King Chengxian was stunned when he heard this, and immediately made a relieved expression, "If it doesn't work this time, forget it, if there is medicine in the future, I will send you a few more times." ”

Tong Xinglian slandered in his heart, secretly scolding this tuberculosis ghost is really not a thing, but he didn't dare to have the slightest complaint in his mouth, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you for the cultivation of the prince, I will live up to my mission, and when I go back from this hunt, I will find a matchmaker and marry a few more wives, ha!"

King Chengxian nodded, "If you have good things, don't just share them with others, remember to keep some for yourself." ”

The words are polite, but they are unrelenting. Tong Xinglian's face was blue and red, and King Chengxian didn't pay attention to him, and went straight to Li Desert's side.

Li Sha and the others were about to dismount and salute, when King Chengxian waved his hand, "Outside, don't be polite." ”

He said to Li Desert, "Commander Li, now you are also my person, this hunt, you have to behave well, don't let this king down." ”

Li Desert is the consul of the Kubang Guild, but he also has a position as the commander of the left cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army, but this is a false position, and he does not really command the soldiers and horses. Hearing King Chengxian's words, Li Desert saluted and said, "The minister will never give up." ”

Xiao Jinyan felt that the two of them were talking a little strangely, but after all, they were guests, so they didn't ask much. The voice of the Crescent Moon Spring came from inside the car, "Husband, the prince is still waiting in front." ”

King Chengxian talked with Li Desert and the others for a few words, and then said to Xiao Jinyan, "This is Xiao Daxia, right?"

Xiao Jinyan clasped his fists and saluted.

"I heard that I said that thanks to Xiao Daxia's care along the way, this king is here to thank you, the capital is not as good as the Central Plains, but if you taste it carefully, it can be regarded as a different flavor, you can stay longer. ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Thank you for your attention." ”

At this time, another group of men and horses drove to this side, the leader was a forty-year-old general, burly, purple-faced, holding a spear, with eighteen horsemen behind him, all of them were brave and good at fighting.

Li Desert said, "This person is General Ziguang, a subordinate of the Right Royal Court, loyal to Your Majesty, in charge of the 30,000 forbidden troops in Shangjing, as well as the entire 3,000 shadows of Great Chu, are also under his command." Officially, I'm still his subordinate. ”

The Left and Right Courts are both Chu Parting People, and although King Breguet holds the power of the Great Chu Army, he has no jurisdiction over the forbidden army in the palace. Chu Bieli was subject to King Breguet everywhere, and these two royal courts and 30,000 forbidden troops were his last reliance, otherwise there would have been no bones left by King Breguet.

King Chengxian's convoy took the lead, while Li Desert and the others followed far behind, not daring to trespass. A group of people went out of the east gate, only to see the flags outside the city, the carriage like a dragon, magnificent.

Layue ancestor worship and hunting, is a long-standing tradition in Western Chu, one is to establish the authority of the Son of Heaven, and the other is to report to the emperor in Beijing. The accompanying convoy and cavalry team were either rich or expensive. The civil officials rode in cars, the military generals rode horses, and the children of the powerful people in the city also formed their own teams, and there were 3,000 tiger troops in the middle, which were arranged on both sides, responsible for the escort of this ancestor worship and hunting ceremony.

Three cannon shots.

The emperor's motorcade left Xijing. The convoy was huge, and the sixty-four cavalry forbidden troops were divided into four columns, protecting the emperor's royal chariot in the center, and King Breguet, wearing armor and riding a fiery unicorn, was in front of the imperial chariot.

Everyone saluted, "See Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Before the emperor in the car could reply, King Breguet waved his hand, "No need to be polite, get up." Your Majesty has a will, and he will set off immediately. ”

Heavy snow fell in the sky.

Fortunately, everyone is ready, or put on fox fur, or get into the car, and there are also some young people, with strong firepower, Ren

Relying on the snowflakes falling on the body, it only suffered those officers and soldiers who raised the flag and fought for it, and their hands were exposed, and their breath turned into ice.

Along the way, there were constantly scouts and horses going back and forth between the palace and the convoy, reporting the situation to King Breguet, who did not ask for instructions, and gave orders directly to everyone, and was short-tempered, often beating and scolding, and did not take the emperor in his eyes. The accompanying ministers were also surprised, and there was no reaction.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but sigh secretly, Chu was too aggrieved to leave this emperor.

Before dark, the group arrived at the palace.

Twenty miles east of the west capital city, there is Tianmu Mountain, up to a thousand zhang, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all the year round, you can see it when you look up in the capital. This mountain is the sacred mountain of the Great Chu Kingdom, and it is also the birthplace of the Tayan tribe in those years. The palace is built here, and the palace is also the emperor's cemetery, since the founding of the Great Chu, the eighteen emperors are buried here.

Someone had already arranged a reception over there, and after welcoming the emperor into the palace, some people arranged for the accompanying princes and nobles to live in different courtyards, Xiao Jinyan, Li Desert and others belonged to the guests of Chengxian Palace, and were arranged to live in the Conglong Courtyard.

From the Dragon Courtyard, it has always been the other courtyard where the prince lived during the ancestral worship. This time, King Chengxian moved in, which was equivalent to the official recognition of his status as a prince.

That night, the emperor held a banquet in the palace. Xiao Jinyan, Li Sharan and others were not qualified to attend, and they were happy to be idle, and after the washing, the Ali brothers came to knock on the door.

"There is nothing to do left and right, the hot springs of the spring are very famous, I asked someone to find a relationship, so I booked a hot pool, changed my clothes, and let's go drink!"

There are a total of 72 springs in the palace of Shuquan, when the palace is built, the spring water is introduced into the palace, more than 200 soup pools are built, of which there are eight springs in the emperor's palace, and the rest are built in the outer palace. Most of the people who came this time were powerful people, and Buda used the name of King Chengxian to order Hupu Spring.

