Chapter 384: Northland (4)
After Zhi Yuzhong finished the previous words, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Xiao Ke wants to look for Liu Min after recovering his health, but I don't know if she is dead or alive, let alone where she is; I had to return to my hometown in Fuzhou! ”
Li Fang listened to Zhi Yuzhong tell the story of this fateful hanging by a thread, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect General Zhi to have such a thrilling experience!" It's a miracle to be able to escape from death! ”
"It's all for Li Jiqian's thief!" Zhi Yuzhong said happily: "Li Jiqian has a backbone, this is a thing that has been proven by practice!" This guy once came to Fuzhou to bewitch us to rebel against the Song Dynasty, and was dissatisfied after being rejected by my master; If it weren't for the strict precautions in the mansion, the dog thief might have set fire to the mansion to vent his personal anger, and Xiao Ke could observe this guy's rebellious mentality; I've been following him! ”
Zhi Yuzhong paused as he spoke, cleared his throat and said: "Xiao Ke followed Li Ji to Xiazhou, and this guy took 100 dead soldiers to ride on horses and went to the Songpan region in the southwest!" ”
Lu Mengzheng asked unreasonably: "What did Li Jiqian do with a hundred dead soldiers on horseback and go to Songpan?" ”
"The Songpan area is the hometown of the party members!" Zhe Yuzhong Zhenzhen said: "The Xiazhou Dangxiang clan is a Xianbei branch, which was the first to expand in the Songpan area; After the Xiazhou party moved to the north, the Songpan party still flourished in that area, and Li Thief planned to go to his hometown to recruit troops and horses to expand his power; Xiao Ke still bit him and didn't let go, and sure enough, he found that this guy was haunted by Dangxiang Village and Qiang Village in the area of Huangliangchuan! ”
Zhang Qixian exclaimed and said: "General Zhe's loyalty can be seen, and the Zhejia army is loyal; The imperial court let the Zhe family follow the officials and lords for generations to protect the northern Xinjiang, so that there was peace in the Fuzhou area, and the military court of the Zhe family was the barrier in the north! ”
Seeing Zhang Qixian's praise, Zhi Yuzhong bowed humbly and respectfully: "The Privy Counsellor has won the award!" The Zhejia army was valued by the imperial court, and it was the responsibility of the people of the times to guard the border passes; Xiao Ke tracked Li Jiqian because of his personality! ”
Zhi Yuzhong said and said in a deep throat: "Xiao Ke tracked Li Jiqian to Songpan and found that this guy had already colluded with Wei Qingming, the deputy supervisor of the Qingshichuan Horse Farm, and planned to buy 2,000 war horses from the horse farm!" ”
Lu Duan was surprised and said: "Li Jiqian wants to buy 2,000 war horses from the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Supervisor, 2,000 is not a small number; That means that the thieves have expanded their power in the Songpan area at least more than 2,000 people! ”
"Your Excellency has a point!" Zhi Yuzhong bowed his hand and said: "But Xiao Ke and Liu Min teamed up to smash Li Jiqian's conspiracy to expand the army in Songpan, and they both fell into the poisonous fire of the demon monk Weng Lianluqi; The eyes of the heavens will be swallowed by the poisonous fire of the demon monk Weng Lianluqi but fall into the abyss to escape, thank God for the ancestors! ”
Kou Zhun has been listening quietly to Zhi Yuzhong's narration, and Zhi Yuzhong mentioned Liu Min; Kou Zhun looked at Yang Heyi and said, "General Yang, didn't Liu Min die in the chaos in the battle of Xiwazi in Jingzhou Prefecture?" ”
Seeing Kou Zhun speak like this, Zhi Yuzhong panicked and said, "What did you say, Lord Kou? Liu Min died in the capital......"
"Liu Min died in the chaotic battle in Xiwazi, Jingzhou Prefecture! But the poisonous fire she encountered by the demon monk Weng Lianluqi was before the state Xiwazi! Yang Yiyi decisively interrupted Yu Zhong's words, stood up and said impassionedly: "Brother Yu Zhong, Prime Minister Li Cheng and several adults rushed to Fuzhou to find the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo by holy order; The last general will come to your mansion with the team! "Yang Heyi, this is a change of topic.
