The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital
Chapter 281 Parting ways
Su Mo took the Five Cities Army and left with orders.
Mo Chuyi turned around and looked at their backs with some worry: "Master, this is a serious matter. Do you want to send more people to assist?"
Su Mo had been in the Wucheng Bingmasi for a long time and had never really experienced any killing. However, if the wolf smoke was not negotiated, blood would definitely be shed.
"He can." The War King glanced at Su Mo's back indifferently. Once the man who had been bending over had the opportunity to stand up straight, the bloodiness in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Just listen to the master's arrangements." Bai Shiwu glanced at Mo Chuyi, who was always worried, and squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and rushed directly to the front of Jingjiwei.
He said condescendingly, "Captain of the Jingji Guards, the prince ordered you to take a detour to Songcheng to ambush Zongkui."
"Songcheng?! Your Highness, do you really think that the Regent of Nanqing will go to Songcheng?!" The commander-in-chief of the Jingji Guard looked at Bai Shiwu and asked coldly.
"Of course." Bai Shiwu adjusted his cufflinks with a smile on his lips.
"Your Highness, what if Zongkui didn't go to Songcheng?!" The commander-in-chief of the Jingji Guard looked at the Zhan Wang who was not far away with dissatisfaction. In fact, the Jingji Guard had already made enemies with the Zhan Wang when the Zhan Wang returned to the capital.
The two should have nothing to do with each other, but this time, the emperor ordered the War King to lead the Jingji Guards to pursue Zongkui.
The War King is now telling the Jingji Guards to take a detour. Is this a plot or a stunt to steal the credit?!
Zong Kui is not crazy, why would he go to Songcheng?
Even if there is a ferry and a pier, it is impossible to leave without a boat, and the Songcheng ferry in Dongchu will definitely not allow foreign ships to stay.
At Dongchuhai Ferry, only Tongzhou allows ships from other countries to stay.
So what’s the point of Zongkui going to Songcheng?
The Jingji Guard had the best supply of horses, so if we really were to judge by stamina, they would definitely be the fastest. But the War King had the Jingji Guard take a detour to Song City. His heart was abominable!
Ah!
The War King snorted coldly: "If you delay any longer, you will be punished by military law!"
He did not explain or say much, but just glanced coldly at the commander-in-chief of the Jingji Guard, his eyes like a sharp blade piercing the commander-in-chief's chest.
The commander-in-chief felt a chill in his heart.
"Hurry up and go. If Zong Kui really goes to Songcheng, but you are delayed by these few words and fail to stop him, then you will be the sinner of Dongchu!" Bai Shiwu said coldly.
The head of the Jingji Guards had a grim expression on his face. He wasn't sure what Zong Kui would do. However, if Zong Kui really did head straight for Song City as the War King said, then if the Jingji Guards could stop Zong Kui, it would definitely be a great achievement.
"The last general takes command!"
The commander-in-chief took a deep breath, turned around and took the route on behalf of the Jingji Guard.
"Your Highness, what about our Jinwu Guard?" The leader of the Jinwu Guard looked at the War King expectantly, thinking that the War King also had arrangements for them.
"The Jinwu Guards follow this king."
The War King kicked his horse's belly, left these words behind, and rode away at full speed.
Bai Shiwu and Mo Chuyi followed closely behind.
King Wei of Zhan rode his horse and followed.
The leader of the Jinwu Guards scratched his head and waved his hand, "Follow the War King!"

At this moment, not only the War King realized the problem of the wolf smoke, Su Jixue also looked towards the capital from time to time. There was no wolf smoke along the capital.
Su Jixue's eyes flickered: "Eleven, prepare for the siege."
The signal smoke was not lit as promised.
And Zong Kui rushed to Songcheng, so it is very likely that he can really get a boat.
If Emperor Ming changes his mind, or Empress Dowager Xie regains control of the situation, no matter which one happens, it will be beneficial to Zongkui.
