Zhao Gan jumped out of the carriage, slowly walked in front of Han Chong, and looked up at the newly appointed leader of the Imperial Forest Army: "I don't seem to have heard of you before, as if you fell from the sky." ”

Han Zhong smiled: "The status of the third prince is noble, and the younger ones are just unknown people, and it is normal that they have not heard of it." ”

He glanced up at the distance, and said in a light tone: "Third prince, the hour is not early, the second prince has been waiting for a long time, let's go to Beijing together." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and slowly made a way.

Zhao Gan stepped forward, Lin Wan'er also jumped down from the carriage and followed, hearing the sound of feet stepping on snow behind him, Zhao Gan frowned and turned back, with a wry smile on his face: "Don't follow, go back to the Lin family's courtyard, I'll be alone." ”

Lin Wan'er wrinkled her nose and continued to follow Zhao Qian, finally finding you and recognizing you, how could I let you leave like this. Li Mubai handed Baoyu to Cordyceps, swept his body lightly, passed by Han Chong, and also followed.

Zhao Qian was in front, Lin Wan'er followed, and Li Mubai was behind.

"Wan'er, don't be like this, it's meaningless......" Zhao Gan didn't look back and said, he immediately stopped, and sighed quietly, "Since you want to follow, follow it." ”

He first stepped onto the horses that the Imperial Guards had prepared, clamped the horses between his legs, and slowly walked away.

Lin Wan'er instructed Cordyceps and Baoyu to go home together, and she and Li Mubai got into the carriage and continued to follow Zhao Gan, she was a little scared, afraid that Zhao Qian would enter the capital and arrive at the palace. They will never be seen again.

Hanging far behind the Imperial Forest Army, Lin Wan'er could only see Zhao Gan's horses in front of the shadowy Imperial Forest Army, blocked by layers of embroidered winter knives and silver armor. Han Chong and Zhao Gan, who were tall and tall, walked side by side, unable to see clearly and couldn't hear what the two were saying.

The Imperial Forest Army waited thirty miles west of Shangjing, and it was not long before they arrived in Shangjing, the tall city gate showed the unparalleled national strength of the Great Wei State, and there were soldiers wearing armor scimitars standing on the city wall, and the snow was pouring down. The original appearance can no longer be seen, and the people entering the city in front of the city gate are lined up in an orderly manner, and you can often see the scene of smuggling smuggled salt traders stuffing silver into the sleeves of the soldiers. Many people are rolling their sleeves and stomping their feet because of the cold.

But under such a scene of national peace and security, too many things have happened in the palace and the court. It's just that these things are far away from the people. And it was well hidden, and it did not affect the entire Great Wei Kingdom.

Lin Wan'er, who was not far away, suddenly remembered the second prince Zhao Shuo in the palace, who was now in charge of the country, she didn't have much contact with him, and every time she saw him, she always had a warm smile and extremely polite elegance. The first time I heard about his interesting story, Princess Roujia whispered to her in private, saying that the second prince had sent someone to Lanzhou to inquire about Lin Wan'er a long time ago, and also bought a few copies of "The Legend of the West Chamber" to read, which is why the princess Pan Meimei was dissatisfied. Let people "do" Lin Wan'er on the way to the capital.

Thinking of the monkeys and iron hoops on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the upper capital, Lin Wan'er was shocked. Since then, she has felt that there is an invisible force in the capital that has done a lot of things in secret.

Splash Monkey and Iron Ring both claim to be the "watchdogs" under the second prince, just the workers who clean up the mess for others.

When the King of Xiliang and the general first arrived in the capital, they first visited the small courtyard of the Lin family, in addition to the female assassins sent by the King of Jing'an at the beginning, Wei Song also fought with three masters with mutilated weapons, and was escaped by those three.

When Pan Renmei hijacked Baoyu and Yubao, the masters behind him were not simple small roles, if it weren't for Li Mubai, who was a master of swordsmanship, those were all real first-class masters.

The king of the Southern Courtyard, Ah Gu, entered Beijing to assassinate him, and it seems that there is an invisible force that has done a lot of things in him.

And on the way to Xiliang, those masters who chased and killed the monkey did not figure out their identity, and when they asked the monkey about it afterwards, he also prevaricated vaguely and did not say it clearly.

There is also the fat master Li Wei from the sticky rod, when Lin Wan'er left Xiliang, he also mentioned a few words, but because he knew very little, he couldn't give Lin Wan'er useful information.

And that night, Xu Yunfeng and Zhao Gan were drunk, and the identities of the black-clothed people who were killed in the heavy rain have not yet been clarified.

