Chapter 623: The Brave Chief Helmsman of the Thirty States
The drastic changes in Cangzhou have not been covered up.
Sitting in the hall, Su Waner frowned. She couldn't understand that the dynasty was in such a bad state, and there were so many lunatics who were willing to go to the national disaster together.
"Draft an edict and say that the Golden Sword Guard Chen Lu coerced Your Majesty into plotting rebellion. He deserves to be punished for his crime. The world is very lucky."
The eunuch was ordered to hurry up and take the order.
Su Waner breathed out and did not look at the reactions of the civil and military officials. Everyone standing here was hers. Before, she thought Chen Lu was the same.
But he never thought that this old madman would actually have such a choice.
"Ah Qi, he's kicking me."
Regardless of being in the palace, Su Waner rubbed her belly and laughed softly.
"The Queen, something bad has happened..." At this time, a commander of the iron guards hurriedly walked into the palace.
"What's wrong?"
The commander walked closer and said with a trembling voice, "Golden Sword Guard Chen Lu has hidden all the expectant women."
"He killed?"
"I don't know, but these people were still staying in Leng Palace. The people patrolling the sentry are all from Chen Lu."
Su Waner closed her eyes.
She knows that there are still many spies and spies in Cangzhou City. If this matter is not handled well, it is very likely that the great cause will turn into a wisp of smoke.
"Okay, okay. Chen Lu, the old madman went to his death and still retained such a skill."
"Another order is sent, and more manpower will be deployed to patrol the palace. All entry and exit matters will be placed under the control of Tieziying."
After just saying that, Su Waner raised her head and looked outside the hall. Two days later, the first rain in Huaiyue was still falling endlessly.
…
The news that could not be hidden was brought to Liangzhou City by the Ye Xiao Group.
"The Heavenly King Whip Chen Lu." Xu Mu looked a little confused. In his impression, this Heavenly King Whip was an extremely opportunistic person. He changed his master frequently and was ruthless and cunning.
It is precisely this kind of person who is willing to help Yuan An and make the final counterattack.
"Wenlong, what do you think?"
"I can't see clearly, what is the purpose of Chen Lu's move? Glory and wealth? This matter is not easy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape. My lord, I prefer to use the fickleness of human nature as a way to understand."
"This is a lunatic." Xu Mu sighed. If possible, he hoped that Chen Lu and Yuan An could make a bigger fuss. It would be best to simply kill the Demon Queen.
"Beside Empress Su, there is Kuai Jian Ah Qi. He is loyal and brave. It is very difficult to kill Empress Su with this person around. This time, Chen Lu made a mistake and was counterattacked by Demon Empress Su. All efforts were in vain.
.”
"Where is Yuan An?"
"The Night Owl Team can't find any information, but he should not be dead, after all, the dragon has not been born yet. On the surface, the Cangzhou royal family still needs a puppet to transition."
"My lord, I still say the same thing. What Queen Su is planning may be terrible. I, Xishu, have made preparations early."
Reminiscent of the people who crossed the river naked to seek money, at least tens of thousands of them took the opportunity to sneak into Cangzhou. Jia Zhou's analysis was not wrong, the Demon Queen was playing a big game of chess.
It was a pity that outside Liangzhou, the incident in Zhaowu County occurred again, which made him temporarily distracted and did not return to Shu immediately.
"Chao Yi's 5,000 men have joined forces with more than 3,000 Qiang cavalry and have begun to resist the Dalun Kingdom's troops outside Yumen Pass."
The Yudang tribe had previously beaten up the envoys of the Great Lun Kingdom. As a matter of course, a group of alien troops would come outside Yumen Pass to provoke and take revenge.
This is also the reason why Xu Mu sent Chao Yi. Of course, he felt relieved about Chao Yi.
At present, although Liangdi has been pacified, drastic changes have occurred in Cangzhou for a while. The road to looking up to the world is still long.
"If we had a guide when we went to the Western Regions, many problems would be easier to solve." Xu Mu said helplessly. What was urgent was that he had to resolve the affairs of the Western Regions and Zhaowu County.
