Wu Lin suddenly stepped forward and patted Zhao Kuangyin hard on the shoulder: "Fucking, if you want Lao Wu to meet you ten years ago, just say what you said. Lao Wu will definitely draw a knife with you right away. It’s a pity that there are more heads of Golden Dogs cut off than anyone else... Now... ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "It's not too late now!"

Liu Qi sighed up to the sky: "It's too late! It's too late! After I waited for the southern crossing, I have no foundation in Jiangbei. The owner is nothing more than the people's will of Jiangbei heroes. The two of us, Yue Shuai and Han Shuai's army, are everything. The hot-blooded men in the north spontaneously joined the army, and because of this, in just a few years, four iron masters who can compete with the golden soldiers can be trained. It's a pity..."

He looked at Zhao Kuangyin and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that since today's emperor's official has urged Yue Fei to return to Beijing with twelve gold medals, Qin Hui even put forward:'If you want to return gold from the people of Hebei, the people of the Central Plains return Liu Yu.' Waiting for the theory of punishment, the people of Jiangbei know that the court has decided to abandon them. Nowadays, the Jiangbei heroes are willing to become pirates, and they are not willing to serve my life in the Song Dynasty. Things change with time and overcome their gods. Zhou has long been nothing more than a dream."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned, "But today's emperor's official family has changed. He rescued Yue Fei, angrily reprimanded the golden messenger, determined to restore the Central Plains, and return my rivers and mountains, why..."

Before he could finish his words, Wu Lin laughed loudly from himself: "This brother, you are not a member of the court. I don't understand how fast this emperor official will change. He was chased by the golden soldiers in Mingzhou. When we were about to sail out to sea, we were so anxious that we almost didn't catch our hand and called the boss, but he stood firm a little and played us like idiots. Brother, you just listen to what the emperor official said now. , Don’t take it too seriously..."

Goulong Ruyuan frowned and interjected: "The two generals slandered the father in public, it seems like an imperial court."

Although he was deeply shocked by a discussion and meeting tonight, he was still deeply ingrained for decades. At this time, when he saw that the two marshals were acting out of courtesy, he immediately stood up and spoke. .

Wu Lin squinted at him: "Where did you leak it?"

Goulong Ruyuan smiled softly: "I have seen two great marshals in Xia Goulong Ruyuan."

Liu Qi couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although he did not go to the court meeting, he still had a clear grasp of the court's movements. He knew that if there were no accidents, the hooked dragon in front of him would soon become Yushi Zhongcheng.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng is the head of Taiwan's admonishment officials and holds the power of impeachment. If he impeaches himself and Wu Lin on this ground, it would be troublesome.

After years of hardship, he is no longer the young man who only knew how to fight.

On the battlefield, he is confident that he can defeat all opponents, but in Lin'an, the maelstrom, he can only carefully ensure that he will not be swallowed.

Here, it is a hundred times more sinister than the most dangerous battlefield.

Isn't Yue Fei's experience a good example

So he grabbed Wu Lin, who still wanted to talk, and sighed softly: "What Liu said, every word, since the words are not speculative, then we won't bother a few Yaxing."

After leaving the army for many years, he still maintained the character of doing what he said. Without looking at other people, he pulled Wu Lin around and left.

Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "The two great men..."

Liu Qi turned around and said: "This brother, if Fang Tianziguan's family were able to play such drums and say such things like you, Liu Qi would never appear in such a place now, but it's a pity... I see brothers. It’s also a t-shirt, and it’s better to be an elegant gentleman with peace of mind."

Wu Lin also chuckled and said, "Brother, this is not something you can worry about. You still have time to drink and drink with us at the bar, and maybe you can have a dream of the previous war!"

They waved to Zhao Kuangyin and walked out on their own.

You can faintly hear their lonely singing voice:

The blood of the man, the hatred of the family and the country... Slacks the horse, draws the bow, slays the barbarians, fights the enemies... Sigh the present, the arrow at the waist, the sword in the box, the empty beetle, all the dust...

