Regarding Liu Tong’s question, Zhao Guang shook his head and said: “Impossible! Don’t forget, that Fan Zongyin is Zhao Gou’s pro-appointed prime minister, and has always been loyal to Zhao Gou. Back then, Xia Cheng’s sneak attack from behind was the reason why The saint king Yang Yao was defeated in the battle with the officers and soldiers. Fan Zongyin knew Xia Cheng's ambitions very well, and he was very wary of him. How could he take His Majesty down to seek refuge in Xia Cheng? That’s why we are the only people in the world. It is Fan Zongyin's best choice."
"Oh." In fact, when he was in Jizhou before, Zhao Guang had already analyzed Liu Tong, but now Liu Tong is agitated, but he has long forgotten the analysis that Zhao Guang gave himself. Moreover, even this kind of analysis cannot give Liu Tong complete peace of mind. After all, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. And just as Liu Tong was about to ask Zhao Guang again, a scream suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Come! Here! General! They are here." It was Liu Yi, Liu Tong's clan brother who spoke. Hearing what Liu Yi said, Liu Tong, who was still anxious just now, also turned to shout in surprise: "Liu Yi! Seriously? Your Majesty is really here?"
"Really! Really!" Liu Yi is usually a prudent person, but now his face is full of excitement. Liu Yi said to Liu Tong and Zhao Guang with bright eyes: "I see very clearly, it is your Majesty. And there are soldiers and horses who believe in the king's army in the distance. I have ordered Bai Xi to open the city gate. The soldiers and horses of your majesty have entered the city." The Bai Xi in Liu Yi's mouth was Bai Xi, the young general of Liu Jiajun.
"Trust Wang Jun." After hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Tong and Zhao Guang calmed down in an instant. Since Xin Wang Jun was pursuing them, it must have been his Majesty who had just escaped from Jiangling.
Just looking at this situation, I am afraid that Wang Jun Xin already knows that his Majesty is coming to join Liu Jiajun. If he can't move his majesty away quickly, then I am afraid that the little Yongxin can not withstand the siege of Wang Jun's army.
At this time, Liu Tongdang even shouted to Liu Yi: "Liu Yi, you immediately pass the order, let the soldiers clean up, and we are ready to return to Jizhou immediately. By the way! You can see how many people came to pursue the Xinwang army. ?"
"Is this?" Liu Yi lowered his head to recall for a short while, then replied: "At that time, the distance was still far, and I couldn't look too closely, but roughly, it should not exceed five thousand."
"No more than five thousand." Liu Tong's eyes flashed a cold light, and said coldly: "If this is the case, it would be easier to handle. If you leave like this, it would be difficult to follow such a tail behind him. It's better to start. Cut off this tail. "Liu Tong is famous for his boldness and decisive action. How can Liu Tong be soft on such an enemy that can be wiped out
Zhao Guang frowned, but he persuaded: "Liu Tong, don't be impulsive. After all, this place is within the Wugong Mountain. The man stationed at Wugong Mountain is Wang Hu, the general of the letter to the army. If you delay for a while, let Wang Hu After chasing it up, we wanted to get away but it was not so easy. Anyway, this letter of less than five thousand people can't help us. If you want to follow, let him follow. We will only escort your Majesty to return to Jizhou immediately. Wait. When I arrived in Jizhou, the Wang Jun who had measured the letter did not dare to catch up." Liu Yi is not an outsider, so in front of Liu Yi, Zhao Guang still calls Liu Tong by name.
Regarding Zhao Guang’s advice, Liu Tong had always been kind, nodded, but shook his fist vigorously, apparently annoyed that he could not wipe out all the enemies. However, Liu Tong could afford to let it go, and soon put the matter aside, and said to Zhao Guang: "Forget it! Zhao Guang, let's go out to meet our Southern Song prince. "
In Liu Tong’s words, there is not much awe to His Majesty. It is conceivable that Liu Tong also has no good intentions for Zhao Go. Most of them have the same thoughts as the current letter Wang Zhao Zhen. It's nothing more than a name to do the king's dominance. However, Liu Tong is not a royal family, and Zhao Zhen is a prince. After hearing Liu Tong's words, Zhao Guang and Liu Yi also laughed, and the three of them walked out of the hall side by side and rushed directly to the outside of the city guard mansion.
When the three of them arrived at the city gate in the east of the city, Bai Xi and other generals were already holding the city gate tightly, while the generals of Liu Jiajun gathered in this area of the city east. Surrounded by the soldiers, there was a team of nearly two hundred people, most of whom were armored soldiers. Only the carriage in the middle was wrapped in silk, making it impossible to see inside. Needless to say, your Majesty is here.
After the three of Liu Tong arrived, the soldiers of the Liu Family Army immediately consciously gave up a passage for the three of them, and walked quickly to the front of your Majesty's queue. At the very front of your Majesty's queue, a middle-aged soldier dressed in black was riding a war horse, watching the surroundings vigilantly. He saw the three Liu Tongs coming, and seeing the posture of the three of them and the attitude of the surrounding soldiers towards them, he knew that this was the mastermind, and immediately shouted to the three Liu Tongs: "Bold! Your Majesty is here. How dare you wait to be presumptuous?"
