Zhao Ta sat in the lobby reading the military newspaper, Tiandeng County was finally taken, and General Lu entered the county seat almost bloodlessly.

The military newspaper was written in a hurry, obviously in a hurry, and was written in a hurry, without specifying what strategy was used, only saying that the Western Xia soldiers who might surrender Tiandeng might be recruited next.

Zhao Ta put down the military report with a happy expression, he knew that a more detailed report would be sent later, and then he knew what kind of trick General Lu had used to achieve such an uncompromised victory.

And Shi Jin also has a secret letter, but he is still pulling with Yongzhu County, and he also wants to take Yongzhu without a big loss, but he can't figure out a good way, so he can only be entangled and stalemate for the time being.

Then Zhao Ta read two more letters, one was written by Xiao Min, in addition to greetings, he also wrote a lot of interesting things, such as the eagle eagle and the red horse fighting, the eagle went to hunt in the mountains of the plateau, but met the king of the giant vulture and was almost defeated, came back to hide alone in the fine house to recuperate, embarrassed to see people, and finally Xiao Min also drew a big smile.

The other one was written by Xiao Niang, Xiao Niang was pregnant, she was surprised and a little afraid, Qi Hongyu had already entered the house to take care of her, hired a few more maids, and Lang Zhong prescribed a fetal decoction, everything was normal.

Zhao Tan couldn't help but be happy in his heart, hurriedly wrote a reply, instructed some things, and sent a letter to Liu Suiyun, asking him to add another layer of guards to the palace.

Then he began to sit in his chair and think about what to call the boy and what to call the girl, and he couldn't help but laugh as he thought about it.

At this time, Lu Dalai reported the matter, and the four of their righteous brothers were sent by Zhao Ta to monitor Songtao Tower, but today they found that a few sneaky people entered the backyard, and it seemed that they were not local residents of Zhuo Luocheng.

Zhao Ta knew that no matter how closely the city gate was checked, it would inevitably be flawed and spies mixed in, so he asked, "What kind of people are they?" ”

Lu Dadao: "Young girl, strong young man, poor and sour literati, red-faced old man, a total of four!" ”

Zhao Ta thought for a while, got up and said, "Come with me to the cell." ”

When he arrived at the military prison, he saw Wang Heishan curled up in the corner, his body tied to an iron chain and tied to a pillar.

Seeing Zhao Ta coming, he hurriedly got up, his eyes were full of hope, he figured it out these days, his family was originally a Jianghu person, relying on a knife to lick blood to eat, who did he sell his life to?

What's more, he is just a wedge in the Hall of Sadness, responsible for killing, and there is absolutely no possibility of promotion, after all, he has neither official character nor military rank, to put it bluntly, it is like hiring.

Since this is the case, it is better to take refuge in a free body, but the other party did not show any intention of soliciting, and it was not easy for him to speak directly.

Zhao Ta stood outside the prison with his hands in his hands and looked at him: "Wang Heishan, ask you something." ”

Wang Heishan hurriedly said in a hoarse voice: "General, please ask, but if you know, you will not answer." ”

Zhao Ta said: "There are four people, young girls, young people, middle-aged and old people, who have come to Zhuo Luo City together, and now they have entered Songtao Tower, do you know who they are?" ”

"Girl, young and middle-aged......" Wang Heishan thought for a moment, and then said in surprise: "This should be someone from the Yuan family!" ”

"People from the Yuan family? Isn't it from the Hall of Sadness? Zhao Tan frowned.

"It's a member of the Yuan family, but it's also the wedge of the Sadness Wind Hall." Wang Heishan hurriedly explained: "These four are close subordinates of Concubine Jing, and Concubine Jing is generally concubines in the Yuan family. ”

"Oh......" Zhao Ta nodded: "What's your name, what are your skills?" ”

Wang Heishan said: "The girl is called Yuanchun, the young Yuanxia, the middle-aged Yuanqiu, the elderly Yuandong, the martial arts are extremely strong, and the fists and feet used are related to this spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

"Spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows, the stranger the weapon, the faster he died, and when he heard the name of this bells and whistles, he was afraid that he was not a real master.

He turned around and took Lu Da out, thinking as he walked, if he sent soldiers to surround him, he would be startling the snake, and Songtao Lou might not be able to catch people again, and the soldiers were not good at falling, and it would not be beautiful to run away one and a half.

Zhao Ta's current martial arts are the highest are Lu Junyi and Du Yan, but Lu Junyi needs to sit in Xining Longyou, although Du Yan followed, it is not easy to show it, not to mention that he has been training soldiers and horses these days, and it is inconvenient to capture spies.

And Songtao Lou has to be kept for the time being, if the Yuan Mirror is confiscated like this, she will definitely not give up, and will continue to think of other tricks, it is better to let her see how many people are throwing themselves into the net, then in the end, there is no one to send, and when there is nothing to do, it is possible to really send the practice method of Acacia Arrow and Ecstasy Arrow.

