Two hundred and fifty-three, the confrontation in the princess palace + cult

Qi Fang felt a little uneasy and full of anger. She rode her horse and rushed towards the west of the city. As she walked along the way, she ordered people to go to the yamen to transfer both the yamen and the yamen runners to come over just in case.

The west of the city, why go to the west of the city...

As she walked, she couldn't help but remember, isn't the west of the city the Princess' Mansion? There were many mobs gathered there, and it has been like this for dozens of days. Those mobs believed in the words of the universal immortals. Luzhou was full of disasters and difficulties, because Princess Qing'an was a witch who came to the world. When she got married, she brought the disaster to Luzhou. Therefore, they besieged the Princess' Mansion and wanted to kill the princess.

In fact, Qi Fang knew in her heart that everyone was just afraid of Ding Yi and was afraid that if they didn't hand over the princess' head, the 100,000 troops in Suzhou would siege Luzhou, but they could not say that they were afraid of death. So if they wanted to kill the princess, they always had to find an excuse to cover up. So they passed on it and even cheated themselves...

"Hurry up, send someone to urge them, let them hurry up!" Qi Fang felt uneasy and hurriedly urged. After a while, the people from the yamen and the remaining people from the Xiang army came over, and more than 800 people were scattered.

During this period, people did not dare to go out at night. The city was in chaos and there were looting almost every day.

The people were bewitched by the great immortals of the world and did not farm all day long. They worshiped gods and the Xiang army also ran away many. Most of the wealthy families with wealthy families have already left Luzhou to take refuge with their families.

There were more than 800 people, many of whom were disheveled and were negligent. Some of them didn’t even have any decent weapons and came up with feces forks.

Qi Fang also knew that they could not blame them all. After all, although the government paid the money, Luzhou's grain is now expensive, so they could not buy much grain at all. They could not support themselves, so they could only sell things for food.

Some military weapons were also stolen by deserters, and the newly added soldiers did not have any decent military equipment at all.

"Start and go to the west of the city. Be careful on the road and fight at any time." Qi Fang said that, with a nervous team, he began to walk to the west of the city.

The west of the city is the Princess' Mansion, of course, as long as people from Luzhou are called the Princess' Mansion.

Because everyone knows that the Liu family is actually the Princess Qing'an in charge. Her husband is a useless fool. She is only good at speaking and sensual, and has no ability at all. The Princess' Mansion has a great cause and is entirely supported by the princess. Over time, people simply call the Princess' Mansion to mock the princess' incompetence.

Qi Fang was a little anxious when he rode a horse and led the team quickly to the princess's mansion.

Princess Qing'an is one of the people she admires the most. After all, she is a daughter, and she knows how difficult it is for a woman to do this. She seems noble and has no choice but to do so.

She married a faraway place at a young age, and was thousands of miles away from the capital. Her daughter's family was so lonely. If she were an ordinary person, she would have collapsed long ago, let alone an incompetent husband who cares about things...

When she was feeling emotion, she was getting closer and closer to the west of the city. She heard a dense sound like thunder suddenly coming from a distance. The horse under her crotch was shocked and almost threw her off: "What's going on?"

Qi Fang was shocked and suspicious, and the soldiers were also a little panicked. She quickly stabilized everyone and continued to move forward.

Turning around the corner, you can already see the high walls and courtyards of the Princess Mansion, red bricks and green tiles, which are more conspicuous than the surrounding buildings.

From afar, she had already smelled a strange smell, as if something was burning. As she gradually approached, she was surprised to find dozens of corpses piled up outside the princess's mansion, with blood all over the ground, and the smell of blood was very strong, indicating that these people had just died, and rows of soldiers who she had never seen before were guarding the door.

The soldiers were holding a strange stick, carrying a knife around their waists, and wearing exquisite soft armor. When they saw them approaching, the sticks pointed at this side, half-kneeling in the front row and standing in the back row. They didn't know what formation they formed, and the leader said loudly: "The person who comes will stop, the Shenji will do his business, and you will not be able to kill them further."

Qi Fang suppressed his anger and raised his hand to stop the team from moving forward: "I am Qi Fang, the chief commander of the Luzhou Xiangjun Army. Who are you? You are trespassing into my Luzhou City."

Nadu stepped forward: "We are the Shenji Camp under the command of King Pingnan, and the Tianjia Pingnan King takes care of the affairs, and the idle people avoid it."

Qi Fang became even more angry. The other party looked like there were only two or three hundred people. Not only did they break into her Luzhou City, they were still so arrogant. What is a idle person waiting for? She is in charge of Luzhou affairs and in charge of the Luzhou Xiangjun. Is this also called idle person waiting for?

However, she still held back her anger, because maybe a prince came to Luzhou. Although these people didn't understand what the strange sticks were on their hands, they were wearing good sabers, wearing exquisite soft armor, neatly arranged, and were not panicked when facing people several times their own. At first glance, they were elite, and they were not comparable to local wing soldiers.

