Early the next morning, when Zhao Weiming was talking with Lingxu Daoist and others, Wen He hurried to the place where Qunhao was staying with Yin of the Lanzhou Mansion and told Zhao Weiming that Renzong learned that the peace talks were successful Longyan Dayue, and immediately passed down the edict: Zhao Weiming, the king of Mingyi, on behalf of the emperor, returned to Yelu Chongyuan, the lord of the Jin State, and others at Yin's house.

Zhao Weiming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said goodbye to Qunhao one by one, then left the hotel and went to Zhiying. After coming, the Yin family in the Lanzhou Mansion had already renovated the front hall, just waiting for the arrival of the VIPs of the Jin and Song dynasties.

Seeing that everything had been cleaned up, Zhao Weiming started gossiping with Yin, the governor of Shanzhou. The conversation learned that although there are imperial army garrisons in this Lanzhou all the year round, it is extremely difficult to defend because many places in Lanzhou are intertwined with the land of Jizhou, which has been occupied by the Jin State.

Zhao Weiming's heart moved, and secretly thought: Although the beggar gang has been established now, the location of the general helm has not yet been determined, if it can be settled here, it can be taken care of by the Lanzhou government from time to time, and second, it can also play the role of defending the border for the imperial court; wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!

made up his mind, so he informed Yin of the idea of wanting to put the chief helm of the beggar gang in Lanzhou. When Yin heard this, he immediately agreed to hand over the area of the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city to the beggars.

Just when the two were talking, the soldiers came to report that the lord of the Jin Kingdom and Lord Wen had arrived at the city of Lanzhou.

Hearing the report, Zhao Weiming and the others did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and hurried to the city gate to meet Yelu Chongyuan and his party.

After meeting Yelu Chongyuan's ministers and ministers, seeing that it was almost noon, Zhao Weiming and Wen He directly led Yelu Chongyuan and his party to the front hall of Yin's house in Shanzhou Mansion to take a seat.

Today's dishes are very rich, not only the cooking furniture is transferred from the capital, but also some ingredients are brought directly from the royal dining room.

Because he knew that the northerners were very good at drinking, Zhao Weiming did not twist his drinking this time, and directly held a bowl to drink with Yelu Chongyuan and his party.

Seeing that Zhao Weiming drank a lot of alcohol, Yelu Chongyuan and Zhao Weiming talked about the heroes of the wine country, and said, "If you talk about the amount of alcohol, Li Yuanhao, the current lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, is the first;

After asking Li Yuanhao for details, Zhao Weiming knew that it turned out that his righteous brothers, who had been drinking outside Chang'an City in the past, had become the lord of Western Xia at this time.

I can't help but secretly rejoice. It turned out that when the Tuyuhun army of Nanzhao State was besieging Dali City, Li Yuanhao's father, Yinzhou Jiedu Envoy, was also suffering from the persecution of his own lord.

Li Yuanhao was furious, raised troops to the palace to kill the lord of the country, and set himself up as the king;

Speaking of his relationship with Li Yuanhao, Yelu Chongyuan couldn't help but secretly admire this Great Song Dynasty royal brother.

Coupled with Misher's efforts to agree during the banquet, everyone was smiling at the meal. The atmosphere is also very harmonious.

It turned out that although the Song Dynasty promised Mishuer a lot of money, when paying the honorarium, the Song Dynasty kept an eye on it: pay half of it first, and then pay the other half slowly after the peace talks are completely over.

The more I drank, the more interested I became, and I ate a meal until the early morning of the next day, and Yelu Chongyuan and his party returned happily.

On the same day, Zhao Weiming and all the beggars and disciples settled down in the area of the Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city designated by Yin of the Lanzhou Mansion.

At the same time, the general rudder was informed to all factions in the rivers and lakes. sent away the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and Zhao Weiming, who thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, received a secret order from Renzong brought by Wenhe.

When I opened the brocade box sent by Wenhe, there was a note inside. The note reads: The royal brother is only clear, and the words are like faces!

