The night was like ink, and the lights in the capital were still dark, but Wanyan Zongyi's mood was as if it was dyed with a layer of haze. Rudo's reversal is not only a military betrayal, but also a deep sting of his personal feelings.

"Big brother, we can't just leave it at that!" After finishing Yan Zongmei, she said with an indignant face, "Lu Duo is a wolf-hearted, we must pursue him and arrest him back for questioning!" ”

Wanyan Zongyi slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness, "Zongmei, do you know that Ludo once fought side by side with me, and he is my trusted brother. Now that he has come out, the pain in my heart is even greater than the loss of a city and a place. ”

"Big brother!" Wanyan Zongmei interrupted eagerly, "At this time and that time, Lu Duo has already betrayed, we should take the opportunity to make a decision, pursue him, and bring him to justice!" ”

Wanyan Zongyi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Zongmei, you are too impulsive. Since Rudo has decided to turn back, he must be prepared. If we rush into pursuit, we are afraid that we will be ambushed by him. What's more, you also know the current situation in the DPRK and China, and if we act rashly, we are afraid that we will give people the truth. ”

Wanyan Zongmei heard this, although she was unwilling, she also knew that what Wanyan Zongyi said was true. He slammed his fist on the table in hatred, "Are you going to let him go like this?" ”

Not to mention the bad weather and the difficult road, we must always be on guard against Yan Zongyi's pursuers and the suspicion of the imperial court.

Zhao Yingluo took the secret letter and slowly unfolded it, her eyes swept over the secret letter, and her face gradually became cold.

Wanyan Zongyi turned around and looked at him with a firm gaze, "First of all, we must strengthen the city defense and ensure the safety of the capital. Secondly, pay close attention to the movements of the imperial court, and if Rudo reverses, the imperial court will definitely make some moves. Finally, send someone to secretly contact those forces who are dissatisfied with the court, and perhaps we can find new allies from them. ”

Wen Boyuan didn't dare to delay, immediately straightened his clothes, and hurriedly walked out of the house.

In the night, his figure seemed unusually firm and resolute.

Wen Boyuan stood aside, secretly admiring Zhao Yingluo's calmness and decisiveness, took a deep breath, and then asked respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Princess, how should we deal with this situation?" ”

She knew in her heart that this situation was indeed a huge challenge for Da Song.

"Lu Duo actually betrayed Wanyan Zongyi?" Zhao Yingluo sneered and threw the secret letter on the table, "This Emperor of the Jin Kingdom has really a lot of means. ”

Soon, Wen Boyuan came to the side gate of the palace.

Chapter 13: Undercurrents

The moonlight is like practice, and in the quiet night, a team of black-clad spies shuttle between the jungle like ghosts. Their target was the Great Song Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away.

"So what should we do now?" Wanyan Zongmei asked.

Wanyan Zongyi took a deep breath, and the tiredness in his eyes was replaced by a firmness, "Let him go?" No, we will not spare any betrayer. However, what we need is strategy, not blindness. ”

With Wanyan Zongyi's order issued, the entire Shangjing City began to have an undercurrent. Soldiers stepped up patrols, and the city gates were heavily checked.

There will be important news tonight, which is related to the delicate relationship between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.

And within the imperial court, the news about Lu Duo's reversal also caused a lot of shock.

At this time, Zhao Yingluo was flipping through the recital under the lamp, with an imperceptible tiredness on her face.

Finally, the bell rang, and Zhao Yingluo walked into the court surrounded by palace maids. There was a look of firmness and calmness on her face, as if she was ready for anything.

An agent hurried in, clutching a secret letter in his hand.

When Wanyan Zongmei heard this, a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes. He knew that Wanyan Zongyi was not only a military general, but also a leader with foresight.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongyi also sent a number of henchmen to various places to contact potential allies.

Wen Boyuan stood in the crowd, his gaze shuttling between the ministers, secretly calculating the next situation in his heart. He knew that today's morning dynasty would definitely be a contest of words and swords.

Some ministers thought that they should support Wanyan Zongyi's crusade against Lu Duo to demonstrate the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty; Others believed that they should communicate with the Jin court to ease relations between the two sides and avoid further conflicts.

Finally, the silence of the study was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.

From time to time, his eyes looked out the window, and his heart was full of unease.

He showed his token and entered the palace without any problems.

Walking through the long corridor, he came to the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

After a long time, Zhao Yingluo finally spoke: "Tomorrow morning, convene a hundred civil and military officials to discuss the matter." This situation requires collective wisdom and joint response. ”

The news of Lu Duo's betrayal of Yan Zongyi was like a hammer, and it smashed hard into the heart of the Great Song Dynasty.

She needs to consider not only the issue of Rudo's betrayal, but also the relationship between the Great Song and the Jin State, as well as various disputes within the imperial court.

There was a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials, and everyone's face was full of worry and uneasiness.

In this night, a secret report of betrayal and conspiracy is quietly being delivered.

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night in the distance, "Rudo's betrayal also made me see some things clearly. We must re-examine our power distribution and strengthen our internal unity, so that we can no longer allow such things to happen. ”

As soon as the sky was bright, the court of the Great Song Dynasty was already in a hustle and bustle.

At the same time, the Imperial City Division Commander was waiting anxiously in his study.

At the same time, the troops led by Rudo also encountered many dangers on the way.

Zhao Yingluo didn't speak, her eyes fell on the night outside the window again.

When Wen Boyuan heard this, his heart sank. He knew that tomorrow morning would be a fierce controversy. But he also believed that under the leadership of Zhao Yingluo, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely be able to overcome this difficulty.

The content on the secret letter made Wen Boyuan's face instantly solemn.

Wen Boyuan stood aside and quietly listened to everyone's discussions.

As soon as her words fell, a discussion rang out in the court.

The news of Lu Duo's betrayal of Yan Zongyi was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. He knew very well that this news meant that a possible storm was coming for the Great Song Dynasty.

He knew that he had to inform Her Royal Highness Zhao Yingluo of the news as soon as possible, she was the decision-maker in the imperial court, and only she could decide what the Great Song would do next.

"Zhongqing is flat." Zhao Yingluo's voice was not loud, but it was enough to silence the entire court.

Seeing this, Wen Boyuan immediately greeted him, took the secret letter from the secret agent's hand, and couldn't wait to start reading.

Wen Boyuan walked up to Zhao Yingluo, bowed deeply, and then respectfully handed over the secret letter.

Although they successfully reversed the capital, the next road was not easy.

She glanced at the civil and military officials present, and then slowly spoke: "After Lu Duo betrayed Yan Zongyi, everyone must already know about it. Today's meeting is to discuss how to deal with this situation. ”

He knows that everyone's opinion represents their own position and interests.

What he needed to do was to find a balance so that the Great Song court could maintain stability in this crisis.

"Wen Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhao Yingluo suddenly turned her gaze to Wen Boyuan, obviously asking for his opinion.
