Chapter 279

"The situation is like this, what do you think?" Chu Danqing summarized the situation roughly for Yang Qianzheng to hear.

After hearing it, Yang Qianzheng was not just shocked; he was completely bewildered.

He couldn't understand how you guys did it; he could understand defeating Prince An, but how could you two use the word 'captives' for Prince Ning's 100,000-strong army?

"Powerless." Yang Qianzheng said with a bitter smile.

With his situation, if he didn't get timely treatment, he would only live for about half a month to a month.

"Is there still a cure?" Chu Danqing asked.

Yang Qianzheng is one of the most human-like emperors he has ever seen; except for the biggest mistake of mediocrity, the rest is actually okay.

It is also possible that after experiencing this ordeal, he suddenly realized it.

"Yes, returning to the capital, one can seek treatment from the imperial physician; although it cannot cure me, at least I can live for another year or so," Yang Qianzheng said.

"Good, I will let Brother Guo take you back to the capital immediately." Chu Danqing said immediately: "With Brother Guo's sword flight speed, traveling a thousand miles a day is just a small path."

"So fast?!" Yang Qianzheng's expression was shocked, and then he immediately said: "So fast, sending me to the capital is too wasteful; I still have half a month of life, if you and I rush, we can still make it."

"Please ask this Brother Guo to deliver a letter for me, to the 'Earl of Pacifying the Barbarians' and 'Regional Commander' Xu Tai, asking him to bring troops to settle the 100,000-strong army together with Qianyuan and that Grand Coordinator Xiong."

Yang Qianzheng was worried about Prince Ning's 100,000-strong army; once it wasn't handled well, it would likely cause greater chaos.

So he chose a candidate he thought was most suitable, and it was also three parties checking and balancing each other, avoiding one person having too much power.

"Qianyuan is easy to say, but Grand Coordinator Xiong might have to go back." Chu Danqing said.

How could Xiong Zhigang have time to stay for ten days or half a month? The trial world where he is is also fighting a war.

"Go back where?" Yang Qianzheng was a bit strange; such a good opportunity to hold power, and he just gives it up?

"He also has urgent matters at home; helping us deal with it for a day or two is fine, but it definitely won't work for a long time," Chu Danqing said.

Yang Qianzheng thought for a moment upon hearing this, and then said: "Then I can only ask this Brother Guo to help deliver two letters."

Saying this, he proposed the name of another person.

"Good, you write first, and then I will send you two to the capital." Chu Danqing said, taking out paper and pen.

Yang Qianzheng finished writing quickly and stamped his seal.

"I will send you two back to Grand Coordinator Xiong first, and I will send you to the capital after I come back."

"At most one day, I will bring the people over directly." Guo Ming said.

"No, if only these two come, it won't be able to suppress them; they need to bring troops and horses to come together." Yang Qianzheng hurriedly said.

Coming with two people won't work; at least they need to have a certain number of troops.

"Like this, you send us back first, I will take them to the capital with the 'Eight Steeds Chariot', and I will send you back first tomorrow morning."

"If the time is too long, I can't hold on." Chu Danqing looked at his Paradise Points; if he really followed Yang Qianzheng's arrangement, Chu Danqing would be in debt.

Guo Ming also understood immediately; his hour is 380 Paradise Points.

After a day, the Paradise Points of the A-rank mission would be gone.

"Good, then follow your method, Brother Chu." Guo Ming agreed.

Guo Ming only has one person; either he goes to deliver the letter, or he sends Yang Qianzheng to the capital.

Chu Danqing's wallet is limited, and time is not enough.

Yang Qianzheng couldn't quite understand what the situation was, but he could see Chu Danqing's difficulties.

Seeing this, he couldn't say anything.

He could only let Guo Ming take them back by sword flight.

This time the speed was not slow, and they soon found the army.

The army's moving speed was not fast, especially since most of these soldiers were composed of captive armies.

Xiong Zhigang only controlled the army, but didn't get Prince Ning's logistics supplies, so the biggest problem he faced now was food and grass.

If they couldn't eat their fill, the next step would be to rebel.

Seeing Chu Danqing return, Xiong Zhigang explained the situation.

Chu Danqing looked directly at Yang Qianzheng.

What could he do? He wasn't of the lord-system or legion-system; where could he take out so much rations?

As the saying goes, when the cannon fires, gold is ten thousand taels; once the war machine is turned on, even if it doesn't move, it's burning money.

Yang Qianzheng was thinking about this problem on the way, and then quickly gave a solution.

Although it wasn't perfect, it was a temporary relief.

"Grand Coordinator Xiong, how much longer can your hometown hold on?" Chu Danqing asked.

The maintenance cost of Xiong Zhigang is low, 1 Paradise Point per hour, which Chu Danqing can afford.

So the real length of time depends on Xiong Zhigang himself.

"At most two days." Xiong Zhigang said a general time; after all, they are the attacking side.

When he came, he had already ordered not to attack, only to hold firmly.

"Good, I will send you back in two days." After Chu Danqing finished speaking, he took out the pills Guo Ming gave and explained them.

He also instructed: "Wait until you go back to eat; you can't eat them now."

