After the first battle of Zhongshan, the defeat of the army has been transmitted back to Jinling City.

In the Guangzheng Palace, I only saw Li Congqing's gloomy face, as if everyone in this world owed him.

Li Congqing kicked over the table and roared: "Why did you lose the battle again this time, you told me, why is this?" Why did the enemy cross the Qinhuai River all at once and go to Zhongshan? ”

The important ministers in the palace were silent, and when the national situation was so important, the court lost the battle again, because everything was a loss of face for the court.

Li Congqing's sleeves and robes shook, and he said sharply: "Didn't you have a minister who said that Lu Yan was very brave in battle, how did he become a waste person as soon as he met Lin Renzhao, and he lost the battle, I think it was the fault of my imperial court generals, and someone came to behead Lu Yan's family." ”

Pan You said: "Your Majesty, although General Yan lost the battle, but the blame is not on his family, now that Yan Yan has been captured by the enemy, if Your Majesty kills on a large scale, then Yan Yan will be disheartened, and he will definitely take refuge in Lin Renzhao." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, you say what I should do, but Yu Yan lost the battle, didn't he make a military order in the army before, saying that he was going to behead Lin Renzhao, why is this a broken promise now, and if I don't punish him severely, don't the soldiers, the people look at the jokes of the court? Therefore, it is necessary to let the soldiers see the consequences of the military order and correct the morale of the army. Someone came, spread my will, Yu Yan was defeated, and his family was guilty, and the forbidden army immediately went to Yu Fu to arrest people and escorted them into Dali Temple. ”

Pan You said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty should take back your life." ”

"No-" Li Congqing did not listen to Pan You's persuasion, and still insisted on going his own way.

Pan You shook his head helplessly and sat back in his seat, it seemed that their new emperor did not listen to the advice of his subordinates.

The forbidden army has led the soldiers and horses to the city to catch people, the people on both sides of the street saw the forbidden army coming, immediately dodged and fled, each went home, in this era of war and chaos, the people are still very afraid of the soldiers.

The house is located in the south of the city, and it is also next to the underworld shop, and the warriors are not as particular about the choice of the house as the civil officials.

The door of the mansion was kicked open, and the forbidden army had already rushed in violently, and a team of forbidden troops rushed in, poked here, stabbed there, and put good things in their pockets when they saw them, and took them away.

Wait for the tea cup to pass.

"Marquis Yu, is there anyone here?"

"Dutou, there's no one in here either?"

"Where have all the people gone?"

“……”

"Let's go, go back to my life." The forbidden army immediately returned and rushed back in the direction of the palace.

Soon after the forbidden army left, a woman suddenly walked out of the corner of the outer wall of the mansion, she was holding a boy in one hand, two years old, she was asleep at the moment, and a girl in the other, about five or six years old.

The girl looked at the woman in horror, pointed to the door of the house that was opened, and said, "Mother, what are these people doing, good or bad, our house is ruined like this." ”

"Alas, Yu Niang, forget it." The woman sighed, fortunately she knew in advance that her husband had lost the battle, and she also heard her husband talk about the yin owl character of the saint today, and as soon as the war report came, she left the mansion, and fortunately, the people in the mansion were small and small, and all those subordinates were sent away, at this moment she muttered, "This, I can't live here for the time being, but now I only have two or three iron coins on my body, I don't know where to sleep tonight?" ”

The woman went out with her son in her arms and her daughter in her arms, and a package hanging from her back.

At this moment, from the side of the underworld shop not far away, a donkey cart had already driven over, and the head of a young girl poked out of it.

I saw that the girl stretched out her head, and when she saw the woman, she took a quick look, and she did not feel it at first, but in retrospect, she felt very pitiful that in such a cold weather, a woman with her own pair of children, dragged her family and staggered down the street.

She quickly ordered the donkey cart to stop, and then trotted to the woman, and the girl who was holding the woman's hand turned her head, and when she saw her, she said, "Hello sister, sister, you are so beautiful." ”

"That's good." The girl touched the girl's head.

"Yu Niang, little lady, you?" The woman asked.

The maiden had already gone up to the woman and asked a long question, "Where are you going, this lady?" Need help? ”

"This," said the woman, who did not recognize the girl in front of her, timidly, "little lady, we are here, to flee." ”

"Fleeing?" The girl asked rhetorically, and then she added, "Since you have fled, you must have no place to stay tonight, so you might as well go to me." ”

The woman said, "How can this be done, we who drag our family with us?" ”

"All brothers in the four seas." The girl suddenly remembered this sentence, and jumped out directly, and after speaking, she was a little embarrassed and said, "In this winter, you have to take this pair of young children alone, it is better to stay with me temporarily, I have a spacious place there." ”

"This ......"

"Get in the car, your name is Yu Niang." The girl squatted down and pinched the little girl's face, and the little girl was also amused.

