Chapter 553 The Fierce Bureau

Late night, Puzhou Post.

The King of Jin and his party did not enter the state city. In order to speed up the journey, they directly stayed in the post office on Guanlu.

It's been a hard journey, and everyone is sleeping soundly. At this moment, a sad cry suddenly came from the woodshed where Wei was detained.

Li Junxian was leading the sentry. He came in a hurry when he heard the news and opened the door. Wei, who was tied up, was twitching on the ground, and his face was covered with white foaming at the corners of his mouth. Obviously, he was highly poisoned!

Li Junxian suddenly became angry: "What's going on?"

After drinking it just now, Wei waited for a moment and seemed to be out of breath.

"Who did it?" Li Junxian was furious and roared, "Catch everyone in the post hall, block the nearby passage, and be sure to catch the murderer!"

"Yes!!"

With this noise, the whole post hall suddenly exploded. There were a lot of people in the party of the King of Jin, plus the officials and gentlemen who passed by and the primers of the post hall, there were a total of six or seven hundred people, all of whom could not sleep and woke up from the noise. Li Junxian gathered everyone together to investigate the murderer.

At dawn, people from Puzhou Yamen also came. Li Junxian revealed his identity and strictly ordered the assassin to seize the murderer in the shortest time. Because the deceased was a recidivist in the court, the body must be transported back to the imperial capital!

The governor of Puzhou was unlucky. After receiving such a big case, the whole state fell into a state of tension and bustle.

The news that the imperial court recidivisted Wei's death in Puzhou Yi also quickly spread all over.

Because of the case, the king of Jin and his entourage delayed for a day in Puzhou, and then still set off for Chang'an. Wei's "body" was loaded into a coffin and transported back together.

After entering the boundary of Chang'an, Li Chunfeng suddenly said, don't go directly into Chang'an, but turn around and take a detour from Zhongnan Mountain. Li Zhi and Li Junxian did not dare to ask more questions, so they had to follow their words. At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Li Chunfeng asked the king of Jin and his party to go up the mountain by themselves later. Before leaving, Li Chunfeng said to the King of Jin that he saw a fire in a place on Zhongnan Mountain this night, that is, where the King of Wu was located. Let the King of Jin send people to the mountain to rescue as soon as possible!

Li Chunfeng made such a mysterious secret. Li Junxian and Li Zhi were full of suspicion, but because he came under the order of the Holy Spirit, he did not dare to ask more, so he had to accept it.

Therefore, more than 500 people and horses of the king of Jin camped at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and temporarily rested. When the fire broke out on the mountain after nightfall, he went up the mountain to save people.

Along the way, Wei's coffins were guarded by special personnel, and today is no exception. The carriage with coffins was covered with a marching tent. Li Junxian reprimanded left and right into the tent in person, and then knocked on the coffin board.

"Aren't you here? Let me out!" There was a voice from inside.

If it hadn't been for knowing that there were living people in the coffin, no one would have been scared.

Li Junxian smiled and moved the moving coffin board. Wei, who was painted dark, sat up from inside, and his face was really scary like Rasha.

"I'm suffothed to death! Let's make two more holes under this coffin board later!" Wei said while wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"No." Li Junxian handed him two steamed buns, "I've wronged you these days. Now we have reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

Wei's action of biting steamed buns was stagnant, "Have you arrived in Chang'an?"

"That's right." Li Junxian frowned and said, "At present, this chaotic situation, I think it's time for the dust to settle down. Later, as long as there is a big fire in Zhongnan Mountain. Everything... is out of the water!"

Zhungan Mountain, deep in the dense forest.

Zhao Chong walked step by step in the dark forest, his eyes were like eagles and falcons, shining in the dark night.

When he walked under a towering locust tree, Zhao Chong stood still. Because he saw a person standing under the tree, it was too dark to see his face clearly, and he saw that the white robes were floating, which was quite a little ghostly.

"Are you here?" The man in white asked.

"Yes, I'm coming." Zhao Chong said, "Have you finally appeared? We are all impatient to wait."

