Han Tao accompanied dozens of cavalry, walked out of the north gate of Jiangyuan City, and went straight to Qingyun Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And he didn't know that since he left, Qi Yuanzhen was brutally beheaded, and his beloved son Han Xiaoyue was also captured by the Song army.

Galloping horses trampled through the dust, kicking up a cloud of dust. Han Tao thought in his heart: "This assassin's tricks are strange, I'm afraid he will go and return." I have to speed up, otherwise with my son's martial arts, I am afraid that I will not be the match for the three of them. Thinking of this, he urged the horse vigorously.

"Hurry up! Keep up! Han Tao shouted to the soldiers behind him.

Long Jiu was lying on the bed, thinking in his mind about the picture of Zhang Qi, the general of the Song Kingdom, coming to persuade him to surrender.

"With the heroism of the lord of Longzhai, I am afraid that I am a little condescending to only be the lord of a mountain. As long as the owner of the village is willing to agree to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely crown you as the lord of Jiangyuan City. At that time, the owner of the dragon village will not have to succumb to such a small hillside. ”

"Master Longzhai, you have to see the practice clearly. A moment of loyalty will only cost you your life. Besides, Shu has never treated you well, and you don't need to be loyal to Shu. ”

"I'm waiting for good news, the master of Longzhai should think about it again. If the owner of the village intends to take refuge, he will send a messenger to Song Ying to report the news. ”

Thinking of this, Long Jiu suddenly sat up.

"Come on......" Long Jiu was just about to call someone to come, but he glanced back at his wife who was sleeping, and he didn't make a loud noise. Put on your shoes and put on a tiger skin jacket and walk out of the bedroom.

"The owner of the village!" Two minions stood outside the door, bowing and saluting.

"You two, go and see what the envoys of the Song State are doing now?"

"Return to the lord of the village. The envoys of the Song State should be sleeping peacefully in the room at this time. According to the instructions of the owner of the village, we have ordered people to guard it strictly, and someone will come back to report every move! ”

Long Jiu nodded and said, "Zhang Qiren is gone, but he left a stalker, you must keep an eye on me!" Just about to enter the house, he turned back and said: "By the way, every move must come back to report to me, even if it is a latrine, how long it has been, you have to come one by one!" ”

"Yes!"

The people of Qingyun Village had already rested at this time, leaving only some minions patrolling Qingyun Mountain. Traditionally, every day, different altar owners would send their subordinates to patrol the mountains. Due to the extraordinary times, during the recent patrols, the altar owners will also personally lead the patrol team. In order to prevent the officers and soldiers from suddenly attacking, or the Song soldiers from sneaking up.

Han Tao hurried to the bottom of the mountain. I saw that there were three pergolas at the foot of the mountain, which were for rest. A few wooden stakes were erected on the edge of the pergola, so that the horses could be tied here and walked up the hill. Due to the urgency of the matter, Han Tao did not tie the horse here, but quickly whipped the horse and went straight to the mountain. The horse's speed was fast, and after a while, it came to the gate of Qingyun Village.

"Lord Qi only said that Qingyunzhai was a group of bandits, and I thought it was just a few hundred rogues. But today, just looking at the posture of this gate, you know that this gang of bandits is not simple at all. Han Tao sighed. He didn't expect that the bandits' cottage would be built so magnificently, and it was no different from the regular army's camp.

Before he could gain a firm foothold, he saw someone shouting from the high wall of the cottage: "Who is coming?" Why visit Qingyunzhai late at night? ”

Han Tao did not dismount, and replied loudly: "I am Han Tao, the general of Shu State, and I have something important to see your village master!" ”

After a long time, no one answered. Han Tao was a little impatient and said, "Hey! Hurry up and open the walled door, I am Han Tao, the general of Shu Kingdom! ”

As soon as the words fell, the gate "Kerala" opened. A group of people walked out head-on, lined up to firmly guard the gate of the wall. At the end of the line, one person stepped out, and with the help of the lantern torches around him, he could barely tell that it was a man who looked like a general in shabby armor.

