Hou Junji and his gang had finally witnessed how much Li Shimin doted on Su Che.
This brat had openly contradicted and disobeyed orders in the imperial court. Not only was he not punished, but he had even become one of the imperial envoys.
However, this kid should never have made a military pledge to solve the case in five days.
Under Li Shimin's watchful eyes, Hou Junji and the others might not dare to cause trouble. However, in Qizhou, they could do whatever they wanted. They could use some small tricks to make him have nowhere to start.
It was possible that he could not solve the case in five months, let alone five days.
Hou Junji's clique let out a sigh of relief.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Su Che and Helan Chushi had to rush to Qi Zhou immediately after the court session ended.
Helan Chushi was originally an official of the Eastern Palace, and he thought that he was superior to others. Moreover, he was an imperial envoy who went out to inspect places. The scene of him leaving the capital was simply breathtaking.
There were as many as 60 followers of the Imperial Guards, and this was not counting the subordinate officials.
The ceremonial flags and gongs were used to clear the way. Nothing was missing, attracting the attention of both sides of the road.
After leaving Chang 'an, many officials came to bid farewell to him. The scene was extremely luxurious.
Hou Junji and Zhang Liang had even come over, holding Helan Chushi's hand and whispering to him.
As for Su Che and the others, it was much simpler.
Other than him, Song Ci and Shangguan Wan 'er followed behind him. Not only were there no flags or ceremonial gongs to clear the way, there were even no subordinate officials.
In Su Che's opinion, it was best to travel light.
After leaving Chang 'an, Su Che thought that no one would send him off. Who knew that outside the city, there were actually two country dukes who came to send him off.
Duke of Lu, Cheng Yaojin, and Duke of Zheng, Wei Zheng, were both influential figures in the court, the pillars of the country, and the right-hand men of the Emperor. With these two people sending him off, the world also understood that this young Divine Constable, who was famous in Chang 'an, had a good relationship with people.
Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng each had a glass of wine with Su Che and reminded him to be careful of Helan Chushi.
"In addition, the governor of Qi Prefecture is Zhang Liang's adopted son. You have to be careful.”Wei Zheng secretly revealed an unusual piece of news to Su Che.
"Thank you, dukes." Su Che nodded and thanked him.
Cheng Yaojin looked at Helan Chushi, who was in a grand display in the distance, and could not help but say hatefully,""Hou Junji and his gang really went to great lengths to invite so many people to help Helan Chushi. Haha, but they are all useless people.”
Cheng Yaojin's tanned face showed a hint of pride.""Younger Brother Su, you and Helan Chushi are the imperial envoys this time. You absolutely cannot lose to them in terms of battle formation. As an imperial envoy, how could he not have hired thugs by his side? If you were to do everything by yourself, it would be too degrading and would cause the officials below to look down on you.”
Cheng Yaojin said to Cheng Tieniu,""Second son, take the 36 Iron Guards and listen to Brother Su's orders. You can also follow him to gain experience and earn some credit.”
After Cheng Tieniu heard this, he said heroically,""Yes, Father."
Wei Zheng, who was at the side, was first stunned, then he laughed out loud and said,"Su Che, why aren't you thanking Duke Lu for his kindness? He's afraid that you'll be in danger.”
Of course, Su Che knew Cheng Yaojin's good intentions, so he didn't stand on ceremony. Instead, he bowed and said,""State Duke Lu, don't worry. We will definitely return safely.”
…………
With Cheng Tieniu and the Cheng Residence's 36 Iron Guards as his followers, the following actions would undoubtedly be much easier.
More importantly, the 36 Iron Guardians of the Cheng Residence were all experienced experts. Coupled with the corresponding array, these 36 Iron Guardians could even resist thousands of soldiers.
Moreover, with the 'Thirty-Six Iron Guardians' as followers, Su Che's group's power instantly increased by several folds. The onlookers all looked at him and exclaimed.
The other imperial envoy, Helan Chushi, looked at their formation and revealed an envious expression.
As for Hou Junji and the others, they cursed inwardly, With Cheng Yaojin's 36 Iron Guards, this kid's safety was undoubtedly guaranteed.
