Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 177 Female Assassin

When the prison guards brought Li Jiancheng's oral order to Chen Ying's mansion in Dupan Lane, Chen Ying's first reaction was to run as fast as he could.However, Chen Ying was not stupid, he quietly asked Lao Zhou, the coachman, and Lao Zhou pretended to go around the front door and the backyard, and finally found that there was only one prison guard who came to Chen's residence.

A person is naturally not here to arrest himself.After much deliberation, Chen Yingsi decided to take a risk.Chen Ying anxiously followed the prison gate guards and warriors to the Ganlu Palace slowly, Chen Ying's muscles were tense, and he was about to run away.Chen Ying heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see the axeman.

"Chen, Chen Ying, the head of Lingzhou, kowtows to His Majesty!"

Contrary to Chen Ying's expectations, Li Yuan didn't say anything like "Ai Qing is exempt from courtesy and life", but sternly shouted: "Chen Ying, you are so courageous. As a general in the border town, you don't have fish charms and imperial edicts. Returning to Beijing privately, what crime should Supervisor Pei and Chen be guilty of!"

Hearing this, the happiest person is Li Daoxing, Duke of Guangning County.At this moment, his eyes were shining brightly, wishing he could act as the executioner immediately and tear Chen Ying's body to pieces.

Li Shimin didn't understand Li Yuan a bit. Although Chen Ying came to Chang'an alone, the Dingyuan Army was far away in Lingzhou. Believe in the imperial court.It can be said that at this time, no matter what reason is used to kill Chen Ying, for Datang, there will be a hundred disadvantages and no benefit.

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng quietly, but at this time Li Jiancheng looked calm and didn't even look at Chen Ying, nor did he look at Li Yuan, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Sweat dripped down Chen Ying's face in an instant: "Return to... Your Majesty, I am afraid!"

"Scared, what's the reason?" Li Yuan's tone became colder and his face became more and more gloomy. Li Yuan winked at Yu Yanzhang, the general of the guard on the left, and Yu Yanzhang nodded to show that he understood. What Li Yuan meant.Yu Yanzhang waved his hand lightly, and dozens of prison guard warriors wearing bright silver armor and holding sharp horizontal knives took a step forward in an orderly manner.

The horizontal knife in Chen Ying's hand had already been searched by the prison guards, but it was not unprepared for Chen Ying to come to the palace alone.He was wearing a folding shield under his arm. Although the shield is a defensive weapon, the sharp edge of the shield cannot penetrate the armor, but it should not be a big problem to cut Li Yuan's neck.

At this time, Chen Ying silently calculated in his mind that Li Yuan was ten steps away from him, and there must be hidden crossbowmen in the entire hall. As long as he activated it, he would have been shot into a hedgehog if he didn't touch Li Yuan.

Li Yuan took two or three steps forward, looking directly into Chen Ying's eyes, "Are you afraid of me?"

At this time, Li Yuan was only six paces away from Chen Ying, and Chen Ying made another calculation silently in his heart.If a strong crossbow shoots at him at a speed of fifty steps per breath, and the crossbowman in sight is far away fifty steps away, and he is so desperate for his life, after being hit by the arrow, relying on huge inertia, It should be able to hurt Li Yuan.

However, at this moment, Chen Ying noticed that Li Jiancheng's gaze had changed, even though it only passed away for a moment, Chen Ying still felt it subtly.Chen Ying pretended to be scared, and stammered: "Return...report...your majesty...your lord, I am very scared!"

Li Yuan took another step forward. Li Yuan knew how to use power. At this moment, Li Yuan was standing and Chen Ying was kneeling.

"Is this how I make you worthy of fear?" Li Yuan's voice suddenly raised three points: "Answer me, don't you?"

Sweat dripped down on Chen Ying's face, and there was a trembling voice in his voice: "I am very frightened. My previous officer, Liu Zhongzhi, asked me for a bribe. When I didn't agree, he falsely accused your majesty of treason. Your Majesty has learned a lot, but my second military observer was assassinated in Gaoping before he took office. Two consecutive military observers had accidents, what does your majesty think? What do people in the world think? Go, for fear of being framed by traitors and sycophants, you need to know that three people will become tigers, and the minister is afraid that rumors will run rampant. Even if the minister is full of mouths, he will not be able to tell clearly at that time. Therefore, the minister was in chaos when he learned that Li Daozong was assassinated in Gaoping by watching the army. Hastily ran back to Chang'an, and asked His Royal Highness to resign, His Majesty summoned you today, and I happened to have a book to play."

As he spoke, Chen Ying took out a memorial from his bosom.

Li Yuan took the memorial and began to read it.

Just the moment he saw Chen Ying's memorial, Li Yuan's face suddenly became very exciting.

"Tell the old man to return to his hometown, abandon his armor and return to the field?" Li Yuan closed the memorial, and threw it on Chen Ying's head: "The hair is not fully grown yet, and you want to tell your old man to return to your hometown?"

Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and other veteran officials burst out laughing upon hearing this.

Li Shimin also showed a playful smile on his face.Of course, he is also a general who has survived many battles, and he is very sensitive to such things as murderous aura, especially when Li Yuan walked into Chen Ying, Chen Ying exuded the most murderous aura.For some reason, the murderous aura on Chen Ying's body disappeared strangely.

Chen Ying picked up the memorial, put his hands over his head, and said respectfully: "Please give me your permission, I am really afraid, this official is really not easy to be an official, I don't want to be an official anymore, please let me give up When Jia returned to the land, I got the [-] mu of land rewarded by His Majesty. I can return to my hometown and be a small landlord with peace of mind. I can read and write books in my spare time, and entertain myself..."

