Chapter 776: Thousands of troops are forced to go together
On the third day, Li Chengfeng and the others, who had finished repairing, set off again, and he said goodbye to Su Yuehan and Xiaozhuzi, but when he saw that there were only him and Zhao Feiyue, as well as Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Your Highness won't go with us?" Li Chengfeng was extremely surprised.
Zhao Feiyue shook her head and said, "The third brother said that he has to deal with government affairs here, and he will be able to go back in a few days." ”
Stupid people will take it seriously when they hear it, but only smart people can taste it.
Li Chengfeng was silent for a while, let out a long sigh, and said, "Prince...... What a gentleman too!"
Li Chengfeng knew very well that at this time, he had actually gotten on the prince's ship, and he stepped forward to save the prince, and he had been deeply branded as a prince, and would be regarded by the world as a figure of the prince's family.
The prince should take advantage of the friendship formed in this war to win him over, but the prince didn't, he either didn't look down on Li Chengfeng's strength, or he didn't want him to get too close to him.
Judging from Li Chengfeng's observation of the prince these days, the prince is a benevolent gentleman, although he is high, but he does not have a high frame and snobbery, even if it is a humble life in the soil, he can deign to bend down, careful not to trample on and hurt their lives and self-esteem, not to mention that Li Chengfeng fought repeatedly, not only saved the prince's life several times, but also killed the two demons in a row.
Judging from this kind of performance, as long as you have a little brain, you will definitely not turn a blind eye.
But the prince didn't climb up the pole, obviously he didn't want Li Chengfeng to get too close to him, and he didn't stop Zhao Feiyue from getting too close to him.
Even, the prince did not come to see him off.
This intention is already obvious, the prince doesn't want Li Chengfeng to have too much to do with him, or rather, he doesn't want Li Chengfeng to be involved in this cruel battle for succession, and he also doesn't want Zhao Feiyue to be involved.
Li Chengfeng compared his heart to his heart and asked himself, if he was in the position of the crown prince, he would definitely pull Zhao Feiyue and himself into the water by any means and tie them to his chariot, even if he couldn't use them for himself, he would definitely not be used by others.
But the prince didn't, he didn't even give an explanation to warn them, so he let them go easily.
This is even more commendable for a prince who is in a power struggle and feels pressure.
Li Chengfeng turned his head and took a deep look at Taiyang City, but saw a man on horseback chased out of Taiyang City, and he could see from a distance that he was wearing a second-grade official robe, which was obviously Ning Tongyi, who had been stationed in the city in the past few days.
Ning Tongyi rushed towards Li Chengfeng and the others, and before he got close, he said loudly: "Your Highness, Chengfeng Zhenren, please stay!"
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue turned their horses' heads to watch Ning Tongyi galloping over, and Han Tianxing on the side muttered in a low voice: "I just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not give nothing!"
But they saw Ning Tongyi rushing over, holding a scroll in his hand, and Ning Tongyi said: "Your Highness is busy with government affairs and can't come to see it off, so for some reason I entrusted the old man to send this painting to Chengfeng Zhenren." ”
Li Chengfeng was also very afraid of what gold, silver and jewelry the prince would send, because the impression and image left by the prince was too good, and he also began to sincerely hope that the prince could become the emperor in the future, and it was a blessing for the people in the world to have such a benevolent emperor as the emperor.
But if he sent gold, silver and jewelry, it would destroy the good impression in Li Chengfeng's mind.
But when Li Chengfeng took the scroll with both hands and opened it, he saw four strong and powerful characters written on it: Haoran righteousness!
Li Chengfeng doesn't know calligraphy very well, but just by looking at this word, he can feel the determination and fortitude of these four words, rushing to his face!
Li Chengfeng carefully put away the letter, nodded to Ning Tongyi, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the gift!"
After that, Li Chengfeng arched his hand towards Ning Tongyi and said, "Farewell!"
After speaking, Li Chengfeng turned around and beckoned to Su Yuehan and Xiaozhuzi on the city wall, and then took Zhao Feiyue, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing to ride away, leaving Ning Tongyi in place, his face suddenly gloomy.
