It is said that Yizhi and Maitia temporarily lived in Qingjian City, and learned that Huang Dehe framed Liu Ping's case, and was anxious to hold himself, and Zhong Shiheng, a loyal man, learned the details, and ordered Zhong Yuhe to go to Hezhong Mansion to inquire about the news, which was at least two or three days away.

One day, Memories walked out of the house with Matia, only to see the sun shining, the earth was covered with a layer of golden sweaters, and a group of women and children were gathered around the spacious part of the road, among them was a child, who was bending his bow and shooting arrows, he closed his eyes, aimed at the ground very accurately, and shot out, and won back a string of shining copper coins, which caused the crowd to cheer, and the soldier who guarded the target gave the reward to the children, and then hung a string of them.

Yi Zhi unconsciously sighed: "Zhong Cheng is really a figure, making such a method to encourage the whole people to practice the art of bow shooting." ”

Maitia smiled: "This is not only that, Zhong Chengshi also led the city to reclaim a large area of fertile land, and the land here does not need to pay taxes to the imperial court, and the income is his own, this time, he may be on the grange outside the city." ”

Memories asked, "Do what, overseer?" ”

Maitia shook her head and said, "What about entertainment, the battle of Song and Xia closed the field." He traveled far and wide, rented out all the fields, and used them to recruit merchants from the border, which enriched the government and gave them a livelihood. ”

Remembering Nahan said: "It's really a stake. ”

Suddenly, I heard a girl in the distance calling Metiah, and when I looked at it, I saw a group of girls drawing patterns around the low table, and Matia smiled: "They all like Uighur patterns, and they feel fresh, and they have been pestering me these days." ”

Yizhi smiled: "You go play, I'm just going to walk around, don't worry." ”

Mattia nodded and went off with a smile.

Memories walked along the road, along the road you can see pharmacies, rice and noodle shops, and there are primary schools, medical halls, book houses, miscellaneous shop mats, etc. Seeing the city gate again, Zhong Shiheng slipped off the saddle, and before he could stand still, a woman passed by with her mother carrying a basket of flowers, and when she saw Zhong Shiheng, she suddenly smiled slyly, hid behind him, reached out and patted his left shoulder, Zhong Shiheng looked to the left side, and the woman quickly hid to his right hand and patted his right shoulder. Zhong Shiheng looked to the right side again, and the woman quickly hid to his left hand side again.

Zhong Shiheng came to his senses, quickly swung his head, and looked to the left, the woman twisted a flower from the basket and put it to his lips, and everyone laughed for a while.

Zhong Shiheng took the flower to thank him, and the woman smiled sweetly, said goodbye to him, and left with her mother in her arms.

Yizhi remembered his days in Bianjing, and felt like a world away.

Zhong Shiheng smelled the flowers and walked forward, and when he saw the stunned Yizhi, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, it's a good day today, it's time to come out for a walk." ”

Memories smiled.

Zhong Shiheng smiled, suddenly thought, handed the flower to Yizhi, and said, "I'll send it to you." He felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "Take it back and insert it in a bottle for you, or give it to your sister to wear." ”

Yizhi took the flowers, and for a moment remembered Wen Yanbo, who borrowed Miao'er's hand and gave flowers to himself.

Zhong Shiheng saw that she was distracted again, and asked, "Where are you going, I can take you around when I am free." ”

Hearing this, Yizhi thought for a while and said, "I want to go and meet Master Forgetfulness and thank you in person." ”

Zhong Shiheng opened his mouth, stopped talking, and said for a long time: "This person, I have to take you to it." ”

Remembering it, Zhong Shiheng led the way, and the two even went out of the city, only to see that it was already spring, a touch of green, a touch of tender green painted with mountains, green embellished with pollen, white, and purple flowers. Walking through the white redwoods that can be seen all over the field, walking in the forest, you can see an ancient old temple standing among the trees, and two fir trees are planted in front of the temple.

After saying nothing all the way, Yizhi felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Zhongcheng matter, are you expensive this year?" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "It is the year of establishment. ”

Yizhi smiled and glanced at Zhong Shiheng.

