Chapter 8: The Town of Linghe

Zhao Zhen chose a good scimitar to take with him, this thing is not used by the Han people at all, when Zhao Zhen was in the Jin Kingdom, he learned some fur from the guards of the small fan, although it can not be said to be proficient, but it can also dance like a look, Yang Zhi took a big gun with him, Yang's family, although there are also knives and hammers, but the most popular, is the Yang family gun, Yang Zhi is a descendant of the Yang family, natural marksmanship is proficient, but the Han people use guns, the poles are made of elastic wood, soaked in oil, go to its restless fire, increase toughness, Jin Bing's gun is hardwood, the gun body is strong and heavy, much shorter than the Han guns, fortunately, Yang Zhi used an iron gun when he was in the army, and it was also heavy, so it can still be used, and Zhao Zhen, the short knife of Yan Xiyin, tried it, and it was sharp, so he gave Zhao Fujin a talisman to use.

The three people left the Guandi Temple all the way to the south, bypassed the road to the direction of Weicheng County under the rule of Huazhou, went straight to the direction of Changyuan County on Gyeonggi Road, galloped all night, and arrived at Linghe Town at dawn, which is the first town in Xiangbaima, and it is also a prosperous place, but after the Jin Bing, such as a comb like a grate, the whole town was destroyed beyond measure, ten rooms and nine empty, into the eyes of Chuangyi, exactly: the original painting building lying on the fox, the roadside dumped corpse wild dog ambush, three horseback into the town, see this scene, can't help but be sad and inexplicable, there is no reply.

Yang Zhi looked around and said, "Brother Xian, it's really unlivable here, let's change the place to fight." "Originally, according to Yang Zhi, I wanted to go all the way to Changyuan County, they were all wearing the clothes of the golden soldiers, along the way, although they met a few golden soldiers' rangers, but they didn't encounter any trouble, and the ordinary people didn't dare to approach them, saving a lot of things, but Yu Lu They also noticed that those strong men, seeing them, had Sensen's hatred in their eyes, as if they wanted to rip off the meat from their bodies to swallow it alive, but the three of them were fast, and those men couldn't catch up, so they didn't attack them.

Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi both know that although the Great Song Dynasty is heavy on suppressing martial arts, but because the folk hype spread the story of Emperor Taizu Wude, there are quite a number of people who practice martial arts.

Zhao Zhen took a few steps forward with his horse, and then pointed with his hand: "Look, that half of the town can still live in people." ”

Yang Zhi and Zhao Fujin both looked in the direction of Zhao Zhen's finger, and saw that it was about two or three miles away from the entrance of the town, and the lights were bright, although they couldn't hear the sound, they could still feel the liveliness there, Yang Zhi looked at it and said, "Why hasn't it been harmed by the Jin soldiers?" ”

Zhao Zhen sneered and said, "Needless to say, it must be a place where the Jin people are lackeys, but we will go over and enjoy the high treatment of the Jin people!" After speaking, he shook the reins of the horse vigorously and walked towards the opposite side, Yang Zhi hung behind, protected Zhao Fujin in the middle, and followed Zhao Zhen closely.

Three horses in the blink of an eye to the light, here was originally the center of the town, which will be guarded by a group of local soldiers, set up a fence, alone to form a space, the Song people are far away, dare not approach, in and out of the Jin soldiers, those Jin people divided the troops to the south, there are always 100,000 elite soldiers, although they began to retreat, but it is impossible to withdraw at once, this is the Jin general Du Keshi's department, ordered to collect grain and grass on the road, in the rear army, so it has not been withdrawn.

As soon as Zhao Zhen and the three approached, a Han man wearing a foreign uniform came over, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said, "The villain has seen the military master." Obviously, he was quite interested in the rank of the Jin army, and he could see at a glance that Zhao Zhen was just an ordinary soldier, so although he said it respectfully, the etiquette was ordinary.

Zhao Zhen whipped a sound in the air with a horse whip and said, "There are nobles behind, don't get out of the way!" While speaking, Yang Zhi escorted Zhao Fujin over, and when the Song people saw the raccoon dog Qiu that Zhao Fujin was wearing, their faces couldn't help but change, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "The villain Linghe Town Governor Shen Qing has seen a nobleman." ”

Zhao Fujin is not a Jurchen, but he can't speak Jurchen words, so he looked at Zhao Zhen with his eyes, and Zhao Zhen said loudly: "How can my nobles talk to you too much, and don't arrange food and accommodation!" My nobleman is tired of walking and wants to rest here. ”

