The weather at the end of May became increasingly hot. Although the weather was rather hot, Chu Suiliang didn't find it that hot. After all, he had good self-control and a calm heart would naturally cool down. As long as his heart was calm, he naturally wouldn't feel that hot.
The carriage moved forward at a moderate pace towards the Imperial Capital. However, Chu Suiliang had only just reached Lantian County. God knows how long it would take for him to reach the Imperial Capital.
Chu Suiliang's stay in Jingzhou was truly a hidden pawn of Li Shimin. When Li Shimin left Chang 'an, the civil officials under him all made adjustments. They all had their own allegiances. Some followed Li Chengqian, some followed Li Ke, some followed Li Tai, and some stayed by Li Shimin's side.
Chu Suiliang felt that he was very unlucky.
He was arranged by Li Shimin to be a spy and stay in Jingzhou. In fact, in order to complete the act, he followed Li Tai for a period of time before returning to Jingzhou and staying in Weinan County.
According to Li Shimin's original arrangement for Chu Suiliang, Chu Suiliang was to live in seclusion in Weinan County for a period of time. He would stay in seclusion to teach and gradually build a reputation. News of him staying in Weinan County would naturally reach Du Qi's ears when it reached Xia Xia's territory. When that time came, Du Qi would recruit Chu Suiliang. Chu Suiliang could then take advantage of the situation and directly work for Du Qi.
There would be a long time between living in seclusion in Weinan County and working for Du Qi. Chu Suiliang's suspicions would be greatly reduced. Unfortunately, he met Du Qi early on and his plan was disrupted.
If he rejected Du Qi now, it would be difficult for him to submit to Du Qi in the future.
Chu Suiliang eventually submitted to Du Qi.
However, this submission made Chu Suiliang suspicious of Du Qi. Therefore, even if Chu Suiliang knew about Du Qi's probing, he couldn't do anything about it.
Chu Suiliang's current plan was very simple. He would first take up his post in the Imperial Capital and then keep a low profile. In any case, Chu Suiliang didn't know when the war between the Tang dynasty and Xia Xia would end.
At that moment, all Chu Suiliang needed to do was wait and do his work in Sovereign Capital. A few years later, when the suspicion on him disappeared and Du Qi no longer suspected him, he would naturally use his ability to slowly enter Xia Xia's core and work in Xia Xia's core.
At that time, he would be able to play a role.
Chu Suiliang had a plan in mind, so he wasn't in a hurry. The carriage traveled slowly, and Chu Suiliang was resting in the carriage. While Chu Suiliang's carriage was moving, Chu Suiliang was already in a daze.
"Hu!!!"
Suddenly, the coachman pulled on the reins.
When the horse stopped, the carriage also stopped immediately, because the carriage had stopped in a hurry. Chu Suiliang's body didn't sit properly, and his body leaned forward. Chu Suiliang immediately woke up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands to grab onto the carriage, stopping his body from falling forward. Even so, Chu Suiliang was still shaken and felt a little uncomfortable.
Just as Chu Suiliang was about to berate him, he heard the coachman say, "Family Head, there's someone blocking the road ahead."
The groom's voice was trembling.
Chu Suiliang raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face. He reached out to lift the curtain of the carriage. He raised his head and looked outside, and his eyes widened. A group of about thirty people appeared on the official road outside the carriage.
The one in the lead was shockingly Yan Ruohu.
Chu Suiliang frowned. He came out of the carriage and stood beside it. He looked at Yan Ruohu and the others and said, "I'm Chu Suiliang. Why are you blocking the road on the official road? If you lack money, I have some here, and I can give it to you. "
In Chu Suiliang's opinion, these people might be thieves.
These people were blocking the road for money, and he didn't care about worldly possessions like money. As long as he could save his own life, he didn't care if he had to give his money to these thieves.
Yan Ruohu said in a deep voice, "Chu Suiliang, you old man. You're a subject of the Tang dynasty, but now you've pledged your allegiance to Du Qi and are an accomplice to a villain. Today, I'll eliminate you on behalf of His Majesty. "
"Today, I'll send you on your way!"
Yan Ruohu unsheathed his five-foot-long war saber. Under the sunlight, the blade gleamed with a cold light.
Chu Suiliang raised his hand and said, "Wait, what's the meaning of this?"
Yan Ruohu slowly urged his horse forward and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Miao Teng, the person in charge of the delinquents in Jingzhou. Previously, I led a group of people to ambush Du Qi at Tashan, but the assassination failed. Instead, a group of people were killed by Du Qi. I can't kill Du Qi, but do you think I can't kill a traitor like you? "
Yan Ruohu was still walking forward as he spoke.
Chu Suiliang's mind was racing. He was already pondering whether Miao Teng's appearance was real or fake. Miao Teng's identity was hidden, and Chu Suiliang didn't know that Miao Teng was in charge of the delinquents in Jingzhou. Therefore, Chu Suiliang didn't express anything when he heard Yan Ruohu's words. Instead, he thought that perhaps this was Du Qi's test.
Du Qi was already suspicious of him, so Du Qi didn't let him go with him. Instead, he let him go to the Imperial Capital City by himself. Now that he was on his way there, Du Qi had arranged for people to probe him just to find out his identity. Therefore, Chu Suiliang already had the thought that he couldn't admit his identity. Although the person in front of him was acting as a delinquent of the Tang dynasty, he still couldn't admit it.
Chu Suiliang snorted and said, "Miao Teng, this is Xia Xia's territory. If you dare to kill people here, your whereabouts will definitely be exposed. Once your whereabouts are exposed, none of you will be able to escape. You might even be uprooted. Moreover, I submitted to Xia Xia because His Majesty abandoned me first. I didn't betray the Tang dynasty. "
"Die!"
Yan Ruohu didn't say anything else.
He had already made up his mind. He patted the horse's back, and the warhorse under him instantly sped up and rushed out. The warhorse in his hand immediately swung up and went straight for Chu Suiliang like an arrow released from a bow.
Chu Suiliang watched Yan Ruohu coming for him, especially when Yan Ruohu approached him and was about to slash down with his saber. Chu Suiliang didn't say anything because he was worried that this was Du Qi's test. However, when Chu Suiliang saw the saber slashing down without any pause, he panicked. If he didn't dodge, he would probably be killed.
Under this premise, Chu Suiliang quickly dodged to the side. Even so, he was still a step too slow.
"Slash!"
The saber slashed Chu Suiliang's shoulder.
With one slash, flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Chu Suiliang's body fell to the ground. Chu Suiliang's body fell to the ground and he kept screaming. He reached out to cover the wound on his shoulder. His face was full of pain.
At this moment, there was no part of Chu Suiliang's body that wasn't in pain and discomfort. While Chu Suiliang was screaming, his pupils suddenly shrank and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. Because the other party had slashed down again.
"I'm from the Tang dynasty!"
Chu Suiliang suddenly roared. When his voice came out, the falling saber stopped. When the saber stopped, it was only three inches away from his head. As the saber approached, he even felt a tearing pain on his head.
