Chapter 74 land

At night, a gust of wind blew up, overcast clouds covered the mountains, and the mountains were dark. Wen Tianxiang sent a young monk and a small school into the city to buy some food. Not wanting the young monk to be captured by Yuan army patrols, the small school saw that the situation was not good, and ran away in a hurry to report back. "You can't stay here for long, you must leave as soon as possible." Wen Tianxiang quickly made arrangements. "Du Hu, is the captured young monk reliable? Will he betray us?" "No!" Du Hu replied firmly, "The little monk has been with me for many years, and I know him well. Even if he dies, he will not betray us!"

"How did the little monk be recognized by the Yuan army by such a coincidence? Could it be that Yu Qingyuan's group has fallen into the hands of the Yuan army?" "It's very possible. Prime Minister, Gaoyou City is in front of us. The old thief Li Tingzhi was afraid that we would enter the city, so he sent an order to the counties in Huaidong to arrest the "spies of the city". Avoid for a while." Don't look at Du Hu's rough appearance, but he is actually as careful as a hair.He traveled the rivers and lakes back then and made many friends, so he was well informed and Wen Tianxiang trusted him very much.

"That's all we have to do. We have been hunted down by the Song and Yuan armies and have been hiding here and there for eight or nine days, right?" "The day we left Zhenzhou was the second day of March (March 18th)," Du Hu pinched his fingers and calculated, "Today is the eleventh day of March, a full nine days." "Do you know anyone in Jijiazhuang?" "Yes, Ji Rong, the owner of Jijiazhuang, and his son Ji Wenlong." The owner of Jijiazhuang, Ji Rong, is nearly seventy years old, but he is still in good spirits.He had heard Wen Tianxiang's reputation for loyalty and bravery for a long time, and when he heard that Prime Minister Wen was coming, he hurriedly ordered his servants to kill pigs and cattle to entertain Wen Tianxiang and his party.

At dawn the next day, Ji Rong ordered his son Ji Wenlong to lead fifty dealers and escort Wen Tianxiang's seven people into Taizhou City. The general of Taizhou City had a close relationship with Ji Wenlong. Hearing that the Yuan army sent people to hunt Wen Tianxiang everywhere, he arranged Wen Tianxiang in his mansion.Soon, Tongzhou defender and commander Yang Shiliang personally sent Gu Yong, the commander of the Tongzhou navy, to pick up Wen Tianxiang. While rafting on the river, Wen Tianxiang was in a state of emotional ups and downs. He said to Gu Yong: "In the past month, a few of us have traveled all day long in the plains and mountains where the Song and Yuan armies faced each other. I thought that it would be impossible for me to return to the south of the Yangtze River, and I was worried that I would be captured by the Yuan army and sent to Dadu, but fortunately, Tian fulfilled his wish and helped me survive the catastrophe, so that I can serve the country with my own body for the officials of Song Dynasty."

Gu Yong stared at the rising sun in the east with his sword, and his short words were sincere and frank: "The situation of Prime Minister Wen is exactly the same as that of those envoys, students from the imperial court, and even the empress dowager, the queen dowager, and the young master who were driven by the Yuan army. The stark contrast is like the rising sun in front and the yin mountain in the back, the contrast is too strong. Gu Yong feels extremely honored to be able to lead the horses and stirrups for someone like Prime Minister Wen in his life." "Thank you, thank you officers and soldiers defending the city of Taizhou, and thank you General Yang for your painstaking efforts. As a scholar Wen, I'm afraid all he can do is worry about the country and the people."

Wen Tianxiang, who was over 40 years old, looked back at the increasingly blurred Taizhou City, and chanted loudly: The morning glow is like fire, burning a water of golden waves.
