Overwhelming mountains and rivers

Hearing Liu Feng's question, Chu Xuanqing sighed, "I don't know why, but I always feel that things are a little strange."

"Chu Xuanzhao was introduced into Yingzhou by the lord, and he was intercepted and killed by the officials of Yingzhou according to the lord's wishes. Isn't all this just as the lord planned? Things are going well, right?" Liu Feng didn't understand, everything was with the lord. The original plan was similar, why did the prince react like this?

"It's because things went so smoothly that I feel more and more uneasy." Chu Xuanqing let out a breath slowly, "Forget it, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Ever since he knew that Chu Xuanzhao was acting, he had always regarded Chu Xuanzhao as a hidden danger, and he never wanted to get rid of him.

He even tried to force him to reveal his true nature, not because he insisted on Chu Xuanzhao to stand up and fight against him, but because he felt that the hidden Chu Xuanzhao was even more ignorant and disturbing.

Maybe it was because of Chu Xuanzhao's ignorance that he invisibly deepened his fear of him?Jingjiwei said that he saw Chu Xuanzhao Luoya died with his own eyes, but he felt uneasy. Is it because he was afraid of him that he dared not believe this fact easily?Maybe, it's just that he thinks Chu Xuanzhao too much?

"Forget it, it's useless to think too much, let's see what happens next." Chu Xuanqing made up her mind and stopped worrying about her uneasiness.

…………

"Lord Inspector, the people sent by the lower officials have sent back news that King Xin was besieged and fell off the cliff at the Death Cliff, and has died!"

"Oh? Besieged? Is it someone we sent?" The middle-aged man in an official uniform on the bamboo recliner immediately straightened his upper body when he heard the sound, and spoke eagerly.

Liu Mao, the governor of Yingzhou, and most of the officials of Yingzhou belonged to him. He covered the sky with one hand in Yingzhou, and he was a veritable emperor of the land.

"No. Our people were hiding there. Before they could make a move, the people of King Xin were intercepted and killed by a group of men in black who rushed out suddenly. All the people he led were killed, and King Xin himself was forced into the cliff of death. , he was seriously injured in the fight and was shot down to the bottom of the cliff, and my lord also knows that there is no way he can survive the cliff.”

"Death Cliff? It seems that before we make a move, some people can't wait. Don't look at the existence in Yingzhou that is called comparable to Yama's Difu, the imperial court is the place that really eats people without spitting out their bones."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Liu Mao glanced at Kageshu Sigonglang, who was kneeling at the head, "I don't mean anything. The affairs of the court are a pool of muddy water, and you and I don't need to understand. If you can't see someone who believes in the king, it must be at least a Lord, we don't need to worry about so much, as long as the king is dead, what does it matter who killed him?"

"However, King Xin is the prince after all. Once the emperor pursues King Xin's death, will the person who killed King Xin push this matter to us?"

"So what about pushing? The reason why Suoming Cliff is called Suoming Cliff is because it has the ability to kill people. Countless people die on Suoming Cliff every year. Even if it is King Xin, how can it be possible that he will not make accidental mistakes? Maybe?"

Liu Mao had planned to kill King Xin a long time ago, and pushed his death to an accident. Although he did not do it himself now, the result was not much worse after all. Will go to war for it.

Moreover, even if the emperor really had doubts, Yingzhou was easy to defend but hard to attack, and the court could easily do nothing about it.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right."

…………

In a remote and quiet courtyard in Yingzhou City.

Shen Qingjun had already arrived at the branch of Chenyin Pavilion in Yingzhou, and was sitting in the courtyard, waiting for news from Chu Xuanzhao.

"Master."

The subordinate in black knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Qingjun.

"What about people?"

Shen Qingjun looked down at him.

"Outside the door."

"Let him in."

"Yes." The man in black stepped back quickly.

"Qingjun!" A man dressed in killer black and holding a pole-shaped blade came in from outside, and when he saw Shen Qingjun sitting in the yard, he couldn't help but smile.

It was Chu Xuanzhao who came.

Seeing Shen Qingjun waiting in the courtyard, Chu Xuanzhao couldn't help recalling their previous plans.

—————Separation line of the past—————

At that time, Chu Xuanzhao asked Shen Qingjun what he meant by coming out with great fanfare. Shen Qingjun did not answer, but asked an unrelated question, "It is said that your mother and concubine Xiao Guifei was a member of the Yingzhou Concubine before entering the palace. Renshi?"

Chu Xuanzhao didn't know what he meant when he asked about this matter at this time, but he answered honestly, "Yes. My grandfather's ancestral home is Yingzhou. Yingzhou, Qingjun, you also know it? That's the one that can make people go anywhere. Back to Yingzhou."

"'Yan Luowang of the underworld, the cliff corridor in the world', I naturally know Yingzhou." Shen Qingjun fixed his eyes on Chu Xuanzhao, which made Chu Xuanzhao's heart agitated when he saw him.

He only heard him speak slowly, "Although Yingzhou has always been controlled by officials, the court has nothing to do, but if you want to come to the famous landlord of Qianjilou, I'm afraid you know a lot about Yingzhou, right?"

