Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 41 The Secret Order of the Third Prince of Shi
Although the third prince of Shi did not inherit the eloquence of his father Shi Yi, he inherited his father's vigorous and resolute behavior. After some deliberation, the third prince of Shi asked for some details, and decided to personally lead people to Xiangyang, Jingzhou.
This is naturally Pei Shengqin's idea.
Since Deng Li withdrew from Xiangyang, half of Jingzhou occupied by the former Qin has basically fallen into the hands of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. With the efficiency of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is estimated that it will not be possible to register and resettle the people on these newly "recovered" lands in a year and a half.
Now that the third prince of Shi and his subordinates can completely infiltrate Xiangyang, falsely claim to be the people living in Xiangyang, and start the game in the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a clean identity. Anyway, the yellow book of the people of Xiangyang is still in the hands of Deng Li, the former Qin Xiangyang Taishou, unless the Eastern Jin Dynasty enters Yizhou to catch Deng Li, otherwise this is a matter of death without proof.
Through the Third Prince Shi, Pei Shengqin also learned the latest intelligence on the Jingzhou battlefield, and I have to say that the intelligence collection work under the Third Prince Shi is still very good. Knowing that Jingzhou had fallen and Deng Li had withdrawn into Yizhou, Pei Shengqin was both happy and worried.
Happily, Deng Li is fine, and Pei Shengqin still has a good impression of the hearty "Brother Deng". The worry is, since Jingzhou has fallen, can Yizhou hold it?
If history remains unchanged, Yizhou will naturally not be able to hold it. But it was the collapse of the whole line of the Weishui battlefield, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty transferred all the troops of the Weishui battlefield to Jingzhou and cooperated with the Jingzhou Jin army, which was like a breakthrough to capture Yizhou. Now history has changed, although the water is defeated, the former Qin has not collapsed, and the Qin Emperor is still sitting in Xiangcheng. Without the assistance of the Jin army in Weishui, it is unknown whether the Jin army in Jingzhou can capture Yizhou alone.
"Poetic, father-in-law, and Brother Deng...... Be sure to hold on! I will definitely find a way to support Yizhou as soon as possible! ”
Pei Shengqin's thoughts gradually drifted to the distant Yizhou, thinking in his heart.
"Then let's make a plan like this, Magu, tell me to go down, prepare quickly, let's go south to Jingzhou as soon as possible!"
The third prince said excitedly, as if he had seen a bright road to recovery ahead. The third prince of Shi excitedly shook Pei Shengqin's hand again and said, "Pei Gongzi really has the talent of a national scholar, all the way south, and I asked Pei Gongzi for more advice."
Pei Shengqin was shocked in his heart, and secretly said I just want to support you to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and you still want me to go with you because of your posture? It was not easy for me to escape from the Eastern Jin Dynasty back to the former Qin, I followed you back to the Eastern Jin Dynasty after I went crazy, and my father may still be looking for me all over the world at this time.
Pei Shengqin hurriedly thought about what excuse to excuse himself. At this moment, I heard Magu say: "Lord, there is a reluctant invitation from my subordinates."
"What's the matter with Magu, but it doesn't hurt to say it." The third prince was a little surprised, for so many years, Magu rarely took the initiative to make requests. Although he was politely rejected by Magu just now, the third prince Shi also understood that he still had a lot to rely on Magu, so naturally he would not hold the shelf.
"Pei Gongzi's dedication is indeed a good plan. The lord led people south to enter the Jin Dynasty this time, and according to Pei Gongzi's plan, he will definitely be able to succeed. However......" Magu changed her words and gritted her teeth and said: "My father was killed by Emperor Fu Jian of the violent Qin Jingming, and Magu is a child, so I should think of avenging my father, and ask the lord to allow my subordinates to stay in the Qin Dynasty and find an opportunity to avenge my father!"
The third prince of Shi frowned and said, "Fu Jian has been dead for more than twenty years, how can you take revenge?"
Magu said coldly: "The current Qin Emperor Fu Jian is Fu Jian's nephew, and this account should naturally be counted on him." My father stabbed Emperor Qin, and his subordinates naturally stabbed him too! ”
The third prince of Shi was shocked in his heart, thinking that since ancient times, no matter whether the assassin succeeds or fails, it is difficult to escape death. Even if Ma Qiu succeeds in assassinating Qin, won't he die himself? Magu insisted on assassinating Qin, most of them were also fierce and unlucky, wouldn't he have to lose an arm?
Pei Shengqin was also shocked, feeling that this woman's logic was simply unreasonable, and it had to fight with Xie Daoyun's "locust sweat" logic. Your father assassinated Emperor Huiwu, and Emperor Jingming killed your father in revenge for his father, there's nothing wrong with that. Your father first carried out assassination, killed someone and was caught and paid for his life, where did you have the courage to speak of revenge so righteously?
Pei Sheng Qin was about to open his mouth to persuade Magu to let go of his hatred, this woman has supernatural abilities, if she is determined to assassinate Emperor Qin, maybe she can really find an opportunity by divination.
