Chapter 127 Recourse

King Tai, also known as Cheng Ming, was the second son of the late emperor, and also It is Cheng Zheng’s second brother.

When the late emperor was still around, Cheng Ming was only Second Prince.

However, isn’t this Cheng Zheng already enthroned?

After Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, according to the usual practice, the princes of the previous emperors also passed the canonization, and then let him leave Shengjing.

At this point, Cheng Zheng’s operation seems to be more than that.

In order to show his generosity, he conferred two of his elder brothers as kings. Among them, the big brother was conferred as King Liao, and the second brother Cheng Ming was conferred as King Tai.

Of course, this is just the light board king.

As for all the treatment that the prince should have, such as Fiefdom, rewards and even other things, except for a few.

That’s a pretty name.

From this point of view, Cheng Zheng is still relatively stubborn in nature.

He gave some nominal things generously, but the substantive things were very stingy, so that people around him couldn’t help but complain.

As the object of Cheng Zheng’s competition for the crown prince before, even if these two were crowned kings, they would have nothing to do. .

The guard said unceremoniously, even stricter than Heavenly Prison in Shengjing.

Unless there is an astral qi, it is unimaginable for ordinary people to get out of it.

For the two Guangban princes who failed to seize the throne, this kind of treatment was already enough, and there would be no problem in thinking about it.

The result didn’t expect, even so, people still ran out.

Cheng Zheng’s wine immediately sobered up, and he changed many thoughts during the trouble.

He thought of many things.

Who is helping King Tai out of trouble?

There is no doubt that someone will help, otherwise, with a completely lost King Tai, how could he run out under Cheng Zheng’s eyes?

What is the purpose of helping King Tai get out of trouble?

Being able to rescue people quietly, this is impossible for ordinary people.

Then what was their purpose in taking King Tai away?

All kinds of thoughts entangled in the heart, causing Cheng Zheng to frown.

“Forget Duke Liu.”

Faced with this situation, Cheng Zheng subconsciously wanted to call Liu Chu, but stopped halfway through the call.

Liu Chu was taken to rest early, and now he is probably more drunk than he is, and he can still do things.

“Call Duke Chen over for me.”

After a circle in his head, he finally thought for a moment before speaking.

The person below said yes and turned around quickly.

And just a moment later, Chen An’s silhouette appeared in front of Cheng.

Efficiency can be described as leverage.

Looking at Chen An who was still tall and straight in front of him, his spirit was calm, and he didn’t look drunk at all, Cheng Zheng felt a little emotional.

Sure enough, at the critical moment, Chen An in front of him is still reliable.

Drinking really sucks!

It is also fortunate that Chen An didn’t know this, otherwise he would have complained in his heart.

You were the one who made the drink, and you were the one who said it was a mistake.

Of course, he definitely didn’t know this in his heart, so his face was still very calm. After seeing Cheng Zheng, he just bowed slightly: “Your Majesty, what is your order?”

“Chang’an, there’s something wrong with King Tai.”

The people present were all his own people, and Cheng Zheng didn’t hesitate at all, he said directly: “You immediately lead someone to block the city gate, and put King Tai on the ground. Catch them back.”

“If anyone dares to stop them, execute without any mercy immediately!”

The faint words were filled with a murderous aura, which seemed to be really killing intent .

Chen An paused, and then slowly nodded: “The minister follows the order.”

It is late at night now.

The city gate in Shengjing has long since closed.

There is a curfew everywhere.

In the past, it should be very quiet in Shengjing, except for a few places, there is basically no smoke.

In the era of no nightlife, the city at night is basically the same.

But tonight, everywhere seems so unusual.

“Fire out! Fire out!”

“Help!”

In Shengjing, several neighborhoods were on fire at the same time, and people calling for help were everywhere.

This is a big problem.

Most of the houses in Shengjing are made of wood, which is easy to catch fire. However, some areas where civilians live are often crowded in order to save space.

