Chapter 116: Arriving at Qiancheng

Ling Cang went all the way, on the way to Shangyang County while hurrying while healing, but it was also quite smooth, passing through mountains and rivers along the way, and encountering officers and soldiers set up cards,

I also saw many martial arts disciples searching for suspicious people among the people, and when Ling Cang first encountered officers and soldiers and martial arts disciples, he would choose to stay away and take a detour.

But after observing for a while, he found that there seemed to be no need for this, although the emperor showed the world, wanted traitors, blocked the main roads along the way, strictly investigated the pedestrians, and the streets and alleys were also plastered with bounty articles about the son of the winner.

Although the states and counties along the way were plastered with wanted notices for Ling Cang, there were no portraits and descriptions of the winner's son, because not many people in the world knew him Ling Cang.

So now when Ling Cang encounters suspicious people along the way, he will choose to swagger over, and the officers and soldiers will not find anything suspicious, and they will be released smoothly every time, because in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, the wanted criminals of the imperial court are like rats crossing the street, and the son of the winner must also be the kind of suspicious person who looks sneaky at a glance, and Ling Cang has a calm expression every time he passes the sentry post, and the light wind on his face will never associate him with the wanted criminals of the imperial court in the eyes of the officers and soldiers.

…………

About 10 days later, Ling Cang came to the land of Zhongzhou, which was already under the jurisdiction of the eastern capital of Luoyang, and the mountain road eventually led to ...... Qiancheng,

This city, like other states and counties along the way, blocked the city gate and checked the pedestrians, but the city is remote and far away from the main road, and few people pass through it on weekdays.

Compared with other states and counties, the West City Gate, which is still heavily guarded, looks very deserted, Ling Cang dismounted, and swaggered in the direction of the West Gate of Qiancheng, without the slightest suspicion.

As before, Ling Cang's calm passage did not arouse the slightest suspicion of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers defending the city saw Ling Cang, and did not make any moves, in the eyes of others, Ling Cang carried a sword and a horse, and the instrument was extraordinary, it must be the great disciple of the martial arts who entered the world to practice among the people,

Officers and soldiers are arrogant on weekdays, and there are many examples of states and counties like Anyecheng using the name of wanted criminals to make it difficult for pedestrians to pass by, but those are aimed at the poor people who have no power and powerless, but the officers and soldiers are still very polite when they see martial arts people.

The chief guard stepped forward, looked at Ling Cang and greeted politely, "I think the knight is a person in the martial arts, dare to ask the hero what he has to do in this place", the guard chief asked with a smile,

Qiancheng belongs to Shangyang County, there is no martial arts force nearby, and the terrain here is remote, far away from the main road, except for Buddhist disciples on weekdays, it is rare to see other martial arts people, so it is rare for sword cultivators like Ling Cang to appear in Qiancheng, and the reason why Shangyang County often sees Buddhist disciples is because the land of Zhongzhou is entrenched in one of the top Buddhist sects in the Central Plains............ Shaolin,

Shaolin is different from other martial arts factions, they neither participated in the martial arts alliance of King En, nor did they stand in line and support the position of the crown prince, Buddhism pays attention to the six roots of purity, and the four are empty, so the disciples of Buddhism are more indifferent to fame and fortune, not contaminated with red dust and secular disputes, and more importantly, since Ziwei the Great, Buddhism has been serving the emperor,

Ling Cang chuckled, thought for a moment, and then looked at the guard with a calm face and said, "The military master has good eyesight, he is indeed a person in the martial arts, he is practicing among the people on the order of the master, and he happened to pass by Qiancheng, I don't know, this is ......" Ling Cang said and deliberately pretended to have a puzzled expression, looked at the barricade at the door and asked puzzled

The officer replied, "I guess the knight has heard rumors about the winner's son in recent days."

Ling Cang nodded, "I heard a little",

The officer continued, "Zhenxi General Win Wuxian colluded with Xirong to plot a rebellion 16 years ago and was given death by the emperor, but he had a son who escaped, and the emperor wanted this person for 16 years without the slightest clue, I thought that this person had disappeared, but I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in Chang'an a few days ago, sneak into the prison and poison the current King of Han, the Son of Heaven was furious, and showed the world that the murderer was wanted, and we received an order from the top to block the city gate and investigate suspicious people", the officer patiently explained,

"So that's the case", Ling Cang pretended to be abrupt, and randomly looked at the officer and asked pretended to be puzzled, "But Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Qiancheng, can the son of Win Wuxian appear here", Ling Cang asked knowingly, and wanted to sigh from the officer, so as to judge the current trend of the imperial court,

The officer did not have the slightest suspicion about this, where could he have thought that at this moment, he was close to him was the murderer who poisoned King Han, a key criminal wanted by the imperial court for 16 years, he thought for a moment and looked at Ling Cang and replied truthfully

"The knights don't know, a few days ago near Zhashui, the imperial court sent several masters and hundreds of dynasty elites to round up the son of the winner, but I don't want the thief's means to be so powerful, even beheaded seven of the imperial court sent by the inner masters, but also slaughtered hundreds of dynasty elite soldiers with their own strength, the Son of Heaven was furious, and executed Anyecheng County Order in the court, and then sent one of the two forbidden army commanders General Qin to chase and kill Ling Cang, General Qin came to the order a few days ago, saying that the thief went to the direction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, so that Qiancheng, Shangyang and other places are ready to strictly investigate the passers-by, and now there are thousands of Yulin guards stationed in Shangyang County, all of which were sent by General Qin, and the son of this winner will definitely appear here".

