Chapter 201: An Unexpected Change



An Min They stayed in the post house is not far from the palace, after entering the post house to get all the manpower, Cao Anmin quietly waited for Li Ang, he deliberately put himself in danger this time, in addition to finding out the mastermind who has been hiding for decades, in addition to taking the opportunity to hone himself, one hundred and fifty years, before the successive Great Qin Emperors ascended the throne, when they were still princes, according to ancestral teachings and traditions, they should go to Dragon City Jerusalem at the age of fourteen to protect the Qin Mausoleum, and exercise their martial arts in three years, At the same time, learn how to rule and balance those countries that depend on Great Qin, and understand how hard-won Great Qin's hegemony is.

Cao Anmin is twenty-three years old this year, but he has never been to Jerusalem, the dragon city, because the emperor only has one son, so he has been locked up in the palace since he was a child, and he has never even been out of Chang'an. Cao Anmin often felt that he might be the most inexperienced of the princes of the Great Qin Dynasty, so he cherished this opportunity.

In the quiet room of the post house, Cao Anmin sat quietly on his knees in a posture inherited from the ancient tradition, with a solemn face. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Li Ang walked in, looking at Cao Anmin, who was sitting precariously, he also knelt down. "As you expected, someone in the country of rice colluded with the people of Daqin, and the stroke of the lord of the country of rice was assassinated." Li Ang told Cao Anmin what he had heard in the palace.

"Traitor." Cao Anmin coldly spit out these two words, the betrayal of Daqin is the betrayal of him, this is his consciousness as the prince of Daqin, after being silent for a while, he looked at Li Ang, "We must find out these traitors." ”

"Whoa." Li Ang answered. Then he looked at Cao Anmin, "The prince is a country. Xia Guan hopes that the prince can think of the world and not take risks lightly. Leon's voice was low, he was not a former republic, but a feudal dynasty, an ancient empire, even if this dynastic empire was more enlightened than all the dynasties in history. But if the prince has a case, it will be difficult for him to live, and it will even affect his family, so no matter what, he must ensure the prince's safety first.

"Li Qing's words, Lone understands, Lone will not do that kind of brave foolish thing." Cao Anmin, as the crown prince, responded to the advice made by Li Angyi's subordinates, he is not the kind of person who does not know things, he knows his importance.

"In this way, the lower officials will be relieved." Leon breathed a sigh of relief. What he is most afraid of is that Cao Anmin will take action personally, and now the king of the rice country is not a safe place. In his opinion, it is absolutely likely that there will be new assassinations. After a little more chat, Li Ang withdrew from the quiet room, he knew that Cao Anmin needed to calm down and think about something, and he was the same.

Everything involved extremely secret intelligence, and it was obvious that if there was a traitor on Daqin's side. The identity of that traitor is definitely not low, Li Ang couldn't help but think of the chief, but he quickly vetoed it, how could the chief deal with the prince, this is ridiculous! Thinking of this, Li Ang suddenly caught something, "Could it be someone from the chief's side?" "After all, although there are not many people around the chief who can come into contact with these secrets, there will be no less, and some information can only be inferred from some small things.

Although Leon didn't want to believe his own speculation, he had to accept a fact. That is, there are traitors around the chief, or in the White Tiger Festival Hall. And the grade is not low, and more importantly, if the prince is involved, things are not just that simple.

In the private room of the restaurant three streets away from the post house, Gao Changgong found Cao Shaoqin, "Why are you also here in Dongchang?" Looking at the governor of Dongchang, who was always dressed in black and heavy brocade, Gao Changgong frowned, he didn't like Dongchang, although they and the Junwang team were also secret troops in the dark, but Dongchang had always been on a mission in the country before, and the innocent blood on their hands was all Han Chinese.

"This is the order of His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief, do you think that the life of the crown prince can be protected by you and the person surnamed Li?" Cao Shaoqin's tone was depressed and gloomy, and the content of his speech also made Gao Changgong unhappy.

