Chapter seven hundred and fifty seventh princes meet
Chapter 757: The gathering of princes
Chapter 757
Just when Fang Yun was rushing to the capital, in a remote old house in the mountains, Li Yu, the Marquis of Zhenguo, also received a summons from the court.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty has an order. We must rush to the capital within ten days! In an emergency, there is no delay. Please obey the order, Master Marquis."
The person who delivered the letter was a military messenger, and he exuded an air of battlefield killing. He had obviously experienced war and had killed people under his command. He still came to such a remote place.
The Marquis of Zhenguo held the letter in his hand and frowned. The location of this old house was extremely remote and far away. If it were normal, half a month would not be enough to return to the capital by carriage. However, the Emperor's order was limited.
He arrived within ten days, obviously knowing his cultivation level, and traveled day and night to Shangjing.
"Thank you for your hard work. Please tell your Majesty that I will rush back to the capital within the agreed time."
Li Yudao said, "The emperor's order is like a mountain. At this time, it is impossible to resist, and you can only agree."
The military officer clasped his fists and made a promise, then immediately turned his horse's head and galloped away deep into the mountains.
Li Yu watched the military envoy leave, narrowed his eyelids, and immediately turned around and entered the inner room. In the room, two brothers, Li Guang and Li Chen, were drinking tea, seeming to have forgotten state affairs.
"This is the latest order from the imperial court."
Li Yu said and handed the transfer order to Li Guang. The two brothers passed it around and fell silent.
"Guang'er, you are the eldest son. It was your idea to return to the old house this time. Now, the court has called us back, so please pay attention."
Li Yudao. The way of father and son is to follow the father's orders and the son obeys. There are few like Li Yu and his son.
However, Li Yu knew very well. A few years ago, he might have been able to control the Li family. But starting from a few years ago, everything began to be different. This can be seen from the martial arts cultivation of these two brothers.
figure it out.
With his ability and family background, it is impossible to teach a son of Tian Chong realm. In fact, even he relied on the promotion of his eldest son to reach the pinnacle of heaven in recent years.
Li Guang held the letter and remained silent. There was a look of thinking in his eyes. Before he spoke, Li Chen blinked at the side, but he said something first:
"Father, brother, the truth is that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. This place is in a remote place and the traffic is not smooth. Although my father just agreed to him, if we really don't want to go back, this matter can be easily solved. This military mission has just left. We have just left.
Set off immediately and kill him immediately before he returns to the capital. In this way, no one can tell that we have received an order from the imperial court. In this way, even if we disobey the order, no one will know after the incident.
We can be held accountable."
Li Chen changed his words, but what he said was extremely cruel. He was careful to kill the military officer.
Li Yu was startled and looked at the second son in surprise. This was almost treason. Such military missions were delivering royal orders, which was equivalent to imperial ministers. Killing him would be the same as treason.
He is a hereditary noble prince and has never done anything like this before.
"This is inappropriate and needs more consideration."
Li Yu said almost without thinking that it was not unreasonable for him to be granted the title of Marquis of Zhenguo, even if Marquis Pingding failed, he was not defeated. After hearing this, he felt that this matter was a bit too much.
"Father, it is said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, and those who are not poisonous are not husbands. The imperial court is in troubled times. Once we return to the upper capital, I am afraid we will be trapped in a whirlpool and unable to escape. Moreover, if the secret is deceived, even the emperor will not be able to escape.
We can’t figure out that it was us. When the time comes, we can just deduce that it was people from those sects who did it.”
Li Chen said, his eyes flashed, his expression was sinister, and his words were extremely logical. It was obvious that he was not just out of his mind.
"That's enough, little brother, what father said makes sense. Murdering a military officer is absolutely not allowed."
Li Guang waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Brother!" Li Chen was surprised: "Aren't you so kind to a woman?"
Li Yu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
"Brother, it's good to be deceived by Tianji now. But what about after this storm? Tianjitai's deception can't last forever. When Tianji returns to the Qingming Dynasty, then we only need to use innate calculations and reverse deduction.
, then we know everything. We fled here originally to avoid disaster. If we commit such a thing, wouldn’t we rush to recruit others?”
Li Guang said slowly. After all, he sees things further than Li Chen. Li Chen only sees that the secret of heaven is now deceived, but he forgets that the secret of heaven cannot be deceived forever. Nothing in this world is an absolute secret. If you do it,
It will leave a clue.
When Li Chen heard this, he was startled. In the blink of an eye, he broke out in cold sweat and his face turned a lot pale. If his elder brother had mentioned it, he had forgotten this level.
Li Guang sighed:
"My mother's old house is in a very remote location. Ordinary soldiers cannot be sent there at all. If you don't have the intention, it is impossible to find this place. - Your Majesty has the intention! Father, pack your luggage immediately and set off immediately. Now, Your Majesty has already
When you notice us, I can't refuse."
As he spoke, a trace of worry flashed across his brows.
Half an hour later, the father and son immediately went out and sped towards the upper capital. With the speed of the three of them, they did not catch up with the messenger within a hundred miles. The other party was obviously not a real military messenger.
When Li Chen noticed this scene, he was sweating in his heart, knowing that he had escaped unintentionally.
…………
It was night when Fang Yun hurried back to Shangjing City. The entire capital city was brightly lit with weapons and patrolling imperial troops. Outside Shangjing City, there were even more troops recalled from various places, with flags everywhere and murderous intent rising to the sky.
An atmosphere of tension and preparation for war filled the air.
This is what Fang Yun saw when he returned to the capital.
"Master Hou!"
