Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Killing the Tiger

Recently, visitors to Li Yu's palace often came in the middle of the night, and they really responded to the sentence: night owls come into the house, and they come for nothing. If they come to cry and mourn, they will not bring any good news. A little bit of wind and grass will wake you up, and once you wake up, it will be difficult to fall asleep again, which makes the palace extremely tense. Once Li Yu falls asleep, he dare not even make a noise as loud as a mosquito humming. The smell of Anshenxiang came out of the bedroom with a sweet snoring sound, the servants all let out a long breath, and made a light gesture to the palace servants, and they all tiptoed to the outside of the hall and exited the bedroom It was so far away that the servant knew it and said in a soft voice: "Oh, these days, it's really hard for everyone, it's rare for everyone to sleep peacefully today, please be smart, don't make any mistakes. Come on, if anyone disturbs everyone, the miscellaneous family will beat him up."

Since the Five Dynasties, the king of a country has been called an official family by those close to him, but Jiangnan is different. Li Jing, Li Yu's father, was the master of the country. The lord, from that time onwards, in the Tang Palace, the lord was not called an official, but everyone. Although the title of emperor was restored later, this title has not changed. Now Li Yu has become the lord again, but it is saved to change the title. thing. The palace servants next to me promised repeatedly, and the servants all yawned and said: "Oh, I have been tossing around for the past few days, and the old arms and legs of the miscellaneous family can't take it anymore. I have to go back and rest. You take good care of everyone. Be smart, even a bird from the old family can't get close to the emperor, do you hear me?"

Everyone quickly agreed, and Lao Duzhi tremblingly walked towards his residence, just after taking a few steps, a black figure in front of him ran quickly, couldn't stand for a while, and Lao Duzhi bumped into his arms, Lao Duzhi He fell to the ground with a "boom", and yelled strangely in anger, "little..." He suddenly realized that he was afraid of waking up Li Yu, so he quickly said in a soft voice: "Little bastard, don't you have eyes? You dare to run like this in the palace. You don't know the rules if the miscellaneous family doesn't teach you a lesson."

A few servants ran over to help him up hurriedly, and the staggering little yellow door saw that he had bumped into an old man, and hurriedly said in panic: "I know forgive the crime, the little one is because of his fault." Urgently report to the lord of the country, and run away in a hurry, you know not to blame." The old man knew that he was even more furious when he heard that he reported the matter to the lord of the country, and scolded: "Bastard, everyone finally slept peacefully, and you still want to disturb everyone? Tell you, even if the sky falls today, you can't sleep." We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning."

The little yellow door squeaked and said: "But... But this man is a spy sent back from Kaifeng by the Duke of Chu, and he said that he has a very urgent matter to report to the lord." "King Zheng...ah no, the Duke of Chu came back from the Shan sect? Has the Duke of Chu got any news?" The old man is both surprised and happy. He knows that Li Yu and his brothers have always been deeply affectionate. Since Li Congshan was placed under house arrest in Kaifeng, the ruler of the country is often unhappy, and other things can wait, but this matter cannot be delayed anyway. .

The old man hesitated for a while in a dilemma, then stamped his foot and said: "Forget it, if the Duke of Chu sends someone, there is no delay, you come with me." After finishing speaking, the old man limped and flew into Li Yu's bedroom like a sparrow from his hometown...
After a while, the lights in the bedroom were turned on, and then the two palace lanterns led Li Yu, who was wearing a purple robe and full of excitement, hurried to Qingliang Hall. The bright moon was in the sky, and the Qingliang Hall was cold and cold. Li Yu sat behind the Yushu table, his face was pale and blue, and he looked really scary.What Li Congshan sent is not good news, no, it should be a good idea, luckily...

Li Yu rejoiced secretly, gnashing his teeth and cursing: "Lin Huzi, Lin Huzi, Gu... Gu treats you well, but you are so ambitious." As soon as he patted the book table, he stood up abruptly, and said with a sneer: "No wonder when Song Guobing sent troops to southern Fujian, he repeatedly encouraged him to send troops to attack Song. Hey! It turns out that he had such a good idea, and wanted to lead my 100,000 troops to join Song Guo Gu thought he was a loyal minister, and was almost kept in the dark by him." Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the generals who have never been tired of rebellion have used the same routine. The first step: find a reason to send troops to fight against foreign enemies; Take a step, stop halfway, clear the army of generals who are not in the same heart as him, and then change the flag, or fight back.

