At the end of November of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the Western Xia army not only failed to end the battle in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty before the heavy snow came as planned, on the contrary, the 400,000 army had lost nearly 150,000 people, and had lost Hezhou, Gongzhou, Huanzhou and other places under the onslaught of the Great Song Dynasty.

Soon, the imperial court issued a decree, and the generals of the Western Army, such as Xuanzhong Shidao and Zhe Keda, as well as Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa of the Heavenly Dao Army, entered Beijing to accept the reward.

Seed Shidao and other generals of the Western Army rushed to Tokyo soon after receiving the holy decree, but Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa did not act immediately, they rested the army on the spot in the name of guarding against the comeback of the Xia army, and sent an urgent letter to Jingdong Road, asking Zheng Fei how to deal with it, and a few days later, the imperial court issued an urgent order for the two to enter Beijing, and the two had to go to Tokyo to avoid unnecessary trouble, and the road was as slow as possible.

Finally, when the line reached the border of Gyeonggi Road in Junju, Jingdong Road sent back the news, and Zheng Fei only replied with one sentence, "Just go, give what you want." ”

Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa looked at each other and smiled, and then led the army to rush to Tokyo at full speed, and when they came to Ruzhou, which was three hundred miles away from Tokyo, the imperial court's holy decree arrived again, ordering the army of the Heavenly Dao Army to stop here, and only Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa were allowed to lead a small number of guards into Beijing.

A day later, Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa arrived in Tokyo, and then they were summoned to the palace.

When I came to the palace gate, I happened to meet the seed master Dao and others who had just received the order to enter the palace.

The seed master Dao and others had already arrived in Tokyo more than ten days ago, but they had not been summoned in the city of Tokyo, and today they suddenly received an order to summon them into the palace, so they hurried over, and when they came to the palace gate, they met Pang Wanchun and Liu Fa, although everyone didn't say it, but they all understood in their hearts, no wonder they came to Tokyo for so long and were not called, it turned out that they were waiting for these two.

The battlefield is about strength, and the Tiandao Army has already won the respect of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty by virtue of its bloody battles in the northwest battlefield and the huge role it played, but even so, the generals of the Western Army are very unhappy in their hearts, and they are all secretly paying the imperial court It is really too partial, just to wait for them, they have to let their own people wait, why are they so generous?

Everyone met and greeted each other and entered the palace together, compared with the cautious words and deeds of the seed master Dao, Zhe Keda and others after entering the palace, Pang Wanchun looked left and right curiously and excitedly along the way, because entering the palace was the first thing for him to be a big girl in a sedan chair, and he had only heard how good the palace was when he was listening to the play, but now of course he had to watch it carefully.

Liu Fa has been here twice, and after five or six months of fighting side by side in the northwest, the two of them have also formed a friendship of forgetfulness, each other admires each other's fearless courage and superb military command ability on the battlefield, Liu Fa is all the way to Pang Wanchun as a guide, the two have talked and laughed in the palace, relaxed as shopping,

In their opinion, it is understandable that Pang Wanchun behaved like this, but Liu Fa's performance was greatly beyond their expectations, and it can be seen that Liu Fa is not pretending to be arrogant, but a kind of heartfelt relaxation and confidence.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, what has this Liu Fa experienced since he betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Liangshan bandits? What made a former high-ranking general of the Great Song Dynasty who swallowed mountains and rivers on the battlefield, but had to be a man with his tail between his legs in the court, become like this? What made him categorically reject all the co-optation actions of the Great Song Dynasty when he was in the northwest, and followed a gang of thieves with all his heart? What made him dare to show off his arrogance as a martial artist so much?!

Seed Master Dao retracted his gaze at Liu Fa, and somehow, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the scene a few months ago, when he forcibly visited Liu Fa in the middle of the night as an old friend, and persuaded him to return to the Great Song Dynasty and serve the Great Song Dynasty again.

