Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang returned to Shaozhou City, he told Hou Shuxian and Chen Kang what he had said about seeing Nan Jifeng.Chen Kang asked, "What about King Ying going back to present the book?"

Now Chen Kang is most concerned about the issue of offering books. He originally planned to find a chance for King Ying to find out when King Ying was around, so he could get away with it.Wang Pang said: "I have an arrangement for this matter. When you two return to the capital, you will bring the book to King Ying, and say that the book was found in the palace of the Duke of Handong County."

"Young master?" Chen Kang didn't seem to understand: "Shall we go back to the capital tomorrow?"

"It's not us, it's you! Now the city gate is guarded, I guess I have to go to the county prince's mansion. This book will be handed over to the prime minister through King Ying." He looked at Hou Shuxian, Mr. Hou didn't speak, only slightly nod.

After explaining the matter, Wang Pang went to find Su Xiao, explained the reason for the heavy defense of the city outside, and asked her to leave as soon as possible.Seeing Su Xiao frowned and said nothing, Wang Pang said: "If you reply to yourself, you can leave the city smoothly?" Su Xiao saw that although Wang Pang knew his identity, he still respected him very much all the way, and he admired Wang Pang more and more in his heart. admiration.Wang Pang wrote another letter to Wang Shao, explaining that the Shu people should sell tea to Tubo, and asked Wang Shao to help, so that after Su Xiao returned to Shu, he would find local tea farmers to organize and select someone who could do this.He told Su Xiao that by opening up this road, not only can tea be traded for horses, but it will also benefit more than selling tea to the capital. [

Things have come to this, the next day a group of people walked out of the city, Wang Pang was indeed detained at the gate of the city.Seeing Wang Pang winking at him, Hou Shuxian and the others knew that he had already planned, so they followed them out of the city.After bidding farewell to Su Xiao who was heading west, Chen Kang asked Hou Shuxian as he walked: "Sir, you said that you know you can't leave the city and you still do this? Why don't I understand what you mean?"

Hou Shuxian smiled slightly: "There is a mystery in this matter, that is, it can excuse the prime minister's omissions at the time; it can also save the young master from being suspected of deceiving the emperor; didn't he also say it? Nan Jifeng was invited by the county king and had an attempt to join forces , if this is done, the world will be uneasy that day. The scrolls you are looking for are very important, involving fire attacks, strategies for attacking and defending cities, and blaming the county king is enough to make the county king's whereabouts attract the attention of the court; King Ying is outstanding! This is the key to the son's plan."

Chen Kang understood, and nodded: "Sure enough, Gao, but if the young master is taken to the county palace, will there be any danger?"

In the county prince's mansion, there was one person who arrived before Wang Pang.When Wang Pang returned to Shaozhou City by himself yesterday, Qin Minxue had a premonition that things were not going well.Wang Pang would not leave King Ying himself in Shaozhou, an unfamiliar place, he regretted not bringing more entourage out.Early in the morning, I heard that Wang Pang wanted to leave. Fortunately, there were guards guarding the city gate of Shaozhou, and only Wang Pang was there to capture the thief and capture the king.Qin Minxue hurried to the Prince's Mansion, this time he must see the Prince.

Shi Zhaoxi, in the name of the king of the county, brought Qin Minxue to the king of the county: "Young king, Wang Pang wanted to leave the city and was detained at the gate of Shaozhou. He abducted King Ying out of the capital. You must call for interrogation quickly. Let him go!"

Qin Minxue put the charge of abducting King Ying on the king's head first, but the county king frowned: "Qin Minxue, you mean that King Ying is in Shaozhou?"

It seems that the king of the county didn't know anything about this matter, Qin Minxue explained: "Exactly, according to the secret decree of the sage, I went out of Beijing to find the whereabouts of King Ying and found this place. Originally, King Ying and Wang Pang had already lived in Shaozhou. But I don’t know why Ying Wang went out of the city with Wang Pang the day before yesterday and has not returned yet!”

"Beside the king?" Shi Zhaoxi said softly with some doubts.

Qin Minxue hurriedly said: "That's right, he is next to the king. When the first emperor was here, he was an important minister in front of the first emperor, and he was a third-rank official. Now that he has resigned, he did not expect to take King Ying out of the capital. Something unexpected happened to the king, how can I go back and return the order to the emperor!"

The king of the county slapped the table and said angrily: "Bold Qin Minxue, King Ying is my nephew, how dare you curse him like that? Besides, when King Ying comes to Shaozhou, he will definitely come to the prince's mansion."

"King, calm down!" Shi Zhaoxi whispered from the side: "I think Secretary Qin is also a person who handles affairs, and he also showed me the Holy Majesty's handwriting that day, but he didn't say who he was looking for. If he said Now, I will definitely tell the king of the county, and there will be no misunderstanding." Shi Zhaoxi took the responsibility and spoke good words for Qin Minxue, Qin Minxue gave Shi Zhaoxi a grateful look.How could Shi Zhaoxi not know Wang Bang?When Wang Pang beat Ren Shouzhong in the prison, it wasn't that he wasn't there, but he didn't dare to stop him.At that time, who would dare to stop the king?Among the eunuchs in the palace, how many of them don't know the king's side.Why did he also come to Shaozhou?

Zhao Zongmian, the king of the county, put on an air of "Oh" and said, "It seems that this is a misunderstanding, Mr. Shi, please bring the king to see you as soon as possible. Qin Minxue, sit down and talk."

Qin Minxue saw that the county king was not so serious, and gave up his seat to himself, feeling a little more at ease.After a while, Wang Pang swaggered into the palace of the Prince of the County. This place is simply a condensed version of the small palace. Some of the palaces are here. The hall of the King of the County is magnificent, and it can be described as a grand hall. Not at all excessive.It can be seen that the county king is not just for simple ostentation and comparison, and Wang Pang has more confidence in his heart.

