"She?" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes rolled and looked at Fan Ruoshui meaningfully, "How do you know?" The defense of the Southern Tang Navy is top secret, how did it get into the hands of an official prostitute? Zhao Kuangyin doesn't believe it, isn't this ridiculous? No matter how confused Li Yu is, he will not hand over all the defense plans to an official prostitute. Although this Fan Ruoshui is a native of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he has already helped the Great Song Dynasty capture Quarry Rock. Naturally, it is not a spy of the Southern Tang Dynasty. But his news came through Zhao Guangyi at first, could it be Zhao Guangyi's plan? Using Xiao Tao to know the reason for the defense map, he didn't dare to kill her?

Fan Ruoshui saw that Zhao Kuangyin refused to believe him, and hurriedly said: "The grass people have always been recommended by Master Li, the envoy of Jiedu. It was inconvenient to find His Majesty directly, so I found King Jin first. But now the Great Song Dynasty's attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty is really a critical moment, and the grass people are also looking forward to taking Runzhou as quickly as possible, but because of the relationship between Tao Niang and King Jin. The grass people did not dare to go to the ward to King Jin. Therefore, I can't wait to come and tell Your Majesty. Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was still indifferent, Fan Ruoshui said again, "When I was in Jinling, the grass people saw Tao Niang draw a map of the naval army. At first, she refused to admit it, but looking at the direction of her brushwork and the logo on the map, it was clear that it was the naval army in Changzhou. There is an obvious dike, only in the Changzhou area, when the first emperor Li Jing was in the time, a dam was built to prevent the water from flowing too fast and hitting the water gate there. Nowhere else does this feature. ”

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, this Fan Ruoshui said it clearly, and couldn't help asking, "Are you sure?" ”

Fan Ruoshui nodded: "I'm sure." Although I drew a map of the defense of Quarry Rock back then, I also knew a little about the deployment of other places, but it was not exhaustive and could not serve His Majesty. However, there is still the ability to identify whether it is a defense map. As for His Majesty's guess as to why Tao Niang knew about the defense map. The grass people don't know. But Tao Niang's status in the Southern Tang Dynasty is not an ordinary official prostitute, not to mention the three grades of the official, the people respect her, and the relationship with the lord Li Yu and Qi Zhengxiu is inexplicably close. The reason for this, the grass people do not know. ”

"You can try." Zhao Kuangyin was moved by Fan Ruoshui's words, and it didn't hurt to try. What if you can really get the defense map of Runzhou? Qi Zhengxiu has a way to bite that hard bone. Otherwise, the troops consumed in Runzhou alone would greatly hurt the vitality of the Great Song Dynasty.

Fan Ruoshui waved his hands and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible." Capture Runzhou one day earlier. Lay down the Southern Tang a day earlier. Lord Cao can also return to the court as soon as possible to protect the safety of His Majesty's Jingshi. Fan Ruoshui hinted at the changes in the capital, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't think so deeply, he only understood and made a decision early.

Zhao Kuangyin raised his hand: "That's nature." After that, he looked at Fan Ruoshui and said with a smile, "You have made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, and after a few days, I will be busy with the things at hand, and I will definitely give you a gift." ”

Fan Ruoshui was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down for Zhao Kuangyin and said, "The grass people have thanked Your Majesty first." ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled proudly: "You're welcome." You need to know that anyone who works for me and for me will definitely get the glory and wealth they deserve, and I can give you this package. ”

Fan Ruoshui was grateful again, and his heart was steady, and he was secretly glad that he fortunately chose Zhao Kuangyin. Otherwise, I don't know what the result will be with the uncertain Zhao Guangyi. Remember the Blood.

After Li Congshan and Fan Ruoshui left. Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while and instructed the attendants: "Come on, bring Tao Niang from Dali Temple to the palace." "After thinking about it, Chen Yuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, has a close relationship with Zhao Guangyi, and he will definitely tell Zhao Guangyi as soon as possible to startle the snake. It's better to go to Dali Temple in person to find out if that peach girl knows.

Thinking of going to see Tao Niang, Zhao Kuangyin is also a head and two big. This woman is cheap and cunning, and it's really hard to clean her up if she doesn't use her brains. And she also used Guangyi in order to report to Li Yu, and she asked her so bluntly, she would never tell the truth.

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his forehead, how could he pry open that woman's mouth? Zhao Kuangyin knocked the lid of the tea cup on the table, once, twice coerced? Inducements? Suddenly, Zhao Kuangyin remembered the child in the dungeon. Haha, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but slap his thigh hard. Zhao Pu really has a long-term vision and takes precautions. Keeping that wild seed is really useful for the day. Although I don't know who the father of the wild seed is, the mother must be the woman, the tiger poison does not eat children, so I don't believe that she can care about the life or death of the child. That's the beauty of stockpiling.

Zhao Kuangyin changed into his regular clothes, only brought a henchman attendant, did not take the palace maid and eunuch, and went to the dungeon.

It's been a long time since anyone has been in the dungeon, and the palace has been relaxed lately, and there are no heinous sins that must be locked up here. Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin was coming in person, the soldiers guarding hurriedly opened the dungeon and took Zhao Kuangyin in.

