"Yes, last night less than an hour after the city gate was locked, several people rushed a horse carriage towards the East City Gate!"

  The King of Lanling understood.

  He immediately ordered: "Release the carrier pigeon! Order all the guards of the ten camps in the southeast to move out! Whoever can stop that woman for me, Gao Changgong will reward him with 20 taels of silver!"

  "Yes!"

  He mounted his horse and ordered, "They left the city at the end of last night's watch, and now it has been seven watches, which means they haven't rested all night. The journey shouldn't be more than 150 miles. From the east gate to Jiankang, there is one official road, and a total of seven ordinary roads that can be detoured! Order the troops to arrange people and horses at the throat of each road."

  "Yes!"

  The King of Lanling gazed eastward, thinking to himself: The ten camps in the southeast are all deployed three hundred to five hundred miles away from Ye City. According to estimates, at the latest within three days, there will be good news coming.

  At this time, the sky was bright, and the cavalry of the Langling Wangfu were running wildly in Ye City, attracting attention for a while.

  Outside the palace, Zheng Yu's carriage stood quietly, watching the black-armored guards rushing to and fro at the gate, her face quickly sank.

  Why is her joy always just for a moment?

  In the blink of an eye, she saw Langling Wang rush out of the mansion. Zheng You was about to call out, but before he could open his mouth, he had already rushed out like a whirlwind. What mental preparation did he have for others?

  As soon as he left the East City Gate, Prince Lanling rushed towards the Imperial Guard Cavalry Camp three hundred miles away.

  According to the information received, there were not many people and horses escorting Zhang Qi out of the city last night. In this case, either the empress made a quick decision, plotted against Zhang Qi's life halfway, and then found an excuse to deceive herself and others. Of course, the risk of doing so is too great, and the probability of not being discovered by oneself and the emperor is too small, she should not have acted in this way.

  Another thing is that she let someone bring a letter of introduction to the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment and have them escort Zhang Qi all the way back to South Chen.

  Based on his understanding of Tai Hou, her choice was likely the second one. So, he should be able to see Zhang Gui in the Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment!

  Just thinking about it, Langling Wang's heart was burning with fire.

  Today's weather swept away the previous spring and sunny days, with a gloomy sky shrouded in dark clouds, adding a few degrees of bleakness.

  "Gallop, gallop..." The King of Lanling urged his horse to go faster and faster. Faster and faster. The rare and famous horse under him was already running wildly, and with another burst of frantic whipping, it shot out like an arrow, leaving the guards far behind in an instant.

  Divider line

  Zhang Gui's carriage had been traveling urgently for a whole night and was already more than 100 li away from Ye City.

  The carriage was going so fast that it was getting more and more bumpy, and Zhang Gui, who was already feeling a bit uncomfortable, felt even worse. Every time the carriage stopped, she would rush to the side of the road and vomit until she was dizzy. What made Lou Qi feel at ease was that no matter how hard it was, she never asked the carriage to slow down, nor did she ask it to stop, but only leaned against the window and threw up for a while.

  In less than half a day, her face had turned as pale as paper.

  As they got further away from Ye City, Zhang Gui became increasingly vigilant. That box of gold looked heavy, but when weighed, it was only thirty-seven catties (over sixteen kilograms later), and since the gold was extremely heavy, it took up very little space. After the two maidservants finished their breakfast and got back on the carriage, they discovered that the gold in the box had disappeared. From then on, they kept a close eye on Zhang Gui, but they couldn't figure out where he had hidden the thing.

  In such a hurry, all rest time was saved, and finally, when the night fell, the quiet standing Imperial Guard Regiment was seen!

  Seeing the massive object standing still in the darkness, Lou Qi let out a sigh of relief: Finally, no need to rush day and night. Even Zhang Gui relaxed at this time.

  With these five hundred light cavalry as escort, she should be able to reach Chen territory safely now.

  The horse carriage moved forward quickly and lightly.

  As they walked, Lou Qi narrowed his eyes and said cautiously: "Quickly look! Is there someone in front?"

  As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes widened in unison. Even Zhang Gui hastily lifted the curtain and looked forward.

  A dark shadow loomed over the official road ahead, with a dense blackness that seemed like someone was blocking the way.

  Just as several guards sheathed their swords, Lou Qi loudly said: "Don't panic, what kind of little thief would dare to rob on the road near the Imperial Guard Cavalry Camp? It must be that a group of light cavalry received a flying letter and are waiting in ambush along the way!"

  As soon as this was said, all the guards relaxed at the same time. The speed of the carriage increased by another 30%.

  Before they knew it, they arrived in front of that team.

  Luo Qi and Zhang Qi both looked up at the same time, but it was Qi who suddenly gasped and stood there in a daze!

  What appeared before their eyes was a black cavalry!

  Black Cavalry, Black Troops, Black Armor, Black Guns!

  Hundreds of black cavalrymen stood in formation, as still as mountains. Under the cover of their black armor, pairs of eyes shone brightly in the dark night, staring at them motionlessly!

  The night was so dense, there was not a single ray of light in the sky. Not far away, the cavalry camp had only a few dozen lanterns, and with their own torches, the illuminated area was very limited.

  The faint light of the torch, on this suffocating night, before the silent and motionless black armor, seems so weak!

  Luo Qi's mount took a step back, and after a while, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and said in a hoarse voice: "But isn't that the King of Lanling?"

  In the center of the cavalry formation, a tall and sturdy black horse walked out slowly. The person on the horse slowly removed their helmet, revealing an extremely handsome yet cold face!

