As the day dawns, autumn is getting stronger, cold dew is dripping from the grass and trees, and fallen leaves are rustling down.
On the bank of the Huai River in Sizhou, Zhao Hong looked at the river. The eastern sky was red, the sky and the earth were vast, and the Huai River silently flowed eastward.
The young woman standing next to him was graceful and tall, and she was Yan Chun.
"Shopkeeper Yan, how do you know that someone is going to harm me? Who are you?"
After holding back the words for a long time, Zhao Hong finally couldn't help it and asked curiously.
At the same time, a pair of thieves' eyes were turning on Yan Chun.
After not seeing each other for a few months, he realized that he was obsessed with her, just like a young boy who had just fallen in love, he always had the other person in his heart.
"Be careful with your dog eyes! What are you looking at?"
Yan Chun glared at Zhao Hong, then turned his eyes to the river.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, congratulations on your promotion to the Crown Prince and the birth of your precious son!"
"Yan Chun, why do I feel so sour when I hear your words!"
Zhao Hong seemed to understand a little bit and shook his head gently.
"There are some things that I can't help. I didn't mean to lie to you."
I don’t know what is going on with his son Zhao Quan now?
With Zhou Ping and Xu Sheng here, everything should be fine.
"Does your matter have anything to do with me?"
Yan Chun said bitterly, but his expression softened.
This prodigal still has himself in his heart after all.
"Yan Chun, you haven't said anything yet, how do you know they want to harm me?"
Zhao Hong asked again and quietly moved closer to Yan Chun.
As the two of them talked, all the guards, including Zhu Duanchang, stayed away and no one disturbed them.
"What are you doing? Stay away!"
Yan Chun took two steps away cautiously.
"I don't know that someone wants to harm you, I just guessed. What kind of identity can I have? It's just that I have more money and many friends. What are you asking blindly? Will I harm you?"
Yan Chun turned his eyes to the rushing river, as if nothing had happened.
"I understand. You brought my books to the Kingdom of Jin to sell them. I see that you have a guilty conscience. Otherwise, why would you explain so much?"
Zhao Hong was unyielding and took a few steps closer.
"But I haven't said goodbye to Emperor Jin yet. Wouldn't it be too rude to do so?"
Zhao Hong still didn't believe that there would be generals from the Kingdom of Jin who would be unfavorable to him.
Moreover, he also wanted to leave a message to Peng Yibin in the north and let him return south quickly.
Now it seems that all these plans cannot be realized.
"You have a guilty conscience? You don't want to look at the dirty look on your face!"
Yan Chun said angrily, but this time he didn't take a few steps away.
She probably also knew that doing so was in vain.
"I'm sorry? Is face more important, or is your life more important? Do you really have no idea?"
"That's what I said, but I went to the Kingdom of Jin and didn't go to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. I couldn't explain it when I went back, and I would be punished with words and writings."
Zhao Hong shook his head and said frustratedly.
The imperial mausoleum of the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is in Gongyi, Zhengzhou. Although many of the tombs have been robbed over the past hundred years, envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty usually went to pay homage to the Jin Dynasty to show that their unworthy descendants had been there.
Especially Zhao Hong, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, did not go to pay homage to the Jin Kingdom, which was really unworthy of his descendants.
"Why worship a dead person? Let's take care of you, a living person first!"
Yan Chun glared at Zhao Hong dissatisfied.
"When the ship arrives, leave quickly. Only when you enter the Song Dynasty will you be considered safe."
"You won't come with me? This is not okay! If something happens, I will never feel at ease in my life!"
Zhao Hong asked in surprise, feeling very anxious.
Yan Chun had a slender figure and bright eyes and white teeth. He felt love in his heart and was afraid that something might happen to her when she went back.
"I'm going back to Tokyo City, and I have some things to deal with. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Feeling the love in Zhao Hong's eyes, Yan Chun's heart felt warm and his voice became gentle.
This prodigal still has his own feelings in his heart.
"Don't go back. We'll talk about it later. At worst, we won't go to Tokyo anymore. I'll take care of you!"
Zhao Hong became anxious unconsciously and blurted out.
"You support me?"
Yan Chun smiled slightly, with a sad look in his eyes.
