Half a month ago, Huang Zong saw that the situation in Yingtianfu was stable, so he asked the old hero Meng An to go to Chuzhou to pick up his family. After all, at this time, the whole world is in turmoil, high-ranking officials, and wealthy families cannot guarantee that they will live until tomorrow.

Yue Fei sent 500 cavalry to Meng An, hoping that Meng An could train these 500 cavalry into real elites in the gallop of thousands of miles.

Meng An was ordered to set off, and he didn't know how many rogues he had defeated along the way. Crossing the Zhun River to Chuzhou, Meng An left the cavalry outside the city and brought a dozen people into the city. I didn't expect to be in the middle of the war when I entered the city. In fact, only a few dozen soldiers took advantage of the night to set fire to the fire and make a loud noise. Zhizhou Zhao Mingcheng heard that there was chaos in the city, and fled the city alone, even ignoring his wife Li Qingzhao.

Lao Meng An rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to temporarily withdraw from the city, and one person, a knife, rushed into the chaos, slashing and killing more than a dozen loud rebels in a row, and the rebels were angry.

After the chaos in Chuzhou, Zhao Mingcheng returned to the city and put on a posture of Corporal Lixian, wanting to recruit Meng An.

Meng An said with a smile, "I, Meng An, am not a savage in the rivers and lakes, but the head of the cavalry of the Yingtian Protector Army, and I have a responsibility, so I can only thank my lord for his kindness." ”

Zhao Mingcheng still didn't give up, and continued, "Yingtian is only a few hundred miles away from the Yellow River, and if the Jin people go south, they will capsize in a blink of an eye. Why did the old hero Meng bother to die! It is better to stay in Chuzhou and receive both official and lu. ”

Meng An already despised Zhao Mingcheng's courage, and when he saw Zhao Mingcheng scaring himself with Jin Bing, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and said loudly, "Meat eaters are despicable and fail to plan far." General Cao Di really didn't deceive me. Your Excellency knows that I joined the Protector Army to fight to the death against the Jinren. If it weren't for our local militia groups and the Jin people to fight to the death, the adult's Chuzhou would probably not be able to stop the Jin people, right? I wonder where the adults could flee to at that time? ”

Zhao Mingcheng saw that Meng An's words were disrespectful, and immediately brushed his sleeves away. Meng An came to Huang Zong's mansion and handed over Huang Zong's handwritten letter.

Zhang Ruolan, Huang Zong's wife, was born in a family of eunuchs and likes to read poetry and books. When I received a letter from my husband this time, I couldn't help but feel happy and sad at the same time. Happily, her husband not only had a message, but also became the prefect of Yingtian. Although it is only an acting prefect launched by the people, looking at the current situation in the imperial court, the status of the husband will definitely be recognized. The husband has always had the ambition to clarify the world, and this time it finally has a place to use. The sad thing is that I left my hometown this time, and I don't know when I will be able to return. But husbands and wives should have worked together to get through the difficult times. Since my husband had sent a letter, I should have set out immediately.

But before I go out of the city, I'm going to meet my good sister Li Qingzhao.

It turned out that the person Ruolan admired most was Li Qingzhao. Li Qingzhao followed Zhao Mingcheng to Chuzhou, and Zhang Ruolan immediately wrote a letter of worship and submitted it. After Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan met once, they thought that although Zhang Ruolan was a beautiful girl, she had a chivalrous spirit, and soon became a handkerchief with Zhang Ruolan.

So before leaving the city, Zhang Ruolan deliberately went to Zhizhou Yamen to say goodbye to Li Qingzhao. When I saw Li Qingzhao, Li Qingzhao was packing up his things, and the gold and stone calligraphy and paintings on the ground were placed on the ground.

Zhao Mingcheng and Li Qingzhao both like to collect gold and stone calligraphy and paintings. In addition, Zhao Tingzhi, the father of Zhao Mingcheng, was the prime minister, and Li Gefei, the father of Li Qingzhao, was a disciple of Su Dongpo. Therefore, in the Yamen of Chuzhou, there are as many worthless books in the calligraphy and painting workshop on the rare gold and stone portraits as on the street, which always makes Zhang Ruolan dumbfounded.

Zhang Ruolan took a step forward and blessed her, "Sister, why are you packing up your things?" Do you have to go far away? ”

The two are often referred to as sisters. Li Qingzhao is a few years older than Zhang Ruolan, so she became an older sister.

Li Qingzhao raised his head, but Zhang Ruolan was startled. Li Qingzhao, who always had a faint smile on his face in the past, looked haggard at this time, his eyes were red, he had obviously cried, and his eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul.

