Yuyueguan can hold out for another ten days at most, and from here to Haojing, and then from Haojing to Jincheng, the journey alone will take eight days.

That is to say, Li Chen was only given two days and nights to deal with the governor-general of Gansu and Shaanxi and King Ning.

Thinking of this, Li Chen could no longer sit still and said, “Pass the order, after everyone has finished their meal, immediately set off at full speed. Send someone to the market to buy more dried food for consumption on the road. No stops or rests along the way, within seven days, we must arrive in Haojing.”

At Li Chen's command, everyone began to move with lightning speed.

Purchase purchases, eat meals with meals, and take advantage of time to rest when resting.

Everyone knows that Your Highness is in such a hurry that there will likely be no other chance to rest on the road, so everyone wants to seize this last opportunity to rest and recharge.

Even Li Chen himself only ate a simple meal before immediately setting off.

The caravan rushed in and out, heading northwest all the way. Even when they stopped occasionally along the way, it was only to change horses and vehicles. They even took turns resting at night, keeping the horses going non-stop. Upon reaching the next city, they replaced everything entirely.

After such days and nights of relentless travel, Li Chen arrived in Haojing late on the sixth night.

Xi'an, this name isn't well known, but it has another alias that everyone knows... Chang'an!

Eight hundred years ago, the Qin Dynasty reigned supreme. During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was designated as the capital city, ushering in an era of prosperity known as the Golden Age of Tang.

More than eight hundred years have passed, and the splendor of Chang'an has long been buried in the river of history. The imperial court moved northwards, establishing itself in today's capital city. Only the towering city walls and an overly vast urban area remain, as if still bearing traces of the glory from eight centuries ago.

Li Chen arrived in the capital, but he had no desire to appreciate the scenery or visit ancient sites.

As six days passed, the military intelligence from Yueya Pass grew increasingly urgent. From a single report each day, it escalated to two, then three. Li Chen's heart was in turmoil, too anxious to even appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way.

In this urgent situation, when they were thirty miles away from the capital of Hao, Li Chen sent someone on horseback to inform Cheng Fuzhao to go out of the city to greet him in advance.

He wasn't planning on doing any undercover sting operations.

He came here on a mission to seek justice.

But all around him were only a handful of people. If Cheng Fuzhao dared to disobey his orders publicly, then he might not be afraid to do something even more outrageous.

So Li Chen decided to first reveal his identity and then see how Cheng Fuzhao responded.

If Cheng Fuzhao had any ulterior motives, he wouldn't dare openly do anything to the prince who was publicly visiting.

The Jinyiwei rode swiftly, arriving under the high and imposing walls of the capital city, where the gates had already been closed, barring all passage to the people.

The guards on the city wall saw someone riding fast towards them and immediately shouted, "Who are you and what is your business The city gate is closed. If you have business, come back in the morning."

Then, the Jinyiwei reined in their horses and drew out a gleaming gold waist token from their bosom. They shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has arrived thirty miles outside the city! Don't you hurry and summon all officials of the Gan-Shan General Governor's Mansion to greet him!"

At these words, the soldiers guarding the city were greatly astonished.

No one in this world would dare to lie like that, let alone with that glittering token, which is undoubtedly genuine.

Even if it's fake, there are adults above who handle it, they don't get to question it.ee scholars from each imperial examination would be sent to the Hanlin Academy for several years of refinement.On one hand, it allows them to become familiar with the rhythm of officialdom. On the oth...
