Chapter 1 Reluctance to return to Beijing
The troubles in Hongdu Prefecture City have not yet ended yet, but for Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, there is no value to continue to stay. The government, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Liushemen. Many people in the many yamen can do the final work without them.
However, Zhu Jinxuan still had a great regret in her heart, that is, she failed to continue to investigate Ning Wang.
After abandoning the initial disbelief and being convinced by the evidence, her attitude towards King Ning took a 180-degree change, believing that since King Ning was involved, she must have done a lot of plans, so she wanted to further investigate King Ning.
But in the end, he was convinced by Bai Shier and gave up this idea.
Bai Shier's reason for convincing her was very simple.
These evidences are not enough to defeat King Ning. Ji Tian in Tianyan Sect has been destroyed, and no one seems to know that King Ning is behind the scenes. None of the evidence found from Zhongji Tian's nest points to King Ning.
As for Wang Tianyu, the guard commander of the Ning Wang Mansion who was kidnapped by him, he was just a servant and was suspected of "being the superior". It was impossible for Wang Tianyu to admit defeat with his personal certificate.
King Ning had too many ways to lie, and even turned around and made a comeback.
After all, for some almost well-known reasons, when facing King Ning, the emperor now always naturally has to be half as psychologically as he is to face King Ning. It would be impossible to defeat King Ning without obtaining conclusive evidence. The best result is nothing more than proving that King Ning was indeed involved in this matter and was then fined and deprived of hundreds of households.
Lifting up high and falling down gently, you can't even hurt your muscles and bones, so why should you waste your time in Hongdu City?
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes are firmly nailed to this matter, and have no time to notice the favorable conditions of their movements and leave quickly.
However, on the merchant ship heading to Yingtian, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan had quite a difference about the next destination.
Bai Shier wanted to "fulfil his promise", so he went to the capital to meet the emperor's brother-in-law, and by the way he told him about King Ning, so that his brother-in-law could have a clear idea.
Of course, as for letting my brother-in-law beware of King Ning, he should not be reminded. From the day when Emperor Taizong drove the other King Ning and his group directly to Hongdu Prefecture from outside the pass, no matter who was on the throne, he should not treat King Ning as an ordinary prince, and he did not need to remind him as an "outsider".
Zhu Jinxuan naturally didn't want to return to the capital, and she didn't want to meet her emperor brother. Although she had been away from home for so long, she really missed her emperor brother, her sister-in-law, her nephew, and niece.
After all, she finally escaped from the palace and the capital after all. How could she be willing to go back like a trap?
Even Bai Shier confidently assured her that she would definitely be able to bring her out after going to the capital this time, and there was no need to worry that her emperor brother would keep her and continue to be locked in the big cage in the palace.
She did believe in Bai Shier very much and also recognized Bai Shier's ability very much, but she knew better how huge her brother, as the emperor, could mobilize, especially in the capital. It was a dream to just want to fight against such a huge power by the two of them alone.
Therefore, in the face of Bai Shier's suggestion to go north to Beijing, she undoubtedly resolutely negated it.
The destination she chose was never mentioned by Bai Shier, his hometown.
In fact, many times, when Zhu Jinxuan calmed down and began to think, she felt that she still had a sense of strangeness to Bai Shier. Even when he was lying beside her, she still felt that she was a little far away from the real Bai Shier.
Her own identity, origin, and everything about her are not secrets in Bai Shier's eyes.
On the contrary, what she could understand about Bai Shier was that except for his superb swordsmanship and good light skills, there seemed to be nothing else. She even didn't dare to confirm whether Bai Shier's name was his real name.
After all, the three words "Bai Shier" don't sound like a normal name.
Even the villagers in the countryside who don’t even recognize one of them will ask the literate Tongsheng, the scholar to give his children a name, let alone teach Bai Shier, a young talented elder who is enough to attract her?
