Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Chapter 65 [Conspiracy to Destroy the City]

Zhao Pu survived a catastrophe because of a small joke by his youngest son, and escaped a long-planned and sinister plot.

In addition, this time, in addition to being lucky to get out of danger, I also got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Although many people died on the other side, and the attackers were all arrested, they probably didn't know that Zhao Pu was not injured." Zhan Zhao suggested, "It's better to use the plan."

Bao Zheng also felt that this was a good idea, "It seems that the Ninth Prince is the confidant of the manipulator. If he thinks that the scheme succeeds, the other party will definitely carry out the next plan, and we can catch them all."

"Does that mean I should pretend to be dead?" Zhao Pu asked, "It's not difficult."

"But..." Mr. Bao thought for a while, and seemed to feel that something was a little wrong, "The prince has a high position, if the news spreads to the border, will the army's morale be unstable?"

Everyone frowned—it was true.

"Don't be afraid." Ouyang said, "I can send someone to inform Yihang, he has a way to deal with it."

"Don't worry." Zhao Pu waved his hand. "I don't know how many times the news of my death has been spread around the border. Even if Zhao's army saw my dead body, they wouldn't believe it unless I got up and told them that I was really dead."

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"This matter has to be discussed in the long term, and it must be realistic and convincing!" Bao Zheng said, standing up, "There must be someone outside the Kaifeng mansion waiting for news, so I will go into the palace right away, on the one hand to report to the emperor that I am safe, on the other hand On the one hand... this strategy requires the cooperation of the emperor."

Everyone nodded.

Bao Zheng stood up and did not forget to say to Zhan Zhao before going out, "Guard Zhan, take someone to arrest Huang's son-in-law overnight, and don't forget to play a full set, take Mr. Gongsun to bring back all the herbs , just pretend to be researching the antidote."

Zhan Zhao naturally understood that, together with Bai Yutang, he took Gongsun to the Huang Mansion to "ransack" the house.

To be honest, this is the first time that Zhan Zhao brought someone to ransack the house after he came to Kaifeng mansion for so long, but Huang's mansion was already empty, and Huang Yuanwai and Cao Jian packed up their belongings and fled away.

In fact, Bao Zheng had already arranged eyeliners to keep an eye on these two people. They disguised themselves as peasant women and planned to sneak out of Kaifeng overnight. Unfortunately, they were arrested just after they left the city gate and were imprisoned in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion.The difference between the two people is that although it is understandable that their family members were kidnapped and threatened, they did not report the murder of Zhao Pu after all. Once Zhao Pu really dies, it may lead to chaos in the world, which can be described as a heinous crime!

The "scratch house" went smoothly. When everyone returned to Kaifeng Mansion, they found that the entire yamen was surrounded by the Forbidden Army. Ouyang Shaozheng personally led people to guard it. The whole Kaifeng seemed to suddenly enter a state of inexplicable tension. The mountain rain was about to come. floor feeling.

There was a carriage parked at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Although it was deliberately low-key, it could be seen from this style that Zhao Zhen came out of the palace in disguise.

After entering Kaifeng Mansion, I saw a lot of things in the yard. Zhao Zhen was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the yard, with the fourth son sitting on his lap, and the two seemed to be chatting.

Zhao Pu kept a low profile these days, he was not allowed to go anywhere, he could only squint in the mansion, playing chess with Tianzun.

When everyone entered the door, they were a little surprised to see Zhao Zhen there.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I came here specially to express my thanks to my youngest son. He has saved the Great Song Dynasty. He has made a remarkable achievement. I will reward him well."

Gongsun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this time he really left. I don't know what kind of luck, if the younger brother hadn't tied up Zhao Pu's Xintinghou with white silk like a rabbit, Zhao Pu might not have noticed the poison on the silk. If you are accidentally tricked, it will indeed be a catastrophe.

Zhao Zhen continued to tease the fourth son, Hong Jiuniang came out and told Gongsun that Yao Qing had taken medicine and was now asleep.

Gongsun went in to see her, leaving everyone in the courtyard to discuss the next step.

"Is there any movement from Zhao Yuanzuo?" Zhao Pu asked Zou Liang who was dispatching people.

"Not yet, but there seems to be people gathered in the Taiping Mountain area." Zou Liang pulled out a map from his waist and spread it flat on the stone table. "Some people also found a lot of light in the Dongshan area at night. Passed by with a torch, but then disappeared."

