Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Thunderbolt

Although it was hot summer, it was still chilly in the tent.Di Qing only thought about why Guo Zun died, and didn't pay attention to what Feiying said, "Brother Guo is dead." It is understandable for Di Qing to call Guo Zun his eldest brother, but why does Feiying also call Guo Zun his eldest brother? Could it be that Feiying and Guo Zun were friends in the first place? Seeing that Di Qing's eyes were red and agitated, Fei Ying calmed down and waited quietly. Di Qing couldn't let go of her anger, but sorrow welled up in her heart, and she shouted, "Feiying, you haven't told me who the murderer is!"

Feiying sighed and said: "It's hard to explain this matter... I feel alone and alone. Fortunately, you came, and I also found a soldier who fought at Sanchuankou. You may... but you can learn from him. Know the details." Di Qing immediately asked, "Where is he?" Feiying looked towards the opening of the curtain and said, "He is right behind you." Di Qing looked back and couldn't help being stunned.He was emotional just now, and he didn't notice that there was another person standing at the entrance of the tent, and he also knew that person.That person was the young man Di Qing rescued in the desert.

The young man clenched his fists, his expression was filled with anger and sadness... Di Qing thought that the man was Song Jun, but he didn't expect him to know about Guo Zun. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Guo is really dead?" , his heart was as cold as ice. The young man sobbed and asked, "Are you really Di Qing? Didn't everyone say that you died in Pingyuan?" Di Qing raised his head and said: "Yes, I am Di Qing, but I was only injured, not dead." Just now he didn't bother to answer Feiying's question, but at this time, he wanted everyone in the world to know that Di Qing was not dead, and Di Qing must be Will avenge Guo Zun!

The young man sobbed, "I knew it. You're not dead. How can someone like you die? If you're dead, who can lead the Song Army against Yuan Hao?" Di Qing sternly said: "Is it Yuan Hao? Did Yuan Hao kill Brother Guo?" Hearing that shout alone, her face was miserable, she took a step back, her body trembling, she was not afraid, there was unspeakable sadness on her face. The young man said: "Yes, it is Mr. Guo who Yuan Hao killed!" On the contrary, Di Qing calmed down, and said slowly: "Tell me about the situation at that time... okay?" He was already thinking in his heart, how could he kill Yuan Hao by himself?

But as long as he has breath, he will not let Yuan Hao go! The young man's fingernails were deep in his palms, his lips were bitten, and he said firmly, "Okay!" After his voice, there was no other voice in the tent. Everyone was silent, silently listening to the young man's recounting of Sanchuankou's tragic and tragic, bloody and unyielding! Only then did Di Qing know that when he rushed to Pingyuan Village, Jinming Village had already fallen.It turned out that his good brother Zhang Yu broke out of the siege and went to Yanzhou to deliver the letter in the wind and snow. It turned out that his good brother Li Yuheng died early to save Zhang Yu.

Di Qing didn't cry, but his heart was bleeding.This account cannot be settled with tears, it must be settled with blood! Di Qing also knew that although Zhang Yu sent the news to Yanzhou, before Fan Yong got the news, Liu Ping and his men had returned to the army.Someone unexpectedly knew that there must be a crisis in Yanzhou. Liu Ping, Shi Yuansun, Wan Lizheng, Guo Zun, and Huang Dehe returned to the rescue with five troops. The troops they led were only a little over 10,000, and they were mixed with cavalry and infantry, and they were exhausted.Liu Ping's army rushed from Qingzhou to the Security Army, attacked Tumen, and then returned to Sanchuankou. They ran for five days and five nights...

Di Qing listened quietly, quietly looking at the single knife in his hand. There is a gap in the single knife, but it is still glowing with coldness... The young man also said that it turned out that Pingyuanzhai had been fine all along, not because Dang Xiang's army was incapable of attacking it, but because of Yuan Hao's strategy to paralyze Song's army.When Yuan Hao sent troops to attack Pingyuan and Saimen, taking advantage of the Song army's retreat and not daring to attack, Yuan Hao led his army to break through the Tumen. Under the long drive, he used tens of thousands of traitors to break the Jinming village.

Li Shibin's whereabouts were unknown, and Li Huaibao was killed.The Jinming Village, which was like an iron wall, was actually riddled with holes. But Yuan Hao broke Jinming Village, and did not stop for a while. He took 80,000 cavalry, tens of thousands of traitors raised by the Song Dynasty, and tens of thousands of new and acquainted households. Equal people get into the game. The Song Army who came to aid Yanzhou City was only 10,000 people! The two armies met at the Wulong beach at the mouth of Sanchuan... The snowflakes were falling, and the Song army faced the enemy with the Yanyue formation, with one pair of fifteen, and the foresight of the Dangxiang army with a tired army.

But the Song army did not surrender, and they were not afraid. They even fought for three days and three nights, because they had a brave general named Guo Zun! Guo Zun inspired all the courage and bloodiness of the Song army, but Guo Zun died on the first day. When Di Qing heard this, the pain in his chest was pierced with needles, and his hair almost stood on end with hatred. He hated that he was not there at the time, and wished he could fight side by side with Guo Zun.But he still listened quietly, he wanted to remember all the things firmly, and then return them all. No one interrupted what the young man was saying, because everyone had a tragic meaning in their hearts.But some people are also thinking, who is this young man, and why is he so familiar with the Battle of Sanchuankou?This person is so clear about the overall situation, he is definitely not an ordinary Song army.

