Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Doubts
After hearing Yang Hao's teasing question, Young Master Ye said angrily, "Who has such bad eyesight that they can't even tell the difference between male and female?"
Yang Hao laughed and said, "It's you who said that, and I'm the one who asked this question. I thought that some strong people would get angry and just let it go."
Young Master Ye rolled his eyes at him angrily, stretched out his hand to part his hair, and said resentfully: "It's really unlucky to say, I was going to see you in Bianliang..."
Yang Hao interjected, "Don't you know that I'm going west with the official family?"
Young Master Ye said: "I know about the official tour to the west. I also know that King Jin, the third prime minister, the privy envoy, and the third envoy...all followed, but I haven't heard of your name."
Yang Hao said embarrassingly: "Compared with them, my official is indeed a little smaller. Well, you say, go to Bianliang to find me, why did you become like this?"
When Young Master Ye heard this, he smiled wryly and said, "It was pretty good. I went to find you when I arrived in Kaifeng. As I was walking on the road, I saw officers and soldiers all over the street. They rushed towards me without saying a word. I thought I had leaked my identity." , Let Huangcheng Division be watched, I jumped out of the car and ran away in fright, sir, you know, I use my own car, if they catch me and prove my identity, then they will arrest me The Ye family stewed it with a spoonful."
Yang Hao said nervously: "Why are they following you? Haven't they confirmed your true identity?"
Ye Dashao slapped his thigh and said: "It's extremely bad luck. After I ran away, I realized that they were not arresting me, but all the people who were dressed as scholars like me. After inquiring in private, I realized that it was a general." I was assassinated just now, and the murderer was a person dressed as a scholar like me. The officers and soldiers couldn't tell the difference for a while, so they had to arrest them one by one, and then the person who had seen the murderer would identify the murderer. The whole city of Tokyo was in chaos. I ran to protest to the king of Wei."
Yang Hao wondered, "Which general was assassinated?"
Young Master Ye said: "It is General Cao Han who just made great contributions in the first battle against the Tang Dynasty. General Cao escorted five hundred iron arhats, and just arrived at Bianliang Wharf, a scholar held up a painting scroll, It is said to congratulate General Cao for opening up the territory and making great achievements in battle, so he drew a picture of "Golden Armor of Hundred Battles in Yellow Sand", wrote a poem, and presented it to General Cao to congratulate him.
General Cao was very happy, so he asked the scholar to come forward to offer the painting. When the scholar presented the picture in front of General Cao under the eyes of everyone, he drew a short blade from the scroll and stabbed it into General Cao's left. Then, like a big bird, it went through the wall and disappeared without a trace.Poor General Cao, surrounded by a cloud of followers and good at martial arts, he died unjustly..."
Yang Hao said in surprise, "Cao Han was assassinated?"
Ye Dashao said: "Yes, people all over the street are spreading the rumors. Some people say that the scholar can travel thousands of miles a day. The flying sword in his hand is the true biography of Kong Konger, a swordsman in the Tang Dynasty. The assassination strategy he used is Jing Ke’s method of assassinating the King of Qin, hey, anyway, there is a lot of rumors, that person ran away, and those of us who dress up as scholars will be unlucky. Others are not afraid of being caught, but I have a ghost in my heart. Ye just rushed to your house, and only then did I know that you were coming to Luoyang with the emperor. So I hurried over, along the way, everywhere I was looking for the scholar, I was dressed as a scholar, it was really hard for me to move, With an idea, I changed into women's clothes..."
"Okay, okay, I know you have worked hard. Hehe, but then again, in this line of work, you can't just rely on other people to protect you. You should practice some kung fu yourself. If you find time in the future, you will have to find a master to learn kung fu." ..."
While comforting him, Yang Hao thoughtfully said: "Cao Han is dead? I knew he had committed too much crime. If God doesn't report it, someone will come to take revenge. The battle of Jiangzhou killed six people in the city." Wan Shengling, this must be because the people in the world can't see his methods, so they are doing justice for the sky."
Young Master Ye said: "It's none of our business if he kills him. The adults are in a hurry to let the little ones come, but do you have something important to order?"
Yang Hao came back to his senses and said: "Well, you have to tell me about the situation in Luzhou in detail. Also, you should find a way to get me one of the eagles you trained as soon as possible. From now on First of all, you have to keep someone by my side, and report any news in time. In addition, you must send a message back quickly, so that the adoptive father will send a team to go outside Yanmen Pass to wait for Mu Yu's orders. By the way, how is the adoptive father's body now? gone?"
"Alas, Mr. Mu's body... is so bad. Uncle Ding invited a famous doctor to treat him, but he couldn't make him heal. No one let him drink. Mu En and the others knelt down and begged, but no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't help it." listen……"
The wheels are rolling, gradually disappearing in the streets of Luoyang...
In the Luoyang palace, Zhao Kuangyin was wandering in the imperial garden. At this time, the winter snow was gone, the spring buds were beginning to sprout, and the icicles under the eaves were dripping with melted water. The atmosphere of early spring made people feel restless. Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a Ge-yellow casual gown, a cloth scarf of the same color on his forehead, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, wide mouth and thick eyebrows, walking like a warrior returning home after his official career. He was indeed ill, but it was just a minor ailment. With his strong body, it was not a problem at all. He was not in court for a few days. On the one hand, he was indeed in a bad mood, and on the other hand, he was thinking about his next plan. He moved the tiger away from the mountain and won over the Luoyang defenders, just as a habitual precautionary measure. In fact, he didn't believe that his second brother would be against him, and dared to be against him. From the very beginning, he wanted to use soft methods to resolve the dispute between brothers. this divergence.Unexpectedly, the second brother was not intimidated by the stance he put on, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were almost one-sidedly opposed to moving the capital. Had to put it on hold for now. He still has time and means, so why worry? Since the Anshi Rebellion more than 200 years ago, the Central Plains gradually began to fall, foreign races invaded, princes separatist, constantly changing dynasties, constantly fighting and plundering, but he, the son of a military officer born in Jiamaying, Luoyang, was born in the middle of nowhere. It only took more than ten years to reunify the Central Plains and establish a stable and powerful hegemony regime. He can do such a big thing, what else can't he do? He is not in a hurry, since the second brother still refuses to give up, he can use ten or twenty years to slowly wear down the ambition of the second brother.The second brother does not have the guts to oppose him, nor will he. The second brother just wants to create an unparalleled reputation in the court, forcing him to consider that once he chooses the prince to inherit the great rule, then after his death, the Song Dynasty will definitely The emergence of a dangerous situation where the master is weak and the minister is strong, forced him to include his brother in the selection target of Li Chu. It doesn't matter, isn't it just that the master is weak and the minister is strong?How can the second brother make it difficult for me? Zhao Kuangyin smiled bluntly, stopped in his tracks, and turned his eyes to the northwest sky... There was another kingdom there, a crumbling one. The Central Plains is already in his hands. Next, he will destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, regain the Sixteen States of Youyun, and reunify Kyushu in his lifetime.But the world has been set for the first time. Now Song needs to recuperate and gather strength before launching the Northern Expedition. He clearly realizes that the Khitan people are not so easy to deal with. They are far stronger than Shu, Han, Jing, Hu, and Tang. They are even stronger together, even stronger than the current Song State. The Northern Expedition cannot be completed overnight. In this case, we must plan before we move, otherwise, once we lose, it is likely to dampen the morale of Song State from now on, and the Northern Expedition will be even more difficult. Therefore, the Northern Han Kingdom, which took refuge in Khitan, could not move it until it decided to go to war with Khitan.But now the opportunity has come, the Khitan weak master ascended the throne, attracting careerists to appear on the stage one after another. After the secret fight, King Qing finally tore his face and launched a rebellion, which led to a major breakup among the Khitan clans.Now Yelu Xiezhen, the great king of the Southern Academy, has sent troops to raid their hometown. Although King Qing hastily retreated from the capital, his strength has not suffered too much loss. Wang dragged his feet and it was difficult to help.Without the support of the Khitan people, how could the Northern Han Dynasty be vulnerable, why not take this opportunity to take it down? Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "After returning to Beijing this time, let Dezhao personally lead the troops in the Northern Expedition, all the generals who are good at fighting in the court and China can be driven by him, and those generals who have not achieved military success in this Southern Expedition will respond one after another, and then Zhao Pu will be appointed as a counselor , with the army to assist in the war, and when the emperor's son returns after his achievements, he will have the merit of destroying the country as a prince; Guangyi is the king of Jin, and he will also have the merit of destroying the country. At that time, I will use my military exploits to let Zhao Pu return to the court. After this lesson, Zhao Pu should be able to restrain himself a bit. With him to check and balance my second brother, I will hand over many state affairs to Dezhao. With my support, three years to five years Years, ten or eight years later, is it still possible that Dezhao's prestige and power will not be higher than that of Guangyi? Guangyi, even if you are a towering tree, you have already grown to the end now, and Dezhao is just a branch that has just sprouted green in early spring. When you are neck and neck, by then, you Naturally you know how to stop, even if you don't want to stop, then you will be powerless, moisten things silently..."