Zhen Yuzhong was stunned, and Yang He was stunned: "We set off from the capital to Taiyuan Mansion first, and then crossed the Yellow River from Taiyuan Mansion to the northwest to Fuzhou; Prime Minister Li Cheng said that Zhefu was in Fuzhou City, so he came to disturb the Zhe brothers! ”
Yang Yiyi said as he gave Zhi Yuzhong a look.
Seeing Yang Heyi's mysterious expression, Zhi Yuzhong knew that he had something to say; He pretended not to know anything and laughed loudly, and said: "When the prime minister of the imperial court, the privy envoy and several high-ranking officials come to our house, the family must be flourishing; The young general here brings the main family to warmly welcome all the adults, and I hope that you will not hesitate to give alms, and you will rest when you are drunk! ”
Li Fang and his entourage saw that Yu Zhong was polite, and they all laughed with him.
Zhen Yuzhong stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "If you come here, you will be safe, and when you come to Fuzhou, you will return home; After a full meal and a good rest in the mansion, the young general led the mansion brothers out to inquire about the news of the eldest prince; As soon as there is information, it will be submitted immediately! ”
The banquet ended in laughter, and Zhi Yuzhong asked the servants to arrange a stay for everyone; Only then did Yang Yiyi drag him to a remote place in the back garden for questioning.
The back garden of the mansion dares to be comparable to the royal palace, with tall trees and lush green shrubs: it is the season of summer and autumn, and the garden is full of flowers; Butterflies and eagles dance.
Zhi Yuzhong said to Yang Yiyi while walking: "Brother Yang gave Xiao Ke a look at the banquet just now, could it be that Liu Min is not dead and you have some secrets to keep......
Without waiting for Zhi Yuzhong to finish speaking, Yang Yiyi interrupted: "The young general who has ears on the wall should not be loud!" ”
Yang Yiyi said as he dragged Yu Zhong's arm and walked a few hundred meters deeper into the garden, and saw a stone stool, on which Yu Zhong sat down; Only then did he say solemnly: "How can Liu Min die? She is now with the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo! ”
After Yang Yiyi said this, he let out a long sigh and said: "There was a plague in Kyushu in the north, and Liu Min took the opportunity to rush over with the Tianxiang army; may have joined the front line of epidemic prevention! ”
Zhi Yuzhong grabbed Yang Yiyi's hand and said, "So Liu Min is not in Hongzhou?" The epidemic in Yanzhou and Hongzhou has killed many people for more than half a year, and all those who can escape have fled; The plague is spreading to the Dingbian Army and the Security Army, if Liu Min comes over to prevent the epidemic, he will be in the Dingbian Army or the Security Army! ”
Yang Yiyi pondered for a while and said: "It is still unknown where Liu Min is, but it is a fact that she is with the eldest prince Zhao Yuanzuo, as long as you find Zhao Yuanzuo, you can find Liu Min!" ”
Yang Yiyi said impassionedly: "Just now Yang gave Brother Yuzhong a look, just because he was afraid that it would be bad for Liu Min to say that leaking his mouth; Because in the minds of the enthroned high-ranking officials of the imperial court who accompanied him, Liu Min had already died in the battle of Xiwazi in the state! ”
Zhi Yuzhong stared at Yang Yiyi suspiciously and asked, "What's going on with Zhou Xiwazi, Lord Kou mentioned it; also said that Liu Min died in the chaos, and Brother Yang seemed to be in the same tone as Lord Kou at that time! ”
"Yang can only follow Lord Kou's words at the banquet, when it comes to Xiwazi, there are so many canals and channels inside!" Yang Yiyi sighed deeply and worriedly, and escaped Liu Min from the hands of the demon monk Weng Lian Qi, and was rescued by Hulang Wang Zhou; In the end, he came to the capital and told Zhi Yuzhong:
Liu Min fainted after being knocked off the cliff by the demon monk Weng Lian Lian with the magic weapon "Qiha Zen Staff" in his hand, but God did not give up and a heavy rain woke her up.
Liu Min found that he was still alive, so he stubbornly crawled out of the ditch.
Liu Min didn't know how long he had been climbing, and he was unconscious in the ditch again; Discovered by Hulang Wang Zhou.
