Chapter 294 Snooping

King Cheng Xian was stunned when he heard this, and then he made a relieved expression, "If you can't do this time, I'll give you a few more medicine in the future."

The child star Lian complained in his heart and secretly scolded that this tuberculosis is really not a thing, but he dared not have any complaints. He thanked him, "Thank you for your cultivation, I will live up to my mission. When I go back to hunting this time, I will find a matchmaker and marry a few more wives, ha!"

King Cheng Xian nodded, "If you have good things, don't just share them with others. Remember to keep some for yourself."

Although he was kind, he was merciless. The child star Lian's face turned blue and red. King Cheng Xian ignored him and came straight to Li Shamo.

Li Shamo and others were about to dismount and salute, but King Cheng Xian waved his hand, "No need to be polite outside."

He said to Li Shamo, "Commander Li, you are now my person. You must perform well this time and don't let me down."

Li Shamo was the consul of the Gubang Guild Hall, but he also had another position as the commander of the left cavalry of the Hu Ben Army. However, this was a false position and did not really command the troops. Hearing the words of King Cheng Xian, Li Shamo saluted, "I will never refuse."

Xiao Jinyan felt that the two of them were talking strangely, but they were guests after all, so they didn't ask much. The voice of Crescent Spring came from the car, "Husband, the prince is still waiting in front."

King Cheng Xian talked with Li Shamo and others for a few words, and then said to Xiao Jinyan, "Is this the hero Xiao?"

Xiao Jinyan held his fists and saluted.

"I heard from the Guilty, thanks to Xiao's care along the way, I thank you here. Going to the capital is not as good as the Central Plains, but if you savor it carefully, it will be a different flavor. You have to stay for a while."

Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your care."

At this time, another team of people rushed towards him. The leader was a general over forty years old. He was tall and had a purple face, holding a spear in his hand, and eighteen cavalry behind him. They were all brave and warlike masters. They didn't respect him when they saw King Cheng Xian, so they said hello and left.

Li Shamo said, "This person is General Ziguang, a subordinate of the Right King's Court. He is loyal to His Majesty, and he is in charge of the 30,000 imperial guards in the capital, and three thousand shadows of the entire Great Chu. He also obeys his dispatch. From the official side, I am still his subordinate."

The left and right kings are both Chu Bieli's people. Although King Breguet has the military power of the Great Chu, he has no jurisdiction over the imperial guards in the palace. Chu Breguet is controlled by King Breguet everywhere. The 30,000 imperial guards of these two royal courts were his last reliance, otherwise he would have been swallowed up by King Breguet.

The Chengxian King's convoy took the lead, while Li Shamo and others followed far away, not daring to overthrow it. The group went out of the east gate and saw flags standing outside the city, and the carriages were like dragons, which was spectacular.

The ancestor worship and hunting in the twelfth lunar month are a long-standing tradition in Western Chu. First, establish the power of the emperor, and second, officials in the capital report to the emperor. The accompanying chariots and cavalry teams are either rich or noble. Civilian officials ride cars, military generals ride horses, and the children of powerful and nobles in the city are all formed in their own teams, with three thousand Tiger Ben Army in the middle, arranged on both sides, responsible for the guarding of this ancestor worship and hunting ceremony.

Three cannons sounded.

The emperor's convoy left Xijing. The convoy was vast, with the sixty-four horses and imperial guards divided into four rows, protecting the emperor in the middle. King Breguet was wearing armor and riding a fire kirin before the imperial guards.

Everyone saluted, "Long live your Majesty, long live your life!"

Before the emperor in the car answered, King Breguet waved his hand, "No need to be polite, get up. Your Majesty has the order and set off immediately."

There was heavy snow in the sky.

Fortunately, everyone was prepared, either put on fox fur or got into the car, and some young people were strong in firepower.

The snowflakes fell on the body, but the officers and soldiers who raised the flag and fought the chariot were exposed, and their hands were exposing themselves to make the air turn into ice.

Along the way, there were constant horses visiting the palace and the convoy, reporting the situation to King Breguet. King Breguet did not ask for instructions and issued orders directly to everyone. He was also irritable and beat and scolded him at all, and did not take the emperor seriously. The ministers accompanying him were not surprised and did not react.

Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Emperor Chu Bieli was doing too much.

Before dark, the group arrived at the palace.

Twenty miles east of Xijing City, there is Tianmu Mountain, which is thousands of feet high. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. You can see it by looking up inside the capital. This mountain is the holy mountain of the Great Chu Kingdom and the birthplace of the Tayan Tribe back then. Shuquan Li Palace was built here, and Li Palace is also an imperial magistrate. Since the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, all 18 emperors have been buried here.

Someone had already arranged reception there. After welcoming the emperor into the palace, someone arranged for the accompanying princes and nobles to live in different villas. Xiao Jinyan, Li Shamo and others were guests of the Chengxian Palace and were arranged to live in Conglong Villa.

From Longbianyuan, it has always been a villa where the prince lived when worshiping ancestors. This time, King Cheng Xian lived in, which is equivalent to the official recognition of his position as a crown prince.

That night, the emperor held a banquet in the palace. Xiao Jinyan, Li Shamo and others were not qualified to attend, and they were happy to be idle. After the change, the Ali brothers came to knock on the door.

"There is nothing to do. Shuquan's hot spring is very famous. I asked someone to find a relationship and booked a soup pool, changed my clothes, and let's go to drink!"

There are 72 springs in Shuquan Li Palace. When the Li Palace was built, the spring water was brought into the palace and more than 200 ponds were built. Among them, there were eight springs in the emperor's palace, and the rest were built in the outer palace. Most of the people who came this time were powerful and wealthy. Buda used the name of Chengxian King to sign up for Hupuquan.

