Xiao Tao sat up with her body propped up, although she didn't have any appetite, but looking at Zhao Guangyi's Yin expression, she still struggled to eat a bowl of porridge and a few bites of vegetables and two pieces of soft pastry. After eating, Xiao Tao coughed weakly a few times and said to Zhao Guangyi, "I have already eaten." It's getting late. It's time for you to go back to the house. "Although the conditions here have improved very well, it is still a prison cell in Dali Temple after all.

Zhao Guangyi ordered someone to bring the medicine in, and after watching Xiao Tao finish drinking, the next person walked out with an empty bowl. Zhao Guangyi walked over and closed the door tightly, sat down next to Xiao Tao, and held Xiao Tao's hand tightly. Shen Sheng opened his mouth: "Tell me, whose hands is Yin'er in?" ”

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, goosebumps all over her body stood up, and her voice trembled slightly: "What are you talking about, I, how can I know." I've been looking for a long time."

Zhao Guangyi clenched Xiao Tao's hand sadly: "Who is it?" Tell me. I know you know. He had been thinking about it for a whole day, and he had filtered all the possible people one by one. Li yu? Could it be that Li Yu arrested Yin'er in order to coerce Xiao Tao to steal his seal and pass it on to the Khitan for help? No, Li Yu could not and did not stand to kill her first child. Qi Zhengxiu? Not even so. The only possible person was already on the horizon, and he didn't want to believe it, but he might have to admit it. Surrounding soil and garbage.

Xiao Tao's face suddenly turned pale. What did he know? Why would you know? Xiao Tao stammered a little: "I, I really don't know." Tingyi, you don't want to be like this."

Zhao Guangyi's hand holding Xiao Tao became tighter and tighter, Xiao Tao could feel the bulging green tendons on his forehead, and after a while, Zhao Guangyi slowly spit out: "He was the one who killed our first child and captured Yin'er, right?" ”

Xiao Tao was stunned, her mind was spinning rapidly, how much did Zhao Guangyi know, and how much could she say. Will it push Yin'er to a dead end? Xiao Tao stared at Zhao Guangyi nervously and didn't dare to say a word.

Zhao Guangyi's heart was almost fried, no matter how Zhao Kuangyin and him fought and used him openly and secretly over the years. He never thought of killing Zhao Kuangyin, let alone his children, because they were also his relatives. But Zhao Kuangyin had already made a move on his loved ones. And he didn't get a point out of her.

Zhao Guangyi asked, "It's the emperor, right?" Zhao Guangyi's heart was almost dripping blood. Seeing that Xiao Tao was still silent, Zhao Guangyi stood up, "Since you don't want to say it, then I'll go and ask the imperial brother now and ask him where he locked Yin'er!" ”

As soon as Zhao Guangyi turned around, Xiao Tao, who was originally weak, didn't know where the strength came from, and almost got up from the bed at once, and grabbed Zhao Guangyi's sleeve when he flew up, and wailed in a low voice, his voice seemed to cry blood: "Don't, Tingyi, you go and ask will kill Yin'er." ”

Zhao Guangyi stood there. My heart turned upside down, and Haiti ached. When the facts are finally revealed, how can the heart be so painful that it is unconscious? Zhao Guangyi turned around and hugged Xiao Tao tightly, and his deep voice was full of regret: "Taoyi, even if you don't have me in your heart, you should know that I will definitely do my best to protect you, how can you be so stupid as to carry everything by yourself and not tell me?" Am I not only not affectionate in your heart, but also have no trust? Even if that person is my brother, I will not hesitate to protect you and the child. ”

Xiao Tao was held tightly by Zhao Guangyi, the entanglement and pain of the past two days, and the tiredness of not being able to make up his mind, all found a place to rely on at this moment, and his heart fell back into his body. Xiao Tao raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Guangyi, and said sadly: "Tingyi, maybe you have never hesitated and struggled between life and death. It's not that I don't believe in you, and it's not that I don't love you. It's love to the depths, as long as there is a trace of strength and a glimmer of hope, I hope that the person you love can live safely. It's true for you and for Yin'er. I can't put you in the slightest danger. ”

Zhao Guangyi's heart sank, and he hugged Xiao Tao tightly: "Then you should tell me too." What can you do? Zhao Guangyi suddenly thought of Zhao Kuangyin letting Xiao Tao into the palace, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "What did he let you into the palace?" Do you want to do anything? ”

Xiao Tao lowered her head and bit her lip, and her voice was sad: "He asked me to draw a map of the naval army deployment in the Southern Tang Dynasty." Otherwise, kill Yin'er. ”

Zhao Guangyi was shocked. Xiao Tao actually knew the defense map of the Southern Tang Dynasty's naval army? But he didn't have the time or energy to find out how Momo knew. Just frowned and asked, "Did you draw?" After asking, I felt that I was asking too much, Yin'er was pinched in Zhao Kuangyin's hand, how could Xiao Tao not give in. Zhao Guangyi only felt that the qi and blood in his whole body were surging.

