Li Tai glanced at Kong Yingda and saw his eyes twinkling, so he naturally understood his inner thoughts.
But Li Tai did not go to comfort Kong Yingda.
Changsun Wuji joined in order to make Kong Yingda feel the crisis.
Although Kong Yingda said that he had been performing tasks for himself these days, there were frequent mistakes regarding Zhao Chen.
Li Tai wanted to tell Kong Yingda about Changsun Wuji joining his army.
If nothing is gained from this operation against Zhao Chen, what Kong Yingda has obtained now can be taken back at any time.
"Mr. Yingda, if my calculation is correct, Youwuwei has been out of the city for more than ten days, so they should soon encounter Zhao Chen."
"Tell me, can they kill Zhao Chen?" Li Tai suddenly stopped and asked Kong Yingda about Youwuwei going out of the city to intercept Zhao Chen.
How does Kong Yingda know whether Youwuwei can kill Zhao Chen?
What Kong Yingda knew was that if Zhao Chen didn't die, none of them would end well.
"Definitely, there are nearly a thousand soldiers in the Youwu Guard. As long as they find traces of Zhao Chendu, they will definitely be able to kill him easily."
"However, I still want to remind His Highness that Changsun Wuji's son Changsun Chong respects Zhao Chen very much."
"Changsun Wuji's sudden joining seems to be sincere."
"If he is also from Zhao Chen and deliberately places himself beside His Highness the Crown Prince, then we will be in danger at any time." Kong Yingda said.
Even if it cannot change the fact that Changsun Wuji stole his limelight in front of Li Tai, at least it cannot make Changsun Wuji live too comfortably.
Li Tai frowned.
He had doubts about the reason why Changsun Wuji suddenly agreed to his invitation.
But now Li Tai urgently needs someone who can speak for him and speak with weight.
Originally Li Tai thought Kong Yingda could do it, but since Kong Yingda has been disgraced in front of Zhao Chen several times.
Now Kong Yingda has already fallen from the altar in front of hundreds of officials and people all over the world.
Part of the reason for attracting Changsun Wuji to his side was that he had no choice.
"I understand." Li Tai looked at Kong Yingda and said calmly.
…
Zhao Chen, Li Ruoshuang, Niu Jinda and dozens of soldiers carried Qin Qiong's coffin for ten days.
Because I was traveling during the day and rested at night.
In addition, the delivery speed of coffins and coffins is not very fast, so in ten days, it is not a lot of travel.
On this day, everyone came to the border of Xingzhou.
Xingzhou was originally the fiefdom of Liu Zhenghui. In the ninth year of Zhenguan, the emperor named him Duke of Xing.
But when everyone came to Xingzhou, they saw that the city was full of plains and the people on the streets had sad faces.
"What's going on?" Niu Jinda looked around at the people on the street strangely.
If this hadn't been a big deal, the whole city would never have been covered with silk veneers, and the people wouldn't be like this.
Niu Jinda immediately thought that something had happened to the emperor in Cangzhou City and the news had reached here.
That's why there is such a scene.
But thinking about it, it was unlikely that Zhao Chen would personally treat the emperor and nothing would happen again.
Moreover, they did not see any fast horses coming from Cangzhou to deliver a message all the way back from Cangzhou City.
"Something happened to Liu Shangshu!" Zhao Chen looked around and said to Niu Jinda.
"Something happened to Liu Zhenghui?"
"How do you know?" Niu Jinda's expression changed.
Niu Jinda and Liu Zhenghui were not friends, but they were old acquaintances.
They all followed the emperor and walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How could a war and revenge be gone?
First, Qin Qiong died in battle, and now Liu Zhenghui died inexplicably.
"Liu Shangshu refused to cut the money and food for the frontline soldiers, so Li Tai gave him a foot of white silk to prevent the army from retreating, and he hanged himself from the beam of his house." Zhao Chen said.
This is the news Zhao Chen received. He doesn't know the specific situation.
But in Xingzhou City, the whole city is plain, which must be related to Liu Zhenghui.
Niu Jinda looked at Zhao Chen, he knew that Zhao Chen still had contact with Chang'an.
Then what Zhao Chen said is definitely not false.
Thinking that veteran ministers like Liu Zhenghui were forced to death by Li Tai, Niu Jinda's mind was filled with anger.
"Find a place to stay. People sent by Li Tai will be here soon."
"We are carrying coffins. Our target is too big. We will stay in the city for a few days and look for an opportunity to take down the leader." Zhao Chen and Niu Jinda said.
Niu Jinda nodded. Although there were fifty of them, they seemed to be a good fighting force.
But in front of the army, these people can only be dealt with by raising their hands.
If you walk outside with a coffin, you will easily be surrounded.
But now that I live in Xingzhou City, it is easier to find opportunities.
Everyone lives in scattered places in Xingzhou City. After all, there are too many people and it is easy to attract attention.
Li Ruoshuang went to book an inn.
The shopkeeper originally didn't want a coffin to enter the inn, saying it would affect the feng shui of the inn.
But under the temptation of the golden leaf, he still welcomed a few people in with a flattering look.
The innkeeper brought meals to Zhao Chen and others to the window on the second floor.
Niu Jinda glanced at the people on the street, then turned back to Zhao Chen and asked, "Zhao Chen, did you already know that Liu Zheng would be in trouble?"
"So you deliberately delayed time along the way and prepared to kill the people who surrounded and suppressed us in the town of Xingzhou?"
Niu Jinda was very surprised.
There is nothing such a coincidence in this world.
As soon as they arrived in Xingzhou, the army encircling and suppressing them was about to arrive here?
Niu Jinda felt that Zhao Chen was deliberately waiting for the arrival of those people in Xingzhou.
"There was no delay on the way, everything was just a coincidence." Zhao Chen said casually and handed the bowl to Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang filled him with rice and heard Zhao Chen say: "I received the news of Liu Shangshu's death three days ago, and I suddenly thought that we would pass through Xingzhou."
"The people of Xingzhou will definitely mourn the death of Liu Shangshu. It is a time when people in the city are more mixed, which is an opportunity for us."
"Then what are you going to do?" Niu Jinda asked hurriedly.
If Li Tai sends people, it will definitely be an army. With people like them, there is absolutely no way they can be opponents.
If you want to save your life, or even turn against customers, you must make preparations in advance.
Niu Jinda wanted to know what Zhao Chen would do next.
"People haven't arrived yet, don't be in a hurry." Zhao Chen replied with a smile.
…
There is a post station half a day's walk away from Xingzhou. General Youwuwei led nearly a thousand Youwuwei soldiers to rest here.
The cold wind always makes people feel cold.
But nearly a thousand people were sitting on the roadside to rest. Not to mention the sound of talking, even after being blown by the cold wind, there was no movement.
These people sit on the roadside like sculptures.
The common people passing by on the road didn't even have the courage to look at them.
"General, we can enter Xingzhou City in another hour, should we enter the city directly now?" asked the general and the Youwuwei general.
The weather is getting colder and colder now.
It's even more difficult to be out in the wild at night. In front of you is Xingzhou City. Once you enter the city, you can have a good meal and have a good night's sleep.
"No." General Youwuwei glanced at the general and only uttered two words.?
