On the third day, Li Chengfeng and others set off again after finishing repairs. He said goodbye to Su Yuehan and Xiao Zhuzi, but when he saw that the only people setting off were him, Zhao Feiyue, and Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Your Highness is not coming with us?" Li Chengfeng was extremely surprised.
Zhao Feiyue shook his head and said: "The third brother said that he has to handle government affairs here and can't go back after a while."
A fool will take this statement seriously, but only a wise person can taste it.
Li Chengfeng was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh and said, "The prince... is a true gentleman!"
Li Chengfeng knew very well that at this time, he had actually boarded the prince's ship. He stepped forward to save the prince, and he had been deeply marked as a prince, and would be regarded by the world as a figure of the prince's line.
The prince should take advantage of the friendship formed during this battle to win over him, but the prince didn't. He either didn't look down on Li Chengfeng's strength, or he didn't want him to get too close to him.
Judging from the conclusions Li Chengfeng has drawn from observing the prince these days, the prince is a benevolent gentleman. Although he is aloof, he does not have the airs and snobbery of others. He can stoop down even to a humble life in the soil. He was careful not to trample or hurt their lives and self-esteem, not to mention that Li Chengfeng fought continuously and not only saved the prince's life several times, but also killed two big demons in a row.
Judging from this performance, as long as you have a little bit of brains, you will never turn a blind eye.
But the prince did not climb up the pole. Obviously he did not want Li Chengfeng to get too close to him, and he did not stop Zhao Feiyue from getting too close to him.
Even the prince didn't come to see him off.
The intention was obvious. The prince didn't want Li Chengfeng to have too much to do with him. In other words, he didn't want Li Chengfeng to be involved in this cruel battle to seize the rightful son. Similarly, he didn't want Zhao Feiyue to be involved. Get involved in it.
Li Chengfeng compared his feelings and asked himself, if he were in the position of the prince, he would definitely pull Zhao Feiyue and himself into trouble by any means and tie them to his chariot. Even if they could not be used for himself, they would definitely not be used by others.
But the prince didn't. He didn't even tell them to warn them, he just let them go easily.
This is even more valuable for a prince who is in the midst of a power struggle and feels great pressure.
Li Chengfeng turned around and took a deep look at Taiyang City, only to see a man on horseback chasing out of Taiyang City. From a distance, he could be seen wearing a second-grade official robe. He was obviously stationed in the city these days. Synonymous with Ning.
Ning Tongyi rushed towards Li Chengfeng and others, and shouted loudly before he got close: "Your Highness, Master Chengfeng, please stay!"
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue turned their horses and watched Ning Tongyi galloping towards them. Han Tianxing on the side muttered in a low voice: "Let me just say that His Highness the Crown Prince will not give you nothing!"
But they saw Ning Tongyi rushing towards him, holding a scroll in his hand. Ning Tongyi said: "His Royal Highness is busy with government affairs and cannot come to see you off. For some reason, he entrusted me to send this calligraphy to Master Chengfeng."
Li Chengfeng was also afraid of the gold and silver jewelry that the prince would send him, because the impression and image the prince left on him was really good. He also began to really hope that the prince could become the emperor in the future. With such a kind and wise king as the emperor, this It is the blessing of all people in the world.
But if he sends gold, silver and jewelry, it will destroy the good impression in Li Chengfeng's mind.
But when Li Chengfeng took the scroll with both hands and opened it, he saw four strong and powerful characters written on it: Haoran Zhengqi!
Li Chengfeng doesn't know much about calligraphy, but just by looking at these words, he can feel the determination and perseverance of these four words, coming to his face!
Li Chengfeng carefully put away the calligraphy, nodded to Ning Tongyi, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the calligraphy!"
After saying that, Li Chengfeng cupped his hands towards Ning Tongyi and said, "Farewell!"
After saying that, Li Chengfeng turned around and waved vigorously to Su Yuehan and Xiao Zhuzi on the city wall, then rode away with Zhao Feiyue, Zhao Xiaobao and Han Tianxing, leaving only Ning Tongyi behind, his face suddenly darkened.
