The curtains of the ship quickly changed color, blending in with the crowds of people, and nothing strange could be seen anymore. Several geishas sat on the side of the ship holding their pipas, arranging them one by one, and played and sang:
The rain is gurgling outside the curtain, and the spring mood is fading. Luo Jian can't bear the cold at the fifth watch. In the dream, I don't know that I am a guest, and I am greedy for pleasure for a while.
Don't lean on the railing when you are alone. There are boundless rivers and mountains. It is easy to say goodbye and difficult to see others. The flowers fall when the water flows and the spring is gone. Heaven and earth are gone.
The man in a black shirt stood on the bow of the boat, looking calmly at the singing and dancing in the West Lake and the drunken life and death of the dignitaries. There was no hidden danger.
But which ship will shoot a hidden arrow again
"Master, let's go back quickly. It's too unsafe here."
He nodded and looked at the people who had changed their clothes. They were a group of masters who were good at using hidden weapons. He had to admit that although Qin Hui had done many evil things, he was still very devoted to him.
Wu Qimai sighed: "It's a pity that Qin Hui died early. If he hadn't died, it would have been much easier for us."
He smiled: "If Qin Hui doesn't die, it won't be fun."
If Qin Hui had not died, how could he have thought of playing Zhao Deji himself
When the boat docked, there were three cunning rabbits burrowing.
It is a very ordinary courtyard, and there is nothing weird about it in the dim lights of the players.
Everyone walked into the house quietly.
Several well-dressed people greeted him and saluted respectfully: "Sir, there is news..."
"What did the Wolf Lord say?"
"The wolf wants the master to go back and make a decision."
He sat down, drank a cup of tea, and smiled bitterly.
He Ci must be thinking about where to go for a vacation with his large group of beauties when spring comes. How could he be thinking about going to the south and the north to fight
Military rations and war horse equipment are not as good as painting his palace of ecstasy.
He closed his eyes for a long time, as the saying goes, time is also destiny. That's it.
Daikin's strength has been exhausted, and it is really beyond the capabilities of manpower.
"Master, in that case, we might as well go back."
"Go back?" He was very excited. In this case, there was no need to go back. What were you going to do? Are you fighting cocks and hunting with those vulgar Jurchen nobles in Yanjing again? Listen to Lady 28’s super fierce lion roar
"Sir, I heard that there is a famous doctor in Yangzhou who is famous all over the world. We might as well go and have a look..."
That's fine, even seeing a famous doctor is better than going back home.
However, before that, it is more interesting to tease Zhao Deji.
"Wu Qimai, you are so busy setting things up, let's give Zhao Deji some color first."
"yes."
On this day, the island was exceptionally warm with spring and flowers blooming.
Zhao Deji was enjoying a drink with a beautiful woman in his tent when a eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, someone has sent something."
"Open… "
The eunuch didn't dare read it, so he could only hand it over.
Zhao Deji suddenly changed his color. It was a printed booklet, which contained a detailed scandal about his biological mother. He said that if he did not agree to the conditions, it would be made public. This booklet was separate from the previous portrait, and it was obviously not the same one. A personal gift.
"Who sent it?"
"A soldier sent it, saying it was from Lin'an. He thought it was an emergency military situation."
Lin'an, King Qin.
Could it be that King Qin still has internal agents in Lin'an
He was startled. Suddenly he saw a few words on the pamphlet:
Zhao Deji personally initiated it!
Someone who dares to call me by his first name like that.
What surprised him was not these words, but the handwriting - it was obviously familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Such handwriting, such strength, without more than ten years of hard practice, is absolutely masterful. Not available.
I was filled with fear and felt uncomfortable all over my body, but I felt that this military camp was no longer so safe.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Ning."
Liu Ning rushed in and knelt down.
"Liu Ning, how many days can you take down King Qin?"
"Back to Your Majesty... I haven't been able to find an effective breakthrough yet, and the army I mobilized didn't arrive so quickly..."
"Excuses, they are all excuses... I just want to know when will you be able to annihilate King Qin?"
"I...I can't be precise to a certain day..."
"Trash, idiots. In the past, Yue Peng was able to kill the Dongting water pirates within 7 days. You idiots, you can't even take down a mere pirate... Idiots, idiots..."
Liu Ning was sweating profusely and just kowtowed: "I am incompetent... I am incompetent..."
"I will give you another month. If you cannot completely eliminate them, you will be dismissed on the spot. Remember, you must take the head of King Qin! All the women on his island will be captured alive."
Liu Ning could only kowtow and accept the order.
"Come, please return to Lin'an immediately."
"yes."
That night, Zhao Deji set off secretly and rushed back to Lin'an.
This day is already late spring, and the sun is full of heat.
Early in the morning, several "posters" were placed in the cabinet - all photos of Zhao Deji and his two younger brothers.
The painting didn't explain what the relationship was, but everyone already knew it in their hearts.
In His Majesty's absence, the chief ministers and assistants did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they reported to the Empress Dowager.
Empress Dowager Wei had no master, so she could only ask Wu Jinnu to accompany her.
When Empress Dowager Wei saw the paintings all over the table, she was immediately dumbfounded. Her legs felt weak, and so did her hands. She picked them up and immediately threw them away, trembling all over.
"These things... take them and throw them away, throw them all away... They are completely unlucky things..."
