Chapter 40: Knowing the Homeland

Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei glanced at each other, Wei Qianxue saw that the two of them looked wrong, and hesitated: "If Brother Hua is inconvenient, Xue'er will send him away." ”

Qin Fei smiled: "It's okay, let him in." After Wei Qianxue went out, she said to Xiang Chonghua: "Who will come to you from Jiang Guoren?" Could it be that someone recognized you at the field hunting ceremony? ”

Xiang Chonghua gritted his teeth and said: "I had a martial arts experience with Xiao Xian in Yongguo before, and it is not impossible for him to recognize my face. If he wants to catch me and ask Xi Lihua for credit, it's a big deal to fight with him. ”

Qin Fei said: "No matter how close General Jiang Guo is with the crown prince, he will not blatantly provoke Liu Xiwei. If the person who comes is not good, we can use our relationship with Liu Xiwei to deal with it. But if we lose our rudeness first, they will have an excuse to ask Liu Xiwei for someone. Liu Xiwei is too busy to take care of himself now, and when the time comes, it will be our own loss. ”

Xiang Chonghua nodded and sat down and said, "Not bad." Looking at Xue'er's meaning, there is only one person on the other side, are we still afraid that he will not succeed? ”

Wei Qianxue led a man wearing a hat into the room, then turned around and walked out of the room. The man took two steps forward, and suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop", crying silently.

Qin Fei wondered: "This brother has something to say, what kind of system does crying and crying become?" ”

Xiang Chonghua's eyes were suddenly full of tears, trembling and holding the man's hand, "You, are you Zhao Yi?" ”

Zhao Yi lifted the hat, revealing his face with a scar, and choked up: "The prince is really alive." The sky always opens its eyes. Although his subordinates died, he had no regrets. ”

Xiang Chonghua helped him sit down and said, "How did you escape after Peach Creek Valley?" Is there any other brother, who is with you? ”

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth to hold back his tears and said, "All my brothers are gone, and I was lucky enough to pick up a cheap life because my heart was a little off." ”

Xiang Chonghua wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "How are you doing these days?" ”

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said: "After his subordinates escaped death, they fled all the way to Jiang Guo, and by chance they went down to the Jiang General's mansion. subordinates, I am really ashamed of the prince. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "You can live better than anything else." What's more, all I hate is King Jiang and Xi Lihua. Is he good to you? ”

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and said: "In addition to Prince Chonghua, who else in the world can be sincere to his subordinates?" Since his subordinates arrived at the General's Mansion, they are still just horsemen. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "Your martial arts and equestrian skills are second to none in my prince's mansion, and General Jiang Guoda's mansion is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger?" ”

Zhao Yi said hatefully: "It's not me who boasts, if you talk about martial arts, even if I can't compare to Xiao Xian, I won't be much better." But one of me is a native of Yongguo, and the other is not familiar with Yingying, so I naturally hit a wall everywhere! If it weren't for the general's horseman, who was seriously ill and difficult to recover, how could I have the opportunity to participate in the field hunting ceremony of the Qi Kingdom? ”

Xiang Chonghua wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while before whispering: "Is she okay?" ”

Zhao Yi said: "Princess Ya's food and clothing are only like that for the queen. But ......" he paused and said, "But since Princess Ya got married, she has been living in the palace of Tangmuyi in Linshan, and she talks to King Jiang at most, and has never spent the night at all. King Jiang treats her not so much as a favored concubine as a daughter. Some people even said that King Jiang married Princess Xiya only because he was coerced by Xi Lihua. ”

Xiang Chonghua said movingly: "It turns out that Ji Peng is innocent? ”

Zhao Yi said: "However, the crown prince of Jiang Guo has coveted Princess Ya for a long time, and he goes to offer his courtesy at every turn. ”

Xiang Chonghua said angrily: "This brute! ”

Zhao Yi said: "Prince, why are you in Yingyang Jun's mansion?" ”

