As the sun gradually moved away, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided. Red and black blood was everywhere in the mountains and forests, messy corpses could be seen everywhere, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air.
Luo Qing checked the injuries of the spirit soldiers. Fortunately, they only lost their combat effectiveness and did not damage their roots. As long as they were sent back to Zhaocheng to sleep, they would gradually recover over time.
More than half of the team escorting King Liu Bi of Wu was lost, and they looked gloomy and gloomy.
Luo Qing's face was ashen and he said: "Send a messenger to Chang'an City immediately and report the rough list of personnel, otherwise you don't know what else you will experience along the way."
Huo Guang had not yet recovered from the shock of the list. Hearing what Luo Qing said, he nodded immediately. Although he didn't know whether the list was correct or not, it was inevitable that a clan member would be involved.
The journey back to Guanzhong will not be easy.
After the group collected the corpses of their colleagues, they continued on the road. They wanted to leave here quickly. They were not worried about someone coming to attack them again. The main reason was that the corpses would rot quickly in the hot and humid mountains and forests. In this case, it might be possible. produce plague.
…
The imperial envoy sent to capture Wu King Liu Bi was attacked and killed in the Jianghuai area. This matter could not be concealed at all, and it spread to the world, and it exploded.
"Did King Wu Liu Bi really rebel? This bastard, the emperor favored his clan members. Now that King Wu is doing this, I don't know what the future will be like."
"The imperial court is not liquidating Guandong. Wu Wang Liu is really plotting to cause chaos. I heard that the Luo family was also involved."
"I heard that the assassins used imperial weapons. I really don't know who caused the rebellion. I'm afraid someone from the military was involved."
"Oh, it's another big storm. I don't know how many people will fall in this storm."
"As long as the emperor doesn't use the topic to express himself, I have no interest in paying attention to the troublemaker in the Chang'an court. I can't enter the court anyway, so I can just stay here."
"Once this matter is not handled well, the emperor's prestige will be affected. He has only been on the throne for a few years, but he has carried out large-scale purges in Guanzhong and Guandong several times. As a result, this kind of thing still happens now."
Countless voices appeared all over the world, and the princes, princes, governors, governors, prime ministers, etc. were all paying close attention to this matter.
Amidst this kind of attention, Luo Qing and others were escorted all the way back by the imperial guards. No one wanted Luo Qing and others to have trouble in their own territory.
No one wants to be involved in such things as conspiracy, so ensuring the safety of Luo Qing and others' trip and sending them out of the country smoothly is the most important thing.
After passing through the Jianghuai area, people from Zhaocheng took the injured spirit soldiers away to Zhaocheng to sleep. Tiannan Luo's men returned, and dare warriors took over the escort for the second half of the journey.
Because they were escorting prisoners and prisoners, the team's journey was naturally delayed. After two months of trekking, they reached the river from the Jianghuai land. Lu Qing and others were preparing to cross the river and enter Guanzhong.
The two roads, Wuguan Pass and Hangu Pass, are too close to Nanyang, so I dare not go there at all.
The interrogation of Wu King Liu Bi has been going on in the past two months. Many true and false lists have been obtained, and the names in them have changed. This has made everyone surprised, but it is certain that someone in Nanyang must be involved.
The most terrifying thing is that some people, even King Wu Liu Bi, don't know that in this shocking conspiracy, some people stand higher than King Wu Liu Bi. Even at this time, those people can't bear it.
Because no one knows their identities!
The arrest of King Wu Liu Bi was not a big deal to those people, and their identity would not be exposed.
Luo Qing wanted to use Qing Shi to investigate, but the feedback from Qing Shi was that the input information was too little and too unprepared, and the amount of luck points required was too large.
Just like using the search function to search for a book in a library, you are looking for a needle in a haystack of hundreds of thousands of books, and a lot of it is wasted just by ineffective search.
"Go back to Guanzhong!"
"Enter Chang'an!"
When a group of people finally saw the city of Chang'an after trekking for several months, the extreme fatigue instantly spread through everyone's bodies. The soldiers endured the discomfort and continued to move forward. Under the gaze of countless Chang'an people, the Forbidden Army and the daredevil warriors rode On the tall horse, behind him were the dirty and smelly Wu King Liu Bi and some of the people who had been captured previously.
The emperor's envoy had been waiting outside Chang'an City early. When he saw Luo Qing and others, he immediately came up to him and said, "Dear princes and superior officials, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow me to the palace immediately."
Entering the palace, Huo Guang looked at the familiar scene in front of him and felt quite emotional. This trip to Wu Kingdom was really fruitful for him.
I didn't expect that the people would be so arrogant now, and some thieves would dare to directly intercept and kill the imperial mission.
Dozens of warriors escorted the bound prisoners to the palace. Huo Guang and others were accompanying them. Liu Xun stood quietly in the palace with a majestic face. There was no expression on his face, only the corners of his eyes. There are flashes of cold color everywhere.
Seeing Huo Guang and others bringing Wu King Liu Bi up, Liu Xun stepped forward quickly, regardless of everyone still saluting, raised the cane in his hand and slapped him hard!
"Liu Bi, why are you causing trouble to the country?"
