Chapter 29 Broad-mindedness
Song Taiping and his entourage were marching towards Kaiping City, a team of guards dressed as a big man held a seven or eight-year-old girl, rode a horse to chase after him, and the big man holding the little girl shouted loudly from afar: "Song Taiping little boy, please stay, my young lady has something important to discuss!" ”
Song Taiping opened the curtains, looked over, the girl who was hugged by the big man was the daughter of Tuobu Yuyan, the king of Jing'an, Tuob Yuyan, and secretly sighed in his heart that the viciousness of the prince of the prison country, Tuob Yuansheng, together with his father's and mother's younger brother Tuob Yuansheng, was so ruthless, and the cruel temperament was outrageous, and the nine strong men who escorted Tuob Yuyan must have been the dead soldiers under the old Jing'an King Tuobu Yuansheng, and when the master was killed and the tree fell and scattered, he could still escort the young master at the risk of killing his head, which shows the loyalty of these nine Jianghu rangers, so that Song Taiping admired, I couldn't help but look up and down carefully, taking a closer look at the weapons and internal strength levels they carried.

Song Taiping said in a low voice at the same time: "Lord Aisen Wenhao, Master Tuob Ai Qingtang, please pause for a while, and listen to what they are looking for me?" ”
Ai Senwenhao and Tuobu Ai Qing waved their hands at the same time to order the team to stop advancing, Aisen Wenhao turned his head to look, recognized Tuob Yuyan, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Song Taiping little son, on the cusp of the current storm, the Song family is facing a great calamity that has not yet been resolved, so don't cause trouble, let her follow those dead soldiers to retreat to the mountains and forests, lest because of King Jing'an's involvement, add another crime, and increase the emperor's suspicion." ”
Song Taiping thanked Ai Senwenhao with his hand, and said calmly: "Thank you for reminding me, the kid is foolish, the emperor's fierce enemies have been eradicated, and the current court is in a turbulent era, and under the peep of the princes and kings of all parties and foreign enemies, the emperor should reorganize the dynasty, strengthen the control of military strength, and stabilize the frontier, so as to be able to sit firmly in this country that has been exchanged for blood." King Jing'an has gone, leaving only a young daughter and these nine loyal dead soldiers, it is difficult to become an atmosphere, even if the emperor does not look at the love of his uncle and nephew, he will also open the net in order to stabilize the world and win the hearts of the people, and he will not be killed, if the kid enlightens Tuob Yuyan to resolve their resentment, it may not be troublesome, and the defective capable generals can make the emperor feel at ease to control, and the master who does not leave any handle will die young like my uncle. ”
Ai Senwen Hao and Tuobu Ai Qing both shivered, they didn't expect that their bad habits of greed for money and lust on weekdays were the reason why they could live with the king for all these years, there is a way that if the water is clear, there is no fish, Ai Senwen Hao and Tuob Ai Qing looked at Song Taiping with deeper and more eager eyes, and even had the idea of adding fuel to the turmoil of the Song family, so as to logically succeed Song Taiping, who has no relatives, as a righteous son.
The nine men slowed down the speed of their mounts, slowly came to Song Taiping, who was waiting in front of the carriage, turned over and dismounted, and the man led by him supported Tuobu Yuyan, who was full of tears and dull eyes, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "The little Lu Tao has seen the little prince, the Jing'an palace has suffered a drastic change, and the county lord of Tuob Yuyan has become an orphan, I don't know if the little prince can take him in, if the little boy has any concerns, the little one will take the county lord back to the mountains and forests." ”
Song Taiping looked at Lu Tao's sincere and clear eyes, sincere and straightforward, without the slightest hint of concealment, and said frankly: "Thank you Lu Tao and the eight righteous warriors, taking the risk of being hunted down by the imperial court to save the little county lord, the little county lord is a member of my Shifan League, as one of the initiators of the Shifan League, I have the responsibility and obligation to follow the oath and assist the county lord of Tuobyu Yan, can the nine righteous men be willing to stay together?" ”
Lu Tao and the eight men behind him trembled when they heard this, and they hurriedly knelt on their knees, kowtowed to Song Taiping, looked at Song Taiping feverishly, and said respectfully: "We are willing to follow Gongzi to the death, go up the knife mountain, get off the oil pot, and never frown!" ”
Song Taiping listened to the simple and sincere oath issued by Lu Tao, the nine men of the rivers and lakes, stepped forward to help the nine people up one by one, and said calmly: "The kid welcomes the nine righteous men to defect, but now the family is in a big disaster, and the money is insufficient, so it is impossible to give you a monthly salary, and it takes nine righteous men to appear in Kaiping City as servants of the palace in a few years, I don't know if the nine righteous men are willing to condescend?" ”
Song Taiping once heard his father Song Zhenhai introduce that the rangers in the rivers and lakes have a reputation for chivalrous and righteous heroes, but also have the dark side of greed for money and murder, people in the rivers and lakes, no money is impossible to survive, some rangers only recognize money and do not recognize people, for Huang Chengcheng's gold will even treacherously kill the master, so Song Taiping deliberately made this statement to test the hearts of the nine righteous men in front of him.
