Chapter 118 Picking up a child daughter-in-law
Wei Zhongxian immediately pulled out his legs and ran, saying that there were secret guards around the emperor, and this woman called Siniang must be the leader of the secret guards left by the emperor to protect the prince.
"It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will rest early today, and he will not go to Yanfu Palace to accompany the Queen Mother to dine, and no one shall disturb His Royal Highness the Prince, if the courtiers have any performance, unless it is 100,000 urgent, they will not be seen."
Guo Zongxun was tied up and stuffed in a sack, with only one head exposed, and a silk handkerchief in his mouth, staring at a masked man sitting in the carriage with big eyes.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really extraordinary, until now, he has not struggled to resist at all, not even crying, he went out of the city just now, and thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your cooperation."
The carriage went out of the west gate, walked for a while, changed the carriage again, turned south and walked for another section, came to a wharf, changed boats all the way to the east and drove back to Kaifeng City.
But he did not enter the city, but bypassed the city, continued to the southeast, and after a dozen miles of waterway, stopped at a wharf, and then changed the carriage.
Guo Zongxun was stuffed in a sack and carried around, and he was always very cooperative, not crying, not making trouble, not worrying or worried.
After several tosses, it was already dark, and this time, the route and goal of the carriage were clear.
All the way north.
A candle was lit in the carriage, and the masked man took off the black cloth covering his face, and it turned out to be a white-faced and beardless old man.
"Hehe, Brother Yeluhua, the Taiwei of Liao, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shangguo......"
Guo Zongxun understood again that it was not Brother Yelu Hua himself who negotiated with them before, but the real Brother Yelu Hua......
The silk handkerchief in his mouth has been taken out, and Guo Zongxun looked at Brother Yelu Hua coldly, he is really an old fox.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you speak? I've heard that the crown prince prodigy of the Great Zhou Dynasty is here, and he cleaned up the two prime ministers on the first day of the prison country, and he also had a big fight with the queen in the harem, which is really majestic. ”
Guo Zongxun still didn't speak, because he felt that it was unnecessary, this was a moment for Yelu Huage to perform alone, and let him play well as a winner.
"Since you don't say it, Your Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk about it, the old man didn't enter Kaifeng with the mission at all, the old man came three days in advance, how about it, isn't it a surprise?"
Brother Yelu Hua was a little unsure, he said this to a six-year-old child, whether he could understand it.
"Looking at your expression, you don't seem surprised, do you have any back, Your Royal Highness the Prince?"
Brother Yelu looked at Guo Zongxun with a mocking expression, and continued to speak:
"The old man has been planning for a long time, just for today, who the emperor of Zhou will fight, the old man will not pay too much attention to it at all, what the old man pays attention to is that after Guo Rong is gone, His Royal Highness the Prince."
Guo Zongxun shook his head, as if he wanted to speak, but stopped again.
"No matter who Guo Rong beats, as long as the old man has you in his hands, he can grasp the biggest initiative, and now, the old man's plan has finally succeeded, and it will be up to me to be the Emperor of Da Liao."
This time Guo Zongxun spoke:
"What's your deal with the Daomen? Lone is more interested in this. ”
Brother Yeluhua laughed, laughing:
"I can't imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still paying attention to these now, it doesn't hurt to tell you, whether the Daomen is involved in the old man's I don't know, Chen Jian is a condition proposed to the old man on behalf of himself, he wants to send his disciples and grandchildren to my Daliao to establish a Taoist temple, so that the royal family of our Liao Kingdom will support it."
Guo Zongxun was a little angry, damn it, just such a small request, he actually exchanged it for this prince, is it so worthless?
"Your Liao army must have gathered in Ningzhou, just wait for the news of your success here, the Liao army will immediately launch an attack on my Great Zhou."
Brother Yelu touched his chin and sighed:
"The reason why the old man didn't kill you, but kidnapped you, on the one hand, is to take you as a hostage, and on the other hand, he is also a talent, a smart child like you is rare in our Daliao."
