Chapter 265: Hunt and Kill (3)

When Grandpa Huo saw Lan Caihe and said that he, Gong Huangxing, and Jing Huijing were criminals in the imperial court and deserved to be executed, he couldn't help but be furious; He stepped forward and pointed his finger at the woman and said, "You demon woman is not a good weapon at first glance!" You rotten chicken-headed toad yawns so much! The three of us are court criminals who resist the holy decree? I don't know what kind of toilet paper you took out of the kennel for that holy decree! My granddaughter came to Xiangwang's Mansion to dance, why did you capture her; Still under the banner of the emperor? Could it be that the emperor is so classless! ”

Grandpa Fire's tone is so hardcore! His words are full of metaphors and scolding for the emperor Zhao Guangyi.

Grandpa Huo scolded the emperor, if it was placed in the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely be sentenced to death; In the Song Dynasty, although there was also the possibility of a death penalty, Grandpa Fire was not afraid with his stunts.

It is only now that the old man seems to understand the true meaning of getting the whirlwind to wrap him and Liu Min in the Xuanji Cave.

It was Liu Min's mother-in-law, Liu Mo, in order to protect her daughter, who deliberately asked Huo Renfu to be her entourage for protection.

In order to perfect the bodyguard role of Huo Renfu, Liu Mo let him get "Xue Li Divine Arm" and "Broad Bean Sleeve Stone" in Xuanji Cave.

Grandpa Huo was 60 years old when he was swept into Xuanji Cave by a whirlwind, and his wife died the year after he left Cypress Forest Village.

Today, Grandpa Huo has left Xuanji Cave for 7 years; The age is 67 years old, but he often practices because of his unique skills; He looks like he's in his early 50s.

After Liu Min matched Grandpa Huo and Granny Shen to become a pair, Grandpa Huo could still share the bed with Granny Shen; Strength does not lose youth.

At this time, Lan Cai and Grandpa Jianhuo spoke disrespectfully; There is a vicious tone of great disrespect for the saint in his words, and he must take this old stick down and behead him.

So he issued a death order to Jiang Qing, Shen Yang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang: "Capture the traitors and take the dynasty as a guide!" ”

Lan Cai and the words of the dog biting chicken eggs made Jiang Qing and his gang of minions suddenly become as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, Jiang Qing waved the Zhengang sword in his hand forward and shouted: "Catch the old stick, the capture will be rewarded!" ”

Seeing that the Lord was about to shout, the minions rushed up and surrounded Grandpa Fire again, but the Pu knife in Grandpa Huo's hand opened the bow left and right; The soldiers who killed the Imperial City Division will be staggered.

Gong Huangxing's pig-killing knife is to chop winter melon on the left and stab the lotus flower on the right; The three-strand fork in Jing Huijing's hand is fleshy, where can Lan Caihe's subordinates resist it.

Grandpa Huo's kung fu is "Xue Li Divine Arm" and "Broad Bean Sleeve Stone", but these two kung fu are both hard and dark; In order to block the water and come to Tutun, Grandpa Huo specially prepared a long-handled Pu knife for himself.

Grandpa Huo doesn't know how to use swords, but he has the foundation of "Xue Li's Divine Arm" as support; Pu Dao swung the windmill round, and the soldiers of the imperial city collided with either broken arms or broken legs.

Where had Lan Caihe seen such a lifeless slave, holding the green snake sword in his hand and wanting to come forward to fight, but he didn't have the guts, so he had to watch his subordinates being cut down.

At the last moment, the eunuch Wang Jien led more than 100 forbidden troops to arrive, and the three of Grandpa Huo suddenly became turtles in the urn.

Wang Jien and Lan Cai and the two groups of people He Wei knocked Grandpa Huo, Gong Huangxing, and Jing Huijing to the ground and tied them up.

The midday sun was a little bit to the west, and the weather in early autumn was still so hot; The big sun hung in the air and barbecued poisonously, and the jungle in the vegetable garden was desperately noisy on the big tree; These shrewd elves seem to be complaining about the three of them.

