Chapter II: Tracking
Yang Kang came out of Wanyan Honglie's study, he had just explained the matter with Mei Chaofeng, guessing how Wanyan Honglie would deal with Mei Chaofeng.
Since he was saved at that time, he shouldn't have been a killer again, but he wasn't sure, just as Wan Yan Honglie couldn't see through this son, Yang Kang couldn't see through Wan Yan Honglie.
"Little prince. Sha Tongtian followed closely behind Yang Kang and said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Yang Kang replied in a nasal voice.
Over the years, he has lived with Wanyan Honglie, and he has not learned much about the strategy of governing the country, but he has learned the prince's style very much, Yang Kang sometimes feels that after a long time, he is afraid that he will change the same as Wanyan Honglie, and the living environment has a really great impact on people.
"Senior Brother Hou hasn't returned yet, I'm afraid I'm chasing those thieves. Sha Tongtian said softly.
Hou Tonghai has not returned since chasing him out of the city gate two days ago, and Yang Kang thinks that he may have absconded in fear of crime.
He asked the maids who took care of Hua Zheng and confirmed that Hua Zheng ran out by himself, and it had little to do with Hou Tonghai, but Hua Zheng was indeed snatched from Hou Tonghai's hands, as the guardian of the palace, a charge of dereliction of duty cannot be escaped, and even then it will not be able to abscond.
Yang Kang couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it again, the thoughts of the two stunned people were not understandable to ordinary people, and when he heard Sha Tongtian mention it at this moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you sure?" Yang Kang asked rhetorically.
"Senior Brother Hou is a little reckless in his usual work, but he is still very principled, since he feels that the little princess is lost from him, he will try his best to find the little princess back. Sha Tongtian defended his junior brother, "I have been with my junior brother for many years and know him as a person. ”
In Yang Kang's opinion, this is Sha Tongtian trying to protect Hou Tonghai, after all, he introduced Hou Tonghai to Zhao Wangfu, and Sha Tongtian is also a little jointly and severally responsible if something happens, but is Hou Tonghai really as loyal as Sha Tongtian said?
"Why didn't you make it clear to your father just now?" Yang Kang was puzzled.
"The sixth prince is angry, it is useless to say more, the little prince knows that it is the same. Sha Tongtian explained, "I have already sent my disciples out of the city to investigate, the Yellow River Gang has a special secret contact, if Senior Brother Hou really follows the thief, he will definitely leave a secret note." ”
"Although Hou Dangjia can't do things, he is a real man. Peng Lianhu also said on the side.
Yang Kang thought about it for a while, even if Hou Tonghai really absconded in fear of crime, it was nothing, he was just a small person, since Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu interceded together, he didn't need to refute his good helper, it was better to be a favor.
"If this is the case, I will tell my father that I will never let the Hou family be wronged. Yang Kang agreed.
"Thank you, little prince. Sha Tongtian said gratefully.
Yang Kang said about this matter and forgot about it, he felt that this might just be Sha Tongtian's delaying tactic, Sha Tongtian wanted to take advantage of this time to find Hou Tonghai back, but then make up a passable reason, such as chasing for a few days and chasing it away, etc., to round this matter over.
At this time, it has been two days since Hua Zheng was hijacked, and I am afraid that people are already hundreds of miles away, how easy it is to find it, the elite soldiers sent out by Wanyan Honglie have not sent back a message, let alone Hou Tonghai, who is a stunned man.
However, things were unexpected by Yang Kang.
In the evening, Wu Qinglie, one of the four ghosts of the Yellow River, returned to the palace and said that he had found a secret mark left by Hou Tonghai outside the city, and the direction of the secret mark turned out to be pointing south.
Wanyan Honglie thought that after these people robbed Huazheng, they would definitely return to Mobei in the starry night, so he sent troops to chase the north, but he didn't expect these people to go the opposite way and go all the way to the south.
It's a good idea indeed.
From Kaifeng all the way to the south, you can cross the Yangtze River in two or three days, there is the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Guo wants to intervene has a lot of inconvenience, at least can not directly send troops to pursue, these people wait until two or three months later and then return to Mobei from other ways is not too late.
