The sound of the horn is so long that it seems like your eardrums are beating.
Zhao Jin stood there and looked around. Even though he was fearless, he was a little frightened by the soldiers running around with their weapons.
"Let's go."
Turning around, Yan Rong was standing behind her.
"There's going to be a war, come with me."
Zhao Jin puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction, but finally became discouraged and said, "Bad woman, I'm going back."
"Going back to where?"
"Tiantai Mountain."
Facing Yan Rong, Zhao Jin couldn't explain how he felt in his heart. He hated her for betraying the late emperor and running away with Li Xia, but he could understand it when he thought that she had also been sentenced to death.
But no matter how you put it, this is no longer the person who raised her, tolerated and loved her, and his status is not suitable for her.
All in all, it's good to come here, meet up with each other, and relieve all the worries and grudges.
Thinking like this, she even told Yan Rong something.
"Don't just rely on your beauty to act willfully and bring disaster to the country and the people, like a heartless child. If you offend too many people, what will you do if your appearance fades with age?"
After the explanation, Zhao Jin turned around gracefully.
"Wang Cui, let's go."
"What are we going to do? Can you make it to Tiantai Mountain in this chaotic situation?"
However, Yan Rong was a bit arrogant. He recruited several Yi female soldiers and then held her against her.
"Bad woman, can you still tie me up, Wang Cui..."
Zhao Jin was still shouting, but Wang Cui took her arm and whispered: "Just let her go."
"We agreed not to kill the envoys during the war between the two countries, but you still want to detain me, bad woman..."
"Shut up, you stupid girl. Do you really think you are lucky to be alive in these troubled times? Be honest." Yan Rong held an orchid finger and pressed Zhao Jin's forehead as he walked and cursed.
After being scolded like this, Zhao Jin stopped saying anything and just looked at Yan Rong, feeling that this woman was a little different from before after following Li Xia.
Where his eyes fell, Yan Rong no longer wore a long skirt sweeping the floor. Today, he was wearing a narrow-sleeved Sichuan embroidery polo shirt. It looked a bit neat, but the charming look was clearly still there, with a different charm. J.
The group of people walked quickly and quickly rushed back to the main tent. They saw many soldiers busy, and there was a group of female soldiers near the main tent, protecting a woman on her horse.
Zhao Jin saw the other person at a glance. Although the horns and whistles in the distance were quite scary, she couldn't help but whisper, "She is so beautiful."
"Mount."
Yan Rong gave the order, and soon someone brought the horse. Zhao Jin had played polo in the palace before, and he was also good at riding, but he was not very good.
She finally climbed onto the horse's back. When she turned around, she was surprised to see Yan Rong also climbed onto the back of another horse.
"When did you learn to ride a horse? You are such a delicate person..."
Yan Rong's charming eyes turned to her and he glanced sideways at her. He had no time to pay attention to her and instead started to give instructions to his team of guards.
"Don't pack the baggage too well, it should look like it was evacuated in a hurry."
"yes."
"Where is your Majesty?"
"We went to the observation deck to watch the battle."
"snort."
Yan Rong turned to look at the observation deck, waited for a short moment, and then ordered: "Let's go."
"Protect Concubine Ning, Concubine Shu will leave first."
Zhao Jin turned around and followed Yan Rong's gaze to see the figure on the observation deck not far away, only to realize that Li Xia hadn't left yet.
She thought to herself that it would be better if a stone fell down and killed him.
This team did not gallop, but walked slowly and climbed a hillside called Yangzhujian in the west.
Zhao Jin was not good at riding, and his whole body ached from the bumps. He turned over and dismounted, beating himself up, and followed Yan Rong to look down the mountain.
Her eyes widened, because the battlefield was so big that she couldn't see it clearly. But in fact, it was just a small battle.
At the foot of the mountain, the waves of the Yangtze River flowed with waves. There were many ships on the river flowing down the river. As the rocks from Xisai Mountain fell, some ships sank instantly.
And on the plain where the Yangtze River meets the mountains, billowing dust and smoke are rising, as if two soldiers and horses are chasing each other.
Although the screams and the sound of spores were muffled, the feeling of oppression still came to my face.
The flames of war spread out, covering a radius of more than ten miles, and a person was as small as an ant in it.
Zhao Jin knew that he could easily die. If he had not listened to Yan Rong just now and insisted on returning to Zhejiang, he might have capsized in the river by now.
