The abbot said with a smile: "This temple has always been a place of retreat, the general and the princess came to pay off their vows, even if you want to find someone, you don't need to use a knife or a gun, just send someone in to say a word, I believe the general will go out to meet you." Song Zixian was already impatient, he stepped forward and said viciously: "Old bald donkey, you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I killed the chickens and dogs of the monks in your temple without leaving a river of blood, huh?" ”

The abbot closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin." Song Zixian knew that he was not afraid of death, so he took out his sword and put it on the monk's neck, and the little monks behind him sat on the spot one after another and began to close their eyes and chant. Song Zixian was a little annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "If you don't say it again, I really killed people and set fires, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to kill people in front of gods and Buddhas!" I'm in a hurry, the king of heaven dares to kill! ”

"Stop!" This is someone shouting in the backyard, Song Zixian was stunned when he heard this, and the voice sounded like Hou Jing himself, sure enough, Hou Jing was wearing a civilian dress of ordinary people, and behind him were Yang Kun and two attendants, they were all dressed in disguise. I saw Hou Jing limping forward, looking at Song Zixian angrily and said, "What are you going to do?" Are you rebelling? ”

Song Zixian put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, and said stupidly: "General, I am also a last resort, in the past, you took us to fight the world and go south and north, and our brothers followed you without ambiguity, but now you have a hot kang head with your wife and children every day, and you almost forget your brothers." Hou Jing scolded angrily: "So you rebelled? What are you trying to do? Want to kill me? ”

In the face of Hou Jing's aggressiveness, Song Zixian felt weak for no reason, and he felt that he still had no confidence to face Hou Jinggang. Zhang Huaren also rushed in with people at this time, shouting: "Where is the general, the last general has something to say." Hou Jing scolded loudly: "Raised by a son of a bitch, Lao Tzu is here, are you going to rebel too?" Zhang Huaren hurriedly trotted over and said: "General, the little ones have nothing to do to make this decision, you have no fighting spirit now, you are with that princess every day, you don't come in the barracks, the brothers are cold." ”

Hou Jing stepped forward and pretended to kick him, raised his lame leg to make a appearance, and said with a very fierce look on his face: "Fuck you, when did Lao Tzu say that he would not return to the barracks, I don't have to worry about a few of you here, what else is there to go?" If you really want to find me, come to my house or this Qingliang Temple. Zhang Huaren snorted and cried, Yang Kun and Song Zixian saw it in their eyes, and said in their hearts: I really know how to act, this is a mutual acting.

Song Zixian saluted Hou Jing and said: "Our brother is here this time to invite the general to return to the camp to preside over military affairs, and take us back to Jiankang as soon as possible to recapture Taicheng, general, can you understand the painstaking efforts of the brothers?" He was afraid that Hou Jingqiu would settle accounts and wanted him to express his position in front of everyone. Hou Jing couldn't hear his voice when he heard this, but at present, after all, Song Zixian was holding a knife in his hand, and Hou Jing was still worried that they would find trouble with the princess, so he laughed dryly and said: "You are all old subordinates who have followed me Hou Jing for many years, will I not understand your thoughts?" Don't worry, I'll have a meeting with you when I get back and discuss what to do in the future. "This is Hou Jing's delaying tactic.

Song Zixian was not a fool, and immediately said: "Since the general has promised the brothers, it will be easy to do, come and escort the princess and the prince back to the city." When Hou Jingyan heard that he was going to take hostages, he immediately turned his face and said, "I will send someone to escort the princess and the son, so you don't have to bother." Song Zixian also didn't give an inch: "I'm afraid that this matter is beyond the general." ”

Hou Jing scolded: "I think you are going to rebel!" Song Zixian was not to be outdone: "The last general is just expressing his heart for the soldiers, and asking the general to stay away from the princess, this woman has been trying to bewitch you for a day or two." Hou Jing jumped up and scolded: "Damn, I think you don't have a wife to envy and envy me, if you dare to hold the princess hostage, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you now?" ”

