A few days later, Ouyang corrected the shade of the tree and was 'playing double land' with Goro. This is an extremely popular board game in this era.

A backgammon consists of a chessboard with fifteen black and white pieces and two dice. When playing, the first two dice are rolled, and the dice are few, and then a few steps are made. The first to cross all of your own pieces and fall to the bottom line is a complete victory.

Because this kind of chess game has a large range of advance and retreat, and the victory and defeat are easy to change, it has a strong interest and chance, and it is inseparable from strategy, so the Song people are very keen on this kind of game regardless of level. Unexpectedly, Wulang turned out to be a master of this way, and he was inseparable from Ouyang Xiu, Chen Ke and Song Duanping were also on the side, watching and coaxing.

Monk Xuanyu, who was talking and laughing and meditating on the side, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "A group of people on horseback has entered the village. ”

San Lang and Song Duanping Huo had to stand up, and Goro also dropped the dice and stood up.

"Sit down," Ouyang Xiu scolded with a smile: "Don't be surprised, even if those villains eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they won't dare to come to the old man's door to commit murder." ”

Chen Ke didn't have the confidence he had, and he took out a blade from under the table...... Qing Yishui's iron straight knife, this is the saber of the Japanese army, snatched from the hands of Xiaoguansuo and a few people.

Looking at the few boys who were holding Xueliang blades and waiting for battle, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What a gang of violent elements. ’

Climb the wall. Looking out from the courtyard wall of the ancestral hall, they saw dozens of cavalry coming from the country road, Chen Ke and they breathed a sigh of relief, if they came to arrest people, they would not be so unhurried, and they were afraid of stepping on the crops.

When the knights approached, they saw that the leader was a young man in a white robe, who was asking for something. After a while, he turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the ancestral hall where everyone was, with only two attendants.

"It seems to be the son of a general." Chen Ke let go of his hand and said, "I guess I'm here to visit Ouyang Gong." ”

"It's so painful to be a celebrity." Ouyang Xiu twisted his beard and said, "Help me block it." ”

"Okay." Chen Ke walked out, and just at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he met the young man in white shirt. He couldn't help but be stunned, this kid is so good-looking...... In the sun, the eyebrows, the face, the freehand demeanor, and the snow-white clothes are all dazzling, and he is really a rare beautiful man in the world.

Chen Ke can be said to have read countless people, and he is also a handsome guy, but compared with this young man, he found that he looked too improvised. What is the posture of heaven and man? What does it mean to be dashing out of the dust? What does it mean to be like a fairy? Look at this kid, you know it all.

The young man had long been accustomed to being looked at so rudely, he smiled gently, and sang: "This brother is invited, little brother Di Yong, on the order of his father, came to visit Ouyang Gong, may I ask, is he at home?" ”

"Di Yong......" Chen Ke's eyes widened and said, "Ling Zun is?" ”

"My father's name is not mentioned either, and he is called Di Hanchen."

'The second son of the Di Qing family! Chen Ke suddenly said that it was no wonder, it turned out to be a 'human appearance'.

Di Qing has been known as the first beautiful man in the Great Song Dynasty for many years, and later this title was taken away by his second son. Di Yonghao saw to what extent, known as the 'human appearance' of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Later, I'll report it." Chen Ke turned around and walked inside, and said secretly depressedly: "This kid, don't let other male compatriots live......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the ceremony, Di Yong was invited in and solemnly saluted Ouyang Xiu, and he presented Di Qing's gifts and handwritten letters.

After opening the letter, Ouyang Xiu said to Chen Ke: "Marshal Di, please follow his second son back." ”

"We?" Chen Ke was surprised: "How could Marshal Di know about us?" ”

"Hehe, my father is also acting on orders." Di Yong smiled brightly: "Your nobleman asks us to ensure your safety." ”

"......" Chen Ke looked at Ouyang Xiu, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "Let's clean up and go with you." ”

When a few people entered the inner room, they saw Zhao Zongji standing there with a gloomy face. He and Di Yong knew each other, so it was inconvenient to go out to see each other, but he heard everything he said outside.

Chen Ke and the others were also gloomy, and everyone understood that the time had come to separate...... The little prince and them came here to make a difference, or because Ouyang Xiu was worried in this poor and remote country. Don't take the risk of making a big deal and meet Di Qing again.

"There is no feast in the world." Chen Ke was the most free, patted Zhao Zongji's shoulder and said, "How do you go back?" ”

"You don't have to worry," Zhao Zongji said softly: "My guards have already been found, but they just understand that it is not easy for me to come out, so they have not come to disturb." ”

"Then rest assured." Chen Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where do you go next and see if we can meet?" ”

"I'm not going anywhere, if I hadn't run out, we would have returned to Beijing a long time ago." Zhao Zongji also got rid of his sadness. smiled bitterly: "After I go back, I can't say that I will be grounded." ”

"The treatment of the golden branches and jade leaves is different," Chen Ke said with a smile: "If it were us, we would be beaten to the point that our butts would bloom." ”

"I really envy you for being able to travel all the time and increase your knowledge." Zhao Zongji sighed and said, "You have to write to me often to inform me of your recent situation." ”

"No problem." Song Duanping said with a smile: "Next time the big competition, we will go to the capital to catch the exam, and when the time comes, don't forget your promise." ”

"No problem." Zhao Zongji said with a smile: "I promise to take you all over, eat, and play all over Bianliang City!" ”

"There will be a date later." Chen Ke hugged Zhao Zongji one by one.

