179. The emperor returns to the palace
"I committed suicide by taking poison?"
Le Wufeng pondered: "This is definitely not done by the bandits."
Zhao Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly, murderous aura appeared, and said, "Let's go and take a look."
They walked through the crowd and then saw the masters who committed suicide by taking poison in the crowd. Blood was flowing out of the corners of their mouths.
Although they had injuries on their bodies, two of them were not fatal. That is to say, they died purely from a toxic attack.
A master of Wudingtang pushed open the mouth of one of the corpses and reported to Zhao Dongting: "Master, they have poisonous fangs in their mouths."
Zhao Dongting squatted down to look at it and found that the corpse was indeed missing a tooth in his mouth. He quickly looked at another one, and the same was true.
His face became more and more serious, and he stood up again and said, "Go to the woods behind to take a look."
Everyone hurried into the woods.
I saw dozens of corpses of the martial arts masters and the assassins lying on the ground.
Zhao Dongting's heart twitched. These martial arts masters were precious wealth for him. They had not made any contributions, but failed here.
Zhao Dongting knew their martial arts. But their losses were even greater than those assassins, which only means that these assassins were even stronger.
This cannot be a bandit.
Another master of Wu Dingtang squatted down, pried open the mouths of several assassin's corpses, and turned around and said, "Master, they all have poisonous fangs in their mouths, they are dead soldiers."
"Death Soldier..."
Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, "Is it a master of the Yuan Dynasty?"
When Guangnan West Road suffered a great defeat, the Yuan Dynasty would be shocked. In a furious state, it was very likely to send masters to assassinate him.
Such a large number of dead soldiers with outstanding martial arts are not something that ordinary forces can cultivate.
At this time, Le Wuchen suddenly squatted down, turned over an assassin's body, and used his sword to pick the clothes behind him.
A blue tattoo was revealed in the fire.
The tattoo is round at the top and the bottom, like raindrops, but it is as big as a soybean. If you don't pay attention, you will only think it is a mole.
Le Wuchen said with an ugly face: "It's Tingyu Pavilion again."
His tone was also full of murderous aura.
"It's so wise!"
Zhao Dada scolded, "This dog-good Tingyu Pavilion is really in gloomy."
Zhao Dongting's face gradually calmed down, but it contained endless anger, "Why does Tingyu Pavilion always pester me?"
Since he was sent out of Leizhou, he had been assassinated by Li Ge several times, and he almost died of tetanus last time. Tingyu Pavilion was like a gangrene with bones, provoking Zhao Dongting again and again.
Among the masters of Wuding Hall next to him, some of them changed their qualities.
Le Wuchen said deeply: "Tingyu Pavilion kills people and never give up until they achieve their goal."
Zhao Dongting no longer looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Senior, if I don't die, will the assassination of Tingyu Pavilion be endless?"
Le Wuchen nodded, "That's true, unless... the emperor can completely eradicate Tingyu Pavilion."
Zhao Dongting could not see any joy and anger on his face, so he turned his head to look at Zhao Da: "Create the bodies of the worshipers and soldiers, take them back to Leizhou, and buried them in the Yishi Temple on Xianglong Island."
Zhao Da received the order and hurriedly led his soldiers to clean up the corpses on the ground.
Zhao Dongting just watched silently.
The other Wuding Hall masters looked complicated, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Over the past few days, a total of 69 worshippers have been included in the Wuding Hall. This time, as many as 24 people have been lost, only 45 people are left.
The highest military institution of the Song Dynasty that Zhao Dongting wanted to build had just begun and had encountered setbacks before it showed its glory.
However, this made him even more determined to strengthen the Wu Dingtang.
The court has served the court, and the world has been engaged in the world.
If the forces such as Tingyu Pavilion are in trouble, it will be difficult for the imperial army to kill them and can only rely on the power of the world.
Zhao Dongting remembered that when he watched the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Demon Sect Leader" in his previous life, Zhao Min, the princess of the Yuan Dynasty, wanted to destroy Zhang Wuji's Ming Cult, and most of the forces of the martial arts world were relying on, such as Cheng Kun, Xuanming, etc. These martial arts worldly people were wandering, and it was not easy to destroy them by the army.
Zhao Dongting destroyed Xiulin Castle, which was entirely because Xiulin Castle was not prepared. Otherwise, the army would have lost and would not be able to catch up with the people of Xiulin Castle.
That night, Zhao Dongting stayed asleep all night, and his mind was always thinking about how to strengthen Wudingtang.
