The next day, Huo Xing'an said goodbye to Tan Weng. Huo Xing'an was going to Huokou Village to bid farewell to Wuzhan, and Tan Weng wanted to go back to arrange some chores because he was going to travel far away, so they made an appointment to meet outside the Changyi Gate in Zhongdu three days later.

After Huo Xing'an returned to Huokou Village, he found that Wu Zhan's home had been suspended for burial.

When Wu Zhan's daughter saw Huo Xing'an returning, she welcomed him into the hall and told him that Wu Zhan had died.

"Childe is kind, but my father didn't wait for you to come. The woman thanked him deeply. Huo Xing'an couldn't help but feel sorry. She took out a piece of paper and handed it to Huo Xing'an.

Huo Xingan looked at the paper, and wrote four words crookedly: Ling Tang died in vain. He read it out in confusion.

"It must be the effect of Childe's elixir, after you left, my father's eyes also lit up, and his mouth could open his mouth. ”

"What did he say?" Huo Xingan hurriedly asked.

The woman said, "None of us could hear what he was saying, and his voice was too low and muffled, so we fed him water to drink." My father later raised his finger, and someone reacted, so he immediately took a pen to him, and he used his last strength to mark these words on the paper, and then closed his eyes and left. I think this should be reserved for Childe......"

"Uncle Wu......" Huo Xingan sighed and read these four words again, "What do you want to tell me? What do you mean, do you mean that my mother was killed by someone?" he couldn't help but shudder.

He looked at the woman and asked her softly, "When Uncle Wu was alive, did he tell you anything about my mother?"

The woman said: "My father has been working in the Gongzi's Mansion for many years, and he has always been taken care of by the Lingtang, and he is very grateful. When my father was alive, he always said that Ling Tang was a very good lady to his subordinates. As for the words written by my father, I don't understand what they are. ”

Huo Xingan held these four words in the suicide note and felt that there must be a reason for it.

The woman suddenly remembered something: "There is one thing, I don't know if it is related to Lingtang." ”

"Auntie, please speak. ”

The woman recalled, "My father said an incident that happened on the day Ling Tang died. ”

"Oh?"

"That afternoon, my father was in the son's mansion, was sending things to the kitchen, saw Yahuan Xiaocui running in a panic, without waiting for him to ask, I saw Bo Sheba chasing from behind, Xiao Cui said to my father, 'Madame, she ......', before I finished speaking, I heard Bo Shuba shout to the girl Huan, 'What are you running to a dead girl'. Xiao Cui didn't dare to stay, and ran forward to the side room, but Na Bo Shuba chased after him with a palm. ”

"Xiao Cui was killed?"

I don't know if she was killed, and then Bojuba took her away. Because Xiaocui is Lingtang's personal maid, my father hurriedly went to inform Lingtang, but there was a person guarding the door of Lingtang's house and not letting him in, saying that Mrs. was asleep now. Soon after, Cui was found in a well. The family members all guessed that Boshu Bafei had killed the little girl, and the little girl was thrown into the well. Later, Bo Shuba also said that she liked Xiao Cui, and gave Xiao Cui's family a lot of silver to suppress the matter. ”

"It's a pity...... So, why were the people of Bosupa guarding my mother's house at that time, I remember that there were other mothers-in-law who were doing chores in the courtyard?"

"It's because of this that my father thinks that Xiaocui's death is very strange. And that day, until Xiaocui was found dead in the well, Lingtang had not come out. Later, the people of Bosupa called my father and asked my father to go to the royal doctor as soon as possible, saying that Lingtang was not feeling well. My father invited the royal doctor, but the imperial doctor couldn't save Ling Tang, and Ling Tang left that night......"

Huo Xingan wept and said: "Since my father's death, my mother has been very sad and in poor health, the royal doctor often comes, and prescribes a lot of medicine, and my mother doesn't need it," he recalled, "Bojuba and red beetles often come to visit my mother, and Bojuba has come the most, and he also sent me to the school to study with Abuhan's children." Huo Xing'an sighed, "I remember that after I came back that day, Bojuba hugged me and cried, and the red beetles also came, and they all hugged me and cried." ”

The woman sighed after him.