"Then." The man in white suddenly threw something at Zhao Chong, and Zhao Chong reached out to receive it.

is an extremely delicate small box. Zhao Chong opened it, and suddenly a strange light flashed, shining this darkness like the day!

It was also through this strange light that Zhao Chong and the people in white saw each other's faces clearly. The two looked at each other tacitly and smiled, and Zhao Chong covered the box again.

"Good baby!"

"This pearl is called 'Holy Bodhi', which is a strange treasure presented by the Silla Kingdom. It was once only inlaid on the crown of King Silla and is valuable. At the beginning, Silla was besieged by Goguryeo and Baekje and asked to save the Tang Dynasty, so he offered this treasure. The man in white said, "Take it and fly away. Don't appear in the Central Plains again!"

Zhao Chong smiled and said, "This is much less than the reward given by the King of Wei."

"Not necessarily." The man in white usually said, "The king of Wei gave you money for your life, and the Holy Bodhi is your pension money. Which one do you choose?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Chong put the small box in his arms with a smile, patted it, and said with a smile, "If Zhao can live to this day, your majesty has treated me well. Now you give me a jewel to let me go and fly away. Zhao is contented.

"Where is His Royal Highness King Wu?" The man in white asked.

"I'm asleep." Zhao Chong said, "In the afternoon, my people saw a group of soldiers and horses coming at the foot of the mountain. After searching, I learned that it was the King of Jin and his entourage. Among them... I saw you - Li Taishi! Zhao knew that it was time to end everything. Therefore, Zhao gave a little ecze to His Royal Highness the King of Wu during dinner to make him sleep soundly.

"Very good. Your work is really reassuring. Li Taishi, Li Chunfeng, said in a low voice, "Well, now you go!"

Zhao Chong gritted his teeth and whispered, "What will happen to everyone in the Taoist temple, including King Wu?"

"Don't ask more questions." Li Chunfeng's voice sank, "There are some things that you shouldn't know!"

"Okay, I'll go... I'll go!" Zhao Chong took a deep breath and nodded with his eyebrows, "Although Zhao is a reckless person, he believes in the word 'righteous' first in his life. This time..."

"What is meaning? What is great righteousness and what is small righteousness?

Zhao Chong was stunned and sighed helplessly, "Well, Zhao understands... The dignity of the royal family and the stability of the society are the greatest righteousness in the world!"

"Just understand." Li Chunfeng said lightly, "Let's go! You are already a dead man, and you should not appear in the Tang Dynasty from now on. The secret treasure of the palace like the Holy Bodhi cannot be reproduced in the Central Plains.

"Zhao understands..." Zhao Chong nodded, "I'm far away from the Western Regions and will never return to the Central Plains!"

"It's good to go to the Western Regions." Li Chunfeng said leisurely, "If you see that person, you can tell him the details of the case of King Wu. And tell him that His Majesty has always trusted him and valued him, and... I miss him very much!"

"Oh!" Zhao Chong smiled and said, "How does Li Taishi know that I will meet that person? ...I know too much. He is an ominous person. In order not to implice my friends, I will only live quietly from now on, and I will not meet anyone - goodbye!"

After saying that, Zhao Chong's figure flashed and disappeared into the dense forest.

Li Chunfeng sighed gently, shook his head and said to himself, "It's true that people don't care about themselves, heaven and earth are destroyed! ...Now the world is full of trouble, and everyone is like a chess piece on the chessboard, involuntarily ups and downs. But how many people understand that in fact, the overall situation has long been determined? - His Majesty the emperor is sick and sleeps in Penglai day and night, but everything in his sleeve is in control; Qin Mubai's house is still, but the fate of heaven has already been secretly determined.

"In the final analysis, all these events are a game between the two of them; in the end, it was the two of them who dominated the direction and outcome of the situation!" Li Chunfeng shook his head and sighed, "It turns out that the real master's tricks are without swords, swords and shadows, or even tricks... We are stupid and stubborn, and we can only be at the mercy of it! ...Today I realized what kind of person really deserves the word 'Xingxiong'!!"

Soon after, a fire broke out in the woods. The green forest masters in the Taoist temple were all awakened. They were about to fight the fire, but they were all weak and dizzy. Don't say it's a fight. It's not easy to stand firm.

