The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 68 The Man Inside the Window
"Your Majesty, I, I can't do it... Queen Mother..."

This iron-clad man had several blood holes pierced by the sword and did not shed tears, but when he said this, tears flowed from his eyes.

Zhao Dongting knew what he wanted to say, and sighed: "The queen mother will take care of it."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Yang Yidong's mouth, and he looked at Concubine Yang Shu again, "Ker, I, I can no longer protect you..."

The sluggish Concubine Yang Shu's eyes gradually became brighter, but it was full of hatred. She closed her eyes slightly, and then screamed, "Ah..."

The hatred in her heart reached its peak.

During these years in exile, it was Yang Yidong who supported her, cared for her, and accompanied her.In her heart, apart from Zhao Dongting, the most important person was Yang Yidong, but now, Yang Yidong was protecting her, and ended up like this.

She hates.

Hate those thieves.

Yang Yi, a dignified general, did not die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of these thieves.

Even if she died on the battlefield, Concubine Yang Shu would not feel so sad in her heart.

Yang Yidong stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Concubine Yang Shu's face again, but the look in his eyes gradually faded after all.

Zhao Dongting fell silent.

Concubine Yang Shu called for a long time before stopping, staring straight at Zhao Dongting, "Yes, my mother wants them to die, and wants them to be buried with Yidong!"

The hatred in her eyes at this moment almost turned into resentment, making Zhao Dongting a little flustered the moment he touched her eyes.

Dazed, Zhao Dongting said seriously: "Mother, I will find out who did it."

Whether it's public or private, he needs to find out where these thieves come from.

Privately, Yang Yidong has saved Concubine Yang Shu's life several times and is her lover.

Lord, Yang Yidong is a general in the court, and these thieves assassinated him here, which is a great provocation to the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Concubine Yang Shu didn't speak any more.

Knowing that she was greatly stimulated, Zhao Dongting sighed inwardly, turned to face the outside, and said, "Bring the remains of the fallen soldiers back to the army, bury them properly, and record them in the list of fallen warriors. Those with family members will be killed on the battlefield. It will be issued as compensation and listed as the family members of the fallen warriors.”

"Yes!"

The soldiers outside took orders with indignation.

When they carried the corpse on the ground to the horse, nearly a thousand horses guarded the side of Concubine Yang Shu's chariot, and walked slowly towards the palace.

Back in the palace, Zhao Dongting not only announced the painter in the palace, but also called Yinger, Le Wu, and Li Yuanxiu to his side, carefully recalled Sha Wanli's appearance, and asked the painter to draw a portrait of Sha Wanli.

Immediately afterwards, he announced the new magistrate of Leizhou, Mu Kangxun, and handed over the painted portrait to him, "This person is named Sha Wanli, and he led a thief to assassinate the Queen Mother, resulting in the death of Yang Yidong, the general of the left and right guards. Take it and let the painter copy it." , posted in every county and every town, and wanted him. Anyone who provides Sha Wanli's whereabouts will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

Mu Kangxun used to be a servant in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was about [-] years old. At this time, he was appointed as the magistrate of Leizhou, which can be said to be a second spring in the officialdom.He took the portrait carefully, and said: "I will do it now."

Say that and leave in a hurry.

The court of the Southern Song Dynasty was located in Leizhou. Although he was the magistrate of Leizhou, there were not many things that he could talk about in his turn.At this time, Zhao Dongting personally assigned him a task, and he naturally couldn't wait to complete it.

Zhao Dongting watched his leaving back, sighed softly, and said, "Follow me to the Queen Mother to have a look..."

However, when he, Yinger, Le Wu, and Li Yuanxiu walked outside Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom, they were stopped by the maid outside the door.

The maid knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that no one is here now."

Zhao Dongting froze slightly, waved his hands, and took Ying Er and the others away again.

He knew Concubine Yang Shu was very sad.

Yang Yidong's death made him feel uncomfortable.

That night, Zhao Dongting sat on the roof in a daze again in casual clothes.

In fact, in the afternoon in the weapon workshop of Haikang County, he finally succeeded in improving the smelting technique and forging a weapon comparable to modern steel weapons. This was a great joy for the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. There is also the matter of Le Chan, which always makes him preoccupied.

In the past two days, many aristocrats and gentry resisted the implementation of the land distribution system.

I don't know why, but Zhao Dongting always has a feeling of danger.

This seemingly small Leizhou has too many things submerged in the water that have not been exposed.Such as the group of people in Shawanli, and the people who assassinated him in Quzhou.

