Song Emperor Jiangshan

Xiao Shan raised his head abruptly, and sure enough he saw a group of cavalry coming on snow, running so fast that they trampled the snow on the snow by the lake and flew around, and surrounded Han Shizhong and Xiao Shan in a moment.

Xiao Shan felt guilty: "Mr. Han has been implicated!"

Han Shizhong smiled indifferently and didn't answer. He just said loudly to the group of people who came: "Unexpectedly, after chasing a child, you have to work for the front of the palace. Brother Yang, since you are already here, why don't you come out and speak?"

Xiao Shan thought to himself: Isn't the chief of the palace the personal guard of Zhao Gou?How could Qin Hui be able to move?

He was wondering when he saw a middle-aged general in his 40s slowly walking out of a group of people. He was wearing iron armor and had a beard on his face. He was the first high-ranking official in the Southern Song Dynasty that Xiao Shan knew. Yang Yizhong of Yue Yun and Zhang Xian was later renamed by Zhao Gou as the commander of the front division of Yang Cunzhong.

Yang Cunzhong didn't get off the horse, but just clasped his fist at Han Shizhong on the horse, and said, "Han Xianggong, don't make things difficult for me, I'm just following orders, and I'll take this kid from Qin Shan back to ask a few words, and let him go after the questioning. "

Han Shizhong snorted, and looked at Yang Cunzhong coldly, Yang Cunzhong didn't dare to order his subordinates to do something like this, but said to Xiao Shan: "Qin Shidu, today's Pu'an County Prince's Mansion is getting married, you are not in the mansion, come here to play tricks, some Isn't it appropriate? Come quickly and return to the palace with me!"

Xiao Shan saw that the surroundings were completely surrounded, it was impossible to leave now, if he stood still, he would have to do something.If he really wanted to make a move, let alone being surrounded by hundreds of people, Han Shizhong would not be able to hold a sword or go into battle with only four remaining fingers, and it would hurt him instead.Thinking of this, Xiao Shan took a step forward, planning to go back with Yang Cunzhong.Unexpectedly, he had just taken a step when he was pulled back by Han Shizhong, who said in a low voice: "Stand here and don't move, don't listen to him lying to you!"

Xiao Shan was so embarrassed, Han Shizhong said: "Why didn't Brother Yang come to talk? You and I haven't seen each other for many days, so why not just catch up here?"

Yang Cunzhong had no choice but to get off his horse, walked a few steps forward, stopped five steps away from the two of them, and said, "Five Brother Han wants to reminisce about the past, there will be plenty of time in the future, but Brother Rong will send this little friend back to the palace first." .”

Han Shizhong laughed twice, and said loudly: "In that case, I have something to ask you. Who told you to come to us?"

Yang Cunzhong's face jumped and he was speechless.Han Shizhong said: "You are the guard in front of the official's palace, but you listen to other people's words. Are you afraid that the official will find out and blame you?"

Seeing the expression on Yang Cunzhong's face, Xiao Shan suddenly realized that it must be the person Qin Hui sent back to report the news. Qin Hui learned that Han Shizhong had intervened, and ordinary people couldn't figure it out, so he moved Yang Cunzhong out to arrest him.

Xiao Shan immediately bowed deeply to Yang Cunzhong, and said: "If there is an order from the Holy Spirit, I will not refuse. If other people want me to go back, I will not obey orders!"

Yang Cunzhong had no choice but to say: "It is the official who wants to ask about the situation of Pu'an County King tonight, so you are asked to go, stop talking, and come with me! If you delay for a while, it is a serious crime of resisting the order! I You can't be polite!" After saying this, he turned to Han Shizhong and said, "This is their family business, you and I are outsiders, why bother meddling?"

As Yang Cunzhong said, he waved his hand to Si Zhuwei in front of the palace behind him, and those people slowly opened their bows and pointed their arrows at Xiao Shan.

Yang Cunzhong said: "Mr. Han, please don't embarrass me. Please step aside. Otherwise, if you offend me today, you can only come to the door to ask for your crime."

Han Shizhong pulled Xiao Shan to his side, and said sternly, "Then come to my house tomorrow and apologize!" After saying that, he pulled Xiao Shan to go out, and he took a step when he heard arrows whizzing behind him. With a loud voice, those arrows did not dare to shoot at Han Shizhong, but they all shot in his path, and immediately filled the ground one meter away from the two of them with feather arrows.

Han Shizhong turned his head and glared at Yang Cunzhong, Yang Cunzhong said: "If Mr. Han is obsessed with his obsession, I will only offend you, little brother!"

