Let's say that Long Zixi and Third Brother Fang returned to Xishen Kingdom, and Shen Hou was overjoyed, and wanted to let the two of them rest before talking, but Long Zixi said:

"It's urgent, and it's not too late to rest after getting down to business!"

Long Zixi overheard the queen overhearing the secret discussion between Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu, the disappearance of the letter Gong'e, and the deposed queen and the crown prince, and said:

"When I left Haojing, there was no matter of the queen and the prince being deposed, but I listened to what Mu Wan said, and I don't know whether it is true or not, please wait for the lord to decide."

Shen Hou groaned for a moment and said:

"That being the case, the widow can only go to Hojing in person and ask the faint king in person!"

Folding Tiger Road:

"Waiting for the master! The officials expect that this matter has become a fact nine times out of ten, but I am afraid that the master will go, and there will be more than one luck! ”

Shen Hou "snorted" and said:

"The widow forgives the faint king, and he doesn't dare to do anything to the widow! Brother Dragon, go home and rest for a while. In the evening, the widow hurried back and discussed again! ”

At the moment, he took the brothers of the upper family and the folded tiger, and hurriedly went to the pickaxe capital.

Long Zixi said goodbye and went home, and talked to Zhuo Ermei about the queen and the prince, and Zhuo Ermei was also surprised and sighed.

When the lantern was in charge of the night and Long Zixi was having dinner, someone suddenly came to report that Shen Hou had come back and asked him to go to the Hou Mansion immediately to discuss matters.

Long Zixi hurriedly rushed to the Hou Mansion and saw that Zhehu and Third Brother Fang had come back with Shen Hou, but they didn't see Fourth Brother Fang.

In a while, the priests, Baal, Weisun, the prince, and the officials arrived.

Long Zixi saw that Shen Hou's face was full of seriousness, and his brows were tightened, and he knew that things were not going well.

Sure enough, seeing everyone sitting still, Shen Hou said:

"The widow rushed to Hokyo at noon and met the faint king.

The widow asked him if it was true that he had deposed the queen and the crown prince.

"This faint king actually said that if this is the case, he has already decreed that another concubine will be appointed as the queen, and the uncle will be the prince.

"The widow wants to come to him, but, alas! Where can this faint gentleman listen?

"I blamed the widow for teaching her daughter, and I read the queen's letter to the widow, saying that the queen's letter said 'don't care', which is very counter-meaningful.

"What else do you say...... The identity of the prince is very suspicious, how can it really be true!

"And what do you say, if it is not for the sake of the widow's meritorious deeds for many years, you must also ask the widow for sin.

In a fit of rage, he had no choice but to come back, and let Fourth Brother Fang stay in Haojing to find out the news.

"At the moment, there is a lot of danger, I don't know if the officials have a good plan?"

When the officials heard this, they all whispered.

Long Zixi looked at the queen and asked:

"Dare to greet the lord, have you ever seen the queen? How is she now? ”

Shen Hou shook his head:

"The widow wants to see the queen, but the king will not allow it.

"I heard that the queen is only confined in the harem and is not allowed to enter and leave at will, but she has no worries about her life.

"The widow thinks that the queen is protected by the 'Five Elements', and there should be no danger for the time being.

"However, it is really difficult to predict what will happen next, and I ask you to think of a countermeasure together!"

After a while, an official stood up and said:

"Qi Qi Hou Ye, according to the lower officials, this matter is not over yet, there will be follow-up disasters, you must prepare early!"

Another official said:

"Exactly.

"I think that since the king of Youyou has been praised, he has trusted the three traitorous ministers of Yu Shifu, Gongyi, and Yin Qiu, and has done a lot of injustice.

"It's cold for a long time, and the queen doesn't say it, even if she is dissatisfied with the waiter.

"Now the queen has made a mistake and revealed her deeds, and King You's abolition of the queen and the crown prince is a big excuse.

"According to the lower officials, I'm afraid it's not just that, Hou Ye may also be implicated, and it is even more important to prevent the Youwang from preemptively attacking and sending troops to attack!"