Xiao Tao hooked her lips sadly and said, "What can I do?" Do I have the right not to draw? Can I watch Yin'er being forced by him with a red-hot soldering iron? But I'm already a sinner in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Tens of millions of people in the Southern Tang Dynasty may have to bear the pain of losing their country because of me. I am a sinner, and I cannot die to atone for my sins. ”

"Don't think so." Zhao Guangyi held Xiao Tao's shoulder tightly in pain, "Where did you draw the picture?" Runzhou? Changzhou? Jinling? ”

"Runzhou!" Momo closed her eyes in pain. Qi Zhengxiu taught his naval army to deploy defense, which was originally used just in case, but now it was used by her to counterattack him. How could she have the face to say it, how could she have the face to face Qi Zhengxiu?

Zhao Guangyi looked at Xiao Tao fixedly and said, "Don't think nonsense. I'll figure it out. At present, Cao Bin and others are in Runzhou, even if the emperor gets the defense map of the navy, he will not hand it over to Cao Bin so quickly. If it is fake, it may be a defeat for the Song army. He'll be sure to make arrangements and act again. So we still have time. But what matters now is Yin'er. I'll go into the palace now. ”

Xiao Tao looked at Zhao Guangyi and pleaded sadly: "Don't be impulsive. Yin'er is in his hands, if you are not careful, Yin'er may be hurt. ”

Zhao Guangyi's fists clenched. He really can't act impulsively, Zhao Kuangyin will definitely not kill Yin'er in order to blackmail Xiao Tao. But for the sake of warning, it is inevitable that Yin'er will not be harmed. No matter where it hurts, he can't tolerate it. After a pause, Zhao Guangyi patted Xiao Tao's shoulder: "Okay, you don't have to worry." I went back and thought about how to do it. ”

Xiao Tao's heart has a little stability. Prostration is usually leaning against the edge of the bed.

Zhao Kuangyin was always a little uneasy in the palace. Although the arming map has been obtained, the real and false still need to be identified. Zhao Guangyi claimed to have been looking for the covenant these days, but he didn't mean to take it out, and always said that he hadn't found it yet. If he really has the heart to exchange the covenant for Xiao Tao's life, why not take it out now? What's the need to drag? Or is he already secretly making a move?

Over the years, he has also heard that Zhao Guangyi has run Kaifeng Mansion into a small court, attracting talents, and most of his henchmen are above the court. Especially since Zhao Pu's resignation, Zhao Guangyi is the only one. He originally wanted to find an important minister who could compete with Zhao Guangyi to continue Zhao Pu's role and balance Zhao Guangyi, but he paid attention to a few and cultivated a few, but they were all too useless and not Zhao Guangyi's opponent at all. It's just that the military power has always been firmly held in his hands and has never been given to Zhao Guangyi, which has fundamentally alleviated his worries. So in the past few days, he has been asking Zhao Guangyi if there is any change, and the person who replied always said no, and he didn't think much about it.

But now that the defense map is in hand, Xiao Tao also knows about the little evil seed he is in, if the tells Guangyi in a confused mind, then he still has to be prepared. Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin instructed his close attendant Wang Jien: "Prepare a carriage and horse for me." I have been in the palace for many days, and I have been going to see it everywhere today. "He wants to see for himself whether this forbidden army and this Kaifeng City are as calm as the people below tell him.

Wang Jien hurriedly took the order and left, and soon prepared the carriage and horses. Zhao Kuangyin changed into a blue and gray regular uniform, took the guards and went out of the palace.

The market in Kaifeng is crowded with people, bustling, but also prosperous. Zhao Kuangyin didn't see anything wrong. The carriage went to the gates of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city also secretly checked it. When he found the northeast city gate, Zhao Kuangyin, who was born as a military general, noticed a trace of a problem and instructed Wang Jien: "Call the guards of this city gate to me." ”

Not long after, the general guarding the city came to meet Zhao Kuangyin, who was a fresh face. Zhao Kuangyin asked, "Where are you from?" ”

The general replied truthfully: "In Shimohara, it is in the army of Yicheng." After the Yicheng Army was reorganized, it became a forbidden army. Previously in the cemetery of Emperor Shouxian. ”

And so it was. Zhao Kuangyin's heart was shocked, he had also been on the battlefield before, and he had led the Yicheng army for a while after Zhao Guangyi was seized of military power by Chai Rong. So he could tell at a glance whether he was a recruit or a veteran, and whether he had been under his command or not. Zhao Kuangyin asked, "When will you come to guard the city?" ”

The man replied, "Not long, I came only half a month ago." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's heart froze, he already felt that something was wrong just now, and couldn't help but ask: "How often does the city gate guard change guard now?" ”

The man thought for a moment and replied, "I've just been here for a while." I don't know much about the past. But I heard that before there was a change of guard every four hours, but now we are more diligent, and we change every hour. ”

Zhao Kuangyin sneered and continued to ask, "But has the number of people not increased?" Or the original number of people? ”

The man was stunned, the emperor understood everything. Immediately, he replied, "Yes." Although he didn't understand why he was making such an adjustment now, it was still the same people, who kept the hour for a few hours. Why bother dividing the four hours of a whole block into several periods of the day?

Although he didn't understand, Zhao Kuangyin did. When he Chen Qiaoyi mutinied, Zhao Pu had already taught him this technique, and Zhao Guangyi also learned it. Before you think of the soldiers, the city gates must be guarded. As long as the defenders of the city are replaced with their own people, then internal and external aid, if you want to enter, you can go out. Okay, very good, it seems that Zhao Guangyi can't bear it and wants to move.