Huo Xingan looked at the piece of paper: "But since Uncle Wu left these four words, then my mother's death must be strange." He thought of the vague Imperial Physician, and thought to himself that he must know the inside story, and I should go back and ask him properly, but even if he knew something, he might not tell me. He remembered the woman's words about Xiaocui, and thought to himself that Na Bo Shuba was present at that time, and sent someone to guard the front of the house, could my mother's death have anything to do with him......?

"My dad left these four words, he must know something. By the way, my father also said one thing," the woman said, "After Xiaocui threw herself into the well, Na Boshuba found my father and asked him fiercely, what did Xiaocui say to him, my father didn't dare to say, so he shook his head and said no, Boshuba said to my father suspiciously, if you dare to go out and talk nonsense, be careful of your head." ”

"That Bojuba is really rude. ”

"After the funeral of Lingtang was completed, the families in Gongzi's mansion were scattered, and my father was afraid when he thought of Boshuba's words, so he returned to the township and did not dare to go to other people's mansions to do things again. ”

"Hey, it's hard to be a vulture......"

Huo Xing'an thought of the Wuzhan serving his father before and after the saddle for many years, and when he saw that the Wuzhan had been put into the coffin, he took out some silver taels to the woman to express his heart.

After thanking the woman and bowing to the deceased Wuzhan coffin, Huo Xingan walked out with sorrow. Now, he had another mystery in his mind. He felt that he was standing in a vast fog, unable to discern the past and to see the future.

He rode his horse with a heavy heart and slowly walked towards Zhongdu.

He came to the old mansion in Zhongdu. After my mother's death, one of my father's maternal relatives used to take care of the mansion here, and that cousin had recently traveled far away, leaving only the locked door of the mansion. Huo Xing'an rode around Huo's mansion on horseback, looking at the verdant garden trees and the birds and birds in the love house, and he had a lot of thoughts. He wanted to go in and touch the familiar stone horses, stone tables, familiar pillars, and anarchies, everything he was familiar with...... But I still dispelled this idea.

His eyes slowly changed from confused and withered to firm and strong, and he said to the empty courtyard and eaves, Father, mother, and son must find out what happened, catch the person who killed you, and avenge you!

He galloped towards the avenue outside the house, as if he was trying to get rid of the reluctance in his heart, and as if he was trying to break through the obstacles in front of him.

Three days later, Huo Xing'an came to Changyi Gate to meet Tan Weng.

Tan Weng brought a lot of people this time, and it was mighty, as if the family had moved west. As usual, he sat in the rickety jar, smoking his pipe to his heart's content. He invited Huo Xingan to enter the altar as well, but Huo Xingan remembered the fishy smell in the altar, but politely declined.

Tan Weng wanted to go directly to the west, passing from the boundary of Xijing, he asked Huo Xing'an for the route, and Huo Xing'an wanted to go to Fuzhou. Tan Weng felt that Fuzhou was not far from Xijing, so he walked with Huo Xingan and went to Fuzhou first.

Huo Xing'an went to Fuzhou to ask the royal doctor again, and by the way, he also wanted to see Brother Su again. Tan Weng said: "I heard that Mongolia is attacking Fuzhou. ”

"When I left Fuzhou, the Mongols had just withdrawn. Huo Xing'an asked Tan Weng if he would be worried about the Mongols attacking Fuzhou again. Tan Weng laughed and said, "Brother Huo Xian is not afraid, how can I be afraid? If I really meet the Mongolian Tartars, then kill a few more Mongolians." ”

Huo Xingan also smiled meaningfully.

The altar man sat in the altar held by everyone, walked very slowly, and often stopped to drink and rest. The altar man is very greedy for a cup, and he simply spends his days without alcohol. In addition to carrying his jar, he also carried several jars of good wine. Tan Weng was grateful to Huo Xing'an for his return to heaven, and after drinking it once, he pulled Huo Xingan into a forest to teach him a few kung fu skills that he had never seen before.

