"Father!" Zhao Ceying looked at Zhao Zongquan anxiously, but Zhao Zongquan couldn't make a decision for a long time: "Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves!" ”

Gu Er looked at the hesitant Zhao Zongquan and said, "Even if the group practice doesn't think about itself, doesn't it think about Brother Zhao?" It is a fluke that the regimental training can survive this time, or the regimental training will be transferred to heavy troops in the future, surround the regimental groups in the house, and be on guard day and night, otherwise, how can they resist those open guns and hidden arrows? ”

After all, Zhao Zongquan was moved by everyone's words, and agreed to go north to Bianjing and go to the official family to denounce King Yan's suggestion.

"I'm afraid that King Yan has already sent ears and eyes to spy on me outside the house!" Zhao Ceying expressed his concerns.

"Brother Zhao's consideration is not unreasonable! Yan Wang will not give up easily, and the group training family needs to be more vigilant! Gu Er said in a deep voice.

Zhao Ceying also nodded approvingly: "Yes, there are still women and children in the family, old and weak, if that group of killers goes and returns, more people will be entangled to ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ceying's eyes froze, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes revealed a deep worry!

Zhao Zongquan's face was frightened, and even his hands trembled a little, and Shen Congxing next to him was also helpless for a while, not knowing what to do.

"I don't know what Brother Gu thinks?" Zhao Ceying hurriedly looked at Gu Er, his eyes were like a drowning man grasping the last straw to save his life.

In fact, you can't blame Zhao Ceying for having to catch such a sheep wool as Gu Er, but there is no one around Zhao Ceying who can negotiate at this moment except Gu Er.

Zhao Zongquan is indecisive and timid as a mouse, Shen Congxing is rude, he only knows how to dance with guns and sticks, his kung fu is not bad, and he also has some means to dispatch troops, but what he lacks in wisdom is not a star and a half.

The small section with only one arm left is also a rude character, and he used to only wield knives and guns, but now he has broken an arm, and he is still a little depressed compared to before.

Zhao Ceying could only discuss with Gu Er, a confidant who had just become a confidant, and it also meant that a layer of broken jars was broken.

Gu Er didn't hide it either, and gave his own suggestions.

"Judging from the current situation, either transfer troops to defend the surroundings of the house, strictly guard against it, and do not give the assassins a chance to take advantage of it, then no matter how powerful the Yanwang is, he will never dare to send troops to attack openly, but the assassins are everywhere, and they are afraid that they will be ······ a hundred secrets."

Shen Congxing said casually: "Why don't we take my sister and them to Tokyo together?" ”

Zhao Ceying shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate, this is going to Tokyo, there are many dangers, let's risk our lives, pin our heads to the waistband of our trousers and fight to the death, survival in death, the speed of the soldiers is the key, if you bring your mother and them, I am afraid of ······"

There are a lot of women and children in the family, old and weak, and it is not good to bring this or that, but if you bring them all, it will inevitably slow down the speed of travel.

"Brother Gu, is there any other way?" Zhao Ceying could only look at Gu Er and continue to ask.

Just listening to Zhao Ceying's words, Gu Er guessed Zhao Ceying's thoughts, he wanted a way that could save them from worries, and after a moment of silence, he said: "There is another way, that is, it is a bit risky." ”

Zhao Ceying couldn't wait to ask, "What way?" ”

Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing also looked at Gu Er in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

I only listened to Gu Erdao: "We can make another move to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and order the henchmen to pretend to be the family members of the group practice, let them stay in the inner house, stay at home, except for a few henchmen, no one else will be seen, and the real family members of the group practice can take advantage of the night when there is no one, quietly send out of the house, find a proper place to settle, if it doesn't work, then let them hide their names, if it is done, and then find them." ”

"It's just that if you leak your deeds, I'm afraid of ······"

Gu Er didn't say anything, don't say Zhao Ceying and Zhao Zongquan, even Shen Congxing knows what the result will be.

"Hey!" Zhao Ceying sighed and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, do we have any other way?" ”

Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing were stunned for a moment, and then they all showed a wry smile on their faces, yes, the assassins have all killed themselves, if it weren't for luck, Zhao Zongquan should be lying in the coffin at this moment, Zhao Ceying should be wearing linen and filial piety at this time, guarding the soul of his father.

"Brother-in-law, things have come to this point, and we have to fight to the death!" Although Shen Congxing's wisdom is not as good as Gu Er's, he is not a stupid person, and it is most advantageous to know how to choose at the moment.

