(Closed today, so there is a third shift in the evening)

The heavy snow is overwhelming, and a city in the wilderness is exposed in the wind and snow, and the area seems to be not small, but compared with the huge cities with towering pheasant walls in the Great Song Dynasty, the city of the Five Kingdoms in front of it is not so much called "city", but rather a larger village and town.

There are no moats or walls on all sides, except for a few courtyards in the center that look a little more imposing, and there are low thatched huts everywhere, half of which go deep into the ground, which is commonly known as "earth kilns", which are very common in the northern country, and have been buried by snow up to five feet thick, which can only be judged by the shape of those square roofs.

A large number of earth holes form the shape of the city of the Five Kingdoms, and the surrounding traffic points are set up at the crossings to block the entry and exit of the road, and there are shaking figures before and after the rejection of the horses, which are the golden soldiers of the guards, they are so cold that they keep stomping their feet in the wind and snow, and the sound of their boots is very loud, which can be clearly heard from far outside the city.

The number of guards is not large, and it is no wonder that it is difficult to walk in the snowstorm, so the weather guards are simply redundant, as long as you go into the wilderness outside, you will definitely freeze into popsicles in less than half a moment.

At the beginning of the night, the city of the Five Kingdoms was already lifeless, and the heart-rending cry of a woman came from the city, intermittently, poignantly, and it made people's hair stand on end.

Li Hong and Chu Xuan descended outside the city, glanced at each other, and had a very bad feeling in their hearts, Li Hong said: "I think your imperial uncle should be in the courtyard of the center, go, go now!"

Chu Xuan nodded, and the two of them quietly swept towards the city, and the golden soldiers guarding it were unaware of it, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them came to the front of those courtyards, and the middle one looked the most magnificent, and the pattern looked a bit like an official office.

There is a plaque hanging on the lintel, which has been covered by snow, and Li Hong's divine sense checked through the snow, and it was actually written with four Chinese characters: "Governor's Office".

It seems that it is here, maybe Zhao Huan will be imprisoned in this governor's mansion.

There was a sound of talking from the back office, and there were quite a few people, seven or eight people were feasting and drinking, and there were women waiting next to them.

Li Hong gestured to Chu Xuan, the two of them walked straight to the back, and in a blink of an eye they were already standing outside the window under the corridor, Li Hong broke two layers of thick brown paper and moved his eyes to the hole.

It's steaming inside, and it's two worlds away from the ice and snow outside.

There is a fire dragon burning underground, there are seven or eight golden people sitting on a big kang in the east, the cups and plates on the kang table in front of them are messy, the big plate of mutton has been eaten and crippled, and the fat of white flowers is condensed, and the golden people are very interested, and they are laughing and chatting with each other in nonsense.

Each of them had a woman in his arms, and these golden people kneaded them vigorously while chatting, rubbing the dirty mouth of the greasy beard and pulling the dirty mouth on the woman's face in their arms, and a few people simply stretched out the hand that had just grabbed the greasy and fat mutton into the woman's arms and scratched it vigorously.

The women who accompanied them were all dressed in beards, with narrow sleeves and leather jackets, and they were half-open on a cold day, revealing most of their white breasts, and several of them had pinched out large bruises and purple marks on their chests.

Although they gasped in pain, these women all pretended to be smiling, but the tears in their eyes and their gentle eyebrows and eyes......

Li Hong was shocked, they were Song girls.

Although he had long expected such a thing to happen, when he really ran into it, Li Hong was still furious, and he rushed out with an irrepressible murderous aura, but he didn't make a move immediately because he endured it.

Several of the golden people inside are veterans who have been through the battlefield, and they feel that something is wrong and gradually quiets down, and a golden man facing the window sighed, and about saw a small hole in the window paper, and pushed away the Song Nu in her arms, pulled out her waist knife and jumped up, pointing at the window and screaming in her mouth, which sounded particularly loud in the quiet snowy night.

Outside the courtyard, the sound of boots and knives sounded.

Li Hongxu was furious, and wanted to simply kill a hundred people, but he heard Chu Xuan's voice say: "Remember our big things, alas! I advise you not to be angry because of this, there must be a lot of such things here, let's go!" he let out a long sigh and turned around and flew out of the courtyard.

The golden generals rushed out of the house, but when they saw that it was empty, the snow five feet thick was as flat as a mirror, and there was half a figure there, they only said that they were dazzled, and muttered a few words to go back in to have fun.

In an empty courtyard in the back, Li Hong took a few breaths of cold air, and the anger in his chest gradually subsided.

Chu Xuan was actually very sad in his heart, although the Song girls who accompanied the wine didn't know the exact names and surnames, but for some reason, he always felt that one of them looked particularly familiar, and it seemed to be ...... He hurriedly put aside a terrible thought, and said to Li Hong: "You must find someone who can speak Chinese to ask where the emperor's uncle and the queen mother are locked up, let's act quickly, it really makes me uncomfortable here, leave quickly after finishing things!"

Li Hong nodded distraughtly.

The commotion just now was quite disturbing, Li Hongyun listened carefully, and found that someone in the courtyard next door was talking in a whisper, and what he said turned out to be Chinese.

It's them, Li Hong crossed the wall, and after a few turns, he found the direction where the voice was coming from.

It seems to be a firewood house where the subordinates live, the house is low, it looks dilapidated and crumbling, the roof is creaking and trembling under the thick snow, and it will fall at any time, Li Hong walked quickly to the dilapidated house, and pushed it gently, but the door was not bolted.