"Brother Huo Xian," Tan Weng said, "My Tan Weng's kung fu is mostly from the evil sect, I originally wanted to pass it on to you, but seeing that Huo Xiandi is a decent person, it is better not to learn these evil kung fu, lest I end up like me." But I have lived in the altar all the year round, and I have realized a few tricks, which are still somewhat useful. ”

Seeing that Huo Xing'an was very interested, Tan Weng practiced in the forest. He was lucky, turning in small steps, spinning above his waist, his arms and hands wavy and undulating, as if they were dancing softly, and they didn't look powerful, but the fallen leaves on the ground swirled up, and the leaves above seemed to be sucked into a wind vortex, and the tips of the leaves pointed at the altar and shook non-stop. Tan Weng's arm shook, and the rising chaos flew out in all directions, and the branches of the tree also bounced back to the trunk of the tree, rattling. Huo Xingan also felt the wind blowing on his face.

The altar changed his body and suddenly stood upside down, this time with his palms on the ground and his legs swirling upward, stirring up the leaves on the ground and on the branches in the same way. After that, he held his feet with his hands and turned on the ground, Huo Xingan saw that his palms were constantly thrown out during the rotation, and he was a little dazzled, which was very similar to the giant altar rolling on the ground. The altar turned around a few times, and a somersault stood still, and there was no half of the fallen leaves under him.

Seeing Huo Xingan's eyes widen, Tan Weng smiled: "Don't look at the only three moves, but when many people surround you, it will make them collide with each other, and they can't take care of themselves, and their power can only be applied to themselves." There are only leaves here, and if it were a person, they would stumble over each other and lie down in a circle. ”

Huo Xingan praised: "These three tricks of Tanweng are very wonderful, I don't know what they are called?"

"These three tricks are what I thought of in the altar, as for the name, I think it should be called Spiral Heaven and Earth. ”

"It's really just right, wonderful!"

Tan Weng laughed. So Tan Weng taught Huo Xingan how to perform these three tricks, and Huo Xingan quickly learned it. Seeing that Huo Xing'an's internal strength was insufficient, Tan Weng said: "Even if Brother Huo Xian can't knock down all the people who are besieging you, he can make it difficult for them to get close." Huo Xingan nodded.

Tan Weng said: "These three tricks are easy to use in a melee, but when you encounter the Eagle King's old thief's sleeve wind knife that suddenly uses cold arrows, especially when he shoots multiple swords, it will be difficult to work." It's better to be still, it's better to be fast, it's better to run than to fly, it's always been like this. The Eagle King old thief has only practiced fast knives for decades, and has reached the point of 'not seeing his knife, only listening to his voice'. ”

"I see you dodge his knife very quickly. ”

Tan Weng said: "I am guarding him in the open, and I also have the help of the altar, if he attacks secretly, I probably can't dodge." Fortunately, every time the old thief appeared, there was an eagle call to remind him. ”

"No wonder it's called Liaodong Eagle King. ”

"He raised the eagle and fed it to men, and he was not afraid to see people. ”

Huo Xing thought to himself, feeding people meat? That is too vicious! Even the eagles raised are like this, which can be seen from their people.

After teaching Huo Xing'an the tricks of turning the world around, Huo Xing'an thanked him, and wanted to be commensurate with the master, but Tan Weng waved his hand and refused, saying that these three moves were not a master's success, not commendable, and he was not a sect of rivers and lakes, so he should be grateful to Huo Xing'an for giving medicine.

After a break, they came to Fuzhou.

The soldiers and civilians in Fuzhou City were building fortified walls, and Huo Xing'an asked, it turned out that the Mongolian army had arrived outside the city. Huo Xingan hurriedly went to see Su Huaiting.

Su Huaiting was injured, his left arm was wrapped in a cloth, and he was resting on the bed. Seeing Huo Xing'an coming, he was very happy. Huo Xing'an asked him: "Why did the Mongols come back again?" ”

Su Huaiting said: "At that time, the retreat of the Chagatai Department was false news, and we caught up with him from two walks of life, trying to catch him off guard, but we knew that Temujin's army had already arrived and set up an ambush, and we suffered a loss and could only flee back." Temujin was very cunning. ”

Huo Xingan said worriedly: "How many days does Brother Su think Fuzhou will be kept?"

Temujin seemed determined to succeed this time. Fuzhou is not a pass, there is no natural danger to defend, we can only build a high city wall, and the day we guard is a day. Temujin had already attacked once, because our city was fortified and had not been attacked, and in the past two days we have been tightening up the wall and using all the people in the city. However, the Mongols were not idle, and Temujin was also building mounds. ”

"Oh?"

