Heaven is fearless

Chapter 20 Mountain Ghost

Shao Tianheng struggled to hold on to the short bed beside the bed and gasped for breath. The lack of food and herbs made his head dizzy, and his lips were so pale that there was no color at all.

After several days of hard work, his whole body was reduced to the point where only a handful of bones remained. The normal clothes that were originally fitted were loosely draped over his shoulders, and even the protruding bones on his back could be clearly seen.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh something has happened,hhhhh!

Shocked by the sudden roar, Shao Tianheng almost held his breath and passed out on the spot. He closed his eyes and slowed down for a while before his heartbeat calmed down. He read the words of Fa Shi and opened his eyes suddenly: "What happened?"

There was an unbelievable cry in Fa Ze's voice: "This Guawazi rushed into the Beirong King's Court and killed the Beirong King, and then jumped into the river after being chased by a group of people. He still has injuries on his body, and he is almost dying!"

Shao Tianheng's eyes widened in shock from these few words.

——Where is the boy who promised to make him feel at ease? !

Chu Zhang: I didn't agree with you.

Shao Tianheng lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, paused for two seconds, then got up abruptly, and told the guards outside the curtain: "Gu wants to rest, don't disturb without Gu's order."

After speaking, he lay back on the bed again, and the law understood, and immediately pulled his consciousness out and stuffed it into the body of the ghost king.

Immortal cultivators have great supernatural powers. The Ghost King, who roams the ghosts and monsters, split the ground and his body turned into blue-gray cold smoke. He stepped from the capital to the vast grassland in one step, and stayed on the vast grassland where no one was seen. It eroded the surrounding living creatures, and corroded the originally green grass into a dry grayish yellow.

Mr. Xiyi flicked his sleeves and twirled his fingers, touching the consciousness left on the living ghost card, and the next second, the mist melted on the spot, passing half of the grassland in an instant, and plunged into a sparkling river without stopping.

As soon as it enters the river, the smoke condenses and closes, transforming into the ghost king's beautiful and dreamlike figure in the water.

The big sleeves of the toga are rippling in the water waves, rippling with the current like flowing clouds, the long hair is scattered in the river, and the face that is not covered by the distance, in the dim light of the water, it seems that the aura of heaven and earth has become a fairy, but the fairy will never be like this Nong Lihua's strange beauty, on the contrary, is more like the fox demon in the painting that blows out in one breath, with a smear of red at the end of her eyes dragging out, this scene is even more beautiful than the peak of human imagination, secluded In the silent deep water, a voluptuous ghost stretched out his hand towards the drowned man.

It's a pity that Chu Zhang, who was already in a coma, didn't see anything.

Xi Yi held Chu Zhang who had lost consciousness and drifted with the water with one hand, swung his sleeves, and broke out of the water, Fa Ze surrounded him crying: "It's broken, Chu Zhang is dead."

Xi Yi put Chu Zhang on the grass by the bank, looked at Chu Zhang who was pale and had stopped breathing, with a heavy expression.

He has never been so glad that he chose the incarnation of the ghost king.

Opening his dark ghost eyes, Xi Yi easily found the ghost floating not far away and staring blankly in the direction of Da Wei in a dimension invisible to ordinary people.

Chu Zhang, who turned into a ghost after death, was wearing the tooth-colored robe that he often wore in the East Palace, and his long hair was tied behind his head with a ribbon. daze.

Xiyi volleyed him over with one hand, but he didn't respond, letting Xiyi grab his wrist.

"Put it back into the body directly, it should be able to survive." Law urged him aside.

The glamorous ghost king was a little undecided, because a new idea suddenly popped up in his mind: "He's dead anyway, why don't we just take him back and raise him? After all, he's the next ghost king..."

The law reminded him: "The king of ghosts must be transformed by a ghost. Look at him like this. Although his death is a bit miserable, he is far from reaching the level of a ghost, okay?"

Xi Yi looked at this dazed and well-behaved Chu Zhang ghost with some pity: "After taking it back, I will be tortured again?"

Law couldn't laugh or cry: "Then do you still want to be his master! Besides, he is unwilling to die this time, and he can't accept the fact that he is a ghost. After turning into a ghost, his ability will be greatly reduced!"

No one knows the condition of a ghost better than the King of Ghosts. Xi Yi just squeezed it, and realized that Chuzhang would lose his wits in a few days if he continued like this. It became a small ball, put it in the palm of your hand and gently blew on Chu Zhang's body.

The small ball spread out soundlessly, turned into a few wisps of smoke and dust, and penetrated through Chu Zhang's seven orifices. The Ghost King patted his hands again three times. The clear and melodious voice was casual and solemn. The Lord asked solemnly, "Are you still awake?"

After a short pause, Chu Zhang, who was still pale and deathly, slowly opened his eyes, and then coughed heartbreakingly, spitting out a large puddle of water.

He sat up blankly, he was still on the grassland, no one looked around, only a ray of light in the sky was white.

