In the court, there are only a few big shots who can speak well.
Sun Gusheng had great trust in Li Xiang, and it was Li Xiang who took the lead in tracking down the mole from the very beginning.
The general Guan Jing, who had been far away on the border, naturally became the object of Sun Gusheng's suspicion.
Even when Guan Jing was in Kyoto, he rarely went to court.
Sun Gusheng believed that the deeper a person hides, the more likely it is.
Li Xiang smiled and explained: "I doubted him at first, but after thinking about it, I realized that even if I betrayed His Highness, he would not betray His Highness."
Sun Gusheng asked: "Why?"
"Because he always has justice in his heart."
Li Xiang said with emotion: "I have seen so many people, but there has never been anyone like him. Your Highness, if you think about it carefully, Guan Jing has been staying at the border for twenty years. If he really wants to do something, I am afraid that this will happen." The world has long been in chaos."
As a general, Guan Jing should not stay at the border all the time. m.
After all, there are so many soldiers in Kyoto, so he should take the responsibility and coordinate these.
But Guan Jing left all matters in Kyoto to his lieutenant and went to the border alone.
This world is really strange. Even though the world has been unified, there are a steady stream of enemies emerging, wanting to overthrow this unity. Not only the All-Martial Arts Association and the Ten Thousand Demons Association, but also those border armies.
Not everyone is a warrior, it is the common people who have the most knowledge in this world.
Li Xiang said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have already secretly sent someone to deliver a message asking Guan Jing to rush back to Kyoto."
Sun Gusheng felt a little more at ease.
He looked at the wall and said slowly: "It's time to tidy it up."
…
…
At night, outside an inconspicuous courtyard in Kyoto.
Some people were wearing bamboo hats and walking hurriedly in the night.
When he came outside the small courtyard, he did not rush to take off the bamboo hat. Instead, he lowered the bamboo hat and walked towards the small courtyard step by step.
Arriving at the door of the small courtyard, a wave of demonic aura rose, and a figure appeared out of thin air, saying in a low voice: "Secret signal."
"Why not eat ground meat."
The man wearing a bamboo hat also lowered his voice and replied.
The man nodded and turned into a ball of evil energy again and dispersed.
The courtyard door slowly opened.
The man wearing a bamboo hat slowly walked into the courtyard, and then he dared to raise his head. When he looked up, he saw that about ten people had gathered in the courtyard, all dressed in the same clothes as him.
He slowly walked to a corner of the courtyard and stood there, picked up a cup of tea that had been placed on the stone table, took a sip, and kept looking at the courtyard door.
Everyone in this courtyard, like him, stared at the courtyard door.
Occasionally the courtyard door would open, and someone would come in again, but no one would communicate.
It wasn't until a person walked into the courtyard without a hat in a swaggering manner that everyone put down the tea in their hands and stood up straight.
I saw him say: "You are all important ministers of the court, and even more important ministers of the Ten Thousand Demons Association. Zhu Qing is here to thank you for your trust in the Ten Thousand Demons Association."
Zhu Qing is a well-known name in Kyoto.
Zhu Qing and Sun Yanshou were of the same generation, and were on a higher level than the Marquis of Zhennan.
There is a legendary story about Zhu Qing.
At first, Sun Yanshou was retreating steadily in the battle, was forced into danger, and almost died at the hands of others. But for some unknown reason, Zhu Qing, who was far away, suddenly appeared in front of Sun Yanshou and took the fatal blow for Sun Yanshou. of a knife.
Later, when the world was unified and Sun Yanshou ascended the throne, he named Zhu Qing the founding father of the country and promised that he would not die for committing a serious crime in repayment for the knife he had committed.
Although Zhu Qing is no longer in the court, there are many people in the court who are Zhu Qing's disciples. Therefore, even if Zhu Qing no longer interferes in the government affairs, there are still many people who will tell Zhu Qing about the affairs of the court. .
Someone immediately clasped their fists and responded: "Mr. Zhu Guo's words are serious, we are doing this for ourselves."
Zhu Qing smiled and said: "Vice General Chen, I have an important task for you."
The person who responded with clasped fists was the person who was hurrying in the night.
Some people present could not help but be surprised.
Some of them knew each other's identities, but they were still surprised when they heard Vice General Chen.
Because they all knew that this deputy general Chen was the most outstanding deputy general under Guan Jing and was responsible for Kyoto's armaments.
Everyone present believed that even though the Ten Thousand Demons Association was powerful, it could never pry a few people away.
One is the prime minister of the current dynasty, Li Xiang, and the other is Guan Jing.
Therefore, if it continues, Guan Jing's men and Li Xiang's men will naturally be unable to pry.
But Vice General Chen's appearance here today undoubtedly gave these people a shot in the arm.
Vice General Chen immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Please tell me, Duke Zhu, Chen Li will do his best for the Ten Thousand Demons Association."
Zhu Qing took out a secret envelope from his pocket and threw it towards Chen Li.
Chen Li took it and looked at it, frowning, his expression abnormal.
Zhu Qing looked at his expression and asked with a smile: "Vice General Chen, are you scared?"
Chen Li put away the secret scroll, shook his head and said: "I'm not afraid, but facing him, the chance of winning is very low."
On the sealed scroll, it was clearly written that Guan Jing had returned to Kyoto, and this time he was not alone, but had brought back the entire border army.
In the past, Guan Jing only returned to Kyoto alone, but this was the first time he brought back the entire border army.
