Slave to Queen: One Night Bride

Chapter 657 Dead
"Fourth prince, I'm only to blame for your incomplete investigation. This place has always been a place where bandits gathered. Especially in the late Tang Dynasty, bandits were rampant, and the wind still lingers. The court doesn't care about this place at all..."

Jin Wushu was secretly startled, no wonder there were few people in this area along the way.He was wondering why there were few business travelers and few pedestrians in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.He weighed whether to rush out or fight to the death. It seemed that since Lu Tisha's troops dared to run for thousands of miles, there would definitely be ambushes behind them.

"Lu Tisha, who are you instigated by?"

"Sajia is against the Bird Emperor."

Jin Wushu squinted his eyes: "Just because you are a reckless monk?"

"Hahaha, there is no way to fool the emperor, everyone will be punished, so what if he is a monk? Tang Taizong was still a monk to protect him and overthrow the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty. What's so strange about you?"

This reckless monk has subtleties in his roughness, and he is impeccable.

Jin Wushu suddenly asked: "Have you seen Hua Rong?"

Lu Tisha was taken aback, but did not answer.

Jin Wushu felt a strange doubt in his heart, and suddenly understood that Hua Rong and King Qin must have no knowledge of what Lu Tixia did.

As soon as he had this idea, he immediately regained his spirits: "Lu Tixia, you are pretending to be a ghost, why don't you even dare to tell Hua Rong? What's wrong with you?"

"The Sa Family has its own account to A-Mei, wanting you to mind your own business? By the way, Fourth Prince, if you dare to pester A-Mei in the future, the Sa Family will let you go around today..."

"Hahaha... My fair lady, gentlemen are so good, if this crown prince marries a woman from the Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be a beautiful story in history? Don't you all praise Wang Zhaojun very much?"

Lu Tixia was furious: "You are so shameless. Wang Zhaojun is Yunying and unmarried; my younger sister is a married woman, how dare you not even understand this bit of etiquette..."

"You are a monk, a monk, you keep worrying about the world of mortals, and you keep distracting thoughts..."

Lu Tiha didn't answer at all, and rushed towards the general with a wave of his Zen stick: "You don't have to push and procrastinate for time, everyone, come on, first bind the fourth prince..."

Jin Wushu secretly said that it was not good, but this pretty monk actually acted seriously. It seems that the intention of negotiating is not so strong.As a last resort, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd.

The two sides fought again, Jin Wushu didn't want to fight at all, he saw a gap, and rushed out in the lead.His mount is a rare BMW, not outstanding in appearance, even a little thin, but it is really a BMW that travels thousands of miles a day, although it is not as dazzling as the black horse, it is more practical.This sudden rush, and the guards desperately protecting him, unexpectedly rushed him out.Where did Lu Tixia allow him to escape?He picked up his Zen staff and chased after him.

However, the horse's speed was too fast, and Jin Wushu had already run ahead.Behind him, Wu Qimai and a few other guards rushed to catch up.

Jin Wushu heaved a sigh of relief. For the first time in many years, he was in danger alone, and beads of sweat kept falling down.Soon, it will rush out of this huge pine forest.

The outside line of sight suddenly opened up.He knew that there was a market a few tens of miles ahead, and it was easier to hide when he went to a crowded place.

He hit his horse and galloped as fast as he could.

Behind him, the sound of Lu Tisha chasing after him can be heard endlessly.

But, gradually, it has gone away.

He was lucky that he escaped the rest of his life, but, faintly, it was not that simple.

In the inn, a lamp is like a bean, and the early winter weather makes the window paper pale yellow and dim, and the smoky memory seems to be engraved in the bones, just like the last dying of the Song Dynasty.

Jin Wushu raised the jug and took a sip.

There are only five people around.

Suddenly I felt lonely, extremely lonely; out of the twenty elites I selected, only five were left in the end.It was as if his body was slowly spiraling into a huge whirlpool, sinking into it, in the swamp, his footsteps sank step by step, but he didn't know how to struggle to get ashore.

Wu Qimai was dejected: "Fourth prince, let's go back!"

The other four also looked at him with the same expression.Song Guo, the current situation is treacherous, it is indeed a place where one should not stay too long.

Jin Wushu smiled wryly: "Why don't I want to go back? But, can we go now?"

As early as the two illegitimate sons of Queen Mother Wei disappeared, I and others were targeted and became meat on the chopping board, without any choice!
Only escape!

Keep running away.

"Fourth prince, what should we do?"

"Escape is not an option either! I think they definitely want to use us. Otherwise, Lu Tisha would never let us escape today."

Wu Qimai asked, "Why did Lu Tiha become so supernatural?"

This is what Jin Wushu wanted to ask.

No one has an answer.

He took another sip of wine and fell into deep thought.The current situation in the Song Kingdom is very delicate. King Qin and Lu Tijutsu are attacking from both sides. However, the scale of the war is limited to the sea. For countries with land and grasslands, this kind of battle cannot cause large-scale panic. .

Wu Qimai suddenly said: "King Qin will definitely go ashore to find Lu Tijutsu."

"Of course. When Hua Rong was in the Kingdom of Jin, she accidentally revealed that she had searched for Lu Tixia's whereabouts many times, but she couldn't find it..." He still remembered that after Hua Rong failed to assassinate Zhao Deji, he then I went north by myself, and along the way, when I passed Xiangyang, Hongye Town, Donglin Temple and other places, I went to look for Lu Tijutsu many times.

