Chapter 793 All the Way East
The news spread that Murong Jie was still exercising the power of supervising the country.
The carriage went all the way out of the city, Murong Jie was tied to the carriage, and the Seventh Prince was accompanying him.
The driver was Hu San, who had worked as a butcher in Beijing for several years, so he was naturally inserted by Xianbei An. Apart from Hu San, there were also several guards dressed as entourages who accompanied him along the way.
The carriage set off to the east and stayed overnight in Luancheng.
The Seventh Prince did not treat Murong Jie too harshly, and asked someone to prescribe medicine for his injuries, but because of taking the poison, his injuries healed slowly, and new injuries were added along the way.
This new injury was not because he didn't cooperate, the Seventh Prince seemed to be an extremely bloodthirsty person, and he felt uncomfortable without cutting him a few times a day with a dagger.
Staying in Luancheng, Murong Jie knew what was going on.
Although it is going to the southern country, there is a small road going straight to Falcon City from Luan City. Falcon City is by water, although the distance is a bit longer, but it is the safest road.
After staying in Luancheng for one night, he felt better.
But because of the injury, the detoxification function is slow, so if you want to escape, you must be lucky to detoxify before you can kill it.
It's just that the kid didn't believe him, and kept ordering people to stare at him, hoping for luck to cure the poison, how easy is it?
His constitution is not easy to be poisoned, and the poisoning can be solved by itself, but it takes time, and it can be relieved in three to five days. However, in this way, he may not be able to catch up with Lao Ba and Zi'an.
However, he changed his mind, would Lao Ba also take the water route via Luancheng?
He captured Zian, Qin Zhou and Xiao Xiao would definitely go after him, presumably the ancestors would also send someone to chase him, if he went to the south, he would be easily overtaken.
As for taking the water route in Luancheng, not many people know about this route. At least, Xiao Xiao may not know it, and he didn't know it before. It was only later that he planned to take down the southern country, so he studied the route from the capital to the southern country.
The Seventh Prince Murong Nan knew it was not surprising, because he had a lot of Xianbei people under his command, and while keeping his anonymity, he was doing all kinds of livelihoods to make ends meet, and some people would inevitably travel to the north and south.
Besides, if Lao Ba wanted to go back to the southern country, he would have to wait for all the pursuers to retreat before he would show up. In this way, he would not be in a hurry, and would follow Murong Nan on the road by himself, so it would be easier for him to catch up.
Thinking of this, he calmed down.
The door was pushed open, and two guards came in with the Seventh Prince Murong Nan in their arms.
He bowed as soon as he entered the door, "Uncle Emperor, congratulations to you, nephew."
Murong Jie looked at his flower-like face, recalling the cruelty when he cut open his arm with a dagger, he could hardly believe that it was the same person.
"Why do you like it?" Murong Jie asked while sitting cross-legged.
"Father made a decree that the third brother will be the crown prince, and the uncle will still exercise the power of supervising the country. It seems that we don't have to go to the southern country." The seventh prince said with a smile.
Murong Jie's heart sank. At this time, will the emperor decree to make the third son the crown prince? It must not be him.
If it wasn't him, then it must be the ancestor, the ancestor and the emperor fell out.
Offending the old ancestor, I am afraid that the emperor will also suffer at the moment. The old ancestor will either not make a move, or if he does, there will be no room for it.
It's just that, in this way, the emperor is in a hurry, are you afraid...
However, he immediately thought comfortingly, since the ancestor has taken this step, he is afraid that he has already controlled the situation.
Although, he thinks that the situation in the palace and the court is not easy to control, perhaps, it is unknown that the ancestors have this ability.
"Uncle Huang, what do you think?" The Seventh Prince looked at him and asked.
He didn't really ask what he meant, but just wanted to hear his opinion.
Murong Jie thought for a while, "I'm afraid, it's not the emperor, but the empress dowager who canonize your third brother."
"Well, what then?" The Seventh Prince smiled, his face was terribly mature.
Murong Jie didn't say anything, just looked at him.
The seventh prince smiled slyly, "Uncle Huang thinks, should we go back to Beijing or continue to the southern country?"
"Go back to Beijing!" Murong Jie said without thinking.
The Seventh Prince laughed even deeper, "Yes, good to go back to Beijing!"
He looked at Murong Jie and breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly changed his tone, "It's just that my nephew thinks it's safer for us to go to the southern country."
Murong Jie hurriedly said: "Why go to the southern country? The ancestors have always listened to me. If I go back and tell her, you must be the crown prince."
"Okay, then let's go back to Beijing!" The Seventh Prince stared at him seriously.
Murong Jie slowly lowered his leg, "Then we will hurry back to the capital. I promise you that as long as you are willing to detoxify me, I will help you."
The Seventh Prince smiled mysteriously, "Okay!"
He turned and went out.
Murong Jie watched the door lock, but his heart was not relaxed, he was afraid that this kid would not be fooled.
He doesn't want to go back to Beijing now, he just wants to continue chasing Zi'an along the road.
When he saw Murong Nan's expression just now, he knew that he was also undecided, he was not sure about returning to the capital, but if he really helped, he could get the crown prince quickly.
It is safer to go to the Southern Kingdom. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. After slowly taking control of the Southern Kingdom, and then oppressing it back with the power of the Southern Kingdom, although it is slower and time-consuming, it is much safer than returning to Beijing immediately.
Murong Jie did not guess wrongly about the Seventh Prince's thoughts, he wanted to go to the southern country in his heart, but he was just trying to test Murong Jie, if he wanted to go back to the capital, it proved that he did not intend to help him, nor was he completely restrained.
Therefore, he couldn't go back to the capital. He had already sent someone to chase after King Nanhuai. As long as Xia Zian was in his hands, he would not worry about Murong Jie not helping him.
The Seventh Prince decided to continue going to the southern kingdom.
Murong Jie finally heaved a sigh of relief, and cooperated extremely along the way, only waiting for his vitality to improve before he can detoxify.
After passing Falcon City, you have to take the waterway.
Hu Dazao ordered people to prepare a boat. It was an old fishing boat, very dirty.
Murong Jie recalled that the cost of eating and drinking along the way was not very delicate. This kid was very noble in the palace before, but he was able to endure the hardships of this kind of journey at the age of eight. Zhou Zhifu.
When boarding the boat, Hu Da gave Murong Jie a push. He hated Murong Jie very much along the way. Also, he is from Xianbei. Murong Jie led troops to fight against Xianbei in the early years, so the Xianbei people treated him very well. Fear and hate.
Murong Jie staggered, turned around and saw Hu Da's ferocious face, "Abscess!"
Hu Da said bitterly.
The Seventh Prince said indifferently: "Hurry up." As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Jie again, "Uncle Emperor, the waterway is dangerous, you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise, you will spend your life."
Murong Jie looked at him with a half-smile, "This king has lost all his martial arts and is poisoned, how can he play tricks?"
The seventh prince smiled triumphantly, "It's always right to be cautious."
After speaking, he entered the cabin.
Hu Da put away the scorpion and yelled at the others to get on board.
This boat is a small fishing boat, it can only accommodate seven or eight people, but there are actually ten people on board.
Hu Da said: "Little master, why don't we hire another boat? The river is dangerous, and it's not as dangerous as on land."
The Seventh Prince didn't understand waterways at all, but he also knew the dangers. Once the boat capsized in a storm, it would be a waste of time.
After thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, you can hire another boat, the distance between the two boats should not be too far."
"Yes!" After Hu Da finished speaking, he got up lightly and went ashore to collect.