Zhao Guangyi rode on the horse, and said in a dejected manner: "Leave while you are happy, and return when you are disappointed. Alas, I remember going to the Luo River with my elder brother when I was young. The scenery is infinite and beautiful. Looking at it now, why do I feel that I have no interest." Murong Qiuzui smiled and said: "Qiantui, now that the snow has just disappeared, and it's not yet the season of spring and flowers blooming, naturally there is nothing to see beside the Luo River." Zhao Guangyi shook his head and sighed: "At that time, the weather had just warmed up..." Murong Qiuzui smiled and said: "The taste of youth is naturally different from that of adulthood. Hehe, at that time Qiantui went to the Luohe River and wanted to break the ice to catch a fat fish. It was the greatest pleasure. It is not the case now, if this Going to the Luohe River, to be greeted by Luoshen, that would be the greatest joy, right?" Zhao Guangyi raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. The fun of being a teenager is naturally very different from that of being an adult. Well... Luoshen... I heard when I was young that Concubine Mi of Luoshen was originally the daughter of Fuxi's family. , she settled on the bank of Luoshen, and was coveted by the Bo of the Yellow River, who took her into the water mansion and forced her to be his wife. At this time, his wife stole the elixir and returned to the Heavenly Palace. After defeating He Bo and saving her back to the human world, the two fell in love for a long time and became husband and wife, and the Heavenly Emperor made Hou Yi the God of Zongbu and Concubine Mi the God of Luo." Murong Qiuzui said: "That's right. Later, Cao Zijian had a crush on his sister-in-law Zhenshi. He also used the excuse that he met Concubine Mi of Luoshen by the Luoshui River, and wrote an article "Ode to Luoshen" to express his infatuation with Zhenshi. Also, graceful like a frightened bird, graceful like a wandering dragon, glorious with autumn chrysanthemums, and lush spring pine trees. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar...Looking at it from afar... ...far and..." Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Why, Mr. Murong can't remember the words? Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. When observing it by force, it is as bright as green waves coming out of a hibiscus. The slenderness is in harmony, and the shortness is in harmony. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as usual. The neck is stretched to show off the neck, and the quality is exposed. "My lord, it's not that I've forgotten my words. Look at that woman, she can be regarded as slender, short and well-fitting. If the shoulders are shaved, but the waist is as plain?" Zhao Guangyi flashed his eyes and saw a tall woman in white on the road ahead, with a plain belt around her waist. She walked gracefully and gracefully. The two people talked about each other, so the pace slowed down. When they walked in front of the woman in white, the two of them looked back at the same time, wanting to see if the woman's appearance was as amazing as her back. The woman was really beautiful, Zhao Guangyi only felt that the woman's peach blossom eyes were alluring, but before she could reveal her astonishing expression, the woman in white suddenly raised her cloud sleeves, the cold light flashed, and her figure jumped up, astonishing as quickly as lightning The sword stabbed at his throat. "Ah!" Murong Qiuzui exclaimed, his body was about to jump up when he moved, his heart suddenly flashed, and he paused again unconsciously, in this split second, the sword light reached Zhao Guangyi's throat, Zhao Guangyi got up on his back, With both legs out of the stirrups, he kicked hard on the horse's back, and his burly body avoided this dangerous and dangerous sword with great dexterity. The woman in white raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised at his skill. She stretched out her hand to press on the saddle, and came again with a sword, which still stabbed at his throat. Zhao Guangyi had just landed, and stepped back a few steps. The sleeves were rolled up and wrapped around the blade of the woman in white, only to hear a "squeak", the sleeves shattered like butterflies in the sky, and the sword in the woman's hand was also lifted into the air. Zhao Guangyi exhaled and let out a palm. He slapped the woman's puffy breasts fiercely, without any intention of pity. At this time, all the guards of the King of Jin rushed forward. As soon as Zhao Guangyi fought, he realized that this woman's swordsmanship was really not very good. Just now, her amazing sword was completely relying on her extremely fast body skills to pose a threat to him. So he shouted loudly: "Stand aside and wait for this king to capture her!" Zhao Guangyi flexed his fingers like a hook, he used to catch and grab, the white-clothed woman's swordsmanship was really bad, she could only rely on her incomparable body skills to fight and retreat, Murong Qiuzui dismounted slowly, his eyes flickered, looking at the two sides in the battle, suddenly Stretching out his hand, he took out the saber from under the ribs of a soldier, raised his hand, and shouted: "Qiantui, take the sword!" Zhao Guangyi took a step back, took the sword in his hand, suddenly there was a sound of wind and thunder, the sword in his hand was much stronger than the woman, the woman retreated quickly, Zhao Guangyi chased after him with the sword, the woman fought him several times He, the short sword in his hand was about to let go and fly away. Seeing that he was invincible, relying on his wonderful body skills, he wanted to get away and leave. Zhao Guangyi was not willing to let go, so he stopped her with a sword. Suddenly a person jumped out of the wall, also wearing women's clothes, but his face was covered with a cloth handkerchief, with a sword in his hand, flying like a fairy flying out of the sky. "Keng Keng Keng", the two swords met, and Zhao Guangyi was forced to retreat three steps in a row.Zhao Guangyi looked at the masked man in astonishment, he was amazed at the mastery of this man's swordsmanship, and also at the sword he used. Both of them used broadswords used in the army, which could be held with both hands and cut like knives and axes. hack. "Who are you?" Seeing that the opponent was using a military sword, Zhao Guangyi was startled and angry, and asked sharply. The man's face was covered with a veil, and a felt hat was pressed down on his head. The brim of the hat was lowered to his brows. He lowered his head slightly, and instead of looking at him, he grabbed the woman in white. Zhao Guangyi gave a loud shout , held the sword with both hands, and slashed at the man three times, but the man used the sword with one hand to defuse it with a very ingenious technique. Zhao Guangyi was not good at swordsmanship, so when he saw that the man's swordsmanship was obviously higher than his own, he suddenly let go Slashing away, he pulled away and snatched the tasseled spear from a guard. The gun pierces a line, and the stick hits a large area.However, if the tip of the stick is attached, it is a gun, and if the tip is removed from the gun, it is a stick. Therefore, the gun and the stick are connected.This spear was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, it was like a fierce tiger, sometimes with a spear, sometimes with a stick, as the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and this big gun was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, it was a bit difficult for him to use the sword. Zhao Guangyi pierced his spear like a wandering dragon, and swept his stick like a madman, displaying the skill of the spear and stick to the fullest, the man seemed to be dragging the white-clothed woman away, seeing Zhao Guangyi's powerful stick skills, unable to get away, he suddenly let go of the white-clothed woman, Fight back with a big sword in both hands. Zhao Guangyi sneered, swung his gun, and pointed it at the man's chest.The gun was afraid of shaking his head and the stick was afraid, and with a shake of the big gun, three Phoenix three nodded, the tip of the gun was shaken into a round and small circle, and suddenly pierced the man's throat and shoulders faster than lightning, Which shot is real and which shot is false is really unpredictable. He moved, buckled, and stabbed the spear, all three movements were done in one go. Who would have expected that man's swordsmanship to be superb, the epee in his hand made him extremely light, and he deciphered this sure-to-kill spear, and he made a backhand sword strike. Sticking to the handle of the gun, it came to his palm. The gun is like a swimming dragon, unpredictable, the gun shaft does not go straight, the sharp point of the gun pierces out, the gun shaft trembles, like a dragon snake winding forward, when the sword is cut, Zhao Guangyi shakes his wrist, knocks and collapses In the meantime, he flicked the sword away with the barrel of the gun, flipped the big gun, and pierced the handle of the gun towards the man's vagina, the man forced back his attack with a sword, and took advantage of the situation to pull the woman in white, shouting Saying: "Go!" They both jumped to the top of the wall. Zhao Guangyi fired his big gun, and like a flying dragon, he chased after the man. The man was in the air, swung his sword once, and borrowed the counter-shock of the gun to dodge behind the wall even faster. Zhao Guangyi's majestic prince naturally has no reason to chase madly in the street, he shouted: "Chasing! Chase me!" Those soldiers immediately rushed to the wall. "Thousands..." Murong Qiuzui stepped forward, Zhao Guangyi stopped him with a wave of his hand, looked around at many people who had gathered to watch the excitement, and said with a gloomy face, "Let's talk when we go back." He saddled and got on the horse, and the guards immediately surrounded him to protect him, and some people dispersed the people. Zhao Guangyi galloped forward, not far away, when he saw a sedan chair in front of him, and a person stood on the shaft, facing towards him. Looking from afar.When the man turned his head, he saw Zhao Guangyi galloping towards him, jumped off his horse and bowed his head, "Thousand years old." Zhao Guangyi saw that this person was Yang Hao. He was only in a sedan chair and had no guards to accompany him. He seemed to be coming back from a tour. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly reined in his horse and said, "Mr. ?” Yang Hao said: "Oh, I went to visit the White Horse Temple today. I just came back and saw a few soldiers from the palace rushing forward. I don't know..." Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked: "Just now, did you see two women hurrying past?" Yang Hao said: "I have indeed seen it, but... Although one of them is wearing women's clothes, his figure and gait look like a man. They walked very fast, and the officials were wondering, when they saw the soldiers of the palace coming, When I met Xiaguan, I also asked about their whereabouts, as soon as Xiaguan pointed out the direction, they hurriedly thanked them and chased after them, Chitose, but what happened, I wonder if Xiaguan can be useful?" Zhao Guangyi forced himself to smile and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that two civilian girls collided with the king's ceremonial guard, and the guards made a big fuss. Let Yang Zuo go and get busy." He hurriedly avoided a step and gave way, when Zhao Guangyi and his party had gone far away, Yang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, he hurried back into the car, and as soon as he entered the car, he saw Young Master Ye and the woman in white sitting side by side. Yang Hao hurriedly put down the car curtain, and asked in a deep voice, "Bi Su, what are you doing?" It turned out that the woman in white was Bisu in disguise, and the assassination scene in the alley fell into the eyes of Yang Hao who just passed by here. Yang Hao recognized Bisu at a glance, and couldn't help being horrified. Being arrested, Yang Haoji thought about it in desperation. He ordered the car to move on, and hurriedly changed into Young Master Ye's female attire, covered his face with a cloth handkerchief, and took a large mouthful from the two trusted guards who accompanied him. Jian, ordered the two of them to go back alone, then rushed to rescue Bi Su and came back, before he had time to ask him why, after dismissing the officers and soldiers who were chasing him, he stood on the front of the car and acted. Hearing his question, Bi Su's blood ran through his pupils, and he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "I want... to kill Zhao Guangyi!"
"Chitose..." Zhao Guangyi turned around until Murong Qiu's eyes were dazzled, then Zhao Guangyi stopped and shook his head gently: "No, it won't be him, he won't send someone to kill me, no..." Murong Qiuzui's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked: "Does Qiantui know who appointed that assassin?" Zhao Guangyi glanced at him, his face became more gloomy, he pondered for a while, shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "You go and rest yourself. Ordinary people don't make troubles to report, so try to suppress this matter as much as possible." Come down, if someone really asks, it’s not appropriate to say anything about it.” "Yes, Murong is leaving." Murong Qiuzui gave him a deep look, and retreated with his hands folded. Zhao Guangyi sat down on the chair slumped, and murmured to himself: "That man wields a great sword in the army... Who would kill me? No, it won't be him, it won't be him, brother Even if you are annoyed that I want to covet the throne, and with the temperament of the eldest brother, you will not kill me. This fight is a contest of strength. Whoever can win the crown prince will be able to inherit the great treasure. The eldest brother and the supreme status, Absolutely will not resort to such indiscriminate means.” Thinking about it carefully, he wavered his judgment again: "But... Brother Huang, do you think that all the officials objected to moving the capital because they were bribed by me, so they are afraid?" He put his hands behind his back and walked up in the hall again, his face cloudy and uncertain: "I have returned from the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, and the momentum has been the same for a while. Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, and Tian Qinzuo are the forbidden troops who are willing to carry out our military orders to the letter. General, I gave them great compliments and made credit for them. The act of showing kindness and invitation was too obvious. They also reciprocated. They were quite close to me and walked closer. Cao Han plundered countless gold and silver, and even wanted to send me off. A generous gift, and now there are hundreds of officials and I agreeing to block the transfer of the capital, will my elder brother hear the news, treat me..., but...will he be so cruel and attack me because of this?" Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's usual behavior and his deep feelings for his brothers, Zhao Guangyi hesitated, and while he was meditating, someone whispered from the entrance of the hall: "Chitose, there are people in Beijing who have brought urgent news." Zhao Guangyi suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Let him come in." That person was a small official in Nan Yamen, and also Zhao Guangyi's confidant. When he saw Zhao Guangyi in the hall, he immediately saluted Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi asked, "What happened in the capital?" The man said: "Thousand years old, General Cao Han was assassinated at the Bianhe Wharf on the day he returned to Beijing." "what?" Zhao Guangyi was stunned when he heard this, and the man said again: "This matter has nothing to do with my Nanya, but Qiantui has ordered that if there is any trouble in the capital, no matter whether it has anything to do with my Nanya, you must report it to Qiantui." , so Judge Cheng ordered his subordinates to come forward and report." Zhao Guangyi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "When was General Cao Han assassinated?" The man reported: "Three days ago, because it was not an urgent matter involving our Nan Ya, and because the murderer was arrested everywhere, it might attract the attention of interested people, so the subordinate did not borrow the official post horse, and did not dare to disclose the identity of the Nan Ya. I only came here as a merchant, and I didn't dare to rush, so I just rushed to Luoyang today." Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed: "Three days? It's been three days. The dignified court officials were assassinated, and they should report to the officials the next day. Why doesn't Luoyang know anything about it?" The man was surprised and said: "What? Didn't Wei Wang Qiansui and the third younger brother of Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Yinhuang report this matter to the officials? This...subordinates don't know..." Wei Wang Dezhao and Zhao Guangmei really suppressed this matter, because the emperor's western tour was after the unification of the Central Plains, and he happily went to sacrifice his ancestors. At this time, he hastily reported that the minister of the court was assassinated and died. .Furthermore, it was the first time for the two of them to be in charge of staying in Bianliang, and immediately such a big case happened under their own control. No one knew who the murderer was, so how would they explain it to the officials?The two thought about catching the murderer as well. If they could catch the murderer before reporting to Zhao Kuangyin, they would look better. With this concern, they suppressed the matter for the time being as the state supervisor. The ghostly Zhao Guangyi became suspicious. Zhao Guangyi rolled his eyes a few times, and asked again: "How did General Cao get assassinated?" The man said: "On the day when General Cao escorted five hundred iron arhats back to Beijing, when they were at the Bianhe wharf, a scholar suddenly presented them with a calligraphy and painting..." The little official said it all over again, Zhao Guangyi asked him carefully, waved him back, and his expression became even more ugly.Among the generals, Cao Han is the closest to him now.Cao Han's demeanor-like style is very suitable for Zhao Guangyi's appetite. In the credit book, he also said the most kind words for Cao Han. Ten boats of treasures were carefully selected and presented to King Jin. Now that he is dead, the prison country did not make it public, and then he was assassinated. The murderer's tactics were similar, they were all disguised, and they were all close to him with excuses. They were all as light as a spirit ape, coming and going like the wind. Miracle? The assassination of a minister, a rare event in ten years, happened one after another in Tokyo and Xijing within three days, and there were so many relationships between the two assassins, and then thinking of the assassin who missed and hurriedly jumped out of a woman's clothes, it was a man with a man's figure Zhao Guangyi's heart sank when he used the great sword in the army: "Brother, in order to leave the throne to your son, do you really want to put your brother to death?"
