Lintai Storm Record

He stroked Song Qianzhi's waist, blew out the candles, and carried him to bed.

Tomorrow morning, before dawn, he will be on the road, Lu Guan doesn't bother Song Qianzhi, just hugs him, gently rubs his lips against his ears and neck, and falls asleep.

Zhou Xian was still injured, so he could only ride in a carriage. Zhan Xing asked for orders to accompany him, and Song Qianzhi's mother said that she was relieved to bring a maid to serve her.

Zhanxing and Baiyue are good at martial arts, and their skills are not weak.Back from Zhou Xian, the little girl filmed around him all day long, Song Qianzhi also saw some meaning, so Xu Zhanxing followed.

When the carriage arrived near the capital, they encountered a lot of luxurious and rich carriages. They were all heading west in the opposite direction to Song Qianzhi and the others. No need to ask, they knew that they were going to take refuge in Hanzhou.

If he wanted to leave Beijing at this juncture, he had to take a note approved by Qin Yuning himself, and the Ministry of War would have money immediately, and it could be sent to the front line.

Song Qianzhi lost his mind and was a little happy for a while.

Before going to Mengzhou, a group of people went to Beijing, Song Qianzhi wanted to find Yang Wen, Lu Guan followed all the way, after entering the city, Song Qianzhi originally wanted to find an inn for Zhou Xian to live in first, who knows that most of the inns in Beijing are closed. business.

Now I have no choice but to go back to live in Houfu.

The military department was busy inside and out like a gourd. Seeing Song Qianzhi coming, Qin Yuning had a disgusted smile on his tired face, and waved his hands quickly: "Go, go, come again?!"

Song Qianzhi didn't take Qin Yuning's words of chasing him to heart at all, and he just rubbed it when he went up.

"It seems that Uncle Qin is in a better mood. Has the battle situation turned around?"

Qin Yuning let out a long breath, and the turbid breath that he hadn't been able to get out of his heart for several days was in this breath.

"The Zhenbei army has gone, and has driven the Heidi people out of Hongping County. Now they are in a stalemate with the Heidi people at Fengpingxia. You know that Fengpingxia is an important pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now Fengpingxia is in Heidi. In Di Ren's hands, as long as Fengpingxia is taken back, this battle will surely be won."

Song Qianzhi was also very happy to hear the news.

"Finally kicked them out!"

Qin Yuning shook his hand and said, "We can't be too optimistic." He nodded to Lu Guan behind Song Qianzhi, looked at Song Qianzhi, "Why are you looking for me? I hope it will be easy to handle."

"It's easy to handle. I heard that Mr. Yang Wenyang came back to the capital to sit in town first. I didn't have time to see him. I wrote him a letter, and Uncle Qin gave it to him later." Song Qianzhi took out the envelope from his sleeve .

Qin Yuning held the letter in his hand, looked at the wax paint on it, and said with a wry smile: "I said you came to collect debts, and I guessed right."

"It's not all for the people of the Li people to have something to eat. Uncle Qin also knows that what the people want is not enough to have a hot meal, two warm clothes, and a shabby house to shelter from the wind and rain. Now that you have become an official, Always do what needs to be done.”

Qin Yuning looked inexplicable, and said: "Song Zhuxing, I have been educated."

"Don't dare, Uncle Qin wrote me an order to go east."

"Didn't you bring the imperial decree?" Qin Yuning guessed that a relative like Song Qianzhi turned back at this time and wanted to go east. He could only go out of Beijing according to the decree. I'm afraid he would still be an imperial envoy, talking , Qin Yuning has already written down the seal of approval.

Song Qianzhi thanked him and took Lu Guan away, thinking of something, he just turned around.

Qin Yuning had a headache on his face.

Song Qianzhi: "..."

"Uncle Qin, what is the background of that wonderful girl in Hanzhou? Have you ever heard of it?"

Qin Yuning frowned and thought for a while, then scolded: "You should also inquire about the woman dedicated to the emperor, hurry up and do something!"

In the most prosperous capital city in the country, every house is closed, and there are more than half of the pedestrians on the street. At the intersection, a big man with a weathered face and no work to do is sitting, wrapped in an old black cotton jacket, smoking a cigarette.A little toddler boy wobbled into his arms. The big man hugged his son and let him ride on his neck. A smile appeared on his wrinkled face, and he walked into the entrance of the alley.

