In the morning, the three watches of the civil and military officials dressed neatly, standing at the door of the Jinluan Palace, were talking about state affairs with you and me, Lu Xiufu said: "I didn't expect it!" The Mongolian army is so strong, strong attack on the Western countries, the Western countries have been defeated, my Southern Song Dynasty is also forced to make the precarious, the Southern Song Dynasty's national fortunes have been in a sluggish state, now what worries me the most is that the Mongolian army is strong, and there is no force to compete with it, early evening one day the Southern Song Dynasty will also become Mongolia's plate of food, replaced by him, after saying a heavy sigh.

Jia Rudao sneered when he heard this: "What did Lu Xiang say, no matter how unbearable my Southern Song Dynasty is, it will not be as weak as you said, no one can compete with it, saying this is really holding the will of others to destroy their own prestige, for example, Wanyan Shengjun, the son of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wen Tianxiang, Zhang Shijie and other generals are not generous and righteous, heroic and unyielding generals, there has never been a defeat in front of them, it is really invincible, and it is brave to move forward, doesn't it make people happy!" ”

Lu Xiufu sighed again and said: "Having said that, although they have made great achievements, now the Mongolian army has been overwhelmed by a large army, the soldiers are strong and strong, all of them are brave and good at fighting, where they pass through is like a broken bamboo, there is only one step away from the capital of Lin'an, no matter how powerful the generals of our army are, it is no longer possible to resist the trampling of the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army, my God, is my Southern Song Dynasty destined to be broken, trampled by the Mongolian army, and the mountains and rivers of the Southern Song Dynasty will be handed over to people in one hundred and fifty-two years?" After saying that, tears rained down, and his voice began to choke.

Wanyan Kangbo said: "Lu Xiang should not be so sad and move the sky, put it to death and be born, maybe there will be a turnaround, look at the sky, it is not far from the fifth watch, wait until the early dynasty to the lobby to discuss, the civil and military officials believe that there will be a good way to deal with it." ”

Lu Xiufu's lips trembled slightly, and said: "The Mongols are strong and strong, the offensive is menacing, unstoppable, all the way to kill six generals and pass five levels, and soon they will hit Lin'an City, how can you tell me not to worry." ”

Wanyan Zhongbo said: "It's useless to worry now, we can only think about it in the long run, and think of the perfect strategy to solve the problem." ”

Zhang Shijie stepped forward and said: "The country is broken, and it is the responsibility of the husband, even if all our civil and military officials shed the last drop of blood, we must defend the last bit of dignity for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

At this time, it has come to the fifth watch, the gate of the Jinluan Palace has been opened, a red carpet extends from the door to the front of the throne of Daxiong, the Jinluan Hall is particularly stylish, the lights are flickering, the whole hall is brightly lit, like day, the Empress Dowager Zheng is holding a seven or eight-year-old child, this child is Zhao Yu, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, slowly walked from the red carpet of the hall to the dragon chair of the main hall, sat firmly on the dragon chair, and the civil and military officials followed closely behind each of them and stood in two rows on both sides of the red carpet, bowed and bowed, and said in unison: " Long live my emperor, long live."

Song Shaodi Zhao Yu waved his left hand forward and said: "Zhong Aiqing is flat"

The civil and military officials stood up straight, stood in place without moving, standing next to Zhao Yu, the young emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the eunuch Li Quanhai said loudly: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." ”

Lu Xiufu walked straight to the middle of the red carpet with Chao Wat in his hand and said: "The minister has this play, now the Mongolian army has become an encirclement and is pressing towards the border of my Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army is strong and strong, all brave and good at fighting, their strength cannot be underestimated, now what I am most afraid of is that although the strength of our army is indestructible, if it is broken by that side, the Mongolian army will also drive straight in, and smash the Yellow Dragon, at that time, the power of our army will also be in danger, and the mountains and rivers of my Great Song Dynasty will fall into the hands of the Mongolian army, and the century-old foundation of the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in one fell swoop. When I think of this, I feel an indescribable pain in my heart. After speaking, his eyes were stained with tears, and his lips trembled slightly.

