Xiao Lingyue asked, "Are you going to set out? Where are King Xiang and the others?"
One of the guards replied respectfully: "His Highness Xiang and others will arrive in a quarter of an hour."
"The time is almost the same, so don't delay it." Xiao Lingyue simply said, looking at Zhan Beihan again.
"Walk."
Zhan Beihan had no extra nonsense, walked over and held the horse rope, and turned the horse neatly.
Xiao Lingyue followed suit.
Ye Yi stayed in place without moving, and the two horses turned around and galloped towards the official road when they came.
A quarter of an hour later.
The two of them successfully saw the traveling team.
Dozens of guards, also wearing guard uniforms, rode on horseback and guarded two carriages, one in front and one behind. On the carriage were King Xiang and the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Revenue.
Because King Xiang had already prepared in advance, Zhan Beihan and Xiao Lingyue did not attract attention and quietly integrated into the team.
The carriage carriage walked along the official road.
Xiao Lingyue sat on the horse, recalling the route Zhan Beihan told her last night.
"Walk on the water?"
Last night, in the study.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the Northern Qin territory map spread out on the table and quickly realized.
"Is it going down the Canglan River?"
Zhan Beihan nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Lingyue pondered for a moment and said, "The capital city does not rely on the river. If you want to walk on the water and go down from the Canglan River, you have to take the carriage for two days first, and then change the boat when you reach the ferry estuary.
But even so, the ship cannot directly reach the location of the imperial tomb.
When you arrive in the downstream town, you still have to get off the boat and change the carriage.
Why is it so troublesome? Who made the route?”
Zhan Beihan said in a deep voice: "I decided it."
Xiao Lingyue looked at the territory map, thought for a while, and turned to look at him: "Do you want to grab the time?"
Zhan Beihan raised his eyebrows: "Did you see it?"
"Isn't this obvious?"
Xiao Lingyue said speechlessly, pointed to the location of the capital on the territory map, and followed the official road to the mountains where the imperial tombs were located: "If you walk on this section of the road by carriage, you will have to walk for at least half a month, not including
Time to enter the mountain.”
She moved her fingers and pointed to a long river that tilted down not far from the mountain range where the imperial tomb was located, passing through several towns along the way.
"If you change to the waterway and go down the river, you can walk ten days in just two days. Even if you change to a carriage later, the distance will be shortened by half. If you change to a horse, or just rush to the road with light skills, the time will be still
Can be shortened."
This is something Xiao Lingyue could see at a glance.
In the past, when I was in the army, I had made basic skills by formulating routes to the sand map and calculating the length of the march.
But Xiao Lingyue was a little confused: "This time, His Majesty did not ask for the time being when you went to the imperial tomb. Why are you doing so urgently on the way?"
"The inspection time for the documents sent to the imperial tombs in the court was twenty days later," said Zhan Beihan.
Xiao Lingyue was stunned, as if she understood something.
"According to the past practice, the imperial tomb only inspected once every two or three years, and most of the people in charge were officials of the Ministry of Revenue. This time, the father sent King Xiang over to make trouble."
Zhan Beihan pointed at the mountain range where the imperial tomb is located, "When the grass moves, snakes, insects, rats and ants will follow you to climb out."
Shock the snake.
Xiao Lingyue narrowed her eyes slightly and showed a subtle smile.
She answered: "In addition, the prince seized the wood and stone materials transported by the Ministry of Revenue before, and investigated the Ministry of Revenue's accounts in the court with great fanfare. Those who colluded and smuggled probably had heard the news and were worried.