The young man said again, Guo Zun fought three battles with the Dangxiang Army.In the first battle, Guo Zun defeated the cavalry with his cavalry, defeated the party members with a more aggressive posture, and killed the number one warrior of the party members. Even Feixue's eyes lit up when she heard this.She murmured Guo Zun's name, and suddenly sighed, "Why didn't I see him earlier? He must..." Guo Zun must be something, Feixue didn't say any more. No one paid attention to Feixue's whispers, and everyone couldn't wait to know what happened next... The ending is set, but isn't the matter of Guo Zun what everyone wants to hear?

Guo Zun immediately fought the second battle with the Dangxiang people, singled out one of the nine kings of the Dangxiang Dragon Division, Long Yewang! In Dang Xiangjun's mind, Long Haotian was already like a god. No one thought that Guo Zunneng could defeat Long Haotian. Even if Guo Zunneng could defeat Long Haotian, he would have to pay the price in blood.But Guo Zun only used one move to kill King Longye under the glacier water! Guo Zunzhi died and survived. He broke the ice and killed the enemy, shocking the whole army. Di Qing's blood boiled again, and he asked anxiously, "Then... what happened next?" The young man mourned: "Later, the party members knew that with Mr. Guo around, we would never surrender. They mobilized their entire army to defeat our army. They crossed the ice and fought fiercely with us on the north bank... We fought from early morning to At dusk, half the casualties, but no one took a step back." Tears welled up in Di Qing's eyes, "What about Brother Guo?" No matter how brave Guo Zun was, he was still human after all. Could it be that Guo Zun died in battle like this? The young man said in grief and indignation: "We still have a chance of winning. Even if we don't have a chance of winning, we still have the hope of rushing out!" Everyone was surprised and couldn't believe it. Di Qing murmured: "There is still a chance, what chance is there?" The young man said: "We can't retreat, because we can't run away from those cavalry. We can only fight, fight, and gather under the city of Yanzhou to have a chance to fight back. Mr. Guo has thought of this a long time ago, and Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu also thought of it Now, so we are all fighting, because we still have a killer move to come out. We still have Thunderbolt!" A flash of light flashed in Di Qing's mind. He had heard Guo Zun say that the thunderbolt was not a thunderbolt from the sky, but a firearm newly developed by the court's Da Nei Wu Jing Tang.Zhao Zhen has always worried that the frontier iron cavalry is far inferior to the Dangxiang people and the Khitan people, so he collected various earthworks from the people and gathered them in the Wujingtang to concentrate on researching firearms to fight against the Khitan and Dangxiang people's cavalry. And the thunderbolt is the most powerful firearm in the past few years. Guo Zun actually carried the thunderbolt? The young man said loudly: "Master Guo only has more than a thousand men, but hundreds of thunderbolts. By dusk, we were already tired, and the party members were actually tired too. They didn't expect us to be so tough. Originally, they were planning to Another round of charge was launched, at this time Master Liu's ear was shot off by an arrow, Master Shi was seriously injured, and both Lord Wang Xin and Wan Tongzheng were killed in battle..." When Di Qing heard that Wang Xin was dead, his heart ached again.He remembered the silent man who died silently on the battlefield, but without these silent men, how could Da Song maintain today's peace? The young man said excitedly: "Even Master Guo can't hurt more than a dozen places, but he still gathers his strength and prepares for the final thunderbolt blow. If Master Guo is here, we will not retreat. Your Excellency took the lead and rushed over again. The iron rod in his hand was bent, and he replaced the iron spear, but the iron spear broke again. He snatched the horse again, fought hard to kill the enemy, and even led his troops to kill the party member again. to the river." Feiying listened silently, and when he heard this, he couldn't help admiring, "Brother Guo is really the number one hero in the world!" His eyes were no longer sad, but instead glowed with fiery light. Di Qing suddenly said: "Breaking the ice with a thunderbolt, this is the last chance." He already thought of how Guo Zun would make a move, but he didn't understand why Guo Zun would miss it. The young man said: "That's right, when Mr. Guo forced the Dangxiang people to the ice, he used the thunderbolt. As soon as the thunderbolt came out, the river surface exploded, and the river water protruded. The Dangxiang army was caught off guard, and they were in a mess. At one moment, he ordered the three armies to launch a general offensive, rush across the river, and rush out of the encirclement of the Dangxiang army. The Dangxiang people are already in chaos and exhausted, and this is our best chance to break through." He said here, with a glint of resentment in his eyes, and