Manager Huo turned his head and glanced at Su Jixue. Perhaps it was because he grew up in the Beast Mountain, but Su Jixue had an instinctive intuition that was almost like that of an animal.
Siege?
This means that there are probably people belonging to Zongkui or the Queen Mother in Songcheng.
Su Jixue said these two words without any hesitation, as casually as when she said in the Great Wilderness Mountain that whoever she wanted to kill must be killed.
At this moment, dark clouds spread from the sky to the top of the head. The rising sun was blocked by the thick clouds. It was dark all around and a cold wind suddenly blew.
"It's going to rain." Manager Huo looked up at the sky.
It's not easy to go out to sea in this kind of weather.
Su Jixue felt a little stuffy in her chest. She had not been able to catch up with Zong Kui yet. You know, Zong Kui's current physical condition is not suitable for riding a horse, so he must be riding in a carriage.
Logically, they should be able to track down Zong Kui and his group now.
If not...
Su Jixue's face looked a little ugly. Unless Zong Kui did not take the carriage and changed to a fast horse on the way, he might have almost reached Songcheng now.
"The garrison commander of Song City seems to have been in office for many years." Su Jixue frowned and pondered his impression of Dongchu officials.
She forgot who was the garrison commander of Song City, but she knew that this position seemed to have never been replaced.
"Song Yu," said Chief Steward Huo, "has been in office for twelve years."
"Whose man is he?" Su Jixue frowned slightly. Songcheng is an economic and trade hub. To be able to hold such a garrison position steadily for twelve years, he must have a background.
Who does he belong to?
"He is Prime Minister Zhuang's disciple." Manager Huo thought for a while and said, so no one moved that position because Prime Minister Zhuang had always been sitting firmly on the position of Prime Minister.
"Prime Minister Zhuang?" Su Jixue quickly searched in her mind for the people from Dongchu who had defected to Nanqing, her face looking a little ugly.
"Song Yu might be Zong Kui's thorn."
Among the names of people in the lineage of Prime Minister Zhuang, there should be Song Yu.
Su Jixue finally remembered the person who had been particularly favored by Zong Kui, and it was Song Yu. Zong Kui even sent a gift for Song Yu's mother's birthday.
No wonder we have to take the water route.
It’s probably too late to go to Songcheng now.
*
At this moment, Songcheng has come into Zongkui's sight.
Zong Kui's face was extremely pale, but his fingers were tightly gripping the reins, and his other hand was swinging the whip fiercely.
"Young Master!" Bei Su worriedly rode his horse to guard on one side.
"Don't try to persuade us, otherwise no one will be able to escape." Zong Kui suppressed the bloody smell rising in his throat.
They are almost here.
*
"Master Huo, take your men to Songcheng."
Dark clouds gathered over the sky and a storm was about to come. Su Jixue made a decision suddenly.
"Eleven, come with me to Tongzhou." Su Jixue looked at the map in her hand. It might be too late to rush to Songcheng now.
Now, the only way to stop the person is to intercept him at the next stop.
Emperor Jing is dead, and this matter cannot be concealed for too long, because Ji Xue had already arranged people to protect Emperor Jing. If Emperor Jing dies, it means that the people arranged by Ji Xue must have been in trouble.
Then, those troublemakers will definitely not give up.
Nanqing cannot be safe and sound.
"If we can catch up, Zongkui will die!" Master Huo said in a deep voice.
This time, he will not let Zongkui escape back.
"But if you can't catch up, you have to be careful." Master Huo looked at Su Jixue with some worry. If this was the case, it meant that something must have happened in Songcheng.
It is very likely that Empress Dowager Xie issued some secret order.
The situation in Songcheng is like this, and it is hard to say what the situation is in Tongzhou.
"If you meet the King of War, ask him to send Bai Shiwu to find me." Su Jixue glanced at Master Huo deeply, believing that the King of War would understand her intention.
