Chapter 122: Unimpeded
Hearing that Chen Xiang didn't mean to send someone to chase Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword, Li Ling was in a hurry. γLatest chapter reading. But after thinking about it, I thought that the lord knew it, so he didn't say much.
He glanced at Mu Feng Longqi and the others, and asked Chen Xiang with a bit of disgust on his face: "Lord, what should they do?" β
"Kill." Chen Xiang spit out a word coldly, without mercy.
"The lord ......" Li Ling was a little surprised. Although he hated what Mu Feng Longqi had done, these two men were not useless in terms of their subsequent great deeds. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "My lord, why don't you keep the two of them for the purpose of seeking military salaries in the future?" β
"Want me to do it myself?" Chen Xiang turned to him sharply, angry at him for doubting his orders.
Li Ling was frightened, and hurriedly motioned to the people below to do it.
Hearing a few begs for mercy and screams, Chen Xiang instructed Li Ling again: "Block this side, and no one is allowed to disturb Emperor Taizu's eternal sleep." β
After that, he went down the mountain, but Junxian was the only one who followed him.
After he left, Li Ling glanced back at Mu Feng Longqi, who had lost his breath, and couldn't help but be confused: the lord's mind became more and more difficult to guess.
When Chen Xiang and Jun Xian went down the mountain, they didn't see a single horse, only the ground was messy, with saddles, stirrups, and reins...... This bad method must have been made by Shen Liancheng again. lest they chase after them, they let their horses go.
Chen Xiang was angry and annoyed, but he felt like laughing inexplicably. The corners of his mouth clearly bloomed with that little smile, and he was looked at by Jun Xian.
"Lord, are you still chasing?" Jun Xian asked.
"Chase." Although Chen Xiang said this, he was not in a hurry at all. He also instructed Junxian: "Send the news to Qin Meng, and just say it...... I have obtained Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword, and asked him to send someone to protect him. β
Jun Xian frowned, not understanding. But she didn't say anything, just did what she was told.
Shen Liancheng and the others rode their horses all the way, arrived in Zitong County to pick up Qingling, who had been waiting there, and then went all the way north and fled.
Chen Xiang and the others walked to Xinye County at dawn, tired and hungry.
Chen Xiang asked Li Ling to buy a horse again, but he returned to Huya Villa, saying that he wanted to let the people below rest for a night.
"Jun Niangzi, why isn't the lord in a hurry to recover Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword?" Li Ling didn't dare to ask Chen Xiang this question, so he asked Junxian in private.
Under the white veil, Jun Xian pursed her lips tightly, looking worried, and did not reply to Li Ling's words, only shook her head lightly.
"Big brother," At this moment, Jiang Da came from a distance, and he said, "The lord asked you to go over." β
When Li Ling heard this, he thought that the lord should have instructions, and hurriedly moved over happily.
Soon, he knocked on Chen Xiang's door.
Chen Xiang was sitting at the table, holding a glass in one hand and eating tea leisurely. Seeing Li Ling enter the house, he put down the teacup and motioned for Li Ling to sit down.
"Lord......" Li Ling was very surprised, who had Chen Xiang ever been so kind to? He almost felt panic, and when he sat down, he was even more uneasy.
"Guess what I'm going to do next?" Chen Xiang looked at him and asked him seriously.
Li Ling was very surprised, thought about it and asked, "Isn't it the restoration of the country?" General Qin said that when the lord got Zhan Longjue and the imperial sword, he would start an incident. β
"My life was given by Qin Meng."
Li Ling only felt that Chen Xiang's words were clueless. The descendants of Chen Guo, who doesn't know that Qin Meng rescued the second prince in that fire back then, and protected him all the way, asking the best master to teach him Wenzhi martial arts? Who doesn't know that it was Qin Meng who created the Little Ear Knife and expanded the power of the Chen State to the point where it is today?
"Without Qin Meng, I'm nothing." Chen Xiang's words came suddenly.
But because of this sentence, Li Ling suddenly knew what he was worried about. "Lord, are you worried about General Qin's ...... in the future?"
"Why the future?" Chen Xiang sneered.
Yes. In the hearts of many Chen people, the second prince is just a banner, and it is General Qin who really waives the flag and shouts!
Li Ling realized something, hurriedly stood up, bowed down, and said resolutely: "If the lord needs his subordinates to do it, it is incumbent on his subordinates to do it, and they must bow down and die!" β
Chen Xiang suddenly remembered. He also stood up, but he instructed Li Ling: "Find someone to create a fake Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword." β
Didn't you even want him to assassinate Qin Meng or something? Li Ling's surprised eyes looked at him, and then he thought that Qin Meng could not be killed, so he lowered his eyes again and obediently replied "Yes".
When he retreated to say goodbye, Chen Xiang did not forget to remind him: "Let other brothers come to answer, this way, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful." According to Shen Liancheng's careful thinking, she will definitely not do nothing but run away.
"Yes, my subordinates understand!"
As Chen Xiang expected, all the way north, they did not know how many assassinations they encountered. They are all coming for "Zhan Longjue" and "Imperial Sword". Fortunately, Qin Meng dispatched the people with the small ear knife, and every time he rescued them from danger, he let them survive. But this greatly delayed their trip.
Shen Liancheng and his entourage are different, and they can be said to be unimpeded all the way. In addition, Yue Shi Youdu was originally a person from the Southern Liang, and they followed all the way, saving a lot of trouble, and it only took more than a month to get out of the border of the Southern Liang.
Along the way, they also did one thing, that is, to spread rumors: Chen Guo's orphan got Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword.
The open and secret battles that Chen Xiang and others encountered along the way all started because of this rumor - Chen Xiang expected it early on, otherwise a hundred times would not be enough to die.
However, even so, Shen Liancheng did not dare to slack off. In addition to sleeping and hurrying all day long, I have not eaten a hot meal. She just wanted to rush to Kyoto as soon as possible, hand over Zhan Longjue and the imperial sword to her grandfather, present them to the Son of Heaven, and end this stormy day.
It's the New Year in the blink of an eye. The city of Kyoto is full of flaming lanterns. In the palace, there is also red silk in the sky, singing and dancing.
In the Luanqing Palace, Yu Wenlie, the Son of Heaven, secretly summoned Taifu Shen Kuo after a feast, on this special day.
"Tomorrow will be Aman's fourteenth birthday." Yu Wenlie still remembers that Shen Liancheng was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
When he was a child, he heard Shen Liancheng say more than once that the night before she was born, the snow covered the entire Lin'an City, and by the time she came to the world, the snow had stopped, and the warm sun appeared in the sky, which was a very beautiful day.
"Your Majesty still remembers Aman's birthday, it is really a blessing for Aman's third life." Shen Kuo said politely when he heard the words.
"If she is in Kyoto, King Gu will personally organize a birthday party for her." Yu Wenlie swore an oath, and suddenly sighed, "Next year!" β
"Your Majesty is mighty." Shen Kuo said this, but there was a bitterness in his heart. His poor granddaughter is still suffering from the cold! (To be continued.) )
