If there is a wide river from Chang'an to Western Xinjiang, the sailor goes upstream, the mobilization time of the army can be doubled, but the matter of nature, manpower is forced, and there will be a poor time, the big river is not nothing, but the more you go to the western Xinjiang, the more turbulent and dangerous it is, and the big ship can't go at all.

Western Xinjiang is the territory of heavy armor, and in this land with only yellow sand, heavy armor can make yellow sand sink.

When Shen Leng and they arrived in Xijia City, the city was already lively inside and outside, and there were already hundreds of Taoists who came from all over the city, but they didn't disturb the people in the city, they all set up their own tents outside the city, and they refused to invite them into the city, only saying that it was a true humane sword order, and the disciples of the Taoist sect were not allowed to disturb the soldiers and people at the border gates.

When asked where the real person is, no one knows.

Outside the east gate of La Jia City, the general Tan Kyushu stood at the door and waited, and when he saw Shen Leng coming from a distance, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and Shen Leng jumped off the war horse when he was still far away, and walked a few steps before giving the gift of the juniors.

Tan Kyushu grabbed Shen Leng's arm: "General Shen, after many years, I see more style." ”

Shen Leng said: "The general is, the last time I saw the general, there were a few strands of gray hair on the sideburns, and I just glanced at it and it was gone, and I looked at it from a distance, and I also said that this is a handsome guy who stole the general's clothes." ”

Tan Kyushu laughed: "Although you are praising me by this, even I feel a little shameless." ”

Shen Leng: "Hahaha...... I'm telling the truth, the general really looks younger and younger, has he found a good way recently? ”

Talking about Kyushu: "Spend your days eating and waiting for death every day, of course, it looks easier." ”

Shen Leng leaned in and lowered his voice and said: "I don't believe it, is it that the general has been looking for something good recently, I heard that there is an ice spirit gem in the palace of the Houque Kingdom in the Western Regions, and it is rumored that it can be worn for a long time to keep the appearance of the body, did the general find the national treasure of the Houque Kingdom." ”

Tan Kyushu shook his head: "That kind of thing, not to mention whether it is true or not, even if it is true, how can it be easily obtained." ”

Shen Leng pretended to be abrupt: "Well, it turns out that it hasn't arrived yet, so let's go get it together?" ”

Tan Kyushu laughed: "It turns out that you have a plan, hahahaha." ”

Shen Leng and Kyushu put their hands into the city, and the people near the city gate all watched, and someone looked here and muttered: "It turns out that it is the world-famous General Shen, who is so young." ”

"How big do you think An Guogong is? An Guogong should be just twenty-eight years old this year. ”

"At the age of twenty-eight, we have created a myth that others can't create in a lifetime, think about it, compared to An Guogong, we have really wasted too much time."

Another Taoist shook his head: "That's all a fixed number, it's fate, I look at An Guogong's face, and the wealth is more than that." ”

He was originally a casual nonsense, but the listener had a heart, and immediately people with good deeds surrounded him: "An Guogong is already a very popular minister, you say that wealth is more than this, what else can it be?" ”

The Taoist was startled, and then realized that his nonsense might lead to something big.

But this unintentional sentence quickly spread outside La Liga.

"Have you heard? Some Taoists say that Guan'an Guogong is rich and noble, and he will create immortal achievements for Daning in the future. ”

"Have you heard? There is a highly respected Taoist chief who said that An Guogong has been rich and noble in this life, and he will be even richer in the future. ”

"Shhh

"Is it still possible?

Crowned king? ”

"Then who knows."

"You've heard about it, but I heard that it was said by a real person from the Daomen, saying that An Guogong has the right to dominate the world."

The border city gathered a large number of people, caravans, and even some people from Fanbang who were friendly to Daning, and these words were unconsciously spread by people on purpose, and the more they spread, but in just half a day, the entire La Liga City seemed to have heard about it, and the more they talked, the more outrageous it became.

Shen Leng was still chatting with Tan Kyushu in the mansion of the general of La Jia City, but there were already waves outside.

Some people can't help but think, An Guogong is only twenty-eight years old and is already a very human minister, His Majesty should have no seal for him, according to the title, Guogong is already a super product, unless he is crowned king, otherwise where is there greater wealth, but I don't know what's wrong, there is a more terrible saying that there is a rumor, some people say that the real people of Daomen look at the face of An Guogong, and have a heart of disobedience.

Naturally, the people of Daning will not take the initiative to compile stories to say this, but some people say it, and the people of Daning will also listen, and everyone is like this, telling relatives and friends what they think they hear is a secret story, and most of them have to add a sentence that you are not allowed to say, but everyone has relatives and friends, so you are not allowed to say a word about this, and you are not allowed to say a word about that, and you are all aware of it.

General's Palace.

Shen Leng glanced at Cao Anqing, who was tied up: "This person is Cao Anqing, the head of the East Palace, he was taken out of Chang'an by the Guqiang people in the northwest, and he should be going to Houque." ”

Tan Kyushu frowned slightly: "The people of the East Palace? ”

He subconsciously looked at Shen Leng, and Shen Leng nodded: "But ...... If nothing else, the characterization of the Chang'an City Court Governor's Mansion should be that Cao Anqing, the head of the East Palace, colluded with foreign thieves to steal a large number of treasures from the East Palace and absconded. ”

When he said these words, he deliberately looked at Cao Anqing, and sure enough, Cao Anqing looked disdainful and angry after hearing what he said.

