Wang Duo's palace discussed the matter of countering the rebellion again.

Since the grass army conquered Yun and Yan'erzhou, there was no restraint, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao were like two dragons out of the stream, one was wanton turning the clouds, and the other was making rain everywhere, and they attacked more than ten states one after another, until Huainan, and the imperial court was greatly shaken. After Taining Jiedu made Qi Kerang lose Yanzhou, Tian Lingzi was unwilling, afraid that Qi Kerang would lose his military power, so he tried to protect Qi Kerang in front of the emperor to quell the rebellion, and as a result, the grass army moved to Chen, Xu, Xiang, and Deng Zhuzhou, and Qi Kerang was powerless to stop it, so he was left to conflict. Therefore, Tian Lingzi was impeached repeatedly by the people of Nanya, and lost his position in the court.

Li Yi said: "According to your Aiqing's opinion, who can take on this great responsibility?"

Prime Minister Cui Yanzhao said at this time: "It is not necessary for Song Wei to be made by the Pinglu Festival." ”

When Wang Duo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Tian Lingzi wanted to use the reason last time to refuse, but he wanted to open his mouth, but Li Yi preemptively said: "Father, do you have someone who can be used?"

Although Li Yi was incompetent on the face, he knew very well in his heart that Wang Xianzhi's rebellion had not been settled for a long time, and in the final analysis, it was due to the mutual constraints between the southern and northern divisions. He originally wanted to take advantage of these two forces to consume each other to take back power, but now that the anti-thief momentum is getting stronger and stronger, there is already a sign of a prairie fire, and he doesn't dare to delay any longer. In the final analysis, whether it is the South Ya or the North Division, it will not threaten his country, and the anti-thieves will!

Tian Lingzi heard the words, but there were two tremors, and the abnormal Son of Heaven made him feel bad, and hurriedly changed his words: "Your Majesty is wise, I believe that what Song Jiedu makes the banner point to will definitely be able to sweep away all the thieves!"

Tian Lingzi not only complimented the emperor, but also planted a curse for Cui Yanzhao. The charge of ineffective counterinsurgency is small but small, and big is big, and he has already suffered enough because of this. Even if Tian Lingzi has someone available now, he is not sure that he will be able to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop, and it is not bad to throw this burden to Cui Yanzhao now, if Song Wei is not effective in countering the rebellion this time, then he Cui Yanzhao will not be able to get rid of it.

So the Son of Heaven Li Yi issued an order, ordering Huainan, Zhongwu, Xuanwu, Yicheng, and Tianping Army to join forces to suppress Wang Xianzhi, and Pinglu Jiedu to make Song Wei recruit grass thieves for the Zhudao camp, and specially gave 3,000 forbidden troops and 500 cavalry, and ordered all the armies sent by the towns of Henan to be commanded by Song Wei.

The court mattered, Cui Yanzhao really still protected the Pinglu Festival to make Song Wei rebel, Wang Duo was unwilling to stay in Chang'an for a long time, and still turned back to Bianzhou, fortunately, the emperor allowed him to send troops to fight the thief, which is mostly the credit of Wei Qimu.

Wang Duo, Wei Qimu, and Zhou Yun traveled in a hurry for several days and returned to Bianzhou, but there was nothing wrong all the way. Zhou Yun didn't go back to Huashan to inquire about the news, because Manichaeism had already destroyed the Celestial Sect, and it was useless to go again. As soon as the three of them entered Bianzhou, the people from the Assassin's Mansion took them out, and one of the guards said bitterly: "My lord, Brother Ma...... He was killed!"

......

A few days ago.

Since Boss Qi was cut off by Wei Qimu, he held a grudge in his heart, so he kept an eye on his whereabouts until Wei Qimu went to Chang'an. Boss Qi did not follow Wei Qimu to Chang'an, the distance was far away and the foot of the Son of Heaven was not suitable for him, so he was still entrenched in Bianzhou.

Boss Qi is in a good mood today, and there is a saying that "meeting old acquaintances in other places is a great joy in life". Boss Qi rarely broke his fortune - although he was just entertaining the shop in this wind, although he only needed two side dishes and a bottle of spirits, but in this early spring, this time it has also made old friends feel quite warm.

