Chapter 208 Undercurrents surging(1/2)

Qin Lang finally understood what the crisis of the six kings of different surnames was. If Bian Beiliu rebelled, everyone would be in danger, and it might cause a chain reaction of rebellion. Dayong's newly stable political arena would be in a turmoil again, but why did Sang Jingtian choose himself? Because of trust? This excuse seems a bit far-fetched. I am afraid that even Sang Jingtian cannot convince himself, and their father-son relationship is superficial.

Qin Lang took the opportunity to ask Jiang Konghou about Prince Qing, but Sang Jingtian's promised to never break his promise. Jiang Konghou agreed to turn around and urged Sang Jingtian, but she did not intend to waste the short time of the couple, and left after saying that.

Qin Lang and Long Xixi were inevitably flirted with each other, and they had enough food and drink. Long Xixi specially served him to take a shower and personally sent him to the north gate.

Fifty selected Xiyu Guards arrived on time, Gu Xiefei and Wang Houting were among them. They were not like Chen Hutu, and they have been officially appointed as deputy commanders of Xiyu Guards and the fifth-ranked sword-bearing guards in the imperial court. Qin Lang originally wanted to help them ask for a job, but neither of them said they didn't need it, mainly because they were both used to being lazy and not used to being restrained.

Long Xixi held Qin Lang's hand and said softly: "Come back early."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have to take care of yourself when I'm not here. Also, if you encounter trouble, please ask Mr. Lu first."

Long Xixi blinked her beautiful eyes. Qin Lang did not ask her to go to Sang Jingtian and his wife first, but asked her to ask Lu Buyao for advice first, proving that in Qin Lang's heart, Lu Buyao is more trustworthy than his godfather and godmother.

Long Xixi said: "Remember, you can't get along with me when you go out this time."

Qin Lang couldn't help laughing: "You open your eyes and see, it's all men, I'm hooking up with a ghost!"

Long Xixi spat and said, "Ghosts are not allowed to hook up, otherwise I will not spare you."

Qin Lang nodded repeatedly, for some reason, still feeling uneasy when he went out this time, holding Long Xixi's hand and said, "If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can go to Baiyu Palace."

"I won't go to find her." Long Xixi was a little unhappy when he heard him mention Bai Yu Palace.

Gu Xiefei couldn't help but urge, "Master Qin, I think you'd better stay, we'll just go."

Long Xixi glared at him fiercely: "Lao Gu, you hate the most." After saying that, he couldn't help laughing: "I'm back, and the journey is smooth."

Qin Lang turned over and waved his hand to Long Xixi. Long Xixi gave him a blowing kiss, which he learned from Qin Lang.

Qin Lang reached out and grabbed it, kissed it on his lips, and urged the horse to come to Chen Hutu. Chen Hutu said, "I think Lao Gu's suggestions are good, you should stay."

Qin Lang laughed: "Brothers, set off!"

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the group arrived at Yacheng, which was two hundred miles away from Yongdu. Chen Hutu suggested that everyone enter Yacheng for rest and look for clues in the city.

This time, he was hunted down by orders, and the treatment was naturally extraordinary. When the local officials of Yacheng learned that they were coming, they hurriedly provided them with the highest standard reception. Although Chen Hutu was good at drinking, he strictly prohibited alcohol during the execution of the task. After all, he was from a corps. Gu Xiefei complained so much and found Chen Hutu, and Chen Hutu was not an old-fashioned person, so he agreed to let him go.

After inquiring about Yacheng, I found that a team of people had arrived at Yacheng before them, but it was a search team sent by the Ministry of Justice. It had been two hours since they left Yacheng.

Qin Lang heard that the Ministry of Justice was already ahead of them, so he was ready to seize the time to leave Yacheng. Chen Hutu told him not to worry. They had been on the road for a night and had to hurry for two hours before they could continue to rush. The northward direction, the colder the climate. Most of these brothers of Xiyu Guards had experienced wars in the Northern Wilderness, but their mounts were different, so they had to give the mount a process of gradually adapting to the low temperature.

Gu Xiefei said: "Wouldn't we look for needles in a haystack when we search like this? If I were Bian Qianxun, I would find a place to hide and wait for the wind to pass before running away."

Wang Houting nodded, thinking that what he said made sense.

Chen Hutu said: "We don't need to look for Bian Qianxun at all, we just need to follow the search team of the Ministry of Justice."

Gu Xiefei said: "How do you know that the people from the Ministry of Justice can find him?"

Chen Hutu said: "As far as I know, the Ministry of Justice sent Xie Liuyun. This person used to be the treasurer of the Demon Suppression Department, but in fact he was the top tracking expert in the Demon Suppression Department."

