Pan Weixing actually picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "It took many years to carefully lay out. The patience of the old lady is really admirable to me."
"She Yue is a princess of the Tang Dynasty. Except for a tour to the south of the Yangtze River with the late emperor more than ten years ago, she has never left Kyoto alone since then. Except for the inner treasury, she cannot be touched by big things." Qian Guanghan sighed:
"If we want her to come to Jiangnan, how can we do it without putting in some effort?"
"What good does it do you to murder the princess?" Pan Weixing sneered: "You claim to be helping the Tang Dynasty. Even though the saint is not a member of the Li family, the princess's surname is Li."
As soon as Pan Wei finished speaking, Qian Guanghan immediately said: "Yes, if her surname was not Li, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort."
After all, Pan Weixing was not an old fool. His body was shaken and he understood instantly: "You...you want...to rebel under the banner of the princess?"
"Although the Queen Mother Association is dedicated to eradicating the evil foxes and helping the Tang Dynasty, the so-called illegitimate name is not justified. In the eyes of many people, our Queen Mother Association is just a group of evil heretics." Qian Guanghan said with a smile: "To make the Queen Mother Association have a legitimate name,
There must be a banner that can be used. That Li Tuo of Xiling claims to be the late emperor's prince, whether it is true or false, at least his identity cannot convince the world. Since we want to raise the banner of the Tang Dynasty, we should support the true banner of the Tang Dynasty.
The Li family."
Pan Weixing felt a chill running down his spine.
Only then did he finally understand that this group of people had carefully planned and spent several years to achieve something so sinister.
Wei Tairan had been standing by the side, and finally smiled and said: "Compared to Li Tuo's prince who doesn't know whether he is real or fake, She Yue is the real bloodline of the former emperor. As long as She Yue is in our hands, the Queen Mother will raise her troops.
, there must be countless followers, and when the time comes we support the late emperor’s bloodline to eradicate the demon fox, it will naturally be justified and the world will return to its heart.”
"Princess...there is no way the princess will agree to you!"
"Not necessarily." Qian Guanghan said with a smile: "The demon fox ascended the throne and bloodbathed the Li royal family. In the eyes of the demon fox clan, the Li family was a thorn in the side and had to be removed. But in She Yue's eyes, those are her relatives. Although the demon fox is
Her mother is also an enemy of the Li royal family, and the Xiahou clan has a deep blood feud with the Li royal family. When we raise troops to eradicate the demon fox, we are also avenging her relatives. Doesn’t she want to pay back the blood debt for her relatives? If she
She is willing to help us eradicate the demon fox and capture Kyoto. As a bloodline of the late emperor, of course she can ascend the throne as emperor. Master Pan, who in the world does not want to be the emperor?"
Liang Jiangyuan sneered and said: "She has the final say whether to agree or not. She is in our hands, so she has to obey the Queen Mother Hui's orders." He stared at Pan Weixing and said, "You don't have to be lucky to think that she can really leave Suzhou.
It’s okay if she doesn’t leave the city, as long as she does, someone will be waiting for her.”
"Are you talking about Liu Hongju?"
"That's right." Liang Jiangyuan said with a smile: "The soldiers and horses led by Commander Liu have already arrived outside the city. She Yue took a carriage out of the city. Our people followed us and sent people on horseback to report to Commander Liu. She Yue wanted to leave Suzhou only by land and water.
Road, Commander Liu will send people to block these two roads, and it will be difficult for the musk moon to fly even with its wings."
Qian Guanghan sighed: "Master Governor, after saying so much, I just hope that you can work with us to achieve great things. You are a wise man, and you should know how to decide where to go."
"What is your status in the Queen Mother Association?" Pan Weixing asked, "Are you General Kuhai?"
Qian Guanghan stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "If you are willing to join the Queen Mother Association, you will naturally know my identity."
