Yi Song

Chapter 319: Burning the last hope of life
Zhao Fujin nodded, holding Zhao Zhen's hand with tears in his eyes, and said with pity: "Sister, I know better. Brother Eighteen, if something changes, you quietly rush to Jialan Temple in the west of the city. When you see someone, say "Sun and Moon Shine Heaven and Earth" ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely.

In the afternoon, Liu Baoxiang came to report: "Palace Master, dozens of servants in the house, Jian Fu, have escaped."

Zhao Fujin smiled faintly: "Let them go."

"The steward went to buy vegetables. Some of the neighbors were unwilling to sell, while others were willing to sell. Not only did they have a quarrel, but they also got into a fight."

Zhao Fujin said nothing.

"There are often some scoundrels wandering outside the side door and corner door, throwing dirt at the gate and courtyard wall."

Zhao Fujin still didn't say anything, but his face turned pale.

"I also heard news that someone is inciting the people. If the palace owner does not leave the city tomorrow, they will gather people and set fire to the princess palace."

Zhao Fujin's hands trembled slightly, and he said sadly: "Brother Ninth harmed me, those bastards added insult to injury, eldest brother forced me, and even Erlang is forcing me!"

"Liu Erlang is not forcing the palace master, he just wants the palace master to think clearly."

"Think clearly? I have thought clearly."

"Palace Master, just because you think about it clearly doesn't mean you can really make a choice."

"Why do I have to choose?"

"Palace Master, everything in this world is out of your control. It was God's will that you met Liu Erlang; Liu Erlang became Queen Mingda's nephew, it was God's will; Liu Erlang was in Pingxia, went to Mobei, and conquered Liao, why not Not God's will.

As his military exploits grew bigger and bigger, he had more and more generals on his staff, and he couldn't help himself. "

"Xiang Lao, you prefer Erlang, why?"

"I saw and heard too much in the palace. After looking around, I feel that Liu Erlang's side is the most beneficial to the palace master. And he didn't force you, he just let you choose."

Zhao Fujin was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and then said slowly: "Mr. Xiang, get ready."

"Yes." Liu Baoxiang bowed his hands and responded, then straightened up and said, "Palace Master, let me settle this matter."

Zhao Fujin trembled all over, as if struck by lightning. He walked forward slowly, pulled Liu Baoxiang's sleeve, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why did Weng Weng abandon me?"

"Everyone believed me when I came forward." Liu Baoxiang stroked Zhao Fujin's hair kindly and said happily, "The fifth sister has grown up and has become a child's mother. Weng Weng is also old, so old that he only has a few years to live. "

The next day, the Princess of Jin's Mansion sent someone to hand over a letter written by the eldest princess of Jin, saying that she was willing to leave the city as a pledge.

Geng Nanzhong danced happily, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Bianjing has been saved, and the Song Dynasty has been saved."

Hundreds of imperial students in front of Donghua Gate, and thousands of common people who followed along to join in the fun, cheered loudly when they received the news.

The hundreds of Tai students held their heads high and proud, publicizing their achievements everywhere, as if forcing the Jin princess to leave the city was tantamount to defeating the 100,000 rebel Liao soldiers outside the city.

Thousands of common people were also infected by this sentiment, and felt that by following these incredible scholars, they allowed the rebels outside the city to surrender without a fight.

This sentiment quickly spread, and tens of thousands of people in Bianjing were inspired.

It’s great not to have to fight anymore!

On the morning of the third day, two carriages drove out from the Princess of Jin's mansion. Zhang Bangchang and Tang Ke, who were ordered to see them off, stepped forward and said pretentiously: "I will pay my respects to the Princess of Jin."

The second carriage opened the door curtain, revealing Zhao Fujin in formal attire, with a face as cold as frost, and her eldest brother and second sister sitting on both sides of her.

"I've seen you. Send us on our way."

Zhang Bangchang and Tang Ke quickly saluted and said: "Farewell to the Princess of Jin!" Liu Baoxiang rode a horse and walked to the carriage and said calmly: "Let's go!"

As the group walked out of Xuanhuafang, tens of thousands of people stood on both sides of the street, looking at the group with complicated expressions. In the eyes of their people, there is regret, indifference, joy, ridicule, sorrow, and gloating, all of which are different.

The carriage drove past Xiangguo Temple and arrived near Second Tianshui Lane. Li Shishi and Xue Yanchai were waiting on the street. The carriage stopped, and the two got in. They heard faint cries and the angry voice of Master Li: "It's not you who betrayed others, it was others who betrayed you!"

Zhang Bangchang and Tang Ke waited for a while, and then urged impatiently: "Let's go, let's go, it's a waste of time. King Kang outside the city will be waiting in a hurry."

Li Shishi and Xue Yanchai got out of the car with tears in their eyes and watched the carriage turn to Maxing Street and go all the way north.

After coming out of Anyuanmen and arriving at Kaibao Temple in the outer city, Liu Baoxiang said: "This temple contains the spiritual tablet of Queen Mingda. The princess needs to go down and worship."

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile: "The princess went out of the city just to unite with the Ninth Prince Kang Wang, why bother?"

Tang Ke also said dissatisfiedly: "We are just leaving the city, why do we have to make it look like we are parting from life or death?"

"Then let's turn back." Liu Baoxiang said politely.

Zhang Bangchang and Tang Ke looked stunned, looked at each other, and waved their hands impatiently, "Okay, okay, hurry up, don't wait any longer."

The carriage drove through the temple gate and stopped in the second courtyard.

Zhao Fujin took his eldest brother and second sister, got out of the car and went straight to the side hall.

Zhang Bangchang, Tang Ke and others were waiting at the entrance of the Second Hospital.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the maids helped the princess of Jin, who was wearing formal clothes, out of the side hall. A maid held the eldest brother and second sister, and got into the carriage under the watchful eyes of Zhang Bangchang, Tang Ke and others from a distance.

The carriage continued to move forward until it reached Fengqiu Gate.

He Su was waiting at the gate of Wengcheng. When he saw Liu Baoxiang, he cupped his hands and said, "I respectfully welcome the princess of Jin."

"Open the city gate, let's go out."

He Su's eyes were red, and he said sadly: "Okay, I will send the princess out."

The carriage entered Wengcheng, and Tang Ke couldn't wait to ask someone to close the door inside. The door outside slowly opened, revealing a flat wasteland outside the city, and the "Fengtian Quest for Thieves" army stood in formation two miles away.

Liu Baoxiang patted the carriage and said, "Let's go."

He was riding on the horse and suddenly said: "Suddenly, I remembered the song that Queen Mingda sang to the officials, just like yesterday."

After that, he shook his head and started singing.

"My son is thinking about me, and my clothes are wading through the water. If you don't think about me, how can there be no one else? The madness of a crazy boy is also true."

My son is thinking of me, and my clothes are flowing through the river. If you don’t think about yourself, how can there be no others? Crazy children are also crazy. "

The hoarse voice was desolate and sad.

He Su understood clearly that this was "Zheng Feng. Shang" from the Book of Songs. It was a love poem in which a woman teased her lover. The style was rough and aggressive.

The carriage left the city gate and stopped in the middle of the open space. Everyone looked at it in surprise.

Suddenly, raging flames burst out of the carriage and quickly engulfed the two carriages. Liu Baoxiang turned his head and looked at He Su with a smile. Shi Shiran dismounted and calmly walked into the carriage surrounded by fire.

Seeing this scene, He Su burst into tears and sighed.

Prince, you killed Zhao Song's last chance of survival alive.
