Chapter 665: The Whole Country Mourns
Falling leaves drove straight into the carriage and galloped through the streets of Tianhe City, and the guards kneeling on the ground hurriedly dodged a way, and the elderly Xu Fuji was almost hit by the carriage and turned over on his back, but fortunately, the guard on his side took him, which saved him from blood splashing on the spot.
"Master, master, are you okay?" The guard looked at the carriage in the distance in shock, and asked Xu Funiansheng with his help.
Xu Fufu's waist ached faintly, but he shook his head.
The guards were even more curious, the dusty carriage had disappeared and disappeared around the corner of the street, and the guard asked suspiciously: "Master, the person sitting on the carriage is really the emperor, why don't you show up?"
"Is there anyone in the world who dares to pretend to be His Majesty?" Xu Fu glared at the guards angrily, Xu Fu was originally an official in the capital, he went to court every day, he had seen Cang Rinchen, and his voice was extremely clear, he could hear that the voice just now was indeed Cang Rinchen talking was not wrong.
Although he was originally an official in the capital, he was framed for corruption at that time, which was originally a dead end, but Cang Rinchen persistently believed in his corruption crime, which saved him from being relegated to Tianhe City as a assassin.
At that time, if it wasn't for Cang Linchen, maybe he would have died a long time ago, and any monarch would definitely not tolerate corruption, nor would he blindly trust a person.
But Cang Rinchen believed him, and now his heart is still full of gratitude to Cang Rinchen.
The carriage went all the way to the east gate of Tianhe City before stopping, and Cang Linchen was waiting, waiting for Xu Fu to select a hundred elite soldiers for him.
There are not many soldiers and horses, but it is enough to go to the desert, if you bring too many soldiers, it will lead to a stalemate with the desert, and it is inevitable that there will be some suspicion of oppression.
Bringing a hundred elite soldiers to escape in a difficult situation is much better, and it will not make the desert feel that they are leading troops to invade.
"Did you say that Concubine Yu was really in Ouyang Chen's hands?" Xia Yinhuan was still suspicious of this matter at this time, if Da Mo really wanted to join forces with Concubine Yu to raise troops, it should be that Concubine Yu fled when she heard the sound, instead of being kidnapped by Ouyang Chen!
"It's all here, and you can only know if you go to the desert to find out." Cang Rinchen couldn't be sure, the matter of Concubine Yu's abduction was too strange, but now Ouyang Chen was the only clue, he had to ask in person, Concubine Yu's safety was the first thing to worry about.
Xia Yinhuan stopped talking, just clasped her hands tightly together, and her heart became more and more irritable.
After waiting for about half an hour, a guard came to report: "Your Majesty, Weichen has selected a hundred elite soldiers to accompany you, and Your Majesty can review one or two if it is convenient."
The person who came was one of Xu Fu's subordinates, standing behind the carriage and said respectfully, with a hundred Tianhe City guards in armor behind him.
Because there was no war, there was no general stationed in Tianhe City, and now only Xu Fu is the only one you manage the army in Tianhe City.
But once there is a war, Xu Fu will not be able to command many soldiers at all, and will send generals to support at that time.
Cang Rinchen originally didn't have much hope for the soldiers of Tianhe City, because most of the soldiers would be lazy and inert for the reason that there would be less war and more comfort.
To his surprise, he lifted his hat and saw that there were heroic soldiers standing not far from him, all of them were heroic and burly, and they knew at a glance that they were brave and good at fighting.
The corners of his mouth can't help but bring a smile to you, innate pride, looking at the hundred soldiers in front of him, his voice is crisp and majestic: "Since you go to the desert with me, you must be ready to die at any time, if you haven't written the military order yet, you can leave, I won't force you."
He doesn't need people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, even if he stays around, it's just a scourge, he only needs warriors who are willing to die for Yasukuni and are willing to fight for Yasukuni.
"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death, and they will never give up!" The cadres and others all knelt down, and they had already told them when Xu Fu was selected, and they all wrote down military orders for this trip.
If you die on the battlefield, the rest of the people can transport the mound back to their hometown and let their souls rest in peace.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of their own greed for life and fear of death for three years, and the tens of millions of people in Yasukuni will suffer their wives and children.
"Okay, then I'll get out of the customs with me." Cang Linchen shouted, glanced at the many soldiers again, and entered the carriage with the cat's waist, frowning at the moment.
Xia Yinhuan could see that he was not as relaxed as he appeared, I am afraid that he was more anxious than anyone else, and more wavering than anyone else.
She lifted her hand, placed it on the back of his, and crossed it again. Firmly clasped his hand to try to give her a sense of security.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Cang Linchen raised his eyes and gave her a reassuring look, no matter how uneasy he was in his heart, he didn't want Xia Yinhuan to worry about him.
With a hundred elite soldiers, he walked out of the east gate of Tianhe City, the sun was like fire, and the scorching sun and light scorched the earth, although it was sunset, it was terrifyingly hot.
There is a saying in Yasukuni that there is a good saying that there is no distinction between spring and autumn in the Tianhe.
It is said that the weather of the desert, as long as you come to Tianhe City, it belongs to the territory of the desert, the temperature of the desert is the same as the old all year round, the time is cold like winter, the noon is hot if it is hot, and it is cold and frozen when it comes to the third watch.
Xia Yinhuan was wearing a light gauze skirt and had already prepared it, but she didn't feel very hot, she spread out the map and carefully checked it on the table, and said to Cang Linchen while looking: "The main city of the desert is Yanxia City, and it will take about half a day to arrive at our current speed."
