Wanyan Zongwang sat at the table, there was wine and meat on the table, a golden knife, and his eyes were bright.

It seems that he is still the undefeated god of war of the Jin Kingdom, and there are still hundreds of thousands of invincible Jurchen iron horsemen under his command.

Two soldiers of the Great Song Forbidden Army came in carrying a box of things, glanced at Yan Zongwang, and immediately turned their eyes away in fear. Then he silently took away the cold wine and food on the table and replaced it with a freshly made hot and steaming wine and meat.

"Tell Chu Tianya to come to see me!" Wanyan Zongwang came out coldly.

Not light, not heavy, not angry, but not angry and mighty, as if there is an irresistible magic.

The two pawns looked at each other and were stunned. This was the first sentence Wanyan Zongwang said in the few days since he was captured; In addition, he actually speaks Chinese fluently!

"Get out." Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, as if calling his own servant. Then grab the lamb and start munching.

The two pawns were shocked and angry, but they didn't dare to attack, and silently retreated.

I happened to meet Zong Ze walking towards this side.

"Has he ever eaten?" Zong Ze asked.

The pawn hurriedly said: "Back to Grandpa Zong's words, he is finally willing to eat, and he also said a word, speaking Chinese, saying something...... 'Ask Chu Tianya to come to see me'!" ”

"Oh?" Zong Ze frowned slightly, then stroked his hair and smiled, "Interesting." Stand down! ”

"Yes!"

Zong Ze slowly paced to the door and stood still, looking at Wanyan Zongwang, who was gobbling up after a few days of hunger strike.

Wanyan Zong glanced at Zong Ze, carelessly, still munching on it.

Zong Ze symbolically knocked on the door, then walked in and stood still in front of Wanyan Zongwang.

"It's been a long time, second prince."

"I don't know you. Get out. Wanyan Zongwang wrapped wine and meat in his mouth, and said coldly angrily.

"During the siege of Tokyo, it was the old man who fought against you, the prefect of Kaifeng, Zong Ze." Zong Ze was not shocked or angry, and said indifferently, "Now that you are a prisoner of the ranks, what can you say?" ”

"Zong Ze? Seems to have heard of it. Wanyan Zongwang said nonchalantly, and then threw a piece of sheep bone and knocked it on the table, "The guard dog of the southern capital!" ”

"Yes, that's right." Zong Ze was not angry at all, but smiled and groaned, "Old man, he is a wicked guard dog in Tokyo, a criminal who specializes in biting and committing crimes!" ”

"It's long overdue to stew you!" Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Zong Ze coldly with murderous aura, "Save your villain from being ambitious, bark wildly here!" ”

"The second prince is really knowledgeable and talented, not only can he speak Chinese so fluently, but he also knows allusions and idioms." Zong Ze smiled instead, "The old man is here to tell you a good news and a bad news." I don't know the second prince, which one do you want to hear? ”

"Let's talk about it." Wanyan Zongwang Boss was impatient, "I don't have time to talk to you rotten people in the southern country!" ”

"Yes." Zong Ze was extremely calm, "The good news is that after learning that the second prince was defeated and captured, Wu Qimai, the emperor of the Jin State, hurriedly sent an envoy south, wanting to return the second prince on the condition that the three towns of Hebei have nearly a thousand miles of land and Zong Han withdraw his troops and return to Hedong. ”

"Phew!" Wanyan Zongwang was a little annoyed, "What kind of bullshit good news is this?" Because I am alone, I will abolish the major affairs of the country! ”

"The bad news is ......" Zong Zeyu's eyebrows sank slightly, and he smiled coldly, "Even if this matter is proposed by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, my Great Song may not agree to it-it must be decided by the King of Luoyang!" ”

"King of Luoyang?" Wanyan Zongwang didn't react for a while, and was suddenly stunned, "You mean, Chu Tianya?" ”

"Yes!"

"Very well, call him to see me!" Wanyan Zongze's eyes widened, and he said eagerly.

Zong Ze smiled, "Zong Wang, I salute you as a 'second prince', do you think you are really still the marshal of the Jin Kingdom who is above 10,000 people under one person?" Now you're just a prisoner. Luoyang King Wanjin, how can you see it if you want to see it? ”

"Hmph...... You will never understand! Wanyan Zongwang sneered, "I bet Chu Tianya must also want to come and see me, do you believe it or not?" ”

"The old man doesn't believe it!" Zong Ze said categorically, "For the defeated generals, there is no reason for the King of Luoyang to come and look at you!" ”

"Zongfu, you'd better believe it." Suddenly, a voice came from behind the door.

