After the prince was bound, Quan Xiang ordered his followers to be arrested, so that all the generals would have the military power and delay the plan.
The eldest son, Yun, was sixteen years old. He watched the battle in Huaixi from Shi. He was known for his bravery. Watching Duo gained his strength and loved him very much. There was a female named Yujin, who was seventeen years old. She was also good at fighting. She wore silver armor and rode on horseback.
White horses, armed with spears and bows, came out side by side with the clouds, regardless of Xuan Jin.
In the thirteenth year of Tongtai's reign, the Empress Dowager wanted to make Yun Shang Shuning Princess Shu Ning, the virtuous Shu Yiwen, and everyone envied her. Yun Du was unwilling and said to his father: "I would like to marry someone who has the same ideals as my wife." Gong and Guan had already agreed with each other, so they agreed.
Xu Zhi.
When the imperial envoy arrived in Shouchun, he loved his daughter and wanted to hand her over to the custody of the imperial envoy. When Yu Jin heard about this, he was so angry that he carried her daughter out of the city regardless of his body weight. He was so righteous and loyal that the imperial envoy sent troops to chase her.
The dead and wounded were all gone, and there was no trace of the two women. The imperial envoy was afraid that the cloud would not allow him to be bound, so he ordered Guanti's army to arrive at Zhongli.
Seeing that it was late, he raised his troops after five days and arrived at Zhongli. Yun had been waiting for a long time. After hearing the imperial edict, he said: "Lu's loyalty is shared by heaven and man." So he calmly tied up. At that time, Yun led the flying cavalry camp, with elite crowns.
In the Jianghuai area, all the troops wanted to intercept it, but they were ordered to return to camp, but no one dared to stop them. Their reputation was at this point.
——"History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties: Biography of Duke Zhongwu"
The third day of October, Chuzhou.
Pei Yun stood on the Zhenhuai Tower, depressed, and the autumn colors in front of him had lost their luster. The results of the Jingxiang War had already reached his ears, and he was dumbfounded by the complexity of the war. Lu Can sent troops out of Yiyang, took advantage of the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, and then
The fierce battle in Gucheng, the confrontation in Xiangyang, all the changes were eye-catching, and the loss of Xiangyang was even more puzzling, until we learned that Lu Can was relieved of military power by Zhao Long, the leader of the Southern Chu Kingdom, and summoned to Jianye
, Pei Yuncai vaguely understood that the bloody battle between Jingxiang and Xiangyang was all because of Lu Can. But even after he figured this out, Pei Yun became more and more horrified.
Military strategists say that Jingxiang is the most important place in the world. The Yangtze River runs from east to west and connects Wu and Shu. It is also convenient to enter Hunan and Jiangxi from the river; the Han River meanders from Jiangxia to the north to the northwest, and flows from the northwest of Xiangyang to Hanzhong.
From Guanzhong, go north to Nanyang and Luoyang, and there are all passages by water or land. If you want to conquer the world, you must occupy Jingxiang. Whenever the world is divided and the princes are separatist, Jingxiang is the first battlefield to bear the brunt. Within Jingxiang,
Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Jiangxia are all important military towns, and Xiangyang is the most important military town. Southern Chu occupies Xiangyang, which can go north to the Central Plains, and Dayong occupies Xiangyang, which can deter Jingxiang. As early as the beginning of Dayong's founding,
I always watched Xiangyang, but at that time, Xiangyang was guarded by Prince Zhao Jue of Germany and was as stable as Mount Tai. Yong's army was repeatedly frustrated under the deep fortress of Xiangyang's strong city. I don't know how many warriors fell into the sand. Xiangyang was the hatred in the hearts of Yong's soldiers.
It wasn't until the eighth year of the Longsheng period that Jiang Zhe devised a plan to use Yang Xiu's opportunity to attack Huaidong to lure the enemy northward, and then took advantage of the opportunity to capture Xiangyang. Once Xiangyang fell into the hands of Dayong, Southern Chu had no chance to counterattack. Although Lu
Can defended Jiangnan with impregnable strength, but he was unable to endanger Dayong's foundation.
Given the importance of Xiangyang, even Emperor Yong's personal expedition would not dare to abandon such an important town easily. However, Jiang Zhe actually used such an important place as a bait and let it go. Although Xiangyang was finally taken back, after the fire, only the dilapidated city was left.
