"Sir, I am really just a little thief. Besides, the items stolen from Emperor Ji have been returned, so please let the villain go..."
As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Mu almost laughed out loud. At this time, Shi Qian was tied to a wooden stake. He still looked as tough as before. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and one of his front teeth was knocked out. He couldn't help but look at Changfu beside him, who had an expressionless face.
"Okay! After all, he is a hero from Liangshan, but with such virtue..." Jiang Mu pretended to be serious, and then came to him.
Shi Qian struggled to raise his swollen eyelids and said, "This is His Royal Highness Prince Ding. Your Highness, you also know the heroes of Liangshan..."
Jiang Mu wasn't sure if the timeline was correct, but he still nodded and said, "I've heard that your brother Song Gongming is really nice to you. He actually raised an army to attack Zhujiazhuang just for you. , I wonder if it was beaten down?"
Shi Qian didn't expect Jiang Mu to actually know. He immediately seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and said, "No, we were about to defeat him. I didn't expect Senior He Zheng to suddenly appear at the critical moment and ask the two families to stop and make peace. My brother had been favored by him and didn't want to offend him, so he withdrew his army."
"Brother Song Gongming values the most important thing. His Highness killed the villain, which is a small thing, but for offending Brother Gongming, it is really not worth it. Why not let the villain go at this moment? After the villain returns, His Highness's kindness and righteousness will definitely be respected. Talk to the brothers in Liangshan..."
"Haha, why, do you think this king is afraid of you Liangshan?" Although Jiang Mu was smiling, he was sneering. With such virtue, he still dared to threaten himself. It seemed that Changfu's attack was too light. Of course, it also showed from the side how unbearable Song Jun was.
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have the courage to do this. I just want to introduce Your Highness to the heroes of Liangshan..." Shi Qian quickly explained, but it was a bit far-fetched.
Shi Qian's status in Liangshan was actually not high, and he himself had little strength. But no matter how famous "Song Gongming" is, Song Jiang will never let Shi Qian be caught and ignore him. Thinking that he just came back from Jingshi Mountain, it must be the spy from Liangshan who is following behind.
Jiang Mu held his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Since you trust your brother Gongming so much, let me see if he will save you!"
"Your Highness, do you want to..."
"Don't get me wrong, I don't bother to kill you, but I want you to cooperate well."
Shi Qian's face was ashen, and he secretly cursed himself for why he wanted to commit suicide by going to Jingshi Mountain to steal, but now it was too late to regret it.
After leaving the room, Jiang Mu's expression became solemn: "Changfu, send someone to watch him and don't let him die. In addition, ask Liu Qi and the others not to train for the time being, and to take turns to keep vigil. If anything suspicious is discovered, report him immediately. I report this!"
"Yes, sir!"
...
In the school camp prison, the person who made rude remarks to Zhao Yingluo today was imprisoned.
Because it was King Ding who ordered the arrest, Li Lin, a newly promoted infantry captain, decided to guard it personally.
Seeing the sunset, the subordinate beside him couldn't help but said: "Boss, it's already so late. Your Highness shouldn't be coming tonight, right?"
Li Lin also thought so, but he raised his foot and kicked the person who spoke, "Then watch here and tell you, if you have a good relationship with His Highness Prince Ding, you will benefit from it in the future!"
Li Lin didn't use any force. The subordinate pretended to be in pain and rubbed his buttocks, then said: "Boss, I heard that although Prince Ding is the eldest son of the emperor, our official family highly respects the third prince, His Royal Highness Prince Yun. We want to please him." King Ding...doesn’t he end his own future?"
"Yes, Mr. Yun. In addition to being favored by the officials, King Yun is also on good terms with many ministers in the court. No matter how you look at it, we should all be ingratiating ourselves with King Yun..." Another subordinate also said.
"...."
Li Lin did not refute and said: "To be honest, I feel the same way. However, let's not mention that we and other mere soldiers cannot contact King Yun at all. Even if we can, what can we do? You think anyone can do it. Just like His Highness King Heding, do you treat us equally?"
In fact, he didn't tell the truth. Three days ago, he went outside the city and met a mysterious old Taoist on the way back. The old Taoist's immortal style made him an expert at first glance. He said, "King Ding will be the future king." Lord Ding of the Song Dynasty, if you want to regain the glory of your ancestors, you must follow King Ding." So after knowing that King Ding got Zhongwu Lang from the school camp, he also joined the school camp.
"That's true. Prince Ding's attitude towards us is indeed different from that of the ministers in the court..." They didn't know what Li Lin was thinking, but they quite agreed with what he said.
The official family of Zhao and Song Dynasties valued literature over martial arts, and the status of warriors was always low or high. Soldiers like them often had a status lower than that of an ordinary scholar, and they could not afford the respect of the prince.
"Well, it would be great if King Ding could ascend to the position of crown prince..." A soldier sighed.
"It's not impossible to bring His Highness Prince Ding to the throne..."
When Li Lin heard this, he wanted to ask "how to get to the top", but the next moment, his expression changed and he quickly pulled out the sword from his waist: "Who is it! Who is talking here!"
