Wei Qing didn't expect this black and inconspicuous Zhanlu sword to be so sharp, and he was overjoyed to withdraw his sword and attack other enemies, Jin Bing saw that his sword was sharp, and his own heavy blades such as sword and shield and mace were difficult to match, once the two intersected, they were broken or damaged, Jin Bing was afraid of the sharpness of his sword, so he had no choice but to get together to cover each other and hold on to the two of him. Wei Qing and Cao Lu's offensive and defensive momentum was immediately reversed, and at the moment Wei Qing was in front of the main attack with a sword, and Cao Lu was holding a stick on the side to cover, but there were many Jin soldiers, and it was still difficult to kill the enemy's battle formation and rush out of the city for a while.

Suddenly there was a drum in the distance, and another group of men and horses killed in the direction of the city gate, Wei Qing was shocked, and said to Cao Lu: "Senior brother, I don't want the two of us to die today, it's all because I have burdened you, otherwise you could have escaped from the city."

Cao Lu smiled at Wei Qing and said: "Brother Qing, don't say frustrating words, I like you very much, it's better for our brothers to die together, so as not to have no one to accompany you on Huangquan Road, and if you want to die today, you have to pull a few dogs to back your back, and you can't fall into the prestige of my beggar gang." The two thought that they would be doomed as soon as the enemy's reinforcements arrived, but they were calm in their hearts, and they only wanted to kill a few more enemies before they died.

A cluster of arrows came in the sound of drums, and several Jin soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, but it turned out that Lu Deng arrived with hundreds of personal soldiers, only to see that he was no longer as gentle and elegant as a member of the party, at this time, his face was covered with blood, his hair was scattered and the Song soldiers under the command of Qingjian rushed to the enemy formation, Wei Qing saw the reappearance of vitality, and was immediately pleasantly surprised that Wujian and Cao Lu cooperated with the Song army to attack the Jin army. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Jin army pulled up the wounded companions and fought and retreated, giving way to the opening in front of the city gate, and the Song army did not pursue, but guarded the city gate under the command of Lu Deng, and beckoned the people who had taken refuge to escape from the city through the east gate as soon as possible.

Wei Qing stepped forward to meet Lu Dengdao: "Lord Lu, this time I failed to rush back in time to warn, tired of the whole city of soldiers and civilians suffering, it is really difficult in my heart, please allow me to follow the army to make meritorious contributions, even if I die in this Lu'an City in the end, I will not hesitate."

Lu Deng's forehead said: " It's not your fault, the Jin people's plan is just that they don't want to hurt more soldiers, it's the enemy's trick this time, in terms of the combat power of both sides, it's only a matter of time before you break through Lu'an, in fact, I have to write to the court to ask for war preparedness after you report the letter, but the officials of the DPRK and China are arguing, for them anyway, they live in Kyoto in peace, but they want to be promoted and make a fortune, and the border troubles have nothing to do with it, in my opinion, the Jin people are going south this time, maybe everyone in Beijing will not be able to sit at home later."

Lu Deng looked at the Zhanlu sword in Wei Qing's hand that was still dripping blood, and said with a smile: "This Zhanlu sword is originally a sword of benevolence, sharp and restrained without murderous aura, it is not a weapon of killing, I don't want you to use this sword to save the people today, but it doesn't live up to the intention I gave you this sword that day, but it's a pity that the sword is empty, but it can't save the fate of this broken city." Good boy, go out of the city quickly, and stay useful, and don't throw your life in this Lu'an city with me in vain."

Wei Qing heard Lu Deng's words that he didn't want to go out of the city together, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Lu, the general trend has gone and it is irretrievable, why don't you also go out of the city together, and it is not too late to try to recover the lost land in the future."

Lu Deng sighed and said: "This official is a state festival, and he has caused the misfortune of the whole city, where is there still a face to steal his life, and now he can only die in front of this city gate, and it is worthy of his heart to save a few more people." Unlike me, you have never enjoyed the benefits of the court, so you don't have to die for your loyalty, so let's go."

Wei Qing knew that Lu Deng had decided to die, so he didn't say anything more, hugged his sword and saluted: "Lord Lu cherishes, I have never dared to forget your previous teachings, and I will not call this Zhanlu sword in the empty box in this life." Not far ahead, there was a sudden uproar, and I saw a large group of golden soldiers swarming towards the city gate, Lu Deng no longer paid attention to Wei Qing, turned around and raised his sword and shouted: "Quickly line up to guard the city gate, and let the people go out of the city."

Wei Qing stared at Lu Deng's back for a moment of silence, and then said to Cao Lu: "Senior brother, let's go out of the city, my parents died at the hands of the Jin people, and the family is long gone. ”

Cao Lu pulled Wei Qing and walked out of the city and said: "The Daxin rudder of this gang is located in Bianliang, the capital division, it is better to go here to take refuge, or pass the news to the brothers of the Daxin rudder, and let them report to the chief rudder for discussion." The two had agreed to follow the flow of people out of the city to the south, although they encountered a small group of Jin soldiers to intercept them along the way, but both of them were people who practiced martial arts, seized the opportunity to kill two lone Jin cavalry, and finally escaped safely after seizing each other's horses.