, the people of Xiangyang migrated south one after another, and it would be difficult for Xiangyang to restore its old outlook within a few years. Regardless of Jiang Zhe's great work, what worries Pei Yun even more is that according to the news he received from Shaolin, Emperor Yong and Li Zhi of this battle had not
Without knowing it, Jiang Zhe was pretending to do it. Regardless of the thrill of this battle, Jiang Zhe's courage frightened Pei Yun. If Emperor Yong questioned him, it would probably be a serious crime that would be difficult to escape.
If you were someone else, you might still watch with cold eyes. Jiang Zhe's favor has already made many people dissatisfied. When the war was coming to an end, he was still swimming in the mountains and rivers without asking about military affairs, which led to many impeachment memorials in Emperor Yong's case.
, now that he has committed such a serious crime, I am afraid that even Princess Changle of Ning State cannot protect him. Some people may want to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury, but Pei Yun cannot think so. Regardless of the fact that Jiang Zhe's son Jiang Shen is a close disciple of his mentor, he is the one who
In the past few years, Jiang Zhe has been taking care of him. Three years ago, Yang Xiu attacked Chuzhou and Pei Yun could be said to have been defeated in the battle of Sizhou. Moreover, Luo Jing, the governor of Chuzhou County, was assassinated beforehand, which greatly offended the country.
Uncle Gao Rong, coupled with the defeat of Yangzhou, many ministers in the court wrote to order Emperor Yong to punish Pei Yun. If not for Jiang Zhe, Emperor Yong would still remember his past rescue efforts, and I am afraid that Pei Yun would be in jail now.
Guilty minister. In the past few years, Pei Yun has been recharging his energy and the Xuzhou camp has regained its combat strength. It is the time when he is eager to fight. If Jiang Zhe is demoted, Pei Yun is afraid that he will also be implicated. Once he loses his military power, wouldn't he have no power anymore?
It was a chance to wash away the humiliation of defeat, so compared to ordinary people, Pei Yun was most worried about Jiang Zhe's situation.
Pei Yun, who was so worried, didn't even hear Du Lingfeng's footsteps going up the stairs. He didn't react until Du Lingfeng's voice came to his ears. He only heard Du Lingfeng's report: "General, a letter has arrived from Xuzhou. Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
After passing the decree, he reprimanded the Prince of Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Changsun. The Marquis of Jiang was demoted by two levels of nobility, and later an edict was issued to remove the Marquis from the post of Counselor of Jiangnan."
Pei Yun was shocked, but he hid his worries and said with a serious face: "It is inevitable that the Holy Emperor is so angry. Is there no one in the court to protect the memorial? In any case, Xiangyang is still in the hands of our army."
Du Lingfeng hesitated for a moment and said: "The news from Chang'an said that the emperor was furious when he heard the battle report. Although Shi Xiang and other lords were calm, Xiahou Yuanfeng of Mingjian Division took the opportunity to criticize Jianghou for being negligent.
In order to fulfill his duties, he also reported the whereabouts of Marquis Jiang in the past three years one by one. The emperor was furious and issued an edict to reprimand the Marquis. He also wanted to remove the Marquis from his post. If Shi Xiang had not begged for mercy, he would have lost the title of Marquis of the countryside.
There’s no way to save it.”
Pei Yun sighed softly in his heart, turned his eyes, and saw that Du Lingfeng also had a look of uneasiness on his face, so he smiled and said: "Since you last accompanied Marquis Jiang to Xiangyang, you have been trembling even when you mention Marquis Jiang's name. Now Marquis Jiang has been
Sin, you should be happy, but why are you like this?"
Du Lingfeng said in surprise: "It's no wonder Ling Feng, my uncle didn't know that the last time he went to Xiangyang with Jianghou, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. At that time, Jingxiang was still a part of Nanchu, and Jianghou actually stayed in Xianshan for many days. In the disciple's heart
He was always worried that if the Chu army found out that Marquis Jiang had been harmed, not to mention his life, he was afraid that the division would be harmed. However, Marquis Jiang did not care about us guards at all, and even went to look at Xiangyang City Tower from a distance.
General Hu Yan and several of the bodyguards were also trembling with fear, fearing that something would happen. No wonder people said that Jiang Hou had a weird temperament, and Ling Feng just hoped that he would never have to serve him again. But now that Jiang Hou was convicted, his disciples felt uneasy.
It’s not for the sake of his uncle. He has always regarded fame and wealth very lightly. The emperor also values his uncle very much. Even if he is implicated, it won’t be a serious problem. But for some reason, the disciple always feels that Jiang Hou
If you are demoted, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous."
