Chapter 457 Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger
When Wu Jue, who had just returned to the Zhongwei Tea Shop, left with Jiao Jingyan, Ye Qing kept repeating a sentence in his mind because of Jiao Jingyan's surname: "Nei surname? Jiao...Nei surname? Jiao."
Even though Wu Jue and Jiao Jingyan had already left far away surrounded by Xia Guo soldiers, they stood at the door and looked at Ye Qing in the cold street, and the questions and answers were still lingering in their minds, which seemed extremely vulgar words.
Wu Yong, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, called out several times, and Ye Qing, who was standing on the cold street, slowly came to his senses: "Tell Old Liu and Xu Qing to start."
"Yes, Shaoqing." The shopkeeper of the tea shop looked serious and said to Ye Qing who had come to his senses.
"Even if we can't promote our great Song Dynasty in Xixia, we still have to spread the reputation of the Imperial City Department. At least we have to take one of them. We can't continue to wear the hat of the weak Song Dynasty and make people bully you, right?" Ye Qing, who was talking to himself, sat down on the threshold of the tea shop door with a teacup in his hand.
The shopkeeper greeted the shopkeeper and rushed into the night of Xingqing City. Then he imitated Ye Qing and sat down on the other side of the threshold. So the two of them blocked the door of the tea shop tightly.
"After the incident, should this shop be paid for it?" Wu Yong, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, also looked at the cold street and asked.
"Not necessarily, but... for safety reasons, it's better to exchange it out, but this line cannot be broken. Jiao Jingyan is the queen's person, so she will help the prince and the prince's concubine. Next, you have to figure out whether the King of Yue and King Shu of Xia are really as Jiao Jingyan said, intending to compete for the position of the prince. If it's true, as Jiao Jingyan said, you can use this to do something else in Xixia in the future. "Ye Qing leaned against the door frame and sighed and continued: "In short, if we can survive the tension in these few days, then everything will be easy, but we must also prevent Jiao Jingyan from unloading the grinding and killing the donkey."
"The struggle between the Xia people does not seem to be much simpler than our Song court. The prince group, the emperor group, the Ren Dejing group, and the royal family members have their own relationships. In this way, the rights of the entire empire are basically in the hands of them." Wu Yong, the shopkeeper of the tea shop, said with some self-deprecating self-deprecating: "It is probably difficult for other upstarts to hold the real power, unless they are to pull one off and then replace them by themselves."
"Not only Xia, but also all countries, so are the Jin people, so are our Song Dynasty, and even the Liao people. But they are not as good as the Xia people now, because of the Ren Dejing incident, so that people can see through it at a glance." Ye Qing said leaning against the door frame.
Han Daochong wanted to send the Censor General to Xingqing Prefecture through the channels of merchants, but his so-called business road was Jiao Jingyan, deputy envoy of the Privy Council of Xia State. It seemed that the two of them were officials in the same dynasty, but because they were their own masters, in the end, they had to help them build a bridge through an outsider like him.
Ye Qing also began to understand why, today, Prince Li Chunyou, in Ren Dejing's mansion, would watch Han Daochong and others watch him indifferent when he was in trouble.
Obviously, in his opinion, although these people were loyal ministers and pillars of Xia State, they were not from his prince's mansion, nor from his prince's group, so he could watch coldly and indifferently, and watch Han Daochong and others being forced by Ren Dejing.
Moreover, Li Chunyou is already in his forties, but he is still just a prince. There are other brothers next to him who are eyeing him and coveting his position as prince. So I guess the prince doesn't have much favorable feelings for his father, the old but not weak father, right?
After all, if it were anyone, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to. He was still a prince at the age of forty and could not become the emperor of the empire.
More importantly, because of Li Renxiao's health, it may take more than ten years to wait for Li Chunyou to inherit the throne as a prince. This is obviously a rather embarrassing situation for a "old prince". It is even very likely that he will gain nothing in the end and can only be a prince.
Therefore, Ye Qing has always believed that whether it is the people or the powerful, some people will naturally do everything they can to achieve their goals through various means to hope to achieve the goals they want.
Li Chunyou and Ye Qing obviously did not expect that the prince, who seemed extremely bold on the surface but was indecisive on the inside, would have the intention of fighting for power and profit, and would have been to betray the interests of his country in order to become emperor.
Old Liu, who had been mysterious for a long time, had no idea where he got a piece of Xia people's armor and put it on his body. Even the dozen people behind him were also wearing Xia people's armor and patrolling outside the mansion of King Cha Ge of Jin on war horses.
In a corner of Chengtian Temple not far from the Jin Palace, there were more than a dozen real Xia soldiers. The armor and weapons on their bodies were stripped off, tied up like rice dumplings, and they were stuffed in the corner and unable to move.