Song Zixian suddenly burst into tears when he heard this: "Lord, my general, you can suspect me of being disloyal, you can doubt my character, but you can't say that I envy you for having a family and a wife and children, we people originally had no family and wife and children in Jiangbei, but now that we have followed you to Jiangnan, the original family has been destroyed, and my wife and children have been slaughtered." Not only can you not understand the pain in our hearts, but you also say that we are envious, jealous and hateful? Song Zixian's words made the soldiers present who were originally Jiangbei bow their heads and cry, they were homesick, and they missed their fathers, wives, children, brothers, sons and nephews at home.

Hou Jing was dumbfounded by what he said, and said in his heart, when did this grandson learn to sensationalize, this acting skills improved very quickly. At this time, Song Zixian raised his head and said to Hou Jingzhengse: "In order for you to take us back to the Central Plains as soon as possible, I can only take care of the princess and the little prince for you without authorization. Hou Jing ran to the door of the backyard and stopped the soldiers and shouted: "I see who dares!" You are forcing the palace, this is a rebellion! ”

Song Zixian waved his hand, and two tall military men stepped forward to set up Hou Jing, Yang Kun hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of Hou Jing, pulled out the sword in his hand and said loudly: "Who dares to be presumptuous? I don't recognize the sword in my hand! Song Zixian looked at him and scolded: "Lao Tzu has long seen that your grandson is not pleasing to the eye, give it to me, don't worry about him!" The sergeants took up their weapons and pressed forward.

Yang Kun shouted and rushed up and stabbed a soldier to death with a sword, and Song Zixian shouted: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, kill him for me." Hou Jing was louder than him, and scolded loudly: "Lao Tzu sees that you are the opposite, who dares to move, I am the general Hou Jing, now everyone is listening, all put down their weapons and withdraw from the temple, I, Hou Jing, swear not to blame the past." Otherwise, you're all guilty of your capital offenses. ”

Song Zixian also had red eyes at this time, and said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Listen to me, except for the general, kill all the others!" The soldiers looked at Hou Jing and then at Song Zixian, but no one moved. At this time, Song Zixian said: "If you want to save your life, you'd better listen to me, otherwise everyone will die together." "The soldiers understand that Hou Jing is likely to settle accounts after the autumn, as long as no one speaks for them, they will definitely die on time, since they have rebelled, they simply rebel completely.

Yang Kun was soon surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and the two guards were deeply encircled, only Hou Jing fled to the backyard with a sword to block a door to prevent people from approaching, Song Zixian rushed over with people, and he said to Hou Jing who was standing at the door: "General, please forgive the feelings of the brothers, give us a way, you can rest assured, we will not do anything to the princess and the little prince." ”

Hou Jing didn't expect that he would fall into such a desperate situation, he fought with Gao Huan and Xiao Duo before, but he had never been so embarrassed as today, at this time he was reluctant to give up his youngest son Hou Yu, so he begged Song Zixian and said: "Zixian, I don't treat you alone, why do you have to kill me all?" Song Zixian said with a free expression: "General, we are also out of helplessness, the princess is not dead, you will not lead the brothers with peace of mind, besides, we have fallen to the point where we are now, and it has something to do with her, if it weren't for her brothers, we would have occupied the entire Jiangling a long time ago, how could we survive in this wild place like a lost dog?" ”

Hou Jing said angrily: "You bastard, she has been with us all the time, how can you settle the account on her head because of her brother's affairs?" You're just crazy! If anyone wants to enter this house today, they will step over the corpses of my Hou Jing'er and others! Song Zixian held the sword in his hand and said very calmly: "General, don't force us. Hou Jing also begged for mercy in a low voice: "Then don't force me." I beg you, I am now this one son, how can I live without him? ”

