cross princess

Disguised as a man, Lu Meng brought a dozen guards and headed straight to Beimo.

The group of people drove for seven or eight days, and even the horses couldn't bear it, so Lu Meng had no choice but to rest on the spot.

"Puffpuffpuff~"

what sound?

Lu Meng looked up.

Yang Yan, dressed in black, was hanging upside down from a tree, making faces at Lu Meng.

"I'm going, why are you here?" Lu Meng's voice was loud, and a dozen guards immediately picked up their weapons and looked at Yang Yan vigilantly.

"Put it down, my own!" Lu Meng stepped forward and pulled off Yang Yan's black scarf, "Why are you dressed like this?"

Yang Yan came down from the tree and pulled Lu Meng over mysteriously, "I risked my life to save you!"

"Save me?" Lu Meng was a little confused, "I'm fine! By the way, how is Xiao Jiu? Is it true that Qi Cheng was assassinated?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Yang Yan flicked his pigtails in a calm manner, revealing his eight white teeth, "Qi Cheng was really assassinated, but it wasn't us who did it. Ninth brother originally planned to kill him during the war." He did it when he was about to rest, who knew that in the middle of the battle, Qi Sheng was assassinated inexplicably, even we were very surprised! Moreover, the news of his injury was spread out for some reason, and now the morale of the army is very high. Chaos, Beimo also took advantage of the victory and killed a lot of our people! Brother Nine is in charge of the overall situation now, if he can't come out to pick you up, let me come!"

"What does that have to do with saving me?"

"Of course!" Yang Yanli said bluntly: "Ninth Brother suspects that there are spies in the army! Moreover, he has sent you secret letters several times, but he has not heard back from you..."

"Wait, you said Xiao Jiu wrote me a letter?" Lu Meng wondered, "But I didn't receive any of it!"

"No, I don't feel at ease if I don't see Xiao Jiu, so hurry up and take me to see him!"

"Okay!" Yang Yan got on his horse and pulled Lu Meng past him. He didn't care that the horse was already half-tired, and pinched his feet, "Drive!"

Beimo Pingning City

Qi Cheng was lying on the bed, not only did he not lose consciousness, on the contrary he was quite awake.

Nine Kings sat on one side, while He Zhangli and Green King stood on one side.

When Lu Meng broke in, they were still discussing the war.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" The Green King was surprised, looking at Lu Meng and then at the Nine Kings.

"General He, the battle has been discussed, you should go out first!"

"Yes!" Before leaving, He Zhangli glanced at Lu Meng, which made people palpitate.

"What's the matter?" Lu Meng hesitated whether to take out the bottle of so-called antidote.

"I don't know." Jiu Wang looked at Qi Cheng with a wry smile, but said to Lu Meng, "The imperial grandmother should have asked you to bring the antidote, have you brought it?"

Lu Meng nodded and took out the antidote from her bosom.

The Green King on the side took it and poured out a pill from the bottle, "Does the Emperor want to take it?"

Qi Cheng reluctantly nodded and swallowed the water.

"what is going on?"

"We don't know yet!" Green King replied dejectedly, "We came here earlier, won several battles, and the situation has stabilized. Suddenly, a bunch of assassins rushed out and shouted to kill, not only the emperor suffered. Injured, Ninth Brother is also injured!"

"What?" Lu Meng was so frightened that her heart thumped. Although Jiu Wang was sitting there, she couldn't help but turn pale and rushed to Jiu Wang's side, "Where is the injury? Is it serious? Is it poisonous?" ?”

The Green King coughed and signaled Lu Meng to look at Qi Cheng, but Qi Cheng didn't seem to see anything.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jiu Wang patted Lu Meng's hand with a smile, "The strange thing about this assassination is that we didn't do it, but it happened at the right time. If it wasn't for our constant protection, I’m afraid I’ll really hit the road!”

Qi Cheng snorted coldly at this moment, but didn't say anything.

