Although the carriage went first, it was quickly caught up by Chen Qi. After Chen Qi saw the carriage, he just followed from a distance and did not approach.

It was almost noon, and there was no one else on the official road at this time, except for the carriage in front and Chen Qi following behind.

After entering a dense wood, the carriage, which had been moving fast, suddenly slowed down and drove deeper into the woods.

The carriage jolted through the woods, and there were sounds of surprise from inside the carriage, but the coachman did not respond.

Far from the official road, the coachman stopped the carriage and got into the carriage, and then the three of them got out of the carriage one after another.

Due to the bump just now, Yu Jingtong and his entourage were trying their best to regain calm after getting out of the car.

When Chen Qi drove away from the official road, he knew that the coachman was going to make a move. After abandoning his horse, he began to fly quietly in light work.

"What are you going to do?" Yu Jingtong's entourage asked in a trembling voice when he saw the coachman pull out a steel knife from the carriage, pointing at the coachman with a frightened face.

The coachman ignored his entourage, but smiled and said to Jing Tong: "Lord Yu, I know that you are a good person and a good official, but I can't help myself. ”

The corners of Yu Jingtong's mouth raised slightly, and said: "The old man has agreed to leave, and he will never set foot in Jingqian Town for half a step from now on, it will not affect you anything, why do you want to take the old man's life?"

The coachman said: "The specific reason is not clear below, so it may be because adults are unwilling to be fellow travelers." ”

Yu Jingtong said: "Just because I don't want to be in the same stream with you, I want to kill him, so all the officials in the capital who don't want to be with the king will be killed?"

The coachman said: "I don't understand what the lord said, and the order I received here is to kill the lord." ”

"You dare to ......" The entourage looked at the coachman and then at Yu Jingtong, although he was very scared, he still blocked his body in front of Yu Jingtong.

Yu Jingtong stepped forward and gently patted the attendant on the shoulder twice, motioned for him to stand aside, and then said to the coachman: "You can kill the old man, but the old man has a request." ”

"Please!"

Yu Jingtong took the hand of the entourage and said to the coachman: "Your target is me, it has nothing to do with this child, and please let him go." ”

The coachman said: "Please forgive me for not agreeing, he knows too much, if I let him go, he will definitely go out and talk nonsense in the future." ”

Yu Jingtong said: "I promise that he will not say anything, I will let him find a place to hide and live a stable life." ”

The coachman said: "I really can't agree to this." ”

Yu Jingtong said: "Okay, since both of us are going to die, you can tell me the truth, whether you were sent by King Cheng." ”

The coachman said, "I was sent by Master Zhang." As for whether Master Zhang is the one who becomes the king, I don't know. ”

Yu Jingtong said: "Since they want to get Jingqian Town, they will naturally send a person they trust to replace the old man, since you are sent by Lord Zhang, they must also want the old man to die." ”

After Yu Jingtong finished speaking, he looked at his entourage with a smile and said, "It's just that I hurt you." ”

The entourage knew that he was going to die at this time, so he didn't have the fear of death just now, but calmly said to Jingtong: "If the master is not afraid of Ah Quan, he is not afraid." ”

The coachman said: "Lord Yu, please rest assured, the knife is very fast, and I will find a good place to bury you later." ”

Yu Jingtong said with a smile: "Old man, thank you for arranging it so carefully, let's do it." ”

"Offended!"

The coachman's steel knife was slowly raised in Jingtong's calm face and the slightly frightened expressions of his attendants......

"Stop!"

Just as the coachman's steel knife was about to be stabbed out, Chen Qi, who had been quietly listening to their conversation in the tree, let out a loud cry and flew down from the tree.

"Who are you, and when did you hide on it?"

Looking at Chen Qi, who suddenly appeared, the coachman showed a hint of panic, when there was a person hiding in the tree, he didn't know.

Chen Qi said lightly: "I was on it when your car stopped." ”

"You...... What are you going to do?" The coachman was even more flustered at this time, he knew that just based on Chen Qi's light skills, he was not an opponent.

Chen Qi said: "If you want to kill someone, of course I want to save people." ”

When the entourage heard Chen Qi say this, he immediately said happily to Jingtong: "I know that the good man will definitely have a good reward!"

Chen Qi also said to Jing Tong: "Lord Yu, rest assured, with the younger generation, he can't commit murder." ”

Yu Jingtong saluted Chen Qi and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life!"

