Next Chapter

The winter night in Lin'an is no different from the past, the yin wind roars angrily and rolls up thousands of dead leaves, Xiao Xiao's voice stirs in the forest, the dark clouds cover the bright moon, and the Qiantang River waves are monstrous. In the Southern Song Dynasty, where there was no curfew, the market was lively, and the prosperity of Sanwu City was more beautiful than that of the old capital Bianliang, but under this scenery, it was full of sadness on the faces of pedestrians.

"Mother, sugar gourd, I want to eat!" a child with a total horn.

"Today, don't eat today" A woman, dressed in a light red jacket and carrying a white flower hairpin, couldn't help but cry.

"Mother, tomorrow, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, why are you crying. ”

The woman didn't say a word, and her eyes followed the Liuhe tower that appeared faintly in the distance of Zhu Hu's painting beam.

The lights gradually dimmed, the dark clouds flashed suddenly, the sound of thunderclaps, shook the crows in the secluded forest under the tower, the cold rain poured in, on the long road full of mud, only the stiffness of the friction of the armor of countless sergeants could be seen, and the only thing that could be seen was the countless sharpened spear tips in their hands.

The footsteps of one of the sergeants seem to be different, so slow and steady, but every step is loud; but seeing the firelight, two rows of Song sergeants holding torches, a bluestone road in the middle, stretching to a cangting, in the hall stood coldly, wearing an official hat and a long head, wearing a public uniform and shirt, his body was like a withered tree, and his face was as blue as a disease.

Seeing a group of sergeants escorting this prisoner and walking from the bluestone road, these sergeants looked sad and angry, as if they were choked, only to see that although the prisoner was covered with scars and soaked in blood, his posture was majestic and his face was radiant.

"Don't tighten the iron rope yet!" said the official.

"Xiangye! Father-in-law, although he was pierced with a pipa bone, if he wanted to escape with his ability, he would have fled long ago!" said the escorted officer.

But when he saw that the prisoner was covered with iron ropes, his eyes were like bright stars, and he said brightly: "Tight, tight, he knows that I am a tiger, how can there be any reason to bind the tiger?"

"That's it! press the prisoner Yue Fei up!" The Xiangguo gave an order, and the sergeants reluctantly escorted the prisoner into the pavilion.

"Hehe, Yue Fei, Yue Fei, this is the poisonous wine that the Holy Lord has prepared for you. You have committed a serious crime, and you can save the corpse thanks to the help of someone from me, Qin. "That Xiangguo ordered someone to bring up a jar of celadon wine.

That prisoner is the generation of war gods who defended the country and recovered the lost land, Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, the commander of the 100,000 Yue family army. Yue Fei said lightly: "Thank you Qin Xiangguo for this!"

"You were punished today, do you have anything to say?" Qin Hui said, filling a glass of wine.

The torrential rain outside the pavilion was pouring down, the cold wind was howling, blowing the wine pattern of that glass, Yue Fei picked up the wine glass and drank it all and looked down on Qin Hui and said: "Qin Xiangguo, dare to ask Yue Fei what is the crime?"

"General Yue is still a smart man, you support the army and respect yourself, don't you?" Qin Hui called a person, and filled a few jade cups one by one.

"Qin Xiangguo is also a smart person, since he asked me Yue Fei, I will talk to you!" Yue Fei picked up the poisonous wine glass, and then drank it all and said: "I joined the army at the age of twenty, and in the past twenty years, I have won hundreds of battles of all sizes! "It is strictly forbidden to administer the army, and there is no offense against the people, and the second crime is also! Honesty and fairness, the family is surrounded by four walls, and the third crime is also! Not to deal with the powerful, not to pay bribes, the fourth crime is also! To be the first soldier, to act like a mirror, the fifth crime is also! To be loyal to the king and love the people, and to keep the community in mind! The sixth crime is also! The seventh crime is to regain the lost territory and repeatedly break the Hulu! The eighth crime is to protect the territory and the people, and to guard the mountains and rivers! To serve the country with loyalty, and to support the community, there are nine crimes! Hahaha, Qin Hui, Qin Hui, these nine major crimes fall on me Yue Fei, and it is enough for me to slaughter the whole door!" Every time Yue Fei said a word about his crimes, he drank a glass of poisonous wine. The poisonous wine had already been drunk, and Yue Fei was already majestic, and his face did not change. And the sergeants outside the pavilion all burst into tears, and although the tears were not seen with the heavy rain, the crying had already overshadowed the sound of the rain.

