Chapter 285: The Old Man Comes North
"Meng Dutong, I didn't expect the "Princess Yincheng" to be ......."
Meng Hui and Zhao Chengyu stayed in the mansion of the "Princess Yincheng" for an hour, and they were all over the meal before they left there.
"Cheng Yu said cautiously, if you have anything to say back to the barracks—"
Compared with the excitement on Zhao Chengyu's face, Meng Heng's face was much more solemn, he didn't expect such a big change to happen, everything came too suddenly.
The two of them got on their horses outside the palace gate of the "Silver City Princess", and the twenty guards were already waiting there, and everyone went out of the city gate and returned to the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Cheng Yu, I think it's better to report this matter to His Royal Highness King Yan in detail."
Meng Heng thought about it again and again, but she was still a little unsteady in her heart.
"However, just now, Princess Yincheng has repeatedly warned her not to let Her Highness know her identity for the time being, if we tell Her Highness like this, wouldn't it be ......
Hearing Meng Heng's words, Zhao Chengyu was a little puzzled.
Don't look at the two of them are the main generals of the first army, but, in front of Meng Heng, Zhao Chengyu is a rookie egg.
A few years ago, when Zhao Chengyu first arrived at the "Dunwu Army", he still started from Guo Mo's personal guards, and at that time, Meng Heng was already the deputy commander of the "Dunwu Army".
"Cheng Yu, the identity of the 'Princess of Yincheng' is secondary, and the key is that she will completely put the command of the 40,000 Western Xia troops in our hands."
"Also, we can't judge whether what she said about the entrustment of Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, before he was killed, is true or false, especially since the 'Princess Yincheng' has such a sensitive identity."
Meng Hui has passed the age of establishment, and Guo Mo is five years older than him, and he is a cautious person himself, so he naturally thinks about more things.
It's not that he has any prejudice against this "Silver City Princess", when he recognizes the identity of the "Silver City Princess", his heart is also excited.
However, Meng Hui could only say sorry for what the "Yincheng Princess" requested, after all, the person he really wanted to be loyal to was His Royal Highness King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, and he himself was a Song person.
Even if he did not get Zhao Chengyu's full support, Meng Heng still picked up the pen and wrote a detailed report of what he had seen and heard since entering Western Xia.
He called his seventh brother Meng Ying over and asked him to send this recital to His Royal Highness King Yan of Luoyang in the fastest way.
Because of the importance of the matter, Meng Hui also sent the ten best kung fu guards in his own guard team as Meng Ying's escorts and galloped to Luoyang together.
There are certain laws to follow in war, but it is also the most difficult to fathom.
Sometimes, like a storm, in half a day, the city can be attacked and the balance of victory can be completely tilted.
Sometimes, after years of defense, and even both sides are on the defensive, no one dares to send the first arrow, and the years are in vain, and money and food are wasted.
......
Lin'an, Funing Palace.
The battle report of Western Xia, Guo Mo still asked Zhao Rushu to re-transcribe it, and wrote it together with the response he had made, and sent someone to Lin'an, full of three pieces of paper.
In Funing Palace, Zhao Kuo sat behind the imperial book case, and the old eunuch was still standing in his place, and at this time in Funing Palace, there were several more people.
The secretary of the ministry, the right chief of the Yanwang Mansion Shi Xue Ji, the military secretary Hu Yu, the military department squire Meng Zongzheng, and Yue Ke, who had just been promoted to the head of the household department.
The original Hubu Shangshu was old and frail, and after begging for bones three times, he was finally released back to the elderly by Zhao Kuo.
Yue Ke, who has been a waiter in the household department for several years, naturally stepped up and became the real helmsman of the household department, in charge of the money bag of the Great Song Dynasty.
You must know that Yue Ke is only forty-three this year, and it is rare to be promoted to the head of the household department at this age, and among the old scholars, he can be regarded as young and strong.
"Everyone, have you all seen the situation in Western Xia and the measures taken by King Yan? But what's wrong?"
The reason why these people were brought in was that Zhao Kuo had a purpose.
