Chapter 163 Moving Forward

After talking to Konghai, Cheng Yaojin turned around and said to Qi Guoyuan: "Brother, I should have stayed at you for two more days. But there are still a lot of things in the capital. Anyway, these Japanese people are here, so I will take them away now. After the New Year, I will tell the emperor to live and ask him to transfer you back to the capital. The old guard of the Ministry of Justice is almost done, and you will be able to pick up his stolen property when you come back..."

When Qi Guoyuan heard that Cheng Yaojin didn't even enter the city, he was about to hurry to the capital. He was a little surprised. He pulled Master Cheng aside and whispered: "Fourth Brother, the emperor's will ask you to investigate the attack on the Japanese envoys sent to Tang, and the officials of that county, and the people suddenly disappeared without reason. You left like this. What if the emperor blamed him?"

"What do you care about that?" Cheng Yaojin laughed, ignoring the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the officials around him. After kicking Qi Guoyuan gently, he continued, "I also issued an imperial edict back then. Lao Qi, how many times have you respected? Now if Li Yuan changes, you will know that you are afraid? The sky falls and your fourth brother is holding you. What are you afraid of, the little governor of Hongzhou?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin smiled and looked back at several envoys and monks, and then said to Kōhai: "Tell me about those Japanese people, now they will follow me to Chang'an City. The mountains and rivers are high and the waters are dangerous, so that they will not move around...

Kooka had already heard the conversation between Cheng Yaojin and Governor Qi, but he was still a little surprised by the anxious temper of His Highness Lu's words. He hurriedly explained to Cheng Yaojin: "Your Highness, isn't this a little too hasty? He sent the Tang envoy to bring Emperor Saga to the palace to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Who cares about your three melons and two dates?" Although Cheng Yaojin didn't care, those tributes were not for him after all. After thinking for a while, Old Cheng said to Qi Guoyuan again: "Old Qi, I'll take them back first. Thank you for your hard work, load the tributes brought by the Japanese and send people to Chang'an..."

When Old Cheng spoke, his subordinates had already come over. He even asked the Japanese to get the squads to the carts of his team. Guangxiao and Guan Wuming's master and disciple looked at each other without saying a word, waiting to see what His Highness Lu wanted to do. Qi Guoyuan wanted to persuade him a few more times, and knew his fourth brother's temper. He could only smile bitterly and said to Cheng Yaojin: "Fourth brother, brother, I can't persuade you either. No matter what, I dare not die anymore. When they set out from Japan, there were more than a hundred people, and now there are only a few left. If there are any more casualties, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain."

"Don't worry, I know the fourth brother." After Cheng Yaojin laughed, he said goodbye to Qi Guoyuan. After riding his tall horse again, he ordered the army's rear team to turn to the front team and head towards the road when he came. After Qi Guoyuan took his men for dozens of miles, the two brothers said goodbye. Before leaving, the governor of Qi kept instructing his fourth brother to be careful of these Japanese envoys to send Tang.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and although the team had already lit a torch to light it, it still looked a little gloomy on the road. The envoy from the Tang Dynasty and the monks from Japan remembered what had happened in the two nights after leaving Fuzhou. Looking at the official army in front of him and behind him, they looked like monsters in human skin. They were so scared that they were trembling, waiting for them to be crazy and rush to eat them.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin rode his war horse and went to the carriage where several monks of Konghai were. With the torches of the soldiers beside him, he looked at the appearance of the monks on the carriage, and laughed at the monk Guangxiao beside Konghai, and said, "I just now seemed to have seen some acquaintance. Isn't this Master Guangxiao? In recent years, you have often gone to the prince Jiancheng, and I thought I had read the wrong person. You also know, are you monks bald? They are almost the same..."

"Your Highness King Lu has troubled you." After a smile, Guangxiao continued to say to Cheng Yaojin: "I have some personal relationships with Master Konghai. This time I was here to welcome him, but I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen. I even more unexpectedly, such a small thing will work for you, Your Highness King Lu. It seems that the monk really has some fate with Your Highness..."

"Yes, of course we have a fate. In the last life, Lao Cheng, I kept your child in the well, and I have to pay off the debt in this life..." Cheng Yaojin laughed and was about to continue talking nonsense, the scout ran back from a distance. He whispered a few words in Lao Cheng's ear. Cheng Yaojin nodded after hearing this. He didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal the scout to leave.

After watching the scout run away again, Cheng Yaojin laughed and said to the monks in the carriage: "This time, Cheng, I have been slow to treat several monks, but the emperor is anxious to delay the doubts. You and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty can only eat, drink and rest in the car. If you want to pull and scatter, you will endure it. We have gathered three people to stop and urinate..."

When he said this, Cheng Yaojin paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Kung Hai. After laughing, he said to Kung Hai: "Master Kong Hai, I have something to tell you in advance. The decree that I received was Ping An and a few envoys who sent Tang to the capital. Along the way, someone suddenly wanted to intercept and assassinate the envoys who sent Tang to the Tang Dynasty. I can't say it at that time. When it's really urgent, I can only protect my head. Once I encounter any situation, I will throw you monks halfway through the way. Don't hold a grudge against me, please..."

"Everything goes with the flow. When it comes to an emergency, your highness will just protect the envoys of the Tang Dynasty." After a smile, Kong Hai continued to say to Cheng Yaojin: "Monster, I was originally a translator of the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. When encountering a crisis, even if you use the life of the monk to protect the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, it is still the right thing to do."

Before, Cheng Yaojin said that he came here specifically for Kung Hai, but now he said such things. At present, even Guangxiao and Guan Wuming couldn't figure out what Cheng Yaojin was going to do. With the words of the monk Kong Hai, Cheng Yaojin burst into laughter and then ordered his soldiers to deliver wheat cakes, cooked meat and other food and water to several carriages.

While the two of them were eating and drinking, the scout just now ran back. This time, he sent a Tang envoy and several monks to face Cheng Yaojin in the carriage and said, "Your Highness King Lu! The villagers in the village who walked ten miles away suddenly disappeared. The scout who was supposed to hand over to me was gone. There may be changes in the front. Please beware of your guards."

"The people in a village are missing..." Cheng Yaojin frowned and said to the scout: "You don't have to go find out the news anymore. Just follow the army to guard me. Flag sign! Notify the former army that we will not take this road, and change the way around that village. The whole army moves forward at a rapid speed. If anyone dares to block my way, just kill me regardless of the reason..."

After Cheng Yaojin gave the order, the flag-plaque horse that followed him passed to the front team. At this moment, the scout who had just returned and guarded Cheng Yaojin suddenly changed his face. He pulled his waist knife with a ferocious expression and chopped down the back of Cheng Yaojin, who was not at all prepared.

Seeing that he was about to chop on His Highness Lu's head, the soldiers on both sides of Cheng Yaojin suddenly roared, and then chopped the scout off the horse with the sword already in his hand. After the scout fell to the ground, he did not receive any impact. After screaming, he rushed up from the ground again. He rushed towards Cheng Yaojin's back like a monkey.

Just as the scout rushed into the air, several more guards slashed the scout's sword. The moment he fell to the ground again, a guard on the horse behind him held a big knife in his hand, and the blade slashed the scout's neck from bottom to top. The force was a little stronger and he actually cut off his head directly.
