Legend of the Knight

Chapter 274 Entering the Capital

On the official road, several fine horses are galloping.

Weiming didn't expect Li Cangtian's riding skills to be so good, but he himself couldn't keep up.

Riding a horse is like riding a bicycle. Once you learn it, your body remembers it and never forgets it.

Huang Xiaoshi originally prepared a carriage for Li Cangtian, but after hearing that King Cheng raised the flag, Li Cangtian resolutely changed to galloping on horseback.

Although Li Huan, a disciple, thought of a good way to connect the nomadic tribes with the Central Plains, he forgot one thing.

Dogs are dogs and wolves are wolves.

Although wolves can also be fed, it takes at least three or four generations to domesticate wolves.

Originally, if the world was peaceful and the nomadic tribes and the Central Plains lived in harmony for decades, the interdependence between the two parties would become deeper and deeper and gradually become a whole.

However, now that the Central Plains is suddenly in turmoil, some people's minds may come alive.

The plundering of Han people is called threshing grass by nomadic tribes, and in popular terms, it is called mowing grass.

In the eyes of nomadic tribes, the Han people in the Central Plains are just like the pastures in the grasslands, which are the necessities of survival bestowed by God.

In the past, the reason why the nomadic tribes gave up force was because the imperial army was too powerful, and the robbing also had to pay attention to the return on investment. If you invest a sum of money, you will lose a sum of money, and no one will do this business.

It is precisely because of the iron hoof of the imperial court that Shennong Baicaomen can be operated.

Huang Xiaoshi also has a deep understanding of this, so he has always respected the imperial court's garrisons in the Western Regions. Caravans give priority to supplying the garrisons, and the remaining supplies are used for trading.

Knowing who is one's friend and who is one's enemy is an extremely important ability.But many people don't have it. They tend to regard their friends as enemies and their enemies as friends.

Huang Xiaoshi's mind is very clear, so he stands very accurately every time he stands.

This is an ability, not about luck.

Although the Tianlong Cult can control nomadic tribes to a certain extent, it must be understood that when a dog wants to eat meat, even its owner dares to bite, let alone a wolf.

Li Cangtian must rush back to the Western Regions immediately, before those people incite the tribe to move eastward again.

……

Xiao Yao woke up and turned around, it was already the second day.

Although this world is a bit bitter, people's hearts have not yet fallen to the point of seeing people and eating people. After he was washed to the bank by the river, he was found alive, so they took him home.

Thanks to the washing and soaking of the river water, Xiao Yao's whole body is now white and clean, with a scholarly look on his face, he can't tell that he is a beggar.

The person who rescued him thought he had caught a wealthy son who had escaped from Nanjing.

After Xiao Yao woke up, he found that he had been misunderstood, but he didn't correct it.Could it be that it is an honor to emphasize that you are a shameless person?

What's more, Xiao Yao is no longer a member of the Beggar Gang.

Ke Jianglong's palm didn't kill Xiao Yao, it wasn't water at all, but Xiao Yao was going to throw himself into the river to escape, but he was hit by Ke Jianglong's palm [Eighteen Palms of Jianglong] as soon as his body flew up. middle.

Master really wanted to kill himself.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao couldn't help feeling sad.

"Don't be sad, son, do you have relatives in Jiangbei?" the kind-hearted man comforted Xiao Yao.

Jiangbei?
Where do I have any relatives.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao remembered that since Lu Shaolin took King Cheng's money and joined Dongchang, he might be in Jiangbei.

I have a debt to settle with Lu Shaolin.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao struggled to get up.

After all, Xiao Yao was tenth on the Central Plains rookie list. Although he was not as good as Ke Jianglong, he was already a rare master in the world. That's why he was able to escape by jumping into the river after receiving the Eighteen Palms of Jianglong.

Afterwards, Xiao Yao borrowed a set of old clothes and put them on, saying goodbye to the kind-hearted man with a thousand thanks.

