Chapter 42: Arrival at Fufu
When Xuanzong's anger was sweeping through the entire Chang'an City, and the culprit who caused this storm, King Shou: Li Qing was leisurely riding a horse at the moment enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty along the way, and there was no preparation for another assassination at all, you must know that since the prince was able to assassinate him Li Qing for a while, it was possible to assassinate him a second time!
There is no doubt that although the team that assassinated Li Qing last time was completely wiped out, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the unique master of the Tang Dynasty's rivers and mountains in the future, if he said that he would never have the ability to assassinate Li Qing again, then no one would believe it, Li Qing would not believe it, and the Tsing Yi warriors present would not believe it!
The reason why he did this, Li Qing is not stupid, nor does he not cherish his life! Although the current prince may not have a good time under his own planning, Li Qing understands better that for the prince, if he wants to get rid of the competitor of King Shou permanently, this is his only chance, and no one knows better than himself how eager the current prince is to get rid of himself!
If Li Qing is really allowed to enter Jiannan Road safely, it will really be a dragon returning to the sea and the tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and Li Qing will not be able to do it again, and it will be easy for him to protect his life as the supreme commander of the military and political power in a region. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Besides, with the scheming that Li Qing has shown now, within three years, Li Qing will definitely be able to fully control the military and political power of Jiannan, and when the time comes, the entire Jiannan Road will become King Shou's "Yiyantang", when the time comes, if the prince wants to assassinate Li Qing again, I am afraid that even if all the elites are sent, it will not be enough for Li Qing to cut it alone!
It is not easy for Li Qing, who controls all the military power of the entire Jiannan, to deal with a few assassins, after all, this is an era of paying attention to power, no matter how strong your personal force is, you can't resist the impact of thousands of troops!
Whether it is from the immediate interests or from the long-term plan, for the prince, should not exist in this world, you must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the prince who has never failed to compete for the prince has had a good end, if it is changed before, maybe the prince does not have such an urgent idea!
"But now King Shou has already shown his grandeur in front of the prince, showing a deep scheming of the city, no matter what, with the prince's scheming, he will not allow such a terrible opponent to grow up and threaten his position, even if it is at the cost of offending the emperor, the prince will do whatever it takes to kill himself", Li Qing thought!
It is precisely because he figured this out that Li Qing will do the opposite, according to normal thinking, if he has experienced the life and death of the woods, King Shou will not rush to Jiannan Road at the fastest speed, where would he dare to stay and delay for half a minute! But Li Qing is Li Qing, he just avoided the thinking of ordinary people, and caught the prince off guard!
Originally, according to two days of walking, it was still very certain that it would not be good to get out of Gyeonggi Province, but the speed of everyone was pressed by Li Qing again and again, not to mention that everyone at this moment is a horse in their hands, but the speed of walking is probably not as fast as the walking speed of others! Fortunately, the warriors in Tsing Yi have always taken obedience to orders as their duty, so they will not hesitate to carry out Li Qing's orders!
If it were changed to another team and was fooled by Li Qing's "unknown reason" (at least in the hearts of the samurai in Tsing Yi), I am afraid that a mutiny would have been provoked long ago! You must know that behind everyone there may be an assassination team sent by the prince, everyone present this time understands that when the prince's assassination team comes, everyone will have a battle of life and death, after all, the black-clothed leader who escaped has already appreciated the strength of everyone!
Naturally, I won't come hastily, and the next time I come, it will definitely be a one-hit kill!
"Where is the front? Li Qing turned his head and asked Li Ye, who was always guarding his side, who was now the head of the Qinglong Guard. In fact, Li Qing didn't expect him to be able to answer, the reason why he asked like this was just with the attitude of trying it out!
In front of is Qizhou, the county capital of Fufeng County, about half an hour, we will be able to rest in Qizhou, as the political and economic center of Fufeng County, Qizhou can be said to be a large state within a radius of 100 miles, and it is a very important transportation hub between Jiannan Road and Chang'an! β
Contrary to Li Qing's expectations, Li Ye answered his question very smoothly! Not only that, but I also wanted to clarify the important geographical location of Qizhou myself.
In fact, Li Ye, as the orthodox leader of the three departments of the former Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally went out on missions many times, so he came and went, and he could be regarded as having a good understanding of the territory, geographical location, and customs of the Tang Dynasty, although he could not be said to be a jack of all trades, but everything could be related to two sentences!
Of course, these are destined not to be understood by Li Qing!
"Oh, in that case, try to arrive in Qizhou within a quarter of an hour, and at noon the master will have a meal in the mansion of the Qizhou Thorn Shi! After two days of travel, the birds have faded out of the master's mouth, this time I must treat me and my brothers well! "Then raise your whip and take the lead!
"Hearing that they can have a good meal at noon, a kind of Tsing Yi warrior is full of excitement, although it is elite, but people are iron, rice is steel, obviously can eat a good meal, no one can afford to get along with their own five internal organs temple!" So the speed of the group suddenly increased several times!
For Li Qing's foul words, and the self-proclaimed "little master" everyone is no longer surprised, the two days of getting along have made all the Tsing Yi warriors recognize King Shou from the bottom of their hearts, don't look at King Shou's elegant face, but in fact, what that face hides is an unrestrained heart, which is completely different from the previous performance of the supernatural mind and the deep city!