Li Qingzhao smiled reluctantly at Zhang Ruolan, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Isn't my sister going to Yingtianfu, why haven't you left the city yet?" Now that the war is in chaos, my sister is careful all the way. I won't send you. Besides, I will be the wife of a prisoner, and I will not be able to send you away. ”

Zhang Ruolan asked in surprise, "Why did my sister say this?" ”

Before Li Qingzhao could answer, Zhao Mingcheng walked out of the room and said very aggrievedly, "Ruolan, you came just in time. Persuade her for me. She kept complaining that I had fled in the face of the rebellion, that I was not manly. I, Zhao Mingcheng, am a scholar, and I have no power to restrain the chicken, how can I suppress those fierce soldiers. The saint has clouds, and the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. ”

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but be even more disheartened when he heard that Zhao Mingcheng was still upbeat about his escape. He didn't pay attention to Zhao Mingcheng, but just bent the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous expression.

Zhao Mingcheng was even more annoyed when he saw Li Qingzhao like this, and regardless of Zhang Ruolan's presence, he said loudly, "Qingzhao, don't look at me with that expression!" Yes, I don't have the courage, but who in the world today is not like that. The emperor also ran all the way from Xiangzhou to Jiankang. You don't have to show me face, and you don't have to clean up your things, my father was the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and the current ruling Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan are all my father's protégés, and they won't punish me at all. At most, change places to be Zhizhou. ”

Li Qingzhao couldn't bear it anymore. Li Qingzhao has a gentle personality, but he has a pride in his bones. She looked at Zhao Mingcheng and said coldly, "Do you think I'm afraid that you will lose your official position?" If you don't lose your official position like Zhizhou, the emperor is really blind. As a local governor, in the face of dozens of rebels, he didn't even have the courage to resist. ”

Zhao Mingcheng argued to himself, "How can you blame me for this, I don't know that they only have dozens of chaotic soldiers." ”

Li Qingzhao sneered and continued, "I know that you are a scholar, and you are useless as a scholar, and it is understandable to run away. But can't you talk to me when you run away? You left me alone in the house, have you ever thought about what happened to me when the rebels entered the yamen? ”

Zhao Mingcheng's face turned red, and he couldn't argue anymore. In fact, he didn't deliberately leave Li Qingzhao, but he was frightened by the noise of the rebels and forgot his wife. Now listening to Li Qingzhao's accusations, he can only remain silent.

Li Qingzhao rolled a calligraphy and painting in his hand, and said in a sad voice, "You used to say that me and Jinshi calligraphy and painting are all you have. I naively believed it. One letter is twenty years. Now I realize that in your mind, we are just objects that can be discarded at any time. ”

Zhang Ruolan saw that Li Qingzhao became more and more sad the more she spoke, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "Sister, don't be too sad." Thinking about it, Brother Zhao was also confused for a while, after all, he was a scholar, and he couldn't compare to the courage of those Jianghu men. ”

Zhao Mingcheng listened to Zhang Ruolan arguing for himself, and was secretly grateful in his heart.

But he heard Li Qingzhao sneer and continued, "Sister, your Huang Xianggong is also a scholar. But his courage is several times stronger than that of someone. ”

Zhao Mingcheng saw that Li Qingzhao had devalued himself as worthless, so he immediately changed his face and said angrily, "I don't have the courage anymore, and I am also a good son-in-law chosen by your father Li Gefei." You can only blame your father for being blind. No matter how poor I am Zhao Mingcheng, I am also the son of the prime minister, not a pawn of a street peddler, and there is no reason for a woman to be the master of the house in my family. Although you are talented, you have forgotten the ancient admonition of three obedience and four virtues. Laughing at her husband in front of outsiders, what a great skill! ”

Zhao Mingcheng's words with a gun and a stick shocked Li Qingzhao completely speechless. Zhang Ruolan peeked at Zhao Mingcheng, and saw that Zhao Dazhizhou no longer had the elegant demeanor of the past, but had a hideous and terrifying face.

Li Qingzhao slowed down for a while before he let out a sigh of relief, staring straight at Zhao Mingcheng with his eyes straight and not saying a word. Although Zhao Mingcheng roared for a while, it was actually just Brother Gongzi's vanity that was doing trouble. Seeing his wife's gaze at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a little weak, and I wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't let go. Finally, he snorted, turned around and walked out of the yamen, and went to the drunken flower building to buy drunk.

Li Qingzhao saw Zhao Mingcheng go out, so he turned his face to Zhang Ruolan and said, "Sister, you want to go to Yingtianfu, can you give me a ride?" I want to go back to Jinan Mansion to pay tribute to my father. ”

Zhang Ruolan was a little hesitant. "Brother Zhao's side?"

Li Qingzhao's lips were tightly pursed, and there was a kind of determination in his eyes. She held Zhang Ruolan's hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Sister, sister really can't face such a man. At least not yet. I have to go back to my hometown, or I'll go crazy. ”

Zhang Ruolan originally looked down on Zhao Mingcheng, and then looked at Li Qingzhao's heartbroken face, and nodded in agreement. Li Qingzhao packed up his clothes, brought his personal maid Xiaoqing, and asked Meng An to send someone to carry two large boxes of gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, and left Chuzhou City.

