Chapter 2071 Your Highness is finally back
Wan Jiaojiao's suggestion is indeed the most correct choice at the moment.
Li Chen doesn't act like a son or daughter.
He just thought about it briefly and said, "Wang En."
Behind Xu Wei, Wang En, with a weathered face, came out.
"Go to a nearby house with female relatives, give them some money, and ask the female relatives to come and take Jiaojiao to Haosheng for care. You bring a few guards to protect me. After I return to Beijing, I will immediately arrange for people to greet me. There must be no mistake.
.”
Wang En immediately clasped his fists and said: "I humbly obey my orders."
Li Chen stood up and put Wan Jiaojiao on the carriage, turned to Wang En and said sternly: "If everything goes well, I will certainly reward you, but if anything goes wrong, I will want your head, do you hear me?"
Wang En did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Wan Jiaojiao seems to be His Highness's maid, but in fact she is a loyal confidant, and now she is a real servant. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the crown prince's concubine, and she would not dare to give Wang En a hundred courages.
Neglect.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will ensure the safety of Miss Wan Jiaojiao in this humble position. I dare not slack off in the slightest."
Li Chen turned around and told Wan Jiaojiao: "I will return to Beijing first, and I will immediately arrange for someone to pick you up, so you can have a good rest."
Wan Jiaojiao nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I can take care of myself."
Li Chen turned around and mounted his horse, saying: "Leave ten people and Wang En to protect Wan Jiaojiao, and the rest will follow me to the capital."
"Here!"
The group of people disappeared in the wind and snow.
Even though the city walls of the capital were already in sight, it was still two hours later when we actually arrived outside the Shenwu Gate of the capital.
Looking at the familiar flow of people and the familiar streets of the capital, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
There is both the joy of returning home and the relief of seeing everything is normal.
At least the worst didn't happen.
Once it happens, the capital will be under martial law and no one will be allowed in or out.
Just as he was about to enter the city, a cry of death came.
Xu Wei and others reacted very quickly and surrounded Li Chen almost immediately.
At this time, Li Chen also saw in the distance, a man covered in blood at the city gate, staggering out with a blood-stained weapon in his hand.
Behind him, there were more than ten pursuers chasing him.
Killing people in the street.
No matter which dynasty you are in, it is a major event.
But the strange thing is that no officers or soldiers appeared to stop it.
You know, this is a city gate, and there must be officers and soldiers guarding it.
But the officers and soldiers who should have appeared at Shenwumen seemed to have disappeared from the world at this moment.
"Your Highness, you are the guard of the East Palace!"
Xu Wei saw clearly the clothes of the man being chased and immediately said urgently.
"Save him and bring him here." Li Chen ordered.
Xu Wei responded and immediately led people there.
Although the people who were chasing him were troublesome, they were no match for Xu Wei. In just a moment, the dozen or so people he was chasing had been eliminated. Xu Wei was smart enough to leave two gaps, and the one who was seriously injured fell to the ground.
The guards of the East Palace, who could only breathe out but not in, were brought to Li Chen.
Li Chen looked at the East Palace guard and said in a deep voice: "Look up, do you recognize me?"
The guard had lost much strength and struggled to raise his head with vague consciousness to look at Li Chen.
With just one glance, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Chapter completed!
