Xie Jingchen was not angry at all. He stared at the other little guys with gentle eyes and said with a meaningful smile: "Although your mother brought me on board, I don't think it is a blessing. On the contrary, now I am the only one who brought me on board."
Only then can I take your mother back to Luyan Port."
Seeing him so arrogant and arrogant immediately aroused Chang Yanjue's vigilance.
The Xie family was a famous family in the previous dynasty. After the Qinghe Iron Cavalry took control of Jinling City, the nine most influential families who protected the previous dynasty retreated to Shita City together. It was based on this that the Xie family was established.
The Xie Dynasty has been secretly winning people's hearts under the slogan of regaining the foundation of the previous dynasty in recent years.
When he was an official in the court, he heard that the Xie royal family's intelligence organization was very large and sophisticated, and had penetrated almost half of the empire. It would not be a bad thing if he could use this as an opportunity to eliminate this force.
Although he has escaped from Jinling City now, it is indeed unpredictable as Prince Xie said whether he can return to Luyan Port safely.
It would be great if we could kill two birds with one stone, not only getting rid of this hidden force, but also allowing them to help provide cover and help the student, mother and son escape back to Luyan Port smoothly.
After thinking about it for a moment, his old eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of cunning. He looked at Xie Jingchen and smiled coldly: "Princess Pingning risked her own life to take Prince Xie out of danger. Now she is under suspicion. It can be said that she has already
She is the target of public criticism. I am afraid that the Qinghe dignitaries only dreamed of cutting her into pieces to relieve their hatred. Prince Xie knows how to repay his kindness, and he has lived up to Princess Pingning's kindness."
With that said, he asked Sang Qi to take the little guys back to the cabin first, and then continued to ask: "I wonder if Prince Xie has any clever ideas that can help us escape from danger?"
Xie Jingchen had mentioned to Chu Nanzhi about the secret spies under his command before and had no intention of hiding anything. At this time, he answered calmly: "I think Mr. Chang is very aware of the foundation of the Xie family in your country."
But before he finished speaking, Nie Huaian couldn't help but sneer: "It's not really a foundation, it's just some sinister rats who want to subvert our country."
"Ahem, Mr. Nie's words are too serious."
Chang Yanjue coughed deliberately: "It is common for countries to have disputes and to plant secret spies among them. Now that Prince Xie is in our court, how can we not make some preparations in advance?"
"What Old Master Chang said is absolutely true."
Xie Jingchen secretly looked at the silent Chu Nanzhi, and smiled slowly: "I am very grateful to Princess Meng Pingning for rescuing me. Now we are allies on the same ship. We should be honest with each other. I heard that King Qinghe wants to
If he wants to launch a mutiny, besides detaining Wang Pingning's family, he would naturally want to detain me in your country."
After a pause, he continued: "Now they don't know my whereabouts. I have ordered secret spies from all over to secretly gather at the border of Langzhou to assist me. Now Princess Pingning is doing the opposite.
Choosing to go south by water is a good idea, but it also involves many risks. I will let people know that I have secretly traveled from Yizhou to Langzhou. King Qinghe will definitely send someone to intercept me after learning about it."
"Good idea, that's it."
Chang Yanjue nodded happily: "Then I'd like to thank the prince."
After that, he and Nie Huaian looked at each other, and turned back to the cabin together with a comfortable expression.
"Are you really willing to sacrifice this force that your country has been operating in our country for many years?"
Chu Nanzhi knew that Chang Lao was deliberately trying to kill two birds with one stone. Now as a subject of the Dahe Empire, she naturally did not want the Baiyu people to infiltrate the empire.
But she wanted to start using him again, and she suddenly couldn't bear it.
After all, there are still many things that I am hiding from him right now.
"Mr. Chang's words are true, little Zhizhi, you are indeed the target of public criticism because of me."
Xie Jingchen was detained by her in the courtyard of the Zhao family. At present, she still had no way of knowing what happened in Jingling City last night. She didn't know that she was the princess who had been secretly investigated for many years by the Prince Ting'an's unborn child, so she only thought that she was more interested in it.
I had no choice but to leave Beijing.
Staring at Chu Nanzhi affectionately, Xie Jingchen was very moved and said affectionately: "Little Zhizhi, you have helped me out of danger many times. If it hadn't been for your help this time, I might have been imprisoned in Jinling City for life.
.”
"It's nothing more than a simple matter. Why should Prince Xie be so upset about it?"
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile.
"Stop being so modest about yourself."
Xie Jingchen waved his hand disapprovingly: "King Pingning has led the entire Pingning Prefecture Navy. If it weren't for me, King Qinghe would have treated you mother and son with great courtesy even if he had left you mother and son in the capital. He would not have dared to treat you lightly. That day you
It is said that there is someone in the palace who does not want me to make any mistakes, it must be the Empress Dowager, right?"
Without waiting for Chu Nanzhi to answer, he took up the topic and said to himself: "Although the Empress Dowager has a long-term vision and takes the overall situation into consideration, she should not let you take this risk for me. She clearly wants to
By using this to force you into her camp, you will offend the powerful people of Qinghe, so how can the King of Qinghe let you go?"
Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi was dumbfounded.
He and the Empress Dowager have long been in the same camp, so why force him?
It seems that this gang of secret spies are just drunkards, and the secret investigation has not found Lin Jinxiao's identity over the years.
Think about how this guy will feel when he learns his true identity in a few days.
Even if it wasn't for him, I still had to escape from Jinling City this time, and I would have become the target of public criticism.
But then I thought about it, if Xie Jingchen wants to achieve true peace between the two countries, he can only achieve it if Lin Jinxiao succeeds to the throne. Otherwise, according to Lin Jinke's temperament, it is difficult to predict how bloody the south will be in the future.
Thinking of this, she could only follow Xie Jingchen's words and reply: "Prince Xie is really smart. My humble husband and I have been deeply favored by your Majesty and our ancestors. She doesn't want to see the lives of the two countries in ruins. Even if I take some risks,
I am willing to take you out of Beijing on her behalf."
"Are you willing to go through fire and water just because of a word from the Empress Dowager?"
Xie Jingchen asked reluctantly.
She seemed to be teasing him every time, but in the end she helped him get out of danger, so he vaguely felt that little Zhizhi had a place for him in his heart.
Looking at his expectant eyes, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but be startled:
Could it be that he is also guilty of self-defeating?
Also afraid that he might misunderstand, Chu Nanzhi immediately reprimanded in a solemn voice: "Otherwise, if it weren't for the peace between the two countries, why would I take such a risk?"
"Well, you have always cared about the world. This is what I think makes you different from ordinary women."
Seeing that she was unwilling to reveal her true feelings, Xie Jingchen stopped pressing her.
Anyway, she saved him again this time, and Xie Jingchen couldn't express how happy he felt.
"Don't worry, no matter which way you choose to go south, my men and horses will definitely be able to drag the pursuing army for a while and a half, buying us more time."
Xie Jingchen's eyes were suddenly as clean and clear as a pool of clear water, and he smiled and warned: "Just feel free to arrange the route."
"Thank you."
With his words, Chu Nanzhi felt a lot more confident about the upcoming return journey.
