Chapter 443
Su Manrong and others, who had just put on their equipment and were about to leave on their motorcycles, had no choice but to quickly unload their equipment and go to the city gate to receive the order.
"Madam, Erjiu is willing to go out of the city to receive the order on your behalf."
Erjiu ran down from the city wall in a hurry and came to Su Manrong with a worried look on his face.
It would be too dangerous for my wife to leave Qianzhou at this time and be exposed to General Zhu's army.
"It doesn't matter. If the third prince doesn't ascend the throne, he won't dare to be so arrogant."
Su Manrong shook her head, she was wearing a body armor.
Coupled with such a long distance, ordinary bows and arrows cannot shoot here.
Besides, if there was really any danger, she would disappear in an instant.
Exposed and died, she naturally chose to be exposed.
Even if everyone knows that she can play tricks on her, so what?
Eleven and Yili followed Su Manrong, and the three of them walked out of the small city gate.
The official delivering the decree was sitting on a horse, with a carriage behind him...
Su Manrong frowned slightly. In the past, the person delivering the orders was always fixed. Why is there an extra carriage today?
If Emperor Dekang wanted Qianzhou to hand over Xiao Chengxian, then the imperial edict would just be issued to General Zhu Guo.
But this imperial edict is for her...
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict and ordered the Lord of Jinghua City to set off immediately to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
"I...accept the order."
Su Manrong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. No matter what Emperor Dekang and the Queen wanted to do, at least at this moment, they still believed in Xiao Chengxian.
Otherwise, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dies, it is possible that with their grief and anger, they will issue an order to crush Qianzhou.
But they only need to enter the palace by themselves... She happened to be preparing to go to Dekang. Now there is no need to take a detour. With the blessing of the imperial edict, they can go on their way openly.
"Jinghua City Lord, please wait a moment."
The official who delivered the decree nodded, then rode his horse to the front of General Zhu's team and promulgated another imperial edict.
"General Zhu Guo led his troops to leave Dekang without authorization, and surrounded Qianzhou, the fiefdom of Dekang. He acted arrogantly, and specially took back the Tiger Talisman and handed it over to the Lord of Jinghua City for safekeeping.
General Zhu Guo was fined with a salary of half a year. After returning to Dekang, he reflected at home and was not allowed to go out unless summoned."
The issuing official recited this imperial edict without mercy in front of so many soldiers, which greatly disgraced General Zhu Guo's face.
"Your Majesty! It is for the sake of Dekang that I sent troops to pursue the rebel Xiao Chengxian."
General Zhu Guo looked northeast, his face full of grievances, but his heart was full of unwillingness.
Emperor Dekan was so sick that he dared to take back his tiger talisman and ask him to reflect at home?
It seems that the third prince's ascension to the throne must be speeded up.
Dekandi should die too...
"General Zhuguo, please hand over the tiger talisman now, so as not to delay the Lord of Jinghua City from entering the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."
The official who issued the paper held the imperial edict, urging General Zhu Guo, who was unwilling but had to obey the order, to hand over the tiger talisman.
He rode his horse to Su Manrong, handed over the tiger talisman respectfully, and said in a low voice: "City Lord, there is a distinguished guest on the carriage who wants to chat with you and accompany you on the road."
"Okay, I will first give the order to the deputy general to arrange the troops, and then I will come to see the distinguished guest."
Su Manrong probably also thought about who was in the carriage. Emperor Dekang was seriously ill, and with Concubine Chun and Third Brother pressing closer, there was no way he could leave Dekang.
Since it's not Emperor Dekan, then it's the Empress...
She knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not burned to death, but the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and Xiao Chengxian were unknown, and their lives were uncertain. She didn't know how she should face a mother who suffered an unexpected blow to her child...
"Vice General Chen listens to the order. You will act on the general's behalf and lead all the soldiers to rest outside Qianzhou for one day before setting off for Dekang.
General Zhuguo, Your Majesty has ordered you to reflect at home, so please come with us to Dekang."
After Su Manrong said that, he took back the tiger talisman. Eleven and Yiliu stepped forward and carried General Zhu Guo aside, who was seriously injured and could not resist.
In Qianzhou City, the moment they heard the imperial edict, the Forty-Nine and others changed their motorcycles into horse-drawn carriages and had already arrived outside the city gate.
General Zhu Guo was thrown into the carriage, and Yi Ling was responsible for watching him.
Eleven was driving the carriage that Su Manrong was going to ride in, but at this time Su Manrong had already boarded the distinguished guest's carriage, and the group of people moved quickly in the direction of Dekang.
"See the Queen."
After Su Manrong got into the car, she blessed herself and saluted.
"Lord Jinghua City, you don't have to be so polite to me. You must be feeling the same as me right now, you are in pain.
I don't believe that Xiao Chengxian would hurt the prince, and you don't believe that Xiao Chengxian would rebel.
But now the whereabouts of the two of them are unknown, His Majesty is seriously ill and his time is short, and Concubine Chun is watching eagerly.
I am entrusted by His Majesty because I am a helpless act as a mother."
The Queen's face had turned extremely ugly, and it could be seen that she was also holding on.
If she falls and the court becomes chaotic, His Royal Highness may never come back.
"My husband went to Dekang this time for the sake of Dekang's empire and for the people to live a stable life.
Thank you, Your Majesty and the Queen, for trusting us as a couple. I will definitely do my best to find my husband and His Royal Highness."
Su Manrong nodded, she could understand the intentions of the Queen and Emperor Dekan.
They are not only the parents of His Royal Highness, but also the parents of all people in the world.
If something happens to the prince, they should not only be sad and worried for the prince, but also consider the safety of the entire Dekang people.
"Do you have any ideas, Lord Jinghua City?"
When the Queen saw Su Manrong being so calm, she also adjusted her mentality accordingly.
Being sick and sick will not make the prince come back. She must be more sensible like Su Manrong and try her best to find a solution.
"Before General Zhu's army arrived, a wizard came to Qianzhou. We followed the clues and tortured him to confess. It was Ming'an, the new king of the Hara tribe, who sent him here.
I think the Hara tribe wanted to take advantage of the chaos. They took away the husband and the prince, creating the illusion that the husband was rebellious, causing civil strife in Dekang and reaping the benefits.
If this is really the case, then Ming'an should still be hiding in Dekang at this time. This will make it easier to build up momentum. Otherwise, it would be too time-consuming and laborious to fight from Hara to Dekang.
But all this is just my conjecture, I wonder if the Queen has any other opinions?"
Su Manrong had tried her best to calm down, and she analyzed everything rationally.
But if Ming'an really wants to seize the throne, then in addition to the threat of His Royal Highness, he also has General Zhuguo and his third elder brother.
But looking at General Zhuguo being so rampant, at least it proves that the Hara tribe has not yet attacked Third Brother...
"But recently, Dekang has been heavily guarded and there has not been a large influx of people.
If Ming'an wants to seize the throne, it will be in vain to hide in Dekang City without troops."
