"Master Li...... Chai Rong is not dead, the bet between you and me?"

"Hahahaha, this is for you, the old man is in a very good mood these days, this jade plate is a good gift from you and me. When the widow wins the world, there will be great gratitude. Li Shouzhen was very happy, and immediately took off the jade plate on his waist and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin took the jade card and looked at it carefully, confirming that it was genuine. Smooth and delicate in the hand, the color and texture are impeccable, and the best thing is that there is a little red in the center of the jade, which is the highest value of this jade.

"Master Li, there is one more thing I want to ask first, how many soldiers and horses do you have?"

Li Shouzhen thought for a while: "The old man only has 20,000 soldiers and horses to call up, and there are 8,000 Yicheng soldiers in the Kaifeng military camp, which are usually used to maintain law and order in the city. In addition to the 3,000 soldiers of the old man, there is also a barracks fifteen miles outside the city, where there are 5,000 men and horses to reserve the army in case of emergency. Finally, there were 3,000 guards in the palace, all of whom were old men. ”

"I see, there are almost 20,000 troops, and it is easy for 20,000 troops to force the palace, even if you want to slaughter the city, no one can stop it...... In fact, as long as you force the palace, you can send 3,000 guards, and the other troops will not move for the time being, so as not to startle the snake. ”

"Of course, but everything must be careful, the old man does not want to capsize in the gutter. Li Shouzhen touched his beard: "I don't know what it's like to sit on Liu Chengyou's dragon chair......

Zhao Kuangyin probably knew the distribution of Li Shouzhen's troops, so he knew the other side. But it's better to ensure Guo Tong's life safety first.

"Master Li, can you let me see Guo Tong, how is he doing now?"

"Of course, let me do it. Li Shouzhen took Zhao Kuangyin to a rockery in his back garden, there was a mechanism in the rockery, and below it was a passage, deep underground. It's like a big prison, with a lot of people in it, and a lot of gold, silver, treasures, weapons, and armor are hoarded.

Li Shouzhen took Zhao Kuangyin to the deepest room, where Guo Tong was closed, and from the little thing at the door, Guo Tong was very calm and searched around, but it was absolutely impossible for a child to escape from here.

After the two returned to the study, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the sky, it was not early now, and he should go back.

"It's time for Master Li to leave, but I have to ask you for one more thing, I can't just go out like this, at least I have to go out. If you ruin some old mansions...... Master Lee won't mind. ”

Li Shouzhen said excitedly: "Please, what the virtuous nephew and Master Zongxin have brought to me is the whole world, even if you destroy the entire house, I won't be heartbroken." ”

"Then you will be offended. Zhao Kuangyin pulled out his spear and waved it around, although he didn't hurt anyone, but the whole house was destroyed.

"Okay, good, good smash, the widow is worried that these houses are too old and ready to be renovated, but there is not much need, anyway, they are about to move to the palace...... Hahahaha. ”

Li Shouzhen was already ruined at the moment of kidnapping Guo Tong and had no way out, so it didn't matter what the house was, if he couldn't move into the palace, he had to move into the underworld. Fortunately, with the help of Master Zongxin, otherwise it would not have been so easy.

Originally, he covered the sky with one hand in Bianjing, and the only threat was the soldiers and horses that Guo Wei could call on at any time and his peerless magic skills.

Master Zongxin is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and he only needs a simple way to limit Guo Wei's two major advantages, and now he can suddenly do whatever he wants, even if he immediately rushes into the palace with his own soldiers, no one dares to stop him. If Liu Chengyou can consciously hand over Guo Wei's troops to himself, he will be able to imitate Cao Mengde who coerced the world to order the princes.

If you do this, you can let Liu Chengyou live for a few more years, anyway, as long as you have military power in your hands and hold Liu Chengyou's life tightly, I believe that this world is your own.

"Wonderful~Wonderful~ Someone is coming, drive back to the palace. ”

Li Shouzhen regarded himself as a widow, and he believed that the day when he would call the emperor king was not far off, but this kind of thing was just said at home, and it could not be spread for the time being.

But soon, this word can be spread soon, and soon the whole world will know that Li Shouzhen is the next emperor.

..........................................

Zong Xin took Zhao Ziyan to the gate of the palace, and when an internal official waited at the palace gate for a long time, he directly brought Zong Xin and Zhao Ziyan to the imperial study.

Shen Zhu took the first step to tell Liu Chengyou about Zong Xin's origin to reassure him, and then told Liu Chengyou about Guo Tong's arrest and Zong Xin's imminent arrival at the palace, so the internal officials would wait in front of the palace gate.

Before coming to the imperial study, Liu Chengyou could be said to have been waiting for a long time, and his face was like dirt. Because what he feared the most happened, Li Shouzhen broke the balance and the country was not guaranteed......

"Amitabha Buddha ~ See Your Majesty!"

"Master excuse me, who is this ......?"

Zong Xin said with a smile: "This is Miss Zhao Valve, the poor monk dragged her to do something and came to the palace to see it by the way." ”

"See Your Majesty. ”

"Excuse me, please. At this time, Liu Chengyou is more polite than anyone else, and no force can be let go. Now that Li Shouzhen has broken the balance, the next thing he has to do is naturally to forcibly seize military power.

The group immediately walked to the study, and when they came to the study, they found that Shenzhu had been drinking tea inside, and his expression was very calm.

"It's great that Lord Kamitsu is here too. Zong Xin said: "Now Guo Wei's second son Guo Tong was captured by Li Shouzhen, and wrote a letter to force Guo not to leave Guo's mansion within a month. I'm afraid ......"

