Chapter 301 for the Rance

It's late at night.

In the Penglai Hall of Luoyang Palace, there are many lights inside and outside, and there is a group of nervous killing. Several imperial doctors filed in and out at the gate, and each of them did not say a word. The official Zhao Huan took the queen and the prince to the outside of the hall and guarded them with Meng De, Bai Xun and others.

Everyone's expression was very solemn, and no one said a word casually.

At this moment, Zhao Huan's mood is the most complicated. In terms of personal feelings, no king is willing to be a puppet and wants his king's power to be divided; Zhao Huan is the person who has the most reason to hate Chu Tianya in the world. If Chu Tianya is dead, Zhao Huan will dance and laugh.

But objectively speaking, Zhao Huan felt that he could not hate Chu Tianya. If it hadn't been for Chu Tianya's efforts to defeat Jin Bing many times in Taiyuan and Tokyo, Zhao Huan didn't know where he was now and whether he could sit on the dragon chair in this dragon robe. In addition, the previous departure of Taishang Emperor and King Kang Zhao Gu formed an extremely sharp contrast with Chu Tianya's welcome to Xixing. In getting along with each other, Chu Tianya also intended to take care of his dignity as an official from time to time, and did not make any rebellious actions.

After so many days of getting along, Zhao Huan has a clear position for Chu Tianya in his heart: he is a powerful minister, but he is not a traitor who harms the country and the people; he is a hero of chaos, but he is also a hero who saves this country and the nation!

If Chu Tianya is really poisoned and died now... Zhao Huan is on his own mind that he is completely unable to control the current court and all the troops, and is even more unable to deal with the current turbulent foreign diplomacy. It is even possible that only as soon as the news of Chu Tianya's death comes out, Hangzhou will immediately build its own court to protest. At that time, the whole body will be moved. I don't know how many anti-kings have emerged from all over the world. Jin and Xixia, who are staring at the outside, will inevitably invade during the civil strife of the Song Dynasty...

At that time, it will be really a disaster!

For the first time, Zhao Huan felt that he needed Chu Tianya, a person who made him scold in his sleep; the social and people of the Song Dynasty were so dependent on this discredited hero!

"Chu Aiqing, you must be lucky and safe and sound!" Zhao Huan was whispering, asking God to worship the Buddha.

His queen was also smart. Hearing the official's words, she simply pulled the prince to kneel down in front of the big incense burner in front of the Penglai Hall. She knelt down and worshipped the Buddha, begging them to bless the king of Luoyang.

Meng De, Bai Xie and others looked at it and were silent. Whether the queen and the prince are sincere or hypocritical, Zhao Huan, an official, has always performed well. Although Meng De and others did not like this weak and incompetent Song official, they were not disgusted. In private, Zhao Huan is a gentle, erudite and diligent person.

Time passes slowly, and every minute and every second is like suffering. At present, the saddest and most nervous thing is Zhao Huan and others and those unknown old brothers of the Jin army. At this moment, seeing those restless and brave sergeants, Zhao Huan's worry in his heart is another layer - in case Chu Tianya really has an accident. In order to avenge their lord, these fierce soldiers who lick blood can't find the murderer. Why don't they all kill innocent people and turn the whole Luoyang Palace into a nose hell?

"Meng, Meng Aiqing..." Zhao Huan said nervously, "Why don't you go in and visit him once? Is the King of Luoyang all right?"

"Weichen dare not go in." Meng De replied coldly, "If you are frightened by the imperial doctor who diagnosed the disease because of Weichen's recklessness, you miss the condition of the Luoyang King. Even if Weichen has ten heads, it's not enough to cut by himself.

Zhao Huan was so scared that he shivered all over. He forced a smile and said, "The king of Luoyang is lucky, and he will definitely be fine... Well, these sergeants who followed the south of the king of Luoyang all the way from Taiyuan are really heroic and powerful!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Weichen will restrain them." Meng De knew what he was worried about and answered impatiently.

"Well, that's good, that's good..." Zhao Huan was wiping cold sweat.

At this time, Xiao Linglong slowly came out behind a group of royal doctors. Seeing that her face was pale and dark, most people blocked her heart fiercely.

"Princess, how is the king of Luoyang?" Zhao Huan almost rushed forward to ask.

Xiao Linglong frowned and shook her head gently, "All the royal doctors can't detect it. What kind of poison is the king of Luoyang? Naturally, there is no way to solve it.