Zhong Shiheng smiled bitterly: "It's not like it, right? When I was 20 years old, some people always guessed that I was 30 years old, and now I am really 30 years old, and some people guess that I am 37 or 8 years old. ”

Yi Zhi hurriedly said: "Where is it, Zhong Cheng is wise and decisive, he is a rare talent, and he makes people feel that he is not a young offspring, not to mention, Zhong Dian directly calls you uncle, is it ...... It's misleading. ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "I am the only youngest son in the family, there are eight sisters in front of me, and there is a huge difference in age, Yuhe is the second son of my eldest sister, and the eldest son is only two years younger than me. ”

Yi Yi was speechless for a while, his mouth was open, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhong Shiheng said: "Mr. Yan, I remember asking you a few days ago, and you said that you wanted to get an errand. ”

Yizhi noticed it and snorted.

Zhong Shiheng said with a smile: "I am short of an internal scribe, I don't know if Mr. Yan is willing to stay in Qingjian City." ”

Yi Zhi sneered and said: "The matter of Zhongcheng has been raised, I have nowhere to go for the time being, it is not impossible to stay in Qingjian City, but I have never done anything, but I am afraid that I will not be able to take on the heavy responsibility." ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "Mr. is too modest, in fact, Mr. doesn't need to do anything, just help me beware of the Western Xia thief army." Don't be afraid to say a word that is long in the ambition of others, that Wei Mingyuan's methods are unpredictable, so that people can't guard against it, Mr. has dealt with him, and he is bound to know him better than us. ”

Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and said with a smile: "If I know it well, I don't know it well, and I may be able to make a prediction through some clues, but it may not be accurate." ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "Enough! ”

Yizhi hesitated and said, "I don't want to be his enemy, let alone let him know that I'm not dead." ”

Zhong Shiheng wanted to speak and stopped.

The two entered the temple gate, the clouds were steaming and the clouds were surrounded, it was a sparsely populated scene outside the world, the two went inside, suddenly saw the clouds, there was a touch of pink flashing, the memory was not surprised, suddenly heard a burst of laughter, there was a fat man with embroidered silk blindfolded, the placket was loose and open, the chest was bare-chested and the breasts were stretched out, and the smell of wine pounced out of the mist.

Yizhi was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Zhong Shiheng.

Zhong Shiheng shouted, "Forget to recite the mage." ”

When Yizhi heard this, he unconsciously opened his eyes to look at Zhong Shiheng, Zhong Shiheng shook his head at Yizhi, and shouted at the man again.

The man turned around, lifted the embroidered silk, and revealed one eye, he saw Zhong Shiheng, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Zhongcheng's business, why are you free today." ”

At a glance, he saw Yizhi behind Zhong Shiheng again, his eyes lit up, he rushed towards Yizhi, held up her hand, touched it, and said, "Girl, you're here too, I'll take a look, I'll take a good look." So he rubbed it again and said with a smile: "It's better, it's better." ”

Yi Zhi hurriedly withdrew his hand, sneered, and then stared at the smooth head of the forgotten mage, and then glanced at Zhong Shiheng.

In the clear and quiet temple, a woman's disgusting voice came: "Great monk, what are you doing, you can't come yet!" ”

Forget to chant hurriedly shouted inside: "It's coming, it's coming!" Squinting his eyes again, he smiled at Yizhi and said, "The girl has been sleeping peacefully recently." ”

Remembering unconsciously recalled: "It's quite stable. ”

Forgetting to chant and laughing, a pair of fat hands touched from Yizhi's shoulders all the way to the palms, and then held up his hands, rubbing them, and said: "Not bad, yes, it's a good recovery, in the end, it's young, and the meat is also delicate." ”

Remembering it, he didn't feel the cold hair, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Forget to recite and said: "The girl is affected by the wind, does her body tingle?" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time and said, "Exactly." ”

Forget to say and smiled: "If you don't tighten, you can't cure it if you tighten it." ”

Memories snorted in confusion.

