Kaifeng City has become a mess.

The assassination of the Jurchen envoy in Kaifeng is not a trivial matter.

Yin Wumin of Kaifeng Mansion was even more taken aback, and hurriedly sent people to block the nine gates and arrest the murderer. It's just that the murderers are all dead, and no matter how many people are dispatched, it will be useless. But the city was full of chickens and dogs, and everyone was worried.

After Yu Yin escorted Zhao Chen back to the imperial city, he went home.

Along the way, I saw the forbidden army with sharp blades and the servants of Kaifeng Mansion, looking grim along the way.

Fortunately, Yuyin was familiar with the people, but he didn't encounter too much trouble. But looking at the appearance of those soldiers as if they were facing a great enemy, I couldn't help but feel a little funny in my heart.

Back home, Yuyin stepped through the door.

I saw Yan Nu coming out of the room, whispering to Yang Jinlian as he walked.

Looking at her calm appearance, Yu Yin couldn't help but admire.

What a calming breath!

The front foot killed someone, and the back foot became a housewife at home, as if nothing happened. But when you think about it, it's relieved. Did Yan slaves kill fewer people? In the battle of Chaoyangmen, it is said that nearly 100 Jurchens died at the hands of Yan Nu. How could a character who had experienced such a thing not be able to hold his breath, let alone shoot only one coachman.

"Brother Xiaoyi, it's okay outside."

When Yan Nu saw Yu Yin, Jiao Jing suddenly smiled.

No matter how it sounded, that tone seemed to be inviting merit, which made Yu Yin couldn't help laughing.

"It's so good, it's about to turn the sky upside down."

"Oh?"

"The Jurchen envoy was assassinated, Nanya ordered martial law in the whole city, and the Sanya forbidden army was dispatched to investigate and find the murderer along the way."

"That ......"

"It's okay, the murderers are all dead, it's a bunch of dead soldiers."

The two seemed to be chatting. In fact, it is a communication message.

The origin of Yannu's family learning. Cheng Zhou Dong's mastery, archery skills are amazing. She has a lot of strength, and she can shoot a two-stone strong bow. Hence this ambush. Yu Yin's task to Yan Nu was to prevent Xiao Qing from escaping. If you kill people in public, it will inevitably cause even greater turmoil. It's better to kill Xiao Qing without knowing it. It's not the best choice.

In the peach forest on the embankment of the Bianhe River, Yan Nu shot the coachman and the leading horse who pulled the cart with the carved arrows commonly used by the border army.

Then he abandoned his bow and arrows and quickly left.

With the scene at that time, no one would have noticed her existence at all.

In addition, Yan Nu is also an authentic Kaifeng head snake, and he has returned home before the incident broke out.

So much so that in the huge Jade Mansion, many people didn't know that Yan Nu had gone out. Even if they knew that Yan Nu was going out, they thought she was going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. It is even more impossible to associate her with the assassins who ambushed Xiao Qing.

Listening to Yu Yin's words, Yan Nu breathed a sigh of relief.

"This Kaifeng Mansion has been besieged by thieves. It's also a little messy. ”

"yes. Very messy. ”

The two smiled heartily and changed the subject.

Yang Jinlian didn't know what was going on. Said happily: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, let's enjoy the moon in the courtyard, how about it?" ”

"That's very good."

Yu Yin immediately responded: "I haven't played the piano for a long time since I said that I came from home, and this skill is almost rusty.

Today's beautiful scenery will help the fun...... By the way, don't forget to give Elder Li some gifts, don't be lazy. ”

Elder Li is Master Li.

Now he is a nun in Guanyin Temple and is the abbot of Guanyin Temple.

On weekdays, when she has nothing to do, she will also come to the Jade Mansion to sit down and talk about music with Yuyin, or teach Yannu Yang Jinlian the work of female red.

Coming and going, it's good like a family.

Yan Nu and Yang Jinlian heard this, so they hurriedly agreed.

Yu Yin went to the study and looked at the railing.

At this time, the sun is shining in the west, and the sky is red.

But I don't know what the Jin Mingchi will look like now?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Just as Yu Yin guessed, Jin Mingchi has become a mess.

The assassination of an envoy of a country in Kaifeng is the first time it has happened since the Song Dynasty. Not to mention that this messenger is still a Jurchen messenger.

Zhao Huan was in a hurry to repair relations with Jin Guo, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

When the news came, Zhao Huan was suddenly stupid!

How did this happen at this good end?

"Is Xiao Xianggong okay?"

Looking at Zhao Huan's anxious face, Xu Churen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

He could understand Zhao Huan's eagerness to make friends with Jin Guo, but he couldn't accept Zhao Huan's ways and methods. In order to stabilize the throne, the blood of thousands of soldiers was shed in vain. It was obviously a big victory, but in exchange for a result that was even more bleak than a victory. Although it is for political purposes, no matter how you think about it, it is unacceptable.

