    Chapter 293: Diving Zhao Yu is relatively satisfied with the supervision mechanism for those who are corrupt.  Ouyang is more concerned about Zhao Yu's personal safety.  Wanyan Zongbi's attitude made Ouyang's heart beat.  The next day, Ouyang hosted three consecutive safety symposiums, conducting in-depth discussions on Zhao Yu's diet, travel and other aspects, striving to achieve 100% safety.  Although he was worried, Zhao Yu¡¯s itinerary would not change, but Zhao Yu also agreed to the suggestion to take Tuhe Bridge instead.  Ouyang also did a lot of homework on this matter.  For example, before making the news public, internal guards were sent to lurk near Tuhe Bridge to observe.  For example, the Imperial Guard was sent to inspect the bridge inch by inch.  But the investigation results disappointed Ouyang, with no progress at all.  The remaining Jurchen Balisu and his two accomplices have not yet been traced, but Zhao Yu was not afraid at all and set off according to the itinerary.  The 20,000 imperial troops who had previously opened the way, under the leadership of their general, searched every inch of the land, but found nothing unusual.  While this reassured many people, it also made Ouyang even more worried.  Ouyang insisted that if Wanyan Zongbi didn't have a more feasible plan, it would be impossible for him to fall into the tiger's mouth.  Although Wanyan Zongbi also arranged firearms at Sancha Bridge, Ouyang believed that those were deceptive props.  Because based on the disguised identities of Wanyan Zongbi's groom and his cronies, it was impossible to approach Sancha Bridge when the emperor came.  Not to mention the ignition or cable pulling.  Besides, the bridge must be inspected by internal guards at the end. Small things like landmines will be forgotten, but big things like explosive packs will definitely be detected.  ¡­ ¡­ Tuhe Bridge is eighty meters long from north to south and three meters wide from east to west. It is not a solid stone and wood arch structure, but a pontoon bridge.  After the ships were lined up, they were nailed, planks were laid on them, and thick ropes were used for safety.  For the convenience of boating, wooden arches were raised in the north and south, and the water surface was cleared to facilitate the passage of boats.  The floating bridge has a history of more than 3,000 years. It was built by an emperor in that era to marry his wife.  At that time, it was stipulated that only the emperor could use the floating bridge.  When the emperor is done with it, it must be dismantled.  During the Warring States Period, when etiquette collapsed and music collapsed, this rule was also broken, and floating bridges began to be used among the people.  The Song Dynasty had a history of building floating bridges of more than 400 meters.  However, the arch-raising technology of Tuhe Bridge was an eye-opener for Chen Gui.  Although at that time, the Han people had relatively concentrated and excellent technical resources, the Liao people also had many skilled craftsmen.  Although pontoons are simple, maintenance costs are high.  The Tuhe Bridge was already somewhat dilapidated. Chen Gui was learning the arch-raising technique while leading people to repair the bridge. His time was tight, and Zhao Yu only gave him four days.  Approaching the Tuhe Bridge, the atmosphere became even more tense.  Ouchi was responsible for dispatching and taking a series of measures to protect Zhao Yu's safety.  For example, because Lieutenant General Ba knew Ba Lisu, he could not leave the imperial commander too far and could conduct interrogations on suspicious persons at any time.  The accompanying civil servants are one group, the accompanying military officers are one group, and the palace maids and eunuchs are one group.  The outer perimeter is the guard. Except for the inner guard, all groups are not allowed to join the guard.  This was a great deal for Wanyan Zongbi and Ouyang. Generally speaking, everyone believed that it was impossible for the thief to assassinate Zhao Yu again. Even if the thief attempted to assassinate, he would not pose a threat to Zhao Yu.  Ouyang asked Lieutenant General Ba: "How is it? Are there any Jurchens who have sneaked into the Forbidden Army or the eunuchs?" "No." The Lieutenant General shook his head and said, "Sir, to be honest. I know General Bazhu Sumo, but his two  The general is not sure what kind of personal follower he is. " "For such a big matter, I believe Ba Lisu will take action personally," Ouyang said, "Don't be nervous, especially when crossing the bridge.  " "Yes" Ouyang walked back about forty meters and found Zhao Yuyu, who was resting now.  Zhao Yu was drinking tea in a pavilion, with guards on all sides.  Ouyang saw that the dozens of people here were all people he knew.  When Zhao Yu saw Ouyang coming back, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Ouyang, you are usually very courageous, why are you so cautious today? Sit down." Ouyang sat down and bowed his head. Jiu Eunuch brought the tea over. Ouyang drank it all in one gulp. Jiu Eunuch  I had to run over again to get the cup and add tea.  Ouyang Yi smiled and said: "According to my understanding of Wanyan Zongbi, it is impossible for him to sell me out so easily. I am wondering if it is his conspiracy to invite me to take Tuhe Bridge." "Smart people are suspicious.  "Zhao Yu sighed and said, "Are you too afraid of Wanyan Zongbi?" "Report" An internal guard reported: "All the underwater inspections of Tuhe Bridge have been completed, and no traces of the thieves have been found. Imperial troops have been stationed in Ouchi.  The Tuhe Bridge is blocked." Ouyang asked: "How far is it from the bridge?" "Two miles away." Ouyang hesitated again. Liu Cangmang, the deputy commander in charge of the emperor's safety, said: "  Sir, we have been closely guarding it. Even if they really have a plan, I'm afraid they won't be able to carry it out. I believe that the Tuhe Bridge is just a trick. The thieves may wait for me to cross the bridge and let my guard down before they take action."He also gave Ouyang face. After all, he recognized Ouyang's belief that Wanyan Zongbi would attack. If it weren't for Ouyang's status, others would have ridiculed him.  