Chapter 42: Heading South
The mighty convoy stopped at the gate of the city, and the envoy team who came to see off the return of the Southern Tang Dynasty was still Zhao Guangyi. He walked up to Li Congshan, said a few official words, and left.
Xiao Zuo has been sullen, and the arrival of the Mu Chu brothers and sisters, as well as Yin Ajian, who was wanted by the entire Song Kingdom, made him very worried. The three of them are in danger every day in Tokyo, but there is still Lin Renzhao's affairs waiting for him to deal with in Jinling, so he has no choice but to leave.
As he walked to the gate of the city and was about to step out of Tokyo, he glanced back at the Imperial Palace in the distance again. Big brother, don't do that shocking thing anymore, the palace is not an inn, it's not a place where you can go if you want to, and you can go when you want.
"Girl, you're not going to go out to see him for the last time. ”
Looking at the back of Xiao Zuo who was about to leave, Mu Chu, who was standing not far away, asked.
"It's gone, what's there to see. ”
Mu Chu held his breath in his heart, but he pretended to be very calm and said.
"Then don't regret it. ”
"What is there to regret. ”
Mu Chu glared at Qin Luoli, since everything was clear, he was not the kind of woman who was stalking and unrelenting at night, so why would he go out to meet an impossible person to add trouble to himself.
After finding the eldest brother, he went back to Momoyama and never came down again.
"Fall away. ”
At this moment, a broad palm rested on Qin Luoli's body. Qin Luoli looked at the owner of the hand suspiciously, only to see a man wearing a top covering his entire face standing beside him.
Qin Luo looked at the man in surprise and said, "Are you?"
"It's me, Fallaway. The man moved his hat, revealing half of his face, and it was Yin Aqiang.
"Senior brother, I finally found you. Qin Luoli said excitedly.
"Big brother, we're worried about you killing us, let's hurry back to Momoyama. Mu Chu saw that it was Yin Aqiang, and the heart that had been hanging for many days finally let go.
He was afraid that his eldest brother would do something that disregarded his own safety, so he immediately asked to return to Momoyama.
"No, I can't. Yin Ah pulled down the hat and said in a deep voice.
"Senior brother," Qin Luoli suddenly became anxious when he heard that Yin Ajian refused to go back with them, "You are very dangerous now, there are portraits of you being arrested posted everywhere, do you even want to break into the palace regardless of your own safety?"
"Yes, big brother, the love in the world is not as good as it should be, everyone has the right to choose, or there is no you in her heart, so she doesn't want you to save her. ”
Mu Chu's words were ostensibly for Yin Ah to listen to, but in fact, he didn't remind himself again.
If you can't get it, you don't have to die, because in exchange for this will only be deeper damage. It's one thing to just know, it's another to do it.
At this time, Mu Chu, how could she be so free, she could only follow Yin A's hard matter to convince her unfirm heart at that moment.
"Listen to me. Yin Ah pondered for a moment and said: "There is a more urgent thing at the moment, my second brother Shui was invisibly taken captive by Jinling Shui Yunjian, and his whereabouts are still unknown, as a righteous brother, I have the responsibility to rescue him." ”
As soon as he heard that Yin Ah didn't want to continue to stupidly fight with the emperor for women, Qin Luoli's tense nerves between the two siblings finally relaxed, but hearing that he meant to go to Jinling?
"Senior brother is going to Jinling?" Qin Luo asked.
"Yes," Yin Ah nodded stiffly and said, "When we find the second brother and rescue him, we will take him back to Taoshan." ”
"I don't want to go. Mu Chu pouted and said. When she went to Jinling, she inevitably met Xiao Zuo, she finally controlled her feelings, and when she went to Jinling at this time, she didn't dare to imagine how much her heart would hurt. What's more, there is also the existence of an oracle of Li there.
"Why?" Yin asked with a brow of brows and puzzled.
Qin Luoli saw that his sister's mood was not right, so he hurriedly pulled Yin A aside, and roughly explained the emotional entanglement between Xiao Zuo and Mu Chu.
After listening to this, Yin Ah hard looked at Mu Chu and said, "Mu Chu, I know that you don't want to see Xiao Zuo again, and this matter has nothing to do with you, but I don't worry about you going back to Taoshan with a girl." ”
Mu Chu saw Yin Agan's embarrassed look, and thought about how he went to Jinling to save people, not to break up people, so he didn't dare to go, so he nodded at Yin Ahard and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
"Shouldn't I go back to Jinling too?"
Looking at the Jinling envoys who were gradually walking away, the corners of Canglong's mouth standing halfway up the mountain hung a trace of bitterness.
Since he promised Xiao Zuo to stay that day, he originally planned to follow Xiao Zuo sincerely, at least Xiao Zuo never regarded him as a dog who came and went when he was called, but a person who was treated equally.
In addition, Xiao Zuo let himself go twice, and this kindness moved him very much. It's just that on that day, Xiao Zuo left with Xiaoxiao, which made Canglong vigilant.
He was not worried that Xiao Zuo would sell him to the Taiping Sect, but he was afraid that his identity would cause Xiao Zuo to kill him, so as soon as the two of them left, he quietly left.
Now that Xiao Zuo can return to Jinling safely, he no longer has to worry about the threat from the Taiping Sect. It's just that he is still hesitant to go back, after all, there is still a stepfather who raised him.
