In the spring and summer of the second year of Kaixi, the Southern Song Dynasty was in turmoil, not only the relationship between the northern border was tense, but also the Yazhou barbarians on the western border also suffered repeated disasters. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Lushan Houxia, the officials were captured by the Yazhou barbarians, and in less than a month, the Qianxia was also burned. The Southern Song Dynasty officials and troops did not care at first, and they were helpless for a long time, seeing that the barbarians were going to attack the Diaomen Village next, the battle situation was fierce, and the feathers were galloping.

In normal times, such a simple war does not need Li Yunfei to be in command, and the four generals of Zhou, Wu, Zheng and Wang in the official army can go out to take it, but Wu Xi happened to be in the Shuchuan officialdom to purge it, the army was unstable, and it was difficult to save the emergency, so he had to teach Feng Mingjian to personally send troops to help - the short knife valley where the righteous army was stationed was also the last pure land that Tianjiao Xu Yuan snatched from Wu Xi.

Feng Mingjian thought that this was fine, at least he could get rid of the annoying bear child Wujiapi who dragged his snot, and after a few days, he Fengmingjian liked to trap and kill the enemy, but Wujiapi cried and knelt and dragged his legs and almost didn't rub his snot on his armor, and shouted and shouted, "Daddy will take me there", Feng Mingjian didn't leave and delayed his departure, and had to take Wujiapi to the squeaky nest and took it out: "Stinky boy, just throw you in that wilderness!" All the way to the black-faced fierce and vicious, ineffective, Wujiapi has to follow the past.

Tianjiao personally sent him off to the expedition, and he was already waiting on the front road: "Fourth senior brother, triumph as soon as possible." ”

"If it weren't for Wu Xi's misdeeds, the officers and soldiers would not have low combat effectiveness, he would be good, and he still wanted to clean up in the Short Knife Valley, if I left, Tianjiao would have one less capable general. "The wind roars while complaining, worrying, and blowing to itself.

"Rest assured, I won't let him interfere. Tianjiao's expression and tone always made Feng Mingjian feel comfortable, for many years, the rebels have been under his protection.

Earlier, when Feng Mingjian was cleaning up Wujiapi, he accidentally found a detailed exchange near the fast slip bridge, but after hearing the news, Xu Yuan told the relevant people not to be too loud, so as not to startle the snake. In the past few days, everyone has pursued a strategy of "quietly developing, patiently searching, and rigorously deploying". As the military advisor Xun Wei said, for the safety of everyone in the Short Knife Valley, quietness and patience are the most important, and being too anxious will only backfire.

"This Xun Wei is really prescient, no, when he bumped into Wu Xi and wanted to clean up, he almost climbed up the pole, how could the initiative still be in our own hands like now. "Feng Mingjian praised this strategist under the command of Su Xue in the past.

"yes, it's all about now. Xu Yuan nodded. During the Jiatai period, there were three fish that had slipped through the net, and the largest fourth one was about to come out, and it was also likely to implicate the huge network around it. Xu Yuan was originally meticulous in his body, knowing how to control the heat and when to close the net, and when he was arrested, he was obviously secretly captured and broken at the same time.

And most of these big and small fish, except for Death Valley, have taken root in Song Heng's station, and it was they who caused Song Heng to miss the battle of Shandong in the past...... This time, Xu Yuan transferred Song Heng out on the pretext of the affair and took over in the name of taking over on his behalf, precisely in order to explore deeply, and he didn't know it.

"Hehe, who would have thought that our Tianjiao itself is a careful leader. Feng Mingjian smiled, "However, it's really hard, even if it's officialdom, the situation you see now is already after you interfered, it is conceivable that if you don't protect people three or four times, Wu Xi's gang will be even more demons." As he walked, he asked, "By the way, General Cao, I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time." Feng Mingjian didn't know that Cao Xuan was his own person, but he felt that Cao Xuan was rational and might be able to persuade Wu Xi to stop.

"Take care of yourself and be investigated. Xu Yuan's face was embarrassed, the wind roared and the stream stopped in shock, and it took a long time for a "huh?" to come out.