"Their mounds are very fast, and in a few days they will be higher than our walls. ”

"So what do we do?"

"I can't panic, I can only defend carefully. ”

Su Huaiting saw that Huo Xing'an's mood seemed to be a little low, so he asked, "Brother Xing'an went back to see the old man this time, can it be smooth?"

Huo Xingan didn't want to hide it, so he told Su Huaiting about the last words written by Wu Zhan on his deathbed, and also told Su Huaiting what Wu Zhan's daughter said.

Su Huaiting pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Ling Tang was really killed. As the saying goes, people are going to die, and their words are true. The last message of the vulture, not to explain the family affairs, but to inform you that Ling Tang died in vain, it can be seen that he has been in his heart for a long time and does not want to take it to the soil. Therefore, Ling Tang's unjust death is undoubted. ”

"Oh. Huo Xing'an nodded secretly.

"That Boshuba chasing Xiaocui is obviously trying to kill people. ”

"Kill people?"

"Hmm. Su Huaiting said, "After Ling Zun's death, Bo Shuba became the head banner warrior, with his identity, and Ling Tang has been familiar with each other for a long time, if you want to accept a little girl, there is no need to use force, just ask Ling Tang for it, and the two families do not hurt the harmony, why bother to tease other people's little girl rings for great disrespect, and chase so far, isn't it a joke?"

Su Huaiting dialed a little, and Huo Xingan suddenly realized.

Moreover, the half of what Xiao Cui said to Wu Zhan was also very suspicious. If it was Bo Shupa who wanted to insult her, she should have shouted 'help' instead of mentioning Lingtang. ”

Huo Xingan nodded: "Brother Su's analysis is reasonable, I understand a little bit now." ”

"Ling Tang seems to be not only depressed and sick because of Ling Zun's death, but also because of other reasons. Su Huaiting paused and said, "I think that on that day, it must have been Xiaocui who found out that Lingtang was killed, so she ran out in fright." Nabojuba is not a murderer, and it has something to do with Ling Tang's death!"

Huo Xingan's mind was much brighter. "But then the royal doctor went and diagnosed my mother with heart failure, blood stasis and stopped ......"

"That Wang Shantong must have been threatened, so he didn't dare to tell the truth. ”

"If it was Bo Shuba who threatened him," Huo Xing'an thought, "Bo Shuba has already committed treason, I will go and ask Wang Shantong now, does he still dare not say it?"

"With Bo Shupa's current power, if he wants to harm his family, just send a few people, will he not be afraid?" Su Huaiting said, "However, to determine the cause of Ling Tang's death, Wang Shantong still has to say it himself." ”

"Did Bojuba come with Temujin this time? ”

"It should be. ”

"Then the royal doctor is still in the city, right?"

"It's still there. ”

So Huo Xing'an went to find Wang Shantong, but Wang Shantong had been guarding Yan Chengyu's mansion and didn't come out. He went to look for Tanman again, and found him drinking merrily in the tavern of the city. He told him about the siege of Temujin, and he said, "You know, the whole city is busy transporting rolling stones and trees." ”

Huo Xing'an had already changed his mind at this time, so he suggested to him: "Why don't Tan Weng choose the road to the west first?" Otherwise, once the battle starts, it will be difficult for him to leave." I may have some delay here. ”

Tan Weng said: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of gold soldiers in and outside the city, and there are reinforcements coming behind, so it is not so easy for the Mongols to come in." Besides, when has my altar ever been afraid of Mongolian tartars?

Seeing that Tan Weng was not afraid, Huo Xingan couldn't help but admire.

Tan Weng said: "If the Mongols come to attack the city, maybe I will secretly kill a few Tartars to relieve the itching of my hands, haha!"

"If the Kingdom of Jin is full of altar-like figures, how dare the Mongols invade us?"

"Brother Huo Xian is too famous, my altar Weng is just an idler in the rivers and lakes, with a few idle hands, and a little bit of protection of the country, if you want to resist the Tartars, you have to go into battle to kill the fierce soldiers who can fight well. ”

"I only hope that such a fierce soldier can protect Fuzhou. Huo Xing'an said. He simply sat down and drank with the altar man.