The Hupu Spring is built at the corner of the mountain. A huge stone carved like a tiger pounces on a butterfly, which is very realistic. The spring water flows out from the tiger's mouth and is introduced into four or five ponds.

The pond they set was about ten feet in size, with small pavilions, stone benches, and stone tables in the middle, and fog around them was shrouded in the lights, just like a fairyland on earth.

Everyone came to Tangquan, and there was a maid next to him to change clothes. Ali seemed to be familiar with the road. Under the maid's service, he changed clothes into the pool.

Xiao Jinyan felt a little embarrassed and caused Buda to make fun of him, "Brother Xiao, with a beautiful woman, you don't need anything, you can't afford anything. If you count this way, you won't suffer any loss."

Xiao Jinyan refused the other party's kindness and changed his clothes to go into the water. The water temperature was quite high, so Xiao Jinyan couldn't help but use his skills to resist. Ali said, "If you endure, you will benefit endlessly."

Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Jinyan got used to coming here. The wine, hot springs, and beautiful women were exhausted for several days.

After a few drinks, Xiao Jinyan couldn't bear the alcohol. He was surprised in his heart. Originally, he had a good alcohol tolerance, but when Xichu came, he couldn't get used to their wine, so he got drunk easily. He got up and went there for convenience. Buda laughed, "I'll solve it on the spot."

As soon as this said, Ali quickly got up.

Ali cursed, "This place is not as good as the grassland, you should be more careful about your behavior."

But Buda said, "This water flows outside, and you don't make tea, so who's the trouble of peeing?"

Ali laughed and scolded, "You are so stingy, everyone can't get enough!" Everyone wiped their bodies and changed their rooms to drink.

Although Hupuquan is not big, it is built along the mountain and the road is rugged. After Xiao Jinyan is convenient, he found that he was lost. He walked along the road and suddenly heard someone talking in the room. Xiao Jinyan felt that his voice sounded a little familiar and stopped.

A middle-aged man whispered, "Please rest assured, this poison is tasteless and has an attack after being poisoned,

It was like a stroke. Even if Bian Que was reborn, there was no medicine to cure. The late emperor died of this poison last year."

Li Shamo's voice came from the room, "That guy is careful. If you want to find someone to test the poison at the entrance, how can you put it into his mouth?"

"This poison is called "Three Days of Drunk". After taking it, if you are drunk, you will die after three days. I have checked the whereabouts of that guy. After tomorrow's ceremony, the Chengxian Wang and his wife will toast him. Let's do some tricks in this, and make a big plan."

"It's just a cheaper Chu Xian."

"Chu Bieli can drink this wine, so Chu Xian can drink it naturally. It's just a matter of drinking it first and then drinking it."

Li Shamo sneered, "I'm afraid it will become a special purpose for the Great Chu royal family."

Xiao Jinyan was shocked when he heard their conversation. In their words, Li Shamo was actually about to attack Chu Bieli. He had always had a good impression of Li Shamo, had high martial arts skills, and was well-mannered in his heart, but he didn't expect that he was so cunning in his heart.

However, with Li Demo's ability, it is probably a little inferior to the political situation in Western Chu. There must be other forces behind it.

Another person said, "General Ziguang is probably a problem. This time he traveled, he brought five thousand imperial guards. If this plan fails, we will be unable to escape if we reveal our identity."

Li Shamo said, "This year, King Breguet requisitioned 3,000 acres of land in the Nanshan tribe in the name of Chu Bieli to build a palace. The Nanshan tribe resisted, and King Breguet sent troops to suppress and wipe out the Nanshan tribe. Now, they still have 300 warriors who are ambushing outside the Li Palace, intending to assassinate the emperor, and then reveal some fake news to them, let them be used as bait, and transfer General Ziguang away."

The middle-aged man said, "You must make a complete plan. If you don't have poison, there is also a hunting ceremony. I arranged more than a dozen shadows in the imperial guards. If it really doesn't work, I took the opportunity to create chaos."

Li Demo said, "The key is how to deal with the aftermath!"

He said again, "I have already thought of a personal choice. There is a person from Central Plains in our guild. I have sent someone to investigate him. His identity is special and has some connection with the Ming Dengwenyuan. If the mutiny is successful, he can be pushed out to take the blame and lead the disaster to Daming."

Xiao Jinyan took a breath of air conditioning.

Unexpectedly, Li Demo, who seemed to be harmless, had evil intentions in his heart and even wanted to push this matter to himself. He couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky and had urinated in time, otherwise he would still be counting money if he was sold.

He came to Xijing for Yuwen Shuang. He didn't want to pay attention to these things, but what he saw and heard today made Xiao Jinyan angry.

"After everything is arranged by the general, I will withdraw first, and the Lord is still waiting for my news in the other courtyard."

Xiao Jinyan held his breath and focused his mind, used his light skills, and left here. Ali and Buda were already drunk. Seeing this, he asked, "Where has Brother Xiao been going? Why has he been urinating for so long?"

Xiao Jinyan didn't know whether the Ali brothers knew about Li Demo's plan, so he made a haha, said a few gossips, and then said goodbye to the two.

When he returned to the room, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.

Now the situation in the Western Chu Dynasty seems to be the dominant King of Breguet, but in fact it is surging in secret, and major forces have their own plans. This ceremony of ancestor worship and hunting has become a battlefield for them to fight. If it is true as Li Demo said, a mutiny will happen in the next two days.

Which side is the force behind Li Demo?

Xiao Jinyan was not very clear about the situation in Western Chu. Logically speaking, it should not be the side of King Breguet. As long as the ceremony was carried out as scheduled, his father and son would justify the imperial power.