Lu Guan took Song Qianzhi's hand and wrapped him in his robe.

The entire street was covered in a layer of gray from the sky to the ground, and the pedestrians lost their souls and had no time to care about others.

In the evening Zhou Xian came to Song Qianzhi's room, passed him and saw Lu Guan making a bed inside, Song Qianzhi looked back at Lu Guan, and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Lu Guan didn't lift his head.

Song Qianzhi closed the door, followed Zhou Xian to the yard, the water drops from the tree dripped onto Song Qianzhi's forehead.

"Baxiajian..." Zhou Xian just raised his head, Song Qianzhi waved his hand to stop him.

"You know where it is."

"Don't need to tell you?"

"No need for now." Song Qianzhi said, "Let's get it together later."

The wound on Zhou Xian's face was deep, and after applying ointment, it was completely disfigured, and he could vaguely tell that he was an extremely handsome man.

Zhou Xian realized that Song Qianzhi was scrutinizing his face carefully, he seemed a little hesitant, and finally said: "My face was injured by a woman. She is very skilled in martial arts, and she is not from Dachu."

The stone bench not far away was soaked by the afternoon rain, and Song Qianzhi gave up the idea of ​​sitting there.

"Where is she from?"

"I don't know, but she has a unique skill, she can charm people with her voice. My lord..."

Song Qianzhi's expression suddenly changed, and Zhou Xian's voice fell silent.

After a while, Song Qianzhi said, "How can you charm people with your voice?"

Zhou Xian seemed a little ashamed, and said: "At that time, I was on a mission outside. In order to inquire about news, I sneaked into a flower building. The news I received was that I wanted to contact a singing girl and inquire about one of her benefactors. Who knew that when she sang, that feeling..." Zhou Xian didn't know how to describe it, "There will be a lot of memories in my heart in an instant, and people can't concentrate. For an hour, during this hour, I don't even know what I did."

"Is she born beautiful?" Song Qianzhi asked.

Zhou Xian lowered his head: "When she sees me, she almost always covers her face. I can't remember her appearance. I only remember her voice, which is quite nice. It's...a nice thing I've never heard before."

Crowded in the same bed with Lu Guan, Song Qianzhi turned over and hugged him, Lu Guan's chest was burning.The Hou Mansion has been evacuated, the quilt should be very damp, but now it smells delicious, it must be that Zhan Xing has dried the quilt in the afternoon.

Taking a woman on the road is different.Song Qianzhi thought secretly.

"You said that woman..." Song Qianzhi was about to fall asleep, and a thought suddenly came to him, "Just Zhou Xian said that the woman with a nice voice, could it be a wonderful woman?"

"Why not." Without opening his eyes, Lu Guan hugged Song Qianzhi, touching his hair with his lips.

"After returning to Hanzhou, we asked to see the emperor for the first time. He was drinking and having fun at that time. How did you feel when you heard the singing?"

In the darkness, Lu Guan's eyes lit up.

"I remember, you pinched me at that time."

"When the singing stopped, everyone looked bewildered and confused. Fu Mingshao's expression was hostile. Moreover, his behavior when chasing Qin Mingxue was very abnormal. It is impossible for the situation to change drastically in Hanzhou." Song Qianzhi analyzed.

"You don't know him." Lu Guan said, "He hides more than you think."

"How to say?"

"I secretly searched for evidence of many ministers who supported the eldest prince at that time. The first time I brought him down was Qiu Mingfeng, then Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment."

"I know that he is a huge corrupt man. His nephew also humiliated two women to death. He himself is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but he was imprisoned unjustly and punished harshly. After this man was ransacked and executed by the court, many people applauded , can’t be considered a bad thing.”

"After the death of the crown prince, there were very few people attached to Fu Mingshao at first. After I sued many people through the Metropolitan Procuratorate, more and more people supported him. However, his attitude has always been against participating in the struggle for the throne. , In fact, he knew about our private actions, but he never stopped him."

It is equivalent to saying that the people around Fu Mingshao, especially the people around him headed by Lu Guan, whether they are aides or later attached to the power of the Sixth Prince, killed people for him and sought power for him, Fu Mingshao has always acquiesced. , Watching them do everything for him, but never formally express their position.

Song Qianzhi hugged Lu Guan, thinking that one day Zhou Xian told him that all Fu Mingshao wanted was his loyalty.He suddenly felt sorry for Lu Guan, hugged his head, and kissed his cheek.

