Yuan Mingde thanked Gao Hongyi, "General, the old man has lived for sixty years, and he has seen the prosperity of the Jin Kingdom and the weakening of the Song Kingdom along the way, and finally fled to Beihu for a long time.

The reason why the old man has been living in the world is because of the three of them. In order to raise them to adulthood and achieve a career, they are content even though they are dead.

Originally, the old man fled to Beihu, and he thought about trying to send them to the Song Kingdom to go their own way. Unexpectedly, the gate of the Song Kingdom was closed, and we were not welcome as a remnant, and the old heart was cold, and the heart of trying to send them to serve the Song Kingdom was also cold.

The old man was disheartened, and only wanted to raise them, and he didn't dare to ask for anything else. However, I didn't expect that God would open his eyes and get the general to know and share his worries for the general, which was really beyond the expectations of the old man.

Later, the general also treated my son with courtesy, not only to seal the official but also to take care of him, and the old man couldn't say how grateful he was.

At the same time, the old decay also sees new hope!

General, you may know that most of the Song people in the northwest and the two protectors were forced to migrate from the interior of the Jin Kingdom, they suffered too much suffering and anger in the Jin Kingdom, shed countless blood and tears, they urgently need to have a person of their own, a Ming Lord can stand up to protect them, and they hope that this Ming Lord can lead them to achieve a career.

And you are this master, although you are ordered by the Jin country, but you are different from the magnates of the Jin country, you are a Song person. Although you are still young, you can see that you have great ambitions, boldness, big minds, and great futures! Great talent! As long as you raise your arms and shout, our remnants of the Great Song Dynasty will flock to support you. Therefore, I hope that you can gather them, help them, and help us, the homeless remnants of the Great Song Dynasty.

General, you don't have to promise me now, I just hope that the general can remember this. ”

Gao Hongyi nodded heavily.

Yuan Mingde smiled happily, but his pale face looked very scary, and he continued, "Old man is not a saint, there is another private matter for you to ask the general to come this time, and that is my three children. Yizhi was reused by the general, and the old man didn't worry about anything, he just hoped that he could do his best, and the general would value it wholeheartedly.

What Lao Yu is most worried about is Hui'er and Yuyuki, Hui'er is not married yet, and Yuzhi is still young. After the old man died, he only hoped that the general would take care of them in many ways, and not let them be bullied, and the old man would be satisfied. ”

Yuan Mingde knelt down as he spoke, and Gao Hongyi hurriedly helped him up, "Mingde Gong, please get up, Hongyi promises you." Take good care of Hui'er and Yuyuki, and never let outsiders bully them. ”

"General Xie!" Yuan Mingde thanked Gao Hongyi, and then ignored the painful children, and slowly walked to the back room on crutches.

Yuan Haoqian wanted to help, but he said without looking back, "Let me be quiet alone!" ”

Gao Hongyi looked at his departing back, suddenly felt a little lonely, strode into the courtyard to breathe, looked at the dilapidated courtyard, and sighed in his heart.

He saw that it was getting late, and wanted to say goodbye and leave, but at this moment, he only heard a terrible scream, which shook the sky and caused the howling cold wind to be silent.

Tu Su came out of the house and said, "General, Yuan Mingde has returned to heaven sitting on a chair. ”

......

On the tenth day of the first month, Gao Hongyi led a group of subordinates to the Yuan family to pay respects, Yuan Mingde entered the earth for peace, and Qin Xi, who had learned a little funeral fur from Yuan Mingde, was responsible for handling all funeral matters.

Gao Hongyi originally wanted Yuan Haoqian and a few people to live in the City Lord's Mansion, which could be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Yuan Mingde and fulfilling his last wish. But seeing the sad and sad appearance of Yuan Haoqian and the others, he didn't mention it, thinking that it would not be too late to wait for Yuan Mingde's first seven days.

A few days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, it is a good time to enjoy the lanterns, and the wild goose mud that has been basically good begged Gao Hongyi to come out to see the lantern festival, Gao Hongyi saw that everyone's interest was very high, and his mood was very low recently because of Yuan Mingde's death, so he decided to accompany everyone to come out and see, just to relax.

Cheng also came out accompanied by his daughter Gao Wenjiang, who seemed to be in good spirits, but seemed to be a little timid, as if he was afraid of something. Gao Hongyi saw it, she was afraid of her own gaze, she was avoiding herself, trying not to let herself pay attention to her.

Since this is the case with the Cheng family, Gao Hongyi no longer pays attention to her, and simply treats her as if she does not exist.

Gao Hongyi and Yan Ni were walking on the street, looking at all kinds of lanterns, they were a lot curious, and for a while they seemed to have returned to their childhood and found childlike fun.

Yan Ni was very interested, and when she saw every novel thing, she had to go to see it, enjoy it, and Gao Hongyi was also happy to accompany her.

It's just that he hasn't had enough fun before he gets stuck in things.

And the matter is not small, he was afraid that he would sweep away the joy of the wild goose mud, so he ordered the maid to take care of the wild goose mud, and then left quickly.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Hongyi ordered Mr. Li and Guo Shi to come over.

Li Zhong, the deputy general of the Heavenly Wolf Army, walked around the council hall with a anxious face, and when he saw Gao Hongyi, Li Xian and others coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "General, Mr. Li, the cavalry of the Western Xia Kingdom has suddenly entered our territory, and it is almost to White Horse City. ”

Gao Hongyi strode to the main seat, didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked, "What did you say just now, say it again." ”

Li Zhong repeated it again, Gao Hongyi heard it clearly at this time, he stared at Li Zhong with angry eyes, and scolded, "It's almost time to White Horse City, you just reported it to me, what did you do before!" ”

Li Zhong replied helplessly, "I thought it was just a small group of cavalry, but I thought it might be passing by and ignored it." And everyone is not happy to celebrate the New Year, for fear of disturbing everyone's interest, so I didn't tell you. ”

Gao Hongyi snorted dissatisfiedly, "Urgent military situation, dare to conceal it!" Who gave you the guts! ”

Gao Hong sat there in contemplation with resolute determination, Li Xian handed him the tea, asked him to dissipate his anger, and then asked seriously: "Li Zhong tell me what is going on!" How many people are there and where they are so far. ”

Li Zhong replied, "According to the scout, there are about 5,000 cavalry from the Western Xia Kingdom, and there is still a day's journey to the front of White Horse City. ”

At this time, the commander of Chen Xuan, the city lord of White Horse City, also sent an urgent military situation, and Li Xian opened it to see that it was no different from what Li Zhong said. "Yi'er, it seems to be true."

"One more day, five thousand cavalry!" Gao Hongyi muttered to himself, pondered for a long time and said, "Guo Shi! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"You immediately gather the White Horse Battalion to rush to the aid of White Horse City, and strangle the cavalry of the Western Xia Kingdom with all your might, and the order will be done immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

Guo Shi was about to go out to prepare, but was stopped by Li Xian, "General, slow down!" ”
