Once a dead eunuch
Chapter 63 New Identity!
county lord...
Even if Li Changsheng was calm about things, he couldn't help but change his face at this moment.
It turns out there are worse options than dressing up as a eunuch...
Li Changsheng really didn't want to try to become a princess after becoming a eunuch.
For a while, Li Changsheng didn't care about the olive branch that the second prince Liying threw at him, and focused all his attention on the "occupation change card".
There is no choice at all in choosing one of the three careers. Li Changsheng will never touch the third choice. As for the first choice, it is not a smart choice, so the three choices instantly become one, and only the second choice...
"Lord Li?" Second Prince Liying was still speaking sincerely. Seeing Li Changsheng's silence, he thought his words were not sincere enough, so he hurriedly continued.
"Lord Li, don't worry. Although my Dali is not as big as the land of Jing, I will never treat you badly. Dali has inexhaustible salt and iron. If Lord Li is willing to stay in Dali, I will wait for you. When I return to the capital, I can make you Lord Li the Marquis of Nanxu."
Liying really paid for it all at once. Nanxu is located within Liguo, and it is the place with the most abundant copper mines. It can be called a local tyrant among local tyrants. Jiang Guofeng, etc., there is no place that can catch up with Nanxu's wealth.
"Second prince," Li Changsheng was distracted for a while, then returned to his seat, smiled modestly, and said: "Second prince fell in love wrongly, foreign ministers dare not take credit for it."
What a smart person Li Ying is, once he heard Li Changsheng's words, he knew that he was going to reject him.
The olive branch thrown by Li Ying is indeed enough to tempt.However, Li Changsheng was the calmest person, and he was not the one who was seduced by the small profit in front of him.If he wanted to develop for a long time, Li Changsheng was certain that following Jing Baiyu would be the most appropriate.
If he can always follow the little prince Jing Baiyu, after a few years, what he can get is not just a small place like Nanxu, but...
Liying was a little unwilling, but she couldn't say anything else, so she hurriedly interrupted Li Changsheng, saying: "Master Li, don't refuse me in a hurry, why not... why don't you go back and think about it, if Li Changsheng My lord has figured it out, you can come and find me anytime."
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your kindness." Li Changsheng didn't say any more, he bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.
The little prince Jing Baiyu went back to the room where he stayed alone, already very sleepy but unable to fall asleep.
"I'll come back after talking for a while, you big villain, you don't keep your word!"
Jing Baiyu rolled over and sat up with his rabbit puppet in his arms, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Liying definitely wants to take Li Changsheng away..."
Although Jing Baiyu was young, she saw clearly enough that she guessed Liying's thoughts right away.
"Ugh--"
Jing Baiyu sighed like a little adult, hugged the rabbit puppet, stood up, pushed open the door and went to the courtyard outside, found a porch and sat on the floor.
The bunny puppet was held in Jing Baiyu's arms, his big ears were trembling by the night wind, and he looked a little cold.
To be honest, Jing Baiyu was also a bit cold, now that it was winter, the night wind was especially cold and hard, making Jing Baiyu's little face ache.
"Ugh--"
Jing Baiyu sighed again, holding her fleshy cheeks, half-raised her head and looked at the dark sky.
"Whoa-"
There was a soft sound, before turning back in time, Jing Baiyu had been wrapped from head to tail by a thick cloak, and was directly covered underneath, covering it tightly.
"Oh, I'm suffocating." Jing Baiyu yelled in a muffled voice from below.
He opened the cloak, and saw Li Changsheng's always smiling and gentle face.
Jing Baiyu stared and said, "Why did you show up suddenly and bury the prince with a cloak!"
Li Changsheng said: "Excuse me, Your Highness is looking up at the sky at 45 degrees?"
"What 45?" Jing Baiyu was confused for a while, and said, "I came back so late, I told the prince to wait!"
Li Changsheng wrapped Jing Baiyu in a cloak, and said: "His Royal Highness should rest first, why wait for Changsheng here? It's very cold outside, if the prince is ill, I'm afraid he will suffer again."
Jing Baiyu said: "Who is waiting for you here on purpose. It's just...just that the brazier in the room is not very hot. I want to see when you will come back and ask you to light the fire."
"Yes, yes," Li Changsheng bent down, suddenly picked up Jing Baiyu, and said, "Go back."
"Hey, Li Changsheng!" Jing Baiyu kicked his calf twice and said, "It's too embarrassing, you put me down, don't you hear me, don't hug me."
Li Changsheng said: "Your Highness, don't move around, be careful that you will fall."
"what--"
Li Changsheng said, pretending to let go, Jing Baiyu was taken aback, the moment of weightlessness was really scary.He hurriedly ignored other things, and immediately stretched out his arms to hug Li Changsheng, his eyes were wide open, and his face looked shocked.
Li Changsheng laughed in a low voice, then carried Jing Baiyu into the house, closed the door, and added some charcoal to the brazier.
Jing Baiyu lay on the quilt, and immediately relaxed a lot.He closed his eyes, but still didn't feel sleepy...
"Li Changsheng..." Jing Baiyu asked in a low voice, seemingly casually, "What did Liying tell you?"
Li Changsheng smiled, and did not answer Jing Baiyu's question, but instead said: "I just thanked the second prince for his wrong love, and I came back. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and Jing Baiyu seemed to have fallen asleep.
After a while, Jing Baiyu turned over, facing inward, with an irresistible smile on the corner of her mouth...
The army assisting the second prince to leave Ying even broke through the gate of Luanshan City.The news spread like wildfire, within two or three days, it almost spread throughout the Li country.
Shangzhu Kingdom murdered the king, and even slaughtered the princes and ministers who resisted him.Because of the need for troops to suppress these rebels, urgent conscription was used to expand the suppression army.
After conscripting soldiers, they naturally had to feed these soldiers, and the military pay increased, and the treasury could not support the expenditure, so Shangzhu Kingdom issued another order to increase taxes.
This time, not only the prince and ministers opposed Shangzhu Kingdom, but even ordinary people complained.
Just when the Shangzhu Kingdom aroused public outrage, the second prince of the Li Kingdom left his body and suddenly drove straight in. He saw that after passing through Luanshan City, he would be able to attack the capital all the way in a few days and behead the traitor of the Shangzhu Kingdom.
It's only a few days' journey from Luanshan City to Liguo's capital city. If you hurry up, you will arrive in two days.They are now marching in a large force, so it is inevitable that their footsteps will be slower, but they can enter the capital within five days at most.
Luanshan City is a border city of Liguo, so the city gate is extremely strong and blessed with natural dangers, so it is naturally difficult to break through.However, after passing through Luanshan City, the gates inside the country are no longer so hard, so they are nothing to be afraid of.
In addition to the other city guards, they heard that Jing Guo's army was invincible and broke through the gates of Luanshan City in one day. How could they not be afraid?
What's more, this army was led by the famous righteous division. The officials who guarded the city along the way wavered in their hearts. Finally, they simply opened the city gate and took the initiative to welcome the second prince back.
On this day, the large army moved forward rapidly, and the soldiers in front suddenly turned their horses' heads, and the horses came galloping fast.
"Report!"
The soldier got off his horse and knelt down to the ground, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, Lord Li! It's the capital city of Liguo!"
The gate of the capital city was right in front of him, Jing Baiyu opened his eyes wide in excitement, and rode on a tall horse trying to look forward, and sure enough, he saw the faint gray city wall.
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "The journey of the past few days has finally arrived."
"Great!" Jing Baiyu was overjoyed.
After conquering the capital city of Li Kingdom, the second prince can become the monarch of Li Kingdom, and Jing Baiyu can also return to Jing Kingdom with glory.
Jing Baiyu is only eight years old, if he can make extraordinary achievements smoothly, after returning to Jing country, no one will dare to underestimate this young prince.
Jing Baiyu said loudly: "Very well, rectify the soldiers and call for formation!"
The army had already approached the city, and quickly formed a formation. Some soldiers came out and shouted at the city gate.
"Don't fight, don't fight!"
