Chapter 293 Conversation
Because the eldest princess had issued an order at the court and had the support of the royal family, on the third day, the Taiwei had already led his army to leave the capital.
In the strategic areas of Zhongzhou, six generals including Fenhu General Shi Dengyuan, Yangwei General Chi Guanshan, and General Lang Hong led their elite legions to join the Taiwei at the border of Zhongzhou.
Outside the city of Kyoto, on the wide official road, the vanguard army set off in a mighty manner, with flags all the way covering the sky and the sun. The soldiers in battle armor set out in the direction of Danzhou with strict military discipline.
At the highest point of the imperial city, Li Mujun was wearing a flaming phoenix feather robe, dignified and noble, looking at the disappearing vanguard army with a pair of stern eyes, a proud smile on his lips.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister Lin and Mr. Lu, I understand your feelings, but you have to trust me. There is a reason why I sent the Taiwei out. You will know my intention by then."
Li Mujun knew that Lin Shufan and Lu Xun were not his own people yet, so he did not tell them the true situation of the Taiwei immediately.
Behind her, Lin Shufan and Lu Xun stood silently, their eyes looking indifferently into the distance. After hearing Li Mujun's words, their calm eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation.
After looking at each other, Lu Xun raised his head with a sharp look in his eyes and asked:
"Your Highness, Princess, I don't know where Zhao Yan is. Why didn't you see him following you today?"
"You are talking about Mr. Zhao. He has now gone to Danzhou with the Taiwei."
When the eldest princess heard Lu Xun mention Zhao Yan's name, a sigh appeared in her eyes. Zhao Yan was loyal to her.
Last night, before the Taiwei led his army to leave, Zhao Yan found him. Fearing that something might happen to King Xuan of Danzhou and the Taiwei, and being able to understand the situation in Danzhou in time, Zhao Yan took the initiative to ask Ying to follow the army to Danzhou.
After hearing Zhao Yan's touching words, Li Mujun sent Zhao Yan into the Taiwei Army with tears in his eyes.
When Lin Shufan and Lu Xun heard this, they both moved in unison, opening their mouths slightly, sighing and closing their eyes, and said at the same time:
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, I am a little tired, so I will leave for now."
It was not that the two of them had not taken action to stop them in the past few days, but Li Mujun had already agreed in the court at that time, and it was extremely difficult for them to intervene in the army as civil servants, not to mention that the opponent was a Taiwei. He had already expected it. Lin Shufan's actions were resolved one by one.
As one of the driving forces behind it, Zhao Yan was naturally found by them.
Unfortunately, I didn't expect Zhao Yan to run away so easily.
well!
Lin Shufan and Lu Xun felt very tired.
When Li Mujun saw the two of them preparing to resign, he quickly turned around and tried to persuade them to stay.
"Xiang Lin, Mr. Lu, I have prepared a pot of exquisite fragrant tea in the palace and am about to entertain you two."
"Thank you very much for your kindness, eldest princess. I'm afraid that I won't be able to enjoy it happily today, so I will leave now!"
But the two of them did not hesitate at all, bowed to Li Mujun, turned around and left.
Li Mujun opened his mouth when he saw the two people leaving, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhao was right. Lin Shufan and Lu Xun only temporarily supported Li Yao to regain her consciousness. From now on, their words can only be trusted at most.
In the carriage walking along the official road, Lin Shufan and Lu Xun sat opposite each other, looking at each other but not knowing what to say, so they could only sigh one after another.
Suddenly there were several voices outside the carriage, and the carriage stopped.
"Sir, there are guards ahead to intercept you." The groom outside the carriage reported to Lu Xun inside.
"what happened?"
Lu Xun, who was originally in a depressed mood, learned that his carriage had been stopped, and he became angry. He raised the curtains and looked out of the car, angrily saying that he wanted to see who dared to stop their car.
However, after just one glance, Lu Xun stopped what he wanted to say angrily, and the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, because the person who intercepted them was none other than King Heng!
Outside the carriage, there was a warm sun and wind, and the warm sunshine shone on Li Heng, who had a tall and straight figure. He was simple but had a sense of grandeur, making him appear heroic and extraordinary.
I saw Li Heng's face full of humility and said with a smile:
"I wonder if you two gentlemen would like to speak with me!"
Lin Shufan's eyes suddenly opened in the carriage...
……………………
Lingzhou, the border city, on the gate of Lingyu City, Ma Chao and Jia Xu stood on the tower. At a glance, they could see the plains within twenty miles of the border. If any enemy troops appeared, they could easily detect them.
"Master Jia, is it true that other dynasties dare to attack Lingzhou?" Guan Sheng looked at the endless plains and couldn't help but ask.
Ma Chao also glanced at Jia Xu, who kept smiling all the time. He was very depressed now. He originally stayed well in Huanzhou, but then he followed Jia Xu back to Lingzhou in a daze, saying something about guarding the border to prevent the Black Gold Dynasty from sneak attacks.
Jia Xu gently waved a feather fan in his hand to blow away the dust picked up by the breeze. Jia Xu stared at the distance and said with a slight smile:
"We know from Luowang's information that the Fengzhou Alliance has colluded with the Rihui Dynasty and the Nanming Dynasty. There are probably two dynasties behind this. Therefore, His Highness guessed that since the two dynasties are planning to plot the Fengzhou border, it is also very They may plot against our Lingzhou border, so I, General Meng Qi and General Guan Sheng have been sent to guard it."
"Does a mere black gold dynasty dare to come?" Ma Chaoying raised his eyebrows and looked stern.
I am not bragging. If the Black Gold Dynasty dares to come, I will definitely let the Black Gold Dynasty know what regret is.
"It's better to believe it or not. Lingzhou is very important to us. His Highness is very worried about the hidden dangers on the border of Lingzhou. Only General Meng Qi and General Guan Sheng can guard here to reassure His Highness."
After hearing Jia Xu's words, the two people's originally fierce aura couldn't help but weaken.
Soon, Ma Chao asked again: "But when should we wait until the Black Gold Dynasty comes?"
"I don't know about this. The specific situation depends on the situation in Fengzhou." Jia Xu waved his feather fan lightly and shook his head.
Guan Sheng opened his eyes wide, and he understood what Jia Xu meant: "If King Ming defeated the Fengzhou Alliance, the Rihui Dynasty, and the Nanming Dynasty, wouldn't the Black Gold Dynasty not dare to come?"
"indeed so!"
Jia Xu smiled and nodded.
"Then we came here in vain!"
Not to mention Ma Chao, even Guan Sheng couldn't help feeling aggrieved.
However, Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "How could we have come in vain? If the Black Gold Dynasty does not come to attack us, we can also take the initiative. After all, the Black Gold Dynasty has always been a hidden danger on our border in Lingzhou. Let us solve this hidden danger as soon as possible. That’s fine.”
Jia Xu looked far away in the direction of the Black Gold Dynasty, with a cold light in his smiling eyes.
Ma Chao and Guan Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up!
