Lei Ting took the Tubo brothers to chase after Bu Rigude, he said that the treasures of Tubo were lost in his hands, and he wanted to take them back with his life, Yang An did not stop it, because everyone has their own faith, just like Yang An hated the abusers and was willing to pay his life to resist the Mongols, faith is higher than life.

Yang An promised Meng Qing to escort General Zhao Lie on the last floor, and he had already set off! I didn't expect to come to Guangdong to cause so many things, Yang An couldn't get out if he wanted to, and when the matter here was settled, Yang An would also help Mei Kangyong investigate the matter of Feiyue, it is said that Feiyue was originally from Songshan. After that, he still has to solve the affairs of the Wudang faction, Yang An originally wanted to win over the Wudang faction to deal with the Mongols, but he didn't want to offend them, but the disciples of the Wudang faction were so rampant that he had to ask for an explanation!
"Wait a minute!" a horse galloped from behind.
"Nephew Yang Xian, you are really here!" the man said as he approached.
"Daoist Jin Toad, it's you!" Yang An said.
"Yes, I finally caught up, otherwise something big would happen, Yang Xian's nephew, the matter of you challenging the family teacher Zhang Zhenren has spread all over the rivers and lakes, I don't know if it's true!"
"Of course it's true!" Yang An said.
"What big thing can happen if you challenge your master, shouldn't the Wudang disciples give an explanation for openly defecting to Mongolia?"
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"
"The seniors said it was a misunderstanding, and the juniors have nothing to say, Qiu Yuanjing is a disciple of your faction?"
"Yes!"
"Then he defected to Mongolia, killed the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and killed more than 100 Tubo brothers who lived in seclusion in Guiyunzhuang, that is also the meaning of the Wudang faction!"
"No, no, my junior brother has always behaved inappropriately, causing trouble everywhere, angering the master and imprisoning him. Who knows, let him escape, and the master sent me down the mountain to arrest him! The old Taoist priest is guilty of lax supervision!"
"You only admit that the supervision is not strict, or you don't believe what we say!" Yang An was rarely angry, but now he was a little bit more!
"To tell you the truth, although my junior brother is unruly, but he said that he defected to Mongolia and killed his compatriots, the old Taoist priest thinks it should be a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Yang An pointed at Meng Qing and said, "This is Meng Qing, the guard general of Echeng, after the famous general Meng Hui, you said it was a misunderstanding, you ask him and his soldiers!"
"Yes, it's you stinky Taoist priests who colluded with the Mongols and killed sixty or seventy of us, and now you still have the face?"
"That's right, what else do you say is decent, I don't think it's bullshit, the lackeys of the Mongols!"
"People say that they can hand over this kind of dog thief apprentice in a nest, and I don't think that Zhang Sanfeng is a good bird!"
“......”
The soldiers below scolded one after another, and Daoist Jin Toad was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, because he had already believed most of it.
Meng Qing said: "Dao Chief, the matter of colluding with Mongolia does exist for Senior Brother, and it is absolutely true that he killed my soldiers! I also believe that Dao Chang is not a person like him, and the top priority should be to find him!"
"What the general said is that it's just about the duel in the martial arts......" Daoist Jin Chan said and looked at Yang An.
"Anyway, the Wudang faction always owes the rivers and lakes an explanation for this matter, so let's do it, the Taoist chief went back to tell Zhang Zhenren, the head of your faction, that there are still more than two months before the fifth day of the fifth month of May from today, if before the Dragon Boat Festival, your faction can publicly punish Qiu Yuanjing and give everyone an explanation, the competition will be canceled, and Yang An will make amends on the spot. But if there is no result in this matter before the Dragon Boat Festival, Yang An has no choice but to measure his own strength and lead the noble sect to make a high move!"
"Alas...... Alright then, I will do my best to investigate and leave!" Daoist Jin Toad was not very satisfied with this result, but Yang An's words made him irrefutable, so he had to leave.
Everyone continued to hurry, and Meng Qing suddenly asked, "Brother Yang, you know that the treasure in the Yin-Yang Mirror is here, why don't you tell Thunder?"
"If I told them, would you hand over the treasure?"
"You really asked me, if they are Song people, I will definitely return them to their original owners, but they are Tubo people after all!"
"Maybe everyone has selfish intentions, and I think so too. Moreover, if the treasure is with them, it will be coveted by others, and when the time comes, it will bring them unnecessary trouble!"
"Perhaps!"
A narrow alley, perhaps the widest street they have here, two rows full of people, all wearing white filial piety clothes, as soon as Meng Qing arrived, all of them knelt down, all with sad faces, and many people also knelt down.
"Brother Meng, what's going on?" asked Youqu.
"I don't know, I did send someone to inform his family that he was here today, it's normal for his family to pick him up, I didn't expect such a big scene!"
Meng Qing didn't know the road yet, and was going to send someone to ask for directions, but now it's okay, there are people standing on both sides of the street, all the way to Zhao's mansion.
At this moment, it seemed that the tranquility just now suddenly broke out, and all the people gathered around and began to cry.
"The lower officer has seen the general!"
"You're the local prefectural magistrate?"
"That's right, I'm the local county magistrate, and I'm also Zhao Lie's uncle!"
"What's going on with these people?"
"The general may not know, my nephew has been famous here since he was a child, we have been making water bandits here for many years, burning, killing and looting, coming and going without a trace, and there is no way to catch them quickly, and the people are miserable. Later, my nephew Zhao Lie volunteered, picked more than 20 strong men, and stayed outside the town day and night, in exchange for a few days of peace among the villagers, and then killed several groups of water bandits one after another, and the water bandits never dared to come again. Now that I heard that General Zhao died on the battlefield, everyone is willing to come and see him off for the last time!"
"Yes, let's take another look at General Zhao!" The villagers also began to surround themselves.
"Ask for your grace, just take a look!"
"Folks, I am Meng Qing, the guard of Echeng, I understand everyone's feelings, not only have you lost your relatives, but I Meng Qing has also lost my brother, and the emperor has also lost his good ministers, all of whom are heartbroken. The emperor was merciful, gave General Zhao a yellow coat, and designed a coffin with a skillful craftsman to keep his body from decaying, it's not that I don't want everyone to see it, I really can't see it, we want to preserve his body, so that General Zhao can still be intact after a thousand years, right!"
"Good!"
Meng Qing turned to the old lady and said, "These are given by the emperor, please accept them!"
"Okay, young girl, come, take it for your lord!" the old lady looked left and right, and said, "Hey, where is the young girl?"
"Oh no, ma'am...... Madame, she hanged!"
"Oh my God......" the old lady fainted too.
Youqu cried because of the martyrdom of the young girl.
Yang An also cried, because of the tears of the villagers! Although Zhao Lie's life has only passed after a short period of twenty-four years, Yang An feels that he is worthy, he has won the recognition of countless people, and Yang An wants to be such a person.
Meng Qing also cried, the heroism of a man is nothing more than dying on the battlefield, and the heroism of a woman is nothing more than martyrdom for her husband, the two are equally respectable, and they deserve the same treatment.
Soon the young girl was also given a thick burial, and the same coffin was designed by Lu Ban's descendants.
On the way back, Yang An asked Meng Qing: "Is that box of things really given by the emperor?"
"I can't hide anything from you, it's taken from those treasures!"
