Chapter 662: Let the Emperor Die
Xiao Han was talking about the key point when he heard a report from the outside that someone was coming from Tokyo, and Xiao Han immediately stopped and led Murong Qiuyu out to meet the guests. It is important to be able to rush from Tokyo at night, and everyone stays in the hall talking and laughing, and Murong Qiuyu comes in to inform everyone to go back and rest.
Li Yueying knew that something was wrong with them, and immediately asked Murong Qiuyu to take care of Xiao Han, and then go back to rest on her own. Everyone dispersed, and everything was cleaned up by their own debris.
Xiao Han then urgently summoned Zhuang Tianyou and Guan Xiangming, and discussed until he was ugly before going back to rest. Xiao Han knew that Li Yueying had rested, and went back to the house with Murong Qiuyu to sleep.
When he got up early the next morning, Xiao Han urgently sent someone to convene a meeting of Zhu Xiaoxia and told them that there was news from Tokyo that the whereabouts of the three eunuchs had been found, and that the matter was urgent, and that all of them would rush to Tokyo to get people immediately.
Knowing that the treasure of the map that had been circulating for a long time was expected to be found, everyone was in good spirits and immediately went back to pack their bags and prepare to go. Because it is not a gang fight, there is no need to bring so many people, so Xiao Han ordered all the Wudang disciples to stay on the mountain, Bai Jiuxiao and others were seriously injured and did not recover, and the guards of Wudang had their own Sima An, Zhuang Tianyou, and Guan Xiangming were fully responsible.
The key is now in the hands of the Burning Heaven God Sect, fortunately, Shi Chuyang didn't take it away when he rebelled, as long as he gathered seven old eunuchs, he could find the map, and then he could successfully find the treasure with the key, and if it was true, he could lie down for the rest of his life, and he didn't have to work hard.
Wan Shicheng and the factions agreed to gather in Wudang Mountain in February, and the rest of the living gangs have rushed to their new work stations after the New Year, only Qi Xinyi, the head of the Peach Blossom Faction, and Fu Qiuya, the head of Guanyin Nunnery, want to take care of Zhu Gaoyang, and still stay in Dengfeng County.
Xiao Han's announcement shocked all countries in the world. It is said that the countries are now only left in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Yue, the Great Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Great Liao, and the Great Song Dynasty has already dispatched troops to prepare to recover Wu Yue, who knows that Qian Yue, the king of Wu Yue, is not angry that he has worked hard to serve the Central Plains for so long but in exchange for such a result, and immediately sent the prince to borrow troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty as a hostage.
At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was still using troops against the Southern Han Dynasty, and Li Congshan immediately convened a pre-imperial meeting to discuss, and the cabinet had different opinions, but the Ministry of National Defense unanimously agreed from top to bottom to immediately send troops to resist the Song Dynasty and aid Vietnam. Li Congshan, in line with the principle of never allowing the enemy to gain benefits, immediately dispatched 30,000 people, selected Xue Dingfang as the marshal to aid Vietnam, and dispatched Liao Tianyu, the head of the Shenwei Army, Wang Hui, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Zhandi, Li Xiong, the new commander of Chaozhou, and Ling Hutuo, the deputy commander of the Tianxing Army, to go to the aid together.
The Great Song Xiao generals Wang Quanbin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei and the Southern Tang Dynasty striker Li Xiong fought a big battle in Jiangyin, the Song army lost troops, thousands of dead and wounded, and even Pan Mei was almost captured. Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard the report, and immediately discussed with Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, and increased his troops by 50,000 and vowed to take Wu Yue. The 20,000 Southern Tang Navy troops successively went east to reinforce, and within two months, they successively passed through the Dongjiang Pavilion Battle, the Xiaodongshan Water Battle, and the Wangjiang Pavilion Ambush Battle, killing more than 10,000 Song troops.
The Song army immediately chose to withdraw when the situation was not good, Wu Yue was temporarily safe, and the Tang army had not completely digested the vast land of the Southern Han Dynasty, so it chose to withdraw after collecting a large military fee. The two sides returned to the original confrontation situation, and it was rumored that Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, did not complete the task of opening up the territory, and fell seriously ill in a fit of anger, which led to the rumored Zhao Kuangyin in history to burn himself with wormwood to heal his brother's wounds.
