Volume 7: Ma Mingfeng Xiaoxiao, The Young Man Raises His Sword
Li Qitan's voice was low and slow. After sighing, he continued: "Chun Yong's righteous demeanor finally moved my father Li Chan's heart to avenge the late lord Han Fu. Although my father concealed He had retired for two or three years, but his foundation in the army was still very deep. That night my father secretly recruited his old troops, and three of the five military governors responded. Of these three, Chunyong was undoubtedly the most active. It was my father and the three of them. Originally, the other two governors said that three of the fifth governors had responded, and it was a secret plot to mutiny and kill Shen Jizhou. It was not easy to involve too much in order to avoid getting wind of it. But Chun Yong had a different view. The late Lord was benevolent and righteous, and everyone in the army was grateful for his virtue. Shen Jizhou was powerful, and with only the strength of three of the five governors, if he was unprepared to attack Shen Jizhou, he might be able to succeed. However, Shen Jizhou had been in the Bohai Sea for several years, and his foundation was It has been stabilized a lot. If Shen Jizhou reacts once, they will not be able to succeed in one blow, and they will probably fall short."
Su Ling smiled when he heard this and said: "What Chunyong said seems to make some sense at first glance..."
Li Qitan nodded and said in a louder voice: "My father Li Chan also thought the same thing as Mr. Su, so he asked Chunyong what his plans were. Chunyong swore to the letter and beat his chest loudly, saying that he wanted to wait for At the moment of revenge, Shen Jizhou started planning when he entered Bohai Sea. If the third governor could not do it, he would go and talk to all the commanders of the fifth army. If he could persuade the other two commanders to come, my father would be in charge, and the commanders of the fifth army would assist him. , with the strength of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, when the time comes one call can be answered by hundreds of people, even if Shen Jizhou reacts, it will be too late."
"Oh? I'm afraid this is the variable... On the surface, Chun Yong told your father about Xiang's remaining two governors, but actually he wanted to make a fuss..." Su Ling He said with determination.
Li Qitan smiled bitterly and said: "When I was young, my father was carried away by the passion for revenge. In addition, Chun Yong behaved so righteously, and my father had always trusted him unconditionally. How could he act like this? Where are the suspicions?"
When Chun Yong heard this in the halberd guard formation, he sneered and said: "The situation in the Bohai Sea is destined to be a great general! You are so young, you don't know your own capabilities, and you try to block the car with your arms and bring about your own destruction. Do you blame others?"
"Bah! Shameless person, if you hadn't been the one to interfere, there's still no telling whose hands this Bohai fell into! Do you think I, Li Qitan, don't know about the good things you did?" Li Qitan spat fiercely. He took a bite from Chunyong and said with a look of disdain.
"What did I do? Then Li Chan overestimated his capabilities and attempted a mutiny. He was defeated and killed. What does it have to do with me?" Chun Yong said sophistry.
"Do you really think that I, Li Qitan, don't know?" Li Qitan stared at Chunyong coldly and said every word.
Then he suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "To this day, if Chun Yong still doesn't admit it, then I will ask you... and those behind him, you blind halberd guards, you know, you know What kind of thing is this deputy governor!"
"That night, Chunyong looked like he was taking care of everything and told my father that he would be responsible for the affairs of the other commanders of the five armies. It would take as little as two days or as much as three days. The good news. My father, Li Chan, was overjoyed. He immediately ordered some warm wine for Chun Yong to drink. He even told him in a serious voice that the matter was serious and it was important to be cautious. Once exposed, the Han family would have no chance of returning to the Bohai Sea. Chunyong took the wine, drank it all in one gulp, and immediately swore that he would not do his best and would raise his head to see me."
When Li Qitan said this, she slowly closed her eyes and seemed to recall: "I was still young at that time, and Ying Niang was even younger. But I will never forget it. That night was extremely cold and unbearable, and both Ying Niang and I were both
When I was young, I went back to my room to sleep early, but couldn't fall asleep. So Ying Niang and I sneaked to my father's study and eavesdropped on their conversation that night.
