Chapter 211 Leaving Beijing

"This morning, Prince Chu's Ah Qing left the capital?"

In the imperial study room of the palace, light green smoke curls up from the small holes of the incense burner, releasing a fragrant and fresh fragrance.

Just now, when Li Yao was still angry about Li Heng's performance today, Liu Jin's report surprised Li Yao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, many people saw Ah Qing walking out of the city gate this morning and quickly flying towards Lingzhou." Liu Jin lowered his head and said.

"I was still wondering why Lao Wu didn't take Ah Qing with him today. It turns out he sent Ah Qing back." Li Yao nodded slightly, but the anger in his brows remained for a long time.

"Liu Jin, besides you, who else knows about the news leaked by the mission yesterday?"

"Your Majesty, because the news is very important and time is tight, I personally passed the note to Mr. Lu who was about to go to the palace, and no one else contacted him." Liu Jin also showed a sharp look in his eyes.

He knew what Li Yao meant.

Li Yao recalled yesterday that only Lu Xun, Lin Shufan and Li Yuan were present. Plus Liu Jin, only five people in the entire palace knew about it.

Who passed it to Li Heng?

If it was Li Yuan, Li Yao would be relieved, but is he afraid?

Who could that be...

There was a hint of coldness in Li Yao's eyes, and he walked back and forth in the imperial study room with his hands behind his back, glancing at the respectful Liu Jin from time to time.

Liu Jinnai was promoted from the palace by himself, and he was the most trusted person in the palace. His status and power came from him, and he could not betray him.

Li Yao still has great faith in Liu Jin. Nowadays, expert factories are running rampant in Kyoto. Many officials hate Liu Jin. If he says a word, Liu Jin will die.

Therefore, Liu Jin did not dare to betray himself.

Li Yao paused, thinking about Lin Shufan and Lu Xun again in his eyes.

But the daughters of Prime Minister Lin and Lu Xun had already married into the harem, and there was no reason to betray him.

"Liu Jin, do you think Li Heng may have planted someone in the post house?" Li Yao thought for a while, and there was another possibility.

Liu Jin hesitated for a while, hesitated to speak, but still nodded:

"This...maybe.

Your Majesty, I think it is very possible that the King of Chu informed Li Heng. "

"Lao Wu's motive is indeed very big, but he should have a sense of measure if he can so obviously suspect something about him." Li Yao didn't know why, but he still had a little trust in Li Yuan in his heart, subconsciously thinking that Li Yuan would not After doing such a thing, he immediately waved his hand.

"You go down first. Please pay attention to the situation of Prime Minister Lin and Lu Xun during the recent period."

"Yes!" Liu Jin lowered his head, bowed his waist and silently exited.

Li Yao looked at the map of the Yu Dynasty and thought about it in his mind.

To the west, Danzhou Town Guofu fought with King Xuan.

Qingzhou is in chaos from all sides, including Qingzhou forces, Chu Junyan forces, Yanzhou Alliance, and the imperial army that has arrived.

In Fengzhou in the south, at the beginning, King Ming made great progress and defeated the Fengzhou Alliance. In just a few months, he had occupied half of Fengzhou. However, as the battle progressed, although the Fengzhou Alliance was retreating steadily, King Ming's attack also slowed down. Come down.

Moreover, it is said that the counselor whom King Ming attaches great importance to is dying.

When the fifth brother leaves and the identity of the governor of Huanzhou is revealed, Lingzhou, Huanzhou and Yizhou no longer need to worry.

And King Yu is now suppressed by the Liangzhou Alliance...

Li Yao's eyes were dark, and he finally focused on Lianzhou!

……………………

"You said Miss Chu King Aqing has left Beijing and returned to Lingzhou today?"

In Prince Heng's Mansion, Li Heng asked in surprise.

"That's right, Your Highness, the city gate guard saw it with his own eyes. As soon as he left the city gate, he took off towards the east."

The speaker was wearing a dark blue robe, and his chest was embroidered with a night scene of dark clouds covering the moon.

Jiang Jingfeng, the former commander of the secret guards.

Since Li Yao conquered the secret guards, he split the position of commander of the secret guards into four major commanders, and he is now just one of them.

Jiang Jingfeng was leaning towards Li Heng in his plan, and Li Yao was trying to split his power.

Jiang Jingfeng completely surrendered to Li Heng.

Next to Li Heng, Dong Ke had a look of shock in his eyes. He did not expect that Jiang Jingfeng, the former commander of the secret guard, turned out to be one of His Highness.

Li Heng saw Dong Ke's shock from the corner of his eye and smiled inwardly. Jiang Jingfeng's arrival today was deliberately made known to Dong Ke. It was time to show off the tip of the iceberg of his strength to this great talent.

Jiang Jingfeng glanced at Dong Ke next to him, without making any waves in his eyes. As for Dong Ke's identity, Jiang Jingfeng had already found out the identity of his eighteenth generation ancestor.

