Chapter 156: Enemies Blocking the Road Ahead

A few months ago, Yangzhou, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Prince Ning's Mansion, which covers an area of ​​100 hectares, is surrounded by countless heavy soldiers. The guards are so tight that not even a fly can fly in.

At noon, the gentle breeze was blowing on the sparkling lake in the palace, creating ripples.

King Chu Jiang, one of the Ten Palaces of Hell, walked over slowly. He walked across the stone bridge and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Prince Ning was lying on his side on the recliner, holding a palm-sized celadon cup in his hand. He held fish food in his right hand and slowly sprinkled it into the lake, causing the fish to fight for it.

Beside him, there was a young monk wearing white clothes, with a handsome and elegant face, and an unworldly aura.

There was also a young woman in a red dress, playing with a jade piece in her hand, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Your Excellency, you are late." Seeing King Chu Jiang's appearance, the monk in white said slowly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

King Chu Jiang chuckled, clasped his fists and said, "I encountered some delays on the way. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"A little thing doesn't matter." Prince Ning poured all the fish food in the cup into the water, causing countless fish to fight for it. He put down the celadon cup in his hand, clapped his hands and said nonchalantly.

Then he stood up, stretched, and said, "Since you are here, let's talk about business!"

"Okay." King Chu Jiang responded with a smile.

The monk in white pointed at the woman in red dress next to him and said, "I must be familiar with your Excellency! The saint was ordered by the leader to discuss this important matter."

The woman in the red dress turned out to be the saint Yu Yiyao, a disciple of Maitreya Cult leader Zhao Baiyang. She stood up and bowed slightly to salute: "Little girl Yu Yiyao has met the senior King of Chu Jiang."

King Chu Jiang frowned slightly: "The matter this time is of great importance. Even if your master did not come in person, it should be a protector or elder. How could you be allowed to come!"

His tone was a little cold, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the Maitreya sect for producing such a person.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of King Chu Jiang, neither King Ning nor the monk in white said anything. They just looked at Yu Yiyao with interest, wanting to see how the saint would answer. After all, it was just the practice of the Maitreya religion, so they also Some slight dissatisfaction.

With Yu Yiyao's intelligence, she naturally knew that the King of Chu Jiang could give her a blow. She was not angry when she was questioned, and replied with a smile: "Since the rise of Pei Xuanjing, it has brought a lot of losses to our sect. Many masters have been killed and injured, and now something big is about to happen, and the Northwest Path is the top priority. In order to avoid any negligence and mistakes, Master decided to take charge of the Northwest Path himself, and even the masters in the sect have been summoned. Recently, Master is going. We went to see some old friends and wanted to get them to join us. We couldn't get away, so I asked the little girl to come and ask for your forgiveness."

After hearing this explanation, although there was some reluctance, a few people stopped pursuing it. After all, the three parties are in a cooperative relationship, and the power of the Maitreya Sect is not small. It is not that their subordinates have the strength to give such an explanation. It is enough for them. face.

Prince Ning glanced at the white-robed monk next to him. The white-robed monk nodded and asked, "I don't know how prepared you two are. If we prompt you, can you respond immediately?"

It seems that these three parties have been colluding together for a long time. In order to ascend to the throne, King Ning actually chose to cooperate with Maitreya Sect and Yinsi, two notorious forces in the world. It seems that the other party's ambition is so great that he does not care about anything. Under the influence, he only focused on the position of the Ninth Five Lords.

In King Ning's view, as long as he can ascend to the throne, it doesn't matter what price he pays, as he will have the opportunity to make amends in the future.

You must know that Emperor Taizu used to be a beggar, but so what. When he rose up and opened up the Ming Empire, not only was he not ridiculed by anyone, but it actually increased his majesty and momentum.

As a descendant of Emperor Taizu, why would Zhu Chenhao regret his mere reputation?

The origin of this monk in white is very mysterious, but everyone knows that he is the most trusted person by King Ning.

Yu Yiyao and King Chu Jiang nodded at the same time and promised: "Everything is ready. Just take the prince's side and we will act at the same time."

After hearing this answer, the monk in white nodded with satisfaction.

As the prime minister in black, Yao Guangxiao, was the target, the monk in white asked himself whether he was any better than his opponent. Yao Guangxiao was able to successfully push Emperor Taizong Jingnan to raise an army, but now he has enough confidence to push King Ning to the throne.

………………

After Pei Xuanjing separated from Taoist Qingxu and Bai Xiaosheng, he quickly rushed towards Yangzhou.

The place where he was was about twenty days away from Yangzhou, where the troops were raised. Even if Pei Xuanjing was galloping all the way and driving day and night, it would still take more than ten days at the earliest.

However, Pei Xuanjing's current identity is also somewhat sensitive. He knows that as long as he shows up in the world, he will attract the attention of many people, especially those who have grudges against him, such as the Yinsi or the Maitreya Cult.

There was also the obstruction from the Ming Dynasty. After all, there was chaos in Yangzhou and King Ning raised troops. No one knew what Pei Xuanjing's purpose was in going to that place.

Maybe he wants to take refuge with Prince Ning and join forces with Prince Ning to deal with the Ming Dynasty court?

This is not impossible, so the Ming court will definitely stop him to prevent the two from getting together.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing must not go all out and rush on the road. He must leave some energy to prevent unexpected things that may happen to him, such as the ambush and assassination of him by the Ming Dynasty court, the Yin Division and the Maitreya Cult.

Therefore, while ensuring his own safety, it would take Pei Xuanjing ten days at the earliest to arrive in Yangzhou.

As he expected, just seven days after he set out, when he saw that it would only take a few days to reach Yangzhou, he first encountered an obstacle.

Moreover, this obstacle was neither from the Yinsi nor from the Maitreya Sect, but from the Ming Dynasty.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Pei Xuanjing frowned and looked at the group of soldiers blocking him in front of him.

The man dressed as the general said coldly: "Pei Xuanjing, this general is Yang Yunhui, the commander of the Dehua Guard Command Division. Today, I am here to capture you and bring you to justice."

He had already received the news that Pei Xuanjing would appear here, and Dian led a group of troops to ambush here, hoping to capture Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing said coldly: "You don't care about Prince Ning's rebellion, but you come to arrest me?"

Yang Yunhui didn't say much and directly ordered: "Do it, life or death."

Of course he knew that King Ning was rebelling, but now King Ning was in big trouble, and he was definitely not something he could deal with.
