Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 552
Ye Chen should cherish every second, so naturally he will not enter Hezhong Fucheng.

Most of the people in Hezhong Prefecture were still sleeping soundly, but the movement of Ye Chen and his party running wildly was not small, and the reaction of the guarding soldiers was not slow. They rang the warning gongs and drums in the turret at the top of the city immediately. In an instant, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty on the city gathered together, holding their weapons tightly, watching the crazy cavalry rushing from a distance.

When Ye Chen and his party galloped close to Xiongcheng in Hezhong Prefecture, with his perverted vision, he could clearly see the morning light reflected by the weapons in the hands of the soldiers on the city, but there was no expression on his face, nor any extra thoughts in his heart, just Pulling the rein vigorously, he forcibly turned his direction while he was running fast, and headed east along the official road outside Hezhongfu City that was parallel to the direction of the ancient thick city wall.Naturally, four hundred black knights and fifty killers followed closely behind.

In just an instant, nearly [-] riders disappeared on the plain below the city of Hezhong Prefecture, leaving only a cloud of smoke and dust.

The defenders of Hezhong Prefecture stared dumbfounded at the miraculous scene before them, and were speechless for a long time. Some well-informed generals remembered the black cavalry of Huaxia Weifu, and even guessed Ye Chen's identity. , was too shocked to speak.

When the prefect and guard of Hezhong Mansion learned about what happened in the early morning, their eyes showed surprise. Unlike the people below, they all knew that Xiangfu County King was on his way to Hezhong Mansion. According to the plan, he should arrive in Hezhong tonight. In the government, they have even made all kinds of extremely grand preparations for the reception.

However, now the king of Xiangfu County left his large troops behind and headed towards the capital frantically with only a few hundred black cavalry who were already well-known all over the world.

What happened ahead or in Kaifeng City?Let this person go back to Kaifeng in such a hurry.The prefect of Hezhong Prefecture and the guard looked at each other, guessing endlessly in their hearts.But no matter how he guessed, there must have been something that happened in Kaifeng that the young county king cared about very much.

When the two of them guessed and decided to send people to Kaifeng to inquire about the news, Ye Chen had already led four hundred black cavalry and fifty assassins to plunder the city and left the area of ​​Hezhong Fucheng, embarking on the real return to the capital. ground road.

Traveling through states and counties all the way, encountering obstacles all the way, without talking to any state or county officials, the powerful 450 rode under the leadership of Ye Chen, and rushed to Kyoto at the fastest speed.

This has happened nearly two days later, and during these two days, a generation of legendary Xiangfu County King Ye Chen led four hundred black cavalry and fifty killers to run for nearly a thousand miles. I don't know what kind of legends will be left in the history of the Song Dynasty and among the people.

In the winter snow, fifty miles northwest of Kyoto, the ground suddenly trembled, and snowflakes fell from various tree branches on both sides of the official road.A group of cavalry, as black as iron and as dark clouds, roared past.Leaving a ground of snow water and sludge.

Kyoto is just around the corner.Ye Chen also felt exhausted at this time with his physical strength. He had not slept for two days and two nights, did not eat, and only relied on clear water to support his fatigue. Persist.

He wanted to rush back, and no matter what he wanted to save Wang Chao, at least he had to postpone the beheading, save his life first, and then slowly plan it later.

Ye Chen's imperial envoy uniform was covered with a layer of mud, his face was also covered with muddy water, even his eyelashes were covered with a layer, his lips were dry, and his pupils were frighteningly bright.

Snow fell in many places along the way, and everywhere we passed was muddy water.That's why the four hundred black knights and fifty killers looked extremely embarrassed. Even with the abilities of the black knights and the assassins, there were still some people who couldn't keep up with Ye Chen's speed and fell team.

If Ye Chen hadn't fully exploded his powerful cultivation, he would not be able to support such a terrifying speed at all.And in the rain yesterday, finally some war horses could no longer hold on, no matter how hard they used, they couldn't move forward, and Ye Chen even changed ten horses in the black ride, but he couldn't find another horse to change. So at a post station, more than 40 horses inside were forcibly recruited, so that they can persist until now.

At this time, there were only more than 30 black knights and ten gold medal killers left beside Ye Chen, but such a small team shocked the entire Kaifeng city.This is not to say how much commotion they caused, but today is the day when Wang Chao was beheaded. I don’t know how many people and forces sent people outside the city or on the city wall to stare at the official road leading to the northwest of Kaifeng and the west gate. .

The king of Xiangfu County came back at this time, and obviously rushed back in advance to save Wang Chao. Those generals and officials on the top of the city or the confidantes sent by some big men were a little worried, and of course they also had a heart. People who are happy and happy in their hearts are happy.

Of course, they knew what they were doing in Kyoto today, but after knowing Ye Chen's itinerary, almost everyone thought that Ye Chen would not be able to come back, so they didn't expect that Ye Chen would rush back to Kyoto today!

