"gone?"
Qu Yuanzhong put down the letter and looked at his guards.
"We've gone a long way." The guard replied.
Qu Yuanzhong looked at the night with his eyelids raised. He was clearly eager, but calm and capable of great things.
At the time of subversion, Yan State needed a leader who was bold and decisive.
At that time in Qingzhou, Yang Shu had not yet obtained the Yang Family Army. Marshal Yang was not a good actor, and he was afraid that Yang Shu would be kept in the dark. When Qing Jun was on his side, he did not leave any escape route.
When Ai Daxin died, Marshal Yang would not interfere with anything, so Wulu was trapped by Yang Shuyin.
Why was Qu Yuanzhong so sure that Wu Lu was trapped? If you go to King Ding's palace to assassinate you, there will definitely be casualties. Only those with a brain would arrange for people around them.
Once caught, there is no way to defend yourself.
Good boy, the lion who killed someone and still felt confident opened his mouth.
The third prince rebelled and the city gates were under martial law, but he led people out of Jian'an in a high-profile manner. The journey seemed absurd, but he took Xishan.
Qu Yuanzhong didn't believe that this was a whim. The Yang family army has not dispersed yet. There must be something hidden in Xishan.
After growing up under the eyes of all the nobles, but no one doubted him at all, Qu Yuanzhong was really full of expectations for Yang Shu.
Will the Yan Kingdom undergo earth-shaking changes in his hands?
…
"Your Highness, this is the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince in the past two days." The secret guard put the booklet on the table.
"The nun who helps and dresses the Eleventh Prince is greedy for money." The secret guard took a step back and reported.
Guo Qi flipped through the book, his eyes gloomy, and his whole person was as cold as a poisonous snake with erect pupils in the dark.
"Keep staring." Guo Qi's voice contained no emotion or anger.
The secret guard bowed, clasped his fists, and exited the room.
In the silence, Guo Qi squeezed the book tightly, with a scarlet murderous intent deep in his eyes.
As the night deepened little by little, Yang Shu stopped his horse and the group rested on the spot.
"Your Majesty, have a drink of water." Fang Zhuang handed the water bag to Yang Shu.
Yang Shu bent his legs and looked at the sky in the distance, "The road behind is narrow and full of cliffs. Even though I can see my fingers when I reach out, it's still too dark, so I won't go further. I'll wait until dawn."
It's not an emergency, Yang Shu doesn't take unnecessary risks.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Shao has arrived in Huining County. On the way there, he made some improvements to the crossbow. I heard that its lethality has improved a lot."
Fang Zhuang sat down next to Yang Shu, took out the big cake, and said while eating.
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is indeed a talented person. Send a message to Xu Jingzhou and ask him to treat Zheng Shao preferentially. Banditry is a thing of the past. No one can use this to ridicule him."
"By the way, how is Wei Si?" Yang Shu tilted his head.
"That boy..."
Talking about Wei Si, Fang Zhuang subconsciously calmed down his expression and said with a serious face: "Still alive."
Yang Shu glanced at him, "We are talking about a half-grown child, how could you make him look like a dangerous thing that harms the world?"
"Your Majesty, you are not a vicious creature." Fang Zhuang swallowed, "Whose child would bite someone's throat with his teeth?"
"You're not a wolf cub, are you?" Fang Zhuang muttered.
"I have also been through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, but I have never seen anyone as ruthless as Wei Si."
"The most important thing is that you can't be beaten to death!"
Yang Shu stroked the dust off his legs. He couldn't be beaten to death. He had amazing willpower and was tenacious enough, but he didn't hurt any vital parts.
"Your Majesty." Fang Zhuang leaned towards Yang Shu, "That child is too cruel. What if he loses control?"
"out of control?"
Yang Shu raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Zhuang, "You really treat Wei Si like a wild beast."
"His self-control is no worse than yours."
