Although the sound of the night rain was loud, Zhang Qingniu, who was carrying Liu Zhi down the mountain, did not ignore the sound of flying stones breaking through the air behind him; It's just that he knows very well in his heart that now that Bai Heng and Song Xingzhou have both fallen, then he Shen Gui is the peak of martial arts in the Huayu Continent. If he really moved the murderous intent at this time, even if he practiced for another hundred years, he would still be just fish on the chopping board after all.

In an instant, two pieces of gravel hit the target accurately. only heard a crisp sound of "click", and Liu Zhi's lumbar vertebrae were completely shattered by a round stone; Another flat piece of gravel shaved off the bun on top of his head......

After defusing the huge impact, Zhang Qingniu felt the helpless tremor of his nephew on his back, but he stopped slightly, but did not look back; After a long time, he let out a long sigh and continued to carry the waste man Liu Zhi on his back, and slowly walked down the mountain......

Since then, there has been an additional fourth-generation disciple of the Xuanzi generation on Xuanyue Mountain, who is a dumb paralyzed. This person is a little withdrawn, living in the Xuanjing Pavilion all the year round, and there is a special person to serve him every day, and he also climbs up and down by relying on the hanging basket on weekdays to get the scriptures. At this point, before the feather and ascension, all the Taoist classics in the Xuanjing Pavilion were re-annotated and sorted, and a Changchun Gongfa compiled and annotated by himself was left.

When the disciples of the later generations of Xuanmen cleaned their bodies and changed their clothes and arranged for their funeral, they saw this dumb and paralyzed Xuanyu Master and Ancestor, with white and delicate skin around him, and a childish appearance without showing his old age; The root of the crotch is also like a newborn baby......

After Zhang Qingniu and Liu Zhi went down the mountain, Shen Gui also carried his rain-soaked hair in a bun and walked towards the village inn sullenly. With the light faintly emanating from the main hall of the inn, Shen Gui saw that Lao Lu Zhutou, who had lost his beloved son, was standing in the rain curtain, looking forward to the direction he had entered the forest......

Shen Gui held back his mind, forced a smile, and raised the bun in his hand at him; As soon as Lao Lu Zhutou saw this thing, his heart was relieved, and he fell to the ground like a dead tree......

When I woke up again, it was already dawn the next day. Lao Lu Zhutou opened his eyes, looked at Shen Gui who was sleeping with his clothes on the side of the bed, and the strand of hair on the table, and couldn't help but choke silently with sadness......

Because Lao Lu Zhutou has a serious official body, the shopkeeper of this inn can't afford to provoke him; But after such a horrific murder, he really didn't dare to stay. He took the two young men who were also scared to pee their pants, and ran away without a trace; At present, there is only Lao Lu and Shen Gui left in a huge inn.

Lao Lu was afraid of waking up Shen Gui, so he endured it and didn't make a sound of crying; But the sound brought out by the action still did not hide Shen Gui's keen perception. He opened his eyelids and saw that Lao Lu, who was still awake, was crying completely uncontrollably, and he also sighed deeply and persuaded:

"Old catcher, the thief has been killed by my head, and his body has fallen down the cliff. The dead are gone, the living are like this, you still have to send your son back to your hometown, it's not good to be overly sad. Besides, to put it mildly, at your age, you can't stand the pain of lovesickness for a few years; It's better to live well, and it can also make Ling Lang feel at ease under the Nine Springs......"

Hearing Shen Gui's words, although Lao Lu's tears did not stop, his discouraged mind was relieved. Yes, I am not young anymore, even if I work hard, I don't have a few years to live. If he is looking for death and life at this time, and it is passed on to the ears of others, it will fall into the prestige of his Lu family. He was born with the body of a boy and ate a knife-headed meal; If you are loyal to the country, what is there that you can't think of!

"yes, yes...... This time, I relied on my son's righteous action to avenge my son Lu Fang's blood hatred, and I haven't asked my son's surname yet......"

"Wait, old man! ...... did you say that your son's name is ? ”

"Lu Fang, double-mouthed Lu, square square ......"

This name is not unfamiliar to Shen Gui, and the two did have a friendship in the past; He just didn't expect that on the day of their reunion after a long absence, the two brothers would be separated by yin and yang! For a while, he regretted a little in his heart, he shouldn't have let the murderer Liu Zhiyi die; But after carefully recalling Zhang Qingniu's words, the desire for happiness and revenge disappeared again......

After being silent for a long time, the thousands of entanglements in Shen Gui's heart finally turned into a sigh. He clenched Lao Lu's hands tightly, and there were faint tears in his eyes:

"Old man, Lu Fang is the righteous brother below......"

Lao Lu Zhutou suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Gui, who was also sad, and muddy tears rolled down......

After the two of them recovered their emotions as usual, Shen Gui borrowed the back kitchen of the inn to cook a pot of vegetable porridge, and half-forcibly fed Lao Lu Zhutou to drink a bowl.

"Old man, I wonder what you plan to do in the future?"

"Going to ...... What else is there to plan for? Since the imperial court prisoner has been knocked off the cliff by the virtuous nephew, the old man should also take ...... Took him back to Beijing on a business trip......"

"Hmm...... There is a beginning and an end. But according to the little nephew, the old man is not too young, so it's better to be like this. When you've handed over your errands and finished your errands, you'll go to Youbei to find ......."

