One hundred and twenty-six chapters, King Zhou Ming
The green forests in the mountains covered the mud, and Rao did not let Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan slow down their pace at all, but let the advancing army leave indelible traces on the ground.
"Most of the internal armies in the DPRK are controlled by the National Teacher's Government, and all the orders in the DPRK are issued by the National Teacher's Government, even if you do something shady, you can make up excuses at will, so that you can walk on the road openly, there is no need to do this at all, but it arouses suspicion. ”
On the way to follow the traces of the march, Wang Zixuan thought for a moment and said.
"This is probably not the army of the National Teacher's Mansion, the prince is young, Li Jiunian has all the big and small matters in his hands, and even the matter of letting the little prince ascend the throne can be suppressed, so as not to walk in the mountains and forests and add to the trouble. ”
Lin Zheng touched his chin and nodded approvingly, as Wang Zixuan said, Li Jiunian didn't need to be like this at all.
"Then......" Wang Zixuan frowned while constantly jumping from the trunk of the tree, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes: "If it weren't for Li Jiunian, there would only be a few private soldiers of the prince left, but why would the private soldiers appear here?"
"What's the use of just thinking about it, can't you just catch up and take a look?" Lin Zheng, who had always been following Wang Zixuan, took advantage of Wang Zixuan's thinking to overtake him, and didn't forget to pat Wang Zixuan's shoulder provocatively.
Wang Zixuan immediately retracted his thoughts, Lin Zheng was right, blindly guessing would not get a real answer at all, and he still had to follow up and take a look to determine the other party's purpose.
"Let you breathe. Wang Zixuan was secretly surprised when he looked at the speed at which Lin Zheng's back was far away, and the original plan to let Lin Zheng take ten breaths also became three breaths.
After three breaths, Wang Zixuan's legs suddenly exerted force, and he rushed directly out of the hundred meters, and when he stepped on the next tree trunk, he used his strength again, and so on, and it didn't take long to see Lin Zheng's disappeared back again.
"Tiannian, don't be caught by me. Wang Zixuan said with a wicked smile.
Lin Zheng, who was hurrying with all his strength in front, felt a chill all over his body, and when he walked faster, he really opened up some distance between him and Wang Zixuan.
"Not bad. Wang Zixuan smiled indifferently, and seemed to be under no pressure to follow Lin Zheng and let him distance himself, but when Lin Zheng was about to disappear from Wang Zixuan's field of vision again, Wang Zixuan suddenly moved.
It's not that Wang Zixuan has always remained stationary before, but compared with Wang Zixuan's current speed, the previous chase was like a playful between children, but now what is shown is the speed that an immortal should have when he strokes his sixty knots.
Wang Zixuan no longer jumped on the trunk of the tree, but stood on the void like a swift wind, and with every step he took, he quickly pulled in the distance between himself and Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng, who was running in front, suddenly couldn't hear the sound of Wang Zixuan's feet stepping on the trunk of the tree, and when he turned around, he happened to be stopped by Wang Zixuan and hugged on his shoulder.
Before Lin Zheng came back to his senses, Wang Zixuan's lazy voice came into his ears leisurely: "Tiannian, you lost." ”
"It's so fast......" When Lin Zheng was shocked by Wang Zixuan's speed, he also had no choice but to slump on Wang Zixuan's shoulder and bow his head gently: "You won." ”
"With my speed, I will be able to catch up with the army ahead in the evening. ”
Wang Zixuan's speed did not decrease, and he said to Lin Zheng with a confident smile on his face.
"Five hundred people, marching in this quagmire again, no matter how much they pursue speed, the foot strength of ordinary people will definitely not reach the level of leaving Luoyang. Lin Zheng thought carefully on Wang Zixuan's shoulder: "If the direction remains the same, maybe we can meet them near Jinchi City." ”
"I also think it's in Golden Pond City. Wang Zixuan nodded, his inference was not much different from Lin Zheng, and the rest was to hurry with all his might.
In the evening, the sun is slanting to the west, and half of the sky is dyed with red clouds, and the beautiful scenery like heavenly fire attracts countless pedestrians to stop and watch outside Jinchi City.
Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan stood on the mountain road near Jinchi City, the purpose of the two was not in Jinchi City, so they had no intention of entering the city, but carefully searched in the nearby mountains.
"It is impossible for an army of five hundred people to enter Jinchi City with great fanfare, it must be encamped in some hidden place, and we will search carefully. Lin Zheng had seen enough of Hongxia, turned around and walked into the old forest.
"It's beautiful. Wang Zixuan sighed before retracting his gaze, and then followed Lin Zheng to find the army.
The glow faded quickly, and the ink-like darkness descended.
In the dark old forest, Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan walked cautiously, and a few fireflies surrounded the two of them, lighting up the only bit of light.
"Did you find it?" Lin Zheng asked Wang Zixuan softly.
"There is no need to laugh like this, there is no figure in a radius of half a kilometer, and naturally no one will find us. Wang Zixuan sighed helplessly, he couldn't find half of the mountain, could the other party be sleepless and rushing overnight?
Suddenly, a few bits of fire entered Wang Zixuan's perception, causing Wang Zixuan to smile evilly: "Found it." ”
"Oh, where is it?" Lin Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, the two of them had searched for so long and had not been found, could it be that the other party was hiding in some hidden place?