When Zhao Yu heard this, his heart began to be a little timid, and he said very calmly on the surface: "According to Lu Xiang, the Mongolian soldiers are strong and strong, brave and good at fighting, even if our army comes to defend it as solid as gold, in case that side is broken by the Mongolian army, Lin'an City will be full of corpses, mountains and rivers will be broken, and what face will I go to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future," After speaking, his voice began to choke.

Empress Dowager Zheng moved slightly behind the curtain, and her lips opened slightly: "It's useless to be sad and sad at a critical juncture now, you have to think of a good way to solve the problem, although the Mongolian army is brave and good at fighting, the strength of our army's fierce generals is also not to be underestimated, the number of our army is more than 200,000, and the number of Mongolian troops is only 100,000. ”

Lu Xiufu nodded and said, "I will definitely not disappoint the holy will of the Queen Mother," and retreated to his original position after speaking.

Wanyan Kangbo walked to the center of the red carpet with Chao Wat in his hand and said: "The minister has a performance, now the war is tight, and the Mongolian army is getting closer and closer to Lin'an City, when the soldiers are coming to the city, our army and the people will definitely be panicked, and the will to fight will be lost. ”

Jia Rudao said: "After listening to General Yan's strength to pull out the mountains and cover the world, a Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand has killed many Mongolian generals, and there has never been a defeat at all, but now the rear Shangshu is saying so, just shirking, not taking the national disaster to heart, in your heart, is it already retreating, and you want to give up the great rivers and mountains of the Southern Song Dynasty to the Mongolian army." ”

Wanyan Kangbo was angry when he heard this, turned his head and glared at Jia Rudao fiercely, and said fiercely: "As the left minister, you actually said some rumors above the court, our Wanyan family has been doing their best for the court for generations, without a trace of slackness, but now in your mouth, you say that we have the heart to give up the great rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty to the Mongolian army, are you right for your conscience?" If you have the ability, you can also send an army to compete with the Mongolian army, which shows your man's ability, and he will not talk nonsense in the court all day long. ”

Jia Rudao sneered: "Don't think that you generals can fight, don't underestimate that our civilian officials can still kill the Mongolian army and return with a complete victory, and you will be impressed by the time." ”

Wanyan Kangbo said: "At that time, I will wait for Jia Xiang's good news to come, and I will definitely hold a banquet for you to wash the dust, and then you will have as much prestige as you want, oh, I remember that tomorrow is the battle of Huxin Pavilion, why don't you let Jia Xiang go to Huxin Pavilion to try your hand?" ”

Jia Rudao felt a pang in his heart, and scolded secretly in his heart, "I was playing tricks just now, what kind of battle will I fight there, good for you to finish Yan Zhongbo, the bamboo pole beats the snake with the pole, I didn't expect to say two words to you, but let me go to the battlefield to die, if I survive this time, I will definitely take revenge." ”

Wanyan Kangbo looked at his expression, was silent, suspicious in his heart, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Jia Xiang is scared, and there is no reply until now." ”

Jia Rudao said: "Who said that I was scared, the emperor, you will let me send 20,000 soldiers to Huxin Pavilion tomorrow to fight to the death with the Mongolian army, and I will lead the Mongolian army to kill a piece of armor, if I win, I will never return to the court to gain a foothold in the officialdom." ”

Zhao Yu patted the dragon chair with his small hand and said: "I didn't expect Jia Xiang to be in the same position, under one person, above ten thousand people, but he was bent on sharing the burden for the imperial court and solving the urgent needs of the people in front of him. ”

Jia Rudao heard Zhao Yu say that he had given him so many rewards, but his heart blossomed, and he said happily: "The emperor can give Weichen some high rewards, it is the honor of Weichen, I am grateful, Weichen is willing to do it again, even if I sacrifice my life this time, I have no regrets." ”

Wanyan Kangbo secretly shouted in his heart, "Jia seems to be Dao, Jia is like Dao, don't be happy too early, even if you are rewarded with these things, you don't have the life to enjoy them, I have been galloping on the battlefield for decades, and there are as many as twenty or thirty battles with the Mongolian army, and there are countless strong generals in the Mongolian army, how can you be so underestimated, this time you are facing the Mongolian fierce general Tagu and Han, and you have no room for survival." ”

