Zhang Xiaochuan was surrounded and intercepted, exhausted, he accidentally rolled down the hillside, fell into the thorn bushes, pierced the thorns, and fainted. Fortunately, someone came to the rescue, and the people plucked the kudzu thorns from his body one by one. There are two places where the thorns are particularly deep, and it is quite laborious to pull out, and Zhang Xiaochuan endures the pain. The man suddenly exerted force, and the thorn pulled out, Zhang Xiaochuan's body hurt violently, but he also woke up, it turned out that he had just had a dream. He slowly opened his eyes, and Jingfan was wiping the silver needle. It turned out that he was treating himself just now. After the characters on the rivers and lakes left, the monks of Shaolin Temple secretly said that they were lucky. On the one hand, the abbot of the clearance is treating the disabled and the disabled, and on the other hand, he is cleaning up the scene and arranging the aftermath for the casualties and others one by one. Jingfan is well versed in medical theory, took Zhang Xiaochuan's pulse, and knew that he was too angry and sad in a day, and under the rage, he fought with people recklessly, struggled to support, and his physical strength was almost exhausted, so he was afraid that his body would be greatly disadvantaged, so he used acupuncture to guide him.

"Xianggong!" a very beautiful face leaned over and took his hand. "Ruomei. Zhang Xiaochuan called, feeling a little relieved in his heart, and suddenly saw the Shaolin Temple monk carrying a corpse, and immediately thought of Li Xueyao's tragic death. His expression suddenly darkened, his heart ached, and he almost fainted.

"The holy decree has arrived! Zhang Xiaochuan has received the decree!" A shout of neither men nor women came, and a team of soldiers bravely surrounded a father-in-law arrived. Everyone present knelt down one after another. Zhang Xiaochuan wanted to sit up, but he had half the strength in his body, so he had to lie down helplessly. "Zhang Xiaochuan, hurry up and take the order!" the father-in-law urged impatiently, squinting his eyes, his expression was extremely arrogant, and he looked at Fairy Ruomei and scolded loudly, "Who are you? "Diao Min, it's really Diao Min, dare to resist the order! Come on! Quickly take it down for me!" the father-in-law yelled in a thin voice. With a "hula" sound, seven or eight soldiers rushed over. Ruomei Fairy tore off the leather whip in her waist, crackled a few times, and couldn't help but roll several people to the ground. "I really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard gall, and I actually resisted the order and resisted arrest!" The father-in-law was so angry that he screamed "wow", and called more people to come forward.

Ruomei Fairy threw out the whip at the father-in-law, and the whip made a violent sound in the air, and the father-in-law was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank and hugged his head. The whip did not reach his body, but the father-in-law looked embarrassed, he lost face, and he was willing to give up wherever he was. He tore open his throat and was about to scold, but his body was already numb, and the more he scratched, the more he tickled, the more he scratched, and there were already blood marks on his body. The justice is used to being flattered, where has he suffered such grievances. He howled, "It's itching me, it's itching me!" but he refused to beg for mercy. Zhang Xiaochuan was quite angry when he saw his suitable look, and when he saw his embarrassed appearance, he was quite relieved, and waited for him to wail for a while, and then said to Ruomei Fairy, "Ruomei, quickly take the antidote!" According to Ruomei Fairy's meaning, he also wanted to let the father-in-law suffer from numbness and itching for a while, seeing Zhang Xiaochuan's pleading gaze, knowing that he was weak and unwilling to let him worry, he slowly took out the antidote and threw it to him. The father-in-law hurriedly swallowed it, the antidote went down to his stomach, the effect was immediately apparent, the itching gradually stopped, and he couldn't say how comfortable he was. The father-in-law was about to shout again, and suddenly remembered the tragic situation of Shicai, so he held back.

