As the cultivator had guessed, Kaifeng City was now like a big funnel, and there was no news to hide at all.

As soon as Yu Yin's front foot came out of the Chenzhou Gate, Yan Zongwang got the news.

"How many Song troops are there?"

"Back to the second prince, the Song army dispatched about 3,000 people."

"Gao Shangshu, what do you think?"

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang decisively asked Gao Qingyi's opinion.

Gao Qingyi looked solemn and did not answer immediately, but asked Wu Xiaomin: "The negotiation of the old Zhao official family is still smooth?" ”

"It didn't go well."

Wu Xiaomin, who is also from Bohai, said with a wry smile: "In the past two days, the attitude of the old Zhao official family has become more and more tough, and they do not agree to rule across the river, and the military expenditure has been pressed to four million. The slave thinks that six million taels is a bottom line, and it is unlikely that he will rule across the river. What Li Ze said was: The three towns of Taiyuan can be ceded, but they will never agree to rule across the river. ”

Wan Yan Zongwang's eyes narrowed, "Old Guan'er Zhao agreed to cede the three towns?" ”

"Roughly so!"

If Zhao Huan behaves too toughly, or too weakly, Gao Qingyi will inevitably be suspicious.

But Zhao Huan's attitude was in line with the speculation of him, Guo Yaoshi and others, and it made him put down a lot of heart.

"It seems that Old Guan'er Zhao still wants to negotiate peace."

Gao Qingyi glanced at Wanyan Zongwang and said with a smile: "As for sending the prince's army south, it is reasonable. I've heard that the Taishang Daojun is recruiting troops in Jinling, and he seems to be unwilling to give up power like this...... Previously, Liu Yu, the envoy of Jinan Xuanfu, received an edict. Let him lead his troops south to Jinling to converge. If that's the case, we can get a bigger deal this time. Old Guan Zhao sent a Laoshizi Zong Ze over, which was considered timely. Otherwise, we will definitely make a mess on Gyeonggi East Road, which is really a pity! ”

Zhao Ji made too much trouble in Jinling, so much so that Gao Qingyi and others thought it. Zhao Ji has crossed Zhao Huan's bottom line.

In this way, it is reasonable for Zhao Huan to send the prince's army south.

If you change to other soldiers and horses. Zhao Ji may be jealous.

But if it's the prince's army...... Gao Qingyi knew that before Zhao Ji took the throne, he loved the prince Zhao Chen the most. From this point of view. Zhao Chen's prince's pro-army went to Jinling, which could indeed make Zhao Ji feel at ease and not have to be afraid.

The first battle of Kaifeng made Zhao Huan's throne stable.

Most of the achievements in resisting the Jurchens were placed on the scholars, but Zhao Huan sat in Kaifeng, and indeed won a lot of points for him.

If Zhao Ji is smart, he won't make trouble again.

Otherwise, it will offend most of the Song people...... To be honest, it started when Zhao Ji fled south. It was destined that it would be difficult for him to regain the throne.

Whether it is Gao Qingyi or Guo Yaoshi, although he looks down on Zhao Ji, he also thinks that Zhao Ji is a smart person and will not see the situation clearly.

Besides. What can 3,000 people do?

"Continue to negotiate peace with Old Guan'er Zhao, but the conditions can be appropriately lowered."

Gao Qingyi thought about it, and said to Wanyan Zong: "Strive to end the peace negotiation within three days...... Seeing that mid-spring is coming, if it can't be ended as soon as possible. I'm afraid that there will be variables. It is important to cross the river before February to ensure safety. ”

Wanyan Zong listened to it and nodded again and again.

"In this way, according to what Gao Shangshu said."

As for the Song army that went south, they had left it behind.

The most important thing now is to complete the peace negotiations as soon as possible, and by the way, bite off a piece of meat from the old Zhao official's body......

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

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the first year of Jingyasu, Yuyin left Tokyo.

But he didn't expect that after he left Tokyo, the imperial city of Kaifeng Mansion would also be in chaos.

"The little brother is gone?"

In the West Bedroom Pavilion, Zhao Huan was shocked into a cold sweat, "The sage Hugh wants to laugh with me, this is so good, how could he not see the little brother?" ”…,

Zhu Lian lost his former dignified grace at this time, and he was almost about to cry!

"How dare the concubine make fun of this?

Last night, the little brother said that he was going to play with Huanhuan. The official family also knew that the little brother and Huan Huan had always been close, so the concubine didn't think too much about it, so she agreed to the little brother. But in the afternoon, the concubine didn't see the little brother come back, so she asked people to go to Huan Huan's palace to find him. Who knows, the people on Huan Huan's side said that Huan Huan took her little brother to Fujin's house to play last night, and she didn't come back at all. The concubine hurriedly sent someone to Cai's mansion to inquire, but Fujin said that Huan Huan and the little brother did not go over yesterday at all...... The concubine was in a hurry, so she hurriedly came to report the matter to the official family......"

