Chapter 194: Zhaoyuan Tragedy

"You can't say that." The crown prince obviously had a different opinion, "If it weren't for your careful heart, the matter of King Kang's farewell village reported by Dengzhou Mansion back then would not have been discovered." Moreover, now that a large amount of stolen money in Penglai County has disappeared, King Kang's Courtyard was really as I guessed, and it was quietly let go. Also, when King Kang rose more than ten years ago, it coincided with the time when the north and south of Great Chu were at war, and the domestic troops were the most empty. ”

At this point, his face was already solemn: "My Great Chu Dynasty really still hides traitors from foreign countries. ”

Now it can be basically concluded that those forces that vainly try to pry the country of Great Chu are still active and plotting, and if they cannot be dug up by the roots, this cancer will definitely affect the stability and prosperity that Great Chu has won so hard.

Pei Shu lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup in his palm, his eyes fell into the shadow cast by the candle flame, and he was no longer visible: "What His Highness said is very true. King Kang suddenly raised an army back then, which should be the key to connecting everything. ”

The aura on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became extremely solemn at this moment.

"There's one more thing you've forgotten." He opened his lips and said, every word was said slowly: "Four years ago, in the Baoding Rebellion, some of the rebellious troops also flowed to Shandong. ”

There was silence in the carriage

No one spoke again, except for the sound of two breaths, echoing the sound of the wind and rain outside the window.

After a while, Pei Shu picked up the tea cup and drank it all.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be awakened by this action, raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled suddenly: "All the things in Shandong, this palace will carefully explain the father's affairs." ”

"Your Highness is wise. Again, please allow Weichen to stay in Shandong and thoroughly investigate this matter. Pei Shu nodded to the ground on one knee and said in a deep voice.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and waved his hand, and his voice was as warm as a spring breeze: "Get up." The little marquis doesn't have to ask for help, and my father wants us to stay in Shandong for a little longer. ”

Pei Shu still maintained a half-kneeling posture, with a little stubbornness in his voice: "When Penglai County is finished, Weichen still wants to stay in Shandong." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was silent for a while, and then sighed lightly and said, "That's it, this palace knows." Later, the palace will report to my father. ”

"Your Highness." Pei Shu bowed before sitting down again.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waved his hand, looking a little tired: "It is already troublesome to deal with the case of embezzlement of ink, and the resettlement of displaced people is the top priority. This palace may also have to stay for a few more days, and you don't have to thank you. ”

When Pei Shu heard this, his face became solemn: "Those homeless people really need to be resettled as soon as possible, Your Highness is smart and prepared for a rainy day." ”

"Don't come with this palace." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, his tone was no longer solemn, he poured a cup of tea for himself with a pot, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen San came to salute, and I told her to go back first." I heard that you broke the maze, or she made the first contribution. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Pei Shu said immediately, with a little smile on his face when he spoke, and began to tell about Chen Ying's deeds of "digging flowers and knowing the way".

The autumn rain is like silk, the night is thick like ink, and a little candlelight lit up in the car breaks through the rain and dark night of Devil's Crying Mountain, and interacts with the bonfire in the valley of the first line of sky, making this night quiet and peaceful......

In the early morning of the next day, Li Gong sent someone to report that He Tingzheng had already come over to say hello, so that everyone was ready to leave, and everyone was overjoyed.

It's finally time to leave this scary ghost place, even though the safety is now guaranteed, but after two nights in a row, they can't wash up happily, and the female dependents, including the Ni family, have reached the limit, and if they continue like this, they will really go crazy.

Because the carriage was ready-made, those things were also thrown and used during the two nights, and there were not many left, so it was not troublesome to clean up. Therefore, the convoy set off on time at the scheduled early hour, and left Devil's Crying Ridge under the escort of Pei Jiajun and a large number of guards.

To be able to return to the populated land, everyone is like an arrow, but the speed of the convoy is extremely slow, and even stayed at the Huangxian Post Station for nearly two hours, and when it finally arrives in Penglai County, it will be late.

Everyone said goodbye at the city gate, and Chen Ying noticed that the displaced people who had been crowded here had disappeared at this time, and they didn't know where they were placed.

In the next few days, Chen Ying and the others stayed at home, and could only hear some news from Chen Jun.

On the night of the incident, Chen Jun and Li Ke really didn't have any accidents, Li Heng left a lot of people in his hands, and with Pei Shu's new force, the situation that night was really thrilling.

In addition, the reason why the return convoy went so slowly and stayed in Huang County for a long time was originally to wait for news from Zhaoyuan.

As Chen Ying expected, there was indeed a little turmoil in Zhaoyuan County.

Just when they were trapped in the sky, there were also bandits in Zhaoyuan County who tried to get out of the city in the middle of the night.

These thieves were so bold that they broke through the county government, and the county commander escaped in time under the escort of more than ten Pei family soldiers, but his family members were unfortunately taken hostage. The bandits took hostages and forced the county commander to open the city gate, and beheaded the county commander's parents and a pair of children on the spot.

Fortunately, Pei Jiajun was brave and took advantage of the night to fight back, which broke up the bandits, but that night in Zhaoyuan County was still full of crises, and the desperate bandits killed people everywhere, and they were all killed until early in the morning.

It should be noted that at the time of the chaos in Zhaoyuan, the He family, the Li family and the Han family on the Penglai side were also attacked by several thieves repeatedly, fortunately Li Heng had the foresight to send a large number of family members out of the city in advance, and the rest of the He and Han families were all gathered in one place, and finally waited for the rescue of the Pei family.

In addition, Ma Laosi, who went to Zhaoyuan to deliver the letter, did not enter the city at all because he saw that the situation was not good, and rushed back to Penglai that night to meet Ma Laosi, who also infiltrated Penglai. It was precisely because of their timely delivery of the letter that Pei Shu would immediately bring his troops over.

The news from Chen Jun was intermittent and not comprehensive, at least he never mentioned the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Chen Ying guessed that in addition to her, Li Heng and a few officials should have gotten the news, and as for the others, they must not know anything about it.

Now, Chen Ying's breaking of the thirty iron horsemen has spread in Penglai County, and even the peddlers and pawns can tell one, two, three, and Ni and Li can't hide it if they want to. It was really that there were too many people who came to the scene that night, and there were dozens of servants from each family combined, and this person was so talkative that there was no way to seal it.

The impact of this incident on the two governments was huge, and within a few days, Chen Jun, Li Ke and even Li Gong each found a master who taught martial arts, and practiced martial arts every day. Although they didn't say it explicitly, the kind of momentum that "can't lose to my sister (cousin)" is obvious at a glance.