"Brother Hugh and Xiao Yanyan, have you also been rescued?"
"The old man likes you more and more now, and let you guess it, thanks to you for keeping them alone, otherwise, they will also become outcasts."
When Yelu Huage said these words, he didn't think about the one who pretended to be him at all, and the entire Daliao Mission, in his eyes, was an outcast.
Guo Zongxun suddenly thought of Zhao Er, he had just sent Zhao Er to the Chun Trap Courtyard a few days ago, if Brother Yelu Xiu and Xiao Yanyan had already been rescued, what about Zhao Er?
It's best to be killed by the Liao people, so that you don't have to worry about cutting off this guy's head all day long.
Guo Zongxun smiled, his body was still tied up like zongzi, which was very uncomfortable.
"Old man, why don't you surrender to my Da Zhou, a talent like you, Lone is also eager for you, as long as you are sincere and obedient, Lone promises to reuse you."
Brother Yelu stared at Guo Zongxun for a long time, and the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the marching route of the army of the Zhou State is clear to the old man, and this is the ...... of this book."
A book was thrown in front of Guo Zongxun, Guo Zongxun looked at it and sighed, Qin Li, what a talent.
"It's this book, compiled by Qin Li of your country, which details the deployment of troops in various counties, and the old man is based on this escape route, where did you get the confidence of Your Royal Highness the Prince, and you still want to recruit the old man?"
Guo Zongxun said in his heart, Lone originally had no self-confidence, and he didn't plan to use himself as bait at all, but in order to be able to meet Sister Siniang smoothly, he had to do it.
"Okay, don't say much, you don't want to surrender, Lone is also very helpless, by the way, Brother Hugh and Yanyan, will they meet you in front?"
Brother Yelu nodded and asked:
"Why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince care so much about the two little dolls of my Liao Kingdom?"
Guo Zongxun said with a smile:
"The two of them are also lonely horses, the eldest and the elder are short all day long, and they are very respectful, how can they be willing to watch them go to a dead end."
Brother Yelu laughed again:
"It's okay, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives in Daliao, the old man is in charge, so let you go and be a slave to Brother Hugh, if Brother Hugh wants, you can also call him boss."
After walking for a while, the carriage stopped, and Brother Yelu Hua smiled:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is it, when Brother Hugh and Yanyan arrive, we will set off again."
Guo Zongxun turned his neck and said casually:
"There are still very important things to do tomorrow, and if you go too far, you won't be able to go back."
A chuckle came from outside the carriage:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, hasn't Siniang been cooperating with His Royal Highness the Prince, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want to play anymore, then okay, that's it."
The moonlit nights in spring are romantic, with the smell of fresh grass everywhere mixed with some floral scents.
Yelu Huge and Xiao Yanyan were not in the mood to indulge in it at this time, they were fleeing for their lives.
In the carriage, Xiao Yanyan kept looking at Brother Yelu Xiu, never expecting that Brother Hugh, who had been reminded and taught a lesson by me, was actually a very crucial chess piece in Lord Taiwei's entire operation.
"Yanyan, you don't have to look at me like this, after all, I'm ten years old, Guo Zongxun, that kid, how can you play with me."
Yelu Huge's face was finally no longer immature, he looked at Xiao Yanyan with an appreciative gaze, and said:
"It's you, Yanyan, your various performances these days really surprise me, if I can produce a queen like you in Daliao, why not worry."
Xiao Yanyan's little face was slightly red, she was really unwilling, in Lord Taiwei's plan, she was just an insignificant one, not even a chess piece.
"It's a pity, Brother Hugh, you're not a true prince......"
Yelu Huge's eyes dimmed, this is something that can't be helped, he was originally a son of the clan, and he wanted to become the emperor of Da Liao, unless the Liao Kingdom was in turmoil, unless at that time, he just happened to be able to master enough military power.
"Yes, it's a pity, but it's nothing, my Yelu Xiuge is loyal to Da Liao, whoever becomes the emperor is the same for me, I'll be a general."
