recent days, and he doesn't get letters urging Xia Chu to go back as often as before.
Besides, at the speed he and Xiao Mubai were going, they would be able to get back to Yucheng by the beginning of next month at the most.
Therefore, Xia Chu never specifically informed Bian of his return date.
And in the past few days, Bian Ding, although he was beaten a bit severely by the raven, he also found that he was getting stronger and faster.
For example, before he couldn't even touch the corner of Raven's clothes, but now he can occasionally pinch it.
He was extremely happy but had no one to share it with, so during this period, apart from occasionally conveying letters to Xia Chu, he and Bian Hao exchanged letters privately.
Bian Hao is now following Bingwen, doing nothing but being a homing pigeon all day long.
When he first received a letter and found out that it was from him, he wondered if he was hallucinating out of boredom. When he pulled it away and saw that it was Bian Ding chatting with him, he also filled his stomach with it. The bitter water was poured out to Bian Ding and he complained.
And Bian Ding received a letter from Bian Hao today. The letter reprimanded him for not informing him of such a major event as the young master's return to the capital. By the way, he asked when Bian Ding would arrive in the capital.
There was a buzzing sound in Bian Ding's mind as he held the letter, and the words "Young Master Returning to Beijing" kept floating in front of his eyes.
What is the young master going to do? Is he still going to be an ascetic in the military camp? Aren't you going to take him with you when you return to Beijing
These days, the raven has always been anxious and he is calm and composed.
Now, finally, even he couldn't sit still anymore.
He hurriedly wrote to Xia Chu to ask, if the young master really doesn’t plan to take him back to Beijing, then he will take Raven back to Beijing...
The only one who was worse off than Bian Ding and Bian Hao was Bian Zhao. This time he followed Xiao Zimu from Beijing to Guwan.
I thought it was a light job, just to pass letters occasionally, but I was happily thinking that after returning home after the gold plating, I might be transferred to the young master's side.
Who would have thought that something so big would happen to Xiao Zimu along the way.
At present, they have already started on their way back to Beijing.
However, Bian Zhao's nerves were so shattered that he did not dare to relax for a moment.
The main reason why Xiao Zimu was so anxious to go back was because Zheng Zhongguang was still unconscious. He was worried that the longer Zheng Zhongguang was delayed, the slimmer his chance of waking up would be.
Therefore, when he got up the next day, he first went to visit Zhao Xingwen.
Seeing that he was very active after a night's rest after detoxifying, he felt at ease and decided to set off immediately.
Originally, Zhao Xingwen heard Xiao Zimu mention that Qiu Baohua, who was escorting the troops on the top of the mountain, was from the Zhao family army. Then he recalled that there was such a person in the army six years ago, and he said why the name sounded so familiar.
Originally, Zhao Xingwen wanted to go to Qiu Baocai to catch up with his old friend when he met him in a foreign country.
Unfortunately, Xiao Zimu was in a hurry to return to Beijing, so he had no choice but to give up.
Xiao Zimu ordered Yin Guangbo to block the news that Zheng Zhongguang was still alive, and then asked Xin Ya to disguise Zheng Zhongguang before carrying him onto the carriage.
When he went out, Mai Zhenjin was still there, and when he saw Xiao Zimu traveling, he offered to escort him.
Xiao Zimu did not refuse this time. The last time he tried to return to Beijing secretly, he was ambushed. Until now, he has not been able to find out who the private army came from. And the Arrow Team that supported him later was indeed someone else. be terrified.
Therefore, he decided to return to Beijing with great fanfare this time.
Wherever he went, he would be escorted by military governors. He wanted to see which city dared to spare the effort to let the prince die in broad daylight under their jurisdiction under such blatant circumstances.
Not to mention, ever since Xiao Zimu revealed his identity and walked on the official road with swagger.
This kind of ambush has never happened again.
However, according to this itinerary, every time a territory is changed, there will be a handover between the Jiedushi envoys, and the subordinate officials will also greet each other, so it is inevitable that there will be a need for polite greetings.
Therefore, the process is extremely slow.
If we keep going at this rate, I don't think I'll be able to return to Kyoto by the middle of next month.
Now, they had just passed through Wuzhou, and the prefect Pu Youren did not dare to neglect them. He had been waiting for Xiao Zimu at the junction with Qingling.
"Your Highness, your Majesty has already prepared a room for you in the mansion. How about you spend the night at your Majesty's residence?" Pu Youren's words were polite.
He originally thought that according to Xiao Zimu's temperament, he would just refuse and go to the inn.
Therefore, he had already ordered people to arrange the inn early, so that His Highness could understand his thoughtfulness.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zimu actually nodded when he heard this and replied to him: "Then just follow what Master Pu said."
This time it was Pu Youren's turn to be stunned on the spot. He had already tried to find out. Xiao Zimu had stayed at all the inns along the way, so why...
"Master Pu?" Xiao Zimu walked to the front and found that he had not followed, so he turned around and called him suspiciously.
"Yes, it's an honor to be a lower-ranking official." Pu Youren finally realized what he was doing and hurriedly followed, leading Xiao Zimu towards his mansion.
"Your Highness, I have prepared a dinner for you to clean up. Do you think you should go back to rest for a while, or go directly to the meal?" Pu Youren asked with great respect, but from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Xiao Zimu would refuse. It's not that he is reluctant to spend the money, it's just that he feels that he can't control it.
Ever since I learned about the majesty of His Majesty the Seventh Prince in the Zheng Mansion in ancient Anhui, I knew that he was extremely disgusted with corrupt officials.
Some time ago, I heard that he had completely ransacked Zheng Zhongguang's mansion, and he really didn't spare any mercy.
Therefore, he was worried about how grand the dinner should be and how many dishes should be served. Pu Youren lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Mubai from the corner of his eyes, wanting to hear him say no.
It's a pity that Xiao Zimu smiled warmly: "Since Mr. Pu is ready, I can't waste your hard work, so let's go."
Pu Youren's expression froze, and then he nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration. I will lead you there right now."
Zhao Xingwen, who was accompanying him, was too lazy to socialize with this kind of officialdom, but took Su Qian'an to the Pu Mansion to settle Zheng Zhongguang first.
Pu Youren sent someone to take Zhao Xingwen back to his home and did not dare to say anything. Today, Xiao Zimu did not follow the directions. When he arrived, his place was always special than other places, which made him feel uneasy.
After leading Xiao Zimu to the largest restaurant in Wuzhou, he raised his hand to signal the sedan to stop, and whispered softly beside the sedan: "His Royal Highness is here."
Xin Ya opened the sedan curtain when he heard this. Pu Youren frowned slightly when he saw Xiao Zimu coming to the restaurant, and hurriedly stepped forward and said humbly.
"Your Highness, this dinner is all spent on the official's annual salary."
