391 Ji family, the emperor's grandson to the dragon son
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were talking and laughing all the way. Although they were not sweet, they were definitely harmonious, but they were happy that the people in the capital were suffering...
Early the next morning, news of Qin Jiyan's attack and disappearance reached the capital. After the old emperor received the news, he almost lost his breath before leaving.
After receiving the news, King Zhao and King Zhou repeatedly issued orders to enter the palace to attend to the old emperor's illness, but the old emperor would never give them a chance. With a wave of his hand, he told King Zhao and King Zhou to stop making trouble and think about their mistakes at home. Don't fight if they shouldn't.
He's not dead yet.
After hearing this, King Zhao and King Zhou were so angry that they almost rushed into the palace with swords, killed the old emperor, and then became emperors themselves.
The old emperor had been the emperor for so long that both King Zhao and King Zhou could no longer bear it.
They are very young, and they managed to kill the prince's eldest brother, and now the whereabouts of the prince's son are unknown, but the father has always dominated the position and refused to die!
Even if their father does not die, their sons and nephews will grow up one by one, each one eyeing the throne, and the pressure on them is really great.
The emperor asked King Zhao and King Zhou to think about it at home, but how could they really think about it? It was their fault that Qin Jiyan was ambushed and killed outside the city. Don't blame them for their courage. It was only Qin Jiyan's fault when he first left the capital.
The defense will not be too high.
After all, no one would have thought that they would have the guts to attack Qin Jiyan as soon as he left the city.
Everything was planned well. In order to kill Qin Jiyan, King Zhao and King Zhou even exposed the spies buried beside Qin Jiyan, but...
In the end, Qin Jiyan escaped, and now even a trace can't be found.
King Zhao and King Zhou would not miss this opportunity. Although they did not discuss it in advance, they had a tacit understanding on killing Qin Jiyan. King Zhao and King Zhou sent their subordinates to look for Qin Jiyan one after another, and then...
Let Qin Jiyan die in an "accident" like the previous prince. If his body was eaten by wild beasts like the previous prince, it can only mean that his life was not good.
As soon as the news of Qin Jiyan's disappearance reached the capital, several people from the capital secretly set out to find Qin Jiyan to protect him, some to assassinate him, and others such as the Feng family to look for Gu Qiancheng.
I am afraid that only the Feng family and the Yan family think of Gu Qiancheng at this time. As for the Gu family, which was renamed Hou Mansion, they have no idea where Gu Qiancheng has gone. If they know that Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan have disappeared together, they will only
Just clap your hands and pray that Gu Qiancheng dies outside.
The fifth prince was also ready to take advantage of this opportunity to gain favor with the old emperor. It would be great if he could take the opportunity to replace Qin Jiyan's position in the old emperor's heart.
However, before the fifth prince took action, he received a message from "Xiaoyao". "Xiaoyao" seemed to know what the fifth prince was thinking, and sent a message to the fifth prince specifically, telling him not to act rashly, otherwise he would be exposed in front of the old emperor.
Ambition, he has no hope anymore.
The fifth prince's heart trembled. Although he regretted missing the good opportunity, he understood that "Xiaoyao" was right and had no choice but to restrain his ambition.
Donglin Academy
A servant in gray clothes walked up behind Jing Yan and whispered: "Master, everything goes well. King Qin took Miss Gu to Xihu."
"Yeah." Jing Yan responded, waving his hand to signal the people behind him to step back.
In the afternoon of that day, Jing Yan went to the dean of Donglin Academy and told him that he planned to move out of Donglin Academy and find a thatched hut in the mountains to study hard and prepare for the upcoming scientific examination.
The dean repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Jing Yan had already decided to leave. The dean had no choice but to say: "You are welcome to come to Donglin Academy at any time, and I will always reserve the dean where you live for you."
Jing Yan thanked him again and again, and left Donglin Academy with his scholar the next day. He found a deserted place outside the city, had someone build a thatched hut, and then lived there.
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng traveled day and night, and finally arrived at the border of Xihu and Dongling at the beginning of winter.
Before Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng entered the border town, they deliberately changed their clothes. They abandoned their horses and took a carriage, carrying more than a dozen carts of tea and silk, pretending to be masters and servants on a business trip.
Qin Jiyan changed his name to Ji Yan, claiming to be a branch of the Ji family of Great Qin, and came to Xihu to make a living. The Ji family is quite famous in Great Qin, but the family is not in the capital, and the Ji family is not an official. The Ji family only engages in business, with shops all over the world. .
After handing the fake road signs and fake identity certificates prepared in advance to the city gate officials for inspection, the two of them successfully entered the border town with the goods, exchanged the documents that afternoon, and headed to Xihu with the goods prepared in advance the next day. border town.
The border town was not Qin Jiyan's destination. The person Qin Jiyan wanted to see was in Xihu Capital, so the two of them ran to Xihu Capital without stopping.
Ordinarily, if an ordinary businessman comes to a foreign country with a valuable horse, he will definitely encounter robbery or something. Even if the security in Xihu is good and there are no bandits, the government will not let him go so smoothly, right?
When such a big businessman comes, the government will always have to scrape off a layer of oil, but...
Qin Jiyan seemed to have a good time in Xihu. No matter which town he went to, the local officials did not embarrass Qin Jiyan. There were even several parents and officials who sent troops to escort Qin Jiyan to the next town.
The weird atmosphere made Gu Qiancheng embarrassed. Gu Qiancheng wanted to ask more than once: Is it really the King of Zhou who colluded with Xihu and not Qin Jiyan?
Fortunately, this unusual treatment was broken in the capital.
As soon as Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng entered the city, they were surrounded by officers and soldiers before they could find a place to stay. Gu Qiancheng looked at Qin Jiyan silently with a puzzled look on his face. Qin Jiyan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
At this moment, a man in his twenties, dressed in rich clothes, walked up to Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng, surrounded by guards.
The man in the rich clothes looked arrogant and had an arrogant attitude. He looked at the person with his chin and said, "Are you a boy from the Ji family? I've taken a liking to your goods. Come here and drag them all away for me, the prince."
This prince?
Gu Qiancheng was stunned and looked at Qin Jiyan again, asking with his eyes who this guy was? Why is he so arrogant?
Qin Jiyan shook his head and said he didn't know this person, but...
A prince from a small country dares to shout in front of him?
What something!
Qin Jiyan didn't wait for the guards to take action and said coldly: "Stop!"
Qin Jiyan obviously didn't speak loudly, but the guards were stunned. For some reason, they didn't dare to step forward. They all froze in the middle, not knowing whether they should return it or grab it.
"Stop? What are you doing? How dare you let this prince live? Are you impatient?" The man in the attire got angry and jumped to his feet: "Why are you still standing there? Get this prince's things back." , this is what I, the prince, want to do to honor my father, and anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
The last three words were bitten very hard, and the fierce gaze was directed at Qin Jiyan, full of threats.
Qin Jiyan couldn't help but sneer: Xihu's stupid prince, he was looking for something to do, but he didn't expect this stupid prince to show up at his door, so he's not rude...
