Chapter 205 Li Deen enters Suzhou with a high profile
With a touch of the setting sun as a backdrop, the angry horse headed straight for the capital.
Xiao Chaoguo had just returned from Prince Qi's Mansion and was preparing to return to the capital with his guards.
"Sir, wait!" Ning Fei's voice came from behind, and a group of soldiers in Xuanjian Division uniforms rode up to catch up.
Xiao Chaoguo turned around: "What's the matter?"
Ning Fei stepped forward and took a breath before saying: "Your Majesty, we have received a letter from the capital, asking our troops to cooperate in capturing a master of martial arts. I know I am outmatched, so please help me."
"Who is the master of martial arts?" Xiao Chaoguo said with disdain.
Ning Fei said: "The No. 10 player in Emperor Zun Pavilion's master list last year was Li Deen."
"That shabby swordsman who plays swordsman?" The Xuanjian Si is not hanging in the court, but also hanging over the heads of people in the world. Xiao Chaoguo also has a lot of treasures for the masters of the world.
"It's him."
Xiao Chaoguo nodded. It would be easy to understand if he was this person, but he was not comparable to someone like Ning Fei.
The gap between warriors is sometimes wider than the gap between rich and poor people.
"Your Majesty ordered us to capture or kill him?" Xiao Chaoguo asked.
He did not ask why he wanted to arrest this person. The Xuanjian Division only had to obey the order and asked why that was the responsibility of Dali Temple and Tingwei Mansion.
Just make a sword.
"The decree says to arrest him first in front of the young master, and then find a suitable reason after avoiding the young master..." Ning Fei didn't finish his sentence, but Xiao Chaoguo completely understood.
"In other words, Li De'en may have gone to assassinate the young master, and may have implicated a certain dignitary in the capital, but His Majesty did not want them to quarrel, so he wanted to silence him." Xiao Chaoguo muttered in a low voice, and only Ning Fei heard it.
Ning Fei said: "My lord, although this Li Deen was only ranked tenth last year, he has always had reservations. There are rumors in the world that his martial arts may be very high, and we are really no match."
Xiao Chaoguo nodded.
Naturally, he did not take this person seriously, but was worried about another thing:
"Have you given the young master a warning?"
Ning Fei shook his head: "Your Majesty, since the capital has informed us, the Young Master should also have received the news, right?"
Xiao Chaoguo looked at him speechlessly: "Can what was notified by the capital be the same as what was notified by us?"
"Even if the capital has already issued a warning, if we remind the young master one more time, the young master will remember this favor."
Ning Fei suddenly realized: "Thank you, Sir, for your guidance. I will send someone to deliver the message."
"Follow me first and go straight to Suzhou!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty also has a decree that after we go to Suzhou, we should obey the orders of the young master."
"knew!"
…
The seventeenth day when Luoyang raised his troops and left the border.
Outside Suzhou City, a horse came, as dark as ink.
"BMW..." The guarding Yulin Army soldier only took one look at the horse and saw that it was a BMW with excellent appearance and endurance.
It is even comparable to the sweat-blooded horse of the Black Dragon Rider.
When he walked into the city, Li Deen expected to see people dying of hunger everywhere, beggars and homeless people everywhere, but he did not expect that the city was already peaceful.
There was a porridge shed inside and outside the south city gate. When Li Deen passed by, he took his horse and took a look at it.
"Is this porridge?" Li Deen saw that the porridge in the pot was so thick that it was just like dry rice soaked in some water.
The soldier who served the porridge took a ladle and found that it was all rice, with only a thin layer of soup floating on it.
Li Deen has seen the old porridge shed.
"You're so willing to give up?" He was a little puzzled. When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but catch a glimpse of a wooden sign outside the porridge shed from the corner of his eye.
On the wooden sign hanging outside the porridge shed, there were two lines of large characters written on it:
"If the chopsticks float into the porridge, the head of the person in charge will fall to the ground!"
Two simple sentences, but Li Deen saw murderous intent.
"This... sounds fresh." Li De'en couldn't help but sigh. There were no such rules during disaster relief in the past.
He was suddenly curious and guessed: "Is it the trick of that young master?"
Feeling the crowd around him, Li Deen pulled away and led his horse towards the inn in the city.
The inn closest to the South City Gate is called Fengyue Inn, which has always been famous in Suzhou City. People who come from Daxia will choose this place first.
The reason is also very simple, it is close.
…
When Li Deen checked into Fengyue Inn, Fang Jue already knew about him.