The abbot of the clear space said to the father-in-law, "General Zhang is weak and weak, can my father-in-law please be flexible and let someone take the order on his behalf?" "This 。。。。。。 The father-in-law also wanted to leave the place earlier, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but who will take the order?" Ruomei. Zhang Xiaochuan shouted, and Fairy Ruomei immediately understood. She took a few steps forward, and when the father-in-law saw her come forward, he was frightened, and took a few steps back, and stood still, but did not give the order. "Ruomei, don't be rude!" Zhang Xiaochuan said to Fairy Ruomei. Seeing Zhang Xiaochuan's pleading eyes, Ruomei Fairy knew that this matter was very important, so she reluctantly knelt down. Although the father-in-law was dissatisfied in his heart, he was afraid of stimulating her, and he was even more afraid of suffering from the itching again, so he had to ignore it and began to announce the decree. I only heard him read, "I am blessed by Haotian's life, God bless the ancestors, and inherit the unification." Fengtian carrier, in order to control the people. Today, the Liao people have no way, and they have repeatedly provoked, violated our borders, and injured our people. For the sake of livelihood, the heavens are specially used to rebel. I want to step out of Beijing and strengthen the prestige of our army! Zhang Xiaochuan, the general of the special propaganda department, will see you on the same day, and I will see you here!"

After the father-in-law finished reading the holy decree, Fairy Ruomei stood up and had already snatched the holy decree in his hand. "You。。。。。。 The father-in-law was very angry, but he did not dare to attack. Jingkong knew that the matter was very important, Zhang Xiaochuan's health had not recovered, and it was inconvenient to set off, so he pleaded with the father-in-law and said, "General Zhang is weak and weak, and it is not suitable for a tiring journey, please ask your father-in-law to say a lot of good words to the emperor, and it will be good to give him a few days!" "How can this be done, the emperor will drive the expedition in person in the near future! It is necessary to set off quickly, and you can't miss the major military affairs!" The father-in-law refused, and the abbot of the clear space heard it badly before saying anything. Ruomei Fairy smiled at her father-in-law and said, "I don't know if my father-in-law is willing to say a lot of kind words, can I be lenient?" The father-in-law listened to her, saw her smile with cunning, and saw her expression suddenly felt a sense of relief, and he didn't allow it, but he couldn't help but say, "The Sprinkle family will try it, but the emperor blames it, and you can't afford to wait for it!" "Thank you, father-in-law!" The abbot of the clear sky gave him a salute, and the father-in-law glanced around at everyone and said, "Let's go!"

Why did Emperor Zhenzong want to drive the expedition in person, everyone was puzzled, and they felt that this matter was not trivial and had a great stake.

It turned out that the Liao soldiers continued to move south, which made Emperor Zhenzong worried and anxious. He summoned his ministers in the palace every day to inquire about the strategy, and he always went from morning to night, and sometimes he didn't even care about eating, but he never had a good plan to defeat the enemy.

Just in time for the new death of Prime Minister Li Xin, there was no prime minister in the book, and Emperor Zhenzong asked Yu Hanlin to study for a bachelor and secretary Bi Shi'an. Bi Shi'an thought for a while and replied, "Kou Zhun is upright and righteous, has the ability to deal with major affairs, and is the talent of the prime minister. Emperor Zhenzong said, "I heard that Kou Zhun was stubborn and self-serving, but I don't know if it's true or not. Bi Shi'an replied, "This man has always been upright in his dealings, generous and generous, and he can forget himself for the country, and he is as evil as hatred, but he is afraid that no one in the court and the central government can match." No one is perfect, and even geniuses are inevitably tainted by vulgarity and talked about by others. Now that the border is turbulent, what the imperial court needs is this kind of person who dares to act and does not seek his own selfish interests!" Emperor Zhenzong was overjoyed when he heard what he said, and he eagerly used Kou Zhun as the prime minister.

