Chapter 92: Blocking the Road
After leaving the bamboo house, Tan Jing was not in a hurry to find Wen Jin. Her husband disappeared all day long, so she was too lazy to look for him.
After walking a hundred feet, she entered a bamboo forest.
"Come out!" Tan Jing's aura surged like a tide towards all directions of the bamboo forest.
To the southeast, a man in a green Confucian robe walked out from behind the bamboo. He frowned slightly and said, "Tan Jing, I haven't seen you for half a month. Your cultivation has improved again. At the late stage of the gentleman's realm, it seems that this time you will be able to master the arts."
The ruins have benefited you a lot."
He had a bamboo flute on his waist, raised his head a little, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Really don't know, or are you pretending not to know?" Tan Jing looked at it coldly, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said: "You left a soul on the green bamboo sword? You should know, I can see it."
"Pu Man, you are also a dirty person, spying on your disciples all day long, what's the matter? You are a bachelor, but you like to peek at women's grooming?"
Pu Man raised his eyes slightly and chuckled: "The entire Yingtian Academy knows that I, Pu Man, am not interested in women, why do you use this to tease me? Pu Man thinks he is not bad looking, and you are the only man in this world.
Master, I like you very much."
"Gentle, as gentle as jade, cautious in words and deeds, what a good name." Puman smiled slightly, with slight dimples on his face. The gentle breeze blew his hair, and his body stood like a green bamboo. "It's a pity, your family
My master spends all day studying ancient books and is reluctant to look at me."
"Get lost!" Tan Jing glared angrily. She had long been unhappy with Pu Man. She just had the good qualities of Long Yang, but she actually tried to lead my good wife to evil. What a dream!
"You know my identity. Zhuo Shangnuan is a child and not sensible, but what about you?" Tan Jing said coldly.
"She wants to kill Dong Jing's man, what should I do? If you don't give me a proper explanation, I don't mind destroying you and your disciples right now!" With that said, Tan Jing stepped forward, haughtily.
It surged all over her body, and the Qingluan ink mud on her forehead flickered slightly.
"Wait a minute," Pu Man didn't get angry and smiled calmly, "Don't be angry with me. That girl Yang Chun is only at the level of a half-step grand master in swordsmanship, and her cultivation in Confucianism and Taoism is only at the level of a gentleman. She is
He is no match for Lu Xing."
"Hmph," Tan Jing snorted coldly and frowned: "It's still sunny and snowy. You are so leisurely and elegant, why don't you take two girls under your wing?"
"Who knows if your disciple will use some kind of honey trap to confuse my husband and then assassinate him? If my husband has an accident, how can you compensate me?"
"Hey," Pu Man said with a sad look on his face, "She loves to assassinate and assassinate, and I won't stop her. There's cause and effect..."
Pu Man raised his eyebrows and said with great interest: "How about you ask the old man, he can give you an explanation."
Tan Jing didn't say anything more and walked away, forgetting that it didn't make sense. As long as he was sure that Puman wouldn't interfere, Lu Xing should be able to handle it.
"At most I can write a letter to Lu Xing and ask him to be careful."
Pu Man opened his eyes wide, watched Tan Jing leave, and whispered: "It is like an empty valley, and the heaven and the earth are of the same heart. It is really a great blessing of the heaven and the earth."
He looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "Old man, you'd better not have any bad ideas. If you ruin this picture of heaven and earth, I will definitely argue with you."
…
Xuejin City, the gate to the south of the city is open.
The setting sun hangs over the mountains, which stretch for thousands of miles, and the winter snow is endless. The carriage walks out of the shadow of the mountains. It is already the beginning of winter. Xuejin City is built in the mountains of the snow field, and there is snow everywhere.
Lu Xing opened the curtains and came to the front room. He opened his hands as if to embrace the whole world.
Lei Ying personally helped Lu Xing drive the car. This was her own request, saying that as the prince of the North, Lu Xing could no longer be shabby.
"Ha, haha," Lu Xing said with a red face, looking at the snow-capped mountains on both sides, "Everyone might as well take a look, this is my Xuejin City, the air smells so good, it makes you feel relaxed and happy.
.”
From a distance, you can see the appearance of a mountain city, with high city walls, beacon towers one after another, and neat crenellations on the mountains.
As soon as Lei Ying's horse whip fell, the carriage immediately accelerated, "What are you saying, Prince? I have received the news. The elders said that Sun Qi is dead, and all those Sun Qi's old men are blocking you at the city gate. According to me
Look, your Xuejin City is not easy to enter."
"That's wrong," Lu Xing shook his head, stood on tiptoe and looked at Xuejin City, and said with a smile, "They are welcoming me. It's always good to be lively when I go home."
"Haha," Lei Ying drove the car with both hands and lowered his riding whip, "Your Majesty is optimistic, let me see how you can convince the old generals."
The carriage drove quickly and arrived outside the south gate of the city.
Each of the old generals wore armor and held swords, and there were no others around them. More than ten old men stood in a row, blocking the city entrance.
"Control——" Lei Ying suddenly pulled the reins, and the front hooves of the four horses were raised high, and a lot of frost and snow were kicked up when they fell.
Lu got off the carriage and walked towards the human wall formed by the old general. He said with a smile: "Why don't you bring any servants with you? Even if you miss your nephew so much, you don't have to do this, right?"
