Dianxia Qingcheng

Jiang Yubai stopped the carriage directly, and got into the carriage behind very gracefully without looking back.

There were only Chengfeng and Liu Zhiyuan in the carriage behind, Jiang Yubai drove Liu Zhiyuan to the carriage in front to be the driver.

Liu Zhiyuan was properly arranged to take Zhao Litang's place, and Zhao Litang went directly into the carriage.

A Lanyue was leaning against the car window and looking out, seeing Zhao Litang sitting in, her body tensed up involuntarily.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Litang smiled wryly, "I'll just come in and have a meeting, don't worry."

Alan Yue nodded.

In fact, these days, he also doesn't know how to face the general. He sees the general's actions, but the knowledge of the past for so long, coupled with the fact that he was so humble in the dust before, made him I couldn't believe the general's feelings for me, and I didn't dare to accept or respond for a while.

Zhao Litang just sat in the carriage, did not do anything, did not speak, just looked at A Lanyue's side face, very focused.

The carriage staggered all the way to the gate of Weiyang City, but was stopped suddenly while being interrogated.

Everyone else can leave the city, except Pei Zheng.

The guards wanted to take Pei Zheng away without explaining the reason.

In fact, Pei Zheng already knew what was going to happen in his heart, so he appeased everyone, and then went with the guards, while the rest waited in the carriage.

Pei Zheng was taken to the Northern Territory Palace. Everything was ordered by the Northern Territory Emperor. Although it was stated that Pei Zheng's freedom of coming and going would not be restricted, in fact he was not allowed to leave Weiyang City.

The few people waiting at the gate of the city couldn't help feeling worried when they saw that it was getting dark, but Pei Zheng still hadn't come back.

Jiang Yubai said, "I've been to the Imperial Palace of the Northern Territory, why don't we go and snatch him back?"

Zhao Litang first objected to him, "This is the territory of the Northern Territory, and it is still a heavily guarded capital. It is impossible to rob people. What's more, I don't know why the Emperor of the Northern Territory is looking for Pei Zheng, so I don't want to act rashly."

How could Jiang Yubai not know this truth, he just wanted to tease Shen Jiujiu when he saw Shen Jiujiu's worried face.

Zhao Litang said again, "There shouldn't be any major incidents. If the emperor of the Northern Territory really wants to harm Pei Zheng, there are plenty of opportunities to do it. He won't be kept until now. This move should be more of a deterrent and warning."

Shen Jiu asked worriedly, "Really? Is Brother Pei really going to be fine?"

Zhao Litang nodded, "If Pei Zheng stays in Weiyang City, it will not pose any threat to the Northern Territory, so the Emperor of the Northern Territory can let him go, but now we have to go back to Changling Kingdom, although the current Changling National Power is weak , it is impossible to compete with the Northern Territory, but it is always a hidden danger to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but if the two countries cooperate, it is another matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure walking not far away, it was Pei Zheng who had just returned from the palace.

He walked up to the crowd, carried Li'er and Shen Jiujiu into the carriage, and said to the others, "Let's go, get out of the city as soon as possible."

Several people returned to their carriages, and then drove away from Weiyang City.

The carriage galloped all the way, the sky became darker as it went, but the few people still didn't stop on their way, until the moonlight was hanging high, and there was a distance from Weiyang City, the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down.

I have already arrived at a relatively desolate area, there are no people around, and a few people did not take the official road, so I didn't meet any people along the way.

Originally, the few people planned to rest in the wild for a night, but they suddenly saw an inn opened in the wilderness not far away, with weak lights on in the dark night.

Pei Zheng asked Li Yu to stop the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the inn carefully.

"My lord, do you feel that there is something wrong with that inn?" Although Li Yu couldn't say anything, he just had an intuition.

Pei Zheng nodded, "It's not right."

Pei Zheng had a vague impression of this place. After he just woke up, he seemed to have stayed in an inn on his way to the North Territory. But at that time, his memory was confused and his body was very weak. He only remembered that he almost Put your life in it, I can't remember the rest clearly.

"Then shall we..." Li Yu waved his whip to drive the carriage away.

But Pei Zheng said, "Just live here."

Three carriages stopped outside the inn one by one, and the people inside heard the movement, and rushed out to greet them. In such a big inn, there is only one shop owner and one waiter.

The two of them didn't recognize Pei Zhenglai. At that time, Pei Zheng was in a state of embarrassment, which was very different from his current demeanor.

The owner of the store saw that the appearance and temperament of the few people who came were very outstanding, and the clothes were also rich and noble, and his eyes were secretly shining, so he quickly brought the few people in.

Unexpectedly, there were still a few passers-by living in the inn. After Pei Zheng and his party checked in, they immediately occupied all the remaining rooms in the inn.

In the evening, several people had dinner together in the hotel lobby.

