Han Ruzi was on his way to Jingzhao Yin's mansion, when a man came running on horseback, whispered a few words to Yang Feng, and left immediately, Yang Feng told the tired marquis: "The champion Hou has appointed Chai Yue as the military leader, and the messenger has set off." ”

Han Ruzi has a great peace in his heart, he spent so much tongue in the champion Hou, the most important purpose is this one, although the appointment of the champion Hou still needs the permission of the imperial court in the end, but for the soldiers of the Northern Army, Chai Yue has finally become a real "own person".

Yang Feng added: "The two Imperial Historians, please rest assured that the appointment will be unimpeded." ”

Han Ruzi was slightly surprised, and then understood that the change in the situation also had a great impact on them, Xiao Sheng and Shen Ming were determined to ask for merit from the tired marquis, hoping to promote this alliance.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jingzhao Yin's Mansion, the King of the East China Sea caught up and asked with some annoyance, "Why don't you call me?" ”

Han Ruzi smiled: "Because I know, you don't need to call, you will also come." ”

The King of the East Sea jumped off his horse, dodged Yang Feng, approached Han Ruzi, and whispered, "What do you need my help with?" ”

Han Ruzi thought for a while, "You still have to write a letter to Cui Taifu, I wanted him to attack the Northern Army before, but now I want him to cooperate with the Northern Army." ”

"The entire Great Chu Imperial Court is more indistinguishable than ever." The king of the East China Sea sighed, and then said, "No problem, I think I can convince Cui Hong." ”

In the yamen, Lian Danchen, a judicial officer, was already waiting outside the lobby, and directly took the tired marquis to the Internal Criminal Division, and Jing Zhaoyin himself avoided it.

Du's grandson was not a prisoner, but he was guarded very strictly, and more than a dozen officials guarded the door, not allowing any outsiders to approach.

Lian Danchen took the tired Hou into the door and said, "Things are more troublesome, the tired Hou can take away Old Man Du, little Du...... Gotta stay here for a few days. ”

The Internal Criminal Division is Lian Danchen's usual office, a small bed is added against the wall, Du Chuanyun is lying on it, it seems to be sleeping, Du Motian sat on the edge of the bed, stood up at this time, first bowed his hand to the tired marquis, and then said to Lian Danchen: "My grandson has already told you everything he knows, how long will he be locked up?" ”

Lian Danchen smiled bitterly: "Why does Old Man Du use the word 'guan'? You're all my guests, just ...... It's just that the things involved are too big, and I can't be the master. ”

Even Danchen has always been very polite, Du Motian couldn't say anything, turned to the tired marquis, and arched his hand: "Thank you for coming to visit, the clouds can be regarded as picking up a life, but it has not fully recovered, and you can't get up to salute the tired marquis, and the tired marquis is not strange." ”

"It's okay, I just want to see it with my own eyes, it's okay." Han Ruzi said to Lian Danchen again: "Who can call the shots? ”

"The trouble is here, no one can do anything, unless the assassin is caught, otherwise, I will have to transfer Xiao Du to the guard camp the day after tomorrow......" Lian Danchen's embarrassment is here.

On the surface, the "Guanghua Tigers" had taken refuge in the Tired Marquis and the King of the East China Sea, and they were naturally very polite to the Retained Hou's entourage, and when the "guests" arrived in Shangguan Sheng's hands, the torturers could not control it.

"But you let the king go." Du Motian said.

"The King...... After all, it's the British king. Lian Danchen could only smile bitterly, the power and courage of the "Guanghua Tigers" came from the Queen Mother, and once the Queen Mother was vague, they would be at a loss.

Han Ruzi said, "Can I talk to them alone?" ”

"Of course, I'm just outside the door, on call." Lian Danchen exited the room.

Han Ruzi was just about to speak, but Du Motian on the other side waved his hand at him, and said in his mouth: "Tired Hou, this is not fair, Chuanyun is a victim, why can't he leave?" ”

"Please forgive Old Man Du, the assassination of the King of England shook the Manchu Dynasty, Du Chuanyun happened to be by the side of the King of England, and everyone and everything he saw could be very important. What did he see? ”

Du Motian shook his head, "Chuanyun was running relatively fast on horseback at that time, and when he found out about the sneak attack, he only had time to dodge for a while, and then he saw the figure shaking, and he quickly fainted. ”

Du touched the sky two steps forward, grabbed Tihou's right hand, and said excitedly: "Chuanyun is my only grandson, I can't leave him, where is he and where I am, if Tihou has a way, take us all out, if not, then each of them will have a destiny." ”

"Old man Du, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to take you back to the Tired Hou Mansion."

The two chatted a few more words, Du Motian let go of his hand, and Han Ruzi called Lian Danchen to thank him for taking care of Du's grandson and left.

Halfway through, Lian Danchen asked in a low voice, "What did Old Man Du say?" ”

There was obviously someone next door to the Internal Criminal Division who was listening to the conversation, and even Danchen's question was just a cover-up, Han Ruzi pretended not to know, and sighed: "He said that Du Chuanyun didn't notice anything, it happened too suddenly, and the assassin was also very hidden." ”

"Well, I believe Du Chuanyun, I'm just afraid that I'll get to the side of the guard camp......"

"So we have to find the assassin as soon as possible, what progress is there on Lord Lian's side?"

"I arrested a lot of people again, but it was useless, either my mouth was too hard, or it had nothing to do with the assassination of the British king, it was all some grudges."

"If Lord Lian finds a clue, please be sure to notify me in time."

"Of course, don't worry, if you catch an assassin, you'll be the first to know."

The two said goodbye politely at the yamen.