In the mansion where Yang Hao lived temporarily, he listened to Bi Su's tearful recounting of the farewell and the tragic death of Miss Shuiyue, thinking of the little girl who could only smile at him softly, she died just like that, Yang Hao's heart felt like a needle Zha, Young Master Ye muttered at the side, wanting to persuade Bi Su a few words, but seeing his appearance, he was speechless. After Bisu finished speaking, he stood up with tears in his eyes and said: "Thank you for your kindness and virtue, Bisu will keep it in his heart, Bisu is an assassin, it is not appropriate to stay here to cause disaster for your lord, so I will leave here." Yang Hao said in a deep voice, "Where are you going?" Bi Su stood still, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't kill Zhao Guangyi, this thief, Bi Su is in vain. I will choose the opportunity to assassinate again!" Yang Hao said indifferently: "You are not his opponent. If you can't make a sneak attack once, it will be even harder to get another chance. Don't you want to ask me for help?" Bisu turned around slowly, bowed to him, and said slowly: "Assaulting and killing important officials of the royal family is a crime that will bring down the heavens. Bisu is alone, with no worries and cares. My lord has his own family and a bright future, and he has many brothers to rely on." You are planning a big event, how can Bi Su implicate the adults? Bi Su only hates that he did not listen to the words of the adults, and did not walk with Da Lang. Now that he is in such an innocent disaster, he can be rescued by the adults. He is grateful and cannot do it again Drag the adults into the water." Yang Hao walked towards him step by step, and said in a deep voice: "You and I met at the ferry in the past, and we both ran for their lives in the northwest. Have you forgotten how we depended on each other for our lives?" "On the grassland, Mr. Yang was devoured by a poisonous snake. His life was at stake. It was your snake medicine that saved his life. Have you forgotten?" "Since I arrived in Luzhou, whether I have been an official, a citizen, or a bandit, you have run around for me without a word of complaint. Have you forgotten?" "You forgot, but I didn't forget. I treat you like a brother. How can I treat you like a running dog? In this world, there is no shortage of King Jin. I, Yang Hao, don't want to lose you as a brother!" Bisu was moved with tears in his eyes, and tremblingly said: "No, your lord's plan is very big, how can you commit suicide for Bisu's own revenge, Bisu dare not agree, can't agree." Yang Hao walked up to him, put his hands on his shoulders, looked at him and said, "You are wrong, I know that your hatred is higher than the sky, but I didn't want to take revenge with you immediately. His martial arts... ...It was really beyond my expectation. The sword I used today is not in my hand, but his spear is not a weapon he is good at. Judging from the situation in which I fought just now, if I fight alone, with my current martial arts, there is nothing I can do. He, what's more, after this incident, his guards must be strict. Even if we succeed, it will be difficult to retreat. I will help you deal with your enemies, but I don't mean to take our lives. Gentleman revenge , ten years is not too late, if you want to succeed with one blow, you have to be able to wait now." Bi Su nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "I can wait, I'll be poor all my life, what I have is patience!" Yang Hao smiled and said: "That's it. You must not show your face now, and stay here in hiding. After a few days, the wind subsides, and I will send you away." He turned his head to look at a corner of the sky outside the hall, and said softly: "This world has changed a lot, but many things have not changed, even in the vicissitudes of life, people's hearts, human nature, desires... these things have not changed, some people's choices are It won't change, as long as his choice doesn't change, his actions may not be untraceable. I promise you, I will definitely find the most appropriate opportunity for you to kill your enemy!"
Zhao Kuangyin is about to drive back to Beijing. He walked slowly in the old residence, looking at the unchanged eaves, the wall he had climbed, and the neighbor's jujube tree that had stolen the jujube. The past is still vivid in his memory, but he has changed from a man who walked out of the house with a stick to travel the world alone, to the Nine-Five Supreme, the owner of the Central Plains.Surrounded by countless ministers, he is at the top of the world, but he feels infinitely lonely in his heart. Standing in a back alley, thinking for a while, Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "I remember, when I was a child, I once got a little stone horse. I loved it more than a treasure, and it was often stolen by my playmates, so I buried it here. I don't know how it is now." still there?" Immediately, a big man from the Forbidden Army stepped forward and dug a big hole near the place he pointed out. As expected, he found a small stone horse. Zhao Kuangyin took it in his hand, and caressed it gently , with an infinitely warm radiance on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's go..." The carts were rolling, the horses were rustling, and the team once again went to his parents' grave to bid farewell to the two elders. After weeping and sacrificing his parents, Zhao Kuangyin climbed to the turret of the cemetery and looked around. He saw the mountains of Shaoshi and Taishi in the south; Qinglong and Shiren peaks in the east; "What a wonderful place, even if Guanzhong is closed, at least I should choose this place to be my imperial capital. Here, I will not give up!" He suddenly called a guard of the forbidden army, took his strong bow, took an arrow, and shot a sword in the northwest direction, and said in a vibrating voice: "The place where the arrow stops is my imperial hall. After my thousand years, Be buried here!" He took out the little stone horse and asked someone to bury it at the place where the arrow fell as a mark. Immediately, a trusted general took over the stone horse and led more than a hundred guards to gallop away, looking for the arrow that fell. Zhao Kuangyin took another look at the green mountains and green waters, and said, "Let's go back to Beijing!" At this time, Yang Hao was on his way to the north, leading 1,800 forbidden troops, ostentatiously heading north, heading straight for Shangjing. Yesterday at the court meeting, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi suddenly claimed to be ill, and he will go to court in the future.This is a trivial matter. In the early spring, people tend to get sick easily. These days, there are quite a few minor illnesses among the Chinese, Chinese and military ministers, and no one takes it to heart. At first I thought that today's court meeting was nothing important, but just as the routine was about to end, I suddenly received an urgent report from the military. Go, there is a big battle between the two sides, and each has casualties. All the officials were in an uproar when they heard this, and Yang Hao was also very surprised. He was about to arrange for people to create friction outside Yanmen Pass and create opportunities for himself to go to Khitan as an envoy, but the news about Young Master Ye had not been passed on, so it was impossible for his people to do it. of.In the current situation in the Northern Kingdom, if the Song Dynasty interferes, will they come to provoke the Song people? There are a lot of discussions in North Korea, Chinese and military. Some people think that the northerners dare to make trouble at this time and should be severely punished. Some old and prudent people think that our dynasty has repeatedly fought wars and conquered the north. At this time, it is time to cultivate and accumulate national strength. It's just that a certain poor tribe has no food in the early spring, and the whole family will starve to death. They have no choice but to carry out dangerous looting, and it should be resolved peacefully. Yang Hao seized this opportunity and asked to be sent to Khitan to resolve the dispute diplomatically.Zhao Kuangyin is planning to send the prince to attack the Northern Han after returning to Beijing. This is a peach that must be picked. Although it is expected that the Khitan is in civil strife and will not send troops to obstruct it, if this matter can be used to send envoys to appease the Khitan , obviously more appropriate, so he hit it off with Yang Hao and agreed immediately. After the court meeting, Zhao Kuangyin secretly summoned Yang Hao and gave them face-to-face instructions. The two talked for a long time. The next day, Zhao Kuangyin visited the tomb of his ancestors again and returned to Bianliang, while Yang Hao led a team to Khitan. As he was about to leave the customs, Yang Hao carried a letter of credence in his arms. This letter of credence was written by Zhao Kuangyin himself, but it was not drafted by him. It is also supported, and there is a bold saying in it: "Hedong rebelled against his fate, and he should be questioned. If the Northern Dynasty does not help, then the friendship will remain the same; otherwise, there will be only war ears!" Zhao Kuangyin is a real hero.For you, and for my own brother, I will take the risk to deal with that Jin Wang Qiantui.However, this matter is not something that can be plotted right now, I am going to Khitan as an envoy, so I will take back that hard-working Dong'er before we go. "Dong'er, Dong'er..." Yang Hao silently read her name, remembering all the things since the two met, his eyes gradually became moist, and caressing the letter of credence in his arms, Yang Hao secretly said in his heart: "Dong'er, my wife, I should bring it back. If Empress Xiao succeeds , then everything will stop. Otherwise, I will definitely make a big fuss in Beijing, disturbing you, making you a poor wife, and vowing not to look back!"
