Hou Li's words were very peaceful, but even the tiger baby, who was not a courtier, felt a little frightened. Liang Ping was only a servant of the prince of Huiliang, so what qualifications did he have to stay in the palace for the night? This was clearly under house arrest, and he was not allowed to have any contact with anyone again. As for the "escort" Gongzi Huiliang back to the national capital, it is better to say that it is an escort.

At this time, Hou Liao sent the Northern Dao Clan, who was demoted to the forbidden land of Pengshan, the general who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and dared to break into any disaster, to do this, it should be to take Jiangliang on the spot. Huiliang's identity is the son of the country, and there is no crime that has been verified at present, he sent a secret envoy to send an urgent report, but it has a bit of an invitation to merit, and ordinary people really don't dare to take people directly.

The news of Shaowu's return to the country will be announced tomorrow, and at this moment, only these people in the palace know, and of course Huiliang does not know. According to the secret report sent by Huiliang, how could Gongzi Zhonglan know that Shaowu had returned from Wufuqiu, and how could he know the secret of that caravan? More importantly, if Zhonglan wanted to assassinate Shaowu, how could Huiliang know such news in advance?

Whether Huiliang had good intentions or bad intentions, the fact is that he did not save the caravan, and Dajun and the others had already been attacked three days ago.

The general outline of the matter has emerged in Huwa's heart, the news of Shaowu's return has leaked, and even his identity on Wufuqiu has been known, but even if someone knows Shaowu's plan to return to China, they can only find out that he is returning in a caravan. If he continued to investigate secretly, there was a good chance that Daejun would be the target of assassination, and Hanxiong's appearance at Dajun's side would be even more certain of this judgment.

The person who planned the assassination may be Childe Zhonglan, or it may be someone else, or even Childe Huiliang. Huiliang failed to prevent this from happening, so in his opinion, Shaowu is dead, Zhonglan has borne the charge, and the prince of the country can succeed him, I am afraid that he is himself.

Gongzi Zhonglan and Gongzi Huiliang, and Huwa have all seen it in the forbidden land of Pengshan. Zhong Lan is the eldest of her adult children. In the past few years of Shaowu's absence, he has made many friends with the ministers and various tribal forces in the country, and if Shaowu encounters an accident, the possibility of his succession to the new monarch is the greatest, so he may also do this kind of thing.

And Gongzi Huiliang is the personal disciple of Mr. Yuandeng, the sect leader of Liangfeng Ding, Huwa was still a monk of the Three Realms when he met him last year, and not long ago I heard that his cultivation has broken through the Four Realms. It seems that this person's qualifications are very good, and Mr. Yuan Deng must have put a lot of effort into cultivating this disciple and has high hopes for him.

Huiliang used his identity to travel all over the world. Befriending the forces of various sects and the monks of various sects has a great influence in the country. If Zhonglan kills Shaowu, and Huiliang exposes his conspiracy to take down Zhongran, then his reputation in the country will inevitably be higher, and Hou Li, who has little time to live, may have no other choice when determining the heir.

Although Hou Qi claimed that the miracle doctor Peng Keng had cured his illness, it was not difficult for anyone with a heart to inquire about his physical condition before he met the tiger baby. There must be something strange about this matter, don't look at Hou Li's nothing in the past year. Many people probably also understand that the monarch's life is not long, and the timing of this series of plans is also the right time.

It's a pity that now that Shao Wu has not died and has returned home safely, then all these conspiracies are in vain. No one knew in advance which route the young minister would take and in what capacity he would return to the country, even if the young minister himself did not know. This is the arrangement of Hou Li.

Hou Liao sent someone to invite Mr. Yuan Deng to the national capital to discuss the Zen throne ceremony, this is just an excuse, and I am afraid that it is also suspected that the sect of Liangfengding is involved in the conspiracy of Huiliang. With Mr. Round Lantern as the hostage, let this sect not move again.

Mr. Round Lantern is a master of the Six Realms. It wasn't something that a messenger could invite, and it was easy for him to avoid it. However, the monarch mobilized the military formations of the four surrounding cities to "protect" the people of the Liangfeng clan, where is this protection. It is clear that the entire Liangfeng clan is a hostage, forcing Mr. Yuan Deng to come to the national capital obediently, and he can only go back after the matter is clarified.

This monarch just said a few simple words, and then controlled such a complicated situation, Huwa did not expect that Shaowu would return to the country and succeed to the throne, it would be accompanied by so many swords and swords, it seems that the shape of the Ba Mu country and the five countries of Ba Yuan is very complicated now.

If Hou Liao hadn't sent Shaowu to Wufuqiu, he would have stayed in the national capital for the past few years and controlled the shape step by step, which would have made it more convenient to realize the smooth handover of the throne, and I am afraid that so many incidents would not have happened. However, Hou Li's wish is not only to let Shao Wu Shun succeed to the throne, but also to make Shao Wu a unique monarch in Ba Yuan and complete the deeds of Yan Zhao back then.

Huwa has thought so much in her heart, and Hou Liao must see the situation more clearly. But these are not the primary issues that Huwa is concerned about now, he only hopes that Hanxiong and Dajun are fine, and Mr. Changling will still have time to save people and he will have time to respond. If they really have encountered an accident, the tiger baby will never let go of the murderer.

