Chapter 264: Warning

Several eunuchs were taken to the main cabin. The white-faced eunuch led the head and raised his chest, glanced at Li Qing and said, "I'm dismounting Yingjun. I'm on the order of the emperor to find the Minister of the Secretariat." He glanced at the personal soldiers on both sides of the sanitation. Seeing that Li Qing had no movement, he reminded him again: "Shi Dao, I'm from Xingqing Palace."

Li Qing smiled slightly and waved to everyone, "A few people go down, there are too many people, and it scares my father-in-law."

At this time, the person next to him brought a plate of gold and silver. Ma Yingjun glanced at him and immediately changed his smile. He took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Li Qing respectfully and said, "This is the emperor's emergency order to the minister."

Li Qing took it, but did not open it immediately to check it out. He just gently put it aside, and asked with a smile: "Is there something going on in Beijing these two days?"

Ma Yingjun said in surprise: "Wang Zhongsi was arrested yesterday, which caused a sensation in the capital. Don't you know?"

Li Qing's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit, "The charge was for the East Palace, and the plot was inappropriate!"

Ma Yingjun nodded and smiled, "That's right, the minister knows a little, the news is so fast!"

‘I know?’ Li Qing sneered slightly. Of course he knew that Li Longji had to take action three years ago, but he endured it until now. It seemed that Li Heng had not learned his lesson and was once again caught.

Ma Yingjun sighed, "The prince was too careless and actually met Wang Zhongsi in private. He was caught by Yang Zhongcheng. He immediately wrote a letter to impeach him. The emperor was extremely angry. He imprisoned Wang Zhongsi that day and ordered the Grand Third Department to be tried. It is said that the crime was to be punished by the East Palace, which is a death sentence!"

Li Qing was speechless. Wang Zhongsi became a victim of the palace struggle. The price was too high. It seemed that Li Heng could not escape this disaster. Li Qing sighed secretly. He didn't want to care anymore. Even if he wanted to care, he could do nothing. Zhang Qiu Jianqiong made him feel at ease. He smiled faintly and asked without saying a word: "Will Zhao Fengzhang's impeachment of Prime Minister Li have a result?"

"The emperor sent the censor Song Hun to investigate the case, but Song Hun was Li Linfu's confidant. If he asked him to investigate, wasn't this just a scam with the tiger?"

Speaking of this, Ma Yingjun suddenly felt that he was speechless, and hurriedly laughed dryly, bowed and said, "There is still something in the palace, I have to rush back."

Li Qing winked at Li Fei Shouyu and smiled and said, "In this way, I won't keep my father-in-law. Shouyu, let me see you off for me!"

Li Fei Shouyu stepped forward and led Ma Yingjun out. When he went out, he faintly heard his voice, "This is the little intention of my governor. Please accept it with a smile. Please give me a few good words to my governor in front of the emperor."

Li Qing frowned, but the matter was indeed not as expected. Li Longji asked Song Hun to investigate, and I am afraid that Li Linfu would make a fuss. If Zhao Fengzhang left, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong would be in danger.

Li Qing had no time to read the secret decree, so he immediately compiled a letter, summoned a confidant, handed the letter to him together with his famous post and instructed him: "If you return to Chang'an by land, you must hand the letter to Zhang Qiu Xiangguo with your own hands, remember, give it to him with your own hands!"

The confidant put away the letter and turned around and left. It was not until the sound of his footsteps disappeared that Li Qing's heart calmed down. He took Li Longji's secret order, read it briefly, and his face gradually became serious. The letter ordered him to strictly investigate the case of the burning of Suzhou Cabinet. No matter who was involved, he would be severely punished. The implication was that Suzhou Cabinet was not Li Longji's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but someone really set it on fire.

After a moment, Li Fei Shouyu came in and reported, "Governor, they are gone."

"Order the ship's anchor immediately!"

Li Qing stood up and raised the handwriting in his hand, sneered, "Our business is here."

The big ship squeaked away from the embassy, ​​advanced in the wind, and gradually drove into the Yellow River, sinking into the heavy night.

The big ship was walking along the river and was safe and sound. At dusk, it arrived at the boundary of Bianzhou. Here we would change a smaller boat to go to Bian River to Yangzhou. Bianzhou is also a transit station for the canal transportation. There were huge granaries one by one, and there were dense ships on the river surface, and the docks were filled with merchants and people who were going south to do business.

The official boat slowly landed, and the yamen runners on the shore drove away the people. The local county magistrate had already rushed to the dock to welcome the servants of the Ministry of Revenue. The small and crowded dock suddenly became spacious. Of course, there were countless people behind the dock jumping and cursing.

"Students come to Bian County Ma Zihu to meet with the envoy."

As soon as Li Fei Shouyu jumped off the board, a middle-aged man with a thin face squeezed over and bowed to him, "The adults are working hard all the way, and the students have prepared a few glasses of wine to wash the envoy. And now it's getting late, so the envoy might as well rest in the small county for one night tonight."

