"At this time, can't General Murong guess?"

Murong Longcheng's father and son were silent, since they had stepped into the trap, it meant that they had killed the wrong person last night, or killed fewer people.

Among those who are still alive today, needless to say, their father and son, the remaining two families will be in danger of dying, and there is no need to doubt it. But other than that, none of them can be trusted. Perhaps this was Xiaoyaozi's original intention, which made them suspicious of each other and unable to work together to make the final struggle.

However, there are some things that Murong father and son didn't see, but someone did.

"It's the Empress Dowager Zhou!" Ding Yu said.

"Oh?" Xiaoyaozi looked at Ding Yu with interest and asked, "Who is this little monk?"

Ding Yu said: "The little monk can be a monk, I have seen the Taoist of Xiaoyaozi." ”

Xiaoyaozi said: "I don't know why the little master of the monk is sure that the Empress Dowager Zhou is that person?"

"Because that big black man, the one you call General Gao, has only one rope in his hand, and that rope is tied to the Empress Dowager Zhou. ”

Before, Murong father and son and Duan Yingsi couldn't see clearly in the wooden row, but Ding Yu had been lying at the bottom of the water and could see clearly, and the group of water ghosts stabbed others to death, only the Empress Dowager Zhou and Chai Zhongxun were caught without injury. The two water ghosts who caught the Empress Dowager Zhou also had a rope in their hands, which was used to tie the Empress Dowager Zhou, and then pulled to the shore by General Gao, while the two people who caught Chai Zhongxun were empty-handed.

This shows that the other party values the Empress Dowager Zhou more than Chai Zhongxun. But for an emperor like Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Zhongxun is the one who really threatens him, and his first target should be Chai Zhongxun anyway. The so-called abnormal things must have demons, and there must be something wrong with the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Although Ding Yu's words were clueless, the people on the two wooden rows were all people with deep wisdom, and they immediately figured out the key when they heard it. But even so, no one still believed that Empress Dowager Zhou would be the traitor, you know, Chai Zhongxun is her own son! Why did she betray a group of people who came to save her son?

Duan Yingsi scolded even louder: "This is absolutely impossible! Ke'er, Empress Dowager Zhou is not only my aunt, but also the biological mother of her loyal and virtuous brother, she will never do such a thing! This is just the discordant plan of the free son, Ke'er, you don't want to be deceived by him!"

"No, the little master is right, Ying Sixian's nephew, it's the old man's doing. ”

I saw that on the shore on the right, beside the big black man, a group of soldiers walked out surrounded by the Empress Dowager Zhou. Her steps were weak, her face pale with a hint of a sickly flush, but she was much better spirited than she had been on a wooden raft.

"Queen Mother!" "Aunt!" Chai Zhongxun and Duan Yingsi shouted one after another.

Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at the two of them, lowered her head as if she didn't dare to face them, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, for the sake of loyalty, I have no choice." ”

The more everyone listened, the more confused they became, Chai Zhongxun stood up from the wooden raft and shouted weakly: "Queen Mother, I don't understand. Isn't it a thousand times better to follow Brother Duan to Dali than to be a prisoner in Zhao Song?"

Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head desolate and said, "Idiot, I'm not talking about you. ”

Chai Zhongxun shouted excitedly: "Mother, are you confused! I am your child, Zhongxun!"

"You're not ......" Before the Empress Dowager Zhou's words fell, she coughed sharply, Xiaoyaozi shook her head and sighed: "The Empress Dowager is not safe, please go back and rest, and the rest will be said for you by the poor road." After speaking, several female soldiers helped the Empress Dowager Zhou down.

Xiaoyaozi said: "To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple. The son of the Empress Dowager Zhou is Chai Zhongxun, but Chai Zhongxun is not the person on the wooden row. ”

"Impossible! You lie! You ......" Chai Zhongxun on the wooden raft shouted hysterically, but was fainted by Murong Longcheng's fingers. With his mind, combined with the words of the Empress Dowager Zhou just now and his previous experience, he has already figured out most of the - the Chai Zhongxun in his hand is a Xibei goods.

Xiaoyaozi continued: "When Emperor Sejong died young, he left behind a young child and a widowed mother and a huge empire. Although the throne has changed hands now, at least the country and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful. It's a pity that there are always ambitious people who try to coerce Sejong's young son in order to revive the Hou Zhou.

In order to avoid the overthrow of the country, the official family named Chai Zongxun as King Zheng on the surface, and moved to Fangzhou with the Empress Dowager Zhou; in fact, Shangchai Zongxun was secretly sent away, and a young child was sent to the Empress Dowager Zhou. The purpose is to lure out those who are hiding in the shadows with ambitions. The official family promised the Empress Dowager Zhou that as long as she could help him dig out the hidden dangers, he would let her mother and son truly reunite. It's just that I didn't expect you to be patient, and this day has been waiting for more than ten years to come.

In addition to the Empress Dowager Zhou, the secret guard Huang Shaowen is also a nail I planted. I deliberately asked him to return to his hometown to visit his relatives every one or two years, making a false impression of attachment to his family, and sure enough, those old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty caught all the people of his clan, so as to control Huang Shaowen to pass on news for them and cooperate with you to escape.

It's a pity that they don't know that Huang Shaowen had to sell himself into the palace because of the bullying of his relatives, and he has long hated those relatives, so where can he be controlled because of them?

We spent time and effort laying such a trap, of course, not only for General Murong, but also to dig out those unsubordinate people hiding in the court. Thanks to Empress Dowager Zhou's hard work these days, she finally learned the identities of all the people behind the scenes from General Murong's mouth, so this plan was finally successful. ”

Murong Longcheng's face was pale, he had never suspected the Empress Dowager Zhou from beginning to end, and even in order to win her trust, on the way to escape, he had already told her about the old ministers of Hou Zhou who participated in the rescue, but he didn't expect that if he uprooted his own relationship in the Zhao and Song dynasties!

What he didn't expect was that he was conceited all his life, but this time, from the very beginning, he fell into the calculations of Zhao Kuangyin and Xiaoyaozi, and it could even be said that he was played with between applause - how did he not get angry! How not to hate!

"General Murong," Xiaoyaozi said sincerely, "the reason why Poor Dao went to great lengths to tell the cause and effect of this matter one by one is not to show off his strategy, but to cherish the general's great talent. If it is decided today, but there are still Western Xia and Liao countries eyeing it, my Great Song Dynasty is far from the time to sit back and relax, with the ability of a general, if you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and assist the official family to calm down the external troubles, there may not be a day when the king will be torn apart in the future. ”

"Hahaha~" Murong Longcheng suddenly burst out with a long laugh, and at the end of the laughter, he said coldly: "I, Murong Longcheng, am the thirty-eighth generation of Emperor Murong Chui's descendant of the Emperor of Houyan, and today I missed a move in chess and was defeated by you, I have nothing to say." However, Zhao Dazu was just a poor peasant who carried the land in a basket, and you actually let me take refuge in him? Xiaoyaozi, you insulted me too much! Do you think that this situation of fire and water will kill me Murong Longcheng!" )
