Chapter 553 Cage (addition 611 for the silver lord "niema")

"call!"

A club whizzed down the air.

"Go away! Go away!"

"Princess...princess..."

"Princess Ruiguo, please don't embarrass the slaves, Your Majesty has ordered..."

The maids yelled in fear, and a row of small yellow gates stood outside the palace gate with white silk in their hands, in a dilemma.

"Whoever dares to kill her, I will kill whoever! Go away!"

Zhao Jin danced wildly with sticks in both hands and roared endlessly.

There was a stain of wine on the carpet that the palace shoes stepped on, and the flagon was poured aside.

Yan Rong hid behind Zhao Jin, trembling with fright.

She knew that Zhao Jin would protect herself, so she refused to drink the poisoned wine all night, but Zhao Jin's ability to protect herself did not mean she could survive.

Yan Rong knew what would happen if the emperor gave poisoned wine and refused to drink it.

Looking up again, she saw a group of guards with knives running towards her, she couldn't help being frightened out of her wits.

Suddenly, farther away, a small yellow gate rushed over.

"His Majesty's oral order..."

After a while, the guards retreated back to the front hall, and a group of small yellow gates holding white silk also retreated slowly, and the small yellow gates that delivered the decree came to Zhao Jin again.

"According to His Majesty's order, please move Princess Ruiguo to the Ciyuan Hall."

"I won't leave, Anzhi, don't you want to send me away and hurt her again?"

"Princess Mingjian, Your Majesty opened the door, how dare the servants?"

"I just won't leave! Let me put it this way, whoever dares to touch her is the lifelong enemy of Princess Ruiguo!"

"Slave...is His Majesty's will, please..."

Halfway through the conversation, the little yellow gate turned around and saw that it was Guan De who had brought another person, so he hurriedly moved out of the way.

"Chairman."

"Go down, something that doesn't know how to live or die dares to anger Princess Rui." Guan De spat in a sharp voice, stepped forward in small steps, and greeted Zhao Jin with a flattering face.

The orchid finger swayed, quite charming.

"Little ancestor, put down this stick quickly, I'm so tired, I'm so tired, these dog slaves..."

"I'm not going anywhere!"

"Okay, okay, the princess can go to the Ciyuan Hall whenever she wants, and she will listen to the princess, ouch, don't be angry anymore." Guan De laughed endlessly, lowered his voice, and said: "Your Majesty ordered Concubine Yan Gui to recover from her illness. Let’s take care of it for a while, and there is no danger of life for the time being, when the princess turns around to persuade His Majesty, go to the Queen’s first, and don’t offend Your Majesty.”

……

In the hall, Yan Rong saw Zhao Jin leave, and the palace people had already started to seal the doors and windows.

This would be a cage, but she was no longer the canary.

But a life is temporarily saved, which makes people happy and sad, and then only sadness comes from it...

Then, Guan De came over and said something in a low voice.

"Ding Xiang entrusted his servant to bring a sentence... Wait for Li Xia to return to court, and then find a turning point."

~~
Jia Fu.

Liao Yingzhong was surprised: "Your Majesty suddenly changed his mind, why?"

Jia Sidao recalled Zhao Yun's face, with a half-smile, and said: "Why else? If the Ding party falls, I'm afraid that the change in the court will scare Li Xia into defecting... This time, it is really possible. "

"Then now..."

"Since he ordered Li Xia to return to the court to report on his duties, His Majesty will reward him face to face. As for us..." Jia Sidao said coldly, "The crickets are going to be caged, of course the cages must be prepared."

"Can crickets really enter cages?"

"Your Majesty has secretly ordered Jiang Wanli to go to Sichuan and Sichuan in the name of Xuan Fu, Cha Maqian, Yi Shiying, Zhang Jue, Kong Xian and others. He also ordered Li Zengbo, Gao Da, and Xia Gui to wait for orders...Do you dare not come? ?”

~~
At the same time, many passers-by entered the city from various gates in Lin'an.

"The villain, Fan Jiang, is a peddler. He went to Chongqing to handle a batch of goods and came back... This is the document of the villain's hometown..."

As Jiang Fan said, he put one hand behind his back and handed over the paperwork with the other.

A silver ingot also fell into the hands of the guarding soldier.

At the same time, someone came over with a box of coins.

