Magic weapon
The next day, three miles east of the city, Wang Ke saw the stele on the side of the road, so he shouted to stop the carriage and walked to the stele alone, she also knew that this stele was the tombstone of a famous minister in the previous dynasty.
pretending to mourn the sages, he raised his eyes and saw Zhao Shi hiding behind the tree. As soon as her hand was released, the things in her hand fell into the grass.
Her letting go represents her break with the Wang family, but whether it is going to Tianshan Mountain or going to Yanjing to be Princess Yan, neither of them is what she wants.
What she wanted, it was estimated that there was no hope in this life, she sighed, turned to the side of the road, got into the carriage, and the guard continued to move forward with the carriage between them.
……
From Weishui to go to the capital first, there is a post station on the road from the capital to the Tianshan Mountain, and there is one every eighty miles.
In the afternoon, Zhao Shi rushed to the first post station, handed over the official documents, led the horses, and went to the official road.
This 800 miles of expedited is that you can change horses directly to the next post station at any cost, which means that you can run 800 miles in one day and one night.
But on the official road, Zhao Shi hesitated, turned around and ran in the direction of the capital.
Because when he first entered the station, two sergeants left in the prisoner car, and the person in the prison car he knew, was the old man with Scarface.
Soon caught up with the prisoner car and followed for a while, and when there was no one on the road, Zhao Shi rushed up and directly killed the two sergeants.
Then he threw the bodies of the two sergeants on the prisoner cart, drove the prisoner cart down the official road, entered a wood, smashed the prisoner cart, and buried the sergeant's body with the old man.
"If I hadn't met you, the old man would have died"
"Don't chew the words, to put it simply, how did you get caught? Hasn't this prince left Weishui yet? How did they start doing it"
"I can be caught regardless of time, because I am a person who cannot see the light, my name is Chu Lianqi" The old man sat on the ground.
It turned out that this Chu Lianqi was the son of a family of the Chu family, and he was extremely smart since he was a child, so he was given the surname Chu by the main family.
He also lived up to expectations, all the way to the university. Help the Chu family support King Wei. Seeing that because of Princess Yan, the third child was popular, and King Wei fell out of favor, so he came up with a poisonous plan.
There is a high cliff outside the capital, and there is a very famous hanging building on it, built on the cliff.
On September 9 of that year, King Wei praised the magic of the hanging building, when King An was only thirteen or fourteen years old, the mountain ascended on the edge of the hanging building, and he pulled King Wei to go.
I placed flammable materials and set up a mechanism to ignite them. The original plan was to take King An up to the second floor and delay the time.
Chu Lianqi had arranged a carriage with straw at the bottom of the cliff in advance, and after the fire broke out, he and King Wei jumped off the cliff, and then let the carriage leave the place.
Who knew that King Wei retreated from the battle and left before the fire started. Although the fire was already on fire when King An left, the fire was small and rushed out.
This Chu Lianqi had no choice but to jump off the cliff to escape, and all eleven people upstairs were burned to death. If King Wei doesn't jump off the cliff, there will be many loopholes.
Later, when the body was counted, it was found that there was one missing, but I didn't know who it was, so it became a headless case, but this Chu Lianqi could no longer show up.
"That's when your face burned?"
"Well, something happened"
Zhao Shixin said, this is really a poisoner, he dared to come up with an idea to let the prince jump off the cliff, if you have some accident, your face is gone, then the prince may die if he has some accident.
"Why did you get arrested this time?"
"Alas" Chu Lianqi sighed:
"As soon as this prince falls, naturally there are countless people who use some confidential things as a vote, and I have been careless for such a long time."
Chu Lianqi looked at Zhao Shi: "You probably can't take refuge if you want to, this is to escape?" ”
Zhao Shi glanced at him and told him what had happened.
Chu Lianqi slapped his thigh: "I knew that it was poison from King An's side, but I couldn't find any kind of poison." But this goes to the Tongtian Mountain......"
Chu Lianqi thought for a while: "Bring me the letter from the prince"
Zhao Shi handed the letter to him, Chu Lianqi read it and sighed: "This is not good"
Chu Lianqi handed the letter to Zhao Shi:
"The mountain will not pay attention to it even if he knows that King An is poisoned, and he may not say that King An has good means. Those people on the mountain only want to live forever, and they don't care who can ascend to the throne.
They only care about whether the court can be stable, and they can't delay their annual offerings. As for what to do so that the people on the mountain can manage this matter, it can only depend on what you say temporarily.
Also, don't go to the outer gate, there is a steward at the outer gate who is close to the Wang family, go directly to the main peak of Tongtian Mountain, and let people give things to Zhou Baotai, the great elder of Yanmen, and the possibility of success will be greater."
