Chapter 256 Possessing Shu is not dead
Zhao Shu immediately blocked the news about Zhao Yan's disappearance, only he and Han Qi and other important ministers knew about it. In addition, Zhao Shu also immediately gave Zhao Xu an imperial edict to let him leave the Liao Kingdom quickly. After all, the Liao Kingdom is full of wars, and God knows whether Yelu Chongyuan will fight to Shangjing. As the quasi-president of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu naturally cannot stay there anymore.
Of course, Zhao Shu did not forget the missing Zhao Yan, so while issuing an order to Zhao Xu, he also sent an official to urge the Liao Kingdom instead of Zhao Xu. In addition, Huang Wude was ordered to stay there by Zhao Shu. He could not come back before Zhao Yan was found.
Zhao Xu, who was far away in Liao Kingdom, received his father's order, did not want to leave, but Zhao Shu's imperial edict was very strict. Although he was Zhao Yan's elder brother, he was also the future emperor of the Song Dynasty. Everything must be put first. The Liao Kingdom is no longer safe, so Zhao Xu must return to the Song Dynasty immediately.
It was also under such circumstances that after thinking for a few days, Zhao Xu finally decided to return to the Song Dynasty. However, before leaving, he entered the palace to meet Yelu Jun, who had ascended the throne as emperor, and asked him to send additional personnel to find Zhao Yan. Because the Liao Kingdom is in a rebellion, the previous throne ceremony of Yelu Jun was very hasty. Fortunately, most of the envoys who came to congratulate Yelu Hongji on his birthday have not left yet, so it is quite grand.
Yelu Jun naturally agreed to Zhao Xu's request. In fact, he was very anxious because he had learned from his mother Xiao Guanyin that his sister Princess Zheng had escaped with Zhao Yan, and now both of them were missing. If they were both dead, the Liao Kingdom would be nothing, but it would probably make the Song Dynasty very dissatisfied with it, and even let the Song Dynasty break up completely and seize the land of Yanbei in Liao's internal chaos. If they were both alive, he was even more worried. You should know that Zhao Yan and the Zheng Kingdom were the same age as the only one who did something, they would probably be embarrassed.
Although Zhao Xu did not believe Yelu Jun's guarantee, in this situation, he could only choose to trust the other party. After all, it was impossible to turn through the dense forests in Huang Long Mansion with the little manpower arranged by Huang Wude in the Liao Kingdom.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Xu returned to the inn, he immediately asked someone to pack up his greetings and prepare to leave. However, before leaving, he called Huang Wude to give advice. The main reason was to ask him to try his best to find Zhao Yan's traces. In fact, he didn't need his orders at all. Huang Wude would do his best to search for it. After all, Zhao Shu had issued an order. Before he found Zhao Yan, he, the leader of the Imperial City Department, could not go back. In addition, he had a good relationship with Zhao Yan, so in terms of relationship, he also hoped to find Zhao Yan and go back.
When the next morning, Zhao Xu finished washing and was about to leave the inn. Just when he was having breakfast, he suddenly heard a noise outside, as if Huang Wude was scolding someone, which made Zhao Xu a little surprised. After finishing breakfast, he happened to see Huang Wude coming in from outside and asked: "Five Des, I just heard that you were scolding someone outside. Did the guard make a mistake?"
Hearing Zhao Xu's question, Huang Wude immediately bowed and replied, "Your Highness, it's just a trivial matter. Just now, an envoy from the northern tribe of the Liao Kingdom came outside the door and said that he had thrown a bracelet at the birthday party, and he kept saying that it was picked up by the prince, so he came to us to ask for his bracelet. But I see that he was just crazy. As a prince, how could he fall in love with something like savage?"
Zhao Xu was also stunned when he heard this, and frowned and asked, "What kind of tribe is this messenger? Why must his third brother picked up his bracelet?"
"This..." Huang Wude frowned and thought for a while when he heard this, and finally remembered, "Your Highness, the other party seemed to say that he was an envoy of the Wanyan tribe. His name seemed to be Posaishu. He was wearing animal skins. He knew it was a savage tribe in the north at first sight. In addition, he also said that someone saw the prince picking up his bracelet at that time, but I think this was impossible. With the prince's eyes, I'm afraid that even if the savage gave it to the prince, the prince would not accept it."
"Wanyan's tribe? It's quite sarcastic?" Zhao Xu repeated the two names and finally remembered it. On the first day of the birthday party, it seemed that the envoy of the Wanyan's tribe had a conflict with the envoy of the Western Xia, and was beaten. At that time, he and Zhao Yan had looked at it for a while. As for whether Zhao Yan had picked up things from the ground, he didn't pay attention.
