Chapter 280: Arriving at Gangneung

That night, Yue Lei took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards outside, quietly climbed out of the courtyard wall, ran to Li Gang's house, and informed Li Gang of the fact that his father Yue Fei was taken away by the Criminal Department today, and asked Li Gang to find a way to rescue.

Li Gang was worried, Yue Fei had already been grounded by the emperor, and Qin Hui still didn't let him go. Qin Hui's hand has been stretched farther and farther, and he must find a way to cut off his hand.

Li Gang hurriedly took a sedan chair, intending to enter the palace to face the saint. It was in front of the palace gate, and the palace was closed at this time, and there was no hope for the emperor.

There was no way, Li Gang could only go home.

If he went to Qin Hui's mansion to question Qin Hui, he would definitely have various reasons to prevaricate. This path doesn't work either.

Li Gang, as the prime minister of the dynasty, could not find anyone who could help solve the problem at a critical time. He hurried so weak.

Li Gang was in an irritable mood, lifted the curtain, and just saw Lu Ji's mansion outside.

Li Gang thought about it, asked the servant to stop the sedan chair at the door of Lu Ji, and went in alone to meet Lu Ji.

Lu Ji was very surprised when he saw Li Gang visiting late at night, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, why are you so anxious?" ”

"Master Lu, the old man asks you, as a sworn brother of King Xiang, why do you never come forward to intercede for King Xiang's affairs?" Li Gang entered the room and sat down, and asked with a grimace.

Lu Ji said helplessly: "King An and all the princes are powerless, I am soft-spoken, what use can I do?" ”

Li Gang said angrily: "Why is it useless, no matter how small the sesame seeds are, they are still food!" ”

Li Cailian brought tea and snacks to Li Gang at this time, how could Li Gang be in the mood to drink tea and eat snacks, he glanced at the tea angrily, and didn't want to eat it at all.

Li Cailian comforted Li Gang and said: "King An will drink a cup of tea first to dissipate his anger." Tell me bluntly, it is useless to even intercede between the prince and the princes, it is definitely not Qin Hui's idea alone, the one behind it is the real trouble! ”

The person behind Li Cailian is not the current emperor Zhao Gou.

Li Gang thought about it carefully, he was a fan of the authorities, and he didn't see through this layer.

He said: "However, the emperor trusts King Xiang so much, why does he connive at Qin Hui to engage in these actions below? ”

"According to my inference, the emperor may not really want to kill King Xiang, but it is somewhat possible to be afraid of King Xiang's high achievements and the world only knows that King Xiang does not know the saint." Li Cailian sat on the other side of Lu Ji and said, "The emperor's move is mainly to beat these people centered on King Xiang!" ”

Li Gang asked, "How did you know?" ”

"I guess." Li Cailian said truthfully.

Li Gang was a little frustrated. Although Li Cailian said that it was a guess, it was not unfounded. The Jerod banner is the most typical example.

Li Gang sighed and said, "The most important thing is that the people of Xiangwang are not here. Now the emperor is not entangled in the overseas garrison of King Xiang, but focuses on the case of the murder of the first emperor. Because of this incident, Mu Guogong was dragged to the Criminal Department by Qin Hui today, and he has not returned to his house yet! ”

Lu Ji and Li Cailian looked at each other in surprise and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"yes. The old man is worried that Yue Fei will become the next Zhang Xian! Li Gang said sadly.

Li Cailian said: "Don't worry, General Yue, I will find a way." In addition, I have already sent my former disc room subordinates to collect evidence everywhere, as long as King Xiang returns, maybe he can turn things around! ”

Lu Ji also said: "Yes, the most important thing for us at the moment is that everyone calms down and doesn't get caught by Qin Hui anymore." Otherwise, he will have to engage in his own set of nonsense out of nothing. ”

Li Gang thought to himself, the personnel in the disc room can defeat the Jin Kingdom, and if they deal with Qin Hui, they should be able to capture it.

Li Gang gradually calmed down and said, "Then there is General Lao Li." ”

Xiao Lu took Han'er, escorted by Wu Zhishen and five hundred elite soldiers, and hurried all the way from Shanyan to the capital. The fetus in the womb is almost five months old, and the belly is getting bigger day by day, even if it is sitting in a sedan chair, but it can't stand the bumps on the road, and after walking for a long time, it is very uncomfortable.