Seeing Wang Pang coming, Zhao Zongmian's face darkened slightly, but Wang Pang bowed his hands and saluted with a smile on his face: "Beside my king, see the King of Handong County!" When he was speaking, he noticed that Shi Zhaoxi was standing beside the King Pang Next to it, there is another person sitting in the hall.Why is this person so familiar?Young, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.Isn't this the kid who passed the decree not to let him go back to Beijing when he was in Baozhou?Why is this guy here?

Zhao Zongmian pointed to Wang Pang and asked Qin Minxue: "Recognize him, is he the one you mentioned?"

Qin Minxue jumped up: "Jun Wang, that's him." He walked up to Wang Pang, looked at Wang Pang, "Wang Pang, where did you hide King Ying?"

"King Ying? What is King Ying? Isn't King Ying in the capital?" Wang looked at Qin Minxue inexplicably, then turned to look at the king, who looked at him without saying a word.

"You! Even though you kidnapped King Ying out of the capital and came here, how dare you not admit it? What did you do to King Ying?" Qin Minxue was really anxious, and he hated Wang Pang so much from the bottom of his heart. He turned to Zhao Zongmian and said, "Jun Wang, if you interrogate him quickly, you will know the whereabouts of King Ying."

Zhao Zongmian, the king of the county, said angrily: "Bold, Qin Minxue, this king will not judge anyone, so you don't need to talk too much!"

There is a saying that a man is more angry than a man. Wang Pang was brought up and stood with Qin Minxue: Zhou Zheng had a handsome face, and a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek looked tricky.When Qin Min came to school, he recruited the king of the county and didn't want to see him, but when the king came up, he was generous.Besides, how could the county king not know the king's side?Even if he had never met, Wang Pangna was very famous, and he was sent as an envoy to Xixia and Liao Kingdom to attack Japanese slaves.If this person can work for him, he is a rare talent.Everyone has a love for talents, not to mention the county king is recruiting talents.

On the contrary, Wang Pang chuckled, knowing that the county king wanted to seek hegemony, and felt somewhat disgusted with Qin Minxue sent by the imperial court.He hurriedly persuaded him: "Jun Wang, please don't be angry, he has some old grievances with me, and now he is really embarrassed to bother the Jun Wang. If you don't mind, can I ask him a few words?" These words are modest Appropriate, the king of the county nodded comfortably.

"Qin Minxue, is your horse's ass healed?" The county king, Shi Zhaoxi, and Qin Minxue were taken aback by what you asked, and Wang Pang laughed and said, "Back then, I slapped your horse's ass with a club, so what?" The horse ran really fast! I only remembered later that Mr. Qin seems to be still on the horse! Haha" His words made the king of the county happy, especially seeing Qin Minxue's shy and angry expression: "My lord, you Don't be complacent, now is not the time for the former king to be here."

Zhao Zongmian frowned slightly, it seems that the relationship between Wang Pang and the current Emperor Yingzong is not so good.Wang Pang was not in a hurry, he still asked with a smile: "You said that I took King Ying out of the city, and I returned to Linchuan years ago, and Cai Ting, a transshipment envoy, could testify for me, is King Ying the right one? When did you leave the city?" Wang Pang asked unhurriedly, Zhong told him that he had seen his uncle Zhao Zongmian during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, Wang Pang, you have an iron mouth and steel teeth. My people saw you and King Ying entering Shaozhou City with their own eyes."

"I brought it?" Wang Pang said to the king with a look of guilt: "The young man I brought is the one I like, the king, don't you think my female companion is too eye-catching at my age? I Ask her to change into men's clothing. Moreover, this person is the sister of Su Shi and Su Zizhan, oh, the king of the county, you have to keep this matter a secret for me, if Su Zizhan finds out, he won't peel my skin."

When the county king heard this, he was amused by Wang Pang and laughed, but he didn't see that this kid was quite feminine.It's ridiculous, but he still has doubts. He also heard that King Ying is not in the capital. Since Qin Minxue found it here, it may not be unfounded. Why did Qin Min learn to seek you so far?"

Wang Pang frowned and sighed: "Young King, when I was on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, he obeyed Emperor Yingzong's decree that I was not allowed to return to Beijing, but went directly to Korea as an envoy. Alas, I didn't even see my dead wife for the last time. Arrived." Wang Pang said that the circles of his eyes turned red, which was an expression of his true feelings. Thinking of this, he really hated Yingzong a little, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My contribution to the Song Dynasty is not enough. I will go home and see my wife. Son? I resigned after returning to Beijing in a fit of rage. I heard that the county king governed Guangnan well. I just want to leave Shaozhou. Junwang, I don’t know what he came to do, but you know that he has wronged me in the name of following me and King Ying. I think you leave me alone and let him take me away. When I return to the capital, I will let him deal with it."

Wang Pang's words moved the county king Zhao Zongmian, and this Qin Minxue is Yingzong's confidant, how can he stay in Shaozhou? "Director Shi, send someone to send Qin Minxue out of the city! Tell him to continue looking for King Ying!" To say send off is polite, to be precise, Qin Minxue was kicked out of Shaozhou City by the county king.

Qin Minxue was dragged out one by one by the guards of the county palace, and he shouted anxiously: "Young king, I am an official of the court, don't listen to the king, don't trust him!" The king looked at Qin Minxue with a smile on his face. , Qin Minxue became more and more angry.Compared with Qin Minxue, Wang Pang has already made a good impression on the county king.However, it is not so easy for Wang Pang to leave the county palace.There is also Shi Zhaoxi beside the king of the county, who has been watching this scene of His Highness coldly.
