Dragon Pattern Roll Set

When Sun Wang talked about those years, he couldn’t help feeling, “The so-called time and destiny are also destiny. Some things like the throne are also predestined by heaven. The calculations are good at the beginning, but once it develops, the ending is often difficult to control, so that in the end People are not as good as God.”

Everyone listened patiently, and Yin Hou reminded him, "The important point."

"Let's put it this way, among so many princes and grandchildren back then, the first emperor Zhao Yuanxiu was the one who least expected to inherit the throne, and the second prince Zhao Yuanxi was the one who was most likely to inherit the throne, but the one who didn't want to inherit didn't even fight for it." The battle for the throne fell from the sky. The one who should inherit the most was bloody and bloody, but in the end it was nothing. After the first emperor ascended the throne, he sent someone to find the whereabouts of Zhang Meiren. After the substitute escaped from the control of Peach Blossom Empress , felt that the most dangerous place was the safest, so she lived in Kaifeng. When she was with Zhao Yuanxi, she often played a piece of music, because of missing, she often played it...then, she was found by the late emperor."

Everyone nodded—it turned out to be the case.

"The first emperor did not embarrass the mother and daughter, but gave them some help so that they could live in Kaifeng." Sun Wang said, "Originally he wanted to take the little princess into the palace, but the lady said that she hoped that her daughter would stay away from the royal family and live a normal life." human life."

Speaking of this, everyone frowned slightly. The idea was good, but why should they be obsessed with covering their faces?

"But the problem is that the lady doesn't know whether it's because she misses her deceased husband too much, or because Empress Peach Blossom poisoned her in the early years." Sun Wang spread his hands, "Later, she became ill, crazy."

"Madness?" Tianzun frowned, "Could it be that when I met her later, I always smiled when I saw her, because of her illness?"

"It's possible, and of course there's another possibility." Sun Wang smiled wryly, "She couldn't tell whether she was the fake Zhang Meiren or the real Peach Blossom Empress. song."

Everyone can't help sighing, this relationship is still going crazy... It's a pity that her meeting with Zhao Yuanxi is a conspiracy, and naturally it will not have a good result. The mother and daughter are indeed innocent.

"The little girl probably listened to her mad mother's nonsense since she was a child, and she only remembered that his father knew the song, and her mother should have taught her to do the veil since she was a child. She didn't believe that her father was dead. She remembered it, and we will recognize each other in the future."

"Oh..." Zhan Zhao felt a little comprehensible, "It turned out that it was just her mother doing it in a daze. We really have some hints or secrets."

Bai Yutang smiled, thinking of the white cat that Marquis Yin had sent just now.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhan Zhao added with a smile, "It's like white sugar."

Bai Yutang looked at him, sugar or something, it really didn't please my ears.

However, Yin Hou asked curiously, "What sugar?"

Tianzun told him very gossip that Zhan Zhao named the little white cat Baitang.

The corner of Yin Hou's mouth twitched, "You must have a surname for your first name, just dip it in sugar."

Zhan Zhao started touching his chin.

Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun, what does that mean - you don't care?

Tianzun said with a smile, "It's good to dip in sugar."

"Dipping sugar for what?" Sun Wang asked without hesitation, "Dipping rice dumplings in sugar? I like red bean stuffing."

"Why did Empress Peach Blossom take revenge after so many years?" Bai Yutang wisely chose to change the subject and asked Sun Wang.

"Oh...that's more of a coincidence." Sun Wang smiled, "Did you recognize that Yao Susu from Myanmar?"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his head, "Aunt Qing? Recognized, she lost her memory due to poisoning..."

Speaking of this, everyone was taken aback.

"The substitute who attacked Empress Peach Blossom caused her to be poisoned and injured. Could it be the same as Yao Qing's injury?" Yin Hou asked, "The reason why she waited for so many years is because she forgot something. To take revenge?"

"That's right, and she doesn't remember the past, but she remembers the memories of her being affectionate with Zhao Yuanxi and Zhao Yuanxi abandoning her... So, the memories of the two real and fake Zhang Meiren overlapped!"

"Oh..." Tianzun understood, "It is also possible that what I saw at that time was the real Peach Blossom Empress, also because of amnesia, so her personality is very different from now?"

Sun Wang nodded, "This woman, her background is not simple."

"What's the origin?" Tianzun folded his arms and said to himself, "At that time, I thought she was quite pleasing to the eye, smiling all day long, even though her face was covered, her eyes were smiling."

"It seems that you have not only met her, but also Zhao Yuanxi, and heard him play the piano?" Bai Yutang reminded Tianzun.

Zhan Zhao saw Yinhou subconsciously glanced at Tianzun, his eyes... seemed a little complicated.

Tianzun looked at Bai Yutang expressionlessly, then raised his face and touched his chin, "Hmm... I don't remember."