Xiao Shan sighed in his heart, and said to Han Shizhong in a low voice: "Uncle Han, I know that you are doing it for my own good. But I have a leg injury, so even if I can leave here temporarily today, I can't run fast, and I will still be caught eventually. Yes. My parents have left, even if I go back with him now, it's nothing! You don't have to pay attention to me, I will be fine!"

Han Shizhong stomped his feet and said: "You are so confused, if you go with him, you will die! Do you think he will really send you to the Prince's Mansion of Pu'an County? You follow me closely, he dare not do anything to me of!"

Unexpectedly, before Han Shizhong finished speaking, he heard the sound of drawing a knife behind him. Yang Cunzhong pulled out the saber at his waist, came up to the two of them, and said to Han Shizhong: "Han Xianggong, our brothers have not made gestures for a long time. Now, since you are determined to disobey the holy order, I say you can only do it! Why don't you make a bet, if you can beat my little brother, this little friend will be taken away with you. If you can't, then he will come with me!"

Han Shizhong laughed a few times: "Very good!" After speaking, he called out to the guards beside him: "Mr. Han doesn't have a weapon on him, who can lend me a sword?"

A guard came out and handed the sword to Han Shizhong respectfully.Han Shizhong reached out to take it, but because he only had two fingers in one hand that could not be bent, he took it several times, but he couldn't even hold the sword hilt.

Yang Cunzhong smiled and said: "It's long since lost the courage of the past, Qin Shan, why don't you come with me?"

Xiao Shan saw today's matter, it would be more difficult to solve if it was delayed any longer, so he stopped talking to Han Shizhong, and took two steps forward by himself. Familiar voice: "Who wants to take my people away?"

Everyone looked at where the voice came from, but saw a tall and thin young man riding a horse, it was none other than Zhao Yuan who was getting married today and should be in the bridal chamber at this moment.

When Xiao Shan saw Zhao Yuan coming, he was surprised and delighted, and hurried forward, none of the guards dared to block Zhao Yuan's way, they just made way, Xiao Shan trotted all the way to the horse, Zhao Yuan jumped off the horse, He held Xiao Shan's hand tightly, and couldn't say a word for a while.

On Zhao Yuan's wedding night, he heard that Xiao Shan had disappeared, so he rushed to the room where Xiao Shan usually lived before he put on his shoes. He saw that the normally tidy room was now a little messy, and there was a bunch of bloody bandages stuffed indiscriminately. On the shelf, he was even more shocked, there were only five guards left in his house intact, even if he ordered these people to go to find someone, he himself rode straight to Xiao Shan's house.

When they arrived at Xiao Shan's house, the Qin family's oil shop was already in chaos, and there was the faint sound of soldiers and horses mobilizing in the city, Zhao Yuan followed, just in time for this scene.

Zhao Yuan was afraid that something bad happened to Xiao Shan along the way, now seeing that Xiao Shan is normal except for walking with a limp, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he came here not too late.

But the previous worries in his heart, coupled with the excitement of seeing Xiao Shan now, made him not know what to say.

Xiao Shan was very surprised, why did Zhao Yuan appear here, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why did His Highness come? Isn't it your wedding tonight?"

Zhao Yuan said: "I'm worried about you, if I can't see you, how can I be in the mood to get married?"

As soon as this sentence was said, Yang Cunzhong, who was following Xiao Shan, immediately knew that the friendship between these two people was extraordinary, and this matter became even more difficult!Then he took a step forward, bowed to Zhao Yuan and said: "Your Highness, I will ask this little friend something, take him for a while, and return it in a moment!"

Zhao Yuan held Xiao Shan's hand tightly, afraid that if he let go, the other party would disappear in front of his eyes.He looked Yang Cunzhong up and down and asked, "What is it?"

Yang Cunzhong could only say: "Your Highness, please take a step to speak!"

Zhao Yuan nodded, pulled Xiao Shan towards the center of the crowd, stood beside Han Shizhong, and said, "Here are all our own people, what does Commander Yang want to say?"

Yang Cunzhong was very embarrassed. Today he was begged by Qin Hui to come and arrest him. He Zeng Xiang would be in such trouble. When he was trying to figure out how to coax the Prince of Pu'an to release him, Han Shizhong was the first to speak: "He Did you come here to arrest people under the order of the government? It is clearly the intention of Qin Xianggong, right?"

Zhao Yuan pretended to be surprised, and asked: "Commander Yang, you are my father's commander in front of the palace, how can you obey other people's orders? Are you not afraid that the officials will blame you?"

Yang Cunzhong denied it, and Han Shizhong said: "Qin Shan, tell me, how did you offend Qin Hui and was chased by him overnight?"

