Upon hearing Di Xin's decision, Xizi blurted out a few words, expressing strong opposition with almost no thought.
"You cannot return to the capital without an edict. As the general of Yanque Pass, if you sneak back to the capital without permission, if you are discovered, that would be..."
Xizi bit his lip hard when he said this, and stared at Di Xin with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Although she and Song Qianwei are sisters, His Royal Highness Prince Yu undoubtedly holds more weight in her heart.
Because of the orthodox inheritance of the throne, every member of the royal family who has been enfeoffed or sent out is not allowed to return to the capital privately without receiving the emperor's edict, not to mention that Emperor Xin still has a large number of troops in his hands.
.
If he returns to Beijing privately without reporting to the court and getting permission, even if he has done nothing, as long as a thoughtful person provokes him, he will be charged with treason.
When the time comes, whether he will be demoted to a commoner, exiled, or beheaded, there will be no good results anyway.
Does Di Xin have no enemies in the capital?
Apart from anything else, those princes and princes who are interested in the throne would never mind taking the opportunity to eliminate a strong competitor.
not to mention……
After hearing that Mingyuelou's reason for not killing Song Qianwei was to let King Yu cancel his plan to send troops, Xizi made the same judgment as Di Xin.
Even if the big shot behind Mingyue Tower is not a certain prince, he must be inextricably linked to it.
How could that big shot let go of such a good opportunity?
Xizi even suspected that the reason why the Divine Lord of Mingyue Tower gave him a one-month deadline was to give His Highness a chance to save people and lure His Highness back to the capital.
wrong.
She quickly dismissed the idea.
His Royal Highness Prince Yu's external persona is that his foundation has been destroyed and his cultivation has been completely lost. He has no ability to personally save sister Qianwei. Therefore, even if this is a trap, its target will not be His Highness Prince Yu.
Since we are rescuing people, the stronger the person rescuing them, the better.
Although Zeng Hongshen was an innate great master and even received the title of a crippled old man, he wanted to personally protect His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so it couldn't be him; An Junshan, as the commander of Yanque Pass, also
It is impossible for His Highness Prince Yu to leave his post without permission because of a private matter.
Therefore, the target of Mingyue Tower should be Zhao Quanyou, who is also the innate grand master.
No wonder the person who kidnapped Song Qianwei revealed his identity as a member of the Mingyue Tower faction. That's it.
Although the northern borderland has become a restricted area for Mingyuelou's forces, it is just a message, and it is not a difficult matter.
The simple way is to ask the chamber of commerce responsible for delivering letters to send a copy of the letter.
But no matter what, if His Royal Highness Prince Yu dares to return to Beijing privately, once he is exposed, he will definitely be in a narrow escape situation.
Di Xin also looked back at Xizi.
He knew what Xizi wanted to express, and he could even see the trap of Mingyue Tower leaving a one-month deadline.
Zhao Quanyou has stayed in Mingyue Tower for many years. Not only is he familiar with Mingyue Tower, Mingyue Tower also contains a lot of information about him.
Mingyue Tower may not be able to find traces of Zhao Quanyou in other places, but in the capital, the headquarters where it has been operating for many years, this method may not be available.
Di Xin had previously proposed that Zhao Quanyou go to the capital to rescue people. The purpose was to use Zhao Quanyou's bright card to hide the existence of his dark card, thereby increasing the possibility of Song Qianwei being exposed.
Di Xin knew that Zhao Quanyou could also see this, so he didn't explain too much at the time.
But precisely because he saw it, Zhao Quanyou felt that the risk was too great, so he chose to refuse, which led to Di Xin needing to reconstruct the plan.
But this is no reason to stop him.
Di Xin said seriously and solemnly: "I know what you are worried about, but this matter is already related to Miss Qianwei's life."
"Your Highness, this is too dangerous. If it doesn't work, we can stop the expedition..."
Halfway through Xizi's persuasion, he was interrupted by Di Xin.
"The expedition cannot be given up halfway. It must be done, but we cannot ignore the life of Miss Qianwei. Since I am so greedy that I want both options, I must take a little risk."
"But……"
Xizi bit his lip, but couldn't say the rest of the words.
At this moment, she even thought darkly that nothing would happen to His Highness, and if it didn't work, she would give up on Song Qianwei.
Di Xin saw the confusion on Xizi's face, and a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
But he has no intention of changing his decision.
"As long as he is a member of the General's Palace, I will protect him."
"Since Qianwei is from the General's Mansion and has been kidnapped, I naturally cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
"Don't worry, no one can stop me from leaving. After I rescue Qianwei, I will bring her back safely,"
Xizi actually knew that if His Highness decided to do something, no one could object to it, and the persuasion just now was just made out of urgency and with a just-in-case mentality.
However, this is the Prince Yu she knows.
Gentle, confident, and a bit domineering at critical moments.
Seeing that his persuasion had no effect, Xizi gave up continuing this meaningless behavior and said with concern: "In this case, Your Highness must be careful along the way."
"Your Highness, please remember that I and Sister Ruoqing are waiting for Your Highness to return safely."
Di Xin showed a smile: "I promise you that I will come back safely."
Xizi lowered his head slightly and asked, "Your Highness, when are you planning to set off?"
Di Xin replied without hesitation: "It's early rather than late. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"Um."
Xizi hummed softly, turned around and left in a hurry: "Your Highness, I will go and help His Highness pack his luggage."
Although she agreed with Di Xin's attention, she didn't want him to see the worry and reluctance on her face.
After Xizi left, Zeng Hongshen also bowed slightly and said, "In that case, I will go back and pack my parcel and set off with His Highness tomorrow."
In the past few years, he has become accustomed to closely protecting Di Xin. He basically goes wherever God Xin goes.
However, Emperor Xin spoke up to stop Zeng Hongshen.
"Mr. Zeng, wait a moment."
When Zeng Hongshen stopped and turned around, Di Xin continued: "This time, I can go back to the capital alone. Mr. Zeng does not need to follow me."
Zeng Hong asked in confusion: "Your Highness, are you afraid that the old man's clumsy hands will ruin His Highness's plan?"
"Mr. Zeng, I can certainly trust him."
Di Xin explained: "Everyone in the world knows that Mr. Zeng is present wherever I am. On the contrary, if you see Mr. Zeng, you will know that I am nearby."
"If Mr. Zeng disappears with me, wouldn't it arouse people's suspicion for nothing?"
Zeng Hongshen looked thoughtful and said, "Is this what Your Highness meant?"
