Chapter 471 Arrival in the Imperial City
Has Xifenglie's army left Tiansheng?
Sikong Jin raised an eyebrow in surprise. That guy probably didn't reveal the Phoenix Jade, right?
Feng Yu lent Xi Feng Lie her original intention in doing so because she was worried he might run into the Wing King. Another reason was that the item could help Xi Feng Lie recover faster, so…
If this guy finds out that Feng Yu was lent to Xi Fenglie, what will happen?
Isn't this going to cause an uproar?
Thinking of this, Lord Sikong couldn't help but shudder. He subconsciously stared at Di Beizun's handsome face, trying to discern something from it. Seeing that Di Beizun seemed to have no major reaction other than some displeasure, he figured that Di Beizun probably didn't know about Feng Yu's matter.
This matter made her extremely uneasy the whole way, fearing that Di Beizun would find out, and if that happened, she would be finished!
What an important keepsake!
Sikong Jin couldn't possibly be unaware of this, but...
Sikong Jin braced himself, took a deep breath, and laughed, "That was a long time ago. Anyway, you've already tacitly agreed to release them. Alright, alright, their lives and deaths are none of my concern from now on. I'll only worry about your life and death from now on. Isn't that enough? For you, I can bear everything, and even, as you said, I can kill the whole world. Your Majesty, you must believe in my deep affection for you... Hmm!"
Before Lord Sikong could finish his rambling, Emperor Beizun reached out and pulled him into his arms. Before Lord Sikong could even utter a cry of surprise, he had already lowered his head and captured her soft, rose-pink lips with his own, invading her with unstoppable force...
She didn't know how much time had passed, until Sikong Jin felt she could barely breathe. Only then did he reluctantly release her, looking at her panting with unfathomable eyes, and said with an incomprehensible smile, "Ajin, by my side, I will let you be a little woman who only needs to care about me."
"You like petite women?"
Sikong Jin was panting heavily, staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
Emperor Beizun smiled calmly and shook his head, "Whether I like it or not depends on whether it's you or not!"
Sikong Jin rolled her eyes, but didn't mind snuggling into his arms, snuggling close to him, her slender arms around his shoulders, "I didn't know Your Majesty liked me so much."
Di Beizun didn't respond, but instead wrapped his arm around her waist, lowered his head slightly, and buried his face in her neck...
When we arrived at the capital of Dayong, it was already evening on the third day. Of course, a carriage was not as fast as riding a horse.
However, they did not encounter any assassins along the way. They probably never imagined that they would be traveling so openly and honestly.
No matter how capable Emperor Da Yong's spies were, Fengyun Tower's intelligence agency was not to be underestimated. Before setting off, they had secretly arranged for several groups of people to travel in different directions, all dressed as Di Beizun and Sikong Jin had been. Meanwhile, Di Beizun and Sikong Jin leisurely boarded their carriages.
Having diverted their attention, they were also unaware that Sikong Jin would return to the capital so openly and directly.
The Imperial City of Dayong is now heavily guarded, and the guards at the city gates are conducting very strict checks.
"Master, should we enter the city now, or go directly to the new building?"
The procession finally came to a slow stop along the official road in front of the city gate, and the voices of their subordinates could be heard from outside.
Sikong Jin raised her hand to lift the curtain, silently gazing at the heavily guarded, tall, and magnificent city before her, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly—
After a long absence, I, Sikong Jin, have returned to the capital!
I've almost forgotten when I last left, and I can't even remember the weather that day!
She vaguely remembered that she had racked her brains to win that opportunity, leading the soldiers of the Four Banners Army to the northwest border to quell the riots and solve the famine, while her mother was trapped here. Over the years, she had been constantly accumulating strength, all for the day when she could lead her army back to rescue the people she cared about.
Especially after learning about Koki Ten's situation, the suppressed hatred in his heart surged up again!
This time!
She's determined to wipe out Yu Saki!
"Go back to the branch building first, and we'll make plans after we've investigated the situation in the city. You can use a signal flare to inform Changfeng and have him come to the building to see me immediately."
Di Beizun responded indifferently, lifted the curtain, glanced at the Dayong Imperial City bathed in the setting sun, and then withdrew his hand after a moment. He turned to Sikong Jin and said, "Ajin, let's go back to the building first. We'll know the specific situation in the city tonight when Changfeng arrives."
Sikong Jin listened and could only nod.
Looking at the heavily guarded imperial city before him, with more than half the usual number of soldiers on guard, it was clear that Emperor Dayong had made preparations well in advance.
However, it's unclear whether he knows that the person who accompanied her back this time was Di Beizun. If he really knew it was Di Beizun, his expression would probably be quite interesting.
"While I'm at it, I'll send someone to the Ji residence to check on things. Tonight, I'll see if I should sneak into the city and contact Tang Jingyao. He's probably the only one who knows the most about what's going on in the court. When will the gates of the Dayong Imperial City close?"
After thinking for a moment, Sikong Jin added this sentence.
"Madam, the gates of the Great Yong Imperial City are closing very early now. They will be closed immediately after midnight, and the number of patrols in the city has also increased significantly. The Ji residence is surrounded like an impregnable fortress; not even a fly can get in! Unless you have an imperial edict or someone from the Central Plains Legal Affairs Bureau who is going to investigate the situation, you can't get in. Tang Jingyao is now the Grand Secretary of the Legal Affairs Bureau, so it would be most appropriate to ask him for information."
The voice of his subordinate could also be heard from outside.
Sikong Jin nodded. "Very good. Let's go back to your building now and discuss our next move tonight!"
The branch of Fengyunlou in the Dayong Imperial City is located deep in a large bamboo forest less than 20 miles outside the imperial city.
It's somewhat similar to the one in Taizhou City; it's a large, secluded manor, but it's heavily guarded and full of traps.
When Di Beizun and Sikong Jin arrived, the subordinates of the branch building were already respectfully waiting in front of the manor gate.
"Greetings, Master; greetings, Madam!"
Dozens of people dressed in black outfits bowed deeply in unison.
"Get up."
Di Beizun uttered these words indifferently, dismounted swiftly, and strode inside. Sikong Jin nodded, dismounted as well, and followed closely behind.
Wine and food had been prepared in the building. The group had been traveling for a long time, and Sikong Jin was feeling quite hungry. After washing her hands, she sat down without any hesitation.