"I ask to meet King Pingnan." Qi Fang said.

Everyone thought for a moment: "I'll ask someone to inform you, you can't wait here and do not move." Then he waved his hand and sent someone to inform you.

Qi Fang took the opportunity to carefully examine the corpses on the ground and found that some of them were still alive and about a dozen dead people, all mobs besieging the princess's mansion, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

This prince doesn’t know the importance of the matter at all and doesn’t understand people’s hearts. He thought that killing a few people in an impulse could make a mistake? This matter will only become more and more serious! Kill ten people today, and a hundred and a thousand people tomorrow. Then the princess’s mansion will be in danger!

Regardless of whether the other party is a prince or not, the court has long ignored them. What qualifications are there to make a point at this time? Luzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital. Here, she has the final say. I hope that the King of Pingnan can understand this truth. If he doesn't understand, he will let him understand it well...

Thinking of this, Qi Fang's face gradually became gloomy, and then she showed no signs, allowing the elite soldiers wearing armor to stand in front of the queue.

She also wanted to see the prince who was so brave that he dared not travel thousands of miles south, crossing the rebel territory and entering Luzhou.

Maybe he is a man who is very old and arrogant, and has the experience of leading troops to fight. After all, marching thousands of miles south is not a joke. If he does not have experience, ordinary people will not be able to do it.

She saw the famous flags in the military formation, the three dragon pattern flag, the yellow gold character "Li" and the prince. The title of king of Jingchao was very strict. The princes across the country could count it with one hand. Which prince would take the risk of going south...

Soon, the crowd became turbulent. After a while, the soldiers at the door separated one road in an orderly manner, and then the Prince of Pingnan appeared in front of her.

Qi Fang was stunned for a moment.

It’s not that the other person looks like a good person, but... she is so young that she can’t believe her eyes. The prince in front of her is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she has not taken off her childishness, and her facial contour is not obvious, but her figure is taller than that of an ordinary child of the same age.

"This..." Could it be wrong?

Qi Fang was still thinking this way in her heart, and the young man said lightly: "I am here, are you going to talk to me immediately?"

Qi Fang thought of thousands of ways to meet, how to speak, how to speak politely, and how to establish authority, but she never thought that the situation was like this. She suddenly became a little confused. When she heard this majestic voice, she subconsciously turned over and dismounted, and then knelt on one knee and said, "Qi Fang, the chief commander of the Luzhou Xiangjun, had met the Prince of Pingnan!"

When she knelt down, Qi Fang suddenly realized that it was wrong! She was about to give the King of Pingnan...

Just as he didn't want to stand up by himself to show his tough attitude, he heard the young King Pingnan respond again: "Pretty, I don't have that big air."

Suddenly, Qi Fang was stunned. When she got up, she obeyed the King of Pingnan. But if she didn't get up, could she still kneel down?

After a lot of trouble, she stood up, and the soldiers behind her were also weakened, because in their opinion, her governor must completely obey the King of Pingnan in front of her.

Qi Fang was anxious and wondered why she always felt that since she saw the King of Pingnan, she had every word and action under his control? But looking at his tender face, his age at fifteen or sixteen...

It's an illusion, it must be an illusion, probably just a coincidence. The King of Pingnan happened to say a few words appropriate, and then the blind cat met a dead mouse.

Thinking of this, Qi Fang immediately took the initiative and bowed and said, "The officials did not know that the King of Pingnan was coming and they were in a position to welcome him. But there was one thing unknown. Why did the King of Pingnan kill the soldiers on the top of my city? According to our city defense, the situation in Luzhou is now turbulent, and the rebels are eyeing each soldier. Every soldier is the top priority in defending the country. Please ask the prince to give the officials an explanation."

She said neither humble nor arrogantly, and at the same time, she took a step back without any trace, making the soldiers standing behind her even more conspicuous.

Qi Fang has been smart since childhood and has learned a lot from her father. She understands when to speak, how to do things, and how to take advantage of the situation. Many people can't stand it when they speak.

But slowly, the smile on Qi Fang's face frozen...

Because the young King Pingnan was not at all panic, he seemed to look at her with a smile in his eyes, and his contemptuous look made her very upset.

"Are you talking to me?"

"That's right!" Qi Fang also became angry.

"That's right. I am just about to talk about this. The Luzhou defenders actually refused to enter the city. They wanted to close the door and keep me out of the door. This is a very disrespectful crime!

According to Jing Chaolu, it is reasonable for me to kill them. I just don’t know if they were done by one person or were instructed by someone. Even if they were not instructed, Shangguan would be a dereliction of duty. Is it reasonable for Miss Chi?" he asked lightly.

Qi Fang's breathing stagnated and suddenly found that she was forced into a dead corner by a few words...

