"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, we are going to rest in Xining, the capital city of Jingxi Prefecture tonight. The governor of Jingxi Prefecture has already arranged a reception banquet for you. Take a look..."

Ji Ming asked cautiously.

"That's all."

Zhao Cuo, who was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, opened his eyes and said.

"My Majesty has ordered that this trip should not be carried out with any fanfare. Go and thank the Governor for my kindness and ask him not to bother the troops."

"I will take my orders."

Ji Ming responded and then said.

"Master Zhao, your accommodation has been arranged. Do you want to go directly there now? It is already Xu time."

"I also want to rest early."

Zhao Cuo opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at Ji Ming standing beside the horse outside.

"Master Ji, please stop being busy and let the soldiers settle down. Get some rest early and continue on your journey tomorrow."

He showed a friendly smile to Ji Ming. As a superior officer, he could sit in the carriage and talk to him, but it was also a courtesy to stick his head out.

"Sir, take a good rest and I will take care of everything."

Ji Ming cupped his hands and said, Young Master Zhao smiled and nodded before lowering the curtain, and then the carriage started moving again.

"What do you want to eat for dinner, the Imperial Master? I'll have someone prepare it when you get to the mansion where you're staying. I heard that the flower cakes in Jingxi Mansion are a must-try dessert when you're here."

"I don't want to eat..."

Chu Biezhi subconsciously gave the same answer as when he was asked a few days ago. After realizing what Zhao Cuo said, he suddenly whispered:

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】

"Let's eat the flower cake you mentioned tonight. I want the one with rose filling, and of course I want some other flavors too."

"It seems that I will prepare some for you before we go on the road tomorrow."

Young Master Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

Xiaobiezhi's behavior of eating sweets as food, if it were a real child, he would definitely be beaten.

On the day she set off from the capital, she ate the entire box of candied haws prepared by Zhao Cuo within an hour.

"I've met the master!"

Zhao Cuo got off the carriage in front of the residence prepared for him by the governor of Jingxi.

The attendants and maids, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, immediately bowed respectfully.

When he saw this scene, he knew that the governor of Jingxi Mansion was also an old bureaucrat who knew how to maneuver.

"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite."

Young Master Zhao waved his hand and said.

"Let the kitchen prepare some food and Jingxi's famous pastries, and get going."

"Report to your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."

An old housekeeper walked forward and lowered his head and said.

"Master Futaimu has already ordered me to wait at his house to prepare a reception banquet,"

The so-called Futai is the honorific title given to the governor of a government.

"The pastry Mr. Zhao wants is small, so I'll send someone to prepare it."

"No one can find anything wrong with Governor Mu's preparedness."

Zhao Cuo couldn't help but speak in his heart at this time.

Ji Ming just told him that the governor of Jingxi had arranged a banquet waiting for him.

But this Futai was so polite that he even arranged the family dinner after he refused the banquet.

"That's good. In addition, the hot water needs to be heated in the soup room. Those who are fine can rest first."

After he said that, he walked into the mansion with the support of his entourage. As for the servants arranged for him by the Jingxi governor, he could only cook and boil water.

The only people who can really stay by your side to serve you are those who were brought here from the capital.

Disasters on the east wall must be guarded against.

"How is the taste?"

In the brightly lit lobby, Zhao Cuo sat at the dining table and moved his chopsticks. Of course, his attention was more on Xiao Biezhi beside him.

"The floral aroma is rich but not as sweet as candied haws."

Master Chu replied in a young voice.

"If I make it, I will definitely add more sucrose for you."

Zhao Cuo couldn't help but smile when he thought of what she had said to ridicule him on the day of departure.

"snort……"

Xiaobiezhi understood what he said and did not respond further, quietly eating several plates of sweets on the table.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"

At this time, a secret guard of the East Palace wearing black attire walked in quickly.

"This is news from Ningguo."

"Is there any movement from the other six countries and Huainan?"

He asked as he took the fire-lacquered secret letter handed over by the secret guard.

"No news has been received yet."

The secret guard of the East Palace lowered his head and replied.

"I understand, please go down."

Zhao Cuo was not in a hurry to read the letter, but continued to enjoy the sumptuous dinner. What happened in Ningguo could not be changed by the time of this meal.

He ate his dinner leisurely and then took a shower.

After finishing his daily chores, he came to the dormitory with the letter.

"Master Imperial Master, you are here, right?"

He suddenly said before sitting at the desk and opening the envelope.

"Do you want me to avoid it?"

The plain voice of Chubie's branches sounded.

"No."

Zhao Cuo said with a smile.

"What I want to say is that you don't have to stare at me in the dark every night. I am practicing anyway. You can meditate beside me like we are on a carriage."

After he finished speaking, he only heard a slight response.

"oh."

The topic is dead.

Young Master Zhao lowered his head and read the letter.

"What's going on with Prince Ning?"

His brows quickly furrowed.

The few lines of words on this letter told him what a small word means a big deal.

The sudden incident mentioned above made him alert that the Seven Kings might have made some big move.

"Prince Ning, Prince Ning, broke out of the palace on horseback last night with dozens of soldiers? And he is still missing?"

Zhao Cuo was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity.

"Go and ask Su Ping to come over."

Su Ping is the secret guard of the East Palace who just delivered the letter to him.

"Zhao Qin Envoy."

The secret guard who received the message arrived soon.

"You can arrange for the secret guards of the East Palace of Jingxi Mansion to conduct a nationwide search for Prince Ning from tomorrow morning."

Zhao mistakenly issued the order while narrowing his eyes.

"Take orders."

Su Ping immediately got up and left after receiving the order.

"Prince Ning actually fled at this time?"
