Liu Zheng knew it all along.
The process of escorting the coffin was not that easy and simple.
The current Long Yan is too chaotic.
The previous partisanship in the Li Dynasty was like playing house compared to this Long Yan.
Long Yan is so big that one state is worth a Li Dynasty. At this time, in addition to the inherent old aristocrats, new aristocrats, and scholar-bureaucrat groups in this country. Are there not other miscellaneous forces?
have.
Since ancient times, Long Yan has always had ambitions.
This time, Liu Zheng came with the King of Wei and the King of Jin. He definitely didn't believe it when he said that no one wanted to cause trouble for him on the way.
Just okay.
The journey from Qingzhou to Jinzhou is considered safe. It seems that the kings of Wei and Jin are still very capable of controlling their territories.
But now, we have arrived in Guanzhong.
Liu Zheng and his group had just relaxed a little, when something unexpected happened.
Ankang City.
We had just entered the city. Because Ankang was already very close to Beijing, Liu Zheng and others did not plan to linger here. Seeing that it was still early, they planned to go directly through Ankang and continue moving forward. Of course, the most important thing is that Ankang's governor is not a member of their new aristocratic force, but a wavering force.
That is to say, he is neither close to the old aristocrats nor the new aristocrats. Similarly, he also maintains a certain distance from the scholar-bureaucrats.
There are actually quite a few such governors in Longyan.
Liu Zheng is not afraid of those prefects who have a clear stance, but what he is afraid of is this kind of meat, because you can't tell what he means.
as expected.
Hearing that Liu Zheng and others planned to leave directly, Ankang's prefect Zhang Chang became a little anxious and said sadly that the prince was buried in a state and there were too many people who respected him in Ankang City. He could not go to Lishan for the funeral in person. I hope Liu Shilang could let me The people paid their respects to the prince's coffin.
With this said, Liu Zheng and the other three could not refuse, so they could only agree and let the coffin circle around the city before setting off on their way.
Zhang Chang was overjoyed and made arrangements immediately.
Just as the coffin procession was approaching the city, a group of men in black suddenly emerged from the crowd of people kneeling in obeisance.
"kill!"
"Kill this thief Liu Shilang!"
"Ambitious Minister Liu!"
"Avenge the prince!"
"For the prince!"
"For Long Yan!"
As soon as these people appeared, they immediately shouted slogans that shocked everyone, and each of them was highly skilled in martial arts. If Pei Qianyun hadn't been by Liu Zheng's side all the time, several assassins would have almost taken away Liu Zheng's "dog head"!
"Be bold!"
"Who is it! Get it for me!"
The sudden assassination made Liu Zheng, King Wei, King Jin, Qin Changfeng and others all change their expressions.
Zhang Chang's face turned livid and he said angrily: "If you dare to disturb the prince's coffin, kill me!"
He said he was going to kill him, but in fact his people never came.
"Kill Thief Liu!"
"Qingjun side!"
"Kill Thief Liu!"
"Qingjun side!"
Each of these assassins shouted extremely noble slogans.
Liu Zheng almost said it just now, and he is still a little frightened now, but now that Pei Qianyun has reacted, he is no longer afraid. He watched all this quietly. Qin Changfeng has already led the guards here to fight with that group of people. The people on the street have long been in chaos.
The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword come and go.
Liu Zheng was not surprised by the situation in front of him.
As I mentioned just now, there are all kinds of people in this world, with all kinds of stances and ideas.
Some people think that they are good people, and then naturally some people think that they are bad people.
Some people support themselves and think that he is a talented person who manages the world and is a pillar of the country.
Naturally, some people think that he is an ambitious person who covets the throne.
It is normal for the people to have groups that oppose themselves.
certainly.
It no longer matters whether this is a private organization or a deliberate arrangement by others.
"kill!"
"Dog killer!"
This group of people came with the intention of dying. Maybe they thought that with their sacrifice, the court would take Liangzhou's threat to Long Yan seriously.
it works.
This trick will definitely work.
But Liu Zheng didn't care at this time.
"Just you?"
Pei Qianyun shouted angrily and waved two sledgehammers. There were probably more than a hundred people here. He came alone, but he couldn't even move forward. What's more, there were Qin Changfeng and others, as well as the guards of King Wei and King Jin.
The sword is ruthless.
These people realized that this group of assassins who seemed to be martial arts people had no chance at all.
"run!"
Seeing that nothing could be done, they wanted to escape.
"run?"
Pei Qianyun sneered and pounced again.
then.
The people, who were either frightened or watching the excitement, watched helplessly as these people were surrounded and killed one by one by the ruthless soldiers. For a time, the streets were filled with rivers of blood and wreckage everywhere.
soon.
These one hundred people were cleared.
The scene was completely silent.
"This, this, this..."
Zhang Chang, the Ankang prefect, was already sweating profusely.
The King of Wei was livid, and the King of Jin was silent.
Liu Zheng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, I really don't know about this, this, this, I don't know!"
Zhang Chang plopped and knelt on the ground, sobbing.
"Master Zhang, why is this happening? You must not..."
Liu Zheng quickly dismounted.
King Wei also sneered: "Master Zhang, what's going on..."
Zhang Chang kept kowtowing: "I don't know, I really don't know... These evil thieves broke into the prince's coffin. They deserve to die. I deserve to die!"
"Lord Zhang, there's no need for that. They're just some gangsters."
King Wei also said calmly.
Zhang Changcai stood up tremblingly.
After all, this group of people continued to leave the city.
After this, the three of them were in the carriage, and you looked at me, and I looked at you.
Then everyone laughed.
"It's not easy for Zhang Chang to live."
King Wei laughed.
King Jin also shook his head and said with a smile: "It is like this under the emperor's feet, how pitiful."
In fact, all three people knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhang Chang. Who would be stupid enough to arrange such an assassination in their own city?
Success rate, almost zero assassination.
This time, these people were just trying to throw dirty water on Liu Zheng. Anyway, in the current situation of Long Yan, there will be as many basins of dirty water as possible. As long as those interest groups provide money, these people who are willing to die will follow one after another.
only.
What happened this time really reminded Liu Zheng.
He suddenly smiled and asked: "Do you think this holy lord, who believes in the prince, is dead?"
"ah?"
King Wei and King Jin couldn't help but look at each other.
like.
This is really a question worth considering...