However, after a moment of thought, Pei Shengqin realized that this was a God-given opportunity for him to get out, so he changed his words and said: "Aunt Ma's heart of avenging her father is very admirable. However, Emperor Qin is supreme, surrounded by tigers, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Magu to have a chance to get close! ”
The third prince of Shi also had the heart to persuade Magu to go south to Jingzhou with him, and even echoed: "Yes, yes, you and I are cloth and grass people on the face of the Qin Dynasty, how can you get close to the Qin Emperor?" Even if you can figure out when the guards around Emperor Qin are lax, it will be difficult to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer. ”
Pei Shengqin was very satisfied with the third prince Shi's assistance, and sure enough, after thinking for a while, Magu locked his eyes on Pei Shengqin, his eyes lit up slightly, and said: "Pei Gongzi has made such a great contribution to the tyrannical Qin, if he goes to Xiangcheng with the triumphant army, he will definitely have the opportunity to meet Emperor Qin!"
Hooked!
Pei Shengqin was secretly happy in his heart, and nodded quietly: "This is natural, this return to Xuzhou is personally greeted by His Royal Highness." If he leads the Tiance army to King Xiangcheng Qin, His Majesty will definitely summon him personally. ”
After a period of negotiation, the plan was redetermined, and the third prince of Shi led people south to Jingzhou to arrange. Pei Shengqin took Magu back to the Tiance Army, and in the future, Magu would follow Pei Shengqin's side, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Emperor Qin.
After discussing, the three of them walked out of the secret room, and Pei Shengqin finally got to see the sun. This seems to be an ordinary courtyard, and the three of them are in the backyard, not far from the low courtyard wall and a wooden door. The third prince said proudly: "There are dozens of secret sentry here, but some people want to break in and die in a moment."
Pei Shengqin looked around, and couldn't see where there was anyone hiding. At this time, I saw a bird flying in the air, and the third prince of Shi lightly high-fived.
Woohoo!
The corpse of the bird that landed was full of sleeve arrows, and Pei Shengqin could only hear the sound of breaking the air from all directions before, but he still didn't find any figures. I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, this group of former dynasty remnants was really a little poundy, fortunately, I didn't plan to run through the door directly......
Pei Shengqin's lips opened slightly, Magu saw it, and without waiting for him to speak, he said lightly: "This place is not far outside Linyi City, yesterday evening, we intercepted you on the official road nearby." Officers and soldiers have searched here, but they have not found any clues. ”
"Thank you, Sister Ma, for telling me." What Pei Shengqin wanted to ask was the time and place, but he didn't think that Ma Gu would know how to meet each other, and he could see what he wanted to say at a glance, and Pei Shengqin was even more vigilant about this woman in his heart.
The third prince of Shi allocated a house for Pei Shengqin, and he had to inform his subordinates in various places before specifying the specific time and route to go south, and he still needed to think about it for a while. As for Pei Shengqin and Magu's journey, Pei Shengqin wanted to leave now and hurry back to Linyi. The third prince of Shi insisted that he stay for a day and leave tomorrow on the grounds that it was getting late.
There are more than ten rooms in the entire courtyard, and it seems that only the third prince Shi, Magu and Pei Shengqin live. Other than that, there is not half a figure in sight. But after the previous Flying Bird incident, Pei Shengqin already understood that an ambush had already been laid here.
"It seems that it is impossible to escape overnight, so I can only take Magu back to Linyi tomorrow. Hmph, what if you can pinch and understand martial arts, returning to Linyi is my territory, are you still afraid of you as a woman! Pei Shengqin said secretly in his heart.
That night, Pei Shengqin was about to fall asleep, but he heard a knock on the door: "The Lord summoned the son to the backyard to meet!"
When the words fell, there was silence outside the door, and the person who had spoken before had already drifted away.
Pei Shengqin pursed his lips, very dissatisfied with Third Prince Shi disturbing his rest, and at the same time very unhappy with the elusive guys under him.
After a long time, Pei Shengqin finally came to the backyard and saw the third prince Shi who was looking at the autumn moon with his hands. The moon in October was very bright, and the third prince of Shi was particularly dusty, revealing a faint atmosphere of pretending.
Pei Shengqin coughed dryly and said, "I don't know what the third prince summoned him late at night, what's the matter?"
The third prince Shi turned around, looked at Pei Shengqin with bright eyes, and said, "Shi called you here to give you a secret order!"
The third prince of Shi took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Shengqin.
By the moonlight, Pei Shengqin could see clearly the lines on this scroll, and the silk paper had already withered and yellowed, and it had probably been put for a long, long time. However, because it is bright yellow, you can't see it if you don't look closely. The lines on it are exquisite and vertical, and there are imprints everywhere, which should be the standard holy decree left by Hou Zhao.
Pei Shengqin immediately guessed that the secret decree of the third prince of Shi must be a very important thing, otherwise he would not have written it with this kind of holy decree. You must know that Hou Zhao has been dead for more than 30 years, and this system of holy decrees is equivalent to a non-renewable resource, and if you use one, you will have one less. Many of these anti-counterfeiting doorways, even if you have money, you can't get them, and you have to make them by professional craftsmen from the Imperial Court Ministry of Industry.
Pei Shengqin held the secret order in his hand and looked at the third prince Shi. Third Prince Shi nodded at him and said, "Young Master Pei might as well open it and take a look."
