Chapter 01 Killing the Tiger

Chapter 01 Killing the Tiger

Recently, visitors to Li Yu's palace often come in the middle of the night, which really corresponds to the saying: Night owls come into the house, come for anything, come to cry and mourn, but they don't bring any good news. The torment makes Li Yu exhausted mentally and physically.

The slightest disturbance would wake him up, and once he woke up, it would be difficult to fall asleep again, which made everyone in the palace extremely nervous. Once Li Yu fell asleep, he would not even dare to make a sound as loud as a mosquito humming.

The smell of soothing incense came out of the dormitory along with a burst of sweet snores. The chamberlains all knew that they took a long breath, gently gestured to several palace servants, and then tiptoed out of the palace and exited the chamber.

It's so far away and all the waiters know their skills.

He said in a soft voice: "Oh, these days have been really hard for everyone. It's rare for everyone to have a peaceful sleep today. Please be smart and don't make any noise. If anyone disturbs everyone,

, the Zajia family is going to give him a slap in the face."

Since the Five Dynasties, the king of a country has been called an official by those close to him, but it is different in Jiangnan. The central leader Li Jing, who is also Li Yu's father, once called Zhou Chai Rong a minister, demoted himself, and changed his title to emperor.

The king of the country. From that time on, the king of the country was not called the official but everyone in the palace of the Tang Dynasty. Later, although he regained the title of emperor, this title has not changed. Now that Li Yu has become the king of the country again, there is no need to change the title.

thing.

The palace servants nearby agreed repeatedly, and the servants yawned and said: "Oh, the old arms and legs of the Za family can't bear the hard work these days. I have to go back to rest. You guys will take good care of everyone.

Be smart, not even a bird from home can get close to the emperor, do you hear me?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and Lao Douzhi walked tremblingly towards his residence. Just as he took a few steps, a black figure came running in front of him. He couldn't stand for a while, and bumped into Lao Douzhi.

He fell to the ground with a "卟埭" sound, and screamed in anger: "Little..."

He suddenly realized that he was afraid of waking up Li Yu, so he hurriedly said in a low voice: "Little bastard, don't you have eyes? You dare to run like this in the palace. If the Za family doesn't teach you a lesson, you don't know the rules anymore."

Several chamberlains ran over and helped him up. Xiao Huangmen, who was standing staggeringly, saw clearly that he had bumped into Lao Douzhi, and quickly said in fear: "I forgive you, I have a fault."

I report something urgent to the king, and I ran away in a hurry, so I know not to blame him."

When Lao Douzhi heard that he was reporting the matter to the lord of the country, he became even more furious and scolded: "Damn it, everyone finally had a peaceful sleep, and you still want to disturb everyone? Let me tell you, even if the sky falls today, it will not be the same."

We have to wait until tomorrow morning to talk about it."

The little yellow door squeaked and said: "But...but this man is a secret agent sent back from Kaifeng by the Duke of Chu. He said he has urgent matters to report to the king."

"Prince Zheng... ah no, the Duke of Chu has returned from the Shan sect? Is there any news about the Duke of Chu?"

The old man was surprised and happy. He knew that Li Yu and his brothers had always been deeply affectionate. Since Li Congshan was put under house arrest in Kaifeng, the king of the country was often depressed. Other things could wait, but this matter could not be delayed no matter what.

.

Lao Dou Zhi hesitated for a while in a dilemma, then stamped his foot and said, "That's all. If the Duke of Chu is sending someone, we can't delay. Come with me."

After saying that, Lao Douzhi limped and flew into Li Yu's palace like a bird from his hometown...

After a while, the palace lights came on, and then two palace lanterns led Li Yu, who was wearing a purple robe and full of excitement, to rush to Qingliang Hall.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the Qingliang Palace was deserted. Li Yu was sitting behind the imperial desk, his face pale and green, and he looked really scary. What Li Congshan sent was not good news. No, it should be a good idea. Fortunately...

Li Yu secretly rejoiced and cursed through gritted teeth: "Lin Huzi, Lin Huzi, Gu... I have treated you well, but you are so ambitious."

He stood up as soon as he slapped the desk and said with a cold smile: "No wonder when the Song army sent troops to southern Fujian, he repeatedly encouraged Gu to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Hey! It turns out that he had such a good idea and wanted to lead an army of 100,000 to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

. I thought he was a loyal and loyal minister, so I was almost kept in the dark by him."

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, generals who have never tired of treason have used the same routine. The first step is to find a reason to send troops to attack foreign enemies; the second step is to receive sufficient food and military pay and leave with elite troops;

He would stop halfway, clear out the generals in the army who were not of the same mind as him, and then change his banner or make a counter-attack.