"My lord, this is the city entry tax."

"Come in, come in, I don't see many people blocking behind you, pull the carriage away quickly!"

"Yes……"

The carriages and horses slowly entered a big house in Taojia Lane, Renfang, Lin'an City.

Lin Zi opened the door and looked around.

"Is there no one watching?"

"Brother, what do I do?" Jiang Fan grinned.

"The goods are brought in... move quickly."

……

Until night, more than [-] people had gathered in this mansion, but there was no sound.

It wasn't until the door opened again that there were whispers.

"Commander Gao has arrived."

"Go to the hall, you guys, watch the door..."

More than ten people walked into the hall and gathered around the table.

Lin Zi glanced at everyone, raised his hand, and said, "Li Langjun, are you coming?"

Li Zhaocheng said, "Let's talk about Lin Tongzhi."

"Okay, the big guys set off separately from Hanzhong, and the journey was hard. The commander-in-chief explained too much. I'm afraid someone will forget it, so I'll explain it to the big guys again."

Everyone nodded.

"I have to sort it out. There is too much to do, and I can't write it down."

Lin Zi swallowed his saliva, and said: "Today the commander-in-chief's memorial has arrived at the court, but he has to wait for the court to issue an edict to send it to Hanzhong before he can return it to the court. It may take one month at the earliest, and it may take forty or fifty days to arrive at the slowest." , we need to arrange everything before this, understand?"

"clear."

"After the commander-in-chief arrives in Lin'an, he will implement the best strategy, a total of [-] plans. What we have to do is to arrange our eyeliner and keep an eye on these places..."

He began to point to the map of Lin'an on the table.

"Qinghefang. This is the residence of Ding Daquan. He also has four other courtyards, the Guanchao courtyard in Lixingfang, and Dingminfang..."

The fingers kept moving, and the place names came out of Lin Zi's mouth one by one.

Everyone seized the time and tried to remember.

Listening to their chanting voices, Lin Zi became more and more worried.

"Your accent is wrong, it's too easy to be recognized. Remember, spend more money to bribe the locals, talk less and listen more. Don't seek meritorious service, but seek security."

"it is good."

"Write it all down? Let's go. If there is nothing important, try not to come here again."

Several figures flashed out, greeted dozens of people outside, and left at night.

There are only five people left in the hall.

Li Zhaocheng walked to the door and window, looked around again with his probe, and then said: "There are guards, no outsiders will hear."

Jiang Fan went over to take another look and came back.

"If the best strategy fails, you can only use the middle strategy."

Li Zhaocheng nodded and said, "There seems to be something wrong with the thirteen plans of Zhongce?"

Jiang Fan and Lin Zi looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

"Of course the commander-in-chief has other arrangements, we don't know."

"Okay, let's go over it and assign each one what to do." Li Zhaocheng tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice, and said, "At that time, we need...to kill Zhao Yurui."

Lin Zi pointed to the Prince Rong's Mansion on the map, and asked, "Li Langjun, here... can there be an internal response in this courtyard next to the Prince Rong's Mansion?"

"can have."

"Okay." Lin Zi said: "I'm here to find out the terrain and Zhao and Rui's habits, and finally Jiang Fan will do it..."

"can."

"Afterwards to control Zhao Yu, Prince Zhong's Mansion is too close to Miyagi, the strength of the troops needs to be investigated clearly."

Gao Nianfeng said, "I'll come."

They talked quite quickly, because they had listened to Li Xia's talk for three whole days in Hanzhong.

At this time, it is just a general reasoning to make sure that I have not forgotten on the road.

"If you can't control Zhao Xuan, what is it?"

"Me." Li Zhaocheng said: "I will contact Wu Qian and choose a son of the clan."

"How many candidates are there?"

"There are three people who are most suitable for the clan, followed by 17 people. And then... countless."

"Zhao Mian has been killed by the officials, and his son is also dead, but he has a grandson, and the commander-in-chief doesn't know his name."

Li Zhaocheng said: "I'll check, Wu Qian has already prepared."

Lin Zi scratched his head, and reluctantly said: "Then the Guangzong family? The same family as the official family..."

Li Zhaocheng said, "Let me tell you..."

After a long time, Li Zhaocheng and Yang Shi left together.

