"Yue Shuai finally came out! Tell me to wait!" Yue Fei just walked out of the palace gate, interrupted his footsteps with a somewhat familiar cry.

"Liu Shuai?!" Yue Fei raised his head and looked at Liu Qi, who was in his armor, and turned out from the side of the palace gate. He couldn't help but frowned slightly, and subconsciously responded with a little surprise: "Liu Shuai is here. , Waiting for me, Yue?!"

Although Yue Fei and Liu Qi are in the military and political circles, they are often referred to as the tiger generals after the Song Dynasty’s Southern Crossing, but in fact, the family encounters between the two have been completely different from the beginning. It's totally all the way.

Liu Qi was born in a family of generals, and his family was much more wealthy than Yue Fei. When he was a child, his father also asked for civil and military training. Therefore, Liu Qi was also a master of civil and military. He was the only person in the army who was known as a Confucian general. , It was quite favored by the emperor Huizong, who claimed to be a romantic emperor in the Song Dynasty, and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility from the very beginning. Liu Qi himself was also talented and courageous. Both were top figures and served as the guardian of Longyou in his early years. In the years of war with Xixia, countless achievements have been made. Even in Xixia Country, mentioning the name "Liu Duhu" is enough to stop a child from crying at night, and his reputation is so great. As for Si, it can be said that it was as early as in Jurchen Gold. Before the man went south, Liu Qi's reputation and status had reached a peak that few martial artists at the time could reach.

However, Yue Fei lost his father since childhood. He was born in a very poor family. In his youth, he worked hard to make a living. Although he went through the war, he became a soldier, relying on his own swordsmanship, and accumulated hard work from the lowest sergeant. The lower-level officers were transferred to the lower ranks until they met by chance. During a command field battle, he was favored by the then highly respected military commander Zongze and taught him strategic warfare. Since then, he has gradually grown into the younger generation of the more famous generals in the Song army. However, compared with Liu Qi and other leaders in the outer towns, the position is still very different.

If it weren’t for the Jurchen gold who suddenly emerged from the white mountains and the black waters that day, they would have unexpectedly lifted a large army southward, and would have broken through the Bianjing artifact, and even caused the Song Dynasty’s national disaster that was almost wiped out at that time. Going to Beijing Qinwang, he was just a middle- and lower-level military officer Yue Fei, and it is absolutely difficult for him to get rid of all the shackles and gather morale under this extreme environment of chaos in the world. In just a few years, he will be with the Jurchen Jinren. The successive battles not only brought out an invincible iron army, but also achieved Yue Fei's reputation as the number one general in the Song Dynasty.

It can be said that before the Song Dynasty’s Southern Crossing, the status of Yue Fei and Liu Qi was very different, and the two garrisoned areas were different. I am afraid that Yue Fei knew the "Liu Duhu" who guarded the northwest and fought against Xia Guo. "It's a big name, but Liu Qi probably doesn't know which army or army this Yue Fei is from, and where he is sacred, and of course there is no relationship between them.

As for the changes in Jingkang, during the few years that the Song Dynasty moved to the south, it was even more fierce. Although Zhufei and Liu Qi did almost the same thing, they both gathered people's hearts and organized the army according to their own conditions. , To fight against the advancing Jurchen gold, but under such conditions, it is naturally impossible to have any connection with each other. It can only be the brothers climbing the mountain, each working hard, the same, nothing more than That is the hero of fighting against foreign insults and defending the country and the people.

Of course, as the forces between Yue Fei and Liu Qi became stronger, they gradually shifted from defensive to offensive in the battle against the Jurchen Golden Invaders. After their achievements became clear, they knew each other that there was such a or several brother army. , Was doing the same thing, was doing the same endeavor, and when it was, King Kang Zhaogou had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, built Kang in the south of the Yangtze River and re-established the Song Dynasty. With the restoration of central command, Yue Fei, Liu Qi and At that time, the various troops led by famous ZTE generals such as Wu Jie brothers and Han Shizhong had also split and attacked under the unified command of the central center. They had fought several cooperative battles. The mutual communication between Yue Fei and Liu Qi was mostly in these areas. What was fought during the second battle, but that they were already generals on the day, and they were in their stubbornness. Of course, the messenger's letters were all just military affairs, not personal friendship. Up.

This is not to say that the friendship between Yue Fei and Liu Qi is extensive, but they are more about the feelings of current heroes and sympathy. On weekdays, there may be many different things, and there may not have been only a few words more than ten years ago. However, Just as Yue Fei knew that Lin'an had stayed behind, but was forced by Qin Hui to step forward and had to make the decision to be imprisoned in the palace, the first thing he thought of was to make an arbitrary decision and ask Liu Qi to enter Beijing to stabilize Lin'an. The situation of the military, such a move in such a situation, it is nothing more than to temporarily entrust his own fortune and life to the great Song Dynasty to Liu Qi's hands, but Yue Fei did it without hesitation, and Liu Qi must know him. Fan came and ordered the sergeants to forcibly enter the government offices of the various ministries in Lin'an. No matter how painstaking, and no matter what the result, they will inevitably be charged with a charge of holding a minister and having unruly intentions. The literati holding the pen in his hand would inevitably become a treacherous minister who is ruining the country. Even in his entire life, he is bound to be involved in this matter. But However, after Liu Qi received the news from Yue Fei, he left so quickly and came without hesitation.

