The Chitose Army... is no longer the Chitose Army that once fought with Prince Jing through life and death.

Over the long years, it has been divided, intimidated, and disintegrated by various means used by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The disobedient ones have been killed, and only the obedient ones can stay alive.

There are no reinforcements.

Chen Ji suddenly felt powerless, as if no matter how much effort he put in, a hand would always stretch out and correct the fate he had tried so hard to change one by one.

Could it be that the hexagrams calculated by Master cannot be changed at all? Is this fate?

no!

Chen Ji stood surrounded by the Chitose Army officers and soldiers, like an isolated rock in the ocean tide. However, before the officers and soldiers could surround him, he refused to advance but retreated, like an icebreaker in the ocean, heading straight for the general!

No one thought that he was so arrogant and even intended to kill the general. Caught off guard, the general waved his halberd. The halberd whizzed towards him, but stopped firmly in Chen Ji's hand.

Chen Ji shook his wrist vigorously: "Let go!"

An immense force was transmitted from the halberd body to the hands of the general, so shocked that he had no choice but to let go: "Xing Guan, close to the innate!"

The other soldiers saw this and surrounded them, but Chen Ji's halberd turned its blade and swept across, sweeping everyone away like a rounded crescent.

When they reacted again, they saw that Chen Ji was already standing behind the general, pressing the crescent blade of his halberd against his neck: "The rest of you get out of the way, or his life will be at risk! Speak and tell your subordinates to get out of the way!"

The general said solemnly: "My thousand-year-old army is not afraid of death, so it's useless for you to threaten me." Chen Ji sneered: "If you really are not afraid of death, how can you betray your employer for glory?"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers holding halberds looked at each other in confusion.

Chen Ji held the general hostage and slowly retreated towards the gate of the military camp while saying loudly: "Now Prince Jing is being detained by the Secret Service in the inner prison of Luo City. He is committing slander and is in danger. Prince Jing wrote a bloody letter with his own hand, asking me to I brought it to General Wang, hoping that he could rob the prison tonight and take away the prince and the princess. As a result, General Wang promised on the surface, but now he went to the Secret Service with a blood letter to report the letter. This general did the same, slandering me as a remnant of the Liu family. !If I were a remnant of the Liu family, why would I come to your Qiantui Army camp?!"

The military camp was in an uproar. The crescent blade of the halberd in Chen Ji's hand cut into the general's neck, leaving a bloody mark: "If you don't tell the truth, I will take your life now, and we will die together."

General Pian sneered: "How can you escape if you kill me?"

Chen Ji suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, you all, see my appearance clearly. On that day at Luhun Villa, the prince and the princess were beside me, and I led the princess's horse!"

A soldier recognized the trace and said, "I remember him. I thought he was a guest of honor at the palace!"

The husband of the princess was called the consort, and the husband of the princess was called the guest of honor. Although the identity was mistaken, many people did recognize the traces.

Chen Ji breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something else when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man wearing a general's armor climbing up on the arrow tower diagonally behind him. With a stern look on his face, he opened his bow and fired cold arrows, and the gate of the military camp was slowly closing!

He suddenly turned around and blocked the arrow with his body. No, too many people in this military camp have been bribed!

Chen Ji abandoned the body he was holding, and while running hard, he threw the halberd at the general on the arrow tower. The halberd was so powerful that the general bent down quickly, and the halberd barely missed his head, knocking the arrow tower's head off.

The wooden roof was smashed to pieces.

The door of the Chitose Army camp was slowly closing. At the critical moment, Chen Ji flew forward and slipped out through the gap that was about to close.

When he jumped forward and landed on the ground, he suddenly put his hands on the ground, and with one force, he jumped out like a cheetah without stopping at all.

Arrows were shot one after another, but they could not catch up with his footsteps, and could only be nailed to the footprints behind him.

Chen Ji came to where he tied the horse and turned over. He pinched the horse's belly hard, and the horse jumped out like an arrow from the string, leaving all the hustle and bustle behind.

Chen Ji kept urging his horse, forcing the horse to speed up again and again. However, his horse could no longer run and could only trot slowly.

