One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 214
"Seven years ago?"

Wei Lingran's thoughts suddenly returned to seven years ago.

At that time, Lu Qingfan was still a boy, and Li Zhuowan was still a little girl.

But now, those two people have become the existences he can only look up to.

"What case do you want to investigate?"

Wei Lingran was a little curious.

"King Wu's treason case!"

Sun Hengyuan said loudly.

"what?"

Wei Lingran was stunned, his face full of disbelief, "How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

"You don't know?"

Sun Hengyuan asked: "With your strength, you didn't let you participate?"

"How could I know?"

Wei Lingran was a little annoyed, "I came to Prince Wu's Mansion just to enter the Sutra Pavilion to improve my own strength, and I didn't come to work for him."

"That's fine."

Sun Hengyuan's heart was moved, and he persuaded: "It's still too late for you to withdraw now, so as not to be charged with treason. You must know that this is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. You should have family members and teachers, right?"

"Where's the evidence?"

Wei Lingran thought for a while and said, "If you have evidence, of course I will believe you. Otherwise, how can anyone believe you just by your words?"

"The evidence was taken away by Liu Xinran."

Sun Hengyuan did not tell the truth, in fact, all the evidence was on him.

"Liu Xinran?"

Only then did Wei Lingran remember the purpose of his visit, and asked, "Where did she go?"

Sun Hengyuan said: "She took the evidence to see His Majesty."

"His Majesty?"

Wei Lingran was stunned: "Li Zhuowan?"

"Yes."

Sun Hengyuan nodded, and said: "Liu Xinran has abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and made up for his mistakes. Are you still obsessed with obsession and helping the evildoers?"

"How can I believe you if you can't produce evidence?"

Wei Lingran searched the room with his eyes, and now he is sure, "There is a secret passage in this room? Does it lead to the outside of the city? Liu Xinran has left the city now?"

"I advise you to give up."

Sun Hengyuan seemed to have guessed what Wei Lingran was thinking, and said: "Even if you catch up to Liu Xinran now, even if you kill her, or even destroy all the evidence, it will not help the matter, because this matter is irreversible. "

"Ok?"

Wei Lingran was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"The reason is very simple. What Your Majesty wants is never evidence of King Wu's rebellion. All she needs to know is that King Wu has the intention of rebelling."

Sun Hengyuan said: "As long as your Majesty can be sure that the King of Wu wants to rebel, it is not easy to find evidence? There are still many survivors who participated in the pursuit of His Majesty. Do you think it is difficult to find them?"

"Chasing and killing His Majesty? Is there such a thing?"

Wei Lingran was stunned again, "When was that?"

"It seems that you really don't know."

Sun Hengyuan now somewhat believes Wei Lingran's words, "Seven years ago, His Majesty was attacked near Caiyun City, and all his guards were killed. Thanks to Mr. Lu's appearance, he rescued His Majesty in time, so His Majesty was spared."

"Mr. Lu escorted His Majesty all the way back to Beijing, and encountered several pursuits on the way."

Sun Hengyuan continued: "At that time, Your Majesty and Mr. Lu had also been to Jinling City and entered the Wu Palace."

"I know this."

Only now did Wei Lingran know the reason why Lu Qingfan and Li Zhuowan entered the Wu Palace seven years ago.

However, he still had doubts in his heart, "You said that His Majesty was attacked in Caiyun City, could it be the Dian king Li Xiuyuan?"

"of course not."

Sun Hengyuan shook his head, "Let's not say that King Dian is loyal to His Majesty, even if it is really him, why did he choose to fight in his territory? If something happens to His Majesty, he must be the first to suspect him."

"It makes sense."

Wei Lingran sighed suddenly, "Hey, although I still don't believe that the King of Wu would do such a thing, I can't afford to take this risk for him. You go, I won't stop you."

Sun Hengyuan did not leave, but persuaded: "Do you want to come with me?"

"Ok?"

Wei Lingran froze for a moment, then asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course to see His Majesty and Mr. Lu."

Sun Hengyuan said: "Don't you want to experience Mr. Lu's strength up close? If you are lucky enough to be taught by Mr. Lu, you will definitely benefit a lot."

"I've felt it before."

Wei Lingran shook his head, "Although he is very strong, I have my own way to go. I don't need to listen to other people's advice, even if he is Lu Qingfan!"

"well said!"

Sun Hengyuan nodded appreciatively, "Your words are in perfect harmony, not bad!"

"I'm leaving!"

