Volume 5: The Case of the Five Kings Fighting the Dragon Chapter 131: It's a Mess
"Kang Shaolong!" Li Daaxu immediately looked at Kang Shaolong angrily, clenching the ax in his hand, ready to attack Kang Shaolong at any time.
At the same time, Kang Shaolong did not show any weakness and tightened his grip on the Fang Tianji in his hand, his eyes full of provocation.
"Hey, isn't this the famous General Kang?" At this moment, a voice came from behind Li Daxu, and then Duan Ming was seen walking out slowly.
"Who are you?" Kang Shaolong narrowed his eyes slightly. He had never seen the person in front of him before.
"Haha, I'm so talented. Your Majesty has personally named you the 'No. 6 Lame Man in the World'. I've met General Kang." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"What six?" Kang Shaolong frowned, raised the Fang Tianji in his hand and pointed it at Duan Ming: "What do you want to do?"
"It's okay. I've just heard that General Kang is unparalleled in his power and is extremely skilled in the use of the Square Heavenly Halberd, so I came out here to meet him." Duan Ming said with a smile, "Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting him. General Kang is really great."
"Are you the one who rejects the Northern King?" Kang Shaolong said solemnly.
"No, no, no, I am not someone who rejects the Northern King." Duan Ming waved his hands repeatedly, then his face suddenly darkened and he said, "I am your Majesty's person!"
"General Kang, I am the person specially sent by your Majesty to Cambrian City to investigate the dragon-patterned stone carvings. I represent your Majesty." Duan Ming's tone suddenly changed, and his eyes were fixed on Kang Shaolong: "General Kang, you
Pointing the square halberd at me means pointing at His Majesty, what, do you want to rebel?"
"I..." Kang Shaolong's expression changed, and he hurriedly took back the Fang Tianji. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "How do you prove that you are His Majesty's man?"
"Proof? This is Xing Qianqiu, the commander of the Mirror Division. Is that enough?" Duan Ming pointed at Xing Qianqiu and said.
"General Kang." Xing Qianqiu walked out from behind Duan Ming and showed the badge of the Commander of the Mirror Division: "Is this enough?"
"Hmph!" Kang Shaolong saw this and snorted coldly: "Let's go!"
Then Kang Shaolong took the people and left directly.
Seeing this scene, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu did not say anything to stop them.
This Cambrian City is so high that the emperor is far away. If Kang Shaolong really ignored them, he would directly attack them and kill them.
Will His Majesty really fall out with the prince behind Kang Shaolong for a mere Duan Ming?
However, Duan Ming was not afraid just now. After all, they were not alone. Not to mention the dozens of people from the Mingjing Division hiding in the dark, even Li Daxu and the others could not let things develop like that.
"Brother Duan." After Kang Shaolong left, Li Daxu came to Duan Ming's side: "What you just said was domineering."
"Hehe, it's not like I have General Li supporting me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go toe-to-toe with General Kang." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"Oh, brother Duan, please don't be so humble." Li Daxu smiled and patted Duan Ming on the shoulder: "Brother Xing, let's go, let me treat you two to dinner!"
"Then there's Brother Lao Li." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"Thank you." Xing Qianqiu also nodded.
Soon, under the leadership of Li Daxu, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu went directly to the residence of Li Kai, the king of Jubei.
"General Li." A soldier saw Li Daxu and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are back so soon today?"
"Haha, I met two old friends and good brothers today, so I came back early." Li Daxu laughed loudly and said: "Hurry up and ask someone to prepare some food and drinks for me. I will not get drunk with these two brothers until they return!"
"Oh, General Li's old friend? You really need to entertain him well." The soldier said with a smile: "You go in first, and I will send someone to prepare food and drinks in a moment."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, brother." Li Daxu smiled and waved his hand, and a heavy pile of silver fell into the hands of the soldier.
"You're welcome." The soldier immediately smiled even more happily.
Then Li Daxu took Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu into the mansion and went straight to his room.
After closing the door, Li Daxu said to Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu: "By the way, the banquet will be held for a while, so I can tell you about the current situation in Cambrian City."
"Thank you, General Li." Xing Qianqiu said.
"Oh, don't worry about General Li. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Li. Otherwise, just call me Da Axe. Any ax will do." Li Da Axe said with a smile: "General Li, you are a strange heretic.
"
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Li." Duan Ming nodded.
"Hehe, that's right. I'd like to thank you and call you Brother Duan and Brother Xing." Li Daxu said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The reason Cambrian City is like this now is related to the dragon-patterned stone carvings.
.By the way, how much do you know about the dragon-patterned stone carvings?"
"The whole body is blood red, with a dragon on top and a dragon pattern on the bottom. The bottom is engraved with the words 'Fengtian Chengyun'." Duan Ming said.
"Yes, it's just such a stone sculpture. The dragon is so lifelike." Li Daxu said, "Several princes all want it, including our prince."
"But all five princes want it, so Zhenbao Pavilion is a little helpless." Li Daxu said: "No prince can afford to offend Zhenbao Pavilion. This thing is like a hot potato."
"Then what happens? What happens to this dragon-patterned stone sculpture?" Duan Ming asked doubtfully.
"In order to solve this hot potato, Zhenbao Pavilion finally came up with a way - auction!" Li Daxu said: "No one cares, no one is offended, the one with the highest price wins."
"This is also a way." Duan Ming nodded.
"Yes, this was originally a very good idea, but God knows what went wrong in the middle. It happened that this very good method had the biggest problem." Li Daxe shook his head.
"Brother Li, you said I was confused. What's wrong?" Duan Ming asked.
"On the day of the auction, that is, five days ago." Li Daxu said: "King Guangsheng Li De was attacked on the way to Zhenbao Pavilion, and several guards died. However, although King Guangsheng is usually greedy for money and lust, his martial arts
But he was also extraordinary, and in the end he killed all those who attacked him."
"The terrible thing is that after killing those people, those people turned out to be our prince's subordinates." Li Daxu's face looked a little ugly: "What's more important is that our prince did not bring those people with him, he came by himself.
"
"Then King Guangsheng came to our prince to question him. Our prince was also very angry and sent people back to Jubeicheng to investigate. He has not returned yet."
"Then that day, a fire suddenly broke out in the mansion of King Shunjing Li Ruo, burning down several buildings and dozens of servants."
"King Shunjing suspects that it was Li Hun, the king of Changping, who did it."
"Then King Changping found poison in his food and suspected that King Longchang did it..."
"Ahem, that means everything is completely messed up..." Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly.
