On the official road north of Weisheng Army in Hedong, Ma Kuo and others galloped forward despite the rain and snow, the freezing weather and the slippery road.

"A weak, incompetent, stupid court; a public and self-serving, stupid, and timid scholar; the forbidden army that is greedy for life and afraid of death, lazy and shameless, and lax in military discipline; The people of the Great Song Dynasty, who were lonely and helpless, and whose corpses were all over the field......"

Ma Kuo said hatefully in his mouth, and said loudly: "Brothers, work hard, you must go to the Licheng camp before dark!"

If you don't go to the Licheng camp sooner, I'm afraid that the imperial court will also attack Deng Shixiong and others. The urgency of the situation did not allow him to linger for a moment.

The knights mustered their spirits, hurried up, and continued to rush forward.

In the Licheng camp and on the school ground, tens of thousands of sturdy men were training hard in the rain and snow, everyone was sweating profusely, their mouths were spitting white gas, the uniformly shouts of the soldiers came and went, and the roars and scoldings of the officers sounded from time to time.

The banners are displayed, the camp tents stretch for several miles, the swords and guns are like a forest, and the fierce soldiers are lined up and columned, the steel is dazzling, and the military discipline is solemn.

Seeing a team of knights entering the county seat of Licheng like a whirlwind, the old instructors in the camp all raised their heads and thought thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid something is wrong!"

Li Chengwen muttered something in his mouth, and on his little black face, his brows wrinkled involuntarily.

"No, it won't!"

Jiang Hu asked, "Isn't it just a team of people in the past, what big things can there be?"

Li Chengwen pondered: "I looked carefully just now, there are Ma Xuanzan in the team, Yang Zaixing, and a few guards, and they all follow Wang Xianggong on weekdays. They are all back, why didn't they see Wang Xianggong?"

"Wang Xianggong's martial arts are world-famous, and thousands of troops can't help it!"

Jiang Hu shook his head and said, "Xianggong Wang must have something important, so don't worry about it."

Li Xiaohei said in a deep voice: "I hope I'm worried about nothing!"

The hall of the Licheng County Ya is crowded and overcrowded at the moment. In the middle of the lobby, several charcoal braziers glow brightly in the humid and cold winter air.

In the lobby, the generals of the loyal and righteous army gathered together. Ma Kuo only asked Deng Shixiong and a few generals to come to talk about things, but I don't know who revealed the news, and there were as many as sixty or seventy people.

Dong Ping was killed in battle, Xu Hu was killed in battle, Li Xiaochun was killed in battle, and there were fifty or sixty old brothers of the loyal and righteous army. That's all.

The most important thing is that Wang Song, the banner of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the spiritual pillar of everyone, is still unknown to this day.

It is rumored that Wang Song has died in battle, otherwise why hide and hide?

He is the prime minister, the son of heaven, and he is in a high position, who can move him?

"Whether Wang Xianggong is dead or alive, Ma Xuanzan praises you for giving a good word!"

"Brothers, Wang Xiangcheng is recuperating from his injuries, and he will definitely come to meet with his brothers later."

Ma Kuo's eyes were slightly red, Deng Shixiong saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

News came from all over the place, Wang Song was killed, and Zhang Heng, Yelugen, and Lin Feng were imprisoned. The official army controlled the state, and Wang Lun was about to be suppressed in the capital......

The sky collapsed, and everyone in the hall was heavy and speechless for a long time.

"The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. The imperial court has taken over the Hedong Loyal Army!"

Deng Shixiong laughed wildly, and said sadly: "In the court of the dog day, the brothers are born and die in front, and the court is already thinking about cutting off our back road!"

Everyone looked gloomy, their eyes glazed over, as if their backbones had been removed, and the lobby was silent.

"The imperial court really attacked the loyal army. Back then, my loyal brothers entered the city of Tokyo, sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths, and saved the court of the Great Song Dynasty, but who wants to exchange it for the current ending!"

Deng Shixiong's face was gloomy and extremely ugly.

