At this time, the dense clouds are low and the light is bleak. A mournful wind blew, bloody and mournful, but soon the snow began to fall. The snow fell heavier and heavier, falling on top of the armor, and it was easy to accumulate.

Nearly 100 soldiers of the Song Army held torches and silently mourned in a circle. Liu Qi was like a snowman, sitting in front of Hu Weifeng's corpse and muttering, "Brother Hu...... My good brother......" Liu Qi gasped and burst into tears, trembling with his hands to pluck the arrows on Hu Weifeng's body......

In the early morning of the next day, the snow was raging, and Liu Qi and others led the remnants of the depressing class teacher.

In the dense palace of the Song Dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials are in line.

Qin Chucai held an ivory wat in his hand, and went out to Zhao Gou and said: "Long live, the remnants of Liu Qi have gradually arrived in Beijing, it is reported that this battle is a mistake in the use of troops, a small number of soldiers insisted on going their own way, stubborn and self-conscious, since they entered the bag set up by the enemy army in advance, suffered heavy losses, and almost wiped out the whole army. Long live the original fortunate did not allow 100,000 soldiers, otherwise the consequences will be embarrassing. ......”

Zhao Gou said coldly, "Liu Qi has led the troops for many years, but he loves his ability too much, and he prides himself on being extraordinary. Back then, Yue Fei was able to break 100,000 in Qinglong Mountain, but this time he asked Liu Qi to break 30,000 from 60,000, and he was defeated and returned, and he had his own theory. The veteran Zhang Jun came out and said: "Long live what you said is wrong. Zhao Gou was displeased when he heard this: "What is wrong with King Lone's words?" Zhang Jun said: "Long live I don't know that this battle is different from the past, how can I follow his words and draw conclusions." At that time, Marshal Liu repeatedly broke through the golden soldiers and accumulated immortal feats, which everyone knows. In this Northern Expedition, if it is really 60,000 to attack 30,000, Weichen dares to say that Marshal Liu will undoubtedly win, as Lord Qin just said, it is untrue. The various divisions of the enemy's 2nd Route Army were not far apart, and it was not impossible to go to the rescue. If this is the case, Liu Qi will meet the opponent's 100,000 troops with 60,000 troops, which is still glorious despite defeat, and we are all guesses, and the real battle situation will soon be known, and the ministers think that the soldiers will never live up to the emperor's holy hope. Zhao Gou smiled coldly.

The Song soldiers returned from the Northern Expedition, exhausted, and returned to the school martial arts field to sit down, gasping for breath**. Liu Qi and others inquired about the injuries of the soldiers one by one and comforted the soldiers.

At this time, a eunuch came to announce the order, and all the soldiers struggled to their feet. The eunuch stepped forward and shouted in a scream: "Long live the command, Liu Qi will enter the palace with the command!" Liu Qi indifferently walked up to the front and said: "All the soldiers have returned from afar, and they are tired, and many brothers are seriously injured, and Ben Shuai can't leave at this time. There is a fold here, I wanted to invite the emperor tomorrow morning, but now I will bother Gonggong Zhang to forward it on behalf of Ben Shuai!" Liu Qi said, took out the fold from his body, and handed it over with both hands. Father-in-law Zhang glanced at the fold in his hand, his face was embarrassed, and he sighed in a muffled voice: "It's okay!"

Gonggong Zhang returned to the temple and said to Zhao Gou: "Your Majesty the Emperor......" Zhao Gou said: "You went to pass on my message, why didn't Liu Qi come?" Zhang Gonggong said: "Long live, Liu Qi and the others have just returned from the battle, they are tired and tired, and many soldiers are seriously injured, and Liu Qi is difficult to get out for a while. Today there is a fold that he entrusted me to pass on to the Holy One. With that, he presented the fold.

After Zhao Gou took it, his expression was gloomy and he was silent for a long time. After a while, Zhao Gocai said: "Zhang Jun, Yu Yunwen." Zhang and Yu came out and said, "The minister is here." Zhao said: "Liu Qi is also regarded as my dynasty's loyalty, righteousness, and courage, should be reused, but his age, and there are eighty high halls, frail ......and sick, read his filial piety, so he is allowed to lead the year to retire, filial piety to the mother's bed, his 'town of the general of the dynasty', the post of 'general of the town of the dynasty', will be replaced by General Zhang; In the future, General Yu will take over his post. ...... Spread the decree and posthumously crown Hu Weifeng as the 'brave general', and let them go to Da Mengtu, Tao Kezhong, and Yan Simin. ”

The Manchu civil and military forces were moved, but some shed tears. Zhao Gou waved his hand again and said, "Retreat." ”

When the time is like a white horse, it is the spring after 18 years, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

In the ancient city of Gusu in the south of the Yangtze River, businessmen gather, pavilions are rows, pedestrians are side by side, and the prosperity of a faction is leveled.

