Yang Kang came out of Wanyan Honglie's study. He had just explained the matter with Mei Chaofeng and was wondering how Wanyan Honglie would deal with Mei Chaofeng.

Since he was saved at that time, he probably wouldn't kill him again, but he wasn't sure. Just as Wanyan Honglie couldn't see through his son, Yang Kang couldn't see through Wanyan Honglie either.

"Little prince." Sha Tongtian followed closely behind Yang Kang and whispered.

"Huh?" Yang Kang responded with a nasal voice.

Over the years, he and Wanyan Honglie lived together. He didn't learn much about the strategy of governing the country, but he learned a lot from the prince's style. Yang Kang sometimes felt that as time went by, he might become like Wanyan Honglie. The living environment had a negative impact on people.

The impact is really great.

"Junior Brother Hou has not returned yet, I am afraid he is chasing those thieves." Sha Tongtian said softly.

Hou Tonghai never came back after chasing him out of the city gate two days ago. Yang Kang thought that he might have absconded out of fear of crime.

He asked the maids and women who were looking after Hua Zheng and confirmed that Hua Zheng ran out on her own and had little to do with Hou Tonghai. However, Hua Zheng was indeed snatched away from Hou Tonghai as the guardian of the palace.

, you can't escape a charge of dereliction of duty, even so you won't have to abscond.

Yang Kang couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it any more. Erluzi's thoughts were not understandable to ordinary people. Hearing Sha Tongtian mention it at this moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you sure?" Yang Kang asked.

"Junior Brother Hou is usually a little reckless in his actions, but he is still very principled. Since he feels that the little princess has been lost from his hands, he will try his best to find the little princess." Sha Tongtian defended his junior brother, "I and I

We have known each other for many years and know him well."

In Yang Kang's view, this was Sha Tongtian trying to protect Hou Tonghai. After all, he was the one who introduced Hou Tonghai into Prince Zhao's Mansion. Sha Tongtian was also jointly and severally responsible for anything that happened, but Hou Tonghai was really as loyal as Sha Tongtian said.

What?

"Why didn't you make it clear to your father just now?" Yang Kang asked puzzledly.

"The Sixth Prince is angry. It is useless to talk. The young prince knows that it is the same." Sha Tongtian explained, "I have sent my disciples out of the city to investigate. The Yellow River Gang has a special contact secret. If Junior Brother Hou really follows the thieves,

, will definitely leave a secret mark."

"Although Mr. Hou is not good at things, he is a real man." Peng Lianhu also supported him.

Yang Kang thought about it, and it didn't matter even if Hou Tonghai really fled out of fear of crime. He was just a small person. Since Sha Tongtian interceded with Peng Lianhu, there was no need for him to refute his good helper. It was better to just be a favor.

"If this is really the case, I will definitely report it to my father and never let Mr. Hou be wronged." Yang Kang promised.

"Thank you, young prince." Sha Tongtian said gratefully.

Yang Kang forgot about this matter after telling him about it. He felt that this might just be Sha Tongtian's delaying tactic. Sha Tongtian wanted to use this time to find Hou Tonghai back, but he made up a decent excuse, such as chasing him for a few days.

Wait, let's get this matter over with.

At this time, it had been two days since Huazheng was kidnapped. He was probably hundreds of miles away. It was not easy to find him. None of the elite soldiers sent by Wanyan Honglie sent back any news, let alone Hou Tonghai, who was a fool.

However, things went beyond Yang Kang's expectation.

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 message left by Hou Tonghai outside the city. The direction of the secret message turned out to be south.

Wanyan Honglie believed that after these people robbed Huazheng, they would definitely travel back to Mobei at night, so he sent troops to pursue them in the north. Unexpectedly, these people did the opposite and headed south.

This is indeed a good approach.

Heading south from Kaifeng, you can cross the Yangtze River in two or three days. Over there is the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. There are many inconveniences for the Jin Kingdom to intervene. At least they cannot directly send troops to pursue them. These people will wait until two or three months later.

