Heaven-grabbing
Zhao Pu said eloquently: "Miss Lin thinks that my Great Zhou and the Great Tang Dynasty are opposing countries, so they don't conspire with each other. But with the current trend of my big week, we are in a cold situation. Lin Xiuzhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Datang and Bi Zhou are actually cold-tongued, I want to hear it." Zhao Pu said: "The initiator of all the southern offensive plans is Han Tongye. Now that the new emperor is young and Han Tong has monopolized power, what does Miss Lin think of the situation in Datang?" Lin Xiuzhen thought for a while, and said: "Datang is in danger!" Zhao Pu said: "Han Tong will exclude dissidents, General Zhao, what do you think of the situation?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "There will be no place for me to stand?" Zhao Pu said: "The first emperor Bento was isolated to Han Tong and General Zhao, how could Han Tongquan invade the government and the opposition to have such a situation." If General Zhao can thwart Han Tong, imagine General Zhao's generosity and kindness and friendship with the two, will he invade the south?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Everyone hopes for a peaceful and prosperous era, if I can control the situation of the Great Zhou, I will be good with the Tang Dynasty for eternity." Lin Xiuzhen said: "Really?" Zhao Pu said: "Isn't it true?" Huang Wen said: "Yes, Xiuzhen, our Datang and General Zhao are cold lips and teeth." Why don't you wait for this matter first, and then it's not too late to return to Jinling?" Zhao Pu said: "Now is the time for General Zhao to hire people, the two of them temporarily live in the mansion, and after the defeat of Han Tong, General Zhao will ask the emperor to retire and write a covenant of eternal reconciliation, and Miss Lin will bring it back to Datang, isn't it beautiful!" Lin Xiuzhen was suspicious and entered the mansion with him.
When I entered the house, I saw that there were still people in the house. Huang Wen looked at it carefully and recognized Wang Xianqi, who he had seen in Xiangcheng back then. When Wang Xianqi saw Huang Wen, he immediately hugged him warmly and said, "Tenth brother, I haven't seen him for many years, do you still recognize my brother?" Wang Xianqi was lukewarm to Huang Wen back then, and today he is so enthusiastic, which makes Huang Wen a little surprised. But he still admired Wang Xianqi very much, and said with a smile at the moment: "Fifth brother, how can I forget you? In the past few years, I have missed all my brothers day and night. "Everyone was happy to catch up. It turned out that Wang Xianqi heard that there might be a change in Bianjing, so he returned to Beijing in advance, but he didn't expect to arrive at this juncture.
Everyone sat down, and after some reminiscence, Zhao Kuangyin told everyone to rest first and wait for the opportunity. And he went to the study with Zhao Pu to discuss.
Huang Wen and Lin Xiuzhen also walked to the guest room, ready to rest. On the way, Lin Xiuzhen said: "Brother Wen, who is this Wang Xianqi?" Huang Wendao: "He is also our sworn brother, when he attacked Xiangcheng with the second and third brothers, I knew him." Since then, he has been guarding Xiangcheng. Lin Xiuzhen said: "Even the people who have been guarding Xiangcheng have returned, it seems that your second brother is determined to win." Huang Wendao: "The second brother has been marching and fighting for many years, and such a big thing must be won." Lin Xiuzhen asked Huang Wen to sit in the room, and Huang Wen went in.
Lin Xiuzhen said: "Brother Wen, what day is today?" Huang Wen calculated, and couldn't help but say: "If we are in Jinling, it will be the day of our wedding." Lin Xiuzhen smiled like a flower and said: "It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, I didn't expect that we are now in a foreign country and our future is uncertain." Huang Wen said: "How can the future be uncertain? Lin Xiuzhen said: "What is the matter here? Your second brother ascended the throne?" Huang Wen said in surprise: "Xiuzhen, you can't talk nonsense." The second brother is loyal to the eldest brother, how can he ascend to the throne?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "I'm just guessing. I only feel that Zhao Kuangyin is unfathomable, especially Zhao Pu, who is scheming. None of these people can be trusted. Huang Wendao: "I believe in the second brother, his plan to win Hantong must be to protect the eldest brother's inheritance." Lin Xiuzhen said: "Okay, let's not talk about these people, as long as you can really cultivate eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty, I will support you to help him." So they sat down and drank their tea.
