Chapter 4 The Storm of Rushing Soldiers

Song Zhenhai and Xu Wenjun named their daughter Song Taixi, which means the dawn of hope for peace in the world, and also implies the meaning of letting their daughter assist Song Taiping for the rest of her life, after all, Song Taiping and her daughter Song Taixi are not related by blood, and the husband and wife are very optimistic about Song Taiping's prospects.

The white tiger who followed Song Zhenhai's family to Kaiping City, on the first day of entering the Pingxi General's Mansion, the millet soybean dried rice and wild vegetables served by the two maids made the white tiger extremely depressed, secretly thinking about this hateful Xia He and Qiu Ju, don't you know that the tiger wants to eat meat? Are you feeding rabbits? Lao Tzu went to find food by himself! As a result, the birds of prey and beasts raised by the princes and nobles were eaten by the white tigers in one day. The princes and marquis who returned from the reception banquet initiated by the prince of the prison country, heard that their pets were eaten by the white tiger of General Song Zhenhai, and they came to the door to ask for the law, for a while, the door of the Pingxi General's Mansion was like a city, it was late at night, and it was still brightly lit, and the princes and marquis who came to discuss the law continued to come, and even the pets of the prince Tuob Yuanqi and the third prince Tuob Yuanzhan were not spared, and finally these two princes rescued the anxious Song Zhenhai, sent away these magnates, and took the losses of these magnates on themselves, Sell Song Zhenhai a big face.

Afterwards, Song Zhenhai hurriedly thanked the two princes, and personally went to the mansion of the eldest brother Song Zhenkong and the third brother Song Zhendi overnight, seeking help to solve the ration problem of the white tiger. And don't dare to let the white tiger go out of the city to hunt for food, in case the farmer's cattle are eaten clean again, it will really provoke the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and finally empty Zhenkong borrowed some silver from Princess Tuobu Xiu'e, barely let the white tiger wrap his belly, Song Zhenhai was worried that the white tiger who could not eat enough would go out to cause trouble again, so he asked his son Song Taiping to keep an eye on it and not allow the white tiger to go out without permission.

Song Taiping took a bite of the big white, which made the white tiger feel a great shame, waving two front paws to protest strongly, asking for a decent and domineering name, Song Zhenhai and Xu Wenjun racked their brains to come up with more than a hundred names, but they were all vetoed by the white tiger shaking his head, Song Taiping saw the embarrassment of his parents, touched the white tiger's hairy head, and said immaturely: "Name you Kun Xianghu, the surname Kun indicates that you are the descendant of Kunwu ancestor, the wind follows the tiger, call you Xianghu, it also means flying tiger, do not shake your head, Otherwise, I'll continue to call you Dabai! ”

The white tiger succumbed helplessly, one thing fell to one thing, although Song Zhenhai and Xu Wenjun had no way to take the white tiger, but Song Taiping was the nemesis of the white tiger, the white tiger was obedient to Song Taiping, and he had no temper at all, only Song Taiping could ride on the back of the white tiger, and if others dared to ride it, the white tiger would fight with him.

A penny is difficult for the hero, for the rations of Kun Xianghu, Song Zhenhai has borrowed silver money from Princess Tuob Xiu'e several times, and in the torment of the year, he finally suffered until the end of the year, and it was time to make a fortune. Walking in the fifteen mansions of the Dayan Empire in Song Town, confiscating the confiscated property of profiteers and corrupt officials, it was enough to top the thirty years of taxes of the Dayan Empire, so that the officials, princes, and marquis could be paid on time.

Song Zhenhai arranged for the housekeeper Qian Yong to take his own order card to the Internal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Household to receive his own Yulu, and Tu Shichang, the secretary of the six grades of the small official who served as the secretary of the six products issued by Yulu, saw the Song Zhenhai Pingxi General Pingxi Order Talisman handed by Qian Yong, and quietly shouted to the officials inside: "Pingxi General Song Houye's Yulu has five hundred taels of silver, two stones each of millet and soybeans, tall, three fat sheep, and a female sheep!" ”

Then Tu Shichang whispered to Qian Yong with a flattering face: "Steward Qian, when I returned to the house, the acting official Tu Shichang greeted General Song, and I heard that General Song was happy to have a daughter, these days are busy with official business, and he failed to come to the mansion to congratulate him, a congratulatory gift is not a tribute, please bring it back to Steward Qian, and say a few beautiful words." ”

Tu Shichang took out the roster and gift list from the sleeve of his robe, picked up the food box basket next to his feet and handed it over, and when his right hand hidden in the sleeve of the robe put on Qian Yong's hand, he quickly handed over two silver ingots of five taels.