Pei Yun's heart suddenly moved. He didn't expect that his nephew, who was always straightforward and not very scheming, would have such spiritual thoughts. Back then, his master, Master Cizhen, once said that Jiang Zhe was a man of profound wisdom, deep scheming, feminine and cunning, and there were evil shadows around him.
If a master like Li Shun was not bound and allowed to be free, a single thought would lead to shocking chaos. Fortunately, this person was used by Emperor Yong. Although it was a pity for the heroes of the world, it was unparalleled in that he could unify the country.
Merits, and this person is restrained by imperial power, which can also eliminate many hidden dangers. He just learned that Jiang Hou was demoted, and he was worried in his heart. If Jiang Zhe alienated Yong Ting because of this, and even escaped into the lake, I am afraid it would not be the luck of the world. Unexpectedly
Du Lingfeng also vaguely thought of this. It seems that after many years of experience, this nephew is no longer the reckless young man he used to be. He smiled slightly and said, "Come to my place these days in the evening. I want to see your arrival."
Du Lingfeng was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that his uncle was going to teach him martial arts, so he couldn't help but gear up. Pei Yun looked at it and smiled secretly in his heart, saying: "Okay, I'm a little tired too, let's go to Dujialou for a drink." Since three years ago.
After the sudden change in Chuzhou, the Du Family Restaurant became famous in Jianghuai. Zhuang Qingpu's righteous act of revenge for his teacher and the green plum wine of Du Family Restaurant were praised in Jianghuai. Even Pei Yun now loves this wine deeply, but he has a prominent reputation and is inconvenient to drink it often.
He just went to the restaurant. He was feeling depressed today, so he wanted to go to Dujialou to relax.
Although Dujialou is well-known in Jianghuai, it is still the same as it was in the past. It has not been expanded, and the green plum wine has not been brewed as many jars as before. Although the shopkeeper Du is a businessman, he has quite the style of the forest.
If you are not a talented person, you will not be able to buy a bottle of green plum wine even if you pay a lot of money. If you are a suave and romantic person, you can still get a bottle of fine wine even if you are penniless. In this way, the reputation of green plum wine becomes more and more famous, and many people cannot drink it.
Ordinary people who drink green plum wine will probably drink a few cups of Dujia's aged wine. Dujialou is almost crowded. If you don't book a table in advance, you will definitely be turned away. But Pei Yun naturally doesn't have to worry, there is a restaurant upstairs.
The seat head is left idle all year round, just to be on guard against people like Pei Yun, or famous people from Jianghuai who come by chance but have no seats.
After changing into casual clothes and walking on the street, Pei Yun felt much better. When he arrived at Du's house, shopkeeper Du came out to greet him after hearing the news, but there was a strange look on his face. Pei Yun didn't pay attention and just walked up to the second floor.
, then I heard a clear and gentle voice saying: "The mist locks the Qin Tower in the morning, adding to the sorrow of separation. The wind pours the cup into the golden pot. It is difficult to stay after singing in the sun. This hatred is long. The sleeves are full of green plums, and there are sparse snow flakes. It has been brewed for many years.
Make the wine of the Du family. After drinking, you will stand in a boat in the cold, and you will rest after getting drunk. Zhuang Qingpu's poem has a profound artistic conception, which shows his talent. It is a pity that he died so young."
Pei Yun was slightly startled. Although Zhuang Qingpu was respected and loved by the people of Chuzhou, he was the one who assassinated the county guard after all, so few people praised him in public so as not to fall into the ears of Yong Jun and cause trouble. And the tone of this man's words
When you first hear it, you feel that you are from Chang'an. Since you are from Yong, why do you praise Zhuang Qingpu so openly?
Suspicious in his heart, he couldn't help but hesitate, but he heard a familiar voice in his ears: "Although there is nothing wrong with Ziliang's words, you should be careful with what you say."
Pei Yun was even more shocked when he heard this. This man had just been demoted. How could he have arrived in Chuzhou again? Turning his eyes, he realized that apart from some elite guards with faint glints in their eyes, who could easily be seen as masters and elite guards sitting around, there were no other people upstairs.
There were no local drinkers, so he felt even more shocked. He straightened his clothes, stepped forward and bowed to the side room where the voice came from, and said: "Master Hou stooped to come here, why didn't you tell Pei Yun so that the general could hold a banquet for you?"
It is only for the Marquis to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Jiang Zhe's elegant voice came from the curtain and said: "Jiang has now been relieved of his position as counselor. If not for His Majesty's grace, I'm afraid his title would not have been reduced by only two levels. Why would General Pei be so polite and come here today?"
