Chapter 46: Five Scattered People Gather
Shang Youwei and Tong Yinli fought with Zongzheng that day, and then rushed back to Zongjian Palace non-stop, and when they returned to Zongjian Palace, they hurriedly walked to the inner hall.
When Lu Zhizhang saw the two coming back, he greeted them, and instructed his disciples to call Li Qingxin and Zhang Ziyong.
"The two junior brothers are finally back, can you inquire about the current military situation?"
"We went to Taizhou first, and then rushed to Ezhou," Tong Yin reported.
Lu Zhizhang felt that the two of them rushed back, so he hurriedly asked, as if something was wrong, so he interrupted without waiting for Tong Yinli to continue,
"Two junior brothers, let's sit down and have a sip of tea first. ”
At this time, Li Qingxin and Zhang Ziyong walked into the inner hall together, and Lu Zhizhang said happily when he saw the two coming in,
"The two juniors came just in time, Yin Li and Youwei just came back from inquiring about the military situation, let's listen to the current situation together. ”
Li Qingxin and Zhang Ziyong stepped forward, Li Qingxin said to Tong Yinli monk Youwei: "The two senior brothers have worked hard," and then brought tea to the two of them one by one, and continued: "The two senior brothers sit down and drink tea first." Then they sat down one by one.
Lu Zhizhang withdrew his sword boys, and the three sword boys left the inner hall, and the hall became quiet.
Tong Yinli took a sip of tea and said: "We have found out a lot of military information this time, of course, some things have happened on the road, let me tell you about the military situation in Taizhou first." ”
Lu Zhizhang saw that Tong Yinli was a little anxious, so he said to Tong Yinli: "Senior brother, come slowly, don't be in a hurry. ”
Tong Yinli slowed down his speech slightly, and he continued: "As soon as we arrived in Taizhou, we heard that Meng Ge was attacking the city all the way, and he was besieging Diaoyu City. So we stayed there and continued to investigate, at first the Mongol army concentrated its forces to attack the west gate of the town, and then turned to attack the four gates, the war was very fierce, but General Wang finally repelled them. ”
Li Qingxin said happily: "Okay, it is worthy of General Wang, I met General Wang in my early years, and I know that General Wang is a famous general who defends the city." ”
Shang Youwei saw Li Qingxin's face happy, so he interjected: "Senior brother, don't be too happy, later, General Wang was attacked by the thief army, was injured by a shocking crossbow, and was hit by two arrows in his body, and his life hung by a thread." ”
Li Qingxin couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and Lu Zhizhang asked with concern, "What happened to General Wang?"
Tong Yin immediately saw that Shang Youwei inserted a sentence that caused the senior brother in charge to worry, so he immediately said: "Later, I heard that a young young man used his deep internal strength to heal General Wang's injuries and pulled General Wang back from the Ghost Gate. ”
Lu Zhizhang was surprised: "Oh, young young man, do you know what his name is?"
Shang Youwei immediately answered: "It's called Meiyong." ”
Zhang Ziyong, who had always been silent, couldn't help but blame Shang Youwei and said, "Senior brother, how can you scold this young man like this?"
Shang Youwei hurriedly explained: "Senior brother, I didn't scold this young man, it's just that his real surname is Mei, and the plum blossom is useless." ”
Zhang Ziyong suddenly realized: "I see, this young man's name is quite strange, I'm afraid it's not his real name." ”
Tong Yinli continued: "This young man not only saved General Wang's life, but also came up with a plan to burn the grain and grass of the Mongolian army without a single soldier. ”
Lu Zhizhang, Zhang Ziyong and Li Qingxin couldn't help but be surprised.
Lu Zhizhang said: "This burned the Mongolian army's grain and grass without a single soldier, I have to say, Mei Shaoxia is indeed very wise, I am very curious about what strategy this Mei Shaoxia used?" Lu Zhizhang stroked his long beard and asked,
Li Qingxin also echoed: "Yes, senior brother, I'm also curious. ”
Shang Youwei said with a pleasant expression: "This Diaoyu City has spread, how can the ballad come about, senior brother?"
Tong Yin immediately recited: "A thousand lights rise, the voice of the people." A thousand lights fall, and the people are happy. Mei used seven tricks to burn grain and goods, killing Meng Ge trembling. ”
Li Qingxin was very dazed after hearing this, stared at Tong Yinli and asked, "I don't understand, I'm tired of Senior Brother Tong explaining and explaining." ”
Tong Yin was not a traitor, so he explained: "That Mei Shaoxia had thousands of specially designed Kong Ming lanterns lit, and those Kong Ming lanterns blew along the direction of the wind towards the Mongolian military camp, and they all fell, and then they burned their entire military camp, and General Zhang took advantage of the situation to kill Meng Ge's camp, killing Meng Ge's heart trembling. ”
Li Qingxin seemed to have doubts, so he asked, "What do the seven plans mean?"
Tong Yin immediately threw a look at Shang Youwei and motioned for him to explain,
Shang Youwei explained: "That is to say, this Mei Shaoxia used seven of the thirty-six strategies before and after, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, attacking the east and the west, drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, transferring the tiger from the mountain, taking advantage of the fire to rob, and going for the upper and serial schemes." ”
Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked Shang Youwei again: "Is this person really so powerful?"
