Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 446 Emperor Huizong of Song: Zhang Conglong is actually a pretty good person! [1st update]

After being repeatedly interrupted by Zhou Bangyan, Zhang Conglong, and Cai Fu, and then shocked by Jin Gu Lu's severed head, Emperor Huizong lost all interest in composing poems, drinking, and having fun with Li Shishi. He hurriedly took the brocade box and went to the backyard.

Upon arriving at the backyard, Emperor Huizong saw Zhang Conglong surrounded by enemies.

Hundreds of guards surrounded Zhang Conglong tightly, making it impossible for him to get through!

Just like a tourist attraction during a holiday in the 21st century, Zhang Conglong was so crowded that he couldn't even lift his hands.

Unable to kill Zhang Conglong, yet also unwilling to let him go, the clever guards employed a human wave tactic, successfully trapping Zhang Conglong.

Zhang Conglong had no choice but to be trapped by Emperor Huizong of Song.

Upon seeing Emperor Huizong arrive, Zhang Conglong hurriedly called out:
"Your Majesty, may I speak with you in private?"

You've finally called me "Your Majesty"...

Emperor Huizong was inexplicably moved, so he waved his hand:

"Step back, I want to say a few words to him."

The guards then stepped aside, giving Emperor Huizong and Zhang Conglong a relatively private space.

Emperor Huizong and Zhang Conglong looked into each other's eyes and found themselves sympathizing with each other, after all, they were both victims of the same fate...

"What happened today..."

When Emperor Huizong and Zhang Conglong opened their mouths, they spoke in unison, but stopped halfway through their sentences at the same time.

Although the words were not finished, the Emperor of Song and the Prince Consort of Jin already understood each other perfectly:

What happened today is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me; it must absolutely not be spread around!

It wasn't just Emperor Huizong of Song who cared about his reputation; Zhang Conglong did too.

The prince consort of the Great Jin Kingdom, who was also an envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom, was so frightened by a rebel from the Southern Barbarians that he hid under the bed while he was having sex!
If this gets out, the Wolf Lord will definitely kill him!

So through this incident, Emperor Huizong of Song and Zhang Conglong actually shared a secret.

"There is one more thing." Emperor Huizong, his face pale, revealed the brocade box:

Do you still remember this brocade box?

Zhang Conglong was taken aback: "Isn't this a gift from the King of Qi?"

What King Qi? He's a traitor!

Emperor Huizong of Song wanted to correct Zhang Conglong's grammatical error, but after hesitating, he decided against it, as important matters came first.

Want to know what's inside this brocade box?

Zhang Conglong was taken aback again: "Could it be that the gift the King of Qi gave you is related to me?"

Emperor Huizong nodded heavily and handed the brocade box to Zhang Conglong:
"The prince consort will know at a glance."

He had to make this clear to Zhang Conglong on the spot, lest Zhang Conglong hold him accountable later.

Zhang Conglong took the brocade box with suspicion, opened it, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:

"hiss--"

Emperor Huizong sighed: "Does the Imperial Son-in-Law know why Jin Gulu fell victim to Prince Qi's wickedness?"

Zhang Conglong's expression shifted rapidly, scanning the spectrum of colors before finally shaking his head.
"Jin Gulu said he was feeling down, so he went out of the city on horseback and somehow bumped into the Prince of Qi..."

Emperor Huizong of Song shook his head with a wry smile: "That traitor, Prince Qi, is too arrogant. I can't do anything about him..."

Zhang Conglong's small eyes darted around, and he let out a long sigh:
"This time, I not only failed to complete my mission in the Song Kingdom, but I also lost Jin Gu Lu. The Wolf Lord will be furious when he finds out!"
"It doesn't matter if I suffer injustice alone, but I'm afraid the Wolf Lord will be furious and lead his troops south!"

"At that time, the Song Kingdom will inevitably suffer heavy losses..."

Emperor Huizong's face turned green: This is exactly what I fear!

