Chapter 156 There are enemies blocking the road ahead
A few months ago, Yangzhou, Prince Ning’s Mansion.
Ning Prince's Mansion, which covers an area of 100 hectares, is surrounded by countless heavy soldiers. The guards are so tight that not even a fly can fly in.
At noon, the gentle breeze was blowing on the sparkling lake in the palace, creating ripples.
The King of Chujiang, one of the Ten Palaces of Hell, walked over slowly. He walked across the stone bridge and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Prince Ning was lying on his side on the recliner, holding a palm-sized celadon cup in his hand. He held fish food in his right hand and slowly sprinkled it into the lake, causing the fish to fight for it.
Beside him, there was a young monk wearing white clothes, with a handsome and elegant face, and an unworldly aura.
There is also a young woman in a red dress, playing with a jade piece in her hand, with a slight smile on her lips.
"Your Excellency, you are late." Seeing the appearance of King Chu Jiang, the monk in white said slowly, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
King Chu Jiang chuckled, clasped his fists and said: "I encountered some delays on the way, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"A little thing doesn't matter." Prince Ning poured all the fish food in the cup into the water, causing countless fish to fight for it. He put down the celadon cup in his hand, clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.
Then he stood up, stretched, and said, "Since you are already here, let's get down to business!"
"Okay." King Chu Jiang responded with a smile. road.
The monk in white pointed at the woman in red dress next to him and said: "I am sure you are familiar with this lady! The saint was ordered by the leader to discuss this important matter."
That dress The woman in the red dress turned out to be the saint Yu Yiyao, a disciple of Maitreya Cult leader Zhao Baiyang. She stood up and bowed slightly to salute: "The little girl Yu Yiyao has met the senior King of Chu Jiang."
King Chu Jiang frowned slightly: "The matter this time is of great importance. Even if your master didn't come in person, it should be a protector or an elder. How could he let you come!"
His tone was a little cold. Hey, obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the Maitreya sect for producing such a person.
As for the dissatisfaction of King Chu Jiang, neither King Ning nor the monk in white said anything. They just looked at Yu Yiyao with interest, wanting to see how the saint would answer. After all, she was just a Maitreya sect. This approach made them slightly dissatisfied.
With Yu Yiyao's intelligence, she naturally knew that the King of Chu Jiang could give her a blow. When faced with the accusation, she was not angry and replied with a smile: "Since the rise of Pei Xuanjing, he has brought great success to our teaching. A lot of losses were caused, and many masters were killed or injured. Now a big event is about to happen, and the Northwest Path is the top priority. In order to avoid any negligence and mistakes, the Master decided to personally take charge of the Northwest Path, and even the masters in the sect were summoned. We gathered together. Recently, Master is going to see some old friends and wants them to join us. We are unable to get away, so I asked the little girl to come and ask for your forgiveness."
After hearing this explanation, there are some. Reluctantly, a few people stopped pursuing it. After all, the three parties were in a cooperative relationship, and the power of the Maitreya Sect was not small. It was not just their subordinates who had the strength to give such an explanation, which was enough to give them face.
King Ning glanced at the white-robed monk next to him. The white-robed monk nodded and asked, "I don't know how prepared you two are. If we prompt you, can you respond immediately?"
It's like this The three parties colluded together It has been a long time. In order to ascend to the throne, King Ning actually chose to cooperate with Maitreya Cult and Yinsi, two notorious forces in the world. It seems that the other party has great ambitions and does not care about any influence. He only focuses on The position of the Nine-Fifth Lord.
In King Ning's view, as long as he succeeds as a king or loses as a bandit, it doesn't matter what price he pays, as he will have the opportunity to make amends in the future.
You must know that Emperor Taizu once worked as a beggar, but so what. When he rose up and opened up the Ming Empire, not only was he not laughed at by anyone, but it only increased his majesty and momentum. As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, why would Zhu Chenhao regret his mere reputation?
The origin of this monk in white is very mysterious, but everyone knows that he is the most trusted person by King Ning.
Yu Yiyao and King Chu Jiang nodded at the same time and promised: "Everything is ready. Just take the prince's side and we will act at the same time."
After hearing this answer The monk in white nodded with satisfaction.
As the target of Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao in black, the monk in white asked himself whether he was any better than his opponent. Yao Guangxiao was able to successfully push Emperor Taizong Jingnan to raise troops, but now he has enough confidence to push King Ning to the throne.
………………
After Pei Xuanjing separated from Taoist Qingxu and Bai Xiaosheng, he quickly rushed towards Yangzhou.
The place where he was was about twenty days away from Yangzhou, where the troops were raised. Even if Pei Xuanjing was galloping all the way and driving day and night, it would still take more than ten days at the fastest.
However, Pei Xuanjing's current identity is also somewhat sensitive. He knows that as long as he shows up in the world, he will attract the attention of many people, especially those who have grudges against him, such as the Yinsi or the Maitreya Cult.
There is also the obstruction of the Ming Dynasty court. After all, there is chaos in Yangzhou now and King Ning is revolting. No one knows what Pei Xuanjing’s purpose is in going to that place?
Maybe he wants to take refuge with Prince Ning and join forces with Prince Ning to deal with the Ming Dynasty court?
This is not impossible, so the Ming court will definitely stop him to prevent the two from getting together.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing must not go all out and rush on the road. He must leave some energy to prevent unexpected things that may happen to him, such as the ambush and assassination of him by the Ming Dynasty court, the Yin Division and the Maitreya Cult.
So while ensuring his own safety, it would take Pei Xuanjing ten days at the earliest to arrive in Yangzhou.
As expected, just seven days after he set off, when he saw that it would only take a few days to reach Yangzhou, he first encountered an obstacle.
And this obstruction was neither from the Yinsi nor from the Maitreya Sect, but from the Ming Dynasty.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Pei Xuanjing frowned and looked at the group of soldiers blocking him in front of him.
The man dressed as the general said coldly: "Pei Xuanjing, this general is Yang Yunhui, the commander of the Dehua Guard Command Division. Today, I am here to capture you and bring you to justice."
He has already After receiving the news and learning that Pei Xuanjing would appear here, Dian led a group of troops to ambush here, hoping to capture Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing said coldly: "You don't care about Prince Ning's rebellion, but you come to arrest me?"
Yang Yunhui didn't say much and directly ordered: "Do it, life or death."< br>
Of course he knew that King Ning was rebelling, but now King Ning was in big trouble, and he was definitely not something he could deal with.