"Miao Nu is likely to be the one who left Zhou Xian with a scar on his face. If it is her, let's assume that she is the one who arrested Zhou Xian this time." Song Qianzhi thought for a while and changed his words, "Maybe she didn't Did not come forward, or someone under her. Zhou first said that the person who tortured him was a man."

"She lurks by the emperor's side, and she is dedicated to the emperor by the state capital of Hanzhou." Lu Guan said.

"So we should investigate the state capital?" Song Qianzhi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't make sense, so he had to think about it.

The next day, Zhou Xian offered to ride a horse. Zhan Xing said that he was not very good at equestrian skills, and asked Zhou Xian to take her.

The groom was brought out from home, and he rode with him to Mengzhou.

In the whole world, there is no imperial envoy who is less ostentatious than himself, and there is no one who rings the gong to clear the way.Staying at the posthouse at night and traveling during the day, Song Qianzhi wondered if he would run into Fu Mingmao all the way, but Fu Mingmao hadn't shown up until he arrived in Rongzhou Prefecture.

The city of Rongzhou didn't know that the imperial envoy had left, Shen Yushu kept it a secret, Song Qianzhi and others stayed in the government office of Rongzhou for one night, Song Qianzhi and Shen Yushu talked about the situation in Hanzhou.

Shen Yushu has lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, running around the city every day in the wind and sun.

"All the grain that can be bought has been purchased by the government with money. Young Lord, spring plowing..."

Song Qianzhi picked up the wine glass and solemnly assured Shen Yushu: "There must be grain after the spring plowing, and the seeds will be transported to Rongzhou before then, so that they can be planted in time."

After drinking a glass of wine, Shen Yushu still seemed preoccupied.

"Shangshu Yang Wen is in the capital. When I left the capital, I had already transferred Qin Yuning, Minister of the Ministry of Trust, to him. Last time he was in the palace, he made sure that even if he bought it from a merchant, he would get the food together. What's more, General Bai Guyou is fighting in front, and the Heidi people can't get out of the sky, once the Heidi people are beaten away, everything will be fine."

Only then did Shen Yushu look pale, and offered a cup to Song Qian: "My lord, please tell me your words."

Gao Niande, who was chasing Yan Licheng, still had no news. After dinner, Song Qianzhi called several guards in the cell to ask about the details of Yan Licheng's escape.

Sure enough, it was the same as his guess.

At that time, a jailer died, and Yan Licheng never had to be guarded. Song Qianzhi had issued a death order a long time ago, and wanted to bring this person back to the capital for questioning.

Except that Gao Niande had been interrogated, and on the day of the interrogation, a jailer died. When Rongzhou Mansion found that the prisoner had escaped, he only saw a jailer lying in a pool of blood.

"Qilin Guard reported that Gao Niande had gone after Yan Li, but when he arrived, both Gao Niande and Yan Li were no longer in prison," Lu Guan said.

Song Qianzhi nodded: "If it's not discussed with Gao Niande, it's speculation. Qilin Guards..." Song Qianzhi's eyes drifted upwards. The selection of Qilin Guards is extremely strict, and they are close to death. They have to be trained in the Qilin Tomb to be able to survive Not many people came out.Although this kind of selection is cruel, but because the trainees are all orphans, instead of dying on the side of the road without knowing when, being able to enter the palace to be the emperor's personal guard, it can be said that it is a step up to the sky, and has received the great honor of the royal family. favor.

Zhou Xian said with fascination: "Back then, General Yuan, who was so famous, was also from Qilin Guard."

"This is the only one out there." Song Qianzhi said, "Since then, the Qilin Guard is only the emperor's personal guard, and the royal family has sealed off the passage for the Qilin Guard to ascend."

"But I don't know why?" As a Qilin Guard, Zhou Xian was very curious about that legendary general, and he didn't know why the Qilin Guard only chose orphans later, and made a rule decades ago that he was not even allowed to have a family.

"You only know that the Qilin Guard produced General Yuan, but you don't know that the Qilin Guard also produced a prime minister, whose surname is Xue, who is proficient in both martial arts and martial arts. It was this Zaifu surnamed Xue who made the rule that Qilin Guards only accept orphans, and they can only exist as the emperor's personal guards, and will never change their positions." Lu Guan said slowly.

