Peerless Pirates

Chapter 705: The Old Emperor's Means

Without the sergeant to check along the border, it was much more convenient for Song Zheng and Lang Bochuan, the trainer of the Pokémon named Aaron.

After a day of rest, Song Zheng went out for a trip. When Lang Bochuan saw him again, Song Zheng had already prepared two identity documents. With the "identity cards" in hand, the two of them headed for Chengdu Prefecture in a big way.

Of course, the two of them still had to put on some make-up. Lang Bochuan had a short beard and his face was dyed yellow, making him look at least ten years older. Song Zheng, on the other hand, turned into a coachman, and his face became darker and darker.

A black mole was added to his cheek, which made his appearance completely different. Not only that, Song Zheng also put a cotton ball on his back, making it look like he was born with a hunchback.

Song Zheng had done serious research on how to hide his whereabouts, and with two lifetimes of experience, he would never have recognized the two of them unless a familiar person looked carefully in person.

The two of them walked to find out the news and rushed to Chengdu Prefecture. Three days later, they arrived at Canshi Town in the north of Chengdu Prefecture.

Along the way, the two of them heard countless news. However, judging from these news, Chengdu Mansion undoubtedly went through some turbulence, but it soon subsided, which made both of them ecstatic. Lang Bochuan was eager to leave immediately.

He went to Chengdu Mansion overnight to report to his father that he was safe, but was dissuaded by Song Zheng.

Among the news heard, the most incredible thing is that the imperial court announced that the mastermind behind the Qingcheng Mountain assassination was not an assassin from the Qi Kingdom, but a remnant of Li Yuandan from the Xixia Kingdom. As for the reason for the assassination, it couldn't be simpler. The Shu Kingdom took advantage of the chaos in the Xixia Kingdom

At this time, Li Yuandan did not want to succeed the Xixia royal family, but captured Hanzhong. In order to retaliate against the Shu Kingdom, Li Yuandan's followers sent assassins to lead the attack.

Hearing the news, Lang Bochuan and Song Zheng were almost shocked. After thinking about it, Song Zheng gave a thumbs up. Lang Zhengchun's move could be said to kill several birds with one stone. First, Lang Zhengchun had already learned that Song Zheng

After successfully escaping with the prince, if he continues to pin the assassin's name on Song Zheng, he is afraid that Song Zheng will be detrimental to Lang Bochuan. The second is

, Li Yuandan's regime has perished and lost the value of unity. Liang Yiyue played a disgraceful role in Lang Boyan's rebellion. It is not unfair to accuse him. Third, Lang Zhengchun did not want to make the Lang Boyan incident public.

Hua, after all, the son who was deeply valued by Lang Zhengchun actually wanted to kill his father and rise to power. It was really embarrassing.

The next day, Song Zheng and Lang Bochuan rushed to the city of Chengdu. After a moderate interrogation, they entered the city. They found an inn not far from the post house to stay first, and repeatedly told Lang Bochuan not to do anything without permission.

After taking action, Song Zheng went out.

Wang Ruoxiong's bookstore was only a few miles away from the post house. Song Zheng quickly found the place. After checking it twice, Song Zheng entered the bookstore.

"I've invited this young man, how can I help you?" A waiter came up to him and asked enthusiastically.

"My master ordered five volumes of "Shusu Yu Ci" here and asked the young one to come to shopkeeper Wang to pick them up. I wonder if I can help?"

The waiter was slightly startled at first, looked Song Zheng up and down, and then said, "Brother, please come inside. The shopkeeper is waiting in the back."

Turning the corner of the cabinet, Song Zheng followed the clerk into the backyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a figure twisting quickly in the open space, "Double dragons playing in the water", "Feiyan turning around", "Jade dragon wagging its tail"...

Song Zheng was performing moves that were familiar to him, and it turned out to be a set of marching fists that were quite popular among the Qi army.

"Shopkeeper, the customer who ordered "Shu Yu Ci" is here, and I brought him." The waiter greeted.

Wang Ruoxiong stopped instantly, turned around, and stared at Song Zheng with his eyes. After being slightly stunned, his eyes immediately burst into ecstasy. However, he quickly suppressed his joy and turned to face

He commanded expressionlessly, "You go down first, I'll greet this little brother."