When Zhao Mingcheng came back from the party drunk in the evening, he found that Li Qingzhao had long since disappeared. asked the family members, and learned that Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan went out of the city together, saying that they were returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, and they couldn't help but be furious and beat up several family members.

Besides, Li Qingzhao sat on the same sedan chair as Zhang Ruolan, left Chuzhou, and traveled all the way to Ying Tianfu.

On the march, Meng An and the Protectors often sang loudly. "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rests." When Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan heard it for the first time, they immediately high-fived and applauded.

Li Qingzhao said to Zhang Ruolan, "I really envy my sister and married a real hero." This word must have been filled in by Huang Xianggong. Only a person like Huang Xianggong who has a heart for the world can write such wonderful words. ”

Zhang Ruolan said hesitantly, "Sister, I'm afraid this word was not written by my father-in-law." Although my father-in-law is informal, he can't write such atmospheric words. Let's ask Meng Lao Hero. ”

Zhang Ruolan called Meng An and asked who made this poem Manjianghong. In fact, Zhang Ruolan still hopes that this word was written by Huang Zong. With this poem alone, Huang Zong will also leave a name for eternity.

Meng An said with a smile, "Except for our Protector Army Yue Regiment Training Envoy, who in the world can fill in such words." This song is the military song of our Protector Army. I, Meng An, have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for half my life, and there is only one young man who can make me admire. ”

Li Qingzhao asked in disbelief, "This word is written impassionedly, and after reading it, it makes the weak fight and the cowardly brave, which can be described as a heart-washing word." In which year was the Jinshi of your family's Yuetuan training envoy, who was able to write such words, how could such a talented person be unknown? But when I was in Bianliang, I never heard of a talented man surnamed Yue. ”

Meng An saw that Li Qingzhao seemed to be doubting his words, and immediately replied, "In this world, it's not only Jinshi who can write poems and lyrics. My family's Yue regiment training envoy is a farmer in Xiangzhou, who has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and can be called unparalleled in the world with a big gun. He also loves writing and ink, self-taught scriptures, and composes poems and lyrics. In my old Meng's opinion, it is much stronger than many Jinshi. However, Yue Tuan Lian Envoy did not have the pride of other literati, and when commenting on the romantic figures of this dynasty, Yue Tuan Lian Envoy only recommended Xu Dasu Bachelor alone. ”

Zhang Ruolan often thought that Huang Zong was a first-class talent in the world, but when she saw Meng An mention Huang Zong, her tone was very light, and it seemed that she was just an equal, but when she mentioned Yue Fei's name, she suddenly revealed a kind of reverence from the bottom of her heart.

Not only Meng An, but all the Protectors heard Yue Fei's name, and their eyes were full of reverence. This made Li Qingzhao and Zhang Ruolan even more curious about Yue Fei.

Along the way, the Protector Army told some of Yue Fei's deeds to the two of them. When Li Qingzhao heard that Yue Fei was injured, he pacified the Yingtian rebellion in seven days, and stabilized the situation in Yingtian for half a month, he couldn't help but praise, "The husband should be like this." "Decided to meet Yue Fei when he entered Yingtianfu, if he was really a hero, Li Qingzhao decided to give Yue Fei a few calligraphy and paintings of Master Dasu.

When they arrived at Yingtianfu, it happened to be the 28th of July. The day before Yue Fei was officially hired. When Yue Fei heard Meng An say that he had brought Huang Zong's family over, he suddenly remembered his mother and a pair of children. Said to himself, "I don't know if Master Zhihun and Yue Fu have left Bianliang and gone to the Erlong Peak of Taihang Mountain to find Senior Brother Huo Rui." ”

It turned out that in addition to going to Kaifeng to find Zong Ze to discuss the military aircraft, Zhihun and Yue Fan also took on the task of going to Taihang Mountain to find their mother-in-law. If they are found, bring them back to heaven. It's a pity that they haven't come back until now.

Meng An saw that Yue Fei was a little sad, and hurriedly persuaded, "Pengju don't worry. I know the ability of Master Zhihun to be there, and with him, Lingtang and a pair of Lin'er will arrive safely in Yingtian. By the way, Pengju, Li Qingzhao also came to our Yingtian. ”

Yue Fei asked a little excitedly, "Could it be that Jinan Li Yi'an, who is famous all over the world?" ”

"yes." Meng An nodded and said, "Those talented people in our People's Protector Army are all clamoring to see Li Qingzhao." I don't understand, although Li Qingzhao is a talented woman in the world, she is far inferior to Hua Ruyu. No swords and guns, no battlefield. What's there to see? ”