Now the news of Lin Renzhao's surrender to the Song Dynasty was sent by Li Congshan who risked his life. How could Li Yu not believe it? Even Lin Renzhao once offered a plan: The king can pretend that he doesn't know, and the ministers will send troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

, the leader of the country could say that his ministers had sent out troops, killed all his ministers, and apologized to the Song Dynasty. Li Yu regarded them as having sinister intentions.

Li Yu was shocked and frightened. He cursed for a long time and suddenly remembered the words of the young master from Jiming Temple: "We will see the results within ten days!"

Li Yu was startled and sighed: "My little master is a true god, and his words have indeed come true. If Gu rashly makes an alliance with the Khitan people, and then the emperor will go on a personal expedition and lead Lin Renzhao to attack the Song Dynasty, he will really do it in a fool's errand."

He fell under the sword."

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more he became afraid, so he gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Who is coming, please quickly order Huangfu Jixun to come to the palace to see you."

Huangfu Jixun had made the envoys of Song and Khitan so noisy in the past few days that he never had a good night's sleep. Now he was returning home. He had just bathed and changed clothes, and climbed into bed comfortably. His two beautiful concubines were as gentle as water.

With two pink fists beating his thighs, General Huangfu had just become a little sleepy and was about to embrace the beauty and sleep on the same bed, when Li Yu issued an urgent edict into the palace.

When he heard that Lin Renzhao was about to take action, the king asked him to lead his troops to Zhenhai to challenge the throne. Huangfu Jixun was shocked and immediately felt timid. Although he usually fought fiercely with Lin Renzhao, at that time he was a minister in the same palace, and Li Yu

Support him, is he afraid that Lin Huzi will eat him?

But this General Huangfu is an expert in internal fighting and an outsider in external fighting. Now he wants to show off his face and compete in real kung fu. Huangfu Jixun is still a little self-aware. Who is Lin Renzhao? He was the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty. He was famous all over the world for his bravery. I think back then

Chai Rong, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was invincible throughout the world.

Even the Khitan cavalry were beaten to a pulp by him. For such a fierce man, Lin Huzi dared to lead only four people against the wind to charge into the Ten Thousand Arrow Formation, burn the wooden bridge, and block Chai Rong's army from going south. How majestic is that? Really.

He turned his back and asked him to lead the army to attack Lin Renzhao. Isn't that just a meat bun beating a dog?

Seeing Huangfu Jixun's hesitation, Li Yu couldn't help but change his face and said angrily: "Your Majesty is a tiger general of our Tang Dynasty. He is loyal and sacrifices his life for the country. General Huangfu is the father of a tiger and his son. He relies on him for help, but now he is afraid of a traitor."

What?"

Huangfu Baozi rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "The king has misunderstood me. I am thinking that if we send troops to go there, we will definitely scare the enemy. After a big battle, even if Lin Renzhao is killed, our Tang country will suffer heavy losses." Chu Guogong

We sent someone secretly to send back the news. Lin Renzhao didn't know that his plot had been revealed at this time, so why don't we use a plan to kill him, so that Zhenhai's 100,000 navy troops can be recovered unscathed."

Li Yu was angry just now and just wanted to use the king's army to destroy the rebels. Now when he heard what Huangfu Jixun said, he couldn't help but suddenly realized. He lowered his head to think about it for a moment, and then a cold smile appeared on his face: "Come here to draw up an edict and announce it."

Lin Renzhao, the governor of Zhenhai Festival, will return to Beijing immediately without delay!"

"Even if the Song Kingdom does not go to trouble the Khitan, now the Khitan envoy has been killed and the entire Khitan post has been destroyed. With the arrogance of the Khitan people, they will definitely not give up. However, the Khitan also has internal problems. It is expected that they will fight

Then fight

Well, both sides will not throw heavy troops in a hurry. Such a battle cannot hurt bones and bones. The role of the leader of Jiangnan Kingdom at this time is very important. He is now urgently ordering General Lin Huzi to come back. Could it be that he has already done so?

Decided?"

Zhe Ziyu thought carefully as he walked: "Lin Huzi is a tiger general who firmly advocates a war against the Song Dynasty. If Li Yu brings him back, he should unite with the Khitan to fight against the Song Dynasty. If the Tang State helps, the Khitan Emperor may not

If we let go and fight a big war, each of the three countries will suffer losses. After the war, the imperial court will no longer be able to use troops in our northwest for at least ten years, so it can only adopt appeasement strategies. Is this what it will be like?"