At this time, countless officers and soldiers came from all directions. Rush into the Taoist temple and kill people without saying a word!

Li Ke, the king of Wu, was naturally awakened. When he woke up, he found that he had been tied up and thrown into **, and his mouth was also stuffed with cotton cloth to make no sound. There was a fire in the Taoist temple and screamed!

If you want to struggle, the rope is extremely tight, and your limbs are sore and weak! He couldn't help but be shocked - "Am I limited? - Zhao Chong!!"

Just then, the door was kicked open, and then he heard a shout: "I found it! Found it! His Royal Highness King Wu is here!"

Immediately, a group of hundred cavalry elite soldiers rushed in, and the leader was the hundred cavalry order - Li Junxian!

"I'm late to save you. Your Highness the King of Wu, please forgive me!" After Li Junxian saw the ceremony, he hurriedly untied Li Ke in person.

"What...what's going on?" Li Ke just asked this question, and a man rushed in at the door and screamed from afar--

"Third brother? Where's my third brother?!"

Li Ke was stunned, "King of Jin?"

Li Zhi has run to him, with a confused and surprised expression, grabbing Li Ke's arms, "Third brother, third brother! You're really fine! That's great! - Whoo-hoo!!"

Li Zhi actually cried happily.

Li Ke was a little stunned for a moment and secretly said: What's going on? I was obviously waiting for the news with Zhao Chong, but unexpectedly, the King of Jin and Li Junxian came to "save" me? In fact, I have been under house arrest at most, and Zhao Chong is not sorry for me, or my savior - why did the two of them fight?

At this moment, Li Chunfeng walked up, smiled indifferently at Li Ke, and then arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, the King of Jin received a secret report that His Royal Highness was robbed by a thief and hidden in the Taoist temple here in Zhongnan Mountain. Therefore, the king of Jin used a fake way to destroy the dragonfly. When he traveled through Zhongnan Mountain in Beijing, he took advantage of the night to kill the Taoist temple and saved His Royal Highness the King of Wu!"

Li Ke suddenly realized!!!

"I see, I see..." He took a deep breath and kept sighing in his heart, "Everything is a game! It's a fierce situation! It's an extremely fierce and bitter situation! ......”

So, Li Ke knelt down to Li Zhi in front of everyone, "Thank you for saving the help of the King of Jin!" This kindness is like a re-creation, I will never forget it, and I will repay you to the death!!"

Li Zhi suddenly panicked, and his knees softened and knelt down to Li Ke. "What's wrong with the third brother? How can there be a reason for a brother to kneel down to a younger brother? Isn't it a bad brother? Please get up quickly!!"

Everyone also persuaded each other, and the two princes got up together.

Li Ke held Li Zhi's hand with a smile and said, "Ninth brother, from now on, Brother Yu will be in the same boat with you! Everyone present can testify!"

Li Chunfeng looked at all this quietly, with a gratified and helpless smile on his face, and said secretly: Let's live and die together in the same boat! ... The king of Wu is wise and clever, and the king of Jin is dull and dull, which can be seen from this! From then on, the fact that the King of Jin had a great kindness to the King of Wu will be spread all over the world. On the other hand, the crown prince of Wu ascended the throne, and the king of Jin could save his life!

Your Majesty, what a good heart!

It's just a pity that more than a dozen ghosts in this Taoist temple should have saved the meritorious souls!

......

In a mountain pass in the distance, Zhao Chong stared at the fire rising to the sky in the night sky. His teeth clenched his face tightly, and his eyes reflected the firelight in the distance, shining like a fluorescence.

He knelt on his knees, and Zhao Chong kowtowed eighteen times on the ground.

"Brothers! It's not that Zhao is greedy and afraid of death to enjoy his wealth! It's just that the game in front of us is too dangerous. There will always be some people who cross the river and sacrifice their lives! Otherwise... tens of millions of people may die, and the world will be in chaos from now on!"

"Brothers, listen to your grievances! Poison is from Zhao; fire is also like Zhao's release! - If there is an afterlife, Zhao is willing to die with thousands of knives, and there will be no complaints!"
