Chapter 373: Believing Yourself to Be a Fluke
Five people and three horsemen, rushed back in the direction of Kyoto Castle. When she arrived at the town ahead, Xiao Liu went to sell the strongest hemp rope and tied up Zhixing's whole body, making her even more immobile.
But Cheng Dazhi still felt uneasy, and when Zhixing just woke up, he smelled a little incense for her, which made her dizzy for a long time.
I just watched the woman so closely all the way, and hurried away......
……
Soon after the next dynasty, the crown prince took a soldier sent out to deliver the holy decree to the imperial study to reply to the emperor.
He had already expected the consequences of this reply, so he was even more busy going back and forth. Once the two countries are at war, the father will naturally not punish him heavily in order to stabilize the court situation and people's hearts.
Even if the Weaving Star side is defeated, those two craftsmen are still brought back, and he may be able to escape.
The government soldier who went to deliver the decree knelt on the ground and reported truthfully: "Your Royal Highness sent three of us to go together in case there is a change on the road, and when we are about to arrive in Weicheng, then I will retreat to the dark place to follow, and Lao Zhao and Xiao Wang will go to the prince of Lei Guo to deliver the decree." But he never thought about it, and the prince of the Thunder Kingdom listened to the holy decree and said with a smile, "How does this palace know that you are sent by the Emperor of the Wind Country, not from the Fire Kingdom to defraud the palace?" ’”
"Xiao Wang showed the waist card of the Prince's Mansion, saying that we are from the Prince's Mansion, and His Majesty asked the Prince to send us out to do things. But the prince of the Lei Kingdom just sneered and said, "If you say that you are from Prince Chen's mansion, this palace may still believe a little, and if you say that you are from the prince's mansion, this palace will feel that you are lying." Now the most trusted son of Emperor Huang of the Wind Country, isn't it Prince Chen? This waist card of the prince's mansion, if you want it, the palace can make you a lot of it when you turn around. You Fire Country people are really ridiculous, if you want to deceive people, you don't do enough work. ’”
In this way, the prince of Lei refused to accept the order. Lao Zhao and Xiao Wang didn't want to delay him more, they just wanted to come and talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince quickly. But the two of them were just about to say goodbye, but when they saw the prince of the thunder country raise his face, he signaled left and right to stop them. Immediately, he made a gesture of killing his head. ”
Now recalling the scene at that time, Xiao Wu, a soldier in the house, still can't help but be afraid, and he is drenched in cold sweat. At that time, if the two brothers had not thought that he had an old mother and a wife and a child, he might have become a handful of bones in the wilderness.
wiped his sweat and continued: "As soon as the two of them saw that the situation was not good, they naturally couldn't let them kill them obediently. But where can they resist the elites of the Thunder Country? In just a few strokes, he was killed! After the prince of the thunder country killed the two of them, he also stepped forward, picked up the holy decree that fell to the ground, and stepped on it fiercely. ”
The minions hated it in their hearts, but they did not dare to spoil the big thing, and knew that if they rushed out, they would also be killed, so they continued to hide in the snow in the forest not far away, and waited for them to leave, and then went out. He buried the bodies of the two brothers and returned with the holy decree. ”
Xiao Wu said, carefully took out the holy decree from his arms, held it in both hands, and raised it above his head.
The crown prince personally received the decree from him and handed it to the emperor.
The emperor opened it and saw that there was indeed a sludge shoe print on this holy decree!
"Lei Qianliu is really bold...... The emperor's voice was extremely low, and he slowly put down the holy decree, and his dragon eyes were already slightly narrowed......
The prince stood respectfully aside, not daring to make a sound.
What Xiao Wu reported to his father today is true, but he didn't add any oil and vinegar at all. Lei Qianliu had already done this foolish thing, so there was no need for him to add anything.
After a while, the emperor said: "The Lei Kingdom wants to cooperate with my Feng Country, which was originally a knot, but at this time, he dares to be so arrogant." If this matter can be endured, where is the prestige of my Wind Country among the Five Kingdoms? Doesn't everyone think that although our country is prosperous, it is afraid of war? ”
Now among the five countries, except for the rain country across the sea, because of the limitation of their location, they only want to be in a corner of peace and protect themselves, who doesn't want to dominate this land and dominate the world? If people think that the Wind Country is easy to bully, Lei Guo sees that the Wind Country is afraid of war, and must be the first to rush up to provoke. Immediately, the Land of Fire and the Land of Cloud will also participate in the battle against the Wind Country, and it will become the Three Kingdoms to fight the Wind Country together.
At that time, the Wind Country will be strong and strong, but it will not be able to parry. Instead of letting them take the lead, it is better to take the initiative and let the Fire Nation and the Cloud Nation know that the Wind Nation is by no means an empty shelf, so that they dare not act rashly.
He is a strong country with strong soldiers and strong horses, how can he let these three countries bully together? Why should you pretend to be cowardly in front of them? With the national strength of the other wind country, he can only stand up in front of their three kingdoms.
The emperor thought carefully for a long time, and felt that the Wind Country must have a tough attitude in order to make the other two countries afraid, and to teach the Lei Country a lesson and set an example for the chickens and monkeys.
Hence this battle...... It's a must-fight.