He looked back and made sure no one was chasing him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. But what should he do now?

If General Wang hands the blood letter to Bai Long, the blood letter will be evidence that King Jing instigated the Qiantose Army to rob the prison, which is also a serious crime of treason.

Moreover, once this blood book falls into the hands of Bai Long, Chen Ji will also be an accomplice... Perhaps as long as he catches up with General Wang, there will be room for change, but he is destined to be unable to catch up. The other party is much faster than him.

.Two hours later, when the head of Luo City appeared on the horizon, Chen Ji's hand on the reins slowly tightened, and the horse slowed down, and finally pedaled on the spot.

He looked at the city gate in front of him, his brows solemn: It was still too late to escape from Ning Chao.

Just like Si Caogui and Wu Hongbiao, they first go to Jinling and Yangzhou to hide from the wind and hide on a cruise ship on the Qinhuai River for a month or two, and then take a circuitous route north to Jingchao.

From now on, the affairs of Ning Dynasty have nothing to do with him anymore. Those people and things will always be forgotten one day.

Chenji seems to see a road of bones paved into the city, with white snow falling on the broken bones. The broken bones are like a different kind of thorns. Once you walk up, you can't look back.

He looked up in a daze and saw snowflakes really falling from the sky. This was the third snowfall this winter in Luo City.

Go or stay? Can't go.

The next moment, Chen Ji rode his horse again and rushed into Luo City at high speed. When he was approaching the inner prison, he suddenly heard someone calling his name: "Chen Ji, why are you here?"

Chen Ji suddenly turned around and saw Jin Zhu leading Xifeng out of the carriage.

He wondered: "Master Golden Pig, aren't you arresting Concubine Yun? Why are you here in the inner prison?"

The golden pig was full of anger: "I am looking for clues about Concubine Yun. Bailong suddenly sent someone to pass the command and summoned all the zodiac animals to go to the inner prison. I don't know what kind of trouble this guy is going to make. He treats everyone day by day.

The monkey is playing, it will come when you call it, and it will go when you wave it!"

With that said, he went to knock on the iron door of the inner prison: "Open the door!"

When the jailer opened the door, the golden pig walked down the stairs first. He found that no trace had been moved, so he turned around and asked in confusion: "Come on, what are you doing standing still?"

Chen Ji hummed and walked on. He didn't know why Bailong suddenly summoned all the zodiac signs, and he didn't know what would happen next.

He only knew that he, Prince Jing, the Crown Prince, and the princess were all hanging on by a thread. Entering the dim corridor, Chen Ji could see the end at a glance. Many people had gathered in front of the door of Cell No. 1. Feng Daban and White dragons stand side by side.

When he passed Cell No. 7 again, the Crown Prince and Bai Li were standing in the cage holding the railings. The Crown Prince hurriedly asked Jin Zhu: "Master Golden Pig, what happened? Why are so many people here? What are you going to do?" ?」

Neither Golden Pig nor Chen Ji answered.

When the two came to the door of Cell No. 1, Bai Long didn't speak, his expression hidden behind the mask.

Feng Daban smiled slightly and said, "You have worked hard recently. First, you put down the rebellion of the Liu family, and then arrested the culprit of the rebellion in Prince Jing's Mansion."

Chen Ji's pupils suddenly contracted.

The next moment, Feng Daban took out a page from his sleeve, with words written on it in blood: "Today, King Jing wrote a letter in blood, ordering the Qiantou Army to come and rob the prison, committing the crime of treason!"

Cloud Sheep, White Rabbit, Dream Rooster, and Golden Pig looked at each other, they had just learned about this!

Feng Daban smiled and said: "Fortunately, there is a young hero in our ceremonial department. After deceiving the blood letter from Prince Jing, he immediately handed it over to me, so that Prince Jing and the Chitose Army would not make a big mistake... Yes. Is it, old traces?”

Yunyang, Jiaotu, Mengji and others all turned back to look at Chen Ji, with an inexplicable look flashing in their eyes. Everyone knew that he had a close relationship with Prince Jing's palace, but they did not expect that he would betray Prince Jing in the end.