Knowing the grievances, King Xiang Zhao Heng was naturally angry in his heart, but he was just a prince; Even his own brother Zhao Yuanzuo is probably powerless.

Zhao Heng is 14 years old this year, the same year as Liu Min; In Zhao Heng's mind, his father, Emperor Taizong, was a bit gloomy and moody; If it weren't for his uncle, Emperor Taizu, who made an edict that the ministers of civil and military affairs could not be killed indiscriminately, I don't know how many upright ministers would have died under the butcher's knife of his father.

His father, Emperor Taizong, couldn't help but be moody, and he was very harsh with his nine princes; If the prince is weighed according to his black rod, the one who ends well will be robbed of his heir, and the bad one will be imprisoned or sent to a remote and evil state to die.

Zhao Heng will not forget the tragedy of his uncle's son Zhao Dezhao committing suicide, when Zhao Heng was 11 years old.

After Zhao Heng was born, he was favored by his uncle Zhao Kuangyin, and lived in his uncle's mansion for a period of time; Zhao Dezhao is very beautiful and kind in Zhao Heng's mind, but such a cousin who is about to ascend the throne as the emperor died unexpectedly.

Zhao Dezhao's death was not unrelated to his father Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng thought so at the time.

Zhao Dezhao's mother is Song Taizu's original wife, Mrs. He, Zhao Dezhao has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is deeply loved by Song Taizu; At the age of twelve, according to the practice of the previous dynasty, the prince went out of the cabinet to be crowned king.

However, Song Taizu considered that his younger brother Zhao Guangyi participated in the Chenqiao Mutiny with him in his early years, and the Great Song Dynasty soon served as Kaifeng Yin; and Prime Minister Zhao Pu are his right-hand men.

In order to take care of his younger brother's emotions and the stability of the Great Song Dynasty; Song Taizu did not give his son the title of king, but only the title of Guizhou defense envoy.

However, as time passed, Zhao Dezhao gradually became sensible as he aged; The knighthood is also getting higher and higher.

In the sixth year of Kaibao, Zhao Dezhao was named Xingyuan Yin, Shannan West Road Festival Envoy, Taifu of the Inspection School, and Pingzhang of the Tongzhong Shumen.

Except for the loss of a prince, Zhao Dezhao's status is no different from that of his uncle Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Dezhao's high position will naturally arouse Zhao Guangyi's vigilance; Zhao Guangyi has long had the ambition to become self-reliant, and he will not be willing to let the power and status he has been operating for many years be taken away by others; So he planned to kill his brother.

In the ninth year of Kaibao, Song Taizu ordered the Northern Expedition, and his henchmen and generals were sent to Taiyuan to attack the Northern Han; Zhao Guangyi conspired with the eunuch Wang Jien, the palace maid Lan Caihe, and the imperial physician Cheng Dexuan to kill Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Guangyi called the emperor In order to appease the people, he continued to call the two sons of Song Taizu the prince; In fact, Zhao Guangyi has always been uneasy about several nephews, especially his eldest nephew Zhao Dezhao.

In order to consolidate his throne, in 979 AD, Song Taizong launched a war of extermination against the Northern Han Dynasty shortly after becoming emperor.

At the beginning of the war, it went very well, and Zhao Guangyi seemed to have seen his vision of sitting alone in the world; But the situation took a 360-degree turn at a critical moment, the Liao army fought back, and the Song army fled in disarray; Song Taizong grabbed a donkey cart and picked up a life.

Zhao Guangyi's defeat took the blame on himself, and he stabbed himself in the eye with his fist.

Originally, after the Song army destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, the imperial court should reward the victorious division of the three armies as agreed.

However, Song Taizong, who had no military experience, tasted the fruits of victory in the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty and was full of confidence; He ordered to continue the attack on Liao.

The Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty were not on the same level at all, and the Northern Han Dynasty was just a secessionist regime entrenched in Shanxi, with few troops and horses.

The Liao State is vast, and there are millions of cavalry alone; What's more, Liaojingzong Yeluxian pays attention to the study and research of Han culture, and knows Sun Tzu's art of war very well, while Song Taizong's insistence on the Northern Expedition can only be to touch stones with eggs.

