Xiao Rui was a little disappointed that he couldn't get useful clues from Liang Haonan, but the old and cunning king of Ruyang was so easy to find out his fox tail!

At the same time, the disappearance of Liang Haonan, the new marquis, also caused panic in the imperial capital of Zhao Guo, no matter how to say that the Marquis of Ruiyong's mansion is also heavily guarded, and they are all forbidden army-level guards, in this case, they can be robbed, so are other dignitaries and dignitaries?

Emperor Zhao was even more furious, and ordered the whole city to search and arrest, door to door, as long as there were problematic outsiders to investigate one by one, they must not be let go. This is a slap in the face, just after the rebellion ended, his most important general had an accident, and this face beat him with a cheerful rhythm.

Xiao Rui and his entourage have been in the imperial capital for more than a month, and they are very careful in and out during this time, but they can't stand seven big men renting a house, even if Ah Zhu has entered the palace now, there are still six big men, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and others don't know how to guess when they see it.

Either you really know how to play, or you have a problem!

So for the sake of safety, Xiao Rui and the others were ready to change their residences, and there was a manor under the name of Chuan Jianguo, which was relatively hidden, and it was hung in the name of the right attendant of his ministry, and the Taiping Guards did not dare to search indiscriminately, so Xiao Rui and the six of them moved over.

Xiao Rui also met Comrade Chuan Jianguo for the first time, and was a little disappointed, and fantasized that he had a flowing golden retriever, and he directly boasted proudly when he met: No one knows better than me about lurking in enemy countries.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Xiao Rui did not reveal his identity and disguised himself as an accompanying secret agent.

……

Qishan County.

Chang Shenghou's army had already captured most of Qishan County, and within ten days, Qishan County was all in the hands of Great Xia.

A few days ago, Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan suddenly received information sent by Duan Wang Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng had taken the three counties in the north of Zhao State, the speed was very fast, he was preparing to go south to meet Changsheng Hou, and completely divide this piece of Zhao territory into the territory of Great Xia.

In addition, Duanwang Xiao Feng also pointed out in the letter that the crown prince served as the imperial historian of the right capital instead of His Majesty, and he naturally wanted to come to visit.

This made Tian Boyuan a little flustered, now the prince in the military camp is fake, if King Duan comes, wouldn't it be exposed?

Therefore, he immediately forbade Duanwang Xiao Feng to come on the grounds that military affairs were important and the commander was not allowed to leave the army without authorization. Tian Boyuan was the general of Zhao and was fully responsible for the war, and his orders must be obeyed by King Duan.

But what if King Duan relied on his status as a prince and did not comply?

Tian Boyuan was a little worried.

At this time, Duanwang Xiao Feng was stationed in Songshan County, and he was sitting in the camp of the Chinese army, holding a letter sent by Tian Boyuan, the Marquis of Changsheng.

Chang Shenghou forbade him to visit the crown prince Xiao Rui on the grounds that he was not allowed to do anything, this reason seemed very convincing, but it further verified Xiao Feng's guess.

He clenched his hands sharply and crumpled the paper into a ball.

"Xiao Rui! You're not in the army! ”

Xiao Feng sneered, and actually guessed the truth.

"My spies who stayed in the army of Chang Shenghou said that you are all right, and I can often see you inspecting the army, but I know you, are you a person who can't stand loneliness? Now you are too honest and too conformist. And I'm going to see you, and you don't say a word, do you say that there are no ghosts? What's more, the soldiers and horses of Great Xia can only attack the Qi River, not cross the river, so you can't take revenge! Didn't your father agree to let you come to the prison just so that you could avenge your mother? So, you must have gone to the imperial capital of Zhao! ”

When Xiao Feng muttered to himself, his eyes were filled with tears.

"If you want revenge, I will take revenge! My mother will never hang herself, you must have sent someone to do it! ”

Muttering to the end, Xiao Feng was already gritting his teeth, and his face was full of ruthlessness and determination.

"There is no family affection on the road to the throne! Killing brothers and fathers abounds, I can get rid of the king of Chu, what does it matter if I kill another prince? There were more brothers who died at the hands of my father back then, but my father was too smart, so many princes died, and no dirty water was splashed on me, so I should learn from my father. ”

Immediately, he summoned his henchmen and sent someone to send a secret letter to the imperial capital of Zhao.

Two days later.

This secret letter was placed on Emperor Zhao's dragon case.

"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! The crown prince of Xia Kingdom lurked in the imperial capital, and no one noticed it! It's all a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, and they can't catch up with the heat when they eat! Emperor Zhao roared.

Unfortunately, there were only three people in the huge palace.

Emperor Zhao, the newly appointed chief eunuch, and an old man.

Emperor Zhao looked at the old man and asked, "Can you find him?" ”

The old man shook his head and said: "The prince's rebellion and the disappearance of Marquis Rui Yong, Your Majesty has closely searched the imperial capital to check for any suspicious persons, but there has been no result so far, it can be seen that Xiao Rui is hiding very deeply, I suspect that he has joined up with the secret agent placed by Emperor Xia in the imperial capital and hid in the secret agent's house, so the search has been fruitless!" ”

Emperor Zhao said angrily: "Secret agent, Emperor Xia's secret agent and the official who was bribed by the eldest princess back then are two thorns stuck in my throat!" I have ordered the Nine Yin Forbidden Army to secretly investigate for so many years, but I can't even sweep it away, and now it seems that some people are already in high positions. ”

The old man nodded and said: "Emperor Xia's methods are amazing, I have only found out that this secret agent agency is called Xichang so far, and nothing else has been found, it is possible that these secret agents have not been used for many years, just like the ordinary people and officials of Zhao State, if they don't show their feet, they naturally can't find out." ”

Emperor Zhao nodded and asked, "Then do you have a way to find Xiao Rui?" ”

"Your Majesty, I just arrived in the imperial capital, so it's not appropriate to show my face." The old man laughed.

