Ying Tian.

The new emperor's enthronement ceremony has only passed a short time, and everything in this ancient city, which was originally the capital of the Wu Dynasty, is very lively, with chariots, horses, and business travelers gathering from the south to the north. Because of the new emperor's accession to the throne, this autumn, there will be a new imperial examination in Yingtianfu, and the gathering of scribes and warriors will also make this ancient city overcrowded for a while.

In the past few decades, the Wu Dynasty once seemed vigorous because of the development of commerce, and after the civil strife in Liao, they realized that there might be opportunities in this world, and the speculators of the Wu Dynasty were also once excited, thinking that it may have reached the critical moment of Zhongxing. However, with the subsequent rise of the Jin State and the fighting of swords and guns on the battlefield, people found that the Wu Dynasty army, which had lost its sharpness, could no longer keep up with the pace of this era. Now, after the two southern invasions of the Jin Kingdom, although the new imperial court "Jianshuo" was established again in Yingtian, the road ahead of this Wu Dynasty is indeed difficult at present.

The kingdom will die out of demons, and the vicissitudes of the sea will show heroes. King Kang ascended the throne, after the change of the Yuan Dynasty, the previous change of the dynasty when the scene of no matter who rushed over to seek fame is no longer seen, the original in the court of some of the big families in the good and bad, this time has been greatly reduced - of course, will come to Yingtian at this time, naturally most of them are self-confident people, but before coming here, most of the people have thought about the purpose of this trip, that is, to turn the tide of the tide, for the difficulties, not to mention empathy, at least have been brained.

In addition to these people, some hermits and great Confucians who lived in seclusion in the mountains in the past because of their unsmooth careers or various reasons have also been invited out of the mountains at this time, in order to deal with this great enemy that has not been seen for hundreds of years, and make suggestions.

The more the country perished, the more patriotic sentiment grew. And after the first two blows, this time the court. At least it seems that it has finally brought some calmness and heritage that truly belongs to a big country.

In a newly built area in the east of the city, the atmosphere is a little quieter, and the warm autumn breeze blows through the courtyard, driving the yellow leaves to fall. In a room in the courtyard, a secret meeting is coming to an end.

At this time, he was sitting at the bottom of the room. It was a young man dressed in green clothes, he looked twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a square appearance and a well-proportioned figure, although he did not look burly, but his eyes and body appeared to be powerful. He folded his legs, pressed his hands on his knees, and sat upright, his motionless figure showing his slight nervousness. This young man's name is Yue Fei and Zi Pengju. Obviously, he had not expected such a meeting before.

The person who sat on the throne was a younger man, who was handsome and a little weak, but his words were not only clear, but his tone was also quite gentle: the little prince Junwu was already the prince of the new dynasty at this time. At this time. With the help of Lu Agui and others, he is carrying out some political activities under the table.

“…… Jin is powerful. Now that I have tasted the sweetness, I will inevitably repeat it again and again, and I don't know how much more time I have to catch my breath. Speaking of which, there is no need to hide it from Yue Qing's family, I used to stay in the south with my father. I don't know how to fight, but there are always things that I can understand. The army cannot fight, and many times, in fact, it is not the responsibility of the military attaché's side. Now that things are expedient, and I am annoyed that Yue Qing's family is training for me, I can only try my best to ensure two things......"

“…… First, the money and food needed for military training, and the official articles to be left, the Prince's Mansion will do its best to solve it for you. Second, everything you do is instructed by the Prince's Mansion, there is a black cauldron, I will carry it for you, fight against anyone, you can pull my banner. The country is in danger, there are some big situations, I can't take care of it, it doesn't matter who I have friction with, Yue Qing's family, I want to be a good soldier, even if I can't defeat the Jurchens, I have to be able to fight a draw with them......"

In these straightforward words, Yue Fei's eyes moved slightly, and for a moment, his eyes were a little red. All along, he hopes that he can lead the army to serve the country, achieve something great, comfort his life, and comfort his mentor Zhou Dong. After meeting Ning Yi, he once felt that he had met an opportunity, but before Ning Yi raised the anti-flag, he chatted with him a few times, and then transferred him out to perform other things.

After Ning Yi killed the king, the two actually met once, and Ning Yi invited him to go the same way, but Yue Fei still refused after all. After the chaos in the capital, he hid to the north of the Yellow River, and led several teams of village warriors to train daily in order to fight against the Jurchens in the future - in fact, this is also self-deception - because of Ning Yi's crime of killing the king, he could only hold his tail and hide his name, if it weren't for the Jurchens who soon went south to besiege Bianliang for the second time, and the investigation was not detailed enough, it is estimated that he would have been found out long ago.

