Flower Stealing Master Chapter 1994: Absolutely sure
Jia Sidao, King Yi and others left soon after receiving the order. Zhao Gou was very worried and naturally did not want to stay in the Guo Mansion. Seeing Lu Youjiao and others still kneeling on the ground and kowtow, he was upset. I waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I know that you have nothing to do with this matter. Although you have the responsibility of oversight, you have just been considered as a good escort, and the merits and demerits have been offset. This time, forget it."
Lu Youjiao and the others let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed their heads to thank the emperor and said, "Thank you, the emperor, for your kindness." Almost, when the emperor really stood in front of them, they were shocked to find that the pressure was not normal, and it was even difficult to speak normally.
After Zhao Gou and his party left the Guo Mansion, they stayed in the palace prepared by Lu Wende and others in the city, and then passed on the will to fast and bathe in the palace for three days before going to Wudang to show their sincerity.
During this period, the imperial guards checked Wudang Mountain and found no problems.
After listening to the guards reporting on the situation in Wudang Mountain, Huang Chang suddenly walked out of the shadows and asked, "Is Zhang Sanfeng?" The two have had a relationship for a long time. Even if the world is opposed, he doesn't believe in Jia Si. Dao and others can invite Zhang Sanfeng to fight with them.
The guard shook his head and said, "I heard from the Wudang faction that Zhang Zhenren is in retreat."
"Retreat?" Huang Chang frowned, "Who received you from the Wudang Sect, Yu Lianzhou or Song Yuanqiao?"
The guard replied: "Neither, it's the Six Heroes Yin Liting."
"Yin Liting?" Hearing this answer, Huang Chang was silent.
Li Yanshi with the imperial equipment could not help but said: "The emperor, I think Wudang Mountain must have undergone a major change, for the sake of safety, we should cancel the plan to go up the mountain."
Zhao Gou snorted lightly: "Why?"
Li Yanshi knows that Zhao Gou is determined to win this trip. He can never be shaken by a few words of his own. However, as an old man in the hidden residence, his loyalty to Zhao Go makes him reluctant to watch his master take the slightest risk: "Wudang Among the Seven Heroes, Song Yuanqiao is mature and steady, and Yu Lianzhou is calm and composed. The entire Wudang faction has these two people in succession. No matter who they are, they will not cooperate with the chaotic party. However, this Yin Liuxia has a weak personality. He has been with Emei Ji Xiaofu from the past. I can see that he is indecisive. Such a person can use all kinds of threats and inducements to make him submit. So now the Wudang faction only has Yin Liuxia to come forward, which is the biggest problem."
Zhao Gou frowned and said: "You mean it's very likely that other people used his master's safety to force Yin Liting to cooperate?"
Li Yanshi replied: "mostly so."
Seeing that Zhao Gou fell silent, Li Yanshi couldn't help but continue to say: "The emperor, as the so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let alone you are a body of ten thousand gold, why are you going to be dangerous this time? See, there is no need to die with Jia Sidao and the net is broken, and the situation is not at the worst. Take the officials from Jinghu, for example, Xiang Shibi, the appeasement envoy of Jinghu North Road, Cao Shixiong, the prefect of Ezhou, and the deputy governor of Jing E. He has always been at odds with Jia Sidao. Even if the surname Jia has any dissatisfaction, they will never sit idly by." He is Zhao Gou's confidant and one of the few people who knows the whole plan.
Zhao Gou was silent. If there was time, he would not play such a dangerous game. It's a pity that for some reason, his health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years. I am afraid that there are not many days to live.
Although he has had mixed reputations over the years, it was the most proud thing in his life to recreate the Song Dynasty in times of crisis. However, he accidentally created the monster of the Jia Family Group. Once he dies, it will be based on the age of the prince. Prestige, it is impossible to deal with him.
Zhao Gou didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Cao Wei and Bei Zhou being usurped by powerful officials in the Song Dynasty, so he made up his mind to solve Jia Sidao while he was still capable, so that he would have the face to meet his ancestors when he was underground.
It’s just that these things can’t tell other people that the emperor’s physical condition is the most secret information of the empire. His physical condition is only known to uncontested people like Huang Chang. In addition, Li Yanshi’s confidant also Can't know.
"No need to say any more, my will is determined." Zhao Gou waved his hand to stop Li Yanshi from continuing, then turned back and asked Huang Chang, "Has Song Qingshu arrived?"
Huang Chang shook his head: "No, but with my apprentice staring at him, he should be able to come back in time."
"That's why I have to fast and bathe for three days. If he can't arrive after three days, there is no need to wait." Zhao Gou said lightly.
Huang Chang hesitated: "Will it be too risky to go straight up the mountain without waiting for him?"
Zhao Gou shook his head: "Song Qingshu is the kind of unwilling person at first glance. His participation in this operation has made a few more variables. I didn't take him into consideration at the beginning. It was you who insisted. Pulling him into the group, I also let me use Concubine Wu as a bargaining chip."
"A concubine who has fallen out of favor and is useless can not only be the heart of Concubine An Jia, but also can be sold by a great master. No matter how you think it is a good deal." Huang Chang replied lightly, a person like Concubine Wu Naturally, she couldn't give it to Song Qingshu, but her beauty and status could not disappear out of thin air in the palace, so the emperor sent someone to fake the illusion that she committed suicide in the cold palace, so that Concubine Jia, who had always regarded it as a thorn in her eyes, was at ease.