The Nine Kings then continued, "This shows that besides us, there are third-party forces in the army, and they are not small! I originally wrote several letters to you, wanting you to prepare early, but I found out a few days ago After sending out the body of the messenger, I realized that I might be robbed! So I simply asked Qi Cheng to generously deliver the letter to the emperor's grandmother and let you come over."

"Then this antidote..."

Jiu Wang shook his head, "That's not an antidote. The poison in Qi Cheng's body is very strange, and the military doctors are helpless. We don't even know what the poison is and how to make an antidote? This is just an ordinary solution, and we can only suppress it." pressure toxicity."

"Can you find out who did it?"

Jiu Wang tapped the table with his slender fingers, "Although there is no evidence, I have a suspicion."

"Who?"

"He Zhangli!" Qi Cheng spat out three words angrily.

"It's him?" Lu Meng was puzzled, "Isn't he your confidant?"

"Mengmeng, do you still remember Lin Qizheng?" Jiu Wang suddenly asked, Lu Meng nodded silly, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with Master Lin?"

"If I'm not wrong, Lin Qizheng and He Zhangli are colluding secretly." There was a half-smile on Jiu Wang's pretty face, as if he was happy because he saw Qi Cheng's joke, "He Maofei gave it to him before." We provided a lot of information, and I connected the information together, and it is not difficult to find that Lin Qizheng's money comes from the He family! As for the He family, they have more than one smuggling line behind their backs, and they have a faint connection with Beimo."

Qi Cheng's face was extremely ugly!

It's not his fault either, Yang Yu, who he thought to be his confidant, turned out to be a member of the Nine Kings, and the He family, whom he had always trusted, communicated with Bei Mo and ignored him!

This emperor really failed!

"Then why..." Lu Meng remembered that He Zhangli was still standing when he came in.

"The situation is stronger than people." Nine Kings sighed, "At first we didn't notice him. During the conflict with Beimo, General Yang led his troops deep into the hinterland of Beimo. It was originally agreed that we would drag Beimo for him later. Most of the troops were doing backup work at the same time, but Qi Cheng's assassination happened suddenly, and he was publicized again. The morale of the army was unstable, and Yang Yu's army was left in the hinterland. Go pick you up, now in Pingning City are all He Jiajun, we have to restrain our temper to deal with them!"

"If it wasn't for him still worrying about the emperor's occasional waking hours, and the fact that the Nine Kings and I are here, I'm afraid he would have killed him a long time ago!" The Green King said bitterly: "It's not much better now! We are equivalent to being under house arrest here. Hateful, really hateful!"

Lu Meng was taken aback. She didn't understand military affairs, and she couldn't offer any constructive suggestions, so she could only ask anxiously: "Is there no other way? It won't happen that apart from Zhang, Yang, and the He family, we have nothing to do." Are there any other soldiers?"

You guys are too ridiculous, right?

"Actually...there are soldiers from the Jiangbei camp." Qi Cheng struggled to get up and leaned against the bed rail, panting with just these two movements, "Originally private soldiers were not allowed by the imperial court, but they have been sent out in the past few dynasties Some things made the generals respect themselves later, and it has been the same until now! Only the soldiers and horses of the Jiangbei Camp are the most special existence, and they are the protection left by the emperors of the Southern Xia Dynasty! But they also have shortcomings. They only obey the orders of tiger talismans, even if it is the will of my own mouth, they may not obey!"

Qi Cheng was so angry that he pounded on the bed board again and again, saying so many words in one go, coupled with his anger, a mouthful of blood spewed from his throat.

The Green King hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the blood from Qi Cheng's mouth, while the Ninth King held Lu Meng in his arms and turned her head to prevent her from seeing this scene.

"What about the Tiger Talisman? Don't you even bring such an important thing with you, Your Majesty?" It was also the first time that the Green King heard this kind of Xinmi, and upon hearing this, he despised Qi Cheng.

Uh... Lu Meng's fingertips touched the cold Tiger Talisman, and she smiled wryly.