On the top of the city gate, there was movement in an instant. Someone stood anxiously on the top of the city tower, waved to the bottom, and shouted: "Don't hit, don't hit! They are all our own people! There are people in the city, please don't fight!"
Jing Baiyu raised his head and asked Li Changsheng, "Who is that?"
Li Changsheng was not very familiar with the situation in Liguo, so he could only say, "I'll go and find out."
Before Li Changsheng could go, the second prince, Liying, had already walked over holding the reins.
Liying smiled and said, "It's Lang Zhongling!"
The Lang Zhongling on the tower was about thirty years old, he was an acquaintance of Liying.The Yan family can be said to be a well-known aristocrat in Liguo, Lang Zhongling's father is Liguo's prime minister, and his elder brother is also Liguo's general.
Lang Zhongling yelled at the city gate for a while, and then he heard the sound of the city gate opening rumblingly.
Lang Zhongling ran all the way down from the city gate building, and ran out of the city gate alone.
"Second Prince! Your Highness Second Prince!"
Lang Zhongling ran to Li Ying's horse, and "Gudong" knelt on the ground, with a teary face, crying: "The minister is here to pick you up! Please come to the city to preside over the overall situation!"
The gate of the capital was suddenly breached without attacking. Lang Zhongling knelt in front of Li Ying, and Li Ying said in surprise, "Master Yan, this is... what happened in the city?"
Lang Zhongling burst into tears and said: "Returning to the second prince, the traitor went to the Zhu Kingdom, and because he heard about the second prince's soldiers approaching the city, he was already afraid of running away, so he fled the capital with a few relatives this morning!"
"Shangzhu country has escaped?" Liying was surprised, but after thinking about it, it is a good thing that Shangzhu country has escaped...
If the Shangzhu Kingdom fights them to the end, it will inevitably start a war in the capital, and the people will have no means of living at that time, this is not what Li Ying wants to see.
As for the fleeing Shangzhu Kingdom, Liying can have people hunt him down with all their might, so he won't be able to escape very far.
"It's just..." Liying was still puzzled, and said, "Why does Lang Zhongling suffer so much when the traitor escapes?"
When Lang Zhongling heard Liying's words, he couldn't stop crying again, crying until he was dying, and then he said intermittently: "The second prince doesn't know... During the past few days when Zhu Kingdom ruled the capital, the ministers who disobeyed his orders were imprisoned and beheaded, and the father and brother of the humble officials... were not spared, all...all..."
When Lang Zhongling said this, he was choked with sobs and could no longer speak.
Liying was furious, and said, "What did you say? Both the prime minister and the general... were killed?"
Lang Zhongling just nodded and couldn't say a word at all.
Lang Zhongling's loyal family, because they tried their best to resist the atrocities of Shangzhu Kingdom, were ordered by Shangzhu Kingdom to massacre nearly half of them.
Lang Zhongling said: "I saw it with my own eyes, Shangzhu Kingdom killed my father and brother! The traitor not only killed my brother and father, but also made people flog his corpse and left it in the wilderness. The corpses of father and brother are buried."
"There's no reason for that!" Li Ying clenched her fists tightly and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom is really hateful, but..."
"Ying'er," Liang Fenghe beside him said in a low voice, "it's better to enter the city first, lest others take advantage of it."
"Uncle is right." Li Ying nodded and said, "Go to the city first!"
Liying gave an order, and the large army began to enter the city rumblingly.
Inside the capital city of Liguo, it looks a bit depressed. During these days, the people's life is not very satisfactory.
When they entered the city gate and walked to the imperial palace, some ministers had heard the news and came out to welcome the second prince to leave.
However, looking around, the number of officials who appeared was less than half, and it seemed that there were very few officials.
It's not that the remaining officials have any opinion on the second prince's departure from Ying, but these days, in order to stabilize his position, Shangzhu Kingdom will put officials who oppose him into prison, torture them, or even kill them directly. Officials who can welcome the second prince's departure, That's all.
Li Ying's eyes were red, the scene in the capital was much worse than he expected.
Jing Baiyu rode on the horse, looked around to the left and right, and couldn't stop sighing "ah".
Li Changsheng said: "Why is the prince sighing?"
Jing Baiyu said: "It's nothing... I just hope that I, Da Jing, will never have such a situation."
Li Changsheng said with a smile: "With a benevolent, generous, wise and cautious prince like His Royal Highness, how could such a situation happen to Dajing?"
Jing Baiyu looked at all the things in front of him, and was really depressed in his heart, but when he heard Li Changsheng's words suddenly, he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up again.
"Foreign ministers pay homage to His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
Someone trotted up to the horse and saluted very respectfully.
Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu looked down, it was Mr Ling Yan, the doctor.
Lang Zhongling said humbly: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been exhausted all the way. It is really hard work. The foreign minister is ordered by the second prince to invite the two of you to stay in the palace."
Originally, outsiders, whether they are envoys or princes, when they enter the capital of another country, they all have to stay in the post house, and they are not allowed to enter the palace to rest.But the situation is different now, although the second prince Liying has entered the capital, and he is about to inherit the throne of Li Kingdom, but this matter is still short of the last trembling.
Maybe there is a remnant party from Shangzhu Kingdom in the palace, so now Liying trusts Jing Baiyu and Li Changsheng even more, so he invites them to the palace to rest, so that they can take care of each other.
"My lord, I am sorry." Jing Baiyu nodded.
"Prince Jing's words are serious." Lang Zhongling hurriedly said: "Please! Please go this way."
Lang Zhongling led the way, Jing Baiyu rode his horse to follow, Li Changsheng immediately urged his horse forward, and walked side by side with Jing Baiyu.
Li Changsheng said in a low voice, "Prince, be careful."
"Don't worry, Li Ying is not the kind of ungrateful person." Jing Baiyu said.
With special permission from Liying, Jing Baiyu could bring the guards into the palace with him. This time, Jing Baiyu was surrounded by soldiers behind him.
What's more, if Liying wants to steadily ascend to the throne, she still needs to rely on Jing Baiyu's help, so it is absolutely impossible for her to suddenly turn her back.
Li Changsheng shook his head, and said: "Changsheng is not talking about the second prince's departure, but the doctor in front of you, Ling Yan."
"What?" Jing Baiyu Nahan turned his head to look at Li Changsheng.
Just now, when the doctor ordered Lord Yan to speak, Li Changsheng and Lord Yan met their eyes.
Lang Zhongling's gaze kept wandering and seemed to flicker. Although the whole person seemed extremely humble, in Li Changsheng's eyes, this Lang Zhongling clearly had a calculating look on his face.
Perhaps to test Li Changsheng's idea, the system suddenly appeared.
【#Friendship Overview#】
[Langzhong Order: -80]
Li Changsheng had indeed seen a negative favorability score, but he had never seen such a high negative favorability score.
Doctor Ling Yan and Li Changshengsu have never met before, this is the first time they meet today, how could they have such a low favorability?
Li Changsheng felt that this matter was a bit strange.
Anyway, it's not as smooth as it looks on the surface...
Jing Baiyu glanced at the doctor in front of him in surprise, then nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
Right now it was not easy for Lang Zhongling to hear them whispering, so Jing Baiyu didn't ask any more, he believed in Li Changsheng in his heart, no matter what Li Changsheng said.
A group of people went to the palace, Lang Zhongling called someone to arrange a palace for them to stay in, and led them to rest.
Jing Baiyu excused that he was tired, and the doctor immediately retreated knowingly. Soon, only Jing Baiyu and Li Changsheng were left in the hall.
Jing Baiyu carefully looked at the door, then walked back and said in a low voice, "It seems that Lang Zhongling has left."
Li Changsheng nodded and said: "Lang Zhongling seems to have some problems, please be careful, Prince."
"What's wrong with Lang Zhongling?" Jing Baiyu was curious.
Li Changsheng couldn't tell for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, since the appearance of Lang Zhongling, there have been doubts everywhere.
Li Changsheng said: "It's hard to make a conclusion at the moment, but Lang Zhongling is indeed weird. His Royal Highness, you might as well think about it."