When the imperial guards at the city gate saw Fang Yun, they stood at attention and saluted. Everyone was no stranger to this champion of the great Zhou Dynasty.
"Um."
Fang Yun nodded and walked forward.
After leaving the city gate, I immediately saw several eunuchs from the inner palace, with their heads full of silver hair, holding a portrait in their hands, and discussing something. When they saw Fang Yun, who was dressed in a marquis uniform, they immediately came towards them.
"But Mr. Champion Hou?"
A eunuch said.
"Exactly."
Fang Yun nodded slightly.
"Your Majesty has an order, please come with me!"
The eunuch said a few words and immediately led Fang Yun into a room. The room was bustling with people, many princes gathered in it, and the sound was noisy.
There were more than a hundred princes in the Zhou Dynasty. Many of them were stationed abroad, and Fang Yun had never seen them. Everyone gathered together in twos and threes, their expressions focused, and they did not notice Fang Yun coming in.
Fang Yun listened carefully for a while, but they were just discussing what big move the court was making by calling so many princes. After all, the court had never summoned all the princes in this way in so many years.
"This is...the Champion!"
A prince suddenly saw Fang Yun and was startled. He let out a low voice and was about to speak. Fang Yun signaled with his eyes, and the other party immediately became quiet.
"Master Marquis, weren't you in Xuzhou to quell the rebellion? You are back so soon! You have also received an order from the imperial court!"
This man whispered in a low voice, with a mysterious look on his face. But it was the grassroots that Fang Yun had seen before, Que Tianhou Li Ling.
Fang Yun was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that this lowly person with no real power would also be called in.
"The Three Continents have been pacified and we have been summoned to return to the capital."
Fang Yun said lightly. He exchanged a few casual greetings and walked inside. Fang Yun walked very fast. Several people saw him and were about to say hello, but he had already passed by.
"I don't know if Marquis Zhongxin has been recalled."
Fang Yun quickly shuttled through the crowd. When he passed another connected hall, he suddenly stopped and noticed a figure in the hall. It was a corner, where many people formed small circles in twos and threes, chatting with each other.
, but this man was sitting alone in a corner, raising a glass and drinking. Beside him, a beautiful woman accompanied him silently.
"Marquis Feng Ning!"
Fang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. The great Zhou Zhihou who guarded Yan City was unexpectedly recalled. This prince has been guarding the barren land in the west and rarely returns to the capital. In Shangjing City, it is normal for him to have little friendship with other princes.
.So when others gathered in twos and threes, he drank alone.
"Master Hou, long time no see."
When Fang Yun walked up to Marquis Feng Ning with a smile on his face, the Marquis was slightly startled at first, then continued to react and showed a smile:
"So it's you, sit down!"
On the side, the beautiful woman stood up cooperatively.
Fang Yun sat down calmly: "Long time no see, Lord Marquis, how have you been lately?"
"In the border land, there is no war and harassment. Apart from being a little lonely, it is also leisurely. As for you, I heard that you went to quell the rebellion in the three continents of Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yangzhou. It should have been pacified."
Marquis Feng Ning chuckled and said, Fang Yun invaded the territory of Sanzhou. There is no information, so we can only guess.
"Yes. Some vixens are not very capable and the waves they have created cannot be overcome. Let's deal with them one at a time this time to avoid future troubles."
Fang Yun replied: "The transfer of the 27th Battalion this time will trouble Mr. Hou."
"It doesn't matter, but the army you have trained is amazing. However, you have to be careful. In troubled times, it is nothing. After this crisis is over, the army you have in hand will be..."
Marquis Feng Ning didn't finish what he said, so Fang Yun naturally understood the rest.
This army is truly astonishing. Most of them are at the spirit stage. At this level, in other armies, they would be great generals. Such an army of tens of thousands is privately owned by a certain prince.
In times of peace, this would be a serious crime of rebellion.
"In an emergency, if you do extraordinary things, you don't have to worry about me."
Compared with Marquis Feng Ning, Fang Yun is much more relaxed. In these extraordinary times, if the storm is over and the time of peace comes, he can just hand over this army to the Military Aircraft Department.
Conspiracy and rebellion? Fang Yun really has no interest in this. Moreover, even if he is an emperor, he is still an idler. To govern the country, he still has to rely on Confucian military strategists.
"Well, as long as you are confident. The imperial court is in a troubled time. If you make good use of your army, it will be a great good thing."
Marquis Feng Ning nodded.
Fang Yun smiled and said nothing. He carefully looked at Marquis Feng Ning. This Marquis was still young, but in terms of aura, he was still at the level of spiritual intelligence. With a movement in his heart, he had already paid attention.
"Master Hou, when I was in Yancheng, I was well taken care of. This time, it is rare for me to return to the capital. Please move my humble residence and allow me to show my friendship as a landlord. This is a small kindness. Please follow suit, Master Hou.
Accept."
As Fang Yun said that, he loosened his hand on the coffee table, and immediately there was an ancient divine elixir filled with medicinal energy, which was round and shining.
"Magic elixir."
There was an exclamation from the table, but it was not Marquis Feng Ning, and it was not that beautiful woman.
Fang Yun glanced at her in surprise, and then at Marquis Feng Ning. With such an experience, he was also accompanied by Marquis Feng Ning. The relationship between this woman and Marquis Feng Ning was quite special.
"Master Marquis, I will leave for a while. After a while, please don't come to the burrow. I will greet you."
"must."
Marquis Feng Ning nodded.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Fang Yun left.
When Fang Yun first joined the army, he enlisted under the name of Marquis Feng Ning. With his many cares, his promotion path became less troublesome. Now that he saw that his cultivation level was still not high, he gave him the magic pill as a gift.