Kou Zhun was promoted to the rank of scholar at the age of nineteen, and at the age of thirty, he was a ruling officer, and he was talented and vicious. Song Taizong once compared himself to Tang Taizong, but he never tolerated Kou Zhun of Wei Zheng's style, and Kou Zhun was demoted to the governor of Dengzhou by him because of his outspokenness. After Emperor Zhenzong ascended the throne, he was slowly promoted to the third envoy, and this time Kou Zhun was really ordered to be in danger.

The urgent news at the border flew into the capital like snowflakes, and the urgent report was "five solstice in one night", and the situation was extremely urgent. Raising the court up and down, panicking, the whole country up and down, turmoil. But the new prime minister, Kou Zhun, talks and laughs freely. He shelved all the urgent reports and ignored them, which caused the ministers to be very dissatisfied.

On the morning of the second day, everyone reported this matter to Emperor Zhenzong together with the side newspaper, and Emperor Zhenzong was shocked when he heard the report, and asked Kou Zhun suspiciously, "Kou Aiqing, are you really like this, don't you take state affairs seriously?" Kou Zhun replied unhurriedly, "It is true that the ministers talk and laugh freely, how dare they despise state affairs in the slightest! The minister is the head of a hundred officials, if something happens, he will be flustered, wouldn't he be a loser to the emperor!" Emperor Zhenzong listened, felt quite reasonable, and felt a little relieved, and then said, "What Aiqing said is very true, the Liao people's move is really a clown jumping off the beam, a trivial matter, why be afraid, you don't need to panic." After speaking, Emperor Zhenzong glanced at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty with his eyes, only to see them one by one with their eyebrows lowered and their heads lowered, and their faces were ashamed.

In fact, Emperor Zhenzong himself was not panicked and terrified, so of course he couldn't bear to blame his ministers. After all, Emperor Zhenzong was bottomless in his heart, and said to Kou Zhun, "Aiqing said, the Liao people are self-defeating, which is really congratulatory, can you explain a thing or two to everyone." Kou Zhun took over the conversation and said, "The Liao people have been fighting for many years, and it is always difficult to perform their work, and now they are even more stretched. Therefore, it was only the country that was dispatched, led by Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao personally, but it was just a bluff, and it was not enough. Besides, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers are brave and brave, how can they be afraid! The Liao soldiers are alone in the depths, and they will inevitably be defeated if they invade the country for a hundred miles, and the worries of the enemy country are exactly the joy of our country, and they should really celebrate!" "The more Emperor Zhenzong listened, the more he felt reasonable, and his courage immediately grew, and he didn't realize that his face was happy, and he was about to open his mouth to praise Kou Zhun greatly. At this time, someone among the ministers said loudly, "Xianggong said it lightly. Liao generals Yelu Nugua and Xiao Tzu Rin went out, causing the entire army of Wang Jizhong's department to be wiped out, and now Liao Shengzong and Empress Dowager Xiao are out in person, and the military power of the other side is even greater!" As soon as he said this, Emperor Zhenzong remembered the past and felt quite reasonable, and began to be frightened again, and echoed casually, "Kou Aiqing, how is this good, Aiqing has a good plan?"

Kou Zhun glanced at it, and saw that the person who spoke was Wang Qinruo, who was the chief counselor, and he knew that this person could speak well, in order to prevent confusion and confusion, Kou Zhun did not want to argue with him in public, so he said to Emperor Zhenzong, "Time has passed, the situation has changed, and Weichen has a plan to retreat from the enemy. If Your Majesty follows the courtiers' proposals, within five days, the Liao soldiers will retreat!" Although Wang Qinruo knew that Kou Zhun could not have any clever plan to return to heaven, he heard him say that he wanted to write to the emperor, so it was inconvenient to ask again, so he had to give up.