Another official said:

"The lower official has a plan, so he asked the lord to repair the book immediately and tell the world about this matter.

"In addition, please send an envoy to invite Jin, Wei, Qi, Zhao and other highly respected public servants to enter Beijing together, face the Son of Heaven, and be sure to make him take back his fate.

Xia Guan thought that with the support of these big countries, the Son of Heaven might have some scruples.

"In short, it's best not to meet the Son of Heaven.

"Otherwise, the king will not escape the sin of rebellion."

But Qiong objected:

"It's not the right idea. And today's son is immoral, how can he be moved? If King Youwang was willing to listen to the good words of the great powers, he would not have reached this step today. At this time, there must be no illusions, let alone the kindness of a woman! ”

When the prince heard that the queen mother and himself had been deposed, he was also anxious, and cried out:

"Wouldn't the queen mother be in danger? Please also ask my grandfather to make a quick decision, and save my mother! ”

Shen Hou has actually been dissatisfied with King Youwang for a long time, and nodded frequently after listening to the discussion of sacrificing Qiong:

"The discussion of the general is very good. The widow also expected that the king of Youyou would never stop there, how could he depose the queen and the prince without asking his closest relatives? ”

The folded tiger is now a general with troops, and when he heard this, he got up and said:

"I have thousands of people in Xishen, and all of them are loyal to Lord Hou. Please wait for the lord to give an order, quickly recruit and transfer soldiers, and step up training. If the Phantom King really dares to attack, we will fight to the death! ”

Sai Qiong also stood up and played:

"Although Xishen has been established for a long time, he is a small number of soldiers.

"If the King of You's army comes to ask for it, it will be difficult to resist.

"Urgent conscription is also a method, but I am afraid that there is not much time and it is difficult to use.

"According to the opinion of the lower officials, Mo Ruo relies on external forces.

"It's just a matter of borrowing someone's strength, and I ask the master to decide."

Shen Hou said:

"The widow also thought of borrowing troops. It's just that I didn't get the right letter, if the king of Youyou didn't attack and we took the liberty of borrowing troops, it would not be beautiful. I don't know when Fourth Brother Fang will be able to come back. ”

As he was talking, someone came to report:

"Fourth Master Fang is back!"

Shen Hou is overjoyed, and he is in a hurry to see him.

311

However, he said that Shen Hou and everyone were looking forward to the news of Fourth Brother Fang, and when they saw Fourth Brother Fang in the dust, they entered the meeting hall, and they did not sit down, and hurriedly played:

"Master Hou, it's not a good thing!

"I've found out the truth.

"Since Hou Ye left the palace, the Youwang was still angry, and the three traitors took the opportunity to say that Hou Ye had no great achievements, and it was all because of the queen that he got the position of marquis.

What did you say, Hou Ye did not repent, but went into the palace to question King You, it was clear that he had no monarch, and his heart was fully revealed.

"The king of Youyou actually accepted the recitals of the three traitorous ministers, and immediately issued an order to wait for the lord to remain as the uncle.

"He even ordered that Yu Shi's father to be a general, and he wanted to crusade against Hou Ye.

"I heard that the soldiers and horses will be reorganized tomorrow, and the troops will be sent soon.

"Don't dare to delay in the next place, report in a hurry, please wait for the master to make a decision quickly!"

Hearing this, Shen Hou was furious and did not hesitate:

"Since the faint king doesn't miss family affection, he can't say it, the widow can only do that Yiyin's thing!

"The widow thinks, instead of sitting and waiting, how can he take the initiative!

"The widow has made up his mind, so he will use the power of the Xirong country to enter the Jingqing side to save the queen, and it is necessary for the Son of Heaven to pass on to the late prince!"

It turned out that Xirong was located in the north of Xishen, and it had long been eyeing the fertile land of the Central Plains of the Zhou Dynasty, but it was hindering Shen Hou to rectify Xishen, taking strict precautions, and not daring to move lightly.

