On the same day of the sun and the moon, each stated his duties, and said that the news of the death of the king of Chu reached the Beijing Division, and the government and the opposition were shocked for a while, causing an uproar.

Some people were angry and regretful when they heard the news, while some people were secretly happy and applauded, because Changgong Longcheng died alone, which made countless people sleepless all night.

Especially the new emperor Li Lin, at this moment, he was even more unhappy and worried.

When he heard that his subordinates had reported that Changgong Longcheng had been assassinated on the way back to Jinling, he felt that it was a bolt from the blue and it was difficult to accept.

Bitter in his heart, thunder and anger, he finally tied Changgong Longcheng firmly to his side, and before he had time to lay out the next step, this chess piece fell like this, which will make him fall into absolute passivity.

And now I am afraid that everyone in the world suspects that the death of Changgong Longcheng was done by himself, after all, his heart to cut the domain has long been known to passers-by, so his previous efforts will all be nullified.

And the vassal kings will definitely take the opportunity to raise troops, and the world will inevitably be in chaos at that time, and the strength of the imperial court is not as good as that of the vassal kings of the towns, and now the people's hearts have been lost, and half of the battle has not yet begun.

"Lu Aiqing, what should we do now?"

Now Li Lin can be said to be dumb and has eaten Coptis chinensis, and there are words of suffering. So he summoned Lu Huaiyang overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Lu Huaiyang looked at the emperor and frowned, knowing that this was the time for him to exert his ability, he immediately suggested; "Your Majesty, it is imperative that the imperial court send people to Jinling as soon as possible to investigate the murderer of the king of Chu, so as to clear the court's suspicion of this matter. Then I ask Your Majesty to immediately issue an order to bury the King of Chu with the etiquette of a prince of the imperial family, and let his son Changgong Biannan inherit the throne of Chu to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jinling. ”

The emperor's deep palace lock courtyard was naturally not as fast as his news, so when he learned that Changgong Longcheng had been assassinated, he had already thought of a statement.

Sure enough, Lu Huaiyang is worthy of being the first capable minister in front of the emperor, and his ability can be seen in general.

Li Lin nodded deeply, naturally listened to what Lu Huaiyang said, and then asked again; "If the kings rebel in this way, how should we deal with it?"

Hearing the emperor ask him again, Lu Huaiyang thought for a while before replying; "The minister guessed that the death of the king of Chu must have been committed by one or more vassal kings, although the minister was not sure which one of them was, but he must have been planning for a long time, so once he rebelled, Your Majesty, we can only face the battle."

Obviously, even the scheming Lu Huaiyang can't find a second way for this matter at the moment.

There is only one war!

Li Lin knew that sooner or later there would be a battle between the imperial court and the kings, but he didn't want it to be now, because if the strength of the imperial court was only to clean up a town of vassal kings, it would be more than enough, but if several towns rebelled together, then the imperial court would have no chance of winning.

But now that the arrow is on the line, I have to send it, and I only hope that there will not be too many people who rebel.

That night, the emperor and Lu Huaiyang naturally discussed the strategy, and the troops were busy all night.

On this side of Jinling, after a night of heavy rain, the sky is fresh, and the weather can be regarded as a beautiful day.

It's just that Chang Gong Yao couldn't be happy, and at this moment he was talking to his brother Chang Gong Bian Nan in front of the gate of the Chu Palace.

"Brother, the family affairs will be left to you." Haruka Tonomiya said that he was going to investigate the truth about his father's assassination.

Hearing this, Changgong Bian Nan patted him on the shoulder and said; "You can go with confidence, I will personally interrogate those people one by one, and I will send you a message as soon as there is news, you must pay attention to safety."

It turned out that Changgong Bian Nan had arrested all kinds of spies and organizations that had been lurking in Jinling City all these years, and he firmly believed that his father's death would definitely have nothing to do with these people.

Changgong Yao nodded heavily, took a deep look at the Nuo Palace, and rode away.

And he went in the direction of Kyoto to investigate who killed his father?

Haruka Tsunemiya didn't go directly to Kyoto, but searched along the road to see if he could find some clues.

He didn't believe that anyone could do things without leaks.

However, he searched all along the road, and searched all suspicious places, even the body of the captain of the guard, but he still found no clues.

After buying a coffin and collecting the body of the captain of the guard, Chang Gong Yao found a pair of beggar grandsons and gave them a lot of money, asking them to send the captain of the guard back to Jinling and hand it over to the people of the Chu Palace.

