Hou Lin's words were very calm, but even Huwa, who was not a court official, felt a little frightened. Liangping was just a servant of Prince Huiliang, so what qualifications did he have to stay in the palace overnight? This was clearly under house arrest and he was not allowed to
No more contact with anyone. As for "escorting" Young Master Huiliang back to the capital, it might as well be called escorting.
At this time, Hou Lin sent the Beidao clan who was demoted to the forbidden area of Pengshan, the general who was not afraid of heaven and earth and dared to get into any trouble, to handle this matter, probably to capture Huiliang on the spot.
He is a young master from a junior high school, and no charges have been confirmed so far. He sent a secret envoy to deliver an urgent report, but he was somewhat seeking credit. Most people would not dare to take him directly.
The news of Shaowu's return will not be announced until tomorrow. At this moment, only those in the palace know about it, and Huiliang certainly doesn't know either. According to the secret report sent by Huiliang, how could Prince Zhonglan know that Shaowu returned from Wufuqiu and what happened?
How could he know the secret of that caravan? More importantly, if Zhong Lan wanted to assassinate Shaowu, how could Huiliang know such news in advance?
Regardless of Huiliang's good intentions or bad intentions, the fact is that he did not save the caravan. Dajun and others were attacked three days ago.
The general outline of the matter has emerged in Huwa's mind. The news of Shao Wu's return to the country has been leaked. Even his identity on Wufu Hill has been known. But even if someone knows the plan of Shao Wu's return to the country, they can only investigate
It turned out that he was returning home in a caravan. If we continue to investigate in secret, Dajun will most likely be listed as an assassination target, and Hanxiong's appearance next to Dajun will make this even more certain.
judge.
The person who planned the assassination may be the young master Zhonglan, or there may be someone else, or even the young master Huiliang. If Huiliang failed to prevent this from happening, then in his opinion, the young master is dead and Zhonglan bears the blame.
, among all the princes in the country, he is probably the one who can succeed him.
Young Master Zhonglan, Young Master Huiliang, and Huwa were both seen in the forbidden area of Pengshan. Zhonglan is the eldest among the adult children of Hou Lin. In the past few years when the young minister was away, he and the ministers and various ministers of the country
There are many friends in the tribe, so if the young minister encounters an accident, he is most likely to succeed as a new king, so he may do such a thing.
As for Young Master Huiliang, he is a direct disciple of Mr. Yuan Deng, the leader of the Liangfengding sect. When Huwa met him last year, he was still a monk in the third realm. Not long ago, he heard that his cultivation had broken through the fourth realm. It seems that this person's
The qualifications are very good, and Mr. Yuan Deng must have put a lot of effort into cultivating this disciple and has high hopes for him.
Huiliang used his identity to travel around the country, making friends with various sects and monks, and his influence in the country was not small. If Zhong Lan killed the young minister, and Huiliang exposed his conspiracy and captured Zhong Lan,
Then the reputation in the country will inevitably be higher, and the descendants who have only a short time will probably have no other choice when determining their successor.
Although Hou Lin claimed that the miracle doctor Peng Keng cured his illness, it is not difficult for interested people to find out his physical condition before he met the tiger baby. There must be something fishy about this matter, even if Hou Lin has been fine this year. Many people
I am afraid that I also understand that the life of this monarch will not last long, and the time is just right to launch this series of plans.
It is a pity that the young minister is not dead now and has returned to the country safely, so all these plots are in vain. No one knows in advance which route the young minister will take and in what capacity he will return to the country, not even the young minister himself. This is
Arrangements for the backyard.
Hou Lin sent someone to invite Mr. Yuan Deng to the capital to discuss the Zen Ceremony. This was just an excuse. It was probably because he suspected that the Liangfengding sect was involved in Huiliang's conspiracy. With Mr. Yuan Deng as a hostage, this sect
The sect must not make any more changes.
Mr. Yuandeng is a master of the Sixth Realm. He cannot be invited by an envoy. It is easy for him to avoid him. However, the monarch mobilized military formations in the four surrounding cities to "protect" the Liangfeng clan.
Man, this is no protection at all. It is clear that the entire Liangfeng clan is being held hostage, forcing Mr. Yuandeng to come to the capital obediently and wait until the matter is found out before he can go back.
The monarch only said a few simple words to control such a complicated situation. Huwa did not expect that when the young minister returned to the country and succeeded to the throne, he would be accompanied by so many swords and swords. It seems that now Bashi Kingdom and Bayuan
The situation in the five countries is very complex.
If Hou Lin had not sent a young minister to Wufuqiu, and he had stayed in the capital in the past few years to control the situation step by step, which would make it easier for the smooth handover of the throne, so many incidents would not have happened. But Hou Lin's wish was not
Not only should Shaowu succeed to the throne smoothly, but also Shaowu should become a unique king in Ba Yuan and complete the achievements of Yanzhao.
Huwa has so many thoughts in his mind, and Hou Lin must have seen the situation more clearly. But these are not the primary issues that Huwa is concerned about now. He only hopes that Hanxiong and Dajun will be fine, and that Mr. Changling will still have time to save people.
, he still had time to respond. If they really encountered an accident, Huwa would never let the murderer go.
