Chapter 225: Can't shirk
Li Yifeng greeted Sang Jingtian's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart. Sang Jingtian was too cruel. If he didn't go, he would try his best to get his son Li Yuting over.
Chen Qiongnian and He Dangzhong held a high attitude of not having to do anything, and it didn't matter to them.
Xiao Zixuan said: "What do you think of Lord Li?"
Li Yifeng was already in power, and now he had no choice but to agree. He bowed and said, "I would like to go to Kitano with my sick and weak body, even if I am broken into pieces!"
Xiao Zirong said: "Li Aiqing is really a loyal and righteous man. The old emperor did not misunderstand you."
Li Yifeng said: "But I have a request."
Sang Jingtian cursed in his heart. Li Yifeng seemed to dare not submit easily, but he didn't know what tricks he was going to play?
Li Yifeng said: "I want to ask the commander of Xiyu Guard Qin Lang to accompany me to Kitano to be responsible for the safety along the way."
Sang Jingtian understood the intention of this guy as soon as he heard it. The reason why Li Yifeng made such a request was because Qin Lang was his adopted son. In Li Yifeng's view, asking him to go on a mission to Kitano would be equivalent to pushing him into the land of tigers and wolves with his own hands. There was a lot of danger in this trip, so Li Yifeng simply pulled Qin Lang to take charge of his back. First, Qin Lang did have extraordinary strength, and second, he also used this method to retaliate against him.
Sang Jingtian laughed in his heart, Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng, I asked Qin Lang to guard the imperial tomb to temporarily exclude him from Yongdu. It is my wish for you to do this. Sang Jingtian said: "Mr. Li will naturally arrange the escorts when he goes on an envoy to Kitano. However, Qin Lang was just sent to the imperial tomb to be responsible for protecting the tomb, so it is difficult to change the orders every day."
Li Yifeng said: "Empress Dowager, I have another request. I want to send the emperor to the last journey..." Before he finished speaking, tears fell like rain.
When the few people saw him, they admired this guy's acting skills, but then they thought that the tears might be true, after all, it is too bad to go to Kitano.
Sang Jingtian Dao: "The matter of Kitano cannot be delayed. I think Lord Li should prepare as soon as possible and he will set out tomorrow at the latest."
Li Yifeng cursed in his heart, Sang Jingtian, you old man, want me to die.
Sang Jingtian said again: "Let's do this, Chen Hu, the deputy commander of Xiyu Guard, is both wise and brave. He will lead Xiyu Guard to escort you into the Kitano." He shot Chen Qiongnian with a false shot.
Chen Qiongnian was actually a little scared when Li Yifeng asked Qin Lang to escort him. The fire at the city gate affected Chiyu, for fear of dragging his son in. However, if Qin Lang led the Xiyuwei to go there, it is likely that his son would not be able to escape. He hoped that Sang Jingtian could reject Li Yifeng's request in person, but unexpectedly, Sang Jingtian actually pushed his son out. This old man is not kind.
This matter has nothing to do with He Dangzhong. He didn't say anything but just watched the show. The emperor died and Chen Qiunian's status was also affected. However, Sang Jingtian did this and it was indeed a bit of a slaughter. Everything depends on what the Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong said.
Chen Qiongnian said: "The son has been guarding the border in the northern border for many years, and now he is guarding the imperial tomb. It is rare for Lord Sang to think of him. If you have such a good opportunity, you will think of him first." He looked at Sang Jingtian coldly, wishing he could rush up and punch him.
Empress Dowager Xiao said: "You don't need to say anything. Ai's family will return. Lord Li, you can go back immediately and prepare. You can't delay the mission. You will set off tomorrow at the latest."
"yes!"
"Since you have proposed to protect Xiyuwei along the way, let Qin Lang go to protect the tomb, which means punishing and tempering him. As a minister of Da Yong, he should share his worries for Da Yong. The Ai family will send him and Xiyuwei to escort you to Kitano, so that you can be satisfied."
"Thank you, the Empress Dowager, is a wise and kind person, and it is a blessing for the country."
Xiao Zixuan said again: "In the face of national crisis, every man is responsible, and it is naturally difficult to give up his family affection, but Da Yong's burden cannot be pressed on you forever. You will grow old one day. It may be a good thing to let the younger generation get more tempered, Lord Chen, do you think so?"
Chen Qiongnian said, "The Empress Dowager is wise." He knew in his heart that his son had to go this time.
Xiao Zirong sighed and said, "The Ai family should think carefully about how to deal with Beiliu there tonight. Let's retreat first."
Everyone came outside, and Li Yifeng, who had never had a temper, walked away without even saying a word of farewell. He was about to die and still cared about this.
He Dangzhong bowed to Chen Qiongnian and Sang Jingtian and walked to the other side.
Sang Jingtian smiled at Chen Qiongnian and said, "Mr. Chen won't blame me for sponsoring the son-in-law, right?"
Chen Qiongnian said: "How could it be? I can't thank you too much."
Sang Jingtian said: "Don't blame Mr. Chen. Actually, I have selfish thoughts. The emperor's murder made the empress dowager feel aggrieved against Qin Lang. Li Yifeng made such a request just in line with the empress dowager's wishes. Qin Lang and the son are brothers and sisters. The two complement each other and achieve each other. If Qin Lang goes to Kitano alone, I am worried that he is young and aggressive, and with the son's composure, he will definitely help them return safely with the son's calmness and experience."
