Chapter 302 Uneasy
Chapter 302: Restless
The dishes at the banquet were very rich, most of them were special dishes from Jiling City, and some were delicacies brought by Ai Dong and others. Although Eunuch Liu and Commander Ma had seen many delicacies and seafood in the palace every day, they were free for the first time and were accompanied by fine wine, so how could they not be happy?
Of course, Li Chong was very happy. The two of them were not prepared, which shows that Li Chong was still a confidant in Yun Aotian's eyes.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, before Li Chong could get out of his way to Kyoto, Eunuch Liu first put down his wine glass and spoke it out.
The reason why the Great Yun Dynasty was stable is that there was still peace among various forces, and at least all forces could maintain the current situation, but Li Chong's appearance broke the peace.
As one force rises, except for Prince Yong and the Huang family who has a grudge, the other forces also feel the last moment of balance, and everything may have changed because of Li Chong.
At this time, more than a dozen towns returned in vain to attack Ji Ling City, and the news that the entire army was almost destroyed reached all the forces, and Li Chong's importance became even more prominent.
Some people are happy and some are worried. The forces of Prince Yong sent envoys at the first time to contact Li Chong, hoping to absorb Li Chong. After all, Li Chong has clearly shown his grudge against Prince Yong, and at this time, Prince Yong will certainly not let these people succeed.
The battle in Jiling City was the first time such a large-scale battle had occurred in the Dayun Dynasty in more than ten years. The government and the people were shocked and could no longer hide it. In the court, Prince Yong was glad that he did not send the sealer to participate. At the same time, he also complained first, suing Li Chong for being unable to control the territory, which led to the mob. He suggested that Li Chong be removed from his official position and take back the territory. The Huang family of the four major families also hated Li Chong to the core. As the four major families, there was no official in the court. Now more than a dozen officials met Prince Yong's proposal.
Although he was a confidant, Li Chong was too capable and had too strong plans. Yun Aotian could not worry. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Aotian called Li Chong back to Kyoto. While asking in detail, he also gave some benefits, making him more devoted to himself. The two thousand imperial guards were to welcome and protect Li Chong's safety along the way.
Li Chong was taken back to Kyoto by the Imperial Guard in a distant border town. Li Chong can be said to be the first person since the Dayun Dynasty opened its borders.
Of course, in Eunuch Liu's mouth, it was not that Yun Aotian was not worried about Li Chong, but Yun Aotian missed Li Chong very much and hoped to learn about the folk customs of Jiling City from him.
The banquet was at the third update, and the guests and hosts all enjoyed each other and sent the slightly drunk Eunuch Liu and Commander Ma back to the room. Li Chong sat in his room and began to think deeply.
It started to dawn soon, and before Eunuch Liu could get up, Ji Tong had already arrived in Li Chong's house.
In the middle of the night, Li Chong was always restless and felt as if something was going to happen, but at this time he had no clue. The intelligence network that the Ji Feng brothers and he had initially established was now his only channel to know the outside world.
All the news brought by Ji Tong this time were unfiltered messages, and they were strange events that happened in Ji Ling City within half a month.
Looking at the information in his hand, Li Chong was soon attracted by a series of seemingly inconspicuous information.
There was a caravan in Dongliguo, with thirty-seven people. He sold goods in the city at Wangji Furry Store. Then he walked thirty-six people, leaving one person to start Liji Furry Store, located in Defu Street.
There was a Dongliguo caravan with 52 people, selling goods at Wangji Furry Store and Liji Furry Store, leaving three people as Liji's cousin.
Dongli Kingdom... Half a month, several caravans from Dongli Kingdom came every day. This was not unusual. After all, Jiling City is an important border trade center, and Prince Yong's territory is the only border land with Dongli Kingdom. It is normal for merchant groups to deal with each other.
Toray Country produces fur, and everyone knows it. Moreover, fur is very popular in Dayunchao. However, a caravan delivers goods to Wang Ji every day, but in the end, he still does not forget to deliver goods to Wang Ji. This is simply contrary to common sense.
The so-called colleagues are enemies, and the caravan opens another fur shop. Obviously, the purpose is not that simple. Don’t think that these are also detailed contact points for Toraya’s country in Jiling City. However, during peacetime between the two countries, the message transmission was so frequent, which was obviously not so simple.
"I ordered everyone in the city to keep an eye on these two fur shops. Even if they went to the restaurant for dinner, they would find out where they were sitting, who had been in close contact with, what they had eaten, and everything they had to do to track down everything related to me, but try not to disturb them as much as possible." After hesitating for a moment, Li Chong immediately ordered that although he didn't know why he felt bad in his heart, he vaguely felt that it was related to these two fur shops.
He had to drive to Kyoto in one or two hours, and he was not allowed to take his followers this time. As his foundation and the safety of Ji Ling City in the rear, he was the thing that worried him the most. For this reason, Li Chong also specially wrote a letter to ask Bai to give up Jiayu City and return to Ji Ling City to settle everything.
Everything was arranged and it was time to have breakfast. After having breakfast with Eunuch Liu and Commander Ma, Li Chong immediately followed the Imperial Guard toward Kyoto.
However, it is not allowed to bring the seal warriors and guards on the surface, but Ji Tong is flexible. While Li Chong is moving away, he also followed behind him and handed over all the intelligence system of Ji Ling City to Ji Feng.
When the Imperial Guards traveled, they had to reflect the majesty of the royal family. They walked at noon and stopped at dusk. When Ji Lingcheng arrived in Kyoto, the group walked for eight days. After entering Kyoto, everyone actually slept in the suburbs for one night. It was not until dawn the next day that the large group of people drove towards Kyoto.
Li Chong was depressed along the way, but it was not because he had to maintain various etiquette during the march. Li Chong had to abide by it, which made him basically not practiced for eight days, and even practiced was quickly interrupted. Perhaps night was the best time for him to practice.
The Imperial Guards opened the way, accompanied by Eunuch Liu, and Li Chong walked through the city gate and went straight to the palace.
It seemed as if to wait for Li Chong, Eunuch Liu was just right at this time. As soon as Li Chong entered the palace, the ministers in Tianhe Palace started to court early, and Li Chong was accompanied by Eunuch Liu.
From the fifth-rank guard, he was not qualified to step into the Tianhe Hall. This is the place where all the ministers discuss national affairs.
Li Chong also felt very novel when he came here. Unlike what he saw in the movie before traveling through time, it seemed normal on the outside, but the Tianhe Palace was like a primeval forest, with various huge trees soaring into the sky, and the entire roof seemed to be supported by a huge canopy.
