The sound of horses' hooves came from the south and became louder. Listening to the sound, more than 100 riders came together, but they were not very eager, and the sound of the horses' hooves falling to the ground sounded unhurried.

In fact, the road from Gangneung Wharf to Gangneung Fucheng is not fast at all, and there are military camps on both sides of the road. Without exception, the gates of the camp are open to the main road, and the doors are full of traders and traders and resistant fans who deal in the skin and meat business. The business is very prosperous, groups of officers and non-commissioned officers come in and out, from time to time in front of various transactions outside the gate to linger and consume, and the large number of people can be described as a sea of people. I don't know, I thought it was in the middle of the city.

As for the military leaders of the major battalions in Gangneung, they did not know how to rectify military discipline, in fact, most of them were not in the camp, but lived in mansions in Gangneung Province. Either playing with concubines and singers in the comfort nest, or walking with each other, planning to reap a few more benefits in this unfinished battle - the Great Song Dynasty's use of literature to control martial arts has long been in the hearts of the people, not only civil officials think that they are naturally noble, they should crush the martial arts, but even the vast majority of the martial artists have accepted their fate. I don't want to do anything, I know my wealth and happiness. Now that Möngke Khan has been defeated and killed, Kublai Khan and Moge, the two Tartar kings, are seeking peace, and they are going north to compete for the throne. In this Great Song Dynasty, there will always be a ten years of stable life. The officials and prime ministers of Lin'an are afraid that they will soon take over the military power of the military ministers. At this time, if anyone puts their minds on military affairs anymore, they will not let people be regarded as ambitious? It's better to be rich and happy in Gangneung Mansion, anyway, the wealth of the rest of their lives is not in military affairs.

Therefore, the armies stationed outside the city of Gangneung Mansion are decaying at a speed that can be observed with the naked eye these days. And the Xuanfu Xianggong in the city of Jiangling Mansion also turned a deaf ear. Blind eye.

Today, I don't know what's going on, and such a team of sturdy knights suddenly appeared. Everyone wears armor, and it is not the armor of the Great Song Dynasty. It's the willow leaf armor and cast iron helmet of the Mongolian cowardly Xue army! He also carried a knotty scimitar and an antelope horn bow around his waist.

From a distance, I thought it was Kublai Khan, the Mongolian prince who had won the pass, sent an envoy to Jiangling. But the knights did not come from the north, but from the wharf by the river. They did not fly the banner of the Mongols, but a banner of the Chen character with black letters on a red background.

At the gate of the city, there were already more than a dozen strong men in brocade clothes, surrounded by a black-faced man in a green official uniform and a carriage, waiting for a long time. Seeing more than 100 riders coming "Cowardly Xue", one of the men greeted him from afar: "But Chen Gongwei and his party? ”

The elected "cowardly Xue" also rode out: "It is Chen Gongwei!" ”

Gong Weilang, surnamed Chen, has a lot of fighting in the Great Song Dynasty, but he can equip his own guards with a complete set of cowardly Xue Jun's outfits and high-headed horses. There is only the right to control the Thunderbolt Navy in front of the Emperor, Gong Weilang, and Chen Dexing with imperial equipment.

The black-faced man surrounded by everyone was Lu Shihu, the deputy commander of the Thunderbolt Water Army. He went to the city gate today to greet Chen Dexing, who had come to Jiangling from the camp on Guangyang Island. I had already prepared a belly of words, there were congratulations, reminders, and beatings. But now when I see these more than 100 riders "cowardly", I can't say a word about this belly.

Although Lu Shihu, who was born in Jiangmen, did not put his mind into leading troops, he still had vision. Although there are only more than 100 rides in front of me. But as soon as they stopped here, Lu Shihu could feel a chilling murderous aura - these knights, who were silent, who only looked at people with cold eyes, and seemed to be indifferent to the prosperous and lively street markets around them. They are all brave men who have been killed in the war!

The cowardly Xue army's outfit on their bodies should have been plucked from the dead man, the real cowardly Xue Jun! War horses under their crotch, needless to say. It turns out that it also belongs to the invincible Mongolian iron horse!

Such an army...... Can you also control it yourself? Lu Shihu suddenly had an answer in his heart - no! This is not an army that he Lu Shihu can control at all! Not only could he Lu Shihu not be able to control it, but he let Lu Wende go out in person. I can't control these people brought out by Chen Dexing!

More than 100 riders "Cowardly Xue" stopped their mounts and said nothing. Just looked at Lu Shihu and his Yuan Sui coldly. After a while, I saw a giant man riding forward, and a giant man on horseback had taken off his helmet, it was Chen Dexing.

"Dismount!" Chen Dexing gave an order, and everyone dismounted. Chen Dexing also jumped off his horse and handed the reins to a personal guard. Only then did he step forward and hugged Lu Shihu and said, "Brother Muban, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

When Lu Shihu heard this, his face turned slightly red. As the deputy commander of the Perak Water Army, he was rarely in the military camp, either accompanying Lu Wende in Chongqing Mansion or going to Jiangling Mansion to drill camp in Jia Rudao. The relationship in all aspects is extremely mellow, that is, he has less contact with the officers and soldiers of the Perak Navy, and he has not participated in the two battles of Nantuochang and Moshiling.

