Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 39

For Zhao Fujin, she had too much to do to transform the Song Dynasty.

If she was just here to say hello, she wouldn't have made such a trip in the heavy snow.

When she returned to Ninghe Hall, her cloak was already covered with a thick layer of snow, and Qiong Yu and the chamberlains who followed her had already turned into snowmen. Fortunately, Zhao Fujin had already prepared cloaks with hoods for them. Along the way, no one really got their hair or clothes wet.

But the boots were miserable. Snow water seeped in, and the whole foot was soaked in ice water. It was wet, cold, and extremely uncomfortable.

Zhao Fujin returned to the palace and asked Qiong Yu and others to change into clean boots. Under Qiong Ye's service, she herself had her feet burned and changed into soft fur boots.

Not long after changing his boots, three or four guards came to take action.

The first one was the person who caught the tip of the chamberlain. He put the person in Gen Yue's courtyard, came back alone, and told Zhao Fujin that the person was indeed from the Yaohua Palace. He was a son of the old party, and his parents and brothers were all sentenced to death. After being exiled, he was purified at a young age and placed next to Empress Meng as a chamberlain. He only did errands every day and knew nothing about anything else.

The remaining four guards were ordered by Zhao Fujin to steal calligraphy and paintings from Yaohua Palace.

Several people returned empty-handed, and one of them heard a reply from the corner. Meng said personally that a painting had been lost a long time ago, and then she seemed to have discussed with the eldest lady of the Meng family what kind of magic key they could get so that they could leave the palace. Place to go.

The two men spoke in a cryptic manner. The guards were puzzled, but they were able to relay the exact words.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fujin understood that the divine key was the lotus pendant.

However, she was a little confused as to where the two of them were leaving the palace.

Is it possible that they also want to go to the real world?

But why did Meng's aunt and nephew hang the pendant around the original body's neck and then harm the original body?

What's the use of doing this?
Also, why does she say that the more things she takes, the more trouble she gets?Could there be another accident here?

Unfortunately, the person in the painting knows too little useful information, and she is also secretive about it, so that she still knows very little about space.

She was thinking about her thoughts, and after all the servants had retired, Qiong Ye brought lunch.

Since moving to Ninghe Hall, her food has been cooked by the cook from Peony Garden in Mingxing Building.

She has a small appetite, and she has eight small plates, each with a clearly countable number of dishes, a cup of soup and a plate of rice, which is her lunch.

After she had eaten, she asked Xu Ruanniang to call a carriage and went straight out of the palace.

Shen Yue from Mingxing Tower had been waiting halfway along the road for a long time. When the carriage stopped, he jumped on the carriage and said, "I've seen Emperor Ji!"

"Well, how are Zhou Tong and the others doing now?" Zhao Fujin glanced at Xu Ruanniang and saw her smiling at Shen Yue without hesitation. He couldn't help but shake his head and sneered secretly. The woman in love really didn't see anything in his eyes. To work, she had no choice but to push the tea cup and make a crisp porcelain sound.

Xu Ruanniang smiled and poured a glass of hot water into Shen Yue's hand: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Shen!"

Zhao Fujiang put down the hand he was about to take, speechless.

Shen Yue took the tea and blushed at Xu Ruanniang, but did not forget to reply: "When the food at Mingxing Tower was delivered, the brother-in-law of the Yue family was not there, so I had to fight and tie him up. , finally didn’t disturb the people in the alley.”

"Well, I always feel at ease when you do things." Zhao Fujin first praised him, and then asked: "You didn't hurt him, right?"

He is the general I will use in the future. If you lose an arm or leg because of him, I won’t even take your life to pay for it! "No, Mr. Cai Lang has told me that His Highness values ​​this person very much. How dare we harm him?" Shen Yue drank the tea and felt a little warmer before saying, "Mr. Cai Lang personally Go rescue him, maybe he will be brought to Ruyifang in a short time."

While drugging people to bind them, and at the same time pretending to be a benefactor to rescue them, Cai Chi was really good at it.

Cai Chi, who was so good at putting on a show, didn't know that he was being slandered.

He led four or five guards, scolded him in the alley, and then started a real fight with the people in the courtyard. To be honest, he even got wounded on his arm before going in to see Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong and several apprentices were tied tightly and thrown into the woodshed. When they were wondering who took their lives, Cai Chi fell from the sky and appeared in front of them.

"Old General Zhou, I'm late!" Cai Chi let go of the hand holding his injured arm, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted respectfully.

The blood on his hands was dripping, and he didn't care. After giving the salute, he began to untie the people one by one, saying: "I heard that the third prince invited General Zhou to come to his door many times. , why did General Zhou refuse and end up in this situation?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Tong was the first to have his hands untied. Although his body was limp, his momentum remained intact.

"My surname is Cai, and I am a servant of the Xuanhe Palace." As he spoke, Cai Wei untied Lu Junyi's hands and said eagerly: "Old General Zhou, I have only a few people with me. If I alert the Third Highness, But I can’t leave.”

"Your surname is Cai? What is your relationship with Cai Jing?" Zhou Tong waved away Cai Ji's hand that untied Lu Junyi's feet, and said angrily: "If it fell into your hands, it would be worse than the hands of the Third Highness. At least he is still orthodox! "

"Old General Zhou has misunderstood. I have no intention of restraining the old general. If you don't want to, I will beat these people away. How about you find a place to hide yourself?" Cai Wei knew Zhou Tonghui's reaction before he came, so Not annoyed at all.

He avoided Zhou Tong and untied the four people underground in order. The last one was a young boy who had been gagged. He was fourteen or fifteen years old, eight feet tall, with a fair complexion. The forehead is broad, the eyebrows are slender, and the eyes are not big, but they are very alert. The eyes that look at Cai Chi are quite alert.

Because of Zhao Fujin's instructions, Cai Wei looked at him a few more times, then moved his eyes away, and said goodbye to Zhou Tong: "Then the official will not come in again. The old general will take the opportunity to move after I drive him away." Well, we can’t live here anymore.”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Tong turned around and walked out of the woodshed door without waiting for Zhou Tong to speak.

Zhou Tong looked unclear behind him and reached out to stop his young apprentice: "You don't need to be there, let them act on their own!"

It turned out that he had already seen through Cai Chi's trick and had no intention of going out or leaving.

Not long after, the fighting outside the door finally stopped, and Cai Ji really did what he said and never came in again.

Zhou Tong hesitated for a long time before he and his disciples walked out of the woodshed door.

But they saw a mess outside the door. Their martial arts arena was smashed to pieces, and many weapons were damaged beyond use.

Zhou Tong picked up a heavy axe, and when he saw the curled blade and broken handle, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Master, what are they making this fuss about?" Lu Junyi is older and has been following Zhou Tong for the longest time: "If you are not as good as master, let's just follow His Highness. As the saying goes, if you learn high martial arts, you will earn a lot of money." The emperor’s house…”

"Your Majesty, the Third Highness, is neither an eldest son nor a direct descendant. What kind of imperial family is this?" Zhou Tong said dissatisfied: "Follow him, and you will only be able to get ahead. Sooner or later, your family will be affected."

If His Highness the Third Highness has evil intentions and wants to seize the reserve, they will naturally not get any good results if they follow the crowd.

Just grab it, but if you can't grab it, it's not just your own death, it will also bring harm to the whole clan.
