I want to be a good minister

Chapter 249
The sky was still dark, three hundred miles away from Qamdo, surrounded by majestic mountains, hidden in the darkness before the morning light.

A group of people and horses passed through the black jungle at the foot of the mountain without a sound, at an extremely fast speed, and when they got close, they realized that the group of people and horses were in a hurry, and they kept looking back. , it can be found that this team of people is extremely exhausted, and even walking, some people fell to the ground.

"How is it?" The person who fell to the ground was immediately helped up and waved his hand.

"It's okay, you guys go first, we'll catch up later—" Everyone seemed to be used to this situation, nodded and continued to move forward.

"Give them the horses, and the king will walk—" In the slightly neatly headed ranks, a man in a black suit stopped his horse, and was about to dismount afterward.

"Your Highness, absolutely not. Now that we have managed to get rid of the Second Prince's people, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to rush back to Qamdo, if it is too late, the Second Prince will impose full martial law on Qamdo. At that time, it will be difficult even to enter." The man next to him got off his horse immediately, glanced at the less than a hundred people left behind him, paused for a moment, but looked away without hesitation.

The dark guards of the Beichang Kingdom were established by successive dynasties to maintain the orthodoxy. Although there are not many in number, each of them is a master who can pick one in case.

However, they underestimated the second prince's determination to seek rebellion.

Beichang Kingdom belongs to the Great Jing Kingdom. Under the rule of the Holy Maiden, the orthodoxy is respected. Even in various countries, there are changes in the royal family, and there are secret rivalries. No country dares to have major turmoil.The vassal state has always been law-abiding, so even if the second prince's rebellious heart rose early, Su Zhi did not expect that the second prince has been cultivating a force to counter Beichang's secret guard for nearly ten years.

Therefore, when the first prince returned from Dajing, the second prince's forces counterattacked wildly, leaving no room for it.

That's right, Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, especially now that His Royal Highness, without the support of the Dajing Kingdom, even refused the marriage of the Dajing Kingdom. The second prince, Helian De, didn't know what happened. However, without Helian Jianxiu's last trump card of marrying Her Majesty the Holy Maiden, he lost his protection, just like a bird without its wings, Heliande no longer has anything to worry about.

"Is there any news about General Yuan?" Helian Jianxiu continued to ask, his complexion was stained with the toughness of wind and rain, without a brocade robe, and having gone through countless critical moments of life and death, the man's gentleness became more restrained , the figure is more upright, like a green pine after a storm.

"Not yet." Su Zhi lowered his head. General Yuan Zhenyuan led only more than [-] soldiers, all the way from Dajing to Changdu, and there were only more than [-] soldiers left before the news was lost. Along the way, batch after batch of soldiers Attacked, the clothes on his body were stained with blood, the blade was blunt, and he had lost an arm before he disappeared, and was surrounded by hundreds of Heliande's team. It was already four days ago, and he has never been there since. No news.

Helian Jianxiuru's heart was like stagnant water without any waves, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.However, Changdu has his father, queen mother, and his unfulfilled filial piety. Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, he will break into Changdu.

Besides, death was nothing, there was never a moment when he wanted to die at this moment.But the heavy burden on his shoulders does not allow it, not even the right to die.

The night is as dark as paint, Suihua County, Cen Xi has been waiting in front of this mysterious courtyard for two hours——

Even with the help of a map plug-in, Cen Xi just found the way in, and sneaked into the courtyard cautiously. The security in the courtyard was unimaginably tight. Although there was no sound in the darkness, but, on the map It is true that there is a guard in three steps, and a defense in five steps.

Ding dong—system: Shen Lu, a scholar of Beichang State University, is being imprisoned. Whether Shen Lu can be rescued depends on the situation in Beichang. Rescuing Shen Lu and helping His Royal Highness will restart the task of the Beichang State Fengyun system. Do you accept it?Obtain rewards: experience 2000, props: Thor's Hammer.

Cen Xi was taken aback for a moment, even though the danger was so high now, Cen Xi read the mission three times word by word.

This was completely different from any other mission Cen Xi had received. The first time he mentioned the task of the Beichang State Wind and Cloud System, Cen Xi felt a surge of excitement, and even a sense of exhilaration as he saw the sunrise through the clouds.

After holding back for so long, it finally has a place to use.

Cen Xi quickly jumped into the top of the corridor, avoiding a group of patrolling guards, and searched for Shen Lu, only to find Shen Lu's mark in a courtyard not far away.

Although the distance is not far, it is very difficult for Cen Xi to get there. The courtyard here is close to the wall, which happens to be the place where Cen Xi camped outside the courtyard before.

Cen Xi searched for Helian Jianxiu, Su Zhi and others in turn, but there was no prompt in the system. It seems that Helian Jianxiu was not here.

Cen Xi knew that rescuing Helian Jianxiu would not go so smoothly, so he could only withdraw his thoughts and concentrate on completing the current task. Moreover, at this moment, there were already two unfinished tasks in the system, and the task rewards were extremely attractive.

Cen Xi compared the two tasks, and now Helian Jianxiu is most likely to face danger, so he chose to complete the rescue of Shen Lu first, after all, the reward is Thor's Hammer, and it directly triggers the task of the Beichang State Situation System.

It's just that in such a besieged courtyard, rescuing Shen Lu is also not an easy task. Cen Xi naturally remembered that in the first life, she obtained these tasks because of the treasures obtained from triggering extra tasks. In this life, it's completely different. You have to complete difficult tasks in a real way.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Cen Xi was unwilling to have too many casualties, but now, time is tight and the task is heavy, Cen Xi gritted his teeth, and now he can't take care of it.

So, in the darkness, I saw a figure quietly passing through the heavy handles, but heading towards the opposite direction where Shen Lu was being held. out.

"What's the smell?" A group of guards frowned, and then they heard hurried footsteps in the distance.

"It's on fire, it's on fire, hurry up and bring water—" I only heard loud shouts from the darkness, the fire gradually lit up, and the thick smoke had become the atmosphere.

"What's going on?" The footsteps sounded flustered, and a guard had already rushed over with a bucket.

Cen Xi quickly walked towards Shen Lu, but she poured two barrels of oil from the package, which must have caused the fire to start suddenly, but she had to be rescued, so that she had a chance to turn back and save Shen Lu .

Cen Xi didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he quickly headed towards Shen Lu's location, and on the map, as Cen Xi expected, he moved closer to the direction of the fire.

"My lord, this fire seems to burst out all of a sudden, without any warning, it's very weird." Amidst the panic, a guard became suspicious.

"Quickly let the hidden guard go to Mr. Shen's place—" the leader of the guards pondered slightly, and then quickly ordered, and then, more than ten figures quickly walked towards the courtyard where Shen Lu was.
