Chapter 211 Chapter Thirty-Eight

Chapter Thirty-Eight Since the public was tied up, the minister of power ordered his party members to be arrested, so that all the generals would hold the military power, and they would slow down. The eldest son, Ziyun, was sixteen years old. He watched the battle in Huaixi from the stone. He was known for his bravery.There is a female named Yujin, who is seventeen years old and is also good at fighting. She wears silver armor, rides a white horse, carries a spear and a bow, and goes out side by side with Yun, regardless of Xuanjin. In the thirteenth year of Tongtai, the Empress Dowager wanted to make Yun honor Princess Shuning, who was virtuous and virtuous, and everyone envied her. Xu Zhi.

When the imperial envoy arrived at Shouchun, Shigong loved his daughter to avoid disaster and Shouchun, and Guan wanted to hand her over to the imperial envoy's custody. Yujin was furious when she heard about it, and took her daughter out of the city regardless of her weight. All were killed and injured, and the two daughters were nowhere to be found.The imperial envoy was afraid, and feared that the cloud would not be bound, and urged Guanti's army to Zhongli. Seeing the reason, it was too late, and after five days, the army was raised, and when they arrived at Zhongli, Yun waited for a long time. Hearing the edict, he said: "The Lu family is loyal, and heaven and man will learn from each other."At that time, Yun led the battalion of flying cavalry, and the elite was the best in Jianghuai.

——"The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties.Zhongwu Gongzhuan On the third day of October, Chuzhou. Pei Yun stood on the Zhenhuai Building, his mind was depressed, and the autumn scenery in front of him lost its brilliance. The result of the Jingxiang battle had already reached his ears, and the intricacies of the war made him dumbfounded. The fierce battle in Gucheng, the confrontation in Xiangyang, all kinds of changes are eye-catching, and the loss and gain of Xiangyang are even more puzzling, until the news that Lu Can was lifted from the military power by Zhao Long, the lord of Southern Chu, and called into Jianye Only then did Pei Yun vaguely understand that the bloody battle in Jingxiang and the change of hands in Xiangyang were all for Lu Can.But even after he figured this out, Pei Yun became more and more horrified.

Military strategists say that Jingxiang is an important place in the world. The Yangtze River runs across the east and west, connecting Wu and Shu. It is also convenient to enter Hunan and Jiangxi from the great river; Guanzhong, northbound to Nanyang, Luoyang, or water or land, there are all passages. If you want to win the world, you must occupy Jingxiang.Within the territory of Jingxiang, Xiangyang, Jiangling, and Jiangxia are all important military towns, and Xiangyang is the most important military town. Southern Chu occupies Xiangyang, which can go north to the Central Plains, and Dayong occupies Xiangyang, which can deter Jingxiang.As early as the beginning of Dayong's founding of the country, he had been spying on Xiangyang from time to time, but at that time Xiangyang was guarded by Prince De Zhao Jue, and it was as stable as Mount Tai. It is the hatred in the hearts of Dayong soldiers.It wasn't until the eighth year of Longsheng that Jiang Zhe devised a plan to take advantage of Yang Xiu's opportunity to attack Huaidong to lure the enemy northward, and only then took advantage of the gap to capture Xiangyang.Once Xiangyang fell into Dayong's hands, Southern Chu would have no chance to counterattack. Although Lu Can defended Jiangnan as solid as gold, he was powerless to endanger Dayong's foundation.

