Shi Zong, also known as Wang Zongshi, went to Hongzhou under the banner of Zhao Shuo, and after Ju Zheng met with Wu Yashi and Yan Wu, he bought enough grain and grass in Xinzhou, and left a special person to take care of the store, and then rushed to Hongzhou with the team. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Shuo, who is in Ziyang County, has only a few people around him: Xiao Fluttershy, Feng Gonggong, Zhang Chujiu, Fang Yunshang, and Fang Qifo.

"Lord Wang, are you better?" Fluttershy sees Zhao Shuo wake up, pours a bowl of tea, and brings it to Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "I'm fine!" Turning her head to see Fluttershy's eyes red, she asks suspiciously. "Fluttershy, what's wrong, who bullied you and cried like this."

Fluttershy wipes her eyes and purses her lips. "The slave is fine, no one bullies the slave and the maid." Then he turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes again, and said. "Everyone is very worried about the prince, and the slave wants to tell everyone the news that the prince has woken up."

With that, Fluttershy trots away.

At this time, Zhao Shuo began to look at this room. He was lying on a simple wooden bed, with only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room. Fluttershy's tea bowl next to the bed has cracked a few lines and has a gap in it, so I don't know how long it has been using.

Moving his somewhat sore shoulders and rubbing his temples, Zhao Shuo began to recall.

The memory stopped at the moment when Zhang Chujiu came back, and he told the news that 200,000 people and mobs in Guixi and Yiyang counties were all slaughtered. Zhao Shuo had tears in the corners of his eyes, his eyes were dark, and when he woke up again, it was the scene just now.

"Alas, after all, it still hasn't changed." Zhao Shuo sighed.

"Lord Wang, you finally woke up, these days, the old slave is worried." The first to enter the door was Gonggong Feng.

"Lord Wang, you're awake." The second one to come in was Fang Yunsheng, her eyes were bloodshot, obviously she hadn't rested well in the past few days.

"Lord Wang." The third Fang Qi Buddha, who came in, bowed slightly.

The fourth one to come in is Fluttershy, who stands last.

"What about the ninth month?" After waiting for a while, he didn't see Zhang Chujiu coming in, Zhao Shuo asked.

"Oh, the ninth day of the first month is going to send Langzhong." Feng Gong is fair. "The prince fainted suddenly, and everyone was very worried. Looking for Lang Zhong in the county seat of the first nine years, this morning, Lang Zhong said that the prince was fine, so he agreed to let Lang Zhong go back. ”

"I'm bothering you." Zhao Shuo shifts, and Fluttershy hurriedly runs over to hold Zhao Shuo up.

Zhao Shuo was helped up by Fluttershy and smiled bitterly. "My physique is still not good, I will have to exercise more in the future."

"No, the slave maid thinks that the prince must be hungry." Fluttershy laughs.

"I wasn't hungry, but when Fluttershy said that, I was a little hungry." Zhao Shuo said with a smile. "I remember just finishing it."

"Lord Wang, you have been in a coma for three days." Gonggong Feng said with a worried face.

"No, so long." Zhao Shuo couldn't believe it. "No wonder I'm hungry."

"Slave and maid will go and prepare food." Fluttershy's tears flow again, she wipes them and runs out again.

"Yan Wu isn't here, and Fluttershy is in charge of preparing the food during this time." Gonggong Feng said.

"This girl hasn't cooked before, can she eat it?" Zhao Shuo asked with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people were amused.

"It didn't taste good at first, but I got used to it after a few meals." Feng Gong is fair.

Zhao Shuo nodded and put away his smile. "Yiyang, how is Guixi doing now?"

Fang Qifo opened his mouth, Fang Yunshang glanced at him and shook his head.

"Gonggong Feng, what do you say?" After Zhao Shuo noticed Fang Yunsheng and Fang Qifo's movements, he said to Gonggong Feng.

Father-in-law Feng looked embarrassed. "Lord Wang, the old slave really doesn't know about this."

"What?" Zhao Shuo was a little anxious.