Chen Ji was stunned in place.

He thought the blood book would be in Bai Long's hands, but he didn't expect that Feng Daban was planning all this behind the scenes. Bai Long didn't say a word from beginning to end.

What is the identity of Feng Daban? Is he a sick tiger? Or is he not one of the zodiac signs but above them?

He knew that General Wang had tricked General Wang into giving the bloody book to Feng Daban, but now Feng Daban said that he had deceived it from Prince Jing.

Why? Why? Why!?

Chen Ji turned to look at Cell No. 1, and saw Prince Jing looking at him. His eyes were neither sad nor happy, and had no emotion.

In the damp and cold inner prison, Chen Ji felt a loud bang in his head, as if something exploded.

Jin Zhu poked Chen Ji with his arm, lowered his voice and reminded: "Speak!"

Chen Ji came back to his senses, his heart felt cold, he cupped his fists and saluted: "Reporting to Feng Daban, I was just doing my duty despite my humble position."

Feng Daban raised his hand and gave him two false presses: "Don't be humble. If it weren't for you this time, it would be really difficult for our Chief of Ceremonies to convict Prince Jing. This is a great achievement. I will tell you when I return to the capital." Your inner appearance is clear, so I’ll give you more credit.”

After saying that, he smiled and pulled out a white scroll from his sleeve: "Just in time, the order for your promotion to Interior Minister Hai Dongqing has also arrived. Congratulations. In the future, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and your achievements will never be forgotten. Our ceremonial supervisor is We need young talents like you to serve our country."

Chen Ji took a few steps forward and took the scroll: "Thank you, Feng Daban."

Feng Daban smiled half-heartedly: "You don't have to thank me. Thank you, Mr. Neixiang, for your appreciation. Three days later, Bailong, Yunyang, White Rabbit, and Golden Pig will escort Prince Jing to the capital."

After saying that, Feng Daban turned to Bai Long and said, "Please, Lord Bai Long, you and I will lead people to Prince Jing's Mansion to inventory and ransack the property, and then discuss the trip back to the capital."

Bailong smiled: "Okay."

After the two of them left, Jiaotu tilted his head and looked at Chen Ji curiously: "Actually, even if you openly let go of the matter of arresting Prince Jing's Mansion, no one would say anything. After all, you, the prince, and the princess are friends. I didn’t expect you to be so cruel, you stabbed them with your own hands.”

Chen Ji remained silent.

Yunyang smiled and said: "You are becoming more and more like a Chinese zodiac sign."

Suddenly, Chen Ji said with a smile: "Master Yunyang, thank you very much. It is not easy for me to be promoted to Haidongqing from a humble position. I plan to hold a banquet at Yingxian Tower tomorrow to celebrate this matter. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite some adults to reward you?"

The golden pig laughed: "Go, let's go together to celebrate your success! Hey, Mengji, come and have a drink too. When was the last time we had a drink? It was the time when His Majesty entertained the ministers on his southern tour. ?」

Mengji swept the dust on his sleeves and said, neither salty nor bland, "Just drink, you have nothing to do."

The golden pig looked at Yun Yang and the bright rabbit again: "Where are you two? Give me some face, we are colleagues, not enemies."

Before Yunyang could speak, Jiaotu replied with a smile: "Okay, let's go together. But I want to drink the Huadiao that has been stored in the cellar for thirty years, and it won't be enough for one year less."

"Okay, if that Huadiao loses one year, I will cut off the head of the owner of Yingxian Tower and play it with a ball!" Jinzhu put his arms around Chen Yu's shoulders and walked out: "Let's go, let's have a celebration banquet at Yingxian Tower. Come and ask for it for you. Before, I was worried about whether you would start something stupid, but now that you have figured it out, I am even happier than you are. Just remember, it doesn’t matter what kind of false feelings you have in this world, power is only real when you hold it in your hands. !」

When the two passed by Cell No. 7, Chen Ji subconsciously looked into the cell.

Two lines of tears flowed down Bai Li's cheeks, and finally gathered on his chin, dripping to the ground. The iron fence between the two of them was like an abyss, out of reach.
Chapter completed!
