Chapter 11 Tricked
June is already early summer, the temperature in the southeast of Dongyue has risen faster than other places, the sun is shining high in the past two days, there is not a trace of wind in the air, and the people working outside often have a dry mouth.
Outside Nanhe City, a high-quality and low-key carriage ran rapidly on the wide official road, and the sweaty coachman waved his whip vigorously, trying to advance to the city at noon to avoid the hottest hour of the day.
"Drive~" The coachman's deep shouting accompanied by a crisp horsewhip resounded in the sky. When he wanted to swing the whip again and speed forward, the whip stopped in mid-air, and the words that he wanted to exhale were stopped, and his frightened eyes widened more and more, but when the carriage was about to collide with the person in front of him, the coachman was able to hold on to the horse rope and stopped the carriage urgently, because the momentum was too great, causing the horse to jump high in fright and let out a roar. However, the coachman was in no mood to appease the frightened horse, and before the carriage could come to a standstill, he threw down his whip and abandoned the cart and fled.
Ah~ah~ah~ God forbid, I don't want to die. The coachman prayed and cried in his heart, for he was speechless with fear, but his trembling legs did not forget to run hard. However, before he could run a hundred meters, the sharp arrow pierced the air and shot him in the heart from behind, and the coachman's footsteps stopped, and he looked down at the red that continued to overflow from his chest, and his body gradually could not support it and fell hard. Here, no one cared whether he lived or died, not even the man who shot the arrow, whose life was already low in their eyes.
At this time, there were forty black-clad masked men outside the carriage, and these masked men stood with swords in their hands, surrounding the carriage. The man in black stared murderously at the carriage in front of him, but no one dared to act rashly, because they got the news that the person in the carriage had only suffered a few flesh wounds after fighting with the Dongyue Imperial Forest Army for two hours, and Ma Hanzhong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, had been lying in bed for a month, and this person was good at cheating.
A group of people were murderous and nervously waited for about half a cup of tea, and there was no movement in the carriage, and it was quiet, right? The man in black seemed to realize that something was wrong, and the people around him looked at each other with question marks on their faces. Then Qi Qi looked at the person closest to the carriage, and motioned for him to approach the carriage to inspect, this person was under great pressure from everyone's staring, and despite his reluctance, he could only approach the carriage cautiously, and then held a sword in his right hand in front of him, and tried to lift the curtain with his left hand.
"Ah~kill!" The man in black lifted the curtain and swung his sword into the car, accompanied by a cry of death.
Huh? Empty?
The forty men in black looked at the empty carriage in confusion, and then looked at their companions who knew nothing like themselves, and finally they realized that they had been tricked!
"Withdraw!" As the voice came out, the man in black dispersed in an orderly manner. Although they can still maintain their formation at the moment, their hearts are broken, the news is wrong, they return empty-handed, and they will be punished when they go back!
The sun is scorching, under the vast mountain, the two figures of one red and one black are extremely eye-catching, the man in black stands with a sword in his hand and stands vigilantly around, and the man in red stands with a pair of black eyes looking at the temple halfway up the mountain.
"Master." The man in black reminded him that they seemed to have been standing here in the open for a long time. If it is seen, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Ah Yu, we've been away from Yicheng for a few years." The man in red understood Ah Yu's worries, but he didn't care.
"It's been four years." Since the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, he has left Yicheng and gone to Wuyuan with his master, and it has been four years now.
"It's been four years." The man in red sighed. "Coming back again, it's strange and familiar at the same time."
Ah Yu understands his sadness, but as a competent subordinate, he just wants to remind his master at a critical moment. "Master, if the one who knows that you returned to the city but didn't see him as soon as possible, I'm afraid you'll cause unnecessary trouble."
Heh~"This king arrived earlier than the scheduled time, and let his people pounce, it was enough for him to digest, if we appeared in the imperial city without a sound, I was afraid that he would be overly worried." ”
When Ah Yu heard this, he understood the other party's intentions. "Did you deliberately show up here to let that person know that you're back?"
"This is his territory after all, save him some face." The man in red turned around and walked up the mountain, "Let's go, the scenery of the vast mountain is as good as it was back then, let's enjoy it well to relieve the lovesickness for many years." ”
It seems that he is blindly worried, and since the master has his own plans, he has no choice but to enjoy the scenery with peace of mind.
It didn't take long for Qian Chengjue to receive news that his most popular royal brother was already in the vast mountain. Hearing what the spy said, the pen in Qian Chengjue's hand was broken, his eyes were covered with anger, and he knocked over the teacup on the table with his sleeves. Qian Chengyue's appearance in Cangmang Mountain at this moment means that the person he sent is in the air outside Nanhe City, he should have thought that the other party has been scheming since he was a child, and he lost this game. But what about that, he is the king of Dongyue, since Qian Chengyue has returned to Yicheng, he has his own way to deal with him!
The spy who was kneeling on the ground saw that the emperor was angry, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and tried his best to press his head as low as possible.
After Qian Chengjue calmed down his anger, he said to the little eunuch on the side: "Pass on my oracle, and order Prince Jing to welcome Prince Yue back to the dynasty outside the gate of Yicheng City, if Prince Yue does not appear, he will be waiting there until he receives Prince Yue in person." ”
"Chirp," the little eunuch took the spoken words and walked quickly towards King Jing's mansion.
"Go down too."
Hearing what the emperor said, the spy was finally relieved and left quickly.
"What!" Outside the palace, in King Jing's mansion, Qian Chengjing heard the spoken words from the little eunuch, and was very puzzled and blurted out.
"Lord Jing, let's take the order first." The little eunuch reminded.
"The minister takes the order." Qian Chengjing motioned to the housekeeper next to him to give the little eunuch some rewards. Then he asked, "I wonder if my father-in-law can tell me what happened." ”
The little eunuch accepted the silver taels given by the housekeeper with satisfaction, and kindly said: "Other slaves don't know much, but they only know that Lord Yue is already in the vast mountains at this moment. ”
People are already in the vast mountains? Could it be... Qian Chengjing seemed to understand Qian Chengjue's intentions, and said to the little eunuch: "Please also ask your father-in-law to tell the emperor, and the younger brother will definitely handle this matter well." ”
The little eunuch smiled flatteringly, with a flattering face. "Please rest assured."
When the eunuch who passed the decree left, Qian Chengjing instructed the housekeeper: "Butler, this king will personally welcome Prince Yue back to the court, and this matter will be handed over to you to do immediately." Everyone in the city knows that this matter must be done, but the news can't get out of Yicheng. Before the prince arrives at the city gate, no one else can know who the king is going to greet is. Do you understand? ”
The butler, who was in his forties, nodded hurriedly with his eyes shining. "The old slave understands, the old slave will do it."
An hour later, all the people in Yicheng knew that King Jing was going to personally greet an important visitor outside the city gate today, and the soldiers guarding the city posted a notice at the city gate, from now on, all the gates of Yicheng were only allowed to enter and not go out, so many people who originally planned to leave the city were stranded in the city gate.
Soon, a column of soldiers separated the crowd, and then divided into two sides, and divided a passage at the city gate, and then a soldier placed a chair at one end of the passage, and then the people saw King Jing in court clothes and a group of officials of all sizes coming in the direction of the city gate. A prince personally led a hundred officials to greet him, and the identity of this person must not be underestimated, and the onlookers speculated who this person was. Most people guessed that the person who came was the prince of another country, or someone with the status of the prince, otherwise the emperor would not have sent Prince Jing to come in person. Qian Chengjing came to the chair placed by the guard, he originally planned to sit down, but after thinking about it, he asked people to remove the chair and stand with Baiguan.