, I just remembered the green plum wine here. Fortunately, Lao Du still left a few jars, so I didn’t have to go back and forth in vain.”
Pei Yun walked in through the curtain and said with a smile: "I admire the Marquis for being unfazed by favors and humiliations. However, I think your Majesty will eventually understand the Marquis' painstaking efforts and can make Lu Can lose his military power. Even if he loses Xiangyang, he may not be able to get it back, let alone Xiangyang."
I haven't lost it yet." He couldn't help but secretly wonder who the person Jiang Zhe called "Ziliang" was, and why Jiang Zhe's voice sounded like there was a bit of respect. When he walked into the wing, Pei Yun was surprised.
, I saw that the person sitting with Jiang Zhe, tasting wine and chatting, was actually a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a handsome appearance. Although he was wearing an ordinary yellow shirt, he looked extraordinary and his power was not revealed, which made Pei Yun.
What was shocking was that the young man was actually Prince Li Jun, the deputy commander of Jiangnan Xingyuan.
With thousands of thoughts running through his mind, Pei Yun knelt down on one knee and said, "I will bow to you at the end of my visit to His Highness the Crown Prince, who is thousands of years old. I didn't know that His Highness was coming, so I didn't greet him in person. Please forgive me."
Li Jun stood up, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "General Pei is standing alone. The general is guarding Chuzhou and preventing the Huaidong Army of Southern Chu from marching north to Qingxu. You have worked hard and achieved great results. Gu Yixiang knows this very well and I admire you deeply. Please don't be too polite."
Jiang Zhe had a lazy look on his face and sat motionless on the table, but he didn't see anything strange about Li Jun. Pei Yun remembered that he had heard people say that Prince Li Jun and Jiang Zhe were very close. Now it seems that it is indeed true. Seeing Jiang Zhe all over again
There was no frustrated expression as expected after being demoted, and Li Jun obeyed in obedience. The worries in his heart were swept away. He stood up and said calmly: "His Highness and the Marquis went to Chuzhou in obedience. They must have taught them. After three years of hard work, they only succeeded."
When the military order is given, I will go south to wash away the humiliation of the defeat that day, and please give me your instructions."
I couldn't help but yawned, and thought to myself: "Pei Yun must have been bored to death in the past few years. Sichuan, Jingxiang, and Huaixi are all fighting fiercely every year. Only Huaidong is almost calm. When I see Li
Jun is going to ask for a battle, he is really impatient." He glanced at Li Jun, who was talking to Pei Yun in some superficial but sincere words, and his heart became more and more depressed. This time, he designed to alienate the generals, ministers, and ministers of Southern Chu, and even more
He set up a strategy to greatly consume the hostile forces, but he also had the desire to retreat bravely, so he deliberately concealed some key things from telling Li Zhi, and he also acted unruly in the past three years. As expected, this battle of Xiangyang
After that, the news about my impeachment came like a snowflake, and Li Zhi was really angry and demoted my title and military position. This was within my expectation, and it just allowed Nanchu Hunjun Quan Xiang to deal with Lu Can with peace of mind. As for the loss
Is it a blow from the king's grace? Anyway, Li Zhi's will not be needed for the next thing. I was still thinking that after this incident, I would take advantage of the opportunity to retire, so as not to see the decline of my motherland. Unexpectedly, I just heard the reprimanding decree with satisfaction.
, but secretly received the secret order to reward me, Li Zhi didn't blame me at all for acting without permission, and even said that Nan Chu could defeat ten cities by defeating Lu Can alone. Seeing that the escape plan was in vain, why didn't I feel that
I'm so angry that if I hadn't been thinking about the unfinished business in Nanchu, I would have wanted to get out of it right away. I just don't know how things are going over there. I think there will be results within a month or two.
——————————————
December 5th, Jianye.
Yu Lun walked out of Shang Chengye's private house. It was already midnight. The light snow that had been falling all day long had stopped at some point. In the dark night sky, there was no trace of starry and moonlight. The lantern in his hand was shining brightly in this misty night.
Zhong Ye could only dispel the darkness in a radius of about ten feet, and Song Yu felt that his soul was as dim as this dark night. He walked in a daze for an unknown amount of time, and Yu Lun stopped. There was already a black wooden door in front of him.
