Chapter 01: Killing the Tiger
. Recently, there are often visitors in Li Yu's palace who come in the middle of the night, which really responds to the sentence: night owls enter the house, nothing to do, come to a cry and mourn, there is no good news, tossing Li Yu is haggard, and a little wind and grass at night will wake up, once awakened, it will be difficult to fall asleep, causing the palace to be very nervous, once Li Yu falls asleep, even the mosquito humming so big that he dare not come out.
The smell of tranquility incense came out of the bedroom with a sweet snoring sound, and the inner servants all took a long breath, and made a slight gesture to several palace attendants, and then tiptoed back to the outside of the hall together, exiting the dormitory for a long time, and the inner servants all knew that they were able to say softly: "Alas, these days, it is really hard for everyone, it is rare for everyone to sleep peacefully today, let me be smart, don't make the slightest movement, if anyone disturbs everyone, the miscellaneous family will beat his board." ”
For five generations, the monarch of a country has been called an official family by people close to him, but Jiangnan is different, the lord Li Jing, that is, Li Yu's father, once called Zhou Chai Rong a minister, surrendered a grid, changed the emperor to the lord of the country, and since that time the Tang Palace has not called the official family and called everyone, although the title of the emperor has been restored, this title has not changed, and now Li Yu has become the lord of the country again, but it saves the matter of changing the title.
The palace attendants next to him agreed again and again, and the attendants yawned and said: "Ouch, it's been tossing these days, the old arms and legs of the miscellaneous family can't bear it, I have to go back to rest, you take good care of everyone, you are all smart, even if it is an old finch child, you can't get close to the emperor, do you hear?" ”
Everyone hurriedly agreed, the old man trembled and walked to his residence, just moved a few steps, a black shadow in front of him ran in smoke, could not stand for a while, and the old man knew that he fell to the ground with a "porphy" sound, and he was so angry that he screamed: "Little ......"
He suddenly woke up, afraid of waking up Li Yu, so he hurriedly said in a soft voice: "Little rabbit cub, don't you have eyes?" You dare to run like this in the palace, if you don't teach you a lesson, you don't know the rules. ”
A few waiters ran to the side and picked him up, and the little yellow door who was standing still saw that he was hitting the old Duzhi, and hurriedly said in fear: "You all know forgiveness, the little one is in a hurry to report to the lord of the country because of an emergency, and you know not to blame it." ”
The old man was even more furious when he heard that he had reported the matter to the lord of the country, and said: "Bastard, everyone finally has a good night's sleep, and you still want to disturb everyone?" Tell you, even if the sky falls today, we will have to wait until tomorrow morning. ”
The little yellow door squeaked and said, "Can ...... But this person is a secret agent sent back from Kaifeng by the Duke of Chu, and he said that there are 100,000 urgent matters to report to the lord of the country. ”
"King Zheng...... Ah no, the Duke of Chu came back from Shan? Chu Guogong has news? ”
The old man was surprised and delighted, he knew that Li Yu and several brothers had always been deeply affectionate, since Li Congshan was placed under house arrest in Kaifeng, the lord of the country was often depressed and unhappy, and he could wait for other things, but this matter could not be delayed no matter what.
The old man hesitated for a while, then stomped his foot and said, "That's it, if it is a person sent by the Duke of Chu, it is indeed not to be delayed, you come with me." ”
After speaking, the old man limped, and flew into Li Yu's dormitory like an old sparrow......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ and after a while, the lights of the dormitory were lit up, and then the two palace lamps led Li Yu, who was wearing a purple robe and full of excitement, to hurry to the Qingliang Palace.
When the bright moon was in the sky, it was cold in the cool hall, and Li Yu sat behind the imperial book, his face was pale and blue, and it looked really terrifying. Li Congshan's delivery is not good news, no, it should be a good idea, fortunately...... Li Yu secretly rejoiced, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Lin Huzi, Lin Huzi, lonely ...... It's not bad to treat you alone, you are a wolf with ambition, as soon as you go. ”
He stood up as soon as he slapped the book case, and sneered: "No wonder when the Song soldiers sent to southern Fujian, he repeatedly instigated Lone to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, hey! It turned out that he had such a good idea and wanted to lead my 100,000 army to join the Song Kingdom. Lone thought he was Geng Geng's loyal minister, and he was almost kept in the dark by him. ”
Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the generals who are tireless in plotting rebellion have used the same routine, the first step: find a way to send troops to defeat foreign enemies; In the second step, he received sufficient food and grass and military salaries, and left with the elite troops; The third step is to stop halfway, clear the generals in the army who are not of the same mind as him, and then change the flag or strike a counterattack.
