Chapter 138: Escape

When Qianyang City was built, a secret passage was left underground, leading directly to Yunze Lake outside the city. The terrain of this lake is peculiar www.biquge.info the clouds and mist do not disperse all year round, and fishermen only dare to fish by the lake. It is said that once inside, you can't discern the direction in the fog, and you can't survive nine deaths, and even the water bandits don't dare to entrench here.

However, the king of Qianyang sent dead soldiers into Yunze Lake to investigate the situation, and finally opened a secret channel in the lake. He also secretly prepared a boat, which could pass through Yunze Lake, turn into the densely woven river channel in the south of the Yangtze River, sail to the mouth of the sea, and then flee overseas.

It is precisely because of this retreat that the King of Qianyang is more fearless. From Hosokawa Fuyuko, the King of Qianyang learned about the route to Toei and a lot of information, and the worst plan was to flee to Toei. It's just that he didn't expect it to come out so quickly!

After agreeing on the followers and routes of the escape of the King of Qianyang, Master Lin said: "Lord Wang, Chun Yujun is eyeing the city outside, but he has not done it for a long time. I think we are still waiting for the emperor's decree, we still have time. The subordinates suggested that they stay for two more days to pack up the gold and silver, grain, grass, armor, etc., and now that the war is raging, they need the strength to protect themselves. ”

The King of Qianyang looked hesitant, he didn't want to stay in this city for a moment now. The sooner you get out, the sooner you will be safe.

Master Lin said again: "The prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, but his luck is not good. Brought to Dongying, there are soldiers and food, and it is natural for one side to become the head of the family. If you see the right time to attack, you are expected to dominate the East. ”

"Unify Dongying?" said something that made King Qianyang's blood boil. That's right, if you have no place in the Gaomang Dynasty, it doesn't mean that you are in the same situation in Dongying.

Listening to Nahosokawa Fuyuko, the Toei Kingdom is currently in frequent wars, and the daimyo are fighting each other. If there are two cities and 10,000 or 20,000 people, it can be called a force and compete for the world. I have a lot of soldiers and a wide range of generals, and my weapons are excellent, so why worry about it?

The fire that had been extinguished in his eyes burned brightly, and he said, "Okay! I will give you two more days, and you must plan well, and be sure to bring all the capital of this king's struggle for hegemony." ”

Master Lin bowed his head respectfully, but he hid a trace of pity in his eyes.

The capital, inside the Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qinglong received the news from the Shadow Guard Wind Group and the Rain Group with flying pigeons, and they all said the same thing: "After investigation, it has been verified that the Dongying Assassin is the mastermind behind the King of Qianyang. "Detailed tantric music and evidence are still on the way, but the fact is unequivocal.

Long before the shadow guard set off, Emperor Qinglong had a vague guess in his heart. At this moment, it is just a confirmation, but there is no shock and disappointment of the day, and some are just the decisiveness of the emperor.

The decision was made quickly, and no longer waiting for the final evidence. Instructed Wu Guangqi to draw up a decree, with an expedited speed of 800 miles, to pass the decree to Chun Yujun, degraded the king of Qianyang as a commoner, and ordered him to immediately capture the city of Qianyang, arrest the entire family of the abolished king of Qianyang, and escort them back to Beijing to await trial.

This will is still on the way, and Gangnam Province is like a powder keg at the moment, which will explode at one point.

However, in the Qingzhu Garden, there was a good news.

Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed after listening to Xu Le'an's report. Hurried to the upper room and said to Mrs. Xu, "Grandmother, good news." ”

She has always been calm and self-controlled, it is rare to see such a happy face, Mrs. Xu guessed: "But there is news from the princess?"

Xu Wanzhen nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Grandmother is really Sai Zhuge , one guess is accurate." There's a reply from the princess's mansion, and I'll be there tomorrow morning. ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was also happy. This is a major matter related to Xu Changzong's case, and the breakthrough is very likely to be here with Princess Zhaoyang, and he instructed: "Check the gift carefully again, and treat the princess without being humble or arrogant." ”

Treating Princess Zhaoyang is the same as giving a gift, it must be neither heavy nor light, but it is good to have something new. It's heavy, it seems that people must ask for something, so that the princess has a sense of vigilance, and if it's light, it seems that the Xu family doesn't respect the princess enough. If it is too modest, it will appear insincere. So, gift-giving is really a big deal.

The grandfather and grandson sorted out the gift list again, and Mrs. Xu remembered something and said, "By the way, when you were in Suzhou, the set of quill pens you made can be added to the list." ”

Xu Wanzhen hesitated: "I have thought about it, but although the quill pen is novel, it is of low value." I always thought it would be a bit rude? I hesitated a few times, and then I didn't put it in. ”

"No," Old Madam Xu affirmed, "Princess Zhaoyang is sixteen years old, and this kind of novel object should attract her attention." Also, there are other gifts on the gift list. ”

"Okay, grandmother, I'll add that. ”

Old Madam Xu thought for a moment to see if there were any other omissions, this time to meet the princess must be cautious, be sure to let Xu Wanzhen leave a good impression on the princess, and strive for the second chance to meet, said: "This time when you go out, in order to avoid accidents, you bring Han Yi with you." ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded, and the two agreed on some details of the visit.

Outside the door, Mrs. Wu came to invite in person and said, "Old lady, old lady, please come over for a mile!"

"Oh?"

Xu Wanzhen bloomed with a confident smile and said, "Grandmother, you go and get busy first, and I will arrange the rest by myself, please rest assured." ”

When Mrs. Xu arrived at the "Songtao Courtyard", she saw Mrs. Tu holding a letter, thought for a while, and said, "Father, but there is a reply from the third cousin?"

Old lady Tu nodded and said with a smile: "Good guess." ”

Seeing his relaxed expression, Mrs. Xu smiled and asked, "But agreed?"

Old lady Tu twisted her beard, handed her the letter, and said, "They have already left, Mengzhou is not far away, and it is estimated that it will be there in another twenty days, what are your plans?"

Mrs. Xu took the letter and quickly skimmed it, and the letter was written by the third cousin himself.

The third cousin and his wife are of high seniority and young age in the Tu family, and they are just over forty now. The family is medium-sized, with more than 100 acres of paddy fields and a rice noodle workshop. But because he has no children under his knees, there is no one to inherit the family business. I thought that after my only daughter got married, she would be able to raise one of her grandsons and inherit the heir. But after her daughter got married, she gave birth to a son, and the rest were daughters.

Therefore, the third cousin's request is very simple, it is no problem to recognize Han Runiang as the youngest daughter, but the son she will have in the future needs to raise one to return to the Tu family, inherit the family business, and give them a pension to the end.

Old Madam Xu pondered for a moment, for the He family, it doesn't matter if a concubine has a son, and the second son of He already has a son-in-law. But this matter still needs to be asked about the second son of He, and he can't make his own decisions. said: "I need to ask Second Prince He about this matter, and then I will take care of it." ”

"Well, it's a matter of offspring, and you need to be cautious. Old lady Tu agreed.

Back in Qingzhuyuan, Mrs. Xu wrote a letter to the second son of He, and attached the letter from the third cousin to her and put it in an envelope together. This letter is very important, with the importance of the second son of He to Han Runiang, if it is leaked out, it will directly affect the relationship between the Xu and He families, who will send it?
