A round of setting sun hung in the western sky. The Thirteenth Prince Zhao Dexin was sitting motionless on his horse. He stopped and looked at the setting sun, his figure seemed a little lonely. "Heroes die late! I wonder if the prince thinks what I said is right?" Bao Qing patted the horse's back and approached Zhao Dexin. The soldiers behind them all began to prepare to camp for the night. "Yes, I just have some regrets! In a single thought, I harmed my daughter, my princess, and my subordinates who have followed me for many years." Zhao Dexin said lightly. "If I had known now, why bother at the beginning! It is said that you also harmed someone! It was your son." Bao Qing said bitterly. Sure enough, when the Thirteenth Prince heard this, his body trembled and he almost fell off his horse. "Young official! Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect our prince!" Hu Fei yelled with an angry look on his face, but was trapped aside by Zhang Long. "Yes! It's all my fault. All cause and effect should be directed at me. Why hurt innocent people? Why?" Although Bao Qing was a little skeptical about the whole thing, in his opinion, the top priority was to find a way first. Rescue Cao Qi, but treason is equivalent to death penalty, so there is no need to sympathize. What Bao Qing wants now is to crush all the hopes of the Thirteenth Prince and make him give up completely. Because when a person is discouraged, he will lose interest in everything. By that time, maybe the Thirteenth Prince will be able to explain everything. Bao Qing paused and continued: "I want to tell the prince a very unfortunate news. The princess is with me!" "What? The princess was captured by you? Where is she? I want to see her!" The third prince asked anxiously. "Don't worry, she is imprisoned elsewhere. I forgot to tell you that your subordinate Hong Ba's son is also in my hands! I think the prince should reconsider it." Bao Qing The voice was full of menace. "What!" The Thirteenth Prince was a little surprised, but after a pause, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, it's good to catch him! Although you and Zhuang Lei are on the same side, it is better to fall into your hands than to fall into his hands. That Zhuang Lei is in charge. "If you do things in a hurry, it will indeed affect a person's judgment. Bao Qing regretted that he should not have revealed his trump card so quickly. Unexpectedly, Zhao Dexin did not compromise. Bao Qing was a little impatient, watching the setting sun's rays fall on Zhao Dexin's body, outlining a lonely and desolate figure. what is that? Bao Qing saw something else on the robe of the Thirteenth Prince Zhao Dexin. If he hadn't looked so carefully, he wouldn't have been able to see it. Bao Qing moved forward a little further and glanced down. A section of beard was exposed under Zhao Dexin's robe, which should be the beard of a jade pendant. This style? Bao Qing suddenly thought of the first time he met Hong Ba on Niuben Road to Bazhou. Hong Ba was dressed in military uniform. He was such a reckless man, but he actually wore a jade pendant. Even when he was wearing armor, he did not forget to wear a jade pendant. The brocade beard falling from the jade pendant on Hong Ba's body is exactly the same as the brocade beard on the jade pendant of the Thirteenth Prince in front of him. "Your Majesty, I have a gracious request. I have always liked to collect jade. Your Majesty should have a jade pendant on your body. Can you lend it to me for a look?" Bao Qing asked. "This!" The Thirteenth Prince was a little surprised, and at the same time, he quietly pulled down the hem of his robe. "I guess the prince's jade pendant should be a royal thing. I have grown up so big, and I have never seen what a royal jade pendant looks like. Well, prince, without too much trouble, I will lend you the jade pendant that the prince wears. Take a look." After Bao Qing finished speaking, he looked directly at the hem of the Thirteenth Prince's robe. The Thirteenth Prince had no choice but to slowly untie the jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Bao Qing. Bao Qing played with it carefully and excused himself by saying, "It's getting dark and I can't see clearly. Let's do this. I'll return it to the prince tomorrow." That night, Bao Qing returned to the camp and asked Cao Yun to find an oil lamp and check it carefully. stand up. "This jade pendant was actually used by the royal prince. It is indeed extraordinary. The jade body is crystal clear and there seems to be a rainbow light lingering inside. The front is engraved with "The Blessing of the Dragon's Birthday" and the back is engraved with a pattern of furry patterns and lins. What surprised Bao Qing the most was that the shape of this jade pendant was somewhat different from the common ones. Although it was half-moon shaped, the end of the jade pendant was obviously too small in curvature, as if the end of the jade pendant had been cut. Bao Qing turned the jade pendant over and looked at the end of the jade pendant. Unexpectedly, there are patterns on the edge of the jade pendant. Bao Qing gently touched the bottom edge of the jade pendant with his hand, and there was indeed a pattern. "Brother Bao, what did you find?" Cao Yun asked quickly when she saw that Bao Qing seemed to have discovered something. "The edge of the end of this jade pendant is actually carved with patterns. Have you ever seen a jade pendant like this?" After Bao Qing finished speaking, he touched the bottom of the pattern again.  "Brother Bao, look what's on your finger!" Cao Yun said. Hearing this, Bao Qing put the finger that had touched the jade pendant near the oil lamp and took a closer look. I don¡¯t know when I got a little bit of black powder on my fingers. The number is so small that if you don't look closely, you can't really see it. Bao Qing asked Cao Yun to get a piece of white silk, blew several puffs of hot air on the bottom of the jade pendant with his mouth, and then pressed the jade pendant up on the white silk. A short dragon-shaped pattern appeared in front of Bao Qing and Cao Yun. "It is indeed a seal. Look, the black powder just now is probably red ink pad. It's just that at night, we can't see clearly and the colors are mixed up." Bao Qing said thoughtfully. "So that's it! But why does this pattern look like a dragon?" Cao Yun agreed. "It is indeed a dragon. It seems that these thirteen princes really want to rebel. Even the jade pendants are in the shape of dragons. Otherwise, can a prince use the shape of a dragon as a seal?" Bao Qing was a little surprised. He had some doubts before. No mistake, these thirteen princes don't look like people who want to rebel. But now it seems that dragon patterns have been used, and only a ghost would believe that he did not intend to rebel. "Cao Yun, do you think the jade pendant on Hong Ba's body is the same as this? Maybe it's a pair. I saw a jade pendant hanging on Hong Ba's body that day. Although I don't know what it looked like, the jade pendant's brocade The styles are exactly the same," Bao Qing couldn't help but say. "Brother Bao means that Hong Ba's jade pendant is exactly the same as the thirteenth prince's jade pendant? Or maybe it is a token given to Hong Ba by the thirteenth prince?" Cao Yun said. "Token? That's right! Why send it here and there if it's not a token? Then why does Hong Ba want this token?" Bao Qing suddenly realized something. Could this so-called token be used to prove the letter? Bao Qing was a little excited when he thought of this. It seemed like he would have to keep this jade pendant by his side for a while. "Brother Bao, shall I sleep with you tonight? I was too sleepy yesterday! So" Cao Yun said softly and coyly. Bao Qing was a little hesitant, but looking at Cao Yun's slim figure and protruding buttocks, he seemed unable to control himself. No matter what, it was all the oil lamp's fault. The light was too blurry and this little girl was too gentle. Just when Bao Qing was mentally prepared, he blew out the oil lamp, slowly put Cao Yun into his arms, and was about to play with her for a while, when suddenly the tent was opened and a person broke in. Bao Qing was startled, pulled out the short crossbow given by Zhu Xiong from under the quilt, and pointed it at the man. "Sir, it's me! Zhang Long. News from Bazhou." "No matter what news there is, you can't just break into your camp." Cao Yun was furious. She was about to do something good, but this idiot came to cause trouble. , of course not giving him a good look. At this time, Zhang Long felt that it was inappropriate for him to come in, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When Bao Qing heard this, he felt relieved. Fortunately, I have a good habit of turning off the lights when I go to bed with a woman, otherwise it would be really embarrassing. "What's the news? Tell me directly!" Bao Qing also felt that this dragon came at the wrong time. "There is two pieces of news. The two armies of the Thirteenth Prince, about 15,000 men, have met at Hong Ba's Bazhou Camp. Zhuang Zhizhou's whereabouts are unknown. Wang Fakui lost more than half of his troops and fled with his troops. In the direction of Baozhou, Zhang Long said. "This is expected. Everything that is supposed to come has come!" Although Bao Qing had known that this would happen, it still shocked him! "There is another news from the capital, sir. It's just a letter from the capital." Zhang Long handed the letter to Bao Qing and then exited the camp. "What's the news?" Cao Yun hurriedly got up and lit the oil lamp. "Get in bed quickly, don't freeze, I'll tell you when I see it!" Bao Qing smiled and pinched Cao Yun's buttocks. As soon as Bao Qing heard that the news was coming from the capital, and it was on letterhead, he knew it must be from Dong Yanran. Bao Qing opened it and saw that it was still the beautiful simplified Chinese characters, but he could see that they were written in a hurry, and the characters were a bit gesticulated, and there was a typo. Bao Qing couldn't help but smile a little. It turns out that what the letter said was that the imperial court had learned that the Thirteenth Prince had rebelled, and at the same time, Xia Song's 10,000 forbidden troops were put on standby, and an additional 20,000 reinforcements were sent to join Xia Song's 10,000 forbidden troops. Dong Yanran and Bao Liuwen were very worried about Bao Qing and hoped that Bao Qing could return to Beijing as soon as possible. They had already gone around the capital and made inquiries. It is said that the ministers in the court were busy dealing with the rebellion of the Thirteen Princes, and had long forgotten the important imperial case that Bao Qing was responsible for. Bao Qing knew that these princes in the DPRK had not forgotten the important case of imperial orders, but they had forgotten him, the cannon fodder who stood in front of them. For no other reason than that it has no use value. Now the Thirteenth Prince¡¯s rebellion has come to an end.Now that it has been made public, there is no longer any need to hide it, and the court can justifiably suppress the rebellion. Of course, as a cannon fodder, like Zhuang Lei, no one cared about life or death, let alone Cao Qi who was besieged by the Liao army. Zhuang Lei may be fighting for his future with life and death, so Lu Yijian must have promised some benefits, otherwise, Zhuang Lei would not be so stupid. The letter also mentioned a piece of news, that is, the Ninth Prince, the wise king, was very angry when he heard that his brother, the Thirteenth Prince, actually conspired against him. So he took the initiative to ask for a tassel from the official family. As a result, the Ninth Prince, who had played an indispensable role in bringing the emperor to the throne, raised the sword used to kill gods and demons to personally deal with his brother, the Thirteenth Prince.