"There will be a date later." Zhao Zongji's eyes turned red, although there will be no more such days in this life, but such friends can always be with them......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Five days after leaving Luling, Chen Ke and others followed Na Di Yong and joined the 30,000 Western Army led by Marshal Di outside Changsha. These 30,000 troops were the main force that Di Qing used to quell the rebellion, although there were not many of them, they were the strongest army in the Great Song Dynasty.

Generally divided, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into the forbidden army and the box army. The forbidden army, which was the main force in the army, was also divided into three parts: the Hebei Army, the Western Army, and the Beijing Camp. As for the southern routes, all the forbidden armies taken together are not as numerous as any of the three above.

Originally, among the three divisions, the Western Army was the weakest, but after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Hebei Army quickly corrupted, and the Beijing camp was reduced to a showmanship earlier. Only the Western Army, whether it was the Four-Way Regular Army, or other Fan soldiers, Qiangqiang, and Bow and Arrow Society, maintained strong combat effectiveness in the fierce battles with the Western Xia and Qingtang Zhuqiang.

This is an army that can fight hard, dare to sacrifice, go deep into the Hanhai Gobi for more than 1,000 miles to do field battles, and open up territory for the Great Song Dynasty! So the emperor asked Di Qing to select troops, and he did not hesitate to order them.

However, the military discipline of the Western Army is poor, and even Chen Ke has long heard of it. But when he stepped into this camp that was set up according to the city, he was surprised to find that not only the horses and ditches outside the wall were set up meticulously, but also the military tents in the camp were set up in accordance with the direction of the gossip and the rules and regulations...... It is not obvious at all that this is only a temporary landing during the march. Although there were many sergeants in the battalion, none of them made any noise, but they all marched forward and formed their own troops in an orderly manner, and never encroached on the galloping road for the cavalry to enter and exit.

This is the real army, Chen Ke not only secretly admired. Especially compared with the retreating Liangguang army in Hengzhou City, it is simply a cloud.

In fact, the Western Army is still the Western Army, and the old problem of not obeying military discipline can't be changed, but under whose command, in Di Qing's hands, these unruly Guan Long men have all become obedient boys...... This is not only because of his prestige and military discipline, but also because the brothers of the Western Army are holding back their strength to praise Marshal Di and raise their eyebrows to the fighting men!

Chen Ke and the others naturally couldn't understand these subtle things, they only felt that walking in this camp was like walking on thin ice, dignified and vigilant, and before they reached the tent of the Chinese army, the awe of Marshal Di Qingdi was already like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly.

Coming to a heavily guarded tent, Di Yong asked them to wait, went in and said, Shaoqing turned back and said: "The marshal is deliberating, please go to see Chen Zhixian first." ”

"Did my dad really release it?" On the way, Chen Ke and they asked Di Yong about this, Di Yong didn't know, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the barracks, he heard such a big good news.

followed Di Yong to a nearby camp tent, and met Chen Xiliang, who was dressed in a Confucian robe, and came out to pour water.

Seeing Chen Ke and seeing Wulang, as soon as he let go, the copper basin fell to the ground.

Chen Ke and Goro's eyes also turned red.

They once thought that this life would be separated forever by yin and yang. finally met at this moment, although he didn't hold his head and cry, Chen Xiliang grabbed San Lang with one hand and Wulang with the other, and he didn't let go for a long time.

The father and son walked into the tent, Chen Ke introduced Xuanyu and Di Yong, Chen Xiliang sincerely thanked Di Yong and said: "This time my father and son can reunite, thanks to the protection of the marshal, I want to thank him in person, and ask the second son to convey it on his behalf." ”

"Definitely." Di Yong got up and sang: "Chen Daling father and son reunite, there must be a lot to say, the last general will retire first, and come to visit later." ”

When Na Di Yong left, the father and son recounted their feelings after parting. Soon after Song Duanping visited the camp, Chen Xiliang was interrogated for several days, at first he was knocked on the side, and later, he directly asked about the whereabouts of the account books. But Chen Xiliang still insisted that he had never seen it, and no matter how tortured the other party, he didn't let go.

Fortunately, because of his status as a civil official, the other party didn't dare to go too far, so he didn't leave any scars. Later, the commander of the Western Army, with the order of Marshal Di, suddenly descended on Hengyang County a few days ahead of the large army. I can't help but say that I mentioned him here, and I just arrived yesterday.
