The undercover agent sent by the imperial court

Chapter 168

The journey to leave Najamu was much longer than expected. After all, Ling Xuan didn't remember how he arrived at Najamu's capital, so naturally he didn't know how far it would be to reach the capital from Najamu.

The dark guard prepared a carriage to take Ling Xuan away from Najamu to the capital. Before parting, Ling Xuan received a lot of gifts. Although the contents were strange, Ling Xuan still took them all away.

Not long after he set off on the road, Ling Xuan probably understood a little bit. He had been walking for three days, but he hadn't even gone halfway to Nazamu. Although it had a lot to do with riding a carriage, it was too slow.

The most important thing is that although the carriage is fairly stable, it is still a bit far-fetched to say that drawing in the carriage is a bit far-fetched. Ling Xuan wants to draw, but he can stabilize his hand shaking, what should he do if the table is shaking? The importance of gifts.

When the weather was getting colder, Ling Xuan realized that while thickening his clothes, he had already read the book when he arrived in Bocheng. When the dark guard suddenly reminded him, Ling Xuan suddenly realized, "It's already here."

If so, there is one thing to do.

"Let's go, go see someone." Ling Xuan turned over and got out of the carriage and said.

"Do you mean the Lord's Mansion?" Yin Tianming jumped down with Ling Xuan and asked, and then looked at Shao Ziqian, who didn't respond to the name of the Lord's Mansion.

"En." Ling Xuan looked in the direction, "How did you get there?"

"This way." Yin Tianming stepped forward to lead the way, it would be best to keep this guy here.

Compared with the snow in Bocheng before leaving, it is quite thick, and it is quite the scenery of the northern country. It is obvious that Nazamu is still in the season of spring flowers, which is really amazing. People on the road are wearing thick cotton-padded clothes or furs. The snow on the road has been swept to the side of the street, and there are children who have had snowball fights or piled up snowmen at the door. Ling Xuan occasionally feels the softness of the snow when walking on the road.

However, the leader's mansion looked the same as it did before he left. It was still uninhabited and uncleaned, and even the handle on the door was a little rusty. Ling Xuan raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the door under his hands slammed open. Open, it seems that it is not locked.

Although it looks familiar, Shao Ziqian didn't think of anything, just followed Ling Xuan into this seemingly uninhabited house. After entering, the scenery was completely different from the entrance, the roads and houses were cleaned, only the silence was the same as the entrance of.

When Qiangwei arrived in the front hall, she saw Shao Ziqian standing behind Ling Xuan. He was not as gentle and generous as before, but a few strands of his hair were tied up behind his head, his eyes were deeper than before, and he seemed to be indifferent to life and death. The attitude made Qiangwei stand in front of her and dare not make a sound.

Ling Xuan pointed to Qiangwei, "Do you know who she is?"

Shao Ziqian looked at Qiangwei when he heard Ling Xuan's question, then shook his head honestly, Qiangwei couldn't help but shouted, "Leader!"

Shao Ziqian didn't respond, Ling Xuan looked at Yin Tianming, and Yin Tianming was also at a loss, "It seems that I don't remember, so forget it, this king will go back to the capital first."

Qiangwei settled down slightly and bowed to Ling Xuan, "Thank you Mr. Ling for bringing the lord back, the lord's mansion..."

"You're welcome." Ling Xuan waved his hands casually, and looked at Qiangwei sympathetically, "Then I will leave first."

Shao Ziqian followed Ling Xuan naturally, but was stopped by Qiangwei, "Leader..." Then he remembered that Shao Ziqian no longer remembered, so he changed his words, "Young Master Shao, please stay."

Shao Ziqian turned his head to look at Qiangwei and then at Ling Xuan, the sleeve in Qiangwei's hand disappeared, and Shao Ziqian continued to follow behind Ling Xuan unchanged.

Ling Xuan looked helplessly at Shao Ziqian, "As you can see, I actually brought him here just to say that Shao Ziqian and Ouyang Wangu died together. I don't think this person is Shao Ziqian, but I don't think you will believe it, so I let you meet him." he."

Qiangwei opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer, but Ling Xuan didn't want to help her. After all, the relationship with the leader's mansion can only be said to be so-so, and they only cooperated once because of the same purpose.

Ling Xuan patted Shao Ziqian's head, "Okay, just come with me."

Shao Ziqian's expressionless face smiled after this sentence, Yin Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "Fool."