Considering the importance of Xiangyang, even Emperor Yong's imperial conquest would definitely not dare to abandon such an important town easily, but Jiang Zhe actually took such a heavy place as a bait and let it go gently. Although Xiangyang was finally taken back, after the fire, only the dilapidated isolated city , the people of Xiangyang went south one after another, and it will be difficult for Xiangyang to restore its old outlook within a few years. Regardless of Jiang Zhe's handwriting, what worries Pei Yun even more is that, according to the information he received from Shaolin, the battle between Yong Emperor Li Zhi and Li Zhi was in advance. He didn't even know it, Jiang Zhe acted on his own.Leaving aside the dangers of this battle, Pei Yun was terrified by Jiang Zhe's courage. If Emperor Yong questioned him, it would be a felony that would be hard to recover.If it is someone else, they may still watch with cold eyes. Jiang Zhe's favor has already made many people dissatisfied. When the war was cemented, he still played among the mountains and rivers, and did not ask about military affairs, which made many impeachment memorials on Emperor Yong's case. , Committing such a serious crime now, I am afraid that even Princess Ningguo Changle can't protect him.Some people might want to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, but Pei Yun couldn't think so. Let alone Jiang Zhe's son, Jiang Shen, was a closed disciple of his mentor, even he had received much support from Jiang Zhe in recent years.Three years ago, when Yang Xiu attacked Chuzhou and Sizhou, Pei Yun could be said to have lost, and Luo Jing, the prefect of Chuzhou, was assassinated, which greatly offended the uncle Gao Rong. Many ministers in the court wrote letters, wanting Emperor Yong to condemn Pei Yun, if it wasn't for Jiang Zhe's support, and Emperor Yong recalled the merits of saving him in the past, I am afraid that Pei Yun is now a prisoner.In the past few years, Pei Yun has recharged his energy and recharged his batteries, and the Xuzhou battalion has fully recovered. It is the time when he is eager to fight. If Jiang Zhe is demoted, Pei Yun is deeply afraid that he will also be implicated. Once he loses his military power, won't he be defeated again Compared with ordinary people, Pei Yun was most worried about Jiang Zhe's situation.

Pei Yun, who was full of worries, didn't even hear Du Lingfeng's footsteps going upstairs. He didn't react until he heard Du Lingfeng's voice in his ears. He only heard Du Lingfeng report: "General, there is a book from Xuzhou. According to the decree, Prince Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Changsun were reprimanded, while Marquis Jiang was demoted by two ranks of title, and later an edict was issued to remove Lord Marquis from the post of Jiangnan Xingyuan Counselor." Pei Yun's heart was shocked, but he hid the worry in his heart, and said with a serious face: "The Holy One is so angry, it is inevitable, but there is no one in the court to protect him, no matter what, Xiangyang is still in the hands of our army."

Du Lingfeng hesitated for a moment and said: "The news from Chang'an said that the emperor was furious when he heard the battle report. Although Prime Minister Shi and the other lords had a lot of sympathy, Xiahou Yuanfeng, the Minister of Mingjian, took the opportunity to play and criticized Jianghou for being negligent. Duty, and the whereabouts of Marquis Jiang in the past three years have been reported one by one. The emperor was furious and issued an order to reprimand the Marquis. I can't keep it anymore." Pei Yun sighed softly in his heart, turned his eyes, but saw that Du Lingfeng also had a sense of uneasiness on his face, so he smiled and said: "Since you went to Xiangyang with Jianghou last time, even mentioning Jianghou's name is trembling. Sin, you should be happy, why is it like this."

Du Lingfeng said embarrassingly: "It's no wonder Ling Feng, my uncle didn't know, the last time I went to Xiangyang with Jianghou, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. At that time, Jingxiang belonged to Southern Chu, and Jianghou actually lingered in Xianshan for many days. I am always worried, if the Chu army finds out that Jiang Hou has been injured, not to mention his life is in danger, I am afraid that the division will be implicated, but Jiang Hou does not care about us guards at all, and even went to look at the Xiangyang city tower. General Huyan and several guards are also trembling, fearing that something will happen. No wonder people say that Jianghou has a weird temperament. Ling Feng only hopes that he will never have to serve him again. But now that Jianghou has been convicted, the disciple feels uneasy. It's not for the sake of the uncle. The uncle has always been very indifferent to fame and wealth. The emperor also thinks highly of the uncle. If it is demoted, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous."