"How do you know this?" Song Qianzhi wondered, these secrets are not recorded in Lintai.

Lu Guan: "I heard from books."

Song Qianzhi: "..."

"Sometimes what the Tianqiao artists say is quite true." Zhou Xian smoothed things over.

On the day he arrived in Mengzhou, Sun Junye came to welcome him in person, and held a banquet at the most luxurious restaurant in Mengzhou city that night to welcome Song Qianzhi.

Sitting at the banquet was a young general, heroic, and very tall, dressed in black and heavy armor, the floor trembled when he went upstairs.

Sun Junye stopped talking, and turned towards the stairs.

Song Qianzhi saw the man first.

"This is Li Qi. Nephew Li Xian, this is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Song Qianzhi, the inspector of the four prefectures, Mr. Song. Thanks to him moving to the Zhenbei Army, otherwise Mengzhou would be in danger. You are late, these three cups Fine wine first, and then you will toast Mr. Song three cups." Sun Junye waved to Li Qi with a smile.

Li Qi entered the table and sat down beside Lu Guan.

Lu Guan frowned invisibly.

☆, wonderful girl (eight)

Without waiting for Song Qianzhi to speak, Li Qi punished himself with three cups and said with a laugh: "No hurry, Master Song, I have a lieutenant general who is said to be an acquaintance of the Lord. He has gone to patrol the camp and will come later."

Song Qianzhi chatted with Li Qi back and forth.

Li Qi was very young, and he was an acquaintance. He vividly talked about how to kill the enemy on the battlefield, how brave the Heidi people were, and how they were beaten to death. The atmosphere instantly became heated.

"General Bai is really powerful." Song Qianzhi didn't get the news all the way that Bai Guyou led the army himself. Only now did he know that Bai Guyou first sent a general to send a surprise army to the south. Two days later, he made arrangements for the northern pass. When it was ready, he rushed to Mengzhou with five hundred elite soldiers, marched all the way, and after joining the army, he broke the siege of the Heidi people with fire overnight.

"That's right, I and General Bai cooperated internally and externally to defeat the Heidi people. General Bai led the army to win consecutive battles and drove the Heidi army out of Mengzhou all the way." Li Qi said with red eyes, regretting: " It's a pity that I can't vote under the command of General Bai, this battle made me feel that only if I have been a subordinate of General Bai, it is not a return to the army for nothing."

"It seems that I must meet General Bai." Song Qianzhi said with a smile.

The sound of the pipa behind the screen gradually weakened, and the sweet and soft female voice sang Mengzhou flower music.

The local dialect of Mengzhou is different from the official dialect. Nowadays, most of the people in Mengzhou city speak the official dialect. Although they have a slight accent, they can be understood.It was the first time that Song Qianzhi heard the authentic Mengzhou dialect. The charming and affectionate soft words wafted from behind the beauty's screen, which made people wonder what kind of charming woman she was, playing and singing gracefully.

When the wine was full, someone came up downstairs.

Li Qi clapped his hands and laughed, "My pair is coming."

Lu Guan: "You can tell that General Li is your lieutenant general just by hearing his footsteps?"

Li Qi waved his hand: "Listen carefully, please stop singing for me."

Song Qianzhi listened intently for a moment, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, one light and one heavy, very regular and rhythmic.

"Is he lame?" Song Qianzhi asked.

Li Qi nodded appreciatively, and sighed: "One day, the Heidi people attacked at night and threw fire packs into the city, burning down many bungalows. In order to rescue an old woman who was trapped in the house, this person was hit by the falling beam of the house." The broken right tibia has not yet healed. The military doctor brought by General Bai is highly skilled, and he said that he may be able to recover after half a year of care. However, even with a lame leg, he is still the bravest soldier under my command."

Song Qianzhi stretched his neck to look towards the stairs.

"It's him." Lu Guan was close to the stairs, and he could already see that he was an acquaintance.

Song Qianzhi almost stood up, restrained himself, and asked Li Qi, "Who is this?"

The burly man who came up was Long Jinshan. When he saw Song Qianzhi, he was taken aback for a moment, and then came up to salute with his fists clasped.

Coincidentally, Long Jinshan also pretended not to know him, and Song Qianzhi pretended to be more frank.

Long Jinshan didn't change his name and surname, he started as a soldier at the most common level, and after just one battle, he was promoted to Li Qi's lieutenant general.

