Chapter 66

Zhao Li said: "In the final analysis, Daddy still has to raise troops to fight, and he has to fight against the Son of Heaven, which is tantamount to rebellion." Daddy really has to think clearly, turn back as soon as possible, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Zhao Ping said: "Li'er, you are still young, it is normal for you to not be able to see through some things, if Daddy's ambition can be completed, the Great Liang Dynasty will return to unification in the true sense, even if the saint is responsible, Daddy will not hesitate."

Daddy just wants you to do one thing for Daddy. ”

Zhao Li said: "You don't want your daughter to go back to Kyoto." ”

Zhao Ping said: "In addition, I have to ask you to escort Hou Ye back to Beijing." ”

Zhao Li said: "Daddy wants to drive his daughter back, but I don't know what bad things you want to do, are you going to continue to chase the Central Plains and slaughter the disciples of various sects?"

Zhao Ping said: "If they surrender with peace of mind, Daddy will naturally not embarrass them." ”

Zhao Li said angrily: "Daddy Hugh wants to leave me alone, in short, there is a daughter here, and Daddy must not use troops against all factions in the rivers and lakes again." ”

Zhao Ping said: "Li'er has been in the rivers and lakes for half a year, and is well versed in the happiness and warmth of the people in the rivers and lakes, but the situation is like this, the martial arts have become a rule, even if you don't think about your father, you should always think about your mother, when your father sent someone to Jinling to pick up your mother, your mother refused to leave Beijing, and a few days ago the book was passed here, so that your father made you go back, and you have to see your people to leave Beijing with peace of mind."

Now that you are so willful, you can't even take care of your family, how can you take pity on the people of the rivers and lakes?"

Zhao Li was teary-eyed, knowing how sad her mother was when she learned that her father was so disobedient, it seemed that it was difficult for her father to turn back, and it was useless for her to entangle and persuade her.

At this time, she suddenly thought of what Xiao Song said, saying that Xu Qing is His Royal Highness the Prince who can save the rivers and lakes, and when she has nothing to do, can she try it according to Xiao Song's strategy, so why not, so she asked firmly: "Daddy, is it a day to leave for the Central Plains?"

Zhao Ping said: "It's about five days later." ”

Zhao Li fell into deep thought, thinking that Brother Xu would come soon, if he could reunite with Brother Xu after his father left the mountain, and then discuss the matter of the son by the way, it would be okay to ask him, so he returned to Zhao Ping and said: "The daughter can escort the Hou Ye back, you can persuade the mother to leave Beijing, and then arrange her properly, but if the father does too much, the daughter will not recognize you as a father." ”

After that, he turned his head and said again: "Daddy, let's go, my daughter is sleepy." ”

Zhao Ping was a little happy, but it was inconvenient to say more, so he had to stand up and leave, walked out of the house, covered the door, Zhao Li took off his coat, lay on the couch, thinking about the next thing, and said nothing for a night.

On the erection day, Zhao Li got up early, but saw Xiao Song's chair by the bench in the courtyard, with a shocked face, walked to his side and said, "Why did Master Hou come out?"

Xiao Song said with a smile: "This naturally depends on the county lord, thanks to the county lord for speaking for Ben Hou, Ben Hou was able to live." ”

At this time, when he saw Zhao Ping coming, he immediately changed his face and said: "What you said is interesting, Ben Hou is a great Liang Taidou, what can a house do to me, I think that Zhao Ping will not release Ben Hou again, Ben Hou will not be able to bypass him." ”

Zhao Ping saw it himself, but his face was not angry, he walked in front of the two, and said with a smile: "What Hou Ye said is very true, yesterday it was Xiao Wang who collided with Hou Ye, and I came to compensate Hou Ye, and I hope that Hou Ye can be Haihan." ”

Xiao Song said: "How dare you, the prince is in power to the government and the opposition, the court and the court have to bow their heads when they see you Zhao Wangye, how can Ben Hou refute your complexion, what Fang just said, don't care about the prince, just fart." ”

Zhao Ping said: "If there is no support from the Hou Ye, how can Xiao Wang be where he is today." ”

Xiao Song said: "Gossip and don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, you can consider what you said yesterday, Ben Hou will give you one last chance, if you don't repent, don't blame Ben Hou for being ruthless." ”

Zhao Li felt a little flustered, seeing this Xiao Song's two-faced and three-faced, I really don't know if what he said is true and which sentence is false.

