His highness's Allure - Chap 247
Jiang Yubai immediately stopped the carriage, and without looking back, he got into the carriage behind him very dashingly.
There were only Chengfeng and Liu Zhiyuan in the carriage behind, Jiang Yubai drove Liu Zhiyuan to the carriage in front to be the driver.
Liu Zhiyuan was properly arranged, and instead of Zhao Litang, Zhao Litang went directly into the carriage.
A Lanyue was leaning against the car window and looking out, when she saw Zhao Litang sitting in, her body couldn’t help tensing up.
Zhao Litang saw his reaction and smiled bitterly, “I’ll come in and sit down, don’t worry.”
Alan Yue nodded.
In fact, these days, he also doesn’t know how to face the general. He sees everything the general does, but the knowledge in the past, coupled with the fact that he was really humbled to the dust, let him I couldn’t believe the general’s feelings for him, and he didn’t dare to accept it for a while, and he didn’t dare to respond.
Zhao Litang just sat in the carriage, didn’t do anything, didn’t speak, just looked at Alanyue’s profile, very focused.
The carriage staggered all the way to the gate of Weiyang City, but was suddenly stopped when it was interrogated.
Everyone else can leave the city, but Pei Zheng can’t.
The guards didn’t explain the reason, so they took Pei Zheng away.
In fact, Pei Zheng already knew what was going to happen in his heart. After comforting everyone, he went with the guards, and the rest waited in the carriage first.
Pei Zheng was taken to the Northern Territory Palace. Everything was ordered by the Northern Territory Emperor. Although it was stated on the surface that it would not restrict Pei Zheng’s freedom of coming and going, in fact, he was not allowed to leave Weiyang City.
Several people waiting at the gate of the city saw that it was getting dark, but Pei Zheng still hadn’t come back, so he couldn’t help but worry.
Jiang Yubai said, “I’ve been to the Northern Palace, why don’t we go and **** people back?”
Zhao Litang first objected to him, “This is the territory of the Northern Territory, or a heavily guarded capital, it is impossible to rob people, not to mention, I don’t know why the Emperor of the Northern Territory is looking for Pei Zheng, so it is not good to act rashly.”
How could Jiang Yubai not know this truth, he just wanted to tease him when he saw Shen Nineteen’s worried look.
Zhao Litang added, “It shouldn’t be a big deal. If the Emperor of the Northern Territory really wants to be detrimental to Pei Zheng, there will be a chance to start, and he will not be kept until now. This move should be more of a shock and warning.”
Shen Nineteen asked worriedly, “Really? Is brother Pei really going to be alright?”
Zhao Litang nodded, “If Pei Zheng stays in Weiyang City, it will not pose any threat to the Northern Territory, so the Northern Territory Emperor can let him go, but now we have to go back to Changling Country, although the current Changling country is weak. It is impossible to compete with the Northern Territory, but returning tigers to the mountains is always a hidden danger, but if the two countries cooperate, it is another matter.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure walking not far away, it was Pei Zheng who had just returned from the palace.
He walked over to the crowd, carried Li’er and Shen Nineteen into the carriage, and said to others, “Let’s go, get out of the city as soon as possible.”
Several people returned to their carriages, and then drove away from Weiyang City.
The carriage galloped all the way, and the sky became darker as it went, but the few people still did not stop on their way, until the moonlight hung high, and it was some distance away from Weiyang City, and the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down.
We have arrived at a relatively desolate area, there are no people around, and a few people did not walk on the official road, so no one was encountered along the way.
Originally, a few people planned to rest in the wild for a night, but suddenly they saw an inn in the middle of the wilderness, not far away, with faint lights on in the dark night.
Pei Zheng asked Li Yu to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the inn carefully.
“Sir, do you think that there is something wrong with the inn?” Although Li Yu couldn’t say anything, he just had an intuition.
Pei Zheng nodded, “It’s not right.”
Pei Zheng had a vague impression of this place. After he woke up, he seemed to have stayed in an inn on his way to the Northern Territory, but at that time, his memory was chaotic and his body was very weak. I put my life in it, and I can’t remember the rest.
“Then are we…” Li Yu whipped the whip to leave in a carriage.
But he heard Pei Zheng say, “Just stay here.”
The three carriages parked outside the inn one after another. The people inside heard the movement and rushed out to greet them. In such a large inn, there was only one shop owner and one shop assistant.
The two of them didn’t recognize Pei Zhenglai. Pei Zheng at that time was described as embarrassed, which was very different from the appearance and temperament now.
The owner of the store saw that several people came here with outstanding appearance and temperament, and their clothes were also rich and noble.
Unexpectedly, there were still a few passers-by living in the inn. After Pei Zheng and his party checked in, they directly filled the remaining rooms in the inn.
In the evening, several people had dinner together in the hotel lobby.
