The scorching sun hung high, Jiangning City was dressed in golden armor, the sun jumped on the water, and the Yangtze River became warm, like a golden-scaled python, rolling, whistling, and rushing to flow.

When the group came to the city gate, Jiangning officials greeted them, and Zhao Mao smiled and responded one by one.

At this time, a middle-aged and majestic man wearing a black scarlet robe, showing a whitebait on the front, and a dark leather belt around his waist walked out of the crowd.

Qing Qian and Zhiwen immediately joined forces and said: "See the total head catcher." ”

The man nodded at the two of them, turned around and arched his hand: "His Royal Highness King Kang, the humble position is Chen Ying, the head catcher of the Six Doors Branch of Huainan West Road, and if you have something important to report, please also ask Your Highness to move the six doors." ”

When Zhao Mao heard this, he drowsy and touched the pillow, and was about to look for you. He nodded his head, confessed to the officials, and led the group to the six gates.

After coming to the six gates, Chen Ying continued to lead Zhao Mao to the depths, except for Hua Kui and Yang Tianyou, the rest of the people were waiting in the hall of the six doors.

In the black stone brick bunker, rows of torture instruments are placed on shelves, and the wails of prisoners linger in your ears.

Zhao Mao sat on the wooden chair under Chen Ying's arrangement, and Hua Kui and Yang Tianyou stood left and right behind him.

Soon, a man who was chained and covered in scars was taken to Chen Ying and Zhao Mao by the jailers.

Chen Ying pointed to the man with a weak breath and said, "Your Royal Highness King Kang, you have already found out that the group of people who robbed and killed His Highness yesterday are the masters of the Xixia Yipintang.

This person is the Xixia Yipintang hidden in Jiangning Mansion, and yesterday we intercepted the information he was about to pass on to Yipintang.

Yipintang led the team this time it was the evil slam that was full of Yingduan Yanqing, and his strength was extremely strong. This person used to be the head of the four evildoers in the world, but the other three evildoers were killed by the previous martial arts alliance leader.

In addition, according to the information we have stored before, this person has a great relationship with the Dali royal family.

They want to kill His Royal Highness, so as to disturb the peace of my Great Song Dynasty, and seize the Immortal Sutra by the way.

His Royal Highness has the Immortal Sutra in his body, and many martial arts people want to be unfavorable to His Highness, but they are blocked by the head-catching under the command of the Six Gates, but this Pintang is too hidden and avoids our eyes and ears.

I ask Your Highness to forgive you for the crime of dereliction of duty. ”

Zhao Mao felt a chill and said angrily: "I see, Xixia actually did such a trick.

There is also this period of Yanqing, which almost took the life of this king, if it wasn't for being blocked by the passing masters, this king might have already returned to Huangquan.

Chen Zhutou, please continue to investigate the whereabouts of these thieves, this king wants to write to the emperor and send troops to exterminate Western Xia. ”

Chen Ying sneered in his heart when he heard this, and secretly said that this Prince Kang really has no brains, how could Da Song use a sword for you alone.

With a firm expression, he said: "I will do my best to find out the whereabouts of the thief." ”

Then, Zhao Mao asked with palpitations: "But according to what you just said, it seems that this king's journey will not be peaceful, I don't know if Chen Zhutou can protect this king all the way to Hangzhou, and this king will be grateful." ”

Chen Ying was puzzled: "I also want to protect the safety of His Highness closely, but I can't get out of my humble position because I am in an important position." ”

Zhao Mao got up and walked back and forth, and said in fear: "I heard that the little master said that the six doors have four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang headcatchers, or Chen Zhutou will send dozens of heaven-level headcatchers to protect this king." ”

Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "Your Highness doesn't know, there are only three heaven-level headhunters in my Great Song Dynasty, that is, Shaolin Abbot Xuan Lone, the leader of the beggar gang Shi Peiyuan, and the head catcher of the six doors Tie Litie.

Among them, the Shaolin abbot and the beggar gang leader are both nominal, and the chief catcher needs to guard the capital.

And the headhunters of the six doors branch of Huainan West Road are all scattered in various places, and they all have tasks.

Only the two yellow-level headhunters Qing Qian and Zhiwen that His Highness met have not yet been taught. ”

Zhao Mao rushed to the doctor and said: "Then let these two little masters escort this king, no, directly under the command of this king, and let them guard this king day and night." ”

Chen Ying lowered his head, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Follow King Kang's orders." ”

Zhao Mao took Hua Kui and Yang Tianyou out of prison, and he didn't dare to run around, so he stayed in the six doors for one night.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qing Qian and Zhiwen, who were transferred to Zhao Mao's command, set off with everyone.

In the newly changed carriage, Hua Kui is seriously learning embroidery.

