Chapter 1656 Could the King of Liao Be so Stupid?

"People from Liaozhou?" This question was not asked by Leng Yi, but by Fu Zihan who walked out of the secret room holding a long knife.

Lu Yi glanced at Fu Zihan, then looked at his own marshal, nodded and said: "It is possible that Yang Qing is an old man of Baxiufang. He has been living in Qingzhou Prefecture after leaving the place for many years. The King of Liao has a close relationship with the owner of Baxiufang. Now someone has used the secret communication channel of Baxiufang through Yang Qing. It should be that someone from Liaozhou has arrived."

Leng Yi narrowed his black eyes, as if he was still speculating.

Lu Yi was puzzled: "Hasn't the Marshal been waiting for reinforcements from Liaozhou? How come..."

"Not quite right." Leng Yi frowned slightly: "I asked you to monitor Yang Qing because I really wanted to find out what was going on in Liaozhou, but this news should have come from outside, not from inside. Do you mean that the King of Liao may have arrived in Qingzhou? I don't think so. The situation in Qingzhou is delicate. That old fox will not do anything without benefits. Without benefits, he would not be so righteous and risk his life."

Lu Yi fell silent and said nothing.

Leng Yi asked after a while, "Is there any news from the Qin Mansion?"

Lu Yi shook his head, "Probably he also knew that the situation was dangerous, and Mr. Qin was very careful. He has not contacted those people during this period."

A month ago, Qingzhou Prefecture received a letter asking for help from the Haidong Army in Donghai. That day, Leng Yi happened to discuss government affairs with Fu Zichen, the new head of the Fu family who had succeeded the post of Qingzhou Governor. When they received the letter, regardless of whether it was true or false, they had decided to send someone to Donghai to take a look.

Donghai is a transportation fortress east of the two rivers. The Haidong Army was first established to deter neighboring countries in the east and guard the border. Later, its nature changed a little and became a surveillance of the Liao King in Liaozhou.

The Liao King was ambitious and had been eyeing the throne for many years. Emperor Qianling had a scheming mind and had issued a secret order earlier, asking the Haidong Army to guard against the Liao Army. This move was really effective, and the Liao King stationed his troops in Liaozhou, for fear of alerting the enemy and leaking military information.

The Haidong Army has not been able to find any evidence against the Liao King over the years. This is certainly not because the Liao King is innocent, but everyone knows that the Liao King is cunning and has three burrows, which is really difficult to deal with. Now, the Haidong Army is suddenly in trouble. It does not ask for help from the nearest Liaozhou and Fengzhou. After all, the relationship has always been bad, but it does not ask for help from the adjacent Nanzhou and Songzhou. Instead, it goes to the gate of Qingzhou instead of the nearby. This is a bit intriguing.

Leng Yi's first reaction was, has the Liao King integrated the four neighboring continents and is going to rebel? His movements were discovered by the Haidong Army, so the two sides fought a big battle, and the Haidong Army was outmatched and hurriedly asked for help.

As soon as this was said, it was denied by Fu Zichen.

Fu Zichen said: "The emperor and the crown prince are seriously ill, Rong Leng is missing, and the capital is leaderless. It is only supported by the seven princes. The Liao prince is resourceful. Since he knows that there is no one in the capital, even if he really wants to rebel, he can just take power again as a vassal king, wait for the emperor to die, suppress Rong Su, and proclaim himself emperor. Why does he need to start a war and start a rebellion? Moreover, once a war breaks out, the people will surely suffer greatly. If the Liao prince wants to ascend the throne naturally, why bother to bear the name of a rebel? There are obviously more Why did he choose this thankless path when there was no safe way? Could the King of Liao be so stupid? "

This makes sense. The King of Liao is the younger brother of the emperor and has the right to succeed to the throne. In the past, there was the emperor, the crown prince, and the third prince who was favored by all the old ministers. If the King of Liao wanted to take the throne from this group of people, he would have to resort to some crooked ways. But now, the emperor and the crown prince have been ill for three years and have long been incurable. They are only relying on ginseng to prolong their lives. Rong Leng was also reported missing, and even his tomb was built in the capital. The King of Liao is such a shrewd person. He has obviously gained a lot. At this time, is he kicked in the head by a donkey to come out to fight for no reason?