An arrow with a paper scroll shot at the head of the city, and outside the city, the wind in the wild carried the sound of hooves shaking the earth and shaking the mountains to Fuzhou.

At dusk the next day, when Su Huaiting and Huo Xing'an were walking up to the city tower, a soldier presented him with a letter of persuasion that had just been shot up. Su Huaiting has now been reinstated as the forward general under Wan Yan Chengyu, responsible for guarding the north gate. After reading the letter of surrender, he shook his head and tore the paper away.

In the sky, with black clouds on the edge of dark blood, Su Huaiting stood on the city wall, looking at the majestic battle formation of the four fields outside the city, and couldn't help but tremble. The Mongols did not build a mound of earth at the north gate, but the Mongol army that attacked the north gate this time mobilized the largest number of rushing vehicles, dozens of them, and they were pushing towards the north gate little by little.

Su Huaiting ordered the preparation of rockets.

Groups of Mongol soldiers rushed towards the city wall with ladders on their shoulders. On the city wall, rows of bows and arrows were raised. The soldiers lit a fire and fired their arrows at the rushing cart.

Mongol arrows also came like locusts in the sky, and one by one the ladders were set up on the city wall, and the Mongol soldiers screamed and climbed up. Su Huaiting hurriedly commanded the soldiers to push the sassal wood down, and the Mongolian soldiers fell from the ladder one after another. For a moment, the swords rang out, or roared or howled.

Huo Xing'an saw a large flag in the formation of thousands of troops and horses in the distance, and a red horse in front of the banner was calmly watching the battlefield. Huo Xingan pointed at the person and asked Su Huaiting, "That's Temujin, right?"

"It should be him. If they could have killed him, the Mongols would have been defeated without a fight. ”

The burning cars still stubbornly crashed into the city wall, and the large iron vertebrae shattered the wall bricks and crashed into the wall. Arrows were fired, and the Mongols on the cart rolled over beside the wheels.

After a round of attack, the Mongols failed to rush to the top of the city, leaving only corpses and broken ladders on the ground. Huo Xing'an saw the man under the banner waving his arm and making a gesture, and a general next to him, Pegasus, rushed out and led another group of Mongolian soldiers to the ground.

There were more archers this time, and the strong bows on horseback were fired together, and the golden soldiers on the city wall were hit by arrows one after another, and the infantry took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation and set up the ladder again.

This round of offensive was fierce, the Jin soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Su Huaiting's helmet was also shot by stray arrows. A large hole was finally smashed into the wall, and the Mongol soldiers poured in like a flood. Huo Xing'an hurriedly followed Su Huaiting down the city tower, intercepted the advancing Mongolian soldiers at the breach, and forced them back after a fight. The soldiers who had already prepared in the city hurriedly filled the breach with stones and wood.

The offensive continued, Huo Xing'an climbed the city tower, looked at the fierce and abnormal Mongolian soldiers who came in like a tide, listened to the thrilling killing sound in his ears, and thought that Temujin would take Fuzhou at any cost. Suddenly, something familiar appeared in front of me. A large jar rolled over from nowhere, rolled under the city wall, knocked the Mongol soldiers besieging the city into all directions, knocked down a ladder, and rolled in the direction of the Mongol array. Huo Xingan thought that he was dazzled, but after a closer look, he saw who the big altar was that was not the altar Weng. He thought to himself, this altar must be drunk, how dare he go into battle like this, he sweated for the altar man.

In the jar, the altar man poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth from time to time while holding a gourd in his hand, and at the same time stepped on the jar and jokingly collided with the Mongolian soldiers, and from time to time turned the jar in place a few times. He uses the altar as a plaything all the year round, and he can manipulate it freely, and if he changes ordinary people, I am afraid that he will already be dizzy and dizzy.

And Huo Xing'an was very worried about him, and shouted anxiously on the city wall: "Tan Weng, come back quickly! This is not fun!"

In the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the altar man heard it somewhere, he rolled the altar, took advantage of the gap to stab or slash with his sword, and killed a lot of Mongolian soldiers unconsciously.