However, after learning what Xiao Han did to divide the forces of the rivers and lakes, Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, was still very happy, and the two discussed this matter secretly, but they didn't expect Xiao Han to do it. In time, the rivers and lakes will return to peace and stability, and it can be regarded as a vast blessing.
Li Congshan is naturally very happy, whether the gangs in the rivers and lakes are black or white, they are an unstable factor for their official yamen after all, and Xiao Hanbing disintegrated most of them without blood, which is also a merit for the country and the people.
The personnel of the Southern Tang Dynasty Qianlong are still helping Xiao Han collect news, Shi Chuyang and the Tang Sect have no news, they don't know where to hide, and even the mysterious White Lotus Sect seems to have disappeared suddenly, and there is a rare tranquility on the rivers and lakes for the time being. After a long time, Xiao Han learned that it was the royal wedding of the Liao Kingdom, and the White Lotus Sect Leader temporarily recalled all the people, giving Xiao Han a rare opportunity.
In fact, he was not in a hurry to find Meng Baixing and the three of them, but the Qianlong personnel came with news that Meng Baixing had been in secret contact with Quan Zhenbang, and looking at the situation, it seemed that Li Yu was planning a meeting with Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin. This made Xiao Han a little worried, so he didn't wait for the end of the year to set off to get people.
At this time, it was the twelfth day of the first month of 965 AD, and the Southern Tang Dynasty planned to hold a marriage for the princess Li Yueying on February 16, and Wudang was thousands of miles away from Tokyo. Xiao Han wrote a personal letter to Li Congshan last night to explain the situation, and I believe that he will definitely postpone the event with major events as the priority, after all, Li Congjia, that is, Li Yu, is also a big problem for him if he is not arrested.
Everyone rushed to Tokyo for eight days in a row, Xiao Han was afraid of startling the snake, so he immediately rushed to the sock alley in four ways, and quietly checked into a nearby inn under the greeting of the Qianlong personnel.
Qianlong was in charge of keeping an eye on a fruit vendor, and he had already drawn a drawing of Meng Baixing's residence and handed it to Xiao Han. After Xiao Han thanked him, the vendor went back to do business, and Xiao Han immediately gathered everyone to arrange a plan to take people.
Everyone in Tokyo City has come more than once, and they are very familiar with each other, but this time they are not as nervous as before, although they are dealing with just a eunuch, Xiao Han is still very serious, which makes everyone a little disapproving.
Li Yueying volunteered to go to persuade Li Yu to return to obedience, Xiao Han could hardly let her get into danger, although she knew that Meng Baixing had been good to her before, she didn't dare to take this risk. Besides, this has already involved the struggle between the Song and Tang Dynasties, if Li Yueying rashly comes forward and lets Li Yu take him hostage, it will be over.
Everyone has always been the only one to look forward, Xiao Han is also accustomed to commanding, and immediately pointed out Sunan Xing, Gu Zhonghe, Gongsun Junzheng, Jueyuan, Mei Yuqin, Gui Yulin and his seven people to get people, Luo Beihong, Jiangdong Ge, Duan Xiliu, Wang Junkuo, Shaolin Six Monks, Tu Yuxuan, Lou Yutong, Li Yueying are responsible for the second layer of defense, Murong Qiuyu and Lin Junshen each took a letter and sent it to the palace Chai Xinyue and Jin King Zhao Guangyi respectively, Sun Xuehui stayed at the inn.
After receiving the order, everyone went back to the house to prepare, and seeing that it was getting late, they all changed into night clothes, covered their faces with black scarves, and listened to his arrangement again in Xiao Han's house. Stayed until the middle of the moon, the drum of the third watch sounded, and Xiao Han's eyes flashed: "Go." Everyone rushed out of the window of his house and quietly pounced on the place where Li Yu was stinging in Sock Alley.
Luo Beihong and the others, who were in charge of the encirclement, followed one after another, and Murong Qiuyu and Lin Junshen had already left to deliver the letter before the meal.
