Chapter 30: Three Hundred Miles of Killing, Waiting for the King to Enter the Urn (I)
There was a sudden silence in the ship's hall.
The chatter is no longer chatting, and the chess player is no longer falling, that is, the little boy Ge Xiaoyu stole chicken legs from the kitchen and put them to his mouth and was about to put them in his mouth, when he found that the people who were suddenly still were also a little frightened and stunned in place.
So everyone, including Su Hanshan, looked at Chu Nanzhao.
The latter was slightly embarrassed to clear the Qingsang, trying to break the atmosphere of the freeze of time.
Li Tianxia, the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, complained, grabbed some melon seeds from the fruit bowl and said boringly: "Everyone knows, why do you mention these?"
Chu Nanzhao looked at Su Hanshan: "Have you never thought about how to go next?"
Su Hanshan shook his head with a light smile.
Li Tianxia said passively: "When you meet the mountains, you will wade through the water." β
Chu Nanzhao frowned: "What if you encounter a killer again?
This descendant of Confucianism, who came from the hundred schools of Jiangdong and was known as the head of the same generation of civil and military talents, looked around at everyone in great puzzlement.
After experiencing cannibalism and being plotted by his nephew Xi Hongyu, he can be regarded as personally experiencing the horror of hatred caused by jealousy.
However, this feeling of walking on thin ice is undoubtedly very unfamiliar to Li Tianxia or Su Hanshan of the Southern Dynasty.
The queen emperor of the Southern Dynasty has the only son and a daughter under his knees, and Li Tianxia's position in the East Palace is dictated by the destiny of heaven, so he naturally doesn't know what the dispute between the prince and the prince in the same room means.
Su Hanshan, who grew up in Hanshan Temple outside Su City and was accompanied by Buddha since childhood, is also the same.
Chu Nanzhao continued to say to Su Hanshan: "If I want to kill you, I will never change my decision because of the protection of Huangmei's predecessors or other first-class masters in the rivers and lakes. β
Su Hanshan was thoughtful.
Recalling the two assassinations that left Gusu City, the situation was broken at the Lingnan Yunlai Inn because of the appearance of Wuyang, and then more than ten days were uneventful. It wasn't until the advent of the Hundred Soldiers of Yangzhou City that the young master of bull riding appeared in the rain. But in the end, he was driven away by Huang Mei's predecessors and fled.
And then it's all the way to the present.
It can be seen that all this is not a temporary intention to find some killers who are not in the middle of the river to stop it halfway, but it has been planned carefully and premeditated for a long time.
As Chu Nanzhao said, the people behind the scenes who secretly planned all this and wanted to take their lives must have a backhand.
In other words, the calm of the floating river is just a faΓ§ade.
Perhaps the person behind the scenes was also seeing the move, and because of the sudden appearance of Wuyang, his original plan was disrupted, and he had to make adjustments accordingly, which led to the appearance of Shiyu and his shepherd boy, whose cultivation strength was above Huang Shang'er more than ten days later.
If this is the case, the calm since leaving Yangzhou City can only show one thing, the people behind the scenes are redeploying troops according to the strength of Huang Mei's predecessors.
In this way, wouldn't the killer who appeared next be in the martial arts realm above Huangmei's predecessors?
Chu Nanzhao seemed to see what Su Hanshan thought: "And the most important point is that after crossing the Xunyang River, there will be three hundred miles of wasteland that is the border city of Sutang, and the assassination of the Nine Emperors of the Empire in Sutang will eventually be risky and half the effort." If my prediction is correct, those people will definitely make a last effort before you enter Daliang City!"
Li Tianxia shuddered for no reason, and even had a chilling feeling: "Hearing you say this, this prince seems to see a black cloud pressing over. β
The calm before the storm is not terrible, but there is nothing more terrible than being shrouded in dark clouds, and everyone is still dreaming and unaware of it.
At this time, Su Hanshan, who was awakened, had some lingering palpitations in his heart.
