Zhen Yue and Li Lianyu sat in a sedan chair and slowly drove to Lanyue Tower. Cai Jing's treacherous face and the prosperity of Kaifeng in early summer collided fiercely in Li Lianyu's heart.

Li Lianyu said: "Sister, what do you think of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Zhen Yue said with a smile: "The prince may not have great ambitions. He supports you and me only because he wants to get rid of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others, sweep away the ministers, and consolidate the imperial power after he ascends the throne. If the Liao State is destroyed at that time and the Song and Jin go to war, they may also be a lord and faction. ”

Li Lianyu doubted: "Is it possible for the Song and Jin countries to fight?"

Zhen Yue said: "Let's ask the Southern Dynasty for thousands of miles, why don't the Northern Dynasties covet it?"

Li Lianyu said: "My sister is reasonable. ”

Zhen Yue said: "With the current ruined situation of the Liao State, within three years, the Jin State will definitely engulf the Liao State. Who knows what will happen after that? ”

Li Lianyu looked at the sky, looking forward to the day of the Northern Expedition.

In early summer, Yu Zhiwei stood alone on the shore of Shuzhou Snow Lake. Yu Zhiwei heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and said, "Sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Jiang Xiao said suspiciously: "Sister, why do you call me that?"

Yu Zhiwei took out the broken jade on his chest, Jiang Xiao held it in the palm of his hand and watched, and found that Yu Zhiwei's broken jade was stitched up with his own broken jade crack.

Jiang Xiaodao: "Dare to ask what story is hidden between this pair of broken jade?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "About thirty years ago, when Cai Jing was the governor of Shuzhou, he unjustly sentenced his father to death for accepting money from others. At that time, I was still young, and my mother was worried that Cai Jing would come to the door to kill the mouth, so she took me and my sister to escape into the forest, and soon after, the Song army searched everywhere for our traces, and my mother tore my clothes for safety, tied eight broken logs into a boat, placed my sister on it, floated in the river, and broke the ancestral jade in half, so that the brothers and sisters could recognize each other in the future. After that, I fled separately from my mother, but ...... Whether my mother is still alive in the world, I don't know. ”

Jiang Xiao suddenly said: "No wonder Uncle Zhu once told me that I found it on the river, and at that time, the sky had just broken down, so it was named Jiang Xiao." But why don't I remember anything about the past?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "At that time, you were only two years old, how could you remember." ”

Jiang Xiao said suspiciously: "Since Cai Jing is the enemy of you and me, why have you been guarding Cai Jing for a long time?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "I don't want my father and mother to die unclear, so I hope to find out the facts of the past case in order to return my father's innocence. ”

Jiang Xiaodao: "In the past, you didn't tell me about the things on Tianzhu Mountain, because you were worried about the impulse in my heart, and fought to the death in order to take Cai Jing's head?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "This is one of them. The second is that the situation was critical at the time, and I did not have time to go into details. ”

Jiang Xiao said: "Xuanqing Daoist pretended to be a man in black and kidnapped me down the mountain, is it also your request?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "Exactly." I was raised by Master, who knows everything about my heart. ”

Jiang Xiao said: "I see, no wonder every time Xuanqing Dao sees you, there is no resentment in his eyes. ”

Yu Zhiwei said: "It was Master who asked me to lurk around Cai Jing to wait for the opportunity. ”

Jiang Xiaodao: "Zhen Yixian and Mrs. Yang also have a deep grudge against Cai Jing, why don't you and I join forces with the two of them?"

Yu Zhiwei said: "The time is not yet ripe, if I startle the snake and give up all my efforts, I may lose my life." ”

Jiang Xiao said: "Since you have a plan in mind, I will not intervene." Today is the day of reunion between you and my brother and sister, brother, please bow down to my little sister. ”

Yu Zhiwei helped Jiang Xiao up, recalling Jiang Xiao's cold and glamorous appearance in red when he first met, and sighed that life was unpredictable, and the ice and snow beauty he fell in love with at first sight was actually his dear sister.

After Zhen Yue and Li Lianyu stayed in Kaifeng for a few days, they finally received the holy decree that Li Lianyu entered the palace and was canonized, and Zhen Yue accompanied Li Lianyu to the outside of the palace.

Zhen Yue said: "Pity Yu, the people in the court are sinister, you should be careful." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Sister, please rest assured, Lianyu knows it." ”

Li Lianyu walked up to the Zichen Palace, and the civil and military officials lined up on both sides, Li Lianyu kowtowed and said: "The people's daughter sees my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Flat." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Li Lianyu, I heard that you won the crown of the Jianghu Heroes Association on Tianzhu Mountain the day before yesterday, and I appointed you as the protector of the army in accordance with the previous agreement, with the rank of three ranks, and took charge of the post of marshal of the Jianghu Army." ”

Li Lianyu kowtowed again and said, "Thank you for the Holy Grace of Emperor Wu." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Li Aiqing, flat body." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Cai Aiqing." ”

Cai Jing said: "Weichen is here." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Please Cai Aiqing give the fourth volume of "Zhenguan Soldiers" to Li Aiqing. ”

Cai Jing kowtowed and said: "Back to the emperor, Cai's mansion was stolen by thieves some time ago, and the fourth volume of "Zhenguan Bingyao" has been lost, and this matter has been handed over to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation. ”

Zhao Ji said: "The book of the criminal department, can there be such a thing?"