The rain also quietly stopped, but in exchange for a colder long wind, like a large snowflake, the soldiers looked at Yue Fei's gradually trembling body, the cold was not only the body, but also their enthusiasm in exchange for the bloody battlefield. That night, they only remembered the uneasiness on Qin Hui's face, and the four words that Yue Fei repeatedly muttered before he died———— every day was clear.

Yue Fei's body did not fall for a long time, his eyes were also open, staring at the bright moon emerging behind the dark clouds, snowflakes fell all over Yue Fei's body, this man who was for the country and the people, and was in the sand finally fell under the storm pavilion, the bright moon shone on the snow, his body no one dared to approach, and the next day was Chinese New Year's Eve.

The first soldiers each held swords, taking advantage of the snowy night to ignore the slippery road, chasing a man on the bustling streets of Lin'an Mansion. The man who was being chased was blocked on both sides by thousands of Song soldiers, this man was seven feet long, as strong as a tiger, covered in scars, with an infant child tied to his arms, and a bloodied spear in his hand.

"Yue's rebel thief! Don't run away again! I will wait for Prime Minister Qin's order to hand over the traitor's young son, but I can take your life!"

"Come on! Qin Hui traitor! Hurt my Marshal Yue, and come to harm my Yue's family! Today, my Yue Hai is here, and you can't wait to hurt my little master an inch!" The man held a spear, killed the army, stabbed a person to death with a loud shout, turned around and picked it again, and saw the red tassels under the lights, and killed the generals at the end of the bridge with a spear, and was not allowed to get close! Although Yue Hai was not as brave as the famous generals of the Yue family, although Yue Fei fought for a long time, he was quite true and had clever marksmanship, and ordinary officers and soldiers could not stop him, and he fought a bloody road and was running outside the city. But seeing the dark arrow running behind him, penetrating the left leg, he couldn't help screaming, pulled out the arrow, suddenly felt numb under his feet, it was difficult to walk, he was sad and angry in his heart, and dragged his leg to continue to fight, only to see seven or eight spears stabbing around the baby, he dodged the front three spears, the tip of the spear was sharp and stabbed over a person, the spear pulled and provoked a person's calf, knocked over to the ground, Yue Hai didn't pay attention to the sudden feeling of severe pain in the shoulder, a shot in the back, fortunately the muscles and bones were strong, there was no major event but saw the blood flowing out and dripping on the snow, he knew that he couldn't fight, and walked away with the baby in his arms, he hugged the baby and said: "Little master, don't panic, your mother and brother have already left the city, and it will be fine for me to take you to find them. ”

The child in his arms looked calm, did not cry or make trouble, and the pursuers stepped forward, and the man had light skills, although he was injured but covered in the night, he threw off the pursuers, but when he came to the city gate, he saw that the city gate was closed and could not go out of the city, so he hid everywhere. The snow blurred the figure of the person suddenly saw the river, woke up a light boat, there were three people on the boat, a boatman, an attendant, a nobleman enjoying the snow, the nobleman was in his thirties, wearing a silk and brocade round-necked robe often worn by the rich, wearing a black head, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyebrows were clear, and he had three strands of beard. The official saw that Lin'an Mansion was full of flowers, singing and dancing and was happy in his heart, as shown in the picture, this piece of great delicacy was handled by him, he and his entourage got off the boat and landed, enjoyed the scenery to a painted bridge and willows, looked up at the bright moon and sighed and said to the entourage: "What a good mountain and river, it's a pity that what I did today will eventually be spurned by future generations." ”

"Your Majesty, the sages have also had it, let alone the people?"

The official wept and asked: "Zha Yiqing! You have always dared to speak, I ask you: Zhao Zhisong, how is it better than Liu Song?"

