Star Trace Gate

The next day, outside the Lich City, twenty miles along the official road.

Hundreds of experts from the Southern Xinjiang Golden Scale Guards are currently escorting five prisoner vans all the way to the northeast.

Ren Ye, Ai Fei, Xu Bangzi, Li Yan, Feng Lin and others were imprisoned in the prison car. They were all wearing gray prison uniforms and shackles, and looked very embarrassed.

Emperor Wanwu issued an edict that all the top management of the park would be wiped out and exiled to the realm of the Styx.

Serving the sentence early means being released early, and also avoiding "traffic jams". Therefore, as soon as the sky was bright, King Huai and others were taken out of prison by the Golden Scale Owl Guards and set off on their journey.

However, even so, it still attracted countless onlookers along the way. After all, the imperial edict was to be announced to the world and posted on the city gate tower.

All the men, young and old, from the capital came, and they were all very polite and courteous to see King Huai off. They threw cabbage stalks, rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, etc. into the prison van as if they were free.

At the very least, the car would be half full before leaving.

In the first prison car, the beloved concubine was neither aloof nor dignified at this moment. She just hid in the corner like a kitten, with her little feet turned inwards, toes facing each other, and her legs tightly pressed together, trying to curl up her body as much as possible.

She raised the wooden shackles on her hands high above her head to protect her black hair and cover her face. This was her last act of stubbornness... But even so, there were still two green leaves hanging on her little head.

"Zhu Zigui... I want to go home...!" The beloved concubine pouted her lips rarely and muttered aggrievedly.

At the front, Ren Ye stood facing the wind, his back straight, and from time to time he cursed at the people on both sides, and nodded slightly: "Since ancient times, the wives of emperors have had to bear the weight of mountains and rivers, and the pressure of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. Your mentality is still not good, you need to practice."

"roll!"

There is only one word for love, and there is only one word for beloved.

In the prisoner car at the back, Xu Bangzi rested his head on his head and shook his head and sighed, "I've heard of people eating the last meal before execution, but I've never heard of people being fucked before execution. That day was the last madness. I'm the number one assassin in Qijia Town. I've endured humiliation for half my life, but just when I opened my eyes to the world of pleasure, I'm going to be exiled as a slave... Alas, Master Wang, wait for me. In a few days, I'll go down to see you in person with money."

Beside him, the feminine boy Ding Jun secretly sent a message to Li Yan: "Master, some of the escort team will definitely turn back halfway. We can escape from prison."

"What the hell, hold your tongue." Li Yan responded, "Southern Xinjiang is a big star gate. I might run into a traveling player who is familiar with the Fraud Chamber of Commerce. If this gets back, won't I become a joke? I've already covered my face, so the four of you should cover yours too...!"

"it is good."

Everyone was in a low mood, except for Taoist Fenglin who said to Xu Bangzi, "Don't have any thoughts of committing suicide. It's a good thing that you're out... You can still have sex in the future, don't worry."

"Really?" Xu Bangzi's eyes lit up.

"Have I ever made a mistake?" Fenglin was still trying to force himself on Wang even though he was in the prison van.

"It's stable." Xu Bangzi looked at him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Tap!"

Just then, the sound of horse hooves rang out from the front.

A group of officers and soldiers on horseback shouted, "The princess' carriage is passing by here, get out of the way."

The shouts echoed throughout the long street, and the people around who had been greeting Ren Ye all stepped back far away and knelt down to welcome him.

"Shut up, shut up!"

Two more rows of soldiers rushed towards them, standing on both sides of the long street to block the crowd.

At the front of the prisoner convoy, a Golden Scale Owl Guard who was ranked as a centurion immediately waved his hand to signal the convoy to pull over.

The coachman did not dare to delay, and immediately pulled the prison carriage into the fork in the road, tied up the horses, and knelt down to welcome the emperor.

In just a moment, the long street was silent and thousands of people were kneeling on the ground.

Ren also stood in the prison car, looking curiously at the long street. After waiting for a long time, he saw the eldest princess's carriage slowly passing by.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or fate.

When the luxurious carriage that the eldest princess was riding in passed in front of the prison car, an autumn breeze blew by, and a corner of the carriage's curtain was blown open.

Ren also stared intently and saw a woman with a very beautiful face in the car, who happened to look in his direction.

The two looked at each other briefly, and Ren also vaguely saw that she seemed to have a very naughty smile...

The wind blows, the curtains fall, and everything returns to calm.

The queue of bicycle frames was very long, and the distances between the front, middle and rear queues were also very large, so it took a full quarter of an hour before we were completely through.

The leading centurion stood up and waved his hand, saying, "Keep going."

Ren also lowered his head and asked him, "Hey, brother. Is the red carriage that just passed by the eldest princess riding in it?"

The centurion glanced at him and said, "Yes."

"My prince is a little curious." Ren Ye asked again: "The grand carriage of the princess is as grand as that of the prince. Isn't this considered an usurpation of power?"

"Although His Majesty has many children, the most favored one besides the Second Prince is the eldest princess." The captain replied in a voice transmission: "The specifications of Princess Jun'an's carriage were granted by His Majesty, how could it be an act of usurpation?"

