Chapter 277: Threat
In order to make His Royal Highness King Wei stay on the imperial ship with peace of mind, several bigwigs in the court also put a lot of thought into it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is not only delicious and delicious hospitality, but also makes Zhao Hao, who has never been able to appreciate what the imperial banquet is like, to eat a round belly. He also inquired about His Highness's hobbies, and sent him some strange things for him to pass the time. The effect seems to be good, he and His Majesty the Emperor eat and sleep together every day, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder on the imperial ship every day, and frighten a group of guards and chamberlains away, saying that His Royal Highness is too stubborn and has taken His Majesty badly.
Zhao Yu seems to enjoy this kind of life very much, he doesn't have to read official documents every day, he doesn't have to be forced to get up early to practice martial arts, and he no longer worries about endless trivial matters, but he just urges Qiongzhou to purchase New Year's goods and send them to the ship, planning to stay here for the New Year, which means that he will not miss it. At this time, Zeng Yuanzi had already returned to Leizhou with the holy decree, took over the power of Guangxi again, and became the actual controller, and the Houjun was all sent back to Qiong. However, the imperial fleet that had been supplied did not mean to leave, but instead cut down wood and stones on the shore to build a camp, and arranged for soldiers to go ashore to rest, as if they were going to stay here.
"Chen Xiang of the Express, a large number of warships of the Shuaifu Army are heading towards our anchorage, and a large number of troops on land have also moved to the Qixingling area and are less than three miles away." As soon as the morning dawned, soldiers came on board to report.
"What do they want to do?" Chen Yizhong was shocked when he heard the report, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the conference hall to inquire.
"I don't know why they're here."
"Go and find out what they're doing." Chen Yizhong thought about it and commanded, but the sergeant stared at his face and did not answer, "Look at what I do, go quickly, don't go quickly!" ”
"Yes, the last general!" The sergeant immediately saluted when he heard the scolding, but when he walked out of the hatch, he hesitated and looked back, "Chen Xiang, your face ......"
"What's wrong with my face?" Chen Yizhong touched his face in confusion, and asked in confusion.
"It's hard to say!" The sergeant said a few words and hurried away.
"Inexplicable!" Chen Yizhong muttered, and ordered someone to invite Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and others to go over the boat to discuss the matter, but the expressions of the soldiers who listened to the order were also very strange, and they took the order with a smile first.
"Xiangye, what's wrong with your face?" Chen Yizhong finished ordering him to go back to the bedroom to wash and change clothes and prepare for the discussion, but the concubine who was serving him screamed in surprise.
"Ah......" Chen Yizhong saw the ghost three times in the morning, and hurriedly picked up the bronze mirror to look, only to see that someone had drawn a strange thing on the face of the person in the mirror with rouge, but under closer inspection, it was a dagger dripping with blood, and the tip of the knife was falling on his throat, and he couldn't help screaming in fright.
"Who entered the house last night?" Chen Yizhong can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves, and he quickly calmed down, he wiped off the traces on his face with a towel and turned around to ask the concubine.
"After Xiangye rests, there is no one else!" The concubine thought about it and replied.
"Is that weird?" Chen Yizhong's push portholes are all bolted, and there are servants on duty outside the cabin, there are soldiers keeping vigil at the door, and there are patrolling soldiers on the boat, who can sneak into his cabin and smear it on his face without realizing it, what should he do?
"Xiangye, is there something sneaky?" The concubine saw that Chen Yizhong's face changed a few times, and the doors and windows were closed by herself, and there were only the two of them in the inner room, and she would never dare to smear it on Xiangye's face, only ghosts could quietly enter, thinking of this, her hands and feet were soft and trembling and asked.
"Nonsense, the original appearance is upright, how dare you get close to you." Chen Yizhong reprimanded in a low voice, but his heart also became flustered. He knew very well that he was definitely a human and not a ghost, and this person was definitely a master if he could not alarm the guards on the ship, and sneak into the inner room. And he can kill himself unknowingly, but only leaving the 'Mobao' indicates that he is warning himself, not asking for his life.
"Who will come?" Chen Yizhong muttered to himself, and thought about the bad things he had done recently, he knew that if he didn't settle the matter quickly, the next person would not be so simple as scribbling on his face, but for a while, he couldn't remember to offend any powerful people.
"Liu Yan, who was on duty last night?" Chen Yizhong thought about how someone could sneak in with such a tight defense, only a traitor could do it, so he asked the person on duty to follow him.
"Prime minister, last night it was Zhang Ping of the pro-guard battalion, Deputy General Zhang." Liu Shili replied.
"Hmm." Chen Yizhong nodded and said, "Liu Yan, you have been in front of me for more than a year, right?" ”
"Xiangye, the little one will be in the house for another month, and it will be a year." Liu Yan replied.
"Well, it's not too late. You are diligent in your work, it is time to promote you, today you will take over the post of deputy general of the pro-guard battalion, and you will be given a certain official position in the future. Chen Yizhong said. He knew that it would take a lot of trouble to find out who wanted to kill him, and that it was imperative to increase the number of guards and remove those who might be traitors.
"Thank you Xiangye, but I have an order to let the little one die!" When Liu Yan heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and saluted.
"No need to be polite, as soon as you take over, you will choose a team of trusted henchmen to protect my ship and accompany you when you travel." Chen Yizhong said weakly.
"The little one obeys the order, and he will definitely protect the prime minister with all his heart." Liu Yan saluted again.
"Okay, after you change your waist card, go to Zhou Yuhou to get a hundred yuan to distribute to everyone, which is considered seniority." Chen Yizhong took two steps and turned back to say.
"Thank you!" Liu Bai thanked the aisle. When he went out, he pouted and sneered, his family had a huge amount of money, and he had to distribute a hundred yuan to a team of people, which was not as much as the monthly money that His Royal Highness gave him, so he still wanted people to work for him......
In order to facilitate the passage of ships and also facilitate protection, the imperial fleet connected the big ships with iron chains and put them on wooden planks to form a connecting city into a water village, placing the royal ship and the grain ship in it, and leaving a water gate to facilitate the boat to come and go.
"Deputy Envoy Zhang, what did the Shuai Fu Army intend, why didn't he warn earlier, so that the ship didn't find out when he arrived!" Chen Yizhong was already unhappy, and his words were naturally not so polite, and he had the intention of asking for guilt.
"Chen Xiang didn't know that the Shuaifu army was very strict in guarding the strait, and every other hour there were sentinels sailing out to patrol back and forth, and our sentinels did not dare to get too close to their water village, so there would be some delays." Zhang Shijie explained.
"The army of the Marshal Mansion on land is already all over the Qixingling, occupying all the important places, and the camps are all under our noses, don't you know?" Chen Yizhong said angrily.
"Chen Xiang, the army of the Shuaifu has been frequently mobilized since the confrontation with Liu Shen, this is a strategic place, and the imperial court is stationed here, it is common for them to strengthen their defense, so why be angry!" Su Liuyi stepped forward to explain.
"Hmph, you two sons-in-law neglected to take precautions, and they also tried their best to defend themselves, didn't they wait for the Marshal's army to put the knife on our necks and hold His Majesty and the Queen Mother hostage before preparing for war?" Chen Yizhong flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly...... (To be continued.) )
