Chapter 020: Change
"The mountain of contempt is inhabited by gods and men; The skin is like ice and snow, and it is like a virgin; Do not eat grains, suck wind and drink dew; Ride the clouds, fly the dragon, and swim beyond the four seas; Its spirit is condensed, so that things are not flawed and ripe. ”
The southeast foot of Luliang Mountain, Gushu Mountain, ravines vertical and horizontal, the mountain is dangerous, strange peaks and different holes, green pines and cypresses, surrounded by green mountains. In the meantime, a deep valley of several hundred meters makes the north and south immortal caves face each other majestically. The Taoist temple building in Xiandong was first built in the Tang Wude period. The South Immortal Cave is located between the cliffs on the west side, the North Immortal Cave is built on the mountainside on the east side, the pavilions and pavilions are complete, the houses and temples are equipped, it is a good place for self-cultivation.
The warm sun slanted in through the window, bringing a hint of warmth in winter. Wang Song opened his eyes and had a splitting headache. These days, he has been dreaming repeatedly, dreaming of his mother and sister, as well as Uncle Niu Wa, and ......
But no matter what, he wanted to talk to his mother, sister, and Uncle Niu Wa, but they turned a blind eye, as if he didn't exist.
He dreamed countless times, shouted left and right, and even roared, but to no avail, but he woke up.
"Big brother, you're finally awake!"
The woman next to her saw Wang Song open her eyes, and the tears in her eyes flowed down at once.
"Sister Xian, what are you crying about, didn't the eldest brother wake up!"
Seeing Zhao Ruolan sitting on the edge of the bed, Wang Song returned from meditation to reality in an instant.
"Big brother, you have been sleeping and talking in your dreams for more than a month, I'm afraid you won't wake up!"
Zhao Ruolan's eyes welled up with tears again.
"Doctor Xie said that you have been hit in many places and have lost too much blood, and I am afraid it will be difficult for you to survive. I can't believe you're finally awake!"
Zhao Ruolan suddenly lay on Wang Song's chest and began to cry loudly.
Wang Song's heart was hot, gently stroked Zhao Ruolan's hair, and said quietly: "Okay, don't cry, my eldest brother woke up last night."
"Big brother, you're finally awake!"
Liang Xing walked in from outside, holding a bowl of gruel in his hand, and there were some medicinal herbs in it.
"Ruolan, don't cry, let the eldest brother eat something first. He is now seriously ill in bed, and he needs to eat something good to make up for it. ”
Zhao Ruolan straightened up, a little embarrassed, she took Liang Xing's porridge bowl next to her, and began to feed Wang Song one bite at a time.
Although Wang Song felt a little embarrassed, there was no way. The wounds all over my body hurt hotly.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, not to mention that he almost entered the palace of Hades. Although he woke up, he was still unable to move and needed to be taken care of.
Speaking of which, Zhao Ruolan is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she is too much to see and think too much.
"Big brother, you ...... here"
Zhao Ruolan pointed at Wang Song's forehead.
With the help of Zhao Ruolan, Wang Song laboriously put his hand on his forehead, touched a raised scar on his right forehead, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the eldest brother is broken." ”
Zhao Ruolan nodded and said softly: "It must have been left when he was fighting with Fanzi in Fuzhou." These damn gold thieves!"
"Big brother looks good no matter what."
Liang Xing said on the side: "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many women who want to die for their eldest brother." ”
Wang Song smiled bitterly. I am trapped by love, and I have a relationship with many women, which is really a bit of a heart. According to the standards of later generations, a proper scumbag.
"Brother Liang, where are we now, it doesn't seem that this is Taiyuan Mansion, nor is it Bianjing City?"
After drinking the porridge, his spirit was obviously better, and a burst of heat surged up all over his body.
Liang Xing nodded and said: "Big brother, we are now in Fenxi County, Pingyang Prefecture, Hedong, here is Gushu Mountain, the place is secluded, suitable for recuperation, there are brothers from the Zhongyi Society on the mountain, and it is generally difficult for outsiders to come in." ”
Zhao Ruolan said with a smile: "Big brother doesn't know, now people outside know that big brother died on the battlefield, even the loyal soldiers of Taiyuan City don't know whether you are dead or alive."
