After feeding the snow bird, Xu Suye let it rest for more than two hours. The sky finally became bright and clear, and he drove back with one person and one horse.
On the way back, Xu Yanzhi suddenly wanted to compete with the Snow Predator. Once he had this idea, he could no longer hold it back. During the march, he suddenly reined in his horse and walked up to the snow bird. He held its head, looked into its eyes, and whispered a few words in a low voice. Unexpectedly, it looked up to the sky and roared a few times before running away.
The so-called good horse must not only have fast feet, but also understand human nature and understand people's hearts. Snow Bird of Prey is worthy of being the best horse.
Seeing this, Xu Suye laughed wildly, looked at Juechen and sighed: "There is such a good horse, even if it is the most beautiful horse in the world, it will not change!"
After sighing with emotion, he mustered up his inner strength and chased after him using the Xu family's "Feng Chao Step".
It is said that an old horse knows the way. Although this snowy bird of prey is not old, it is born with a good memory. After breaking free from the reins, it has been running wildly back to the way it came.
The Snow Bird of Prey had already traveled nearly two hundred feet ahead, which was a huge head start. How could Xu Jinye dare to hold back after leaving? He used 100% of his internal energy to use Qinggong footwork to catch up.
After ten miles, the men and horses were already moving forward in tandem.
As a king, is Snow Bird willing to fall behind others? The horse's head sank, and the steps under his feet instantly increased a bit, and soon he was several feet away from Xu Jinye.
... ...
After returning to the capital, Xu Jinye did not rush directly to the branch hall of Zhaixing Pavilion.
Before leaving the inn, he had promised Mei Yuanchen to go to Prince Jaw's Mansion to explain to Xia Chengxuan the reason for the visit, and other arrangements had to be made for welcoming the coffin.
This trip was about to be rewarded, and Xu Su was so ambitious that he was happy to take these few words with him and ride his snow bird straight to Prince Jaw's Mansion.
When he heard that people from the Xu family were visiting, Xia Chengxuan thought it was Xu Xugong who was here. He was discussing with Du Chong who should be the bodyguard for the palace. He didn't want to see the guests at first, but he remembered that Xu Xigong had helped the palace capture the desperate swordsman who wanted to kidnap Xia Chengyi, so he had to bite the bullet and go to the side. Hall, just treat it as a favor.
When he went to the side hall, he saw a tall young man in white clothes standing with his hands behind his back. Although there was no description, he could tell that this man was definitely not Xu Sugong.
Xu Jinye was looking at a painting called "The Tiger Does Not Roar" in the hall. Although he heard the footsteps and knew that the master's house was approaching, he still did not turn around until he finished appreciating the painting.
"The guest has been waiting for a long time!" Xia Chengxuan stepped forward and said with a forced smile.
Seeing that the visitor only looked at the paintings hanging on the wall and didn't even know he was here, Xia Chengxuan was not annoyed. Instead, he felt a little relieved. The painting "The Tiger Does Not Roar" was Xia Muchao's own calligraphy.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! I am Xu Jinye." Xu Jinye turned around, bowed and said, "This painting is so vivid that I am fascinated by it. I hope you don't get weirded out."
Xia Chengxuan waved his hand, pointed to the guest seat on the side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, please sit down."
"I'm just here to say a few words and then leave. I don't dare to disturb you too much." Xu Jinye replied. He knew that Prince Jia's palace was busy with the funeral ceremony of Xia Mu Dynasty, and everything was busy, so it was not suitable for him to stay for a long time.
Send a message?
"Oh? That's it, thank you!" Xia Chengxuan was very surprised and returned the favor.
Xu Jinye said to him sternly: "I found out from a friend that Prince Yun's Palace sent nearly a hundred dead warriors to Jinzhou, Anxian, in order to harm the Mei family. I met Mr. Mei at the inn on the outskirts of the city last night and told me about this. The news was told to him. After learning about this, he was so anxious that he rushed to Fuyang County in the dark. Before leaving, he asked me to tell the prince that he was afraid that he would not be able to handle the coffin support and asked you to send someone else. others."