In the Luoyang palace, Zhao Kuangyin was wandering in the imperial garden. At this time, the winter snow was gone, the spring buds were beginning to sprout, and the icicles under the eaves were dripping with melted water. The atmosphere of early spring made people feel restless. Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a Ge-yellow casual gown, a cloth scarf of the same color on his forehead, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, wide mouth and thick eyebrows, walking like a warrior returning home after his official career. He was indeed ill, but it was just a minor ailment. With his strong body, it was not a problem at all. He was not in court for a few days. On the one hand, he was indeed in a bad mood, and on the other hand, he was thinking about his next plan. He moved the tiger away from the mountain and won over the Luoyang defenders, just as a habitual precautionary measure. In fact, he didn't believe that his second brother would be against him, and dared to be against him. From the very beginning, he wanted to use soft methods to resolve the dispute between brothers. this divergence.Unexpectedly, the second brother was not intimidated by the stance he put on, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were almost one-sidedly opposed to moving the capital. Had to put it on hold for now. He still has time and means, so why worry? Since the Anshi Rebellion more than 200 years ago, the Central Plains gradually began to fall, foreign races invaded, princes separatist, constantly changing dynasties, constantly fighting and plundering, but he, the son of a military officer born in Jiamaying, Luoyang, was born in the middle of nowhere. It only took more than ten years to reunify the Central Plains and establish a stable and powerful hegemony regime. He can do such a big thing, what else can't he do? He is not in a hurry, since the second brother still refuses to give up, he can use ten or twenty years to slowly wear down the ambition of the second brother.The second brother does not have the guts to oppose him, nor will he. The second brother just wants to create an unparalleled reputation in the court, forcing him to consider that once he chooses the prince to inherit the great rule, then after his death, the Song Dynasty will definitely The emergence of a dangerous situation where the master is weak and the minister is strong, forced him to include his brother in the selection target of Li Chu. It doesn't matter, isn't it just that the master is weak and the minister is strong?How can the second brother make it difficult for me? Zhao Kuangyin smiled bluntly, stopped in his tracks, and turned his eyes to the northwest sky... There was another kingdom there, a crumbling one. The Central Plains is already in his hands. Next, he will destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, regain the Sixteen States of Youyun, and reunify Kyushu in his lifetime.But the world has been set for the first time. Now Song needs to recuperate and gather strength before launching the Northern Expedition. He clearly realizes that the Khitan people are not so easy to deal with. They are far stronger than Shu, Han, Jing, Hu, and Tang. They are even stronger together, even stronger than the current Song State. The Northern Expedition cannot be completed overnight. In this case, we must plan before we move, otherwise, once we lose, it is likely to dampen the morale of Song State from now on, and the Northern Expedition will be even more difficult. Therefore, the Northern Han Kingdom, which took refuge in Khitan, could not move it until it decided to go to war with Khitan.But now the opportunity has come, the Khitan weak master ascended the throne, attracting careerists to appear on the stage one after another. After the secret fight, King Qing finally tore his face and launched a rebellion, which led to a major breakup among the Khitan clans.Now Yelu Xiezhen, the great king of the Southern Academy, has sent troops to raid their hometown. Although King Qing hastily retreated from the capital, his strength has not suffered too much loss. Wang dragged his feet and it was difficult to help.Without the support of the Khitan people, how could the Northern Han Dynasty be vulnerable, why not take this opportunity to take it down? Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "After returning to Beijing this time, let Dezhao personally lead the troops in the Northern Expedition, all the generals who are good at fighting in the court and China can be driven by him, and those generals who have not achieved military success in this Southern Expedition will respond one after another, and then Zhao Pu will be appointed as a counselor , with the army to assist in the war, and when the emperor's son returns after his achievements, he will have the merit of destroying the country as a prince; Guangyi is the king of Jin, and he will also have the merit of destroying the country. At that time, I will use my military exploits to let Zhao Pu return to the court. After this lesson, Zhao Pu should be able to restrain himself a bit. With him to check and balance my second brother, I will hand over many state affairs to Dezhao. With my support, three years to five years Years, ten or eight years later, is it still possible that Dezhao's prestige and power will not be higher than that of Guangyi? Guangyi, even if you are a towering tree, you have already grown to the end now, and Dezhao is just a branch that has just sprouted green in early spring. When you are neck and neck, by then, you Naturally you know how to stop, even if you don't want to stop, then you will be powerless, moisten things silently..."
