Chapter 49: Coming to Chang'an Again
After this vicious fight, the Fan Fulou boat was seriously damaged, and the fracture at the bottom of the boat began to seep into the river, and it was impossible to continue to move forward, so it had to dock in advance.
After everyone landed on the shore, they were still shocked, talking about the assassination just now, and they were even more afraid when they learned that it was led by the Chaohua League.
"It's so happy, it's so happy, since the 'Battle of Wolf Mountain' between my Terran Alliance and the Demon Race the year before last, I haven't fought so happily for a long time. ”
Some people in the mission were worried and frightened, but there were also people who were still unsatisfied, such as Shi Dangguan, the general of Liang Guoda, who talked about the battle just now, with an endless aftertaste.
"This time, we were able to successfully repel the killers of the Chaohua Alliance, thanks to Mr. Xiao Chen, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
The Fan Mansion worshipper who had fought with the leader of the Chaohua Alliance was much calmer.
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Taifu's froze and trapped those twenty killers, this assassination would have been unpredictable. Shi Dangguan hugged his fist at Jiang Zhong and said: "Taifu's ghost and god methods, Lao Shi admires." ”
Jiang Zhong smiled and said: "The reason why the Chaohua Alliance was able to win a big victory this time is mainly the result of the cooperation of all of us, as for the suppression and killing of those twenty killers, it is a fluke in the next, and it is all thanks to the work of this Anlu Canal." ”
Yang Jianming continued: "The bottom of the water is the best place to hide, but it is also the easiest place to be trapped, but in this early autumn and August, Chen Gongzi actually formed three feet of thick ice, not to mention that the Chaohua League was unexpected, we also think it is incredible, this battle is won, Chen Gongzi is the first to play, when no one has any objections." ”
"I'm the first to agree!"
The worshipper in the Fan Mansion also nodded.
Everyone talked for a while, and Liang Xuanlin asked, "So who is the target of Chaohuameng's assassination this time?"
Qin Baiyao, a scholar, said: "The old minister thinks that it is either His Royal Highness or Second Young Master Fan. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Yang Jianming said: "The two leaders, a code name assassin, and twenty first-grade assassins, looking at the entire continent, those who can afford this price and dare to do this, except for the royal families of various countries, there are a few left. ”
Qin Baiyao looked at Jiang Zhong and asked, "I don't know what Taifu thinks?"
Jiang Zhong said: "The assassination of Second Young Master Fan is for money, and the assassination of His Royal Highness is for power." However, as Brother Yang said, there are very few forces in the rivers and lakes that have such motives and techniques, so I am inclined to think that the target of this assassination is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Liang Xuanlin said: "Taifu said that assassinating me is for power, this is ......" Speaking of this, Liang Xuanlin suddenly thought of something, and suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Zhong glanced at Qin Baiyao, and the scholar said, "I think it should be related to the rumors of that Emperor Star." ”
Jiang Zhong nodded and said softly, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning." After thinking about it, he glanced at Liang Xuanlin and Fan Baotong respectively, and said, "Each of you two writes a letter and sends it back to Liang Guo, and reports the assassination to Old Lady Fan and His Majesty." ”
Qin Baiyao hurriedly asked: "Taifu means ......"
Jiang Zhong stretched out his hand to stop it, turned his head and asked Liang Xuanlin, "What does Your Highness think the purpose of this letter is?"
Liang Xuanlin pondered for a moment and said, "Please ask my father to send someone to guard?"
"Your Majesty has sent General Shi over, who else will you send? ”
Fan Baotong smiled at this time, nodded to himself, and said, "Teacher, I have an idea." ”
"Well, you can tell me. ”
"Telling grandpa about this is to let him counterattack the Korean Flower Alliance on the entire continent. ”
Liang Xuanlin hurriedly said: "I also thought of this, informed my father of this assassination, and asked him to order the cleansing of the Chaohua Alliance forces in the Liang Kingdom." ”
Jiang Zhong said: "What you both said is not wrong, you might as well remember that revenge is in line with the way of a saint." ”
When Prince Xuanlin and Fan Baotong heard this, they both nodded, but Qin Baiyao's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Jiang Zhong.
