The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 61 Intimidating Feng Yanlu

Zhao Kuangyin wholeheartedly wanted to make a career in Southern Tang, so that he could be worthy of Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian's father, Zhou Zongnai, was the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, with a high position and authority, and he was a young man, so no one would care about his marriage proposal now.

Zhao Kuangyin, who was full of enthusiasm, was about to hand over his hundred and ten catties to Nan Tang.

Zhao Kuangyin accidentally broke through the conspiracy of Feng Yanlu and others, and heard that they were going to assassinate Li Jing's eldest son Li Hongji and support the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui.

If these conspiracies were leaked out, it would be a capital offense. They also discovered Zhao Kuangyin, so Zhao Kuangyin had to die in order to keep it secret.

But Zhao Kuangyin was not bad behind him, none of the entourage they brought could catch Zhao Kuangyin.

In desperation, they mobilized the army, saying that there were bandits, and all the important officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were present at the time.

People like Li Deming, Zhong Mo, and Feng Yansi, they say they are gangsters, is there anyone who doesn't believe it?

So a large number of soldiers surrounded Zhao Kuangyin at the wharf in Jinling.

The so-called two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, Zhao Kuangyin is useless no matter how powerful he is, so he was shot by Feng Yanlu with an arrow and taken into the rolling river.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuangyin was rescued by a fisherman's father and son, and he recuperated in his home for more than half a year.

When he arrived at the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou Mansion was festively decorated with lanterns and festivities. It turned out that Zhou Xian was about to get engaged.

The man is the prince of the current emperor, Li Congjia, who is still the Duke of the county. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin's mind was blank.

At this time Zhou Zong also passed away due to illness, Zhao Kuangyin sneaked into the Zhou mansion, but was caught by Mrs. Zhou, and Zhao Kuangyin was speechless to respond to what he said.

"My daughter is married to the current sixth prince. You have nothing. You are just a pariah with nothing. If you really love my daughter, leave her."

Yes, I am a kid with nothing, and he is a prince, so how can I compare myself with others?

However, Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to meet Zhou Xian, but Mrs. Zhou refused, so she had someone secretly send Zhao Kuangyin away.

Zhou Xian's maid knew about this, and later went to see Zhao Kuangyin alone. I don't know what the two of them said, but Zhao Kuangyin left in a daze.

After leaving, Zhao Kuangyin soon joined the army of the two Guo Wei, and was promoted to official positions for bravery in combat.

And Zhou Xian also married Li Congjia, who had been named King Zheng, and she was also named Princess Zheng. He didn't know that Zhao Kuangyin had become a general of Zhou State.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin looked lonely, this feeling can be regarded as a memory.

Soon Zhao Kuangyin returned to Chuzhou again and visited Chai Rong. Even Zhao Xu was here at Chai Rong's place at this time.

"Excuse me, Kuangyin, I asked you to come back this time to hear your opinion. It is indeed a good sign that our army has won consecutive victories recently, but it is indeed a bit exhausted. I want the soldiers to rest ,what do you think?"

When Zhao Kuangyin heard that he was planning to withdraw troops or negotiate peace, he was not sure, so he tentatively asked:

"Your Majesty, why don't we let Nan Tang know that we have a willingness to negotiate a peace, let them come and talk to us, so that our soldiers can have a temporary rest, and they can't accept our request, and finally we will go to war! Your Majesty ,look?"

After Zhao Kuangyin finished speaking, he looked at Chai Rong with hope, only to hear Chai Rong laughing.Zhao Kuangyin didn't know why.

"Kuangyin, you father and son are really my right-hand men, hahaha..."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Father, that's what I told His Majesty. My suggestion is to let Feng Yanlu go back and let him convey our meaning."

It turned out to be like this, no wonder His Majesty would laugh, the father and son made the same strategy, they still agreed by coincidence.

"Okay, since this is the case, I will leave this matter to you father and son. I can rest assured that you will handle the matter." Chai Rong patted Lao Zhao's shoulder with his hand.

Zhao's father and son are grateful for their trust in the emperor:
"Your Majesty still has something to ask for this time, and please give your Majesty permission." Zhao Kuangyin bowed to the end.

In Chai Rong's impression, Zhao Kuangyin had never asked him for anything, what happened this time, but he still nodded.

Seeing that Chai Rong agreed, Zhao Kuangyin said:
"I want Chen's younger brother to take his father's body back to Bianjing to be buried in peace. I can't be filial to my father while I'm alive. I can only wait for my son after death. He will serve the old man. I think my father will understand me."

It stands to reason that Zhao Hongyin has been dead for several months and should be buried, but because of the busy fighting, Zhao Hongyin still couldn't be buried in peace.

Zhao Kuangyin's request now is not actually a request, it is the duty of a son of man, and Chai Rong of course agrees.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyin's funeral was buried according to the etiquette of the Sangong. The next day, under Zhao Kuangyin's instructions, Zhao Kuangyi set off for Bianjing.

