Chapter 14: Ambush
readx;???“ Then go quickly, don't keep people waiting!"
Beigong Fu's heart was lightly relieved, and she was secretly grateful to Chen Sheng for coming at the right time, with a smile on her face, she sorted out Liu Chen's clothes and said with a smile: "Come back early in the evening to eat, the imperial capital has been curfew recently, don't make trouble for Jin Wuwei!"
"Hmm!" Slowly getting up, Liu Chen walked to the door, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any arrangements today?" If not, let's go out for dinner, it's been a few days since I came back, and I haven't seen the suffering, take this opportunity, let's get together!"
"Baihuafang has recently arrived with a new batch of incense powder, I said to Yuyao, let's go shopping together, if you don't eat at home at night, wait for us to buy something, let's go directly to Wangjiang Tower to book a place! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Well, you can arrange it!"
Liu Chen nodded, smiled and left the dining room, didn't go far, and the laughter of the girls came from behind him, only to hear the little Lori keep shouting angrily: "I'm going too, I'm going too!"
......
Standing in the crowded imperial capital of Dongshi, Liu Chen stopped, and couldn't help frowning thinking about which way to go, approaching the end of the year, there are too many people in the streets and alleys, since Chen Sheng sent a message to himself as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, it was obvious that he had important matters to discuss, and it was reasonable, but he couldn't let Senior Brother Chen wait for a long time.
"Let's go to Jing'anfang, there are few people over there!"
Having made up his mind, Liu Chen bypassed a few archways and walked into a slightly remote alley, shouting and laughing had gradually drifted away from him, and across a few streets, the prosperity of the East Market had long been left behind him.
......
The Royal Palace, the Hall of Ganlu.
Like a candle in the wind, three thousand green silks were dyed with snow, and the apocalypse emperor with a withered face leaned softly on the dragon chair, on his wrinkled forehead, a layer of fine beads of sweat were constantly invading his eyebrows, he was already very old, so old that he could no longer sit upright on the throne that symbolized the domination of the Eastern Continent as before. Now, even trying to open his eyes is extremely difficult......
"Father, the son has a book to play!"
"Prince!" Drooping his eyelids, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the eldest son whose figure was slightly blurred from a distance, and laughed dryly, he nodded hard, opened his mouth, and said intermittently: "You...... Permit...... Quasi-play!"
"Thank you, Father!"
With a respectful bow, Crown Prince Sun Ning raised his head and said with an extremely confident smile on his face: "Since the first year of the Apocalypse, the empire has successively implemented the privatization of the army in various state capitals, and the princes of all towns think that it is good governance, from Yanyang Pass in the north, to Yuezhou Mansion in the south, to Daxue Mountain in the west, and to the Qinhuai River in the east. The armies of the states were all absorbed by the Kyushu Governor's Office...... After several years, this policy has finally been fully implemented, and so far, only Langyawei has not returned to Chuyang!"
"Langya Guard!"
"What's the situation?"
“!!!”
In the silent Ganlu Palace, because of the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, there was a sudden thunder on the ground, and all the civil and military officials present looked at Xu Kun in the military attache camp, Xu Kun frowned, and finally chose to be silent, he wanted to hear the prince continue, he wanted to know, why did the prince attack Langyawei today!
"Isn't there still a Zhenbei Army that hasn't been confiscated?"
At the mention of this, the emperor was obviously in a lot of energy, and he also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the prince's gourd.
"Back to my father, the Zhenbei Army is a special situation, even so, after the autumn harvest last year, all the staff were included in the establishment of the Tongcheng Wuwang Mansion, and at the beginning of this year, the medicine city did not provide food and salary to the Zhenbei Army!"
"Oh......" The emperor was noncommittal, and once again stooped his back.
"The thing that the sons want to play is to implore the emperor to issue an edict to implement the good governance in the first year of the Apocalypse: First, transfer the Beizhen Fusi to Chuyang City under the direct jurisdiction of Langyawei, and the control power of the defense lines of the imperial capital will be taken over to Jin Wuwei! Second, the imperial decree Langyawei will withdraw from the seventy-two cities of Zhongzhou around Chang'an from now on, and the whole army will be drawn back to the headquarters of Chuyang! Third, after Langzhou was broken, the transportation and trade hub in the west of the empire has been cut off, and the hundred cities in the west have fallen into a state of economic paralysis.
"You!"
Xue Zheng, who was standing beside Xu Kun, instantly turned pale, and he was about to come out of the crowd without thinking about it, but Xu Kun, who had always been indifferent, grabbed his arm.
"Master Hou!"
"Shh
"This yellow-mouthed kid is simply too deceitful!"
"Presumptuous!"
After a period of suppressed and angry exchanges, Xue Zheng grimaced and reluctantly retreated to Xu Kun's side, and the Manna Hall at this moment was finally completely boiling.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, he is going to attack Xu Hou!"
"Oh my God, although Your Majesty's time is short, the prince shouldn't be in such a hurry!"
"Isn't it, although this Langya Wei is really annoying, but the Xu family is full of loyalty, and Xu Hou can be regarded as a model of people, shouldn't it!"
"Could it be that Xu Hou offended the prince?"
"How is it possible, Xu Hou lives in a simple place on weekdays, and he doesn't have much to do with that military general, how can he offend the prince?"
"And for what?"
"I heard that the night before yesterday, King Canglan entered the palace......"
"Is it ......?"
The civil officials opened their brains and kept whispering there, but on the side of the generals, their faces changed uncertainly, in short, while being lively and quiet, it was particularly strange in this complex atmosphere of the Manna Palace.
"Father!" The clear and gentle voice suddenly interrupted the discussion in the main hall, including the emperor, everyone's eyes looked at a corner on the jade steps with some incredulity, it was Gongsun You's voice, it was the voice of the Terran Emperor Ji, who had never said a word in the Ganlu Hall for so many years!
"Rose?" the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked hesitant, he never expected Gongsun You to speak at this time.
"Father, the sons oppose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's proposal!"
"What!"
“......”
I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I should have asked for leave in the early morning...... By now, it is estimated that this thought is left in everyone's hearts.
No one noticed that in this incomprehensible atmosphere, a grim and clear sneer flashed on the face of the crown prince Sun Ning.
Suzaku Street, Jing'an Fang.
Walked to the old locust tree in the middle of the alley, Liu Chen suddenly stopped, it was too weird, this way, there was not even a ghost in the alley, it was obviously the sun shining, but this yin wind made Liu Chen's back can't help but have a trace of cold sweat, the early experience of the dart master is constantly reminding him - there is murderous intent!
"Whoosh ......"
Leng Feng broke the tranquility of Jing'an Fang, and the howling from the wind made Liu Chen's eyes streak, and he formed an air shield in front of him with his backhand.
The rain of arrows came quickly, knocking on the light shield and crackling, Liu Chen squinted, and the Qiushui Sword had already appeared in his hand without knowing when.
After two rounds of intense shooting, there were suddenly more than a dozen figures in the empty alley, all masked and black, all murderous...... (To be continued.) )