"Taiping Mountain and Dongshan Mountain..." Zhao Pu stroked his chin, "One is west and the other is east, which is interesting."

Zhao Zhen leaned on the stone table with his chin in one hand, and pinched the chubby arm of Xiao Sizi with the other, and asked, "Where are so many people coming from? They aren't soldiers, are they bandits?"

"Don't forget about people like Xing'er and the others last time." Zhan Zhao reminded, "There is another Peach Blossom Empress in Muzhao Country who has not been caught. She seems to be good at controlling people and turning them into puppets to work for her."

"Mu Zhaoguo." Gongsun came out of the room, "This name really becomes more difficult to pronounce."

"Gongsun, how is Aunt Qing?" Zhan Zhao was worried.

"It's okay, she was slapped with a poisonous palm, and Yinhou used his internal force to help her expel the poison. She has already fallen asleep after drinking the medicine, and she will probably wake up tomorrow morning."

Zhan Zhao was relieved.

"Looking..." Bai Yutang said to himself, "If it is changed to the same pronunciation of Mu and Zhao, wouldn't it be a peach?"

Everyone was stunned, and they all frowned and began to think—really, Muzhao Country, isn't it Peach Country?

"Could it really have something to do with Zhang Meiren back then?" Zhao Zhen pondered, "This peach blossom debt is crazy enough."

At this time, Nangong Ji walked in and whispered something in Zhao Zhen's ear.

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen laughed suddenly, "Can't hold it anymore? Or do you want to find out the truth?"

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "Zhao Yuanzuo is going to enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint."

Everyone was stunned.

"He entered the palace?" Bao Zheng frowned, "Going to the court? He hasn't been to the court for at least 20 years, has he come all of a sudden?"

"It's not going to the court." Zhao Zhen said, "It's because he's not in good health recently, and he misses Kaifeng and the palace a little bit, and wants to come and catch up with the Queen Mother, probably just to drop by."

"Beware of ghosts." Zhao Pu was not at ease. "I don't know who is around him. If this matter really has something to do with him, it's too dangerous to meet him alone."

"Last time a monster attacked at night, and this time a ghost came out." Bao Zheng was also a little worried about Zhao Zhen's safety.

"Tianzun." Zhao Pu suddenly pushed the chess pieces aside, "I admit defeat."

Ouyang Shaozheng and Zou Liang saw it from the side, and both gasped... Zhao Pu has never lost in chess.

Zhao Zhen was also surprised—could it be that Tianzun's chess skills are amazing?

Tianzun glanced at Zhao Pu.

"Hehe." Zhao Pu sat next to Tianzun with a teacup, and served him tea, "Your old man is very good at chess."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—yo, Zhao Pu is also a flatterer, and his mouth is quite sweet.

Tianzun looked at him with a smile, and took the tea he handed over.

Zhao Pu took advantage of the heat to strike the iron, "there is a fine Biluochun in the palace, and the queen mother has also treasured up two hundred-year-old cellars. Your old man is also idle, why don't you go to the palace for a few drinks tomorrow?"

Everyone looked at the sky and knew it well... Zhao Pu deliberately lost to Tianzun to make him happy, and by the way, he said good things and asked Tianzun to stay in the palace for two days. Zhao Yuanzuo will enter the palace tomorrow.

Zhao Zhen knew what Zhao Pu was thinking as soon as he heard it, and quickly smiled and invited Tianzun to stay in the palace for two days. If he wanted to treat him well, he would just thank him for catching the assassin last time.

Tianzun took a sip of tea and said, "It's fine for me to go, but...someone is actually more suitable."

Everyone blinked—more suitable than Tianzun?

While he was talking, he saw the door of the room where Yao Qing was resting at the back of the yard opened, and Hou Yin came out saunteringly.

Tianzun winked at Zhao Zhen beside him.

Zhao Zhen froze slightly, Tianzun's meaning... seemed to be to let them go to Yinhou.

Although Yinhou's identity and relationship with Zhan Zhao were tacitly understood by everyone present, theoretically, Yinhou was just Zhan Zhao's "cousin", and no one would deliberately identify him.

Tianzun asked everyone to invite Yinhou to enter the palace, which naturally has his reasons. In terms of martial arts, the two are not equal. Experienced.