Under the royal flag in the distance, Temujin, with a serious expression, pointed to the strange big altar and asked the people beside him what it was, and everyone else was puzzled. Some say that there may be a mechanism inside, and some say that there may be an archer hidden inside. The national teacher Boshuba stepped forward and came up with a plan, saying that he would block it with a rushing car, and Temujin nodded and asked people to pass the order.

When the altar was tired, he buttoned the altar and sat inside to drink, very proud. The Mongol soldiers gathered around and cut the jar with their knives, and there was nothing they could do about it.

When the altar man rested for a while, and was about to erect the altar and roll it, he heard something hit the altar, and he lifted the altar, but it was stuck. He lifted the jar vigorously and turned it open, and found that the jar was surrounded by several carts. The Mongolian soldiers jumped on the cart and swung their swords at him, but Tan Weng did not panic, slashed left and right, and cut down all the Mongolian soldiers who pounced on him.

Seeing that Tanwen could not get close, more cavalry rushed towards him, and suddenly arrows rained down.

Huo Xingan was shocked, he knew that Tan Weng couldn't hear his shout, but he still shouted "Tan Weng is back". Seeing that Tan Weng had been hit by several arrows and was no longer able to support him, Huo Xingan wanted to jump off the city tower to save him. Seeing this, Su Huaiting hugged Huo Xing'an: "I can't go, Brother Xing'an, that person can't be saved even if it's your closest relative." ”

More and more Mongolian soldiers surrounded Tanweng, and Huo Xing'an couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw a few scimitars cut down. "Tan Weng, I hurt you, I shouldn't have brought you to Fuzhou. He muttered.

Su Huaiting grabbed Huo Xing'an by the city wall, pulled him back into the city tower, and avoided the random arrows at the head of the city.

Huo Xingan opened his eyes, the scene just now was still in front of him, he didn't dare to go up to the city to see it again, thinking that Tan Weng must have been chopped into meat sauce at this time.

When it got dark, the Mongols finally failed to take the West Gate and had to retreat.

Su Huaiting said: "The west gate of Fuzhou is the weakest, and Temujin may have thought that it was the best to attack, but I didn't expect us to defend it." "He straightened out the soldiers and rearranged his defenses.

Huo Xingan was very sad, admiring Tan Weng's bravery, but also regretting his recklessness. That night, he slipped down the city wall and went to look for the altar, but the altar was gone, and his body was not found in the pile where the altarman was trapped. Huo Xing'an felt a little comforted in his heart: it seems that Tanweng was captured, and I hope the Mongols did not kill him. He prayed silently to the heavens.

"How can the Mongols keep him?" While drinking, Su Huaiting said to Huo Xing'an: "Your friend has killed so many Mongol soldiers, Temujin has long hated him to death, and it will be ten thousand pieces of corpses if he is caught." ”

Huo Xingan couldn't help but sigh again and again, thinking to himself, this altar Weng couldn't even keep the ashes, and he blamed himself even more.

After resting all night, and when he woke up the next day, Huo Xingan first thought of that Wang Shantong.

He thought, this time to go to the royal doctor, he must ask clearly.

Seeing that Huo Xingan was going to find Wang Shantong, Su Huaiting gave him an idea and asked him to ask him straightforwardly when he saw Wang Shantong.

So, when he met Wang Shantong and greeted him, according to what Su Huaiting said, Huo Xingan suddenly asked him directly: "Imperial Doctor Wang, there is one thing I don't understand, on the day my mother died, my mother had already left when you came, why did you announce my mother's death at night?" He stared at Wang Shantong's eyes.

Wang Shantong was taken aback, and stammered a little and said, "Huo, Huo Gongzi, this is ......"

Huo Xing said with peace of mind, Brother Su is really smart, and it is too late for this Wang Shantong to lie. "I just ask you, why didn't you announce my mother's death at that time?"

"Yes......"

"Don't be afraid, just say. ”

Wang Shantong still couldn't speak.

Huo Xingan "snapped" and broke the armrest of the chair, held the armrests at both ends, and broke it into two parts.

Seeing that such a thick handrail was twisted into several pieces by Huo Xing'ansheng, Wang Shantong's eyes were frightened, his lips trembled, and he said softly: "It was Boshuba who asked me to say it......"