After sending Lu Da back to Songtao Tower to monitor, he went to find Yuanguo, who was catching crickets in the corner of the small courtyard, and there were already several in the jar beside him.

Seeing Zhao Ta's arrival, he hurriedly got up and saluted, and Zhao Ta smiled and said, "Camp Commander Liu is so leisurely, catching insects for fun?" ”

Yuan Guo slandered, you evil king asked knowingly, don't say anything about the sesame mung bean petty official who made me a battalion commander, and he was put under house arrest and didn't let him go out and didn't give it to his subordinates, wouldn't I suffocate to death if I didn't have some fun myself!

"Ah Wangye, the villain has been indulging in fun since he failed to learn martial arts in elementary school, but this insect has been playing for some years, and he has won a lot of samadhi."

Zhao Ta looked at him, and suddenly remembered Zhao Huan in the Tokyo Imperial Palace, and couldn't help but sigh: "This king is envious of this life of amusing insects and birds, lackeys and eagles, but it is a pity that it is rare to have such a leisurely time, Camp Commander Liu, you have to cherish this moment." ”

I cherish a fart, the corners of Yuanguo's mouth twitched, and he was annoyed in his heart, you evil king is really hypocritical, you want me to do this, I don't want it, I want to eat, drink and have fun, get drunk and drunk, drunk and lie on the knees of beauties, wake up and take charge of the world, who wants to have nothing to do all day long to tease insects!

"The prince said very well, the villain must cherish it, it is the prince...... One day, after the surrender of the four seas, there will be time to enjoy this leisurely time. ”

"Settle the world, surrender from all over the world?" Zhao Ta smiled: "I'm afraid you're not talking about the prince!" ”

"Ah, the villain loses his mouth, the villain loses his mouth......" Yuan Guo pretended to slap himself, but said secretly, I don't believe that you, the evil king, don't have the intention of being an emperor, you see that your mouth can't be closed, what else is pretending, it is really a wolf's ambition, passers-by know it.

"Okay, don't pretend to beat yourself." Zhao Ta said: "I'm here to ask you something, do you know the four people of your Yuan family?" ”

"The Yuan family's spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Yuan Guo nodded: "I know, although these four are different in age from each other, they are the same generation as the villain, and their martial arts seem to be good, and they have been working as errands in Xingqing Mansion." ”

Zhao Ta said: "These four people have come to Zhuo Luo City. ”

"Come, come to Zhuo Luo City?" Yuan Guo's body immediately froze: "Lord Wang, you won't be the same as those two, and you're here to kill me, right?" ”

"What do you say?" Zhao Tan looked at him with a smile, he had taken Yuanguo to see Wang Heishan in the prison before, Wang Heishan confessed that if he couldn't take away the living, he would cut off Yuanguo's head and take it back to Xingqing Mansion, Yuanguo almost died of anger on the spot.

"Sister, you are so ruthless!" Yuan Guo beat his chest and scolded: "I think when I was young, there was a piece of rock candy, I divided it into two halves, half for you to eat, and the other half for you to eat, there are two chicken legs, my big one is for you to eat, and the small one is also for you to eat, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I was so good to you, and now you want to kill me!" ”

"Why did you give it all?" Zhao Ta touched his chin and wondered, according to Yuanguo's virtue, it is right not to hide it at all.

"I, I...... I can't rob her! Yuan Guo stomped his foot angrily, "Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing, don't let me bump into you, I'm going to ask you if I bump into you, if you really want to kill your brother!" ”

Zhao Ta saw that he was a little crazy, shook his head and walked out of the small courtyard.

A few days later, Lu Dalai reported that the four members of the Yuan family in Songtao Building were inquiring everywhere, and they followed them separately, and finally found that the four of them had sneakily stepped on the spot near the United Army Division.

When Zhao Ta heard this, he called Zhang Xian and some people from the Broken Jade Building, secretly arranged and arranged it, and then took Yuanguo and the Bai family brothers on a trip one day later.

Although the soldiers first entered the city, they did not oppress and disturb the people, so the people of the party were not afraid much, and they just lived as before.

Zhao Ta was happy to see this kind of scene, the people of the party did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Western Xia court, after all, it was the blood of the nomadic people, once they went to the vast prairie to graze, how could they care about the emperor's court, the family was the most satisfying thing, and there was not much concept of what country the court was.

This is different from the agrarian society of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the Central Plains or the south of the Yangtze River, it is mainly based on farming, and farming requires land, land is the most important thing for the imperial court, many laws and regulations are related to land, and the emperor's government is also concerned about the gains and losses of the land, which invisibly binds the people of Li and the imperial court.

In fact, not only is the party item Xixia loose, but even the Liao State is similar, it doesn't matter if there is a lack of housing and land, pull a tent on the grassland, graze along the river for a living, it doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not, maybe you will go to another country while walking.

Nomadism is probably like this, whether it is a tribe or a court, in fact, it does not have much binding force on the people below.

