Feng Yi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The banner proposed by Miao and Liu was "Kill the Eunuch Party". If he went back this time, he would die on his own initiative. But when he saw Lu Yihao's hand pressing the sword, he knew that refusing would be death, so it was better to risk everything. , go back and find out, if you can make meritorious deeds, you will be a lifetime of glory and wealth.
Feng Yi disguised himself as a Confucian scholar and met his cousin Wu Zhan at the gate of the city.
Wu Zhan and Miao Liu secretly flirted with each other. On the day of the rebellion, it was he who opened the city gate and made Miao Liu's rebellion successful. When Feng Yi saw him, he forced himself to calm down and called him affectionately based on his ranking: "Wu Erqi, this time my family I’m here to give you great wealth.”
"What wealth?"
"Prime Minister Lu summoned four generals and gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses. They are going to kill them soon. Miao Liu will not be able to resist. You opened the city gate to meet the enemy that day. It turns out that those who don't know are not guilty. Why don't you take the blame and perform meritorious service today?"
When Wu Zhan heard this, he was very moved. He hesitated and said, "I'm just afraid that the officials will be reinstated and killed."
Feng Yi chuckled: "In front of the officials, I will protect your wealth."
Feng Yi was one of the most trusted eunuchs of the emperor. When Wu Zhan saw him patting his chest and making a solemn promise, he did not dare to blatantly do so. After hearing this from a distant relative, he weighed it and agreed.
Feng Yi then quietly entered the palace in disguise.
When he met the palace maids and eunuchs along the way, he said hello and never revealed his identity. Then, he quietly went to meet the queen mother. He took out Lu Yihao's autograph, knelt down and said, "Several generals will soon raise troops to serve the king."
Tianwei and the Queen Mother looked at each other and said happily: "There is hope for the great revival of the Song Dynasty."
However, the two of them soon became worried. What would happen if Miao and Liu launched an army and killed the little emperor and the royal family? Tianwei said: "I have been searching in the imperial city for the past few days and found a reliable place where the Empress Dowager, the young emperor and the Wenlong boy can hide first at night."
"And you?"
"I'll go see Brother Ninth first and inform him."
After some deliberation with Miao and Liu, they agreed that Tianwei would go see Zhao Deji every three days.
Zhao Deji lived in Xianzhong Temple with some palace ladies and concubines. He was under house arrest here for only ten or twenty days, but he seemed to be ten years older. There were faint traces of white hair. The feeling of being abandoned was more frustrating and frightening than fleeing at sea.
After he escaped across the Yangtze River and contracted sexual intercourse, he took many aphrodisiacs under the guidance of Wang Jixian and became more and more interested in sexual intercourse. However, during the ten or twenty days here, he no longer had the slightest interest in women. .Although Zhang Yingying, Wu Jinnu and others served him in every possible way, he had no interest in being intimate with them. He was like an old monk, getting up early and going to bed late, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, hoping for the blessings of Bodhisattva.
Tianwei came in and called Brother Ninth, but when she saw that his eyes were blank and the blood bubbles in his mouth were so big that he could not open his mouth, she suddenly felt more intense pity and sympathy for her only brother. She knelt down beside him and pulled him hand: "Brother Ninth, Prime Minister Lu's revolt has been released, and troops will be raised soon..."
Zhao Deji immediately became energetic, his eyes lit up, and he said with difficulty: "Really?"
"It's true. Yue Xuanfu and his wife are the pioneers of King Qin. Mrs. Yue once went to the palace to discuss important matters with the Queen Mother. She and her husband will definitely not let down Ninth Brother's trust... "
He murmured: "I knew Rong'er would be like this! Rong'er never failed me after all!"
Tianwei added: "Wen Long's son and the young emperor are now in the harem. To prevent the rebels from committing crimes, I have made some arrangements."
"That's great. Tianwei, thank you for your hard work." He sighed, "Rong'er left her son in the palace, so I know she is loyal. I must protect the child's safety."
"Brother Ninth, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the children will be safe."
Tianwei said goodbye and came out, and saw Wu Jinnu and Zhang Yingying waiting at the door. After moving to Xianzhong Temple, the two of them tried every means to treat the eunuchs and guards well and win their loyalty to the emperor.
Zhang Yingying lowered her voice: "The slave family is worried that the two thieves will do harm."
Although Tianwei usually didn't like the palace fights between the two of them, she knew that they were really sincere towards Brother Ninth and protected her to the death. At this time, they were in the same boat, and it was a different feeling, so she said: "You two ladies have worked hard, and I will definitely protect them these days." Take all possible precautions.”
"The servants have no power to tie the chicken, so they can only burn incense and worship Buddha, asking for the blessings of Emperor Haotian and our ancestors."
Wuliting.
On this day, there was heavy wind and snow, and it had already entered the coldest day of the year.
Hua Rong arrived here just in the evening as agreed in the letter.
There were snowflakes flying all around, making people unable to open their eyes.
From a distance, a slender figure walked towards her, it was vaguely Wanwan.
Hua Rong wore an extremely heavy robe and stepped forward to greet her. As soon as she saw Wanwan's face, a big net came over her hood, and Hua Rong shouted: "It's really you..."
The seven or eight men in black who had gathered around suddenly saw that the "Hua Rong" voice was that of a man. Under the thick robe, a short gun was pulled out. Then, there was a loud "bang" and two thunderbolt bombs exploded. , a crowd of swords, guns, swords and halberds retreated in panic. The person in the net had cut off the net and rushed out. Then, there was a crisp voice: "Catch..."
