General, this plot is wrong

Chu Heng changed horses several times along the way, and tried his best to drive towards Bieyun Villa at the fastest speed.

One day, there was a sudden heavy rain on the road, and even the posthouse where we stayed was almost flooded. Seeing the postmen constantly sweeping water out and strengthening the stables, Chu Heng became more and more worried about the situation of the villa.

The rain seemed to have no intention of stopping at all.It wasn't until Chu Heng finally arrived at Yuncheng that the rain lessened a little.

Even so, Chu Heng was also drowned by the unstoppable rain.

Before returning to Bieyun Mountain Villa, Chu Heng took the fifteen personal guards sent to him by King Qing to find a mansion for a temporary stay. They each changed into dry clothes and ate warm soup and rice before starting on the road again.

Just before going out, the rain suddenly intensified again.

The rain was so heavy that the rainwater under the eaves could be connected into a series, and the sky and the earth were all covered with a large expanse of whiteness, and no one could see who was far away.

Chu Heng wiped his face and plunged into the rain.

The heavy rain seemed to cover the whole world, and the sound of the rain was so loud that it blocked other sounds.The sound of the horseshoes of the guards behind him also seemed to be completely covered by the sound of the rain.

Chu Heng rode a horse, followed the street shops that he could barely see clearly, and found the way out of the city to the villa.

The raindrops were so big that they hit the body with a crackling sound.The personal guard behind him rode his horse to catch up: "Doctor Chu, it's raining too much, otherwise we should find a place first and wait for the rain to lighten before leaving."

Chu Heng raised his head and looked at the sky. In the gray sky, he couldn't even see where the clouds meet. "I'm afraid the rain won't stop in the near future. I'd better trouble you brothers and me to hurry on the road. When we arrive at the villa, Chu will treat you with good wine and good food."

They are all born in martial arts, and they have endured a lot of hardships in these years, and they have done a lot of practice in the heavy rain, so naturally they are not afraid of the heavy rain.It was not easy for the guards to communicate in the rain, so they expressed their willingness to follow along.

When we arrived at the villa, the rain had subsided a little. Old Chen Tou was leading Shao A Niu to check the canal. Two people, one tall and one short, were standing by the roadside wearing coir raincoats. At first glance, they looked a bit like scarecrows in the field.

"San Lang is back!"

It was not Lao Chentou and Shao Aniu who discovered Chu Heng first, but Wuwei who came out in the rain to give umbrellas to the two in coir raincoats.

But I haven't seen her for more than a year, and the five flavors, which are as big as small radish balls, have been raised a lot, the fleshy cheeks have become thinner, and the eyes are still as bright as ever.

Chu Heng wiped the rain off his face, nodded in response: "I'm back."

Saburo is back!

The news spread throughout the villa almost instantly.Even the heavy rain could not stop the tenants from entrusting Shao Aniu to deliver their own dry goods. Many children came to see Sanlang in the rain to see their newly practiced calligraphy.

Old Chen took the dry goods and put away the children's copybooks, then turned and went to the inner courtyard.

The personal guards of Prince Qing's Mansion were settled.Old Chen went to the main house, and heard the conversation between the three masters and servants in the house through the door.

"Sanlang has lost weight." This is Wuwei, with a hint of aggrieved tone in his tone.

"I'm not skinny, I've gained a lot of flesh, but I've become stronger."

"Sanlang is tanned." This is Baizhu, his voice has been hoarse for a while, and now it is much lower.

"The sunshine time at the border is long, so it is inevitable to get tanned. Men are so white and tender that they don't look good."

"But Yangzhou is still popular with Langjun Fu fans recently. It is said that he is a school of romance."

Hearing the words here, Old Chen gently knocked on the door, and only then opened the door to enter after getting the consent from the inside.

The furnishings in the house are still the same as before Chu Heng left.Every day, Atractylodes atractylodes personally cleans the corners and corners. Throughout the year, whenever the flowers bloom, the brothers will break off a few branches and place them in the house to add fragrance and color.

For more than a year, despite the constant letters and the caravans that came and went, they repeatedly assured that Sanlang did not suffer any hardships and that his life was not bad, but it is always inevitable to worry about it. It rained once in a while.

"The kitchen is rushing to serve the food. Is your lord going to eat outside or inside the house?" Old Chen looked at Chu Heng, who was shirtless and changing clothes. He was a little darker than when we met at Prince Qing's mansion. Also thinner.He thought about storing food and meat dishes, and planned to tell the kitchen to cook more meat dishes in the next few days, so as to replenish Chu Heng's meat.