  It's Langya Wang!

  Lou Qi hastily dismounted and bowed deeply, saying politely: "Indeed it is Your Highness, Lou Qi pays his respects." He mustered up the courage to look straight at Prince Langling and loudly rebuked him: "We came here under the orders of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager, but we didn't know that Your Highness would block our path. What do you intend to do?"

  The King of Lanling glanced at him and didn't answer his question. He slowly raised his right hand, and as it rose, a suffocating pressure emanated from the Black Cavalry's formation.

  Just as Lou Qi's face changed, Langling Wang's right hand suddenly fell, spitting out four words, "Kill without discussion!"

  Boom!

  The black cavalry moved. Came rushing straight like a mountain torrent.

  Zhang Qi's eyes widened, and all she heard was a loud shout from Lou Qi. Then, she saw the rolling black tide engulf everyone! The black tide surged past her side in waves. Amidst the dull sound of horseshoes, she couldn't even hear a second voice. Everything had come to an end!

  It's all over!

  There was only one lonely carriage, and in it, the two maids, Zhang Qi and another maid, were huddled together, shivering with fear.

  That black torrent surged forward, leaving behind nearly ten corpses before re-forming in a queue behind the horse carriage!

  "Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji!" Thud. The two maidservants simultaneously knelt before her. Knocking their heads against the ground, they trembled and begged: "Zhang Ji, spare our lives, spare our lives..."

  Compared to the other palace maid who had always been gentle with Zhang Yi, this one was now pale as earth. She desperately knocked her head, filled with regret and tears, snot forming a mess on her face.

  Zhang Qi did not respond.

  She hadn't even had time to respond when her chin was suddenly in pain. A large hand grasped it, forcing her to lift her head. She met a pair of profound and icy eyes in the endless darkness!

  The King of Lanling gazed at her with a cold expression.

  This journey has clearly exhausted her. At this moment, her long hair is disheveled, and the short hairs at her temples are stuck together in clumps. Her pink lips are pale and dry, cracked and bleeding. Her usually bright and beautiful eyebrows and eyes are also covered with dust and dirt...

  His wife, in order to escape from him, did not hesitate to become so disheveled and destitute!

  The King of Lanling suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted her onto the horse's back.

  Regardless of the two maidservants who were being dragged along with their heads bowed, he gave a heavy order: "Kill them!" As soon as his voice fell, although it was rough and large, the two maidservants were forcibly pulled down from the carriage. Immediately afterwards, there were two mournful cries that suddenly came out, and then there was no sound again.

  At this time, in the Imperial Guard camp, lanterns and fires were lit one after another, and the sound of people's voices came faintly.

  On horseback, the black-clad Langling King turned his head and slowly said: "Still recognize each other! Send the corpse to the camp. Just say it was I who killed him!"

  "Yes."

  A dozen Black Armors had just dragged away the corpse when Lang Ling Wang lowered his head.

  In the darkness, he stared at Zhang Qi without blinking, slowly tightening his arms.

  His armor was on his body, the hard deck pressed down, making Zhang Qi ache with pain. She had just struggled a little, but he used even more force with both arms!

  After a while, he slowly let her go. He changed Zhang Qi's position again, letting her lean comfortably in his arms, and then turned his head to give a low command, "Let's go back!"

  Yes

  The black cavalry moved. Amidst the rumbling sound of horseshoes, Prince Lanling remained silent.

  Zhang Qi also didn't speak up.

  This day and night, due to the turmoil being too much, Zhang Qi had not slept at all. Now being held by him, although the hard armor was rubbing against her causing pain, although she had unbearable resentment in her heart, somehow, boundless fatigue came flooding in, very quickly, she leaned her head and fell fast asleep in his arms.

  Listening to the faint breathing sound coming from his arms, Langling Wang lowered his head.

  In the flickering light of the torches, her pale face was illuminated, with her long eyelashes fluttering constantly. Her small nose tip seemed to have been wronged in some way, and would occasionally shrink back twice.

  She is exhausted.

  The King of Lanling slowly raised his right hand.

  In a solemn tone, he gave a low command: "Cover all horses' hooves with cloth."

  "Yes."

  "My left and right, no need to burn fire anymore."

  "Yes."

  "Full deceleration."

  "...is." So traveling all night and still having to slow down? In what year and month can we return to Ye City?

  Zhang Qi slept for a full six hours. When she woke up, she was still dazed and confused, either falling asleep again or rushing to the side of the road to vomit.

  Even so, she never said a word to Langling Wang. And Langling Wang only gently wiped her lips with his handkerchief when she vomited. Every time she tried to push him away, he would forcibly lock her struggling hands and continue the action. Then, he would put her back on the horse's back and hold her tight again.

  After walking like this for more than a dozen hours, they finally arrived at the South City Gate.

  Looking at the endless stream of people at the city gate, a black armored guard leader rode forward and asked in a low voice: "Duke, are we going in like this?"

  Three hundred Black Armor Guards, advancing into the city in this manner, would be enough to stir up the entire city. Therefore, there is a question about these Black Armor Guards.

  The King of Lanling stared ahead, his mouth twitching slightly as he said in a deep voice: "Go in!"

  "Where is the empress dowager?"

  "The Empress Dowager has been bedridden twice this year, her life is almost at an end... don't take it to heart!"

  "Yes!"

  As soon as this shout was heard, three hundred black knights, like a mighty torrent, surged into the city of Ye...
