Chapter 241: The power collapses, and the king enters Jin Yongcheng
The carefully prepared chess game was quickly broken. When others heard about it, they would not think about the reason. The first feeling was that the person who set up the chess game was really not capable, so that people could break it so quickly.
At this level, no matter who challenges foreign masters, he will underestimate it. This momentum will invisibly decline a lot and will also become a burden for Jiang Yi, when he adds extra pressure.
So the best choice is undoubtedly to retreat again. At least you have to wait until Chen Zhi arrives in Linyi before making a decision.
When Jiang Yi heard this, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Since you have already set out, there is no reason to retreat. Besides, I still have to ask for help this time. If I don't go, who will I become?"
After hearing this, Jiang Hu understood his young master’s plan, and sighed in his heart and responded.
In this way, the convoy headed north.
Time passed, and when the evening came, Chen Zhi and his convoy settled in a village.
"Stay for a night in this town and you will be able to arrive in Linyi before noon tomorrow." Zuo Qing introduced it immediately, and then the convoy dispersed.
This village is not big, but it is not far from the official road. There are countless travelers and travelers, so there is no shortage of inns. Many households even build their own houses and free up a few rooms, which are specially used to provide accommodation for people when there are the most people coming and going to make some money.
Recently, due to Xingtan's discussion, Wang Jiawenhui, etc., there are so many people coming and going from north to south that this town has been overcrowded. When Chen Zhi and the others arrived, there were no empty rooms at all.
However, when he heard Chen Zhi and others report their own home, many people took the initiative to let the room out. Chen Zhi and others should not be too shameless. After some negotiations, they took two rooms and planned to sleep with a few. After only one night, they would go on the road again.
Then, there were endless visits, and after the social event, it was already late at night.
"It's really not a good thing to be famous. Brother Chen, I finally understand why you practice martial arts and work hard before you set off. It turns out that it's just to deal with such a scene."
When he returned to the room, Liu Gang breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the seat. If the elders of the Liu family saw it, they would inevitably scold him and say that he had no manners.
However, Liu Gang was really tired at this time, because those who came to visit were more chaotic than Kaiyang County and really took a lot of energy.
"Brother Liu, you're just a sidekick. Brother Chen is the one who is the master. You see, he still looks calm and relaxed, but you have become like this. I think you really have time to make a good job of hard work." Lu Ying shook his head slightly, and said as he knelt down and sat down with a standard posture. However, if someone stood behind him, he could see that his clothes had been soaked in sweat.
Chen Zhi and the others also sat down at this time. Several people were about to say something, so they each slept peacefully. The newly joined Zuo Qing, Zhou Yan, and Lu Jing were not here.
But before I could speak here, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Then, without waiting for Chen Zhi and others to react, the door was pushed open and a person came in.
Everyone looked in the voice and recognized that it was Zhao Xing's servant. They immediately became confused because this person was quite steady in the past. Now he not only rashly pushed the door, but also had a hint of panic on his face. When he came to the house, he didn't even bother to pay any attention to greetings, he came to Zhao Xing and lowered a note.
Zhao Xing took it with a puzzled look on his face. He took it away and saw that his face immediately changed, and even sweat flowed down his forehead.
The others looked at him with inexplicable doubts. On weekdays, Zhao Xing always collapsed in Mount Tai and his face remained unchanged. At this time, his expression changed drastically because of a note, and the contents made people curious.
However, if Zhao Xing doesn't say it, it's hard for others to ask about it.
Fortunately, Zhao Xing had no intention of hiding it, so he handed the leaps to Chen Zhi directly, then looked at people with a serious expression and whispered: "Everyone, the King of Donghai has gone to Jinyong City."
"What Jinyong City?" Liu Gang was stunned at first when he heard about it, then his heart was trembling, then widened his eyes, and finally took a breath, and he was stunned in place.
The reactions of the others were not as strong as his, but their expressions changed drastically. Even Chen Zhi frowned after reading the contents on the note and couldn't say it for a long time.
Jinyong City is a small town in the imperial capital Luoyang. It was not special at first, but now most of the royal family that lost power will be moved to live there. There are still several concubines and the queen mother living there. The most famous of them is the deposed prince Liu Qi.
The deposed prince was the eldest son of the late emperor. Later, he was deposed and renamed King of Hejian, but he never returned to his fiefdom and lived in Jinyong City.
Therefore, this Jinyong City is a cold palace for the royal family.
As the son of Xuanwu, Donghai King was naturally a royal family with a strong roots. He entered Jinyong City. The political significance of this can be seen without any question.