This place is not far from Yangzhou, Xiao Yao had done business in Yangzhou with Lu Shaolin at the beginning, he knew that there was a stronghold of Dongchang in Yangzhou City.

Xiao Yao endured the hunger in his stomach and walked dozens of miles on an empty stomach.

Now that the beggar gang has expelled me, I would rather starve to death than beg for food.

Although the pedestrians in Yangzhou City looked nervous at this time, there was no chaos, and the guards did not check the roads one by one.

After Xiao Yao entered the city, he walked outside the stronghold of Dongchang.

After reporting the incision, Xiao Yao said to Fan Ding who was guarding the gate: "My name is Xiao Yao, and I'm from Lu Shaolin in Hangzhou. I'm looking for Lu Shaolin."

As soon as the connector heard this, he turned around and led Xiao Yao to the door.

That's right, Xiao Yao's heart tightened for a while. Although he was still a little weak, he still had the physical strength to kill Lu Shaolin with a single palm while gritting his teeth.

Yangzhou is the closest stronghold of Dongchang to Jiangnan. If Lu Shaolin hides his name after filing the money, Xiao Yao really can't find him.

However, Lu Shaolin's seller sought glory and took refuge in Dongchang. Today is his death day.

Xiao Yao wants to use Lu Shaolin's head to clear his grievances: I am loyal to King Cheng, not Dongchang.

After passing through a few small doors and through the courtyard, Xiao Yao was brought to a hut.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a group of people in the room were gambling in full swing.

I saw a person stepping on the table with one foot, holding the gambling cup with both hands and shaking it wildly.

thump.

The gambling cup was pressed hard on the table, a slender white hand squeezed the lid, and suddenly lifted the cup open.

"Leopard, kill! Hahaha!!"

When the winner was excitedly picking up money on the table, he only heard a person say coldly: "Master Lu, I've had a hard time looking for you."

Lu Shaolin looked up, and it turned out to be Xiao Yao who was thrown in the south of the Yangtze River by him as an abandoned son.

……

Although Xiao Yao doesn't say how outstanding his temperament is now, he is completely different from the previous beggar outfit.

It was also a loss that Lu Shaolin had a great ability to recognize people by face, so he recognized Xiao Yao at a glance.

After Lu Shaolin grabbed a handful of money from the table with a smile, he greeted the others: "Brothers, keep playing, and the money on the table is considered a lottery."

Lu Shaolin was as generous as ever, and won the applause and favor of everyone.

After Lu Shaolin turned around, he walked up to Xiao Yao, stretched out his arm and hooked his neck and said, "Haven't eaten yet. Let's go, have a drink."

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, including Lu Shaolin, there are a total of eight people here, and they all know martial arts, so they are not ordinary people.

Now that Lu Shaolin is sticking to him, Xiao Yao can completely raise his hand and slap him to death.

However, Xiao Yao came to kill Lu Shaolin, not to die with him.

There are too many people in this room, and Xiao Yao is not in a good state at the moment, there is no need for him to violently kill people in front of so many people.

Now that Lu Shaolin doesn't know his killing intent, maybe he can just paralyze him, and when he finds a good opportunity, he can kill him with one palm.

Just like that, Xiao Yao suppressed the killing intent in his heart. After he followed Lu Shaolin out of the stronghold, he wandered around the street again and came to a hotel.

Lu Shaolin first scattered all the copper coins in his arms on the counter, asked for a private room from the shopkeeper, and ordered some food and wine.

After arriving at the private room, the waiter poured the tea in his hands for the two of them, and then exited the private room.

As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Yao originally wanted to use his internal energy to give Lu Shaolin a palm, but when he saw Lu Shaolin's face full of smiles, a surge of anger rushed to his head: This beast is dying, what is wrong with it? Do not know at all.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but opened his mouth to curse angrily: "Lu Shaolin, you are free and easy here, but hundreds of people in Hangzhou City died tragically because of you!