"Mother, this sister is a good person, when Daddy comes home, let's go home again."

As soon as the woman heard that her daughter missed her father, a few tears had already dripped from the corners of her eyes, "According to the kindness of the little lady, when your father comes home, we will go home again." ”

The woman's family had already gotten into the donkey cart, and the donkey cart went to the bank of the Qinhuai River, which was the place of the Qingyin Pavilion.

When the girl got out of the carriage, there was a servant at the door, and the woman stood at the door, and she looked at the place, which she had heard of in all her ears, but now that she was in trouble, it was good to have a place to rest.

At this time, suddenly Zhao Dezhao walked out of it, he pointed to the girl and said, "Sister Jiu, who are they?" ”

"I met them on the road, and I was going to escape the famine, so I brought them back."

"Sister Jiu, that dare is good. Auntie, please go inside. Zhao Dezhao said enthusiastically.

"Thank you little lady, thank you little official." The woman was half-bowed, holding her two-year-old son in her arms.

At this moment, the woman suddenly woke up with a two-year-old boy in her arms, and then opened her hazy sleepy eyes, he looked at his mother, and said softly: "Mother-hungry." ”

"Third-rate, bear with it for a while." The woman coaxed the boy in her arms, and then looked at Zhang Jiuyue and Zhao Dezhao and said, "I'm sorry, my child is a little stubborn, and I ask the little lady and the little official to take care of it." ”

"Out of the way, I like kids the most. This aunt can rest assured. Zhao Dezhao said with a smile, and then he came to the woman, and then teased the little boy, "Brother, I have sugar here, I'll give it to you later." ”

When the little boy heard that there was candy to eat, he danced and said, "Eat candy—"

After that, Zhao Dezhao and Zhang Jiuyue asked about this woman's life experience and learned that she was the wife of the Jinling guard general Lu Yan, Lu Li. Yu Yan has now lost the battle and was captured by Lin Renzhao, which Zhao Dezhao already knew, but this Li Congqing blamed Yu Yan's head in order to ask the Yu Yan family for the crime, which made Zhao Dezhao very angry.

Fortunately, Zhang Jiuyue met Yu Yan's wife and children on the road, which saved them and brought Zhao Dezhao an unexpected surprise.

"Auntie, you can live with confidence."

Yu Li burst into tears with excitement and choked up: "Thank you two benefactors, you are the benefactors of our Yu family." ”

……

Outside the city, near Zhongshan, since Lin Renzhao won the battle, at this moment he has more than 60,000 troops under his command, practicing day and night, the mountains and rivers near the camp are also shaking in a moment, and the soldiers of Lin Renzhao's army on the playground shouted the slogan of killing thieves, and the momentum has reached the extreme.

Knowing that the Forbidden Army had failed to capture Yu Yan's family, Li Congqing began to roar hysterically, swept all the music on the table to the ground, and then kicked the table over again.

Li Yannian, who was outside the hall, hurriedly ran in, thinking that something had happened to the new emperor in the hall.

Li Yannian trotted in and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Since that incident, Li Congqing has changed his attitude towards Li Yannian, when he looked at Li Yannian, his expression was a little ambiguous, and he seemed to have a longing, he said: "It's nothing, the forbidden army is useless, and even a member of the Yan family has not been caught, don't you say?" ”

Li Yannian said: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding in this? ”

"Misunderstanding? Haha, since I ascended the throne, I feel that everything is not going well, and now I can't sort out any trivial things, I always feel uneasy in my heart, it seems that something big is about to happen, as long as I get through this crisis, I will be comfortable" Li Congqing sighed, not as annoyed as Fang Cai, and then he looked at Li Yannian in front of him and said, "Li Yannian, come here." ”

"Yes." Li Yannian walked in front of Li Congqing.

In an instant, Li Congqing hugged Li Yannian, and the nerves in his body had been stirred, and then Li Congqing hugged him to the bed again. Li Yannian was also a little surprised, since that incident, Li Congqing took him as the object of venting every once in a while, and at this moment Li Yannian also felt that his whole body was hot, and there was something wonderful in it, and then the two of them became unscrupulous.

"Well, I have made you the commander of the forbidden army."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Yannian, who was lying under Li Congqing, said shyly.

Li Congqing sang loudly: "Haha, my commander. I'm in. ”

…… The hall was warm, and Li Congqing and Li Yannian were exhausted at the moment and fell asleep.

……

South of the Yangtze River, the shore of Taihu Lake, outside Changzhou

"Joyfully, the Song army has crossed the Yangtze River. The army has now arrived in Runzhou. The fast horse rushed towards the city gate, and the soldiers at the head of the city immediately opened the city gate and let the fast horse enter the city.

Governor Ding Deyu said: "Good news, now that our Great Song army has arrived in Runzhou, soon after, the armies of our two countries will wave the army to Jiangning Mansion and abolish Li Congqing." ”