And casually said that Xu Qing was the prince of the previous dynasty, and the prince of the current dynasty, what did Jianyang Hou Uncle Zhao conspire to hang himself, and Ye Ji Lao'er abducted the prince's abduction.

Thinking about it carefully, he was in a trance for a while, but he didn't know that Zhao Ping had called himself several times, Xiao Song saw that Zhao Li was a little absent-minded, so he also called a sentence, Zhao Li reacted to himself, and hurriedly asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Ping smiled: "I'm asking you, when can you leave to escort Hou Ye back to Beijing?"

Zhao Li was quite surprised, didn't he still see that the two of them were incompatible, Xiao Song's face was not good, why did he discuss the matter of returning to Kyoto, so he said: "My daughter can do it at any time, I don't know if Master Hou has any plans to return to Beijing?"

Xiao Song said: "If your father can agree to collect the troops, I can go back with you, but your father also has to go back, and ask the saint in person, and Ben Hou will say a few good words for him, reading that your father has worked hard and made great achievements, and the saint will be lenient." ”

Zhao Ping said: "Hou Ye try to imagine, now such a situation, how can Xiao Wang say that he can collect it, the water that is spilled, the girl who marries out, how can there be a reason to take it back, the rivers and lakes and the court have always been incompatible, this sword must always be pulled out, if it is not pulled out today, it will be pulled out tomorrow, what is the difference between the morning and the evening, even if there is a difference, but this sword has been unsheathed, if it is rashly folded, it will definitely change."

Now the factions of the rivers and lakes must hate us and other people in the Northern Court, while avoiding the edge, while thinking about how to fight back, once we give them a chance to breathe, wait until they are full of strength, give us a head-on blow, maybe the situation has changed greatly, and then there will be more casualties, has Hou Ye ever thought about this?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Song and Zhao Li were silent, and secretly felt that what Zhao Ping said was not unreasonable, but the matter was by no means solved in this way, Zhao Li suddenly said: "Even if Daddy is reasonable, endless killing will only provoke more hatred, and the Jianghu court cannot live together, so only one party can be destroyed."

However, after hundreds of years of time, how can it be said that it can be destroyed, and my daughter thinks that the safest way is to negotiate with them and find a way to achieve both. ”

Zhao Ping said: "Don't say more, where is the law of both worlds, either you die or I die, this is an eternal truth." ”

Xiao Song said: "It seems that the prince is determined to disobey the holy will, Ben Hou doesn't want to say more, so go back to Beijing, the prince can't blame Ben Hou for participating in you." ”

Zhao Ping said: "Master Hou, please." ”

Xiao Song threw up his sleeves and left, returned to Tailun to live inside, and most of the guards outside retreated, which was no longer as rigorous as yesterday, and Xiao Song did not enter the residence.

After five days, Zhao Ping led the army down the mountain, instructed Zhao Li to escort Xiao Song back to Beijing, plus dozens of soldiers to support, before leaving, Zhao Li asked Zhao Ping, where is the next place to chase the deer, Zhao Ping wanted to conceal it, for fear that Zhao Li would not go to Kyoto, but went the opposite way, and informed the people of the rivers and lakes where he went, so that they could prepare first.

But Zhao Li is by no means a person who does not keep his promises, and his wife Liyang is still in Kyoto, she will never abandon it, so Zhao Ping replied.

"This is naturally continued from the south, the first place of attack is Naye City, and the nearby more and more cottages, in the past, the owner of the village Chen Zhao escaped from the hands of the king, this time the king decided not to let him go. ”

Zhao Li hurriedly said: "Daddy, you must be merciful, if the people of the village are surrendered, you don't want to kill, you have to act at your discretion." ”

Zhao Ping leaned on his shoulders and smiled: "Don't worry, Daddy just wants to occupy the mountains and don't want their lives." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, Zhao Li looked at Zhao Ping's back, and felt uneasy, only to feel that he was going, and how many children of the rivers and lakes should be persecuted by him, so that he had no life to return to, there are only two ways at the moment, one is simple and fast, lift the long sword, and cut off Zhao Ping's head with a sword, but he is his own father, who has raised himself for many years, and the father and daughter have a deep relationship.

