Muzi knew that the matter was urgent, but within three days, he had brought a reply letter from outside the Great Wall.

Pei Jiqing rushed to the study with the envelope in his arms, lit a candle and opened the wax seal on the letter by himself. His eyes fixed on the letter for a long time, and finally put the letter down with a smile.

Although Fu Congjin was intentionally unclear, things still went as he expected.

Pei Jiqing's letter was asking Xia Chengxi about Zhao Deqin's background in the army.

When Xiao Wansheng came to Northern Xinjiang, it was precisely because Fu Congjin knew that he was with Xia Chengxi and was suspicious, so he transferred Zhao Deqin, who was familiar with Xia Chengxi, away. But Fu Congjin said that he intended to let him go, so why would he send someone to keep an eye on him? It is very likely that someone sent a message on purpose.

Zhao Deqin went to southern Xinjiang to lead the army, and the place where the army was stationed happened to be connected to Lingnan where King Huai's vassal soldiers were located.

And when he was in Yaoyue Tower that day, it was also a "general" who kept saying that he had found the little prince and the Tianzi sword, so King Huai dared to make up his mind to rebel.

That day Huai Wang suddenly asked him to get the Son of Heaven Sword, and was inexplicably killed before telling the truth. It must have broken Zhao Deqin's conversation with the people behind the scenes.

Fu Congsi took the initiative to ask him to go to the Liao Kingdom for help, and Lin He received a secret letter shortly after he fell asleep. A very cautious masked man made a deal with him at the post station, exchanging two strategic fortresses with him, asking him to lead Jue Yun out the capital.

These things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but looking through Zhao Deqin's resume, these messy things can be sorted out, and then neatly emerge in front of him.

Zhao Deqin joined the army. He is 48 years old this year. In the first five years of his 30-year military career, he has been in the "Flying Swallow Army" of Shouwang. , He didn't become Xia Chengxi's deputy until King Shou was old and sick.

Now, everything is self-evident. Although Zhao Deqin has been silent all the time, he is really a dark thread connecting these beads, and the person who leads the thread through the needle behind him should also be the King of Shou who always pretends to be stupid. I, and that Fu Congsi who has always been upright and determined to avenge the Supreme Emperor.

Pei Jiqing got up suddenly, opened the drawer and took out a jade pendant and put it in the palm of her hand. Those exercises were still lying in it. Pei Jiqing suddenly felt a little lucky. If Fu Congjin hadn't discovered his secret, she wouldn't have given him that in a hurry. Many hints let him discover these before Fu Congsi's imminent attack.

In Prince Huai's residence, although Fu Congsi scolded him severely, he reluctantly stood up for him.

At that time, although Pei Jiqing thought it was funny, she regarded Fu Congsi as a good friend in her heart, and thought this bookworm was very interesting.

His movements stagnated, and a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face. He was indeed blinded by hatred before, but now he fully understands that since he opened his eyes, this world is just drinking blood, murdering, and setting fire. Except for himself, no one cares about the fallen Supreme Emperor.

Pei Jiqing quickly locked the drawer, picked up the jade pendant and rushed out of the mansion door. Although the capital was no longer under martial law, there were still black-armored warriors patrolling back and forth. He hurried into the alleyway of Yishanfang, and jumped directly from the low wall into Pingnanhou The back door of the mansion.

The atmosphere in Xiao Wansheng's mansion is very unique, people in the capital are panic everywhere, but Xiao Wansheng specially set up a stage to ask the troupe to sing, surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan, Pei Jiqing thinks that he doesn't need to climb over the wall, even if he walks through the main entrance, there will be no one care.

"Lord Hou." Pei Jiqing took the tea from the maid, rolled his eyes and sat beside the half-asleep Xiao Wansheng. Xiao Wansheng took the tea and said angrily, "This water is so hot that it's going to die, how did you do it?"

"It's cold, so naturally we have to drink hot water to warm our stomach." Pei Jiqing stood up angrily, and Xiao Wansheng came back to his senses, "Why are you here?"

"Master Hou, can you send them back?" Pei Jiqing looked up at the actor, "I have something important to say."

"Okay." Xiao Wansheng waved silently, "You guys go down first."

The courtyard was finally quiet and peaceful, and Pei Jiqing quickly said: "The little prince wants to be the emperor. He did many things before. It's too late to explain now. How many soldiers and horses can you have?"

