As soon as the emperor said a word, hundreds of heads were cut off on the street outside Chengtianmen.

The so-called Jianghu guests are not worth mentioning in front of the imperial power, and they are also vulnerable.

Outside Chang'an City, Sumeru Yan killed dozens of people by himself, and when Gu Le brought people to arrive, he still did not find any trace of Sumeru, only saw dead bodies in a few places in the village, and also saw a group of corpses kneeling there in the ditch on the side of the official road, and everyone swallowed their knives and died.

Gu Le carefully inspected it in the courtyard and shook his head: "All the scenes were killed by a knife, only there was a fight in the courtyard." ”

He walked slowly in the courtyard, his hand lightly swept over a knife mark on the tree: "The strength of the person who fought against Sumeruhiko is not weak, Sumeruhiko failed to kill him with one blow, and he should have escaped." ”

A low tree in the yard was neatly cut off at the top, and when it was stretched out, a knife mark was seen on the wall.

"Sumeru's opponent is not weak."

Gu Le said twice in a row that the opponent's strength was not weak.

"But he should be fine, if he has something, he should find us, if the person is already dead, he will lie here, there is no need for the Mulberry people to take his body, now it seems that Sumeru should be hunted down."

Shen Leng nodded, and looked at the knife marks on the wall, the masonry on the wall was very hard, and the marks made by the knife were deep and straight, and it was impossible for a person with insufficient strength to have a knife mark like this.

"I haven't seen the swordsmanship of the Sang people."

Gu Le said: "But I've heard rumors that it's a knife technique that converts the forehand knife and backhand knife very quickly, so the knife is very weird, Sumeru has been chasing and killing alone, I'm worried that he will encounter some trouble." ”

Shen Leng got up and looked around, there was a corpse hanging on the tree, the corpse had not been put down, the wind was blowing, the corpse was still slowly rotating there, Shen Leng suddenly felt that something was wrong, walked to the side of the corpse, reached out and took out a piece of paper in the pocket of the corpse's clothes, there was no autopsy, so the contents of the corpse's pocket could not be found in time.

The letter was left by Sumeru Hiko, which probably means that the leader of the Sang people was surprisingly unable to kill him with one blow, and the person had fled, and if he was not caught, this person Sumeru Hiko would not return to Chang'an.

Shen Leng sighed, he knew Sumeru's temperament, it was a person who was unwilling to kill Ningren as a killer, in Sumeru's opinion, the person he desperately guarded was harmed by the Sangren, how could he endure it? Besides, when he was a killer, Sumeru looked down on those San killers.

Shen Leng handed the letter to Gu Le: "It was written in a hurry, the leader of the fleeing Sang people asked the rest of the people to stop Sumeru from running away, and the rest of the Sang people ......"

Shen Leng pointed to the other side of the door: "It should have been killed by Sumeru over there, he saw that he couldn't catch up, so he left a letter, follow the traces to find it, it shouldn't be too far, the Sang people should still have accomplices, these people must be dug up." ”

At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, and soon after, a war horse stopped outside the door, and Chen Ran shouted from the horse: "Your Majesty summons the general into the palace." ”

Shen Leng snorted and looked at Gu Le: "Tell the brothers to be more careful, it would be unwise to let the brothers be in danger for the sake of being captured, these people have no need to be captured alive at all, and it is very clear why they came." ”

Gu Le responded: "Don't worry, you can catch and kill, then kill." ”

Shen Leng nodded, turned around and went out of the door, as soon as he arrived outside the door, the black mastiff pounced towards Shen Leng, Shen Leng smiled, the black mastiff was tired of Shen Leng's body, Shen Leng looked at it and saw that the saddle was on, and patted the black mastiff's head: "Can you remember your dog, you actually kicked me just now......."

The black mastiff whined, and all the people in the Tingwei Mansion subconsciously gave way to the side.

