Chapter 4 The First Meeting in the Forest The remnants of the Northern Song Dynasty were concerned about the Han Dynasty

In the sparse jungle, there was a burst of wind in the distance, the sound was getting closer and closer, and in less than a while, you could see several figures in the distance rushing forward, and more than a dozen black figures were chasing after them less than ten meters behind, and at a glance, they knew that they were chased by the rivers and lakes.

Although each other's speed was extremely fast, the few people in front were still half a beat slower and were chased by the man in black behind.

A group of masked black-clothed men immediately surrounded these people, and among the five people who were surrounded was a woman wearing a light blue fringed skirt, standing with a sword, her eyebrows were clear, her eyebrows were tightly locked, her eyes were empty, and she asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, why are you chasing and killing us?"

A person in black walked out of the black-clothed people surrounding her, who seemed to be the leader, staring at her, walking around in front of her eyes, deliberately lowering his voice and saying with a little playfulness: "I didn't expect that Ye Baichuan, this old guy, still has such a beautiful granddaughter, it's a pity." ”

Hearing this, the girl knew in her heart that this group of people was her grandfather's enemy or a hostile force, and they were people of great power, otherwise, how could she dare to assassinate her;

Grandfather Ye Baichuan is the current leader of the martial arts league and the owner of the chivalrous villa, which shows his status in the martial arts;

The man in black knew the awesomeness of this task and the urgency of time, and he didn't dare to regenerate his previous color, so he restrained himself, although he felt a little sorry in his heart, he didn't say anything more, and said ruthlessly: "Solve it, don't leave any of them." ”

A sword sounded, and the woman's movements were a little sluggish, but the sword was against the knife cut by the man in black, which could be described as frightening, and suddenly, a man in black was about to stab her in the back while she was unprepared, and the woman's life was in danger.

But no one expected that at this critical moment, not far away, a few very small gray shadows flew in, and several black-clothed men were injured with swords, and the weapons in their hands flew out, including the person who stabbed the woman in the back.

On the injured hand of the man in black, there was a small blood mark on the wound, and a stream of blood spurted out from the blood stain, and several people immediately held their wrists reflexively, and not far from the ground was a willow leaf with blood stains.

The person who spoke just now said vigilantly: "Since Your Excellency is here, don't hide it secretly." At the same time, he stared around cautiously like the other men in black, for fear that he would be caught off guard by the other party.

After looking at it for a while, he didn't see anyone, and the man in black wanted to provoke the other party verbally, luring the other party out, and said, "Your Excellency, secretly attacking is not a gentleman's doing." Since it's all here, it's no fun to hide it anymore!" At the same time, his eyes glanced back and forth to catch the existence of the other party,

It's not so much a stirring general, it's more psychological warfare, if the people who throw the darts don't come out, this group of people will have no sense of security, and everyone understands this truth, so they don't dare to act rashly.

At this time, a lazy voice came from the tree seven or eight meters away from them, "Don't look for it, on the tree." The other people in black were still looking around, but the man in black who spoke immediately locked on to the source of the sound, which shows that this person is also extremely martial arts.

And looked at the tree, and saw a handsome young man in green clothes, holding a sword in his hand, his hands clasped around his chest, with a lazy expression, as if he had just woken up, he leaned quietly on the willow tree.

The man in black looked at him suspiciously for a while, making sure that there was only this person around, but he didn't know what the other party was, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, this is a personal grudge, and I hope you don't meddle in this matter." ”

This handsome young man is naturally Qing Yusheng who went down the mountain, from the time he heard the sound of the breaking wind, Qing Yusheng jumped to the tree with light skills and used his ears to identify the source of the sound, and then, lazily looking at all this, he didn't intend to provoke this matter of right and wrong, but it seemed that there was a voice in his heart that drove him to make a move.

Qing Yusheng said nonchalantly: "You are noisy until I rest, and I don't want to care about your grievances, I want to fight, go farther." This group of people was stunned when they heard his words, can there be such an operation?

Qing Yusheng didn't pay attention to them after speaking, he closed his eyes, and seemed to really have no intention of caring about this idle trip, but this couldn't help but make people feel an invisible pressure around them, and in the oppressive atmosphere, it really made people feel suffocated.

The man in black couldn't be sure if Qing Yusheng would interfere again, judging from the performance just now, Qing Yusheng was able to make a silent move, so that they didn't notice it, he should be a powerful master, at least at the same level or even above his own, and he had to have some scruples. He hesitated, but still chose to give up, and ordered with anger in his tone, "Let's go." ”

Then all the men in black gave up their goal of assassination, quickly evacuated, listened to a sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and made sure that the men in black had gone away, and the woman also came back to her senses, and said in the direction of the tree where the voice came from before: "Thank you, childe, for saving your life." ”

Qing Yusheng glanced at the woman, and had to marvel in his heart, her skin was white and snowy, her apricot face was peachy, and she was generous, but she didn't understand why her eyes were a little hollow.