Here, Zhao Kuangyin and his son started their big plan against Datang again. Feng Yanlu was enjoying refreshments in a courtyard in Chuzhou City.

He has been here for two days, and he is provided with good food and drink every day, and he has gradually let go of the fear in his heart.

It seems that the Zhou court in Hangzhou is still not going to kill me, otherwise it would not have entertained me like this, and I would have been worried for nothing.

While he was masturbating, two people came in outside, both wearing armor and steel knives pinned to their waists.

One is gentle and refined, while the other has a face full of flesh and menace, Feng Yanlu's calves are spinning when he looks at it.

It was this man with a fleshy face who spoke:

"You are Feng Yanlu, come with us, our lord wants to see you, hurry up."

Eyes like copper bells stared straight at him, now Feng Yanlu felt a little scared.This guy is none other than Dong Zhenhai.

"Two, two, where are you taking me, yes, which adult wants to see me?"

Old Dong became impatient when he heard this: "I told you to stop writing, hurry up, you will know when you arrive, there are so many nonsense, I will use some tricks if you talk too much."

After speaking, this guy deliberately laughed a few times, his dark face showed a few white teeth, giving him a terrifying and eerie feeling.

Feng Yanlu felt chills behind him, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he obediently left.

"I said, Old Dong, you were a vicious bully just now, you scared this guy, no wonder the adults let you come. Hahaha."

"I'm talking about Lao Liu. I usually hate bullies the most. Don't put me in the same category as them, okay. I did everything according to your lord's orders. Let's go, my lord is still waiting."

In another small courtyard, God Zhao Xu was standing there, and when he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, he knew Feng Yanlu would bring them here.

"Your Excellency, an official from the Tang Kingdom, we brought it back." Dong Zhenhai and Liu Qinhu said to Zhao Xu, clasping their hands together.

Zhao Xu nodded, but without turning his head, turned his back to Feng Yanlu:
"Are you Feng Yanlu, Minister of Industry of Tang State?"

Zhao Xu's back to Feng Yanlu put even more pressure on him. He didn't even know what the other party looked like, but he knew you.

"The next official is Feng Yanlu, I don't know who your lord is?" Feng Yanlu said respectfully.

"You are Feng Yanlu. Did you shoot my father with an arrow at Jinling Wharf back then, causing him to almost die in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Zhao Xu turned around suddenly and looked at Feng Yanlu sharply. Feng Yanlu's legs went limp.

His legs bent and he knelt on the ground: "My lord, when I stepped down from an official position, I was ordered by others, and I couldn't help myself, so I offended your father."

"Hmph, you are so ordered by others. I am also ordered by others to kill you now." As he spoke, Zhao Xu pulled out the knife from Dong Zhenhai's body and placed it on Feng Yanlu's neck.

Feng Yanlu even felt the cold blade sticking to his neck, sweating profusely, kowtowing his head non-stop.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please forgive me."

"Forgive me, how can you let me spare your life?" Zhao Xu asked playfully.

Now Feng Yanlu's most important thing is to save his own life, so there is no such thing as loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

"I can play for Da Zhou, if I can play for Da Zhou, I will definitely do my best for Da Zhou."

Feng Yanlu's forehead was already red and swollen, but he didn't seem to feel it, and was still kowtowing desperately.

"How can I, Da Zhou, care about a villain like you? It seems that you don't cherish your life." Zhao Xu raised his knife as he spoke.

'"My lord, please forgive me."

"Xu'er stop." Just as Zhao Xu was about to drop the knife, Zhao Kuangyin appeared, even though the drink stopped Zhao Xu.

"Xu'er, don't be rude. No matter how you say, Master Feng is also a celebrity around the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Maybe he can really help us. Do you think it is Master Feng?"

Although Zhao Kuangyin was speaking to Zhao Xu, his eyes were fixed on Feng Yanlu.

"Father, what can he do to help us? Why don't I kill him with a knife and vent my hatred." Zhao Xu's face was full of frost, it seemed that this was true.

Feng Yanlu over there crawled over like a dog;

"No, the adults and the villains will definitely ruin Da Zhou's brains, they will." At this time, saving one's life is the most important thing, and no dignity is needed.

In Feng Yanlu's current situation, just now he called himself a lowly official, but now he is called a villain.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it seemed that such villains were not far away from destroying the country. What's more, such villains still held high positions and controlled the government.

"Oh, are you really willing to do something for me?" Zhao Xu threw the knife to Dong Zhenhai and let them go down.

As soon as Lao Feng saw this, he immediately felt relieved, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, what orders do you have from my lord? This villain will never hesitate to die. I will do my best to die. Please give me a chance, my lord."

This guy has forgotten that he is an official of the Tang Dynasty, and he asked the other party to give him a chance. I don't know what Li Jing will do when he hears it?
Will you vomit three liters of blood in anger?