Qin Lang and Xie Liuyun have had many contacts and knew that Xie Liuyun is not simple. What Chen Hutu said is indeed the best strategy at present. Sang Jingtian did not want Bian Qianxun to be found first by the Ministry of Justice. It seems that they can only perform the scene of mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind.

Wang Houting said: "Will Bian Qianxun's incident spread to Bian Beiliu?"

Chen Hutu said: "It will definitely be, and Bian Beiliu will send experts to pick him up. It will take about five days and five nights to get to the border of Kitano from here. In other words, we must capture Bian Qianxun before he escapes into Kitano. If he escapes into Kitano, then we will change from active to passive."

Gu Xiefei yawned and said, "Sleep, wake up and chase after you!"

The tracking team sent by the Ministry of Justice was led by Xie Liuyun, with a total of 300 people. For this pursuit, they were all good players. Most of them were teams of the Demon Suppression Department. Chen Hutu knew that the situation was not comprehensive. Although Xie Liuyun was responsible for the pursuit of the Ministry of Justice, Luo Dongcheng was also in it.

Chen Qiongnian did not dare to be careless. Empress Dowager Xiao Rong was furious after learning about the case. She gave Chen Qiongnian the death order and must intercept him before Bian Qianxun arrived in Kitano.

Xie Liuyun set off at noon yesterday, rested through Yacheng for one night, and continued to set off early this morning.

Luodongcheng and Xie Liuyun walked together, looked up at the sky on the first day of the first lunar month. Clouds were piled up in the sky. When the morning light passed through the clouds, it seemed to be broken by the clouds, turning into particle-like light dust. The clouds also produced a heavy sense of volume in the collision with the light.

Luodongcheng suddenly had a strange idea. The clouds above his head seemed to have turned into floating hills, and he felt that he might fall down at any time. He covered his mouth and coughed hard.

Xie Liuyun said: "If you are afraid of the cold, don't participate in this chore."

Luo Dongcheng took out a craftsmanship tin wine pot from his arms, unscrewed his trembling hands, sniffed a few mouthfuls into the spout, and narrowed his eyes and said, "Recently Yongdu has had too many criminal cases. Lord Siming is in a delicate situation. As subordinates, we should share his worries for him... cough cough cough... share his worries..." His pale face turned red because of the violent cough. Although Chen Qiongnian is now the Minister of Justice, they still habitually call him Lord Siming.

Xie Liuyun said: "Are you familiar with this person Bian Qianxun?"

Luo Dongcheng shook his head, subconsciously raised his head again, looked at the heavy clouds in the sky, and saw a gray and silver light flying down through the clouds. It was an iron-backed falcon.

Xie Liuyun said, "He can't escape." He stretched out his left arm, and the iron-backed Cangxiao flapped his wings and landed on his forearm. The iron-backed Cangxiao wings were only three feet wide, and his body was not big, with golden light flashing in his eyes. Xie Liuyun stared at Cangxiao's eyes and quickly established communication with it.

Luo Dongcheng whispered: "Has found it?"

Xie Liuyun shook his head and said, "Someone is following us."

"who?"

"Qin Lang's Xiyu Guard."

Luo Dongcheng couldn't help laughing: "Xiyuwei? They don't stay in Yongdu for the New Year, why are they coming out to join in the fun?"

Xie Liuyun said: "It must not be the intention of Lord Siming. Qin Lang is the adopted son of the Prime Minister."

“How far is it from us?”

"More than one hundred miles, two hours' journey."

Luo Dongcheng said: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind!"

Xie Liuyun smiled and said, "It is not certain that he knows who is the oriole."

The two of them laughed at the same time, and Luo Dongcheng said, "The tiger disciple may have come too."

Xie Liuyun's expression seemed helpless: "He is a trouble." He said it was trouble, but he didn't feel much trouble in his heart. Anyway, they came to pursue the same target, and they were not greedy for me, and they just wanted to try not to take responsibility. Now that Qin Lang's Xiyuwei, if Bian Qianxun escapes, at least someone can help share the burden.

With the help of Sang Jingtian, Long Xixi finally met his father. Long Shixing had already been slandered and wore a gray monk's robe. The man had obviously lost weight. Seeing his daughter appearing in front of him, Long Shixing put his hands together and said, "Amitabha!"

Long Xixi said: "Dad, there are no one else here, so you don't have to be afraid."

Long Shixing sighed and said, "I am empty-handed."

Long Xixi said: "Empty law is empty law, I think you might as well call it empty, empty and nothing!"

Long Shixing looked at his daughter, and his eyes showed a kind look: "Xixi, how are you doing after marriage? Why didn't Qin Lang come with you?"