Tao Ya came back from surprise, lowered his voice, and asked in a low voice: "Why will the King of East Sea suddenly enter Jinyong City? It's a bit too wrong. He is powerful in the court and the king of East Sea! Is this news true or false?"
Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "I only have this note here. It was agreed with my family when I left Beijing that if there was anything big, I would send the message as soon as possible, but the detailed content would definitely not be written on it to prevent the emergence of the situation. Judging from the marks in my heart, it is not fake."
"This kind of news is enough to shock the court. I don't know what it means." Even Lu Ying, who was not very interested in his career, showed concern after hearing this news.
Tao Ya frowned and said, "All news during this period is turbulent. First, the Marquis of Wuxiang led the army north, and then suddenly was removed from office. Then the Marquis of Wuxiang returned to the court. Now the military affairs in the north are unknown, but the court first broke out such news, or something like this, alas..."
Liu Gang suddenly said, "Since it was after the Marquis of Wuxiang returned to the court, the King of Donghai suddenly entered Jinyong City, then is there any connection between these two things? Brother Zhao, I don't know if there is any news about Marquis of Wuxiang in your news?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Then his expressions changed, and his eyes fell on Zhao Xing. The latter could only shake his head and smile bitterly, saying, "These are just speculations. If you want to say something is wrong, you really can't say it. You can only continue to wait for news at the moment."
Chen Zhi asked at this time: "Brother Zhao, are you going back?"
Zhao Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This matter is just to inform me of it. Let me pay attention here. Whether I will go or not will have no effect on the overall situation, so I don't have to go back."
Chen Zhi smiled and said, "That's it. This court affairs are far away from the sky and have little to do with us. Don't take it seriously. Just think about the upcoming literary meeting. This is the top priority."
He saw that several people were frowning, so he spoke comforted him.
"Actually, I have learned some things recently. Before the King of East China Sea, there were two princes who were in power. Now one has returned to the fiefdom and the other is in Jinyong City. However, I have not noticed the changes in the court in Pengcheng. It can be seen that the changes in the court will not affect the local area."
The prince mentioned in Chen Zhi's words was not a fabrication. When the others heard this, they felt a little relieved.
However, Chen Zhi, who said these words, was not at ease.
"The current changes can only be considered political and change, and they cannot affect the local area on the surface, but changes in the court will inevitably bring about policy recurrence. This impact will not emerge immediately, but it will definitely affect all parts of the regime in the end."
When everyone went to bed and blew out the lights, Chen Zhi was still thinking about this.
"Besides, judging from what I currently know, there have been several political changes in recent years. This is not a good momentum. Now it is just a political subversion. If it develops into a military competition in the future, it will not be a fun thing."
With such thoughts, he fell asleep.
The next day, the convoy set off again while seeing off the people in the town. The interest of everyone on the bus decreased a little and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
Zhou Yan and Lu Jing didn't understand why, so he wanted to ask, but because of insufficient relationship, he did not dare to speak rashly.
In this atmosphere, the convoy finally drove into Linyi.
As soon as you enter this place, the villages and towns along the way appear orderly, and even the farmers who farm in the fields seem more calm than other places.
"It is worthy of being the foundation of the Wang family, and it already has a bit of Jiangnan aura."
Seeing this scene, the solemn atmosphere in the car became a little weaker, and Lu Ying even started to appreciate it.
As we walked forward, the crowds became denser, which was even more popular than Kaiyang County, but it did not have the lively smell. Instead, it became a little more indifferent, and the pedestrian was even more calm.
In addition, there are many people who are obviously practicing Kung Fu walking on the street.
"These people are afraid they are like gossipers, are they? The descendants of the Mo family branch." Liu Gang noticed that these people had been trained, because in Kaiyang County, there were almost no such figures, but many gathered here.
Zuo Qing, the side of the country, explained: "The Wang family has many advocacy, so the country is relaxed, so this kind of ranger often comes. Now there are literary events, so they will certainly not miss it."
"It's interesting, now I can open my eyes again." Liu Gang showed an interesting look when he heard this.
As a result, before the convoy entered Linyi City, there was a sudden commotion behind the convoy, and a group of people rushed over. As they walked, they shouted: "Defeated! Defeated! That Yiyan Gongzi Jiang Yi, lost in two consecutive games, and now he can no longer stop the path of the little prince of the Huns. He has made way. The little prince has already left!"
The group of people rushed over like a strong wind, and flew past in a blink of an eye. The shouting words came into the city, making Tao Ya and others look at each other.
