After Zhihua and Hua Chong saw the emperor's secret decree, they set off for Beijing with nervousness and apprehension, and no one else went with them, this time the fact that they wanted to do it was too dangerous, and Hua Chong was unwilling to affect others, especially these brothers who were born and died, and fatherly masters and uncles.

On the Bianhe River, a flat boat, two sailors, and a small boat are swaying on the water, and Hua Chong is drinking with Zhihua in the cabin.

Hua Chong looked at the bustling flow of people on both sides of the Bianhe River, the large and small boats on the Bianhe River were constantly coming and going, picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank it all, turned his head to Zhihua and said, "Brother Zhi, do you think we can leave alive this time?"

"Of course you can!" Zhihua smiled, "This time it's about our lives, do you think I'll joke with my own life?"

"I know you will definitely arrange it, but the emperor is not an ordinary person......"

Zhihua also agrees with this point: "Yes, today's sub-talk on resourcefulness and the way of employing people is not under Li Qing, but we still have an advantage, long live the Lord does not." ”

"What advantages?"

"You have an invincible martial arts in the world, even if the 800,000 forbidden troops attack together, I believe you can kill a bloody way. ”

Hua Chong pouted: "Don't talk about this useless, 800,000 people, stand and let me cut them one by one, I'm also tired to death." ”

"Don't worry, you don't have to cut them one by one, we will definitely be able to swagger out of the palace!"

Hua Chong glanced at him: "I really want to know here, where do you get your confidence?"

"You're in control, and you're relieved. ”

Hua Chong leaned back, lay down in the cabin, stretched his waist relaxedly, and said leisurely: "Lord Imperial City Envoy, don't you think your tone is becoming more and more like Shen Zhongyuan? By the way, you said it when you were in Nanyang, you have an internal response in Nantang, and I don't know who this internal response is until now!"

Zhihua smiled: "What kind of character is Shen Zhongyuan, can I insert it under him?"

Hua Chong sat up suddenly, like a zombie: "What are you talking about?

"This is called stabilizing the morale of the army!" Zhihua drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I didn't say that at the time, don't say that you have no bottom, what about Lord Bao and Lord Deng? Let the two literati worry? Why bother?"

"Do you still have the heart to drink?" Hua Chong said angrily, "If it weren't for Shen Zhongyuan's other plans, we might really have folded to Shenglong City!"

"No, even if Shen Zhongyuan doesn't have this arrangement, we can leave Shenglong smoothly. ”

Hua Zheng suddenly understood: "I understand, since you don't use this internal response, you don't want him to be exposed, even if it's me, I can't know, I won't ask." ”

Zhihua smiled: "I feel like you've suddenly become smarter, no, you're not stupid, you just know how to figure out other people's thoughts." ”

Hua Chong also smiled: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

"Guess what?"

"I don't guess, with this effort, I still want to think about how to tell Guotai when I see her for a while. ”

"You are her savior, she will definitely help you, I heard that last time you were wanted, the Queen Mother personally asked Banzai to explain to her what happened, I guess he knew the plan of Banzai, now that Li Qing is dead, you go to ask the Queen Mother, you will definitely be able to get her help. ”

Hua Chong lay down again and exhaled a long breath: "I hope so." ”

The boat traveled along the river, arrived at Bianliang City, Tokyo, Hua Chong, who had not been here for many years, got off the boat and followed Zhihua into the city, two sailors Shen Mingjie and Shao Huanjie also accompanied him, and three people from the Imperial City Division followed, although the list of wanted Hua Chong was still there, but there was no obstruction along the way.

A few people went straight into the yamen of the Imperial City Division, although the Imperial City envoy was not here most of the time, but there were still rooms that belonged to him, Zhihua and Hua rushed to the house, never mentioned the matter of the face of the saint, ordered people to prepare wine and food, and drank until dark.

The sky gradually darkened, and after the palm lamp, Hua Chong changed into a night walker, said goodbye to Zhihua, and went straight to the palace, he had been to the palace more than once, and he was familiar with the road. Today's Hua Chong's martial arts are not comparable to those of the year, although the guards are strict, but in the dark night, Hua Chong, who is familiar with the terrain, still easily avoided the guards and came to the Yuchen Palace, this palace was originally for the imperial concubine to live, and it was also the place where the Empress Dowager Li, who was still the concubine, lived. Since the Empress Dowager Li returned to the court, Zhao Zhen rearranged the palace and vacated it to the Empress Dowager again as the Empress Dowager's dormitory.

Although it was late, Empress Dowager Li did not fall asleep, but burned incense and chanted scriptures in front of a spiritual seat, constantly knocking on the wooden fish, and behind her, two palace maids were standing and waiting.

Hua Chong sneaked in quietly, came behind the two palace maids without a sound, and with a wave of his hands, the two palace maids fainted to the ground. As soon as the movement came out, the old Guotai Li turned around and saw a man in black standing behind her, and the wooden fish hammer and Buddha beads in her frightened hands fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Hua Chong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sinners Hua Chong, meet the Queen Mother." ”

The Queen Mother panicked: "You... Are you Hua Chong?"

Hua Chong kowtowed three times to the Queen Mother, then raised his head and said, "The Queen Mother, she is really a sinner." ”

The Queen Mother relied on her courage to come closer to see, and when she saw that it was indeed Hua Chong, she was relieved, covered her chest, and said in a trembling voice: "It's really you, God bless you if you don't die." ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother took the spirit card on the table, handed it to Hua Chong and said, "This is the immortal card made for you by the mourning family, and I have to recite the scriptures and pray for you every morning and evening." You are the savior of my mourning family, but my rebellious son disregards the great grace of saving your life, but dismisses you from your official position and arrests the whole country. The angry mourning family went to him to comment, the rebel was scolded by me and didn't dare to say anything, and in the end there was no way, so he told me the truth, he wanted you to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to assassinate Li Qing, this kind of big thing is too dangerous, and the mourning family made this immortal card for you. ”

Hua Chong held the immortal card, and was very moved in his heart, this Empress Dowager Li is really a good person, and she thinks about herself like this. Hua Chong clasped his head again and said: "Sinners Hua Chong, thank you for the Queen Mother's great kindness." ”

"Hurry up," the Queen Mother mixed Hua Chong and said: "If it weren't for you and your two masters, the mourning family wouldn't be alive now, I owe you the rest of my life, you entered the palace late at night, dare it be the matter of the Southern Tang Dynasty that has been solved?"

"Well, thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother, Li Qing of the Southern Tang Dynasty is dead, and now his eight-year-old son succeeds to the throne, I and the Imperial City of the Imperial City Division Zhihua returned to Beijing to restore the decree, because of the guilt, I dare not come during the day, I can only sneak into the palace at night to meet the Queen Mother. ”

"Alas, it's hard for you, for my son's birth and death, and to suffer from this unwarranted disaster, don't worry, since the big thing is done, when you see the driver, the mourning family will also go for you to say, discipline him and reinstate you!"

When Hua Chong heard this, he hurriedly knelt down again, kowtowed and begged: "I still hope that the Queen Mother will take back her life, I still won't do this official, the sinners only want to return to the countryside, and be a kind citizen in the future, with a beautiful wife and children, and no worries about food and clothing, it is enough!"

Empress Dowager Li said strangely: "Could it be that my emperor has nothing to say to me? Why are you so miserable? Seeing you like this, it seems that you are afraid of becoming an official? What happened?"