Jia Rudao said secretly: "Old man, you want to harm me at this time, I didn't expect that I would have such a big harvest, people are not as good as heaven, it is really a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, and I didn't expect that there will be endless glory and preciousness in the future." ”

Jia Rudao and Wanyan Kangbo stood in their original positions one after another, and Shangguan Yifei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood on the red carpet with his hand in his hand and said: "I have a book, and now that the Mongolian army is strong and strong, I don't know if I can have a plan." ”

Empress Dowager Yang said: "As long as it is good for the community, but it doesn't hurt to say it, now that the war is tense, one more opinion is more beneficial, if there is something bad, our monarchs and ministers will discuss it well, there will always be a solution to the current problem, you can boldly say it!" ”

Shangguan Wenyu said: "My idea is that the country is now in danger, according to my inquiry, all sects and factions are now coming to Jiuhua Mountain to compete in martial arts to determine the victory or defeat to choose the leader of the martial arts alliance, each of them has unique skills, and the art is overwhelming, no matter how powerful their Mongolian army is, it is as easy as pinching an egg in their hands, it is better to call on people from all factions of martial arts to help in the name of the imperial court, and then they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and they will fall into the water and have nowhere to escape, then it is called happy!" ”

Zhao Yu said loudly: "The Ministry of Rites is really wonderful, if you let those people from various sects be the vanguard, they are the elite of the elite, and they will not be able to deal with those strong Mongolian troops, I will immediately draft an order, and the eight hundred miles of fast horses will rush to Jiuhua Mountain to order the heroes to come to help, so that the Great Song Dynasty can regain its strength." ”

Then he said: "What do you think about this, and what is a better way to say it to solve the urgent need." ”

At this time, the civil and military officials no longer put forward any opinions, and there was no good way to solve the urgent need for the Great Song Dynasty, so they hurriedly bowed with a hug and said: "The ministers are reconsidered"

Zhao Yu said: "Since everyone unanimously agrees that there is no other intention, the only way to use this method is to let people from all factions of martial arts come to be the vanguard to solve the urgent need, I hope that this time we can let the Great Song Dynasty tide over the difficulties." ”

All the officials turned their heads and said: "It's good now, so that the crisis of our Great Song Dynasty can be alleviated, and we don't have to live in fear anymore, but I don't know how long this kind of good life can last." ”

Zhao Yu said: "Zhong Aiqing still has any good opinions, although they are put forward, there is no good result just by discussing below?" ”

At this time, there was silence under the hall, and there was no sound at all, Zhao Yu looked at the ministers, and by the way, he began to draft the decree with the four treasures of the study on the table, and in a blink of an eye, the decree had been drawn up, rolled up, and delivered to the eunuch Li Quanhai next to him.

Li Quanhai put the holy decree in his sleeve and said: "Emperor, you can rest assured that I will definitely send the holy decree to Jiuhua Mountain in good condition, and pass it to the heads of various martial arts factions. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "This is a long way to Jiuhua Mountain, there are many crises, and I will go to the life of Youguan, in order not to have an accident, I specially selected six masters from the harem to protect you, and the burden of the task here falls on you, I hope there will be no accidents." ”

Li Quanhai said: "Even if I go up to the Sword Mountain and go down to the Sea of Fire, I will not fail in my mission to send the Holy Decree to Jiuhua Mountain, which will definitely solve this urgent need and let the Great Song Dynasty regain its vitality." After speaking, he bowed and stepped back, and came to the palace courtyard, there were six black sweaters, burly and strong, each with a three-foot-long sword hanging from his waist, and seven sweaty and bloody horses beside him, and suddenly a black-clothed sweater said: "Gonggong Li has finally come to you, we have been waiting here for more than an hour, and I don't know what His Majesty told us to wait for you?" What do we need to do? ”

Li Quanhai said: "There is a special thing for us to do today, which is to go to Jiuhua Mountain to pass the decree, so that all the martial arts can send people to help our army solve the current urgent need, and let the six of you protect me well, just in case something goes wrong." ”

The big man said with a smile: "The six of us are all first-class masters of the Great Inner personally selected by His Majesty, and our kung fu is not a problem, this trip will definitely be able to protect our father-in-law, and we will arrive at Jiuhua Mountain smoothly, convey the holy decree, and order the heroes to help our army." ”

After saying that, the seven people turned over and got on their horses, clamped their feet between the horse's belly, twisted the reins with both hands, drove and drove, the horses were in pain, and the seven horses flew straight towards the palace gate like arrows from the string, and the smoke and dust swept up, everything was shrouded in smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, the seven people had disappeared in the misty smoke and dust.

