Chapter 44: Seeing the Whole Picture
After a while, Huang Shaowen returned to the cellar with two wooden planks and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "The people in the house are all asleep, the king and the queen mother, you can go." ”
He walked to the bottom of the stairs, supported the two planks with his palms, filled the gap he had broken just now, and let the Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun step on it and walked to the top of the stairs.
As soon as I got out of the cellar, I saw that there were already four people standing in the wing room outside, and these four people saw the Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun coming out, three of them knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Minister Murong Longcheng, bring the courtier Murong Qi and the retainer Gongye to welcome the king and the queen mother out of trouble!"
The remaining one also bowed and saluted: "Little nephew Duan Yingsi, I have seen my aunt and brother-in-law, congratulations to my aunt and brother-in-law for getting rid of the cage and soaring into the sky from today!"
At this time, Murong Longcheng and Duan Yingsi and others had already taken off their disguises, and Empress Dowager Zhou had seen him a few times when Duan Yingsi was a teenager, and now that they were seeing each other again, they reminded them of the past, and they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts. However, she also knew that now was not the time to sigh, so she retracted her heart, bowed down to Duan Yingsi and Murong Longcheng Yingying, and choked up: "Duan Xian's nephew and General Murong sacrificed their lives to save my mother and son. ”
Duan Yingsi hurriedly took a step forward, helped her to get up, and said: "Aunt tortured the little nephew! Back then, the ancestor and Uncle Chai married Jinlan, the aunt was my mother, and Brother Chai Xian was my own brother, and the little nephew's move was originally within my bounds. However, this is not the place to speak, and it is not too late to leave this dangerous place first, and then talk slowly. ”
So Duan Yingsi, Murong Longcheng and other four people were in front, Huang Shaowen was behind, and the five of them guarded the Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun and walked out. When passing through the hall, he saw a group of eunuchs and maids lying on the ground, Chai Zhongxun suddenly pointed to one of the maids and said, "Queen Mother, can you bring Jing'er with you?"
"Jing'er?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the expression on Chai Zhongxun's face, and then looked at the maid on the ground, and saw that although she had a mediocre appearance, she was already the most beautiful of the maids in the house. It's just that on the way to escape now, wouldn't it add a burden to Duan Yingsi and the others by bringing an extra handless maid?
But she thought about it, why not take this opportunity to test these attitudes towards her mother and son? So she spoke: "Duan Shinephew, General Murong, this maid may already be pregnant with the blood of my Chai family, I wonder if she can escape with her?"
Gongye Zhi and Murong Qi frowned slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't speak; Murong Longcheng respectfully did not change, and said, "But according to the Queen Mother's orders." Duan Yingsi also nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then the judgment can't pull her down." ”
When Chai Zhongxun heard the great joy, he immediately bent down and picked up the unconscious maid, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was also much relieved. However, Chai Zhongxun has been trapped in a closed stone house since he was a child, his body is weak and tight, and he only walked a few steps with Jing'er in his arms, his hands and feet were strained, and his body fell forward, but fortunately Duan Yingsi helped him.
Chai Zhongxun glanced at Duan Yingsi gratefully, and Duan Yingsi smiled and said, "Brother Xian, there is a carriage around the corner in front, and you can walk a few steps away." ”
Chai Zhongxun just wanted to say that he had no strength to walk anymore, but he felt a warm current of heat from Duan Yingsi's palm to his shoulder, then through the lower abdomen, and then to the limbs.
Sitting in the carriage, Chai Zongxun couldn't help but ask Duan Yingsi, "Brother Duan, did you just make the spell?
Duan Yingsi said with a smile: "It is my family's martial arts, and it is also very beneficial to use it to strengthen the body, if you are interested, you might as well learn a little, and you can pass the time along the way." ”
Chai Zongxun nodded excitedly.
After a short time, the carriage reached the southwest of the city. Fangzhou City has already closed the city gate at this time, but it can't stop the masters of Murong and Duan Yingsi, they abandoned the carriage at the moment, and Duan Yingsi, Murong Longcheng and Huang Shaowen carried the Empress Dowager Zhou, Chai Zhongxun and Jing'er respectively, and then several people each performed light skills or gecko swimming wall skills, rubbed over the city wall, and ran all the way towards Daba Mountain in the southwest.
Among the people left behind, except for Ding Yu, the other six people knew the purpose of this trip, so they all looked happy when they saw that Murong Longcheng and the others had successfully rescued them. When Murong Longcheng revealed the identities of the Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun, they all met them as courtesies of monarchs and ministers. And Duan Yingsi asked Ding Yu to greet the two as juniors.
Because the night was dark and the mountain road was difficult to walk, everyone settled down in the camp after some politeness, prepared to rest for the night, and set off early the next morning.
Duan Yingsi said to Ding Yu: "Now that I have everything done for my teacher in the Central Plains, I will return to Dali and take back what should belong to me......" As he spoke, he explained his and Murong Longcheng's plans and plans.
I see! The completion of this last piece of fragment finally made Ding Yu see clearly the overall plan of Murong Dragon City: Murong Dragon City rescued Duan Yingsi in order to regain the throne for Duan Yingsi, and then occupy the magpie's nest. But with the strength of his Murong clan, it was not enough to achieve this. So he set his sights on the civil and military officials who fought the world for Chai Rong back then, and planned to use their power to help Duan Yingsi seize the throne.
Chai Rong's loyal ministers naturally wouldn't go to Duan Yingsi's life for no reason, so Murong Longcheng found a reason for them that could not be refused-to rescue Chai Rong's son, Chai Zhongxun.
It is not difficult to rescue Chai Zhongxun, but the difficult thing is where to settle down after being rescued. With Zhao Kuangyin's jealousy of Chai Zhongxun, once Chai Zhongxun is out of his control, he will definitely dig three feet into the ground and claim the whole country, so Zhao Song must not stay; if he flees to a foreign country, Tubo, Western Xia, and Liao will all be barbarians in the eyes of the Central Plains courtiers, and they will not be considered until the mountains and rivers are exhausted.
Only Dali, who was also educated by the saints, and whose clothing and language were similar to those of the Central Plains, was the place they wanted. It's just that Dali has few soldiers, and Duan Liangsi, the emperor of Dali today, is worried about Zhao Songsu, if the news of Chai Zhongxun's hiding in Dali is known by Zhao Kuangyin, I am afraid that a piece of paper will fly, Duan Liangsi will tie Chai Zhongxun and send it back to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is also not good.
However, if the emperor of Dali was replaced by Duan Yingsi, the situation would be completely different. Duan Yingsi is young and vigorous, and he has contacted the old ministers of the Zhou Dynasty back then, and if he wants to crusade against Zhao Kuangyin, he will naturally not be as afraid as Duan Liangsi;
The combination of several factors made the former ministers of the Zhou Dynasty believe that the Dali Kingdom, which was led by Duan Yingsi, would be the best place for Chai Zhongxun to live. As a result, a group of former Zhou Dynasty ministers reached a deal with Duan Yingsi through Murong Longcheng: they helped Duan Yingsi regain the throne, and then Duan Yingsi protected Chai Zhongxun as the lord of the country.
Murong Longcheng, on the other hand, used a trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, replacing Duan Suke, the future prince of Dali, with a puppet under his own control, so as to take the entire Dali Kingdom into his pocket! )