Xiao Yanyan wanted to stimulate Brother Yelu Xiu, but she didn't expect Brother Yelu Xiu to be unpopular.
"Brother Hugh, you are a general, then I will be a general's wife, queen, whoever likes to be should go."
A gleam flashed in Jeruxiugo's eyes, and then dimmed again.
"I hope it can really be like this, that will be the greatest wish of my Jeruxiu in this life."
Xiao Yanyan tilted her head, with a smug expression, and asked again:
"That one is called Zhao Er, why don't you kill him, this kind of person is a scourge to stay in the world."
Jeruxiu said with a smile:
"Actually, I like him a lot, at least he has crazy confidence in himself, he firmly believes that his art of war is invincible in the world, and I really learned a lot of truth from his junk art of war."
"Then this is not a reason for you to let him go, do you want to keep him to harm Zhou Guo, I'm afraid he won't have this opportunity."
"I just like him very purely, in the future, I will become a general, when I conquer the Zhou Kingdom, if he is still alive, I will let him follow me, Da Zhou will not let him be a general, I will let him be a ......"
"Brother Hugh, how can you be sure that this Zhao Er will definitely surrender?"
"I'm sure and sure, this Zhao Er is a soft bone at all, when the time comes, you see, he won't need me to persuade him to surrender, he will take the initiative to surrender."
Xiao Yanyan couldn't figure it out, Brother Hugh's brain was really different from ordinary people.
The carriage stopped, and several masked men in black took Yelu Hugo and Xiao Yanyan out of the carriage and followed a mountain path into the woods.
After a few hills, a wide road appeared not far away, and a carriage stopped quietly.
The sound of the wind swirled in the valley, and there was a feeling of gusting wind, but at this time, Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan's hearts were very excited.
I'm about to meet Brother Yeluhua, a wise man of the Liao State, who used a clever plan to turn the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State around.
It's ridiculous, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhou State have always thought that they were playing tricks on me.
There was a man sitting in the carriage, presumably a driver, and the spy in charge of liaison signaled the carriage and received a response quickly.
"Safe, let's go, let's go meet Lord Yelu."
Several black-clothed men quickly approached the carriage with Brother Hugh and Yan Yan.
"Why are you alone, in the car?" The Dark Agent Leader asked.
"I'm alone, my lord...... ...... in the car"
The person driving the car was also an undercover agent, and at this moment, he was trembling all over, and the night covered the fear on his face.
"No, it smells of blood...... Alert ......"
The Spy Leader was naturally highly trained, and quickly noticed something unusual.
Several spies drew their weapons and watched cautiously.
"What's going on, my lord, he ......"
The Spy Leader placed the dagger around the driver's neck.
"They left me to deliver a message to you, and the adults are in the car, so take a look first."
By now, the Spy Leader had realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to escape, so he reached out and lifted the curtain......
Inside the car, half of the lit candles remained, and the flames were blown by the wind as the curtain opened.
In the middle of the saddle, there was a person, a headless man in Hanfu.
The leader of the secret agent closed the curtain of the car and asked very calmly:
"Tell me, who are they, how did the adults die, and what did they ask you to bring us?"
The driver stretched out his hand and removed the dagger from his neck, and said:
"Keep your dagger and kill a few more Han people to avenge us, the reason why I didn't die is not that I'm afraid of death, but that they only left me, and I want to keep my life to tell you everything that happened."
"The emperor of Zhou destroyed the Buddha, but the Buddha Gate was protected by my Great Liao, and Chen Tuan of the Daomen came to us and said that he wanted to cooperate with our Da Liao and establish a Daomen force in Liao that respected him Chen Tuan."
"Lord Yelu personally went to see Chen Tuan and made a request, that is, to let Chen Tuan find a way to hand over the crown prince of Zhou to us."
"After the conspiracy, everything went smoothly, the crown prince of Zhou was captured by us, Lord Yelu took us around, and made sure that no one was following, so we changed into a carriage and headed north."