She suddenly remembered what Yang Hao once said to her, and she couldn't help but feel sad: "I also thought that you really learned some exquisite divination skills from a famous teacher. Even if there are secrets in the world, how can they be so easy to see through? What about the Three Kingdoms of Song Dynasty?"

Within two years, troops will be used against the Tang State, and the Tang State will be destroyed. You told me not to do anything against heaven, but now things are dark, if you were in front of me, would you still say this?"

Just when she thought of this, a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed over. There were two thousand people in this group. The people on the street rushed to avoid them in a hurry. Zhe Ziyu hurried to the roadside inn.

I glanced at the stone steps and saw a commander on the horse, holding a spear in his hand, shouting loudly: "Quick, quick, quick, if anyone from the Lin family escapes, General Huangfu will punish him, so please cheer up."

"Which family is Huangfu Jixun going to harm again? Alas! Li Yu has no ambition, indulges in sensuality, and his government is corrupt. He also favors a playboy like Huangfu Jixun and entrusts him with important responsibilities. Fortunately, he still has Lin Hu.

He needs a loyal person like Zi to assist him, otherwise he will not be able to survive now, and he will have no choice but to become a romantic and talented man who sings about the wind and the moon, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in the flowers. Being the king of a country is really harmful to others and himself.

"

Zhe Ziyu was slandering Li Yu, and an ominous feeling suddenly came over his heart: "No! Huangfu Jixun is the commander of the Divine Guard Army, and he is responsible for the safety of Jinling. Is there any major case that requires dispatching his troops?"

What kind of person would be used to capture someone? The Lin family, which Lin family? The front is..."

The more Zhe Ziyu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He no longer cared about shocking the world. As soon as he lifted up his skirt, he started running wildly on the street. He crossed the "red sleeve move" and turned into the alley ahead. As soon as he entered the alley, Zhe Ziyu stopped suddenly.

.I saw soldiers standing in front of the Lin Mansion. The Lin Mansion had been surrounded, the door was open, and many soldiers swarmed in with guns and swords drawn.

Zhe Ziyu immediately ducked into a wine shop on the roadside, hiding in the crowd and watching the scene in front of her in horror. The drinkers next to her were all talking about it, but they were just as confused as she was. The Lin family's mansion was really not small, and those soldiers rushed into the house. Go, and soon there were screams in the mansion.

At this moment, he saw a man dressed as a short-clothed servant running towards him. Zhe Ziyu recognized him at a glance as the person serving Lin Huzi. He had been in and out of Zhenhai several times and had seen him beside Lin Huzi. The waiter immediately ducked out of the tavern.

The man was running towards the Lin Mansion when a person suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed his wrist. The man punched him and wanted to punch him. When he saw Zhe Ziyu's appearance, he couldn't help but be startled. Zhe Ziyu grabbed his wrist and his head was shaking. Without replying, he shouted in a low voice: "Come with me!"

The man turned around and saw the appearance in front of the Lin Mansion. He knew that the situation was over, so he did not struggle and followed Zhe Ziyu into a secluded alley nearby. Zhe Ziyu asked anxiously: "What happened to General Lin? Why did his house be raided?" "

When Zhe Ziyu asked, the loyal servant's eyes filled with tears and he fell to the ground crying: "Girl, my general... my general has gone..."

Zhe Ziyu lost his voice and said: "How could it be? General Lin was just ordered back to Jinling today, why did he die?"

The loyal servant cried: "The villain is waiting for the general outside the palace gate with his carriage. The general enters the palace to meet the general. When the general comes back, the villain goes up to greet him. The general's face is full of joy and he is very happy to the villain. It is said that the king of the country has finally cheered up and wants to repair the army and manage the affairs of the country. In order to protect the territory of Jiangdong's 19 states and millions of people, he has fought against the Song Dynasty to the end. The king of the country also gave him wine. The general has been diligently training his troops. Now he can finally It came in handy. The villain was very happy after hearing this. He quickly put down his footstool and was about to wait for the general to board the carriage. The general suddenly stopped and said that he had abdominal pain like a twist. The villain was greatly panicked and was about to help the general get into the carriage and go find him. While the doctors were treating him, the general suddenly vomited blood and the blood stains were black."

Zhe Ziyu Youran changed his color: "General Lin has been poisoned?"

The loyal servant sobbed: "It's true that Huangfu Jixun and a group of palace warriors were hiding in the palace gate. They were afraid of my general's bravery and did not dare to show up. He did not bring them until my general was poisoned and vomited blood. The people rushed out in a swarm and announced the king's decree, saying that my general tried to rebel and should be punished according to crime."

Zhe Ziyu said in a trembling voice: "How could this be? How is General Lin?"