Qian Yong has been sophisticated for a long time, and knows that this clerk is a fat poor, and when collecting and storing and allocating materials, he will fill his own pockets from the deduction, the world is as black as a crow, and Song Zhendi can only be slightly restrained, not to let them do too much, with Song Zhenhai's two stones of grain, the sharp and peaceful fighting, the difference is one-third, the sheep is also very knowledgeable, sheep can shear sheep, the meat is more delicate than goats, so it is twice the price of goats, and the ewes can give birth to lambs, the price is doubled, if they are not treated by the clerk, the same three sheep, he will give three dead goats, from the details of the Yu Lu reported by the clerk Tu Shichang, it can be seen that he has taken care of it very much, presumably thanks to the blessing of Lord Song Zhendi, this Tu Shichang wants to get the promotion of Song Zhendi by tying up Song Zhenhai.

Qian Yong took into account General Song Zhenhai's incorruptible style, and quietly blocked the ten taels of silver in the sleeve of his robe, just took the roster, close to Tu Shichang's ear, and whispered: "Old slave, thank you Lord Tu for your care, just accept the adult's congratulatory gift like this, there will be villains in the court to play a copy of the general and the adult, which will only increase the incident, the adult's roster, the old slave will accept it, transfer it to the general, and truthfully report the adult's care." ”

The clerk Tu Shichang smiled, but the mung bean small eyes vigilantly glanced at the housekeepers who were collecting the money for the master, and said loudly: "Then there is a money housekeeper, I thought that the money housekeeper has not yet eaten, and I will serve some side dishes to wrap my stomach, since the money housekeeper has already eaten, then we will have a drink in Juxian Building another day." ”

Qian Yong saw through the gap in the blue of the food box that it was at least three hundred taels of gold ingots, and he was vigilant, this Tu Shichang was not an ordinary daring act, judging from the three hundred taels of gold that he planned to honor Song Zhenhai, the benefits he made in this clerk's position would never be less than one thousand taels of gold, and according to the news from the Heavenly Pavilion, although this Tu Shichang was a member of the clan, he had dealings with the Jintang in private, and it was very likely that he had been coerced by the Jintang and became an undercover agent of the Jintang, and having a relationship with him would lead to the punishment of the nine clans.

Qian Yong and Tu Shichang were polite and unnutritious, then said goodbye, beckoned Dayong and Erzhuang to lead three ewes, and loaded a cart full of grain, Qian Yong carefully received five hundred taels of silver into the money bag, personally held it in his hand, took Dayong and Erzhuang back to the Pingxi General's Mansion, and truthfully reported Tu Shichang's situation and his own speculation to Song Zhenhai.

Song Zhenhai knew that if the water was clear, there would be no fish, and instructed Qian Yong to be careful about dealing with this kind of suspected undercover official, after all, his military supplies must pass through the hands of this Tu Shichang, in case he does not die by fighting the snake, he will be bitten back, he makes some small moves, and the soldiers in the border areas will be short of food and clothing, and the ordnance and baggage materials will be postponed indefinitely. Song Zhenhai heard a gust of wind behind him, and knew that it was Kun Xianghu who was coming, planning to eat the sheep that had just been brought back, so he hurriedly flashed his body in front of the three female sheep and held the claws stretched out by Kun Xianghu.

Song Zhenhai put down the two tiger claws that he was holding, and patiently explained: "Brother Kunxiang Tiger, I will buy your rations in a while, these three ewes, wool can be used as warm clothing, and these ewes are pregnant, and they can give birth to lambs in a few months, you don't want Song Taiping, the little guy, to wear single clothes and freeze in the winter." Kun Xianghu stopped speechlessly, turned back step by step, drooled and walked back along the corridor to the garden, and met Song Taiping who was trotting after him.

As soon as Song Zhenhai leveled this Kunxiang Tiger, a charming voice came from outside the door: "General Song, don't come to harm?" Can you give the little girl a thin noodle and accompany the little girl out of town for a few drinks? ”

Song Zhenhai turned around to look, only to see a carriage parked outside the gate of the house, the curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing the bewitching appearance of Yaoyao, the master of the Red Mansion of Pinjintang, and it was Hu Xiaotian, the master of the Xiangmamen Hall of Pinjintang, who was sitting firmly in the position of the coachman, and Wu Tiansuan, the master of the Tiansuanmen Hall who was disguised as a fortune teller, and Hong Jiuyang, the master of the Beggar's Door Hall, who was dressed as a beggar, and the judge of Wu Tiansuan's double pen was against the throat of Dayong and Erzhuang, and Hong Jiuyang's iron rod was against the heart of Qian Yong, and a group of big men in different costumes poured into the Pingxi General's Mansion with swords in hand. It surrounds Song Zhenhai in a semicircle.

