Chapter 343: Searching the Mountains and Examining the Sea

In July of 1128 A.D. (the sixth year of Tianhui), Jin Taizong issued an edict to pursue Song Gaozong, who fled in Yangzhou, and Zong Bi led his headquarters to the south with Zong's auxiliary army. Zong's auxiliary army set out from Hebei, and Zongbi led his troops as the vanguard, and successively captured Puzhou, Kaide, Daming and other places. At the beginning of the seventh year of Tianhui, Zong Bi was promoted to the right supervisor of the marshal. Zong Han and Zong Fu sent tart lazy, Zong Bi, Pull out the speed, and Ma Wu to the south, and Song Gaozong fled south from Yangzhou. Zong Bi entered the Song Huainan West Road, marched into the Song Guide Mansion, attacked it, and Song Shou surrendered.

Zong Bi passed through the prefectures and counties all the way, broke with one blow, or surrendered without a fight, until he reached the north bank of the Yangtze River, and occupied the important town of Hezhou (now Hexian County, Anhui) in the north of the Song River. Zong Bi wanted to cross the river from Quarry Rock, but was blocked by Guo Wei of Song Zhi Taiping Prefecture at the ferry, and he was not allowed to cross for three consecutive days.

In November of 1129 A.D. (the seventh year of Tianhui), the Wanyan Wushu army crossed the river from Majia in the southwest of Jiankang Prefecture. The Song Dynasty naval army commanded Shao Qing only one warship, led eighteen sailors to intercept the attack, the captain Zhang Qing was hit by seventeen arrows, Shao Qing and others were defeated and retreated, and the Song Dynasty commander Chen Qu was killed. In November, Zong Bi led the army to cross the river, defeated the Song army led by Du Chongsuo, captured Jiankang, and assigned the generals to the near place, Zong Bi personally led the army to take the Song Guangde military road, Huzhou (now Zhejiang), to Lin'an Mansion (now Hangzhou). When Song Gaozong heard that Lin'an did not guard, he went to Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang).

Zongbi sent Ali and Pu Luhun as the vanguard to lead 4,000 elite soldiers to pursue Song Gaozong, and also sent Lu Bu and Shulie to quickly take Yuezhou. The Ali army broke through the Song army and approached Mingzhou, and Song Gaozong boarded the ship and fled into the sea. Zong Bi then led his army to arrive, taking the city of Mingzhou, Ali and Puluhun to Changguo County (now Zhoushan Island, Zhejiang). Captured Zhao Boge, the Taishou of Song Mingzhou, and learned that Song Gaozong had fled to Fuzhou via Wenzhou. He went into the sea to pursue again, but was blocked by the Song Sea Navy before retreating. Zong Bi led his army back to Lin'an.

February 1130 A.D. (8th year of the Heavenly Society). Zong Bi claimed that the search of the mountains and seas had been completed, and that he had returned a large amount of gold and silver looted from all over the south of the Yangtze River along the canal. Before leaving, the ancient city of Lin'an, which has hundreds of years of civilization, was burned. Burning and looting continued along the way, and the people of Jiangnan suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. In March, Zong Bi's army went to Zhenjiang.

Gusu, Murong Villa, because in the waters, the Jin army is not connected to waterways, so it is exempt from a difficulty. Murong Villa is peaceful and quiet, Murong Yu has been pregnant since she was pregnant. never left the villa for a single step, but it was Bai Yuxiao, who couldn't hold back the loneliness of the villa, and went out with Liu Feixue every one or two months. Both of them are chivalrous people, and when they saw Jin Bing bullying the people of the Central Plains, they were all angry, and they taught several people a lesson, but after all, their abilities were limited, and every time they killed Jin Bing. had to hide in Murong Villa for a month or two. On this day, the two of them went out of the villa again, only to learn that the Jin soldiers had withdrawn. took all the gold, silver and jewelry looted from the people with them, and was allowed to be reversed back to Yanjing. The two were overjoyed. Hurried back to the villa. The two returned to the villa and were about to tell everyone the good news, but they didn't expect it. Murong Yu's face was extremely ugly. The two of them could only hold back when they spoke. Liu Feixue walked up to Murong Yu and said, "Senior sister." What's wrong with you? What's going on?"

Murong Yu's tears flowed out of her eyes, and she said, "He's back、、、、、" Liu Feixue said strangely: "Who is back?" Senior sister. Who do you say is coming back?" Murong Yu didn't speak, but his face looked a little excited and a little disappointed at the same time. Liu Feixue hadn't seen Murong Yu's expression like this for a long time, and she knew that it must have been her and Bai Yuxiao who had been out for a few days, and something must have happened in the villa. So her curiosity sparked, and she was about to ask for an understanding, when Murong Yu had already taken out a sword from her arms and put it in front of Liu Feixue. When Liu Feixue saw it, her face changed greatly, and she said, "This is this, isn't it your Ziwei Soft Sword, Senior Sister, why is it back in your hands, who gave it to you?" Murong Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." I only know that I had already given him the Ziwei Soft Sword back then、、、、 "He, naturally, refers to Duguyun."