Lu Tao and the eight men behind him hesitated and looked at each other, after all, they are all martial arts masters among mortals, and they enjoy the worship of five taels of gold per month in Jing'an Mansion, as well as the privilege of mobilizing soldiers and horses below the thousand-person team in Jing'an Mansion at will.
However, the shadow of the famous tree, Song Taiping's name has been instilled in their ears many times, and then look at Shangguan Yi and Xiang Shaowu standing on both sides of Song Taiping are masters among mortal-level cultivators, especially this Shangguan Yi is the second largest beauty in the Dayan Empire, and is a well-known figure in the Dayan Empire. You can guess that it may be that Prime Minister Song Zhenkong or Household Squire Song Zhendi has fallen, and he has to follow the Ming Lord in his life and make a career, and it doesn't matter if he is poor for a while, choosing the Ming Lord is a big gamble, betting on his own future, and even his life, he has made a mistake before, and Song Taiping took the initiative to solicit at this time, how can he let it go? The eyes of the nine people returned to fanaticism and persistence, and they bowed down again and solemnly swore to fully obey Song Taiping's orders.
Song Taiping smiled and nodded, praising their long-term vision in his heart, just about to step forward to appease Tuob Yuyan, the outstretched hand was close to Tuob Yuyan's shoulder, and stopped in mid-air, he suddenly remembered the hug in the cave, and he set a wife, girls should not touch it at will, he didn't want to provoke a bunch of romantic debts, so he hurriedly asked Shangguan Yi to step forward to help Tuob Yuyan get into the carriage, and appeased well, so that Lu Tao and the nine of them followed around the carriage.
On the same day, Ma Yu, the eunuch of Xuanzhi and the new governor of Chacama Grassland, who had been staying in Shaanxi and Gansu for more than a week, received a secret message from the flying pigeon of the Dayan Empire's post station with the seal of Tuobu Yuanqi, and immediately set off out of Nujiang City, passed through Qin'an Mansion and Beihai Mansion, passed through the three passes, and went to Song Zhenhai's camp tent to announce the decree.
Song Zhenhai took Tuob Yuanzheng, An Yutian, Yu Pei'an, Zhao Kuangde, Wang Qingyu five subordinates to receive the order, all the sergeants and generals in the entire military camp wore white belts on their heads, and their waists were wrapped with hemp ropes, and a murderous atmosphere was permeated, and the eunuch read out the holy decree tremblingly, An Yutian opened his eyes, stepped forward and grabbed the eunuch by the collar, lifted it directly, and shouted angrily: "Eunuch, which bastard proposed the charge of my general, the ransom materials of the Western Continent will be escorted back to Kaiping City by your Praetorian Guards, The 150,000 nomadic troops of the Western Continent who were detained were released by the three passes, and you became my generals and secretly collaborated with the enemy, and let go of the 150,000 troops.
In the border battle, the seven major factions of the Dayan Empire and all the forces of all parties sent elites to fight side by side with our generals, how many elders and elite disciples were sacrificed to fight back to the five border mansions, they were sacrificed for our Dayan Empire, but they did not see a single cent of the court's consolation and reward, or did my little son take out his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a reward to thank you, this enemy retreated, you pressed a charge on my family general who has a close relationship with the traitor Necronomion and the Jintang with the intention of rebellion, is there still justice in this? Isn't he afraid that he will be killed by lightning when he goes out?