"The road map for the retreat is known only to Lord Yeru, and he says he has it all in his head."
"Just now, half an hour ago, the kidnapped prince of Zhou suddenly said a word, he said that there are still very important things tomorrow, don't go too far, otherwise you won't be able to rush back, and then ......"
"Then, everyone died, including Lord Yelu, the prince of Zhou came out of the carriage with the head of Lord Yelu in his hand."
"It's scary to say, I didn't see who the person was at all, I just knew that it was a woman, a woman with a nice voice......"
"The prince of Zhou Guo patted me on the shoulder and asked me to bring a message to Brother Hugh and Yanyan."
"Lone wanted to kill the two of you together, but I couldn't bear it, after all, you two called Lone Boss, this boss is not called for nothing."
"I hope you remember the boss of Lone, if you can escape smoothly, return to Liao, Lone hopes that you will treat the Han people of Liao well."
"If you let Gu know, after you go back, you will intensify the cruelty of the Han people, and Gu swears that when the Liao Kingdom falls, it will be the day when your Liao people are wiped out."
"The reason why Lone kept the lives of the two of you is not to make trouble for himself, Lone will grow up, you will grow up, and when you grow up, Lone hopes that you can manage Liao Country well."
"Lone hopes that you can make the Liao Kingdom strong, so that when Lone goes to recruit you, Lone will have another fighting army in his hands."
"That's all I have to say, Brother Hugh, Yanyan, the first thing you have to face is whether you can escape from my Great Zhou."
"Remember everything Gu said, if you dare to kill my people of Da Zhou, Gu will arrest you back with a thousand knives, and take the meat on your body to feed the dogs."
After saying this, the driver took out a dagger from his arms, stuck it in his chest, and stretched out his finger to the grass more than ten feet away.
"They're all there, bury me with them, the heads of the adults are probably brought back by them, and if you can't transport the corpses, bury them together."
Xiao Yanyan listened to the car driver's story, she was already paralyzed on the ground, trembling, what kind of person is the boss, it's terrible.
Brother Yelu Xiu was a little better, but he was also covered in a cold sweat, and he didn't notice Xiao Yanyan who was already paralyzed on the ground.
"It turns out that the boss has never taken us seriously, I think I have done enough to hide from the boss, but in fact, the boss is just playing with us at all."
Is this absolute strength and self-confidence?
In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are in vain.
The leader of the secret agent didn't speak, and only when the driver was completely breathed did he clasp his fists around him and said:
"The foreign minister thanks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his leniency, and the foreign minister will definitely keep in mind His Royal Highness the Prince's instructions and advise me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao, to treat the Han people of Liao well, but it is impossible to make my Great Liao surrender, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill us, it is still too late to ......"
Only the spring breeze blew, and there was no response around.
"Let's go, bury the bodies of the Lord and my Daliao martyrs, and then, let's go home......"
The leader of the secret agent reached out and patted Yeluxiu on the shoulder, and said:
"Your Excellency is most optimistic about you, and once strongly opposed the emperor to let you be a proton, Brother Hugh, we are now on the run, and you are our leader."
The rest of the spies had already gone into the woods and started digging pits, ready to bury the bodies.
Jeruxiu was stunned for a long time, and finally puffed up his chest.
"Bury the bodies of Lord Yelu and my Daliao martyrs, and then, we all put on Han costumes and drive the carriage from the road to Ningzhou, whether we can escape and see if it is man-made, not the will of heaven."
Then, Yelu Hugo also clenched his fists and said into the darkness around him:
"Boss, if we all grow up, your Zhou Kingdom has not perished, and our Da Liao is still there, Brother Hugh will definitely meet you on the battlefield."
Guo Zongxun was sitting on a big tree not far from the carriage at the downwind outlet, and beside him, there was a woman in black.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you really let them go like this, you are not afraid of raising tigers?"