"Could it be that the Song Kingdom has taken over here?" When Han Tao thought of this, he couldn't help but be a little panicked. If it is really taken over by the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that none of the dozens of horses I brought will be able to go back.

"Is this the one who came, Han Tao, who is known as the general of Shu Kingdom?" The man in the shabby armor asked.

Han Tao settled down and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man in the shabby armor laughed and said, "Come to my Qingyun Village and ask me who I am?" You're really good at laughing, of course I'm from Qingyunzhai! I am the master of the Wolong Altar in Qingyun Village! ”

"It turned out to be a false alarm!" Han Tao thought secretly in his heart, "If Song Guo really rebelled against this Qingyun Village, I'm afraid he will immediately send troops to encircle and suppress me." Looking at this situation, Qingyunzhai should still be loyal to the imperial court. It's just that I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I'm still not at ease. This trip must meet the owner of the village to be at ease. ”

Thinking of this, Han Tao arched his hand and said, "Lord of the Altar, disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Sheng Youhuai laughed and said, "General Han, you have a pair of armor, and I also have a pair of armor." It's just that your armor is much brighter than mine, and a hundred times more majestic! Can the general let the grass people try on this armor of yours, which is also majestic? ”

After hearing this, Han Tao smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about the armor." Trouble the lord of the altar to report, saying that Han Tao, the general of Shu State, has something important to ask to see! ”

"Maybe I'm going to disappoint General Han. The owner of the village met guests today and feasted until late. Now that I have fallen asleep, I am afraid that it will be tomorrow when the general wants to see the owner of the village! ”

"The stakes are high! Please inform the altar owner! ”

Sheng Youhuai frowned and said, "General Han, I think I've made it very clear. The owner of the village is resting, please come back tomorrow! With that, he turned and left.

Where can Han Tao let him go, urging the horse to break into the gate.

"Stop! Stop him! The minions hurriedly held knives and guns to block them, but they were all blocked by Han Tao with the barrel of a gun.

Seeing this, Sheng Youhuai jumped up and rushed up to meet Han Tao. Han Tao used the barrel of the gun to block Sheng Youhuai, but he grabbed the barrel of the gun, and he was unaware of being overturned to the ground by him and rolled off the horse's back.

Han Tao rose from the ground and scolded: "Bold fanatics, dare to attack the generals of the imperial court!" ”

Dozens of cavalry brought by Han Tao dismounted one after another to support Han Tao. Han Tao shook his arms, shook off everyone's support, and shouted, "Carry my gold-backed knife!" ”

Sheng Youhuai looked Han Tao up and down, and said with a twitch of the corners of his mouth: "Okay, I want to see what the imperial court generals are capable of!" ”

Han Tao picked up the gold-backed knife, and the blade pointed at Sheng Youhuai and said: "If I defeat you, immediately let me go out of the gate and let me in, otherwise, you will all be punished for treason!" ”

"Okay!" Sheng Youhuai smiled and said, "If I defeat you, take off your armor and give it to me immediately!" ”

"It's a deal!"

"Never break your word!"

Han Tao shouted, picked up the golden-backed knife and slashed at Sheng Youhuai. Sheng Youhuai lightly blocked the golden sword in his hand, and his other hand touched Han Tao's neck, wanting to throw Han Tao to the ground with a back fall. Han Tao didn't let him succeed, dodged a step back, and dodged. Sheng Youhuai pressed forward step by step, chased after him, and stabbed with his sword. The sound of "bell" was blocked back.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, but they didn't have the upper hand over each other.

"I'm just afraid that if I continue to fight, I will miss a big thing!" Han Tao thought to himself, "This so-called altar master is really good at kung fu. It seems that this 'golden back' must be used to defeat him! ”

Thinking of this, Han Tao used this trick "Golden Back Heart", which was pointed at by the blade, and the move was fatal. Sheng Youhuai suddenly felt that his knife technique had changed, but he didn't respond to it, and after only three or five rounds, he was powerless.

