Chapter 276: The Three Princes
"General Cang, did you notice something?" Taihe asked cautiously.
Cangyun was at a loss in his heart, what are you talking about? Lao Tzu is showing his unfathomability?
In order not to lose face, Cangyun pondered for a moment, secretly saying that the royal infighting has been a principle since ancient times, it is nothing more than brothers turning against each other, ganging up, and jointly pulling the prince Zhao Hong off the horse, it is better to take this opportunity to help Zhao Hong, Cangyun made a look of seeing through everything: "The third prince, the target may not only be the position of the prince, he may have ill intentions towards his close brothers." ”
When the seven sons of the Shanghua Sword Sect heard this, their faces changed slightly, and they didn't dare to look directly at Cangyun and Taihe, and they turned their heads sideways, such a dangerous word, they didn't expect Cangyun to say it like this, if Taihe said that Cangyun had a heart of disobedience and slandered the royal bloodline, it would also be a big crime. The seven sons of the Shanghua Sword Sect didn't want to clash with Cangyun here.
When Taihe heard this, his face turned red at first, then pale, and finally gloomy, speechless for a long time.
"General Cang, are you the one who secretly investigated the death of the fifth brother?Is it the eldest brother, no, the prince arranged it?" Taihe asked in a low voice.
Cangyun was desperate in his heart, how could he say it well, and suddenly threw out some topics that no one had touched? How can this make people answer? Listening to Taihe's meaning, the emperor's fifth son was assassinated, and Taihe was a little suspicious of the third prince. Several teenagers of the Shanghua Sword Sect were quick-minded, and they just wanted to quickly find an excuse to quit this small courtyard and stay away from the news that these children were not suitable for.
Cang Yun didn't want to dwell more on this issue, and said: "I don't know what you said, I heard that you have a good relationship with the third prince, you should know best." ”
Taihe's expression was serious: "General Cang, since you already know a lot, I can also say that the three emperor brothers are quick in thinking and excellent in martial arts, if it weren't for the eldest brother as the eldest son, he might not be able to win the three emperor brothers." It's just that the Third Emperor Brother is too perfect, he has a good relationship with his brothers, and he is very respectful to his eldest brother, although he has the closest relationship with me, and he has never directly put forward the idea of wanting to fight for the crown prince," Taihe smiled bitterly: "Moreover, General Cang, you all know that the Third Emperor Brother and I have the best relationship, but who in the world doesn't know? But who knows, and who does the Third Emperor Brother secretly have close contacts with? Maybe I am just a pawn used by the Third Emperor Brother to cover up the truth." ”
Cangyun remembered the name of the three princes, Zhao Ting, before, Cangyun didn't care about the royal children, Zhao Hong seemed to be rude, but in fact, the city was quite deep, Cangyun didn't think that other princes and grandsons had the opportunity to shake Zhao Hong's status, so it seems that the battle for the throne is really difficult. Despite this, Cangyun will not intervene in it. Maybe Huang Erniu has a chance to participate in one or two.
Taihe said with some worry: "The three emperor brothers are now leading the troops to fight in the Western Regions, and there are signs of pacifying the Western Regions, and the crown prince guards the eternal city, Beiyi is strong, and the alliance forces of the countries in the Western Regions are comparable. ”
Cangyun understood Taihe's concern and asked, "In that case, how do you plan to carry out the northern visit?"
Taihe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and showed a calmness that did not match his age: "State affairs are important, this secret visit, if successful, can help the prince retreat to the Beiyi Xiongbing, so that the Yan soldiers will make fewer sacrifices, Guotai and the people, General Cang, in the face of such a major right and wrong, I will not back down." ”
Cang Yun's eyes were cold: "So, if someone wants you to fail on your visit, the best way is to let you die on the way to the visit." ”
A trace of pain flashed in Taihe's eyes: "I don't want the trip to succeed, it's not just Beiyi Kingdom, but also, don't say it, General Cang, I understand what you mean." But as I said, this is the way to go, and there is no room for retreat. ”
Taihe turned to Guan Long and other teenagers: "This northward journey is more dangerous than imagined, I wonder if a few young heroes are willing to follow?"
Guan Long's seven people stood tall like seven unsheathed long swords, and said in unison: "I am willing to use this body to protect the prince." ”
From now on, the Shanghua Sword Sect and Taihe, the prince, have an inextricable relationship.
Cangyun looked at the eight teenagers who were full of righteousness, with a big mind, and secretly said that Zhao Ting was in the Western Regions, and it seemed that he needed to go to the Western Regions, and there was a city lord who needed to be eliminated, Podolzhu.
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not go with you to the northern country, I hope you have a safe journey, and you must not be strong. I won't enter the eternal city either, lest I be recognized by Zhao Hong and them. Cangyun said: "As for this carriage, I will give it to you." ”
Although he talked about many heavy topics, when Cangyun saw Taihe, Guan Long's and his gang's expressions that were much more relaxed when they heard that Cangyun would not follow him to Beiyi, his heart was still inexplicably galloping.
Western regions.
After the conquest of the Great Yan army, most of the cities that had been captured by the Western Regions Alliance have been recovered, and if it were not for the Northern Yi Kingdom eyeing the north, the Western Regions Alliance would have collapsed long ago.