"Lord Wang, don't worry. Listen to the old slave. "Gonggong Feng is afraid that Zhao Shuo is fainting, and some of the six gods have no master." Our news is all based on Chu Jiu to find out, but as soon as the prince fainted, Chu Jiu and Ben were not in the mood to go out to find out the news, so we really have no way of knowing what happened in Guixi and Yiyang in the past few days. ”

"Ahem, cough~" Zhao Shuo couldn't help coughing a few times, and then looked at Fang Yunsheng. "Miss Fang, you must know."

"I~" Fang Yunshang looked at Zhao Shuo, and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhao Shuo sighed. "I just want to help the people who are still alive in Guixi, Yiyang and the surrounding counties if they can."

Listening to Zhao Shuo's words, Fang Yunshang shed tears, and at this time, she really understood what Wang Zongshi said. Zhao Shuo is indeed different from the Zhao family in the imperial court.

"Wang De and Xin Qizong are gone, and the officials and soldiers are also gone." Fang Yunshang convulsed twice. "Guixi and Yiyang counties have suffered the most damage, and there is no one out of ten. In the surrounding counties, more than half of the damage was made. ”

After finishing speaking, Fang Yunshang lowered his head. She covered her lips lightly, tears streaming down her cheeks any longer.

"Lord, lord, you're awake." Zhang Chujiu rushed in with an excited face.

"Chu Jiu, I have something to ask you." Zhao Shuo felt that Fang Yunshang should have something to hide, so as soon as he saw Zhang Chujiu, Zhao Shuo called him to his side.

"If the prince has anything to ask, just ask." Zhang Chujiu wiped his tears and said.

"How are Guixi and Yiyang now?" Zhao Shuo said.

Zhang Chujiu wanted to look back at Gonggong Feng, but was grabbed by Zhao Shuo. "Chu Jiu, do you want to lie to this king?"

Zhang Chujiu was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and said hurriedly. "The last general will not dare."

"How are Guixi and Yiyang now?" Zhao Shuo asked again.

"There have been heavy losses, people have been displaced, and for decades, prosperity has not been there." Zhang Chujiudao.

"What about the government? What about the imperial court? What are they doing now? Zhao Shuo then asked.

"The imperial court has issued an order and started disaster relief and rescue, the government has sent officials to maintain law and order, and county orders will come one after another." Zhang Chujiudao.

"Looks like my uncle is pretty smart?" Zhao Shuo snorted coldly. "What about the officers and soldiers, are they all gone?"

Hearing Zhao Shuo's words, Zhang Chujiu's expression became a little strange.

"What's wrong, say?" Zhao Shuo shouted.

"Lord, at this time, I shouldn't have laughed, but when the prince asked this question, I couldn't help but want to laugh." Zhang Chujiu said bitterly.

"What's going on?" Zhao Shuo was interested, and it could be heard from Zhang Chujiu's words that this time it should be a good thing.

"Lord Wang, that's the case, I just heard about it." Zhang Chujiu eased his tone and continued. "I heard that when Xin Qizong and Wang De left Guixi County, they were ambushed by a mob, and all Xin Qizong's troops were killed.

After stopping, Zhao Shuo laughed. Is there still a team in Guixi County that can ambush Xin Qizong? This is obviously impossible. The only explanation is that Wang De knew that Xin Qizong had killed 'Wang Zongshi'. then let go of the mob team led by Wang Zongshi, the county seat of Guixi, and let Zhao Shuo escape from it.

Therefore, Xin Qizong was killed, it should have been done by Wang De, there is no doubt about it. And the fact that the court did not hold Wang Dede accountable shows another thing, that is, Wang De killed Xin Qizong, and it is very likely that he received instructions from the imperial court. As for the reason, it should be that Xin Qizong disregarded the overall situation and let Zhao Shuo go in order to make meritorious contributions.

Zhao Shuo sighed. "After Wang Durban's return to the dynasty, he should not come again. Let's get ready, it's time to go. ”

"Why won't he come back?" Fang Yunshang asked suspiciously.

"He killed too much, it's okay to deal with Jin Bing, but when he deals with the mob, it will harm the people and lose the hearts of the people, my uncle is not stupid." Zhao Shuo said.

"Are we going to Hongzhou too?" Gonggong Feng asked.

Zhao Shuo shook his head. "We're going to Jiangzhou." (To be continued.) )