Wang Zhou carried the burden of Hulang to the village to sell department stores, and returned home after selling the goods that day; When I saw that there were blue-eyed wheat plums in the ditch, I wanted to pick some.
Wang Zhou walked into the ditch and found Liu Min on the unconscious path; didn't care about picking wheat and plum, picked her up and rushed back to her home in Mars.
Wang Zhou's home is a pit courtyard, and the Hun family is a pig killer named Gong Huangxing; Wang Zhou also has a blind old lady, Granny Shen.
Gong Huangxing and Granny Shen saw that Wang Zhou had a girl back, and hurriedly carried her into the house to wash and change her clothes; After that, he asked the Tiantai Guanyi Qingdao Chief to treat Liu Min's injuries.
When Yang Yiyi said this, he stopped his words a little mysteriously, looked at Zhi Yuzhong and said, "It's also Mai Mang, who fell into the eye of the needle, and it's very clever!" The head of the Qing Dao is actually Liu Min's master in Xuanji Cave, the black stagecoach! ”
Yang Yiyi paused as he spoke: "Liu Min inadvertently leaked the Xuanji Cave and the Black Stagecoach, it turns out that she has practiced in the Xuanji Cave; No wonder the spirit of the body is incomparable! Oh yes," Yang Yiyi stared at Zhi Yuzhong and said: "Brother Zhe seems to have also been to Xuanji Cave, what is Xuanji Cave for!" ”
Zhe Yuzhong saw that Yang Heyi asked seriously, but he was not conservative; bluntly said: "Xuanji Cave is a grotto, which contains all kinds of martial arts skills practiced by martial artists in the world; Xiao Ke found Xuanji Cave by chance, and met Liu Min after practicing martial arts there for several years! ”
After Zhen Yuzhong finished saying the above words, he raised his arm and said, "Brother Yang, why did you say that Liu Min appeared in Xiwazi...... Zhouxi?"
"Liu Min fought with the four masters of the Imperial City Division, Jiang Qing, Shen Yang, Han Fei, and Yang Guang, and the four masters were all killed by Liu Min in the end!" Yang Yiyi said with interest, stretched out his hand and patted it on his forehead, killing a blood-sucking mosquito and laughing: "Brother Zhe, there are such powerful mosquitoes in the back garden, look at this bag on Yang's forehead!" ”
Zhi Yuzhong looked up, and sure enough, he saw the remains of a big mosquito on Yang Yiyi's forehead where he slapped him, and there was blood around the corpse; A red envelope the size of a copper coin also appeared.
Zhi Yuzhong smiled and said, "Brother Yang just shot a gadfly to death, and that guy is 10 times the blood sucked by ordinary mosquitoes; When Brother Yang first arrived, the gadfly wanted you to make some contributions! ”
Yang Yiyi saw Yu Zhong's ridicule, and couldn't cry or laugh; Picked a leaf from the poplar tree above his head, wiped it on the forehead of the bulging red envelope, and said with a smile: "The gadfly in Zhefu also bullies the living!" ”
Zhi Yuzhong laughed loudly, pointed at Yang Yiyi and said: "This is Brother Yang's retribution for not telling the truth!" ”
The two smiled at each other, and Zhi Yuzhong looked at Yang Yiyi and said, "Brother Yang, it's best not to hide it next, and tell all the sources of why Liu Min killed the four masters of the Imperial City Division!" ”
"Liu Min wants to marry Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, but Song Taizong is not allowed!" Yang Yiyi said unabashedly, hugging and saying unevenly: "After Liu Min recovered his injuries in Wang Zhou's Martian Depression Courtyard, he cured Wang Zhou's old lady Granny Shen of her eye disease, and then came to the capital with Wang Zhou, Gong Huangxing, and Granny Shen!" ”
When Zhi Yuzhong heard Yang Heyi say that Liu Min wanted to marry Zhao Heng, the king of Xiang, and Song Taizong was not allowed, his heart was like overturning a five-flavor bottle; There are bitter, sweet, sour, spicy and astringent tastes.
After Zhi Yuzhong met Liu Min and Grandpa Huo in Xuanji Cave, he had a crush on her in the following days; The two tacitly cooperated with the Qiang Village and the Qingshichuan Horse Husbandry Supervisor to do several major things.
