Chapter 100
"Oh? What can I do for you, Prime Minister Qing?" Wang Xuan asked with his eyebrows raised and eyes narrowed.
For some reason, Murong Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable looking at Wang Xuan's expression.
But she still endured it and said seriously:
"There are two ways to Yumen Pass: by water or by land. The water way is through Jinchang River, and the land way is through Feiyuan Gorge."
"The scouts ahead reported that the rebel Lin An should be heading towards Feiyuan Gorge."
"I think we should split up into two groups. You lead the troops to continue to Feiyuan Gorge, and I will go to Jinchang River to intercept him. We will attack him from both sides, leaving him nowhere to escape. How about that?"
Wang Xuan sneered in his heart. As soon as he heard her, he knew what she was up to, so he deliberately frowned and said:
"It's not a good idea to divide the troops......."
Murong Wanqing's face tightened, and she thought about what reason she could use to convince Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan continued:"......But this is a good idea. If Prime Minister Qing is sure, I will listen to him."
Murong Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,"Thank you for your support, Prime Minister. I blamed Lin An for stirring up discord before. I am sorry for the offense. Wanqing apologizes here!"
After that, she bowed and apologized to Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan also hurriedly said,"Why do you have to be like this, Prime Minister Qing? It's all a misunderstanding! I have not taken it to heart for a long time. Besides, I have no loss, so there is no need to apologize. Just don't blame me for slapping you!"
Murong Wanqing's face froze. She secretly hated Wang Xuan in her heart. He was so ignorant. He brought up all kinds of issues. Wasn't this poking at her?
And how could she not hate him?
This was a slap in her face!
Sooner or later, she would have to pay it back!
But it will be soon. Lin An should have made arrangements. In the next few days, it will be your death date!
Wait, Wang Xuan!
I will make you live a life worse than death!
Thinking of this, Murong Wanqing couldn't help laughing out loud. Wang Xuan was speechless. Murong Wanqing looked so innocent!
Why was she laughing like a fool?
Was she afraid that others didn't know you were up to something bad?
""What is Qing Xiang laughing at?" Wang Xuan asked suddenly.
"Ah!" Murong Wanqing was stunned, and then hurriedly said:"I am very happy to see that the prince has put aside the past grudges! Hahaha!"
Wang Xuan also showed a fake smile.
The two smiled at each other, each with his own thoughts.......
The next day, the two split up into two groups.
The Xuanlong Guard and the Jinyi Guard joined together.
This was Murong Wanqing's request, and the reason was of course that the Jinyi Guard was useless.
Yang Linzheng didn't refute anything when he heard it, because it was indeed the truth.
Wang Xuan also had no objection.
However, Yang Linzheng chose to go to Murong Wanqing's side, and Wang Xuan was puzzled:
"Brother Yang, why don't you stay with me? We can chat on the way."
Yang Linzheng shook his head and said,"I am following the order of His Majesty to protect the Prime Minister, so......"
He had already reached the Grandmaster level a few days ago. Although he was not a perfect Grandmaster, he was much stronger than the average two-flower Grandmaster.
No wonder His Majesty wanted him to protect Murong Wanqing. After all, although Murong Wanqing was a two-flower Grandmaster, in actual combat, she could only barely beat some one-flower Grandmasters. She still needed a combat-oriented talent like Yang Linzheng to protect her.
"Oh well......But you should be careful, especially be careful of Murong Wanqing!" Wang Xuan planned to warn him first.
Yang Linzheng frowned and was about to ask why, but Wang Xuan had already left.
So he could only return to the team with questions.
Then Murong Wanqing led them to the ferry to requisition a boat and sailed up the Jinchang River.
At noon, it was time for lunch.
His subordinate Lu Qing actually brought a jar of wine in his arms and said happily:
"Sir, look what I found in the boat?"
Yang Linzheng took a closer look and kept asking,"Bamboo Leaf Green?"
"Yes! I didn't expect that this ship was actually used to transport wine. There are hundreds of jars of fine wine on the bottom of the ship!" Lu Qing narrowed his eyes and smiled:"Sir, we have been very tired these days. Why don't we let the brothers have a drink?" When the guards heard this, they all showed expectant expressions.
Everyone knew that Yang Linzheng was fond of drinking, and Lu Qing was just trying to please him.
But he still suppressed the impulse, and instead scolded:"These wines belong to the boatman, how can we touch them without permission?"
"Besides, this time we are going to hunt down a wanted criminal, not to go sightseeing. What if we get drunk and get into trouble?"
"Put the wine back!"
""Here!" Lu Qing turned around and went back to the boat with a frustrated look on his face.
The guards were also disappointed, but this was Yang Linzheng's decision and they had no choice.
At this time, Murong Wanqing spoke:
"It will probably take some time to get there. We are all warriors, so drinking some wine won't be a problem. At most, we can just use our internal energy to resolve the problem."
"After a long journey, I really need some wine to comfort myself. I am not an unreasonable person."
"Even if I bought this wine to treat you all, I will pay the boatman twice as much later!"
Yang Linzheng looked embarrassed and said,"Prime Minister Qing, this......"
Seeing the opportunity, Lu Qing quickly advised:"Sir, even the Prime Minister has allowed it, why are you still hesitating?"
Yang Linzheng sighed helplessly:"Okay! You are allowed to drink!"
The guards were surprised
"Thank you, Mr. Qingxiang, thank you, Mr. Assistant Secretary!"
""Oh! It's time to drink!"
The whole boat was noisy.
Then Lu Qing sent people to bring out jars of fine wine from the bottom of the boat, and also found some snacks like peanuts. It can be said that it was very comfortable.
Seeing this, Yang Linzheng could only persuade everyone not to drink too much, just drink moderately.
But basically no one listened to him.
Instead, he was forced to drink a lot of wine.
I don't know how long it took, Yang Linzheng felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.
"What's going on? I don't think I'm drunk."
Yang Linzheng tried to use his true qi to dissolve the alcohol, but it was useless.
He even felt his whole body go limp and collapsed to the ground.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.���
There is something wrong with this wine!
But it was too late. His consciousness had gradually blurred, and finally his eyes went black and he passed out.
At this time, the entire deck was full of fallen guards, staggering here and there, unconscious.
The only two people standing were Murong Wanqing and Lu Qing.
Murong Wanqing directly pulled out a knife and wanted to kill them one by one, but was stopped by Lu Qing.
"Do you want to die together?" Murong Wanqing said coldly.
Lu Qing shook his head:"Don't kill them, it's useful"
"Oh? Keeping them here will be a big hassle. When they wake up, it will be hard to control them."
"Don't worry, the wine contains the master's poison, and their lives and deaths are in our hands."Lu Qing smiled and said,"And we can use them as hostages."
Murong Wanqing knew that what Lu Qing said made sense, so she didn't insist anymore, just snorted coldly and returned to the cabin.
Lu Qing looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers around him and couldn't help but sighed:
"Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan! Look how good I am to you!"
""
I would like to thank [Jin Yi Ye Xing] for his great care! Thank you very much!
