After all, that carriage had been parked in the backyard, so I had to go there first to see if there might be any clues.

Soon, he came to the outside of the courtyard, first looked at the surrounding environment, and then walked in.

As soon as he entered, his brows immediately squeezed together tightly, and then he walked towards the place where the carriage had been parked, because at this time, the ruts left by the wheels were still very clear.

He had just walked to the side of the rut mark when his eyes suddenly flashed and he immediately stared straight at the pile of gravel in front of him.

In this way, he stared at the gravel for almost as long as half a stick of incense.

Then, he seemed to understand something, nodded with a smile, and walked out immediately.

After he left, the place became quiet again. Lemazagon, who was hiding under the stone, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his head with his hands. He was really afraid that someone would come over.

...

It was almost at the beginning of Xu Shi that several people who went to deliver the letter came back.

Chi Zhongtian was eating when he received the news. As soon as he heard that they were back, he immediately put down his rice bowl and ran out. He didn't feel relieved until he saw them standing in the king's house with his own eyes.

"Zhongtian, you are here. I was about to ask someone to call you." The king was sitting on a chair inside and happened to see Chi Zhongtian outside.

Chi Zhongtian hurriedly walked over, first said hello to those people, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am worried about their safety."

"Haha, you guys don't know that General Chi has been restless since you left. He can't wait to pick you up. This is a heroic demeanor after all. He cares about your safety."

The king's words seemed to be a favor to Chi Zhongtian. Several people who went to deliver the letter quickly turned around and said to Chi Zhongtian: "Thank you, General Chi, for your concern."

"You guys, go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After sending away a few soldiers, the king continued: "Okay, tell me the whole story quickly, Zhongtian, if you want to know, just ask directly." The king said.

"Your Majesty, I understand." Chi Zhongtian replied.

In addition to a few soldiers, there will of course be an official who goes to deliver the letter, and this official is a royal censor in the imperial court. His surname is Tian, ​​and his given name has a straight character.

After Tian Zhi knew that the king asked him to deliver the letter, he scolded the king countless times in his heart. He thought, wasn't this asking him to die?

Although the king comforted him and said that the other party was not so courageous, Tian Zhi could not take it seriously. These were barbarians and they could not do anything. So what if he killed himself? He had the third prince in his hands.

However, what Tian Zhi didn't expect was that he could come back alive, and it could be said that he was not frightened at all.

"Master Tian, ​​please speak." The king first asked Chi Zhongtian to sit aside, and then raised his hand to indicate that Tian Zhi could speak.

"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the directions, as soon as Xiaguan arrived near Chi'er Village, several people suddenly appeared, and then questioned Xiaguan repeatedly. Although Xiaguan did not understand martial arts, he felt murderous intent in them."

At this moment, Chi Zhongtian suddenly interjected: "Mr. Tian, ​​are those people all wearing black clothes and carrying bows and arrows on their backs?"

"Exactly!" Tian Zhi turned around and replied.

"Well, it's true." Chi Zhongtian nodded and muttered silently.

"At that time, Xianguan saw something was wrong, so he explained his purpose. Those people were indeed sent by thieves to wait for us. After they took the letter from Xianguan, they asked Xianguan to wait there for a long time.

It took more than half an hour, and then someone sent a letter to the official. The official knew that the matter was of great importance, so he did not dare to open it privately and asked the prince to read it. "

With that said, Tian Zhi took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

Chi Zhongtian quickly stood up and took it, then handed it to the king.

After the king took it, he immediately opened it, took out a piece of paper, and opened it to read.

There didn't seem to be many words written on it, because the king read it in just a few glances.

After reading it, the king gave a wry smile, and then handed it to Chi Zhongtian.

Chi Zhongtian saw the expression on the king's face and thought to himself that something might be wrong, so he immediately took it over.

There were just a few lines written on it, to the effect that it would be too late to change people in three days, and they would be changed in two days. The time was set to be around noon two days later. The location was naturally near Chi'er Village, but the specific location was not mentioned.

, he only said that someone would come to pick him up when the time came.

Of course, these may not make the king look ugly, because there is not much difference between three days and two days.

What made the king's face look ugly was because of the last sentence.

"You cannot bring more than fifty people."

This means that none of the methods Chi Zhongtian had thought of before will work.

I'm afraid that the army escorting him, the powerful dragons and guards protecting him closely, and following the king closely are all out of the question now.

"Besides this letter, what else did they say?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.

Tian Zhi replied: "No, just ask your subordinate to take this letter and go back."

"It seems that they don't even give us room for negotiation." Chi Zhongtian said immediately after hearing Tian Zhi's words.

"Humph, these thieves are so arrogant that they even have to control the people who accompany them!" The king was also extremely angry and couldn't help but slap the table.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Let's do it?" Chi Zhongtian asked.

"Hey, what can we do? The third prince is in their hands, what can they say that we can't agree to?" the king said silently.

"This is really troublesome. With fifty people, how can we protect your safety, my lord? This place is their territory, especially those people in black. All of them are experts who are as good as ten. What else do they have?"

Have other ideas." Chi Zhongtian said tentatively.

"Any other ideas?" the king asked in confusion.

"Master Tian, ​​have you told them that the prince is here?" Chi Zhongtian suddenly asked.

"Ah? No, no, how could this subordinate say that?" Tian Zhi immediately shook his head and denied it.

"Since Mr. Tian didn't say anything, they don't know who will replace him this time." Chi Zhongtian said.

"Zhongtian, what do you mean?" the king asked.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's better than this. Since they don't know you are coming, then why don't you show up in two days' time." Chi Zhongtian said.
