"What do you want to do?" Han Daoxun saw that Feng Liao dared to use words to grab Zhao Wuji at this time. He was so angry that he was trembling all over and asked sternly.
"Sir, please forgive Feng Liao for being so arrogant and killing him as he pleased. Feng Liao has no complaints at all, but please forgive me for a moment."
Feng Liao's hands were tied, which was very inconvenient, so he knelt down and kowtowed to Han Daoxun, and told Zhao Wuji,
"Zhao Wuji, you and others will detain the master, Zhao Kuo, and Han Laoshan, kill Zhou Zhi, and then prepare the carriages and horses. We will leave the city at dawn!"
"Who dares to take me?" Han Daoxun glared, stared at Zhao Wuji, and asked sternly, "Do you want to see the land of Jianghuai covered with corpses and rivers of blood for your own benefit?"
Seeing Zhao Wuji's hesitant look, Feng Liao knew that he was struggling hard in his heart. At the critical moment, he did not care about restraint, stood up and refuted Han Daoxun:
"Sir, if you enter the palace at this time, you will not be able to solve this crisis. Chen Xingmo, the young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the permanent servant of Chongwen Palace, is from Anning Palace. You may not be able to pass Chen Xingmo in the first place. How can you keep this secret?
Does Your Majesty know about it? Not to mention that if there is any disturbance around Your Majesty, Anning Palace will inevitably jump over the wall. How can the situation be delayed until Chuzhou soldiers and horses cross the river? There is no solution to the crisis in Jinling. My lord, everything is important first to preserve your usefulness.
ah!"
"Whether the crisis can be resolved or not is not up to you. Your Majesty has experienced many crises during his military life. As long as this matter can be avoided from the surveillance of the Palace of Anning and His Majesty knows the secret, Your Majesty will have a countermeasure. Your Majesty has been guarding An Ning all these years.
The palace does not last for a day or two. If you follow your selfish desires and conceal it without retribution, Your Majesty will die suddenly, and the Chu government and the public will be unprepared, and the Jianghuai River will be bloody for thousands of miles, with corpses everywhere!" Han Daoxun stared at Feng Liao solemnly.
I won't be frightened by Feng Liao's sophistry.
"My lord, please report to the palace. Zhao Wuji, please go to the capital of Shu immediately and inform the young master to retreat directly to Xuzhou. Even if you are guilty of deceiving the emperor, your majesty and King Xin will never take advantage of your loyalty to the country."
How is the young master doing?" Zhao Kuo stood up at this time, first trying to stabilize Zhao Wuji with words, and then sternly accused Feng Liao, "Although the young master has committed the crime of deceiving the king, he is protecting himself. Feng Liao, you are worried about you.
There’s no chance for the Feng family to recover, right?”
"You're such a mouthful," Feng Liao didn't expect Zhao Kuo to be so sharp-tongued and directly threw dirty water on him. When he wanted to think of words to strengthen Zhao Wuji's confidence, he summoned the guards, especially Han Qian, who only listened to Zhao Wuji's orders.
The young man from the family came in and put Han Daoxun and others under house arrest. Zhao Kuo suddenly put the knife in its scabbard and hit the chest of Zhao Wuji who was struggling fiercely with the handle of the knife.
Zhao Wuji was caught off guard. How could he have expected that Zhao Kuo would suddenly attack him?
He intuitively felt that Zhao Kuo's knife hilt hit him horizontally, with lightning speed and tremendous force, almost collapsing his sternum.
His body suddenly fell back, but Zhao Kuo, who had the upper hand, was faster and punched him in the chest again, causing his eyesight to suddenly turn black...
Feng Liao wanted to keep Zhao Wuji by Han Daoxun's side, but when he went to kill Zhou Zhi, he did not inform Zhao Wuji. It was only when Feng Liao was detained that Zhao Wuji woke up and rushed over. He didn't even have time to put on the armor, and his body was injured again.
He was not as strong as Kong Xirong, and he didn't expect Zhao Kuo to be so skilled. After receiving these two hard blows, his reaction was completely slowed down.
Zhao Kuo then stabbed Zhao Wuji on the neck, completely knocking Zhao Wuji unconscious.
Seeing this scene, Feng Liao felt a chill in his heart. When he was about to say something else, Zhao Kuo raised his hand and clamped it like iron pliers, clasping his throat like thunder, making him unable to utter a single word.
Then Zhao Kuo found a piece of smelly rag from nowhere, stuffed it directly into Feng Liao's mouth, and tied his hands behind his back, telling him not to say another word.
Hearing the noise inside, several guards waiting in the yard pushed the door open and came in. They were surprised and confused when they saw the situation inside.
Han Daoxun adjusted his clothes a little and said: "Feng Liao, Zhao Wuji and the following criminals, Han Laoshan, please imprison them in the woodshed and take care of them. I will take care of them when I come back. The others will either guard the house or prepare the carriages and horses. Remember
Don’t be the least bit panicked…”
Zhao Wuji and Feng Liao were both under control, and there was no leader. Who among the remaining guards and even the young Xi family could and dared to disobey Han Daoxun's power?
What's more, they didn't know what happened. They thought that maybe it was Zhao Wuji and Feng Liao who had committed something. At this time, they were just imprisoning them first, not killing them. They were thinking of waiting for the young master to make a decision.
They didn't talk about anything else until they returned from Shu. At that moment, two people helped Han Laoshan, picked up Zhao Wuji and Feng Liao, dragged them to the backyard, and imprisoned them in the woodshed.
Han Laoshan didn't have a good impression of the scheming and previously aloof eldest son of the Feng family. When he went to the woodshed, he took a hemp rope and tied Feng Liao to a beam. He was also deeply impressed by Zhao Wuji's shooting of Fan Wucheng.
