Chapter 244: Suspicion

"Fifth brother, you have come into contact with the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you have to be careful when you go back this time, that Shen Zhongyuan is very difficult to deal with. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"They shouldn't have noticed our affairs, I heard that Li Qing was not in Nantang, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take risks. ”

"Where is he fighting?"

"Tianzhu!" Bai Yutang said with a smile: "He has accumulated a lot of power over the years, this time he mobilized 200,000 horses to attack Tianzhu Kingdom, the generalissimo is Lei Ying, if you want to leave, now is a good opportunity!"

Hua Chong ate a piece of pineapple and said to Bai Yutang: "This thing is very difficult for us to eat in the Central Plains, there are a lot of them here." ”

Bai Yutang said angrily: "You really want to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"At least for now, Rima is pregnant, she can't bump, and Feiyan and my father-in-law love it too, so after we leave, we're all wanted!

"Let's go to the Xixia Palace, can't we enter the palace of the Great Song Dynasty? Let's enter the palace at night, force the emperor to make an order, and then kill him to avenge you!"

Hua Chong smiled: "Forget it, why are you still so rash, if there is no high heaven in Western Xia, we will die." In the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty, who can save our lives? Moreover, as soon as the emperor dies, the Southern Tang Dynasty may not take advantage of the situation, if the world becomes the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I am a wanted criminal, can we still assassinate Li Qing again? Why bother?"

Bai Yutang Huo Ran got up and said, "Do you want me to watch you trapped on this isolated island?"

"It's not that I'm trapped, it's just that I'm living in peace, the fifth brother's family has a sea boat, this time I go back, bring me some poultry and livestock, I'll do it, why can't I come to a peaceful and happy land?

"Alas, if you really don't want to go, I won't force you, I'll contact them when I go back, and I'll come back to see you. ”

"Okay, I miss you brothers too, but you can't just leave, at least you have to stay for two days to experience the feeling of this overseas emperor. ”

Bai Yutang knew that he couldn't convince him, so he didn't go any further, and chatted with him about the Central Plains and the situation in Wulin, and Hua Chong ordered someone to arrange a seafood feast to entertain Bai Yutang. The next day, the two were on the beach blowing the sea breeze, drinking coconut water, and eating fruits for a day. Even Bai Yutang began to feel that it made sense that Hua Chong would not be in the Central Plains, and this place was really suitable for recuperation.

Early the next morning, Bai Yutang got up to say goodbye and returned to the Central Plains with his fleet. Hua Chong returned to the daily life of a soil emperor......

Two months later, a fleet of more than a dozen sea ships sailed in, and this time Hua Chong did not arrange any defenses, knowing that his brothers were coming. What surprised him was that the person who came down from this fleet was not Bai Yutang, but Shen Zhongyuan!

There were 10 seagoing ships and several thousand men and horses! Shen Zhongyuan, An Guangquan, and others led the team! Hua Chong regretted his carelessness, but it was too late to regret it, and a large number of men and horses rushed onto the beach and soon surrounded the entire island. As soon as the indigenous soldiers were killed, a large number of strong bows and crossbows were put down, and the stone axes and javelins were in stark contrast to the strong bows and hard crossbows of the Southern Tang soldiers, and the natives who were hastily deployed were quickly harvested by the well-trained Southern Tang soldiers and horses!

Nearly 1,000 natives were wiped out in less than half an hour, and even most of Pang Ji's men and horses were killed in battle, Pang Ji and his two sons gathered the few remaining remnants of the army and retreated to the castle. Thousands of Southern Tang men besieged the castle, but did not attack, Shen Zhongyuan came to the front of everyone and shouted towards the castle: "Hua Chong, come out, don't resist anymore, come out and talk, maybe you still have your life." ”

"Open the door!" Hua Chong packed up, sword in hand, and prepared to go out.

Pang Feiyan leaned sideways and said, "No, they just want to kill you, you can't go out!"

Hua Chong smiled sadly and said: "Feiyan, can't I die if I don't go out? The whole island is theirs, how long can this castle be guarded? It's just a matter of dying a little early, dying a little late, I want to be a ghost before I die, let me go out." ”

Pang Ji also said in a deep voice: "Feiyan, you dodge, let him out, maybe there is relief, what they want is Hua Chong, but not necessarily a dead person!"

Hua Chong turned back to Pang Ji and said, "They are so suspicious, why should I protect him?"

The gate of the castle opened, Hua Chong walked out of the castle alone, came to Shen Zhongyuan, and said to Shen Zhongyuan: "Why do you regret it?"

"Because Bai Yutang has already found this place. ”

"Are you afraid that I will return to the Central Plains?"

"With your martial arts, the palace is your backyard, and you can enter and exit freely, I want such a person, and Zhao Zhen also wants to get it. Zhao Zhen hopes that you can kill me, and I also hope that you can kill Zhao Zhen. I was too merciful before, and since I can't use it, I shouldn't keep you!"

Hua Chong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he exclaimed, "You are Li Qing!"

Shen Zhongyuan sneered: "Didn't you want to know about this a long time ago? For a dying person, I will send one last mercy and let you be a ghost." ”

"You are actually the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and you still dare to enter the Central Plains and enter the Imperial City Division?" Hua Chong found it hard to believe that this was true, it was too risky to do so, Shen Zhongyuan had always been calm, but he didn't expect him to be taking such a big risk all the time.

"You are wrong," Shen Zhongyuan said: "Actually, I have always been Shen Zhongyuan, and then I am Li Qing!"

"What do you mean?"

"After the death of Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he had a child, he was afraid of being discovered by the Song soldiers, and he was always sent to the farmhouse by Cheng Feihu and Qin Ying, the widows of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was far to the northwest, not in the south of the Yangtze River. They have been accumulating strength in Nanyang, trying to make a comeback, until many years later, when they have a certain strength, they went to the northwest to find the queen of Li Tang. And at this time, Empress Li's son has passed away, and his grandson is already a member of the Imperial City Division, that is, I, Shen Zhongyuan!"

"Then why have you been secretly helping me, the King of Xiangyang rebelled, isn't it a great opportunity for you to want?"

Shen Zhongyuan shook his head and said: "Of course not, the power of the King of Xiangyang is very large, in addition to contacting the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are also Western Xia, Liao, and many Green Forest people, once such a force succeeds, the entire Central Plains will fall into war." Even if we take advantage of the chaos to get the Central Plains, we are faced with a ruined country, just to reorganize the rivers and mountains, I am afraid that it will take decades, and how many decades of life are there? So I have taken a fancy to you, I want you to help me suppress the power of the King of Xiangyang, reduce the scale of the war to a minimum, and then my Southern Tang Dynasty can suddenly rise up, rapidly expand the territory, and get the maximum benefits. ”

Hua Chong sighed: "After all, I'm just a chess piece, why are you so reluctant to let me go?"

"Because every chess piece must be used in the most important place, otherwise, this chess piece may hinder your own situation, and you are the one who may hinder me!, so you must die!"
