Not long after, the horse team that went back to chase Jingniang came back and caught up with Zhao Kuangyin and others.

Shi Shouxin immediately stepped forward and said: "I didn't catch up, that girl ran south from the edge of the city with people, we didn't dare to continue chasing, so we had to come back first." ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, slapped his thigh and said in frustration: "If I knew this, I should have asked Zhao Pu to burn it quickly!" Before, everything was urgent, and I didn't expect to lose it, so I ignored it. ”

"Brother, what's in that baggage?" Shi Shouxin asked.

Zhao Kuangyin: "......"

At this moment, there was a sudden "plop" sound, and when everyone looked back, they saw Zhao Pu fall under the horse, screaming in pain and pressing his hand on the upper side of his thigh, and a pair of pants had been soaked with blood.

Zhao Kuangyin and the others hurriedly reined in the horse, turned around and came to Zhao Pu, and he couldn't ride a horse in front of him. Zhao Pu was sweating profusely, raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, give me a sword!" ”

"What are you doing with your weapons?" Zhao Kuangyin asked casually.

Zhao Pu said: "I can't go, and following the lord can only become a drag!" The lord has the grace of knowing me, and today I have to repay the favor with my life. ”

Zhao Kuangyin's face was very sad when he heard this, but he couldn't hack Zhao Pu to death in front of his brothers. Originally, it was not easy for everyone to be willing to run away with him, especially this part of the pro-soldiers who came out, if he was too ruthless, he was afraid of chilling people's hearts.

At the moment, he was so sad that he wanted to cry, and while unsheathing his sword and throwing it on the ground, he sighed helplessly: "Now that you can't go, if you are caught, it will be worse than death, so this is the case." ”

Zhao Pu nodded and said: "The success is successful, I hope the lord will not forget the words of 'the heavens will descend on the great task'!" Brother, I'll get ready and hit the road first. ”

Zhao Kuangyin hugged his fists on the horse and bowed, and rode away with tears.

The group ran wildly along the road until it was dark. They didn't dare to live in a post house, not to mention that they didn't happen to encounter a post house after dark, and in order to run fast, they naturally didn't carry tents and other sleeping baggage.

Fortunately, a ruined temple was found on the side of the road, and everyone settled in it.

The brothers lit a fire in a room that leaked on all sides, only to see cobwebs everywhere, a mud bodhisattva that had long been abandoned and no one cared about, let alone incense. Zhao Kuangyin sat down and exhaled, as if he had a nightmare for a while.

It's just one day. In the morning, he was still a prominent figure in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he ...... I saw a thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard outside the broken temple, and there were residual leaves floating in the air, and the autumn wind was cool for a while, and the scene I saw in front of me was really an indescribable desolation.

Zhao Kuangyin has been in the army since the Later Han Dynasty, and being a military general is his livelihood, although he was unknown in the early stage, he has accumulated fame and connections. After the Battle of Gaoping, this accumulation was finally sublimated, and he began to make his fortune...... Then came three or four years of hard work. He felt that he was doing a good job, and his strength and status were also expanding rapidly, which was the east wind that took advantage of the Zhou Dynasty's continuous southern and northern wars to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Long-term operation, but not worth a miss!

"Ugh." Zhao Kuangyin looked at the bleak scene outside, full of despair in the bleakness of the autumn wind. But he was very unwilling, this failure could only be regarded as a miss, and his strength was inferior.

The crowd was depressed and silent. Zhao Kuangyin recalled before the fire, and felt more and more that the great cause had reached the point of reach...... Zhang Yongde's connections and management are completely inferior to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin's military rank is slightly lower, and it is only lower than Zhang Yongde.

If nothing happens, he just needs to stay up step by step and get to the top of the mountain. Who knew that two Cheng Biting Jin would be killed halfway and everything would be ruined!

At this moment, Shi Shouxin asked in a low voice: "If the people in the court can't catch us, they won't dare to touch our families?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin came back to his senses and nodded slightly: "It stands to reason that this is the case." If we are still outside, but they kill our family members, since we cannot cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, they will only increase hatred, it will not help, and it will not seem to have the courage to tolerate people...... (Later) the king of the Han Dynasty slaughtered the entire family of Taizu of this dynasty, but failed to get rid of Taizu and the official family, what was the result? ”

Shi Shouxin listened and said: "It makes some sense, but now I can only think like this, there is no way." ”

Wang Xianqi said: "Let's go straight to the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty)?" What to do next? ”

"It's not over yet!" Zhao Kuangyin said coldly.

In this kind of moment of failure, if he is alone, it will definitely be difficult for Zhao Kuangyin to recover his emotions; But the brothers chatted together, and Zhao Kuangyin's attention shifted slightly, so he didn't feel miserable. He suddenly realized one thing: he was just thirty years old!

It has only been more than three years and less than four years in the Zhou Dynasty, and there are still many opportunities at the age of thirty.

Zhao Pu's voice seemed to linger in his ears, "The sky will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds." Zhao Kuangyin looked back and said: "Regroup from today!" ”

"Brother?" Several people looked back at him together.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were glowing with the brilliance of a bonfire, he clenched his fists and said, and suddenly shouted: "No one can tell me to admit defeat!" ”

…… The horse team that wanted to follow the route of Zhao Kuangyin's department found Zhao Pu halfway and arrested him.

