King Chen slowly opened the letter with doubts. As the contents of the letter appeared before him, his face gradually became gloomy.

"Father is too ridiculous."

He whispered to himself, his tone full of helplessness and worry.

He knew very well that as his father was the ruler of a country, it was too risky for him to leave the capital so rashly.

Besides, the person is already on the way, so it’s useless even if he is angry.

King Chen immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed back to the palace at full speed.

In the palace, Bai Qianqian was sitting in the pavilion in the yard, holding a book in her hand, quietly enjoying this peaceful time.

Seeing King Chen's ugly expression, she felt a little uneasy.

King Chen came before Bai Qianqian and handed her the prince's letter with a serious look.

Bai Qianqian took the letter in confusion, read it quickly, and her face suddenly changed.

"What should we do? How can the emperor be so impulsive?" she said anxiously.

Bai Qianqian immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly said to Prince Chen, "Your Highness, you must take people to the road to pick them up. Don't let anything happen to the emperor. Although we have solved all the bandit problems along the way in the past two years, who can guarantee that there are no fish that slip through the net? What's more, there is the Second Prince who has always been thinking about the throne. If he knew that Emperor Xuanwu left the palace to come to Guanzhou, who can guarantee that the Second Prince would not cause trouble?"

King Chen's expression became increasingly ugly; this was exactly what he was worried about.

He immediately summoned the generals and guards in the palace and quickly deployed an action plan.

After a while, 20,000 soldiers were neatly lined up in the square in front of the palace.

They were all in high spirits, with determined eyes, waiting for King Chen's orders.

King Chen stood in front of the team and said solemnly: "The emperor is on his way to Guanzhou. We must ensure his safety. Now, we will divide into several teams and disperse to various roads leading to Guanzhou. We must block all possible dangers."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and 20,000 soldiers poured out of Guanzhou City like a tide.

After leaving the city, the soldiers quickly dispersed and rushed to various important roads according to the predetermined plan.

Some of them rode horses, some walked, and they quickly shuttled between the mountains and forests and on the roads.

Each team shoulders a heavy responsibility. They carefully search the surrounding environment and do not miss any suspicious signs.

King Dust personally led a team of people along a main road.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle and he is always on high alert.

Along the way, they met some passers-by and civilians, and the soldiers carefully questioned and checked them to ensure that no dangerous people mixed in.

At every intersection leading to Guanzhou, soldiers set up checkpoints and carefully checked every passing vehicle and pedestrian.

They strictly followed the orders of King Dust and did not let go of any suspicious points.

Some pedestrians don't understand their behavior and even complain.

But the soldiers remained unmoved and always stayed at their posts.

As time passed, the sun gradually set, but King Chen and his soldiers were still carrying out their mission intensively.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but no one complained of being tired, and no one backed down.

They have only one belief in their hearts, which is to ensure the emperor's safety and safeguard the peace and stability of Guanzhou.

At the same time, Emperor Xuanwu and his entourage were still on their way to Guanzhou.

They didn't know that their whereabouts had aroused Guanzhou's high vigilance.

Emperor Xuanwu was still in a good mood enjoying the scenery along the way and was full of anticipation for the upcoming arrival of Guanzhou.

The dragon guards remain vigilant at all times, keenly observing the movements around them.

Although they did not find anything unusual along the way, they did not dare to relax at all.

Some distance away from Guanzhou, Emperor Xuanwu's carriage suddenly stopped.

It turned out that there were some obstacles on the road ahead.

The dragon guards immediately went forward to check and found that these obstacles seemed to be placed by someone intentionally.

Emperor Xuanwu's expression changed slightly as he realized there might be danger.

The dragon guards quickly cleared the obstacles and strengthened the vigilance around them.

They carefully escorted Emperor Xuanwu forward.

Not far away, King Chen's soldiers also discovered this situation.

They immediately reported this to King Chen, who became even more worried after learning about it.

He quickened his march, hoping to find the emperor as soon as possible.

After an intense search, King Chen finally found Emperor Xuanwu's convoy near a small town.

He hurried forward to pay his respects to the emperor. When Emperor Xuanwu saw Prince Chen, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"I knew you would come to pick me up." Emperor Xuanwu said.

King Chen said respectfully, "Father, your trip is too risky. I am worried about your safety, so I came to greet you."

Emperor Xuanwu nodded and said, "I know you are worried, but I really miss Guanzhou and you guys."

King Chen and the Emperor continued to advance towards Guanzhou.

Along the way, they stepped up security.

Bai Qianqian was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth anxiously in the palace.

Her heart was filled with worries, and she hadn't been able to eat or sleep well for several days.

The originally delicate face was now filled with sorrow and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Qingqing and Qingyan felt very sorry when they saw Bai Qianqian in such a state.

They walked up to Bai Qianqian and whispered to her, "Miss, don't worry so much. The emperor must have people accompanying him when he travels, and the prince has also gone out to pick him up. He will definitely be able to bring him back safely."

After hearing what they said, Bai Qianqian sighed slightly, but the sadness still lingered in her heart.

"How can I eat? Your Majesty's trip is so sudden and risky. The Second Prince has been eyeing the throne, and there are so many potential dangers along the way. What if something goes wrong?"

She slowly walked to the window and looked into the distance, as if expecting King Chen and the Emperor to appear as soon as possible.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the yard, but it cannot dispel the haze in Bai Qianqian's heart.

Bai Qianqian sat back in her chair, clasping her hands tightly together.

"Qingqing, Qingyan, where do you think they are now? Will they encounter any trouble?"

Qingqing quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry too much. The prince is both wise and brave, and the emperor has so many experts protecting him, so he will be fine."

Qingyan also continued, "Yes, Miss, if you are so worried and exhaust yourself, how can you welcome the prince and the emperor when they come back?"

Bai Qianqian nodded slightly, but the worry in her heart did not diminish at all.

She stood up and paced the room again, various possible dangerous situations constantly appearing in her mind.

As time passed, Bai Qianqian's anxiety became more and more intense.