Zhao Gou sneered and said: "It's a pity that, according to the current situation, it is very likely that I lost Guifei Wu in vain. After returning to Beijing, and then settle the ledger with the surname Song, his Golden Snake Camp occupies the northern part of Shandong, Jiangsu, and his subordinates. It’s self-evident that you have one hundred thousand elite soldiers. I have not spared my hands before. This time I took advantage of this to regain these two places in one fell swoop.” These two places were previously occupied by the Jin and Qing people. He didn't have much confidence, but he faced a local separatist force and his subordinates were all Han people, so he didn't have the slightest psychological pressure.
Huang Chang frowned, obviously intending to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Three days passed quickly. Zhao Gou and his team set off for Wudang Mountain as scheduled. However, King Yi, who was supposed to sit in the Suizao Corridor, appeared in the city of Xiangyang. Watching the emperor’s honor guard fade away, his eyes flashed. After a bit of eagerness, I finally pressed it down and asked: "Are you ready in Wudang?"
My confidant Yu Tianxi replied: "Everything is ready. According to the news from the widow of Hua, they threatened the safety of Wudang faction and Yang Buhui. Yin Liting finally agreed to cooperate and won’t let the emperor watch over there. A flaw."
"Wudang Yin Liuxia, such a big name, but so." A hint of sarcasm flashed from the corner of Yi Wang's mouth.
Yu Tianxi smiled and said: "Yin Liting originally disagreed, but his wife happened to be pregnant, so he couldn't help but disagree. With such a young and beautiful wife, I can't bear to change it to me."
Wang Yi couldn’t help laughing: “I heard that his beautiful fiancee was robbed by Mingjiao’s Yang Xiao. Everyone originally saw him joke, but who knew that the daughter of his former lover actually liked him. There was a good show of old cows eating tender grass, which made Yang Xiao a joke for the people of the world, and the two of them didn’t know who took advantage and who suffered."
Yu Tianxi echoed: "I heard that their mother and daughter look very similar, and I have seen it personally. They are indeed outstanding beauties. After this matter, it is impossible to leave the Wudang faction alive. It is a pity to kill the blame. If the prince is interested, you can call her to have a fun after the matter is done."
"Asshole, what kind of girl has I never seen before, and I have to do such an unbearable thing?" King Yi's face was stern, and he scolded a few times, but he was entangled in his heart. There are indeed many beauties of various colors in the palace. But this king has never played a pregnant woman-wife, do you want to give it a try? But if it spreads out, it’s not good for my reputation...
Yu Tianxi had a boring discussion. Naturally, he didn't know that Wang Yi had already been tempted, so he hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, that wandering soul has never been able to contact."
"Still can't get in touch?" Wang Yi frowned, and a cloud of haze appeared in his heart.
"Would you like to send someone to look for it?" Yu Tianxi saw that the other party was in a bad mood.
"Forget it," King Yi waved his hand, "Anyway, this situation will not have much impact on him or not. Even if he is there, he won't be able to intervene."
"Yes." Hearing what he said, Yu Tianxi felt the same way. Although there were so many layouts, it was the Faceless Man and the General that decided the outcome.
……
Zhao Gou and his team continued to travel northward along the Han River for more than a hundred miles by boat, then abandoned the boat and went overland, and arrived at the small town under Wudang Mountain in the evening the next day.
Soon the emperor's will came down, and the mountain worshipped the sky the next morning.
As for Wang Ziteng, he led the troops from the front of the palace to deploy defenses on the outskirts of Wudang Mountain in advance, lest the enemy would send an army to capture the emperor in a surprise attack.
"Is there still no news from Song Qingshu?" Zhao Gou confirmed again in the palace.
"I didn't come back." Huang Chang's voice floated in the shadows.
"Yingluo didn't come back yet?" Zhao Gou was a little dissatisfied, thinking that Song Qing's schoolbag would be the only way to hide evil intentions~ IndoMTL.com~ You are my imperial sister, how can you not come back?
"Most of it was delayed by something. I just got the information not long ago. It seems that the Red Coat Army had split. Xia Quan led the army to attack Yangzhou, and the Huaidong system envoy Liu Wei also appeared near Yangzhou in cooperation. "Ding Dian on the side couldn't help answering, as he was a weapon with the emperor, this time he naturally followed the emperor. Back then, he and Ling Shuanghuaneng's lover eventually became married, relying on Song Qingshu, so he didn't want him to have anger with the emperor, so he replaced him. The other party said a few words.
"Liu Yan dared to transfer troops privately, what a daring bravery!" Zhao Gou was furious when he heard the words and smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces, and the whole person walked around the house anxiously. "Liu Qing is a person from Jia Sidao. He wanted to get his advice and deliberately attacked Yangzhou, so that Song Qingshu had to save him. Naturally, he couldn't do it again-he came to Wudang Mountain. Jia Sidao dared to do it for his own selfishness. It's really outrageous and unreasonable to come out of such a thing."
The private deployment of troops by successive generals in the past dynasties is a great taboo of the emperor. Zhao Gou came to the throne amidst turmoil. He also experienced the Miao and Liu mutiny when he almost moved his head, and the Huaixi military mutiny where tens of thousands of troops surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. Caused him to be more sensitive to this aspect.
"If I don’t get rid of this poison, I have trouble sleeping and eating!" Zhao Gou felt that his decision was wise. Tomorrow, on Wudang Mountain, everything will be settled. Regardless of whether there is Song Qingshu or not, he is all about this action. With absolute certainty.