To tell the truth, he is unwilling to go to war in his heart, and the country will not be able to be safe. But as long as Lei Qianliu refuses to come back and admit his mistake, he will face an embarrassing situation of cowardice if he does not fight.
Now that the five countries are standing together, if you calculate it carefully, the national strength of any country is not weak, but the country of wind is a little stronger because of the big land and the fight. If you show cowardice, not to mention losing the face of your ancestors and ancestors, it will also lead to unnecessary disasters, which is really undesirable.
Thinking so, the emperor took up his pen and wrote a holy decree. Hand it to the prince: "Send someone immediately, and send the horse to the frontier to your second brother." ”
The crown prince did not ask what was written on this holy decree, and when the emperor wrote the holy decree, he naturally did not dare to read it. He just bowed his head, received the holy decree with both hands, and answered: "Yes." ”
You don't need to look at it or ask to know that it must be the king of Ling's destiny to fight in the Thunder Country.
His father asked him to send someone to deliver the holy decree, obviously because he didn't want to tell the world the news of the wind country's declaration of war on the thunder country before the holy decree reached the frontier, so as not to make the thunder country prepare and take the lead.
It is estimated that in addition to this holy decree, the father will secretly transfer troops to the frontier to help the second brother attack the Thunder Country.
I heard that my father never fought an unprepared battle since he was a prince. Either you don't make a move, or if you do, you will definitely win.
The crown prince received the decree and asked the emperor if he had any other instructions. The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to step aside.
I walked out of the imperial study with the holy decree, and I was a little lucky. I feel that it is fortunate that Lei Qianliu is attitude makes my father have to fight. If there was no war between the two countries, wouldn't my father's attention be on Qufucheng's case for a while? Put it on him?
But with the war between the two countries, the situation is different. The father concentrated on preparing for the war, so naturally he didn't have time to take care of the affairs of Qu Fucheng, which allowed him to have a lot of operations; It is not good to punish him so that he can escape.
Out of the North Palace Gate, seeing that Xiao Wu was doing things properly, and this time he was just sending a holy decree to Fengguo's own people, no matter how stupid a person was, there would be nothing wrong with him, so he still ordered him to do it. Let him get the decree as soon as possible.
When I returned to the house, I saw Zhang Fuhai waiting at the door, looking very anxious.
Kuo walked into the house and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Fuhai said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Master Qu was escorted to Dali Temple, and he just arrived early this morning. ”
The prince just nodded and said, "Walk slowly enough." ”
Zhang Fuhai looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else, he continued to whisper: "Do you want the slave to find a few unfamiliar people, find an opportunity to go to Dali Temple, and warn Master Qu?" ”
The prince beckoned and motioned for Zhang Fuhai to follow him.
When he arrived in the study, Zhang Fuhai turned around and closed the door, and the prince instructed: "There are people from the palace among the jailers of Dali Temple, wait for the palace to write you a note, you go to the kitchen, let the people in the kitchen stuff the note into the steamed buns, and send the steamed buns to him when you turn around, so that he can find an opportunity to send food to Qu Fucheng." ”
"Yes." Zhang Fuhai responded.
I thought that His Royal Highness was really powerful, the position of the prince was not sitting in vain, and there were people from His Royal Highness everywhere.
The prince wrote a note and handed it to Zhang Fuhai: "Remember, be sure to inquire quietly, his name is Qi Changfa." He is a jailer in the cell B. There are only a dozen jailers in the B-shaped cell who change shifts back and forth, and it is very easy to inquire. He knows you, and he will naturally listen to what you say to him. Just be careful not to be discovered. ”
Qu Fucheng is a foreign official, and what he committed was only the crime of corruption, not a Beijing official who committed the crime of rebellion, and he will not be locked up in a cell A. But because it is a three-grade salt road, and it is ordered by the emperor to be escorted back to Kyoto City for interrogation, he will definitely not be locked up in a C-shaped or T-shaped cell, and there is no doubt that he will be in a B-shaped cell.
Fortunately, my grandfather arranged people in the four cells of A, B, C and D in Dali Temple, and these inconsequential jailers would not attract attention when they had any activities. Therefore, it is most effective to use them to spread the word or to kill people.
……
At the time of dinner, the cell of Dali Temple, in the corridor of the cell of the B cell.
"Brother Chang Fa, where is the pie?" The jailer inside said to a fat jailer who looked very honest.
"Yes, Xiao Song's wife is not going to give birth, I'll take care of him for two days."
"Brother Chang Fa, you are really nice. I've only been here for a few days, and just listening to them praise you makes my ears calloused. ”
The fat jailer smiled innocently and put a food box outside Qu Fucheng's cell. The jailer, who had his back to the guard, immediately changed his face. I nodded at the food box very meaningfully, and then smiled honestly: "Slow use, adult." ”
"Thank you." Qufu Cheng Road.
Now that Guotai Min'an is safe, there is only Qu Fucheng in this B-shaped cell. And the defense outside the cell of Dali Temple is very strict, and the people inside are relaxed. In the corridor of cell B, there are a total of eight cells on the left and right, but there are only two jailers patrolling back and forth.
Because there was only one prisoner, Qu Fucheng, the two jailers were not very attentive to patrolling the ground, yawning and lazily ......
