Knowing that someone wanted to harm Yue Fei, Fu Tianpeng beat his horse like a meteor and galloped all the way back to the camp. After seeing Yue Fei and the joint venture generals, Fu Tianpeng told Yue Fei in detail what happened on the way.

After Wang Zuo learned about the situation, he took Niu Gao and Shi Quan to strengthen the patrol in the camp, and sent shrewd soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to the nearby town to inquire about the news. After several days of daytime inspections and night patrols, the camp and the surrounding villages and towns within a radius of 100 miles were calm and calm, and there was nothing unusual.

Yue Fei saw that the soldiers were sleepless for their own safety, and he was very upset, so he informed Niu Gao that everything would be as usual, and all the soldiers and generals would rest in their respective camps.

Niu Gao didn't comply, and Yue Fei told him that if he didn't obey the commander's order, he would also be beaten with fifty military sticks. Niu Gao was so frightened that he covered his ass and fled.

In the dark night, the moon was shining brightly and the breeze was refreshing, Yue Fei opened the military book in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, studied the marching strategy, and unconsciously, he felt that it was dark in front of him. He knew that this was exhaustion, so he walked out of the tent.

Yue Fei passed through the company camp and ran to the trail behind the mountain. This trail is paved with bluestone, coiling and rising according to the mountain, and looks like a sleeping dragon from a distance. Walk through the trail, walk to two or three miles, there is a lake viewing pavilion on the top of the mountain, Yue Fei is busy and empty, often come here to play the qin.

Clear waves and blue lakes, gulls and birds gather, sometimes there are small boats along the deep still water rowing by. Wait until dusk Danxia reflects, the water and sky are sparkling, and the beautiful scenery makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Yue Fei came to the Huxin Pavilion, looking at the distant mountains of Qinghu Lake, and the night breeze was blowing on his resolute face. At this time, he no longer has the boredom of being a suitable talent. After looking at it for a while, Yue Fei sat on the stone bench and began to play the guqin.

The music of the guqin is sometimes excited, like a horn calling the camp flag to wave, and sometimes softly, like a boat crossing a clear stream and falling flowers and chasing water. Playing and playing, Yue Fei sang in his mouth: "Last night, the cold worm couldn't stop singing. Shocked back to the dream of a thousand miles, it has been three watches. Get up and walk around the stairs alone, people are quiet, and the moon outside the curtain is dim. The white head is famous. The old mountain pine and bamboo are old, blocking the return journey. I want to put my heart into Yaoqin. There are few bosom friends, and who listens to broken strings. ”

Thinking of the traitors in the DPRK and China, and the saint blindly coveted comfort, Yue Fei's sorrow came to his heart back and forth. Looking at the delicate moon and listening to the sound of high willow cicadas, Yue Fei not only sighed.

At this moment, someone laughed wildly: "Hahaha, Yue Shuai doesn't have a colleague like Zhou Gongjin, and it is difficult to find a bosom friend like Zhong Ziqi, is it possible to follow Boya and wrestle the piano?" ”

This person's voice is just right, and the person is near. He stood less than a foot in front of Yue Fei, holding a bamboo flute in his hand.

Yue Fei looked at the visitor carefully, this person was more than nine feet tall, wearing a blue satin coat on his head, and a pair of soft shoes under his feet. Although he pressed the hat very low, Yue Fei couldn't see the appearance of the person who came. But judging from his crisp voice, he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.

This person followed him here late at night, he must have a plan, Yue Fei asked the young man what he was doing here?

When the young man heard Yue Fei's question, he sneered and said, "The surname Yue, someone told me that you deducted military salaries, took advantage of leading the army's rations, formed gangs, and plotted against you. ”

After Yue Fei heard the young man's words, he said to him with a straight expression: "This young man, where did you hear these false rumors?" I, Yue Fei, are thirsty for drinking the blood of the knife head, sleeping in the saddle, and going north to welcome the two saints back to the court, how can I have selfish delusions? If you don't believe it, you can ask the battalion generals. ”

The young man sneered again after hearing this, and he told Yue Fei that the words of the soldiers cannot be counted, and some of them are afraid of their majesty, or some of them are connected with you.

