There are too many treasures, and they can't be moved in a short time, so the three of them can only choose some easy-to-carry and valuable items and take them with them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They returned the way they came, and quickly pierced through the crack in the stone, and not only blocked the gap with stones, but also pulled over many vines, covering them tightly, and only drew a simple pattern on the boulder not far away, so that it could be easily found in the future.

At this time, the sky was already overcast, and they didn't want to delay any longer, so they hurriedly set out on the way home, and on the way, they also met Suo Chao who was searching everywhere with soldiers and horses.

Back in Daming County, Yan Qing returned to Lu Mansion first, while Zhao Bufan and Zheyuezhi were taken by Suo Chao to the Left-behind Division, and Liang Zhongshu heard that Zheyuezhi was back and greeted him personally.

Zhao Bufan didn't want to have more contact with Liang Zhongshu, he just wanted to quietly mix it up, but he didn't think that it had only been two days, Liang Zhongshu's attitude suddenly changed, and after being polite with Zheyuezhi, he even took the initiative to look at him, full of appreciation.

"Zhao Bufan, you are really extraordinary, I just heard yesterday that you led 700 soldiers in Bazhou to defend most of the month, this is not easy, how rude it was a few days ago!"

Even if Zhao Bufan was unwilling, the other party was in a high position after all, so he could only politely bow his hand and say: "Lord Zhongshu is polite, that's a matter of humble duty!"

"Modest! too modest!!" Liang Zhongshu smiled, and his demeanor was very close, as if he had known each other for many years. "Zhao Bufan, in the future, I will serve well at the border pass, Cai Xiang heard about your deeds in Beijing, and he greatly appreciated it, and personally recommended it to His Majesty. Now the Privy Council has issued an official document to promote you to deputy commander, and it is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Li Miao, the governor of Bazhou!"

As he spoke, Liang Zhongshu paused, stared deeply into his eyes and said: "Deputy Commander Zhao can be appreciated by Cai Xiang, it is really commendable, I hope that Deputy Commander Zhao can make persistent efforts in the future, Cai Xiang also specially ordered his righteous daughter to send a handwritten letter, I have already called someone to call her, come soon!"

Zhiyuezhi next to him was very happy, but Zhao Bufan had a serious face and was inexplicably panicked.

Who is Cai Xiang?

That is Cai Jing, who served as the "Pingzhang Shi of the Tongzhongshu Men", this dispatch is actually the prime minister, and the official office in charge is the "Zhongshu Menxia", and the three provinces and six ministries are under its jurisdiction, and it is called the second government together with the "Privy Council", and the "Zhongshu Menxia" is in charge of the government, and the "Privy Council" is in charge of the army.

Zhao Bufan understood in his heart that Liang Zhongshu's words implied a deep meaning, which was obviously saying that this deputy commander was given by Cai Jing!

His heart was a little flustered, and more caught off guard and confused.

"Why did Cai Jing notice me? I wasn't even a head, why did he care? Is it because of the Bazhou defensive battle? This is impossible, in their hearts, the Bazhou defensive battle is just a small victory, and it is not worth remembering at all, why did they win me over? How should I deal with it now?"

Just when he was secretly speculating in his heart, a beautiful girl Shi Shiran walked over, slightly applying light makeup, fresh and simple, although she did not wear any jewelry, it was difficult to hide her exquisite face, but her temperament was a little unsociable, exuding a cold coldness!

With a letter in her hand, she walked straight to Zhao Bufan, who was bowing her head and contemplating, and said coldly: "Zhao Bufan, this is Cai Xiang's handwritten letter to you, he hopes that you can reply as soon as possible, and he also asked me to tell you, he admires you very much!"

"Well, I will reply to Cai ...... as soon as possible" Zhao Bufan raised his head to answer the letter, suddenly stunned, and couldn't even finish his words.

After a while, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "It's you!!"

"Do you know Xue Ling?" Liang Zhongshu was surprised and looked at him in surprise.

How could Zhao Bufan not be surprised, the girl in front of him was exactly the same as the girl who killed Lu Man, that night he designed to ambush and kill the Khitan Jingqi at the gate of Bazhou City, and he also looked at this woman from afar, where would he not remember. Although the girl in front of her was dressed differently, she didn't wear earrings, bracelets and anklets, but her appearance was really the same.

This made his heart set off a storm: it can't be wrong, this is definitely that girl with strong martial arts, first sneaked into the military camp to kill Lu Man, and then escaped from the city to collude with the Liao army and leak my deployment, although the dress is completely different now, but that look, there will definitely be no mistake! But she is Cai Jing's righteous daughter, so isn't it possible that Cai Jing is colluding with the Liao State and intentionally letting the Liao people enter the Song Realm?

There is also the man in black who chased and killed me, they are the culprits who killed my master, but they know that someone colluded with Liao, which means that the mastermind behind the scenes and the person who colluded with Liaoguo may be the same, even if it is not the same, then it must be related, so it seems that Cai Jing is likely to be the culprit of collusion with Liao, and he is also the biggest suspect in killing my master!

But why did Xue Ling come over to deliver the letter, and why did she still woo me?

Xue Ling has obviously seen me, even if she pretends not to know me, but when she meets me like this, isn't it intentionally exposed, this is unreasonable?

Too many doubts flashed in Zhao Bufan's mind, and Liang Zhongshu next to him looked at him in surprise and asked, "Deputy Commander Zhao, have you seen Xue Ling?"

Almost without any hesitation, Zhao Bufan shook his head directly: "No, I haven't seen it, she looks a lot like a friend of mine, and she almost confessed her mistake just now!"

