Shu Blossoms

Chapter 58 Pursuit
"Why wait for the future..."

A clear voice came from behind everyone, with a boldness that was as sharp as a blade, "Tonight's battle has not yet been decided. It seems that His Highness Tuoba is not the way to leave without saying goodbye."

When Tuobayu saw that it was Han Shidi who was chasing after him, he finally changed his face.

"This temple has been away from home for a long time, and tonight is the night of mid-autumn. The homesickness is really unbearable, and I have to return to my hometown overnight. Thanks to your country's care for the past few months, it is the fault of this temple that we can't say goodbye. Your Majesty Zhou conveys the apology of this hall."

Tuobayu looked at Han Shidi and replied in a deep voice, the speed of the boat under his feet was even faster.

"Since His Royal Highness Tuoba insists on leaving, it's not good for you to stay here, but please also ask the people around you to stay."

Han Shidi's long sword pointed at Xia Houqing.

"He is the son of my great Wei general, Xiahou Chu. This time he was ordered to come to the palace to take him back to Wei. He himself is also serving in the court. Naturally, he wants to follow me back to Wei, so how can he stay in Dazhou?"

Tuobayu naturally knew why Han Shidi wanted to keep Xia Houqing. He was considered a remnant of the previous dynasty. He even dared to show up in Kyoto this time. Han Shidi naturally couldn't let him come and go.

Second, Xia Houqing made a lot of trouble in the capital tonight, and the entire Jiankang people could not wait to peel him off and cramp.

Fortunately, they were already on the boat at this time. As long as Han Shidi's boat was not available, there was nothing they could do.

When Tuobayu was rejoicing, he suddenly saw a dozen or so boats about the size of them appearing on the opposite river out of thin air. There were ten people standing on each boat. Those boats stopped near the port, and Han Shidi flew away. Jumped onto the front boat.

Zheng Wei and the others also saw clearly that the people on the boat were actually the other three princes of the Han family.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Zheng Wei couldn't help shouting, "Brother Han, can we board the boat together?"

When Han Shidi heard the words, he looked over and saw Zheng Wei's black and white almond eyes staring at him.

Zheng Wei smiled in surprise, turned around and told Zheng Heng, "Brother, you are injured, stay here and wait for me."

Without waiting for Zheng Heng to protest, he jumped onto the boat in three or two steps like a little wild cat.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Erlang put down Peng Huai, who had closed his eyes, and told others to take care of him.

The sons and brothers were worried about Liu Erlang and wanted to follow him on board the boat. Erlang Han smiled elegantly and said lightly: "The fishing boat is simple, at most one person can be boarded."

The incident happened suddenly tonight, and they couldn't mobilize the military ships in a hurry, so they had to requisition a few fishing boats docked on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Everyone pushed the clever Qiao Ye to follow.

After delaying this moment, Tuo Bayu and the others had already arrived a few miles away. Under the cool moonlight, only a little black shadow remained.

"Brother Han, don't let Xia Houqing escape. He should have planned the fire in the West City and South City tonight."

Zheng Wei was a little anxious and couldn't help but remind her.

"More than that, Xia Houqing also participated in the assassination of Fu's remnants in the palace tonight. He provided the map in the palace."

Han Dalang only looked ahead and did not speak, but Erlang Han Shiying gave her the explanation.

Zheng Wei was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Has the assassin caught it?"

"No, Xie Sheng recruited."

Han Erlang's voice was light, but the content of his words was like a thunderbolt.

Xie Sheng, the eldest son of the auxiliary minister Xie Hui, his words and deeds not only represent the position of his father Xie Hui, but also affect the fate of the entire Xie Clan in Chen County.

According to Zheng Wei's understanding of Zhou Di's uncle, he is a wise man who is diligent in politics and loves the people, but he also has his own fatal weakness, that is, he is suspicious and cruel.

The first prince succeeded the throne for only one year, but the arrogance and lust caused the dissatisfaction of the four auxiliary ministers, who abolished the first prince together, and Fu Lei even conspired with Xie Hui to strangle the first prince with a hemp rope.

With the support of Xu Xuanzhi, Zhou Emperor, the youngest son who had no mother since childhood and whose father did not like, ascended the throne.

These methods are exactly the same as those of the previous emperor. First, he strangled the former young emperor and set up a foolish new emperor. He took over the government by himself with military merit, and finally took away the former dynasty step by step and established the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Emperor Zhou was afraid that he would end up like the eldest brother and the former young emperor and abolished emperor. After he was full of wings, he became increasingly dissatisfied with the dispersal of power in the hands of the auxiliary ministers. Step by step, he wanted to take back his power and weaken the power of the auxiliary ministers and the gentry.

Xu Xuanzhi was wise and aware of current affairs, he handed over the military power in his hand early, and kept the position of Grand Sima.

Xie Hui is a slippery loach, and asked to guard Jingzhou.Emperor Zhou exchanged his position as the prefect of Jingzhou for the post of leading general.

Han Daoyuan has always been low-key and humble, and asked himself to guard Jiujiang. Emperor Zhou should have reached some kind of tacit understanding with him, and Han Daoyuan's position as general has not been moved.

Only Fu Lei, said to be a mercenary rebellion, Zhou Emperor sent Han Daoyuan to quell the rebellion, and finally his family was raided and annihilated.

And tonight, Mr. Xie actually got involved in the case of Mr. Fu's assassination. I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm soon.

Zheng Wei thought back and forth a lot in his heart, but in a quarter of an hour, their ten or so fishing boats were already only ten feet away from Tuobayu and the others.

Han Sanlang led Adi towards Tuoba Yu who was not far away with a disdainful smile: "In my Dazhou territory, if the landlubbers can still run away on the Qinhuai River, then we don't have to mess around!"

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Han Dalang glanced at his third brother lightly and reprimanded, "My Dazhou soldiers have an advantage in water, but on land, they are far from Dawei people. And most of these people on the opposite side live in Most of Da Zhou's dark piles are familiar with water, if you underestimate the enemy, you will lose!"

Saburo Han Shichen was silent for a while, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"This battle is under your command. If you let the other side run away, you really don't have to mess around. You should start as a soldier when you return to the army."

Han Shichen's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he handed the fourth brother to his brother, and it was inevitable to look in the direction of Tuobayu.

At this time, a few torches were lit on the boat, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

He stretched out his hands, and waved his palms down, and the people on the boat behind him all jumped into the water.

Zheng Wei watched Han Shichen's movements with bright eyes, silently remembering it in his heart.

Xia Houqing, who saw their actions, changed his face, and someone familiar with water reminded Xia Houqing, "Lang Jun, they are going into the water, they will board the boat soon, and the mice under the boat will break through the bottom of the boat. It will slowly sink to the bottom.”

Xiahou Qinghei replied to his words with a sullen face, "Go ahead at full speed, send someone down to stop them, hold on for a while, and reinforcements will arrive soon."

The Qinhuai River was silent in the night, but the moonlight slowly turned black, and corpses gradually floated up.

Han Shichen blew a long whistle, and immediately someone jumped out from the bottom of the water and turned over onto Tuobayu's boat.

Gradually, Tuobayu and the others became fewer and fewer, and soon there were still people on the same boat as Tuobayu and the others.

Han Shichen made a gesture of clasping his hands in a circle, and the dozen or so ships on their side slowly surrounded Tuobayu and the others.
