ancient criminal minds

Rong Zhen and his party have gradually approached Yanjing, but the closer they got to Yanjing, the more disturbed Rong Zhen felt, as if something bad was about to happen.

At this moment, he saw that Lu Zheng's face was pale. It was obvious that the previous injury was not healed and he was forcefully torn apart. He sighed softly and said loudly, "Take a rest for now."

The accompanying guards reined in the horse, and Rong Zhen personally helped Lu Zheng get off the horse, and asked, "How is it? Can you still hold on?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Seeing Rong Zhen's serious face, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Rong Zhen said: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. I don't know what is waiting for me in Yanjing..."

Lu Zheng frowned and said, "It's indeed a bit strange. Why did His Majesty call you back to the capital in such a hurry? The messenger only announced the national funeral, but didn't mention the new king at all. Isn't it strange?"

"Exactly." Rong Zhen said, "I originally wanted to go to Beijing quickly, but now I think it's better to be careful."

Song Zhiyi said from the side: "But the news from Ye Xiao is still normal! Are you thinking too much?"

They received news yesterday from Ye Xiao who was staying behind in Yanjing, saying that Emperor Yongning died suddenly and did not make a decree to pass on the throne. The second prince and the fourth prince competed for the throne, and Yanjing was in chaos.

But Rong Zhen said: "That's why I find it strange. Wei Wang has been moving frequently for a while, but at this critical moment, why is there no movement?"

Nie Zhishu took the same stand as Song Zhiyi this time: "Maybe King Wei is standing behind those two princes?"

Rong Zhen shook his head. Although he had never really dealt with King Wei, he intuitively believed that with the pride of this man, he would never be inferior to his two nephews.It was precisely because of this thought that he slowed down instead of rushing as before.There were not many guards around them, and there was another large army led by Su Dai, which was divided into small groups and approached Yanjing calmly, waiting for his order.

Nie Zhishu said, "What is Master worried about?"

"I'm afraid this Yanjing is not what we thought it would be." Rong Zhen paused before saying, "We will divide into two groups, Zhi Shu and I will be in the open, and you two will be in the dark with a few guards. If something happens, don't be impulsive, go to Su Dai."

When he said this, Song Zhiyi and Nie Zhishu, who didn't care at first, also looked serious. Song Zhiyi hurriedly said: "Since it's dangerous, why don't the big man and I stay in the open, and my cousin and Young Master Lu stay in the dark!"

"If something really happened, it was aimed at me. What's the use of you in Ming Dynasty?" Seeing that Song Zhiyi still wanted to argue, Rong Zhen stopped him, "There is nothing to argue about this kind of thing, and besides, it's just me planning for a rainy day. After all, there is no bad news coming from Yanjing, maybe it's unfounded worry."

Lu Zheng only felt heavy in his heart, he didn't fight like Song Zhiyi, he was extremely calm, he knew that his kung fu was weak, if something happened, it would just be a burden, it would be better if he was in the dark, nothing happened, even if something happened, It is also better than dragging Rong Zhen down on the bright side.

Rong Zhen glanced at him, and immediately understood what he was thinking, which made him a little happy and a little sad. He knew that Lu Zheng was not unwilling to live and die with him, but he knew better where his advantages were. If it were another person, maybe he would still have a grudge against him, but for himself, he just felt more and more distressed and loved him more and more.

Lu Zheng pulled Song Zhiyi: "I know, we will pay attention."

Song Zhiyi was still a little annoyed, but he also knew the intention of Rong Zhen's arrangement, so he could only say: "In this case, let's meet at Shilipo outside Yanjing City."

Rong Zhen nodded: "It's not too late, let's go first."

"You guys... have a good trip." Lu Zheng felt mixed feelings, and the ominous premonition became more and more serious.

Rong Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to rub Lu Zheng into his arms, his lips brushed Lu Zheng's temples lightly, and said in a low voice: "When we get back to Yanjing, let's get married!"

Lu Zheng's eyes widened in his arms, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

Rong Zhen smiled softly, and before he could react, he planted a kiss on his forehead, then got on his horse, whipped and said, "Let's go!"

When the smoke and dust from Rong Zhen and the others cleared away, Song Zhiyi looked at Lu Zheng with flushed cheeks maliciously: "Young Master Lu, what did my cousin tell you just now? Why did your face turn red?"

Lu Zheng covered his face vigorously, avoiding answering: "Let's set off earlier too...we can't make them wait too long."

Song Zhiyi smiled, and didn't intend to expose him, but glanced at Lu Zheng's thigh: "Rushing is the second priority, I'd better find a place to rest for a night tonight, and bandage your injury, lest you get Yanjing... ...Hey, I'm not finished yet!"

Lu Zheng had already mounted his horse again, and said in a vague way: "Speak slowly by yourself, I'll go first." He urged the horse to go another way, and the few guards who were left behind did not dare to neglect, Also busy catching up.

