Chapter 127: Sleek Cao Yunzhi
"Brother He Jin, don't blame yourself too much, it's not too late to make amends; If you can find this big hidden danger at this time, there will be less danger in the future, and you should be glad that it is. β
For Qin Wu, Liu Huayun also has a lot of trust, otherwise when calculating Yinzhen and others, he would not entrust his life to him.
If he wants to say that he will not investigate, or that he will say that he regrets, he will not be a little less than He Jin in his heart;
It's just that it's useless to be indignant and remorseful, and the most important thing is to find a way to solve the problem and eradicate the enemy.
Listening to Liu Huayun's comfort, He Jin's face improved a little and nodded at him.
"My lord, I'm going to chase the traitor!"
At this moment, Lu Feng finally understood why the garrison in Shanxi had not moved for a long time, and after seeing the dead bodies of Li Xing and the others, he knelt down on one knee and asked for his life.
"No, it's too late."
Nearly two hours have passed, and I am afraid that Qin Wu and Zou Tai have already left the border of Shaanxi and Jin with Qin Surou, and Lu Feng will not be able to catch up with them at all;
Moreover, secretly there may be the remnants of King Fu, He Jin wants someone to protect them, and the bodies of Li Starling and the others also need to be disposed of, and these five people can't leave easily.
"Yes, Lu Feng, don't be impulsive, take Li Starling and them, let's return to Taiyuan immediately."
Liu Huayun's statement He Jin also agreed, and under her order, Zhang Dahu prepared the cart and watched them leave Huailou Village with two corpses.
Because his youngest son was on duty in the Yamen of Puxian County, this kind of good opportunity to curry favor with the descendants of the poor fortune was not begged for;
Therefore, when parting, Liu Huayun wanted to leave him some silver taels to compensate, but Zhang Dahu refused to accept it no matter what, but instead gave them a lot of drinking water, meat cakes, etc. as dry food.
Under his hospitality, the name Zhang Dongqi was also deeply remembered by Liu Huayun, and if possible, it would not be a big deal to pull him when the time came.
Drive~~Drive~~
"Big brother, it's all that Yin Chuanling is useless, I almost fell into the hands of that kid, fortunately, big brother, you came in time, otherwise it would ......"
On a mountain road leading to Shaanxi, three horses galloped, one of them was empty, and Qin Surou, who was injured and frowned, was attached to the back of Qin Wu, who was carrying a musket, and her eyes were full of unwillingness.
This operation, at the beginning, was quite smooth, and now it is finished;
The boiled duck flew, and there were still steel balls in his calf that were not taken out, so he said that this woman would regret it to anyone.
"Hey~~, it's also that kid who is cunning, little sister, you are too careless, you must learn a lesson in the future......"
Qin Wu sighed, he was also a little helpless, speaking of which, Yin Chuanling couldn't be completely blamed for this matter, Qin Surou didn't search their bodies, so she created a chance for Liu Huayun to escape.
If it weren't for the fact that he left Taiyuan City early in the morning after seeing Zhang Zuoxiang, rushed to the pick-up point to learn that Liu Huayun had escaped, and the little sister had taken people to this generation to search, it would have been impossible to save her.
This time, he took the risk to kidnap the prince and the concubine, and as the last chess piece left by He Jin's side, he never thought of returning to the capital.
After all, Lu Feng, Guo Jing, Cao Yunzhi and others would all doubt him, and He Yu, who was furious, would not be polite to him.
Compared with Liu Huayun, who can build muskets and improve artillery, and the current prince as a hostage, even if he loses the identity of the small leader of the Ouchi guard, there is no pity.
In addition, as long as He Jin fell into the hands of King Fu, Admiral Zhang Zuoxiang could design to kill Cao Yunzhi, take advantage of the chaos to control the 20,000 garrisons in Shanxi, and raise troops to echo Zhu Jia, the Ming King of Shandong, and fight against the imperial court.
