Chapter 39: Suspicion of the Imperial City
After the joy of reunion, Pujina and Tacola held their cheeks and watched Chen Rufeng and Han Ling discussing something in a low voice.
At this moment, everyone is nestled in a hotel in Qunu City, and there is no sign of moving the dishes on the table. Pugiina and Tacora have already been hungry to play drums, while Chen Rufeng and Han Ling are still whispering. Out of courtesy, they are also embarrassed to interrupt.
It was not until Tacola's stomach muttered inappropriately that Han Ling and Chen Rufeng turned their eyes to them and saw their hunger. They quickly stopped talking and hurriedly ate.
"Your method of life-and-death training is really too dangerous." Han Ling picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but did not start eating. His eyes showed concern. He just listened to Chen Rufeng elaborate on his experience, and he successively expressed his views. He was very opposed to the point of life and death training. "Use his life as a bet to force himself to a desperate situation. If he can survive, it will make Zhenqi rise to a higher level. If you fail, you will have to pay an eternal life.
"Ask for wealth and danger!" The method of life and death to practice qi was taught by Jin Yilai. Although Chen Rufeng has been in distress several times, he has also benefited a lot from it. So far, he has reached the stage of a medium-level practitioner, and many practitioners of qi can reach this stage in a short period of time.
Han Ling still frowned and disagreed with Jin Yilai's practice in the bottom of his heart, but this method of practicing qi is obviously deeply rooted in Chen Rufeng's mind. No matter how much he says, he can't shake it. I'm afraid that in the future, as soon as the teenager sees the critical situation, his head will be hot and he will rush forward with the words of life and death. Put yourself in danger.
"Bear by the way, do you have any clue about Yinfanism?" Chen Rufeng didn't want to pester this topic anymore, so he simply moved to another place. At the same time, he was also asking Pujina and Tacora. They also shook their heads unheard of.
Han Ling said, "Or I can entrust His Majesty to investigate this matter, which may really be related to those who have chased you. Maybe they are from the Yinfan religion.
"Yes, they are likely to be the murderers who killed Sack." Speaking of this, Chen Rufeng quickly closed the words, and Pujina's hand, which had been sending food into her mouth, suddenly stopped.
In the room, she immediately fell into a dark silence, and it could be seen that tears flashed in Pujina's eyes.
Soon, Chen Rufeng's victory in the martial arts club spread throughout the Qu Women's City, especially in the imperial city.
After all, Chen Rufeng was also a high-profile wanted criminal. Now he has become innocent through martial arts, breaking the law that no one has ever won the martial arts club. After discussion by his ministers, King Palat also felt that this martial arts would not be reasonable, so he canceled this annual prison. The grand event.
So, Chen Rufeng's martial arts meeting became a masterpiece.
At the same time, after careful and in-depth investigation, no tangible evidence can be found to prove that Chen Rufeng and Han Ling were the murderers of Master Tianlian. As for why Tiansong wanted to spit blood, this is still a mystery in their hearts.
Today, Han Ling and Chen Rufeng were also drafted into the palace.
The two easily entered the gate of the imperial city. After all, Chen Rufeng entered the imperial city for the first time. He was still full of curiosity about the magnificent palace and the customs full of Brahma flavor, and his eyes were almost empty.
When the two were about to walk into the four-cornered garden in front of the palace, a broad-waisted man dressed in luxurious clothes with a sword around his waist came to them.
"K Crewe!" Chen Rufeng exclaimed, "Aren't you dismissed?"
"Since you are no longer guilty, I will naturally be reinstated." Crew smiled and turned his eyes to Han Ling, who also greeted him politely with his fists.
"I'm here to inform you that His Majesty has something important to do. Please come to the guest house and wait for his summons." Crew bowed and spread the message, and the two nodded clearly, "Let me show them the way."
Chen Rufeng was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that Crewe was also so polite to him. His impression of Crewe was still his domineering when he was in prison.
"I heard that you actually made Arkas half-defeated. Middle-earth is indeed a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, and the master is like a cloud." As the three walked, Crew said to Chen Rufeng with a smile.
Chen Rufeng's face turned red, and Crew praised him as a master. He really didn't dare to do it. He just said, "Lucid...just lucky..."
KRU smiled and continued to lead them away.
After a while, Crew led them to a guest house, which was elegant and full of Tianzhu style, several times more luxurious than their residence in the hotel.
Opening the door, Crewe ordered the Tianzhu maid at the door to have a good rest and wait for the king's call later.
When the door closed again, Han Ling immediately pulled Chen Rufeng aside and tried to stay away from the door.
Chen Rufeng's face was frightened, and Han Ling's face showed rare seriousness.
"Listen, this matter is of great importance. Don't tell others that only you and I can know." Han Ling lowered his voice.
"What's the matter?"
Han Ling closed his eyes, felt that he had traveled around the house for a week, and confirmed that there were no suspicious people, and then said, "General Gao Xianzhi has led a large army to secretly station outside Qunu City. If we encounter something unexpected, only the arrow in my arms will attack Qu Women's City as soon as the cloud-piercing arrow shoots the sky."