"Then I would like to know, as members of the Queen Mother Association, why did you ask Qiao Shenggong to confess to Taixuan Temple?" Pan Weixing showed suspicion: "You should know that Qiao Shenggong confessed to Taixuan Temple, whether it is true or false, I will
Send people to arrest you. You want to frame Linghu Xuan, but Qiao Shenggong falsely accuses Linghu Xuan. I can understand it, but why did you go to such unnecessary lengths to expose Taixuanguan? If it weren't for Qiao Shenggong's confession, we wouldn't even know about Taixuanguan.
They are also a gangster."
Qian Guanghan just smiled faintly and said: "Master Pan asked too many questions. You haven't joined the Queen Mother Association yet, so there are some things that are not convenient for me to tell you." He stared at Pan Weixing and said: "So please invite Pan now.
Sir, give me an answer. Should you continue to be loyal to the demon fox, or join us in the uprising? She Yue will be brought back soon. If Sir Pan is willing to join the Queen Mother Association, then it will be up to you to convince She Yue, and we will
Give you a great opportunity to make a great contribution."
Pan Weixing smiled lightly and said, "Then let's see if you can really bring the princess back."
Chen Xi has already left the city.
There were originally twelve masters escorting She Yue to the south of the Yangtze River this time. However, before entering the city, in order not to be noticed, the princess only brought four guards into the Governor's Mansion. Two of them were the Lu brothers whom Qin Xiao had met.
, these two brothers are a pair of twins. They always wore masks to guard outside the princess's house in the Governor's Mansion, but at this moment they also took off their masks and put on ordinary coarse clothes.
After Chen Xi and the four guards around the princess escorted the carriage from the Governor's Mansion, they exited the west gate of Suzhou City as quickly as possible, and then headed directly towards the Suzhou Pier.
The group's clothing was very ordinary. People dressed like this walked back and forth between Suzhou Shipyard and Suzhou City every day.
Chen Xi rode in front with a stern expression and never looked back. Less than twenty miles out of the city, he saw a group of soldiers and horses in front of him, hundreds of them. There were hundreds of swordsmen in front and hundreds of cavalry behind. He estimated that
There were four to five hundred people.
Chen Xi reined in his horse and swept past the officers and soldiers blocking him with his eyes like knives.
Of course he could tell at a glance that these officers and soldiers were soldiers and horses of the Suzhou camp.
Hearing a horse's neigh, a horse galloped out from the crowd, a suit of armor, glowing with a cold light under the sun.
"Young Master, where are you going in such a hurry?" The man smiled and said, "Liu has been waiting here for a long time."
"General Liu, when you lead the troops to leave the camp, do you have Ma Changshi's order?" Chen Xi looked calmly: "The Tang Dynasty has laws. Unless there are special circumstances, more than a thousand soldiers and horses need to be mobilized by the Ministry of War. Even if there is an emergency, thousands of troops must be mobilized.
To dismount soldiers and horses, you also need the local chief's order. If you leave the camp with hundreds of officers and soldiers without the horse's chief's order, you are committing treason and should be executed according to the law."
The general who commanded the troops was naturally Liu Hongju, the commander of the Suzhou Battalion.
Liu Hongju smiled and said: "I don't have the warrant with me. The Young Supervisor wants to see it. Follow me back to the city. I'll ask Ma Changshi to tell you in person."
"I have something important to do. When I come back, I will ask Ma Changshi for advice." Chen Xi raised his hand and said, "Let your people get out of the way!"
Liu Hongju laughed and said: "Young Master, I'm afraid you will never come back once you leave. Young Supervisor, if you want to leave, I will never stop you, but...!" He raised his hand and pointed at the carriage.
He said in a deep voice: "This car must be kept."
Chen Xi's face turned cold and he said, "Do you know who is in the car?"
"No matter who it is, this carriage must return to the city."
"Liu Hongju, you are so brave. Whose order did you take?"
Liu Hongju smiled and said: "Young Master wants to know whose order I am from, just come back to the city with me and you will find out." With a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him immediately pulled away to both sides, and then spread out like two wings,
The sound of horse hoofbeats, in just a moment, had already surrounded Chen Xi and his party.
