Chapter 116: White Emperor City is in trouble
Along the way, Chu Mo and the others did not stop, in order to be able to enter the Qingzhou territory as soon as possible, everyone did not delay on the road at all.
A day later, the crowd arrived at the White Emperor City.
If you want to get to Qingzhou, White Emperor City is the only way. Passing through the White Emperor City, less than a hundred miles is outside the pass, and at their current speed, I am afraid that in less than two days, they will be able to leave the pass smoothly and go to the boundary of Qingzhou.
In the White Emperor City, everyone bought some supplies, originally Chu Mo proposed to rest overnight in the White Emperor City and continue to rush tomorrow morning, but Li Chengwen planned to go to Qingzhou earlier to investigate the matter clearly.
Helpless, everyone could only set off again.
However, the journey seemed to have gone too smoothly, and finally, in this White Emperor City, they encountered some minor troubles.
"Stop, stop! Dismount and get checked! ”
When Chu Mo and the others were riding horses and mixing in the flow of people out of the city, a military commander with a long knife hanging from his waist actually stepped forward to stop them.
Seeing this situation, one of Li Chengwen's henchmen immediately became furious, and shouted angrily: "Open your dog's eyes and take a good look at what this is!" ”
At this moment, this henchman is holding a gold medal in his hand, and this gold medal is the gold medal representing the identity of Li Chengwen's prince.
Who knew that after seeing the gold medal, this captain did not get out of the way as soon as possible, and even showed a disdainful expression on his face, saying: "This captain naturally knows that this gold medal is a royal thing, but now I am in a routine inspection, no matter who it is, if you want to leave the gate, you must be checked!" ”
"I thought that going to Qingzhou this time would be smooth sailing, but now it seems that I have thought too much about it."
After hearing Captain Wu's words, Chu Mo on horseback said expressionlessly.
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Wen Zijin on the side asked puzzled.
"Isn't it obvious? Since this Wu Chang has recognized that this is the royal token, I am afraid that someone else would have been frightened a long time ago, but this Wu Chang assassin is still so unsightly, how can a little Wu Chang have such courage, behind him there are probably people who are instructing him to stop us and want us to be ugly. ”
Chu Mo said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Chengwen's face couldn't help but become gloomy, then he turned over and dismounted, and slowly stepped forward, his cold eyes staring at the Wu Chang in front of him, and his body was filled with a cold killing intent.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Chengwen didn't want to say any more nonsense.
"It's just a routine, how many of you resist so much, could it be that there is a ghost in your heart?"
Wu Chang sneered, and the rest of the defenders stepped forward one after another when they saw this, surrounding Chu Mo and the others.
"Good! Very good! A little Wu Chang has no one in his eyes like this, or do you think that this White Emperor City is far away from the sky, and my royal family has no power in your eyes? ”
After Li Chengwen finished speaking, he didn't give the captain a chance to speak at all, and immediately turned to look at Gu Yehua behind him and asked, "Commander Gu, as the commander of the cavalry army, without His Majesty's will, what crime should you be punished for daring to stop the royal people?" ”
"Contempt of imperial power, capital offense!"
As Gu Yehua's voice fell, a sword light suddenly appeared, and before the Wu Chang could react, a blood mark appeared on his neck.
Wu Chang stared at his big eyes and slowly fell to the ground with a look of disbelief. The surrounding defenders looked at this scene in disbelief, and then looked at Li Chengwen, only to see that at this moment, a long sword had appeared in Li Chengwen's hand, and the person who had just shot it was Li Chengwen.
Grunt!
"Who dares to make a mistake in the White Emperor City!"
At this moment, a roaring voice suddenly came, waking everyone up in a daze.
Not far away, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a general and a dozen soldiers armed with spears were surrounding here.
This person is the guard of the White Emperor City, Wang Yan!
When Wang Yan came here with people and his eyes fell on the motionless Wu Chang on the ground, Wang Yan's face changed suddenly, and he didn't even look at Chu Mo and the others, and scolded: "In broad daylight, dare to commit murder in White Emperor City, and kill my White Emperor City guard Wu Chang, it's an unforgivable crime!" Come on, take them down to Ben General! ”
Hearing Wang Yan's words, more than a dozen soldiers pulled out their swords one after another, wanting to step forward to take down Chu Mo and the others.
"This Commander wants to see which of you dares! Wang Yan, open your dog's eyes to see who we are! ”
Gu Yehua shouted angrily.
Hearing this, Wang Yan's body trembled, for some reason, he always felt that this angry shout was so familiar, and as Wang Yan slowly turned his head and looked at a few people behind him, in the next second, his gaze immediately fixed on Gu Yehua's body.
"Valley...... Commander of the Valley! ”
Before coming to White Emperor City to serve as a guard, Wang Yan was a member of the Xiao Cavalry Army, and he naturally knew Gu Yehua.
"Since you still know this commander, this commander asks you, blocking the prince's path and speaking out, should this captain die?"
Hearing this, Wang Yan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Kill!" Defying the emperor's authority, according to the law, should be beheaded all over the house. I also ask the commander of the valley to forgive the sin, it was the last general who failed to manage his subordinates well, and let these unsightly things collide with your lords, and the last general will personally open the city gate to send him off! ”
It is not difficult to hear from Gu Yehua's words that one of these people must be a royal person. Although he has a good relationship with Wu Chang, he can only blame this Wu Chang for having no eyes.
With Wang Yan's personal send-off, Chu Mo and the others quickly walked out of the White Emperor City. A hundred kilometers ahead, it is Yaoguan, and after Yaoguan, it is their destination this time, Qingzhou.
On the quiet path, Chu Mo and the others rode slowly on horses.
"Yao Guan is ahead, be on guard. The journey was too peaceful, but it was so smooth that it gave me an ominous premonition. ”
Chu Mo looked around and said in a low voice to Li Chengwen on the side. Now, they are still in the pass, if they don't do it at this moment, once they get out of Yao Pass and want to do it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
Hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Chengwen nodded.
The golden wuxi falls, and night falls.
Seeing that Yao Guan was already close at hand, this time Li Chengwen was not in a hurry, and everyone found an open area to stay.
The bonfire, which danced in the breeze, was reflected on the cheeks of the people, and the faces of the people were reflected red.
The silence around the forest was terrifying, except for the sound of cicadas chirping in everyone's ears.
This was originally a beautiful night, but Chu Mo and the others knew that this night might not be as peaceful as before......
