Zhao Mengchuan was dead, and Xie Changyuan fled.

The huge army is equivalent to losing its command, and under the command of Jiang Cai, it is naturally unable to deal with it, and it will soon collapse completely.

After a while, Jiang Cai came here with his subordinates, and when he saw Chen Ziang standing here, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey." Who do you think I caught?" waved his hand, and the people around him immediately escorted one person, it was Xie Changyuan, who had escaped earlier.

Jiang Cai said: "I just defeated the front line, and I saw that this guy was sneaky and wanted to escape, so I captured him." It's just that what's wrong with you?

"Nothing! It's just something going on. Chen Ziang smiled reluctantly, his eyes fell on Hu Zemin's corpse again, but his heart was heavy.

Jiang Cai glanced at it and knew that there had been a tragic war in this place before, and that person estimated that it was Chen Ziang's sacrificial comrade-in-arms, so he immediately comforted: "Alas. Everyone has their own life, so don't worry about it. After all, we have more things to do, and we can't let them down, can we?"

He is a battlefield general, and he has experienced many wars since the army, and there are not a few sacrificed robes, so he naturally understands Chen Ziang's mood.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Chen Ziang regained his spirits, took out the key, and complained, "Let's get those imprisoned scholars out quickly." If you continue to let it go, you don't know what will happen. ”

"That's just as well. ”

Jiang Cai smiled, and immediately followed behind Chen Ziang and came to the place where everyone was being held.

"Who are you?"

From that door, Wen Tianxiang's voice came.

Although they were imprisoned in the car, it did not mean that they could not understand the situation outside, but just listening to the guns and the sound of fierce fighting, they knew that they had experienced a tragic war before, so they had this question.

"Lord Qiyu. I am Jiang Cai under Li Tingzhi, and I am here today on purpose to save Er and others, and not to be continued to be bullied by that Hu'er. Jiang Cai replied, and then asked people to open the door, and Wen Tianxiang, Xie Daoqing and others, who were imprisoned in the past, finally saw the light of day again.

Walking out of the carriage, Wen Tianxiang took a deep breath, stretched his body, and immediately thanked him: "It turned out to be Commander Jiang? He looked around, and asked again with concern: "By the way, what about the Empress Dowager Xie?

"It's nature. It's just that Empress Dowager Xie is too old, so she stays in the car to rest for the time being. Chen Ziang took a step forward and answered everyone's questions.

"Is that you?"

Looking Chen Ziang up and down, Wen Tianxiang was a little surprised.

When he was in Lin'an before, he had seen Chen Ziang at a glance, and he thought that this was just an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to meet again today, but he was here, and he didn't know what means he used, and he released himself.

Jiang Cai hurriedly explained: "My lord." Don't look at this person as ordinary, but the reason why I was able to lock down the convoy and show up in time to rescue you was able to succeed with this person's mediation. ”

"Is this true?"

Wen Tianxiang looked at Chen Ziang in surprise.

Chen Ziang nodded and generously admitted: "That's right, it's down." When he thought of Hu Zemin, who had died in the fierce battle before, his expression darkened, just for the sake of these people, is it really worth sacrificing those people?

"Thank you. ”

Wen Tianxiang thanked him and wanted to save himself from the siege, and the other party must have paid a considerable price: "I just don't know who Your Excellency is? Why do you want to save me?" In addition to him, including Wu Jian, Lu Shimeng and others were also released, and they looked at Chen Ziang together, with a hint of inquiry on their faces.

"Under Chen Ziang, he was ordered by the King of Jin to come here to rescue you. Fortunately, I didn't lose my life, but I succeeded after all. Chen Ziang bowed.

"Is it Xiao Feng?"

Suddenly hearing this name, Wen Tianxiang's face changed, as if he was displeased, and so did Lu Shimeng, Wu Jian and others, their faces became extremely strange, after all, they were full of hostility to the Huaxia Army before, and now they were saved by the other party, so they naturally felt a little unhappy.

Chen Ziang suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become delicate, but as soon as he thought of the task given to him by the main bus, he replied in a low voice, "That's right. And the reason why the lord asked me to come here is precisely because he hopes that you and others can join our army, so that we can eradicate the Tartars together. ”

"It can't be!"

The veto that fell categorically surprised Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang raised his eyes, looked at Wen Tianxiang with slightly narrowed eyes, and asked, "Why? You must know that the Song Dynasty has already fallen, and you are now just a prisoner, why do you want to cling to everything in the past and refuse to cooperate with us?"

"Hmph. ”

Wen Tianxiang looked impatient, and replied directly: "What is the difference between the king of Jin who rebelled against Gangchang and usurped the throne? ”

Immediately after, Lu Shimeng also replied: "That's right. And if Feier and the others had made a hindrance and seized Xiangyang, how could it have caused today's disaster?"

"Huh. ”

Chen Ziang was amused and retorted: "You are so clever that you slander us like this? If it weren't for my father-in-law's action, then Xiangyang would have fallen into the hands of the Yuan army long ago." Moreover, Luzhou, Anqing, and the cities of Lin'an, we are thousands of miles away, how can we interfere? Didn't you give them to the Yuan army one by one? If you talk about the destruction of the Song Dynasty, you are also the culprit. Seeing that he had saved such an ordinary person, he was immediately annoyed, but he felt sad for the autumn frost, spring sunflower and even the death of Hu Zemin.

Until now, it is no wonder that people who still have such ideas will lead to the fall of the Song Dynasty.

