After eating a few pieces of dim sum and drinking a bowl of dendrobium white fungus soup, Emperor Chen Zhao Chang continued to attach it to the case to review the folds. Since succeeding to the throne, Zhao Chang has been very diligent, often holding candles to review and fold until the rooster crows, and the diligent government is indeed better than that of the first emperor Zhao Zhen.

As the sun sets, the light in the hall fades. The great eunuch Zhao Qin cautiously approached Emperor Chen with the lantern in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the front of the palace has commanded Ma Zude to meet him, saying that there is an urgent matter to ask Your Majesty."

"Huh? - Announce him in! Emperor Chen closed the fold, put down the brush, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows habitually. In addition to being in charge of the four gates of Luoyang and Kyoto, he was also one of the leaders of Emperor Chen's secret guards. Usually responsible, espionage, espionage, investigation and other tasks, at this time to enter the palace to see, there must be something important to report.

Ma Zude was about thirty years old, dressed in a collared robe, and after entering the palace to see the ceremony, he reported a message to Emperor Chen - the national teacher Li Xingzhi was out of Beijing!

Emperor Chen's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, leaning on the body of the dragon chair and leaning slightly: "I ask you, when will the national teacher leave the city?" How many people are in his entourage? Where did it go? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, I am alone, without an entourage, and I have not gone out of the Changxia Gate from time to time!" Mazud added: "The minister has ordered his subordinates to follow secretly."

Emperor Chen's face was a little pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Back then, the emperor and the national teacher were born and died, and they were like brothers and sisters. The national teacher treats me like a son and nephew, and I treat the national teacher like a father like a teacher...... The hard work of the national teacher is the pillar of the country, and there must be no mistakes. You send someone to secretly guard, don't disturb, the national teacher has always liked to be clean, as soon as there is news, report it to me quickly! ”

Mazud was commanded and said yes. Emperor Chen said to the eunuch Zhao Qin: "The national teacher is old and alone, and I am really worried about his safety. In the future, all the news of the national teacher does not need to be passed on, and it will be directly visited. ”

On the outskirts of Luoyang, on the official road where Yangliu is still in the vicinity, an old man in a green shirt sits on the back of a green donkey, walking slowly.

He passed by the field, saw the wild flowers in full bloom, jumped off the back of the donkey, walked into the field full of flowers, admired the vitality of the field, he smelled the flowers like a child, and his face was intoxicated......

As he walked through the woods, he heard the chirping of birds, pursing their lips and making sounds like those of birds. The birds tilted their heads to look at him, and for a moment they flew up to his shoulders, one, two, three...... A flock of birds circled and flew around him, chirping and jumping merrily over his shoulders......

He led the donkey across the river, and the water went down his trouser legs. He bent down to pick up a handful of cool river water with his hand, and a golden fish swam over with its head and tail, rubbing its head against his trouser leg affectionately, and then more fish and shrimp swam towards him......

He broke into the inaccessible mountains, and in the middle of the night the wolves howled and whined, but when he saw him, he fled with his tail between his legs. A spotted tiger jumped out of the mountain stream and looked at the big green donkey. When I saw him, he wagged his tail like a docile cat and begged for mercy......

He walked through the sunrise and sunset, and he saw the sky full of stars. He loved the world so much, and he hated it so much, and he hated the deceit, the lies, the hypocrisy, the conspiracy, the calculations, the squalour, the wars, the killings......

His name is Li Xingzhi, Li Xingzhi who combines knowledge and action!

He wore a green shirt, carried a long sword, led a green donkey, walked through Lingbao Mountain, and walked through Weinan Tongguan......

"Idiot! You're all rice buckets! ”

In Luoyang, Kyoto, the city capital commanded the embassy, Ma Zude scolded angrily. A casual slap was slapped on the face of the commander Zhou Shijing, Zhou Shijing turned around twice like a spinning top, covered his hot cheeks and said aggrievedly: "My lord, it's not that my subordinates are ineffective, my subordinates send people to follow the national teacher day and night, but ...... But the national teacher is going too fast! ”

"Stupid, you dare to quibble, you can lose it with anyone, how can you let me explain to the above!" Mazud was furious and scolded fiercely.

"My lord doesn't know that his subordinates have sent capable generals, and the horses in the cavalry are far away...... Follow the national teacher. The national teacher rode the donkey unhurriedly, but ...... But the farther he went, his subordinates rode their horses and galloped, but they couldn't catch up! Zhou Shijing said with a sad face, and the five fingerprints on his face were like them.