"Your Majesty refuses to kill the prince like this?"

Cao Anqing squeezed out a contempt from his nose: "I look down on Your Majesty." ”

Tan Jiuzhou got up and slapped Cao Anqing's face with a palm: "You don't have that qualification." ”

Tan Kyushu is a general of a Xinjiang, and the power of this palm almost fanned out half of the flesh on Cao Anqing's face, Cao Anqing was tied, and this palm knocked him out six or seven rolls, and when he stopped, there was blood in the corners of his eyes, mouth, and nose.

Cao Anqing couldn't get up, lay there, and spat the blood in his mouth: "Everyone is qualified to look down on anyone, what's wrong with the emperor?" The emperor's son wanted to kill him, but the emperor was reluctant to kill his son, did he want to leave a good name? ”

Tan Kyushu strode over, Shen Leng pulled him, and Tan Kyushu turned around: "I won't kill him." ”

"There's no point in beating him up against someone like him."

Shen Leng asked, "Who is in charge of the lieutenant in the army?" ”

"The Tingwei Mansion is divided into thousands of offices."

Shen Leng snorted: "Please come to him." ”

Not long after, the Xijiang Heavy Armor Tingwei Mansion Branch Yaqian Office walked in quickly from the outside, and after seeing Shen Leng and talking about Kyushu, he leaned over and saluted, Shen Leng returned the salute and said: "As long as this person does not die, even if he hangs in one breath, he must be kept alive, and how to judge him according to your will, remember to remember, people can't die, at least they can't die until they make it clear what he knows." ”

Shen Leng glanced at Tan Jiuzhou, although he didn't say it, Tan Jiuzhou still understood his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Except for Ren Qianban, everyone else should go out." ”

Soon there were only four people left in the room: Shen Leng, talking about Kyushu, Ren Lao and Cao Anqing.

"Ren Qianban."

Talk

Kyushu walked up to Ren Lao and lowered his voice and said, "No matter what this person confesses, you must hand it over to me and An Guogong to see, if it is...... If you confess something that involves the East Palace, you are only allowed to keep all the records, and the less anyone knows any information in the records, the better. ”

Ren Lao already knew that the person tied in front of him was Cao Anqing, the head of the East Palace, of course, he also knew the stakes, and if he was not careful, he would involve His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was not terrible to be involved, but the terrible thing was that if someone publicized these things, before the war, I was afraid that the army would be unstable, and what was even more terrible would make the people angry and uneasy.

Ren Lao nodded and looked at Shen Leng: "An Guogong, outside...... Now there are some rumors out there that say ......"

He looked at Tan Kyushu again, and Tan Kyushu waved his hand: "Just talk about you." ”

Ren Lao said: "Outside, from An Guogong to La Jia City, suddenly someone spread the news, saying that the national teacher is a real person who looks at An Guogong's face, and there is a ...... has a heart of disobedience, and also said that An Guogong is rich and noble in this life, and he will not be a national prince. ”

Shen Leng's face changed: "I just arrived." ”

It's not good to talk about Kyushu's face: "Take someone to find out, who is spreading rumors indiscriminately." ”

"Yes!"

Ren Lao bowed his head and said: "If you are lowly, you will arrange someone to investigate." ”

"You know what to do."

Talking about Kyushu: "The people of the Western Regions wish that there would be problems between our own people, and they also wish that the people of La Liga City were unstable. ”

Ren Lao thought for a while and said: "The Tingwei Mansion will catch a few merchants from the Houque State outside the city, these people are all spies sent by the Houque State to infiltrate Daning, and all the rumors are spread by them, the purpose is to make people suspect An Guogong, and even cause civil unrest among the people, so these people will soon be beheaded in public outside the city gate." ”

Tan Kyushu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay." ”

Ren Lao waved his hand, and his subordinate Tingwei grabbed Cao Anqing, and the two of them carried them out of the study.

"Ren Qianban."

Tan Kyushu chased again: "This person is too important, when should he die, he has to wait for the holy decree." ”

Ren Lao's eyes lit up: "I understand the humble position." ”

If Your Majesty doesn't want to move the prince, there will be a decree soon after the news arrives in Chang'an City, and Cao Anqing will have to die quickly, if His Majesty intends to move the prince, Cao Anqing will be escorted back by the people sent by Chang'an City, so this person really can't die yet.

"Didn't you say that Xiao Zhang Zhenren also came?"

Tan Kyushu looked at Shen Leng: "Why didn't you see anyone?" ”

Shen Leng sighed: "It's also a willful." ”

Until now, the two Taoists have not found where Xiao Zhang Zhenren is, and none of the Taoists who got the Dao Sword Order and rushed to Xijia City can provide clues, Xiao Zhang Zhenren seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and everyone who comes to the Dao knows the Sword Order, but everyone does not see the real person of the national teacher.

Opposite La Jia City is the border city of Houque Kingdom, Tongyangtai, at this moment, a group of merchants from the Western Regions drove a carriage at the gate of the city to be checked, and each carriage was filled with large boxes.

The leader of the caravan carried a small bag of gold and stuffed it into the hands of the officers guarding the city gate, and said with a smile: "The last trip is the goods, and I will not be able to come for a while in the future, so this little respectful lord will take it." ”

The officer opened the money bag and looked at it, and the golden eyes suddenly made him happy: "You still know how to be a man, go in." ”

The leader of the caravan thanked him and led the convoy into Tongyangtai City.

Except for the first carriage, all the carriages behind were in the lowest chests.