gritted his teeth: "This It was a good strategy, because we have not used 2000 new troops, and that team is led by Huang Dehe, as long as he pushes forward, we will not lose." Di Qing's face changed drastically, and he said in a hoarse voice, "He... didn't charge?" The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Instead of rushing, he led his troops to escape at this most critical moment." Di Qing tightened his hand, cracking the handle of the knife, gritted his teeth and said, "He...does he have the slightest conscience?" "He really doesn't have any conscience, his conscience has been eaten by dogs." Blood was spilling from the corner of the young man's mouth, "His escape not only took away the headquarters, but also disturbed the morale of the army. The Song army has long been exhausted and has no backup. , more people began to give up fighting. I... Liu Ping asked his son Liu Yisun to chase Huang Dehe, and begged Huang Dehe not to leave, but was injured by Huang Dehe instead." Di Qing murmured: "Okay, okay!" Huang Dehe was added to the list he wanted to kill. The young man continued: "Master Guo was fighting in icy water. He had already killed the Dangxiang army, but the rear army was in chaos, and all his painstaking efforts were wasted. At this time, even if Liu Ping's subordinates began to be in chaos, Liu Ping Ping fought hard, drew his sword and slashed those who retreated, shouting 'Fight for the country, and those who retreat die!'” Fight for your country, those who retreat die! When everyone heard these words, they felt desolate in their hearts.In the battle at Sanchuankou, only Guo Zun, Wang Xin, and Liu Ping made Yuan Hao dare not take a peek at the Song people, but there were only these few people on the battlefield. Di Qing murmured: "Fight for the country, and those who retreat will die? What about Brother Guo?" The young man clenched his fists and said: "Master Guo, if he leaves, no one can stop him. But he is still fighting hard in the icy water, fighting for the chance for the rest of the people to escape. The Dangxiang army has sent many masters to besiege him. In the end, he deeply Surrounded by heavy siege...with arrows in his body, horses died tragically, and people were drowned in the ice river...Afterwards, the party members said, Mr. Guo is dead! How could he not die in that situation?" The corner of Di Qing's mouth twitched, and he asked in a low voice, "Then what happened next?" The young man mourned: "Master Guo died. Liu Ping saw that the situation was not good, and knew that he would never break through the siege of the party members, so he had to retreat. I didn't see what happened later because I fainted on the battlefield. I just heard that although Liu Ping was defeated, he held back the party members from attacking Yanzhou, fought for another two days, and finally died in battle with Shi Yuan and Sun's troops." His voice was getting lower and lower, and his tone was obviously a little unconfident.Could it be that he is not sure about the fate of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun just because he has not seen it himself? Di Qing was keenly aware of this, but for a while she didn't know how to speak.Feiying said leisurely: "What I heard is a little different." The young man glared at Feiying and said, "You think I'm lying? You don't have to believe me, but how can you not believe Master Guo?" He got lost in the desert and was rescued by Feiying. , I can't wait to fight Feiying.He didn't know who Feiying was, but after hearing from Feiying that Di Qing was here, he couldn't help coming and told him what he knew. This is the territory of party members, but he is not afraid to talk about this kind of thing, even if he dies immediately, he doesn't care. Feiying said sharply: "I dare not doubt the first half of what you said, but there is something wrong with what you said later." The young man said with pain in his eyes, "What's the problem?" Fei Ying avoided answering, and said slowly: "Huang Dehe retreated, which led to the final defeat of the Song Army. But although the Song Army was defeated, they were exhausted and dragged down Yuan Hao's hundreds of thousands of horses. Yuan Hao was surprised. The Song army was originally defeated, but after three days of delay, reinforcements from all directions in the northwest finally arrived. Although Yuan Hao won at Wulong Beach at Sanchuankou, the victory was disastrous, and the loss was not limited to nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses. , as well as the confidence to win. How can he besiege the Song army with ten times the strength, and win with such difficulty, how can his subordinates have the determination to fight again? Yuan Hao saw this and killed Liu Ping After the two divisions, Shi Yuansun and Shi Yuansun, they did not try to go south, nor did they attack Yanzhou City. In addition, all of them fall into the hands of party members." Di Qing asked anxiously, "How is Qingjian City now?" Feiying said: "Qingjian City has been strictly defended, and Yuan Hao can't break it. Song Ting has lost all face this time, of course he will not abandon this place again, so he also sent troops to reinforce Qingjian City. Now Da Song and Yuan Hao are at a stalemate again stage, but Yanbian of the Great Song Dynasty is already in jeopardy." Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhong Shiheng had the foresight to finally keep a piece of territory near Yanbian. Fei Ying said again: "After Huang Dehe returned to Yanzhou, he told Fan Yong that Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun were not good at fighting, that they had lost their masters and humiliated the country, that they had rebelled before the battle, and that they had defected to Yuan Hao. Fan Yong believed what Huang Dehe said He was eager to shirk responsibility, and reported this matter to the court. As a result, the current emperor heard it and was very angry. He immediately sent troops to arrest all the family members of Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun, and put them in the prison, ready to be executed in autumn. The only one who was not punished was Guo Zun, because everyone knows Guo Zun's loyalty and loyalty to the Holy One, even people like Huang Dehe would not dare to wrong him." Everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect things to turn out like this. Di Qing lost his voice and said, "Your Majesty wouldn't be so confused. Then what happened next?" Fei Ying sneered and said, "Do you really think Zhao Zhen is so smart? If he is really smart, why would he send idiots like Fan Yong and Xia Shouyun to guard the side?" Li, and said: "Fortunately, Fan Zhongyan wrote a letter to question it, Pang Ji tried his best to protect it, and the censor Wen Yanbo went to Yanzhou, and then the truth was investigated, Huang Dehe was cut in half under the city of Yanzhou to show the public, and everyone was returned. One is innocent. But Huang Dehe said something right." The veins on the young man's forehead popped out, he clenched his fists tightly, stepped forward and shouted, "He's full of lies, he can't believe a single word." Fei Ying said indifferently: "He said that Liu Ping surrendered Yuan Hao, at least he was right!" The young man's eyes were tearing apart, and he shouted, "What did you say? How could Liu Ping surrender to the party members?" His eyes were red, and he was extremely angry. Feiying said in a single word: "Guo Zun is dead. But Liu Ping is not dead, Shi Yuansun is not dead, even Li Shibin is not dead! Those who deserve to die are not dead, but those who should not die are gone. Liu Ping and the others were all captured in Xingqing Mansion. As far as I know, in a few months, Yuan Hao will establish a state, and be on an equal footing with Great Song and Khitan, and divide the world into three parts. And these people have been rewarded, and they will kneel down at that time It's ridiculous that Da Song still doesn't believe this news." "You lie!" cried the young man excitedly. Feiying said: "Since I'm lying, why are you so excited?" The young man took a few steps back, his face flushed, Feiying said again: "Actually, I've always wondered what role did you play in the Sanchuankou battle?" Role?" The young man turned pale and took a step back. Everyone couldn't help being surprised, since this young man had also fought at Sanchuankou, he should have no shame in his heart, so why was he afraid that others would reveal his identity? With a cruel smile on the corner of Feiying's mouth, he stared at the young man, as if he wanted to see through him, "You are Song Jun, but there is no tattoo on your face, which means that you are not of low birth. You are still young and have ordinary martial arts skills. It is because of your father's merits that you have today's status. Every time you mention Liu Ping, you have a special expression, and your attitude towards him is obviously different from others. As far as I know, when Liu Ping went to war, he took his son Liu Yisun to the war. It is said that Liu Yisun died in battle. But it is obvious that Liu Yisun is not dead, you are Liu Yisun!" The young man took another step back, with a look of panic on his face. There was a deathly silence in the tent, and after an unknown amount of time, the young man said: "That's right... I'm Liu Yisun, so what?" He stretched out his hand and tore open the lapel of his chest, revealing many scars, and shouted: "I'm at Sanchuankou, Fight with conscience, although you are lucky not to die, it is not my fault!" Feiying's eyes sparkled, "You just have a conscience, that's why you have to cross the desert to go to Xingqing Mansion to see if Liu Ping is dead, right? You would rather your father die than surrender to Yuan Hao, right? ? If you see Liu Ping is still alive this time, maybe you will kill him, right?" Feiying asked three times in a row, and hit Liu Yisun like a thunderbolt. Liu Yisun's body shook, and he smiled bitterly: "You are right, but how could I kill my father? Who are you, and how do you know these things?" Feiying didn't answer Liu Yisun's question, but looked at Di Qing, "Now that everything has been said, all the disasters were caused by Yuan Hao alone, and only by getting rid of Yuan Hao can the border be safe. You are Di