"The Divine Capture is well-informed, and I already know about it. Li Shouzhen is a wolf and has ambitions, and believes that it will not be long before he asks me for military power. I don't know what the master's opinion is?" Liu Chengyou knew that the situation was complicated, except for dozens of henchmen around him, the entire Kaifeng was Li Shouzhen's people, and even the palace guards were Li Shouzhen's people.

"The military power must not be given to Li Shouzhen, otherwise the whole world will be in Li Shouzhen's pocket. Zong Xin said: "As long as Your Majesty bites the military power, Li Shouzhen can only force the palace." The day Li Shouzhen sent out his troops was the time when he lost power. This matter is wrapped up in the poor monk, and it must be for His Majesty to get rid of this traitorous minister. ”

"Then there's Master Law. ”

Zong Xin arched his hand and said, "Lord Divine Catcher, do you know how Li Shouzhen's troops are?"

"Of course, there are 3,000 personal soldiers, 3,000 palace guards, 8,000 Yicheng troops, and 5,000 reserve troops outside the city. This is all the troops of Li Shouzhen in Kaifeng. Shen said: "In fact, Li Shouzhen's troops are far more than that, there are still 200,000 troops in the river, but it is difficult to save the fire from far away, I believe that Li Shouzhen can only mobilize these horses." ”

"Enough...... All the troops in Kaifeng are in his hands. The poor monk will find a way, and His Majesty does not have to worry. Zong Xin said with a smile: "The time is urgent, and the poor monk will leave, and I only ask Your Majesty to bite the military power and hold on, otherwise he will be cut off." ”

Liu Chengyou immediately nodded and said, "Master, please rest assured, even if Li Shouzhen cuts off one of the widow's arms, he will never hand over the military power to him." ”

"Farewell. ”

"The master walks slowly. ”

Zong Xin took Zhao Ziyan out of the palace, and Zhao Ziyan looked at the little monk with a look of adoration. Although he is not very old, he can play the world in the palm of his hand, and even the Hidden Emperor Liu Chengyou is respectful to him. No one knew that his father turned out to be Lei Hong, which can be said to be black and white.

Lei Tianxiao was unhappy in his heart, the little brother was too despicable. God is also you, and ghosts are also you, it seems that you are strategizing, but in fact, you will secretly arrange the overall situation, of course, you can be one step ahead.

Lei Tianxiao inherited Lei Hong's talent for martial arts, but he didn't learn half a point about Lei Hong's despicability and insidiousness. And this little brother is carrying forward, not only is he talented in martial arts, but he is also despicable and shameless than his father. The most depressing little brother turned out to be in front of the world as a monk. Unlike his father Lei Hong, he just wants everyone to know that he is the most vicious person in the world, so that people dare not provoke him.

In contrast, the younger brother's approach is smarter and meaner at the same time.

With Lei Tianxiao's character, even if he is his younger brother, he will never allow him to cause trouble in the world. But this time the younger brother did a good thing, although the method was despicable and shameless, but the ultimate goal was to assassinate Li Shouzhen, a big traitor.

"Brother Tianxiao, can Master Zongxin really survive this catastrophe for the widow? Why don't you ask your father for ......" Liu Chengyou knew the identity of the god capture, and the two had a very close relationship. Because of an accident, Liu Chengyou saved Lei Tianxiao's life, so Lei Tianxiao, as Liu Chengyou's cronies, has been staying by his side.

Shen said: "Your Majesty, my father is Li Shouzhen's eldest brother, you let Weichen beg him, is it useful? I hope my father doesn't make a move, otherwise Guo Wei will be useless even if he leaves the house." Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, and now no one in the whole Kaifeng can fight with Li Shouzhen, only pray that Master Zongxin can strategize and win more with less. ”

"Win more with less? Li Shouzhen has 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can a monk win with just one monk?" Liu Chengyou wanted to believe it, but he couldn't believe it. After all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, not to mention that Li Shouzhen's martial arts are very high, and Master Zongxin may not be his opponent.

"It's superfluous to worry, is there any way for Your Majesty to solve the dilemma?" Lei Tianxiao said: "Your Majesty has a life-saving grace for Weichen, and Weichen will definitely do his best to find out where Guo Dong is, just rescue Guo Dong." Master Guo's martial arts are extremely high, even if there are many masters around Li Shouzhen, he will not escape death. ”

Lei Tianxiao is only comforting, he knows best in his heart that no matter how high a person's martial arts are, it is useless. Yeluzhen's martial arts skills are higher than Guo Wei's, but when Yeluzhen assassinated Shi Jingjiao, he was still seriously injured and unsuccessful.

However, Yelu Zhen was able to inflict heavy losses on the demon concubine Yaochi in the two armies, and killed nearly a thousand people, and finally escaped with injuries, which is also an unprecedented strong man.

"If you want to save Guo Tong, I'm afraid it's not so easy~" How could Liu Chengyou not know that Li Shouzhen must have Guo Tong with him, that is the key to his ascension to the throne and emperor, and he can't worry about where to put it. With Lei Tianxiao's martial arts, it is even more impossible to rob Guo Tong in the hands of Li Shouzhen.

The relationship between Liu Chengyou and Lei Tianxiao is very complicated, outsiders don't know what the reason is, only the two of them understand it in their hearts.

After Zong Xin left the palace with Zhao Ziyan, he asked in a low voice: "Ziyan, what medicine makes people lose their strength after taking it, but it will not be poisoned." ”

"Laxative ......"

"Good way~" Zong Xin pinched Ziyan's face and smiled: "Ghosts and spirits, there is my style." Call your brother and tell him to do this......"

Zong Xin told Zhao Ziyan about the plan, Ziyan couldn't help but laugh evilly, and the two immediately rushed back to Guo's mansion to get the money.
