"knock……"

"knock……"

"knock……"

…

The sound of percussion was crisp and rhythmic, constantly ringing in the carriage carriage.

After a moment, the sound of knocking suddenly stopped, a pair of closed eyes slowly opened, and a fierce murderous intention spurted out from them.

"Since it failed, there is no need to stay..."

"Here."

The general who had been waiting outside the carriage for a long time heard the faint command coming from his ears. He just bowed calmly and then slowly retreated.

Under the protection of several soldiers, the general walked forward slowly, pulling out a sharp long sword from his waist as he walked.

The sharp edge emerged, even causing the surrounding air to become colder, and it also caused infinite fear in the hearts of several kneeling dead soldiers not far away.

Although he is called a dead man, he should have put life and death aside long ago and entrusted his life to the Lord;

But these dead soldiers are also human beings, and since they are human beings, they will be afraid of death.

In ancient times, many princes, generals and ministers were not exempt from vulgarity, let alone them.

Why did they escape from the Chencang Ancient Road? Wasn't it because they hoped to survive by chance?

But not long after getting rid of the terrifying Wei army, that sharp sword was approaching step by step.

The threat to their lives made their eyes turn red, and their bodies instinctively wanted to escape.

It's a pity that at this moment, they are tightly suppressed by the soldiers around them, and there is no possibility of escaping at all.

"No……"

"No……"

…

The rising fear in their hearts made them feel as if their mouths were tightly blocked and they could not utter any continuous words at all.

After a while, the fear in their hearts slowly dissipated along with a hint of coldness on their necks and the constant spewing of blood.

"Tick..."

"Tick..."

"Tick..."

…

He stared at the corpses lying in a pool of blood in front of him, and even though the blood flowed down the sword, there was not even the slightest hint of emotion in the general's expression.

Slowly sheathing the long sword in his hand, the general walked towards the carriage slowly along the road he came from.

After bowing slightly, the general said in a deep voice: "Sir, everything has been taken care of."

"That's good."

A faint voice sounded in the carriage again, and now the voice was a little more tired.

"Order the soldiers to rest where they are and continue heading north to Guanzhong early tomorrow morning."

"Follow orders."

The general's footsteps became farther and farther away, and the closed eyes of the middle-aged man in the carriage slowly opened again.

Originally, he suggested that Du Jiameng, the Marquis of Ju, send people to attack and kill the Crown Prince Du Empress on the Chencang Ancient Road.

This would firstly avenge the humiliation of Jiameng Pass, secondly, it would eliminate the thorn in the side of Prince Du and Queen Du, and thirdly, it would cast an additional shadow on the already unfriendly relationship between Wei and Shu.

After the death of Crown Prince Du and his entourage, he can go to Anyi to meet the current King of Wei, and then use generous gifts to win the support of Wei.

With no strong internal enemies and strong external support, the Kingdom of Shu will become the target of Du Jiameng, the Marquis of Ju.

It's a pity that the chess move was just one step away. Just when he was about to succeed, a disruptor like the Wei cavalry suddenly appeared.

Now, under the protection of the Wei cavalry, there is no longer any possibility of taking action against Crown Prince Du and Empress Du, and things are developing in a direction that is unfavorable to them.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's eyes sharpened, and he might have to prepare two things.

After a while, the middle-aged man gently put down the ink pen in his hand and blew lightly on the silk book in front of him that was full of words.

"Here comes someone."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the general who left earlier quickly appeared outside the carriage again.

"gentlemen."

Passing the silk book in his hand to the other party, the middle-aged man solemnly warned: "Send someone to give this book to your Majesty quickly."

"besides……"

"Your Majesty, please return to Chengdu from Hanzhong immediately and pay attention to the palace's movements at all times. If things change..."

The middle-aged man did not continue to say the rest, but all the meaning was already contained in it.

The middle-aged people here were on full alert, but the Crown Prince Du of Shu on the other side seemed as happy as a fish entering the sea.

On the way from Shu to Guanzhong, Prince Du and Empress Du were always worried about the dangers that might come at any time.

Now that he was finally out of danger, and protected by the elite cavalry of the Wei army, Prince Du and Empress Du's hanging heart could finally calm down.

At this time, Chengdu was still subject to floods in the Minjiang River and was not yet a land of abundance in later generations. In terms of wealth and prosperity, it could not compare with the land of Guanzhong.

Even though he was the prince of Shu, after seeing the prosperity of Guanzhong, Empress Du was immediately attracted by it.

During the few days he stayed in Yongcheng, Prince Du and Empress Du seemed to have forgotten their mission as ambassador to the State of Wei, and always appeared in the wine shops.

If it hadn't been for the repeated persuasion from the people around her, Prince Du and Empress Du would probably still be immersed in the aroma of wine permeating the Yongcheng wine shop.

However, when the waiter beside him mentioned that Anyi was the capital of Wei State and was more prosperous than Yongcheng today, Empress Du's face, which was originally lacking in interest because of leaving Yongcheng, once again became a little more hopeful.

.

I look forward to seeing more mellow wines, meeting more beautiful women, and seeing how prosperous Anyi, the legendary capital of Wei, was.

After just following the road from Guanzhong to the west, crossing the surging river from Pujin, and walking on the land east of Hedong for several days, Prince Du of Shu and his party finally stood outside Anyi City.

"Prince, Anyi, we are here."

The cheers of the masters outside the car rang out, the curtain was quickly lifted, and the figure of Prince Du of Shu immediately appeared in front of the car.

A much more majestic and magnificent city than Chengdu, the capital of Shu at that time, stood in front of him. He slightly raised his head and looked up, and the two seal characters on the city gate came into view of the Crown Prince Du.

"Anyi."

Seeing these two words, a bright smile immediately appeared on Prince Du's face.

It's not easy. After a long journey, they have finally arrived at their destination.

Retracting his gaze from the Anyi city wall, Prince Du and Empress subconsciously looked around, but the scene in front of him suddenly stunned him.

Although he had already seen Yongcheng and heard that the prosperous Anyi was better than Yongcheng, the constant flow of people around him who poured into the city gate still made Prince Du and Empress somewhat unexpected.

Although the scene in front of me could not be called a crowded place, it could still be considered a huge flow of people.

Those people include wealthy businessmen from all over the world, as well as traveling scholars from various countries, and there are even a few teams that can be vaguely identified as envoys from the princes.

Taking everything into consideration, the prince had to sigh in his heart.

"The land of the Central Plains is really prosperous, incomparable to our land of Bashu."

After feeling envious, Prince Du and Empress Du had some expectations in their hearts. He could not wait to experience the prosperity of Anyi.

"Let's go into the city!"
