Huang Gu looked at the girl on the whale in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "Master, this, this is not..."
Zhao Tong nodded, looked at the girl on the whale and shouted loudly: "Hui Niang, you have come here thousands of miles to repay the king's five thousand taels of silver? It's dark and the water is cold. Come ashore quickly and explain in detail."
The girl looked at him from the whale, standing up slenderly, her clothes fluttering, and then the sound of the cave flute sounded, and the guns and halberds in the water gradually became quiet, and even the originally rocking ship became stable again.
The killer whale slowly approached the shore. The girl stopped playing the flute and stood motionless on the killer whale, just looking at Zhao Tao.
The girl was none other than Liu Huiniang who had left without saying goodbye in Tokyo. After the incident at Gui Fanlou, Liu Huiniang didn't even attend the banquet at the palace, let alone Zhao Tong, and simply disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Tong said: "Hui Niang, why don't you go ashore?"
The girl looked at Zhao Tong in a daze for a while, then bowed slightly: "I didn't expect to meet the prince here. Hui Niang acted recklessly. Hui Niang will take the whales away without delaying the prince's discussion of important matters."
Zhao Tong glanced at Huang Jue beside him: "Does this king have anything important to discuss?"
Huang Jue was stunned, and hurriedly said with a serious face: "No, the prince has nothing important to do. He is just traveling around and enjoying the sea view."
After saying that, he glared at everyone around him: "What are you all doing here to join in the fun? There's nothing serious to discuss. Let's all go back to the boat!"
The people on the island dispersed with a "whoop", and they all ran to the shore and got into the cabin of the ship. Zhao Tong looked at Huang Jue beside him: "Huang Fufu, do you have something important to discuss with me?"
Huang Jue smiled and turned around to leave.
The girl stood on the whale with bright eyes and said, "It was Hui Niang who delayed the prince's affairs."
Zhao Tong shook his head: "Don't pay attention to them. I am bored, so I came down to talk."
The girl jumped off the whale, stepped on the rocks above the water, and came to the shore in a moment.
Zhao Tong said: "Why did Hui Niang come to the sea? I remember that you said your home was in Yizhou last time?"
Liu Huiniang said: "Your Majesty, Huiniang's master is on an island far away. Yicheng went home to visit his parents last year and will return to the master after the new year."
Zhao Tong nodded: "I see, then these orcas..."
Liu Huiniang said: "These orcas have been in the waters of Shimen for a long time. They have been familiar with them since childhood. They were originally going out to sea to find something. Unexpectedly, one of them was lost, so we tracked them here."
Zhao Tong looked at her with a smile and said, "When will you return to Yizhou?"
Liu Huiniang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you still want to come to ask for money? My father, Yizhou Defense Commander Liu Guang, I'll just go and ask for it."
Zhao Tong laughed loudly: "But she is the daughter of an official family. She has always kept it a secret before, but she treats me as an outsider."
Liu Huiniang's eyes were as soft as water, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she suddenly said: "Shall I play a song for the prince?"
Zhao Tong nodded and saw the girl holding the flute in her hand, playing a long song, and a group of whales danced in the sea, and the water splashed for a long time.
When the song ended, the girl smiled brightly, flew onto the whale, and flew across the sea...
Early the next morning, two sea ships departed from the island and headed straight for Laizhou, Dading Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Tong and Yelu Dashi were scheduled to meet on the sea in Laizhou. This plan was made very early. From the beginning, he just wanted to contact Yelu Dashi to confuse the Song, Liao, and Jin Dynasties. In the end, he decided to assassinate Wanyan Aguda, completely destroying Beizhou. The ground was in a mess, and Zhao Tong thought about it for ten years.
Generally speaking, it is impossible to assassinate the emperor, because since the Han Dynasty, outsiders have not been able to approach the emperor at all. Even if the assassination is carried out, it must be done by someone close to him or someone from the court, and it is not necessary to say whether to kill or not. Difficult to escape.
The emperor basically never left the palace. Even if he went to visit incognito, the assassin would not be able to recognize him. Originally, such a thing would be impossible to accomplish.