"It should be that Emperor Yao planned to declare King Chu as the governor of Huanzhou, which made King Chu anxious, so he asked Miss Aqing to return to Lingzhou first to make arrangements in advance." Jiang Jingfeng's voice was deep.

"It seems that Fifth Brother is also anxious." Li Heng smiled slightly.

"Commander Jiang, you used to follow the late emperor. Do you know any clues about the talents who suddenly appeared under the command of King Chu?"

The speaker was none other than Dong Ke. He was not silent at the side. Since His Highness asked him to deal with Jiang Jingfeng, it was enough to show His Highness's trust in him. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved. He could only repay His Highness with his talents!

Li Heng's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he turned to Jiang Jingfeng.

If Jiang Jingfeng knew some of his father's methods and hidden talents, could he also conquer them?

But they saw Jiang Jingfeng's helpless look.

"Your Highness, there have been many people who have been secretly inquiring about King Chu's talents, but I really don't know that the late emperor did not go through the secret guards for many things."

"That's it." Li Heng felt slightly disappointed in his heart.

However, Dong Ke smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I think this is a happy event. Since Commander Jiang doesn't know about it, Xiang Lin and the others don't know about it, and Emperor Yao may not know about those talents."

"Haha, indeed!" Li Heng's disappointment disappeared instantly after hearing this. Li Yao had a much greater advantage than him. Thinking that he hadn't even found it, he felt much better.

"Then what should we do now? His Highness's reputation in Kyoto is getting higher and higher." Jiang Jingfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Dong Ke, what do you think of our next step?" Li Heng looked at Dong Ke.

"The Emperor Yao is not scary, but Prime Minister Lin and Shangshu Lu are scary. I think His Highness is going to attack them first!" Dong Ke smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Li Heng's thoughts.

Li Heng's eyes became more and more appreciative, "Commander Jiang, what do you think of this great talent?"

"I have long understood Mr. Dong's talent." Jiang Jingfeng nodded kindly to Dong Ke.

"In the future, you will help each other and act secretly. If you want to cut off Li Yao's arm first!" Li Heng said with a smile, a cold light rising in his eyes.

"I am willing to serve His Highness!"

The two of them responded at the same time.

…………………………

The next three days in Kyoto were turbulent, with all kinds of praises and comments about Emperor Yao and Emperor Heng.

The people cheered for the departure of the dynasty mission, but the court officials were not very happy. There was even a feeling that a storm was coming. In the eyes of the officials, when Li Heng stepped forward that day, he gave everyone a vague sense of clarity. The feeling of resisting Li Yao.

According to rumors, the reason why King Chu returned to Beijing was because Emperor Yao promised King Chu to reward him with the position of governor of Huanzhou!

This news shocked all the uninformed Kyoto families.

Governor of Huanzhou?

Is Your Majesty crazy?

Or is King Chu crazy?

Rumors spread all of a sudden!

But Li Yuan has been staying quietly in his house these past few days, letting rumors fly.

On the third day, a coachman drove a carriage and slowly left Kyoto. In the carriage, Li Yuan looked through the curtains at the city gate and saw Li Heng smiling at him and waving his hand to see him off.

Li Yuan responded with a smile. He had learned a lot in the past few days. Li Heng had received secret help from King Yu and King Ming, and all their hidden secrets in Kyoto were used by him one by one.

The reason why Li Yao announced his identity as the governor of Huanzhou so quickly was not only to make himself feel uneasy, but also seemed to have the shadow of King Yu in it...

"Your Highness, won't General Fan be with us?"

Xiao Yezi was sitting at the small table, making his favorite tea for Li Yuan.

"He went to the Fan family. When he came back, he was a powerful Tiangang man."

Li Yuan lowered the car curtain and chuckled.

"Really, then General Fan got his wish!" Little Ye Zi also showed a happy smile.

In the carriage, there was another person who looked similar to Xiao Yezi and had the same body shape sitting in the corner. His face was pale and he looked up at Li Yuan with deep gratitude.

He was a poor man, his family was poor, he was seriously ill, and he was already waiting to die.

But unexpectedly, I met a noble man and bought his life with a thousand taels of silver. I was finally able to contribute to the family.

He closely watched Xiao Zi's every move. His Highness the King of Chu told him that before leaving Zhongzhou, he should imitate Xiao Zi's movements and habits, which were 70-80% similar.

At the same time, the news that Li Yao issued an order in the court to appoint the King of Chu as the Governor of Huanzhou spread instantly, confirming the fact!

It detonated the entire Kyoto in an instant and spread to all directions at an unimaginable speed!

On the same day, Ah Qing had returned to Lingzhou, Linglie Mansion.

Found Li Si.

In Linglie Capital City, when Li Yuan left, Li Si stopped taking the next step towards Lingyun Mansion and instead transferred to Linglie Mansion, catching all the officials of Linglie Mansion by surprise.

