Sima Changshen immediately said: "Father, you are old and so injured, how can you continue to go to the imperial tomb?"

The King of Huainan also looked solemn and said, "Is the old Duke's lumbar bone damaged? Is it really just a problem of muscles and bones?"

"Don't worry, the prince can guarantee his life. As long as the old Duke's injury is recuperated, he will be cured and there will be no major problems." Fan Yuan Envoy said seriously.

The King of Huainan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Old Duke, you naturally know that this time you are worshiping the imperial tomb is very important. The four hereditary marquis of that year, the old Marquis of Dan Tai was unable to come due to illness. Only you are an old minister of the three dynasties. Although there are many officials, it is always inappropriate not to be present. Look!"

"Prince, my father is so injured. Do you think he can still go to the imperial tomb to make trouble?" Sima Changshen's face darkened and he sneered: "Do you want to let my father die in the imperial tomb?"

"Stop!" Sima Lan's face turned cold: "Sima Changshen, how can you let you be arrogant here?" Looking at the King of Huainan, "What the prince said is very true. The Great Chu is very kind to my Sima family. I must not be absent from such a big event in worshiping the imperial tomb." Seeing the team stopping and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good to delay here. Although I can't move at the moment, the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all masters of Xinglin. As long as they have a little treatment, there should be no major problems." After moving, a "ah" sounded in his throat, and his face was full of pain.

The envoy of the Fan Yuan hurriedly held Sima Lan's arm and said, "The old Duke must not move, otherwise it will only aggravate the injury. The subordinate will send someone to the Imperial Hospital to summon people and ask them to come here with medicinal materials." He said to Sima Changshen: "Marty, the sage can't be delayed. Please bring people to carry the old Duke to the side of the road and set up a temporary tent. The large group of people can go to the imperial tomb first. We will do our best to treat the old Duke, and hope to catch up with tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony."

Sima Changshen looked solemn, and the King of Huainan had already asked: "Envoy Fan Yuan, it is not safe to be located in the suburbs of Beijing. Can someone carry the old Duke to the imperial tomb?"

"No." Fan Yuan Envoy said seriously: "Prince, let alone this place is nearly a hundred miles away from the imperial tomb. With the current situation of the old Duke, even if he is carried out ten miles, it may cause greater damage to the waist bone. As long as the current injuries are treated in time, there will be no big problems. However, if the injuries are increased, the subordinates are only worried that even if they are fully rescued, they will leave huge hidden dangers in the future, and even paralysis will be caused."

At this time, he saw a sharp voice asking, "What's wrong with the old Duke?" Everyone looked over, but it was Fan Dehai, the eunuch general manager next to the little emperor Longtai.

"Eunuch Fan, my father accidentally fell off the horse, and his waist was broken and he was unable to move." Sima Changshen immediately said: "I ask Eunuch Fan to report to the emperor that my father cannot go to the imperial tomb with him."

"The old Duke was dismissed?" Fan Dehai was shocked and hurriedly said, "The family will report to the emperor now."

Sima Lan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that the dragon driver would be delayed because of my negligence. Chang Shen immediately sent someone to build a temporary tent on the side of the road and carry me over, so as not to block the road." He also said to the envoy of Fanyuan: "Envoy of Fanyuan, if you have time, please send someone to get medicine immediately."

Sima Changshen was a little unwilling to do so, but he knew that the current situation could not be delayed. He immediately ordered a temporary tent to be set up on the side of the road, and ordered someone to make a stretcher to carry Sima Lan to the side of the road.

A moment later, Van Dehai had already returned and said, "The emperor has an order. If the old Duke is too injured, he will return to Beijing for treatment immediately."

"Thank you for your concern," Sima Lan said: "Eunuch Fan, there is no major problem with the old minister. The envoy of the Fan Yuan also said that as long as there is a little treatment, there will be no big problems. The old minister will be here for the time being, and then he will be carried to the imperial tomb. He will definitely arrive before the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow."

The King of Huainan sighed and said, "It's over, and the old Duke can only stay here for a while." He glanced at Fan Dehai beside him and asked, "Eunuch Fan, when will the sacrificial ceremony start tomorrow?"

"Report to the prince, the Ministry of Rites has confirmed that tomorrow's Chen hour is the auspicious time, and the sacrificial ceremony will be held from Chen hour." Fan Dehai replied respectfully.

Sima Lan immediately said: "Before tomorrow, the old minister will arrive on time."

The King of Huainan reached out to hold Sima Lan's hand and sighed: "Old Duke, although you and I are a little unhappy, the unhappiness between private people is nothing compared to national affairs. You are an important minister of my Chu State. You must rely on the old Duke for many major issues in the court. I hope to recover as soon as possible and do not worry the emperor and the king."

Sima Lan showed a hint of emotion and said, "The prince is in love, but the old minister is grateful."

The King of Huainan said: "Send the order and continue moving forward."

Someone came over to make a stretcher and carefully carried Sima Lan onto the stretcher. The temporary tent was quickly set up on the roadside. The King of Huainan said with concern: "Old Duke, I will ask the emperor for the imperial edict and leave some Yulin Camp guards to protect the old Duke. "

Sima Lan lay on the stretcher and shook her head slightly and said, "Yulin Camp is the escort emperor. How can the old ministers be abandoned because of the old ministers? The old ministers will ask people to transfer soldiers from the Black Scale Camp to come as a guard for a while, so there is no need for the prince to worry too much."