"Humph!"

Wen Tianxiang turned his head, as if he disdained to argue with Chen Ziang.

No matter how you say that the other party has saved others, if you just reprimand like this, you will seem to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and you will ruin your reputation.

Lu Shimeng was different, he showed resentment on his face, and said, "Hmph." If it weren't for the constraints of your and others, how would it be difficult for our army to come back to help? Moreover, our dynasty had just been destroyed, so we couldn't wait to go south, and it was clear that we had the intention of annexing our dynasty. In that case, why should we wait for you?"

"Not necessarily. ”

Chen Ziang retorted: "The reason why we went south was all because the Tartars plundered and poisoned the people, so they came forward. And your uncle Lu Wenhuan is now also in our army, working hard to help the community and save the people. In that case, why should you refuse, it is better to join our army like your uncle, than to be a prisoner here. How?"

"Phew. ”

It's okay not to mention Lu Wenhuan, after mentioning Lu Wenhuan, Lu Shimeng's face changed instantly, and he scolded directly: "My uncle is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I didn't expect him to defect to the enemy and give up the huge Xiangyang to others." In doing so, he is not afraid of ruining the doorway. I would love to eat such a despicable person raw. ”

Seeing that Lu Shimeng looked like he was choosing someone to devour, Jiang Cai hurriedly stood among the two and persuaded, "Lord Lu." No matter how much the other party once saved us, it would be inappropriate to insult us like this. ”

"Humph!"

Lu Shimeng snorted lightly, and ignored it like Wen Tianxiang.

"Utterly ignorant. ”

Chen Ziang saw that the ministers were looking at him with hostile eyes, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

He didn't want to continue arguing, just looked at everyone coldly, and made no secret of his hostility.

For such a group of Song Dynasty relics, he did not have a good impression.

"Ministers, don't get excited. Anyway, he once stood up and rescued our benefactor, and if he reprimanded him like this, wouldn't he have lost the courtesy of hospitality. ”

At this moment, Xie Daoqing, supported by the maid, slowly walked in front of everyone.

Seeing Xie Daoqing appear, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Shimeng and others bent down one after another and bowed: "I'll wait to meet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager Wan'an." ”

"Wan'an?

Chen Ziang straightened his waist and watched the ministers bow down at the feet of the Queen Mother, only to feel extremely ridiculous. It's just that his behavior is too obvious, and naturally it has aroused the hostility of countless people. But Xie Daoqing didn't care, she looked at Chen Ziang with a smile instead, and asked, "You, are you really sent by Xiao Feng?"

"It's nature!"

Chen Ziang replied: "And my lord said that if the Queen Mother is willing, she can let you settle in Chang'an, which is better than being displaced here, isn't it?"

"Settle in Chang'an?"

Hearing this, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Shimeng were furious, and scolded directly: "You guy, you really don't have good intentions, and you want to hold the Queen Mother hostage?"

Chen Ziang ignored it, just stared at Xie Daoqing and asked, "I just don't know if the Queen Mother is willing?"

"Do you want to settle in Chang'an?"

Xie Daoqing's eyes wandered, revealing a little nostalgia.

Wen Tianxiang saw Xie Daoqing's face moved, and hurriedly said, "Queen Mother." If you settle in Chang'an, you will definitely be coerced by that Xiao Feng, and then our dynasty will really be completely gone. ”

"Song Dynasty?" Xie Daoqing smiled bitterly, and said, "When Lin'an was attacked, wasn't my dynasty already destroyed?" Seeing these ministers in front of her, she didn't know whether she should be hostile or loved.

hostility, naturally, is because the Song Dynasty collapsed because of these ministers.

Love, naturally, because he has fallen into such a situation, and he has not been abandoned by these ministers.

The two emotions clashed with each other in his mind, making Xie Daoqing feel tired, and complained: "At this time, I am just an old man over sixty years old. In that case, why don't you let me go and let me have a place where I can live in peace?"

"Queen Mother, what do you say?"

Wen Tianxiang was immediately annoyed, and scolded directly: "Although Lin'an has been attacked, we still exist. If we find a place to stay, we can still gather the remnants of our forces and plot a revival. But if we devote ourselves to Xiao Feng's command, then we will really be completely finished. ”

"Alas. ”

Xie Daoqing shook his head and sighed, and replied: "I've been waiting for a long time ago, where is there any chance for revival? Now, you just let me go and let me have a good old age, okay?"

For the revival planned by Wen Tianxiang and others, she was completely disinterested.

"Wen Tianxiang, what should we do then?"

Seeing that Xie Daoqing was so resolute, the ministers were also quite helpless and looked at Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang's face flashed with anger, and he suddenly turned to leave, and said, "Go." "Although Xie Daoqing has given up, there are still other clans, and they can't set up a new monarch, so they can continue to resist stubbornly.

"Chen Ziang, I'm really sorry. ”

Seeing that the situation was like this, Jiang Cai had no choice but to bow down to Chen Zi and say goodbye.

Here, only Chen Ziang and the dozen or so subordinates he brought were left.

Bowing down, Chen Ziang said to Xie Daoqing: "Queen Mother, please come with us on the road." ”

Xie Daoqing tapped his forehead and said, "It should be like this." Immediately stepped into the carriage and let Chen Ziang take her towards the west, the night dispersed, the sunset rose, and the red glow reflected the sky, so that Chen Ziang only felt empty in his heart, and he understood that some of his things stayed in this place forever.
