So he turned his horse's head and hurried to the Ministry of Punishment again, dripping with sweat.
It was empty again.
He stood in front of the criminal department, thinking whether to go to the palace or the Song Mansion, but Song Chunjing was no longer at home, so he chose to go to the palace.
Song House.
Li Chen stood at the door with an uncertain expression on his face.
The guard boy knelt on the ground, trembling.
Yan Zhen boldly stepped forward to persuade, "Why don't we come back at night."
Li Chen didn't move, Yan Zhen thought about it, "I'll go back and think about how to explain what happened last time. I'll come to pick up Mr. Song in the evening and explain it clearly."
Li Chen's handsome face was frozen.
At any rate, he held down his temper and didn't kill anyone.
He looked at the scene in the courtyard, and felt that it was unbelievably quiet.
It seemed to be really sleeping.
The little servant just wanted to send the big Buddha away, so he got up with limp hands and feet, ran in quickly, and ran out again after a while.
"Still sleeping." The boy cried.
Li Chen took a deep breath, turned around sullenly.
The boy saw that he was about to leave, but he didn't let go. Wu Da rode a horse and came from a distance, shouting: "Your Majesty!"
Wu Da had never backed so little before, and made three mistakes in a row.
Fortunately, the fourth place finally told him to come here just as Li Chen was about to leave.
"Your Majesty!" He got off his horse and saluted in a hurry, ignoring other things: "Physician Song is not at home at all, he has already left the city!"
Li Chen stopped immediately, but he didn't react when it happened suddenly.
On the surface, it seemed that he didn't hear Wu Da's words clearly.
Wu Da got up and stepped forward, saying decisively: "I have seen it with my own eyes."
"Where did you go?"
Wu Da looked at his gloomy face, swallowed "I don't know", and replied: "I went to the northwest with my pack, it seems to be going to a very far place."
Li Chen turned his head and glanced at the gatekeeper.
The boy didn't expect that a Uda rushed over from Henglu, and even told the truth, his legs went limp in fright, and he knelt on the ground.
Wu Da, who was panting anxiously, the servant who was trembling with fright, and Yan Zhen who was frowning, all looked at Li Chen.
His face immediately sank, his eyes were as dark as a deep pool, and the line of his lips was straightened.
It has been a long time since I saw this furious expression, Yan Zhen immediately knelt down, "The emperor calms down—"
The guards around him knelt down, and Wu Da knew from his expression that he didn't know the truth and was almost fooled.
He hurriedly said: "I have sent people to chase after Song Taiyi!"
But Li Chen's expression did not soften at all. The next moment, he took two steps forward and stretched out his hand brazenly, "Zheng——"
The thick knife from Uda's waist was pulled out, and the sword's sound made the scalp tingle.
Li Chen waved his hand back with a cold face, the sword energy blinked in front of the boy, and drew a two-inch deep sword mark in front of his prostrate hands.
The little servant screamed "Ah—" and backed away in panic, unconsciously getting wet under his body.
"Master Song told me!" He yelled frantically, "Ah! Lord Song told me to say this! Your Majesty, please spare me! It's Lord Song!"
After hearing what he said, Li Chen's face was full of storms, and the gully in his heart was hard to calm down for a while, he still half-raised the knife.
The sun condensed on the blade, and all the warmth was swallowed by the cold air, turning into murderous hostility.
Yan Zhen raised his head to see his expression and felt bad, he took two steps and hugged his thigh, "Your Majesty, don't kill him! If you do, I don't know how many quarrels will arise with Master Song in the future!"
Wu Da was reminded, stepped forward and said anxiously: "The minister has summoned the guards of the Eastern Palace, should we chase now?"
Li Chen recalled Song Chunjing's low mood recently, and his often dazed expression, thinking: You only went to the General's Mansion yesterday, but you left without saying a word today, is it because of the General's Mansion?Want to find Shen Huan?Even if it's for Shen Huan, why are you running?
His hand holding the knife was not loose, his face was sullen and full of murderous intent, and the profile of his face showed a rigid three-dimensional line because it was too tight.
Wu Da looked at Yan Zhen, and Yan Zhen's forehead was full of sweat, but he didn't dare to persuade him any more.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked tentatively again: "Your Majesty?"
Li Chen smiled slightly, but his eyes didn't move at all, the temperature inside was still freezing.
Why deliberately hide it from me?
he thinks.
The tightly closed lips finally loosened, and he whispered out a word: "Chasing."
Yan Zhen immediately got up to lead the horse, Li Chen took the horse and turned on his back!
The strong lines of the waist and back immediately stretched out, the sense of strength was very impressive, and even the hem of the clothes raised a sharp, majestic, and murderous arc, and with a "pop!", it fell heavily on the horse.
Li Chen's face was cold, black puddles of ink brewed in his eyes.
He stared at the road ahead with a horrifying expression, and flicked the rein with one hand, the steed galloped away with a neighing sound, and the moment it fell, he clamped the horse's belly again, and the black and strong lion horse erupted with great strength in an instant, with four hooves Fly away like flying!
There were a lot of people traveling on the westbound road, Song Chunjing walked for about a stick of incense before he realized that someone was following him.
But he is one of the best horses in ten thousand, and he is so brave that it is difficult to catch up for a while.
He knew who it was at a rough thought, but he didn't know if there was the emperor himself in it.
According to inference, there should be none, at most there should be Uda.
It was beyond his expectation that Uda could react so quickly.
There is a high probability that he has already gone back to inform Li Chen.
There was an endless stream of traders coming and going, and he crossed countless crowds and walked all the way to Xiliangkou.