Yue Fei saw that the young man didn't believe his words, so he asked him to go to distant towns and villages to inquire and see what the people had to say. The young man showed his sword, and he told Yue Fei to talk nonsense, and he was here to take his life today. Because the person who entrusted him with things is a person worthy of his life and death.

In the face of danger, Yue Fei's face was unfazed. The young man's feet were swept up in the strong wind, and the sword in his hand sucked the water from the dragon, stabbing straight at Yue Fei's front heart.

Just when Xiao Jian was inches away from Yue Fei's heart, someone suddenly appeared and drew a knife to stop the young man's move.

It was none other than the young man Fu Tianpeng who came to save Shuai. Originally, Wang Zuo expected that the enemy would see that the camp and its surroundings were well defended, and there was no chance to attack him, but now that the marshal had withdrawn from the patrol, he would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So Wang Zuo asked Fu Tianpeng to secretly protect Yue Fei. Today, Yue Fei came to the Huxin Pavilion to play the qin, and happened to meet the assassin, Fu Tianpeng decided to capture this assassin on the spot.

Fu Tianpeng's knife rolled up the dragon, like a meteor breaking through the sky, he stepped down to make the wind, and slashed towards the young man with all his might. When the young man saw Fu Tianpeng's blade pressing, he didn't dodge or dodge, but swung his sword upward. The butterflies in his hands were swirling, and the sword flew up and down, as fast as the Chu River. Fu Tianpeng's swordsmanship is fierce, and the young man's swordsmanship is feminine, and the battle between the two is actually between the two of them, no matter how good they are.

In the face of the thrilling battle in front of him, Yue Fei still played the piano. As the sound of the piano sounded again, the young man, who was inextricably beaten, suddenly pushed his sword sideways and jumped out of the battle circle.

He shouted at Fu Tianpeng: "Wait, I have something to say." ”

Fu Tianpeng put the knife back into its sheath and stood not far from Yue Fei, watching the young man's movements vigilantly.

The young man gave Yue Fei a salute and asked him why he played the song "Chu Jiangyin", Yue Fei got up and told the young man that this was taught to him by the old owner Shen Zhuang when he passed through Shenjiazhuang in Suzhou in his early years.

After listening to Yue Fei's story, the young man sighed to the sky, and tears fell like rain for a while. It turned out that this young man was none other than Shen Hansong, the only son of the old owner of Shen. The old owner of Shen Zhuang is a noble person, humble and open-minded, and often helps poor neighbors. When Jingkang was in trouble, he scattered all his family resources and supported the imperial court to recruit troops and horses to recover the lost territory. However, due to the betrayal of the evil slaves, the old owner of Shen was killed by the thief Kou Luqiang. The little master, Shen Hansong, was fortunately rescued by Baichuan, the director of Changle Gate, and accepted him as a righteous son and taught him martial arts. Now Shen Hansong has come down the mountain to eliminate violence and peace on the rivers and lakes and punish traitors.

After understanding the ins and outs of the qin music, Shen Hansong's excited mood gradually returned to calm. He knew very well that with his father's character, the friends he made must also be capable men and sages who are eager for justice and righteousness, and loyal and pure.

Thinking of this, Shen Hansong bowed deeply to Yue Fei, and said with shame: "Marshal, please forgive Han Song for offending Huwei, today's matter must be a big article, I want to go back and ask for an understanding." Farewell. ”

Yue Fei was trying to keep Shen Hansong, and he also wanted to find out why he attacked him, but Shen Hansong was so successful that he was nowhere to be seen in the blink of an eye.

Fu Tianpeng saw Yue Fei's thoughts, and said to him: "Yue Shuai, please rest assured, I will definitely go out to investigate and visit when I have time, and I will truthfully return the whole matter to you." ”

Yue Fei nodded, it was not early now, and the two of them went down the mountain along the original road and went back to the camp to rest.

After Zhao Xueqing arrived in Zhenjiang, she handed Yue Shuai's letter to Han Shizhong. After handing over the official business, she went to see Liang Hongyu, and the mother and daughter reunited after a long absence, so naturally they had endless words. On the second day, after Han Shizhong explained the deployment of the generals of the joint venture, he led his wife Liang Hongyu, son Han Yanzhi and daughter-in-law Zhao Xueqing to set off.