A spear was thrown, Yue Peng raised his backhand to catch it, and started sweeping. Behind the horse, Hua Rong held a bow and arrow in his hand, aimed and fired two arrows in succession. The two fell down in response. She took a step forward and swept a man's face. On his face, he said loudly: "Who is instructing you? Where is Princess Wanwan?"
The man in black blew a whistle, and immediately, more than a dozen men in black rushed out, and one person shouted: "Kill these two people."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yue Pengju jumped forward with a few steps, and he and his wife were back to back, and loudly said: "What do you want from the rats?"
The leader sneered: "If you still want the princess' life, just accept death."
As expected, Wanwan fell into the hands of these people.
The couple didn't need to say anything, and they fought desperately. At this time, another thunderbolt was fired. No one had ever seen such a powerful firearm. They were shocked. More and more corpses fell. Yue Pengju took advantage of the chaos. Seven or eight people were picked off with long spears. When the few remaining people saw that they were defeated, the leader whistled again, and the rest quickly retreated.
The two stopped and looked at the scattered corpses. Hua Rong was about to take off the masked man's face when he heard Yue Pengju say: "Be careful, it's poisonous..."
She retracted her hand, and sure enough, after a while, the corpses began to rot into water, exactly the same as the scene they saw last time. Both of them were surprised, who with such a powerful force could secretly raise so many dead soldiers
Yue Peng took a step forward and held her hand tightly. She felt relieved and suddenly thought about what a terrible scene it would be if she came alone.
"Thanks to the few thunderbolts that King Qin brought me last time. Otherwise, I would have been trapped in the net. It's a pity that I couldn't find any clues."
Hua Rong just kept silent, not because he was not grateful to King Qin, but because he didn't know what to say and was worried about Wanwan: "Pengju, they didn't expect you to accompany me. But you should go back. The troops are about to start, otherwise I can't afford to delay important events."
"Okay, I'll ask them to protect you and be careful in everything."
She held her husband's very rough hand and let go after a while: "Don't worry, Feng Yi is here, everything will be fine. I will ask for news about Wanwan first, and I will see my son soon. I want to stay with him We can rest assured if we are together."
"Be careful when you get back, don't push yourself, and put safety first in everything. I have sent someone to follow Wanwan's news, so you can't act rashly."
"Um."
At this time, the two of them had already moved some distance away. Yue Pengju blew a whistle, and several guards were ordered to come out. After everyone disguised themselves, they changed direction, got rid of the tracking, and headed towards Lin'an City.
He rode a horse for a distance and then turned back. At this time, his wife's figure had been submerged in the wind and snow. Although he had reached a safe place and had enough people to protect him, he was very uneasy in his heart, and he actually had a fear of separation and death. However, he could no longer catch up and could only ride back, anxiously hoping to lead his army back to the capital immediately.
Hua Rong was very nervous along the way. What would happen if Wanwan fell into the hands of these people? Peng Ju was ordered to raise his troops, and he would not dare to delay. Otherwise, the vanguard would fail, and Zhao Deji, not to mention Wan Wan, would not be able to protect him. However, how could he bear to sacrifice Wan Wan? Without sacrifice, how can you save it by yourself? She was so confused that she no longer cared about the danger and immediately left for the palace.
On this day, Zhai Ruwen had just arrived at the capital hall to work when he saw Fu Miao rushing in angrily with a list of papers in his hand: "Prime Minister Zhai, please take a look. We originally wanted to bring peace to the world, but we were accused by Lu Yihao of being traitors and wanted to raise troops." Crusade…”
What he was holding in his hand was Lu Yihao's personal crusade that Ju Zhong brought back. Liu Zhengyan also said: "Today, hundreds of such notices were posted in the city. It seems that there must be a spy."
Zhai Ruwen felt happy after seeing this, but said, "What will happen to the two lieutenants?"
Miao Fu said angrily: "It's Lu Yihao who is causing trouble. He must be removed first."
Liu Zhengyan said: "We might as well tell the Queen Mother of the Ming Dynasty to dismiss Lu Yihao immediately."
Zhai Ruwen was unable to comment at this time, so Miao Liu immediately notified his confidants to send troops to a small town northeast of Lin'an in order to cut off the advance route of Yue Pengju and others.
Miaofu said: "Now that there are spies in the city, it is better to mobilize soldiers and horses to replace the guards of Xianzhong Temple."
Zhai Ruwen could no longer remain silent, so he said: "No, you two disturbed the Holy Master like this and gave Lu Yihao and others an excuse."
The two of them couldn't think of any clever ideas for the moment, so they immediately retreated.
Zhai Ruwen knew that when they returned at this time, they must consult with the think tank. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Ma Su coming in from the side door of the capital hall.
Zhai Ruwen was very happy to see him. When he explained the situation, Ma Su said, "I have an idea. I will take this opportunity to persuade Miao Liu."
"Isn't it dangerous to go door-to-door to lobby?"
Ma Su said with emotion: "Since I agreed to allow Mr. Lu to enter the city, I have put my life and death aside."
Zhai Ruwen saw his awe-inspiring expression and was very fond of him. He was about to say a few words of comfort when he saw the curtain inside lifted up and it was Princess Tianwei who came out. When Zhai Ruwen presented his speech to the Queen Mother alone, the curtain was not lowered. How could he see it? Tianwei was not surprised when she came out, but Ma Su was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Tianwei finally found the opportunity to see Ma Su. Her heart was filled with excitement and she was speechless. She just looked at him blankly for several times. However, Ma Su looked very calm and saluted according to etiquette. Tianwei came back to her senses and felt in her heart Doubtful, how did Ma Su transform from a pirate to a court official? How did he become Lu Yihao's guest? Why would he take the risk to come here? Suddenly, there was a vague expectation and a vague uneasiness in my heart. Could it be because of himself