After hearing this, Mazud's eyes flickered, and he was silent, and for a moment, his anger did not subside: "If you send more people, no matter what, you must ...... Protect the safety of the national teacher, and report it as soon as there is news! ”

Li Xingzhi continued to walk forward.

Further ahead, the loess is all over the sky, and it is already the Xiliang border pass......

In Xiliang Wuwei City, the tall city wall shades most of the sunlight in the setting sun. Although it is not as prosperous as Yangzhou, the capital of Dongyang, and Luoyang, the capital of Dachen, it is luxurious, but the population of the city is nearly one million.

Since the annexation of Qinzhou County in Dachen, the Western Liang Kingdom has successively relocated a large number of people from Qinzhou. In recent years, we have also vigorously developed trade and enhanced our comprehensive national strength by opening up bartering bartering at border gates and buying and selling people. Actively learning the Middle-earth culture of the Dachen Empire and the Dongyang Kingdom, the DPRK and China are politically clear and actively implementing new policies, and the treasury is increasingly full, and there is a faint trend of Zhongxing.

The sky is getting dark, and the bustling streets in Wuwei City during the day are gradually deserted, and only the night returnees are hurrying. The rows of houses in the city gradually lit up, and in the dark night they lit up like countless stars......

In the vestibule of the Marshal's Mansion in Wuwei City, a few arm-thick candles were burned on the candlestick, and the hall was brightly lit. Han Zongwang, the former generalissimo of the Liang soldiers and horses, sat according to the case, stroking a thick knife on the case, his eyes were blazing. He held the hilt of the knife, rubbed the blade with his fingers, and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!"

A big man next to him grinned and said, "If Zong Shuai thinks it's good, I'll buy all the rest of him, it's just ...... Price...... A bit pricey. ”

Another green-robed and white-bearded old man dressed as a scribe said: "As long as it is worth the money, the sect marshal will not spare money, but he doesn't know ...... How many more of these good knives are there? ”

The big man grinned and said, "Master Zhu, this is a treasure knife made by the craftsmen of the Zongjian Gate, do you think you can find a bunch of firewood on the street?"

The white-bearded old man was speechless, and was about to return the sentence, when Han Zongwang stood up from behind the case with a knife, and walked to a row of weapon racks in the hall and stopped. He raised his big knife and lightly slammed it on a Xuanhua axe, and the heavy axe surface was slashed into two pieces like cutting tofu.

"Hiss......" Han Zongwang took a cool breath in his mouth, and a cluster of flames seemed to rise in his eyes. He groaned slightly, holding the knife in both hands and pushing it towards the weapon shelf without any force, and as his footsteps moved, "click" and "boom" - with the sound of tooth-aching metal collision, friction, and cutting, the big knife in his hand was like a devastating and decaying shelf, and the knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, and forks on the weapon shelf were broken and damaged, and they were scattered all over the ground.

"Good!" Han Zongwang praised loudly, stroked the intact heavy blade and said: "If this knife is equipped with a long handle, it is the Mo knife that terrified the cavalry of the world back then. It evolved from the sword of chopping horses, and the famous general Xu Chilong, the founding general of the Great Liang Dynasty, swept the Quartet with 5,000 Mo sword troops, leveled the world, and created an immortal feat. Tong Shanxiong, where did you get this knife? Such a peerless sword, you've found a fucking treasure! ”

Han Zongwang strode to the desk and sat down, handing the knife to a big man named Tong Shanxiong. Tong Shanxiong returned the knife to the sheath and said excitedly: "Zong Shuai, I bought this knife at a barter shop in the bazaar today, and that person claimed to have been a craftsman of the Zongjian Gate. In exchange for this knife I gave him a hundred and fifty sheep and twenty horses, and I asked him if he had any more, and he said that there were no finished knives at home, but there were some remaining materials that could be made into dozens more. ”

"Oh...... The art of longitudinal sword gate casting is unparalleled in the world, no wonder this knife is so sharp! Han Zongwang said movingly: "How much he has, how much we want." As for money, you don't have to worry, I'll send someone to pay you, and it's best to keep this person in the army and be in charge of forging weapons. ”

The green-robed and white-bearded old man arched his hand and said, "Zong Shuai values this knife so much, can it really change the sect temple with this sharp weapon alone?"

Although Han Zongwang has now been promoted to Captain Xiliang, he is really above 10,000 people under one person, but his close subordinates still like to call him the generalissimo of the Great Liang State as Zongshuai.

