39. The Song Dynasty Night Talk
King Ning didn't come for a while.
The front line has been really not peaceful these days. The Liao Kingdom is determined to send troops south, and the Jin Kingdom is ready to move. It also needs to be guarded against Japanese pirates coming from the sea. Although the dynasty has more soldiers and enough food, it has been so many years since the emphasis on culture and military affairs. There are too few military generals who can fight. But as the war comes, officials in the court who advocate peace talks have written letters to request peace talks.
Emperor Hongqing was a rare king with no opinion. The peace faction made sense. He nodded when he heard it. The war faction cried and tried to fight, and he was also brought to the blood. He wished he could not lead the army in person. The two sides could not argue, so he could hear one head and two big ones.
Almost all the members of the rebel group under him were pro-war factions. At this time, the dynasty was in a strong state. He did not fight before, but because of the lack of national strength, now he is only raising millions of soldiers. Could it be that he is looking good?
Emperor Hongqing did not have much favoritism for this emperor who was better than him, and even had a vague sense of defense. He was originally a little shaken, but when he heard that King Ning was in charge of the battle, he immediately exploded the house. Not only did he send King Ning to the Liao Kingdom, but he also planned to ask for a letter of peace and issued an imperial decree to let General Li Jing, who was guarding the front line of the Song and Liao dynasties withdraw his troops and quit the battle. After a morning court, the small chauvinist also exploded. He was so angry that he was yelling to rebel Hongqing's son.
Lin Yuan sat aside with tea, a little absent-minded. Bianjing was comfortable and had not yet reached the point where the troops were at the city. The officials present were not so nervous about the war. Most of them had never seen blood. What made everyone angry was the emperor's cowardice and jealousy of the war. Just like him, he was more worried about his sister than the war.
My sister obviously had a grudge against the prince. Now she is busy with affairs in the court and can't expect the prince to coax him, but he is an outsider, so how could he coax his sister to change her mind? But her sister can't live without the prince. He knew that his sister was not willing to do so, and even thought about death, so he couldn't bear to force her.
The little dynasty did not discuss what resulted in it. Although Emperor Hongqing was incompetent, he knew that he had appointed relatives to control the defense forces of the capital. Although there were military generals in the rebellion regiment, they could not relieve their near thirst. The prince was in the capital and was taken to the front line by Emperor Hongqing's men. Before the local troops arrived in the capital, they could not say that they would be stewed by Emperor Hongqing. King Ning also sighed, letting everyone scatter, leaving only Lin Yuan and two confidants.
"Prince, we'll..."
One of the confidants spoke quickly, but before he finished speaking, King Ning waved his hand and said calmly: "Zi'an, please clean up after you go back. At night, take Lord Lin and Xiao Yan with you. There will be someone to pick you up ten miles outside the city. Wang Sheng, you will leave with me immediately. Gong Zhou stays in Bian Jing. If there is any abnormal movement, contact the spies in the city according to the originally planned method. I will set off to the border between Song and Liao."
Lin Yuan suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Prince, you are..."
A trace of coldness was brought into King Ning's eyes, and he said, "Song-Liao peace talks are tantamount to plotting against tigers. Today, we will cut five cities and ten cities to pay tribute every year. We will come to court every year. Zhao Ming's son can tolerate it. I can't bear it. The capital is difficult to get down. I have 700,000 soldiers in my hand. Why should I hold on for a while? I want to establish another capital and become emperor immediately."
Lin Yuan never knew that Ning Wang had such a big trump card in his hand, but the two confidants did not show too many surprised expressions. Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Forget it, Xiao Yan, what if his father refused to leave?"
"I will leave two secret guards. If necessary, I will knock Lord Lin out. You must leave before dark. Once you find that I am missing, Zhao Ming will immediately react. Even if you want to leave, you can't leave."
Lin Yuan nodded, turned around and was about to leave. Ning Wang called him and said, "If Xiaoyan is unwilling to leave, just use the method to Lord Lin. I promise you that as long as you settle down, she will be the queen immediately."
Two secret guards followed Lin Yuan back to the Lin Mansion, saying that it was protection, but more of a control. The prince could not stay too much and had to leave immediately. Who knows whether this fox-like Lin Yuan would suddenly betray the prince? You must know that this time his prince not only left Beijing, but also abandoned all the officials who supported him in the court. Once the great cause was not revealed, the loyalty of these people in the front would be the greater the waves to counterattack later.
Lin Yuan also knew this truth. He didn't do anything along the way. He returned home to pack up some clothes and books, had dinner normally, and in the afternoon he went to the office of the Censorate. When he came back at night, two secret guards stared at him and went to the main hall to see Lin Wenying. Without saying a word, a secret guard fainted Lin Wenying and said to Lin Yuan: "Sir Xiaolin, should we go with you, or should you invite the princess out?"
Lin Yuan said lightly: "Of course I'm going."
