Chapter 57: King Xiangli arrives
The useless beasts naturally refer to the four high-headed horses pulling carts, and the so-called unloading and killing donkeys is like this.
However, Liu Fang was still frightened when he heard Wang Ye's pun words.
His own capable messenger pulled four horses down to slaughter, after all, the body of a daughter, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the unhappiness of the prince, how many people dare to disobey at this time?
Liu Fang hurriedly got up and followed the prince into the lobby of Suzhou Mansion.
King Xiangli stood under the hall, did not choose to sit in the center, and looked up at the four big characters hanging high in the mirror of the Suzhou Mansion, leaving Liu Fang with a generous back.
Liu Fang knelt on the ground with a thud and knocked his head three times.
Bang bang bang!
In order to ensure that the prince could hear the sound of his kowtow, Liu Fang used all his strength to breastfeed.
So much so that after the three heads were knocked over, when Liu Fang raised his head again, there was already a bruise on the door of his head, and there were even hidden bloodstains.
"Order." King Xiangli said lightly, and there were no ups and downs in his tone.
Liu Fang leaned down and didn't dare to raise his head.
"Look up." King Xiangli said again.
"Minister, don't dare!" Liu Fang said in a trembling voice.
"Huh?"
It was still that frightening word, where did Liu Fang still have the psychology of luck at this time, and hurriedly raised his head, but found that the prince had already faced him at some point.
At this time, King Xiangli looked at Liu Fang with slit-like eyes, like a poisonous snake devouring people.
It's like looking at a dead man.
Liu Fang wanted to lower his head, but the prince said to look up, how dare he disobey.
With facial features on his bloated face, why do he want to look at those inconspicuous eyes?
Liu Fang began to observe the prince's nose, which could calm his mood a little.
The so-called degree second is like a year, but that's it.
I don't know how long it was, it seemed like it was just a moment or an hour.
Just when Liu Fang couldn't help but kowtow again.
King Xiangli finally moved.
He took out a bright scroll from his bosom, which was the Holy Decree.
According to the laws of the imperial court, how can there be rules for raising heads to receive orders?
However, Liu Fang only gave up those worthless rules in an instant.
However, the king of Xiangli did not read the meaning of the holy decree, but once again took out a fire fold from his bosom.
Then, under Liu Fang's gaze, the holy decree...
It's burned!
Seeing the Holy Purpose turn into ashes in front of him, Lord Liu Fang was devastated.
But I heard the voice of the prince come again.
At this time, Liu Fang had the heart to hear the voice of the prince, which was actually not very rich and a little slender.
If you listen with your eyes closed, it's hard to relate to the mountain-like figure in front of you.
"Go into the mountains within two days to encircle and suppress the mulberry snake, and I will do this."
Liu Fang bowed his head again and kowtowed: "The minister receives the order." ”
The decree has been burned, so naturally there is no decree to be received, and it doesn't really matter what is written on the decree.
However, Liu Fang still has to accept the order, and it is naturally not His Majesty's will to receive it, but what difference does it make?
At this time, Liu Fang had fully understood the reason why King Xiangli came to Suzhou Mansion this time.
I'm not happy with you.
If you can't use it much, you will kill it.
If you can't do it, then I'll teach you.
The emperor is not here, I have the final say.
From the time King Xiangli arrived in Suzhou Mansion, until now he has spoken no more than twenty words, and even those two ums have to be added.
However, it is enough.
Liu Fang sent the prince to the door of the palace, and watched the huge body of the prince slowly walk onto the new carriage, wanting to cry without tears.
The car didn't move, and a big fan-like hand stretched out from the window and beckoned outside.
A guard stepped forward to obey the order, and then clenched his fists and said to obey the order.
The car started and drove slowly towards the residence arranged for the prince in advance.
The guards trotted in front of Liu Fang and said, "Lord Liu, the prince has a life, and Liao Xunli, the deputy general of the City Patrol Division, will see you immediately." ”
"Minister, take the order."