Xue Ji is naturally the leading resourceful person in the DPRK, and after completely getting rid of Shi Miyuan's party in the past two years, he is quite popular with the official Zhao Kuo
's favor, big and small things always want to find him to check.
Hu Yu and Meng Zongzheng sorted out the military department, and although the foreign expedition was decided by the Yan Wangfu, it was also reported to the military department.
The more than 200,000 elites under the command of King Yan are not trained by the fully recruited people, but they must also be recruited among all the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
In other words, all the armies of the Great Song Dynasty will be the source of troops under the command of King Yan, which has been used since the establishment of the "Dunwu Army".
To be precise, in the current Great Song Dynasty, only the four strong brigades under the command of King Yan have more than 200,000 people, which can be regarded as real soldiers and are responsible for foreign operations.
The other armies, in addition to the 30,000 regular forbidden troops guarding Lin'an, garrison troops in various places perform daily garrison tasks, and at the same time shoulder the responsibility of recruiting and initially training new soldiers.
These armies are no longer considered soldiers, but garrisons.
Especially since the beginning of the past two years, under Guo Mo's advocacy, eligible garrisons in various places have also participated in large-scale military reclamation or participated in disaster relief.
"Official, look at the meaning of His Royal Highness King Yan, do you want to take Western Xia first?"
Hu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, spoke first, this is also an old qualification, three out of sixty this year, and he is in the center all the year round, and he can be regarded as an evergreen tree in the political arena.
He is also the grandson of Hu Quan, a famous minister of the anti-Jin Dynasty, and his grandfather is even more powerful, and he is known as the "Four Famous Ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty" with Li Gang, Zhao Ding, and Li Guang in history.
It's no wonder that Hu Yu has such questions, in Guo Mo's previous plan for the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom was the first thing he had to take, followed by Western Xia.
As for Mongolia, its territory is too vast, and it is mostly a bitter cold land, which is considered a useless place in the eyes of the Great Song people.
Now that the situation in Western Xia has changed suddenly, Guo Mo's active response will naturally make people think about it.
"In the letter from His Royal Highness King Yan last time, it was said that whether it is the Jin Kingdom or the Western Xia, it will be the territory of my Great Song Dynasty in the future, and the people there will also become the subjects of my Great Song Dynasty."
"Therefore, His Highness is considering that in these two places, the military should mainly be coerced, and the use of 'economic warfare' and 'public opinion warfare' as much as possible."
"Although the old man has not yet been able to fully understand the implementation of His Highness's two tactics, with His Highness's consistent style of acting, it should not be an untargeted move."
Xue Ji next to him spoke, he was the official secretary of the court, and he was the right long history of the Yan Wangfu.
Especially after Lao Cheng Jue went to Luoyang half a year ago, the Yanwang Mansion in Lin'an was completely taken care of by Xue Ji, and the Yanwang Mansion in Luoyang often exchanged information.
"This time, the war in Western Xia seems to have broken King Yan's original plan. However, the old man is in favor of Ming Ke's approach, even if he can't completely take the Western Xia, at least he can get more territory and support."
"In my old opinion, we should still think more about the post-war affairs of His Highness, and the three major pacification envoys will be sent out, and His Highness may not have a fourth candidate."
Indeed, there are more than 200,000 strong troops under the command of King Yan to fight the war, but there are not too many Wenchen who stand alone, let alone Guo Mo, even people like the entire Great Song Dynasty are scarce.
"Okay, let's let Xiao Qi toss the foreign war by himself, let's just do a good job of logistics support for him."
"Suzhi, you have to pay more attention to this matter. Although Luoyang is now self-sufficient, launching such a big war still has to support the operation of the eight prefectures of Hebei."
"In terms of money and food, Xiao Qi can give as much as he wants, and the household department strictly controls it, and if someone dares to put his hand here, let the "Imperial City Division" cooperate with you, and find one to kill another——"
Yue Ke naturally has nothing to oppose, Yue Ke himself has been prosperous and prosperous in recent years, and his son is a general under King Yan, and he has reorganized the "Yue Family Army".