Hearing that Han Shizhong wanted to say this, Xiao Shan knew that there must be a reason, so he told the story of being assassinated on the mountain, Qin Xi's silence, and his parents' escape.While talking, he looked at Yang Cunzhong's face, and when he saw his embarrassed and astonished expression, he was secretly surprised.

Before Yang Cunzhong could speak, Han Shizhong said again: "Brother Yang, do you still remember what happened back then? That day Yue Pengju went to live in seclusion on Lushan Mountain, and you were ordered by the Qin thief to go up the mountain to invite him back to Beijing. He was talking to you that day. Because of the love of sworn brothers, I didn’t want to embarrass you. I knew it was dangerous, but I went down the mountain with you, but I was wronged to death in Dali Temple. Don’t you feel any guilt in your heart? Do you want to do that kind of thing again now?”

When Yang Cunzhong heard Han Shizhong mention the past, he couldn't help but think of what happened to him back then, and felt guilty for Yue Fei, a sworn brother.

Xiao Shan didn't know until now that Yang Cunzhong, who had supervised and beheaded Yue Yun and Zhang Xian, turned out to be Yue Fei's sworn brother!

Yang Cunzhong looked ashamed, and said: "I didn't know that day, and it would end up like that. Later, the officials ordered me to supervise and kill, and the emperor's order was hard to do, so there was nothing I could do. Just like what happened today, little brother Qin Shan and I have no enmity in recent days. , I have no complaints in the past, but I am not following orders, what can I do? You are doing me a face, don't embarrass me!"

Zhao Yuan said: "Commander Yang, you don't have to make things difficult, when you go back, just say that he was kidnapped by me!"

Yang Cunzhong just said: "I want to take the person away. Your Highness wants to ask for mercy, so you can go to the official. Now that you catch him but let him go, I absolutely dare not!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shan suddenly took a step forward , Said: "Yang Xianggong, listen to the junior say a word, after saying this sentence, I will go with you!"

Seeing Xiao Shan cooperate with him, Yang Yizhong heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Say it!"

Xiao Shan said: "Probably Mr. Yang also knows that I am Qin Hui's righteous son, and I have always been obedient to him. If he has anything to do, he also asks me to do it. It's just that His Highness Jiuhuang Mountain was in danger that day, and I didn't follow his wishes. If it's done, he will arrest me and go back to question me. I'm sure I'm dead. Anyway, I'm a cheap man, and I've put life and death aside. But even so, I'm very regretful. I only regret that I didn't do it earlier. Plan, there is no way to deal with his move of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Now that I am going back with Yang Xianggong, I must ask Yang Xianggong to take me as a warning and make an early plan."

Yang Cunzhong has already heard the meaning of Xiao Shan's words, which means that Qin Hui must be unreliable, and he will not get any benefits from doing things for him, and he will bite back if he fails.

Yang Cunzhong already knew Qin Hui's attitude towards his allies in the past two years. He thought to himself: Qin Hui is being polite to me now and flattering me everywhere, all because I am the chief minister of His Majesty's palace, and he still needs it. Me, if one day I am in trouble, he will definitely ignore me. It is always good to leave more ways for yourself!

Thinking of this, he looked at Zhao Yuan again, only to see Zhao Yuan's concern for Xiao Shan was beyond words, he thought again: the future prince might be this Highness, if I offend him at this time, and treat me again What good do you do yourself?It's better to sell him a favor and let him go!It's just that they have to act like they are running away, and they can't offend Qin Hui who is in the limelight because of a small loss.

Yang Cunzhong made up his mind, and said: "Since that's the case, please poke a few holes in my body, Your Highness, I will let him go, so I can go back and say that I am incompetent and can't catch him!"

Seeing Yang Cunzhong being so difficult, Zhao Yuan felt angry, and just about to reprimand him, he heard Xiao Shan say: "Commander Yang, standing with the Qin thief, there is no good end! Why do you have to work so hard for him? The country of Song Dynasty , It belongs to today’s son, not Qin’s thief! The assassination of His Highness is still unknown. If Commander Yang is willing to take me into the palace to find out about this matter, the officials will definitely think that you are loyal and value you more. Wait until this matter is over. Now, I'll follow you to meet Thief Qin, so you don't have to worry about it, won't you kill two birds with one stone?"

Yang Cunzhong weighed it in his heart for a moment, hesitating quite a bit, it would be easy to let him go, but if he brought someone to see Zhao Gou, it would be very bad if Qin Hui found out about it!

But at this moment, Zhao Yuan bowed deeply to Yang Cunzhong, with a sincere expression: "Mr. Yang, if you can do me this great favor, I will never forget it in my life, and I will definitely repay you!"

