Chapter 373 Delay strategy
Chen Song spoke very quickly, but every word was pronounced clearly.

Yang Yi naturally knew that Dayue people were watching him from behind and wanted to kill him, but he did not expect that Lian Yang would personally take action. After all, Lian Yang was already the last remnant of Dayue's subjugated dynasty. Once Lian Yang was in danger, they would Your ambition is over!
"No, Zhou's checkpoints in the northwest are so strict. There is no need for Lian Yang to take risks just for me!" Yang Yi's eyes suddenly sharpened when he said this, "He must have other purposes! What did you find out after following them? ?”

As a subordinate who followed him through thick and thin, even if Chen Song didn't say anything, Yang Yi knew that he would never come back without any gain.

Sure enough, Chen Song heard the words and replied: "After Lian Yang and the others escaped, my subordinates immediately followed them. But their horses were fast and mine was slow, so I could only chase them all the way and inquire. After three days, I was basically sure that they were trying to escape at the northwest pass. , so he handed an anonymous letter to the Dazhou military camp guarding the border, and saw with his own eyes that they rushed back after encrypted interrogation at Guanqiao.

"Before I came back, I saw a few other people contacting them. The accents and looks of those people were clearly from Donzi!"

Yang Yi frowned: "Who is he from Dongzi? Do you know him?"

"I can't recognize them, but when Lian Yang met them, he saluted two of them first, which shows that they are not unknown people!"

"What do those two people look like?"

"Both are born with great talent and strong skills. They are obviously military generals. In fact, if my subordinates guess correctly, they are probably two of the generals who were instigated to rebel against Dongzi. Even if they are not the generals themselves, they must be their cronies."

Yang Yi couldn't sit still.

He stood up and wandered around twice, then stopped and turned around: "Why did Lian Yang choose to meet them inside the pass? Did he tell the generals guarding the border all these things?"

"I told them all in the letter, but it's not certain whether we can catch them. Because their whereabouts are elusive, and they don't seem to be planning to leave immediately, because they separated the day after the meeting.

"The Dongzi people have left the customs, and the relationship between Da Zhou and Dongzi is quite harmonious, so they have the documents to leave the customs, and there will not be much hindrance in entering and exiting the customs.

"But Lian Yang didn't go with them, and he could have followed them out of seclusion. He disappeared."

After Chen Song finished speaking, the hall became quiet.

The atmosphere in the small space became solemn.

He Zhao stepped forward: "It seems that only the imperial court can resolve this matter. Lord, do we need to inform General Pei immediately about this news?"

Yang Yi said angrily: "You must tell him! - You go prepare your horse, and I will go to Pei's house."

It is naturally inappropriate to go to the Gyeonggi Camp to look for Pei Zhan in his current capacity. Pei Yu's current position is the commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Camp, and the same goes for him.

After sending He Zhao away, Yang Yi looked at Chen Song and calmed down: "When the guards of the Pei family went to Tanzhou to investigate the inside story, they were accidentally exposed. You didn't suffer much afterwards, right?"

"My subordinates are very kind." Chen Song lowered his head and raised his arms in turn, "They can't do anything to me."

Yang Yi took a deep breath and nodded: "You two followed me all the way, how could it be okay?"

"Lord..."

Chen Song also noticed that something was wrong with his tone and couldn't help but stepped forward, "Have you already been to Pei's house? Does the palace already know about you?"

Yang Yi said slowly: "Just last night, I met my mother."

Chen Song was silent. Then he said: "Then my dear, is she...is she okay?"

"It's a long story." Yang Yi raised his chin towards the door of the courtyard, "Let's talk as we walk. You should also go to Pei's Mansion with me first. Do some important things first, and then have a good rest when you get back."

……

Pei Yu and his wife almost stayed up all night last night. The eldest prince in the court suddenly appeared in good condition after disappearing for many years. It was really news worth pondering.

Early in the morning, the couple sent Fu Zhen to the upper room, and asked him the inside story of how the Queen brought him into the palace last night. When they learned that the gentle and harmless King Yan in the eyes of everyone had actually... Such a mess caused the queen to delay her life for seven years before seeing her biological son who had disappeared for many years. She was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat!

Let’s not talk about how important Yang Yi’s identity is. Let’s just say that King Yan was able to do such a thing in private without saying a word - he clearly knew that there were only three brothers under the emperor. It was really a loss of one. , he can still do such self-righteous things, can he still become the king of a country?

