Huang Taro was driving a small boat and singing fishing songs, he had been walking for an hour, and the speed of this wave was more than twice as fast as that of ordinary boats, and with the intricate waterways, if the warships of the official army wanted to come, I am afraid that they would not know how long it would take to walk.

The boat twisted and turned for a long time, and suddenly opened up in front of me, and I saw a large island in front of me, and a manor on the island was towering, and the courtyard wall of the manor was more than two feet high, and the centipede lanterns on the wall were tall, and there seemed to be people walking. Lu Ya looked back, there were reeds and aquatic plants behind him, and there was no land in sight, and he wondered in his heart, if the arrow tower in the small shop just now was for reporting information, how could the news be transmitted so far from the shore here?

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the setting sun was smearing the western sky, but it was already the beginning of the lanterns, Yin Lan was sitting on the bow of the boat, turned around and asked, "Uncle Yang, have you arrived?"

This time, I happened to see Lu Ya looking at him stupidly, his pretty face turned red, and he scolded: "Fool ......"

Lu Ya saw that her eyes were shining, and her heart beat faster for no reason, and she didn't dare to look at it again.

"Get off the boat," Yang Qinhu looked at the two people on the boat and said expressionlessly, "This is it." ”

Lu Ya couldn't help but ask as he got off the boat, "What kind of island is this?"

Yang Qinhu said: "Originally, this island also had no name, and later we named it Zhongyi Island in order to commemorate the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who died in the war. ”

Lu Ya nodded, and then look at the surroundings of Zhongyi Island are also full of rocks, there is not a single grass or tree, if you want to hide on the island, it is impossible to peep at the information, there is only a small pier on the shore, and the island is surrounded by huge stones to form a high wall, and ordinary ships in other places cannot dock. The area around the island has also been artificially repaired, and the lake is not only closer to the island and shallower, but the closer to the island, the deeper the water, which shows that this island is carefully built, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade will never be able to land on the island. This project is not ordinarily large, and the area of the island is not small, even if tens of thousands of people are hidden, it will not be a problem. Although the walled wall on the island is tall, the walled gate is very small, only allowing two horses to walk in parallel, the walled wall is driven by huge crossbow arrows, and the patrols are constantly coming and going, coupled with the rugged waterway when coming, the enemy can fly in addition to wanting to go to the island as if ascending to the sky.

Lu Ya pointed to the village and said: "The security here is so tight, especially compared to the Yashan Fortress back then." ”

Yang Qinhu smiled and said: "I don't know how much effort it took to this island, but unfortunately it was not completed ten years ago, otherwise history may be reversed." ”

Lu Ya disagreed in his heart, and said: "Although this village is not suitable for attack, but the Tartars are besieged, it will also be defeated, and it doesn't hurt for a month or two, but what if we are trapped for three or five years?"

Yang Qinhu said: "The officers and soldiers of the waterway brigade in front can't enter, how can they besiege it? Even if the team comes, they can be buried in Taihu Lake with the help of the water maze." Even if it is really besieged, Taihu Lake is rich in products, and even if you eat fish and shrimp every day, you can satisfy your hunger. ”

Lu Ya nodded, but he thought in his heart, this small walled city is really impregnable? At that time, the unification of the world by Mongolia was already the trend of the times, and it was really impossible to say whether a mere island could reverse history, but it was inconvenient to say this to Yang Qinhu.

Yang Qinhu came to the city walled, took out a token from his arms, engraved with the word loyalty, the minions guarding the village hurriedly opened the door, Yang Qinhu turned back to Huang Taro and said: "Taro, now that the matter is completed, you inform the brothers in Suzhou to withdraw." ”

Huang Taro agreed, turned and boarded the ship. Lu Ya and Yin Lan didn't understand what was going on in Suzhou, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

The three of them walked through the vestibule and came to the main hall, Lu Ya saw that this main hall was similar to the Jinluan Hall seen in the underground secret room, but it was more magnificent, and then looked at the people standing on both sides, they were all wearing black veils and wearing python robes of the Great Song Dynasty officials, some of them were the relics of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were all kinds of official titles such as Tai Lieutenant, Privy Envoy, and Squire. Some people Lu Ya also met a few times when they were young, and they were vaguely familiar, but they couldn't remember what kind of officials these people were at that time, and more people Lu Ya didn't have an impression, thinking that they were newly promoted, and it seemed that this place was like a small court in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In the middle is the dragon book case, behind is the dragon chair, Huang Luo umbrella, the palace maids on both sides are fanning, but no one is sitting on the dragon chair.

