The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 262
"The son—" Li Lin took a hissing breath, really undecided in his heart: "Should we chase or wait?"

Chu Qiyan narrowed his eyes and thought about it again, and suddenly remembered something, and opened his eyes again, with a flash of light in his eyes, and asked him sideways: "In that team, apart from Chu Xunyang and her guards in the East Palace, who else saw you?" Is anyone there?"

Li Lin frowned, thought about it seriously, and shook his head: "No! They are all familiar faces that often appear around the prince and King Kang."

When Chu Qiyan heard this, the corners of her lips curled up, and a smile suddenly appeared.

Li Lin looked at it, the fog in his heart suddenly dissipated, he breathed out suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you mean Master Yanling—"

"Ever since this person came to the capital, Chu Xunyang's involvement has always been indispensable in everything he does. Isn't it too strange that he didn't show up for such a big event this time?" Chu Qiyan said, with a sharp look in his eyes flash.

Li Lin didn't dare to take it lightly anymore, so he quickly ordered someone to investigate.

Chu Qiyan was not in a hurry, but just stayed on the street, waiting calmly.

Not long after, there were spies flying pigeons to pass on the book.

After Li Lin removed the bamboo tube and looked at it, his expression became more dignified and he said: "Your Majesty, as expected, someone saw Lord Yanling and Princess Xunyang appearing together near the south gate of the palace this evening, and then left together. "

Chu Qiyan pursed her lips and remained silent.

After a while, another secret letter arrived.

After reading it, Li Lin's expression immediately changed: "It was also half an hour ago, with the Yulin Army, the carriage of the old doctor Chen's house went out of the city, saying that he was going to the next town to buy medicinal materials."

Chu Qiyan refused to judge, Li Linwu thought for a while, and said: "Could it be that Princess Xunyang is just a pretense here, but Master Yanling led people to escort Tuoba Yunji away first?"

The more Li Lin thought about it, the more likely this was. After all, the emperor wanted Tuoba Yunji's life this time, and Chu Xunyang personally escorted her, so the risk he took was too great.

"It's only been half an hour since they left, there's still time to chase them!" Li Lin said, and he was about to order the people below to prepare for the chase.

"No hurry!" Chu Qiyan said, but suddenly raised her hand to stop him.

Li Lin was puzzled and gave him a questioning look.

"Keep waiting!" Chu Qiyan said, her eyes were condensed and deep, and she said coldly, "Let the spies placed near the East Palace not withdraw first, and then keep an eye on me!"

"Yes!" Although Li Lin had a lot of doubts in his heart, he didn't question his order. He hurriedly sent a letter to the pigeon, and when he came back to return, he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, my subordinate is stupid, Master Yanling Are you really letting go of Princess Xunyang? What if—”

"Nothing happens!" Chu Qiyan said, her tone was firm and cool, and her words were clear, "I'm waiting for——Chu Qifeng!"

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, his expression becoming more and more bewildered!

"This matter is a matter of the entire Eastern Palace, and even if it is only Chu Xunyang's personal matter, Chu Qifeng has been watching it coldly from the beginning to the end. Don't you think such signs are suspicious?" Chu Qiyan asked.

Li Lin followed his suggestion and thought for a while, and couldn't help but gasped: "The prince is suspicious. This is just a trick they use to cover up people's ears? Both Master Yanling and Princess Xunyang are just a cover, just to distract Our attention, in fact—is the King of County Kang the one who is really doing this?"

Chu Qiyan snorted coldly, noncommittal.

With the deep brother-sister relationship between Chu Qifeng and Chu Xunyang, how could he turn a deaf ear to this matter from the beginning to the end?During this period of time, Chu Xunyang was responsible for everything, which almost created an illusion for him——

This is just Chu Xunyang fighting him alone!

If he hadn't reconsidered all the things in the past few days, he would have almost been fooled by the brother and sister's tricks.

Li Lin didn't dare to take it lightly, and quickly added another order, ordering people to pay close attention to the movement around the entire East Palace.

Sure enough, about a quarter of an hour later, the sound of flapping birds' wings blew across the air again, and a carrier pigeon flew from the direction of the East Palace.

Li Lin's spirit was shaken, and he hurried over to open the secret letter in the bamboo tube. After reading it, he sighed again: "Your Majesty, King Kang has indeed brought someone out of the city!"

Chu Qiyan sneered, showing an expression that she had known this before, and while she gathered her cloak and rode out of the alley, she asked, "Which city gate are you going through?"

"South City Gate!" Li Lin said.

"Let's go!" Chu Qiyan said, and when she got out of the alley, she rode her horse and ran towards the south gate without any hesitation.

Under the night, the silver moonlight sprinkled the ground.

On the top of the tall city gate, the metal armors of the soldiers defending the city reflected a cold light, rendering the air in this winter night even colder and harsher.

It was only the beginning of the watch, and there was no one inside or outside the city gate. It was empty, but the soldiers did not dare to take it lightly. They were still keenly observing the movement around them, not daring to make any omissions.

In the silence of the night, suddenly there was a clear and ethereal sound of horseshoes stepping on the cold ground and slowly approaching.

The soldiers guarding the city hurriedly collected their minds, followed the prestige, and saw a group of lightly dressed men and horses running towards the city gate from the direction of the inner city.

"Who is the person who left the city overnight?" The city guard shouted in a rough voice.

A fast horse crossed the team and rushed out first.

Jiang Liu flicked the token prepared in advance in front of him, and said, "We are the guards of the Eastern Palace. Our county prince has something to go out of the city, let's go!"

It was the middle of the month soon, and the moon was shining brightly in the sky. The token was clearly identified by the moonlight, and the city guard hurried forward to return it.

At that time, Chu Qifeng and his party had also approached the city gate.

"I have seen King Kang!" Everyone hurried forward to salute.

"En!" Chu Qifeng, who was on top of the horse, responded lightly, glanced slightly, glanced around, and said, "I want to go out of the city, and someone will let me open the door. If there is no accident, I should come back around three o'clock. "

"Yes!" the city guard hurriedly said, "The prince of the county has something to do, just go and take care of it. The younger one will be on duty tonight. If you need it, just call me anytime!"

Because of the Tuoba Huai'an incident, the emperor was very angry, and he severely reprimanded Chu Yi'an. During this period of time, the city gate guards resumed the previous mechanism, and the infantry yamen and the nine city soldiers and horses were in charge in turn. This night, they were on duty. Although Cheng Cheng is a member of the infantry yamen, for Chu Qifeng, the county prince who is deeply favored by the emperor, everyone can still curry favor as much as possible, and there is no slack in the mind.

Chu Qifeng nodded slightly, and Jiang Liu had already pulled out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it over, saying, "It's been cold for the past two days, brothers have worked hard at night watch, let's warm up with a pot of wine!"
