October 16, 21st year of Dachang

On the seventh day when Song Yi's 200,000 rebels were stopped outside the pass, the Canghai customs guards Guo Ying and Guo Wei were finally broken due to the lack of food and grass, people and horses.

Song Zhiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Song army who entered Canghaiguan, ordered all the soldiers who entered Canghaiguan not to kill and humiliate the soldiers and civilians of Canghaiguan, and distributed food to resettle the people and injured Dachang soldiers, which was also rare.

Song Zhiyuan climbed the city tower and looked at the Dachang land in the distance to meet the sun, and his eyes couldn't help but flash tears: "Sister, you must wait for your brother, my brother will come to save you soon."

Indeed, after passing through the Canghai Customs, and then breaking through the Black Bear Ridge fifty miles away, the Song army could drive straight into the imperial capital without half a month.

The Xiangwang army, which originally planned to support the Guo brothers in Canghaiguan, missed the best time to enter Canghaiguan due to a heavy rain, which led to the destruction of Canghaiguan, and Xiangwang's army had to be stationed in Heixiongling to hold this last fortress.

Song Zhiyuan, who was bent on rescuing his sister as soon as possible, ordered the army to camp overnight in Kuqiu Mountain, ten miles away from Black Bear Ridge. The soldiers who have been fighting continuously have long been miserable, and they can finally sleep peacefully tonight, but Song Yi and Song Zhiyuan are still waiting for news from the spies, they want to know who the commander of the counterinsurgency is before they can draw up a battle plan, and it is not until the beginning of the day that the spies return to the commander's camp: "See Lord Hou, general"

Song Zhiyuan hurriedly asked: "Who is the other party's coach, can you find out?" ”

"General Hui has made it clear, the commander is Chu Yiheng, the king of Xiang, the deputy marshal Luo Zhong, and the supervisor is Chu Yiyun, the king of Qi."

"Chu Yiyun? How did he get here? Have you ever heard where the young lady is now? ”

"Subordinates don't know"

"Let's go down"

Song Zhiyuan's eyes were instantly filled with tears: "Dad, do you say that my sister will .........?"

Song Yi's expressionless appearance made people shudder: "There must be sacrifice to do great things, you should know what her ending is from the day she enters Beijing, Chu Yiheng and Luo Zhong came together This battle is not so easy to fight, immediately go and notify the general with the rank of lieutenant or above to discuss major matters in my account."

Three days later, Song Zhiyuan finally couldn't help but want to go to Black Bear Ridge to find out, if he didn't know his sister's life and death, what did he feel was the point of this battle? In her heart, the safety of her family is far more important than the country.

With his skills, it is not difficult to blend into King Xiang's camp in the dark night, but it is a little difficult to find the place where Chu Yiyun lives among the many camp tents, in order to save time, he caught a soldier patrolling and inquired about it, and then successfully found Chu Yiyun's camp tent, after all, this is the territory of the enemy army, no matter how powerful he is, he is invincible with two fists, and the best way is to lure Chu Yiyun out of the camp tent.

Song Zhiyuan came to Chu Yiyun's tent, put the paper prepared in advance, put it on the small arrow, threw it into Chu Yiyun's camp tent, and ran towards the Black Bear Ridge Mountain, but unfortunately, the person in the camp at this time was not Chu Yiyun but Chu Yixing, Chu Yixing picked up the arrow and opened the note, and only a few words were simply written on it: When I saw the west of Black Bear Ridge, Song Zhiyuan.

Chu Yixing saw that the person who made the payment was Song Zhiyuan, put down the arrow in his hand and chased him out.

Song Zhiyuan, who was waiting in Black Bear Ridge, saw someone coming and hurriedly greeted him, but what he didn't expect was that all the people who came were Chu Yixing

"Brother Song, it's really you"

Song Zhiyuan was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Chu Yixing's eyes were full of tears, like morning dew on the petals, and it would fall down with just a touch of his fingers: "I'm just here to confirm if the person who saved me is you."

"Now that the princess is decided, please go back."

"So that's what you've been planning for a long time, isn't it? You just want to take your third sister-in-law away when you go to the palace, not looking for anything, right? I trust you so much, how can you lie to me? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, tell me quickly, how is your third sister-in-law?"

"Do you care about her? Have you ever thought about her feelings? How can you bear to send her to the guillotine with your own hands, you are so ruthless, you are really ruthless"

Song Zhiyuan grabbed Chu Yiyun's shoulders like crazy and asked, "What did you say?" Say it again, what's wrong with my sister, you say, you say it........"

"Lingxi, she is very good, although her father and brother have abandoned her, her husband will love her with his life," Chu Yiyun slowly walked over from a distance

Although Song Zhiyuan and Chu Yiyun are not familiar with each other, they are not strangers, Song Zhiyuan saw Chu Yiyun coming over, hurriedly let go, Chu Yixing turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Chu Yiyun continued: "From the time when Lingxi and Xing'er interceded with the assassin at the same time, I guessed that the identity of the assassin was not simple, and until Xing'er mixed into the military camp, I was basically sure that the assassin was from the Luoyang Hou Mansion, but I didn't expect it to be your brother."

"It's really rare that the prince can still call me brother at this time"

"You are Lingxi's brother, and naturally my brother is also mine"

"I don't deserve to be her brother at all"

Chu Yiyun twisted Song Zhiyuan's placket and gritted his teeth and said: "Of course you are not worthy, your father and son are the most selfish people in the world, you can take the lives of your relatives in vain for your own selfish desires, can you imagine what kind of mood Lingxi felt when she watched her husband go to the battlefield to fight with her father and brother?" Can you know how much her heart hurts? ”

Chu Yixing said while wiping more and more tears: "On the night when you started the army, the third sister-in-law was imprisoned in Dali Temple and given white silk, if it wasn't for the third brother who threatened his father with his own life, it would be impossible to let go of the third sister-in-law."

Song Zhiyuan smiled bitterly: "As long as Lingxi is okay, I will rest assured, I was 10,000 unwilling to marry Lingxi to you, but now it seems that she is married right, Chu Yiyun thank you"

"Song Zhiyuan, isn't our Chu family good enough for your Song family? Why do you father and son rebel? ”

"I don't want to talk about this, we'll see you on the battlefield if you win or lose."

"Do you really think Lingxi is fine? Haven't you ever wondered why I'm here to be this overseer? This is the death order given to me by my father, only if you withdraw outside the customs can you avoid the death of Lingxi, otherwise not only Lingxi, but also more than 200 lives of my Qi Wangfu will be executed together, I, Chu Yiyun, am not afraid of death, I just don't understand why you want to rebel in this prosperous world of peace and peace in the world? There are 200,000 mercenaries in Luoyang, and the Houfu is rich and rival the country, what else are you not satisfied with? ”

In fact, this is also what Song Zhiyuan has always been unable to understand, he has asked his father many times but has not received a satisfactory answer: "I'm sorry, this is not what I wanted"

"So you have to go all the way to the dark"

"I have lost my sister, I don't want to lose my father again, please forgive me"

"Even if that's the case, then I don't want to say more, from now on, my Qi Wangfu and your Luoyang Marquis Mansion will break off righteousness, no matter life or death, each has its own destiny."

After Chu Yiyun finished speaking, he dragged Chu Yixing and left Black Bear Ridge.