Pei Yun's heart skipped a beat. He never thought that this nephew, who was always straightforward and not very scheming, would have such spiritual thoughts. His master Cizhen once said that Jiang Zhe is a man with profound wisdom, deep scheming, cunning and treacherous, and there are evil shadows around him. If Li Shun was such an expert attendant, if he had no restraints and let him be free, he was afraid that a mistake in his mind would cause shocking chaos.Fortunately, this person was used by Emperor Yong. Although he pitied the heroes of the world, he was able to promote the unification of the country.Just now when he learned that Marquis Jiang was demoted, he felt worried. If Jiang Zhe alienated Yong Ting because of this, and even escaped into the lake and sea, it would be unlucky for the world.Unexpectedly, Du Lingfeng also vaguely thought of this place. It seems that after many years of experience, this nephew is no longer the reckless young man he used to be. With a slight smile, Pei Yun said: "Come to my place these few nights, I want to see your progress."

Du Lingfeng was overjoyed when he heard the words. He knew that his uncle was going to teach him martial arts, so he couldn't help rubbing his fists. Pei Yun looked at it with a smile in his heart, and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired too. Let's go to Du's House for a drink." Since three years After the shocking changes in the former Chuzhou, Du's restaurant became famous in Jianghuai. Zhuang Qingpu's act of avenging his teacher and Du's green plum wine were praised together in Jianghuai. It's all about going to the restaurant. Today he was depressed, so he wanted to go to the Du's House to relax.

Although Du's House is well-known in the Jianghuai area, it is still the same as it used to be, it has not been expanded, and green plum wine has never been brewed a few jars more than before. If it weren't for a momentary talent, it would be difficult to buy a jar of green plum wine even if it paid a lot of money. If it was a suave and romantic person, even if it was penniless, it would still be possible to get good wine as a gift.As a result, the reputation of green plum wine has become more and more famous. Many ordinary people who can't drink green plum wine will probably drink a few cups of Du's old wine. outside the gate.But Pei Yun naturally needn't worry, there is a seat on the upper floor that is left unused all the year round, just to be on guard against someone like Pei Yun, or famous people from Jianghuai coming here by chance, but there is no seat. After changing into casual clothes and walking on the street, Pei Yun felt much better. When he arrived at Du's House, shopkeeper Du came out to greet him after hearing the news, but he showed some weird expressions on his face. Pei Yun didn't pay attention, and just walked up to the second floor , I heard a clear and warm voice saying: "Dawn mist locks the Qin Tower, adding to the sorrow of separation. The wind pours the lamp into the golden Ou. It is difficult to keep singing at the Yangguan. This hatred is long. The green plums are full of sleeves, and the snow flakes are scattered. Brewed over the years Make Du's wine. After drinking, stand alone in a light boat, and get drunk. Zhuang Qingpu's poem has a profound artistic conception, which shows his talent. It is a pity that he died young." Pei Yun was slightly taken aback. Although Zhuang Qingpu was respected and loved by the people of Chuzhou, he was the one who assassinated the county guard after all, so few people praised him in public like this, so as not to fall into the ears of Yong Jun and cause trouble. As soon as he heard it, he felt that he was from Chang'an. Since he was from Yong, why did he praise Zhuang Qingpu so unabashedly? Feeling suspicious in my heart, I couldn't help but hesitate, but I heard a familiar voice saying: "Although there is nothing wrong with Ziliang's words, you should be careful about what you say." Pei Yun was even more shocked when he heard the words. This person had just been demoted, but why did he come to Chuzhou again? He turned his gaze, and found that there were some guards sitting around upstairs except for some guards who could tell they were elite at a glance. There were no local drinkers, and he was even more shocked. He tidied up his clothes, stepped forward and bowed to the side room where the voice came from, and said, "Master Hou stooped to come here, why didn't you tell Pei Yun, so that the last general can hold a banquet for you?" Master Hou is the one who takes the wind and washes away the dust." Jiang Zhe's elegant voice came from the curtain and said: "Jiang has now been relieved of his position as a counselor. If it weren't for His Majesty Long En, I am afraid that the title would not only be lowered by two levels. Why should General Pei be so courteous? Come here today , I just thought of the green plum wine here, but luckily Lao Du still left a few jars, so I don’t know why I’m going to go back and forth in vain.” Pei Yun stepped in through the