Just as Qin Feng and Lu Li were in a stalemate, Chen Si was standing at the gate of the royal capital, looking at the dark official road outside the city, feeling increasingly anxious.
According to the time calculation, Qin Feng should have arrived at the royal capital. Why is there still no trace of Qin Feng even though the sky is dark?
Is it possible that Qin Feng changed his mind and didn't want to meet His Majesty?
Or is it that Qin Feng plans to make a big fuss in Changshui County?
A series of questions and worries popped up in Chen Si's mind.
Nowadays, Dadi is in danger, with a snowstorm that has only happened once in a century, the severe situation in Zhuozhou, and the grievances of the people everywhere. At this time, Qin Feng must not cause any more troubles, otherwise it will be heaven's death. Dadi!
Chen Si's patience had been worn away. He called the messenger and asked loudly: "Where is Qin Feng?"
Faced with Chen Si's questioning, the messenger hesitated and hesitated to speak.
Seeing this situation, Chen Si had a bad premonition in his heart. His eyes suddenly became extremely stern and he shouted: "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?! If you miss something important, even the nine tribes involved will be treated as extrajudicial!"
Upon hearing this, the messenger's legs became weak, he fell to his knees with a thud, and stammered his answer.
"Qi... General Qi, Qin Feng has arrived in Qingshan County as early as noon today."
Hearing this, Chen Si's right eye jumped. Qingshan County is only one step away from the royal capital. It is said that it only takes more than an hour to reach the royal capital. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow and it is difficult to walk, it will not be so long. If you didn’t show up, something must have happened!
Although Chen Si was not a civil servant, with his political sense, a possibility suddenly emerged in his mind.
The powerful officials in the DPRK do not want Qin Feng to see His Majesty.
And besides the Eagle Party headed by Lu Li, who else could this person be?
Although the Eagle Party has been disbanded, its members are still important members of the court. If they really intend to intercept Qin Feng halfway, they can naturally block the news. However, no matter how blocked, there is no way to hide from the eyes of Night Owl, unless...even Night Owl is involved.
broken! broken! broken!
Chen Si felt depressed. Even if that bastard Lu Li had a blood feud with Qin Feng, he would not ignore Dadi's difficult situation. No matter whether he could kill Qin Feng or not, it would cause immeasurable losses to Dadi. .
Thinking of this, Chen Si stared at the messenger fiercely and said word by word: "But Lu Zhuguo intercepted and killed Qin Feng on the way?!"
Hearing this, the messenger turned pale with fright and did not dare to speak. He just nodded his head.
Chen Si was furious and waved his hand: "Come here, drag this bitch down and chop it down, and report to Your Majesty to raze the three tribes of this dog slave!"
"To know about such a big thing but not to report it is a crime worthy of death!"
Chen Si ignored the messenger's begging for mercy, turned around, glanced at the soldiers and civil servants present, and shouted sternly: "In the current national crisis, if anyone misses important events because of personal grudges, I will chop off your heads without the need for your Majesty to issue an order." , razing the clan!"
Faced with Chen Si's scolding, everyone present naturally did not dare to express their anger.
Chen Si was too lazy to waste time on these bastards, and roared at the few distracted messengers present: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly go to the Ministry of War to send an order to dispatch the army to rescue Qin Feng! If Lu Li dares to interfere with it! , directly control Lu Li and obey His Majesty’s orders!”
"Also! Lu Li's interception and killing of Qin Feng was so tightly sealed. Ye Xiao must have secretly helped. Didn't we get the news before that Qin Feng had cleaned up the Jinyi Guards? It seems that it's time for Ye Xiao to clean up. Go and tell Li Yu, now that the country is in crisis, Ye Xiao was supposed to be His Majesty’s eyes and ears, but now he has become someone’s pawn, and the crime cannot be punished!”
The messengers dispersed.
Chen Si's heart was still in his throat, and his temples ached because he was too nervous.
When it comes to blood feud, no one in Beidi can compare to Chen Si!
Two of Chen Si's clan brothers were killed by Qin Feng, the Snow Wolf Brigade was destroyed by Qin Feng, and even Chen Si's arm was disabled by Qin Feng's Tianji Camp guards.
Chen Si kept all these incidents in mind, but in the face of the overall situation of the country, Chen Si could only bury his hatred and never dare to put his personal honor and disgrace before the rise and fall of the country.
As a result, Chen Si had calculated everything, but he never expected that Lu Li would be so bold as to kill Qin Feng at the critical moment when His Majesty summoned Qin Feng.
If he kills Qin Feng, Beixi County will definitely gather all its forces to capture Zhuozhou in one go, and then spread the war to the entire Beidi territory, and the country will be in danger in a blink of an eye.
If his assassination fails and Qin Feng survives by luck, this will definitely be Qin Feng's bargaining chip.
"Damn! Really damn!"
"Lu Li, Lu Li, you were once a mighty hero, why can't you protect yourself in the late festival?"
"I can understand the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person away, but it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. If you start now, wouldn't you be burying yourself in it?"
Chen Si shook his head repeatedly. In order to recover the losses as much as possible, Chen Si simply got on his horse and personally led the army, leading his servants and soldiers straight to Qingshan County.
Chen Si and a thousand soldiers rushed to the border of Qingshan County in only half an hour.
Because Lu Li sent a large number of scouts and messengers to block the news, Chen Si was stopped by the scouts as soon as he arrived in Qingshan County.
Three scouts and five Qingshan County government soldiers emerged from the darkness, blocked Chen Si's path, and asked loudly: "Where do you come from? Which station do you belong to?"
Facing the scout's question, Chen Si did not answer. He got off his horse, drew his sword, and beheaded the scout who was blocking the way in front of him.
The remaining people were shocked. Before they could recover, Chen Si's roar had already sounded.
"The bold thief dares to commit evil at the feet of the Emperor and seeks death!"
"Kill them all!"
Following the order, more than a dozen servants and soldiers swarmed forward and hacked to death the scouts and government soldiers who were blocking the road.
Chen Si turned around and mounted his horse, gritting his teeth: "Anyone who blocks the way will be beheaded!"
"Have the soldiers who went ahead found out Qin Feng's location?!"
That is, after half a stick of incense had been burned, the advance messenger ran back on horseback and reported loudly: "General, Qin Feng is under siege in the Wanggang Village area thirty miles away and is struggling to hold on."
Chen Si's face was extremely gloomy, and he waved his sword: "The whole army obeyed the order and rushed to Wanggang Village to relieve Qin Feng!"
Just as Chen Si rushed towards him with all his strength, Qin Feng was already forced into a desperate situation.
Although Qin Feng relied on his tactical experience to take advantage before this, it was a pity that the difference in numbers between the enemy and us was too great.