Xiao Lu opened the sedan curtain and asked Wu Zhishen: "Zhishen, where is it?" ”

Wu Zhishen saw that Xiao Lu's face was ugly, so he raised his hand to signal the team to stop and rest in place for the time being.

"There are still ten miles ahead, and we should be in Jiangling Mansion." Wu Zhishen raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

Xiao Lu said, "When we arrive at Gangneung Mansion, let's take a rest." After such a long journey, I was really uncomfortable. ”

Wu Zhishen said: "It's okay. I'll send someone to Gangneung Mansion first and inform the prefect. ”

"Won't it be inconvenient?"

"Madam, if we don't say hello in advance, the prefect will think that there is an enemy invasion." Wu Zhishen said.

"Or are you thoughtful." After Xiao Lu finished speaking, she woke up Han'er, "Han'er, take advantage of the rest, go down quickly and let Master Zhishen teach you kung fu!" ”

Han'er rubbed her sleepy eyes reluctantly, jumped out of the car, took a horse step, clasped her hands into fists, and said loudly: "Ha! Please advise Master Zhishen! ”

Wu Zhishen smiled and said: "Han'er is really powerful, if she goes on like this, she must be more powerful than your county lord's aunt." ”

"Of course, I'm also the county lord!" Han'er said proudly.

Wu Zhishen had already sent a soldier to Jiangling Mansion to inform the prefect, and when Xiao Lu was almost rested, he continued to press the pace and hurry.

Lord Chai, the prefect of Gangneung Prefecture, received a report that Mrs. Xiangwang was about to arrive in Gangneung Mansion.

When Lord Chai heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, then woke up, and finally hesitated: "King Xiang has been abolished by the emperor, but Princess Xiang has arrived at her own territory at this time, is it good to make a decision?" ”

Although there were some dilemmas, considering Qu Ping's prestige, Lord Chai still persuaded himself to take more than a dozen officials to wait for the princess outside the city gate.

When he saw Xiao Lu's five-hundred-strong team approaching the city gate, Lord Chai was startled, why did he bring so many soldiers?

Xiao Lu came all the way, and it was not only Lord Chai who was frightened. Love to nibble on books

Seeing the princess's palanquin approaching, Lord Chai hurriedly walked over and said humbly: "Xiaguan Jiangling Mansion, Chai Sheng, welcome the princess." ”

Xiao Lu lifted the curtain and let Han'er stay in the sedan chair, and with Wu Zhishen's support, she got off the sedan chair with difficulty.

Lord Chai Sheng saw that Xiao Lu was holding his stomach and did not see King Xiang himself, so he beat a drum in his heart, King Xiang would not really have the intention of rebellion, and even his wife and children were abandoned, right?

Xiao Lu said: "It turned out to be Lord Chai, how can you come to greet you in person?" ”

"It's just what the officials can do." Chai Sheng said, "The princess has a lot of inconveniences, so let's get on the sedan chair first and enter the city." ”

Chai Sheng led Xiao Lu's 500 people into the city, but did not arrange for Xiao Lu and them to live in his own house, but chartered a good inn, arranged for Xiao Lu and Wu Zhishen and other 30 people to stay in the hotel, and the other soldiers arranged to go to the local yamen to rest.

Otherwise, the cost is too great, and the second is also a lot of work.

Chai Sheng arranged room and board, Xiao Lu sat in the hall to rest, Wu Zhishen guarded behind her, and Han'er released her freshness everywhere.

When the shopkeeper served tea, he was dismissed by Chai Shengping, telling him not to come and disturb him without orders.