, I realized that my father’s lifelong ambition was to restore the Han family in Bohai... Although I was young, I also knew about Ying Niang’s life experience. From that time on, I made up my mind that Ying Niang was innocent, and I
Li Qitan will love her and protect her all his life, and will spare no effort to return the Han family in Bohai to her! When Bohai is restored, that will be the day I marry her!"
Li Qitan's voice was calm, but every word was filled with deep emotion and deep in his heart.
In the bamboo forest, there was no one who did not sigh with emotion.
"That night, my father left Chun Yong alone for a long time, giving instructions over and over again, until the tears in the red candle were gone and the night was dark. Ying Niang and I hid under the window, and it was not until my father sent Chun Yong out that my father discovered that at this time
It was already snowing heavily outside, and under the red light, the snow was long and white everywhere. That scene was recorded in my heart, and I will never forget it until now..."
Li Qitan paused for a moment, then said quietly: "Dark night with white snow, red lights and cold plum blossoms. Amidst the wind and snow, my father and this Chun Yong bowed to each other in the snow, and Chun Yong turned around and walked away, above the snow.
, his footprints lead from under the red light to the dark place
The dark distance... And my father Li Chan, even after Chunyong left for a long time, he still stood alone under the cold snow under the lonely lamp, and stayed away for a long time. That night, the sky was cold and chilly, and I
Father’s head is covered with snow…”
"Later, my father accidentally saw Ying Niang and I hiding in the back of the room, and then he called us out. I thought that my father would blame Ying Niang and me for not going to sleep peacefully, but I never thought that he would just stare.
I glanced at her, then picked up Ying Niang and raised her up in the air. Her eyes were full of adoration, and she burst out laughing. There were even tears in her eyes when she smiled.
Flowers, in my memory, this was the first time my father laughed so heartily since the death of my late uncle Han Fu... He solemnly told Ying Niang, he said, it won't be long before Ying Niang and we are together.
Being able to walk openly and openly in every place in Bohai City, Ying Niang can even accept the worship of thousands of people from the five states of Bohai..."
When Li Qitan said this, tears seemed to flash in his eyes. He sighed and said: "It's a shame that my father is about to die but he doesn't know it. He thought that the work was done and he could comfort the soul of the late lord in heaven."
..."
Su Ling also sighed slowly: "If all the commanders-in-chief of the five armies are willing to rebel, the mutiny has a real chance of winning... But you still underestimated Shen Jizhou. If you take ten thousand steps back and speak, all the commanders-in-chief of the five armies will listen.
Your Majesty, at best, you will be caught off guard and be defeated in Bohai City. You want to recover all five states... but it is just a dream..."
Li Qitan nodded and said: "Su Ling, what you said is not bad... It's just that the past has passed, so what use are these words now? At that time, my father was bent on revenge, and even more so
The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. He knows in his heart that he will eventually fail, but even if the chance of winning is slim, he still has to give it a try..."
Li Qitan added: "After that night, only two days later, Chunyong came to see my father again. I was also present at the time. I heard what they said clearly and clearly. Chunyong told my father that after
He understood it with reason and moved it with emotion. Now, all the commanders-in-chief of the five armies are willing to switch sides and serve my father.
Order to regain the old master of Bohai... My father was overjoyed. Chun Yong added that it should not be delayed, otherwise things will change. The commanders of the five armies have reached an agreement. Five days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the full moon of the Lantern Festival
At night, a mutiny was launched, and at that time the fireworks were used as a signal, and all five armies came out to kill Shen Jizhou!"
"What you are planning to do is to kill Shen Fuhan. Just because Chunyong said that all the commanders of the five armies are willing to obey orders, you agree to mutiny in five days? It is too childish to decide such a big event so hastily... "Your father's defeat is reasonable..." Su Ling sighed.