After eating, Song Qian had doubts in his stomach, but he still had to hold back when he got into the carriage.They took Sun Junye's carriage and went to live in Sun Junye's state government office. Sun Junye fell asleep after getting in the carriage, and he drank the most during the banquet.

As soon as he returned to his room, Song Qianzhi couldn't hold back anymore.

"Why did Long Jinshan join the army in Mengzhou?"

Lu Guan took his robes and pushed Song Qianzhi out. The two of them hadn't showered for three days on the road, and they almost stink.

Song Qianzhi endured it again.

There is also a big bathhouse in the Yamen of Mengzhou Mansion, which is bigger than the one in Andinghou's Mansion. Song Qianzhi immediately forgot to ask about Long Jinshan, and lay lazily on the edge of the pool, with Lu Guan on his back Rub it back and forth.

Song Qianzhi half-closed his eyes, his neck and shoulders were flushed red, Lu Guan hugged him from behind after wiping his back, and let him sit on his body.

Song Qianzhi heaved a sigh of relief, then opened his eyes slightly, frowned, hugged Lu Guan's neck with his hands behind his back, leaned against him patiently, and gasped in a low voice.

Lu Guan lowered his head and kissed his cheek and the corner of his mouth very gently.

Originally, Song Qianzhi was still thinking about Bai Guyou, but now he couldn't think of anything else, and opened his mouth to respond to Lu Guan's kiss.

Sweat melted into the pool water, and the skin was soaked in hot water to make it soft and smooth, and the rubbing of the skin brought an indescribable intimacy.The exhaustion and tension of running around for days have all relaxed.

After the matter was over, Song Qianzhi lazily leaned on Lu Guan's chest, and when he was about to fall asleep, he heard Lu Guan talking in his ear.

"Get up?"

Song Qianzhi: "Let's soak for a while." His voice has a strong nasal sound, full of satiety, like a cat after eating.

Lu Guan's hand stroked Song Qianzhi's chest and abdomen, as if he was bathing him.

Close your eyes, as if you can hear the copper bell under the eaves outside the window.Song Qianzhi's thoughts drifted far away. The mother, grandfather, aunt, and the Zhou family all have an innate tenacious vitality, and they are getting closer and closer to Chun.When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, my mother's illness should improve.

The Heidi should have been expelled by then as well.After the court is stabilized, Lou Jiangyue's case must be explained to the higher-ups, and Fu Mingshao will once again want to bring down Li Yeyuan and completely expel the Zhou family from the center of power.

Song Qianzhi frowned, with a heavy breath in his chest that he couldn't get rid of.

Then Song Qianzhi thought of Qin Yuning. After the death of his grandfather, Qin Yuning, a big disciple, did his part to become the representative of the Zhou School.

When Zhou Wanxin was young, Zhou Wanxin brought Song Qianzhi back to Zhou Taifu's residence. Qin Yuning often went to ask Zhou Taifu for advice. When Song Qianzhi went to Zhou Wanxin, he would always see Qin Yuning and Zhou Wanxin talking under the verandah.Even though Zhou Wanxin had been married for many years, Qin Yuning still called her "Second Miss".

Song Qianzhi lazily opened his eyes, thinking: Why did Uncle Qin tell him to kill Fu Mingmao?

Why did Li Yeyuan maintain correspondence with his grandfather all the year round?

At least three years ago, Fu Mingshao was quite dependent on Li Yeyuan. This dependence was established for an important reason, that is, Li Yeyuan had no relationship with his grandfather.Or, the grandfather tricked the young emperor.

All emperors who have no roots have to look for support when they are young. The Empress Dowager Zhou is Fu Mingshao's support. Similarly, the Zhou family's intertwined power in the court is also what Fu Mingshao wants to borrow.

The Empress Dowager Zhou knew that Fu Mingshao would try to get rid of the control of the Zhou family when Fu Mingshao's wings were full, so after the death of the Taifu, the Empress Dowager Zhou began to win over Li Yeyuan.In this way, Li Yeyuan would naturally become a thorn in the emperor's eyes, but if this thorn was removed, who would replace Li Yeyuan?

Song Qianzhi suddenly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lu Guan's waist was pressed against Song Qianzhi's hip, he moved, and at the same time, Lu Guan also opened his eyes.

Song Qianzhi leaned on Lu Guan's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "If the emperor overthrows Li Xiang, who will take Li Xiang's seat?"

