After all this time, Luo Lan still hasn't found out any news about the Ninth Princess.
A large group of living people seemed to have disappeared from the world.
This is Jin Feng's biggest concern.
Luo Lan knew that Jin Feng was anxious, so he didn't bother to salute. He nodded and said, "Yes! I just got the news that His Highness has been found!"
"Where is she? Why couldn't she be found before?" Jin Feng asked.
"Your Highness has been hidden by His Majesty!" Luo Lan replied: "Yesterday we got news that someone discovered the sounding arrow of our Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce in Xuejiazhuang, southwest of the capital.
I checked and found that all the escorts' sounding arrows were matched, so I speculated that the sounding arrows were fired by His Highness. However, when I sent someone to inquire, the house was already empty. His Highness may have been transferred to another place by the Red Armor Army.
It’s a place.”
"Wuyang fired a loud arrow?" Jin Feng's heart sank: "Did she encounter any danger?"
"Probably not," Luoyang shook his head: "I guess that when His Highness fired the sounding arrow, he probably knew that the Eastern Barbarians were invading and wanted to use this method to inform Mr...."
"Wait a minute, what kind of Eastern barbarians are invading?"
Jin Feng interrupted Luo Lan.
The emperor had sent someone to notify Luo Lan of the news from the Khitans a few days ago, but the caravan had been on the road and could not receive the message from the flying pigeon, so Luo Lan could only send someone to deliver the message.
Bei Qianxun was familiar with the surrounding areas of the capital and knew a shortcut, so he took Jin Feng along the shortcut. He missed the path with the people sent by Luo Lan and returned to the main road today.
Luo Lan couldn't wait for a reply in the capital, so she guessed that Jin Feng might have strayed from the messenger. She couldn't wait any longer today, so she went out of the city to meet Jin Feng in person.
She was lucky enough to meet Jin Feng.
After listening to Luo Lan's story, Jin Feng's face became more and more solemn.
Once a war breaks out, everything will get out of control.
Taking away the Ninth Princess was already difficult, but now that this variable was added, he had to rethink his strategy.
The Dongman people are more ferocious than the Dangxiang people, and they suffered another cold disaster last year. This time they come to Dakang, and they must have a big plan.
"Where are the Eastern Barbarians now?"
Jin Feng forced himself to calm down and asked.
"I don't know either, but it shouldn't be far." Luo Lan replied.
After all, she was just the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce. She knew that the Eastern Barbarians were coming because the emperor told her. The specific situation was unknown.
Just as Jin Feng was about to speak, Bei Qianxun suddenly grabbed his arm: "Sir, someone is here again!"
"How many people?" Jin Feng asked.
Kita Qianxun took out the small drum again, lay on the ground and listened for a while, and said: "There are not many people, there should only be two or three horses, but they run very fast."
"Maybe it's just a passing messenger." Da Liu said.
"This is obviously the sound of the hoofbeats of war horses. Messengers don't have such good horses!" Kita Qianxun shook her head and said.
If it was normal, there were only two or three war horses, no matter who it was, Jin Feng wouldn't care too much.
But it's different now.
The Eastern Barbarians are coming.
Who knows if the person coming is a spy from the Eastern Barbarians?
Jin Feng winked at Da Liu, who immediately waved his hand: "Lao Wu, if it's a spy from the Eastern Barbarians, kill him immediately!"
"yes!"
An escort standing behind the cart nodded in agreement.
The cart is covered with a loaded heavy crossbow. If an enemy is discovered, the safety can be activated to fire it.
Da da da!
The sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and three horses galloped along the official road.
Seeing Jin Feng and others, the people on the horse began to slow down.
"Why did he come here?" Luo Lan frowned slightly.
"Do you know him?" Jin Feng asked.
"His name is Qin Zhen, he is the eldest son of the Qin family. I have seen him twice at auctions."
Luo Lan explained: "The Qin family is not particularly famous in the capital, but it is deeply trusted by His Majesty. By the way, the ninth princess's guard captain Qin Ming is the third son of the Qin family and the third brother of Qin Zhen."
