Chapter 517: Since You Can't Sit, Don't Sit
What's going on?
Who's going to explain?
Li Jia and Zhou Yuanzheng slowly withdrew from the battle circle, looking at the people in the scuffle with a questioning expression.
They don't seem to have anyone in the same group with whom, and they fight whomever they meet, and they fight in a mess, and there is no rules.
The martial arts of these people are not low, so no one took advantage of the fights.
To be honest, there is no chance of winning if the two of them fight these people alone.
Their previous strategy was to stall for time, and as long as they delayed until dawn, they had a chance of survival.
Zhou Yuanzheng groped for the purse tied around his waist, thinking in his heart that it was because of Xiao Haitang's words, so they turned evil into good fortune?
They just watched from the sidelines, and they all looked drowsy, but they still couldn't fight.
Until after daybreak, all of them were wounded and lay on the ground, but there were also strong men who knelt on one knee with their swords in their hands.
Li Jia came to the man with the sword and asked, "Who sent you?" ”
When the man heard this, he looked at him with a confused expression, obviously not knowing what had happened.
All he remembered was that he had fought bravely and killed the enemy all night, and all the enemies had been annihilated by him.
He remembered that he was alone, and that his brothers were wiped out.
"Who is your leader?"
"Lu Jin."
"Where is Lu Jin from?"
"Lu Guo, the old steroid."
After the Lu family heard this, they directly drew their swords and killed him.
"The old steroid of Lu Guo." Zhou Yuanzheng muttered softly when he heard this.
He had forgotten many things, but he hadn't forgotten the scene where Zhong Li brought him out of the house.
He already had a grudge against King Lu, and the old revenge had not been avenged, and now a new feud has been added.
He guessed before that someone wanted to sabotage Chen Chu's marriage and wanted to sabotage the exchanges between the two countries.
Dismantle them, and the next step is provocation, right?
Chen Guo has just been founded for less than a year, and they can't sit still?
Hehe, since you can't sit still, then don't sit.
There was a lot of blood on the carriage, and the two abandoned the carriage and walked back to the town, and they were not afraid that the two men would not go to the official at this time.
So many people have died here, and it will soon be discovered.
When they arrived in the town, they saw that there were many people dressed in black in the town, and they were anxiously looking for people everywhere.
The eyes of the two of them have changed, could it be that there is still someone in ambush in the town?
Thinking of this, they hid in an alley, but they didn't expect that there were also two men in black in the alley.
Li Jia hurriedly protected Zhou Yuanzheng behind him, and the two of them knelt down with a thud and said, "Childe, Master Li, we can be regarded as looking for you." ”
Li Jia took a look, isn't this Shang Huanyin under Zhong Li?
He hurriedly said, "Lord Shang? ”
"Exactly down there." Shang Huanyin said.
"You guys?" Li Jia wanted to ask, but Shang Huanyin said, "Lord Zhong asked us to protect Gongzi." ”
As he spoke, he recounted the events of last night.
They were staring at it in different shifts, but last night the man went to the thatched house, and when he came back or changed shifts, he didn't hear anyone inside, so he had the courage to open the door to see, and there was really no one inside.
That's when they all went out to find someone.
As he spoke, he asked the people around him to quickly gather the brothers back.
Now that the people on both sides have already touched each other, there is no need to hide and tuck.
Zhou Yuan made a decision and said: "Since the other party is prepared, the way back must be more dangerous."
In this way, Li Jia, you drive the carriage as usual, and I will take the first step. ”
"Childe." Li Jia was very worried.
Zhou Yuanzheng couldn't be ignored, and Shang Huanyin said: "I think what Gongzi said is extremely true. ”
So, Zhou Yuanzheng and one of Shang Huanyin's men changed clothes, Shang Huanyin and Zhou Yuanzheng rode first, and Li Jia and the person who pretended to be Zhou Yuanzheng still hurried according to the original plan.
After discussing it, Zhou Yuanzheng and Shang Huanyin immediately set off.
After they walked for half an hour, Li Jia and the others began to set off.
Along the way, they hurried non-stop, and they returned to Shangjing safely all the way.
Ten days later, Li Jia and the others returned, all with injuries on their bodies.
This journey can be regarded as nine deaths, and they were assassinated all the way back.
After they came back, they naturally wanted to report the assassination on the road to Zhou Yuanzheng.
They encountered a lot of assassinations along the way, especially in the territory of the Chu State, almost every step of the way had to encounter a wave of assassinations, but when they entered the Chen State, there were a lot fewer assassinations.
said that it was less, but it was only a little less than that of Chu.
It's been a very difficult journey.
Zhou Yuanzheng asked him to go back and have a good rest, and turned his head and asked Zhong Li and them to invite in.
He didn't hide the assassination from them when he came back, and after Li Jia came back to report, they discussed it together, and he first asked everyone what they thought?
Have you ever guessed who is behind this?
"Whoever benefits the most, who is the most suspicious." Zhong Li: They all thought the same as Zhou Yuanzheng.
Businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, let alone this kind of life-threatening thing?
Without huge benefits, who would take the risk?
Therefore, Qi, Lu, Xue, Yan, Song and other countries are all suspicious.
Once the Chu and Chen kingdoms successfully marryed, then these two powerful states would pose a threat to the other countries.
Zhou Yuanzheng said: "One of the assassins said that he was from the Lu country. ”
Zhong Li said: "Lu is suspicious, but it doesn't mean that it has not joined forces with other countries. ”
Zhou Yuanzheng nodded and said, "That's true, whether it's Lu Guo...... or not"
He didn't say the follow-up words, but Zhong Li heard it.
Regardless of whether it is Lu Guo's handiwork this time, they and Lu Guo still have accounts to settle.
The current monarch of the State of Lu killed the monarch and usurped the throne and killed Zhou Yuanzheng's parents, and it is impossible not to repay this blood debt.
Zhong Li said: "At present, our focus should be on the wedding, and when the king comes back, they will secretly do something, I am afraid that the county lord will be her." ”
Zhou Yuanzheng frowned and said, "You must protect the safety of the county lord." ”
So, they discussed the wedding together.
The people behind it want to sabotage the marriage between the two countries, so this problem has to be guarded against.
Although, she was born with blessings, but she must not be careless.
They must negotiate a foolproof strategy.
As for the rest, I'll talk about that later.
As soon as people get busy, time flies very quickly.
Zhou Yuanzheng attaches great importance to the wedding, and everything must be personally inquired about, from the bedding, hibiscus tent, peanuts and red dates pressed on the bed, all of which must be seen in person.
Even the red double happiness cut out by the palace maids had to be checked out in person.
He didn't help prepare the wedding dress on Xiao Begonia's side, but he had to look at the changed clothes one by one, and he had to personally ask how many gold threads and how many silver threads were used for the begonia flowers embroidered on the clothes.
So meticulous that everyone has to be careful in what they do.
lest he do something wrong, or do something that is not what he wants.
