Unwilling, physically and mentally exhausted, and disheartened.

Looking at the crowded and bustling scene by the salt pond, and looking at the distant city wall of Jiezhou, Wang Lun was endlessly unwilling and heartbroken, in exchange for a sigh.

The ambition died before he was rewarded, and the hero was full of tears.

Zhuge Kongming was powerless in the north of the Central Plains, and shed unwilling and sad tears, and today he suffered this catastrophe, so he better understood the helplessness and pain in the hearts of the sages.

Over forty years old, adrift for half a life, poor, the festival still exists, the dragon spring on the wall, who is the night for whom?

Fortunately, Wang Song appreciated, went to Hedong, settled the people, restored the salt, Wang Shi pointed to the north, and the southeast of the river was ruined......

On a sunny day, the loyal army was defeated in Fuzhou, more than 10,000 soldiers died in Huangquan, and Wang Song also ......

The look of pain in Wang Lun's eyes appeared. He wanted to jump into this white salt pond and live his life, but he was unwilling, did he stop these unfinished business?

As soon as Wang Song died, all his hopes came to naught, and just looking at the shackles on his hands today, he knew that his life was over.

Camps, tuntians, reclamations, refugees, everything goes with the wind.

The salt butchers on the salt pond stopped what they were doing, and looked at this respected parent official in amazement, not knowing what kind of disaster had befallen him, and he was about to be imprisoned.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, you are precious!"

I don't know who knelt down first, and the tens of thousands of salt dices by the salt pond were full of kneeling on the ground.

If the people of Hedong only know Wang Song and do not know the court, the people of Jiezhou only know Wang Lun and do not know the court. Wang Lun has countless people, restored the salt solution, and no one in Jiezhou respects this parent official who loves the people like a son.

The forbidden army escorting Wang Lun was startled, all of them looked solemn, and raised the swords and guns in their hands, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"What crime has the deputy envoy committed? Let him go!"

"Let go of the king's deputy envoy!"

More than a dozen rebellious men stepped forward, and the salters got up from the ground one after another, and followed them, and they were filled with righteous indignation and began to gather around Wang Lun.

The black crowd came around, the forbidden soldiers turned pale and retreated step by step, while the salt soldiers pressed step by step, and some of the knives and guns in the hands of the forbidden army were taken away by the salt soldiers.

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, we are also acting on orders, and this has nothing to do with us!"

"We're just running errands, arresting the king's deputy envoy, that's the will of the imperial court, it really has nothing to do with us!"

The general of the forbidden army looked frightened, quickly jumped off his horse, and walked quickly to Wang Lun's side.

"Prince, the villain is also acting on orders, please persuade the people to retreat. Otherwise, if there is an incident and the army comes, it will be a river of blood, so talk quickly!"

The general of the forbidden army helped Wang Lun to get on the horse, Wang Lun cleared his throat and shouted loudly.

"Fellow villagers, brothers Yanding, everyone should be calm, take a few steps back, don't be impulsive, and don't make trouble!"

The crowd fell silent, and the salters took a few steps back, but the knives and guns in their hands were not returned.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, why did the court arrest you, is it a traitor?"

Zhang Er stood in the front row of the crowd and said loudly.

Everyone finally settled down, Wang Lun is gone, and the good days are probably coming to an end.

"Listen to me, the court just asked me to go back to the capital to explain the reason for the matter, not to kill the people. Don't worry, do your own thing, and the court will definitely give you an explanation!"

"We don't believe in that bullshit court!"

A five-year-old and three-coarse salter shouted:

"The traitors of the court are in charge, except for harming people, they will never take us poor people to heart! Today, we must release the deputy envoy of the king, otherwise everyone will die together!"

Someone shouted loudly in the crowd.

"Kill these dogs and save the king's deputy envoy!"

The crowd was crowded and violent, and the salters rushed forward again, this time, they raised their knives and guns, and their eyes became fierce.

Wang Lun saw that the situation was grim and anxious. If you really want to make trouble, come to kill officials and rob people, and then the imperial court will send a large army here, and it will really be a river of blood and corpses all over the field.