The last time the court of the Song Dynasty knew about Ye Chen, Ye Chen was still far away from Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an, on the way back to Kyoto from the northwest, unless he was flying, it would be too late for him to come back.But what everyone couldn't believe was that.Ye Chen rushed back unexpectedly!
Han Hu, the envoy of the Security Division of the Huaxia Weifu, came out of the doorway, hurried to Ye Chen, knelt down, and said: "My lord, Wang Chao committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and I hope that my lord can use my Song Sheji for"

Before Han Hu could finish speaking, Ye Chen shouted loudly: "Get out of the way!"

The will contained in this burst of shouting made Han Hu feel chilly. Although he didn't step aside, he didn't dare to speak any more.

Then Ye Chen said again: "Everyone in the Huaxia Weifu listens to the order and clears the way for me!"

This voice contained a trace of pure Taiyi Zhenqi, which spread several miles away.

At the gate of the city, the dozens of Huaxia Wei who had been kneeling on the side brought by Han Hu didn't dare to take another look at Han Hu, so they quickly jumped up and began to clear the way.In fact, without them yelling and chasing people away, the people at the gate of the city had already stepped aside, and the gatekeepers, officers and soldiers also knelt aside, how dare anyone stop them.Ye Chen's words were naturally aimed at the road leading to the law field in the city.

There are 80 people in Kaifeng City, even if it is snowing, there will be a lot of people on the streets. Ye Chen saw that it was almost noon, and it was time to behead the prisoner. He was worried about delaying time on the road, so he gave this order.

In fact, Li Junhao had already scattered many Huaxia guards from the west city gate to the vegetable market law place. Even if Ye Chen did not issue this order, these Huaxia guards would clear a path for Ye Chen to go straight to the law place.

In order not to make people think that Ye Chen is a robbery field, Ye Chen did not let the black rider enter the city, but brought ten gold-medal assassins into the city, but along the way, the experts and spies of the Huaxia Weifu on both sides had already formed a tight line of defense, Coupled with Ye Chen's own super strength, unless Lou Yanming came in person, there was no need to worry about someone being able to assassinate Ye Chen.

The vegetable market is approaching the Fachang, and the snow has stopped. The closer the Fachang Street is, there are not many pedestrians on the street, because people are gathered around the Fachang.

Ye Chen's perverted sense of hearing allowed him to hear the sound from the execution ground at a distance of several miles, and also saw the big knife in the executioner's hand raised, but he was in a hurry, and he moved behind him at a very fast speed. The eight-stone bow was in his hand, and he bent the bow and set an arrow.

Seeing the turmoil in the crowd, Yuan Chongjun, Minister of the Dali Temple, hurriedly shouted in the Vegetable Market Dharma Field, "Cut! Cut them off immediately! Cut them all!"

The executioner was dressed in red, came up on the stage with his chest bare and his shoulder carrying a ghost-headed sword, walked up to them, knelt down on one knee, and politely said: "The little one salutes the general, please return to heaven!"

Several yamen servants came up and forcibly pulled Qiniang aside, and the executioner raised the ghost's head sword and chopped it down very skillfully.

There was no sound of a head falling to the ground, nor a rush of blood.

There was a thunder-like piercing sound, followed by a scream, followed by a series of screams and deathly silence.

The front half of the extremely sharp Ghost Head Broadsword in the executioner's hand has been shattered, and a steel arrow pierced the vertical surface behind the platform where Dali Temple Minister Yuan Chongjun sat.

The first scream was made by the executioner. It seemed that he didn't see how his ghost-headed sword was broken at all, and only heard a thunder.Dali Temple Minister Yuan Chongjun and the officials of Dali Temple beside him also did not see anything clearly, and only heard a thunder, and then someone found a steel arrow stuck in the vertical wall behind them, and then they also hurriedly stood up and shouted Exclaimed loudly.

It's just that no one noticed that one of the three Dali Temple servants standing on the side of the platform where the officials of the Dali Temple were located had his pupils constricted at this time, and it was this person who thought to himself at this time: "Finally here! For a distance of nearly [-] zhang, to break the knife with one arrow, what kind of archery is this, no one has ever been able to do this."

Dali Temple Minister Yuan Chongjun was stunned for a moment, his face was livid, and he wanted to shout: "Come on, someone is robbing the Dharma field!"

"Your Excellency, be careful." At some point, Li Junhao suddenly passed through the crowd, walked into the arena, came to Yuan Chongjun, and directly interrupted his words.

Li Junhao, the envoy of the Supervision Department, the second most important person in Huaxia Weifu, even Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi and Prime Minister Zhao Pu had to smile and be extremely polite.For officials, even most of the time, they are more afraid of Li Junhao than Ye Chen.Not because of anything else, just because Li Junhao is the envoy of the Supervision Department that supervises all officials.

When someone interrupted him, Yuan Chongjun was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Li Junhao, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly put on a smiling face, stood up, saluted himself, and said, "So it's Li Sishi."

Li Junhao's official rank is two levels lower than that of Dali Temple Minister Yuan Chongjun. He didn't ask for anything, and politely returned the gift, saying: "My lord, my chief envoy has returned. Please suspend the supervision and beheading until the chief envoy and His Majesty have seen each other." After the interview, how about acting according to the results of the discussion between His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief?"
