A lakeside courtyard in Hangzhou Lak Garden.

"County lord, get up and eat, the slave and maid grabbed the whitebait snow lotus soup in the kitchen."

Zhao Fujin was sleeping sweetly wrapped in a brocade quilt, and was suddenly awakened by this shout, and the open door and cold air immediately woke her up.

She reluctantly opened her eyes and looked at her female sword guard, and complained:

"Sister Mei Jian, you are robbing things at Zhongjing Hou's house again, it's so rude!"

The female sword guard didn't care:

"This is a good thing, it can moisturize the face and nourish the body, and the palace will eat less."

"Cao Hou is uneasy and kind, and it is best for him to eat poor."

As she was talking, she saw Zhao Fujin get up and hurriedly stepped forward to serve her and dress.

Zhao Fujin was a little unhappy and said:

"Why do you say bad things about Zhongjing again? He has been teaching me calligraphy and painting these days, how can you take revenge? ”

"Besides, I still want to worship him as a teacher......"

The female guard said speechlessly:

"My county lord, if he was really kind, he should have sent you back to the capital a long time ago."

"You are a noble lady of the boudoir, and you have been living in someone else's house, why do you want to be the ruler?"

There were other things she didn't say.

When she first came, she wanted to visit the garden at night, but before she could climb out of the courtyard wall, she was discovered and almost killed by the other party.

Although she didn't see the other party's appearance clearly, she could feel the history of the other party's martial arts.

is such a master, he can't even take out a few of Duanwangfu.

If this Cao Bin didn't have bad intentions, why would he send such a master to stare at the county lord.

It's just that she doesn't know that this is just the normal defense of the Slack Garden, and the guards who fight against her are not the top masters of the Houfu.

Hearing her admonition, Zhao Fujin didn't think so:

"Didn't I come by myself?"

said with some excitement:

"My painting skills have improved very quickly these days, and I just took the opportunity to finish painting the ten scenes of West Lake."

"Also, Zhongjing is already so pitiful, you are not allowed to speak ill of him."

said, and some sighs:

"Mr. Pang is too much, just because Zhongjinghou has little silver to honor him, he wants Mrs. Zhongjinghou to reconcile with him, how can there be such a father-in-law in the world?"

When Pang Ji brought her to Hangzhou, in order to pave the way for his own plan, he made up a rhetoric.

Although Cao Bin did not adopt Pang Ji's strategy, Zhao Fujin was very sympathetic to him.

When the female guard heard this, she was a little helpless.

She always felt that Pang Ji was an old liar, but she didn't know how to debunk it, so she had to say:

"County Lord, let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, you have been living in Cao's house, playing with Cao Bin all day long, and you don't shy away from it, and you ...... like his wife and concubine?"

Speaking of which, she said more directly:

"County Lord, I think Zhongjing is fighting your idea!"

When Zhao Fujin heard this, his pretty face suddenly turned red, and he quickly shook his head and said:

"What are you talking about, how is this possible?"

She has great respect for Cao Bin's painting skills, but she has never thought about men and women, after all, Cao Bin is married.

Not to mention the concubine, even if it is the wife of the continuation of the string, it is too unsuitable for her to be a county lord who has never married.

What's more, there are still a lot of rumors about Cao Bin and her aunt Princess Zhaoyang in Beijing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fujin was also a little suspicious.

Looking at the remnants of snow and lotus in the yard, she hesitated for a long time before she said:

"Okay, I'll go ask Zhongjing tomorrow and ask him to send someone to send us back to Beijing!"

In the past few days in Hangzhou, she has lived a very comfortable life.

Traveling in the mountains and rivers every day, painting as much as you like, and Cao Bin, a famous teacher, to discuss and teach, at this time suddenly want to leave, and there is a faint reluctance.

When the female guard saw her agree, she was happy and hurriedly reminded:

"County Lord, if Zhongjing Hou finds a reason to shirk, you must not hesitate to be soft-hearted, and if necessary, you can use the law of the country to suppress him."

Zhao Jinfu nodded, and was about to speak, when a maid suddenly knocked on the door and said:

"County Lord, my family said that you have been in Hangzhou for a long time, and I will personally send you back to Beijing tomorrow, please prepare as soon as possible."

After saying that, the maid left in a hurry.

Zhao Fujin looked at the female guard for a long time, and said with some resentment:

"Let's wronged Zhongjing, how can this be good?"

"The people in Houfu must have heard us......

Thinking that Cao Bin was "troubled" by his father-in-law, and now he is suspected by himself, he must be very sad...... She couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

At this time, in the secret room of the slack garden.

After reading Pan Renmei's letter, Pang Ji smiled at Cao Bin:

"It seems that Pan Renmei is desperate and has already agreed to all your conditions."

"Are you sure of talent?"

Cao Bin took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly:

"Father-in-law, don't worry, although the time is a little tight, there should be no problem."

Although he is a little lazy on weekdays and rarely willing to take risks, this time is a critical moment and he has to take it seriously.

If you win, you will be in power in the future, lie down casually, at least you will be rich and noble for a lifetime, and if you lose, you will run away as a wild man or pick up your tail as a dog.

Even for a better life in the future, he has to fight hard.

Pang Ji nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, Juncai is getting more and more general-like."