Emperor Huizong of Song hurriedly pressed, "Our Great Song and the Jin Dynasty are allies. How can your wolf lord wage war against an ally?"

Zhang Conglong shook his head: "The Wolf Lord naturally wouldn't use force against his allies, but the Great Jin and the Song Dynasty aren't..."

Emperor Huizong of Song said unequivocally:
"It is permissible! I agree to the alliance!"

"It hasn't been achieved yet, only because of the machinations of treacherous officials!"

"Now that the treacherous minister has been demoted to Nan Jian Prefecture by me, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty can naturally form an alliance!"

"most!"

Zhang Conglong was overjoyed.

He thought it was a sure thing when he came, but unexpectedly, there were many twists and turns, and he still hasn't succeeded. He even lost Jin Gu Lu.

Now that the alliance was finally formed, Zhang Conglong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Emperor Huizong of Song.
"In that case, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly speak up for your country before the Wolf Lord regarding the matter of Jin Gu Lu!"

Emperor Huizong said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble!"

The two reached a verbal agreement, and Zhang Conglong climbed over the wall and left, but he still didn't dare to go out through the main gate.

The prince consort is actually a pretty good person!

Emperor Huizong of Song breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Zhang Conglong's retreating figure climb over the wall.
Otherwise, what would we do if the Jin army marched south?
"go!"

Emperor Huizong of Song walked with practiced ease to a dry well in a corner of the backyard and, with the help of his guards, crawled inside.

In order to secretly meet Li Shishi outside the palace, Emperor Huizong of Song spared no expense to dig a tunnel that led directly from the palace to a dry well in the backyard of Li Shishi's house.

As Emperor Huizong climbed down the ladder, he thought to himself:
It's not safe for Li Shishi to live here anymore. Maybe next time we should let Li Shishi climb over here...

At the same time, Li Shishi was writing furiously at her desk.

Mrs. Li came in, patting her chest with lingering fear, and said:

"Oh my! We've finally gotten rid of those scoundrels!"
"Daughter, where is His Majesty?"

Li Shishi was focused on writing and had no time to pay attention to her.

Li's mother had no choice but to lie on the ground and call out to those under the bed:

"Your Majesty? Huh? Where did everyone go?"

Li's mother got up and dusted herself off. She could guess that everyone had gone back to their own homes and mothers.

However, she was still very worried, mainly because she did not know what Emperor Huizong's attitude was.

If Emperor Huizong of Song returned to the palace and, in a fit of anger, took Li Shishi into the state, what would become of her for the rest of her life?
Or perhaps Emperor Huizong, enraged and humiliated, decides to kill them to silence them. Wouldn't she have to run away as soon as possible?
The more Li's mother thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She could only press Li Shishi for answers, but Li Shishi was still writing nonstop.

Li's mother became anxious and snatched the calligraphy brush from Li Shishi's hand:

Write! Write! Write!

"He was still writing even when disaster was imminent!"

"Mom, give me back my pen!"

Li Shishi became anxious: "After this time, my daughter won't remember!"

"Can't remember?"

Li's mother looked at the Chengxintang paper on the table with a suspicious expression:
"Are you reciting from memory?"

"Oh, Mom, give me back my pen!"

Li Shishi frowned, and couldn't help but mutter:
"Who knows the heart of a hero in the flute's melody? Below, only the bones of soldiers are reflected in the empty light. That's not right!"
"Who knows the heart of a hero in the flute's melody? The sandbar reflects only the heads of soldiers on the battlefield. Oh, that's not right either!"

Li Shishi held her head in her hands, feeling as if her memories were about to disappear...

She didn't have the ability to remember everything she heard, and at first she didn't think Cai Fu could write any masterpieces, so she didn't concentrate on memorizing them.

By the time you realize what you've missed, it's already too late.

Originally, Li Shishi wanted to write it down from memory right away, but after being interrupted by her mother, she completely forgot.

Li Shishi was very frustrated because she might never have the chance to see this domineering man who could write poetry again...