Recently, I was shocked to hear that the Duanwang family in Jiangning Mansion was killed by murderers. Although King Duan is not a lineage of my Taizong, but the righteousness of the same sect cannot be ignored, but I am entangled in redundant affairs, and it is my royal business, so I have to appoint the royal brother to personally investigate carefully.

At that time, I will also send capable people to secretly assist the royal brother. At the same time, I also hope that the royal brother can investigate in detail the bizarre past of King Yan, King Qin and the previous generation of Duan Wang, so as to unravel the truth of the successive accidents of Taizu's lineage, so as to reveal it to the world!

After reading this, Zhao Weiming immediately felt extremely heavy in his heart, and hurried back to the general helm to hand over the affairs of the Gangzhong to Hong Qi, and immediately hurried to Jiangning Mansion.

It turns out that Zhao Dexiu, the father of this Duan Wang, is the fourth son of Taizu and the younger brother of Zhao Weiming's father Zhao Dezhao.

Jiangning Mansion, the capital of Jiangning East Road, has jurisdiction over six counties: Shangyuan, Jiangning, Lishui, Liyang, Jurong, Guangde, Wuhu, Fanchang, Tongling, and Qingyang.

Because it was once the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the city was extremely prosperous. After entering the city, I saw the street bustling with people, busy traffic, restaurants, cloth shops, money villages, dart bureaus, pharmacies, and grocery stores on both sides of the street.

When Zhao Weiming arrived at Jiangning Mansion, it was already noon. This time, he did not patronize those relatively cheap ordinary inns, but only found a large-scale restaurant to live in.

Because according to past experience, a restaurant of this scale has more customers, and the little two in the store are also the most well-informed, and the anecdotes of Tiannan, Haibei, and Jianghu can be said to be omniscient and omniscient.

When he was young, after using the food brought by Xiao Er, Zhao Weiming casually rewarded him with some broken silver, and the two chatted.

During the conversation, Dian Xiaoer told Zhao Weiming that the most powerful person in the Jiangning Mansion was not Jiangning Mansion Yin, but Zhao Weizong, the Duanwang who was more than sixty miles away.

However, although this Duan Wang is extremely powerful, he is extremely cautious on weekdays, and he is also extremely strict with his subordinates; therefore, the people of Jiangning Mansion can hardly feel the existence of this imperial relative.

Gradually, people's impression of Duanwang began to blur, and the recollection of Duanwang was a tragedy that happened a few months ago: at that time, someone found that more than 100 members of Duanwang's family were killed in the mansion overnight.

After the inquest by the government, Ni Duan was not found. For a time, rumors spread, and even rumors of evil spirits were spreading.

Zhao Weiming didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and immediately decided to go to the scene to find out in person. So after asking the shopkeeper about the location of Duanwang's mansion, he sent him out.

In order to avoid startling the snake, Zhao Weiming waited until it was dark before changing into night clothes and going to Qingyang County. After arriving, Zhao Weiming found the Duanwang Mansion located in the south of Qingyang County according to the second sign of the shop, and in a short time.

Seeing that this building is majestic and occupies a large area. 'Renzong really has a good relationship with my Taizu!' Zhao Weiming said secretly.

After determining that this was indeed Duanwang's Mansion, Zhao Weiming immediately jumped on the roof. But after searching the entire building, there was no light in the huge Duanwang Mansion, and it was as gloomy as the Netherworld Ghost Domain.

Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly tapped him lightly on the shoulder. When I turned my head, it was Ye Xiao, who I hadn't seen for many days.

"The corpses have been moved elsewhere, and they want to see me go!" Ye Xiao said. Zhao Weiming didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed Ye Xiao and galloped away.

In a short time, the two of them had already walked to a remote house and stood still. Ye Xiao stretched out her hand and pushed open the door to beckon Zhao Weiming in.

Zhao Weiming didn't think about it, and followed Ye Xiao into the house. As soon as he entered the house, a cold air immediately hit his face, making Zhao Weiming shiver.