……

There are many small details, insignificant bits and pieces, which now that I think back on them, contain some big secrets.

In the process of Lin Wan'er's thinking, the Royal Forest Army had already entered the city, and their carriage also followed into the capital, the first time they entered the capital, they were the third and fourth children on the list, and they were ordered to enter the capital, it was also a cold day, at that time, Lin Wan'er hid in the carriage, wrapped in three quilts and still felt cold, and now it is also the university flying into Beijing, but she doesn't feel a trace of cold.

A team of people and a carriage drove down the street, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, as if they wanted to hide the truth.

Suddenly, the snowflakes between heaven and earth paused, and although Lin Wan'er didn't see it, she could feel that someone on the street was looking in this direction, looking at Zhao Gan at the front of the Imperial Forest Army.

She wanted to remind her, but was held down by Li Mubai: "Miss Wan'er, the person who came has no killing intent, let alone murderous intent, it seems that she is here to save people." ”

The figure hidden in the wind and snow on the street suddenly swept up, swallowed the wind with his big sleeves, stepped on his feet violently, and the snowflakes were stirred up by the huge energy, and flew into ripples of water, and a dark yellow shadow between heaven and earth was a hundred feet in an instant.

The speed of the people was very fast, and the evil qi on the body was very heavy, it was the smell of blood formed by killing too many people, and the first Han heavy horse was frightened and irritable.

The Imperial Forest Army brushed and drew out the light crossbow on the leg, pulled the string and set the arrow, aimed at the incoming person, a snowflake fell on the tip of the arrow, as long as Han Zhong gave an order, the crossbow arrow that was said to be as fast as thunder within a hundred steps could pierce the person into a hedgehog.

Han Zhong raised his hand, signaling that everyone behind him did not need to panic, with an inexplicable smile on his face, waiting for the other party to rush in front of him, the man jumped up, and his palms suddenly pushed out, slamming into Han Chong.

Han Zhong lightly raised his right arm and blocked the palms of the comer. The violent breath stirred up a wind, blowing Han Chong's black hair fluttering backwards.

The person who came did not succeed in a move, and did not retreat in a panic. Instead, he pulled his palms and pressed them on the horse's head, with his body as the axis of his arms, and his legs like whips, and whipped towards Han Zhong fiercely.

Han Zhong raised his arms again to block, and another gust of wind rolled up. However, this time, he did not blindly block, but waved his fist and blasted at the other party without any fancy. A punch blasted out, blasting out a passage without wind and snow in the snowstorm,

No one is alarmed. His hands patted the horse's head, and his body swirled against the horse's belly like a swimming fish, swam out of the horse, and his hands flew up. It's like pinching needle embroidery. Piercing Han Chong's eight acupuncture points all over his body.

Han Zhong slammed the horse's belly, the horse couldn't bear it, his limbs were broken, and he fell on the snow, and his hands were already pressed on the scabbard at his waist, and a knife flower passed, and all the people flew their hands.

The person who came couldn't make a move, and he didn't stay. Twist your body and stand on the horse's head again. Taking advantage of the gap between Han Chong's hands holding the knife, he pointed a finger at the center of Han Chong's eyebrows, Han Chong's whole body lay backwards, and he also took advantage of the situation to smash out the embroidered winter knife and hit it hard at the heart of the visitor.

The body of the person who came retreated sharply, his feet slipped out of the snow, and disappeared again in the snowstorm, and Han Zhong took advantage of the situation to draw, and between the square inches, he swung out from top to bottom, and the knife fell thousands of miles and slashed into the blizzard, even ordinary people could see that there was a clearly visible vacuum between the wind and snow in the sky.

Han Chong's helmet fell to the ground and shattered, but he was not injured in the slightest, and when he swung a knife, he did not relax at all, but held the knife with one hand and walked forward.

I don't know how long it took, but the man walked out of the wind and snow, raised his sleeve to cover his mouth with one hand, and only showed a pair of eyes and white eyebrows: "It really deserves to be the newly appointed commander of the Royal Forest Army, and his methods are extraordinary, and my father-in-law is really eye-opening." It wasn't until this time that I saw the face of the person who came, and it turned out to be the famous Gonggong Hong in the palace who hurt people the first in the capital.

