Not to mention Tao Weiran and He Mowen, who were preparing to return to the capital day and night, there were already rumors in the capital that the assassin was from Chu Qing.
In fact, the so-called Tianhuang nobles, princes, and powerful families do not have a good reputation among the people. On the contrary, Chu Qing's reputation is very good.
Chu Qing asked the assassin to stab a prince, a prince whose name he couldn't even pronounce. The most common people in the capital could do was talk after tea and dinner.
But the assassin was stabbed by the old monk Shangshan, so he suffered a terrible disaster, and the rumors spread by the people changed a bit.
Chu Qing didn't understand how the Supreme Being could move Dachang in just a few days, and he didn't even understand that it was nothing more than walking around the city and kneeling in the way of an ascetic monk. What was more surprising was that he just didn't eat or drink. There were so many capable people and strangers. Yes, Zhao Baodan also said that if you inediate yourself, you can also go without eating or drinking for a long time.
As a result, this is the case now. Many people have begun to "speak" of Chu Qing. They don't talk about King You, but they just say that Master Shangshan should not be "accidentally injured".
With the people, Chu Qing did not go to Cao Mu Tang. When he just left the palace, Tan Ma came to report. King You asked his entourage to carry him back to Prince Wu's Mansion, which was Chang Chengke's mansion.
There is no Prince You's Mansion in Beijing, only Prince Yong's Mansion and Prince Wu's Mansion. For some unknown reason, after Lao Ba entered the capital, he lived in Prince Wu's Mansion, but the owner of this palace, Chang Chengke, went to the academy.
When they arrived outside Prince Wu's Mansion, there was already someone waiting there, one of Prince You's entourage.
Before the follower could speak, Chu Qing pushed the former away: "He also said that King You had arrived long ago and I would come, right?"
Still not waiting for the attendant to speak, Jiang Yuesheng kicked his foot into the snow.
The attendant was very innocent. He wanted to say that King You had just taken the decoction and fell asleep.
He led a group of exploring horses to the backyard and went straight to the wing.
Not to mention, as far as the prince’s reputation is concerned, Chang Chengshun really doesn’t have much. There are neither beautiful maids nor strong nurses. They are just ordinary servants. When they saw Chu Qing coming, they all knelt on the ground and no one talked nonsense. , shivering.
They had just been released a few days ago, and they were afraid of being caught again. That ugly and ghost-like "martial soldier" was so damn scary.
Pushing the door open, he saw Chang Chengshun on the bed.
Chu Qing laughed: "Why don't you sleep? Get up and have a good time."
As if entering his own house, Chu Qing picked up the stool and sat in front of the bed.
Chang Chengshun had just taken the medicine when he felt sleepy. Chu Qing came not long after falling asleep.
"Didn't you say that I, the commander-in-chief, was coming? Why did you still fall asleep?"
Seeing that Chang Chengshun didn't seem to be pretending to sleep, Chu Qing gently said to them, "I'm talking to you."
Chang Chengshun finally opened his eyes, braced himself, and spoke weakly: "Assassin, have you found out the identity?"
"No, I'm here to ask you."
Chang Chengshun, whose face was pale, raised the corners of his mouth: "Wang Baohu, one of the assassins, was originally a refugee, and later became a farmer in the southern suburbs. His parents died, and he had only one sister. He was sold to a wealthy family and suffered torture and humiliation. Wang Baohu survived. He paid for money for a long time, but could not redeem his sister, so I ordered people to assassinate King You and Master Shang Shan. You don’t need to do anything, just commit suicide, and I will bring his sister out."
Jiang Yuesheng shouted: "Sure enough, you framed my family!"
The third brother glanced at Jiang Yuesheng and didn't understand why this guy was excited, why he was always excited because of things he already knew.
Chu Qing shrugged and said with a smile: "You must bring this Wang Baohu girl out, otherwise, I will look down on you."
"Hahaha…"
Chang Chengshun laughed wildly at first, and then coughed violently. Chu Qing waited patiently.
After coughing for a while, Chang Chengshun's smile was very contemptuous: "If I, the king, really rescued this villager's girl, wouldn't I ask you Qianqiying to find out about me?"
"You are indeed a clever little kid." Chu Qing scratched his chin: "You are still a little clever kid that makes people look down upon."
"Cao Feng, frontier army, Beiguan frontier army, horse archers, there is nothing to say, they are just dead soldiers recruited by the palace in the early years."
Fu San frowned and interjected: "The horse archer is good with the bow, but even though he uses a knife, he can't hit it so accurately. If it doesn't hurt your life, it can seriously injure you?"
"What the strong man Fu San said is right. Cao Feng is good at shooting, but his sword skills are not exquisite. However, after practicing for nearly a year and only practicing this sword, he is naturally able to chop accurately."
Chu Qing's expression changed slightly: "Have you been practicing for nearly a year?"
"It's been a while." Chang Chengshun's smile changed again, and he became elated: "Guess, Commander, why he wants to practice this sword."
"Because I want to touch your waist?"
"I will tell you a time, and you can guess whether it's okay or not."
"I guess your uncle."
"Late summer and early autumn."