For such a rotten imperial court to guard the three passes, Lao Tzu will not do it! Let those villains take over the official position of the governor of the three passes, let them also taste the wind and sand of the border land, and experience the life and death parting on the battlefield, so as not to be idle all day long and only know how to calculate our generals who fight for the country in the borderlands, isn't this little white face the new governor of the Chakama grassland? Even the three levels are combined. ”
Song Zhenhai hurriedly shouted to stop An Yutian's roar, stopped the other four subordinates who were about to draw their swords and cut people, and said in a deep voice: "The kindness of your brothers, I, Song Zhenhai, still take office according to the appointment of the holy decree, train the troops well, and the frontier of the Dayan Empire will be handed over to your brothers, please accept Song Zhenhai's worship." ”
When Song Zhenhai bowed to each other, Tuob Yuanzheng, An Yutian and other five generals were busy kneeling down in the face of Song Zhenhai, and Tuob Yuanzheng said anxiously: "General Song, you can't go to Kaiping City alone, that crazy Tuob Yuanqi can kill his own brothers and Prime Minister Song Zhenkong, it's hard to say that he won't attack you, if you want to go, take your brothers with you, and the three thousand elite soldiers can kill Tuobu Yuanqi's children can't escape, since this Tuob Yuanqi is not framing us with the intention of rebellion?" It's a big deal for us to really rebel against the Dayan Empire, with General Song ascending the throne as the emperor, the people of the Eastern Continent can also live a peaceful life, and our generals can also open up territory for the country with peace of mind! ”
Song Zhenhai scolded: "Nonsense, contaminating red dust is the first taboo in cultivation, I have the intention to train your successors to be able to take charge of me, stabilize the gateway of the Eastern Continent, and avoid our people from suffering from war, not for the sake of high-ranking officials Houlu and the Great Yan Empire, those are just passing by the clouds, when you don't get it, you want to get it, and when you get it, it is difficult to ride a tiger, I have made up my mind, you brothers don't need to persuade me anymore, Tuob Yuanzheng is assisting Ma Yududu, don't suffer the people of Chacama grassland." ”
Ma Yu, who had been watching calmly from the sidelines, suddenly said: "Three fathers-in-law, let's change your pants in the tent next to you, the smell is too smoky." ”
The eunuch and the two accompanying eunuchs looked at their wet pants embarrassedly, looked at Ma Yu who was evicted with such a slap in the face, and then looked at the generals under Song Zhenhai who were holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and withdrew from the tent with interest.
Ma Yu saw the three eunuchs leave the tent and knelt down directly to Song Zhenhai: "The villain Ma Yu knocked on General Song, the villain's sister was in trouble, the little prince of Song Taiping once spoke up to rescue, the villain's family will remember the kindness of the little boy forever, but it was helpless to be selected to come to the Chacama grassland this time, the villain is a disciple on the periphery of Zhitian Pavilion, and Deacon Qian Yong has ordered the villain to listen to General Song's instructions and arrangements." ”
Song Zhenhai picked up Ma Yu with both hands, and said in a low voice: "Little brother Ma Yu, Lord Xu has already informed me that there is a secret base that my Song family is building in the Chacama grassland, this is the Tuob Yuanqi brother, I will explain to you the details of the construction of the Saiwai Taoyuan planned by me and my son Song Taiping, in the future, your two brothers will also need to cooperate with each other, this little brother Ma Yu's ancestors have always been poultry and livestock breeding, and the experience in this area is stronger than that of the reckless man who can only fight, the temperature difference between day and night in the Chacama grassland is large, and it is difficult to grow a large number of crops, These poultry and livestock are the basic rations of the people, and it is necessary to ensure that the food is sufficient, there are silver mines in this grassland, and Song Taiping, the little guy, snatched back tens of thousands of taels of gold from the pirates, and he has plenty of funds for construction.
Brother An Yutian, the three passes of the Slave Rejection Pass, the Cutting Kou Pass and the Border Pass are the only gateways for the Western Continent to enter the Eastern Continent, the ten thousand feet high Anel Mountains cut off the East and West Continents to prevent the Western Continent from invading again, and the three passes must be guarded, but I want to shrink the rifles and grenadiers to guard the Saiwaiyuan, I originally sold the rifles and grenadiers to the Seven Great Sects and the King of Shaanxi and Gan, in order to balance the bargaining chips of the various forces so that all parties can be deterred by the power of these weapons, and restrain each other to prevent the escalation of internal fighting, Unexpectedly, this would become a sharp weapon to indirectly kill the eldest brother, and it may flow overseas, causing more serious consequences, our rifle team and grenadier team are commanded by the Tuobu Motomasa brothers.
