The next day, the ban was lifted, Yulin prepared a four-color gift as promised, and still went to visit Song Yingjie, one is to visit the old man's injury, and the other is to pay a visit to the godfather in the service of the younger generation.

Song Yingjie's house is on a relatively secluded street in the west of the city center, with a bright gate, and there are stone piles in front of the door that are on the horse stone, the horse stone and the horse tether.

Yulin stepped forward to pat the knocker, at this time out of the inside of an old family, about 60 years old, Yulin stepped forward to send a post, the old family looked at the smile and said: "The son came at the right time, the master is waiting for you at home, he said that as long as the son arrives, please come in directly, no need to pass on." After saying that, he respectfully let him into the jade forest.

Yulin walked into the courtyard and saw that there were weapon shelves on both sides of the courtyard, on which eighteen kinds of weapons were neatly placed, and there were stone locks against the wall, just like a warrior's mansion.

Passing through the front yard and through the verandah, you will enter the inner house directly. At this time, Song Dingguo was already waiting for Yulin in front of the courtyard with a smile, and Yulin hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Song Dingguo smiled and said, "The virtuous nephew came just in time, your godfather is taking medicine at this time, and you can visit him in a moment." At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Dingguo, if your virtuous nephew is here, you don't have to see outside, please come in and talk." Song Dingguo beckoned Yulin to enter the old man's room.

Yulin entered the house. saw Song Yingjie lying on the bed. At this time, Song Yingjie had already leaned his upper body, and his arms were propped up on the side of the bed. He was still pale, but he was smiling. The old man's fingers tapped the soft pier in front of the couch, signaling Yulin to sit down close to the bed and talk, Yulin hurriedly stepped forward to bow and bow, calling him a godfather, the old man said with a smile: "The child please get up, Dingguo came back last night and told me, he is very happy to recognize a nephew like you, I also like to have a grandson like you, now that it is a family, there is no need for such a cumbersome courtesy, get up and sit down." Song Dingguo, who was on the side, also hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Yulin and let him sit on the soft pier next to the bed.

Yulin first inquired about the old man's injury, but the old man only said that it was a minor injury and he didn't care about it. It turns out that although Song Yingjie has passed the age of the sixtieth year, he is really healthy, and he has forged a good body after years of battlefield training, although he has also suffered some injuries, most of them are flesh wounds, even if he retires for many years, he also practices martial arts every day, and the equipment boxing is not unfamiliar, but the years are not forgiving, and how can the muscles and bones be comparable to the young and strong, but even so, there is still such a breath of unyielding indignation, otherwise, how can ordinary people dare to take only a few domestic servants to fight the thief chief alone?

Then the old man asked Yulin about the general situation at home, and Yulin answered them one by one.

A maid offered tea, Yulin invited tea, and saw the old man and said: "I heard that the child has resigned from the prefect's invitation to join the army, I don't know what you think, but let's hear it?" ”

Yulin said: "It is true that the grandson is preparing for the government test, which is also the wish of Mr. and Mother for many years, how can it be disobeyed, it is not his intention."

The old man nodded and said, "Okay, your choice is also in line with my mind, but you know that I have other considerations when I say this."

"Oh?" Yulin hurriedly said: "Please also ask the godmaster for some advice!" ”

The old man struggled to sit up straight, Song Dingguo was busy leaning behind him with a pillow, and Song Yingjie said: I think that since the Taizu Emperor's robe was added, I have continued to strengthen the army and horses, reorganize the armament, and conquer the countries in the south and then the north according to Zhao Puji, and successively destroyed Nanping, Chu, Shu, Han, and Tang, and laid the basic territory of my Great Song Dynasty. However, when Taizu sat down in the country, he began to worry about the stability of his dragon chair, he often worried that the former Tang Dynasty was ruined in the Anshi Rebellion, collapsed in the late Tang Dynasty eunuchs in power, formed a party for personal gain, and finally avoided the military power of the warriors, but used a glass of wine to release the military power of the army to seize the military power of a number of generals, and reuse the literati to govern, although it was to avoid the division of the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the military interfered in politics, but also weakened the strength of our Great Song Dynasty, so that it is tired and weak to this day. Think about how mighty my ancestor Gaoping battle was! Another seven days to destroy the country Nanping, what a heroic soldier! But after Taizong, the soldiers were few and the combat power was declining, so there was finally an alliance with the Northern Liao, only seeking Gou'an! How can it be compared to Taizu's ambition back then?! ”

The more the old man spoke, the more agitated his words became, so much so that he sat up on the bed and his eyes were split! Song Dingguo was busy supporting him to sit again, and served him tea to drink.

The old man pushed away the teacup and said: "It's good now, the Jin people are in the south, there is no one to use in my court, the soldiers will be weak, and the falling flowers and flowing water that are beaten by the Jin people will collapse at the first touch, and the Jin soldiers are like entering a no-man's land, but it is a pity that my great rivers and mountains have fallen under the iron hoof, and the innocent people are in danger of hanging upside down, so don't we cry!" Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but cry and choked up.

Song Dingguo hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, wiped away his tears for his father, and said to Yulin: "Whenever my father talks about this, he often sheds tears and persuades him repeatedly, hey! Yulin should not be surprised. ”

Yulin said: "Uncle, don't say much, the people of the country have fallen to this, but there is a bad conscience, who doesn't hate and cry!" ”

The old man stopped his tears and said: "Now that the court suppresses martial arts and emphasizes literature, it is difficult for the last military general to have a fight, even if he has the heart to fight and is afraid of offending Shangyan, who dares to say a fight?!" I see that today's son only seeks Gou An, and is afraid that the military power will fall, endangering the throne, is the lord and, now all the ministers in the dynasty are looking at the face of the act, Ming Zhe to protect himself, the previous Jin army besieged Bianjing, and finally extorted money, food and wealth and returned, the latter time is to go straight down to Bianliang, capture my Huiqin two emperors, humiliate my officials, slaughter my people, is the shame of Jingkang, and now my dynasty and ministers Gou An Southern Dynasty actually live and steal peace, day and night sheng songs, straight Hangzhou as Bianzhou! Don't you know that the catastrophe of destroying the country and slaughtering the people is coming! ”

Yulin was worried that the old man would be sad if he continued to talk, so he said: "In this way, the former godmaster wants me to learn from me, but not to kill the enemy in the army?" ”

The old man Zhengse said: "It is direct to kill the enemy in the army, you can protect the township, and you can save Li Shu, but after all, it is difficult to enter the palace to make decisions and orders, in vain, it is difficult to stretch your ambitions, I want to save the country, I will be in charge of the military, and the person in charge of the military is not a martial artist, but a scholar and a literati." ”

Yulin suddenly realized, deeply felt that the old man was scheming, and was taught and taught, and the old man said: "I have already known your martial arts the day before yesterday, and seeing that the government test is approaching, I don't know how my grandson can prepare?" ”

Yulin said: "According to my mentor Guo Fuzi, this time there can be 90% of the talents. ”

"Oh? Guo Fuzi has always been a thousand words, since he has said that nine out of ten are safe, it is not bad, so it is good. Only in the show, but also the first step, even if you win the lift, it is far away from the temple, fortunately, the old man has old friends and relatives are still in the court, or you can bring you one or two, when the time comes, the old man will take care of this matter, you don't worry, and slowly figure it."

Yulin said: "My grandson is just an adult, don't worry! Your old man's injury and illness are predetermined, you can't work for a long time, and you can recuperate first, and Yulin will retreat first", got up to say goodbye, and the old man said: "Today's words, you think about it carefully, don't be an outsider, remember, remember!" Yulin replied, "That's natural," and quit.
