Chapter 929: A Lone Rider Travels a Thousand Li

In an ancient society where information dissemination is not very developed, the emotions of the masses are very easily incited.

That's right!

What exactly is this Vice Minister Liu after?

The commoners and the masses, under the guidance of those with ulterior motives, all began to have their own doubts.

Some even continued to leak information.

This Vice Minister Liu has already spent nearly a million taels of silver to publish books for Queen Inhyeon and Li Xuanya!

Uproar!

One million taels?

This immediately made these people's suspicions grow even greater.

At this moment, someone put forward a very bold guess!

Vice Minister Liu!

:

Not only does he want to marry Li Xuanya, but he also intends to lay his hands on Queen Inhyeon!

This guy.

Wants both mother and daughter!

The entire Gyeonggi Province exploded.

"Absurd, ridiculous, preposterous!"

Cannot let him enter the capital!

"This, this, this, is this true?"

"He, he, he, how outrageous, how outrageous! Is this the great man from Longyan!"

Following that.

Rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs, which Liu Zheng was very familiar with, were pulled out from these people as if by magic.

You, Vice Minister Liu, came to Joseon to help resist the Wa pirates, but you have been here for so long, and all you know is to eat and drink gluttonously every day, yet you don't know to go to the front lines to take a look. Seeing that the great decisive battle is about to arrive, you still don't go—the intention is already very obvious!

On the seventh day, there were finally people who couldn't hold back, waiting early by the roadside. Waiting for Liu Zheng to ride on his horse and travel with his honor guard.

These passersby were of all sorts of backgrounds, and there were quite a few dressed as scholars among them. At this time, they pointed angrily at Liu Zheng: "Longyan villain, get out of the Li Dynasty!"

"Lecher!"

Liu Zheng was startled on the spot.

"Young Master, be careful!"

Rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs were about to land on Liu Zheng's head when Pei Qianyun arrived in time, waving her great hammer a few times to block those things away.

"Get out of the Li Dynasty!"

"Pervert!"

Bang, bang, bang!

The atmosphere of the crowd grew more and more intense, baring fangs and brandishing claws, their faces twisted.

"Young Master, Young Master, hurry back into the Horse Carriage."

"Drive this Longyan person out!"

"We in the Li Dynasty don't want you!"

"Princess! Don't be deceived by this thief!"

"Princess, you are the national treasure of our Li Dynasty!"

Li Xuanya was terrified and hurriedly pulled Liu Zheng back into the Horse Carriage.

This action was seen by others again.

Liu Zheng had lingering fears and couldn't help but wipe his face, confirming there was nothing on it, before smiling bitterly: "This really caught me off guard!"

The honor guard was stranded because of this.

"Eldest Princess"

National treasure

Queen Inhyeon's heart sank: She hurriedly said: "Even Jin, this matter was not discussed with me."

She naturally knew that even the current leader of the Westerner Party, Jin Wanji, did not want Liu Zheng to return to Hancheng either, so this matter was not only the work of the Southern Faction; it should also have the tacit approval of the Westerners, and perhaps even Li Tun.

Queen Inhyeon also boarded the Horse Carriage with a solemn face and looked at Liu Zheng: "Lord Liu, this..."

Liu Zheng shook his head and smiled faintly: "The Queen is right, there are indeed many people who do not want me to return to Hancheng."

These people speak without any restraint.

Talking about taking both mother and daughter, and throwing the moral order into chaos.

Liu Zheng nodded and suddenly smiled: "Using malicious words to hurt people is indeed a good scheme. It's just that for the sake of power and profit, these people don't even care about the Queen's reputation!"

A flash of anger appeared in Queen Inhyeon's eyes, but at the same time, looking at Liu Zheng, there was more embarrassment.

Li Xuanya said angrily.

Liu Zheng was between laughter and tears and shook his head: "For the sake of the Queen's reputation, Liu Zheng cannot travel with the Queen and the Princess this time."

In fact, as the person involved, she knew that this Vice Minister Liu was truly an upright gentleman; all these days, let alone showing her respect, he had never even laid a finger on her daughter.

"Young Master, what are you afraid of? The innocent are self-cleansing! We must return to Hancheng to see what kind of tricks that group of people wants to play!"

Originally, Queen Inhyeon had come to persuade Liu Zheng to turn around and head toward Chungcheong Province instead. Since Chungcheong Province was not far from the current battlefield, she believed that as long as Liu Zheng was willing to stay away from Hancheng, the people of the Li Dynasty would not dare to make things difficult for him.

However...

"What?"

The two women changed color in unison.

"Young Master!"

"Lord Liu, this must absolutely not be done!"

Listening to Liu Zheng's intent.

Not only did he not want to turn back, but he also wanted to leave his own escort and enter the capital alone?

Liu Zheng, however, laughed heartily: "May I ask, Queen, how many cities and fortresses are there still between here and Hancheng?"

Inhyeon and her daughter exchanged a glance, both filled with worry.

The two women urged him in unison.

Following the Queen's procession was already not this dire; if he were to enter the capital alone, wouldn't that be like a lamb walking into a tiger's den?

Liu Zheng stood up abruptly, his eyes burning: "Then I ask the Queen and the Princess to depart first! This time, Liu Zheng shall perform a 'thousand-mile ride alone' here in your Li Dynasty!"

"What?"

The two knew Liu Zheng's character well; once he decided on something, ordinary people could not dissuade him at all. Inhyeon sighed and said: "There are no more large cities, but there are still two towns and two fortresses."

"Hahahaha, good!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Are you crazy?"

"You..."

"Hmph, it is merely using their own methods to treat them in return!"

At this moment.

"Hahahaha! Let's see how this Vice Minister Liu handles this now!"

"My lord, what a brilliant strategy!"

Zhang Xuan said from the side.

Li Hang gave a cold snort: "It is not just the King; even the Western Faction has developed wariness toward this Vice Minister Liu. However, this truly shows the pettiness of Jin Wanji and his lot. People exhausted their family wealth to help you, yet you want to scheme against them, hahahaha!"

In Hancheng, Li Hang and the others had already begun to celebrate, laughing in a group.

"It seems the King also supports our plan."

This Vice Minister Liu is quite skilled at playing the public opinion war.

Then, I shall respond to him using a public opinion war!

The few of them burst into loud laughter.

Li Hang gained experience from this defeat.

This time.

We will not need to use a single soldier or horse to wipe you out within the borders of the Li Dynasty!

Didn't you manage to topple us of the Southern Faction without spending a single soldier or horse?

Fine.

But don't forget!

This is in the Li Dynasty!

Vice Minister Liu.

You are very formidable.

The few of them suddenly thought of a problem.

Li Hang's eyes also lit up: "If possible, take advantage of the chaos to also eliminate the Queen and the Princess!"

This is their territory!

"Since the King has given his consent, then this time..."

A servant came to report.

"My lord, that Vice Minister Liu has left the Queen's procession and intends to enter the capital alone!"

"Yes!"

Just at this moment.

"What?"

Hearing this news, the few of them immediately looked at each other in dismay.

Has he gone mad?