Zhao Zhen didn't need Zhao Pu to play tricks anymore, he got up and walked to Yinhou's side, and respectfully invited him into the palace for a drink.

Yin Hou was still a little puzzled at first, thinking that the little emperor is quite leisurely, and he still invites himself to drink?

Zhan Zhao explained the situation to him, Yin Hou thought about it, and nodded in agreement readily, while looking at Tianzun.Tianzun moved to Bai Yutang's side and said he wanted to eat supper.

After sitting for a while, Zhao Zhen went back to the palace. Marquis Yin promised to go there tomorrow morning, and everyone else was busy, so Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Why is it more appropriate for your grandfather to go than my master?"

Zhan Zhao also couldn't figure it out, so the two went to ask Tianzun who was sitting in a row with the fourth son, each eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls.

Seeing the two people asking, Tianzun said, "Do you still remember that falcon?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback.

"That old ghost knows a lot more messy people than I do, and he seems to have a better memory than I do. Besides, he is your relative after all." Tianzun said, showing his finger, "You are in public. Door, let Zhao Zhen owe your grandfather favors, so I won’t embarrass you in the future. Yutang doesn’t eat public meals. I saved them once in the palace before, and I have already benefited him. I don’t need more. It’s better to let it to you. It’s better in the future Do something." After finishing speaking, he ate the last glutinous rice ball, stood up and rubbed his belly, and carried the little four who also rubbed his stomach to the yard, "Let's go, little four, I will teach you a set of Taijiquan to eliminate food."

Tianzun took the fourth son to practice Tai Chi, but left Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang staring at each other.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Is Tianzun pretending to be ignorant?"

Bai Yutang is helpless, after all, his age is only a fraction of Tianzun's. With his all-powerful experience back then, it's not surprising that he has unpredictable capabilities...but Tianzun would deliberately think for Zhan Zhao's sake, which is really beyond Bai Yutang. According to Tang's prediction, it seems that Tianzun is very fond of this cat.But it's not surprising that everyone loves this cat.

In the early morning of the next day, Marquis Yin entered the palace with Bao Zheng after breakfast. Tianzun got up early, stood in the courtyard with his youngest son, stretched, held a cup, and gargled with his face upside down.

"Haha..." Ziying walked in with a yawn.

Zhan Zhao, who was washing his face by the well, saw his dark circles and asked curiously, "Did you not sleep last night?"

"No, there are so many prisoners to be interrogated, and none of your Yamen servants in Kaifeng Mansion know how to interrogate prisoners. They are more polite than the master." Ziying complained.

Zhan Zhao was startled, "Didn't you go to torture to extract a confession? My lord hates torture to extract a confession the most."

"Don't worry." Ziying blinked, "I'm very light."

"Then did you find out anything?" Bai Yutang asked.

"No, the other party's hands and feet are clean!" Ziying spread her hands, "I can't ask anything. The worst is Huang Yuanwai and Cao Jian, who begged us to go to Huang Ruiyun and Mrs. Huang, and said that Huang Ruiyun was pregnant with a child or something. "

"Speaking of it." Zhan Zhao also felt the need to look for it, "Since this Huang Ruiyun is a fake, where did he really go?"

"Actually, I told you yesterday." Gongsun said while washing the fourth son's face and rubbing the towel, "I repaired the burnt maid's body before, and the body may belong to Huang Ruiyun. "

Everyone looked at Gongsun with wide eyes.

Gongsun nodded, also regretfully, "Ninety-nine are not far from ten."

"If member Huang knows that his own daughter is dead, he has been helping the murderer, and committed a crime that almost wiped out his family, I don't know what kind of mentality he will have." Zhan Zhao shook his head and sighed, "It's a disaster without reason."

At this time, Chen Xing'er ran out, "Sir, Aunt Qing is awake!"

Gongsun hurried into the house, and everyone followed.

At this moment, Yao Qing and Hong Jiuniang were hugging each other and crying on the bed.

Everyone stood awkwardly at the door, neither entering nor exiting.

"Zhao, come here!" Hong Jiuniang greeted Zhan Zhao, wiping away her tears.

Zhan Zhao walked over and bowed to Aunt Qing. After all, the relationship is special and they are very close.

Yao Qing's injury was not serious, she wanted to find Marquis Yin, but Zhan Zhao said that she had gone to the palace.

Aunt Qing frowned, "With the Palace Mistress here, nothing will happen."

