“……”

Han Qian woke up from his sleep, sat on the quilt, and it took a while to stabilize his mind, and suddenly recalled this nightmare, his blasphemous coat was already soaked with sweat.

"Nightmares again?" Xi Ying, who was sleeping in the outer wing, heard the movement, put on his clothes, pushed the door and walked in, and by the dim candlelight, he saw Han Qian sitting under the quilt, his expression was a little dazed, and he asked with concern.

"Hmm." Han Qian nodded, and did not deny it, seeing that the window was slightly clear, the sky was about to brighten, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time, so he got up in his clothes, took a flint to light the two residual candles in front of the case, and the bedroom was bright.

At this time, it was already the seventh day of the first month of the seventeenth year of Tianyou, ten days ago, Han Qian and the deputy envoy Guo Rong were summoned to the Shu lord Wang Jian, and the two sides finally negotiated the withdrawal of the two countries, the exchange of markets, the establishment of national pavilions for each other, and the dispatch of officials.

Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, also planned to announce the marriage between the military and the people of Shu and Chu.

Although Han Qian's heart was like an arrow, in order to reflect the deep love between father and daughter, Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, only agreed to pass the Lantern Festival, and then arranged for the king of Qingyang County to officially leave and return to Chu with Han Qian to marry the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

Before that, Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, also wrote to Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, according to the established plan, suggesting that the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Kipzhou would be transferred to the south of Yuzhou, and that Yang Xingfeng, the assassin of Sizhou, should join forces with the Chu State to attack the Wu bureaucrats on both sides of Qianyang.

Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, did not pay attention to the recital of the chief townsman Wang Yong at first, and detained him in the palace, and did not let the political hall and relevant departments discuss it.

A few years ago, the prince of Qingjiang, the marquis of Qingjiang, Wang Hongyi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, played the table and asked Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, to be called the emperor, but he was reprimanded by Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and did not allow Wang Yanzhang to stay in Shudu for the New Year's Festival, so he was directly relegated to Rongzhou as Sima.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the lord of Shu Wang Jian feasted the courtiers in the palace, and Han Qian was also invited over.

At the banquet, Wang Jiancai, the lord of Shu, officially took out the "Advice on the Book of Advice" presented by Wang Yongjin, the Marquis of Changxiang, and discussed it with the ministers.

Qi Lun, the deputy envoy of the privy council and the general of the right guard, and others all supported the proposal of Jingluo Banan, and Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, immediately announced at the banquet that he would be crowned as the marquis of Changxiang Wang Yong and the leader of the Yuzhou Assassin History.

Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, did not wait for the Lantern Festival, and yesterday he had already set off with Hu's entourage in Shudu, and went to Yuzhou by official ship to take up his post, responsible for the management of the Banan region.

At this point, Han Qian's goal of making Shu can be said to have been fully achieved, and now he will wait for the Lantern Festival to escort the county lord of Qingyang on his return journey.

It's just that the closer he gets to the time of departure, the stronger the sense of uneasiness in Han Qian's heart, but it's a pity that the letter from Jinling two days ago still describes the situation in Jinling at the beginning of December.

As far as the beginning of December is concerned, the city of Jinling is still calm.

At that time, after Zhao Wuji met the three princes, he had just rushed to Jinling with more than fifty Han family members to meet Feng Yi, and no one in Jinling City seemed to be aware of the abnormality of Shen He's epidemic and Chen Xingmo's replacement.

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and this year the rebellion in Tanzhou has been successfully quelled, and many prefectures and counties have already entered the congratulatory table in advance.

His father went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion every day before dawn to take charge of official business, and dealt with several cases that his predecessor did not dare to do, and the old man Han Wenhuan also rushed to Lanting Lane to sit down that day, asking his father to eat at the mansion the next night; The next day was the birthday of the second uncle, Han Daochang.

After Zhao Wuji met with Feng Yi, he handed his letter to Feng Yi, and Feng Wei noticed that Wang Wenqian and Wang Jun's father and daughter had returned to Jinling from Chuzhou in the past few days, but they did not see any other abnormalities in Chuzhou for the time being......

