Chapter 239

How do you know that the Tong Guifei only snorted: "What crime do you make amends to me?" Didn't I order you to pick up the princess who didn't know whether it was true or not? Although I haven't received anyone now, this palace won't blame you anyway. ”

Not only did she not blame Qian Shangshu for being incompetent, but she also thanked him. She is the daughter of the prefect of Hangzhou, because Emperor Hongguang first ascended to the throne to enrich the harem, ordered people to recruit beauties in the neighboring counties of Hangzhou, and her father dedicated her to Emperor Hongguang. She not only has a bit of beauty, but also has been accustomed to all kinds of scheming methods of women fighting for a man in the back house since she was a child.

When she was in the people, she heard about many of the kings of Linchuan who loved Princess Linchuan in various ways, and she had to take her with her wherever she went, but she couldn't leave for a moment. Therefore, everyone said that the princess of Linchuan was afraid that the appearance of a fairy could make a man like her so desperately like her.

So as soon as she heard that Emperor Hongguang was going to bring this "stunning" princess of Linchuan to Hangzhou, she immediately became vigilant in her heart.

So she hurriedly begged Emperor Hongguang to take Princess Linchuan into the city, just to see if this princess was really beautiful enough to hook people's souls. Who knew that people didn't come at all!

She didn't bother to think about why Princess Linchuan left halfway, just thinking that there was one less potential threat to be happy, and even promised Qian Muzhai to say some good things for him in front of Emperor Hongguang to save their lives.

In fact, Emperor Hongguang wanted to take Princess Linchuan to Hangzhou, not because of her beauty, but because of another deep meaning. Fortunately, he is a soft-eared person, and he was blown by Concubine Tong all night in the pillow wind, and he remembered that Qian Muzhai was famous, although he asked him a few words, he didn't ask him about his guilt in the end.

Emperor Hongguang got up the next morning, asked a few of his wise men, and came up with a new way, on the one hand, he ordered Qian Muzhai to invite the princess of Linchuan to Hangzhou again, and on the other hand, he ordered someone to spread the word, saying that the princess of Linchuan had arrived in Hangzhou.

However, Qian Muzhai sent people to secretly look for a few days, but they had no clue. No matter how he interrogated Liu Rushi where Princess Linchuan went, she used both soft and hard, and all kinds of methods were exhausted, but she insisted that Princess Linchuan didn't tell her at all at that time, saying that what kind of heavenly opportunity could not be revealed, and once she said it, it would not work.

In desperation, Qian Muzhai had to send more people in Yuhang County to see if he could find out the whereabouts of Princess Linchuan. After all, the princess of Linchuan did get off his family's carriage here, and her whereabouts are unknown.

However, whether it was the people he sent to check Yuhang County, or the neighboring counties and counties, they still found nothing.

I don't know where this princess is hiding, and I can't even find the slightest clue.

In fact, Cai Wei lived in Qingde County, not far from Yuhang County, at this time.

It turned out that when she and Liu Rushi were leaving the line that day, they heard that her voice was wrong, she had always called her princess sister in private, but that day she was a princess and a concubine, full of official words, and finally asked her to go to Hangzhou together.

Although she felt something was wrong, and guessed that Qian Muzhai had probably told Emperor Hongguang of her whereabouts, she didn't believe that Liu Rushi would also sell her together with her Shangshu master. She still has the self-confidence to recognize people's eyesight.

And Liu Rushi really didn't let her look away, held her hand, and wrote eight words in her palm: Forced by her husband, she will plan it.

From what Liu Rushi said earlier, Cai Wei had already guessed the wishful thinking of Qian Muzhai and Emperor Hongguang.

One reported her whereabouts to Emperor Hongguang, and wanted to sell well in front of the new emperor, and it was best to promote herself to another level. The other was afraid that her husband, King Linchuan, was still alive in the world, and he was more qualified to inherit Yan Qin's imperial throne than him, knowing that she and Qin Fei had a deep relationship with each other, so they wanted to imprison her as a hostage in Hangzhou. If Qin Fei is not dead, with her as a hostage, Qin Fei can be lured to hunt and kill, or forced to give up the throne, and he can deal with it calmly.

Although Liu Rushi was not ashamed of her husband's treachery, because the people sent by Qian Muzhai hid outside the door and eavesdropped, it was she who pretended to obey her and said what Qian Muzhai wanted her to say, but changed her previous name to hint at Cai Wei.

So the two smart women counted their plans and acted in front of the people sent by Qian Muzhai for a few days. When their vigilance gradually subsided, Liu Rushi took out the sweat medicine that had been prepared long ago when she was staying in Yuhang County, and put it in their diet, so that all the people had a good night's sleep, and when they woke up the next day, Princess Linchuan had long since disappeared.

In fact, Cai Wei was still living in the inn with Gan Tang at that time, but those people passed in front of her, and they couldn't recognize her as a woman. Because she disguised herself as a man.

This is all thanks to Liu Rushi, who is a careful person, and when she rescued her from the seaside back to Qianfu, she also bought the clothes she wore when she fell into the water with Gantang from the fisherman's hands. Although Master Zhou's mask was lost in the sea, Cai Wei's β–‘β–‘ was still hidden in the secret bag of her clothes.