"Ma Xuanzan, is Wang Xianggong dead or alive? Let me also be clear that the brothers have a plan. ”

Everyone's eyes swept over, and Ma Kuo was not confused at all. He sat down, forced to composure.

"Wang Xianggong was seriously injured, but he did not worry about his life. If you don't believe me, you can follow along. ”

Ma Kuo's voice became louder.

"Deng Shixiong, you, Zhang Heng, and Dong Ping are Wang Xianggong's right-hand men. Now that the enemy is on the side, and there are dangers, do you have to find a way back for yourself?"

Zhang Heng was imprisoned, Dong Ping died in battle, and Wang Song's life and death were uncertain, and thousands of thoughts turned in Deng Shixiong's mind. His face was cloudy, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Yang Zaixing pulled out his knife with a "sigh" and scolded sharply: "A group of ungrateful brutes! Wang Xianggong was seriously ill and was lying down, but you were selfish. What a loyal army, really loyal! ”

Deng Shixiong's face turned red, and he immediately jumped up, standing in the middle of the lobby, and Yang Zaixing stood almost face to face.

"Yang Zaixing, what kind of thing are you dogs! When I followed Wang Xianggong to kill the thieves, you were still herding cattle in the countryside. As long as Wang Xianggong does not die, I, Deng Shixiong, will be one of his dogs! What are you going to do, then you have the dog day to speak!"

Yang Zaixing inserted the knife back into the sheath and said loudly: "This is a good man, it is not in vain that the prince will treat you as a brother!"

Deng Shixiong saw that Yang Zaixing showed weakness and saved face, so he snorted coldly and returned to the chair and sat down.

"It's all my own brothers, just say it."

Ma Kuo's heart was stable, he walked to the middle of the lobby, and shouted to the rebellious people with different minds below:

"Brothers, the prince treats you well, and you must not leave the prince because of selfishness. If so, you will become disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!"

At this moment, Ma Kuo realized how difficult it was to gather this group of proud soldiers together. I don't know how Wang Song subdued this group of fierce and chivalrous people at that time?

The faces of everyone in the hall were different, obviously people's hearts were fluctuating, and Ma Kuo said something shocking.

"Son of Heaven, the strong soldier and the strong man do it. As long as the brothers do not abandon the world, when the king and the prince will be in the world, you will be the ministers of the dragon, glory and wealth, high-ranking officials, and wives and sons, and you will have them at your fingertips. If everybody ......"

Ma Kuo turned his head and said coldly: "Even if the prince can forgive you, I will not spare you." The opportunity is in everyone's hands, where to go, listen to it!"

Ma Kuo's words, Lei's people were stunned in the hall.

Wang Song's martial arts are world-famous, and his training is invincible in the world. If he is here, sweeping the world and fixing the Central Plains, it may not be nonsense.

These people, bandits, robbers, and country horsemen, except for Wang Song, who will take them in their eyes. Even if the imperial court gave high-ranking officials Houlu, he could really go to that elegant hall and have a heart-to-heart with a group of scholars......

"Ma Xuanzan, you also underestimate me and other brothers!"

A man with a meaty face stood up, his face flushed and swollen.

"The brothers followed Wang Xianggong from birth to death, and he didn't know how many knife wounds and gunshot wounds on his body, he was a good brother who lived and died together, and we would really leave him!"

"That's it, that's it! The head fell out but the hole the size of the bowl, how could I, Qiu Liu, be an ungrateful person!"

"When the prince is ready, the brothers will follow him to kill the thief and make meritorious contributions, how can they leave him!"

"My single fourth life has long been handed over to Wang Xianggong, and I have never had the idea of leaving!"

Everyone in the hall was in high spirits and gossiping, Deng Shixiong waved his hand and said loudly: "Brothers, be quiet, listen to me a few words!"

Everyone in the hall quieted down, and Deng Shixiong said loudly: "Brothers, let's train soldiers with peace of mind, wait for Wang Xianggong to return from his injuries, and then seek great things." You say, 'Okay?'

"Good!"

There was a thunderous roar in the lobby.