Lang Zhongling said that the traitor Shangzhu had already fled because he was afraid of leaving Ying.First of all, this is really surprising.
Shangzhu Kingdom has a lot of troops stationed in the capital, and there is enough food in the city, and he has strictly controlled the entire government, kicking out all those who disobey discipline.
As such...
Why did Shangzhu Kingdom flee without a fight?
Li Changsheng said: "If the Shangzhu Kingdom fights us to the end, the food for the people in this capital cannot be guaranteed, but the food in the palace is definitely enough to last for a year and a half. It is very sufficient, but the Shangzhu Kingdom chooses to escape at this time .”
"That's right..." Jing Baiyu nodded, and said, "According to what you mean... then Shangzhu Kingdom may be in the same group as Lang Zhongling."
Shangzhu Kingdom united with Lang Zhongling, one pretended to run away, and the other pretended to open the door to greet them.
At that time, as long as they do a little trick, they can besiege their army in the capital and kill them by surprise!
"But... Shangzhu State killed Lang Zhongling's family, how could Lang Zhongling be with Shang Zhu State?" Jing Baiyu was puzzled.
Li Changsheng laughed, and said, "His Royal Highness, it's not just that the Tian family has no ties to speak of, in fact, many high-ranking and powerful people are like this."
When Li Changsheng said this, Jing Baiyu suddenly understood.
The Yan family belonged to nobles from the country, both Lang Zhongling's father and elder brother had much higher official positions than him.And who said a family is a faction?The parties they originally supported were different.
Li Changsheng said quietly: "This Lang Zhongling died of his father and elder brother. I am afraid that now in the Yan family, he has become the most influential person. From this point of view, he should indeed thank Shangzhu Kingdom."
"That makes sense." Jing Baiyu nodded and said, "If this is a trap, what should I do?"
"Be safe and don't be impatient." Li Changsheng said with a smile: "They dare to open the door to invite us in. There is no reason for us not to come in. Now that the capital has been occupied by us, the prince must not let the soldiers relax their vigilance, and must not let the enemy take advantage of it." chance."
"Okay." Jing Baiyu said: "Let them regret the big fat they gave up."
"That's exactly the reason." Li Changsheng said.
The large army entered the capital city smoothly, as if they were daydreaming.It has been a long time since he left the country without a monarch, and now that the second prince has returned as a hero, he is naturally convinced by the ministers, who proposed that a grand enthronement ceremony be held in the near future.
Although the enthronement is urgent, it should not be too hasty and simple. Naturally, a good date should be chosen, and it should be set after five days.
Seeing that Li Ying was about to become the monarch of the Li country, in order to thank Jing Guo and Jiang Guo for their assistance, Li Ying specially prepared a celebration banquet tonight.
Of course, the banquet was not just about drinking and eating meat, but Liying also expressed her gratitude and formed a covenant with Jing Guo and Jiang Guo, promising to sell salt and copper to Jing Guo and Jiang Guo at the best price in the future.
This is the first time for the little prince Jing Baiyu to attend a banquet in another country, so naturally he has to be careful.
Jing Baiyu tried on a few clothes, stood in front of the mirror and took photos, raised her chest and said, "Li Changsheng, come and take a look, is this prince handsome and handsome?"
"I think this one looks good, how about adding a cloak?"
"Li Changsheng?"
"Where have people gone?"
Jing Baiyu couldn't hear Li Changsheng's answer, turned around and found that Li Changsheng was not in the room, no wonder he refused to answer.
Jing Baiyu went out in amazement, searched around and said, "Li Changsheng? Where did he go again?"
Li Changsheng was in the hall just now, but suddenly there was something urgent, so he left the hall while Jing Baiyu was not paying attention.
[System prompt: Hidden mission has been activated]
[Hidden Mission: Unforgettable! 】
[Reminder: After completing the hidden mission, you can use the "Career Change Card"]
[Reminder: There is only one opportunity to clear the hidden mission. If the mission fails and the "Career Change Card" becomes invalid, it will enter the 1th be ending]
[be ending 77: become a eunuch forever]
Li Changsheng watched the system prompt...
"It seems that this be ending is a bit serious..." Li Changsheng said to himself in a low voice, "It seems that this hidden mission can only succeed, not fail."
[Hidden mission: Please "save the beauty" at the banquet tonight, and deliver the fatal blow to the current assassin for the little prince Jing Baiyu! 】
[Reminder: During the activation of the hidden mission, the player's pain perception is 0, so don't worry]
Li Changsheng frowned immediately, someone wanted to assassinate Jing Baiyu?
In Liguo Palace, all the palace people are constantly busy, and a grand celebration banquet will be held tonight, which involves Liguo, Jingguo and Jiangguo, so naturally they cannot be neglected.
Because Lang Zhongling opened the city gate and welcomed the second prince into the city, he was already the number one celebrity in front of Li Ying.
"Be careful there."
"Be careful, don't break it."
"Let's arrange this side more neatly."
Lang Zhongling was patrolling the banquet hall. He walked to a table, leaned over and moved the chopsticks on the table. They were arranged meticulously, and then he showed a reassuring smile.
A servant hurried into the hall, walked up to Lang Zhongling and whispered something in Lang Zhongling's ear.
Lang Zhongling nodded, without saying a word, the servant retreated first, and then Lang Zhongling also walked out of the banquet hall.
Lang Zhongling walked in a hurry, picked up the remote path all the way, and quickly bypassed the patrolling guards, and came to an extremely remote palace.
The palace was extremely gray and dilapidated, and under the shade of the trees, it looked extremely gloomy and cold.
"Squeak-"
Lang Zhongling opened the door and entered the hall, the inside was pitch black, with the light coming in from the door, a tall and majestic figure could be vaguely seen inside.
"Lang Zhongling, you are here!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
"Master Shangzhu Kingdom..." Lang Zhongling turned around and closed the door, and then walked over, not daring to light the lamp, and said in a low voice, "Why did your lord appear here? It's really too dangerous!"
That tall and stalwart figure turned out to be the traitor Shangzhu who had fled from the capital.
Shang Zhuguo laughed, and said disdainfully: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. After hearing what you said, Liying must think that the old man has escaped, and this palace is the safest place."
"But..." Lang Zhongling hesitated, seemingly worried.
"Don't worry." Shangzhu Guo said: "You just need to do your own thing well, and don't care about the rest."
"Yes, yes," Lang Zhongling said, "My villain understands that Jing Baiyu, the young prince of Jing Kingdom, will definitely be killed at the banquet today! Lord Shangzhu Kingdom, please rest assured."
"En." Shang Zhuguo nodded, and said: "It's the Crown Prince of Jing Kingdom who is meddling in his own business. Without him, how could that kid from Liying break into Luanshan City? How could he break into the capital city? Hehe!"
Shangzhu State sneered, and said, "I'd like to see, who can help Liying when the crown prince of Jing State dies? At that time, Jing State soldiers' morale will be unstable, and Li Ying will have to face the Jing State people's questioning." , he is unable to protect himself!"
"That's right, my lord, your strategy is foolproof." Lang Zhongling patted the horse with a smile, and said, "At that time, we will not only be able to take down Li Ying, but also swallow the army of Jing Kingdom in one gulp. First kill Jing Baiyu, and then kill Liying, Lord Shangzhu's plan is perfect."
Shang Zhuguo sneered and stopped talking.
"It's just..." The Lang Zhongling hesitated a bit, and said, "It's just that there is a little problem..."
"What? But it doesn't matter." Shangzhu Guo said.
Lang Zhongling said: "I don't know if Lord Shangzhu has heard of Li Changsheng!"
Shang Zhuguo nodded and said, "It's just an eunuch."
How could Li Changsheng be summed up by the word "eunuch" as he was the Minister of Chang and he was also a lieutenant of the Dichuan Garden Army.
What Shangzhu Guo said was very contemptuous, obviously he looked down on Li Changsheng.