For Lin Xiuzhen, the wind and snow are very far away, and when they talk, they talk about the trend of the world. Lin Xiuzhen said: "Brother Wen, when the world is peaceful, we won't live in Jinling, where do you say to go?" Huang Wendao: "It's not the first village, it's like a paradise, we can live a quiet life." Lin Xiuzhen said: "What kind of place is Budi Village? I have never heard of it. Huang Wendao: "It's where I grew up." There are beautiful mountains and rivers, and there is no war, which can make us forget all the troubles of the world. Lin Xiuzhen said: "Is there really such a good place? Then why did you leave?" Huang Wen was silent, thinking that the current Budi Village should be an empty village, uninhabited, and the so-called paradise is just the environment. The people who used to live in the village, either for power or wealth, did not flee from this worldly strife.
Lin Xiuzhen saw that Huang Wen stopped talking, so she said: "Brother Wen, we should have married today, so are you willing to marry me?" Huang Wen held Lin Xiuzhen's hand, but he looked a little rough, knowing that it was caused by the frequent use of weapons. He said: "Xiuzhen, how could I not want to? I just want this matter to end quickly, and we can live a peaceful life." Lin Xiuzhen said: "I hope so." The two chatted a little, and then went their separate ways.
In the evening, a few more people came to Zhao Kuangyin's house, some of whom Huang Wen knew such as Liu Shouzhong and Liu Tingrang, and some who Huang Wen did not know. Huang Wen was not interested in paying attention to those people, so he only drank tea and chatted with Lin Xiuzhen in the back garden. They talked a lot, and it seemed that the world was about to be peaceful, and the flower world was just waiting for them to discover.
The next day, Zhao Kuangyin came to see Huang Wen and said, "Tenth brother, this is your sky-seizing bow and arrow." Huang Wen took it, looked at it carefully, secretly felt sad, and said, "I didn't expect it to be this bow and arrow that killed the eldest brother." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Tenth brother, the past can't be changed, let's look forward." After a pause, he said, "You put down your bow and arrows, and we will go to see Zhao Junshi." With that, he walked out with Huang Wen.
When I came to the study, only Zhao Pu was there. Zhao Pudao: "General Huang, when the sun is shining tomorrow, open the north gate of Bianjing, this important task belongs to you!" Huang Wendao: "Zhao Junshi, what does this mean?" Zhao Pudao: "We have received news that Han Tong colluded with the Khitan and prepared to attack our Great Zhou in the south. Empress Dowager Fu didn't know the general situation, so she mistakenly believed the fallacy and ordered General Zhao to lead the army to send troops. Huang Wen was greatly surprised, and said: "Then Bianjing City will not become the world of Han Tong?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's right! It seems that this is Han Tong's trick to get rid of my monopoly power!" Zhao Pu said: "Zhao has a plan, march to Bianjing halfway, and kill Han Tong by surprise." But there is one thing that must be done by General Huang. Huang Wendao: "What's the matter? Please Zhao Junshi say it directly!" Zhao Pudao: "Kill Han Hui!" Huang Wendao: "Why not Han Tong?" Zhao Pudao: "Han Hui guards the north gate of Bianjing, and is known as a husband who is brave enough to be a man." Once General Huang kills Han Hui and our army returns to Beijing, how can Han Tong be afraid? Although Huang Wen didn't understand the details, he was really happy to hear that the world was peaceful, and said, "Second brother, let me ask you something!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Please speak!" Huang Wen said: "There are two people I want, one is to protect the eldest brother, and the other is to protect the peace of the Tang Dynasty." Can the second brother promise me?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Tenth brother, as an elder brother, please rest assured! When our army returns to Bianjing, I will ask the emperor to repair the book and cultivate eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty." When Huang Wen heard this, he was very happy, and said: "Okay, I will remove Han Hui and open the north gate when I am in Yin!" Zhao Pu said: "There is also a general who will do this with General Huang." Huang Wendao: "Who?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "General Wang Xianqi!" Huang Wendao: "Okay, it's easy for me to kill Han Hui one-on-one." But to take his head among the hosts, someone must help him. Zhao Kuangyin: "Tenth brother, you just listen to the arrangement of the fifth brother." The fifth brother is out on important business now, and will come back in the evening to discuss specific matters with you. Huang Wen nodded in understanding.
So, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu left the house. Waiting in front of the mansion, there are also Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin. Zhao Guangyi came over to say goodbye to Huang Wen and said, "Tenth brother, just wait for you to open the door, and our brothers will gather together to share the glory and wealth!" Huang Wen said: "Guangyi, second brother and third brother, act carefully." The four of them mounted their horses and hurried away.
Huang Wen turned around, but saw Lin Xiuzhen standing at the door, smiling at him. Huang Wen walked over, Lin Xiuzhen said: "Don't worry, Zhao Pu has arranged everything, and it can't be successful!" Huang Wen said: "Xiuzhen, where are we going to pass the day?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "Let's go, let's go to the study first." Huang Wen didn't know what to do in the study, but he still followed Lin Xiuzhen to the study.
