He Zhixun was stunned, and at the moment of hesitation, suddenly several arrows shot at him, and He Zhixun waved the bamboo pole in his hand to block it. When he looked closely, thousands of fully armored Yulin troops had gathered around him for some time. It seems to have come out of the ground.

No matter how capable he is, he can't beat thousands of people, and the hundreds of troops he brought are not the opponents of the Yulin Army at all, He Zhixun looked at Qi Zhengxiu and sneered: "Okay, you really have a plan." ”

The leader of the Yulin Army clenched his fist at He Zhixun: "I'm offended, Your Majesty has an invitation." As he spoke, he took He Zhixun, who had a resolute face, out of the courtyard. The remaining thousands of Yulin troops surrounded the He Mansion and did not allow anyone from the He family to enter or leave.

Qi Zhengxiu frowned: "Who told Your Majesty?" ”

The statement was stunned, it wasn't arranged by him, who was that? At this time, a blue-robed figure ran over from the side and said to Qi Zhengxiu, "Are you okay?" I saw that you couldn't beat him, so I hurried to the palace to tell Your Majesty. Xu Kai originally made an appointment with the statement to go to Qi Zhengxiu in the back alley to discuss things, and when he rushed over, he only heard that they had arrived at Hefu, Xu Kai rushed to Hefu, and heard He Zhixun and the statement arguing, and wanted to compete with Qi Zhengxiu. He estimated that Qi Zhengxiu couldn't beat He Zhixun, so he hurriedly entered the palace to report to the emperor.

"Chu Jin, you are confused!" The anxiety that he had never felt before rushed into Qi Zhengxiu's heart. He did so much. I wanted to secretly extinguish He Zhixun's intention to surrender. Before Qi Zhengxiu came, he had already sent someone to inform Cui Li, the capital of Jinling, and urgently dispatched a thousand troops. He was afraid of alarming the emperor, and the emperor must be furious when he knew it, in case he made any moves against He Zhixun, he was only afraid of angering He Shizhong. surrendered faster, and the prince was still in Haozhou, he would definitely use the prince to blackmail the emperor.

As he spoke, Cui Li's 1,000 soldiers and horses also rushed to the Hefu Courtyard. Xu Kai was a little stunned: "Zijie, it turns out that you have a plan?" "It's all about the crap.

The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and Xu Kai's mistakes completely disrupted Qi Zhengxiu's layout. Qi Zhengxiu frowned and said, "The prince is dangerous, I must leave for Haozhou immediately." ”

The statement tugged at his arm. Looking at the hideous red line protruding from the back of his hand, his voice was full of regret: "You are like this, how can you hurry." Before the words fell, Yun Niang's voice at the door had already shouted: "Miss, Miss, wake up." ”

There was too much thrilling just now, and I saw He Zhitang's heart hurting all the time, on one side was her brother, and on the other side was Qi Gongzi, her heart was going back and forth with them, and it was easy to stop, but He Zhixun was taken away by Yulin Jun. In a hurry, he fainted at the door.

Qi Zhengxiu couldn't look at He Zhitang, patted the statement on the shoulder and said, "Please take a look at it with Chu Jin here." He told Xu Kai, "Don't play the emperor, and be gentle with the He family." Don't rush He Shizhong. Xu Kai nodded.

As soon as Qi Zhengxiu turned around, he saw Xiao Tao, who was helped aside by his subordinates, the corners of his mouth were bloody, leaning on the shoulders of a maid and half-lying on the ground, his body was trembling slightly, and his eyes were closed.

Qi Zhengxiu's chest was stuffy, and Xiao Tao's appearance made him not ****, why was she so stupid? What kind of training is nothing, how can she withstand it? What was going on in her head? Qi Zhengxiu strode up to Xiao Tao, squatted down and pulled her loose hair, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Qi Zhengxiu found that his hands were shaking a little.

Xiao Tao was so painful that she couldn't speak, and in a trance, she gently raised her hand and pulled Qi Zhengxiu's sleeve. The pain, like endless water overflowing, made her a little suffocated, out of breath, and empty in her mind, the only driftwood was Qi Zhengxiu. It hurts, she hurts so much.

Qi Zhengxiu raised his hand and touched Xiao Tao's chest and underribs, and the maids around him looked a little blushing. Qi Zhengxiu didn't care at all, his ribs were fine when he touched it, but he was afraid that he would bruise the inside of his chest. Fortunately, He Zhixun's feet did not fall firmly on it.

Qi Zhengxiu gently tugged at his sleeves, his voice was a little unsteady, and he said slowly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." Wait for me to come back. ”

Xiao Tao's mind was dizzy, but she pulled Qi Zhengxiu's sleeve hard and refused to let go. The sharp pain stabbed her with fear, and only by dragging him did she feel less afraid of being barren.

Qi Zhengxiu tried several times, but he didn't pull out his sleeves. A big man looked at this situation, and he was a little sour, and said to Qi Zhengxiu: "You also rest and leave." With the prince, He Shizhong won't turn his face all at once, right? ”

As soon as He Shizhong was mentioned in the statement, Qi Zhengxiu took a deep breath, gently stroked Xiao Tao's face, was ruthless, pulled out his sleeve from Xiao Tao's hand, turned around and walked out of the He Mansion without looking back, and rode on his horse and galloped in the direction of Haozhou.

"Eh, Seven!" The statement shouted twice at Qi Zhengxiu's back, and seeing that he didn't react, he turned around, and on one side was the eldest lady and the other was his little lady, which was really messy. The statement instructed his subordinates: "Hurry up and go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and invite Imperial Doctor Chen." "Imperial Physician Chen is his uncle, and he can still come to help. and Xu Kai helped the eldest lady to the bed and carried Xiao Tao back to the room.