Bai Yutang looked at him suspiciously, "You really don't remember or are you just pretending?"

"I really don't remember." Tianzun continued to look at the sky.

Zhan Zhao had seen this posture before, and Bai Yutang said that when Tianzun lied to others, he was like this, like a restless child.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and took a look at Bai Yutang - did Tianzun know the Zhao family's royal family?

Bai Yutang shook his head slightly - this shaking of the head, Zhan Zhao saw some emotions, Bai Yutang shook his head not to say that he didn't know, but to tell Zhan Zhao not to ask, and pretend not to know.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that the relationship between Bai Yutang and Tianzun was actually the opposite. If he and Yinhou were grandfathers who always doted on him and followed his wishes, then the relationship between Bai Yutang and Tianzun was that Bai Yutang always followed Tianzun.Whatever Tianzun likes, he indulges him endlessly. He just gives him a lot of money and asks him to buy some worthless fake things, but he is never displeased.It's also like every time Tianzun cheated and said some lies that the fourth son would not be deceived, Bai Yutang would believe it unconditionally.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously looked at Yin Hou, and saw that Yin Hou raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of admiration on his face—the boy is quite filial.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes - it seems that Yin Hou has a good impression of Bai Yutang.

"What is the origin of Empress Peach Blossom?" Bai Yutang continued to ask Sun Wang, still changing the subject.

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but... she seems to be a descendant of the Southern Tang Dynasty." Sun Wang said surprisingly.

Everyone nodded, no wonder they hate Mrs. Zhao so much...

"Hey, let me tell you." Sun Wang leaned over and said to Yin Hou, "Tell Zhao Pu not to kill those girls in Muzhao country. They are all innocent, and they were controlled by the Peach Blossom Empress with poison! Also, is there any way to detoxify them? ?”

Everyone looked at each other—in fact, Gongsun had already found a way to solve it. "When is the other party going to attack?" Zhan Zhao asked Sun Wang.

"Zhao Yuanzuo will test Pang Ji in a while. If there is no accident, I think we will go back tonight!"

"Oh, I'm so anxious..." Tianzun looked at Sun Wang, "Did you tell him that it's an auspicious time to get things done tonight?"

Sun Wang laughed, "Tianzun is still very smart after all these years, but I'm not lying to him, today is indeed an auspicious time!"

Everyone understands.

After bidding farewell to Sun Wang, everyone went back separately.

Sun Wang accompanied Zhao Yuanzuo to the Emperor's Residence for lunch, accompanied by Pang Ji and the Eighth Prince.

This scene was sung very well, Grand Master Pang and the Eighth Prince sang together, Pang Ji dodged, and the Eighth King was full of worries, especially after hearing Sun Wang's nonsense calculations.

Zhao Yuanzuo was cautious, but he was still not wary of Grand Master Pang, a "noob", and asked, "Is the main force of the Imperial City Army in the camp in the east city or in the camp in the west city?"

When the grand master said "Xicheng", Zhao Yuanzuo frowned slightly, nodded secretly, and asked, "Where are the troops brought by Zou Liang and others from the Zhao family army?"

The grand master thought about it again, "It's in the Tianwang Temple...not." The grand master observed Zhao Yuanzuo's expression while talking. The Tianwang Temple is located in the southeast of Kaifeng City.When he mentioned the Temple of Heavenly Kings, he saw Zhao Yuanzuo twitched his brows slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed, the movements were very subtle.

Seeing his expression, Grand Master Pang suddenly changed his words, "It's right near the Iron Buddha Temple, isn't it, my lord?"

At this moment, the Eighth Prince was "in a hurry" and didn't have any thoughts at all, so he nodded "inattentively", "Yeah."

Sure enough, Zhao Yuanzuo was overjoyed.

Taishi Pang secretly laughed - the fighting power of the Imperial City Army is naturally inferior to that of the Zhao Family Army. It seems that the Taohua Empress and Mu Zhaoguo's troops are in ambush to the east of Kaifeng City.If the Zhao family's army is bewitched by the intoxicating flower, and the imperial city army restrains and kills each other, the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will basically lose their ability to resist.And Empress Peach Blossom will be safe if she brings her own troops to attack the palace... They should end with Zhao Pu's Zhao family army first.It seems that the Tiefo Temple in the southeast is very convenient. The Taohua Empress should go to sneak attack after getting the news.

Naturally, Pang Ji was not worried. Nangong Ji, who was eavesdropping outside in ambush, had already understood and secretly informed Zhao Pu, who had been waiting a little irritable in Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as Zhao Pu heard this, he immediately asked Zou Liang to go to the southeast to set up a trap for the opponent, and then he would catch them all.

Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly bid farewell to Grand Master Pang and the Eighth Prince and wanted to report back.

