King of Song

Chapter 622

At dawn, Zhao Zhao was already fifty miles west of Luoyang.

After running wildly all night, the soldiers were very tired, Zhao Zhao immediately ordered everyone to rest.With a distance of fifty miles, I no longer worry about the arrival of pursuers.

The situation last night was obvious, Wang Gui did not hinder his courage and strength, he was a courtier after all, even if he was a feudal official, he would not dare to do anything to the prince.Even if Zhao Zongcheng reacted and arrived in time, it would be too late to pursue him.

The horses under the seat are all high-grade Hequ horses, and their running ability is not good!

Of course, the three thousand soldiers did not come to protect King Qin spontaneously. They were the Great Song Daofeng commanded by Zheke. Of course, they could be renamed King Qin Guards now.

As early as March 29, after the Taimiao sacrifice, Zhao Zhao ordered Li Cheng to inform Zhe Keda to lead Da Song Daofeng to Luoyang to accompany him to leave.

Leaving Bianjing in the name of Yeling was an excuse he had thought up early in the morning, and Zhao Xu had no reason to refuse at all.So the key is the road from Yongan to Tongguan, especially the pass in Luoyang.

It is very difficult to pass the test alone. Even if you have the status of King Qin, what can you do if someone forces you to stay without hurting you?
To be on the safe side, it would be much easier to have an army of soldiers and horses to protect them.Especially the Daofeng of the Song Dynasty, this is an elite specially trained by himself, invincible, loyal to himself, and it is to play its role in this special time.Combat power and speed are absolutely guaranteed.

With three thousand blade fighters in hand, who can stop the majestic King Qin?
Local officials did not have the guts to attack King Qin, and they could not mobilize many troops.Even if it was a head-on confrontation, they would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of three thousand cavalry. As long as they passed Luoyang and quickly entered Tongguan, Zhao Xu would be beyond his reach.

Wang Gui stayed behind for Xijing, and it was obviously Zhao Xu's special arrangement to stop him.Did he leave the city to investigate last night because he found traces of cavalry?Obviously not.

Zhao Zhao knew in his heart that most likely he had received a tip-off from Zhao Zongcheng.Daofeng Daofeng moved quickly, starting from Tongguan like the wind, and when traces were found in the counties and counties along the way, the cavalry had already crossed the border, and there was no time to stop them.The only thing they reported was that Bianjing was too far away, and the first person to get the news should be Luoyang's Xijing staying behind.

It is a pity that Wang Gui did not receive the report immediately.Shao Yong has been in Luoyang for decades, and his network here far exceeds that of Wang Gui, who took office less than half a month ago.With clever operation, the report was delayed a little without anyone knowing it. When Wang Gui received the news, the cavalry was already twenty miles west of Luoyang.

It was too late to find out the identity of the cavalryman, so he confronted Zhao Zhao head-on. With his position and ability, he couldn't stop His Royal Highness King Qin with sufficient reasons.He could only watch Zhao Zhao leave helplessly, helplessly.

"It's great, you've worked hard!" During the break, Zhao Zhaowen expressed condolences.

"It's not hard, it's my honor to serve my uncle... and King Qin!" Zhe Keda said sincerely and respectfully.

"Why is it so important? When there are no outsiders, don't be so formal, after all, we are a family." Zhao Zhao knew in his heart that Zhe Keda had not been easy these two days.

At that time, he was training in Longshan, and when the news came from Bianjing, he moved eastward non-stop, running back and forth for hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles, how could he not work hard?Looking at Zhe Ke's slightly exhausted identity, Zhao Zhao was quite moved, and at the same time had a good premonition.

Zhe Keda said softly: "Uncle, my father has sent a letter, asking me to obey my uncle's instructions, and he will fully support me in Fuzhou. This conflict in Wuding River was personally arranged by my father."

Sure enough, Zhao Zhao was completely relieved when he heard this sentence.

Zhe Kexing and his son were expressing their loyalty to themselves. Although it was expected, hearing them say it personally made them feel more at ease.

The Zhe family in Fuzhou are relatives-in-law, the people with the closest relationship, if they don't support it, how can we talk about the foundation?What about the future?
Zhekexing's movements and Zhekeda's galloping welcome fully demonstrate their attitude.With the absolute support of the Zhejia, it is only possible to gain a firm foothold in the northwest and truly control the Western Army.

Zhe Keda also knew in his heart that his uncle became the king of Qin. If he ascended the throne in the future, then his aunt would be the imperial concubine, and Zhe's family would be his relatives.I don't know how much higher the status and interests are than today?In fact, they have no other choice at all. It is about the battle for the throne. Everyone is happy if they win, but if they fail, it will be a catastrophe.

This is a major event to exterminate the nine clans. If my uncle really fails, what will happen to the Zhe family as in-laws?Over the past year, Zhe Keda has been following Zhao Zhao, and has a deep understanding of his uncle's character and ability.

He personally participated in the battle of Hehuang. His uncle was brave and good at fighting, and he had a great strategy.If not, Zhao Zhao would not have handed over such special weapons as Da Song Daofeng to his commander.Zhe Keda also realized this point. This is a rare opportunity. If he grasps it well, the future of Zhejia will be bright and bright, and he himself will have a bright future.