However, this is only for unified dynasties, or dynasties in the Central Plains. There is no such shackles for those countries outside the grassland wall.
The emperor of this kind of country likes hunting, galloping horses, and the royal village is often moved. Even though the Khitan has been established for so many years, Emperor Tianzuo is mediocre and incompetent, but he often goes out and rides on the grassland.
In fact, even a hundred years after the founding of the Khitan, it was the era of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. The carriages and horses used by the Liao Emperor were still crude, and the habit of eating under the tent of the carriage had not yet changed.
And how is the Kingdom of Jin doing now? When the Jin Kingdom was founded, Wanyan Aguda followed the nomadic style and set up a large tent in Huining to handle government affairs.
And where do those so-called great dynasty ministers live? Zhaizi, yes, it is Zhaizi!
Wherever there are any cities or mansions, they are all stockades!
As for Huining, the so-called capital of the Jin Kingdom, when Aguda announced the founding of the country, it could not be called a city at all, it was just a slightly larger stockade.
It has been more than two years since the founding of the Jurchen Kingdom. Whether it is the information obtained from Yelu Dashi or Zhao Tong's own analysis, Huining is still a village, but because Wanyan Agu lived here, it was renamed the Emperor's Village!
Even after the Jingkang Incident, the Jin people escorted the emperor and his family to the north. At this time, the important figures of the Jin Kingdom still lived in the village.
It was not until Wanyan Aguda felt physically exhausted in his later years that he began to build a capital and palace in Huining, imitating the Liao and Song dynasties.
It took several decades and three emperors of the Jin Dynasty for Huining to reach the size of a city. It was originally founded by the Caotai team in a hurry. In just two years, it was bound to be unable to escape the category of a village.
An emperor who lives in a stockade and some ministers who live in a stockade are completely killable!
Especially in the past two years, the Jurchens have been conducting military campaigns, and they have conquered Liaodong in the south. How many people can there be in Huining?
There are not many Jurchens at this time. Wanyan Aguda can kill him, and this Acheng village tyrant can kill him!
However, who will kill, can he run away after killing, and will anyone take this risk? This is probably not the case in the Song Dynasty. At this time, Song and Jin were not hostile. Who would assassinate the emperor of Jin if they had no time? What's more, Chao Shang wanted to unite with Jin to destroy Liao.
Therefore, Zhao Tong couldn't think of another person who could do this, so he wanted to do it himself, Bailongyu suit, and come to the Northeast in person!
As for Liao, there should be quite a few people who want to kill or assassinate Wanyan Aguda, but there are definitely not many who can actually take action.
The only ones who can really take action and have the ability to do it are Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi.
Xiao Qian's current official position is King Xi Liubu, and he is also the general manager of military affairs on the Northeast Road.
The King of the Six Tribes of Xi is actually King Xi, the highest official of the Xi Tribe, who directs the administration of the military and civilians of the Xi Tribe, and is also known as the Great King of the Six Tribes of Xi.
Zhao Tong did not believe Xiao Qian. As for Yelu Dashi, he had not yet shown his true talent and strategy, so he was just lurking in the abyss.
Can Yelu Dashi be trusted? It is only half trustworthy. Before assassinating Wanyan Aguda, Yelu Dashi would not go against him. Once the assassination was carried out, regardless of success or failure, Yelv Dashi could no longer be trusted!
The two exchanged secret messages for a long time, and the real contact was when Xiao Min arrived. Xiao Min's arrival was actually Yelu Dashi's attitude. I believe King Qi, this matter is feasible, let's do it!
At this moment, it was already dusk, and the setting sun cast its afterglow on the calm sea, shining with red light.
Ahead, a sea ship was parked there, carrying a large black and white triangular flag. As the breeze fluttered, several special patterns on the flag could be faintly seen.
This is the flag of the joint. This sea ship was sent by Yelu Dashi to meet Zhao Tao.
But these are not enough. There must be someone who recognizes Zhao Tong and who also recognizes Zhao Tong, and the two of them must be relatively familiar with each other.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tong stood on the bow of the ship and smiled slightly, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Min, the girl, walking out of the cabin.