The captain of the guard had lost his life to save his father and brother, and he couldn't let him be in the wilderness.

Then, I pursued it all the way.

When I walked to one place, the sky was gradually darkening, and there were a few families scattered two or three miles ahead.

Changgong Yao thought to himself, today, I have to spend the night here.

With that, he immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door of a house.

"Young man, do you want to spend the night?" It was an old woman who came out to open the door.

Chang Gong Yao nodded and said; "Mother-in-law, I am a past guest, I missed the accommodation today because I was in a hurry, and I want to spend one night at your house, I don't know if I can?"

Looking at Chang Gong Yao, who was leading the horse and dressed in black, the old woman frowned, and secretly thought in her heart; "You seem to be staying overnight, obviously you seem to have come to mourn your wife, no, you must not agree to him."

Seeing the hesitation on the old woman's face, Chang Gong Yao took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it over, "Mother-in-law, this is the cost of my stay today, I don't know if it's enough?" ”

When the old woman saw the white silver, she immediately laughed, "Guest officer, what are you doing, we peasant families, there are only some coarse tea and light food, as long as the guest officer does not dislike it." ”

With that, he moved the door out of the way.

"Come in!"

But having said that, the old woman still took the silver from Haruka Changmiya's hand,

After all, if you don't make money, you bastard.

Bringing in Changgong Yao, the old woman shouted into the inner room again, "Son, a guest has come." ”

After a while, I saw a young man coming out of the house, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, looking very ordinary, but the pair of mouse eyes were quite eye-catching.

The young man came out of the house with a grin, and said; "Mother, a guest is here, is it okay to eat meat today?"

The old woman also smiled and said; "Of course, you can help the guest lead the horse to the leash first, and then clean up your room and let the guest stay later."

Hearing that he was going to give up his room to someone else, the young man was immediately unhappy, and muttered; "Then I'll give up my room to the guests, where will I stay?"

Chang Gong Yao also saw that there were only two rooms in the old woman's house, and he was a little uneasy because he came to spend the night, so that the old woman's son had nowhere to sleep.

Just as Chang Gong Yao was considering whether to change his family, the old woman also saw Chang Gong Yao's hesitation, so she continued to say to her son; "We countrymen can't settle there, so tonight you are sleeping in the stable, giving the guests a good look at the horses."

When the old woman's son heard this, he didn't say anything more, and with an "oh" sound, he took Ma Suo from Changgong Yao's hand, led the horse and went to the stable.

Seeing this, Changgong Haruka wanted to say something, but the old woman on the side preemptively said; "The guest officer doesn't have to care, the people we are lowly people, not to mention in the stable, even in the wilderness, they can live."

Hearing this, Haruka Changgong didn't know what to say! Indeed, in this world, the living space and resources enjoyed by the poor are so large, so it has become their habit.

Others live to live, they live purely for the sake of living.

So he digressed and asked; "Mother-in-law, are you and Ling Lang the only ones in this house?"

Hearing this, the old woman on the side nodded, and her tone became a little sad, "Alas! My husband died in the second year of my marriage, leaving us orphans and widows to live in this world. And my son, when he was seven years old, had a serious illness that burned out his brain, and now he is nearly 30 years old and has not started a family. I don't know how the old woman will live a hundred years later. ”

As the old woman spoke, tears fell from her eyes, and she looked extremely sentimental.

Seeing this, Chang Gong Yao on the side sighed inwardly, "It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world!" ”

Thinking of his father, whose bones were not cold and who had been wronged, Chang Gong Yao sighed even more in his heart, and he decided to help the old woman.

So he comforted him; "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I still have some silver taels here, I'll give it to you later, as long as you save some words, it must be enough for you and Ling Lang to live in the future."

When the old woman heard that Chang Gong Yao wanted to give her all the money on her body, she hurriedly refused; "How can this make it, the silver taels just given by the guest officer are enough for us to live for a good period of time, how can we let the guest officer break the bank again, absolutely not."

Seeing her refusing like this, Changgong Haruka insisted even more on giving them the money,

Immediately he took out all the money in the baggage and forced it to the old woman.

The old woman insisted on not accepting it at first, but in the end, she couldn't stand Chang Gong Yao's forced send, so she reluctantly accepted it.

The old woman, mother and son, who had gained a lot of money that night, were naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly killed chickens and geese, and entertained Chang Gong Yao with good food and drink.

In fact, it is very important to avoid the worries of the old woman.