But Liu Fa just looked at him very coldly from beginning to end, and there was even a strange look in his eyes, which seemed to be pity and sympathy, this kind of gaze made the seed master very uncomfortable, and he finally became a little angry, not only for this gaze, but also for the obsession of his old friend, he couldn't help but stand up and shouted at Liu Fa excitedly, "Brother Liu, what are you for?" What did the Liangshan Bandit give you? High-ranking officials? Or is it glory and wealth? Is that all that important? It's worth your late life and giving up your life-and-death struggle for a lifetime of heroic fame?! ”

Liu Fa just stood up, walked out across the Seed Master Road, and said as he walked, "Brother Seed, please pay attention to your words, I am not a thief, but the Great Song Domain, a member of the 30,000 Great Song Domain Army who are fighting side by side with you these days. You ask me what I got in the Heavenly Dao Army, well, I tell you, all I got was two words, dignity! Okay, it's not too early, brother plant, please go back! ”

"...... dignity?" Seed Master Dao raised his head and looked at the palace hall that was gradually approaching in front of him, and couldn't help but whisper a few times,

"You don't walk long!" Suddenly, a shrill voice woke up the planter, he stopped and looked at the sound, only to see a eunuch pointing at a person with an angry face,

I don't know who the eunuch is, but he knows that the person who was scolded knows that it is a general of the Yongxing Army, named Huang Xingye, who is extremely brave in this battle, and one night led a thousand cavalry to attack the Xia army's grain camp, burning a large number of grain and grass of the Xia army, and a thousand cavalry finally escaped back to less than 200 cavalry, and this time he was also called to Beijing to accept the reward.

Just looking at the eunuch's angry face, and Huang Xingye's panicked face, didn't what happened just now?

When the seed master Daozheng was puzzled, an unexpected scene suddenly happened, only to see a person suddenly rushing out from the side of the eunuch and giving Huang Xingye a slap with his hand, and then shouted at Huang Xingye, who was beaten, "Look at it!" Where did you come from, do you know who you just hit again?! Don't hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to Grandpa Liang! ”

The cultivator Dao suddenly became angry in his heart, how could the soldiers who fought bloodily for the country suffer such a great shame? ! But he just wanted to move, but was pulled by a hand, and the planter turned his head to look, only to see that the one who grabbed him turned out to be a big fold.

Zhi Keda shook his head towards the Seed Master Dao, and said in a low voice, "I recognize that person, it's Liang ...... Hidden godson, Liang Chen. ”

Only then did the master suddenly realize that the hidden appearance was Liang Shicheng, his godson Liang Chen?! I have heard of this person when I was outside the palace these days, it is said that this person because his surname is also Liang, and after entering the palace, he was accepted by Liang Shicheng as his godson.

Seed Master Dao turned his head again, only to see Huang Xingye stunned on the spot with a flushed face, looking at this side in panic and helplessly, don't look at him as a brave general on the battlefield, but he entered the palace for the first time, he was already very frightened, and now he was bullied by the palace people, even if he was full of anger, he didn't dare to send it out at will, and he didn't want to really kneel down and suffer this humiliation, so he could only be stunned on the spot and hope that a few bosses here would come to relieve him.

But to his disappointment, these comrades and superiors who were able to live and die together on the battlefield at the beginning are now just bowing their heads and not daring to say anything.

The seed master gritted his teeth, broke free of his big hand and walked closer in a few steps towards Liang Chen, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law Liang, please stop being angry, he entered the palace for the first time, and the country wild man was ignorant and offended his father-in-law, please forgive him this time." ”

Liang Chen squinted his eyes and looked up and down at the Seed Master, and said in a strange manner, "Huh? Who are you? ”

Seed Master Dao continued to smile and said, "In Xi'an Zhizhou, Seed Master Dao." ”

"Oh......!" Liang Chen squinted at the Seed Master Dao and sneered, "It turned out to be Lord Zhizhou, our family is reasonable, but the first time I entered the palace, I also had long eyes, the palace is so big, why did he just hit our family?" This is clearly deliberate, and our body is still in pain. ”

Seeing that he didn't give face, the seed master couldn't help but say in a hurry, "Father-in-law, the saint can wait to summon me, ......what do you think?" ”

Unexpectedly, if you don't say this, as soon as you say it, Liang Chen's face changed suddenly,

"Yo~! Take the emperor to press our family? We're so scared! Xiao Lizi, let's go, let's go back, if the emperor asks why the tea hasn't been delivered later, you remember to ask my godfather to appeal to the emperor, saying that I was injured, which delayed the saint's tea. ”

After saying that, Liang Chen snorted coldly towards the planter, flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