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, suddenly stood up, and wanted to go out with him, Bao Daren and Zhan Zhao quickly followed him and stood up.

Behind him, Murong Ningxue whispered: "Sir!"

Zhao Kuangyin turned his face back, and Murong Ningxue said softly: "Mr. next time, if there is a Cao Lu Xinglai Ningxue, you don't have to break your sword and enter.

Goulong Ruyuan smiled bitterly.

Although Murong Ningxue's words seem to be accusing Zhao Kuangyin of being rude on the surface, in fact they do not allow Zhao Kuangyin to be here in the future.

I've never heard of anyone being so highly praised by Murong Ningxue.

a long time.

Goulong Ruyuan took a deep look at Murong Ningxueyou's eyes looking towards Zhao Kuangyin's departure direction outside the door, and sighed softly: "Miss cherishes it, Ruyuan is leaving!"

……

Liu Qi and Wu Lin sang along the way, before turning back to the small building, they heard a call in their ears: "The two big marshals stay!"

When they turned around, they saw Zhao Kuangyin holding his hand and standing behind them.

A strange light flashed in Wu Lin's eyes: "Brother, seeing each other so soon, shouldn't you want to go drinking with us?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head: "Of course! I came here to ask the two marshals a word."

Liu Qi frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "The two commanders fought the Jinrenyu in front of the Immortal Pass and outside Chengzhou City. Originally, both Song and Jin thought that the two commanders were bound to lose, but the two commanders still won. Although winning was difficult and terrific, but in the end he won."

"So" he looked at the two people in front of him: "I really want to know that when Wu Shuai took a mere 50,000 people to meet the 200,000 golden soldiers, and when Liu Shuai was alone, he was alone in the army. Even when thirty-four wounds were still not retreating, what was in my mind the official family of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, or the tens of thousands of people in Xianrenguan and Chengzhou city who were watching you fight?"

Wu Lin's eyes flashed, just as he was about to speak, but Liu Qi stopped him.

Liu Qi looked at Zhao Kuangyin up and down, and slowly said, "Brother's body posture is obviously walking in official footsteps. I don't know if he is a friend of the imperial city soldier Masi?"

The Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division was an organization of the Song Dynasty responsible for Beijing’s public security, spying, and secret supervision. Its powers are somewhat similar to those of the Dongchang of later generations. Zhao Kuangyin’s problems were so strange that Liu Qi couldn’t help but wonder who had instigated him. Come and say something uncomfortable with Wu Lin.

Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly, and waved his hand freely: "Do the two marshals think I look like?"

Liu Qi is still pondering, but Wu Lin has already pushed him dissatisfiedly: "Old Liu, what the hell are you doing? You are also the one who got out of the dead, and you used to be the big soldier with the brother in front of you. Taste, you should also know that he is definitely not a donkey whose horses are unstable on the horses of the imperial city soldier."

Liu Qi nodded silently and approved Wu Lin's inference.

In fact, with his eyesight, even from the sound of Zhao Kuangyin's drums, he can know that Zhao Kuangyin is definitely a battle-tested fighter.

Anyone can beat the drum, but not just anyone can beat the real drum.

That kind of killing air is enough to hide no matter how clever the disguise technique is.

Wu Lin pushed Liu Qi away impatiently, and smiled at Zhao Kuangyin: "Brother, I don't know why you are asking such strange questions, but Old Wu can think of you, so Old Wu tells you the truth. His mother used to lead soldiers. When he rushed, I didn’t even think of the emperor now. The emperor’s official family was aloft, and we were fighting desperately in front. He went to Mingzhou and was ready to jump into the sea to escape for his life at any time. His grandmother!"

Zhao Kuangyin was thoughtful, but Wu Lin went on to say: "Before leaving the city gate, I think there are still hundreds of thousands of eyes watching us in the Immortal Pass. Once the city is broken, these people will be The golden man slaughtered like a pig, a dog, a cow, and a sheep. His grandmother’s life was hundreds of thousands. If Old Wu was so unconscionable like the emperor’s official, for the hundreds of thousands of lives, Old Wu would have to attack him. Mother's Jin Bing turned on his back alone."

