Lu Xiufu has been standing quietly in the courtyard.

It's already the time of sunset, and the sun is shining on my body, warm.

Lu Xiufu didn't move his steps at all, and his eyes were looking straight ahead, as if he was going to wait until the door opened. These days, he obviously has not had good food and lodging, not only with dark circles on his face, but also a lot of weight loss on his body, and Lu Tong, who stood at the bow of the ship and resolutely commanded the back of the Tianwu Army to attack Qizhou.

Jiang Tie and Guo Chang were standing in the front hall door behind Lu Xiufu, although the two of them were busy dealing with the reports of the Tianwu Army and the transfer of the six doors and Jinyi Guard, they were still looking at this lonely figure with some concern.

In their opinion, or in the eyes of everyone, this matter is the self-inflicted sin of several members of the Lu family, and it has nothing to do with Lu Xiufu, but Lu Xiufu is his father who vomits blood and is seriously ill on the one hand, and Tianwu Jun who was betrayed by his own family on the other, and it is difficult for him to be a man in the middle. Thinking that the Zhenjiang Lu family might decline forever in the future, and the Tianwu Army would also see itself as a stranger, he naturally couldn't help but sigh and feel sad in his heart.

What's more, there are those brothers who were killed in Zhenjiang by Liumen and Jinyiwei, and Lu Xiufu doesn't know what kind of face he has to meet their families. On weekdays, as long as the family members of the Tianwu Army are in Xingzhou, Lu Xiufu will personally come to the door to condole, but this time, he really said that there is no such face.

For the first time, he was hesitant about his future.

"Squeak" The door opened, and Lu Xiufu still stood there straight, looking at the figure that came out with unwavering eyes. And Jiang Tie, Guo Chang and the others also stopped being busy with some worries, after all, Lu Xiufu had made indelible contributions to the Tianwu Army, and no one wanted to see him being excluded by Ye Yingwu's heart.

Stretching his waist, Ye Yingwu squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Xiufu in front of him: "Brother Junshi, but what's the matter with looking for so-and-so?" ”

Lu Xiufu wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he took two steps forward and knelt on the ground: "The Lu family is full of doors, please make the king gracious." It was the Lu family who made the court lose his mind for a while, and now he has repented, and he asked the king to live all the people of the Lu family. ”

Ye Yingwu hurriedly caught up, stretched out his hand to support Lu Xiufu, and said in a low voice: "Kneel down at noon, it's dusk and you are kneeling again, you two really don't let someone stop." ”

Lu Xiufu sighed softly: "Yu Zi knows that the Lu family is deeply guilty, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to resolve the mustard here, so I will resign from the post of Xingzhou General Judge, just to ask the envoy not to live up to my sister's heart for you??????"

Ye Yingwu violently pushed Lu Xiufu away, Lu Xiufu was caught off guard and stumbled on the ground. And Ye Yingwu didn't help him, pointing his finger at Lu Xiufu and shouting coldly: "Okay, you Lu Junshi!" You are not small, and you still want to resign from the Xingzhou General Judgment, because you want to learn from Guan Yunchang, hang the seal and seal the gold, and not follow a certain Cao thief; Or do you want to learn from Tao Yuanming, don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, and think that a certain subordinate is full of corrupt officials? ! You can make it clear yourself, right here, make it clear to so-and-so! ”

Lu Xiufu knelt on the ground: "Envoy, you have not failed the Lu family, it is the Lu family who has failed you!" ”

Jiang Tie, Guo Chang and the others hurriedly ran out when they saw Lu Xiufu kneeling down again, and Yang Xu also came out of the house and grabbed Ye Yingwu: "What do you want to do?!" ”

Ye Yingwu flicked his sleeves and let Jiang Tie and Guo Changyi support Lu Xiufu left and right: "I just want to ask him?" Tianwu Army, Xingzhou, the great country, is a certain and countless brothers went forward and worked hard with blood and sweat, you Lu Xiufu is now fleeing from the battle, abandoning the 30,000 soldiers of the Tianwu Army and 100,000 people of Xingzhou, what is your intention?! I have never seen such a coward who shirks his responsibilities! What Lu family bears me, as long as you Lu Xiufu is upright and has never failed me, what does he do?! Could it be that just because of this matter, the Tianwu Army will not recognize your general judgment? Are those brothers who died in battle like watching you get out?! ”

Lu Xiufu froze there, tears running wild on his face.

