Yang Chan's anger did not calm down because of the statement of the black knight. He sneered, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Search? Huh, since she chose to jump off the cliff, even if she doesn't die, she will be seriously injured. I want it. She appeared in front of me alive, not a cold corpse!"
He paused, and his tone became even colder: "Give me my order and block all possible escape routes, even if you kill this place! Turn everything upside down and turn Zhu Find Linlang! I want her to know what the price will be for challenging my authority, Yang Chan!"
"Also, you spread the news that the Empress of Wei has returned to Zhenbeicheng with me. , I want to arrange The dragnet and the earth's trap will make Fang Yue fall into the trap!"
Hearing this, the knights in black followed the order one after another. They knew that this mission was no longer a simple arrest, but a battle. A battle of life and death.
"Humph, Zhu Linlang, do you think you can escape from my clutches by jumping off a cliff? You are so naive."
He said to himself, his voice full of disdain and ridicule, "I, Yang Chan, have never been able to get anything I want. Fang Yue and Fang Yue will all become playthings in my hands, at my mercy."< br>
Yang Chan sneered, and then led the remaining knights in black to leave the cliff.
As Yang Chan and the knights in black left, only silence and cold wind were left on the cliff.
~~~~~~~~
However, the silence did not last long.
Ten days later, a piece of news quickly spread like wildfire in Zhenbeicheng and even the entire Chu Dynasty.
"The Empress of Wei and Hou Yangchan, the champion of Chu, are about to get engaged in Zhenbeicheng!" This news shocked countless people and became the focus of discussion on the streets.
After the news spread, teahouses, wine shops and even streets in Zhenbeicheng were full of people talking about it.
"Have you heard? The Empress of Wei is getting engaged to our Champion of Chu!" A man wearing coarse clothes said to his companions in surprise.
"Yeah, it's unbelievable!" his companion responded with an indignant look.
"If this is true, then the two countries can be at peace, and we don't have to suffer." A seemingly more experienced person interjected.
"If the two countries get married like this, maybe we can avoid the disaster of war and the people can live a stable life." Another person said, with a hint of hope on his face.
"Humph, peace? You are so naive!"
A strong man slammed the table, causing people around him to look askance, "Then who is Yang Chan? He is The champion prince has a lot of troops and is very ambitious. If he marries the empress of Wei. , then I’m afraid there will be no room for reconciliation between the two countries!”
“Humph, what do you mean by this? Are you an enemy who wants to destroy the peace between our two countries?” The strong man slapped the table. As soon as he finished speaking, a scholar-looking man at the table next to him retorted coldly.
"I'm not a trickster, I'm just telling the truth." The strong man didn't show any weakness and glared at the other party, "That Yang Chan is very ambitious. If he really marries the Empress of Wei, I'm afraid he will take this opportunity to annex Wei. , when the time comes, our people in Dachu will also follow You have to suffer!"
"You are wrong." The scholar shook his head, "Marriage is a major matter for two countries, how can it be a piece of cake? Not a good thing.”
“ A good thing? Huh! I'm afraid that behind this good thing is Yang Chan's ambition!" The strong man sneered, "Don't forget, he is the champion of Da Chu and holds military power. Once he marries the Empress of Wei, , wouldn’t the kingdom of Wei be about to fall into his hands? ”
The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly became tense, and people were talking one after another. Some people agreed with the strong man’s statement and believed that there must be a conspiracy in Yang Chan’s move; some people held the opposite opinion and believed that marriage It is a good thing to bring peace.
At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked into the teahouse. He looked around, then walked straight to the strong man and smiled slightly: "The strong man's words are reasonable, Yang Chan. It is indeed ambitious and must be guarded against. However, we cannot deny the possibility of marriage bringing peace.”
The strong man glanced at the young man and sneered: "Humph, you said it nicely, but then you can tell me, what should we do?"
The young man smiled slightly and lowered his voice and said: "We need More people come to discuss this matter together, We can't make a decision based on our own opinions. I know there are many people with lofty ideals who are working for peace between the two countries. How about we go there and listen to their opinions before making a decision. ?”