When she came to the study, Lin Xiuzhen asked Huang Wen to find her the four treasures of the study, Huang Wen found them one by one, laid out the paper, but asked: "Xiuzhen, what do you want to write?" Lin Xiuzhen smiled: "One day, I will first write a good book for the eternal world!" Huang Wen was happy when he heard it, and said: "So that's the case, then how are you going to write?" Lin Xiuzhen picked up the pen, but couldn't fall, and said: "I really don't know how to write." I'm just worried that Zhao Pu will write it when the time comes, he is scheming, and I don't know what mechanism will be hidden. Huang Wen was even happier and said, "It turned out to be to guard against Zhao Junshi." Then write it yourself. ”
Lin Xiuzhen thought for a while, and finally wrote: Today, I am Da Zhou and Da Tang, and I vow to cultivate the good of eternity. I wrote here, but I couldn't write anymore, put down my pen, and said, "Brother Wen, it's not appropriate for me to write like this, right?" Huang Wen looked at it and said: "Well, the book of reconciliation between the two countries can't be so simple." Lin Xiuzhen said: "I didn't mean that. You see, this 'big week' won't necessarily be a big week at that time. Huang Wen laughed out loud and said, "Xiuzhen, you think too much." Let's go for a walk in the back garden. Lin Xiuzhen said: "I can't be idle. Why don't we go out for a walk?" Huang Wen said: "Don't go out, what if you meet someone from the beggar gang?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "What are you afraid of, I think those beggars have no ability except for being able to do bad things secretly." Huang Wendao: "I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders early tomorrow morning, and I can't lose a big one because of a small one." Lin Xiuzhen curled her mouth. Huang Wen saw that her pouting appearance was particularly cute, and he couldn't help but fall for it.
The two were watching the fish by the pool, and suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Huang Wen, you have leisure!" Huang Wen looked back, but saw that it was a ragged person, and there were three people beside him, namely Meng Dan, Meng Zhi and Chang Pingzhou. Lin Xiuzhen saw it and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Do you still dare to come?" Chang Pingzhou said: "This is our helper Hou Shijie." Lin Xiuzhen was disdainful and said: "The name of the Hou gang leader is like thunder, and when I see it today, it's nothing more than that!" Hou Shijie said lightly: "I heard that Huang Wen knows the whereabouts of Jin Ju, so I came here to ask for advice." Huang Wendao: "What do you know?" Hou Shijie said: "If you know, you will say, so as not to suffer." Huang Wen laughed and said, "Joke, why should I tell you!" Hou Shijie said: "The secret of Budi Village has been in your Huang family for many years, but it was bought by our ancestors with blood and sweat, not your Huang family!" Huang Wen said: "What secret? Why have I never heard of it?" Hou Shijie said: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me, everyone in Budi Village knows it." Huang Wen was surprised: "Could it be that you didn't belong to the village before?" Meng Dan said: "The Hou gang leader left the village when he was young and went outside to explore the rivers and lakes, so he has today's status in the rivers and lakes. Huang Wendao: "So that's the case, it seems that we don't have people all over the world!" Hou Shijie said: "This is all your scheming father's arrangement, not your Huang family's arrangement." arranged for us to lurk in the various sects of the rivers and lakes in order to seek great things in the future. It's just that the old man's departure from Budi Village was arranged by your grandfather. ”
Huang Wen seems to have gradually understood, but not fully understood. He asked, "What is the secret of Budi Village?" Hou Shijie said: "As a member of the Huang family, you still come to ask me what I do?" Huang Wen said: "It's okay not to say it, but I really don't know where Jin Ju is." Hou Shijie said: "It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking!" Before the words fell, he slapped his palm. Huang Wen's Demon Sword was not on his body, so he fought with his bare hands.
Hou Shijie's palm technique is exquisite, ten times more subtle than Chang Pingzhou's. Moreover, the internal force is strong, and the applause is whistling, so Huang Wen dismantles it with his heart. Although Huang Wen doesn't know any subtle palm techniques, he learned in Xiaomeng Villa to turn sword moves into palm techniques, and today he still uses his palm as a sword to perform the ups and downs magic sword technique.
After more than 100 moves, both of them couldn't help but admire each other's martial arts. Hou Shijie said: "Boy, can you resist my eighteen dragon descending palms and hundreds of moves, which sect are you?" Huang Wendao: "This turned out to be the famous eighteen dragon descending palms!
