Chapter 103 Entering the city

Just like that, Li Feibai, Nangong Shan, and Lin Tianchong sat on both sides of the car, while the armored corpse lay in the innermost part.

Strangely enough, as soon as he got into the car, the corpse odor was much weaker under the cover of sandalwood. Nangongshan had to sigh in his heart at Li Feibai's erudition and talent.

"Fei Li, you just tried your best to stop me. I am very touched." Nangong Shan, who had regained his composure, remembered the scene in Baigui Forest just now.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's my duty to keep you safe." Li Feibai replied calmly.

"Yeah." Nangongshan patted his shoulder and nodded heavily.

But I said in my heart: I sincerely hope there is no problem with your identity! Otherwise...

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Lin Tianchong didn't notice it, but Li Feibai keenly caught it.

He didn't care and pretended not to see it.

Soon, the driver arrived at Beicheng.

Before Cheng Tianli could change his shift, he saw King Qi returning in his carriage, and he hurriedly welcomed him out of the city.

"My lord, are you back so soon?"

This time, Nangongshan did not open the curtain, and replied calmly in the car: "Well, the mountains and forests are foggy, and there are not many prey to be found, which is very boring."

Taking a look at the few pheasants and rabbits in the hands of the guards, Cheng Tianli also felt that they were a little lacking, but since Nangongshan told the reason, he had no doubts.

But when he glanced at the palace guards, he immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I remember that when you left the city, there were thirteen guards. Why are there only eleven left now?"

It seemed like unintentional chatter, but Cheng Tianli's words were full of doubts.

When Nangongshan heard this, he was about to get angry, but Li Feibai stopped him.

He opened the curtain, stuck his head out, and asked with a smile: "This military master, why are you still responsible for the number of guards in the palace? Are there more or fewer guards?"

"Mr. Bai, that's not true. I'm just curious." Cheng Tianli said with a smile on his face.

But he had no intention of giving way.

Nangongshan can use his identity as a prince to force his way into the city, but this matter should be kept quiet, so it is best if there is no conflict.

"Shua"

Li Feibai opened the curtain generously and said dissatisfiedly to Cheng Tianli: "Look, the other two are in the car."

Seeing the blood-stained Lin Tianchong and the "man" lying in the innermost body wearing guard armor, Cheng Tianli asked in surprise: "Mr. Bai, what's going on?"

"Didn't the prince just say that it was very foggy in the mountains and forests? When the two of them were hunting, one of them was accidentally scratched by a branch, and the other broke his leg and couldn't move." Li Feibai looked into Cheng Tianli's eyes and replied.

"So that's it." Cheng Tianli said as he kept looking around, trying to see clearly the face of the man lying down.

Nangong Shan, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Cheng Tianli with a rather dissatisfied expression, but said, "If you don't believe it, can you get in the car and check it out?"

The tone was full of threats.

Seeing this, Cheng Tianli hurriedly bowed down and said: "I don't dare, I don't dare, my lord, please!"

"Humph." With a cold snort, Nangongshan put down the curtain, Li Feibai got back into the car, and the group finally entered the city.

Everywhere the car passed was filled with the smell of sandalwood. Since Nangongshan had already explained it when leaving the city, Cheng Tianli didn't have any doubts at this time.

"My lord, I'm afraid this Cheng Tianli has become King Zhao's people." After entering the city, Li Feibai said in the car.

"I feel the same way." Nangongshan said coldly.

Lin Tianchong said, "But I always feel like it's just a routine thing."

"Routine business? Whose business is it?" Li Feibai sneered: "Although he is afraid of and respects the prince, he actually wants to investigate us carefully. Do you think, if he is just a gatekeeper of David, how can he have the courage?

Aren't you afraid of offending a person who will inherit the throne in the future by conducting such an investigation?"

"I came in and out through other city gates, and the defenders would never dare to check my car, so he must be working for Nangong Ding," Nangong Shan said.

Hearing this, Lin Tianchong couldn't help but nod: "I didn't expect that the prince would be so kind to him. Cheng Tianli actually turned to King Zhao. It's really hateful."

"It must be King Zhao who gave him an offer he couldn't refuse." After Li Feibai finished speaking, he looked outside the car and fell into deep thought.

Returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, the driver did not stop at the main entrance, but drove directly into the Prince's Mansion from the side door.

Accompanied by his guards, Lin Tianchong went down to heal his injuries on his own. For a warrior at the pinnacle of the earth's level, although this injury looked terrifying, it was only on the flesh and was not serious.

"Situ Yang, take the body to the ice room and send someone to guard it day and night. No mistakes will be made." Nangongshan ordered.

"yes."

With two guards, Situ Yang took the body away from the car.

When Mo Fugui saw everyone coming back, he had already come out to greet them.

"Your Majesty, this car is driving..." Mo Fugui asked.

"Burn it. It's bad luck."

Along the way with the corpse, although he gradually got used to the smell of corpse, Nangongshan's face was still pale.

Afterwards, he immediately got into his bedroom and took a long bath before returning to the study.

There, Li Feibai was waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, can you wash away the odor?"

"Fei Li laughed. I haven't been able to smell this smell of dead fish since I was a child. It's disgusting." Even after Nangongshan finished taking a bath, his hands were still patting the clothes on his body unconsciously, as if the smell of corpses had penetrated into him.

skin.

"Your Majesty was born with dignity. This is not surprising. I have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and I have long been accustomed to the corpses of insects, fish, birds and beasts." Li Feibai replied with a smile.

Smiling slightly, Nangongshan seemed not to want to discuss the matter further and asked: "Fei Li, what should I do next?"

"Autopsy." Li Feibai spit out two words.

"Autopsy?"

"Well, while the old beggar's skin hasn't rotted yet, we might be able to find some evidence of a small amount of money by examining the body."

"What you say makes sense, but we are doing this in secret. Currently, only the city government, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple are involved. If we second them to do the autopsy, will the news leak out?" Nangongshan expressed his doubts.

"This is simple, we don't need the city government's help."

"Except for the widowers in the city government office, I can't think of anyone else in the imperial city who would do an autopsy?" Nangongshan frowned.

"There is one."

"who."

"My old uncle Fang Shengshou."

"Doctor Fang also perform autopsies?"

"Of course, most doctors only see life and not death. My old uncle can see life and death. He is proficient in everything that involves medical science."

Nodding, Nangongshan praised: "As expected of the imperial city's miracle doctor, I will leave this matter to you."

"I'll go to Tao Yiju first to see how the preparations for the opening ceremony are going, and by the way, I'll invite my old uncle to the palace." Li Feibai deliberately reported his whereabouts.

"Tian Chong is injured, why don't you let Situ Yang escort you?"