It was precisely because of Zhe Yuzhong's crush on Liu Min that he rushed to rescue her after the demon monk Weng Lianluqi captured her; But both of them were attacked by poisonous toads.
After recuperating from his injuries in Xuanji Cave, Zhe Yuzhong wanted to find Liu Min, but he didn't know where she was; Zhe Yuzhong also disguised himself as a pilgrim and went to Toad Mountain to look for it, but the incense there was broken.
That's because Lu Chengyu rushed over to find Liu Min to no avail, and knew that the demon monk Weng Lianluqi was hiding in a toad cave, so he set fire to a toad mountain and burned it.
It is unknown whether the demon monk Weng Lian Luqi is dead or alive, but Lu Chengyu believes that Liu Min will not die; I decided to go to the capital to find it.
When Zhi Yuzhong arrived at Toad Mountain, Lu Chengyu had razed it to the ground, and the incense that had been burning for many years was extinguished.
Zhe Yuzhong did not find Liu Min, so he had to return to Fuzhou, Zhejiazhai, and he was always concerned about Liu Min in his heart, thinking that if he could find her, he would definitely propose to her in person; However, Liu Min was like Zhao Heng, the son of the emperor, who was married to the emperor, and Yu Zhong only felt sour pain in his heart.
After Yang Yiyi finished speaking, Liu Min wanted to marry the king of Xiang, Zhao Heng, and Song Taizong was not allowed, and he didn't think much about it when he saw that Yu Zhong was silent; Throat throat continued: "Xiangwang Zhao Heng is also a lover, I saw Liu Min dancing the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie on the street; It was love at first sight to take Liu Min back to Xiangwang's mansion, but Zhao Heng's adoptive mother, Mrs. Qin Guo, couldn't get used to Liu Min suing Taizong for a battle; Taizong immediately sent Lan Caihe, the head of the Imperial City Division, and Wang Jien, the eunuch, to the Xiangwang Mansion to arrest him; Lan Caihe was killed by Liu Min, and the eunuch Wang Jien was seriously injured! ”
When Zhi Yuzhong heard that Liu Min had killed Lan Caihe, the head of the Imperial City Division, he stared at Yang Yiyi with a little horror and said, "So Liu Min killed not just four people, but five!" ”
"Needless to say!" Yang Yiyi said disapprerovingly: "Whoever wants to bully Liu Min can only end up dying!" However, after Lan Caihe's death, Lu Chengyu made a move! ”
"Governor Lu!" Zhi Yuzhong cried: "Governor Lu is also in the capital? ”
"Yes! The major general forgot about the Governor Lu sending horses to the capital? Yang Heyi said solemnly: "After the Lu Governor's Mansion surrounded the Toad Mountain, he looked for Liu Min and set fire to the Lama Cave, he believed that Liu Min would not die and must go to the capital, so he led 500 soldiers to the capital in the name of sending horses!" ”
Yang Heyi said with a smile when he said this: "Governor Lu and Wen Zhixian sent horses to the capital, and the emperor asked them to send them directly to Yanmen Pass!" ”
"Isn't Yanmen Pass a pass guarded by the Yang family?" Zhao Zheyuzhong asked: "Did Governor Lu give the horses to General Yang?" ”
"That's right, Governor Lu sent 2,000 war horses to the old general Yang Ye of Yanmen Pass; The Last General is among them! Yang Heyi said happily: "Governor Lu sent 2,000 war horses to General Yang, which is a charcoal in the snow!" ”
Yang Yiyi said and said for a while: "Governor Lu led us with 500 soldiers, no, it is already 800 Tianxiang troops; Because after 500 soldiers arrived in the capital, the emperor deployed 300 people from the forbidden army to make up 800, and the number was also called Tianxiang Army! ”。
"I see!" Zhi Yuzhong was surprised and said: "Tianxiang Army! That's a good number! ”
Yang Heyi sneered and said: "It may be the auspiciousness of the Tianxiang Army, Governor Lu cooperated with General Yang to fight a big victory in Yanmen Pass; The head of Xiao Duli, the concubine of the Liao State, was cut off by General Yang, and Li Chonghai and Xiao Tzuai, the commanders of the Liao army, were captured alive......"