The criminal department Shangshu said: "Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing. Xia Guan has supervised the investigation of the theft of property from the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kaifeng Mansion, and it is believed that the results will be obtained in the near future. ”

Zhao Ji said: "I have said it first, and after the fourth volume of "Zhenguan Bingyao" is recovered, it will still belong to Li Aiqing. Cai Aiqing, do you understand?"

Cai Jing said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen knows." ”

Zhao Ji said: "I hope that Li Aiqing will rectify the soldiers and horses in the rivers and lakes on the same day, and attack Liao side by side with Tong Aiqing." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Weichen is in charge." ”

Zhao Ji said: "You have something to play early, and you have nothing to retreat from." ”

The ministers said: "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

Li Lianyu left the palace, overjoyed in her heart, and quickly returned to Lanyue Tower.

Li Lianyu returned to the Lanyue Tower, and after entering the wing, she saw Zhen Yue talking harmoniously with Yue Fei and Pan Ning.

Li Lianyu said curiously: "Pengju and the sixth master, how can you two be here?"

Pan Ning said: "Peng Ju and I expected that Mrs. Yang would soon be appointed as the marshal of the Northern Expedition. ”

Li Lianyu said with a smile: "The six masters have won the award." With the help of such masters as the six masters, Lianyu's confidence doubled. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Lianyu, what are your plans now?"

Li Lianyu said: "Since the six masters and Pengju are already here at this moment, I want to go to Liao State first, and after finding out the enemy's situation, it is advisable to march, and I have not yet recruited troops and horses, so it will take some time to prepare." ”

Pan Ning said: "If there is anything that I need to do with Peng, Marshal Li, please make it clear." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Lianyu is ashamed and dare not be. But at the moment, I really need six masters and Pengju to dedicate themselves to me. The six masters were responsible for preparing grain, grass, horses and other materials, and Pengju was responsible for recruiting soldiers. The money and food needed by the six masters and Pengju will be provided by the household department, and if Cai Jingke deducts the money at that time, my sister will go to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find out the truth. ”

Pan Ning said: "Pan Ning has an order." ”

Zhen Yue said: "Lianyu, when will you return to Kaifeng on this trip?"

Li Lianyu said: "After about February, before August 20. ”

Zhen Yue said: "You and I might as well agree in advance that on August 20, the Jianghu Army will assemble and the whole army will go on the Northern Expedition." I ordered Lord Wang to inform the various branches of the Five Poisons Sect in the Song Kingdom, and ordered them to send their disciples to post notices on the recruitment of soldiers and horses by the Jianghu Army in all prefectures and counties, so as to respectfully invite the righteous men of the whole country to come. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Sister, this move is very wonderful. After Ruqiu and Yunyan returned from Changguo County, they asked the two of them to come to Kaifeng to help their sister. ”

Zhen Yue said: "February is more than enough time for you to explore the enemy's situation, you might as well go to Xia Kingdom first, talk to Qingmei, and persuade him not to lead the army to aid Liao, so as not to fight with you and me on the battlefield, and there will inevitably be an injury at that time." After you say goodbye to Qingmei, you might as well take Ziying to Qingcheng Mountain and hand it over to Xuanqing Daoist, who will be healed by me on Tianzhu Mountain, and will definitely teach Ziying with all his heart. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Yes, sister." ”

Pan Ning said: "After I recruit some soldiers, I will pass the book to the fifth brother and ask him to come to Kaifeng and teach the soldiers the tactics of war with Pengju." ”

Li Lianyu said: "With the help of the five masters, the combat quality of the Jianghu Army will definitely rise steadily. ”

Zhen Yue walked to the window and looked at the street, her heart was empty and dazed, Zhen Yue had no interest in military life, but as Li Lianyu's heart dependent, Zhen Yue must fully support Li Lianyu at this moment. Zhen Yue thought of the scene of healing Yan Zonghan before, and felt very worried in his heart. Zhen Yue's words when he turned around surprised Li Lianyu, Yue Fei, and Pan Ning. Zhen Yue said: "I'm just afraid that my lips will die and my teeth will be cold." ”

At this time, Li Lianyu couldn't help but smell the aroma of wine, and said with a smile: "Drunkard, you must be here." (To be continued.) )