"Since that's the case, take care of the old Duke." The King of Huainan nodded slightly: "I and the emperor go to the imperial tomb first, waiting for the old Duke to come over."

Although Sima Lan was accidentally caught and delayed some time, the team quickly reopened.

Qi Ning rode a horse and walked out for a while. He looked back and saw someone carrying Sima Lan into the tent.

He was just now without saying anything, but he was observing the horse Sima Lan rode. The horse was indeed a good horse and there was nothing wrong with it. Qi Ning was very curious and wondered why the horse was suddenly frightened and would have fallen Sima Lan down from the horse's back? Could it be that someone had tampered with the horse immediately?

He was surprised that amid the sound of rituals and music, he had already walked for a while.

A hundred miles away is not far away, but it is not close. Many of the court officials still walk on foot. These officials usually wear rich clothes and eat well, but now they have to walk on foot. Many people really can't stand it, and some of them are already out of breath after traveling for about twenty miles.

In addition, the scorching sun was scorching, and the officials were traveling in court, and they were sweating profusely all over their bodies.

Longtai was considerate to the court officials. He would rest for a while after a journey. At noon, he arrived at the place where he had prepared a meal in advance and prepared some pancakes that were easy to eat quickly. Many officials could not eat anything, but drank a lot of water.

It was only in the afternoon that I arrived at the imperial tomb.

After Chi Fengdian arrived, he immediately dispatched troops to guard the various roads leading to the imperial tombs, and then sent troops to the surrounding area of ​​the imperial tombs to protect them. The guards guards stationed in the imperial tombs were also assigned and managed by Chi Fengdian.

However, the sacrificial ceremony is still tomorrow, so the emperor and his ministers do not have to enter the imperial tomb today. The monks of Daguangming Temple and Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain must first enter the imperial tomb and recite scriptures and practice methods. The Ministry of Rites has already made preparations in advance. After arriving, officials from the Ministry of Rites led monks from both Buddhist and Taoist sects into the imperial tomb, while the emperor and civil and military officials stayed in the eastern suburbs of the imperial tomb.

Before the dragon arrived, a tent had been set up in the eastern suburbs of the imperial tomb. The emperor's golden tent lived in the middle, which was magnificent. Two hundred elite soldiers of the Yulin Camp guarded the golden tent three layers outside and three layers. According to the etiquette of the Chu State, the emperor would bathe and clean himself tonight and copy Buddhist scriptures without seeing any court officials.

The tents of the ministers surrounded the golden tent, like stars holding the moon. According to the height of the official position, the closer they are to the emperor's golden tent.

After the ministers rushed to this day, many of them were exhausted. After sending the emperor to the tent, the ministers also returned to their own tents to rest. In the evening, the eastern suburbs of the imperial tomb were silent. Some officials could not bear it and rested in the tent, and some officials copied Buddhist scriptures in order to show their piety towards the imperial tomb.

After staying in the camp, Qi Ning walked around and confirmed that the golden tent was guarded and was not airtight. He also learned that before tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, no one could approach the emperor's golden tent. Only then did he feel at ease. Compared with other ministers, this path today was just a piece of cake for him, so he naturally would not feel tired at all.

The camp was guarded by the elite soldiers of the Yulin, and the elite soldiers of the Yulin were all carefully selected brave warriors. It was exaggerated to be one to do ten, but it was really no problem to deal with three or five people. Moreover, Qi Ning had long discovered that the palace swordsman Xiang Tianbei disguised himself as a eunuch in the palace and was always guarding the emperor's side. Qi Ning knew that the group of eunuchs guarding Longtai might not be the only master Xiang Tianbei. Among them, there were probably many masters of the palace. Not to mention that no one could get close to the golden tent. Even if they were close to the golden tent and were waiting for the eunuchs in the palace around the tent, it was an insurmountable protection.

Qi Ning knew that with the strength of Shadow Mouse, even if he was good at assassination, he would never have the chance to sneak attack the emperor.

Chi Fengdian was responsible for guarding, so after he stayed in the camp, he did not have a moment of rest. He always patrolled the camp with his guards. He dispatched nearly a hundred people to patrol the camp back and forth. Anything wrong with the entire camp could be discovered by the Yulin Camp immediately.

At this time, Qi Ning no longer worried about Longtai's safety, but he was worried about Prince Dongqi in the capital.

He did not have any good feelings for the Prince of Dongqi, but the Prince of Dongqi is now in Chu State, which is very important. If any accident occurs in Chu State, then all efforts made by Chu State will be wasted, and Qi and Chu State will definitely turn against each other, which will be a huge disaster for the soldiers of Chu State.

The hope that the Prince of Dongqi will have an accident in the territory of Chu is naturally the result that many people hope to see.

Qi Ning didn't care whether the prince of Dongqi was alive or dead. He just hoped that the prince would never have any accidents in the territory of Chu. After the wedding, he would respectfully send the prince to leave Chu. As long as he left Chu, Qi Ning would not care no matter what happened to this person-
