Chapter 214: The Secret of Twenty Years Ago

"Who's on the roof?!"

Zhao Gou was the first to pay attention to the abnormality, and his perennial life in the army made him develop a keen insight.

He drew his sword and slammed into the house, chasing in the direction from which the sound came.

The dust just now is obviously someone on the roof of the building.

"Could it be that there are assassins?" Li Gang frowned, and said in a heavy tone: "Your Majesty, the only way to do this today is to send the forbidden army to immediately block the four gates of the imperial city, so that the thieves have no way to escape!"

"Makes sense." Zhao Ji waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, follow King Kang, hurry up and block all the four gates, and no one is allowed to go out!"

Zhou Ang had already heard the sound of the imperial study, and when he heard this, he immediately rushed in with someone, and said loudly: "The minister obeys the order, please Your Majesty and relax, the general will let those thieves quickly subdue the law!"

Zhao Ji shouted: "I feel that I sent someone to the Qinglong Hall to protect the three people of the Chu Command, if they are damaged, I will definitely hold people responsible!"

Zhou Ang said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, the minister has already let people go." Then he turned around and went out the door, directing the elite of the forbidden army to go everywhere.

"It's dangerous!" Chu Jianglou hung upside down under a Xuanwu sculpture at the end of the eaves of the Xuanwu Palace, cold sweat flowed down his face, even his eyebrows were almost wet with sweat, and his eyes were even covered with a layer of mist.

Seeing that the crowds of forbidden troops had gone far away, he pressed his right leg against the wall with both hands that were clinging to the tiles, and in an instant he had jumped onto the roof with his strength, and the whole person was attached to the plane, thinking with his breath.

Sweeping around, even though it was already late at night, there were scattered lights flickering around.

Obviously, it was the forbidden army under the command and leadership of the major capitals that launched a heaven-level martial law inspection.

"Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Yang Tengjiao, Liu Qi, Liu Lin, Wu Jie, Wu Phosphorus, Wei Yangyin, ......"

Good guy, King Kang Zhao Gou, plus the eight supremes of the forbidden army are here, Chu Jianglou laughed secretly.

"In order to deal with me a Chu Jianglou, you have worked hard." Chu Jianglou said with a smile, and soon, he just jumped up in the air, and the momentum under his legs skyrocketed, only to see a red light flash from his legs, and he had already jumped out of ten zhang away.

"Who?"

A Praetorian soldier heard the wind and turned sharply to the rear, but saw nothing.

"What nonsense, it's just a crow!" Qiu Yue smashed his fist on the soldier's head and scolded: "I feel like I want to find out the traces of that thief, or Lao Tzu will skin you!"

The soldier was so frightened that he resigned himself to his gun.

At this time, inside the Green Dragon Palace.

"Lord Taiwei, you better go back quickly!" Wang Yu looked at the firelight and shouting from afar on the window paper, and said in a low tone: "It seems that something big happened, and he didn't come on time in Chonglou, just in case, I will go to the forbidden army first!"

Gao Yu said indifferently: "Whatever you want, remember, you must stabilize the situation, you must not expose it, if there is no accident, after a few days, you will clean up Yue Fei and the Seed Master Dao, and the plan will be implemented!"

Wang Yu nodded, and after escorting Gao Yu out, he also led a team of forbidden troops and joined the hunt for the assassins.

At this time, Chu Jianglou had already rushed to the easternmost part of the imperial city.

This is the quietest corner.

With large bamboo forests and clear streams, mixed with the sound of birdsong, this place seems to be a paradise.

Just because, this is the most mysterious place in the whole world.

The secret place of the Great Song Dynasty - the Qilin Palace.

With the help of walls and trees, Chu Jianglou jumped to the roof of the building in a few steps, and after confirming that there was no one around, he uncovered the tiles and jumped onto the beams in the house.

He tried to hide his figure as much as possible, and when he looked around, there was nothing suspicious in the dark hall.

In the hall, except for a few rows of cyan screens by the gate, all of them are bookcases.

The bookcases were blue-black, about a few feet high, and at a glance, there were at least hundreds.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Jianglou squatted down and landed under one of the rows of bookshelves in a jump.

Chu Jianglou casually took a book, opened a few pages and flipped through it, and those messages were already engraved in his mind with his gaze.

The fragrance of ink came to his nose, and after taking a deep breath, Chu Jianglou only felt that his spirit was clearer.

"Map of the military town of the Great Song Dynasty", "Map of the number of troops in Hebei", "Granary Reserve Town" ......

After flipping through several books, those pieces of information had already made Chu Jianglou a little dizzy.

In fact, the impact of this information on him is too great.

I didn't expect that this operation could really go so smoothly!