Sure enough, the Song army was killed by the Liao army's counter-encirclement after besieging Youzhou City; Song Taizong was caught in an arrow and fled disguised as a common man.

After the defeated Song army gathered, the generals could not find the emperor; Some of Song Taizu's confidants and generals proposed that the three armies should not be left without owners for a day, and the emperor might die in the chaos; Zhao Dezhao is the son-in-law of the first emperor, so it is better to let him be the master of the three armies.

So, that night, Zhao Dezhao held a simple enthronement ceremony in the military camp; But after dawn the next day, Song Taizong returned in a donkey cart.

This is embarrassing, if Zhao Dezhao is very strong, Song Taizong should be arrested; said that Zhao Guangyi killed the three armies and was not worthy of being a king, or claimed that he had some father's edict and his uncle killed his father, and so on, which caused Zhao Guangyi to die.

It's a pity that Zhao Dezhao is as kind-hearted as his father Song Taizu, and when he saw his uncle coming back, he took the initiative to give up the right to send troops.

Song Taizong knew about the changes in the army, and he was extremely annoyed; However, Zhao Guangyi's scheming was deeper than Zhao Dezhao's after all, and he suppressed his anger and declared that he would not care about the establishment of a new monarch.

I am afraid that this is Zhao Guangyi's plan to delay the army, but Zhao Dezhao didn't know that the disaster was coming.

After the return of the army, Song Taizong delayed awarding awards to the soldiers of the three armies.

The generals all said that although the Northern Expedition to Liao was defeated, it was a victory in the Northern Han Dynasty! You can't just because the emperor blindly commanded and lost the battle and didn't give us a bonus for attacking the Northern Han Dynasty!

Some generals did not dare to see Song Taizong themselves, so they instigated Zhao Dezhao to go.

Zhao Dezhao has always been considerate of his subordinates and has not made too much ideological preparation; So he ran to see his uncle.

Zhao Guangyi was furious when he heard this, and scolded Zhao Dezhao: "You still have the heart to ask for a reward!" When you ascend the throne and become emperor on that day, reward yourself!"

After Song Taizong finished speaking this hurtful sentence, he also said some threatening words; Zhao Dezhao was frightened enough, and after leaving the hall, he looked for a knife to commit suicide.

The palace maids all said that there was no knife, so Zhao Dezhao found a knife to cut off his neck.

When Song Taizong heard the news of his death, he ran over crying all the way; picked up Zhao Dezhao's body and said, "Silly boy, why are you so stupid!"

Zhao Dezhao committed suicide, although he died a terrible death; but saved his wife and children.

Zhao Heng thought about Zhao Dezhao being forced to death by his father, and couldn't help but tremble; His character is already weak, and in the face of Grandpa Huo's three being captured by the forbidden army led by Wang Jien, Lan Caihe, as long as he sighs; There is no courage to argue.

Wang Jien and Lan Caihe asked their subordinates to escort Grandpa Huo, Gong Huangxing, and Jing Huijing, and carried the soldiers with broken arms and legs out of the back door of Xiangwang's Mansion; After walking more than a mile, I saw a black pine forest appear in front of me.

Lan Caihe and Wang Jien did not pay attention to the danger lurking in the black pine forest, and urged the officers and soldiers to hurry away.

I didn't go far, but I saw three masked people jumping down from the big pine tree overhead, killing and chopping indiscriminately.

Lan Caihe and Wang Jien were both poked and stabbed to the ground, and a sturdy masked man saw Lan Caihe being poked over; rushed forward and stabbed him and killed him; The vigorous man killed Lan Caihe and went to Wang Jien, but this guy was fled.

Grandpa Huo saw three people rushing down from the big tree knocking Lan Caihe and Wang Jien to the ground, and hurriedly broke free from the shackles on his body; and cut the rope that bound Gong Huangxing and Jing Huijing.

The three of them were freed, grabbed their weapons and cooperated with the three masked men to fight and flee into the depths of the black pine forest......
