839, an old friend
Gu Qianxue sneered and shook her head, "Is there any point in saying this now?"
Li Wang's eyes flickered, "Qianxue, things are not as simple as you think, and I swear, everything that will happen after that is far beyond your imagination."
Qianxue raised her head suddenly, her eyes showed surprise, "Is there any secret? Is there some conspiracy?"
King Li looked serious, "I'm not sure, but I have a hunch..."
Before he could speak, he heard a soldier shouting outside, "Report! The imperial decree has arrived!"
The imperial decree interrupted King Li's words, he hesitated for a moment, but finally he opened the door and left the carriage before finishing his sentence.
Gu Qianxue looked at King Li's figure, her eyes flickered.
Everything is far beyond her imagination? Qianxue sighed helplessly. Yes, there are too many things far beyond her imagination, such as the matter of the second prince and Mingjiao, she never dreamed that it would be like that.
But what can it mean if there are difficulties? It's hard to get overwhelmed.
She shook her head and pushed the door out of the car.
The imperial decree from the emperor arrived. The content of the imperial decree is very simple and straightforward. It is to appoint King Li as the presiding imperial envoy to handle the case of Marshal Zhao, and gradually take over the work of the prince. After taking over all the work, the prince will return to Beijing. The emperor has other important arrangements .
It sounds as if the emperor must be the prince, but in fact he is trying to seize power.
As soon as the imperial decree arrived, King Li reversed his banter before and resumed his chilling and cold aura. His whole person seemed to kill a god, which made people shudder.
"Set off."
King Li put on pure black soft armor, mounted a war horse, and gave the order.
Afterwards, the password officer passed the password, and for a while, several heralds shouted one after another, followed by the sound of horns, and the army moved forward.
Gu Qianxue left Qianjinche, in other words left the army, she didn't want to reveal her whereabouts yet.
The mighty army entering the city also symbolized the beginning of the battle between King Li and the prince.
It wasn't until all the elite soldiers entered the city that Chu Yan looked away and looked at Gu Qianxue who was beside her, "Princess, what shall we do next?"
Qianxue lowered her eyes, "Go to the city too, let's go back to the Ivy House." Saying this, she took out the veil from her bosom and put it on.
"Yes." Chu Yan said.
Two people and two horses galloped through the hustle and bustle and disappeared at the end of the official road.
Kanto City changed again.
Today, no one pays the city fee. I heard that there were a few hours ago when the army did not enter the city, but suddenly a group of people rushed in, said to be the first marcher of King Li's army. There were about 200 people. The officers and soldiers at the city gate beat him up severely.
The officers and soldiers at the city gate naturally refused to accept it, and called other officers and soldiers, probably more than 300 people, and King Li marched first without hesitation, so he blew the horn and called more than 1,000 people. Many people were beaten.
The scene was horrible.
Legend has it that bloodstains flew everywhere.
No one knows whether the matter has reached the prince's ears, but he knows that the prince has nothing to do with it.
I don't know whether the prince agreed with King Li's opinion or received the emperor's imperial edict in advance.
Afterwards, the city gate was captured by King Li's army first, and the blood on the ground was cleaned up, and the city gate was cleaned to welcome His Royal Highness Li Wang and his party.
After the army entered the city, the city gate was under the control of King Li, and the officers and soldiers who guarded the city were beaten so hard that they couldn't get out of bed, so they didn't say anything.
Because of the change of the guards, the city gate tower has changed a different temperament. The soldiers are majestic, not angry, and they guard the gate of the Guandong City like door gods. Bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods are not allowed to enter, but they take good care of the people who enter and leave. , with an amiable attitude.
Some people who went in and out of the city couldn't help crying because they didn't need to pay the fee, saying that King Li was coming, but it was dawn!
In the past, King Li had a bad reputation in Guandong City, but this time, he was respected and loved by all the people in Guandong City.
But this was not what caused Gu Qianxue to be surprised.
Gu Qianxue stopped at the square in front of the Yilan Sect Temple next to the city gate, and looked in surprise.
However, the gate of the sacred and luxurious temple was closed tightly, and the so-called believers passed by from time to time, full of people from Nanyue Kingdom, and there were no figures of priests from Chuyan Kingdom with high noses and big eyes.
In other words, near the city gate, no one from Chu Yanguo was seen again.
"Chuyan, did you find anything wrong?" Gu Qianxue was afraid that she was thinking too much, so she asked Chuyan beside her.
Chu Yan replied, "Chu Yanguo is gone." Gu Qianxue's guess was confirmed.
Gu Qianxue handed over the reins to Chu Yan, and personally grabbed a middle-aged man who was poking his head in the temple square, "Excuse me, do you know why this temple is closed?" According to common sense, the door should be open at this time.
The man was also confused, "I don't know, today is supposed to be a day of prayer, but the temple has not been opened, and the priest has not been seen."
A premonition suddenly popped up in Qianxue's heart, and this premonition was just a small sign, "I have another question, are you a follower of Yilan Sect?"
The man looked at Gu Qianxue, and saw that she couldn't see her face clearly with a veil, but her eyes were extremely beautiful. "Well... Hey, how should I put it?" Lowered my voice, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a believer, and I came here to pray to get more rice."
It is easier for a beautiful girl to do things, regardless of ancient China or foreign countries, appearance is the right way.
When Gu Qianxue heard that this person was not a believer, she felt a little relieved, as long as everyone was not bewitched.
The man looked at the closed gate of the temple and sighed, "Rice is so expensive now, and our money has been seized by the government. If the Yilan Sect is really gone, how can we live? Hey... Maybe it's true." out of town."
Qianxue knows that Nanyue people are extremely attached to their home, they love their homeland, and they will not leave easily unless they are desperate.
"Uncle, don't worry, Prince Li is here, and Guandong City will return to its previous appearance."
The man looked at Gu Qianxue in surprise, seeing that he had a good demeanor, he swore that he must know something inside, "Girl, His Royal Highness Li Wang is here..."
Before he finished speaking, Qianxue cast an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I can only say so much, but don't worry, everyone." After speaking, she turned and left without further words.
At this critical and sensitive time, she can't let out any rumors, and she has to make every step, everything depends on King Li.
Returning to Chuyan's side, Qianxue took the reins and got on the horse.
"Princess, what happened to Yilan Sect?" Chu Yan asked curiously after getting on the horse.
Gu Qianxue had long forgotten the temple with its closed gate, "Let's go back first."
After a stick of incense, the two returned to the Ivy House.
Seeing the return of Gu Qianxue and Chuyan, Yao Zhen, Wu Fei and the others were very excited, "Princess, Miss Chuyan, it's great that you are back."
But Chu Yan couldn't help asking curiously, "Princess, what happened to the Yilan sect? Why did the servant have a premonition? Do you know the inside story?"
Gu Qianxue took off the veil, thoughtfully, "It's not enough to know the inside story, but it should be related to an old friend."
840, the prince fell short