Now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, he can't conclude whether Cai Jing communicated with Liaoguo, so he doesn't dare to say anything at all, and he doesn't dare to admit anything.

But he didn't expect that Xue Ling would take over the words indifferently: "Yes, you also look like a friend of mine, it seems that we are very fateful!"

Suddenly, Zhao Bufan understood that Xue Ling in front of him was the girl, this was a naked provocation to himself, but he didn't understand why Xue Ling was doing this.

Liang Zhongshu saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, and interjected with a smile at the moment: "It's good to have fate, it's good to have fate, you are all young, and you will be closer in the future, this is also what Cai Xiang wants to see!"

Hearing this, Zhao Bufan didn't smile, stared at Xue Ling and said, "I like confident women, you surprise me!"

"I also like smart men, you are also very good, I am looking forward to your future performance!" Xue Ling's face was still indifferent.

The two looked harmonious and admired each other, but Zhiyuezhi and Liang Zhongshu next to them always felt a little strange, and soon interjected one after another and diverted them. Zhao Bufan didn't have the heart to say more, and always looked at Xue Ling casually, and he felt more and more that this woman was very dangerous.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Bufan and Zheyuezhi said goodbye to Lu Junyi and Yan Qing and rushed to the city to exchange the Suochao. Before leaving, Lu Junyi also gave them two iron guns that had been prepared a long time ago. Since he knew that their weapons were damaged, Lu Junyi went to the best blacksmith in Daimyo County to hurry up and specially created this pair of iron guns for them.

Half a month later, Suo Chao led his troops to Wen'an County, Bazhou, but he didn't expect that the Zhijia army was also stationed here, and the front was already slowly evacuating to the west.

Zhao Bufan and Zhe Yuezhi didn't know the situation, and hurriedly ran to the main account of the Chinese army, just when they ran into Zhi Yanzhi packing up.

"Big brother, how could the Zhejia army withdraw? The Khitans were defeated?" As soon as he walked into the camp, Zhi Yuezhi couldn't wait to pull Zhi Yan and ask.

Zhi Yanzhi looked at her and shook his head gloomily: "The Khitans still occupy most of the Xin'an army, but the war is over!"

"The war is over, why? The Khitans have not retreated, why are we withdrawing our troops?" asked Zhi Yuezhi with a glare.

Zhi Yan sighed and slowly sat down on the handsome chair, his face full of helplessness. "Seven days ago, the Song and Liao countries have completed peace talks, and agreed not to invade, and the Liao State will no longer coerce our Great Song to double the surrender of the offerings, but the Xin'an Army will temporarily lend it to them, Your Majesty has approved it, and our Folded Army will also return to their own station!"

When Zhao Bufan heard this, his emotions instantly became excited: "General Zhe, the Liao State occupies the Xin'an Army, which is equivalent to opening a gate in our northern Xinjiang, and we can grab it at any time and attack it whenever we want, this plot is obvious, why should we retreat?

Zhi Yanzhi shook his head: "It's not that no one objected, Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Privy Council, was against it, since he broke through the Western Xia, he was complacent, and he had long wanted to march into the Liao State and recapture the sixteen states of Youyun occupied by the Khitans, but the vast majority of people in the court did not want to fight." Those ministers were used to being comfortable and didn't want to take risks, so they would negotiate peace, and they also counted on the defeat of Liao and Dajin, and the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. ”

"Dajin? What is that? We've only been gone for more than two months, why did another Dajin come out?" said Zhiqi Zhiqi.

Zhi Yan was a little worried, and replied with a sigh: "I thought that this war would last for more than half a year, so I asked you to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to ask for money, food, and armor, so as to be prepared, but I really didn't expect the situation to change so quickly." Dajin is the Jurchen, you just went south, and news came from the north, Wanyan Aguta officially announced the founding of the country, the founding of the country called Jin, and it didn't take a few days to break through the Huanglong Mansion of Liao, Liao's emperor Yelu Yanxi personally led an army of more than 100,000 to conquer, but was defeated by Wanyan Aguta led 20,000 Jin soldiers. If we can deliver the money, food, and armor earlier, and take advantage of the strong march at that time, we will definitely be able to defeat the disheartened Liao army. ”

Hearing this, Zhi Yuezhi was a little remorseful. "Big brother, we didn't mean to delay time, a lot of things have happened!"

Zhi Yanzhi smiled and patted her shoulder: "I don't blame you, Liang Zhongshu sent me a letter, I know that you have encountered many dangers in the south, so you have delayed the time, this is not to blame you, besides, even if you don't have those things, it will also take two months for the money, food, and armor to be delivered, which is all in my expectation." ”

"Why?" Orizuki asked.

The smile on Zhi Yanzhi's face gradually put away, and he sneered: "What kind of person do you think Liang Zhongshu is? If he can take out the existing money, food, and armor, it will be a strange thing, what kind of materials will he take a month? This is to coax the two of you, he and I both know that his batch of grain and grass is temporarily harvested from the people, so even if you don't delay, it won't save much time, as for the reserves that the Daimyo Mansion should have hoarded, I'm afraid they have already been carved up by them!"

Zhi Yuezhi was dumbfounded when she heard this, gritted her silver teeth and scolded: "Liang Zhongshu is already in a high position, and the good fields and beautiful houses under his name are even more innumerable, and the court gives him a lot of money every year, why is he still not satisfied, he really wants the court to play him!"

"Little sister, our Linfu Zhe family is a soldier, with the responsibility of resisting the enemy and defending the country, and not getting involved in politics, this is the ancestral training, otherwise it will suffer from it, the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion was a lesson from the past!" Zhe Yan's face was very calm, but Zhao Bufan could hear that there was a thick unwillingness and suppressed indignation in his voice.