Hearing this, Liu Tong's face immediately became gloomy. Ever since he took the throne of Liu Jiajun, has anyone ever dared to yell at him like this. Immediately, Liu Tong snorted, and with one hand he put the hilt of the sword on his waist. Not only he, but also the Liu Jiajun soldiers around him did not have a good face. They only waited for Liu Tong's order, and they immediately He would rush forward and chop the little general who insulted their adults into mash.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense. On the other hand, the middle-aged general who caused this scene, facing the anger of the surrounding Liu’s soldiers, did not show the slightest fear. Instead, he raised his head high and looked coldly. Pointing at Liu Tong, he directly pulled out the saber around his waist, pointed at Liu Tong and shouted: "What a courage. Are you trying to rebel?"
The words of the middle-aged warrior were simply adding fuel to the fire. Liu Tong's eyes widened, his hands were already tightly holding the hilt of the sword, he pulled hard, and the sword was half pulled out, but he was suddenly stopped. Come down. Liu Tong turned his head and saw that it was his good brother Zhao Guang who stopped him.
Zhao Guang glanced at Liu Tong, shook his head at Liu Tong, and then narrowed his eyes to look at the middle-aged soldier. It seemed that your Majesty was giving Liu Tong a slap in the face. I have long heard that this majesty, Zhao Gou, was intelligent and escaped from the hands of the golden man, but was finally caught by the letter king Zhao Zhen and escaped. Seeing this now, it's still a bit unstable, Qicheng Mansion is not deep enough!
But this way, Zhao Guang was relieved a lot. If His Majesty was so impulsive, he wouldn't be afraid of any tricks. Immediately, Zhao Guang grabbed Liu Tong's arm and squeezed it hard. Liu Tong and Zhao Guang had been together for many years, and immediately understood what Zhao Guang meant. He took a deep breath and retracted the sword again. He clasped his fists, bowed to the carriage where his Majesty was, and shouted: "Chen Liutong, see my emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Just after Liu Tong bowed down, Zhao Guang took the lead, and the soldiers around also bowed down and shouted in unison: "Hurrah! Long live! Long live!"
The middle-aged general also didn't expect Liu Tong to suddenly change his attitude, which was far beyond his expectations. Now that Liu Tong was soft, the middle-aged warlord was naturally unwell, so he held on. He snorted, retracted the sword into the sheath, and shouted: "Your Majesty is tired. You are not ready to arrange a place for your Majesty to rest. ."
The middle-aged war commander’s tone was almost as if he was instructing his servants. Bai Xi and others who were commanding the soldiers next to him were so angry that they gritted their teeth and wished to rush to kill him. And Liu Tong's eyes also flashed a little anger, but Zhao Guang who was beside him quietly patted his arm again, which made Liu Tong suppress his anger and said: "This general. Xin Wang Jun Now that he is pursuing, please leave here as soon as possible with his ministers and return to Jizhou as the best policy."
"Shut up!" As soon as Liu Tong finished speaking, the middle-aged warlord immediately reprimanded: "You are the Song minister, and it is your duty to protect your majesty. If you believe that the king's army is here, it should be yours. Retiring them, why do you ask your Majesty how to act in turn?"
"You bastard." The middle-aged warlord's provocations one after another made Bai Xi, Liu Yi and others angry. The grumpy Bai Xi immediately rushed to settle accounts with the middle-aged warlord.
However, Zhao Guang has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately shouted: "Liu Yi, Bai Xi! Don't be foolish, let me retreat." Zhao Guang's prestige in Liu's army is not much lower than Liu Tong's, and Zhao Guang's shouts, Liu Even if Yihe Baixi felt unhappy, he could only retreat angrily.
"Niu Hong. What happened?" At this moment, a voice came from inside the carriage, calling the middle-aged warrior directly.
Hearing this voice, the middle-aged warlord who was about to take this opportunity to attack Liu Tong was also taken aback. After a while, he turned his horse's head, came to the carriage, and fisted at the carriage and shouted: "Your Majesty Liu Jiajun and Liu Tong condone his subordinates to be rude to your Majesty. According to the general, I am afraid that this Liu Jiajun is not a safe place. Your Majesty might as well turn to Shangrao."
Go to Shangrao? Then go to Xia Cheng's site? Hearing the words of the middle-aged warlord, the three Liu Tong were taken aback, and immediately became anxious. They worked so hard and took such a big risk, not just to keep His Majesty in Liu's army. How could your Majesty just go to Xia Cheng's place, and let the one surnamed Xia take advantage of it? Liu Tong hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! The ministers dare not be rude to your Majesty. I think this general might have misunderstood the ministers. This general, where is Master Fan Zong Yin Zhang?"
Liu Tong suddenly asked about Fan Zongyin's whereabouts, but it was because Fan Zongyin would never agree to take his Majesty to Xia Cheng. The middle-aged warlord in front of him didn't know what it was. It would be better to discuss with him.