Therefore, Zhu Jinxuan felt that Bai Shier was just a pseudonym, just like the pseudonym like "Bai Changsheng" that Bai Shier had used before.
Therefore, when things have almost come to an end, Zhu Jinxuan can no longer curse her curiosity about the many questions that have been shrouded in Bai Shier. She wanted Bai Shier to take her back to her hometown to meet his family, learn more about Bai Shier's secrets, and then return to the capital according to the situation. Then, "the rice is cooked and cooked." She felt that no matter how angry and dissatisfied her, she should forgive her in the end.
Facing Zhu Jinxuan's request, Bai Shier did not have much objection, but he set a prerequisite, that is, to go to the capital to meet the emperor first, and then take Zhu Jinxuan back to his hometown and tell her all his secrets.
Both of them took the other's purpose as a prerequisite for their own purpose, which seemed to have become a vicious cycle.
Unless one of them chooses to "surrender" first and makes concessions.
But Bai Shier's attitude was firm, and Zhu Jinxuan felt that she had made too many concessions before. This time, Bai Shier should make concessions, and his attitude was also firm. Therefore, neither side could persuade anyone, and he was in a stalemate to Yingtian City.
After entering Yingtian City, the two of them learned about the things that had happened before.
When he learned that Zhongjitian had been completely wiped out and the backbone force only ran out one Kang Jinlong, even Bai Shier was a little shocked.
Obviously, he had fought fiercely with Qinglong and Dongjitian before, but he could not understand why Qinglong, who had been resilient and failed several times before, was able to escape safely. How could Qinglong, who suddenly had "IQ offline" and then "delivered to the door" to death, and then was beaten up in one fell swoop.
After carefully understanding it, Bai Shier then understood the whole story.
And he could only sigh with emotion, "You can't live if you commit sins."
However, when he got Qinglong's autopsy information from Liusanmen, he couldn't help but feel dazed again.
As the venerable of the Tianyan Gate Dongjitian, Qinglong, who is extremely respected in the Tianyan Gate, turned out to be a eunuch.
However, when he thought of Prince Ning's Mansion, he felt relieved soon.
Obviously, Qinglong should be an eunuch from the Ning Prince's Mansion. Similarly, other venerables of Tianyan Sect should also have similar identities. This should be the chess piece set up by the Ning Prince's Mansion for its effect in order to better control the Tianyan Sect.
Unfortunately, King Ning probably never expected that he would only control the five lords of Tianyan Sect and would never let his identity be known to others in Tianyan Sect. Although it did greatly protect his own safety, it also made it difficult for these lords to have problems with these lords, the control of Tianyan Sect immediately became like a kite with a broken string, making it difficult for him to control it.
Otherwise, if you know that King Ning is the real master behind the Tianyan Sect, you are afraid that those who are opposed to Qinglong or even directly face each other, such as Kang Jinlong and others, you will not dare to have these thoughts in your heart.
However, although these news were shocking to Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, they were all old news that had been over half a month and had long been transformed into past tense. Apart from making them feel a lot of emotion, they had no other effect.
After all, Qinglong, the only one who might know the relationship between King Ning and Tianyan Sect, had already committed suicide. Just like the Huanglong, who also disappeared in Hongdu Prefecture, left no evidence to prove King Ning.
...
The news about Qinglong and Dongjitian did not ease the dispute between Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan. The two still "have their own opinions" and neither of them would bow their heads.
But soon, when the captains who were sent to Hongdu Prefecture by Hou Qing and entrusted by Huang Xiangfu, the commander who fought side by side with him sent the news about the Beijitian to Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan, the dispute between them soon disappeared.
Of course, to be more precise, Zhu Jinxuan was worried about the safety of her emperor brother, so she didn't care about thinking too much. She just wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible and captured the Tianyan Gate Beiji Tian hidden in the capital.