curtain, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is not surprised by favor or humiliation, and you will admire him in the end, but I think His Majesty will understand Hou Ye's painstaking efforts and make Lu Can lose his military power. Even if he loses Xiangyang, he may not be unable to come back, let alone Xiangyang I haven't lost it yet." I couldn't help but secretly wonder who Fang Shen was who Jiang Zhe called "Zi Liang", and it sounded like Jiang Zhe's voice was full of respect.Walking into the wing room, Pei Yun was startled. He saw that Jiang Zhe was sitting with Jiang Zhe tasting wine and chatting. He was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with a handsome appearance. Uncommon, his power is concealed but not revealed, but what shocked Pei Yun was that the young man was actually Prince Li Jun, the deputy commander of Jiangnan Xingyuan. With countless thoughts in his mind, all kinds of thoughts flashed by, Pei Yun knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general kowtowed to His Royal Highness for a thousand years, a thousand years old, I didn't know that His Highness was coming, and I didn't greet him personally. Please forgive me." Li Jun got up, stretched out his hand to support him and said: "General Pei is flat, and the general is guarding Chuzhou, so that the Southern Chu Huaidong Army cannot go north to Qingxu. They have worked hard and made great achievements. I always know that and I am grateful. Please don't be too polite." Jiang Zhe, on the other hand, looked lazy, sitting motionless on the table, but he didn't see any strangeness in Li Jun. Pei Yun recalled that he had heard people say that Prince Li Jun and Jiang Zhe were very close, and now it seemed to be true. Without the frustrated look that one should have after being relegated, and with Li Jun's obedience to follow, the worries in his heart were swept away, and he stood up and said calmly: "Your Highness and Lord Hou have come to Chuzhou in obedience. After the military order is issued, we will go south to wash away the humiliation of the defeat that day, and please give instructions from Your Highness." I couldn't help yawning, and thought to myself: "Pei Yun has probably been bored these past few years. Shuzhong, Jingxiang, and Huaixi are all fighting fiercely every year. Only Huaidong is almost calm. When I saw Li Jun wants to call for a fight, he is really in a hurry." Looking at Li Jun, who was talking to Pei Yun in depth but earnestly, his heart became more and more depressed.This time, he planned to drive apart the generals and ministers of Southern Chu, and even set up a plan to consume the hostile forces greatly, but he also had the heart to retreat bravely, so he deliberately concealed some key things and did not tell Li Zhi, especially in the past. I have been unrestrained for three years. As expected, after the Battle of Xiangyang, the impeachment of me was like a snowflake. Li Zhi was also furious and demoted my military rank.This was within my expectation, and it was just enough for Nanchu Hunjun to deal with Lu Can with peace of mind.As for the shock of losing Jun En, Li Zhi's support is not needed for the next thing anyway.I was still thinking that after this incident, I would take advantage of the situation and retire, so as not to see the defeat of my motherland.Unexpectedly, just now he was content to hear the decree of reprimand, but he secretly received the secret decree of reward. Li Zhi didn't blame me for acting without authorization, and even said that the loss of Lu Can in Nanchu alone would be better than ten cities.Seeing that the plan of escape has come to naught again, how can I not feel bitter in my heart, if it is not that I still can't forget the unfinished business of Nanchu, I really wish I could get out of it immediately.It's just that I don't know how things are progressing over there. Presumably within a month or two, there will be results. On December 5th, Jianye. When Yu Lun walked out of Shang Chengye's private house, it was already midnight, and the light snow that had been fluttering and drifting for a day had stopped at some point in the daytime. In the dark night sky, there was no light of stars and moons at all. In the middle, he could only dispel the darkness around Zhangxu, Song Yue only felt that his heart was as bleak as this night.I don't know how long he walked in a daze, Yu Lun stopped, and there was already a black lacquered wooden door in front of him. A green palace lantern was hung on the door. The light was not very bright, but in Song Yue's heart, he felt that this was the place in the darkness. The only silver lining.Here is Liu Rumeng's residence in Jianye Liuyuan.Since the beginning of winter, the cold has doubled, so Liu Rumeng abandoned the boat and came to live in the city. Although the willow garden is not big, it is quiet and elegant, which often makes people feel reluctant to go back.He stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but Yu Lun suddenly felt timid. He stretched out his hand in the