But the Eighth Prince didn’t let him go, and pulled him to babble about the past, full of stories about how Zhao Pu was when he was a child, what about Zhao Pu at that time... Pang Ji secretly admired while drinking at the side—the prince hasn’t teased anyone for a long time, right? The play was so realistic.Seeing that the Eighth Prince was so sad that he was incoherent and even babbled, Zhao Yuanzuo was even more relieved - it seems that Zhao Pu is probably not good.

……

"Ah..." Zhao Pu sneezed, and Gongsun hurriedly carried away the fourth son on his lap, stuffed a piece of ginger candy into his mouth, and looked sideways at Zhao Pu, which meant—don't pass the cold to the fourth son!

Zhao Pu pouted, "Study, how about the antidote?"

"It's almost there!" Gongsun took out a pack of medicinal powder and handed it to Ouyang Shaozheng, "Take a large vat of rice wine, sprinkle the medicinal powder into it, and each soldier should drink a bowl. You must drink it! This can completely resist drunkenness. At that time, if you smell a strange fragrance of flowers, you will pretend to be tricked, enter the vicinity of the peach blossom forest, serve you with sulfur and smoke, and set fire to the peach blossoms!"

After finishing speaking, Gongsun took out several packs of medicinal powder and gave them to Dynasty Mahan Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, and asked them to sprinkle them in the wells and rivers in the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion.

The so-called life feels like a year is nothing more than that, the waiting before the war is the most anxious, even the fourth son can feel the tension of everyone.

After dinner, the fourth son ran out with Xiao Baitang in his arms, and saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sitting in the yard, Tianzun and Yinhou were playing chess, and Gongsun was looking through the files... Although they were busy with their own things, they all From time to time, he glanced at Zhao Pu in the corner of the courtyard.

What is Zhao Pu doing?I saw him lying on a soft couch, with the fattest raccoon cat in Zhan Zhao's yard on the back of his head, snoring like a sleeper.

Ouyang Shaozheng was busy checking the terrain and making final preparations, Zou Liang had already gone to the barracks, and Ziying was wiping Zhao Pu's knife.Since the previous incident, Ziying has carefully checked the condition of Xintinghou every day, all the gauze wrapping the knife, the deerskin for wiping the knife, and the leather pocket for holding the knife must be carefully checked.Ziying also specially learned the basic methods of testing poison from Gongsun.

Zhe Ying sat quietly without making a sound.

The fourth son came up to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and put the small white sugar with a "meow" on the table, asked Chen Xing'er for a bowl of fish, and fed it with the small fish between his chopsticks.

Chen Xing'er and Yue Ya'er were also ready. They had just secretly bought a lot of kerosene and sent it to Zhao Pu's barracks according to Bai Yutang's instructions. They felt that the surroundings were quiet and orderly.This sense of tension that is about to come may be the so-called eve of the great war!It's just... Seeing the marshal of the Great Song Dynasty lying on a fat cat in a very disfigured way, sleeping soundly, the two of them were a little speechless.

Chen Xing'er subconsciously raised her face and looked at the dark sky, which means—it doesn't matter!

Yue Ya'er suddenly asked Zi Ying in a low voice, "Has your marshal ever tried to fall asleep before going to war?"

The corner of Ziying's mouth twitched, "Of course... yes."

Everyone frowned—is that okay?

"It's nothing to fall asleep before the battle." Zhe Ying opened his eyes, "It's not uncommon for him to fall asleep in the middle of the fight."

"How do I fall asleep in the middle of the fight?" Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "Could it be that Zhao Pu has practiced the highest level of martial arts - sleeping skills?"

"Sleeping skill is also called Zhou Gongquan." Tianzun clicked his tongue twice, "Isn't it a legend? Really?"

"Such a high attainment?" Yin Hou also expressed surprise, "I haven't learned it yet."

Ziying smiled speechlessly, "The thing is like this, are the two sides fighting? After the marshal came out, Hei Xiao let out a long roar, which scared the horse on the opposite side to lie down halfway first. Then the prince woke up Xintinghou, hugged his Ask the opposite side which one will come to feed the knife first? The generals on the opposite side are scared, at first you push me and you push you, after pushing for about half an hour, the prince fell asleep waiting on the horse... Jiang Zi."

The fourth son was delighted to hear it, but everyone shook their heads.

"My lord, something has happened."

At this time, the black shadow landed on the wall and told Zhao Pu.

Everyone looked up, Zhao Pu opened his eyelids to look at him.

"Suddenly a large number of carriages passed by near Dongshan Peach Blossom Forest. They seemed to be transporting drinks, but they stopped near Dongshan and did not leave."

Zhao Pu closed his eyes and waved his hand, signaling—to explore again.

The shadow flickered and disappeared.

