Yu Qing drank the ginseng soup, Zhao Kuangyan did not ask Xiang Boy to go down to ask if the chicken soup was ready, but went downstairs to check it himself, the store had already stewed the chicken soup, and he took a night of steaming chicken soup up, and there was a large piece of chicken blood and a chicken leg in it.

Zhao Kuangyan came to Yu Qing's room with chicken soup and put the chicken soup on the table next to Yu Qing's bed. Xiang Boy leaned over and sniffed it, and said, "Well, it's so fragrant!" As he spoke, he reached for the mouth-watering chicken thigh.

Zhao Kuangyan slapped Xiang Boy'er's hand and said, "This is for Brother Yu, if you want to go to Sheng yourself." ”

Xiang Zi'er pouted and said, "Sister, brother, you are just eccentric, they all say that your arms turn in, I see that your arms are turned out!" Am I still your own brother? ”

Yu Qing looked at the two living treasures, and said with a slight smile: "Xiang boy, you can eat the chicken legs, I'll drink some chicken soup before eating!" ”

Xiang Boy said: "Look, Brother Yu is still good to me!" As he spoke, he grabbed the chicken leg and feasted on it.

Zhao Kuangyan shook his head helplessly.

Yu Qing said: "Kuang Yan, you can eat some too, you have worked hard these days!" ”

Yu Qing drank the chicken soup and ate another piece of chicken blood, and suddenly felt much better. Xiang Zi'er asked, "Brother Yu, why did you pass out in the snow?" Did you fight with those gangsters and suffer a loss? ”

Xiang Boy'er's question pulled Yu Qing back to the tragic scene of the slaughter of the city in Zhenzhou, and couldn't help frowning, with a painful expression on his face, he glanced at Xiang Child, and then at Zhao Kuangyan, and stopped talking.

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Brother Yu, if you don't want to say it, don't talk about it, I have also heard the shopkeeper say about the slaughter of the city in Zhenzhou, alas! No matter what crime they have committed, since they have already disarmed and surrendered, why should they still kill the killer and leave no one behind? Those are all living beings! ”

At this time, there was a cry on the street outside, Yu Qing slowly walked to the window, pushed open the window, and saw a white expanse outside, and after three days of sleep, it was already snowy outside. Zhao Kuangyan and Xiang Boy also squeezed over to see, only to see a group of people on the street carrying a coffin, wearing filial piety clothes, crying while walking, there was no snow at this time, the money paper flying all over the sky was like heavy snow, flying in the cold wind, overwhelming, and the funeral procession was one or two hundred people.

The cold wind was whistling outside, cold and biting, a piece of paper money was blown by the wind and stuck to Yu Qing's face, he couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly ripped off the paper money and closed the window.

At this time, the shopkeeper came up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Zhao Kuangyan asked: "Little second brother, whose old man has passed away, so many filial sons and grandsons?" ”

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Alas! It's miserable! This is the coffin of An Chongrong An Daren, the court killed him not to say, but also beheaded his family, what is even worse is that the emperor cut off the head of An Daren in order to please the Khitans, and asked the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang to take credit. The common people thought of the good of Lord An, and as soon as the imperial army left, they spontaneously went to collect his body and send him for a funeral, but it is a pity that Lord An loves the people like a son, and he is famous for a lifetime, but in the end he ended up dead without a corpse, alas! What is the principle of heaven? ”

When Yu Qing heard this, his heart tightened, he was dizzy, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. Xiang Boy hurriedly held him up.

Zhao Kuangyan asked in surprise: "Little second brother, aren't you afraid that the wall has ears when you say this?" ”

The shopkeeper said disapprerovingly: "It's a big deal to kill the head, what's the big deal?" Speaking of which, Lord An is kind to the little one! I'm done here, and I'm going to the funeral. After saying that, he hurriedly packed up and went downstairs.

Yu Qingyi sat on the chair and said in a daze: "Am I really wrong to blame the good people?" ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Brother Yu, why do you blame yourself, then An Chongrong was not killed by you, rebellion is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, and it is also common sense to become a king and defeat a king." ”

Yu Qing said: "Brother Zhao, you don't know! ”

Zhao Kuangyan's eyes widened and looked at Yu Qingdao in surprise: "It can't really be that you killed him!" I've heard that Lord An was killed by Lord Du Chongwei. ”

Yu Qing said: "I don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of me!" Lord An was not killed by me, but I killed him, if it weren't for me, he could have broken out of the encirclement, and with his martial arts, even if he couldn't retreat, at least he could save his life. Then he told Zhao Kuangyan and Xiang Boy everything that happened in Zhenzhou City.

