Da Bong fights more people

Sitting quietly at the table for a few minutes, officials from the third department and Chu Xianglong came in one after another. Naturally, everyone didn't give Xu Qi'an any good looks, and kept silent.

One of the two imperial censors, who is used to being sloppy, said with a smile: "What is Master Xu calling me to wait for?"

"I want to adjust the route and take the land route instead."

Xu Qi'an's words were astonishing, and he threw out shocking news at the beginning.

"This is impossible!"

Chu Xianglong was the first to object, with a firm tone.

With the lesson from last time, he didn't continue to break up with Xu Qi'an, and stood with his hands behind his back, assuming an uncompromising posture.

"Master Xu, don't mess around. We will be able to reach Chuzhou in ten days. If we have to go by land, we may not be able to arrive in half a month." Dali Temple Cheng said:

"Although you are the organizer, you can't do anything wrong and do whatever you want."

With normal instructions, they can accommodate and tolerate Xu Qi'an, acknowledging his status and prestige as the host.But that doesn't include changing course at will.

It is too troublesome to change the waterway to land. Horses, carriages, and transport vehicles have to be arranged. After all, these two hundred or so people eat horses, and it is impossible to travel lightly. That's why the mission chose the faster and more convenient waterway.

Secondly, in marching and fighting, only the top general can change the route.Although the mission is not an army, it is still taboo to change the route.

Chen Butou of the Criminal Department looked at Yang Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Yang Jinluo, what do you think?"

Yang Yan had no expression on his face, "It's really not right."

Even Yang Yan, who was a prisoner, disagreed with Xu Qi'an's decision. It is conceivable that if he insists on going his own way, it will be embarrassing for himself.Even the other watchmen probably wouldn't support him.

"Humph!"

Chu Xianglong snorted coldly, and said: "It's nothing, the general will go back first, and there will be fewer such mindless thoughts in the future."

The head of the criminal department took a look at Xu Qi'an, and said: "General Chu, wait a minute, you might as well listen to what Master Xu has to say."

Chu Xianglong turned around and looked at him in surprise.

Being able to catch the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is naturally an experienced person. The more he thought about it these days, the more something went wrong. At first, he only thought that Chu Xianglong returned to the northern border with the mission, not only for convenience, but also to "monitor" the mission for King Zhenbei. group.

After all, the case that the mission went to the northern border this time may be against King Zhenbei.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. If only Chu Xianglong was accompanying him, and if the princess was also accompanying him, shouldn't it be sending an imperial army to escort the northern border?

Why mess with them?

The boat was full of men, and it was somewhat unreasonable for the prince's first wife to go with them.

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple couldn't help looking at Chen Butou, frowning slightly, then looked at Xu Qi'an and Chu Xianglong, thoughtfully.

Yo, as expected of the head arrester of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xu Qi'an, who is much sharper than the officials, unfolded the map in his hand, looked at Chu Xianglong, and asked:

"General Chu, why is the princess in the accompanying mission?"

Chen Butou of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the two censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Prime Minister of Dali Temple all looked at Chu Xianglong in unison.

Xu Qi'an's question revealed the doubts or curiosity in their hearts.

"Wangfei went to the northern border to meet with Duke Huai, what's the problem?" Chu Xianglong narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Qi'an sharply.

He knew this matter well from everyone who was on a different boat.There is no need to hide it, as long as you leave the capital quietly and no one will know, your goal will be achieved.

"I am the chief officer of the mission, why didn't I receive the notice before?" Xu Qi'an asked again.

Chu Xianglong said indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter. The princess takes the route to go north, and her status is noble, so it's better to keep a low profile."

"Since the concubine has a noble status, why don't you send a team of imperial guards to escort her?"

At this moment, Butou Chen suddenly asked.

"That's right, the official boat is full of fish and dragons. If you know that the princess is going out, you have to prepare another boat." Dali Temple Cheng said with a smile.

"No, it's not right." A censor frowned.

This group of old foxes, Chu Xianglong, glanced at the officials of the third division, feeling annoyed.

A few days ago, they also showed hostility towards Xu Qi'an, and secretly expressed their kindness to themselves. However, once they encountered something that might be unfavorable to them, their attitudes immediately became ambiguous.

Seeing that Chu Xianglong was silent, Xu Qi'an sneered, looked around at the crowd, and said:

"As Chen Butou said, if the princess is going to the northern border to reunite with Duke Huai, then His Majesty will directly send the imperial guards to escort her. It is not necessary to secretly mix with the mission. Moreover, she has kept it a secret from us. My lords, Did you know beforehand that the princess was on board?"

Dali Sicheng and the two censors shook their heads.

Xu Qi'an said again: "Then do you know what this means?"

The Prime Minister of Dali Temple hurriedly asked, "Master Xu, you have something to say."

Xu Qi'an said loudly: "This means that there may be danger, such as an ambush, an ambush targeting the princess."

The two censors, the prime minister of Dali Temple, frowned and turned serious.

Chen Butou of the Ministry of Punishment did not change his expression, as if he had expected this for a long time.

Seeing this, Chu Xianglong knew that if he continued to deny it, he would only betray his relatives, so he hummed:

"The concubine's trip to the north does have another purpose, but Xu Qi'an doesn't need to be alarmist. Even you don't know about the concubine's departure from Beijing, let alone others?

"The ambush also needs to be prepared in advance. We are going all the way north, taking the fastest water route, and the princess's accompanying matter is kept secret. How could we encounter an ambush?"

Dali Sicheng and others nodded slowly, thinking that what Chu Xianglong said was reasonable.

It was only after they set off that they discovered that there were female relatives on board, and later they gradually realized that there was Princess Huai among the female relatives.Even they didn't know about this until after they set off. Just imagine, how could the possible enemies be ambushed?

It's too late.

"A false alarm, a false alarm." Dali Si Cheng let out a breath, his complexion improved.

Xu Qi'an laughed and said: "My lords, don't be impatient, listen to me and think about it later."

Then he moved his gaze to the spread map, pointed to something on it, and said, "At the speed of the ship, we will pass here by tomorrow evening at the latest."

Everyone walked to the table and looked. It was a fast-flowing river basin, narrow and surrounded by high mountains on both sides.

"Here, if someone really wants to ambush on both sides of the bank, we can't turn around quickly because of the turbulence of the water, otherwise we will be in danger of overturning. The masters on both sides will become an obstacle for us to go ashore and escape. They only need to ambush in the mountains Manpower, we can wait for us to throw ourselves into the net. In short, if there is an ambush along the way, it will definitely be here."

Xu Qi'an's words made everyone tense up again after they had just relaxed.

Chu Xianglong stared at the map for a moment, and retorted: "The premise of all this is that there is an ambush by the enemy, and as I said just now, the enemy has no time to set up an ambush in advance.