Forgot to recite: "The cold poison invades the body after childbirth, but it is no better than the cold poison invasion on weekdays, and there is no medicine for medicine." In the next month, a good child may be able to raise it back, but it may not be. ”

Another woman's joking voice came from inside the temple: "Stinky monk, what are you still doing!" ”

Forget to chant and hurriedly said: "It's coming, it's really coming!" ”

Yizhi was even more stunned, Zhong Shiheng just shook his head at her.

Forgot to recite: "I still have important things to do today, let's talk more about it another day, and I will change the recipe in a while, and ask someone to send it to Qingjian City, so I won't say more." With that, he swayed his big sleeves and walked away.

Yi Zhikong opened his mouth, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, pointed to the temple, and asked, "Attained the Taoist?" ”

Zhong Shiheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, let's go." ”

Yizhi was full of things to say, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to let out a sigh and follow him.

The two of them were walking back, and suddenly saw Zhong Shiheng's kid running in, and said, "City affairs, the palace flew directly to the pigeon and sent a message." ”

Zhong Shiheng and Yizhi glanced at each other, and unconsciously mentioned their throats and eyes, Zhong Shiheng hurriedly took the letterhead, read it again, and felt a lot of emotion, and saw that Yizhi's eyes were full of worry, so he handed the letter to her, and after a while, he was entangled and said, "Okay, what a Wen Yanbo." ”

When Yizhi heard the name, his heart moved, and he looked at it carefully.

Zhong Shiheng said with a smile: "I have met with him, I only think that Zhou Qu is gentle, gentle and peaceful, and there is nothing particularly surprising about it. ”

Yizhi muttered, "I didn't know that he was the imperial history of the Hezhong Mansion investigating this case. He frowned again and said: "The letter said that he didn't wait for the arrival of the new imperial history, directly decided the case, and beheaded Huang Dehe, I'm afraid he will get into trouble, why do you praise him?" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "The new imperial history is to reopen the case for investigation, and his move directly cut off Huang Dehe's back road, he is dead, so those who have accepted bribes and want to mediate for him don't have to be so careful." This person is either completely sure or full of courage. It's a decent person who can't rub sand in his eyes! ”

Zhong Shiheng said again: "Okay, good, my Song Dynasty has such a rookie, it's really a blessing!" ”

The Way of Remembrance: "He should be completely sure. ”

Zhong Shiheng hummed suspiciously.

"He is a very economic and pragmatic person, who will think carefully about everything, sort out the interests and then try to spend the least cost and seek the highest benefits. If you don't have full certainty, you won't make a move. ”

Zhong Shiheng saw that Yi Zhizhi's expression was abnormal, and he was not suspicious.

Seeing this, Yizhi thought for a long time, cheered up, and said, "Me and ...... Second brother Wen has an old age, if he hadn't had so many changes, he would have been married...... Now that I have fallen into such a field, I have no face to see my brothers, let alone him. ”

When Zhong Shiheng heard this, he regretted it and said, "No wonder, I heard that when he was visiting around, he was also inquiring about the whereabouts of a person. ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time, frowned, and said: "As a last resort, I can't let more people know that I'm still alive." ”

Zhong Shiheng sighed.

Remembering the melancholy, Xu Yu perked up again and said, "Let him die when I am, it's good for him and for me." ”a

Zhong Shiheng was about to say more, and another kid ran in, and said: "City affairs, just got a report from the detective, Wei Ming Yuanhao led the elite soldiers to attack Jin Mingzhai again, Mr. Shi Jie led the soldiers to Jin Mingzhai to resist all night, and when he was about to be breached, Wei Ming Yuanhao suddenly withdrew his troops, and divided into two roads, all the way to Jingyuan Road, all the way to the security army. ”

Zhong Shiheng was taken aback, and said to the way of memory: "Go back to the city quickly." ”

Yizhi nodded, and the two hurried back to Qingjian City, Zhong Shiheng ordered the whole city to be on guard, and took Yishang to look at the lookout.