Seeing Zhao Yuan's statement, Yang Cunzhong thought about it for a moment, and felt that the deal was done well, so he said: "Your Highness, you are too polite, but I dare not! Since there is such a way to achieve both ends, it is right for me to contribute a little bit! That's it, Just follow me!"

After he finished speaking, he ordered someone to take the rope and tie Xiao Shan up. Zhao Yuan saw Xiao Shan being tied up beside him, feeling extremely distressed but helpless.Only Han Shizhong whispered in Xiao Shan's ear: "Don't lose what I gave you! If I can come out tomorrow, I'll still wait for you here!"

Xiao Shan nodded, and followed Yang Cunzhong towards the city, Zhao Yuan refused to ride any more, just walked by Xiao Shan's side, seeing that it was not convenient for him to walk, so he stretched out his hand to support him, and whispered in his ear: "I will enter the palace with you, he will never dare to make troubles halfway! If the officials want to embarrass you, I...you will hold me hostage and run away!"

Xiao Shan turned his head, looked at Zhao Yuan, saw Zhao Yuan's eye circles were a little red, and asked, "Why are you here suddenly? There must be other things happening!"

Zhao Yuan pursed his lips and said after a while: "My father is gone!"

Xiao Shan was taken aback: "What! Then what are we going to do in the palace? Let's run now!"

Zhao Yuan hurriedly took Xiao Shan's hand: "It's because my biological father is gone, and I can't see you again. I was worried...I was worried that something would happen to you, so I came here to look for it. Actually, you don't have to enter the palace, just run like this Now, I can afford it too!"

Xiao Shan was moved when he heard what Zhao Yuan said, but if he really ran away like this, he would definitely bring endless troubles to Zhao Yuan and Han Shizhong, and besides, he might not be able to run if he had an injury on his leg!Is it easy to pass the card all the way?

The group of people walked for about half an hour, and they had already arrived at the gate of the palace. Yang Cunzhong first ordered someone to send Xiao Shan to the prison of the Dianqian Division. Zhao Yuan refused to leave Xiao Shan for a moment, and accompanied him in a dark and humid in the room.

Yang Cunzhong himself went to inquire about Zhao Gou's whereabouts first, and when he learned that Zhao Gou had not yet slept in the Chongzheng Hall, he returned and said to the two: "Your Highness, the official family has not rested yet, you change your clothes and come with me!"

Xiao Shan and Zhao Yuan replaced the ordinary guards given by Yang Cunzhong, and they were about to go out when Yang Cunzhong raised a knife and killed the guards guarding them.

Xiao Shan could still understand that Yang Cunzhong didn't want to leak the news, but Zhao Yuan complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He followed Yang Cunzhong and walked towards the Chongzheng Hall where Zhao Gou was.

After the peace talks, Zhao Gou rebuilt the palace. Now the palace is quite large, and it is no longer a narrow office like it was during the war.Yang Cunzhong entered the hall first, and after whispering a few words into Zhao Gou's ear, Zhao Gou ordered all the eunuchs and maids around to retreat and wait for the "important criminal" that Yang Cunzhong called.

Xiao Shan went into the hall first, saluted Zhao Gou, then knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty came here late at night, not for any other purpose, but because he learned of a big conspiracy and came to warn His Majesty! "

Zhao Gou didn't take it seriously, and asked lightly: "What big conspiracy? Why didn't your adoptive father come to tell me?"

Xiao Shan decided to bite Qin Hui first, and then said: "I will never recognize this thief as a foster father again! He is so whimsical and wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own. I refused to join him, so I was almost silenced by him! Thanks to..." When he said this, he saw Yang Cunzhong stood aside and said, "Thanks to Commander Yang's help, I was able to meet His Majesty and expose his conspiracy!"

When Zhao Gou heard Xiao Shan say this, he was startled, his hands shook, and the words he wrote were crooked.

Yang Cunzhong also didn't expect Xiao Shan to say such words at all, his heart was pounding, he thought: I was just selling favors, why was he dragged into trouble?

Xiao Shan said: "That day when King Pu'an was assassinated in Jiuhuang Mountain, the mastermind behind it was none other than Qin bandits! He said that His Majesty has no sons, so as long as the King of Pu'an is assassinated, His Majesty will be able to take the opportunity to rise to power! "

Hearing what Xiao Shan said at this moment, Zhao Gou calmed down in his heart, and said lightly: "Qin Xianggong is the commander of the country, and I will never allow anyone to slander him. Cun Zhong, escort him to Dali Temple, and let Qin Xianggong deal with it Bar!"

Before Zhao Gou finished speaking, Zhao Yuan, who had been waiting outside the hall, rushed over, with his hands outstretched, protecting Xiao Shan, and said: "You can't kill him!"
