Chapter 94: Joining forces
It was a cloudy day, and the black clouds outside were dark and dreary, as if they were going to bring the sky down.
Fu Rin looked at the heavy rain outside with his hands behind his back, and his mood was also very heavy. It's really rare to be able to rain so heavily in autumn.
"This kind of weather is very abnormal......"
Fu Rin said, pinched the cup on the side and took a sip gently, and was about to continue reading his military book, but saw Man Chun coming in in in a hurry, his face was pale, and he saw that something was wrong.
"General, it's no good, the forbidden army took away Miss Youlian and Xia Xiaoniang."
When Fu Rin heard the news like Man Chun, his whole person was shocked, his brows furrowed, and he asked,
"What do you say? Why is Xia Chu Tao with Youlian? ”
"I don't know, I just know that today the forbidden army went to Baicaozhai to arrest people, and convicted Miss Youlian of harboring criminals."
"Harbouring criminals?"
Fu Rin fell into deep thought, but what he didn't know was why Xia Chutao was there in Youlian.
"Miss Youlian and Xia Xiaoniang have just been brought to the palace, and the palace has issued an order to invite the general into the palace."
Man Chun felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to have been calculated from the beginning.
The emperor just brought back Youlian and Xia Chutao, and found Fu Rin in a blink of an eye, what is the meaning of this, Man Chun naturally sniffed out something.
"General, this looks like a Hongmen feast."
"Hongmen Banquet ......"
Fu Rin slowly put down the military book in his hand and pondered for a moment.
"It seems that the Holy One is in a hurry to get rid of me......"
Fu Rin smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that his Fu family had served the court for generations, but he still couldn't get the emperor's trust, which was really ironic.
"General, what are you going to do? Do you want to call the other six generals to secretly protect the general Zhou Quan? ”
At this time, there was a sudden cool breeze outside the window, Fu Rin's face changed imperceptibly, and then he looked at Man Chun and commanded,
"Entering the palace this time, I'm afraid it's very dangerous, and I naturally don't have anything. But I'll have to protect both of them, so I'll do as you say. ”
"Yes."
Man Chun had just retreated, Fu Rin looked out the window and said coldly,
"Come out, I know you've been out there for a while."
"Heh, the general is really powerful."
Fu Rin looked at the man standing on the wooden beam outside the window in front of him, his green clothes were already wet, and his hair was also wet and dripping, it seemed that he had not stood in the rain for a while.
He just stood on the wooden beam outside the window, his figure was as elegant as a fairy, Fu Rin just looked at it at first glance, and he also felt like a celestial.
There are really people in this world who are so good-looking, and there are even some indisputable beauty.
Looking at the good-looking and dusty man in front of him, Fu Rin didn't have to think much to know who the man in front of him was, and then swept his gaze quietly from the fox talisman tied around the man's waist,
"Why did the prince of Beizhao come to me? Now that I have taken off my armor and been at home, I really can't stand this sentence of the prince. ”
"The general can't stand it, I'm afraid this has to ask the general himself."
Liu Hetong smiled, he was quite comfortable in front of Fu Rin,
"The general has retired his armor, but I'm afraid that heart is still tied to national affairs, right?"
"Huh."
Fu Rin snorted coldly, and didn't seem to be happy to have too much intersection with Liu Hezhi in front of him, so he just asked in a cold voice,
"I'm afraid you're coming to me, right? The prince doesn't need to say that he has and doesn't have these, just get straight to the point. ”
Liu Hetong and Fu Rin are the generals of Beizhao and Dawan, but they are in a matter of various opportunities, and the two have not officially fought each other on the battlefield.
This is the first time that two people have appeared in front of each other in such a way, at least Fu Rin felt quite surprised.
"Then I'll say it bluntly, the fox talisman was given to Xiao Tao'er by me, and I also sent it to Youlian, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by the emperor of Dawan so soon."
Liu Hetong's blunt words made Fu Rin feel very uncomfortable all over his body, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little colder.
"Little Peach? Are you so familiar? ”
“...... General, you-"
Liu Hetong didn't expect that Fu Rin's focus was actually here, shouldn't the current situation be concerned about Youlian and Xia Chutao, who were arrested in the palace? Why did Fu Rin care about when he and Xia Chutao met?
"I called it voluntarily, little ...... Well, Miss Xia is still quite resistant. ”
Liu Hetong can only tell Fu Rin everything behind this now, otherwise the misunderstanding between Fu Rin and Xia Chutao is still endless, let alone going to the palace to save Xia Chutao.