Song Zixian said: "General, you still taught me, eradicate the grass and eradicate the roots." How can you hope that this child will not hold a grudge against us when he grows up, and will not avenge his mother, so, general, today you can only cut your love. As the saying goes, a rabbit bites when it is in a hurry, not to mention that Hou Jing is a lone wolf, his eyes widened and he scolded loudly: "Damn, you are also deceiving people too much, Lao Tzu begged you like this, and you still want to kill my family?!" I'm fighting with you! ”

Song Zixian waved his hand and said, "Someone will bring the general down." After speaking, some soldiers stepped forward to set up Hou Jing, only to see the sword in his hand dancing and shouting: "Who dares to come up, the sword in Lao Tzu's hand is not long-eyed!" Song Zixian was obviously very impatient, Hou Jing didn't have the demeanor of a general at the moment, like a bad old man, which made him feel very unappetizing. He said loudly: "General, please give up your family for our brothers, we also have family, don't we also give up for your great cause?" ”

Hou Jing was also furious at this time, picked up the sword and came directly at Song Zixian, shouting: "Lao Tzu will kill you first, a thief!" I don't know if it was too slippery on the ground or Song Zixian deliberately pulled out the sword, but I saw that Hou Jing's lame leg didn't stand firm and hit the sword in Song Zixian's hand directly, and with a thud, the sword had pierced Hou Jing's body. I saw a frightened look on his face, bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, and his hands were tightly trying to grab Song Zixian's body.

Song Zixian watched him slowly fall down expressionlessly, without the slightest intention of catching him. Hou Jing fell to the ground sideways and said to Song Zixian: "Let my wife and children go, otherwise...... Otherwise, I will be a ghost, ......" Before he finished speaking, Song Zixian came down and pulled out a dagger and thrust it into his chest, covered Hou Jing's mouth with his other hand, and said slowly: "Go, general, soon I will let them accompany you." Hou Jing stared at him indifferently, and the hands that had been holding him tightly gradually lost their strength.

Yang Kun saw Song Zixian kill Hou Jing, and said loudly: "Song Zixian, you traitor, dare to commit the murder of the king!" Saying that, he rushed towards him, but his goal was not to kill Song Zixian, but to shake him directly and push open the door, and then close it with his hand, and brought a table behind the door, and Princess Luyang, who was hiding behind the screen, cried to Yang Kun with a pear blossom and rain on her face at this time, holding Hou Yu in her arms: "General, please save our mother and son." ”

Song Zixian outside the door asked people to slam the door, and shouted loudly: "Yang Kun, you are all going to die here today, you who know each other come out by yourself, I can save you from death." Yang Kun turned around and quickly pushed open the back window, but fortunately there was no one here to guard it, so he stretched out his hand and said to Princess Luyang: "Quick, princess, go this way." He lifted the princess's ass and pushed it up, so that she could climb out of the window, and at this time he didn't care whether the man or woman could kiss or not, and it was important to run for her life.

The two of them ran into the woods in the back garden one after the other with their low bodies, and at this time Song Zixian had already knocked open the door, did not find him, and was shouting loudly that the soldiers were scattered, it seems that he must kill Princess Luyang's mother and son today. Princess Luyang stumbled behind Yang Kun all the way with the child in her arms, and the pursuers behind were looking for him everywhere, but at this time, the child in her arms suddenly woke up and began to cry. Seeing this, Princess Luyang pushed the child into Yang Kun's arms and said: "Today it seems that I am in a catastrophe, this child is the only blood and blood of the general in this world, and I will entrust it to the general today, and I hope that the general can fulfill his promise and take good care of this poor child for the general and me." ”

Yang Kun was overwhelmed by her height, where would he take any child, and was about to refuse, Princess Luyang was worthy of being Xiao Yan's daughter, and immediately decided: "Today's thief is destined to take my life, there is no way for the two of us to escape, if I go out to attract their attention, the general takes the opportunity to escape with my child, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, please don't hesitate." With that, he put the crying child to the ground, and walked in the direction of the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