Song Zhenhai calmly glanced at these powerhouses of the Pinjin Hall in front of him, and four of the six hall masters of the Pinjin Hall who had been heavily rewarded by the Dayan Empire appeared in front of him, I really don't know how the third prince Tuob Yuanzhan was the squire of the military department, and let the head of the Pinjin Hall enter Kaiping City so swaggeringly, and also surrounded the Pingxi General's Mansion in broad daylight, it was really a big joke.

Song Zhenhai didn't care about the sharp blades around him, turned sideways in a chic manner, raised his hand, and said: "I don't know that the four hall masters of the Pinjin Hall came to the cold house, and they couldn't welcome them from afar, it's really rude, the four hall masters, please!" Qian Yong, Dayong, and Erzhuang, what are you doing in a daze, go in to clean the living room and greet your guests! ”

Song Taiping noticed the abnormality, and returned with Kun Xianghu, listening to what his father said, he knew that the four first-class martial arts masters of the Pinjintang had all arrived, plus the disciples of the Pinjintang who gathered around and the disciples who blocked the alley where the Pingxi General's Mansion was located, if it was a hard battle, even if it was killed, it would have to pay a heavy price, and it was not appropriate to have a head-on battle with the Pinjintang at this moment, but only to resolve this tense atmosphere, and the father would persuade them to retreat.

Song Taiping had an idea, thought about it, and opened his voice and shouted: "Mom, there is an aunt who is seducing my father!" ”

Hearing Song Taiping's voice, Xu Wenjun naturally knew that something was wrong, and immediately took out the signal fireworks canister used by the Song brothers to rescue each other, came to the martial arts field, and lit the fuse with a fire fold, with a soft sound, a dazzling red firework bomb rose into the air, making a thunderous sound.

Song Zhenkong and Song Zhendi heard the thunder that resounded throughout Kaiping City, and immediately put down their busy official duties and asked what the officials outside had seen? After learning that it was a red firework, he knew that there was an accident on Song Zhenhai's side, and the three brothers had different colors of signal fireworks, and they could identify whose side sent the signal for help through the color of the fireworks.

Song Zhenkong and Song Zhendi saw that it was a signal from Song Zhenhai's side, and their expressions became solemn, among the three brothers, Song Zhenhai's cultivation was the highest, and Xu Wenjun and Kun Xianghu were both first-class martial arts masters, and they couldn't resist, that could only show that the enemy was very strong, and immediately sent people to ask for help from the prince of the prison country and the third prince, and at the same time, the two brothers put on their battle armor, brought crossbows, and galloped towards the Pingxi General's Mansion together.

When the powerhouses of the Pinjin Hall saw the red fireworks rising into the air and making a loud noise, they knew that their whereabouts were exposed, and they were a little panicked, Yaoyao said charmingly: "General Song, we invite you in this way, and we have no choice but to do it, we are all Yan people, how can we let the barbarians of the Xianyu clan sit on the rivers and mountains of our Eastern Continent and drive our Yan people to be slaughtered as cattle and horses?" Why don't you join us in overthrowing the Great Yan Empire and rebuilding the Great Qin Empire! ”

Song Zhenhai half-turned to face the four hall masters of the Pinjin Hall, calmly pointed to the sky, and said: "The four hall masters of the Pinjin Hall, if you can elect a figure like Qin Zhenghuang, the founding emperor of the Great Qin Empire, you don't need to look for me at all, you can take over the world and lose the Great Qin River, not because of the iron cavalry of the Xianyu clan, but because the last emperor of our Yan clan lost the hearts of the people, the people's hearts are like water, and the water can float and overturn the boat!" When today's pattern suddenly changes, it is a precursor to great chaos, the great war that will sweep the entire world may appear in thirty years, it is not wise to expose the strength too early now, the four hall masters are still the people of the Eastern Continent, maybe in the near future, all the warriors of the Eastern Continent need to deal with the invaders together! ”

Wu Tiansuan put away the judge's pen and said movingly: "General Song's prophecy was told by Mrs. Song, right?" The master of this hall vaguely calculated that there would be a catastrophe in the Eastern Continent in the future, originally thought that it was caused by the barbarians of the Xianyu clan, and we took the risk to ask General Song to lead the troops, and led my army to overthrow the Dayan Empire and rescue the people of Limin. ”

Tu Shichang, who was wearing a cloak, flashed his eyes, lifted the food box basket in, opened the lid, and revealed a row of officially made gold ingots, roughly estimated to be about four hundred taels, according to the ratio of one to fifty with silver, equivalent to twenty thousand taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth. Tu Shichang closed the lid and quickly evacuated with the disciples of the Pinjin Hall.

