In fact, it only took more than a day to get from the border town to the imperial capital. Of course, compared to ordinary people, Jiuer and the others were indeed several times faster.
However, in ancient times, there were no trains or cars. The most you could do was ride on horseback.
It took more than a day to reach the most central area of the imperial capital. It can be seen that the border of Yuhe country is really not big.
Judging from the topographic map, it is at most the area of two Phoenix cities.
In the evening of the second day, Jiu'er and the others arrived at the imperial capital and finally met Xing Zizhou.
"I'm darker and thinner, but I look stronger." Feng Jiuer stared at Xing Zizhou, who had changed his appearance with a beard, and smiled faintly, "Life is not easy."
"It's really not easy to hide here." Xing Zizhou took off his hat and beard, and without further ado, gave an overview of the situation on the second prince's side and Feng Jiu'er.
Before, he had met the second prince with the ninth prince's token.
The second prince also agreed that as long as he could persuade King Yanhe, he would personally go out of the city to negotiate with the Ninth Prince's army and sign a peace agreement.
Although the Ninth Prince did not know about this, the second prince also saw the token and thought that Xing Zizhou was sent by the Ninth Prince.
However, for Jiu'er, it is not difficult to convince Jiuhuangshu. Jiuhuangshu had never thought of fighting this battle.
But the current question is, how can we convince King Yanhe?
But just when Xing Zizhou and the second prince were planning to discuss further, Xing Zizhou's residence was raided by the eldest prince's men, and Xing Zizhou almost fell into the hands of the eldest prince.
He could only disguise himself and hide away. Unexpectedly, he heard the news about the second prince's accident the next night.
According to Xing Zizhou, the meeting between him and the second prince on behalf of the Ninth Prince must have been known to the eldest prince, and the eldest prince acted preemptively and designed to frame the second prince.
Then, they wanted to get rid of the Ninth Prince's people, so even Xing Zizhou was now wanted by the eldest prince's people.
"Who is the concubine who was designed to have a tryst with the second prince? Where is she now?" Feng Jiuer asked.
"That is King Yanhe's favorite concubine in the past two years. I don't know the details yet. I have no chance to see the second prince during this period."
The royal scandal will not really be spread everywhere, at least it will be reserved.
The reason why Xing Zizhou heard the news about the second prince's accident was because the eldest prince deliberately spread the news in order to completely collapse the second prince's power.
After learning that something happened to the second prince, many of the important ministers who had previously been neutral or supportive of the second prince turned to the eldest prince. This is where the rumors left.
Once a message is disseminated, whether it is true or false, it will have a certain impact on the hearts of the people.
As a result, it will be much more difficult for the second prince to inherit the throne in the future.
All in all, the news about the second prince's accident was deliberately spread by the eldest prince, but now that the situation has reached this point, even if King Yanhe knew that the scandal was spread by the eldest prince, he could not do anything even if he was unhappy.
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? The most important thing is that for King Yanhe, he truly believed that his second son was living alone with his most beloved concubine.
Even Xing Zizhou didn't know the specific situation. It seemed that this time, he really had to get in touch with the second prince before the follow-up matters could proceed.
"Master, are you planning to break into the Second Prince's Mansion at night?" Xing Zizhou probably also saw what Feng Jiuer was thinking.
Jiu'er nodded, and Xing Zizhou was a little worried: "Now the second prince's mansion is full of masters inside and outside, and they are all arranged by the eldest prince."
"Now the eldest prince still misses a trace of brotherhood with the second prince. As long as the second prince doesn't do anything excessive, he probably won't kill the second prince."
"However, the eldest prince is also afraid that the second prince's party may re-emerge, so he personally sends people to guard the second prince's mansion to prevent anyone from going there."
"I understand what you mean." Jiu'er nodded and looked at Xue Gu.
Xue Gu has always been quiet. She would only explain her point of view when Jiu'er came to her: "I can go and explore the truth first."
"Okay, but you must not act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy."
"I'll go now." Although it will be easier to move after nightfall, the defense will also become tighter.
So in fact, there is not much difference between going during the day and going at night. Movement during the day is inconvenient, but the guards are not that strict.
Jiu'er nodded and watched Xue Gu leave.
If Xue Gu goes alone, her chances of getting out unscathed are much higher than others.
Xing Zizhou's information is well-informed, but when it comes to martial arts, he is far inferior to Xue Gu.
Among Jiu'er's subordinates, Qiao Mu's martial arts is currently the best, but he is not as good as Xue Gu, let alone Xing Zizhou.
"You guys go and rest for a while first. We'll talk about everything after Xue Gu comes back." Jiu'er waved his hand.
After working on the road for two days and one night, we only rested for more than an hour. Everyone was tired.
Qiao Mu was not pretentious. After handing over his hand, he left immediately and found a place to rest by himself.
Little Cherry also nodded and left.
Seeing Xing Zizhou's eyes following Little Cherry, Jiu'er said, "You should go and have a rest first, as long as no one finds us here."
"Okay." Xing Zizhou nodded and went out eagerly.
We haven't seen each other for many days, and now that we are seeing each other again, I realize how much I miss you, but the way that girl looks at me is so clear that she doesn't mean anything at all.
Even Jiu'er could see her longing, why was she the only one who couldn't see it?
Xing Zizhou's place is one of a kind in a courtyard house in a busy city. There is a small courtyard in the house, which is not big, but enough for the few of them to live.
The other residents of this courtyard are either old people or children. There are also women and strong men who have been sent to fight. Everyone gets along harmoniously here.
As for Xing Zizhou, he pretended to be the old resident, but no one could recognize him.
After Qiao Mu went out, he really found a small room at random. When he saw the bed, he fell down and fell asleep.
When Little Cherry came out, she had already entered the room. Little Cherry actually couldn't find where Qiao Mu was for a while. When she turned around, she saw Xing Zizhou standing behind her.
"Shh." Xing Zizhou made a gesture to silence her and led her into another room.
"I'm here, pretending to be the original resident, and that resident was sent away by me."
Xing Zizhou closed the door and stared at Little Cherry pretending to be a man. He walked over and suddenly reached out to untie her bun, and her long hair fell down smoothly.
"Here, there can only be women, not young men. Your dress is too eye-catching."