After eating and drinking, Chang Gong Yao also fell asleep peacefully, and at this moment he obviously had no guilt in his heart, after all, he gave the old woman and her son a lot of money, and it was natural to sleep in the room for one night.

It's just that not long after he fell asleep, he heard a break into the courtyard, and he could feel that the person was breathing very quickly, as if he was seriously injured.

He got up quietly, lifted the curtains, and saw that someone was about to pry the window in.

The two of them met and were shocked.

But in the next second, the figure of the person who came jumped into the house, and said in a hurried tone; "This brother Tai was chased and killed below, and I hope that Brother Tai will make it convenient for him to hide in Xia."

With the help of the light, Changgong Haruka saw clearly that this person was a man, covered in blood, with dozens of wounds on his body, his face was pale, and he was obviously so seriously injured that he couldn't be seriously injured anymore, no wonder his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

However, just as he was about to ask about the identity of this person, he only heard a "bang", the courtyard door was kicked open, and a group of black-clothed people broke in viciously.

Hearing the movement, the man covered in blood immediately panicked, looked at Changgong Yao like a help, and pleaded again; "Brother, please."

Hearing this, Chang Gong Yao frowned, but he still pointed to the bed behind him and motioned for him to sit on the bed, but this guy seemed to be mistaken, thanked Chang Gong Yao, and directly prostrate himself and hid under the bed case.

Seeing this, Changgong Yao was also speechless, but he didn't remind him, and let him hide under the bed.

As soon as the man hid, the man in black outside had already kicked in the door, and the man in the lead began to order his subordinates to search as if he hadn't seen Haruka Changgong.

However, just as the two subordinates were about to walk to the bedside, Changgong Haruka took the first step in front of them, frowning and saying; "Breaking into someone's house in the middle of the night without saying a word, don't you know that harassing the people is a felony?"

Seeing that Changgong Yao dared to intercept it, one of them said coldly; "Boy, get out of here, don't look for death."

"I think you're the ones who are looking for death." Chang Gong Yao snorted coldly, he was in a bad mood, these people provoked him, that is, the birthday star hanged himself, and he was afraid of a long life. didn't give the two of them a chance to talk, and exhaled with a slap, and directly flew the two out.

The two of them got up from the ground, first with a look of disbelief, and then with a furious face, they lifted the weapon in their hands and killed Changgong Yao.

Changgong Yao was naturally not polite, just one move, he slapped the two black-clothed people away again and threw them out of the door heavily,

Only this time he started harder, and the two men in black didn't get up.

The movement here naturally attracted other sunspots, and they all gathered around, and when they saw two of their subordinates lying motionless on the ground, and Changgong Haruka who was leaning against the door, the leading man in black stepped forward and asked; "Did you do it?"

Hearing this, Chang Gong Yao did not talk, but said; "The man you're looking for is inside, but I wonder why you're chasing him?"

The leading man in black sneered, "You can leave this question and ask him on the Huangquan Road." ”

As soon as he said that the sound fell, a group of subordinates rushed up and killed Changgong Yao, and he also knew that Changgong Yao's martial arts should be good, so let his subordinates go up together, so as not to have any accidents, this is a habit that has been cultivated for many years, and it is definitely not extraneous.

Haruka Changgong shook his head and sighed; "Why is it so hard to get someone to understand something?"

He didn't get used to this group of people, he stepped forward with an arrow, and the group of black-clothed people who rushed up only felt a gust of wind blowing over his body, and they all immediately collapsed to the ground.

Before the leading man in black could react, he saw that Chang Gong Yao was already standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Can you say it now?" Chang Gong Yao asked coldly again, which made the man in black who wrote the leader couldn't help but shudder.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his heart trembled, "The person in front of him is really terrifying, although there are only seven or eight people on his side, they are all well-trained killers, but this person can defeat them all in an instant, how strong does this have to be?" I'm afraid that only when I grow up can I do it. ”

The leading man in black no longer has the slightest desire to resist at this moment, but they are all dead soldiers, and they are ready to kill at all times.

So after listening to Chang Gong Yao's questioning, he did not hesitate to choose to bite the poison and commit suicide.

Seeing blood flowing from the corners of the mouth of the person in front of him and falling to the ground, it was impossible for Changgong Haruka to stop him.

Turning his head to look at the people who were knocked to the ground by himself, he was also stunned,

They all committed suicide by poisoning.

Chang Gong Yao's face was gloomy, "It seems that these people are not ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but more like well-trained dead soldiers." ”
