Escape after crossing

Chapter 205: Disputes in the Imperial Court

This matter can be traced back to the plague outbreak in Jiangdu City. In fact, this so-called plague was a carefully planned poisoning conspiracy, and the mastermind behind it was the second prince Leng Yuxun and the prefect of Jiangdu City, Wu Shiyong.

Their goal was to have Leng Shixuan poisoned to death in Jiangdu City, and then use this opportunity to transfer the Prince of Zhenxi away from Kyoto so that the Second Prince could implement a bigger plan in Kyoto.

At the same time, the second prince Leng Yuxun discovered that the eldest prince Leng Yuming was in collusion with the second prince of Lingxi Kingdom, and contacted the people of Mosang through the men of his uncle Chen Yaopeng.

After learning about this, Leng Yuxun was well aware of Leng Yuming's intention to rebel, but he decided to sit back and wait for the show to unfold.

However, when Leng Chenming appeared near Jiangdu City, the second prince Leng Yuxun became suspicious. He thought that Leng Chenming's appearance was too coincidental and might affect his plan. Therefore, he instructed the Mosang people to assassinate Leng Chenming in an attempt to eliminate this potential threat.

On the other hand, the eldest prince Leng Yuming was actively preparing for his rebellion. He cooperated with the second prince of Lingxi Kingdom to attempt a rebellion and establish his own rule.

The second prince of Lingxi, Ji Yuze, also wanted to use the territory of Lengli to threaten and rebel against the eldest prince Leng Yuxun because of his relationship with the eldest prince Leng Yuxun.

Who knew that Leng Chenming would directly cut off Ji Yuze's retreat, leaving him with no way to retreat. This sudden move caught Ji Yuze off guard and completely disrupted his plans and deployments. In the end, Leng Chenming actually captured Ji Yuze alive and captured him.

At the same time, the rebellion of the eldest prince Leng Yuming also failed. He was originally full of confidence and wanted to overthrow Leng Chenming's rule, but things went against his wishes. Not only did he fail, but he was imprisoned and fell into a dilemma.

The Queen, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines and waiting for the show to begin, and the Second Prince Leng Yuxun and others witnessed this incident.

They originally hoped to see Leng Chenming and Ji Yuze both lose, and then sit back and reap the benefits. However, reality dealt them a heavy blow, and their wishful thinking came to nothing.

When they heard the rumors in Beijing that Leng Chenming was dead, they naturally thought that it was a good thing for Leng Chenming to die!

In this way, they would have one less strong opponent and could more easily control the situation. However, fate always seemed to like playing tricks on people, and things did not develop as they expected.

Now, when they learned that Leng Chenming and Leng Shixuan would escort Ji Yuze back to Beijing together, they couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.

This is a perfect opportunity, they can take the opportunity to assassinate Ji Yuze, and let Leng Chenming and Leng Shixuan take the blame and be punished. How can they not be tempted by such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

Of course, the Second Prince and his men were not satisfied with just assassinating Ji Yuze. If they had the chance, it would be even better if they could get rid of Leng Chenming and Leng Shixuan at the same time.

Jiang Ziluo felt very angry after hearing what Leng Chenming said. Leng Chenming had been guarding the border all year round and had not opposed or done anything bad in Beijing.

But they actually wanted to kill Leng Chenming again and again, so Jiang Ziluo decided to secretly help Leng Chenming to protect Ji Yuze back to Beijing.

Leng Chenming had known Jiang Ziluo for a long time and knew her personality well. When he saw Jiang Ziluo again in the bamboo forest, he knew that no matter what, she would eventually get involved in this dispute.

He thought that letting Jiang Ziluo leave early could prevent her from falling into danger, but fate always seems to be full of variables.

He earnestly advised: "Be sure to be careful and ensure your own safety." Although he already knew Jiang Ziluo's secret, he still couldn't completely let go of his worry.

Then, he called Mingyue and Mingxi into the room and told them solemnly that if any unexpected situation occurred, they must do their best to protect Jiang Ziluo's safety.

Finally, he emphasized again: "I don't want you to make any mistakes. Remember, your mission is to protect Jiang Ziluo."

Mingyue and Mingxi agreed in unison, their eyes firm and loyal. They knew that their master valued Jiang Ziluo, and they were determined to go all out to complete the mission.

Leng Chenming looked at the three people, and his heart was slightly warmed. He believed that they would protect Jiang Ziluo.

"Okay, I have to go back. If I'm away for too long, something might happen. If you find anything, leave a signal and I'll come find you."

Leng Chenming said the first sentence to Jiang Ziluo, and the second sentence to Mingyue and Mingxi.

After all, Mingyue and Mingxi both knew their special code. Mingyue and Mingxi understood it, nodded, and sent Leng Chenming out.

The next morning, Jiang Ziluo got up early and continued on her journey. Along the way, they still had to play and rest. However, the journey was not smooth. One day, they encountered a group of bandits, who were numerous and looked ferocious.

Jiang Ziluo calmly commanded Mingyue and Mingxi to prepare for the enemy. The bandits rushed towards them, brandishing swords. Jiang Ziluo nimbly dodged the attacks, while the dagger in his hand flew, and he started a fierce battle with the bandits.

Mingyue and Mingxi were not to be outdone, they cooperated well and did not give the bandits any chance to breathe. During the fight, Jiang Ziluo discovered that the moves of these bandits were not like those of ordinary bandits.

So Jiang Ziluo winked at Mingxi Mingyue, and the three of them slowly gathered together, and Jiang Ziluo spoke in a low voice.

"Mingxi, you are good at Qinggong, so you should find the right time to escape. Mingyue and I pretended to be defeated and captured by them. You follow behind and investigate. They don't look like ordinary bandits."

"Young Master, you must be careful. Mingyue, take good care of him." After Mingxi finished speaking, the three of them focused on fighting so that Mingxi could find a chance to escape.

After a fierce battle, Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue were gradually at a disadvantage and were finally captured by the bandits. They were tied up and taken back to the mountain stronghold.

The bandits brought Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue to the main hall of the mountain stronghold. A man who looked like a leader sat in the seat of honor and looked at them.

"Boss, these two guys are really good looking, fair and tender, they don't look like men." One of the minions said with a lewd smile.

"Yeah, especially this man, he's prettier than the woman!" another minion echoed.

"Why are you arresting us? We are just passing by." Mingyue spoke first.

"Just passing by? Who would believe that?" The minion snorted disdainfully.

"Shut up!" the leader shouted. "Lock him up first and we'll deal with him later."

Jiang Ziluo and Mingyue were taken away and locked up by the minions. The bandit leader got angry at the people who had just returned.

"Old Third, why did you bring these idle people back? We have other important things to do recently, so how can we be distracted to take care of them?"

The one called Lao San was the one who had just led the charge to arrest Jiang Ziluo and the others. He was the third in command of the village, but in fact he was just a pervert. He said with a wronged look on his face, "Brother, I just wanted to have them come and have some fun because they are so white and tender, so that we can relax. Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't let us go into the city to play recently? It's so boring every day!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. But don't go too far. After all, we still have to focus on the big picture." The leader shook his head helplessly.

"I know, big brother!" the third brother replied with a grin.
