Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

After three rounds of drinking, these men from the Jin Kingdom gradually relaxed their vigilance and alertness.

They started talking loudly, laughing and giving orders with fist pumps, as if they had forgotten the true purpose and mission of their trip.

Zhao Yingluo couldn't help but feel happy when she saw this scene. She knew the opportunity had come!
She left her seat on the pretext of going for a convenience, and secretly signaled Jiang Laosi and others to get ready.

Then she quietly walked around to the back of the carriage to check Wanyanyan's condition.

Wanyanyan was seen being tied up tightly and unable to move, but she was still conscious. When she saw Zhao Yingluo, a hint of surprise and expectation flashed in her eyes.

Zhao Yingluo smiled at her and told her not to be afraid, and quickly untied the rope from her body.

After Wanyanyan was liberated, she immediately jumped off the carriage to join Zhao Yingluo.

After rescuing Wanyan Yan, Zhao Yingluo made a quick decision.

"General Yue, surround this restaurant immediately and don't let anyone go!" Yue Fei nodded and immediately led his soldiers to surround the restaurant.

Before those Jin men could react, they were captured one by one by the Song army.

After being tied up, the leading man with a scar on his face still stared at Zhao Yingluo fiercely. His words were full of threats and hostility, and he said viciously: "How dare you be so rude! The Kingdom of Jin will not let her go." It’s your fault!”

Zhao Yingluo heard this and sneered, "What is the Kingdom of Jin? If you want to kidnap people in the territory of the Song Dynasty, do you pretend that the laws of the Song Dynasty do not exist? What you did today has violated the laws of the Song Dynasty. You can't get away easily!"

Later, Zhao Yingluo ordered Yue Fei to take the people away for rigorous interrogation, and they must find out the true purpose of their trip and the mastermind behind them.

Yue Fei followed the order and left, while Zhao Yingluo directly took Wanyanyan back to her temporary residence in Xingzhou.

After returning to the mansion, Zhao Yingluo asked Wanyanyan to rest first, while she sat in the study and meditated.

She knew that this incident was not a simple kidnapping case, but that there must be more complex political entanglements behind it.

After Wanyan Yan was rescued by her lover, she fell in love with Zhao Yingluo even more.

Looking at Zhao Yingluo's profile, she felt that this young man was handsome and extraordinary, and her heart couldn't help but have ripples in her heart. Her eyebrows were full of affection, as if she wanted to pour out all her feelings.

However, Zhao Yingluo felt her head was as big as a bucket.

Although she felt sympathy for Wan Yanyan's experience, she also knew that this woman was a hot potato. She didn't know how to deal with this thorny issue, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

As night fell, there was silence in the mansion.

Zhao Yingluo sat alone in the study, but the thoughts in her heart were surging like waves.

She thought of what happened during the day and Wanyanyan's loving gaze, and couldn't help but feel a sense of irritability and helplessness in her heart.

Just then, a gentle knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

Zhao Yingluo frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who?" Jiang Laosi's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, it's me."

Zhao Yingluo breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door to let Jiang Laosi in.

As soon as Jiang Laosi entered the door, he said eagerly: "Your Highness, those Jin people have confessed! They said they were ordered by Wanyan Zonghan to kidnap Wanyan Yan. The purpose was to get Wanyan Yan to marry Tubo and unite with Tubo. Put pressure on the Song Dynasty."

He spoke quickly and urgently, as if he was afraid of missing any important information.

Zhao Yingluo was shocked when she heard this, and secretly said as expected, "What else did they say?"

Jiang Laosi shook his head and said: "They don't know much, they just follow orders. However, it can be inferred from their confessions that although Wanyan Zonghan is temporarily dormant, he will be detrimental to the Song Dynasty sooner or later."

After hearing this, Zhao Yingluo felt no emotion in her heart. Wanyan Zonghan was a tycoon, how could he keep bowing to the Song Dynasty? She knew that this incident was not only related to Wanyanyan's safety, but also involved the political dispute between the two countries. and interests entanglements. At this moment, soft footsteps came, and Wanyanyan walked into the study carrying a bowl of ginseng tea.

When she saw Zhao Yingluo and Jiang Laosi discussing something, she said softly: "You guys talk first, I won't disturb you anymore." She turned and left.

Zhao Yingluo stopped her and said, "Miss Wanyan, please stay. Since you are already here, let's listen together."

As she spoke, she pointed to the chair next to her and motioned for Wanyanyan to sit down.

After Wanyan Yan sat down as instructed, Zhao Yingluo repeated what Jiang Laosi had just said to her.

Wanyanyan was also shocked after hearing this: "My brother...how could he do such a thing?" Her voice was full of disbelief and pain.

Zhao Yingluo sighed softly and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Miss Wanyan, what are you going to do now?" She looked into Wanyanyan's eyes and asked.

Wan Yanyan stood up and stood in front of Zhao Yingluo, with a bit of shyness and determination on her face.

She took a deep breath, finally plucked up the courage, and said softly: "Mr. Zhao, I left the palace privately and came to Xingzhou for two reasons."

As she spoke, she raised her head and glanced at Zhao Yingluo. Seeing that the other party was listening carefully, she continued, "First, I got the news that my brother was going to force me to marry far away from Tibet. I didn't want to and wanted to escape from the marriage. ; Secondly, it’s because I...I like you, so I want to come to Da Song to find you."

When Zhao Yingluo heard this, her heart moved slightly.

She looked at Wan Yanyan's shy yet determined expression and knew that what the other party said was true.

Wanyan Yan's words also reminded her of Jiang Laosi's previous report, saying that Wanyan Zonghan intended to marry Tubo in order to put pressure on the Song Dynasty.

Now it seems that this matter is almost the same.

Zhao Yingluo had an idea in her mind.

She knew that since Wanyan Zonghan wanted to contact Tubo to cause trouble, she would not let him get his way.

As for the Wanyanyan in front of her, since she likes him and is unwilling to marry far away from Tubo, it would be better to abduct her to Kaifeng.

In this way, Wanyan Yan can be saved and she can avoid the fate of being forced to marry in Tibet; on the other hand, it can also ruin Wanyan Zonghan's marriage plan and thwart his conspiracy.

After making up her mind, Zhao Yingluo asked Wanyan Yan, "Miss Wanyan, what are your plans next?"

She looked into Wan Yanyan's eyes, wanting to confirm her suspicion from the other party's answer.

When Wanyanyan heard this, she lowered her head slightly, with a blush on her face.

She hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I...I will never go back to Yanjing. I want to go to Kaifeng with you."

After saying this, her face turned even redder, as if she could bleed.

Zhao Yingluo was speechless when she heard this.

She didn't expect Wanyanyan to express her feelings so directly, nor did she expect that the other party would be willing to follow her to Kaifeng.

But this way, it saves me a lot of trouble. It's just...she couldn't help but feel a little funny and helpless when she looked at Wan Yanyan's shy yet expectant expression.

Seeing that Zhao Yingluo was slightly embarrassed, Wanyan Yan quickly made an excuse for her and said: "Um... Mr. Zhao, I mean to go to Kaifeng to find my brother Wanyan Zongyi. He is also there, isn't he? We can go to see him together. .”

By the end, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