Everyone looked at Ziying and Zheying——that's it?

Ziying spread her hands—it has always been like this.

"Jiujiu." Seeing that Zhao Pu woke up, the fourth son ran over and climbed onto the rattan couch and lay on his belly, "Aren't you in a hurry when the war is about to start?"

Zhao Pu looked up at him, and stretched out his hands to pinch his soft cheeks, "What's the hurry, aren't there just a few girls..."

Before he finished speaking, Gongsun took away the fourth son with a look of disgust... If this continues, the fourth son will probably be the same as him, opening and closing his mouth are all swear words.

"My lord." Ouyang asked, "All the drinks have arrived, I guess they are about to start. There are more people going out for a walk after dinner, and the night market is also lively."

"Wait another hour and give them something sweet, otherwise the big mice won't come out of their holes, and there will be only little mice." Zhao Pu ordered to wait.

Ouyang nodded and ordered people to do things.

Bao Zheng and Pang Ji also walked into the courtyard, looked at each other, and nodded with satisfaction——my prince of the Great Song Dynasty is indeed extraordinary, a general who is always victorious and has the style of a general in the country!

Zhan Zhao raised an eyebrow at Bai Yutang—do you think he is a general, or is he slow and thick, so he is safe?

Bai Yutang also wanted to laugh a little - he was probably just sleepy, he probably didn't get enough sleep last night.

Time passed by a little bit, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the streets of Kaifeng Mansion were getting more and more lively.

Zhan Zhao waited on the rooftop to watch.

"It's almost time." Bai Yutang looked up at the top of his head, the stars were shining... the weather is very good tonight.

"Look over there!" Yin Hou suddenly pointed in the direction of Dongshan.

I saw that the peach blossom forest, which was originally bare, suddenly turned red.

Zhan Zhao climbed up to the highest eaves to look around, not to mention...thousands of trees and red flowers blooming are really pretty.

"Marshal." Bai Ying appeared on the wall, at this moment Zhao Pu woke up and was eating noodles.

"The red flowers are blooming."

Zhao Pu nodded, "Well, wait another half an hour."

Shirai Shadow didn't speak, and disappeared in a flash.

Gongsun asked, "Still waiting?"

Zhao Pu waved his hand, but the big fish didn't come out, so he continued to wait.

After waiting for a while, Hei Ying ran back, "The other party has finished pouring all the drinks, and now a group of women from Muzhao Country has appeared. There are quite a few of them, hundreds of them, and they are walking from all over to the peach blossom forest in a stupid way."

After hearing this, Zhao Pu nodded, "Wait a little longer."

Zhan Zhao simply took supper and waited on the roof with Bai Yutang for a drink. Gongsun asked Zhao Pu curiously, "What are you waiting for? Peach Blossom Empress?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "Don't worry, I can't run away from him."

After a while... the whole city of Kaifeng began to be filled with a faint fragrance.

"I can smell it all over here!" Gongsun touched his nose.

"We didn't get dizzy, which means your medicine is effective." Zhao Pu reached out and pressed Gongsun's head and rubbed it, "Able!"

Gongsun was inexplicably embarrassed, his face blushed.

The fourth son smiled and raised his face to look at Gongsun—Jiujiu praised Daddy!

Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others ran in and said to Gongsun, "Sir, the antidote you poured into the well doesn't seem to work. The pedestrians in Kaifeng Mansion outside are all motionless like wooden men."

"That's why it works." Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu, "According to what you said, it will take half an hour to see the effect."

The corner of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "Wonderful."

……

On the roof, Zhe Ying turned her head, "My lord, the barracks is on fire."

Zhao Pu sneered, "It's almost there."

"Send troops or burn the peach forest?" Ouyang asked.

"Wait a little longer."

"Still waiting?" Gongsun was anxious.

Zhao Pu was amused, and poked Gongsun's cheek with his hand, "Ha, you have such a quick temper, a scholar, you might as well be safe than me."

"Zhao Yuanzuo's troops have arrived near the imperial palace." Bai Yutang suddenly pointed to the distant imperial city.

Zhao Pu finally smiled, "Here we come." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to Ouyang, "Go and take those girls."

Ouyang ran out cheerfully, "This job is beautiful! There are so many beauties!"

……

Zhao Pu said to Zhe Ying, "Let Zou Liang prepare to do it."

Zhe Ying nodded and left.

Zhan Zhao squatted on the roof and asked Zhao Pu, "What should we do?"

"Do you want to watch the scene of grabbing the throne, or the scene of Ouyang catching beautiful women?" Zhao Pu asked.

Everyone didn't even think about it, "It's more interesting to grab the throne."

"Then let's go." Zhao Pu smiled, "Let's scare to death that Zhao Yuanzuo, the mantis, the cicada, and the oriole!"