He needs masters, real top masters and peerless masters.
Tingyu Pavilion failed again assassination, and did not come again for two days.
Zhao Dongting and his group finally arrived in Haikang County, Deleizhou.
Because there was no big fanfare, not to mention the people of Haikang County, even the court officials did not receive any news.
This time when Zhao Dongting returned to Haikang County, there was no scene of the people welcoming and worshiping again.
General Zhao saw the token of the soldiers guarding the city, and then the crowd hurried to the Haikang County Government Office, which is now the Song Dynasty palace.
The sky was a little drizzy.
The fragrance of vegetables is everywhere in Haikang County, with people coming and going on the streets, and cars and horses are like dragons. In today's chaotic times, it is rare to have such a prosperous situation in Haikang County. Even in all the places in the Southern Song Dynasty, there are few such cities nowadays.
Zhao Dongting's carriage passed through the middle of the street, and the flying dragon soldiers and Wudingtang masters galloped and protected the left and backsides. The people in such a formation could pass through the chariots and horses that came from the street to the side.
Ordinary people cannot ride horses when entering the city, and those who sit in sedan must have fame and honor. Zhao Dongting's pedestrians are both cars and horses, and everyone can know that their identity is extraordinary. It is hard to say that they are the top rich children in Leizhou and the descendants of the ministers in the court.
However, it seems that over the years, I have never heard of any descendant of an adult who has ever been so roaring and angry. The more prominent the family is, the more low-key it seems.
Could it be that this is an ignorant ordinary nobleman?
Therefore, although Zhao Dongting did not worship the people, it also attracted the attention of countless people.
After rushing across the street and squeezing through several arch bridges, a little panic appeared on the street. Zhao Dongting and his group finally arrived in front of the government office.
The Haikang County Government Office is quite spectacular, with high walls and black socks and high and spacious doors. Although it is not as good as those big cities, it is definitely the top and majestic in the prefectures of Xiazhou.
In the past, as the governor here, Ge Lijun did not give himself the title of emperor and wore a dragon robe, but he did the work of a local emperor. He plundered the people's wealth, Yang private soldiers, and built government offices, which were mostly beyond the reach. However, at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was corrupt and was facing war, but no one cared about him.
Now that Zhao Dongting, the Emperor of Song Dynasty, can be said to have a certain amount of money when he drinks and pecks.
In front of the mansion, dozens of brightly-clad soldiers stood upright.
These are the soldiers of the left and right guards.
Originally, the safety of the palace was the personal guards, but later Zhao Dongting promoted Yue Peng to be in charge of the official affairs of the personal guards, intending to train him into a tiger and wolf army who can go to battle and kill the enemy. All the matter of guarding the palace was handed over to the left and right guards.
The soldiers suffered a stroke. A centurion wearing red cherry blossoms. When they saw Zhao Da and others galloping to the front of the government office, their eyes suddenly closed and they hurriedly signaled the soldiers to be on guard.
They are responsible for protecting the palace. As long as these people break into the palace for half a step, they will be killed.
But what made him a little relieved was that Zhao Da and the others were all standing in front of him.
Zhao Dundu digs his token to the centurion and says, "The Emperor returns to the palace!"
When the centurion saw the three words "Flying Dragon Order" on Zhao Da Token, he raised his heart slightly. Then he saw Zhao Dongting walking out of the chariot and quickly fell to the ground, "Long live the emperor!"
He had met Zhao Dongting and recognized it.
"Let's flat!"
Zhao Dongting said lightly, looking up at the plaque on the government office.
"Haikang Palace."
Finally back to this place!
Although he defeated the Yuan army during his trip to Guangxi, he almost failed to come back.
Now, I just feel that all the scenery in front of me is extremely precious.
People have good fortune and bad luck every day, and they go around the gates of hell. Zhao Dongting plans to live every day as his last day. In this way, he will not let down this great river and country.
After a few glances, Zhao Dongting took Le Wuqian, a large group of people, walked into the palace.
After the centurion commander gave him respectfully, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers beside him to report to the Empress Dowager and the ministers that the emperor's return was a huge matter. The Chinese civil and military officials in the court had been looking forward to for a long time. It can be said that they were eagerly looking forward to it. Some ministers even greeted him, a small governor several times, saying that if the emperor came back, he would inform him immediately, how could he dare to neglect at this time?
With his official rank, it is rare to have such an opportunity to make good connections with the ministers.
Soon, the entire street in front of the palace jumped up.
Chapter completed!
