In July of the second year of Gaozong Jianyan, Zong Ze, who was left behind in Kaifeng, died of illness, and when he was dying, he shouted three times in a row, "cross the river"! Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Jin Bing learned the news, took advantage of the situation to go south again, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yangzhou. When Gaozong heard the news, he knew that Yangzhou could not stay for a long time, so he immediately passed down the holy decree to go to Hangzhou to "tour south". At this time, Gaozong had already deposed Li Gang, and there were almost no loyal ministers around him, leaving behind all the traitorous ministers such as Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan.

After a few days, Gaozong hurriedly set off and took the civil and military ministers, the harem family and others to the south by boat, and went straight to Hangzhou. After the privy envoy Wang Yuan was appointed by Gaozong, he only cared about transporting his own gold and silver, where did he have the time to command the soldiers and horses and arrange the defensive matters? When the Jin soldiers were killed, he slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet, and tens of thousands of Song troops became prisoners in a daze.

At this time, the commander of the Jin army is already Wanyan Zongbi, the fourth son of Wanyan Aguta, this name may not be familiar to the officials, but if you want to say his other name - Jin Wushu, everyone will suddenly realize that it is him! Wushu led the army all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, defeated countless Song troops, and even the famous general Han Shizhong's department was also defeated by him, he led the army to fight all the way to the Yangtze River, which was blocked by the river, and the Jin soldiers did not have boats and boats, and did not know how to fight water warfare, so they retreated.

As early as when Zong Ze was still alive, the Hebei region had already attracted countless heroes and heroes of the green forest, and they set up a lot of rebels to resist the Jin soldiers, and used various means to kill the Jin soldiers. Many heroes and righteous men in the martial arts have also joined it, and even the disciples in the gangs such as Shaolin Temple, Songshan, Huashan, Taishan, Hengshan, and the Beggars Gang, there are also many people who have come spontaneously to resist gold and kill the enemy.

Chi Chongxiao, the old head of the Taishan faction, who was nearly seventy years old, took his son Chi Xianqiu and his disciples to frequently fight against the Jin soldiers in Shandong, and won quite a lot; Gu Feng, the new head of the Huashan faction, the "big wild goose guest," took the disciples of the faction down the mountain many times to inquire about the information of the Jin army, and infiltrated the Jin camp several times to kill the Jin generals; the Songshan faction, the Shaolin Temple, and others came to Kaifeng one after another, joined the command of the veteran general Zong Ze, and jointly fought against the Jin soldiers. The disciples of the beggar gang even took advantage of their status to obtain information about the Jin people and kill small groups and lone Jin soldiers; even the nuns of the Hengshan faction were not to be outdone, and frequently burned the grain and grass of the passing Jin soldiers.

In short, the entire northern Central Plains, the people's hearts are available, and they are all united around Zongze, willing to contribute to the great cause of resisting gold. And now, Zong Ze has passed away, and the new Kaifeng left-behind Du Chong is a short-sighted, greedy rat who is afraid of death, he first gave up all parts of Hebei, so that most of the northern rebels were strangled by the Jin army. In order to prevent the Jin soldiers from going south, he dug the Yellow River, but not only failed to stop the Jin soldiers, but also drowned hundreds of thousands of people. It was really hateful! However, Gaozong's ministers thought that he had meritorious service in guarding the Jingshi, and not only did not punish him, but also promoted him to an official position. The emperor is mediocre, the traitor is in charge, and the strong enemy is around, and the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are already in danger and stormy at this time.

Although Gaozong has inherited the unification, he only blindly avoided the edge of the Jin soldiers and continued to move south, and there was no effective strategy to resist the enemy. Who will be able to save the houses that will collapse, and who will be able to resist the onslaught of the golden soldiers?

In September of the third year of Jianyan, the Jin soldiers went south again, crossed the Yangtze River, and fought until Hangzhou. Gaozong fled from Yangzhou to Hangzhou, and before he had lived a few days of peace, he could only start a life of escape. In the end, he had to drift adrift at sea by boat. Most of the south of the Yangtze River was plundered by the Jin army, and the people knew that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold, and they all rose up against the Jin people.