"Are you sure he'll always follow?" Yang Kang asked.
"Senior Brother Hou is stubborn, and he will do what he sees to the end, and I believe he will definitely follow. Sha Tongtian assured.
Sha Tongtian and Hou Tonghai are brothers in the same school, and their feelings are similar to that of their own brothers, although Sha Tongtian often teaches and scolds Hou Tonghai, but that is for Hou Tonghai's good, and he hates iron and steel.
In the past, when he was in the Yellow River Gang, no matter how nonsense Hou Tonghai did, Sha Tongtian could laugh it off, but now he is doing things for the six princes, and once there is a leak, it is not so easy to deal with the past.
He tried his best to protect Hou Tonghai this time, not only believing in this junior brother, but also thinking about his previous feelings.
Yang Kang received Sha Tongtian's assurance, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, he felt that the escape strategy of the beggar gang all the way south was reasonable, but should he make so much effort to capture them back? Speaking of which, it was just a little girl.
He and Wanyan Honglie only thought that Temujin had sent the Six Monsters of Jiangnan to snatch Hua Zheng, and they didn't know that Tuo Lei and Guo Jing were also among them, and when Wanyan Honglie rushed back to the palace, Lu Youjiao had already left with three children.
At that time, Guo Jing and Tuo Lei were both dressed as beggars, and the guards of the palace only thought that they were ordinary beggars and didn't care, otherwise Wanyan Honglie would never be so calm, and he would definitely go all out to hunt down Tuo Lei.
None of the above is the point, the point is that one word attracted Yang Kang's attention.
Gangnam!
He felt that this was a good opportunity to do something he had always wanted to do, and there was a place called Niujia Village somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, which was the www.biquge.info of the whole story, and Yang Kang wanted to visit it.
"Akang, what do you think?" asked Wan Yan Honglie casually.
This is in Wanyan Honglie's study, Yang Kang took Sha Tongtian to tell their guess, waiting for Wanyan Honglie to come up with an idea, but he didn't expect the sixth prince to kick the ball back.
In the past, when inspecting Yang Kang's academic homework, Wan Yan Honglie would ask this, but this time the inspection was not the homework in the books, but the view on the whole thing.
Although on the surface, it was just a child who was kidnapped, but behind it was the relationship between the Jin State and Mongolia, the relationship between Wanyan Honglie and the Jin court, and the speculation of various possible events.
What would happen if Hua Zheng was allowed to return to Mobei? What would happen if Hua Zheng was recaptured?
Wanyan Honglie was able to ask Yang Kang's opinion, indicating that he began to consciously cultivate Yang Kang's overall view, how big the situation you can see, how high it is possible to reach.
If Yang Kang only sees one city and one place, then he can be the lord of the city in the future, if Yang Kang only sees one country and one territory, then he can be the prime minister in the future, and only those who see the whole world and consider it holistically have the ability to be the emperor.
"The child thinks that Hua Zheng should be arrested, so that Mobei has some scruples, so that he will not turn his face immediately, and the court can also use the topic to play, reprimand Temujin fiercely, and send a message to the other tribes of the grassland, we don't really support Temujin. Yang Kang said according to his own train of thought.
"In that case, do what you want. Wan Yan Honglie decided.
Wanyan Honglie looked at the back of Yang Kang leaving, and shook his head gently, the key to this matter is not Huazheng, nor the changes in Mobei, but the attitude of the Jin Imperial Court.
At this time, the crown prince Wanyan Hongyu was in charge of the country, and the new crown prince was vigilant enough against his former rivals, and any move by Wanyan Honglie would be seen by him as a signal for a counterattack.
This is the reason why Wanyan Honglie shook his head, he knew that his strategy against Mobei would definitely be shelved, so it didn't matter if there was a Huazheng or not, with the connivance of the Jin Imperial Court, Temujin's rise was already unstoppable.
Wanyan Honglie actually looked forward to the rise of Temujin in his heart, only when the Jin Kingdom was at the critical moment of life and death, he could have the opportunity to sit in that high position, as for how many people would die in the middle, he didn't care at all.
