The next day, at dawn, the sun had just risen, and some cool wind was blowing in the air.

After a full night of rest in the Yuanshan Temple, Lin Renzhao's army had recovered some of its strength, and today Lin Renzhao planned to sneak into Jinling City with Lin Jingcheng and several other generals in disguise.

Lin Renzhao, Lin Jingcheng, Yu Yan, Ma Chengjun and the rest of the generals under the leadership of Zhao Dezhao and Shang Haobin successively changed into ordinary people's clothes, and then several of them walked along the secret passage, holding torches, sneaking in the dark secret passage, and after a short time, they had arrived in the compound where the wine was stored in Qianjin Yixiaolou.

Yu Yan looked nervous, as if looking forward to it, when he came out of the gold and smiled, he immediately couldn't wait to go to Qingyin Pavilion to meet his wife and children, at this moment Yu Yan hugged his fist at Zhao Dezhao and said: "Thank you King Wei for saving your life, you haven't seen your wife and children for a long time, and I plan to go to Qingyin Pavilion to meet them, so that they can rest assured." ”

Zhao Dezhao saw that Lu Yan was homesick and knew his thoughts, so he said: "General Yu, that's okay, I'll let Shang Haobin send you over, take care all the way." We'll see you in the evening. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Yan turned around and said goodbye, for the grace of saving his life, Yu Yan could not repay him, and now taking refuge in King Wei is the best way to repay him.

Zhao Dezhao watched Shang Haobin escort Yan away, and a stone in his heart had already landed.

Lin Renzhao couldn't wait to say: "Your Highness, let's go to Chen's Mansion now, Chen Qiao, I have the confidence to deal with it." For Zhao Dezhao, their task now is to go to Chen Qiao's mansion, and as for the back, Lin Renzhao will naturally confess to Chen Qiao one by one, and it is with Lin Renzhao's confidence to persuade Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao is a little stubborn, and he may not be easy to persuade, Zhao Dezhao thought about it again and again, and muttered: "The kid also wants to meet Master Chen, if he can persuade him verbally, it would be great." If Master Chen insists on this, I, Zhao Dezhao, will not force him, I believe that in the end, he will still see everything clearly. ”

"Then there is His Highness Lao." Chen Qiao was kind to Lin Renzhao, Lin Renzhao arched his hand at Zhao Dezhao, and at this moment he looked at the direction of the Chen Mansion in the distance.

There were only Lin Renzhao and Lin Jingcheng who went to Chen's mansion, plus a Zhao Dezhao, and the three of them hired a donkey cart and went to Chen Qiao's mansion.

However, at the moment, they only know that Lin Jingmen is a deputy head in the forbidden army, maybe they can contact Lin Jingmen after arriving at the Chen Mansion, as the Runzhou Army, Lin Jingcheng believes that his brothers will be on their side.

Donkey carts walked slowly through the streets, and now that Jinling is at war, there are not many shops on both sides of the street, and business is much lower than usual.

The surrounding forbidden army and the government army patrolled the streets all the time, and the donkey cart turned through one street after another, and finally stopped at the gate of the Chen Mansion.

Chen Qiao and the three of them came out of the carriage, only to see that the door of the Chen Mansion was full of birds, since Chen Qiao resigned, he refused most of the officials to go to his mansion, which was also related to his secret contact with Lin Renzhao, the most important thing is to keep it secret, everything at the door of the Chen Mansion seemed a little gloomy in this season in early May.

The three of them walked to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and the steward at the door saw a donkey cart parked at the gate of the mansion, and immediately walked over and asked, "I don't know if the three of you have something important to see my family?" ”

Lin Renzhao looked at the steward of the Chen Mansion and said: "There is a steward of Lao Chen, Lin has seen the steward, but I don't know if the steward has ever remembered Lin." ”

Chen Shichao, the steward of the Chen Mansion, saw Lin Renzhao and seemed to have an impression of this dark-skinned and burly man, so he immediately patted his head and said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be General Lin, the little bottom is clumsy, I have seen General Lin, General Lin, please come in." ”

"I also asked Steward Chen to go in and report that Runzhou Lin Renzhao asked to see him." Lin Renzhao immediately handed over a greeting post to the steward Chen Shichao.

……

"Ah Lang, someone is asking to see you?" The steward Chen Shichao took a post and immediately hurried in to tell Chen Qiao.

Chen Qiao was still in the courtyard, enjoying the scenery in the corner, when he saw the steward coming, he immediately asked again and again, and then opened the post from the steward's hand. After a while, Chen Qiao looked happy, because Lin Renzhao suddenly appeared in Jinling City, which showed that Lin Renzhao must have a way to sneak into the city without knowing it, which also meant that their plan was about to come true.

However, Lin Renzhao suddenly appeared here, why wasn't he there in Zhongshan, Chen Qiao was a little suspicious about this, but he knew when he saw Lin Renzhao and asked him.

Chen Qiao couldn't help it, and he immediately instructed the steward Chen Shichao to let the three of them go to the hall.

In the hall, Chen Qiao had already asked people to prepare tea, which was specially given to Chen Qiao by Han Xizai later, and Zhao Dezhao knew that this was Longjing tea as soon as he saw the canned tea and the tea leaves in the teacup.

