Chapter 300 Different thoughts
Song Yi gnashed his teeth and said, "Xie Zihan, didn't you say he was not in Shangjing City?"
"This..." Xie Zihan was at a loss for words.
Song Yi didn't expect that Xie Zihan and Lu Zhong would make such a big mistake the first time they helped him find someone.
Song Shao was clearly in Shangjing City, but they lied to themselves and found nothing?
Seeing the person approaching, Song Yi's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why is the prince here?"
He sent so many people out, but no one came back to report, but now Song Shao appeared before him.
He knew without thinking too much that those people were probably in great danger.
Song Shao came in front of everyone and glanced at Song Yi: "Where do you think I should be, Third Brother?"
As soon as he spoke, the envoys who had been greeting Lu Zhong came over to greet him.
When Song Yi saw the envoy coming, he instantly returned to his usual self. He smiled and said, "Fifth brother has been missing for more than a month. The emperor is just too worried about you."
Worried? If he was worried, he was only worried about not dying.
Although Song Shao had something in mind, he said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Third Brother."
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the crowd and found a seat to sit down by himself.
Did his good brother think he would really die? I'm afraid he would be disappointed.
Thinking of this, Song Shao gradually curled the corners of his lips, and his gratitude towards Shen Jingxuan increased a little more.
If Song Yi had not met Shen Jingxuan and others that day, perhaps he would have gotten what he wanted.
Now that he missed the chance to assassinate me, I won't give him a second chance.
The envoys of Xiling Kingdom came to Song Shao one after another, and when they saw that he looked normal and did not seem unwell, they gradually put their minds at ease, having been worried for a long time.
Song Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xie Zihan and said, "Is this what you said about not being in Shangjing City? Have you been searching for a month but to no avail?"
There were many people in the post house at this time, so it was inconvenient for him to talk more about this matter with Xie Zihan.
But seeing Song Shao sitting in front of him unharmed, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Just as Song Shao had thought, almost all the people he brought with him died on the way to hunt Song Shao down, and now there are only a few people left around him who can be used.
Although we still have manpower, we cannot send them to assassinate him again.
Now that Song Shao has returned safely, he not only has to take care of his own safety, but also has to be on guard against his revenge at all times.
Xie Zihan was puzzled: "When did he show up? Shangjing City is under strict inspection every day, and he has indeed not been seen."
The moment he saw Song Shao, Xie Zihan's heart tightened.
The person whom he and Lu Zhong had sent people to search for all day without success suddenly appeared in front of everyone, leaving Xie Zihan confused for a moment as to what was going on.
Song Yi and Xie Zihan looked at each other and then looked away.
If you want to know the truth of the matter, apart from Song Shao telling you himself, you can only slowly investigate it later.
Seeing Song Shao sitting there, Lu Zhong stepped forward and asked, "Why didn't the Prince of Xiling enter the city with the envoys, but came alone?"
The city gates had already been tightened with checks, so if Song Shao entered the city, there was no way he would not have received the news.
Now seeing him sitting here, Lu Zhong couldn't help but think that he had arrived in Shangjing City before the strict investigation.
But it has been more than a month since then. Thinking of this, Lu Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly.
Only he and Xie Zihan knew how thoroughly the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion had interrogated them.
Lu Zhong had to admire Song Shao for being able to avoid being found during such a thorough search.
He has been an official for many years and has met all kinds of people. Now looking at Song Shao in front of him, he can only remind Xie Zihan to be more careful.
Song Shao is by no means as simple as he appears to be, nor is he the incompetent prince as Song Yi claims.
"The people of Beiling are simple and honest, and the scenery along the way is pleasant, so we will stay on the road for some time." Song Shao said lightly.
Song Yi knew that there was something wrong in his words, but he couldn't say it in front of the envoy.
Most of those people were loyal to Emperor Xiling or supported Crown Prince Song Shao.
He couldn't let those people catch him doing anything wrong, otherwise even if he returned to Xiling Kingdom, his father would not let him go.
Xie Zihan took two steps forward and was about to continue asking questions when he saw Lu Zhong shaking his head slightly at him.
He continued to move forward and then quickly retracted his steps.
When leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhong reminded him not to be too impulsive in his words and deeds.
Seeing Lu Zhong's application at this time, he knew that he should not pursue it too much and could only discuss it after returning home.
Song Shao smiled secretly as he watched the two men's actions. They thought that no one noticed what they did, but they didn't know that he was in the capital every day and saw everything.
So what if they wanted to help Song Yi catch me? I wonder how they will feel when they know that Xie Lingxiao already knows about it.
When Song Shao thought of Xie Lingxiao, the corners of his lips gradually curled up. He wondered if the collusion between the Crown Prince of Beiling and the Prince of Xiling was a good thing for him.
Everyone in the inn had different thoughts. Xie Lingxiao and Shen Jingxuan were listening to Ling Feng's report in the study.
"The prince of Xiling has arrived at the posthouse, and Song Shao has also restored his appearance and joined them."
Xie Lingxiao stared at Ling Feng with an unpleasant expression: "Are the people of Luofeng Temple so incompetent? The people have already arrived at the posthouse, and the news has just been delivered?"
If this happens every time, what's the point of him spending money to support so many people?
They know only when the person has arrived, so even without them, he can still know.
When Ling Feng heard what Xie Lingxiao said, he had no way to refute.
No matter what happened in the past, the news from Luofeng Temple would always come out much earlier, but it had never happened like today.
"Go check and see where the mistake occurred." Xie Lingxiao said.
Shen Jingxuan looked at his angry expression and said, "It's too late, so why do you have to be so angry?"
"Maybe there was a delay on the road. Let Ling Feng check the reason."
It's not just Luofeng Temple. So many people have been dispersed from Chiyan Temple, but still no reliable news has been received.
Shen Jingxuan was a little confused for a moment.
If only the news from the Scarlet Flame Temple was late, she wouldn't think too much about it, but the people from the Falling Maple Temple were also late, so they couldn't help but think too much.
Xie Lingxiao was angry: "Now they are the only ones coming to attend the birthday banquet. If they attack Beiling Country, do they have to wait until the enemy is at the gates of the city before they send the message?"
He didn't want to get angry, but if something like this happened once, it would happen again.
If they are not severely punished, they will be caught off guard the next time something serious happens.
The Beiling Kingdom is now in chaos, and all the news from the Luofeng Temple is particularly important to him.
Shen Jingxuan said: "The news is too late, so think about what to do next, and let Ling Feng investigate those things."
Although the matter was not as serious as Xie Lingxiao said, his worries were not wrong.
"Send people to keep an eye on the people of Xiling Country, including Song Shao."
"Xie Zihan and the Prime Minister's Mansion must not let down their guard either."
After Xie Lingxiao gave the instructions one by one, he sat there in a daze, his dark brows gradually furrowed.