The dungeon was damp and dark, lit only by a few dim oil lamps. The stone walls on both sides were covered with moss and insects and ants crawling everywhere. From time to time, there were a few ** and wails, and my bones were panicked. Zhao Kuangyin walked to the last room and saw a small figure shrunk in the huge cell.

Zhao Kuangyin ordered the soldiers to bring the oil lamp closer, he looked good and clear. But he was still stunned for a moment, the child was as thin as a piece of firewood, and the clothes on his body were tattered, wisps and wisps, and I don't know which kind person on duty gave him a thick quilt, and the child shrank in the quilt to keep warm. His hair was unkempt and dirty, his face was black, and he only showed two dark and rolling eyes, and he didn't know what he was holding in his hand.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned in disgust, and took two steps forward, and the child clutched the things in his hand tighter. Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but ask, "What is that?" ”

The soldier walked over and grabbed the child's hand vigorously, pulled the thing over and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin, it was a small wooden carved horse, which had been played with by him. Seeing that the wooden horse had been snatched away, the child stood up and pounced on it, but was pushed by the soldiers and fell to the ground. But he didn't cry, just glared at Zhao Kuangyin hatefully.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't pick up the Trojan horse, and the soldier saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was not good, and hurriedly explained: "This was brought by himself, and when he was locked up here, he carried this in his waist." ”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows, leaned over to look at the child and asked, "Who gave this to you?" ”

The child looked at him, he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his tongue was a little unpleasant, and he was silent for a long time before replying, "My father." ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked again, "What's your father's name?" ”

The child looked at Zhao Kuangyin vigilantly, did not answer, and turned his head to the side. Zhao Kuangyin sneered, ordered the attendants on the side, pointed to the wooden horse and said, "Take this with you." He didn't want to take the child out of the dungeon yet, so as not to alarm Zhao Guangyi with too much movement, and he wanted to probe the official prostitute first. With that, he walked out.

As soon as Xiao Tao got up in the morning, her right eyelid began to beat suddenly, and she was a little absent-minded about needlework, and she pricked her hand several times. Is there something wrong with Zhao Guangyi? Thinking that he had been here for more than ten days, Zhao Guangyi had never come to see her once, perhaps, he really didn't want to see her again.

was out of his mind, and suddenly someone opened the door, and the sunlight outside the house stabbed Xiao Tao is eyes for a moment, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block his forehead, and when he saw the person clearly, his heart was pounding and beating wildly. knelt down at the visitor: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Zhao Kuangyin raised his hand, the attendant he brought withdrew, and closed the door. Only Zhao Kuangyin and Xiao Tao were left in the house. The corners of Zhao Kuangyin's lips raised: "It seems that you live well in this Dali Temple." ”

Xiao Tao bowed her head and did not respond. Looking at Xiao Tao's silent appearance, Zhao Kuangyin felt a wave of disgust in his heart. He didn't want to go around in circles with her, so he opened his mouth bluntly: "I heard that you can draw a map of the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Tao's heart almost jumped out, looking at Zhao Kuangyin's gloomy face, Xiao Tao quickly wondered how much he knew? But a stunned look immediately appeared on his face: "Deployment map? What is it? Is it a painting or a piece of cloth? ”

Pretending to be stupid? Or do you really not know? Zhao Kuangyin walked around Xiao Tao for half a circle, pinched Xiao Tao's neck, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't play tricks with me, don't think that Guangyi is so confused by you that I can't help you, killing you is no different from crushing an ant." ”

Xiao Tao's face was bruised, hatred spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, this executioner came to do evil again, but she had to still have an indifferent expression: "Xiao Tao really doesn't know, what is Your Majesty talking about?" Xiao Tao was pinched by Zhao Kuangyin and couldn't get angry.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Xiao Tao's eyes and began to roll upward, but he still refused to spit out, slut! Zhao Kuangyin let go of his hand angrily, Xiao Tao covered her neck and sat on the ground panting, Zhao Kuangyin almost killed her, and her head was numb.

Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." After speaking, he took out the wooden horse from his sleeve and threw it in front of Xiao Tao, "Do you still know this?" ”

After a while, Xiao Tao was sure that he was not dreaming, picked up the Trojan horse with trembling hands and stroked it carefully, looked at it repeatedly, and suddenly threw the Trojan horse violently, pounced on Zhao Kuangyin's feet, pulled Zhao Kuangyin's robe like crazy, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, where is my Yin'er?" Please, tell me where Yin'er is? ”

Zhao Kuangyin raised his lips and leaned over to look at Xiao Tao: "You were also afraid?" I'm not afraid of anything. ”

Xiao Tao's eyes were red, and she pulled Zhao Kuangyin to stare at him: "How can you have this, where is Yin'er, tell me, tell me!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled faintly: "I can only tell you that he is not dead yet." But," Zhao Kuangyin's voice was faint, "it's not good to live." If you want to know anything else, you can honestly say, the naval army deployment map, will you draw it or not?! ”