"Xiong understands." Xiong Zhigang naturally knew why he couldn't eat them now; they hadn't been notarized yet.

"Then I plan to take the 'Eight Steeds Chariot' away and send them two to the capital." Chu Danqing said immediately; since the Yun family and others already had safety guarantees, Chu Danqing naturally had to take the 'Pure Yang Heavenly General' and the others away.

"Qianyuan, you temporarily follow Grand Coordinator Xiong; Grand Coordinator Xiong, you take him more."

Yang Qianyuan is too young; it's just right to follow Xiong Zhigang, an old veteran, to learn.

As for saying that bringing Yang Qianyuan will have an advantage, this is indeed true.

But the problem is that after two days, Xiong Zhigang leaves, and Yang Qianyuan also leaves with him; who will sit in town here?

Although Yang Qianyuan is young, he has potential, and with Xiong Zhigang's help, it is not difficult to hold on until the two people arranged by Yang Qianzheng come.

Everyone has paved the way for you; if you can mess this up, Chu Danqing has no way.

On the other side, Yang Qianzheng was explaining the next matters and marching route to Xiong Zhigang, asking them to meet up as soon as possible.

Yang Qianyuan was listening on the side, recording some key points from time to time.

After about half an hour, Yang Qianzheng finished explaining.

"Let's go, let's rush back to the capital as soon as possible." After Yang Qianzheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Fengjie and said: "Let's go together."

Although Yang Qianzheng had never said his true identity, with the current situation, it was not much different from showing his cards.

Li Fengjie hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Good."

Once she agreed, she would really fly up the branch and become a phoenix.

"Get on the chariot, try to arrive early." Chu Danqing didn't care about having one more Li Fengjie.

He discovered a problem, which was that Yang Qianzheng seemed a bit wrong.

According to logic, he should be a mediocre person, but from the moment he was rescued, the ability he displayed was not as incompetent as he had imagined.

Instead, everything was in order in all aspects, and even in military and political aspects, he could actually discuss and revise plans with Xiong Zhigang with ease.

Yang Qianzheng and Li Fengjie got on the chariot frame, Chu Danqing greeted Da Bao, and he also climbed up.

Then the dragon horses pulled the chariot, the warriors opened the way, the heavenly generals and mysterious maidens followed, and the 'Eight Steeds Climbing Dragon Chariot' flew straight into the clouds.

With Yang Qianzheng pointing the way, there was no need to worry about how to get to the capital.

"Speaking of which, why are you rumored to be dissolute outside?" On the way, Chu Danqing asked casually.

When Yang Qianzheng heard this, his expression was a bit confused: "What dissolute? Isn't everyone saying I am a wise monarch through the ages?"

Once he said this, even Li Fengjie's look at him became strange.

"Ah this..." Chu Danqing was also bewildered by him; with your situation, you can't even count as a wise monarch, let alone the word 'through the ages'.

Yang Qianzheng reacted immediately; he was deceived again.

"It's not just the Eight Tigers, the officials in the court..." Yang Qianzheng's face turned ugly immediately.

He thought the Eight Tigers around him were treacherous, but the facts seemed to be more complex.

"I'll just ask you one thing: can your political decrees leave the capital?" Chu Danqing said suddenly.

When Chu Danqing asked this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Yang Qianzheng's mind.

His southern tour this time was ultimately instigated by the Eight Tigers eunuchs, thinking of taking a look at his great rivers and mountains.

As for the purpose of the Eight Tigers eunuchs, it was nothing more than making money, which Yang Qianzheng knew and acquiesced to.

But in the eyes of the court officials, his behavior was not a tour, but an inspection.

Once he walked far away, he would lose control, and then the true situation of the Anyong Dynasty would be discovered by Yang Qianzheng.

One can imagine what the result would be.

"If it were before the southern tour, I would say yes."

"But now, I'm afraid not." Yang Qianzheng continued: "Two vassal kings rebelled at the same time, and both wanted my life; there must be forces pulling the strings in this."

"Even Prince Ning's name as a 'Virtuous King' might be a layout they made to replace me."

"What do you think?" Yang Qianzheng asked Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing knew immediately that this was overthinking; Prince An's rebellion was a purely external factor.

If he really wanted to explain, Yang Qianzheng had already set the nature.

"So it's only the court officials; I was originally an adopted son, and I could ascend the throne because I didn't have my own team, so I was easy to control."

"But when I wanted to break the illusory peaceful and prosperous age they wove for me, that was when I should die." Anger appeared in Yang Qianzheng's expression.

He had no children, and the previous Emperor Anyong was the same.

He thought it was a coincidence, but now looking at it, I'm afraid it wasn't like that.

If there were offspring, and they were crowned Crown Prince, a team could be built in the East Palace before ascending the throne.

That would be the East Wind suppressing the West Wind.

"Prince An's rebellion should be his own idea; as for whether there is help from court officials in this, I don't know." Chu Danqing said.

He said what he knew, and he wouldn't make wild guesses about what he didn't know.

"Prince An wants to rebel, it should be to use your life to evolve his 'Ink Shadow Heavenly Dragon'; you belong to the material." Chu Danqing added.