When the other soldiers saw Li Lin like this, they all looked puzzled, but soon, they also stood up and pulled out the long knives at their waists as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
At the prison gate, I don’t know when there was an extra person, and I saw that person:
Wearing a bucket-shaped turban for wiping eyebrows, a linen wide shirt with a soap collar, a dark brown belt around the waist, and silk shoes and stockings underneath. He has beautiful eyebrows, a white face and a long beard. He is dressed like a scholar, and has a feather fan and quilt. Hold it in your hand, with the other hand behind your back...
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I don't have any bad intentions here. I have something to discuss with your captain..." the man said, shaking the feather fan lightly in his hand, as if he was in control.
Li Lin and others did not relax their vigilance. If this person appeared here without knowing it, he must have some abilities. However, when he looked at this person's face, he suddenly felt that he looked familiar, and asked doubtfully: "Is this person known as the wise man, Mr. Jialiang?"
"Oh, Captain, do you know Xiaosheng?"
Seeing the other party's admission, Li Lin's face became more vigilant and said: "Sir, he claims that Marquis Zhuge Wu is alive. Everyone in the world doesn't know your name. I just don't know what you are doing here late at night?"
It is said that Wu Yong knows astronomy and geography. There are even rumors that this man is the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou and has unpredictable powers. Among the soldiers, some had heard of Wu Yong's name, and they all immediately became more vigilant.
Wu Yong smiled and said: "I told you, don't be nervous. I, Liangshan, abide by benevolence and justice, and respect the integrity. If Captain Li can trust Xiaosheng, he will visit the place where he spoke. If Xiaosheng has important matters to discuss with him."
Hearing this, Li Lin only hesitated for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, sir, please go to the woodshed."
"head..."
The subordinates wanted to persuade him more, but Li Lin stretched out his hand to stop him: "It doesn't matter, this is an important military area, and I don't dare to do anything to him!"
"Then... be careful. If necessary, just shout and we will kill you immediately!"
Li Lin nodded, and then he and Wu Yong came to the woodshed not far away.
There is a lot of firewood piled up in the woodshed, and due to the rainy tides in recent days, most of it has become moldy, and the air is full of musty smell.
As soon as he entered, Li Lin asked directly: "Sir, it is not impossible to decide that the king will ascend the throne. If you have anything to say, please tell me as soon as possible! Don't waste time." He kept holding the long knife tightly in his hand to prevent the other party. ...
Wu Yong did not give in and said: "Xiao Sheng does have a plan that can make King Ding ascend to the throne, but he can only explain it to King Ding."
"In that case, sir, you can go directly to His Highness. Why are you here looking for me?" Li Lin frowned.
"No, no." Wu Yong shook his head: "Xiao Sheng really wanted to find Prince Ding directly, but as soon as he entered Tokyo City, he was targeted by the Imperial City Secretary. If he went directly to Prince Ding's Mansion, wouldn't it be harmful? King Ding?"
"Imperial City Secretary! You were targeted by the Imperial City Secretary and you dared to come here to find me! Didn't you also harm me?"
Seeing that Li Lin was shocked and about to scold his mother, Wu Yong quickly explained: "Captain, don't be alarmed. Although Xiaosheng is being targeted by the Imperial City Secretary, he can use secret techniques to temporarily escape tracking. He is here now and will not be known." .”
Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but still urged: "Sir, if you have any orders, please tell me as soon as possible."
"When King Ding comes here, please tell the captain that I will be waiting for King Ding at Haitang Restaurant at noon tomorrow..."
"Well, I understand, sir. If nothing happens, please leave as soon as possible..." Li Lin was really afraid that the people from the Imperial City Division were in the dark, staring at him.
Wu Yong smiled and shook his head, not saying much, and then under Li Lin's surprised gaze, the figure slowly faded and stopped disappearing...
——
Jiang Mu did not go to the school camp at night, but planned to imprison those "bitter talkers" for three or two days first.
Early the next morning, he went into the palace to meet Zhao Ji. He originally wanted to go see Zhao Yingluo first, and also meet Queen Xiansu, whom he had not seen for a long time. As expected, Queen Xiansu thought she was ill. Because it was not suitable to see others, he was rejected.
This made Jiang Mu puzzled and a little angry, okay! If you don’t see it, you won’t see it! Then never see you again!
When they arrived at Chongsheng Temple, Zhao Ji had been practicing his calligraphy early in the morning. Jiang Mu had to admire this. If it were in the previous life, Zhao Ji would definitely be a master of art. It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time... .
"Oh, what's the matter with Da Lang coming so early to pay his respects to his father?" Zhao Ji put down his pen and ink and asked, and the accompanying eunuch Liang Sili immediately offered tea.
"My son has been busy sorting out military reports from various places in recent days. He has not been able to come to say hello to his father. He really misses him. I had a little free time today, so I came to the palace..." Jiang Mu said, because he pretended to stay up all night last night, his face was red. Look tired.
Zhao Ji saw this with a look of concern on his face: "Although military affairs are important, Dalang must also pay attention to his rest..."
