Su Ningxin handed her hand to Chu Jihan, and then stood up following his strength, "Go back first, in case you encounter..."
[Mediocre people are in trouble.]
She was only halfway through her words before she stopped immediately. This was something she couldn't say.
Judging from Su Ningxin's experience of living for three lifetimes, flags must not be set randomly. If one mistake is made, it will become a prophecy. Losing a flag or something else will be too tragic.
"Well, let's go that way. The Yang family probably won't send anyone to guard the border." Chu Jihan nodded in agreement. Because he could hear Su Ningxin's thoughts, he didn't notice that Su Ningxin only said half of what he said.
Although the two people hurried back, they did not rush to use Qing Kung as they did when escaping. After all, human physical strength is limited, and they could not use Qing Kung all the time, so they just walked along the path.
During the process, the two of them chatted about each other. It was easy for them to find common topics, and they could talk about the tasks they had already performed.
For example, Chu Jihan said that four years ago I arrested a corrupt official in Qinghe Prefecture. The corrupt official actually hid the account book in the coffin he prepared for his parents. If I hadn't followed him, I wouldn't have been able to find it.
Then Su Ning thought to herself, I remember the corrupt official you mentioned. When the account books were sent to the capital, the evidence was conclusive. However, the uncle in the capital actually wanted to protect him and was beaten by the Queen Mother before he gave up.
The two of them walked like this, and unknowingly they got a lot closer.
"There is a sound." Chu Jihan suddenly stopped and said warily.
Behind her, Su Ningxin was gnawing fruit in her hand. She didn't dare to move at this time. She puffed up her cheeks and looked ahead. As a result, when she raised her head, she met the eyes of twenty or so pairs of people who had just turned the corner on the opposite side.
Both sides were confused. They didn't expect to meet someone on the mountain road. What kind of fate is this? Thousands of paths collided with each other.
Su Ningxin: "..." He's still an acquaintance.
Su Ningxin spit out the sour fruit and touched her face with her hands. Fortunately, the disguise was still there.
The person coming across from him was He Lianfu, who had a relationship with Su Ningxin. He not only assassinated Prince An, but also went to the Prince's Mansion in the middle of the night to steal his bay-red horse, but he stole it by mistake.
Momo turned his eyes behind them and saw a bay-red horse being held by two guards. They were probably afraid that the horse would run away if they could not be held by one person.
[This damn horse thief!]Su Ningxin cursed in her heart. She even wanted to scold this mediocre man for having no future. He finally sneaked into Daming Mansion City and stole horses again!
"Dayong's horse thief!" Su Ningxin suddenly shouted, and at the same time kicked up a small stone on the mountain road and threw it at the opponent.
Chu Jihan also noticed the horses they were holding. After hearing Su Ningxin's words, he confirmed their identities and rushed over without holding back.
Although there were more than 20 people on the other side, the narrow mountain road did not allow them to form a formation. Therefore, although Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan were small in number, they were able to deal with them with their strong martial arts.
An hour later, Chu Jihan and Su Ningxin were galloping on the plains of Daming Mansion on horseback. Su Ningxin sighed in her heart, "Giving a pony a thousand miles away is a light gift but a heavy heart."]
If Helian Fu hadn't brought the bay-red horse back, it would have taken them a day and a night to return to Fucheng. Now that they had the horse, they could go back in half a day.
When they met Dayong's men, they took a preemptive strike and fought with Dayong's secret guards, and then took advantage of the chaos to lead their horses and run away.
At that time, Helian Fu seemed to be very unwilling and wanted to turn around and pursue him, but was stopped by the people around him. After all, there were Da Qi's pursuers behind them. If they were overtaken by delay, it would be difficult to escape.
Although Helian Fu is a prince, there are many Dayong princes. Whether he is the most favored by Emperor Dayong or not will offend the second prince who came with him.
The second prince was very dissatisfied when he stole horses in the prince's palace. Now if he offends him again, he may not be able to avoid being whipped when he returns to Dayong.
Therefore, although Helian Fu was a little aggrieved, he could only give up the pursuit with regret and went back to Dayong with everyone.
If Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan faced Dayong's twenty or so secret guards head-on, they would definitely be no match. Fortunately, they took advantage of the terrain and struck first, allowing them to escape smoothly.
"...How can you say there is such a person, who travels across mountains and rivers to sneak into the prince's palace just to steal a horse." Su Ningxin told Chu Jihan what happened while he was away.
This also made Chu Jihan feel at ease. He was originally worried that these mediocre people could steal the horses from the prince's palace, and they must have caused some damage to the prince's palace. He was worried that something would happen to his father, princess, and concubines.
Hearing what Su Ningxin said and knowing that the other party was a horse thief made him feel relieved.
After settling down, Chu Jihan looked at the maroon horse beneath him and said, "It is indeed a very smart horse."
This also made Chu Jihan couldn't help but think of Shen Qinglai back then. He remembered that Su Ningxin had a very good relationship with him back then. He was probably a member of Fengying's secret guard, but he heard that Fengying always only had women. He didn't know if it was a rumor. mistaken.
Chu Jihan wanted to ask about the relationship between Su Ningxin and Shen Qing, but he gave up in the end.
After all, Shen Qing has passed away, or he died to save himself, so what can he do if he asks
The two quickly rushed back to Fucheng. When they saw the gate of Fucheng closed from a distance, Su Ningxin couldn't help but frowned, "If the horse was just stolen, wouldn't it be like this?"
Although the bay-red horse is very important to Su Ningxin, to other people in the prince's palace, it is just an ordinary horse. It is also a horse that the princess keeps but does not ride. Lock the city gate.
Chu Jihan behind him also felt a little uneasy. His hand holding the reins was so tight that the veins on his hands were showing.
Noticing Chu Jihan's strange behavior, Su Ningxin took a deep breath and held Chu Jihan's hand, "Don't worry, you'll know what happened when you go back and take a look. Do you have any tokens or anything like that?" ?”
After Su Ningxin's reminder, Chu Jihan realized that the two of them couldn't even enter the city gate in their current appearance. They couldn't even show off their disguises to show off their faces. Because of his reputation as a sickly man, he rarely appeared in Daming Mansion. Very few people have passed him.
Chu Jihan thought for a moment and realized that there really were no tokens from Prince An's palace, but he did carry a token from the emperor's secret guard. Although he shouldn't take it out easily, he didn't care about that much now.
The two of them entered the city gate smoothly. Su Ningxin also casually asked the soldiers guarding the city what happened. The soldiers said that Prince An was assassinated and injured, but there was no news about the emperor. He should have been injured by the Yang family. People hid it.
[The timing of Dayong's search is really good. At this juncture, Prince An was hurt. Once the city gate was locked, no one would pay attention to what happened to the emperor of the Yang family manor. I wonder if it was a coincidence or something?] Su Ningxin thought silently, and in a blink of an eye she arrived at the gate of Prince Anjun's Mansion.
