Qinse is in the imperial court, forgetting both favor and disgrace

From the station at that time to Jinling City, although it didn't take a day to get there quickly, the team of three to four hundred people can be called mighty, and there are cars and a coffin.

Li Lang insisted on riding a horse instead of riding a chariot.Since he had to pass through a small city on the way to Jinling King's Capital, Li Lang didn't want to disturb the common people, even the emperor's parade of banners and ceremonies were all avoided.

If it weren't for the guards of the imperial guard, from the dress of horses to the appearance of a knight, he has an extraordinary bearing. It seems that he is not an ordinary army, but an emperor, but his posture is almost the same as that of an ordinary school lieutenant.

Zhao Rang was in the riding of the imperial guards and was one of them.

The chief of the imperial guards, Wei Yixiao, was half a horse behind him on the left, no matter how fast or slow he was.The person on the right changes from time to time, Zhao Rang paid attention to it, and it changes about every hour.

It seems that even if he wanted to escape, it would not be easy, Zhao Rang laughed secretly in his heart, even now, he is still afraid of him escaping, the emperor has really learned from his caution.

On the first and second day, nothing happened. Except for Wei Yixiao, no one talked to Zhao Rang, including Emperor Li Lang.Naturally, this is to avoid complications and prevent people from breaking Zhao Rang's identity.

Originally, Li Lang thought about it, but he didn't think that Xie Lian had the courage to act rashly knowing that he was prepared. Once the two stalemate, even if Xie Kun could lead the northern garrison back to Jinling, kill the king and stand on his own, Xie's family The Nine Clans may have been wiped out.

It's just that the bright ones can't come, but the dark ones can't be guaranteed. It's not like there's no chance of assassination and plotting.

Li Lang ordered his confidant guards not to leave Zhao Rang's side, not to monitor him as Zhao Rang wanted, on the contrary, this caution was for fear that someone would harm him.

On the third day, it rained heavily at noon, the sky was as dark as night, the road was muddy, and the team moved slowly and difficult.

When he finally reached the nearest post house, the rain did not stop at Shenshi, so Li Lang ordered him to rest in the post house and wait for the rain to stop before setting off tomorrow.

There is no room for these hundreds of people in the post house. The emperor and the imperial guards are staying overnight, including Zhao Rang of course.

But this arrangement made him anxious and anxious—just now, when he was in a hurry to welcome the emperor, Captain Zhou, who had met him several times, took the opportunity to look at him and slammed it expressionlessly. Give him a small paper packet.

Zhao Rang was vigilant, and he opened the paper bag secretly when no one was paying attention. Who knew that it was okay not to look at it. After seeing what it was, he was almost heartbroken: it was what he found from Xie Wu and handed it to his wife and sister. Badge.

Now that this object has fallen into the hands of others, it is already known what happened without further words.

Unwrapping the leather wrapping the waist card for a closer look, there were indeed a few crooked and barely legible small characters on it: Sanchang Qingguan, don't come to be slaughtered as pigs, and feed the corpses to dogs.

The handwriting was as ugly as insects, and the sentences were vulgar, but the meaning was so clear that Zhao Rang was dizzy for a moment.

He calmly rewrapped the waist card, put it in his pocket, and raised his eyes to see the dense rain.

How is it good?

Since it was passed on by the school lieutenant that week, there must be other accomplices in the army.If it is rash to report this matter to the emperor, not to mention whether the emperor is willing to help a barbarian girl, there is no guarantee that the wife and sister will die.

But what is the difference between my current situation and being in prison?You can't move freely, how can you rush to Changqing Temple, where you can get something, in the middle of the night?

Zhao Rang is not a weak and incompetent person. Nanyue has survived several desperate situations because of his perseverance and resourcefulness, but he has never been in a dangerous situation like this time.

After thinking about it again and again, I can only adapt to the situation when the time comes. Even if I forcefully leave, I must find a way to inform the emperor, so as not to cause Longyan to be furious and implicate the innocent.

Although he made up his mind, his heart was still as heavy as a thousand weights. Fortunately, he was expressionless and taciturn during this journey, and no one noticed his strangeness.

Unexpectedly, when Haishi is approaching, the situation will change again.

Zhao Rang was arranged alone in a small wing room. There was someone on duty outside the room, but there was a window in the room, which opened facing the backyard.Although the rain had lightened a little, it was still pattering, and there was no one in the courtyard.

The backyard is not big, Zhao Rang thought, the side door must be guarded by soldiers, but it is not too difficult to climb over the wall to answer, even if it is the emperor's guest house, the inside and outside are heavily guarded.

After thinking about it, I felt lucky again. This place is not far from Jinling, and it has been raining for half a day, and it has not stopped until now. The soldiers must be both tired and happy to go home. lax.

Before he could take any action, the door suddenly opened, but leader Wei, who was as fat as a rich man, came in and told Zhao Rang kindly that the emperor invited him.

Zhao Rang was full of suspicion, but had no choice but to change his clothes, and went out with the leader Wei, along the corridor, to the hall in the post house dedicated to receiving distinguished guests.

The hall was brightly lit, and the cups were intertwined. Of course, the chief seat was the emperor Li Lang. At this moment, he had changed into a purple robe with a collar, gold dragons embroidered on his shoulders, and a black gauze scarf with corners on his head. People are in high spirits and full of romance.