Now more than a month has passed, and all plans are being implemented. With Li Si's terrifying methods, he has initially taken control of the entire six counties of Linglie Mansion.

In Linglie Capital City, Li Si looked at the dusty Ah Qing with a smile.

"Miss Ah Qing has killed two nobles with one sword and greatly promoted the name of Prince Chu's palace. I am so happy and congratulated!"

When Ah Qing saw Li Si, his eyes were shocked!

Li Si was dressed in solemn black robes and a miter, with a faint smile on his face, but he gave Ah Qing a very special feeling.

This feeling is very strange. Ah Qing slightly raised his head and looked at the sky, as if something was gathering in the distance and gradually covering the sky, and this gathering point was Li Si!

It seems like this piece of sky is going to be blocked!

Very thin, but very vast!

"His Highness asked me to give this to you."

Ah Qing nodded and handed the letter to Li Si.

When he heard that it was a letter from Li Yuan, Li Si looked solemn, opened the letter and read it carefully.

Li Si's face became more and more serious. After a while, Li Si closed the letter and said to Ah Qing:

"Miss Ah Qing, I understand what Your Highness means. You can go back and rest first."

"No, I'll leave right away."

Ah Qing shook her head and refused. There was a sense of urgency in her heart and she didn't want to waste extra time.

"That's fine, Miss Ah Qing, go early and come back early!"

Li Si nodded, feeling kinder to Ah Qing in his heart, and did not hold back.

"Um!"

With a response, Ah Qing immediately turned around and left, turning into a sword light and flying towards Yuanguang.

"Zhao Gao, from now on, the people in the trap will obey my orders!"

Li Si raised the letter in his hand and spoke to the empty lobby.

In the corner, a dark red figure slowly emerged, and Zhao Gao's narrow eyes clearly saw what Li Yuan wrote in the letter.

He nodded slowly, bowed slightly, and said with a hint of respect in his unique tone:

"Yes, Master Li!"

"Now you inform Jia Wenhe and Yuwen Chengdu to secretly come to Lingyun Mansion. Xun Yu is in charge of Lingrong Mansion and in the name of Prince Chu's Mansion, ask Ma Chao to send troops into Lingyun Mansion to take charge."

"yes."

"Also, you need to leave Lingzhou immediately and go to Huanzhou in person to find Xu Fengwu and Jiang Gan."

Zhao Gao suddenly raised his head.

Li Si's expression did not change at all, he looked at Zhao Gao quietly with deep eyes, and threw the photo stone left by Li Yuan to Zhao Gao.

"Time is pressing, His Highness will tell you the details."

Zhao Gao took the image stone and his eyes were shocked.

"Go!"

Zhao Gao's figure disappeared instantly.

"Come here, call General Xu over!"

Li Si thought for a moment, and then shouted to the guard outside the door.

"yes."

Half an hour later, the burly Xu Chu strode over.

"Master Li, what do you want from me?"

Xu Chu walked into the lobby and asked Li Si with a solemn expression and clasped his fists.

Facing Li Si, Xu Chu's carefree personality restrained him.

There is an extra kind of rules and restraints, but unfortunately brains are all muscles. There are some rules, but not many.

Li Si sat on the main seat, with the tea cup in his hand exuding a faint fragrance of tea, and quietly looked at Xu Chu, who was not wearing armor.

Xu Chu's heart trembled, and he stood up straight, a drop of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

During this period, Li Si cast a great shadow on Xu Chu, and he was treated obediently.

When he first stepped into Ling Lie Mansion, he had to be vigilant about everything. Li Si ordered all soldiers to keep their clothes and armor on and be ready for battle at all times before taking control of the two mansions.

Now that a month has passed, Xu Chu has relaxed a little, and now he is caught by Li Si!

Xu Chu was stared at by Li Si's calm eyes. He resisted the urge to escape and stammered:

"Sir, I just patrolled the city gates and felt a little hot. I just went back to take a rest. When I heard your call, I came here in a hurry. I forgot that I was not wearing my armor. But don't worry, the soldiers at the city gate did not see that I was not wearing it. Looks like armor."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Chu straightened his chest and raised his head.

"I always bear in mind Master Li's teachings. A general must set an example..."

"Okay, I'll give you a task." Li Si interrupted Xu Chu's intention to continue.

Xu Chu's spirit was shaken, and he felt a little happy in his heart, thinking that he had escaped Li Si's punishment, and said quickly:

"Sir, please tell me, I will definitely complete the mission!"

Li Si looked calm and said calmly:

"Linglie Mansion has been stabilized now, but Lingyun Mansion seems to have some provocateurs, who flout the strategies and rules set by our Prince Chu Mansion. Go to Lingyun Mansion to find out who they are. These people should be imprisoned and killed! "

"yes!"

A fierce aura emerged from Xu Chu's tiger eyes, making the surrounding area freeze.

"Also, go get thirty military sticks yourself!"

"Oh." Xu Chu became aggrieved for a moment.