Zhao Huan, stunned!

Why is even the imperial sister Emperor Roufu missing?

"Where is Huan Huan now?"

Zhu Lian shook his head, "The concubine doesn't know, and Huan Huan is gone." ”

"Could it be that I'm going to find the eighteenth sister?"

Zhu Lian was stunned, thought about it for a while, and hurriedly said, "The concubine here sent someone home to inquire." ”

Zhao Duofu and Zhu Xuan and Zhu Fengying sisters have a good relationship, so it is very possible.

In the past, she had stayed overnight at Zhu's house and never returned, but the question is, Zhao Duofu went to find Zhu Xuan, so why did he say that he went to Cai's mansion?

Zhu Lian was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Not long after, the people sent to Zhu's Mansion came back!

Not only did the people who went to Zhu's Mansion come back, but even Zhu Guina also came......

"The eighteenth sister said yesterday that she entered the palace to find Emperor Roufu, didn't she come over?"

"What?"

Zhao Huan is going crazy!

Seeing that the siege of Kaifeng was about to end, how could such a thing come about.

Not only is the crown prince missing, but even Emperor Roufu and Zhu Xuan are missing. He looked at Zhu Lian and then at Zhu Guina.

Qiang pressed the panic in his heart, "Don't worry about the father-in-law and the saint, this Kaifeng Mansion is heavily guarded, and there will never be an accident." ”

"And where did they go?"

"This ......"

Zhao Huan patted his forehead, also at a loss.

"Who does my brother like to be with on weekdays?"

"Well...... Zhu Lian thought for a moment. In the palace, it is to play with Huan Huan, and outside...... Gao Yaoqing, Zhu Xuan, it's all possible. But if you talk about getting closer, the concubine feels that the little brother has a good impression of Yu Xiaoyi.

Official. The concubine remembered! ”

Zhao Huan hurriedly asked, "What do you think of?" ”

"Two days ago, the little brother accidentally mentioned Taishang Daojun and said that he missed it very much.

This time, Yu Xiaoyi went south to welcome Taishang Daojun, will it ...... Taishang Daojun loves Huan Huan the most. She also said that she misses her uncle. ”

Zhao Huan shuddered.

"Could it be that Yu Xiaoyi took them away?"

Zhu Guina said angrily: "This jade Xiaoyi." It's really bold. ”

Zhao Huan shook his head with a wry smile and said softly: "Don't blame Yu Xiaoyi...... I thought that this matter probably had nothing to do with Yu Xiaoyi. ”

"Huh?"

"Yu Xiaoyi's ...... this time"

Zhao Huan glanced left and right, and shouted: "Pass on my message, no one is allowed to walk without permission within three hundred steps outside the West Bedroom Pavilion, and violators will be killed." ”

Outside the palace, there was an immediate response from the guards.

Zhu Guina and Zhu Lian's faces changed, and they suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Yu Xiaoyi led the prince's army south, not to Jinling.

The day before yesterday, Chongqing consulted with me. wanted to teach Yan Zongwang a lesson and beat them into arrogance. Therefore, in the name of welcoming and returning the Taishang Daojun, I ordered Yu Xiaoyi to lead the prince's army south. But the specific situation is only known to Chongqing, and I am not particularly clear. Yu Xiaoyi's southward movement was just an excuse. He himself knows the seriousness of the matter, and it is impossible to take his little brother and Huanhuan away...... I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter. You say, could it be the Jurchens? ”…,

Yu Yin took the prince's army out to fight, so it was naturally impossible to take Zhao Chen and Emperor Roufu to mess around.

Zhao Huan is very clear about this......

One thing came to his mind.

At the beginning, the prince of Ma Hang Street was assassinated. The killer has not yet been found.

Later, when the Jurchen soldiers came to the city, this matter was temporarily put behind me...... Now that Zhao Chen and Zhao Duofu are missing, will it have anything to do with this matter?

The more Zhao Huan thought about it, the more frightened he felt, so he looked at Zhu Guina.

Zhu Guina's face became ugly!

After the assassination on Mahang Street, it was the Kaifeng Mansion that was responsible for solving it.

But due to the arrival of the Jurchens, Zhu Guina had to temporarily put the matter aside and assist Li Gang in guarding Kaifeng City.

What Zhao Huan said is very likely.

If this is the case, wouldn't Zhao Chen be in danger?

He gritted his teeth and said softly, "This matter is quite likely!"