"Prince!" She had to bite the bullet and emphasize her tone: "This is Luzhou. As a Luzhou parent official, the subordinate officials have the right to protect the complete city of Luzhou. It is also necessary to be careful when the defenders come from afar. The prince comes from afar and is exhausted, so don't worry about unnecessary things..."

This was said more bluntly, and he also told the King of Pingnan that he was the master of the place, if he could understand it.

"A coincidence." But the young Prince Pingnan suddenly stepped forward with his hands behind his back and looked at her with condescending attention: "I have never eaten only the kitchen and no water downstream."

For some reason, facing the little child, she actually felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, feeling anxious. The chef's lunch means that the host cooks and receives guests, eats first in the kitchen, and the water downstream is also the one who lives at the bottom. This Pingnan King...

The King of Pingnan looked at her with no expression on his face: "Generally speaking, a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, but a dragon is a dragon, a snake is a snake. The dragon enters the nine heavens, calls the wind and rain, and the snake enters the thick soil, be cautious. If the snake angers the dragon, everyone will break the death of the fish. Do you think the snake dies first or the dragon dies first?"

Qi Fang looked at his deep eyes and his cold eyes. He listened to his meaningful words and felt as if the cold was in the bones. He trembled in his heart and subconsciously agreed: "Snake...Snake dies first, maybe..."

"Yes, at least on this issue, we can reach an agreement. Now, Miss Qi is still a Luzhou parent official and still controls Luzhou, but the premise is that the dragon is ahead of the snake, do you understand?"

Qi Fang had to nodded obediently...

.........

Li Xingzhou found that things were always going back and forth and could not get out of it. He finally became a good person and had to become a bad person again.

As a person from later generations, he has seen countless such situations in history books. When people fall into despair and have no way out, their spiritual sustenance collapses and they will easily be deceived and brainwashed by some fallacies and cult remarks. Many people believe in many nonsense and nonsense remarks.

For example, if you burn yourself to a certain skill that can reach the new world, eat no more than a lot of rice every day and can cultivate immortality, etc.

Faced with the crazy crowd besieging the Princess's Mansion, Li Xingzhou had to order the shooting.

At this time, it is useless to think naively about reasoning. Fortunately, these people have not been so crazy that they have been completely brainwashed, and their instinctive fear of death still makes them scatter and run away.

Li Xingzhou took the opportunity to enter the Prince's Consort's Mansion.

The prince-consort's mansion was in ruins, with crossbows, swords and guns everywhere on the periphery. It was like a small city. Most people had dark circles, deep eye sockets, very sloppy, and their faces were filled with anxiety.

When he heard that the reinforcements of the court came, several men cried on the spot, and some people ran to call the princess happily. Then, he finally saw Li Nianqiu, a little sister who was very nice to him, despite being thousands of miles apart.

She was wearing a woman-like bun, with haggard makeup and a beige dress. She was a beautiful woman in her thirties. When she saw Li Xingzhou, she was stunned for a moment, and then hugged him and started to cry.

Li Xingzhou didn't know how to comfort her.

After crying for a long time, I took his hand and started asking, how did he come, whether he was injured, how many people he brought, etc....

When I heard that he only brought a thousand people, my sister-in-law started crying again and called him ignorant at the same time. It was not that she disliked the few people she brought, but that she was ignorant of the importance and was too risky. She dared to go south if she brought a thousand people, but that she would be gone if she accidentally...

But at this moment, someone reported that Qi Fang, the chief commander of the Luzhou Xiangjun, wanted to see him.

After hearing this, my sister-in-law gave him a special instructing that Qifang was the daughter of Qidong, Huaihua Prefecture in Luzhou. She is a very capable person and has always been good at the Princess' Mansion.

That's a strong woman. After saying that, Li Xingzhou has actually guessed the purpose of Qi Fang's visit.

Sure enough, as he thought, although there were differences, the human desire for rights was stronger than expected and the means were sophisticated.

Unfortunately, in front of Li Xingzhou, these are not worth mentioning and playing with power tricks, he has studied them for half his life in his previous life.

.........

After defeating Fang, he asked the soldiers of Shenji Camp to give up the city and retreat into the city. He set up camp near the Prince's Mansion. Because this place was big enough, after temporarily settled, he didn't have time to rest, so he talked to his sister-in-law about the situation in Suzhou.

After learning about it specifically, Li Xingzhou realized that the situation was indeed very complicated. It was different from his initial idea. There was indeed internal struggle in Luzhou, but it was not the government and rebels, but the government and cults.

To some extent, cults are more terrifying than rebels, because those who are brainwashed are not afraid of death...

The universal immortal is really a tricky person.

Immediately, Li Xingzhou asked about the specific matters about this universal immortal respected by the people. The younger sister told him in detail, but the more she talked about it, the more she felt that Li Xingzhou felt inexplicably ridiculous. Gradually, she felt relieved.