"Let's stay inside." Chu Heng glanced at the heavy rain outside the corridor, half of the corridor was wet by the rain, and the air smelled heavier than ever before. "This rain...is there any disaster in the villa?"

"The drainage in the Zhuangzi is still sufficient at present, and all households have been told to be careful of the water situation on weekdays. However, if the rain does not stop, I am afraid that there will be problems."

Chu Heng put on his clothes and paused when he heard the sound: "What about the situation in Yangzhou? If possible, take someone to Yangzhou to avoid it first."

He came from Yuncheng, and he could see clearly that the situation in Yuncheng was not very good.I'm afraid that if there is a flood, most of Yuncheng will be submerged, but Yangzhou is different. Yangzhou has a superior terrain, and there are rivers and lakes beside it, which are enough to absorb the water. Yangzhou will definitely suffer the least disaster at that time.

Unexpectedly, Old Chen shook his head, even with Atractylodes macrocephala and five flavors all over his face, he couldn't express what he said.

Chu Heng was a little strange: "What's wrong? Did the Chu family come to make trouble again?"

"No, Saburo didn't know that the Yangzhou prefect died suddenly not long ago. The new prefect...was a bit arrogant. He tried several old cases in the past few days, tortured and recruited many people who are still in prison and are still investigating the truth."

As Wuwei talked, he took a look at Baishu and saw that his elder brother didn't show any objection, so he became more confident.

"When Chen Guanshi went to Sanlang, the eunuch fell in love with Sanlang's Yunshan soup and wanted to take the top of the mountain. Xue Changshi said that Sanlang had a very close relationship with Prince Qing's mansion, and the eunuch even spat in front of us. .”

Chu Heng was taken aback, and asked, "Then what's the surname of the new prefect?" He wanted to know more about this person's background, but obviously, Wu Wei and the others didn't know much about the faction of officials in the court.

Wuwei thought for a while and said, "My surname is Gui."

"Ah, my surname is Gui." The two brothers watched Chu Heng remain silent, Chu Heng nodded understandingly, and stopped asking any more questions.

The surname Gui is easy to guess.The Gui family relied on the Gui family to raise all boats, and now they are attached to the Qiu family. Presumably, they have deeper plans.Yangzhou is rich, and the taxes paid every year can feed an army.The Qiu family put their hands into the purse of the new emperor Zhao Zhen.

When Chu Heng returned to Bieyun Mountain Villa and finally got a sound sleep after the dust and dust, Zhao Duqing's personal guards were covered in wind and sand, and fell to their knees in front of King Qing.

"Shortly after leaving the customs, the prince entered Suoni City according to the prisoner's whereabouts. He encountered a sandstorm by accident, and then the people scattered. The prince and the others disappeared?"

The guard knelt on one knee, not daring to raise his head: "Yes...yes...brothers don't dare to waste time, already looking for traces of the prince outside the pass..."

King Qing silently looked at the guard in front of him, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

He remembered the faces of Zhao Duqing's personal guards.The person in front of him is indeed the royal guard, but...

"Cheng Tan," King Qing said suddenly, and the bodyguard who was kneeling on the ground couldn't help trembling, "This son betrays the master, he should be punished."

Almost at the moment the words fell, the Longquan sword came out, and the guard didn't even have time to complain, a chill rose up behind his back, and suddenly there were only those cold and sharp eyes left in the world.

Then, the corpse whose throat was cut with a sword fell to the ground.

"He is the scout of the son's personal guard, and the scout's duty is to investigate. There are plenty of water and grass outside the pass, unless you go west."

In the frontier generation of Dayan, half of the walls are grasslands, the population is sparse, and nomads and tribes occasionally stay.To the west, there are deserts with few people. There are a few empty cities, most of which are ghost cities left after being slaughtered by the Dayue clan.

The Soni City that Zhao Duqing entered is one of the ghost towns.At that time, it was a small border town of Tuzhi country, and it was also a small town where caravans from various countries traveled frequently.

But this place has been deserted since the massacre of the Dayue clan, and sandstorms occurred frequently, so that after the massacre of the Dayue clan, they did not occupy this place.Even nomadic tribes would never enter the city unless necessary.

As a scout, and having stayed in the borderlands for so many years, he should know the folk sayings that are not part of Soni.