It’s usually easy to say, but at this moment, once it catches fire, there is a big problem.

At this moment, the guards in the city have gone to put out the fire.

If there is no accident, even if the fire is saved, it is estimated that many people will die.

oh la la

Bursts of Ice-Cold Qi pervade all directions, devouring everything like an invisible dragon.

Flakes of water were sprinkled directly into the air, and a terrifying sight appeared out of thin air.

Chen An walked among the burning houses on foot.

The pressing heat from all over the place was surging towards him, but it didn’t seem to have the slightest effect, and it couldn’t stop Chen An’s progress at all.

He just walked forward.

Walking along the road, crystals spread on the ground automatically, frost covered everything, forcibly blocked the fire.

People everywhere stared blankly, not knowing what to say.

There are also some knowledgeable people who looked at Chen An’s silhouette with complicated expressions.

Fire is not uncommon, it happens every few years, and it happens often.

But it’s really rare for an astral qi to act as a firefighter.

Maybe this Shengjing has never been seen before.

Blessed are these people.

No return, but the effect is really good.

An astral qi personally acted as a consumer, and the fire everywhere was quickly contained.

Although there are still large areas that have not been extinguished, those that remain after the most dangerous and terrifying places are under control are naturally nothing to fear.

Chen An walks in this area, all around.

Bang!

A silhouette appeared in front of him in an instant, and then Chen An slapped it and flew out, directly hitting him seriously.

“Sure enough, someone was deliberately trying to prevent fire.”

Looking at the person appearing under his feet, Chen An couldn’t help frowning.

This fire happened too coincidentally, it happened at the juncture where King Tai disappeared, and it was a bit unusual.

From the current situation, most of this was done deliberately, in order to distract attention and mobilize the guards in Shengjing to create opportunities.

It is not a trivial matter to catch fire with this idea, and a bad loss will be especially heavy.

Once it happens, the entire Shengjing guards must be mobilized.

“Take the person down and interrogate him well.”

Walking around and looking at the person under his feet, Chen An said lightly.

Soon someone stepped forward and took the man down.

In the following time, news from all over the place came together.

“Sir, the three city gates on the north side are all fine!”

“The two city gates on the west side are fine!”

“The east gate is fine! The gate is still safe!”

“What about the south side?”

Chen An circled all around, complexion grave and stern: “If I remember correctly, there are also three gates there. “

“This”

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, a person, Brace Oneself, came out and said, “Sir, the southern one The gates are too far apart, and the people who were sent to investigate, still have not returned.”

This is the truth.

As the capital of Great Hua, Shengjing occupies a large area.

In order to facilitate entry and exit, there are naturally a large number of city gates set up everywhere. It is not so easy to find out in a short time.

It is very reasonable that no one will come back for a while.

But reasonable is reasonable, but a little out of place.

After all, the soldiers are very fast, and by the time those who have been investigating in the past come back, maybe that group of people will have already run out.

“Have you checked the embassy?”

Chen An continued to ask: “Are the envoys sent by Song Dynasty still there?”

“In the embassy? The lights are all on, and the sound of reading is heard from time to time, so I think they are all inside.”

Someone responded.

“The sound of reading?”

Chen An frowned immediately, then raised his head suddenly: “Go, go to the south gate!”

He didn’t say anything else, just directly Take people away, leaving only the others looked at each other in blank dismay, looking at each other.

Of course, in the crowd, there were a few people whose complexion changed slightly, looking at the silhouette of Chen An leaving, their faces were full of disbelief.

The night is deep, and the moonlight shines on the outside, like a silver dress on the earth.

Outside the official road, a carriage was driving on the road with several people sitting among them.

Cheng Ming was dressed in plain clothes, and his face looked a little tired. Compared with the past, he also looked a little thinner now, and he also looked a lot of tempering.

It seems that he has not suffered less during this half-year period.

This is very natural. After all, he is Cheng Zheng’s political enemy in the past. He has offended the emperor today. What good fruit do you want to eat?