The house on the street opposite Zhizhou Mansion was still lit, but this house was the only one that was lit almost every night.

Moreover, there are always two figures sitting opposite each other printed in front of the window.

Zhao Dongting was a little disturbed, pointing to the room with the lights on, he said to Li Yuanxiu: "Elder-in-law, take me there to have a look?"

He was also a little curious about what those two people were doing sitting there every night.

Li Yuanxiu hesitated, "Your Majesty, the two of us are going out of the palace alone..."

Zhao Dongting tilted his head and said, "Isn't your father-in-law confident in his own skills?"

Li Yuanxiu was stunned, then nodded and said, "Alright then!"

In fact, he is not to blame, he has stayed in the palace all year round, he only knows that his kung fu is not bad, but he may not think that he is too high.He probably didn't know that his own kung fu was definitely at the top level in the Jianghu.

Let's talk, Li Yuanxiu jumped off the roof with Zhao Dongting in his arms, and then walked outside Zhizhou's mansion.

The guards along the way saw that the emperor wanted to leave the palace in subdued clothes, but they didn't dare to stop him.

Walking across the street, Li Yuanxiu and Zhao Dongting were standing outside the window, and heard a slight voice inside.

"Let's go!"

"Hehe, although the horse army is brave, it is easy to stumble. Shangxiang, watch me make your horse a stumbler."

It turned out that the two people in the house were playing chess.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, chess already existed in the Chu River and Han circles, and it became quite popular.

Zhao Dongting listened outside, slightly startled.Although the two were playing chess, what they said was related to the current state of the country.

After listening for only a few minutes, I only heard that the two of them even mentioned Mr. Ge Li.

Someone said: "Jun Geli is like this pawn crossing the river. His thoughts are urgent, but he doesn't know that his position is humble, and he is not good enough to control the soldiers under his command. It is natural for him to defeat Qizhou."

Another person said: "But now there is only one rook left beside the emperor, and there are two knights and two bishops, just like the chess game between you and me, can it really resist Yuan?"

The man laughed loudly, "Your majesty is young, but he has already shown extraordinary abilities. He is handsome, and he can gallop freely. Why not kill this chess game?"

At that time, the handsome and generals could run around the entire chessboard.

As he said that, the man's voice suddenly turned cold again, and he said: "There are visitors outside the house, why don't you come in and have a look?"

Li Yuanxiu's face changed slightly.

Zhao Dongting was startled, he didn't expect that when he and Li Yuanxiu stood quietly outside, the people inside could find out.

Immediately he straightened his clothes, went to the door and tapped the copper button lightly.

Li Yuanxiu stood beside him, with his hands resting on his sword, his expression solemn.Obviously, the person who just spoke in the room is not low in skill.

It is impossible for ordinary people to have such a keen perception.

The door was quickly opened, and what came out was a messy old man with disheveled hair like a bird's nest, wearing patches all over his body.

When he saw Li Yuanxiu and Zhao Dongting, he was also slightly stunned, then bowed and said: "I have seen the emperor."

Li Yuanxiu's complexion changed drastically, and he almost couldn't help but want to make a move.

Zhao Dongting gently pressed his wrist, and said to the bad old man in front of him, "How does the elder know that I am the emperor?"

He didn't care about the old man's disrespect for not kneeling when he saw the king, and he was a little curious about the old man.

Playing chess in the room, and saying that he is the emperor, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do.

Like a beggar, no, it should be said that the bad old man who is a beggar stepped aside slightly, invited Zhao Dongting and Li Yuanxiu in, glanced at Li Yuanxiu lightly, and said: "The Zhizhou Mansion is across the street. Yes, who dares to come here for a stroll? The old man... looks at this...with a white face and no beard, he must be an eunuch, but his breath is long and his internal energy is extremely high. Except for the emperor, who can come out in the middle of the night with a eunuch of great kung fu Eavesdrop on my game with my friends?"

Zhao Dongting looked at the old man secretly, he didn't have a thumb on his left hand, only nine fingers.

It can be seen at a glance that Li Yuanxiu's kung fu is extremely high, and his kung fu attainments are obviously not low.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongting smiled slightly and said, "I haven't asked the elder's name yet."

Although the old man was dressed in rags, he looked quite proud and arrogant, and said with a light smile, "The emperor is the emperor, and I am the emperor, too."

"Bold!"

Li Yuanxiu was furious when he heard the words, and couldn't hold back any longer, he drew his sword and stabbed at the bad old man.