Zhao Guangyi rode on the horse, and said in a dejected manner: "Leave while you are happy, and return when you are disappointed. Alas, I remember going to the Luo River with my elder brother when I was young. The scenery is infinite and beautiful. Looking at it now, why do I feel that I have no interest." Murong Qiuzui smiled and said: "Qiantui, now that the snow has just disappeared, and it's not yet the season of spring and flowers blooming, naturally there is nothing to see beside the Luo River." Zhao Guangyi shook his head and sighed: "At that time, the weather had just warmed up..." Murong Qiuzui smiled and said: "The taste of youth is naturally different from that of adulthood. Hehe, at that time Qiantui went to the Luohe River and wanted to break the ice to catch a fat fish. It was the greatest pleasure. It is not the case now, if this Going to the Luohe River, to be greeted by Luoshen, that would be the greatest joy, right?" Zhao Guangyi raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right. The fun of being a teenager is naturally very different from that of being an adult. Well... Luoshen... I heard when I was young that Concubine Mi of Luoshen was originally the daughter of Fuxi's family. , she settled on the bank of Luoshen, and was coveted by the Bo of the Yellow River, who took her into the water mansion and forced her to be his wife. At this time, his wife stole the elixir and returned to the Heavenly Palace. After defeating He Bo and saving her back to the human world, the two fell in love for a long time and became husband and wife, and the Heavenly Emperor made Hou Yi the God of Zongbu and Concubine Mi the God of Luo." Murong Qiuzui said: "That's right. Later, Cao Zijian had a crush on his sister-in-law Zhenshi. He also used the excuse that he met Concubine Mi of Luoshen by the Luoshui River, and wrote an article "Ode to Luoshen" to express his infatuation with Zhenshi. Also, graceful like a frightened bird, graceful like a wandering dragon, glorious with autumn chrysanthemums, and lush spring pine trees. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar...Looking at it from afar... ...far and..." Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Why, Mr. Murong can't remember the words? Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. When observing it by force, it is as bright as green waves coming out of a hibiscus. The slenderness is in harmony, and the shortness is in harmony. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as usual. The neck is stretched to show off the neck, and the quality is exposed. "My lord, it's not that I've forgotten my words. Look at that woman, she can be regarded as slender, short and well-fitting. If the shoulders are shaved, but the waist is as plain?" Zhao Guangyi flashed his eyes and saw a tall woman in white on the road ahead, with a plain belt around her waist. She walked gracefully and gracefully. The two people talked about each other, so the pace slowed down. When they walked in front of the woman in white, the two of them looked back at the same time, wanting to see if the woman's appearance was as amazing as her back. The woman was really beautiful, Zhao Guangyi only felt that the woman's peach blossom eyes were alluring, but before she could reveal her astonishing expression, the woman in white suddenly raised her cloud sleeves, the cold light flashed, and her figure jumped up, astonishing as quickly as lightning The sword stabbed at his throat. "Ah!" Murong Qiuzui exclaimed, his body was about to jump up when he moved, his heart suddenly flashed, and he paused again unconsciously, in this split second, the sword light reached Zhao Guangyi's throat, Zhao Guangyi got up on his back, With both legs out of the stirrups, he kicked hard on the horse's back, and his burly body avoided this dangerous and dangerous sword with great dexterity. The woman in white raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised at his skill. She stretched out her hand to press on the saddle, and came again with a sword, which still stabbed at his throat. Zhao Guangyi had just landed, and stepped back a few steps. The sleeves were rolled up and wrapped around the blade of the woman in white, only to hear a "squeak", the sleeves shattered like butterflies in the sky, and the sword in the woman's hand was also lifted into the air. Zhao Guangyi exhaled and let out a palm. He slapped the woman's puffy breasts fiercely, without any intention of pity. At this time, all the guards of the King of Jin rushed forward. As soon as Zhao Guangyi fought, he realized that this woman's swordsmanship was really not very good. Just now, her amazing sword was completely relying on her extremely fast body skills to pose a threat to him. So he shouted loudly: "Stand aside and wait for this king to capture her!" Zhao Guangyi flexed his fingers like a hook, he used to catch and grab, the white-clothed woman's swordsmanship was really bad, she could only rely on her incomparable body skills to fight and retreat, Murong Qiuzui dismounted slowly, his eyes flickered, looking at the two sides in the battle, suddenly Stretching out his hand, he took out the saber from under the ribs of a soldier, raised his hand, and shouted: "Qiantui, take the sword!" Zhao Guangyi took a step back, took the sword in his hand, suddenly there was a sound of wind and thunder, the sword in his hand was much stronger than the woman, the woman retreated quickly, Zhao Guangyi chased after him with the sword, the woman fought him several times He, the short sword in his hand was about to let go and fly away. Seeing that he was invincible, relying on his wonderful body skills, he wanted to get away and leave. Zhao Guangyi was not willing to let go, so he stopped her with a sword. Suddenly a person jumped out of the wall, also wearing women's clothes, but his face was covered with a cloth handkerchief, with a sword in his hand, flying like a fairy flying out of the sky. "Keng Keng Keng", the two swords met, and Zhao Guangyi was forced to retreat three steps in a row.Zhao Guangyi looked at the masked man in astonishment, he was amazed at the mastery of this man's swordsmanship, and also at the sword he used. Both of them used broadswords used in the army, which could be held with both hands and cut like knives and axes. hack. "Who are you?" Seeing that the opponent was using a military sword, Zhao Guangyi was startled and angry, and asked sharply. The man's face was covered with a veil, and a felt hat was pressed down on his head. The brim of the hat was lowered to his brows. He lowered his head slightly, and instead of looking at him, he grabbed the woman in white. Zhao Guangyi gave a loud shout , held the sword with both hands, and slashed at the man three times, but the man used the sword with one hand to defuse it with a very ingenious technique. Zhao Guangyi was not good at swordsmanship, so when he saw that the man's swordsmanship was obviously higher than his own, he suddenly let go Slashing away, he pulled away and snatched the tasseled spear from a guard. The gun pierces a line, and the stick hits a large area.However, if the tip of the stick is attached, it is a gun, and if the tip is removed from the gun, it is a stick. Therefore, the gun and the stick are connected.This spear was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, it was like a fierce tiger, sometimes with a spear, sometimes with a stick, as the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and this big gun was in Zhao Guangyi's hands, it was a bit difficult for him to use the sword. Zhao Guangyi pierced his spear like a wandering dragon, and swept his stick like a madman, displaying the skill of the spear and stick to the fullest, the man seemed to be dragging the white-clothed woman away, seeing Zhao Guangyi's powerful stick skills, unable to get away, he suddenly let go of the white-clothed woman, Fight back with a big sword in both hands. Zhao Guangyi sneered, swung his gun, and pointed it at the man's chest.The gun was afraid of shaking his head and the stick was afraid, and with a shake of the big gun, three Phoenix three nodded, the tip of the gun was shaken into a round and small circle, and suddenly pierced the man's throat and shoulders faster than lightning, Which shot is real and which shot is false is really unpredictable. He moved, buckled, and stabbed the spear, all three movements were done in one go. Who would have expected that man's swordsmanship to be superb, the epee in his hand made him extremely light, and he deciphered this sure-to-kill spear, and he made a backhand sword strike. Sticking to the handle of the gun, it came to his palm. The gun is like a swimming dragon, unpredictable, the gun shaft does not go straight, the sharp point of the gun pierces out, the gun shaft trembles, like a dragon snake winding forward, when the sword is cut, Zhao Guangyi shakes his wrist, knocks and collapses In the meantime, he flicked the sword away with the barrel of the gun, flipped the big gun, and pierced the handle of the gun towards the man's vagina, the man forced back his attack with a sword, and took advantage of the situation to pull the woman in white, shouting Saying: "Go!" They both jumped to the top of the wall. Zhao Guangyi fired his big gun, and like a flying dragon, he chased after the man. The man was in the air, swung his sword once, and borrowed the counter-shock of the gun to dodge behind the wall even faster. Zhao Guangyi's majestic prince naturally has no reason to chase madly in the street, he shouted: "Chasing! Chase me!" Those soldiers immediately rushed to the wall. "Thousands..." Murong Qiuzui stepped forward, Zhao Guangyi stopped him with a wave of his hand, looked around at many people who had gathered to watch the excitement, and said with a gloomy face, "Let's talk when we go back." He saddled and got on the horse, and the guards immediately surrounded him to protect him, and some people dispersed the people. Zhao Guangyi galloped forward, not far away, when he saw a sedan chair in front of him, and a person stood on the shaft, facing towards him. Looking from afar.When the man turned his head, he saw Zhao Guangyi galloping towards him, jumped off his horse and bowed his head, "Thousand years old." Zhao Guangyi saw that this person was Yang Hao. He was only in a sedan chair and had no guards to accompany him. He seemed to be coming back from a tour. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly reined in his horse and said, "Mr. ?” Yang Hao said: "Oh, I went to visit the White Horse Temple today. I just came back and saw a few soldiers from the palace rushing forward. I don't know..." Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked: "Just now, did you see two women hurrying past?" Yang Hao said: "I have indeed seen it, but... Although one of them is wearing women's clothes, his figure and gait look like a man. They walked very fast, and the officials were wondering, when they saw the soldiers of the palace coming, When I met Xiaguan, I also asked about their whereabouts, as soon as Xiaguan pointed out the direction, they hurriedly thanked them and chased after them, Chitose, but what happened, I wonder if Xiaguan can be useful?" Zhao Guangyi forced himself to smile and said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that two civilian girls collided with the king's ceremonial guard, and the guards made a big fuss. Let Yang Zuo go and get busy." He hurriedly avoided a step and gave way, when Zhao Guangyi and his party had gone far away, Yang Hao heaved a sigh of relief, he hurried back into the car, and as soon as he entered the car, he saw Young Master Ye and the woman in white sitting side by side. Yang Hao hurriedly put down the car curtain, and asked in a deep voice, "Bi Su, what are you doing?" It turned out that the woman in white was Bisu in disguise, and the assassination scene in the alley fell into the eyes of Yang Hao who just passed by here. Yang Hao recognized Bisu at a glance, and couldn't help being horrified. Being arrested, Yang Haoji thought about it in desperation. He ordered the car to move on, and hurriedly changed into Young Master Ye's female attire, covered his face with a cloth handkerchief, and took a large mouthful from the two trusted guards who accompanied him. Jian, ordered the two of them to go back alone, then rushed to rescue Bi Su and came back, before he had time to ask him why, after dismissing the officers and soldiers who were chasing him, he stood on the front of the car and acted. Hearing his question, Bi Su's blood ran through his pupils, and he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "I want... to kill Zhao Guangyi!"