Li Qitan smiled bitterly and said: "My father is upright and honest, how can he know those insidious tricks? Hearing what Chunyong said, he had no doubts, so he decided to take action five days later, on the night of the full moon during the Lantern Festival. "
"That night, thousands of families had fireworks, the sound of firecrackers, white snow lanterns, reunions and harmony. But I remember that in my Li Mansion, my father gathered the soldiers and horses of the two governors, but Chun Yong, unknown, said that he and my father were separated. Let's go and gather the troops of the other two governors. When the time comes, they will move together to cover the south gate and the north gate. They can defeat the general's mansion in one fell swoop. Since five days ago, heavy snow has been falling continuously. It is late at night during the Lantern Festival and the snow is getting worse. "Da, I was holding Ying Niang's hand and standing in the snow. I saw my father wearing heavy armor, carrying a sword and mounting a horse. The soldiers and horses behind him were moving at the sound of the wind. The high-spirited momentum was deeply engraved in my heart."
When Li Qitan said this, his voice became extremely passionate.
"At that time, as my father raised his arms and shouted, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all chanted slogans, and the high-spirited voice was shocking to the heart. The slogan was: Kill the sinking and restore Korea, and return our mountains and rivers! The body and bones were shattered, but the ambition is not extinguished! The officers and soldiers of the three armies The sound shook the sky and lingered for a long time. I looked around, and the scene was always in my heart, and I dared not forget it."
"The cold wind is blowing, the fierce horses are neighing, the three armies are killing each other, the swords are fierce in the snow, and the murderous aura is high."
Li Qitan slowly narrated, and everyone felt as if they were on the scene, as if they had returned to that full-moon night. Under the white snow in front of them, there were fierce swords and murderous intent, and the three armies were high-spirited.
"The new energy spreads to the gold watch, and the cold light shines on the iron clothes... Your Majesty is truly a general who knows how to fight!" Su Ling couldn't stop praising him.
"But... such a general who had fought all his life, loved his troops and knew them well... still died... In this world, the truly capable people will never Depressed and frustrated, those humble people, those who flatter, flatter, hypocritical and cunning people, such as this mediocre person, can rise step by step and become a successful person! Su Ling, what kind of world is this? How can there be fairness in this world? Can you say that?" Li Qitan's eyes were as cold as light, and his voice could not hide the sadness, anger and desolation.
"Alas... My father Li Chan's defeat in the past and my death today, Li Qitan, are the result of the lack of eyes in the sky, which makes the villain rampant..." Li Qitan looked at the sky and remained silent for a long time. .
Finally, he calmed down and continued: "I was still young at the time, but I still knew that my father was going here to fight to the death. Maybe I would never see him again... So I I cried and stopped my father's horse to prevent him from leaving. My father dragged me away at every turn. I remember that I refused to obey and cried heartbreakingly. But my father's heart was as strong as iron. He gave the death order. Those who The soldiers dragged me down, and the snow on the ground poured into my clothes, and it was bitingly cold..."
"After I was dragged down, my father thought there was no more resistance, so he wanted to order the troops to be sent out, but suddenly he saw a scene... That scene still appears vividly in front of my eyes to this day, just like yesterday... ....”
"Amidst the heavy snowfall, Lady Ying was holding a bowl. The bowl was still steaming slightly, but her hand holding the bowl was already red from the cold..."
Li Qitan paused, her voice trembling.
"In the heavy snow, little Ying Niang held the bowl and walked slowly to my father's horse head. Then she raised the bowl high above her head and said softly to my father...
"
"She said, Uncle Li Shi... Today is the Lantern Festival, the day when thousands of families are reunited, but you have to go to the battlefield to kill thieves for Ying Niang... She said, Ying Niang has nothing to repay, and I sincerely serve the Lantern Festival
A bowl... She said, Uncle Li Shi... please have a taste... Ying Niang is waiting for you to come back victorious! She said, with you by your side, it is...