Chen Qiongnian thought to himself that you should not say so high-soundingly. He said so much just to show your preference for Qin Lang. What do you think of this godson? Everyone knows clearly in their hearts that if you want to harm Qin Lang, why do you still push my son in to take care of him? Fundamentally, it is because of your own reasons that Sang Jingtian has always regarded himself as an opponent.
Chen Qiongnian said: "Today I will escort Mr. Lu to the imperial tomb. If I can see Qin Lang and the others, I'd better tell them about it."
Sang Jingtian nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Chen."
Lu Buyao had nothing to do with it, but asked Lu An to put on his favorite book and go to Tongming Palace to guard the emperor for his spiritual salvation. Xiao Zirong's methods of dealing with him were really endless. The coldest winter had passed, and the ice and snow were about to melt soon, but Lu Buyao felt that spring was getting farther and farther away.
Chen Qiongnian came to Babu Academy in person to convey Xiao Zirong's meaning, but Lu Buyao showed no resistance.
Lu An prepared the carriage, and Chen Qiongnian escorted Lu Bu out of the Eight Academies. He saw a man riding a horse and coming to this side. It was Qin Lang. Qin Lang and Xiyuwei were originally on the way to the Empress Door, but they were called back as soon as they left the West Gate. They said that there were other urgent tasks to let them go home to clean up. Together tomorrow morning, outside the Li Mansion Gate, escorting Li Yifeng to Kitano.
Qin Lang and Chen Hutu parted ways in the city. Chen Hutu went to Jixiang Lane to clean up. Most of Qin Lang's things were left in Jinyuan, so he went back to Jinyuan first.
I didn't expect to meet Chen Qiunian and the others here.
Qin Lang turned over and dismounted: "Mr. Lu, where are you going?"
Lu Buyao smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has an order to ask me to go to Tongming Hall of the Imperial Mausoleum to guard the emperor's spirit and salvation."
Qin Lang was stunned. Isn’t it a monk’s business? How did it be arranged for Lu Buyao? I didn’t have to think that it was a conspiracy that Xiao Zirong had created again. Qin Lang said: “Lu Xiang should take care of him.”
Lu Buyao said: "In fact, it is a good thing to keep a soul for the emperor. I stayed in these eight academies, and people were watching me when I went in and out, and there was no difference between being in jail. The reason why I opened a small door on your wall in the past was to occasionally come out for some breathing. The imperial tomb was empty and quiet, so there shouldn't be so many people paying attention to me, and I was happy to be at ease."
Chen Qiongnian said: "Don't worry, my teacher, I will arrange personnel to be responsible for your safety."
Lu Bu laughed and said, "I just said I was free and comfortable. Are you going to stare at me now?" He waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. The emperor's affairs are bigger than the sky, and you don't have to send them to me."
Qin Lang helped Lu Buyao get on the car, and Lu Buyao said, "The matter you entrusted me has been arranged to the academy. You can start construction at any time when you thaw this spring."
Qin Lang pursed his lips and said, "Precaution Lu, I will go to Kitano tomorrow. When I come back from Kitano, I will go to the imperial tomb to see you."
Lu Buyao said: "Kei Ye's trip is very dangerous. Take care of it yourself. I still understand the person Bian Beiliu, I am a little arrogant and ambitious, but this person is very filial. He lost his father since he was a child and raised by his old mother, Mrs. Liu. Speaking of which, Mrs. Liu still owes me a favor." Lu Buyao asked Lu An to prepare paper and pen, and wrote a letter to Qin Lang, asking Qin Lang to carry it with him. If he went to Kitano to meet Mrs. Liu, he could give him this letter. If the old woman was thinking about the favors of the past, she should give Qin Lang some help. Regardless of whether the mission was successful or not, she hoped to escape unscathed.
Qin Lang watched the carriage go away.
Chen Qiongnian stood side by side with him and whispered: "My teacher rarely cares about others like this, he admires you very much."
Qin Lang said: "Lu Gong Gaoyi, Qin Lang will never repay his favor in this life."
Chen Qiongnian said: "The tiger disciple goes to Kitano with you this time."
Qin Lang glanced at him and understood what he meant: "Don't worry, Lord Chen, I will make sure that Brother Hupa is fine."
Chen Qiongnian said, "The same is true for you. In my heart, you are all my juniors. I don't want something to happen to you."
Qin Lang said respectfully: "In my heart, I also regard Lord Chen as my elder."
Chen Qiongnian was actually a little moved by his words and sighed, "Think about it now, when your godmother ran to my mansion to cause trouble, it would be better to fulfill you." Qin Lang had no other problems except for short life. Not to mention that his daughter liked him, he even liked him more and more. Moreover, it seems that this kid is not a short life. It is too late to think about this now, after all, his daughter's fate is already destined.
Qin Lang said: "A few days ago, I went to the palace to paint for the emperor, and I could see Wei Yu almost every day."
Chen Qiongnian was shocked, what did this kid say?
Qin Lang said: "Weiyu makes you not have to worry about her affairs."
Chen Qiongnian said: "How is she?"
Qin Lang said: "Fortunately, she asked me to take care of you and respect you for her."
Chen Qiongnian fully understood when he heard this. This was completely a son-in-law talking to him. The two children did not know what they did in the palace. As a father, he should not think about his daughter in this way, but Qin Lang's hint was too obvious.
