LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 78 Change the route to Xiangzhou
"Ah ah ah, how dare you, Zhu Zi! That's too much! Ahem..."
Lu Zhishan cursed angrily in the river and choked several times.
The companions hurriedly fished Lu Zhishan out of the river. Seeing that these people were not easy to deal with, they escorted him back to the cabin.
"Mr. Li, you really haven't changed at all. If the lady knows that you are on the ship, she will be very happy."
Hongyan looked at Li Nuo expectantly.
The beauty has an appointment.
This Li Zian is really quite romantic!
The fourth prince smiled and said: "Go quickly, don't make the beautiful woman wait in a hurry."
Li Nuo shook his head.
So what if we meet?
It's not just adding trouble.
Talking about anything seems awkward.
He said: "Hongyan, when the boat enters the Han River, we will disembark at the pier in front. Ziyuan... you better not tell her that I have been here..."
"Young Master... Miss, I don't want to be able to stay with you, but why don't you even have the chance to meet me again?"
Hongyan was deeply disappointed.
Mr. Li obviously protects the young lady very much, and his intentions can be seen at a glance, but why does he suddenly become so hard-hearted?
Li Nuo took a deep breath and said seriously: "Listen to me."
Now that he has a family, how can he still be merciful?
Besides, Ziyuan redeemed herself. Although it is difficult for a woman in the world of mortals to choose a good life, since she has chosen it, he will definitely have a hundred supports, so how can she continue to tease others?
It is better to forget each other in the world than to meet each other in the world.
Soon, an hour passed.
Lu Zhishan and his group did not jump out to force their presence.
As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Lu Zhishan completely hated Li Nuo, but how could Li Nuo care?
The layout is not at the same level at all, and there is no chance of even being an opponent.
The ship finally entered the Han River.
Li Nuo and his party disembarked from the ship and soon appeared in the wilderness without taking the official route.
"Zian, why don't we continue riding and take the land route instead?"
Uncle Zhennan shouted with a loud voice.
Among the group of people, he was the most seriously injured, but he recovered the fastest and was mostly recovered. As expected of a martial artist, this body is indeed powerful.
Li Nuo replied: "It will take at least one day for us to leave Jiangnan Road by boat to the west..."
Uncle Zhennan was puzzled: "So what?"
Well, there really was nothing to say to a martial artist, and he probably couldn't understand even if he explained it. Li Nuo turned his attention to the fourth prince and said, "Your Highness, who do you think would be most beneficial if you died in Jiangnan Road?"
The fourth prince's whole body was filled with excitement.
For some reason, whenever Li Nuo talked to him in this questioning tone, he always felt that there seemed to be an aura about him that made people's hair tremble, like a knife, cutting through his ambitions layer by layer!
It seems to be testing him again!
"I don't know who will benefit the most, but the Governor of Jiangnan Province will definitely be implicated."
The fourth prince thought for a moment and replied.
Li Nuo asked: "Who is the Governor of Jiangnan Province?"
"Ahem, a governor, a frontier official, naturally...his father's people!"
The fourth prince replied seriously.
Seeing the fourth prince's insincere expression, Li Nuo just smiled.
No matter who the governor was, his relationship with the fourth prince should be good.
Li Nuo didn't go into details. He came to a gentle slope and whistled to the sky. After a while, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the grass.
A horse demon came running from a distance with a dozen wild horses.
"This is……"
Everyone looked at the horse demon leading the team with shock on their faces.
The horse demon felt a little ashamed...
He actually thought about escaping, but when he thought about Li Nuo saying that he could help it become a [Fourth Level Devouring Realm] demon general, he was tempted again.
Um.
The body thrown to it the day before yesterday was so delicious!
With a few more bodies like this, there is hope for advancement!
Li Nuo saw the horse demon arriving as promised and said with a smile: "Ma Mian, you really did not disappoint me. I will fulfill my promise to you when I escort His Highness back to Chang'an."
"Horse demon! Zian, when did you tame the horse demon?"
The fourth prince looked surprised.
When did Li Zian arrange a backup plan?
This horse demon looks very strong!
In fact, in Chang'an, in addition to humans, other races are not uncommon, such as Kunlun slaves, demon cultivators... However, these foreign races have basically been domesticated and marked with spiritual imprints.
But at this time, the horse demon he saw had no brand mark on its face, it was wild!
Once such a demonic cultivator is discovered by the government, of course they will be arrested and escorted to Yuzhou and imprisoned in the Purgatory Tower.
"This is a prisoner imprisoned in [Purgatory Tower]. I'm temporarily borrowing it for you to use. Everyone, please mount up."
Li Nuo explained while getting on his horse.
…
A group of people galloped on their horses.
Perhaps Li Nuo's strategy of taking the land route worked, and the journey was really smooth.
Wearing stars and wearing moon.
Seven days later.
They arrived at Xiangzhou on Shannan Road, which was less than two or three hundred miles away from Chang'an. They could almost reach it in a day of hard work.
"Zi'an, we're not far from Chang'an. It's getting late. Let's go to the city and take a rest. After running around for several days, it's too much for everyone."
Wang Jincheng is a Confucian scholar, so his health is naturally a little weak. Moreover, he has been running around for days and is injured, so he really can't bear it anymore.
The fourth prince also said: "We lost eight horses to death, and we really need to repair it. Ahead of us is Xiangzhou Mansion. After passing Xiangzhou Mansion, we go north for another three hundred miles and enter the pass. Chang'an is right in front of us."
"Then let's go to the city and rest, but I always feel a little strange..."
Li Nuo said.
"What's weird?"
Everyone got off their horses and stretched their muscles.
Li Nuo repeated his old trick and asked the horse demon to take the remaining horses to the east gate and wait for them at the north gate early tomorrow morning.
Then he said to everyone: "It's too easy."
Wang Jincheng frowned and said: "Zian, are you worrying too much? The assassins prepared a means by water, but we took the land route, and it will take time for them to react. What's more, we never go through official channels, so they don't want to find us. Easy, right?"
"I'm afraid they will be waiting for us on the road ahead!"
If you don't expect victory, you should expect defeat.
It is always right to consider the worst outcome first.
Wang Jincheng: "Are you too worried? Xiangzhou is the administrative center of Shannan Dao. The mansion is occupied by a fourth-grade Confucian scholar, and there are 10,000 soldiers stationed in Xiangshan."
"I'm afraid that if we enter Xiangzhou Yi, it will be difficult to get out..."
Li Nuo sighed.
Wang Jincheng said displeased: "Li Zian, you don't think that Prefect Xiang will be complicit with the killer, right? He was a first-class Jinshi twenty years ago."
Although they are both prefects like Chen Yuyan, the rank of the prefect of Xiangzhou is much higher. He still holds the official title of Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs!
Of course, the governor of Xiangzhou, like Wang Jincheng, came from the Imperial College.
This is also the reason why Wang Jincheng is dissatisfied with Li Nuo.