Shen Leng turned over the dog, Chen Ran urged the horse to rush out first, and the black mastiff barked again, learning the sound of the horse's barking, as well as the tail note...... Whoop and tweet.

It didn't take long to surpass Chen Ran's war horse, and he overtook it with a kick, and the ass of ecstasy was as good as it could be.

Changan.

Shen Leng stopped outside the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate all stood and saluted when they saw him, and they could see who it was when they were far away, after all, Shen Leng was the only one who rode a dog to fight today.

Shen Leng returned the salute after getting out of the dog, and asked when he entered the door: "Are there any people who have entered the city gate in the past few days whose age and appearance do not match the road guide?" ”

The soldiers defending the city shook their heads: "General Hui, we have been strictly ordered that all suspicious people will be detained first, and we have not found them in the past few days." ”

Shen Leng snorted, and suddenly noticed that there was a person in front of him who was walking in a hurry, and his back seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was for a while, so he handed the black mastiff to Chen Ran: "Go separately, you go home first." ”

Chen Ran didn't know why, so he looked forward along Shen Leng's gaze, but he didn't see anything wrong.

Shen Leng tidied up his clothes and followed, the person in front of him was moving faster and faster, he was going to go out of the city, but when he arrived at the city gate, he suddenly saw Shen Leng, and immediately turned around and came back, he walked to the mouth of an alley and immediately dodged in, and then secretly poked his head out to look out, and found that Shen Leng was missing on the road behind him.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, his smile bitter.

He turned around to leave, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Leng leaning against the wall and looking at him, this person was so frightened that he ran back, stumbling, Shen Leng looked at the man and said, "Don't run, where can you run?" ”

As soon as the man's footsteps stopped, he should have been terribly afraid, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Shen Leng walked over, walked to the man's side, and said in a very soft voice: "Master Kang, are you going out of the city?" Although Daning is big, where can you go? ”

The man had a fake beard, but he was still recognized, and it was Kang Wei who sneaked back to Chang'an from Pingyue Road.

Kang Wei sighed: "I'm only one step away from leaving the city, General Shen, can you let me live?" ”

Shen Leng shook his head: "What do you think?" ”

Kang Wei looked at Shen Leng: "I didn't do anything to be sorry for Daning, I just ...... I was confused for a while, I left a fake stand-in in Pingyue Road, if nothing happened to the general, I will work hard after returning to Pingyue Road, and I will never make any more mistakes. ”

Shen Leng frowned: "Why deceive yourself? ’

Kang Wei was stunned: "Yes...... It's a bit self-deceptive, how could Your Majesty not know that I'm back. ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand and put his hand on Kang Wei's shoulder, hugging his shoulders like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years: "If you escape, you will definitely die, if you don't escape, Your Majesty may let you live when you think of the old love." ”

Kang Wei stopped talking, and his face looked like ashes.

Weiyang Palace.

The emperor glanced at Kang Wei, who was kneeling in front of him, and the anger in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

"Are you disappointed that I came back alive?"

Kang Wei slammed his head on the ground, not daring to answer.

"I never imagined that the people I trusted and valued would one day expect me to die outside the country."

Kang Wei raised his head: "Your Majesty, the minister has never thought of murdering His Majesty, and he has never hoped that His Majesty will have something, the minister will come back, because the minister knows that if he does not come back, the minister will definitely die, the minister is a useful body, and he also wants to serve Daning, serve His Majesty, some words The minister can no longer allow the minister to live, just like the minister's mentor......"

The emperor asked, "Then why did you flee?" ”

Kang Wei said: "Because of the hundreds of people that Your Majesty killed outside the Chengtian Gate, the ministers are afraid. ”

The emperor glanced at Shen Leng, and Shen Leng lowered his head and said: "Kang Wei is dead, but this person can be sent to Northern Xinjiang, the new land in Northern Xinjiang is thousands of miles, and a large number of local officials need to be transferred to make up for the affairs of the people, and there is no Kang Wei in the world." ”

Kang Wei looked at Shen Leng with gratitude in his eyes.