Shen Qing didn't dare to delay and agreed, and personally led the three horses in front of him, leading them to a restaurant first, and said, "This is the best restaurant in my town; Flying Bird Tower! Refuse to say that the Nine Emperors of Zhao Song Dynasty gambled with people to shoot hunting in the north, killed a swan with their own hands, and cooked it here with their own hands, so it was named 'Feihu Tower'

When Zhao Zhen heard Shen Qing's words, he couldn't help but look up at the restaurant, but it was just a two-story building, which was built to lean on Song customs, separated from the top and bottom, and looked quite delicate, so he got off the horse and said: "Let's eat and drink here first, but don't forget to arrange accommodation for us, and then feed our livestock." ”

Shen Qing bowed and responded, turned his head and glared at those Han miscellaneous servants, and saw Zhao Fujin walking towards the restaurant, hurriedly came over, squeezed Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi away, and said flatteringly: "The noble man went upstairs with the villain, and it was quiet there." ”

Although Zhao Fujin is not a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, but he is a real nobleman of the Great Song Dynasty, he has a bit of bearing on his body, he just walks inside, ignoring Shen Qing, Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi also followed, the three of them walked to the second floor, walked through the lobby, and saw that the people eating wine inside were all Jin Bing, those people saw that Zhao Fujin was noble, but they didn't dare to come over to talk, but they were friendly to Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi with a wine bowl to show goodwill, Zhao Zhen was peaceful, and he responded with a little head, but Yang Zhi had a straight face and didn't answer. One is that he can't look at these Jin people, and the other is that he can't speak the Jurchen words, you know, although most of the resentful soldiers in the Jin soldiers are Han Chinese, they will also speak the Jurchen words, if the answer is not right, then it will cause trouble.

Shen Qing led the three of them up to the second floor, there are private rooms separated from each other, and there are also scattered sits leaning on the railing, but it is to let everyone sit here and watch the show, but where is there any performance in the atrium of the restaurant, I can only see Jin Bing who has drunk too much, laughing wildly there.

Shen Qing saw Zhao Fujin's brows furrowed slightly, and hurriedly said, "Practice people but go to the private room to sit." Yang Zhi shook his head slightly at Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen thought of the information given by the system, Yang Zhi's caution when escorting the birth gang, knowing that he was experienced, so he said to Zhao Fujin in Jurchen words: "Noble, let's be outside." When he spoke, he lost a look at the scattered sitting, Zhao Fujin was also smart, so he looked in the lobby, and walked towards the position where there were not too many people in the corner, when Shen Qing wanted to persuade, Yang Zhi straightened his tongue and learned Jin Bing to speak Chinese and shouted: "My nobles love to sit there, you don't talk nonsense here, go and arrange wine and food." ”

Shen Qing was startled, and he didn't dare to say more, so he went back to arrange for wine and food.

Zhao Zhen and the three of them walked forward, and when they approached a table, a burst of laughter came, and the system reminded: "Yan Qing is here." ”

When Zhao Zhen turned his head sharply, he saw two golden petty officials sitting opposite each other at the adjacent table, drinking there with a wine bowl, and a junior standing in front of the table:

Straight birth: six feet tall, twenty-three or four years old, a pair of clear and delicate eyes, very thin waist and broad shoulders. Wearing a papaya heart top turban, wearing a white shirt with a silver silk yarn collar, a spider spot red line to press the waist, and a pair of earthy yellow leather oil shoulder boots. A pair of gold rings on the back of the head, a Xiangluo handkerchief on the top, a celebrity fan obliquely inserted around the waist, and a hairpin with four seasons flowers on the sideburns. This will take out a thing in the sleeve, but in the palm of the hand is a roll of paper, put it in the mouth and only blow it is a colorful snake, it looks lifelike, a golden soldier petty officer saw it, couldn't help but be surprised, when he reached out to grab it, the person put it in the palm of his hand, but it was still a paper roll.

The two junior officers of the golden soldiers applauded at the same time, and one of them stretched out his hand to pat the latter and said with a smile: "Good trick, good thing, if you still have any ability, you can show us." He struggled to speak Chinese with his tongue, and the latter smiled slightly, and said in Jurchen dialect: "The villain naturally has good things here, as long as the two of you are happy, just look at it." As he spoke, he felt something in his heart, and when he glanced sideways slightly, he couldn't help but light up when he saw Zhao Zhen.

At this time, Zhao Zhen and Yan Qing had already recognized each other, but there were two junior officials of the Jin Army sitting on the other side, but they were not easy to speak, and Yan Qing was coaxing the two junior officials here, obviously there was something wrong, Zhao Zhen didn't greet him, only winked at Yan Qing, and then pulled Zhao Fujin and Yang Zhi to sit opposite.