Zhao Ta was happy about this scene, but Yuan Guo didn't want to look at it, and scolded in his heart that it was really a group of unconscionable things, the city was occupied by the Song people, and he still didn't care about it, and he didn't have the integrity of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism at all, but he forgot at the moment that he was actually the most disloyal and patriotic person in the entire Zhuo Luo City.

Several people swayed and walked towards the east of the city, there is the largest Buddhist temple in the city in the east, called Jiading Temple, the Buddha of Xixia, almost every city has a Buddhist temple, Xingqing Mansion is a large and small temple innumerable.

Burn a few pillars of incense in the temple, then go around to play and watch, this temple is different from Songshan Temple, inside is not divided into inside and outside, everywhere can be walked, there is half a hill behind can be climbed.

At this moment, it is already summer, the mountain is verdant, but most of the people who enter the temple are wishing and repaying their wishes, and they are all old residents of Zhuo Luocheng, so there are not many people who go to the mountain to climb and play.

Zhao Ta had never been here, so he walked to the back to see the scenery, and said with a smile: "Go to the side of the mountain and take a look." ”

Several people are not fast, out of the back door of Jiading Temple to the foot of the mountain, see a pavilion halfway up the mountain, and want to go up to watch the scenery, but at this moment, not far away suddenly sounded the sound of poetry.

The voice was crisp and pleasant, and it sounded like it came from the girl's mouth, and she only heard her chanting: "The spring is bright and the spring breeze blows." ”

Subsequently, a young man continued: "Summer flowers are brilliant and summer rain and thunder. ”

Then, the middle-aged man's tone appeared: "Autumn is high and cool, autumn is bleak." ”

Finally, it was an old man's tone: "Winter is cold and winter snow flies." ”

Zhao Ta and the others turned their heads to look, but it was four people walking towards them.

Among the four of them was a girl dressed in a pink, delicate and lively, with bright eyes and an emerald flute in her hand.

Behind him was an open-minded young man, with a red face, a cracked mouth that seemed to be very happy, and a sledgehammer in his hand that resembled an iron shop.

Then there was a shabby middle-aged literati in a blue and white patched robe, with a sad look on his face, holding a book in one hand and a judge's pen in the other.

Finally, there was the old man, even though it was very hot at the moment, but he was wrapped in a short sheepskin jacket and carried a wooden stick on his shoulder, which was thick at one end and thin at the other, similar to the shape of a mace, except that there were no spikes on it.

Zhao Ta stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost!" ”

Yuan Guo was taken aback at the moment, and his two eyes widened: "Childe, Childe, they are the people of the Yuan family, they are the spring, summer, autumn and winter......"

As he spoke, he hid behind Zhao Ta.

Zhao Tayi stretched out his hand and lifted him back, frowning and said, "What are you afraid of, aren't you also from the Yuan family!" ”

Yuan Guoqiang squeezed out a smile: "Childe, I, I'm a native of the Great Song Dynasty now." ”

I heard the girl say slightly mockingly in front of her: "Brother Eleven, when did you become a Song person?" ”

"I don't know you, who is your brother, you shut up for me!" Yuan Guo was originally very scared, but seeing that Zhao Ta was calm, he thought that Zhuo Luocheng was the territory of this evil king at the moment, and the evil king would not put himself in danger, maybe there would be some arrangements for an ambush earlier, so he didn't need to worry about it, so he straightened his chest and rebuked angrily.

"Brother Eleven, don't you even recognize your ancestors!" The red-faced young man sneered when he heard this.

"Childe, childe......" Yuan Guo ignored the young man and whispered to Zhao Ta: "The weapons in these four hands are famous, and they have a device mechanism inside, and the last three words of the poem just now are the names of the weapons." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ta raised his eyebrows: "The spring breeze blows, the summer rain thunders, the autumn is bleak, and the winter snow flies?" ”

"Exactly, these four weapons are family heirlooms of the Yuan family, and they are either hidden weapons, or they can change shape, which is very vicious."

"Old Eleven, you actually leaked the secret of our weapons, it seems that you really took refuge in Song Gou." The shabby literati sighed, with a sad face.

"What do you know, the thief of the Yuan family, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, this is called good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the master to do things, and those who know the times are Junjie! It's a shame that you've read so many books, and you don't even understand such a simple truth. ”

"You ......," the middle-aged shabby scribe trembled with anger when he heard this.

"What kind of verbal dispute are you three having with this scum, there are many nights and dreams in the enemy army here, if you don't take him down quickly, kill the rest!" The old man in the sheepskin jacket spoke.

The other three glanced at each other, their footsteps flashed, and they rushed towards Zhao Ta.

Yuan Guo screamed in fright and ran backwards, but after running a few steps, he heard the sound of "poof, poof" falling to the ground behind him.

He was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that the four of them had all fallen to the ground in spring, summer, autumn and winter, all grinning with painful expressions.

Looking at Zhao Ta again, he was reaching out to touch his chin, and looked at the four of them and said lightly: "But it's barely a first-class martial arts, so you dare to come to assassinate and rob people?" Yuanjing sent you to be a waste, and you can't help but look down on this king too much! ”
