Nalan Jinnian said that since he had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, he could not ride in a carriage but could only ride on horseback.
Of course Wang Xiao has no objection to Wen Nuan. Now Wen Wen is used to living on horseback. Anyway, he spends one or two months every year on horseback.
Being in a carriage is not as comfortable as riding a horse, although you can sleep in a carriage.
Ouyang Kun was ordered to lead Wang Xiao back to Beijing. Wang Xiao and Nalan Jinnian rode back to Beijing together. How could he go back in a carriage
If Wang Xiao has returned to Beijing and he is still on the road, then he, the Young Minister of Dali Temple, will really be at the end of his rope.
So he could only follow on horseback.
Along the way, Nuan Nuan, Nalan Jinnian, and Wang Xiao rode their horses very fast!
They took a shortcut, which required them to cross mountains and ridges, and they were still on the road at night. They dismounted and rested for two-quarters of an hour, ate some dry food, let the horses eat and drink some water, and then continued on their way. Until three o'clock in the morning.
Traveling like this, Wen Nuan and the others didn't think anything was wrong. They were used to it, but this was a hardship for the civil servant Ouyang Kun!
He usually rides a carriage. Where has he ever ridden a horse for so long
By the end of the day, the sides of his thighs were worn.
Tonight, they need to rest in the wilderness for a night and start their journey again tomorrow.
Nalan Jinnian helped Wen Nuan get off the horse and said, "We'll just spend the night in this forest tonight."
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Okay."
At this time Xia Xuan came over and bowed respectfully: "Master, Princess Hui'an, General Wang, the tent has been set up."
Nalan Jinnian nodded: "Okay."
Nuan Nuan said to Xia Xuan: "Thank you for your hard work, Vice Admiral Xia. This is a body-building pill. I won't be so tired after taking it." Originally, he only had to take care of Nalan Jinnian, but now he has to take care of himself and Wang Xiao.
Nuan Nuan also felt that being the guard around Nalan Jinnian was really hard.
Xia Xuan took it with both hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Princess Hui'an. This is what a subordinate should do."
Wang Xiao patted Xia Li on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest."
Nalan Jinnian nodded to Xia Li. He would start early tomorrow and take care of everything in advance.
Xia Li bowed and then withdrew.
Wang Xiao said to Wen Nuan and Nalan Jinnian: "I'm going to bed, you two should go to bed early."
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Uncle, remember to take the strengthening pill before going to bed, so that you won't be so tired when you wake up tomorrow."
Wang Xiao nodded, then walked to a nearby tent and got in.
Nalan Jinnian pointed to the tent in the middle: "Go to bed quickly."
Nuan Nuan nodded and walked to the middle tent and got in.
Ouyang Kun came to Nalan Jinnian with trembling legs: "King Jin, where is the official's tent?"
Nalan Jinnian looked at him coldly: "I will help you?"
Ouyang Kun: "..., I don't dare!"
Nalan Jinnian ignored him and walked directly to the tent next to Wen Nuan. He thought of something and suddenly turned around and said, "Everyone is tired after a long day of traveling. Mr. Ouyang can do whatever he wants. Don't make any noise to disturb me!"
Ouyang Kun: "Yes."
Nalan Jinnian got directly into the tent and slept.
Ouyang Kun could only instruct the emperor to set up tents for his guards.
After the guards set up the tent, he got in and lay down. He felt that his old bones were about to fall apart and his legs hurt so much that he finally fell asleep. Within a quarter of an hour, he was woken up by the guards and set off. .
Ouyang Kun almost burst into tears!
Did King Jin want to torture him to death
Ouyang Kun finally got up. He didn't even have a sip of hot water, let alone a sip of dry food.
Nalan Jinnian and Wen Nuan set off!
He watched their backs disappear into the night, hurriedly got on his horse, and chased after them.
On this day, I started traveling from 3:00 yin hour to 3:00 pm!
I just rested for an hour and ate some solid food.
It was another night sleeping in the wilderness. They had a tent that Xia Xuan had set up in advance, but he didn't.
Ouyang Kun felt like he was about to die. He dragged his legs, which had no other feeling except pain, to the front of Nalan Jinnian: "King Jin, why don't we change to a carriage at the inn? I really can't bear it. ”
Nalan Jinnian said expressionlessly: "We must return to the capital as soon as possible. The emperor's order cannot be violated! This is the fastest way to return to the capital. Mr. Ouyang wants to resist the order and not obey it?"
Ouyang Kun: "......"
The following days were like this every day, Ouyang Kun was tortured to death!
Over the past twenty days, he didn't know how he returned to the capital alive.
On the morning of the sixth day of September, the city gate had just opened, and they finally returned to the capital.
Ouyang Kun looked at the familiar and majestic city gate excitedly, and said to the guard beside him: "Are you arriving in the capital?"
The guard nodded sympathetically: "Go back to Master Ouyang, the capital has arrived!"
"We're finally here!" After saying that, Ouyang Kun fell directly from his horse to the ground.
"Lord Ouyang!" The guard quickly jumped off his horse.
Hearing the noise coming from behind, Nuan Nuan looked back and said, "Master Ouyang fell."
Nalan Jinnian didn't even look back at him: "Oh, the guards will take him to see the imperial doctor. Let's go! Enter the palace to meet the saint!"
Nuan Nuan thought so and continued riding into the city with Nalan Jinnian.
Wang Xiao looked back and couldn't help but think, he must not offend King Jin!
Otherwise, they will be punished miserably.
He glanced at Nuan again, hey, is it good or bad for Sister Nuan to marry such a man
King Jin became ruthless, too ruthless!
I hope King Jin can treat Sister Nuan as he always has in this life!
But this may not be possible. King Jin will be the emperor in the future.
In the future, his harem will have three thousand beauties...
Wang Xiao shook his head and thought no more. Sister Nuan is so smart. Even if there are three thousand beauties, few of them can be her rival.
Besides, as long as she is the queen, no one can surpass her!

In the capital, at this time, Duke Anguo's Mansion and Wang Xiao's General Mansion were surrounded by heavy troops.
The emperor was under pressure from all the civil and military officials in the dynasty, so he did not immediately search the house for a thorough investigation!
There was no other way. Wang Xiao's cronies personally admitted that Wang Xiao had deliberately embezzled money from the former treasury. This can be regarded as both human and material evidence.
The evidence is conclusive. If the emperor does not do something, then the national law will be meaningless and it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.
In the morning of this day, the emperor received a letter from the king of Dongling Kingdom.
The Dongling Kingdom said that General Wang of the Nalan Kingdom led his troops to enter their Dongling border without any reason, burned all the food in their granaries, killed their Dongling soldiers, and deliberately caused trouble!
The Emperor of Nalan Kingdom is required to give an explanation, otherwise Dongling Kingdom will definitely send troops to demand justice!
As soon as this news came out, it caused a sensation throughout the government and the public!
The Minister of Industry stood up immediately: "Your Majesty, General Wang dares to disobey the emperor's orders, seek trouble at the border, and deliberately sow discord between Nalan Kingdom and Dongling Kingdom. This is the root of the plan to bring disaster to the country! Please send more troops, Your Majesty." I will personally go to the border to arrest General Wang and bring him to justice! And immediately order the house to be searched and a thorough investigation of An Guo Gong’s Mansion and General Wang’s Mansion!”
