The road from Huayin County to Zhongnan Mountain is still very peaceful, after all, Zhongnan Mountain is in the south of Jingzhao Mansion (the so-called Jingzhao Mansion is the name of Chang'an in the Song Dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The title of Xi'an will not be known until the Ming Dynasty).

Lin Bufan and his entourage, as long as they walk along the official road.

A few days later, a convoy of them came to the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. Lin Bufan had instructed them to wait at the bottom of the mountain. Under the leadership of the Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect, he went to Chongyang Palace to worship Chongyang Zhenren.

Two years ago, when Huashan was discussing swords, Wang Chongyang stayed in Baiyun Temple at night, and did not settle in Yuquan Courtyard. So Lin Bufan, who wanted to meet Wang Chongyang at that time, missed Wang Chongyang like this. Now that I think about it, I have no chance, so I can only worship at his tablet.

For Lin Bufan's arrival, Ma Yu, the real person in charge of the Quanzhen Sect, attached great importance to it, and specially sent Hao Datong, the "son of Guangning", to meet him halfway up the mountain. In any case, Lin Bufan is a branch of the Huashan faction and the descendant of Chen Tuan's ancestor.

The four words of Chen Tuan Ancestor are not called blindly. It's all the people of Taoism who give Chen Tuan an an honorific title. The status of this honorific title in Taoism is on par with Taishang Laojun (Lao Tzu) and Zhang Tianshi (Zhang Daoling). Therefore, although Lin Bufan, the master of Yuquan Academy, is not a descendant of the Huashan Sect, and it is not something that the Quanzhen Sect can neglect. After all, the current Quanzhen Sect has not really reached the level that it can dominate Taoism in the future.

Of course, in history, after the Quanzhen Sect dominated Taoism, it directly raised Lu Dongbin's status infinitely high, and as for Chen Tuan's ancestor, it was only circulated in folklore......

Lin Bufan followed Hao Datong up the mountain, and at the same time looked at Hao Datong with a strange look, and looked at Hao Datong all over......

It's not that Lin Bufan is perverted, it's mainly that when he was smiling and arrogant in the past, he worshiped three incense sticks every morning and evening...... Now that I see a real person, I have to look closely......

Lin Bufan came to Chongyang Palace, and after paying homage to Wang Chongyang, he and Zhou Botong, the seventh son of Quanzhen. Chatted a few words. At this time, Zhou Botong was completely immersed in the sadness of his brother's death, and he couldn't see the slightest naughty nature.

After that, he took his leave. After all, he still has a mission.

Regarding Lin Haoxuan's move, the Quanzhen Sect also supported it. If the Xixia people enter the Yongxing military road, then the Quanzhen Sect will definitely have no good fruit to eat. However, Ma Yu also mentioned it vaguely. Do you want the Quanzhen Sect to send a few people to help, after all, the road is not smooth.

However, what made Ma Yu helpless was that Lin Bufan didn't answer his words at all. If Lin Bufan didn't ask for help, it would be difficult for the Quanzhen Sect to lean up with a straight face......

However, Ma Yu is kind-hearted in the end, just after Lin Bufan left, Ma Yu still let Qiu take the opportunity and secretly follow this group of people, just in case. After all, Lin Bufan, who is thin and weak, doesn't look very reliable.

Lin Bufan went down to the end of Nanshan. He led the team to the north and headed northwest of the Yongxing Military Road. In fact, it is northern Shaanxi...... Lin Bufan has complained about this name more than once.

"Lu" was the administrative unit of the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to "province". When the Song Dynasty was founded, the entire Shaanxi Province was called Shaanxi Road. However, later the Western Xia became independent and fought with the Great Song Dynasty all day long. Shaanxi Road, which had always been in the rear, has completely become the front line. Therefore, in the fifth year of Song Shenzong Xining, the entire Shaanxi Road was divided into Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road.

Originally, Western Xia and Jin have always been peaceful, but in recent years. Western Xia didn't know why, and frantically attacked the Yongxing military road. But it has been blocked by the Jin Dynasty on the front line of Hengshan.