These old generals remained silent and stood in military posture meticulously, not even giving Lu Xing a glimpse of their surroundings.
"Bang!" As the leading old general knelt down, the thirteen generals also knelt down and bowed their hands to Lu Xing without saying a word.
"What kind of status does the old general have? Why should he be so generous?" Lu Xing hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said with a smile: "Get up quickly. It's already the beginning of winter, so don't freeze your body."
Unexpectedly, the veteran general at the head didn't show any dignity at all. With a shake of his right arm, he separated Lu Xing's stretched arm. His strength and vigor were at least comparable to those of Duanjiang Realm warriors. This is because these veteran generals are older.
Everyone was at a loss, otherwise what stood in front of Lu Xing would be a human wall built by martial artists from the sixth floor of the Fourteenth Martial Arts. If the martial artists on the third floor saw it, they would be so frightened that they would kneel down.
At this moment, a large number of people gathered on the city wall and at the city gate. They all heard that the thirteen old generals wanted to block the crown prince outside the city gate, so they came specially to watch the excitement.
"The leader is Chen Da Dao? He is Marshal Chen's biological grandfather, so we can't neglect him."
"Oh, you didn't tell me everything. Marshal Chen holds the military power of 50,000 Dabeijin cavalry and Qinghuai frontier fortress. He cannot be neglected. I'm afraid the prince will have to treat him with the etiquette of younger generations."
"Tsk, tsk, there are quite a few old generals. That old general Ning Gao is also incredible. He is the uncle of the commander of the Dachi military soldiers. There are 80,000 Dachi military soldiers. This is half of the border guards in Xueyuan!"
"I heard that the prince killed Sun Qi in order to regain the position of King Wu? Is this true or false?"
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say. Didn't you see that the old generals came to the south of the city to block the crown prince? I just want to know the truth."
There were many people watching, and Lu Xing looked at the fourteen gray-haired old generals with helplessness in his eyes.
"Chen Da Dao, what do you mean? Are you taking the lead in blocking me? Everyone is watching. Let's make things clear today."
Chen Dadao's tiger body trembled, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he swallowed: "Your Majesty, can you plead guilty?"
"If the crown prince pleads guilty, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait..." As he spoke, Chen Da Dao couldn't say any more. He hugged Ning Gao who was very close and cried loudly, while the snowflakes on his shoulders fell to the ground.
You know, it only snowed this morning. Did these old men wait until now? Lu Xing was silent. Of course he knew what Chen Da Dao meant. He just wanted to know about Sun Qi's death.
"I didn't kill Sun Qi. When I left Xuejin City, I wouldn't argue with him. If he hadn't died, I would have stayed in Longhu Mountain and enjoyed peace and happiness." Lu Xing said calmly.
"But, but," the person who spoke was Bao Qigong, who had a sect of sixteen generals, leaving only Bao Qigong alone, "Sun Qi went to Longhu Mountain to invite the crown prince back to attend the coronation ceremony. They said that the crown prince
Jealousy in his heart led to murderous intentions, and Sun Qi died twenty miles away from Longhu Mountain. With the prince's means, he could do it."
"Qi Gong, don't you believe me too?" Lu Xing looked helpless. You must know that when he was a child, he always went to Bao Qi Gong's house, and his favorite food was the soup dumplings made by his aunt.
"Sun Qi was killed by Qi Mu. The first thing I did when I came down from the mountain was to avenge Brother Sun. You should all know the news that I killed Qi Mu, right?"
"I know." Bao Qigong nodded.
"Qi Gong is short-faced, let me speak for him!" The person who spoke was Wang Sanhou, the second master of the Wang family and the second-in-command in charge of Xuejin City's finances. "Who knows if killing Qi Mu was a cover-up for the prince? I am not a fool.
Some things can naturally be seen through the surface. If Sun Qi dies, who will benefit? The heir apparent should come first!"
"Wang Sanhou, right? When your eldest son embezzled thousands of gold in taxes, I caught him in the act. It was Wangge Lao who begged for mercy, so I only broke off his left arm," Lu Xing raised his eyebrows, he was really a bull-headed and horse-faced guy.
Come and step on him, he really can't stand Wang Sanhou's family. His wife is also a shrewd boss, who often hurts the family's employees. "You use your full abacus to tell me, what should I get?"
What’s the benefit? Sun Qi is dead, what’s the benefit?”
Wang Sanhou snorted coldly and raised his voice: "You still dare to ask me this question? Once Sun Qi dies, the position of King Wu will belong to you. Is that enough? In the vast Northland, there is no guarantee that you will not be greedy."
"Northland? King Wu?" Lu Xing curled his lips and chuckled.
He looked up at the towering walls of Xuejin City and asked Chen Da Dao: "Chen Da Dao, what do you think? In other words, if Chu Chu comes to testify for me, do you believe it? Or I take out the plate and
Do you believe the intelligence from various secret agents?"
"If you don't want to believe it after seeing the evidence and facts? Then Lu Xing doesn't have much to say."
Chen Daodao raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "You have a very good relationship with my granddaughter. I shouldn't have brought more than ten old people to block you, but there are some things that I can't be ashamed of, the old city master Sun Mu. Sun Qi is dead
, I agree, but I have three requests."
