Chapter 951 Death (3rd)
Chu Li was at the side, lazily letting the steed go forward, while his mind was on King Ping.
Why did Princess Ping appear suddenly? Obviously there is Prince Ping's shadow behind it, otherwise, Princess Ping would not have left the palace suddenly.
Prince Ping's situation has always been very embarrassing, and he has made great contributions to the court. Everyone can see the emperor's hesitation and hesitation, and the courtiers are the same.
If the horse were to release Nanshan, there would be no more wars on the border, and Prince Ping's military power could be released. But the situation is getting more and more tense now, the distance is getting stronger and stronger, and the eastward invasion has become a trend. A big battle is a matter of time.
If King Ping's power is not reduced, once a war starts, he will make greater contributions, and he will end up in a situation where there is no reward, so he can only be allowed to be the crown prince; if King Ping's military power is reduced, once a war starts, he will be unable to bear the Dali cavalry.
Once the border is in an emergency, King Ping will have to go out. At that time, King Ping's prestige will be even higher.
But the crown prince that the courtiers prefer is King Jing. In the eyes of the courtiers, King Ping is just a warrior, and it is not a good thing for a warrior to rule the country.
Chu Li walked and thought while walking, unknowingly walked a few miles.
"Boom..." The ground shook and rolled like thunder. A group of knights galloped wildly and quickly caught up.
"It's Uncle Bao Wang." Leng Tao turned to look at the group of knights.
Chu Li signaled the guards to move aside.
As the knights approached, the ground shook even more. Fortunately, this road had been sprinkled with water in advance to moisten the soil, preventing it from being muddy and dusty, so even galloping horses would not see rolling yellow. Dust, very clean.
The knight in charge is Prince Bao.
He was dressed in a purple shirt, galloping on a horse, he did not look old at all, on the contrary he was full of energy, his eyes were like lightning.
"Xi Yuyu..." Prince Bao was about to gallop away, but he usually ignored them juniors, but suddenly reined in.
He stopped his horse suddenly, and the eight knights reined in the steed under his crotch at the same time. The horse neighed endlessly, and stood firmly on the spot, still protecting Prince Bao, showing that the eight guards were extremely skilled and quick to react.
Prince Bao laughed loudly and said, "Chu Li, when did you leave the customs?"
Chu Li clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have seen the prince, I just left the customs today."
"Okay, come here and let's go together!" Prince Bao waved and said with a smile, "There won't be any danger here, so don't protect them!"
"Yes." Chu Li smiled.
He turned around and hugged Xiao Shi, Xue Ningyu, Song Liuying and the others.
"Go." Xiao Shi nodded lightly.
All the girls of Xiao Shi clasped their fists at Prince Bao, and Prince Bao waved his hands to indicate that there is no need to be polite, and he did not intend to speak to them.
Chu Li came up to Prince Bao and said with a smile, "My lord has made great progress in cultivation, congratulations."
"Haha." Prince Bao rode his horse and rode side by side with Chu Li, and said with a smile, "You are retreating, and the old man is not idle!"
The two were chatting and laughing, and the horse trotted under the crotch, and the eight guards closely guarded it.
Leng Tao said indignantly: "Uncle Bao Wang is too biased, and he chose to talk to Chu Li, really!"
"Could it be that Uncle Bao Wang is looking for you?" Leng Qiu squinted at him and hummed, "You don't want to see if you are worthy!"
"Hmph, Director Chu is just an outsider!" Leng Tao said: "It's really unfair to not favor our own people, but to value outsiders more!"
"Your ability is comparable to that of the chief executive!" Leng Qiu said angrily, "If you want to be valued, you must first let yourself be valued by others. What else do you have besides being fat and eating like a pig?" ability?"
"Sister Leng Qiu, this is wrong!" Leng Tao said unconvinced: "My martial arts are still good!"
"Is that going to be a competition?" Leng Qiu snorted.
Leng Tao hurriedly shook his head.
