Like Qing'an City that we passed before, Fengyang City is not a big city. It is similar in size to Qing'an City. The city is located about twenty miles away from the official road.

When Zou Heng, Renwang and others arrived at Fengyang City, it was not yet noon. Because there were injured soldiers in the team, everyone used magic to assist them on their way to ensure that everyone could rush as quickly as possible.

Go to the city and arrange for these injured people to rest.

When the officials who came back with them reported the arrival of King Ni and others, officials from Fengyang City immediately rushed over, and the scene became somewhat similar to that in Qing'an City.

After some greetings, Zou Heng and other injured people were arranged to rest first. King Ni and Li Sheng were still in contact with those officials. Zou Heng would also be among the people they originally contacted, but he

I didn't like this kind of occasion very much, and the injuries on my body really didn't heal, so I didn't follow them together, but stayed to take care of these injured soldiers.

Based on the condition of these injured soldiers, Zou Heng estimated that it would take at least seven or eight days for everyone to recover, even with the best medicine.

But if they stay in Fengyang City for seven or eight days, it's really hard to say what dangers they will encounter when they hit the road.

"You shouldn't rest here for too long. You still have to hit the road as early as possible. Otherwise, safety cannot be guaranteed for the rest of the journey!"

After checking the recovery status of all the soldiers, Zou Heng couldn't help but have this thought flashing through his mind.

In the afternoon, King Ni and Li Sheng finally got rid of the officials in Fengyang City and returned to their resting residence. They met Zou Heng. The three of them had the opportunity to sit down and discuss what to do next.

"Today I checked the recovery status of the injuries of all the soldiers. Those with relatively minor injuries should be able to recover in two or three days. Those with more serious injuries may take seven or eight days to recover."

"I'm going to Fengyang City for a short break. We shouldn't stay too long. The longer we wait, the greater the chance we'll encounter dangers we can't handle when we hit the road again, so we still have to hit the road as soon as possible."

After seeing the two of them, Zou Heng took the initiative to speak first, which was rare.

After hearing Zou Heng's words, King Ni didn't express any opinion, but just turned his attention to Li Sheng.

Although he is the person with the highest status in the team, and the main purpose of this team is to protect him from returning to the royal capital safely, it is Li Sheng who really decides what this team should do.

Li Sheng looked at Zou Heng, his eyes fell on King Ni again, and then he slowly spoke.

"The warlock who was caught last night, his name is Zhang Chu. We didn't get much from him, but from the things found on him and his accent, we can infer that he should be in Wenxia City all year round.

Activities in the area.”

When Li Sheng opened his mouth, he did not respond to Zou Heng's words. Instead, he talked about Zuo Ye's warlock, and what he wanted to express was not very clear. However, neither Zou Heng nor King Ren were fools, and they had learned from him.

In what he said, you could hear the key words he said.

Wenxia City is a city located near the eastern border of Yu State. Like Ye City, it is also a large city.

This city is the fiefdom of King Fu of Yu State, and King Fu and the current leader of Yu State are also the blood of the previous generation of kings. Because they were competing for the position of king, this King Fu chose to preserve himself at the most critical moment.

With his power, the Wenxia City area has now been completely transformed into his own territory.

Since the dead warlock may have been active around Wenxia City all year round, it is already obvious who sent him.

After a slight pause, seemingly giving Zou Heng and Renwang time to digest, Li Sheng spoke again.

"There is also the warlock who attacked us on the official road before. Although he was not arrested, when we interrogated Zhang Ju last night, according to the other party's explanation, he was still among the people who attacked us last night. The origin of the warlock

Although I don’t know, the person who sent him found out from Zhang Yu that it should be Chen Guogong’s mansion!”

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he saw that Zou Heng and King Ren were still looking at him and continued to explain.

"A concubine of the current king was born in Chen Guogong's mansion. Before I set out to greet His Highness the King, there was news that the concubine seemed to be pregnant with the king's son."

Hearing Li Sheng's explanation, Zou Heng and Ren Wang immediately understood. No wonder the Chen Guogong Mansion would send people to kill Ren Wang. Most likely, during the time Li Sheng left, the concubine had been identified.

The child she was carrying was a boy, so she had the idea of ​​letting him ascend to the throne of the country.