The two rode farther and farther away from Lu'an, and when they entered the boundary of Hejian Mansion, they no longer had to worry about the pursuit of the Jin army. The speed of the Jin army to the south seems to be very fast, and from time to time on the road encounter people who have taken refuge with their families, and when the two of them just stepped out of the ground of Hejian Mansion, the refugees who followed said that Zhang Shuye, who was too guarded by Hejian, had surrendered without a fight, and more than 50,000 people of the Jin army on the west road were approaching Bianliang, the division of Song Tingjing. There are also people from Hebei who mentioned that Wei Qing's hometown Yanshan Mansion was also broken by the Jin army on the East Road, and the Song Dynasty spent a lot of effort, and it was the land of Yanyun that was bought with money to send troops to the country and spent money to redeem it, and now the two Jin armies are together with a total of more than 100,000 people, and it seems that the momentum is planning to attack Bianliang City.

The two didn't dare to stay any longer, so they immediately accelerated their journey and went straight in the direction of Jingshi, and walked for more than a month to reach Bianliang. Tokyo Bianliang and Lu'an are different, the city wall alone has been repaired threefold, divided into the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, among which there are twelve gates of the outer city alone, the city is more full of a prosperous scene, the market is crowded with people in front of the shops along the street, the various commodities sold do not mention the daily necessities of the people's oil, rice, tea and salt, that is, Shu brocade, Duan inkstone, Jin copper, Wu paper and other luxurious things are also no lack of people who ask the price. Wei Qing grew up in the family of hunters in the mountains and forests, even in Lu'an City, it was a big eye-opener, and at this moment he couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this magnificent and prosperous city, Cao Lu was also excited to look at the busy street, and even pulled Wei Qing for a while and shouted to taste the buns of the Jade Building, and in a blink of an eye he was clamoring to eat the pie of his own mother-in-law Cao.

Wei Qing stopped Cao Lu and said: "Don't be busy having fun, let's go to Daxin first and settle down." The two of them immediately carved a code pattern used by the beggar disciples to communicate on a street corner, and then waited next to them, and after a short time, a dirty and sloppy beggar with a negative bag came to question, and after the two received the code words of the meeting, they took the initiative to report their names and explain their intentions. After hearing this, the beggar led the two of them to turn east and west through the city, and walked for a long time before they came to an apricot grove outside the city, only to see a few grass houses in a clearing in the forest, and several armed beggar disciples were going back and forth to be on guard, Wei Qing and Cao Lu were taken into one of the rooms, and an elderly beggar with gray hair and beard smiled and said that he was Yang Ming, the deputy helmsman of the Daxin Branch.

After Wei Qing and Cao Lu identified themselves, they told the story of Lu'an City being broken by the Jin army and the death of Lin Hu and Cheng Bin. Wei Qing and the others were both low-bag disciples who were not in the stream in the beggar gang, so they naturally couldn't put their beaks on such a big matter, so even if they saluted and said that they had withdrawn, they settled down under the guidance of the Daxin rudder disciples.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Lu pulled Wei Qing to go into the city to hang out, the two of them were unrestrained at this time, and there was nothing to do at hand, just because there was still some left to sell horses before they were finished, so they agreed to go into the city together to find a few places to play, and by the way, taste some of the snacks that Cao Lu was worried about. After the two entered the city, they first bought some food and packed it, and then asked the path from the passers-by, and came to the Wu Qi Temple in the city to admire the style of the ancients, Wei Qing only heard some romance stories such as "Xue Rengui's Three Arrows Set the Tianshan Mountain" and "Guo Ziyi Horse Returns to the Falcon" when he was a child in the village, and he did not know about Wu Qi's life and deeds, and Cao Lu only cared about stuffing the food into his mouth, let alone saying why.

The incense in Wuqi Temple is not prosperous, only a few foreign tourists, most of them just walk around at will and leave, far less popular than Xiangguo Temple and Taiping Xingguo Temple. Wei Qingzheng was suffering from no one asking about the allusion, and suddenly heard a young scholar next to him sigh: "Alas, the ancients are gone, but I don't know when this dynasty will be able to descend such a good general as Wu Qi", Wei Qing heard his words sigh for a long time, and couldn't help but take a closer look, only to see that this scholar had a delicate face, looking only in his early twenties, and a moon-white robe was not new, but it was very clean.

Wei Qing stepped forward and asked: "I just heard Brother Tai's sigh, I must know Wu Qi's life and deeds, I haven't read a book, I haven't heard Wu Qi's deeds, I don't know if Brother Tai is willing to solve my doubts." Seeing that Wei Qing was dressed in simple clothes but curious about the past of the ancients, the scholar couldn't help but show a look of slight surprise, but then he returned the salute and smiled: "It's okay, I also arrived in Tokyo not long ago, and I happened to travel here today with nothing to do.

Wei Qing saw that this scholar was a scholar but spoke politely to himself, and he had a good impression in his heart, and said: "My name is Wei Qing, and this is my fellow disciple Cao Lu, we came to Beijing from Lu'an Prefecture, but we are troublesome Mr.", the scholar replied: "Don't dare, it turns out that the two of them are from the north, in Qinhui, Xiajiang, and they will know the words."
