Chapter 737: Suppressing the Strong and Helping the Weak (2)
"Me?" Zhao Xin looked dazed, "Su Daxia means to ask me to intercede with my father?"
"No!" Su He slowly shook his head with a solemn expression, "It's not to intercede with the Great Song Emperor, but to intercede with your future husband." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi and Zhao Xin's faces changed in unison. It seems that when the two heard the words "future husband", their hearts were greatly shocked.
"You don't know, the prince and the Great Khan are brothers of the same mother, if he opens his mouth to intercede with the Great Khan......" Su He thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and said intermittently, "No! There is no need to intercede at all, just inform it, and the Great Khan will gladly promise that he will never mention this matter again." However, the person who can convince the prince to intervene in this matter...... Only the princess. ”
"I see. Zhao Xin's heart was in turmoil, her eyes were erratic, and she murmured in her mouth, "If I can save the people of a town, of course I am willing to plead with Hu Lie, but I am afraid of ......."
"The princess can rest assured that before the Mongol Great Khan gives an answer, the Great Song Dynasty will not act rashly. Su He understood Zhao Xin's worries, so he swore a promise.
"So best ......"
Looking at the depressed and absent-minded Zhao Xin, Liu Xunyi's heart was sour and depressed, and he wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't speak after all.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it right now. Feng Tianba gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that the group of people in black was cheapened for nothing, and it was obviously their fault, but they asked the princess to clean up the mess...... When I return to Lin'an, I will definitely ask the Prime Minister for his life to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"Those black-clothed people left a blood letter in Yunya Town, which read, 'I'd rather die on the battlefield and return to the northern country, than pray for barbarians'. Wu Chan recalled, "These words express the hearts of many folk righteous people. ”
"Whatever their purpose, they should not act against the court. Feng Tianba said stubbornly, "Even the team sent by the imperial court dared to intercept and kill, it was simply arrogant and lawless." If we don't severely punish this group of fanatics, how can we strictly enforce the law and discipline?"
"What I don't understand the most is how those black-clothed people knew our whereabouts and arrangements, and how did they set up an ambush in Yunya Town in advance, and unknowingly and unknowingly crossed the sea?" Su He explained, "They know how to use a few people to drag the east and west mansions, and the team went straight to the North Street store where the princess and the king of Hexi stayed, and they clearly knew our every move." Thousands of men in black were banned, chaotic and well-trained, not like a rabble recruited on the fly. ”
"What's even more strange is that the North Street store we live in is obviously next to the Qinling Mountains, and if you want to get close, you must pass through the East and West Second Streets, but why didn't General Xu and Vice General Tao notice it at all?" Feng Tianba took the opportunity to raise his own question, "There were hundreds of people in black that night, no matter how secretive they were, it was impossible for them to get away with it under the noses of General Xu and Vice General Tao." Don't...... Hundreds of people from General Xu and Vice General Tao slept like dead pigs? Isn't that too strange?"
"That's good!" Su He couldn't deny, "But if General Xu and Vice General Tao sense a hint of strangeness, we can also react early, so as not to be caught off guard by being killed." With General Sui's many years of experience in warfare, it is not known to kill them. What is the problem? How did the men in black know our whereabouts? And how did they quietly bypass the defenses of General Xu and Adjutant Tao?"
Feng Tianba's eyes rolled and he said in a low voice, "Will it be ...... There's a mole?"
"No!" Without waiting for Su He to answer, Liu Xunyi spoke first, "The itinerary of sending relatives is a secret of the imperial court, and only two people know the arrangements along the way, one is General Sui and the other is General Xu. In addition, the others, including the princess, me, and Brother Su, only knew the specific arrangements the day before they arrived at a place. If there is a mole, the biggest possibility is General Sui and General Xu, but they are all victims, and General Xu is even more ...... died tragically in Yunya Town, how could it be a mole?"
When Liu Xunyi denied the mole, Li Haitang couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy when he looked at him.
Liu Xunyi did not protect Xu Guangsheng, but to take care of the overall situation. After all, Xu Guangsheng was the guard general appointed by the imperial court, and if the Mongols knew that he was an accomplice in the Yunya Town bloody case, the Great Song Dynasty would inevitably be to blame. Even if the disaster of war can be avoided, I am afraid that it will take hundreds of millions of real money to appease the anger of the Mongols.
It is a matter of the prosperity and decline of the national body and the face of the court, and Liu Xunyi does not dare to take risks easily.
As for why he didn't confess Jin Fuyu, it was because he had no evidence, even if he told the truth, the Mongolian Khan might not believe it, but thought that Liu Xunyi was excusing the Great Song Dynasty and deliberately blaming his former enemy.
What's more, today's Liu Xunyi is notorious in the rivers and lakes, as long as Jin Fuyu quibbles, the Central Plains Martial Arts will definitely be the first to stand up and criticize Liu Xunyi. How could the Mongols believe a "truth" that even the Han themselves did not believe?
At that time, his frankness will not only not be able to save the Great Song Dynasty from the dire situation, but may become more and more blackened and fall deeper and deeper.
