Xie Yun added: "Master, you don't know, I just had a very long dream."
Tongming: "What did you dream of?"
"I dreamed about my childhood... At that time, I didn't listen to your advice. I insisted on going back to Jinling. I felt that I had passed the sky and the sky, and I had completed my studies. I must return to the old capital to take revenge." Xie Yun sat on the edge of the stone bed , said softly in the fragrance of Jiao, "Actually, the old capital and my parents, I only have a little impression, I can't remember it clearly, I shouldn't have such a big obsession, I think it was escorting me and taking care of me all the way when I was a child. The reason why my prince and father-in-law repeatedly whispered in my ear."
The cause and effect of why Xie Yun was completely blue in the past, although Master Tongming knew it, it was the first time he heard Xie Yun talk about it himself, so he didn't interrupt him, just listened quietly.
"When I arrived in Jinling, the emperor and I hugged each other and cried. I used to be full of hatred for the country and the family, and I wished I could go back to the northern expedition the next day to take revenge. Later, I found out that it was not the case at all, and everyone didn't want to fight. I just want to occupy the southern half of the country and continue to be a dignitary. No one wants to destroy the family and rescue the hardship to 'recover the country'. The emperor has nothing to do with them. During that time, the emperor often called me together. Drinking alcohol, he will get drunk, and every time he gets drunk, he will spit out bitter water. I was angry, and seeing this, I couldn't bear it anymore. Please order to patrol the border, use tricks to lure people from the north, and lie to the army, deceive 3,000 defenders at the border, take the opportunity to retake the three cities, and use this great victory as a pretext to fan my father's old clan and an unreliable poor disciple. Attacking the Ministry of War..."
Tong Ming said with emotion: "You are young."
"I don't know the depth of it at such a young age." Xie Yun smiled, "Actually, at that time, the Northern Dynasty was the time when the soldiers were strong, but the South was flooded for two consecutive years. Even the emperor is just using the main battle and the main and the two factions to check and balance each other between the 'new party' and the 'aristocratic family' in Jinling. Everyone understands this truth, but I don't."
Zhao Yuan used "Prince Yide's orphan" to set a huge target for the main faction. He claimed again and again that he was preparing for the position of Zen. Fear that the Jinling court would fall into the hands of the half-eldest son who was thinking about revenge all day long.
Master Tongming asked, "What happened later?"
"Then the emperor ordered me to be the prince," Xie Yun said, "and then asked the great scholar to write the decree on behalf of me. I will be officially canonized as the prince on the day my teacher returns to the dynasty, and when I get married, I will The position of Zen returned to power. Since it has not been announced, it should have been a secret decree, but I don’t know where the rumors leaked, and it spread all over Jinling with turbulent undercurrents overnight.”
His tone was flat and indifferent, but these three words seemed to be wrapped in a terrifying wave, which made people feel chills after hearing it for a while.
The leaked edict was like a wildfire, igniting the worries and fears of the nobles in Nandu for the past few days. They did not expect that Zhao Yuan would be "weak" to such a degree that they had to make a desperate attempt to get rid of the future "Bào monarch".
"I was far from the front line at the time, and I was busy with defense and confrontation every day. I had to find a way to settle the people who were involved in the war... I didn't know about this." Xie Yunyi lowered his head, looked at his pale fingers, and said, "After all I'm young and ignorant." These rather bitter words were swallowed back, but he said in an outsider's tone, "Master probably also heard about what happened later. Our military rations were deliberately delayed, and the book I handed back to Jinling was detained, but I was helpless. Under the circumstances, we can only use dangerous tactics, but there are traitors in the army who leaked secrets, Cao Ning besieged the lonely city, and reinforcements will not arrive for a long time."
"For so many years, I've written jackdaws on the surface and sold 'blood' as a entanglement, but I haven't really mentioned this to anyone," Xie Yun said, "I just dreamed that every piece of it was like yesterday, and I suddenly endured it. I can't stop looking for someone to talk to."
When the incident happened, Emperor Jianyuan was furious, and the whole court was in an uproar.
Prince Duan is "Chinese orthodox" after all. It is said that the imperial students in Jinling City wrote a blood letter to cause trouble, demanding that the court severely punish "national thieves". The trouble became bigger and bigger. The old party in Jiangnan had to launch dozens of scapegoats to quell the trouble. For the first time, Zhao Yuan ruthlessly wedged his own nails against the monolithic Jiangnan forces. This "weak" young emperor relies on his incredible forbearance. , and finally came to this point step by step.
Master Tongming was silent for a while, before he asked: "At that time, there were soldiers who volunteered to be your substitutes, leading the troops to lead away Lianzhen, Cao Ning and others, and cover you to break through and escape. Why didn't you agree?"
