When everyone took a closer look, they were all dumbfounded in surprise. Mr. Murong, why is he here! How did he know that Xi Ruoxuan was in danger? In fact, Murong Xiaotian did not return to Murong Villa at all. He walked halfway and returned to Luo City. An invisible and inexplicable concern brought him back to Los Angeles. At this time, Luo City was in chaos, and the streets were full of fleeing people and soldiers preparing to fight. Murong Xiaotian mingled among the people to observe the battle situation between the two sides. The reason why he stayed was very complicated, half out of curiosity and half out of concern. Curious, he wanted to find out if He Jingyan was the masked man: As for caring, even Murong Xiaotian himself found it unbelievable. How could I care about her? She is Kuang Langyu's concubine. I shouldn't do anything to her. Fantasy. The more Murong Xiaotian thought about it, the more her shadow flashed in his mind. What's wrong with me? Am I really attracted to her
The war finally started, and Murong Xiaotian, who had been observing as a bystander, never took action because he believed that his action had no value at all. It wasn't until Xi Ruoxuan encountered danger that he struck out by mistake. Murong Xiaotian knew that if he hesitated any longer, Xi Ruoxuan would definitely die. Murong Xiaotian decisively attacked and stood in front of She Jingyan.
She Jingyan pointed his sword at Murong Xiaotian and said in a strong tone: "Mr. Murong, do you really want to be an enemy of the Qiankun Sect?"
Murong Xiaotian smiled: "Master He, don't you think what you did today is too despicable and shameless! In order to achieve your own goals, you actually used despicable means to blackmail Marshal Zhong. What's even more annoying is that , you actually stabbed my disciple, Murong Xiaotian, with your sword. If I don’t take action, I will be a teacher in vain!”
When Xi Ruoxuan heard this, he clapped his hands with joy: "Okay, okay! Master Murong, do you really still recognize me as your disciple?"
"You have always been my apprentice. If anyone dares to bully my apprentice, I, Murong Xiaotian, will never stand idly by!"
Xiruo Marshal Zhong and I, master, you’re welcome, just kill this thief.”
She Jingyan knew that it would be unnecessary to say anything at this time. He shook the sword in his hand, and a sword beam hit Murong Xiaotian's face. Murong Xiaotian didn't panic, he drew out his sword and used a move to let the giant python out of the cave. The two masters staged a showdown between the masters on the handsome car. When it comes to martial arts and swordsmanship, She Jingyan seems to be a little higher than Mr. Murong. However, here are surrounded by Dayou's soldiers, and Murong Xiaotian has the upper hand in terms of momentum. As soon as Xiruoxuan was out of danger, Zhong Langyu immediately ordered the army to stop retreating and continue fighting. The two sides began to stalemate again. After all, Dayou's soldiers were outnumbered and the followers of Qiankun Sect were unable to withstand them in the end, and they were defeated again. Seeing that the situation was over, She Jingyan waved his sword and flew away.
Murong Xiaotian chased for a while symbolically, but he stopped chasing. Murong Xiaotian knew that this man's swordsmanship was superior to his own, and if he chased him hard, he wouldn't get much benefit. If he had to be merciful and merciful, let him go!
She Jingyan's departure further confirmed the failure of the Qiankun Sect. They kept withdrawing from Luo City. By the time General Yuli Zhou Yan led an army of 200,000 people to Luo City, it was already too late. Zhong Langyu guarded the tower tightly again. Zhou Yan and Situ Hainan discussed it and felt that they had lost the best opportunity to capture Luo City. They first petitioned Emperor Yuli to withdraw their troops.
Emperor Youli She Hemiao also felt that there was no need to attack by force, and ordered Zhou Yan to withdraw with an army of 200,000 people. Situ Hainan continued to strengthen the Qiankun Sect in the Yuluo Mountain area. She Jingyan also followed Zhou Yan back to Nuo'an, the capital of Yuli Kingdom.
The enemy troops retreated and Luo City returned to peace, but the vicissitudes left by the war were indelible. The streets and alleys of Luo City were full of collapsed houses, abandoned items, and even corpses that had not had time to be buried. Zhong Langyu ordered some troops to help the people clean up the ruins and help them resume farming. Xi Ruoxuan once again became the hero, and Zhong Langyu liked her very much. On the contrary, it was Mr. Murong who felt a little melancholy and a little lost. Xiuxuan is Zhong Langyu's princess. There should be no relationship between me and her. When Murong Xiaotian had this idea, even he was shocked. Why did I have this idea? Could it be that Xi Ruoxuan is the one in my heart? That woman? What if Xi Ruoxuan is not the princess? If she were an unmarried young lady, would I fall in love with her? Murong Xiaotian thought a lot, but in the end he just didn't want to think about it at all. He quietly said goodbye to the palace and returned to Murong Villa.
After regaining her composure, Xi Ruoxuan thought more, but she was not thinking about emotional matters. She felt that she must have a strong bodyguard group to protect herself. After much thought, she finally decided to form her own guard. She knew that in order to defend Luo City, not only must we have a strong military foundation, but we must also have some highly skilled guard organizations. Otherwise, the enemy will always hold us hostage. The head coach greatly affects the morale of the army and can even directly affect the outcome of a battle. So Xiruoxuan asked Zhong Langyu for more than 200 strong warriors to form her special guard. Zhong Langyu naturally gave his full support. This time I was kidnapped by He Jingyan because these guards were not strong. If my guards were powerful enough, I would not be in such a mess and even almost lose my life.