These forbidden troops can't fight, but when they bully the common people, they are ruthless and merciless.

"Give me your knife!"

Wang Lun shouted to the generals of the forbidden army.

The generals of the forbidden army were ignorant, and Wang Lun scolded angrily:

"Do you still want to get out alive?"

The general of the forbidden army hurriedly handed over the knife, and Wang Lun took the knife and put it on his neck.

"Give me all the back, or I'll die here today!"

The surging crowd immediately ceased and became silent, and the salters began to retreat, leaving only a group of panicked forbidden soldiers in the middle.

"Throw all the knives to the ground and all step back!"

Wang Lun shouted loudly, and when he saw the salters throw down the knives and guns in their hands and take more than a dozen steps back, he shouted loudly.

"Everyone listened, the official just went back to explain the reason, and it was no big deal. If you make trouble again, this official will die here today! From now on, the salt pond will also be sealed, and everyone will have no food. Have you all listened?"

Salt Ding, you look at me, I look at you, finally get out of the way.

The forbidden soldiers were frightened, each grabbed their own swords and guns, surrounded Wang Lun, and walked forward.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, cherish all the way!"

The salters knelt down, and the black pressed one.

With tears in his eyes, Wang Lun finally didn't look back.

The crowd walked a few miles away, and then they settled down.

"This group of Diao people is really unlawless. Wang Lun, did you instruct ......?"

"Ahh

A sergeant was relieved, and just came out with a sentence, but before he finished speaking, the general of the forbidden army beside him was a whip.

The sergeant covered his face in astonishment and could no longer speak.

"If you were Diao Min, your dog's head would have fallen off long ago! Shut your dog's mouth, and if I hear you speak foul language to the prince again, I'll cut off your dog's head!"

The general's face was pale, and there was a hint of hideousness in his eyes.

"Thank you, General!"

Wang Lun nodded slightly to show gratitude.

People walk the right way, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people.

The crowd had been on a journey for a day, and in the evening, the crowd raised their heads, and the post station in front of them was impressive.

When everyone entered the post station, they saw a depressed man sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, wearing prison clothes, and Wang Lun cried out in surprise.

"Brother Zhang Heng!"

He couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart. It seems that he is going to be escorted into Beijing with Zhang Heng, and he has sympathy for the same illness.

Could it be that the loyal army is really going to collapse and disappear?

On the south bank of the Yellow River, outside the Heyang Post House in Henan Mansion, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che stopped to look north, looking quite uneasy.

Finally, a team of people appeared at the end of the post road, as the team of people got closer and closer, Chen Dong saw clearly, in the crowd, two men dressed in white, with messy hair and haggard faces, were Zhang Heng and Wang Lun.

"General Zhang, the prince ......"

Chen Dong stepped forward, with mixed feelings, but he didn't know how to speak.

Some of them entered the inn, while the remaining few sat down on the benches outside the inn and spoke in low voices.

"Gong Chen, Duke Ouyang, how did you two end up here?"

Compared with the sadness of Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, Wang Lun and Zhang Heng are much calmer.

"Wang Xianggong died in battle, the Xuanfu Division gave up, and the two of us had nothing to do in Taiyuan Mansion, and we were also recruited back to the capital."

Ouyang Che sighed and said, "The two of us also overheard the officials of the post house say that you two will also be escorted back to Beijing, so let the two of us wait here." I can't imagine that the four of my brothers should meet in such a capacity today, it's ridiculous!"

Chen Dong shook his head and said, "Two brothers, let's go in first and sit down to talk."

A pot of old wine, two side dishes, and three rounds of wine, the conversation box of the four people was opened.

As soon as Wang Xianggong left Taiyuan City with his troops on the front foot, the crown prince and a group of ministers arrived on the back foot. Wang Xianggong fought hard outside, and Taiyuan City did not send a single soldier to send reinforcements. Brother Ouyang and I took turns to write books, but we were always turned away. Traitors are troubled, and the loyal soul is not at peace!"

Chen Dong drank a glass of hot wine, but his mouth was bitter.

