Zhao Yu naturally wouldn't ignore Zhao Min, but wanted to see how serious the situation was.

Yangzhou City is a thoroughfare, extremely prosperous, and wants to completely block it, only relying on Yang Wan's tens of thousands of horses, but he still has no strength.

After Zhao Yu rushed out of the manor, he first went straight to a few city gates in the north city, only to see the city gate open, and there were thousands of people lined up in front of the city gate. In the gap between the military formation and the city gate for more than ten zhang, hundreds of knights and soldiers rushed back and forth to drive away the panicked pedestrians. As for the few canals that run through the city, soldiers are sinking barbed barbed iron nets into the water, but there is no chance to take advantage of them.

Taking advantage of the turmoil in front of the city gate, Zhao Yu rushed up to the city tower and looked into the distance, and could vaguely see the big tent of the Chinese army of Yang Wanzhi a few miles away. The Miao soldiers, who were already known for their bravery, were guarded under the banner of the Chinese army in full armor, and among them was Yang Wanzhi, who was wearing bright silver armor. Although the distance was too far, Zhao Yu couldn't see Yang Wanzhi's face clearly, but he could feel the eagle-like cruel gaze and the monstrous killing intent that was ready to choose someone to devour at any time.

Those who are fierce and tyrannical are the most desperate for their lives. Just looking at Yang Wanzhi's posture, it can be seen that this assassination has violated his rebellion, so he did not hesitate to turn to his people with swords and soldiers to surround Yangzhou and other important cities of the Yuan court. The front of the city gate was stained with blood, and there were still the corpses of those who died tragically before they could be collected, which was shocking. It can be seen that Yang Wanzhi is not pretending to intimidate, but really dares to wave a butcher's knife at Yangzhou City. Such an unruly and illegal act, in addition to Yang Wanzhi himself has always been unruly, also shows that the power behind him is huge enough to shield him for blatantly violating national law.

With such an arrangement, even if a person like Wei Yixiao wants to break out of the city in front of everyone, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Zhao Yu watched the city for a while, then gave up his plan to venture out of the city and turned back to the city.

At this time, there were already two or three thousand Miao troops who rushed into the city from several roads, and they merged into this big city of tens of thousands of households, although it was not conspicuous, the shock caused was extremely amazing. At this time, the streets and alleys were full of people fleeing in a hurry, fearing the Miao soldiers like snakes and scorpions.

The Miao soldiers who entered the city were divided into a dozen people, holding a portrait of Zhao Min in their hands, and even Kutoutuo and others. However, their focus was not to investigate and find people, nearly half of them rushed into the shops along the street, first smashed and looted, and then picked up the shopkeeper who was hiding in the corner and asked if they had seen Zhao Min and others.

In addition to robbing shops, there were not a few Miao soldiers on the street, each occupying the main road, specifically stopping the well-dressed and nobles for interrogation, and their intentions were self-evident. There is no shortage of dignitaries and nobles in Yangzhou City, and occasionally a few people will scold a few words with their family background, and they will usher in an old fist, and even draw swords against each other, and the scene of blood spilling on the street abounds.

In such a chaotic scene, the Yangzhou government, which has the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, naturally cannot sit idly by. When Zhao Yu walked through the streets of the city, he saw the Yangzhou prefect in his official uniform and a sad face, hurrying out of the city under the escort of the yacha, as if he wanted to reason with Yang Wanzhi. However, most of this experience is in vain, not to mention Yang Wanzhi, even these ordinary soldiers under him turn a blind eye to the prefect who passed by him, and they also turned a deaf ear to his scolding.

Zhao Yu has always only heard the name of Yang Wanzhi, and today he finally saw specific deeds. Yang Wanzhi this person Miao Tong raised troops for chaos, and later surrendered by the Yuan court, spared no effort to exterminate the righteous army, first killed the Red Turban Army between Huguang and Guangzhou, because of his brave and repeated meritorious contributions, he was transferred north between Jiangsu and Zhejiang. So far, it is still spread in the name of its wreaking havoc between Huguang and Guangzhou, and its army will surely plunder every city of grams, and the place it passes is more like locusts crossing the border, and the chickens and dogs are restless!

Looking at this situation, it is difficult to calm down the chaos in Yangzhou City in the short term. Moreover, Miao Jun has a style of killing mistakes and not letting go, and it is extremely difficult for Zhao Min and his party to get through this misfortune safely.

Zhao Yu was bound to not be able to sit idly by and ignore this, but he also couldn't implicate the people in the secret camp of the Five Elements Banner in the city because of this, so he dealt with Wei Yixiao first. After clarifying the current situation, he returned to the manor.