air, but he couldn't move any further. I vaguely remembered that before leaving today, Liu Rumeng was holding a red paper umbrella in her hand, and she was standing in the snow in plain clothes to see each other off. She lightly opened her cherry lips and said, "Sir, even though Rumeng is a man in the world, she also knows that the big General Loyalty, Mr. Monk is on good terms with you. If you can persuade him to make a tactful statement to the Prime Minister and avoid the dispute between the general and the prime minister, it will be a blessing for the country. If the orchids are frosted and the jade pillars collapse, wouldn’t it be self-destruction of the Great Wall? Make relatives feel sad and hate quickly." But how did I do it? When Shang Chengye told himself worriedly that Shang Weijun was still hesitant, he said: "It doesn't matter whether General Lu rebelled, it's just that Shang Xiang offended you so much this time." General, I don't know if the general will forget about this matter, this time the general was arrested without a fight, and he ordered the generals not to make trouble, but I don't know if he will be so willing to sacrifice his life and death for honor and disgrace next time, allowing the prime minister to add crimes." Seeing Shang Chengye's thoughtful expression, Yu Lun knew that Lu Can was one step closer to death. In less than two months, the world has turned upside down, not to mention Dayong. Since the Battle of Xiangyang, King Qi and the Crown Prince have been reprimanded, and even Jiang Zhe, who has always been favored by the emperor, has been demoted and fined. There is even news that Jiang Zhe's military post has been dismissed by Emperor Yong, and even the Yong army shows signs of shrinking the defense line. All the signs indicate that the war that has lasted for several years may stop. The contradiction became more and more acute. Since Lu Can was released to Jianye, the lord Zhao Long just met him in a hurry and sent Lu Can to prison. Lu Can's wife and children who stayed in Jianye were also placed under house arrest. Even Lu Yun, who was leading the army in Huaixi, After being taken into Beijing by Tiqisuo, only Lu Can's son Lu Feng, third daughter Lu Mei and eldest daughter-in-law Shi Xiu disappeared.But Lu Feng and Lu Mei are both minors, and Shi Xiu is the daughter of Shi Guan. For the sake of Shi Guan's knowledge and interest, Shang Weijun will not go too far, and just ordered to arrest her.However, although he didn't care much, Fengyi Sect is full of masters, searching for the whereabouts of the three people, Yu Lun didn't know why Fengyi Sect was so nervous, and it took a while to learn about the original Fengyi Sect from Shang Chengye. A master went to Huaixi to assist the imperial envoys in arresting the members of the Lu clan, but they disappeared without a trace. Shang Chengye was just gloating when he mentioned this, but Yu Lun secretly speculated in his heart, whether it was a secret operation? I don't know how long he was at a loss, Yu Lun suddenly felt a ray of sword energy coming from the dark place, his long experience of life and death made him wake up immediately, his figure flashed, and his figure had already avoided the sword energy like a ghost, his figure was like a piece of Sticking to the wall like a dead leaf, his eyes were piercingly looking into the darkness, his eyes were full of vigilance, although the sword energy had no killing intent, but Yu Lun did not dare to ignore it at all, the folding fan in his right hand pointed forward, and said coldly : "Who is watching here?" A clear voice came from the dark alley and said: "Forgive me, Mr. Song. I have been waiting here for a long time for your return. I wanted to visit you. Unexpectedly, you stood in front of the door for a long time. I was afraid that you would catch the cold, so I used some methods to wake you up." , and please don’t blame me, sir.” At this moment, Yu Lun has recovered his icy state of mind, lowered his eyes and remained silent, knowing that he was restless just now and didn't notice someone in the dark, but that person must be a master, otherwise he would not have deceived his eyes and ears so easily.With a lot of thoughts in his mind, Yu Lun said coldly: "Song is just a frivolous prodigal, what can you tell me?" The man was silent for a moment and said: "Sir, you have a good relationship with the son of the prime minister, and everyone in Jianye knows about it. Now the general is falsely imprisoned, and he doesn't know how he will live or die, and no one knows where the prime minister will arrest the general, so I take the liberty Come to ask, Mr. is magnanimous, he is not greedy for power, everyone in Jianye knows about it, even Shang Chengye can’t take Mr. into the curtain, I think Mr. knows the loyalty of the general, please give me your advice.” Yu Lun's heart turned cold. It's not surprising that this person knows that he has a good relationship with Shang Chengye, but how does he know that he can know where Lu Can is imprisoned, and that there are not many