There is a green palace lantern hanging on it. The light is not very bright, but in Song Yu's heart, he feels that this is the only ray of light in the darkness. This is Liu Rumeng's residence in Jianye, Liuyuan. In winter
Since then, the cold has doubled, so Liu Rumeng abandoned the boat and lived in the city. Although Liuyuan is not big, it is quiet and elegant, which often makes people feel like they don't want to go back. He reached out to knock on the door, but Yu Lun couldn't.
Suddenly feeling timid, I stretched out my hand in the air, but I couldn't move forward any further.
I vaguely remembered that before leaving today, Liu Rumeng stood in the snow holding a red paper umbrella and dressed in plain clothes to see each other off. She lightly opened her lips and said, "Sir, even though Rumeng is a man in the world, he knows that everyone
The general is loyal and righteous, sir. If you can persuade him to make a tactful speech to the prime minister and avoid the dispute between the general and the prime minister, it will be a blessing for the country. If the orchids are covered with frost and the jade pillars are falling, wouldn't it be self-destruction of the Great Wall and nothing more?
It makes relatives and enemies happy."
But how did he do it? When Shang Chengye told him worriedly that Shang Weijun was still hesitant, he said: "It doesn't matter whether General Lu rebelled, it's just that Shang Xiang was so offended this time.
General, I wonder if the general will forget this matter. This time, the general was arrested without hesitation, and even ordered his generals not to cause trouble. But I don’t know if he will be so willing to risk life and death, honor and humiliation next time, and let the Prime Minister add to the crime."
Looking at Shang Chengye's thoughtful expression, Yu Lun knew that Lu Can was one step closer to death.
In less than two months, things in the world have been turned upside down. Not to mention that since the Battle of Xiangyang in Dayong, the King of Qi and the Crown Prince have been reprimanded. Even Jiang Zhe, who has always been favored by the emperor, was demoted and fined. Within a few days
There is even news that Jiang Zhe's military post has been relieved by Emperor Yong, and there are even signs of Yong's army shrinking its defense lines. Various signs indicate that the war that has lasted for several years may be stopped. However, in this way, the foreign invasion will be gone, and the internal situation in Nanchu will be over.
The contradiction has become more acute.
Since Lu Can was sent to Jianye, the leader of the country, Zhao Long, only met him briefly and jailed Lu Can. Lu Can's wife and child who stayed in Jianye were also put under house arrest. Even Lu Yun, who led the army in Huaixi, also
After being taken to the capital by Tiqisuo, only Lu Can's son Lu Feng, his third daughter Lu Mei and his eldest daughter-in-law Shi Xiu were nowhere to be seen. However, Lu Feng and Lu Mei were both underage, and Shi Xiu was the daughter of Shi Guan.
For the sake of knowledge and service, Shang Weijun naturally did not go too far and just ordered the arrest. However, although he did not care much, Fengyi Sect's experts frequently came out to search for the whereabouts of the three people. Yu Lun did not know why Fengyi Sect was like this.
Nervous, it took some time before I learned from Shang Chengye that a master from the Fengyi Sect went to Huaixi to help the imperial envoy capture the Lu family, but his life and death were unknown and he disappeared without a trace. Shang Chengye only mentioned this matter a little.
Yu Lun was gloating over the misfortune, but he secretly speculated in his heart whether he had taken action secretly?
He didn't know how long he had been at a loss, but Yu Lun suddenly felt a ray of sword energy coming from the dark place. His long experience of life and death made him wake up immediately.
Sticking to the wall like a dead leaf, he looked into the darkness with piercing eyes, his eyes full of vigilance. Although the sword energy had no killing intent, Yuolun did not dare to ignore it at all. The folding fan in his right hand pointed forward and said coldly.
: "Who is watching here?"
A clear voice came from the dark alley and said: "Forgive me, Mr. Song. I've been waiting here for a long time for your return. I wanted to pay you a visit. Unexpectedly, you stood in front of the door for a long time. I was afraid that you would catch the cold, so I used some methods to wake you up."
, please sir, don’t blame me.”
At this moment, Yu Lun had returned to a cold and ice-cold state of mind. He lowered his eyes and remained silent. He knew that he had been uneasy just now and had not noticed that there was someone in the dark. However, that person must also be a master, otherwise he would not have been able to hide it from his eyes and ears so easily.
With his mind spinning, Yuolun said coldly: "Song is just a frivolous prodigal. What do you have to say?"