When approaching the gate of the manor, Zhao Yu saw that Kutoutuo was leaving quickly from another direction, but he was sent out by Zhao Min to investigate the news, and he didn't care, until he stepped into the manor, only to find that the building had already been empty! He was greatly surprised, wandered in the manor for several weeks, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of fire oil in a corner, and carefully observed and searched on the left, only to find a dark room under the stairs.

The exit of the dark room was blocked by a potted plant, but the delicate mechanism was buckled from the inside, Zhao Yu gently pushed but did not push it open, so he simply used the dark energy to break the mechanism, and directly opened the heavy iron cover with palm suction.

Yu Fangyuan, the abbot of the dark room, placed a wooden couch, and Zhao Min was wearing a plain white robe and was sitting upright. Beside her were two kegs filled with oil, as well as two fire breaks.

Zhao Minhua's face was slightly bleak, sitting in this dark room, suddenly the light came, his eyes flickered, he covered his forehead with his hand, and saw which person was coming in a trance. The corners of her mouth were deflated, but she opened her mouth but said coldly: "What are you doing when you come back?" I don't plan to go out, even if you see a joke, it's not very interesting. ”

Zhao Yu walked into the dark room, sat side by side with Zhao Min on the wooden couch, swept the two barrels of fire oil into the corner, and sighed: "You also know that your life is slim, I mustered up the courage to rush back, but I am treating you with my own life." The two of us are sitting here, and neither of us can survive alone in this mess. Can't you be polite to me?"

Zhao Min put the cold soft water on Zhao Yu's lap, twisted him hard, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and said coquettishly: "You came late, my heart has already died, and this time I will wait for death with you, but there is less taste." ”

Zhao Yu held her soft hand in his hand with his backhand, and said with a smile: "You are a noble county lord Chitose, you are in and out of the front and back, but you are very rarely able to get into danger. I, an infatuated boy, have to wait for a chance to go to Huangquan with you, but it is very difficult. Even if there are some shortcomings, it will be a little bit more so. ”

When Zhao Min heard this, he couldn't help laughing, leaned towards Zhao Yu on his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "It's not good to teach you to accompany me to be a fool, and I'll talk to you about these things." The one who betrayed me this time was my father's concubine, whose name was Han Ji. This woman is very good at disguise, and when I first entered the palace, I was a little suspicious of her, but after a long time together, and my father's preference for her, some of my suspicions faded. This time, I relied on her to inquire about the situation of Yang Wanzhi's concubine, and believed her once, but I didn't expect to plant such a big heel. ”

Zhao Yu bowed slightly, and asked again: "The one who wants to get rid of your father is your Emperor Majesty?"

"Why do you ask?" Zhao Min said in surprise.

Zhao Yu recounted all the things he had just seen outside the manor, and said: "If Yang Wanzhi does not have an extremely tough backstage, no matter how arrogant and domineering he is, he may not dare to poison Yangzhou City like this." ”

After Zhao Min heard this, there was a faint anger on his face, and after all, he sighed helplessly and said: "Although Your Majesty has been a little slack in political affairs over the years, he has not been confused to this point. The one Yang Wanzhi really relies on is the crown prince! The master of the mysterious organization you mentioned is also the crown prince! He is still the one who wants to get rid of my father!"

Although he had already expected something in his heart, Zhao Yu was still shocked when he heard Zhao Min say it himself. If it weren't for this trip to Yangzhou, he wouldn't have guessed that the Heavenly Demon Sect, which was not chaotic in the world, would be the crown prince of the Yuan Court!

After being silent for a while, Zhao Yu frowned and said: "Something is wrong, your crown prince did not get the throne until the thirteenth year of Zheng, even if he started to run the rivers and lakes before." However, as far as I know, this Heavenly Demon Sect began to cause trouble decades ago. ”

"Heavenly Demon Sect?"

