The drastic changes in Cangzhou were not covered up.
Sitting in the hall, Su Waner frowned. She couldn't understand that this dynasty was in such a bad state, and there were so many lunatics who were willing to join in the national disaster.
"Draft an edict and say that the Golden Sword Guard Chen Lu coerced Your Majesty into plotting rebellion. He deserves to be punished for his crime. The world is very lucky."
The eunuch was ordered to take orders quickly.
Su Waner breathed out and did not look at the reactions of the civil and military officials. On the left and right, everyone who can stand here is hers. Before, she thought Chen Lu was the same.
But he never thought that this old madman would actually have such a choice.
"Ah Qi, he's kicking me."
Regardless of being in the palace, Su Waner rubbed her belly and laughed softly.
"The Queen, something bad has happened..." At this time, a commander of the iron guards hurriedly walked into the palace.
"What's wrong?"
The commander walked closer and said with a trembling voice, "Golden Sword Guard Chen Lu has hidden all the expectant women."
"Did he kill?"
"I don't know either. These people were still staying in Leng Palace. The people patrolling the sentry are all from Chen Lu."
Amelia Su closed her eyes.
She knew that there were many spies and spies in Cangzhou City. If this matter is not handled well, it is very likely that the great cause will turn into a wisp of smoke.
"Okay, okay. Chen Lu, the old madman went to his death and still retained such a skill."
"Another order will be sent to the palace, and more manpower will be deployed to patrol the palace. All entry and exit matters will be placed under the control of Tie Ziying."
After saying that, Su Waner raised her head and looked outside the hall. It's been two days, and the first rain in Huaiyue is still falling relentlessly.
…
The news that could not be hidden was brought to Liangzhou City by Ye Xiao's group.
"The King of Heaven whips Chen Lu." Xu Mu looked a little puzzled. In my impression, this Heavenly King Whip is an extremely opportunistic person. He changed his master four times and was ruthless and cunning.
It is precisely this kind of person who is willing to help Yuan An and make the final counterattack.
"Wenlong, what do you think?"
"I can't see clearly, what is the purpose of Chen Lu's move? Glory and wealth? This is not easy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape from death. Lord, I prefer to use the fickleness of human nature as a way to understand."
"This is a lunatic." Xu Mu sighed. If possible, he hoped that Chen Lu and Yuan An could make a bigger fuss, and it would be best to simply kill the Demon Queen.
"Beside Queen Su, there is a quick sword Ah Qi. He is loyal and brave. It is very difficult to kill Queen Su with this person. This time, Chen Lu made a mistake and was counterattacked by Demon Empress Su. All efforts were wasted. .”
"Where's Yuan An?"
"The Night Owl Team can't find any information, but he should not be dead. After all, Long Zi has not been born yet. On the surface, the Cangzhou royal family still needs a puppet to transition."
"My lord, I still say the same thing. What Queen Su is planning may be terrible. I, Xishu, have made preparations early."
Reminiscent of the people who crossed the river naked to make money, at least tens of thousands of them took the opportunity to sneak into Cangzhou. Jia Zhou's analysis was not wrong. The Demon Queen was playing a big game.
It's a pity that the incident in Zhaowu County occurred outside Liangzhou, which made him temporarily distracted and did not return to Shu immediately.
"Chao Yi's 5,000 men have joined forces with more than 3,000 Qiang cavalry and have begun to resist the Dalun Kingdom's troops outside Yumen Pass."
Yu Dang's tribe had previously beaten up the envoy of the Great Lun Kingdom. Due to emotions and reasons, there will be a group of aliens who will come outside Yumen Pass to provoke and take revenge.
This is also the reason why Xu Mu sent Chao Yi. Of course, he felt relieved about Chao Yi.
For now, although Liangdi has been calmed down. But for a time, drastic changes occurred in Cangzhou. The road to looking up to the world is still endless.
"If we had a guide when we went to the Western Regions, many problems would be easier to solve." Xu Mu said helplessly. What is urgent is that he has to resolve the affairs of the Western Regions and Zhaowu County.