Zhao Duqing led his own soldiers to pursue Jiangtuo and the prison robbers all the way out of the customs, and sent scouts to explore the way first, but was led by the scouts to Suoni. If it was not the same way as the prison robbers in Jiangtuo, King Qing would not believe it anyway.

Although King Qing's face was calm, his fists were already tightly clenched.The blue tendons on the back of the hand arched high.

"Wen Sheng is a stubborn child."

Lu Ting finished wiping the Longquan sword in his hand indifferently, and looked up when he heard King Qing's voice.

"The Dayue clan dares to threaten the Xishan Camp with my son's safety, and the Japanese king will go straight to Huanglong and kill him without leaving the Helian clan!"

The clenched fist hit the table, and with a "boom", it shattered the teacup in hand.

"Father, I'll take someone to find Wen Sheng."

"Cheng Tan..."

"Now the situation is urgent. King Yuan is trying to win over the ministers of the court. He may attack the Qiu family at any time, and the Dayue family is also watching. Go find Wen Sheng."

He was born in Yandu, but because he had a Husheng mother, he was barely proficient in Chinese and Hu language. At this time, he disguised himself and rode lightly, which was not only convenient for communication and search, but also deceptive.

"How many people are you bringing?"

"Five hundred is enough. If you encounter the Iron Cavalry of the Dayue clan, just take a detour."

"That's fine."

King Qing nodded.

Five hundred Qingqi were quickly selected from the Xishan camp.Lu Ting led his people out of the customs immediately, and before leaving, he got on his horse and bid farewell to King Qing.

"God bless my son." He looked at Lu Ting and said in a low voice, "No matter what the situation is, remember to return as soon as possible."

"boom".

The teacup containing last year's tribute tea suddenly fell to the ground.

All eyes in the hall were focused on the queen and Gao.All the slightly abrupt silence, after seeing the blood flowing from between the fingers of the two covering their mouths, was suddenly broken by the mournful screams of the palace servants.

The blood was thick black with a little bit of red, flowing out continuously along the fingers.The palace people rushed forward to support the two of them, but accidentally bumped Gao's arm.

With a sound of "poof", a mouthful of black blood spurted out, spraying blood on half of the palace man in front of him.

"Quickly pass on Fengyu! Pass on Fengyu to enter the palace!"

The queen mother has already realized that although the blood did not splash on her body, even if she just looked at it like this, she still felt the smell of blood on the tip of her nose.

The Empress Dowager was also obviously stunned by the scene in front of her.

Gao Shi entered the palace today and specially brought some snacks for Zhao Zhen.Afterwards, together with the Empress Dowager and the Empress, the grandparents and grandchildren went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

The fragrant tea that was presented as a tribute last year tastes sweet and is most suitable for women.The Empress Dowager simply asked people to eat refreshments and taste the tea together.On the way, the new emperor and the regent's uncle and nephew came to visit suddenly, and the sitting has continued until now.

Originally eating snacks and drinking tea, why suddenly...

The Empress Dowager subconsciously looked at Zhao Yin.

The uncle and nephew seemed very surprised by this sudden situation.

Zhao Yin hurriedly directed the palace people to invite Feng Yu, turned around and almost bumped into Zhao Zhen who was obviously terrified.

"Your majesty!" The palace servant supporting the queen's face was pale, and his hands were covered with blood, "The empress is about to die..."

Zhao Zhen was so frightened that he dared not go forward. Even though the bleeding queen had a face that once attracted him, it was now pale and lifeless.

Zhao Yin stepped forward and pushed the man: "Your Majesty, quickly..."

Zhao Zhen finally walked over quickly, stretched out her hand to embrace the Queen in her arms, her arms trembling slightly: "Queen..."

The queen tightly grasped his skirt, opened her mouth wide, blood flowed sideways, and blood gushed out of her mouth continuously: "I'm not reconciled...I'm not reconciled..."

What are you not happy about?

In a position where no one could see, Zhao Yin suppressed the smile on his lips.

It's just a matter of borrowing strength, but if this poison is really to be investigated, it is the work of the Qiu family.

He looked at the terrified empress dowager with regrets in his heart.

Why didn't the old woman be poisoned to death?

The author has something to say:

The duty of the scouts is to scout the road ahead and report back on the road conditions and the situation ahead.As long as they are fully trusted, the things a scout can do will not be small.Only Zhao Shizi is pitiful.

Lu Ting: Poor thing, I'll ask my wife to give you a few needles when I get back. You should be smarter.

Zhao Shizi: ...