"Bo Shuba!" Huo Xing'an stared at him, "It was Bo Shuba who killed my mother, right?"

"Bo Shuba said that the emperor gave the poison soup to Lingtang. ”

"What?"

Bo Shuba said that the emperor accepted Ling Tang as a concubine several times, and Ling Tang swore to die, but ridiculed each other, and the emperor was angry, so he gave Ling Tang to death, and only covered it up with illness for fear of public opinion. ”

"Your Majesty?" Huo Xing'an's mind suddenly fell into a trance. "How could my mother be recruited by the emperor?"

"Who doesn't know Ling Tang's beauty, the emperor is also reasonable, but Ling Tang is too chaste, hey, Huo Gongzi ......"

Huo Xingan didn't expect this reason, it was too unexpected, he saw Wang Shantong sighing, but it didn't seem like a lie, and he didn't have a judgment in his heart. He thought to himself, how can he be so vicious to his subjects, should I go to him to reason?

Coming back from Wang Shantong, Huo Xingan told Su Huaiting about Wang Shantong's words.

Su Huaiting frowned after hearing this. "I have indeed heard of Lingtang's beauty, but ......"

"But what?"

"But if it really reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor doesn't need to force him to death. Besides, even if the emperor is in love with Lingtang, as long as the Lingtang enters the palace and is directly included in the harem, why bother to let Bo Shuba go to make sense many times? How can it be so troublesome to accept a concubine, what kind of face does the emperor have in this case?"

"Brother Su is talking about ......"

"Most of this Wang Shantong's words are lies, or Bo Shuba did not tell the truth. ”

"So, then Bojuba still can't get out of it?"

Su Huaiting nodded and said, "Bojuba must have hidden some ulterior secrets. Perhaps, it was Bo Shuba who fell for Lingtang, not the emperor......"

Huo Xingan frowned: "If you want to confront the emperor, it's impossible, I'll go to Bo Shuba and ask him face to face." ”

"Well," Su Huaiting said, "If Brother Xing'an has the opportunity to meet Na Bo Shuba, I will use my method to directly ask him to see if he admits it or not." ”

"Brother Su, just do what you say!"

As he was talking, a soldier suddenly came to report, saying that Ximen was tight, and the garrison asked General Su to quickly divide troops to support.

Su Huaiting glanced at Huo Xing'an: "It seems that Yan Chengyu can't stand it." ”

So they quickly put on their horses and led a group of soldiers and horses to the west gate.

Simon was in the midst of a fierce battle at this time. Mu Huali built a tall mound of earth outside the city, which had been built before noon, and it was higher than the city wall, and the Mongol soldiers built a ladder and a bridge from the mound, and in less than an hour, they had already occupied the head of the West Gate. When Su Huaiting arrived, the Jin soldiers had already begun to retreat, Su Huaiting resisted for a while, and saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to retreat to the city with Huo Xing'an. While retreating, Su Huaiting asked where Yan Chengyu was, and learned that he had led his troops to the east gate, obviously preparing to abandon the city, and letting Su Huaiting come to support might be for him to break the queen. Su Huaiting scolded, but he also had to command his men and horses to resist desperately and stop the influx of Mongolian soldiers.

On that day, the Mongols actually did not have the whole army pressed, and the poor hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers, after the commander fled first, lost their fighting spirit, and were actually broken through the defense by thousands of people of Mu Huali's vanguard death squad, and the army was crushed. Su Huaiting was unable to stand alone, and he only scolded the cowards when he watched the Jin soldiers who only cared about the defeat and escape, and even hacked a few deserters to death. He and Huo Xing'an retreated into the alley, and his subordinates persuaded him to leave quickly. Su Huaiting said: Let's hold on for a while, the emperor's Luan drive is on the way back to Juyong Pass, General Wanyan Chengyu and the main force can withdraw first, you can safely escort back to Zhongdu, we will drag Temujin first. He put together his men and sent for them to join the gates at the east gate.

The whole of Fuzhou has been turned into a slaughterhouse, and the brutal Mongol soldiers rushed into the city, killing people when they saw them, and the blood of the only ones was spread into a river, and the corpses were paved into a road.