"Qin Ming's eldest brother?"
Jin Feng thought for a moment: "I remember Qin Ming said that his eldest brother is the commander of the first battalion of the Red Armor Army. Didn't the Eastern Barbarians come? He is not in the capital to protect the palace, why is he here?"
"I'm also wondering about this problem." Luo Lan shook his head: "They stopped. Could it be that they are here to find sir?"
"How did they know I was coming?"
Jin Feng still thought that he came to the capital without anyone noticing.
"Sir, Luo Lan promises not to disclose your information to anyone!"
Luo Lan thought Jin Feng was doubting her, so she quickly raised her hand and swore.
"I'm not talking about you," Jin Feng shook his head and said.
Don't use it if you doubt it, don't doubt it if you employ it.
Jin Feng still trusts Luo Lan very much.
If she wanted to betray herself, she wouldn't do it so obviously.
Qin Ming jumped off his horse and strode over with two of his men.
"Who is Mr. Jin from Jinchuan?"
"The young student is Jin Feng, who has met Qin Dutong!"
Jin Feng gave Qin Zhen a scholarly salute.
Now that the other party has come to find him, he directly points out that he wants to find him. If he hides anymore, it will be like giving up.
"you know me?"
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then saw Luo Lan standing aside: "Oh, it turns out Miss Luo Lan is here too, no wonder."
"I wonder why Qin Dutong came all the way?" Jin Feng asked.
"Miss Luo Lan is here too, so I guess your husband must know that the Eastern Barbarians are here!"
Qin Zhen directly took out a token from his arms and said: "According to your Majesty's order, I am here to invite Mr. Jin to come to Beijing to meet with the Holy Spirit and discuss strategies to retreat from the enemy!"
When Jin Feng heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
When he saw Qin Zhen, he guessed that the emperor knew his whereabouts.
But he didn't expect that the emperor would directly announce his entry into the palace.
Jin Feng has always been unwilling to come to the capital because he didn't want to see the emperor.
In the feudal era, the emperor was the greatest. No matter what kind of noble you were, you had to kowtow to the emperor when you saw him.
This is unacceptable to Jin Feng.
Secondly, his foundation in the capital is too shallow, and the capital is the center of power for the entire Dakang. The water is too deep, and he is neither a quacking duck nor the Yangtze River. He really cannot control it.
Therefore, Jin Feng originally planned to come to the capital to secretly find the Ninth Princess, and then run away with her people.
He had no intention of staying long, let alone meeting the emperor.
Who knew that the emperor sent someone directly to find him.
There is no way to hide.
Ahem!
Qin Zhen saw that Jin Feng had been standing opposite him in a daze after hearing what he said, and couldn't help coughing twice as a reminder.
"Sir, it's time to take the order."
Luo Lan stood behind Jin Feng and reminded in a low voice.
"oh oh!"
Only then did Jin Feng react, hugged his fists at Qin Zhen, and then reached out to take the token in Qin Zhen's hand.
"Bold enough to steal the gold medal given by the emperor!"
The two subordinates behind Qin Zhen drew their sabers directly.
Bei Qianxun exerted force on her hands and pulled Jin Feng behind her.
Swish, brush, brush!
Da Liu and his guards also drew their crossbows and aimed them at Qin Zhen's three men.
A little further away, Lao Wu and others directly lifted up the black cloth, revealing a ferocious heavy crossbow!
If an ordinary person faced so many crossbows at the same time, he would probably be frightened. However, Qin Zhen laughed loudly and said: "I have long heard that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is good at fighting. Today I finally saw it. It is really amazing!"
"Luo Lan, did I do something wrong just now?" Jin Feng asked.
"Sir, why do you want to win the gold medal?" Luo Lan asked with a weird face.
"Didn't you ask me to receive the edict?" Jin Feng said: "He doesn't have the edict in his hand, so why should I receive it? Shouldn't I receive the token?"
"Sir, you are really..."
Luo Lan couldn't laugh or cry and explained: "This is His Majesty's oral order, so you can just reply with 'I accept the order'. You can't get the gold medal given by the emperor..."