"Sister Siniang, Liao needs capable people to govern, Lone is optimistic about the two of them, Lone doesn't want to conquer Liao, Liao is too weak, that will make Lone very disappointed."
"Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried that after they go back, they will frantically massacre the Han people to retaliate against my Great Zhou?"
"Sister Siniang, the current Han people in Liaodi, one day they are not under the butcher's knife of the Liao people, what we have to do is to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun and return my people to the people of Da Zhou."
"Alas...... These things that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince considers, I don't understand as a little woman, you say that if you don't kill, you won't kill. ”
"Sister Siniang, can I discuss something with you, don't always call me His Royal Highness the Prince, just call me Brother Xun'er, it's called that in the Dream of Red Mansions."
"Where is Dream of Red Mansions, is it also in the Central Plains? It doesn't matter, just call you Brother Xun'er, then don't call me sister, just call Siniang. ”
"Siniang, this ...... How does it sound like the fourth mother of loneliness? ”
"Brother Xun, correct you, it's not a little mother, it's a child daughter-in-law......"
Oh my God, the child daughter-in-law is worthy of being called from the Qing Dynasty, and at this time in the five generations, it seems that there is no such profession as a child daughter-in-law.
"Then you don't need to call you Siniang, just call your daughter-in-law."
"That's not good, I like to call my brother Siniang."
Well, Guo Zongxun feels that he is very happy, and having a top beautiful assassin to be his child daughter-in-law is a blessing that ordinary people can never look forward to.
"By the way, Siniang, the Liao State has assembled a large army in Ningzhou, ready to invade my Great Zhou at any time, this news must be sent to my father and emperor quickly, so that he can be prepared."
"Don't worry, I've already sent my fellow junior sister Nalan Yi to report to the emperor."
I went and summoned Yue Fei to take a Li Wa, and it was indeed beneficial to summon Lu Siniang.
The same junior sister, Nalan Yi, is she good-looking? If you are good-looking, you can consider adopting a child daughter-in-law together.
"No, without Lone's token, my father won't believe you."
"Brother Xun'er, didn't you notice that you were missing something?"
When Guo Zongxun was kidnapped, he was in a small suit, and everything on his body was scavenged, including a jade pendant symbolizing the identity of the prince.
After Lu Siniang rescued him just now, she returned everything to him, except for the jade pendant.
"It's okay, it's okay, let Siniang scare you like this, Lone thought that the little brother was gone."
"Brother Xun'er, don't worry, Siniang will definitely let Brother Xun'er and your little brother grow up safely."
"Hehe, grow up safely, is it the kind that grows strong?"
"Brother Xun'er, you can flirt with women at a young age, how can you get it when you grow up......"
"Siniang, how old are you this year, don't wait for Gu to grow up, you are old."
"Phew, I have no conscience, the slave family has just turned sixteen this year."
Well, the child daughter-in-law who is ten years older, Guo Zongxun thinks that she is still very interesting.
Guo Zongxun was relaxed and happy, while Brother Yelu Xiu and Xiao Yanyan were gloomy and heavy.
After burying the headless body of Yeluhuage, Yeluxiu gave the order to take the main road and go straight to Ningzhou.
They hurried during the day, and at night they went generously to the guest house.
The journey was smooth, and they bypassed towns as they went, which was a non-war zone, and there was basically no check-in at any intersections.
When they were about to approach Ningzhou, they stayed in an inn.
"Brother Hugh, the border must be inspected, this is a bit difficult to do."
"We are all ready to get out of the customs, are you worried that the prince of Zhou is playing with us again, giving us hope all the way, and arresting us back at the last moment, no, our boss doesn't know such a person, you can rest assured."
"The subordinates are worried about the fake documents that have been released once they are discovered......"
Brother Yelu Xiu's heart is actually bottomless, and after following Guo Zongxun for so long, he has never seen the boss play cards according to common sense.
At this time, a subordinate walked in and reported:
"Young master, the villain was feeding the horses in the backyard just now, and I heard something that might help us get out of the customs smoothly......"