Cao Xuan is indeed a person who can hold Wu Xi's pulse, but in this matter, he can't, because he is not innocent. "In the Battle of Longyou, when he infiltrated Su Muzi's army as Wu Xi's traitor," Xu Yuan said the first half of the sentence in a serious manner, but the second half of the sentence was true, "There was a move to cross the line and have many fornications with Chu Fengliu, but after being stabbed by Su Muzi, he did not refute it, and directly acquiesced." At that time, many people in the local area saw it, but after all, the paper could not contain the fire. ”

"No wonder Su Muxun's girl has been wandering around like she has no soul recently. Tianjiao, you're busy, holding this god with one hand. Feng Mingjian sighed, "However, since General Cao was a traitor at that time, there was no way to pretend to have a relationship with Chu Fengliu." ”

Fortunately, Wu Xi knew that Cao Xuan was for him, so letting him be investigated was also a procedure, and he would soon be acquitted. Xu Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "Cao Xuan will be fine, but he can't ask." ”

Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Wu Xi is in the officialdom, but in fact, he has a very big relationship with us. Parting, Xu Yuan suddenly lowered his voice.

"What's the matter? I've been busy preparing for war these days, and I feel like I've missed a lot of things?" Feng Mingjian was stunned.

"Chuan Yu's adoptive father, Qin Xiangchao, he is also a member of the officialdom, I'm just afraid that Wu Xi will use him to make a big fuss - involving the lord, I will send someone to pay close attention to it next. "How could Xu Yuan have no worries.

Feng Mingjian's face suddenly turned pale: "This Wu Xi, does he dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"

"It's not happening at the moment, and I don't want my lord to worry about it. I hope that Qin Xiangchao can meet my wishes and get through this purge smoothly. Xu Yuan said.

At the end of February of the second year of Kaijubi, Xingzhou Mansion.

When night fell, it should have been silent, but Lord Liu's mansion was full of people, full of joy, and there were lights everywhere.

It turned out that Lord Liu's baby daughter was going to get married tomorrow, and the main drama had already warmed up for several days, and Lord Liu was nearly a sixtieth birthday, and he only had this only daughter, so he naturally valued it tightly, although the son-in-law was unsatisfactory, how could he disobey his daughter's enthusiasm.

is unsatisfactory, not that the son-in-law is ugly and incompetent, on the contrary, the son-in-law is talented, martial arts are also passable, and most importantly, his father is ...... Hua Yifang! The seven leaders of the older generation of the Short Knife Valley, Lin Chujiang, Liu Wujin, Lu Zheng, Hua Yifang, Chi Qiaomu, Fan Tieqiao, Shi Zhongyong, Hua Yifang is the only one who does not need to be stationed in the valley, and his self-created Hunan Huajiaquan is famous, and he was originally born in a rich family and has gold and silver mountains, and the daughter of Lord Liu does not have to suffer at all after marrying...... The most important thing is that the backer of the Chinese side is the thunderous Lin Qian......

How do you think that the son-in-law named "Hua Dengfeng" is also a good match, but this good match is less than twenty years ago, and there are already seven wives and concubines, how can you teach Lord Liu to rest assured! I have met a few times, but he is still well-behaved, but I don't know if he is not pretending, and his true form will be revealed in the future?

Fortunately, the in-laws of the Chinese side are really good, there is no martial arts master at all, seeing that Lord Liu is reluctant to daughter, he said that the wedding will be held in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and he will stay in Xingzhou for a few more months after marriage, although the wedding venue was selected in the post house near Liu's house, the cost of the banquet was covered by the Hua side, and he also helped Liu's side to be busy everywhere, "Hua Daxia, how embarrassing is this......" "In-laws, you don't need to be polite." No matter how you say it, it is also a great thing for the marriage of the official army and the righteous army! It must be done in a lively and unprecedentedly lively manner!" Hua Fang smiled heartily, and he could see that he was very fond of Hua Dengfeng.