Chu Qing was confused, and the third brother blurted out: "Copy Dapu Temple!"
"That's right." Chang Chengshun coughed twice more and continued: "At that time, I became friends with you. Commander Chu, I think the swordsmanship of this dead man in my palace is not bad."
Chu Qing broke through his guard again, gritted his teeth and said, "You were already thinking about me at that time, just because you raided Dapu Temple?"
"At that time, I knew that you wanted to destroy the Buddha and that you admired Taoism."
Chu Qing's expression changed again and again. After many confusions, he finally had a clear answer.
After raiding the Dapu Temple, Qianqiying Tanma went to various state capitals to crack down on the temples that were releasing loan sharks and strictly prohibited the matter. Huang Laosi contributed a lot. Once the emperor got involved, the intensity would definitely be different. The results can be imagined .
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's funny, it's so ridiculous."
Chang Chengshun showed that proud look again: "I think the commander-in-chief has not been able to sleep these days, thinking over and over again, wondering why the king came to the capital. It's ridiculous. It's very ridiculous. I, the king, was not because of your majesty's departure from the capital. I entered the capital to supervise the country, but it was because of you, because you, the great commander, returned to the capital that I entered the capital."
Chu Qing's pupils shrank like needlepoints.
At that time, his actions reminded the other party of "destroying the Buddha". From then on, Chang Chengshun began to prepare, letting the dead man practice the sword technique, and practice the sword technique that could kill him or almost kill him.
I think it was also at that time that the unruly man named Wang Baohu in the fiefdom became Lechang Chengshun's pawn.
"A friend told me that you should act accordingly. You can't act on many things without understanding everything. It's really a true insight."
Chu Qing said without starting to finish, and asked with a smile: "Where is the Taoist priest? I heard that he is a master of swordsmanship. There are very few Taoist sects. What clue did you get?"
"Zhu Hui, the master of Changyun Temple, even if you check it, it will be useless, because the Taoist temple has been destroyed long ago."
"Does the Taoist temple also lend money?"
"No, it was destroyed by three disciples of the Hidden Sect."
Chu Qing was full of confusion, but Chang Chengshun explained himself without waiting for questions.
"Zhu Hui was originally a prostitute in the fiefdom. He was caught by the government and built a Taoist temple incognito. However, the outer disciples of the Three Hidden Sects found out about his whereabouts. Zhu Hui was not caught, so they burned the Taoist temple. But they didn’t know that Zhu Hui had a baby girl who was hiding in the Taoist temple, but her life was wasted because of this fire.”
Chu Qing's heart thumped: "So he wants to take revenge on the Three Hidden Sects?"
"This man went crazy and ran to the government, saying that he was a Japanese thief. However, I rescued him because this man was a good sword."
"You are so mean, do you want to save the Japanese thief?"
"I ordered people to buy three beautiful maids in the fief for his enjoyment. When the three beautiful maids became pregnant, I told him that he, Zhu Hui, was pregnant, but he was going to die and came to the capital for assassination. The Great Master, use the Tao sword to stab the Great Master, if not..."
"What if not?"
"Three corpses, six lives, I will execute those three beautiful maids!"
Chu Qing grabbed Chang Chengshun's hair and took him off the bed.
Chang Chengshun smiled crazily: "Those three beautiful maids were destroyed by my men when Zhu Hui entered the capital. Commander Chu, you have no evidence. Hahahaha, you are killing me like a mad dog." If the king drags you out, what will the people think of you, hahaha."
Chu Qing, whose face was full of rage, stopped and let go of his hand.
Lowering his head, Chu Qing took a deep breath: "Chang Chengshun, what on earth are you going to do!"
King You turned around with difficulty and lay down on the cold snow. There was no sarcasm or madness on his face, and he was very calm.
"Tenth brother."
This was the first time King You called Chu Qing this way, and it also made Chu Qing feel nauseous.
"Follow me and practice. You can't take anything with you. Only your karma stays with you. Let me prosper Buddhism with you. What you see and what you care about are all false and delusional."
Chu Qing opened his mouth wide: "You have done so much just to make me believe in Buddhism?"
"Bago, I don't want to do any more killings. Don't force me, Bago... to destroy everything you care about."
"Just you?"
Chang Chengshun closed his eyes and murmured: "Now, isn't it slowly being destroyed? Don't force me anymore. What you care about and what you have paid for are all vain. If you don't believe it, it will be a lie." Brother, in the next few days, Brother Bage will just show you that the human heart is not the mind of the Buddha. If it is not the mind of the Buddha, it is unintentional. Why do you care about unintentional people? If it is not unintentional, then eight people have great abilities. , can’t take away what you care about.”
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he suddenly turned around to look at Jiang Yuesheng.
"Tell Tao Ruolin, Qiu Wanshan, and Liao Wenzhi exactly what he said. Take action within twelve hours. I want You Wang Chang Chengshun to die!"
Chang Chengshun showed a crazy smile again: "It's useless if you kill me."
"wrong!"
Chu Qing's brows jumped wildly: "You are just a fucking migrant worker. The real promoter is that old bald ass Shangshan. He is the one who is targeting me!"