Qi Cheng shook his head, his complexion was a little bad, "It's not that I didn't bring it, but that my father passed away so suddenly that I didn't hand over the Tiger Talisman."

"This... this is... hey, it's all because the father left so suddenly!" The Green King sighed.

Taking out the Tiger Talisman at this time, will Qi Cheng be mad at death?

Lu Meng secretly glanced at Qi Cheng, hesitated and pulled out the tiger talisman on her chest, and said in a low voice, "It's not that he left too suddenly and didn't leave it to you, he left it to me!"

Qi Cheng's eyes widened, "Why?"

The Nine Kings were also pleasantly surprised. He put the Tiger Talisman in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, "It seems to be real! I saw the Tiger Talisman when I was young, that's it!"

Lu Meng took off the Tiger Talisman and put it on the table, "Didn't Your Majesty summon me in the Cuju competition? At that time, he handed the Tiger Talisman to me! He also told me to keep the Nine Kings! "

The faces of Qi Cheng, Jiu Wang, and Lu Wang froze at the same time.

"Is this really what the father said?" The voice of the Nine Kings trembled slightly, and he picked up the tiger talisman and stroked it non-stop.

"En." Lu Meng briefly explained what happened at the beginning. Naturally, things about this world and about the former emperor being an intelligent NPC cannot be said.

After speaking, there was a silence in the room.

"Hehe!" The Green King spoke out first, his voice was very lonely, "It really is so partial!"

Qi Cheng stared at the Nine Kings with complicated eyes, then suddenly fell heavily and closed his eyes.

Lu Meng was taken aback. Neither the Nine Kings nor the Green King responded, as if they were used to it.

After a while, the Nine Kings returned to normal, "Mengmeng, with the Tiger Talisman you brought, we are sure to win this battle!"

"Then Qi Cheng..." Lu Meng looked at Qi Cheng with his eyes closed tightly, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Thousands of emotions surged up, but it seemed blank instead.

The Nine Kings learned that in the first emperor's heart, he was the only one, and he could fly when he was in a good mood. If he didn't take these setbacks seriously, Lu Meng was actually a bit apprehensive.Looking at him like this, if the old emperor is not dead, why not form a father and son CP?

"Qi Cheng's poison has been dragging on for more than ten days, even if he returns to the palace, I'm afraid..." Jiu Wang sighed and shook his head, his eyes complicated, "I always wanted his life, but when he was really dying I can't bear it. That's fine, but I didn't do it myself, maybe I can deceive myself a bit!"

"Don't think about these things." The Green King is more honest, he doesn't care about Qi Cheng's life and death at all, "Although the Tiger Talisman is in hand, the Jiangbei Army is still in Jiangbei! How can we let him come over?"

"I'm afraid it's..." Nine Kings looked at Lu Meng, Lu Meng understood, they were almost all under house arrest here, of course the only one who could go was himself!

Just as he was about to take the tiger amulet, the Nine Kings took the tiger amulet back lightly. Lu Meng was surprised, "Didn't I go? Why didn't you give me the tiger amulet?"

"It's too risky to go to Jiangbei alone, not to mention that you and He Zhangli have met face to face. After you leave, there is no guarantee that he will not lead troops to catch up with you and kill you. How could I let you do such a risky thing!"

"But……"

"Let me go!" Yang Yan volunteered to stand up, "I have recently made a small achievement in lightness, so I saved a horse by letting me go!"

"Yang Yan..."

"Ah, let him go!" Impatiently, the Green King grabbed the tiger amulet and handed it to Yang Yan, "Don't be sensational, we'll be fine!"

"That's right." Lu Meng also smiled and said, "Yang Yan is very fateful, how could something happen."

Yang Yan raised his eyebrows, threw the tiger amulet high, and then turned around handsomely to catch the tiger amulet from the air, "Behind every successful thing Brother Nine does, there must be such a bitter Yang Yan like me! Don't talk to you guys, I'm going!"

As soon as the words fell, Yang Yan disappeared.

Lu Meng was stunned, this lightness skill really improved!