When he met an eloquent monarch like King Yan, Yue Ke didn't have time to fiddle with his original favorite poems, and spent more time and energy on government affairs.
The re-emergence of the Yue family will fall on him and Yue Ao, and His Royal Highness King Yan is the only help they can rely on.
"Although the official family can rest assured, after the first crop of rice is ripe this year, the ministers will order all places to be sent directly to Luoyang, eliminating unnecessary needs
Turnaround."
"The salary is also sufficient, and those who have military merits, whether in Hebei, Hedong or Guanzhong, can be awarded Yongye Tian according to the size of their military merits."
"The amount of idle cultivated land in various places has also been reported one after another, and military cantonments have been launched in some places, and if they are rewarded to the soldiers in the future, they will be directly ripe fields."
"Those three pacification envoys are really all capable people, and they are worthy of being cultivated by His Royal Highness King Yan."
When it comes to the government affairs under his jurisdiction, Yue Ke, who has always been not good at words, even talks eloquently.
In the Funing Palace, several other old men were in their fifties and forties, and Yue Ke, a person in his early forties, was full of vitality when he spoke.
"Hahaha, Su Zhi, you still envy the three of them? Aren't you also cultivated by His Royal Highness King Yan? Keep up your good work, young man—"
Meng Zongzheng listened to it on the side, and joked.
Yes, even Meng Zongzheng is sixty-two years old, if it weren't for Guo Mo's existence, like another time and space, Meng Zongzheng would have been dead for three years.
The official family of the Song Dynasty is also the most unscrupulous official family, and it is not too formal occasions to get along with courtiers who are compatible with each other, just like chatting with friends.
"Huizhi, you can go to the West Lake in person tomorrow and meet the Emperor of Western Xia."
Zhao Kuo suddenly lowered his voice.
The Emperor Taishang of Western Xia, that is, the champion emperor Li Zunwei, has also lived in Lin'an for more than half a year.
When he was about to arrive in Lin'an, the official Zhao Kuozhen went out of the city ten miles to greet him, and this specification also made Li Zunwei feel moved.
Li Zunwei is eight years older than Zhao Kuo, although he has abdicated, Zhao Kuo still calls "imperial brother".
On the New Year's Day, Zhao Kuo even invited Li Zunwei to have a drink with the civil and military ministers in the palace to congratulate the New Year.
Even according to the prince's specifications, he asked the household department to send Li Zunwei to Yulu every month, and Zhao Kuo also went to Li Zunwei's mansion to visit every once in a while.
This war in Western Xia, especially the death of Li Zunxuan's son Li Dewang, such a big thing, you have to send someone to talk to the emperor of Western Xia.
Xue Ji gave up his order, he was a person who was not afraid of trouble, and he was even thinking about whether he could plan something from it?
To tell the truth, Zhao Rushu's plan for King Yan in Luoyang, Xue Ji agreed very much, and he wished that he was also present at the time.
Whether it is the comparison between the ministers or the open and secret battles, they have never stopped.
They don't necessarily want to contain or stomp on anyone, more often than not, they just want to show what they have learned.
"Official, Shi Xiang's affairs......"
Xue Ji wanted to speak and stopped.
"Haha, yes, let's Shi Xiang look for you again? I think you can give him some advice."
"Shi Miyuan is also a shrewd person, but why can't he see through it? I don't know how Xiao Qi poured him ecstasy soup, so that this shrewd person who has been shrewd all his life is actually running for him?"
"Don't stop him, but even follow him for a certain time, and see how he performs—"
Zhao Kuo's eyes flashed with confidence.
Shi Miyuan, who was also the person Zhao Kuo relied on the most, was also helped all the way over, is it possible that when he is old, do you still want me to wave the butcher knife at him?
......
West Lake, Li Mansion.
An antique house, the house is not too big, at least in the eyes of the Northwest people, the house of Sanjin is small, but all the vegetation is very particular.
There are not many people living in the house, two masters, three guards, and four maids.
The original people in the house only left two cooks and two florists.