"Ahh Sheng Youhuai didn't pay attention, so he missed a knife. And if this knife is cut off, I am afraid that his head will be moved immediately. At this time, Han Tao withdrew his hand.

Sheng Youhuai subconsciously closed his eyes, and secretly shouted in his heart: "My life is over!" But after waiting for a long time, I didn't feel that my head was different.

Han Tao retracted his strength at the last moment, saving Sheng Youhuai from being killed. Sheng Youhuai opened his eyes and saw that Han Tao's subordinates were merciful, so he immediately knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "General Xie's grace not to kill!" ”

Han Tao threw the golden-backed knife to the soldiers accompanying him, stepped forward to help him up and said, "Master Shengtan, your kung fu is also very good. Hurry up, please! ”

Sheng Youhuai stood up embarrassedly and said with a smile: "General Han, I was careless." I wanted to try the general's kung fu, but I made a fool of myself. "General, please hurry!" ”

Han Tao was just about to go in, but he stopped again and said, "I heard just now that the owner of the village is resting, and I am afraid that entering like this will disturb the owner of the village." So go and report for me, and I'll wait here. It's just that I ask the altar owner to inform the owner of the village that Han really has something important to ask to see! ”

Sheng Youhuai gave a thumbs up and said, "General Han is doing things properly!" The grass people will go back and report it! After speaking, Sheng Youhuai ordered his minions to open the door of the village, and moved out several rattan chairs and stools for the officers and soldiers to rest.

Sheng Youhuai trotted all the way to the outside of Long Jiu's bedroom. When the minions at the door of the bedroom saw him coming, they stepped forward and saluted. Sheng Youhuai motioned for them to get out of the way, but the minions blocked him.

"The lord of the altar, the owner of the village has just fallen asleep. Is there anything that matters? ”

Sheng Youhuai hurriedly said: "Get out of the way, there is Han Tao, the general of Shu State, who has come to see him at the foot of the mountain, it seems that there is something important!" ”

As soon as they heard that there was something important, the minions did not dare to stop it, and hurriedly gave way to both sides. Sheng Youhuai walked straight to the door and said loudly: "Ninth Master! Han Tao, the general of Shu under the mountain, came to ask for a meeting, and there were important matters to discuss! ”

Hearing footsteps inside, the door opened. Long Jiu was already dressed and said with a smile: "I know that I am afraid it will be difficult to sleep tonight, when will my Qingyun Village become a place where all families will fight?" As he spoke, he ordered, "Hurry up and invite General Han to the door to meet you in the council room!" ”

Sheng Youhuai led the order and led his subordinates to simply line up to greet Han Tao. Long Jiu was already neatly draped and waiting in the council hall.

Han Tao was guided by Sheng Youhuai and came to the conference hall. The hall is very open, with more than ten tables, chairs and benches on the east and west sides, and three leopard skins on each wall. Next to the wall, there is a row of weapon shelves, all kinds of knives and spears are very complete. There is a platform in the center, and there is a square solid wood with a length and width of several zhang on the platform, and it is covered with several thick layers, and it is impossible to see what kind of animal fur it is, soft and warm, and Long Jiu is sitting on it. More than a dozen minions stood in shifts, waiting to be dispatched. The beloved daughter Long Yan and the three altar masters stood on both sides, and their eyes focused on Han Tao who had just walked in.

When Long Jiu saw him come in, he stood up and walked down the steps, and said as he walked: "General Han came to Qingyun Village, he missed the distance, forgive his sins in person!" ”

Han Tao said with a smile: "Lord Longzhai, Han came to visit late at night, disturbing your rest!" ”

"Where, in extraordinary times, the imperial court can come to Qingyun Village to inspect at any time, and Long welcomes it with both hands!" Long Jiu said, turned around and pointed to the huge solid wood in the center and said, "General Han, you and I can sit on the same couch!" ”

Han Tao was not polite, only said the word "please", and the two sat down together.