Before the daughter smiled and Dai Xiaolou was a Jurchen meticulous work, and Feng Zheng, the head of Fengle Building, was also the eyes and ears of the Jurchens...... But later, just as the minister was about to take Feng Zheng, Feng Zheng died suddenly. The minister always thought that this matter was quite strange, so he secretly ordered someone to continue to investigate. In this Kaifeng Mansion, there must still be the ears and eyes of the Jurchens.

Now the official family is negotiating peace with the thief, maybe the thief kidnapped the little brother and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the official family into submission......

The minister dared to ask the official family to grant the Kaifeng Mansion full authority to deal with this matter.

The minister didn't believe it, as long as the little brother was still in Kaifeng Mansion, there would not be even any news. ”

Zhu Guina, this is going to be ruthless!

Feng Zheng's original suicide was already full of suspicions.

In the autopsy report, he also pointed out that although Feng Zheng died of poisoning, there were obvious traces of struggle before he died. In other words, it is most likely that someone forcibly injected poison and killed Feng Zheng. Then this person must have an inextricable relationship with Feng Zheng, and may even know that Feng Zheng is a fine work, and he has secretly cooperated with Feng Zheng.

Zhu Guinan's arrest of Feng Zheng was a secret operation.

He learned Feng Zheng's identity from Zhao Fujin, and was about to make a move, when Feng Zheng was killed......

There are a lot of articles in this!

The minister thought that this matter was widely implicated, and it was likely to hurt the royal face.

So the minister has been secretly tracking...... I also want to save face for the royal family. But now, there is no longer any hesitation. ”

It was the first time Zhao Huan heard this statement, and he was also angry!

You must know that Zhao Chen is his lifeblood and his only son.

Although he accepted the tenth lady, when it comes to pampering, it is still Zhu Lian. Zhao Chen is the crystallization of his love with Zhu Lian, and he is the future ruler of the Great Song Empire. can't even keep his beloved son, so how sad is he, the emperor?

"In this way, I have full authority to deal with this matter.

Anyone dares to stop it. Lawfully kill on sight; Anyone who dares to intercede and admonish will be killed...... Since Taizu established a rule, he must not kill ministers without permission. My Zhao clan thinks that I am generous enough to the people who read the world, but these people don't know whether they live or die. ”

"The old minister will go down and make arrangements."

Zhu Guina didn't say a word, and walked out of the West Bedroom.

looked at Zhu Lian's appearance of six gods and no owner. Zhao Heng felt distressed for a while, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her in his arms, and said softly: "The saint should not worry. Didn't the abbot also say that as long as the little brother is still in Kaifeng Mansion, there will be no accidents. ”

But Zhu Lian raised his head. Tears in my eyes.

"Official, what if the little brother is not in Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Impossible...... Now the nine gates of Kaifeng are closed, and they are heavily guarded.

There are so many people as Little Brother, Huan Huan and Eighteen Sisters, how can they escape from the sight of the guards of the Nine Gates? Since there is no news from the guards of the Nine Gates, it means that the little brother is still in the city. Don't worry, tomorrow at the latest, there will be news of the little brother. ”…,

But for some reason, Zhu Lian is still not at ease.

People say that the son is the flesh of the mother's heart, the induction of the mother and the son. The most keen.

She has an intuition: Zhao Chen is no longer in Kaifeng City.

But where would he be if he wasn't in the city?

For a while, Zhu Lian was at a loss and was stunned. I couldn't speak for a long time......

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

The turmoil in Kaifeng City, Yu Yin naturally didn't know.

After he led the prince's army out of the city, he made a gesture of marching towards Maozhou and went all the way south.

When night approached, Yuyin suddenly gave the order to stop advancing.

"House rate. Further ahead is the state of millizhou, do you want to send someone to inform the governor of millizhou to make arrangements, rest in millizhou tonight, and leave tomorrow? ”

Yu Yin, take a deep breath.

"Tonight, there will be no rest."

"Huh?"

Dong Xian and the others were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Yu Yin in surprise.

"Passing my command, the three armies turned and marched north.

Baggage utensils should be destroyed on the spot, and no trace should be left behind. ”

"Going north?" Dong Xian was puzzled: "Fu rate, aren't we going south to welcome the Taishang Daojun?" ”

Yu Yin smiled slightly, and said softly: "Welcoming and returning to the Taishang Daojun is just a pretense, we must arrive at the Guangji River by tomorrow." ”

Dong Xian heard this and gasped.

"Tonight's march is silent, and after daybreak, cease its advance."

"Whoa!"

Speaking of which, if Dong Xian still doesn't understand what Yu Yin means, he is really an idiot.

What is too much to welcome and be too high, that's all fake! The purpose of this trip was probably to fight the thieves, not to go south.