If at that time, "If you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood", with his prestige in the army and the people, and in the future, you can't tell who will die in the end.
Xie Yun smiled and said, "I don't know, let me die."
After he finished speaking, he stretched his waist, and brought up the topic with yesterday, and asked, "Master, where is the knife that I used to beat a few years ago?"
"It melted, I didn't have time to open the blade," Tong Ming also tacitly stopped mentioning it, only said, "Your Uncle Chen said that your craftsmanship is not good."
"Oh, forget it," Xie Yun said, "I'll go and ask him for advice and fight again."
Tong Ming said, "Where is Ah Fei..."
Xie Yun said: "You don't have to tell her. It's useless for you to urge her for something that can be met but not asked for. It won't be too late to tell her when I really can't stand it any longer."
He said, got up and rolled up the scroll, and put away the letter Zhou Fei left him next to him, ready to read it slowly, then took a deep breath, slowly walked out of this small mountain, and rushed towards the beach. Chen Junfu called out, "Uncle Chen, do you have any good iron?"
The iron used in the handed down gods seems to have some origin. out of the ordinary.
Yang Jin looked at the broken cover that cut iron like mud with admiration, and felt that the iron swords in the sky seemed to be pinched by mud in front of it, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of knife are you using? Can you tell me to take a look? "
Before Zhou Fei could answer, Li Sheng first bào said: "Brother Yang, what time is it! Arrows are shot in the forest, ambush in narrow lanes, when the arrows are released in waves with clear rhythm and well-trained, they are definitely not ordinary mountain bandits... What are you doing, Ah Fei?"
His voice fell, and Zhou Fei had already rushed up against the arrow rain, brazenly cutting a path through the dense array of arrows, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye, and several screams rang out. People hurriedly followed, but after a while, Zhou Fei had already swept away leaves like the autumn wind, knocking down half of the assassins in the forest.
It takes a distance to shoot arrows, and once a person gets close, it will be difficult to exert their power, especially if there is a huge gap in the strength of the two sides.
Seeing that the situation was not good, those who fired the cold arrows immediately collapsed and fled.
Li Sheng gave Yang Jin a quick wink, and the two blocked the deserter's path one by one, and encircled them on three sides.
☆、Chapter 140
"A Fei, you..." Li Sheng was about to speak when he suddenly saw an arrow stuck under Zhou Fei's ribs, and was startled, "What's going on here, wait, don't move!"
After Zhou Fei heard the words, she glanced down indifferently, reached out and took off the iron arrow. There was not a drop of blood on the arrow, but it was flattened.
Li Sheng:"……"
Yang Jin next to him took a deep breath. He didn't expect that Zhou Fei's martial arts had reached the point of "copper skin and iron bones, invulnerable to swords and guns." Can you go this far?
It must be the medicinal farmers in Qingyungou who delayed his practice!
"I'm wearing armor, so what are you looking at?" Zhou Fei stretched out her hand to cover the torn robe, gave the two unseen hillbillies, and leaned over to look at the person they had put down on the ground. The people lying in ambush in the forest were all strong and strong men, covering their bodies with leaves and bark, hiding in the bushes, and covering their faces.
Zhou Fei: "Who are these people?"
Li Sheng turned the palm of a corpse's palm over, lowered his head to observe carefully for a moment, and then reached out his hand to open the front of the man's shirt: "Heart armor, command flag... What is this painted on the flag? I have never seen this before. all the way."
The drawing on the flag was a bird, unlike the hawks and falcons. It was very graceful, but its eyes were somehow mysterious and fierce.
Li Sheng said: "These people are used to bows and arrows, and it seems that they have also trained long wooden warehouses, machetes and other things. They can hide and ambush, and are forbidden by orders... Why do I feel a bit like soldiers. Look at the iron arrows they use, too, made of them. The spirit is good, the model is uniform, and the general rebels do not have such financial resources, or they will search one by one to find out if there is anything that can prove their identity."
Zhou Fei raised her head and looked at him, both of them looked a little solemn - although there is no order here for the time being due to the chaos of the war, it is still the boundary of the Southern Dynasty, and the soldiers and generals in and out of the army... seem to be from Zhou Yitang.
"Don't be rude," Zhou Fei said first, then thought for a while, and then whispered weakly, "Then what, we won't really hit my father's man, right?"
Before she could finish her words, a black shadow suddenly bào in the corner, there was a fish that slipped through the net, he jumped up while no one was paying attention, and Sa Yazi was about to run into the depths of the dense forest.
Zhou Fei was being confused by her own speculation. She didn't decide whether to chase or let go. She hesitated and moved a step. A narrow-backed long knife.