The man was silent for a moment and said: "Sir, I have a good relationship with the son of Shang Xiang. Everyone knows about the establishment of the industry. Now the general has been falsely accused and imprisoned. I don't know whether he is alive or dead. Moreover, no one knows where Shang Xiang detained the general. So I take the liberty of
I came here to ask, sir, you are magnanimous and generous, not greedy for power, and everyone knows your achievements. Even Shang Chengye cannot bring you into the palace. I think you know that the general is loyal and loyal, so please feel free to give me some advice."
Yu Lun felt cold in his heart. It's not surprising that this person knew that he was friends with Shang Chengye, but how did he know that he could know where Lu Can was imprisoned? There were not many people who knew that he could influence Shang Chengye deeply. What was it?
Who betrayed me? I thought that Liu Rumeng in the backyard behind me was one of the people who knew, and in the past two months, she had repeatedly persuaded myself to do my best for Lu Can. Could it be that she had betrayed me? I had a doubt in my heart.
With suppressed anger and an unyielding look in his eyes, he said sternly: "I do know what you want to ask, but it is impossible for me to say it out." After saying this, cold murderous aura surged from his body, and in his spiritual sense.
He realized that there were two people secretly there, one of them had a powerful sword and the other had deep inner strength. Although he felt that if these two people joined forces, he would have little chance of winning, but he became more determined and was willing to fight to the death.
The man in the dark seemed to have noticed the change in Yu Lun's momentum. He sighed softly, walked out of the dark alley, and moved to the door. The dim light shone on his gentle and handsome face. This man was actually a commoner scholar wearing a robe.
A long sword, with a domineering sword aura, and a faint divine light in his eyes, staring at Yuolun's face, with a faint look of regret in his eyes.
Yuolun took a step forward and waved the folding fan in his hand. The beauty on the fan seemed to be invisible, but there was a sense of aloofness in his carefree posture.
The civilian-clothed Confucian scholar cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Song may have misunderstood something. I have no ill intentions. I just want to know General Lu's situation."
Yu Lun said coldly: "The life and death of the general is a matter of the imperial court. What does it have to do with you? You are just a commoner. You have neither received the emperor's salary nor are you a member of a noble family. Why should you care about these nosy matters?"
The commoner scholar sighed: "Sir, what you said is wrong. In the past two months, the general has been imprisoned, and everyone in Southern Chu is worried about him. Not only the civil and military officials have written letters to protect him, but also the commoner scholars have complained about him.
The rise and fall of the country, how can we say that we are not involved in our affairs? Sir, you have no intention of getting rich and living in the world. I heard that you are a man, and I respect you in my heart, but why are you unwilling to tell the truth? Could it be that you are bent on protecting the traitor who has betrayed the country?"
Yu Lun sneered and said: "Your Excellency, you are deceiving yourself. Although the general has served the country, he is loyal and upright. Most of the Southern Chu family and civil and military officials respect him, but even more hate him. Look at how many of those who have written letters to express their grievances.
He was an official of third rank or above, so what about his trusted generals? Yang Xiu remained silent, but just wrote a few memorials to defend himself. He even took over the military power in Huaidong and secretly formed a good relationship with the monk. Shi Guan not only
His son-in-law was handed over to the Prime Minister, and he was even more willing to cling to the powerful. Yu Mian wanted to send troops, but unfortunately Rong Yuan blocked the river with iron ropes and forced him back, without end. And that Rong Yuan, who was also a loyal minister and a famous general, now
Three consecutive memorials were sent to impeach the general. The last one directly accused the general of collaborating with the enemy. As a result, the rebels of Southern Chu escaped death and recovered Xiangyang. These two charges were even more vicious. They said that the general wanted to become king in Jianghuai, but it was just
Regarding Wu Ying'er, these two charges cannot be explained clearly. Not to mention this person, who among the powerful and aristocratic families in Nanchu is not thinking about killing the general so as to seize the military power he left behind. Even if there are people like you
The characters worry about the general, but what's the use? Your Excellency can only deceive Song into being alone. Even if Song tells you where the general is imprisoned, what ability do you have to rescue him?"
The man was silent, but the man in the dark couldn't hold it any longer. He walked to the light and said coldly: "How do you, a wandering boy, know that the general is big-hearted? If it weren't for the general's suppression, I'm afraid Nanchu would have been in flames."
It's just that if the general is really killed, the soldiers who are loyal to the general will no longer be able to bear it. As long as you tell where the general is imprisoned, we will never make it difficult for you." Under the light, it is clear that this
The person who came after him was a Taoist priest with a yellow crown.