The king of the East China Sea borrowed pen and paper from the yamen, and had already written a letter, brought it to Han Ruzi to see, and asked casually, "How is it?" ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, glanced at the content of the letter, and returned it to the King of the East China Sea, "Very good, let's give it to Mrs. Cui." ”

The king of the East China Sea called his entourage to deliver the letter, but he still followed Han Ruzi until he was in the Tired Marquis's mansion, where Han Ruzi had the opportunity to talk to Yang Feng in a low voice.

"Find Hu San'er." Han Ruzi whispered that when Du Motian grabbed his hand, he undoubtedly wrote the word "Hu San".

Yang Feng nodded, sent the tired Hou back to the study normally, did not greet the king of the East China Sea, and left on his own.

The King of the East China Sea watched Yang Feng's back disappear, turned to Han Ruzi and said solemnly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Figure out the situation and find the Assassin."

The King of the East Sea closed the door and walked to the bookcase, "The Queen Mother has already made a move, we can't wait any longer, we must fight back." ”

"How to fight back?"

"Haven't we already made a plan?"

Han Ruzi shook his head, "Without the full cooperation of the 'Guanghua Tigers', our plan would not have succeeded, but are these people still trustworthy now?" ”

"That's why it's too early to counterattack, and if you wait, everyone has to throw themselves to the Queen Mother."

Han Ruzi still shook his head, "No, the timing is not good." ”

"What to do? Just wait? ”

"The queen mother relies on nothing more than Shangguan Sheng and the eight battalions of the guards, as long as the southern and northern armies are still near the capital, we will not lose all."

"So you're really teaming up with Champion Hou?"

"When the catastrophe is coming, the most important thing is to preserve the strength, of course, we must be sincere when we join forces, otherwise, what will we do against the Queen Mother?" Han Ruzi stared into the eyes of the King of the East China Sea.

The king of the East China Sea avoided and sighed, "You have a point, I am only worried about one thing, the entire court is a wall, once the queen mother announces that the emperor is cured, her body is fine, and she can return to power, not only will the minister honestly kowtow to ask for peace, but the southern and northern armies will also defect, at least Cui Hong will." ”

"Even so, we can't rush, we have to wait for a better time."

"Okay, listen to you, anyway, I'm ready, you have four or five hundred subordinates, and the Tan family can also provide the same number of dead soldiers, even Danchen may not be trustworthy, there are still people in the 'Guanghua Tigers' who are desperately willing to help the Tan family."

"Well, I won't be delaying it for too long."

The King of the East Sea found a place to sit down, was silent for a while, and spoke again: "Have you ever thought about directing the blame for the assassination of the King of England to the champion Hou?" ”

"I've thought about it." Han Ruzi said without raising his head, "But there is no way." ”

"As long as there are Assassins who identify ......"

"Nope." Han Ruzi directly refused.

"Aren't you afraid that the champion Hou will frame you first?"

"If Champion Hou did that, then he would be stupid." Han Ruzi looked at the King of the East China Sea, "What the Queen Mother wants to see most is that we panic and frame each other, so that she can get out without suspicion." ”

"Yes, we can't be fooled." The King of the East Sea was deflated.

As noon approached, the king of the East China Sea was about to order someone to have a meal, and Fu Cheng came in to report that Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Biyuan, came with a guest to ask for a meeting.

"The Marquis of Biyuan is really ridiculously naïve, he really wants to go to the Western Regions to make meritorious contributions and atone for his grandson?"

Han Ruzi respected this old general very much, and he was a little surprised, he was willing to take the initiative to see the tired Hou at this time, and the Hou of Biyuan was not small.

Zhang Yin, the Marquis of Piyuan, did not seem to understand the direction of the imperial court at all, and decided to do one thing to do, although the Marquis did not agree to send him to the Western Regions to build a city, but the Marquis of Piyuan had already begun to prepare, including learning more from the "enemy".

The guest he brought with him today was a Hun envoy.

The Xiongnu envoys have been in the capital for a long time, except for a few small officials from the Ministry of Rites, they have not seen the members of the court, let alone the emperor and the queen mother, and the Marquis of Biyuan is the only guest who comes to visit, also in a private capacity.

"Jin Chunzhong!" The King of the East China Sea was taken aback when he saw the comer, "You still dare to enter the city, aren't you afraid that the Chai family will tear you apart?" ”

"I am now a Hun envoy." Jin Chunzhong said that Princess Hengyang is dead, so he doesn't need to be too afraid.

"The entire Huns are lost dogs, what's so great about a messenger?" The King of the East Sea looked disdainful, and did not greet the guests, but walked to the other side and sat down.

The Marquis of Biyuan stepped forward and said to the Marquis of Ti: "The Western Regions must ...... Prepare early, the Huns ...... The Huns ......"

Jin Chunzhong signaled to the Marquis of Biyuan that he could speak on his behalf, and the Marquis of Biyuan nodded in agreement.

Jin Chunzhong first bowed to the tired marquis, got up and said: "When we set off, Da Shan Yu instructed that if there is no progress in the peace talks after the spring, there is no need to talk, since the Great Chu is unwilling to join forces, then the Huns have only one choice: to go south to herd horses, with the help of the Chu people's cities to resist the strong enemy in the west." ”

Before Han Ruzi could speak, the king of the East China Sea stood up and said angrily: "Shameless traitor, you dare to threaten Da Chu? ”

Jin Chunzhong was stunned and said: "If the two countries go to war, I would rather stay on the side of Dachu, I just want to remind the frontier to prepare early through the tired marquis." ”

The King of the East China Sea looked at Jin Chunzhong coldly, with a look of distrust.

"Indeed, the court should be reminded that this is more important than the assassination of the King of England!" Han Ruzi's heart moved, if he handled it properly, he might be able to solve the internal and external troubles together. (To be continued.) )