With the magician's means, after a woman is pregnant, two or three months later, she can use magic to detect whether the child she is carrying is a boy or a girl. Zou Heng also heard about some weird magic techniques that can detect the child in her belly.

At this stage, the gender of the fetus in the belly is changed.

At this time, Niou already had a wry smile on his face. He was originally looking forward to returning from Qi, and he would be greeted by a life of hardships and joys. Even if there were more hardships on the road, it wouldn't matter. But in the past few days when he returned home, his experiences along the way told him

, even after returning to China, his hard days are not over yet.

Noticing the wry smile on Niou's face, Li Sheng had no intention of comforting him. Instead, he continued to speak to increase Niou's psychological pressure.

"Prince Fu, Chen Guogong's Mansion, these two families belong to you, His Highness Renwang, who sent people to rob and kill you. But besides these two families, there are many people who want to get rid of you and get rid of you. The children of the former king are still alive.

In addition to the current king, there are three in total. King Fu is now interested in this aspect. King Cheng and King Wu, how could they be willing to give up the second chance to compete for the position of king?

."

"The strength of our Yu State is considered medium among other countries. It borders Qi State in the north and Wenxia City in the east. After crossing the national border, it borders two small countries. They will also test our Yu State's national strength from time to time. The southernmost one

It is a sea area. Although there are no countries bordering it, there are many things that need to be guarded against on the vast sea. The small countries established by a few warlocks in the west are peaceful, but who knows how long they can be peaceful!"

"His Royal Highness, I will protect you all the way from Qi State to Yu State. Even if I can protect you back to the royal capital, it does not mean that you will have peace of mind from now on. On the contrary, what you will face next will be worse than

What you have experienced along the way is even more dangerous. I will have the courage to ask His Highness the King, Are you ready to face this, and are you ready to take over the position of ruler and safeguard the peace of our country, Yu?"

After Li Sheng said these few words, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Niwang's eyes tightly. Although he did not emit a powerful aura, he had an aura of calmness and self-power.

Oppressing the human king.

Seeing Li Sheng like this, Niou was afraid to look at him for a moment, and felt a sense of timidity in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to avoid the other person's eyes and show his cowardice.

"I……!"

He lowered his head slightly, first avoiding Li Sheng's gaze, and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't. His body shook slightly, as if he was a little uneasy, and then his eyes

He turned towards Zou Heng, with a hint of asking for help in his eyes.

Seeing Nioh behave like this, a flash of disappointment immediately flashed in Li Sheng's eyes. The oppressive aura on his body slowly dissipated, and then he stood up and bowed to Nioh.

"His Royal Highness, I will lead my generals to escort you back from Qi State. Many of them have been buried in foreign lands forever. Now only these more than a hundred people are left. We, on the order of the Lord of the Kingdom, will naturally

You will fulfill your duties faithfully and complete your mission, but I still hope that Your Highness will think carefully about whether you are really ready to return to the Royal Capital. Now, after returning to the Royal Capital, will you be able to live a satisfactory life in the Royal Capital?

?”

After saying this, Li Sheng took two steps back until he reached the door. Then he turned around and stood there without moving.

"I don't mean to offend what I said today. I just don't want His Highness Niou to finally return to the capital after going through hardships, and then something unexpected happens again. I don't want these soldiers under my command to fight hard."

The mission that I was destined to complete was in vain in the end!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Sheng took steps and walked out. Only Zou Heng and King Ren were left in the room.

Looking at Niou who was slightly hunched over and looking a little timid, Zou Heng noticed a small detail about him.

The moment Li Sheng walked out of the room, Nioh's body was straighter than before.

This small detail shows that Niou may not be really cowardly, but his current behavior is clearly very similar to that.

After thinking for a while, Zou Heng quickly came up with an explanation. The cowardice displayed by Niou was probably a habit, a deliberate disguise he made to protect himself after being a hostage in a foreign country for a long time.

It's just that sometimes, if you pretend for too long, you really get into this kind of personality, and it's hard to get out of it for a while, and you may even become such a person.

"Master, I...!" Niwang felt Zou Heng's gaze and turned around as if he wanted to say something, but he also hesitated and continued to maintain that cowardly image.

Zou Heng stood up at this time, smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, you are no longer in Qi State. Although it is not completely safe, there are some things that you don't need to be so cautious about. In Yu State, your

His identity is His Royal Highness the King!"