Xiang Boy said: "When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back." Although Lord Na'an died a heroic death, he also deserved it for killing those innocent villagers in Chenjia Village, which called the good to be rewarded with good, and evil to be rewarded, not to be repaid, the time has not yet come! ”

Zhao Kuangyan also said: "Yes! Brother Yu, Xiang Boy is right, you don't have to blame yourself too much. ”

Yu Qing listened to it and felt that it was too, and the guilt in his heart was reduced a lot.

Zhao Kuangyan continued: "Brother Yu, I heard that the imperial court is searching for and arresting the rebellious parties involved in An Chongrong's rebellion, the two roads to the east and south have been blocked, and the north is a bitter cold land, the Khitan people are fierce and arrogant, let's go west to Taiyuan, maybe the proclamation of my arrest has expired, you have a good rest today, recuperate your body, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

In the evening, the second junior of the shop came to deliver hot water, and Zhao Kuangyan asked him again: "Little second brother, will you come back when you go to the funeral?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "I just came back for a while, alas! It's really not long-sighted, such a good adult, so if you don't say it, there will be no more? And he began to cry as he spoke.

Yu Qing asked, "You are crying so sadly, is Lord An your relative?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Lord An and the villain are not related, they are indeed small life-saving benefactors!" Last year, the Khitan dog came to fight the grass valley and captured the little one, it was Lord An who led people to kill those Khitan dogs and rescued the villain, although Lord An did not know the villain, but how dare the villain forget his great kindness to the old man! Then he burst into tears.

Yu Qing and the three comforted the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper stopped crying and retreated. And Yu Qing and the three of them were silent and speechless.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Kuangyan got up, pushed open the window and saw that it was snowing heavily, it was really inconvenient to travel in this weather, and Yu Qing's physical condition was not very ideal, so he decided to stay for two or three days this time, and it was more convenient to rent a carriage to go back and forth to Taiyuan. So, I renewed the lease at the inn for another three days.

......

Chengde Mansion, Du Chongwei camp.

"The Divine Decree has arrived! The guards and the pro-army are all commanding Du Chongwei to take the order! I saw a man who looked like a minister carrying the holy decree, and he was announcing the decree in a shrill voice.

Du Chongwei led the military generals and knelt on the snow: "Du Chongwei takes the order!" Greetings to St. Ann! ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:

Cheng Dejun did not think about the emperor's grace, committed chaos, and was annihilated by our Holy Dynasty Heavenly Monarch. Abolish the formation of the German army and make it more obedient to the national army; Zhenzhou, the land of bandits, the nest of thieves, is now removed from the list, and it is more Hengzhou; The guards and pro-army all commanded Du Chongwei to quell the rebellion, and promoted the Shunguo army to make the envoy, rewarding 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver. ”

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Du Chongwei took the holy decree and said to the person who announced it: "Grandpa Zhang, please come inside!" Father-in-law saddle horse tired, thousands of miles away to escort the holy decree, hard work! Chongwei entrusted the emperor with great blessings, and he had to punish the thief, but he really didn't dare to take the risk. There is a father-in-law who asks the emperor about the holy body of Jin'an, and he prepares a thin wine with great authority, which is not a tribute, and he asks his father-in-law not to dislike it! ”

Father-in-law Zhang said: "Lord Du, please!" ”

When he came to the banquet, Du Chongwei gave Gonggong Zhang a glass of wine, and the people who sat with him were Du Chongwei's henchmen, and Ouyang Que was also among them.

Gonggong Zhang picked up his wine glass and said, "Kill the traitors, it's hard work, Zhang respects everyone!" ”

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you Grandpa Zhang!" ”

Gonggong Zhang looked at Ouyang Que and said, "I heard that in the process of quelling the rebellion, Mr. Ouyang made a great contribution and personally killed Na'an Chongrong!" ”

Ouyang Que said with a smile: "Thanks to my father-in-law's love, it is all the emperor's wisdom and Lord Du's decision, the old man is just running errands and making contributions." ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, I only heard Du Chongwei clap his hands twice and shouted loudly: "Lift it up!" ”

I saw four sergeants carrying two large boxes, one red and one black, into the hall and placed them in front of Gonggong Zhang.

Gonggong Zhang asked in surprise: "Du Dagen, what is this?" ”

Du Chongwei said: "Father-in-law Zhang, this is the spoils captured by Chongwei, Chongwei does not dare to dispose of it privately, this red box also asks the father-in-law to pay tribute to the emperor on his behalf, as for this black box, please ask the father-in-law to dispose of it on his behalf!" ”

Du Chongwei knew that Gonggong Zhang was a popular person around the emperor, so he naturally did not dare to slack off.