Emperor Zhenzong listened to Kou Zhun's words, but he was impatient, how could he wait for him to "play". That night, Emperor Zhenzong urgently summoned Kou Zhun into the palace to inquire about the plan. Kou Zhun said unhurriedly, "Although our army is numerous, it has also suffered many defeats, why not? It is all because of low morale, especially since the defeat of Cao Bin's army, the officers and men of our army have talked about the change of color and the fear of tigers and wolves, so how can they win?" Emperor Zhenzong said, "If there is a quarrel against the people, it is good to get along." The Liao people have always been skilled in bows and horses, coming and going like the wind, it is really difficult to counteract, Aiqing can have a clever strategy to resist the enemy?" Kou Zhun said angrily, "Why is this difficult? The minister implored His Majesty to drive the expedition in person, at that time, the soldiers of our army, everyone is excited, all of them are brave, they will be able to take one as ten, invincible and unfavorable, why worry that the strong enemy will not be broken?" Emperor Zhenzong heard this, and he couldn't imagine that he would let himself drive the expedition in person, and he was stunned for a moment. Let yourself be the power of the Son of Heaven, personally greet Yashi, such a clever plan, Emperor Zhenzong did not dare to try lightly, after a long time, he said, "Wait for me to think about it carefully!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhenzong was quite hesitant, Kou Zhun immediately retired, and after he withdrew, Emperor Zhenzong immediately summoned Bi Shi'an. He explained what Kou Zhun said, and asked him, "Why does Aiqing think it is?" Bi Shi'an heard this, quite assumed, and strongly agreed, and Emperor Zhenzong made up his mind to drive the expedition in person to strengthen the army. On the second day, Emperor Zhenzong told this intention to the auxiliary ministers and generals, and asked everyone to express their opinions, naturally some people applauded, some people objected, and some were noncommittal, shaking their heads and sighing. It's really "building a house on the side of the road, and it won't work in three years".

Besides, Zhang Xiaochuan, after this battle, his vitality was greatly injured, and he needed to recuperate in the mountains for a period of time, so as to restore his vitality with the help of Shaolin's acupuncture method. If Fairy Mei insisted on guarding him, how could Zhang Xiaochuan agree. On the one hand, the temple rules of Shaolin Temple are not allowed, and on the other hand, Li Xueyao died and died because he was hidden in the temple. Zhang Xiaochuan said that she had to do the work of Ruomei Fairy, and she went down the mountain to live in a farmhouse.

With the assistance of "Yijin Sutra" and Jingfan's superb medical skills, Zhang Xiaochuan's body recovered quickly, and he was able to get up after three or five days. After getting up, he asked where Li Xueyao's incense mound was, and immediately went to mourn. Li Xueyao and others were buried in a recess in the back mountain.

The sky was overcast, and Zhang Xiaochuan's heart was even more cloudy. Coming up the mountain, many new graves were crowded together, and after moving forward for a distance, I saw the graves of the ruthless Shitai and Ye Fei. Moving forward, I saw the sign with "Li Xueyao's Tomb" in the book, Zhang Xiaochuan was sad, couldn't help himself, fell to his knees, and two lines of tears flowed down. Thinking of the scene when I first met Li Xueyao, I recalled that the two of them dug bamboo shoots together, walked along the West Lake together, took a boat together, and experienced stormy waves. The past is vivid, but the beauty of the city, the gentle and delicate body, but turned into a pinch of loess. Zhang Xiaochuan hated himself to death, pounded his chest, hugged the wooden sign in front of Li Xueyao's grave and cried bitterly, heartbroken. He was extremely self-reproachful, deeply repentant, and unrehabilitated, so he cried to death.

"Xianggong, Xianggong. Hearing the call, Zhang Xiaochuan slowly opened his eyes. "Ruomei, are you here?" Zhang Xiaochuan saw Fairy Ruomei's face clearly, and she was holding herself in her arms. If the rose fairy was not worried about Zhang Xiaochuan, he came to visit the temple, and the monk told him that Zhang Xiaochuan arrived at the back mountain, and the rose fairy came to look for him, but he had fainted to death due to sadness. Seeing that he was awake, Fairy Ruomei was slightly relieved and slowly helped him sit up.