His grievances over the past few days can be imagined, who knew that not long ago someone finally found him and brought him to Yingtian, and today when he saw the prince of the new dynasty, the other party could say such a thing. Yue Fei was about to kneel down and promise, but Jun Wu hurriedly came over and held him hard.

"Don't do that." Jun Wu said, "You are the closed disciple of Sect Master Zhou Dong Zhou, I can trust you." Those of you who practice martial arts and lead the army must be bloody, and you should not kneel casually. Those literati in the court are busy with intrigue all day long, so they should kneel, anyway, they can't do it if they kneel, they should kneel more, kneel more, and they will know more about the way of the honey belly sword. ”

The young prince was joking, and Yue Fei gave up his hand and stood solemnly.

"The recent events in the northwest, Yue Qing's family knows, right?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refers to ......"

"Heh, Yue Qing doesn't have to be taboo, I don't care about this. Right now, this month, the most lively thing in the capital, in addition to the enthronement of my father, is the battle of the northwest that everyone is secretly talking about. The Black Flag Army defeated more than 100,000 troops in Western Xia with 10,000 troops, so powerful and domineering. It's a pity, I'm facing a million army, everyone says why can't you fight, you can't fight, the Black Flag Army used to be out of a million army, how can you fight when you get to someone's place...... This is also a good thing, which shows that our Wu Dynasty people are not bad by nature, if we find the right way, it is not that we can't beat the Jurchens. ”

The two of them walked outside one after the other, and the falling yellow leaves fell on Jun Wu's head, and he grabbed them and played with them in his hands.

"Everything is inseparable from the way of things, even if it is this leaf, why it falls, why the veins on the leaf grow so much, there is also a reason in it. See the truth clearly, see if we can do this ourselves, and if we can't, whether there is a possibility of compromise and change. Yue Qing's house. Do you know the way of things? ”

“…… I've heard a little bit. ”

"My other business outside the city is still being sorted out, and it will take about a month to officially start construction, and I won't tell you the truth, the big Kong Ming lantern I made is about to be able to fly, once it is done. It can be used in military formations, and I will give it to you first. The next time you go back to Beijing, I'll take you to see it, and as for the elm cannons, I'll allocate some to you soon...... Those people in the Ministry of Industry are stupid, they want people to do things, and they don't give people benefits, they can't compare to the craftsmen under me, it's a pity. They also need time to settle ......"

"Your thing, the identity issue. The prince's mansion will handle it for you, of course, in the past two days in Beijing, you have to be cautious, recently this should be Tianfu, there are many old scholars, and when I meet me, I will say that the prince can't be like this and can't be like that. You go to the Yellow River to recruit troops. If necessary, you can take my handwritten letter and ask Boss Zongze for help, and now the matter on the other side of the Yellow River. It's the Sect Elder who is dealing with ......"

In the plain and chattering voice, the autumn sun engraved the figures of the two young people in the golden air. Beyond this place, pedestrians, cars and horses are passing through this ancient city, the trees are lush and dotted, the Qinglou Chu Hall is open as usual, and the faces of people entering and exiting are full of joy. In the restaurant and tea shop, the storyteller pulls the erhu and takes pictures of the waking wood. A new official took office, and a courtyard was purchased in this ancient city, and a plaque was put up, and there were people who congratulated him. Come to the door with a smile.

It is a city of hundreds of thousands of people, and at this moment, the precious peace is enveloping them and warming them.

The eldest princess Zhou Pei sat by the window in the attic, looking at the trees with yellow leaves and the birds flying over the trees. In the first few days of coming, Qu Zonghui tried to repair the relationship with his wife, but Zhou Pei, who was entangled in many things, had no time to take care of him, and the couple maintained their distance so lukewarmly.

She lives in this attic, but secretly she is still managing many things. Sometimes she was in a daze in the attic, and no one knew what she was thinking. Cheng Zhouhai, who has now been taken over by her, came over one day and suddenly felt that the layout of this courtyard seemed familiar when he was in Bianliang, but he was also a person with a lot of things, and soon put this boring idea behind him......

Far away in the northwest, the peaceful atmosphere with the arrival of autumn also briefly shrouded this yellow earth. More than a month ago, in several battles from Yanzhou to Dong Zhiyuan, the Huaxia Army lost nearly half of its soldiers. On Dong Zhiyuan, the number of light and serious wounded is still less than 4,000, and after converging the previous more than 1,000 wounded, the number of combatable people in this army is now about 4,040, and the remaining four or five hundred people have lost their combat ability forever, or can no longer charge at the front line.