Jiang Zhong said again: "In addition, it is to remind the Fan Mansion and His Majesty King Liang that they must thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind this assassination, and if it is really a state act, then they must be prepared for war." ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Zhong smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's just a precautionary guess." ”
About two hours later, the motorcade that had been waiting for the Liang delegation in Heshan Bay finally arrived, and everyone got into the car while shouting bitterly, Liang Xuanlin had been worried because Jiang Zhong mentioned that there might be a war, and after getting in the car, he was busy asking Jiang Zhong: "Please tell the palace in detail about the war, this matter is a big matter, and the palace must return this possibility to my father in more detail." ”
Jiang Zhong said: "After the theory of the emperor star has been widely spread, Your Highness, you and Chen Jiexing, the prince of Chen State, have become the target of public criticism, this Ruliu continent, there are not a few young heroes with lofty ambitions and great talents, they are all pretentious, how can they allow others to respond to that emperor star, so they would rather kill by mistake than let go, regardless of whether Your Highness you are the future emperor of the world." ”
"What Taifu means is that if this assassination fails, they may start a war, invade my Liang country, and take my life?"
"If Your Highness is really the true Son of Heaven, how can they sit back and watch the Liang Kingdom slowly become stronger under the governance of His Highness, of course, they will take advantage of the fact that the Liang State is still weak and be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”
Liang Xuanlin gasped when he heard this, and asked, "What is the best plan for Taifu?"
Jiang Zhong was silent, and after a while, he said: "It's hard to say what will happen in the future, for the sake of today, it may be necessary for His Highness to suffer some grievances at the jade cake night banquet." ”
......
The next few days are all smooth sailing, August 13, the Liang delegation arrived safely in Chang'an, although Liang is a small country, but after the opening of the Anlu Canal, Liang and Jiang have frequent business and trade exchanges, people-to-people exchanges are increasingly close, the relationship is different from other countries, so Emperor Jiang specially sent the second prince Jiang Yulu and the general Xiang Chaohai to come to meet.
Outside Chang'an City, after the host and guest saluted, Jiang Yulu reprimanded the monstrous retrograde of the Chaohua League with an angry face: "This assassination is not only a sinister conspiracy against Liang Guo and Prince Xuanlin, but also a provocation to my Jiang State. ”
Liang Xuanlin said: "Xuanlin is grateful to His Majesty Emperor Jiang, there is the second prince Lao." ”
Jiang Yulu smiled and said sideways: "Your Majesty, just in case, specially asked General Xiang and Major General Xiang to come together to greet Prince Xuanlin. ”
Liang Xuanlin saluted Xiang Chaohai, and Xiang Chaohai returned the salute with a fist.
Jiang Yulu said again: "I heard that the star genius also came to Chang'an with Prince Xuanlin this time, I don't know who is in the field?"
Liang Xuanlin turned sideways, looked at Jiang Zhong, and introduced Jiang Yulu: "This is Chen Renzhong, a star genius, and he is also the master of this palace. ”
Jiang Yulu's eyes lit up, and he owed a slight debt to Jiang Zhong, and said: "I have admired the name of my son for a long time, and when I saw it today, I really had an extraordinary demeanor." ”
Jiang Zhong sneered in his heart: "It seems that the quality of this second brother Corporal Lixian has not changed at all, but fortunately, his appearance and temperament have changed greatly, and he didn't recognize himself." Immediately flattered and said: "The second prince has won such an award, why should the foreign minister be decent?"
Xiang Chaohai suddenly said: "I heard that the assassination on the third day of the eighth month, thanks to Gongzi's literary spirit and great skills, he was able to repel that Chaohua Alliance, I don't know if this matter is serious?"
Jiang Zhong looked at Xiang Chaohai, Yu Guang glanced at Xiang Shaofei, and naturally thought of his childhood friend Xiang Qi, but he didn't know if he could recognize himself now. Shook his head with a smile, and said: "The ancient book says that the three of them become tigers, and they don't deceive me, and the defeat of the Huameng of the Dynasty ten days ago was because of the results achieved by Fan Fuda and my Liang Guoda General Shi Dangguan who injured the enemy's leader, and what I did here was just icing on the cake." ”
Xiang Chaohai didn't seem to trust the little boy in front of him to say that his "literary spirit was frozen" and "his literary spirit was flying sword", so he nodded and asked, "Is General Shi Dangguan also here?"
Liang Xuanlin said: "After General Shi sent me to Chang'an, he has returned to Liang State, and asked me to say hello to General Xiang before leaving." ”
Xiang Chaohai said with a smile: "I haven't seen the battle of Wolf Mountain for two years. ”
After greeting for a while, Jiang Yulu said: "Prince Xuanlin, let me enter the city." ”