"Of course, Emperor Sutang Jingyou believes that there will be other arrangements. But the enemy is dark and I am clear, the so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, if you are not on guard in time, I am afraid that it will be too late to regret it!"
Su Hanshan was silent for a while and then asked, "What does Brother Chu think?"
Chu Nanzhao shook his head.
The authorities were obsessed with bystanders, and he only reminded him kindly from his own perspective that if he talked about the countermeasures, he had never thought so far-reaching, after all, he had not been on the ship for a long time.
Li Tianxia couldn't help but say a few words of disdain: "No wonder! I said that the son of Nanzhao, who is famous and famous among all the sons and hundreds of families, has such a delicate and clear mind, how can he still fall into the way of his own master and nephew? After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are also talking on paper!"
Chu Nanzhao, who remembered another thing, did not quarrel with Li Tianxia, he looked at Su Hanshan's eyes: "It is reported that the Seventh Prince of Su Tang will arrive in Daliang City within three days. β
Su Hanshan was stunned for a moment.
After a few breaths, he found that Li Tianxia, Xiao Wuyang, Gu Changting and others all looked at him.
In this case, it would be hypocritical to say that you are indifferent.
Because Emperor Jingyou has nine sons under his knees, the seventh prince Su Musha, who is known to the whole world to support the state religion and has a strategy and a good talent for cultivation, has the most sacred heart, and is also the best choice for the future East Palace with the highest demand in the Sutang temple.
was assassinated along the way, and Su Hanshan also suspected that the seventh brother he had never met was the most motivated person behind the scenes, but it had always been just a guess, and there was no real evidence.
Now that he heard that Su Musha would arrive in Daliang City, Su Hanshan couldn't be calm: "What is he doing in Daliang City?
Chu Nanzhao said: "Just two days ago. The clear intention is to transfer to the north to quell the chaos, but why did you go around the bend and stay in Daliang City, I think it should have something to do with you. β
Chu Nanzhao said very implicitly.
The Nine Emperors of Su and Tang who returned to the north crossed the Xunyang River and then had three hundred miles of wasteland to the border city of Daliang City in the south of Su and Tang Dynasty.
In Su Hanshan's view, there are no more than two kinds.
Look at yourself, or kill yourself. Is it just a second purpose, is it a little too obvious?
Su Hanshan was puzzled.
On the side, Huang Shang'er saw that Brother Su was worried, and took the initiative to hold Su Hanshan's arm to comfort him and said, "He wants to see him, but we don't want him to see him, why don't you just bypass Daliang City?"
Li Tianxia also said: "What Wuyang said is not unreasonable. If Daliang City is destined to be swept by storms, there is no need for us to lean towards Tiger Mountain. Go around in a few circles, and delay a few days at most. Besides, Su Mu has a military holy order with him, so he will definitely not stay for long. β
Old man Huangmei looked at Su Hanshan with interest.
Gu Changting, who never left the Qiutang knife, also looked at Su Hanshan quietly.
Today, he may have some understanding of his uncle's good intentions in fighting for this errand for himself in the court.
It is no secret that the great general Gu Xidao is a supporter of the Seven Princes. Once the Seventh Prince goes one step further and enters the East Palace, then the Gu family will naturally be unshaken in the Sutang Empire.
But there are exceptions, right?
If the Nine Emperor Princes, Su Hanshan, were an unexpected variable, then the errand of escorting him back north was just a good opportunity for Gu Changting to build trust.
Pressing the chips on both the Seven Princes and the Nine Princes can ensure that the Gu family is invincible.
Gradually realizing his uncle's painstaking loneliness for the family, Gu Changting also wanted to know in his heart whether the Nine Emperor Princes were worthy of him to put his life on the line as a bargaining chip for this game.
After Su Hanshan was silent for a long time, he shook his head: "What should come will always come, and escaping is not the solution to the problem." What's more, I also want to see if Brother Seven's demeanor is really as outstanding as rumored in Tiandu. β