Lang Zhongling said: "My lord, this Li Changsheng is a powerful person. Li Ying's child was able to successfully enter Luanshan City, thanks to Li Changsheng's advice. Not only that..."
Lang Zhong Lingshen said mysteriously: "I heard that the little prince of Jing Kingdom is actually just a puppet. In fact, this Prince Jing listens to Li Changsheng's words!"
"Hehe!" Shang Zhuguo sneered, and said, "No matter how powerful Li Changsheng is, he's still just a eunuch and eunuch! Without that little crown prince Jing Baiyu as a cover, what else could he do? It's completely impossible. "
"Yes, yes," Lang Zhongling said: "My lord, what you said is exactly, if you want to get rid of Li Changsheng, the fastest way is to get rid of Jing Baiyu, so that he can no longer be a tyrant."
"What happened tonight," Shang Zhuguo squinted his eyes and said, "You must do it well, don't let me down."
"The villain obeys." Lang Zhongling said.
Jing Baiyu finally found Li Changsheng, and said, "Li Changsheng, what are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Li Changsheng turned his head to look at him, couldn't help but raised his hand and patted Jing Baiyu's head lightly, and said, "It's nothing, come out and have a look at the scenery."
"What's so interesting about this?" Jing Baiyu said, "It's not far from Dajing's palace."
The territory of Jing Country is large, and Li Country is rich in products. The palaces on both sides are magnificent and magnificent. At first glance, they are indeed very similar.
Jing Baiyu took his hand and said, "After a few days, when Liguo is stable, we can go back to Dajing! Father will definitely praise me at that time, and I will ask Father to give you a promotion." ! What kind of official do you want? You just tell me."
Li Changsheng smiled and said: "I am an eunuch who has become a captain of the military academy, and I have already been strongly opposed by all the veterans. If I am promoted to other official positions, I am afraid that I will provoke criticism from the prince."
Foreign relatives and eunuchs have always been the largest parties opposed by courtiers.Especially for someone like Li Changsheng who has made great progress all the way, how can anyone not be jealous?
As many people want to curry favor with Li Changsheng, so many people want to crush Li Changsheng to death.
As an eunuch right now, Li Changsheng did have many inconveniences, not to mention physical problems, other troubles continued.
As an eunuch, the road ahead is indeed not smooth enough.
The "Career Change Card" issued by the system to Li Changsheng really made him very excited. If he can really get rid of his current eunuch status from now on, that would be the best.
however……
The hidden mission has been released, and the meaning of the system couldn't be clearer, it wants Li Changsheng to "escape to death".
Li Changsheng looked down at the little prince Jing Baiyu beside him. If he suddenly "died" in front of Jing Baiyu, I wonder if Jing Baiyu would...
Jing Baiyu looked up at Li Changsheng strangely, and said, "Li Changsheng, why are you so strange, are you sick?"
Jing Baiyu tried her best to raise her hand, trying to touch Li Changsheng's forehead, but he was not tall enough to keep up with Li Changsheng, who was only 1.9 meters tall, and he couldn't touch Li Changsheng's head even if he raised his hand.
Jing Baiyu pouted and said, "Bend down a little, and I'll see if you're sick."
Li Changsheng smiled lightly, bent down obediently, and put Jing Baiyu's little hand on his forehead.
Jing Baiyu said in amazement: "There is no fever, and the forehead is not cold. Oh, I know, it must be acclimatization. The food in Liguo is different from ours, and I am not used to it. But it doesn't matter, after a while In a few days, we will be able to go back, after you go back, you can take a good rest for a few days, how about it?"
"Okay." Li Changsheng said: "I will listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the palace banquet began immediately.Accompanied by Li Changsheng, the little prince Jing Baiyu went to the banquet together.
The second prince who was about to inherit the throne, Liying, had already entered the banquet a little earlier in order to express his gratitude, and was already present at this very moment.
When Li Changsheng entered the room with Jing Baiyu, Li Ying stepped forward quickly and said with a smile on his face, "Prince Jing, Lord Li."
"Foreign ministers pay homage to the monarch of Li country." Li Changsheng saluted respectfully.
Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet started, Li Ying is already the monarch of the Li country at this time, and the people around him also call him so respectfully.
Seeing Li Changsheng, Li Ying was both happy and disappointed, and Li Changsheng's "foreign minister" was really ear-piercing.
Li Ying forced a smile and said: "The banquet is ready, please invite Prince Jing and Lord Li to the table."
"Congratulations." Jing Baiyu cupped his hands at Li Ying like a little adult, and said it in a concise manner.
Immediately, Jing Baiyu took Li Changsheng's hand, entered the banquet, and the two sat down together.
Li Changsheng turned his head to look at Jing Baiyu, and said, "His Royal Highness, is it too indifferent? After all, today is different, and now Liying is already the monarch of Liguo."
"So what?" Jing Baiyu said a little displeased: "He's obviously prying the corner of the wall, why do you think I can laugh?"
Li Changsheng smiled, and said, "His Royal Highness, Changsheng is still here, and hasn't been pried away."
Jing Baiyu nodded, smiled triumphantly, and said, "That's right, don't even think about staying in Liguo, I won't let you here."
"Yes." Li Changsheng said.
After Li Changsheng could only say a few words, Jing Baiyu became happy again, looked down at the desk, and quietly stretched out his hand.
"His Royal Highness."
"I did nothing!"
When Li Changsheng opened his mouth, Jing Baiyu was startled, and Jing Baiyu hurriedly held back his hand in defense.
"pat-"
Something was scraped to the ground by Jing Baiyu's wide sleeve, making a crisp sound.
Li Changsheng said helplessly: "The prince is still young, it is not suitable for drinking, it is not good for your health."
It turned out that Jing Baiyu was just momentarily happy. Seeing several cans of wine neatly placed on the table, she couldn't help but want to taste what it tasted like.
But before he even touched the wine jar, Li Changsheng grabbed him and withdrew his hand in a hurry, pretending that he hadn't done anything.
The wine jar was not touched, but Jing Baiyu touched the chopsticks to the ground.
Li Changsheng stood up, bent down to pick up the chopsticks.
[System prompt: Hidden mission important props]
Li Changsheng suddenly saw the system prompt, and looked down at the...
"Tooth chopsticks..."
A label appeared on the chopsticks in Li Changsheng's hand.
He frowned, teeth and chopsticks are important props...
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"
At this time, someone walked over from the side with a smile.
Jing Baiyu turned his head to look at it, and was immediately lukewarm.Isn't the person who walked over with the wine glass the erratic doctor Ling Yan?
Because of Li Changsheng's words, Jing Baiyu was very wary of Lang Zhongling, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was not a good person.
"Master Yan." Li Changsheng cupped his hands, but he was very polite.
Lang Zhongling was smiling all over his face, but when he suddenly saw the tooth chopsticks in Li Changsheng's hand, his expression changed several times.
How could his insignificant expression escape Li Changsheng's gaze?
Li Changsheng's heart moved, and he suddenly understood eight or nine points.
Li Changsheng put the chopsticks back on the desk, and the doctor's expression improved a little.
Lang Zhongling smiled and continued, "Prince Jing really contributed a lot to your Majesty's safe return to the capital. The foreign ministers are very grateful. I have come here to toast Prince Jing three times. I hope His Highness Prince Jing will appreciate you."
Lang Zhongling raised the wine glass in his hand, and Jing Baiyu said: "My lord is serious. I, Da Jing, and Li Guo have always been on good terms. This trivial matter is nothing to worry about. The prince has been feeling unwell recently. This wine... forgive me, the prince. Can't drink."
Lang Zhongling hurriedly said: "Prince Jing misunderstood, how dare the ministers ask Prince Jing to drink, it's just that the ministers toasted three cups of wine, Prince Jing please feel free, there is no need to reciprocate."
As he spoke, he drank the first glass of wine boldly.
Immediately Lang Zhongling beckoned and said, "Pour the wine."
A man dressed as a servant immediately bowed over with a jug in his hand, and respectfully poured Lang Zhongling a second glass of wine.

[Langzhong Order: -100]
【
Even if Li Changsheng was calm about things, he couldn't help but change his face at this moment.