"What, you want to do it with me?" Looking at Gao Changgong, who was holding the handle of the knife on his waist, Cao Shaoqin said expressionlessly, and then shook his head, "Your Great Commander personally and I are almost the same, you are far behind." ”

Gao Changgong looked at Cao Shaoqin, who turned around and turned his back to him, the knuckles of his fingers holding the knife were a little pale because he was too hard, and finally he let go of the handle of the knife, and the anger in his eyes was suppressed, he was a proud person, but not an arrogant person.

"You didn't come to me just to ask me why Dongchang is here?" Cao Shaoqin looked at the slowly setting sun in the distance, and said quietly, his words made Gao Changgong behind him raise his eyebrows, but Gao Changgong still endured it.

"What do you know?" Gao Changgong walked to Cao Shaoqin's side, although he didn't like Cao Shaoqin, but he had to admit that Cao Shaoqin was a powerful figure, much more powerful than Jinyiwei's surname Wei.

"What do you want to know?" Cao Shaoqin still didn't look at Gao Changgong, and his voice was still so uncomfortable, and there was no change in the expression on his pale face like a dead man.

"The affairs of the rice country, is there a traitor in Daqin?" Gao Changgong said that he, like Li Ang, had thought about whether he had a traitor and leaked the prince's whereabouts since the assassination.

"It's going to be a tough fight, our enemy is strong and intelligent, and most importantly he's patient." Cao Shaoqin said to himself lightly, "Your Majesty's affairs must have been heard of by you, the enemy appeared thirty years ago, and thirty years is enough for them to do a lot of things." ”

Gao Chang was silent, the enemy hidden in the shadows was definitely a terrible person, he looked at Cao Shaoqin, "Do you have any clue?" ”

"The enemy who can have this kind of power can only be the domestic family Gaomen, but it is precisely because of this that there is no clue." Cao Shaoqin replied, he looked at Gao Changgong, "Until everything is clear, we can't make any moves. ”

"I know, but if that's the case, I'm really unwilling." Of course, Gao Changgong understood what Cao Shaoqin meant, if he was suspicious. There is no doubt that all the high-ranking families of Great Qin have this suspicion, including the Gao family.

"No matter what. Protect the prince first. Seeing that Gao Chang was silent suddenly, Cao Shaoqin said in a deep voice, and then left the private room.

Night, Hua

, Gao Changgong stood on the roof of the small building under the Baoxia Ground, looking at the post house in the distance. He had already decided that as long as the dragoons arrived, even if it was tied up, he would let the prince return to Chang'an, which was too unsafe here. While he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and judging from the sound, it was cavalry, and there were quite a few of them.

"Something's wrong. Damn it! "I watched as a large number of ground cavalry galloped from the far side of the street, surrounding the entire post house. Gao Changgong scolded, he didn't think that the large-scale cavalry surrounding the post house at this time was to invite the people inside to the palace as guests.

"Go and gather our men, and wait for my orders." Looking at his subordinates beside him, Gao Changgong said coldly, he hates vassal states. It is because these countries have their own armies, no matter how close their royal families and nobles are to Daqin, as long as someone has a hot brain or a desire for profit, they will bite Daqin back, after all, what is beaten down is true!

Hearing the news from the soldiers on the perimeter, Li Ang looked at Cao Anmin, then he stood up and gave an order, "No one is allowed to act rashly." Everything is to protect Cao Duwei first. With that, he walked out of the lobby. Walked straight to the outside of the post house.

Outside the post house, looking at Li Ang who walked out, Mi Yun jumped off the horse, he was dressed in military uniform, his face was gloomy, and there was a bit of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Li Ang. "The eldest prince led troops to surround here, is it to rebel?" Li Ang's voice was cold, at this time his identity was an envoy of Great Qin, and such a move by Mi Guo could be regarded as a rebellious move.

"My father, the king, died, not long after the envoy left, and the cause of death was poisoning, I wonder if the envoy has any good explanation?" Looking at Li Ang, Mi Yun pressed his ground knife and said quietly, although he didn't want to believe that it was the Great Qin envoy in front of him who poisoned his father, but today he was the only one who had been alone with his father, and soon after he left, his father was poisoned to death, and he couldn't help but not suspect it.