Nanyue Heng Mountain, located in the south of ancient Jingzhou, can be ranked among the "five mountains", and its scenery can naturally be known to be good. Among the peaks of Hengshan, there is a sect - Hengshan School, which is a major sect inherited since the Tang Dynasty. It has been passed on to this life, it has gone through 26 generations, and the head of this generation is surnamed Liu Mingqingzhou, he is bold by nature and good at making friends with people. The Hengshan faction was handed over to him by his master seven years ago, only because of an old martial arts incident thirty years ago, the disciples of the Hengshan faction withered, and in the past few years, Liu Qingzhou led his brothers and sisters north to attack and kill the Jin army, many of them died in battle, and now only Liu Qingzhou and a martial arts have lost all their martial arts and a junior brother who has lost his right arm.

His two juniors said goodbye to Liu Qingzhou half a year ago, left the Hengshan faction, and no longer asked about the world, a huge Hengshan faction, and now Liu Qingzhou and some servants and cooks are still supported.

In April and May of the fourth year of Jianyan, the multi-way attack of the Jin soldiers was thwarted by Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wu Jue and others, and finally retreated from the Yangtze River to the north. Both the Song and Jin countries were fierce and ready to fight again.

In the afternoon of this day, Liu Qingzhou was practicing martial arts on the mountain, and someone came to report that someone had come to ask for a meeting. Liu Qingzhou ordered the doorman to bring the person to the main hall, changed his clothes, and came to meet him, and the doorman left in response.

Liu Qingzhou turned around and returned to the bedroom, changed his clothes, and came to the main hall. Above the main hall, I saw a person hanging with one arm, the whole head was wrapped in a white cloth, sitting on a chair on one side, seeing Liu Qingzhou come in, getting the doorman to signal, knowing that this is Liu Qingzhou, the head of Hengshan, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "The villain Lu Thirteen, I have seen the head of Liu." ”

Liu Qingzhou returned a salute and asked, "Dare to ask why you came to my Hengshan?" Lu Shisan suddenly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and said: "Master Liu, the villain is the entourage of the former Lu'an Prefecture prefect Lu Landing, five years ago, the golden dog went south to invade my border, and my lord took the people of the city to defend the city, I don't want the golden dog to be powerful, after the city was broken, my lord was killed and martyred, and my wife was also martyred. Before the words were finished, the crying could not be stopped. Liu Qingzhou said slowly: "Brother Lu once had a relationship with me, when he and his wife went to the north to take office, we met by chance in Dongting Lake, and we had a very pleasant conversation, so we drank and boated together, and formed this friendship. On the same day, I also learned of his death, I went north to Lu'an Prefecture, but I hated that I went too late and failed to save Brother Lu's life, I deeply regret it, I don't know why the thirteenth brother is here today?"

Lu Shisan wiped his tears, stopped crying, and continued: "Master Liu, after the death of my lord and wife, I still left a son, named Wenlong, at that time, the nurse was holding the little master, I was exploring the way in front, wanting to escape from the broken city, but I didn't want to be captured by the golden dog. I and the nurse thought that this time we would die, fortunately the sky is pitiful, we met the golden dog official, that person called Yan Zongbi, we all called him the golden vulture, is the fourth prince of the golden dog, he asked us about our origins, and admired the integrity of the master, so he did not hurt the little master, just took us away, and raised the little young master. But now, five years have passed, and the little young master has gradually grown up, every time I see him ask his father-killing enemy to call his father, my nurse and I are like knives, but our skills are low, we can't take the little young master out of the tiger's mouth, I want to tell the truth, and I am afraid that the little young master is still young and does not know how to forbear, and after being known by the golden dog, he will harm the little young master. This time the golden dog went on an expedition, and the nurse and I thought about it again and again, and decided that I would pretend to serve the golden vulture, go south with him, and then take the opportunity to escape. The nurse said that she had heard the master talk about Master Liu, and praised Master Liu for his righteousness many times, so we decided that I would come to you after I escaped, and please go out of the mountain to save my little master. ”

Liu Qingzhou clapped his hands in surprise and said: "It turns out that Brother Lu still has a son in this world, which is very good. He turned around and asked: "Brother Thirteen, where are your little young master and nurse now?" Lu Shisan wiped a handful of tears and replied: "So that Master Liu knows that although the Golden Vulture is like a murderer, it is like his own to my little young master, originally he planned to take the little young master to go out with him this time, but I don't know what happened, before leaving, he placed the little young master in the mansion of Yanjing Mansion." ”