Chen Rufeng was shocked and opened his eyes in disbelief.
"So we must be cautious. This imperial city is not a safe place. I always feel that there is something wrong here, but I can't tell where there is something wrong. Han Ling's eyes continued to glance around warily.
"Why didn't you say it early in the morning?" Chen Rufeng said in panic, and he didn't expect that the scene of life and war in Qu Women's City was so close, and whether the war was launched or not was in Han Ling's hands.
"I have been with Tacola and Pujina before, and there is no top-secret environment, so I dare not say it." Han Ling whispered, and Chen Rufeng looked at him uneasily, with a trace of deep thought in his eyes.
"You... won't launch this war arbitrarily, will you?" Chen Rufeng asked, although he believed that Han Ling was not those who were interested in killing, he was also afraid that he would shoot arrows through the clouds because of a momentary urgency, which would lead to a disaster in Qu Nvcheng.
"Of course. I hardly thought I would use it." Han Ling patted the bamboo tube in his arms.
There was a strange movement outside the window, like the sound of the body passing the leaves, which immediately shocked the two of them. Han Ling walked quickly to the window and opened the window. He saw a forest next to the window, which was the royal forest in the imperial city for those noble ministers to hunt.
"Someone, chase!" Han Ling took the lead in throwing himself into the woods, and Chen Rufeng quickly followed him. The two figures were like lightning, splitting through leaf forests, and finally their feet fell on the soft soil.
High trees stand everywhere, and there are also birds and beasts roaring. From time to time, hares escape and shuttle through the low grass, as if they have noticed that someone has broken in, and those living in this hunting forest have to become sensitive and frightening.
Han Ling looked around to find the place of the escaped man, but there was no trace at all.
"Oh! There is a hole there!" Chen Rufeng shouted, pointing to an inconspicuous pit in a pile of grass, which was also the size of a table. If he didn't pay attention to it, he would think it was a trap to catch prey.
"It's weird!" Han Ling stared at the hole for a moment, then took a step and came closer to take a closer look. Sure enough, the pit is actually a small entrance, with a step extending straight into the depths of the earth.
Han Ling and Chen Rufeng looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. Finally, Han Ling took the lead and approached the pit. Chen Rufeng also hesitated for a moment, glanced around again, and then followed Han Ling and fell into the hole.
As soon as he entered the pit, the soil mixed with the smell of leaves filled the surroundings. As he walked down, the bright square behind him was gradually left far behind, and Han Ling took out his fire folds, lit a bright light, and led it in front.
For a moment, the two finally went down the stairs and walked on the flat ground, but the ground was also uneven. Sometimes Chen Rufeng even felt that his feet were stepping on the soft soil, but his subconsciously told him that this was the feces of a certain animal, which made his chest feel stuffy.
Han Ling's footsteps stopped and Chen Rufeng, who had been watching the ground carefully, in case he stepped on something that should not have stepped on, almost hit his back.
With the light of the fire fold, there are three fork in front of it, just like a chicken claw.
Chen Rufeng thought about whether to continue to walk, while Han Ling thought about which side to go.
is very light, with a crackling sound, like the sound of blisters cracking. Han Ling raised his eyes, pointed to the road on the left, and said, "There is an abnormal noise. Go this way!" He made a decision and ran forward. Chen Rufeng had no time to shout, so he had to stand on tiptoe and follow him.
However, as he went forward, those abnormal noises never appeared again. Chen Rufeng even doubted in his heart whether Han Ling had heard it wrong.
Finally, the two reached the end of the road.
In front of him, there was a separate cell. The iron fence stood and was rusty. There was a torch hanging on the wall, and the firelight shone on the face of the man locked by the iron fence.
The man's gasp still exists. Fortunately, he is not a dead man, Chen Rufeng thought, but why is this person imprisoned here?
Han Ling stared at the man's face, and his face changed. He quickly approached, leaned against the iron fence, and finally saw the man's face clearly.
Parat! King Palat!
However, this face is much pale and haggard than the Palat he had seen before. This Pratt closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. He was not as luxurious as before. Now he is just a depressed prisoner.
"How could this happen?" Han Ling was surprised. He shook the iron rail and made a squeaky sound, trying to wake up the sleeping Pratt, but he seemed to be sleeping deeply, his chest was undulating, and he was wearing a brocade coat that was already stained and could not see the pattern clearly.
And Chen Rufeng just looked at the man strangely at this moment. He had never seen Parat before, so naturally he didn't know who this strange person who appeared in the mysterious prison was.
"He is the king we want to meet, Pratt." Han Ling put his hands down from the iron fence and said in a heavy tone. Chen Rufeng couldn't believe it and looked at the sleeping person in the prison.
"I'm afraid you've come to a place you shouldn't have come." A cold voice came from behind the two, which shocked Chen Rufeng. The two quickly looked back. The outline of the person melted out of the darkness and looked pale in the light of the fire.