"Brother Qingzhi, your soldiers are really majestic!" Lu Shihu praised sourly, and sighed again, "If there are tens of thousands of such soldiers, why would my Great Song Dynasty use New Year's coins to buy peace?" ”

"Can you give the coins?" Chen Dexing frowned slightly when he heard the word "year coin".

"Where can it be so fast." Lu Shihu entered the city gate side by side with Chen Dexing with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked, "The Tartar lion opened his mouth widely, asking for 1 million pieces of copper and 1 million horses of silk, and Xuanfu Xianggong's mouth was worn out before it was returned to 500,000 pieces of copper and 500,000 horses of silk...... However, the Tartar offered to pay the three-year coin at once before he would leave. That's 1.5 million pieces of copper and 1.5 million pieces of silk! Where is there so much money in the Jinghu Restaurant? They all have to be transported from Lin'an, and most of them have to move the goods in the official pile sealing warehouse. ”

Chen Dexing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay...... I came in time, if the 3 million coins were given, it would not be a good thing. ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Shihu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "If you don't give these coins, can the Tartars retreat?" Qingzhi, don't you still want to fight? His brows furrowed, "This peace situation is the top priority of the national dynasty, don't do it too much!" ”

Chen Dexing smiled: "It is precisely for this tie that the 3 million coins cannot be given out at one time, otherwise this tie will last for a year!" He paused for a moment, looked at Lu Shihu and said, "Brother Muban, can Xuanfu Xianggong be in Jiangling?" ”

"It's in Gangneung."

Chen Dexing smiled, and pointed to Li Cuixian, who was dressed in cowardly Xue Xing and dressed as a man behind him: "Okay, let's ask Brother Mu Ban to lead the younger brother and Princess Baoyin, the daughter of Guiyou Khan, to meet." ”

……

A shoulder was directly into the Xuanfu Division, and only stopped at the door of the flower hall in the back house. On top of the shoulder, sitting was Li Cuixian, who came to Gangneung in the name of Baoyin Temur. Although this real Baoyin Temur was miserable in Chen Dexing's back house, the "fake Baoyin" was immediately worth a bullish price when it arrived in Jiangling Mansion. How dare Lu Shihu snub the princess of the Mongol Empire? immediately invited her to her house, and asked the concubine who came to Jiangling to bring her silk clothes to change, and then carried her to Xuanfu Si to see Jia Rudao.

Jia Rudao greeted him outside the flower hall, wearing official clothes and long legs. Waiting for Chen Dexing and the Mongolian princess he brought with him, Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy Pu Zhizhi, who had already reported that Princess Baoyin might be captured by Chen Dexing, Jia Rudao also sent a letter to Guangyang Island to inquire, and the reply he received was only "verifying". I thought I wouldn't be able to find out, but I didn't expect Chen Dexing to bring Princess Baoyin. I heard that this princess Baoyin is very beautiful, and I don't know if she has been insulted by Chen Dexing......

Jiang Wanli and Liao Yingzhong are both beside Jia Yidao, Jiang Wanli is wearing a purple fish bag, and Liao Yingzhong is wearing a scarlet official uniform, and they have obviously been promoted. Both of them had cordial smiles on their faces and greeted Chen Dexing, who was arrogant.

Chen Dexing saw Jia Rudao at the door of the flower hall at a glance, and he wanted to make a big gift at the moment. Jia Rudao said: "Qingzhi doesn't need to be polite, it won't be long before you are the Chengxuan of the three products, and you are about the same age as the old man." ”

Jia seemed to be polite, and Chen Dexing was exempted from kneeling, but just crossed his hands and said: "The lower officials can have today, thanks to the love of the minister." ”

Jia Rudao waved his hand indifferently: "That's because you know how to fight, and the old man is right." Saying this, he turned his head to look at the "fake Baoyin", and a surprised expression suddenly flashed on his face, but it was covered up in an instant. "This lady is Princess Baoyin, the daughter of Guiyu Khan?"

He naturally recognized the so-called Princess Baoyin as Li Cuixian, but he couldn't debunk it on the spot.

Li Cuixian smiled reluctantly, and opened her mouth in stiff Chinese: "The little woman is Baoyin." ”

Chen Dexing also pointed at her and said: "She mixed in with a bunch of vulgar women, and worked as a washerwoman in the camp for two months, but she suffered. Seven days ago, he was found to be in a certain house and sent to a certain house. A certain family saw that she had a good temperament, and when they asked, they found out that it was the daughter of Gui Youhan. ”

Jia Yidao glanced at Li Cuixian, who had a wry smile on his face, stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are really offended." ”

Li Cuixian smiled and glanced at Chen Dexing: "The little woman was originally captured by General Chen from the battlefield, so she naturally let it be disposed of, and where did the offense come from." ”

This was a little ambiguous, but Chen Dexing smiled indifferently, took over the topic and said: "Xianggong, Xia Guan also asked this princess Baoyin about some facts about Mongolia. He paused slightly, bowed, and accentuated his tone: "This is true and real, it has to do with whether the peace between Mongolia and Song can last, and whether the Song Dynasty is safe or not.