It would be nice to be alive.

So even if he was dressed in plain clothes, but he could take it out from Shengjing, Cheng Ming’s face looked pretty good, a smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the old man in front of him: “I can get away from this time. Sheng Jingzhong left, thanks to Mr. Liu.”

“King Tai is very kind.”

The person sitting opposite Cheng Ming is none other than Liu Sheng.

Looking at Cheng Ming in front of him, he also had a smile on his face: “Your Majesty and I are very sad that His Highness King Tai has suffered such a change. It made the court and the public complain.”

“At this critical moment, it is exactly the need for a wise king like you, His Royal Highness King Tai, to stand up and serve the country.”

“Otherwise, Great Hua The foundation of hundreds of years, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in the hands of Yongjun.”

“Sir, you are very kind.”

Cheng Mingshook the head, said with a bitter smile:” How can you be considered a sage king, if it wasn’t for your rescue by Liu Old Mister, I am afraid that sooner or later, I would have been trapped in Shengjing.”

“But as you said, now the Yongjun is in power, and the common people Complaints are full of grievances, and for the sake of the world, solitary has no choice but to comply with people’s hearts.”

He said with deep emotion, looking at it like this, it really seems like the same thing.

I don’t know how much he loves the people.

If Cheng was here, he would probably have a good talk with him now.

But Liu Sheng obviously won’t argue with Cheng Ming.

He will only nodded agree.

“Yes, the world is in chaos, and a wise king like His Royal Highness is needed to be born.”

He cupped the hands and said earnestly: “The old man and even the entire Song Dynasty are willing to Help Your Highness.”

“Old Mister Liu, don’t worry.”

Cheng Ming also smiled and assured: “If the widow can seize the world, go back to the source, and ascend the throne as the king, and the future will definitely be Generation after generation, they have been reconciled with the Great Song Dynasty to form a marriage relationship between the two countries.”

“Hahaha, that would be better.”

For a while, one of them dared to say, A cheer, the atmosphere in the carriage also became very warm for a while, looking at it like this, it seems that I can’t wait to worship.

Among the two, Cheng Ming seemed to be in a good mood.

Having been trapped in the mansion for a long time, once he got out of the trap, he suddenly felt a sense of being trapped in a dragon, and his heart was very happy, and he was about to do a major event.

As for Liu Chu on the side, he is not so optimistic.

“The big fire just now should be able to delay it for a while, I hope I won’t run into who is chasing after it.” The driver is on his way.

“Liu Old Mister, you have filtered it.”

Cheng Ming couldn’t help laughing: “With the people you brought with Old Mister, it doesn’t matter if they can catch up, even if they can catch up. , so what?”

“With Mr. Yang here, even if someone dares to catch up, it’s just a trivial matter.”

Cheng Ming said with a smile.

He is the prince of Great Hua. He has been in the Great Hua Dynasty for so many years. Do you still understand the situation of the entire Great Hua?

There are indeed many powerful Martial Artists in the entire Great Hua, and there are also many astral qi.

But the problem is that although these people are from the Great Hua Imperial Court, it is not so easy to transfer them.

Some astral qi, like the previous generation Duke Chen, who were conferred as princes, usually retreat in their own mansions, and will not stay in Shengjing for long.

If you want to mobilize, you must order the emperor himself, and then send the will to it, it is too late.

There are astral qi in the clan, but they basically have their own purposes.

One guards the mausoleum of the Great Hua Taizu, and the other guards the ancestral temple and also retreats all year round.

There is also a man in the north who helps defend against the northern state of Lu.

There are only two clan worshipers who really stay in Shengjing, and they also need to guard the inner court, which is also easy to not appear.

To put it badly, Cheng Zheng had just ascended the throne, so in such a short time, he might be able to mobilize those two clans, let alone others.

After all, in this world, astral qi are all top-level talents, and they can be called the weapon of the country.

So Cheng Zheng seemed very relaxed and felt that most of the time no one could catch up.

