Xiao Chengyi glanced at him and said righteously: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late! Just wait. One day I will make the high priest pay the price for everything he has done today."
...
Nanyue.
Mu Yun'an's relatives, Luan Jia, had already entered the territory of Nanyue. After receiving the news, Xiao Jue arranged things in the court and planned to take people to welcome Mu Yun'an.
He had already assembled his team and was about to set off when he saw the housekeeper from the residence rushing over and said, "Your Highness, a pigeon just flew over and landed on the residence.
The servant looked like he was raised by the regent, so he was afraid that he had something important to do, so he took the letter without permission and sent it to His Highness."
With that said, he handed over an unopened letter.
After Xiao Jue took it, he opened it and took a look, but his expression suddenly changed. He said to the people behind him: "We won't leave today. You can go back and wait for my order."
With that said, he turned his horse's head and hurried to Shen's mansion.
Shen Chi was about to go out when he saw Xiao Jue, who was supposed to leave the capital, returning. He was a little surprised and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, why are you back again?"
Xiao Jue said: "I just received a letter from Shadow. The letter said that Xiao Chengyi did not meet them at the agreed time. Shadow went to the city to inquire about it and said that Xiao Chengyi might have been arrested by the high priest."
Shen Chi was stunned: "Didn't you say that the matter in southern Xinjiang has been resolved? Why did the high priest want to arrest Yi'er? Aren't they a cooperative relationship?"
He had received a letter from Xiao Chengyi earlier, saying that the matter in southern Xinjiang had been resolved, the antidote had been obtained, and they would leave for Beijing soon.
But in just a few days, why was Xiao Chengyi arrested?
Xiao Jue said: "I don't know either. In order to prevent Xiao Chengyi's identity from being exposed, the people he brought did not enter the city with him. No one knows what happened.
Shadow said that the high priest's palace is very tightly guarded, and the people they brought could not break in."
He was a little anxious: "What should we do now?"
Xiao Chengyi's life and death are unknown now, so he can't just ignore it, right?
Shen Chi didn't know what to do. He thought for a while and said, "Yier said before that he had reached a cooperation with the high priest. It makes no sense that the high priest would suddenly arrest him. There must be some reason for this.
I think Yi'er's life is not in danger, why don't we wait and see what happens in southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Jue understood what he meant: "You mean, the high priest in southern Xinjiang will send us a letter?"
Chen Chi nodded: "If this high priest really has an intention, he will definitely send us a message. You can send a message to Shadow to tell him not to act rashly."
"good."
Xiao Jue responded and said, "What should Princess Huihe do?"
He promised General Mu and Xiao Chengyi that they would personally go to greet Mu Yun'an, but if there is a letter from Southern Xinjiang, it must be a letter of credence. Now that his father has been poisoned and is delirious, all political affairs are handled by him. Take care of.
If he leaves, there will be no one to deal with the credentials.
Shen Chi said: "Yan Yan will be escorted by King Jing and nothing will happen. The most important thing right now is to wait for news from southern Xinjiang. At this time, it is better for His Highness to stay in the capital."
Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "That's all we can do. I'll write a letter to King Jing first." After saying that, he turned around and walked away in a hurry.