Thinking of the Potaku Shu being beaten by the envoy of the Western Xia, but she didn't dare to fight back. Now she had the courage to run to the Song Dynasty mission to ask for something, Zhao Xu couldn't help but get angry. He immediately ordered Huang Wude in a stern tone: "Five Des, when encountering such unreasonable savages in the future, let the guards beat the generals directly, so as not to break in and weaken the title of our Song Dynasty mission."
"Yes, I obey the order!" Huang Wude agreed immediately when he heard this, but he soon thought of another thing and hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, as far as I know, the Wanyan tribe seems to be a tribe in the Huanglong Mansion. Can we use the power of these tribes to find the whereabouts of the prince?"
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up when he heard Huang Wude's suggestion. But then he shook his head and said, "No, savage tribes like Wanyan tribes have never been convinced by Wang Hua. Even the Khitans think they are savages. If these people know that the third brother falls on their side, it may bring danger to the third brother. Therefore, in the matter of finding the third brother, except for our confidant and Yelu Jun's people, they must not be easily spread out!"
Huang Wude immediately nodded when he heard this. In fact, he also knew that using Wanyan’s troops might bring danger to Zhao Yan. However, there was no one available in his hands now, so he thought of this method. It is reasonable to be rejected by Zhao Xu.
Just as Zhao Xu was about to leave, Posaishu, who had just left, limped back to his residence. Although the Wanyan tribe was insignificant to the Liao Kingdom, he arrived as an envoy after all, so Posaishu also lived in the inn. However, compared with the Song Dynasty and Xixia, he could only live in the most remote corner of the inn.
Compared to the birthday party before, Potashu now looks much haggard and has injuries on his body. For example, his right leg is a bit inconvenient, and he limps when walking. In addition, under the invisible clothes, there are many knife injuries, especially on his chest, and there are even a knife wound from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, which almost broke his belly.
The source of the injuries on Potashe's body was a bit complicated. At the birthday party, he accidentally threw wine on the Xixia envoy, and was beaten. Most of them were skin injuries, but the leg was severe and he could not get out of bed the next day. When Yelu Chongyuan's rebels killed the palace, a team of rebels happened to kill him. As a result, several members of the Wanyan tribe who came with Potasheshe finally died in battle in order to protect him. He also tried to get a few stabs, so he let the brought Hai Dongqing go away to report the news. At that time, he thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, the rebels suddenly retreated, which made him escape his life.
At that time, Potassus was seriously injured. If it were another person, he would probably not be able to escape death. Fortunately, their Jurchens were healthy and were usually injured in hunting. In the end, Potassus survived with his tenacious vitality. Even the imperial doctors of the Liao Kingdom were a little amazed at his recovery speed.
Thinking of the thrilling dangers he experienced in that rebellion, Potashu couldn't help but feel a little scared. He originally planned to take care of his injuries and leave as soon as possible, but yesterday, a tribal envoy who had been with him told him that the bracelet he threw when he was beaten by the envoy of Xixia that day should have been picked up by the Prince of Guangyang, the Song Dynasty.
Originally, if it were a string of ordinary bracelets, Potashu would not have bothered to search for it, but his bracelet was a relics left by his father. Each of their brothers had one, so Potashu kept asking around after he threw the bracelet. He had no hope at all, but he didn't expect that he would get the news of the bracelet in the end. So he went to the Song Dynasty mission to ask for his bracelet this morning. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Zhao Yan was missing, so he was naturally driven out by Huang Wude.
Thinking of his experience during this period, Potassus couldn't help but feel a little angry. He was already a coward who was beaten for no reason by the Western Xia envoy. Later, he encountered an unrestrained disaster like Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion. Today, he asked for his own things from the Song Dynasty, but was driven out. This made Potassus deeply realize his weakness. If their Wanyan tribe was also a giant like the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, these things would probably not have happened.
"Wait, our descendants of Wanyan tribe will definitely seek justice for me today!" Posaishu said viciously at the end, but he said these words just to comfort himself, because even he would not believe that Wanyan tribe will really sweep the world in decades.
Although Potashu's injuries have not healed yet, he does not intend to stay any longer. The main reason is that the situation in the Liao Kingdom needs to be sent back to the tribe as soon as possible. Especially the rebellion of Yelu Chongyuan is also a great news for the Wanyan tribe. Maybe they can take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits, so naturally the earlier they go back, the better.
It is precisely because of this that Posaishu ignored his injuries and after packing up his own things, he almost left the capital with Zhao Xu one after another. However, Zhao Yan, who was far away in Wanyan's department, did not know that the lies he made were facing the danger of being exposed.
