Bao Qing called Cao Yun and asked Cao Yun to write a letter. Looking at the beautiful handwriting, Bao Qing couldn't help but admire it. He didn't expect that Cao Yun's hands could actually write such beautiful words. "Brother Bao, although I am good at playing knives and guns, in the early years, my father often forced my sister and me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting together." Cao Yun smiled shyly. "Really or not? Do you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Can you play the flute?" Bao Qing blinked and asked. "I know a little bit, but I can't play as well as my sister!" The letter Bao Qing asked Cao Yun to write was for Li Qing to take away. The letter mentioned such things: the princess was safe and sound and was with the Thirteenth Prince, and Hong Ba's son had been rescued by the Thirteenth Prince, who was in Yizhou at this time. The letter specifically instructed Li Qing to take over the two reinforcements, and Hong Ba to lead the troops to Yizhou to join the Thirteenth Prince. After Bao Qing read the letter carefully, he pressed the Dragon's Birthday Jade Pendant, and a small red dragon jumped into his eyes. "When you see Hong Ba, give him the letter and don't explain anything! If he wants to ask you about the prince, just say that the prince's hand is injured." Bao Qing could not force the thirteenth prince to write the letter in person, so he had to lie. The king's hand was injured. I hope that Cao Yun¡¯s female handwriting will make Hong Ba mistakenly think that it was written by the princess. Bao Qing knew very well that Li Qing didn¡¯t know much about the situation, so he might be able to deceive him by pretending to be quiet and silent. "You should also hold the jade pendant. If you have to, don't show it to others! Hong Ba may be shocked by your appearance, but I believe it will be more of awe." Hong Ba may have never expected that Li Qing, whom he had been getting rid of, would actually be ten The third prince's people. Perhaps Li Qing's appearance brought Hong Ba not suspicion, but more awe. Of course, Bao Qing did not continue talking to Li Qing, because it was very possible that his speculation was completely wrong, and this jade pendant was not a token at all. Li Qing will probably be killed as soon as he sees Hong Ba. Therefore, after Li Qing left, what he wanted to do was to quickly gather Li Qing's troops, find a place to hide first, and then wait for news. "The only contact point is the contact point we set up at the beginning. It should be safe there. If you have any news, let the people from the dynasty pass the news over." Bao Qing finally warned. When Li Qing left, Zhang Long was a little reluctant to leave. Bao Qing smiled and patted Zhang Long on the shoulder and said, "Don't act like a girl! Commander Li is not Jing Ke! Don't worry." Li Qing smiled bitterly, and then Half-kneeling, he saluted Bao Qing and said, "If you go here, you will definitely succeed! Take care, sir!" Cao Yun's eyes couldn't help but moisten when she saw this scene. Li Qing led several personal guards on horseback. After a beat, it slowly disappeared into the cold grassland. Zhang Long kept watching his old Shangguan leave, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Who is Jing Ke?" After noon, according to the agreement with Diligu, the Liao people's grain and grass transport officer, Bao Qing needed to take someone disguised as a businessman to go to Yi. The state grain road exchanged tea for grain. This transaction surprised Bao Qing. Just one day later, Diligu was actually promoted and became the general manager of the Yizhou Grain Road. Diligu was in charge of the food transportation four times a day. . "Brother Qian's General Tea is really good. I want to increase the transaction volume this time. I wonder if Brother Qian is willing." Diligu said. It was trading time, so Jia Dahu must have followed. Sure enough, Jia Dahu pulled Bao Qing and said, "The Liao people want to quadruple the trading volume. Brother Qian, this is a good thing! Master Diligu said that this will happen every day in the future." "Brother Qian, you can go back early to stock up." "The goods are not a problem. Brother Jia, I would like to ask if you can ask Mr. Diligu to issue a pass to us. Yesterday we met a group of nearly four to five thousand people. The Liao army caused great harm to us and took away all the goods. It seems that we cannot complete today's transaction so easily." Bao Qing pretended to be innocent. Jia Dahu told Dili Gu about this matter, but he didn't expect that Diligu immediately agreed without saying a word. Here they were busy asking about the number of people in the caravan, the name of the trading company, etc., and asked Bao Qing to send someone to follow him to the camp not far away to pick it up. Bao Qing nuzzled at Zhang