Zhao Rangquan didn't recognize the person who was sitting next to him, and Li Lang had no intention of introducing him to the crowd, so he just waved to him and smiled, "Jingdu, come here."

Zhao Rang couldn't hesitate, walked slowly to Li Lang's seat, knelt down to salute, Li Lang still smiled and let him get down without courtesy, pointed to the right head closest to the throne, and said: "You sit there."

"Your Majesty, this...is not appropriate." Zhao Rang said softly without thanking her immediately.

He was still wearing the guard uniform of the imperial army at the moment, but even the accompanying guests didn't know his identity. How could the leader of the imperial army, Wei Touling, stand behind the emperor with a solemn face, so why should he, an unknown person, have a place?

Furthermore, Zhao Rang really didn't want to waste time here. If the emperor was in high spirits and the banquet lasted all night, how could he arrive at Changqing Temple at midnight?

Li Lang looked up with a smile on his face, and asked back: "What's inappropriate? Jing Du wants to disobey the holy will again?"

Zhao Rang had no choice but to sit quietly.

The banquet was full of laughter and laughter again, and the most during the banquet was flattery and exaggerated praises to Li Lang.

After the banquet opened for a while, the musicians played music, and the dancers came with songs, and the colorful clothes were flying, which was fascinating and refreshing.

But Zhao Rang was sitting on pins and needles, sweating profusely, he could barely squeeze out a smile at first, but when he realized that the singing and dancing seemed to be endless, he couldn't sit still. Knowing that this plan was extremely dangerous, he had to try it forcefully.

At that moment, he raised his glass again and again, and the servants around him didn't even have time to fill the glass, this action caught the attention of Li Lang, the leader, the emperor leaned down, smiled and asked him: "Jing Du, is there any beauty you like? "

Zhao Rang took the opportunity and slammed the wine bottle on the table. The sound was so loud that everyone around was stunned, and all the musicians and dancers stopped their movements.

"Celebrate the victory, Your Majesty, don't you think that the name is not good, and the words are not good?" Zhao Rang looked at Li Lang presumptuously, smiling contemptuously.

He only hoped to anger the emperor, disrupt the singing and laughing, and be reprimanded and punished. Only in this way can he try to escape again, otherwise how can he escape quietly under the eyes of everyone?

He thought about pretending to be drunk, but he was afraid that Li Lang might not pay attention, or simply let him get drunk and sleep soundly during the banquet. At that time, it was impossible to find another good way; Wanting to vomit is not easy for him, and the emperor will notice the clue if he is a little careless.

Only take a risk.

Li Lang waved his hand, signaling to everyone that there is no need to get excited and not get angry, and asked Zhao Rang with a smile: "What does Jing Du mean by this?"

Zhao Rang also smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, why bother to ask? You didn't spend a single soldier to capture South Vietnam. Could it be that Your Majesty is so talented and blessed by the Emperor?"

While speaking, Zhao Rang drank the wine in the glass again, his mouthpiece was hot, but his heart was sad: After this incident, the emperor must have believed that he still had a heart of disobedience and rebellious nature, but he was unable to argue.

Sure enough, a trace of annoyance flashed in Li Lang's eyes, but it was regrettable that Zhao Rang was not as expected. He scolded him angrily and drove him away from the banquet. As for the soldiers who subdue others, those who are good are the ones who are good", and "those who use soldiers well, the soldiers who subdue others are not fighting". But His Royal Highness the King of Nanyue obviously does not think so. Since the blood on the blade shows the true qualities of a warrior, I still ask His Royal Highness the King of Nanyue, I am going to fight hand-to-hand with me, how would you respect me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the seat was shocked to the point of dumbfounded.

Zhao Rang was even more stunned. Li Lang's response was far beyond his expectations. This behavior was more in line with a young and energetic prince who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, and had no self-knowledge. A young emperor whose brother imprisoned his father and seized the throne.

However, Li Lang got up from his seat, yelled loudly, ordered people to offer a long sword, and ordered Zhao Rang to offer a big sword. No, Mo Ruo will go to the courtyard to compete with each other, many years ago, I don't know if Jing Du's skill is still as strong as before?"

This is the first time since the reunion, the emperor confessed in front of him that the past is lingering and has not changed.Zhao Rang suppressed the surging heart, threw the knife to the ground, shook his head and said: "The guilty minister is already a defeated general, why do you need to humiliate yourself?"

Li Lang stepped down from the upper seat, picked up the blade with the long sword, and threw it back to Zhao Rang's hand, the corners of his lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes: "This is not up to you, Zhao Rang. If you don't want to fight with me , this little beauty is about to die in Huangquan - don't you really forget your ancestors so much that you don't even recognize your own flesh and blood relatives?"

The light of the sword was like lightning, and the point of the sword pointed directly at the throat of a young dancer in the arena. The girl was no older than Zhao Rang's wife and sister. Rang to Zhao.

Zhao Rang was at a loss at first, but after a few more glances, he was stunned and tongue-tied on the spot like a thunderbolt.

He really can't remember seeing this girl before, but her eyebrows, her eyes, her small and exquisite nose and her cute and plump cherry mouth, without careful observation, she is six or seven points similar to him!

Seeing his confused face, Li Lang simply withdrew his sword, looked straight at Zhao Rang, and said with a light smile, "Don't you know who she is? That's right, she was still a baby when you went to Minyue with your father. You betrayed me." When Dong Chu established herself as king, she was only a toddler, but because of you, she became a lowly citizen. Brother and sister."