"Queen Mother, someone sent a threat, asking the Queen Mother to agree to their conditions, otherwise, two people will be killed in Hangzhou..."
Kill two people
"Queen Mother, who are those two people?"
Those two people! It's his own son.
Wu Jinnu saw the Queen Mother with tears streaming down her face, panicked and couldn't bear it, and immediately said: "Take down all these paintings first."
"yes."
"Who sent the conditions?"
"I don't know. The cabinet received it from the inspector at work today."
It's like this every time. The opponent's attack is clean and neat, and there is no way to find out. In the large Lin'an City, even if every house is searched and every house is arrested, what will happen
"Quick, catch them, catch them no matter what..."
"Should we send someone to tell His Majesty?"
"No! Don't tell His Majesty!"
The Empress Dowager Wei was hysterical. Seeing the Empress Dowager lose her composure, the chief ministers and ministers all felt as if they had been caught.
"Queen Mother, what should we do?"
Empress Dowager Wei was silent and just wailing. Wu Jinnu could only give an order on her behalf: "Investigate secretly first and don't let this matter become public."
"yes."
At this moment, I suddenly heard an announcement: "The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone was stunned, His Majesty is back!
His Majesty came back in such a hurry.
Empress Dowager Wei subconsciously wanted to avoid her son, especially Wu Jinnu, who was more frightened than she was. She was very aware of the son's habits today. Of course, the less people knew about such a thing, the better. It would be too much to get involved by herself. It's unwise.
However, the two of them could no longer escape because Zhao Deji had already walked in in a hurry.
All posters have been destroyed.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, but his eyes fell on his mother, looking at her body like chaff. A strong sense of humiliation surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth secretly, mother, what was she doing out here
Didn't she lose enough people
However, in front of everyone, how can he lose his face of being filial to the emperor? - How can I slap myself in the face of someone who gave me half of my country in exchange
"Queen Mother, please go back."
"Your Majesty..."
"Ms. Wu, send the Queen Mother back immediately."
The two frightened women immediately retreated. Zhao Deji looked at the embarrassed chief minister and said angrily: "Immediately issue an order to impose martial law throughout the city and conduct a thorough search for the lawbreakers."
"Your Majesty... where do we start investigating?"
Zhao Deji was furious: "Trash, you still want to ask me?"
The chief assistant knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.
"Catch all the suspicious people. Remember, it is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than let one person go!"
"yes."
"Everyone, come in..."
In the imperial study, some senior palace officials stood there, waiting for His Majesty's orders.
Zhao Deji slowly took out something, which was just a piece of torn paper with clear handwriting:
"Look at it, do you recognize this handwriting?"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why His Majesty asked such a question.
"Your Majesty... this handwriting has never been seen before..."
Zhao Deji was sitting on the throne, feeling very uneasy. Even more uneasy than knowing that he was threatened by his mother's scandal. It was as if a real life-threatening ghost was silently approaching, but he didn't know who it was.
Night falls.
The formerly bustling city of Hangzhou was suddenly immersed in an atmosphere of terror.
They were deployed almost the whole time, and the streets and alleys were filled with Imperial Guard troops.
It was like the Jin Army was coming again. Men, women, old and young were more or less inferior, and countless people were harassed and arrested by mistake.
In the quiet garden, Jin Wushu was also a little restless.
"Sir, Zhao Deji has taken action, what should we do?"
"Have the two children settled down?"
"Settled in..."
He was still worried and stood up: "Let's go out and take a look."
"Master, are you going out at this time?"
He said calmly: "If you don't go out at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out again. Let's go, let's go now."
To the northwest of Hangzhou City, there is a cave where gold is sold, a place where dignitaries and dignitaries hang out.
At this time, the imperial army has not yet arrived, and the place is still lively and lively, with the sounds of madams, prostitutes, and prostitutes coming and going. Some people are in a hurry and are walking out through the city gate here.
Jin Wushu and others were also mixed in the crowd, and the candied haws sellers, storytellers, and jugglers were all blurred together under the light. At this moment, chaotic sounds were suddenly heard.
"The officers and soldiers are here..."
"Close the city gate..."
"Quick, everyone, get out of the way..."
…
People were frightened when they were suddenly hit by such an impact. No one moved away, but ran desperately towards the city gate. The two veterans in charge of guarding the city were stunned and were scattered. The city gate suddenly opened wide.
Jin Wushu and others also rushed out immediately.
In the chaos, I suddenly saw a tall figure.
"Master... let's go..."
But he followed the figure and chased him out.
"Master... this way..."
When Wu Qimai caught up with him, he found that he had already run in the other direction. Everyone was shocked and immediately chased him together.
There is a dense forest in front of you, and when the crowd comes here, there are few sounds.
Jin Wushu stopped, and there was no one in the dark night.
Wu Qimai and others caught up with him panting: "Master... what did you find?"
"It's him! It's him!"
"who?"
"The fat monk Lu Tiha who fought in Lin'an City!"
King Qin heard that it made sense, and Hua Rong immediately said: "Let's hold a military meeting right away."
King Qin saw that her voice was eager and filled with a strange spirit, and he felt slightly uneasy: "Girl, you want to participate too?"
"Yes. I have been dormant for so long."
"Your body..."
She said stubbornly: "My health is much better."
King Qin did not disobey her again and called everyone to discuss matters that night.
