At the end of the summer of the fourth year of Xuanjing, Yu Yang, the king of Zhennan, sent seven twists and turns in a row, praying to the imperial court to abdicate on the grounds that he was dying of old age and unwell, and asked his eldest son Yu Zhaohua to take over.

Emperor Xuanjing convened Prime Minister Yao Ce and other ministers to discuss for three days, and finally approved the request of the king of Zhennan, and sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to go to Nanzhou with the prince of Zhennan to officially canonize the prince.

After entering the palace to worship Emperor Xuanjing, the prince of Zhennan resigned from his official position in the court, and then went to Nanzhou under the escort of the palace guards, officials of the Ministry of Rites and Tsing Yiwei.

The commander of the Tsing Yi Guard transferred elite men and horses from the four towns of Fusi, 100 people in each city, and there were three innate warriors in the worship hall to participate in the worship, under the leadership of the commander Tongzhi He Zhifang, as the escort of the southbound team.

······

"My lord, there is a post station three miles ahead"

"Immediately send someone to the post station to guard, inform the post man, and immediately disperse all irrelevant people in the post station"

In the southbound team, Jiang Cheng said to Jiang Wu, in the Qing Officials Division, Li Hongsleeve supported Jiang Cheng on the spot, and the Criminal Department could no longer deal with Jiang Cheng, so he could only transfer Jiang Cheng back to Tsing Yi Wei.

This time, the succession of King Zhennan's throne is an extremely important event in the entire Great Wei, so the commander has dispatched a master to escort it, and Jiang Cheng's report on the achievement of the innate martial artist has already been typed, so it is also in the escort of the south this time, and it is a hidden force other than the innate martial artist of the worship hall.

Jiang Cheng is now the official position of the trial thousand households, which is higher than Jiang Wu, so Jiang Wu became Jiang Cheng's subordinate, and of course, Jiang Cheng also transferred Jiang Wu to his side.

Jiang Wu took the order and left, and Jiang Cheng rode his horse to He Zhi's side and told him that he could rest after walking three miles.

"Jiang Cheng, it's still early, why don't you go a little longer?"

"My lord, it's not impatient to go south to canonize the new king, it's better to hurry slowly, let the brothers stay in formation and maintain their physical strength, you can prevent it"

Jiang Cheng replied that there were more than 1,000 people in the whole team, more than 400 people in Tsing Yiwei, more than 200 guards in the palace, and the rest were servants and subordinates of the palace, and there were also more than 60 carts with goods and some food and other supplies, and the whole team walked very slowly, only about 30 miles a day.

Soon, the team arrived at the post station, and the post station could squeeze out more than 100 people, and it was impossible for everyone to live, so the high-level personnel of the Tsing Yi Guard, the personnel of the Ministry of Rites, and some of the personnel of the royal palace lived in the post station, and the rest of the people camped outside the post station.

Jiang Cheng's position is not low, he could have lived in a post station, but he couldn't get a single room, so he had to live in a chase shop, so he lived directly in a tent outside.

"There are many masters in the guards of the king of Zhennan, not to mention three or five congenitals, and you are not the only hidden master among the Tsing Yi guards, and there are many people who want to climb in the officialdom, and they will not enter the worship hall."

In the tent, Jiang Wu said to Jiang Cheng, there are more than 1,000 of them, and there are at least ten warriors above the congenital level, just like Tsing Yiwei, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, there are actually many masters.

In Tsing Yiwei, after arriving at the congenital, only if there is no way to be promoted, will he go to the worship hall, so many congenital martial artists are actually very low-key, and the real strength is only known to the superiors, such as Zhou Fengxian, the pacification envoy, who was a congenital martial artist many years ago, he just never said it, and Jiang Cheng's breakthrough to the innate did not make a big deal of it, only a few people knew.

"I know that this time when I go south, there will be risks only when I enter Pingzhou, and other places are safe."

Jiang Cheng nodded, Pingzhou is in the north of Nanzhou, but there are many mountains in the state, and the roads are rugged, a bit like the Shu land in Jiang Cheng's memory, not only bandits are rampant, but also there are cases of demons every year, many places are no man's land, and it is impossible to achieve the standard of a post station in thirty miles.

"Will something happen to Yu Zhaohua?"

"Big brother, what you asked, it feels like I'm going to kill Yu Zhaohua"

"The atmosphere of the imperial court cutting the feudal domain will blow every few years, causing the three kings with different surnames to be nervous, and this year it is blowing again, and now the king of Zhennan is old, it is the best time to cut the feudal domain, and the imperial court is very likely to do it."

"That's also the imperial court, not me, I'm just a small trial of a thousand households"

"Okay, if you have a plan, remember to let me know in advance"

Jiang Wu nodded, and didn't ask any more, at this juncture, if the imperial court does something, it's normal, Jiang Cheng's official position is higher, and he should know something.

······

Yongdu is more than 2,000 miles away from Nanzhou, if it is a messenger, it can be reached in half a month, but the huge convoy only walks 30 miles a day, a month time, only half the distance, and after entering Pingzhou, the road immediately becomes extremely difficult to walk, the official road also becomes rugged, and from time to time the official road is washed away by floods, mountain floods, and the post station has also changed from 30 miles to 50 miles, or even 100 miles.

"Lord He, the speed of the team is too slow, can you increase the speed?"