Now that the news of Lin Renzhao's surrender to the Song Dynasty was sent by Li Congshan, why didn't Li Yu believe it?Even Lin Renzhao once offered a plan: the lord can pretend not to know, and the ministers send troops to attack the Song Dynasty.They were all regarded as sinister by Li Yu. Li Yu was startled and frightened, cursing for a while, and suddenly remembered the words of the little master at Jiming Temple: "In ten days, we will see the result!" Li Yu was startled, and sighed: "Little master is really a man of gods, and his words are indeed a prophecy. If Gu hastily made an alliance with the Khitan people, then the imperial driver will lead Lin Renzhao to attack the Song Dynasty. If you want to be confused, you will do it." He is the ghost under the knife."

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Come here, hurry up and order Huangfu Jixun to enter the palace." Huangfu Jixun had caused the envoys of Song and Khitan to make trouble these days, and he didn't get a good night's sleep. Now he was on his way back home. He had just bathed and changed, and he climbed into bed comfortably. The two concubines were as gentle as water, and the two Shuangfen punched his thighs. General Huangfu just felt a little sleepy, and was about to embrace the beauty to sleep on the same bed, so Li Yu sent an urgent order into the palace.

As soon as Lin Renzhao was about to make a move, the lord of the country asked him to lead his troops to Zhenhai to ask for his replacement. Huangfu Jixun was shocked and became timid immediately.Don't look at how fierce he was in fighting Lin Renzhao, but at that time he was a minister in the same palace. With Li Yu backing him up, was he afraid that Lin Huzi would eat him? But this general Huangfu is an expert in internal fighting, but an outsider in external fighting. Now that he wants to tear his face and compete for real kung fu, Huangfu Jixun is still a little self-aware.Who is Lin Renzhao?He was the number one fierce general in the Tang Kingdom, famous for his bravery and strength. Thinking back to the time when Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world and was invincible, even the Khitan cavalry were defeated by him.With such a fierce man, Lin Huzi dared to lead only four people to charge against the ten thousand arrow formation against the wind, burn the wooden bridge, and block Chai Rong's army from going south.How majestic is that?If he really turned his back on him and asked him to lead an army to attack Lin Renzhao, wouldn't that be a meat bun beating a dog?