After sitting down, Han Tao said: "Owner, time is pressing, so I will go straight to the topic." Today, the Song State sent an envoy to the city to persuade Lord Qi to surrender, but Lord Qi refused in person. Presumably, the Song Kingdom should have also sent envoys to Guizhai! ”

Long Jiu didn't hide it, and nodded yes.

"Then I don't know, what is the idea of the village?"

Long Jiu knew that the purpose of Han Tao's trip was this, so he smiled and said, "General Han, you must have seen Long's determination to be loyal to the imperial court. The reason why Jiangyuan City was heavily guarded and the Song army did not dare to attack easily was because of the important information provided by Long. Could it be that the general is afraid that Long will not defect? ”

Han Tao nodded and smiled: "The owner of the village is a cheerful person, and he explained the purpose of Han's trip in one word." Since the owner of the village is indeed resolute in serving the country, Han will not ask any more. I believe that the owner of the village must have his own plans. Then Han won't bother much, farewell! ”

Seeing him stand up, Long Jiu hurriedly stood up and said, "General Han, are you going to leave just now?" You see, we've only said a few words! ”

Han Tao walked towards the door and said, "Owner of the village, there is no need to say much. The purpose of my trip has been achieved, as long as the owner of the village keeps his promise, I will be relieved. The city is busy, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Say goodbye, say goodbye! ”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier ran in outside the door, wanting to whisper a few words in Han Tao's ear. Han Tao looked around, the people in Qingyun Village were all looking at him, and at this time, he whispered for fear of arousing suspicion, so he said loudly: "Don't whisper to me, what is there to say out loud." Qingyunzhai is loyal to the imperial court, and it is his own people. ”

The soldier looked around and said, "General, bad news is coming from Jiangyuan City. The assassins went and returned, Lord Qi was beheaded, and General Han Xiaoyue was besieged and his whereabouts are unknown! ”

Shocked by the bad news, everyone was dumbfounded.

Long Yan ran forward and asked loudly, "What did you say happened to Han Xiaoyue?" ”

"General Han Xiaoyue...... Whereabouts unknown......"

After hearing this, Long Yan glanced back at her father. Long Jiu stood up and walked off the stage, walked to Han Tao's side and said, "General Han, this ......"

Han Tao's face was full of sadness, and he was in a hurry, and he hated himself to death in his heart at this moment. He was so remorseful that he had missed the Assassins' chance to return. Not only did Qi Yuanzhen, who was an official in the same dynasty, lose his life, but his beloved son didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"At this moment, I'm afraid that Jiangyuan City has become a mess, and I must go back immediately!" Han Tao thought to himself.

"Prepare your horse to return to the city!" Han Tao shouted, "Lord of Longzhai, let Qingyun Village strengthen its vigilance to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack!" After speaking, he rode his horse and left Qingyun Mountain.

Seeing this, Long Yan pulled Long Jiu's arm and said, "Father, what should we do?" ”

Long Jiu was silent for a long time, and Li Yizheng stepped forward and said, "The owner of the village, there is still an envoy from the Song Kingdom staying in the village, how to send it?" ”

After hearing this, Long Jiu hurriedly summoned someone and said, "Lord Qi lost his life for the imperial court, what are we hesitating about?" Bring me the messenger! ”

After a while, the minions escorted the sleepy-eyed messenger over. I saw that this person was disheveled and disheveled. At first glance, it was clear that someone had dragged it out of the bed.

"Owner, what does this mean?" The envoy looked around puzzled.

Long Jiu didn't look at him squarely, and ordered: "What a despicable Song State, he actually sent an assassin to assassinate him!" Come on, pull him out and cut him into eight pieces! ”

With an order, the minions escorted the messenger out. As he walked, the envoy shouted: "The two countries are at war, do not kill the envoy!" Long Jiu, you dare to kill me! ”

Long Jiu smiled slightly: "I'm just going to kill you to sacrifice the flag!" Pass my order, the whole village of Qingyun Village is on guard, and if you find an unknown person, you will not be able to do it! ”