Xiao Qing?

Xu Churen sneered in his heart.

He has already received the news that Xiao Qing is dead!

He didn't know who killed him, or the details.

Anyway, as long as Xiao Qing is dead, other things have nothing to do with him.

Yin Wu Min of Kaifeng Mansion said: "The official family doesn't have to worry, according to Xiao Qing's entourage, when the assassin ambushed, Xiao Qing was rescued by his henchmen, and there should be no worries about his life." However, so far, there is no news of Xiao Qing, and he may have been injured. ”

"That's it!"

Zhao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, his slightly pale face suddenly turned red, and he said sharply: "Have you ever found out, who did it?" ”

Wu Min hurriedly said: "According to the oral confession present at the time, when the assassin made a move, he shouted to avenge the Liao people.

Moreover, the accent seems to be Yanyun's accent.

In addition, he carefully examined the corpses of the Assassins, and found that one of them had a lark motif around his neck. The Liao people are noble, so they can use sashimi as beauty, and the lark is from Yanyun, so the minister can be sure that this matter has nothing to do with my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wu Min's voice did not fall, but he heard someone on the side: "It is what I did, and it is not surprising to stab a lark." ”

The voice was slightly gloomy, and Wu Min looked up, but it was the new head of the household department and Tang Ke, the servant of the door.

Speaking of which, Wu Min and Tang Ke are both from the East Palace.

But the two have different political views, so it has always been. There are many contradictions.

Wu Min smiled coldly. What Tang Shangshu said is not impossible...... However, this sashimi is not indistinguishable from the old and the new. The lark sashimi on the assassin's body was at least ten years old. Ten years ago. The Liao people are still alive, how can it have anything to do with our dynasty? Tang Shangshu didn't feel that he had to involve my dynasty. Is it a matter of antagonism between the two countries? ”

Zhao Huan's face suddenly sank.

And Tang Ke was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The minister has no such intention, but he is worried that he will be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao, and he also asks the official family to learn from it." ”

The discord between the ministers of the DPRK and China is, in Zhao Huan's view, a good thing.

thinks that at the beginning, Zhao Ji relied on the contradictions between the ministers of the DPRK and China to quickly control the court.

He has known it since he was a child. The art of the Emperor is all about balance. If the ministers are all twisted into a rope, it is not a good thing for him.

Therefore, Zhao Huan had no intention of pursuing Tang Ke. Only snorted. Then the subject changed.

"The top priority is to find Xiao Xianggong as soon as possible.

If Xiao Xianggong really had an accident. I'm afraid things will get even more troublesome. Taishang Michi-kun will arrive in Tokyo soon, and I don't want any accidents to happen at this time. Wu Min, you immediately send someone to strengthen the protection of the mission, and I will let the former secretary of Wang Zongmi's palace cooperate with you, and you must not travel to the pool again...... It's a good Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's really a disappointment! ”

Zhao Huan said that, and drove back to the palace.

Wu Min and Tang Ke glanced at each other, snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Xu Churen watched coldly from the side, and a strange smile appeared on his thin face.

Find it, and let you look for it, and there will be no result. Since the seed man has made up his mind to do this, how can he find out for you?

That night, there was a curfew in Kaifeng Prefecture.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the first year of Jingkang passed under this noisy atmosphere.

I thought that Xiao Qing would appear soon, but who would have thought that after a whole night, there would be no trace of Xiao Qing.

This time, Zhao Huan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became nervous again.

Could it be that something really happened?

But on second thought, maybe Xiao Qing was really injured, so he hid for a while. But the question is, if this Xiao Qing doesn't appear, who should be responsible for the next thing? The release of 20,000 Jurchen captives is imminent, Xiao Qing is not there, who will preside?

By the way, isn't Wanyan Zongwang still there?

Zhao Huan immediately sent someone to inform the mission and inquire about Yan Zongwang's news.

The results that can be obtained made Zhao Huan a little disappointed.

Wanyan Zongwang had already left Tokyo, and it was estimated that he was already on his way back to Beijing at this time.

Why isn't there even a little wind?

Xiao Qing is missing, and Wanyan Zongwang is not there...... And the Jurchen deputy envoy Ulin Tasarum obviously can't be the master, so it's really troublesome.

No, we still have to find Xiao Qing!

If Xiao Qing doesn't appear for a day, the next thing will not be solved for a day, and it will be a troublesome matter after all.

As a result, the entire Sanya Forbidden Army went out to search for Xiao Qing's whereabouts in Kaifeng Mansion.