The entourage said: "It's better to do it, the father and son of the slave still know about the Northern Expedition." ”

The official asked again: "What about Tan Dao Ji Bi Yue Fei?"

The entourage said: "Tan Daoji, father and son, eleven people were killed, although Yue Fei is dead, but the heir is still alive, I hope Your Majesty will be gracious." ”

"Liu Yilong killed Tan Daoji's father and son, and was finally killed by his own son, although I have no children under my knees, but I can't bear to damage this yin virtue, and I will pass on the order to treat the Yue family well. ”

The entourage said: "The minister thanked Your Majesty for the Yue family" and bowed for a long time.

This official is the emperor of the dynasty, Zhao Gou, he knew that it was hopeless to kill Zhongliang by mistake and restore the country, and he could not escape the historian's stroke, so he traveled in the snow, intending to relax his mind, who wanted to see the snow heavy, the crescent moon and the bright sky, as if there were thousands of bitter words that could not be told, and aroused sorrow, and felt guilty about Yue Fei; he relied on his own selfishness, self-destruction of the Great Wall, and killed loyal ministers in vain, and he was the burden of the society, and the burden of the people, so he moved his compassion.

There was a sudden change under the bridge, the entourage hurriedly guarded, went to check, just saw Yue Hai with Yue Fei's orphan hiding under the bridge, although Zhao Gou is a thief, but not weak, but with amazing martial arts, he was in the gold camp in the early years, there is a treasure bow in the Jin army no one can open, only Zhao Gou can open this bow, and open the bow with arrows, the arrow is not missing, so that the Jin people are shocked; , with a few arrows in his body, it is already the end of the strong crossbow. Yue Hai knelt on the ground with the baby in his arms and burst into tears: "Yue Hai, the daring soldier of the Yue family, greets the emperor! Your Majesty, please let Marshal Yue's family go!" After speaking, his head slammed to the ground, and the blood gushed out so scary, the emperor was shocked, felt his loyalty, and stepped forward to help him up regardless of the blood stain and hurriedly said: "Aiqing, don't worry, why did I order the Yue family to be full of doors?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know, when the marshal didn't leave, Qin Hui's traitor sent a family to kill people in Yue's house! The woman Li and the rest of the sons were scattered by the rebels, and the two young ladies had already died in the chaos, only I escaped with the little master in my arms."

The emperor "is there such a thing!!Is this world my Zhao family or their Qin family!!I still haven't given an order, so you Qin Hui, but you come to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!", at this time, the street market was noisy, and thousands of torches were chasing after him, where did these officers recognize the emperor, so they didn't care about it, and pursued the lieutenant to: "On the order of Qin Xiangye, the old and young of the Yue family will be killed! Several people next to them must be the same party, and they will be beheaded and handed over to Qin Xiangye!"

When the emperor of Zhao Gou heard this, he was very angry, and he wanted his soldiers under the Ninth Five-Year Emperor to listen to the orders of the prime minister! His face was as pale as iron sheets, and the entourage beside him said: "Bold! Seeing that the Holy Lord is waiting here, he still dares to be presumptuous! Don't kneel down quickly!"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "Hahaha, who doesn't know that today's saint is a villain who is reluctant to steal peace, and Miao Liu's mutiny is so frightened that he can't give birth! Naturally, he has less beard! This person has a dignified appearance and intact eyebrows, how can he be our yin and yang emperor! If he is the emperor, I will be a golden vulture! I will give an order, and this emperor will run to the sea to hide!"

Zhao Gou's inability to have children is unspeakable, today it was said, he hated the golden vulture to insult him, in a blink of an eye, he was angry with golden flowers, jumped up from the riverside, and went on the road, the captain saw that he was surprised by the surprise, although Zhao Gou is a Seiko flower and bird, but the master of the inner is like a cloud, martial arts is also a generation of famous generals, if the captain knows, but see Zhao Gou use the ancestral Taizu long fist, hit the head, bang a punch to say that the captain killed, everyone exclaimed that the great strange force, dare not slacken, how to know that Zhao Gou snatched the sword and stabbed a person in the throat, and died in response, but saw the sword in Zhao Gou's hand rose like the wind, as anxious as electricity, the army could not resist, and in an instant, more than a dozen people were stabbed by Zhao Gou alone.

