Chapter 9: The Departure of the Iraqi People (I)

After the noodles were served, Luo Tianchu asked Xiao Er: "Does the little brother know the recent situation of the Blood Knife Castle?" Xiao Er's face changed in fright, and he said in a low voice: "The guest officer eats noodles, don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said and turned around to leave, Luo Tianchu gave him a tael of silver, and said: "I have lived in seclusion for many years, and I don't know what has happened in these years, so I am curious to ask, and I ask the little brother to inform." Xiao Er put away the silver, looked around at no one, and said in a low voice, "The Blood Knife Castle is finished." Luo Tianchu was shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "How... Why is it over?" Xiao Er said: "After Luo Tianchu vomited blood and died three years ago, the morale of the Blood Knife Fort was depressed, Lu Fei and others worked hard in the Tiger Prison Pass for half a year, and were copied by the Jin soldiers, cut off the grain road, and had no choice but to break through and retreat to Luoyang, losing a lot of soldiers and horses. After the loss of the Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang had no danger to defend, and the Blood Knife Fort gave up Luoyang and Hangu Pass in order to protect itself, and returned to Guanzhong. ”

Such a result was expected by Luo Tianchu, and said: "There is Tong Pass as a barrier in the pass, it is not so easy to be broken by the Jin soldiers, right?" Xiao Er sneered and said: "Isn't it that the Song Dynasty set fire in the backyard, the Jin soldiers knew that they could not attack Tongguan, so they let the Song Dynasty attack on both sides, but I didn't expect Zhao Gou's official family to agree, and ordered Wu Jie to send troops from the monk Yuan to attack Chang'an, and it is rumored that Wu Jie did not send troops immediately after receiving the order, but went to Chang'an in the starry night to state that he was powerful, and persuaded the heroes of the Blood Knife Fort to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty." Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the Blood Knife Fort was indeed recruited, the whole army withdrew to the Monk Plain, and the Jin soldiers reoccupied Guanzhong without spending a single soldier. The soldiers of the Blood Knife Fort are all attributed to Wu Jie, but they are also safe, and the end is much better than that of the heroes of Liangshan. Luo Tianchu sighed in his heart and was silent, although he knew that Wang Tu's hegemony was all an illusion, but the Blood Knife Castle injected too much effort into him, and now things are not people, and the vicissitudes of life, how can he not be melancholy. ”

Xiao Er said: "Thank you for the silver, the little one might as well say one more news." The matter of the Blood Knife Castle was the old yellow calendar two years ago, and now the people are talking about Yue Fei the most. Luo Tianchu said curiously: "What's wrong with Yue Fei?" Xiao Er said: "He is in prison." Luo Tianchu was puzzled: "Yue Fei is in prison?" Xiao Er smiled mysteriously: "Not only Yue Fei, but also Yue Yun and Zhang Xian were thrown into prison together, and the crime was rebellion." Luo Tianchu knew Yue Fei's uprightness too well, his eyes widened, and he said: "Impossible, even if all the officials of the Song Dynasty are opposed, Yue Fei will not rebel." Xiao Er said: "Isn't it, the people all over the world hope that Grandpa Yue can drive away the Golden Tartar and give us an outlet for evil anger." It is rumored that Yue Fei's imprisonment is related to the upcoming Song-Jin Alliance Ceremony, and the only condition put forward by Jin Guo is that 'Yue Fei dies and then allies', which is the real reason for his imprisonment. Lin'an gathered tens of thousands of people to petition for Yue Fei, but was scattered by the soldiers, and one hundred and twenty celebrities signed a joint letter, and they also sank into the sea. "Then he gave up his hands and went down to work.

Luo Tianchu thought that Yue Fei was the last pillar of the Great Song Dynasty, and if even he died, then who would resist when the Jin army broke the treaty again and went south? Who would save the thousands of subjects of the Great Song Dynasty. Thinking of this, he made a major decision, and after meeting his friends, he would go south and return to his hometown of Lin'an to save Yue Fei.

He hurriedly finished eating noodles, walked out of the city for a long time and came to the seaside, the sea breeze was salty, the sea water was magnificent, and Penglai Island was difficult to see. Luo Tianchu walked along the beach, and suddenly saw an old man in front of him mending fishing nets, so he stepped forward and said, "Uncle, can you take a trip to Penglai Island?" The old man looked at him a few times and said, "Is the master going to seek immortals?" Luo Tianchu said: "No, I am not a monk in Xia, I am going to Sword Qi Villa." The old man said worriedly: "Almost no one from the people who went to challenge the Sword Qi Villa came back alive, did you really think about it?" Luo Tianchu said: "The old man misunderstood, he didn't go to the martial arts competition, but wanted to catch up with the owner of Liuzhuang." The old man said strangely: "Reminiscing about the old?, does the owner of Liuzhuang have an old relationship with you?" Luo Tianchu sighed and said, "In the next... Luo Tianchu. The old man was shocked, looked at the young man with unkempt hair and unkempt beard, and wore monk's robes with amazement, and finally nodded and said in a deep voice, "Get on the boat." ”

Luo Tianchu thanked him, jumped on the boat gently, the old man put away the fishing net, picked up the oars and rowed to the sea, and said: "You are lucky, the wind and the sun are beautiful today, and it is suitable for going out of the boat. Luo Tianchu was silent for a while, and said, "Are Lord Liu and Mrs. Liu okay?" The old man obviously heard about the matter between them, and said with a smile: "Lord Luobao really wants to inquire about Madame, right?" Luo Tianchu was embarrassed for a moment, so he had to admit: "Yes." The old man said: "The old man doesn't dare to discuss the matter of the owner of Liuzhuang, so the lord of the castle will ask in person." ”

After an hour, there is an island as big as a city in front of you, which is Penglai Island. Walk along the forest trail and enjoy the scenery of the island. Along the way, strange flowers and plants, ancient trees and clear streams emerge in endlessly, and it is as beautiful as a fairyland under the afterglow of dusk. Most of the islanders on Penglai Island are fishermen, and the 400 acres of land owned by Jianqi Villa are all cultivated land, all of which are rented to farmers to plant, and they collect rent and live without worry.

Luo Tianchu asked the islanders for directions and began to go up the mountain, and the Sword Qi Villa was halfway up the mountain with green mountains and green waters. Five into the compound, black door, black tile, white wall, simple and elegant, dignified and majestic. Luo Tianchu knocked on the door, and after a while, a young man in white opened the door and answered: "The owner of the village will not be a guest today, if you want to compete in martial arts, please come tomorrow morning." Luo Tianchu hurriedly said: "In Xia Luo Tianchu, he is a friend of the owner of the village, and he came to visit." The young man was stunned, looked at him curiously, and said, "Later, the castle master, let me go and tell him." ”

After a stick of incense, the courtyard door opened again, and the young man said, "The castle master, please come with me." Luo Tianchu followed him into this legendary mountain villa. The buildings in the courtyard are all simple and pure, there are not many servants, and there is no noise to hear, these servants are all handsome young men and beautiful girls, all dressed in white.

They all heard the wind and came to admire Luo Tianchu's honorable face, whispering on the side, with a look of disgust in their eyes. Luo Tianchu followed the young man to a wooden house hidden in the bamboo forest in the third entry, the bamboo forest is verdant, the path is deep, and the wooden house is simple and elegant, this is where Liu Shaoqing meets acquaintances, and the hall in the front yard is to meet the enemy. The young man invited Luo Tianchu to sit down, served fragrant tea, and said, "The owner of the village will come out of the house later, please wait for the owner of the castle." After saying that, he closed the door and left. (To be continued.) )