Huwa left the palace and the capital overnight, he drove himself, only a dog sat in the car, and a striking red knot was inserted in front of the car, which was the symbol of the king's envoy.

With this section, the tiger baby can pass unimpeded in the city outlines and checkpoints along the way, and can also intercept the secret reports sent to the national capital by the city outlines at any time. After all, what the monarch received yesterday was only a news from the birds, and the more specific situation still needs to be reported by Shanchuan City. The farther the tiger baby goes on this road, the more detailed the report will be.

Huwa intercepted several carriages with black knots along the way, all from the direction of Shanchuan Castle. asked them what they were reporting to the national capital, and the more Huwa listened, the more solemn her expression became, and the general situation gradually became clear.

......

There was a caravan composed of more than 20 vehicles and more than 50 people, which entered from Zheng Muroguo. They rested in the city of Shanchuan and sold their goods in the bazaar, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. After making a deal at Zencheon Castle, he continued his journey north in the direction of the national capital. The northern part of Zencheon Castle is somewhat desolate, with large areas of wild forests and swamps, and the roads were destroyed due to a flash flood the year before.

The caravan had spent the night in the wilderness when it was attacked. No one knows what happened that night, but it was in the early hours of the morning that the billowing smoke caught the attention of people from afar, and when they arrived, they saw a shocking sight.

Vehicles, goods, livestock, and corpses were piled up together, doused with fire oil and ignited, and the pungent smell permeated the air, and there was not a single living person. When Chennan, the lord of Zenchuan Castle, heard the news, he personally led people to check, and everyone's first reaction was that the caravan had encountered robbers or rogues.

However, the area around the country has not seen a climate for decades, and even if there are a few small thieves who occasionally appear, it is impossible to slaughter such a caravan overnight. Moreover, the thieves intercepted the caravan for money, but after examining the ashes, it was found that the goods in the caravan were not taken away at all, but were all piled together and burned.

Almost everything that could be ignited was reduced to ashes, and there were a large number of damaged pottery coins and metal artifacts, including fragments of armor. There were many broken trees on both sides of the road, there were hillside collapses, and there were many large potholes nearby, and it was clear that fierce fighting broke out. According to the trace analysis, the cultivator's cultivation was so high that even the engineers in the city were shocked.

It's not that a few masters have been here, but at least nearly a hundred people have fought here. How could an ordinary caravan have such a powerful escort force? And how could such a powerful caravan be surrounded and slaughtered? The situation was extraordinary, and the city lord of Chennan hurriedly sent someone to the national capital to report the news, and at the same time ordered the soldier to follow up the clues of the murder.

The poor city lord still didn't understand what was going on, and it was impossible for him to know the secrets of this caravan. But in any case, such a tragedy occurred in his territory, and he, as the lord of the city, did not even notice it in advance, and could not escape the punishment of the king, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to protect the position of the lord of the city.

On the one hand, Chen Nan sent a messenger to report to the monarch urgently, and on the other hand, he also sent his cronies to find Gongzi Zhonglan. He came out of his own clan and Gongzi Zhonglan's mother's clan, which is also the largest force in the area of Zenchuan Castle, so Chen Nan can sit in the position of the city lord. He sent someone to inform Zhong Lan of this matter, hoping that when the monarch blamed him in the future, Zhong Lan would be able to help him say a few good words. But the people sent out by Chennan did not come back.

......

Huwa kept hearing the latest news on the road, and the closer he got to Shanchuan Castle, the more restless he became. Although he still had the hope of what would happen in his heart, he also knew that the chances of Hanxiong and Daejun surviving were very small, and he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes as he sat in the carriage.

In the silent night, under the hazy starlight, the tiger baby is still driving, but the person is in a state of distraction, and controlling the carriage is just a subconscious action. If it weren't for the tiger baby's superb cultivation and instinctive reaction in a state similar to that of a fixed state of distraction, I am afraid that another person would have driven the car into the ditch long ago.

In the villages on both sides of the road, people in their sleep heard the sound of a horse-drawn carriage galloping by, and many people thought they were dreaming, who would ride a horse in this dark night?

Huwa has changed horses many times along the way, and at this moment she is driving with her eyes closed, and there are still tears in the corners of her eyes. The closed-eyed tiger baby seemed to see the past scenes of Wufu Qiu with Hanxiong and Dajun, and then there was a scene in the Yuanshen where the convoy was ambushed and Hanxiong and Dajun were bloodily killed, and this qiē finally turned into a raging fire and flying ashes in the sky......

Outside the Red Brocade City, the tiger baby had watched the caravan leave, and so many living people were now gone, disappearing in a fire. The firelight and flying ash raged in the Yuanshen scene, and the situation of the Qingshui clan's walled city being slaughtered appeared in front of the tiger baby's eyes.

The tiger baby had never seen it with his own eyes, when he was still a baby, hidden in a secret room under the altar, but the mountain god imprinted this tragic scene into his primordial spirit, and it became his experience in the deep silence again and again. This is also the seed planted by the tiger baby's inner demon and the mountain god in the depths of his consciousness, accompanied by hatred and killing intent. (To be continued......)