Xiao Lu saw that Chai Sheng was a little mysterious, so she asked him, "Lord Chai, but what's the matter?" ”

Chai Sheng wanted to speak again and again, and finally mustered up the courage and said cautiously: "Why did the princess come back alone and not see the prince?" ”

Xiao Lu didn't hide it, and said sadly: "Lord Wang...... encountered an accident at sea, and there has been no news so far. Because I was pregnant, I was not suitable for taking a boat, so I parted ways with Jinghaihou and returned to Beijing by land. ”

Chai Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "What? Lord Wang...... I don't know if the prince is alive or dead, but the emperor also abolished the prince's title. Yes, the emperor must have listened to the villain's slander. ”

Xiao Lu and Wu Zhishen listened to Chai Sheng's words, and said in unison in shock: "What? ”

Chai Sheng saw that the two of them were at a loss, and asked, "You still don't know?" ”

Xiao Lu and Wu Zhishen glanced at each other and said, "Along the way, I'm not embarrassed to disturb the officials along the road. ”

"The princess is pregnant, and she is even worried about disturbing the government, which really makes the officials admire." Chai Sheng said, "Don't hide it, the emperor decreed that the prince was abolished!" ”

"Why!?" Xiao Lu couldn't believe it.

Chai Sheng informed: "Someone in the court has impeached the prince for ten crimes, the most deadly of which is the murder of the first emperor and the overseas garrison with the intention of rebellion!" ”

Xiao Lu said angrily: "It's just nonsense. Murdering the first emperor is absolutely nothing; Overseas garrison, that is for the Great Song Dynasty to lay out the world strategy! If he would rebel, would he let me come back? ”

"But it is irrefutable that the Northeast has made Yelu raise the banner to rebel because of this." Chai Sheng said.

Xiao Lu was shocked again: "What? Banner he rebelled? ”

Wu Zhishen was worried that Xiao Lu was too excited, and persuaded: "Madam, pay attention to your body. ”

Chai Sheng replied: "Yelu rebelled and captured Huining Mansion. The emperor sent Zhang Jun, the prince of Lieguo, as the marshal of the rebellion, to personally conquer the banner of Yelu. ”

Xiao Lu felt that her breath was holding in her chest, and she was about to run out of breath. Let's not talk about whether the rebellion of Yelu Daqi is directly related to Qu Ping, but Yelu Daqi's move must be a dead end.

Xiao Lu asked again: "What about the county lord Ping'er?" ”

"The palace has been banned from entering and leaving, I'm afraid everyone is having a hard time." Chai Sheng said.

Xiao Lu trembled her hands and grabbed the handle of the chair hard, so that she could be more stable and make herself appear stronger.

But she is just deceiving herself and holding on, her underwear is like a thin piece of glass, maybe a little external force can be applied and it will fall apart.

Chai Sheng said: "Princess, this official is very sympathetic to the prince's suffering, but ...... Now the only thing that can reverse the situation is probably only the emperor and the prince himself. ”

But Qu Ping is not life and death at the moment, how can he be counted on?

Asking for help from the Emperor? This is the emperor's own golden mouth, can the emperor slap himself in the face and say that he is wrong?

Pipe dream.

Xiao Lu's eyes darkened and she fainted.

"Madame!"

Everyone helped Xiao Lu back to the room in a panic, because she was pregnant and didn't dare to pinch people, so she could only be anxious on the side.

Fortunately, Xiao Lu's life was worry-free, it should have been just fright and fatigue, and the mental pressure had reached its peak, so she fainted.

Han'er cried and lay beside Xiao Lu, shouting, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Wake up! ”

Wu Zhishen pulled Han'er away and said to her, "Madam is tired, just sleep for a while." Don't wake up Madame, or you'll be punished for standing on a stake!" ”

Hearing this, Han'er stopped crying, stood beside Wu Zhishen's legs, raised her head and asked pitifully, "Really?" ”

Wu Zhishen nodded, and said to Chai Sheng: "Please find a few women to come over to take care of Mrs. ”

Chai Sheng answered yes, and everyone went outside.

Chai Sheng couldn't help but ask Wu Zhishen: "Master, what danger has the prince encountered?" ”

"The prince led four ships in pursuit of the Chola and encountered a great storm at sea...... Later, there was no news. Wu Zhi sighed deeply. The prince is brave and unparalleled, amazing and gorgeous, it must be God's jealousy to suffer this disaster, there is a way to be jealous of talent.

Chai Sheng sighed: "It's a pity that God is jealous of talents. I hope that the prince can turn evil into good fortune and return as soon as possible! ”

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the soldiers in the guest hall below shouting, "Who is it?" It's not for you to come here! ”