Braised Man Wen He raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, let's go there and have a look. However, I have to remind you not to make any wrong ideas."
The young man laughed: "Don't worry, strong man, I am also a citizen of Da Chu. Naturally, we hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully. Let's go and listen to the opinions of those people with lofty ideals." After saying that, the young man led the strong man and the people around him to leave the teahouse. That place where people with lofty ideals gather.
These people were led by the young man through the bustling streets, turned into several remote alleys, and finally arrived in front of a seemingly ordinary courtyard. The courtyard door is closed tightly, making it seem particularly quiet and completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
The strong man frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. He stopped, looked around warily, and whispered to the young man: "This is it? Are you sure there are people with lofty ideals gathered here?"
The young man smiled slightly, with a hint of subtle cunning flashing in his eyes: "Take peace of mind, strong man, this is indeed a good place for us to discuss important matters. Please come with me."
Finished , he opened the door and motioned for everyone to go in. Although the strong man had doubts, his curiosity drove him to take a step, and others followed.
However, as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, a cold wind suddenly hit them. With the sound of heavy footsteps, a group of fully armed soldiers jumped out from all directions and surrounded them.
"Are these people!" A leading general shouted sternly. His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally settled on the young man, revealing a meaningful smile.
When the strong man saw this, he became furious. He turned around suddenly and roared: "Who are you? How dare you frame us!"
The young man's expression remained unchanged, and he gently Pushing the strong man's hand away, he straightened his collar and said calmly: "The strong man misunderstood, I didn't It’s not an intentional frame-up. I’m just here to capture you traitors!”
Hearing this, the strong man’s eyes widened and he said sternly: “You say we are traitors and traitors? ! ”
“Take them down and search the house!”
Upon hearing this, the leading general immediately waved his hand to signal the soldiers to take action. The soldiers quickly stepped forward, surrounded the strong man and others, and began to forcibly escort them out of the courtyard.
The strong men and others struggled to resist, but the opponents were numerous and well-trained. They were quickly subdued and captured and sent to the Zhenbei City Prison.
At the same time, in the only inn in a border town in Dachu, Fang Yue was sitting at a simple wooden table, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.
There was a pot of cooled tea placed in front of him, but he did not drink it at all. He just stared at the street outside the window, with many thoughts in his mind.
In recent days, the news that the Empress of Wei, Zhu Linlang, and the Champion of Chu, Hou Yangchan, were about to get engaged, spread quickly throughout Chu, as if wings had been given to them.
Fang Yue naturally heard the news, and his heart was filled with shock and uneasiness.
He knew Zhu Linlang's character and ambition very well and never believed that she would marry Yang Chan willingly.
"Did Linlang really fall into Yang Chan's hands? Or did she make a sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation?" Fang Yue muttered secretly in his heart, he really couldn't imagine Zhu Linlang making such a decision.
While Fang Yue was immersed in deep thought, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind hit him, interrupting his thoughts. He looked up and saw a man in ragged clothes and a tired face walking in hurriedly.
As soon as the man entered the door, he looked around as if he was looking for something. When he saw Fang Yue, a trace of surprise and joy flashed in his eyes.
He quickly walked up to Fang Yue and whispered: "Master Fang, I finally found you!"
Fang Yue was shocked when he heard this.
He looked carefully at the man in front of him and found that although his clothes were shabby, his eyes revealed a kind of perseverance and bravery.
I immediately understood the identity of this person. This person should be the inner guard of Da Chu.
"This is what was given to you from above."
Immediately, the man handed a note to Fang Yue.
"I'm just here to ask for some food. If you don't give it, I won't give it to you. How can you curse others? Why do you have no sympathy at all!"
After doing all this After that, he pretended to be angry and left quickly.
Fang Yue took the note and became even more confused.
He opened it carefully and saw the words: "Leave this place quickly, Yang Chan is deceiving, gather at the border, and discuss plans together." The writing was hurried, but it revealed urgency and crisis.