"By the way, is the situation in the Northwest okay? Are there any unusual actions by local officials? What's the news?" Zhao Zhao is most concerned about the situation in the Northwest right now.

"Fortunately, I can't know the specific thoughts of each general, but they are still stable at present, and most people are in a wait-and-see state." Zhe Ke said: "From the current situation, after all, most of the people are promoted and arranged by your uncle." , loyalty should be no problem."

"Hmm!" Zhao Zhao's only worry is that there will be changes, as long as everything is calm, then it doesn't matter.Wait until I have fallen to Chang'an, and then proceed, everything is still too late.

"Uncle...Auntie, are they safe in Bianjing?" Zhe Keda hesitated for a while, but stopped asking.Now Zhewenxin has a special meaning to their Zhejia, and it is the link to maintain the connection with King Qin.The future status and interests are also closely related to Zhewenxin.This time, he only received Zhao Zhao, but no family members.Zhe Ke knows well that if her aunt Zhe Wenxin stays in Bianjing, she is bound to become a hostage, and her safety is really a concern.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will arrange it properly!" Although Zhao Zhao said so, he felt uneasy in his heart.

Zhao Zhao pondered for a moment, then called Li Cheng to order: "Immediately write a letter in my name, saying that the Xixia people assassinated and set fire to the Yongchang Mausoleum. When I was chasing the assassins, I came across soldiers from the Western Army who came to report that Xixia had invaded Suixia. On the front line of the state, the military situation is urgent, and it is too late to say goodbye, so I will go directly to Chang'an to defend the defense, please forgive me! The general idea is like this, let people think about how to use the pen!"

"Yes!"

"Also, inform the family as soon as possible, the queen mother and elder sister, and tell Duke Di to be careful." Zhao Zhao's heart was a little messy, and for the current plan, he could only arrange it like this, so that Zhao Xu would not dare to act rashly.

"Okay, take a rest for one and a half Tokiomi, leave immediately after eating, and you will be truly safe after passing Tongguan!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bianjing Imperial Palace, Hanging Palace!

Zhao Xu was furious, and Zhao Zhao slipped away!
Although I have some psychological preparations, when things really happen, I still can't accept it.

Zhao Zongcheng stood below, with his head down, not daring to vent his breath.Ever since Zhao Zhao disappeared from his field of vision that night, he expected that today would be the day, and it was inevitable to bear the wrath of thunder.

"Trash? Can 3000 people look down on Zhao Zhao?" Zhao Xu yelled, ignoring the fact that standing in front of him was his own uncle.

"The officials are incompetent, but the Yongchang Mausoleum suddenly caught fire, and the situation is critical, so we have to mobilize people to fight the fire!" Zhao Zongcheng said helplessly, "Zhao Zhao is really cunning, and he just took advantage of this gap to escape."

"Hmph, knowing that he is cunning, you should be more careful, how can you be so careless?" Zhao Zhao cursed angrily, and suddenly asked: "Okay, why did Yongchang Mausoleum catch fire?"

"Yeah, I also think that the fire in Yongchang Mausoleum is very strange." Zhao Zongcheng immediately agreed. To be honest, he was really afraid of this cold and furious nephew.At this moment, as long as it can calm Zhao Xu's anger, he is willing to do anything, even kneel down.Sometimes he really thinks, is it really worth taking the risk to support the thirteenth brother in the past?What has been exchanged now?This nephew is really sad.

"Could it be that someone deliberately set the Yongchang Mausoleum on fire?" Zhao Xu's meaning was very clear.

Zhao Zongsheng said: "At that time, people from Xixia assassinated the King of Qin. According to King Qin's statement to Wang Gui who stayed behind in Xijing, it was the people from Xixia who did it."

"From Xixia? Huh!" Zhao Xu snorted coldly, "How can there be such a coincidence? Wang Gui is also a fool. I have high hopes for him, but he let Zhao Zhao slip away."

Zhao Zongcheng remained silent, but he did not dare to speak too much.

Zhao Xu said: "So, his suspicion is the biggest..."

"It's a very important matter, officials should not be suspicious." Empress Dowager Gao Taotao walked in and said in a deep voice: "The king of Qin is a descendant of the Zhao family, how could he be disrespectful to the mausoleum of the Taizu? It's either a coincidence or someone from Xixia did it." of."

"Mother, Zhao Zhao is so bold..." Zhao Xu felt that this was an excuse that could be used to make a big fuss.

"Do you have evidence? What reason does the King of Qin have to do this? Will people in the world believe it?" Gao Taotao asked coldly. He didn't think Zhao Zhao would be so despicable and shameless, and he didn't agree with his son's recklessness.

"But, ma'am..."

"No but!" Gao Tao said: "If you don't kill him, it is inevitable that he will leave. Don't think too much about the past, let's plan for the future! Also, King Pu also tried his best. Just don't blame him..."

"Okay!" Mother said, Zhao Xu didn't dare to refuse, so he had to agree.

At this time, a servant sent three memorials.Zhao Xu looked up and saw that one belonged to Zhao Zhao, king of Qin, one belonged to Wang Gui who stayed behind in Xijing, and the other was played by Wen Yanbo, the envoy of Xuanfu of Hebei Road.
