That's right, it was my own fault. I made a shackle for myself, trapping myself in it and unable to find a way out, but I can't cause you any more trouble...
The next day, the weather was rainy and it was impossible to ride a horse, so Zhang Shaoliang had to buy a carriage and drive on the road. Naturally, Yu Wenhaoyu and the others were delayed in their journey.
It would take five or six days at the fastest to get from Luonan to the capital. In total, Yuwen Haoyu was only one day ahead of their schedule.
When the carriage was packed, Luo Ling also packed it up and came out, accompanied by Cao Shichen. Zhang Shaoliang looked slightly uncomfortable, but didn't say much. He stepped forward and took the salute from Luo Ling's hand and walked towards the carriage.
He stuffed his head inside and said to her: "Go up."
"Shaoliang..."
Just when Zhang Shaoliang was about to get on the carriage, a weak and weak voice suddenly came from behind him, and Zhang Shaoliang's hand holding the edge of the carriage tightened slightly.
"Is there anything else? Old man." Zhang Shaoliang turned around and looked at him.
Cao Shichen opened his mouth, but could not speak. His eyes were red. Zhang Shaoliang frowned and looked away.
"Be careful on the road..."
Finally, Cao Shichen whispered in a low voice, lowered his eyes and was about to turn around, not wanting Zhang Shaoliang to see the moisture in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shaoliang stepped forward a few steps, reached out and hugged him, his young and warm body with a burning warmth.
The heat is transmitted through the layers of cloth.
He whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I know, Dad."
Cao Shichen was stunned. He didn't even know when the carriage had gone away. He just stood there with a dull expression on his face. After an unknown amount of time, the servant next to him looked very worried, so he stepped forward and called out a few words.
: "Master? Master? People have gone far. Let's go in. It's cool outside. It's not good for your body to catch a cold after standing for a long time."
"……okay."
Cao Shichen came back to his senses and nodded thoughtfully, but an unconcealable happiness suddenly appeared on his face. He was smiling from ear to ear, but when he smiled, his eyes were extremely wet.
He could only keep rubbing his eyes and muttering something in a low voice.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" the servant asked with concern.
"No, I'm very, very good..." Cao Shichen murmured, but suddenly regretted it. He was distracted for a moment and didn't bother to give Zhang Shaoliang a few more words. His expression turned gloomy again.
The servants looked at Old Man Cao crying and laughing, looking sad at the same time. They were really afraid that although he had recovered from his illness, his spirit was abnormal.
Just when Yuwen Haoyu and Black Tiger Black Panther were rushing to the capital together with Zhang Shaoliang and Luo Ling behind them, earth-shaking changes had already occurred in the capital.
Shuiyue disappeared, and Mu Feng temporarily let Lian'er take over the reception of the palace's intelligence. However, he learned that the palace was almost wiped out with blood. Not to mention the spy arranged by them, even innocent people were not spared. Overnight, the palace was completely wiped out.
It seems to be two worlds separated from the outside of the palace, and no news can be obtained.
The palace was heavily guarded, and the ministers were not allowed to go to court, and the Queen Mother was not allowed to meet in person. The secret report sent to Zhang Shaoliang also fell into the sea.
It seems that not only the palace, not to mention the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but also the intelligence sect is being targeted.
There are still about three days left before the capital city...