"Brother Qi, your finger is ......" The old friend's eyes were thin, and he realized that this Qi boss was missing another finger.

Boss Qi poured a sip of wine and sighed: "Brother Feng, I won't tell you, brother, I touched the moldy head, and I just let people cut off a finger!"

This old friend of Boss Qi is none other than Feng Song of the Salt Gang. Feng Song and Boss Qi are fellow villagers, and they have been friends since childhood, and the two are reunited in Bianzhou today, which can be described as a happy event.

Feng Song played with the empty cup in his hand and asked, "Who dares to break ground on Boss Qi's head?"

"That person calls himself - Wei Qimu!" Boss Qi bit the last three words into points with hatred.

"Wei Qimu, but a young man in Tsing Yi?"

Boss Qi's eyes flickered: "What's the matter, Brother Feng recognizes this person?"

Feng Song's heart was lively, and he naturally knew the meaning of Boss Qi's words, so he took another drink and said categorically: "It's just a one-sided relationship, how can it be compared to the friendship between you and me for decades?"

Feng Song also didn't study in detail how Wei Qimu and Boss Qi formed a bond, no matter what the reason, he was on Boss Qi's side. When Boss Qi heard Feng Song's words, he also shouted "righteousness".

The two were eating and drinking, and a middle-aged man came in outside the door, sitting at the table next to them.

Boss Qi looked at it drunk, saw this person's face clearly, and suddenly came to his senses, so he got up and invited: "This is Ma Dongping Ma brother, come and sit together." ”

This middle-aged man is Ma Dongping, who has just come back from finding out the news of Huang Zhen and is passing by here.

Ma Dongping saw that the two of them were facing each other, and hesitated: "Who are the two of you?"

Boss Qi laughed and said: "Brother Ma doesn't know the two of us, but we know you, a few days ago we came to the west and met Brother Wei Qimu Wei, he mentioned your character and appearance, I will definitely not admit it." My name is Qi Yan, his name is Feng Song, and they are all old friends of Brother Wei. ”

When Ma Dongping heard that he was Wei Qimu's friend, he didn't doubt him, so he sat down happily, and he asked again, "Where are you two going?"

Feng Song didn't know what Boss Qi was planning, and said truthfully: "I came here to find out the news of Huang Zhen and Miss Huang. ”

This Feng Song was indeed entrusted by the basket fir and came to investigate.

When Ma Dongping heard this, he even took the last precaution, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Brother Wei entrusted me with this matter a few days ago, and today I have eyebrows - Miss Huang is in the Qingzhou dungeon at the moment. ”

Feng Songxi said: "This saves a lot of time, just try to rescue." ”

Ma Dongping had a happy event, drank happily, and unconsciously fell on the table with heavy eyelids.

Feng Song snorted: "This person's alcohol consumption is also a little shallow. ”

Boss Qi sneered again and again: "Brother Feng, please appreciate the craftsmanship today." After that, he dragged Ma Dongping and left.

When he came to a sparsely populated place, Boss Qi tied Ma Dongping to a tree.

Feng Song said suspiciously: "Brother Qi, this is?"

Qi Lao Dao: "Who are you just saying?"

"Isn't it a friend of Wei Qimu?"

"Not only that, but he is also the guard of Wang Duo of Bianzhou, a person in the court, and he can't deal with your salt gang. ”

"Then Wei Qimu is ......"

"Wei Qimu has already been encircled by Wang Duo and has escorted him to Chang'an. ”

When Feng Song heard this, he said in his heart, "No wonder he was at odds with the 'Weiyang Five Ghosts' at the beginning, but I am afraid that it has nothing to do with martial arts." ”

When Feng Songzheng was thinking, he only heard a scream, it turned out that Ma Dongping had his finger cut off by Boss Qi.

Boss Qi's face was hideous, the short knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and he said hatefully: "When Wei Qimu cut off one of my fingers, Lao Tzu will not be able to eliminate this hatred even if he intercepts your ten fingers today!"