With just such a letter, everything seemed to be calm in Jinling City, but there was no way to reassure Han Qian.

It is impossible for the Chuzhou side not to notice the abnormality of the Shen He epidemic, and if he is in Jinling, he will inevitably mobilize more people to keep an eye on the every move of Yin Peng, the governor of the Chuzhou Pavilion, and Wang Wenqian, the secretary of Chuzhou, and others, and send more reconnaissance forces to Chaozhou and Chuzhou.

However, Feng Yi did not have an official status at this time, unless he could take power in an emergency, under normal circumstances, no matter how much Han Qian thought about it, there was no way to officially grant Feng Yi the power to lead Jinyun Tower.

Before Zhao Wuji led his troops to Jinling, Feng Yi had limited manpower and could do very little, and Han Qian was counting on Zhao Wuji to rush back with people now, and it was not too late.

"What are you worried about?" Seeing Han Qian's brows furrowed, Xi Ying couldn't help but have an urge to spread his brows, and he was also surprised by the thought that welled up in his heart, and asked with concern.

"No matter how sluggish Chuzhou is, Zhao Wuji will rush back with people, most of them should have some movement, I don't know if Feng Yi and they can cope with such a situation," Han Qian said, "It's been a month now, what happened in Jinling in this month, I don't know any news, I can't sit still!" ”

"Zhao Wuji rushed back with his men to join Feng Yu a month ago, and half a month ago, the five thousand elites of the Dragon Bird Army should have also rushed back to Jinling in the name of the rotation, and at that time, ten thousand or three thousand elites could be gathered in Qiuhu Mountain. I think that even if Chuzhou wants to stir up the wind and rain at that time, most of them will scruple to make a wedding dress for us, and choose not to move! Xi Ying comforted Han Qian and said, "In six or seven days, after the Lantern Festival, we will set off, and then we will go down the river, and it will only take half a month to reach Yueyang, and even if there is any change in the situation in Jinling, we should be fearless, right?" ”

Han Qian also hoped in his heart that the situation could be maintained before the elite of the 5,000 Dragon Sparrow Army arrived in Jinling, and after washing, he called Feng Yi, Xi Fa'er, and Kong Xirong over, and led the people out of the city to the temporary camp outside the city.

No matter how worried he is, Han Qian can't reach him in Shu, and he still has to act like he is in control, so that Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, can worry about the situation in Jinling.

This time the envoy to Shu State, starting from Xuzhou, including the soldiers of the Qu family, the generals of the water battalion, and the boatmen, there were more than 400 people accompanying them, plus the entourage of the warship borrowed from Yueyang, a total of nearly 700 people formed a huge delegation to welcome relatives.

No matter how much Shu respected Han Qian's status as an envoy, it was impossible for Han Qian to bring all seven hundred people into the capital of Shu.

In the end, only Xi Fa'er, Kong Xirong, Feng Yi and dozens of other people lived in Jinhualou Nanyuan with Han Qian and Guo Rong, and the others were led by Yang Qin and Zhou to settle in the temporary military camp arranged by the Shu army.

The temporary garrison is an official village under the jurisdiction of the Shu army, which is located more than ten miles away from the south gate of the Shu capital.

Surrounded by the guards led by Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Xi Fa'er, Han Qian rode out of the city early in the morning.

"Who's in the car?" Han Qian reined in his horse, and when Guo Qi and they escorted the carriage to the front, he asked hesitantly.

"It was Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng who rushed back from Jinling, they went to the official village outside the city, and their strength had stopped, Yang will order me to escort them into the city in a carriage to see the adults, but I didn't expect the adults to come out of the city at this time!" Guo said.

Everyone was shocked.

He Liufeng was born in Qinling Jingyun Zhai Zhai, his parents died early, he wandered in the mountains and wilderness since he was a child, and he practiced a good foot strength, and was selected by Han Qian as the scout of Zuo Si during the Jingxiang War, and was one of the fifty parts of the reinforcement that rushed to Jinling with Zhao Wuji.