Gonggong Zhang nodded and motioned to carry it down to load the car, and then looked at the people present.

Du Chongwei understood, and with a wave of his hand, Ouyang Que and the others got up and left the table.

Father-in-law Zhang said, "Mr. Ouyang, please take a seat!" ”

Ouyang Que returned to his seat.

Gonggong Zhang said: "The emperor heard that this time to kill An Chongrong, all of them were assisted by a young chivalrous warrior named Yu Qing, I don't know if it is true?" ”

Ouyang Que's face was blue and purple, and he said with a sigh: "This ...... This ...... "He once boasted in front of the emperor that as long as he made a move as a Qinghai monster, he would definitely be able to win An Chongrong's head, but he almost died in the hands of An Chongrong in the first encounter, if it weren't for Zhao Yan's rebellion in front of the array, An Chongrong was in chaos, and he Ouyang Que would have become An Chongrong's whip ghost. Therefore, when Zhang Gonggong asked about this, he felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Du Chongwei knew that the emperor must have planted eyeliner in the army, so he could only tell the truth and said: "Don't hide it from your father-in-law, there is indeed such a thing!" ”

Gonggong Zhang said: "The emperor's secret decree, if this person can be used by me, it is certainly a good thing, if it can't be used by me, then (made a killing gesture)!" to prevent future troubles. ”

Ouyang Que said: "Okay, this matter is on me!" ”

Father-in-law Zhang said: "That! The emperor and his old man are relieved! The old slave will leave! ”

On this day, the sky finally cleared, the sun was shining, and the reflection of the sun on the snow was extremely dazzling, making people unable to open their eyes.

Yu Qing recuperated for three days, and under Zhao Kuangyan's careful care, his body has basically recovered. The air is exceptionally fresh after the snow, and although the cold has not subsided, the clear sky can also make people feel refreshed and refreshed.

Last night, Zhao Kuangyan had already negotiated the price with the coachman, and rented a carriage for fifty taels of silver to send them to Taiyuan.

The three of them settled the bill and came out of the inn, and the coachman was already waiting at the door early. Seeing that the guests had arrived, the coachman helped them into the carriage one by one, only to listen to the "Drive!" With a thud, the horse scurried forward, leaving two deep ruts in the snow.

When they came to the city gate, they saw a team of heavily armed soldiers checking passers-by, and when they saw Yu Qing's carriage coming, a captain came over and asked the groom, "Who is sitting in the car?" ”

The groom handed over a tael of silver and said, "Official, the little one is in a hurry and doesn't dare to delay, and I hope that the official will make it convenient!" ”

The lieutenant blocked the groom's hand with the back of his hand, did not accept his money, opened the curtain of the carriage with his scabbard, saw Yu Qing, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "Yo! Isn't this Yu Shaoxia? Where is this going? ”

Yu Qing didn't know him, but he thought that it must be someone from Du Chongwei's side, and he must have seen him on the night of the siege, but he didn't know him, so he asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

The lieutenant smiled and said, "Yu Shaoxia, don't you know me?" You took a pike dart from my hand that day......"

"Oh! Remember, it turns out that the military master is the guard next to Master Du! ”

"Exactly! Precisely! Yu Shaoxia's martial arts are world-famous, and I am deeply admired in the next, I dare not call me a master in front of Shaoxia, my surname is Wang, my name is Wang Qing, a few years older than you, you can call me Brother Wang! ”

Zhao Kuangyan said: "It's very good, one of you is called Yu Qing and the other is called Wang Qing, but it is quite fate!" Since we are acquaintances, then don't get in our way, and let us go out of the city quickly. ”

Wang Qing said: "This little brother, this is absolutely unacceptable, Wang is waiting for Shaoxia here on the order of Lord Du." Lord Du said that Yu Shaoxia assisted the court to quell the rebellion and was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, but Lord Du took over as the envoy of the Shunguo Army, and he was entangled in military affairs, so he really couldn't get away. ”

Yu Qing said: "That's not necessary, please ask Brother Wang to thank Master Du for his kindness for me, Du Mansion, I won't go, we have to hurry to Taiyuan." With that, let the coachman continue walking.

Wang Qing hurriedly grabbed the horse's bridle and said, "Yu Shaoxia, this is embarrassing for me, if I can't get you, I can't pay a difference with Master Du!" Please also ask Yu Shaoxia to complete.
