Song Zheng touched the top of his head, his face instantly turned cold, and he slowly stretched out a finger, "Wait a while, I will cut off the thumb of your right hand, and I will say that I will be reborn - the latest chapter of self-improvement of abandoned women." ”

The man's face immediately turned red. For an archer, the loss of his right thumb means that he can no longer use a bow. The rest of the men couldn't help but come forward and surround them, looking at Song Zheng angrily.

"What a big breath! Surrounded by a heavy siege, you can still speak with such a big breath, I really don't know, where do you have the confidence? Jiang Kui said lightly.

"My confidence naturally comes from you." Song Zheng suddenly smiled again, "Back then, I was a soldier under the adult, so the adult wouldn't treat the old subordinate like this?" ”

Jiang Kui was stunned and said playfully, "What? Do you really think I dare not do it? These few of my men are no better than those of the temple guards. This is not Daxing Town, and if you still want to escape like before, you are wrong. ”

Song Zheng smiled, "Okay, Lord Jiang, don't you think this kind of temptation is too pediatric?" I don't have much time, so let's get down to business. ”

Jiang Kui stared at Song Zheng's face, and after taking a closer look, he also smiled, "It is said that Song Xiaolang is extremely smart, and it is true." Come in and have a cup of tea, I'm about to make a deal with you!" ”

"That's right!" Song Zheng pulled away from the crowd, stepped into the house, and sat down opposite Jiang Kui.

Jiang Kui waved his hand, and the strong man guarding the door closed the door, and there were only Jiang and Song in the room for an instant. Jiang Kui personally poured a cup of tea for Song Zheng, "Taste it, this is Mao Feng from Huizhou in Great Qi, and the taste is better than that of Longjing before the rain." ”

"Huangshan Maofeng? Good tea indeed. Song Zheng glanced at the pale green tea soup, and then raised his nose to smell the fragrance of tea, "It seems that adults still have a lot of nostalgia for Daqi." Having said that, Song Zheng didn't bring the teacup.

Jiang Kui didn't care, and said lightly, "I've been in Daqi for more than ten years, and to say that I don't remember it at all is to deceive myself." ”

Song Zheng smiled softly, "Speaking of which, I still admire adults." Whether in Qi or Shu, they can rise and get a high position. It's just that I don't know anything about it, so I have to ask an adult for advice. ”

"I don't know which one you are talking about?"

"On that day in Jiangning, the lord was in the position of the deputy capital commander of the Imperial City Division, and he was valued by the prince, and he was still above the deputy capital of Duan. Why did you come to this Shu country? Although Chengdu Mansion is prosperous, it is still a few points short of Jinling. Then again, since the adults came to Shu and should be cautious as officials, why did they get involved with Lang Boyan and do such a rebellious thing? ”

"Since Song Xiaolang is so smart, it's better to guess." Jiang Kui took a sip of tea and looked at Song Zheng with a smile.

"I can't guess this, if it's in the position of an adult, there's really no reason to rebel." Song Zheng looked directly at Jiang Kui's face. To be honest, he couldn't figure out why Jiang Kui was so blind.

Jiang Kui stood up and pointed to a picture hanging in the main hall, "Song Zheng, what do you think this is?" ”

Song Zheng had been paying attention to Jiang Kui, but he hadn't paid attention to what was hanging on the main hall. Now when I look up, I find that it is a "map of the whole territory of Shu", and above the map, there is a painting of Hanzhong, which is also included in the territory of Shu. The painting here is different from the one below, and at first glance it is a new addition.

After taking a closer look, Song Zhengfang found the difference: the states and counties around Chengdu Mansion are the lightest in color, and they are also the most turbid and unique dance forests. After that, the color gradually became clearer, until the newly painted land of Hanzhong, the color is the most obvious.