Xiang Chonghua smiled bitterly: "Where am I still a prince?" It's just like a lost dog. Serving Liu Xiwei naturally wants to borrow his hand to avenge my revenge in Taoxi Valley. The name I'm using here is Huazhong, just call me Xiaozhong. ”

Zhao Yi said: "The prince of Qi is not only in power, but also has a great friendship with Jiang and Chen. If you want to pull over such an overwhelming advantage, I am afraid ...... Chu, no, why did Xiaozhong abandon the prince and defect to Yingyangjun? ”

Qin Fei interjected: "Does this brother know if Jiang Guo has lent troops to the crown prince?" ”

Xiang Chonghua patted his head and smiled: "I forgot to introduce you." This is the number one master in my house, Zhao Yi and Brother Zhao, and this is my friend in distress, Mr. Xuanwu Tan Zhuang Meng's proud protΓ©gΓ© Qin Fei. ”

Qin Fei waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's better to be proud." ”

Zhao Yi bowed to Qin Fei and said, "As far as I know, the prince of Qi just asked the general to ruin the prestige of Yingyang Jun at the competition of the Tian Hunting Ceremony. As for the soldiers and horses, even if the prince wanted to borrow them, he couldn't do anything. Although the general controlled the power of Jiang's soldiers and horses, the prince of Jiang's country only allowed him to bring his henchmen and generals to envoy on the grounds of preventing chaos outside, and there were only 100 soldiers and horses. ”

Qin Fei said: "Then did Chen Guo borrow troops from the prince?" ”

Zhao Yi said: "Naturally, people won't say this kind of thing to outsiders, but I don't think it should be." Chen Guo's envoy this time is also a general in charge of the army, and for the same reason, he brought not many more people than us. Jiang and Chen Ji were afraid that Qi Guo was also out of their own interests, and it was possible to fight for the crown prince, so how could they lend the soldiers and horses inexplicably? He looked at Xiang Chonghua and asked strangely, "What happened?" Prince, no, can you tell me about it, maybe I can help a little. ”

Xiang Chonghua recounted the whole thing, and Zhao Yi frowned and said, "Could the thousand people be the army that the prince called privately?" ”

Qin Fei said: "Liu Xiwei also had doubts about this, so Tuo Zuo Sima checked, but those people are definitely not soldiers of the Qi State." The crown prince is in the palace on weekdays, and he has no time to make a private team of 1,000 people. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "What's even more difficult is that the weapons they use are exactly the same as the weapons of Yingyang Jun's Mansion, and even the nails that Yingyang Jun added to the handle of the weapon to prevent people from framing him are also the same. ”

Zhao Yi thought for a while and said, "What kind of horse did they use?" ”

Qin Fei said: "What does this have to do with horses?" ”

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "When it comes to horses, Mr. Qin is not as rough as me. Even if it is the same breed of horse, differences in diet and feeding habits will also cause direct differences. These differences may seem trivial to the layman, but they can't escape my eyes. ”

Qin Fei slapped his thigh and said happily: "Brother Zhao is really a savior from heaven, we will go to the place where we were attacked that day now." Because the murderer was to be investigated, the scene was not touched at all. With the golden arrows won at the Tian Hunting Ceremony and Yingyangjun's token, Chonghua wanted to enter easily. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "But Brother Zhao must pretend to be our guard, otherwise he will be embarrassed if he is seen by Jiang Guoren." The three of us went in Uncle Ma's car. He is deaf and will not divulge secrets. The more careful this matter is before it is clarified, the better. ”

Zhao Yi looked at Xiang Chonghua blankly and said, "You, are you really the prince of Chonghua?" ”

Xiang Chonghua said with a smile: "After going through so many dangers, coupled with the influence of Brother Qin, I can't be smarter." ”

Zhao Yi solemnly bowed to Qin Fei and sighed: "If I had met Mr. earlier, my Prince's Mansion would not have been ......."