"Ah?!" Zhao Huan screamed, and his hands and feet panicked, "What should I do?"

Meng De strode forward, "Can't you be a nobleman?"

Xiao Linglong's tears reached her eyes. She resisted strongly and shook her head gently. "She has cried until she fainted."

"Ah - my God!" Zhao Huan was completely panicked. He raised his arms and roared to the sky. He also knelt on the ground and cried, "Please, save the King of Luoyang!" My country can't live without him, thousands of people of the Song Dynasty, and can't live without him!!!"

This great pain comes from the bottom of my heart, but it doesn't seem to be a fake. Zhao Huan's call shocked many people. Many helpless imperial doctors present were so scared that they first knelt down and kowtowed together. When the Jin army sergeants who were close to the garrison heard it, they almost blew up on the spot and rushed into the Penglai Hall and rushed to the sickbed of Chu Tianya to see what happened.

"Who dares to move!!!" Meng De roared, and all the sergeants resisted the shock and sadness in their hearts and returned to their posts.

Bai Xun hurriedly pulled the official Zhao Huan up from the ground and whispered, "The official should not do this, otherwise it will be easy to change."

Zhao Huan was clever all over his body and thought, yes, in case the people outside know that the King of Luoyang is hopeless, then the world will be in chaos and the invasion of foreign enemies?

So Zhao Huan hurriedly pulled up the queen and the prince, and issued an edict on the spot to strictly block all the news of the Penglai Hall; if there is any leakage, there will be no mercy!

"Now it seems that if you want to save the King of Luoyang, you can only start from the poisoner." Bai Xun frowned and said, "Princess, what do you think?"

Xiao Linglong's expression was serious. She nodded gently, "But she didn't admit that she poisoned it."

"Give it to me!" Meng De snorted.

Everyone's expression changed, and the string in their hearts tightened. Everyone knows that Xiao Ta Buyan is the queen and envoy of the State of Liao, as well as Xiao Linglong's own sister. It is reasonable to hand over Xiao Linglong to him for an antidote; but if it is handed over to Meng De, the black-faced Yan Jun, it is another matter.

So, everyone's eyes condensed on Xiao Linglong's face.

She looked embarrassed, but finally nodded decisively, "There is Brother Lao Qi!"

Meng De strode away without saying a word and went straight to the place where Xiaota was imprisoned.

"The princess is pregnant. Don't be too nervous. It's better to have a rest first. Let Bai handle the rest of the matter!" Bai Shu said carefully.

"No need. I must go back to accompany the king of Luoyang. Xiao Linglong said very firmly, "If he is well, I won't live - it's good to have a labor soldier to accompany the official!"

"Okay..." Bai Xun didn't say much and saw Xiao Linglong go back to Penglai Hall.

Later, Bai Xi also sent the official family and the queen back to the palace to rest. Here in the Penglai Hall, only Anu led the soldiers to guard it.

Soon, there were bursts of creepy female screams from the cell, which spread so far away in this quiet and depressing night that almost even the sergeant of Penglai Hall heard it. No need to guess, it must be Meng De who was severely tortured against Xiao Ta and forced him to inquire about the whereabouts of the antidote.

All the people who stay in Luoyang Palace tonight are tense and depressed. When such a big thing happened, it's like going away; next, I don't know what's going to happen.

The most restless are the envoys of Xixia and Jin. The first powerful minister of the Song Dynasty was suddenly poisoned, and his life and death were uncertain. If he is rescued, the situation will stabilize in an instant; on the contrary... that is the beginning of a chaos in the world!

Wanyan Valley God cut his hands and looked at the ink sky outside the window, thinking quickly. It's not that he hasn't doubted everything that has happened so that it's just a set-up. But thinking left and right, Gu Shen really couldn't figure out where the flaw was. Moreover, at present, in an extraordinary period, if Chu Tianya suddenly falls, it will be extremely detrimental to the foreign diplomacy of the Song Dynasty. The court of the Song Dynasty will once stagnate, and the army may also appear headless, which may lead to the division of the north and south of the Song Dynasty, triggering a huge civil strife.

After thinking about it, Gu Shen felt that today's emergency was not fake, but real! - Chu Tianya, he can't afford to take these risks!