Zong Ze and Wanyan Zongwang looked back in surprise at the same time, it was Xu Han.

"Why is Xu Xiang here?"

"I'll take Yan Zongwang away." Xu Han said with a smile, "The king of Luoyang has an order to take Wanyan Zongwang to his military camp and imprison him, and he will personally take care of it. ”

"Oh?" Zong Ze was extremely surprised, "Wanyan Zongwang is a repeat offender in the imperial court, this ......"

"Rest assured." Xu Han smiled softly, "The prince must be measured, how can he embarrass you and me?" ”

Zong Ze suddenly realized, and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, you can take it away!" ”

"That's right." Xu Han smiled and said, "Now we are already in the same boat. If you can't trust others, you have to trust the king of Luoyang! ”

"Hmm......" Zong Ze nodded slightly.

Xu Han leaned closer and whispered, "In addition, the prince has a small matter, and he wants to ask the sect for help." ”

"Xu Xiang, please speak."

"The prince wants to find the Zongfu and wants someone."

"Who?"

"Yue Fei!"

……

In the evening of the same day, Yue Fei led a group of cavalry, together with Suzaku, Liuhe and others, escorted Wanyan Zongwang and Jiao Wentong, who was injured, out of Tokyo City, looking at Wutong Plain.

Yue Fei didn't understand why Zong Ze just ordered his general and let him go. He had a vague feeling in his heart that there must be something else hidden in this. Thinking about some of the contacts with Chu Tianya at the beginning, that person seemed to have a lot of intentions to solicit him. Now he is the world-famous king of Luoyang, although he has not officially entered the government, but the two powerful ministers of the dynasty are under his control.

Zong Ze's actions today made Yue Fei secretly uneasy in his heart - could it be that Chu Tianya wanted to use Zong Ze's hand to recruit me into his command?

"Yue has been determined to serve the court and the official family since he was a child, how can he take refuge in a powerful minister who is ambitious and chaotic in the world?" Yue Fei was secretly entangled and resentful, "In this way, what is the difference between Yue and Lu Bu, who serves Dong Zhuozhi?" ”

"Brother Yue Fei!" At this moment, Jiao Wentong's voice came from the carriage next to him.

"What do you want Second Brother Jiao to order?" Yue Fei patted his horse over and asked.

After a while, Yue Fei and Jiao Wentong hit it off at first sight. In the past few days, I have had more contact and get along, and I feel more like-minded, and I have unconsciously become a friend who has forgotten the year.

"It doesn't matter much, I just want to talk to my brother." Jiao Wentong was lying on the carriage, and said to Yue Fei with a smile through the window, "Jiao Wentong was injured a lot this time, especially after eating a few arrows on his back, which almost hurt his lungs. I am a man of arrows, and I will no longer be able to ride a horse and bend a bow if my back tendon is wounded. From now on, he will be a waste. ”

"Second brother doesn't have to be so depressed." Yue Fei hurriedly persuaded, "But please rest assured, during the holidays, the second brother is a battlefield tiger again." At that time, the younger brother will ask the second brother to make more accusations. ”

"Don't dare." Jiao Wentong smiled slightly, "Even if Jiao can recover as before, it will definitely not be as good as before." I'm old, and I'm no longer brave enough to be a teenager, and I'm no longer powerless when I charge into battle. ”

"The second brother is a dignified martial champion, how can he say such frustrating words?" Yue Fei's thick eyebrows twisted slightly, "Little brother has confidence in you, you will definitely be able to regain the courage of the past!" ”

"Don't you say that?" Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "Actually, I just want to ask you, in your opinion, how is my father-in-law?" ”

Yue Fei's brows tightened and fell silent.

