Fu Song

Chapter 299
The main hall of King Jing's Mansion.

Outside the gate, the soldiers who rushed over looked at the gate and sighed.

Because the fire had completely closed the door, the flames soaring into the sky sprayed all the way to the beams of the roof, which made it completely become a huge torch.

Concubine Jing, who was dressed in fine attire, sat upright in the main hall, leaning on the back of the chair with both hands, as graceful and luxurious as usual, with a calm expression.

But in front of her, many people fell in disorder on the ground.

All women, children.

They are the concubines of King Jing, the children of King Jing.

A childish face of a girl who was at most ten years old facing outwards was full of pain, and traces of blood could be seen in the corners of her mouth and nose.

These people all died of taking poison.

The fire grew bigger and bigger until it completely blocked everyone's sight.

The eunuch Quan Hui from the palace watched this scene in horror. He was originally ordered to rush to King Jing's mansion to capture King Jing's family members.

Never expected to see this scene.

It is said that Concubine Jing has the same temperament as King Jing, they would rather bend than bend, and would rather die than humiliate their character, I have seen it today.

In fact, even if King Jing rebelled, he himself would not die.

The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and children should be filial to their parents, but in turn, parents also need to show love for their children.

With the temperament of the current official, how could there be a description of killing his own son in the history books?
The most likely thing for King Jing who failed was to be exiled to a beautiful temple in the south of the Yangtze River to read scriptures and copy scriptures, and he would never be able to step out of the temple for the rest of his life.

He can still live with his family.

Although the prosperity and wealth are not there, although they will be poorer, it is only compared to his past life. To be honest, even at this point, their life is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Quan Hui is in charge of dealing with these matters. There are quite a few royal bloodlines who recite scriptures in the [-] temples in the south of the Yangtze River!
Unexpectedly, King Jing burned himself to death with a fire.

Now, Concubine Jing is a torch to King Jing's woman, and all her children are taken away.

As for the female doll with the face facing outward, Quan Hui also recognized it.

It was born to one of King Jing's concubines, she was clever and smart, and her slick mouth was the most flattering, and even the officials admired her very much, but now, she no longer looks good.

It's not a family, really don't enter a family!
Dead, all dead!
At the moment when the door was sealed by the fire, Quan Hui still counted the people in the room on tiptoe.

I don't know what method the King Jing's Mansion used. The fire is so big that it is impossible to save it. Now, we have to wait until the fire is completely extinguished before going to count it.

But what can be counted at that time, can not be sure.

In an unremarkable small room in the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion, Wang Zhu's eyes widened, and he tightly covered a child's mouth to keep him from crying.

The child's tears fell on Wang Zhu's hand like broken beads.

His name is Zhao Sa.

He is only seven years old this year, the youngest son of King Jing.

In that hall, there was also a corpse about the same size as him.

After Wang Zhu sent back the news of the failure, Princess Jing handed the child into Wang Zhu's hands.

"Send him to Xiao Changqing." Concubine Jing handed it to Wang Zhu, along with the child's jade plate, some documents, and even a letter written by Concubine Jing.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there was the sound of someone approaching here. Wang Zhu wiped away the tears on his face, carried the seven-year-old Zhao Sa on his back, tied him tightly, and opened the door. There is a stone slab inside, and under the stone slab is a tunnel, which leads to the labyrinth-like underground waterways in Bianliang City.

Standing in the tunnel, with a strong stench coming from his nostrils, Wang Zhu carefully covered the stone slabs, and then he walked away step by step towards the distance, dripping the sewage up to his calf.

On the street full of corpses, Qin Min struggled to get up from the ground while supporting the knife. Opposite him, Wanyan Starling was also struggling to get up with his hands on the ground.

Wanyan Starling's injury was more serious than Qin Min's.

A knife was stabbed in the stomach, even with the protection of the armor, Wanyan Starling immediately lost his fighting power after this knife.

It's not because Wanyan Bage is much worse than Qin Min.

It was because at the last moment, Qin Min suddenly seemed possessed by ghosts and gods, and his strength suddenly increased, and Qin Min was severely injured at once. Completely lost consciousness.