In the fight between Huang Wen and Hou Shijie, the generals of the Zhao Mansion had already come over to stand around Lin Xiuzhen to protect her, and Huang Wen was relieved when he saw it. What he was worried about was that Meng Dan and the three of them took advantage of the fact that they couldn't part with each other, and used to hold Lin Xiuzhen hostage in order to blackmail him. In this way, the two of them passed more than 200 moves. Although Hou Shijie relied on the fierceness and subtlety of the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, he repeated a set of punches several times, and Huang Wen was already familiar with the moves. He used the depth of his internal strength to preempt Hou Shijie in his palm. In this way, Hou Shijie fell behind step by step and was forced to sweat.
Suddenly, Huang Wen struck Hou Shijie's right palm with one palm, and the two palms struck each other, and with a bang, Hou Shijie took three steps back, barely standing firm. Huang Wen took the opportunity to shoot it with both palms again, which was "Double Dragon going to sea". Hou Shijie couldn't avoid it, he took his palms hard, then took three steps back, and just stood firmly, he spit out a mouthful of blood. Huang Wen wanted to strike out with both palms again, but saw Meng Dan and Chang Pingzhou step forward and slapped Huang Wen. The two of them grabbed Hou Shijie's hand again, and the three of them flew up to the roof together by retreating, Meng Zhi also jumped up, and the four of them fled to the demon.
Lin Xiuzhen walked over and said, "Brother Wen, you are so powerful, you beat the four beggars' butts with urine." Huang Wendao: "It's not that I'm strong in martial arts, but that this Hou gang leader hasn't learned such a powerful kung fu." After a pause, he said, "Xiuzhen, fortunately we didn't go out, otherwise, the trouble would be even greater." Lin Xiuzhen said: "Their martial arts are low, with you, what are you afraid of?" Huang Wendao: "It seems that the beggar gang is determined to win what Jin Ju." In the future, we must always prevent them from grabbing Jin Ju, how is it good?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "I didn't expect that this Hou gang leader is also from your village. Your father is so scheming, why are you so stupid and don't know anything?" Huang Wen scratched his head, not knowing how to answer. Lin Xiuzhen continued: "Or, do you hide yourself deeper?" Huang Wen said: "Xiuzhen, are you also interested in that treasure?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "I'm only interested in you, what treasure, can't get into my eyes at all." He chuckled as he spoke. Huang Wendao: "I don't know where Jin Ju is, why do they all say that they are here?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "Brother Wen, do you remember the treasure of the Salt Gang that we seized in Jiangzhou?" Huang Wen nodded and said: "On the shore of the Han River, the city is full of gold. Jin Ju is remembered, and Qiankun is the front. A hole is opened, and the world is horizontal. This Jin Ju, is this the Jin Ju mentioned here?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "Very likely, otherwise, how could the beggar gang come to harass us again and again?" Huang Wen said: "On the shore of the Han River, where is it? The Han River stretches for thousands of miles, and it is impossible to find it next to each other?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "That's why they want to grab the Jin Ju." I think that all the secrets, including the specific location, should be hidden in the golden chrysanthemum. Huang Wendao: "What about the golden city? Budi Village, which is just like a paradise, is it not as good as the gold in the city? Although gold is precious, it is dead and has no feelings. It's impossible to live a lifetime in the face of cold gold, right?" Lin Xiuzhen said: "But in the eyes of many people, people die for money, and they don't want their lives, let alone care about the feelings between people." Huang Wen thought that Huang Feng was hiding so deeply, and Meng Ning and several other uncles turned against his father. and Meng Dan joined the beggar gang, especially Hou Shijie, who was actually arranged by his grandfather in the beggar gang, what is all this for?
At this time, a voice suddenly came: "Tenth brother, I heard that there was a sneak attack by the beggar gang just now, are you okay?" Huang Wen looked back, it turned out to be Wang Xianqi, and said: "Fifth brother, it was the leader of the beggar gang who came to rob me of something I didn't have." Are you done?" Wang Xianqi said: "Well, everything is arranged, just wait for an order." You have a heavy burden tonight, but you need to rest well. Huang Wendao: "Brother Wu, do you think we can open the north gate?" Wang Xianqi said: "Zhao Junshi arranged it, it must be possible." Lin Xiuzhen said: "You Zhao Junshi is a god, what tricks did he arrange?" Wang Xianqi said: "Zhao Junshi only arranged for me to open the north gate tomorrow, and I don't know anything else." Lin Xiuzhen said: "In that case, then Brother Wen and I will go back to the room to rest." With that, he pulled Huang Wen and walked to the guest room.