It turned out that Boss Qi put sweat medicine in Ma Dongping's bowl, and at this time, Ma Dongping suffered the pain of a broken finger, so he woke up in pain, and he was speechless.

Qi Xiaoye admired every finger he cut, and did not forget to curse a few words of Wei Qimu, Ma Dongping woke up several times in a coma and suffered from the pain of broken fingers. Feng Song knew that this Qi boss was a ruthless man who would be retribution, although he saw Ma Dongping suffering so much, he didn't dare to persuade one or two, so he had to sigh in his heart, simply turned his head away, and refused to look again.

Qi Xiaoye cut off Ma Dongping's ten fingers, but he was still not addicted, and he disemboweled, took his heart, liver, intestines and lungs, and said with a smile: "This thing is the best drink!"

......

Wang Duo suddenly heard the news of Ma Dongping's death, and was shocked, and when he asked the details, his face showed rare sadness, and he said bitterly: "Dongping has followed the old man for more than ten years, before and after the saddle, like a father and son like a brother, how could this misfortune happen!"

Zhou Yundao: "Ten fingers were amputated by someone, and they were disemboweled, such a means must be a vendetta?"

Wei Qimu was sad about the loss of his friend, and for the first time he was stunned, and asked urgently: "Who is so vicious? If I know, even if I am at the end of the world, I will also slash this thief!"

......

Ma Dongping's body fell into the ground, and he suddenly reported that someone outside the mansion wanted to see Wei Qimu. When the man came in, Wei Qimu recognized it at a glance: "Brother Zhu, why are you here?"

The person who came was very rough-looking, it was Zhu Wen. Zhu Wen didn't have time to reminisce, so he hurriedly said: "I came to deliver a message for General Huang." ”

Wei Qimu wondered in his heart, what did Huang Chao have to say to him? After reading it, he was depressed: "Huang Zhen and I are children of the rivers and lakes, so don't we have to be hindered by this life and parents?"

It turned out that Huang Chao got Wei Qimu to enter Bianzhou and enter Chang'an, only when he had served the imperial court, he Huang Chao was the leader of the grass army, and he did not share the sky with the imperial court, so he naturally could not tolerate Wei Qimu, so he counted in the letter that he was greedy for wealth and nobility, and he was not allowed to make friends with Huang Zhen again.

Zhu Wen said again: "Miss Huang has a whereabouts......"

Wei Qimu heard this, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "Where is it?"

Zhu Wen said: "She was trapped in the Qingzhou dungeon, and General Huang has sent someone to rescue her." ”

Wei Qimu cleared his mind, it turned out that all this was in Cui Yanzhao's control. Cui Yanzhao was confident that he could overwhelm Tian Lingzi in the imperial court, so he made the move of kidnapping Huang Zhen early, once Song Wei sent troops, this Huang Zhen would definitely make Huang Chao shackled.

After half a year, Zhu Wen has made a lot of contributions in the army, and at this time he is already a capable general under Huang Chao, although he wants to drink three white drinks with Wei Qimu and chat all night, but after all, he can't withstand the busy military affairs, and he has to leave after a few words: "Brother Wei, I can't stay for a long time, and I have to return to the army, so I don't dare to delay." ”

Wei Qimu's heart was sour again when he heard this: "In this case, Brother Zhu will go back." ”

Zhu Wen asked again, "What are your plans?"

Wei Qimu Muran replied: "Let's go to Qingzhou to rescue her first." ”

Zhu Wen wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and said, "There will be a period later!"

At this time, Zhou Yun also came to say goodbye: "Brother Wei, I am going back to Shimen to resume my life, don't say goodbye, if you come to Maoshan one day, I will treat you again." ”

Wei Qimu said goodbye one by one, he lost a friend first, and then two friends, and finally heard the words "there will be a period later", and couldn't help but think of Qinglong and Suzaku again, plus Huang Zhen's matter, suddenly sad came from it, endless, really lonely and unspeakable, very lonely.

After staying for a while, it wasn't until the nightingale cried willows and the oblique moon was in the window that Wei Qimu packed up his emotions, came to say goodbye to Wang Duo, and went straight to Qingzhou.