Even if it was just a small guard beside the prince, how could Liu Fang dare to slack off.
Respectfully sent off the guards again, and Liu Fang immediately sent someone to the Yamen of the City Patrol Division to inform Zhao Xuance and Liao Xunli.
Inform Liao Xunli that he was naturally going to meet the prince, and inform Zhao Xuance that he would naturally go to Suzhou Mansion to see him as soon as possible.
The troops marched into the mountains in two days, and the time was too tight.
Zhao Xuance didn't dare to delay after receiving the news, and immediately set off to the lobby of Suzhou Mansion and saw Liu Fang with a haggard face.
Liu Fang's forehead was bruised at this time, and the blood stains had already scabbed, and he looked really embarrassed.
Although Zhao Xuance didn't know what to do, he had a bad premonition when he heard that the prince did not return to his residence but came directly to the Suzhou Mansion.
"Take care, sir." Zhao Xuance said.
Liu Fang followed Zhao Xuance's line of sight, and remembered that he had been thinking about sending troops to Yuemengshan just now, but he had lost his sense of proportion, and he didn't even have time to wipe the blood on his forehead, which showed how panicked he was in his heart.
Liu Fang smiled bitterly, took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead, but he took a breath of cold air in pain.
He waved his hand and said, "It's good if you can keep your head, where can you take care of this." ”
"What happened?" Zhao Xuance asked.
Liu Fang told Zhao Xuance everything that had just happened, and he didn't even hide the matter of the prince burning the holy decree.
"This ...... Privately destroying the holy decree and falsely preaching the holy will, aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you? Zhao Xuance still couldn't believe it.
"The whole world is not the king's land, and even the whole world belongs to people, do you think even if Your Majesty knows about this, what can you do except for a few verbal admonitions?" Liu Fang smiled bitterly at this time, but he didn't know whether he was laughing at Zhao Xuance's innocence, helplessness, or both.
Zhao Xuance knelt on one knee at this time, bowed his head and clenched his fists.
"...... are you" Suzhou Mansion Yin saw Zhao Xuance kneeling in front of the hall, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Liao Xunli was assassinated by gangsters yesterday night, and the body was still in the yamen of the city patrol division at this time, and the officials had just learned about this matter, please atone for your sins." Zhao Xuance said in a low voice.
Liu Fang looked at Zhao Xuance deeply for a long time.
Time seems to freeze here.
Liu Fang finally let out a long sigh and didn't say anything to blame.
"Those outsiders are so bold." Liu Fang said slowly, it can be regarded as a conclusion on this matter.
Zhao Xuance bowed his head and was silent.
"Issue more official documents for sea capture, announcing that the surrounding counties and counties at the city level will go all out to arrest these thieves." Liu Fang gave an order to Zhao Xuance, and he seemed to be much older for a while.
"Over there, I'll explain." Liu Fang then said.
"Master Xie." Zhao Xuance clenched his fists and said.
"Notify all the soldiers in the city to assemble before sunset, assemble at midnight tomorrow, drink and eat at midnight, set off at midnight, and must arrive at the Yuemengshan camp before noon, this matter is up to you." Liu Fang continued.
Zhao Xuance did not answer.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Fang saw that Zhao Xuance did not receive the order, and asked.
"The Mulberry Snake clan has opened their minds, and after the investigation of their subordinates, although there are incidents of hurting people, they are all for self-preservation, and there is no murder and murder, and the dead are all framed by Liao Xunli, just to force the Suzhou Mansion to encircle and suppress the Mulberry Snake, my lord..."
"Enough!" Liu Fang stopped Zhao Xuance's words.
Zhao Xuance raised his head suddenly, but saw Liu Fang's face angry, but his eyes were full of sadness.
"Don't mention these words again." Liu Fang softened his tone and said slowly.
"There are a few words, I said today, you know."
"The husband is not guilty, he is guilty, the king calls the minister to die, the minister has to die, it is bustling, and the profits come and go."