people who know that he can influence Shang Chengye deeply. What is it? What if a person betrays himself?Thinking of Liu Rumeng in the courtyard behind her, she was one of the people who knew, and in the past two months, she had repeatedly persuaded herself to do her best for Lu Can, could it be that she had betrayed herself.Uncontrollable anger grew in his heart, and an unyielding look flashed in his eyes. He said sharply, "I do know what your Excellency wants to ask, but it's impossible for me to say it." In his spiritual awareness, he realized that there were two people in the dark, one of them had strong sword energy, and the other had deep internal strength. Although he felt that if these two people joined forces, he would have little chance of winning, but he became more determined and had the desire to fight to the death. Heart. The man in the dark seemed to have sensed the change in Chaolun's momentum, sighed softly, walked out of the dark alley, and moved to the door. The dim light shone on his gentle and handsome face. The long sword, full of domineering sword aura, stared at Yuelun's face faintly, with a faint look of regret in his eyes. Yue Lun took a step forward, shaking the folding fan lightly in his hand, and the beauty on the fan seemed to appear, but there was a hint of aloofness in his carefree figure. The civilian scholar clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Song has misunderstood something. I don't mean anything malicious. I just want to know the situation of General Lu." Yu Lun said coldly: "The life and death of the general is a matter of the imperial court. What has it to do with you? You are just a commoner. You have not been paid by the emperor, and you are not a child of a family. Why bother with these trivial matters?" The commoner Confucian scholar sighed: "Sir, what you said is wrong. For two months, the general has been imprisoned, and everyone in Southern Chu is worried about him. Not only the civil and military officials have written letters to protect him, but even the commoner scholars have complained about him. The rise and fall of the country, why don't you do our business, Mr. has no intention of being rich and honored, wandering around in the world, I heard that Mr. is a man, and I respect him in my heart, why he refuses to tell the truth, is it possible that he is dedicated to defending the traitor who misunderstood the country?" Yue Lun sneered and said: "Your Excellency is deceiving yourself and others. Although the general has made great contributions to the country, he is loyal and upright. The Southern Chu family and civil and military officials respect him a lot, and hate him even more. Look at how many people have written to complain of grievances." He is an official of the third rank or above, so what about his confidants? Yang Xiu was silent, but he just wrote a few memorials to defend himself, and even took over the Huaidong military power with one hand, and secretly made friends with the monks. Not only did Shi Guan His son-in-law was handed over to Shang Xiang, and he was even more willing to cling to the powerful. Yu Mian wanted to send troops, but it was a pity that Rong Yuan blocked the river and forced him back. There are three memorials to impeach the general, and the last one directly accuses the general of collaborating with the enemy, so that the traitors of Southern Chu escaped from death and recovered Xiangyang. These two charges are even more vicious. There is no shadow, but these two crimes can’t be explained clearly. Leaving aside this person, no one in these powerful families in Nanchu now wants to kill the general so as to snatch the military power left by him. Even if there is someone like you What's the use of the characters worrying about the general? Your Excellency can only deceive Song Mou alone, even if Song Mou told you where the general was imprisoned, what ability do you have to rescue him?" The man was silent for a moment, but the man in the dark couldn't bear it anymore, walked to the light and said coldly: "How do you know that the general has a heart? If it wasn't suppressed by the general, I am afraid that Nanchu is already a beacon." It's just that if the general is really killed, I'm afraid those soldiers who are loyal to the general will not be able to bear it anymore, as long as you tell where the general is imprisoned, we will not make things difficult for you." It is clear under the light, this The person who came later was a Taoist priest with a yellow crown. Yue Lun smiled coldly, and shook his fan intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to continue arguing with the Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, while the fan was opening and closing, a black light suddenly shot from the fan bone to the throat of the Taoist priest with the yellow crown. Unexpectedly, Yue Lun's attack would be so fierce, he couldn't guard against it, and the hidden weapon was about to take his life, but the sword light flashed, and the black light was knocked aside, the civilian scholar