Projection Upgrade Tour

Chapter 127 Recourse
King Tai, also known as Cheng Ming, was the second son of the late emperor, and Cheng Zheng's second brother.

When the first emperor was still alive, Cheng Ming was only the second prince.

However, isn't this Cheng Zheng already enthroned?

After Cheng Zheng ascended the throne, according to the usual practice, the princes of the previous emperors also had the canonization, and then let him leave Shengjing.

At this point, Cheng Zheng's operation seems to be more like that.

In order to show his generosity, he named his two older brothers as kings, the eldest brother was crowned King of Liao, and the second brother Cheng Ming was crowned King of Thailand.

Of course, this is just the Lord of Light Board.

As for all the treatment that the prince should have, such as fiefs, rewards and other things, except for a few, there are none.

That's a nice name.

From this point of view, Cheng Zheng is still relatively stubborn in nature.

He gave some nominal things generously, but substantive things were so stingy that people around him couldn't help but complain.

As the object of Cheng Zheng's competition for the crown prince before, even if the two were crowned kings, they would not end well. They were usually trapped in their own mansion and guarded by many people.

The guard said unceremoniously that it was even stricter than the Heavenly Prison in Shengjing.

Unless there is an Astral Qi, it is unimaginable for ordinary people to get out of it.

For the two Guangban princes who failed to seize the throne, this kind of treatment was already enough, and there would be no problem in thinking about it.

In the end, I didn't expect that, even so, people still ran out.

Cheng Zheng's wine immediately sobered up, and he had many thoughts in the middle of the trouble.

He thought of many things.

Who is helping the King of Thailand out of trouble?

There is no doubt that someone will help, otherwise, just relying on a completely lost Thai king, what is the ability to run out under Cheng Zheng's eyelids?
What is the purpose of the other party to help the Thai king out of trouble?
It is impossible for ordinary people to be able to rescue people quietly.

Then what was the purpose of them taking the King of Thailand away?
With all kinds of thoughts entangled in his heart, Cheng Zheng couldn't help frowning.

"Forget about Liu Guogong."

Faced with this situation, Cheng Zheng subconsciously wanted to call Liu Chu, but stopped halfway through the call.

Liu Chu was taken down to rest early, and now he is probably more drunk than he is, and he can still do things.

"Call Chen Guogong over for me."

Turning around in his head, he finally thought for a moment before speaking.

The people below nodded and said yes, and quickly turned around.

Then just for a moment, Chen An's figure appeared in front of Cheng.

Efficiency can be described as leverage.

Looking at Chen An, who was still tall and straight in front of him, with a calm demeanor and didn't look drunk at all, Cheng Zheng felt a little emotional.

Sure enough, at a critical time, Chen An in front of him was more reliable.

Drinking is really wrong!

Fortunately, Chen An didn't know this, otherwise he would have complained in his heart.

It's you who made the drinking, and you who said that drinking was a mistake, is there any end to it?
Of course, he definitely didn't know this in his heart, so his face was still very calm, and he just bowed slightly after seeing Cheng Zheng: "Your Majesty, what is the order?"

"Chang'an, something happened to King Tai."

The people present were all of his own, and Cheng Zheng didn't hesitate at all, he said directly: "You immediately lead someone to block the city gate and bring back King Tai."

"If anyone dares to block, they will be killed immediately!"

There was a murderous aura in the light words, and it seemed that he really had murderous intent.

Chen An paused for a while, then nodded slowly: "The minister follows the order."

It is late at night now.

The gates in Shengjing have long since closed.

There are curfews everywhere.

In the past, Shengjing should be very quiet everywhere, except for a few places, there are basically no people.

In the era of no nightlife, the city at night is basically the same.

But tonight, everywhere seemed so unusual.

"Fight the fire! Fight the fire!"

"Help!"

Within Shengjing, several neighborhoods were on fire at the same time, and people calling for help were everywhere.

The problem is huge.