"Father-in-law Hong is really capable of means, Han's little tricks can't go up to the stage, and it is really a blessing to be able to ask Gonggong Hong for a lesson or two today." He said politely, but the embroidered winter knife in Han Chong's hand was not sheathed, and it was still held in the snow, "Father-in-law Hong, Han is here to receive the third prince into the palace by the holy decree of the second prince today. ”

"That's reasonable, but in my father-in-law's opinion, it's all ...... . Gonggong Hong still covered his mouth with his clothes, looked at Zhao Qian not far away, and said: "Third prince, the old man was ordered by the princess to invite the third prince out of the city. The old slave can drag Han Chong, with Li Mubai here, these Royal Forest Army is not a problem. The princess said to go as far as she could, and that it was better never to come back. ”

Zhao Gan shook his head, this kind of thing can only be thought of by Rou Jia's girl, and only she can do it, he can think of the seriousness and seriousness on Rou Jia's face when he thought of this idea, the more this childish thought, the more Zhao Qian felt warm, and the more determined he was to enter the palace.

"Father-in-law Hong, don't toss, I'll enter the palace immediately." Zhao Qian said, riding forward.

Gonggong Hong seemed to have something to say, but in the end he could only sigh heavily, walked to Lin Wan'er's carriage, and sat aside with his hands on his sleeves.

The Imperial Forest Army and the convoy continued to move forward, and Lin Wan'er had the opportunity to ask Gonggong Hong what happened in the capital at this time.

Mentioning this, Gonggong Hong also showed a trace of confusion on his face, and said: "The old slave knows very little, it happened too suddenly, first of all, the Queen Mother is sick, the Queen Mother takes care of it day and night, Your Majesty is also exhausted for this, and it is sleepless day and night, the imperial doctor has diagnosed it many times, and I don't know how much I drank the decoction, but I couldn't find out the clues and the root of the disease, and the Queen Mother's body became weaker and weaker, so she returned to heaven." ”

"At this point, things are still reasonable, after the death of the first emperor, the queen mother's body is not good, and then after the Suzaku Gate incident, the heirs of the Zhao family are seven or eight, and the queen mother is even more like being struck by lightning. After King Xiliang entered Beijing, the words in front of the Jing'an Palace, drained the Queen Mother's last breath of spirit, but since the beating, the Queen Mother's attitude towards things has changed a lot, and she has become more kind, and she is no longer as harsh on people as before, and she is a lot more compassionate, and she only looks forward to being able to hold her great-grandson in her lifetime. ”

In this way, it is reasonable for the Queen Mother to return to heaven, but then the things are a little unpredictable, the university scholar Chen Xian also died suddenly, I heard others say that it was when he was at home to wipe the body of the lady who was sick in bed, he accidentally fell, the little maid did not find it in time, and his wife who had been in bed for many years died within a few days. This thing is a little strange, and Scholar Chen's body is not tough, because Xueyongguan changed his mind and work, and he became ill from hard work, so he had to return to Shangjing to recuperate, and things happened without warning. ”

"As we all know, the Great Wei State has the Zhenbei Army and the Western Liang Army to check and balance each other, and in the imperial court, the scholar Chen Xian and the prime minister Pan Chunwei check and balance each other, the prime minister Pan Chunwei leads the six departments and is the head of the hundred officials, and the scholar Chen Xian is in charge of the three provinces, and is a model for the world. This time, the scholar died violently, and Prime Minister Pan Chunwei successfully took over the three provinces and became the undisputed minister of the imperial court. Even so, there is no way to do it, looking at the whole court, only the prime minister will take over the three provinces will not make a big mistake, and His Majesty is also in favor of this. ”

At this time, rumors have spread in the market, saying that the prime minister is highly respected and upright, and naturally he will not covet the status of the court, but others don't know that the death of Chen Xian seems to be related to the prime minister's son, Pan Renmei, and Pan Meimei, the daughter of the princess in the palace. Everyone knows that some of the political views of the prime minister and the scholars are not in harmony, especially in some tough policies of the Zhenbei Army and Xiliang, they were all stopped by the scholars, and the Miss Chen, who is as famous as the Wan'er girl, is going to marry the three princes. ”

"But if the scholar dies violently, things will be different, the prime minister will be more powerful, and Miss Chen and the third prince will be far away from the capital, and the form of the capital will be clearer. At that time, the crown prince's position, which has been pending in the imperial court for many years, will be settled in one fell swoop, and it is obvious that the second prince, who behaves more steadily and well, will live in the East Palace and become the next prince. ”

The rumors were all over the capital, and the prime minister had no reaction to this, but something came out again, and the prime minister closed Pan Renmei, and even went into the palace to scold the princess. Everyone knew that the princess was afraid of the prime minister, but that day she loudly contradicted the prime minister. (To be continued.) )