The two people in the room were talking in a whisper, and suddenly they felt the wind and snow blowing on their faces, and as soon as they raised their heads, there was one more person in front of them, and they were so frightened that they were about to scream.

Li Hong's hands were sick, and he had already stepped forward to cover the mouths of the two, and shouted in a warning voice: "I am sent from the south, don't speak loudly, I will ask you to answer, if there is half a sentence, you two don't know how they died!"

The two of them were not surprised when they heard "sent from the south", their eyes lit up, and they suddenly revealed joy from their bones, and although they couldn't speak, they nodded desperately.

It seemed that it was really a Song person, so Li Hong let go of his hand with confidence, took two steps back, and looked at the two of them.

The two of them looked like slaves, their gray hair hanging down and tangled with their gray beards, covering most of their faces, and they couldn't see what they looked like, but they could only vaguely see that they were two old men.

The two of them are all in rags, the ragged clothes on their bodies can no longer see the original color, almost rotten into strips, they are wearing a piece of sheepskin to keep warm and shelter from the wind, look closely, the ragged clothes of these two people are often worn by the Han people, but they are too tattered, almost can't see the appearance of the straight embellishment, the tattered hem of the clothes reveals the tattered sheepskin pants and rotten wool boots that have not been removed, and the clothes are simply shabby than beggars.

There was no fire in the broken house, it was as cold as an ice cellar, and both of them were so cold that their skin was blue, and there was only a broken bed in the whole broken house, and there were piles of rotten sheepskins on it, and the piles of sheepskins were still in the shape of a nest.

The door moved slightly, and Chu Xuan walked in, immediately turning around and closing the door tightly.

One of the two immediately turned his gaze to Chu Xuan, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and suddenly bowed his head, and his body fell deeply, only to hear him say: "Doctor Zhongsan, Wailang Wu Qingyu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, has seen the prince of Yun!"

Chu Xuan was taken aback: "You know me!"

Wu Qingyu raised his head, tears flashed in his eyes: "The prince is cool and King Yun, I haven't seen you for many years, the prince has grown up, and he looks even more heroic than King Yun back then!"

Chu Xuan didn't expect to meet the old man in the court here, so he hurriedly helped him up, the two looked at each other, Wu Qingyu looked at Chu Xuan's old tears, and he was already choked.

Li Hong sighed, Zhongsan Doctor Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, this is a very high official rank, he is already from the fifth grade, and he must be a Great Song Dynasty official who was taken captive with Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji.

said that the person also had a name and surname, his name was Feng Zhongxun, and he was also a captive Song Dynasty official, and when he heard the official title, Li Hong was even more embarrassed, he was even higher than Wu Qingyu's official rank, he was a doctor of Xuanfeng, a priest of the country, and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

The two former high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty are now not as good as beggars, living in a broken firewood house that leaks on all sides, without a fire, holding a pile of rotten sheepskins and suffering from hunger, no wonder only thirty or forty people look as old men in their sixties and seventies.

Since they were all Song people, or Great Song officials who were captured with Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, Li Hong decided to tell the truth.

Wu Qingyu said in a low voice after hearing the moved palms: "Thank you, thank you to the south, I have finally looked forward to you coming after so many years, I know where the saint is, just under the slope of a hill ten miles west of the city, there is a hidden manhole there, and the saint is locked up there!" Speaking of this, his voice lowered, and he said solemnly: "Heavenly Master must not be careless, it is said that the guards of the saint are people like you!"

Li Hong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this!"

"I just happened to know the legend of the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country, you are from the overseas Immortal Mountain, and you have really great skills, but there are also such people in the Holy Heaven, they are said to be the Heavenly Master of the Golden Dog!" Wu Qingyu's trembling voice was extremely low, and he looked very scared.

Li Hong looked at Chu Xuan, and the two of them looked at each other at the same time.

The Heavenly Master of the Golden Dog, could it be that they are the people of the Demon Sect, could it be that they really interfered in the mortal court situation, Chu Xuan was really not wrong.

Originally, I thought that this rescue was just a trivial matter, but as long as it was related to the Demon Sect, it must not be taken lightly, it seems that to rescue Zhao Huan, there must be a tough battle, so before that, I have to ask about the whereabouts of Empress Dowager Wei and Queen Xing, thinking that women must be not strictly guarded, they should be arranged to leave first.

When Wu Qingyu and Feng Zhongxun heard that they were going to save Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Xing first, they immediately hesitated, and their eyes flickered very wrong.

Li Hong thought of the scene of Song Nu just now, and a very bad and embarrassing thought rose in his heart.

Chu Xuan said coldly: "We have to give an explanation to the south, no matter what happens, we must go over and take a look!"

Wu Qingyu looked at Feng Zhongxun again, and the two of them nodded slowly at each other at the same time, obviously making up their minds.

Feng Zhongxun said in a low voice: "We know where the Empress of Punishment is, please come with us, but don't be surprised when you hear any movement!"

Li Hong nodded, instructed the two of them not to shout, and took one with Chu Xuan, who had already flown out of the wall as high as a zhangxu, and fell lightly in the alley covered with thick snow outside, and then picked them up, and quickly turned a few corners under the guidance, and they had already come to a large compound.

This is almost the last decent building in the city of the Five Kingdoms, the courtyard occupies a large area, and there is no one at the door, but there is a commotion from the gatehouse, and several golden guards are drunk and doing the beast's thing, and the women are crushed to death, and there are miserable moans in their throats, and they almost dare not cry.

Wu Qingyu turned his face away miserably, shook his hand and pointed inward.

There is a white wooden plaque hanging at the door, with only three words: "Huanyi Yuan".