After staring at it for a while, Song Zheng gradually realized, "When I heard about the former Song Dynasty, Shu was divided into four roads, which were Chengdu Fu Road, Zizhou Road, Kuizhou Road, and Lizhou Road in the north. Looking at the colors on this map, it is not a one-time drawing. Chengdu Fu Road is the oldest painted age, and in the following years, Zizhou Road, Lizhou Road, and then Kuizhou Road were painted in turn. Now the land of Hanzhong has just been drawn. ”

Jiang Kui slapped his hands and smiled, "Sure enough, it is worthy of Song Xiaolang, who can find clues in the subtleties." ”

"What's the difference? What is the purpose of the adult asking me to look at this picture? ”

Jiang Kui stepped forward and gently groped for the map, looking extremely nostalgic, which made Song Zheng even more puzzled.

"In the fifth year of Xuanhe of the former Song Dynasty, Lang Yucheng was transferred from Bianliang, Tokyo to Chengdu Fulu and served as the commander of the capital. In the sixth year of Xuanhe, the commander of the Forbidden Army's guards and infantry, Yuhou Xia Ze, was transferred to the deputy commander of Chengdu Fuludu. The following year, the Jin soldiers invaded south. Another two years, that is, the change of Jingkang, the former Song Dynasty extinction. At that time, the heroes were all around, wanting to chase the Central Plains. The same is true of Shudi. The former Song generals stationed in Shu and the local heroes, each group of soldiers, mixed into a group. ”

Song Zheng also knew a little about the history of Shu that Jiang Kui talked about, but it was not clear why Jiang Kui would talk about it, so he had to wait for him to talk about it slowly.

At that time, Lang Yucheng and Xia Ze were about brothers, working together to conspire with great things. Lang Yucheng sat in Chengdu Mansion and was responsible for preparing grain and grass and transporting all over the country, while Xia Ze led the troops to fight bloody battles everywhere. Two years and Delizhou Road, another year to Zizhou Road, and another three years to get Kuizhou Road, thus laying the territory of Shu. In the seven years of war, Xia Ze took the risk of soldiers many times, went into battle and killed, and was wounded in 38 places. The most dangerous one was during the conquest of Lizhou Road. At that time, all the heroes of Shu joined forces, and when Xia Ze was in Lizhou, they joined forces to the west, and the troops came to Chengdu Mansion, and Lang Yucheng was only destroyed in a moment. After Xia Ze heard the news, he led more than 1,000 iron horsemen to return to the aid of Jiangyou Starry Night. Kankan arrived at the time of the city's destruction. Taking advantage of the enemy's full strength to attack the city, he struck from behind, attacked and killed the big tent of the commander of the Chinese army, and beheaded 17 people. As a result, the enemy army was in chaos, scattered and fled, and Chengdu Mansion was saved. ”

Speaking of this history, Jiang Kui's voice became higher and higher, full of remembrance. Song Zheng's brows moved slightly, as if he had grasped something.

Jiang Kui is still immersed in that period of history, "Yes, Xia Ze was hit by three arrows, three knives and one shot, a total of one arrow, and shot through his cheeks, the arrow was on the left side of the face, and the arrow feather was on the right face. Xia Ze broke the cluster of arrows, and Judas cried endlessly, and his bravery frightened the enemy. After this battle, the name of Xia Ze spread all over Shuzhong. When the defenders heard the name of Xia Ze, they all fled in despair. Shu is settled! ”

Song Zheng sighed, "I have heard the name of Xia Ze. I heard that there is a tomb of King Xia in the northwest of Chengdu, and hundreds of lives are endless. Xia Ze is known as the blood-faced general, and he is famous. It's just that on the eve of Lang Yucheng becoming emperor, Xia Ze died early due to an old illness. The youngest son he left behind died young, and a daughter was too sad and went away with her father. A generation of famous generals, there is no queen, it is really regrettable. ”

"What do you know!" Jiang Kui suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly, startling Song Zheng.

Jiang Kui looked at Song Zheng directly, "Do you know that Xia Ze did not die of illness, but was poisoned!" ”

"Poisoned?" Song Zheng was stunned.

