The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

The emperor looked at Li Ke in surprise.

He had thought about this before, but the emperor always felt that Ma Zhiyuan and the officials in Qizhou did not have such courage.

Regicide, this is the death penalty for the nine clans of Zhulian.

I thought they didn't have the courage to kill the king? What happened after that, could they escape? After a moment of silence, the emperor smiled and shook his head.

No one can commit regicide with impunity.

Li Ke looked at the emperor and thought of a possibility, but he didn't say anything out loud. .??.

What my father said makes sense. Who in the world dares to do something to my father if he has the heart of a bear or a leopard? Li Ke said with a smile.

The emperor nodded, he felt the same way.

He waved his hand and said to Li Ke: It's getting late and you've worked hard on the road. Have a good rest tonight.

My dear, please retire. Li Ke handed over his hands to the emperor, then turned and left.

Looking at Li Ke's leaving figure, the smile on the emperor's face slowly disappeared.

How could the emperor not think of what Li Ke had not finished saying?

There is no way to escape regicide, so it depends on whether the new emperor will hold them accountable.

Chang'an, who is behind all this?

…

It only took Cheng Chumo three days to come to Jingxian.

Cheng Chumo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the emperor and his party stayed at an inn near the Jingxian County Government.

He was also worried that when he came, the emperor had already gone to Qixian County.

Fortunately, it's still not too late.

After eating something at a breakfast shop, Cheng Chumo rubbed his tired eyes and continued walking to the inn where the emperor stayed.

When he reached the vicinity of the inn, Cheng Chumo was stopped by a Jing County government official.

Of course, when the emperor moves in, he must implement a strict management system.

Ordinary people are strictly prohibited from approaching this place.

Cheng Chumo was holding the horse and was naturally stopped.

Being stopped outside and not allowed to pass, Cheng Chumo was not in a hurry.

I found a nearby inn to stay and slept happily until nightfall.

Shopkeeper, when did His Majesty the Emperor come here? Cheng Chumo asked the innkeeper, leaning against his counter.

Three days ago, but we people have no chance to see His Majesty's face. The innkeeper said with a smile.

He glanced at Cheng Chumo again and asked in a low voice, Don't you want to complain to Your Majesty?

If that's the case, I advise the young master not to go.

You will be beaten to death by the government officials before you can see His Majesty the Emperor.

No, I just heard that His Majesty the Emperor came to Jing County, and I wanted to see what His Majesty the Emperor looks like. Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

The situation in all counties in Qizhou is similar.

No one dared to go to the streets to stop the emperor's procession to complain.

Anyone who had the tendency to file a complaint would have been locked up long ago.

There was no chance of appearing in front of the emperor.

So, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor will leave Jingxian County tomorrow and go to Qixian County.

If you're lucky, you might see him here tomorrow. The innkeeper smiled.

Cheng Chu nodded silently and then left the inn.

The emperor is leaving tomorrow. According to Zhao Chen's instructions to him, he must see the emperor today, explain the situation to the emperor, and prevent the emperor from going to Qixian County again.

At night, there are no people on the streets of Jingxian County.

Cheng Chumo carefully avoided the government officials patrolling the streets. It didn't take long for him to evade the defense and appear below the inn where the emperor was staying.

Soldiers from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army were guarding the entire inn.

If Cheng Chumo didn't want to disturb them, he wouldn't have gone upstairs to the inn.

Hidden in a dark place, Cheng Chumo took out the whistle he had used to train students at the military academy.

Beep...beep... Two long whistles penetrated the night.

The Beiya Forbidden Army soldiers above the inn immediately became alert when they heard the sound.

Cheng Chumo hid in the corner, looking a little nervous.

He was worried that Li Ke fell asleep or didn't hear his whistle.

…

Father, is there anything wrong with leaving for Qixian tomorrow? Li Ke asked the emperor in the inn room.

In the past three days, they still haven't received any news from Zhao Chen.

Li Ke was a little worried. If they went to Qixian rashly, what if something happened to them?

The emperor frowned, he also felt strange.

It was impossible for Zhao Chen not to write to him for such a long time.

You should at least report to yourself on the progress of the investigation into Ninggu County.

But all this time passed and nothing happened.

The emperor no longer had the patience to wait and decided to go directly to Qixian tomorrow.

Boy Chen has been silent for so long. I'm worried that something happened to them. After settling the matter in Qixian County, I still need to send people to find him. I can't waste any more time. The emperor said.

He was also very worried about the safety of Zhao Chen and others.

If it was just Zhao Chen, the emperor wouldn't be worried at all.

But there were still three female dependents, and the emperor couldn't help but think that Zhao Chen would be tied up because of a few women.

father……

Beep...beep... Just as Li Ke was about to speak, he heard two whistles coming from outside.

Immediately afterwards, there was the movement of the Beiya Forbidden Army outside the door.

Your Majesty, there was a whistle suddenly heard outside. The soldiers were worried about your Majesty's safety and came here to protect you.

People have been sent to search below. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The voice of the Imperial Army Colonel came from outside the door.

It's Cheng Chumo. The whistle was given to him by the imperial brother when he was training students in the academy. My son also has one. Li Ke spoke to the emperor and blew it from his neck.

Pulled out a whistle hanging on a rope.

Maybe it's a commoner's child who stays up in the middle of the night and screams. There's no need to be so alarmed.

Let everyone go back and rest, and don't disturb the people. The emperor said to the door.

Yes. The captain of the imperial army responded, and then quickly disappeared from the door.

The emperor pinched the whistle hanging around Li Ke's neck and said with a smile: It is such an ordinary thing, but you hang it around your neck so preciously. I always thought it was a peace charm given to you by your mother and concubine.

The whistle sent by the emperor is a thousand times better than the peace charm. Li Ke said.

The emperor let go of his hand and waved to Li Ke: Go and bring that guy Cheng Chumo over. I want to ask them what they are doing with no news for so long.

…

Li Ke went out.

Walking to the terrace on the second floor, soldiers from the Bei Ya Forbidden Army were guarding here.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu. The soldier saluted Li Ke.

Thank you for your hard work. We don't need you here for the time being. Let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea first. Li Ke said to the two soldiers.

The soldier was stunned for a moment. Although he was surprised, he didn't say anything.

To give up is to leave.

Li Ke looked at the darkness in front of him, secretly wondering where Cheng Chumo was hiding.

Dang...dang... A stone flew over from the darkness in front of him.

Li Ke dodged and the pebbles fell on the floor.

Then Li Ke saw Cheng Chumo appear on the big tree in front of him.

Little Lizi, make room for me. Cheng Chumo pointed in front and motioned for Li Ke to make way for him to land.

Li Ke took two steps back, and Cheng Chumo jumped up and landed firmly on the ground.

Why are you alone, brother Huang? Li Ke couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he didn't see Zhao Chen behind him.

Zhao Da went to Qixian County. I'm here to report the news. Take me to see His Majesty quickly. Cheng Chumo picked up the stones on the ground and said to Li Ke.