Prince Ding went to Nanshen to participate in the Heroes Conference more than ten years ago, one for the princess, and the other with the secret letter of the old Rong lord and the "Taigong Art of War", wanting to lure Shen Hou to become an internal response, which was not good for the Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that at that time, King Xuan was in power, and he was favored by Shen Hou, but Shen Hou was unwilling.

Now that the situation has changed, Shen Houzi first thought of Xirong.

There is another thing, Xirong is the closest to Hojing, and it can pass through Xishen Kingdom and approach Hojing, and there is no hindrance.

At the moment, it was carefully deployed.

It was decided to lead four generals such as Zhehu to lead 3,000 troops to help Rong troops attack Hojing.

However, he ordered Baal and Weisun to lead a thousand troops and stay in Shen to defend the prince.

Let Long Zixi, Sai Qiong and the Fang family brothers lead a hundred warriors, and they don't have to follow the big team to act, just to save the queen.

Then, he prepared several carts of gold and silk treasures, sent envoys to contact Xirong State, and asked them to attack Hojing two days later.

When the old Rong lord saw Shen Hou's secret letter, he couldn't help laughing and said to the officials:

"You see, this Shen Hou is unreasonable!

"Back then, this king asked him many times to deal with the Zhou Dynasty together, but he refused, and ruined the marriage contract between his princess and my prince.

"Now that he is poor, but he has come to ask for this king, how can this king be at his mercy?

"How unreasonable!"

But the official advised:

"The king is angry.

"I think that the Zhou Dynasty has been stormy so far, how long will it last?

"Just because Xishen is in charge, my king has not moved troops.

"Isn't it a great opportunity to take the initiative to come to the appointment today?

"I'll go when I go, but whether I go back or not is another matter.

"When the time comes, what can he do with me?"

When the old Rong lord heard this, he immediately agreed to send 15,000 troops, but he had the ambition of taking the opportunity to occupy the territory of the Zhou Dynasty and even control the Zhou Dynasty.

Although Shen Hou also expected that there might be this section in advance, he couldn't care about it.

312

On the first night of the incident, Long Zixi brought in Zhehu, Sai Qiong, Baal and the Fang family brothers, and several people were puzzled when they saw that Long Zixi was preoccupied.

Fang Sange said:

"This time when Shen Hou got up, he could save the queen, and in addition to the traitorous ministers, I think that Yin Qiu and others will also be unable to escape this misfortune. The brother should be happy, why is he so worried? ”

Long Zixi sighed:

"Your brothers are my confidants, and you have to tell you the truth.

"Whether it's King You, or Shen Hou, what does it have to do with me?

"The brothers came to Shenguo to live up to the princess's trust and repay her great kindness.

"But brother think twice, once the soldiers arrive in Hojing, how can King You not be angry, I am afraid that it will be bad for the queen first!"

Sacrifice Qiong Road:

"I also think of this verse. But I think with the 'Five Elements' on the other side, there must be a way to deal with it, and it is expected that there will be no danger. ”

Zhuo Ermei suddenly said:

"In my opinion, my husband is not badly worried. It's just that the queen's danger is not in the king. If you want to kill the latter, you are afraid that there will be someone else. ”

After what happened last time, everyone knew that Zhuo Ermei was smart and witty, and was busy asking for details, Zhuo Ermei said:

"If King You defeats Shen Hou, the queen is in danger, and even Shen Hou is in danger of his life.

"But I expect that Shen will definitely succeed when he goes, and King Youwang is afraid that he will not have a chance to attack the queen.

"Think about it, apart from King You, which one wants to kill the queen the most?"

Fourth Brother Fang:

"I'm the Yin Qiu dog thief!"

Zhuoermeidao:

"Exactly! I'm afraid that he will take advantage of the chaos to announce his personal vendetta, and the queen only has the 'Five Elements Heroes' by her side, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. ”

Everyone suddenly felt justified.

Fang Sange said:

"But how?"

Zhuoermeidao:

"For the sake of the future, the only way to do this is to send someone to inform the queen first, and it is better to let them take refuge beforehand, or it may be avoided."