The officer didn't know where he heard this false rumor, and looked at Ling Cang's serious face and said, that serious look, but he didn't know that the person standing in front of him was the person who witnessed the incident,

Ling Cang chuckled, hundreds of dynastic elites near the Jingshi were killed, such a major event should be known to everyone, but the officer thought that Ling Cang could not know about it, judging from the officer's performance, the imperial court should have blocked the news, and Ling Cang could understand, after all, it was not a glorious thing for the imperial court,

Ling Cang didn't care about this, what she really cared about was the news of the court's second way chasing and killing troops, according to the officer, the imperial court had thousands of Yulin guards at every turn this time, it seems that this time it was a bloody investment, Ling Cang thought about it, and after a while, he looked at the officer and asked

"What about General Qin, didn't he come to Shangyang County himself", Ling Cang asked tentatively, what he was really afraid of was the commander of the two forbidden armies sent by the imperial court this time, he had some impressions of these two people, when he was in Chang'an before, it was these two people who saved him from Li Lie, these two were absolute powerhouses of 8-layer cultivation, and they had joined forces to severely damage Li Lie, who was a god of means, Ling Cang remembered that King Enzun called the martial arts master General Lin, so to speak, General Qin was the sword cultivator who wounded Li Lie at that time, but no matter what, With Ling Cang's current strength, it is absolutely certain to die when he meets them.

The officer replied, "General Qin didn't rush to Shangyang County with the Imperial Forest Army, he should have followed the mountain road you came to pursue the winner's son", the officer was puzzled, he couldn't figure out why the chivalrous man in front of him cared about General Qin's movements, but he didn't suspect anything, because in his opinion, the winner's son would never talk to him so lightly.

Ling Cang thought in his heart, and he also had his own considerations in his heart, it seems that he must be careful next, General Qin's strength is extraordinary, and it is by no means comparable to Han Gonggong and his ilk, and more importantly, General Qin knows him, if he wants to fool him around like before, it is almost like sending him to death,

He suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, but he didn't show it, and it was imperative that he rush to the Tiger Prison as soon as possible.

Thinking that Ling Cang didn't stay in place for long, he hugged the officer and said, "Thank you for the chief's questioning, I will go to the city first if I have important things to do."

The officer also replied with a salute of "chivalrous politeness", and randomly turned his head to look at the soldier behind him and ordered, "Let go", the soldier opened the barricade and let Ling Cang pass, and the officer did not doubt from beginning to end that this young man who had a good conversation with him was a notorious criminal in the imperial court.

Ling Cang entered the city smoothly, the sun was already waning, he first found an inn, ready to rest in Qiancheng today, and then set off for Shangyang County tomorrow, these days in a hurry, and encountered many officers and soldiers along the way, Ling Cang's injured body was already tired,

There is also the horse that was taken away from the scattered soldiers of Anye City, because there is little grass and water on the mountain road, it is also exhausted at the moment, drooping its head and constantly humming, where is there still a little bit of war horse, running day and night, Ling Cang is afraid that this war horse will not be able to carry it and collapse on the way, but there is an interception in front of the chasing soldiers, forcing Ling Cang to quickly whip the horse and gallop all the way, when he is about to reach Qiancheng, the horse stands motionless in place, no matter how Ling Cang whips and calls, he refuses to move half a step forward, Ling Cang has no choice, had to dismount and lead the animal forward, but anyway, finally arrived at the city,

Ling Cang asked the shopkeeper to take the war horse to the stable to settle down, took out the silver and asked Xiao Er to prepare good forage and water, and then he sat in the inn and ordered a table of good wine and food.

Ling Cang temporarily distracted thoughts, and ate and drank fiercely, this was the most enjoyable time he had eaten and drunk in so long, this feeling was just like when he had just entered the WTO, but now, everything has changed, he is no longer the decent disciple who adheres to the righteous path and represents the Huashan faction to enter the WTO to support the royal family, but the most wanted felons who poisoned the current prince, and everyone in the world is punished.

Ling Cang swallowed heavily, experiencing twists and turns, thousands of thoughts can only be buried in the wine now, drinking alone, Ling Cang drank a whole jar of wine, until the whole person was a little dizzy before returning to the guest room to rest, this night he slept very deeply, and slept very soundly, but the figure that haunted him but had to avoid it appeared in the dream mirror............ dawn
