Chapter 261 (1/2)

At noon on March 18, the 13th year of Yuanping, a spring rain fell on the capital of the Han Empire, shrouding the heavy capital with a thousand years of history in a hazy rain and fog.

In this slightly chilly spring rain, Yan Liqiang and his party finally came to the capital of the Han Empire.

”Is this Dijing?” In the raging spring rain, Yan Liqiang, who was wrapped in a poncho, looked at the tall city wall like a giant beast in the distance. He couldn't help turning his head and asked Hu Haihe next to him.

”Guard Yan, this is the imperial capital. Go straight along this road. In front of us is the Xihua gate of the imperial capital. In the west of the imperial capital, there are three city gates, and Xihua gate is only one of them...” Hu Haihe's voice also carries a sense of fatigue and sadness. When talking, Yan Liqiang saw Hu Haihe's hand and couldn't help touching a bag hanging on his mount, Inside the bag is the ashes of brother Hu Haihe.

Yan Liqiang just nodded and didn't speak any more. He just gently clamped the horse's belly to let the rhinoceros dragon horse keep up with the team. At the same time, he also pressed back the head exposed from the poncho.

The battle with Heifeng bandits that day seemed to be yesterday, but the people who died for that battle could never come back. The people who died in that battle and wanted to protect did not finally walk into the imperial capital alive, which made Yan Liqiang doubt the significance of the way from leaving Pingxi city.

The whole team seemed a little dull. Sun Bingchen put away all the guards of honor and didn't fight them out. Everyone rode on their horses in the rain.

……

What happened in Huizhou City was so noisy that it was delayed for several days. Finally, the local government came and did a busy job. Finally, after other guard teams arrived in Huizhou City, Yan Liqiang and sun Bingchen joined the team coming back to Dijing.

But ye Tiancheng was no longer in the team.

Sun Bingchen's back looks bleak in the drizzle, but it is still tall and stubborn. Yan Lijiang looks at sun Bingchen's back and can probably guess sun Bingchen's feeling at the moment.

A close courtier and a criminal courtier who was about to be escorted to the imperial capital died inexplicably in Huizhou City. Naturally, the murderer would be wanted, but sun Bingchen, who was involved in this matter, might also have a lot of trouble. If someone wanted to find fault, sun Bingchen left the escort team to Huizhou City with the court felon Ye Tiancheng in disguise, Failure to provide adequate protection for ye Tiancheng is one of the causes of Ye Tiancheng's death. If you really want to investigate, sun Bingchen will inevitably be implicated.

As sun Bingchen's bodyguard, he was also responsible for failing to protect Ye Tiancheng.