Now that the news of Lin Renzhao's surrender to the Song Dynasty was sent by Li Congshan at the risk of death, how could Li Yu not believe it? Even Lin Renzhao once offered a plan: the lord of the country can pretend not to know, the minister sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and the matter was successful, so he asked the lord of the country to send a large army to respond, and if the matter was defeated, the lord of the country could say that the minister sent troops, killed the ministers and apologized to the Song Dynasty. was seen by Li Yu as having sinister intentions.
Li Yu was shocked and frightened, cursed for a long time, and suddenly remembered the words of the little master in Jiming Temple: "Within ten days, we will see!" ”
Li Yu was taken aback and sighed: "The little master is really a god, and he really became a prophecy." If Lone rashly allied with the Khitans, then he would personally lead Lin Renzhao to the Song Dynasty, and he would really be a ghost under his knife if he was really confused. ”
The more Li Yu thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Come on, quickly Zhao Huangfu Jixun will enter the palace to see him." ”
Huangfu Jixun has made the envoys of the Song State and the Khitan State noisy in the past few days, and now he has returned home, just bathed and changed clothes, and climbed into bed comfortably, the two beautiful concubines are gentle like water, and two pairs of pink fists beat his thighs, General Huangfu just had a little sleepiness, and he wanted to sleep with the beauty, so he let Li Yu enter the palace with a hurry.
As soon as he heard that Lin Ren was about to make a move, the lord of the country asked him to lead his troops to Zhenhai to ask for a representative, and Huangfu Jixun was taken aback, and he became cowardly. Don't look at how powerful he usually fights with Lin Renzhao, but at that time, he was a minister in the same hall, and with Li Yu supporting him, was he afraid that Lin Huzi would eat him?
But this Huangfu general is an expert in internal fighting, and an outsider in external fighting, and now he wants to tear his face and compete with real kung fu, and Huangfu Jixun is still a little self-aware. Who is Lin Renzhao? That was the first fierce general of the Tang Kingdom, famous for his bravery, thinking that the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong was invincible, and the Khitan iron cavalry was beaten by him. is such a fierce man, Lin Huzi dared to lead only four people against the wind to rush the Ten Thousand Arrow Array, burn the wooden bridge, and block Chai Rong's army from going south. How majestic is that? If he really turned his face and let him lead the army to crusade against Lin Renzhao, wouldn't it be a meat bun beating a dog.
Seeing that Huangfu Jixun hesitated, Li Yu couldn't help but change color, and said angrily: "Ling Zun is my Tang State Tiger General, loyal and dedicated to the country, Huangfu General Tiger Father and Tiger Son, lonely as a helper, but now he is afraid of a traitor?" ”
Huangfu Baozi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "The lord of the country has misunderstood as a minister, and the minister is thinking, if we wave our troops to go, we will definitely startle the snake, and after a big battle, even if we kill Lin Renzhao, my Tang Kingdom will also suffer heavy losses." Chu Guogong secretly sent someone to send back the news, Lin Renzhao didn't know that his trick had been leaked at this time, why don't we plan to kill him, so that the 100,000 water army in Zhenhai can be recovered unscathed. ”
Li Yu was angry, just thinking about wielding the king's division to exterminate the traitors, at this moment listening to Huangfu Jixun say this, he couldn't help but suddenly wake up, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Come here, draft the decree, Xuan Zhenhai Festival Lin Renzhao will return to Beijing immediately, without delay!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ "Even if the Song State doesn't go to the Khitan for trouble, now that the Khitan envoy has been killed, the entire Khitan Pavilion has been destroyed, and with the arrogance of the Khitan people, they will definitely not give up." However, the Khitan also had internal worries in the country, and it was expected that they would fight in battle, and both sides would not rush to invest heavily in troops, so such a battle would not hurt the muscles and bones. The role of the lord of Jiangnan at this time is very important, and now he is anxious to call General Lin Huzi back, could it be that he has already made a decision? ”
Excerpt Ziyu walked all the way, thinking carefully all the way: "Lin Huzi is a tiger general who resolutely advocates a war against the Song Dynasty, Li Yu transferred him back, it should be to unite the Khitan to fight against the Song, if there is a Tang State to help, the Khitan Emperor may not let go of a big fight, so that the three kingdoms have their own losses, and the imperial court will be unable to use troops in the northwest of China for at least ten years, and the only way to appease me will be the case?" ”
She suddenly remembered what Yang Hao had said to her, and her heart couldn't help but be sour: "I also said that you really learned some exquisite divination techniques with a famous teacher, even if there is really a chance in the world, how can it be so easy to peep through, what do you say that the Song Kingdom will use troops against the Tang State within three or two years, and the Tang Kingdom will be destroyed, tell me not to go against the sky, and now the willows and flowers are bright, if you are in front of me, will you still say this?" ”