Shao Ziqian didn't care about Yin Tianming's words at all. Shao Ziqian was not very comfortable in this house since he came in. Now he can finally leave. Although he doesn't understand, he is very happy to be able to walk with Ling Xuan.

"Call me the prince later, do you know?" Ling Xuan asked as he got into the car.

"I see." Shao Ziqian nodded to express his understanding.

Before arriving in the capital, Yin Tianming left, Ling Xuan sat in the car and closed the book to look at Yin Tianming, "After this, I don't know when we will meet again, take care."

"It's okay, I'll come to you soon after I've dealt with it." Yin Tianming said with a smile after hearing this.

"No rush, just take your time." Ling Xuan said sincerely.

Yin Tianming nodded in agreement, "I understand, you don't have to worry about my speed."

"I'm not in a hurry." Ling Xuan waved his hand and left before Yin Tianming finished speaking. Seeing the other party's disappearing figure, Ling Xuan sighed, "Too much charm is not bad."

"The prince's charm is unstoppable." Shao Ziqian said seriously. He didn't know what books he had read recently, and he was becoming more and more ashamed when he spoke.

Ling Xuan gave Shao Ziqian a pat on the head as usual, "Stop reading those messy books and read more Mandarin."

Shao Ziqian rubbed his head, "I see."

Ling Xuan looked out of the car again, and it was only a few days away from the capital. Ling Xuan stretched his waist and lay down, "The bones in the car are sore, give me a massage."

Shao Ziqian immediately picked up the acupuncture massage and began to massage Ling Xuan's shoulders and back.

In such a depraved life, Ling Xuan finally arrived at the capital city. A carriage quietly entered the bustling city of the capital amidst the bustling city. Outside the outer city were villages and neat fields. The land of the officials here was also covered with snow this time.

All the snow in the capital has been cleaned up. There are almost no large areas of snow on the main roads. If there is ice, someone will consciously shovel the ice. This year, winter is a bit late and it is not very cold.

The carriage drove all the way to the inner city and stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. After showing the token, Ling Xuan slowly entered the palace. Ling Xuan remembered something and said to Shao Ziqian, "I will see a man in yellow clothes later. It's my brother. Remember to kneel down. I don’t need to teach you this.”

"I understand." Shao Ziqian nodded seriously.

As soon as Ling Xuan stepped into the palace, he was embraced by a figure. His eyes blurred, and Ling Xuan was slow to realize that it was Huangpuwen, and then he hugged Huangpuwen in a rare way, "Brother."

Since I was 16 years old, I haven't seen such an imperial brother again. Ling Xuan felt a little emotional, and said hello to the few people sitting in the hall, "Long time no see, everyone."

The prime minister shook his head amusedly, "I won't bother you brothers." As he spoke, he stood up, and Chu Ziyan stood up, nodded to Ling Xuan, and left with the prime minister.

Huangpu Wen let go of Ling Xuan, "Don't let me worry all day long."

"Haha, is there?" Ling Xuan laughed a few times and said, then pointed to Shao Ziqian who was kneeling beside him, "This is Shao Ziqian."

Then he said to Shao Ziqian, "Get up, go to the manager next door and ask him to take you to my house and stay there first."

Although the emperor hadn't spoken yet, Shao Ziqian stood up and patted his clothes to find the manager Ling Xuan said. Huang Puwen frowned, "Why is this guy still here?"

"It's okay." Ling Xuan waved his hand, "Shao Ziqian is dead, so it's okay to keep him."

"Since you've already made a decision, I won't interfere." Huang Puwen dragged Ling Xuan into the hall without further ado.

Shao Ziqian walked for a long time but did not find the manager. After asking a court lady, he learned that the other party was in the Shang Study Room and found the Shang Study Room all the way again.

Chu Yuan appeared in the Shang Study Room today because he had to report. When Shao Ziqian came over, he didn’t see the manager, but he saw Chu Yuan first. Shao Ziqian naturally didn’t know Chu Yuan, but he went directly to ask Chu Yuan without seeing anyone else. "Where is the master?"

Chu Yuan looked at this strange figure and frowned, "Who are you, why are you walking around in the palace?"

"My lord asked me to come and find the manager." Shao Ziqian explained his purpose without knowing his identity, "Where is he?"

"Prince Yu?" Chu Yuan asked in a daze for a moment, then shook his head, "Who else could there be except Prince Yu?" His words changed from silent to gentle.

"The manager is busy with something, just tell me if you have anything to do." Chu Yuan said with a slight smile.