Not to mention that he is not even of royal blood!

Then he is even more unworthy of being in power!

It is definitely not appropriate to take this path!

Madam Pei was so panicked that she quickly asked Fu Zhen: "Does the Queen really intend to let her be the Crown Princess? Does she really want to let the Highness make the decision on his own and let him decide whether to return to the palace to inherit the throne or not?"

"No," before Fu Zhen could answer, Pei Yu, who had been thinking for a long time, shook his head decisively, "Your Majesty will never be so emotional. He is the most considerate in his actions. What he said must be a delaying tactic. "

Fu Zhen couldn't help but admire: "Yes, although the empress didn't say it clearly, it does seem to be a delaying strategy at the moment.

"And in this hasty situation, it is indeed appropriate to let King Yan take the throne to appease people's hearts.

"King Yan has no power of his own. He has lived in the palace since childhood and has never had contact with court officials. The empress can completely control the direction of things.

"Taking a step back, even if she is full of ambition but not strong enough, doesn't she still have our Pei family?"

When Fu Zhen looked deeply at the couple, Mrs. Pei suddenly understood: "It turns out that this is the purpose of the empress sending you to the palace last night to observe! The empress wanted us, the Pei family, to watch from behind to protect the changes in the palace. It’s foolproof!”

"Exactly!" Fu Zhen nodded, "His Highness has endured more than twenty years of hardship outside. He has never thought about returning to the palace, let alone accepting the throne. If he is forced to take over now, what will happen? Or using affection to coerce will be counterproductive.

"What's more, what will happen if the Emperor learns about it? No one knows now. Even if His Highness agrees to take over the country, the Emperor still has to recognize him, so we must not act too hastily at this time."

After hearing this, Pei Yu agreed and asked, "Can the empress tell you what her next step will be?"

"I didn't say it. But if there is any use for me, I think she will definitely tell me in advance." Pei Yu took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "On that day, I just felt that the conspiracy of the deposed prince was exposed, even if it could only be replaced by a frail and sick one. The prince did not hesitate to ascend to the throne, but he did not expect that there would be such twists and turns next!
"The King of Yan will definitely not be able to ascend to the throne. Even if the eldest son of the emperor does not appear, dragging a distant relative of the Yang family and bringing him to the capital to raise him will not make him ascend to the throne. Otherwise, his abilities and his life experience will definitely not be the same. It will be a hidden danger!
"The appearance of the emperor's eldest son can only be said to have made all this happen more legitimately."

Having said this, he greeted Mrs. Pei: "It seems that we have to speed up to help His Highness find a place to settle down. Only when he has his own place to stay can it be more convenient for him to see the palace clearly. and the current situation in the court to make a choice.”

Mrs. Pei said: "This matter is easy to handle. We still have several houses in the capital, both large and small. It also avoids the trouble of letting Ya Xing get involved. When the time comes, please choose one for yourself." Yes. If he insists on paying, he will just follow the market price."

"That's fine." Pei Yu agreed, and he sent Fuzhen: "You two have good guards, please send someone to invite His Highness!"

Just as Fu Zhen was about to open his mouth to speak, the housekeeper came in: "Master, madam, the Mr. Yang who came last night is asking for an audience outside the house."

"Please come in quickly!"

Pei Yu didn't expect that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived, so he sent people down without saying a word, and then stepped out with his legs: "Go and prepare tea! Prepare tea!..."

Fu Zhencai sent someone to tell Yang Yi the news that Lian Yang had escaped in Yingpan Town. Unexpectedly, he came. He immediately looked at each other and Mrs. Pei and followed him in unison.

The servants of the Pei Mansion have always been very discerning. Yang Yi, He Zhao and Chen Song have already been invited to the front yard. Pei Yu has long legs and reached the front yard all the way ahead of Fu Zhen and others, and then invited them there. Your own study room.

By the time Fu Zhen and the others caught up, all the servants had been pushed back, and Chen Song was saluting Pei Yu with his back to the door.

Seeing how close they were, Fu Zhen guessed Chen Song's identity. He quickened his pace and went to the house to look him over. His eyes lit up: "I have admired the name of Guard Chen for a long time, and today I finally meet him. Our general has a surname. Chiang’s bodyguard has been talking about Guard Chen for a long time.”

