Zhao Gou and his entourage sailed by sea for ten days before arriving in Laizhou, and then returned to Beijing from Laizhou, which took another half a month. If you add the time when Zhao Gou disappeared, it was exactly forty-five days. Zhao Gou calculated it for a while, and estimated that it would be less than a month.

As for Fang Jinzhi, he left after the ship docked!

After Fang Jinzhi got on the boat, he stayed in the guest room without leaving the house, unwilling to come out. Even if it was to eat, Zhao Gou sent someone to send it over, and sometimes she didn't eat at all, but Zhao Gou didn't say anything, and he didn't show excessive concern and concern.

However, Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong saw the worry in Zhao Gou's eyes!

"Can we ever see each other again?" Zhao Gou looked at the back of Fang Jinzhi's footsteps, and said abruptly, which shocked Fang Jinzhi, and they couldn't help but think of the days together, but time can't be turned back, and everything is back to square one.

Fang Jinzhi replied expressionlessly: "What about goodbye?" ”

She didn't wait for Zhao Gou to answer, and left in a hurry. Zhao Gou looked intently at Fang Jinzhi's departing back and was silent for a long time. Fang Jinzhi had mixed feelings, and she didn't know how to face Zhao Gou, especially when she recalled the bits and pieces that happened in those days, as if it was just yesterday.

Fang Jinzhi remembered the relationship between the two of them, but she was helpless and blamed herself. It is precisely because he doesn't know how to face it, so Fang Jinzhi would rather stay at home these days than have any intersection with Zhao Gou. Because her heart has changed, if she continues, I am afraid that she will forget her hatred.

"Will it be indefinite?" Zhao Gou muttered to himself, sighed deeply, and then returned to Beijing with Zhao Yougong and others.

The news of Zhao Gou's return had already reached the ears of the emperor of the capital, and when Song Huizong heard that Zhao Gou had returned safely, he was excited; His mother cried with joy and shouted 'God bless my son' again and again. When he returned to Beijing this time, Song Huizong did not greet him personally, everything was as usual.

Zhao Gou and his party, who were supposed to come back a few days earlier, were a month late, and there were quite a few complaints in the court. If Song Huizong doesn't care about everything and goes out of the city to greet him, I'm afraid he will fall into the hands of others. So, Song Huizong waited in the palace for Zhao Gou to come back to his life.

When Zhao Gou and the others entered the capital, a eunuch came to personally convey the purpose of Song Hui and ordered them to return to the palace immediately.

Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong and others received the order, and Gao Zhong was sent back to the county king's mansion by Zhao Gou and told everyone that he had returned safely. In addition, Zhao Gou asked Gao Chong to order the kitchen to make some delicious food and wine, Zhao Yougong went with him when the time came, and Gao Chong took the order to go back.

Song Huizong impatiently paced back and forth in the study, wanted to go out but stopped, and heard the sound of eager footsteps, he hurriedly sat on the dragon chair, calm and relaxed, and waited for the eunuch to report that the king of Guangping County was coming, Song Huizong said lightly for them to meet, and then put down the book in his hand.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong entered the study under the leadership of the eunuch and shouted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"No courtesy, flat!" Song Huizong nodded with a smile, and ordered all the other eunuchs to go out, leaving only Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong, and continued: "Thirteenth brother, since you are here, let's come out together!" ”

"Brother Huang, how did you know I was coming?" Zhao said in surprise.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "They came back safe and sound, with your character, you will definitely not be able to sit still, and you will definitely come." ”

Zhao seemed to smile, and looked at Zhao Gou again, only to feel that his whole person was hazy and unreal, and the breath of nothingness was integrated, and he was shocked: "Lao Jiu, has your martial arts been taken to the next level?" ”

Zhao Gou replied truthfully: "Uncle Thirteen is really like a torch, you can see it at a glance!" ”

Zhao seemed to be excited, he did not reach the realm that martial arts practitioners dreamed of, but Zhao Gou reached it at the age of fifteen, before the age of a weak crown, which is really rare in ancient and modern times. No one he knew had ever seen anything like it.

"How did you get there?" Zhao seemed to know that if he wanted to break through the realm, it would be very difficult, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Ancestor bless!" Zhao Gou replied mysteriously, which made everyone stunned, but Song Huizong and Zhao Ru couldn't cry or laugh, especially Zhao Gou thought that Zhao Gou was playing him. In fact, Zhao Gou really didn't play tricks on him, so he told him that he was unconscious.

"That's how things happened, I don't know how I broke through, it should be the blessing of the ancestors!"

Song Huizong and Zhao seemed to look at each other, but Zhao Yougong's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, they knew Zhao Gou's temperament, and he would never lie. Besides, all of you here are trusted people, so how can you say something out of nothing!

"Have you really seen Emperor Taizu?" Song Huizong's face was expressionless, and he looked at Zhao Gou seriously, this matter should not be underestimated.

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "At the last moment, it was confirmed that that person was Emperor Taizu!" ”

Zhao glanced at Song Huizong thoughtfully, only to see the two of them looking at each other, and they were silent in understanding.

"Did this negotiation go well?" Song Huizong was silent for a while, and then shifted the topic to business.

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "The thoughts of the Jurchens are really vicious, our group was ordered to go to the rebellion, but they did not give us such respect, not to mention, they repeatedly provoked. Even if the wolf lord of the Jin Dynasty finished fighting his face, he was hiding a knife in his smile. ”

"If we were assassinated this time, if we didn't have the approval of the wolf master, how could such a thing happen on the territory of the Jurchens. Moreover, the Jurchens also participated. What is certain is that the Jurchens only want to borrow our hands to attack the Khitan, and they are not sincerely allied with us. ”

"It can be concluded that after the fall of the Khitan, the Jurchens will inevitably go south to invade the Song Dynasty, which is their real purpose. In addition, most of the Jurchens could not see the Song people. As for the terms they promised, they were only expedient! ”

Song Huizong said in a deep voice: "Is this really the case? ”

Zhao Yougong nodded, and continued: "The next wolf lord of the Jurchens has a hatred for us, if they don't regard them as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, how can they send someone to intercept and kill us." If you don't prepare in advance, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to come back. ”

"How unreasonable!" Song Huizong was furious, he didn't expect that the worries that the people in the court said were actually true, and they sought skin with the tiger.

Zhao said: "Father and Emperor don't worry, they have their ideas, and we have ours. Now that we know the true intentions of the Jurchens, then we don't have to care about any covenant or not, they don't want to give it to us, then we can get it back ourselves! ”

"Get it back yourself?"

"That's right!" Zhao Gou swore and said, "I agreed to form an alliance with them at the beginning, which is also the purpose. They want to use us to restrain the Khitan army, and my purpose is the same, to use the Jurchens to contain the Khitans, and when the Jurchens attack the Khitans, we will send troops to attack, and we will not attack other cities! ”

"Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!" Song Huizong muttered to himself, and smiled with relief, his original plan was the same, the father and son really thought of going together!