"I'm jealous. You're a dignified prince and I can't stand having so many women around you."
At this moment of separation, she finally did not hide her emotions.
Zhao Hong was stunned and instantly understood the meaning of Yan Chun's words. It seemed that his romantic nature made Yan Chun want to quit.
No wonder Yan Chun disappeared when he took Zhou Xiuniang back home.
"Come with me! I can't let you go! I can't let you take risks!"
The ship hadn't arrived yet, but when his mood got the better of him, Zhao Hong boldly hugged Yan Chun tightly.
"What are you going to do? There is someone else..."
Yan Chun was ashamed and annoyed, her face flushed. The man's strong shoulders made her heart beat loudly, and she could only stare angrily, hoping that he would let her go quickly.
Everyone in the distance was stunned for a moment, and then turned around, facing away from the two people hugging each other tightly.
Zhao Hong was even more courageous. Before Yan Chun could struggle out, Zhao Hong directly found the delicate red lips and covered them.
"Well……"
Yan Chunru was struck by lightning and was stunned for a moment. He wanted to push Zhao Hong away, but he didn't have any strength left.
Under the passionate kiss, Yan Chun was out of breath, hugged Zhao Hong, and allowed the other party to be unrestrained.
With a moment of joy, the other person may never forget you.
"No... want... um..."
Yan Chun moaned in embarrassment despite wanting to resist.
"Is this your ferry?"
Yan Chun had given up and allowed Zhao Hong to move his hands up and down. The two kissed passionately. When they were lost in thought, suddenly, a boatman's shout came from the river, and Zhao Hong felt a pain in his lower abdomen. He involuntarily let go of Yan Chun, bent down and hugged her. Belly.
It turned out that he didn't take precautions and was kneeled on the stomach by Yan Chun.
"If it weren't for you..., I would move down three inches..."
Yan Chun's face turned red, he looked around and arranged his clothes.
"It turns out you are really a libertine. This is your fate. Let's see if you dare to be bold in the future!"
She glanced at the river and said angrily: "Hurry, the boat is here!"
Zhao Hong straightened up, but shook his head and answered the question incorrectly, which made Yan Chun's face turn red instantly.
"You dare not go down three inches, and you are not willing to let it go!"
The boat rowed towards the south bank, and Zhao Hong stood on the bow, reluctant to leave, frequently waving to Yan Chun on the shore. When he landed on the shore and looked back, Yan Chun's figure had disappeared.
Coming and going like the wind, this trip to the Kingdom of Jin was like a dream.
After crossing the river, reaching the other side, and passing the checkpoint, the ferry was the Song Army's post station.
Everyone moved forward, but before they reached the inn, several people from the opposite side hurriedly walked over. Most of them were covered in armor. The leader was not wearing an iron helmet. She turned out to be a young woman in her 20s. Judging from her slender figure and dignified appearance, she was like a few of her followers. The man is generally tall and looks familiar.
"Yang Miaozhen, the commander of Chuzhou Zhongyi Army, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The female general took the lead and knelt down on one knee together with several generals to pay tribute to Zhao Hong.
"You are Yang Miaozhen! Please get up! Generals, please get up!"
Zhao Hong was taken aback, held up his hands, and asked a few people to get up.
With an oval face, picturesque eyebrows, but a slightly darker complexion, and a supermodel-like figure, she is undoubtedly a Gone with the Wind.
It turns out that this is Li Quan's wife, another coach of the Shandong Zhongyi Army - "Entang" Yang Miaozhen.
The several generals of the loyal army beside Yang Miaozhen were fierce, brave, and full of violence. Their faces had the color of dust, and they were obviously tough men with a heart as hard as iron.
The Shandong Zhongyi Army is brave, adept at fighting, and unruly. It truly deserves its reputation.
"General Yang, why are you here?"
Zhao Hong looked back and asked in surprise.
Yang Miaozhen showed up at the Xuyi Army on the Surabaya border. Could it be that he was here to take his life?
"Your Highness, could you please take a moment to speak?"
Zhao Hong was polite and courteous, but Yang Miaozhen was bolder.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I didn't find out until later that Your Highness was on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, so I've been waiting here because I just wanted to see His Highness the Crown Prince and talk to him about what's on my mind."