As a cloud of dust and smoke got closer and closer, soldiers and horses came from the west, holding a tall dragon flag.
That was Li Xia's flag, which seemed a bit shabby to Zhao Jin.
Behind is a larger cloud of dust and smoke, densely packed with countless Song army infantry, chasing Li Xia's big fool.
"The formation is so big, there are 100,000 people, right?" Zhao Jin asked.
She hoped in her heart that the Song army would annihilate Li Xia just like this.
"Less than ten thousand."
Yan Rong was not interested in any of this. He just turned his head and glanced briefly while putting the cloak on Zhao Jin, his tone was very calm.
Zhao Jin saw that she was not worried about Li Xia, and secretly speculated that maybe they had a normal relationship.
As the marching soldiers and horses got closer and closer, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly, making people a little nervous.
suddenly.
"Kill!"
Suddenly there was a shout at the foot of the mountain.
It was not far to the north of Yangzhujian, in a mountain depression called Feiyundong, when a group of rebel troops suddenly came out and attacked the flank of the Song army.
At the same time, several large ships sailed from the river beach upstream...
Even if Zhao Jin didn't know how to fight, he could understand what this formation meant, and he ambushed the Song army who was chasing Li Xia.
"Stop chasing!" Zhao Jin shouted: "There is an ambush, stop chasing!"
But her clear shouts were blown by the mountain wind and quickly dissipated.
Song Jun continued to advance as if he had no eyes.
Standing high up, Zhao Jin was angry and anxious, and could only watch helplessly as the Song army foolishly crashed into the rebel encirclement.
Because of the distance, this battle showed more helplessness than cruelty. From the top of the mountain, people were so small, just a black dot, and the military formation formed by those black dots was so clumsy.
"so stupid!"
Zhao Jin was so angry that he cried.
"Stop crying, you worry so much." Yan Rong patted her back, "Think more about living your own life, and worry less about these things. Your Majesty will come up later and let people see that you are looking forward to Zhao Song's victory.
It’s broken.”
Zhao Jin wiped his eyes, turned around and walked to a rock.
"I know how the royal family members of the subjugated country feel."
"Silly girl, where is your current situation? Compared with the shame of Jingkang, compared with the massacre by the Mongols. If your Majesty can really defeat Lin'an this time, it will be a blessing for the Zhao family and the royal family."
Zhao Jin was speechless.
The two of them were talking here, but they didn't notice that Wang Cui took two steps and stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the battlefield at the foot of the mountain seriously.
I saw that the ambush soldier who rushed out was carrying a general's flag. Naturally, what was written on the flag was the name of the leading general.
The fighting continued into the afternoon.
In the evening, some soldiers rushed to the top of the Yangzhu Peak and strode a few steps to Li Xia.
"Your Majesty, General Lu has captured Lujiazhuang!"
I have to admit that the Song army defended the city really well. If it hadn't been for defeating the Song army today with the help of field battles and then using the defeated troops to break through Lujiazhuang, I don't know how long it would have taken to capture this city fortress.
"First clean up the battlefield, and then move to Xisai Mountain. And send the news back to Ezhou as soon as possible. It's time to boost morale..."
Li Xia was halfway through his instructions when he thought that today was New Year's Eve and said, "Tell the soldiers again that we will reward the three armies at Lujiazhuang tonight."
Because of his words, the army was in an uproar.
Li Xia felt relieved when he heard the cheers.
Even though Fang Yankai said that he was short-sighted and angered Lu Wenhuan, the capture of Xisai Mountain and the seizure of the Lu family's wealth would be enough to solve the current urgent problem of insufficient money and food.
Su Gui,.
"What do you mean when you claim to be emperor and bring peace to the world, you are not just a rebel who robs your family? When you talk about fighting against foreign invaders, the first act of rebellion is to rob the hero's property. I can tell you that Lu Wende was not only a hero of the Song Dynasty, but also a protector of the people of Jiangnan.
"hero"
Li Xia turned around and saw that it was Zhao Jin who was still among the maids behind Yan Rong.
It seemed that he was regarded as some good man and woman, and he was not afraid at all.
Li Xia had to remind her.
"I am the enemy who killed your father and the enemy who destroyed the country. I can kill you or even torture you with just one sentence... Don't take it too easy."
Zhao Jin was stunned and opened his mouth to fight back.