But now, as long as the prince and Cao Yunzhi converge, all plans will be bamboo baskets to draw water;
Because without He Jin as a hostage, if Yang Yunzhao was allowed to throw a rat trap, the Yang family army, who was returning from the northwest Saipan Division, could easily sweep everything.
"Big brother, we didn't gain nothing, we got a musket and more than a dozen bullets, and after leaving Shanxi, we can also let people go around to publicize that He Jin is a woman, and build momentum for the prince......"
Since the failure was doomed, Qin Surou had to mention this section in order to have some psychological comfort.
"Little sister, you are too naΓ―ve, He Jin has been pretending to be a man for more than 20 years, and even me, Zhao Yuanfang, and Gao Cheng have not noticed it, and some folk rumors can't shake her foundation at all."
Qin Wu shook his head, he was not optimistic about the idea of making remarks in the southwest, which could endanger the prince in the capital, and only this musket could have an excuse to make a difference with the lord;
It's just that he hasn't been able to get the process drawings for the production of muskets for so long, and with this musket alone, those craftsmen in Shu who don't know how much gap there are compared to the Shenji Battalion want to imitate a large number of them, how easy is it to talk about it......
Sigh~~~
"His Royal Highness the Prince, it is too late to escort the minister Cao Yunzhi, please punish him!"
Due to the slow walking of the board car, in the afternoon, a group of people walked along the official road to Taiyuan and walked out of less than 100 miles.
At this moment, the dust in front of the horses neighed, and no less than three hundred cavalry were galloping, and after the two sides met, the people hurriedly grabbed their mounts, jumped off the horses and saluted He Jin.
"Lord Cao, why are you late?"
In fact, through Lu Feng's report and Qin Wu's sudden appearance to save Qin Surou, it was not difficult for her to guess that although Qin Wu was ordered to go to Taiyuan City first;
But instead of going to see Cao Yunzhi to move the rescuers, he found Zhang Zuoxiang and conspired to delay.
knew that he was not responsible, but as the crown prince, suffering such a great humiliation, He Jin still had to find someone to vent.
"The crown prince is good, although the minister is guilty, but it was all framed by Admiral Zhang Zuoxiang......"
Cao Yunzhi, who was sweating on his forehead, hurriedly knelt down and pleaded.
"Hmph~~~, Lord Cao, what about Zhang Zuoxiang? Do you have someone to control? β
After listening to Cao Yunzhi's explanation, He Jin let out a soft snort from the end of his nose and waved his hand to ask.
"Back to the prince's words, as a subordinate, the minister did not dare to trespass into the governor's mansion without conclusive evidence...... However, the minister has let the garrison blockade Taiyuan City, just waiting for you to go back and arrest him personally. β
Asked here, Liu Huayun can see that although Cao Yunzhi is a general loyal to the imperial court, he is a careful and sleek person, and he is hesitant to do things forward, and he is not able to use it.
Otherwise, as the second-in-command of Shanxi, the taxes and silver paid by the Jin merchants over the years have become less and less, and he would not have said anything at all, just letting Zhang Zuoxiang fill his pockets.
"Lord Cao, get up, Brother Liu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Liu Huayun can see what He Jin can't understand, it's just that this is in Shanxi, and Cao Yunzhi is still needed to investigate and deal with Admiral Zhang Zuoxiang and the corrupt officials under him, and it is not good to embarrass him too much.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
"That's it, Brother He Jin, you and I will return to Taiyuan overnight and arrest Zhang Zuoxiang to raid the Admiral's Mansion....... At the same time, let the cavalry under Lord Cao go to inform General Yang Yunzhao with your handwritten message;
Ordered the Yang family army to be rerouted and went to Shu to exterminate the remnants of King Fu, as for the follow-up military salary, I think the stolen silver in Shanxi should be more than enough. β
Now that he knew the specific location where He Xian, He Wei's father and son were hiding, Liu Huayun would not watch them slowly grow stronger, so after Cao Yunzhi thanked him and got up, he did not hesitate to open his mouth and propose.
