Is it male or female? When Duan Ling returned home, he couldn't stop trying to figure out what the masked assassin was going to do. ridge. If the assassin sent by the Han family, the first move will kill him...
"Come back?" Cai Yan's voice said in the dark.
Duan Ling was almost scared and turned his back, and replied, "I'm back, why are you here?"
"Have you made an appointment?" Cai Yan sat in the yard and poured himself a drink. He didn't know where the wine came from. Duan Ling threw his sword and sat down opposite Cai Yan. Pour a cup.
Cai Yan was selected, but Yelu Zongzhen would not reuse him. Unless he surrendered to Yelu Zongzhen, it would not be a good thing to get too close to the Han family. Duan Ling was not too worried about Cai Yan's future, just because he would have to leave sooner or later, with Cai Yan's ability, there should be no major problems in dealing with it.
"I don't know why today, but I suddenly remembered my father." Cai Yan said, "If he is still alive, he should be very happy."
"If my father knew, he would be very happy." Duan Ling said, "When I get to Zhongjing, I will send him a letter and ask him to come to Beijing to pick me up."
Cai Yan drank cup after cup, but Duan Ling didn't dare to drink too much, for fear of saying something he shouldn't have said after drinking. It turned out that he was overthinking. Cai Yan was so drunk that he cried and laughed. cry.
Duan Ling carried him into the room, let him lie down on the couch, and lay down where Li Jianhong used to sleep. Cai Yan couldn't stop talking nonsense.
"The prosperous world... the world." Cai Yan said, "the world, the world..."
Duan Ling raised a heart in his throat, but Cai Yan didn't say anything in the end. After a few words of drunkenness, he fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next day, Cai Yan had already left. That morning, a soldier came to knock on the door.
"A grown-up asked you." The soldier said, "Would you like to go to Zhongjing today."
"What?" Duan Ling had been drinking last night and had a headache. He suddenly woke up from the drink and asked, "Which lord?"
"The above said that you only need to tell you, you will know." The soldier also looked confused, and said, "You don't know? The original question was that the Lord asked you if you would like to leave for Zhongjing today. Last night, the Lord left to go back to do some errands. , No one knows, I just tell you one, if you want to go now, the North Academy will send a team to escort you on the road, don't let the news leak. If you want to wait for him in Shangjing, that's fine."
Duan Ling thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered Yelu Zongzhen, he left last night? ! Naturally, he didn't want to leave now. Once he left, all his plans would be thrown into chaos.
"The matter is not over here." Duan Ling said, "I can't get away for the time being."
The soldier said: "This is given to you by the adults. There is one thing that must be kept and must not be lost. You must give me a certificate before I send it to Zhongjing."
The soldier in the northern courtyard brought a food box and a box. Inside the food box was a box of snacks of various styles, as well as a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a sword that Yelu Zongzhen rewarded. Duan Ling opened the box and saw that there was a small sign made of pure gold in it. , with branches and peaches, put them in a box, affixed a note, and handed it to the soldier.
The meaning is to repay the peach and repay the peach, and the bandit repays it, which means that it will always be considered a good thing. Although I voted for papaya, which is papaya, but I don't have papaya on hand, I will do it with peaches. I think Yeluzong really understands.
For several days, Duan Ling hardly stayed at home except to buy some food in the street. Every time he passed by the tea shop, he would stop and listen for a long time, inquiring about the news from the south. Now, some people say that Mu Kuangda has turned to Li Jianhong, some people say that the emperor of Nanchen and the fourth prince are dead, and Ling didn't know who to believe for a while.
During this period, Cai Yan came again and said to Duan Ling, "Half a month ago, Your Majesty returned to Zhongjing."
Duan Ling was rubbing clothes by the well, pretending to be a little surprised, and said, "Did you just leave?"
Cai Yan said: "The troops and horses of Zhongjing are already on the line, and Yelu Dashi wrote a secret letter. After His Majesty returned, he summoned all the ministers, and despite the opposition of Taishi Han, resisted the move to send troops."