Xiao Tao only felt that the driftwood in his arms had been removed, and there was a dark area around him that was so painful that he couldn't breathe. She fell into a groggy sleep.

That night, Emperor Li Jing secretly sent a letter to Li Jingda, the king of Qi, overnight, bringing 100,000 soldiers and horses from Sizhou to support Haozhou. Originally, it was thought that He Shizhong's father and son could fight back against the Zhou army, but now that the He family wants to defect, they must reinforce the men and horses again.

Li Jing was so bottomless for the first time in his heart, the soldiers of Li Jingda, the king of Qi, were on the move, and the Tang Dynasty really didn't have an army that could be called upon. This is the last bit of hope. If Haozhou is lost, the entire Huaihe defense line will be over, the Huaihe defense line cannot be held, and Datang will no longer have a barrier to defend. So he tried his best, but he couldn't let Haozhou out.

After the Zhou camp, Zhao Kuangyin received a secret report that the Tang army had men and horses rushing from the direction of Sizhou to reinforce Haozhou. Hurriedly went to inform Emperor Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, it seems that it is necessary to send troops to intercept Li Tang's reinforcements." ”

Chai Rong looked at the map and asked, "Is that necessary?" Didn't Kuang Yi already go to persuade He Shizhong to surrender? The He father and son have not shown up to fight again in the past few days, and it seems that they are also considering the matter of surrendering. It is best to save troops. ”

When Zhao Kuangyin heard the emperor say that Zhao Kuangyi persuaded him to surrender, he was a little uncertain. Zhao Kuangyi went to Haozhou City to persuade He Shizhong and his son to go secretly, and did not tell the emperor. Jun's heart is unpredictable, Zhao Kuangyin is really afraid of the emperor's mustard, and said tentatively: "Kuangyi is reckless, and he has to sharpen his temperament." Although it is a good move, it should also be a prophet of His Majesty. ”

Chai Rong smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay." It's just good chess. ”

Zhao Kuangyin saw that the emperor didn't mind, so he put his heart down and said: "But from Sizhou, it should be Li Jingda's team." Li Tang sent such a strong force, it seemed that he was not at ease with He Shizhong's father and son. I heard that He Zhixun went back to Jinling to pick up his family, but he hasn't come back until now, but he is afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. ”

Chai Rong thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "That's a good thing for us, it's best for Li Jing to kill He Zhixun in a fit of anger, then He Shizhong will definitely surrender to us with all his heart." ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and smiled silently. In his heart, he was a little frizzy by Chai Rong's words. In case Li Jing really wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, in order to warn the soldiers, he has to deal with the family members of He Fu, but I am afraid that the maid that Kuang Yi has taken a fancy to will not be spared. At that time, Kuang Yi may be able to do something earth-shattering. He was now a little afraid of this brother who didn't care about it.

Coming out of Chai Rong's camp, Zhao Kuangyin strictly ordered his soldiers not to let Zhao Kuangyi know if they heard the news of He Zhixun's father and son. After thinking about it, he said to the adjutant general: "Li Ying, the envoy of the Qianzhou Festival, will come to see the emperor with his family in a few days, and I heard that his daughter Yue'e is also coming, so you should pay attention to it and let the major general stay in the camp for a few days." If there is any change, come and tell me quickly. The lieutenant departed.

Since Zhao Kuangyi doesn't like Fu Xuechan, then give him another one he likes. Li Ying's daughter Li Yue'e heard that she was stunningly beautiful, and this time Kuang Yi couldn't find fault anymore. Li Yue'e can be regarded as a famous family after all, and she can encircle the forces in the Qianzhou area. Although she is a concubine, she will not be a concubine for others. You can't let Kuang Yi's mind stay on that maid, and sooner or later something big will happen.

Ten days later, Li Jingda's troops arrived at the city of Haozhou, but He Shizhong refused to open the city gate to the reinforcements, and threatened the prince, asking the court to send He Zhixun and He Zhitang and He Zhilan to Haozhou City before he was willing to release the prince. He Shizhong had the intention of using the prince to blackmail him very early, and from the day He Zhixun returned to Jinling, he sealed the inner city of Haozhou and did not allow anyone to enter the city. Even Qi Zhengxiu couldn't enter the city when he came back.

After a stalemate of three days, Qi Zhengxiu led Li Jingda's fifty elite soldiers, hid in a car transporting grain and grass, and secretly entered Haozhou City, rescued the prince, and opened the inner city gate to welcome Li Jingda's reinforcements.

The first thing Li Jingda did when he entered the city was to ask He Shizhong to hand over the military power of the Tianxiong Army. He Shizhong had no choice, he handed over the talisman, and there was only one dead end, and if he didn't hand over the talisman, it was still a dead end. Not everyone in his Tianxiong Army dared to follow him to fight with Li Jingda. had no choice but to sneak out of Haozhou City at night with the cronies of the Tianxiong Army and surrender to the Zhou Dynasty.

Li Jing was furious after receiving the urgent report, and defected on the battlefield, the crime cannot be punished, and must be punished. Li Jing issued an edict overnight, gave He Zhixun a cup of poison, and cut it off by himself. All men and women in Hefu were not enslaved, men were assigned to the army, and women were paid into the school and used as official prostitutes.

Xu Kai had the courage to say to the emperor that the eldest lady of the He family had already made a marriage with Qi Zhengxiu, so she could not be counted as a member of the He family. Li Jing was furious: "Treason, Zhulian Nine Clans, do you think there are still people who have not been counted?" ”

Xu Kai was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more, and then Qi Zhengxiu was included. The emperor is now angry, and everything can only be done in the long run.