"Hmm." Cang Linchen replied in a deep voice, remembered something, and suddenly said to Xia Yinhuan: "It's better for you to stay in Tianhe City, the trip to the desert is too dangerous."
"I don't want it, how can you leave me at this time after saying that life and death depend on each other?" Xia Yinhuan stubbornly refused to leave, he would rather live and die with Cang Linchen than live alone in the world.
Even if this trip is really to the threshold of Lord Yama, as long as Cang Rinchen does not flinch, she will never turn back!
Xia Yinhuan's answer was expected, she was always like this, but it was precisely because she was by her side that she could turn the danger into a disaster every time she encountered a crisis.
Cang Linchen let out a long breath and stopped talking about this topic, just quietly felt the bumps of the carriage, and closed his eyes against the wall of the carriage.
He needed to calm down now and think about what he should do if he arrived in the desert and had a conflict with Ouyang Chen.
He can't compete head-on with Ouyang Chen, after all, he is on Ouyang Chen's territory, just like Ouyang Chen was captured in Yasukuni at the beginning, even if he has a thousand abilities, he can't act rashly.
It's the same when he goes to the desert now, try to compromise when he can, it's best not to have a quarrel or fight with Ouyang Chen, which will do him all kinds of harm and no benefit.
Xia Yinhuan thought that he was asleep and didn't say much, leaned lightly on the carriage, and fell asleep shallowly.
Xia Yinhuan was awakened by the freezing alive, and woke up in a dream, and saw Cang Linchen holding a thick blanket to cover her.
"Is it already night?" Xia Yinhuan rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, the weather in this desert is always capricious, if she hadn't prepared a blanket, I'm afraid it would have been frozen into ice at this time.
"Hmm." Cang Linchen answered, covered her with a blanket, and then lifted the curtain to let her look out the window, only to see a bright moon in the vast night, round like a plate.
The moon of the fifteenth is sixteen round, and this year's moon is fifteen and sixteen.
I don't know if this is a good sign or a bad sign, Xia Yinhuan lowered her eyes, pulled half of the blanket and covered it on Cang Linchen's knees: "Don't patronize me, as if you are beaten with iron."
She wanted to say that it was the Invincible Iron King Kong, but when the words came to her lips, she thought that Cang Rinchen would ask what the Invincible Iron King Kong was, so she simply didn't say it.
Cang Rin was silent, and at this time, he suddenly heard the sound of falling leaves, trembling with surprise: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, you have already seen the gate of Yanxia City."
When Cang Linchen heard this, he looked through the gap in the curtain and saw that there was a fire flickering outside the desert for about half a mile, and it was the guards on the city tower patrolling.
Finally arrived in the desert, Cang Linchen's heart sank deeper, and anyone who faced the unknown would feel terrifying, even Cang Linchen was no exception.
The hundred elite soldiers he had brought with him were already so cold that they could walk with difficulty, and their steps were slow, and even the sound of the sand rubbing against the iron hooves of the horses was heavy.
After only half a mile of travel, they walked for half an hour, and when they reached the gate of Yanxia City, the fire above the tower was flourishing, and a column of soldiers came out of the city gate and blocked in front of them.
The soldier was nervous, took the scimitar in his hand, and scolded sharply: "Who is coming, what is the matter with visiting Yanxia City at night!"
The guards in the desert had to be nervous, seeing that they were dressed in the army, and they were also dressed in Yasukuni's attire, there had just been a big war with Yasukuni, and now it was the time of the desert emperor's funeral, of course, they should be cautious.
"Trouble report, long live the Yasukuni Lord is visiting." Falling leaves stood up and said tightly, it is impossible for them to hide their identities and sneak into the desert, Yanxia City is heavily guarded, and a mosquito that flies in will be detected, not to mention that they also have a column of troops.
This is what Cang Rinchen means, revealing his identity and entering the city directly, thinking that even if Ouyang Chen has bad intentions, he will let them enter Yanxia City.
After all, everyone in the world was watching, and there weren't many soldiers he brought, so Ouyang Chen probably didn't think he was a threat.
The soldiers on the tower looked at each other, and the leading soldier gave the side Hu Cong a look, and did not flinch or salute, and the Hu ran fast from under his feet, and disappeared above the city tower in a blink of an eye.
Cang Linchen was not worried, and waited quietly, but in half an hour, he heard the gate of Yanxia City open, and the voice of the guards above the city tower came from afar, without any emotion: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince welcomes the Long Live Lord into the palace."
Damo signed a peace agreement with Yasukuni, and ceded five cities to Yasukuni, which is equivalent to paying tribute to Yasukuni as the head of the court, and calling Cang Linchen a long-lived lord is also a kind of respect for him.
The group swaggered into Yanxia City, still moving slowly, after all, people who were used to staying in Yasukuni could not adapt to the temperature of the desert.
Half an hour passed to stop and go, and then he was led to the palace gate by the soldiers, but the guards guarding the palace gate did not allow Cang Linchen to bring troops into the palace, and stopped the carriage with a straight face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, Jing ** stays at the post station, and only Banzai Ye is allowed to enter the palace."
Cang Linchen understood what Ouyang Chen meant, Xia Yinhuan did look at him worriedly, and held his hand tightly: "If there is no army to protect us, what should Ouyang Chen do if he wants to be unfavorable to us?"
Cang Rinchen shook his head to signal that she didn't have to worry, and said in a calm voice: "I don't have this ability, he can't get into the tiger's mouth, and now he can only fight."
After that, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and instructed the soldiers who followed him: "Follow Ouyang Chen's wishes and stand by at the post station."