It’s just that Liu Tong’s question was just said. The middle-aged warlord had guessed that Liu Tong would have such a question, and said: “Master Fan and Master Qin Hui have been killed in a small county for rescue. Now your Majesty’s Safety, I am responsible for Niu Hong."
"Niu Hong?" Liu Tong couldn't help but was taken aback. He had heard of the name. When he contacted Fan Zongyin before, Fan Zongyin mentioned that Niu Hongnai was a general under Fan Zongyin, but he had never met before. However, Liu Tong was quickly shocked by another news that the other party said. He repeated the sentence, "Master Fan and Master Qin Hui are dead?"
Zhao Guang and Liu Yi, who were behind Liu Tong, frowned, glanced at each other, and secretly screamed in their hearts. Unexpectedly, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui, who had been in charge of contacting Liu Jiajun before, were both dead, and it was more troublesome now. The previous contacts with Liu Jiajun were Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui. Now that these two people are dead, it is unclear whether your Majesty will follow Liu Jiajun. Thinking of this, Zhao Guang hurriedly stepped forward and said to Niu Hong with a fist, "General Niu Hong. Now that Wang Jun is outside the city, for the sake of your majesty's safety, it is better to ask your majesty to move to Jizhou first."
Zhao Guang also had a good calculation, anyway, first fudge your Majesty to Jizhou, and when you arrive at Jizhou, then it will be Liu Jiajun's site, wherever your Majesty wants to go.
But Niu Hong immediately opened his eyes and shouted: "Nonsense. Where your Majesty wants to go, it should be decided by your Majesty. Where is Rongdeer waiting to be the master? Going quickly to prepare food, you are too lazy. "
Niu Hong really smelled like oil and salt. This made Liu Tong and the three people a little bit at a loss as to how to deal with it. At this moment, General Liu Jiajun who was guarding the top of the city suddenly shouted, "General! General! Enemy! The army has already arrived outside the city.” As if to confirm the general's words, he suddenly remembered the screaming cry from outside the city. It seems that the number of believers outside the city is still quite large.
"Come well." Hearing this shout, Liu Tong couldn't help but secretly applauded. Those chasing soldiers came at this time, but they gave Liu Tong an excellent excuse. Immediately, Liu Tong bowed to Niu Hong and His Majesty in the carriage, shouting: "Please forgive your Majesty. The minister needs to go to the city to see the situation. Liu Yi, and lead the way for your Majesty, go down and rest for a while."
Hearing Liu Tong's order, Liu Yi immediately responded, and then he bent down and walked to Niu Hong's horse, and said to Niu Hong and the carriage, "Your Majesty! General Niu Hong! Please!" Gesture please.
This time Niu Hong didn’t say anything. Investigating the cause of the argument, it was also because Niu Hong asked Liu Tong to arrange a resting place for His Majesty. Now that Liu Tong agrees to arrange a resting place for His Majesty, then Niu Hong will naturally not. What to argue about. When Niu Hong snorted coldly, he waved to the two hundred soldiers on the left and right, escorting your majesty's carriage, and walked into the city under the leadership of Liu Yi.
After Niu Hong and His Majesty left, Bai Xi quickly rushed to Liu Tong's side, and he shouted angrily: "My lord. What kind of bullshit Niu Hong is so arrogant. Humph! I'll go and cut his tongue in the end. . Look at him still dare to speak such big words."
"General Bai! Don't be impulsive." Liu Tong had calmed down at this moment, stopped Bai Xi, frowned and said: "This Niu Hong has the power to save, and Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui who participated in the rescue this time are dead. Now, it can be said that he is the only hero who escaped from Jiangling. I believe that for a long time, his majesty will trust Niu Hong very much. We don’t have to provoke Niu Hong now. Everything will wait until we wait for your majesty to stay in Jizhou. Say it again."
While talking, Liu Tong's eyes flashed a cold light. Obviously, Liu Tong's rude attitude towards Niu Hong just now has been remembered in his heart. Although I don't mention it now, there will always be time to settle accounts with him in the future.
After an explanation, Liu Tong took Zhao Guang and others to the top of the city together and looked out of the city. Outside the city, a black army of letter kings lined up in a neat phalanx. In front of the phalanx, two generals were shouting towards the city, and saw Liu Tong and others appearing in the city. Head, one of the black-clothed warriors immediately shouted: "Huh. Who are you? How dare you hide the fugitive from His Royal Highness? Open the gate quickly and hand over the fugitive. Otherwise, don’t blame us for breaking through the gate. Kill you all without leaving it."
"Hahahaha!" Hearing the shouting of the general, Liu Tong, who was on the head of the city, suddenly smiled up to the sky, pointed at the general and shouted: "I told you to wait for the rat to recognize a certain family, and a certain family is Liu Jiajun, the commander of Liu. Tong. The letter king Zhao Zhen concealed evil intentions, and even dared to imprison your majesty. Now your majesty is under the protection of my Liu Tong. You can never try to succeed. Go back and tell the letter king Zhao Zhen that from now on, your majesty will be taken care of by my Liu Tong." Liu Tong laughed again.