"It's exciting to think that tomorrow is going to see a big movie of heroes. Lord Liu grinned, his beard curled up and down, "But I've seen a lot of them in the past few days, I can't be greedy, I can't be greedy, haha." ”

“...... Oh, are you talking about Yao Huaiyuan and Yu Jing looking at them?" Although the Northern Expedition was imminent, it was natural for the troops to sharpen their halberds and wipe their blades, but all the major factions and organizations sent some relatively idle people to congratulate them because of the special relationship between the Chinese side. And there is no doubt that Wu Xi's cronies are the most idle. Hua Fang thought that the group of people behind Wu Xi who sang praises were also called heroes, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"No, it's General Shi of the Red Jacket Village, General Yun of Xiao Qinhuai, and Murong Woman of Murong Villa......" Lord Liu said with a look of fascination, Hua Fang was stunned, and he couldn't see that his in-laws still had the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and all the people who reported were from the righteous army......

This Lord Liu said that he belonged to the official army, but in fact he had only been a staff member under Guo Gao for a few months, and now he was only a parent official in a small county town, so it is no wonder that he has heard the names of Lin Qian and Wu Xi, but he is not very familiar with them.

After a busy day, return to the inn and lie down for a drink alone.

Lord Liu obviously didn't know that the reason why he deliberately held the banquet in Xingzhou Mansion was because he had been assisting Tianjiao Xu Yuan for a long time, not letting go of any opportunity to match the official army and the righteous army, and trying to do everything possible to eliminate the possible estrangement between the Wu clan and the righteous army. At the same time, it is also to recognize people and penetrate into the official army, so that they can distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

In addition, Xu Yuan asked him to pay close attention to Qin Xiangchao, who has been an official in Xingzhou Mansion in recent years, and it can be said that he chose to hold a wedding here to respond to Qin Xiangchao, Lin Mo's father and son. The principle of Tianjiao and Hua's side, "when it comes to the lord, it is natural to protect it", fortunately, it has been calm these days, and Huafang would rather be idle than wavering.

"According to legend, the most accurate people in the rivers and lakes are Liu Wujin, the second is Luoyuan, the third is Lin Chujiang, the fourth is Huafang, and the fifth is Xu Yuan. Yin'er once said to Lin Qian.

Huafang's ability is true.

protégés are all over the world, many of them are in the official army, and he is highly respected in the Sichuan army;

The story of Lin Qian, who was down-and-out on Yunwu Mountain, injured Hua Dengfeng, and he distinguished right from wrong without accountability, became a beautiful talk among the rebels after it was circulated, Lin Jiajun has always regarded him as a benefactor, and Lin Qian himself also respected him very much.

Therefore, the people in the officialdom and the reckless rivers and lakes all leave him a thin face, such a special bond has always been a sharp weapon for Xu Yuan to integrate the official army and the righteous army.

This time, thanks to his big enough on the one hand, the big war is imminent, and it can still attract many people from the official army and the righteous army.

was drinking by himself, and a playful voice sounded outside the window: "Hua Daxia, I'm here to celebrate your birthday!"

Hua Fang jumped up, took three steps and made two steps to greet him: "There are so many people in the past few days, only you Liu Wujin have made a mistake, it's not my birthday, it's my son's marriage!"

The person who came was indeed Liu Wujin, pretending to be confused, and laughing: "Is it? Why does Ling Lang get married every day?" Hua Fang hugged him tightly and slapped him on the buttocks, these days he was really tired of being empty and wronged, and of course he was happy to see his old friend.

"Hua Daxia, your behavior reminds me that Uncle Liu kicked the horse's ass yesterday, but was kicked back by the horse, hahahaha, I laughed to death. The young man on the side has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the jade tree is in the wind, it is Song Heng, the jade dragon sword. This person is quite handsome when he doesn't speak, but when he speaks, especially with this kind of laughing belly, it only makes people feel that he is a child who doesn't grow up......

Liu Wujin was extremely angry, his face was red, and his ears were red: "Song Heng, don't expose people short!"

Hua Fang smiled and shook his head: "Hey, get used to it, get used to it!" Song Heng smiled and gave Hua Fang a big hug. Liu Wujin is really a good companion, in order to relieve Song Heng, he did not hesitate to take a detour to visit several places of interest. A while ago, he was still worried about who he loved, and it was really a lot of relief to come out and go around the great rivers and mountains.