He... didn't die? !

Chu Zhang looked back in amazement, the river was still rushing, and he discovered that the shore was covered with traces of being wet by the big waves. He was probably extremely lucky to be washed up by the waves, and he was lucky enough to save his life.

The wounds on his body had been soaked in the river for a long time, and the bleeding had stopped. Chu Zhang checked, and unexpectedly found that the wounds did not hurt the muscles and bones, but the blood flowed a little more.

The ghost king who hides merit and fame: Hehehe.

Chu Zhang identified the direction, and staggered step by step towards the east where Wei was.

******

Shao Tianheng opened his eyes on the bed, and suddenly fell from the ghost king's body that could lift mountains with one hand into a body that was hard to breathe. As soon as he opened his eyes, he burst into a heart-piercing cough.

He sat up with difficulty and put on his coat. The guards outside the tent heard the movement, but they didn't dare to come in due to his order. Shao Tianheng took a breath, stood up slowly and walked out.

"Your Highness."

The guards guarding outside the curtain immediately came up to report: "There has been movement from the Beirong people outside the city."

Shao Tianheng turned his face sideways: "What's happening?"

The guards who had reduced their rations with Shao Tianheng and had been starving for nearly half a month looked disheveled, but their shoulders were still straight, and their voice was full of air: "The soldiers watching from the city gate said that a horse came from the grassland in the early morning and went straight to the Beirong Central Army After the big tent, the Beirong army began to shrink, as if it was about to pull out the camp."

Shao Tianheng's heart is clear, it should be the news that Chu Zhang killed the King of Beirong, the leader Zuoxian was originally the next King of Beirong, but there is another person in the royal court who is of the same blood as him What about my uncle Youxian King!

If he took one step at night, maybe the king of Beirong, who was firmly established, would pull out the nail and take off on the spot.

After figuring out the path, Shao Tianheng ordered the city gates of Changzhou to be closed tightly, allowing the Beirong troops to withdraw and no pursuit was allowed.

In fact, he couldn't pursue him even if he wanted to. After being starved for a period of time, the soldiers in the city didn't have the energy to fight against the strong Beirong people.

Shao Tianheng was helped to walk up to the city wall of Changzhou. Seeing the vast Beirong tents moving away in succession, the Beirong army reversed and retreated in an orderly manner.

Knowing that Bei Rong retreated, the city of Changzhou was full of joy. Everyone thought that they would die, but who knew that they had saved their lives. They couldn't restrain their ecstasy. They crazily shouted the names of all kinds of gods in their mouths and murmured their thanks .

Sitting in the tent and listening to the waves of shouts outside, Shao Tianhuan, whose cheeks were thinner, narrowed his eyes. Bei Rong retreated?

He thought for a while, spread out a piece of white deer paper, dipped the nib of the pen in thick ink, hovered on the paper for a while, finally made up his mind, and moved the pen like flying.

"Father, please:

"On the day my son arrived in Changzhou, he was imprisoned in the tent by the emperor's brother. All the companions were divided into prisons and could not get out. My son was terrified and couldn't sleep at night. Depending on the words and deeds of the emperor's brother, he might have the intention of disobedience. However, everyone in the army said food and grass. After being robbed, Bei Rong besieged the city. This move was to prevent one army from having two masters. It was an extraordinary plan to stabilize the army's morale. However, my ministers did not see Bei Rong's attack on the city.

"After thinking about it, my son, Bei Rong is definitely not so stupid, and the emperor's brother is not a lu beetle, why would he act so abnormally?..."

His letter was full of confused words, but it was full of inducements, and he almost said to Emperor Wei, "The crown prince and Bei Rong have hooked up and committed adultery! This is a scene they played! I just don't want to return the soldier talisman to you!" The prince wants to rebel!"

After writing the eloquent letter, Shao Tianhuan stamped his prince's seal on the back, sealed the envelope, and stood up: "Come here."

Bei Rong retreated, Changzhou City lifted the ban, and several army horses carried the battle report, and together with the prince's messenger mixed among them, they galloped towards the direction of the capital.

Shao Tianheng didn't know what the kind-hearted, idiot younger brother did. He sorted out his military affairs, stuffed a letter of talisman into Shao Tianhuan's hand without any hesitation, and walked back to Beijing with ease.

——As for Chu Zhang?

He purposely fished out Chu Zhang and put him on the shore where Beirong's security was the loosest. If he still couldn't come back, then this lucky son should be renamed the unlucky son.

The carriage drove for three days, and only halfway there, letters from the capital piled up on Shao Tianheng's desk like a snowflake, most of which were written by his staff and cronies. Changzhou was sealed, and these letters were accumulated in the post station and could not enter. It was only delivered to Shao Tianheng today.

Shao Tianheng opened a letter casually, it was written by Yan Pingping, his former classmate and now the deputy head of the Imperial Academy, except for some greetings in the letter, it also mentioned that the head of the Yan family's main sect was reborn two months ago. A youngest son, remind Shao Tianheng to remember to follow the etiquette.