When Zhao Min heard this, he was slightly stunned before he said: "It turns out that the Hulun secret guard has such a majestic title, but this is also a matter of course. The emperor and the crown prince both like that kind of shameless things, so it is common to use this 'heavenly demon' as a name. ”

The corners of her mouth pursed disdainfully, and she said: "Maybe there is retribution in the underworld, my Dayuan rose with martial arts, swept the Eight Desolations, although it is powerful and difficult to do, but the previous emperors rarely died well, not to mention Emperor Xianzong, who died in the chaotic army during the Southern Expedition, and then Yuzong, Shunzong, Yingzong, etc., were either riddled with illness or assassinated. In view of this, Emperor Mingzong summoned the brave warriors of the clan, granted secret martial arts, and formed the Hulun secret guard, one to defend the emperor, and the other to supervise the world. Therefore, for several generations, the Hulun secret guard was in charge of the emperor or the crown prince, and it was the most loyal guard of the royal family. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, Fang understood a little, and he also had a little understanding of the Hulun secret guard who had been renamed the Heavenly Demon Sect. He was born in a scholarly family, so he is naturally no stranger to the history of this dynasty. It seems that it is the reason for the unruliness of foreign people, or other reasons, there are few peaceful changes in the inheritance of the imperial throne of the Yuan Dynasty, although there are literati of this dynasty in the Spring and Autumn period penmanship and French are decorated, but there is not even a beautiful skin, full of bloody taste.

The Emperor Xianzong mentioned in Zhao Min's mouth is Meng Ke Khan, who was killed by Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, in the Battle of Xiangyang a hundred years ago. Emperor Mingzong and Shiyun, who formed the Hulun Secret Guard, were poisoned to death by their brother Emperor Wenzong Tutimur. When I want to talk about this, I feel a little happy. At that time, the Yuan court was in turmoil due to the struggle for the throne, and Yan Temur, a powerful minister who stayed in the capital, originally wanted to support Mingzong and Shiling, but because He Shiling lived far away in Helin at that time, and then chose to support Wenzong Tutimur, who lived in Jiangling.

Later, after defeating the court of Emperor Tianshun in Shangdu, this pair of monarchs and ministers felt that it was difficult to convince the world that they were abolishing Chang Liyu, so they went north to establish and establish Lin Yongli and Shiyong as emperors. Unbeknownst to the halfway point, Emperor Wenzong felt remorseful, and always felt that the throne was handed over to make people lose a little to themselves, so that they could poison his brother and Shiju at the banquet and reinstate himself as the emperor.

Emperor Mingzong had a miserable life, he was the eldest son of Emperor Wuzong, but he was cut in line by his uncle Emperor Renzong because he was too young when his father died. When Emperor Renzong ascended the throne, he had an agreement with Wuzong, and after his death, he would pass the throne to the son of Wuzong, but after he ascended the throne, he broke the contract and sent all the sons of Wuzong to a remote place, and Shiling, as the eldest son of Wuzong, was sent to Yunnan. He formed this Hulun secret guard, and he did not have any intention of plotting for the throne.

After the death of Emperor Renzong, the ministers were infighting, and one faction chose to support the son of Renzong, while the other faction wanted to establish the son of Wuzong. He Shiyong finally managed to see the moon and was about to ascend to the throne, but he lost to his brother because of the bloody reason of the long distance. finally looked forward to the brother's conscience to find out that he gave up the throne to himself, and not long after he became the emperor, he was poisoned without even seeing the head of the capital.

The current emperor Tuhuan Timur has a similar background to his Laozi Emperor Mingzong, he is the eldest son of He Shiling, and he also has the opportunity to inherit the throne, but he was poisoned by his uncle and his father cut the line. After Emperor Wenzong ascended the throne, he learned from the sages and drove several of his nephews out of the capital. As the eldest son of Heshiyong, Tuhuan Timur was treated very favorably and was directly expelled to Pyongyang, Goryeo, and later deported to Jingyuan, Guangxi because of his good relationship with the local clans of Goryeo.

Fortunately, Emperor Wenzong still had some conscience, and when he was dying, his conscience found that he wanted to pass the throne to the son of his brother who was poisoned by himself. At that time, Tuhuan Timur lived far away in Guangxi, and his younger brother Yi Xuan Zhiban lived in Dadu, and succeeded to the throne because he was close to the water. In this way, the pair of suffering fathers and sons, Shi Ling and Tuhuan Timur, are ordinary reasons for blood, and they pass by the throne.

However, Tuhuan Timur was far luckier than his father and Shi Ling, and fortunately, in addition to receiving the lessons that his father had exchanged for his life, he also inherited the secret guard of Hulun passed down from his father. Yi Xuan was only seven years old when he ascended the throne, and the regent was the empress of Emperor Wenzong, which was a very harmonious situation. However, less than two months after the little emperor ascended the throne, he died in vain, and then the long-awaited Tuhuan Timur finally ascended to the throne.

In this way, when the son can ascend to the throne today, it may not have nothing to do with the mysterious Hulun secret guard. Perhaps he understood the lesson that his father had exchanged for his life, and he took the first step to poison his little brother, so as not to follow in his father's footsteps.

