Chapter 55: Opportunity Comes
This incident happened to Dali Wangting, and it could not be suppressed for long, and it spread quickly; of course, in this relatively primitive world, the spread of information is relatively slow.
At this time, the new king really sent a team to go to Haizhou to announce the imperial edict!
However, when Wang Ting's team left the capital, there was a small convoy that was about to arrive in Haizhou. To be precise, this convoy had only a half-old double-horse carriage and 10 guard cavalry. These cavalry were all tough people, but they were already a little tired now.
"Cough cough..." The old man who was driving the car gasped exhausted.
"Prime Minister, please take a rest and let the little girl come." This is a thirty-year-old woman, extremely dignified and beautiful, although she is wearing simple clothes, she cannot hide her luxury.
"Your Highness, just let the old minister come. If you are a woman, you will inevitably have trouble. And if you persist for another night, you will arrive in Haizhou tomorrow."
"Prime Minister, I, hey... I'm no longer a queen, just a fleeing civilian woman."
"No, in the heart of the old minister, you are the queen!" Although the old man who was driving the car was a little breathing, he was sonorous and powerful. "Although I, Kong Xiang, greedy for power, but as a descendant of the Kong family, cannot rebel!
Sheng Qing is actually a traitor, so I will not be with him (with the same flow and defilement).
"Thank you so much, thank you so much!" The queen shivered in fear in the car. The tragedy she had just experienced made the pampered queen unacceptable for a while. "If it weren't for the Prime Minister, my mother and daughter would have been tragically killed by a traitor."
"Oh, Your Highness, this is what the old minister should do. Unfortunately, as today as it is, we can only have the vitality to go to Haizhou."
"Why must it be Haizhou?" the queen couldn't understand.
"Because Sheng Qing was able to successfully usurp the throne this time, there must be other earls behind him. According to the old minister's inference, the states near Zhongzhou were probably not allowed to be accused even if they did not participate. In this case, we would not have a way out.
In this way, only Haizhou in the east is relatively clean. And I recently calculated based on my luck that my vitality is in the east. So, I thought about it for a long time and felt more at ease when I went to Haizhou."
"Ah..." the queen exclaimed. Using luck to calculate, at least one fortune will be consumed! It is almost a year since the accumulation of luck in the Kong family of Wangting; this can no longer be described as precious.
"Driving!" The old prime minister waved the horse whip. For an authentic Confucian scholar, driving and riding a horse must be able to do it; even when it is possible, you must practice your hands and feet properly. Of course, reading is the main thing.
It turned out that Prime Minister Kong Xiang and the Censor who Li Chang did not see in the court were here. When the throne was usurped, he actually led the queen and princess out of the royal capital and came all the way to Haizhou.
In the eyes of the old prime minister, this small place in Haizhou is not only barren but also chaotic, and should be able to effectively avoid the eyes of the new king. But the old prime minister didn't know that behind them, there was a team of more than a dozen people, but they were all riding horses and galloping. They were holding the new king's imperial edict in their hands and preparing to go to Haizhou to announce the imperial edict!
The road was full of dust, and the group finally set foot on Beixian at dawn the next day; then followed the road towards Haizhou.
"Crack and Crack..." Suddenly the carriage began to shake, and then with a clatter, the wheels broke; in an instant, the carriage rolled directly.
For a moment, people were in chaos; it turned out that after a long period of running, the carriage had already been overwhelmed by the weight. After thousands of miles of running, the wooden wheels had already reached their limit.
The cold wind whistled, and the dirty queen hugged a trembling little girl, and the mother and the two were in a mess. The elderly prime minister Kong Xiang also lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a moment.
"Sir! Your Highness!" For a moment, the same exhausted guards quickly helped the prime minister up. However, after looking at the already damaged carriage, they had no idea for a while. In everyone's consciousness, the noble woman should make a carriage, and the prime minister should also take a carriage. Now the carriage is damaged, and there is such desolation around here, I really don't know how to do it for a while.
This is not pedantic, but a hierarchical stiffness.
"Ride your horse forward." The old prime minister sighed. Fortunately, he had reached the boundary of Haizhou, but he might have to walk more than ten miles of mountain road next. This is really...
Rumble... The sound of horse hooves came from behind the road. The sound of horse hooves was neat, powerful, and rapid.
From a distance, I saw a fluttering flag, a black flag, and a golden abstract dragon pattern on it.
The envoy of the capital! Seeing these dozen people, the prime minister's face changed instantly!
"Brush..." The galloping horse stopped not far from the prime minister. The leader walked over straight, with a long sword hanging around his waist, and it was obvious that he was not Yi Yu; although his tights were also very luxurious; "Oh, look, see who I saw?
