Chu Chen Kee

Cangzhou is close to the northern border. Although it has a vast area, there are not many people. The land here is barren and difficult to grow. The life of the people is always worse than that in the south.

In the past few years, Wang Ziyi took over Cangzhou, and also vigorously developed the animal husbandry industry, and carried out mutual trading with the surrounding nomadic peoples, and made a lot of achievements.

Because of this, he is very popular among the people. In fact, his words are more useful than the emperor's imperial decree here.

Li Chenhuan traveled all over the world and arrived in Cangzhou in just one day and one night.As a result, many war horses were exhausted when they arrived at the city, foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.

With Yue Ze on his back, Hu Ziying didn't feel tired at all, but was very puzzled: "Why is the prince in such a hurry to go? Even if there is a rebellion in Cangzhou, it is counterproductive to rush here without any preparations for fighting?"

Yue Ze said calmly: "I'm afraid there is a change in it. In the old forest the day before yesterday, there was a long-lost power left. The maid next to the prince is from the Tianyao Sect, and she can sense it. I think I should tell him. "

"What is that?" Hu Ziying was puzzled, what kind of power could make this Tang prince who can even invite the Sky Demon King feel uneasy?

Bai Yi led Li Yuchen and walked behind the two of them, with a cold expression on his face: "Witch Clan!"

"Witch Clan?" Hu Ziying was taken aback for a moment, and then realized, "Could it be the ancient Witch Clan that has disappeared for thousands of years?"

Bai Yi nodded lightly.

The ancient witch clan existed in the Xia and Shang Dynasties, an ancient witch clan that was so powerful that even the Daoist sects at that time had to avoid it for the time being.

Their ancestors were the Great God Pangu, who continued the ancient and noble blood of Pangu, and were born able to communicate with all things. Because of the different powers they inherited, they were divided into different great witches such as divination, beast control, healing, fighting, and sacrifice. In the battle for the Central Plains during the period, these witches played a force that cannot be underestimated.

Later, they reached their peak after the establishment of the first human dynasty.At that time, everything in the world was divided into different levels, and the great witch was the highest level, followed by the human emperor, and the princes and nobles.

Things go against each other, and since then, the theocracy and kingship have been blending and fighting endlessly, and finally lost in an earth-shattering duel because of the arrogance of the witch clan, and they have since faded out of everyone's sight.

Some people say that they have not given up on restoring the glory of the Wu clan, but are just resting temporarily, waiting for their rise.But the place where they hide from the world is too hidden, and no one has ever seen them.

And if the real witch clan appears, it means that they are ready to fight and are determined to take back this world again.Bloody war is inevitable.

"Who is here?" The city guard officer saw a large group of people rushing to the gate of the city from a distance, and asked sharply in shock.

Li Chenhuan didn't have such a good temper, so he directly grabbed the flag from the hand of the guard beside him, and with a flick of his wrist, the flagpole made of fine iron dragged the flag and rushed to the officer the moment he let go, deeply disappointed One foot deep into the city, the crown prince's flag fluttered in the wind.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, sorry for my poor eyesight, so I couldn't go far to meet him!" The military officer at the top of the city was also taken aback when he saw the Prince's banner, and then hurriedly led people down the city to meet him.

"Report your name." Li Chenhuan said expressionlessly.

The officer paused, then knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Cangzhou Zhaowu Deputy Lieutenant Xia Yi has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chenhuan rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Xia Yi? Your ancestor was Xia Gansheng who accompanied the Taizu in Qingzhou to defeat the former Dingyuan King who supported himself?"

Xia Yi was slightly surprised: "Your Highness remembers your ancestors?"

Li Chenhuan nodded slightly: "After the meritorious officials, although they are lucky at the moment, this palace will never bury talents."

This point has to admire Li Chenhuan, his news network is all over the world, as long as there are talented people, he can remember the origin and family background of this person clearly, without any mistakes or omissions, and he patiently and meticulously recruits people one by one.

It is precisely because of this that most of the people under him are talented but low-key talents, and all of them are loyal to him.