"In Ye Wanqing, the chivalrous villa, can the son leave his name, and the chivalrous villa will repay this favor in the future. The others followed suit, and Qing Yusheng disappeared in a flash, and after a long time of no response, a man dressed as a disciple came over and said, "Miss, he's gone." ”

Hearing the words of the disciple of the Chivalrous Villa, the woman felt sorry for a while, after all, the other party had saved herself, and she didn't even know what the other party's name was, so the person disappeared, but felt that she had lost her manners.

Although she didn't know Eun Gong's name, her voice was firmly in her heart.

Everyone knows that Ye Wanqing of this chivalrous villa has a special ability, that is, she can remember all the voices she has heard, so even the man in black just now did not dare to use his original voice to talk to her.

After a long time, the woman said to a few people around her: "In the future, when you meet this person, you must not lose your courtesy." "Chivalry Villa has always had clear grievances, since the other party helped him today, that is his benefactor, the guest of Chivalry Villa, the four of them responded: "Yes."

The woman added: "Also, after you go back, don't tell grandpa about this, so as not to worry him." Whoever wants to say that he leaks his mouth will bear the consequences. "The disciples of the Chivalrous Villa know that the old man's health has been getting worse and worse in recent years, although the people outside don't know, but their own disciples still know a little, especially the disciples like a few of them who are easier to get close to the old man and the young lady, once the news leaks, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at the Chivalrous Villa, or the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

In the past two years, the young lady has been taking care of the big and small affairs in the village, and people from the outside world must have noticed it, and they can't help but wonder if Ye Baichuan is really dying, otherwise how could today's incident happen?

It is precisely because the young lady has been taking care of the affairs inside and outside the villa for the past two years, and she has become more and more capable, shrewd and decisive, and she is no longer the innocent, soft and weak young lady who looked innocent at the beginning.

The snow is flying all over the sky and is cold to the bone, and I don't see Wang Shi's intention to go north.

Shandong Jinan Mansion Xin Zhai, Xin Zan looked at the goose feather snow, worried and frowned, since the fall of the Central Plains, it has been more than thirty-three years.

But who doesn't know that he Xin Zan was originally a Song minister, but he became an official of a gold thief and became a traitor, spurned by the people in the world, and he felt even more insulting and ashamed of his ancestors.

But since he heard that General Yue led his troops to sweep across the Central Plains and wave his army north, how excited he was! But he was stopped by Qin Xiang, and he regretted for a while when the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty would be recovered.

At this time, someone put on a fox fur coat for him from behind, "The weather is cold, grandfather should go into the house to warm up!" said the young man who put on the coat for him;

It's spring, but it's still snowy outside. The gray-haired old man barely came back to his senses, "No, you can go in first! Let me mourn here quietly for a while." Xin Zan replied worriedly.

The young man remembers that for as long as he can remember, his grandfather had a time of deep sorrow at this time of year. In the past, the young man would not disturb his grandfather when he saw this, but today he stood beside his grandfather and watched the snow in this courtyard, quietly accompanying his grandfather, I don't know if it was distracted, or for what reason, he suddenly said, "When will this snow fall!" It seems to be a casual emotion, but it seems to have another deep meaning.

When the old Xin Zan heard this, he glanced at the young man, and seemed to be deeply touched, and said, "Yes, when will it snow? Just like how long will the dog outside watch!"

Of course, the young man knew that the dog outside was the golden man who had been staring at their Xin family all these years.

After a long time, Xin Zan seemed to remember something again, and said, "If Grandpa remembers correctly, you should be twenty this year!"

Although the young man was puzzled, he still replied respectfully: "If you go back to your grandfather, my grandson is just twenty years old this year. ”

Xin Zan smiled with satisfaction, touched his loose white beard and said, "Wow! In a blink of an eye, my illness is also twenty years old, and one day I am gone, I can be regarded as worthy of my ancestors and ancestors." ”

The young man pretended to be displeased and said, "Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. ”

Xin Zan said indifferently: "As the saying goes: life is rare for seventy years, and people in the world will not live more than sixty." I've had enough of my old man. ”

Xin Zan paused for a while, and said a little sadly: "Thinking back to me Xin Zan, this life is bright and upright, I never thought that people would become traitors in middle age, and their fate was ill-fated, and they lost their children in middle age, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, I wanted to go with your father, and I thought that you were too young to take care of yourself, but I didn't expect to live half of my life in humiliation." After saying that, Xin Zan let out another long sigh.