Sitting in front of the hundred officials was an old man, in his fifties, with a thin body, three locks of beard, haggard, and deep-set eye sockets, but his eyes were like electricity, very majestic.

As soon as Lu Ya saw that this person was Zhang Shijie, he hadn't changed much in ten years, but his hair had become gray, and he was thinner than before. Lu Ya's lips moved, but he didn't say anything, he wanted to call Uncle Zhang, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything, he hadn't seen him for ten years, and there were too many feelings that made him wonder, and he didn't know what to say.

Yin Lan ran to Zhang Shijie's side and said happily: "Dad." ”

Zhang Shijie was happy to see Yin Lan return safely, but it was not easy to express it in front of everyone, so he pulled Yin Lan aside and feigned anger: "You girl, where did you go? Although the tone is stern, it is also full of love.

Yin Lan knew that Zhang Shijie was worried about her, but he just grinned.

Yang Qinhu knelt on the ground, first kowtowed to the dragon chair, and then said to Zhang Shijie: "Yang Qinhu was ordered to destroy Xuanyuan Village, and he has completed the task, so he is here to hand over the order." ”

Lu Ya saw him kneeling on the ground, and Yin Lan was beside Zhang Shijie again, surrounded by unfamiliar faces. In the past ten years, he has only interacted with his master, senior brother and rhubarb, he has never seen such a majestic scene, although there are some familiar faces, but they are all old people ten years ago, some of those people are already old, and some Lu Ya can't remember who it is, let alone Lu Xiufu is there, as if everyone is looking at him with strange eyes, Lu Ya only feels boundless loneliness and doesn't know whether it is better to stand or kneel like Yang Qinhu.

Zhang Shijie also glanced at Lu Ya, vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he turned his head and said to Yang Qinhu: "Get up, how about Suzhou?"

Yang Qinhu said: "I have already attracted most of the Yuan soldiers to rush back to Suzhou, and the last general personally went to Xuanyuan Village to blow up the secret passage, and now he has sent someone to inform the brothers in Suzhou to evacuate." ”

Zhang Shijie said: "Well done." ”

Yang Qinhu continued: "The last general found Miss Yin and this strong man in the secret passage, please ask Taifu to decide." ”

Zhang Shijie looked at Lu Ya and asked, "Who is this little brother ......?"

Yin Lan whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Shijie stood up from the chair and exclaimed, "Oh?!" walked quickly to Lu Ya, grabbed Lu Ya's hand, and looked Lu Ya up and down, left and right, and Lu Ya was uncomfortable.

Then Zhang Shijie smiled and said: "Like, too similar, Ya'er, I really didn't expect you to be alive, do you still remember the old man? How did you survive after ten years of not seeing you? Where did you go after that night? Prime Minister Lu and I sent many people to look for you, but they didn't find you, we all thought you were no longer alive, I really didn't think that there would be a day to see you again today...... How old are you?"

Zhang Shijie knew that Lu Ya was not dead and was so excited that he lost his temper, back then he and Lu Xiufu owed too much to this child to save Zhao Yu, and it has always been a dead knot in his heart, and now how can he not be excited when he sees him still in the world, so he asked many questions at once, and Lu Ya didn't know which one to answer first.

Yin Lan hadn't seen Zhang Shijie so happy for a long time, so she said to Lu Ya: "It's really an old man who meets each other, don't you bow down to my father-in-law?"

Lu Ya woke up like a dream, and bowed down to salute: "Uncle Zhang, the younger generation also misses Uncle Zhang." ”

Zhang Shijie hurriedly held on: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite, good boy, you are much more sensible, the last time I saw you, you were still a little doll." When Yashan said goodbye to ......, "Speaking of this, tears actually swirled in the eyes.

