In Jiading Bofu, the abbot Zhou Kui was meeting with a guest, and this guest was Li Cunshan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wuqing.

"Shibo, it's been three days since my father was arrested. The oil and salt on the side of Beizhen Fusi are not entered, so they are not even allowed to visit. I don't know how my father was inside, and whether he was tortured. ”

"How so?" Zhou Kui shook his head and said, "Your family is the imperial family, the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Li, and the relatives of the Son of Heaven. Those guys in Beizhen Fusi, although they look vicious, but in the final analysis, they are just the house slaves of the Son of Heaven. The Son of Heaven and your family have an awkward quarrel, this is true, but the master's family and relatives have a little awkwardness, who will really run in and stir up trouble as a house slave? The guys in Beizhen Fuji are shrewd, they won't really treat your father like this. At most, that is, to scare and scare your father, it won't be good. ”

"But ......," Li Cunshan said hesitantly, "Last time, Shibo taught his father to sell his goods and pretend to be poor, and his father was worried that this would anger the emperor, and Shibo also said that it was okay at that time. Results ......"

"Didn't it turn out to be fine? It's nothing more than being arrested and sent to the Beizhen Fusi Prison. Just stay there for a few days, and there won't be anything. It's better than running out of money. Zhou Kui smiled indifferently.

Li Cunshan listened, hugged his fists and said: "What Shibo said is certainly reasonable. It's just that my mother is really worried about my father, and I'm worried that my uncle will take the opportunity to make trouble. It's really hard to be at home without a father. The mother said that if the court is willing to release my father, it is not ......impossible to take over the court for 100,000 or 200,000 yuan."

"Never!" Zhou Kui suddenly became excited, "How can your mother say such a thing?" Marquis Wu Qing has already replied to the emperor, saying that there is no money at all, and now you suddenly take out the money, isn't this clearly telling the emperor that Marquis Wu Qing is bullying the king? ”

"Isn't it okay to say that you sold your property?" Li Cunshan said.

"Of course not!" Zhou Kui said categorically.

"Shibo." Li Cunshan stood up and said, "If we can keep the family business, we naturally don't want to." But you also know the uncle in my family. Now that his father is in prison, no one in the family can completely suppress him. He didn't care if he would lose the family business. Now we can't help it. The emperor has always respected the queen, and if the queen is willing to help say a few words, my father will definitely be able to release it. Otherwise, in order to prevent the family business from falling into the hands of the uncle, the mother may have no other way......"

Zhou Kui frowned, he knew about Li Guorui and his brother's brother fighting for family property, and thought, if it weren't for your father being too stingy, treating his brother's brother as an enemy, and refusing to give him any money, how would he get to this point? But he also knew that at this time, he really couldn't let the Li family give the money to the emperor. Because once this head is opened, which of the emperor's relatives can escape this "happy donation"? Besides, Marquis Wu Qinghou took the lead in donating 400,000, not to mention 400,000, that is, only 200,000, or even only 100,000, so how much should others give? Anyway, it's going to be pretty much the same, right? Especially myself, I am the ruler of the country! It can't be less than Li Guorui, that is, 100,000, 200,000, or even 400,000. Didn't that kill him? But let the daughter go and the emperor to blow the pillow wind? It's strange that his daughter will listen to him! When the daughter marries someone else, she is a member of her husband's family, and when it is critical, she will only help her husband's family. How else do people say that girls are extroverted?

"Nephew, don't worry." Zhou Kui said, "It's difficult for the queen to take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, but if someone else mentions it to the saint first, the queen can help say a few words." The virtuous nephew should go to the person who is the most convenient to be the first to speak. ”

"Sebo, who is the best person to speak first?" Li Cunshan asked.

"Who is the most favored in the harem now?" Zhou Kuidao.

"Shibo, are you talking about Concubine Tian?"

"Tian Hongyu likes to compare with me the most." Zhou Kui said, "You just said that I can't help, and you think no one can help you......"

……

It has been a day since Xuan Yi, Hu Yidao and others entered the city, and they stayed in an inn not far from the west gate of Song County, and it took a day to roughly understand the situation in the city. There is a general surnamed Zhang in this Song County, and there are about 200 soldiers under his command (according to the rules, there should be more than 400 soldiers in the hands of the general, but because of the empty salary, Zhang can have 200 people under the general, which is actually not bad.) The level of equipment and training is low. And judging by the situation in the city, they were also defenseless.

After roughly understanding these circumstances, early that morning, Xuan Yi and Hu Yidao sent two people back. Inform Huang Zide of the situation in the city, and make an agreement with him to attack Song County at dawn the next day.

In the afternoon, the person sent came back and brought back Huang Zide's reply. In the middle of the night, all ten people got up and gathered in the room of Xuan Yi and Hu Yidao to prepare.