Seeing that Huangfu Jixun hesitated, Li Yu couldn't help but suddenly changed his face, and said angrily: "My father and son are my tiger generals in the Tang Dynasty. Is it?" Huangfu Baozi rolled his eyes and said hastily: "The lord of the country has misunderstood that he is a minister. The minister is thinking that if we send troops to go, we will surely scare the snakes. After a big battle, even if we kill Lin Renzhao, our Tang Kingdom will suffer heavy losses. Duke Chu Secretly sent someone to send back the news, Lin Renzhao still doesn't know that his trick has been leaked, why don't we plan to kill him, so that Zhenhai's 100,000 sailors can get back unscathed." Li Yu was angry just now, and only wanted to use the king's teacher to destroy the traitors. Hearing Huangfu Jixun's words at this moment, he couldn't help but suddenly realized. Lin Renzhao, governor of Zhenhai, will return to Beijing immediately without delay!"
"Even if the State of Song didn't seek trouble with the Khitan, now that the Khitan envoys have been killed and the entire Khitan post has been destroyed, with the arrogance of the Khitan people, they will certainly not let it go. However, there are also internal worries in the Khitan. Then the battle is over, neither side will throw heavy troops hastily, such a battle will not hurt the muscles and bones. The role of the Jiangnan King is very important at this time, and now he hastily ordered General Lin Huzi to come back, could it be that he has already Have you made a decision?" Zhe Ziyu walked all the way, thinking carefully all the way: "Lin Huzi is a general who insists on fighting against Song Dynasty. Li Yu transferred him back. It should be to unite Khitan to fight against Song. If the Tang Kingdom helps, the Khitan Emperor may not be able to fight against Song Dynasty. Let go and fight a big fight, so that each of the three countries will suffer losses, and the imperial court will not be able to use troops against our northwest for at least ten years, so the only way to appease us is, will it be like this?" She suddenly remembered what Yang Hao had said to her, and she couldn't help feeling sour: "I also know that you really learned some exquisite divination techniques from a famous teacher. Even if there is a secret in the world, how can it be so easy to see through it? I will use troops against the Tang Kingdom within two years, and the Tang Kingdom will be destroyed. Tell me not to go against the sky. Now that the will is dark and the flowers are bright, if you were in front of me, would you still say that?" Just when she thought of this, suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came rushing forward, there were 2000 officers and soldiers in this group, they charged so mightily that the people on the street ran away in a panic, jumping wildly for a while.Zhe Ziyu hurried to the stone steps of the roadside inn, and saw a commanding officer holding a spear, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, if you leave the Lin family alone, General Huangfu will punish you. All cheer me up." "Who is Huangfu Jixun going to harm again? Alas! Li Yu has no ambitions, indulges in sensuality, and the government is corrupt. He also favors a dude like Huangfu Jixun, and entrusts him with a heavy responsibility. Fortunately, there is still such a loyal person as Lin Huzi." If the scholar assists him, otherwise he will not be able to survive now, this person has no choice but to be a romantic talent who sings the wind and the moon, sleeps flowers and sleeps, and being the king of a country is really harming others and himself." Zhe Ziyu was slandering Li Yu, and an ominous feeling suddenly came to his heart: "No! Huangfu Jixun is the commander of the Divine Guard Army, and he is in charge of the safety of Jinling. If there is any major case, do you need to send out his troops? What kind of people will be captured before the army will be used. The Lin family, which Lin family? The front is..." The more Zhe Ziyu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he no longer cared about shocking the world. As soon as he lifted his skirt, he ran wildly on the street.After crossing the "Red Sleeve Trick" and turning into the alley ahead, Zhe Ziyu stopped abruptly as soon as he entered the alley.I saw soldiers standing in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion was surrounded, the gate was open, and many soldiers rushed in with guns and knives drawn. Zhe Ziyu immediately dodged to avoid a roadside restaurant, hid in the crowd and watched the scene before him in horror.The drinkers next to her were all talking about it, but they were as clueless as she was.The Lin family's mansion is really not small, those soldiers rushed into the mansion, and soon there were screams in the mansion. At this moment, I saw a man dressed as a servant in short clothes rushing towards him. Zhe Ziyu recognized him at a glance as the person serving Lin Huzi. He had been in and out of Zhenhai several times, and he had seen him beside Lin Huzi. The waiter immediately stepped out of the tavern. The man was rushing towards the Lin Mansion, when a person suddenly appeared beside him, grabbed his wrist, and the man was about to punch him, but he couldn't help being startled when he saw Zhe Ziyu's appearance clearly.Zhe Ziyu grabbed his wrist, without turning his head, he said in a low voice, "Follow me!" The man turned his head and saw the appearance in front of the Lin residence. He knew that the situation was over, so he didn't struggle. He obediently followed Zhe Ziyu into a secluded alley beside him. Zhe Ziyu hurriedly asked, "What happened to General Lin? Why did you raid his house? " When Zhe Ziyu asked, the loyal servant had tears in his eyes and fell down crying: "Girl, my general... my general has already gone..." Zhe Ziyu lost his voice: "How could it be? General Lin was ordered back to Jinling just today, why did he die?" The loyal servant wept and said: "The villain is waiting for the general outside the gate of the palace with a carriage. It is said that the lord of the country is finally cheering up now. He wants to repair the army and manage the state affairs. In order to protect the territory of the 19 prefectures and millions of people in the east of the Yangtze River, he has fought against Song to the end. The lord of the country even gave him wine. It came in handy. The villain was very happy to hear that, and quickly put down the footstool, and was about to wait for the general to board the car, when the general stopped suddenly, saying that his stomach was in pain. The villain was terrified, and was about to help the general into the car and go to find When the doctors made a diagnosis and treatment, the general suddenly vomited blood, and the blood stains were black." Zhe Ziyu suddenly changed color: "General Lin has been poisoned?" The loyal servant cried and said: "Exactly, Huangfu Jixun and a group of warriors in the palace were hidden in the palace gate. They were afraid of my general's bravery and did not dare to show up. People rushed out in a swarm, and the Lord Xuan ordered him to say that our general tried to conspire against him, and he should be punished according to the crime." Zhe Ziyu tremblingly said: "How could this be? What happened to General Lin?" The loyal servant said: "The general was inexplicably sad and indignant. With a struggle, he broke free from the support of the villain, opened his eyes wide, and rushed towards Huangfu Jixun. Huangfu Jixun was so frightened under the layers of guards that he just dodged. The general took a step forward." As soon as he vomited blood, when he walked to the palace gate, countless armored soldiers rushed out and blocked the palace gate. The general looked at the palace gate three times, stood up and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Lin Huzi will die tonight under the small slander, and I wish I could die in the battlefield and die for the country." .' The general shouted three times, he was out of breath, but he still could not fall down.Huangfu Jixun sent people around him, but for a moment he still didn't dare to bully him, the villain suddenly came to his senses, and rushed back to report the news, taking advantage of their lack of time to take care of him, he didn't even dare to take the car, the villain fled On the imperial street, I mixed with the crowd and rushed back, but...but the mansion..." Zhe Ziyu was silent for a while, then said with tears in his eyes, "You don't have to go back, now...it's too late." When the loyal servant heard this, he cried loudly: "Huangfu Jixun is a traitor, the villain risked his life to avenge the general!" Zhe Ziyu grabbed him, looked around, took out more than a dozen gold leaves from his pocket, and stuffed two priceless fixed beads into his hands, and said, "Huangfu Jixun is guilty of being a thief. How can I honor your closeness? Don't cry, General Lin seeks benevolence and benevolence, and the name of loyalty will not be concealed by the faint king and slander. Here is some money, you can take it. Although Huangfu Jixun is cruel, he dare not kill women and children Child, after the news subsides, go pick up the women and children of the Lin family, so that you can take care of General Lin's wives and concubines." The man wept unceasingly, Zhe Ziyu persuaded him for a long time, then the man took the belongings and bowed to Zhe Ziyu three times, and according to her instructions, he hid himself in a hiding place for the time being, and after the court's punishment, he took back the women and children of the Lin family and took care of them all the year round. At this time, more soldiers came near Lin's mansion, and after a while, they began to search around the streets and alleys. Some of them were still holding the portrait of Zhe Ziyu. This is different from the past, Lin Renzhao is dead, and Huangfu Jixun beat him up. At the idea of ​​the charming "niece", Zhe Ziyu didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he ran away immediately. On the bank of Mochou Lake, Zhe Ziyu, who had changed his appearance a little, stood quietly under the tree by the lake, staring at the remnants of the lotus and broken stems in the lake, dazed: Lin Huzi is dead. Before the formation of the two armies, Li Yu died under a glass of poisoned wine.What's ridiculous is that Li Yu kept saying that he wanted to plot rebellion, but he lured him back to Jinling, but he didn't dare to hand him over to Yousi. He was sentenced to death, and even a glass of poisoned wine was secretly tricked into drinking him. For the king of a country? Zhe Ziyu heaved a sigh of relief, feeling at a loss.I thought that the willows were dark and the flowers were bright, but I didn't expect the turn of events. Although Huangfu Jixun was a young man, he was a real rat, and only Li Yu regarded him as a living treasure.Although he hated Lin Renzhao, he never had the guts to frame and kill him on the charge of treason. Lin Renzhao was the number one general in the Tang Kingdom, and the only one who couldn't wait for him to die was the Song Kingdom.If the state of Song framed and killed Lin Renzhao, could it be that... he was really going to use troops against the state of Tang, and that's why he removed the biggest obstacle first? If Li Yu poisoned Lin Renzhao, would he still fight Song Yi?With Lin Renzhao dead, who else in the Tang Kingdom can take on this important task? A gust of wind blows, a gust of depression, and the residual lotus and withered calyx on the water sway for a while.Zhe Ziyu stood by the lake, his cuffs were fragrant and cold, and his heart was more bitter than a lotus heart: I struggled and worked hard, but in the end I only ended up like this. Brother Hao, is it really as you said, destiny is hard to break? Gradually clenched her fists, clenched her teeth, and said inwardly, "No, I'll wait, wait for the Song army who will defeat Tang, and wait to see if the generals who defeated Tang are Pan Mei and Cao Bin. It won't be until the end For a moment, I will never give up, never give up!"