Now that Lu Tixia has made such a big commotion, King Qin is not blind, how can he not get any news?Hua Rong must go ashore.

Wu Qimai suddenly said: "Fourth prince, the villain has a plan..."

"tell me the story."

"Now King Qin is fighting against the imperial court, and Lu Tijutsu and others are obviously trying to take advantage of the fire. We might as well leak the news on purpose to create rumors that King Qin and the Jin army are colluding with each other, cooperating internally and externally to defeat Zhao Deji. In this way, their internal strife will intensify. We Only then can I take the opportunity to escape..."

"Oh? Aren't you helping Zhao Deji?"

"I'm not helping Zhao Deji, I'm helping ourselves! Right now, there is nothing more important than getting us out!"

Jin Wushu pondered over the feasibility of this strategy.

"Fourth prince, you must not be soft-hearted anymore, we are forced to do nothing."

He smiled wryly: "This prince wants to help Hua Rong...not to help Zhao Deji create a commanding height of public opinion..."

Wu Qimai disdained: "Whether it's Zhao Deji or King Qin, they are dogs eating dogs. As long as we can escape, who cares about them? At least, Zhao Deji's threat to us is not that great..."

Before the words were finished, there was a commotion by the window, and the passengers in the small shop screamed.

"Stop, don't move..."

"No one is allowed to move...the court searched for spies..."

"Anyone who shields a spy will be punished with a third class..."

……

Everyone jumped out of the opened windows.

This position has been favored for a long time, the horse is just below, and a guard is watching in disguise.Everyone flew on their horses, hit the horses and ran away.I could only hear the shouting from behind: "Hurry up, the spy is there... hurry up, the spy..."

The officers and soldiers of the imperial court had a lot of bluff, and Jin Wushu and others ran first, how could they catch up?He only shouted for a while in the back, and then fell silent.

The crowd didn't dare to stop, and they ran for twenty or thirty miles before stopping.

It was a deserted field.It's early winter again, everything has been harvested, there is no food, and the dry food they brought is exhausted, everyone is hungry and thirsty, a guard went to find some water, and picked back a bunch of leftover oranges anyway, no one cared about being picky, Eat and chew.

However, after eating the oranges, I still feel hungry.

"Fourth prince, let's go further, there is our contact point ahead."

Jin Wushu cheered up slightly.In the past ten years, there were originally 72 secret strongholds placed in the territory of Song Dynasty by Qin Hui. After several losses, there are less than ten places left.

He regained his energy and sat up: "Everyone, don't slack off, hurry on the road overnight, and go to a safe place first."

"Yes."

Clear water spring.

This is not the name of a spring, but the name of a village, because there is a small lake called Bishui next to the village, so it got its name.

A very quiet Zhuangzi, the night is quiet, and the head of the village is the well-known Zhao Yuanwai.

A group of people quietly approached the Zhao family's mansion, a tall mansion, with a black plaque on which were written the four characters of "high morality and prestige".No one in the world knows that this Zhao Yuanwai has secretly surrendered to the Jin people since the Jingkang catastrophe, and has become one of the most important transit points for the Jin people to explore the news of the Song Dynasty on this main road.

His qualifications are even older than Qin Hui, and even Qin Hui himself does not know the existence of Zhao Yuanwai.

Zhao Yuanwai's family of several generations of squires is a well-known family of history books.At the time of the Jingkang disaster, Jin Wushu was still young and not yet the main general. He went south in disguise, one for sightseeing, and the other for collecting the most detailed mountains and rivers maps of the Song Dynasty, dangerous defenses, etc., and making them into military maps. It also contributed indirectly.Zhao Yuanwai was the one who met him at this time.Zhao Yuanwai was overwhelmed by the eloquence of this alien prince, and of course, more importantly, was overwhelmed by Da Jin's powerful soldiers and horses, so he quietly acted as the internal support of Jin Wushu, loyal and loyal.

This time, Jin Wushu originally wanted to transfer Empress Dowager Wei's two illegitimate sons here, but because of the long distance, he stayed in another stronghold halfway because he was afraid of side effects.Unexpectedly, it got lost.Jin Wushu regretted it a lot, he should have sent it here if he knew this earlier.

Along the way, everyone's itinerary was kept very secret, and they changed disguises one after another.

It was not until they were sure that no one was following them that they reined in their horses and stopped at a lookout point, and then they went silently to Zhao's residence.

What they walked was not the main entrance, but a secret side entrance.

However, before he approached the side door, he felt something was wrong.

Jin Wushu's heart sank, and he stopped in his tracks, but he heard the sound coming from the main entrance—it was crying, crying loudly.

"Master, you died so badly..."

"Master... who killed you..."

"Master...Young Master, Young Master also died so badly..."

……

The family members of the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao, five or six concubines of Mr. Zhao, and even his newly married concubine when he was 70 years old, his daughter-in-law, and several young sons are all screaming for land...

At noon today, Zhao Yuanwai and his eldest son died together in their own courtyard.It was killed by someone, and the murderer had no clue, no trace at all.

The Zhao family has already reported to the officials, and Tolerance and Wu Zuo inspected the bodies of the father and son, tossing and turning, investigating all suspicious persons in the house.

Jin Wushu murmured that it was not good, and made a gesture, not daring to approach Zhao's house at all, and ran away immediately.

He got on his horse in a sheltered place and ran non-stop for another thirty or forty miles before stopping.