The loyal servant said: "The general was inexplicably sad and angry. He struggled hard and broke away from the villain's support. He opened his eyes wide and pushed towards Huangfu Jixun. Huangfu Jixun was so frightened that he just dodged under the layers of guards. The general took one step. As soon as he vomited blood and walked to the palace gate, countless armored soldiers rushed out and blocked the palace gate. The general looked at the palace gate and bowed three times. He stood up and shouted to the sky: "Lin Huzi will die today because of the little slander. He would rather die on the battlefield and die for the country." .'"

The general shouted three times and lost his breath, but he still stood still. Huangfu Jixun had people surround him, but for a moment he still didn't dare to approach him. The villain suddenly woke up and hurriedly came back to report the news, taking advantage of their lack of time. Taking care of the villain, he didn't even dare to ask for the car. The villain fled to Yu Street, mixed with the crowd and rushed back, but...but the house..."

Zhe Ziyu was silent for a long time, and said with tears in his eyes: "You don't have to go back, now... it's too late."

When the loyal servant heard this, he cried loudly: "Huangfu Jixun, this traitor, is a villain who risked his life to avenge the general!"

Zhe Ziyu grabbed him, looked around, took out a dozen gold leaves and two fixing beads worth thousands of gold and stuffed them into his hands, and said: "Huangfu Jixun has a guilty conscience as a thief.

How can I be honored to be close to you? Don't cry. General Lin seeks benevolence and his name of loyalty will never be concealed by a cowardly king and slandering his ministers. There is some money here for you to take. Although Huangfu Jixun is cruel, he does not dare to kill women and children.

Baby, after the news subsides, you go and pick up the women and children of the Lin family, so that you can take care of General Lin's wives and descendants."

The man kept crying and Zhe Ziyu tried to persuade her for a long time before the man took the belongings and bowed to Zhe Ziyu three times. According to her instructions, he hid in a place for the time being. After the imperial court fell, he would take back the women and children of Lin Mansion and take care of them all year round.

At this time, more soldiers arrived near the Lin Mansion, and soon they began to search around the streets and alleys. Some of them were still holding Zhe Ziyu's portrait. Today was different from the past. Lin Renzhao was dead, and Huangfu Jixun beat him up.

With the charming "niece" idea, Ziyu didn't dare to stay for a long time and immediately ran away.

By the Mochou Lake, Zhe Ziyu, who had slightly changed his appearance, stood quietly under a tree by the lake. He looked at the broken lotus stems in the lake and was astonished: Lin Huzi was dead. This brave and capable first general of the Tang Dynasty had never died.

In front of the two armies, he actually died under a glass of poisonous wine from Li Yu. The funny thing is that Li Yu kept saying that he wanted to rebel, but he deceived him back to Jinling, but he didn't dare to hand him over to Yousi.

If you secretly trick him into drinking a cup of poisonous wine, is this person worthy of being the king of a country?

Zhe Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at a loss in his heart. He thought there was a bright future, but he didn't expect that things would turn around. Although Huangfu Jixun was a young boy, he was a real rat, and only Li Yu regarded him as a living treasure. Although he was jealous of Lin Renzhao,

But they absolutely did not have the guts to frame him for rebellion. Lin Renzhao was the most powerful general in the Tang State. The only one who couldn't wait for his death was the Song State. If the Song State framed Lin Renzhao and killed him, could it be that... he really wanted to use troops against the Tang State, so

Only then should we remove this biggest obstacle first?

Li Yu poisoned Lin Renzhao, would he still fight with Song Dynasty? After Lin Renzhao died, who else in the Tang Dynasty could take on this important task?

A gust of wind came, a gust of desolation, and the dead lotus and calyx on the water surface swayed for a while. Zhe Ziyu stood by the lake, his sleeves were fragrant and cold, and his heart was as painful as the lotus: I struggled hard and worked hard, but in the end I only ended up like this. Brother Hao, is it really like you?

As it is said, it is hard to disobey the destiny of heaven?

She gradually clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and secretly said in her heart: "No, I have to wait, waiting for the Song army to conquer the Tang Dynasty, waiting to see if the generals who conquer the Tang Dynasty are Pan Mei and Cao Bin. Not until the end.

I will never give up or give up even for a moment!"

To the west of Mochou Lake is the Qinhuai River. The Qinhuai River is the most prosperous place in Stone City. However, here, most of the people living on both sides of the Qinhuai River are boat people and servants. The houses are low, the alleys are twists and turns, and the city has three religions and nine streams.

Most of the foxes, rats, and even despicable prostitutes, scoundrels, and poor people with no livelihood hang out here.