Zhao Shi nodded, and Chu Lianqi continued:
"You go to Tongtian Mountain, I'll go back to the vicinity of Weishui and wait for news, if you don't succeed, let's run for our lives."
Eighty miles of changing horses, running for three days without closing his eyes, Zhao Shi felt a little confused, seeing that it was almost there, the last post station was at the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Shi spent an hour in the woods on the side.
When he was a little sober, he beat his horse and ran to the corner of the mountain, looking at the Tongtian Mountain in front of him, a main peak towering into the clouds, and the sides were all low hills, no wonder it was called Tongtian Mountain.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, there were interceptors on the road, Zhao Shi handed over the letter, and only said: "This is the letter of Zhou Baotai, the great elder of Yanmen, I will wait for the reply."
Someone took the letter and sent it up the mountain, and it was almost two hours, and a person in Tsing Yi came back, and he didn't ask Zhao Shi anything, and took him to the mountain.
Walking to the bottom of the main peak, a huge stone was carved with the word "Dao".
Further inside was a small two-story building, and a few people came out, blindfolded Zhao Shi with a black cloth, and then let him sit in a sedan chair.
The sedan chair swayed and walked for almost an hour before it arrived, and although his hands were not tied, Zhao Shi did not dare to bring the black bully down.
Zhao Shi got off the sedan chair and was led for a long time, Zhao Shi stood for a while, and someone pulled down the black cloth on his face.
It was a small room, and it was so ornate that an old man with a long beard was looking through the bowl, and the letter was set aside.
The old man asked, "What do you say will happen after this lead poisoning?" ”。
Zhao Shi arched over and replied: "Bloodshot under the eyes, diarrhea, blood in the stool, mania, and finally weakness, so big"
"Then how to solve it," the old man asked again,
Zhao Shi replied: "Milk, soybeans, can be alleviated, difficult to cure"
The old man nodded and said to the waiter on the side, "Make a note and hand it over to the medicine hall", and the waiter took the bowl and turned around and went out.
The old man asked again, "Who are you from Jinghuai?"
Zhao Shi replied: "Son-in-law"
The old man nodded, "Let's go back",
After saying that, the people on the side were about to come over to put on a black scarf for Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi was in a hurry, so he went back and hurriedly shouted: "Adult, villain has something to say."
The old man suddenly looked at Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi suddenly felt his ears ringing, his eyes turned black, his body tilted, and he almost knelt down. It took a long time to grit his teeth and stand firm.
The old man was very surprised, and looked Zhao Shi up and down for a long time before he arrived home: "Jinghuai's son-in-law is good, give you a chance, let's talk."
Zhao Shi stabilized for a moment, and at this time he already understood in his heart that Tongtian Mountain's attitude was just as Chu Lianqi said, and he didn't care who would succeed him.
Thinking of this, he said: "My lord, these three princes are foolish and unwise, this matter is not planned by the third prince, but instigated by the Wang family, a relative around the third prince.
The Wang family has a lot of influence all over the temple, and they control most of the fertile fields in Beiyan, and they control the price of salt and grain in Jingshi.
I think that if the throne of my Dayan Zhou clan falls into the hands of the stupid and young King An, then the Northern Yan of my Zhou clan will be changed to the king.
Besides, when will it be the turn of others to control the throne of my Great Zhou, if so, it will be a great shame for my Zhou family.
What's more, King Wei was poisoned, except for his frailty, there was no major problem, not to mention that he had an heir, so what to worry about. I have to do that marionette to do anything."
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the old man thought for a moment after listening to them: "How come I don't know that King An is stupid? ”
Zhao Shi groaned slightly:
"Originally, I didn't know that some time ago, the day before the Spring Festival, when I was prostituting in Yanjing City, I was jealous and jealous of each other, and injured one person, but it was King An.
If you are not extremely stupid, have you ever heard of a prince and someone doing it himself for prostitution? ”
The old man also seemed to be taken aback: "Is this serious? ”
"It is known all over the capital that King An's head was swollen and his eyes were black during the spring festival, and King Yan asked"
The old man was silent, and after a while waved his hand, "Let's go back"
Seeing what Zhao Shi was going to say, he said, "Don't say more"
After saying that, the person on the side immediately covered him with a black cloth and took him out. I don't know what the situation is, but I did everything I could.
Out of Tongtian Mountain, Zhao Shi rushed back, but he didn't have to be in such a hurry, he came back after more than ten days, and came back after climbing the city wall at night.
I went to the palace early the next morning, told King Wei what had happened, and asked the prince what his movements had recently.
The prince said: "The envoy of the sect has already arrived in the capital before you, and he has informed his father of this matter."
Zhao Shi was overjoyed, and was about to say something, but the prince was still sad:
"But the third one said that we made it up ourselves, but the set of equipment was lost."