Fang Yue frowned and thought to himself.
This note obviously came from a trustworthy person, reminding him that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and that there was an ulterior conspiracy behind Yang Chan's actions.
He realized that he had to act as soon as possible, not only for his own safety, but also to find out the true situation of Zhu Linlang and the larger conspiracy that might be involved behind it.
He quickly packed a few simple luggage, checked out and left the inn, while trying not to attract the attention of others.
After walking out of the inn, Fang Yue looked around and after confirming that no one was following him, he followed the instructions on the note and quietly walked towards the border.
Along the way, Fang became more and more careful, using his concealment skills over the years to avoid possible spies.
After several days of trekking, he finally arrived at a hidden valley at the junction of Da Chu and Da Wei.
When Fang Yue arrived at the hidden valley, it was almost dusk. The valley is surrounded by mountains, with only a narrow path leading to the outside world, making it very secluded. He looked around and made sure there was nothing unusual before entering the valley.
Many people have gathered in the valley. They are standing or sitting, but they are all talking in low voices, and the atmosphere seems tense and dignified.
Fang Yue recognized at a glance that one of them was a member of the Da Chu inner guard who had had contact with him before.
When the man saw Fang Yue, he was also surprised and hurriedly came up to him.
"Grandmaster Fang Da, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you." The guard whispered, with a bit of anxiety and expectation in his tone.
Fang Yue nodded, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Where is this place? Why are there so many people gathered?"
The implication is that it should be a secret meeting. .
With so many people here, I am afraid that the news cannot be hidden at all.
Champion Hou Yangchan will know soon!
"Sir, don't worry, that Yang Chan is now in Zhenbei City and has no time to show up, and the location here is secret and will never be revealed."
"Besides, what is true is true, and what is true is false. In other words, the purpose of confusing Yang Chan is to confuse Yang Chan. Otherwise, this border land. We are under the control of the other party. If we are too secretive, we may be detected by the other party."
"Grandmaster Fang Da, we are gathered here precisely because we are aware of Yang Chan's ambition. At the same time, I am also worried about the safety of the Empress Zhu Linlang of the Wei Dynasty.”
The person explained in a low voice, "We have received news that Yang Chan not only intends to control Wei through marriage, but also plots an unknown conspiracy behind the scenes. We must act as soon as possible to expose his true face, rescue the empress at the same time, and ensure that Her safety."
Fang Yue frowned and said solemnly: "This is exactly why I came. Yang Chan's ambition cannot be satisfied by a simple marriage. We must unite. Get up and stop his conspiracy. What do you think about Zhu Linlang? Any clues?”
The man shook his head and looked solemn: “There is no definite news yet, but we speculate that she should be under guard in Zhenbei City, and it would be too difficult to rescue her. . Our internal defense is not good at large-scale Otherwise, Yang Chan will definitely notice it, so we can only rely on Grandmaster Fang Da."
Fang Yue's expression became more solemn when he heard this. He knew how difficult it was to rescue Zhu Linlang, but he also understood. This is their most important task at the moment.
"Then if you call me here this time, what kind of help can I provide? If that's all, I'm afraid the cooperation can only go so far."
Fang Yue snorted coldly, the Chu royal family was so afraid of Yang Chan.
But I don’t want to contribute, I want him to take the lead, haha, the abacus is really good.
Hearing this, the person quickly explained: "Grandmaster Fang, calm down, we don't just want you to take the lead. In fact, we have arranged some people in Zhenbei City, and they have been secretly observing and looking for The right time to rescue
At the same time, we also have some knowledge. The clues about Yang Chan's conspiracy still need further verification. Of course, the champion has many masters, and we will also lure away his great masters."
This person's words seemed sincere and sincere. Eager, he knew the importance of Fang Yue and understood that the situation at this moment did not allow for any delay.
After all, if they take action, they will be discovered by Yang Chan.
There will also be heavy losses!
It is even possible for Yang Chan to rebel in advance, and the gain outweighs the loss! (End of this chapter)
