"Your Majesty, according to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, you are not allowed to leave the city. At this juncture, it is easy for something to happen."

Behind the leading man in brocade robes, an elegant middle-aged man looked sad, hesitated for a while and whispered.

"Will King Qin's motorcade pass through here?"

The leader did not answer the elegant man's question, but asked another question.

The elegant man secretly sighed: "Your Majesty, when King Qin's motorcade goes to Beijing, whether it enters Luoyang City to rest or goes directly north, it must pass through this official road.

And according to our information, King Qin’s motorcade is already close to ten miles away from here. "

"Well, let's make arrangements and get everything ready!"

After the leader said something, he fell into deep thought.

This group of people is Prince Fu Zhu Changxun who was entrusted to Luoyang, and the people behind him are the civil servants of Prince Fu's Mansion.

More than a hundred meters behind this group of people, there were dozens of people wearing official uniforms. These people were officials from Luoyang Prefecture.

King Fu wanted to leave the city, but they couldn't control it, and they didn't dare to control it, so they had no choice but to follow him out.

More than ten miles away from Luoyang Post, a convoy of hundreds of double carriages was slowly moving forward.

Countless sergeants were wandering around, and there was an army of thousands of people accompanying the convoy. Every sergeant's eyes were full of vigilance.

In the middle of the motorcade is an extremely luxurious and spacious carriage, spray-painted with gold python patterns, showing the dignity of the carriage owner.

This is the convoy that starts from Xi'an Mansion, enters Henan via Tongguan, and passes through Luoyang to the Prince of Qin's Mansion in Beijing.

There are countless gold and silver treasures in this fleet, so much so that the fleet can only travel a distance of fifty or sixty miles every day.

"Report!"

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves galloping from the front of the motorcade towards the luxurious carriage. The commander of the Beijing camp beside the carriage made Chen Quan's face freeze.

"Commander Chen, Prince Fu and his people are waiting at Luoyang Station about ten miles ahead of the convoy. That is the only way to the capital!"

Chen Quan's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Go and ask Commander Teng to come!"

After a while, Teng Zao, who was behind the motorcade, arrived in front of the luxury carriage. His expression changed slightly, and he obviously knew what he was going to face next.

The laws of the Ming vassal kings clearly stipulated that the vassal king was not allowed to leave the city without an application, and the two kings were not allowed to meet each other.

King Fu stopped him on the way, which meant that he wanted to see King Qin. If the two of them met, they would not be able to bear the news back to the court.

"Brother Teng, what do you think about this?"

Teng Zao looked at the front of the motorcade and sighed: "It's inevitable."

"The convoy is so large that it is unrealistic to turn around and take other routes, and it can easily lead to trouble.

And since King Fu dared to leave the city and is still stuck here, it means that he must see him.

Even if we take a detour, they can continue to block us while traveling lightly. "

Having said this, Teng Zao was silent for a moment: "Since King Fu wants to see King Qin, let them meet."

"The second king wants to meet, this responsibility..."

"Brother Chen, don't be anxious!"

Teng Zao waved his hand: "Although King Qin will be sent to Beijing to be imprisoned, his title of prince is still there, and the honor of the first prince of Ming Dynasty is still there.

Prince Fu is Shenzong’s favorite son, Guangzong’s younger brother, and his Majesty’s royal uncle. None of these identities are beyond our control.

The Law of the Ming Dynasty is of no use to the two princes, and there is no one from the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites here, so we can't stop it.

Since you can't change, it's better to be a favor.

But we must be present. If King Qin and King Fu chat about family matters, that’s it.

If some other information is conveyed, we will take coercive measures and take him away directly. What does Brother Chen think? "

"What if King Fu disagrees?"

"disagree?"

Teng Zao's face turned cold: "We can't help him. If we don't agree, we won't get used to it. We have military orders, and we don't have to pay attention to anyone except His Majesty and Mr. Yuan Ge."

Chen Quan sighed, looked at the front of the motorcade again, nodded helplessly, and complained in his heart, what the hell is going on.

However, he is not too afraid. He is a confidant of the British Duke. If he tells the matter exactly as it is, and then the British Duke comes forward, the most he can do is scold him.

The two of them looked at the carriage where King Qin was sitting at the same time, and then looked at each other, both of them remained silent.

They also had a sense of luck in their hearts, what if King Fu was just seeing a joke?

The motorcade was driving slowly. After more than an hour, Chen Quan and Teng Zao had already seen King Fu and others beside the official road from a distance.

The two of them each glanced at their subordinates, then galloped on their horses. In a moment, they were more than ten meters in front of King Fu. Then they turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to King Fu, and immediately handed him over.

"The final commander of the capital camp, Chen Quan!"

"The final general Tongguan Guard Commander Teng Zao!"

"I have met His Royal Highness Prince Fu!"

"No gift!"

King Fu's voice was very calm.

He looked at the looming Qin King's carriage in the motorcade and said in a deep voice: "Do you two know the purpose of my visit? How can you make it easier?"

Chen Quan's expression turned solemn: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, Prince of the Ming Dynasty..."

"Don't mention this to me. Since I dare to leave the city, I must see King Qin. Afterwards, I will go to Zhezi to plead guilty!"

King Fu's words interrupted Chen Quan's last struggle.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Teng Zao immediately said: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu, it's okay to meet Prince Qin, but the two of us must be present, how about that?"

"Okay, we are both members of the royal family, King Qin. I just want to have a glass of wine with King Qin and talk about old times.

By the way, let King Qin take a hot bath, so don't be too nervous. "

Chen Quan and Teng Zao looked at each other and nodded, then Chen Quan immediately got on his horse and ran towards King Qin's carriage.

Teng Zao waved his hand, and nearly a hundred sergeants rushed into the post station to inspect it step by step.

After a while, King Qin's carriage arrived in front of King Fu.

King Qin got off the carriage and looked at King Fu in front of him. He opened his lips several times but made no sound.

Although both of them are princes of the royal family, their relationship is incompatible with each other.

But now when he met King Fu, King Qin instantly understood what blood is thicker than water.

King Fu whispered: "Go take a hot bath and have a few drinks with me later!"

King Qin nodded and followed the attendant to the room next to him. King Qin's direct family members also entered the inn.

After taking a bath, King Qin and King Fu sat across from each other. Neither of them spoke. They drank one glass of wine after another, but the dishes on the table were not touched.

It's as if this wine can relieve a thousand worries.

After a while, the pot of wine was bottomed out. King Qin picked up the wine glass and stood up, looking at King Fu as if he was brewing something.

Teng Zao and Chen Quan on one side looked nervous.