"You mean!" Ye Yingwu shouted coldly, and was about to kick it up when he raised his foot.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xu hurriedly hugged Ye Yingwu and shouted at Guo Chang and Jiang Tie, "Quickly help Lu Tong down!" ”

Jiang Tie and Guo Chang, who were shocked by Ye Yingwu's words, woke up from a dream and couldn't help but retreat with Lu Xiufu. And Ye Yingwu stomped his feet angrily: "These two rabbit cubs, they are running quite fast at this time." ”

"Comfortable?" Yang Xu sighed softly and let go of his hand, "This time, after all, I should be able to help Lu Tongju open the knot." ”

Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly: "After all, he is a pillar of talent, and he can't bear to break it." This time, even if it is polished, it is also good. ”

Yang Xu was silent for a moment and asked softly, "Then what?" Still want to stay in Zhenjiang Mansion? ”

Ye Yingwu breathed a sigh of relief: "I have already written a letter to my father and mother in Longxing Mansion before, and they will be responsible for the marriage, so I don't have to worry about this." Now the most worrying thing is not Xiangyang in the west, but in the south. If Jia Yidao was not beaten slowly, Tianwu Jun did not dare to give it a go in Xiangyang, after all, the feeling of having a knife behind his back was too uncomfortable. ”

"Next, going south?" Yang Xu stretched out his hand again to wrap his arms around Ye Yingwu's waist, "There are still loyal and good people in the Imperial City Division, don't kill them all, you can be regarded as a concubine." ”

Holding Yang Su's hand, Ye Yingwu laughed softly: "You are going to accompany someone to the south, plus Commander Yang is also there, who is loyal and who is traitorous, who is good and who is bad, you two know it in your hearts after all." ”

——————————————————

Lin'an Mansion, Geling.

Jia Rudao looked coldly at the two figures standing opposite.

They all bent over with the same humility and didn't say a word. It's just that the one on the left is neatly dressed and drags out a long back in the setting sun, while the other one is disheveled and ragged, and I don't know how many setbacks I have experienced to get here.

"Hong Qi is dead?" Looking at the mountain-like music on the table, Jia Nidao's voice was a little hoarse, and it was mixed with a cold and biting chill.

Liao Yingzhong on the left side shivered, and hurriedly said: "Well, this person blindly flatters the Xianggong, but behind his back, he is ridiculous**, and he actually attracted the people of the city to chase and kill, and this time he deserves it." It's just a pity that there are nearly 100,000 soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang Mansion, and under the leadership of Hong Qi, they are already smoky and weak, and it is difficult to be useful. ”

"It's hard to be useful?!" Jia Rudao slapped the table hard, "It's hard to use!" A full 100,000 people, plus so many elites of the Imperial City Division, were killed by more than a dozen guards from Ye Yingwu's district and the 500 cavalry who arrived later, so that they lost their armor and ran all over the city? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous! Even if it's 100,000 pigs, he Ye Yingwu can't catch them! ”

Liao Yingzhong stopped talking, with an embarrassed look on her face. And Weng Yinglong, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief, the greater the fault Liao Yingzhong committed, the smaller the guilt on his body would naturally be. After all, by Jia Yidao's side, apart from himself and Liao Yingzhong, he couldn't find other handy staff.

Liao Yingzhong glanced at Weng Yinglong with a slight sideways face, but Weng Yinglong closed his eyes and pretended not to see it, although he owed Liao Yingzhong a favor, but now is not the time to pay it back, otherwise he will also score half of the sin of the chaos in Zhenjiang Mansion.

"The woman who was caught in the drunken spring breeze in Lin'an a few days ago also has any explanation?" Jia Rudao then asked in a cold voice, "After that, they successively launched attacks on Ye Yingwu's secret spy strongholds in Jiangnan, what was the effect?" ”

There were already beads of sweat on her forehead, and Liao Yingzhong smiled bitterly: "That woman is very hard-mouthed, and all kinds of punishments have been tried, I'm afraid I can't say anything." As for Ye Yingwu's spy strongholds in the south of the Yangtze River, the Imperial City Division's attacks are still effective, but there are many people under Ye Yingwu's command in Pingjiang Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion and other places, and it is difficult to start, and there is also Yang Feng, a traitor who is familiar with the Imperial City Division, who is in the middle of the dispatch, and he has tried to attack several times and has been in vain. ”

"When did this Ye Yingwu develop such a big force out of thin air? Even Jiangnan can't help him. From Liangzhejiang to the west, I'm afraid that the territory that the Imperial City Division can control now can't surpass Jiangnan East Road, right? The old man hasn't seen the concerts of Xiangyang and Sichuan Shu for some days, and today these impeachments are the first time I have seen them! ”

Liao Yingzhong and Weng Yinglong bowed their heads and were silent. The reason why Ye Yingwu has developed rapidly is that he relies on the Qinglou Tile House and Post Station Caravans in various places, which the Imperial City Division disdains, so naturally he has never paid attention to it, and even let the drunken spring breeze swagger back in Lin'an.

Even a small Xingzhou governor can bury his own nails in Lin'an, not to mention those troops stationed in various places who have more than 100,000 troops outside, not to mention the huge and powerful and terrifying Mongolia in the north.

The decadence and decay of the Imperial City Division can already be seen.