In the Battle of Fuzhou, Zhang Shuye, Zhang Jun, Qin Hui and others refused to increase their troops because Wang Song sent troops to reinforce them privately. Don't you know that Fuzhou has reached the point of life and death. If it weren't for Wang Song's starry night journey, Fuzhou would have been gone.

In the past, there was a compromise to shrink into the city, and then there were Zhang Shuye and others in Taiyuan City who refused to send reinforcements, if there was no brother of the Zhongyi Society to risk death to rescue, the Fuzhou Zhongyi Army would have been wiped out.

"Wang Xianggong, Wang Xianggong, you have a pure heart, not afraid of hardships and dangers, thousands of miles of rescue, how do you know that people's hearts are sinister, and the world is not ancient. You went alone, leaving my brother and me, you are so ruthless! ”

Zhang Heng drank a glass of wine, and two lines of turbid tears came out of his eyes.

"General Zhang, you mourn and change."

Ouyang Che snatched the wine glass from Zhang Heng's hand, looked at Wang Lun, who was depressed and drunk, shook his head and said:

"As soon as Wang Xianggong dies, the great cause of resisting gold will come to an abrupt end, will it fall short? Two brothers, every day is clear, you two must uphold the will of Wang Xianggong and continue to fight against the thieves. Don't be discouraged! ”

Wang Song was killed in battle, Ma Kuo fled, and the loyal army was fully taken over by the imperial court. However, in the eyes of Chen Dong and Ouyang Che, between the monarchs and ministers of the imperial court, between the ministers of civil and military affairs, between the ministers of civil and military affairs, between the ministers and military ministers, between the officials and the rebels, various forces contradict each other and tilt each other. The loyal and righteous army is in it, and it is inevitable that they will be assimilated and will not be known to everyone.

These generals of the Loyal and Righteous Army are also bound to usher in adjustments, and if they want to be as free as Wang Songzai, I am afraid it is a fool's dream. Under the adjustment, the generals will inevitably lack fighting spirit.

There will be no fighting spirit, no warrior will have no fighting spirit, and the Jurchen iron horse will dominate the world, who can compete with it?

Chen Dong couldn't help but sigh and slammed his fist on the table.

"Xianggong Wang, you are going, but you want the lives of all your brothers!"

Ouyang Che stood up angrily and said loudly: "Gong Chen, when I get to Bianliang City, I must go to the book, in addition to seeking justice for the brothers of the loyal and righteous army, I also want to impeach these mediocre ministers in the court." Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingren, Qin Hui, what are the faces of these corpse vegetarians, and they are listed among the doctors of Huanghuang?"

"What Brother Ouyang said is very true."

Chen Dong also stood up and bowed, "Brother Ouyang, I'll go to school with you." Even if the head is broken and the blood is shed, it is necessary to seek justice for the brothers of the loyal army. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, but Wang Lun next to him sighed secretly.

Above the court, there are all incorruptible and shameless people who see the wind and rudder, the two dukes are upright, humble and light, how can they shake the foundation of the court!

Zhang Heng shook his head lightly, his face sad.

"Wang Xianggong died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country, and the ministers of the court and the central government were not appeased by the army, but instead killed the killers, and the plants were led by the branches. There is no such court, then there are such courtiers! Wang Xianggong is blind and believes in the wrong person, and he is to blame!"

Everyone was shocked. Chen Dong looked at the sergeant in the distance, but fortunately no one noticed.

"Wang Xianggong, you go first, let the brothers live alone! If you listen to your brothers, with the yellow robe added, where will Dong Ping die, and how will there be today's incidents? Wang Xianggong, you are so stupid! You take into account the will of the monarch and the ministers, but you have failed the brothers and the people of the world! Why don't you listen to ......?"

Zhang Heng cried bitterly and muttered to himself, which shocked everyone next to him. Ouyang Che hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth, stopping his crazy words.

"Zhang Heng, if you keep talking, not only will we lose our heads, but the loyal army will really collapse!"

Several people glanced at each other, all of them were shocked, and they got up one after another and pulled Zhang Heng out of the courtyard.