Immediately made a decision, Gu Shen thought that the most important thing now was to quickly find out the situation in Penglai Hall and find out the life and death or illness of Chu Tianya. Moreover, at all costs, I will send the information here to Wanyan Zonghan on the north bank of the Yellow River!

If Chu Tianya's poisoning is true, and if he eventually dies of poison, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity to completely turn the table. Luoyang was in chaos, and the headless army in the Song Dynasty was chaotic. Moreover, the two countries have just signed a peace treaty, and the troops of the Song Dynasty have gone to Hebei to take over the state and county. The outside world is not aware of what happened in Luoyang Palace; this will cause the Song army along the Yellow River and around Hebei to neglect prevention. If Zong Han kills him at this time, he will be very sure to completely destroy Luoyang and the Song Dynasty.

"God help me too!" Wanyan Gushen took a deep breath, and a groping smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, the envoys of Xixia are almost thinking about the same thing as Wanyan Valley God. If Chu Tianya was killed at this time, then the Song Dynasty would stay for a long time. If the State of Jin takes advantage of this time to go south to defeat Luoyang and destroy the Song Dynasty, there will be a great winning rate.

If the Song Dynasty dies, it will definitely be the turn of the Western Xia Kingdom on the verge of the Song Dynasty!

When the envoys of Xixia think of this, their thoughts are almost the same as that of Zhao Huan - Chu Tianya, you can die whenever you want, but don't die at this time! If you want to die, you should also fight with Wanyan Zonghan first, and lose most of the soldiers and horses before you die. That's the best. What's the matter with you dying now? Isn't that going to drag the whole Song Dynasty and our Xixia Kingdom to be buried together?!

Xixia's envoy was really in a hurry. Their people also touched the Penglai Hall to inquire about the condition of the King of Luoyang, but they were mercilessly blocked by the sergeant Hu Ben, who guarded here. At this time, they heard the screams from Xiaota, which was creepy.

The Xixia people, who are not too stupid, can probably be sure at this time that this poison is really from Xiaota. Because Xixia people are quite clear about Xiaota's intention to come here, one of her important tasks is to kill Chu Tianya and plunge the Song Dynasty into chaos. Thinking of these Xixia envoys, they almost blew up their lungs, and they kept scolding Xiao Ta in their hearts - you stupid woman, it's not the time to murder Chu Tianya! If the previous assassination failed, it was time to take the second move to instigate a full-scale battle between the Song Dynasty and Jude. Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When both of them are injured, we will sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now, we have obviously reached the second move, but you stupid woman is still playing the first step! ...It's so annoying!

At this moment, I'm afraid that the people who want to kill Xiaota most are not the sergeants of the Jin army who want to avenge the lord, but the envoys of Xixia.

......

Outside the Penglai Hall, the Luoyang Palace is all in a mess. No one can sleep peacefully.

But in the Penglai Hall, Chu Tianya was sleeping soundly. Beside him, there is also a beautiful woman with a hot figure, a noble man.

Both of them snored rhythmically and slightly together. The rosefinch disguised as Xiao Linglong and Taiyin and Taichang clearly stood outside the bed of Chu Tianya, and their eyes did not blink much. In the bedroom of Penglai Hall, all eight green guards except Uncle He were present and waited together.

Such a formation can protect the needle that can't be inserted into the water, and the flies will have to break into eight petals when flying in.

Therefore, Chu Tianya slept soundly. He has been really tired at the wedding banquet in recent days. In addition, he has just been thrown down on the bed by a nobleman and his bones almost fell out, and his snoring gradually became louder.

The nobleman who had just fallen asleep was woken up by him and narrowed her eyes. She kissed Chu Tianya's face and continued to lie in his arms and sleep like a lazy cat.

The rosefinch standing against the door outside the bedroom couldn't help smiling and was just seen by Xuanwu, who was patrolling back and forth.

"What are you laughing at alone?" Xuanwu stepped forward and asked.

"I laughed because I thought it was interesting." The rosefinch without a mask smiled slightly, and Xuanwu, who had always been cold in his heart, suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

He frowned gently, "You are more attractive than you were back then."

"Is it because my current appearance is more like her?" The rosefinch said indifferently.

Xuanwu smiled a rare smile, "I don't know what others think of you; in the hearts of us Qingwei, you are a rosefinch, irreplaceable and unique. You have nothing to do with her."

"Yes." The rosefinch answered plausally and said, "Why don't you ask? Why do I think it's interesting?"

