Not long after, the horse team that went back to chase Jingniang came back and caught up with Zhao Kuangyin and others.

Shi Shouxince immediately stepped forward and said, "If I didn't catch up, the woman would run south from the edge of the city. We didn't dare to continue chasing, so we had to come back first."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and slapped his thigh and said depressedly: "If I had known this, I would have asked Zhao Pu to burn quickly! Everything was urgent before, but I didn't expect it to be lost, so I ignored it."

"Brother, what's in that bag?" Shi Shouxin asked.

Zhao Kuangyin: “…”

At this moment, suddenly, there was a "thump". When everyone looked back, they saw Zhao Pu falling down the horse, screaming in pain, pressing his hand on the upper thigh, and a large area of ​​his pants was soaked with blood.

Zhao Kuangyin and others hurriedly stopped the horse, turned around and came to Zhao Pu. He could not ride the horse in front of him. Zhao Pu was sweating profusely, raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, give me a sword!"

"What are you using weapons?" Zhao Kuangyin asked casually.

Zhao Pu said: "I can't leave anymore. Following my lord can only become a drag! My lord has the kindness of knowing me, so today I have to repay my kindness with my life."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin was very sad on his face, but he could not kill Zhao Pu to death in front of his brothers. It was not easy for everyone to be willing to run away with him, especially for this group of personal soldiers who came out. If he was too ruthless, he would be afraid that the hearts would be cold.

It was so sad that I was about to cry. While untiing my sword and throwing it on the ground, I sighed helplessly: "At this point, you can't leave. If you are caught, you will be worse than death. You have to do this."

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "The success is successful. I hope the lord will not forget the words of 'God will give a great mission'! Brother, I will prepare and set out first."

Zhao Kuangyin held his fists and bowed immediately, and walked away with tears.

The group ran along the road and stopped until dark. They did not dare to stay in the inn, and they did not happen to meet the inn after dark. In order to run fast, they naturally did not bring tents and other supplies to sleep in the open.

Fortunately, a dilapidated temple was found on the side of the road, and everyone settled in it.

Several brothers caught fire in a room with air leakage on all sides, and saw spider webs everywhere. A clay Buddha had been abandoned and no one had any questions, and there was no incense. Zhao Kuangyin sat down and breathed out, as if he had a nightmare for a moment.

In just one day, he was still a prominent figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the morning. Now... he saw a thick layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard outside the dilapidated temple, and there were still leaves floating in the sky. The autumn wind was chilling, and the scene in front of him was really a kind of indescribable desolation.

Zhao Kuangyin has been in the army since the Later Han Dynasty, and being a military general was his career. Although he was unknown in the early stage, he accumulated fame and connections. After the Battle of Gaoping, this accumulation was finally sublimated and he began to make a fortune... and then three or four years of hard work. He felt that he was well managed, and his strength and status expanded very quickly. This was the east wind that gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions by the Zhou Dynasty.

Long-term business is not worth a mistake!

"Oh." Zhao Kuangyin looked at the desolate scene outside, full of despair in the bleak autumn wind. But he was very unwilling to accept it. This failure can only be regarded as a mistake, and he is not as strong as others.

The crowd was depressed and very silent. Zhao Kuangyin recalled it before the fire, and increasingly felt that his career had reached its reach... Zhang Yongde's connections and management were not as good as Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin's military position was slightly lower, and he was only lower than Zhang Yongde.

If nothing unexpected happens, he just needs to persevere and walk to the top of the mountain. Who knows that two Cheng Yaojin will come out halfway and destroy everything!

At this moment, Shi Shouxin asked in a low voice: "If the people in the court can't catch us, they dare not touch our families?"

Zhao Kuangyin came back to his senses and nodded slightly and said, "It is so. If we were still outside, they killed our family. Since we could not get rid of the roots, they would only increase hatred, which was useless and seemed to have no tolerance... (Later) the king of the Han Dynasty who destroyed the entire family of Taizu of this dynasty was slaughtered, but failed to get rid of Taizu and the official family. What was the result?"

After hearing this, Shi Shouxin said, "It makes some sense. Now I can only think so, there is no way."

Wang Shenqi said: "Let's go straight to the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty)? What should we do in the future?"

"The matter is not over yet!" Zhao Kuangyin said coldly.

In this moment of failure, if Zhao Kuangyin was alone, it would be difficult for him to recover his emotions; but after chatting with his brothers, Zhao Kuangyin's attention was slightly changed and he did not feel the miserable. He suddenly realized something: he was only thirty years old!

It took more than three years to become famous in the Zhou Dynasty and less than four years, and there are still many opportunities at the age of thirty.

Zhao Pu's voice seemed to linger in his ears, "If God is going to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his will." Zhao Kuangyin looked back and said, "From today to reorganize the situation!"

"Brother?" Several people looked back at him together.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were filled with the brilliance of a bonfire, he clenched his fists and suddenly shouted: "No one can tell me to admit defeat!"

...The horse team that wanted to follow Zhao Kuangyin's troops, found Zhao Pu halfway and captured him.

Zhao Pu is not dead yet, and he has tied his thighs to stop the bleeding. He originally wanted to punish and apologize, but he is really unable to do anything. Anyway, both left and right are dead, so it is the same if they are killed by their opponents... What if they don't kill them?