Since the Battle of Kaifeng, Dong Xian has only participated in the Battle of Chaoyangmen once.

That battle was indeed tragic, but for Dong Xian, it was indeed a hearty experience.

Not being able to go into battle to kill the enemy in person is a regret in his heart...... Originally, he was reluctant to go south to welcome what was too high. This is a good opportunity to build your career. If you leave Kaifeng, it is equivalent to losing the opportunity.

But now it seems......

The smile on Dong Xian's face could hardly be concealed.

He arched his hand and sang: "Rest assured, the end will understand!" ”

"Brother, are we going to fight the thief?"

Gao Zhong He Yuanqing, Yang Zaixing and others have completely understood at this time.

Several people surrounded Yu Yin and asked softly.

Yang Zaixing grinned and said: "The old general Huyan's guess is really good, at this time, what is the king of Lao Shizi, the most important thing is to kill first." ”

Zhu Meng said: "Fu rate, at this time, it's time to explain the purpose." ”

Yu Yin shook his head, "The time is not yet ripe...... When it's time to explain it to you, I will explain it myself.

Until then, let me restrain my sons and daughters not to leak the slightest rumor. Jin Qing, you and Da Lang will not close the front road at night, if you encounter an enemy situation, you must not engage in battle, you need to report to me immediately. Alright, everyone go down, control the people of the headquarters, and speed up the march. Before dawn, we have to find a place to hide......"

When everyone heard this, they received their orders in unison.

Yu Yin raised his eyes to look north, and his face showed a hideous look.

Money rat tail, this time it's going to make you look good!

"Sister, something doesn't seem right."

In the rapidly marching procession, a petite Song army urged his horse forward and stopped beside a leader of the Song army, "Aren't you going south?" Why did you suddenly go north? It seems that there is a state in front of you, and it would be the opposite to go north. ”

The officer had a good face and a heroic spirit.

His face also became ugly, and he said softly: "Huanhuan, it doesn't seem quite right." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid we don't want to go south to meet the Taishang Daojun, but to go north to fight the thieves. …,

I said, with his Yu Xiaoyi's temperament, how could he leave Tokyo at this time? I'm afraid he has a secret order, and this time, we're going to be in trouble. ”

The petite Song Jun was stunned when he heard this, "You want to beat the thief?" ”

As he was talking, he saw a short Song Jun urging him to come up, and his voice was still a little childish, "Auntie, did you just say that you want to beat the thief?" ”

"Yes, looking at it like this, it seems that Xiao Yi is not going south, but going north."

Another Song Jun came over, "Huanhuan, what should I do?" Otherwise, let's go and explain to Xiao Yi and go back. ”

"No way!"

The childish Song Jun immediately objected, "Eighteen sisters, didn't you hear it?" My aunt just said that Xiao Yi has a secret order, which means that it is a secret operation. If we go back at this time, wouldn't we be startling the snake and ruining Xiao Yi's big thing? ”

"But ......"

"Eighteen sisters, it's rare to encounter such an opportunity.

I've practiced all my skills, but I don't have a chance to go into battle and kill the enemy. This time, I will fight with Xiao Yi, and after taking the head of the thief, I will go back to report the good news to the queen mother, and the father and mother will be very happy. Anyway, I didn't go back, I finally came out, and when I went back, I never had this chance again. Besides, if you go back now, you will also be punished by your father and mother, so it is better to make a contribution and go back, I can't say that the queen mother and father will be happy. ”

Will it be happy?

Two Song Jun, you look at me, I look at you, a little overwhelmed.

It's impossible to say whether the officials and saints will be happy, but once they are punished, they can't run away.

If you go and explain to Yuyin now, you still have a chance to go back.

But in their hearts, the two of them are ready to move.

Go into battle and kill the enemy!

This kind of opportunity is not something that can be encountered casually.

It will also be an honor to go back in the future, and to talk about it with other sisters......

"Sister Wang, what do you say?"

"This ......"

Without waiting for the officer to speak, Song Jun, who was still a little childish in his speech, said, "What do you say? Just listen to me!

You women are so annoying, do you want to back down when the time comes?

Great, wait until you get to the destination and explain to Xiao Yi, and by the way, you can also watch a lively scene.

By the way, didn't Xiao Yi say that Wang Niangzi's martial arts are strong, and she is a hero...... Could it be that Mrs. Wang is afraid? ”

This little guy actually used a radical method.

When the officer heard this, although he knew that this little guy was scheming, he couldn't help but say: "What did the little brother say, when was the concubine afraid?" ”

"That's it, aren't you afraid to hesitate?"

After the little guy finished speaking, he waved his hand on horseback, "Let's go, don't fall out of the line, I can't say that I will be scolded again." (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