When Huo Xing'an and Su Huaiting retreated to the east gate, there were only a few hundred remnants left around them, and the scattered Jin soldiers could not converge at all.

The Muhua Li Department had already outflanked the east gate and blocked the way, and the remaining tens of thousands of people suddenly became caged fish. Huo Xingan said loudly: "Brother Su, let's go out." ”

"Good!"

They scrambled towards the east gate. Huo Xing'an rushed to kill first, carving out a way, Su Huaiting followed closely, and Bailai rode out and passed through Mu Huali's pocket. The Mongols in Siye were in hot pursuit, and they fought non-stop. Su Huaiting's left arm couldn't be used hard because of the injury, and he kept swinging the knife and reins with his right arm, which was extremely inconvenient, and when he rushed out of the east gate, he had already been hit by a few arrows, and he didn't have time to pull it out, so he ran with Huo Xing'an for several miles, turning a hillside, and the sound of Mu Huali's hoofs gradually became smaller.

Su Huaiting lay on his horse and gasped, Huo Xingan looked around, and there were less than 100 soldiers with him. Huo Xingan helped Su Huaiting get off the horse, and found that his face was pale, he wanted to pull out an arrow for Su Huaiting and bandage the wound, but Su Huaiting waved his hand hard. Huo Xing'an saw that an arrow was stuck in his back, which seemed to be in the vital part.

"Brother Su, how are you?"

Su Huaiting covered a wound that was bleeding and said, "It looks like I'm going to die here." ”

"Brother Su, how can it be, you are fine. I'll send you back to Zhongdu. ”

"Brother Xing'an, let's stop here. ”

"Brother Su!"

"There's something, I want you to tell Qian'er ......" Su Huaiting gasped.

Huo Xing'an knelt beside him.

Su Huaiting took Huo Xingan's hand and said, "There is one thing that I have always had a guilty conscience. I lied to Qian'er and lied to you...... Actually, it was I who was greedy for money at the beginning, and I got 10,000 taels of silver from Hongdaomen and Qingcheng faction, so I took Yukongzi and the five elders of Qingcheng to Qian'er's mother, and they didn't force me. I thought that since so many people in the rivers and lakes regarded the picture in Lianzhi's hand as a treasure, it was better to sell it...... How do you know that Lianzhi protects that thing as a life, hey...... I didn't expect that my momentary mistake killed Lianzhi," he looked at Huo Xing'an earnestly, "If you find Qian'er, tell her that I'm sorry for the two of them, God has punished me......"

Hearing Su Huaiting tell the truth, Huo Xingan couldn't help sighing: "Qian'er will definitely forgive you." ”

Not far away, the sound of hooves sounded again, and Huo Xing'an said: "The horsepower of the Mongols is really powerful. ”

Su Huaiting grabbed Huo Xing'an's hand tightly: "Brother Xing'an, you and I have a sworn ceremony, I'm very happy, we will still be brothers in the next life!"

"Brother Su, I'll carry you on the horse!" Huo Xingan's tears burst out of his eyes.

"Then neither of you nor I can get out, we will all die here. Su Huaiting shook his head.

Mu Huali's pursuers turned the slope, and the resting soldiers got on their horses one after another, all looking at Su Huaiting, waiting for his order. Su Huaiting pointed to the dozen or so soldiers who were shot by the same arrows as him: "Let's stay here, and the rest of the people will be killed." ”

The arrows whizzed, and the soldiers clenched their fists to Su Huaiting with tears. Huo Xingan didn't leave, and waved the arrow next to Su Huaiting.

"If you don't leave, I'll have to kill myself. Su Huaiting said.

Huo Xingan had no choice but to stand up.

"Take care of Qian'er for me!"

Huo Xingan nodded tearfully, thinking, the four seas are vast, but where can I find Qian'er?

"Let's go!" Su Huaiting held a knife in his chest.

A horse rushed in front of him, and a Mongol soldier stabbed with a fierce spear. Huo Xing'an cut off the barrel of his gun with a knife, and cut him down with men and horses. He looked back at Su Huaiting, and Su Huaiting looked at him with a smile.

Huo Xingan flew on his horse, raised the knife in his hand to Su Huaiting, and then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the chaotic horse in front.