Wu King Liu Bi received a heavy whip and wailed: "Because I disobey you, the position of this emperor should have been reserved for me."
Liu Xun did not expect that King Wu Liu Bi would dare to talk back now. In the past few months, it seemed that Huo Guang and others had not properly sentenced Liu Bi.
Liu Xun didn't want to talk nonsense with Wu King Liu Bi, so he directly raised the rattan whip in his hand, and slammed the whip directly on Liu Bi's face. In an instant, a piece of flesh and blood was whipped off.
Liu Xun shouted angrily as he smoked: "Thief!"
"evil creature!"
"how dare you!"
Liu Xun roared so loudly that the entire palace began to tremble, and fluttering dust fell from the top.
"This whip is given on behalf of Emperor Gao!"
Liu Xun whipped him hard again, "I'll tell you how difficult it is for me to start a business."
"This whip is given on behalf of Queen Gao and King Luo Wen!"
The corner of Luo Qing's mouth twitched when he heard this, and Liu Xun shouted angrily: "Tell you that the Liu family and the Luo family will always be friends."
"Emperor Xiaohui's!"
"Emperor Xiaowen's!"
"Emperor Xiaowu's!"
Liu Xun was really too angry, "I'll tell you how hard it was for our ancestors to keep their business. How dare you, an unfilial descendant, overthrow the Han Dynasty?"
King Wu Liu Bi had never experienced such pain. He burst out crying and begged loudly for mercy. Looking at Liu Xun like this, he was even more angry. He whipped him several times again. The thorns on the cane whipped Wu King Liu Bi until his flesh and blood were blurred. , and even dripped on the main hall.
Liu Xun's chest couldn't help but tremble violently with anger. After seeing the emperor venting his anger, Huo Guang stepped forward to support Liu Xun and said softly: "Your Majesty, calm down, traitor Liu Bi. There is no need to talk to such a person. Your Majesty, you just If you are told, I will do it for you."
Liu Xun held Huo Guang's arm tightly. Huo Guang, who had strong hands, felt a little pain, but he didn't say a word. Then he heard the emperor say softly: "Zimeng, you don't understand the danger in this."
In the past few months, he had woken up from midnight dreams countless times, thinking that if Huo Guang and Liu Xiang had not discovered this, he might have subconsciously grown to hate Luo, or even become confrontational.
Thinking that he almost faced Luo Shi, he couldn't sleep at all!
He is the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. He should not be afraid of anyone, but when facing Luo Shi, he always has an unknown premonition.
The Luo family may experience what happened in the Qin Dynasty and suffer huge losses, but the Han Dynasty will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Qin Dynasty. The Luo family has the ability to destroy the Han Dynasty's destiny.
This is a gut feeling.
In fact, Luo Shi thought the same way. As long as the ancestors took action to eliminate the destiny of the Han Dynasty, Luo Shi would be sure to face any emperor, but Luo Shi's losses would be unimaginable.
Without the Duke of Zhao, what would be used to legally bring the Luo clan together, how to raise brave warriors, what to use to promote education, etc.
Although the artifact is powerful, it cannot replace the role of a political entity.
There is no benefit at all from the confrontation between the Luo family and the Han Dynasty. When the relationship between the Luo family and the Han Dynasty is at its best, it is when the Luo family develops the fastest, and it is also when the Han Dynasty develops at a high speed. This is called a win-win situation.
Liu Xun said to Liu Xiang who was standing next to him: "Zizheng, I have nothing to say to these thieves. Take them down and bring them to Tingwei for trial by me.
I feel that I have been too gentle since I came to the throne, so these thieves think that I am easy to bully.
This time I want to let the thieves in the world take a good look at the consequences and consequences of irritating me. "
Liu Xun's words were plain and indifferent, but the murderous intent in them was unprecedented. Liu Xiang was startled, bowed and said, "I obey."
"Zizheng."
Liu Xun called Liu Xiang again, and Liu Xiang turned around and looked at the emperor with some doubts. Liu Xun muttered: "Don't leak this matter during the interrogation.
You don’t need to pay attention to the rumors outside, but the court cannot admit it.
I don't want people in the world to know that there are thieves trying to drive a wedge between me and Luo.
Presumably Gongzi Qing thought the same way. "
Liu Xun looked at Luo Qing, who nodded solemnly and said: "What the emperor said is exactly what I wanted to say. It is not a good thing to publicize this matter."
There was no expression on Huo Guang's face, while Liu Xiang's expression was serious, as if he understood something, he lowered his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, I know it, and there will be no record in the document that King Wu Liu Bi and others are trying to instigate between you and the Luo family. Relationship."
After saying that, Liu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Liu Xun then looked at Luo Qing, sighed softly and said: "Young Master Qing, you and I, the two families, are almost going to fall into a place of eternal destruction just because of the words of such a villain."
Luo Qing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, we must punish him severely. Failure to kill him will not be enough to shock the world."

King Bi of Wu was convicted of treason and wrote: "The Bi clan committed a great crime and brought disaster to the country. The family tree was removed from the family tree, and they were deposed as common people. They were cut in half in the market and abandoned in the wilderness as a warning." - "Book of Han·Xiaoxuan Benji"