At the same time, in a mansion in Hulu Lane, located on the side of Gaoyang Zhengdian, Wanyan Zongwang had a gloomy face, glared angrily at Shanying who was sitting in front of him, and said nothing.

"Lang Jun, don't be annoyed, this is also the order of the big wolf lord."

Shanying doesn't seem to be much different from before, but it seems to be a little more calm.

He said softly: "Lang Jun led his troops south this time, and the whole army was annihilated, causing heavy casualties to my Jurchen boys. The big wolf lord was very dissatisfied with this, so he issued an order that Lang Jun should no longer interfere in military affairs, and that he must return to Shangjing with me as soon as possible and wait for inquiries. ”

After Yan Zongwang's face turned pale, he said angrily after a while: "Is it the sticky Han who provoked it?" ”

Speaking of which, in this battle of siege in the south, if Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army can conquer Taiyuan in time, and go south to Kaifeng and Zongwang to echo each other, the result of the battle of Kaifeng may be different. Historically, the shame of Jingkang also occurred precisely because the Western Route Army successfully marched south, cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Kaifeng, and formed an overall encirclement of Kaifeng.

According to the initial discussion, the Jurchen Eastern Route Army and the Western Route Army marched in two directions.

However, due to Wang Yu, the deputy head of the Xuanfu Division in Hebei, he led the Xuanfu Division to defend Taiyuan and firmly contain the strength of the Western Route Army, causing the Eastern Route Army to go south alone, so that the troops were insufficient. If you want to judge, Wanyan Zonghan should be the first crime. However, Wanyan Zongwang was captured, and the Eastern Route Army was annihilated, so that Wanyan Zonghan got a chance to breathe.

Shanying also knows that the contradiction between the separation and the sticky Han has been going on for a long time, and now it is indeed completely exploding.

In order to shirk his own guilt, Mu Han did not hesitate to push it out, trying to reduce his guilt.

As for whether Wanyan Wu beggars to buy believe in Sticky Han's statement? Shanying is not very clear.

Anyway, the order he got was to bring him back to Shangjing as soon as possible to ask for the crime.

But what exactly to deal with. Wanyan Wu begged to buy and did not explain kindly. It's just that Shanying didn't expect it. When I arrived in Tokyo, I encountered this kind of trouble. Xiao Qing was stabbed and disappeared, and there has been no news so far. How could he not be worried?

It stands to reason that Xiao Qing is not here, and it is most appropriate for Wanyan Zongwang to come forward to preside over the overall situation.

But Shanying didn't dare to decide like this!

Finish Yan Wu's order to buy. It is to let Wanyan Zongwang be separated from the East Route Army. The general meaning of it, Shanying can also understand, it is nothing more than that he does not want Yan Zongwang to continue to control the military power. The Jurchens seem to be united, but in fact they are also fighting internally.

Whether it's sticky or not, it's all after the fight.

Although Wanyan Wu begs to buy the wolf, his position is not stable. He also wants his children and grandchildren to inherit the throne, so whether it is sticky or not, it doesn't matter. Having military power is not a good thing. It's best to control it by your own children.

Wanyan Zongwang stared at Shanying, and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Xiao Xianggong. I'm afraid there will be more than one luck. ”

"We know."

"Do you know why you're letting me leave at this time?"

Shanying lowered his head. There was no answer.

Wanyan Zongwang is not a fool, in fact, this guy is also extremely smart.

Suddenly. He sneered, and the anxious look on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a calm color.

"I see!"

He sighed and said in a deep voice: "If Xiao Xianggong really has an accident, who will preside over the overall situation?" ”

"The wolf lord has his own opinions, and there is still a Urintha in the mission, and he will be able to solve the immediate trouble...... However, how did Lang Jun know that Xiao Xianggong had an accident? ”

Wanyan Zongwang was silent!

After a while, he said softly: "You and I have underestimated the southerners, although this old Zhao official's family is unbearable, but among the southerners, there are indeed heroes."

I knew long before that when someone had a dark flower, it wasn't going to be that simple.

Now, in broad daylight, there was an ambush, and there were nearly 100 assassins, but none of them survived...... National teacher, do you know what this means? ”

Shanying shook his head, "But I don't know." ”

"Hmph, although these people speak Yanyun dialect, there are also people with lark sashimi painted on their bodies, what do they say to avenge the Liao people...... ! The remnants of the Liao people now occupy the Western Liao, although they have gained a firm foothold, they are indeed attached to the Western Xia.

They could not have acted, nor did they have the courage to do so, otherwise Western Xia would not allow it.