Chu Jianglou smiled secretly in his heart, as long as he brought these things back, and there was the secret response of hundreds of people in Cangzhou, then the future plan would be invincible!

And if he wants to give all the credit to the four princes this time, presumably the conflict between him and the regent Wanyan Lou will also be greatly alleviated.

Thinking of this, Chu Jianglou packed all those books into the package, but his body did not stop advancing, his gaze still moved from each row of bookshelves, and he did not let go of any of the possible important secrets.

Outside, however, it was silent, and only hurried footsteps and shouting could be heard in the distance, and even the light of the fire could barely be seen.

Presumably those people have already taken the bait, and their eyes are all fixed on the assassin, have they ever thought about the true purpose of the "assassin"?

Thinking of this, Chu Jianglou just shook his head slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

These elites of the Great Song Dynasty are nothing more than that, because of the peace and complacency of being a "strong country" in the past two years, their only bit of combat power has gradually been completely exhausted with time and comfort.

Well?!

Chu Jianglou's gaze stopped from a page in front of him.

This actually records the "Qinglong Change" twenty years ago?

I learned about this matter from the four princes two years ago.

His pupils dilated a little, and he stared intently at the book

"In the first year of Chongning, the emperor died early, when he was six years old, the emperor loved the tenth son very much, was grief-stricken, set up a temple and made a monument in Guangmen Mountain outside the south gate of Tokyo, and was posthumously crowned as the king of Jin."

"The emperor's daughter Ziyuan was born in the first year of Chongning, she was intelligent by nature, five years old, with the wisdom of an adult, through four books and five classics, and knew the principles of governing the country, but she also disappeared in the first year of Daguan, less than six years old."

"The emperor loves this woman very much, and when he heard that the woman was missing, he washed his face with tears all day long, mottled with blood and tears, and did not enter the water and rice for several days, and almost fainted to death, so that the Longxiang camp searched the world, but so far to no avail."

"This ...... These are ......"

Chu Jianglou's hands trembled, and his eyes trembled slightly.

Last time, I still heard from the people of Cangzhou and the golden bullet that the ten princes and Princess Ziyuan were missing.

These two people were indeed in the Green Dragon Palace, and after a lapse of five years, they disappeared and died at the same time!

If it's an accident, it's too coincidental.

According to folk rumors, the princess was kidnapped because she was involved in a palace conspiracy, so her whereabouts are still unknown.

As for the Ten Princes, there is no news.

What if someone disguised as a princess was sent to break into the Han Chinese?

Thinking of this, Chu Jianglou turned a few more pages back, preparing to bring this book back as well.

This is......

Chu Jianglou's eyes were shocked, and the war fifteen years ago was actually recorded on it.

The world-famous - the Battle of Xiakou!

He had heard of it in the Jin Kingdom since he was a child, and it was said that Dong Yuancheng of the Great Song Dynasty rebelled and responded to the Western Xia, so that the original good situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and in the end, the Western Xia captured hundreds of miles of Song land in a row.

Song Huizong promised to send New Year's coins every year, and Western Xia agreed to withdraw from the army.

However, no one knows more detailed information.

Thinking of this, Chu Jianglou forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes carefully studied each page of the record of this battle.

"In the fifth year of Chongning, the emperor did not reign for a long time, personally led an army of 500,000, wanted to unify the northwest, recover the old land, and then fought in Xiakou in Western Xia, the Xia people were defeated and retreated one after another, and the emperor died fifty miles outside Xingqing Mansion."

"The Xia people were defeated, but the governor Dong Yuancheng responded to the Western Xia, attacked the imperial army, and had to return to it, the emperor ordered the Taiwei Gao Yu to attack it, broke it, captured Dong Yuancheng back, and the emperor ordered Gao Yu to poison it, wanting to destroy the nine clans, and the Dong clan has no more people, his two sons, one is missing, and one died in the chaos."

So far, that's all there is to it?

Chu Jianglou closed the book and threw it into the package, and continued to walk towards another row of bookshelves, but he was constantly thinking in his heart.

This Dong Yuancheng is really a traitor?

As Dong Yuancheng's deputy commander of the Western Army, even in the Jin Kingdom, children have heard of his prestige and great military exploits.

It is no exaggeration to say that the princes of the Jin Kingdom grew up listening to Dong Yuancheng's war stories.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Jianglou still didn't have a clue, so he had to give up this idea.

"Huh?!"

Chu Jianglou's eyes shook suddenly.

In front of the side, there is a very obvious figure standing there!

In the next moment, he had already set up his posture, and with a puff he pulled out the Long Ling Sword in his hand, and slowly touched it over there.

Unexpectedly, the figure reacted quickly, and seeing that it was Chu Jianglou rushing over, he quickly turned around and threw the book aside, and swung it with all his strength.