"The cunning rat, which turned out to be hiding in a mountain col, and even camped so carefully, seemed to have its own secret to tell. ”
Wang Zixuan seemed to have caught someone's handle, and laughed twice: "Let's not alarm them first, follow them for a few days, maybe we will catch a big fish." ”
Since Wang Zixuan said so, Lin Zheng naturally had no reason to disagree, so the two came to a place not far from the mountain col, looked for an old tree, sat on a high place, and watched quietly.
On the second day, the soldiers in the col packed up their camp and quietly walked out of the col.
Along the mountain road, he avoided the pass and left, and walked out of Luoyang.
Wang Zixuan and Lin Zheng followed behind the army, their eyes narrowed slightly.
"It seems that this army has come prepared, and it knows this narrow mountain road. Wang Zixuan's eyes showed deep meaning, and the smile on his face was even worse: "Let's go, let's follow." ”
The two followed the army for a whole day.
Lin Zheng saw that Wang Zixuan seemed to be planning to follow him like this, so he finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who this army belongs to?"
Wang Zixuan nodded very naturally, and said directly without hesitation: "Of course I know, King Zhou Ming, Ji Tianxuan." ”
Lin Zheng glanced at Wang Zixuan, this was obviously a long time ago that he wanted to tell himself, but he couldn't bear to say it without asking.
"What do you think their purpose is?" Lin Zheng asked again.
"I really want to know?" Wang Zixuan asked Lin Zheng with certainty.
"Hmm. "When it comes to this, if Lin Zheng doesn't ask clearly, wouldn't he have been chasing for so long in vain?
Wang Zixuan bent down to Lin Zheng's ear and whispered a few words, then straightened up and made a silent gesture.
Before Lin Zheng could recover from the shock, a little cold light had already flashed in front of his eyes.
The Gale Sword came out of its sheath at some point, blocking the rushing cold light one meter in front of Lin Zheng.
There was a crisp sound, and the cold mang was blocked by the gale sword, and the figure behind the cold mang appeared.
"Commander Huo?" After repelling the black shadow, the Great Wind Sword in Wang Zixuan's hand pointed diagonally at the ground: "You've been following for a long time, right? ”
The night turned into a man, and the man saw that he had endured it for a day and a night before he took advantage of Lin Zheng's stunned surprise and a sword that sneaked out was easily blocked by Wang Zixuan.
So he didn't stop there, but turned and walked towards the woods.
"Qi. Wang Zixuan snorted coldly and didn't chase after him, but watched the man go away with an indifferent gaze, and then put away the Great Wind Sword.
"What you said is true?" Lin Zheng didn't have time to ask Wang Zixuan why he let the man go, but looked at Wang Zixuan nervously.
"How could I lie to you?" Wang Zixuan spread out his hands, as if he had put all the secrets in front of Lin Zheng: "The person who escaped just now is King Zhou Ming, the commander of Ji Tianxuan's private army, surnamed Huo, I let him go just to let him go back and bring a careful account to King Zhou Ming for me, I have already caught his handle." ”
"That's a bit of a big deal. Lin Zheng sighed as he looked in the direction in which the man had disappeared.
"Let's go back, we probably won't find anything if we follow along, it's enough to have this handle and some gossip. Wang Zixuan seemed to be in a very good mood, holding the back of his head with both hands, and strode down the mountain forest towards the road.
Lin Zheng also understood that since he let Commander Huo escape, this army would definitely not continue to advance according to the original plan, so he didn't care about being discovered, and swaggered towards the official road.
The two went all the way back to Luoyang City.
On the way to the palace of King Zhou Ming, Lin Zheng and Prince Xuan met Li Jiunian.
Li Jiunian seemed to be waiting for Lin Zheng, and when he saw Lin Zheng appear, he walked over directly.
Lin Zheng and Wang Zixuan exchanged glances, Wang Zixuan hugged his fists and said hello, and then left directly.
Lin Zheng looked at Li Jiunian suspiciously.
"Is the National Teacher looking for me?" Lin Zheng asked.
"Naturally, I'm looking for the Forest Pavilion Master. Li Jiunian laughed: "Pavilion Master Lin's trip this time has caused quite a stir. ”
"What does the National Teacher mean?" Lin Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Naturally, it was Bai Yutang's corruption, and what the Lin Pavilion Lord did made the country's image a lot taller in the hearts of the people. Li Jiunian patted Lin Zheng's shoulder with a smile, chatted with Lin Zheng for a while, and then left after a few words of encouragement.
Lin Zheng was puzzled, Li Jiunian's eyeliner was all over Luoyang, and it was not strange for him to come back, but it was not like Li Jiunian's style to talk to him just because of such a trivial matter.
When Lin Zheng was puzzled, a blasting sound sounded in the direction of King Zhou Ming's palace.
Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards the direction of the blast.
After seeing the familiar figure, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Lin Zheng asked as he stood beside Wang Zixuan.
Wang Zixuan looked ahead with an ugly face, and Lin Zheng also looked along.
Not far in front of the two, a corpse emitting black smoke and a scorching smell was quietly Chen Heng.
Wang Zixuan's expression was serious, his brows were furrowed, and he slowly spit out a few shocking words: "This is King Zhou Ming......"
