There are royalists among the people.

This royalist has nothing to do with the empress, and since the beginning of the year, there has been a faint news that the crown prince Zhou Ming is still alive. As for why people who have been dead for so many years are still alive, the folk explanations are more mysterious than the other, the most widely circulated crown prince let the immortals save him, and the most convincing thing is that the original crown prince did not die at all.

Even faintly in various places, Yang Hehou saved the life of the crown prince precisely because of the "tanuki for the prince", and gradually became estranged from the empress after the incident, so that he left the court for a considerable period of time.

Song Chuanbai: "? ”

And Li Cheng is where the crown prince has recently appeared.

After experiencing the battle of Puyang, Chen Tongsheng weighed the resurrection of the dead in his heart, and the possibility of exchanging the prince with Song Chuan's white civet cat was relatively large.

After all, in the eyes of the royalists, what matters now is the bloodline identity of the crown prince Zhou Mingze, and he may appear in the same situation as Du Shan and turn into a monster-like walking corpse. It was held in the hands of someone with a heart.

Now as Song Chuanbai's side, Chen Tongsheng should agree that Zhou Mingze is dead, and folklore, in the end, is just a rumor spreading, so it is a mystery.

"Really, someone believes in the emperor, and the crown prince is still alive?"

Song Chuanbai nodded disappreciatively: "It's a lot." ”

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Cheng to mess up.

Licheng was originally the fief of the prince of Jin, and the king of Jin was dead. During the period of Emperor Taishang, this person was named "one word comparable to the king", which means that he was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor during his lifetime, and he was proud. After the death of the king of Jin, his son was honest for only a few years, and then he began to lobby and gather manpower again, and two years ago, when the border war was tight, he colluded with the king of southern Xinjiang to raise the banner and support the new emperor.

Chen Tongsheng: "......"

Is this son really not afraid that the people who follow him are the empress's party, who follow him and wait to take the head?

"Which one, the new emperor?" Chen Tongsheng took a look: "The crown prince? ”

"Who else," Song Chuanbai said, "Even if he is unlucky, two years ago, there was a combination of drought and flood, and the canal flood during the construction period washed away a small half of the county, causing a lot of suffering along the coast, and the household department only released the disaster relief money once, and the Yushitai impeached eight officials according to this matter." There was a lot of in the court. The frontier guard's request for reinforcements came like snow, and His Majesty was impatient for a while, so he fell on the spot and pardoned a prisoner who was executed in prison. This person has a bad record, but he is a rare killer in a hundred years, and he has a grudge with the King of Jin for two generations, and he does not share the sky. His Majesty personally went to put him on death row and taught him to carry the heads of the prince and the king of southern Xinjiang back to see her. ”

This person is so famous that Chen Tongsheng has also heard of it.

His name is Feng Xiwen, and his name is about the same as the eight characters, which is not compatible with the warm eight poles, nor is it elegant. According to what Chen Tongsheng heard from his mouth, he was about nine feet tall with green fangs, three heads and six arms, wielding a fallen horse halberd in one hand and a Qiankun hammer in the other, and his voice was like a bell, "Wow, yes, yes!" "The one who rushed into the enemy line and killed a horse with one palm...... This kind of character.

"......" Song Chuanbai said, "What do you listen to all day long?" ”

Although famous generals and killers are brave on the battlefield, killing generals are always too aggressive.

Mass graves, those who were buried alive, slaughtering the city, this kind of notorious work, Feng Xiwen has never pulled it down. In his eyes, the enemy only lives and dies, and does not surrender.

Therefore, after the empress released the mad dog, Feng Xiwen took down the rebel's head without his trust, and slaughtered the city along the way.

Chen Tongsheng shuddered.

Song Chuanbai: "Huh? ”

"Li Cheng, too, slaughtered the city?"

"The others can be let go, but Li Cheng definitely can't." Song Chuanbai said: "The prince has been hiding in Licheng for more than half a year, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and there is a white light rushing out of Licheng at night, which is the image of the emperor." and insisted that the crown prince was in his hands, but on the day the city was broken, the crown prince could not be found, so Feng Xiwen directly sealed the city and did not let anyone escape. And now, the crown prince has reappeared in Licheng, which really makes His Majesty very relieved. ”

In other words, this news is actually the remnants of the crown prince who is not dead in the heart of the emperor, and the empress herself, plus the kings who participated in the rebellion of the prince of Jin and are still there.

Chen Tongsheng finally found the problem and said: "Whether the crown prince is alive or not, just look at the mausoleum ......"

If the empress really had this heart, she quietly opened the imperial tomb and knew it as soon as she saw the bones, why did she really make a reason that she didn't trust Song Chuanbai and sent Mi Tiansi's henchmen to go?

Could it be that this Zhou Ming is really alive?

Song Chuanbai then added: "Licheng is now a ruined city, what are you doing with the crown prince's daughter's daughter?" ”

This fact once again confirmed Chen Tongsheng's idea from the side.