If Guan Jing was the only one, Chen Li would naturally have something to do. Although the general was strong, he only had two hands to hold him to death. Even if he couldn't kill him, he would be able to hold him back for a long time.
But this time it was an entire border army.
The Border Army is recognized as the most terrifying army in the DPRK, for no other reason than that they are all warriors who crawled out of hell.
Zhu Qing said: "Vice General Chen, you can rest assured. You don't need to win this battle. All you need to do is delay their return to Beijing. Of course, I will send someone to help you."
Chen Li put away the secret scroll, cupped his fists and said, "Chen will definitely fulfill his mission."
Zhu Qing nodded and looked up at the others, "Tomorrow, our Ten Thousand Demons Association will be ready to take action. I believe you are all ready."
The others nodded in response.
Zhu Qing slowly exhaled, clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, after tomorrow, we will have the final say in this world!"
…
…
The sky is dim and bright.
After receiving the secret message from Prime Minister Li, Guan Jing rushed from the border to Kyoto without stopping.
Traveling day and night, the entire border army only rested for an hour at the same spot every day before continuing on the road.
At this time, Guan Jing and the border army were about to enter Kyoto.
Following Guan Jing was the commander of the Border Army, named Xu Yuanzhi. In his early years, he was just a ranger who traveled around the world. He had a fight with Guan Jing. After being convinced by Guan Jing, he voluntarily joined the Border Army.
From the current point of view, Xu Yuanzhi must have joined the Border Army instead of joining the All-Martial Arts Association, otherwise the world would be more chaotic.
Xu Yuanzhi is a real martial arts fanatic. In addition, Xu Yuanzhi has another specialty.
That's his hearing.
In fact, the hearing of ordinary warriors is far better than that of ordinary people. After cultivating to the realm of martial arts, they can hear from all directions. However, Xu Yuanzhi is even more outstanding in this regard and can hear unusual sounds hundreds of miles away. .
At this time, Xu Yuanzhi came to Guan Jing's side from the team and reminded: "General Guan, there is a noise."
Guan Jing raised his eyes and asked softly: "How many people are there?"
Xu Yuanzhi closed his eyes and listened with all his concentration to the unusual noise just now. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said: "There are many, probably more than twice as many as our border troops."
Guan Jing's expression suddenly became angry.
Apart from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only ones holding the Kyoto military talisman were Li Xiang and his deputy general Chen Li.
The first two people would naturally not do this, so the answer is obvious.
Xu Yuanzhi also guessed that it was Chen Li, so he asked: "General, should you kill or..."
If it were left to Xu Yuanzhi to decide, he would naturally kill them all, but all the troops in Kyoto were brought out by Guan Jing, and their palms and backs were full of flesh. Xu Yuanzhi had to ask Guan Jing's opinion on this matter.
Guan Jing's eyes were sharp and he looked into the distance.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves finally sounded, and in the distance a dark army was rushing towards the border army.
Guan Jing rode the horse's belly and shouted loudly: "Kill!"
With Guan Jing's words, the border troops immediately became excited and all rushed forward on horseback.
The two armies were fighting, and there was a sound of fighting.
Although the border army is terrifying, these soldiers and horses in Kyoto are obviously not vegetarians.
They are all taught by the same master. Even if there are differences, they are not much different.
Guan Jing took the lead and broke into the formation, but no one in Kyoto's army dared to stop him.
The reason is simple, there is no stopping it.
A few unsighted people wanted to see how much progress they had made during this period, but as soon as they met Guan Jing, a knife mark was scratched on their necks and they fell off the horse.
Guan Jing rushed into the formation with a clear goal.
To capture the thief, capture the king first.
Naturally, he wanted to find Chen Li first, and then directly execute the traitor.
He handed him the military talisman of Kyoto, which shows how much Guan Jing trusted Chen Li, but he never expected that Chen Li would betray him in the end.
At this time, Guan Jing was like the god of death coming, and the overwhelming killing intent made people shudder even from a distance.
Chen Li was at the rear of the army at this time. He was watching the battle from the rear. Suddenly, a soldier ran towards him on horseback and said in a panic: "General Chen, we can't stop General Guan."
Chen Li slowly let out a breath of filthy air, but he did not think about going forward to fight Guan Jing. Instead, he turned his horse's head and cursed angrily: "A bunch of trash! Let them stop me with their lives, and the rest of you, protect me." Walk!"
At this moment, Chen Li did not want to distinguish himself from Guan Jing like a man, but wanted to survive.
Although the soldiers had some objections to Chen Li in their hearts, Chen Li had indeed won the hearts of many people when they were in Kyoto. At this moment, they all protected Chen Li and wanted to help him escape from here first.
The purpose of Chen Li's trip was to delay. He also knew that there was a high probability that this battle would be lost. Although he had some illusions at the beginning, looking at the bravery of the border troops, he could only be forced to accept the reality.
But completing Zhu Qing's mission was enough.
Chen Li immediately fled on horseback, but a sword had already struck Chen Li.
The people protecting Chen Li immediately shouted a reminder: "General Chen, be careful!"
And he himself faced the sword, but in just an instant, his head and body were separated.
Chen Li panicked when he saw this scene.
He knew how powerful Guan Jing was, but he didn't expect that Guan Jing would take another step forward.
The subordinate just now was his confidant, and his strength was unquestionable. Even if it was difficult to face the sword, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
At this time, Chen Li could only continue to slap the horse's butt and escape faster.
However, Chen Li suddenly felt a darkness on his head.
When he raised his head, he saw a knife hanging above his head.
"Chen Li, take your life!"
Some people died, but not completely...
