"Yes, General, there is a forest seven or eight miles away from here. We might as well go there to rest, and then we can go directly through there and continue moving forward."

This guide was carefully selected for them by the emperor. He was very familiar with many places and also knew some of the small roads and mountain roads.

"That's right. You lead the way and let the soldiers pass first. I will accompany the prince behind." Chi Zhongtian said.

"yes!"

After finishing speaking, Chi Zhongtian asked several junior officers to pass on the order, and all the sergeants followed the guide ahead.

After walking all night, Chi Zhongtian knew that these people were very tired. After all, this was the first night march, so it was not too tiring. As for the king, he was already old. Although he was sitting in the carriage, he was still suffering from the bumps.

Still unbearable.

After the arrangements were made, Chi Zhongtian rode to the side and gestured to the driver to stop the carriage.

As soon as it stopped, the king's voice came from inside.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Zhongtian quickly dismounted and walked over and said, "Your Majesty, we have been walking all night. Let's rest in front."

"Okay, you can arrange this. You don't have to tell me."

When the king said this, Chi Zhongtian continued: "My lord, are you hungry?"

"Fortunately, I'm not hungry. I have a lot of food here, so you don't have to worry about me."

It seems that he is also afraid of causing trouble to Chi Zhongtian, so the king tries his best to solve some problems by himself.

"Okay, then, Your Majesty, let's continue on our way."

After saying that, Chi Zhongtian rode behind the carriage. At this time, he still had to be more alert. Although he had just left the capital, he could not slack off at all.

Not long after, Chi Zhongtian escorted the carriage to the woods to the west of the city. At this moment, the woods had been divided into several groups of people in twos and threes. Most of them were resting, and only a few were still walking around.

Go, this is also the practice of the military camp. At any time, someone must patrol.

Now that it had stopped, the king walked out of the carriage. He had been suffocating in the carriage all night. It felt really good to come out for some air.

"Well, I haven't traveled far in more than ten years." The king said with a smile while moving his legs and arms.

After Chi Zhongtian handed the horse over to the officer, he also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you have time, you can go out for more walks. Relaxing is also good for your health."

"No, I can't compare to you young people. I remember when I was young, I could ride a horse from Beijing to Chang'an and back several times without feeling tired. But now, I feel tired after walking all night in a carriage.

, I can’t do it if I don’t accept it.”

The king is almost seventy years old, so it is natural to say such things, but if Chi Zhongtian compares him with his father, there is really a huge difference.

I have to say that practicing martial arts when you have nothing to do is really beneficial to people.

"Your Majesty, if you have time, I will teach you how to box." Chi Zhongtian first helped the king sit on a stone covered with cotton pads, and then said with a smile.

"Boxing? Forget it, I don't dare to mess with my old bones." The king said with a smile.

"My lord, what I teach you is not the kind of boxing that can be used to hit people, but the boxing used to strengthen the body. It is called Tongti Boxing. When you have time, I will teach you. I can't guarantee anything else. After practicing for a year,

I guarantee that you can run around the capital without getting tired!" Chi Zhongtian said confidently.

"Oh? There is such a good thing!" Even though the king said so, he must have been thinking that he could prolong his life. Therefore, after hearing Chi Zhongtian's words, he immediately became interested.

"Of course!" Chi Zhongtian replied with a smile.

While the two were chatting happily, two servants who were dedicated to serving the king came over. It turned out that these two servants felt that the weather was still a little cold, so they wanted to let the king return to the carriage.

This season, it's the coldest in the morning when it's just dawn. Although the king is wearing a cotton robe and a big dog skin cloak, I'm afraid he still can't withstand it.

The king seemed to feel a little cold, so he walked back to the carriage. After resting for a while, the army continued to set off.

This time, after walking a long way, the guide stopped. At this moment, it was already dusk. The guide led everyone into an unknown small town and prepared to set up camp.

Three hundred soldiers were not too many, so Chi Zhongtian first sent someone to notify the county magistrate here. After receiving the news, the county magistrate immediately arranged for several large houses and placed all the soldiers in them.

Originally, the county magistrate insisted on hosting a banquet to entertain them, but Chi Zhongtian declined. After all, the king could not meet everyone. It was inappropriate to show up, and it was also inappropriate not to show up, so he simply skipped the meal.

...

Just when Chi Zhongtian and the others had just settled in this small city, there was a lot of excitement in the governor's mansion of the nine provinces in the capital.

Zhao Weixian was sitting in the study room, with a man in blue clothes next to him.

"Sir, the situation has been clearly investigated." The man in blue said.

Zhao Weixian frowned and asked: "Well, things are getting more and more troublesome. After King Qing comes back, the emperor will definitely not give up easily. If the investigation continues, I'm afraid I will be in trouble."

"Sir, what are you afraid of?" the man in blue asked puzzledly.

"After King Qing comes back, he will definitely be scolded by the emperor. Once he gets angry, he will definitely confess me, because I was the one who encouraged him to go, and I promised him that those thieves will definitely not touch him.

Seriously, he will definitely come back victorious."

When Zhao Weixian said this, the man in blue immediately replied: "Sir, you don't have to worry about this. His Highness Prince Qing won't tell you. After all, you have been helping him."

"Hmph, that's hard to say. Prince Qing has always been eyeing the throne of the crown prince. This time he was kidnapped by thieves, which brought shame on the emperor. If he doesn't try his best to excuse himself, then the crown prince's position is really not his.

Got it!"

I have to say that Zhao Weixian's analysis is very reasonable. If this is the case, then King Qing will definitely tell Zhao Weixian out in order to protect himself.

Once the emperor learns about this, he will definitely question Zhao Weixian. If the emperor continues to ask, can Zhao Weixian escape?

Don't talk about it, I'm afraid even the matter of lending out my great order a long time ago will be found out.