But only by killing this person can the wolf smoke be temporarily stopped, but it is not a long-term solution, the second strategy is what Xiao Song said, find Brother Xu, if he is really His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, or can help himself, these have to be asked face to face.

I hesitated in every way, if I saw Brother Xu and discussed with him, maybe everything was very different, or don't be reckless.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Song standing in the distance, raising his eyes to look at Zhao Ping and the Qingjia Army beside him, but his face was cloudy and uncertain, which made people unprovoked.

Zhao Li walked in front of Xiao Song, Xiao Song was about to speak, but Zhao Li didn't look at it, just continued to walk towards the faction, Xiao Song was a little suspicious, followed behind, and caught up and said: "The county lord just needs to wait here for the prince to come." ”

Seeing that Zhao Li did not answer, he said: "The county lord must remember, what Ben Hou said to you, you must not let others listen to it, once the secret of heaven is leaked, let those people in the rivers and lakes who don't know what to do, the first thing is to bypass His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." ”

Zhao Li said: "I am also from the rivers and lakes, aren't you afraid that I will be unfavorable to the prince?"

Xiao Song said with a smile: "The county lord joked about what Ben Hou did, there are tens of millions of wanderers in this world, even if they all want to take the life of His Royal Highness the prince, the county lord will not hurt him in the slightest." ”

Zhao Li always felt that there was something in Xiao Song's words, and he felt uncomfortable, so he walked faster, and Xiao Song also noticed it, so he didn't talk anymore.

The two walked into the pie, each went back to the house, and after a few hours, a few cooks in the house prepared lunch, and the army attendants sent it to the Phantom Life Residence and Tailun Center, Xiao Song opened the door to receive food, and went back to the house to eat.

The soldier knocked on the door several times, but no one responded in the house, so the soldier pushed open the door, saw the figure of Zhao Li on the couch next to the table, put down the food drawer, ran out of the house, and shouted: "Come on, the county lord is gone." ”

More than a dozen soldiers rushed outside the courtyard and asked where Zhao Li went, and the military attendant even said that he didn't know, and for a while, the phantom life residence exploded up and down, and the news quickly spread to Tailunju.

Xiao Song rushed out of the residence and said hurriedly: "You will quickly search all the places in the faction, and you will definitely find the county lord." ”

The sergeants received the order and rushed to search for people, Xiao Song was at a loss for a while, thinking that this Zhao Limo was not remorseful, and wanted to rush to Yecheng alone to report the news, or did he have any other thoughts, but he couldn't think about it for a while, and he shook his head and sighed.

But said that Zhao Li returned to his home, and became more and more distracted, and secretly felt that this Xiao Song had no good intentions, if he did not personally identify it, it would be difficult to reach a conclusion, and now he went to his house to ask him, which was nothing more than a few perfunctory words, or put forward a lot of excuses to confuse himself.

After thinking about it three times, Zhao Li secretly went out of the house and searched for several major pavilions around him, for fear that Xiao Song would hide an army of thousands of people and make a plan to cross the sea all over the world, and wait for Brother Xu to go up the mountain, and then pour out of the nest to catch turtles in an urn, which became his own sin.

The sergeant who had avoided some patrols did not have any real success, and when he saw that Changyao, the rebel of Taihu Lake, went down the mountain with Zhao Ping, and the deputy general Yang Ji also accompanied him, even Huang Nansheng did not stay here, and left the mountain with the army, and smiled at himself a few times before leaving, which made him nauseous.

All this seems to be too smooth, there is no trace of twists and turns, Zhao Li always feels wrong, but he can find that Xiao Song is not hiding the secret guest here, could it be that he is suspicious, and he is wrong to blame this Xiao Song?