Xiao Han took six people to touch the alley, it was the twenty-second day of the first month, the cold wind was fierce outside, and there was no sound in the alley, and the seven people rushed into it like ghosts, jumped over a low wall and jumped up a small courtyard.
In the dark, Xiao Han lightly pointed, Jueyuan, Gongsun Junzheng, Mei Yuqin, and Gui Yulin nodded slightly, and the four of them jumped to the roof on both sides, instantly surrounding the entire house. Xiao Han waved his hand again, Sunan Xing and Gu Zhonghe understood, and the two of them rushed to the window left and right, hiding under several plum trees.
So far, everything is going well, Xiao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, jumped to the door of the main house on tiptoe, and was just about to kick over, when he suddenly heard a soft "click" in the house, followed by the candlelight, and a long sigh was transmitted outside through the window paper, which made people feel indescribably sad and sad.
Everyone had already received Xiao Han's strict order, but they were still stinging and not moving, Xiao Han's heart moved slightly, the right foot that had been stretched out quietly turned back, leaned forward with his body, and his left face quietly pasted towards the door of the house, and he actually peeked inside.
In the dark, Sunan Xing rolled her eyes, and wanted to kick forward into the house one step at a time, but she was afraid of embarrassing Xiao Han, so she had to endure the unhappiness in her heart, and held the long sword with hatred.
Xiao Han saw a young man in the room sitting gloomily next to the candle flame, playing with a jade pendant in his hand, and a faint green light was placed under the lamp, reflecting the indescribable weirdness and horror on the man's face.
The man's face was vicissitudes, but his appearance was quite delicate, and after playing for a while, he suddenly sighed: "Is Gonggong Meng asleep?" An old man's voice suddenly came from a room on the left: "Son, rest early, things have taken a turn for the better, and I can't rush for a while." ”
The man replied softly: "It's cold, and you're caught with the wind chill again, which really worries me." The old man continued: "The old slave is also old, his body is weak, and it is also the warm air in the south and the cold weather in the north, so he has this disease when he is unwell, and he will be fine in two days, so don't worry about it." ”
The man replied, "Rest in peace, I'll read the book for a while." The old man agreed, and there was no movement. The young man stared at the candle flame for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Qiang'er, are you okay?"
Xiao Han's heart softened, and he felt sour in his heart inexplicably, and a sense of sympathy and sentimentality instantly swelled up for the people in the room. The Qiang in his mouth is Li Yu's wife Zhou Ehuang, whose real name is Qiang, but the world name Ehuang is her nickname.
Li Yu ended up like this, to put it bluntly, it was all due to Xiao Han, he wanted to change history on a whim and help Li Congshan to come to power, but he forced a great poet to such a point, which is really pitiful and lamentable.
Li Congshan put him under house arrest in the palace, although he used it well, he could no longer enjoy the luxurious life he used to have, and it was estimated that he was quite aggrieved in his heart, so he would make this decision after Meng Baixing rescued him, which also shows that he hated Li Congshan to the bone, and he couldn't even care about driving the wolf at the front door and entering the tiger at the back door.
After Li Yu was imprisoned, Xiao Han also talked to Li Congshan about this matter, focusing on Xiao Han's understanding of Li Yu in later generations, and always thought that he was a waste, as long as he was given some food and drink to keep him alive, it didn't matter if those words that were moaning without illness could still be written. Who knows that he still underestimates Li Yu's thoughts, and when people fall into the trough, they will hollow out their thoughts on how to make a comeback, and Li Yu is naturally no exception.
Xiao Han did not regret the choice he made, the weak sympathy in his heart gradually disappeared, the murderous heart rose again, the cold light flashed in his eyes and he was just about to kick in the door, when he suddenly heard a long sigh in the room, and a rather magnetic voice slowly chanted: "The rain is murmuring outside the curtain, and the spring is beautiful." Luo Ji is not tolerant of the five colds. In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy. Alone without relying on the column, infinite rivers and mountains, it is easy to see when it is difficult to see. Flowing water and flowers go in spring, heaven and earth. ”
Xiao Han's body stiffened, he was stunned again, and he was thinking carefully about the song "Waves and Sands", and felt that the time for this song to appear seemed to be in advance, and suddenly a figure flashed, and a black shadow kicked open the door of the house and broke in.