Xiao Wansheng opened his mouth wide, and clapped his hands after a while, the actors just now rushed into the room suddenly, Pei Jiqing froze for a moment, until those actors took off their complicated heads, revealing their colorful iron-gray armor.

Pei Jiqing walked towards the courtyard dumbfounded, opened the boxes with heads in the corner, and saw countless bright weapons.

"That's the only ones." Xiao Wansheng crossed his legs helplessly, "What do you mean, aren't all my subordinates versatile?"

"Yes." Pei Jiqing twitched the corner of her mouth, and slapped a jade pendant on the table, "This is the fan pendant that Fu Congjin gave me before. He said that everyone in the Prince Regent's Palace knew it. Take it and mobilize the Imperial Army in Fu Congjin's name." .”

"The Forbidden Army is controlled by that bastard Li." Xiao Wansheng stroked his hair, "I can't adjust it."

Pei Jiqing immediately said: "Fu Congjin's ability to run out of the mansion means that there are still people in the imperial army who are against him. General Li is just a commander. There must be a deputy general promoted by Fu Congjin. You have always been Fu Congjin's man on the surface. Fu Congjin They are not dead now, they can only trust you."

"What about you?" Xiao Wansheng immediately grabbed his arm, "Stay in the Hou Mansion, I'm safe here anyway."

"I'm going out of the city to find Jue Yun." Pei Jiqing said in a deep voice, "Although Jue Yun managed to get out of the capital according to a plan, at least Lin He didn't rebel. Now that the emperor is alive and the Emperor Sword is not in his hands, naturally he won't attack immediately , I am afraid that in a few days, the little prince will reveal his true colors, and none of us will be able to leave the city!"

"Although there is no news about Jue Yun, he will never sit still. Maybe he has already seen that Fu Congsi has a problem." Xiao Wansheng did not stop him for the first time, but instead grinned, "After you leave the city, I will find a way to delay it." Stay with him and Zhao Deqin, if the situation is not good, don't come back, even if you let him proclaim the emperor, if you keep green firewood, you won't be afraid that there will be no mountains to burn!"

Pei Jiqing was stunned, her eyes misted in panic, and then she smiled along with him, "Master, I will bring soldiers back soon, who am I, there is nothing in the world that can defeat me !"

"Old general, take care of it!" Xiao Wansheng swaggered and sang Peking opera and turned around, "Take it as a joke!"

After singing, he raised his hand and summoned three dead men, "Send the young master out of the city!"

A few people rushed to the outer suburbs of the capital, and the setting sun had already set in a trance, and the afterglow of the setting sun was as grand and magnificent as sprinkling gold.

A group of people and horses stopped far away on a small hill, and the leader was dressed in white clothes, slowly tightening the reins.

Pei Jiqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart sank suddenly, he forced himself to wave his hand calmly, and the two dead soldiers stopped after reining in their horses, their right hands were already touching the soft sword around their waists.

"Don't move." Pei Jiqing whispered, "Two heroes, will you pretend to be dead?"

"Where is Mr. Pei going?" Fu Congsi's voice came from far to near, and the sound of horseshoes approached a little bit. He slowly got off the white horse and stopped in front of Pei Jiqing. Why are you in such a hurry to leave the city? This road is heading to the northwest, could it be that the virtuous king saw that the emperor was seriously ill and wanted to seize the throne with the king of the Liao Kingdom?"

"Although your majesty is seriously ill, I have to do business. I just go to Saibei to buy goods." Pei Jiqing smiled and jumped off the bay red horse, "The little prince has been with us for a long time, so he should know what a virtuous king is." He has the emperor's sword in his hand, and the world belongs to him."

"Since you are not Rongluan, you should know that the Emperor's Sword was given by the emperor in a hurry, but he just didn't want Fu Congjin to get it." Fu Congsi still had a serious face, and his demeanor was dignified, as if he really ruled the world. I was born to a concubine of a foreign race, and the emperor killed his father to ascend to the throne. I have been in power for a hundred years, and I cannot fall into the hands of these people."

"Then who do you think should fall into the hands of a century-old country?" Pei Jiqing smiled and became more flirtatious, "Is it His Royal Highness Shou Wang who has made great military achievements? Or do you treat me like an official prostitute and wish I could be with Rong Ting?" The little prince who is going to die?"