They traveled two hours to the post station to change horses, in case the horses were too tired and dragged down the progress of the trip, and this time must not be sloppy.

They had been driving for another hour, and a dense forest appeared before them, and the dense foliage of this forest covered the top, like a large umbrella, and above the ground there was only the light cast by the sun in the gaps between the branches and leaves, mottled and strange.

The seven people immediately turned over and got off the horse, there was a stone tablet in the grass of the road, and the stone tablet was carved with the words of wild boar forest, Li Quanhai said: "The seven of us have spent three hours along the way, and we have not drunk a sip of water, eaten a mouthful of dry food, and the bones are about to flash all the way, so we still go to the forest to rest our feet to relieve our fatigue." ”

Splitting the empty palm Yulang Feng said: "What my father-in-law said is exactly what I want, let's rest in this forest for a while, and then we will hurry in time, in case we delay the time to pass the decree to Jiuhua Mountain, no one can afford it!" ”

The other seven of them also nodded their heads in agreement, and the seven of them walked straight to the forest, tied their horses to several big trees, and several people sat on several big stones, each eating dry food and drinking water, and after a while, they each put dry food and water bags in their horse pockets, and were just about to turn over and get on their horses, when suddenly there was a hahaha strange laughter from the forest, which was terrifying and weird, deafening, and the birds in the forest flew out directly from the branches.

When the seven of them heard this, their hearts were immediately twisted like knives, and they were in pain, and they wished that there was a hole in the ground that they could get into, so they hurriedly stuffed their two index fingers into their ears, and used all their strength to resist this thick laughter, so that they would no longer be corroded by this laughter.

Splitting the empty palm Yulang Feng said loudly: "Where is the rat, hide your head and show your tail, pretend to be a ghost here, why don't you show your true body and compete again." ”

The cold laughter gradually stopped, and he said lightly: "You are probably the masters of the imperial court and Li Quanhai and Li Gonggong, since you don't know whether you are alive or dead to come to this wild boar forest, you really don't know the height of the sky, you take a closer look at the white bones on the ground, they are all people who have entered and have no exit, and there is only one way to die when you get here, and you are no exception," After speaking, seven figures fell from the branches.

The seven of them were each wearing Western Regions robes, each holding a copper cymbal in each of their hands, and their cold eyes dodged the sharp light, staring at the seven of them fiercely, ready to go.

Yu Langfeng sneered: "It turned out to be the Seven Lamas of the Kujue Temple in Tibet? Who did I think it was? I often hear that the kung fu of the seven lamas of the Kujue Temple is famous far and wide, and even the entire Central Plains are full of praise, and the words are back, the seven of us have always had no grudges and no enmity with you Kujue Temple, why do you seven set up an ambush in this forest to be our enemy, you can know the purpose of our visit. ”

The leading lama Dabaguo said coldly: "Although you don't have any hatred with our Kujue Temple, but the purpose of your trip has a lot to do with us, you must be for the little emperor to send a decree to Jiuhua Mountain, so that those martial arts gates are sent to support the Southern Song Dynasty as the vanguard, want to fight against the Great Yuan, want to weaken the power of the Mongolian army, am I correct in this statement?" ”

Li Quanhai said: "I didn't expect you to really have the ability to calculate, since you guessed so well, it really makes my family admire it a lot, since you know the reason why you still stop us here, you can commit a capital crime, and you will punish the nine clans." ”

After hearing this, Dabaguo smiled and said: "The Southern Song Dynasty you said has long been in name only, and it is difficult to protect itself, and you still want to punish the nine clans and daydream!" In our eyes, only the powerful Dayuan can truly unify the mountains and rivers, and it is an irreplaceable position in our minds. ”

Li Quanhai said: "I didn't expect that you are also one of the few heroes of the generation in Tibet, but you have become the eagle and dog minions of the Mongolian Tatars, I am really ashamed of you people." ”