Shang Youwei replied with a firm gaze: "That's still false." ”
Lu Zhizhang was concerned about the safety of Diaoyu City, and when he heard what Tong Yinli monk Youwei said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has this talent, and Diaoyu City is worry-free." ”
Shang Youwei said to Lu Zhizhang again: "Senior brother in charge, don't be happy, Diaoyu City is still in crisis, then Mei Shaoxia left on the night when the Mongolian army's grain and grass were burned, and then Meng Ge continued to storm Diaoyu City after getting new grain and grass." ”
Lu Zhizhang's expression suddenly became gloomy with joy, and he couldn't help sighing: "Hey, why do you have to leave again?" Feeling that this matter was helpless, he asked about the situation in Ezhou again.
Shang Youwei picked up the tea and said: "Kublai Khan is leading the army to storm Ezhou, Jia Rudao is deploying defense to resist the enemy, I heard that the emperor has once again strengthened the city defense of Ezhou. ”
Lu Zhizhang accidentally saw a piece of black on Shang Youwei's hand and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong with your hand?"
Shang Youwei immediately remembered what had happened recently, and said, "Senior Brother in charge, we are about to report this matter to you. Then he put down the teacup and continued,
"That's the case, senior brother in charge, we met a sad monk and a young man on the way to Ezhou to inquire about the military situation, originally my junior brother and I had been injured and sad, but we were rescued by this young man, today, we accidentally met that young man on the way back, so we wanted to ask him where the sorrow was?
Zhang Ziyong asked, "Who knows what?"
Tong Yinli continued: "This young man is very good at kung fu, and his internal strength is also quite profound. ”
Shang Youwei saw that Tong Yin immediately missed a martial art, so he added: "In the end, he also used a set of swordsmanship, at first, my senior brother and I obviously had an advantage, but the more we got later, the more we were at a disadvantage, and finally he knocked down the double sword." ”
Li Qingxin couldn't help but be surprised: "The swordsmanship of our sect's sword sect can be said to be unparalleled in the world, and the two senior brothers were also defeated in his hands, I don't know what kind of swordsmanship he used?"
Shang Youwei replied: "This person said that it was a 'nameless sword'. ”
Lu Zhizhang stroked his beard and said, "Do the two junior brothers remember his moves?"
Shang Youwei recalled for a while, and then replied: "I only remember a few tricks, so I'll show you a drill." With that, he drew his sword and made a few moves.
Lu Zhizhang was shocked after seeing it: "Eighteen styles of breaking the sword." Suddenly, his face was gloomy, as if he thought of some old things.
Shang Youwei hurriedly asked, "What is the eighteenth style of breaking the sword?"
The rest of the people were secretly curious, and they also looked at Lu Zhizhang, expecting his explanation.
Lu Zhizhang explained: "When the master left suddenly, before leaving, he demonstrated it in front of me and your second senior brother, so this set of swordsmanship is only me and your second senior brother, we never mentioned it in front of you, that is because the master is leaving, and you can't use this sword style until you have to, I don't know the reason, just now junior brother, you practiced a few moves, I know, that is the master demonstrated the 18th style of breaking the sword." ”
Shang Youwei asked, "Does this young man have anything to do with Master?"
Lu Zhizhang didn't answer, but just asked Shang Youwei: "How old is that young man?"
Shang Youwei replied: "It's seventeen or eighteen." ”
Lu Zhizhang said to the junior disciples: "When the master was seriously injured, he told me that he would not live for ten years, and after thirty years, this young man naturally has nothing to do with the master. I'm afraid, I'm just afraid" Lu Zhizhang suddenly stopped,
Tong Yin immediately asked, "What are you afraid of, senior brother in charge?"
Lu Zhizhang continued: "I'm afraid, what does that young man have to do with your second senior brother's disappearance. ”
As soon as Lu Zhizhang mentioned something, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "I'm afraid, this matter is not so simple." ”
When Lu Zhizhang heard this, he knew that Shang Youwei must have noticed something, so he asked, "Senior brother, what do you think?"
Shang Youwei stood up and said, "Senior brothers, can you still remember that a year ago, there was a case in the martial arts that killed a disciple of his own sect with his own martial arts. ”
Tong Yinli responded: "Of course I know, this incident has caused our various sects to be reborn from now on, and they are no longer as harmonious as before. ”
Shang Youwei continued: "This young man is young, but he knows the martial arts of the Shaolin Sect, the Vientiane Sect and our Sect Sword Sect, and his skills are not weak, I now believe the words of the Sorrowful Master. ”
Lu Zhizhang seemed to understand what Shang Youwei meant, and asked, "Senior brother, do you mean that someone is deliberately making trouble behind his back and deliberately provoking a struggle between our sects?"
Shang Youwei looked at Lu Zhizhang and responded: "I think, behind this there must be the Mongols manipulating everything, do you think, if our sects fight with each other, who will benefit the most?"
Lu Zhizhang came to his senses and said: "Senior brother's words reminded me. ”
Zhang Ziyong was puzzled by the death of his junior brother, so he asked,
"However, the death of our junior brother is conclusive!Senior Brother Shang, how do you explain this?"
Shang Youwei replied in a somewhat dull tone: "Actually, I have always believed that Senior Brother Bu was killed by Sorrow, but this time I encountered Sorrow, and then I met that young man, I now feel more and more that Sorrow is really not the murderer of Senior Brother Bu." ”
Shang Youwei walked up to Tong Yinli and said, "Senior Brother Tong, do you remember what is so special about Sad Hands?"
