The emperor looked at Li Ke in surprise.

He had thought so before, but the emperor always felt that Ma Zhiyuan and the officials of Qizhou were not as brave as such.

Regret killing is a death sentence that implicates the nine tribes.

"Do I think they don't have such courage to kill the regicide? After that, can they escape?" After a moment of silence, the emperor smiled and shook his head.

No one can escape the ruthlessness after regicide.

Li Ke looked at the emperor and thought of a possibility, but he did not say anything again.

"What the father said makes sense. Who in the world is brave enough to dare to attack his father?" Li Ke said with a smile.

The emperor nodded, and he felt the same way.

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

"My son is leaving." Li Ke bowed to the emperor, then turned around and left.

Looking at Li Ke's departure back, the smile on the emperor's face slowly disappeared.

How could the emperor have never thought that Li Ke had not finished what he said?

If the regicide cannot escape, it depends on whether the new emperor will hold them accountable.

Chang'an, who is manipulating all this behind the scenes?

...

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

When Cheng Chumo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the emperor and his party had moved into an inn near the Jingxian County Office.

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

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

After eating something at a breakfast shop, Cheng Chumo rubbed his tired eyes and continued to walk towards the inn where the emperor was staying.

When he walked to the near the inn, Cheng Chumo was stopped by the yamen runners from Jing County.

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

It is strictly forbidden for ordinary people to get close to this place.

Cheng Chumo was holding the horse, so he was naturally stopped.

Cheng Chumo was not in a hurry to be stopped outside and refused to let him go.

I found a nearby inn and took a sleep happily until the night fell.

"Shopkeeper, when did His Majesty the Emperor come?" Cheng Chumo leaned against the counter of the inn shopkeeper and asked him.

"It's three days ago, but we don't have the chance to see His Majesty's Holy Face." The inn shopkeeper said with a smile.

He looked at Cheng Chumo again and asked in a low voice: "Young Master isn't you trying to ask Your Majesty to sue the emperor."

"If this is the case, I advise the young master not to go."

"When you don't wait for you to see His Majesty the Emperor, you will be beaten to death by the yamen runners."

"No, I just heard that the Emperor has come to Jingxian County and want to see what His Majesty the Emperor looks like." Cheng Chumo smiled.

The situation in each county in Qizhou is similar.

No one dared to go out to the street to stop the emperor's team and sue the emperor.

Anyone who has the tendency to sue for the lawsuit has long been locked up.

There was no chance to appear in front of the emperor.

"In this way, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor will leave Jingxian tomorrow and head towards Qixian."

"If you are lucky, you may see it here tomorrow." The inn shopkeeper smiled.

Cheng Chumo nodded, and then left the inn.

The emperor was leaving tomorrow. According to Zhao Chen's instructions to him, he would meet the emperor today, explain the situation to the emperor, and prevent the emperor from going to Qi County again.

As the night entered, there were no people on the streets of Jing County.

Cheng Chumo carefully avoided the yamen runners who were patrolling the streets, and soon avoided the defense and appeared below the inn where the emperor was staying.

The inn is full of soldiers from the Northern Imperial Army defending.

If Cheng Chumo didn't want to alarm them, he wouldn't be able to go upstairs.

Hiding in a place where there is no light, Cheng Chumo took out the whistle that he used to train students in the Military Academy.

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

The soldiers of the Northern Imperial Army 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 had fallen asleep or that he didn't hear his whistle.

...

"Father, is it wrong to leave for Qi County tomorrow?" Li Ke and the emperor asked in the inn room.

In the past three days, they have not received any news from Zhao Chen.

Li Ke was a little worried. What if they went to Qi County rashly, what if something happened?

The emperor frowned, and he felt strange.

It is impossible for Zhao Chen to not send a letter to himself for such a long time.

At least we should report to yourself how the investigation in Ninggu County is progressing.

But so long has passed, nothing has happened.

The emperor no longer had the patience of waiting and decided to go directly to Qi County tomorrow.

"Boy Chen has not been in trouble for so long. I am worried that something happened to them. After solving the problem in Qi County, I will send someone to find him. I can't waste any more time." The emperor said.

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

If it were just Zhao Chen, the emperor would not be worried at all.

But there were three female relatives, and the emperor could not help but think that Zhao Chen would be held back because of several women.

"father……"

"Beep...beep..." Li Ke was about to speak when he heard two whistles coming from outside.

Immediately afterwards, outside the door was the movement of the Northern Imperial Army.

"Your Majesty, there was a whistle outside. The soldiers were worried about your Majesty's safety, so I came to protect him."

"There have been sent to search below, please rest assured by Your Majesty." The voice of the Imperial Army Captain came from outside the door.

"It was Cheng Chumo. The whistle was sent to him by the emperor when he was training students in the academy. There was also one son in his son." Li Ke said to the emperor, pulling out a whistle hanging on a rope from his neck.

"Maybe the children in the common people don't sleep in the middle of the night and don't panic so much."

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

"Yes." The Imperial Army Captain responded, and then quickly disappeared at the door.

The emperor pinched the whistle hanging around Li Ke's neck and smiled, "You are still hanging such a treasure around your neck. I always thought it was the peace talisman that your mother gave you."

"The whistle sent by the emperor is thousands of times better than the peace talisman." Li Ke said.

The emperor let go and waved to Li Ke: "Go and bring that guy Cheng Chumo here. I want to ask them what they are going to do if they don't have news for so long."

...

Li Ke went out.

Walking to the terrace on the second floor, where soldiers from the Northern Imperial Army guarded them.

"His Royal Highness of Shu." The soldier saluted Li Ke.

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

The soldier was stunned for a moment, but although it was strange, he didn't say anything.

Leave with your hands.

Li Ke looked at the darkness in front of him and thought to himself where the guy Cheng Chumo was hiding.

"When... when..." A stone flew over from the darkness in front of him.

Li Ke dodged and the stone fell on the floor.

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

"Little Lizi, give me a place." Cheng Chumo pointed to the front and signaled Li Ke to give up his seat and let him land.

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

"Why are you the only one, the emperor brother?" Li Ke couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he didn't see Zhao Chen behind him.
