At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 452 Return to the Capital

Chapter 452 Return to the Capital
Su Linglong felt a sense of pride in her heart, and only a man like this was worthy of her.

After breakfast, Hu Chi felt a little bored, so Su Linglong asked two people to accompany him around Wu Di City.

"Your Highness."

"Let's go to the hot springs."

Su Linglong licked her lips, her eyes were watery.

"Cough cough cough."

"it is good."

How could Xiao Han not know what this girl was thinking? She must want to practice martial arts secretly and naturally enjoy it.

On the third day, they stayed together day and night.

Morning of the fourth day.

He got on the carriage and slowly headed west with Hu Chi.

When he came here, he walked along the road to Liang Liao. When he went back, Xiao Han planned to go through the capital, then go to Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and enter Xiliang from Qingyou Pass.

Logically speaking, given the current situation between Xiliang and the imperial court, although they have not yet torn their faces apart, a real war has begun.

But the intrigues and scheming behind the scenes have never stopped. You trip me up and I dig a hole for you.

As the King of Xiliang and the backbone of Xiliang, according to common sense, he should not appear in the capital at such a critical juncture.

If there is the slightest mistake, the good situation that Xiliang has built up over the past decade will collapse in an instant.

However, Xiao Han was confident that he could go anywhere in the world, even to Tianmen, and come and go freely, not to mention the capital.

Even within the capital, there is still an extremely terrifying monster.

but.

His trip.

Just to find out the details of that old monster.

The last time I came to the capital, or to be more precise, when I was conferred the title of marquis, has been many years.

The carriage left Wudi City and turned onto the flat official road. At dawn, the fiery red sun slowly rose from the sea level.

The sparkling sunlight shines on the sea, and the light ripples with the rise and fall of the waves. The morning breeze echoes, carrying extremely humid water vapor, making the grass and trees rustle.

Birds and cranes were singing, and two strong horses were pulling the carriage, so the speed was not slow.

In front of the city gate.

Su Linglong, dressed in a white dress, looked into the distance, watching the carriage go farther and farther away, until finally, it completely disappeared.

"Congratulations, young lady. When His Highness returns, he will definitely not treat you unfairly."

The personal maid beside her said excitedly: "Even the Su family will prosper because of the young lady."

"What are you thinking?"

Su Linglong glared at her and said unhappily, "You can only say this today. If I hear you again, I will cut off your tongue."

He retracted his gaze and said quietly, "There are countless beauties on Shuiyun Mountain. Who do you think I can compete with?"

"Besides."

She paused, shook her head and continued, "Treat people with your looks, after all, is not a long-term solution. Now that my brother has made great achievements on the battlefield, if I can pass the three tests and become an official in the cabinet, then the Su family can truly prosper."

"If even a word of what happened in the other courtyard is leaked to the outside world, you should know the consequences."

"I will keep my mouth shut."

the maid hastened to assure.

"Sir, are you not going to take Miss Su back with you?"

The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Wudi City, and the coffins were carried by villages and towns towards the west.

"What are you taking it back for?"

He leaned against the carriage.

"Linglong is proud and talented. It would be a pity to keep her in captivity. Give her a chance to show her talents."

Let's put this matter behind us for now.

After the carriage left the territory of Wudi City, the official road became much worse and more rugged and difficult to travel on. The cold wind was howling through the mountains and fields, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

This time.

Although he did not ride in a royal carriage in broad daylight, he did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts.

If nothing else happens.

All forces should be secretly keeping an eye on their whereabouts at all times.

but.

Xiao Han didn't care.

Counting the days, there was still some time before the New Year, so they did not travel fast. They traveled during the day and rested at night.

The further they walked towards the capital city, the colder and more biting the wind became. After about three days, sparse snowflakes began to float in the sky.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

The roads are becoming increasingly difficult to travel.

Seven days later.

The carriage arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

Yingcheng.

It was still quite busy, but as it got darker, heavy snow covered the ground, so we found an inn in the city to stay.

There was heavy snow outside the window, and I couldn't see how far away it was. Inside the room, heat was floating and the fire was blazing.

There were many dishes and wine on the table, giving off an enticing aroma. The two were in a hurry and didn't care about eating, so they just wolfed down the food.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After eating and drinking, Hu Chi returned to the next room. The waiter brought up hot water. He took a comfortable hot bath and changed into a clean robe and jacket.

Then he walked out from behind the screen and moved the rattan chair to the windowsill. The kettle on the fire was already boiling, and white hot steam was coming out from the spout.

Wrapped in a thick coat and with the fire burning, I didn't feel cold at all. I made a cup of hot tea.

Lying on a chair with legs crossed, cracking melon seeds and looking at the strong wind and heavy snow outside the window, I felt quite comfortable.

Although the inns in Yingcheng cannot be compared with the taverns and inns in Xiliang, it is still located under the emperor's feet and must be much better than other places.

"Master, the fruits you requested are here."

The servant's voice was heard outside the door.

"come in."

As he spoke, a waiter came in, bent over and placed the plate on the low table.

"Master, this snow pear on top is refreshing, crisp and very sweet. Master, please try it first."

"If you think the food is good, I will bring some more to you."

The servant smiled apologetically.

"Understood, let's go down."

Xiao Han took the top pear and waved his hand. The servant left the room and closed the door.

With a little force, the pear was split open, revealing a note with just a few words on it.

After reading it, he threw it into the fire and it turned into ashes in an instant.

As night falls, the sky becomes hazy, the snow continues to fall, and the wind howls. Standing on the windowsill and looking out over the entire street, there is almost no one to be seen, and even a few lights can be seen.

It was freezing cold and the city was blocked by heavy snow.

Candlelight flickers.

Bright undulating.

Sitting on the rattan chair, the man wrapped in a coat closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, making long breathing sounds.

Suddenly not realizing it.

It was midnight.

The fire was still burning even after adding more charcoal to the stove twice.

suddenly.

Candlelight flickers.

Then a ghostly figure appeared in the room, shrouded in a black robe, with the dim candlelight unable to illuminate his face.

"you are late."

Sitting on the rattan chair, Xiao Han opened his eyes and said lightly.