Wang Xianqi said suddenly: "Tenth brother, what kind of Jin Ju is the beggar gang want to rob?" Huang Wen was surprised, he didn't expect him to ask "Jin Ju". Huang Wendao: "Yes, but I really don't know what it is. Wang Xianqi was silent, and Huang Wen and Lin Xiuzhen went to rest.
Back in the guest room, Lin Xiuzhen still asked Huang Wen to sit in her room. Lin Xiuzhen said: "Brother Wen, do you think your fifth brother will be like a member of the beggar gang?" Huang Wen thought for a moment and said: "Probably not, the fifth brother doesn't care about those treasures that may not exist at all." Besides, the fifth brother is also a person who values affection and righteousness, and he will not be like a member of the beggar gang. Lin Xiuzhen shook her head and said, "I can't say." Anyway, we all have to be careful. At least, he won't harm us until tomorrow happens. ”
With nothing to do, Lin Xiuzhen took Huang Wen to the martial arts training hall. Looking at the shelves full of weapons, Lin Xiuzhen became excited and said, "Brother Wen, let's practice, okay?" Huang Wen knew that she liked to dance with knives and guns, so he agreed. So, the two took their weapons and fought.
After changing all the weapons, the sun was already setting. Lin Xiuzhen fell to the ground tired, and Huang Wen saw that she was sweating, so he picked up a towel and went over to help her wipe her sweat. Smelling the faint body fragrance emanating from her body, Huang Wen couldn't help but be fascinated. Lin Xiuzhen's face turned red and said, "Brother Wen, if you hadn't come to Bianjing, we would have been husband and wife." Huang Wen let out a "hmm". After wiping the sweat, Huang Wen didn't dare to look at her more, so he took a towel out to wash.
After a while, he came back and said, "Xiuzhen, let's go to rest early, right?" looked up, but Lin Xiuzhen was gone. Looking around, there was no Lin Xiuzhen. He was flustered and pounding, but he pretended to be calm and said loudly: "Xiuzhen, don't be joking! Come out, let's go to rest early!" He looked around, but there was no one to be seen. rushed out of the martial arts training hall, but there was no one around. alarmed Wang Xianqi, and brought a few family members over to ask: "Tenth brother, what happened?" Huang Wen hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, Xiuzhen is gone!" Wang Xianqi smiled: "Are you joking with me or is Xiuzhen joking with you?" Huang Wen said anxiously: "I don't think it's a joke, send someone to find it." Seeing his serious expression, Wang Xianqi immediately ordered everyone to search inside and outside the mansion. Huang Wen also looked around.
After a while, Lin Xiuzhen was still missing. Huang Wen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Wang Xianqi said: "Tenth brother, do you see that you have any enemies in Bianjing?" Huang Wen suddenly said: "Beggar Gang, it must be a Beggar Gang!" Wang Xianqi said: "You mean the few people who came to the mansion today?" So, Huang Wen quietly abducted Lin Xiuzhen from the Beggar Gang, and then everyone went to take the helm of the Beggar Gang. After hearing this, Wang Xianqi said: "So that's the case, then it should be them." Thinking that they can't fight you openly, they will do things in secret. Huang Wendao: "Fifth brother, last time the second brother sent someone to find out where Xiuzhen was, this time the second brother is not here, so I ask you to preside over the overall situation." Wang Xianqi said: "But I am rarely in Bianjing, and I am very unfamiliar with this place." So I called the butler and asked him what he was going to do. ”
After a while, the butler came. The housekeeper is surnamed Zhao, and everyone calls him the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper listened and said, "Usually, the old man is only responsible for managing the housework, but he has never touched the affairs of the general, this is ...... I don't know what to do either. Huang Wen was so anxious that he was about to cry, and said, "Fifth brother, is there no other way?" Wang Xianqi said: "Let me think about it." ”
After a while, Wang Xianqi still couldn't think of any way. While everyone was anxious, they heard that a beggar knocked on the door, left a letter and ran away. The family came in with the letter, and saw that the envelope was crooked and slanted with the words "Huang Wen Qinqi". Huang Wen hurriedly opened it, but saw that only a few words were scribbled on it: "Tomorrow, on the bank of the Jialu River in Zhuxian Town, south of the city." Wang Xianqi read it, and then showed it to the old housekeeper. After the old housekeeper saw it, he said: "Zhuxian Town is not far from Bianjing, and the Jialu River runs through Zhuxian Town. Good to find this place. Wang Xianqi comforted Huang Wen and said, "Tenth brother, don't worry. Miss Lin Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will be fine. Besides, the beggar gang wants you, not Miss Lin, so it's okay if you go. Huang Wen listened to him, although he was relieved a lot, but he was still relieved, and said: "The people of the beggar gang can do anything, what is this Jin Ju? Why does everyone think that I am here?" Wang Xianqi said: "Then do you know where it is?" Huang Wen shook his head and said: "I don't know either!" Wang Xianqi said: "Then why do they all think that you are here?" Huang Wen said: "Meng Dan said that he heard from my father and was taken by me." But I don't even know what it is, and I haven't seen it, so how can I take it?" Wang Xianqi was silent.
