Chapter 456: Undercurrent (3)
His Royal Highness the Third Prince was lying on a cart, two burly Daheng people were pushing the cart, and Xu Lin was shushing on the side. 、
The mountain road was bumpy, and the two big men were quite struggling, and there were beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Xu Lin looked at the endless mountain road in front of him, and couldn't help sighing, and he was about to complain: "How long will this kind of road go, at this speed, soon Chen Guoren's soldiers will catch up." ”
The most burly man was named Li Hu, he took the opportunity to stop and wipe his sweat, and said, "Lord Xu, don't worry, this mountain is not on the way to Daheng, and the soldiers of the Chen State will not pursue it here." And with two more days to go, we'll be safe. ”
Xu Linhu said suspiciously: "We are not going to Daheng, why do we have to take this road?" ”
Thinking of the arrangement of Qingdu Middle School, Li Hu gritted his teeth in his heart, but his face remained calm, and he said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, we are now grasshoppers on a boat, and no one can go ashore at this time." The road directly to Daheng was too choppy, so we still found another way. ”
Xu Lin looked at Li Hu's eyes and asked, "You Daheng shouldn't be the only three of you in Qingdu, right?" ”
After scolding in his heart that it was really an old fox, Li Hu said hatefully: "Of course it's not all, I'm mainly responsible for protecting you and His Royal Highness the Third Prince to Daheng." And the others in Qingdu, they are responsible for stopping Chen Baichuan from searching for you on a large scale. ”
Xu Lin asked again: "How can the people in Qingdu stop Chen Baichuan?" Even King Qing paid the price of blood to be able to ......"
Li Hu finally got impatient, showed a hideous face, and said viciously: "Lord Xu, you have enough questions today, I don't want to hear your words with a hidden purpose again." I, Li Hu, am a rough man, but I can also hear the sharpness in your words, so I tell you like this, what I was ordered from above was to go back with His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”
Xu Lin's face turned pale and he didn't dare to speak again.
At this time, there was a sudden cold snort.
The two turned their heads over, and it turned out that His Royal Highness the Third Prince on the cart had woken up. His Royal Highness the Third Prince looked at Li Hu with fiery eyes, and Li Hu actually felt a chill in his heart.
It stands to reason that he is a martial artist, and he will definitely not be afraid of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, a patient who looks weak and can't even sit up.
His Royal Highness the Third Prince said coldly: "Li Hu, you can leave the two of us in this mountain forest, and then return to Daheng by yourself." Let me tell you, Mr. Xu treats me like a parent, and I will naturally treat him like a father. If you are disrespectful, you are ready to return to Daheng with my corpse. What will happen to you then? ”
"You?" Being threatened by a "patient", Li Hu couldn't help but be angry.
However, he had to admit the words of the third prince.
If he can't return to Daheng with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, all the arrangements launched by Daheng in the entire Qingguo will be in vain.
When the time comes, his best outcome will be death.
Li Hu only relented and said, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, please rest assured, Li Hu remembers what you just said." Lord Xu, we will take good care of it. ”
"Tell me about your plans in Keito." His Royal Highness the Third Prince's voice was still cold.
So far, of course Li Hu will not refuse.
In fact, he just didn't want to waste words with Xu Lin, they had already come here, and it was already impossible to go back to Qingdu to stop what happened in Qingdu.
After listening to Li Hu's words, His Royal Highness the Third Prince showed a look of shame and pain on his face.
It's just that it was covered by the traces of the fire, and the other three couldn't see his expression. However, the third prince actually had a sweet throat, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fainted with black eyes.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"
…………………………
On an ordinary morning in the capital, everything looks the same as usual. Street vendors are still shouting and selling, and all kinds of small stalls surround passers-by.
The people are like fish with only seven seconds of memory, and the pain of losing the country may be buried in their hearts, but it will definitely not hinder their pursuit of survival. People will always be sentimental, but hunger is more cruel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be tormented.
As a result, Qingdu soon returned to its pre-fire appearance, with the hawkers still working hard and the farmers still working hard.
The only change is probably those scholars, too many of them are drunk and dreaming of death. Of course, there are also some people who have accepted the name of Chen Guo Shusheng and are trying to climb to Chen Guo's court.
The sad ones are the scholars, and the happy ones are the old bustards and the tavern owners who have become better in business.
On the way, a coffin suddenly appeared without warning.
The coffin is not an auspicious thing, so the people on the street spontaneously gave way to it. This does not mean that they have many qualities, it only means that they will never want to be contaminated with bad luck on the coffin.
Qingdu is a big city in this era, except for the distant Daheng Imperial Capital, perhaps it is difficult to have a city of this scale in the world.
When there are more people, there will naturally be more dead people.
Qingdu has to die every day, so it is normal to see the funeral procession on the road. For a qualified Qingdu people, this is a must-go.
What surprised them was what made this funeral procession unique.
Not to mention that the funeral bearers were wearing bright red clothes, as if it was an auspicious day for the newlyweds.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a person in the coffin.
It is normal to have a person in the coffin, even if it is a living person. But what is the meaning of a living person sitting on top of a coffin lid?
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Isn't this Lord Li, the head of the household?" I've had the pleasure of seeing it once before, he, what's wrong with him......"
The onlookers couldn't help but be shocked, in this era when there was no news broadcast, their usual news was whose little daughter-in-law cheated on her. This kind of lively event related to the court officials, but few people can participate in it.
Everyone doesn't mind that in fact, Li Shilang's official position is gone, anyway, knowing that there is a big excitement to watch, the big guy is not polite, and follows the "funeral" team and walks together.
The same situation happened on many streets in Gyeongdo.
What is staggering is that every person lying on the coffin is a former member of the court.
This "feat" of theirs attracted the people of the whole city to follow them like bees collecting honey.
When there are more people, there is more power.
Tens of thousands of people were attracted by the actions of the ministers of the previous dynasty, and the large procession gathered into a torrent washed through the streets of Gyeongdu.
Finally, converge towards one place.
