20demayo Chapter 355 Plan
Chapter 355 Plan
Eunuch Jing watched Chen Changan leave and sighed sadly.
How do I pee? Just do it like you men do, while standing. Why are you asking?
Eunuch Jing did not dare to delay and returned to the palace with his men.
The inner court of the imperial palace was heavily guarded, with the emperor sitting at the top and all the ministers beside him, none of them dared to speak.
Kneeling in the middle was an old man, who was Liu Cong's father, Liu Gang.
Eunuch Jing walked to the palace gate, calmed his turbulent thoughts, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this old servant has something to report!"
Eunuch Jing's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of countless officials.
Seeing that only Eunuch Jing appeared at the door, all the ministers frowned. How dare Chen Changan not come back?
The emperor also didn't understand: "Eunuch Jing, where is Chen Changan?"
"Your Majesty, Chen Changan has taken charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and is heading straight out of the city to Qingzhou!"
As soon as Eunuch Jing said this, all the ministers became uneasy.
"What is Chen Changan doing!"
"Doesn't he know how serious the crime of disobeying an imperial order is?"
"At this time, the capital is under guard, why would he take the troops away? If something goes wrong, who will be responsible?"
Listening to the discussions of the ministers around him, the emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain: "Okay, okay, Chen Changan dared to abandon me and leave, he really deserves to die!"
"Where are the Golden Armored Guards? Close the city gates and don't let anyone leave Kyoto!"
"Your Majesty, wait!"
Eunuch Jing quickly stopped the emperor and reported, "Lord Chen has the Heavenly Power Order. He heard that Lord Xiao had been imprisoned, so he took charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in order to find out where the silver went."
"I told Lord Chen that the Emperor wanted to summon him, but he said that he was away from home and could not obey the Emperor's orders!"
"He wrote a letter and asked me to hand it to the emperor personally!"
Eunuch Jing took out Chen Changan's letter from his arms. The emperor's face turned pale and he waited for Eunuch Jing to bring it up.
All the ministers looked at the emperor's face quietly, only to see that his expression became more and more uglier!
"Okay, okay, okay, you Chen Changan, I really misjudged you!"
The emperor was furious and said sternly: "Pass on my imperial decree to seal up all of Chen Changan's assets and put them into the national treasury. I don't believe it. Even if you are a traitor, what can you do?"
"Order all the golden armored guards to guard the city walls to prevent Chen Changan from leading his men back to attack!"
"Go!"
All the ministers were confused and surprised!
A few days ago, the emperor was very impressed with Chen Changan and wanted to train him as his successor. What happened?
Confiscating property, defending the city, treason...
Are they trying to accuse Chen Changan of treason?
Eunuch Jing was even more confused!
Chen Changan, you, what on earth are you doing?
It didn't matter what he did. Chen Changan followed the old horse and galloped to the Shili Farewell Pavilion.
As I approached here, I saw a carriage parked there.
"Old General, why is it you?"
Chen Changan's eyes suddenly widened, full of disbelief.
He never expected that he would see Li Wuling at this place and at this time.
Li Wuling shook his head and chuckled: "Why can't it be me? You are going to Qingzhou to find out where the silver went. I will bring someone to help you."
"Yan Qing, come out and meet Ping An, your husband."
Yan Qing was wearing a moon-white ancient-style long skirt. On the skirt, exquisite plum blossom patterns were embroidered with silver thread. The plum blossoms were either in bud or standing proudly in the snow and frost, vivid and lifelike.
She wore a light blue gauze cloak, as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as smoke.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, only half of it was tied up with a carved jade hairpin, and the rest fell on both sides of her thin and soft shoulders.
I haven't seen Yan Qing for a while. ** An waved his hand and said, "Old General, don't talk nonsense."
"Miss Yan and I are pure and innocent by nature, and there is no private relationship between us."
"There's no secret relationship yet. Yan Qing misses you so much that she can't eat or sleep. Why don't you tell me?"
Li Wuling shook his head and did not dwell on this topic: "I am pressed for time, so to make a long story short, when you go to Qingzhou this time, I expect that something unexpected will happen in Baidi."
"But don't worry no matter what. As long as Li Wuling is alive, the Chu Kingdom will remain unmoved."
"Go ahead. Yan Qing will tell you if there's anything on the way."
Li Wuling wanted ** An to leave quickly, but ** An shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Old General, I don't know what's going on in Qingzhou yet. What if there's a war there?"
"Yan Qing is a woman after all. Can she go to the battlefield?"
**An shook his head to refuse, Yan Qing gritted her teeth slightly: "Ping An, I am not an ordinary woman."
"When my late husband and I went to the battlefield, I'm afraid you were still peeing and playing in the mud. I'm only a few years older than you, but I've already seen the cruelty of the battlefield."
"Take me with you, I won't let you down."
** An was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Ms. Yan, I know you are older than me, but there is no need to insult me like this, right?"
"Girls should stay at home and wait for their husbands to come back. Can you not go?"
"Besides, it will take at least half a month to get to Qingzhou. You see, we are just two grown men, and it is really inconvenient to take a woman like you with us!"
Yan Qing was determined to go, and sneered: "What's the point of talking about convenience? When I was stationed at the border with my father, I lived and ate with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Who would say anything?"
"It's okay if I don't go anyway, so I'll go tell Prince Jing'an that this is a buckle made by Chen Chang'an for him!"
"He pretended to lead his troops out of the city, leaving the imperial city empty. The emperor was furious and wanted Prince Jing'an to rise up in rebellion... Is that right?"
Chen Changan shuddered all over, and Lao Ma looked at Yan Qing in disbelief.
Who, who leaked this huge secret to her?
Seeing that Chen Changan was silent, Li Wuling chuckled and said, "As early as when you attacked the post station, Yan'er had guessed your next move."
"You went back to the Zhuangyuan Mansion for no other reason than to get the war horse and deliver a letter to the emperor. If Eunuch Jing goes there, you will take over his hand. If Eunuch Jing doesn't go there, you will plan to let Ma Yonghe enter the palace."
"Changan, you and Yan Qing are the same kind of people, do you know that?"
Seeing that his plan had been guessed by them, Chen Changan just shook his head and sighed, not feeling disappointed at all.
After all, this father and daughter are the emperor's people and can be trusted.
"Old General, I know that, but Yan Qing is a woman and has to take a carriage when traveling. She can't keep up with our speed."
Chen Changan was still trying to persuade her, but Yan Qing raised her chin and said, "Who said I have to rely on a carriage to travel?"
"Chen Changan, let's compete to see who is faster, me or you?"
There was a warhorse tied to the back of the carriage. Yan Qing untied the reins, took a step with his long legs, and landed steadily on the horse's back.
The whole action was done in one go, without any drag, showing a dashing and heroic demeanor.
"Chen Changan, let's compete. If you are faster than me, I will admit defeat!"
"drive!"
The horse seemed to sense Yan Qing’s dissatisfaction. It neighed loudly, raised its front hooves high, and then rushed out like an arrow!
Chen Changan grinned. It was over. He could only let Yan Qing follow him.