Qing, what do you think? , should we kill Yuan Hao to avenge Big Brother Guo?" Di Qing stared at Feiying and said: "Of course I should! If I exchange my life for Yuan Hao's life, I have no complaints or regrets!" He didn't notice that Shan Shan was shaking like a leaf in the wind, and said: "But when I arrive Right now, I still don’t know who you are, let alone why you shoulder this burden?” Feiying smiled, "Is it really important who I am? Brother Guo saved my life back then, so I should give it back to him! I wonder if this reason is enough?" Di Qing sighed, "It's enough...but do you have any plans?" With or without Feiying, he will avenge Guo Zun!The moment he heard the news of Guo Zun's death, Di Qing surprisingly didn't think about Shambhala anymore, his mind was full of thoughts on how to kill Yuan Hao. As for success or failure, he doesn't think about it. Feiying stretched out his hand and said single-handedly: "Our plot falls on this person." Di Qing looked over and asked in surprise, "Why?" Feiying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that brother Guo died, so I was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Hao. This person is called Shan Dan, but his identity is not simple..." Smiling and looking at Shan Dan, Fei Ying said: "Princess Shan Shan, Do you want me to tell you, or introduce yourself?" Di Qing was stunned, not knowing that she was just a princess.Which country is she the princess of? Shan Shan no longer trembled, took a step forward, just looked at Di Qing and said, "My name is Shan Dan, and my real name is Wei. Wei list list!" Di Qing took a deep breath, and already vaguely understood what, before he could say anything, Shan Shan said sadly: "Yuan Hao is my eldest brother, and he and I are real brothers and sisters!" Di Qing was stunned, he didn't expect Feiying to arrest Yuan Hao's sister.What's more, she didn't expect that this eccentric woman would have a blood relationship with the unfathomable Yuan Hao who dominates the Northwest.He certainly didn't expect that Yuan Hao killed Brother Guo, but he actually saved Yuan Hao's sister. Feiying said aside: "I caught her, but I didn't think she would escape, so I asked Shi Tuan to catch her again. Fortunately...you brought her here. Maybe it's God's will, God's will." He looked at Shan Shan coldly and said: "God also asked us to avenge Big Brother Guo, so you can't escape from our palm." Shan Dan calmed down instead, and said softly to Di Qing: "If God wants me to die, I hope... to die by your hands. You saved me, and then killed me, don't you and I owe each other nothing in this life?" She His eyes were foggy, when he looked at Di Qing, he didn't plead or hate... There seemed to be something hidden in her eyes, but it was definitely not fear. Both Shi Tuo and Feixue's expressions changed slightly, and they hesitated to speak. They seemed to hear something from the words, but they didn't want to say more. Di Qing understood the whole story, and thought to himself, "Although the stone is the lord of the Muusuo Desert, but seeing Feiying's sharp eyes and astonishing aura, Feiying must have subdued the stone by force. But the stone was secretly dissatisfied, and everyone It's a hidden danger. Feiying is unscrupulous in doing things, how can Brother Guo have such a friend? But if Feiying is not a friend of Brother Guo, why would he fight Yuan Hao?" Seeing Shan Dan's sad eyes, Di Qing turned to Fei Ying after a long time and said, "We are going to kill Yuan Hao. The matter of Yuan Hao has nothing to do with his sister." Just the wet eyelids, she never thought that Di Qing was such a person. Everyone in the camp had different expressions, Feiying held onto the lower one, and suddenly his veins popped out. Di Qing only felt the unspeakable oppression coming, but he said calmly: "I don't know who you are, but you are a flying eagle, so you should be proud of the sky, instead of eating carrion like a vulture. You also said, I It's Di Qing, so I don't think Wei List deserves to die. If Brother Guo Zun had a spirit in heaven, he wouldn't agree with us doing this." Fei Ying sneered and said, "But do you know how terrible Yuan Hao is? Although we hate Yuan Hao, we cannot deny his great talent. This man is a martial artist, built five armies, created eight divisions, and his kung fu is unfathomable , and his subordinates are also masters like clouds, and they even recruit strange people and strangers, and their ambitions are in the world. It is difficult for us to get close to such a person, let alone assassinate him." Di Qing replied: "Then do you think such a person would give up his life for Wei List?" Feiying froze, and retorted: "At least we can let him throw a mouse." Shan Shan laughed and said: "So you are a flying eagle, but you just claim to be a mouse." Feiying's eyes flickered sharply, but he calmed down, "You can say a few more words... Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have anything to say in the future." It is not good to just keep silent, thinking in my heart that I am using my tongue in vain.They wanted to threaten their eldest brother Yuan Hao with themselves, so they wouldn't kill themselves for the time being, but torture was inevitable.Except for Di Qing, I'm afraid no one else will treat him kindly. Seeing that Shan Shan was silent, Fei Ying's eyes flashed strangely again, and said to Di Qing: "Di Qing, even if you don't agree with my plan, Wei List now knows our intentions, and you must not let her go." Di Qing asked: "What's your plan? Could it be that you can force Yuan Hao to submit by grabbing a list?" Feiying suddenly changed the subject and said, "Do you know who has replaced Fan Yong and is in charge of the Yongxing Army?" Seeing Di Qing shaking his head, Feiying said, "It's Xia Song." Di Qing sighed secretly, thinking that Xia Song was also a civil servant, and his nature was similar to Fan Yong's. The court was changing the soup instead of the medicine. Could it be that Zhao Zhen still didn't realize the crisis in Yanbian? Fei Ying sarcastically said: "Fan Yong is incompetent, Xia Song is useless, both of them are without exception. Xia Song is more lustful and pleasure-loving than Fan Yong. Do you know the first thing he did when he took office? ?” Di Qing shook his head, feeling even weirder in his heart, thinking to himself why Feiying was so familiar with Yanbian, and why was he so enthusiastic about pointing out Jiangshan? This is definitely not something a desert thief would think about! Fei Ying talked eloquently: "The first thing Xia Song did was to issue a list, saying that whoever wins Yuan Hao's head... will be rewarded with five million guan." Di Qing said after a while: "This Yuan Hao's head is worth enough." He thought to himself that Fei Ying wanted to assassinate Yuan Hao, was it for reward?Looking at Feiying Yixing's flying eyes, Di Qing denied his thoughts. Fei Ying said again: "Di Qing, do you know how Yuan Hao reacted?" Seeing that Di Qing was silent, Fei Ying laughed and said: "Yuan Hao only sent a reply to the list, and those who can win Xia Song's head will be rewarded twice! " Di Qing had no choice but to admire: "Yuan Hao is an incomparable talent. In comparison, we are inferior." What he thought was, "Yuan Hao's ambition is in the world. Only by doing this, Xia Song will succeed." He is far from being an opponent. Assassinating Yuan Hao by himself is even more invincible compared to Yuan Hao's chest. But how can I not take action now that I have been involved?" Feiying said slowly: "You're right, but Sanchuankou's defeat was definitely not the fault of a few people. The only one to blame is why the court let Fan Yong lead the army. I'm going to assassinate Yuan Hao. It's just that we were born at the wrong time." When he mentioned the words "Born at the wrong time", he was full of ambition, "Di Qing, if you and I can control the Northwest and lead the army against the Dangxiang people, we may not be able to defeat Yuan Hao!" Di Qing looked at Feiying for a while, "You may be able to, but I probably can't." Fei Ying shook his head and said: "Don't be self-effacing. Now that Big Song is gone without Brother Guo, there is only one person who can stand in the way of Yuan Hao's edge, and that is you! It's just a pity that you have fought for more than a year and made a lot of contributions. Restricted by the family law of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty and those incompetent people." Di Qing was speechless, but why didn't he feel that there was energy in the moment, but it was useless? One general is incompetent, exhausting thousands of troops.But the court is incompetent, he has no ambition for the country, but he has no place to display his fists. Feiying seemed to be thinking about something, but he glanced at Feixue, and finally said with a smile: "Yuan Hao's match against Xia Song this time seems to have firmly controlled Xia Song, but Yuan Hao has obviously exposed his weaknesses." Di Qing frowned, "What weakness does he have?" "He is already arrogant, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" Feiying said confidently, "He doesn't think anyone dares to attack him at all, so now is our chance to attack! As long as Yuan Hao can be killed, the Northwest can be settled, and the people can fight against him." Ann, if Da Song cheers up, it will be just around the corner to clean up the old land." Di Qing heard Feiying's lofty sentiments, and it hit his mind, but he always felt a little uneasy. "Then what should we do now?" "Rush to Xingqing Mansion, and act while Yuan Hao is proclaiming the emperor. Even if things fail, we have the Wei list in hand, and we have a way out." Feiying said cautiously. Di Qing glanced at Shan Shan, then at Fei Xue, and murmured: "Xingqing Mansion? It seems that I have to go." Feixue remained silent, as if what everyone was talking about had nothing to do with her, but for some reason, there were waves in her always clear eyes, like the surface of a lake caressed by the spring breeze, also filled with indescribable worries. Xingqing Mansion, now Yinchuan, Ningxia, was the first city in the northwest of Dangxiang Yuanhao at that time.This mansion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the situation is solid. It faces Langshan Mountain in the