Zhao Shi was already speechless with anger, can such an important evidence be lost? Fortunately, I brought one to Tongtian Mountain, and I delayed for a long time before asking:
"Then the prince, how is it now?"
"I don't know, I'm investigating"
Zhao Shi sighed and got up to say goodbye.
When he left the house, Miss Liu's maid Die'er came to him and gave him a note, Zhao Shi glanced at it, Ruolan wrote, roughly saying that this body is not a gentleman and will not marry, if there is a change, he will be repaid with death.
After reading Zhao Shi, he sighed, and the burden became heavier and heavier.
On the way back, I suddenly thought of Wang Ke, this time I took the documents she got out of the post station, which was likely to involve her, thinking that I was a little worried, so I went around the princess's mansion, and I was relieved when I saw that there was no change.
At night, Kou and Hong Yan saw that he was preoccupied, and they didn't dare to disturb him.
He pondered for a long time and there was no good way, and he felt that he should go to Wang Ke to see if there was any news, so he changed into dark clothes and went out.
During this time, it was already curfew at night, and Zhao Shi went to the small courtyard first to avoid the soldiers who were patrolling, and originally thought that if he was not here, he would go to the princess's mansion, who knew that Wang Ke would have been waiting.
"I saw you wandering around during the day"
"Aren't you in a hurry to see you when you come back, mainly because I'm afraid that the paperwork you opened will be on you again"
"Not yet, how about this time? I heard that the envoy of the sect has arrived in the capital."
Zhao Shi briefly told the story again, and when he saw that Wang Ke didn't have any news, he pulled her up in the dark.
Zhao Shi was working hard, and suddenly heard the gate being opened, and just now he heard footsteps on the street, but at this time, the soldiers often moved and didn't care.
Zhao Shi got up and came to the window, opened a gap and looked out. I saw that the soldiers of the full courtyard had surrounded the small building and were lighting torches.
A master general had already rushed to the second floor, and at the moment when the man opened the door, Zhao Shifei jumped on the bed and pulled down the tent, Wang Ke was still in the quilt, his face was pale.
"Hahaha, do you come out by yourself or will I pull you out"
The chief general outside laughed and said, it turned out that the official document made by Wang Ke had already been revealed, and the Wang family asked him to send someone to keep an eye on her, but he didn't expect to catch the princess stealing people.
"Beidaying Wangdutong"
Wang Ke said in a very low voice, Zhao Shi's mind was flying, and he suddenly thought of something, maybe he could solve today's siege.
It's just that there is a possibility of leaving a disaster after that, alas, no matter how much trouble he will be in the future, burn his eyebrows and look at the front of him first, and come up with a magic weapon!
Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt to block Wang Ke's head, and then pinched his throat and said slowly to the outside:
"Close the door and go out without anything",
Then pinch the wooden sign around his neck.
The king dutong laughed again: "Don't worry, I'll call more people over, this eye blessing is not common."
As he spoke, he saw a finger sticking out of the tent, and a blue-black jade plaque hanging on it dangled for a moment, and then took it back.
Wang Dutong suddenly thought of something, he came down from Tianshan Mountain, of course he had seen this kind of thing.
Khan came down at once, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind: "Everyone go out, retreat ten zhang"
After saying that, carefully bring the door. Before walking in front of the bed, he asked: "Dare to ask, yes..."
"Shut up, is that what you should ask? Look closely."
After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he pinched the middle of the jade plate and stretched out his hand. Wang Dutong came over to take a closer look and confirmed it.
When I tried to turn it over and look at the words in the middle, a voice came from the tent, "If you see the words in the middle, leave your head."
One sentence frightened Wang Dutong and hurriedly took a few steps back: "What do you command?"
"It's all withdrawn, what does the Wang family want to do? Withdraw out of the city, and let me not hear about the day, and not know what is alive or dead."
"Yes, my lord"
Wang Dutong hurriedly went out, carefully closed the door, ran downstairs, led the troops to withdraw, and then withdrew the whole city.
Zhao Shi saw him leaving, put away the jade plate and the crushed wood chips, and then pulled the quilt down. Wang Ke heard Wang Dutong say something about the lord, and then heard that he withdrew.
As soon as he was opened, he quickly looked around, and regardless of whether he was still bare, he ran to the window and gently pulled up a slit.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard anymore, I put my heart down, and my heart couldn't help beating wildly
"What's going on?"
"Don't ask so much, there are some things you shouldn't know, but there is one thing, no one will dare to touch you for the time being"
Zhao Shi touched Wang Ke's smooth back. Wang Ke's brain was in a mess, it was like a dream, it felt like he had fallen off a cliff, but he was caught back.
If you think about it, there is more than this magical thing, looking back at this big boy, real and unreal.