After a while, Wang Xianqi said: "Tenth brother, fortunately, it's Mao, and it's too late to open the north gate." I'll prepare a fast horse for you, what do you think you need?" Huang Wendao: "Fifth brother, fortunately, you have thought thoughtfully. Prepare a fast horse for me, and a bow and arrow to hang on the horse. Wang Xianqi immediately ordered the family to do it.
On the third watch, Wang Xun asked someone to bring the map of Bianjing. Neither of them could rest still, so they passed the time with tea in the back garden. Wang Xianqi took the map, spread it out on the stone table in the pavilion, pointed to one of the houses, and said, "Tenth brother, when you are ugly, you have to dispose of one person first." Huang Wendao: "This person is here?" Wang Xianqi nodded and said: "The second brother has already returned to Beijing with a pigeon to pass the book, and he has successfully moved in Chenqiaoyi, just waiting for the north gate to be opened." But before opening the door, be sure to remove Hantong first. Huang Wen understood and said, "This is cutting the grass and eradicating the roots." Wang Xianqi said: "That's right, first all Han Tong, then kill Han Hui, open the north gate, and the big thing will be done!" Huang Wendao: "It's not far away, and I will set off on the third watch." Wang Xianqi said: "Well, I will prepare enough coils for you soon, open the north gate, and you will go straight to Zhuxian Town to rescue Lin Xiuzhen, and then return to Nantang." Huang Wendao: "Fifth brother, there is one more thing that must be done." Wang Xianqi asked what was the matter. Huang Wendao: "What Xiuzhen asks for is the best book of the Great Zhou and the Tang Dynasty. Wang Xianqi said: "The second brother is ready, the north gate is opened, and the second brother can enter the city, and he can give you this book." Huang Wendao: "Don't you need to cover the emperor's jade seal?" Wang Xianqi said: "The second brother has all his own arrangements, and he will understand when the time comes." Huang Wen nodded in response.
So, Huang Wen and Wang Xianqi studied the route and details. At the end of the watch, after the two of them had dinner, Huang Wen went back to the guest room to rest. He crossed his legs and breathed up. At the third watch, Wang Xianqi came to knock on the door. After Huang Wen finished breathing, he suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic. Huang Wen took the Falling Demon Sword and came to the gate. Seeing that there was already a horse waiting here, a bag was hung next to the saddle, which was supposed to be the so-called "coiling", and on the other side hung a bow and arrows. Huang Wen turned over and got on the horse, said goodbye to Wang Xianqi, and said, "Fifth brother, wait for me to meet you at the north gate!" Wang Xianqi nodded in response. Huang Wen left the mansion and ran to the Han Tong Mansion.
When I came to the Hantong Mansion, it was quiet, only the two lanterns in front of the mansion were coldly glowing with a faint red light, and the words "Taiwei Mansion" were glowing with cold light in the quiet night. Huang Wen came to a remote place on the side, tied the horse to a tree, and then jumped into the Han Mansion with the Demon Sword.
When I entered the Han Mansion, I saw that it was quiet everywhere, and there were no more soldiers patrolling. Huang Wen thought to himself, is it because Zhao Kuangyin took the main troops of the Great Zhou out of the city, and Han Tong was also a lot more relieved. Huang Wen followed the guidance on the map and groped his way to the front of Hantong's room. Huang Wen saw that the door was closed, so he came to the side window, and with a slight push, the window actually opened. Huang Wen gently climbed through the window and went in and closed the window. Gently walked to the bed, the snoring on the bed was like thunder, it seemed that it should be Han Tong. For the sake of prudence, Huang Wen still figured out the fire fold and lit the lamp.