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly: "Wu Shuai is really quick to talk, Liu Shuai must have the same heart, and the same heart?"

Liu Qi hesitated, nodded slowly, but looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "I don't know what brother do you mean by asking this?"

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth: "Only one person will serve the world, not the world. Since the two marshals can go forward for the Xianrenguan and hundreds of thousands of people in Chengzhou city, they are brave and fearless. Death, why do you have the heart to sit back today and watch the millions of elders in Jiangbei fall into the hands of the golden men, crying and crying all day long?"

Liu Qi sighed softly: "But today's emperor official..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Kuangyin had already cut off: "But the two marshals pretended to be not the emperor's official, but the people of the world, didn't they?"

Liu Qi frowned and said, "Little brother, the situation is better than human beings. We have no soldiers and powers, so what can we do?"

Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly: "The two great marshals still have this passion and life, even if they are really in power, the two great marshals can also raise their swords to the palace and admonish each other with death. Even if they fight for this life, It's better to spend your time here all day long and have fun. Isn't it?"

Wu Lin and Liu Qi glanced at each other, both faces faintly ashamed.

Zhao Kuangyin narrowed his gaze and said, "What's more, the world is not a world where the emperor has one official. If the state is indifferent, even if the two leaders have a new master, they will take their place. As long as it is. I really care about the people, so everyone in the world, including Fang Jin’s emperor official, has no qualifications and reasons to blame the two marshals..."

Liu Qi's eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Bold!"

He took a step forward and rushed to Zhao Kuangyin: "You dare to instigate a general and rebel against the emperor and stand on his own. Knowing that this is the sin of the Jiu Clan?!"

Zhao Kuangyin's gaze turned back at Liu Qi without letting it go: "Song has said from the bottom of his heart that millions of elders in Jiangbei are wailing and crying, day and night. If we can't return Jiangbei as soon as possible, regain my rivers and mountains. What face is sitting peacefully in his Daqing Hall?"

Liu Qi still stared at Zhao Kuangyin, but his eyes gradually became soft, and Wu Lin also walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

Liu Qi turned around and shook his head to Wu Lin and said, "Old Wu, it seems that we must recognize our old age."

Wu Lin gave a wry smile, exchanged a look with Liu Qi, but did not speak.

Liu Qi turned his head to look at Zhao Kuangyin, his words were cold, and he said word by word: "Tonight, we should have never heard of it, but if from now on, someone will say such rebellious remarks in front of me, no matter what. Who is that person, I will not forgive him, and will never be merciful."

He didn't wait for Zhao Kuangyin's answer. He turned around and walked around Wu Lin, but stood still, and said indifferently: "Tomorrow, I will go to the hall with Wu Lin to admonish him."

Wu Lin let out a long laugh, turned his head and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "Yes, little brother, you are good! Da Song will look at you from now on!"

They were just waiting to leave when they heard Zhao Kuangyin's call: "Two generals..."

They turned around, just in time to see Zhao Kuangyin slowly uncovering the human skin mask on his face.

Thunderbolt in the blue, nothing more than that.

With the cultivation of Liu Qi and Wu Lin, they couldn't help but stay there for a while.

After a while, they thought of leaning over to salute, but they were supported by Zhao Kuangyin.

They raised their heads and ran into Zhao Kuangyin's eyes: "If we can't save the millions of people in Jiangbei from the deep waters, and if we can't regain the old rivers and mountains as soon as possible, what face do we have to sit on the throne of the Daqing Hall?"

There was a fire of sincerity and enthusiasm in his eyes: "I would like to drink with the two marshals, it is the blood of Hulu! It is the flesh of the golden man! I don't know if the two marshals are willing to be with me on the battlefield. Have fun and drunk on top?"

Liu Qi and Wu Lin stayed there for a while, and then the three of them joined together and burst into laughter.

Wu Lin and Liu Qi looked at each other, and they both saw determination and eagerness in each other's eyes.