"Boom!"

The violent collision of gold and iron sounded, and Chu Jianglou took three steps back in an instant before he barely stabilized his figure.

The twin swords in the man's hands came out, and after the collision just now, they actually plunged into the hard marble floor, cutting two deep grooves in the ground, helping him stabilize his body.

"You're you again?" Chu Jianglou frowned, and said in a low tone.

That person was the mysterious person Chu Jianglou met in the hotel last time, and he saw that it was not safe to stay in this hall for a long time, so he sneered: "Boy, do you dare to come out and have a showdown?"

"You're welcome, always accompanied." Chu Jianglou replied with a smile.

The man snorted coldly again, and without saying a word, he climbed onto the beam, and his body swelled, and he had already uncovered the tiles and climbed out.

He looked back, only to find that Chu Jianglou had followed him almost at the same time.

"My advice is to stop there." Chu Jianglou said in a calm tone: "We are here for our own interests, we have nothing to do with each other, although this is a remote place, sooner or later the officers and soldiers will know about the fight, in this case, why don't we stop each other?"

"Boy, you're good, but you're a little arrogant." The man sneered, "What's the matter, do you think you can make three moves under my hands?"

Chu Jianglou frowned, and just wanted to speak, but heard a voice coming from afar.

"The thieves are here, brothers hurry up!"

"Don't run away thief, let's all go together!"

That person didn't see the situation right, and he had already slipped away!

And those forbidden troops, under the leadership of Zhao Gou, Zhou Ang, Wang Yu and others, frantically swarmed over here.

This kind of cheap credit of bullying more and less for nothing, naturally no one will want it.

It is only at this time that these officials will have some military enthusiasm.

Of course, if you don't even have this, then it's worthless, how good is it to be a guy in the firehead army?

Chu Jianglou hesitated for a moment, thinking that the purpose of sneaking into the Central Plains this time had almost been completed, and he also used his skills to rush all the way from the top of the building to the city wall, and through the night and weeds, he entered the pre-prepared tunnel, and easily went out of the city.

I have to say that this can go out in the same imperial city surrounded by 50,000 forbidden troops, and it is also thanks to those officers and soldiers.

Hearing that the assassin could be promoted three levels in a row with a bounty of 10,000 taels if he was caught, these soldiers finally moved their noble bodies and followed the chief to the Qilin Palace, which symbolized glory and wealth, and rushed over as if the victims were grabbing rice.

And so, a dramatic scene happened.

The 50,000 forbidden troops in the entire Imperial City, except for a very few people, squeezed in the direction of the Qilin Hall after others shouted for the first time.

It even crowded bridges and roads, and trampled to death and injured hundreds of people on the spot.

Of course, in the vast majority of places it was their officers who took the lead.

Chu Jianglou turned his head to look at the situation behind him, but just shook his head with a sigh.

"Why, you're already there?" Chu Jianglou jumped on a nearby horse, looked at Wan Yanxue not far away, and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, this princess has already planned a retreat for you, but it is specially designed, otherwise you Chu Daxia can come and go like the wind so chic and free every time?" Wan Yanxue snorted lightly: "Don't thank you Princess Ben yet!"

"Okay, good, Xiaomin is grateful, moved to the ground, happy and convinced." Chu Jianglou shook his head with a smile while directing the horse to the north, "How is it, is the princess still satisfied?" ”

"Don't play tricks, you have to compensate me when you go back this time, go to the country for a good look, and make up for the time occupied by the task!"

“……”

"Do you hear that?"

"Yes, yes, where does Xiaomin have an opinion?"

Ten days later, Liangshan.

"I said, big brother, are you really leaving?" Liu Yun asked tirelessly, "Don't rest for a few more days?"

"What Brother Sun Li said makes sense." Tang Bin said with a smile on the side: "It's only been a few days since you came back from Siam, you just want to buy a horse and ask Yang Lin and Xue Yong brothers to go, why bother to go out in person?"

Dong Ping was bored with the snow-white hair of Zhaoye Yu, and the gilt in his hand turned casually, and he said casually: "How can it be so simple, do you know what the brass I want to buy is?"

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't say anything.

"And most importantly."

Dong Ping's brows were completely twisted into a rope, and his tone gradually deepened: "Brother Yue Fei has now been framed by traitors, and the land of Hetao, which could have been recovered, has been taken away by Western Xia, not to mention, even the Marshal of the Seed Master Dao has been implicated and dismissed."

"Liu Yun, you and Hongyu, Sanniang, and Yang Zaixing Shibao, two brothers, come with me to Shaanxi first, if something happens to Pengju, none of those old thieves will survive tonight!"