People with a little brains would not have followed the prince to raise troops recklessly, not to mention that the prince was not as crowded as his father back then, otherwise he would not have to contact a king of southern Xinjiang. Although the king of Nanjiang has always had a good and bad relationship with the court, he is not stupid, he must have seen the weight of chips in the hands of the prince, so he will agree to give it a go.

That chip is likely to be the crown prince Zhou Mingze.

And Zhou Ming is gone, dead and alive, the ghost is not gone, and he can't see people, and he still appears in the abandoned city of Licheng, Chen Tongsheng thought about it, and only came up with one possibility:

That is, Zhou Ming is alive, but he can't see anyone at all.

Will he become the next Du Shan that Chen Tongsheng has seen?

——————

"Hoo ......"

Chen Tongsheng stopped on the hill and looked at the dead city not far away.

From such a distance, Chen Tongsheng could clearly see the blackened city wall after the fire, several big trees outside the city were burned to dry carbon, and the plaque at the gate of the city was only half left. Outside the city, a group of ragged homeless people sat against the mound, lifeless.

Song Chuanbai had a vision, only rode a horse, and asked a few people around him to change the clothes of ordinary people in advance. Otherwise, they are too conspicuous in this kind of place.

But no, if Li Cheng is still a ruined city now, then where did the people he sent out stop?

Song Chuanbai talked about the dust on his sleeves and told her happily: "There's no news, it's probably all dead." ”

Chen Tongsheng couldn't do anything else, she was quite talented in power struggle, she looked at Song Chuanbai and said, "They are not your people." ”

"Of course it's my people, it's just that people are here with me, and their hearts are not there."

Chen Tongsheng glanced back, and there were only five of them left, including Fan Rui. If Song Chuanbai deliberately used the people who set off before to explore the way, regardless of life or death, there were only five people who could come to investigate the matter of Li City in his original plan?!

Chen Tongsheng showed a puzzled look.

Song Chuanbai nodded peacefully.

And he deliberately stayed in Puyang, in addition to dealing with the black street and his father, to give Chen Tong growth insight, there is a bigger reason that he wants to test the safety of Licheng's trip, if the crisis is hidden, then by the way, the eyeliner that was planted by his side will be removed.

Chen Tongsheng said: "It is Your Majesty An ...... who went to explore the way."

"Shh," Song Chuanbai put an index finger against his lips, his sideburns flew obliquely, and the sneer in his eyes turned around, that action made him really like a fox, making Chen Tongsheng unconsciously shut up: "They are all people who have been working by my side for a long time, and they are also very anxious when they lose news." ”

Only henchmen who have followed Song Chuanbai for many years will be named to travel together without arousing suspicion. And in the same way, only the lying house that has gained his trust for many years, but once his identity is exposed, will he be able to send him out as a pioneer chess piece without mercy, Chen Tongsheng thought to himself, and did not realize that he had gradually tilted Song Chuanbai towards the judgment of "good fox".

She was also teased by foxes when she was hunting, but after all, people were teased twice in order to survive, but they saw that the little thing that racked their brains to escape was very pitiful, so they simply gave up.

Yang Hehou is jealous of His Majesty, and he is running around all day, and he is not allowed to ...... Chen Tongsheng turned his head and saw Song Chuanbai turn over and dismount, and run neatly in front of the down-and-out people at the city gate, and said: "Contemptible Song Lin......" and then continued to make up his life history without touching the ground, coaxing a circle of people to the front, very skillful and fluent.

“......”

Forget it, he is a fox and has become a spirit, and he can't be compared.

Chen Tongsheng walked over to listen, this time Song Chuanbai's identity became a young businessman who failed to do business in Kyoto, lost his old capital, and came to seek refuge with his relatives in Licheng.

One of the refugees picked his feet and said disbelievingly: "Licheng is already empty, you don't know about this?" ”

"It's empty, but isn't there anyone coming?" Song Chuanbai smiled: "I have a straight temperament, and I don't sell it to you, my relative is not a native of Licheng, but a businessman from other places, saying that there is something to do, so he specially called me here." ”

This is reasonable, there is no city guard in Licheng now, but in the end, the imperial court will send people down to start rebuilding, and people will also be relocated from other places. As the saying goes, there is no business, and businessmen with experience and ability can also smell the benefits from such a dead city-like place.

Song Chuanbai continued: "My cousin is different from me, his business is big, he doesn't expect to make money, but he has a newly married concubine who is from Licheng, so it is reasonable for him to contribute." It's just that, hiss...... In Uncle Cousin's letter, Li Cheng is not so lifeless? ”

"Hey, it's not the original person who was burned down, he has nowhere to go, and he has no money, so he has to go to someone else's house to steal, strong. As a result, there was a conflict, the stealing thing burned down people's houses in the middle of the night, good guys, this place is dry, and it burns a lot of ground, and those who still live in it don't want to live in it now! Only the sick and weak old man who couldn't walk was left," the refugee said, patting his thigh: "What kind of evil have we done!" If it weren't for the kind old man who built a tent here to do good, or died halfway, we would have to leave. ”

"Hey," said the other, who was older and disheveled, "that old man, is it your cousin?" ”
