Chapter 405: The Imperial Seal
The only one who is unhappy is Shen Congxing.
He was transferred to the Forbidden Army and will be working in the western suburbs camp from now on.
Although it’s not far from Bianjing in Yuzhou, it’s still quite relaxing.
He has no connections in Bianjing. If he offends any powerful people, even if he is Zhao Zongquan's brother-in-law, Zhao Zongquan is an idle clan member and is from the lineage of Taizu. Not only can this status not help him, It might even become a problem.
Therefore, he did not want to be promoted, so he might as well stay in Yuzhou.
However, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, not to mention it is a reward. He can only force a smile and thank him.
After the Song Dynasty officials thanked him, Zhao Xing announced that a banquet would be held in the palace to celebrate the success.
As for the ordinary soldiers and military attachés with insufficient grades, naturally someone will announce the rewards and rewards, so Zhao Xing does not need to worry about them.
…………
While the palace was hosting a banquet in honor of the heroes, in the prison of the Imperial City Division, several soldiers escorted Zuo Qi and Zuo Qiang and passed by the door of the cell where Ruyu was imprisoned.
“Hurry up!”
The urging of the escorting soldiers woke up Ruyu who was in a daze.
Ruyu didn't pay attention at first, and just looked towards the door. When she saw Zuo Qi flashing past the window, Ruyu was slightly startled.
When she came to her senses, she got off the bed and quickly ran to the door. However, the window on the door was very small, and she couldn't even stretch her head out. She could only see the back of the jailer walking past.
"Brother Qi, is that you?" Ruyu shouted.
Zuo Qi, who was in chains and with dull eyes, heard this, his face changed drastically, he struggled and turned his head and said: "Ruyu, why were you arrested?"
"Quickly leave!" Escorted The jailer shouted impatiently.
Not far away, when Yin Hanzhang saw this scene, he raised the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "Let them see you!"
He deliberately arranged for someone to escort Brother Zuoqi from the Ruyu cell I passed by just to see if they knew each other.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.
"Yes!"
A person behind Yin Hanzhang responded, and quickly stepped forward to ask the jailer escorting the Zuo brothers to take them outside Ruyu's cell.
"Brother Qi, didn't I order someone to send you a message? Why were you still arrested?" Ruyu looked very excited when she saw Zuo Qi.
Zuo Qi said with a sad expression: "It's hard to say anything, let's not talk about this anymore, you are..."
Zuo Qi originally wanted to ask Ruyu how he was caught, but there was no use in asking at this time.
"Ruyu, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!" Zuo Qi said.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple to save people!"
Yin Hanzhang stepped forward and said with a smile: "This cell is entirely made of cement. I'm afraid you don't know about cement. I Let me introduce it to you!"
Yin Hanzhang briefly explained the function of cement, then reached out and patted the door. The door of Ruyu's cell made a metallic sound.
"The cell door is made of iron and is very strong. I forgot to tell you, this prison is within the imperial city. It is impossible to escape if you enter here, and no one can rescue people from the outside."
" Brother Qi, don't be fooled by him, just a trace, don't..."
"Shut up!"
The soldiers behind saw this and yelled quickly.
“Let her say it!”
Yin Hanzhang dismissed the soldiers, looked at Ruyu with a smile, and said, "Didn't you ask him why he didn't escape? Let me tell you, it's not that he didn't escape, but that he didn't receive your message at all.
< br>It’s not that we intercepted the letter, but that he was abandoned by the leader of the Wizarding Cult. Even when he was caught, it was a letter sent by the leader of the Wizarding Cult!”
“You are talking nonsense, how could he be the leader? Do this?" Ruyu sneered. "I felt strange when I first heard the news. The leader of the Wizarding Cult regarded him as an abandoned son and just left him alone. There was absolutely no need to reveal the place where he fled to the court, but now I seem to understand a little bit."< br>
Yin Han Zhang Wei He smiled and said, "Your identities shouldn't be simple, right? Before that, he didn't know that you were arrested, so if he escapes and finds out that you have been arrested, he will naturally find ways to save you. But the leader of the Wizarding Cult knows how to save you." No, or I have no intention of saving you at all.
In this case, this person will not be able to stay, otherwise he will escape and insist on saving you. If the leader of the wizard sect does not agree, he will definitely lose his support.
The leader of the Wizard Cult was worried that the court would not be able to catch him, so he revealed the direction of his escape to the officers and soldiers who were fighting the rebellion. "
Yin Hanzhang smiled when he spoke, and at the end he looked a little regretful.
The smile was because the relationship between Zuo Qi and Ruyu was not simple, and it was not difficult for them to speak.
But since the leader of the Wizard Cult did this, he was obviously not afraid of what the two of them would say
Therefore, even if the two of them opened their mouths, it would be almost impossible to catch the leader of the Wizard Cult through them.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Ruyu roared.
"You already believe it, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so excited!" Yin Hanzhang said lightly.
Ruyu looked decadent when he heard this. When Yin Hanzhang told it, Zuo Qi said nothing. Obviously, what he said was true.
But the leader of the Wizarding Cult raised her up, and it was hard for her to accept this result.
"Don't make things difficult for Ruyu. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you everything I know. But since you know it was the leader who betrayed me, you should know that what I know is limited," Zuo Qi said.
"I just like talking to smart people, come on, bring him out!" Yin Hanzhang said with a smile.
Ruyu looked confused. She still couldn't accept the fact that Zuo Qi was stabbed in the back by the wizard leader.
Yin Hanzhang ordered people to take Zuo Qi out of the cell and conducted questioning.
The result was as he expected. Zuo Qi only knew a few hiding spots of the leader of the Wizard Cult, and he didn’t even know his name or appearance.
As for the higher-ups of the Wizard Cult, he didn't provide much information.
Yin Hanzhang frowned and said: "You should know that if you want to save your and Ruyu's lives, these are not enough!"
"I only know so much, and even if I help If you catch the leader of the Wizard Cult, will you let me go?" Zuo Qi said calmly.
Yin Hanzhang was silent for a while and said: "It's easy to talk to smart people. Please help me persuade Ruyu to speak. I promise not to embarrass you, leave a whole body for you, and bury you together!"
Left Qi heard the words and shook his head and said: "Don't waste your efforts. Ruyu doesn't know much, otherwise he would definitely tell me. Although I can't help you catch the leader of the wizard sect, I can give you something in exchange for Ruyu." One life!”
"What?" Yin Hanzhang asked doubtfully.
Zuo Qi is a smart man and can keep calm at this time. He should know that it is difficult to save Ruyu's life.
But he still said that, which shows that he is very confident.
“I know the whereabouts of Yuxi!” Zuo Qi said.
“The empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty offered a jade seal when he surrendered!”
Yin Hanzhang shook his head and said: "Even if the jade seal is fake, what value do you think it has if it is real?"
"I am talking about the jade seal passed down from the country!" Zuo Qi said every word.
“What did you say!”
Yin Hanzhang looked at Zuo Qi in horror.
“I wonder if this is enough to save Ruyu’s life?” Zuo Qi asked.
"Where is the imperial seal?" Yin Hanzhang asked with a fiery expression.
It’s not that he has any thoughts about the Chuan Guo Jade Seal, but because of his contribution to finding the Chuan Guo Jade Seal.
