308. Royal Transaction
Outside the east gate of Xiujiang Town, the Song soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, someone came slowly.
He walked out of the darkness and appeared under the torches of Song Army.
Immediately, Song Jun noticed it and shouted, "Who is coming?"
Li Wangyuan inserted his two swords into his waist, "Li Wangyuan, the personal guard of the Great Yuan Mingzhu Princess, asks to meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."
The Song army around them were slightly awe-inspiring.
Princess Mingzhu’s personal guard?
Although they didn't know about Princess Mingzhu was captured, and they didn't even know who Princess Mingzhu was. But they heard that she was the princess's personal guard, so they didn't dare to take it seriously.
Who knows why this guy asked to see the emperor?
These soldiers obviously did not dare to make any decisions about this kind of thing.
At that moment, a soldier ran towards the commander. The commander came over and saw Li Wangyuan and said, "You are waiting here, I will arrange someone to report to the emperor."
Li Wangyuan nodded and sat on the ground.
A soldier ran towards Xiujiang Town.
At this time, Zhao Dongting had just fallen asleep and was dreaming, but was awakened by the report from outside.
"Your Majesty, someone outside the town calls himself Princess Mingzhu's personal guard and asks for a visit."
Zhao Dongting was disturbed to sleep one after another, and was a little angry. When his mind was a little clear, he was a little confused.
He thought that Huang Liangce or the Double Swordsman might have heard that Mingzhu was captured and returned to Xiujiang Town to rescue Mingzhu again, but he never thought that they would be openly asking for a meeting outside the town.
"Go and take him to the main square."
Zhao Dongting ordered outside, pondered for a moment, and said, "Please come over as the Lord of the Le Hall."
Huang Liangce or the Double Swordsman are both extremely powerful martial arts, and Zhao Dongting really dares not deal with them casually.
The guards took the order and left.
Zhao Dongting put on his clothes and went out, and took dozens of worshippers to the government square.
By then, Le Wuxuan had arrived.
Zhao Dongting walked to Le Wuchen and said, "Senior, Princess Mingzhu's personal guard is asking for a meeting. What do you think you are holding?"
Le Wuchen said: "I'm afraid I want to use what conditions to exchange for her to go back?"
"condition?"
Zhao Dongting pondered, "What conditions can they give?"
This matter could not have been spread to Zhongdu so soon. Zhao Dongting did not think that Monto had any skills to offer conditions.
After all, Monto is just a general under Boyan. Could it be that he still dares to make any claim without authorization?
Soon, Li Wangyuan was also brought there.
When Zhao Dongting saw that he was the only one, he was a little surprised and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."
At this time, Li Wangyuan's arm was completely stained with blood.
But he was really a man with iron bones. Even though his face was slightly pale, he didn't even frown.
Staring at Zhao Dongting for a few glances, he suddenly bowed and said, "Li Wangyuan has met the Emperor of Song Dynasty."
Zhao Dongting didn't want to be silly with him, so he said directly: "Do you come here to redeem your princess and go back? Tell me about your price!"
He really didn't think that Li Wangyuan would have any other reasons for coming again.
"No."
However, Li Wangyuan shook his head and said, "Li is here to see you as a descendant of the Xixia royal family."
The Western Xia royal family?
Zhao Dongting couldn't help but look surprised, "Are you the Western Xia royal family?"
He knew that Xixia had been destroyed for decades, but he never thought that the Double Swordsman had such an identity.
Li Wangyuan's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, "I am the grandson of Li Xun, the last emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty."
This surprised Zhao Dongting even more.
After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "Why are you here to save Princess Mingzhu?"
Li Wangyuan looked at the worshippers around him and the soldiers.
Zhao Dongting said: "But it's okay."
He never thought of giving Li Wangyuan the opportunity to be alone with him. Who knew what he said was true or false. Being stabbed one after another had already made Zhao Dongting cautious.
Li Wangyuan had no choice but to say, "I want to make a comparison with the emperor. The Yuan Dynasty is in great power, and the emperor's army is now surrounded by the Yuan army. I believe the emperor knows this in his heart. Li is willing to persuade my old minister of Xixia to turn against the Yuan Dynasty and help the emperor to break the emperor's siege in the shortest time."
Zhao Dongting was not moved when he heard this, but just chuckled, "Tell me about your conditions."
Li Wangyuan said: "I only ask the emperor to exchange it with the Yuan Dynasty for one person with Princess Mingzhu as its qualifier."
"who?"
"Concubine Shu Li Xiushu."
"She is also your Xixia royal family?"
"She is my real sister."
Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that you and your sister were concubines in the Yuan Dynasty. This transaction is OK. But how do I know if you can persuade the old ministers of Xixia? You Xixia has been destroyed for 60 years. The original ministers are probably dead. Even if they have descendants, they still hold power on Ningxia Road. However, the Yuan Dynasty's strong military force will still be willing to take risks for you?"
Li Wangyuan said: "Although I am a sage in Zhong, there are naturally some people in my royal family who secretly have contact with those old ministers later."
"OK."
Zhao Dongting said, "I have done this business with you. But... I need not only you to help the Song general Boyan, and Yesuer will completely fight back. When will I defeat the Yuan army, when will I exchange Princess Mingzhu for your sister? How about?"
"good."
Li Wangyuan agreed concisely, bowed his hand again, and then walked out of the government office.
When his figure disappeared at the entrance of the government office, Le Wufeng whispered: "Your Majesty, can you believe this person's words?"
Zhao Dongting said quietly: "It doesn't matter whether you can believe it or not. Anyway, Princess Mingzhu is still in our hands. How to use it or how to use it."
He is no longer the Zhao Dongting who just came to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Dongting doesn't mind using some disgraceful means.
If he wants to resist Yuan and restore Song, he always has to give up some things. He is not so pedantic that he doesn't use any sinister means.
He looked outside the government office and thought, at this time, the messenger who went to Wuzhou to deliver the letter must have run out of Xu Yuan, right?
After that night, he finally had a peaceful sleep.
In the wild, dozens of Song troops gathered towards Xiujiang Town in various parts of Tengzhou.
Tengzhou is just such a big place, and the scouts galloped quickly and it didn't take long to deliver messages and reports.
Zhao Dongting's orders were passed to various army headquarters, and each army commanded each division headquarters. Several waves of scouts could always arrive safely.
However, many troops of the Yuan army were rushing all night. Their encirclement was shrinking, obviously trying to completely isolate the Song army's road to Xiujiang Town. Especially in the north of Xiujiang Town, most of the Yuan army's military power gathered here, leaving only Monto to restrain the Song army in Xiujiang Town.
Oh, and Song Bitao, who was plotted by Yang Fan.
After Song Bitao was defeated and returned to the camp, Yang Fan did not issue any orders to let him move.
He was like a dead chess placed on the side of Xiujiang Town, which was annoying. If the Song army sent troops to wipe it out, it would be more suitable for Yang Fan's wishes.
But Yang Fan probably never thought that Zhao Dongting had no intention of killing Song Bitao at all.
Song Bitao's words came to prosper for the world, which touched Zhao Dongting's heart.
People who have the mind to consider the whole world usually have no bad heart. Zhao Dongting is unwilling to kill such people.
The next day.
Zhao Dongting got up early in the morning, practiced sword intent and swordsmanship, and had breakfast, so it was about eight o'clock.
Le Chan was wearing a green palace dress in his yard, smiling, and always looked at Zhao Dongting foolishly. There was no need to say more about the sweetness in his eyes.
She also had to go back to Baicao Valley, so she felt that the time she spent with Zhao Dongting was particularly precious.
No scouts arrived at the division and regiment headquarters.
After Zhao Dongting took off the sword, he smiled and said to Le Chan: "Le Chan, do you want to follow me to meet the famous Princess Mingzhu of the Yuan Dynasty?"
Le Chan nodded with a smile.
It doesn’t matter who she meets. What’s important is that she can stay with Zhao Dongting.
It is said that women can transform the simplicity into soft fingers, but when women really fall in love with men, how can they turn into snow?
At this time, there was no sign of coldness on Le Chan's face anymore. She looked like a happy and sweet little woman.
Le Wuchen saw his eldest daughter look like she was next to her, and she didn't know what she thought of, and shook her head helplessly.
Maybe he was thinking that his daughter was probably out of salvation?
More than ten people surrounded Zhao Dongting and Le Chan and headed towards the main hall of the government office.
When they opened the hall door, a slight ray of light shone from behind them to the hall and left, casting their shadows.
Princess Mingzhu, who was still tied to the pillar, woke up and screamed hysterically, "You bastard! You actually locked me up here for a night."
Le Chan was a little stunned when she saw the delicate Princess Mingzhu tied up on the pillar.
Zhao Dongting said in a slutty way: "I'm pretty inspirational. I'm worthy of being a princess who grew up eating delicacies. Well, I can be hungry for a few more days."
This sentence made Princess Mingzhu's shouting abruptly come to an end.
She is only sure whether she is hungry or not. She is afraid that Zhao Dongting will starve her for a few more days.
I think she has never felt hungry before. This empty stomach pain is really even more uncomfortable than killing her.