"Virtuous nephews don't have to bother, the old decay won't go anywhere!"

Shen Gui was afraid that the old catcher would return home and see things and think about people, and he would not be able to get out of the predicament of losing his son; It's just that his attitude seems to be extremely resolute, and he is not easy to be strong......

"Hey...... Then since this is the case, I would like you to give Zhou Yuanqing a message. Let's just say that the best way to solve the Nankang problem is the word "wait." ”

"Well, I made a note of it. Virtuous nephew, where are you going? ”

"Chang'an, worship the ancestors of the family."

After the porridge was served, the heavy rain outside the inn finally stopped. An old and a young cherish each other, and they are separated. Shen Gui rode the beautiful little donkey, stepped on the ground of Sanjin, and went straight to the direction of Chang'an; And Lao Lu, who lost his beloved son, returned to Yanjing with two fast horses and a corpse.

It's a pity that Lao Lu Zhutou, who rejected Shen Gui's invitation, was not as strong as he imagined. Emperor Tianyou's rewards and commendations, and the warmth of his civil and military colleagues, did not let him escape the dilemma of seeing things and thinking about people. On the day when the Northern Yan Dynasty successfully pacified the north of the Huajiang River, Lao Lu Zhutou also quietly hanged himself on the beam of his house in the jubilant atmosphere of universal celebration and amnesty to the world......

The joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows of the little people will always look very pale in the face of the progress of the big generation......

At this moment, the original embarrassing situation of the Northern Yan Dynasty was immediately reversed after Zhu Yuntao's one-handed salary. Pang Qingshan, the commander of the Relief Army, although he successfully collected the remnants of the Qin army and strengthened his own military prestige; However, there were two fortified cities of Shimen and Yanjing in front of it, and Cai Ning and Xiang Qing in the back surrounded on three sides, and the army was facing a desperate situation.

In fact, the so-called desperate situation, for a strong team, may not only have a rout to follow. Throughout the ages, countless classic battles in which the weak defeated the strong and shocked the world, most of them took place when one side was cornered; The fight of trapped beasts, a near-death blow, often erupts with extremely amazing combat effectiveness; The method of encircling three and one is to psychologically give the opposing soldiers a relief and disintegration of their determination to fight to the death, so as to avoid their own excessive casualties.

It is fair to say that although the combat effectiveness of the Relief Army has long been despised by the people of the world; But that was also the regular army that the Nankang court spent a lot of gold and silver to support! And relying on the advantages of wealth and craftsmanship, whether it is weapons and equipment or logistics supplies, this army can be called the most of Huayu's soldiers in the past dynasties!

It's just that the people of the south have a rich living environment; Even the most ordinary children will go to a serious business and work as a miscellaneous apprentice; I will never let them eat this bowl of knife-headed rice stained with human blood! Only those orphans who have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground or the army will join the army for a bite to eat and a way to live.

The quality of the source of soldiers can be imagined.

In other words, if the army is surrounded on all sides today, it is all Qindi tiger wolves under Chen Ziling; If there is this batch of new ordnance of the Tianji Workshop as an auxiliary; So it is not impossible to fight against the water and fight Yanjing City in one go; But now it is the Nankang Relief Army that has been surrounded, or the "miscellaneous army" that has just been collected and mixed!

What's even more terrifying is that most of the Sanqin veterans are like mirrors about the causes and consequences of Chen Ziling's "death......

Therefore, these soft-spoken Qin soldiers and soldiers were all coerced by Shangguan when they were cornered, and all of them surrendered to the Nankang army; And the orthodox army under Pang Qingshan's command must also be vigilant at all times, in case the Qin soldiers will fight back at any time in order to avenge the commander. After all, the matter of forcing guests to suppress the host is never a fantasy talk!

Therefore, the current army of worry-relieving worries is in a delicate state of internal and external troubles and mutual suspicion; And these hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous cards, in addition to fleeing everywhere and consuming grain and grass, can not do anything meaningful to deal with it.

Zhou Chang'an was ordered to regain the land of Sanqin, and he could not return to Jizhou to command the battle; Therefore, Zuo Prime Minister Wang Fang returned to command and took over the command of the battlefield. Even when all the Northern Yan people were ready to annihilate the Nankang army in one fell swoop, he actually issued a meaningful order.

He divided the battlefield into the north of Zhongzhou, west of Ludong, south of Yanjing, and east of Sanjin; All the Northern Yan troops in the opposition slowly marched to the center point at the same time, step by step; As long as the enemy army is still within the Jizhou Plain, then everyone does not need to worry; Until the winter solstice comes, these hundreds of thousands of troops can be wiped out.

Cai Ning had no objection to this old plan, and quickly wrote to second; But when Xiang Qing received this order, he did not pay attention to Wang Fang's strategy of marching; He just repaired a book, presented Emperor Tianyou to the front, and asked the court to give him a statement for his father and son.

The next day, at the court meeting, Emperor Tianyou threw Xiang Qing's submission under the hall, his eyes were like ice blades, and he stabbed the prince Zhou Changyong. However, he did not reprimand the prince in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and he didn't even mention a word; He just made a sonorous promise to the Son of Heaven:

The imperial court will continue to dig deep into the case of Zhu Yuntao, and will not completely announce the end of this case because of the "murderous sword" that called Liu Zhi in the name of the law!