"What's going on?" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure out why Aunt Qing went to Burma and got involved with Muzhao.

Aunt Qing told everyone about a past event.

In fact, she was not missing back then, but was assassinated and seriously injured when she went to work in southern Burma.

The one who plotted against her was a woman with extraordinary kung fu and a silk scarf covering her face.

After Aunt Qing woke up, she found that her appearance had been changed, and she almost couldn't recognize herself.Afterwards, a masked woman told her that she had been poisoned and that if she wanted to survive, she had to do something for her.

Zhan Zhao and the others frowned slightly—could that be Empress Peach Blossom?I also thought of the ghost hand's fake disguise technique, maybe it was also the method of the Peach Blossom Empress.

Fortunately, Aunt Qing learned how to move acupoints from Yin Hou.

She found that all of her acupoints had been pierced with poisonous needles, so she was controlled by someone, so she used Yi acupuncture points to quietly pull out the poisonous needles while the person was out, and escaped.

When she escaped, she found that she was hidden in a cave in the deep mountain. She was poisoned because she forcibly pulled out the poisonous needle, and finally rolled down the cliff accidentally, unconscious.

However, she survived the catastrophe. Aunt Qing rolled down the hillside and landed in the territory of Myanmar, where she was rescued by an old man in Myanmar.The doctor detoxified Aunt Qing, but after detoxification, Aunt Qing forgot some things. The doctor said that it was because the poison was still in her body, and the past had to be completely detoxified, and it took at least ten years to detoxify.

Yao Qing had no choice but to stay in the deep mountain to be the doctor's apprentice. She didn't remember the past, but remembered the present, such as the woman who hurt her.

The old man told Yao Qing that the poison she was poisoned by was the poison of the drunken flower, which is so strange and evil that it is forbidden to grow it in Myanmar.

In this way, Yao Qing lived in Myanmar while treating her illness... Because of her good kung fu, she established a sect, and later became an important minister in Myanmar.

About a few years ago, the poison in Yao Qing's body was completely eliminated, and she also became a high official in Myanmar. The King of Myanmar relied on her very much, and she also had many disciples there. Even if she missed the Central Plains and the Demon Palace, she couldn't come back.

Originally, she wanted to rest for a few days and go back to the Central Plains to find Marquis Yin.But at that time, a strange thing happened——a Mu Zhaoguo who didn't know how to arise, started to stir up trouble!The army of Muzhao country was good at fighting, and soon annexed all the small tribes in the Nanman area.What surprised Yao Qing the most was that she secretly caught a female soldier from Muzhao Country, and found that they were controlled by poisonous needles, just like herself back then.

Therefore, Yao Qing paid special attention to Mu Zhaoguo.

This time, Yao Qing asked for the position of envoy after hearing that the National Assembly sent an envoy to Kaifeng. On the one hand, she felt that the State of Muzhao might have another purpose, and on the other hand, she wanted to meet Marquis Yin and the brothers and sisters of the Demon Palace.

"Aunt Qing, do you know who the masked man is?" Zhan Zhao asked after he knew the whole story, roughly understood the situation.

"I'm not very clear, but there is one thing you must be careful about!" Yao Qing said, "All the soldiers in Muzhao are women. The way for these women to capture a city is very simple. They don't have a uniform or armor, and It is wearing the clothes of ordinary people, sneaking into a city for several days. Women are not easy to be suspected, and wearing skirts can easily hide some weapons on their bodies. When the number of people gathers to a certain number, these women will suddenly Form an army with strong combat effectiveness, and cooperate with the outsiders to attack the city together."

Everyone frowned.

"I sent a lot of people to spy around Kaifeng before, and found that many people have indeed disappeared recently, and a large number of outsiders have entered Kaifeng." Yao Qing sighed, "I was following the ghost hand, and wanted to find out further news so that I could help You, didn't expect to be plotted against, you thought you would die."

"If you can really control people with poisonous needles, it means that both men and women can be controlled." Zhao Pu frowned, "The ones who will be killed will not be the enemy soldiers but the people in the city. Hard enough."

Everyone nodded—you have to find a good way to deal with it.

"Maybe……"

At this time, Bai Yutang, who had been listening silently from the sidelines, suddenly said, "The clues have always been there, but we ignored them."

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and understood, "Yes! We did overlook some things."
