The river fish drove the horse at a gallop all the way to the north. He wanted to catch up with the Great Song delegation and go to the Kingdom of Jin together. He came to Baxian Town, and once he came and went, he missed his itinerary for two days. Hurrying up at the moment, it was expected that there should be time to catch up with the Great Song envoys before they reached the Song-Jin border.

The weather in summer can change as you say. In the morning, the wind was still beautiful, and when it was near noon, the sky suddenly darkened, and the sky was covered with dark clouds and strong winds.

Jiangyu knew that the heavy rain was coming, but there was no village in front of here, no store in the back, and he hurried up at the moment, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes and looked around, saw a temple not far in front of him, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly drove forward, and after a while, he came to the front, and looked at it, the temple was in disrepair and dilapidated, but it was still possible to shelter from the rain in front of him. Hurriedly dismounted, led the horse into the temple, only to see that the Buddha statue inside was damaged, the offering table was tattered, there was a pile of ashes on the ground in the middle, and there were some thatched dry firewood piled up next to it.

Jiang Yu tied his horse to the door, and his clothes were already soaked, so he took out the fire from his bosom, lit the thatch on the ground, and set up dry firewood, and after a while, the fire burned.

Jiang Yu took off his shirt, wrung out the water, held his hands up, stood in front of the fire to roast, listened to the sound of wind and rain outside getting louder and louder, and waited until the clothes were almost dry, put on his clothes, and walked to the door to look, only to see that the sky outside was dark, dark and gloomy, the vision was blurred, the heavy rain was like a note, the wind was blowing, and the trees were swaying.

Jiang Yu knew that the rain would not stop for a while, even if he was anxious about the fire, there was nothing he could do, so he sighed at the moment, walked back to the fire, sat on the ground to roast the fire, and groaned silently.

Suddenly, I heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the sound was chaotic and dense, and it was obvious that there were many people.

Jiang Yu was startled, hurriedly got up and walked to the door, took a look, only to see more than a dozen fast horses appear on the official road in the distance, coming towards this side, getting closer and closer, and then take a closer look, only to see that the dozen or so people on the horse were wearing military uniforms, Song army decorations, helmets and armor, and weapons.

Jiang Yu's heart moved, knowing that these people, like himself, also wanted to come to this broken temple to avoid the rain, so he turned around and walked to the fire, turned his back to the temple door, and sat down to roast the fire.

Hearing that those people arrived outside the temple, they dismounted one after another, and a voice said loudly: "Handsome, miss, it's here, go in and take shelter from the rain." ”

A voice snorted and said in a deep voice: "Ning'er, go, go in with Dad." A woman's voice snorted.

Footsteps sounded, several people walked into the broken temple, and when they saw the situation in the temple, they were all shocked, stopped, and stared at the river fish. Then the others followed and poured into the temple.

The river fish sat on the fire, with his back to those people, neither looking back nor speaking.

Those people glanced at each other, and in their hearts were shocked, one of them pressed the handle of the knife, strode forward, stared at the river fish, and shouted: "Hey, who are you?"

Jiang Yu slowly turned his head and saw those people, his body shook a little, he seemed to be startled, and hurriedly stood up all of a sudden, his eyes dodged, and he trembled: "I am passing by, I came here to take shelter from the rain and bake the fire to keep warm, who are you?"

The general looked the river fish up and down, his eyes scanned around again, and he made sure that there was no one else in the temple, and there was nothing unusual, he stared at the river fish and shouted: "Boy, go out, the military master here has requisitioned!"

Jiang Yu stammered: "Master Jun, where are you letting me go, it's raining so hard outside, besides, there is another one who comes first and then comes?"

The general said angrily: "Bastard, where is so much nonsense, get out, otherwise don't blame General Ben for being ruthless!"

Jiang Yu's body trembled, lowered his head, hesitated, and walked out with a trembling rope. He is already planning to leave, this place does not want to stay, now like this, there are many people on the other side, and they are soldiers, they can't let them go out and make room for themselves, this is impossible, if so, it is bound to do it, but he doesn't want to do it with them, so it's better to forget it, why bother to see them in general, in vain trouble, it's not interesting.

Those people dodged the way, Jiang Yu walked to the door to lead the horse, and suddenly heard a rumbling thunder outside, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and a bright light flashed, illuminating the entire sky. Then there was a rumbling thunder and thrilling, and the rain became even heavier.

The river fish didn't seem to care, untied the horse's reins, and led the horse to prepare to go out.

At this moment, only one voice said in a deep voice: "Slow!"

Jiang Yu stopped, looked back, and saw that it was a forty or fifty-year-old general who spoke.

The general looked at Jiang Yu and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, this young man, there is thunder and lightning outside, and the rain is so heavy, don't go, just go to the corner over there and stay, just don't talk nonsense." Also, keep your horse on a leash outside and make room. ”

Jiang Yu hesitated, and the general nodded to a person beside him, who understood, strode over, snatched the reins of the horse from Jiang Yu's hand, led the horse out, and returned in a moment.

Jiang Yu let him lead the horse out, walked to the corner with his head down, sat down silently, leaned against the corner, closed his eyes and rested.

The general and a group of officers and soldiers sat around the fire, and when there was not enough firewood, one of the soldiers went and dismantled the offering table, split it with a knife, and used it as firewood.

The general sat silently by the fire, muttering to himself.

A partial general whispered: "Dashuai, you are hungry, the last general has dry food and wine, do you want to eat and drink?"

The general shook his head, and a woman's voice said, "Father, you can eat some, and your daughter will eat with you." ”

Jiang Yu listened to it in his ears, and was surprised in his heart, these people in front of him were all soldiers, and he didn't see a woman just now, so he secretly opened his eyes and looked, only to see that the person who spoke was wearing an armor uniform, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and the fire shone on her face, which looked very bright and beautiful.

Jiang Yu knew that she was dressed as a woman, which was not unusual, so she closed her eyes and dozed off.

The general shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Ning'er, you and everyone eat, Dad is not hungry and doesn't want to eat." ”

The woman whispered: "Father, this time I came to Beijing to face the saint, debriefing on your work and adjusting your defense, you have been sullen, what is going on?"

The general did not speak, but sighed.

A partial general said angrily: "The emperor and the court have never trusted the marshal, and they have always guarded us, and this time the marshal has been transferred from the prosperous and rich land in the southeast to the remote and barren land in the northwest, how can the marshal be happy?"

Another person said angrily: "That is, the emperor and the court spend their minds on their own people all day long, intrigue, deceit, and chill the hearts of the soldiers, how can they win the battle?"