"Very good, he treats me very well, but he was sent to the business yesterday." Long Xixi briefly said about Qin Lang's affairs.

Long Shixing nodded repeatedly, as long as his daughter lives well, he will feel relieved.

Long Xixi whispered: "Dad, Sang Jingtian has promised Qin Lang that he will help you restore your royal identity."

Long Shixing shook his head and said, "Don't, I'm fine now. In the past, I was drunk and dreaming every day. I only realized that I can feel at ease here. This is my fate."

"Dad, are you willing to be framed and bullied by them? Are you a descendant of the Long family? The world of Dayong should be..."

Long Shixing was so scared that his face looked like a slut, and he hurriedly stopped his daughter and continued: "Stop talking, do you want to live a life?"

Long Xixi said: "Do you think hiding here can keep you healthy for life? Impossible, that woman cannot let you go."

Long Shixing said: "Remember, don't worry about me. You can't even mention it when restoring my identity. Otherwise, it will not only cause me a disaster, but also cause you trouble. Xixi, as long as you are safe, I am satisfied with chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha here."

When Long Xixi saw his father like this, he sighed in his heart. In the past, he had no ambitions, and now he is even more discouraged. Could this be his fate?

"Dad, Sang Jingtian is now Prime Minister of Dayong, and he has this ability."

Long Shixing said: "I don't believe him. When did you encounter so many twists and turns in your marriage with Qin Lang? When did you see him stand up and say something to you? This person is very scheming. Now it seems that he and the Queen Mother have the same position. Think about it, the Queen Mother wishes that I can't kill me. It was her doing the destruction of my throne. Will she change her original intention?"

Long Xixi pursed her lips, and her father saw this very clearly.

Long Shixing said: "If you don't have any important things in the future, don't come to see me. That woman will never kill me. I'm worried that she will do something more."

Although Long Xixi knew that her father's worries were not redundant, she still didn't like her father's timid personality. Qin Lang was what a man should look like in her heart.

Sang Jingtian came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor early. According to the custom, at dawn every day, all officials would come to the Tianhe Palace Square in the palace to pay homage. The New Year's greetings began at the time of the Chen Dynasty, and the officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision announced that the auspicious time had arrived. Then the bells and drums were ringing and music was played. The emperor sat upright on the Golden Throne of the Tianhe Palace and accepted the worship of all officials.

This process usually lasts for two hours, which means that the entire process is completed and a whole morning passes.

However, this year the young emperor fell ill and the empress dowager took the worship on his behalf. The process was shortened and it was all over in less than an hour.

Sang Jingtian was kept after worshipping. He was led by the eunuch to the Jade Buddha Garden. After waiting for a while, he saw Xiao Zirong coming over after changing clothes. He was over thirty years old and his beauty was still there.

Sang Jingtian saluted respectfully.

Xiao Zirong first incense on the Jade Buddha and whispered: "Originally, the Ai family wanted to go to Dabaoen Temple, but after thinking about it, let's forget it. The emperor's dragon body was not safe, and the Ai family was also uneasy in the past."

Sang Jingtian looked at Bai Huixin in front of him and felt a sense of alienation from the bottom of his heart. I remember that last time Bai Huixin showed his true identity to him. Sang Jingtian was moved by her infatuation, but as time went by, he found that the Bai Huixin in front of him was no longer the past, but just a red pink skeleton covered with armor. Has her original intention not changed?

Xiao Zirong put his hands together in front of the Jade Buddha, praying silently. After a while, he said: "Long Xixi went to Dabaoen Temple today."

Sang Jingtian nodded and said, "I promised Qin Lang that if he led the Xiyu Guard to solve that problem, he would help Long Shixing restore his royal identity. Today's meeting was also arranged by me."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Sang Jingtian from the corner of his eyes. Sang Jingtian bent and stood behind her. She still remembered the scene when Sang Jingtian left her cruelly. How humble she was at that time, but she would never forget his resolute and heartless back. Sang Jingtian in front of her seemed to have become a little unreal.

"Since you promised him, then go and do it."

Sang Jingtian Dao: "Is it really going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Xiao Zirong slowly turned around, staring at Sang Jingtian's deep eyes: "Your real purpose of sending Qin Lang to pursue Bian Qianxun is to support him so that it is convenient to attack Long Shixing?"

Sang Jingtian Dao: "There are still a large number of forces in the court who are ready to move. If this matter is not handled in time, it will inevitably lead to a huge counterattack."

Xiao Zirong frowned slightly and said, "You are the people led by Lu Buyao."

Sang Jingtian Dao: "I think it's time to break it, and it's time to break it! As long as the Long Shixing family lives in this world for one day, they will not be able to break their thoughts."

Xiao Zirong said: "Is there a complete solution?"
