Chapter 40: Historical conspiracy nightmare

Qi Zi, a yin and yang man, is a hermit and lives between the mountains and the wild all the year round. If it hadn't been for the queen who had met him accidentally in his youth, even in the former king's room, he wouldn't be bothered to shoot astrology.
This is the first time in several years that the long princess has replaced the queen to the place where Qizi lived in seclusion to pray for the country. In order to reach his destination as soon as possible, Du Yan only brought more than a hundred guards, posing as a merchant, and starting a light bus from the capital.
Although Cheng Yu is a proton of the kingdom, according to common sense, he is not allowed to step out of the original capital city. However, Du Yan has always been a non-reasonable and deceptive temperament, and it is clear that Cheng Yu will serve with him.
In the recent period, the original king also wanted to comfort the Wu family more, so as to avoid accidents when the general was recalled. In addition, more than a hundred guards were on the side, and the proton of Chengguo alone could not make any waves.
Five days have passed, and Momo will reach his destination in two days.
Du Yan sat on the carriage, feeling that the speed had suddenly slowed down a lot, and there was a faint sound of gurgling water.
He estimated that he should have reached the planned location, and he opened the partition on the side window and looked out.
The centurion was hitting the horse and guarding the side of the carriage. When Du Yan opened the curtain, he bent slightly and said, "Long Princess, this is not within the capital. Please don't look around."
After all, he didn't give Du Yan a face, and directly reached out to close the carriage side window.
"Where's the reckless man, stay back and want you to look good!"
The sound of rage came from the inside of the carriage, and the guards outside did not squint. It was already a rude and arrogant habit of the long princess.
In fact, in the carriage, Du Yan's expression was calm and calm. He bent down slightly, picked up the note that the centurion had just thrown into the carriage, and started to check.
"Hundreds of guards, more than a dozen of whom are the former servants. At that time, their subordinates will try to mobilize the guards around the carriage to facilitate their operation."
Earlier, Du Yan's eyeliner next to Yuan Yuan had passed on his plan with Mrs. Hui, who planned to start here when returning.
The original messenger summoned the local bandits, stating that after a few days, traders would pass by here, and the merchants would bring valuable goods. It is natural that there is no such thing as these elite soldiers.
All Hara needs is that these bandits trigger a riot, and then the people he installs in the guards will take the opportunity to surprise the princess's horse. The carriage is frightened, or the life or death of the fall is unknown, or the fall from the carriage is either dead or dead.
Regardless of the consequence, Yuan Yuan felt that he was out of anger, and the Wu family could only hold the bandits to vent their anger.
With Hara's ingenuity, I can't think of such a strategy of killing someone with a knife. All of this was Du Yan's handwriting, and all his eyeliners were delivered to Yuan Yan's hands.
The ritual of praying for the blessing of heaven is related to the National Games. Even the stupid idiots such as Yuan Zhe knew that they could not go wrong, so they set the time for the return trip.
The terrain here is narrow, with the high mountain cliff on the left and the deep on the right, which is the favorite setting place for mountain thieves.
Du Yan was thinking, and heard the carriage door was knocking softly.
He opened a gap and saw Cheng Yu, who was sitting in front of the car, looked back: "Princess, do you feel bored?"
Du Yan glanced at him: "What do you think? I was stuck in this narrow carriage for five days, unlike you can see the scenery on the road."
Cheng Yu lowered his voice and said, "I've been prepared for a while, and there is something under the dark seat."
This time I went out to pray to heaven and earth to pray for the original country. Naturally, we must maintain sincerity and put an end to happiness. Therefore, he followed them with care, except for the necessary grain and grass for the sacrificial rituals, and there was no longer anything.
Du Yan is also the princess's respect. For the sake of safety, she cannot ride on horseback when removing camp. Even if Du Yan wasn't an unstoppable temper, she felt panicky.
He closed the door, reached for the dark grid under his seat, and found a small wooden box with a delicate carving inside. After opening it, there were some candied fruits and a few books.
Looking at the books that passed the time in his hands, Du Yan suddenly hesitated a little. He got along with Cheng Yu for such a long time.
At present, Cheng Yu will be separated, and it may be the enemy to meet again in the future. Du Yan thinks that there may still be some habit.
But Cheng Yu is an emperor who wants to unify the world, how can he be a slave all the time. Maybe in the future, when he thinks about this experience, he can't wait to stab himself as the initiator.
Du Yan picked up the dried fruit and sent it to her mouth, sighing in her heart: "It's not easy to eat a meal."
A few days later, the group reached Qizi's retreat.
The guards brought by the princess were all stationed outside the valley, and only the princess was allowed to enter.
Du Yan was in the camp, bathed with incense, and put on the most solemn dress before slowly walking out of the tent.
The long princess has always been active, does not like accessories, and the clothes have always been simple and light. This is the first time Cheng Yu has seen him do such a grand dress.
The solemn black-colored brocade with big red piping and red silk thread embroidered with the dark lines of the birds and phoenixes, but a black hair was just picked up with a jade coat at will.
Except for the jade pendant and the miscellaneous wear around the waist, there was no gold or silver. Qi Zi is a transcendent person. When he enters his residence, he cannot wear common things such as gold and silver.
Cheng Yu looked at his back, and suddenly he had the illusion that the person in front of him seemed to go to an unknown place and never return.
