PS: The second update, ask for votes, ask for praise, ask for subscription, there is another chapter before zero.
When the group entered the city, the people of Xiangyang City greeted each other and cheered loudly.
The appeasement made Lu Wende set up a celebration banquet in the house, and Yin Zhiping and Guo Jing were invited to go. Today, he was able to defeat the Mongolian army and relieve the siege of Xiangyang City, Yin Zhiping was the first merit, he was a single sword, disguised as a mixed Mongolian army, and successfully assassinated Kublai Khan, the commander of the Mongolian army who attacked Xiangyang, which was the key to the success or failure of this battle.
Guo Jing led the army out of the city to pursue and kill the defeated Mongol army, and then broke through the Mongol camp, expanding the results of this battle, which was also a great achievement. Lu Wende warmly entertained, and toasted again and again during the banquet, saying that he wanted to ask for credit for the two of them, and they would listen to the heavens.
Yin Zhiping was noncommittal, but Guo Jing said that he was just fighting for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and in order not to make the lives of the people miserable, his family was ruined, displaced, and suffered from military disasters. He led the martial arts heroes to help defend Xiangyang, but for this righteousness, it was the duty of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and he did not want to be rewarded.
Lu Wende praised Guo Jing's righteousness, and the generals and officials who accompanied him also praised Lu Wende and praised Guo Jing's righteousness and personality.
Guo Jing and these civil and military officials in Xiangyang are not all the way after all, they don't talk speculatively with them, and they don't have any common language. After accepting a round of wine from everyone, he said goodbye and left with Yin Zhiping. Yin Zhiping rarely spoke during the banquet, and then Guo Jing pulled him to say goodbye, and he also followed Guo Jing to say goodbye and leave.
Back at Guo Jing's mansion, a group of martial arts people had another celebration banquet. Guo Jing got along with these talents at ease, toasted each other with everyone, and laughed loudly. Yin Zhiping used the excuse of Quanzhen to teach the rules of abstaining from alcohol and meat. I only ate a few glasses of vegetarian wine and didn't drink much.
The night was filled with joy. Yin Zhiping returned to the backyard, but did not return to the small courtyard where he lived. Instead, he walked to a remote and uninhabited place where the lights were out of reach, stepped on the roof lightly, and quietly swept out of Guo's mansion from the roof.
When he went out of Guo Jing's mansion, he didn't get out of the house, and jumped directly onto the roof of another house adjacent to Guo's mansion. Through the continuous rooftops of the city and the cover of the night, he sneaked like a silent ghost into the mansion that pacified Lu Wende.
The celebration banquet in Lu Mansion at this time had already dispersed, and after Yin Zhiping and Guo Jing left, Lu Wende did not drink much. After coping with it for a while, after sending off the officials under his command, he rushed to his study to write a recital for meritorious service overnight.
When Yin Zhiping was invited to Lu Wende's mansion before, he paid attention to the layout of Lu Mansion along the way. At this time, according to memory, plus some inferences, he quickly found the location of Lu Wende's study.
The weather had already entered summer, and the window of Lu Wende's study was wide open, and there was a big tree outside the window to shade him. Yin Zhiping jumped from the roof of the house to the tree. Look through the window into the study. But seeing that Lu Wende was sitting behind the desk, he was writing hard with a candle. People who don't know the way of the road, looking at him, seem to be diligent and studious. What is being done? But I didn't know that I was more motivated to write this excerpt of the meritorious report, and Lu Wende didn't even need the staff who helped write the chapter and handle the paperwork on weekdays, and wrote it himself.
Suddenly, the candle flame flickered. A strong wind blew in from the window. Lu Wende looked at the faltering candle flame, put down his pen and got up to close the window. I was about to sit down and write again. When I looked down, I saw that the music on the table was missing. It's gone.
Lu Wende was busy rummaging left and right under the table on the table, and suddenly a voice sounded behind him, "Lord Lu, are you looking for this?"
Lu Wende couldn't help but be startled with "ah", and hurriedly turned around to look, but saw that Yin Zhiping didn't know when and how he entered his study, and at this moment he was holding most of the music he had written. At this time, he remembered the weirdness of the wind just now, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Could it be the wind brought by this Yin Zhi's square jumping in from the window?"
Thinking of this, I was even more shocked. People jumped over his head, and he didn't even notice it, and he didn't even see the shadow of the other party. If this man came to kill him, he probably wouldn't even know how to die. The high level of this person's martial arts is really incredible, and the strange way can take the head of Kublai Khan among thousands of troops and horses, and he can still retreat unharmed.
"Daochang Yin, why are you here?" Lu Wende broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, but he still forced himself to smile and said. Either way, it's familiar. If there was an unknown Assassin, he would not be allowed to speak. Although he knew that the other party would not come to visit the main gate late at night, it might not be any good intentions, but the other party's martial arts were too high, and he didn't have time to call the guards, so it was better to talk about it. The other party did not make a killer as soon as he came, and obviously wanted to talk.
Yin Zhiping said with a smile: "There is nothing to do in the middle of the night, I want to come and talk to Lord Lu." β
After hearing this, Lu Wende breathed a sigh of relief, Yin Zhiping really came to him to talk about things, not to ask for his life. Hurriedly pointed to the chair on the side and said with a smile: "Then Daoist Yin, please take a seat." β
Yin Zhiping was not polite to Lu Wende, went over and sat down, pointed to the chair under Lu Wende, and said, "Lord Lu, please sit down too." β
"It's good, it's good. Lu Wende sat down a little apprehensively, and asked with a scornful face: "Daochang Yin, do you want tea?" β
Yin Zhiping shook his head and said, "No need." β
Lu Wende said: "I don't know what Daochang Yin is looking for me, please talk about it." β
Yin Zhiping raised the chapter in his hand and asked, "Is this the chapter that Master Lu is writing?"
Lu Wende said: "Exactly." β
Yin Zhiping said: "At the banquet before, Lord Lu said that he wanted to ask for credit for me and Brother Guo's performance, why didn't the names of the two of us be mentioned in this recital? Moreover, we felt that Mongolia was cruel, the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, and for the responsibility of being the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the great righteousness of chivalry, we spontaneously took the initiative to come to help defend Xiangyang. I risked my life in the Mongol army of 100,000 to assassinate Kublai Khan, and in you, Lord LΓΌ, I just said lightly: 'Reprimanding the assassin in the army to assassinate the enemy chief and behead him.' The enemy army was leaderless, and was defeated'. β
Yin Zhiping actually expected this situation, and he didn't get angry at this time, but still looked at Lu Wende with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Lu Wende's face was embarrassed, frightened and panicked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he kept raising his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and his mouth was "this, this, this ......" for a long time, but he couldn't think of any excuse for explaining for a while.
"Lord Lu, before I went to assassinate Kublai Khan, I didn't mention this assassination plan to you. You don't even know that I am going to assassinate Kublai Khan today, and the clever plan I have worked on and meditated on has succeeded by chance, and it has all become your command? Lord Lu, you just grabbed the credit, why did you wipe out all my credit, and I didn't even mention my name, but I don't know what the reason is?" Speaking of the last sentence, Yin Zhiping's voice was raised, and his voice was cold. (To be continued......)