In an elegant ancient garden, the pavilions of the water pavilion, the rocks and vines of the mountains, the layout is staggered and beautiful. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy faced the scenery of the garden, picked a flower and leaf casually, and blurted out freehand: "The vine is beautiful and beautiful, and the young man is ashamed of the flower." ”

The young man surnamed Hu Mingyu, his father Hu Zifang, ancestral home of Qingxian County, moved south to Suzhou for nearly 20 years, opened a 'Zhenjiang Martial Arts Museum' in the east of the city, and received dozens of apprentices. Hu Yujiu practiced martial arts in the museum, and it was rare to go out a few times, and today when his father was not in the museum, he invited several disciples in the museum to come to the ancient garden in the city to play.

Hu Yu sniffed the petals complacently, and then gently sprinkled them into the pool water beside him.

At this time, a black young man came to him coldly and laughed: "Senior brother, you are called a flower and a grass!"

Hu Yu turned his head and said unhappily: "What are you doing?

The young man who came was named Meng Biao, a senior brother of Hu Yu. Meng Biao smiled: "Pretending to be a literati, disgusting to death!" As he spoke, he pulled him away, and said: "There is an eagle squatting behind the rockery!" Hu Yu stopped and said: "What's so strange about squatting an eagle?" Meng Biao said: "Don't you love hunting, I see that eagle was injured by an arrow, let's catch it and heal it, and use it to hunt for us in the future, absolutely twice the result with half the effort, the scenery is infinite!"

The other two disciples were secretly watching the eagle by the rockery, and Meng Biao dragged Hu Yu over.

A goshawk crouched in the deep grass behind the rockery, and when it saw someone approaching, its wings fluttered, and it wanted to fly but couldn't.

Meng Biao confidently rolled up his sleeves, took a few steps forward, slammed a "tiger pounce", held the eagle down, and laughed: "How about the three junior brothers? This is called a toad eating swan meat!" A disciple laughed and said: "Be careful that it pecks you!" As soon as he said this, the eagle suddenly turned around and pecked. Meng Biao was unprepared, "ouch" screamed in pain, his left arm was pecked to blood, so angry that he raised his eagle and fell to the rockery, kicked and stepped on his feet, and scolded: "Dare to sneak attack Lao Tzu......"

Hu Yu and the others laughed.

This eagle was already injured, and this time it was beaten by Meng Biao again, and he died soon after. Meng Biao mentioned the dead eagle and said to the three people: "Let's go! Go back and stew it!" Hu Yu smiled: "It didn't offend us, but it was beaten to death by you, not only did it not feel guilty in my heart, but I also had to eat it, how could I bear it." Meng Biao wiped the blood and said, "If it pecks you, won't you be annoyed? Who knows that I can beat it to death? I, Meng Biao, don't have the heart of a bodhisattva like you, and I have never tasted the taste of eagle meat!" Meng Biao said, took out the short sword from his body, and walked straight towards the lotus pond. A disciple said to Hu Yu: "Let's go, take a look!" Hu Yu said calmly: "I'm not going, we should go back too." ”

Before Meng Biao reached the lotus pond, he turned back to the three and shouted, "Come and see!

The three of them walked over, and Meng Biao took out a paper tube from the depths of the feathers, and the two ends of the paper tube were sealed with wax, which was very secretive. Meng Biao said suspiciously: "It must be a letter!" Hu Yuqi said: "Is it a letter?" said and took the paper tube, and said: "If the person who sent the letter knows, he must die in a hurry! Meng Biao said: "Open it and take a look!" said and pushed the other two aside and said, "Go! Even if there is a treasure map in it, it won't be the turn of the two of you!" Hu Yu said hesitantly: "Open and look at other people's letters, but ......" Meng Biao said: "How are you mother-in-law and mother-in-law?" If you don't open it, just let Lao Tzu burn it down!" Hu Yu asked: "Who do you call Lao Tzu with?" Meng Biao smiled.

Hu Yu opened the paper tube and saw that it was a letter, so he read softly: "Your Majesty the Lord of the Chengsun Gang: The surviving son of the Yan family on Green Island, named Yan Long, is eighteen years old, and he wants to go to Tufan to practice martial arts and sword training in the near future. ...... Brother Sun quickly summoned all the brothers to ambush and kill them on the way, so as to avoid future troubles. Tuoyan Cave Jiao Rongbai hurried. ”

Meng Biao asked in confusion: "Who is Yan Long? Who is this Jiao Rongbai? Why do you want to intercept and kill him?" A disciple said: "What's strange, it's common for people to kill each other on the rivers and lakes. If you want to find out about this, take it back and show it to Master, or his old man must know. Hu Yu said: "Let's go back, but don't publicize this matter for the time being." ”