Your Highness, Your Majesty, longing for you day and night, why did you run here if you are not staying in the palace? Also, isn’t this Prime Minister Kong and Doctor Kong? Why did Lord Kong elope with the queen if he is not good at first-rank officials? Haha, this is really a strange story in the world!”
"How dare you talk nonsense!" Kong Xiang looked at the person in front of him with a very ugly face. But Confucian scholars have a kind of backbone, especially some old Confucian scholars. Although they are not usually awkward, sometimes they can stand up and not fear death when facing justice and danger!
"Hmph! I am Zhang Jing, the former minister of the Imperial Palace! My sister is now one of the four concubines.
Kong Xiang, you are so brave. Not only do you not assist the king in the court and rectify the world, but you lead the queen to elope! It is actually a serious crime to kill the nine clans! You will also be lingchi at Caishikou!"
"You...you talk nonsense!" At this moment, the queen was so angry that she shivered all over.
"Oh, Queen Jiang, don't you know that because of your escape, all the Jiang clans were arrested? The king has said that if the queen can't apologize in front of the king for three months, you can only meet underground.
Haha, I didn’t expect that when I just came to Haizhou to announce the imperial edict, I actually met two people. Oh, there was another little girl. Oh, isn’t this your Highness Princess Qingyue? Your Highness, let’s go with us. Look, Your Highness Princess is blowing cold wind in this poor place. It’s so pitiful.”
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he suddenly turned to look at Kong Xiang’s guards, "You are really ruthless. You dare to hold the queen and princess hostage, and even let the two nobles suffer such treatment. You should be punished! Kill!"
How could the tired soldiers be the opponents of these tiger and wolf men? In the blink of an eye, there were only five left. Seeing despair coming on the princess who had just escaped...
"Stop!" Swallow... A sharp arrow blocked the attacks of both sides. A sudden shout came from the rumbling horse hooves: "Who dares to kill people in Haizhou!"
As the sound of horse hooves approached, a young man who looked fourteen or fifteen years old rumbled with his vitality, and 11 brave knights followed behind him.
"I am Zhang Jing, the former assistant minister of the King of the King, who came to Haizhou to read out the king's grace. Now, I am catching the wanted criminals, and you are sure to stop them!"
Well? Xiao Hao was a little hesitant for a moment. What's going on? But no matter how you look at the scene, it's all the legendary scene of evil people!
"Save us, young master." The queen suddenly calmed down, "I am the queen..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Jing shouted coldly, then turned to look at Xiao Hao, "Young master, Wang Ting is doing things, you'd better stay away from it! Don't cause trouble!"
"Hmm? Wang Ting?" Xiao Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did you send money?"
"What?" Zhang Jing didn't hear it clearly for a while.
"Since we are here in Haizhou, let's go to our place to 'sit'!" Xiao Hao hasn't figured out the situation yet, but he must not let it go. It's better to arrest everyone from both sides.
"Who are you?" Zhang Jing looked at Xiao Hao with a vigilant look. Although he was tall and strong, all 11 people on the other side held crossbow arrows and pointed them at him. This was definitely a big killing weapon.
"Aren't you coming to Haizhou to announce the imperial edict? Just give it to me." Xiao Hao looked at the other party coldly, and then he could roughly know the situation when he looked at the other party's posture.
"You? Xiao Hao!"
"Oh? Has my young master's name been passed to Wangdu?" Xiao Hao touched his chin with a proud look on his face.
"Haha, of course, of course, the Earl has spread all over the world in the dog hole!"
"Tsk!" Xiao Hao's face tightened. As far as he knew, the Qingzhou Bo was not a broad-minded person. However, Xiao Hao quickly threw this idea behind him. The situation at that time could not tolerate himself to surrender. "Brother Han, go and take the king's order."
"Okay!" Han Sheng smiled, pressed the handle of the knife with his left hand, walked forward with great strides, and came to Zhang Jing in a few steps, "Mr. Zhang, bring it!"
"You, you..." Zhang Jing was trembling all over, but when he saw the 10 people in front of him holding crossbows, he took them out very consciously.
According to normal circumstances, I should have stood at the gate of the Xiao family to read the king's order, and the entire Xiao family knelt on their backs. But now, looking at the arrows flashing with cold light, I felt cold sweat coming out on my head. This time, Lord Zhang directly felt what "harmony" means. Damn, this is not a disagreement, but after the other person arrived, he just drew his sword to face each other without even saying a few words!
"Take it away!" Xiao Hao snorted coldly. Everyone was all out of their weapons and moved forward slowly.
At this moment, Xiao Hao had already found out about the situation.
"Rebel? Hey, the opportunity is here!" Xiao Hao's eyes lit up! When he heard these news, Xiao Hao's first reaction was like this!