This sense of panic that the other party was about to get out of control made him step forward and stop in front of Du Yan.
Du Yan was not accustomed to this solemn dress, layer after layer, and his shoulders were a little painful, and his pace was a little bit too tight.
He was concentrating on the condition under his feet, so as not to accidentally trip over the skirt or the debris on the road, and his eyes were suddenly covered with shadow.
Du Yan looked up, Cheng Yu stood in front of him, looking unpredictably, and looked intently.
He thought the other party had something to say and waited for a while, but saw Cheng Yu just staring at him without saying a word.
Du Yan frowned slightly: "Cheng Yu, how are you doing?"
Cheng Yu seems to have returned to God and said, "Princess, be careful on the road."
"Well." Du Yan gave him a glance and continued.
Du Yan walked into the valley all the way, and soon became suddenly bright. In the valley, the birds are scented with flowers, and the streams are flowing like a place outside.
Above the central clearing, there is a tall stone altar. Beside the stream is a simple bamboo house, among which there are piano sounds.
Du Yanjing stood outside the bamboo house and did not say anything, but quietly turned her ear to listen to the sound of the piano.
A moment later, the song was over, and an old voice came from the bamboo house.
"But son Yan?"
"Yes." Du Yan saluted.
The door of the bamboo house opened with a creak, and an old man in gray robe came out of it.
After a little preparation, the two boarded the stargazing platform and began a long sacrifice ceremony. When the night was getting dark, all the stars were on the sky, and the ceremony was over.
Du Yan was sore on her shoulders due to the heavy gown on her body. Fortunately, she felt that the queen was a door tiger girl and she had practiced martial arts before she was married. Otherwise, after this long sacrifice ceremony is over, I am afraid that I will get sick for a few days.
Tonight is the night of the new moon. The moon is dark and the stars are shining, which is the best night for stargazing.
The old man kneeled on the altar and looked up, holding a bone carving knife in his hand.
"The imperial star gradually became clear that it was mid-day and the world would converge."
Both the queen and Qi Zi thought that the emperor star was Du Yan. Previously, under the suspicion of the original king, they could only show people by the body of a woman, which was obscure. Now is the time to act, when the original king's identity is restored, the emperor star will gradually become clear.
Du Yan knew, however, that this emperor star was referring to Cheng Guo's proton and Cheng Yu. Previously, it was unknown that it was because he was in the original country that he was suffering. It is now gradually clear that he will return to the throne of Chengdu and start the journey of unifying the world.
"The old husband recently made a new discovery. A companion star emerged next to the Emperor Star, and the potential of shining is enough to compete with the Emperor Star."
Du Yan said, "Is this companion star supporting Emperor Star or competing with Emperor Star for the stars of the world?"
The tortoise shell used for the pupa has been baked for a long time, and it is covered with cracks. Qi Zi picked up the tortoise shell and looked at it for a long time before she said, "The twin stars are competing, the situation in the world is unknown. I hope the son will pay attention to this after he returns to the capital."
Having said that, he raised his hand with a carving knife to engraved the words on the turtle shell and handed it to Du Yan.
This piece of tortoise shell will never be seen by the original king. Before Du Yan set off, he had prepared forged tortoise shells to deal with the original king.
He said goodbye to Qizi and returned directly along the original road.
In the early morning of the next day, Du Yan left with a party and returned to the capital.
Two days later, the team again walked over the mountainside dangerous road, Du Yan casually flipped through the books in his hands, waiting for the pirates to appear.
At halfway, the carriage stopped.
Du Yan opened the door and called: "What is it?"
The centurion struck immediately and replied, "The road ahead is blocked by fallen trees. Please wait for a moment."
The two eyes met, and Du Yan nodded slightly, motioning to the centurion to act according to plan.
"Go and see, don't delay your trip."
"Noah." The centurion arched his hand and went away.
Du Yan thought for a while, and then commanded: "Cheng Yu, I'm a little upset, don't leave the carriage."
Cheng Yu promised that the current situation is unknown and he did not intend to leave the princess half a step.
Just a moment after the centurion left, there were rocks falling from the side of the cliff.
The team that escorted the princess was an experienced person, and knew that the terrain here was dangerous, and they did not follow the cliff. Therefore, the falling rocks just scattered the neat team a little, and did not cause much loss.
The ambush man was just building a rock. Their purpose was to rob a fortune. If a rock fell to smash the property, they would return in vain.
So just after a wave of falling rocks, on the top of the mountain, a figure appeared, screaming and rushing down.
In the information obtained by the pirates, this is just a team of ordinary caravans. Even with some guards, it will not be too much. These pirates thought that after this wave of intimidation had passed, the caravan people would obediently hand over their belongings.
I never thought that those who were dressed as ordinary caravans would pull out all their weapons and adjust their formation very quickly to prepare for the battle.
But that's it, the pirates had to fight hard.
These Wuhe people are naturally not the opponents of well-trained soldiers, but they have been subdued most of the time, leaving only a few to resist.
When the battle was about to end, Liu Ya flew out during the melee, which happened to be the horse that was holding the princess in the middle and was guarded by the regiment.
The arrow was unhappy, and the horse was not seriously injured, but was frightened. I saw the horse hissing and running uncontrollably along the road.
