Chapter 701: Haiqing Dragon King
It is said that the round table feast ended with all the guests at the table, and the Xiangyun Alliance was formed, which would lay a great foundation for Chen Long to unify Xiliang in the future. Although Sima Lang and Guo Huai are slightly inferior to Sima Yi, they are more loyal and trustworthy than Sima Yi. They are not as ambitious as Sima Yi, so they can be used by Chen Long.
With Zheng Xuan's nod of approval, Ma Yunluo finally decided to move closer to Chen Long's forces. The first step was to let Diao Chan go. Chen Long and Lu Chang entered the Weihe River to pick up the boat as scheduled. Sure enough, Ma Yunluo put Diao Chan into the boat and instantly hugged Chen Long who turned over the side of the boat. Naturally, Diao Chan wept with joy and hugged her lover tightly. After the disaster, the two of them would become one again. The boat was sent to a remote place to land. Lu Chang took care of Diao Chan's horseback riding. The two quickly disappeared to the meeting place and put on makeup to hide. Diao Chan learned that Chen Long was going to see Huang Yan, and then spied on Li Ru's information, and repeatedly warned Chen Long not to mention it.
After sending away his beloved wife Diao Chan, Chen Long finally calmed down. No matter whether he could kill Li Ru or not this time, he had to lead his beloved wife back to a safe place first, preferably back to his old house in Xiangyang. With Zhang Ning and many Qinglong Army men guarding it, it is naturally extremely safe, much better than Chang'an. As Chang'an serves as the bridgehead to pacify Xiliang, wars will naturally occur frequently. After he returned Diao Chan, he should immediately start to pacify Xiliang. He even needed to temporarily put aside the battle with Yuan Shu and Cao Cao in the Hefei and Wancheng areas, switch from offense to defense, and adjust heavy troops to the western front to prevent any mistakes on Ma Yunluo's side.
As the saying goes, Ma Yunluan's Tianshui Gang is secretly loyal to Chen Long's forces. If the news leaks out, it will inevitably lead to conflicts between various forces, and it is not impossible for the Tianshui Gang to be wiped out. Therefore, Chen Long must not let this happen. He must first pacify Xiliang. Only by crushing all opposition forces and establishing a strong fusion stronghold of all ethnic groups can he completely resolve the historical sin of Wu Hu's chaos in China and feel at ease. Ma Yunluan took him into his arms. Otherwise, if I, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce continue to fight to the death in the Central Plains for another ten years, the final result will be difficult to stop the Hu people from entering China to commit evil and purge. As for what the world will say about me, even if I ruin a great career by saying that I love beauty, why is Ma Yunluo's life safety and happiness throughout his life so important?
This decision is a major turning point for the Qinglong Army. Logically speaking, how can the desolate Gobi Desert in Daxi Liang be as attractive as the colorful world of the Central Plains? But for the sake of national justice and the beauty Yunluo, he must first visit Xiliang. And Xiliang is vast and boundless, where does it end? What if Han Sui fled to a foreign land? Should I pursue him? Chen Long didn't have time to think about these details yet.
Chen Long thought as he walked, he saw a simple village by the river with only a few empty bungalows, which was the meeting place agreed with Huang Yan. Chen Long let go of his worries, stood in the shadows and waited for a moment, letting out the scream of a night falcon. Sure enough, Hao Pu arrived a moment later, nodded slightly and said: "He is the only one here by the river."
It seems that Cheng Gongying and Huang Yan did not set a trap. Chen Long nodded slightly and said to Hao Pu: "Go and meet the mistress and prepare to replace Zheng Xuan's official ship gang. When I return from the martial arts contest tomorrow, I will immediately set off back to Chang'an." Hao Pu nodded slightly, said "Lord, be careful", and hurriedly disappeared into the darkness.
It turned out that Chen Long had been thinking about Zheng Xuan leaving. If Zheng Xuan could leave on the official ship of the Tianshui Gang, his team members could disguise themselves as gang members and board the ship to escort him, so they could get away with it. But there are still two difficulties. First, if Zhang Ji asks the ships of the Tianshui army to directly escort him, this plan will be impossible; second, the Weihe River is shallow and has many shoals. Official ships may not be able to reach Chang'an directly, and they need to come down and switch to land halfway. . Zheng Xuan only had a few followers, so it was still unknown whether Zheng Xuan could use Zheng Xuan's departure as a cover.
There is another possibility, which is to use the departure of several visiting families as a cover. However, there are many people and it is difficult to keep secret. If the news leaks out, the Tianshui Gang will be unlucky, so Chen Long may not Take risks.
Because of Diao Chan, Chen Long wanted to concentrate his efforts on protecting her, and did not want to break it into pieces and take risks. Chen Long would not be surprised at all if Zhang Ji and Han De sent troops to intercept them at all levels. After thinking again and again, Chen Long suddenly remembered that along the way to Jincheng, if Chen Yi was allowed to cover the route to Jincheng first, and then choose the opportunity to enter Chang'an from the Hexi Corridor, the chance of winning would be much greater. Most of the people on the road were just small forces.
The world is so big, where should I flee? Chen Long was thinking wildly as he entered a thatched house and instantly sensed that the person in the house greeted him. He was tall and unsmiling. Needless to say, it was Huang Yan. The two briefly exchanged a few words, walked to the river and got on a small boat. Huang Yan personally operated the oars, and the boat slowly drifted towards the other bank. The water was pitch black, starless and moonless. It was a night of dark moonlight and high winds, but there were faint cries of wolves on the other side. It was really creepy.
When the boat reached the middle of the river, Huang Yan's black face suddenly smiled, revealing his yellow and white teeth and said: "You and I are the two guardians of the Haiqing Gang, but we didn't expect to act as assassins and become lonely ghosts on the Wei River. ."
Chen Long's heart moved. Huang Yan's words were quite reluctant, as if he had resentment in his heart, but he didn't know if it was because he was dissatisfied with Cheng Gongying. After thinking for a while, he teased with words: "Huang Hufa has a high position, does he have something on his mind?"
Huang Yan did not answer, but suddenly smiled evilly and said: "Dragon Protector Huai, I heard that you are good at martial arts, but I don't know what your water properties are like?"
Chen Long secretly screamed that something was wrong. As expected, Huang Yan stood up and stomped on the boat gang without waiting for Chen Long's reaction. The huge force instantly turned the boat over, and the two of them fell into the water at the same time. Huang Yan was already prepared. After falling into the water, he suddenly threw out a lock sleeve in his hand, which happened to cover Chen Long's right foot. At the same time, he tightened it suddenly and accelerated towards the bottom of the water with all his strength. sink.
The lock sleeve was obviously made of fine steel. The lock was getting tighter and tighter. It was impossible to unlock it with bare hands. Chen Long only felt a huge force pulling him to the bottom of the river in the water. The river water was extremely turbid in the darkness, and Huang Yan could not be seen. where. Chen Long struggled up and down desperately, but the lock was difficult to open, and there was no force in the river. He could not rush to the river for a short time to breathe. As time slowly extended, Chen Long's struggle became weaker and weaker. He raised his hands to the river, his face was pale, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was refusing to rest in peace.
Huang Yan's ferocious face slowly swam over, and when he saw Chen Long's eyes widening, he smiled evilly, spit out a few round bubbles, and said to himself: "Huaiyang, you died not unjustly. You know I am in Haiqing Pai’s nickname is Haiqing Dragon King?”
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
