Chapter two hundred and eighty nine thousand miles away
Zheng Chenggong nodded: "Yes, you are right. We are going to leave in a few days. You should have a good rest. No one will take care of you on the way."
Zende rolled his eyes at his back, but he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if the boss became the emperor.
"I guess having a straight face every day scares all the civil and military officials to death." He muttered to himself.
At this moment, Lin Chong was lying comfortably in the carriage, holding Yuan Qingfang's little hand, not as hasty as he was running for his life yesterday.
Wang Chengen was panting and frightened outside. Mu Xi, Mu Mu and the Shadow Cavalry Guards were always on standby.
Just the day before yesterday, Lin Chong had decided to take action. At this time, King Huai and his civil servants approached Lin Chong. Those civil servants seemed to be planning to temporarily delay Lin Chong. Lin Chong guessed that King Huai could not help but take action.
The few civil servants who came to ask for an interview were already on his list, so Lin Chong decisively invited them to the imperial study room, closed the door, and locked them inside regardless of the questioning and shouting inside.
Lin Chong understood that the time had come, so the tasks previously assigned to Mu Xi also surfaced, and everyone on the list was controlled by Mu Xi as quickly as possible.
Don’t you want to stay in the capital? Well, I’ll satisfy you, but I don’t know if you will live to see your master. Lin Chong snorted coldly.
Things had been packed a long time ago. Except for a few ministers around him who knew when Lin Chong planned to leave, most of them woke up from their dreams. They packed up some gold and silver and some food and left quickly.
Yes, it was really embarrassing to leave.
In fact, if Ren Zanhua and Huang Xin hadn't persuaded him, Lin Chong would not have taken away those obstructive guys.
Ren Zanhua was worried. Even if he really wanted to move the capital, he couldn't keep all the ministers. It would be a mess by then. The trouble caused by the people left behind by the emperor would be enough to give him a headache.
How could such a mighty army not attract attention? A conflict was inevitable, but fortunately Wu Sangui's cavalry escorted them.
At the same time, under the training of Jonathan, the combat power of the people in the three major battalions was far beyond that of ordinary armies. These were the reasons why Lin Chong dared to leave the capital in such a big way this time.
The Shadow Cavalry Guards were constantly guarding Lin Chong, ready to deal with any emergencies. Lin Chong had a strange advantage because he took the initiative and imprisoned the spies on the list.
King Huai's men were already preparing to attack in the capital. Although Lin Chong chose the time in the middle of the night, he inevitably alerted the large number of intimidating guards in the capital.
King Huai, who came after hearing the news, had a sneer on his lips: "Your Majesty, where are you planning to go so late?"
Lin Chong's attitude was colder than him, and his tone was more arrogant than him: "Why, when do I need to report my whereabouts to King Huai?"
Standing next to Prince Huai with an expressionless expression, Yi Chen was already ready to take action. He slowly tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, looking ready to strike.
Lin Chong glanced at Yichen and winked at Mumu. Mumu understood and took off his broken army and stared at Yichen intently.
Prince Huai said with a gentle smile: "We are just concerned about your majesty's safety. It is easy for accidents to happen when leaving the capital at this time."
Lin Chong sneered, there would be accidents even if he didn't leave the city. He was still expressionless: "King Huai, I will only say this once, get out of the way, otherwise your current behavior will be the following, and you will be punished."
King Huai's smile did not diminish: "We are just concerned about your majesty's safety. Besides, your majesty must be aware of the current situation."
Lin Chong looked around. There were dense crowds of people surrounding him layer by layer. There was only such a big place on the street, and it seemed really crowded with so many people standing here.
Now it was obvious that Lin Chong was surrounded. The ministers who followed him were complaining in their hearts. They didn't know if they would die because of this. They should have seen the situation clearly before making a decision.
Lin Chong knew that besides King Huai, there were many people who were ready to take action. Not to mention the eldest son of King Rui and King Xiang, they must also be ready to take action at this moment.
But he did not show any fear: "Huai Wang Zhu Changqing, from now on, you have been deprived of your title, and all that awaits you is death."
Zhu Changqing covered his face and laughed: "Hahaha, you are really interesting, let me take it down."
With an order, a tidal wave of troops surged up. Lin Chong raised his lips and said, "Do you know who is being surrounded now?"
King Huai didn't hear his words clearly at all. Yichen attacked Lin Chong straightly. Lin Chong calmly took two steps back. Mu Mu came up with a broken army, and the swords collided with each other, making a tooth-piercing sound.
.
Obviously, both sides saw the other's strength from this moment, and no one dared to underestimate the other.
Mu Mu seemed to want to compete with this guy. He waved to a few people around him who wanted to come up to help: "Look after the young master, leave him to me."
Yichen sneered, this kid is too much to rely on. No matter how talented he is, Yichen has lived so many years longer than him in vain.
"Will the fierce sword break the army? What a pity, it will change its owner soon." Yichen was already sure that the boy opposite him was no match for him.
Mu Mu remained silent, waving Po Jun and relying on his agility to persist in the fight with Yi Chen.
Yichen was eager to carry out his master's orders and did not want to be acquainted with him. When Mu Mu was exhausted, he planned to kill him with one move and ended the confrontation without any suspense.
Unexpectedly, Mu Mu suddenly gave him a weird smile, and then just relied on his body skills to avoid Yi Chen's full blow, and it didn't look like he was exhausted.
Yichen had already realized that he had unconsciously moved his position with the wood in his eagerness for success. A bad premonition surged in his heart, and he drew back his sword as if he were retreating.
But it was obviously too late. The sword was thrust hard and it was impossible to pull it back immediately. Mu Xipi raised the folding fan in his hand with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are really skilled, but it's a pity..."
A stinging pain came, and Yichen saw a silver needle still shaking on his shoulder. He pulled out the silver needle, and then he felt dizzy.
"Sorry, it's poisonous." Mu Xi opened the folding fan and shook it gently: "If you don't go back and interpret it quickly, you will die."
Yichen's expression showed a trace of anger: "You... what kind of skills do you have for sneak-attacking me?"
Mu Xi put away her fan and held it in front of her: "This is interesting. We never said we would challenge you to a duel. Did you misunderstand something?"