"Qin Yuning, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is used by the emperor to check and balance Li Xiang. Once Li Xiang falls, the next target is Qin Shangshu." Lu Guan thought about it carefully, and went through the list of high-ranking officials in his mind, "It may be Yang Wen .” He paused.

"What do you think?" Song Qianzhi heard the overtones from the pause.

Lu Guan hesitated, and said, "Otherwise, he will be among the criminals."

"Criminal?" Song Qianzhi did not expect this.

"Those nobles and ministers who were not driven out during the battle for the heir apparent, if the emperor gives them a chance to reform themselves, it will be a great grace of the emperor. These people and their descendants will all be devastated by the emperor."

"After the guilty minister..." Song Qianzhi mused, "It's not that there is no such precedent, but if you want to stand against Li Xiang, you won't be a poor family. The nobles who were exiled to search their homes, the nobles who were convicted of crimes during the first emperor." He sipped his lips. Lips, elbows touched Lu Guan, "Get up, feet are soft from soaking."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lu Guan's mouth, his cheeks were flushed, as soon as he stood up, water droplets slid down his beautiful bronze skin.

Song Qian's face turned red.

"Come up." Lu Guan stood naked by himself, motioned for Song Qianzhi to come over, and wiped him with a dry cloth. Under Song Qianzhi's gaze, he raised his head little by little, but Lu Guan remained unmoved. His neck was red, so he wiped Song Qianzhi's skin dry, put him in clean single clothes, and wrapped him in a robe before he went to put on his own clothes.

Taking a bath was so comfortable that Song Qianzhi couldn't think of anything else when he was on the couch, he just wanted to sleep.

This sleep did not wake up until the next day when he was on the road. Lu Guan carried him onto the horse and rode behind him. Song Qianzhi dozed off on the horse's back, but the sleep was very uncomfortable. When he woke up, The horse was already galloping on the official road to Fengping Gorge.

The fast horse drove for a whole day, nearly [-] li, and passed through Hongping County. Song Qianzhi got off his horse to have a look.Hongping County was burned to the ground. There were city ruins standing in the wilderness. The bones of people, cattle, and sheep were exposed to the scorching sun.

In the evening, they stayed at the posthouse closest to Fengping Gorge. More than half of the officials in the posthouse had left, but the postmaster was still there.The house was dilapidated and dilapidated, barely enough to live in, and there was no horse to replace. After settling in, Lu Guan went down to feed the horse. Song Qianzhi checked the luggage, put away the official seals, and sat behind the table to write a letter. After leaving Beijing, he briefly wrote down what he saw every day.

After finishing writing, Song Qian went down to find hot water, and saw a man standing over the stable.It was Lu Guan.Song Qianzhi took two steps towards the stable, and saw a figure beside Lu Guan.

"Master Song." Zhou Xian called out.

Song Qianzhi wanted to eavesdrop for a while, so he had to walk over embarrassingly.

"Why are you up? Don't take much rest." Song Qianzhi patted Zhou Xian on the shoulder.

"It's all skin trauma. It's almost healed. Let's move around more. I lay down too much a few days ago, and my hands and feet are stiff. I plan to get up early tomorrow morning to punch." Zhou Xian said with a smile.

"The Qilin Guard is different." Song Qianzhi smiled.

Several horses were concentrating on grazing, and there was only the sound of the horse's nose snorting in the entire stable. When the horse chewed, its lips opened like waves. Song Qianzhi stared at it for a while, and suddenly regained his senses.

"It's time to arrive tomorrow, and I'm still a little nervous." Song Qianzhi looked at Zhou Xian, "What kind of person is General Bai? Is he fierce?"

"Not necessarily, it's very majestic. Mr. Song is entrusted with an imperial edict, and he is an imperial envoy. General Bai will treat him with courtesy."

"What does it look like? Big beard?" Song Qianzhi said softly.

Zhou Xian laughed: "I'll see you tomorrow, I'm the most clumsy, I can't describe it. I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed. The two adults should go to bed early."

After that, they each said their goodbyes, Song Qianzhi watched the horses eating grass for a while, Lu Guan came over to hold his hand, and went back to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan were awakened by a sound at the same time, and Lu Guan held Song Qianzhi's shoulder tightly with one hand.

The two held their breaths to listen to the movement outside.

Song Qianzhi frowned: "The swords are activated, go to the west."