The two secret guards made a gesture of inviting each other, but after he left, they looked at each other. One stayed in place and looked at Lin Wenying who was stunned, and the other quietly followed Lin Yuan, who knew how to do martial arts, to prevent him from escaping and calling people.
Yao Xia didn't see Lin Yuan all day, but he came to night, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Lin Yuan asked all the girls in the room to go out, took Yao Xia's hand, looked outside, and took her to the bedroom, and his expression became serious.
"Xiao Yan, don't ask anything now. Pack up your things. I will take you on the carriage later. My father fainted. Don't shout or cry when you see him. We will leave the city immediately."
Yao Xia widened her eyes and asked, "Brother..."
Lin Yuan held her hand and said calmly, "We have no other choice, we can only try it out. I know you don't like the prince, but to me, nothing is more important than your life."
Yao Xia has read the original work and there are very few places to mention Lin Yan, and there is no such plot. However, she guessed something from Lin Yuan's face and the meaning in her words, and couldn't help but frown slightly. She had already vaguely understood what Lin Yan's illness was like from King Ning's words. Last night, she and Hongyue had become husband and wife. Now her cheeks are red all day long and her limbs are warm, which confirms her guess. What's more, she has followed Lin Yuan now. What should Hongyue do when she comes back?
Lin Yuan didn't know what Yao Xia was hesitating. Just as he was about to persuade him, the door was pushed open by the secret guard. The secret guard bowed respectfully, but said with some suspicion in his tone: "Mr. Lin, the prince said, you can't stay in Bianjing for a long time. If the princess is unwilling to leave, let us be knocked out and taken away."
"Don't come over." Yao Xia pulled his hand back from Lin Yuan's palm, stepped back a few steps, and showed a look of vigilance on his face.
If the secret guards had eaten Xiong Xin and Leopard's courage, they would not dare to approach their princess. But today's matter was urgent. They said offense and would come in and faint Yao Xia. In the flash, Yao Xia pulled out a cold-lit sword from under the pillow, and the tip of the sword was pressed against his neck.
Lin Yuan was shocked and said, "Xiao Yan!"
The secret guard immediately did not dare to move. He was not the prince and did not have the skill of flying stones to point the acupoints. The sword was extremely sharp at first glance. It was facing the deadly part of the neck. Perhaps his princess would lose her life if she trembled with her hand.
Yao Xia said coldly: "Brother, if you have to take me away, you can take my body away."
"Xiao Yan, put the sword down first, we won't get close to you..." Lin Yuan said, raising his hand and retreating several steps, and the secret guard also took two steps back, indicating that he had no malice.
Yao Xia said coldly: "He has been lying to us from the beginning. The solution to the natural Yin meridian is not that troublesome. He is lying to his brother to surrender to him. I will never marry such a person even if I die!"
Lin Yuan was stunned. He looked at the secret guard, but the secret guard suddenly reacted. He caught Lin Yuan over, strangled his neck with one hand, and said to Yao Xia: "The princess must have misunderstood something. The prince is sincere to the princess. When he sees the prince, he will explain to the princess... Put down the sword!"
The sword in the sleeve in Yao Xia's hand trembled slightly, and the dark guard's gaze couldn't help but fall on the sword. The sword in the sleeve did not look very beautiful. There was a strange symbol engraved on the hilt of the sword underneath. A small half of the symbol was covered by Yao Xia's sleeve and could not be seen clearly. However, it was only half of the symbol, but the pupils of the dark guard shrank.
"Let me go first!" The tip of the sword in Yao Xia's hand stabbed the upward part of the neck and carotid artery without hesitation. It was only a little bit before blood was splattered five steps.
The secret guard collapsed and found that even if he took the hostage, he was still threatened. On the one hand, he was afraid that his princess would really commit suicide, and on the other hand, he was extremely concerned about the symbol mark on the sword in his sleeve.
At this moment, a black light flew out from the window and hit the hand that locked Lin Yuan's neck without bias. The force was too great. While the lock guard let go, he also shocked Lin Yuan so hard that he coughed repeatedly.
Yao Xia looked at it and saw a little beggar wearing a ragged dress at the window. Looking at her twelve or thirteen years old, she immediately waved her hand with a smile, "Hong Ye is going to Liao Kingdom, let us protect our sister-in-law!"
The secret guard wanted to escape, but before he could step back, he found in horror that his hand, which was hit by the black light, was filled with black air at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon a stiff and cold feeling spread throughout his body, and he fell down straight.
The little beggar jumped out of the window and helped Lin Yuan up, who was coughing. Yao Xia seemed to have taken off her strength, and her legs were weak. The little beggar went to help her sit on the bed again. Lin Yuan coughed several times, took a little rest, and asked Yao Xia, "Xiao Yan, what did you mean just now? Prince..."
The author has something to say: Hongyue: I only can't imagine my betrothal gift, but I can't do it without it.
Little beggar: Master Hong, you almost got someone to steal your home...
Hongyue:...