Qin Fei hurriedly said: "Then I'll go find Uncle Ma." ”

The three of them sat in the car and began to talk about what happened to each person, and they couldn't help but sigh and sigh.

Zhao Yi said: "This horseman's skill in driving a car is excellent, even if it is enough to be the driving Yin of King Qi, why should he succumb to the Yingyang Monarch's Mansion?" ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "The people of the Qi country have the best face, and the king of Qi is even worse, how can a deaf person be allowed to drive?" ”

Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "What is the world? Even if you have the best skills, it is in vain not to meet Bole who can discern people. But how many people like Prince Chonghua know how to know heroes? ”

Qin Fei felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. The car was parked on the bank of the river where it was attacked that day, and the small bridge had been repaired, and the three of them crossed the bridge on foot.

Zhao Yi squatted on the ground and carefully examined the horse's hoof prints, and said: "This should be the horse of the guard, and the guard of the Qi Kingdom is under the direct control of the King of Qi, so the horse's hooves are nailed with a dragon-patterned horseshoe that only the monarch is qualified to use." His finger moved a few inches to the left, pointed to another palm print and said: "This horseshoe is painted with a phoenix pattern, I heard that Qi Guo worships the phoenix, and the prince's mark is the flying phoenix, so ......"

Qin Fei said: "This is the enemy's horseshoe, they even thought of this detail, it's really not simple." ”

Zhao Yi carefully checked the hoof prints of several horses and said, "Strange." Although the horseshoe prints are all from Yingyang Junfu, the breeds of horses are very messy, and there are a few wild horses. ”

Qin Fei was surprised: "And wild horses? But those horses look like dark horses, huh? ”

Zhao Yi stood up and said, "That's right." In order not to let people find out that the horse breed is confused, the enemy uses black horses to confuse the public. He took a few steps forward, pointed to a pile of dried horse manure and said: "There are many undigested fruits and weeds in this horse manure, even if Yingyangjun is frugal, he will not send people to the deep mountains to pick messy weeds for the horses to eat badly." ”

Qin Fei pondered: "The varieties are messy, and the feeding is mainly based on wild grasses in the mountains...... Could it be that they are bandits? ”

Zhao Yi said with admiration: "Mr. Qin is really smart. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "Great, let's go into the palace immediately and state to Your Majesty." ”

Qin Fei said: "Absolutely not. Even if King Qi does not have the prince's eyeliner by his side, Ling Yin and the others he is close to also belong to the prince's faction. All we can do is tell Yingyangjun and let him do his best to keep the scene while secretly investigating the collusion between the prince and the bandits. What's more, the mystery of weapons has not yet been solved. ”

Xiang Chonghua said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Now I finally have a direction. He put his arm around Zhao Yi's shoulders and said, "Brother Zhao, you are really our big savior and great fortune!" ”

Qin Fei also saluted him and said, "Brother Zhao's horse recognition technique has opened my eyes. Jiang people don't know how to reuse, you will always regret it one day. ”

Zhao Yi rubbed his thick slap embarrassedly and said, "I am happier than anything else to be able to serve Prince Chonghua and Mr. Qin." ”

The three of them returned to the carriage laughing and talking. Zhao Yi said: "The prince invited the general to Tibet in the evening, and in the spring, the pavilion should use a carriage to drink, and I have to go back to the pavilion." Prince, no, if Xiao Zhong has something to do with me, he will pile up three bricks under the big banyan tree behind the hotel, and the last brick will hold a letter and embed it into the ground with internal force. If I receive any news, I will also put the same code behind the back wall of Yingyang Jun's Mansion. I have a few heroic friends who often deal with Ma Chang, and I go to ask them about something, maybe I can know something. ”

Qin Fei said: "There is Brother Lao Zhao." ”

Zhao Yi changed back into his clothes, took his hat, and got out of the carriage in a no-man's land. Xiang Chonghua and Qin Fei returned to the Junfu.