The two of them sat silently, Zhang Xiaochuan leaned on Fairy Ruomei, and was speechless for a while. Suddenly, it rained, and it was very urgent, and it was getting denser and denser, and the fairy Ruomei knew that he was too weak to get caught in the rain, so she hurriedly helped him up and wanted to go down the mountain with him. Zhang Xiaochuan insisted on refusing, Zhang Xiaochuan urged her to go down the mountain, she was willing wherever she was, the two of them argued for a while, and their bodies were drenched. The rain was cold, Zhang Xiaochuan's heart was cold, seeing that the Ruomei Fairy was soaked by the rain, Zhang Xiaochuan was distressed and impatient, and couldn't help but roar, "I have done so many wrong things, including you, and hurt so many people, why do you still want to be good to me! I, Zhang Xiaochuan, don't deserve to have your kindness to me, I Zhang Xiaochuan is not worthy! God, why don't you punish me!" Zhang Xiaochuan raised his head to the sky, exchanged tears, and roared heartbreakingly, Ruomei Fairy pounced, hugged him desperately, and hugged him tightly.

The rain went crazy for a while, slowly getting smaller, and Zhang Xiaochuan gradually calmed down, muttering in his mouth, "It's me who has failed everyone to be good to me! It's me who made everything so bad!" He thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head and said to Fairy Ruomei, "Ruomei, you go, go far away, don't care about me, never care about my life or death!" Fairy Ruomei raised her head and looked at her in surprise, and slowly her surprise turned into anger. "What are you talking about? You let me go! Zhang Xiaochuan! After ten years, I have gradually let go and no longer hate. I also think that you may have a last resort. Later, I saw you and her, although they were inseparable, there was no courtesy. Over the years, we've punished each other enough. I still can't let you go, but you are so ruthless, not long after we met, you actually want to drive me away!" Zhang Xiaochuan was ashamed and ashamed, he couldn't bear it, and hugged her tightly. "Ruomei, it's me who is not good!It's all my fault!" "Of course you are not good! Zhang Xiaochuan, you are a bastard!" "Ruomei Fairy was angry and resentful, and beat him with both hands. "Yes, you're right, I, Zhang Xiaochuan, am a bastard. "Aren't you going to drive me away, you let me go, let me go!" Zhang Xiaochuan hugged her tightly, where would he let go. "Let me go, you bastard!" said Fairy Ruomei, but leaned over him and didn't move. At this time, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated.

"Amitabha, good, good!" With a Buddha horn, Zhang Xiaochuan and Fairy Ruomei looked back and saw that it was the abbot of the clear sky and the dragon in the sky. "Senior Brother Abbot, Dragon Gang Master, you are here!" the two nodded to them, and the abbot of the clear sky opened his mouth and said to Zhang Xiaochuan and Fairy Ruomei, "Only by cultivating a hundred generations can you cross the same boat, and only by cultivating a thousand generations can you sleep together." The gaze of 500 times in the previous life is exchanged for the rubbing of shoulders once in this life. May the two of you cherish it!" Jingkong saw that the two of them listened quietly, and then said, "How much love is left in the world, welcome the thousand changes in the floating world, and have lovers, do happy things, don't ask whether it is a catastrophe or fate!" The two of them listened, realized a little, and nodded slightly.