"Lord Shizi, it's difficult, Pingzhou is uneven, there are mountains everywhere, the so-called Wangshan runs dead horses, there are only less than 500 miles from north to south of Pingzhou on the map, but in fact, it takes more than 900 miles outside, plus all the mountain roads, it can't be fast at all."

He Zhifang said in embarrassment, before the flat land, it was good for them to speed up, but Pingzhou, really can't get up, the official road here is too narrow and rugged, and a group of carriages continue to break down after walking for a month, their speed has dropped to about twenty miles a day, and it is estimated that it will take a month to get out of the boundary of Pingzhou.

"Lord He, I know that it is difficult, but I miss my father too much, and I hope that my lord will be fulfilled."

"Okay, I'll try, we should also focus on safety"

He Zhifang nodded, he could only agree, he also felt that it was too slow, if this continued, they would not be able to return to Yongdu City in at least three months.

Early in the morning of the second day, He Zhifang ordered to increase the speed, but those soldiers complained bitterly, you must know that more than 1,000 people came out of the cart, outside the carriage, there were less than fifty horses, and the others were on foot, they had been walking for more than a month, extremely tired, and it was too difficult to speed up.

So on this day, the situation in the team was full of problems, either the carriage fell apart, or someone fell, or he was sick, and even some horses were directly tired to death, and at the end of the day, not only did not increase the distance, but walked a lot, only fourteen or fifteen miles.

At night, the convoy camped beside the official road, and more than 1,000 people set up hundreds of tents, covering a huge area, but the hard-working Tsing Yi guards still had to be on duty at night, guarding the camp after everyone fell asleep.

"Ahh

"What's going on"

"Murder, Lao Hu is crazy"

"It's not good, it's Yingxiao"

Jiang Cheng, as the leader of the night duty, did not fall asleep in the middle of the night, but was absorbing the essence of the moon, suddenly, Jiang Cheng heard the chaos in the camp, and when he heard it, it turned out to be the camp roar.

But when marching, the most feared thing is the camp roar, and when the camp roars together, the army will collapse, and this collapse will be contagious.

"Calm, Tsing Yi Weinan City general, I am Jiang Cheng, listen to my orders"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly got out of the tent, blessed his voice with his internal strength, shouted over and over again, and gathered the Tsing Yi guards around him, constantly pressing.

"My lord, the camp is in chaos"

"I know, is the camp gate closed, is there anything wrong with our people"

"It's okay, it's all here, the people from the middle camp have gone to Beicheng"

When Jiang Wu returned, the camp was divided into three layers, the outer layer was the Tsing Yi Guard, the middle layer was the subordinates of the palace and some of the guards, and the inner layer was the prince Yu Zhaohua and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Tsing Yi Guard.

"You guard the camp gate, and those who dare to approach will be killed."

Jiang Cheng ordered with a cold face, the best way to deal with Ying Xiao is to deal with it coldly, because the reason for Ying Xiao is very evil, it may be a sentence from a person in his sleep, or it may be a trivial small movement, which may cause mental disorders of personnel, and this kind of emotion is easily contagious, so the previous people used the lesson of blood to sum up their experience, that is, cold treatment.

Jiang Cheng and Jiang Wu came to the gate of the camp with some of the men and horses, and saw the middle camp like hell, where hundreds of people were killing each other, without any camp, just killing people like crazy, killing anyone who could see it.

"My lord, they're coming"

"Archers prepare, put"

Jiang Cheng coldly ordered, more than ten archers in Nancheng bent their bows, and then shot those people and horses who were approaching, whether they were awake or not, once they approached, they had to be shot, because the people around Jiang Cheng were also mentally tense now, and once they broke their minds, Jiang Cheng would also roar here.

"My lord, the North City camp is broken"

"Whatever it is, don't care about anything"

"Adult"

"Shut up, disturb the morale of the army, kill"

Jiang Cheng shouted loudly and said to a chief flag officer, no one can move now, Jiang Cheng doesn't want to set himself on fire.

"All battalions guard the camp, don't move, the commander of each battalion, gather men..."

Soon, there was a sound like a bell from the inner camp, and then, five figures appeared in the camp of Beicheng, all five of them were innate martial artists, relying on their strong martial arts, the camp Xiao of Beicheng was completely suppressed, and then they entered the middle camp, this time they were extremely ruthless, while calling and letting people lie down, all of them were killed, and no one was left.

Soon, the roar in the middle camp was over, because all the people who were still delirious were killed, and after there was no movement, there was a sound coming, telling the camps not to move, waiting for the dawn, and everyone waited until dawn.

After dawn, each battalion sent men and horses to enter the middle camp, and all the stumps and broken arms were in sight, and the smell of blood was so strong that people couldn't breathe, and many people were so frightened that they trembled, even most of the people in Tsing Yi Wei had never seen so many dead people at one time.

"Jiang tried thousands of households, and the adults with the same knowledge are invited"

"Okay, I'll get over here"

Jiang Cheng nodded, and then went to the inner camp alone, and asked Jiang Wu to take people to clean up the mess.

The inner camp is still rumored now, and all the guards in the palace are extremely nervous, and when they enter the camp tent, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, He Zhifang, Yu Zhaohua and other high-level officials are all there.

After everyone gathered, the first thing He Zhifang said was to investigate the cause of the camp Xiao last night.
