Zhao Shuao knew that there must be a reason for His Highness's change of attitude. This reason should be the sudden appearance of Shannanwei General Ling Hanxiao.
However, His Highness had just arrived in Lizhou and had not yet had any contact with Ling Hanxiao.
Why, just because Ling Hanxiao changed his attitude?
The arrangement for this actual battle was not only a battle for the leaders of the martial arts pavilion, but also a major event to suppress bandits in Shannan. Of course, he did not want to rush it.
No matter what, he had to meet with His Highness first.
If something really happened, he would be able to arrange it in time.
He was still thinking about how to refuse this, when he heard Zheng Ji in the carriage continue: "This palace still believes that it is better to suppress the bandits sooner rather than later. I guess Mr. Guo and Mr. Liu think so too, right?"
"..." Guo Chang and Liu Hui were both silent when they heard Zheng Ji mention their names.
The two gentlemen are not stupid. They certainly noticed that Princess Changding was so anxious just now, and there must be some deep meaning.
Princess Changding's information is better than theirs, could it be that... something happened?
Like Zhao Shuao, their eyes moved back and forth between the carriage and Du Fengju.
Du Fengju didn't seem to notice everyone's attention, and said: "Your Highness, you are not in good health. It is best to rest for a few days. I think that during this period, I can send commander Ding and his soldiers to various places to investigate the truth, just like before As agreed."
Tao Jingyi, who was in the carriage, held her breath and concentrated, thinking quickly in her mind.
What does it mean to be as agreed upon?
Obviously, when His Highness made an agreement with them before, he just asked them to delay the meeting with Pavilion Master Zhao as long as possible and wait for His Highness to come back from Lishan Mountain.
Now Mr. Du says this... Of course, he is following Mr. Du's words.
"Mr. Du is saying that although I can't go to various places to investigate in person, I have come to Lizhou with a lot of Chang Ding rate soldiers, so let them go explore the way first."
When Ling Hanxiao heard this, his mentality that originally decided to wait and see what happened suddenly changed.
He stared at Du Fengju with a cold face, feeling that this little Mr. Wuge actually dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
They deliberately said the words they had agreed upon, and from this he could tell that they had no plans.
but……
From this sentence, he could more accurately judge that His Highness Changding and the others were already suspicious of Lishan, so they thought of going to Lishan to investigate.
He thought of Hu Chong and Pei Bi who were driven into Lishan Mountain at this time. Before capturing these two people, he was absolutely unwilling to let Chang Ding lead his soldiers into Lishan Mountain.
Although he was very confident in the layout of Lishan Mountain, he did not like things to go beyond the scope of his plan. If Chang Ding led his soldiers to investigate on Lishan Mountain, it might disturb his layout on Lishan Mountain.
Regardless of whether they were suspicious or not, he had to stop Chang Ding from leading his soldiers to Lishan.
So, he said like this: "Your Highness is not feeling well at all, so it is not appropriate to be busy. Why don't I send soldiers to various places? What do you think, Your Excellency?"
Zhao Shuao nodded and replied: "That's very good."
After that, he glanced in the direction of Du Fengju and couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw what the other person wanted to say.
His meaning is very clear. We must first understand what His Highness means before speaking.
Before Du Fengju spoke, he said to Ling Hanxiao: "Leave the investigation to General Ling."
After a pause, he continued: "General Ling, I'm really sorry. My three teams have just arrived at Lizhou Prefecture. I need to arrange for them to rest one by one. I can't talk with the general in detail for the time being. Please forgive me, General."
Zhao Shuao had no intention of saying anything to Ling Hanxiao now. These words were already a veiled way of driving away guests.
Ling Hanxiao came here for a purpose, how could he be dismissed by Zhao Shuao with just a few words?
He not only wanted to see the rumored His Highness Chang Ding with his own eyes and test the truth of His Highness Chang Ding, but he also wanted to hold back the soldiers led by Chang Ding to investigate everywhere.
The situation here in Lizhou Prefecture and
The rhythm can only be controlled by him. Neither Zhao Shuao, the pavilion master, nor His Highness Chang Ding can comment!
He was about to say something when he suddenly noticed an unusual tremor in the air. He turned around instantly, trying to catch this abnormality.
However, the moment he turned back, a Shannan Guard soldier standing not far from him suddenly pulled out his long sword and rushed towards Princess Changding's carriage.
This is an ordinary Shannan Guard soldier, but the speed with which he draws his sword is unimaginable. He does not look like an ordinary Shannan Guard soldier at all!
The bright blade was still glowing with blue light, and it pierced the carriage where Zheng Ji was sitting with lightning speed.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. No matter whether it was General Ling Hanxiao, Zhao Shuao, the master of the pavilion, or the gentlemen and soldiers of the Wuge, none of them could react.
No one could have imagined that Shannan Guard soldiers would dare to directly assassinate Princess Changding in front of so many people!
Even if Princess Changding falls out of favor now, she is still of royal blood. How dare this Shannan Guard soldier?
Ling Hanxiao was about to burst into tears, and subconsciously struck out a palm. However, it was better that he didn't high-five, because the soldier actually used the power of his palm to leap faster.
The sharp long knife also directly cut through the car curtain and stabbed in...
At this moment, Ling Hanxiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't believe what he saw.
These are the soldiers he brought here!
Now, the soldiers he brought over assassinated Princess Changding in public!
If Princess Changding is killed... No, no, no, Princess Changding must die, but not in this way!
Ling Hanxiao wished he could break the soldier into pieces, but he was far away from the carriage. Even if he wanted to save Princess Changding, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, this soldier's martial arts were so powerful that he could almost predict what would happen next.
Soon enough, just when everyone thought there would be blood, the long knife that penetrated the carriage seemed to be blocked by something, and it was frozen in mid-air.
Immediately, a sharp gust of palm appeared in the carriage, and the Shannan Guard soldier who had already flown to the carriage was hit in the chest by a palm without any resistance.
With a "pop" sound, the soldier suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, bowed his body, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang".
Only then did everyone realize that the person in the carriage was Princess Changding. She was not a delicate and charming princess, but one of the top three princesses who broke into the Wuge Arena!
She knows martial arts, and her martial arts is very strong. Even if she is infected with the cold, she still has the power to fight back powerfully.
Now the Shannan Guard soldier was knocked to the ground by her palm, vomiting blood and unconscious.
"Get him!"
A hoarse command came from the carriage, and Chang Ding's soldiers reacted quickly, rushing forward to surround the carriage, and at the same time controlled the Shannan Guard soldier.
Seeing this scene, Ling Hanxiao frowned more and more, feeling an ominous omen in his heart.
At this time, a hoarse word came from the carriage again, which made his scalp tingle.