Looking at each other, Lu Guan said in a deep voice, "Zhou Xian, don't move, I'll go."

Lu Guan raised his sword and rushed out on his front foot, and Song Qianzhi also got up and put on his clothes on his back foot, raised his sword and rushed out.

In the yard, Zhou Xian was already wrestling with people, Sen Leng Dao's light splashed fiercely, Lu Guan was involved in the battle like a whirlwind, the man in black who was sneaking up suddenly fell into the wind, his left arm was injured, and he dragged him with difficulty. hanging down.

Song Qianzhi was about to rush over when the man in black grabbed Zhan Xing's long whip.

"Ah..." Zhan Xing exclaimed, and the man in black dragged Zhan Xing, who couldn't hold back, with a long whip, and grabbed her by the neck.

"Let me go." The man in black said in a low voice.

"You let her go." Zhou Xian said.

"Master, leave me alone!" Before Zhan Xing could finish his sentence, his entire head was forced to lift up, with a painful look on his face.

"I left from the south and I will let her go when I get to a safe place. If someone chases me, I will kill her immediately." The black-clothed man's hand was so strong that Zhan Xing's snow-white neck was reddened, as if he was about to A swan with a broken neck.

Before dawn, the three of Song Qianzhi left the post house and went south to find Zhan Xing according to the conditions of the man in black.Song Qianzhi originally wanted Zhou Xian to rest in the posthouse, but Lu Guan disagreed.

"It's aimed at Ba Xiajian, Zhou Xian must stay with us."

So the three of them moved together, took their luggage, and found Zhan Xing who had been knocked out by the lake less than twenty miles south of the post house.

Song Qianzhi helped her up, sniffed, helped Zhanxing get up, and saw a red mark on the back of her neck.

"Just knocked out, it's okay."

Zhou Xian led Zhan Xing on horseback, Lu Guan and Song Qianzhi each rode a horse, and immediately set off to Bai Guyou's camp.Before noon, Yuanmen was within sight.

Curls of white smoke lingered above the barracks, it was time for the fire to be cooked, and the end of the camp could not be seen at a glance, the place was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and a narrow road passed through the mountains on one side.

Xiaobing checked Song Qianzhi's official seal and went inside to report.

Without making Song Qianzhi wait too long, a general dressed as a fourth-rank military officer stepped out, holding Song Qianzhi's official seal in his hand.According to the envoy's seal, Song Qianzhi asked people to bring in the official seal of the young prison before it could be engraved.

The visitor clasped his fists and said, "Master Imperial Envoy."

Song Qianzhi took back the official seal and put it away, and introduced Lu Guan and Zhou Xian to the military officer, and when he was about to enter, the military officer stretched out his hand to stop him.

"My lord, women are not allowed to enter."

Song Qianzhi was about to explode, Zhan Xing took the initiative: "I won't go in, the young master will go to work first."

Zhan Xing winked at Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi was silent for a moment, then asked the military officer, "Where is the nearest town?"

"Please, girl, go ten miles to the southwest, and there will be a small town where you can temporarily settle down."

Zhan Xing took out a small bundle and gave it to Zhou Xian.

"Thank you for taking care of me all the way." Zhou Xian said.

Zhan Xing took a deep look at him, said no more, got on his horse and left without a trace.

Although Song Qianzhi was worried, no one could leave now. Without Zhou Xian, he would not be able to explain the matter of asking for help with the sword commanded by the late emperor. Besides, there was a surprise attack last night, and Zhou Xian definitely couldn't act alone.Although Zhan Xing's martial art is weak, he has always been clever, and the enemy tends to despise women, so maybe he can find out some news.

"My lord, please, the general will go down to patrol the camp, and he will go to the Chinese army tent to receive the order later." The military officer made a gesture and led the three of them into the camp.

☆, Wonderful girl (nine)

In Suxi County, which is less than [-] miles away from Fengping Gorge, the people fleeing to the west have returned home one after another. The busiest ones are masons, who are used by every household to repair their houses.

"Brother Su, come down to eat." A bright and attractive woman, holding a red and black food box in her arm, waved to the roof.

"Hey, come here." Yan Licheng carefully covered the tiles in his hand, and then got down the ladder.

The girl put the food on the table, Yan Licheng stood still and did not go over, a man with a hunchback and waist, his shadow dragged on the ground for a long time.