"Chitose..." Zhao Guangyi turned around until Murong Qiu's eyes were dazzled, then Zhao Guangyi stopped and shook his head gently: "No, it won't be him, he won't send someone to kill me, no..." Murong Qiuzui's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked: "Does Qiantui know who appointed that assassin?" Zhao Guangyi glanced at him, his face became more gloomy, he pondered for a while, shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "You go and rest yourself. Ordinary people don't make troubles to report, so try to suppress this matter as much as possible." Come down, if someone really asks, it’s not appropriate to say anything about it.” "Yes, Murong is leaving." Murong Qiuzui gave him a deep look, and retreated with his hands folded. Zhao Guangyi sat down on the chair slumped, and murmured to himself: "That man wields a great sword in the army... Who would kill me? No, it won't be him, it won't be him, brother Even if you are annoyed that I want to covet the throne, and with the temperament of the eldest brother, you will not kill me. This fight is a contest of strength. Whoever can win the crown prince will be able to inherit the great treasure. The eldest brother and the supreme status, Absolutely will not resort to such indiscriminate means.” Thinking about it carefully, he wavered his judgment again: "But... Brother Huang, do you think that all the officials objected to moving the capital because they were bribed by me, so they are afraid?" He put his hands behind his back and walked up in the hall again, his face cloudy and uncertain: "I have returned from the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, and the momentum has been the same for a while. Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, and Tian Qinzuo are the forbidden troops who are willing to carry out our military orders to the letter. General, I gave them great compliments and made credit for them. The act of showing kindness and invitation was too obvious. They also reciprocated. They were quite close to me and walked closer. Cao Han plundered countless gold and silver, and even wanted to send me off. A generous gift, and now there are hundreds of officials and I agreeing to block the transfer of the capital, will my elder brother hear the news, treat me..., but...will he be so cruel and attack me because of this?" Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's usual behavior and his deep feelings for his brothers, Zhao Guangyi hesitated, and while he was meditating, someone whispered from the entrance of the hall: "Chitose, there are people in Beijing who have brought urgent news." Zhao Guangyi suddenly raised his head and ordered: "Let him come in." That person was a small official in Nan Yamen, and also Zhao Guangyi's confidant. When he saw Zhao Guangyi in the hall, he immediately saluted Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi asked, "What happened in the capital?" The man said: "Thousand years old, General Cao Han was assassinated at the Bianhe Wharf on the day he returned to Beijing." "what?" Zhao Guangyi was stunned when he heard this, and the man said again: "This matter has nothing to do with my Nanya, but Qiantui has ordered that if there is any trouble in the capital, no matter whether it has anything to do with my Nanya, you must report it to Qiantui." , so Judge Cheng ordered his subordinates to come forward and report." Zhao Guangyi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "When was General Cao Han assassinated?" The man reported: "Three days ago, because it was not an urgent matter involving our Nan Ya, and because the murderer was arrested everywhere, it might attract the attention of interested people, so the subordinate did not borrow the official post horse, and did not dare to disclose the identity of the Nan Ya. I only came here as a merchant, and I didn't dare to rush, so I just rushed to Luoyang today." Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed: "Three days? It's been three days. The dignified court officials were assassinated, and they should report to the officials the next day. Why doesn't Luoyang know anything about it?" The man was surprised and said: "What? Didn't Wei Wang Qiansui and the third younger brother of Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Yinhuang report this matter to the officials? This...subordinates don't know..." Wei Wang Dezhao and Zhao Guangmei really suppressed this matter, because the emperor's western tour was after the unification of the Central Plains, and he happily went to sacrifice his ancestors. At this time, he hastily reported that the minister of the court was assassinated and died. .Furthermore, it was the first time for the two of them to be in charge of staying in Bianliang, and immediately such a big case happened under their own control. No one knew who the murderer was, so how would they explain it to the officials?The two thought about catching the murderer as well. If they could catch the murderer before reporting to Zhao Kuangyin, they would look better. With this concern, they suppressed the matter for the time being as the state supervisor. The ghostly Zhao Guangyi became suspicious. Zhao Guangyi rolled his eyes a few times, and asked again: "How did General Cao get assassinated?" The man said: "On the day when General Cao escorted five hundred iron arhats back to Beijing, when they were at the Bianhe wharf, a scholar suddenly presented them with a calligraphy and painting..." The little official said it all over again, Zhao Guangyi asked him carefully, waved him back, and his expression became even more ugly.Among the generals, Cao Han is the closest to him now.Cao Han's demeanor-like style is very suitable for Zhao Guangyi's appetite. In the credit book, he also said the most kind words for Cao Han. Ten boats of treasures were carefully selected and presented to King Jin. Now that he is dead, the prison country did not make it public, and then he was assassinated. The murderer's tactics were similar, they were all disguised, and they were all close to him with excuses. They were all as light as a spirit ape, coming and going like the wind. Miracle? The assassination of a minister, a rare event in ten years, happened one after another in Tokyo and Xijing within three days, and there were so many relationships between the two assassins, and then thinking of the assassin who missed and hurriedly jumped out of a woman's clothes, it was a man with a man's figure Zhao Guangyi's heart sank when he used the great sword in the army: "Brother, in order to leave the throne to your son, do you really want to put your brother to death?"