The Emperor was silent for a long time and then said, "I will stay."

With you, it's because I can still use you in the future, you can live, from now on, you will be called Kang Repentance, I hope you have a heart of repentance, what you say will die Undoubtedly, I don't believe it, if you have no greed in your heart, you can arrest the person who is looking for you, you are in Pingyue Road, as a Taoist mansion, can't the guards around you still protect you? I can see through your mind, but I just keep you useful. ”

Kang Wei couldn't stop kowtowing: "Sinner, thank Your Majesty for not killing." ”

"Shen Leng."

The emperor looked at Shen Leng: "Send a team from your people to send him to the northern frontier and hand them over to Wu Xinyu." ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The emperor looked at Kang Wei again: "I had high hopes for you, so the more disappointed I get, you go, I don't want to see you." ”

Kang Wei hurriedly kowtowed a few more times, bowed down and withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion.

The emperor sighed: "I kept him just to ......"

Shen Leng said: "It's because Your Majesty is merciful." ”

The emperor was stunned, what he wanted to say just now was that I kept him just so that in the future, when the Taimiao worships the ancestors and abolishes the prince, the prince will have nothing to say, but Shen Leng stopped him back, and the emperor came to his senses, how could these words be said at will? He was in a very bad mood just now, so he couldn't be cautious in his words, he glanced at Shen Leng: "Talking about other things, how is the matter of the Sang people?" ”

Shen Leng told him about the current progress, and after listening to it, the emperor pointed to the table: "King Sang Guoying sent me a letter of state, asking me to put his son Yingtiao Liu'an back, as a condition, he is willing to send 3,000 people as slaves, and he is also willing to sacrifice 50,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold to Daning." ”

Shen Leng said: "It's just a means to cover up people's ears, if you can come back, you have to come back, and if you can grab it back, you can grab it back." ”

The emperor said: "I originally wanted to move the Sang Kingdom in a few years, but now it seems that the ambitions of the Sang people can no longer allow me to wait a few years...... Let's talk about it, if you use the strength of the sailor to use force against Sang Guo now, what are the chances of victory? ”

"I don't know."

Shen Leng said: "The sea area is unpredictable, no one has explored the waterway to go to Sang Country in the past, the minister ordered to only kill and not arrest it is the minister's negligence, he should arrest everyone and then interrogate the sea route, but even if he starts preparing now, he can't send troops to Sang Country in a year, but the minister thought of a way...... Since the Sang people are disobedient, and the Bohai people are not obedient, it is better to recruit the Bohai people, let Yan Kaisong, the general who stayed in the Bohai Sea, recruit 100,000 Bohai Navy, and attack the Sang country from north to south. ”

The corners of the emperor's mouth raised slightly: "Very bad." ”

Shen Leng: "Huh? ”

The Emperor laughed, "It's a bad guy who can come up with a solution." ”

Shen Leng hung his head.

The emperor said: "Let's do it, use the Bohai people to fight the Sang people, and I asked Yan Kaisong to tell those Bohai people that everything they get in the Sang country is theirs, whether it is gold, silver or anything else, as long as they grab it, it will be theirs." ”

Shen Leng said: "The Sang people have harmed dozens of Daning women, and the minister thinks that one more can be added, and the Bohai people who enter the Sang country, except that it is a capital crime to obey the military order, there is no need to restrain others......"

The emperor seems to have seen what the Bohai people will do in the Sang country, maybe the Bohai people are still happy to do so, a few years ago, the pirates of the Sang people have also burned, killed and looted on the coast of the Bohai country, and did all kinds of evil.

"One more."

The emperor looked out the window: "Those who kill a thousand people can be named generals, I ...... You can also be wicked. ”

Shen Leng also knew that the general that the emperor said was of course not a soldier general, but a cake drawn for the Bohai people.