The waiter returned in response. Seeing the waiter walking away, Wang Ruoxiong took two steps and knelt down with a loud cry, "Sir, I finally hope you are back. I knew you would be fine!"

Song Zheng quickly supported him and said, "Let's talk in the room!"

"Yes! Yes!" Wang Ruoxiong said hurriedly.

The two of them entered the house, and Wang Ruoxiong said excitedly, "Master, where have you been these days? But my worries have gone away. I wanted to go out to search for you, but I was afraid that I could not find your whereabouts and missed the master.

Things have always made me restless."

Song Zheng smiled and nodded. At this time, Wang Ruoxiong's eyes were red, his face was thin, and his whole body was trembling slightly. It seemed that he had been worried a lot these days.

After all, Wang Ruoxiong had been in Dark Eagle for many years. After a few words, he quickly regained his composure and began to talk about the news he had received these days. He first started with learning about the assassinations of Song Zheng and Lang Bochuan, then talked about the mysterious letter, and then

Later, Chengdu suddenly closed the city and reopened the city gates three days later, as well as some street rumors he heard.

Song Zheng's expression remained unchanged and he listened very carefully without saying anything. Wang Ruoxiong misunderstood that the letter was sent by someone arranged by Song Zheng, and Song Zheng did not refute it.

The person who wrote that letter was undoubtedly an insider of Lang Boyan and Jiang Kui, and he had insight into the most secret rebellion plan. He also knew that this bookstore was Song Zheng's intelligence point.

, Song Zheng had already vaguely guessed who the letter writer was.

Luan, this name made Song Zheng quite helpless. He came all the way from Daqi to Shu, and Luan followed him like a ghost. He was trying to kill him. Unexpectedly, after he let him go, he would actually

Jiang Kui and others' plan leaked

Revealed to Wang Ruoxiong. Was he repaying his kindness for sparing his life, or did he expect that Lang Boyan's rebellion would not succeed after he escaped with Lang Bochuan? Or did the words he left to him play a role? It should be a combination of these reasons.

And there is.

That day at the Chang Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, Song Zheng wanted to get rid of Luan, but was eager to save Lang Bochuan and temporarily spared his life. In his heart, Song Zheng still felt a little pity for Luan, an anti-Jin warrior. Jin Qi was safe and sound.

That's all, Ruo Wanyan

Yusheng really wanted to covet Daqi, so Luan came in handy. It should be said that Song Zheng had already noticed the ambition of Wanyan Yusheng, his sworn brother, so Song Zheng finally left Luan with the sentence, "Leave your place

A dog’s life, I’ll kill a gold thief one day!”

Perhaps it was this sentence that made Luan finally change his stance.

Wang Ruoxiong misunderstood the mysterious person Luan as Song Zheng's secret agent ambushing Jiang Kui and Lang Boyan. Song Zheng would not explain anything. However, Song Zheng was quite surprised that Wang Ruoxiong could think of delivering the letter to Princess Ziyue in this way.

I was very impressed. I am afraid that Luan himself could not have imagined that Wang Ruoxiong would actually send the letter to the Shu Palace.

Although it is unclear whether this letter was actually placed on Lang Zhengchun's desk, the fact that Lang Zhengchun was able to act so quickly and put down the rebellion with almost no blood must have gotten the relevant information from somewhere.

Chengdu closed the city for three days, causing some rumors and commotion, but the overall situation was relatively stable. These days, Lang Zhengchun made some adjustments to the Privy Council. Privy Councilor Zhao Yan was dismissed, and Bao Heng, the Councilor for Political Affairs, was replaced in the Privy Council.

In the year of Su Fengnian, Gao Qing and several Fengjie soldiers were arrested, and the generals of the guard were rotated and transferred to other posts, etc., which had little impact on the people.

Lang Zhengchun did not carry out large-scale purges, nor did he pursue Jiang Kui and Lang Boyan, but used various means to temporarily eliminate potential threats. Song Zheng guessed that Lang Zhengchun was waiting for the return of Prince Lang Bochuan. As long as Lang Bochuan returned and the country was consolidated, then

It was time for Lang Zhengchun to take action.