It turns out there are worse options than dressing up as a eunuch...
Li Changsheng really didn't want to try to become a princess after becoming a eunuch.
For a while, Li Changsheng didn't care about the olive branch that the second prince Liying threw at him, and focused all his attention on the "occupation change card".
There is no choice at all in choosing one of the three careers. Li Changsheng will never touch the third choice. As for the first choice, it is not a smart choice, so the three choices instantly become one, and only the second choice...
"Lord Li?" Second Prince Liying was still speaking sincerely. Seeing Li Changsheng's silence, he thought his words were not sincere enough, so he hurriedly continued.
"Lord Li, don't worry. Although my Dali is not as big as the land of Jing, I will never treat you badly. Dali has inexhaustible salt and iron. If Lord Li is willing to stay in Dali, I will wait for you. When I return to the capital, I can make you Lord Li the Marquis of Nanxu."
Liying really paid for it all at once. Nanxu is located within Liguo, and it is the place with the most abundant copper mines. It can be called a local tyrant among local tyrants. Jiang Guofeng, etc., there is no place that can catch up with Nanxu's wealth.
"Second prince," Li Changsheng was distracted for a while, then returned to his seat, smiled modestly, and said: "Second prince fell in love wrongly, foreign ministers dare not take credit for it."
What a smart person Li Ying is, once he heard Li Changsheng's words, he knew that he was going to reject him.
The olive branch thrown by Li Ying is indeed enough to tempt.However, Li Changsheng was the calmest person, and he was not the one who was seduced by the small profit in front of him.If he wanted to develop for a long time, Li Changsheng was certain that following Jing Baiyu would be the most appropriate.
If he can always follow the little prince Jing Baiyu, after a few years, what he can get is not just a small place like Nanxu, but...
Liying was a little unwilling, but she couldn't say anything else, so she hurriedly interrupted Li Changsheng, saying: "Master Li, don't refuse me in a hurry, why not... why don't you go back and think about it, if Li Changsheng My lord has figured it out, you can come and find me anytime."
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your kindness." Li Changsheng didn't say any more, he bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.
The little prince Jing Baiyu went back to the room where he stayed alone, already very sleepy but unable to fall asleep.
"I'll come back after talking for a while, you big villain, you don't keep your word!"
Jing Baiyu rolled over and sat up with his rabbit puppet in his arms, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Liying definitely wants to take Li Changsheng away..."
Although Jing Baiyu was young, she saw clearly enough that she guessed Liying's thoughts right away.
"Ugh--"
Jing Baiyu sighed like a little adult, hugged the rabbit puppet, stood up, pushed open the door and went to the courtyard outside, found a porch and sat on the floor.
The bunny puppet was held in Jing Baiyu's arms, his big ears were trembling by the night wind, and he looked a little cold.
To be honest, Jing Baiyu was also a bit cold, now that it was winter, the night wind was especially cold and hard, making Jing Baiyu's little face ache.
"Ugh--"
Jing Baiyu sighed again, holding her fleshy cheeks, half-raised her head and looked at the dark sky.
"Whoa-"
There was a soft sound, before turning back in time, Jing Baiyu had been wrapped from head to tail by a thick cloak, and was directly covered underneath, covering it tightly.
"Oh, I'm suffocating." Jing Baiyu yelled in a muffled voice from below.
He opened the cloak, and saw Li Changsheng's always smiling and gentle face.
Jing Baiyu stared and said, "Why did you show up suddenly and bury the prince with a cloak!"
Li Changsheng said: "Excuse me, Your Highness is looking up at the sky at 45 degrees?"
"What 45?" Jing Baiyu was confused for a while, and said, "I came back so late, I told the prince to wait!"
Li Changsheng wrapped Jing Baiyu in a cloak, and said: "His Royal Highness should rest first, why wait for Changsheng here? It's very cold outside, if the prince is ill, I'm afraid he will suffer again."
Jing Baiyu said: "Who is waiting for you here on purpose. It's just...just that the brazier in the room is not very hot. I want to see when you will come back and ask you to light the fire."
"Yes, yes," Li Changsheng bent down, suddenly picked up Jing Baiyu, and said, "Go back."
"Hey, Li Changsheng!" Jing Baiyu kicked his calf twice and said, "It's too embarrassing, you put me down, don't you hear me, don't hug me."
Li Changsheng said: "Your Highness, don't move around, be careful that you will fall."
"what--"
Li Changsheng said, pretending to let go, Jing Baiyu was taken aback, the moment of weightlessness was really scary.He hurriedly ignored other things, and immediately stretched out his arms to hug Li Changsheng, his eyes were wide open, and his face looked shocked.
Li Changsheng laughed in a low voice, then carried Jing Baiyu into the house, closed the door, and added some charcoal to the brazier.
Jing Baiyu lay on the quilt, and immediately relaxed a lot.He closed his eyes, but still didn't feel sleepy...
"Li Changsheng..." Jing Baiyu asked in a low voice, seemingly casually, "What did Liying tell you?"
Li Changsheng smiled, and did not answer Jing Baiyu's question, but instead said: "I just thanked the second prince for his wrong love, and I came back. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, there was silence in the room, and Jing Baiyu seemed to have fallen asleep.
After a while, Jing Baiyu turned over, facing inward, with an irresistible smile on the corner of her mouth...
The army assisting the second prince to leave Ying even broke through the gate of Luanshan City.The news spread like wildfire, within two or three days, it almost spread throughout the Li country.
Shangzhu Kingdom murdered the king, and even slaughtered the princes and ministers who resisted him.Because of the need for troops to suppress these rebels, urgent conscription was used to expand the suppression army.
After conscripting soldiers, they naturally had to feed these soldiers, and the military pay increased, and the treasury could not support the expenditure, so Shangzhu Kingdom issued another order to increase taxes.
This time, not only the prince and ministers opposed Shangzhu Kingdom, but even ordinary people complained.
Just when the Shangzhu Kingdom aroused public outrage, the second prince of the Li Kingdom left his body and suddenly drove straight in. He saw that after passing through Luanshan City, he would be able to attack the capital all the way in a few days and behead the traitor of the Shangzhu Kingdom.
It's only a few days' journey from Luanshan City to Liguo's capital city. If you hurry up, you will arrive in two days.They are now marching in a large force, so it is inevitable that their footsteps will be slower, but they can enter the capital within five days at most.
Luanshan City is a border city of Liguo, so the city gate is extremely strong and blessed with natural dangers, so it is naturally difficult to break through.However, after passing through Luanshan City, the gates inside the country are no longer so hard, so they are nothing to be afraid of.
In addition to the other city guards, they heard that Jing Guo's army was invincible and broke through the gates of Luanshan City in one day. How could they not be afraid?
What's more, this army was led by the famous righteous division. The officials who guarded the city along the way wavered in their hearts. Finally, they simply opened the city gate and took the initiative to welcome the second prince back.
On this day, the large army moved forward rapidly, and the soldiers in front suddenly turned their horses' heads, and the horses came galloping fast.
"Report!"
The soldier got off his horse and knelt down to the ground, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, Lord Li! It's the capital city of Liguo!"
The gate of the capital city was right in front of him, Jing Baiyu opened his eyes wide in excitement, and rode on a tall horse trying to look forward, and sure enough, he saw the faint gray city wall.
Li Changsheng smiled and said, "The journey of the past few days has finally arrived."
"Great!" Jing Baiyu was overjoyed.
After conquering the capital city of Li Kingdom, the second prince can become the monarch of Li Kingdom, and Jing Baiyu can also return to Jing Kingdom with glory.
Jing Baiyu is only eight years old, if he can make extraordinary achievements smoothly, after returning to Jing country, no one will dare to underestimate this young prince.
Jing Baiyu said loudly: "Very well, rectify the soldiers and call for formation!"
The army had already approached the city, and quickly formed a formation. Some soldiers came out and shouted at the city gate.
"Don't fight, don't fight!"