was holding a long sword, his eyes were full of anger , Said: "If you use such methods, you must be a cruel and ruthless person. Watch the sword." Before the voice fell, a sword light like a sword had already struck in front of Yu Lun. Yu Lun dodged and flew back, shaking the folding fan in his hand, blocking the sword's momentum, the sword and fan intersected, and Yu Lun's face changed slightly, the civilian Confucian scholar's inner strength was peaceful and deep, much stronger than him, and he almost lost his folding fan with one sword.Probing out the depth of the enemy, he stretched out his body after crossing the wheel, just wandering around, looking for an opportunity to strike, the swordsmanship of the civilian Confucian scholar was upright, he guarded tightly, and his attack was steady, just like a famous general leading an army to attack a city, without any gaps at all. Yu Lun was worried, this kind of swordsmanship was the most suitable for his assassin's first-class martial arts, unless he took advantage of his unpreparedness, it would be very difficult to have a chance of success.Yue Lun was troubled in his heart, and the commoner Confucian scholar was also shocked. This young man's martial arts were treacherous and fierce, and he walked in his sword, swaying freely, but as soon as he showed his flaws, he would attack him like a ghost After only a few moves, the commoner Confucian felt a strange feeling in his heart, this young man must be a killer with bloody hands, otherwise he would not have such skill and murderous aura.However, although the Confucian scholar felt a little uneasy, his sword momentum became more and more stable. The two of them fought less than a hundred moves. Although they were evenly divided on the surface, Yu Lun faintly felt that his martial arts had been suppressed by the opponent's swordsmanship, and a strong killing intent arose in his heart, so he simply launched a move that would hurt both sides. When the swordsman made a decision, for some reason, he felt in his heart that if Liu Rumeng betrayed himself, it would most likely be because of this person, so he felt more and more hatred towards him. The Confucian scholar frowned deeply. He got the information. This Song Yu knew a lot of news that he wanted to know. Moreover, this person came and went alone, and his temperament was quite noble. He should be able to move him with affection, so he did it When I came to inquire about it, I didn't expect this person to be desperate for some reason. Although he would win in the end, if he killed this person, firstly he would lose the opportunity to hear the news, and secondly, he would startle the snake.With a light thought in his mind, he frowned and said: "Mr. Song, if you don't stop, I'm afraid my brother will offend you." After finishing speaking, he continued to show his sword momentum, forcing Chao Lun into more embarrassment, and retreated again and again.Just as Yu Lun took the third step, the Taoist with the yellow crown flew up, with a dust whisk in his hand, and headed towards the back of Yu Lun.The two had a tacit understanding, they just wanted to tap the young man's acupuncture points to restrain him.Unexpectedly, Yu Lun seemed to have expected it a long time ago, just when the Taoist was able to touch the heavy hole in his vest, his figure turned like a civet cat, and in spite of the bad luck of the long sword piercing his heart, the folding fan in his hand shot out three strands of black Light, the Taoist didn't expect that he would fight himself desperately, seeing that he was about to die under a hidden weapon, he couldn't help roaring. At this moment, in the silent and dark night came three zither-like zither sounds, like sharp blades from the underworld, passing through a space of more than ten feet, and the black light shot from the wheel unexpectedly broke from it. The long sword in the hands of the Taoist priest with the yellow crown and the fly whisk in the hands of the Taoist priest with the yellow crown were both deflected by an invisible force, but it was only a slight difference, and the tragedy of mutual injury had been avoided, and the three of them were stunned for a while. At this time, a young man in black came out from the darkness, covered his face with a black veil, walked up to him and bowed and said: "Young Master Song, you have offended me so much, please don't take offense for the sake of our acquaintance." Although this man was masked, Yue Lun recognized his identity at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face, he said anxiously: "What's going on? Bai, brother Bai." The man bowed and said: "Please forgive me, Mr. Song. Daxia Ding wants to do his best for the general, but he doesn't know where the prison is, so it is difficult to do it. Moreover, if it is not for the murder of the emperor by a traitor, it is inconvenient to rescue the general without authorization. In order to get accurate information, Ding Daxia There is an old relationship in the pavilion, so I ask, the pavilion master knows that Mr. Song