The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Chang'an saw Duanmu Chen sitting quietly and meditating for a long time, so he broke the silence and asked, "Master, are you okay?"

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "It's okay." As he said that, he looked through the window and looked at the sky outside. It had been gloomy from morning to now, as if it was going to rain, but it didn't.

The air was a bit stuffy, Duanmu Chen stood up, breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the window, his back to Chang'an, "Is there anything going on in the palace?"

Chang An shook his head, "The imperial concubine did not send any news. There has been no news since the eldest prince entered the palace. The second prince's palace is preparing for a funeral."

"Su Liang and Xing Ji should have set off by now. I knew she wouldn't come to say goodbye to me." Duanmu Chen hummed.

Chang'an was stunned for a moment, "The time is urgent, and at this time, it is not convenient for Miss Su to come during the day."

"I know." Duanmu Chen nodded, "Even if she can come, she won't come, so it doesn't matter. When I made friends with her in Bei'an County, I didn't expect that things would turn out like this."

Chang'an was a little confused as to what Duanmu Chen was thinking, when he saw the corners of his lips curl up and he laughed, "Everything went incredibly smoothly!"

Chang'an also smiled, "Yes! Maybe in the next two days, the emperor will issue a decree to confer the title of prince on the master."

Duanmu Chen smiled and said nothing, obviously he was well aware of this.

After deposing two legitimate princes at once, it was his turn.

"Marquis Zhongxin and General Lin and Miss Su's journey north will definitely not go smoothly. Now that things have happened, even if they act secretly, they can't avoid the sight of the Wan family." Chang'an sighed.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "I believe in Su Liang. Xing Ji is not in the pool. It's not just me who is betting, but my father is also betting. It is a matter of time to abolish the Wan family. The later it gets, the harder it will be. We can't delay it any longer."

Already."

"My subordinates also think that if Miss Su goes, things will be done." Chang'an said, "But will the eldest prince really be executed by the emperor?"

Duanmu Chen snorted, "How is that possible? After all, he is the father's biological son. He will not take the initiative to kill him. He also has to worry about the Queen Mother. At this juncture, if Duanmu Sheng is really dead, Wan Shi might jump over the wall in a panic.

.As long as my father takes back the military power from the Wan family, Duanmu Sheng will be completely abolished and he will not be able to make any waves while he is alive."

"By the way, the fifth prince left the palace and returned to his residence today." Chang An suddenly mentioned.

After Duanmu Chen was briefly surprised, he sneered three times, "Speaking of the relationship with Su Liang, Duanmu Che should be closer than me. At the beginning, I was worried that Su Liang would be attracted by him. As long as he is willing to have a good relationship with Su

When we get along with Liang, Su Liang will definitely turn to him because of the grace of saving his life. I never expected that Duanmu Che would be so stupid and forcefully become enemies with Su Liang."

"My subordinates can't understand what the fifth prince is thinking," Chang'an said.

Duanmu Chen snorted coldly, "He? He's just arrogant. Ever since he was a child, his father would satisfy him whatever he wanted. I didn't see it in the past. It was because he had been sick and had no energy to be angry. Su Liang treated him

Well, he started to feel restless."

Chang'an clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly, "I hope everything will go well and that the master will be able to sit on the throne of the prince as soon as possible."

…

Su Liang and his party have just set off.

Qi Jiang went ahead to arrange the next meal and accommodation, but had not yet met Qi Jun, who was pretending to be Ning Jing. Xing Ji only glanced at him and didn't pay much attention.

"Did Brother Lin go to say goodbye to Yu Jin?" Su Liang asked.

Lin Bojun nodded and said, "I'm going." After saying this, he sighed deeply.

Both the Lin family and the Qin family were very worried about Lin Bojun's trip, but they could not violate the holy will and he had to go.

Qin Yujin gave Lin Bojun the jade pendant she wore close to her body and made him swear that he would come back safely.

As soon as he thought about it, Lin Bojun felt warm on his chest against the jade pendant, but his heart felt sour.

Looking back at the darkened capital, Lin Bojun withdrew his gaze and looked north, "I will definitely come back soon to marry her!"

Su Liang rode up to catch up with Xing Ji, "Uncle Xing, I have an idea."

Xing Ji nodded, "You say it!"

"The Wan family will definitely send someone to inform General Wan Shan in Northern Xinjiang as quickly as possible about our journey north. We are going together, and we will inevitably encounter obstacles. By the time we get there, something unexpected has happened." Su

Liang Zhengse said.

"What do you think?" Xing Ji asked.

Su Liang said bluntly, "Why don't we divide our troops into two groups, act secretly along the way, and rush to the north first to stabilize the situation."

"I'll go!" Lin Bojun said immediately.

Xing Ji frowned, pulled the reins of the horse, slowed down, looked at Su Liang and asked, "Are you going to leave first?"