Even I was implicated by you and was expelled from the beggar gang!
Tell me clearly today, why on earth did you betray King Cheng and seek refuge in Dongchang? "

Xiao Yao dared to question the teacher at this time, because he knew that Lu Shaolin's three-legged cat kung fu was no match for him, and now there was only a table between them, and Lu Shaolin was already unable to fly.

This makes the man angry, blood spattered five steps.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xiao Yao's words, Lu Shaolin burst out laughing. He covered his stomach and said to Xiao Yao: "What do you mean by my tragic death? Did I cram their tendons or pull out their bones? It's up to me." What's up?

It is clear that Cheng Wang made a bad move, and after losing, he became angry and asked some people to kill him to relieve his anger.

Besides, do you really think King Cheng is cleaner than Dongchang?
Let me ask you, will Dongchang order the pirates to burn and kill along the coast to raise military funds for themselves?

You were also present at the battle in Hangzhou. Haven't you thought about it over the years, why Japanese pirates got into your ambush circle so coincidentally?

If you don't believe me, let me just say one more thing, Tianyi City is also King Cheng's pawn, and the plan to assassinate General Qi was originally planned by Bai Jiuchi, King Cheng's counselor.

In the Battle of Hangzhou, King Cheng killed two birds with one stone. At the same time, he killed General Qi, his confidant, and the stubborn pirate.

You won a fart, and you don't know that you are being used as a knife. "

When Xiao Yao heard it, he was shocked and didn't know why.

Looking at Xiao Yao's appearance, Lu Shaolin continued: "Xiao Yao, I see that you are also a person with a brain, you should think about it for yourself, it took ten years for King Cheng to prepare for rebellion and raise troops.

Even if the current emperor is as unbearable as he said, he has only been on the throne for a few years, so when did King Cheng become rebellious?
King Cheng made up his mind to rebel when the first emperor was in power.

With so many things here, do you still think King Cheng is as good as the common people say?
Ah, by the way, Tianlong Cult is also a pawn in the hands of King Cheng, as well as Shennong Baicaomen.

But Huang Xiaoshi is more powerful than King Cheng and Bai Jiuchi's calculations, he has already got rid of King Cheng's control, otherwise the situation would have been broken by now.

Let me ask you the last question again. Is a person who colluded with Japanese pirates to slaughter the people along the coast, ordered nomadic tribes to go south to plunder the Central Plains, provoked the rebellion of the Annan tribe, and conspired with Tubo to carve up the world. "

Xiao Yao was silent.

In fact, Lu Shaolin didn't need to say more about these things. After working for Lu Shaolin, Xiao Yao more or less knew some secrets that he didn't know before.

However, whenever Xiao Yao's belief was shaken, he would persuade himself that no matter how bad King Cheng was, he was better than this emperor.

It's like picking a better one out of two rotten pears.

However, no matter how you choose, the two pears are rotten, and they are not what everyone wants.

Lu Shaolin looked at Xiao Yao's disappointed expression, knowing that his heart went to pieces when he said these words.

"As for your master." Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "Ha, what that stinky old man said was unreasonable and unreasonable. I think he is unreasonable and unreasonable."

After Lu Shaolin said this, Xiao Yao slapped the table and stood up.

"What, did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong, you wouldn't be here to slap me on the table." Facing Xiao Yao who was full of anger, Lu Shaolin pushed him back directly with words.

Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao: "Throughout the ages, countless people have been trapped by fame and fortune.

Many people have walked out of the profit field, but they can't get around the circle of fame.

Those who achieve great things are like me, and fame and fortune are all in smoke. "

After pausing for a while, Lu Shaolin said to Xiao Yao, "I'll tell you the truth now."

Lu Shaolin said slowly: "Actually, my real identity is that Chen Chongying was planted in the hands of the emperor, and was sent by the emperor to serve as an internal response to King Cheng, and was also planted by King Cheng as a three-faced spy in Dongchang.