I don't know why, when I passed by the streets of the city today, Hua Kui fell in love with this thing at a glance, and I couldn't put it down after buying it.

And when embroidering, my heart is like a flat mirror, and the internal force runs more quickly.

Zhao Mao closed his eyes and ran the exercises, recalling Chen Ying's words, which could be said to make his heart cold.

The intelligence information of the six doors of the hall was so powerful, he must have known where he was traveling, but no one came to protect him.

Even the whereabouts of the local martial arts people in the rivers and lakes can be investigated clearly, but they can't find the whereabouts of the Great Song Dynasty and the enemy people who are extremely unfamiliar.

It is estimated that this Chen Ying knew that he was going to be robbed and killed, so he scattered all the headhunters everywhere in advance.

Qing Qian and Zhiwen both met their group by chance, but Chen Ying didn't expect that Qing Qian's strength was strong.

If it is as expected, it is at least equipped with an earth-level wind chasing head, and the heaven-level may not be possible.

This time I was a blessing in disguise, and I was happy to get a big help.

And this Chen Ying should only obey others, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is his uncle.

can make Chen Ying obey orders, and the most motivated, he can only think of his uncle alone.

The other two percent are that if he has an accident on the way to office, he will inevitably make the world suspect him, and his uncle should not be so stupid.

Could it be someone else?

Late at night, the moon and stars are scarce, the guards outside the imperial study are strict, all of them are standing with swords in danger, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they are all in good spirits and dare not have a trace of slackness.

In the imperial study, there was the sound of broken porcelain and bursts of angry scolding.

"You, who made you assert. ”

Liang Shicheng knelt on the ground with a pale face and trembled, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty is angry, the slave just wants to share your worries for Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji was angry: "Share the worries, that's Prince Kang, my dear nephew, you actually ordered the people of the Six Doors not to block the Western Xia assassins."

You move your dog brain.

As soon as I had an heir, the former crown prince was made a prince, and then killed on the way to office.

The whole world will only think that it is my hand!"

Liang Shicheng said in a trembling voice: "But on the main hall that day, it was King Kang who took the initiative to go to Jiangnan. ”

Zhao Ji smashed the inkstone on his head with his hand, and said angrily: "They will guess that I coerced the prince to take the initiative, I can gag their mouths, and I can also gag their hearts!"

The most important thing is that King Kang was killed by the Western Xia assassins, what a blow to the morale of our army.

If King Kang of the Great Song Dynasty was assassinated by the assassins of the enemy country in his territory, wouldn't the other officials and relatives of the emperor be in danger. ”

After hearing this, Liang Shicheng kept kowtowing and whimpered: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the slave only wants to erase the threat for Your Majesty and clear the obstacles for Your Highness." ”

Hearing the three words of His Royal Highness, Zhao Ji's anger gradually subsided, and he sat quietly on the chair.

After a while, Zhao Jiyin said ruthlessly: "You are loyal to me, and I don't blame you this time."

Use your brain in everything.

I gave the Immortal Sutra to King Kang, just to let those martial arts bandits go and rob it.

If I accidentally killed King Kang, I could justifiably purge the martial arts.

Now is not the time, wait a few more years, when the time is right, what you will do, I don't even know. ”

Liang Shicheng looked up at Zhao Ji, who had a cold look in his eyes, and immediately bowed down and said, "The slave obeys the order, and will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations." ”

"Let's go down and bring two more volumes of Wanshou Daozang from behind. ”

Ever since Zhao Ji reprimanded Liang Shicheng, the six doors began to secretly protect Zhao Mao with all their might.

I don't know how many sects were secretly warned by the six gates, and the sects that did not listen to the advice and insisted on going their own way were directly secretly destroyed.

As for those scattered people in the rivers and lakes, before they approached Zhao Mao and his party, they were blocked by the six gates.

If you dare to rob the immortal scriptures at this time, you will definitely be besieged by the imperial court and the red-eyed people in the rivers and lakes.

No one dared to be this bird, although the martial arts people did not make a move, most of their eyes were focused on Zhao Mao, waiting for the time to be ripe.

Ten days later, outside Hangzhou, many officials were looking forward to it.

This Prince Kang is very powerful, although he cannot directly control the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, he can organize an army by himself.

This is not the most important thing for officials, the main thing is that Hangzhou is their fiefdom, which means that the transfer and appointment of officials must be approved by them.

Most of the officials are for promotion and wealth, and only when you are promoted can you get rich.

A black spot appeared on the horizon in the distance, gradually getting bigger, and Zhao Mao and the others finally arrived in Hangzhou safely.

Since the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Hangzhou has become increasingly prosperous, and the south of the Yangtze River is the land of fish and rice, which has made Hangzhou's economy become the forefront of the Great Song Dynasty.