On the top of the city gate, there was movement in an instant. Someone stood anxiously on the top of the city tower, waved to the bottom, and shouted: "Don't hit, don't hit! They are all our own people! There are people in the city, please don't fight!"
Jing Baiyu raised his head and asked Li Changsheng, "Who is that?"
Li Changsheng was not very familiar with the situation in Liguo, so he could only say, "I'll go and find out."
Before Li Changsheng could go, the second prince, Liying, had already walked over holding the reins.
Liying smiled and said, "It's Lang Zhongling!"
The Lang Zhongling on the tower was about thirty years old, he was an acquaintance of Liying.The Yan family can be said to be a well-known aristocrat in Liguo, Lang Zhongling's father is Liguo's prime minister, and his elder brother is also Liguo's general.
Lang Zhongling yelled at the city gate for a while, and then he heard the sound of the city gate opening rumblingly.
Lang Zhongling ran all the way down from the city gate building, and ran out of the city gate alone.
"Second Prince! Your Highness Second Prince!"
Lang Zhongling ran to Li Ying's horse, and "Gudong" knelt on the ground, with a teary face, crying: "The minister is here to pick you up! Please come to the city to preside over the overall situation!"
The gate of the capital was suddenly breached without attacking. Lang Zhongling knelt in front of Li Ying, and Li Ying said in surprise, "Master Yan, this is... what happened in the city?"
Lang Zhongling burst into tears and said: "Returning to the second prince, the traitor went to the Zhu Kingdom, and because he heard about the second prince's soldiers approaching the city, he was already afraid of running away, so he fled the capital with a few relatives this morning!"
"Shangzhu country has escaped?" Liying was surprised, but after thinking about it, it is a good thing that Shangzhu country has escaped...
If the Shangzhu Kingdom fights them to the end, it will inevitably start a war in the capital, and the people will have no means of living at that time, this is not what Li Ying wants to see.
As for the fleeing Shangzhu Kingdom, Liying can have people hunt him down with all their might, so he won't be able to escape very far.
"It's just..." Liying was still puzzled, and said, "Why does Lang Zhongling suffer so much when the traitor escapes?"
When Lang Zhongling heard Liying's words, he couldn't stop crying again, crying until he was dying, and then he said intermittently: "The second prince doesn't know... During the past few days when Zhu Kingdom ruled the capital, the ministers who disobeyed his orders were imprisoned and beheaded, and the father and brother of the humble officials... were not spared, all...all..."
When Lang Zhongling said this, he was choked with sobs and could no longer speak.
Liying was furious, and said, "What did you say? Both the prime minister and the general... were killed?"
Lang Zhongling just nodded and couldn't say a word at all.
Lang Zhongling's loyal family, because they tried their best to resist the atrocities of Shangzhu Kingdom, were ordered by Shangzhu Kingdom to massacre nearly half of them.
Lang Zhongling said: "I saw it with my own eyes, Shangzhu Kingdom killed my father and brother! The traitor not only killed my brother and father, but also made people flog his corpse and left it in the wilderness. The corpses of father and brother are buried."
"There's no reason for that!" Li Ying clenched her fists tightly and said, "Shangzhu Kingdom is really hateful, but..."
"Ying'er," Liang Fenghe beside him said in a low voice, "it's better to enter the city first, lest others take advantage of it."
"Uncle is right." Li Ying nodded and said, "Go to the city first!"
Liying gave an order, and the large army began to enter the city rumblingly.
Inside the capital city of Liguo, it looks a bit depressed. During these days, the people's life is not very satisfactory.
When they entered the city gate and walked to the imperial palace, some ministers had heard the news and came out to welcome the second prince to leave.
However, looking around, the number of officials who appeared was less than half, and it seemed that there were very few officials.
It's not that the remaining officials have any opinion on the second prince's departure from Ying, but these days, in order to stabilize his position, Shangzhu Kingdom will put officials who oppose him into prison, torture them, or even kill them directly. Officials who can welcome the second prince's departure, That's all.
Li Ying's eyes were red, the scene in the capital was much worse than he expected.
Jing Baiyu rode on the horse, looked around to the left and right, and couldn't stop sighing "ah".
Li Changsheng said: "Why is the prince sighing?"
Jing Baiyu said: "It's nothing... I just hope that I, Da Jing, will never have such a situation."
Li Changsheng said with a smile: "With a benevolent, generous, wise and cautious prince like His Royal Highness, how could such a situation happen to Dajing?"
Jing Baiyu looked at all the things in front of him, and was really depressed in his heart, but when he heard Li Changsheng's words suddenly, he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up again.
"Foreign ministers pay homage to His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
Someone trotted up to the horse and saluted very respectfully.
Li Changsheng and Jing Baiyu looked down, it was Mr Ling Yan, the doctor.
Lang Zhongling said humbly: "His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been exhausted all the way. It is really hard work. The foreign minister is ordered by the second prince to invite the two of you to stay in the palace."
Originally, outsiders, whether they are envoys or princes, when they enter the capital of another country, they all have to stay in the post house, and they are not allowed to enter the palace to rest.But the situation is different now, although the second prince Liying has entered the capital, and he is about to inherit the throne of Li Kingdom, but this matter is still short of the last trembling.
Maybe there is a remnant party from Shangzhu Kingdom in the palace, so now Liying trusts Jing Baiyu and Li Changsheng even more, so he invites them to the palace to rest, so that they can take care of each other.
"My lord, I am sorry." Jing Baiyu nodded.
"Prince Jing's words are serious." Lang Zhongling hurriedly said: "Please! Please go this way."
Lang Zhongling led the way, Jing Baiyu rode his horse to follow, Li Changsheng immediately urged his horse forward, and walked side by side with Jing Baiyu.
Li Changsheng said in a low voice, "Prince, be careful."
"Don't worry, Li Ying is not the kind of ungrateful person." Jing Baiyu said.
With special permission from Liying, Jing Baiyu could bring the guards into the palace with him. This time, Jing Baiyu was surrounded by soldiers behind him.
What's more, if Liying wants to steadily ascend to the throne, she still needs to rely on Jing Baiyu's help, so it is absolutely impossible for her to suddenly turn her back.
Li Changsheng shook his head, and said: "Changsheng is not talking about the second prince's departure, but the doctor in front of you, Ling Yan."
"What?" Jing Baiyu Nahan turned his head to look at Li Changsheng.
Just now, when the doctor ordered Lord Yan to speak, Li Changsheng and Lord Yan met their eyes.
Lang Zhongling's gaze kept wandering and seemed to flicker. Although the whole person seemed extremely humble, in Li Changsheng's eyes, this Lang Zhongling clearly had a calculating look on his face.
Perhaps to test Li Changsheng's idea, the system suddenly appeared.
【#Friendship Overview#】
[Langzhong Order: -80]
Li Changsheng had indeed seen a negative favorability score, but he had never seen such a high negative favorability score.
Doctor Ling Yan and Li Changshengsu have never met before, this is the first time they meet today, how could they have such a low favorability?
Li Changsheng felt that this matter was a bit strange.
Anyway, it's not as smooth as it looks on the surface...
Jing Baiyu glanced at the doctor in front of him in surprise, then nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
Right now it was not easy for Lang Zhongling to hear them whispering, so Jing Baiyu didn't ask any more, he believed in Li Changsheng in his heart, no matter what Li Changsheng said.
A group of people went to the palace, Lang Zhongling called someone to arrange a palace for them to stay in, and led them to rest.
Jing Baiyu excused that he was tired, and the doctor immediately retreated knowingly. Soon, only Jing Baiyu and Li Changsheng were left in the hall.
Jing Baiyu carefully looked at the door, then walked back and said in a low voice, "It seems that Lang Zhongling has left."
Li Changsheng nodded and said: "Lang Zhongling seems to have some problems, please be careful, Prince."
"What's wrong with Lang Zhongling?" Jing Baiyu was curious.
Li Changsheng couldn't tell for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, since the appearance of Lang Zhongling, there have been doubts everywhere.
Li Changsheng said: "It's hard to make a conclusion at the moment, but Lang Zhongling is indeed weird. His Royal Highness, you might as well think about it."
