Hearing that Chen's forces had not been purged, but had been hidden deeper by Chen Xiang, Li Ji and Li Shuang'er were both shocked and angry.

"The Luocheng Palace has just been completed, and Chen Xiang has arrived, and he will definitely become a small court there!" Li Shuang'er looked indignant. "However, the fact that he still has the power of Death Chen is not what the people of the Great Zhou want! The new Son of Heaven ascended the throne, which was jointly supported by the courtiers and was orthodox for the Great Zhou, what are we afraid of! ”

"What if he wants to make the fourth prince the new king?" Shen Ruxiu spoke first and said what Li Ji thought of.

In the previous life, although Chen Xiang wanted revenge, he never had the intention of returning to the country. In this life, he definitely doesn't have such a thought. Otherwise, he would have already taken action, would he still give Li Ji a chance to become a powerful minister like the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

What Li Ji is afraid of is that Chen Xiang wants to make the fourth prince the new king.

He took a step and was about to leave the palace.

"Brother, where are you going?" Li Shuang'er hurriedly asked.

Li Ji didn't pay attention to it, and didn't take her as the imperial concubine in his eyes at all.

In front of Shen Ruxiu, this made Li Shuang'er feel extremely embarrassed.

Shen Ruxiu smiled disappreciatively and said, "Now that the general is out of the palace to deploy, it should be too late to stop Chen Xiang and the others from going to Los Angeles." ”

Li Shuang'er suddenly brightened. Hearing that there was still great hope for stopping Chen Xiang and the others, she hurriedly stepped forward, took Shen Ruxiu's hand, and said gratefully: "Thanks to you." ”

Shen Ruxiu smiled and quickly left.

Li Ji returned to the General's Mansion and ordered all the cities between Kyoto and Los Angeles to be under martial law, and ordered Chifeng Chiyu to take people to Ningcheng overnight to meet with the Ningcheng Mansion and ambush Chen Xiang and his party.

The closest route from Kyoto to Los Angeles is through Ningcheng.

A few days later, Chen Xiang and his entourage really came to the boundary of Ningcheng.

Along the way, they were cautious, and even disguised themselves as troupes to evade the guards of various cities, and every time they were afraid to clear the customs, they felt that it was not easy to survive the catastrophe.

"It's going to be cleared again." Chen Xiang rode a horse and came to the carriage and told Shen Liancheng that he wanted the nobles inside to be prepared.

But at this moment, someone suddenly rode a horse in front of him and ran over, shouting, "Lord, don't enter the city."

Chen Xiang took a closer look, but he didn't recognize this person, but he only knew that the other party called himself "lord", and that must be his own person in Ningcheng.

When the visitor arrived in front of Chen Xiang, he jumped off his horse and bowed his hand to Chen Xiang: "Lord, Master Yao sent a little one." ”

Chen Xiang was stunned.

Master Yao opened a blacksmith shop in Ningcheng, but he was actually his liaison in Ningcheng.

"Master Yao asked the little one to tell the lord that Li Ji has sent someone to lay a net in Ningcheng, and the lord must not enter the city, so he should make a detour to Ziwei Mountain."

"Why didn't you report such a big thing now?" Li Ling stepped forward, a little angry, because if this little guy came a little later, they would become someone else's meat.

The person who came hurriedly explained, "It's really Li Ji's people who are too secretive, and it wasn't until just now that Master Yao saw the clues." They seemed to know that there were people in Ningcheng who had laid a net of heaven and earth, but there was no movement at all. ”

Hearing this, Li Ling looked at Chen Xiang and was a little puzzled.

"Got it." Chen Xiang didn't ask much, but only instructed the human, "Go back and tell Master Yao not to act rashly." ”

"Yes!"

Soon, he took everyone and took a detour to Ziwei Mountain.

The group abandoned their carts and horses and went into battle lightly. It's the end of the year, the weather is cold, and there is snow on the mountain road, so it's really hard to walk.

Shen Liancheng has suffered like this, and he has at least been in contact with the mountain road, but he only took pity on Ashina Muyun and Shen Bijun and others, even if someone helped them, they couldn't stop falling and spraining, and in the end they could only be unruly and rely on people's backs.

Hong Qi carried Shen Bijun, Li Ling carried Ashina Muyun, and the four princes were also held by Chen Xiang himself, and the road began to go smoothly.

When the road was narrow, Shen Liancheng followed closely behind Chen Xiang, and when the road was wide, she held his arm and stepped on the snow in the mountains, but she didn't feel bitter.

"Aman, be careful." Chen Xiang had already reminded Shen Liancheng more than once.

"I know." Shen Liancheng said with a smile, "It's you, holding the four princes, you must go carefully." ”

"Hmm." Chen Xiang responded.

Shen Liancheng sighed, "But I don't know how Li Ji and the others knew that we were going to Los Angeles, and they chased and intercepted us all the way, making us so embarrassed." ”

"Not only do we know that we are going to Los Angeles, but we also know the forces that prevent me from dying Chen." Chen Xiang took her words, "Presumably, the person who leaked the secret knows my affairs very well." He suddenly scoffed, "Who else!" ”

Shen Liancheng saw that he had a number in his heart, thought about it according to his words, and quickly thought of a person, and couldn't help asking: "You mean, my second sister Shen Ruxiu?" ”

"Isn't it the same as you and me?" Chen Xiang glanced at her, "She knows too much about me. ”

"She also knows the whereabouts of your people everywhere?" Shen Liancheng was afraid that Shen Ruxiu would become Li Ji's sword and would ruin a big deal.

"Specifically, I don't know." Chen Xiang said, "But how much, I know something." I don't have time to think about it now. Presumably, Li Ji has no time to take care of it. ”

"There are still more than two months to go to Los Angeles, and we don't know when we will be able to get there." The road ahead is destined to be difficult. Shen Liancheng also said: "When we get to Los Angeles, we still have to find a way to take the city." Now Li Ji has been prepared, but I'm afraid that when we arrive, it will be difficult to enter the city. ”

"I'm not worried." Chen Xiang's face showed a little relaxed, "My power in Los Angeles is the strongest. Before we get there, they'll be able to take Los Angeles and the surrounding cities. ”

Shen Liancheng listened, and secretly admired Chen Xianglai. She didn't know that the people under him had such abilities.

"Over there!" On the trail behind, a shout suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and found that it was the officers and soldiers who were chasing them!

Chen Xiang hurriedly instructed Li Ling and Hong Qi, "You take the two highnesses to go first!" Then he handed over the four princes to Shen Liancheng, "Aman, you follow them." I'll be right after that! ”

Shen Liancheng hugged the four princes and agreed.

Chen Xiang ordered a few more people and asked them to follow and protect them, while he took the rest with him and fought with the officers and soldiers who were getting closer.

And on this mountain, in addition to the officers and soldiers of Ningcheng, there are also more than a dozen people from the Red Wind and Red Feather Belt. When they heard the fighting, they rushed over. Seeing that the important people had run away from a distance, Chifeng Chiyu left his subordinates and flew on the branches of the woods, and soon caught up with Shen Liancheng and the others.

Li Ling put down Ashina Muyun and let Hong Qi and the others leave first with a few women and children, while he stayed behind to resist Chifeng and Chiyu.

Although his martial arts are strong, he is a little overstretched when he fights the two masters of Chifeng and Chiyu. At a certain moment, Red Wind's sword was about to stab at him.