Yu Lun smiled coldly, and swayed the fan gently, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to continue arguing with the Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, when the fan opened and closed, a black light suddenly shot from the fan bone to Taoist Huang Guan's throat. Suddenly, the Taoist priest
Unexpectedly, Yu Lun's attack would be so cruel. He was caught off guard and saw that the hidden weapon was about to take his life. Unexpectedly, the sword flashed and the black light was knocked aside. The commoner scholar held a long sword and his eyes were filled with anger.
, said: "You must be a ruthless person with such methods, look at the sword." Before his voice fell, a line of sword light that seemed to be practiced had already struck Yu Lun.
Yu Lun dodged and flew back, shaking the folding fan in his hand to block the sword. The swords and fans intersected. Yu Lun's complexion changed slightly. The inner strength of this civilian scholar was gentle and profound, much stronger than him. One sword attack had almost caused him to lose his folding fan. Tan
Out of the enemy's depth, Yu Lun unfolded his body, just wandering around, looking for opportunities to strike. The swordsmanship of the civilian scholar was bright and upright, he was tightly guarded, and his attack was steady. He was like a famous general leading his troops to attack a city. There was no gap at all.
Lun was worried, this kind of swordsmanship was most suitable to deal with his first-rate assassin's martial arts. Unless he took advantage of his unpreparedness, it would be difficult for him to have a chance to succeed. Yu Lun was worried, and the commoner scholar was also frightened. This
The young man's martial arts were strange and ruthless, and he could move freely within the power of his sword. However, as long as he showed the slightest flaw, he would attack his vitals like a ghost. After only a few moves, the common man's heart was filled with confusion.
He had a strange feeling. This young man must be a killer with bloody hands, otherwise he would not have such skill and murderous intent. However, although the Confucian scholar felt a little uneasy, his sword power became more and more steady.
The two exchanged less than a hundred moves. Although they were evenly matched on the surface, Yuolun vaguely felt that his martial arts had been suppressed by the opponent's swordsmanship. He had a strong killing intention in his heart and simply launched a move that would hurt both sides. He would not hesitate to live or die.
The swordsman had a duel, and for some reason, he felt vaguely in his heart that if Liu Rumeng betrayed him, it would most likely be for this person, so he grew to hate him even more.
The Confucian scholar frowned deeply. He got the information. This Song Yu knew a lot of information that he wanted to know. Moreover, this person was always alone when he came in and out, and his temperament was quite noble. He should be able to move him with affection, so he
I came to inquire, but I didn't expect that this man was willing to die for some reason. Although I would eventually win, if I killed this man, I would lose the opportunity to find out the news, and secondly, I would alert the snake. I thought lightly,
He frowned and said, "Mr. Song, if you continue to refuse to stop, I'm afraid my brother will be offended." After saying that, he stretched out his sword, forcing Yu Lun into more and more embarrassment, and retreated continuously. Just as Yu Lun took the third step.
At that moment, Taoist Huang Guan flew up, with a whisk appearing in his hand, and tapped directly towards Yu Lun's back heart. The two of them had a tacit understanding and just wanted to tap the young man's acupuncture points to restrain him. Unexpectedly, Yu Lun
As if he had expected it, just when the Taoist touched the key point on his vest, his figure turned over like a civet cat, and regardless of the bad luck of having the sword pierced through his heart, the folding fan in his hand shot out three rays of black light. The Taoist expected
Unexpectedly, he would fight to the death with himself. Seeing that he was about to die under a hidden weapon, he couldn't help but roar.
At this moment, three crackling silk-like piano sounds came from the silent and dark night, like sharp blades from the underworld, passing through a space of more than ten feet, and the black light emitted by the wheel was broken. At the same time, in the hands of the commoner scholar,
The long sword and the fly whisk in Taoist Priest Huang Guan's hand were both deflected by invisible force. It was just a hair's breadth that they had avoided the tragedy of losing both sides. For a moment, the three of them were stunned and stunned.
At this time, a young man in black walked out of the darkness, his face covered with a black gauze. He came forward and bowed and said: "Young Master Song, I have offended you so much. Please don't take offense because we are familiar with you."
Although this man had his face covered, Yuolun recognized his identity at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face, and said uneasily: "What's going on? Bai, Brother Bai."
The man bowed his head and said: "Please forgive me, Mr. Song. Daxia Ding wants to do his best for the general, but he doesn't know where he is imprisoned, so it is difficult to make a move. Moreover, if it is not for the evil king and the traitor to murder him, it is inconvenient to rescue the general without permission. In order to get accurate information, Daxia Ding
There is an old relationship in the pavilion, so we ask each other. The master of the pavilion knows that Mr. Song may know the inside story. For the sake of justice, he has to break his past promise and guide Ding Daxia to find the prince. If I have offended him, please forgive me."