"She's really not a traitor as you said, I've been being tracked down for the past few days, so I put my fox talisman on Miss Xia's body. I didn't expect to bring such a big disaster to her, and when I reacted, you were already in the bamboo forest, and you even drew a bow and shot Miss Xia. ”
Fu Rin's gaze was uncertain, and he didn't expect the truth behind it to be like this. He couldn't help but think of the appearance of the early summer peach begging for mercy to him that day, did he blame her?
"Fu Rin, don't you believe me either?"
Fu Rin could clearly remember Xia Chutao's sad expression, his eyes were full of sadness, and now that he thinks about it, Fu Rin really feels that his heart is as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle.
But Fu Rin's surface is still forbearing, and it is not obvious.
"I saw that the situation was anxious, and I had to take her away, otherwise no one could say what would happen next. But what I didn't expect was that the misunderstanding between you and Miss Xia deepened. ”
"Miss Xia's injuries are very serious, and she has been in a coma for as many as seven days. She has also been depressed recently, and she doesn't seem to have any energy at all, and now she has been brought into the palace by the emperor. ”
Hearing this, Fu Rin only felt that his heart hurt as if he was being poked with a needle. He didn't even dare to imagine how Xia Chutao had come over recently.
"Are you here to tell me these things?"
Fu Rin asked in a deep voice, for some reason, knowing this from Liu Hetong's mouth, Fu Rin felt much better in his heart.
"The emperor is obviously targeting you, and it's up to you how this matter is resolved. But if the two of them fall into the hands of the emperor, there will definitely be no good consequences, general, you can consider considering the four princes. ”
Fu Rin's pupils suddenly said, looking at Liu Hetong who was standing outside the window smiling, a huge wave was really set off in his heart: he had always thought that it was Xia Chutao who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, but what he didn't expect was the fourth prince Zhao Jinsheng?
"You're really a surprise."
When Fu Rin thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. It turned out that Zhao Jinsheng's restlessness for such a period of time was not a reckless move, looking at Liu Hetong who was smiling in front of him, Fu Rin suddenly understood that this had been premeditated for a long time.
"It turns out that the fourth prince is the one who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, when did he secretly collude with you."
Fu Rin didn't expect that the biggest tiger beside the emperor was actually the fourth prince. This fourth prince, who usually seems to be obsessed with his own business affairs and has no interest in politics at all, has already been thinking about all this.
It is precisely because the four princes have always been unintentional in politics, coupled with the huge financial resources in their hands, that the four princes have become one of the few siblings left by the emperor.
Now that such a thing comes out, I am afraid that not only Fu Rin, but the emperor may feel at a loss. Such a big tiger is so well hidden that no one can even detect it.
"Don't ask questions like this, the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, it's just for their own interests."
Liu Hetong continued,
"It just depends on how you choose the general, as long as you choose the fourth prince, you will still be the general of the Zhenguo, and Miss Xia can also be blamed for the past, everything is as if it didn't happen, you and her can still live a good life."
Fu Rin's heart moved, and he actually felt that the conditions proposed by Liu Hetong in front of him were a little tempting.
But his Fu family has been loyal ministers for generations, and he has never done such a thing to assist others in forcing the palace, thinking of this, Fu Rin still has his own worries in his heart.
"The emperor has always been eyeing your Fu family, and he can't wait to get rid of it as soon as possible. It's not that you don't know that today's emperor is obsessed with beauty, lascivious, and likes to calculate the people around him, and a sword like you doesn't assist such a faint king. ”
Fu Rin fell silent, as the person next to the emperor, he would not be more aware of what kind of person the current emperor was than Liu He Tong in front of him.
"I naturally know that the general has his own worries, but now that the situation is critical, there is no time for the general to hesitate. If the general's decision is made slowly, the lives of Youlian and Miss Xia will be worrying. ”
Listening to Liu Hetong's tone, Fu Rin felt the urgency of Liu Hetong forcibly trying to pull himself on the boat.
"What's in it for you? No matter how you look at it, it's beneficial to Zhao Jinsheng, what does it have to do with you? ”
Fu Rin also felt the strangest point, what kind of conditions did Zhao Jinsheng prescribe to be able to let the dignified Eighth Prince of Beizhao in front of him run away so willingly?
"The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the internal situation was already unstable, how could Dawan have time to pay attention to the Northern Edict at this time? It's just a chance to give yourself a chance to breathe. ”
Hearing this, Fu Rin, the purpose of Liu He Tong, was already clear, and he heard Liu He Zhi say this.
"So the rest of the choice is up to the general."