Some of the wounded were temporarily left in Yanzhou, while others were sent back to Xiaocanghe. Today, a contingent of about 3,000 people remained in Yanzhou to serve as a garrison during this time. The Black Flag Army did not openly recruit troops to the outside world, but after inspecting some people in the city who had lost their families and were living extremely hard, and with the efforts of the other party, they would "make an exception" and absorb some people. That's not a lot of people today.

When the sunset gently shone from the sky, Mao Yishan prepared a jar of well water for an old woman who lived alone in a courtyard. When the trembling old woman asked to leave him for dinner, he left with a smile. When they invaded the city of Yanzhou two months ago, there was such an incident: an old woman pushed a bucket of water and waited on the side of the road with a few dates, and rewarded the king master with these meager things, her only son was killed in the previous massacre with the Tanguts, and now she was left alone.

Mao Yishan drank a bowl of water from her, and after returning to Yanzhou, he often came to help her a little. But in these two short months, the old woman who lived alone has rapidly weakened, after the death of her son, there is still hatred and expectation in her heart, and after the revenge of her son has been avenged, for the old woman, this world, there is nothing she cares about.

In the school field near the city wall, the training of more than 2,000 soldiers came to an end. After the horn of dismissal sounded, the soldiers left the place one by one, and on the way, they talked to each other a few words, with a smile on their faces, which was a little tired, but more of a vigor and confidence that could not be seen on the faces of soldiers of the same era.

In the inn west of the city, a small quarrel is taking place.

“…… You're right, I don't want to be involved in this anymore. ”

"You...... I didn't tell you about the deliberate departure when you attacked Xiaocanghe. Now that you say such things, Tie Tianying, you can still be regarded as the chief catcher of the Criminal Department!? ”

"Yes, I'm the chief catcher of the Criminal Department, but what is the head catcher, isn't it just an errand runner. Tong Wangye was killed by him, and the emperor was also killed by him, I always catch the head, hey...... Lord Li, don't talk about the chief arrest of the Criminal Department, my Iron Sky Eagle name is also a hero in the green forest, but what can I do? Even Lin Xichan, who is the first in the world, is not being driven away in front of him. ”

“……”

"Master Li, it is your business to read the world in mind, and those of us who practice martial arts are really not in our hands. That Ning Yi, do you know that I also punched him in person, he didn't fight back, I looked at it, and he in turn killed the emperor directly on the Jinluan Palace. And now, the 10,000 Black Flag Army has beaten away more than 100,000 people! Master Li, I don't want to say this, but I do see it clearly: he is the one who wants to turn the world upside down. I'm not dead, do you know why? ”

“……”

"--It's because he didn't look at me properly!"

“……”

"It's enough that I'm not dead, go back to the Wu Dynasty, look at the situation, I should hand over my post, I should ask for guilt, if the situation is not good, the world will be chaotic anyway, I will also find a place to hide incognito."

“…… I see, you go. ”

"No, I'm not leaving." The one who spoke shook his head.

“……”

"The northwest is not peaceful, and my Tie Tianying is greedy for life and afraid of death, but there is still a bit of martial arts. Master Li, you are a big man, amazing, you want to fight him, here, I will protect you for a ride, when you go back, we will part ways, it can be regarded as a ...... Keep a thought. ”

Under the autumn sun in the northwest, some people are full of spirits, some people are full of doubts, some people are disheartened, and the messengers of the two families have also arrived. In such a situation, a small episode is happening silently.

In August, the envoy from the Jin Kingdom quietly came to Qingmu Village, and then entered the city of Yanzhou through the Xiaocang River, and soon after, the envoy returned to the Jin Kingdom along the same route, bringing back the words of refusal.

-- The people of China do not go to foreign countries.

Everything seemed serene and peaceful.

Just like before the arrival of night, the clouds on the horizon always look magnificent and peaceful. In the evening, Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian climbed the tower of Yanzhou and exchanged information about the departure of the Jurchen envoy, and then there was a slight silence.

"In a few days, the seeds and the folds will know about the return of Western Xia to Gyeongju."

With a few fingers knocking on the women's wall, Ning Yi calmly opened his mouth.

And then ...... Let's do something that surprises them. ”

The evening breeze blew, and the clothes and flags were hunting. On the city wall, the two of them were as tall as arrows, welcoming the darkness in the distance like a tide. Before this darkness, all the intrigues seemed to be so petty. (To be continued.) )