But Liu Sheng is obviously not as relaxed as Cheng Zheng’s heart.

“The other people around the Great Hua emperor are nothing, except for the commander of the guards beside him, the new Duke Chen hero, who is a trouble”

Liu Sheng sighed, said.

“The new Duke Chen, Chen Changan?”

Cheng Ming frowned immediately.

He was locked in the mansion for more than half a year, and he was somewhat sluggish about news from the outside world. Although he knew that Chen An had become the new Duke Chen, the specifics were not quite clear.

In the final analysis, this is what has been detained for a long time and has become somewhat out of touch with society.

“Speaking of which, His Highness seems to have recruited that Duke Chen. I wonder if you can know the news about that Duke Chen?”

Liu Sheng said suddenly.

For Chen An’s news, he is very concerned.

After all, this is such a young astral qi, whether it is from the enemy or any other point of view, it is necessary to understand as much as possible.

Of course, if possible, he also wanted to try to win over one or two to see if he could pull this Duke Chen from Great Hua and let him join the Great Song.

No matter how unlikely it is, it’s worth trying.

What if the hell happened?

However, Cheng Ming disappointed Liu Sheng.

For Liu Sheng’s question, his hands and eyes were blank.

What news can he know about Chen An?

His impression of Chen An is still a flattering and fawning in the past.

On the one hand, he was locked in the mansion and could not receive news. On the other hand, Chen An himself kept a low profile at all times and did not disclose his own information at all.

The pretense is too good.

In this case, what specific news can Cheng Ming be expected to know?

It’s a bad thing to say, what he knows is probably not as good as Liu Shengduo in front of him.

At least they are serious officials of the Song Dynasty.

“Is that Duke Chen important?”

Seeing Liu Sheng’s repeated inquiries, Cheng Ming was a little puzzled.

“Naturally.”

Liu Sheng nodded, just about to explain: “That Duke Chen”

Bang!

There was a crisp sound outside, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing.

The carriage forcibly stopped.

Liu Sheng frowned immediately: “What’s going on?”

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately walked out of the carriage.

Afterwards, he couldn’t help but be taken aback.

In the front, on the long and narrow official road, there was an extra person.

More importantly, this person, Liu Sheng, is not unfamiliar, and he was even talking about it just now.

“Duke Chen!”

There were bursts of exclamations from everywhere.

Several silhouettes riding by the carriage exclaimed.

“Looks like the old acquaintances are all here”

Chen An’s voice came from in front, and a look of surprise appeared on his face at this moment.

Good guy.

In front of him, Zhao Jun, Qin Wan, the Song Dynasty Heaven’s Chosen that he had sparred with before, were all there.

Looking carefully, Liu Sheng also walked out of the carriage and stood in front of Chen An.

“Mr. Liu, what are you doing?”

Looking at Liu Sheng walking out of the carriage, Chen An said lightly: “But my Great Hua was not well entertained. , so that you have to rush back to Song Dynasty overnight without even saying hello?”

“The hospitality of your country is rich, but we have important things to do, so we can only be rude .”

Liu Sheng smiled and said: “It’s Duke Chen, how did he find us?”

“I think I’m doing very clean hands and feet, even if someone should chase It’s not so fast to come up, but Duke Chen still found it.”

Yes, the hands and feet are clean.

In order to successfully bring Cheng Ming out of Shengjing, he also asked people to prevent fire in Shengjing, divert their attention, and let people do tricks on several city gates in the south, so that people who would investigate in the future will be retained. , making it impossible to judge which city gate they left from.

Even if someone suspected them and went to the embassy where they lived, they could only find those who left behind a disguise.

There are several links in the middle, but if you hesitate and delay a little time, you will never catch up with them.

But that’s it, he can still be caught up, which really makes Liu Sheng feel puzzled.

“It’s actually very simple.”

Faced with Liu Sheng’s doubts, Chen An said lightly, “I guess.”