Lang Zhongling said that the traitor Shangzhu had already fled because he was afraid of leaving Ying.First of all, this is really surprising.
Shangzhu Kingdom has a lot of troops stationed in the capital, and there is enough food in the city, and he has strictly controlled the entire government, kicking out all those who disobey discipline.
As such...
Why did Shangzhu Kingdom flee without a fight?
Li Changsheng said: "If the Shangzhu Kingdom fights us to the end, the food for the people in this capital cannot be guaranteed, but the food in the palace is definitely enough to last for a year and a half. It is very sufficient, but the Shangzhu Kingdom chooses to escape at this time .”
"That's right..." Jing Baiyu nodded, and said, "According to what you mean... then Shangzhu Kingdom may be in the same group as Lang Zhongling."
Shangzhu Kingdom united with Lang Zhongling, one pretended to run away, and the other pretended to open the door to greet them.
At that time, as long as they do a little trick, they can besiege their army in the capital and kill them by surprise!
"But... Shangzhu State killed Lang Zhongling's family, how could Lang Zhongling be with Shang Zhu State?" Jing Baiyu was puzzled.
Li Changsheng laughed, and said, "His Royal Highness, it's not just that the Tian family has no ties to speak of, in fact, many high-ranking and powerful people are like this."
When Li Changsheng said this, Jing Baiyu suddenly understood.
The Yan family belonged to nobles from the country, both Lang Zhongling's father and elder brother had much higher official positions than him.And who said a family is a faction?The parties they originally supported were different.
Li Changsheng said quietly: "This Lang Zhongling died of his father and elder brother. I am afraid that now in the Yan family, he has become the most influential person. From this point of view, he should indeed thank Shangzhu Kingdom."
"That makes sense." Jing Baiyu nodded and said, "If this is a trap, what should I do?"
"Be safe and don't be impatient." Li Changsheng said with a smile: "They dare to open the door to invite us in. There is no reason for us not to come in. Now that the capital has been occupied by us, the prince must not let the soldiers relax their vigilance, and must not let the enemy take advantage of it." chance."
"Okay." Jing Baiyu said: "Let them regret the big fat they gave up."
"That's exactly the reason." Li Changsheng said.
The large army entered the capital city smoothly, as if they were daydreaming.It has been a long time since he left the country without a monarch, and now that the second prince has returned as a hero, he is naturally convinced by the ministers, who proposed that a grand enthronement ceremony be held in the near future.
Although the enthronement is urgent, it should not be too hasty and simple. Naturally, a good date should be chosen, and it should be set after five days.
Seeing that Li Ying was about to become the monarch of the Li country, in order to thank Jing Guo and Jiang Guo for their assistance, Li Ying specially prepared a celebration banquet tonight.
Of course, the banquet was not just about drinking and eating meat, but Liying also expressed her gratitude and formed a covenant with Jing Guo and Jiang Guo, promising to sell salt and copper to Jing Guo and Jiang Guo at the best price in the future.
This is the first time for the little prince Jing Baiyu to attend a banquet in another country, so naturally he has to be careful.
Jing Baiyu tried on a few clothes, stood in front of the mirror and took photos, raised her chest and said, "Li Changsheng, come and take a look, is this prince handsome and handsome?"
"I think this one looks good, how about adding a cloak?"
"Li Changsheng?"
"Where have people gone?"
Jing Baiyu couldn't hear Li Changsheng's answer, turned around and found that Li Changsheng was not in the room, no wonder he refused to answer.
Jing Baiyu went out in amazement, searched around and said, "Li Changsheng? Where did he go again?"
Li Changsheng was in the hall just now, but suddenly there was something urgent, so he left the hall while Jing Baiyu was not paying attention.
[System prompt: Hidden mission has been activated]
[Hidden Mission: Unforgettable! 】
[Reminder: After completing the hidden mission, you can use the "Career Change Card"]
[Reminder: There is only one opportunity to clear the hidden mission. If the mission fails and the "Career Change Card" becomes invalid, it will enter the 1th be ending]
[be ending 77: become a eunuch forever]
Li Changsheng watched the system prompt...
"It seems that this be ending is a bit serious..." Li Changsheng said to himself in a low voice, "It seems that this hidden mission can only succeed, not fail."
[Hidden mission: Please "save the beauty" at the banquet tonight, and deliver the fatal blow to the current assassin for the little prince Jing Baiyu! 】
[Reminder: During the activation of the hidden mission, the player's pain perception is 0, so don't worry]
Li Changsheng frowned immediately, someone wanted to assassinate Jing Baiyu?
In Liguo Palace, all the palace people are constantly busy, and a grand celebration banquet will be held tonight, which involves Liguo, Jingguo and Jiangguo, so naturally they cannot be neglected.
Because Lang Zhongling opened the city gate and welcomed the second prince into the city, he was already the number one celebrity in front of Li Ying.
"Be careful there."
"Be careful, don't break it."
"Let's arrange this side more neatly."
Lang Zhongling was patrolling the banquet hall. He walked to a table, leaned over and moved the chopsticks on the table. They were arranged meticulously, and then he showed a reassuring smile.
A servant hurried into the hall, walked up to Lang Zhongling and whispered something in Lang Zhongling's ear.
Lang Zhongling nodded, without saying a word, the servant retreated first, and then Lang Zhongling also walked out of the banquet hall.
Lang Zhongling walked in a hurry, picked up the remote path all the way, and quickly bypassed the patrolling guards, and came to an extremely remote palace.
The palace was extremely gray and dilapidated, and under the shade of the trees, it looked extremely gloomy and cold.
"Squeak-"
Lang Zhongling opened the door and entered the hall, the inside was pitch black, with the light coming in from the door, a tall and majestic figure could be vaguely seen inside.
"Lang Zhongling, you are here!" the man said in a hoarse voice.
"Master Shangzhu Kingdom..." Lang Zhongling turned around and closed the door, and then walked over, not daring to light the lamp, and said in a low voice, "Why did your lord appear here? It's really too dangerous!"
That tall and stalwart figure turned out to be the traitor Shangzhu who had fled from the capital.
Shang Zhuguo laughed, and said disdainfully: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. After hearing what you said, Liying must think that the old man has escaped, and this palace is the safest place."
"But..." Lang Zhongling hesitated, seemingly worried.
"Don't worry." Shangzhu Guo said: "You just need to do your own thing well, and don't care about the rest."
"Yes, yes," Lang Zhongling said, "My villain understands that Jing Baiyu, the young prince of Jing Kingdom, will definitely be killed at the banquet today! Lord Shangzhu Kingdom, please rest assured."
"En." Shang Zhuguo nodded, and said: "It's the Crown Prince of Jing Kingdom who is meddling in his own business. Without him, how could that kid from Liying break into Luanshan City? How could he break into the capital city? Hehe!"
Shangzhu State sneered, and said, "I'd like to see, who can help Liying when the crown prince of Jing State dies? At that time, Jing State soldiers' morale will be unstable, and Li Ying will have to face the Jing State people's questioning." , he is unable to protect himself!"
"That's right, my lord, your strategy is foolproof." Lang Zhongling patted the horse with a smile, and said, "At that time, we will not only be able to take down Li Ying, but also swallow the army of Jing Kingdom in one gulp. First kill Jing Baiyu, and then kill Liying, Lord Shangzhu's plan is perfect."
Shang Zhuguo sneered and stopped talking.
"It's just..." The Lang Zhongling hesitated a bit, and said, "It's just that there is a little problem..."
"What? But it doesn't matter." Shangzhu Guo said.
Lang Zhongling said: "I don't know if Lord Shangzhu has heard of Li Changsheng!"
Shang Zhuguo nodded and said, "It's just an eunuch."
How could Li Changsheng be summed up by the word "eunuch" as he was the Minister of Chang and he was also a lieutenant of the Dichuan Garden Army.
What Shangzhu Guo said was very contemptuous, obviously he looked down on Li Changsheng.