As soon as she thought of this, suddenly a group of officers and soldiers rushed over, this team of officers and soldiers was 2,000 people, and the people on the street rushed to avoid in a panic. Zhe Ziyu hurriedly flashed to the stone steps of the inn on the side of the road and looked at it, and saw a member of the command immediately, holding a spear in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, if you leave the Lin family alone, General Huangfu will punish you, and you will give me a boost." ”
"Who is Huangfu Jixun going to harm again? Alas! Li Yu has no ambitions, is obsessed, the government is rotten, and he favors the emperor Fu Jixun, who is entrusted with important tasks, and fortunately there is still a loyal person like Lin Huzi to assist him, otherwise he will not be able to hold on now, this person has to be a merry and talented man who plays with the wind and the moon, sleeps and sleeps in the flowers, and is the king of a country, which is really harmful to others and himself. ”
Excerpt Ziyu scolded Li Yu in his abdomen, and an ominous feeling suddenly hit his heart: "It's not right! Huangfu Jixun is the commander of the Divine Guard, and he is responsible for the safety of Jinling, what is the big case, and he can use his men and horses? What kind of characters do you have to catch, and then you will use the army. Lin family, which Lin family? Ahead is ......"
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he couldn't care about the shocking world anymore, and as soon as he mentioned his skirt, he ran wildly on the street. Crossing the "red sleeve move", he turned into the alley in front of him, and as soon as he entered the alley, he stood steeply. I saw the soldiers standing solemnly in front of the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion had been surrounded by regiments, the gate was open, and many soldiers swarmed in with guns and knives.
Excerpt Ziyu immediately dodged into a wine shop on the side of the road, hiding in the crowd and watching the scene in front of him in horror. The drinkers next to her were all talking, but they didn't know what to say like her. The Lin family's mansion was really not small, and those soldiers rushed into the mansion, and soon after, there were screams in the mansion.
At this moment, I saw a person dressed as a short-clothed servant rushing over, and Zhen Ziyu recognized him at a glance as the person waiting beside Lin Huzi, and he had been in and out of Zhenhai several times, and he had seen him waiting beside Lin Huzi, and immediately flashed out of the tavern.
The man was running wildly towards the Lin Mansion, and a person suddenly flashed out of his side, grabbed his wrist, and the man was about to punch, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the appearance of Jie Ziyu. Zhen Ziyu grabbed his wrist, didn't look back, and shouted in a low voice: "Come with me!" ”
The man turned around and saw the appearance in front of the Lin Mansion, knowing that the general trend had gone, he didn't struggle, and obediently followed Zheziyu into a secluded alley next to him, and Zheziyu hurriedly asked, "What happened to General Lin?" Why raid his home? ”
As soon as Zhen Ziyu asked, the loyal servant had tears in his eyes, and cried to the ground: "Girl, my general...... My general has already gone to ......"
Excerpt Ziyu lost his voice and said: "How come? General Lin was just sent back to Jinling today, why did he die? ”
The loyal servant cried and said: "The villain drove the carriage outside the palace gate to wait for the general, the general entered the palace to see the driver, when the general came back, the villain came forward to greet him, the general was full of joy, and said to the villain very happily that the lord of the country is finally cheering up, and wants to repair the armor and manage the country's affairs, in order to protect the territory of the 19 states in Jiangdong, millions of people, and the Song Dynasty has fought to the end, the lord of the country also gave him wine, and the general trained the elite soldiers, and now it can finally come in handy." The villain was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly put down his footstool, and was about to wait for the general to board the car, when the general suddenly stopped, saying that his abdomen was like a twist. The villain was greatly panicked, and was about to help the general get into the car and go to the doctor for treatment, but the general suddenly spat blood from his mouth, and the blood stains were black. ”
Excerpt Ziyu suddenly changed color: "General Lin was poisoned? ”
The loyal servant cried: "Exactly, the palace gate cowered, hiding the emperor Jixun and a group of palace warriors, they were afraid of the courage of our general, and did not dare to show up, until my general vomited blood, he brought people to rush out, and the lord of the country said that my general tried to rebel and should be punished according to the crime." ”
Ji Ziyu said in a trembling voice: "How can this be? What happened to General Lin? ”
The loyal servant said: "The general was inexplicably sad and indignant, he struggled with his strength, broke free from the villain's support, opened his eyes, and forced Huangfu Jixun." Huangfu Jixun was so frightened under the layers of guards that he just dodged, the general vomited blood step by step, and when he reached the palace gate, countless armor soldiers rushed out of it to block the palace gate, and the general looked at the palace and bowed three times, got up and looked up to the sky and shouted: "Lin Huzi died tonight under the slander, and hated to die on the battlefield and sacrifice his life for the country." ’”
The general shouted three times, his breath was gone, but he still stood still. Huangfu Jixun made people surround him, but he still didn't dare to bully him for a while, the villain suddenly woke up, and hurried back to report the news, while they had no time to take care of the villain, they didn't even dare to ask for a car, the villain fled to the royal street, mixed in the crowd and rushed back, but ...... But the house ......"
