Li Jinyi took the letter and returned to the next place between him and Song Qing, and saw that Liu Tong did not stop, staring at a pair of red eyes, still waiting for him, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why doesn't the virtuous brother stop, there will be another letter coming, waiting for you to send it." ”

Liu Tong said, "What kind of letter is it?" ”

"After the Nine Kings read Brother Song's letter, they wrote a reply and wanted to deliver it immediately."

"Ha, ha, ha......." Liu Tong laughed and said, "Brother Song is really clever. ”

Li Jin said puzzledly: "How do you say this? ”

Liu Tong took out another letter from his arms and said: "When Brother Song gave me the letter, he said that when the Nine Kings read the letter, there will inevitably be a reply, and this reply must have been written by Brother Song Qing, and he has already written another letter, thinking that he should deal with it." ”

Li Jinyi took the letter over, and saw that it was the same as the previous one, all of which were sticky with three chicken feathers and a piece of fish scales, and he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Song." After speaking, he said, "Then Shiro's letter ......?" "Song Qing Xingsi, the brothers all call it Shiro.

Liu Tong grabbed it and didn't look at it, a few handfuls were torn, and then he threw it into the brazier on the side, and then said: "Brother Song said, the less our brother knows about the things in this letter, the better, so don't read it, the second brother just counts the time, I can call back and forth, and just send this letter up." ”

Li Jinyi also responded, first arranged for Liu Tong to rest, and he stayed in the next place for a day, and in the evening, he took the letter and went to the mansion, but as soon as he entered, he was dragged into the lower room by Kuang Xun.

As soon as he entered, Kuang Xun pointed at Li Jinyi's nose and said, "You kid, I didn't help you less in the past, what was that letter yesterday, why don't you tell me first." ”

Li Jinyi said aggrievedly: "The chief manager doesn't know, and even I don't know what that letter is." As he spoke, he took out the letter in his arms and said, "Look, I didn't open this seal, yesterday I only knew that it was Brother Song's letter to his brother, and today I learned that there are still nine kings here." ”

Kuang Xun also asked, seeing that Li Jinyi didn't say anything, he said: "Since you don't lie to our family, then I don't care about you, but you have to wait, Zong Lao Yuanrong is talking to the Nine Kings in the hall, and the Nine Kings specially sent a letter that you are coming, but you can't let Zong Lao Yuanrong see it, so I want you to wait here." ”

Li Jinyi knew more and more that this letter was unusual, otherwise he would not have hidden it from Zong Ze, so he promised to answer and sit here and wait.

After waiting for about an hour, there was a sound of talking outside, Li Jinyi came to the window, and saw Zhao Gou and Zong Ze coming out of the lobby, respectfully sending each other off, and sending them out of the mansion, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Zong Lao Yuanrong has an awe-inspiring aura on his body, which makes people can't help but respect him." ”

Li Jinyi was wandering around there, and Kuang Xun hurriedly came in and shouted, "What are you looking at here, but let's go with our family." After speaking, Li Jinyi went to the lobby to wait, but he went to Tongyu.

After a while, Song Qing and Kuang Xun came out together and said, "Second brother, come in with me." He pulled Li Jinyi into the lobby, but Kuang Xun stayed outside, guarding the door.

As soon as Li Jinyi entered, Zhao Gou greeted him and said, "General Li, has Song An's letter arrived?" ”

Li Jinyi didn't dare to say anything, so he took out the letter and presented it with both hands.

Zhao Gou did not avoid Li Jinyi, so he unfolded the letter and read it

"The minister Song Jiang worships the king, if the king has made up his mind, he can be escorted by Li Jinyi, and he will go to Chenliu, and the minister has his own plan to help the king."

In just a few words, there is nothing behind, which can not only make Zhao Gou understand, but also will not let outsiders misunderstand, but the information in it is very big, Zhao Gou held the letter, looked at it for a while, gritted his teeth, and said to Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan: "Lonely to go this way, but please Wang Qing with me, if the edict arrives, it is easy to act, here will be handed over to Huang Qing and Song Attendant, but everything is covered up, don't let the sect elder Yuanrong know." ”

Huang Qianshan agreed repeatedly, although he and Wang Boyan were both traitors, they were extremely loyal to Zhao Gou, and they also made great contributions to Zhao Gou's ascension to the throne in history.

At that moment, Zhao Gou changed into the clothes of a martial artist, and he followed Li Jinyi out, Li Jinyi was worried, but seeing Zhao Gou's determination, he knew that this matter was too big for him to shirk, so he had to cross a heart, so he came out with Zhao Gou, ordered his subordinates, and opened the north gate in the name of the Nine Great Wangfu Orders overnight, and escorted Zhao Gou all the way to the north.

Zhao Gou is a brave person, the historical records have been in the golden camp with the generals to discuss martial arts, test the bow and arrow, do not fall behind, old to suspect Qin Hui to seek the country, daily sword to the palace, it can be seen how his force is, at this time for the throne, can not care about anything else, just ride a horse, do not complain, follow Li Jinyi gallop, but also urgent, just hope to be able to rush to Chen Liu as soon as possible.

