Chapter 759 Using body as bait

Seeing that the Yizhou army and horses finally left, everyone in the city cheered and clapped their hands to celebrate, and opened the city gate to welcome the Langzhou army into the city.

Seeing the people of Anhe County walking down the tower surrounded by Chu Nanzhi and the two elders, Ji Rongheng bowed his hands respectfully and saluted, but then his expression became a little solemn: "The final general is ordered by Lord Governor and Princess Yan Jing, please Concubine Ning went to Langzhou Prefecture to have a gathering."

Chu Nanzhi also guessed that this guy would not let him go easily, but fortunately he finally came to repel the Yizhou army, so it doesn't matter if he stays in Langzhou for a longer time.

Looking at the two elders in dismay, Chu Nanzhi replied with a warm smile: "Thank you for the rescue today, and please guide the way."

"Princess, you are being polite, this is the general's duty."

After Ji Rongheng finished speaking, he arranged for a team to garrison Anhe County, and then sent an outpost to go out of the city to check the road conditions, and took the rest of the soldiers to stay at the city gate and wait for everyone to set off.

Hu Maoxi accompanied Chu Nanzhi to the posthouse, thinking that she didn't know what the situation was going to be, so she couldn't help worrying: "Although the siege of the Yizhou army has been solved at the moment, the princess needs to be more careful when she arrives at the state capital. I heard that Princess Yan Jing has ordered her confidantes to mobilize troops to guard the border areas these days, so I'm afraid she doesn't intend to move the army northward."

"It doesn't matter, now she has only one way to choose, and that is to follow the order to enter Beijing, otherwise it is to resist the order."

Chu Nanzhi replied casually: "I don't think Governor Ji doesn't want to see this happen."

"I'm afraid that the governor will not be able to restrain the eldest princess."

Hu Maoxi carefully inspected the surroundings, and reminded in a low voice: "The lower official also heard that Princess Yan Jing recently intends to gather military power. After all, the princess is a member of the palace, and the governor does not want to conflict with her."

"Master Hu, don't worry about me anymore, let's take one step at a time."

After tossing and tossing around these days, she was finally able to settle down. At this moment, Chu Nanzhi just wants to be salted fish for two days, to rest and recuperate.

"Master Hu must take good care of Anhe County."

After giving Hu Maoxi a few words, they went to the post house, picked up Liu Yun and the little treasures, bid farewell to Hu Maoxi and his wife, and the group continued to walk towards the Langzhou state capital.

After driving for a day, they went to a post station near Debeikang County to take a rest. After eating some meals prepared by the post post, Li Ce and the two elders quietly came to the courtyard where Chu Nanzhi was. .

At this moment, Chu Nanzhi had just coaxed the little treasures to sleep. Seeing the two elders coming, she immediately ordered Sang Qi and Tang Weiming to prepare tea. They sat around in the inner room, watching the blazing charcoal fire. Chang Lao first said:

"Nan Zhi, now we have successfully entered the hinterland of Langzhou. If we go straight south along the official road, we can return to Pingning Prefecture in just one day. Sanlang suggested that we go south overnight and bypass the state capital of Langzhou. Lifting is advisable, I don't know how you like it?"

"Since Princess Yan Jing sincerely invites us, if we leave rashly, wouldn't it be a disappointment to her sincerity."

Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and looked at them with a slight smile. Seeing that Li Ce and the elders were stunned, she patiently explained: "I have thought about the concerns of the elders. Princess Yanjing should have known that Chang Lao is holding a lot of money. There is an imperial edict from King Qin, but she did not order Governor Rong Heng to **** us south immediately, so it can be seen that she intends to detain us in Langzhou."

"Since this is the case, we should try to leave."

Nie Huai'an was very puzzled and said: "If we really entered the state capital, it would not be easy for us to get out."

"Not to mention that the governor of Rongheng led the army to accompany him. Even if he intends to let me go, I heard the county magistrate Hu mention today that Princess Yan Jing has already let her confidants guard various passes. The road to the south is not easy."