Fu Zichen talked with Leng Yi all night, and the next day he sent a team of thirty people to the East China Sea to see what was going on.

Until seven days later, none of the thirty-man team returned.

On the eighth day, a man escaped and came back in a shambles. He said that the Liao king was bloodthirsty and had captured Nanzhou and Songzhou. Now he was marching north. The next target was Qingzhou, the gateway to the capital and the guardian of the two rivers.

Leng Yi was shocked and stunned. He didn't even have time to judge that the only soldier who returned was a stranger.

Leng Yi immediately ordered all military camps to raise their flags and prepare for battle at any time. He also immediately sent someone to invite Fu Zichen to the camp for discussion.

The ten-man team entered the Qingzhou Prefecture Government Office, but found that the building was empty and there was no guard to be seen.

When the ten people returned to report, Leng Yi's ominous heart became more and more ominous. He ignored his subordinates' obstruction and went to the city to find Fu Zichen. However, after entering the city, he was invited to Fu's house by the fifth master of the Fu family, Fu Zichen's fifth uncle.

Three years ago, the Fu family was in chaos, and several masters died or were injured. Rong Leng turned the tide at that time and took the tiger of the Fu family to work for him. Because the old man of the Fu family was attached to Rong Leng, when he selected the head of the family, he chose Fu Zichen's father to succeed him. Two years ago, Fu Zichen's father, Fu Hongwang, officially stepped down and transferred all his power to his son Fu Zichen.

From then on, Qingzhou still had the surname Fu, but it became Fu Zichen's Fu.

And this fifth master of the Fu family was a coward three years ago. He helped the fourth master of the Fu family, Fu Hongda, to rebel, but he really couldn't do anything big. He knew very little about the rebellion. In the end, with the intercession of the old man Fu, this fifth master was exempted from the blame, and he has been living in the corner of the Fu family since then.

Leng Yi recognized Fu Hongtian, the fifth master of the Fu family. He thought Fu Hongtian came to take him to see Fu Zichen, but he didn't expect that someone had drugged his tea.

When he woke up, it was three days later. He was locked in the dungeon of the government office. He had no injuries, but he had no internal strength and could not move.

Later, he was rescued by Fu Zihan.

At that time, Fu Zihan's eyes were red and the long sword in his hand was still bleeding. He cut off the shackles on Leng Yi's hands and feet and took him out of the government office.

When he walked out of the yard, Leng Yi saw the body of Fu Hongtian lying horizontally. The skinny middle-aged man had his head and body separated, and his eyes were still wide open, and he died with his eyes open.

Fu Zihan was cold-blooded and ruthless. He didn't think there was anything wrong with killing his fifth uncle. It was not until he settled down with Leng Yi that the unruly teenager gritted his teeth and trembled and said, "Father and brother were killed by them..."

Father refers to Fu Hongwang, the third master of the Fu family, and brother refers to his biological brother, Fu Zichen, who has the same father and mother.

Leng Yi was shocked. At this time, Qingzhou Prefecture had been completely ruled by unknown forces, and even he was trapped in the city and couldn't get out.

Afterwards, Leng Yi contacted Lu Yi, a former subordinate who had retired long ago. According to Fu Zihan's words, these rebels who attacked Qingzhou were not like the army of Liaozhou. They were not even like people from the Central Plains. Some looked like Hu people, and some looked like barbarians.

Leng Yi had a guess in his mind. He knew that the queen's soldiers were mainly Hu soldiers.

With a rough idea in mind, Leng Yi turned his attention to the King of Liao. As long as the King of Liao was not making trouble, they might be able to ask Liaozhou for help. Why not look for the capital? Because the queen is in the capital, the seven kings in the capital must be busy taking care of themselves.

As for Liaozhou, Leng Yi believes that the Liao king will not be captured so easily.