Jiao Wentong smiled knowingly, motioned for Yue Fei to come closer, and then he said in a low voice: "Actually, if you don't say it, the foolish brother also knows." You ...... to my father-in-law? What a preconception, right? ”

Yue Fei was slightly stunned, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

"Brother, you are so sincere. Then I know that you can't lie. Jiao Wentong smiled, "Don't hide it, from the beginning, I didn't have a good impression of the lord." Not only that, but I also fought and seized power with it, and almost fought against each other, fighting to the death. ”

Yue Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh? ”

"I didn't lie to you, it's true." Jiao Wentong smiled faintly, "The Hori, the lord of my family, is around the time of the first southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom. Before that, Jiao had already made a name for himself in the Hedong area. Not to mention the gathering of echoes, at least no one dares to call for confrontation, and even the government can't help me. When the lord and the county lord were fighting in Qingyun Fort and the Xishan lord Zhang one-eyed, Jiao Mou alone rode tens of thousands of horses and horses to turn the tide - at that time, Jiao Mou was in full swing, when would he put the lord in his eyes, the little Taibao in the market who was born in a cell? ”

Yue Fei was both surprised and interested, "In this way, the second brother is indeed a heroic and heroic figure. Yue Mou is also very strange, how could a hero like the second brother bow his head to a person like Chu Tianya? ”

"Jiao himself doesn't know when I started to be convinced of him." Jiao Wentong smiled self-deprecatingly, "Before I met the lord, there were only two and a half people in Jiao's heart, which was worthy of Jiao's respect. One is my father, one is my eldest brother Guan Shan, and the other half is my mentor Guo Xizhen. ”

"Second brother, you are really arrogant." Yue Fei smiled, "I've heard for a long time that Jiao Wentong, the Taihang Divine Arrow, is arrogant and dares to compete with Tiangong. ”

"Makes you laugh." Jiao Wentong smiled with some difficulty, "Before this, Jiao Mou was indeed like this, he couldn't put sand in his eyes and things in his heart...... Pengju, in fact, Jiao just wanted to say that you have a prejudice against the lord, mostly because of his origin and background. If you really knew him, you wouldn't be like that. ”

"Yes......" Yue Fei replied lightly, noncommittal.

"At the very least, he's worth getting to know and get to know him." Jiao Wentong said.

"If you're close, you don't have to, right?" Yue Fei said bluntly, "He is above 10,000 people under one person, Yue Mou...... Recently, he became a commander of the horse army. ”

"The friendship between men has nothing to do with their job background." Jiao Wentong said, "Pengju, have you ever wondered why you and I are so close to each other? ”

"This ......"

"That's because we're all the same kind of people." Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "You have the ability, you have the arrogance, you have a set of criteria and laws in your chest, whether it is others or yourself, you can't go beyond the thunder pool by half a step." ”

When Yue Fei heard this, he really said it to the bottom of his heart, so he nodded with affection, "Second brother, it's really a confidant of the younger brother!" ”

"Although this is not necessarily a bad thing; But if you don't know how to be flexible, it's not necessarily all good. Jiao Wentong said, "To put it nicely, this is assertive and righteous; To put it ugly, it is stubborn. Because of such a character, Jiao has made many mistakes and done many wrong things. Some of them made Jiao regret it for life...... For example, forcing my eldest brother Guan Shan to death! ”

Yue Fei's eyebrows raised in shock, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"Pengju, you are still young, and you have not experienced much after all." Jiao Wentong said, "I can see that your Top Gun is extraordinary. Your mentor Zhou Tong was an old senior, and when he was teaching at the Tokyo Bow Horse Children's Institute, Jiao also knew it; He and Jiao's mentor Guo Xizhen were also colleagues. Although the two of them have different paths and do not conspire with each other, they both have one purpose, that is, they hope that their disciples will become people who stand up to the heavens and the earth in the future. Pengju, you sue me - what does it mean to stand up to the heavens and the earth? ”

"To report to the country and report to the king is to stand up to the sky!" Yue Fei replied.

"Wrong." Jiao Wentong smiled, "At most, it is a man's ambition, not a man's creed - the so-called standing up to the sky, whether it is a prince or a general, or a mountain villager, you can stand up to the sky." As long as he keeps his promises, argues right from wrong, knows black and white, does something, and does nothing! ”

Yue Fei looked at Jiao Wentong with a look of surprise on his face, and clenched his fists, "Little brother has been taught!" ”

"To be a big man who stands up to the sky, you must first know how to distinguish between right and wrong. You can't just rely on some rumors and your own conjectures to judge a person's righteousness and evil, the right and wrong of a thing. Jiao Wentong said, "Jiao can imagine that in the eyes of the court officials and many scholars, Hedong Chu Tianya is a ringing horse leader who confuses the country and the people. But what did he do that brought disaster to the country and the people? Did he kill the traitor Tong Guan, repel Wanyan Zonghan and defend Taiyuan, or restrained the 100,000 Hedong rebels and the people to resist Jin and save the country, or flooded Zongwang to save Tokyo and turn the tide? ”

"This ......" Yue Fei was speechless.

