Chapter 930: The True Scorched Earth

Li Hang and these few others all stopped speaking, one by one.

Because they were all frightened.

What exactly does this Vice Minister Liu want to do?

Is he a madman?

Are these people from Longyan all madmen!

"No."

"He is..."

Li Hang had been standing just a moment ago, but at this time he let himself sit in a chair, his face full of bewilderment.

He struggled to recover from this shock.

He could not figure it out, truly could not figure it out.

He intends to go north to the capital alone, with one attendant?

Remember the website address.

He is mad.

He must be mad!

Does he not know how many people currently want his life?

"That's not right!"

Suddenly Li Hang jumped up, his eyes shining: "No!"

"What?"

The other few people were all a bit unable to understand.

"Something is not right!"

He took a deep breath, a dazzling brilliance erupting in his eyes: "This kid is too cunning! By doing this, he is actually safer than coming back with Queen Inhyeon!"

The other few people then suddenly realized.

Liu Zheng intends to shrink his focus! In other words, he wants the entire Li Dynasty to watch him! To be the center of attention!

Li Hang had a gloomy face: "He was originally an imperial envoy sent by Longyan, with an extraordinary status, receiving much attention. If he entered the capital together within Queen Inhyeon's honor guard, then if something happened on the road, we could find excuses, and it would still be justifiable."

"But, if he travels alone..."

Not only that.

Liu Zheng is still using this approach, which borders on individual heroism, to prove his innocence.

In this way.

It can make many people who want to act in the shadows unable to make a move.

Say I want this, say I want that?

No!

Say I am flirting with the Queen?

Say I want to have both mother and daughter?

Traveling alone to prove integrity.

As the saying goes, water that is too clear has no fish; this is the effect Liu Zheng wants. Setting off under everyone's attention, without Queen Inhyeon, without Li Xuanya, without the Min Family, without those attendants, he appears even cleaner. Whoever makes a move against him, whoever acts to his detriment, people will be able to see clearly.

He, Liu Zheng, has come to the Li Dynasty this time just to save you! Just to rescue you from fire and water!

Traveling alone to show innocence.

But on the official level.

From the standpoint of diplomacy between the two countries.

This is true Scorched Earth!

Never mind the status of this Vice Minister Liu, who is an imperial envoy sent by the Longyan Dynasty. Never mind that orders to have Vice Minister Liu killed were received here.

Clever!

Cunning!

If Liu Zheng is under such intense public scrutiny, whoever makes a move against him will be recorded in the history books.

Is that million-strong Liangzhou army something to be taken lightly?

"Withdraw those people."

"Yes."

Li Hang and the others looked at each other.

Silent for a long time.

This is going to be interesting.

"Then what about us?"

"Let's wait and see."

Soon, this news spread throughout the entire Li Dynasty.

Not only was the Southerner Party stunned.

"Extra! Extra! Pressured by public opinion, Vice Minister Liu from Longyan will break through the checkpoints alone, all the way to Hancheng!"

"Extra! Extra! To show his innocence, Vice Minister Liu has left the Queen's honor guard and is traveling alone!"

This Vice Minister Liu does not play by the rules at all.

And what about the commoners in Gyeonggi Province?

The Westerner Party was also stunned.

Li Tun, at this moment, was also stunned.

"Good fellow, what courage! I suddenly have a new level of respect for this Vice Minister Liu!"

"Impressive!"

"What?"

"Is he crazy?"

Domineering!

Setting aside how this Vice Minister Liu is as a person for a moment.

"This, this, this..."

The common people naturally have their own way of speaking. If they were previously bewitched into criticizing and insulting this Vice Minister Liu in every way, then now, this move by Liu Zheng has completely caught them off guard.

An ambush?

He came all by himself.

Just this spirit of traveling alone—looking across the entire Li Dynasty, who else could possess it?

Originally, at this time, the common people had actually organized many "gangs" intending to ambush this ambitious Vice Minister Liu on the road. Upon hearing this news, these gangs disbanded one after another.

Very quickly.

Some civilian organizations immediately issued announcements.

You have so many people going to block him and ambush him; do you still have any shame?

Is the martial world of the Li Dynasty not a martial world? People of the martial world naturally have their own rules.

What should be done about this?

Can they still make a move or not?

In view of Vice Minister Liu's hot-blooded dominance, members of such-and-such gang are strictly forbidden from participating in matters concerning Vice Minister Liu's journey north. Once discovered, they will be executed immediately!

Those government soldiers who had mixed in with the martial artists were also stunned, one by one.

If ten people bully one person, that just doesn't sit right. If word got back to Longyan, it might even offend this Sovereign State.

Furthermore.

Make a move?

How many people would make a move?

This is going to be interesting.

The government soldiers naturally cannot openly launch an attack on Liu Zheng; are they joking? He is an imperial envoy from the Sovereign State!

Now they are panicking.

Small town.

Entrance.

Liu Zheng and Pei Qianyun were currently sitting at a tea stall at the entrance of this small town.

Watching the procession of Queen Inhyeon depart, the two smiled at each other.

Everyone was looking at him.

Everyone was waiting to watch the show.

Tea stall.

Amidst the bustling crowd watching the spectacle, Liu Zheng suddenly felt as if he had appeared in a martial arts novel.

Following that, he changed the subject: "Young Master, no matter who we encounter, you must stay behind me, alright? Even if the Li Dynasty sends out all its experts, Qianyun will definitely deliver you to Hancheng!"

Liu Zheng's mouth twitched.

Liu Zheng smiled and looked at Pei Qianyun, asking, "Qianyun, are you afraid?"

Pei Qianyun laughed heartily: "Young Master, since birth, Qianyun has never feared anyone! This is fun, isn't it?"

As for face or no face, actually, after Liu Zheng decided on this matter, he had already prepared all sorts of Soft Armor and protective gear inside his clothes. Although he looked very light and agile on the outside, in reality, he was dragging a full set of equipment as he walked.

Heavy!

This blockhead, with so many people around, couldn't he save some face for him?

However.

Who told him to act so cool.

But for Liu Zheng, he couldn't afford not to act cool.

But there was no Method.

Survival is what matters.

He could not go to the front lines.

Therefore.

He must return to Hancheng, help Li Xuanya seize political power, and then realize a constitutional monarchy!

He could not shrink back.

"Let's go!"

The two stood up at the same time.

Traveling alone, then let it be alone.

He glanced at Pei Qianyun, then shouted: "Let's go!"

One with a sword strapped to his back, one with a pair of hammers.

They set off toward the north.

One person, one horse, one flask of wine.

One lean, one sturdy.

The commoners and the people exclaimed in amazement.

It is just unknown how this Vice Minister Liu intends to break through these five town fortresses!

But regardless, this spirit will leave behind much to talk about in the Li Dynasty.

Half a day later.

The first challenge appeared.