Suddenly, another detective came to report and said: "City affairs, the Western Xia army led by Wei Ming Yuanhao broke through the Sanchuan Village on Jingyuan Road, and the Jingyuan Road Governor led 5,000 soldiers to rush to the aid was ambushed, and after the integration of the Western Xia army, they went to the direction of Liu Fanbao!" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "What is the direction of the security army?" ”

The detective said: "It's gone, the army that was supposed to attack the security army is gone." ”

Zhong Shiheng unconsciously stumbled, he looked at Yizhi and asked, "Where will you go?" Where will it go? ”

Yizhi muttered: "Is Yuan Hao crazy...... was taken aback, and said: "I'm here, I must be here!" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "Why do you say this. ”

Remembering the way: "This is the nearest city and county to the security army, Xixia spent a cold winter, the food has been exhausted, and now the eyes are panicking with hunger!" Not only did he want to capture the city, he also wanted to loot supplies. ”

Zhong Shiheng hurriedly asked the detective to probe again, and soon after the detective went, he reported that a force was under the mountain, encircled and suppressed from the left and right, and the Qiang tribes of the Song Kingdom were poisoned. The whole city of Qingjian City was on alert, and the Western Xia army attacked half of the mountainside, and suddenly withdrew its troops, and I don't know where they went. The people of the city were exhausted and sleepless all night, until the sky was slightly clear, and they dared to send detectives down the mountain.

Remembering at the lookout, her elbows were on the flyer's lean, and her eyes were staring straight at the green field.

With her bow and sword in her hand, Maitia stepped on the platform and said, "Girl, there is news." ”

Yizhi hurriedly turned around, this movement, she didn't feel that her legs were sore, she forced the discomfort, followed Maitia down the lookout, and went to the council hall.

Zhong Shiheng was listening to the detective's report with the officials in the city, and when they saw her stepping into the council hall, they all looked at her for a while.

Yi Yi saw a big box in the center of the lobby, and when he stepped forward, he saw three bloody heads inside, and he was startled, Zhong Shiheng's face was gloomy like water, and he said: "This is sent by the Western Xia thief army." ”

Yizhi asked, "Who are they?" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "The three chiefs of the Xifeng clan, the Fei Ting clan, and the Xiangli clan, we have just negotiated to fight against the Western Xia. Mr. Yan, they are warning me. They attacked the three tribes, killed men and children, took money and women, and burned down the stockades. They were warning me, warning all the Qiang people who cooperated with the Great Song. ”

Yizhi was silent for a long time and asked, "Do you know, which one of the Western Xia army is it, and who is the leader?" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "It's Jianing Army." ”

Yizhi recalled: "Jianing Army...... It is Yeli Rongwan, and the leader is Yeli Rongwan. ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "No, according to the detective's report, the leader is a Song man, and Yeli Rongwan still has to obey him." ”

Yi Zhi was stunned and said: "Song people, Wei Ming Yuanhao did not give any Song people military rights. ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "It is indeed a Song man, clear and thin, and he looks like a scholar." ”

Yizhi was puzzled: "Could it be Zhang Yuan?" ”

The detective's eyes lit up and he said, "I did hear someone calling Mr. Zhang, the leader." ”

Yizhi thought for a long time and said, "Where is the Western Xia Jianing Army right now?" ”

Zhong Shiheng said: "They set up camp at the foot of the mountain and prepared to attack Qingjian City. ”

Yizhi blinked quickly, thought about it for a long time, and said, "Zhang Yuan is the commander-in-chief, and Yeli Rongwan is the deputy marshal...... If that were the case, it would be fine. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at her for a while, and recalled: "I have a bird's-eye view of Qingjian City, the mountain road is rugged and steep, and it is difficult to march at night. The city was shaped like a pot, and the walls were made of stone and earth, and the steep walls were connected by the battlements of the city walls. The new city is close to Caochang Mountain in the north, Xiuyan River in the south, there is water flowing out of the ravine between the east mountain and the east wall, and the other bank of the west wall river is the towering Bijia Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. That's a point.

The old and weak women and children in the city all have the power of bows, this is the second point.

Another point, as far as I know, Yeli Rong is rebellious, and he is easily unwilling to surrender to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan has the intention to get rid of the Yeli family, and Wei Mingyuan is very suspicious. We just need to wait for the opportunity and create another misunderstanding, and these people will fight together. ”