Although Bai Shier knew in his heart that the strength of the mere Tianyan Gate Beijitian could not pose any threat to the emperor, he would not mention that Zhu Jinxuan's decision was "benefit" to him. Just to make Zhu Jinxuan feel relieved, he would not be able to stop Zhu Jinxuan from returning to the capital to "protect" his brother's safety.
So, the situation where no one could convince anyone was in an instant became "harmonious". The two men who had been in Yingtian City had already set off immediately and headed straight for the capital.
It was not too hard for the two to take a boat along the canal, but Zhu Jinxuan felt a little uneasy all the way because of her anxiety and excessive worry.
Bai Shier could only comfort her in every way. Her emperor brother was in the palace, with many guards and several city gates. She was very safe, so she really didn't have to worry so much.
But Zhu Jinxuan revealed to him a little shocked.
Although the emperor now seems to be an emperor who can humbly accept advice and not be troubled, in fact, in private, he likes to sneak out of the palace and wander around the city to see the fireworks on earth.
According to his own words, it is to look at the lives of the people under his rule to make oneself more motivated when governing the country.
After all, it is too boring to review dry question books every day. He is afraid that he will gradually lose the sincerity of hard work and hard work like his father in the long and boring life.
Seeing that his persuasion did not have any effect except for a secret about his emperor's brother-in-law, Bai Shier was also helpless, and he really didn't know how to persuade him.
I can only chat with her every day to distract her as much as possible.
As for not taking a boat, after getting ashore, ride a fast horse and gallop straight to the capital, greatly reducing the time.
It's very good, but it's a pity that neither he nor Zhu Jinxuan had ever ridden a horse before, let alone riding a horse at full speed.
Needless to say, Zhu Jinxuan, how could a dignified princess from the royal family have the opportunity to learn horse riding?
She is not the princesses in the Han and Tang dynasties who can "do whatever they want".
As for Bai Shier, there is no chance.
The people in the south ride the boat, while the people in the north ride the horse.
Even if Bai Shier, who was born in the south, wanted to learn horse riding, he would not have the chance at all.
Of course, he is not very good at sailing.
After all, for Bai Shier, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, needs to read and recognize words, and likes to listen to stories in his spare time, he does not have enough time to sleep every day, so there is no extra time to learn to ride a boat.
Moreover, for Bai Shier, if he was in a hurry to travel, one pair of feet was actually enough.
His light skills are not only used for tracking.
But this time, he felt that Zhu Jinxuan was a little bit of a big deal and was too nervous. They didn't have to worry at all. They worked hard to rush back to the capital, so he pretended to have forgotten this and chose to take a boat to rush.
...
When Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were sitting on the boat at the same time, and were rushing towards the capital in a very different mood, they finally began to feel the fluctuations coming from Hongdu Prefecture in the capital.
The first person to feel the atmosphere of storm was not the court that sent the news to the capital, but the Beiji Tiantian of Tianyan Gate. To be more detailed, it was the Xuanwu who was scolded by King Ning as an old turtle.
After all, compared to Huang Xiangfu and others who had not known the news and had just started to send the news to the capital after receiving the news in a hurry, Xuanwu's spies who were prepared for it, after their leader Triangle Eye went to the Ning Palace and left forever, they immediately realized that something was wrong, and then immediately evacuated according to the original plan. At the same time, the news was also urgently transmitted back to the city to inform Xuanwu.
Therefore, Xuanwu received the message about one day in advance.
...
As the first and only "second generation" lord in the Tianyan Sect's four-way division, Xuanwu should be younger than Qinglong and others. But like Qinglong, he has always been hiding his true appearance under a mask, and it is difficult to know his true age.
However, after taking over the Tianyan Gate Beijitian for more than ten years, he has no say about his control over Beijitian. At least, there will never be any situation like Dongjitian under his command.
Because in the past ten years, he had already replaced his star masters, and all the seven star masters were his confidants.
Moreover, he started a new business outside the Arctic a few years ago and established an organization called Diting, allowing both parties to monitor each other, so he didn't have to worry about his subordinates betray him.