Although Gan Tang can no longer pretend to be a man, she and Liu Rushi have already considered this, and when they go to Hangzhou, Liu Rushi has no one at home who has seen Gan Tangerine's true face except for her personal maid. Along the way, whenever Gantang appeared in front of people, he wore a hat, and he was never seen by the people sent by Qian Muzhai. As long as Cai Wei helps her apply again, stuff more things in her waist, and dress ugly, no one will be able to recognize her.

Therefore, when her master and servant changed their identities by disguise, pretended to be a husband and wife, and swaggered in front of the Qian family who were looking for them, and asked the guy for an upper room and said that they wanted to stay in the hotel, no one was suspicious of them.

The two of them stayed until Liu Rushi left Yuhang with those people, and then left some marks and went to Haining County in the east.

In fact, on the way to Hangzhou, whenever she stayed in the hotel, she would try her best to leave some secret words, which were the special code words agreed between her and Qin Fei, and only the two of them could understand it.

She knew that even Emperor Hongguang saw that Qian Muzhai could not send him to Hangzhou, and he would definitely let out the wind to say that Princess Linchuan had been welcomed to Hangzhou by him, so as to lure Qin Fei to come.

With her understanding of Qin Fei, I am afraid that as soon as she learned that she fell into the sea in Jingjiang, she immediately rushed over. He must have taken the sea route, first, to come faster, and secondly, to make it easier to search for her who fell into the sea.

She was sick in Zhenhai for more than a month, and these times were enough time for the news to reach Quanzhou, and then let Qin Fei rush from Quanzhou to Jingjiang. But while he was still looking for his whereabouts around Jingjiang, he would hear another message from Hangzhou that he was already in Hangzhou.

In order to prevent Qin Fei from rushing to Hangzhou non-stop, she left a code along the road reads;. Because there is not a single road from Jingjiang to Hangzhou, in the next half month, whether by sea or land, she went to leave a secret message one by one in several county capitals that must pass through to Hangzhou.

She told Qin Fei in all the codes, don't go to Hangzhou, it is a trap, and she will wait for him in Qingde County.

The reason why it is Qingde County is because it is the end point of the route that she chooses to take the least time and save the distance after calculating all the county capitals she wants to go to.

But what she didn't expect was that she waited in Qingde County for two days, and what she was waiting for was not the husband she thought about day and night, but the Tartar who killed people without blinking.

It seemed that it was only overnight, and the Tartar soldiers who were still in Yingtianfu were suddenly less than fifty miles away from Qingde County.

The people of Qingde County learned the news from the mouth of Wang Youde, the county magistrate.

Originally, the first half of the day was the same as usual, although the dark clouds of foreign invasion always hung overhead, but the days still had to pass, and the people were still cooking rice, washing clothes, and repeating their daily livelihood. Unexpectedly, a loud gong suddenly sounded on the street, and several county officials shouted loudly: "The county lord has an order, order you to go to the county government gate as soon as possible, the lord has something important to tell SΓΉer and others to know!" ”

When everyone rushed to the county office, they learned that in a few hours, 10,000 Tartar soldiers would kill them in Qingde County.

"Folks, the Tartar soldiers have occupied all the prefectures and counties of Yingtianfu ten days ago, and then the soldiers will fight towards Hangzhou Mansion in three ways, and it seems that they are about to kill our county. This is a surrender or a war, although I am the head of this county, but I dare not act arbitrarily, so I invited all the villagers to come. Everyone was born and grew up in Si, and now where should I go in Qingde County, should I surrender the Tartars to save my life, or would I rather die than be the people of Daqin? Wang listened to the decisions of the villagers. ”

As soon as his words fell, a few men jumped out and said, "Naturally, you can't lower the tartars!" If they do, they will shave their hair and wear their clothes instead. Our parents who have suffered from our body, hair and skin, how can we be lightly damaged, and the clothing on our bodies, which is also passed down by our ancestors, if we even lose these, are we still Han? ”

"Hair can be broken, blood can be shed, we are born as people of Great Qin, and death is the ghost of Great Qin, we would rather die than surrender!"

Seeing that they were shouting loudly, they also raised their fists and shouted: "I'd rather die than surrender, I'd rather die than surrender!" ”

Na Wang County's eyes flashed a few times, he thought for a while, waited for everyone to speak, and said loudly: "Since the villagers would rather die than surrender, then we have to try it with our mantis arm as a car." It's just that I, Wang, have never been good at military affairs, and I don't know which heroes are willing to temporarily be the leaders of the resistance to the enemy, leading the people who can fight in the county, and bravely resisting the enemy.

At one time, two people who were well-known in the county were selected, and these two people were indeed extremely talented, and several people were immediately selected to come out and entrust them with their duties, and they were assigned one by one.

Cai Wei also wanted to recommend herself and help them with advice, but an old man next to her suddenly muttered.

"This county official Wang has always been a greedy and lustful official, and he has always ignored the wicked to deceive the good, why did he reverse his temperament and become so virtuous and righteous today?"

Cai Wei couldn't help but stop, pondered the meaning of the old man's words again, and faintly felt that something was wrong. For the sake of prudence, Cai Wei temporarily stopped her intention to show up, still standing in the crowd, watching the dozen or so loyal and brave men who led the fight against thieves on the steps took the Zhuangxing wine from Wang Xianling's hands, drank it all, smashed the bowls to the ground, and shouted: "Swear to fight the thief!" ”

However, when they shouted several times and ran down the steps to take up arms to defend their homeland, they did not take a few steps before they covered their stomachs with their hands and fell to the ground, but in a few moments, they all bled to death.