Hong Jiuyang put away the iron rod and Wu Tiansuan jumped into the carriage, and Hu Xiaotian drove the carriage to the nearby North City Gate, and it didn't take long for the alley outside the Pingxi General's Mansion to make a sound of weapons colliding and screaming and falling to the ground, Qian Yong hurriedly closed the door of the mansion, let Dayong and Er Zhuang hold the gate, and trotted into the room to take out a heavy sword more than one meter long, holding the sword in both hands and staring vigilantly at the wall around the gate, preventing someone from rushing over the wall in a panic.

Song Zhenhai saw Qian Yong, Da Yong and Er Zhuang's clothes soaked with cold sweat, and their trembling legs, knowing that they were still in shock, and they should know some of the laws of the Dayan Empire, and those who fornicated with thieves exterminated the nine clans, just now he chatted with the hall master of the Jinjin Hall for a few bodies, in the eyes of those who care, it is already ironclad evidence of the thief, according to the law, those who want to destroy the nine clans, their servants will also be implicated, even if Qian Yong is a mortal-level cultivator, he can't stand the bow and arrow salvo of the defenders.

Song Zhenhai was afraid that the three of them would not be able to withstand the fright and go crazy, so he said calmly: "Qian Yong, Da Yong, and Er Zhuang, don't be so nervous, the Jintang has not planned to put me to death, this meeting will naturally not be publicized, even if a disciple of the Jintang is captured alive, it will not be revealed that I have a conversation with their hall master at the scene, and the captured disciples of the Jinjin Hall will be on the way to the prison or torture room, there will be their undercover agents, and they will secretly kill the captured disciples without leaving a trace, as long as the three of you are tight-lipped and forget about it, It's going to be fine! Remember, we kept the people of the Golden Hall away, but fortunately Master Wang arrived in time to disperse the thieves! ”

Qian Yong, Da Yong, and Er Zhuang nodded heavily, straightened their waists, wiped off the cold sweat on their faces, their tense faces relaxed a little, and the battle outside was over, I have to say that the disciples of Pinjintang fought extremely hard, and three disciples were stabbed to death by spears, but they killed more than 50 people of the city defense army of the Dayan Empire, and they were shot by arrows in the arms and thighs, and the two disciples who could not commit suicide, as Song Zhenhai expected, were also hidden in the undercover of the city defense army to relieve the head knife and quietly stabbed into the hearts of the seriously injured captured disciples, ending their lives.

Tuobu Yuanqi, the crown prince of the prison country, pointed at the nose of the third prince Tuobu Yuanzhan and scolded: "Third brother, this is the appointed governor of Kaiping City, the whole pig, no, not even a pig, actually let the thieves of Pinjintang gather so many people to attack the Pingxi General's Mansion, this time it is to attack the General's Mansion, will it attack the father's bedroom next time?" Taking your and my heads, for Yaoyao, Hong Jiuyang, Hu Xiaotian, Wu Tiansuan, these bandit leaders is as simple as digging into the bag, and the guards around you and me can't stop it at all, you are taking your life to please your little concubine! ”

The third prince Tuob Yuanzhan held back the fire in his belly, but Tuobu Yuanqi's words were stuck in his soft underbelly, and he couldn't refute it at all, so he could only watch Tuobu Yuanqi use his own prestige to brush his reputation, and put his brother-in-law, the idiot Governor of Kaiping Mansion from his post and imprisoned him in the prison, transferred Shi Chang'an from Anxi Mansion to Kaiping Mansion as the governor, and transferred the Dayan Zhan Hall, which was close to Tuobu Yuanzhan, to the inner city of the palace, replacing the original control of the forbidden army by the generals of the Three Princes' faction, and forcibly seized the opportunity to seize control of Kaiping Mansion.

The third prince Tuob Yuanzhan naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and he was angry and recuperated in bed for more than ten days, and every day he was on the bed with his staff and the ministers of civil and military affairs loyal to him to study how to recover the lost face this time and regain the military control of Kaiping Mansion. The hall master of the Dayan War Hall personally controlled the Dayan War Hall, and by the way, he asked the Jintang to assassinate Shi Changan on the road.