At that moment, they had already determined to put aside all their scruples.

As long as today's emperor officials can beat such drums and say such things, they will throw their heads and shed blood for it without complaint or regret.

What's more, the promise made by this emperor official to the two of them has exceeded the maximum limit that any king can make.

As long as they can really relax on the battlefield again, regain the rivers and mountains, and go straight to Huanglong, even if they end up in the end, they will have no regrets.

After all, no matter how long it has been since leaving the battlefield

Their blood

But it's still as hot as before!

……

Han Shizhong looked into the distance with a calm gaze.

I still can't see the shadow of the golden iron cavalry, but I can already see the smoke and dust rolled up by the cavalry, billowing like a giant dragon.

finally reached.

The Jin Bing was 600,000, and they moved south in two ways. On his own side, he was stationed by the Han's army, who was personally led by him. He was absolutely sure that he could keep the Hongxian Pass safe and solid.

But I don't know the direction of Shunchang, but who will lead the Yue Family Army

Can they hold the 400,000 golden soldiers along the way

But he immediately got rid of all these thoughts.

The golden man in front of him can gradually see his head and face.

A long-lost feeling filled his whole body in an instant.

Five years, a full five years.

He Han Shizhong finally smelled this kind of blood rushing in hand-to-hand combat.

In the billowing smoke, he let out a long laugh, and shouted at the soldiers who were already ready to go behind him: "Kill!"

……

In the Daqing Hall, the officials looked solemn, but they looked at Zhao Kuangyin on the dragon seat, and no one dared to whisper.

In front of Zhao Kuangyin, there were several battle reports sent from various places on the Long Case.

Five days ago, Han Shizhong defeated the Jinren West Road army pioneer at Hongxian Pass. The West Road army failed to attack the city and was blocked in front of Hongxian Pass.

Five days ago, the Jinren East Road army conquered Chenzhou City, only three hundred miles away from Shunchang City.

Shunchang borders Yingshui in the north and Huaihe River in the south, which is the only way for Jinbing to go south.

If Shunchang falls, Lin'an is in danger! Da Song is in danger!

At this time, although Liu Qi and Wu Lin had been subdued by themselves, they returned to their original positions to rectify the army, but the time was short in the end.

After all, these few armies were all separated by the supervising army sent by his original unscrupulous descendant.

Even Han Shizhong took a lot of effort to clean up his Han family army, and according to his own words, he still has not been able to restore his original combat effectiveness.

At the moment, it can also be used to fight against the Jinren, and only the Yue Family Army who has also entrusted Han Shizhong to train for more than two months.

However, compared with the Han Family Army who had Han Shizhong, the Yue Family Army, which should have been the strongest in combat power, lacked a true soul figure.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the two ministers standing silently under the steps, and knew what they were thinking.

Since the five days of the Golden Men conquered Sizhou, many of them have been quite reluctant to start the war.

Although they were also impassioned under the influence of that atmosphere that day, after all, once they fell into real life, they immediately became real.

Perhaps this is exactly the result of Qin Hui's hard work.

Although this old fox has not yet gone to the temple to attend the court meeting, Zhao Kuangyin can vaguely see the smile on his face.

He glanced at the main hall and the officials in a circle: "The golden army is divided into two routes and headed south, and the soldiers are directly pressing on Lin'an City. Don't you Aiqing have anything to say?"

Qin Xihuer stepped forward: "The minister has something to say!"

The ministers had a slight affair, and some familiar ones all gestured with their eyes, all with expressions that had long expected the situation in front of them.

When the Ziguan family did not listen to Qin Xianggong's words that day, they only tried to expel the Jinshi in court at the meeting, which caused the changes today.

As Qin Hui's righteous son, Qin Xi naturally wanted to take this opportunity to ask for an explanation for his adoptive father.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't show a trace of expression on his face like a sword, "Speak!"

Qin Xi unexpectedly did not mention Qin Hui in a single word, but only said: "The army of the golden men is coming fiercely, and if Shunchang is lost, Lin'an City is bound to be unprotected!"