, I was also afraid that he would be injured if he acted too radically, and that it would be difficult to explain to the young lady and Mr. Zhao. When I saw that he just fainted, I felt relieved a little, and tied him up carefully with ropes.
Feng Liao was so anxious that he almost fainted, but he could do nothing at this time. He thought that maybe the third prince would never be able to take the throne after all, and maybe the Feng family should finally sink.
Although Feng Liao strictly followed Han Qian's instructions in the letter, there was one thing he could not deny Zhao Kuo's "rebuke", that is, he indeed pinned the hope of the Feng family's recovery on the third prince's enthronement!
Feng Liao was in a state of confusion. He had a high self-esteem and was like a trapped animal at this moment.
Although some of the elites of the Longque Army are arranging to return to Jinling, the transfer of three to five thousand elites to the Taowu Army Complex in Jinling in the name of garrison requires a process. It is impossible for Zhao Wuji to lead his army of fifty soldiers in six or seven days.
You can take a boat from Yueyang.
Can Han Daoxun successfully bypass the surveillance of Anning Palace and secretly tell the truth to Emperor Tianyou?
And how will Emperor Tianyou react? Is it possible to seize the last moment of his life, successfully hide it from the sight of Anning Palace, mobilize Chuzhou soldiers and horses to cross the river, and deliver a fatal blow to Anning Palace and the prince's family?
And if Emperor Tianyou knew that Han Qian and the third prince were concealing such crucial information, how would he treat Han Qian and the third prince?
Feng Liao's eyes went dark, as if it was the darkest night before dawn. He couldn't see clearly what the next situation in Jinling might be like and where it might develop.
I don’t know if the Liang army will take the opportunity to invade the south once Dachu falls into civil strife and cannot be quelled quickly.
Following this, Shu's reaction will become unpredictable.
If the third prince has no chance of being crowned king, his marriage to Princess Qingyang might even go to waste, right?
After all, it is impossible for the Lord of Shu, Wang Jian, to marry his daughter to a person who may be destined to be eliminated by the new emperor of Chu, unless the Lord of Shu, Wang Jian, believes that the foundation of Tanzhou is solid!
Feng Liao's mind was in a mess, and he soon saw the light outside the house clearing through the firewood door, and heard the sound of carriages and horses being prepared in the yard. Han Daoxun accompanied Zhao Kuo and others as they left Lanting Lane.
It seemed like it was crushing his heart...
…………
…………
The wind howls and the snow falls.
In Weishi County, south of Bianjing in the Liang Kingdom, the suburbs are covered in snow.
A group of knights in black appeared in front of a manor east of Weishi County when the snowflakes made it hard to open their eyes.
Someone at the end of the cavalry used a big tree branch to sweep away the horse's hoof prints, and the remaining traces were quickly completely covered up by the wind and snow.
Such a cavalry team of more than 200 people appeared in the countryside of Weishi County, 70 to 80 miles away from Bianjing City, without alarming anyone.
The manor occupies a large area, but it is quite ordinary. In addition to a dozen brick and tile houses, the manor is mainly thatched houses. It is only surrounded by hedges as walls, enclosing five or six hundred acres of land, just like an ordinary outside Bianjing City.
In a village, the wooden door of the manor was crooked, as if it would collapse if pushed.
The cavalry appeared in front of the gate of the manor. Two men wearing cloaks to protect themselves from the wind and snow ran over from a thatched house not far away. They held knives at their waists and protruded from the cloaks. They opened the wood door and asked the leader: "Master
Where is my father?"
Without waiting for the leader to answer, the knight in black separated to both sides, revealing King Yong Zhu Yu who was surrounded by the crowd.
King Yong Zhu Yu was wearing a black cloak, and his face was hidden in the cloak. His face was ashen, and he walked silently through the chaimen and walked into the manor.
Chen Kun signaled more than two hundred knights to enter a few thatched houses inside Chaimen to hide their whereabouts. He followed Yong Wang Zhu Yu and walked towards the building complex composed of a dozen brick and tile houses to the north.
The dozens of brick and tile houses on the north side of the manor may not seem large in scale, but the guards here are even tighter, and you can see through the windows of each house that they are packed with soldiers.
They didn't come out either. When they saw King Yong Zhu Yu passing by, they all just paid attention and saluted.
Chen Kun accompanied Yong Wang Zhu Yu to a relatively tall house in the north. There were dozens of green-armored guards guarding the porch, with faces as cold as statues. When he saw Yong Wang Zhu Yu approaching, he saluted and said, "I have met Your Highness.
"
After a while, a creaking sound was heard, the closed wooden door opened, and an old man in black with an old face as wrinkled as dry tree bark walked out of the dimly lit small hall, signaling the Qingjia guards to step back.
, then he walked to King Yong Zhu Yu and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Concubine Rong's body is parked inside..."
What?
Chen Kun was struck by thunder, and Concubine Rong died?
Seeing the ferocious look on King Yong's face from time to time in the past ten days, Chen Kun knew that something fatal had happened in Bianjing, but he never thought that it was Concubine Rong who died, and it was "Rong'er" who was King Yong's pet and treasure.
Die!
It's just that Concubine Rong passed away, whether due to illness, epidemic, or accident, so why should the news be blocked to prevent even the slightest leak?
Why is Lei Jiuyuan, who has not been seen in the past ten years and was invited by King Yong to the palace three years ago, so cautious?
Could it be that Concubine Rong’s death hid some shocking secret?
Did the third stinging tiger secret letter sent to Lishan more than ten days ago contain the cause of Concubine Rong's death?
