Chapter 104: Danger at Dusk

Zhao Zhen took the wine cup in Zhang Guifei's hand, sat down on her lap, took a sip of wine, and fed some wine into Zhang Guifei's mouth with his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhang Guifei drank the wine from Zhao Zhen's mouth, smiled more and more coquettishly, and looked at Queen Cao's expression with her eyebrows, making that smile seem to be full of trouble. Yes, that's a troublesome smile.

Empress Cao looked virtuous, sitting next to Zhao Zhen, from beginning to end, she seemed to be a wooden person without a trace of feeling, Mu Mu watched Zhao Zhen and Zhang Guifei, this batch of show affection is not a big deal about the dog food distribution process.

"This is what you said, Concubine Ai, Fang Aiqing assisted you in rehearsing the dance? Square dancing? Zhao Zhen felt that this dance was a bit magical and indescribable, but when he saw Zhang Guifei looking at him expectantly, he had to say something appreciative.

"Fang Aiqing, it's definitely a talent-" Zhao Zhen said, his thoughts went back to the day before yesterday, when he told Fang Zhongyong that he wanted to send Xia Zhu to the border, but Xia Zhu passed the buck to Han Qi, Fang Zhongyong came up with a crooked idea for him:

Taking Xia Zhu's personal life style as the starting point, he was tired of running for his life, and he was naturally willing to give up Jingshi.

When the time comes, His Majesty will be able to push the boat down the river, and Xia Zhu will know Yanzhou.

In this way, Han Qi has been sent to Zhiqinzhou, with the existing Wang Yan Zhiweizhou, Pang Zhiqingzhou, and the soldiers and horses of each and her own roads are deployed, and the border envoys can be formed for Your Majesty to watch over each other. Investigate the changes in Western Xia in detail. ā€

Originally, Zhao Zhen also trusted Xia Zhu more, and it was naturally the best to arrange it like Fang Zhongyong. But the old emperor must be willing to preserve the etiquette of the master and apprentice. Fang Zhongyong's crooked idea is really amazing.

"Fang Aiqing is really rare, someone who is willing to plan for me-" Zhao Zhen couldn't help muttering to himself when he thought of this. looked at Zhang Guifei in front of her, and her expression was even more pity and gentleness.

Zhao Zhen naturally didn't know that sending Xia Zhu to Yanzhou was for another purpose in Fang Zhongyong's heart.

Because just a year later, Li Yuanhao is about to ascend the throne and become emperor. His claim to the emperor was not the result of all the people, but he adopted the strategy of people blocking and killing, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddhas.

So, his uncle Wei Mingshan Yu took the whole family and a large number of treasures and defected to the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Guo Quan, the prefect of Yanzhou at that time, who was harmed by the concept of etiquette and religion, actually sent Wei Mingshan back to China.

Then, Li Yuanhao shot Wei Mingshan and his family to death on the Song-Xia border, allowing everyone to see the fate of daring to defect.

Damn Guo Quan, this old master and civil official waste, in the face of this kind of person who has the level of a living map of Western Xia in his head, and he didn't bring any army and his family, he can completely accept it and then investigate and inspect his loyalty, and then the person who has a great effect, actually took:

Lao Tzu, the Heavenly Empire, it is not uncommon for you to surrender. This stupid gesture.

And if Xia Zhu was sent to this position at this time, it would be very different.

With Xia Zhu's person, the cliff is to accept this high-ranking official of Western Xia, and then publicize and invite rewards, so as to take the credit of the surrender of Weiming Mountain on his own head and get some rewards.

Moreover, from the history of Xia Zhuzhi in the Song-Xia War, it can also be clearly seen that his hooligan methods are no worse than Li Yuanhao.

Such a rogue talent, staying in the capital, will only increase the difficulty coefficient of internal friction and party strife, and put it on the side to deal with Li Yuanhao, but it can add a lot of trouble to Li Yuanhao.

……

Since the incident of his wife's complaint, Xia Zhu's boutique life has been chaotic.

Xia Zhu really couldn't understand why so suddenly, the big words he said to his concubine and to the ** sisters who were acting outside, the love letters he wrote and the letterhead that cursed his wife were actually taken and passed to his wife one by one.

Mrs. Xia, Xu, is the daughter of Xu Yuanliang, the former secretary of the Ministry of War, when she got married, she was also hired by three media, six hired, and eight sedan chairs were married home. After so many years, although there are occasional discords, they are still husband and wife.

This damn "waste firewood carrier pigeon express", what kind of goods, dare to openly assist the Xu family in collecting evidence and delivering it to Kaifeng Mansion. A businessman who runs a courier thinks he is a Buddha? Take care of the east and the west, deliberately add chaos, don't kill you, you don't know my Xia Zhu's methods.

When Xia Zhu thought of this, he hated it so much.

Rao is Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion, and he has no personal grudges with Xia Zhu, and he did not deliberately publicize it, but in the end, this matter quickly spread throughout Bianjing.

It has only been more than a month since Han Qi went on the road, and Xia Zhu finally tossed to the point where he couldn't get along in the capital for a while.

With a deep understanding of his student Zhao Zhen, Xia Zhu decided to invite himself out of Beijing to avoid the limelight for the time being. At the same time, I cried with Zhao Zhen, and I must make the "waste firewood pigeon express" suffer.

If it weren't for the fact that Kaifeng Mansion was now in Bao Zheng's hands, no one would be able to move, and Xia Zhu would have sent a relationship to let Kaifeng Mansion raid the "Waste Firewood Pigeon Express" hundreds of times.

……

In the winter of Jing Yu's fourth year, the weather seemed to be reversed. In the month of Layue, the river blooms with snow and willows and spits buds, the official road is muddy, and the long gruel pot is like an overturned. However, in three or five days, it snowed heavily, flying all over the sky with hailstones, fluffy and accumulating half a foot thick.

Liu Yue'e and Zheyi, as well as 50 cavalry and 50 infantry, escorted the batch of ordnance and marched along the official road in the direction of Gyeongju.

"It's two or three days' walk from the destination." Zhe still raised his hand and gently covered his forehead, looking into the distance.

Liu Yue'e took off the pipa-shaped sheepskin water bag tied to the horse's back, opened it, took a sip, and threw it again.

Ori still took the water bag from the air lightly and drank the water. Look at the sun, give the order to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then continue on the road.

In the face of the wind and snow, they finally walked until dusk, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves far and near. Not long after, on the hill north of the official road, the horse's hoof wind gradually appeared, and the strange glow reflected in the snow made the official road a strange gold.

"Be on guard." Liu Yue'e raised the orange banner of preparing for battle, and all the cavalry immediately put on their horses to protect the soldiers escorting the ordnance, while the infantry put on a crooked shield formation, and many people looked to the north with a slight trembling.

On the northern slope of the mountain, whistling and roaring, the party cavalry in strange styles of armor and fur were divided into two formations, and the bows and crossbows in their hands shone in the snow.

"Good news, bad news, which one to listen to?" Zhi still said lightly to Liu Yue.

"Let's talk about it, Mali." Liu Yue'e didn't want to experience any black humor at this time.

"The bad news is that there are hundreds of enemy soldiers on sight. The good news is that it doesn't seem to be the iron harrier that Master Fang talked about. Looks like they're coming for the ordnance and armor we have. ā€

The jade face, which was still cold, became more and more pale. The male and female double-strand swords in his hand also became tighter and tighter.

……

On this snowy evening, Ma Erya was also deeply happy.