He Liufeng and Zhao Wuji should be waiting for Feng Yi's dispatch in Jinling at this time, and they should be guarding the head of the family, Han Daoxun, and they rushed back to Shudu at this time!

Jinling has changed dramatically?

What else do you want the people to think?

And at this moment, Han Qian was like a thunderbolt from the sky, sitting on the back of a horse in despair, his face was pale, and he was speechless for a while.

Kong Xirong and Xi Fa'er stepped forward to open the curtain of the car, but saw that Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng were both dressed in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, perhaps because the thousands of miles of travel in the past month had exhausted their last trace of energy, they had fallen asleep in the carriage at this time, snoring, and they didn't realize that they had been brought to Han Qian.

"Let's go to Guanzhuang first and meet Yang Du and Zhou!" Seeing that Xi Fa'er jumped into the car to wake up Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng for questioning, Xi Ying stopped him and asked everyone to escort Han Qian to the temporary camp first, and then meet Yang Qin and Zhou first.

At this time, they were on the official road outside the city of Shudu, and there were many people.

In any case, the news of the shocking change in Jinling must not be known to the Shu people at this time, otherwise I don't know if the attitude of Shu will suddenly change!

…………

…………

“…… The head of the family died a tragic death! Mowgli is incompetent, and he can't protect the head of the family! ”

On the night of Han Daoxun's torture, Zhao Wuji sneaked out of Jinling with He Liufeng and others.

However, from Jinling through quarrying, Chizhou to Jiangzhou, all the way are the officials of the prince's family as the chief officer, especially the Chaozhou soldiers and horses under the leadership of the main general Xu Zhu, crossing the river through quarrying, and are rushing to Jinling City, Zhao Wuji They dare not expose their whereabouts, they can only go out day and night; In addition to sending people to Tanzhou and Xuzhou to report the news, he and He Liufeng worked non-stop, crossed the river and sneaked into the territory of Kipzhou through Jingzhou.

Kipzhou belongs to the territory of Shu, and they are worried that after the news leaks in advance, it will make Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, change his attitude to Han Qian and them, and Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng are disguised and hidden.

After passing Kipzhou, there were no merchant ships going against the flow of Wushan Changxia at that time, they were in the ice and snow over the mountains and mountains, with their feet all the way to Kuizhou, before they connected with the dark line of Jinyunlou lurking in Shudi, and then changed horses and rushed to the capital of Shu.

At this time, it has been twenty-eight days since Han Daoxun was tortured in Jinling.

"Five horses split! Car cracks! ”

Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng rushed over, only saying that there had been a drastic change in Jinling, and it was only at this time that Yang Qin knew that Han Daoxun was actually killed by the corpse of five horses in Jinling.

Yang Qin has been in Xuzhou for the longest time, and he also knows Han Daoxun the most by nature.

At first, so many displaced people poured into Qianyang and other places in a short time, but none of them died of hunger and cold, all of them were Han Daoxun's hard work all night, and Yang Qin saw all this.

Han Daoxun was resolutely transferred to Jinling, is it really greedy for Jing Zhaoyin's authority?

Didn't he realize that Jinling was in danger, and he resolutely went to Beijing without stopping for a day after receiving the holy decree?

Or didn't Han Daoxun really know in advance that he was weak and weak, and it was very likely that he would be trapped in it and it would be difficult to do anything if he went to Beijing alone?

Yang Qin was also worried that Han Daoxun's fate in Beijing might be bumpy, and he would not even be able to escape death, but he was never willing to accept Han Daoxun's death so tragically!

Under Yang Qin's impulse, he was about to step forward to ask Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng about the details of the Jinling chaos, when he heard Xi Fa'er and Guo shouting behind him:

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"

Yang Qin turned his head, but saw Han Qian, who was sitting in the lobby, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood at this moment, and his body stiffened to the side, and he actually fainted, and his face was full of tears......