Most of the houses in Shengjing are made of wood, which is easy to catch fire. However, some areas where civilians live are often crowded in order to save space.

Usually it's okay to say, but at this moment, once the fire is on, there is a big problem.

At this moment, the guards in the city have already gone to put out the fire.

If there is no accident, even if the fire is saved, it is estimated that many people will die.

slam
The icy cold air permeated the four directions, swallowing everything like an invisible dragon.

Pieces of water were sprayed directly into the air, and then a frightening scene appeared out of thin air.

Chen An walked between the burning houses on foot.

The pressing heat from all over the place was surging towards him, but it didn't seem to have the slightest effect, and it couldn't stop Chen An's progress at all.

He just walked forward.

Walking along the road, crystals spread on the ground automatically, frost covered everything, and the fire was blocked abruptly.

People everywhere stared blankly, not knowing what to say.

There are also some knowledgeable people, looking at Chen An's figure with complicated expressions.

Fires are not uncommon, they happen every few years, and they happen often.

But it is really rare for a gangster to act as a firefighter with his own hands.

Maybe this Shengjing has never been seen before.

Blessed are these people.

No return, but the effect is really good.

A Zun Qi personally acted as a consumer, and the fire everywhere was quickly contained.

Although there are still large areas that have not been extinguished, those that remain after the most dangerous and terrifying places are under control are naturally nothing to be afraid of.

Chen An walked in this area, his eyes around him.

boom!
A figure appeared in front of him in an instant, and was quickly shot and flew out by Chen An, directly severely injured.

"Sure enough, someone is deliberately fighting fire."

Looking at the person who appeared at his feet, Chen An couldn't help frowning.

This fire came by too much coincidence, it happened at the juncture where the Thai king disappeared, and it was a bit abnormal no matter how you looked at it.

Judging from the current situation, most of this was done deliberately, in order to distract attention and mobilize the guards in Shengjing to create opportunities.

It is not a trivial matter for this idea to catch fire, and a bad loss will be particularly heavy.

Once it happens, the entire Shengjing guards must be mobilized.

"Take the person down and interrogate him well."

After walking around, looking at the man at his feet, Chen An said lightly.

Soon someone stepped forward and took this person down.

In the time that followed, news from all over the place came together.

"Sir, the three gates to the north are all normal!"

"The two gates to the west are fine!"

"The gate to the east is still safe!"

"What about the south side?"

Chen An surrounded the surroundings with a grim expression: "If I remember correctly, there are also three gates there."

"This"

The people below looked at each other in dismay. After a while, one person came out bravely and said, "Sir, the gates in the south are too far apart. The people who sent them to investigate are still not coming back."

This is the truth.

As the capital of Dahua, Shengjing occupies a large area.

In order to facilitate entry and exit, there are naturally a large number of city gates set up everywhere, and it is not so easy to find out in a short time.

It is very reasonable that no one will come back for a while.

But it is reasonable and reasonable, but somewhat out of place.

After all, the soldiers are very fast, and when those who have been investigating in the past come back, maybe that group of people will have already run out.

"Did the embassy check it?"

Chen An continued to ask: "Are the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty still there?"

"The lights are on in the embassy, ​​and the sound of reading books is heard from time to time. I think they are all inside."

Someone responded.

"The sound of reading?"

Chen An suddenly frowned, then raised his head suddenly: "Go, go to the south gate!"

He didn't say a word, and took the people away, leaving the others to look at each other and look at each other.

Of course, among the crowd, there were still a few people whose faces changed slightly, looking at the figure of Chen An leaving, their faces were full of disbelief.

The night was dark, and the moonlight outside was shining, like a silver dress on the earth.

Outside the official road, a carriage was driving on the road with several people sitting among them.

Cheng Ming was dressed in plain clothes, and his face looked a little tired. Compared with the past, he also looked a little thinner now, and he also looked a lot of tempering.

It seems that in the past half year, he has not suffered less.