After a moment of silence, Chu Nanzhi continued: "Furthermore, if your Highness wants to go north, he must take down Langzhou. If we leave Langzhou City, it will not be easy to come back. Since Princess Yanjing If you want to invite you into the urn, why don't we push the boat along the way and come to cooperate with each other."

"The inside should be combined with the outside?"

Chang Yanjue felt that her idea was too crazy.

"The situation in Jingling City is at stake now. I'm afraid that the governors of all states are watching the situation in Beijing. We have to take Langzhou as soon as possible."

Since leaving Jingling City, Chu Nanzhi has always been concerned about the safety of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Ji, and only hoped that she could rush back to the capital early to rescue Princess Shu.

"I heard that His Highness defeated the Dongsang bandits in Haining County. Now I have to go to the Langzhou Prefecture to divert the attention of the Langzhou Army. Elder Chang can take this opportunity to find a way to send Prince Xie back to Shita City. When he returns to the southern border, the troubles of the Baiyu people will be resolved, if His Highness can go all out to prepare for the northward journey, then I think Princess Yanjing will not have the courage to detain us even if she intends to detain us."

As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Chang Yanjue immediately stroked his beard and laughed happily: "You girl is really smart, now they only know that you are in Langzhou, they don't know that Prince Xie has also arrived in Langzhou, and you will be here soon. Entering the territory of Jiangnan, it is not difficult to send Prince Xie away."

"Well, it just so happens that we also test General Rong Heng's sincerity first."

Chu Nanzhi smiled slyly, leaned close to Li Ce and muttered a few words in a low voice, Li Ce got up immediately with understanding, and hurried out of the room.

"Second elder, go back to the house and rest quickly."

Chu Nanzhi sent off Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an, and went back to the bedroom to sleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, she woke up and found that the posthouse was noisy, and the noise became a mess.

Chu Nanzhi rushed out, and saw the two elders yelling in the outer courtyard: "Li Sanlang, a wolf-hearted thing, actually left the princess and ran away alone. If I see him again, I will definitely cut him to pieces."

Ji Rongheng just came from the camp. Hearing the old man's yelling and cursing, he glanced angrily at the sergeant guarding the post.

The general on duty shook his head in misery, and said falteringly: "General Li invited the general to drink last night, saying that he wanted to thank us for going to Anhe County to rescue the princess, and the general dared not refuse to obey. A few glasses of wine, and when I woke up, I heard that General Li had disappeared."

In front of everyone, Ji Rongheng dared not speak out. Although he told the sergeants under him not to treat Princess Pingning and her party slowly, he did not let them relax their vigilance.

Fortunately, the concubine and the princes and masters of the Xiaojun were still in the post, so he begged immediately: "Your Majesty, send someone to chase the escaped followers back."

However, Tang Weiming looked at Ji Rongheng coldly, and looked at Chu Nanzhi meaningfully: "Princess, I heard that Princess Yan Jing wanted to detain you and Xiaojun Wang Xiaojun in Langzhou. Since I came here from Anhe County, everyone has been silent." Frightened and trembling, General Li must have been unwilling to be imprisoned in Langzhou City with Wang Hao, so he fled overnight."

As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Ji Rongheng again, and continued: "The servant just counted the people who accompanied him, and nine out of ten have escaped with General Li."

"Princess, the general has absolutely no intention of detaining you, and please don't worry about it."

Ji Rongheng replied with trepidation: "Princess Yanjing has admired the princess for a long time, and she is eager to see her. When the concubine meets the princess, she will definitely **** the princess and everyone out of Langzhou safely."

"The governor is a loyal man. I can trust your words. I will follow you to Langzhou."

Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.

Afraid that he would really send someone to chase after Li Ce and Xie Jingchen and his party, he pretended to be calm and added, "Let these escaped guard servants go."

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice: "After all, that Saburo is also the brother of the idiot. I don't blame him for not escorting me to the state capital."