As soon as the light was turned on, the person on the bed actually turned over, and Huang Wen recognized it as Han Tong. Han Tong also recognized Han Tong and said, "Stinky boy, why did you come to my room in the middle of the night?" Huang Wen said: "General Han, I was ordered to see you off!" Han Tong exclaimed: "Who sent you?" Huang Wen said: "My eldest brother, Chai Rong!" Han Tong said angrily: "Nonsense! Did Zhao Kuangyin instigate you to come?" Huang Wen said: "The second brother is to keep the eldest brother's country!" Han Tong laughed and said: "Joke! The people have spread that 'the inspection is the Son of Heaven', he wants to be the Son of Heaven!" Huang Wen also laughed and said: " What I heard was 'the military envoy is the Son of Heaven', you don't sow discord!" After speaking, he pulled out his demon sword and glared at Han Tong angrily. Han Tong also pulled out the saber at the head of the bed and said, "It seems that Zhao Kuangyin's departure from the teacher is also a trick! It's just that the Empress Dowager Fu doesn't listen to my advice!" Huang Wen said: "Don't gossip, take your life!" After speaking, Huang Wen killed him.
Han Tong's martial arts were mediocre, and Huang Wen made a move to cut off Han Tong's sword. At this time, someone knocked on the door and hurriedly asked, "General, what happened?" Huang Wen stopped procrastinating, and finished off Han Tong with one sword. Immediately broke out of the window, jumped out of the Han Mansion, and rode to the north gate.
After a while, when he came to the north gate, he was greeted by Wang Xianqi. When he saw Huang Wen, Huang Wen's smug expression, Wang Xianqi already knew the result. Huang Wendao: "Fifth brother, Han Tong has died. Wang Xianqi pointed to the front and said, "You see, five hundred soldiers and Han Hui's soldiers guarding the city have been in a stalemate. When the second brother returns to the city gate, he will lead Han Hui to the front, and it will be up to you to win the sky. Huang Wen said: "Everything is arranged by the fifth brother!" Wang Xianqi walked towards the army proudly, signaling Huang Wen to stay where he was.
Huang Wen saw that Wang Xianqi did not enter the army, but the army marched in an orderly manner and did not stir. After a while, Wang Xianqi had already reached the front of the army, and shouted: "Han Hui, open the door, General Ben is ordered to go out of the city to meet General Zhao!" Han Hui's sergeants were in a stalemate.
After a while, I suddenly saw several fireworks shooting high above the city walls, blooming dazzlingly in the dark night. Huang Wen looked up at the sky, slightly bright, and thought that it was time to come. He knew that this firework should be Zhao Kuangyin's army had arrived outside the city gate.
Hearing Han Hui's sergeant guarding the city, he shouted loudly: "General Han, Zhao Kuangyin is wearing an imperial robe and has arrived outside the city gate. Shi Shouxin and Zhao Guangyi, as well as Zhao Pu, led the army to follow behind!" Huang Wen immediately raised the sky-seizing bow, wound up the three arrows, and waited for Han Hui to leave the camp. Sure enough, the door opened with a bang, and Han Hui said loudly: "What? Zhao Kuangyin is wearing an imperial robe!" Wang Xianqi said: "Brothers, go up, open the city gate and welcome the emperor!" The soldiers rushed to the city gate. Han Hui fell, and the sergeants were in chaos. But they were all blocked at the gates of the city, but no one could break through. Seeing this, Huang Wen pulled out his demon sword, jumped over the heads of the crowd, and quickly arrived at the city gate. shouted loudly, brandished the demon sword, saw that the person fell, and the weapon was broken, and suddenly there was a scream. Huang Wen fought his way out of the city in one fell swoop and came to the city gate. Huang Wen immediately returned the sword into the sheath, and slapped his palms with all his internal strength, and the door roared twice and shook twice. Huang Wen clapped his palms again, and the city gate shook a few more times, falling a lot of wall ash, as if it was about to fall. Seeing this, Huang Wen slapped his palms again, and the city gate actually roared, flew out of the city, and the city gate opened.
As soon as the city gate hit the ground, there were cheers. Huang Wen fixed his eyes, but saw that the horse that Zhao Kuangyin was riding was in front, and he was really wearing an imperial robe, looking at himself with a smile. Zhao Kuangyin is Shi Shouxin on the left, Zhao Pu on the right, and Zhao Guangyi behind him are all applauding him.
Wang Xianqi had rushed to the gate of the city, and when he saw this scene, he was very excited, and immediately knelt down and shouted: "The minister Wang Xianqi greets the emperor! May my emperor live long live, long live!" Zhao Kuangyin said: "The fifth brother works hard, and he is even!" Wang Xianqi got up. Seeing that Huang Wen was still standing there, he hurriedly said: "Tenth brother, hurry up and meet the emperor!" Huang Wen said: "How did the second brother become the emperor?" Zhao Pu stepped forward and said: "The emperor obeys the will of heaven and the righteousness of the people, and he is in the imperial robe of Chenqiaoyi, and he has been named King Zheng Zongxun, and he will enjoy glory and wealth forever!" Huang Wen didn't know what to say, so he still stood there.