As he spoke, he reminded:

"Success or defeat, since you have an idea, just let go of your hands and feet."

"But try not to break the rules of the court, if you blindly act domineeringly, even if it is done, there will be a lot of trouble."

Seeing that Cao Bin listened, Pang Ji nodded and said:

"After you set off, the old man will also rush to the capital as soon as possible to help you......"

Early the next morning, Cao Bin did not alarm his wife and concubines at home, but only called Zhao Fujin's master and servant, and set off with a thousand guards.

"Brother Cao, you don't need to send it to me personally."

Zhao Fujin followed Cao Bin to the dock, and when he saw that he was mobilizing the people, not only calling a thousand guards, but also a dozen or so ships with thousands of materials waiting, he couldn't help but feel more and more ashamed, and said embarrassedly.

Cao Bin laughed twice and said enthusiastically:

"Yes, yes, Cao has been slow to treat the county lord these days, and he has to find His Royal Highness King Duan to ask for guilt, and the county lord wants to intercede for me!"

He brought Zhao Fujin with him just in case, if he couldn't catch up with the coup d'état in the capital, and King Duan really succeeded in seizing the throne, he would come to the same place to worship and get married, and recognize his father-in-law first.

If it still doesn't work, when the girl runs away, he can also be a hostage.

To Cao Bin's surprise, Bao Zheng was also waiting at the dock.

"Juncai, Bao Mou is also going back to Beijing to report on his work, can I take a free ride?"

Cao Bin was overjoyed, and the hostages came again......

The Great Song Dynasty has convenient water transportation and developed commerce, but the only bad thing is that there are too many merchant ships, which are easy to block the river.

Cao Bin's ship is not small, it is easier to get stuck, and when he sailed day and night and rushed to the capital, it was already the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

This day is the period of the Hajj agreed with Pan Renmei.

rushed to the south gate of the capital with his personal guards, and saw that the gate of Bianjing was closed and heavily guarded, Cao Bin not only became nervous, but also knew that it had reached a critical time.

At this time, Wu Song stepped forward with the official document of the Privy Council and shouted:

"Zhongjing is ordered to return to Beijing, open the city gate quickly!"

I saw the six mothers and seven mothers of the Yang family at the head of the city poking their heads down, looking at Cao Bin and others and shouting:

"There is an order in the Chinese book, martial law is under law in the city today, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Brother Bin, you take Lord Bao to the suburban barracks to rest first, and the court will summon it soon."

When he saw the female general of the Yang family, Cao Bin knew that Pan Renmei was calculated.

The power in his hands was not as good as others, but now that the plan is exposed, there is basically no possibility of winning.

Looking at the sun, which had risen to a foot high, Cao Bin had the urge to turn around and leave.

The Great Dynasty Meeting has been going on for a short time, and perhaps now that the position of the heir has been determined, even if he goes in, he may not be able to change anything.

Is it so difficult to directly kill Zhao Jizai?

Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, even if it succeeds, it will become the public enemy of the world.

Cao Bin didn't hesitate for long, raised his gun and shouted:

"Liuniang and Qiniang, let Benhou enter the city, otherwise I will attack the city!"

After all, he still didn't want to give up.

As he shouted, the guards behind him immediately shouted in unison, raised their crossbows and aimed them at the head of the city.

The faces of the two female generals of the Yang family and Bao Zheng all changed greatly, and the soldiers at the head of the city also raised their bows and crossbows.

Liu Niang hurriedly shouted:

"Brother Bin, don't mess around."

"As long as you withdraw from the army, we will never sue you, even in the court, Wang Xiang, Lord Kou and my Yang family will protect you......"

Hearing this, Cao Bin couldn't help laughing, is this to pull himself into the gang?

It's a pity, with Zhao Ji, Kou Zhun and your Yang family's kind of character, it's difficult to protect yourself, and you still want to protect me?

Bao Zheng also wanted to come forward to persuade him, but he was hugged by the sedan chair, covered his mouth, and couldn't say half a word, so he couldn't help but be very helpless.

It's just that the walls of Bianjing City are tall and difficult to break, and Cao Bin said that the siege was just to scare them, and at this time, seeing that they couldn't open the city gate, they were also a little helpless.

At this moment, Cao Bin saw that Zhao Fujin was sitting on the horse and was dizzy, and he had not yet recovered from the turbulent waves of the war horse, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and pulled her to his own horse and shouted:

"Liuniang, look at who this is? Does Lord Cornford know? ”

"Cao Mou has some old grudges with His Royal Highness King Duan, this time I want to make meritorious service to atone for my sins and let the county lord intercede, but you don't let Cao Mou enter the city, do you want to harm me?"

"Don't forget, your Yang family owes me two favors, so hard that you want to be ungrateful and kill Cao?"

The female general of the Yang family is the most ungrateful and ungrateful when she hears this, and she immediately hesitates, and Liuniang said:

"What you said is true?"

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"Of course it's true, don't you believe it and ask the county lord, is Cao good to her?"

"Just waiting for her to intercede with me...... Isn't that so, Your Highness the County Lord? ”

Zhao Fujin didn't understand what was going on, he only knew that Cao Bin was asking him if he was treating him well, so he subconsciously nodded again and again.

Seeing this, Liu Niang had to say:

"I can let you into the city, but you can't bring the soldiers in......"