Tiger pounce spring is built in one corner of the mountain, a huge stone carved like a tiger pounces on butterflies, very realistic, the spring water flows out from the tiger's mouth, into four or five soup pools.

The soup pool they set is about ten zhang in size, with a small pavilion, a stone bench, and a stone table in the middle, and the surrounding area is misty and shrouded in lights, like a fairyland on earth.

When everyone came to Tangquan, there was a maid waiting to change clothes, Ali seemed to be familiar with the road, and under the service of the maidservant, he changed his clothes and entered the pool.

Xiao Jinyan was a little embarrassed, which provoked Buda's teasing, "Brother Xiao, with a beautiful woman to accompany you, you don't lack anything, you can't miss anything, so you won't suffer." ”

Xiao Jinyan refused the other party's kindness and changed his clothes and went into the water. The water temperature was quite high, Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but resist, Ali said, "Endure it, and you will be of infinite use." ”

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Jinyan got used to it. Wine, hot springs, beautiful women, all the tiredness of the past few days.

After a few cups, Xiao Jinyan was overwhelmed by alcohol. He wondered in his heart, originally, he drank a fair amount, but since he came to Xichu, he couldn't get used to their wine, and it was easy to get drunk. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ali hurriedly got up.

Ali scolded, "This is no better than the grassland, you are more disciplined." ”

Buda said, "This water flows outside, and it doesn't make tea, so who is in the way of urinating?"

Ali laughed and scolded, "You bastard, everyone can't make it!" Everyone wiped their bodies and changed rooms to drink.

Although the Tiger Pounce Spring is not big, it is built on the mountain, the road is rugged, after Xiao Jinyan is convenient, he found that he was lost, he walked along the road, and suddenly heard someone talking in the room, Xiao Jinyan felt that the voice was a little familiar, and stopped.

A middle-aged man said in a low voice, "General, please rest assured, this poison is tasteless, and after poisoning, it will attack.

It is like a stroke, even if Bian Que is reincarnated, there is no cure, and the first emperor died under this poison last year. ”

Li Shamin's voice came from inside the room, "That guy is careful, the things that are imported must first find someone to test for drugs, how to send them into his mouth?"

"This poison is called three days of drunkenness, after taking it, if drunk, it will be killed after three days, I have checked the whereabouts of that guy, after tomorrow's ceremony, King Chengxian and his wife will toast him, we do something in this, the big plan can be the city. ”

"It's just cheaper than Chu Xian. ”

"This wine Chu Bieli can drink, Chu Xian can naturally drink it, but it's just a relationship of drinking first and then drinking. ”

Li Desert sneered, "I'm afraid it's going to be exclusive to the Great Chu royal family." ”

Xiao Jinyan was taken aback when he heard their conversation, and in their words, Li Desert was actually ready to make a move against Chu Bieli. He has always had a good impression of Li Desert, with high martial arts and proper work, but he didn't expect to have such a city in his heart.

It's just that with Li Desert's ability, if he wants to stir up the political situation in Western Chu, I'm afraid it is slightly inferior, and there must be other forces behind him.

Another person said, "General Ziguang is afraid that it will be a trouble, this trip, he brought 5,000 forbidden troops, if this plan fails, we will expose our identity, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape." ”

Li Desert said, "This year, in the name of Chu Bie, King Baoji requisitioned 3,000 acres of land from the Nanshan clan to build a palace, which was resisted by the Nanshan tribe, and King Breguet sent troops to suppress it and bloody the Nanshan tribe. Now, they still have 300 warriors, who are lying in ambush outside the palace, intending to assassinate the emperor, and when the time comes, they will reveal some false news to them, let them be bait, and transfer General Ziguang away. ”

The middle-aged man said, "Be sure to take all possible measures, poisoning is not good, and there is also a hunting ceremony, I arranged more than a dozen shadows in the forbidden army, but it really can't work, so I will take the opportunity to create chaos." ”

Li Desert said, "The key is how to deal with the aftermath!"

He added, "I have already thought of a personal choice, there is a Central Plains person in the hall, I have sent someone to investigate him, he has a special identity, and has some connections with the Daming Dengwen Academy, if the mutiny is successful, you can push him out and take the blame, and lead the disaster to the Daming." ”

Xiao Jinyan gasped.

Unexpectedly, Li Desert, who seems to be harmless to humans and animals, has a bad heart in his heart, and even pushes this matter to himself, and can't help but feel that he is lucky, this urine came in time, otherwise he would still be helping people to make money if he was sold.

He came to Xijing for Yu Wenshuang, and he didn't want to pay attention to these things about them, but what he saw and heard today made Xiao Jinyan angry.

"Everything is arranged by the general, I will withdraw first, and the lord is still waiting for my news in the other courtyard. ”

Xiao Jinyan held his breath and concentrated, performed light skills, and left here. Ali and Buda were already drunk, and when they saw this, they asked, "Where did Brother Xiao go, why did he have to pee for so long?"

Li Desert's plan, Xiao Jinyan didn't know if the Ali brothers knew, so he snorted, said a few gossips, and said goodbye to the two.

Back in the room, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Now the situation in the Western Chu Dynasty seems to be dominated by King Breguet's family, but in fact, it is surging secretly, and the major forces have their own calculations. This ancestor worship and hunting ceremony has become a battlefield for them to wrestle, if it is really as Li Desert said, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in the next two days.

Which side is the force behind Li Desert?

Xiao Jinyan is not very clear about the situation in Western Chu, it stands to reason that it should not be on the side of King Breguet, as long as the ceremony is carried out as scheduled, his father and son will rightfully grasp the imperial power.

No matter what, Chu Beili is in danger.
