After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

King Rui picked up the water bag from Qiu Ye's hand embarrassedly.

"However, I just laid a nest again, so there should be fish now."

"If Prince Rui wants to drink fish soup, you need to wait a while."

"Yang Liu, just boil a little more and let everyone share a sip." Xiao Minshen said.

"Yes."

Yang Liu walked to the water's edge and picked up the fish basket. This time there seemed to be more fish in it.

The fish basket felt a bit heavy when I picked it up.

She dumped the fish onto the shore, and sure enough, there were dozens of them.

Qiu Ye originally came over to watch the fun, but when he saw so many fish, he hurried to help take care of them.

The fish wasn’t big, so two people worked together to clean it up quickly.

This fish is very tender and has no fishy smell. It will be cooked through just by boiling the water.

This time, a big pot of fish soup was cooked, and everyone could get a small half bowl.

The guards were very envious, but did not come to ask for it.

After lunch, we packed up and started moving again.

Because of the longer delay at noon, the speed in the afternoon was obviously much faster.

If they didn't speed up, they would miss the post station at night and would have to sleep outdoors.

After a bumpy journey, they finally arrived at the post station when it was dark.

The food in the post station was simple. Everyone had a big meal of fish and meat at noon and did not feel hungry.

Everyone asked for hot water, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to rest.

Xiao Minshen was talking in a low voice to Shen Yunjin when there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, I am Li Dashan."

Before Xiao Minshen opened his mouth to ask who it was, the person at the door introduced himself.

Xiao Minshen walked to the door and opened it.

The person outside the door flashed into the room and closed the door.

As soon as Li Dashan entered the room, he bowed to Xiao Minshen.

"Your subordinate greets the King of Qi."

"Let's sit here and talk." Xiao Minshen pointed to a chair on the side.

"Aren't you in the Patrol Department? Why are you here at the Guard?"

"I heard that the prince was going to his fiefdom, so I volunteered to bring my brothers to protect the prince."

"It's very dangerous to go to Shu. There's really no need for you to wade into this muddy water."

Li Dashan looked around and lowered his voice.

"My brothers are used to freedom and are not used to the rules in the capital."

"I know that this escort may be a one-way trip."

"But we want to give it a try. If by some chance we can successfully reach Shuzhong, we will follow the prince and not return to the capital."

Li Dashan told them their plan.

"Didn't you originally want to bring your family to the capital after you settled down there?"

"What will happen to them if you leave?"

"Don't mention it!" Li Dashan hung his head.

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"I am fine, but the wives of several of my brothers saw the prosperity of the capital and asked for divorce and left."

"Plus, we were originally recruited, and we are often excluded on a daily basis."

"One brother couldn't stand it, so he got into a fight with someone and was killed right away."

The brothers who had fought together before, when they arrived in Beijing, watched him being beaten to death by others.

Moreover, they cannot have any objections, otherwise the outcome will be the same.

If life is like this, they might as well follow the King of Qi and stay away from the capital.

Or, they could find a new place to live instead of suffering in Beijing.

Xiao Minshen pondered for a while.

"You also know that this trip to the fiefdom will be very dangerous, so I can't give you any guarantees."

"If you have decided to follow me, then you must follow my instructions."

"If any of you regret it, it's not too late to return to the capital now."

Today, they are still at the border of Shengjing. In two days, they will leave Shengjing.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with them. I'll take my leave now."

Li Dashan stood up and bowed to Xiao Minshen and Shen Yunjin.

Xiao Minshen closed the door and fastened the bolt.

Shen Yunjin asked as he took off his coat.

"Your Majesty, is he the bandit you tried to recruit last time?"

"Yes, this Li Dashan is the bandit leader."

Xiao Minshen blew out the candle and lay down on the bed.

Nothing happened that night. Everyone got up early the next morning before dawn.

After having breakfast at the post station, several carriages began to move slowly again.

Xiao Minshen took a special look before getting on the car.

Among the guards escorting them, Li Dashan and his brothers were still there.

He nodded slightly and got on the carriage.

Prince Rui did not come today, so Shen Yunjin lay in the carriage relaxing.

The carriage of Prince Qi's palace looked very simple.

In fact, this carriage was specially made by Xiao Minshen.

The walls of this car have been reinforced and the wheels are different from ordinary tires.

Lying in the carriage, I didn't feel any bumps at all.

Unlike the carriage in Prince Rui's palace, which looks spacious, it will actually cause backache if you sit in it for a long time.

Shen Yunjin lay there, feeling as if his bones were about to fall apart.

Xiao Minshen saw Shen Yunjin sighing happily and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Why? Are you happy to be with me?"

Shen Yunjin glared at Xiao Minshen.

"I am sighing, it is more comfortable to lie in our own carriage."

"The carriage of King Rui looks spacious, but it is actually very bumpy."

"Yesterday, my bones were almost falling apart."

After Shen Yunjin finished complaining, he asked, "What did Prince Rui talk about with the prince yesterday?"

Xiao Minshen lifted the curtain and took a look outside.

Outside their carriage, Shunzi and several guards were riding on horses to protect them on both sides.

King Rui's carriage was ahead of them.

The soldiers escorting them fell far behind the convoy.

"King Rui wants to join forces with this king."

Xiao Minshen's voice was so soft, so soft that Shen Yunjin almost thought she had misheard.

She looked at Xiao Minshen, and Xiao Minshen nodded.

"Why does he think the prince will agree?"

Shen Yunjin also asked softly.

Xiao Minshen sneered.

"He guessed the existence of Mo Yi and the others."

Now, Shen Yunjin couldn't lie still anymore.

Xiao Minshen stretched out his hand and held Shen Yunjin down.

"It's okay. The king did not admit it."

"Anyway, it's still a long way to Shuzhong."

"We'll know what Fourth Brother is thinking in the future."

"Then we can't let Mo Yi and the others show up, so that King Rui will have no evidence."

"That's what the king planned as well."

"It just so happens that Li Dashan and his men have helped me a lot."

"With them here, Mo Yi and the others will have a much easier time."

In order to prevent the princes from harming the baby in Concubine Lin's belly, the emperor ordered all the princes to stay away from the capital.

If King Rui approached King Qi with bad intentions.

When they know about the existence of Mo Yi and others, a secret letter will be sent to the emperor.

Once the emperor finds out that the Prince of Qi has private soldiers, he will definitely issue a hunting order and make sure they can't escape even if they have wings!