Wei Lingran suddenly realized something, turned around and left without stopping.

"Where are you going?"

Sun Hengyuan asked behind him.

"Walking around the world, the world is home!"

Wei Lingran suddenly laughed, "From now on, I have nothing to worry about!"

"it is good!"

Sun Hengyuan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. If you make further progress in your Taoism, you will surely achieve something in the future!"

"Lend your auspicious words!"

Wei Lingran laughed and left.

The momentary enlightenment just now has improved his realm and made his Dao heart more firm.

Watching Wei Lingran leave, Sun Hengyuan did not leave immediately.

He stayed here for a long time, and he didn't leave until he was sure that Liu Xinran had almost left the city.

However, instead of meeting Liu Xinran, he took a shortcut and went straight to Xielong Pass.

As long as Liu Xinran leaves the city, he will make his own arrangements.

He wanted to deliver the evidence to Li Zhuowan as quickly as possible.

……

……

Outside Jinling City.

Liu Xinran walked out of a hidden cave and looked around.

It's a hill.

Not far away is an avenue leading directly to Lin'an City in the southeast.

As long as she reaches Lin'an City, she will be safe.

"Commander Liu!"

The sudden shout startled Liu Xinran. She took a closer look and found out that it was Sun Hengyuan's subordinates, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?"

"Commander Sun asked us to meet you."

The person who spoke was a man in his 20s. His name was Qiu Song. Like the two young men around him, he was a shadow guard, and he could be regarded as Sun Hengyuan's subordinate.

The three of them were guarding the entrance of the cave just now, waiting for Liu Xinran to come out.

"Oh."

Liu Xinran nodded, "Then let's go."

"it is good."

Several people didn't stay any longer, and quickly ran towards the avenue.

Two days later.

They arrived outside Lin'an City.

There is a small forest here, and several people stopped here to take a rest.

At this point, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Several people sat on the ground, ate something and drank some water.

"I'll go into the city to see the situation, you wait for me here."

Qiu Song stood up and said: "Before I come back, you must not go away, at most half an hour, if I can't come back, you immediately change your route, bypass Lin'an City, and enter Xielongguan from another road."

"clear."

"be careful."

"be careful."

Under the eyes of several people, Qiu Song walked out of the grove and entered Lin'an City along the official road.

"You are all tired, just take this opportunity to take a good rest."

Liu Xinran sat on the ground, leaning against a big tree, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.

"Ah."

The other two also found a place and began to rest.

time flies.

Liu Xinran opened her eyes, estimated the time, frowned, and muttered, "Is it time to come back?"

"Ok?"

The other two woke up at the same time, and one of them smiled and said, "Commander Liu, it's only been a quarter of an hour, don't worry, don't worry, it's fine."

"is it?"

Liu Xinran was a little embarrassed.

She was indeed a little impatient, as she was getting closer and closer to Linjiang City, she was a little worried about gains and losses.

She closed her eyes again, but her heart still couldn't calm down.

Forget it.

Liu Xinran opened her eyes, looking at the road outside the forest.

She saw a familiar figure.

coming?

Liu Xinran quickly stood up and went to meet her.

It was Qiu Song who came.

There was another person beside him, who was the shopkeeper in Sun Hengyuan's shop.

This person is also Sun Hengyuan's shadow guard, named Liu Yue.

"Let's go."

With a smile on his face, Liu Yue said, "I have already met Mr. Yu, and he asked me to meet you."

"it is good."

Liu Xinran was determined, and asked with a smile: "You have already arrived in Lin'an City?"

"Arrived half a day earlier than you."

Liu Yue took the lead and walked in front while talking.

Several people followed behind him, and the group quickly entered Lin'an City.

They traveled unimpeded all the way to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Yu Zaishui, Governor of Dongping Mansion.

At this time, he was waiting in front of the mansion gate. When he saw a few people coming, he greeted them with a smile, and cupped his hands, "My lords have worked hard."

"It's all right to serve His Majesty."

Several people smiled.

"This is Commander Liu, right?"

Yu Zaishui looked at Liu Xinran with a smile.

Liu Xinran was also looking at Yu Zaishui, she recognized the Governor, seven years ago at the pier in Lin'an City, she saw this man salute Li Zhuowan respectfully with her own eyes.

At that time, she knew that Li Zhuowan's identity must be extraordinary.

But she never expected that Li Zhuowan would be the emperor of Great Zhou in the future.

"It's me, Hello, Mr. Yu!"