"Prince Yun's Mansion?" Xia Chengxuan's face was ashen and his fists clenched loudly.
He had already sent people to target the hundreds of Xiangyang Black Riders who had just entered the capital. Unexpectedly, Xia Muyan actually sent people to Jinzhou.
In recent years, the economy has been poor and grains have been insufficient. It has been difficult for the people to feed themselves, and it has been even more difficult for the court to collect taxes and money. The major salt fields in Blind Mountain and Fuzhou produce salt of high quality and quantity, and have now become Dahua's moneybags.
This is why King Duan knew that with Mei Siyuan's intervention, the epidemic in Shanghe County would definitely be under control, but he still hesitated whether to transfer him there.
The Anxian Salt Transport Administration Department is such an important yamen, so the defense is naturally particularly tight. In addition to the more than 300 official government officials, Emperor Yonghua specially dispatched 50 Taoist priests from the Shenshaoying Camp, Zhenwu Temple, and the Yun family father and son and other retainers of the Mei Mansion. Compared with the previous General's Mansion, it was even better. .
Even with such precautions, Xia Chengxuan still felt that it was not safe and was so frightened that he was confused. The strength of Prince Yun's Mansion is unfathomable, not to mention the Yan Gang and Jiudian.
"What should I do?"
Xia Chengxuan was very afraid of something going wrong with Mei Siyuan, both in the court, in the Prince's Palace, and personally.
"Thank you Mr. Xu for coming so far to report the news. Chengxuan is very grateful!" Xia Chengxuan said with a grateful face.
Xu Jinye smiled heartily and replied: "It's a little effort. I'll say goodbye."
"Chengxuan has something to do, so I can't send him far away."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome, stay!" After saying this, he left.
After sending Xu Suye away, Xia Chengxuan returned to the study, where Du Chong was still waiting.
Seeing the young master's gloomy face, Du Zhong asked: "Your Majesty, has something difficult happened?"
After experiencing these evil things in the past two months, Du Chong knew that Dahua was in a troubled time, and he would no longer be surprised by what happened next.
"Xia Muyan sent a team of people to Jinzhou." Xia Chengxuan responded in a deep voice.
Nothing can happen to the Mei family, and nothing can happen to Prince Jia's palace. Judging from Xia Muyan's dealings with King Duan, it is obvious that he has reached the final stage of seizing the throne. To deal with him, Xia Chengxuan did not have enough manpower. He wanted to send people to Jinzhou, not to mention that it was too late. The key was that there was no one to send.
Du Chong was also startled after hearing this. Mei Siyuan is the highest-ranking vassal of Prince Jaw's Mansion, and the Mei family is also a major help for them in their fight against Prince Yun's Mansion. If the Mei family is in trouble, it means that Prince Jaw's Mansion is in trouble.
After weighing the matter again and again, Xia Chengxuan finally gritted his teeth and said to Du Chong, "Go and summon the people from Baiweitang immediately and tell them to get to Jinzhou before the people from Prince Yun's Palace!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!" Du Chong was shocked and advised.
Didn't Xia Chengxuan not know that it was extremely dangerous to transfer Baiweitang out of the capital at this time? However, it was impossible for him to know the news and do nothing to save him. Hearing Du Chong's advice, he felt irritable and reprimanded coldly: "I know what I'm doing, let's do it quickly!"
Back then, Prince Duan was the most likely prince to succeed to the throne. However, when the late emperor was critically ill, King Qing used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and lured nearly half of the elites from the palace. Finally, he sent people to kill Prince Duan in the palace and almost killed Prince Duan.
Although King Duan was lucky enough to survive, he was disabled for life and had no chance to take the throne.
The more critical the situation is, the more brutal the people in the situation will be. Many times, the more brutal methods are more effective. Back then, if King Qing's people had gotten things done, there would have been no such thing as King Duan pushing King Hua to the throne.
Success or failure is just a thin line.