Jia Rudao looked at the two of them: "Yinglong, you were released from Xingzhou by Ye Yingwu, and you have worked hard along the way." Let's go down and rest first. Since Ye Yingwu put you back this time, he also wanted to express some sincerity, not to mention that the Tianwu Army was on the flank of the back road of Xiangyang, which was related to the safety of the army stationed in Xiangyang, so you should not act rashly, give Ye Yingwu some benefits first, stabilize him, and wait until the battle in Xiangyang is over. ”

"Dare to ask Xianggong, what benefits should be promised?" Liao Yingzhong hurriedly asked, Jia Yidao said "benefits" in general, if the benefits to Ye Yingwu from his own initiative exceeded Jia Yidao's expectations, then he would suffer in the end.

Stretching out his hand and knocking on the table, Jia Rudao said lazily: "Add the deputy envoy along the river to control the waterway soldiers and horses north of Ganlongxing Mansion and south of Qihuang Prefecture, and the Lu family of Zhenjiang Mansion is generous and rewarding." Didn't the Lu family take refuge in us? Zhenjiang Mansion can be handed over to them, and if they can win it, they will continue to fight for it and use it for me. ”

"Yes." Liao Yingzhong breathed a sigh of relief, this time it can be regarded as bleeding, and the deputy envoy along the river can be regarded as a real title, which is completely different from the original reward of "pacification envoy along the river in northern Jiangxi".

Now the imperial court has not appointed an envoy along the river, Jia Rudao has Li Tingzhi in his heart, after all, this is the general in the army who has the best relationship with him except for Lu Wende, but now Mongolia has many feints and temptations on the two Huai lines, and Li Tingzhi can't leave for a while. In addition, there is only one deputy envoy along the river, Fan Wenhu, although this person is incapable and timid, but he is loyal to Jia Rudao. After Ye Yingwu served as the deputy envoy of the system along the river, he was equivalent to being on an equal footing with Fan Wenhu.

Looking at the various state capitals along the Yangtze River from Jiangnan to Sichuan and Shu, he is already the biggest official.

Jia Rudao looked up at the sky, the sun was setting, and the slanting light was shining on the bodies of the three people. For Ye Yingwu, for the current Great Song Dynasty, he suddenly had a sense of powerlessness. It seems that he is no longer the ruler of the dynasty who says everything, but an old man who is dying, just like the sun that is about to go down. And Ye Yingwu is the sun after the morning light, and he has no strength to stop him from moving forward.

But he is unwilling, he seems to have been in the court for so many years, what big and small wind and rain have not been seen? Even when the implementation of the "public land system" caused all parties to resist it with all their might, he had to grit his teeth and never relax, and finally faltered down. But now, it will be defeated by a twenty-year-old hairy young man.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves hit the beach. At this time, Jia Rudao had such a desolate feeling in his heart, I am afraid that at this time, Ye Yingwu's heart was similar to the feeling of commanding his ministers when he was young, at that time, Jiang Wanli and Ye Mengding, weren't they just the little officials who were promoted by themselves at will?

Even this Great Song Dynasty is only a sage of an official family on the surface, but who doesn't know that this official family is just a puppet of Jia Yidao, who eats, drinks and has fun every day, is arrogant and lascivious, and does nothing at all.

Not to mention Ye Yingwu, it is Lu Wende, his closest confidant, who has an army of 150,000 in Xiangyang, how many times have he obeyed his orders? Li Tingzhi, the two Huai in the north, has a good relationship with him, but isn't he still unambiguous when he should stab the knife? And to the west, Sichuan Shu Gundam and Zhang Jue are more or less with themselves, but they can't move.

Because there is no one else who can barely hold up the sky like them.

Jia Rudao looked up at the sky rendered by the setting sun, this broken sky didn't know how long it could last. ** During the battle of Ezhou years ago, he already faintly felt that the heavenly dome was about to collapse, because the Mongolian Tatars were more difficult opponents than the Jin State soldiers back then.

Except for Ye Yingwu.

But how can the old man sit back and watch you Ye Yingwu rise and ruin everything for the old man?! Jia Rudao's heart trembled, and he shouted almost hysterically: "Those who should be rewarded will be rewarded, but those who should be dealt with can't be let go at all!" Pingjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion are the northern barriers of Lin'an, and there is no room for failure, and Ye Yingwu's spy forces everywhere are all uprooted by the old man! ”

Weng Yinglong and Liao Yingzhong, who just wanted to say goodbye and leave, were stunned, and when they looked at each other, they both saw the helplessness and depression in each other's hearts. Isn't this forcing Ye Yingwu to make a complete break with Jia Nidao? If Ye Yingwu is forced to rebel, it will be a great sin, and the entire Great Song Dynasty will be completely divided.

Even Liao Yingzhong, who is good at infighting, doesn't want to see this.

But Jia seems to be angry, and the two of them have nothing to do, after all, they still need some results to reply, otherwise they will not be able to keep their heads.