After Liu Fang finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
"There you go."
A trace of sadness flashed in Zhao Xuance's eyes, and he hugged his fists and said yes, and retreated.
Liu Fang was in the hall, expressionless, sitting upright for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
……
"That's it..."
Zhao Xuance, who hurried back to the Yamen of the City Patrol Division, informed Qi Zhen and the others of the situation he had just learned as quickly as possible.
"It's too dangerous in the city, we have to leave Suzhou immediately and rush to Yuemengshan to join Li Qiang and them."
Qi Zhen was not surprised by what happened in Suzhou Mansion, for Suzhou Mansion, Lord Qincha came here probably because the Suzhou Embroidery Contest and the time for the tribute of Yuemeng Silk were imminent.
However, from the perspective of completing the game, this is definitely a necessary response when the squad chooses this game mode.
Qi Zhen could even imagine that if he followed the system's thinking and assisted Suzhou Mansion to encircle and suppress the Mulberry Snake, then the Qincha who came might not be at the level of King Xiangli at all.
But since you have chosen this game mode, you must be prepared to deal with the system's moves.
It's just that Zhao Xuance can't leave.
Taking advantage of the stage when almost all the guards of Suzhou Mansion were about to have a major transfer, Qi Zhen and the three of them silently sneaked out of the city under Zhao Xuance's arrangement.
At the moment when they broke away from the guards of Suzhou Mansion, Qi Zhen and the three of them all had a faint light.
At the same time, the three of them looked at each other and found that the pain on their bodies had miraculously recovered.
Immediately after that, the sound of the system prompted in my ears.
"Congratulations on moving up to level 14."
"Congratulations on moving up to level 14."
"Congratulations on moving up to level 26."
Lin Xiao waved his arm a little excitedly and said, "Do you have so much experience?" I'll be upgraded to five levels. ”
Upgrading is naturally worth the joy, especially if you are healed from your injuries.
Qi Zhen thought about it and found that Lin Xiao had risen to five levels, but he had only risen to four levels.
It seems that the experience required to move up the level is not the same, and should be cumulative upwards.
And this kind of upgrade mechanism that accumulates experience upwards will produce an inevitable situation in the context of this game of unified action of the squad.
That is, once the squad has survived in the game for a long time, the level of the squad members will be highly similar.
At this time, there was no point in thinking about this matter, Qi Zhen shook his head, got rid of distracting thoughts, and began to think about the difficulties that the team would face next.
The three of them recovered from their injuries and moved faster.
Soon after, they vaguely saw the guards guarding in front of the official road of Yuemeng Mountain.
The three of them did not choose to take the official road directly into Yuemeng Mountain, but still chose to burrow into the woods.
This is also one of the important reasons for Yu Liang to stay in Suzhou together.
In order to avoid suspicion from the government, Qi Zhen explained to Li Qiang that he must not choose to hide in the camp where the soldiers are stationed, and of course, he should not want to live with those mulberry snakes.
Therefore, Li Qiang's hiding place depends on Yu Liang, a hunter, to find it according to the clues.
Yu Liang once again showed his confidence as a hunter at this time.
Through the faint footprints in the trees and the scratching marks on the bark, he continued to move forward with Qi Zhen and the others.
After walking for half an hour, Lin Xiao spoke at this moment.
"Didn't you say you believe in professionalism, how do I feel like we're going round and round?"
Yu Liang's forehead was already slightly sweaty at this time.
He turned his head and said impatiently to Lin Xiao to shut up.
It's really going in circles, but the traces in the forest are not wrong, it's indeed this route.
Yu Liang was a little worried, but he still believed in his professionalism as a hunter.
Until another half an hour passed.
Although I can clearly feel that it is completely different from the road I just had, it seems that it is ......
"It's like we're going in a bigger circle." Qi Zhen finally spoke at this time.
Yu Liang stopped and turned his head to look at Qi Zhen, looking aggrieved.