"If you want to say it, you will naturally say it." Xuanwu, "If you don't want to say it, the lord can't let you open your mouth. Then why should I ask?"

"I'm still used to the virtue that you don't say two words for three days. As soon as you open your mouth, you will not only chew words but also talk nonsense. The rosefinch smiled easily and said, "A man's mind moved, and his upper and lower lips touched and knocked. Countless people fell crazy or collapsed for it, and the whole world danced for it. At this time, the man who was the flower of the bridal chamber enjoyed the spring with another beautiful woman who was not the bride, and then slept soundly - don't you think it's interesting?

"I don't think so." After saying this, Xuanwu curled his lips and said, "It's more interesting to patrol."

"Chatting with you is really the stupidest decision I have made in my life." The rosefinch is really speechless.

It's dawn.

Chu Tianya woke up, and the nobleman was still sleeping on him. He couldn't wake up or push him away. In desperation, Chu Tianya had to kick her away, and then got up and dressed herself. The nobleman was kicked before he opened one eye and glanced at Chu Tianya with resentment, hummed sullenly, and then continued to sleep.

The rosefinch heard the movement in the room before he walked in.

"Flying Fox, how is it going outside now?" Chu Tianya asked subconsciously while dressing.

"Lord, I'm a rosefinch." The rosefinch answered.

Chu Tianya was slightly stunned and then smiled, "I'm sorry, I lost my mind for a moment. You are so much like her... Well, how's it going outside?"

"Meng De tortured Xiaota for the whole night. It is estimated that all the people in Luoyang Palace know about it now." The rosefinch replied, "It is reasonable to say that even if Xiaota does not die, there should be only half of his life left. Later, Meng De will openly drag Xiaota Budan out and show it to the public to use it to force the antidote as much as possible to the other Western Liaoqidan people and all the guests and envoys.

"I still remember the scene when you and your nobles and Xuanwu just entered Qixing Village. At that time, you were a slave chained. Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Well, you must be good at making up forging scars, right?"

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have already used this method once on Xiaota's body." The rosefinch replied, "Now she is like a crippled and half-dead person. Whoever sees it will be shocked.

"That's good." Chu Tianya nodded thoughtfully, "What's going on between Xixia people and Jin people?"

"There is no movement on the other side of Wanyan Valley God." The rosefinch replied, "The Xixia people are very anxious to know the situation of the master."

"That's right." Chu Tianya Zhizhu smiled and said, "The golden people don't dare to act rashly. They are afraid that the suspicion of poisoning will fall on them. They are watching. They will definitely wait for the opportunity to move and send the news to Wanyan Zonghan as much as possible. Xixia people are really worried that something will happen to me. If I die, the Song Dynasty is in crisis, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, and the Xixia people are not much better - you must grasp the scale and let them believe as much as possible that I am poisoned and difficult to cure, and my life will not be long. If they want to send messages outside, stop them as much as possible, but don't block them completely - leave them such a line, so that it's very difficult for them to succeed, which is realistic!"

"Yes, I know what to do." The rosefinch held his fist to respond.

Chu Tianya sighed gently, "Only when this is said from your mouth can I really rest assured."

The rosefinch smiled slightly, which was a reply. Her expression and eyes showed rare warmth and softness. Although it is only fleeting, it is enough to convey all the emotions in her heart to Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya stared at her and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"I should thank you." The rosefinch smiled lightly, "Anyway, you made me feel like a bride. This feeling is really wonderful. Although this is not my wedding, I am already very satisfied.

"What did you say there in the early morning?" The nobleman lying next to the couch wrapped in a quilt and shouted in a daze, "Lord, come and give me a hug! Let's sleep a little longer!"

"This guy will always be a child who doesn't grow up!" Chu Tianya smiled bitterly and then said to the rosefinch, "It's hard for you to continue to play her today. Remember, I'm almost a dying person now, and there is only a trace of breath left. How you behave in front of outsiders depends on your performance. In addition... Is there anything strange about Bai Shu?

Speaking of Bai Xi, the rosefinch's eyebrows bounced slightly, "The military division did not do anything strange. But his subordinates feel that he is particularly close to the official family, the queen, the prince and others. That kind of intimacy doesn't seem to be pretended... but from the heart.

Chu Tianya smiled with a deep smile and nodded, "You can know this matter in your heart. You don't have to say it to any outsider. Keep an eye on him for me!"

"Yes."