There is a Wuyi Alley in Jinling City, where dignitaries live. This place is called Wuni Alley. Although there is only one word difference, the environment is completely different. Garbage and filth are everywhere. When it rains heavily,

, the feces were lifted up by the rain and flowed around. No one with only a little money in their pocket would live in such a place. However, Yang Hao and his party were hiding in this absolutely impossible slum at this moment.

In his plan, once he died, the Tang State would do its best to find the murderer, so he had to hide for a while and wait until the weather was calm before quietly sneaking to the west. However, what happened was beyond his expectation, and he "died".

The murderer immediately revealed his identity without hesitation, and soon afterwards the murderer also died. With the four cities sealed off, it was impossible to find the murderer.

Yang Hao waited for a few more days, and when he saw that it was calm, he disguised himself and went to the street to take a look at the scenery, preparing to set off westward early the next morning. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived on the street, he saw groups of officers and soldiers running rampant. Yang Hao

Hao hurriedly dodged and asked passers-by, only to learn that Lin Renzhao, the governor of Zhenhai, had tried to rebel and had been executed by Li Yu's order. Huangfu Jixun had raided the Lin Mansion under the order and was now sealing off the whole city to catch any fish that slipped through the net.

Yang Hao was shocked. He did not expect that when the portrait of Lin Renzhao was sent back, the Song Dynasty would do something so quickly, and Li Yu would also rush to cooperate with the Song Dynasty to eliminate his own pillars. The first lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhong

Li Yu can be regarded as a hero of his generation, but no matter how great his ancestors are, if he encounters a descendant who cannot afford to support him, his strength will come to an end. However, Li Yu destroyed his own family, which is his own fault. What should I do with Zhe Ziyu who is in the Lin family?

Yang Hao was worried and took the risk to sneak near the Lin Mansion to inquire about her. Most of the Lin family members were arrested, but a young son, a concubine and Zhe Ziyu escaped. The concubine and Lin Renzhao's young son Ben went to the temple to offer incense and returned.

On the way, he was shocked to hear that the Lin Mansion was raided, and immediately fled. A concubine and a

Huangfu Jixun didn't care about the child, but he was very unwilling to catch Mo Yiming. Now the Lin family has become a prisoner. In the past, Miss Mo, who was aloof and had close contacts with the Queen, even he did not dare to offend, now

But he can get whatever he wants. How could she escape?

Huangfu Jixun launched a fierce attack and sealed off the whole city, determined to catch her. Yang Hao sneaked near Lin Mansion and met several Tang soldiers. They stopped him and asked him if he had seen Zhe Ziyu's portrait.

After passing this person, Yang Hao realized that Zhe Ziyu had escaped, and he breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhe Ziyu's alertness and martial arts, he could only

If Huangfu Jixun had not been arrested, even if Huangfu Jixun dug three feet deep, he would never have found this woman who was more cunning than a fox. Now he was in a precarious situation. Although they were hiding secretly, they had too many people after all. In order to prevent the fish from being harmed, Yang

After Hao prevaricated the Tang soldiers, he immediately rushed back to Wuni Lane west of the Qinhuai River.

Yang Hao was hunched over, with a beard stuck to his chin, and walked into Wuni Alley with a walking stick. He looked around all the way, paying careful attention to the pedestrians on the left and right. He was about to turn to where he was hiding, but he suddenly caught sight of two people wherever he looked.

Ying Zheng was standing at the entrance of an alley, and he only glanced at the backs of the two people, and Yang Hao was shocked.

One of them must be a gangster in this alley, and the other one, although he only glanced at his back, is extremely familiar. Although that person is dressed in men's clothing, his back looks very similar to Ding Yuluo in his memory.

.On his way to Guangyuan to transport grain, Ding Yuluo was wearing men's clothing. The figure of this man's back was very similar to hers.

The rogue pointed at the alley and said something, and the man with a very striking resemblance to Ding Yuluo nodded, and then followed him into the alley. Yang Hao shook his head and smiled: "I must have seen it wrong, how could she come to Nan

Tang, what are you doing in a place like this again?"

Stinging here for the past two days, Yang Hao has not contacted Bisu yet, and does not know that Ding Yuluo has really arrived in Jinling City. He bent slightly and took a few steps forward, but stopped hesitantly: "

I can see Ziyu in Li Yu Palace, who will never appear there, can't I see Yuluo here? The rogues here are murderous, and women are trafficked everywhere. If he... really

It's her, if they have evil intentions..."

The more Yang Hao thought about it, the more worried he became. He couldn't rest assured until he found out the identity of that person, so he turned and walked toward the alley where they disappeared...
