Chapter 140: Avenge Your Father
"What? Chen Que is dead? Liu Yan looked at the visitor in shock, and paced uneasily, "You said he was killed by Liu Yu's people?" ”
"That's right, it is the killer sent by Liu Yu, although the lower official doesn't know what he wants to do, but the lower official thinks that His Royal Highness must be guarded against, as soon as Chen Que dies, the court situation is likely to change greatly.

Liu Zhengsheng's eyes flickered with Liu Yan who was walking, paused, and asked again, "Is Mr. not in the mansion today?" I happen to have something to ask him. ”
"He's gone, he's gone to see his mother." Liu Yan thought about it, but sat down, met Liu Zhengsheng's gaze, and asked, "As soon as Chen Que dies, who do you think will replace the head of the Punishment Temple?" ”
"What does Your Highness think?" Liu Zhengsheng saw how uneasy he was, and felt that he seemed to have an answer in his heart, so he asked tentatively.
Liu Yan straightened his back, bit his lip and spit out a person's name, "Chen Zhiming." ”
"It's really possible, if it weren't for Chen Zhiming's involvement in the case five years ago, I'm afraid that with his talent, he would have replaced his father in the position of the head of the Punishment Temple today." Liu Zhengsheng thought seriously, and then asked, "But...... Your Highness is so worried, is there something wrong with this person? ”
He ...... It's nothing, I'm just worried that Liu Yu will do something crazy again. Liu Yan waved his hand and sighed softly.
Liu Zhengsheng was silent when he heard this, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Your Highness, when will the gentleman come back?" ”
Liu Yan saw that he had repeatedly mentioned Chu Shenxia, although there was no emotion on his face, he always felt that Liu Zhengsheng had something important, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?" You say the same as I listen, although I can't relieve your doubts like he did, but multiple people have more power, isn't it? ”
"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask Mr., what can be seen in the letterhead, the time before King Qin's accident, somehow, he and Gongsun Taifu corresponded wildly. It's been confusing me for a long time. Liu Zhengsheng groaned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Presumably Shen Xia should also come back tomorrow, and then I will send someone to inform Lord Liu, okay?" Liu Yan paused for a moment and thought about it again. "At this time, the Sixing Temple must be in a mess, and I will send Lu Zhi to personally send Lord Liu back in a while, so as not to travel late at night and be suspicious."
"Your Highness is still thoughtful. Then thank Your Highness, and the lower official will retire first. When Liu Zhengsheng saw him off, he didn't stay long immediately, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and went out with Lu Zhi.
At this time, the curfew had passed, and the two of them walked on the remote path, trying to avoid the patrolling officers and soldiers, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Who would have thought that the soaring fire would come to you. The sound of clattering hooves was close to his ears, it was Chen Zhiming who came out late at night to look for his father's enemy, Chen Que was shocked, it was too late to run, and it was easy for him to escape by himself, but with Liu Zhengsheng, who had no force, he would definitely not be able to get out.
Thinking so, he asked Liu Zhengsheng to hide in the grass beside the path, and he deliberately made a movement to lure them away.
Lu Zhi deliberately slowed down. Let the one behind him only see a back, but he couldn't catch up, and after running for a quarter of an hour, Lu Zhi felt that Liu Zhengsheng had almost walked out of the trail. Only then was he ready to step up and leave the group of people behind him.
There was a sudden fire beside him, and an arrow with fire rushed past him, Lu Zhi didn't dare to turn around to look, but this time, the horse's footsteps behind him were much closer, and when he raised his feet and ran. It was too late to dodge the arrows behind him.
Lu Zhi's arm was pierced by a rocket, and the pain immediately spread out in his arm, and a burning smell hit, and he could only grit his teeth to extinguish the flames and continue to run forward.
Further on, it is the East Palace, but if he returns to the East Palace like this, it will inevitably put the East Palace in danger.
Just as he was hesitating, a black shadow suddenly jumped in front of him, pulled himself without saying anything, and jumped towards the East Palace quickly, not going through the palace gate, but jumping into the East Palace from outside the city wall.
"Thank you, Miss Wang, for saving me." Lu Zhi didn't forget to thank him at this time, but Ruoyu didn't have the time to listen to him thank him, so he quickly pulled out the arrow in his hand, poured the wound medicine, and said quickly: "Hurry back to your room, no matter what happens, don't come out." ”
Chen Zhiming led people to chase them all the way to the East Palace along the bloodstains, and the group stopped not far from the East Palace, and the people on the side hesitated a little and said: "My lord, this is the East Palace, will the thief be sent by the East Palace?" ”
Chen Zhiming pondered for a moment and said: "No, who would be so stupid to lead the enemy to their own territory, if they can't keep it, someone wants to blame the East Palace." ”
"So what do we do?"
"Check it out."
Before Chen Zhiming approached, Liu Yan had already taken someone to wait at the palace gate, which added a lot of doubts to his East Palace, could it be that this person really came out of the East Palace?
"What's the matter with you bringing someone to my East Palace late at night?" Liu Yan asked coldly.