Shao Ziqian was also surprised when he saw Chu Yuan who changed his face so quickly, "The lord wants him to take me to the lord's mansion to stay first."

"I understand, the prince's mansion is not far from here, let me take you there." Chu Yuan got up and said.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Shao Ziqian said without any sign of gratitude, and followed this strange person through the palace.

As Chu Yuan said, the prince’s mansion is within the palace but not far away is just for the entire palace. Chu Yuan doesn’t know martial arts and doesn’t walk fast, and it’s just walking. In this winter, Chu Yuan It's already a little hot, and it can be said that not only does he have no martial arts, but his physical strength is also very poor.

Shao Ziqian didn't have any thoughts, and he didn't complain about Chu Yuan's slow speed, he just quietly walked to the prince's mansion with Chu Yuan, "There is still a short distance to go." Chu Yuan stopped suddenly and said.

"En." Shao Ziqian responded to Chu Yuan who looked at him and asked, "Are you tired from walking?"

"A little bit." Chu Yuan pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go ahead by yourself, I won't go, I have to go back to work."

Shao Ziqian nodded. Within a few steps, he arrived at the prince's mansion that Chu Yuan said. It stood magnificently in the palace. It was originally the place where the prince lived. Because of Ling Xuan's expansion, it was rebuilt as Ling Xuan's mansion.

Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses, "So you know martial arts, are you from the Jianghu?"

Chu Yuan, who successfully guessed correctly, thought about it. Ling Xuan should be in the main hall, but with so many things happening, the emperor will not deal with political affairs any more. Let’s go back to the mansion, and we will meet when Ling Xuan is free. .

Chu Yuan dragged his own slow pace and turned around towards the Meridian Gate. Chu Ziyan in the main hall probably knew about it, but it was better to expect more people like just now than to expect this guy to give him information.

Chu Yuan, who walked slowly outside the door, did not see the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he had already left. With the help of his servants, Chu Yuan slowly got into the carriage, "Let's go back."

"Yes." The coachman replied, whipped his whip at the horse, and the carriage slowly left.

"It's been a long time since Brother Huang lost his composure." When Shao Ziqian set out to find someone, Ling Xuan looked at Brother Huang with a smile.

"It's been a long time since you called my brother." Huang Puwen rubbed the top of Ling Xuan's head, and Ling Xuan was slightly embarrassed. This action was similar to what he usually did to Shao Ziqian.

"What happened recently?" Ling Xuan sat next to Huangpu Wen and looked at the paperwork on the table, "I must have piled up a lot of paperwork for the emperor, especially in winter."

"Fortunately, I called the prime minister out." Huang Puwen said casually.

No wonder seeing the prime minister here just now, Ling Xuan was thoughtful, "It's really rare to let an old man come out to work."

"Otherwise, how could such a thing happen if it wasn't for someone who involved himself in it." Huang Puwen sighed helplessly, "You don't have to rely on me when it's critical."

Ling Xuan blinked and nodded to his swollen brother, "Yes, yes, it all depends on Brother Huang."

"Let's take it easy when we come back this time." Huang Puwen patted Ling Xuan and said, "What happened to the marriage that I heard before?"

"It's nothing, it's just what the emperor heard." Ling Xuan leaned back on the chair without any image and said, "The girl from Zamu is very cheerful."

Huang Puwen hesitated and asked, "Do you like that princess?"

"The thirteenth princess is okay, and the tenth princess is fine." Ling Xuan refused when he thought of dancing in public, "Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"You have grown up too." Huang Puwen looked at the hall and said, "Is there no one you like?"

"There is no way to force this kind of thing." Ling Xuan was ashamed, "I have traveled to so many places and met all kinds of people, and I have also met places I like very much, but in the end I still have to go back to the capital. It’s all impossible.”

"You are my younger brother." Huang Puwen rubbed Ling Xuan's head, "Even if you don't go back to the capital, just do what you want to do."

What this means is that Ling Xuan opened his eyes wide, "Will you ignore me from now on?"

"I shouldn't have bothered with you for a long time." Huang Puwen sighed slightly, "But I still can't let you go, but you are already twenty, and you can determine your own life."

"This is really true." Ling Xuan sighed, "Freedom came so suddenly."

"But you still have to finish this new year." Huang Puwen added.

"I know, I will have a good year!" Ling Xuan raised his hand and said solemnly.

The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord is back this time, and my old bones can finally take a rest."

Chu Ziyan glanced at his father and said, "It seems that the New Year will be very lively when the prince comes back from this trip."