Everyone felt justified.

Long Zixi thought for a while and said:

"Then there is a sacrifice, Brother Qiong, and I will quickly enter the palace tonight and inform the queen."

But because Qiong was alert and good at kung fu, he was sent to deliver the letter.

Sai Qiong replied:

"Okay, brother, let's go!"

After speaking, not to mention not much, I packed up and left.

313

Soon after Qiong left, someone suddenly came to report that someone asked to see Long Zixi.

Long Zixi went out to greet him, and when he saw it, he was taken aback, it turned out to be Qiu Shan.

But seeing that Qiu Shan's whole body was over, he carried the ghost-headed knife on his waist, and his face was solemn.

When he entered the house, he did not sit down, but said to Longzi West:

"Virtuous nephew! The old man has been restless for the past few days, but what major changes have happened? ”

Long Zixi couldn't hide it, so he told the truth about Shen Hou's contact with Xirong to attack Hojing.

Na Qiu Shan sighed when he heard this, and said:

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, he said:

"Isn't the queen dangerous? King You may not be like anything to the queen, but Yin Qiu has long held a grudge, how can he not take the opportunity to make trouble? Is there a solution? ”

Long Zixi glanced at Zhuo Ermei, and said in his heart: Sure enough, the hero sees the same thing. Road:

"I also thought of this section here, and made preparations."

So he sent the priest Qiong to Beijing first and informed the queen of the transfer.

Qiu Shan asked:

"When did Brother Sai go?"

Longzi West Road:

"I just thought of this festival, but I just set off."

Qiu Shan thought about it, shook his head and said:

"I'm afraid it's too late. I can't say it, the old man wants to go to Beijing for a walk! ”

Everyone persuaded each other again and again, how could Qiu Shan be willing to follow.

Zhehu was not at ease, so he chose two warriors with outstanding kung fu to accompany him, and Qiu Shanfang agreed.

At that moment, bidding farewell to everyone one by one, Qiu Shan led two warriors to get on the horse and chase after Qiong.

314

Everyone sent Qiu Shan away, thinking of Qiu Shan's strong martial arts, the queen's safety increased a little more, and their hearts were a little more peaceful.

After sitting for a while, Long Zixi said again:

"One more thing.

"Although Bao Xi bears the name of being unvirtuous, she is the youngest brother's dear aunt and sister.

"Once the city is broken, how can you guarantee that everything will be fine?

"Shen Hou only asked me to wait to save the queen, and didn't mention Bao Xi, how did the little brother try to save her from death?

"It's hard for my brother!"

Third Brother Fang nodded:

"It's a bit harder. I can't say it, I just look at her personal creation! ”

Long Zixi sighed and said:

"There is one more thing that I have to tell my brothers.

"I watched Shen Hou Xing, his intention was only to save the queen and help the prince, not necessarily to kill the king of You.

"And that Yu Shi's father, although he does more treacherous things now, but he also helped his brothers and Bao Xi back then, how can I try not to kill them!"

Fourth Brother Fang:

"Hey, it's just that my brother always remembers the kindness of others!

"If everyone is like a brother, why is there so much hatred?

"It's just that now that the general trend has gone, my brother wants to keep them from dying, I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking."

Folding Tiger Road:

"The brothers have clear grievances and grievances, and I deeply admire them! Don't worry, brother, we just don't kill them. ”

Zhuoermeidao:

"What Third Brother Fang said is not bad. Don't think so much about it, it's a blessing to be able to ensure the safety of the queen and Bao Xi! ”

Long Zixi also felt that he had too many scruples, and said with a wry smile:

"Third Brother Fang has learned a lesson. Let's think more about how to protect the queen and the concubine. ”

Then they discussed it again.

It was decided that once the city was broken, he led a hundred warriors straight to the palace, thinking of saving the queen, the king of You, and Bao Xi, and then pay attention to it when the soldiers retreated.

Although he made up his mind, he was still nervous.

I'm afraid that Hojing will be in chaos, and its momentum will be uncontrollable, so I can really only resign myself to fate.