This has come full circle, let me tell you now, I have always been Chen Chongying's person. "

Lu Shaolin turned out to be a three-faced person, Xiao Yao's eyes were blurred.

Lu Shaolin leaned over, put his mouth close to Xiao Yao's ear, and whispered to him: "Xiao Yao, do you remember the first thing I told you?

Do not trust anyone.

Have you noticed that we have been talking for a long time, why the wine and food haven't been served yet? "

"You!..." Xiao Yao finally felt that something was wrong with his dizziness. The tea, by the way, he glanced at the cup in front of Lu Shaolin, and the tea didn't move at all.

Xiao Yao wanted to stand up, but his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.

Xiao Yao, who was in a daze, felt dizzy and dizzy, and soon he lost consciousness.

……

"Change horses, change horses!"

Huang San had just arrived at the gate of the post station, and he had already taken out his waist card and shouted loudly.

As long as he meets a post station along the way, Huang San must change horses, so that the horses can maintain their best physical strength.

Although Huang San has no official position, but working with Xuan Ligong, it is impossible to not even have a waist card.

On the way, Huang Xiaoshi was an eye-opener, seeing Huang San take out the pocket card, all services are free, and shopping is also zero yuan, just take it and leave.

After the three of them changed horses, they hurried forward again.

Monk Huang Xiaoshi Jingzhong's riding skills are quite good, but Huang San is a bit reluctant.

After all, riding a horse is not driving a car. Horses suffer, and people suffer too.

Seeing the [-] li rushing for several consecutive days, when Huang San was almost unable to hold on, he asked the post station for a rope, and directly tied himself and the saddle together.

Huang Xiaoshi clicked his tongue again and again when he saw it.

Don't just watch thieves eat meat, even a little bum like Huang San is willing to fight with his life at critical moments.

It is not far from Luoyang to the capital, the official road is flat and wide, changing horses continuously day and night, Huang Xiaoshi and the others arrived at the foot of the capital on the fifth day.

Looking at the majestic city wall, Huang San felt relieved and almost fell off his horse.

Huang Xiaoshi hurriedly got off the horse, first untied Huang San from the horse, and then laid him flat on the ground. He then stuffed a pill of Qi and blood nourishing medicine from his medicine box into his mouth, and finally gave him a little water. Only then did San slowly regain his strength.

"Master Huang, wealth has reached the threshold, you have to hold on." Huang Xiaoshi said kindly to Huang San.

He didn't know whether it was the ball that had the effect, or Huang Xiaoshi's words encouraged him. Seeing Huang San who was about to be led by the dog, he struggled to get up from the ground.

Dedication, this is called professionalism!
Relying on the waist card in his hand, Huang San led Huang Xiaoshi through the outer city into the inner city, then walked towards the imperial city non-stop, and finally arrived at the West Factory outside the gate of the imperial city before dark.

"Brother Zhang, where is the factory master? I have something urgent to report." After Huang San brought Huang Xiaoshi into the door, he hurriedly inquired about Xuan Li's location when he saw someone.

"Hey, San (er) is back. What a coincidence, the factory owner hasn't come back for a few days."

After Huang San heard the reply, he felt anxious. He wanted to ask something, but Huang Xiaoshi pulled him away.

Bad food.

Huang Xiaoshi pulled Huang San back a few steps, watched the others walk away, and then whispered in Huang San's ear: "Third Lord, something is wrong.

I think the emperor is about to die. Duke Xuanli has been guarding the palace, and he will not come out until the emperor dies.

Our medicine can't be sent in! "

When Huang San heard this, he became even more anxious.

All these 99 hardships have come, seeing the prosperity and wealth is in front of you, but you are blocked by the last threshold.

However, ordinary people in the Imperial Palace couldn't get in at all, even in the West Factory, people with higher ranks than him couldn't get in either.

Huang Xiaoshi put his mouth next to Huang San's ear and said, "Master, I still have one last solution."

When Huang San heard this, he was stunned.