Fu Zhen has been taking good care of her for more than half a year. Not only is she beautiful and beautiful, her skin is plump, her energy has greatly increased, and she has changed a lot.

Since Chen Song was disfigured, he rarely meets people unless Yang Yi orders him to do so.

Today's trip was a must, but he didn't expect to see such a beautiful general's wife all of a sudden, so he couldn't help but turn around and dodge.

Fu Zhen is a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters, and Pei Yu and his wife are also free and easy. When they saw this, they just smiled kindly and said: "You two are loyal and courageous. You have never made any mistakes in protecting your highness for many years. This loyalty is ours." You are a role model for people, you can be regarded as heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why should Chen Huwei care? "

Chen Song glanced at them in shock, and was finally touched by their frankness. He turned back and bowed deeply to Fu Zhen.

Yang Yi smiled: "The eldest daughter-in-law that Uncle Chang Hao married is indeed very elegant."

Pei Yu was grinning from ear to ear: "It's all because of that boy Zhan'er's discernment!"

After saying that, he came to invite Yang Yi to sit down. Yang Yi refused and became the first guest. Then he talked about the purpose of his visit without mincing words: "Chen Song just came back from the northwest. I have important news to tell you! I was with Lian Rong that day. The person hiding in Yingpan Town was actually Lian Yang. He had already made plans to escape, so even if the soldiers of the Golden Rooster Battalion surrounded Yingpan Town, he still escaped!

"After leaving the town, he went directly to the northwest to meet the people in Dongzi!"

Upon hearing this news, all the Pei family members present pricked up their ears!

Yang Yi pointed at Chen Song: "Come and tell the general what happened, and try to convey the news to the Gyeonggi camp quickly, and ask General Pei to make a decision quickly!"

……

When Yang Yi's master and servant rushed to Pei Mansion, Pei Zhan was convening Cheng Chili and Du Mingqian in the Gyeonggi camp to study the news brought by Tie Ying.

Hearing that the stranger who appeared in the bun shop was Lian Yang, Cheng Chili immediately slapped himself in the face!

"How could I be so stupid that I let him go from under my nose! If I had stayed a little longer at the tofu shop that night, or had been more careful in front of the bun shop the next morning, wouldn't he have Did you let me catch you?

"That way I can still get a lot of credit! Now, not only will I get no credit, but I will also be fooled to death by myself!"

The sound of snapping shocked everyone, but no one stepped forward to stop him.

It wasn't until he finished fanning himself and the wailing stopped that Pei Zhan glanced at him slowly: "It's stupid enough to be stupid, but you think he can escape so smoothly. It really depends on everything." Is it luck?"

Cheng Zhili was speechless, looking down at his red slap.

Du Mingqian burst into laughter.

Then he said seriously: "If he dares to come to the capital, all aspects must have been taken care of. If he is not 100% sure, are you really going to fall under our noses?"

"If he is really that reckless, we don't have to worry about it."

Cheng Zhili was speechless: "Do you know that there is still such a big scene in Yingpan Town?"

"If they didn't do this, how would they have thought that we had already sent a letter to the northwest in advance? How would they have known that we had sent people to Donzi to understand the situation many days in advance?"

Cheng Chili suddenly realized: "Is co-writing all an act?"

"Of course not all of them." Du Mingqian pointed to the map of hundreds of miles around Yingpan Town on the table and explained to him, "Lian Yang was able to arrive in the capital without anyone noticing, and he and Lien Chan were circling Yingpan Town for so long. Most of the people in the town Something fishy.

“After such a search, we discovered several tunnels, some of which led to rivers, some to village wells, and several families who moved here after the founding of the People’s Republic of China.

"After interrogation, they were found to be from the Big Moon."

When Du Mingqian said this, he raised his eyebrows at Cheng Zhili again: "Your brother told us last night. Why, he didn't tell you?"

Cheng Zhili was so angry that he wanted to curse: "You all know it, but you just hide it from me?"

"If I don't hide it from you, how could those people named Lian believe it?" Pei Zhan glanced at him, and then pulled out a military report from under the pile of official documents, "This was sent by the Ministry of War this morning. Go to Dongzi." The people who inquired about the news over there have responded, and the news is true, and the situation seems to be more serious than we thought. "