Duan Ling thought to himself, thank God, he finally felt at ease.
Cai Yan said, "Your father hasn't come back yet?"
"No." Duan Ling said.
"Have you written a letter yet?" Cai Yan said again, "Is the letter on the table in the hall your father's?"
Duan Ling: "..."
Duan Ling hurriedly went in to read it. Seeing that a letter had not been opened, he did not know when it appeared there, and placed it on the table upright. Cai Yan walked out of the hall, and Duan Ling opened the letter.
[Jun asked that the return period is not yet due, and the night rain in Bashan rose to the autumn pond. Why should we cut the candles at the west window together, but talk about the night rain in Bashan. 】
【wait for me. 】
Li Jianhong won.
Seven days ago, Jianmen Pass fell.
It was a rainy night. Before the gate of Jianmen, there was an overwhelming torrential rain. Lightning crossed the mountains, and the thunder light shone straight to the sky.
A visitor came to the black armor barracks with a child and a masked guard.
Li Jianhong stepped on a box full of weapons, leaned on his side to drink, and the lights cast the silhouette of his profile on the tent.
"It's raining too much." The visitor took off his hat and robe, and sighed, "If it wasn't for Changliu-Jun carrying the mountains and rivers all the way, I would never have been able to reach the prince."
"Shepherd minister, I have been gone for years." Li Jianhong pointed at the chair and said, "Sit down."
Xie You sat aside, silently watching Mu Kuangda.
"Give the shepherd minister some ginger soup that wards off the cold." Li Jianhong ordered again.
"This is my son." Mu Kuangda said, "Mu Qing, Qing'er, kowtow to the lord."
Mu Kuangda's son stepped forward, knelt down toward Li Jianhong, bowed down, and Li Jianhong made a slight gesture with the palm of his hand, indicating that he did not need to be more polite.
"It's a guest from afar." Li Jianhong said, "No matter what the minister's intention is today, for this courage, Mr. Li will let you leave without any hindrance."
"I said I had to come in person." Mu Kuangda said with a smile, "Changliu-Jun always thinks about the future. I said, don't worry, if you can come in with your whole body, the lord will definitely let me go back with your whole body."
"Tell me." Xie You said solemnly, "Your Highness is waiting."
Mu Kuangda said, "Your Majesty has passed away."
"When?" Li Jianhong asked casually.
"Five days ago, Zi Shi." Mu Kuangda said.
"Why don't I know?" Li Jianhong said casually.
"Zhao Kui sent people to guard the palace and keep it secret." Mu Kuangda said, "My lord, that edict six years ago was not my original intention, but Zhao Kui's actions beyond his authority."
"I know." Li Jianhong said lazily.
Mu Kuangda added, "I can't stop the movie team from being mobilized."
"I know." Li Jianhong said again.
Mu Kuangda said: "If this battle is not resolved quickly, if Han Weiyong and the Empress Dowager Xiao can't be stabilized, and the Liao soldiers come back, I will be in danger, and I can't stand the division of things, let alone the royal family. It doesn't make much sense."
Li Jianhong: "Yes."
Mu Kuangda said: "Zhao Kui issued a military order today to mobilize more than half of the troops under Yubi Pass to go down to the Central Plains to fight the prince. Xichuan is already under his control. If the prince returns without success in this battle, Zhao Kui will return. Xichuan, the soldiers persuade the palace."
Li Jianhong frowned and did not speak.
Mu Kuangda said, "I'm going to issue an order for the arrest of the cloth. I will cooperate with the shadow team and cooperate with the prince inside and outside. Three days later, the whistle will be the order to open the gate of the sword."
Li Jianhong asked, "What does the shepherd want me to do?"
"Xichuan will not increase the amount of money for ten years, nor will it be recruited." Mu Kuangda said, "The capital of the country... It's time to move to Jiangzhou."
Li Jianhong smiled and said, "The minister minister thought clearly for this king."
Mu Kuangda smiled and said, "I have always been a person of interest."