Ning Tongyi stared angrily at Li Chengfeng's back and left. He returned to the mansion where the prince temporarily lived. When he saw the prince who was handling government affairs, he groaned and sat next to him.
While Zhao Hanqing was reviewing the memorial, he said without raising his head: "Are they gone?"
Ning Tongyi snorted as a reply, and then he said angrily: "Your Highness, are you going to let him go like this? He is a rising star of the Lingshan sect. He won the first place in the assessment and battle rankings when he just started. He is unparalleled. A genius! If we win over him, the Lingshan Sect can become our..."
Zhao Hanqing's pen was quick to review and write, and he smiled and said: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water! He repays the orphan as a national scholar, and he should be treated as a national scholar!"
Ning Tongyi opened his mouth and wanted to persuade him again, but found that he had nothing to say. If he continued to speak, he would become a bad person, which would be a huge loss for the upright and upright prince.
Ning Tongyi sighed deeply in his heart, stood up and left.
After he left, an official wearing a third-grade official robe in the side courtyard came up to him. He was obviously familiar with him and was also an official from the prince's line. He looked at Ning Tongyi expectantly.
Ning Tongyi sighed and shook his head, and the official let out a long sigh: "Your Highness is good at everything, but he is too benevolent and too popular among scholars! If he has already boarded the plane to become emperor, he is certainly a benevolent king and will definitely leave his name in history. But now. But it’s worth fighting for the right to be the heir, with such a kind and innocent character, I’m afraid he will suffer a big loss in the future!”
Ning Tongyi couldn't help but nodded, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter, there will always be some shameful and dirty things that need to be done by someone in the future. As a minister, you should share the worries of the master!"
The official was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "That's right!"
…
Li Chengfeng bid farewell to Taiyang City, the place where he fought his first bloody battle after coming down from the mountain. Here he became famous in one battle and truly felt the cruel fighting in the cultivation world.
This was a bloody battle involving tens of thousands of lives, and it took place in the hinterland of Daqi. When the news spread, it naturally shocked the government and the public.
Even before their group arrived at Shenjing, the news had already spread.
Although the horses under the three people's legs are not thousand-mile horses, they are also very powerful. After galloping for four days, they have galloped more than two thousand miles and have arrived near Shenjing.
"A hundred miles ahead is Shenjing!" Zhao Feiyue pointed to a majestic pass in the distance and said, "Ahead is Tongjing Pass!" As she said that, she looked at the pass in awe and said, "This is The first level in the world!"
Li Chengfeng looked around and saw the pass standing in the canyon of two mountains from a distance. The city wall lay across the gap in the canyon, like a tower embedded between the two mountains.
On the two high mountains, there are towering arrow towers and excavated plank roads everywhere. Soldiers on patrol can be seen in the distance above. What is even more eye-catching are the two stone statues standing in front of the mountains. These two stone statues are thousands of meters high, almost as high as the mountain. One is Emperor Taizu who founded the country, and the other is Emperor Taizong who founded Xinjiang.
But what attracted the attention of Li Chengfeng and others at this time was not these two majestic stone statues, but a group of people at Tongjing Pass.
This group of men and horses were fully armed, wearing heavy armor, holding bows and crossbows, staring at them eagerly. The leader galloped over on horseback, and his voice came from far away: "In front of us are the heroes who defeated the old demon Leiyun and Jue Wuji. Li Chengfeng, Da Qiyun and Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue looked at each other, and Li Chengfeng stepped forward and shouted: "Exactly!"
This man came on horseback, but he was a general in heavy armor. He bowed slightly towards Zhao Feiyue and said: "I am wearing heavy armor because of my humble position, so it is inconvenient for me to salute. I hope your highness will forgive me!"
Zhao Feiyue nodded slightly, and the general cupped his hands to Li Chengfeng and said, "Fourth prince, please have a meeting with Master Chengfeng, and please move on!"
Li Chengfeng's heart suddenly tightened. He and Zhao Feiyue looked at each other and thought to themselves: Here they come!
The other party actually used the army to invite people. Is this a invitation? This is clearly a threat!
If you refuse, will thousands of troops trample you over
If you agree, does that mean you have boarded the Fourth Prince's pirate ship
what to do? To go or not to go