Zhao Pu took out a roll of paper, handed it to Huang Wen, and said, "General Huang, the emperor named you the Zhennan general of the Great Song Dynasty, and on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, go to Jiangnan to cultivate eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty!" Huang Wen took it, and he didn't understand what was going on. Zhao Guangyi got off the horse and said, "Tenth brother, Huang Wenfeng is the general of the Great Song Dynasty and has formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, why don't you thank the emperor?" Huang Wen muttered to himself: "When did the Great Song Dynasty become the Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Pu said: "The emperor used the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the country name, which shows his gratitude for the emperor." Huang Wen's mind was still confused.
Wang Xianqi approached Huang Wen and said, "Tenth brother, when the time comes, Zhuxian Town is on the bank of the Jialu River!" Huang Wen suddenly thought of Lin Xiuzhen and said, "Second brother, I am going to Zhuxian Town now!" At this time, Wang Xianqi patted the rolling paper in his hand and said, "This is what Miss Lin wants, keep it, go quickly!" Huang Wen put the rolling paper into his arms, jumped over the sergeant's head, landed on his saddle, turned around and ran to the south of the city.
Huang Wen ran wildly all the way, thinking all the way, but he never figured it out: Why did the second brother become the emperor and the country name was "Song"? When I arrived at Zhuxian Town, it was already dawn. Huang Wen followed a large road and came to the river. Huang Wen thought about it, this should be the Jialu River. walked up the river, but Lin Xiuzhen was nowhere to be seen. Huang Wen wondered: Didn't you say that it was a good time? Why haven't you seen anyone yet? Huang Wen has been wandering by the river, seeing people coming and going, all kinds of busy people, but he has never been able to find Lin Xiuzhen.
Huang Wen took out the scroll in his arms and wanted to open it to see it, but after thinking about it, he still put it away. Suddenly, he realized that there was no sky-grabbing bow and arrow in the saddle. He thought about it carefully, and couldn't remember when the sky-seizing bow and arrow were gone? After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it shouldn't have been dropped on the way, and he should have felt it? Could it be that someone took it down when he went to open the city gate? Thinking of this, Huang Wen's vest was a little cold! Now that it was past noon, and Lin Xiuzhen was still missing, he couldn't help but think: Could it be that the second brother deliberately arranged to lure me away? And secretly took away my sky-seizing bow and arrow! Where is Xiuzhen? Huang Wen was confused, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all.
Hungry, Huang Wen sat down at a wine shop on the east side of the river, and his horse was tied under a tree at the entrance of the wine shop. Sitting there, he could see far away on the banks of the Jalu River. Huang Wen ate something slowly, and the people who had been waiting for him did not come.
It was dusk, and Huang Wen couldn't sit still anymore. took out the coil on the saddle, and sure enough, there were three or five hundred taels of silver. Huang Wen gave the shopkeeper money, then got on the horse and galloped along the river. I ran back and forth twice, but I didn't see anyone. He suddenly saw a beggar in the corner of the wall, huddled in a ball there, so he immediately dismounted, ran over, and asked, "Are you a disciple of the Beggar Gang?" The beggar opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Huang Wen, and said, "Yes, why don't you give some money for food?" Huang Wen took out a few copper coins and gave him a few copper coins, and said, "Tell me quickly, where is the meeting place of your beggar gang in Zhuxian Town?" The beggar looked around, looked at Huang Wen carefully, and said, "Why are you asking!" Huang Wen was in a hurry, and directly threw a silver ingot into his bowl, and said, "Tell me quickly, where?" The beggar looked at it, his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time. Huang Wen urged several times, and the beggar said: "The West Jiangzhai in the west is!" Huang Wen listened, immediately got on his horse and galloped to the west.
After running for a while, the sky was completely dark, but the moonlight was vague, and with the help of the moonlight, Huang Wen still ran westward. Suddenly, passing by a private house, I saw an old woman sitting in front of the house, so I reined in my horse and asked, "Old man, I rushed to Xijiang Village, but I got lost and didn't know where to go?" The old woman said: "This is Xijiang Village, who are you looking for?" Huang Wen exclaimed: "Isn't Xijiang Village a village?" The old woman said: "Xijiang Village is a village, this is it." Huang Wen continued to ask, "Then do you know where the rudder of the beggar gang is here?" The old woman giggled and said, "There are a lot of beggars, and I don't know what the beggar gang is!" Huang Wen was stunned, so he had to go further.