north, Helan Mountain in the west, Qilian Mountains and the Yellow River. When Li Deming was in power, he crossed the Yellow River north to build this place and named it Xingzhou. Yuan Hao promoted Xingzhou to Xingqing Mansion, built palaces and palaces extensively.Now Xingqing Mansion has a vast terrain, high walls and thick walls, well-developed water conservancy, and is extremely prosperous. Although Xingqing Mansion is said to be the confidant of the Dangxiang people, there are also many Central Plains people living here. Yuan Hao respected martial arts and respected the law, and used both Han and Fan. In Xingqing Mansion, half of the officials were from the Central Plains. Therefore, although the vassals were arrogant here, the Central Plains people were not humble. Di Qing finally arrived at Xingqing Mansion. When he walked out of the Maousuo Desert and entered Xingqing Mansion, he had only one thought, to assassinate Yuan Hao! He and Feixue walked into Taibai Residence side by side, and sat down in an unremarkable seat. Seeing that Feixue was still silent, Di Qing couldn't help but said, "You want to take me somewhere, is this place?" Feixue shook her head and said, "It's not I who want to bring you here, it's Feiying who wants you to come here first." Di Qing looked around and pondered, "Where is he now?" Feixue said calmly: "Of course he is where he should be." Di Qing smiled wryly, and ordered a pot of Tibetan highland barley wine, tasting the sour and sweet taste, Feixue was also drinking the wine slowly, with nostalgic thoughts in his eyes. Now Yuan Hao in Northwest China is powerful, and he seems to be fighting against Khitan and Song Dynasty in a vague way. At this time, Yuan Hao's territory had Khitan in the north, Song Dynasty in the east, Gaochang and Kucha in the west, and Tubo and Dali in the south.Because Xingqing Mansion gathers people from all over the world, and because of the influence of the Song Dynasty, the construction pattern of the city is like that of Chang'an in Tang Dynasty and Bianjing in Song Dynasty. There is Taibai Residence here, and there is highland barley wine here. ten. Di Qing thought, "Looking at Feiying's complacency, he seems to have a plan for assassinating Yuan Hao. He asked me to wait here. What is his plan?" It turned out that Di Qing and Fei Ying made a plan to assassinate Yuan Hao, so Di Qing and Fei Xue went to Xingqing Mansion first, while Fei Ying was in charge of planning the rest. As for Shan Shan, it still remained in Feiying's hands after all.She didn't even have an expression of dissatisfaction, she seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. Feiying assured Di Qing that he would not do anything to Shan Shan unless it was absolutely necessary.Di Qing can't do much, but only hopes that Feiying can really keep his words and deeds. But when Di Qing arrived in Xingqing Mansion, he was still at a loss as to what to do next. "Feiying asked me to wait here, but... where do you want to take me?" Di Qing sighed.If it wasn't for the flying snow, he wouldn't be able to reach the desert, let alone come to Xingqing Mansion.Life is always an inadvertent turning point, which can set off monstrous waves. Feixue said: "When you get to that place, you will naturally know." "But I can't go out of Xingqing Mansion with you now." Di Qing wondered. "I know." "I'm actually not even 100% sure of my actions this time. But I must take action." Di Qing said firmly: "Guo Zun is my elder brother!" He no longer needs any other reasons, this one is enough! "I know." "I'm likely to die in Xingqing Mansion..." Di Qing looked carefree, thinking that if Yu Chang knew what he was doing, he would not object. "Everyone is mortal, I don't care. But no matter what happens or not, this place will probably be chaotic. If you can tell me where to go, as long as I don't die, I will crawl. I owe three years in my life." Personal love, one is yours, and the other is Brother Guo's..." The third person he owed was of course Yushang, but he didn't have to say it.He is destined to spend his whole life repaying that kind of love. Feixue stared at Di Qing without asking who the third person was, "I just want to tell you that as long as you don't die, I will try my best to take you to that place, because this is what is destined. But if you die Why do you need to know so many things?" Feixue's meaning is also very clear, death is like a lamp going out, there is no need to know too many things, it will only confuse the mind. Di Qing drained his bowl of wine and said no more. Instead, Feixue spoke again: "Do you know who Feiying is?" "I have no idea." "Then do you know how to assassinate Yuan Hao?" "I have no idea." Feixue sneered: "You don't know anything, so you came to Xingqing Mansion alone, and obeyed Feiying's arrangement to assassinate Yuan Hao?" She didn't go on, but obviously felt that Di Qing was too reckless. Di Qing smiled suddenly, "I only know that Fei Ying and Yuan Hao are enemies; I only know that even if there is no Fei Ying, I would still come to Xingqing Mansion; I only know that sometimes, I don't have much choice. Of course I can not come, but I will