Zhao Yu smiled: "Ouyang, let me ask you. I went to Yangping twice, and once I left incognito, with only a few people with me. The imperial army was also waiting for orders dozens of miles away, so I was fine even if I was so lax. Now the protection is tight, why do you  Are you even more uneasy?" Ouyang shook his head: "Your Majesty, attack one and defend ten. Especially for assassinations, the assassin must use ten points of strength." "It's okay."  Zhao Yu did not take it seriously and said: "Let's drive." Ninth Eunuch shouted: "Let's drive." Some of the internal guards packed up the tables and chairs and loaded them into the carriages. The elite forbidden troops opened the way first, followed by the internal guards, and then the royal carriage.  Ouyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment." "What's the matter?" Zhao Yu was a little dissatisfied in his words.  "Is the carriage passable?" Ouyang asked.  Zhao Yu was traveling in four carriages, and the bridge was only three meters wide.  The previous scout's internal guard reported: "If we can't cross, we can only ask Your Majesty to cross the bridge on foot." "On foot?" Zhao Yu said impatiently: "Ouyang, why are you such a mother-in-law? I haven't walked enough? You told me to cross the bridge on foot.  What can happen? "Ouyang really doesn't know what can happen.  Ouyang said helplessly: "Yes" "Let's drive" When they arrived at the bridge, the Forbidden Army began to cross the bridge in two columns to test the bridge's endurance.  The bridge arch has a slope, but it is not difficult.  But it can't pass larger carriages.  Then the infantrymen crossed the river in order, and finally the internal guards protected Zhao Yu from crossing the river.  Civil servants and other groups are behind. In extraordinary times, groups are divided according to status and cannot run around.  The roads on both sides of the Tuhe Bridge have been completely occupied by the Forbidden Army, with people standing in neat rows at three steps.  Zhao Yu was a bit brave. He flicked his palace clothes and left first.  Ouyang and Eunuch Jiu followed closely behind a few steps behind.  Will something happen?  Everything will be fine?  When Zhao Yu just arrived at the center of the bridge, Deputy General Ba, who was twenty meters in front of her, suddenly shouted: "Pull off the speed!" "What?" Everyone was shocked. Deputy General Shun Ba looked with his finger and saw that it was a Forbidden Army standing guard before crossing the bridge.  When the forbidden army saw it, everyone looked over. They nervously waved their spears and asked, "What? Where is it?" "Where are you going?" Lieutenant General Ba turned his horse and rushed towards the river.  A guard shouted: "Stop!" The emperor is still in the middle of the bridge. What do you mean by your horse rushing over?  Ouyang suddenly realized and shouted: "He is the one who pulls away!" Damn it, the thief shouted, "Catch the thief."  You bastard is so cruel.  This deputy general arrested Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongbi's cronies.  The purpose is to increase your trust.  Ouyang thought of a lot of assassinations in ancient times, such as Jing Ke, who also used the head of a general to get close to the King of Qin "Yes, I am Ba Lisu." Ba Lisu squeezed the two internal guards into the water, and then set the fire on fire.  A hand cannon was thrown towards Zhao Yu.  He also underestimated the martial arts of the inner guard. An arrow flew and knocked the hand cannon off the bridge, and the hand cannon exploded on the water.  Zhao Yu said to Ouyang without fear, "I told you earlier, they can't get close to me." After saying this, Bali Su had already been hit by two arrows and was fighting with two internal guards. Although the distance was only about ten meters,  But the inner guards have already deployed their defenses.  The people on the other side of the bridge started to turn around, and they were instantly killed.  It seems that as Zhao Yu said, there is nothing to fear about assassination.  Pulling out more than a dozen knives from his body, he roared ferociously: "Kill" and then fell down on the bridge and died.  Ouyang was shocked, it seemed that another person had died worthless.  The hand-throwing cannon is the only lethality of the Ba Lisu, but the internal guards are not afraid of death. Even if the hand-throwing cannon is thrown in, there will still be dead soldiers to deal with it.  The lethality is nothing to fear.  "What is that?" Ouyang turned around and was horrified. Dozens of fireboats loaded with supplies suddenly appeared on the upstream water surface and swam downstream, rushing toward the Tuhe Bridge.  After the fire ship, there were several ships full of Jurchens, with dozens of people waving weapons and shouting.  "Protect the emperor, protect the emperor" many people shouted together.  But how to protect it?  Ouyang finally fully understood Wanyan Zongbi's assassination plan.  First of all, Zhao Yu must be allowed to take the Tuhe Bridge instead of the Sancha Bridge.  Because there are no human settlements in the upper reaches of the Tuhe River, it is conducive to lurking.  Compared with the wooden and stone structure of the Sancha Bridge, the damage consequences of an attack on the pontoon bridge are more serious.  How can we make Zhao Yu change his path?  Wanyan Zongbi came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone, which was to sacrifice himself.  The confessions of confidants showed that there were still Jurchen assassins lurking in Fuyu County, which made the Song people uneasy.  The second function of Wanyan Zongbi's sacrifice of himself is to increase Ba Lisu's trust and bring him closer to Zhao Yu.  Even if Zhao Yu takes the Sancha Bridge, Ba Lisu still has a certain assassination ability.  Pull away from the speedIt also has the effect of blocking traffic on the bridge, sending a signal to the accomplices to take action, and delaying time.  Ouyang just wondered who confirmed the identity of Balisu as a general dispatched to the front line.  "Arrow Attack" The Jurchens began to attack with arrows.  Liu Cangmang asked anxiously: "What should I do?" "Dive" Ouyang said to Zhao Yu: "Your Majesty, jump, it will be too late. Everyone who can swim should jump together." "I won't jump" Zhao Yu said with a pale face.  She can't swim.