In fact, most of the ZTE tiger generals after the Song Dynasty sailed to the south were also related to this kind of relationship. After all, the most taboo among the courts was that their gang of military generals who held the military power were in contact with each other. These generals We should have a heavy hand at the time, each side, and we can’t avoid such worries about the court, so even the friendship between Liu Qi and Wu Lin that they often use their arms together is also caused by them. Deprived of military power, the situation that appeared after being idle was just a heroic acquaintance, not on the surface, just as Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were more or less in the past, and there were also some rivalry between Yuliang, but Yue Fei was wronged and imprisoned. It was Han Shizhong who rushed for him several times to call for help, and when Yue Fei was escorted to Fengbo Pavilion and almost succumbed to his death, it was Han Shizhong who rushed to the palace on horseback, willing to abandon his life and save Yue Fei's life.

This kind of acquaintance and respect that looks like a passerby in an emergency, and puts one’s life on one’s face in an emergency, is very different from the literati’s reciprocal and courteous interactions, and cannot be compared, so Before Yue Fei stepped out of the imperial city, he also knew that someone might meet at the gate of the imperial city, but he never expected that Liu Qi would come personally. Waiting here, after all, the acquaintance between him and Liu Qi was originally a must. There should be no such courtesy.

"Yes, I've waited for Yue Shuai for half an hour." Liu Qi nodded. He looked at Yue Fei and slowly said, "Not only I am waiting for Yue Shuai, I'm afraid the entire army of Song Dynasty is waiting. To Yue Shuai!"

"Oh?!" Yue Fei fixedly looked at Liu Qi, as if he wanted to see something from his face, and then said for a long time: "Yue does not understand what Liu Shuai means!"

"Lin'an city tonight is so joyful and festive", Liu Qi raised his face, looked at the colorful night sky reflected by the continuous explosion of fireworks and firecrackers, and sighed for a long time: "This is what all the people of Song Dynasty have been eagerly waiting for. At this time, it can be said that it is the time when you and my lifelong dream are most likely to be realized. However, there are still so many people in Lin'an City that cannot be happy, such as me and Yue Shuai!"

"Liu already understands what Liu looked at when Yue Shuai walked out of the imperial city," Liu Qi looked at Yue Fei and said, "Liu knew that Yue Shuai understood what Liu was talking about."

"Your Majesty’s imperial conquest. When Wei Yuemou was staying in Lin’an, he promised that he would do everything he could, optimistic about Lin’an, optimistic about the Song Dynasty, and will never cause the slightest chaos in the Song Dynasty. "On the day of triumphant return", Yue Fei smiled faintly, and said categorically: "With these words and words, to this day, Yue has always been in his heart. He dare not forget or forget, and there will be no change in the slightest!"

Of course, Yue Fei trusted Liu Qi. If he and Liu Qi were on the battlefield, he believed that he and Liu Qi could safely hand over their backs to each other and fight shoulder to shoulder to the last minute of life and death, even just a few days ago. He also preferred to take on the big relationship and ask Liu Qi to lead his troops into Lin'an. This is an entrustment that has been delivered to his family and his life is more than unknown, but Yue Fei can still trust Liu Qi and the passionate general he knows. .

But now Yue Fei still prefers to speak clearly, because he really can't judge whether Liu Qi has any other thoughts in this situation.

After all, according to what Qin Hui said, today’s Lin’an city, about the emperor’s official family, I’m afraid it’s already heated up. At this time, the movements of the generals, especially him and Liu Qi, are the most influential in the military circles of the Song Dynasty. Li’s generals actually control the defense of the entire Lin’an city. Although the city has its own power to be loyal to the imperial family, if he and Liu Qi intend to make a difference, with their abilities, on this occasion, it will be earth-shaking. It is by no means impossible.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, power officials have come up all over the world. People who are in charge of power and who are good at dismantling and standing up are everywhere. What's more, it is a common occurrence to add a yellow robe and change the dynasty, even the Taizu Emperor Yuchai of this dynasty. The method used by the clan to get the world in his hands is no different. Under such a temptation, the pure minister who can withstand it, through the ages, is really unique.

Yue Fei can absolutely trust Liu Qi’s personal and belongings, but he still wants to put it first, and talk about everything only after the emperor’s official’s return to the court, to block all possibilities first, lest Liu Qi really say something. Whatever comes, it's not easy to end up with each other.

"Hahaha", Liu Qi's eyes focused on Yue Fei, and he raised his head suddenly after a long while, laughing.