The sky is slightly bright, and it has come out of Yingtianfu for three hundred miles, looking at the near examination city, I saw a team of people standing in front of me, the armor is distinct, arranged neatly, looking from a distance, the strict block in front, Zhao Gou couldn't help but turn pale, and said to Li Jinyi: "General Li, is there a golden soldier in front?" ”

Li Jinyi looked forward, only to feel that the banner on the opposite side looked familiar, but it was far away, and he didn't dare to call it accurate, so he said: "If it is a golden soldier, the minister can also protect you and rush over!" After saying that, he asked the general to protect Zhao Gou, urged the horse forward, and shouted: "Which road is the people and horses in front?" ”

A slightly hoarse voice on the other side responded: "But the Li family brothers?" ”

Li Jinyi's eyes lit up and shouted, "Brother Song! With his shout, a horse ran over from the opposite side, and the person on the horse was Song Jiang, he greeted Li Jinyi, and came to Li Jinyi, and when he was far away, he rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground, pouted his buttocks, and shouted: "Minister Song Jiang, I have seen His Majesty the Nine Kings!" ”

Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows, he could hear that Song Jiang deliberately called the 'Nine Kings highly, and lowered the word 'Your Majesty', and when outsiders heard it, at most they thought that he was calling it wrong, but Zhao Gou could understand that this was Song Jiang expressing his sincerity to him.

Zhao Gou shouted in a soothing voice: "Gongming, please get up quickly." ”

Song Jiang kowtowed again, and then he got up, and Zhao Gou said, "Why is Gongming here?" ”

Song Jiang said respectfully: "When the last general went to Chen Liu, he only took his subordinates' horse army, and the infantry army was led by the generals Shi Bin and Mu Heng, and walked slowly. ”

Wang Boyan said: "Since the test city is in your hands, let the nine kings enter the city to rest first." ”

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "But what he said is true." "At the moment when the two armies were united, they surrounded Zhao Gou and entered the test city, and the officials here had already run out, but Rao was like this, Song Jiang did not enter the county office, but stationed troops at the post station, which would let people pack up the county government and invite Zhao Gou to go in to rest.

Where did Zhao Gou have that thought, as soon as he rested, he asked people to invite Song Jiang, Song Jiang also expected that Zhao Gou would be in a hurry to see him, so he waited outside, and after getting the news, he followed Wang Boyan into the inner office.

As soon as he saw Zhao Gou, Song Jiang bowed again, but this meeting was completely unscrupulous, and he said directly: "Song Jiang greets Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Gou waved his hand and said: "But you can't call it first, you come and talk to me, what do you have to do?" ”

Song Jiang knelt on the ground and said, "King, Song Jiang doesn't dare to say it." ”

"Just say it." Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "My Great Song royal family, I will never treat loyal ministers badly, nor will I disappoint meritorious heroes, Lone has reached this point, even if it is a step back, there is only a dead end, in order to reassure the new emperor, if not, Lone will not come to fight for this throne." ”

Song Jiang said in a deep voice: "The king's words are fallacious, the king is the hope of all the people in the world to revive the Great Song Dynasty, it is with the king that we can see the possibility of the great Song Dynasty, this will be the king fighting, is fighting for the world, and Song Jiang at this time, can only put on his liver and guts and say a word to you!" ”

As he spoke, Song Jiang lowered his head again, fell to the ground and said: "In the past, Tang Taizong missed his brotherhood and refused to attack the prince, but the prince ignored filial piety and wanted to harm Taizong several times. ”

Zhao Gou's face changed slightly, in fact, before he came, he had already thought that Song Jiang was the idea, but when he heard Song Jiang say it, he still had some color change.

Song Jiang bowed his head to the ground, and then said: "The minister has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and learned that Zhao Gong, a native of Xiangzhou, Hebei, has a good martial arts, and is good at writing rice, Cai, Su, and Huang four fonts. ”

Zhao Gou first listened to what Song Jiang said about Zhao Gong, and wondered where the words came from, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but understand what Song Jiang meant, but a few traces of joy flashed in his eyes, if he used this excuse to take down Zhao Zhen, he was not afraid of what people said.

Song Jiang then said: "After Song Jiang got the news the day before yesterday, he asked his subordinates to see Zhao Gong's people to inquire, and sure enough, Zhao Gong was not angry for a while, so he broke into the gold camp with the old general Fang Gong, and it happened that King Xin died in battle, Zhao Gong escaped, Yu Lu killed Zongyan Zongyin, saved Emperor Maode, although he made some contributions, but Zhao Gong was mad, vainly trying for an artifact, so he took out the old Japanese affairs, pretended to write an edict, and asked the nine kings to give an order, just get rid of this thief! ”

Zhao Gou calmed down his mind and said secretly: "This Song Jiang is really good at doing dirty work. But he said: "It's just that although the edict is fake, it is not appropriate to wander outside, I don't know if Song Anfu can get the edict back?" ”

Song Jiang paused for a moment and said: "Emperor Maode is dedicated to the country, since he knows that Zhao Gong is selfish, how can he tolerate it, and he can ask Emperor Ji to find that false edict." ”

Only then did Zhao Gou understand what Song Jiang meant by asking him to come, in addition to him, no matter who used Zhao Fujin to find out the edict, he would face the problem of how to deal with Zhao Fujin, he would already understand how to deal with Zhao Fujin, but he tried not to think about it, just kept silent.

Zhao Gou pondered for a moment, and still said: "It's just that the emperor Ji ...... read this edict." "Others can't say anything, but Emperor Maode was saved by Zhao Zhen, so he is naturally grateful to him, and if he breaks the edict afterwards, it will be difficult to deal with.

Song Jiang still knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor was captured by the Jin people, how can she be willing to give up on herself like this with her chaste temperament, she has long had the will to die!" ”

"Bold!" Zhao Gou shouted angrily, got up suddenly, and looked at Song Jiang coldly, although he thought of it, but it was the same thing to hear it, the anger was not fake, but Song Jiang knelt there like that, as if he didn't hear Zhao Gou's reprimand, and then said: "The minister knows that the king thinks of brotherhood, but his heart is sick and it is difficult to return, and he asks the king not to be too sad." ”

Zhao Gou gradually calmed down, glanced at Song Jiang, and said half-loudly: "You retreat first, you are tired, you have to take a rest." ”

Song Jiang kowtowed goodbye and slowly retreated.