The plaque of the house is also very simple, with gold characters on a black background, and only the word "Li Fu" on it, although the words are simple, they are from the hands of the current officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
This "Li Mansion" is the residence of Li Zunwei, the emperor of Western Xia, in Lin'an.
For most of the past six months, Li Zunwei, who was originally not good-looking
, perhaps more suitable for the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River, has become tougher and tougher.
Read a book, drink tea, or go boating on the nearby West Lake.
In order to satisfy Li Zunxuan's Yaxing, Zhao Kuo, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, even directly sent Li Zunwei a boat.
It is still a two-story building boat, operated by six sailors, and when the weather is good, Li Zunwei even stays on the building ship directly.
The house is inconspicuous, Li Zunwei is also very low-key, living for more than half a year, no one around this place would have imagined that a former lord of Western Xia lived here.
On this day, Li Zunwei did not go out, or when he was about to go out, he was blocked back.
"Xiaonan, Xiaobei, why are you here? But something happened to Zhongxingfu?"
Seeing the two people who came in hurriedly from outside the "Li Mansion", the "Condor" Wei Chi Xuan spoke first.
Who is here?
It is in "Yipintang", two of the eight second-rate masters are also the adopted sons of the "Condor" Yu Chi Xuan since childhood, one is called Yu Chi Nan and the other is Yu Chi Bei.
What is rare is that these two are still twins, twenty-five or sixteen years old, and they have won the true inheritance of the "vulture" Wei Chi Xuan, and they are already second-rate players at a young age.
"Father-in-law, something happened in Zhongxing Mansion, and the king ...... He's dead—"
"What? ——」
As Wei Chi Nan and the others cried and fell to the ground, everyone in the Li Mansion was shocked, and Murong Qiudi hurriedly supported Li Zunwei from the side, so that the old man could fall.
"Xiao Nan, what did you say? Tell me clearly, how could the king die when he was in his prime?"
Although he knew that his two righteous sons could not say anything nonsense about this kind of thing, the "vulture" Wei Chi Xuan still jumped over, grabbed Yu Chi Nan's collar and asked.
"Go to the study and talk, Red, Yiniang, you two stay at the door, don't let anyone in."
Murong Qiudi spoke, dismissed the four maids, and couldn't go to today's rafting designation, so he supported Li Zunxuan and let the "vulture" Wei Chixuan take the two nominal sons into the study of the Li Mansion.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
After helping Li Zunwei to sit down, Murong Qiudi asked with a calm face.
has been in charge of the "Yipintang" for many years, and even the three of them have treated Murong Qiudi with the courtesy of an elder, not to mention Murong Nan, who is a generation lower.
"Concubine Qiqi, the Mongolian Brother Timu, led 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry to raid Guazhou City, and broke into the city in half a day, and the Great Xia army suffered more than 20,000 casualties."
"At the moment of crisis, the "Princess Yincheng" stepped forward and personally led 10,000 Great Xia warriors to reinforcements, withdrawing the troops of Suzhou and Ganzhou, and nearly 40,000 people were stationed in Xiliangzhou."
"At the same time, the king also ordered people to go to Yinzhou and Kangcheng to ask for help, if the reinforcements can arrive in time, Great Xia also has the possibility of turning the corner."
"However, just five days after the 'Princess of Silver City' set out on the expedition, the king was poisoned! It was discovered early the next morning."
"The night before, only the leader of Tuoba Hong was with the king, and by the time he arrived at Tuoba Hong's mansion, he and his concubine and only son Tuoba Xu were long gone."
Wei Chi Nan knelt on the ground and said the whole time, and there was his brother Yu Chi Bei next to him, they were people in the "Yipintang", the king was poisoned, and they could not escape the crime of not being able to protect them.
"So it's Tuoba Hong who poisoned Wang'er?"
Li Zunwei was crooked on the Taishi's chair, and patiently listened to Yu Chinan's narration.
"Emperor Tai, I don't dare to speak falsely, but everyone thought so at first, the first night the king only had Tuoba Hong by his side, which was seen by many people."
"When I looked for him again, he was nowhere to be found, and he took his only son with him, so it can be seen that he absconded in fear of crime."