Although Song Zheng had never underestimated Lang Zhengchun, who was obsessed with Taoism, the old emperor's political wisdom still exceeded Song Zheng's expectations. No wonder Lang Zhengchun had been away from political affairs for several years, and there were no major fluctuations in the Kingdom of Shu. This old guy did have two things

Take the brush.

After discussing the situation for a while, Song Zheng learned what he wanted to know and was about to stand up and leave.

Wang Ruoxiong said, "Sir, the prince of Shu..."

Song Zheng's eyes shrank and his face turned cold. Wang Ruoxiong was startled, and he quickly lowered his head and said, "It's a subordinate who overstepped his bounds!"

"I know what you are worried about." Song Zheng said calmly, "Don't worry, we will return to Qi in great glory."

Wang Ruoxiong's face lit up and he responded repeatedly.

"You also need to clean up. In two days we will go to the mountain to collect Zhang Chong's bones. I will take him back." Speaking of Zhang Chong, Song Zheng's tone became much heavier. "Although the danger has passed, since this bookstore

It’s not safe to say that it’s known to the Shu Palace Guards, so you should be more careful.”

"I understand, I will prepare a good coffin for brother Zhang Chong."

Even if Song Zheng didn't tell the details of the bloody battle on Qingcheng Mountain, Wang Ruoxiong could guess a bit about the scene that day. Among dozens of people, only Song Zheng and Lang Bochuan escaped, and Lang Bochuan was also injured, which shows how dangerous it was.

"As for the intelligence network here, let's slowly disband it. Jiang Kui still has some skills. I'm afraid that none of your actions have escaped the surveillance of the Palace Guards. Keeping this intelligence network will not be of much use.

.Go back and ask Usi to send more people to take care of things slowly."

"My subordinates are incompetent and have let you down." Wang Ruoxiong's face was full of shame.

"These things don't happen overnight. Time is too short. You have to work hard without any credit. You will be rewarded when you return to Daqi."

"Thank you very much, sir."

Song Zheng nodded, "Are the five volumes of "Shu Yu Ci" ready?"

"Shu, don't you dare to prepare!" Wang Ruoxiong quickly took it from him and handed it to Song Zheng.

Shu Palace, Qinzheng Hall.

Lang Zhengchun sat on the dragon chair with a haggard face, coughing twice from time to time. His gray hair shook with his body, which made people look very worried. In just ten days, Lang Zhengchun seemed to have aged ten years.

An Zhou, Bao Heng and other important ministers also had bloodshot eyes. Obviously, they were not having a good time these days. There was no news from the Crown Prince and His Highness was plotting a rebellion. This had a huge impact and they had to work hard to stabilize the government.

"Is there no news about the traitor and Jiang Kui yet?" Lang Zhengchun raised his head and asked.

An Zhou and others all turned their attention to Qin Zhong, who was kneeling in the palace. Qin Zhong was ordered to take over the Palace Guards Department. He had to eliminate Jiang Kui's influence and quickly restore the Palace Guards Department. It was obviously a heavy task.

Fortunately, Jiang Kui had not been in charge of the Palace Guards for a long time and had not yet fully opened up the situation. This allowed Qin Zhong to quickly take control of the Palace Guards and get it up and running quickly. But the Palace Guards had to secretly find Jiang Kui and Lang Bo.

Rock, obviously still not strong enough.

"No!" Qin Zhong said feebly, "Second... His Highness has lost track since he left the secret passage that day. As for Jiang Kui, he led a group of followers to pursue the Qi envoy Song Zheng to Daxing Town, and almost caught up with him.

I killed the prince and Song Zheng, but they were tricked by Song Zheng into escaping, and there was no news from either of them. But don’t worry, Your Majesty, I have secretly monitored Jiang Kui’s home, and will arrest him immediately if there is any abnormal movement.”

Lang Zhengchun raised his fist, banged the table hard, and closed his eyes dullly.

At this moment, a eunuch ran in and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has returned! The Crown Prince has returned!"