Jiang Kui snorted coldly, "Although Xia Ze had an old illness back then, it was not fatal. It was Lang Yucheng who saw that Xia Ze's prestige in the army was too high, so he designed to let people treat him with mercury. After Xia Ze pacified Kuizhou, he returned to Chengdu for a few months, and then died of poison. ”

Song Zheng gasped, if this is the case, Lang Yucheng is really a ruthless character. Xia Ze was able to risk his life to save him, that was really a brother of life and death, and he actually managed to do it. However, this is not uncommon. Why did Han Gaozu build the foundation of the Liu family and wantonly kill the heroes, isn't it the same?

"In this way, Xia Ze is the Han Xin of this Shu Kingdom. It's just that how did Master Jiang know such news? Song Zheng also guessed a few points, but couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Kui snorted again, "Before Xia Ze came to Shu from Tokyo, he already had a son and a daughter, and his son Xia Zhun was weak and did not go to Chengdu Mansion with him, but stayed in Bianliang and was adopted by Xia Ze's parents, and Xia Ze only took his daughter and family to Chengdu. Later, the gold thieves invaded the south, Bianliang fell, and Xia Ze lost the news of Xia Zhun, thinking that he had already died in the war. In fact, Xia Zhun did not die of illness, but fled south to Huizhou, living at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. ”

Song Zheng looked at Huangshan Maofeng on the table and seemed to understand something.

Jiang Kui continued, "At the age of nineteen, Xia Zhun married a wife and had children. It was at this time that he got the news of his father Xia Ze, so he traveled thousands of miles alone and spent more than a year to rush to Chengdu Mansion. It's a pity that when he arrived, Xia Ze was already terminally ill and blind, and his days were numbered. At that time, Xia Ze already knew Lang Yucheng's wolf ambitions, and he would kill himself as soon as possible, but he was powerless. In order to protect Xia Zhun, Xia Ze never recognized him, but arranged for a henchman named Jiang Zhen to send him out of Chengdu. And then you can also guess what happened, five months after Lang Yucheng poisoned Xia Ze, Xia Ze's four-year-old son fell into a well and died while playing, and after a few years, his daughter also died of a sudden illness. ”

At this point, Song Zheng already knew it, and asked in a low voice, "So, the adult's real surname is Xia?" ”

Jiang Kui smiled bitterly, "After Xia Zhun and Jiang Zhen returned to Daqi, they sighed all night, hating to avenge their father. Three years later, Xia Zhun passed away. Only one young son, Xia Cheng, was left. The loyal servant Jiang Zhen assisted the master mother, raised Xia Cheng as an adult, taught him martial arts, and wanted to have a plan. However, in the second year of Qi Taizong, Xia Jing was conscripted into the army, and died in Yangqiao Town at the mouth of the Yellow River when the Jin soldiers invaded the south. Xia Jing left two sons, named Xia Kui and Xia Da, which are today's Jiang Kui and Jiang Da. You're right, my real surname is indeed Xia. ”

Song Zheng sighed after hearing this. This Jiang Kui's family is also tragic enough, Xia Ze was poisoned, Xia Zhun died of illness at a young age, Xia Cheng died in the army, and when it comes to the fourth generation of Jiang Kui, I am afraid it will also be a bad ending.

Jiang Kui let out a long breath, "The loyal servant Jiang Zhen was afraid that my two brothers would follow in my father's footsteps, so when I was fifteen years old, he sent me to Shu Kingdom, lied about me as Jiang Kui, and took advantage of the only remaining old relationship to send me to the palace guard. Later, I was sent to Daqi and became a henchman of Xiao Hui. My brother also went to Jiangning, changed his name to Jiang Da, and worked with me. ”

Song Zheng nodded, and after a slight turn of his mind, he sighed, "Speaking of which, Lord Jiang is also a person from Daqi, and he was the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department that day, which can be regarded as a high authority. Why are you still stuck to the old hatred of your ancestors and disturb the political situation in Qi and Shu? ”

Jiang Kui laughed coldly, "The rivers and mountains of this Shu country were originally brought down by the ancestors. How can the Lang family be able to pass it down to this day? Don't you hear that 'princes and generals would rather have a kind'? ”