With Zhong Langyu's approval, Xi Luoxuan went to each military camp to select the strongest soldiers, and then conducted devilish training on them. These soldiers were also very happy, because following the princess, although it was a bit hard and tiring, they were well fed and rewarded with a lot of silver. After these soldiers had mastered their basic skills, Xi Ruoxuan divided them into twenty groups of eleven people each based on his memory. He imitated Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation and equipped them with new weapons. What's more, Xi Ruoxuan also set up her police dog team. Each soldier was responsible for a wolf dog, and then trained them in various skills to prepare for emergencies.
Just when she was full of ambition, someone from the imperial court suddenly came, and Emperor Zhong Yehan sent a decree, asking Zhong Langyu to take Xi Ruoxuan back to Beijing on a certain day. Zhong Langyu explained his will to the generals, and everyone shed tears. After these days of contact, they have established a deep relationship, which is written with life and blood. It is a friendship that cannot be found at any wine table.
Why did Zhong Yehan let Zhong Langyu return to Beijing? It was because some changes had occurred in the capital. Zhong Langfu, the king of Ling County, was investigating an unsolved case in Cangzhou. Duan Wenliang, the prefect of Cangzhou, was a fool, and Zhong Langfu was a martial artist. These two partners were a perfect match. , they caught some suspects based on subjective assumptions, but during the trial, the suspects all made earth-shattering claims of injustice. Zhong Langfu decided to execute the suspects. He took pity on these suspects. They all surrendered and the case was soon "solved".
What kind of case is this? We have to start from the beginning. There was a cloth shop owner named Jia Xian in Qianmen of Cangzhou. One morning, his head was cut off by an unknown source. Jia Xian's son who was less than two years old also disappeared. Jia Xian's wife immediately reported the crime. Duan Wenliang, the prefect of Cangzhou, inspected the scene briefly and said that thieves broke into the house to commit murder, and then took the opportunity to steal the baby and sell it. The case went unsolved. Jia Xian's wife refused to accept it and handed the complaint to the capital. After Emperor Zhong Yehan found out, in order to train Prince Zhong Langfu of Ling County, he asked him to go to Cangzhou to help solve the case. Zhong Langfu, the king of Ling County, lived up to expectations and caught three bandits in just one month. They all admitted that he had killed them and that the children had been sold. It can be seen how harmful torture is to extract confessions. Those suspects who could not bear the pain had no choice but to admit to trumped-up crimes in order not to be tortured to death by this inhuman punishment.
When Zhong Yehan heard that the case had been solved, he was not very happy, but very surprised. Zhong Langfu actually solved this unsolved case within a month. He was 70% suspicious and 30% convinced. Is this kid really capable of this
Ximen Dehao chuckled: "Your Majesty, the third prince has made great progress recently. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he is also good at handling cases. He can be of great use!"
Zhong Yehan thought for a while and said, "Don't you think it's a little faster to solve the case in one month?"
Ximen Dehao was stunned and quickly understood what the emperor meant. The emperor did not believe that the third prince could solve the case so quickly: "Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the third prince. Although the third prince seems to be brave and foolhardy, it can be proven that The veteran observed that he is actually a talented person with both civil and military skills. As long as the emperor trains him well, he will be a good helper for the prince in the future." Ximen Dehao is cunning. He did not say that the third prince can become the crown prince. If he said that, he would definitely It aroused Zhong Yehan's disgust.
Zhong Yehan suddenly said: "If I make this Zhong Langfu the crown prince, what do you think?"
Ximen Dehao quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "This is the emperor's family matter, I dare not say anything."
"My family affairs are also state affairs. The establishment of a prince is related to the future of the country. As long as you are not partial or selfish, there is no harm in talking about it!"
Ximen Dehao slowly stood up: "The prince has lost his moral character. This is a well-known thing in the government and the public. The old minister is bold. The emperor is right to depose the prince. If the prince is deposed, the remaining three princes, including the second prince, will be killed." , the emperor also knew that he was content with enjoying himself, and even had affairs with women in the harem, so he could not be a candidate for the crown prince. The remaining ones were the third prince and the fourth prince. The fourth prince was timid, although he took over the throne of Zhennan King this time He performed outstandingly in the battle to defend Luo City, but people who know the inside story know that these are all due to his soldiers. If it were a peaceful and prosperous age, the fourth prince would be a good candidate for the crown prince, but our Dayou is now surrounded by enemies. Yuli, Yunyan in the west, and Tianqing Khan in the north, none of them are fuel-efficient, so in this environment, we Dayou need a hero, a hero who can make the four sides surrender."
Zhong Yehan looked at Ximen Dehao with sharp eyes: "You mean Zhong Langfu will be the future hero?"
"I don't dare, veteran. Compared with the emperor, the third prince still needs further experience."
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "I always feel that the case in Cangzhou is a bit strange. Please prepare yourself. I have decided to go to Cangzhou."
Ximen Dehao was shocked: "What, the emperor is leaving the capital?"
Zhong Yehan nodded: "Don't make any noise yet. I want to visit privately incognito. You can come with me. Everything is simpler. I just want to see how the third child solves the case."
Ximen Dehao said: "The emperor wants to know how the third prince solves the case. All he needs to do is recruit him back to the capital. There is no need to go there in person."
Zhong Yehan took a sip of tea: "Sitting in the deep palace, what you see and hear may not be the truth. Only by going to the people can you understand the sentiments of the people. I haven't gone out for a long time, so I should go. Stretch your muscles.”
Seeing that Zhong Yehan had made up his mind, Ximen Dehao naturally did not dare to stop him: "Your Majesty, I will go and prepare now. I wonder when the Emperor will leave the palace?"
Zhong Yehan thought for a while: "Tomorrow! Go back and tell the ministers that the morning court will be suspended for a few days. If there are any urgent documents, the prince can handle them temporarily."
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