"Last night alone, we killed more than 20 brothers and injured more than 10, those are all our henchmen brothers, brother-in-law!" The soldiers and horses under the command of Zhao Zongquan were all brought by Shen Congxing's brother-in-law, and those dead and wounded brothers were all trained by Shen Congxing, and now they have lost so much at once, so how can Shen Congxing not feel distressed.

And these henchmen and guards are raised by Zhao Zongquan on weekdays, and they don't need to spend money on food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Zhao Zongquan is just an unpopular clan, how much money can be earned in a year, thanks to some ancestral property, which can barely maintain today's life.

Zhao Zongquan is as timid as a mouse on weekdays, acting forward-looking, only seeking to protect himself, for fear of causing trouble, even with other officials in Yuzhou did not dare to have more dealings, and most of his life was cautious.

But since he escaped death last night, he has completely felt the crisis of death, and honest people like Zhao Zongquan also know in their hearts that if they don't make any more moves, they can only wait for death.

The group packed their bags, gathered their henchmen, dressed up in disguise, and under Gu Er's suggestion, pretended to be a general, and mixed into Gu Er's team to go north to Tokyo.

Yuzhou is reluctant to be away from Bianjing, and the group is hurrying up, hurrying slowly, Gu Er is now a great hero in Huaixi to break the anti-thief, ordered by the official family, returned to Beijing to offer prisoners, and received the reward, that is, swaggering to live in the post station, and no one dared to interrogate and investigate.

On the contrary, the officials along the way were also very warm and dedicated to hospitality, and there were no twists and turns on the road, and the group arrived in Bianjing City smoothly.

The time of three months has come in a flash, Minglan personally packed her bags for Mrs. Sheng, arranged manpower, specially found Wang Erxi, found Che Sanniang and her family, and transferred a team of guards from the Jihai Chamber of Commerce, and arranged the guards to fifty people, so that they could rest assured.

In the evening, after the clouds and rain, Wang Zhong hugged Minglan's thin fragrant shoulders and enjoyed the afterglow after the clouds and rain.

"When will we leave tomorrow?" The two chatted and chatted, and talked about the old lady's return to Tokyo, Wang Chong suddenly asked.

Minglan said: "At the beginning of the morning! ”

"It's all arranged?"

"Hmm!" Minglan said: "Originally, according to my intentions, I asked my grandmother to go back to Bianjing by water, but my grandmother thought that the waterway was too slow, and planned to turn to the land route after arriving in Hangzhou, and hurry back to Bianjing." ”

"Hmm!" Minglan said: "Originally, according to my intentions, I asked my grandmother to go back to Bianjing by water, but my grandmother thought that the waterway was too slow, and planned to turn to the land route after arriving in Hangzhou, and hurry back to Bianjing." ”

Wang Chongdao: "Whether it's by land or by water, as long as you can return to Bianjing safely, it's better than anything else!" ”

Minglan 's ingenuity is not inferior to Gu Er, and immediately figured out what Wang Chong seemed to be emphasizing in Wang Chong's words, and immediately straightened up and looked at Wang Chong in confusion: "How do you hear that the official seems to have something to say?" ”

Wang Chong met Minglan and said calmly: "I'm afraid that my grandmother's trip may not go well." ”

Minglan frowned and asked, "Isn't it that gang of thieves in Huaixi who will repeat it?" ”

"Huaixi has just experienced war, ten rooms and nine empty, and there is Zhong Huai's newly trained Wuwei Army in charge, even if there are remnants of anti-thieves, they can't set off too much wind and waves."

Most of the people in Haozhou and other places were bewitched by the anti-thieves and became rebels, and nearly half of them were folded on the battlefield fighting with the official army, and some of them either surrendered or were absorbed by the official army.

Moreover, after such a big chaos in Huaixi, after such a long battle, most of the fields have also been thrown away, plus the imperial court will introduce various policies to appease the people, gather the people's hearts, and prevent recurrence.

"What does the official mean that there will be changes in Bianjing?" But Minglan's thoughts turned quickly, and she found the correct answer in an instant, and blurted out with a shocked face.

Wang Zhong raised his hand and stretched out his index finger, and lightly touched Minglan on his eyebrows: "It is worthy of my daughter Zhuge , I am talking about Tokyo." ”

"Isn't the battle for the storage position going to come to an end?" Minglan subconsciously blurted out again.

Wang Chongdao: "In my opinion, the people who really belong to the official family are definitely not King Yan and King Yong, but the storage position has been vacant for so many years, and now these two princes have a lot of voices in the court, and they don't know how much power they have developed in secret."