This was originally an official road for transporting grain to the northwest and other frontiers. This fork was originally called Xiliangkou. Because it was abandoned for a long time, it was reluctantly repaired and turned into a commercial road. The old trees cover the sky and the sun, so it is called Xiliangkou.
Standing in the middle, the roads in the three directions of west, south and north suddenly appear in front of you, all extending flat and swaying into the distance.
There are more people on the west side, and there are more inns on the way. Go west all the way to Yushuguan, and then go north; the north side is much more difficult because of the lower temperature as the weather goes north. You have to go to the northernmost Shacheng. Then go west, all the way straight to the side camp.
The road in the south runs in the opposite direction. To go to the northwest, you have to go around in a big circle.
Song Chunjing looked at the sky, lifted the reins, and headed north.
A moment later, a group of steeds with strong legs and strong hooves came galloping, and the well-trained guards on the horses reined in the horses after arriving here.
The city defense battalion commander throws a blood bead every [-] meters, which is specially made by Donggong with gel, which is rainproof and crushing resistant, and is a sharp weapon for marking.
He forgot to glance towards the north, flipped his hand, and dropped two blood beads.
In fact, Song Chunjing was no longer visible, so he could only rely on inferences, subtle changes in passers-by, and horseshoe marks on the ground to bite the bullet and track him down.
Song Chunjing's horse was specially offered in Luoyang. The horse's hooves were meticulously carved, perfectly and exquisitely carved on the ground, obviously profound.
There are slightly fewer people on the wide road to the north, so there are more people on horseback riding fast.
Taking advantage of the horseshoe marks on the ground, the battalion commander didn't dare to stay for a moment and ran northward with a group of guards.
After about half a stick of incense, a young man ushered in at this fork in the business road.
This person was riding a dark brown tall horse, wearing a dark cloak, and wearing an ordinary hat, and his face could not be seen clearly while he was running fast.
Although the attire is clean and neat, it is not much different from the pedestrians on the road, and it is not very conspicuous.
The young man reined in his horse at the fork, and the large shadow cast by the bamboo hat covered his entire face, casting a slanted shape on his chest.
The face in the shadows was tall and handsome, and the corners of the slightly raised eyes set off the coldness of the whole face, like a cold killer.
He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, then pulled the rein cautiously, and ran south in the opposite direction from just now!
Driving southward against the wind, the wind blew his black hair, and lifted the hem of his clothes, which had been deliberately concealed, to reveal the dark mahogany medicine box hanging on the outside of the horse and covered by his coat and cloak.
City gate.
The enthronement ceremony is imminent, and officials from all over the country are arriving one after another. Today should be the day when the prefects from all the places come.
According to the ancestral system, all major officials in the capital, ranging from the three princes and six prime ministers to the officials of the third rank and above, should be greeted at the gate of the city, so as to promote the new appearance of Haiyan Heqing, who understands etiquette and abides by the law in Beijing.
The sun was just right, the sky was not cloudy at all, and the blue light was bright and bright.
Every move at Chengguan is clearly reflected in people's eyes under the sunlight.
Li Chen rode his horse to the city gate, just in time for the noise of people in front of him, all the officials from other places arrived one after another.
"The governor of Shandong has arrived—"
"The prefect of Luoyang has arrived—"
"Hangzhou Admiral and Zhizhou has arrived—"
With the sound of singing and reporting one after another, the officials guarding the door all stepped forward and asked kindly: "How was your journey?"
"Is it safe on the road?"
"Everything is in order in Beijing, and the accommodation has already been prepared..."
"Hiss——" Li Chen yanked the rein violently on his horse, and the tall horse raised its front hooves while neighing, and Wu Da shouted loudly behind him: "The predecessors avoided—"
Except for Zhao Yicai, all the six ministers were present, they were a group of old guys, they were frightened by the figure of the big horse, his face changed with horror, and he almost pulled away.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said "Your Majesty!" before he could say it, the exclamation got stuck in his throat.
Because Li Chen pulled the turned horse's head back with a blank expression, without looking at the group of people, his strong thighs clamped the horse's belly tightly, and the horse ran up two steps, bent its legs, and jumped!
The gigantic monster roared and flew over the heads of the crowd.
This is a rare sight. Dozens of officials hurriedly avoided the scene, bending over and protecting their heads, and the scene was full of noise.
Wu Da followed closely and didn't dare to stop, "My lords, the emperor was going to welcome you all, but there was an accident in the outskirts of the camp, so I had to go there first!"
The foreign officials were flattered and hurriedly knelt down to send them off.
All the officials in the capital looked at each other, with the same doubts in their eyes: they had never heard of anything that would be greeted by the royal family in person.
But it’s fine if you ask yourself if you look at each other and shake your head. If you are a family of officials in Beijing, those who come from other places are considered outsiders, and it is absolutely impossible to tell outsiders.
The officials watched the emperor and the commander of the imperial army ride away on horseback. The old fritters reacted and laughed at this episode: "The emperor is young hahaha, he likes to do everything by himself..."
"That's right," the foreign official sighed with relief, "It's really a blessing that I waited for the day when the imperial driver personally greeted me as an old minister..."
"It's not too late, you go to the city to rest!"
No one knew what the other party was thinking under the joyous atmosphere, all of them were beating drums in their hearts, maintaining the calm on the surface, "You have to work and you have to work."
It was empty again.
He stood in front of the criminal department, thinking whether to go to the palace or the Song Mansion, but Song Chunjing was no longer at home, so he chose to go to the palace.
Song House.
Li Chen stood at the door with an uncertain expression on his face.