"That kid looks cold and cold, but if you give him a little, he will repay you a hundred times. Before he is clean, he will risk his life to protect me."
Xu Jingzhou and Wei Si, one civil and one military, are the two cornerstones of Yang Shu's empire building.
"Your Majesty, I am the one who accompanies you through the woods and rivers." Fang Zhuang said quietly, "A hundred times is nothing, he is a thousand times!"
No, his life belongs to the prince, and there will be no time to repay it. Even if he becomes a ghost, he will still protect the prince.
"The people around you are the best." Fang Zhuang secretly poked and straightened his back.
Yang Shu raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud, "Oh, you can still compete for favors. It's because I praised him but not you."
"Fang Zhuang." Yang Shu put his arm around Fang Zhuang's shoulders and said boldly: "What do you want to compare with him? How can he be as good as you, how can he be as stupid as you, and unlike you, he can wear flowered crotch pants."
Fang Zhuang blinked, was this a compliment to him?
"Your Majesty." Fang Zhuang's eyes widened, "How do you know the crotchless pants I'm wearing are flowery!"
Fang Zhuang moved back in horror.
Yang Shu rolled his eyes, "You shower by the well every day, I wonder if I would like to see it."
"piss off."
Really unable to stand Fang Zhuang's appearance of a bullied little daughter-in-law, Yang Shu stretched out her foot to kick her away.
Plop, the sound of an object falling into the water was very loud at night, and the scene suddenly became silent.
Fang Zhuang held the handle of the knife in his hand, and with an arrow step, he stood in front of Yang Shu.
The guards looked at each other and approached the water.
"Your Majesty, you are already frozen." The guard raised his voice.
Stiff? Yang Shu frowned and walked forward.
"What's your identity? Are you on your way?" Yang Shu walked towards the guard.
"Not quite."
The guard knelt down and held the fire seal in front of the corpse, letting Yang Shu see the arrows on the back of the corpse.
"This is the only thing I found with me." The guard handed Yang Shu a dagger.
"Flowing cloud pattern." Yang Shu touched the handle of the knife.
"People from the Xiao Kingdom?" Yang Shu stared at the male corpse on the ground and said to the guard, "Pull out the arrow."
"Your Majesty, there is no mark on the arrow, but there is a hook." The guard raised his head and said.
Yang Shu pursed his lips slightly. Ordinary people's arrows are not designed to cause back hooks.
It is strange that the people of Xiao were hunted down in Yan.
Yang Shu hoped that it was King Xi who did it, but it was unlikely. King Xi did not have the courage to fall out with Xiao Guo.
"Bury it."
Yang Shu had no intention of bothering with a corpse that contained no information.
As soon as they could see the road clearly, Yang Shu and his guards rode away.
…
"General, someone from Jian'an is here."
Pan Biao's cronies entered the camp and reported to the people sitting inside.
The burly man frowned. He didn't receive a letter from King Xi.
Standing up, Pan Biao led his cronies out.
In front of the tent, a man with a white face and no beard raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant. He was followed by three men in green clothes. Judging from his respectful posture, his superiority and inferiority were very clear.
"General Zhenbei really made it easy for our family to wait."
As soon as Pan Biao appeared, the man snorted coldly, his words full of displeasure.
"Why are you still standing?" The man took out the bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve and looked at Pan Biao.
"General Zhenbei doesn't kneel, does he want to despise the emperor?" The man said sternly with a stern look on his face.
Pan Biao, a close confidant, was the first to react, "Who are you? How dare you speak to the general like this!"
"We know a thing or two about the people in the palace."
"My father-in-law looks really strange."
The henchman narrowed his eyes and glanced over the four people, murderous intent surging.
The man's orchid finger trembled with anger. He reached into his arms and took out a three-finger-wide gold medal in the shape of an arrow. "Open your dog eyes and see what this is!"
Pan Biao's eyes stopped at the lower right corner of the gold medal. The complex imperial symbol was difficult to make without facing it.