"Yes", he raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuangyin, with a face full of concern: "For today's policy, on the one hand, we should order the various units of the Yue Family Army guarding Shunchang to move forward, and we must do our best to stop the enemy from under Shunchang. ; On the other hand, the minister is planning for your majesty. At this time, your majesty should imitate the story of the four years of Jianyan and move the saint to visit Mingzhou."

Zhao Kuangyin still had no expression on his face: "It seems that Qin Qing's family has decided that Shunchang City can't be defended?"

Qin Xi frowned and said: "There is a long-held rumor among the people:'Jurchen is dissatisfied and invincible', but now the Jinren East Road Army has a total of 400,000 people. What's more, the Jinren came here with great fighting spirit. , And different from other people. The son of a thousand gold does not establish a dangerous hall, and how can your majesty be in a dangerous place if he sends his majesty to the world?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly: "Did the Qin Qing family forget that Shaoxing was nine years old? Yue Fei also defeated the Golden Army 400,000 in Licheng and Yingchang, and wiped out more than half of the enemy?"

Qin Xi took another step: "Your Majesty, this time is different from the past. The minister thought that he would rather defeat in the Kingdom of Jin than let Yue Fei be the commander!"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed dumbly, and Longmu gave Qin Xi a little note: "This is the first time I have heard of this. I don't know what Qin Qing meant?"

Qin Xi was swept away by Zhao Kuangyin’s gaze. He shuddered for a while. He lowered his head hurriedly, but still kept saying, "Although your majesty is forgiving and pardons Yue Fei’s sins, it is an iron fact that Yue Fei premeditated to abolish the feudal clan. What's more, after Yue Fei survived this near death, His Majesty must not allow him to regain his military power, otherwise it will inevitably change."

There was another low noise from the Minister of Korea and China.

Qin Xi's suggestion is actually what many of them want to say.

Although ten years ago, the four iron armies of the Great Song Dynasty had a record of repeated defeats of the golden armies, but that was already a dead end.

Ten years of peace talks and setbacks have long eroded the aggressiveness and determination of these ministers.

Before they knew it, in the depths of their hearts, they had accepted that the military might of the Great King Kingdom was much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, and that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could hardly resist the judgment of the enemy.

The Jinren himself is still in the semi-barbaric stage, and his concern is not to open up the territory and expand the territory, but to be beautiful, Qiansi, and lose to the Jinren. At most, Qin Xianggong will mediate, pay more, and pay more courtesy. The wealth in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River can still be preserved.

And if Yue Fei took control of the military, it would be the dragon entering the sea and the tiger returning to the mountain.

Even if a loyal man who had been on the verge of life and death has finally regained the power to control his own destiny, he would still be willing to return all this, including his own life, to the hands of others

What's more, even if Yue Fei is truly loyal and has no ambitions, he should return from victory this time, and he should naturally be appointed as a noble officer to replace Qin Hui in the court hall. When they are scholars in the world, they will have to face up. Where to put it

Moreover, Qin Hui has dominated the court for nearly ten years. They have some kind of relationship with Qin Hui more or less. When Yue Fei was imprisoned, not many of them stood up and said a fair word for Yue Fei, once Yue Fei If you are in power, I am afraid that many people who stand in this hall will have to change.

So no matter what they said, they felt that Qin Xi’s words were very reasonable, and even many people were already prepared. As soon as Qin Xi finished speaking, they had to go forward and second, and together advise the person on the dragon seat. The emperor official who couldn't see what he was thinking.

The light from the corner of Qin Xi's eyes swept across the expressions of the ministers, and he knew what he had in his heart.

He deliberately looked at the empty space on the left side of the main hall train where the current tiger generals should stand in line, and smiled at Zhao Kuangyin: "Moreover, at this time, Yue Fei is avoiding crime at home. I am afraid that even if your majesty does not care about the predecessors, it is true. He wants to use Yue Fei as handsome, and I don’t know if Yue Fei is willing or unwilling?"

"Of course I do!"

A faint answer, as if thunder, shocked the audience in an instant.