In the mansion where Yang Hao lived temporarily, he listened to Bi Su's tearful recounting of the farewell and the tragic death of Miss Shuiyue, thinking of the little girl who could only smile at him softly, she died just like that, Yang Hao's heart felt like a needle Zha, Young Master Ye muttered at the side, wanting to persuade Bi Su a few words, but seeing his appearance, he was speechless. After Bisu finished speaking, he stood up with tears in his eyes and said: "Thank you for your kindness and virtue, Bisu will keep it in his heart, Bisu is an assassin, it is not appropriate to stay here to cause disaster for your lord, so I will leave here." Yang Hao said in a deep voice, "Where are you going?" Bi Su stood still, and said in a loud voice: "If you don't kill Zhao Guangyi, this thief, Bi Su is in vain. I will choose the opportunity to assassinate again!" Yang Hao said indifferently: "You are not his opponent. If you can't make a sneak attack once, it will be even harder to get another chance. Don't you want to ask me for help?" Bisu turned around slowly, bowed to him, and said slowly: "Assaulting and killing important officials of the royal family is a crime that will bring down the heavens. Bisu is alone, with no worries and cares. My lord has his own family and a bright future, and he has many brothers to rely on." You are planning a big event, how can Bi Su implicate the adults? Bi Su only hates that he did not listen to the words of the adults, and did not walk with Da Lang. Now that he is in such an innocent disaster, he can be rescued by the adults. He is grateful and cannot do it again Drag the adults into the water." Yang Hao walked towards him step by step, and said in a deep voice: "You and I met at the ferry in the past, and we both ran for their lives in the northwest. Have you forgotten how we depended on each other for our lives?" "On the grassland, Mr. Yang was devoured by a poisonous snake. His life was at stake. It was your snake medicine that saved his life. Have you forgotten?" "Since I arrived in Luzhou, whether I have been an official, a citizen, or a bandit, you have run around for me without a word of complaint. Have you forgotten?" "You forgot, but I didn't forget. I treat you like a brother. How can I treat you like a running dog? In this world, there is no shortage of King Jin. I, Yang Hao, don't want to lose you as a brother!" Bisu was moved with tears in his eyes, and tremblingly said: "No, your lord's plan is very big, how can you commit suicide for Bisu's own revenge, Bisu dare not agree, can't agree." Yang Hao walked up to him, put his hands on his shoulders, looked at him and said, "You are wrong, I know that your hatred is higher than the sky, but I didn't want to take revenge with you immediately. His martial arts... ...It was really beyond my expectation. The sword I used today is not in my hand, but his spear is not a weapon he is good at. Judging from the situation in which I fought just now, if I fight alone, with my current martial arts, there is nothing I can do. He, what's more, after this incident, his guards must be strict. Even if we succeed, it will be difficult to retreat. I will help you deal with your enemies, but I don't mean to take our lives. Gentleman revenge , ten years is not too late, if you want to succeed with one blow, you have to be able to wait now." Bi Su nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "I can wait, I'll be poor all my life, what I have is patience!" Yang Hao smiled and said: "That's it. You must not show your face now, and stay here in hiding. After a few days, the wind subsides, and I will send you away." He turned his head to look at a corner of the sky outside the hall, and said softly: "This world has changed a lot, but many things have not changed, even in the vicissitudes of life, people's hearts, human nature, desires... these things have not changed, some people's choices are It won't change, as long as his choice doesn't change, his actions may not be untraceable. I promise you, I will definitely find the most appropriate opportunity for you to kill your enemy!"
Zhao Kuangyin is about to drive back to Beijing. He walked slowly in the old residence, looking at the unchanged eaves, the wall he had climbed, and the neighbor's jujube tree that had stolen the jujube. The past is still vivid in his memory, but he has changed from a man who walked out of the house with a stick to travel the world alone, to the Nine-Five Supreme, the owner of the Central Plains.Surrounded by countless ministers, he is at the top of the world, but he feels infinitely lonely in his heart. Standing in a back alley, thinking for a while, Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "I remember, when I was a child, I once got a little stone horse. I loved it more than a treasure, and it was often stolen by my playmates, so I buried it here. I don't know how it is now." still there?" Immediately, a big man from the Forbidden Army stepped forward and dug a big hole near the place he pointed out. As expected, he found a small stone horse. Zhao Kuangyin took it in his hand, and caressed it gently , with an infinitely warm radiance on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go, let's go..." The carts were rolling, the horses were rustling, and the team once again went to his parents' grave to bid farewell to the two elders. After weeping and sacrificing his parents, Zhao Kuangyin climbed to the turret of the cemetery and looked around. He saw the mountains of Shaoshi and Taishi in the south; Qinglong and Shiren peaks in the east; "What a wonderful place, even if Guanzhong is closed, at least I should choose this place to be my imperial capital. Here, I will not give up!" He suddenly called a guard of the forbidden army, took his strong bow, took an arrow, and shot a sword in the northwest direction, and said in a vibrating voice: "The place where the arrow stops is my imperial hall. After my thousand years, Be buried here!" He took out the little stone horse and asked someone to bury it at the place where the arrow fell as a mark. Immediately, a trusted general took over the stone horse and led more than a hundred guards to gallop away, looking for the arrow that fell. Zhao Kuangyin took another look at the green mountains and green waters, and said, "Let's go back to Beijing!" At this time, Yang Hao was on his way to the north, leading 1,800 forbidden troops, ostentatiously heading north, heading straight for Shangjing. Yesterday at the court meeting, Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi suddenly claimed to be ill, and he will go to court in the future.This is a trivial matter. In the early spring, people tend to get sick easily. These days, there are quite a few minor illnesses among the Chinese, Chinese and military ministers, and no one takes it to heart. At first I thought that today's court meeting was nothing important, but just as the routine was about to end, I suddenly received an urgent report from the military. Go, there is a big battle between the two sides, and each has casualties. All the officials were in an uproar when they heard this, and Yang Hao was also very surprised. He was about to arrange for people to create friction outside Yanmen Pass and create opportunities for himself to go to Khitan as an envoy, but the news about Young Master Ye had not been passed on, so it was impossible for his people to do it. of.In the current situation in the Northern Kingdom, if the Song Dynasty interferes, will they come to provoke the Song people? There are a lot of discussions in North Korea, Chinese and military. Some people think that the northerners dare to make trouble at this time and should be severely punished. Some old and prudent people think that our dynasty has repeatedly fought wars and conquered the north. At this time, it is time to cultivate and accumulate national strength. It's just that a certain poor tribe has no food in the early spring, and the whole family will starve to death. They have no choice but to carry out dangerous looting, and it should be resolved peacefully. Yang Hao seized this opportunity and asked to be sent to Khitan to resolve the dispute diplomatically.Zhao Kuangyin is planning to send the prince to attack the Northern Han after returning to Beijing. This is a peach that must be picked. Although it is expected that the Khitan is in civil strife and will not send troops to obstruct it, if this matter can be used to send envoys to appease the Khitan , obviously more appropriate, so he hit it off with Yang Hao and agreed immediately. After the court meeting, Zhao Kuangyin secretly summoned Yang Hao and gave them face-to-face instructions. The two talked for a long time. The next day, Zhao Kuangyin visited the tomb of his ancestors again and returned to Bianliang, while Yang Hao led a team to Khitan. As he was about to leave the customs, Yang Hao carried a letter of credence in his arms. This letter of credence was written by Zhao Kuangyin himself, but it was not drafted by him. It is also supported, and there is a bold saying in it: "Hedong rebelled against his fate, and he should be questioned. If the Northern Dynasty does not help, then the friendship will remain the same; otherwise, there will be only war ears!" Zhao Kuangyin is a real hero.For you, and for my own brother, I will take the risk to deal with that Jin Wang Qiantui.However, this matter is not something that can be plotted right now, I am going to Khitan as an envoy, so I will take back that hard-working Dong'er before we go. "Dong'er, Dong'er..." Yang Hao silently read her name, remembering all the things since the two met, his eyes gradually became moist, and caressing the letter of credence in his arms, Yang Hao secretly said in his heart: "Dong'er, my wife, I should bring it back. If Empress Xiao succeeds , then everything will stop. Otherwise, I will definitely make a big fuss in Beijing, disturbing you, making you a poor wife, and vowing not to look back!"