Zhao Ruolan told the situation at that time. Wang Song nodded and said with a wry smile: "You are thoughtful, but in this court, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the eldest brother to go back."
"Big brother, what are you going back to do?"
Zhao Ruolan glared at Wang Song dissatisfiedly, and said in a low voice: "In the heart of the eldest brother, isn't he still thinking about that princess?" Maybe they've forgotten about you!"
Wang Song was confused for a while, and Zhao Duofu's figure appeared in front of him again.
He suddenly remembered that before Yangjiagou in Fuzhou was about to die, no one in his heart thought about it, and he was still thinking about his mother and sister, not Zhiyuexiu, and Zhao Duofu.
The prosperity is gone, and the ground is full of depression; In the depths of the red dust, helplessness and struggle coexist; How can the fragrance of birds and flowers be worth the coarse tea and light rice, and the vigorous will always return to the bland. Could it be that deep down in his heart, he has never loved these women?
The short knife sent by Zhao Huan also fell on the battlefield, and the soft armor sent by Zhao Duofu ......
"Sister, the girl who died in the battle of Yangjiagou, how did she arrange it in the end?"
Wang Song couldn't help but shake his head, why did he ask such a question.
"Ma Xuanzan asked the people of the folded family to take it back."
Zhao Ruolan replied faintly: "The treasure armor on your body has not been taken back. At that time, everyone was worried about your injuries and didn't pay attention to these things. ”
Wang Song nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "The sister of the Zhe family died to save me, so let this soft armor accompany her."
Zhao Ruolan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Big brother, you gave her the treasure armor, and you must have buried it with her." If you return to Tokyo City, how will you go to see the princess, will you say that you have lost your armor? ”
"Tokyo City?"
Wang Song shook his head slightly, and said coldly: "The prosperity of Tokyo City, the eldest brother can't go back, and he doesn't want to go back."
"Xianggong, that's the right way to think about it!"
Ma Kuo and Yang Zaixing walked in, their faces quite excited.
As long as Wang Song is safe and sound, this anti-gold banner can be erected at any time.
Ma Kuo said with a smile: "Xianggong, you have been in a coma for more than a month, and the imperial court has deprived you of all your official positions, and your new nickname is "Zhongyu", you say it's not ridiculous!"
Loyalties?
Wang Song couldn't help but be stunned and laughed softly.
Loyal to the country, wrong to seek his life, he is not dead, he can't imagine that he has a nickname first, and it seems to be fair, but it is sad.
"Ma Xuanzan, your news is quite well-informed."
Yang Zaixing said happily on the side: "Xianggong has woken up, we can finally do another big job." Xianggong, hurry up and get well, the brothers are waiting for you!"
"The eldest brother doesn't know that the Loyal Army has now been taken over by the imperial court. The envoy of Hedong Xuanfu is Zhang Shuye, and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu is Zhang Jun; The Hebei Xuanfu envoy is Zong Ze, and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu is another civil minister, Zhang Jun. Zhang Heng and Wang Lun were cut from their posts and escorted back to the capital. Lin Feng and Yelu were in Taiyuan Prison. Meng De and Jiao Wentong led their troops to leave, and they were also wanted by the imperial court. This is the situation of the Loyal and Righteous Army now!"
Liang Xing added on the side, but his expression was relaxed.
As long as Wang Song is safe and sound, even if he has nothing, he is full of confidence.
"Hebei is better."
Ma Kuo said in a deep voice: "Zong Ze and Zhang Jun are still virtuous, Yue Fei is Zong Ze's old subordinate, and the other brothers are safe and sound, so don't worry."
Wang Song nodded and said with relief: "It seems that this Zhang Jun is quite loyal, and he has not connected all the brothers, so we owe him a favor."