Longjing tea has been warm, the mist is soaring, and the hall is filled with a fresh smell of tea, which makes people feel very happy when they smell it.

Zhao Dezhao and Lin Jingcheng walked at the end together, so that Chen Qiao would not notice the abnormality for the time being, making people think that he was a general under Lin Renzhao. And when Zhao Dezhao visited Tang at that time, he also met Chen Qiao. Although he has been disguised for a while, Chen Qiao, who has vicious eyes, may recognize his identity at once.

Zhao Dezhao lowered his head, looking very respectful, and at this empty moment, he raised his head and took a quick look. When Zhao Dezhao saw Chen Qiao, although Chen Qiao's face was a little haggard, but at this moment he was very happy, Zhao Dezhao was very impressed by this official of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because in history Chen Qiao was equivalent to an upright official, he was diligent and diligent, and he had been persuading his king, but Li Yu was not a king who was good at governing the country, and finally the Great Song Dynasty army broke through Jinling, and the moment the city was broken, Chen Qiao planned to let the king die, but Li Yu finally surrendered, and Chen Qiao hanged himself in remorse.

Zhao Dezhao admired Chen Qiao's actions very much, at least he was an upright courtier, but the ending was a little miserable, and it was not worth it to work for a king like Li Yu.

Without waiting for Lin Renzhao to speak, Chen Qiao asked: "General Lin, I didn't expect us to meet so soon, it seems that General Lin has already made a bamboo in his chest, and our great cause of supporting the lord of the country is not far away." "To be honest, Chen Qiao is rarely so happy when he sees Lin Renzhao, as if something big is expected.

At this time, Lin Renzhao had already sat down, and Zhao Dezhao and Lin Jingcheng on the side also chose a remote position to sit down, and the two of them observed Lin Renzhao and Chen Qiao intently.

The subordinates on the side had also retreated under Chen Qiao's orders, Lin Renzhao's eyes skimmed, and he saw Zhao Dezhao looking confident, and then Lin Renzhao's throat moved, but said: "Master Chen, Lin came here today to discuss something important with you, as for this crusade against Li Congqing, Lin, as a common man of the Tang Dynasty, is naturally duty-bound for the people of the world and the justice of the world, but Lin Mou has a word I don't know if Master Chen will be angry after hearing it?" ”

Chen Qiao picked up the cup, Lin Renzhao's words surprised him a little, he pretended to pick up the cup, took a sip of the dragon well, looked at Lin Renzhao with a confused look in his eyes and said: "I don't know why General Lin said this, although I, Chen Qiao, am not the kind of person who loses his temper casually, but why is General Lin so selling, it is better to say it bluntly." ”

Since Chen Qiao is like this, Lin Renzhao still feels that he will say what is in his heart, at this moment Lin Renzhao has an extremely calm face, he quickly glanced at Zhao Dezhao, and then said to Chen Qiao: "Now the Tang Dynasty has been rotten, even if this Li Congqing has been ambushed, but who is the king we should support next?" ”

If it were a normal moment, Chen Qiao was the chief military minister and the leader of the Guangzheng Yuan, and he was his boss, at that time, Lin Renzhao was just a general with a humble status, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at will, but today, the status and views of the two of them have changed, and Lin Renzhao naturally wants to tell Chen Qiao about the general trend of the world.

Chen Qiaohu looked at Lin Renzhao suspiciously, he didn't know what Lin Renzhao meant by this, he immediately asked: "I don't know what General Lin said is that our king is naturally the lord of the country, who else is there?" Or Qingyuan County Duke (Li Yu's son). ”

"The lord of the country? Qingyuan County Gong? Lin Renzhao shook his head and sighed, "Master Chen, don't you know that the lord of the country and the family of Qingyuan County are now in Kaifeng, how can they return to Jiangning Mansion from the Song Kingdom safely?" ”

When Chen Qiao heard it, he was stunned, he didn't believe it after hearing it, he asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”

"The message is naturally reliable. Lin is not a liar, even if Li Congqing was ambushed, this Datang has long been riddled with holes, and it is no longer the Datang that we were loyal to at the beginning, such as today's general trend is favorable to the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are interested in dominating the world and saving the people from fire and water, not to mention that I, Lin Renzhao, have now figured it out, I, Lin Renzhao, should not only live for the emperor, but should live for the world. ”

Chen Qiao was a little angry when he heard this, he suddenly felt a feeling of annoyance in his chest, he covered his chest, and then opened his mouth, he understood the meaning of Lin Renzhao's words, and then he began to scold: "Lin Renzhao, you are bold, you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, how can you be loyal to the Song Kingdom?" ”

Lin Renzhao saw that Chen Qiao seemed to have vaguely known something, and he said: "Master Chen is foolish, the current lord of the country Li Yu is not the male lord, this Li Tang Jiangshan will sooner or later fall into the hands of the Song Kingdom, since Master Chen secretly knows my thoughts, you might as well adapt to the times, and the Great Song Dynasty will naturally treat you as a guest." ”

Lin Renzhao's temperament is still a little urgent, originally persuading people should not be like this, this kind of appearance will cause the persuader to not accept, Chen Qiao's temperament is not unknown to him, but Chen Qiao was so angry that his face turned pale, and if he continued like this, he would directly issue an eviction order. Zhao Dezhao also shook his head when he heard it.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward.