Don't say anything else, let's just talk about Rong Feiyan during the Shangyuan Festival at the beginning of the year, isn't it the handiwork of King Yong? But afterwards, can someone in the DPRK complain about Rong Feiyan? Concubine Rong is the most favored concubine of the official family, and now that the official family is still there, King Yong dares to act so willfully, and even Kaifeng Mansion and the Imperial City Division can't catch him.

King Yong is dim, talentless and virtuous, and only knows how to spend his thoughts on a woman's belly, but even a person like him can have such power, how can King Yan, who has always been known for his shrewdness and ability, not do anything for so many years! ”

Minglan followed Wang Chong's words and said: "Don't say that the position of the prince fell to his family, even if it really fell on the head of one of these two princes, the other will never give up easily!" ”

But as she spoke, Minglan stared at her and froze on the spot.

Wang Chong also sat up, looked at Minglan and sighed: "The prince of the country, with the body of the official family, in a few years, he will be the next emperor, who can not help but be moved?" Since ancient times, how can the heavenly family have ever had blood and family affection! ”

Father and son cannibalism, brothers against each other, abound, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is so eloquent, but in his later years, he even killed his own son, Tang Taizong Wen Tao Wu strategy, knowing people and being good at their duties, did not also launch the Xuanwumen Change, killing Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

In the past, Taizong of this dynasty also passed down the allusion of candlelight axe shadow.

Since the change of imperial power in ancient times, which time has not been intertwined in blood and fire, and under the supreme position, I don't know how much blood has been stained.

Just thinking about it, Minglan felt some palpitations.

"No, I can't let my grandmother go back to Beijing!" Minglan came back to her senses, hurriedly shook her head, and said that she was about to get out of bed.

Wang grabbed Minglan 's arms and said softly, "Don't you know how right Grandmother's idea is?" Grandmother had eaten more salt than the two of us had ever eaten, and what we could think of, couldn't she have imagined? ”

Minglan raised her eyes to look at Wang Chong, her eyes were already filled with tears, and she struggled and said, "But my grandmother is so kind to me, I can't watch my grandmother being swept into this bottomless whirlpool." ”

"Minglan!" Wang Zhong grabbed Minglan 's arm and didn't let go, and said loudly: "Under the nest, there are no eggs." ”

"Grandmother really loves you, but grandmother is not only your grandmother, she is also your father's mother, Rulan, Hualan, and Changbai, Changdong's grandmother! Grandmother is a cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she doesn't look like she gets along, but she is actually a kinder person.

Although her father-in-law has disappointed her old man in family affairs over the years, her father-in-law was brought up by her old man, and this feeling cannot be wiped out by one or two things! The Sheng family is the sustenance of her old man for so many years!

Besides, this is not something we can convince! ”

After being told this by Wang Chong, Minglan gradually calmed down, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Actually, things are not as bad as you think!" Wang Chongdao: "My father-in-law is just a five-grade official, and he may still have some power in the local area, but in Tokyo, petty officials like my father-in-law are everywhere, but there must be a lot of them, and besides, my father-in-law has neither real power nor military power in his hands, and there is really a change in the court, and it can't fall on his head, at most he is implicated."

My grandmother was in a hurry to go back, because she was afraid that at this time, my father-in-law would make a mistake in some things and drag me and Zecheng down! ”

Minglan is so smart, how can she not know what Wang Chong said.

Minglan cried and threw herself into Wang Chong's arms, and said while sobbing: "Grandmother treats me like a mountain, but I don't ······ But I ······"

As he spoke, tears rained down and he couldn't cry.

"It's a pity that I'm a general sentence, and it's a felony to leave my post without permission, otherwise, I would have personally escorted my grandmother back to Tokyo!" Wang Zhong said with some regret.

Minglan was still snuggling in Wang Chong's arms and sobbing quietly, secretly sad.

Seeing this, Wang Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "If you really don't feel at ease, go back with your grandmother!" I asked Sister Qian to take Brother Xin'er, and then bring Niu Er, bring all the guards at home, and send you back. ”

"Is this true?" Minglan immediately struggled out of Wang Chong's arms and looked at Wang Chong.

"My lady is resourceful, even if she is not worse than Zhang Zifang under the account of Han Gaozu, even if she really encounters difficulties, she will be able to deal with it calmly!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

Today's Minglan has been practicing martial arts all year round since she was a child, although she is often lazy, but she is not a weak woman who can't pick up her shoulders and can't lift her hands.

"Zhong Huai and I have a good relationship with your second brother, now that he has defeated the traitor in Huaixi, presumably the will to summon him back to Beijing is already on the way, if there is danger, the lady can go to find Zhong Huai's protection."