Seeing that he was so scared and treacherous, Li Feishouyu called himself a student at such an age, he held back his smile and said, "I am not Mr. Li. My adults sent me to ask if I have to change a boat to move forward?"

County Ma then looked up and saw Li Fei Shouyu clearly, and said with a blushing face: "This is just the rule set by Pei Xiangguo when he was a transshipment commander. He was mainly afraid that large ships would affect shipping. In fact, the waterway was wide, so it would be okay not to change the ship."

"The minister said that his ears were scolded so hot that we kept stopping the boat. Let the people come and take the boat!"

After saying that, Li Feishouyu didn't care about Ma's face, and he jumped onto the board and ran to the boat.

At this time, a large number of people rushed to the dock again, and several passenger ships were docked and began to pick up passengers. Just as the official ship was about to leave the dock, suddenly, Li Feishouyu saw a silver light coming from the bank and heading straight for Li Qing's cabin. With a "punch", the silver light broke through the window paper and snatched the window. Li Feishouyu was shocked. He had already seen clearly that the silver light was actually a flying knife. Before he could think about it, he rushed into the cabin in three steps, but he saw Li Qing holding a piece of paper that was poked in his hand, and the flying knife was placed on the table beside him.

It was the flying knife that reported the news. Li Fei Shouyu breathed a light tone and asked hurriedly: "Governor, was this sent by the people of Wu Xingsu?"

Li Qing shook his head and handed the letter to Li Fei Shouyu and said, "There is no secret seal on it. It should not be the one from Wu Xingsu. Besides, he will only be able to pick us up in Yangzhou. I don't know who it is? But the news is surprising."

Li Fei Shouyu hurriedly took the letter and opened it and browsed it quickly. There were only two sentences in the letter. Someone would attack them in the Bianzhou area. There were many people, so they must be careful. The words on the letter were written crookedly. Obviously, the person who reported Li Qing did not want Li Qing to recognize his handwriting, but it didn't matter who reported the letter now. Li Fei Shouyu's brows frowned into a 'one' shape. When he was on a business trip, someone wanted to assassinate him. He relaxed his nerves and immediately tensed up.

"Or let's go by land! Let the army guard the front, back and left and right."

Li Qing stretched his waist and smiled faintly, "Since leaving the Western Regions, life has become dull. It is rare that someone is practicing for us now, why not? Notify brothers, prepare the guys, no one is allowed to sleep at night."

The second update of the night was over, and the official ship was moving forward quietly in the wide channel. It was early spring, and the southeast wind was blowing on the river surface. The boat was walking against the wind and walked very slowly. The grain ships on the river surface were almost gone, and large-scale fleets were not seen. Only one or two passenger ships were parked and resting on the shore, and there were also fishing fires flashing in the night. The dark hills on the shore were like a black barrier, stretching endlessly into the distance.

Li Fei Shouyu was fully armed, with an iron helmet and an iron armor. The black helmet on his head reflected the clear light under the desolate moonlight. He was carrying three pots of wolf-toothed arrows on his back, and a huge sky-shaking bow in his hand. His sharp eyes glanced at the slightest movement of the river and the shore.

"Governor, could it be the Jiang bandits in this area?" The warning letter said that a large number of people would come to attack. Li Fei Shouyu, who was born in the horse bandit, immediately thought of the Jiang bandits. It is no wonder that both sides of the area are hilly, and the troops escorted by land cannot accompany them along the coast, which creates an opportunity for the bandits to attack.

Li Qing was playing with the flying knife in his hand. The flying knife was well-crafted. The handle was pure silver and inlaid with gold edges. The blade was made of iron. The blade was extremely sharp and valuable. It was obviously a sword with her. It seemed that the informant suddenly discovered the situation and was not ready. He was willing to offer such a good sword, which means that the person who cared about him was secretly protecting him. As for who this person would be, Li Qing couldn't guess for a moment.

He smiled coldly and said, "Before you arrived in Suzhou, someone wanted to kill me. It seems that this trip to Suzhou will have great rewards. Whether it is the Jiang bandit or the assassin, let's kill one, two, and two, let's take a look. I, Li Qing, are not a clay sculpture Bodhisattva."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fei Shouyu suddenly found that three thick iron chains were rising in the air twenty feet in front, locking the river surface. Dozens of small boats gushed out two hundred steps downstream, shooting at the big ship like arrows.

"They are here!" After the sound of the arrow, three powerful arrows broke through the air. The figures on the three small boats in the lead swayed, "Puzzle!" fell into the water. Then the arrows shot out like pearls, as fast as lightning. The people on the boats behind had no time to move, and they were all caught in the arrows and fell into the river.

Li Qing stared for a moment and suddenly said, "They really want to attack with fire. The ship of life immediately turned around and threw down the blocking object!"

At this time, fire groups were lit one after another on the boat, and the people on the boat dived one after another. Following the wind, the fire groups quickly rose, crossed the iron chain and rushed straight towards the big ship. At this time, the big ship had turned around and returned to sail with the southeast wind. The trees prepared in advance were thrown into the river together with the crown and branches and leaves, and instantly connected in the river, blocking the fire ship.
