Chapter 542 Poisoned Milk Prophecy
Looking at Ji Cen'an's questioning eyes, Chu Nanzhi immediately realized that something was wrong with what she said.
It is impossible for me to meet Xie Jingchen by chance on the road.
One is going north, and the other is coming from the south. There is no intersection point at all. This coincidence is too outrageous.
My old lady is such a pig brain.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't stand it and scolded herself secretly.
Originally, she had nothing to do with Xie Jingchen, but this would make people suspicious.
Xie Jingchen saw the embarrassment on her face, and quickly explained: "It's not exactly on the way, in fact, my subordinates have already discovered that this group of people are sneaky, and their behavior is very suspicious. I heard about your country in the city. Regarding the assassination of the imperial envoy, I knew that King Pingning's legs and feet were not flexible, so I wanted to take down this group of people for him by the way, but I met Princess Pingning on the way."
Originally, he didn't want people to realize that he still had manpower in the empire, so Xie Jingchen had to reveal some information in order to rescue her.
Anyway, it’s not a secret that spies from various factions of the two countries are inquiring about each other’s intelligence, and being able to find spies is considered a skill.
But after saying this, he couldn't help giving Chu Nanzhi a look.
He has seen this woman's intelligence before, so he probably won't help her husband get rid of himself.
Chu Nanzhi smiled knowingly, and couldn't help but think of the last time he was injured.
Although she was grateful to Deng Tuzi for helping her out of the siege, so far she still couldn't tell whether this guy was an enemy or a friend.
He dared to come to the Dahe Empire must have made an arrangement, as long as he is not an enemy of himself, he does not want to be an enemy of him.
After all, such a good-looking man became an enemy, and it is quite a pity to think about it.
There is no chance to sleep with him in this life, it would be nice to look at him once in a while.
Looking at the crowd with a smile, Chu Nanzhi kept blinking her brows and said joyfully, "Thanks to Prince Xie for your help, otherwise this gang of assassins would have escaped today."
After hearing what the two said, Ji Cen'an glanced at Chen Chuan meaningfully.
Chen Chuanben also felt guilty for letting Qi Jiang run away. He never thought that Prince Xie would be captured. While being vigilant, he felt somewhat grateful in his heart, and nodded calmly towards Ji Cen'an.
Ji Cen'an felt relieved, and ordered the prisoner to be escorted over, and urged Chu Nanzhi: "Brother Jin Xiao and everyone are still waiting at the house, let's go back quickly."
"it is good."
Chu Nanzhi handed over the imperial decree to Ji Cen'an, stepped on the horse, and led everyone to the city.
When we arrived at the North City Gate, it was already past the curfew.
Because the day of the canonization ceremony is coming soon, the curfew has become stricter than before, and many soldiers have been sent to guard the city.
Seeing that it was Ji Cen'an who led the army back, the young general defending the city immediately ordered someone to open the city gate.
Thinking that there are still so many guests being detained in the house, Chu Nanzhi sighed helplessly.
Although she guessed that it might be a guest of the house who instigated Lin Jinhong and Qi Jiang against her, the rest of the relatives were innocent, and she felt really sorry for making everyone suffer.
Turning her head, she glanced at Ji Cen'an with a solemn expression, and she ordered: "Commander Ji, I have to trouble you and your brothers tonight, and help **** the guests home. Later outside the city, you and the treasurer Sang Kun will put them in the inn of the restaurant, and the garden of Qinghefang has been laid out right now, let everyone eat, drink and have fun in the restaurant tomorrow and then go home soon."
After finishing speaking, he took out five hundred taels of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Ji Cen'an, telling him: "You distribute these taels of silver to the brothers who are running around tonight. After finishing their work tonight, let them rest and take a rest tomorrow." Day, take it easy."
Looking around at the expectant eyes, Ji Cen'an had no choice but to take the banknote and replied with a smile: "Then I will thank brother and sister-in-law for your kindness on behalf of the soldiers."
"You're welcome."
Chu Nanzhi took another two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Chen Chuan: "Lieutenant Chen worked hard tonight, it's getting late, you took everyone to the restaurant to fill their stomachs first, and handed over the money to the fallen soldiers on my behalf their families."
Although all the soldiers under Chen Chuan have been incorporated into the royal guards now, and the rewards and punishments have their own military merits, but today he led fifty people to take down the Li family compound in an instant, and he was still eager to arrest Qi Jiang and bring him to justice. In the absence of help, this kind of loyalty and courage is really touching.
Put the silver ticket into Chen Chuan's hand, watched the group leave, and then Chu Nanzhi followed Ji Cen'an back to the old house in Chongrenfang.
The yard was still buzzing with people, seeing Chu Nanzhi's return, Liu Yun led the little ones to greet her immediately in a hurry.
"Aniang, are you injured anywhere?"
The little treasures surrounded her and looked at her whole body carefully, their eyes were full of joy and a little worried.
"Mother is fine."
Chu Nanzhi squatted down, stared at the very tired little guys, and said with distress: "I have kept you in fear for so long, and my mother has come back safe and sound, so hurry up and follow grandma to rest, children can't stay up."
"Yes, just come back, just come back, if you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Liu Yun replied excitedly, but a pair of bright eyes couldn't help looking at the extra face beside him. It was so handsome that the son-in-law might think about it when he saw it.
I don’t know where I got it from.
Chu Nanzhi inadvertently saw Lin Jinxiao who was being supported by Wei Ziqing in the crowd, and first told Liu Yun: "Mother, take the little treasures to rest first, and Yun Qing will let him go with Dabao and Sanbao tonight." sleep."
"Okay, if you have anything to do, you can tell A Zhu, A Xiang and Shu Yang to do it."
Liu Yun gave some instructions and took the little treasures to the backyard.
Lin Jinxiao and Wei Ziqing came forward, and they both looked at Xie Jingchen beside him in unison.
Wei Ziqing stayed with Lin Jinxiao at the mansion for a long time, facing Zhang's cold face all the time, only at this moment did he see that the cloud on his face had dissipated a lot, and he was busy concerned: "Sister Zhi is finally back, but what's the matter with you?" Your Highness is worried."
Lin Jinxiao has been watching Xie Jingchen with cold eyes, and found that he has been secretly looking at his wife from time to time, and there is an indescribable kindness in his eyes, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart.
The people from Caiyi Station came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Baiyu Royal Family had personally brought the mission to Luyan Port, but they suddenly disappeared.
Thinking of the mysterious person in Broken Dragon Mountain who was rescued by Chu Nanzhi, he immediately connected the whole situation together, and said with a vigilant smile: "Your Excellency must be the Prince Xie of the Baiyu Royal Family, right?"
"Exactly."
Xie Jingchen cupped his hands unhurriedly: "I have seen King Pingning."
"I heard that Prince Xie came here for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. He did not hesitate to go to our court in person. He is full of sincerity. The visitor is a guest, so he will stay in the post for a few more days. After the king informs His Majesty, he will send someone to **** Xie. When the crown prince enters the capital, he can stay in the capital for a few more days, so he doesn't have to worry about going back, he just has to enjoy the local customs and customs of our Dahe Empire."
Lin Jinxiao smiled at him indifferently.
Chu Nanzhi immediately sensed that the little boy wanted to detain Xie Jingchen in the territory.
What can I do, I am really a poisoned milk prophecy, and it has come true.