After listening to Lu Shisan's narration, Liu Qingzhou stood up, paced a few steps in the hall, and muttered for a long time, and asked: "Thirteen brothers, I still have a question, it's not that I don't believe in the thirteen brothers, but at this time, the stakes are very high, and Liu has to be cautious, don't blame me." ”

Lu Shisan knelt on the ground with a thud: "It's okay for Master Liu to ask, as long as Thirteen knows, he will tell the truth." Liu Qingzhou bowed his head and said: "Okay, Thirteen Brothers, how did I know about my acquaintance with Brother Lu and Mrs. Lu back then? How did you escape from the Golden Camp this time? I hope that the Thirteen Brothers will tell the truth." ”

I saw Lu Shisan's eyes look directly at Liu Qingzhou, and replied: " Don't dare to deceive the head of Liu, when the city was broken, Mrs. learned that the lord was martyred, and he had already sprouted the will of life and death, and handed over the little young master to the nurse, and said, the lord has been an official for more than ten years, the sleeves are clean, he loves the people like a son, and has never slandered and flattered, but he has offended many people, the world is so big, and there are few confidants who can really communicate with the master, only Li Gang Li and Liu Zhangmen and the lord can be described as irreversible friends, let us take the little young master to Li or Liu Zhangmen, I hope that in the sake of the lord's martyrdom for the country, we can raise the little young master, make him grow up, and do not make the Lu family cut off the incense。 My nurse and I took the little young master to escape from the city to the capital to join Lord Li, but unexpectedly was captured by the golden dog, in recent years, we thought of many ways to bring out the little master, but we were unsuccessful, and then I thought that Liu Zhang's martial arts are strong, and he will definitely be able to rescue the little master from the hands of the golden dog. Therefore, I stooped down to serve Wushu this time in order to come south with him, and then take the opportunity to escape and come to meet Master Liu. The golden dog came south this time and fought all the way to Lin'an Mansion, originally wanting to destroy our dynasty and take my Emperor Gaozong away together, but it was unsuccessful. When Wushu retreated, he was blocked by General Han Shizhong in Huang Tiandang, and failed to break through many times. On that day, while the two armies were fighting, he had no time to take care of it, so he suddenly turned over and jumped out of the boat, trying to swim to the shore, but unfortunately I was not in good water and was wounded by an arrow, and almost died. Fortunately, God was pitiful, he was rescued by a fishing boat, and he was raised for thirty or forty days before he was able to save his life. But as soon as I thought that the little young master was still in Jinying, I begged the boatman to take me to Luling, and I walked all the way west from Luling for five days before I came here. After that, he kowtowed a few more times and cried: "Master Liu, Lu Shisan's life is nothing, but my lord is loyal to the country, and I only ask Master Liu to rescue the little master to comfort the soul of the lord and his wife in the sky!"

Liu Qingzhou hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu 13 up: "Thirteen brothers, please get up quickly, Brother Lu and his wife were in trouble back then, and I couldn't save them." And now, thanks to Mrs. Tuogu, Liu is fighting for his life, and he must rescue this bit of blood left by Brother Lu!"

Lu Shisan knelt on the ground again and wept bitterly: "Master Liu Gaoyi, I thanked Master Liu on behalf of my old lady." My old lady has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely be grateful for the great kindness of Master Liu. ”

Liu Qingzhou helped Lu 13 up again: "Thirteen brothers, it's not early today, you go to the guest room to rest for a night, tomorrow morning, we will set off to the north to save your son-in-law." I just don't know how your injury is, can you travel far?" Lu Shisan replied: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I can rescue my little young master one day earlier, Thirteen is desperate for his life, it's worth it, not to mention that I have been recuperating for more than a month, this injury is already half of the way, it really doesn't get in the way, please rest assured Master Liu." ”

"Okay, Uncle Sun, go get a 'Spring Flower and Winter Snow Pill' and heal the thirteen brothers. Liu Qingzhou said to the door, only to hear an old man answer, turned around and left. Liu Qingzhou turned back to Lu Thirteen and said: "Brother Thirteen, I just probed your pulse, although your external injury is no longer a big problem, but your heart and lungs are also not a little damaged, this door's 'Spring Flower and Winter Snow Pill' is still quite effective for healing, after a while, you will take a pill after dinner, and then go to bed early and have a good night's rest." ”