Han Zongwang laughed loudly, and said in a loud voice: "Shifu is a scholar, so I don't know anything. In cavalry combat, the saber is too light, and it is easy to curl the blade when slashing and killing the enemy, and the saber is too heavy and exhausting. If our soldiers are exhausted after just two swings of their heavy swords when they go into battle against the enemy, how can they still win? If it is equipped with this sword, the cavalry and horses are covered with heavy armor, and the iron chains are linked to form a battle array. When the two armies faced each other, the front army first blocked the enemy with a horse pistol, and the Chinese army's iron cavalry charged into battle, relying on the momentum of the war horse collision, with this treasure knife in hand, just a light drag, killing the enemy effortlessly is like chopping melons and vegetables. Wait for the defeat of the enemy, and then order the rear army to cover the light cavalry and harvest, so that it is invincible and invincible! ”

Han Zongwang has been in battle for a long time and is well versed in the art of war. The green-robed and white-bearded old man listened to it with a sincere convincing, and praised it sincerely: "Zong Shuai is strategizing, and he has a million armored soldiers in his chest, so I am ashamed of myself!"

This green-robed and white-bearded old man is named Zhu Shifu, who was once a private school in Bianliangfang, the capital of the Great Liang Kingdom in the former dynasty. When he was young, he tried and failed repeatedly, because he was quite talented in reading poetry and books, and later became Han Zongwang's staff. Because of his resourcefulness, he was called "Zhu Junshi" by the soldiers, and he and Tong Shanxiong, the brave and combative guard commander next to him, were regarded as Han Zongwang's right-hand man.

Han Zongwang clenched his fists, his eyes bright and scorching, and continued: "If there is such a knife...... Equip my ironclad cavalry, only 3,000, 3,000 ironclad can sweep the Great Chen Kingdom and Dongyang Kingdom...... It's just a pity ......"

When he said this, his eyes darkened and he said: "You two have followed me for many years, and when the Great Liang Guopo was broken, we ...... Defected to Xiliang. For more than ten years, the lord of Xiliang has treated me very well, which naturally aroused the suspicion of the emperors and magnates in the court. Some people framed slander in front of the lord of the country, and some ministers in the court deliberately alienated us. The imperial court asked me to hand over the military power of the Flying Tiger Army, except for the 3,000 relatives and brothers who defected together back then, the soldiers and horses I can mobilize and command at any time are less than 50,000! ”

After speaking, Han Zongwang pointed to a pile of thick papers on the case, his face was full of helplessness and loneliness, and sighed: "The day before yesterday, the lord of the country summoned me to the palace, first gave me 200 urns of Liangzhou wine, and then gave me the concert of the impeachment of the officials of the DPRK and China, and praised my loyalty to the country...... Actually, the lord of the country is beating me on the alert! ”

Tong Shanxiong was angry and said loudly: "These dog officials in the court have caused our sect marshal to suffer from this pickled anger. Don't worry about Zong Shuai, with me and my brothers here, who dares to touch us, provoke the fuss, and oppose the damn! ”

Han Zongwang glared at him fiercely and shouted in a low voice, "Shut up!" In the future, this kind of bastard talk, Hugh will talk about it again! Tong Shanxiong was so frightened that Nuo Nuo said yes......

Zhu Shifu bowed his head and groaned on the side, stroked his white goatee and said slowly: "Zong Shuai bravely crowns the three armies, and he is the most jealous of the generals". Since ancient times, "rabbits and foxes are cooked, and birds are hidden with bows...... Oh ......" seemed to think that this description was not too good, and he changed his words again: "Zong Shuai is not a general of Xiliangyan, and he has a heavy army, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the lord of the country." If you want to break the situation, it is actually simple, Zong Shuai only needs to send a confidant to send a secret letter to that person, so that Da Chen Guo can send troops to attack Xiliang. At that time, the government and the opposition were shocked, the generals in the army were unbearable, and the lord of the country must rely on the commander. ”

Han Zongwang frowned, his eyes flickered for a long time, and he shook his head and said, "When the Great Liang State was broken, we had no choice but to go to Xiliang. Now collude with Da Chen and coerce Xiliang again...... This kind of behavior is not the work of the husband! ”

When Zhu Shifu heard Han Zongwang say this, a touch of shame quickly flashed across his face, and he said calmly: "There is still a plan for the old decay, which can make the soldiers of the Great Chen Kingdom and the Dongyang Kingdom rise again, and at that time, not only the lord of the country will rely on the commander of the sect, but also ......."

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a breeze blew in the hall, the candles on the candlestick swayed, and an old man in a green shirt suddenly appeared under the shadow of the lamp.