Just looking at Li Chenhuan's win over people's hearts, no one in the court can match.

Xia Yi refused without hesitation: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help, but I have no intention or ability in the government. Being able to be a deputy lieutenant in Cangzhou is already a compliment from Lord Wang."

Li Chenhuan was not displeased at all, but just glanced at him indifferently: "Since that's the case, I won't force it."

Just as he was talking, he saw the city gate in front of him wide open, and Wang Ziyi in silver armor hurried over. Your highness will condemn you."

Bai Yi took a slight look at the person who came. Wang Ziyi looked handsome, with a thick back and waist, and his bronze-colored skin could be seen from years of exposure to the scorching sun.

It shouldn't be that kind of muddleheaded person.

Li Chenhuan's attitude towards him was not as kind as he was to Xia Yi, and he just waved his hands lukewarmly: "The messenger should have arrived a day later, but I arrived early, so you don't blame me if you don't know .”

Wang Ziyi seemed relieved, and stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, please go to the city. It is hard work to travel and travel. I just ordered someone to clean out my mansion. Please condescend to your Highness. The humble house will surely be full of splendor."

Li Chenhuan glanced at him indifferently, met his humble and sincere eyes, and smiled coldly: "No need, this palace has its own place to go. If this palace comes, it will make Wang Shoubei have a home. It's not this palace." Is it wrong?"

Wang Ziyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Chenhuan's tone, and said enthusiastically: "Then please escort your highness to your place of residence. Your highness came this time and brought five thousand elite soldiers with him. I don't know why?"

Li Chenhuan motioned for the soldiers to enter the city, and said casually: "Someone reported to you that the guards have neglected their duties, causing hardships for the people in winter, and the foreigners also have the heart of disobedience. They are afraid to prevent them from raiding the frontier, so I ordered this palace to come to investigate this matter thoroughly. .”

When Wang Ziyi heard the words, he immediately knelt down and shouted for grievances: "Your Highness, I have learned from you that I have never neglected my duty!"

Li Chenhuan looked at him with a half-smile: "Whether there is, we need to check to find out."

"If you go back to His Highness, I can guarantee with my life. My lord is dedicated to serving the people. Although the people in the city are suffering, so far, no one in the city has died of freezing or starvation. If someone goes up for impeachment, it is absolutely untrue!" Stand by and argue.

Li Chenhuan slightly raised his eyebrows: "Master Wang is really popular!"

Wang Ziyi gritted his teeth and said: "This minister is innocent, please His Highness investigate thoroughly, and return this minister to justice."

Li Chenhuan leaned on the armrest of Prince Luanjia, squinted his eyes and looked him up and down, then waved his hand and got up and left without saying a word.

Hu Ziying could hear clearly from behind, and asked Bai Yi very puzzled: "Senior brother, why did Li Chenhuan lie to that Wang?"

Bai Yi looked at Prince Luanjia in front, and replied softly: "Since Wang Ziyi is the eldest son of Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Wang must have tried to inform him of the news that the prince is going to Cangzhou."

After a pause, he said again, "Look at his deliberate show of weakness just now, it is undoubtedly to force the prince to the opposite side of public opinion and win the hearts of the people for himself. It's just that the prince was not fooled. There is no need to confront him head-on, and there is no need to be on the opposite side of the people. Wang Ziyi is not sure about the purpose of the prince, so he will definitely try to find out his details and force her to take action. This way, we will not be too passive."

Hu Ziying suddenly said: "So that's the case. No wonder human beings die so quickly. It's hard to live for a long time after calculating like this all day long!"

Bai Yi: "... makes sense!"

It's just that when Luanjia stopped... Bai Yi's face turned dark.

He pointed to the door with aloes and carved flowers beside him, and could no longer keep calm: "Dare to ask Your Highness, but do you want to live here?"

Li Chenhuan smiled slightly: "Why not?"

Bai Yi looked at the three glittering golden characters "Fengyue Pavilion" on the door plaque, and was completely speechless.