Faced with Li Zunwei's questioning, Wei Chinan was a little frightened, but he could only tell the truth.
"So, who is in charge of Zhongxing Mansion now?"
Li Zunwei's question was on point, the royal accident has been there since ancient times, and his son died of him
Of course grief, who wants a white-haired person to send a black-haired person?
However, when the son died, what about the grandchildren? What about the throne of Great Xia?
"Because the princes were still young, the ministers elected the emperor's nephew Li Wei to preside over the overall situation, and when the two left, he had already ascended the throne as the emperor."
"Hahaha, yes, that's good! What a Manchu dynasty civil and military, a good descendant of the Li family! Li, I underestimated you—"
"Emperor Taishang, do you think it is Li Li's poisonous hand?"
For this Li Li, Murong Qiudi is no stranger to him.
Among the descendants of the Li family in Western Xia, this Li Li is also the best among them, and he doesn't see it on weekdays, he will have such ambitions and means?
"None of this matters, there are dozens of prefectures in Great Xia, and now it seems that only Xiliang Prefecture and Zhongxing Prefecture remain, and the Mongols have occupied most of the territory."
"As a person who keeps the promise, Li Li can still be used, and letting him expel the strong enemy and reorganize Great Xia is tantamount to a fool's dream."
Li Zunwei's expression was a little lonely.
When he was still in power, he also wandered between Mongolia and Dajin many times, whether it was servile or flattering, or groveling, all in order to continue the inheritance left by his ancestors.
Do you think he is willing to step down from the position of king of a country?
can be the king, who rarely goes to do what the emperor does?
It's a pity that between the continuation of Great Xia and personal honor and disgrace, he still chose the former.
Even if he gave up the throne to his son Li Dewang, Li Zunwei was still heartbroken for Daxia, whether it was His Royal Highness King Yan who courteously treated the Great Song Dynasty, or came to retire alone, or the "Princess Yincheng".
However, even after doing so, his son died.
"Emperor Taishang, please give an order, go to Zhongxing Mansion now, and bring back the heads of Li Wei and Tuoba Hong—"
The "vulture" Wei Chi Xuan on the side heard the whole process clearly, and he was originally a stable person, but it was difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Forget it, Great Xia may die overnight, what else do I want him to do with Li Li's head?"
"However, the old man really wants to bother Commander Lao Weichi to go to Zhongxing Mansion, don't do anything else yet, take my poor grandsons out, and escort them all the way to Lin'an."
To say that Li Zunwei is interested in the throne of Great Xia, this is impossible to deny, if it is said that he has much attachment or responsibility to the Great Xia Kingdom, it is difficult to say.
After all, Li Zunwei also abolished Xia Xiangzong Li An'an back then, and then established himself as the emperor.
Therefore, when he listened to Wei Chinan's story, his first reaction was that Li Li poisoned his son Li Dewang, and then established himself as emperor.
Is this karma?
But why should I repay my son?
The so-called country is ruined, since the Great Xia Kingdom is no longer guaranteed, it is better to take care of his grandson.
After discussion, Liu Yiniang, the "Scattered Flower Fairy", stayed in Lin'an, accompanied Concubine Murong and guarded the Emperor.
And the "vulture" Wei Chi Xuan and the "Open Monument Palm" Red, with the brothers Yu Chi Nan and Yu Chi Bei, returned to Zhongxing Mansion to find a way to bring Li Dewang's young sons to Lin'an.
"Vulture" Yu Chixuan was about to leave, Li Zunxuan, who had calmed down, once again called Yu Chixuan into the study.
Li Zunwei picked up a square seal from the table, thought about it and wrote an edict by himself, and handed it to Wei Chixuan.
"Commander Wei Chi, when you arrive at Zhongxing Mansion, if you can be sure that Li Li sent someone to poison Wang'er, you will show this imperial seal and edict to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, bitterly show Li Li's sins, and set up the "Yincheng Princess" Li Deyan as the Empress of Great Xia."
"The Emperor, you? ——」
"Vulture" Before Wei Chi Xuan could receive the edict, Murong Qiu Di next to him exclaimed in surprise.