Just after talking for a while, another distinguished guest came to visit - different from Liu Wujin and Song Heng's unusual path, the person who came handed over the post outside the post house to pay a visit, Hua Fang frowned when he saw the post, and Song Hengqi said: "What?"

"Wu Xi and his subordinate Xue Jiuling and so on. Hua Fang said.

"Eh, I'll go find chicken legs to eat first......" Liu Wujin immediately ran away, too lazy to see it.

Song Hengyuan also wanted to withdraw, but when he thought of Tianjiao and himself, he said, "The lord thinks that you are the link between the official army and the righteous army, and no one can compare to you in this regard, so he has been teaching you to guard Sichuan and Shu." Then he raised his interest: "Then I'll see you with Hua Daxia." ”

"Well, you don't drink wine if you have it......" Hua Fang shook his head, and watched Liu Wujin walk away, not forgetting that Wu Xi and his generals were already approaching.

A few words of greeting, you can't communicate without a banquet. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Song Heng reluctantly learned some ways of dealing with people in the officialdom on the Chinese side, and while secretly admiring it, he couldn't help but be a little sleepy. I don't know how long it took, but a strange sound suddenly sounded outside the door—

is another unusual, but although the other party is not as good as Liu Wujin and Song Heng, he doesn't want to be seen by others, so he has been deliberately hiding it, making the sound of squirting come and go.

"What person?" Even though Hua Fang pretended not to know, even Xue Jiuling heard it, and directly threw a wine glass out of the window, in exchange for the person's dexterity to dodge, and after all, he accidentally exposed his hiding.

The figure of that person turned out to be a woman, Song Heng raised his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah......" That woman is not the biological mother of the lord, the predecessor of Yu Ziyan!? Song Heng brushed and stood up——

However, she has no ordinary charm at the moment, her white hair seems to be more than ten years old, her face is haggard, and her steps are faltering, if it weren't for the good light skills she showed just now, Song Heng wouldn't dare to believe that it was her.

"Ziyan?" Hua Fang was stunned, the relationship between him and Yu Ziyan was like that of Li Fengxing and Yin'er, so it was impossible for Yu Ziyan to hide it when she saw him, unless she was followed, or even ...... Hunted down and killed! Look at her like this again, what's not like that?

Hurriedly helped her into the house, and when he touched her, he found that she had an injury on her arm, and Hua Fang suddenly had an ominous premonition, the day that Tianjiao was most worried about had really come?

Seeing this, Xue Jiuling and the others all stood up, but Wu Xi was still moving his chopsticks.

"What's going on?" Hua Fang was in pain, and immediately wanted to wrap Yu Ziyan's wounds.

Yu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, looked at the banquet in a daze, his eyes were as empty as a wooden man, he suddenly woke up, pointed in the direction of Wu Xi, looked at Hua Fang and cried: "Brother Hua, it is this person, he arrested my husband, and chased me and Chuan Yu...... How are you, why are you still ...... him?!"

"What......" Hua Fang was shocked, and turned his eyes to look at Wu Xi, "When is it!"

A good Wu Xi, who is known to the rest of the officials with great fanfare and excitement, is completely opposite to Qin Xiangchao, which shows how meticulous and quiet he is...... Of course, he can justify that he is cautious about people related to Lin Qian because of the rat trap, but he wants to hide from the sky and secretly Chen Cang, and successfully frame Xu Yuan before he intervenes. Hua Fang was drenched in cold sweat, and secretly sighed that I had made a mistake, I actually underestimated Wu Xi!

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Jiuling said angrily, "Who is chasing and killing you, who doesn't know that you are the biological mother of the alliance king Lin Qian, do you want to die!?"

"Keeping your husband in prison is just a normal means of being a spy on the Jin Kingdom. Wu Xi finished eating slowly, dropped the chopsticks, and took another sip of wine before responding, with a cold attitude.

"Jin Guo's spy?" Song Heng was speechless, "How can he also be a spy?" In his impression, Qin Xiangchao was just an ordinary official who was down-to-earth and didn't have much ability, and he loved and cared for Yuziyan's mother and son......