Jiang Yubai asked Pei Zheng worriedly, "Did the emperor of the Northern Territory make things difficult for you today?"

Pei Zheng replied, "No."

"That must be a threat to you, or it's forcing you to agree to his conditions, or else, it's..."

Pei Zheng gave him a cold look, "There's nothing, I'll eat your meal."

"Why did you let us run without you in such a hurry?" Jiang Yubai broke the casserole and asked the end.

Pei Zheng only replied, "Think for yourself."

In fact, Pei Zheng was a little worried at first. He made an agreement with the emperor of the Northern Territory. After returning to the Changling Kingdom, he will definitely promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and in some ways may even help the emperor of the Northern Territory to seize power. .

However, the king's heart is always unpredictable, and Pei Zheng is not sure whether he will suddenly change his mind, so it is the safest way to leave the city in time, and he did not dare to ostentatiously follow the official path along the way, but he has not found it until now. There are some chasing soldiers or secretly planted killers.

If the Northern Territory Emperor wanted to assassinate him, he would definitely not let him run away. He would do it not far from Weiyang City. Now that he has gone so far, it is safe. It can be seen that the Northern Territory Emperor has kept his promise. Should not come to embarrass them again.

Pei Zheng didn't answer Jiang Yubai's question, but asked while hugging the baby, "Is Li'er full?"

Milkman wiped his mouth and nodded.

Shen Jiujiu had already finished eating, and obediently sat aside and waited. Pei Zheng led the two of them upstairs, went back to the room and closed the door.

Jiang Yubai said angrily, "Look at this man, is there anyone who can take care of him? Just let him be so arrogant all day long!"

The rest of the people watched their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, focusing on eating their own meals.

In the end, Zhao Litang spoke up and told Jiang Yubai the reason.

"General Zhao, did Pei Zheng tell you in secret? Did the two of you collude?"

Zhao Litang shook his head, "No."

"Then how do you know this?"

Zhao Litang looked calm, "Isn't the reason obvious?"

Jiang Yubai opened his mouth and smiled stiffly.

I will definitely not humiliate myself again in the future.

Absolutely not.

It was a peaceful night, and the shop owner and waiter didn't show any abnormalities.

Early the next morning, a few people got ready to continue on their way, but found that it was snowing heavily outside and the road was blocked. It seemed that there was no way to continue on their way.

But after going downstairs, I found that the other guests who were originally staying in the inn had disappeared.

According to the shop owner, those people insisted on leaving regardless of the heavy snow blocking the road outside, and they couldn't stop them.

When Shen Jiujiu and Li'er saw the heavy snow, they both wanted to go out to play, and Pei Zheng also agreed. When they took the two out, they whispered something to Chengfeng, and then Chengfeng took the order and left.

After the rest of the people got up, they also went outside to play in the snow for a while.

After returning to the inn, Chengfeng just came back and told Pei Zheng what he found.

The few guests probably didn't leave the inn, because Chengfeng followed the footprints of those who left to check, and the footprints disappeared on a small hill not far from the inn.

At the foot of the mountain, Chengfeng found a large area of ​​snow that had been turned over by someone. He only poked it twice with the blade of his sword, and then he saw the blood-stained snow below. There might be something buried under the ground.

Hearing this, Pei Zheng's eyes darkened.

In the blink of an eye, in the dead of night, there were noises from downstairs in the inn, footsteps sounded continuously, as if there were many people, and the vibration spread along the wooden frame of the inn.

The owner of the inn lit a candlestick, which illuminated the faces of the people around them. They were all robbers with fierce faces. This inn was basically a black shop, specializing in murder and robbery.

Passengers who come and go to the hotel always come and go.

After the shop owner received this group of people yesterday, he concluded that they were fat sheep full of oil and water, and the children of such rich and noble families usually had embroidered pillows, and there was only a man in black who always carried a sword, It looked like a guard, but there were so many of them, it would not be difficult to deal with him.

"Boss, we made such a big noise when we came in just now, won't we wake them up?"

The shop owner smirked, "Relax, no matter how loud the sound is, they won't be able to wake them up. I've put a lot of food in tonight's meal, and I promise they won't be able to hear it if the sky falls!"

The robbers all laughed, took out their swords, and went upstairs.

Several robbers surrounded the doors of several rooms. They exchanged winks, kicked open the door together, and broke into the house separately.

Unexpectedly, there was some medicinal powder hidden behind each door, and when the door was opened, it was scattered all over the sky, and all the robbers unconsciously inhaled a lot of medicinal powder.

After a while, the room became chaotic. The robbers who were originally here to kill each other began to kill each other for some reason. The swordsman's swordsmanship was superb, and the room was full of blood and flesh. The situation was extremely serious. Tragic, one after another howls resounded throughout the inn.

And on the carriage outside the inn, several heads were exposed, enough to see the situation inside the inn, but unfortunately it was too dark to see any good shows.
