After Zhao Yingluo and Zong Ze and others discussed, on the one hand, they sent a letter to Han Shizhong, ordering him to retreat thirty miles and set up camp again, and on the other hand, they sent messengers to bring Zhao Ji's handwritten letter and her words to Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Yingluo's messenger arrived in Lin'an, he was stopped outside the palace by the guards.

At this time, it was getting late, and Lin'an City was immersed in silence. In the distance, there was the sound of drums, accompanied by a faint river breeze, which made people feel a little uneasy.

The messenger looked up in the direction of the palace, uneasy.

Suddenly, a group of guards walked out of the palace and headed for the messenger.

Their armor glistened in the moonlight, and the momentum was majestic.

The messenger's heart raced, and he knew that this might be his only chance to deliver the order.

The guard was led by a tall and mighty general, who walked up to the messenger and asked in a deep voice, "Are you a messenger from Shouzhou?" ”

"Yes, Lord Archon." The messenger replied, a little nervous.

"Give it to me." The general stretched out his hand and ordered.

The messenger's heart tightened, but he had no choice but to hand over Zhao Yingluo's letter to the general.

The general took the letter, looked at the messenger carefully, and then turned and walked towards the palace.

The messenger watched the general's back disappear into the night, and his heart could not help but worry.

At this time, in the palace, Zhao Gou was sitting in the study, his face gloomy.

He looked at the letter in his hand, his brow furrowed. This is his father's handwritten letter from Zhao Ji, and every word is like a sharp blade, which makes his heart ache.

"Official......" Wei Chaoxian bowed his head and said, "That messenger wants to see you." ”

Zhao Gou snorted heavily, "No! ”

He was angry in his heart, why did Zhao Yingluo's messenger make him have to see him?

Wei Chaoxian hesitated for a moment, "Official, he said that he has a warrant from Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Warrant?" Zhao Gou raised his eyebrows, "Then take it and I'll take a look." ”

Wei Chaoxian stepped back for a moment and walked in with a sealed envelope.

Zhao Gou opened the envelope, and inside was a blank piece of paper.

He did not see the expected warrant, his face sank, and he was about to get angry, but he found a few lines of words written in red letters on the white paper.

It was Zhao Yingluo's handwriting, delicate and powerful.

Zhao Gou looked at those words, each of which seemed to be beating his heart.

The content of the letter is very simple, only a few sentences: "Brother Huang, if you still have the slightest idea of thinking about the Great Song Dynasty, you should know what to do, otherwise, this Great Song Dynasty world will not be yours for a moment." ”

Zhao Gou's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

He knew what his sister meant, it was a threat to her, and a warning to her.

He knew he didn't have many options, either listen to her and release the imprisoned generals, or fight her to the end.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Knowing in his heart that this decision could change his fate.

But he also understands that no matter which path he chooses, he can't turn back, and he shows weakness to Zhao Yingluo, which is even more unable to control the subjects of the world, so it is better to resist her!

"Someone!" Zhao Gou opened his eyes violently and shouted, "Bring that messenger in for me!" ”

Soon after, the messenger was brought into the study.

He knelt in front of Zhao Gou, his head buried low.

"Do you know where you're from and what you're doing?" Zhao Gou asked coldly.

"Go back to the official's house, villain, accept ...... Her Royal Highness the princess ordered to deliver the letter. The messenger's voice trembled.

Zhao Gou scolded angrily, "You go back and tell her, let her behave for herself." If she insists on going her own way, she has to covet my world, and Hugh blames me for being ruthless. ”

The messenger's head lowered, "The villain must bring back the words of the official." ”

"Twenty rebukes the staff of this messenger, and then banishes him from Lin'an." Zhao Gou coldly ordered, "Tell Zhao Yingluo that if you want to protect Han Shizhong's wife and child, you must quickly withdraw from the army." ”

After the guards ordered the messenger to be taken out, Zhao Gou sat in front of the bookcase, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that he might regret his decision, but he believed that if he allowed this sister to be arrogant, the world would be hers sooner or later.

On the other side of Lin'an City, the messenger who had been expelled from the city dragged his tired body down the road.

The pain in his back was unbearable, and every step he took felt like he was being tortured.

But he didn't stop, he knew his mission wasn't done.

After the messenger returned to Shouzhou, he told Zhao Yingluo what had happened.

When she saw that this imperial brother who didn't eat oil and salt was actually angry with his messenger, she couldn't help but laugh, "My imperial brother shows weakness to the Jin people everywhere, but he is quite tough on me. ”

The veteran Zong Ze sighed, "Now that the official family is uncompromising, how can His Highness let it go?" ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, "Since he refuses to give in, then continue to fight!" Until he relented. ”

Li Gang frowned slightly, raised his head and said, "Now that Han Shizhong is holding his wife hostage, he can't continue to attack, relying on us alone, if we want to put enough pressure on the imperial court, I'm afraid it's almost hot." ”

"Definitely! Since Han Shizhong is controlled by others, won't we just remove the factors that restrict him? ”

Zong Ze was a little curious, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"I will go to Yangzhou, and all the military affairs in Shouzhou will be entrusted to the old general Zong."

The veteran Zong Ze's eyes flickered, as if he understood something, and he didn't ask why he handed over the army to him.

He just nodded silently and took the handsome seal, "The old man will definitely live up to His Highness's trust." ”

After handing over the army to Zong Ze, Zhao Yingluo hurried through the starry night and finally arrived outside Yangzhou ten days later.

Han Shizhong's camp outside Yangzhou City was exceptionally quiet in the moonlight.

Zhao Yingluo took a deep breath and stepped into the camp.

When Han Shizhong saw Zhao Yingluo coming in person, he was shocked and moved.

He stepped forward and arched his hand: "Her Royal Highness the princess is here in person, and there will be a long way to go." ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly and said, "The general is polite." I'm here to discuss the next battle with the general. ”

The two sat opposite each other, the candlelight flickering, reflecting Zhao Yingluo's determined eyes.

"I intend to take Wen Boyuan and more than ten people to Yangzhou for a trip, and if I have the opportunity, I will wait for the opportunity to rescue your wife."

Han Shizhong was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "Niangniang must be extremely dangerous when she goes to Yangzhou. The last general is willing to go with his mother. ”

Zhao Yingluo shook her head lightly and said, "No need, you stay here and continue to command the army." I have my own plans. ”

With that, she turned and walked away, leaving only a resolute back.

Han Shizhong looked at her back, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that Zhao Yingluo must be extremely dangerous when he went to Yangzhou! I can't help but feel more gratitude and admiration in my heart.

Because of the war, people in Yangzhou City are already panicking.

Zhao Yingluo took Wen Boyuan and others to waste a lot of twists and turns, and finally deceived the city gate guards and entered Yangzhou City.

She looked at the frightened expressions of the people on the street, and couldn't help but feel unbearable for a while, but this thought passed by in a flash.

She took Wen Boyuan more than ten people into a small shop, ordered a few side dishes, and the shopkeeper saw that she had an extraordinary bearing, so he asked, "The girl is from out of town?" ”

Zhao Yingluo nodded and said, "I'm here to do business in Yangzhou." ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Now that the people in Yangzhou City are panicking, the girl is still careful." ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled lightly and said, "Thank you for the reminder." She ate the food over and over again, and pondered over and over again how to save Liang Hongyu safely.
