Chapter 574 Follow the trend
"Brother Jingchen is really obsessed. You know that woman is using you, but you are willing to be at her mercy. Brother Jingchen, don't forget your identity."
Li Shiyao's eyes were filled with sullenness, and she reminded dissatisfiedly.
"I have my own discretion, so I won't bother Shiyao and you."
Xie Jingchen snorted coldly, got up resolutely and was about to go out.
Li Shiyao stepped forward and spread his arms to stop him: "I won't let brother Jingchen go no matter what I say today, how can you live up to my father's expectations of you like this."
Xie Jingchen was stunned, as if being stabbed by a needle in his heart, and then blurted out the words that were in his heart: "I never thought of being the heir of the ten clans of Baiyu. It was Mr. Xiangguo who forced me into this position. If I can't Live according to your heart, I would rather not be a prince."
After saying that, she left her hand blocking the way and walked straight out of the yard.
"Brother Jing Chen."
Li Shiyao's eyes were full of anger, and she was about to stop him unwillingly, but Sixth Uncle Xie immediately shook his head at her, and said in a low voice, "Don't try to persuade Shiyao, since His Royal Highness has made up his mind, let him go."
"But if His Royal Highness is really involved in the matter of the post house today, how can those Qinghe dignitaries and Jingling old ministers let him go back to the country?"
Li Shiyao frowned worriedly: "Sixth Uncle, if you continue to indulge Brother Jing Chen like this, sooner or later he will be harmed by that woman and get out of control."
"Why don't I know."
Uncle Sixth Xie said bitterly: "Obviously we can take this opportunity to get rid of King Pingning's confidant. If he stepped in so rashly, I am afraid that all previous plans will be for naught."
After thinking about it for a moment, Uncle Xie sighed deeply again: "For the current plan, we can only find a way to make King Pingning arrive at the posthouse before Jingchen."
"I'm afraid it will be too late."
Li Shiyao said worriedly.
After all, the post house is located between the restaurant and the capital of Xinzhou. I'm afraid that by the time King Pingning gets the news, Brother Jing Chen has already arrived at the post house.
"I will send someone to send a message to King Pingning."
Uncle Sixth Xie urged eagerly: "Shiyao, you stay at Yuanlai Restaurant, don't go anywhere, I'll personally go and hold Jing Chen for a while."
"Then there will be Uncle Lao Liu."
Li Shiyao responded respectfully, and watched him leave in a hurry with anxiety.
In the back hall of the Governor’s Mansion
Under the dim light, Lin Jinxiao quietly held a roll of documents and was in a daze.
Although he has been calm and indifferent in front of people these days, he always feels a little dignified when he thinks that nearly 2,000 lives will be ruined by his own hands.
But after all, this matter has to be done.
"Your Highness, Army Sima He Ying is asking to see you."
An old and deep voice suddenly rang in his ears, interrupting his chaotic thoughts.
He raised his head and saw that it was Shi Sun Wucai, the Chief of the Prefect, he immediately nodded and said, "Biography."
Not long after, He Ying hurried in. When he saw Lin Jinxiao, he didn't speak immediately, but glanced cautiously at Sun Wucai.
"Sun Changshi, go and do business."
Lin Jinxiao dismissed Sun Wucai knowingly, and then faced the mysterious He Ying again.
He Ying was full of thoughts and didn't know how to speak.
Lin Jinxiao urged in a solemn voice: "But if the princess wants you to bring something to this king, you can just say it."
"The princess said that she was going to the post house in the east of the city, and specially ordered the general to come and inform His Highness."
After getting the answer, He Ying dared to answer bluntly.
"Going to the post house?"
Lin Jinxiao hesitated, with a blank expression on his face: "What is she doing at the post house?"
Did you get some news?
"The last general doesn't know."
He Ying looked at him cautiously, and continued to report: "A few days ago, the princess deliberately let go of the three assassins who assassinated Han Yicheng in Beimufang. People went to the post to catch the assassin."
Lin Jinxiao suddenly realized, it's no wonder that this girl has been so mysterious recently, staying at the gate of the house all day long, so she was actually planning this matter.
What a cunning trickster, actually used such tricks to deceive Han Yicheng.
He Ying glared angrily, Lin Jinxiao reprimanded with some displeasure: "Why didn't you report this matter to the king earlier?"
"Princess Wang said that the time has not come before you can tell His Highness."
He Ying looked up at him in fear, afraid of being punished.
Lin Jinxiao didn't have the time to question this guy's loyalty at this time. Chu Nanzhi went to the posthouse alone.
Maybe it will be self-defeating, and I will be bitten back.
At this juncture, the only way to make a decisive decision is to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
His eyes paused for a moment, he raised his head resolutely, and said to He Ying: "Quickly dispatch dozens of good men to accompany me to the posthouse to catch the assassin."
As soon as the words fell, Sun Wucai's figure appeared at the door again.
Lin Jinxiao looked at him and asked urgently, "What's the matter?"
"Return to Your Highness, the envoy of the Bai Yu Mission is asking to see you."
Sun Wucai reported.
Lin Jinxiao immediately ordered him to bring the person in.
The envoy of the Bai Yu people got the instruction from Uncle Xie Liu, and when he saw Lin Jinxiao, he first bowed respectfully, and then turned to Sun Wucai and He Ying who were beside him with neither humility nor overbearing, and said coldly, "Prince Pingning, please retreat to the left and right. What the envoys have to report is no small matter."
"If you have something to say, say it straight."
Lin Jinxiao's piercing eyes contained a bit of contempt, solemn and majestic, he didn't pay attention to Bai Yu's warning at all.
"Well, the envoy was originally out of concern for His Highness's face. Since His Highness is so straightforward, the envoy will speak up."
The emissary raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Pingning asked me to meet His Highness the Crown Prince alone at the posthouse in the east of the city today. My Royal Highness, Prince Min, is here to inform His Highness, considering the reputation of King Ping Ning, and please His Royal Highness to do it on his own." Consider."
Paused, he grinned and said with a light smile: "Recently there have been rumors in the city, so don't hurt the harmony of the two Highnesses because of this matter."
His expression fluctuated slightly, full of gloating.
When Sun Wucai and He Ying heard these words, they felt very harsh, and immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense, Princess Pingning knows the general idea."
Lin Jinxiao waved his hands leisurely and contentedly, interrupting the anger of the two of them, facing Envoy Bai Yu with a wicked smile, and sighed meaningfully: "Thank you for reminding me, see you off."
There is no trace of anger on the face at all.
Sure enough, he was not as good as a lady than Yin Hurting himself.
Prince Xie tried his best to avoid this quagmire, but he never expected to be dragged into the vortex of right and wrong.
My lady planned so hard, how could I fail her good intentions, I must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, take advantage of the trend, and bring down Concubine Yue and the King of Nandu.
Right now, the post house has been turned into a pool of muddy water, and no one can see clearly the motives of those who enter.
"Count the troops and set off immediately."
Lin Jinxiao fetched the Son of Heaven Sword and led He Ying out of the Governor's Mansion. After gathering a large number of soldiers, they marched towards the East City Post.