regret it later." "What's the difference between you and gambling?" Di Qing looked at the wine bowl, the yellowish highland barley wine reflected a completely different face, but the same melancholy face. "Nianhua" can change a person's appearance, but cannot change a person's nature. "Isn't life just a gamble?" Di Qing said melancholy: "Every choice you make is a gamble. If you make the right choice, you'll bet right. If you make a wrong choice, you'll lose something. What's more sad is that many people There is no choice." Feixue's calm eyes became turbulent again, and she said after a long time: "Then I can only tell you a few things. First, although everyone is gambling, some people win all their lives because they think too much. Second, I don't I will gamble with you." "What about the third one?" Di Qing asked. Feixue stood up and said coldly: "The third point I want to tell you is that Feiying is indeed Yuan Hao's enemy, but the enemy's enemy may not be your friend! So if you don't die this time , I will come to you again, but you are Guo Zun, and I have no reason to accompany you to die." After she finished speaking, she turned and left, and in a short while, she was gone. Di Qing fell into deep thought, thinking about Feixue's intentions and what kind of person Feiying was. At this moment, footsteps sounded, and several people had already walked up to the restaurant, one of them yelled: "Bartender, hurry up and get the wine ready! Let's have another good banquet." Di Qing heard the voice sound familiar, and squinted at it, his heart skipped a beat, blood surged up, and he almost cracked the wine bowl. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. The person he recognized was Gao Daming, who was originally a guard in Beijing, and the person behind him, with his eyes high above his head, looked haughty. ! Why did Xia Sui come here and act recklessly? Xia Sui didn't pay attention to Di Qing, and he never thought that Di Qing would come to Xingqing Mansion.Hearing Gao Daming yelling, Xia Sui frowned and said: "Daiming, keep your voice down, this is Xingqing Mansion..." Gao Daming laughed and said: "Although this is Xingqing Mansion, isn't Brother Xia more beautiful than in the capital?" Xia Sui's face was full of color, so he picked a seat by the window and sat down, raised his eyes to look at the long street, with anticipation in his eyes. To avoid trouble, Di Qing didn't bring a knife when he went out. He looked around and saw Xia Sui followed by Gao Daming, Li Zhan, Song Shiwu and Wang Ming, and sneered in his heart.高大名这几人当年都是夏随的死忠，甚至曾想引狄青入彀，这次显然和夏随一起投靠了元昊。 他已知道，夏氏父子投靠了元昊！ 他也隐约知道，三川口宋军惨败，就是拜这父子所赐！ 狄青心中杀机已起，但还能保持冷静。他的目标是元昊，如何杀了夏随而不打草惊蛇是他需要考虑到事情。 狄青思索间，宋十五谄媚道：“夏大哥，这次令尊和你都立了大功，可兀卒虽重赏了令尊，但只给夏大哥一个指挥使的职位，未免太过轻视了吧？” 狄青心中暗恨，元昊为何要重赏夏守贇？还不是因为当初延边最大的内奸就是夏守贇！ 延州惨败，郭遵身死，万余宋军的冤魂，都是因为夏守贇的部署！ 狄青已准备动手，突然听汪鸣道：“好戏在后头呢。这次野利王要夏大哥到此等候，说不定就要提拔夏大哥呢。” 夏随叱道：“莫要乱说，若被野利王听到，那可不好。”他虽是斥责，但脸上满是得意，显然这个消息不假。 狄青一凛，知道野利王就是龙部九王之一的野利旺荣，是元昊手下的重臣，他要见夏随？他为何选在太白居见夏随？ 狄青压抑住冲动，因为听到楼梯口又有脚步声传来。一人随后出现在楼上。夏随扭头望见，慌忙站起迎上去道：“原来是监军使大人，不知道……王爷什么时候能来呢？” 狄青见那人身形剽悍，双眸迥然，暗自琢磨此人的来头。他知道元昊为便于对五军管理和调遣，仿大宋的“厢”、“军”设置，以黄河为界，将全境划为左右两厢，下辖十二监军司，监军使就是监军司中的官员。而野利王野利旺荣就统领左厢明堂军司众，因此位高权重。 这次野利旺荣带部下回来，多半是因为元昊称帝在即，所以回都城协防？ 狄青正琢磨时，那监军使道：“王爷偶染风寒，不能来了。” 夏随满是失望，可还装作关切道：“那卑职……倒想去看望王爷呢。”他和父亲夏守贇当年是太后的亲信，后来宫变事败，虽说圣上说不再追究，可夏家父子随后就被明升暗贬到了边陲。夏守赟老谋深算，当然知道天子在算账，心中忐忑，只怕有一日赵祯会反目。夏家父子心一狠，这才投靠了元昊，当年他们在京城呼风唤雨，这时虽对个监军使，仍是不敢怠慢。 监军使道：“不用了。不过王爷已保举你入卫戍军。调令这几日就会下来，你好好的准备吧。” 夏随大喜道：“多谢王爷提拔，多谢监军使大人。”他知道卫戍军就是京中御围内六班直，是五军之一。御围内六班直和大宋班直一样，那是元昊的亲信才能入内充任，待遇好，地位高，一直都由党项人充任，没想到自己也能在那里立足。 监军使哈哈一笑道：“不用客气，不过到时候……你可得好好谢谢王爷。”夏随迭声应是，监军使又和夏随客套几句，告辞下楼。 夏随恭送那人下楼，等回身后，脸上难掩喜意。高大名已叫道：“夏大哥，你这次可发达了。到时候……莫要忘记提拔兄弟们。” 夏随笑的嘴都合不拢，“一定，一定。” 几人才要落座，又听身后脚步声起，都转头望去，见一戴斗笠的汉子走了上来。夏随见那人不是监军使，也不在意，才待让酒保上菜，不想那汉子径直到了夏随等人的身前。 夏随感觉对方来意不善，霍然站起喝道：“你做什么？” 那汉子半张脸遮在斗笠下，只是露出嘴角的一抹笑意，那笑意如苍鹰睥睨般的冷酷，“你是夏随夏大人吗？” 狄青见到那人的冷笑，已认出那人是谁，不由凛然。这人为何要找夏随？ 夏随微愕道：“我是夏随，你是哪位？” 那汉子低声道：“须弥善见长生地……” 狄青一震，夏随一惊，高大名已失声道：“你怎知道这联络……”陡然间收声，满脸的惊疑不定。 狄青听了高大名的半截话，脑海中如闪电划过，一瞬间已明白了太多的事情。 须弥善见长生地，五衰六欲天外天！ 狄青一直不知道这句话的意思，当年丁指挥就是因为向钱悟本逼问此事的时候被杀。后来狄青装鬼本要逼出答案，但被夏守赟打断。之后狄青虽一直带着这个疑惑，但奔波征战，无暇再追究。现在听高大名一说，狄青就已了然，这是夏随他们联络的暗号。 延边很多人都被党项人收买，钱悟本也是其中的一个。 丁指挥就是因为发现钱悟本勾结党项人的事情被杀，而夏随杀人灭口，当然也就是掩藏夏家勾结元昊的事情。 狄青心中暗恨，恨自己为何这么晚才猜到这个事情。 那面的夏随也是满腹狐疑，缓缓道：“阁下是谁？”他听对方说出自己在延边的暗语，满腹疑惑，以为这也是当年他联络的人手。 那汉子推了下头顶的斗笠，笑道：“我是……狄青！”那两字如同霹雳般击中了夏随的脑海，夏随讶然失措，不由倒退了一步。高大名最先反应过来，“呛啷”声响，已拔出单刀，喝道：“你敢来……” 单刀才出，鲜血闪现。 高大名话未说完，手捂咽喉，已倒仰摔在楼板上。他咽喉血肉模糊，烂得不像样子，好像被鹰嘴啄过。 酒楼上一阵哗然，众酒客见发生了命案，纷纷向楼下逃去。狄青虽很吃惊，但还镇静，在别人彷徨失措的时候，他已看到那汉子袖口突然冒出个铁杆模样的东西，顶端尖尖，有如鹰隼利喙，闪电般的啄在高大名的咽喉上。 高大名死，夏随大惊失色，纵身后退，叫道：“你不是……”他当然认识狄青，知道这人并非狄青，可他为何要冒狄青之名杀自己？夏随想不明白。 夏随毕竟身手不弱，后退之际，已拔刀出鞘。可夏随单刀才拔出一半，就觉得胸口一痛，全身气力倏然被抽了出去。 狄青见那人的鹰喙般的利刃击穿了夏随的胸口，也震惊那人出手的狠辣快捷。 见到自己胸口血如泉涌，夏随满眼的不信和恐怖，嗄声道：“你……为……什么……”可那血涌的极快，夏随眼前发黑，晃了几晃，摔倒在地。临死前，他突然望见了一双眼，那眼中带着讥诮、厌恶和憎恨，他突然认出来，那是狄青的眼。 杀他的不是狄青，可狄青就在他身边。夏随思绪混乱，不解缘由，喉结滚动下，再没了声息。 宋十五等三人也倒了下去。那汉子只是用袖中的兵刃在其余三人胸口啄了下，犀利如电。宋十五等人毙命时，那人拍拍手掌，手上干干净净，没有半分血迹。 胆小的酒客已吓得屎尿都流了出来。那汉子杀人后却不急于离去，伸手撕开夏随的衣襟为笔，沾着夏随胸膛的鲜血为墨，在雪白的墙壁上，写了龙飞凤舞的几个大字。 “叛宋者，死！杀人者——狄青！” 狄青就那么看着，并不吃惊，只是皱了下眉头。别人冒用他的名字杀人，他问也不问。别人杀人后留下他的名字，他好像也不反对。 那人杀人留迹，目光若有意若无意的望了狄青一眼，突然撮唇做哨，声音凄厉。只听到楼下有马蹄遽响，狄青探头望过去，见一匹健马奔行而至，那人倏然而起，苍鹰般从酒楼上飞出去，落在马背上。那马儿奔得急，转瞬去得远了。 这时候，酒楼大乱，锣声四起，才有兵士远远的赶来……