Chen Qi replied: "The younger generations in Zhenkou already knew about Lord Yu's deeds before, so when he realized that Zhang Dean was going to be unfavorable to the adults, he secretly followed. ”

"You...... You knew I was going to kill him at the entrance of the town?" the coachman was even more shocked when he heard Chen Qi and Yu Jingtong talk.

Chen Qi looked at him and said coldly: "You can even do it as a good official who is loved by the people like Lord Yu." Tell me, do you want to make a decision on your own, or do you want me to do it. ”

When the coachman heard this, he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "The hero spares his life, the hero spares his life, and the little one is also acting according to orders......"

Chen Qi said: "Lord Yu begged you for mercy, did you agree?"

"......" The coachman looked at Yu Jingtong with a dead face.

Yu Jingtong said to Chen Qi: "Young man, spare his life, it's not him who really wants the old man's life, he's just an executor." ”

When the coachman saw Yu Jingtong pleading for himself, he immediately knelt down to Yu Jingtong and thanked him: "Thank you to your lordship, thank you to your ......."

Chen Qi smiled and asked Yu Jingtong: "He was going to take your life just now, do you really want to spare his life now?"

Yu Jingtong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Chen Qi said: "Okay, since you don't pursue it, the junior will spare him." ”

"Thank you, Hero......"

"Listen," Chen Qi said to the coachman, "spare your life today, I hope you will not help the abuse again, if he sees you do unrighteous things again, he will be killed!"

"The little ones will run away and will never do anything for them again......"

Chen Qi said: "Leave the carriage behind, you can go." ”

The coachman was stunned for a moment, then knocked his head on the ground a few times again, and then stood up and fled into the distance.

Waiting for the coachman to go away, Yu Jingtong took Ah Quan and suddenly knelt down to Chen Qi and said, "Old man, thank you for saving your life!"

Chen Qi hurriedly helped Yu Jingtong up and said, "Why should Lord Yu be polite, a good official like you, the younger generation will naturally save him." ”

Yu Jingtong said: "The young man is a person in the rivers and lakes, he doesn't know about the court, and officials like the old man have now become a thorn in the side of some people." ”

Chen Qi said: "The lord is talking about the second prince, right?"

Yu Jingtong exclaimed: "Shaoxia knows him?"

Chen Qi nodded and said, "It's not a secret, the junior is a friend of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Prince Qi, so he still knows a little about the affairs of the imperial court." ”

Yu Jingtong was shocked again. "You are a friend of His Royal Highness King Qi!?"

Chen Qi nodded.

Yu Jingtong said: "The old man heard that the emperor summoned His Royal Highness King Qi to return to Beijing, and he was ready to check and balance, or replace Cheng Wang. In other words, he is the hope of our Great Wei. A few days ago, His Royal Highness passed by Jingqian Town, but the old man did not have a chance to meet. ”

Chen Qi said: "King Qi is indeed the hope of our Great Wei, and he is already determined to fight for the supreme position. With the understanding of the younger generation, if the king of Qi can ascend the throne, he will definitely be able to return the world to a clean level. ”

Yu Jingtong said happily: "Okay, good!"

Chen Qi said: "Lord Yu is just a town mayor, why would he offend King Cheng?"

Yu Jingtong said: "The specific reason is not clear to the old man, maybe he takes a fancy to the geographical location of Jingqian Town." ”

Chen Qi said: "What are your plans next?"

Yu Jingtong said: "The old man originally wanted to go back to his hometown, but now it seems that he can't go back." ”

Chen Qi said: "What the lord said is exact, if the person just now went back and told them that he didn't succeed, I'm afraid they will send someone again." If he runs away, it will definitely make them suspicious, and I am afraid that someone will be sent to verify it again. ”

Yu Jingtong nodded in agreement.

Chen Qi said: "My lord, do you have any secret places to go The juniors sent you over, and then the juniors went to the capital and explained to His Royal Highness the King of Qi that the loss of such a good official as the lord is a loss for the court and the people." ”

Yu Jingtong said: "To be honest, it is indeed unwilling to let the old man leave like this. If he can follow His Royal Highness King Qi, the old man will be happy. ”

"Okay, since the adults have this heart, the juniors will find a place for the adults first. ”