Ma Kuan let out a sigh of relief. It seems that he came in time and stabilized the morale of the army, this tens of thousands of troops, but it is the foundation of Wang Song's comeback.

Everyone said goodbye and left, and the lobby was empty again.

"Ma Xuanzan, I can only stabilize my brothers temporarily, but in a few months, if Wang Xianggong doesn't show up again......"

Ma Kuo nodded, he naturally knew the stakes. If Wang Song is dead, don't talk about Deng Shixiong, even he will be depressed and sluggish.

"Brother Deng rest assured, Wang Xianggong will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and return from his injuries. How many things he hasn't done yet, how can he be willing? ”

Deng Shixiong nodded emphatically, and there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

He knows Wang Song's character, he is warm-hearted, martial arts, and treats the people like relatives, especially the widows, widows, loneliness, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, all of them are wholehearted and have no distracting thoughts.

As for traitors and thieves, Wang Song is cold and cruel, and he kills mercilessly. The culprit of the Jin people's invasion of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yanzong, Wanyan Zongwang and others, Wang Song has always been a killer and has no mercy.

He Deng Shixiong used to be just a household in the township, half a mud leg, but Wang Song made him get ahead, and in terms of money and materials, he never owed anything.

Death for a confidant. When he met a Shangguan plus brother like Wang Song, shouldn't he be heartfelt!

Thinking of his own gains and losses just now, Deng Shixiong couldn't help but secretly scolded himself a few words: Are you still a human being on the dog's day, your conscience let the dog eat!

In the troubled times, the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is fluttering, the life is ups and downs, like the rain beating the weak, and the life is as cheap as pigs and dogs. He has a rotten life, and in this life, he will be handed over to Wang Song.

"Ma Xuanzan, Wang Xianggong is not here, and the thieves are coming, but what should I do?"

There are more than 100,000 people gathered in Licheng County, and there are more than 100,000 refugees in Licheng Daying, and the population of nearly 300,000 is far from being able to be accommodated by a small county in Licheng.

Ma Kuo shook his head and said, "The strong wall is clear, and retreat to the city or the mountains." The camp of Li Cheng is already a thorn in the side of the Jin people, don't spoil a big thing for a little thing!"

Ma Kuo asked for paper and ink, and he finished writing quickly.

"Brother Yang, you take this letter, go to Tokyo City for a walk, hand him over to Li Yanxian, and let him take care of Zhang Heng and Wang Lun for the sake of Wang Xianggong's affection. As for how to rescue afterwards, after Wang Xianggong recovers, he will know. ”

Yang Zaixing left, and Ma Kuo sat on the chair, his face full of exhaustion.

After these days, he was exhausted and a little overwhelmed.

The door opened, and a large group of biao-shaped men walked in, who turned out to be generals and old men in the army.

Ma Kuo and Deng Shixiong were both stunned, looking at the generals suspiciously.

"Li Zixiong, Qiu Liu, are you in trouble?"

The leading man blushed and said embarrassedly: "Ma Xuanzan, my brothers just want to know, do we have to prepare." If Wang Xianggong ascends the throne, our brothers, do you want to prepare a crown, a dragon robe or something, and you will be caught off guard when you get it. ”

Ma Kuo and Deng Shixiong were both dumbfounded. Deng Shixiong was stunned for a moment, then immediately darkened his face, walked over, and reached out to pick up the short stick in the corner.

"Get out of here! If the prince is here, he will not be ...... by your dog's anger."

The generals ran out crying wolf, Deng Shixiong threw down the wooden stick, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"These dogs, don't fight for three days, go to the house and uncover the tiles. Only when the prince is here, these guys don't dare to go wild!"

He scratched his head, and suddenly remembered something.

"Ma Xuanzan, when the news of Wang Xianggong's death came out, Miss Li left, as if she was sick at something."

Ma Kuo sighed. Wang Song's "death" and Zhao Duofu ended, Master Li left, Zheyuexiu is the moon in the water, fortunately there is also a Zhao Ruolan.

Otherwise, Wang Song really became a loner.