Young people are also people who grew up under the education of Confucianism, and they know their grandfather's pain well, and said: "It's the grandson who is not good, and the grandfather is affected." ”

"Disease, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really have no face to face my ancestors and ancestors anymore. He was relieved.

After a moment of silence, Xin Zan asked, "Ji'er, do you remember the meaning of the name I chose for you in the first place?"

Although the young man was a little puzzled, why did his grandfather ask knowingly? But he still replied respectfully: "My grandfather hopes that his grandson will become a general, like General Huo Quzhi of the Western Han Dynasty, and become a general, and go north to recover the Central Plains, and even expand the territory, so he named me 'Abandon the disease' with the name of 'Sickness'." ”

Xin Zan nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is one thing, I have thought about it for a long time, but I still want to say it and listen to your thoughts." ”

The young man replied respectfully, "Grandfather, but it's okay to say. Then, make the appearance of listening.

Xin Zan sorted out his thoughts and said: "Thirty-two years ago, your father accompanied General Yue's Northern Expedition, originally wanted to recover the Central Plains and save the suffering people from fire and water, General Yue also lived up to expectations and won many battles, but just twenty years ago, just when General Yue recovered Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other places, and marched to Zhuxian Town, he received a decree from the imperial court asking him to return to the court, and General Yue also guessed that someone in the court was afraid that someone in the court would impeach him together with Qin Xiang, who had always been in peace, and the emperor was afraid that he would be a great meritorious, so he also accepted the advice and ordered him to return to the court;

General Yue knew that it would be bad luck to go back, so he wrote a letter and asked the communications troops to send it to General Chen Yinglong, who was escorting the military salaries at that time, overnight, and asked him to hide them for the future Northern Expedition Leave, and wait for the juniors to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, when your father followed under General Han's account, and encountered an ambush at that time, in order to divert these people, your father and General Han parted ways,

Your father took you all the way north in his infancy, but unfortunately your father sent you back with his last breath... Two years later, news came from the south that General Yue Fei intended to rebel, and the whole family was beheaded. ”

Chief Xin Zanchang felt a little sorry, sighed, and said, "Grandfather wants to..."

Xin Zan seemed to be a little reluctant to say it, after all, he was a Jin minister, and if he wanted to say these words, he would be a person, a minister and not a minister.

The young man naturally knew these words, and his grandfather couldn't say it, so he answered: "Grandfather, I want my grandson to find these two generals to get these things, uncover the rod, and wave his army to the north to recover the Central Plains." ”

"Smart, that's what I mean, after all, you and grandpa are different, although you and I are both Han, but you have not been a Jin Chen, you are not treacherous when you raise troops, do not violate loyalty and filial piety, as a Han this is an act of loyalty to the country..." Sinzan stated the stakes.

The young man replied: "Grandson is stupid, how can grandson find these two generals?"

"As far as I know, these two were once people in the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes came from the rivers and lakes. Find them and tell them that you are a descendant of Xin Wenyu, and I think they will understand. Xin Zan said, in fact, Xin Zan was not sure whether the person in front of him was a descendant of his Xin family or a descendant of his Yue family;

But nothing mattered, because since he was forced to be a gold slave, he had little dignity and pride to talk about, and the most glorious thing in his life was to train his grandson to become a talent.

"Tonight, our grandfather and grandson are having a good drink, tomorrow, you will pack up your things and leave, find this batch of military salaries and military books as soon as possible, grandpa I hope that when I am alive, one day, I can still see when Wang Shi goes north." Xin Zan said sadly;

The young man replied resolutely: "There will be such a day, my grandson swears to my grandfather that even if I fail to find these two generals, I will recover the lost territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and even expand the territory." ”

Seeing the determination and ambition of the young man, Xin Zan smiled with satisfaction and cried, "Good, good, grandpa is waiting for this day." ”

This night, no one spoke, the family of three was eating silently as before, but it was not like in the past, tonight, Lao Xin asked the servant to bring a pot of wine, and the grandfather and grandson drank to each other, saying that the grandfather and grandson only understood the dumb riddle, and the old woman of the Xin family didn't understand, but just said: "Old man, you drink less, good grandson, you too." ”

"Grandson, listen to grandmother. The young man responded;

This poor old woman of the Xin family is still in the dark, and she doesn't know that after tonight, I am afraid that she will never have the opportunity to see his precious grandson again.

At the fourth watch in the morning, a person quietly left the Xin family with a burden, and even the Jin Bing, who usually monitors the Xin family, did not expect that after guarding for so many years, someone would leave today.