Even if the Silk Road cannot be opened immediately, at least the passage must be sorted out before leaving Liangzhou. Again, it would be best if there is someone who has been to the Western Regions.
As for the so-called Dalun Kingdom, it is not considered the Western Region at all. In the real Western Region, travel would take at least two or three months.
Jia Zhou, who was next to him, suddenly paled. "My lord, I remember that Captain Li Zhiqiu seemed to have been recuperating in the Western Regions?"
When Xu Mu listened, his expression became bright for a moment.
"Wen Long, you are not wrong. When he came out of Changyang, Captain Li was seriously injured and was chased by traitors, so he went to the Western Regions to recuperate."
The assassination of the traitorous prime minister failed. I heard that it was the young Marquis who sent him out of Changyang.
"Master Li is dead, Xiaoyao should know about it. However, Xiaoyao is still in the General Hall in Shuzhou... My lord, why don't you ask the Master of the Shangguan Hall first? He happens to be supervising the delivery of food and grass for the rebel army and is still in Liangzhou."
"Very good."
…
In front of Liangzhou City, Shangguan Shu looked confused. We were all ready to ride back when we suddenly heard the news that the chief helmsman had summoned us.
"Dad, what kind of person is the chief helmsman?" Beside Shangguan Shu, a girl with a sword and a heroic look on her face was full of expectations for a moment and couldn't help but ask.
"He must be a great hero with unparalleled martial arts. Although he is also the king of Western Shu, he is extremely brave and dares to capture the enemy's chief among thousands of troops."
Shangguan Shu's mouth twitched, "Only the one from the inner city can do the kind of person you mentioned. Our chief helmsman's martial arts... aren't very good."
It's already a very euphemistic way of saying it. It's not very good. In fact, it doesn't even know how to do it. Of course, this does not affect Shangguan Shu's worship of Xu Mu. It happened that this person who did not know martial arts brought a new life to Xiaerduo.
"Yan'er, please don't be rude when you meet the chief helmsman."
"Can I ask for some martial arts lessons?"
"The chief helmsman is afraid of hurting you... he won't take action."
The heroic girl showed a sly smile, and she had already made up her mind.
"Master Shangguan Hall, the helmsman is here."
Following the words of his confidant, Shangguan straightened his robes, raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked at the dozens of figures approaching on horseback.
The more than 300 knights who were in charge of food and grass all clasped their fists and shouted in just a moment.
"The mountains and rivers are foggy, don't wait for a while in white clothes with a sword on your back!"
"Greetings to the chief helmsman!"
Xu Mu, who was riding on a horse, heard the sudden sound of worship. Most of these heroes were loud drinkers and meat eaters. Suddenly, his body twitched.
"The mountains and rivers are covered in mist, don't wait for a while in white clothes with a sword on your back! The master of Fangzheng Hall, Shangguan Shu, pays his respects to the chief helmsman!"
"You're welcome." Xu Mu smiled. It is a fantasy for a person who does not know martial arts to lead a group of martial arts masters.
But luckily, he did.
"Shangguan Yan pays his respects to the chief helmsman!"
"You're welcome—"
Following the sound, Xu Mu was about to turn his head when he saw a figure suddenly coming out with a sword.
"Eh?"
Xu Mu's face was startled, and he hurriedly pulled on General Feng's reins. General Feng was a good and sensible horse. He immediately put down his legs, carried Xu Mu on his back, and ran to the side. While fleeing, the wily General Feng kept hissing in warning.
In the blink of an eye, he ran two miles away.
The Shangguan girl, who was holding the unsheathed sword and wanted to test the skills of the chief helmsman, froze on the spot.
"He is the... chief rudder of thirty states in the world?"
Yin Liuxia, who was also about to draw his sword, seemed to understand and began to chase the horse back.
"Master, this is not an assassination attempt! Come back, Master, come back!"
"Come back!"