Chen Zhiming did not dismount and salute, met Liu Yan's gaze, and said very unceremoniously: "I chased the thief all the way here, and the thief disappeared, I wonder if the thief ran to the East Palace?" ”
Liu Yan avoided his gaze a little unnaturally, not because of a weak heart, but because the person in front of him was the first to call him a traitor and ask everyone to alienate him after the Shen Yu case.
Thinking of the past, Liu Yan was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking that he was now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince after all, he couldn't help but meet his gaze again, and asked in a deep voice: "You don't say anything about breaking into the East Palace at night, you can't do half a salute when you see me, so bold!" ”
"I just won't salute a traitor like you, what can you do to me?" Chen Zhiming raised his chin without any fear.
Liu Yan clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but some people couldn't control it anymore, Ruoyu stepped forward one by one, and beat Chen Zhiming off the horse with a whip in his hand.
watched him fall to the ground with a cold eye, rolled a few more times, and when he stopped, when he didn't get up, the horsewhip in Ruoyu's hand waved again, and he fell to the ground with a "poof".
Ruoyu swept his eyes coldly over the people behind him, and said coldly: "This is the East Palace, this is His Royal Highness the Prince, if you don't salute, you still insult His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of everyone, if you tell the emperor, you will be able to cure a big crime!" ”
Chen Zhiming finally got up with the support of others, stared at Liu Yan with burning eyes, and finally said helplessly: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince!" Can you let us go in and have a look? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care about the safety of the East Palace, I was very afraid that the thief would run away because of this. ”
"Ridiculous, I have three thousand guards in the East Palace, can't I still guard an East Palace? Not to mention putting a person in, even if it's a dog, I'll know it as soon as I put it in. Liu Yan scolded angrily, and didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
"My lord, what shall we do?"
"What else can I do? Get back! ”
Chen Zhiming clenched his teeth and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but such a bright moonlight was mostly covered by the hateful dark clouds, which was really hateful.
"The moonlight tonight is not very good, otherwise with those stars, you will be amazed that there is such a beautiful scenery in the world." Jing Min lowered his head and smiled.
The beauty of the world? He had already learned it when he was in the desert, and that was the most beautiful starry sky in the world, as if it could suck all people's emotions away.
"On this Kyushu continent, I'm afraid that the only person who can be called the leader of the alliance is Wang Quanming, the leader of the Jiangcheng Alliance, right?" Chu Shenxia suddenly spoke, breaking the beautiful scenery in front of Jing Yan.
Jing Wei stabilized his uneasy mood and said calmly: "He is the leader of the Jiangcheng Alliance, so he should naturally be called the leader of the alliance." ”
"What about Grandpa? Why do they call him the Alliance? Chu Shenxia said slowly.
Jing Huan's eyes that looked up at Yeyue shook violently, for fear of being discovered by Chu Shenxia, and he lowered his head and said, "Did you hear it wrong, old man......"
"Jing Yan, it's all this time, is it interesting to still tell these vulgar lies? Even if you can hide it, for how long? Chu Shenxia interrupted him in a cold voice.
"But didn't I say that? Don't ask me, if you really want to know, ask the old man. Jing Yan's expression was quite calm, but his face couldn't be whiter anymore, and the uneasiness in his heart was obvious.
"I'm now imprisoned in the mountains by my grandfather, not to mention the loss of internal strength, and my legs and feet are not convenient, even if I escape from the mountain, I will be arrested immediately, what are you afraid of? Besides, even if you don't say it today, I'll do my best to get you to say it tomorrow. Chu Shenxia straightened his legs as he spoke, looking at it with great pity.
Jing Yan sighed heavily, got up and said, "Shen Xia, don't force me anymore, I won't say it." ”
"Actually, I've already guessed, but I just want to ask you for verification." Chu Shenxia followed suit, followed his gaze to look at the invisible darkness in the distance, and continued: "He is the leader of the Jiangcheng Alliance during the Jin Dynasty, isn't he?" ”
There have been two alliance leaders in Jiangcheng, Chu Shenxia doesn't guess in the direction of the Jin Dynasty, where can he guess?
Jing Min didn't nod or shake his head, as if he hadn't heard what he said, thinking of what Liu Yu said to himself in the pavilion yesterday, Jing Yu's heart couldn't help but boil.
"Jing Yan?" Chu Shenxia saw that he was distracted, stretched out his hand and pushed, seeing that he came back to his senses, and said, "Grandpa will do whatever it takes to take revenge, even his grandson, tell me the truth, is your grandfather forcing you to do things for Liu Yu?" ”
These words really reached Jing Yan's heart, and he said in a trance: "The old man did this, in the final analysis, it was not for the woman a few decades ago, if it weren't for her, how could the Jiangcheng built by the old man with all his life's work be destroyed?" How did the Li family end up where they are today? ”
"Who's that woman?" Chu Shenxia asked cautiously,
Jing Yan turned his face sideways to look at Chu Shenxia and said, "Isn't it Queen Yao?" ”
Facing Chu Shenxia's deep gaze, Jing Min suddenly reacted, he seemed to have said something that should not be said, no matter how Chu Shenxia tempted him later, he resolutely did not say a word.