This is very natural. After all, he is Cheng Zheng's political enemy in the past. He has offended the present emperor. What good fruit do you want to eat?
It's good to be alive.

So even if he was dressed in plain clothes, but he was able to take it out from Shengjing, Cheng Ming's face looked pretty good, with a smile on his face, looking at the old man in front of him: "Gu can leave Shengjing this time, thanks to Liu old man."

"The King of Thailand is polite."

Sitting opposite Cheng Ming is none other than Liu Sheng.

Looking at Cheng Ming in front of him, he also had a smile on his face: "Your Majesty and I are very saddened by such a change in His Royal Highness. Your country is in power at the moment, but the moment you ascend to the throne, the court and the public are full of complaints."

"At this critical moment, it is exactly the need for a wise king like you, His Royal Highness, to stand up and serve the country."

"Otherwise, Dahua's hundreds of years of foundation, I am afraid that it will be destroyed in the hands of Yongjun."

"You're welcome, sir."

Cheng Ming shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Is there any kind of virtuous king, Mr. Liu, I am afraid that sooner or later, I would have been trapped in Shengjing."

"But as you said, sir, now that Yongjun is in power, the people are complaining, and they are planning for the world, so the only way is to comply with people's hearts."

He sighed deeply, and it really looked like that.

I don't know how much he loves the people.

If Cheng Zheng was here, he would probably have a good talk with him now.

But Liu Sheng obviously would not argue with Cheng Ming.

He just nods in agreement.

"That's right, the world is in chaos, and it's time for a wise king like His Royal Highness to be born."

He cupped his hands and said seriously: "The old man and even the entire Song Dynasty are willing to help His Highness."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu."

Cheng Ming also smiled and assured: "If the widow can seize the world, trace the origin and become the king, in the future, it will be repaired with the Song Dynasty from generation to generation, so as to form a marriage between the two countries."

"Hahaha, that could not be better."

For a while, one of the two dared to speak, and the other supported, and the atmosphere in the carriage became extremely warm for a while.

Among the two, Cheng Ming seemed to be in a good mood.

After being trapped in the mansion for a long time, once he got out of the trap, he suddenly felt a sense of being trapped in a dragon and breaking out of his locks. He was very happy and wanted to do something great.

As for Liu Chu on the side, he is not so optimistic.

"The fire just now should be able to delay it for a while, I hope no one will come after it."

Liu Sheng looked around and began to urge the driver in front of him to hurry.

"Mr. Liu, you have filtered it."

Cheng Ming couldn't help but smile: "With the people you brought with you, sir, let's not say whether they can catch up. Even if they can, what can they do?"

"With Duke Yang here, even if someone dares to catch up, it's just a trivial matter."

Cheng Ming said with a smile.

He is the prince of Dahua. He has been in the Dahua Dynasty for so many years. Do you still understand the situation of the whole Dahua?

In the entire Dahua, there are indeed many powerful warriors, and there are not a few Gang Qi.

But the problem is that although these people are from the Dahua court, it is not so easy to mobilize them.

Some gangsters who were canonized as princes like Chen Guogong in the previous generation basically closed in their own mansions at ordinary times, and would not stay in Shengjing for a long time.

If you want to mobilize, you must order the emperor in person, and then send the will to it, it is too late.

The Astral Qi in the clan naturally has it, but it basically has its own purpose.

One guards the mausoleum of the Great Ancestor Dahua, and he must not be taken lightly. The other guards the ancestral temple and also retreats all year round.

There is another in the north, helping to defend against the northern state of Lu.

There are only two clan worshipers who really stay in Shengjing, and they also need to guard the inner court, which is also easy to not appear.

To put it badly, Cheng Zheng has just ascended the throne, and in such a short time, he may not be able to mobilize the two clans, let alone others.

After all, in this world, Gang Qi is a top-level talent, and it can be called a weapon to control the country. Even a dignified emperor cannot be easily driven.