"The Emperor, why do you bother to do this? In this way, didn't you roast Yan'er on the fire? Let her be a woman to bear the infamy of destroying the country in Great Xia?"
"Hahaha-Di'er, if you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, maybe it may not be infamy? Great Xia is already like this, Wang
My son is also dead, what else is the old man dare not do?"
Li Zunwei still stubbornly gave the imperial seal and edict to the "vulture" Wei Chixuan, and repeatedly instructed him to rescue a few princes in everything, ensure that the princes are safe, and then do other things.
"Vulture" Wei Chi Xuan, a group of four people left the Li Mansion and headed all the way to the Zhongxing Mansion in Western Xia.
Three days have passed since this incident, and Xue Ji, the secretary of the ministry, went to Li Zunwei's house to report the letter.
It's not that Lao Xue deliberately delayed, but the information they received was that they were one step too late.
The official Zhao Kuo's information was sent to Lu Chengfeng in Yinzhou by the person who "listened to the wind", and after Lu Chengfeng discussed it with Meng Hui, he sent Meng Ying to Luoyang Yanwangfu to deliver the letter.
Guo Mo and others received an urgent report, studied the plan, and sent troops before they summarized the news again and reported to Lin'an.
The brothers Wei Chi Nan and Yu Chi Bei were different, after the death of Li Dewang, the king of Western Xia, as soon as the new Xia king Li Wei was elected, the two felt that they could no longer stay in Zhongxing Mansion.
The two of them rode directly on two fast horses and came to Lin'an all the way non-stop, only two or three days earlier than the military report of the Great Song Dynasty.
......
Luoyang City, Yanwang Mansion.
Spring is always short, and after the peony blossoms bloom, everyone has not yet enjoyed it, and the hot summer has arrived.
On the martial arts training ground of King Yan's Mansion, it was really in full swing.
In such weather, if you stay in the "Dunwu Palace" to practice martial arts, these men will feel depressed.
Besides, it is already the exclusive practice room of Xiaolongnu, except for Xiao Guo Xiang, who goes with him every day, it is naturally difficult for others to bother.
Guo Mo asked people to pull up a large piece of white gauze over the huge martial arts training ground, and after many adjustments, it can not only isolate part of the heat, but also ensure the light.
Everyone thought that this was really a good idea, but Guo Mo was not very satisfied, but unfortunately, he really had no place to find the exclusive thermal insulation material in the later generations, so he could make do with it.
Feng Ge and Ye Qu are two junior disciples, Lu Guanying is his own nephew, Li Zhichang and Cui Zhifang are Keqing, plus his second disciple Wu Nantian.
Strictly speaking, the gap between these six people is not too big, Li Zhichang and Lu Guanying are slightly stronger, and the other four are all in between.
Whether it is a junior brother, a nephew or an apprentice, they are all proper people, and Guo Mo will inevitably be more strict.
Especially in the past seven or eight days, the latest military situation in Western Xia has not been reported for a long time, Guo Mo can't help but be a little irritable, and the amount of training arranged for these boys is even greater.
Everyone also understood his feelings, no one dared to bargain, he practiced seriously, especially Wu Nantian, he was an apprentice, he couldn't embarrass the master.
One, two, three......
After another five days, Zhao Rushu and Lao Cheng Jue came to the martial arts training ground together.
"Your Highness—"
"Your Highness—"
"Two, but there's news from Western Xia?"
Seeing that the two elders rushed over, and there were beads of sweat on their foreheads, Guo Mo hurriedly asked.
It has just passed now, and it has not yet reached the time for Guo Mo to go to the "Hall of Heroes" to see the information, and the arrival of these two people is designated as something big happening.
"Your Highness, there is indeed a military report from Meng Dutong in Western Xia, but it is imperative that you see an old man from the south first."
Zhao Rushu held Meng Hui's military report in his hand, but he didn't give it directly to Guo Mo, they happened to meet someone who came to Yanwang's Mansion to find Guo Mo before they came.
The two took it to the small flower hall in the front yard, and after inquiring in detail, they felt that this matter was more worthy of discussion.