Jiang Yubai asked Pei Zheng worriedly, “Did the emperor in the Northern Territory make things difficult for you today?”
Pei Zheng replied, “No.”
“That must be threatening you, or it is forcing you to agree to his conditions, or else…”
Pei Zheng gave him a cold look, “Nothing, eat your meal.”
“Why didn’t you let us run away in such a hurry?” Jiang Yubai broke the casserole and asked to the end.
Pei Zheng only replied, “I think for myself.”
In fact, Pei Zheng was also a little worried. He made an agreement with the emperor of the Northern Territory. After returning to Changling Kingdom, he would definitely promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and in some respects, he might be able to help the emperor of the Northern Territory seize power. .
However, it has always been unpredictable, and Pei Zheng is not sure whether he will suddenly change his mind, so it is the safest to leave the city in time, and he has not dared to sway the official road along the way, but he has not found it until now. There are chasing soldiers or assassins planted in secret.
If the Emperor of the Northern Territory wanted to assassinate him, he would definitely not let him run away. He would do it not far from Weiyang City. Now that he has gone so far, it is safe. It can be seen that the Emperor of the Northern Territory has kept his promise. Shouldn’t bother them again.
Pei Zheng didn’t answer Jiang Yubai’s question, he hugged the little baby and asked, “Is Li’er full?”
The little baby wiped her mouth and nodded.
Shen Nineteen had already eaten, so he sat obediently and waited. Pei Zheng took the two upstairs and went back to the room and closed the door.
Jiang Yubai said angrily, “Look at this person, is there anyone who can manage him? Let him be so arrogant all day long!”
The rest of the people watched their eyes, nose, nose and heart, and concentrated on eating their own meals.
In the end, Zhao Litang spoke and told Jiang Yubai the reason for the analysis.
“General Zhao, did Pei Zheng tell you secretly? Did you two collude?”
Zhao Litang shook her head, “No.”
“Then how do you know this?”
Zhao Litang looked calm, “Isn’t the reason obvious?”
Jiang Yubai opened his mouth and smiled stiffly.
I’ll never humiliate myself again.
Absolutely not.
The night was very calm, and the shop owner and the shop assistant did not show any abnormality.
Early the next morning, several people were ready to continue their journey, but they found that it was snowing heavily outside and the roads were blocked. It seemed that they could not continue their journey.
But after going downstairs, they found that the other guests who had lived in the inn had disappeared.
According to the owner of the store, those people ignored the heavy snow outside and blocked the road, and they had to leave, but they couldn’t stop it.
Seeing the heavy snow, Shen Jiu Jiu and Li Er wanted to go out to play, and Pei Zheng agreed. When he took the two out, he told Cheng Feng in a low voice, and then Cheng Feng led him away.
After the rest of the people got up, they also went to the snow outside to play for a while.
After returning to the inn again, Chengfeng just came back and told Pei Zheng what he had discovered.
Those few guests probably didn’t leave the inn, because Cheng Feng chased the left footprints to check, and the footprints disappeared on a hill not far from the inn.
Chengfeng found a large piece of snow that had been turned over at the foot of the mountain. He only flicked the sword twice and saw the blood-stained snow below. There might be something buried under the ground.
Hearing this, Pei Zheng’s eyes darkened.
In the blink of an eye, in the dead of night, there was a noise from the downstairs of the inn. Footsteps sounded constantly, as if there were many people, and the vibration spread along the wooden frame of the inn.
The owner of the inn lit a candlestick, which illuminated the faces of the people around him. They were all ferocious robbers. This inn was basically a black shop, specializing in killing people and stealing goods.
The tourists who come and go to the hotel are all coming and going.
After receiving this group of people yesterday, the owner of the shop concluded that they are all fat sheep, and like the children of rich families, they usually have embroidered pillows, and they are also a man in black who always carries a sword. It looks like a guard, but they have so many people, it is not difficult to deal with him if necessary.
“Boss, we just came in with such a big movement, won’t we wake them up?”
The shop owner sneered, “Relax, no matter how loud they are, they won’t wake up. I’ve prepared a lot of food for tonight’s meal, so they won’t be able to hear it if the sky falls!”
The robbers all laughed, took out their swords, and went upstairs.
Several robbers surrounded the door of several rooms. They winked at each other, kicked the door open together, and broke into the house separately.
Unexpectedly, there is no idea what medicinal powder is hidden behind each door. Once the door is opened, it is scattered all over the sky, and all the robbers unconsciously inhaled a lot of medicinal powder.
After a while, the room became chaotic. The robber who originally came to kill, for some reason, began to kill each other. The knife fell. The tragic, one after another mourning sound resounded throughout the inn.
On the carriage outside the inn, several heads were exposed, just enough to see the situation inside the inn, but unfortunately it was too dark to see any good show.
