Chapter 40: The Struggle of the Kingdom of Jin
This night, Li Xiao and Gu Cheng didn't have much rest, they were on guard, for fear that something would happen. But Jin Ling slept to death, and kept talking in her dreams.
"Princess, what to do. ”
"Princess, if only Huang Xiaofeng were here, we wouldn't be arrested......"
"What, she has seen Huang Xiaofeng. Gu Cheng and Li Xiao were refreshed when they heard what Jin Ling said, and they wanted to wake her up immediately and ask her clearly. I just thought that there was a difference between men and women, so I had to give up and wait until dawn tomorrow to ask in detail.
"Gu Cheng, who did she say about the princess just now?" Li Xiao asked.
"I don't know very well, but I heard her say that she seemed to have been arrested by someone. Gu Cheng said.
"Okay, you rest for a while, and I'll keep vigil. Li Xiao said.
There were no words all night, but both of them were a little excited in their hearts, after so many days, there was finally news of Huang Xiaofeng.
As soon as the morning dawned, Jin Ling woke up, she stood up, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.
"They're on the road, so they're probably gone. I thought to myself.
"Wow, it smells so good, what does this smell like? Jin Ling walked out, only to see Gu Cheng and Li Xiao roasting wild game there.
"You're awake, come over and get something to eat. Li Xiao said.
"I'm really hungry. Jin Ling said with a smile.
"Eat. Gu Cheng handed her a rabbit calf.
"Thank you. Jin Ling took the rabbit meat and ate it.
"Do you know Huang Xiaofeng?" asked Li Xiaoxiao.
Jin Ling heard him ask this, and said casually: "Yes, what's wrong." "I kept eating it in my mouth.
"Let me tell you this, we have some friendship with Huang Xiaofeng, and now we have something to look for him, do you know where he is now?" asked Li Xiao.
All the way, Li Xiao was asking, Gu Cheng was listening quietly, he had never been good at words, and Li Xiao was talking to people about everything.
"I don't know where this is now. I just saw him in Zhongzhou City and separated. Why are you looking for something about him?" Jin Ling said.
"It's nothing, just some family business. Li Xiao said, he didn't tell the real reason.
"Okay, let's go first if we have something, you take care of yourself. Li Xiao said, and left with Gu Cheng.
After the two of them left, Jin Ling also hurried to report to the Emperor of Jin.
In the palace of the Jin Kingdom, the emperor was furious: "It really makes sense. Dispatch additional manpower, and make sure that Song Guo finds the whereabouts of the princess before that. "The Emperor of Jin listened to Jin Ling's news and gave several orders to go out for a while.
"Your Majesty, there is something strange about Chenjue's matter, how did this Jin Ling escape. Wang Zhen said.
The emperor walked back and forth in the main hall, and when he heard Wang Zhen say this, he stopped: "You mean there is a problem with this Jin Ling?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare, Jin Ling and the princess are like brothers, so naturally there is no problem. Chen is jue, those masked people deliberately let Jin Ling go. Wang Zhen said.
"Deliberately let her out so that she could give us a message?" said the Emperor in disbelief.
"The emperor is wise. Wang Zhen said.
"Since the national teacher is like this, in your opinion, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the princess is not in danger of life for the time being, and now is an opportunity, so we can use this as a reason to let those foreign kings send troops. In this way, we will be much more stressed. On the other hand, we have to send a team of men to find out the whereabouts of the princess. Wang Zhen said.
"What the national teacher said is exactly what I want, just according to your words, let the foreign surname Wang send troops, but this private dispatch will have a national teacher. The Emperor said.
"The minister must do everything in his power to find the whereabouts of the princess. Wang Zhen said that he didn't say that he would rescue the princess, but he left some room for himself.
"There is a national teacher coming out, I can rest assured. The Emperor said.
"Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't know whether to talk about or not?" Wang Zhen said cautiously.
"National teacher, it's just you and me here, let's say, I won't blame you. The Emperor looked left and right, and said.
The minister's disciple mentioned to the minister, saying that there have always been people coming and going there recently, as well as the transfer of soldiers and horses, and the minister dared to guess that the princess's affairs were related to the prince of Jinping. Wang Zhen said, observing the emperor's reaction as he spoke.
This time, Wang Zhen really thought right, but he didn't have any evidence to confirm the situation. In order to retaliate against the Jinping brothers, he wanted to borrow the emperor's hand to help him.
"National teacher, this matter can be big or small, do you have evidence?" the emperor said solemnly.
"The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister has no evidence, just ......"
"Okay, National Teacher, I know that you have a gap with Jin Ping, but this matter is not trivial, don't talk nonsense. The Emperor said solemnly.
Wang Zhen's heart was shocked, and he knelt down busily and said, "The crime of the minister deserves death." ”
"Okay, get up, I don't blame you, don't do this in the future. The Emperor said.
"The emperor's lesson, the minister must keep it in mind. Wang Zhen said.
"Well, let's leave the search for the princess to Jinping. lest anything happen to you both? The Emperor said. He had the intention of letting Jin Ping inherit his throne.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ...... about finding the princess" Before he finished speaking, the emperor said: "National teacher, I am a little tired. ”
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Wang Zhen sighed in his heart and said, "The minister retired." Then he withdrew from the main hall. ”
"This Wang Zhen is really getting more and more disagreeable, it's time to beat it well. Wang Zhen withdrew from the main hall, and the emperor said. If Wang Zhen heard this, he would definitely be frightened. But at this time, Wang Zhen was making a nameless fire at home.
A close disciple asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Hmph, Jin Ping, you must expose your conspiracy when the time comes. You remember, you have to be more careful when you are out during this time, our matter with Jinping has already made the emperor very dissatisfied. Wang Zhen confessed to his apprentice. He already had a plan in mind.
"Master, there have always been people in and out of Jinping's mansion recently, it is very suspicious, and the disciple asked him to follow that person and discovered a big secret. The disciple said, looking unusual.
When Wang Zhen heard that it was related to Jinping, he saw the smug look on the disciple's face. Then he asked angrily: "What is the secret, can you still involve Jin Ping." ”
When the disciple saw that Wang Zhen was displeased, he straightened his expression and said in one breath: "We found that the man came to a deep mountain and entered a cave, where there was a group of people guarding something. ”
Wang Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and then thought about it. Then he laughed again.
"Jinping, now I finally caught your fox tail. ”
"Master, what do you say will be in the mountains? The disciple said.
"Haha, my good apprentice, you have done a great job now, there is nothing in the mountain, it is very likely to be our princess. Wang Zhen said.
"So what do we do next? ”
"You give orders again, let people collect the clues well, and when the time comes, they will be wiped out, and I will make Jinping never turn over. Wang Zhen said.
"Yes. Master, should you contact General Wen when the time comes? The disciple said
Wang Zhen frowned, thought for a while, and said, "No, General Wen is our last strength, and we can't expose it now." ”
"Yes, I'll do it now. ”