Lang Zhongling said: "My lord, this Li Changsheng is a powerful person. Li Ying's child was able to successfully enter Luanshan City, thanks to Li Changsheng's advice. Not only that..."
Lang Zhong Lingshen said mysteriously: "I heard that the little prince of Jing Kingdom is actually just a puppet. In fact, this Prince Jing listens to Li Changsheng's words!"
"Hehe!" Shang Zhuguo sneered, and said, "No matter how powerful Li Changsheng is, he's still just a eunuch and eunuch! Without that little crown prince Jing Baiyu as a cover, what else could he do? It's completely impossible. "
"Yes, yes," Lang Zhongling said: "My lord, what you said is exactly, if you want to get rid of Li Changsheng, the fastest way is to get rid of Jing Baiyu, so that he can no longer be a tyrant."
"What happened tonight," Shang Zhuguo squinted his eyes and said, "You must do it well, don't let me down."
"The villain obeys." Lang Zhongling said.
Jing Baiyu finally found Li Changsheng, and said, "Li Changsheng, what are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Li Changsheng turned his head to look at him, couldn't help but raised his hand and patted Jing Baiyu's head lightly, and said, "It's nothing, come out and have a look at the scenery."
"What's so interesting about this?" Jing Baiyu said, "It's not far from Dajing's palace."
The territory of Jing Country is large, and Li Country is rich in products. The palaces on both sides are magnificent and magnificent. At first glance, they are indeed very similar.
Jing Baiyu took his hand and said, "After a few days, when Liguo is stable, we can go back to Dajing! Father will definitely praise me at that time, and I will ask Father to give you a promotion." ! What kind of official do you want? You just tell me."
Li Changsheng smiled and said: "I am an eunuch who has become a captain of the military academy, and I have already been strongly opposed by all the veterans. If I am promoted to other official positions, I am afraid that I will provoke criticism from the prince."
Foreign relatives and eunuchs have always been the largest parties opposed by courtiers.Especially for someone like Li Changsheng who has made great progress all the way, how can anyone not be jealous?
As many people want to curry favor with Li Changsheng, so many people want to crush Li Changsheng to death.
As an eunuch right now, Li Changsheng did have many inconveniences, not to mention physical problems, other troubles continued.
As an eunuch, the road ahead is indeed not smooth enough.
The "Career Change Card" issued by the system to Li Changsheng really made him very excited. If he can really get rid of his current eunuch status from now on, that would be the best.
however……
The hidden mission has been released, and the meaning of the system couldn't be clearer, it wants Li Changsheng to "escape to death".
Li Changsheng looked down at the little prince Jing Baiyu beside him. If he suddenly "died" in front of Jing Baiyu, I wonder if Jing Baiyu would...
Jing Baiyu looked up at Li Changsheng strangely, and said, "Li Changsheng, why are you so strange, are you sick?"
Jing Baiyu tried her best to raise her hand, trying to touch Li Changsheng's forehead, but he was not tall enough to keep up with Li Changsheng, who was only 1.9 meters tall, and he couldn't touch Li Changsheng's head even if he raised his hand.
Jing Baiyu pouted and said, "Bend down a little, and I'll see if you're sick."
Li Changsheng smiled lightly, bent down obediently, and put Jing Baiyu's little hand on his forehead.
Jing Baiyu said in amazement: "There is no fever, and the forehead is not cold. Oh, I know, it must be acclimatization. The food in Liguo is different from ours, and I am not used to it. But it doesn't matter, after a while In a few days, we will be able to go back, after you go back, you can take a good rest for a few days, how about it?"
"Okay." Li Changsheng said: "I will listen to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the palace banquet began immediately.Accompanied by Li Changsheng, the little prince Jing Baiyu went to the banquet together.
The second prince who was about to inherit the throne, Liying, had already entered the banquet a little earlier in order to express his gratitude, and was already present at this very moment.
When Li Changsheng entered the room with Jing Baiyu, Li Ying stepped forward quickly and said with a smile on his face, "Prince Jing, Lord Li."
"Foreign ministers pay homage to the monarch of Li country." Li Changsheng saluted respectfully.
Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet started, Li Ying is already the monarch of the Li country at this time, and the people around him also call him so respectfully.
Seeing Li Changsheng, Li Ying was both happy and disappointed, and Li Changsheng's "foreign minister" was really ear-piercing.
Li Ying forced a smile and said: "The banquet is ready, please invite Prince Jing and Lord Li to the table."
"Congratulations." Jing Baiyu cupped his hands at Li Ying like a little adult, and said it in a concise manner.
Immediately, Jing Baiyu took Li Changsheng's hand, entered the banquet, and the two sat down together.
Li Changsheng turned his head to look at Jing Baiyu, and said, "His Royal Highness, is it too indifferent? After all, today is different, and now Liying is already the monarch of Liguo."
"So what?" Jing Baiyu said a little displeased: "He's obviously prying the corner of the wall, why do you think I can laugh?"
Li Changsheng smiled, and said, "His Royal Highness, Changsheng is still here, and hasn't been pried away."
Jing Baiyu nodded, smiled triumphantly, and said, "That's right, don't even think about staying in Liguo, I won't let you here."
"Yes." Li Changsheng said.
After Li Changsheng could only say a few words, Jing Baiyu became happy again, looked down at the desk, and quietly stretched out his hand.
"His Royal Highness."
"I did nothing!"
When Li Changsheng opened his mouth, Jing Baiyu was startled, and Jing Baiyu hurriedly held back his hand in defense.
"pat-"
Something was scraped to the ground by Jing Baiyu's wide sleeve, making a crisp sound.
Li Changsheng said helplessly: "The prince is still young, it is not suitable for drinking, it is not good for your health."
It turned out that Jing Baiyu was just momentarily happy. Seeing several cans of wine neatly placed on the table, she couldn't help but want to taste what it tasted like.
But before he even touched the wine jar, Li Changsheng grabbed him and withdrew his hand in a hurry, pretending that he hadn't done anything.
The wine jar was not touched, but Jing Baiyu touched the chopsticks to the ground.
Li Changsheng stood up, bent down to pick up the chopsticks.
[System prompt: Hidden mission important props]
Li Changsheng suddenly saw the system prompt, and looked down at the...
"Tooth chopsticks..."
A label appeared on the chopsticks in Li Changsheng's hand.
He frowned, teeth and chopsticks are important props...
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"
At this time, someone walked over from the side with a smile.
Jing Baiyu turned his head to look at it, and was immediately lukewarm.Isn't the person who walked over with the wine glass the erratic doctor Ling Yan?
Because of Li Changsheng's words, Jing Baiyu was very wary of Lang Zhongling, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that he was not a good person.
"Master Yan." Li Changsheng cupped his hands, but he was very polite.
Lang Zhongling was smiling all over his face, but when he suddenly saw the tooth chopsticks in Li Changsheng's hand, his expression changed several times.
How could his insignificant expression escape Li Changsheng's gaze?
Li Changsheng's heart moved, and he suddenly understood eight or nine points.
Li Changsheng put the chopsticks back on the desk, and the doctor's expression improved a little.
Lang Zhongling smiled and continued, "Prince Jing really contributed a lot to your Majesty's safe return to the capital. The foreign ministers are very grateful. I have come here to toast Prince Jing three times. I hope His Highness Prince Jing will appreciate you."
Lang Zhongling raised the wine glass in his hand, and Jing Baiyu said: "My lord is serious. I, Da Jing, and Li Guo have always been on good terms. This trivial matter is nothing to worry about. The prince has been feeling unwell recently. This wine... forgive me, the prince. Can't drink."
Lang Zhongling hurriedly said: "Prince Jing misunderstood, how dare the ministers ask Prince Jing to drink, it's just that the ministers toasted three cups of wine, Prince Jing please feel free, there is no need to reciprocate."
As he spoke, he drank the first glass of wine boldly.
Immediately Lang Zhongling beckoned and said, "Pour the wine."
A man dressed as a servant immediately bowed over with a jug in his hand, and respectfully poured Lang Zhongling a second glass of wine.