They had already read Meng Heng's military report, and apart from a hint of shock, there was nothing critical.
Therefore, the two agreed that King Yan should be allowed to meet this person first.
"The deceased? From the south?"
Guo Mo didn't understand what these two elders meant, do you need to come to me together?
Seeing that the two refused to speak, Guo Mo did not continue to ask.
Let those boys continue to practice, and they will follow the second elder to the Little Flower Hall.
"Guo ...... His Royal Highness King Yan, do you still know you?"
In the small flower hall, there is a person sitting watching tea, dressed as a Confucian student, holding a folding fan in his hand.
"Ah, Brother Zhu? How are you? How did you find here?"
Who's coming?
It is under the seat of Master Yideng, one of the four disciples, the scholar Zhu Ziliu.
Calculating the time, it has been more than six years since the last breakup. At that time, Guo Mo was still completely a person in the rivers and lakes, and the realm of martial arts had not yet reached the pinnacle.
"Hey, it's hard to put into words, this time Zhu came to ask His Royal Highness King Yan for help, and I hope His Royal Highness will help the Dali Duan clan for the sake of the family teacher——"
Zhu Ziliu stood up and asked Guo Mo to make a big salute.
"Brother Zhu can't help it, what are you doing? Hurry up—"
Guo Mo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Ziliu as soon as he could, but Zhu Ziliu couldn't break free of Guo Mo's hand no matter how hard he tried.
"Brother Zhu, with my friendship with Master Yideng, what else does Brother Zhu need to ask for like this? As long as Guo Mo can do it, he will never shirk it."
Guo Mo also saw that something was definitely wrong, otherwise this person, who has always been gentle and elegant, and cares a lot about his description, is in the dust at this time.
So, what is Zhu Ziliu doing here?
That year, after Guo Mo and Huang Rong left, Master Yideng sighed at the martial arts talent of these two young people, and he also thought about it quietly, wanting to go home to see his children and grandchildren.
With the four disciples of "Yuqiao Cultivation and Reading", he left the secluded place and went all the way to the southwest and returned to Dali.
When I entered the land of Dali, I found that in the past ten years, the livelihood of Dali has been much worse, especially compared with the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the place where they used to live in seclusion can only be regarded as ordinary in the Great Song Dynasty, and if they really go to the land south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the gap between the two will be even greater.
All the way back to the vicinity of the capital of Dali, I didn't enter Dali City with a light, and I found an inconspicuous temple outside the city to place an order.
ordered the fourth disciple Zhu Ziliu to go to the palace to call out his second son, the current Dali Emperor Duan Zhixiang.
The father and son haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they are heart-to-heart.
After that, Yideng practiced in an unnamed temple, and took Duan Zhixiang's three sons over the age of ten with him to concentrate on instructing these emperors and grandsons in their martial arts.
Of the four people who "fishermen and cultivators", only the scholar Zhu Ziliu was left by his side, and the other three let them return to the court to help their son Duan Zhixiang act as the government.
This treatment is six years, and the eldest emperor and grandson have grown to the age of twenty-two, and the family legend "One Yang Finger" has also been practiced to the fourth grade, and his kung fu has broken through to the second-rate realm.
The other two emperors and grandsons also cultivated the "One Yang Finger" to the fifth grade, but their martial arts were all third-rate.
It's a pity that the qualifications of these three emperors and grandsons can only be regarded as average, and at this point, Master Yideng can't help it.
Originally, this kind of life was still stable, and Master Yideng also considered that in a few years, if there would be two emperors and grandsons' martial arts left, they could also be mentioned to the second-rate realm, and this kind of strength was not bad in Dali.
At this time, in the middle of the night, the shouts of the army were heard outside the nameless temple.
Before the light went out, the fourth disciple Zhu Ziliu ran in, and his third disciple Wu Santong was actually followed behind.
"Tee, why are you here? Ah, how are you covered in blood?"
By the light of the moon, Yideng found that his third apprentice, who he hadn't seen for half a year, was covered in blood at this time.
And above Wu Santong's right arm, there was still a broken arrow......