Trust is the thing that can't be hurt by guessing the most. If you can test it one less time, you will test it one less time.If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were Li Jiancheng, with Li Jiancheng's trust in Chen Ying, Chen Ying would never let down Li Jiancheng's trust. However, Li Yuan's suspicion of Chen Ying made Chen Ying feel completely chilled.

Li Yuan is very superstitious about the art of the emperor. In fact, the so-called art of the emperor, to put it bluntly, is to slap a sweet date, and it will be a bad thing in later generations.After threatening Chen Yingtao, Li Yuan hated iron for being weak and said: "I, don't allow it, go back to Lingzhou, take your soldiers, and defend Lingzhou City. I will not hesitate to reward you. If not, the military law is ruthless."

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, please take back your order. This humble minister is too young to take on a big job. You should return to your hometown to farm."

Li Yuan showed a look of indecision: "Jian Pei, look, this matter?"

Pei Ji cupped his hands and said: "I think General Chen is mentally exhausted, why not let him go back to the mansion and take care of him for a while!"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's fine too!"

Li Yuan carefully observed Chen Ying's eyes, and Chen Ying deliberately showed ecstasy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

Without waiting for Li Yuan's orders, Chen Ying took out the seal of Lingzhou Chief, Dingyuan Junzhen, and half a piece of fish charm from his arms, put the helmet on the ground on the ground, and then walked out of the hall without looking back. He ran, especially when he reached the steps of His Royal Highness, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Li Yuan looked at Chen Ying's busy figure, dumbfounded: "This..."

Pei Ji had an incredulous expression on his face, and was speechless for a long time.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded.

Liu Wenjing was dumbfounded.

……

Chen Ying trotted all the way back to Marquis Wugong's mansion.Chen Yingyuan was originally appointed as the head of Lingzhou. According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, there were six halberds on the left and right in front of his private residence, declaring to people that the owner of the mansion here is a third-rank official of the imperial court.When Chen Ying returned to the mansion, looking at the twelve gate halberds felt a bit intrusive.

Chen Ying rushed to Si Yan and said, "Take all these halberds away!"

"Accepted?" Si Yan asked puzzledly: "Master Hou, how can you just accept it?"

"Whatever the fee, I'll take it if I say it!"

Si Yan shook his head, opened his mouth, finally sighed, and put away the door halberds one by one.

The news of Chen Ying's resignation to Li Yuan quickly spread throughout the mansion. All the servants, including Lan Er, looked at Chen Ying with a different look. Officials from the lower ranks of the third rank are all gone, what is going on?"

Lan'er doesn't understand Chen Ying very much, especially knowing that Chen Ying's resignation is his own hatred, which is even more distant.I was very unhappy in my heart, Lan'er's smallness also came up, not only she avoided Chen Ying, but even sisters Hongxiu and Lvzhu were supported by Lan'er like a spinning top, and they didn't even have time to talk to Chen Ying .

Looking at Lan'er's angry look, Chen Ying felt the unhappiness in his heart was swept away.Chen Ying naturally knew that Li Yuan was suspicious by nature. If he wanted Li Yuan to dispel his doubts, he simply resigned from office. Anyway, with Princess Yicheng's temperament, as long as Chu Luo Khan gained a firm foothold in the East Turkic Khanate, Princess Yicheng would definitely The demagogue Luo Khan Tilifu set up an attack on Datang.

If he was guarding Datang, Chuluo Khan would not dare to attack Lingzhou, but once he knew that he was not in Lingzhou, there would be absolutely no reason for Lifushe to let Lingzhou go, and he would definitely use Lingzhou as a place of shame. land.At that time, Lingzhou will become a big pit, whoever jumps will die, and I will only reluctantly come out of the mountain to manage Lingzhou under Li Yuan's repeated begging.

Naturally, you don't need to tell Lan'er about these things, and of course tell her, she won't understand either.

Lan'er is like a wayward child, supporting the busy people in the whole house, no one has time to talk to Chen Ying, and Chen Ying is not angry.Instead, he used the time to lay out the future Lingzhou development plan in detail.The iron and coal produced in Lingzhou can turn Lingzhou into an industrial base. Of course, Lingzhou's abundant salt can also be used as a competitive industry.

In addition to industry, Lingzhou's agriculture is naturally not spared.Chen Ying read some novels in later generations, in which it was suggested that one man and two horses could plow 150 mu a day. If this is the case, it should not be difficult for a common people to reclaim [-] mu or even [-] mu of land.Utilizing a large amount of barren land in Lingzhou, Lingzhou may not be able to be turned into a granary.If there is food and steel in Lingzhou, there is absolutely no room for the Turkic people to be active within three thousand miles.

In addition, Chen Ying also plans to develop the artificial cultivation of alfalfa, so that Lingzhou can become a state governor's office where horses, grain, grass, coal, iron, salt, etc. are thriving, so that Saishangjiangnan can truly live up to its name.

Writing and drawing in the study, Chen Ying unknowingly was so busy that it was time to light the lamp.It wasn't until Chen Ying's stomach growled that he got up to get someone to prepare dinner, but the moment Chen Ying got up, a cold light came over him.

Chen Ying was caught off guard, and avoided the fatal blow in embarrassment. He took down the horizontal knife from the screen wall, and with the knife in his hand, Chen Ying carefully sized up the assassin on the opposite side.Chen Ying gradually frowned.

This assassin in a black suit is petite, no more than 1.6 meters tall by visual inspection, but her figure is hot, at least the tight suit makes her figure look convex and concave.

"Who are you, do we have any enmity?" Chen Ying asked cautiously.

　Today is the last day of 2017. I wish you all a prosperous new year and all your wishes come true.