Ning Tongyi stared angrily at Li Chengfeng's back and left, he returned to the mansion where the prince temporarily lived, and after seeing the prince who was handling government affairs, he sat next to him with a sullen snort.
Zhao Hanqing reviewed the folds while saying without raising his head: "They're gone?"
Ning Tongyi snorted, which was regarded as an answer, and then he said angrily: "Your Highness, you just let him go?" He is a rising star of the Lingshan Sect, he won the first place in the double list of the assessment battle at the beginning, and he is a genius who is not born! If we win him over, the Lingshan Sect can become our ......."
Zhao Hanqing took the dragon and snake's review and writing, and said with a smile: "The friendship of a gentleman is as light as water! He reported that he was a lonely countryman, and he should be treated as a countryman!"
Ning Tongyi opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade again, but found that there was nothing to say, and if he continued to talk, he would become a bad person, which would greatly reduce points for the upright prince.
Ning Tongyi let out a long sigh in his heart and got up to leave.
After he left, an official in the side courtyard dressed in a third-grade official robe greeted him, obviously familiar with him, also an official of the prince's line, he looked at Ning Tongyi expectantly.
Ning Tongyi sighed and shook his head, and the official let out a long sigh: "Your Highness is good at everything, but he is too benevolent, and the literati are too popular! But now it's worth the battle for succession, such a benevolent and naïve character, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss in the future!"
Ning Tongyi couldn't help nodding, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, there will always be some dirty things to be done in the future, and those who are ministers should share their worries as the lord!"
The official was stunned for a moment, and then nodded seriously: "It should be like this!"
......
Li Chengfeng said goodbye to Taiyang City, the place where he fought his first bloody battle after coming down the mountain, where he became famous in a fight, and he really felt the cruel battle in the cultivation world.
This was a bloody battle involving tens of thousands of lives, and it happened in the hinterland of Daqi, and the news spread, naturally shaking the government and the opposition.
Before they arrived in Shenjing, the news had already spread.
Although the horses under the crotch of the three people are not thousands of horses, they are also extraordinary, and after galloping for four days, they galloped out for more than 2,000 miles, and they have come to the vicinity of Shenjing.
"There are still a hundred miles ahead of Shenjing!" Zhao Feiyue pointed to a majestic pass in the distance, and said, "The front is Tongjing Pass!"
Li Chengfeng looked at it and saw from a distance that this pass stood in the canyon of two mountains, and the city wall lay across the gap in the canyon, like a high tower embedded in the two mountains.
On the mountain of the two high mountains, there are towering arrow towers and plank roads excavated and built everywhere, and the soldiers who are patrolling can be seen in the distance, and what is more eye-catching is that there are two stone statues standing in front of the mountain, these two stone statues are as high as a thousand meters, almost the same height as the mountain, one is the Taizu Emperor who founded the country, and the other is the Taizong Emperor who opened the territory.
But at this time, what attracted the attention of Li Chengfeng and others was not these two majestic stone statues, but a group of people and horses under the Tongjing Pass.
This group of men and horses were fully armed, heavily armoured, holding bows and crossbows, staring at them fiercely, and the first person rode a horse and galloped, and the voice came from afar: "In front of the old demon who broke the thundercloud and the hero Li Chengfeng and the great Qiyun and His Royal Highness the princess?"
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue glanced at each other, and Li Chengfeng stepped forward and said loudly: "Exactly!"
This person flew over, but it was a general with heavy armor, he bowed slightly towards Zhao Feiyue, and said: "Humble and heavy armor, it is inconvenient to salute, I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"
Zhao Feiyue bowed slightly, and the general bowed his hand to Li Chengfeng and said, "The four princes, please meet with the real person in Chengfeng, and please move!"
Li Chengfeng's heart suddenly tightened, he glanced at Zhao Feiyue, and secretly said in his heart: It's here!
The other side actually used the army to invite people, is this an invitation? This is clearly a threat!
If you refuse, will thousands of troops trample over?
If you agree, does it mean that you are on the thief ship of the Four Princes?
What to do? To go or not to go?