The marshal rode lightly on a fast horse and soon arrived at Yue Fei's camp. After the two marshals who were loyal to the country and had great achievements in war met, their hands were tightly clasped together. The enthusiasm and pride surging from their hearts greatly encouraged the soldiers present.

Fu Tianpeng was very happy to see Han Yanzhi, and the two sworn brothers were also confidants with a thousand cups of wine. That night, Yue Fei's camp was decorated with lanterns, drums and music, and it was a peaceful and lively scene.

During the banquet, Yue Fei asked Han Shizhong to tell the generals in the camp about the current situation of the war, and then Yue Fei said: "Marshal Han, Mrs., all the soldiers, although the Song and Jin countries have been facing each other for many years, the old wolf lord of the Jin State and the Jin Wushu have been eyeing the Central Plains. They not only fought with us on the battlefield to win or lose, but also sent martial arts people to assassinate our Central Plains anti-Jin generals and chivalrous soldiers. In the past, Yue always believed that only by establishing meritorious deeds on the battlefield could the situation be reversed, and now it seems that the heroes of the rivers and lakes are also a force that cannot be ignored. Only by working together can we go straight to Huanglong and recover the old rivers and mountains. ”

Yue Fei's words resonated, and everyone unanimously agreed with the marshal's opinion. Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu said to Yue Fei: "Marshal Yue, like you, I am a person who leads troops to fight, and I don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. But if you have any ideas, my wife and I will give your full support. ”

Yue Fei thanked Marshal Han for his unrequited loyalty and selfishness. He told everyone that the affairs of the rivers and lakes should naturally be handed over to the people of the rivers and lakes. However, the snake can't fly without a head, the bird can't fly without wings, and the people in the rivers and lakes are at ease, and they need both martial arts and virtues to convince people. Therefore, it is necessary to convene a heroic meeting and elect a person of high moral integrity to lead the group, so that orders can be conveyed and military discipline can be standardized.

Yue Fei's words stirred up a thousand waves, and the generals were gossiping, especially Niu Gao, who was even louder. He shouted loudly: "Big brother, I said you don't sell it, who can take on this heavy responsibility, I think you have already chosen someone in your heart." ”

As soon as Niu Gao's words fell, Yue Fei pretended to be angry and said: "Bold Niu Gao, what kind of system is it to be noisy in front of Marshal Han and his wife, if it weren't for the presence of the old marshal today, you will be punished with a hundred military sticks, so that your ass will bloom and you will be restless." ”

Niu Gao must have said this, stuck out his tongue and said: "Counting the previous suffering, it's all one hundred and fifty sticks, I'd better pretend to be dumb, or I really open my ass and flowers." ”

When the generals heard Niu Gao's words, they all laughed non-stop. After a while, Yue Fei waved his hand and said to everyone: "Since Niu Gao has revealed the mystery, then I won't sell it." I asked Tianpeng and Xue Qing to prepare for the Heroes Conference, just in the hope that Old Elder Zhao could serve as the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”

Yue Fei said and introduced Zhao Baihe to everyone. After Zhao Baihe got up, he hugged his fists and saluted the generals of the joint venture, and he said: "How can the old Zhao Baihe be virtuous, thanks to the love of the two marshals and all the heroes. I'm just a reckless, how dare I command martial arts? ”

Although Han Shizhong has never seen Zhao Baihe, he has heard of his prestige for a long time, this person is not only unfathomable in martial arts, but also chivalrous and righteous, and is deeply admired by people in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that Zhao Baihe was too polite, Han Shizhong said to him: "Old hero Zhao, you and I meet for the first time today, but I have already heard of your name. The old hero is well deserved. Now we are waiting for the Heroes Conference, and the heroes are affirmed. The family and the country are one, and we are waiting for the court to eat and drink, so naturally we want to live in the high temple and its people, and the old hero is in the rivers and lakes, and he is also worried about the king in the far distance of the rivers and lakes. Only when we are in one place and work together can we achieve great things. ”

After Han Shizhong's words were finished, Zhao Baihe's silver beard fluttered and he nodded again and again. He said to everyone: "Do you think so highly of the old and the decrepit, and the old and decrepit years will also make a leaping horse to make the last contribution to the stability of the society and the happiness of the people." ”

The crowd was greatly moved by the thunderous cheers. Yue Fei told Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing to step up preparations for the Hero Conference, and the two took the order to leave.