"Oh." Ren nodded and didn't say anything more.

……

in the afternoon.

The prison van convoy finally arrived at a deserted area, which was some distance away from Zhangzhou.

The convoy took a short break, and Ren Ye and others ate dry food in the car.

"Tap!"

At this moment, two horses came from the south and appeared in the dense forest at a very fast speed.

The captain stood up, looked from a distance, and said with a smile: "Oh, His Highness is finally here."

Upon hearing this, Ren Ye also stood up and looked forward.

In the dense forest, two horses were carrying a fat man and a sturdy middle-aged man respectively.

"Shit, it's finally here." Ren Ye slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shut up!"

The horse came to the front of the convoy. The fat man pulled the reins and called out softly.

"Hurrah!"

All the hundred Golden Scale Owl Guards stood up, knelt on one knee and called out, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

"Get up, get up, be outside, and keep a low profile."

The visitor was none other than the fat dragon that had not been seen since behind the Taiji Hall.

He jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the middle-aged man, walked to the front of the prisoner's car, and said sarcastically: "Oh, brother Huai Wang! I never thought that you would still have pancakes to eat at this moment."

Ren also rolled his eyes: "Just now, many people threw rotten eggs at my beloved concubine. In my rage, I tore the Earth Dragon Liujia apart...!"

The fat dragon smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back then."

"Go back and tell the emperor to let him hatch the white python eggs himself." Ren Ye replied indifferently.

"......!" The fat dragon paused for a moment and said helplessly: "Look, you are angry again."

"Can't I be angry? What did you say before you came? Ah, I'll treat you like a distinguished guest and introduce you to my dad. He's awesome, the leader of Southern Xinjiang, and his word is final." Ren Ye stretched his neck and said, "...What's the reality? The third prince went crazy and almost took us all away!"

Although Big Fat Dragon didn't understand his specific words, he could roughly understand the meaning: "...There are too many ministers speaking in Taiji Palace. If I jump out to support you, the mad dog-like Third Brother will definitely bite me. He will definitely say that all your actions were secretly instructed by me, and that I intend to cultivate my own power in the border areas."

"You can't fight a madman. Even if you win, you'll get yourself into trouble."

"...Don't explain. I will definitely not be a knife anymore." Ren also imitated the tone of his beloved concubine: "I want to go home and find my mother."

"Ugh."

The fat dragon sighed and said, "Holy Decree."

"Hurrah!"

Hundreds of Xiaowei, upon hearing these two words, all knelt on the ground and said, "Long live our emperor!"

Ren Ye stood in the prison van and just rolled his eyes without responding.

“Although Prince Huai is suspected of annexing our southern border territory, I consider that you are the heir of the emperor, inheriting the destiny of heaven and earth, and have the destiny to save the people from disasters and misfortunes, so I hereby give you another chance to clear your name.

I have entrusted Prince Huai to secretly investigate the border turmoil case, obtain solid evidence and find out the facts.

After the deal is done, the benefits will be shared equally.

At the same time, I have appointed Prince Ren as the imperial envoy to assist in investigating this case.

Admire this. "

After listening to this, Ren Ye was stunned for a moment, and his expression eased a little.

The wording of this imperial edict is already very polite, and has a bit of coaxing meaning. It uses words like entrustment, proving one's innocence, etc., and does not have the intention of being domineering.

The most important thing is that Big Fat Dragon was also appointed as an imperial envoy to investigate the case thoroughly.

"Father, there is nothing you can do. With so many ministers admonishing you, you can only break the situation by sneaking through Chencang." The fat dragon advised, "Besides, my amulet...is here too, isn't it?"

"When it comes to the critical moment, you shrink back. What's the use of this amulet?" Ren Ye asked back.

"The trip to Zhangzhou is full of dangers. Even if I'm not doing this for you, I have to do this for myself, right?" The fat dragon said softly, "Don't be so arrogant... or I'll really leave."

"Did I really tear apart the Earth Dragon's Six Armors?" Ren Ye faced the tough challenge head-on.

"...Give me a piece of pancake." The fat dragon gritted his teeth and changed the subject.

"Haha. Except for your third brother, who makes me a little afraid. As for the rest, I am a barefoot man and I will not submit to anyone." Ren Ye replied viciously.

"Yes, yes." The fat dragon nodded.

Ren also squatted in the prison van and thought for a while: "How do we check?"

Big Fat Dragon actually took a pancake from Ren Ye and frowned, saying, "Yin Guang is in Zhangzhou. He has found out the whereabouts of Guan Feng and the others. We have to rush over overnight."

"Where's the prison van team?"

"Find a few people, put on makeup to look like you, and cover them with black cloth to confuse people." The fat dragon replied, "After we finish eating, we will leave."

Ren Ye looked at him: "Since leaving Kyoto, I have had a question."

"You say." The fat dragon replied.

"Look." Ren also blinked his eyes. "Among the three princes who can inherit the throne, the third one is a lunatic, and after talking to me, I think he is unlikely. What about you... you are the most likely to inherit the throne, so naturally it is impossible. Then tell me... who is left?"