Zhao Pu did not want to betray his lord, and he felt very uncomfortable if he failed, but he had no choice but to win or lose.

He has been making great efforts to make suggestions, and often imagined the situation after victory at night... During this period, he thought that Guo Shao's wife Fu Ermei was beautiful and might be able to taste it. At that time, Zhao Kuangyin would definitely have to kill Guo Shao. Fu Ermei, the widow left by the Guo family, was the daughter of the King of Wei of Hebei, and he must not be publicly humiliated. Zhao Pu had already thought of a solution and suggested that this woman was hiding evil hatred, and then forced her to become a monk and become house arrest. After being isolated from the world, she could do something quietly. After she had enough fun, she would be "deathed" and would be completely destroyed, and no one knew.

Alas, how could he not sincerely help Zhao Kuangyin?

But all these dreams turned into daydreams with failure. The reality was that he was reduced to prison. At this time, Zhao Pu had been taken to the imperial city and was taken into custody in the military camp of Xuanyou Gate. It was getting late, but I soon heard that Guo Shao had arrived overnight.

...Guo Shao walked in, there was an old man beside him. He glanced at Zhao Pu and turned around and said, "Doctor Wang, show him the injury, you can't die."

Zhao Pu didn't say anything. Guo Shao was in a good mood. He stepped forward and stroked his back, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, don't be afraid, take care of the injury first."

Zhao Pu was stunned when he heard this, but he still looked very scared. Perhaps Guo Shao's smile was not done well, which was a bit like a treacherous smile.

Guo Shao was in a good mood and felt relieved all over. Once Zhao Kuangyin ran away, the situation in Tokyo would soon be calmed down. It was a pity that he did not catch him. He was not sure that he was going to run away at the beginning, so he really didn't dare to transfer too many people, and the noise was too big, Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to run away even more trouble... Fortunately, he caught Zhao Pu, but it was a surprise given to him by Jingniang.

Zhao Pu is Zhao Kuangyin's confidant. He guessed that everything about the Zhao family was known. As long as he was good at making good use of it, he could play a great role. Zhao Kuangyin's body ran away, but he could be called "spiritual death". Guo Shao wanted to ruin him and never have the chance to turn over in the Zhou Dynasty again... Zhao Pu is the key figure that can be discovered.

Guo Shao took the package from Jingniang's hand, stepped back from the left and right, took out a ball of yellow stuff from it, and shook it suddenly! He was wearing a dragon robe and showed it.

Zhao Pu was shocked.

Guo Shao stepped forward and put the dragon robe on Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu was anxious and hurriedly pushed him and refused: "No! I don't wear it... What does General Guo mean?"

Guo Shao did not force him, but he kindly stroked him and said: "This thing was taken from you in public. If you capture the stolen goods, you will destroy all of you. Is it easy to kill the nine clans? Maybe you can kill the nine clans, and no one will speak for you. The mentors, classmates, neighbors, and distant relatives who teach you will all be killed!"

Zhao Pu's body trembled very hard.

"Of course, such an ending will not be good for me," said Guo Shao.

Zhao Pu hurriedly said: "General Guo, what are you going to do? As long as you can."

After hearing this, Guo Shao was very satisfied. He handed the yellow robe in his hand to Jingniang, sat down on a chair, and said, "Mr. Zhao often entered Zhao Kuangyin's mansion. I heard that he often stayed in Zhao's mansion, and he was his close adviser in front of him. He must know a lot about Zhao's mansion. In this way, think about it first, I will send Jingniang over tomorrow, how about you tell Jingniang?"

Zhao Pu said helplessly, "I think about it and explain the things I can recall clearly."

After hearing this, Guo Shao nodded with satisfaction, and went out with Jing Niang. When he saw the imperial doctor, he said, "I'll bother Doctor Wang to heal his wounds."

The imperial doctor hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, General Guo. I heard that it was a sword injury, and the sharp weapon was injured in my thighs. It was the best way to prevent death from excessive blood loss. I just took a look and found that the man could still speak after stopping the blood, and it was not a big deal."

After hearing this, Guo Shao was very happy, so he bid farewell to leave Xuanyou Gate.

Once Zhao Kuangyin ran away and "blame" him again, the situation in Tokyo was completely controlled. The forces of the Palace Front Office and the Guard Office were divided. No one except Zhao Kuangyin could have the influence to organize too many soldiers and horses to resist the center... Only Zhang Yongde had the highest prestige, but he seemed to have no ambitions. He lacked management in the high position of the imperial guard for many years and did not specifically insert his confidant.

Guo Shao asked: "Did Privy Councilor Wang Pu write a letter to Zhang Yongde? Has Zhang Yongde entered the imperial city?"

The main ones were Jing Niang, Lu Chengyong, and Luo Mengzi. They all said they had never heard of it. Luo Mengzi said, "I haven't seen any general come into the palace anyway."

Guo Shao looked up at the night sky, and the stars were covered with the sky, pondering for a moment: "Wang Pu and Wei Renpu should live in the Privy Council and never came home at night. The third brother sent someone to ask about that matter, if Zhang Yongde had been there."