"In the past in Lingnan, when I gave you the wound medicine, I didn't treat you as an official prostitute." Fu Congsi lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Even if Yeluhelin has a good relationship with the virtuous king, let him use the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom to ascend the throne." Assuming the throne, it is impossible for the world to surrender. As long as there is a little movement in the Liao Kingdom, you and the virtuous king are sinners who betrayed the country and seek glory. Do you think he will abdicate? All he can do is sacrifice you. The world is a courtier."

Pei Jiqing instantly understood what Fu Congsi wanted Lin He to do: when Lin He and Jue Yun fought, Fu Congsi would trust him sincerely, and at the same time come up with his third step plan - asking Lin Hexiang to help Jue Yun After Yun ascended the throne, he turned against him at the right time, and fought against King Shou's soldiers to defeat Yun.At that time, Jue Yun will be a traitorous alien who seeks glory and will never die, but the emperor is sick and incompetent, so he can take the throne swaggeringly.

Two dogs fight, play off.

Pei Jiqing continued to show a flirtatious smile, he took half a step back, and glanced at the dead man beside him from the corner of his eye, "The little prince's words, are you trying to persuade me to 'be good'?"

Fu Congsi lowered his eyes slightly, "I said before, you have to earn face by yourself."

"Since you have heard what Fu Congjin and I have said, you will not believe me when I pretend to make peace." Pei Jiqing took half a step back, as if he had nothing to say to him, "In the past in Lingnan, the little prince Teach me to understand what 'propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame' is, but you are now usurping the throne, so today, what is the difference between yourself and the rebel Fu Congjin?"

"I am the son of King Shou. King Shou has made countless achievements in his life, and everyone in Dazhou knows it." Fu Congsi lowered his head, his cold face finally covered with a layer of inexplicable anger, "I am not wrong, there should not be aliens in Dazhou. Concubine, the emperor should not have a foreign blood, it is really unwise for the emperor to hand over the Tianzi sword to the virtuous king."

"I'm not wrong." Fu Congsi repeated coldly, "It's because they are not worthy of the throne."

Fu Congsi hadn't finished speaking when the dead soldier pulled out the soft sword from his waist. The light of the sword flashed and left a wound on Fu Congsi's shoulder. Behind him, he has already started to retreat step by step.

A strong crossbow was erected on the hill, Fu Congsi raised his hand from a distance, the arrows rained down like a rain, and shot the body of the dead man into a sieve in a blink of an eye, Pei Jiqing was also covered in blood, Fu Congsi waved again, the rain of arrows stopped, and the two died The soldier fell to the ground instantly.

The surrounding sergeants immediately surrounded him, fastened heavy iron chains on Pei Jiqing's hands and feet, and then raised his hands to remove his cloak. Some soldiers had squatted down to remove his shoes and socks.

At this time, someone from the city rushed to report and whispered a few words beside Fu Congsi.

"That's not necessary, he doesn't know martial arts." Fu Congsi waved his hands after listening, "Send him to the palace."

Pei Jiqing was silent, he lowered his head, and the blood-stained soldier rolled his eyelids.

Thousands of miles away, the cold moon filled the sky in northern Saibei, and Hu Jia's voice was long and miserable, and seemed to have infinite emotions.

Jue Yun sat under the lamp and read the letter. This letter was delivered just today, and it was still printed with rigorous typesetting. This time, the content was actually to ask Lin He to pretend to make peace, and then transferred Jue Yun back to the capital.

Jue Yun turned on the candlelight, and vaguely understood what this person meant. Pretending to attack the city and fight with him was just a condition used by this person to test Lin He. What he wanted was not Lin He's control beyond the Great Wall. The real trap should be left behind. In the capital city.

"Go back to your lord." The lieutenant next to Jue Yun is still Wang Yue, "The cavalrymen who were secretly investigated before have left, shouldn't it be time for the soldiers we pretended to be dead to come back?"

"Come back, but carry them all back to me, or people will think you have a dead body." Jue Yun waved his hand, and two people covered in blood quietly entered the camp. Dead body?"

"This is not our person." Wang Yue pulled out his sword suddenly, "Who are you?!"

The two looked at each other, then they both knelt down abruptly, and put the blood-stained Pingnan Houfu waist plate on the jueyun case.