The once high-spirited Western Regions Alliance Army was really beaten by Great Yan before he began to repent. Fortunately, the Yan army will not go deep into the Western Regions, and it will not be able to completely destroy many cities because of the siege, which will cause a lot of refugees, and the refugees will not dare to move westward, they can only pour into the Great Yan, the Yan royal family does not want to see such a scene, disaster relief, will cost countless money, no disaster relief, refugees are very likely to turn into disaster victims, become rogues, for the Quartet, at that time the external disaster is not settled, the internal worries arise again, the court can not afford it.
In the big tent, his eyes were red, he was a little thin, his beard was unkempt, he looked at the map in front of him, his heart was bored, he had been marching for several years, he had spent a lot of energy and money, he spent a lot of gold and silver, and his generals were killed and wounded, and the reward was not rich, only a city in name, far less than the joy of calling for wind and rain when he was the lord of the city in the city of Porly.
And Podolzhu remembered day and night that he was almost sniped by a mysterious master nicknamed the demon dragon, and he didn't dare to go back to the city lord's mansion, but only dared to live in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the other city lords didn't want to have too much contact with Podolzhu, and now the Western Regions coalition army was in a dilemma, and he didn't want to be sideways.
This led to a rather lonely situation in Podolju.
"Has there been any movement of Great Yan's army in the past few days?" asked Podolzhu, looking up.
No one answered.
Podolzhu frowned deeply, if it was his previous temper, he would have already burst out and killed, and his temperament had been smoothed out a lot in the past two years, looking at the two stunned generals in front of him, he raised his voice and said, "Are you deaf?"
The bias will remain motionless.
Podolju's keen nerves jumped, and the two generals fell to the ground.
There was a man sitting on a chair in the big tent.
Podolju instinctively stepped back and shouted, "Someone!"
"No need to scream. Cangyun stood up and walked towards Podolju step by step.
Podolzhu's liver was cracked, and his teeth chattered: "You are a demon dragon." ”
Cangyun said: "It's me." ”
Podolju wanted to cry without tears, and slumped in his chair: "You are here after all." ”
Cangyun looked at Podolju quietly.
Podolju asked weakly, "Why do you have to kill this king?"
Cangyun said: "You don't deserve to know. ”
In Cangyun's view, letting Podol Zhu listen to Fu Lihua's name is an insult to Fu Lihua.
"Hero, don't kill me! I'll give you whatever you want, and I'll tell you whatever you want to know!" Podol Zhu burst into tears, fell to his knees, and frequently kowtowed.
Cangyun was calm in his heart and walked towards Podolju step by step. Just wait for a light palm to smash Podolzhu's skull.
Seeing that Cangyun was walking slowly, but had no intention of stopping, Podolzhu was even more panicked: "Hero, do you want to know the location of Solo's treasure?"
Cangyun was only a kilometer away from Podolju.
Podol Zhu hurriedly said: "Hero, are you a descendant of the Sang family!"
Cangyun had already walked in front of Podolzhu, Podolzhu raised his face, and he couldn't think of resisting at all: "Hero, wait a minute, do you want to know who is behind this coalition?"
Cangyun raised his palm, looking a little thin, in Podolzhu's opinion, it was the most terrifying demon hand: "Hero, do you want to know where the "Heavenly God Treasure Road" is?"
Before the words fell, the clouds fell.
The red and white thing that erupted from Podolzhu's head appeared at the same time as the last words.
There was silence.
There are no words to describe Cangyun's mood.
Just want to be quiet.
For a long time, Cangyun walked out of the big tent with a smile and walked all the way out of the barracks, all the way with this smile, so that many soldiers thought that Cangyun was the new leader, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Inside the City of Light.
Cangyun changed into ordinary clothes, changed into a beard style, and found an inn near the General's Mansion to stay.
The people of the Western Regions have been accustomed to the war between the Great Yan army and the Western Regions coalition army, daily life is as usual, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, if it were not for the many soldiers patrolling the streets, it would not be obvious that Guangming City is a lost and regained city, and it is on the front line of the war.
Cangyun is no stranger to the General's Mansion, he has lived in it for a while, but now it is not Zhao Hong who lives in the General's Mansion, but Zhao Ting, the third prince.
"What kind of prince can give Zhao Hong a headache and make Taihe suspect that there is an assassination inside the prince?" Cangyun leaned on the corner of the wall all day to bask in the sun, lazily and very comfortable.
There are not many legends about the three princes in Guangming City, such as the courage of the battle, the use of soldiers like gods, and the handsome appearance, so they always wear a mask when they go out to fight.
After staying for a few days, Cangyun did not see Zhao Ting out of the general's mansion, and was thinking about whether to explore at night, the door of the general's mansion was wide open, and a team of soldiers came out to clean up the pedestrians on the street, and the people were no strangers to this, knowing that the three princes were going to travel, they automatically left the street, or hid in the shops on the side, waiting to see the excitement, this is one of the few opportunities for the people at the border to see the emperor's relatives.
Cangyun took the opportunity to find the second floor of a teahouse, leaned against the window, and looked down.
There was a commotion in the General's Mansion, and surrounded by a group of soldiers, Hatietungga and a young man walked out of the gate of the General's Mansion side by side, chatting and laughing.
The person who can make Hatietongga and pleasant can only be Zhao Ting.
Hatietongga and Zhao Ting said as they walked, Cangyun looked down, couldn't see his face clearly, and when he passed by Cangyun, Zhao Ting seemed to feel Cangyun's gaze, raised his head, and looked at Cangyun with a smile.
Cangyun's scalp was numb: "Demon Boy?"
