Chapter Twenty-Six: Speculation in the Heart
Tang Yun inquired about the location of the Baishan County King, but it was actually not difficult to find.
The king of Baishan County was one of the few powerful princes when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, and he had heavy troops in his hands. originally planned to be crowned prince, but the king of Baishan County was worried that his power would be too great and arouse the emperor's suspicion, so he refused the title, and explained that his title of king of Baishan County would never be given to his son.
In other words, there will only be one king of Baishan County in the end.
His prestige is extremely strong both in the court and in the opposition. Although the king of Baishan County is not there all the year round, there are still some servants in this palace who take care of it at ordinary times, which represents the face of a palace, and it is also the property of the king of Baishan County.
Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin saw this Baishan County King very smoothly, and at this time, the Baishan County King was polishing his sword.
He squatted on a stake and held a long greatsword in his hand. It's not like the blades of the Central Plains, it's like the knights' swords of some countries in the Western Regions.
Tang Yun noticed that there were still a few gems inlaid on the hilt of this big sword, and he was sure that this should be a trophy of the King of Baishan County, and it could be seen that the old prince was very fond of this sword, and there was a layer of well-protected oil on the sword body.
Tang Yun stepped forward and said respectfully: "Old prince, Tang Yun, the chief of the demon hunting officer, has come to ask the old prince some things." ”
Lu Ansi, the king of Baishan County, didn't look up, but just kept wiping the sword.
Suddenly, the long sword slammed, as if it trembled slightly, emitting bursts of cold light.
"Whatever you want, just say it."
Tang Yun asked: "The Northern Wilderness said that it was a surrender, I'm afraid no one will believe it, Xia Guan wants to know, why did you come all the way to tell the news in person, you can clearly send someone to the imperial court to say it." ”
Xiao Qianqin looked at Tang Yun with disgust, and asked with her eyes why she didn't ask directly why Lu Ansi left so early last night.
Lu Ansi sneered: "What is this king doing, using your little child to make noise here?" ”
Tang Yun said in a deep voice: "You are lying. ”
Clang!
The sword in Lu Ansi's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and he stared at Tang Yun with cold eyes: "Then tell me why this king came to this capital." ”
Tang Yun said: "If I guessed correctly, the old prince was in Beizhen back then, but the person who said it himself was in the city. Your whole life has been poured into the border gates, I don't believe that a small deception in the Northern Wilderness can allow you to return to the capital in person. Unless ......"
Tang Yun stared at Lu Ansi's eyes and said word by word: "Your military power has been hollowed out!" You couldn't mobilize the soldiers and horses of Beizhen at all, so you ran back to the capital. ”
"Presumptuous!"
Lu Ansi suddenly waved the giant sword in his hand, Tang Yun suddenly dodged to the side, and the giant sword fell heavily to the ground, smashing a crack.
Xiao Qianqin exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly said, "Old prince, please calm your anger!" Brother Tang, what are you talking about? ”
Lu Ansi's eyes were red and he said: "Although this king has not been to the capital for a long time, it is not something that a child like you can insult." ”
Seeing Lu Ansi's reaction, Tang Yun became more and more sure of his conjecture.
In fact, all this is what he speculated on the basis of a series of circumstances. This time it was just a trick to deceive the king of Baishan County, but I didn't expect this king of Baishan County to react so much.
The more weak the heart, the more annoyed and embarrassed they will be after being exposed.
Lu Ansi brandished his giant sword and said in a cold voice, "Do you know what the consequences of what you just said?" ”
"Xia Guan is well aware of the consequences. But the matter of Beizhen has nothing to do with Xiaguan, and what Xiaguan is most worried about is the safety of Princess Jinyang. ”
Tang Yun was also-for-tat, and he was not overwhelmed by the momentum of the King of Baishan County at all: "I always feel that the struggle between powers is if a little girl is brought in. Win or lose, it's despicable and shameless. ”
Lu Ansi grinned: "Okay, let's put on the sin of this king first." Okay, when you arrive in the capital, the king will naturally follow the rules of the capital. Tomorrow morning, the king will tell His Majesty everything that has happened here. ”
Before Xiao Qianqin could speak, Lu Ansi suddenly waved his hand and shouted angrily: "Send off!" ”
There was already a group of burly men waiting behind him, these people were Lu Ansi's personal soldiers, even if they didn't have any blades on their bodies, they could feel the murderous aura wherever they stood there.
Tang Yun said: "Old prince, we will meet again." ”
After that, Tang Yun took Xiao Qianqin and left the Baishan County Palace.
As soon as she went out, Xiao Qianqin looked at Tang Yun with disgust: "Brother Tang, you are too reckless, you don't know the temper of the old prince, fortunately, this is the capital, if you are in the army, you will do it." ”
Tang Yun smiled: "It's okay, he has already given me the answer." ”
Xiao Qianqin asked suspiciously: "Didn't we ask nothing?" Why did he leave the feast in a hurry? ”
Tang Yun said: "According to my understanding of him, he will not leave Beizhen until he dies, unless something can be serious enough for him to go to the capital to solve it." I just said a situation, and now it seems that it is probably eighty percent. ”
Xiao Qianqin suddenly covered her mouth in surprise: "No, the old prince has commanded the army for many years, and he has long had a high reputation in the army, who can take away his military power." ”
Tang Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
When he was in Mobei, he was naturally very familiar with this king of Baishan County.
The three pillars of Mobei are now running to the capital in a hurry. Tang Yun estimated that the general should have started.
Tang Yun had been under the command of the general for a long time, and he knew very well that his general was obviously a hero.
It is difficult for the people in the capital to see the suffering outside. If you look at the map, the Western Regions, the Fan Kingdom, and the Northern Wilderness have all begun to launch an offensive against the Great Zhou.
This is a troubled time, and Luo Jingyao, the general of Mobei who has been forbearing, has also begun to do it.
Tang Yun felt that he was thinking a little far, and besides, he couldn't do anything, the task at the moment was to find Princess Jinyang quickly.
At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Tang Yun said to Xiao Qianqin: "The door of the palace will be closed in a while, you go back early first, find out about Her Royal Highness the princess, and I will help you." ”
A relieved smile appeared on Xiao Qianqin's face, and she smiled and said, "Then please, Brother Tang." ”
Seeing off Xiao Qianqin, Tang Yun walked alone in the night road.
His calmness and composure are actually manifested in front of Xiao Qianqin's eyes.
Tang Yun felt a panic in his heart, he looked at the night sky, under the same night sky, there was a girl trapped in a place, with nowhere to go and nowhere to escape.
Under the night sky, in countless streets, there seemed to be ghosts whispering.
Tang Yun suddenly felt the hairs rise, he turned his head and saw a pair of eyes, staring at him.