In the face of the attack of Western Xia, Jin Zhangzong also attached great importance to it. Specially sent his second son, King Jing Wanyan Hongjing. Governor Yokoyama's battle on the line.

Xixia and Jin went back and forth on the front line of Hengshan to "pull the big saw", but it was the people who really suffered. A large number of strong men were either forcibly conscripted into the army or forcibly conscripted as civil servants. In just two years, the entire northern Shaanxi has completely become a hell on earth. The land is barren and bandits are rampant. Suppress inexhaustible, extinguish endlessly.

Lin Bufan and his entourage, only five days after their departure, encountered three attacks. Originally, these people just saw the appearance of such a convoy and thought it was a fat sheep. But when some people learned about this convoy and what it was really carrying, the whole of northern Shaanxi was completely boiling......

After that, Lin Bufan's troubles came completely......

Medicinal herbs, especially those used to treat sword wounds, are not ordinarily attractive to these bandits and bandits who lack medical treatment.

Even those martial artists, compared to these people, their martial arts are superb. But in the face of these ubiquitous guys, it is inevitable that there will be some carelessness. These people don't want to die...... If you can catch a little, you can catch a little......

These people were originally good people, but because they couldn't survive anymore, they fell into the grass. It looks pitiful and deserves sympathy. Before, as soon as these people saw that the general trend was gone, they would kneel and surrender. Then he cried to those martial artists about his misery. Then he said that he was confused for a while, and hoped that Lin Bufan and they could let him go, and he would definitely change his ways......

Those martial artists, although their martial arts are okay, but their hearts can't be hardened, hearing these people crying like this, where can they do it. As for Lin Bufan, who is "very hard-hearted", he sat in the car and did not interfere. Originally, when he heard what his father said, he thought that there was some great master of the rivers and lakes, but it turned out to be a group of ordinary people who couldn't survive......

In this way, Lin Bufan and his party were completely unlucky, and those people were even more fearless. When Lin Bufan saw this for the third time and announced in front of the martial artist that he was going to change his ways, he was completely angry.

These people turned out to be good people, but after they killed the first man, they got a drop of blood on their hands. They have become bandits through and through, and have nothing to do with the good people. So when it came time to kill him, Lin Bufan did not hesitate at all.

Its hot hands are ruthless, and even the Qiu Chuji hiding behind him is secretly tongue-in-cheek. But he had to admire Lin Bufan's hot hand, because since Lin Bufan attacked more than 30 people, all of them were killed. Lin Bufan and his party have never encountered the attack of these bandits again.

Although Qiu Chuji was a little dissatisfied with Lin Bufan's hot hands, he had to admit that Lin Bufan's doing this was the most effective. Otherwise, if you keep being so slimy and confused, you won't know along the way. How many people are going to die......

In this way, Lin Bufan and his entourage, after more than a month, approached the Hengshan front.

But at this time, the Yokoyama front was not optimistic.

was originally in charge of the front-line battle in Yokoyama. General Wang Huanzhang.

General Wang was the famous general of the Great Song Dynasty after Wang Shao, when General Wang Shao defeated the Western Xia and Qiang people, recovered the land of Wuzhou, and opened up the Hexi Road. The people in the area of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road have erected temples and statues for him. In remembrance, a "tomb" was built for him. This "tomb" is not Wang Shao's burial place, it is just a well-dressed mound and something like that that the people of Qin Fenglu built for him in order to commemorate him.

But the Wang family attached great importance to it and specially sent one of Wang Shao's sons over to guard the "tomb". This is Wang Huanzhang's ancestor.

After the disgrace of Jingkang, the Wang family moved south. But Wang Huanzhang's grandfather stayed, and he wanted to guard the "tomb" for Wang Shao.

After Jin Zhangzong ascended the throne, he invited Wang Huanzhang to come out as an official several times. But they were all rejected. But when two years ago. The Tangut people provoked the war again, and the stragglers deployed by the Jin people on the front line of Hengshan completely collapsed. Wang Huanzhang agreed to the request of the Jin people, came out to be an official, recruited troops on Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road, and defended the Hengshan defense line.