Zhao Huang said: "I didn't let you show up, but made suggestions, you are so smart, there must be a good way!" ”

The old man sighed: "If you are smart, you don't have to cheat to death, fortunately, I found a stand-in by chance." ”

"Are you sure you've been hiding it from your grandson?" Zhao Huang asked.

The old man nodded and said, "Hatred will make him grow faster." ”

Emperor Zhao sighed and said, "You came to Zhao from the Xia Kingdom, so you went to the Qin Kingdom for me, and you have just come back after a few busy months, so you have worked hard." ”

The old man arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty protects me, this is what I should do." Although the Qin State has already captured Changping County, I have gained a lot from this trip to the capital of the Qin State, and there will be an accident in the Qin State soon! Now the only way to stop the pace of the Qin State is to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle. ”

"Good! If there is an internal accident in the main Qin State, then I will be able to fight back, as long as the Qin army is expelled, the situation of the Zhao State will be stabilized, and I can concentrate on dealing with the Xia army! Emperor Zhao's face was happy.

The old man had a smile on his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Subsequently, the topic returned to how to find out Xiao Rui.

The old man said: "Your Majesty, since Xiao Rui is very deeply hidden, and there are clever strategists around him, it is impossible to find it in secret, so it is better to directly startle the snake, and I will draw a portrait of Xiao Rui, and then directly announce it, and strictly investigate the entire imperial capital, any mansion of dignitaries and nobles must be searched, and at the same time, a high reward, if anyone reports the first merit, no matter what the identity, the peddler pawn will also directly give the status of the lord, and reward ten thousand taels of silver, with the power of the people of the imperial capital to search Xiao Rui, there may be an unexpected joy, and the money is moving." ”

"Good! Someone came to announce to the people of the imperial capital, if anyone finds Xiao Rui, the prince of Xia Kingdom, he will be directly crowned an earl and rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver! Emperor Zhao immediately issued an order.

The old man said again: "Secondly, Xiao Rui's purpose in coming to the imperial capital is to assassinate His Majesty, so I have to guess whether the rebellion of the abolished prince has anything to do with Xiao Rui!" ”

Emperor Zhao immediately sat upright, frowning, and said: "Before the abolished prince rebelled, not only did he kill King Rui, but even King Lin and King Yin did not let go, even his crown princess!" I never understood why he did this! Unfortunately, the guards who knew about the situation at that time were all executed, and I didn't think it through and didn't leave anyone alive. ”

The old man said again: "Since there is no way to investigate, let's change the angle." Your Majesty, Xiao Rui's purpose here is to assassinate Your Majesty, since it is to assassinate Your Majesty, then the most direct question arises, how to get close to Your Majesty! His Majesty's meals have been checked and tasted at various levels, and there is no chance in terms of diet. During the day, he handled government affairs in the Golden Palace, and the forbidden army was heavily guarded, and he could not get close. In this way, only when His Majesty goes back to the harem to rest, it is the only way for him to do it. I suggest checking all the eunuchs, palace maids, and female officials in the harem, and check first to see if there are any people who have problems! In addition, inform your Majesty of the various dormitories where he may be resting, and check if anything suspicious has happened recently. Secondly, when His Majesty rests, he must let the forbidden army strengthen its defenses. ”

"It makes sense, I forgot about the harem." Emperor Zhao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the chief eunuch to arrange it.

The old man said again: "Secondly, Your Majesty likes to take pills, and pills contain erysipelas, so you must also check them in the hospital!" Avoid Xiao Rui from touching the alchemist and poisoning the elixir! ”

"Haha, with you here, I can sit back and relax." Emperor Zhao said with relief.

The old man said humbly: "Your Majesty Liao praised." ”

"By the way, you said that Liang Haonan disappeared, was it also Xiao Rui's doing?" Emperor Zhao suddenly thought of the Marquis Rui Yong, whom he had just canonized.

The old man nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, he did it, and I guess that Xiao Rui's purpose in capturing Liang Haonan was to suspect that he was the son of Xiao Conghu, the king of Ruyang. It happened that Commander Liang brought back an adopted baby, and the age difference was not enough, so it was natural to be suspicious. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Huang snorted coldly: "When I was calculated, I was angry when I thought about it, and I didn't mention it." ”

The old man continued: "Your Majesty, the Qin State that Commander Liang went with me is also back now, Liang Haonan estimates that there is more than one bad luck, and Commander Liang is sad to lose his son in his later years, and he must take revenge, since this is the case, then use him as bait to see if he can lure out Xiao Rui, and just give him the task of capturing Xiao Rui!" ”

"Great idea!" Emperor Zhao was overjoyed.

The old man said with a smile: "Just now Your Majesty has issued an order to search the imperial capital, in my opinion, you can postpone it, let Commander Liang lead the snake out of the hole first, and if the other party is cunning, then the whole city will be searched." ”

Emperor Zhao nodded, and immediately sent someone to call Liang Haonan and his father.

The old man bowed his hand, and when he walked out of the Golden Palace, the sun shone on his face, if Xiao Feng was here, he would definitely be shocked and dumbfounded, how could his self-hanged grandfather be here!

That's right, the old man is none other than the British duke, Huang Qilin!

Who would have thought that the self-hanged Huang Qilin had long ago met a man with a face similar to him, and imprisoned this person in case of emergency. Unexpectedly, the act of taking precautions really came in handy.

He deceived himself to death and stayed in the shadows.