"Yes, Yingzhou also has a branch of Qianji Building." Chu Xuanzhao did not hide anything, and said directly, "According to the news in the building, Yingzhou is headed by the governor of Yingzhou, and there are dozens of officials of all sizes. , The common people are miserable because of this. The building has already obtained most of their evidence, and if there is a chance in the future, we must not let this group of corrupt officials go."

"I'll give you this chance." Shen Qingjun smiled faintly, and rubbed the white jade hole flute on his waist.

"Huh? Qingjun, you?" Chu Xuanzhao knew that he had a plan, but he still didn't ask the end, "Qingjun, I believe in you."

…………

It turned out that the whole incident in Yingzhou, from the very beginning, was a game carefully prepared by Shen Qingjun in order to push Chu Xuanzhao in front of others.

Earlier, Shen Qingjun confirmed from Chu Xuanzhao's mouth that he had grasped the situation of the officials in Yingzhou through the Qianji Building, so he decided to let Yingzhou take action and make Chu Xuanzhao famous.

He first asked his subordinate Feige, who was secretly guarding him in the palace, to send a letter to the Yingzhou Branch Pavilion, and let the people in the pavilion pretend to be Yingzhou officials to send an urgent document to the post station. However, the news of Yingzhou has long been blocked by the governor and others. The people in the station only obey the orders of the governor.

The people in the pavilion secretly replaced the Yingzhou postmen and sent them to the next station in person. Once the postmen passed the Yingzhou station, they would be whipped by postmen from other places to deliver the documents to the emperor day and night.

King Teng had long wanted to force Chu Xuanzhao out, so naturally he would not let this opportunity go easily, and might even want to take this opportunity to kill Chu Xuanzhao.

After receiving the document, the emperor sent Chu Xuanzhao and fifty Gyeonggi guards to Yingzhou because of the guidance of King Teng.

Therefore, the reason why Chu Xuanzhao was so shocked when he heard Yingzhou was not because King Teng suggested to let him go to Yingzhou, but because everything from the documents from Yingzhou to what King Teng said was the same as what Shen Qingjun had with him before. What I mentioned is exactly right.

…………

"Mr. Qing, I am really convinced. My Mr. Qing is really good at predicting things!" Chu Xuanzhao hurried to Yazhuxuan that day, his face was a little excited.

My light gentleman?

Shen Qingjun couldn't help frowning.

Seeing his frowning movement, Chu Xuanzhao realized that he was excited just now, and seemed to call out the name he had said countless times in his heart.He licked his lips uncomfortably, "I mean, our Mr. Mo Yuan is really good at predicting things."

"Where is there any real predictability like a god, the so-called predictability like a god is just the result of some planning." Shen Qingjun no longer obsessed with his title, but talked about his own opinion.

"You don't know, what Chu Xuanqing said in the court today is exactly the same as what you said to me before. After I pretended to be difficult according to your order, he really proposed to ask my father to send me Jingjiwei."

"Yes. Yingzhou and his party, I will go with you."

"Well, that's what I intend too."

Although he knew that Yingzhou and his party were not very safe, he was still unwilling to leave Shen Qingjun alone in the palace.Shen Qingjun is not a person who can be protected in a safe place. He is a strong man, even stronger than himself. Even if he loves him, he will respect him and will not use worry in the name of , interfering with his decision.

"Young Lord."

"Ok?"

"I don't quite understand. Why do you bring them with you even though you know that King Teng bought them? Isn't this giving them a chance?"

"Although we have given them a chance, an enemy that can be seen is always easier to deal with than an enemy that cannot be seen. During this visit to Yingzhou, King Teng will definitely not let you go easily, and maybe he will send someone to assassinate you. I don’t know when he will send someone, who he will send, and it’s impossible to guard against this trip, it’s better to take the initiative to hand him the opportunity, we will decide the person together, we know this well, so we can take better precautions.”

"I see."

"Besides, if things are put to good use, so are people. The greater use of these thirty Jingji guards is yet to come. After all, I won't let them go this trip in vain." Shen Qingjun clasped her hands lightly On the desktop, there is a faint look in his eyes.

"What other plans do you have?" Chu Xuanzhao was curious.After today's incident in the court hall, he admired Shen Qingjun very much, thinking that Shen Qingjun would not let the thirty Gyeonggi guards hinder him, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

"Even if there is no Gyeonggi Guard, the officials in Yingzhou will not let you easily pass through the Zheya Corridor. It is so easy for the thirty Gyeonggi Guards to sit on the sidelines or hold back. Now that you are here, don't even think about retreating."

"what do you mean?"

"The Zheya Corridor is dangerous, and there are Yingzhou officials intercepting it. Even if you and I can pass, we will definitely suffer damage. Besides, in that case, even if we pass, what can we do to those officials?"

"Then what do we do? How do we ensure safety along the way?"

Shen Qingjun smiled faintly, "Of course the dead are the safest.

"The dead are the safest?" Chu Xuanzhao didn't quite understand what he meant.

"Of course. No matter whether it's King Teng or the officials of Yingzhou, no one will intercept and kill a dead person." Shen Qingjun said, "Tomorrow I will take the first step. You will meet with Jingjiwei before setting off."

"Well, good." Chu Xuanzhao naturally listened to him.

"When the time comes, you'll be like this..."

"Okay, okay, Qingjun, your method really kills two birds with one stone! I will do as you say, and you should be careful yourself."