He didn't want to be prosperous and rich, but he didn't want the people of Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road to be trampled on by the iron hooves of Western Xia again.

Wang Huanzhang did a really good job, just relying on a group of people who had just put down their hoes and a group of stragglers. The attack of Western Xia, which was blocked on the front line of Hengshan. However, the Western Xia still attacked unyieldingly, constantly increasing troops to the front. So Jin Zhangzong sent his favorite second son Wanyan Hongjing with a group of elites to help.

Wanyan Hongjing, like his father, likes Han culture. On poetry and songs. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that is naturally proficient in everything. But when it comes to arranging troops, that's ......

At this time, Lin Bufan's convoy was still more than ten miles away from the front line. Suddenly, I saw more than a dozen cavalrymen carrying small flags behind them, shouting along the way.

This is the army clearing the road, and the chariots and horses along the way must be avoided. Otherwise, if you are trampled into powder, you deserve it. Therefore, a martial artist named Li Sihai, who was walking in the front, began to shout to everyone and moved the carriage to the open space next to it.

After a while, Lin Bufan heard a muffled thunderous roar in front of him, and then, the earth began to tremble. Before they could react, they saw a well-equipped cavalry in front of them. Although everyone knew that this cavalry did not come at him. But in the face of this galloping cavalry, everyone was heartbroken, and even Lin Bufan lost his mind for a moment.

The cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the hooves of the horses were trampling on the earth, and the roar was getting louder and louder, and the earth was overwhelmed and groaned. No one could do anything but open their mouths wide and look in horror.

When the cavalry came to the side of the crowd and galloped by, a few young men could not control the fear in their hearts, and they held their heads and couldn't help but let out a hoarse roar. But the sound was immediately drowned out by the thunderous sound of horses' hooves......

However, more than a thousand cavalry passed in the blink of an eye, but everyone still hadn't come back to their senses for a long time. Those martial artists were fine, just standing stunned, while the coachmen who were driving the car knelt on the ground one by one, their heads on the ground and trembling. This kind of heavenly power is not something that ordinary people can resist.

But after Lin Bufan saw the cavalry passing, his face was very ugly. Because he was in the ranks of the cavalry, he found the four-clawed dragon banner......

After a while, the elder Zhao Sihai came back to his senses, shook his head, and muttered with a frightened face: "Where did the cavalry come from, I almost scared Lao Tzu to death......"

"I know!!" Lin Bufan replied faintly.

"What?"

"I know, who they are, that's the Praetorian Guard of the Jin people!! Lin Bufan said, sighed, and continued: "Those people are wearing the four-clawed dragon flag, and they are obviously the Praetorian Guards sent by the Jin people to protect and complete the face of Hongjing. Now that the battle in Yokoyama is in full swing, the commanders of the three armies have run away......"

"You mean ......" Several martial artists, all of them widened their eyes. The coach ran away, what it means for an army, even those of them know it. The defeat was like a mountain......

"That's right, if I'm right, the battle in Yokoyama ...... I'm afraid it's already ...... Defeated......"

"Ah――――――h With a bang, the carriage toppled over, and the herbs were scattered all over the ground.

Zhao Sihai stepped on the medicinal herbs with his feet. While pointing to the direction of the cavalry's departure, he cursed endlessly: "Wanyan Hongjing!!You are a wreck!!With such an army in your hand, what are you afraid of! What are you afraid of!!Ah―――――――― After scolding for two sentences, he raised his head to the sky and roared, and fell to the ground on his back......

It's not just Zhao Sihai. The others all sat on the ground with miserable faces. Under the nest, there are eggs. Their home, their roots, were all here, once the Tangut people went south...... Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road have been dealing with the Xixia people for hundreds of years. What kind of goods are the Tanguts, are they still unclear?

In fact, it was they who were completely desperate, and even Lin Bufan was a little overwhelmed. His martial arts are high, but his personal strength is so small in the face of thousands of troops. If he had stood in front of those cavalry charges just now, no matter how high his martial arts skills were, he would have been trampled into powder.

