Chapter 47: Hundred Riders Like Blood
The atmosphere left the city became tense.
A street assassination against the top powerful people in Lijun that had not happened in many years made Licheng, a city that was originally peaceful and comfortable, become so vicious overnight. Some merchants on the street had closed their stores, and the vendors along the street would rather go to the villages and towns outside the city than go to Licheng again.
Although the second young master's injury was said to be not fatal, the garrison troops of the city became a fierce god. Not only did the whole city's martial law suppression make people breathless, they also broke into the houses of many people, captured many people and threw them into prison. The result was unknown to life and death, and people were panicked for a while.
Officials who had a place or were just a minor official at the court meeting were even more frightened. The gentle and elegant prefect smashed something on the court meeting again, and the roaring made the ministers unable to lift their heads. Then, a force that had always been hidden in the dark, which was moved. If the garrison army was inevitably in trouble, the family targeted by this force would probably be a fate without leaving any other.
As expected, two familiar faces disappeared from the meeting the next day, and this silent treatment made many people even more uneasy.
It was on this day that the repressed court meeting that did not talk about any government affairs was welcomed for the second time that the eldest son who returned from Zhongjing City was welcomed.
Under the gaze of the court officials with their own thoughts, the eldest prince directly expressed his willingness to set off for Cangyan today for retirement. He did not say anything like gratitude to the prefect, nor did he ask about the prefect's requirements for Cangyan's governance, nor did he mention the street assassination and the second prince who could not attend the court meeting. His attitude was as indifferent as if everything from the city had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to wave his sleeves and escape from here and fly to Cangyan who lives in a corner to live for a lifetime.
The prefect agreed without saying anything, without encouragement or comfort. The indifference to this son who had only seen him for more than ten years was also shocking, so the storm caused by the arrival of the eldest son that day made the prefect demote dozens of people to the southern battlefield in anger, and the huge army mobilization caused by the hostage was silently included in the unpredictable category of the heavenly heart and no longer had any connection with this extremely unpopular eldest son.
A very simple meeting and a very simple farewell. After the father-son conversation was over, the eldest son Luo Chuan bowed deeply to the prefect above with expressionless expression. After getting up for a while, he left the hall without looking back. He even left the court meeting without even finishing the meeting.
Then, the prefect who demoted his own son to the border area was in a good mood. Not only did he look much calmer, but he also suddenly came to deal with government affairs. He had been delaying the government affairs that had not been processed for a while, and he worked until lunch orders passed. After the palace waiter urged him three times, the court meeting ended and went to the harem.
However, after Luo Chuan left the Prefect's Palace, he got on the carriage waiting in the square in front of the palace. The high-quality carriage that was originally thrown in the corner of Luo Mansion was naturally taken for himself.
By the time they returned to Luo Mansion, there was a long convoy waiting here on the road in front of the mansion. Although the dozens of carriages carrying cargo were covered with rain-proof canvas, it was still possible to see the types of goods that were widely used according to their shape.
There were not many people carrying carriages, only five. Except for the obviously large and rich decoration in Luochuan, the other four carriages were just as spacious and ordinary as the one he took when he returned from Zhongjing City.
The beautiful woman was sitting alone, two Wangchuan sword cultivators rode together, and the remaining two carried six maids from the Luo Mansion, and they would follow Luochuan to Cangyan's house.
The escort of the convoy from the city was still the court guards who had previously guarded the Luo Mansion. There were not many people but only thirty people, but they symbolized the will of the prefect and would send Luochuan and his party out of the city.
Before noon, the convoy slowly set off.
Under the current tense atmosphere of Le City, the scene of such a large convoy leaving the city naturally attracted the attention of countless people. People just looked at it and secretly guessed who the many assets belonged to.
The journey was smooth, and after the garrison army was strictly inspected by the garrison when they left the city, the convoy slowly drove out of the city.
After leaving the city for five or six miles, gradually leaving the villages and towns outside the city, the sound of horse hooves sounded on the official road in the distance!
The sound of horse hooves came from afar. At first, it was just a rhythm that seemed chaotic but had a complex rhythm, rumbling like a thunder in the sky, making people secretly shocked.
As we got closer, the sound of horse hooves and the ground tapping became more and more obvious, as if the sound of war drums hit everyone's hearts, disturbing everyone's heartbeat, making people breathe rapidly.
The convoy stopped naturally, and everyone, including the palace guards, could only stare ahead.
Luo Chuan naturally walked out of the carriage and stood beside the old coachman, stepping on the carriage and looking into the distance.
Then I saw the stern blood color in the smoke and dust!
It's like a river of blood in the world!
Between the blue sky and purple soil, it shines like red glass!
It came in a bang!!
The red cavalry team, which looked like the sky army, slowly stopped a few ten meters away from the convoy after the leader raised his fist. The leader looked at Luo Chuan standing on the carriage, and knocked on the left-breasted iron armor with a right fist!
"Dong!"
One hundred cavalrymen performed cavalry salutes in unison. In the silence, the sound of uniform steel attacks in the cavalry salutes resounded through the wilderness, shocking several farmers in the field in the distance to fall to the ground.
The smoke and dust did not pass through the convoy, and all the coachmen and servants were covered in dust, but no one moved the upper part.
"It turned out to be... Blood Rider!" the old driver murmured in shock.
Luo Chuan just stared at the same quiet cavalry, stood there, clenched his fist with his right hand and hit his left chest, and he even replied with a military salute from the county!
The leader of the red-armored cavalry not far away raised his arms and gestured a few gestures. The one hundred cavalry divided into two teams, and then circled around the convoy silently, one team went forward and the other team backward, protecting the entire convoy.
The cavalry leader came alone to Luochuan's carriage and saluted. His voice was clear and full of energy. "Luo Changgong, the 100th general of the Light Cavalry Blood Cavalry Camp of Lijun, paid homage to the young master and was here to protect the young master's safety under the prefect's order!"
Luo Chuan did not help him immediately, but jumped out of the carriage and circled around him twice. First, he looked down at his red face armor, then knocked on his heavy red knight armor, and finally picked up his bloody cloak hanging on the ground and pulled it. Then he said, "This piece of equipment is more sophisticated than ordinary Lijun Light Cavalry. You are probably the elite among the elites. It's a pity to be a guard for me..."
The hundreds of cavalry generals kneeling on the ground did not look up or speak.
"Get up, Chang Gong," Luo Chuan reached out and patted the shoulders of the hundreds of cavalry generals and asked him to get up. When the latter got up, he realized that the knight in front of him was actually nearly one head taller than him. He was so mighty and mighty, "What did the prefect say?"
The cavalry generals bowed their heads and said, "The prefect only said that the hundreds of cavalry under him should swear to protect the prince to the death, and everything else should be followed by your order."
"Okay, then let me go to Cangyan first," Luo Chuan smiled and jumped into the carriage and sat next to the old coachman and whispered, "Where can be called the Blood Rider in this city...?"