And the time when Tuhuan Timur plotted for the throne, now calculated, is very consistent with the time when Yang Qingdi said that the dragon slaying knife appeared on the rivers and lakes. In particular, this sword first appeared in Liaodong, and at that time Tuhuan Timurcha was exiled to Goryeo!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty the Emperor is also smart. ”

"That's nature!"

Zhao Min nodded and said: "Your Majesty is extremely smart, but now he is blinded by the villain, and he has lost his way for a while. Among you Han people, there is also the truth that King Qi Wei is not a hit, and he is a blockbuster. As long as Your Majesty regains your strengths, you clowns are nothing!"

"You're going to be wrong about what I mean, I mean he only watched it once, and then he learned his own experience and poisoned his brother first. Zhao Yu waved his hand and smiled.

"How can you ...... such words without a king and a father" Zhao Min raised his eyebrows, but sighed suddenly, and said: "I forgot, you are a big thief!"

Zhao Yu frowned again and said, "I think that your Emperor Majesty can regain the throne thanks to the secret guard of Nahulun." Why was such a sharp weapon handed over to the prince so early on?"

When Zhao Min heard this question, his expression darkened a little, and he sighed: "This is where the turmoil in the court is now. ”

"Your Majesty is young and unhappy, and he is able to perform his duties to the extreme, thanks to the merits of the Goryeo Qi clan. Yes, you may not know the name of the Goryeo clan. This family is extremely prosperous in Goryeo, not only single-handedly controlling the government of Goryeo, but also deciding the affairs of the rivers and lakes. After His Majesty ascended the throne, he wanted the daughter of the Li Qi clan to be the queen. I am a dignified Mongolian Yuan, how can I use a woman of a different race to honor the world! Therefore, at that time, my grandfather and other elders of the clan fought hard and finally let this matter be stopped. ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, he smiled and said: "You are all aliens, but you have a lot of plans at this time. ”

Zhao Min glanced at him and continued: "Although the Qi family did not become the queen as he wished, this girl is so charming that Her Majesty can't help herself, and she gave birth to the eldest son for Your Majesty, and her momentum is becoming more and more uncontrollable. Later, this woman made a statement to His Majesty, saying that there were always people in the palace who wanted to murder her, and His Majesty loved his wife, so he allocated the Hulun secret guard of the emperor's personal guard to the Qi family. Therefore, since then, this Hulun secret guard has been in charge of the eunuch Pu Buhua, who is close to the Qi family, and the prince will naturally be under his command when he becomes an adult. ”

"Pu Buhua, who is this?" Zhao Yu asked.

A hint of disgust flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, and he said: "I am also a Goryeo person, I have some skills, it is said that what is the Elder Taishang of the Goryeo Qinglong Sect, who has a bad mind and teaches the prince to be like this." ”

After Zhao Yu listened, he pondered for a moment before he said: "Needless to say, your father must have strongly opposed the emperor's canonization of the current crown prince, so when the crown prince was canonized a few years ago, your father was stripped of his military power. ”

Zhao Min nodded and said, "That's the case, the prince now regards my Ruyang Mansion as an enemy, and even more so to my father." If it weren't for the fact that the current state affairs have not been settled, I am afraid that my father will not be able to live in his throne in peace. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu could already be sure that the assassination he had suffered before must have been the handiwork of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Needless to say, the strange martial arts, just looking at Zhao Min, he knew that he had learned martial arts from the masters of the six factions, coupled with the old things of the Ming Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, it can be seen that there must be many extinct martial arts in this Heavenly Demon Sect. As for the secret legend of Miao Jiang that person Gu poisoned, it should have been collected when he was exiled to Guangxi today.

Thinking about it like this, he felt that the Heavenly Demon Sect was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. Martial arts masters are still second, after all, even if they have martial arts cheats in hand, everyone's talent is different, and they may not be able to practice to become peerless masters. On the contrary, it is those mysterious and inexplicable methods that are really overwhelming.

After Zhao Min finished speaking, he sighed and said softly to Zhao Yu: "I have explained to you the whole story of this matter. Let's go to Huangquan together, you don't have to be a fool after all. It's just a pity for your sisters and sisters, they lost their love, but I can't stand them. If there is really a Yellow Spring in the underworld, if one day they come to look for you, at most I will no longer care about so many warblers and swallows around you. ”

Zhao Yu looked at Zhao Min's cowardly appearance, but he was quite touched in his heart, this girl in front of him, regardless of whether she was a child or after the reunion, she was all unpretentious, but she rarely had such a soft voice now. He stared at Zhao Min and said, "Minmin, how good it would be if you always treated me like this." ”rs(.. )