Li Jianhong turned to look at Mu Kuangda's son, Mu Qing was a little scared and stepped back a little.
Mu Kuangda said: "These days, Qing'er follows the prince and learns more, prince, this is Mu's most beloved child, and I hope the prince..."
"No need." Li Jianhong said, "This king believes in you, go back, three days later, I will wait for your order."
Mu Kuangda then left the army camp with Lord Changliu and his eldest son.
Three days later, in the middle of the night, birds chirped all over the mountains and fields, and the guards at Jianmen Pass were killed. Li Jianhong captured Jianmen Pass overnight, and Zhao Kui's 200,000 defenders were defeated and fled to Xichuan Road. At dawn, the two sides had a battle at Wenzhong Mountain. Zhao Kui, who hastily organized his army, was first defeated by Xie You and then ambushed by Li Jianhong.
At the end, the official road was full of dead bodies, and the field was full of deserters. Li Jianhong personally led people to hunt down Zhao Kui, but Zhao Kui was rescued by Wu Du on the way and fled to Xichuan City.
"Nine ringings of Zhongshan, changing the dynasty..."
"The maple water is thawed, and winter goes to spring..."
When Zhao Kui fled to the foot of Wenzhong Mountain in a hurry, the children in the distant Xichuan City were singing this song, but the mutinous shadow team was waiting for him on the official road. Kui Ze fled west again.
There is a big tree in the vast wilderness. Zhao Kui, with more than a dozen guards, fled here with all the mountains and rivers, and in the distance is the towering Wenzhong Mountain.
"I had known that I should die in an upright manner." Zhao Kui sighed.
In autumn, the sky is wide and the sky is wide. There is a rustling sound in the wheat fields. A tall assassin comes against the wind. The guards are alarmed and shouted: "Who!"
However, before the guards could take action, several rays of light flashed, and Zhao Kui's bodyguards were already dead on the ground.
"Hello," the assassin said, "I am Changliu-Jun."
"I finally waited for this sentence." Zhao Kui said.
"I'm here to kill you." Lord Changliu removed his mask and said politely.
Zhao Kui's last thought was the white tiger tattoo on the side of Changliu-Jun's face.
At dusk, the sky was stained with blood, the lonely tree in the wilderness rustled in the wind, Wu Du was injured, and chased Fengxia along the official road. What caught his eye were the bodies of Zhao Kui and the guards, and Chang Liu. Jun is bowing, wiping the blood on the sword with Zhao Kui's broken cloak.
Wu Du's pupils dilated slightly, but Lord Changliu didn't even look at him, saying: "You have two options, one is to kill yourself and leave a whole body; the other is to run away from now on, I count to ten, after ten, I will will kill you."
Wu Du couldn't help trembling. He didn't flee or commit suicide, but trembling, he drew out the long sword at his waist.
"Do you think anyone will escape?" Wu Du sneered bluntly.
Changliu-Jun raised the sword in his hand, but at this moment, the expressions of the two changed at the same time. Changliu-Jun quickly retracted the sword, turned around and disappeared into the wheat field, disappearing without a trace.
Wu Du dragged his body and staggered towards Zhao Kui's body, roaring in grief and indignation.
The galloping horse rushed along the official road. Li Jianhong was dressed in iron armor and his cloak fluttered in the autumn wind. Wu Du immediately turned around and faced Li Jianhong.
"Retract the sword." Li Jianhong said.
Wu Du's face was hesitant. Li Jianhong threw a letter and flew in front of Wu Du. Wu Du shivered and opened the letter. After reading it, Li Jianhong said again, "Put the sword away."
Wu Du suddenly returned the sword to its sheath, and a sound of gold and iron sounded like a dragon roaring through the sky.
Li Jianhong did not spend a single soldier or a single death, and the entire city of Xichuan surrendered. Mu Kuangda led a hundred officials out of the city to welcome him, and Li Yanqiu came in person.
"Third brother, you are back."
Li Jianhong was about to say something, when he heard the sound of a bell on Zhongshan in the distance, and at dusk, it echoed in the sky.