Yuolun's expression changed several times, and his eyes gradually became clearer. He looked at his old colleagues before him, then glanced into the darkness, but stopped talking.
The man stepped forward again and said: "Mr. Song, you and the pavilion master have known each other for a long time. The pavilion master also knows that it would be too much to break a promise and trouble each other. However, please consider that General Lu is the pillar of Southern Chu and cannot be destroyed."
Come on, speak freely."
Yu Lun's eyes flashed with helplessness and misery, and he said: "I have received great kindness from the Pavilion Master, and I have nothing to repay. Even if I die, I will have no regrets. Since the Pavilion Master has inquired and told me everything I know, General Lu will be imprisoned."
The Qiao family garden in the city is abandoned. I am afraid that within a few days, life and death will be clear. I also admire General Lu as a person. When General Lu dies, I will definitely go to see him off in person. If you want to know General Lu's life or death, you may wish to pay attention.
Here’s my whereabouts.”
The civilian-clothed Confucian scholar and the Huangguan Taoist priest were both overjoyed and came forward to thank him, but Yuolun just smiled coldly and ignored him. At this time, a few piano sounds were heard secretly, with a faint meaning of consolation, and Yuolun's mind was spinning.
, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face, without knocking on the door, he jumped into the willow garden. Then a wisp of flute sound came from the dark, the sound was sad, as if there was infinite hatred, and it disappeared in the wind in an instant.
The commoner scholar was a close friend. Hearing the melancholy hidden in the flute sound, he couldn't help but have questions in his heart. He asked the masked young man: "Brother Bai, what is the connection between Mr. Song and Tianji Pavilion? If
He is reluctant because he is afraid that the big thing will be ruined."
The masked young man smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Ding. Mr. Song has a very close relationship with me. He just retired from the world a few years ago. According to the rules of our pavilion, he is no longer involved. This time, the master has no choice but to break his promise. I think he is dissatisfied."
, but the pavilion master treats him with great kindness, and he is a person who values affection and righteousness. As long as the pavilion master gives orders, he will definitely not fail."
The commoner scholar felt relieved, bowed his head and said, "Please thank the Lord for your great kindness."
The young man said solemnly: "We are all doing our best for the people of the world. There is no need to talk about kindness. I take my leave. If there is anything that happens, please let Manager Han know."
After saying that, the young man quietly disappeared into the darkness. In the darkness, the music of the piano sounded, indicating that he was saying goodbye, and he disappeared for a moment.
The civilian-clothed scholar showed admiration on his face and said: "The Master of Tianji Pavilion is indeed a strange person in the world. Without his help, how could we possibly save General Lu."
The Huangguan Taoist priest had a look of doubt on his face and said: "The Master of Tianji Pavilion always covers his face with white gauze, and even his figure is hidden under his robe. Brother Ding is really sure that he is the one we met on Zhenze Lake."
people?"
The commoner scholar said: "Although his appearance and body are invisible, from the sound of his piano, he must be Mr. Yun whom we met that day. However, a person like him will never reveal the truth to his face, but being able to get his help is already a blessing from heaven."
, let’s not get to the bottom of it.”
The Taoist priest Huang Guan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, but he said worriedly: "After all, it is an act of disobedience to rob the prison. I still hope that the ruler of the country can appreciate the general's contribution to defending the country. It would be best if he could issue a pardon."
of."
The civilian-clothed Confucian scholar sighed and said: "I only hope that your kindness will be like the sea, and you can understand the heart of your loyal ministers." After saying this, he felt that this was a delusion, so he could only sigh softly, disappear into the night, and disappear in an instant. The Huang Guan Taoist priest
He sighed: "The kindness of the king is great, but the orders of the ministers are slight. When the prince died because of this, how could the general survive? I am just greedy." After that, he disappeared into the night.
At this moment, in the deep palace of Nanchu, Zhao Long looked at the secret seal on Shang Weijun's inheritance and curled his lips. He just wanted to kill a minister. Why should he be so cautious? It was submitted late at night and he had to die in secret. It was obviously a serious crime of treason, but
He only sentenced his family to exile, and he had the idea of increasing the punishment in his heart, but after thinking for a while, he was still too lazy to do anything, so he approved the word "can", then casually threw the fold on the table, and looked back in a daze.
He walked to the palace, where there was a beauty waiting for him.