"It was yesterday. Xue Jiuling couldn't avoid the torture of Hua's gaze, and said, "But I really didn't chase and kill." ”

"I'm afraid that Jin Guokong Xianzhuang will see him exposed, kill people, and kill people. Rest assured, we will send someone to protect you. Wu Xi was indifferent.

"Brother Hua, tell Shengnan quickly, I know that you will be able to tell Shengnan as soon as possible, this Wu Xi has bad intentions!"

"I have done this great thing of purging, and the merit will benefit the present generation and the future generations, although tens of millions of people have gone alone! There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth to stand up for the foundation of my life!" Wu Xi said righteously.

"Wu Dutong should be measured in his work. Come, send this lady to rest first. Hua Fang didn't want Yu Ziyan to say more, so he immediately ordered her acupoint, gave her a few hours of sleep, and at the same time ordered her subordinates to come and help.

The banquet was inevitably embarrassed by this sudden situation, and it soon ended, and no one mentioned Yu Ziyan's cry anymore, but both sides pricked a thorn.

The night was hazy.

As soon as he walked out of the post house, Wu Xi sneered: "The show is about to begin." ”

"The evidence of Qin Xiangchao's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country is conclusive, Lin Qian and Xu Yuan learned about it, and they didn't know where to put their faces. Xue Jiuling couldn't help but be proud.

"They are not necessarily innocent in themselves. Wu Xi said coldly, "Anti-Jin? Hmph, his biological mother and biological brother are all involved with Jin Guolai's spies, how can he still respond to Lin Qian?"

Wu Xi, Xue Jiuling and the others walked farther and farther, and their last few shocking words easily reached the ears of Hua Yifang and Song Heng, as long as they were willing to eavesdrop.

"They, don't want to give the lord a pleasure?!" Song Heng was filled with indignation, instinctively clenching the Jade Dragon Sword.

"Yes, even if Qin Xiangchao didn't make a mistake, they could find some evidence to plant it, and it would be impossible for Qin Xiangchao to release it in a short period of time. Hua Fang's brows furrowed.

"Lin Mo doesn't know how to protect himself...... Song Heng's mind jumped, thinking of the peerless boy who almost became his lord.

"Wu Xi has been proud of the purging in recent years, he wanted to be in the Short Knife Valley, Tianjiao didn't allow it, but then he was in the officialdom, so this is what it means......" Hua Fang's thoughts were still here in Lin Qian, "It's for the lord, he wants to take this opportunity to make a big fuss about the lord." ”

“...... How to make a fuss?" Song Heng didn't expect that Wu Xi would not only make the lord unhappy, but Wu Xi's move was simply to rectify the lord's head?

"Song Heng, you still don't understand, in the past, when Xiang Yu wanted to collapse Su Xue, it started with Gu Zhen seducing a married woman......" Hua was pale, just because he imagined countless possibilities in the future.

No wonder Wu Xi went to Xingzhou Mansion to attend the wedding in person with such a face, it turned out that he was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and wanted to deal with Qin Xiangchao, but he just stopped by to participate in the gathering of this official army and righteous army.

"Yes, in the final analysis, it will hurt the reputation of the lord......" Song Heng patted his head.

"The stakes are big, what we can do is either to rescue Lin Mo's family, or to cut off the relationship with Lin Mo on behalf of the lord, and it will never be related from now on. Hua Fang said the only two solutions, and the latter made Song Heng's heart sink: "Break off the relationship?

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is naturally impossible. Hua Fang turned his face to look at Song Heng, "However, what if, in case Qin Xiangchao induces Lin Mo to commit a crime, what should the lord do?"

Song Heng shuddered: "Lin Mo is not so stupid, besides, Qin Xiangchao, isn't it unnecessary? Such a loyal and patriotic mediocre man, even Lin seniors can rest assured that they will entrust the jade seniors to him......"

"That's right, Qin Xiangchao has seen it by Chu Jiang and thinks it's okay, but I'm afraid that he can't even see Chu Jiang. Hua Fang said that they rely on experience to recognize people, and there are times when experience is not accurate.

A mistake of 1 in 10,000 corresponds to the opponent's 1 in 10,000.