"Leading a bloody horse, dressed in Jianghu clothing, and carrying a sword box into the city alone?"
Fang Jue shook his head: "Is he afraid that he won't know that I know he's coming?"
Li Deen is really too careless. At this time, all Jianghu people who come to Suzhou must be monitored, so he is so careless.
Either it's a big deal or it's intentional.
"Does he want me to know that he is here, or does he think that I will not suspect that he is involved with the King of Wei?" Fang Jue was not sure what this person was thinking.
"Perhaps he wanted to provoke or warn us to let us know that he was coming, and deliberately avoided him to avoid any disputes," Dianyi explained.
He is a Jianghu person and knows the temperaments of these Jianghu knights best.
If you respect me a foot, I will give you a foot in return.
If I warned you in advance and you still want to risk your life to embarrass me, then don't say it was unforeseen.
"More than that..." Ye Hongyi said, "Maybe he wanted to test to see if Chu Huairen had confessed to King Wei."
"Yes." Fang Jue also wanted to understand this level.
Li Deen deliberately entered the city in a high profile. If he was embarrassed or targeted when he went to kill people and silence them, it would mean that Chu Huairen had betrayed King Wei.
Then there may be more than one person he wants to attack, Chu Huairen.
And if everything goes as usual and he is just being monitored and no measures are taken, it means that Fang Jue has not been prepared for him.
Chu Huairen did not betray King Wei.
"Jianghu people are smart enough." Fang Jue said with a smile.
But intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Dianyi.
Why is this one in my house missing a root?
"Young Master, does this mean we don't care about him?" Bai Qing touched the handle of his saber, feeling a little itchy.
Bai Qing wanted to fight against a master like Li Deen.
Fang Jue suddenly glanced at him: "Since you want to fight with him, then go and test the waters and challenge him in the name of a Jianghu person. This can be regarded as a warning from me not to mess around in the city."
"ah?"
"Wouldn't this alert the enemy?" Lin Beidao said.
Fang Jue shook his head with a smile, and Ye Hongyi explained: "No, it will make Li Deen feel that everything is normal."
If a martial artist with great martial arts skills enters a place full of chaos, the government will definitely comfort or warn him.
At least I'll give you a few pointers.
If you ignore him at all, it will make Li De'en think that the other party is afraid of alerting the enemy, and thus suspects Chu Huairen and betrayed the King of Wei.
"etc……"
Just after Bai Qing left, Fang Jue looked at Ye Hongyi and the others.
"What did you just say? The horse Li Deen led was a bloody horse?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"What color?" Fang Jue asked.
Ye Hongyi: "It's black, didn't you hear clearly just now?"
But after she said this, she was stunned on the spot.
"Black sweat-blooded horses are the only ones in Daxia..."
Lin Bei reacted quickly: "Only the Black Dragon Riders! Except for Mo Yuan, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, the others were given one by His Majesty. There are no spare blood horses in Daxia."
"Unless he bred it himself... King Wei even has his own horse farm?" Cheng Jie didn't know these things and was suddenly confused.
Fang Jue already knew about King Wei's horse farm.
But things are still not right.
The flying dragon carriage and the stallion from Beiliang are not sweat horses, but another kind of good cold-resistant horse.
The sweat-blooded horse is produced in Western Chu, which is too far from the northern border, and its breeding and living environment are different.
In other words, King Wei also had a horse farm in the west, and could even breed sweat-blooded horses. This was not something that ordinary horse farms could do!
"Did Li Deen expose himself intentionally?" Lin Beidao said.
"This is not a crime. After all, as long as you have money, smuggling or buying stallions from the Western Regions for breeding... are all feasible." Ye Hongyi shook his head.
Fang Jue: "The Black Dragon Riders have a unique breed of sweat-blooded horses. Only the royal family of Western Chu and Chuzhou in the west of Daxia have stallions. The stallions in Chuzhou are owned by the imperial court and are only supplied to the Black Dragon Riders."
"What the young master means is that the King of Wei either has access to Western Chu, or bribes people from the Chuzhou Racecourse and gets stallions...could it be said that he is really targeting the Black Dragon Cavalry and raising a cavalry by himself?"
Lin Bei and others already knew about King Wei's affairs.
Of course, it was Fang Jue who told them to be on guard against King Wei's bribery and frame-up when they returned. After all, they had been branded as members of the Young Master Party.
As for the cavalry that was targeting the Black Dragon Riders, Lin Bei was very wary of them because he knew very well the Black Dragon Riders' combat prowess.