Even if the Silk Road cannot be opened immediately, at least the passage must be sorted out before leaving Liangzhou. Again, it would be best if there are people who have been to the Western Regions.
As for the so-called Dalun Kingdom, it is not considered the Western Region at all. Travel to the real Western Region would take at least two or three months.
Jia Zhou, who was next to him, suddenly turned pale and said, "My lord, I remember that Captain Li Zhiqiu seemed to have been recuperating in the Western Regions?"
When Xu Mu listened, his expression became bright for a moment.
"Wen Long, you're not wrong. When he came out of Changyang, Captain Li was seriously injured and was chased by traitors, so he went to the Western Regions to recuperate."
The assassination attempt on the traitorous prime minister failed, and I heard that it was the young Marquis who sent him out of Changyang.
"Xiaoyao should know that Captain Li has passed away. However, Xiaoyao is still in the General Hall in Shuzhou... My lord, why don't you ask the Master of Shangguan Hall first? He happens to be supervising the delivery of food and grass for the rebel army and is still in Liangzhou."
"Very good."
…
In front of Liangzhou City, Shangguan Shu looked confused. He was already riding his horse and preparing to go back when he suddenly heard the news that the chief helmsman had summoned him.
"Dad, what kind of person is the chief helmsman?" Beside Shangguan Shu, a sword-bearing girl with a heroic face looked full of expectation and couldn't help but ask.
"He must be a great hero with unparalleled martial arts. Although he is also the king of Western Shu, he is extremely brave and dares to capture the enemy's chief among thousands of troops."
Shangguan Shu's mouth twitched, "Only the one from the inner city can do the kind of person you mentioned. Our chief helmsman's martial arts... aren't very good."
It's already a very euphemistic way of saying it. It's not very good. In fact, Mao doesn't know how to do it. Of course, this does not affect Shangguan Shu's worship of Xu Mu. It is this person who does not know martial arts who brings Xiaerduo
A new life.
"Yan'er, when you meet the chief helmsman, please don't be rude."
"Can I ask for some martial arts lessons?"
"The chief helmsman is afraid of hurting you... he won't take action."
The heroic girl showed a sly smile, and she had already made up her mind.
"Master Shangguan Hall, the helmsman is here."
Following the words of his confidant, Shangguan straightened his robe, raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked at the dozens of figures approaching on horseback.
The more than 300 knights who were in charge of food and grass all clasped their fists and shouted in just a moment.
"The mountains and rivers are foggy, don't wait for a while in white clothes with a sword on your back!"
"Meet the chief helmsman!"
Xu Mu, who was riding a horse, heard the sudden sound of worship. Most of these knights were loud drinkers and meat eaters. Suddenly, his body suddenly twitched.
"The mountains and rivers are covered in mist, don't wait in white clothes with a sword on your back! The master of Fangzhengtang, Shangguan Shu, pays homage to the chief helmsman!"
"You're welcome." Xu Mu smiled. It's a fantasy for a person who doesn't know martial arts to lead a group of martial arts masters.
But luckily, he did it.
"Shangguan Yan pays homage to the chief helmsman!"
"You're welcome—"
Following the sound, Xu Mu was about to turn his head when he saw a figure suddenly coming out with a sword.
"Eh?"
Xu Mu's face was startled, and he hurriedly pulled up the reins of General Feng. General Feng was a good and sensible horse. He immediately raised his legs, carried Xu Mu on his back, and ran wildly to the side. During the escape, General Feng, who was wily and scheming, also
A constant hissing warning sound.
In the blink of an eye, he ran two miles away.
The Shangguan girl, who was holding the unsheathed sword and wanted to test the skills of the chief helmsman, froze on the spot.
"He is the... chief rudder of thirty states in the world?"
Yin Liuxia, who was also about to draw his sword, probably understood and began to chase the horse back.
"Master, this is not an assassination attempt! Come back, Master, come back!"