"The whole world belongs to me, the Zhao family, you are the one who betrays me... ugh"
Yan Rong quickly went over and covered her mouth.
"Stop talking. You ungrateful girl, can you just treat yourself as a prisoner?!"
"Ugh, why? I came here on my own."
Zhao Jin was quite honest when he didn't see Li Xia.
She also understood that without Yan Rong's protection, she would not be able to survive in this chaotic place, and it would even be worse. After that, she did not make any more trouble.
When I pass by the battlefield and see the corpses piled up on the roadside, I still feel sad and feel that the war is too cruel. I blame Li Xia for starting the war.
The team entered Lujiazhuang before dark.
It is said to be a village, but it is actually a large city. The city is decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, and the streets are filled with lanterns. It is as prosperous as Lin'an.
Zhao Jin rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dreaming.
One moment there were corpses strewn on the battlefield, but the next moment we were in this wealthy town.
Only the soldiers who escorted the prisoners told her that everything was true.
Groups of people wearing silk and satin were escorted past, shouting curses at Li Xia. The women and children were gathered in several courtyards, crying and yelled at for a few times, and their voices gradually died down.
This sight made Zhao Jin feel suffocated.
She immediately took on the feelings of the Lu family and scolded Li Xia for being a heinous person.
Li Xia was not far in front of her. After listening to a general's report, he ordered Yan Rong to step forward.
"The civil servants brought by the army are not enough. I would like you to help count the treasures."
"I, my concubine, obey your decree."
"You assist and protect Concubine Ning."
Zhao Jin followed and listened, curling his lips.
When she found the opportunity, she said to Yan Rong: "You used to be pampered and pampered in Lin'an, but now you have to fight in wars, escape for your life, travel over mountains and ridges, and do many chores. What's so good about it? A knife."
"It's very good, I'm very happy." Yan Rong smiled after hearing this, and he was so charming.
Zhao Jin could only curse "stupid woman" secretly.
When she followed Yan Rong into a large house, she was shocked.
"Where is this?!"
"Lu Zhai."
As a princess, Zhao Jin knew good things. Turning around to look around at the treasures in the courtyard, she was stunned by the luxury of Lu's house.
"People say that Lu Wende's house is filled with treasures, his products are spread all over the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, and he is extremely rich." This is not a lie."
Yan Rong took an account book,
After walking for a while, a warehouse was pushed open in front of us.
"Concubine Ning, please take a look."
As the boxes were opened one after another, the sky seemed to suddenly light up, and the wealth that filled the hall instantly captivated people's eyes.
"A minister, Zhao Jin, murmured: "A minister, how can he be so rich..."
"Among other things, Lu Wende has captured at least two-thirds of Jinghu's 300,000 yuan quota for raising troops. How much do you think he has?"
Zhao Jin couldn't figure it out.
"People say that Lu Wende is as rich as the country, but I don't think so." Yan Rong said, "You and I know how much money the national treasury has, how can it be half as rich as Lu Wende?"
6$55.
Zhao Jin was just in a daze.
In fact, after leaving Miyagi in these years, many things have changed from what she thought before.
She once thought that her father was the best wise emperor since Jingkang, but later she found out that the people were scolding him for being stupid and immoral.
She once thought that her uncle was a wise minister, but in the past two years while living in seclusion in Tiantai Mountain, she could still hear voices scolding him for mistreating the country.
This time when she went out, everything she saw overturned her understanding.
It turns out that the great hero who defended his country could embezzle nearly half of the army's salary in a year.
shocking.
And not long ago, she mocked Li Xia for only robbing families and homes...
The next moment, Yan Rong suddenly patted Zhao Jin.
"Have you taken the Shexiang Baoxin Pills? It's time for you to take the medicine."
Before Zhao Jin responded, Yan Rong sighed, put down the account book in his hand, took the medicine bottle from Wang Cui's hand, and muttered: "Is your life precious enough to have someone take care of it like this?"
."
"Who wants you to take care of me?" Zhao Jin curled his lips.
"I'm happy, okay."
Yan Rong just said that she was "happy" to Li Xia. At this time, Zhao Jin smiled when he heard that she was treating him like this.
This night is New Year's Eve.
Zhao Jin suddenly thought that it would be good to run out this time, at least he would be reunited with Yan Rong.
As for the disputes in the world and where the Zhao family's country will go, there seems to be very little that she, a little girl, can do.