It's not difficult to catch up with them with Song Zhiyi's ability, so he didn't rush to get on the horse at all, but touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "What did my cousin say? Why did this young master follow Shou Run away like a startled squirrel?"

At this moment, the team responsible for intercepting and killing the King of Chu was led by Han Zhu, and they also ambushed at the place, which is the main road from northern Xinjiang to Yanjing.This place is called Yunjing Road, with towering hillsides on both sides, leaving only a four-horse lane in the middle, and Yunjing Road is very curved, and when passing by, the situation at the other end of the curve is completely invisible.

Han Zhu did not underestimate the King of Chu. He had read a lot of news about the other party over the years, and he knew what a powerful enemy this was. He would never underestimate the enemy. Hit to kill.Therefore, not only did he lead people to ambush on the hillsides on both sides, but at the end of Yunjing Road, there were five hundred archers and axemen waiting for them.

Because he was afraid of being discovered by Rong Zhen and the others, the spies didn't dare to get too close, so he didn't know where Rong Zhen and the others had gone, but there was only a gap of three or two days left, as long as they passed Yunjing Road, they would enter the gate of hell , There must be no return!

In addition to the army, Han Zhu also carried two firebolts on his body. Compared with the cheap goods given to the Jie people before, these two firebolts were newly developed.It's just that he would not use this thing unless it was absolutely necessary. Although he would not save King Chu's life, at least bring him a whole body back.

The weather was a bit hot, so Han Zhu tore off his collar a little, took a sip of water from the water bag, and then asked the soldiers beside him: "Is the scout back?"

The soldier shook his head: "I guess it will take a while."

Han Zhu looked at the sky, and found that the weather was very clear, with no wind at all, and a rush of heat rushed directly to his forehead.Han Zhu took another sip of water, feeling a little lingering irritability in his heart. He stood up and looked towards the other side of Yunjing Road, but he didn't see anyone approaching.

Han Zhu knew that with the speed of the king of Chu and the others, it shouldn't be so fast, but he was always a little uneasy, which was the same as the disappearance of Xuan Yi. It seemed like a small mistake, but it couldn't stop them from going. care.Han Zhu has been with King Wei several times over the years. He believes in his intuition more than anyone else. He is not going to stay here and wait any longer. have a look."

The soldiers took the order to leave, and quickly pointed them up. Han Zhu didn't talk nonsense, and led the people around the hillside, heading towards the way Rong Zhen and the others came.

But at this time, Lu Zheng and Song Zhiyi met an uninvited guest on the road, and this person was Ye Wenguan.

Ye Wenguan still looked like a broad robe and wide sleeves, gentle and elegant, with an amiable smile. The two guards behind him faced Lu Zheng and Song Zhiyi who were obviously anxious, but he said calmly: " Mr. Lu, long time no see."

Lu Zheng cupped his hands: "Mr. Ye is still handsome, but I don't know why you came to see us?"

Ye Wenguan smiled: "Mr. Lu's words are interesting, why didn't I meet you by chance?"

Lu Zheng also calmed down at this moment, he knew that Ye Wenguan never targeted without purpose, he winked at the impatient Song Zhiyi, and then said to Ye Wenguan: "With Mr. Ye's unparalleled physiognomy, there is no one in this world Encounter by chance, only you want to see or not.”

"This is even more interesting!" Ye Wenguan clapped his palms and laughed, "I have already said that if you have difficulties in the future, you can come to Yangzhou to find me. Now if the mountain does not come, I will come, and I will come to the mountain."

Lu Zheng was startled: "Mr. Ye, what does this mean?"

Ye Wen glanced at the two guards beside him, they nodded to him, and pulled the two horses over, Ye Wenguan held out his sleeves and stretched out his hand: "Please, both of you."

Now before Lu Zheng could speak, Song Zhiyi couldn't help it: "Mr. Ye is so mysterious, what is the reason?" It's not that he didn't know Ye Wenguan's superb physiognomy, but Rong Zhen invited him to Yanjing forcibly , I'm afraid this gentleman has never suffered such a loss in his life, and Song Zhiyi doesn't care whether he is a villain or not, but their schedule is urgent right now, and there is no way they can drag him on like this.

Ye Wenguan smiled softly, but he didn't understand Song's intention at all, but said to Lu Zheng: "Mr. Lu, I owe you once with the dust, if you come with me, we will pay it off this time."

Lu Zheng frowned, he didn't know why, he trusted this person who was only acquainted with each other very much, he believed that Ye Wenguan would never do such a thing for no reason, so he agreed without waiting for Song Zhiyi to speak: "Ye Wenguan Sir, I will go with you."

Song Zhiyi also had no choice but to let Lu Zheng follow Ye Wenguan alone, so he had to change horses with him and follow Ye Wenguan in the opposite direction.
