The news that Emperor Lianyun was lying on his bed due to illness had already spread throughout Kyoto. At the same time, the news that several princes were waiting in front of his bed day and night had also spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Lian Luosheng and the two prime ministers on the left and right were acting as supervisors for the political affairs of the DPRK. This also caused the entire Kyoto to speculate that Lian Luosheng, the supervisor of the government, was in control of the government affairs and would definitely be made the crown prince by Emperor Lian Yun.
In the dungeon, after Liancheng learned about this through Mu Wanting, he felt like an ant on a hot pot, restless and worried, unable to calm down at all.
What he was worried about was not that Lian Luosheng controlled the government, but that several royal brothers would take advantage of his father's serious illness to secretly deal cruel blows to his father.
"Ting'er, go out and tell Chen Yi and Tian Xue that I want to see them!"
He remembered what Long Chenyi said to him a few days ago, that as long as he wanted to go out, Long Chenyi would let him out.
In the past few days, he has been doing exercises to heal his injuries, and his injuries have recovered to the eighth level. There is nothing wrong with his body and he is completely ready to go back.
Although he knew that Long Chen must have a plan when he let him back to the palace, he couldn't care about that much at the moment. It was more important to protect his father first.
"Liancheng, don't worry. The affairs in the court have spread all over the city. The emperor and Sister Xue naturally know it well!" Mu Wanting pulled the restless Liancheng to sit on the couch and comforted her: "The emperor said that as long as the time comes,
, he will release you back to the palace. Now, by releasing you back to the palace during the day, wouldn’t it be to alert the enemy? At night, when the emperor releases you back to the palace, you can secretly find out whether the rumors are true, and think about countermeasures to deal with it!"
"Ting'er is right. If you go out now, in addition to alerting the enemy, you will also arouse the other party's defense and assassination." Mu Tianxue's voice sounded, "At night, if you go out again, not only can you spy, but you can also find Ouyang."
Old general, think of countermeasures to counterattack!"
Mu Wanting and Liancheng followed the sound and saw Mu Tianxue and Long Chen walking towards the cell door. Mu Wanting stepped forward and bowed to Long Chen and Mu Tianxue.
Liancheng walked up to Long Chenyi and said in a deep voice: "If you let me go back to the palace, wouldn't you be taking a big risk? If I raise my troops to arrest you, do you think you can return to the palace safely?"
"Your doubts are very reasonable." Long Chen Yi looked at Liancheng with his heart-piercing black eyes, and a charming smile appeared on his lips, saying: "So, in order to eliminate all risks, it is best for you to be locked up in the dungeon.
!”
"You're not kidding, right?" Liancheng's face became more serious, and his forehead was covered with black lines. Okay, he admitted that he was talking too much, "Tell me, what are the conditions for letting me out!"
"Reporting to Master" At this time, Zhong Tongsheng entered the dungeon and ran to Long Chenyi, saying respectfully: "Master, Shadow Killer has come to report that the army stationed on Baili Slope outside the city has set off and is envoys to the imperial city.
"
"What?" Before Long Chen could speak, Liancheng was already shocked and said: "The army is marching towards the imperial city. Is it the army that the emperor sent to the front line for support?"
The army transferred to the front line for support should be the troops of the old general Ouyang's family. How could they return to the imperial city?
Could it be that his father had known that changes would occur in the court after he was captured, so he allowed Old General Ouyang to lead the army to station outside the city?
"That's right, the army that was originally sent to the front line to support did not go to the front line at all, but was stationed outside the city." Mu Tianxue played with his hair and said casually: "The army will return to the city at this time. It must be ten minutes after nightfall.
, the army will rush to the imperial city."
Mu Tianxue said it so straightforwardly that even a fool could understand what he meant. Liancheng's face had already turned pale, and he didn't need to think deeply. He also knew what the meaning of returning to the imperial city at this time was for the army that had been transferred to the front line.
"If you want to let me out, just ask for any conditions!" Lian Cheng looked at Long Chenyi with a gloomy and terrifying look, "I want to go out now!"
"The conditions are very simple, take this pill!" The smile on Long Chenyi's lips became even wider. He took out a pill and handed it to Liancheng, saying in a deep voice: "You have to think clearly, I will definitely
I won’t force you!”
"There's nothing to think about!" Liancheng took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp, then looked at Long Chen and said, "Now, you can let me out!"
"Let him out." Long Chen also raised his hand. Zhong Tongsheng behind him nodded, took out the key and opened the cell door. Long Chen also continued: "Take Prince Liancheng down to bathe and change clothes!"
"Yes, Master" Zhong Tongsheng responded, walked up to Liancheng, took out a black cloth, covered Liancheng's eyes, and led Liancheng out of the dungeon.
"I knew the army would return to the city, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!" Mu Tianxue raised her eyebrows, holding Long Chenyi's arm and walked out of the dungeon, "Liancheng is too weak to go out and think of countermeasures right now.
There are over three hundred thousand people in that army. Even if we kill for days and nights, I'm afraid we won't be able to kill them all."
"Liancheng has his own methods, do you think he hasn't cultivated forces behind his back these years?" Long Chen also smiled and pinched Mu Tianxue's nose, saying: "He secretly cultivated no less than 30,000 cavalry sergeants. These
The cavalry sergeants are lurking in every corner of the capital. Liancheng will not dispatch the cavalry sergeants easily unless it is absolutely necessary!"
"Thirty thousand cavalry troops?" Mu Tianxue's eyes were full of interest, "So, you let him out because you want him to dispatch the 30,000 cavalry sergeants lurking in the dark and let him fight against the 300,000 troops?
