Chapter 42: The Return
Wan Linggen first sent a team of 1,000 people back to Kaifeng City, and there was that "King of Chu" Zhang Bangchang in the city, he didn't know what that guy would do, so it was safer to investigate first. The others then packed up their things and began to return to the city, but since the second emperor of Huiqin announced his abdication, he hid in a small sedan car and refused to take a step, let alone see anyone.
It was relatively easy to return to the city, and Wan Linggen and Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Li Ruoshui and others walked side by side. He didn't care about others, but Qin Hui, the future prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty next to him, surprised him, and others occasionally chatted a few words, only he frowned and didn't say a word.
"Lord Qin, do you have something on your mind?" Wan Linggen asked casually.
"If you don't see the outside world, call me Brother Qin." Qin Hui smiled, looking a little lonely.
"Okay, then don't open your mouth and close your mouth to Ma Ye." Wan Linggen smiled: "Brother Qin, you are not a relative of the emperor, why were you also taken captive by the Jin people?" ”
Qin Hui snorted and said, "Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng actually wants to set up a different surname as the king of Chu, and this person is still Zhang Bangchang, how can this be done?" If you want to stand, you have to set up the Zhao family! I went to the Jin camp to argue with the book, but they arrested me and met Brother Ruoshui. ”
Wan Linggen looked at Li Ruoshui, "Is Brother Li the same?" ”
Li Ruoshui smiled bitterly: "I'm different. On the same day, he and the two emperors went to Jinying to negotiate peace, and Wanyan Zonghan actually asked the second emperor to take off his dragon robe, and I fought hard to provoke Wanyan Zonghan to want to kill me several times, and then he made a statement to solicit me, but I refused. Later, they sent me to Taiyuan Mansion, this time to let me go to Yanyun with those hostages. ”
Wan Linggen nodded, stared ahead, and said no more. Suddenly, his expression changed, he raised his hand to restrain the horse's reins, and frowned: "There is someone ahead!" ”
Seeing him like this, Uncle Zhang asked nervously, "Who is it?" ”
Wan Linggen shook his head, "I don't know who it is, there are about a few thousand people, and the leader is an old man." ”
Several people looked forward desperately, but they couldn't see anything, and they couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
Wan Linggen looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "There seems to be a sect character on that big flag. ”
Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Do you see that there is a tiger head sign on his military flag?" ”
Wan Linggen looked at it carefully again, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Uncle Zhang and the others were overjoyed: "It's the old man who has arrived!" ”
"Old man?" Seeing that they were so excited, Wan Linggen asked puzzledly, "Who is the old man?" ”
Uncle Zhang laughed and said: "Attached to the horse, the old man is the famous old general of Zongzezong in our Great Song Dynasty!" ”
Qin Hui finally had a smile on his face, "Since the old man is here, does that mean that King Kang is not far away?" ”
Li Ruoshui said with a smile: "Don't worry, King Kang is an extremely cautious person, it is estimated that he asked the old man to come over to explore the truth." ”
For Zong Ze, Wan Linggen only heard a little, and he didn't study the history of the Song Dynasty seriously at that time, and he was impressed by a few literati, that is, the Qin Hui and Yue Fei, who had not yet met, and a few other people, but the impression that this Qin Hui gave him completely subverted the previous inherent ideas, and I don't know what this old general Zong Ze would be like. Thinking like this, there is a faint expectation in my heart.
Everyone stood quietly for a long time, but there was no movement, Li Ruoshui was a little breathless, "Brother Wan, are you mistaken, according to the visual distance, you should be able to see the army now?" ”
Wan Linggen did not speak.
At this moment, two people ran back in front of them, and they were the scouts who had been sent out. The two of them came to the front, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Big marshal, a large group of people and horses were found five miles ahead, and it was the old general Zongze who arrived." ”
Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Wan Linggen with an unbelievable expression, Wuli? Can a man's eye see a battle flag five miles away?
Wan Linggen turned sideways and asked, "Lao Zhang, according to your rules, should we wait for him here, or go over to see him?" ”
Uncle Zhang had just recovered from the shock, thought for a moment and said, "We can't go over to see the old general," he said, looking back at the sedan chairs that were being tightly guarded, "It's not in line with the courtesy." He turned back to the two tanma and instructed: "You go again, inform the old general Zong, just say that the second emperor is here, let him come and meet." ”
The probe horse answered, got up on his horse, and galloped away.
Qin Hui kept looking at Wan Linggen, "Brother Wan, you ...... Are you really the god of thunder? ”
Wan Linggen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where do you think I look like a fairy? If I really have the magic power of the gods, let all those golden people go back to the outside of the gate, and never be allowed to step into the Central Plains for half a step, why bother to work so hard? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Li Ruoshui said: "Brother Wan really has divine eyes, can he see things five miles away?" ”
Wan Linggen smiled bitterly again, he didn't know how to explain his pair of super eyes to make them believe, even in the era in which he lived, it was difficult to win people's trust, let alone the present, which was nearly a thousand years away?
Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it when he saw him embarrassed at night, and said with a smile: "There are so many strange people in this world, but we haven't seen it." ”
Li Ruoshui sighed: "Why haven't you seen it?" Isn't that Guo Jing counted as one? ”
As soon as Guo Jing was mentioned, everyone's faces showed disdain, but Wan Linggen heard Guo Jing as Guo Jing, and suddenly said in surprise: "Guo Jing?" Could it be that there is such a person? ”
Qin Hui said with a smile: "Brother Wan heard it wrong, it's Guo Jing, not Guo Jing." ”
He was about to inquire about who it was, when smoke and dust were billowed not far away, hooves rumbled, and the earth seemed to tremble.
"The old general has arrived, let's greet him!" Uncle Zhang rushed out first, and several other people followed, but Wan Linggen stood still and did not move.
In the blink of an eye, a cavalry of about 2,000 men appeared in front of him, and the men on the horses were all brightly armored and solemn. Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, Li Ruoshui and others surrounded a tall old general and walked over in front of him.
Wan Linggen watched with his eyes, and saw that this person was one meter eight tall, although his beard and hair were white, but his eyes were blazing, his nose was straight and his mouth was wide, but his cheeks were collapsed, and he looked a little haggard. Even so, he still can't hide the domineering spirit that emanates from the inside out of his body.
The cavalry came to the front and stopped two meters away, Wan Linggen hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and stood respectfully beside him.
Zong Ze and the others also turned over and dismounted, his tiger eyes glanced at Wan Linggen, who was standing on his side, and asked in a loud voice, "Where is the second emperor?" ”