And just a dozen steps away from these dozen people, there was a corpse lying on his neck that was cut off by a sharp blade, but it was not completely separated, and it was tilted and hung on his shoulders.
More than a dozen Xia soldiers tied up and tightly stuffed together twisted their bodies back and forth, trying to break free from the rope that had been tightened in their flesh, or whimpering at the corpse not far away, a monk walked slowly over with five monks behind him.
Gessushuobu glanced at the tragic situation of the corpse, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Then he shook his head slightly, sighed and said in a low voice: "Save all donors."
As Gessuebu's words fell, the five monks behind him slowly pulled out their short swords from their sleeves and walked towards the dozen Xia people who were tied together.
Gexi Suobu turned around, looked at the corpse whose head was hanging on his shoulders after his neck was cut, and sighed again, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, I want to go into the palace to report to the King of Jin."
The smell of blood seemed to remain on the tip of Gexi Suobu's nose. Even after boarding the carriage, he still couldn't figure out who was looking for to kill the housekeeper of King Jin.
Although he knew very well that the reason why Han Daochong left the dozen soldiers behind him was that he did not want to stand by and watched, he wanted to tie himself up with them to fight against Ren Dejing, but... who was the one who killed the housekeeper of King Jin and helped all the dozen soldiers together?
Did the Song people help them, or did the Liao people help them? And doing so can really shock King Cha of Jin and keep him away from Ren Dejing?
Gexi Suobu was unsure, but according to Han Daochong's intention when he came to Chengtian Temple last time, he asked himself to tell the King of Jin that his housekeeper and more than a dozen guards were killed in Chengtian Temple.
When Gexi Suobu came outside the palace that was more vigilant than Xingqing Mansion, it was when King Cha Ge of Jin hunched over and boarded the carriage. Ren Dejing, on the other side, accompanied Wanyan Jing, preparing to board another carriage.
After Gexi Suobu informed King Chengtian Temple of Jin, for the first time he felt that the thin body could actually contain the anger and murderous aura that made him, who had been practicing for many years, feel a little scared!
Ren Dejing looked at Wanyan Jing as he had just gotten into the carriage. When he turned around, he saw that King Cha Ge of Jin rushed out of the palace under the escort of nearly a hundred people.
Gexi Suobu looked at King Jin's carriage leaving, turned around and looked at Ren Dejing with a smile, nodded, and turned around and walked onto his carriage.
Ren Dejing, who was not sure what happened, was about to board the carriage, and his subordinates next to him ran over in panic. Without waiting for Ren Dejing to ask questions, he hurriedly said: "The prince...Ren Prefectural Governor, he...he..."
"But it's okay!" Ren Dejing looked at the carriage curtain lifting, revealing Wanyan Jing's face, and asked in a deep voice without shyness.
"After the curfew in Xingqing City, Ren Fu Yin accidentally fell off the city wall while patrolling, and drowned in the moat."
"Impossible!" Ren Dejing's face turned cold, and he had no time to care about Wanyan Jing on the carriage. He slapped the servant in the face and said in a deep voice: "Who has the news!"
"My husband... the young master has already rushed over. It was the young master who asked the young master to come and report to the prince. He also asked the prince to move to the west gate." The servant covered his hot cheeks and lowered his head and said nervously.
"Isn't it clear that the King of Chu went over and saw it?" Wanyan Jing said with a calm expression on his cheeks, sitting in the carriage.
Ren Dejing glanced at Wanyan Jing, then looked at the servant next to him and the guard behind him, and snorted angrily leading the way, then rushed to the gate of the west city with Wanyan Jing.
Xingqing City is a slightly rectangular city that is right south and north. What is even more surprising is that its city gates are very few, and there is only one gate for entry and exit between east and west, and there are only two gates for entry and exit between north and south.
So when the Xia soldiers screamed at the west city gate of the palace to cry out for help from the prefectural governor, and then hurriedly opened the city gate, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council seemed to have fallen from the sky, and immediately rushed out with his people as soon as the city gate was opened.
The defenders of the West City Gate, which was in chaos, obviously did not realize why the dignified deputy envoy of the Privy Council suddenly appeared here? As the city gate opened, everyone listened to the orders of the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, splashed in waves and then jumped into the moat. More than a dozen soldiers wearing Xia people's armor quickly rushed to the west under the cover of Jiao Jingyan, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the neat cavalry behind him.
Xu Qing on the city tower listened to the sound of falling into the water to save people from the water, but he was praying nervously, hoping that Zhao Qier, who had entered the moat earlier, would find Ren Degong who was pushed into the moat as soon as possible, and then quickly finish the work and run away.
Just like when they were in Taizhou, they accidentally knocked a man named Fan Niande into the river from the boat, they finished their work without knowing it, and then went ashore and left.