Lu Shisan thanked Liu Qingzhou again and again. At this time, Uncle Sun had already taken the "Spring Flower and Winter Snow Pill" and handed it over to Liu Qingzhou. Liu Qingzhou handed the medicine to Lu Thirteen again, and said with a smile: "Thirteen brothers, after dinner, you take this medicine before resting, and then go to sleep, then you may feel a hot current in your abdomen, but don't panic, it means that the medicine has begun to work, you can sleep with peace of mind, tomorrow morning, when you wake up, you will find that the soreness and weakness in your body will be better." Lu Shisan held the pill tightly in his hand, and thanked him: "The kindness of Master Liu, the villain is unforgettable, thank you Master Liu." Liu Qingzhou took his hand: "No thanks, you have thanked enough today." Come, Uncle Sun, you take the thirteen brothers to the guest room, and then bother the kitchen to make some food for the thirteen brothers. He turned to look at Lu 13 again: "Brother Thirteen, you go with Uncle Sun." ”

Uncle Sun replied and said to Lu Shisan: "Distinguished guests, please come with me." After speaking, Lu Thirteen left the main hall and went to the guest room.

Liu Qingzhou looked at the figures of the two of them in the distance, and couldn't help thinking in his heart: "This person claims to be Brother Lu's domestic servant, and there is no flaw between his words, but I met Brother Lu twenty years ago, and at that time it was just a meeting in Pingshui, just boating and drinking together on Dongting Lake, and having similar interests, formed this friendship." In the past 20 years, things are different from people, although there have been several correspondence exchanges, but they have never met again, and his family is even more ignorant. Now that Brother Lu and Mrs. Lu are both martyred, the servants and miscellaneous servants in the house are dead and fleeing, and they can't find out the authenticity of this person. But seeing that this person's words are sincere, it doesn't seem to be a hypocrisy, and I just tried it, and he really doesn't know the slightest martial arts. There was no flaw in what he said, and the wounds he had suffered were indeed true, and the puffiness on his face was indeed caused by a long soak in water, and the poison of fire in his heart and lungs was not a lie. It's just that if Brother Lu really had a son, and he didn't have a son until he was over forty years old, he should have written to me to inform me of such a happy event, why haven't I seen any letters coming? Could it be that there is fraud in it? But if this is a scam, this person should have been sent by the Jin people, but what is the purpose of the Jin people sending him?"

Thinking about it at this time, but seeing that there was a sudden strong wind outside the house, Liu Qingzhou walked slowly to the door, put his hands behind his back, looked at the gust of wind, and was silent, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a while, Uncle Sun turned back and reported: "The door master, the Lu 13 has been arranged, I don't know what else the door master has to explain?" Liu Qingzhou turned to look at Sun Bo and asked, "Uncle Sun, you said that this Lu 13 came this time, is what he said true or false?"

Uncle Sun looked at Liu Qingzhou and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the master of the sect suspects him ......." Liu Qingzhou waved his hand: "That's not it, I can't say, it's just that many people in the martial arts have taken refuge in the Golden Dog recently, I'm worried about what kind of conspiracy the Golden Dog has, and I still have some questions that I can't solve." So there are some doubts in my heart. Uncle Sun has been in the Hengshan faction since Liu Qingzhou's master was alive, and he is also a person who has experienced many winds and waves. Therefore, if the master of the door intends to go, he must be tested again on the way. ”

Liu Qingzhou nodded: "Uncle Sun, I have also thought about this, if this person has such courage, he will not betray Song and invest in gold, if there is another hidden secret, I will be able to see the flaws if I test it along the way." ”

At that moment, Liu Qingzhou and Uncle Sun discussed again and decided how to test Lu Shisan's method. The two thought about it again and again, and made sure that there was nothing wrong, Liu Qingzhou said: "Uncle Sun, it's already so late, I'm tired of you this time, go and rest early, don't worry about me." Uncle Sun answered, turned around and left.

Liu Qingzhou looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, sighed, and said to himself: "Brother Lu, although you and I only have one side, we are incompatible, and before you know it, you have been gone for five years. If what Lu Shisan said is true, I hope that you will be blessed by the spirit of heaven and I can successfully rescue Ling Lang from the tiger's mouth this time. At that time, I will definitely teach martial arts in person, and when he is successful in kung fu, he will definitely avenge Brother Lu and comfort the souls of Brother Lu and his wife in the sky. ”