The boxes on the cart pushed by several people were dismantled, and those boxes had compartments, and needless to say, they contained weapons. In addition to swords, even two bows and dozens of arrows.

Hu Yidao carefully hung the bowstring on the bow in the dark, picked up the knife again, checked it in his hand, and then gently inserted it into the scabbard. Then hang the scabbard on the belt. The others also took up their weapons and prepared themselves.

At this time, there was a sound of beating the watch outside: "Knock-knock, knock, knock, knock." Slowly, slowly, four times fast, and then the shout of the husband came from afar: "At the end of the day, go to bed early and get up early, take care of your body." "But it's already five watches.

At this time, people generally go to bed early and wake up early. Around 5 o'clock, that is, from 3 to 5 o'clock, many people have to get up to prepare breakfast or other things.

According to the agreement, at this time, Huang Zide's army should also arrive not far from the city. Hu Yidao gently pushed open the window facing the street, and some of the light from the outside shone in. Hu Yidao stretched out his head and looked at the city gate, it was dark and dark, and he couldn't see clearly. At this time, it was the last quarter of the moon, and the moonlight shone obliquely, illuminating half of the street, but the other half of the street was still hidden in darkness. The whole street was still quiet at this time, and no one was in sight.

Hu Yidao retracted his head and nodded to everyone. Someone gently pushed the door open, and several people, each with a weapon, carefully walked down the stairs and downstairs.

It's pitch black downstairs, but everyone has been paying attention to the environment here, even if they can't see clearly, they know the direction. A few people slowly touched the door, Hu Yidao gently pulled out the door bolt, opened the door a small crack, and looked outside, there was still no one on the street outside.

The moonlight was shining obliquely, and the inn where Hu Yidao and they were was was right in the shadow with their backs to the moonlight. Hu Yidao slowly opened the door, and several people came out one by one.

Hu Yidao had already pulled out the knife at this time, and he walked in front, and a warrior named Wang Changshun followed behind with a bow. The group slowly approached the city gate.

As we got closer and closer, the situation near the city gate gradually became clearer, two gatekeepers were napping against the city gate, and there were a few soldiers on the city wall dangling weakly, looking out of the city from time to time. Obviously, they didn't pay attention to the city.

Hu Yidao quietly touched a place about ten steps away from the two dozing doormen, and further on, there was no shadow to cover them. He reached back and motioned for everyone to stop, then slowly crouched down. Fan An also pulled out the bones, quietly walked to Hu Yidao's side, and slowly squatted down. A little behind him, Huang Roll and Wang Changshun also put an arrow on their bows and aimed at the soldiers on the city wall.

Hu Yidao nodded at Fan An, and then the two of them rushed forward, rushing to the two guards in the blink of an eye. Although the two guards were napping, they were not asleep, and when they heard footsteps, they saw that two people had rushed to the front as soon as they opened their eyes.

The knife in Hu Yidao's hand slashed horizontally, and a single knife cut the throat of a doorman. At the same time, Fan An's bones also smashed on the head of another doorman, only to hear a muffled sound of "plop", and the doorman's body was about to fall as soon as he became weak.

Hu Yidao reached out and grabbed the placket of the doorman who had just cut his throat with a knife, and gently put him to the ground, so as not to make too much noise. Fan An also did the same, and gently placed the doorman who was killed by him on the ground.

The two put the bodies away, looked at each other, and then reached the top of the city wall from the ladder. Xuan Yi, together with Huang Roll and Wang Changshun, squatted in the dark to monitor the movements of the soldiers on the city wall, and when he saw that the soldiers had turned their faces in the direction of the outside of the city, he waved his hand, and the other soldiers immediately took this opportunity to rush under the city gate. Several people followed Hu Yidao and Fan An upwards until they came to a stop near the top of the city wall. Hu Yidao took a deep breath first, and then raised his hand towards the back.

Huang Roll and Wang Chang pulled the bows and arrows in their hands by the way, and then only listened to the buzzing of the bowstring, and the two arrows flew out. Xuan Yi saw that the two soldiers defending the city immediately fell down.

At the moment when the arrow was fired, Hu Yidao and the other warriors pounced like a pack of tigers, and the battle ended almost instantly, and several officers and soldiers defending the city were caught off guard and were cut down to the ground almost without any resistance.

Just when Hu Yidao and they cut down the officers and soldiers who were guarding the city, Xuan Yi, Huang Roll and Wang Changshun also rushed over together, and they did not go up to the city wall, but rushed directly to the city gate hole. Together, the three of them lifted the heavy deadbolt behind the gate, and then pulled the gate open.

"Changshun, send a signal." Xuan Yi said.

Wang Changshun grabbed his bow, rushed out of the city gate, mounted a ringing arrow, and shot it into the sky. Suddenly the flying arrows let out a long flute sound......