No matter how strong he is, he can't beat Leng Qiu. Leng Qiu's swordsmanship is advancing by leaps and bounds, unstoppable, it's really evil. Could it be that she is really a martial arts prodigy, and her aptitude is so poor? I heard my father said that my aptitude is not bad!
Seeing Xiao Qi staring at Chu Li's back, Xiao Shi said with a smile, "Prince Bao and Chu Li are friends for years."
Xiao Qi nodded, and looked at Chu Li's receding figure.
Chu Li sat on the horse and walked side by side with Uncle Bao Wang, chatting about the affairs of Shendu.
"Madam Ping is also going to attend the grand ceremony this time." Prince Bao shook his head and sighed, "It's troublesome!"
Chu Li said: "Is Princess Ping difficult to get along with?"
"That's not true." Prince Bao shook his head and said, "Although the girl Xinxiang is colder, she still has a good heart, but she doesn't like to deal with people. She would rather stay in the mansion to grow flowers and plants, and her identity is too sensitive. King Jing's daughter-in-law will also come, and then..."
He said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I'm not afraid of the two of them arguing, neither of them is of a quarrelsome nature, but I'm afraid that the guards will make trouble, or those with ulterior motives will provoke and cause trouble among them."
"The two concubines will definitely restrain the servants," Chu Li said.
"I hope so, this is really a hard job, but Brother Huang insists on me!" Prince Bao said with a wry smile, "He thought it was a beautiful job."
"The emperor is taking care of the prince. Let the prince be in charge of the Heavenly Mansion in the future?"
"You see it too?"
"The emperor's meaning is already obvious."
"Alas..." Prince Bao shook his head: "I really don't want to be the official of the Heavenly Mansion and offend people."
"Then it's up to the prince." Chu Li said with a smile: "The emperor thinks it's suitable, that's enough."
"I can't help myself!" Prince Bao sighed: "Sometimes I envy you. Although you are the manager, you are free and easy. If you want to retreat, you can retreat. No one can control it. It's not like me. I am entangled in mundane things!"
Everyone knows the situation of King An's Mansion, the first-rank manager, King An has nothing to do with him.
Chu Li laughed.
The two talked and walked more than ten miles unconsciously.
The sky suddenly brightened, as if there was another round of the sun, a light gate appeared in the sky, vaguely surrounded by voiceless sounds, a white light shot up from Shendu, shot into the light gate, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The light gate slowly dissipated, and the sky returned to normal, as if it was just an illusion.
Chu Li frowned, his face darkened.
Prince Bao also lowered his face, gritted his teeth and hummed: "The Holy Cult of Light!"
Chu Li said: "There must be no good things where they appear!"
"Damn it!" Prince Bao snorted and said, "This person has ascended to heaven and completed his meritorious deeds. I don't know who to assassinate again!"
Chu Li nodded.
In this situation, it can be inferred that it should be the assassination by the disciples of the Guangming Sacred Cult. As for whether they were successful, they were already more than ten miles away from the gods.
Prince Bao rubbed the center of his brows: "My restlessness may have something to do with this prince."
Chu Li's face changed slightly, he frowned and said, "Isn't it brother Shoushi?"
Prince Bao turned his head and shouted: "Jia He, go back and have a look and find out what happened!"
"Yes, my lord." A middle-aged guard clasped his fists in reply, jumped off his horse, and disappeared before their eyes like a gust of wind in the blink of an eye.
Prince Bao said: "There will be news soon."
Chu Li said: "I hope there will be no more storms!"
He felt strange, logically speaking, Guangming Shengjiao is now doing its best to deal with Dali, and it is not in the mood to deal with Daji, so how could it cause trouble again?
After a while, Jia He appeared in front of the horse like a gust of wind, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I found out clearly, it was Princess Ping who was assassinated and died just after leaving the mansion!"
"Assassinated?" Prince Bao said in a deep voice.
Jia He was a middle-aged man with mediocre appearance and medium stature who would not attract attention if thrown in the crowd. He said with a serious expression: "Princess Ping was assassinated and died."