Excerpt Ziyu was silent for a long time, and said with tears in his eyes: "You don't have to go back, now...... It's too late. ”
When the loyal servant heard this, he cried and said: "Huangfu Jixun, this traitor, the villain risked his life to avenge the general!" ”
Zhen Ziyu grabbed him, looked around, took out more than a dozen gold leaves from his arms, and two fixed beads worth thousands of gold and stuffed them into his hands, and said: "Huangfu Jixun is a thief with a weak heart, how can he honor you closely?" Don't cry, General Lin begs for benevolence, and the name of loyalty and righteousness will not be covered up by the faint monarch and slanderers. You can take some money here, although Huangfu Jixun is cruel, he does not dare to kill women and children, and after the rumors subside, you go to pick up the women and children of the Lin Mansion, so that you can take care of General Lin's wives and concubines. ”
The man cried incessantly, and after a long time of persuasion, the man took the property, bowed to the fold three times, and according to her instructions, he hid for the time being, and after the court fell, he took back the women and children of the Lin Mansion and raised them all year round.
At this time, more soldiers came near the Lin Mansion, and after a while, they began to search around the streets and alleys, some of them still held a portrait of Excerpt Ziyu, now it is different from the past, Lin Renzhao is dead, Huangfu Jixun started his delicate and charming "niece" idea, Excerpt Ziyu did not dare to delay for a long time, and immediately escaped.
On the shore of Mochou Lake, Zheziyu, who had changed his appearance slightly, quietly stood under the tree by the lake, looking at the broken lotus stems in the lake and was stunned: Lin Huzi actually died, the first fierce general of the Tang State who was brave and good at fighting, never died in front of the two armies, but died under Li Yu's glass of poisoned wine. What's ridiculous is that Li Yu kept saying that he wanted to rebel, but when he brought him back to Jinling, he didn't dare to hand him over to Yousi, Ming Zheng, and even a glass of poisonous wine, he had to secretly trick him into drinking it, this person is worthy of being the king of a country?
Excerpt Ziyu sighed, and his heart was at a loss. I thought that the willows were bright and bright, but I didn't expect the peak to turn around, although Huangfu Jixun is a young man, he is a real rat, and only Li Yu treats him as a living treasure. Although he was jealous and hated Lin Renzhao, he definitely didn't have the courage to frame him with the charge of rebellion, Lin Renzhao was the first tiger general in the Tang Kingdom, and the only one who couldn't wait for him to die was the Song State. If the Song State framed Lin Renzhao, could it be...... It's really going to use troops against the Tang Kingdom, so this biggest obstacle is removed first?
Li Yu poisoned Lin Renzhao, so will he still fight with Song? After Lin Renzhao died, who else in the Tang Kingdom could take on this great responsibility?
A gust of wind came, a burst of depression, and the withered calyx on the surface of the water swayed. Folded Ziyu stood by the lake, his cuffs were cold and bitter than Lian's heart: I struggled and worked hard, but in the end I only ended up like this, Brother Hao, is it really as you said, destiny is hard to disobey?
She gradually clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said secretly in her heart: "No, I have to wait, wait for the Song army of the Tang Dynasty, and wait to see if the generals of the Tang Dynasty are Pan Mei and Cao Bin." Until the last moment, I will never give up and never give up! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ west of Mochou Lake is the Qinhuai River. The Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in Stone City, but here, there are mostly boat people and servants living on both sides of the Qinhuai River, with low houses and twists and turns.