To the west of Mochou Lake is the Qinhuai River.The Qinhuai Inland River is the most prosperous place in Stone City. However, here, most of the people who live along the banks of the Qinhuai River are boat people and servants. Most of the poor people who are rascals and have no livelihood live here. There is a Wuyi Lane in Jinling City, which is the place where dignitaries live, but this place is called Wuni Lane. Although the difference is only one word, the environment is very different, garbage and filth are everywhere, and when it rains heavily , they were all floated up by the rain and flowed around. In such a place, people with a little money in their pockets would not live here, but Yang Hao and his party are hiding in this absolutely impossible slum at the moment. In his plan, once he died, Tang Guo would try his best to find the murderer, so he had to hide for a while, and only sneaked west when the weather calmed down.However, things were beyond his expectation. He "died", and the murderer couldn't wait to reveal his identity, and then the murderer also died. Now that the four cities are sealed off, it is impossible to catch the murderer. Yang Hao waited for a few more days, and when he saw that the weather was calm, he disguised himself and went to the street to see the scenery. He was going to leave early the next morning to go west. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the street, he saw groups of officers and soldiers rampaging. After inquiring, he found out that Lin Renzhao, the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, tried to rebel, but was ordered back and killed by Li Yuzhao. Huangfu Jixun copied Lin's mansion by order, and now he is sealing off the whole city to catch the fish that slipped through the net. Yang Hao was shocked. He didn't expect that Lin Renzhao's portrait would be sent back. Song Guo's side moved so quickly, and Li Yu rushed to cooperate with Song Guo to remove his pillars so quickly.The former and middle masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a generation of heroes, but no matter how great the ancestors are, if they meet a descendant who can't support them, their fate will be over.However, Li Yu's self-destruction of the pillars is his own fault. What about Zhe Ziyu who is in the Lin family? Yang Hao was worried, so he ventured to the vicinity of Lin's mansion to inquire about her news.Most of the Lin family were arrested, but a young son, a concubine and Zhe Ziyu escaped.The concubine took Lin Renzhao's youngest son, Ben, to the temple to offer incense. On the way back, she was shocked to hear that Lin's residence had been raided, so she ran away immediately.Huangfu Jixun didn't care if he ran away with a concubine or a young child, but he was very unwilling to catch Mo Yiming. Now the Lin family has become a prisoner. Miss Mo, who dared to offend, could let him get whatever he wanted at this time, how could she escape. Huangfu Jixun launched a ruthless attack, sealed off the whole city, and decided to arrest her. Yang Hao sneaked into the vicinity of Lin's mansion, and met some Tang soldiers, who stopped him, holding a portrait of Zhe Ziyu and asked him if he had seen her before. over this person.Only then did Yang Hao realize that Zhe Ziyu had escaped, and he was relieved immediately.With Zhe Ziyu's vigilance and martial arts, as long as he is not caught, even if Huangfu Jixun digs three feet deep, he will never be able to find this woman who is more cunning than a fox.Now he is in a precarious situation, although they are hiding secrets, but after all, there are too many people, in order to prevent the fish in the pond, after Yang Hao fudged those Tang soldiers, he immediately rushed back to Wuni Lane in the west of Qinhuai River. Yang Hao hunched over, with a beard sticking to his jaw, and walked into Wuni Lane with a walking stick, looking around all the way, vigilantly watching the pedestrians on the left and right, and was about to turn to his hiding place. Yingzheng was standing at the entrance of a branch alley, and only looked at the backs of those two people, Yang Hao's heart was shocked. One of them should look like the rogue in this alley from the looks of his clothes, while the other, although he only glanced at his back, is extremely familiar. Although that person is dressed in men's clothes, his back is very similar to Ding Yuluo in his memory .On the way he was transporting grain to Guangyuan, Ding Yuluo was dressed in men's clothes. The back of this person was very similar to her. The poppi pointed to the alley and said something, nodded to the man with Ding Yuluo's very cool back, and followed him into the alley.Yang Hao shook his head and smiled: "It must be a mistake, how could she come to Nantang, and what is she doing in such a place?" Staying here for the past two days, Yang Hao hasn't contacted Bi Su yet, and didn't know that Ding Yuluo had really arrived in Jinling City. He bent slightly, and took a few steps forward, but stopped hesitantly: " I can see Ziyu in Li Yu Palace, who can never appear there, so can't I see Yuluo here? There are a lot of rascals here who kill people and kidnap women. If he... really It's her, if they have evil intentions..." The more Yang Hao thought about it, the more worried he became. If he didn't find out the identity of that person, he couldn't rest assured, so he turned his foot and walked towards the alley where they disappeared...