Brother Wanyan didn't know that when the two of them were fighting at a critical moment, Qin Min saw the fire rising into the sky from the direction of the inner city, and saw the billowing thick smoke.

He knew it was a failure.

All the painstaking efforts have all failed.

King Jing's failure meant that he, Qin Min, would no longer have the chance to avenge his father and clear up his grievances, and it also meant the final fate of the remaining border soldiers.

He was filled with grief and indignation.

He's going crazy.

He no longer has the slightest scruples about his own life.

He launched a crazy attack on Wanyan Starling.

Recruiting kills.

Tricks don't want your own life.

Wanyan Starling is different.

He had no intention of working his life for Emperor Song.

He chased Qin Min only because this guy killed too many of his subordinates in Baigouyi, and even made him almost die in Jumahe.

Besides, Qin Min has nothing to worry about, he is still the head of a department.Seeing that Yelujun is promoted step by step, he is only one step away from becoming the great emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and as a loyal follower of him, he will definitely be rewarded generously, so of course he has no intention of fighting desperately with him.

It's a pity that the more you don't want to die, the more death wants to chase you.

Seeing Qin Min with a ferocious face coming towards him with a knife, Wanyan Bage struggled desperately for a few times, but was finally unable to get up, let alone lift the knife, he gave up struggling with a long sigh, and stared at him as he walked towards him. Qin Min is here.

There was a sound of arrows in the air.

With a sound of ding, Qin Min swung his knife and sent a sharp arrow flying, and then cast a bitter glance at the horsemen and horses galloping not far away, then turned around abruptly, dragged a wounded leg, and turned around the street corner.

When the knights arrived, Qin Min had already disappeared.

Zhou He stood on the roof of a private house, staring at the flames and thick smoke rising from the direction of the inner city, and then turned his head to look at the same scene in the direction of King Jing's Mansion, and tears rolled down unconsciously.

After standing on the roof for a long time, he turned around and went downstairs, walked out of the house, walked along a small alley, and walked to the place he had visited many times during this period.

At this moment, although Bianliang City has fallen into an unprecedented situation, all the troops have basically gone to the inner city to encircle and suppress the rebels, and the few remaining people can only stick to the traffic arteries and various city gates. This put Bianliang City in an extremely strange state.

Every household closed the doors and windows tightly, and I don't know how many people were hiding under the beds and shivering.

Zhou He went straight to the back door of a house, stretched out his hand and pushed it, the door opened in response to the sound, and he walked inside familiarly.

Two burly men stood guard at the stairs and nodded when they saw Zhou He coming in.

Zhou He climbed up the stairs, and immediately saw Lin Ping sitting by the window, leaning on the railing and tasting wine.

Sipping a sip of wine, Lin Ping waved at Zhou He and said, "Come on, come and see this rare sight."

"I've already seen it, and it's been a long time!" Zhou He walked over step by step.

"It seems that King Jing has already failed." Lin Ping said with a smile: "Well, Zhang Chao's appeal in the army is quite amazing. This person's martial arts level is also the top choice. If you go south, it would be best if this person can be eliminated as soon as possible. Once Zhao Zhe leaves, this person will almost be the last guy in Song Kingdom who has extremely high attainments in both strategy and tactics."

"You forgot that there is Xiao Zhangqing from the Western Army!" Zhou He said.

"Hey, Xiao Zhangqing, after this incident, he may not be our enemy, maybe he will be our friend in the future!" Lin Ping said with a smile: "Come, come, have a drink, this time, you are also standing up!" Great merit, without you, how could these thousands of frontier troops come to Bianliang? Without your connection, how could people like Tao Datong gather around King Jing and destroy King Jing's ambition?"

Zhou He looked sadly at the thick smoke in the distance: "I thought His Royal Highness King Jing would win."

Lin Ping turned his head and looked at Zhou He: "You have kept a lot of things from me, for example, those people you sent to assassinate Zhang Chao. They almost succeeded. Zhou He, can you sue me? , What are you using? It has such a great power? Even the county king was seriously injured?"