"Your junior brother hasn't come yet, brother Su waiting for him to eat together?" The girl blinked and asked him, setting out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

"Well, wait a minute." Yan Licheng squatted on the side of the street to clean up the mud on the soles of his shoes, and looked towards the other end of the long street north with a pair of piercing eyes. The chopsticks were handed to him, and he held them absent-mindedly. I did, but didn't put down the chopsticks.

"The food won't taste good when it's cold. I've saved another dish for Brother Lin. Brother Su, let's eat first." The girl smiled and the small dimples on her cheeks looked very sweet.

Yan Licheng withdrew his gaze, and just as he took a bite of the rice, the girl across from him suddenly stood up and shouted at the same time: "Brother Lin!"

At the intersection of the street, a man in black clothes stumbled towards him, his right hand was pressing on his left arm, his face was gray, it was Gao Niande.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?" The girl grabbed Gao Niande and led him into the house.

"Girl, please go and buy some gold sore medicine." Yan Licheng touched his body for a long time, but found no money.

"I have, I'll go." The girl ran out anxiously.

"Get up." Yan Licheng helped Gao Niande up, took off his clothes, and exposed his upper body. Seeing that he had two sword wounds on his left arm, which were still bleeding, he had to tear off the cloth and bandage it up first, and wait for the girl to buy medicine return.

"I didn't succeed." The arm was tied with a cloth strip, and it was tightened, which made Gao Niande groan in pain.

"It's good that you are safe." Yan Licheng inspected Gao Niande's body worriedly, but found no other wounds, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "You are too impatient."

"If you don't get the Baxia sword for a day, and your majesty can't justly ascend the throne of God for a day, you and I will never have peace." Gao Niande said dejectedly, "as long as Song Qianzhi goes to the prison of Rongzhou Mansion to question him, he will know about me. Not chasing you, but running away with you. Qian An’s cover for us will also be exposed, and he will definitely propose to Fu Mingshao to withdraw the Qilin Guard. At that time, you and I will really be homeless gone."

"You and I are not the only subordinates of His Highness." Yan Licheng disapproved, "There is nothing wrong with living in this small place. As long as you follow me, where can't you settle down?"

Gao Niande's expression was complicated, he hesitated to speak.

Yan Licheng went out to bring in the food. Gao Niande was handicapped with his left hand, so he had to eat slowly with his right hand.

"I'll feed you." Yan Licheng raised his chopsticks calmly, took care of Gao Niande after finishing his meal, and then picked up his own bowl.

There is only one medical clinic in the entire Suxi County. After entering the county, Zhan Xing first found an inn to store the horse in the store, and found out about the medical clinic.

"My little brother, is there someone here today..." Before Zhan Xing could finish his sentence, a woman ran in in a panic, and rushed to the cabinet out of breath.

"Where is the doctor? Doctor, I want medicine for golden sores."

"May I ask which kind of medicine for golden sores do you want? There are Anqingtang's and Lushan's..."

"Which one works best? My elder brother was stabbed by a sword and bled a lot."

"Then take this." The doctor opened a drawer, rummaged to find a box, opened it, looked at it, and put it on the cabinet, "It's not cheap, two taels of silver for a box, miss?"

"Yes, yes." The girl nodded repeatedly, took out the silver from her purse and put it on the cabinet, grabbed the medicine box and ran out again.

"Miss, are you seeing a doctor or taking medicine?" the man asked Zhan Xing.

Zhanxing followed without saying a word.

The military officer led Song Qianzhi to rest in the camp south of the Chinese army's tent, and ordered the soldiers to lead the horses to feed them.

There was no one in the tent, and there was no quilt on the camp bed, as if no one lived there. After a while, a soldier came in to add water, and Song Qianzhi called to stop the soldier.

"Your general hasn't come back yet?"

The little soldier said: "My lord, it will take at least one or two hours for the general to go down for inspection. Before the adults came, the general and General Wang had been down for almost an hour."

Song Qianzhi didn't say any more, and the soldier went out after filling the kettle.

Lu Guan took out the imperial decree from his bag and put it on the table. Thinking of something, he stretched his chin towards Song Qianzhi and said, "Your Majesty asked you to monitor General Bai's army. We can't leave after the decree is announced."

"The emperor always asks me to do troublesome things. Can I be used by General Bai's army?" Song Qianzhi smiled, took a sip of water from the bowl, and couldn't help but spit it out.