Only Lin Zi, Jiang Fan and Gao Nianfeng are left in the hall.

The three went to the door and window again, took another look carefully, and then turned back.

"Li Langjun and Yang Gong don't know about it."

"Ah."

"Let's talk?" Gao Nianfeng's voice was extremely low.

"If this is not possible, the middle strategy just mentioned is all false."

"Is there any wine? Just take a sip to strengthen your courage."

"No."

Lin Zi took a deep breath, turned to Jiang Fan, and asked, "Have you brought everything?"

"Bring it, one is not lost, one is not wet."

"800 people, dare you?"

"Ha, damn it! Damn it!"

"Afraid of a fart! People are dead and birds are in the sky!"

"I'm not afraid anymore, I am a Dali person!"

After a few curses, there was a long silence in the hall.

Then, each of the three wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

"Didn't you forget what preparations to do?"

"I haven't forgotten, I am afraid to say this in my dreams every night, can I forget?"

"Don't say it if you don't forget it, this matter is rotten in your heart, don't talk about it."

"Go ahead and talk about the latter."

"Both the best and the middle strategies won't work, so we can only take the worst strategy. The commander-in-chief in Shandong has sent someone there. We just need to ensure that the commander-in-chief can go north and cross the Yangtze River safely."

"If the man from Shandong doesn't persuade him, should he go to Henan?"

"Yes, we still have to go out of the city and cross the Yangtze River."

"In addition to the north gate, there are also south gates."

"If it doesn't work, go to the Qiantang River through the Chaochao Gate."

"..."

"It's the last resort. I swear to the death to protect the commander-in-chief to Dali." Gao Nianfeng asked, "Have you all remembered the 47 items?"

"Ah."

"Phew, my brain has never been so good."

Following this long sigh, a cock crowed from far away.

Lin Zi stretched out his hand and said, "Come on."

Gao Nianfeng also put his hand on it.

Finally, Jiang Fan's fake hand.

"Change one."

"Although this hand is fake, Hao Lai is on the same side as you."

"What is the same side? If you become one, you will enjoy wealth and honor, but if you lose, you will go to hell together! We will live and die together!"

"With the total death!"

~~
Hanzhong City, Shuaifu.

"Ah Lang is really going to Lin'an?"

"Even now, Mr. Yining still asks each other every day, isn't he tired?"

Li Xia asked back, turned around and saw that Han Qi'an's hair had turned gray a lot recently, and couldn't bear it, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Ah Lang really thinks those plans will be safe? Yue Fei's lesson..."

"Speaking of Yue Fei." Li Xia said: "Recently, I have often wondered, if he returned without being called back then, if he was self-reliant, would it be feasible?"

Han Qi'an meditated silently.

"Mr. Yining also knows that without continuous logistical supplies, without orthodox legal principles, and being surrounded by the enemy... even Yue Fei cannot succeed on his own. My current situation is far less than Yue Fei's. The Yue Family Army Regardless of whether you can completely listen to Yue Fei, even the 'Li Jiajun' has not yet taken shape."

Li Xia has completely recovered his composure, with a smile in his tone.

"The imperial court is not stupid. After receiving my memorial, they will definitely send someone to summon me to return to the court to report on my duties. At the same time, they will also order Gao Gao and Lu Wende to move troops, or Li Zengbo who is now sitting in the southwest, or Huaizuo Xiagui, or Huai Zuo. Li Tingzhi on the right, or Lu Wenhuan, Xian Gong, Zhang Wanzai, Qingyang Mengyan... Da Song is really a gathering of famous generals. In short, there will be troops heading west. No matter who they are, I can't beat them now. Then just If you can go, if that’s the case, why bother?”

Han Qi'an was still worried, and said, "I'm worried about Ah Lang."

"It's not that serious." Li Xia smiled and said, "It's not difficult to survive. I'm still an official of the court. The worst thing is that I will escape again. What I am more worried about right now is the people's livelihood during my absence. develop."

"If Alang is gone, how can we talk about the people's livelihood in Hanzhong? I'm a northerner, so I don't care..."

"Mr. Yining is waiting for me to come back. Li... Mr. Li and I are not like father and son, but Mr. Yining and I are son-in-law."

Han Qi'an was taken aback for a moment, and there was some relief in his eyes...