Lu Ya was also affected, although he didn't have a relationship with Zhang Shijie, but when he saw his old man ten years later, he felt a little cordial, and he couldn't help crying. It is said that the man does not flick when he has tears, but he has not reached the sad place, thinking of the past, how can he not be sad?

"Uncle Zhang, my father...... Is he still here?"

Zhang Shijie wiped his tears with his sleeves and said, "Yes, your father is still there." However, he is not on the island, and I will arrange for your family to be reunited in a while. ”

Lu Ya's heart was sad, tears flowed down again, and he thought to himself, his mother is dead, and I am afraid that the family will never be reunited again.

Zhang Shijie only said that he was too excited, and he didn't care: "Ya'er, wait a minute, you and I will talk at night and tell Uncle Zhang what you have experienced over the years." ”

Lu Ya nodded yes, and Zhang Shijie introduced Lu Ya to the hundreds of officials present, and everyone was amazed and applauded.

Zhang Shijie said to the hundred officials again: "From now on, Lu Ya, the son of Lu Xiufu, is also one of my anti-Yuan righteous soldiers, and I will appoint you as a ...... on behalf of the emperor."

Zhang Shijie was muttering about giving Lu Ya an official good, and Lu Ya said: "Uncle Zhang, the little nephew doesn't want any officials, and besides, this matter must be reported to the family teacher." ”

Before Zhang Shijie could speak, Yin Lan said on the side: "Dad, you don't know anything, Lu Ya just arrived here, let's tell him to rest first." ”

Zhang Shijie said: "There are no rules and no distance, what kind of place is this? Then he said to Lu Ya: "Your father is still here, he is the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, you have grown up now, how can you not be an official of the Great Song Dynasty, why listen to your master?

Yin Lan said: "His master is the Jiangnan hero Xin Buping, who is very famous. ”

Yin Lan was happy to see Zhang Shijie rewarding Lu Ya on behalf of Lu Ya. But Lu Ya felt that it was not appropriate in his heart.

Zhang Shijie sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be a master disciple of Xin Daxia, since this is the case, you can be named a town hall general." ”

Lu Ya hurriedly refused: "Uncle Zhang, if the family teacher doesn't agree, I can't take on this position, besides, the little nephew has just arrived, and he has no merit, how can he be a general?"

Zhang Shijie was about to speak, and Yang Qinhu said on the side: "Taifu, what Little Brother Lu said is true, everyone who joins our righteous army must have a letter of nomination, and he may not be suitable for this important position if he has not made an inch." ”

Zhang Shijie said "um?" and said: "He is the son of Prime Minister Lu, what kind of name is accepted, he was born to be his own person." ”

Yang Qinhu said again: "Otherwise, Prime Minister Lu Cheng is now in Dadu, his identity may not be clear, and if he is hastily promoted to a knight, I am afraid that people will not be convinced." ”

Zhang Shijie said angrily: "Who dares to disagree with what I said?"

Lu Ya remembered that his father had said that Zhang Shijie was very authoritarian, but everyone worked for the Great Song Dynasty and didn't care a lot, and now he heard his tone really like this, so he said: "Uncle Zhang, what Lord Yang Zhuang said is very true, I really shouldn't be in this big position, and I have no intention of being an official...... Forget it. ”

Zhang Shijie shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then you can also accept a vote." ”

Lu Ya asked, "What is a letter of nomination?"

Yang Qinhu said: "Just kill a Tartar, and then leave the 'killer Lu Ya'." ”

Lu Ya was embarrassed, he was born unwilling to kill, although the rebels killed the Mongols, but what is the difference between this kind of unprovoked killing and those murderous soldiers, it is clearly the behavior of the robbers of the green forest, so he kept silent, did not say yes or no.

Seeing him hesitate, Zhang Shijie said: "Actually, this is also to ensure that there will be no betrayal among us and cut off the way back." ”

Lu Ya was still hesitating, and Yin Lan said: "It's not a big deal to kill a Tartar, didn't you also shoot that black leader before?"

Lu Yazhi said that she was referring to Montenegro, "At that time, there was really no way. ”

Zhang Shijie was overjoyed when he heard this: "Have you left your name?"