Chen Xi smiled disdainfully and said: "Commander Liu is such a big battle. He mobilized hundreds of people just for one carriage."
"The matter is so important that I have to be careful." Liu Hongju said proudly: "If I can't take the carriage back, I will take my head back."
"I've known for a long time that you had ulterior motives." Chen Xi sneered, "I knew something was fishy the night Dong Yuan was killed."
Liu Hongju said with a smile: "It's really not easy to hide from the people in the Purple Clothes Prison. In order to win your trust, I even had someone stab me on the shoulder, but in the end I still couldn't dispel your suspicions."
"Actually, I really want to know how you planned the assassination that night." Chen Xi was very patient. Although he was surrounded, he remained calm.
Liu Hongju sighed: "Young Master Chen, no matter how much you delay, you will not wait for any reinforcements."
"You are overthinking. I just want to know if the Dong family's butler is one of yours?" Chen Xi said slowly: "Is the assassin's body in the secret room under the rockery a real assassin, or is it just someone you randomly found to replace it?
"
Liu Hongju touched his thick beard like a steel needle and said: "Since Young Supervisor Chen is interested, I won't hide it from you. The assassin's body is of course fake. Dong Yuan knows something he shouldn't know, so he deserves to die, but even if he
Death must also have a starting point. The two letters in the secret room were put in by Cao Xiu, the steward of the Dong family. The corpse inside was also arranged by Cao Xiu early in the morning. Dong Yuan and I entered the secret room. Dong Yuan saw the corpse.
He was so frightened that he wanted to call someone, but I cut him with one knife."
"Gao Ming." Chen Xi said lightly: "Commander Liu, I don't understand. You are the commander of the Suzhou Battalion, and you are paid by the imperial court. You should be loyal to the imperial court, but why do you want to take this path? With your ability,
It will not be difficult to get promoted in the future, and it will be easy to honor your ancestors, so why should you jeopardize your future?"
"Because I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty, not the demon fox." Liu Hongju sneered.
Chen Xi did not argue. He glanced at the surrounding cavalry and said, "If Suzhou Camp can follow you in rebellion, of course these people are your direct descendants. In fact, you have long been interested in rebellion. You have been doing tricks in Suzhou Camp in the past few years.
It is indeed a good idea for Commander Liu to make the Suzhou Battalion, which is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, your personal army."
Liu Hongju frowned and said, "Young Master Chen, you are not a talkative person. Why are you talking so much today? Who are you waiting for?"
"You are not waiting for anyone. You are right. Suzhou belongs to you. Even if I wait for ten days and a half, I still won't be able to wait for reinforcements." Chen Xi sighed: "But I really don't understand why you want to stop this person."
A car? Is this car that important to you?"
Liu Hongju held down the hilt of his saber and said in a deep voice: "Young Supervisor Chen, will you come back with me?"
"Didn't Commander Liu say that we only need to bring the carriage back?" Chen Xi said: "We can leave on our own after handing over the carriage. Is that true?"
"That's right, the carriage will stay. If you want to leave, I will not stop you." Liu Hongju stared at the carriage.
Chen Xi lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am a person who knows the current affairs. Even if we can fight one against a hundred, we may not be able to save this carriage. Instead, we will die in vain. I am a person who cherishes my life, so I can give the carriage to
You, you can take the car back, but please ask your men to move out of the way and let us leave."
Liu Hongju was startled, but he said in surprise: "You want to hand over the carriage?"
"Did Commander Liu change his mind?"
Liu Hongju frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, I'll let you go."
Chen Xi said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
"Master Chen, are you really going to hand over the carriage to them?" a guard beside the carriage asked urgently.
Chen Xi shook the horse's reins, ignored it, and urged the horse. The four guards looked at each other, and finally urged the horse to follow Chen Xi. Liu Hongju's cavalry moved out of the way. Chen Xi did not look back and led the horse.
He flew away on horseback with four guards.
Liu Hongju then shook the horse's reins, walked slowly to the carriage, stared at the carriage, and said calmly: "Your Highness, come with us back to the city, someone is waiting for you in the city!"
