Chapter 192 Dilemma
After Xiao Jiyun was carried outside the palace, the old eunuch apologized to Xiao Jiyun:
"Your Highness, I'm sorry."
The old eunuch was giving Xiao Jiyun a reminder that they were really going to fight this time, so Xiao Jiyun should be mentally prepared.
"Come boldly."
Xiao Jiyun was also tough and told them to hit them boldly. If it wasn't just thirty sticks, what's the big deal?
As long as he can keep his current position, he will accept even three hundred sticks, let alone thirty sticks.
"Execution!"
Seeing what Xiao Jiyun said, the old eunuch no longer had any worries, and the eunuch who ordered the execution took action.
Soon, screams like slaughtering pigs came from outside the hall.
The emperor heard it, but there was no expression on his face.
After a long time, the screams stopped. At this time, the old eunuch came back to life.
"Your Majesty, the execution of the thirty sticks has been completed."
"Send someone to send him back, and then notify the imperial guards to block the entire Prince Qin's Mansion."
The King of Qin is Xiao Jiyun's title, and the fifth prince Xiao Tianyu is the King of Jin.
The titles of King of Qin and King of Jin are very noble. Unlike Xiao Tingxuan, the title of King Su came out of nowhere, which is like raising a dog.
"promise!"
The old eunuch wanted to go down and do it, but at this moment, the emperor spoke again.
"I don't want anyone to spread what happened today. Do you understand?"
Hearing what the emperor said, the old eunuch was slightly startled at first, and then immediately expressed his stance.
"I understand, I know how to do it."
The old eunuch understood what the emperor meant. The emperor was telling him to let the eunuchs and maids under his command calm down.
Don't say what you shouldn't say. If word of today's incident spreads, no one will be able to take advantage of it.
When Xiao Jiyun was carried out of the palace, the imperial guards blocked the entire Prince Qin's palace, and another undercurrent arose throughout Kyoto.
In the prince's residence.
"How's it going? Have you heard any more news?" the prince asked eagerly.
Two days had passed since Xiao Jiyun entered the palace and came out lying down in front of the Holy Emperor. They couldn't even find out any information. They were really anxious.
It can also be seen from this that the emperor is quite qualified in controlling the palace. Things that he does not want others to know cannot be found out by outsiders.
At the same time, it also shows the old eunuch's ability to do things. He is capable of taking care of the imperial city for the emperor.
Facing the prince's inquiry, the person who came to report shook his head.
"No, the news is blocked and nothing can be released."
"What about those people in the past? Won't they put in more money?" The prince asked again, wondering if the money was not in place.
If the money is available, no one will say anything.
The visitor shook his head again and said: "It won't work this time, no matter how much money we offer, the other party is not willing to accept it.
It is said that His Majesty gave a death order, and anyone who dares to reveal even a word will be dealt with directly by the Yi clan.
In addition, the palace is now heavily guarded and they dare not take risks. "
These people in the palace are very smart, and they have to spend the money with their lives. Otherwise, what is the use of the money? Will it be buried with him and used as start-up capital in the next life?
Hearing this, the prince frowned. Is there really nothing he can do?
At the same time, Xiao Tianyu also encountered the same problem as the prince.
No matter how he tried to open up the relationship, the people in the palace were unwilling to say anything this time, which made him very distressed now.
Speaking of which, Xiao Tianyu and the prince had the same attitude, the emperor's attitude towards Xiao Jiyun.
If the emperor doesn't like Xiao Jiyun anymore, they can join forces to kill Xiao Jiyun first, and then they can compete again.
But now, they don't know the emperor's attitude towards Xiao Jiyun, so if they take action rashly, they may cause the emperor's displeasure.
During this period of undercurrents in Kyoto, after a month of stop and go, Xiao Tingxuan's vassal team had already passed the richest place in the south, and was still a thousand miles away from Sanhe.
And this last thousand miles is also the most difficult journey.
From here to Sanhe, there is no longer any official road, only small roads.
These paths look like no one has walked on them for a long time. The middle of the road is overgrown with weeds, and even passing a carriage is a problem.
Coupled with the hot and humid climate here, it is difficult to walk very far in one day.
This last thousand miles probably took more time than the first two thousand miles.
Fortunately, on the way to the vassal, Xiao Tingxuan passed the fiefdoms of several uncles and brothers. In line with the principle of the king not seeing the king, Xiao Tingxuan extorted a sum of money and food from them.
Otherwise, no matter how well-prepared the Li family is, the materials needed along the way will not be enough for them to consume.
"Uncle, send a few people to clear the way in front. The rest of you should pay attention to safety. If you feel unwell, report it immediately." Xiao Tingxuan ordered Li Nanchun.
Not only are the roads overgrown with weeds, but the bushes on both sides of the road have also spread to the middle of the road. If they are not cleaned up, these horse-drawn carriages carrying supplies will not be able to pass at all.
In addition, Mu Fei reminded him that this place can be said to be the edge of the south. Not only is it hot and humid, but there are also many venomous snakes, so he must be careful.
"yes!"
Li Nanchun took Xiao Tingxuan's order and specially selected a few strong men to clear the way in front.
Just cleaning up while walking like this, the clan team walked for two days before they could barely walk thirty miles. According to this pattern, it would take at least two months for them to reach Sanhe. It was really too slow.
However, do you think this is the end? The slow travel is one reason, and there are more deadly things behind it.
In just two days, people have had diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Xiao Tingxuan and the others didn't know what was going on, but Mu Fei knew it very well. This was a reaction to acclimatization.
In the backward era, acclimatization can be very fatal if it is not treated or compensated in time.
"Sir, what can we do?"
Seeing more and more people being infected, especially the elderly, children, women and children, they will die if they are not treated.
Xiao Tingxuan even heard a voice vaguely, that is, some people began to not want to follow Xiao Tingxuan to Sanhe.
No wonder, it's like this after just a few days of walking. I'm afraid they won't even have their lives in Sanhe.
Sanhe is indeed a place of exile. The climate and environment alone can crush people to death.
Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, Xiao Tingxuan has no choice but to ask for help from Mu Fei, hoping that Mu Fei can give him some help.
Mu Fei is also helpless. He had predicted such a situation before, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. These people couldn't stand it in just two days. They are really weak.
However, Mu Fei would definitely not do it if there was no benefit.
"I can't do anything here, Your Highness, can you ask the system if there is any solution."
Mu Fei reminded Xiao Tingxuan.
"Yes, there is also the system."
After Mu Fei's reminder, Xiao Tingxuan finally realized that he almost forgot about the system.
He thought the system could only draw lots, and he hadn't paid attention to it these days. Maybe he could ask the system to see if there was any solution.
