Chapter 166: The ministers were shocked and Chang'an was in turmoil
"How long has it been?" Qiao Feng asked.
"Two days. It took me two days to get here."
"Okay, Wei Yixiao, you ask Xiao Zhao to arrange for her to rest. I'll go to the Sun Moon Sect to check out the situation."
Qiao Feng turned around and looked at Shi Zhixuan again: "You stay at Guangmingding and don't move around in the next few days."
"I'll go with you." said Kanan.
"Then you follow."
After Qiao Feng finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and leaped up like an eagle. A strong wind blew and he suddenly rushed down the mountain. In just a few breaths, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Others didn't feel anything, but Shi Zhixuan was shocked.
Just now, Qiao Feng definitely used all his strength, and the strong wind seemed to be driving his actions.
This is no longer an ordinary light-to-function ratio.
Qiao Feng descended as if at high speed, and in just over ten breaths, he had already reached the bottom of Guangmingding.
There were disciples of the sect patrolling below, but they failed to notice Qiao Feng flying over their heads on the treetops.
Half an hour later, Qiao Feng had already arrived at a small town beside the main road in the northern border.
After entering the town, Qiao Feng looked around and his eyes lit up instantly.
I saw two horses tied up not far away, one was pure black and the other was chestnut. Both horses had no other colors on their bodies and looked extremely handsome.
Looking closely, it was the door of the only inn in the town.
Qiao Feng took out a silver note and struck out with his palm.
The silver note fell into the inn and landed on the counter.
The shopkeeper was startled and looked outside quickly.
But the sound of horses neighing could be heard outside.
"Someone has an emergency that concerns his life, so I have no choice but to lend you my horse. I will be very grateful."
As the shouting sounded, the shopkeeper immediately understood.
"Hey..."
He hurried out, but only saw the backs of two horses galloping away.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man and a young man.
"Master, he took our horse."
The young man was about to use his Qinggong to chase after him.
The middle-aged man was an eight-foot tall man with a sturdy build. He carried a large sword on his back, which was wider and longer than an ordinary long sword.
At this moment, he raised one hand and grabbed the young man who had already rushed out back through the air.
“Baoyu, don’t worry. We have already reached the vicinity of Kunlun. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a horse. This person is quite powerful. You won’t be able to catch him even if you go.
"Didn't he say that it was an emergency that involved his life? Maybe it really was an emergency. Besides, didn't he leave a banknote behind?"
The shopkeeper then said hurriedly: "My two guests, you all saw it, I didn't let him go on purpose, and I didn't have time to stop him.
"He gave me a banknote. Take it first."
After clearing himself of any involvement, the shopkeeper returned to the counter, picked up the banknote and prepared to hand it to the two men.
When he saw this, he was stunned.
"One thousand... one thousand taels of silver?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Look, Baoyu, this one thousand taels of silver is enough for us to buy five more horses."
The young man nodded, "It seems that this hero really has something important to do. Lending him a horse is considered a good deed."
The two men returned to the inn, leaving the innkeeper standing there in a daze, regretting that he was not the owner of the two horses.
Otherwise, this one thousand taels of silver would be enough to earn me from running an inn for many years.
Qiao Feng threw down the silver and forced the owner to buy the horse because he was worried that the owner of the horse would show up and bother him.
His main goal now is to go to the Sun and Moon Sect.
If the owner of the horse appeared, he would feel embarrassed to ride away like this.
Qiao Feng galloped all the way, switching between two horses, and arrived in Chang'an in one day.
Such a speed almost exhausted the two horses to death.
The fact that Qu Feiyan was able to reach Guangmingding in two days was not only because he had no time to rest, but also because he exhausted several horses to achieve this.
In order to run long distances, Qiao Feng did not urge the two horses too hard, but ran at their limits.
In this way, when they were twenty miles outside Chang'an, both horses had begun to foam at the mouth.
He had no choice but to abandon his horse and fly all the way to Chang'an City.
"Mr. Qiao."
Among the soldiers guarding the Chang'an city gate, some who knew Qiao Feng hurried forward to greet him.
Qiao Feng stopped on purpose, otherwise these soldiers would not be able to see his figure clearly.
"Twenty miles away, two horses are lying down from exhaustion. Bring some feed and water to treat them, and then bring them back to the Qin Palace to be taken care of."
According to Qiao Feng's estimation, although the two horses were almost exhausted, they were not exhausted to death, after all, they were not overdrawn.
"Yes, Mr. Qiao."
Everyone in Chang'an knows Qiao Feng's identity.
The sworn elder brother of the current emperor.
They all rushed to do the tasks assigned by Qiao Feng.
However, in the blink of an eye, Qiao Feng was gone, so they had no choice but to select four people and two horses to look for the two horses.
Qiao Feng was about to go to Prince Qin's Palace, but when he passed by a mansion on the way, he had an idea and walked in.
"Mr. Qiao."
In the main hall, Cheng Yaojin looked at Qiao Feng in surprise.
Qiao Feng's expression was extremely serious. "Please prepare two horses for me. I have to go to Yanjing urgently. I must arrive within half a day."
"long time……"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned.
How is it possible to get there in half a day?
"What? No?"
Cheng Yaojin's face became serious. "Master Qiao, of course you can, but if you want to travel this fast, I'm afraid the two horses won't be able to support you."
"How about that?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Well, I will find two of the best war horses in the palace for you to ride in turn, and you don't have to cherish them too much, otherwise it will be a waste of time.
"This is my token. Hero Qiao, take it. When you get to the border between Tang and Ming, use my token to find the guard and two good horses. Only in this way can you make it there."
"Okay, thank you."
Qiao Feng nodded.
He took the token and followed Cheng Yaojin to get the two horses.
They are indeed the two best horses in Cheng Yaojin's mansion, and are much stronger than the two horses he rode just now.
Without staying for long, Qiao Feng rode out of Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Qiao Feng's receding back and let out a long sigh.
"What happened to make Qiao Feng so nervous?"
"Yanjing City... Could it be that something unexpected happened to the Ming imperial family or the Humin Villa?"
Cheng Yaojin muttered a few words in his heart, and then quickly called his servants.
"Hurry up and prepare the horse. I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin broke into the palace on horseback, which shocked a group of bigwigs in Chang'an.
No matter how reckless Cheng Yaojin was, he would not seek death like this.
Something big must have happened, which made him unable to make too much preparation.
Nowadays, all the princes, ministers, generals, and marquises who can govern Chang'an are shrewd people.
So, a group of people rushed to the palace to meet Li Shimin.
In Taiji Palace, Li Shimin had a serious look on his face.
"You said that my elder brother broke into your house and urgently asked for two horses and then left?"
Cheng Yaojin said: "That's right, Your Majesty, this is not the key point. Although the training of those two horses cost me tens of thousands of taels of silver..."
Li Shimin's face twitched and he said, "Stop. I'll give you five thousand taels of silver. Go on."
Cheng Yaojin immediately smiled: "Your Majesty, it seems that the target of Hero Qiao is Yanjing City."
Li Shimin frowned when he heard this and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Go check what happened in Yanjing City recently. Remember, don't let others know. Oh, and persuade others to leave when you go back."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's smile became even brighter.
"Yes, Wei Chen obeys your order."