Liu Xinran cupped her hands at Yu Zaishui and asked, "What should I do next?"

"please."

Yu Zaishui stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, "Commander Liu doesn't need to do anything, as long as he lives here with peace of mind and waits for His Majesty to come down."

"what?"

Liu Xinran was stunned for a moment, "Will His Majesty come?"

"of course."

Yu Zaishui said with a smile: "If there are no accidents, Commander Sun is already on his way to Xielongguan. In two or three days, he should be able to reach Xielongguan."

"it is good."

Liu Xinran understood.

It turned out that Sun Hengyuan asked her to leave the secret passage not for her to deliver a letter to His Majesty, but for her safety.

Sun Hengyuan had already arranged everything.

Even, Sun Hengyuan had thought of this day long ago, and made sufficient preparations in advance to ensure nothing would go wrong.

"Let's all come in together."

Yu Zaishui said: "Before His Majesty arrives, we can't be too careless. Let's wrong you for three or two days, and stay with me first, and don't go out for now."

"clear."

Several people agreed.

……

……

three days later.

Near noon, Liu Xinran was practicing sword in the yard.

Liu Yue hurried over and said, "Commander Liu, go back to the house first, don't come out for now."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Xinran looked at Liu Yue's expression and was shocked.

Is it...

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wu Prince's son is here, and he is leading people to guard outside the mansion, saying that he is here to find you."

Liu Yue said: "So, you must not show your face, or it will be difficult for Sir Yu to speak."

"okay, I get it."

Liu Xinran nodded without hesitation, and immediately turned and entered the room.

She knew that the strength of Prince Wu's subordinates was not something that Yu Zaishui could resist.

What's more, although this is Linjiang City, it also belongs to Wuzhou and is the territory of King Wu.

All officials here, including Yu Zaishui, are under the jurisdiction of King Wu.

When will His Majesty come?
Liu Xinran became a little anxious again.

Outside the governor's mansion at this time.

Li Changzhi stood facing the gate of the Governor's Mansion, his face livid.

Dozens of his subordinates stood behind him.

Although the number is small, all of them are masters.

When Li Changzhi was waiting in a hurry, the sound of footsteps came from the mansion, followed by Yu Zaishui's voice.

"Your Highness, what wind brought you here?"

Yu Zaishui came out with a smile on his face, and after saluting to Li Changzhi, he said, "Your Highness, why are you here in Jiangcheng this time?"

Li Changzhi sneered, "Master Yu, don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

"It is my mistake."

Yu Zaishui moved away with a smile, and said, "Please, Your Highness."

"Humph."

Li Changzhi snorted coldly, and took the lead into the gate of the mansion.

Dozens of subordinates behind him followed closely.

"Slow down, Your Highness."

Yu Zaishui took a few quick steps and stayed by Li Changzhi's side.

Li Changzhi was looking around while walking, and his subordinates were also looking around. Some of them were even walking around in the courtyard, as if they were looking for something.

Yu Zaishui knew what they were looking for, he didn't say anything, and he didn't stop them.

He has already thought about it, as long as the other party doesn't tear his face, he won't take the initiative to turn his face.

It is only a moment if he can delay it for a moment. If there is really no other way, then he can only bite the bullet and do it.

"Your Highness, this way please."

When everyone came to a courtyard, Li Changzhi stopped.

Yu Zaishui tried to persuade him, but he didn't move.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Yu Zaishui asked.

Li Changzhi sighed suddenly, and said, "Master Yu, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. I'm here to find someone today. Is Liu Xinran here with you? You can leave her to me."

"Liu Xinran?"

Yu Zaishui deliberately pretended to be confused, and asked knowingly, "Who is she?"

"You know it well, but you still want to ask?"

Li Changzhi turned cold, and glared at Yu Zaishui, "Master Yu, are you going against me?"

"Your Highness, don't dare to be humble!"

Yu Zai was terrified on the water, "I really don't know, who is that person you're talking about?"

"You do not know?"

Li Changzhi was very angry, but he didn't want to turn his face immediately, so he could only reply coldly: "Okay, let me tell you, Liu Xinran is the commander of the guards in my house, she betrayed me and fled from Jinling City to Lin'an City, I hid here again."

"Your Highness, I really don't know about this."

Yu Zaishui quickly waved his hands, "How could the person you mentioned be in my house?"

"Really not?"

Li Changzhi glanced at Yu Zaishui, "Then do you dare to let my people search your house?"