Therefore, I concluded that this matter had nothing to do with the Liao people...... The one who is most likely to do it is the southerners. But among the people of the Manchu Dynasty, who can raise so many dead soldiers, and at the same time have ten years of sashimi, they will never be idle. Old Zhao Guanjia doesn't need to think about it, I guess that the person who launched this assassination must be in a high position and has great strength.

He saw the importance of Xiao Xianggong and my Dajin, so he wanted to assassinate Xiao Xianggong at all costs.

National teacher, I have a feeling that that person will never let me go easily, and may even assassinate Xiao Xianggong again. ”

After saying this, for some reason, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly had an unspeakable fear.

Shanying's face was not too good-looking, he only looked at Zong Wang quietly, and suddenly got up after a while and said, "Don't worry, Lang Jun, we are entrusted by the wolf lord and will definitely protect you." But what you said is not wrong, Kaifeng is not a place to stay for a long time...... Tomorrow morning, we will set off, and we must leave here as soon as possible. As for other things...... Lang Jun don't worry. ”

Zong Wang's face returned to normal, and he smiled helplessly: "I want to be worried, is it useful?" ”

He pondered for a moment, and said with a straight face: "National teacher, we can probably guess the wolf master's thoughts, if Xiao Xianggong really has an accident, I'm afraid that Pu Luhu will be in charge of the overall situation." Let's not say that Puruhu is useless, but he is too young to suppress the scene.

It is best to let Zong Xian preside over the overall situation, he has a high prestige, and he is by no means comparable to Puluhu. Although it is a little reckless, it can also come in handy when it is critical. If Zongxian presides over the overall situation, there is still a little vitality. If Puruhu is allowed to preside, it is likely to ......"

Wanyan Zongwang said this part, which can be regarded as an expression of attitude.

I withdraw from this power struggle, and I can also hand over the Eastern Route Army, but I can't hand it over to Commander Wanyan Puluhu.

He could guess what Yan Wu was thinking, and he thought that he had taken a big step back.

Shanying thought for a while and said softly: "Don't worry, Lang Jun, I'll go and discuss this matter with Urin Tasarum." ”

"The national teacher, the life of 20,000 sons of the Eastern Route Army will be entrusted to the national teacher."

Zong Wang said, got up and slammed towards Shanying to the ground.

Shanying felt bitter in his heart: Erlangjun, aren't you embarrassing me?

Now that you understand the wolf master's mind, why are you getting involved? The reason why the wolf lord doesn't want you to have any more contact with the Eastern Route Army is because your prestige is too high, and he wants to take the opportunity to weaken your military power, so that Puluhu can control the Eastern Route Army.

Although Zong Xian is good, he may not be able to win the favor of the wolf master.

If you don't get it right, you can't say that even Wanyan Zongxian will fall into it......

It's just these words, he really doesn't know how to say them to Wanyan Zongwang.

He nodded immediately and walked out noncommittally.

He didn't see Shanying's back leaving, and suddenly let out a long sigh, as if saying to himself: "The Eastern Route Army, it's dangerous!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kaifeng City is in turmoil, and a day has passed unconsciously.

At dawn, the flags were unfurled in the school field of the Zhushufu Mansion, and the prince's pro-army was lined up neatly.

Yu Yin still didn't wear armor, dressed as a scholar, standing on the platform, his eyes swept over the soldiers under the stage.

Although Zhao Huan spent a lot of effort to reorganize the prince's army, it was not as good as before.

In the first battle of Chen Qiao, there was no one in ten, and the prince's army could be said to be wounded, and it was by no means able to recover its combat strength in a short time.

Still, it's enough!

Now the prince's army is also full of talents.

Gao Chong, He Yuanqing and other old departments are still there, and Yang Zaixing, Ling Wei, Di Qing, Zhang Xi, Yu Peng and others have joined.

Zhu Meng said that although he stayed in Kaifeng, he was no longer subordinate to the prince's army. But it added a cliché, which was better than Zhu Meng's theory.

Not to mention, Wu Jue's addition can be regarded as the completion of the last piece of the puzzle of the prince's army. It's not that Dong Xian is not good enough, it's just that compared with Wu Jue, Dong Xian has obvious shortcomings. He is good at training, but he is not good at commanding in battle.

This point was vividly highlighted during the Battle of Chenqiao.

With such a famous general as Wu Jue, Yu Yin can finally put his mind at ease.

With such soldiers and horses, they are also considered strong in the Sanya Forbidden Army.

Yu Yin narrowed his eyes, and there was a little more anticipation in his heart. Next, he only needs to do his best to shield this army from the wind and rain, so that the prince's army can thrive. When it really matures, it will inevitably burst out with terrifying combat power.

Thinking of this, Yu Yin's eyes added a little softness.

He picked up the arrow and said in a deep voice: "Pass my order, and the three armies will be pulled!" ”