Lu Ya shook his head, "The situation was critical at that time, it was really ...... As a last resort. ”

Yang Qinhu said: "The previous one is not counted, it is only now that it has begun, so let's do it, Boyan and Sang Ge have come to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, these days we have made Suzhou a lot of trouble, you will ambush on both sides of the official road, if you have the opportunity to see a small number of Tartar soldiers or Mongolian untouchables who go out, you will kill one or two of them and come back, and then you will be considered a meritorious service, and you can be a town hall general." ”

Lu Ya said: "I really don't want to be a general......

Zhang Shijie said: "Why, do you see that we are now few and weak, and we look down on our righteous army?"

Lu Ya hurriedly said: "I don't mean ...... this."

Zhang Shijie smiled: "That's good, there is no need to say anything more about this matter, it's so decided." ”

In fact, Yang Qinhu deliberately made things difficult, he led the White Lotus Sect for many years, but he was never said by Zhang Shijie to be an official and promoted to a knight, at best, he was the leader of the church or the general of the pioneer battalion, and Lu Ya was about to be promoted as soon as he came, plus he was defeated by Lu Ya before, he was worried in his heart, so he asked him to accept what to vote for, you must know, how tight the wind is these days, if Lu Ya wants to commit a crime, it is really dangerous and abnormal.

Lu Ya has other plans, I don't need to join this so-called rebel army for a day if I don't accept the name, whether the Great Song Dynasty is restored or not, has nothing to do with me and my master, this Zhang Shijie is so domineering, I really don't want to be a general under him, it's better to be free.

When Lu Ya retreated, Yang Qinhu took the Eight Kings Sword on the line, Zhang Shijie received it in his hand, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Master Yang Zhuang, you can be regarded as a great achievement this time, not only received Lu Ya, saved the little girl, but also rescued the Eight Kings Sword, which is really good." ”

Yang Qinhu said: "Taifu, that kid surnamed Lu doesn't seem to be reluctant to join, why does Taifu insist on accepting him? ”

Zhang Shijie glanced at him with a smile, and said: "I know that you are not convinced, but what I promised to Lu Ya is just a vacant position, one does not give money, and the other does not give horses, General Zhendian, it is guarded on the island, everything is in my control, what are you worried about." ”

Yang Qinhu nodded: "I see." ”

Zhang Shijie said again: "He is the son of Lu Xiufu, I have already determined his appearance, you don't have to suspect, this person has no ambitions and no ambitions, but he can be taken in." Besides, his master is Xin Buping, maybe one day these people can be used by me, how can I miss this opportunity and let the good generals go elsewhere. If you want to achieve great things in the future, you still need people like you. ”

Yang Qinhu listened to Zhang Shijie's praise of himself, and his heart was happy, needless to say.

After that, Zhang Shijie took him and Yin Lan to take a brief look on the island, and instructed Lu Ya not to walk around at night, the island is also full of institutions, if there is no familiar person to lead the way, there is a worry about life.

Lu Ya naturally has nowhere to go, the pavilions on the island, carved beams and paintings, although the scenery is beautiful, it reveals indescribable fear and strangeness.

That night, he and Zhang Shijie drank on their knees, talked with candles and nights, Zhang Shijie said what the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, what to keep Dan to take care of the sweat, what to inherit the wishes of his father, etc., Lu Ya only nodded yes. He had witnessed the brutality of the Battle of Yashan, and the death of his mother in the war, and he was tired of the war in his heart, and he did not fully agree with the actions of the rebels.

Zhang Shijie saw that he had no intention of listening to these big truths, so he talked about his experience in the past ten years. Both of them felt that the world was impermanent, and they were full of emotion.

While he was talking, he faintly heard the singing of the soldiers outside: the world is long, chaotic, in a hurry for half a life, in a blink of an eye, drunk with Jun tonight, drinking wine in a cup, don't say vicissitudes, don't say sorrow.

Zhang Shijie and Lu Ya looked at each other and smiled, Lu Ya couldn't help but feel refreshed when he heard this song, the haze was swept away, and he raised his wine glass and said, "Uncle Zhang, do it." ”