Jiao Wentong is still smiling, "When looking at a person, you must not only use your eyes and ears, but also use your heart." Think about it, if it were a person who brought disaster to the country and the people, would he do these things desperately? With his ability, where is the place to gather a group of people in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, isn't it fragrant and spicy? In the final analysis, the one who beat the gold thief and saved the Great Song Dynasty was Chu Tianya after all, wasn't it? No matter how good those saints and old masters shouted, they never touched a single cold hair of the Jurchens after all; On the contrary, those who spend their days pondering about the struggle for power and profit, and the traitor to seek glory, are the same people. In comparison, my father-in-law ...... He is really a great sage who has done practical things! ”

"Second brother, junior brother understands what you mean......" Yue Fei nodded understandingly, "I will persuade myself to try to contact and understand the King of Luoyang." Honestly......"

Speaking of this, Yue Fei stopped a little embarrassed.

"In front of me, Pengju has something to say, can't you say it directly?" Jiao Wentong smiled.

Yue Fei smiled bitterly, "When I was leaving, there was a lot of warmth between the words of the sect, signaling that I should be more close and humble when I saw the king of Luoyang. Yue was born with a strange temper, if the sect did not tell him like this, Yue might still be official and respectful to the king of Luoyang; The Zong Mansion said so...... In my heart, I still have a bit of a mustard for the Zongfu. Ren is the Zongfu, and there is also a suspicion of slapping horses! ”

"Hahaha! …… Cough! Jiao Wentong laughed, laughed a few times and coughed again.

"Why is the second brother laughing?"

"Pengju, your bird personality is really like Jiao when he was young!" Jiao Wentong still laughed endlessly, "Let me tell you, my father-in-law likes people like you!" On the contrary, the kind of person who prefers to slip the whiskers and shoot the horse, the lord will not expose it on his face, and he is really ashamed in his heart. Just look at the people close to him - whether it's Jiao someone, or the Qingwei who can't blow up a fart even if the thunder in front of him can't blow up a fart, which one of them is a whisker and a horse? ”

Yue Fei really glanced around, "This is ......"

The noble man got closer and glanced at Yue Fei fiercely, "Dumbfounded, what to see!" ”

Yue Fei's neck shrank, "Second brother, this little lady is very fierce!" ”

"Haha!" Jiao Wentong laughed again, "Around the lord, there are many such wonderful people. Pengju, you should really put some thought into getting to know my father-in-law. Maybe one day, you will be reluctant to leave. There is nothing wrong with Zongfu telling you like that, and it does not mean that he is a sycophant. ”

"I know that." Yue Fei nodded approvingly, "Zong Ze is a rare upright and generous person in this world. ”

"Zongfu said that because he also thinks that my lord is a person worthy of your respect." Jiao Wentong smiled and said, "Listen to Brother Yu, use your heart to see what kind of person my lord is." Brother Fool doesn't want to lobby you to serve my father-in-law. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't ask for it. I just don't want a talent like you to miss out on my father-in-law; I don't want you to be rewarded for your ambitions, although you have a skill, but there is nowhere to stretch. Believe me, King Luoyang, he will definitely be a noble man in your life! ”

Yue Fei took a deep breath and nodded slowly with bright eyes.

"Humph! A strong man like you, how many tens of millions are under the command of my lord? The more the noble man looked at Yue Fei, the more annoyed he became, "Second brother, why do you bother to lobby him?" It's as if we were asking him to join us! ”

"You're talking nonsense." The Suzaku next to her scolded, "The lord once said that Yue Fei is an extraordinary handsome talent. Although there are 100,000 Hedong rebels, no one can compare with them. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, let alone a handsome talent? - Nobleman, if you want to speak disrespectfully again, don't blame me for being unkind to you! ”

The noble man stuck out his tongue, glanced at Yue Fei again, and said no more.

The speaker has no intention of listening, and at this moment, Yue Fei's heart is already difficult to be peaceful, and he keeps secretly thinking: I have only one relationship with Chu Tianya, why does he think that I am a "handsome talent"? …… This masked girl has always been quiet and indifferent, killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables, and she does not look like a joker.

Strange, why did Chu Tianya set his sights on ...... Yue someone?!