"
Long Chen also glanced at Mu Tianxue with a smile, and put his long arm on her shoulders, "Don't underestimate the 30,000 cavalry troops under Liancheng. If we want to succeed, we must get rid of these 30,000 cavalry troops and the 30,000 cavalry troops."
One hundred thousand troops!"
Mu Tianxue raised her eyes and stared at Long Chenyi, her eyes full of admiration. This man, "non-toxic and non-husband", either didn't take action, but once he did, he was so dark that it made people's hearts tremble.
When Liancheng and Lian Luosheng were fighting to the death and both sides suffered losses, Long Chen was also dispatching the ultimate killing organization. By then, it would be absolutely easy to eliminate the two opponents.
"What, you think your husband is very vicious?"
Hearing Mu Tianxue's words, Long Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her. As long as he conquered the whole world, no one would dare to hurt her even a little bit.
"How can this be called ruthlessness?" Mu Tianxue curled her lips and sneered: "Being kind to the enemy means being cruel to yourself. In the struggle, you can only be ruthless and poisonous. Only by eradicating all enemies who harm you can you survive!"
Long Chen also raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Tianxue's eyes with a smile. Just when he was about to speak, Zhong Tongsheng came over and said, "Master, Prince Liancheng has left the inn! His subordinates have sent people to follow him secretly.
"
"Remove the people," Long Chen also glanced at Zhong Tongsheng and said coldly: "There is no need to follow him secretly!"
"Yes, master, I will withdraw my troops right now." After responding, Zhong Tongsheng turned around and left.
When Liancheng heard the news that the army had returned to the city, he had no time to waste on bathing and changing clothes. He directly put on the human skin mask Zhong Tongsheng handed him and changed into brocade clothes. He left the inn and went straight to the outside of the city to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
small temple.
The small temple was dilapidated, but it could provide shelter from the wind and rain. Liancheng entered the temple, walked straight to an old Buddha statue, flew to the Buddha's hand, and pressed the little finger of the Buddha.
He heard a dull sound of "bang", and a stone door appeared under the lotus base of the Buddha. He landed in front of the stone door and walked in.
There is a long passage inside the stone gate, with candles burning on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, illuminating the entire passage.
"Who are you?" A sharp voice sounded, causing a series of echoes in the passage.
Before Liancheng could speak, several men in black came towards him. In a flash of cold light, a sharp sword was pointed directly at his throat. He turned steeply on his side and flipped over the heads of the men who were stabbing him.
Behind a few people, "Stop, it's me!"
He raised the Soul Seizer in his hand and stretched out his hand to tear off the human skin mask on his face. Several men in black were shocked and immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "See Master, hasn't Master been arrested? The subordinates have gathered.
Everyone is planning to save the master and come back!"
"Have you gathered everyone?" Liang Cheng said, turning around and walking into the passage. The man in black behind him got up and followed: "I learned that the master was captured by the imperial army, and my subordinates were worried about the master, so they gathered all the people.
Everyone has gathered, and at this moment, everyone is gathering at the next stop!"
"Gao Qiu, immediately send someone to investigate a hundred miles outside the city to see if there is a large army heading towards Kyoto. Who is leading the army? How many troops there are? Go and return as soon as possible!" Lian Cheng ordered the people behind him as he walked.
"Master, what happened? Could it be that the imperial army attacked Kyoto?" Gao Qiu was quite puzzled. If the imperial army attacked Kyoto, many cities would have been breached, and the front lines would have been the first.
Time brings news.
Moreover, how did the master return to the dynasty after he was clearly captured? Could it be that the master's capture was just false news deliberately released?
If this is the case, then the master’s purpose for doing this has something to do with the court and several princes!
Could it be that the army my master is talking about is——
"No need to ask any more questions, get it done immediately!" Liancheng stopped and looked at Gao Qiu coldly, saying: "This matter is very important, so we must rush back before Shen Shi."
Seeing his master's serious look and sharp words, Gao Qiu knew the importance of the matter, so he didn't ask any more questions. He immediately responded, "I obey," and quickly retreated.
"Gao Su, Gao Xiang, you two go to Beijing immediately and buy a large amount of black beans," Liancheng continued to order the other two: "Sprinkle all the black beans you bought and sold with poisonous powder, and dump them all fifty miles outside the city!"
"Yes, Master!" Gao Su and Gao Xiang respectfully accepted the order and immediately left to do it.
"Lin Feng, Zhao Jin, you two follow me to the stone chamber!" Liancheng glanced at the remaining two people, turned around and walked towards the stone chamber. Lin Feng and Zhao Jin followed him. Zhao Jin said: "Master, could it be that Chao Zhong
Several princes wanted to take the opportunity to raise troops to make a comeback, but General Ouyang, who has a large number of troops, is on the master's side, how could he-?"
"Old General Ouyang can be trusted!" Liancheng walked to the stretcher in the stone room, playing with various poison-making experiments, and said: "But his two ambitious sons have a fair heart. If the army returns, it can be seen that
They have secretly colluded with people in the DPRK."
"There was news from the front that the master was captured. The emperor was worried about the master, so he specially dispatched troops and ordered the two sons of the old general Ouyang to lead the army on the battlefield. The army numbered 300,000." Lin Feng picked up a rabbit and while
The good poison dropped into the rabbit's mouth, and he said: "If they really collude with the thieves and raise their troops to attack the imperial city, the consequences will be disastrous-"
