Chapter 90 Wild King
At dusk, a group of officials turned against each other under the escort of the Huwei Camp. It was obvious that civil officials gained very little, at most they were pheasants, and the prey of military officers was more than one point higher.
The two princes finally returned to the camp, and the followers behind them were immediately covered with various preys.
After the soldiers finished placing each person's prey, they knew that the spring hunting was quite good, including sheep, crocodile, jackal, and tiger, leopard, and deer, which showed the foundation of the royal hunting ground.
"The audience's beloved friends are all returning home with a full load, I feel so relieved." Emperor Ling smiled and said, "It seems that the two emperors' gains are the most gratifying, and this comparison has compared the rest of the people."
Two piles of prey like a hill were placed in front, and King Pei and King Wu stood on one side.
"Father, my son-in-law just found a huge black bear in the mountains. In recent years, it was rare to see spring hunting. So he summoned his followers to chase after him for an hour before he hunted this huge creature." As King Pei said, Yu Guang proudly swept to King Wu.
"Although my son has gained a lot, he is not as brave as the emperor's brother, so he is willing to give up the disadvantage." Zhao Jing did not feel any frustration on his face.
Emperor Ling looked at Zhao Jing, "In the past, Jing'er, you always hunted a few pheasants and goats and returned early. Although you were not as good as Xiong'er in spring, you have changed your old habits and made me look at you with admiration."
"Eunuch Liu, let's use Xiang'er's black bear and Jing'er's karat deer tonight."
As night fell, a tall bonfire had been set up before the dragon tent, and the ministers were placed on both sides in order of superiority and inferiority. Because Emperor Ling highly appreciated Shi Zhan this time, he allowed him to sit behind his father, just behind Qingyan.
The wild game carefully baked by the imperial chef was presented one by one. Because Qingyan tried bear meat for the first time, he didn't worry too much. After seeing that Emperor Ling started to enjoy it, he no longer hesitated.
After actually tasting it, Qingyan was a little disappointed. She put aside the heavy spices and the taste was no different from ordinary beef. She took a bite and waited for Zhao Jing's cauliflower.
"I think you don't seem to be interested in black bear meat?"
"To be honest, I was looking forward to it at first, but it was all the same after tasting it." Qingyan's body slanted slightly and he answered Zhao Jing in a low voice.
"Although I'm a prince, it's my first time to taste this black bear meat. It is said that famous restaurants in Jinling have this dish. The price is really terrifying. I taste it today but it is consistent with your opinion."
"Look there, our venison is here."
When Qingyan looked at the many eunuchs who brought the freshly baked venison meat, his eyes suddenly shook.
When the eunuch who presented the dishes to Emperor Ling walked to the former table, he pulled out a dagger without any reflection from the jade plate. It was obvious that it was poisonous to be covered with blood.
Qingyan threw away the chopsticks in his hand without hesitation, then pulled out Qingluan from his waist, and quickly flew away on the table.
When the chopsticks thrown by Qingyan were like meteors, several cold lights appeared in the other two directions at the same time. As soon as the assassin's dagger was poked out, it was hit by a hidden weapon in three directions.
When the Qingluan in his hand penetrated the assassin's body, two long swords slashed on the assassin at the same time.
One of them was Qing Yan, who was very familiar with him. It was Shangguan Bailu, the strange short knife in his hand should be Liang Lie’s sword.
Another man, Qing Yan, was the first time he saw him, wearing light armor, looking majestic, holding a long sword with a domineering shape.
The assassin may not have thought that the assassin he had carefully planned was discovered by three people.
Qingyan and the other two drew their weapons and bowed to each other at the Ling Emperor's table.
The other officials also realized what had just happened, and they were all looking at each other and were shocked on the spot.
Emperor Ling seemed to have not noticed the assassin, and ate the delicious food with relish. After seeing the three of them bow down, he smiled and said, "Three dear friends, is the imperial meal tonight delicious?"
"Your Majesty is late to rescue the emperor, which scares His Majesty." Before Qingyan and Shangguan Bailu could speak, the middle-aged general took the lead in accusing him.
"Why did Commander Li say this? I was not disturbed by him at all. Please get up quickly, three dear friends." Emperor Ling laughed and laughed.
Shangguan Bailu said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to leave first with the assassin's corpse."
"Go, don't forget to bring some imperial meals to Feiyan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, Shangguan Bailu took the assassin's body and disappeared quickly in front of everyone.
Qingyan bowed to the middle-aged general and said, "I have met Commander Li."
There is only one person in the world who can protect the Emperor Ling and be called the commander of the Emperor, Li Jian, the commander of the Royal Jinwu Guard.
"What a sword, good skill." Li Jian's face appeared with a faint smile, but he was very pity for words.
"I know that the two beloved ministers met too late. When there are opportunities in the future, I should go back to the table quickly now. The meat will be cold but it will be tasteless."
"I accept the order."
Qingyan slowly returned to his original position and sat down. The eunuch who was serving the side had already replaced the broken table. However, Li Jian did not leave the Ling Emperor's side, and stood with a knife behind him.
After the Ling Emperor signaled to continue eating, the officials then picked up the chopsticks tremblingly, and they all understood in their hearts that the Ling Emperor's face looked calm, but under the guards of the Two Thousand Tiger Guards and a Thousand Jinwu Guards, they were even taken advantage of by the assassin. He must have been extremely angry. If he accidentally angered Long Yan, he might be killed on the spot to vent his anger.
Bai Yi sat behind Qingyan. Although the latter had found an assassin before, he was still one step slower than Qingyan. After seeing Li Jian's figure, Bai Yi sat back without any trace.