may know the inside story, for the sake of righteousness, he has to go against the promise of the past, and guide Daxia Ding to find the young master, if offended, please forgive me." Yu Lun's complexion changed several times, his eyes gradually cleared up, he looked at his old colleagues in front of him, and then glanced into the darkness, he hesitated to speak. The man stepped forward again and said, "Mr. Song, you and the pavilion master are old acquaintances. The pavilion master also knows that it is too much to annoy each other by breaking the promise. However, I ask you to see that General Lu is a pillar of Southern Chu and cannot be broken. Come on, speak freely." A look of helplessness and distress flashed in Yu Lun's eyes, and he said: "I have received the great kindness of the pavilion master, and I will not repay it. The abandoned garden of Qiao’s family in the city is afraid that life and death will be distinguished within a few days. I also admire General Lu as a man. The next whereabouts are." The commoner Confucian scholar and Taoist priest Huang Guan were overjoyed and went forward to thank him, but Yu Lun just smiled coldly and ignored him.At this time, there were several zither sounds in the dark, faintly consoling, and I thought about it for a few times, with a mixture of sadness and joy on my face, I didn't knock on the door, and jumped into the willow garden.Then came a ray of flute sound in the dark, the sound was mournful, seemed to have infinite hatred, and disappeared in the wind in an instant. The commoner Confucian scholar is a bosom friend, hearing the melancholy implied in Xiao Yin, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, and asked the masked young man: "Brother Bai, what is this Mister Song related to Tianji Pavilion? He has some reluctance, I'm afraid that the big event will be ruined." The masked young man smiled and said: "Ding Daxia don't have to worry, Mr. Song has a very close relationship with this pavilion, but he retired a few years ago, and according to the rules of our pavilion, there is no further involvement. , but the pavilion master treats him with great kindness, and he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, as long as the pavilion master orders, he will definitely not bear it." The Confucian scholar in civilian clothes felt relieved, and said with a bow: "Please thank the Pavilion Master for your great kindness." The young man solemnly said: "We are all doing our best for the people of the world, so let's say goodbye. If there is anything else, please let Manager Han know." After that, the young man quietly hid in the darkness, and the sound of the piano sounded in the darkness, which meant farewell, and disappeared for a moment. The commoner Confucian scholar showed admiration on his face, and said: "The master of the Tianji Pavilion is indeed a strange person in the world, if we hadn't had his help, we would not have been able to save General Lu." The Taoist priest with the yellow crown showed doubts on his face, and said: "The master of the Tianji Pavilion has always covered his face with white gauze, and even his figure is hidden under the toga. Brother Ding is really sure that he is the one we met on Zhenze Lake. people?" The commoner Confucian scholar said: "Although his appearance and figure are invisible, but listening to his piano sound, he must be Mr. Yun who met that day. However, a person like him will never reveal the truth in person, but it is the blessing of the heavens to get his help. , we don’t want to get to the bottom of it.” The Taoist priest with the yellow crown nodded again and again when he heard this, but he said worriedly: "It is an act of disobedience after all to rob a prison. I hope that the king can appreciate the great general's contribution to defending the country. It would be the best if he can issue an order to pardon the country." of." The commoner Confucian scholar sighed: "I only hope that the king's kindness is like a sea, and he can appreciate the heart of loyal ministers." After speaking, he also felt that this was a delusion, so he sighed softly, disappeared into the night, and disappeared in an instant.The Taoist priest with the yellow crown sighed: "Jun's kindness is heavy, but the minister's life is light. When the prince died because of this, why did the general survive? I am also greedy." After finishing speaking, he also fell into the night . At this moment in the deep palace of Southern Chu, Zhao Long looked at the secret document inherited by Shang Weijun, curled his lips, he was just killing a courtier, why was he so cautious, and it was delivered late at night, and he was ordered to die in secret, obviously it was a felony of treason, but Only his family members were sentenced to exile, and he wanted to increase the punishment, but after thinking about it for a while, he was still too lazy to do anything, so he approved the word "ke", then casually threw the notebook on the table, and looked back in a daze. Go to the hall, there is still a beauty waiting for him.