Yu Pei'an brothers served as the commander-in-chief of Beihai Mansion, Zhao Kuangde brothers served as commander-in-chief of Qin'an Mansion, Wang Qingyu brothers served as commander-in-chief of Jianghai Mansion and An Yutian brothers trained the soldiers to defend the city together, the four brothers have experienced the battles of the five border provinces, and have seen the sharpness of firearms in the south and north continents and the fierceness of the iron cavalry in the west continent. ”
Song Zhenhai finished arranging all the matters he could consider, and followed the Praetorian Guards who came to escort him on the road to Kaiping City, originally to shackle Song Zhenhai and put him in the prisoner car, but the eunuchs and the generals of the Praetorian Guard did not dare to do so, and they also sympathized with Song Zhenhai's unfair treatment; Second, if Song Zhenhai's subordinates want to enter Kaiping City, the state capitals along the way will not be able to stop them, and they are destined to become the first batch of scapegoats killed by Tuobu Yuanqi; There were twenty sergeants from the Chakama steppe dressed in civilian clothes, carrying rifles and grenadiers on horseback, and if they dared to abuse Song Zhenhai, it was difficult to say whether they would see the sun tomorrow.
Tuob Yuanzheng sent twenty elite soldiers to follow the escort Praetorian Guard to secretly protect General Song Zhenhai, but he was still not at ease, so An Yutian took 8,000 soldiers to stay in the Chacama grassland to standby, Yu Pei'an, Zhao Kuangde, Wang Qingyu led 2,000 riflemen to march into Kaiping City, if Tuob Yuanqi dared to move General Song Zhenhai, immediately attack the city and rescue him, and he himself rode to Qianhu Mountain to report the news.
Song Taiping and his entourage returned to Kaiping City, before entering the Pingxi General's Mansion, Song Taiping noticed that the little beggar in strange clothes opposite the gate of the mansion was a little familiar, and stepped forward to take a closer look, only to see that the dirty silk dress on his body had been torn open a lot, his hair was messy like weeds, and it was vaguely visible that he had once tied a small braid, sitting on the ground, leaning against the wall, staring at the door of the Pingxi General's Mansion, with red and swollen eyes, a pair of shoulder-to-shoulder big ears, and a chubby head.
Song Taiping hurriedly helped Tuobu Yinsi to get up slowly, and found that he didn't know that he hadn't eaten for a few days, and he couldn't even stand, and said sadly: "Brother Tuobu Yinhei, you have arrived at the door of the mansion, why don't you go in?" ”
Tuobu Yinhei is two heads taller than Song Taiping, and when he saw Song Taiping, who was looking forward to it day and night, came back, he couldn't help but release the pressure of being frightened these days and the grievances accumulated for many days to burst out together, and wanted to lie on Song Taiping's shoulder and cry bitterly, but he had only drunk three bowls of porridge in the past six days, or Chunmei saw that he had pitifully given him his share of dinner, and Tuobu Yinhei, who had been waiting for most of the children, was already hungry and couldn't support it, and the savior Song Taiping who had been waiting appeared and fainted with peace of mind.
Song Taiping saw Tuobu Yinhei unconsciously slipping down with his eyes closed, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Tuobu Yinhei, seeing that his life breath did not have much ups and downs, but he was too hungry and fainted from hunger, so he stopped his waist and picked up Tuob Yinhei, and took Shangguan Yi, Xiang Shaowu, Kun Xianghu, Tuobu Yuyan, Lu Tao and others into the mansion.
Song Taiping handed over Tuobu Yinsi to the oncoming big cow and Erzhuang, and instructed them to give Tuobu Yinsi a simple wash, change into clean clothes, feed some millet soup, let Tuobu Yinsi lie down and rest first, through the corridor, through the arch of the garden, he saw the temporary mourning hall in the hall, the coffin neatly placed in the martial arts field, and a famous mortal-level cultivator lying quietly in it, without exception, died under the rifle bullets developed by himself, and deep self-blame came to his heart, all of which were not well thought out by himself, killed the uncle and so many heroes of the Divine Machine Gate.
Song Taiping bowed to these many corpses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, tears rained down, kneeling in front of many coffins, and Shangguanyi, Xiang Shaowu, Lu Tao and others behind him also bowed, kneeling behind Song Taiping, Xu Wenjun and Tuobu Xiu'e came out of the hall, helped Song Taiping, and let everyone behind Song Taiping get up.
Xu Wenjun hugged Song Taiping and said in a low voice: "Son, the temperature in this Kaiping City is too high, the remains of your uncle and the heroes of the Shenjimen have begun to decay, and they can't be released anymore, I discussed it with your aunt, tomorrow for your uncle and the heroes to be buried, there are not enough people in the house, maybe you need to use your apprentices and brothers to help your uncle and the heroes out of the funeral, it's not early today, you should rest early."