Long. Zhang Long understood and followed the Liao people. This transaction was very successful, but Bao Qing¡¯s tea leaves were all used up. Maybe there will be no need to trade tomorrow, Bao Qing thought. Within half an hour, Zhang Long came back with the so-called pass. "Sir, that camp is not far from here. It is a food transfer point for the Liao people. It should be the transfer point of the Yizhou grain road. I took a look secretly and found that the food storage capacity of the Liao people is at least five days. The amount transported should be five days of grain storage, and the grain traded just came from there," Zhang Long said. Bao Qing nodded and said: "I didn't expect that we were afraid that we would be in danger if we were too close to Yizhou. We didn't expect that such a large grain center would be dangerous."The station is not far ahead of us. " "Sir, the four or five thousand Liao people's food protection team should all be camping at the grain transfer station. Judging from the number of camps, there are about four or five thousand people. "Zhang Long said. At night, Bao Qing couldn't sleep. It has been two days, and the spies he sent to monitor the Liao army still haven't reported back yet. Could it be that they all died? None of them came back? "Sir, grown ups! "Zhang Long shouted outside the tent again. Bao Qing snorted and said, "Come in quickly! " "Sir, the people monitoring the Liao army are back! " "How many come back? Bao Qing asked anxiously. "Only one person!" " "Let him in quickly! "Bao Qing got up and got out of bed, wrapping his body in clothes. At this time, a dusty soldier walked into the camp and saluted. Bao Qing raised his hand and signaled him to speak quickly. "Sir, the Liao people are here. There is still no movement yet. Six of us have gone there. Two brothers were discovered by enemy scouts and shot to death. The four of us stayed at the Liao people's house for more than a day, but there was no movement! " Bao Qing asked, shook his head, and said to himself: "That shouldn't be the case. The Liao people should take action. What is Hong Ba doing? I believe that Li Qing will arrive in one day. The Ninth Prince and Xia Song's army are probably coming too. " By noon on the second day, all the troops under Li Qing's command had arrived and were now under the command of Zhang Long. There was no movement from the Liao army. Bao Qing couldn't help but wonder whether these thirteen princes had anything to do with the Liao army. Collusion, but it's unreasonable to say that there is no collusion. How can Hong Ba and the two armies fight against the imperial court? And if they don't collude, what kind of tunnel will the Thirteenth Prince go to see Mrs. Yelu? For what reason? Haven't the two parties reached an agreement yet? The Thirteenth Prince was planning to go to Yizhou to negotiate, but Zhuang Lei attacked Hong Ba first, forcing him to dig a tunnel. In fact, Bao Qing still didn't understand? There is a problem, and that is the Plum Blossom Gang. It seems that the Plum Blossom Gang has nothing to do with the Thirteenth Prince. No clues have been found yet. Of course, this silence does not mean that the Plum Blossom Gang has gone silent. He stopped all kinds of activities, but he was just waiting for the opportunity to make bigger moves. While Bao Qing was waiting anxiously, he received news from Ma Han from the dynasty. Ma Han met Fan Zhongyan and General Fan Zhongyan. The details were written into a letter, and the letter was sent to Bao Qing. Bao Qing hurriedly opened the letter. The letter told in detail about the thirteenth prince, Zhao Dexin, who was the youngest of Emperor Taizong. The son was also the most favored son of Emperor Taizong. It is said that the thirteenth prince Zhao Dexin was able to learn martial arts at a very young age. He wanted to pass the throne to him. Of course, when the late emperor succeeded to the throne, he also took great care of his younger brother. Fan Zhongyan also mentioned that the late emperor once wanted to pass the throne to the thirteenth prince, but the thirteenth prince refused. After reading the letter, Bao Qing was shocked and felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart. No wonder the Thirteenth Prince regretted not accepting the throne. Then the previous suspicions about the Thirteenth Prince and the performance of the Liao people and the Plum Blossom Gang make sense. However, what is still difficult to explain is that Hong Ba and Long Dan Jade Pendant, and why Hong Ba wanted to assassinate him in the first place. Two lines of reinforcements were attracted. If it wasn't for rebellion, how could he dare to mobilize troops without permission? And what happened to the Dragon's Birthday Jade Pendant? He couldn't wait any longer, so Bao Qing decided to ask the Thirteenth Prince again.