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, everyone really couldn't believe it, how could the two obviously contradictory personalities be perfectly embodied in a person, but if you don't want to think about it, you can't think about it, and everyone understands a conclusion, that is: no matter when and where, don't be the enemy of the Shouwang in front of you with a three-point ruffian and a seven-point elegant temperament! β
Shouwang has always treated his own people sincerely, never put the master on the shelf, and did not look down on them because of the humble background of the Tsing Yi warriors, on the contrary, it is precisely because of this that Shouwang takes care of them very much, and does not judge the hero by his background at all, Shouwang gives them the feeling that "eclectic selection of talents", as long as you have the ability, you can be used by him!
In a word, by Shouwang's side: don't worry that you will be buried (provided that you do have superior housekeeping skills)!
Finally, under the hurried rush of the group, the city that could only see the outline was clearly presented in front of his eyes at this moment, worthy of being the largest city within a radius of 100 miles, the transportation hub of Datang, the city in front of him is tall and magnificent, and the city in front of Li Qing who has seen it in two days can also set off the prosperous scene of entering and exiting the Golden Tang Dynasty!
Although it is not as prosperous and domineering as Chang'an, but as the political and economic center of Fufeng County among the six counties of Gyeonggi, Qizhou deserves it, and has not yet entered the city of Qizhou, but the lively sound in the city has reached the ears of everyone, the hawkers' shouting, the shouting of Xiaoer, and the scolding of the shopkeepers constitute a "beautiful" market symphony!
Looking at the flow of people in front of him, Li Qing can only realize the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty at this moment, ancient and modern times are different, to measure the prosperity of a dynasty, in addition to looking at the political, economic, cultural and military power it creates, it is more about the population of the country, I have to say, in this regard, today's Tang Dynasty can indeed be regarded as a prosperous Tang Dynasty!
Although the wealthy are still arrogant and extravagant, most of the ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty can still live, in fact, Emperor Xuanzong's real mediocrity began in the eleventh year of Tianbao, and before the eleventh year of Tianbao, the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty was still very advantageous compared to any previous dynasty!
Looking at the prosperous Qizhou City in front of him, Li Qing turned his head and asked Li Ye beside him and said indifferently: "Has the Xuanwu Secret Guard arrived in Qizhou City at this time?" β
Seeing King Shou speak, Li Ye naturally didn't dare to be careless, and responded: "Back to King Shou, all the members of the Xuanwu Secret Guard have already arrived in Qizhou at noon yesterday under the order of King Shou, and they have already investigated everything in Qizhou City, and there is no abnormality, the prince's assassination team has not arrived in Qizhou, it seems that the prince's counterattack has worked!" β
Regarding Li Ye's silent praise, Li Qing shook his head slowly, and said calmly: "It's just the calm before the storm, the hatred of the prince for me today is not something you can imagine, how can he not seize such an opportunity!" Maybe my counterattack can make the prince retreat temporarily, but if I want him to give up the interception of me, it is completely wishful thinking! β
Instead of pinning the hope of life on your enemies, it is better to have an invincible will and fight hard, so that maybe, there is still a glimmer of life! As the head of the Qinglong Guard, you actually have such a fluke mentality, and you are really disappointed, maybe the position of the head of the Qinglong Guard is not suitable for you!
Seeing that the praise could not be achieved, but was reprimanded by the young man in front of him, Li Ye's evaluation of King Shou couldn't help but rise to another level, in fact, the words just now were not Li Ye's deliberate praise, Li Ye just wanted to see how Li Qing behaved in the face of praise and praise, although he promised King Shou to become the head of the Qinglong Guard, but it was completely impossible to make the arrogant Li Ye completely surrender in just two days!
The result was beyond Li Ye's expectations, the Shouwang in front of him did not feel complacent, he seemed to see through his intentions, thinking of this, Li Ye felt a burst of "fear", at the same time, Li Ye couldn't help but firm up his decision, with such a city, coupled with a noble background, and the full assistance of his own prime minister, who is the world of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Qing is not a god after all, he naturally can't understand the thoughts in Li Ye's heart at this moment, seeing Li Ye's expression of fear at the moment, Li Qing has achieved his goal, Li Ye Xie has the grace to save his life, in order to prevent him from becoming bigger in Jiannan Road in the future and not under his own control, Li Qing has no choice but to take a deterrent method against it, so that he knows how to advance and retreat!
As for his life-saving grace, Li Qing will take other ways to repay him, but if he wants to shake Li Qing's control over Qinglong Mingwei because of this, Li Qing will not allow it!
With a wave of one hand, the group headed towards the cityγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Completely opposite to the scene when he left Chang'an, the team led by Li Qing at this moment can be described as vast, although Qizhou City is the political center and traffic artery within a radius of 100 miles, but the originally slightly spacious Qizhou City Gate suddenly became crowded with the arrival of Li Qing and his party!
The pedestrians who came and went retreated when they saw such a mighty team, not for anything else, just because they had such a pomp and circumstance, and they knew that they didn't know what they could afford to provoke, even if they could put such a pomp and circumstance with the prosperity of Qizhou City, they would definitely not exceed one hand, and each of them was a person with hands and eyes!
The city gate guards who originally wanted to show off their might saw such a mighty team, coupled with the members of the Qinglong Mingwei, all of whom showed cold light, carrying broad-bodied short swords, and looked like idlers should not disturb, the city gate guards were very familiar with the threatening words, and fortunately, even if the city gate guards swallowed, they didn't see it, and the Qinglong guards had already held the dagger hidden in their sleeves in their hands, just waiting for the order of the Qinglong guard, and the city gate guards in front of them who did not know the height of the sky and the height were killed on the spot! A bloody case is on the verge of breaking outγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