"Uncle Bai, my Huwei camp is a loyal and courageous man. I don't believe that anyone will be an assassin, so there is only one possible way to make sense now."
"Someone in the Tiger Guard Camp was assassinated and replaced his identity, which made the assassin disguised himself as an eunuch." Bai Yi's tone was very heavy.
"If what we expected was not bad, our Huwei Camp would be damaged before the battle. Don't make any mistakes in the caress after this." Qing Yan sighed deeply.
Seeing Qingyan's face heavy, Zhao Jing changed the subject and said, "Can you see the knife of Commander Li Da just now?"
Qingyan said curiously, "I just observed it a little. This knife is not a standard horizontal sword from Nan Zhao, nor is it a hundred-refining ritual knife like Jinwuwei. It is really weird."
"That knife is the Wild King."
Qingyan was shocked and looked at Li Jian beside Emperor Ling. The latter felt Qingyan's eyes, and slightly turned his gaze forward.
"That's true. Without superb martial arts, you will definitely not be able to be the commander of the Jinwu Guard. You can see through the power of the sword just now."
"When the prince was fighting in front of the imperial court when he was a teenager, he defeated the then commander of the Jinwu Guard, and Li Jian was still an ordinary Jinwu Guard at that time." Zhao Jing reminded.
"I heard Uncle Bai talk about this before. I believe my father can become a top-notch expert at my age."
Zhao Jing looked at Li Jian's direction, and saw that he had not noticed this, and whispered: "That's not necessarily the case. Since the establishment of the Jinwu Guard, there have been six commanders in total, and Li Jian is recognized as the strongest. The man who was defeated by the prince side by side back then must not be half as strong as Li Jian now."
"No way? Commander Li Da's martial arts are so powerful?"
Zhao Jingzheng's key point.
"Ling'er's Yuchen Sword, my Tianfeng Gun and General Shi's Juque, as well as Liang Lie of the Marquis of Zongyun and the Ye Wang of Li Jian, combined with three swords, four guns and six strange swords, nearly half of them were in Jinling City." Qing Yan thought about it carefully and couldn't help but sigh.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, the emperor moved west toward the Longxiang Camp station.
After last night's riot, Shangguan Bailu never appeared in front of everyone again, while Li Jian was always guarding the dragon chassis.
"Uncle Bai, have you arranged everything?"
"Don't worry, the prince, everything is ready."
"You also know the purpose of Your Majesty's trip to Longxiang Camp's headquarters this time, and Your Majesty has already made a fuss to inform me in advance. If the Hu Guard is defeated like the first time, then you and I will not have the face to serve in the Hu Guard's camp."
Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "The two thousand elite soldiers selected by Bei Zhi personally were mostly old subordinates who followed the prince to help Jinling. It cannot be said that one fights one against a hundred. If one fights one man against two or three cavalry, it is not a problem for infantry battles to ensure that one fights two or two will not be at a disadvantage."
"I believe Uncle Bai's words, but Longxiang Camp is also composed of the former Yulin Army's subordinates, so it cannot be easily dealt with." Qing Yan could already see the Longxiang Camp's headquarters from afar.
Zhao Jing whispered: "Maybe you are concerned about it and it's a mess. The humiliation of Yan Ze spread throughout the former Yulin Army. Do you think they will use them to fight you? I heard that Yan Ze recruited 20,000 people in Longxiang Camp a few days ago, and he will definitely use new soldiers to compete with you."
"I thought of this, but with the new recruit young man, I want to beat my Huwei Camp? Even if Yan Ze is stupid, he would not dare to do this."
Zhao Jing did not answer, but wrote a word on the palm of his left hand with his right finger.
‘Gen’
With just one word, Qingyan was enlightened. He didn't expect that the Pei Wang Party could do this with the ability.
The meaning is clearly that Zhao Gen was imprisoned. With Zhao Gen's in-depth analysis, one can easily determine that the five thousand soldiers recruited in Longxiang Camp were the once rebellious Yulin Army!
If this is true, Qingyan had to sigh that King Pei was extremely brave, but he admired that his move was so exquisite. Even he never thought that Longxiang Camp would dare to accept the rebels.
What supports them to do this is of course the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, otherwise even if they are braver than the sky, they will not have the strength to do this.
"Uncle Bai, can you see the words in Brother Jing's hand clearly?"
"I see clearly."
"Do you know what it means?"
"I understand." Bai Yi bowed and said, "Prince, please rest assured. Even if this is true, I believe that my subordinates will be in a state of strength."
Qingyan sighed: "Fortunately, I made some preparations before, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome."
Shi Zhan has been riding behind Qingyan, so he naturally saw everything. He was moved by his heart that he did not regard himself as an outsider, but also made up his mind that he must be the first to break the formation for the prince.
As he spoke, the station of Longxiang Camp was getting closer and closer.
From a distance, I saw General Fenwei Yan Ze leading a large number of cavalry out of the camp to greet him.
When the dragon chasing arrived at the camp, all the cavalrymen on the opposite side got off the horse and knelt on one knee.
"Welcome to the emperor in person!"
"Welcome to the emperor in person!"
Emperor Ling walked out of the dragon chasing and said majestic: "The soldiers and soldiers are flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The soldiers of Longxiang Camp were all in a uniform manner, from dismounting, kneeling, bowing, and getting up, and so on. They were definitely not something that the newly recruited young men could do.
It seems that Zhao Jing's guess is almost the same.
After passing a group of cavalry, I looked at the Longxiang Camp's garrison and saw that it covers a wide area and contains many landforms. The facilities in the camp are complete, which is more than one level better than the Sanqiao Camp of Huwei.
