Chapter 803: Big Things Begin!
Chapter 803
"The subordinates understand, so let's do it. β
Chen Bin didn't say a word, jumped off the city tower, and left quickly. During this time, everyone who was following Wang Chong felt a tense atmosphere, especially when it was reported that Fu Meng Lingcha had been rewarded by the imperial court, and everyone in the Steel City was angry.
And in Wang Chong's place, what everyone felt was another undercurrent of turbulent taste.
During this period of time, the people of the Protectorate of the Western Prefecture have come to show off their power several times, and everyone has endured it every time. Although it seems to be crushed to death by the Moxi Protectorate, everyone knows that Fumeng Lingcha will definitely not be proud for too long.
Even if Hou Ye said that he would let him leave the west of the city, he would definitely do it, and this time would definitely not be too long.
"Drive!"
A wisp of smoke and dust rolled through the city gate, and quickly headed towards the west of the moraine, and Chen Bin's figure quickly disappeared without a trace.
"Write me another letter to the Eagle of the Jingshi, ask him to pay close attention to the movements of the Fourth Prince, and I need him to tell me as soon as possible for any movement!"
Wang Chong said lightly.
There was no one behind him, but there was someone in the shadows who responded.
"Subordinates obey!"
The figure was gone, quickly disappearing without a trace.
The city wall quickly fell silent, and only Wang Chong was left. The entire city of black steel has long been much quieter after the initial construction was in full swing.
This is a period of recuperation.
Wang Chong looked at the distance, where the gray sky and earth met, although there was no sound around him, Wang Chong clearly felt that a huge storm was sweeping from the direction of Jingshi.
The storm has been set off, Wang Chong knows that if he wants to overthrow Fumeng Lingcha, this is the last chance, but Fumeng Lingcha is cunning and cunning, whether it is letting Dayan Mangbojie enter the customs, or later borrowing a knife to kill people on the Wusizang Plateau, and finally grabbing credit, Fumeng Lingcha has done a thorough and seamless job.
It's not that easy to get hold of him.
The most important thing is that in this process, Wang Chong must not attract the slightest attention from Fu Meng Lingcha.
Hundreds of miles away, the west of the capital of the palace.
"Squeak!"
With a slight push on the door, an old woman who looked tired walked out of the back door of the Duhu Mansion with a vegetable basket.
Her steps were trembling, and she moved with great care with each step, as if it had taken a great effort.
"Wow!"
Walking to the corner, the old woman vigorously spilled the rotten leaves in the cabbage. There, there were piles of rotten vegetables that emitted a rancid smell.
"Stinky old woman, the order of Lord Du Hu, the time to buy vegetables cannot exceed noon!"
Suddenly, with a bang, the back door was opened with a strong kick, and a fierce and vicious, heavily armed Hu Ren guard of the Moxi Capital Protectorate stepped out of it, staring at the old woman outside the door fiercely:
"Also, if the next time you cook, it's not a whipping. You can give me a snack!"
"The old woman understands!"
The old woman trembled, twitched violently, and with sincere fear on her face, she bowed down and pressed her white head low.
And the aging body trembled with fear, which was pitiful.
"Hmph, useless old woman, if it weren't for the fact that she had been with Lord Du Hu for more than ten years, she would have killed you a long time ago. β
At the back door, the fierce, heavily armed Hu Ren guards scolded and scolded, shook the door fiercely, and made a loud clang, and then disappeared without a trace.
A look of grief flashed in the old woman's eyes, but it was soon gone, she buried her head deeply, glanced at the criss-crossed blood-red scars that appeared from her cuffs, let out a long, resigned sigh in her heart, and limped off into the distance.
Leaving the Moxi Protectorate, turning a corner, a low voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, here, here......"
The old woman shook slightly, a look of vigilance flashed in her eyes, her eyes quickly swept over, and when she saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old with clear eyebrows in the corner, her expression relaxed sharply.
"Xiao Xu, it's you. Didn't I tell you that I don't have to bother so much? I'll just buy it myself. β
The old woman limped over, and looked at the young man, and her expression softened. This young man was a market vendor, and once she had just been whipped in the house, fainted in the market, and was finally rescued by him, and she met this child named "Xiao Xu".
And Xiao Xu also knew what happened to her in the house, and every time she bought food, she didn't let her go far, and took the initiative to send it over for her.
As a person in the Metropolitan Protectorate, he has many scruples and does not dare to contact strangers at will, but only this little Xu, the old woman feels naturally close to him for some reason, and every time she sees him, it is like seeing her own grandson.
"Mother-in-law, did they beat you again?"
Xiao Xu looked at the old woman's limping appearance and felt sorry.
"Hey, I'm used to it, Lord Du Hu is unwilling, and he has a short temper, it was like this more than ten years ago, and I'm used to it. β
The old woman is humane.
However, my mother-in-law is very old. How many times can my mother-in-law withstand such a whipping?"