It’s not too late to return to Mobei by other means.

"Are you sure he will always follow?" Yang Kang asked.

"Junior Brother Hou has a stubborn temper and will do what he sets his sights on. I believe he will definitely follow." Sha Tongtian assured.

Sha Tongtian and Hou Tonghai are brothers from the same school, and their relationship is similar to that of real brothers. Although Sha Tongtian often lectures and beats Hou Tonghai, it is for Hou Tonghai's good, and it is a bit hateful that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

In the past, when he was with the Yellow River Gang, no matter how ridiculous Hou Tonghai did, Sha Tongtian could laugh it off, but now he was working for the Sixth Prince, and once something went wrong, it would not be so easy to deal with it.

He tried to protect Hou Tonghai this time, not only because he believed in this junior brother, but also because he cared about his past friendship.

Yang Kang received Sha Tongtian's guarantee and couldn't make up his mind for a moment. He felt that the escape strategy of the Beggar Clan's people heading south was reasonable, but should they go to such great lengths to catch them back? It was just a small talk.

Just a girl.

He and Wanyan Honglie only thought that Temujin sent the Six Jiangnan Monsters to snatch the Hua Zheng. They did not know that Tuo Lei and Guo Jing were among them. When Wanyan Honglie rushed back to the palace, Lu Youjiao had already left with three children.

At that time, both Guo Jing and Tuo Lei were dressed as beggars, and the palace guards only thought they were ordinary beggars and did not pay any attention to them. Otherwise, Wanyan Honglie would never be so calm and would definitely search for Tuo Lei with all his strength.

None of the above is the point. The point is that a word attracted Yang Kang's attention.

Jiangnan!

He thought this was a good opportunity to do something he had always wanted to do. There was a place called Niujia Village somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River. That was the starting point of the whole story. Yang Kang wanted to go and pay his respects.

"Akang, what do you think?" Wanyan Honglie asked casually.

This was in Wanyan Honglie's study. Yang Kang and Sha Tongtian shared their guesses and waited for Wanyan Honglie to come up with an idea. Unexpectedly, the Sixth Prince kicked the ball back.

Wanyan Honglie would ask this question when he was inspecting Yang Kang's academic work in the past, but this time the inspection was not about the homework in the book, but his views on the whole matter.

Although on the surface it seems that it is just a child being kidnapped, behind the scenes it involves the relationship between the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia, the relationship between Wanyan Honglie and the Jin Kingdom court, as well as speculations about various possible events.

What would happen if Hua Zheng was allowed to return to Mobei? What would happen if Hua Zheng was captured again?

Wanyan Honglie was able to ask Yang Kang for his opinion, which shows that he began to consciously cultivate Yang Kang's overall view. The bigger the situation you can see, the higher the height you can reach.

If Yang Kang only sees one city and one land, 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. Only those who see the whole world and consider everything can be the emperor.

"The child thinks that Hua Zheng should be captured to make Mobei scruple and not fall out immediately. The court can also take advantage of the situation and severely reprimand Temujin to send a message to other tribes in the grassland that we do not really support it.

Temujin." Yang Kang said according to his own thoughts.

"In that case, just do what you want." Wanyan Honglie decided.

Wanyan Honglie looked at Yang Kang's leaving figure and shook his head gently. The key to this matter was not Huazheng or the changes in Mobei, but the attitude of the Jin Dynasty court.

At this time, Prince Wanyan Hongyu was supervising the country. This newly promoted prince was very wary of his former competitors. Any move by Wanyan Honglie would be regarded as a signal for counterattack.

This is the reason why Wanyan Honglie shook his head. He knew that his proposed strategy against Mobei would definitely be shelved, so it no longer mattered whether there was Hua Zheng or not. With the connivance of the Jin Kingdom, Temujin's rise was unstoppable.