Zhao Pu is not dead yet, and he strangled his thigh with a strip of cloth to stop the bleeding. He originally wanted to sanction and apologize, but he really couldn't do it. Anyway, you are dead left and right, and it is the same as being killed by your opponent...... What if they don't kill?

Zhao Pu didn't want to betray the lord, and he was very uncomfortable if he failed, but victory or defeat was determined, and he was helpless.

He had always been very diligent, and at night he often imagined what it would be like after victory...... During this time, I thought that Guo Shao's wife, Fu Ermei, was beautiful and fragrant, and maybe she could taste it. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely kill Guo Shao, but the widow Fu Second Sister left by the Guo family is the daughter of King Wei of Hebei, and she must not be made public**; Zhao Pu had already figured out a way, saying that this woman was harboring evil intentions and hatred, and then forced her to become a monk and put her under house arrest. After being isolated from the world, you can do it quietly, and when you have played enough, she will be "sick to death", and no one knows.

Alas, how could he not sincerely help Zhao Kuangyin?

But all these dreams turned into daydreams with failure, and the reality was that he was reduced to a prisoner. At this time, Zhao Pu had been taken to the imperial city and detained in the military camp of Xuanyoumen. It was getting late, but soon I heard that Guo Shao had arrived overnight.

…… Guo Shao walked in, there was an old man beside him, he glanced at Zhao Pu at the moment, turned around and said, "Imperial Doctor Wang, you can show him the injury, but he can't die." ”

Zhao Pu was silent. Guo Shao was in a good mood, stepped forward to stroke his back, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, don't be afraid, take care of your injuries first." ”

Zhao Pu was stunned when he heard this, but he still looked very afraid. Maybe Guo Shao's smile is not good, a bit like a wicked smile.

Guo Shao was in a good mood, and he already felt that his whole body was relaxed. As soon as Zhao Kuangyin runs away, the situation in Tokyo will soon calm down, and it is a pity that he was not caught; I wasn't sure that he was going to run, but I really didn't dare to transfer too many people, and the movement was too loud, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to run and it was more troublesome...... Fortunately, he caught Zhao Pu, but it was a surprise from Jing Niang.

This Zhao Pu is Zhao Kuangyin's henchman, and he knows everything about the Zhao family, and as long as he makes good use of it, he can play a great role. Zhao Kuangyin's physical body ran away, but he can be called "mental death", Guo Shao wants to make him ruined, and he never wants to have a chance to turn over in the Zhou Dynasty...... Zhao Pu is the key person who can be tapped.

Guo Shao took the package from Jing Niang's hand, stepped back, took out a ball of yellow things from it, and suddenly shook! Suddenly, a dragon robe was displayed.

Zhao Pu was shocked.

Guo Shao stepped forward and put the dragon robe on Zhao Pu's body, Zhao Pu was in a hurry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to refuse: "No!" I don't wear ...... What does General Guo mean? ”

Guo Shao didn't force him, and stroked his back cordially: "This thing was taken from you in public." People get stolen goods, and it is light to destroy your whole family? Maybe you can punish the nine clans, and no one will speak for you; Teachers, classmates, neighbors, and distant relatives who preach and teach you will be killed! ”

Zhao Pu's body trembled very much.

"Of course, such an ending is not good for me." Guo Shaodao.

Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "General Guo, what are you going to do next?" As long as you can. ”

Guo Shao was very satisfied after hearing this, handed the yellow robe in his hand to Jing Niang to put it away, sat down on a chair, and said: "Mr. Zhao often enters Zhao Kuangyin's mansion, and I heard that he often stays in Zhao Mansion, and he is his cronies and advisers. You must know a lot about Zhao Mansion, so think about it first, tomorrow I will send Jing Niang over, how about you talk to Jing Niang? ”

Zhao Pu's face turned pale, and he said helplessly: "I think about it, and the things that can be recalled must be explained clearly." ”

Guo Shao listened, nodded with satisfaction, and went out with Jing Niang, and when he saw the imperial doctor, he said: "The imperial doctor of the king of labor will treat him." ”

The imperial doctor hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "General Guo rest assured." The old decay heard that it was a sword wound, a sharp weapon wound in the thigh, and the best way to prevent excessive blood loss and death; The old man glanced at it just now, and the man could still speak after the bleeding stopped, and it was no big deal. ”

Guo Shao was very happy when he heard this, so he said goodbye and left Xuanyou Gate.

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin ran away, and then "hacked" him, the situation in Tokyo was completely controlled. The front division of the palace and the army of the guard division are divided into forces, and no one can no longer have the influence to organize too many soldiers and horses to resist the center...... Only Zhang Yongde has the highest prestige, but he doesn't seem to have any ambitions, and he has lacked management in the high position of the forbidden army for many years, so he has not specially installed his henchmen.

Guo Shao asked: "Did the privy envoy Wang Pu write a letter to Zhang Yongde, did Zhang Yongde enter the imperial city?" ”

The left and right are mainly Jingniang, Lu Chengyong, and Luo Mengzi, they all said that they hadn't heard of it, Luo Mengzi said: "I haven't seen a general enter the palace anyway." ”

Guo Shao looked up at the night sky, the sky was full of stars as soon as the sky was clear, and he muttered for a moment: "Wang Pu and Wei Renpu should live in the Privy Mansion, and they didn't go home at night." The third brother sent someone to ask about it, but Zhang Yongde had been here. ”

Luo Mengzi replied with a fist.