So Cheng Zheng seemed very relaxed and felt that most of the time no one could catch up.

But Liu Sheng is obviously not as relaxed as Cheng Zheng's heart.

"The other people around Dahua Emperor are nothing, except for the commander of the guards beside him, the new hero Chen Guogong is very troublesome."

Liu Sheng sighed and said.

"The new Duke Chen, Chen Changan?"

Cheng Ming immediately frowned.

He was locked in the mansion for more than half a year, and he was somewhat sluggish about the news from the outside world. Although he knew that Chen An had become the new Chen Guogong, he was still a little unclear about what happened.

In the final analysis, this is what has been detained for a long time, and has been somewhat out of touch with society.

"Speaking of which, His Royal Highness seems to have recruited that Chen Guogong. I wonder if you can know the news of that Chen Guogong?"

Liu Sheng said suddenly.

He is very concerned about Chen An's news.

After all, this is such a young Gang Qi, whether it is from the enemy or other perspectives, it is necessary to understand as much as possible.

Of course, if possible, he also wanted to try to win over one or two to see if he could pull Chen Guogong from Dahua and let him join the Song Dynasty.

No matter how low the odds of this happening, it should always be tried.

What if it happened?

However, Cheng Ming disappointed Liu Sheng.

Regarding Liu Sheng's question, he had both hands on the beach, and his eyes were blank.

Can he know any news about Chen An?
His impression of Chen An was still the flatterer of the past.

On the one hand, he was locked in the mansion and could not receive news. On the other hand, Chen An himself kept a low profile at all times and did not disclose his own information at all.

The camouflage is really good.

In this case, what specific news can Cheng Ming be expected to know?
To put it badly, what he knows, I am afraid that Liu Shengduo is not in front of him.

At least they are serious officials of the Song Dynasty, and I don't know how much news I have read about Chen An.

"Is that Chen Guogong important?"

Seeing Liu Sheng's repeated inquiries, Cheng Ming was a little puzzled.

"nature."

Liu Sheng nodded and was about to explain: "That Chen Guogong"

boom!
There was a crisp sound outside, accompanied by the sound of horses neighing.

The carriage stopped abruptly.

Liu Sheng frowned suddenly: "What's going on?"

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately got out of the carriage.

Then, he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that in the front, on the long and narrow official road, there was an extra person.

More importantly, Liu Sheng is no stranger to this person, and he was even talking about it just now.

"Chen Guogong!"

There were bursts of exclamations everywhere.

Several figures on horseback walking beside the carriage exclaimed.

"Looks like old acquaintances are here."

Ahead, Chen An's voice came over, and at this moment, his face couldn't help showing a look of surprise.

Good guy.

In front of him, Zhao Jun, Qin Wan, all of Song Guotianjiao, who had discussed with him before, were all there.

Looking more closely, Liu Sheng also got out of the carriage and stood in front of Chen An.

"Lord Liu, what are you doing?"

Looking at Liu Sheng walking out of the carriage, Chen An said lightly, "But I, Dahua, were not well entertained, so that you have to rush back to Song country overnight without even saying hello?"

"Your country's hospitality is rich, but we have important things to do, so we can only be rude."

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It's Chen Guogong, how did you find us?"

"I think my hands and feet are very clean. Even if someone should catch up, it won't be so fast, but Chen Guogong still found it."

Yes, hands and feet are clean.

In order to successfully bring Cheng Ming out of Shengjing, he asked people to prevent fire in Shengjing and divert their attention. He also asked people to do tricks on a few city gates in the south, so that people who would investigate in the future were all retained, making it impossible for people to judge them. Which city gate did you leave from?

Even if someone suspected them and went to the embassy where they lived, they could only find those who left behind disguise.

In the middle few links, if you hesitate and delay for a while, you will never catch up with them.

But even so, he was still able to catch up, but Liu Sheng was really puzzled.

"it's actually really easy."

Facing Liu Sheng's doubts, Chen An said lightly, "I guess."