"You suspect that the envoy has assassinated the lord of the country, so you sent troops to surround this place." Looking at Mi Yun with a gloomy face, Li Ang asked word by word, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that the envoy did it?" ”

"Do you still need proof?" The deputy general beside Mi Yun said in a loud voice, with a sad and indignant face, "You want to destroy our country and abolish the throne of the lord, and if the lord of the country does not agree, you will secretly poison you." ”

Listening to the general's words, Li Ang's complexion changed suddenly, the matter that Daqin and Mi Xiong were talking about was actually leaked, the person behind the scenes made a move, everything was arranged just right, it was useless for him to explain it now, and all the thoughts of those powerful people of the rice country were now all focused on the matter of Daqin wanting to abolish the rice country.

"If the envoy really wanted to harm the lord of the country, how could he be so stupid and give people a handle so easily." Although Li Ang knew that it was useless to explain, there were some things that had to be said, after all, Mi Yun in front of him was not a stupid person, as long as he could move him, Li Ang was sure to resolve this trick made by the people behind the scenes. Mi Yun's maternal line does not have any power, and it is precisely because of this that the dead Mi Xiong will hand over the palace forbidden army to this eldest son to take charge, it can be said that now in the capital of Mi Wang, it is the eldest prince in front of him who holds a heavy army, as long as he remains calm and can listen to his words, then everything is easy to say.

Listening to Li Ang's words, a trace of hesitation flashed in Mi Yun's hands, indeed as Li Ang said, if Da Qin really wanted to harm his father, how could he use such a clumsy method, he looked at Li Ang, and muttered for a while before saying, "Let's not mention the death of my father, so does Da Qin really want to abolish our Mi Kingdom and change it to a state and county?" ”

"The envoy never knew about this, I don't know where the eldest prince heard about it?" Li Ang denied this matter, in his opinion, what really made the magnates of the United States care about this matter at the moment, as for Mi Xiong's death, it was no longer important.

"Am I listening?" Mi Yun was about to tell the origin of the news, when in the darkness, a crossbow arrow suddenly shot through his skull, spurting blood on Leon's face, and then he slowly fell to the ground.

This sudden scene made all the forbidden soldiers of the United States stunned, but soon among them, I don't know who shouted, "Kill them and avenge the eldest prince." "Mi Yun Pingsu commanded the forbidden army, quite prestigious, at this time he died, those Mi forbidden army under such a slogan, immediately out of control, they dismounted and attacked the post house.

"They're crazy." Across the tall building outside the post house, Gao Changgong's face became ugly, he only saw the forbidden army of the United States attacking the post house, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Let our men go and seize the East Gate until we return." After Gao Changgong gave the order, he rushed in the direction of the post house with his army and king's team, and now he only hoped that Cao Shaoqin and Dongchang would have enough men and horses to protect the prince and kill him out of the city.

Li Ang retreated to the post house the moment those Mei forbidden troops rushed up, and then the Daqin soldiers who guarded the post house shot those who broke in. Li Ang's face was pale, he and Cao Anmin completely fell into the trap, and the person hiding in the shadows played a trick to kill people with a knife.

Li Ang rushed straight to the house where Cao Anmin was, all he could do now was to take Cao Anmin to break through and go to Gao Changgong, they must leave the city before dawn, otherwise, they will all be buried here.

Taking over his sword from Yuan Luoshen's hand, Li Ang tore off the gorgeous clothes on his body, revealing a military uniform, and surrounded Cao Anmin in the center with the Thirteen Taibao, and killed him outside, at this time everyone knew that Cao Anmin's identity was not simple, but they had no time to ask, so they could only follow Li Ang's orders and protect Cao Anmin with all their might.

In the post house, the soldiers of Daqin had already engaged with the invading forbidden army of the United States and fought each other. Outside the post house, the United States forbidden army had restored order, and under the command of the adjutant general, they began to shoot covering the post house with bows and arrows, without caring for their companions who had already entered.

Hearing the whistling sound in the darkness, Li Ang, who had already arrived at the courtyard, changed his face, and immediately pulled Cao Anmin to the ground, protecting him to the death, and the Thirteen Taibao also reacted quickly and pressed on Li Ang.

Seeing the arrow array that suddenly shot towards the post house, Gao Changgong's eyes were red, he jumped on the wall, and ran wildly on the roof next to the street, he wanted to kill the Mi general who commanded the arrow array.