But years of experience still made him quickly calm down. I saw him and yelled at everyone: "Okay!! What's the use of complaining here!! as the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain." But the mountain is about to fall, and it will take time, isn't it!! General Wang hasn't retreated yet!!Isn't it that whoever wins and who loses, hasn't he yet reached a conclusion!!Look at your little bit of interest!!

Lin Bufan's words have a bit of a strong meaning, the defeat is like a mountain, even if it hasn't fallen yet, who can help it. When the army collapsed, even if Sun and Wu were alive, they were powerless to return to heaven. (Sun Wu, Wu Qi)

So Lin Bufan's words didn't play a role in the slightest...... You're not stupid...... Lin Bufan's words were just an expedient measure, and when he finished speaking, he had an idea in his heart.

I only heard him say in a loud voice: "Anyway. None of us can accept our fate. I'll go to the front and see how it goes. If I can't do anything, I'll try to get General Wang back. As long as he is there, we are not afraid of the Tangut people. As for you...... Just transport all the medicinal materials back to Yan'an Mansion. I just don't know. Can you still walk if you are scared of the guts......"

This is the method that Lin Bufan thought of, no matter what, he had to rescue General Wang Huanzhang. He is now the backbone of the entire Shaanxi Road, as long as he is still here, we are a great city, a city guard. What if he died...... The whole Shaanxi two roads. That's it......"

As soon as Zhao Sihai heard Lin Bufan questioning their courage, he immediately jumped up and was about to refute it. But before he could speak, he heard someone behind him say in a loud voice: "This is very good! General Wang is now the heaven of our Yongxing military road, and no matter what, we must not lose it." But this matter will be handled by the poor road!!"

Lin Bufan knew that Qiu Chuji had been following them, but he didn't want to blow off the kindness of the Quanzhen Sect, so he never revealed it. So I was not surprised to hear Qiu Chuji's words. Instead, he said worriedly: "Daoist Qiu still don't go, Hengshan at this time is already a sea of swords and fires, and if you are not careful, you will die." ”

Lin Bufan's words are not exaggerated, martial arts people are indeed very small on the battlefield and in the face of the army. To be honest, Lin Bufan didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out of the way, let alone Qiu Chuji.

When Qiu Chuji heard this, he was choked up and couldn't say a word. Originally, he was worried that Lin Bufan's martial arts would be low, and he would be sent to death if he went, so he stepped forward. Who knew that he was being underestimated......

Lin Bufan shook his head and walked over, stretching out his right hand towards Qiu Chuji. As soon as the two of them touched their hands, Qiu Chuji was shocked back several steps......

"Daoist Qiu believes it now! I'm not talking nonsense, it's really dangerous. Why don't you take Daoist Qiu and escort them back to Yan'an Mansion safely?"

Qiu Chuji is not a person without self-knowledge, judging from the confrontation just now. This Lin Guan Master of the Huashan Sect, with a terrifying internal force, is indeed qualified to say such things. But what kind of person is he, "Changchunzi", how can he retreat because of danger!!

I saw Qiu Chuji solemnly said to Lin Bufan: "Where righteousness is, there is no fear and fearless !!"

Lin Bufan saw that Qiu Chuji, who had a firm face, did not refuse, but nodded at him. So he came to his carriage, took out a sword, took up his light work, and galloped away towards the north.

And Qiu Chuji also untied the sword at his waist and held it in his hand, following Lin Bufan. Heading north......

ps: Wanyan Hongjing, there is indeed a person in history, he is the second son of Jin Zhangzong, but he died before the age of three and was crowned King Jing.

And Wanyan Hongxi, who appeared in the original work of Condor Shooting, is indeed the third son of Jin Zhangzong, but he also died before the age of three and was crowned King Rong.

As for Wanyan Honglie, the prototype is the sixth son of Jin Zhangzong, Wanyan Terin, who also died before the age of three and was crowned King Ge.

Of course, the plot requires it, and they are all alive......

Jin Zhangzong gave birth to six sons, all of whom died before the age of three.

Can't afford to hurt ......
