Chapter 277 Threat
In order to make His Highness King of Guard stay on the imperial ship with peace of mind, several big men in the court also took a lot of effort. Not only did the delicious and delicious entertainment make Zhao Bing, who had never realized the taste of the imperial banquet, eat and eat. He also inquired about His Highness's hobbies and sent some ingenious things for him to spend time. The effect seemed pretty good. He and His Majesty the Emperor ate and slept with each other every day, held hands and tossed on the imperial ship side by side, frightened the guards and eunuchs who served him away, saying that His Majesty was too naughty and had already ruined His Majesty.
Zhao Bing seemed to enjoy this kind of life. He did not have to review official documents every day, did not have to get up early to practice martial arts, nor did he worry about endless trivial matters. He just urged Qiongzhou to purchase New Year's goods and delivered them to the ship, intending to stay here for the New Year, which was very happy. At this time, Zeng Yuanzi had already returned to Leizhou with the imperial edict, took over the power of Guangxi again, and became the actual controller, and the rear army was sent back to Qiong. However, the imperial fleet that received the supplies did not mean to leave. Instead, he cut wood and stones on the shore to establish camps, and arranged troops to rest ashore, as if he wanted to stay here forever.
"A brief report to the Prime Minister Chen, a large number of warships of the General's Office rushed to our mooring ground, and a large number of troops moved to the Qixingling area and settling down to the camp less than three miles away." As soon as the dawn came, soldiers boarded the ship to report.
"What do they want to do?" Chen Yizhong was shocked when he heard the news and hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the conference hall to inquire.
"Report to the Chancellor Chen, I don't know why they came."
"Go to find out what they are doing, what's going on." Chen Yizhong thought about it and ordered, but the sergeant stared at his face and did not answer, "Look at what I'm doing, go quickly, don't go yet!"
"Yes, the last general's order!" The soldier immediately saluted when he heard the scolding sound, but walked to the cabin door and hesitated next time, "Chen Xiang, your face..."
"What's wrong with my face?" Chen Yizhong touched his face in confusion, and asked in confusion.
"This is hard to say!" The sergeant said and left hurriedly.
"It's inexplicable!" Chen Yizhong muttered, and ordered someone to invite Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and others to cross the boat to discuss matters. However, the expressions of the personal soldiers of Ling were very strange. They first took the order and left with a smile.
"Zhao Ye, what's wrong with your face?" Chen Yizhong ordered to go back to the bedroom to wash, change clothes and prepare for the discussion, but the concubine who served him screamed in surprise.
"Ah..." Chen Yizhong saw the ghost three times in the morning and hurriedly picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it. He saw that someone in the mirror had a strange shape with rouge on his face. After closer inspection, he saw a blood-dropping dagger. The tip of the knife was falling on his throat. He was so scared that he couldn't help but scream.
"Who has entered the house last night?" Chen Yizhong was also considered to have been through strong winds and waves, so he quickly calmed down. He wiped the traces on his face with a towel and turned around and asked his concubine.
"After the prime minister rests, there is no one else!" the concubine thought about it and replied.
"Is this strange?" Chen Yizhong pushes the portholes all tied up, and there are servants on duty outside the cabin, there are personal soldiers watching at the door, and there are also soldiers inspecting on the boat. Who can sneak into his cabin and apply it on his face without his awareness? What should he do?
"Zhao Ye, is there something wrong with the secret?" The concubine saw that Chen Yizhong's face changed a few times, and the doors and windows were closed by herself. There were only the two of them in the inner room. She would never dare to apply it on the Zhao Ye's face. Only ghosts could enter quietly. Thinking of this, she asked with a trembling voice.
"No, I am a righteous person, so how dare I get close to you?" Chen Yizhong whispered, but he was also panicked. He knew that the person who came was definitely a human or a ghost. He could not disturb the guards on the ship and sneak into the inner room, and he was definitely a master. He could kill himself without knowing it, but only left the "Mobao" to show that he was warning himself, not to take his life.
"Who will be the one who came?" Chen Yizhong muttered to himself, thinking about the bad things he had done recently. He knew that if he didn't settle the matter quickly, the person coming back would not be as simple as graffiti on his face, but he couldn't remember any powerful person he had offended.
"Liu Qian, who was on duty last night?" Chen Yizhong thought about how someone could sneak in such a tight defense. Only traitors could do it, so he asked the person on duty to follow him.
"Report to Prime Minister, it was Zhang Ping, the personal guard camp last night, and Deputy General Zhang." Liu Qianli replied.
"Yes." Chen Yizhong nodded and said, "Liu Qian, you have been in front of me for more than a year, right?"
"Prince, I'll be in the mansion for another month or a year." Liu Qian replied.
"Okay, the time is not short. If you are diligent in your work, it is time to promote you. Today you will take over as the deputy general of the personal guard camp and give you a certain official position the next day." Chen Yi said in the middle. He knew that it would take a lot of trouble to find out who wanted to kill him. The most urgent task was to increase the guard's strength and replace those who might be traitors.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, but I told you that I will never refuse!" Liu Qian immediately knelt down and bowed.
"No need to be polite. After you take over, you immediately choose a team of trustworthy confidants, and specialize in protecting my boat and following you when traveling." Chen Yizhongxu said with help.
"I will follow the order and I will do my best to protect the prime minister." Liu Qian said politely again.
"Okay, after you change your waist card, go to Zhou Yuhou to get 100 stagnant of money to everyone, which is considered to be an old age." Chen Yizhong took two steps and turned around and said.
"Thank you, the best!" Liu Qian said with a reward from the aisle. When he came out, he curled his lips and showed a sneer. His family's capital was huge, and he had to give a hundred coins to a team of people. He was not as much as the monthly money given to him by his highness. He wanted someone to work hard for him...
In order to facilitate the exchange of ships and also to protect, the imperial fleet connected the large ships with iron chains to build wooden boards, forming a city to form a water village, putting the imperial ships and grain ships in it, and leaving a water gate to facilitate the exchange of ships. When he heard the call, Zhang Shijie and others arrived in a moment.
"Deputy Envoy Zhang, what did the general's army want to do? Why didn't he warn him early, so that the ship only appeared before he arrived!" Chen Yizhong was unhappy, so he was naturally not so polite, and he was very interested in asking for guilt.
"Chen Xiang didn't know that the general's army was very strict in the defense of the straits. Every hour, a ship would sail out and patrol. Our ships would not dare to get too close to their water camp, so there would be some delays." Zhang Shijie explained.
"The six generals' mansions have already covered Qixing Ridge, occupying all important places, and the camps have been pierced under our noses. Don't you know?" Chen Yizhong said angrily.
"Cei Chen, the general's army has been mobilized frequently since the confrontation with Liu Shen. This is a strategic location and the imperial court is stationed here. It is normal for them to strengthen their defense, so why bother to get angry!" Su Liuyi stepped forward and explained.