Although he didn't do anything to harm the interests of the Taiping Sect, and he didn't think about taking revenge on Miss for her ruthlessness and injustice, in fact, he didn't respect Miss Miss's orders, and he was already considered to have betrayed the Taiping Sect. He didn't have the face to go back to see Zhou Qiling, afraid that he would go back this time, and that the young lady would be angry with the old man and cause him more trouble.
After all, the current Zhou Qiling is in control of the largest intelligence organization in Jinling, and the people in this organization are only loyal to Zhou Qiling and do not know what Taiping Sect is. Zhou Qiling completely controlled this powerful force, making his status in the Taiping Sect only that of Lan Zishu, and at the same time, Lan Zishu had always been deeply feared.
There has always been a gap between the two most important leaders of the Taiping Sect, which makes them full of suspicion between them. Canglong was worried that Lan Zishu would use his own incident to attack Zhou Qiling.
"Canglong, aren't you going to go back to Jinling?"
On the official road in the distance, two women walked over, one in white and one in Tsing Yi, and it was the woman in Tsing Yi who spoke to Canglong.
"You ......" Canglong looked at the two women in front of him in horror, his heart was full of fear, although he thought he was not afraid of death, but when death was really coming, he still couldn't help but be afraid.
The people who came were Lan Zishu's master and servant. The woman in white was Lan Zishu, and I saw her smile faintly and said, "Canglong, why are you so afraid of me?"
"Little ...... Sister" Canglong didn't dare to look at Lan Zishu's face, lowered his head, and his face was like ashes.
"Alright, Canglong," Lan Zishu stepped forward and said, "From today onwards, you are not an insider of my Taiping Sect, and I will not kill you, but I hope you can go to Jinling with us." ”
Canglong thought quickly in his heart, he didn't understand what Lan Zishu meant. If you don't kill yourself, do you want to use yourself against your father-in-law?
"If Miss wants to use me against her father-in-law, it is better to kill me with a knife. Canglong raised his head and said proudly.
Lan Zishuge smiled, the more he laughed, the colder he became, the more chills in his heart became, "Who do I Lan Zishu have to deal with, I never use an inconsequential little role, let alone an incompetent outcast like you! I let you go, because for the sake of that interesting boy, I want you to go with me, just out of good intentions, you must know that behind us, there are a large number of spies from the Song Kingdom." They're going to find a lone Jinling spy, and if they want to be interested in you, I don't want your innocuous little character to ruin my plans. ”
Lan Zishu's words, Canglong heard the fog. Although he didn't understand what her plan was, he understood that Song Guo had filmed a large number of spies to go to Jinling, but Song Guo had not made such a big move for more than ten years, and what was the purpose of this.
He looked at Lan Zishu hesitantly, hesitating whether to go with her. Although there is a threat from Song Guo's secret agents behind him, the woman in front of him is even more difficult to mess with.
"Canglong, Xiao Zuo hopes that you will go to Jinling with us, or you can go to the post house in front to meet him, as long as you don't fall into the hands of Jinling spies, you must know that this time it is the first master of the Jin King Zhao Guangyi's sword Yin Xiao Rin who led the team to Jinling. Xiao Xiao said lightly.
Canglong knows a lot of secrets between Shuiyunjian and the Taiping Sect, if it falls into Xiao Rin's hands, with Xiao Rin's ability, it is difficult for Lan Zishu to guarantee that Canglong will not tell those secrets. If the King of Jin knows his hole card in Jinling, it will be even more difficult to gain the trust of the King of Jin.
Lan Zishu's plan was actually very simple, to trick the King of Jin into usurping his brother's throne, and then after Zhao Guangyi succeeded, he would use the Taiping Sect to publicize Zhao Guangyi's improper access, thus causing chaos in the Song Kingdom.
As long as the Song Kingdom is in chaos, he will not have the strength to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he will have time to arrange the trump card of Shui Yunjian to play a role.
What she wants to do is very simple, that is, to use Shui Yunjian to completely control the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is best to remove Li Yu from power, and support his even more unpromising son to come to power, and then she can whitewash the entire Taiping Sect and install it in the Jinling Imperial Court, and completely control a country.
This plan has been laid out for many years, but it is still a few steps away from success, although Shui Yunjian is already strong enough, but there is also a prime minister Song Qiqiu in Jinling, as long as this old guy does not fall, it will be difficult for the basket Shu's plan to succeed.
Lan Zishu went to Jinling this time, one was very curious about Xiao Zuo, who had multiple identities, and wanted to know what idea this little guy was up to, which side he was on, and the other thing was to remove the stumbling block of Song Qiqiu.
Looking at Canglong, Lan Zishu could have killed him directly, so he didn't have to worry that he would fall into the hands of Song Guo. It's just that the situation has changed now, and he still has a very important use value.
Xiao Zuo took a fancy to Canglong, and this is the value that Lan Zishu saw from Canglong. Canglong will not be loyal to herself, but he is Zhou Qiling's righteous son, as long as she has this identity, she believes that Canglong can also be used for herself.
What she wants is to push the boat down the river to arrange Canglong to Xiao Zuo's side, and let him play the most effective role after seeing Xiao Zuo's true intentions in this chaotic situation.