It turned out that this was the case, she gave the sword to Duguyun back then, and Duguyun always carried it with her. He once asked the messenger to ask Yue Fei. Yue Fei told her that when Dugu Yun was buried in the flood, he had also seen Dugu Yun use it to fight with the Snow Mountain Ancestor. Later, Duguyun disappeared, and the sword disappeared with it. Murong Yu has had a child in the past few years, and gradually she pinned all her love on the child, and her thoughts about Duguyun gradually faded. The child is a boy and is Duguyun's, in order to commemorate Duguyun, she named the child Duguyu. The word 'Yu' is the homonym of jade and cloud, and every day she calls Yu'er, just like she is calling Duguyun. Duguyu has been smart and clever since he was a child. Six months will be able to walk. At the age of more than a year, he has already begun to learn to speak. Now that he is more than two years old, he is already very sensible, and he listens to Murong Yu's words. But the only strange thing is that when he saw Bai Yuxiao and others practicing martial arts, he kept clamoring to learn martial arts. Although Murong Yu didn't agree very much, he just clamored to learn martial arts all day long. Bai Yuxiao was helpless, so he had to teach him a few tricks casually, although Dugu Yu was young, he could learn it as soon as he learned it. Even the pretentious Bai Yuxiao couldn't help but praise Duguyu, who will definitely be invincible in the world in the future. Bai Yuxiao loved him very much, in order to prevent Dugu Yu from getting hurt, Bai Yuxiao sharpened a wooden sword for him, and all day long, Dugu Yu wielded the wooden sword when he was fine, practicing everywhere.

Finally, on this day, when it was time to eat, Murong Yu couldn't find Dugu Yu, so he was in a hurry and was looking around, but he saw Dugu Yu coming out from under Saito with a sword in his hand. When Murong Yu saw Ziwei's soft sword, his whole body was shocked, and he hurriedly asked Dugu Yu, "Yu'er, who gave you this sword?" Dugu Yu shook his head and said, "I can't say." Murong Yu asked again and again, but Dugu Yu just said: "I promised my uncle, I can't tell others, mother, manly husband, if you have to talk, don't force me." As soon as Murong Yu heard the word uncle, he couldn't help but think of Dugu Yun in his heart. She was pleasantly surprised, looking around, calling Duguyun's name around, but there was a shadow of Duguyun anywhere, as if Duguyun had never appeared at all. But Murong Yu's intuition told her that Dugu Yun must still be alive, and he must have returned. It's just that I don't know why, Duguyun doesn't want to see her.

Murong Yu was excited and disappointed again, and her tears couldn't stop flowing. Back in the lobby, she was sullen all the time. She wanted to know something from Duguyu's mouth, but Duguyu just didn't speak.

At this time, the two understood. Liu Feixue also couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart. said: "Could it be that my brother Yun is really not dead." But it's been three years, why didn't he show up sooner or later, and only now?"

Bai Yuxiao picked up Dugu Yu and said in a low voice: "Yu'er, you tell your uncle, who gave you the sword?" Dugu Yu and Bai Yuxiao were the most affectionate, Bai Yuxiao asked this, he was originally going to say it, but when the words came to his mouth, he stopped again, shook his head and said: "No, I promised my uncle, I can't tell anyone, uncle, I know that you are good to me, but since I promised others, I must not say it." Uncle, this is what you taught me, saying that a manly man must be true to his word, so don't ask. ”

Bai Yuxiao said: "Okay, uncle won't ask, did the uncle say anything to you when he gave you the sword?" Dugu Yu tilted his little head and thought for a while: "Yes, yes, then the uncle said let me hand over this sword to my mother......" Bai Yuxiao said: "Then does he know who your mother is?" Dugu Yu said: "I don't know, I didn't ask?" Bai Yuxiao said: "Why don't you ask about such an important matter, does he carry a very big sword on his back?" Dugu Yu was confused by Bai Yuxiao's repeated words, and said: "Hey, uncle, how do you know that he has a big sword on his back?" Of course I've seen it, not only have I seen it, but I've also touched it, that big sword is heavy and big, very cold, uncle, it's not at all the same as the wooden sword you gave me, uncle, when will you be able to give me such a sword?" Bai Yuxiao smiled and said, "When you grow up, my uncle will give it to you." Saying that, he handed the wooden sword to Duguyu, who happily waved the wooden sword and went out to play.

When everyone heard the conversation between the two, they had already determined that the person was Duguyun. (To be continued......)