What's more, the only ironclad evidence that can lead to Jin Fuyu is Xu Guangsheng, and Xu Guangsheng is dead, and there is no proof of death. Therefore, even within the Great Song Dynasty, no one may believe his "revelations".
The current situation is enough to make people anxious, and it is not easy to try to prevaricate. As for the investigation of the truth, in the case of no evidence and unpredictable consequences, it can be said that the whole body will be affected by one shot, Liu Xunyi really does not dare to take risks, let alone make extraneous branches and add chaos to chaos.
With the sad mentality that more is better than less, and solving one thing is one thing, Liu Xunyi knew that the real murderer was at large, but he could only endure humiliation and humiliation, turning big things into small things and small things.
Although he was wronged, he was helpless, so he could only hope that after calming down the Song and Meng turmoil, he would find another opportunity to extinguish Jin Fuyu's arrogance.
"Amitabha!" Seeing that everyone was preoccupied, they were silent, and said in a quiet manner, "There are priorities, and the top priority should still be to rescue the innocent people of Yunya Town at the moment. ”
"Since Princess Xinde is the only hope, it is important to send the princess to the camp in Jingbei safely. "But...... There is still one tricky thing at the moment. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Liu Xunyi is under the order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes, and now he has lost the guards of the Song and Meng's soldiers and horses, which will inevitably attract the covetousness of all walks of life. If he escorts the princess north, I'm afraid of ......"
"Can Lord Liu and the princess part ways?" Kong Hui suggested.
"No, Lord Liu is the emperor's hand-appointed 'peace envoy', and he can't leave half a step before the princess marries the Mongolian prince!" Feng Tianba shook his head resolutely, "What's more, the guard general is dead, if he and the personal envoy also leave, what kind of system will it be?"
"This ......"
"Actually, the Jingbei camp is not far from here, as long as we are cautious along the way, with Su's martial arts, plus the help of Commander Feng and Brother Li, it should not be difficult to protect the princess. Su He weighed and said, "We can disguise ourselves and travel in a low-key manner, and no longer make as much fanfare as before, maybe ......."
"This matter is not only related to the life and death of the people of Yunya Town, but also to the survival of the Great Song Dynasty. "Although you are masters, there are many outlaws in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that you can block one or two, but you can't stop eight or ten." Although most of the heroes of the rivers and lakes are moral, have clear grievances, and will not attack the innocent princess, they are only afraid of ...... in case of everything."
"Uncle Shizu!" Before he finished speaking, Wu Chan, who was standing on the side, suddenly said timidly, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and we monks should be more compassionate. Since this matter is related to the life and death of many people, the little monk ...... I am also willing to do my part. ”
"What do you mean......"
"The little monk is willing to accompany the princess with Liu Shizhu and others, escorting the princess all the way to the camp in Jingbei, beware of what Uncle Shi just said. ”
"The "Yijin Sutra" of the little master of Su Wen Wu Zen has been practiced to the high and profound realm of pure fire, and there are only a handful of people who can match it in today's martial arts. Li Haitang teased, "If there is a little master of Wuzen with us, there will be four masters of the dragon elephant list in our group, why are we afraid of threats when we walk the rivers and lakes? I just don't know...... What does Master Yuanku think? Will he dislike that he is a former pagan disciple and disdain to be with me?"
"Since it is a matter of life and death, it is natural to put the common people in the world first!" Yuan Ku repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded in agreement, "What's more, when the Lord of the Luo League was alive, he had already classified Longxiang Mountain as a martial arts orthodoxy, so what kind of paganism could he talk about? The benefits of this matter, the poor monk will make it clear to the abbot, and I Shaolin will contribute to the peace of the world and the peace of the people. ”
"Master Yuanku is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he is really compassionate and understands the righteousness ......"
"But there is a verse, the poor monk must speak first!" Su He's voice did not fall, Yuan Ku suddenly changed his words, his eyes looked at Liu Xunyi with complicated eyes, and said in a tangled manner, "Shaolin is a famous and decent martial arts in the Central Plains after all, and not killing you is not disobeying the order of the Qingfeng Alliance Lord, but the monks do not open the killing ring." Therefore, even if we do not obey the orders of the Central Plains Martial Arts Alliance Leader, we must not go against each other. ”
"Master Yuanku doesn't have to go around in circles, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt!" Liu Xunyi vaguely guessed a clue, so he asked bluntly.
"That's good!" said with a bitter expression, "Wu Chan's trip represents Shaolin, for the righteousness of the family and country, for the people of Yunya Town, and for the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty, not for a certain person or a certain purpose." Therefore, he can only come to the rescue when the princess's life is threatened. In addition, in the face of other grievances, Wu Zen is not allowed to make a move, especially ...... When the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the lord of Liu Shi have a fight, no matter whether they win or lose, life or death, they are all grievances in the rivers and lakes, and Wu Zen must not touch the slightest, so as not to insult the reputation of Shaolin and make enemies in the world. ”