Yang Zaixing shook his head and said: "Those big turbans, there is no good bird!" If you want to say that the army is marching and fighting, and the measure of people, I only serve the king and the prince. Xianggong get better as soon as possible, otherwise I really don't know what tricks these people have come up with!"
Wang Song shook his head, the Battle of Fuzhou has only been a month, and there have been such great changes in the court, but he has pity on the soldiers who died under him.
Time has changed, I am not a husband, just a dead man forgotten by the world, and this may be what I should be. You can call me Wang Song in the future. ”
Ma Kuo shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Xianggong's words are wrong!" Xianggong and our brothers, there are thousands of brothers in the loyal army, and they are waiting for help. Just wait for the prime minister's order, let's wave our army to the north and fight the Jurchens!"
"Ma Xuanzan, you're bothered!"
Wang Song smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Xuanzan, why do you keep holding on to me." You can abandon me and go to Zhang Shuye or Zong Ze's account, with your talent, you will definitely be able to be reused!"
Ma Kuo's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, don't wait for idleness, the young man's head is white, empty and sad." Xianggong, I, Ma, have identified you. You have to get better quickly and lead your brothers to make great achievements. Except for you, Wang Xianggong, this Great Song Dynasty, no one can do it!"
Liang Xing joined in on the side, smiling.
"Big brother, don't worry, these days, the brothers of the Zhongyi Society have been training under the generals. Together with the thousands of loyal and righteous brothers in Jiezhou and the more than 10,000 brothers in the Licheng battalion, we still have 20,000 people. ”
Zhao Ruolan also hated and said: "Although Brother Wang Lun lost his official position, Xie Zhou is still in our hands, and the salt sellers want to buy salt, and they have to go through the brothers of the Loyal and Righteous Army." There was a mountain of money and food, enough for a large army for a while. If the court wants to take care of it, let the horse attack. ”
"It's better for Xie Zhou to return to the imperial court, and the brothers can't go home empty-handed."
Wang Song shook his head and said softly: "In the first battle of Fuzhou, I was already disheartened. The Great Song Dynasty ruled the military with literature, the civil ministers commanded the army, and the intrigue, what status did we have for the martial artists? It is better to retreat to the mountains and forests, and never be entangled in trivial matters and miss a good time. ”
Ma Kuozheng said: "Xianggong, you can watch the people suffer, we have nothing to say." Before the decisive battle in Fuzhou, you let every brother be innocent, do you want to go back on your word?"
Zhao Ruolan's face changed, and he said loudly: "You don't want to force the big brother anymore." The eldest brother almost lost his life for the country and the people, and what did he get in exchange. If you can't save it, the court will fall into the ground, and the lady will be a beast, and the court will do everything for it!"
Wang Song said gloomily: "What Xian Mei said is right. It's just a pity that the more than 10,000 brothers were thrown away in the ice and snow wasteland of Fuzhou like this, no one cared about them, and I don't know why they died. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely build a martyr's shrine and put the spiritual seat of my brothers for the world to pay homage and worship. ”
Ma Kuo's heart widened, and he nodded: "Xianggong can rest assured that all the brothers' ashes have been brought back." The names of all the brothers are also available. When you're all right, let's regroup and do a good job. ”
Wang Song nodded, thinking of the dead loyal soldiers, his expression became gloomy.
"Xu Hu, Zhang Huai, Yang Jin, Xiaochun, my good brother, I'm sorry for you."
These brothers followed him all the way, trusted him, never doubted him, but he led them to the Jedi. When they needed a new life, he played the role of the Grim Reaper.
"Xianggong, the brothers can't die in vain, their wives and children are old and young, and they still need you to take care of them!"
"Yang Zaixing is right."
Wang Song coughed softly, Zhao Ruolan hurriedly brought hot water and helped Wang Song to drink.
"After you go down, take stock of the food, grass and money, the families of those brothers who died in the battle can't be left unattended!"
Wang Song talked for a while, and his spirit became sluggish again. Ma Kuo saw that Wang Song's face was pale, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Everyone told Wang Song to rest well and recover as soon as possible.
Out of the house, everyone was excited, and they all felt that they had a head start in the future.