Huwa left the palace and the capital overnight. He drove the car himself, with only a dog sitting in the car, and a striking red festival stick stuck in front of the car, which was the symbol of the king's messenger.
Holding this section, Huwa can travel unimpeded through the city walls and checkpoints along the way, and can also intercept the secret reports sent to the capital from each city wall at any time. After all, what the monarch received yesterday was just a message from a bird, and the more specific situation still needs to be at Zenkowa Castle.
Send someone over there to report. The further Huwa walks on this road, the more detailed the report he will get.
Huwa stopped several carriages with black knots on them along the way, all coming from the direction of Zenkowa City. He asked them what they were going to report to the capital. Huwa's expression became more solemn as he listened, and the general situation gradually became clearer.
…
There was a caravan of more than 20 vehicles and more than 50 people entering the country from Zheng Shiguo. They rested in Shanchuan City and sold goods in the market. There was nothing unusual. The transaction was completed in Shanchuan City.
After that, he continued his journey north, towards the capital. The area north of Zenkowa Castle was somewhat desolate, with large areas of wild forest and swamps. The road was once destroyed by a flash flood the year before last.
The caravan spent the night in the wild and was attacked. No one knows what happened that night. It was only in the early morning that the billowing smoke attracted the attention of people from afar. When people arrived,
What I saw was a shocking sight.
Vehicles, goods, livestock, and corpses were all piled together, poured with kerosene and set alight. The pungent smell filled the air, but there was no one alive. Chen Nan, the lord of Shanchuan City, heard the news and personally led his people to check.
Everyone's first reaction was that the caravan encountered robbers or bandits.
However, the area of Bashi Country has not seen rogue bandits for decades. Even if a few small bandits occasionally appear, it is impossible to massacre such a caravan overnight. Moreover, thieves intercept and kill caravans.
In order to seek wealth, but after checking the ashes, it was found that the goods in the caravan were not taken away at all, but were all piled together and burned.
Almost everything that could be ignited was reduced to ashes. Among the ashes were a large number of damaged pottery coins and metal objects, including fragments of armor. Many trees were broken on both sides of the road, there were landslides on the hillsides, and there were many large craters nearby. It was obvious that there had been an explosion.
It was a fierce battle. According to trace analysis, the person who took action was so advanced that even the master engineer of the city was shocked.
It's not that a few masters have been here before, but at least nearly a hundred people have fought here. How could an ordinary caravan have such a powerful guard force? And how could such a powerful caravan be defeated?
Surrounded by people and slaughtered? The situation was extraordinary. The Lord of Chennan City quickly sent people to report to the capital, and at the same time ordered the military division master to trace the clues to the murder.
The poor city lord still doesn't understand what happened. With his status, it is impossible for him to know the secret of this caravan. But in any case, such a tragedy occurred in his jurisdiction, and he
As the city lord, he didn't notice anything in advance, so he couldn't escape the punishment of the king. I'm afraid he couldn't even protect his position as the city lord.
Chen Nan sent an envoy to report to the king urgently, and at the same time he also sent his trusted aide to look for the prince Zhonglan. He came from the tribe of his mother and his mother, which was also the largest force in Shanchuan City, so Chen Nan could sit on the throne of the city lord.
Location. He sent someone to inform Zhong Lan about this, hoping that when the monarch blamed him in the future, Zhong Lan could put in a few good words for him. However, the people Chen Nan sent did not come back.
…
Huwa kept hearing the latest news on the road, and the closer he got to Shanchuan City, the more uneasy he became. Although he still held on to the hope of eventuality, he also knew that the possibility of Hanxiong and Dajun surviving was very small.
, sitting on the carriage, tears flashed in his eyes.
In the quiet night, under the hazy starlight, Huwa is still driving, but he is in a trance state, and controlling the carriage is just a subconscious action. If Huwa hadn't been highly skilled in cultivation, he would have been in a state similar to a trance.
If I had an instinctive reaction, another person would have driven the car into a ditch.
In the villages on both sides of the road, sleeping people heard the sound of a horse-drawn carriage passing by. Many people thought they were dreaming. Who would gallop on horseback in this dark night?
Huwa has changed horses many times along the way. At this moment, he is driving with his eyes closed, and there are still tears in the corners of his eyes. With his eyes closed, Huwa seems to have seen the past scenes with Hanxiong and Dajun on Wufu Hill.
Then the scene of the convoy being ambushed and Hanxiong and Dajun fighting in a bloody battle appeared in Yuanshen, and all of this finally turned into blazing fire and flying ash all over the sky...
Outside Hongjin City, Huwa watched the caravan leave with his own eyes. Now so many living people no longer exist, disappearing in a fire. The firelight and fly ash raging in the Yuanshen scene, Huwa
The scene of the Qingshui clan's city being massacred appeared before his eyes again.
Huwa had never seen that scene with his own eyes. He was still a baby at the time and was hidden in the secret room under the altar. However, the mountain god imprinted this tragic scene into his soul, and it became his memory in deep silence again and again.
The experience in the environment. This is also Huwa's inner demon, the seed planted deep in his consciousness by the mountain god, accompanied by hatred and murderous intention. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