Yan Qing took his eyes and came back, and said to the two junior officers of the Jin Army: "Two, but look at me here to play a white goose and lay eggs for the two of you." As he spoke, his palms lit up towards the two junior officers of the Jin Army, signaling that there was nothing in his hands, and then he flipped his hands violently, and when he turned around again, he held a white goose made of porcelain in his left hand and a small fire fold in his right hand.

The two junior officials of the Jin Army were amazed, and they all came to Yan Qing's cuffs to touch them, but after touching them for a long time, there was still nothing, and they couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Yan Qing smiled and shook the fire fold in his hand, a yellow flame was born, Yan Qing shook the porcelain goose's mouth, and then put the white goose down, the white goose spit out a faint white smoke in his mouth, Yan Qing put his hands together, the smoke rolled between his palms, but it did not disperse, the porcelain goose spit out smoke while making a quacking sound, and a small white egg with round bones in the middle of winter really protruded from the back of the belly, and the eyes of the two Jin Army officers bulged out, so they stood up and came to the side of the porcelain goose to see the egg, Yan Qing put the white goose with his head facing the two Jin Army petty officers and his tail facing himself, the two Xiao Jun couldn't see clearly, so they stretched out their necks and looked forward with their mouths open, Yan Qing suddenly let go, and the white smoke that he held up rushed out, and they were all sucked in by the two Jin Army petty officers.

The eyes of the two junior officers of the Jin Army kept their eyes and fell forward, Yan Qing stretched out his hand to support it, and said with a smile: "The two military masters are drunk, sit first, sit first." He pushed the two petty officers to sit there with his hands, and then quickly put away the porcelain goose, and when he touched the two petty officers with his palms, he took out a few clip bags, put them in his sleeves, turned around and smiled at Zhao Zhen, and went by himself.

Yang Zhi said vigilantly: "Brother Xian, that person seems to recognize you, but is there an obstacle?" ”

Zhao Zhen said softly: "It's okay, he's my friend, let's go down and see him later." Yang Zhi stopped talking.

After a while, the food was delivered, it was still early in the morning, and the restaurant should buy some fine snacks, but in order to meet the taste of the alloy soldiers, they were all large pieces of mutton, with

The sauce is fishy, Zhao Zhen has eaten it in Hanzhou for several years, and it is acceptable, Yang Zhi is a rough billet, eating is the same as fighting, what does it taste like, but where can Zhao Fujin eat such rough food, he frowned when he smelled it, Zhao Zhen saw it in his eyes, and said to Shen Qing: "My nobles want to taste the details of your Song people, you can arrange some." ”

Shen Qing's eyes rolled, and he agreed, went out for a while, and came back with two plates, Zhao Zhen took a look, although it was much worse than the one in the palace, but it could still be entered, so he took it, sent Shen Qing out, and then brought it to Zhao Fujin and said: "Sister eat a little bit, otherwise the body can't bear it." ”

Zhao Fujin also knew, so he forced himself to eat.

Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi were so hungry that they ate a lot, and they didn't dare to drink for fear of making a mistake, so they were stuffed with seventy percent of their hearts, and they were about to get up when they heard the people downstairs roaring and roaring, and it was a mess, and a golden general shouted at the top of his throat: "After killing the thief of Prime Minister Yan, don't let the master roll down!" ”

Zhao Zhen and Yang Zhi's faces changed at the same time, and at the same time grabbed the handle of the knife, glanced at each other, Yang Zhi hurriedly entered a window-facing private room opposite, before he entered, there were two muffled snorts in the room, Zhao Zhen saw that everyone was looking towards this side, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Fujin into the private room, and hung down the curtain.

In the private room, there were two dead people, both dressed as merchants of the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Fujin's face turned pale with fear, Zhao Zhen kicked them away, saw Yang Zhi sticking to the window and looking down, so he came over and looked down, only to see that the restaurant had been surrounded by Jin soldiers, and the first Jin general was carrying a muddy iron point steel gun and shouting loudly in front of the formation, and what he was riding was Yang Zhi's fire block chasing the wind red, the horse was unwilling to ride him, so he kept roaring and struggling in place, his head was raised hard, but he couldn't earn it.

Yang Zhi stomped his feet and said: "It's not good, our horses have fallen into their hands, and they won't be able to walk if they want to!" ”

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and looked down, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and said coldly: "Then fight with them!" He and Yang Zhi both knew that it must have been Shen Qing who had sued them, but they didn't know where Shen Qing could see the flaw, it turned out that when Shen Qing accompanied Zhao Fujin downstairs, he smelled the fragrance on his body, and he knew that something was wrong, so he informed Jin General Du Keshi, originally he didn't say that it was the assassin who killed Yan Xiyin, but Du Keshi recognized the fire horse chasing Fengchi, and then he knew that the big thief was coming.