"How many people in the world can be as transcendent as the abbot, how can you and I be worldly people who are ruthless and loveless. Since there is affection and love, it is inevitable that there will be fetters, and there will be a lot of helplessness and frustration. Long Zaitian looked at the handsome face that seemed to be familiar and made him feel intimate, and said with emotion. It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and she didn't have time to ask about the farewell, and she didn't even bother to say a word, but she had already gone, how could Long Zaitian have regrets in his heart. After a pause, he added, "Love is beautiful, but it also has all kinds of responsibilities. 'The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible', the Liao people are cruel and tyrannical, you and I who practice martial arts, we should put the country and the nation first, don't be bound by the personal feelings of our children, miss the country's major affairs, and become the sinner of the country and the nation!" He doesn't think about his own selfishness at all, and always worries about state affairs, Zhang Xiaochuan is a little uneasy in his heart, and he admires Long Zaitian even more. Then he said, "The lesson of the Dragon Gang Master is to remember the teachings in the future!" "For many years, my Great Song Dynasty has had no good treatment for the Liao people, and now the Liao Shengzong and the Empress Dowager Xiao are even more personally leading the army of tigers and wolves, and their situation is not trivial, the situation is extremely critical, and Bianjing is already in danger. If there is no clever strategy, I am afraid that disaster will be inevitable in the end. The dragon choked his wrist as he spoke, and his heart was painful and sad.

"I don't know if you noticed that day?" The abbot of the clear sky took over the conversation and asked Zhang Xiaochuan, seeing that he was extremely concerned, he continued, "On that day, the swordsmanship used by the five of them was extremely powerful, and it seemed to be the same as your swordsmanship. Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochuan nodded. I think they took great pains to retaliate, and in order to stimulate Zhang Xiaochuan, they deliberately used his free sword technique. mentioned the events of that day, Li Xueyao's grave was in front of him, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel a great pain in his heart, he forced himself to endure his grief and listened to the two of them dissect. "The Dragon Gang Leader and I have learned a little from the events of that day. The abbot of the clearance looked at Zhang Xiaochuan and said slowly. "Senior Brother Abbot, please speak!" Zhang Xiaochuan didn't know what he meant, and patiently asked them for advice. "Do you usually use this sword technique to be so powerful?" Zhang Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "This set of sword techniques, after I learned it, is also mediocre. But after I had an adventure, my skill increased greatly, and after the sword technique was used, the sword aura was so powerful that it was difficult to guard against, but it could not be compared with such a situation. "Before, Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Chengzong fought, and everyone saw the power of his swordsmanship.

"That's it, it must be this way of swordsmanship, a few people join forces, it's even more wonderful!" After the abbot of the clear space finished speaking, Long Zaitian nodded, and then said, "The power of several people joining forces can be seen, if you can understand the magic method and use it in the Song Liao battle array, you will definitely be able to achieve miraculous results and hit the Liao soldiers hard!" Speaking of this, the faces of the dragon in the sky and the abbot of the clear space were full of joy and excitement. Although the abbot of the clear space has a very high cultivation and is quite determined, and he is rarely happy, this discovery really surprised the two. Zhang Xiaochuan's body has not recovered, his heart hurts, and he has no intention of thinking about this, once he is broken by the two of them, his heart is suddenly clear. remembered that day, several of them jumped up at the same time and attacked Li Xueyao with their swords at the same time. It was really unbearable to look back, my heart was cramping, I suddenly felt dizzy, my body shook a few times, and I almost couldn't stand steadily.

Ruomei Fairy hurriedly held him up, and the abbot of the clear sky and Long Zaitian asked with concern, "How do you feel?" Zhang Xiaochuan calmed down, shook his head, and signaled that there was no big problem. Zhang Xiaochuan thought for a while, and said to them, "I think this matter is feasible, if it can work, I will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" "It's just that time is pressing, I don't know if I can make it in time!" Long Zaitian looked at Zhang Xiaochuan and said worriedly, waiting for him to make a statement. "I'll start preparing right away, but there's just a lack of manpower!" Zhang Xiaochuan said to the two. Seeing that he had agreed to try, the abbot of the clear sky was very pleased, and said cheerfully, "What's so difficult about this, I will send you the disciples of the Luohan Hall for you to send!" "This is very good!" After the few people finished speaking, the plan was decided, and they walked down the mountain together. At this time, a group of soldiers was marching up the mountain.