Su Liang nodded, "Well. Since I have accepted such an important task, I have to find a way to complete it. If it fails, it will not only be a matter of merit and guilt, but I am afraid things will change."

She spoke very bluntly, but it was all true.

Xing Ji pondered for a moment, "I've thought about it too, but there's no suitable person to do it. In that case, I'll leave first, and you and Bo Jun will rush over later. How about that?"

"I know it's okay for Uncle Xing to go, but leave it to me." Su Liang insisted.

Lin Bojun sighed, "I also promised my father and little sister to take good care of Xiaoliang, why do I have to let you rush to the front again?"

Su Liang hummed, "If you don't agree, I have to suspect that you are discriminating against me because I am a woman."

Xing Ji and Lin Bojun were dumbfounded. Of course they believed in Su Liang's strength and intelligence, but they really didn't think about letting her take the lead.

"Yourself..." Xing Ji relaxed, but still hesitated.

"Qi Jun"'s voice came from behind Su Liang, "I am also a human being."

"Xiao Qi is going with me." Su Liang said with a smile, "We have known each other for a long time, and I have someone to look after me on the way. When I get back, I have to treat Prince Xing to a drink. I want to thank him for being so considerate and sending me a helper."

After Su Liang said this, Xing Ji nodded, "In that case, I will do as you say. Bring the imperial edict monk Fang's sword with you and take it out if it is useful."

Su Liang refused, "It's too heavy and will slow down my speed."

Xing Ji:...Is such a strange reason okay?

"I'm going alone. If nothing happens, I won't show up. Even if something happens, I can't do anything openly and leave clues. So it's really useless. Just pay attention to your safety and catch up as soon as possible. You'll know when the time comes.

Apply pressure and I will help secretly." Su Liang said.

Xing Ji didn’t insist anymore.

Now that we have decided, we will separate at the intersection ahead.

"Ajun, you must take good care of Su Liang!" Xing Ji looked serious.

Ning Jing nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, my subordinates will protect Miss Su Zhouquan with their lives!"

This was what the real Qi Jun would say, and Su Liang felt weird hearing it. It wasn't that Ningjing wouldn't protect her with all his strength, it was just that he was as powerful as Ningjing, and there was no situation where he needed to be desperate.

"Don't be rash, nothing will happen to you." Xing Ji said "Qi Jun".

Lin Bojun repeatedly told Su Liang not to work too hard. If you get into trouble, take care of yourself first.

"Actually, you are the ones who are in danger." Su Liang said calmly, "I hid and they couldn't find me, so what are I afraid of? I'll say goodbye and see you in Xuanbei City!"

After saying this, Su Liang took "Qi Jun" and turned into a remote fork in the road. In the blink of an eye, no one was seen.

Xing Ji, Lin Bojun and their party soon continued on their way.

When he saw Qi Jiang again, he was a little surprised that his son had not come over. Hearing Xing Ji talk about the whole story, he sighed and said, "That's fine." There was unavoidable concern for his son in his words, but he didn't say anything else.

…

Su Liang's proposal to act alone was an agreement she and Ning Jing reached soon after they left home.

For both public and private purposes, this is the safest thing to do.

If they really go with Xing Ji and Qi Jiang, it is difficult to guarantee that Qi Jiang will not discover the flaws in Ning Jing. After all, he is Qi Jun's biological father, and Ning Jing's understanding of Qi Jun is limited, and maybe he is some Qi Jun's whom they have never seen.

Habits or actions will expose him.

It's not a big deal just to reveal your disguise and change your identity.

But in case of trouble, if Ning Jing takes action and displays extremely strong martial arts, people will inevitably doubt his identity and the purpose of hiding his strength.

Lin Bojun knew it. But Xing Ji, who was extremely shrewd, discovered that Ning Jing was hiding something secretly. If he had guessed that he was pretending to be Ning Jing, he might not be able to connect him with Gu Ling.

Not very good, and unnecessary.

Ning Jing didn't want to pretend to be someone else all the time and couldn't even talk to Su Liang normally.

With the breeze blowing on his face, Su Liang rode quickly and said with a smile, "I have been in the capital for a few months. When I came out today, I suddenly felt like I had regained my freedom."

"Then don't go back." Ning Jing said.

"No. I want to drink some glasses of wedding wine. Duanmu Sheng is not dead yet, so it's not over." Su Liang said.

Destroying the Wan family is also what must be done to completely destroy Duanmu Sheng.

The weather has turned warm, and Ning Jing, who has been to Xuanbei City, said that they changed horses midway and traveled day and night. It would take eight days at the fastest to arrive.

"You lead the way and walk as quickly as possible. Find time to rest during the day and replenish dry food." Su Liang said.

To rest at night, you have to find a place to stay warm and sheltered from the wind, which is not that convenient.

Tingjing has no objection.

Their personalities are the type that they either don’t do something or do their best to do it well.

Work harder first. The sooner you get to Xuanbei City, the easier it will be to control the situation later.
