Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 406 Wang Xiu's Gaffe

"Live a good life, it's not your business." Wang Xiu chuckled.

At this moment, an official galloped over, reined in the horse and said, "My lord, the court envoy has arrived."

"Oh." Wang Xiu was startled, and said to himself naturally: "There are envoys here, how did they leave the city?"

"Lord Zhongli and Lord Zong are receiving you."

"Well, you go and inform me first, so I'll be there soon." Wang Xiu pondered for a while, she couldn't justify not showing up, so go and see how he is, anyway, he has the military power, and he has the absolute initiative, if it is true It would be great to let him assist Kang Wang, and he could do something in a legitimate way.

He glanced at Lu Zhenniang again, and said in a gentle voice, "Let's take my leave first, let my family not worry when I go back."

Lu Zhenniang stared at Wang Xiu's back, and suddenly, there was a trace of regret in her heart. It seemed that Wang Xiu was not that annoying, and it seemed that something was going away from her. It felt weird, like knocking down a bottle of flavor. What is it like, it seems that the wind is a little strong, and the tears are blown out.

When Wang Xiu arrived at Xingyuan, he was greeted by Cai Yi, Shen Mo, Li Bao, and Shangguan Qian. Li Bao took the lead and said, "My lord, we didn't show up. We just brought the envoy in and sealed the news."

"Very good." Wang Xiu glanced at Li Bao appreciatively. As expected of a famous general who walks the ocean, his flexible choices can be useful. Shangguan Qian was obviously inferior.

"The capital is under siege, so why come as an envoy? Isn't this nonsense!" Cai Yi said in an inconsequential way.

Silently glanced at Cai Yi, and pressed Cai Erlang to Zhao Guan's house to offend Cai Erlang badly. He opened his eyes and spoke nonsense, obviously intending to kill the envoy and let the Zhao family be tossed by the Jurchen.No wonder, Zhao Huan was ruthless enough, he killed two backbones of the Cai family in one go, and the old grand master was also forced to death. .

"Then let the envoy rest first, and then at night... What, envoy?" Wang Xiu smiled, and when she was about to make plans, she suddenly thought that the envoy was not the eunuch of the inner palace?Could it be...The person he had been trying to forget all this time suddenly appeared, and his heart ached.

"Eunuch, be mysterious, and never speak if you don't see you." Shen Mo said indifferently.

"Eunuch, is it Wang Xiaojie or who?" Wang Xiu's thoughts flickered, he felt a little regretful, why did he deliberately forget, did he really want her to die with hatred?Can't help but let out a long sigh.

Shen Mo frowned, and said: "Honor of Funing Palace, Neixitou enshrined official Zhang Quan." "Who, Zhang Quan?" Wang Xiu took a breath, and it was indeed her who sent it!Without any hesitation, he said flatly: "Please invite him to my festival hall, you guys avoid it for now."

Everyone was stunned, wondering what kind of secret Wang Xiu was selling, why did he change his mind after hearing about Zhang Quan?But they don't mind, see you as soon as you see them, it's no big deal, maybe let them avoid it, because you don't want them to be contaminated, leaving a leeway.

After Wang Xiu left, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.After a long time, Cai Yi said, "What's going on?"

Silence shook his head and remained silent.

Li Bao's complexion was complicated, he didn't know what Wang Xiu's plan was, he didn't know what others were doing, anyway, he had already fully supported Wang Xiu, without making any reservations, Wang Xiu may have left a leeway for them, but it was not what he wanted.Just like the sea he wished for, once he really plunged into it, it would be difficult to have a chance to get out of it.

"It seems that Wen Shi is familiar with Zhang Quan, so don't overthink it." Mo Mo looked at the crowd and reminded them lightly.

Shangguan Qian heaved a sigh of relief, Li Bao silently nodded, and Cai Yi's eyes flickered.

When Wang Xiu came to the temporary festival hall, the garrison officer brought in a middle-aged man in his thirties who was thin and without need. He recognized Zhang Quan at a glance.

"My lord, I have met my lord." Zhang Quan came in and saw Wang Xiu, his eyes lit up.

Wang Xiu waved his hand to let the guard go out, then smiled and said: "You don't need to be polite, I don't know what the cabinet chief is doing here?"

Zhang Quan said in a low voice, "There is a sage's decree."

Wang Xiu's heart tightened, and he stared at Zhang Quan, but he didn't see any panic and dodge. Killing the ministers, defrauding the ruling, and seizing military power were all shocking actions that had never been done since the founding of the Song Dynasty. After doing everything, he had to worry, even if he believed that Zhang Quan was sent by Zhu Lian, he still couldn't relax his guard.

Zhang Quan's attitude towards Wang Xiu is incredible. He knows the relationship between Zhu Lian and Wang Xiu. Even without his help, Zhu Lian would not be able to leave the palace. It is the capital of becoming Zhu Lian's number one confidant. He has the full power of the queen. Support, even Wang Xiaoji and others had to be polite to him, but they didn't understand that Wang Xiu would be very cold, and there was even deep guard in his eyes.

"Oh, then I'll watch it first." Wang Xiu stared straight at Zhang Quan's actions without saying a word.

Zhang Quan is a person who has experienced the world for a long time, so he doesn't know the current situation, if he does something that Wang Xiu thinks is wrong, he will die on the spot.What I have seen in the past few days, the rumors that the army in Chenzhou is holding back and waiting to see the success or failure, it seems that it is not groundless, so I couldn't help laughing bitterly, and said: "My lord, it is the order of a saint, not an official command." As he spoke, he took out a sealed letter The letter was carefully handed to Wang Xiu.

Wang Xiu took the secret letter and looked carefully at the wax paint and the surroundings, but found no trace of dismantling. While removing the wax paint, she asked in doubt: "The captives besieged the city like an iron barrel, how did Chief Zhang get out?"

"The captives were low on Kaifeng, and the sage ordered the villain to leave the city with a secret letter, saying that once the city was besieged, he would quickly search for the adults. Oh, the captives did not completely besiege Kaifeng, but the outer city was lost, so the communication between inside and outside was lost."

"It's an extraordinary time, and I hope the chief will forgive me." Wang Xiu nodded, his gaze gradually became gentle, and he didn't look at it first when he returned to his seat.

Zhang Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The adults are joking, but the villain is obedient to follow orders."

"Although it's her duty, it's really admirable for the cabinet chief to stick to her heart. I wonder if she's okay?" Wang Xiu said in the last sentence, hesitating.

The corner of Zhang Quan's mouth twitched, that's the queen!The man in front of him had an affair with the empress. Hearing Qingjun's vague tone, he was probably the empress's first man. Thinking about it made him feel cold, and he walked a tightrope for several years.

Now is not the time to think wildly, he hastily stabilized his mind, and said softly: "The sage has never spoken to the lord, last time I asked the official to grant the lord the favor, but the official seems to be a bit prejudiced."

"Well, I didn't expect that either." Wang Xiu was sad in his heart. He had always wanted to avoid Zhu Lian, and even knowing her fate, he still decided not to move. Thinking about it, his heart trembled. Could it be that he had really changed, become hypocritical and deceitful? Heart of stone?
He looked at Zhang Quan with complicated eyes, trying not to think about it, not to shake his persistence, and slowly opened the letter to read.At this moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, his face suddenly turned pale, and his whole body trembled violently.

Zhang Quan didn't expect Wang Xiu to lose his composure, he panicked and hurriedly said loudly: "My lord, my lord."