A smile appeared on Zhou He's face, "Of course I got some of these things, Mr. Lin, look, this is it!"

Zhou He put his hand into his arms.

But what he took out was a shining dagger.

Under Lin Ping's astonished gaze, Zhou He swung his saber at Lin Ping, stabbing Lin Ping's chest fiercely.

"Dog thief, I will kill you!"

Lin Ping suddenly lay back flat.With a chirp, the knife cut open Lin Ping's clothes, revealing the inner skin. A red line ran from between the two breasts to the navel. Lin Ping was a little slow to react just now, and his belly had already been ripped open.

The other big man at the stairway was taken aback when he saw this, and rushed over with a roar.

Zhou He rubbed his body and slashed wildly with the dagger in his hand, screaming indiscriminately.

However, Lin Ping was no ordinary scholar. Since he had avoided the first blow, the rest basically had no effect on him. On the contrary, although Zhou He grew up in the army, he was an out-and-out scholar.

Lin Ping rolled to one side, lying on the ground without getting up, and swept Zhou He to the ground with a flick of his leg. Before Zhou He could get up, the big man who rushed over had already stabbed Zhou He hard. nailed to the floor.

Lin Ping stood up, straightened his clothes, and leaned over to look at Zhou He who was nailed to the floor.

"Why do you want to do this? We have succeeded. Next, you can follow me back to Daliao and reunite with your family. You are a smart person and capable. When you arrive in Daliao, it won't take long. Had a great time."

Zhou He coughed, and blood gushed out of his mouth, "I, I have no face to see my family, my children. Can I tell them that I got my glory and wealth by selling my brothers? My child, I can't lose my pride."

"With your death, your family will not have a good life!" Lin Ping raised his eyebrows and said. "Since you want to assassinate me today, after I go back, I can take revenge on them severely and make them treat themselves like cows and horses for the rest of their lives. Do you believe it or not?"

Zhou He blinked and looked at him, and said: "You won't, you are a proud person. I have done everything you asked me to do. Treating them well is the reward you should give me. As for today I'll kill you, that's another matter."

Lin Ping couldn't help laughing: "You're wrong, I'm not so magnanimous. But because you think highly of me, after I go back, I will reward your son as an official and tell me He, you were hacked to pieces by the emperor of the Song Kingdom! I have met your son. Although he is not very old, he is well educated and will be a good helper for me in the future."

Listening to Lin Ping's words, Zhou He's eyes gradually lost their luster.

Zhou He died. Looking at Zhou He's body, Lin Ping's face slowly lost his smile.

"This fool!" The big man pulled out the knife, wiped off the blood on Zhou He's body, put the knife back into its sheath, and shook his head, not understanding Zhou He.

"Do you look down on him?" Lin Ping breathed out.

The big man nodded: "A man should be clean and tidy when doing things. If he is so sloppy, it will make people anxious. Looking forward and backward, snakes and rats at both ends, no matter how good they are, they can't do anything."

"I understand him quite well." Lin Ping patted the big man on the shoulder: "You don't study, and sometimes you don't understand the minds of scholars. This person wants to be a loyal minister and a good son. A good husband, a good father, but the reality is unsatisfactory for him, so he can only choose one. He has to choose, but after that, his heart suffers."

The big man disagreed.

"General, in my opinion, this guy has betrayed both his brother and his family. He is useless. Does he think that the brother he betrayed will forgive him? If I were, I would never agree to him, Even in the underworld, he still drew his sword and beheaded him."

Lin Ping laughed: "You, it's typical of you to stand up and talk without back pain. If the matter didn't fall on me, anyone can say a few words with their chests straight and their necks straight. It's really immersive. I'm afraid to do it The choices made are similar. There is a saying that you should remember. Don’t persuade others to be kind when they are not suffering. Forget it. If you die, you will die. There is nothing to say. Get ready, we have to find an opportunity to go out of the city. Next, there will definitely be a big claim in the city, and it is not a good idea for our current identity to be discovered."

"It's just right to meet the county king." The big man nodded.