Xiao Xu looked at the old man's difficult appearance, and his face was unbearable.
"Hey, what's the solution? I'm an old woman, where can I go except for the Duhu Mansion? Moreover, after all, the Duhu Mansion is different from other places, although I have been whipped, there is always some good medicine, and it will be good to go back and wipe it. β
The old woman said with a wry smile.
The people outside look at the people who protect the mansion, and they all enjoy endless glory and wealth, but who knows her suffering. The old woman knew what was on the minds of outsiders, so it was easy not to reveal what was in her heart. Only in front of this little Xu will the true side be revealed.
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, one day, I will definitely save you out. β
Xiao Xu looked at the old woman and said with a serious face.
"Hehe, it's enough for you to have this thought, and your mother-in-law is already very content. β
The old woman was stunned, then laughed. The dignified capital of the west, the general of the empire, how could he say that he would let her go, this can only be thought about and talked.
Taking a small cart of pre-prepared dishes from Xiao Xu's hand, the old woman limped and slowly went back.
- The rules in the Metropolitan Protectorate are very strict, and if you can't go back on time, I'm afraid it will be another heavy punishment.
"Alas!"
Looking at the old woman's staggering back, Xiao Xu couldn't help but let out a long sigh, flashing a look of pity:
"Mother-in-law, don't worry. I promised you something, and I will do it. When I'm done, I'll take you away. β
Xiao Xu muttered to himself, and after a while, he slowly straightened up, and then quickly turned around and walked towards another place. A moment later, one of the most common rock eagles in the Western Regions rose into the sky and quickly disappeared.
......
"Master Hou, after receiving Zhang Que's letter, they have successfully contacted the target. The entire moraine is in the west of the palace, and any wind and grass is under surveillance. β
The rock eagle flew by, and a black-wounded scout quickly climbed the city wall, and finally stopped behind Wang Chong, bowed down, and handed over the information in his hand with both hands straight.
"Hmm. Got it. β
Wang Chong stood on the edge of the city wall, looking in the direction of the Moxi Desert in the distance, stretched out his right hand back, and took the letter from the scout's hand without looking back. Everything has been on the right track, Fu Meng Lingcha has been cautious all his life, coarse on the outside and fine on the inside, and he does things roughly, but in fact he does not leak.
Therefore, even if Wang Chong wanted to move him away, there was no real way.
- This kind of imperial general, with extremely high status, extremely heavy power, extremely deep influence, and extremely deep qualifications, it is by no means so easy to transfer their positions. Even if Wang Chong is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and there is King Song to help him in the court, it is not so easy.
But it's a pity that although Fumeng Lingcha is experienced, he has a great problem, that is, he is short-tempered and likes to physically punish people.
Not many people know this, and the Protectorate of the Western Metropolitan Government has always paid attention to keeping secrets and not letting outsiders know. But Wang Chong knew.
When that incident happens in the future, this old chef is one of the key figures, when Fu Meng Lingcha is involved in that incident, the old chef is the only one in the entire Moxi Protectorate who dares to stand up and accuse Fu Meng Lingcha, this matter Wang Chong remembers very deeply, so he will arrange for Zhang Que to contact them.
β...... In addition, Zhang Que also had a request with the letter, hoping that after this matter is over, can Master Hou help rescue the old woman from the Moxi Protectorate, so that she can have a happy old age?"
The scout hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.
"Yes. β
Wang Chong didn't think about it, so he agreed. Even if he didn't open his mouth, after this matter was over, he was going to arrange another place for the old woman to spend her old age in peace. Otherwise, he won't be able to stay in Moxi.
"Thank you, Master Hou!"
The scout was overjoyed.
Wang Chong just smiled, although Zhang Que had not been in the black wound for a long time, he was good at dancing with long sleeves, and he mingled with many soldiers in the army, and even these scouts would speak for him.
......
Time flies, and three days pass in the blink of an eye.
In the city of steel, there are all kinds of ruins to be lifted, and as a complete fiefdom, it is not as simple as dividing a land and building a city. There are still many things to deal with in order to build this place the way you want it to be. Early in the morning, when Wang Chong was still working on official documents in the mansion of the Steel City, suddenly, a rush of footsteps rushed in.
"Master Hou, Zhang Que has sent news that there is movement over there in the Western Capital Protectorate!"
The guard's words were concise and to the point, Wang Chong was originally working on the documents, but when he heard this, his face changed, and he raised his head sharply.
"Bang!"
Almost shortly after the guard rushed in, another gust of wind rushed in.
"Master Hou, there is news from Lord Xu that the Moxi Protectorate has left Moxi!"
A second escort rushed in after him.
One after the other, the two pieces of news were like a hurricane, swept into the city of steel, causing the atmosphere in this newly built fiefdom to change abruptly, the original comfortable atmosphere was swept away, the atmosphere became extremely dignified, and around Wang Chong, all the forces were mobilized in an instant.