There is a Wuyi Lane in Jinling City, which is where the dignitaries live, this place is called Wuni Lane, although there is only a word difference, the environment is the difference between heaven and earth, garbage and filth, everywhere, when it rains heavily, it will be floated up by the rain, flowing everywhere, such a place, but only a little money in the pocket, will not live here, and Yang Hao and his party, at this moment are hiding in this absolutely impossible slum.
In his plan, once he died, Tang Guo would do his best to hunt down the murderer, so he had to hide for a while first, and wait until the wind and waves were calm before quietly sneaking west. However, things were unexpected, he was "dead", and the murderer couldn't wait to reveal his identity, and then the murderer also died.
Yang Hao waited for a few more days, and saw that the wind was calm, so he disguised himself and went to the street to see the wind, and prepared to leave for the west early the next morning, not wanting to just get to the street, he saw a team of officers and soldiers rampage, Yang Hao hurriedly dodged, and asked passers-by about it, only to know that Zhenhai Jiedu made Lin Renzhao try to rebel, and he was killed by Li Yuzhao, and Huangfu Jixun was ordered to copy the Lin Mansion, and now he is blocking the whole city and arresting the fish that slipped through the net.
Yang Hao was shocked, he didn't expect Lin Renzhao's portrait to be sent back, Song Guo's side would move so quickly, and Li Yu would rush to cooperate with Song Guo to get rid of his own pillars so quickly. The ancestors and middle masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a generation of heroes, but no matter how great the ancestors are, when they meet a descendant who can't be supported, the number of qi will come to an end. However, Li Yu self-destructed his pillars, that is to blame, what should he do with the excerpts of the Lin family?
Yang Hao couldn't rest assured, and ventured to sneak near the Lin Mansion to inquire about her. Most of the people in the Lin Mansion were arrested, but a young son, a concubine and a broken son Yu escaped. The little concubine took Lin Renzhao's young son to the temple to offer incense, and on the way back, she was shocked to hear that Lin's mansion had been copied, and immediately fled. escaped a concubine, a young child, Huangfu Jixun didn't care, but he didn't catch Mo Yiming, but he was very unwilling, now the Lin family has become a prisoner, in the past, she was high, and the queen had a close relationship, even he didn't dare to offend Miss Mo was able to let him take what he wanted at this time, she escaped, how could it.
Huangfu Jixun launched a ruthless attack, blockaded the whole city, and was sure to arrest her, Yang Hao sneaked to the vicinity of the Lin Mansion, and met a few Tang soldiers, those people stopped him, and asked him if he had ever seen this person with a portrait of Zhe Ziyu. Only then did Yang Hao know that the excerpt had escaped, and he was relieved. With the alertness and martial arts of Jie Ziyu, as long as he has not been caught, even if Huangfu Jixun digs three feet into the ground, he will never find this woman who is more cunning than a fox. Now his situation is in danger, although they are hidden secretly, but after all, there is too much population, in order to prevent harm to the pond fish, Yang Hao prevaricated those Tang soldiers, and then immediately rushed back to the Wuni Lane west of the Qinhuai River.
Yang Hao leaned over, with a beard sticking to his chin, pacing into the black mud alley with crutches, looking all the way, vigilantly paying attention to the pedestrians on the left and right, and was about to turn to the place where he was hiding.
One of them should be the splash skin in this alley, and the other, although he only glanced at the back, was extremely familiar, although the person was dressed in men's clothes, but the back was incomparable to the Ding Yuluo in his memory. On the way to Guangyuan to transport grain, Ding Yuluo was dressed in men's clothes, and this person's back was very similar to her.
The splashy pointed to the alley and said a few words, and the man with Ding Yuluo's back was extremely cool, and then followed him into the alley. Yang Hao shook his head and smiled: "It must be a mistake, how could she come to Nantang, and what did she do in such a place?" ”
In the past two days, Yang Hao has not been in contact with Bisu, and he didn't know that Ding Yuluo had really arrived in Jinling City, he bent down slightly, took a few steps forward, but stood hesitantly: "I can see Ziyu in Li Yu's palace, who will never appear there, can't I see Yuluo here?" There are many scoundrels here who kill people and abduct and sell women, if he ...... It's really her, if they have bad intentions......"
The more Yang Hao thought about it, the more worried he became, and if he didn't find out the identity of that person, he couldn't rest assured, so he walked towards the alley where they disappeared......