His eyes paused for a moment on this line, and Shao Tianheng remembered that the person in charge of the old tree seems to have had an eldest son, what is his name... Yan Zhuo?It seems that he has a good relationship with Chu Zhang.

Originally, he didn't intend to reply to the letter, but thinking of this, Shao Tianheng spread the word of "sprinkling gold", and decided to write a letter to Yan Pinglan.

A gift... let's give a set of chess, the twins carved out at the same time as Zhaocuo, have been hidden in the warehouse and only used a few times, so it's just right for a congratulatory gift...

While thinking nonchalantly, he wrote back the letter, and was writing the last sentence, when suddenly there was a faint thunderous sound of horseshoes in front of him.

Hearing the voice, it was also the army of the Great Wei that came.

Shao Tianheng put down his pen and tapped on the wall of the carriage.

The guards accompanying the car understood and went forward to ask questions. As soon as they met each other, they didn't even make a sound. The leader on the opposite side had already asked first: "But the convoy escorting the prince back to Beijing?"

The guard showed the East Palace badge: "It's the Prince's motorcade, what's your priority?"

The visitor glanced at the waist card, as if confirming something, turned his face immediately, pointed the whip forward, and shouted sharply: "Take it!"

This change happened suddenly, Shao Tianheng returned to the capital with only a few teams of escorts, the number of them was very small, facing hundreds of strong soldiers, all of them were captured within a quarter of an hour.

Amidst the ferocious expressions of the guards, the general in armor got off his horse, strode to the carriage that was motionless from beginning to end, cupped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness! The last general is ordered by His Majesty to come here!" Welcome Your Highness back to the palace!"

There were a few very light coughs in the carriage, and a calm voice sounded faintly: "Your welcome is just to bind Gu's guards without explaining? Why, is Gu also going to be arrested together?"

The general's voice was full of arrogance: "This is His Majesty's will, and there are no need for too many idlers around His Highness. As for these guards, please rest assured, His Highness, they will not be hurt at all."

Shao Tianheng looked at the unfinished letter on the table, picked up the seal and stamped it at the end, dried the remaining ink on it, with neither sad nor happy expression: "Really, then let's go."

Fa Shi leaned into his ear: "Old Emperor Wei is going to attack you."

Tiandao felt the same way: "Yeah, to be honest, it's beyond my expectation that his character can endure Shao Tianheng for so long."

Emperor Wei and Shao Tianheng are two completely opposite people, one is jealous of the virtuous and capable, the other is open-minded, the other is suspicious by nature, the other is kind and virtuous, the one spends all his mind on pleasure and jealousy, and the other only cares about the well-being of the country and the people.

Of course, Emperor Wei knew how famous his crown prince was in the court and the public, and also how amazing his talent was. He was like a sharpened long knife, hanging above Emperor Wei's head day and night, making him unpopular Can't sleep well, what if the prince wants to plot against him?What if the ministers want a virtuous monarch?just in case……

A heart full of suspicion made him think that everyone was Shao Tianheng's chess piece inserted beside him, and his fear of Shao Tianheng almost made him demonize the other party.

However, the prince's low-key and obedient attitude has always prevented him from finding a place to vent, and this precarious balance is thus stretched at both ends of the steel wire.

Finally, the failure of Shao Tianheng to resist the decree and the weight of the [-] troops broke the last hesitation in Emperor Wei's heart. Shao Tianhuan's letter only added fuel to the fire.

So on an unremarkable late autumn afternoon, hundreds of well-armored soldiers tightly surrounded a carriage, as if they were escorting some criminals, and under the curious eyes of the common people, they walked towards the imperial prison.

There was no questioning, no sentencing, no chance to even meet him. The majestic Prince of Wei had just defeated the Northern Rong for Wei and won the victory. He was escorted off the battlefield and thrown directly into prison.

The Father does not believe in the Son, and the Son does not see the Father.

The emperor threw the prince into prison.

The piles of piles are all anecdotes through the ages.

The first person to hear the news was the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Of course, a prisoner was admitted to the prison and his approval was required. It is even more impossible for such a valuable prisoner to bypass him.

The moment he heard the news, he sat down on the ground.

It’s over.

This was his first thought.

Your Majesty doesn't trust the crown prince. This is something anyone who has eyes can tell. Compared with father and son, the two sides are more like strangers. Back then, the crown prince was appointed for the sake of the queen's mother's family. No one thought of this. The crown prince is so powerful that he has secured the position of crown prince by himself.

Only in this way, the barrier between father and son in the Tian family became more and more severe. The father was jealous of the son, and the father was indifferent to the son. After several years, the father and son turned into enemies.

But throwing the prince into prison...

Kill son!

Would rather bear such infamy, is His Majesty really crazy?

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment was full of bitterness, and there was no word about it beforehand. It can be seen that His Majesty has made up his mind and will never let the prince go out alive again.

Dawei, this is about to change.