Seeing that Zhao Hong seemed hesitant, Yang Miaozhen hurriedly explained.
"General Yang, please!"
Zhao Hong felt a little relieved, made a "please" gesture, and walked to the river embankment with Yang Miaozhen.
With Song troops surrounding him and so many guards of his own, Yang Miaozhen should not act recklessly.
"General Yang, tell me what you have to say."
Zhao Hong did not hesitate and went straight to the topic.
"Your Highness, there was civil strife in Chuzhou a few months ago, and I cannot take it for granted. I hope Your Highness will learn from it."
Yang Miaozhen said bravely.
A few months ago, Li Quan sent Liu Qingfu back to Chuzhou from Shandong to drive away the Huaidong envoy Xu Guo, killed Xu Guo's aide Zhang Mengxian, set fire to the government office, and took away the government savings. Xu Guo hanged himself on the way and the Song court was shocked.
Prime Minister Shi Miyuan was afraid of another incident, so he put things to rest and appointed Xu Xiji to succeed Huaidong as an envoy, ordering him to appease Li Quan.
And Yang Miaozhen was the mastermind of the Chuzhou Rebellion.
"General Yang, Xu State is unfair to the loyal army. You can report it to the court. There is no need to use such extreme methods. What was originally reasonable has become out of control."
Zhao Hong said thoughtfully and sincerely.
"However, these things are in the past. If the loyal army can be used by the court sincerely, all the festivals will be wiped out. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. However, I am just a powerless prince, and I am afraid that I can't do anything about the affairs of the court. "
The Zhongyi Army and Song Ting were at odds with each other, and both sides were responsible. It would be a great benefit if the Zhongyi Army could be returned to the imperial government.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have been suppressed by Shi Miyuan and have been unable to realize your ambition. If His Highness the Crown Prince allows it, our loyal army can raise troops to clear the emperor's side and help the Crown Prince ascend to the throne of emperor. The loyal army is willing to run for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What do you think, Your Highness the Crown Prince? "
Zhao Hong was kind, Yang Miaozhen said boldly.
The Zhongyi Army is now in an embarrassing situation, and they are at odds with Song Ting. If possible, Song Ting will definitely wipe out the Zhongyi Army.
Under such circumstances, if we can get the support of the prince of the Song Dynasty, we can at least save a lot of disadvantages.
"General Yang, please don't!"
Zhao Hong's heartbeat quickened and he quickly spoke to stop him.
"If the loyal army goes south, they will become rebels. They will have a dishonorable name and will be despised by everyone in the world! At that time, there will be no room for turning back."
Zhao Hong was surprised by Yang Miaozhen's courage.
Such a beautiful woman is bold, wild-minded, and difficult to control.
Following the ambitious Li Quan, it is a pity that the beauty is unlucky!
"General Yang, listen to my advice. Go back and have a good discussion with General Li and reconcile with the court as soon as possible. Tell him that ambition and power will kill people. I promise that if you two are willing to lead your troops south, I will do everything possible. I will do my best to help you two enjoy wealth and a worry-free life."
Why does a woman with such a good figure, in her 20s and an average age, have to fight and kill?
Isn’t it really good to drink tea, admire the moon, raise your husband and raise your children, and live in peace for the rest of your life?
"Your Highness, I am determined to do my best."
Yang Miaozhen's eyes dimmed a lot.
"General Yang, life is too short, why bother licking blood with the tip of a knife all day long? That's it for now, just take care of yourself."
Noticing the change in Yang Miaozhen's expression, Zhao Hong secretly felt something was wrong.
Li Quan was entrenched in Shandong, and Song Ting was unable to control it. It was already too big to lose. I'm afraid I would be too naive if I wanted him to give up the power in his hands.
"Your Highness, take care!"
Yang Miaozhen seemed to be relieved a lot, and he and the other generals rode towards the east. Everyone was very energetic and strong.
"Your Highness, you have a private meeting with the generals, but be careful!"
Zhu Duanchang came up and whispered beside Zhao Hong.
"Is power really that important?"
Zhao Hong didn't answer the question, and said softly to the back of Yang Miaozhen and his group as they left.