Yue Hai heard that Zhao Gou had martial arts, he didn't want to be so powerful, he was shocked in his heart, he saw that the emperor was besieged, how could he not care, he rushed into the battle, the battle array is known as an inch long and an inch strong, Zhao Gou's martial arts are superb, but holding a sword, not as powerful as the spear in Yue Hai's hand, Yue's gun is even more practical in the battle array, and the two of them cover and kill the enemy, and more than 200 people can help them. Zhao Gou saw that Yue Hai was more capable of fighting, the more he felt bad in his heart, he knew the combat strength of the Yue family's army, but he didn't want a mere general to be a hundred, Yue Fei was so loyal, Yue Fei's death was undoubtedly a self-cutting arm, but life and death in the battle was a momentary matter, but he saw a lieutenant secretly kill a steel spear that was piercing the heart, Zhao Gou was shocked that he would die like this, and immediately saw Yue Hai raise the baby, blocking the front with his chest, only to see the army which tube many spears and all Yue Hai on the body, blood gushing and leaning against the tree dying, people like blood, only the emperor next to him, the baby in his arms is safe and sound, he knows that his life is not long, look at the eyes of the child in his arms like water and stars, smiled and said: "Haha, little boy, it's okay, it's okay!"

The baby was wearing a jade pendant, and his name and birth date were written on the jade pendant, the third day of Yue Lang's ninth month. As if he understood everything, the child reached out and touched Yue Hai's blood-stained face, which was scarred by war.

Yue Hai said desperately: "Your Majesty, spare me, spare it, this child..."

Emperor Zhao Gou sighed suddenly, feeling extremely guilty in his heart, so he had to murmur to himself: "What a loyal and righteous man!"

But seeing the snowflakes like a mat, the entire Lin'an was submerged in the chaotic white, and the surrounding corpses were not covered by less than half a cup of tea, Lin'an is located in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter who is so big snow, it is the first time to see it, and the sound of the war horse galloping came from afar: "Yang Yizhong who dares to make a time here!!", Zhao Gou heard the general shouting, and recognized the voice and shouted: "Yang Yizhong!"

The general's posture was majestic and big, his body was as big as an ox, his sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and his five long beards looked mighty in the wind, and he galloped to the point of saying: "The last general, Yang Yizhong, will join Your Majesty!

"Forgive me, good Yang Yizhong, when will the city defense forbidden army be deployed by that Qin Hui! I almost took my life today!!"

Yang Yizhong is in charge of Lin'an Bufang as the commander of the Chinese army in front of the emperor has always been Zhao Gou's guard, he has always been brave, and his long beard flutters quickly to have the name of a beautiful beard, but Rong Ma also has the idea of stealing peace and pleasure in his later years, and seeing that Qin Hui in the DPRK is powerful, he also has a tendency to be attached to the party, and his position on Yue Fei is also ambiguous. Zhao Gou saw that he was here and stated what had happened, and Zhao Gou was tired today, so he severely reprimanded these officers and did not investigate them deeply.

He looked at Yue Hai's corpse and Yang Yizhong and said: "This child is Yue Fei's orphan, this righteous man ran here with the child in his arms, in order to save me from dying, bury him well, and raise the child in Tai Academy, if he is successful in the clerical profession in the future, he will be a pillar of the country, if he is mediocre, he should be in order to make up for the guilt of Yue Fei."

Yang Yizhong looked at the child, shook his head and sighed, he didn't say a word in the deep city, and ordered the soldiers to clean up Yue Hai's body, and the entourage picked up Xiao Yue Lang, and got on the boat with Zhao Gou and returned to the palace. Seeing this, the army also dispersed on its own, and Lin'an on the 29th of the lunar month returned to a quiet and peaceful place.

Thousands of red lights shine on the white snow of thousands of mountains, the crescent moon flickering among the dark clouds, I don't know who takes advantage of the night to blow a bamboo flute, an inexplicable sorrow with the sound of the flute, walking through the lonely mountain, West Lake, Su Causeway, White Causeway.