It turned out that Wu Chuchu took care of the picked up child and arrived a step behind Li Yan.
Li Yan rarely came in handy. She held the knife in one hand and waved at Zhou Fei and the others, and exclaimed triumphantly, "A Fei, there's another one here!"
There were about thirty-five or six archers who almost ran away, with dark faces and a scar on his face. He didn't speak, his eyes rolled first, and he looked very oily at first glance. He was obviously pretending to be dead. Search one by one", only to be reluctantly jumped out by Bī.
Li Sheng restrained the man and asked, "Who are you?"
The archer blinked, carefully lost a smile, and said, "Hero, spare your life! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and after seeing some beautiful cars and BMWs and wearing well-dressed, he wants to ask for some pocket money. Definitely not... oh!"
Yang Jin pulled out an iron arrow simply and crudely, then raised his hand and swiped the archer's face.
The severe pain caused a kind of fear of going blind, and the archer couldn't move, so he had to howl like a pig.
Yang Jin gave Zhou Fei a provocative look.
Zhou Fei didn't understand what it was like to compete, so she took a step back "with an open mind" and made a "please" gesture at him.
Yang Jin poked the archer with the tip of the arrow, and said with prestige: "If you don't tell the truth, it will be your eyeball that will burst next time. Do you want to try it?"
The head of Yang has dark skin and deeper facial features than ordinary people. If others don't know that he is a silly roe deer who likes to write half-words, just looking at this sinister smile, there are really some of the legends in the Central Plains that call people "can't survive, beg for death" "No" witch doctor appearance.
The archer covered his swollen eyes and cried out, "I, I, I am... a little soldier from the Turtledove army, obeying orders! Hero... no, young man! Hero! How many! An adult does not remember the villain's deeds, spare, spare my life."
Zhou Fei sounded a little familiar, so she gestured to Li Sheng with her eyes - he seems to be from Cao Ning?
"Well, Cao Ning has a well-known scout army, named 'Turtledove'," Li Sheng said slowly, "the army is very fast, it is said that it can travel thousands of miles in a day on the most difficult mountain roads, and penetrate everything."
The archer, the scout, nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the little one was ordered to go deep into the front line to inquire about the army, but I didn't expect..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Sheng interrupted him with a chuckle, and said to Yang Jin, "This person is not honest, Brother Yang, pop his eyes and let us hear."
Li Yan next to her raised her hand to cover her ears.
"Don't! Don't! Don't! What do you want to ask, young man!"
Li Sheng half-squatted in front of him, stared into his eyes and asked, "I still heard the name Turtledove from my uncle, and he specializes in surgery, and in a leisurely situation, who would charge a top scout like you as an archer? Use? Either you bosses are stupid, or you're talking nonsense...Which statement do you like?"
The turtledove's scout immediately shouted: "Stupid! It's stupid! Our boss is stupid! Young man, you can see that when you look at that messenger flag, it is a turtledove painted on it! Several teams have been allocated to the two adults, 'Jumen' and 'Po Jun'. Those two adults don't care, and they are assigned tasks at random. I also say, how can there be a reason for calling scouts to be assassins? "
"Giant Gate" Gu Tianxuan and "Po Jun" Lu Yaoguang are old enemies of the Forty-Eight Villages. Zhou Fei folded her arms over her chest, stood two steps away, and asked, "Why are you following them?"
The scout looked at the broken cover in her hand with some fear, and said cautiously: "Come... come and explore a way, Duan Wangye thinks..."
Zhou Fei interrupted him without expression: "If you say 'Duan Wangye' again, I will break your teeth."
The scout was very obedient, and immediately changed his tune: "Then Cao, Cao Fatty have been constrained by the imperial court...the puppet dynasty has frequently hindered him, so he desperately wanted to take down the six cities in Jiangling to stop the prince-his eldest brother's mouth, and set his tone to attack the west. The plan is to order those two big... big Beigou to lead the army around to the enemy's line... No, no, it's my Chao and my Da Zhao's rear..."
"Oh," Zhou Fei said lightly, "Brother Yang, you can do it."
Yang Jin glared at her - these two brothers and sisters really regarded him as a thug!
"What I said is true! Girl! Heroine!" The scout screamed in agony, "Swear on my own mother and father, and on the eighteenth generation of my ancestors!"
"Bypassing the enemy's formation means bypassing the enemy's formation," Zhou Fei raised her eyebrows. "Will you be able to fly or escape? If it were so easy, I would have taken off Cao Zhongkun's head and used it as a ball to kick."
"No, no, listen to my explanation," the scout was frightened, but his mouth was even more agile, and he said quickly, almost without rest, "In order to prevent a large number of refugees from running south, Duan... That Fatty Cao had previously ordered people to spread all kinds of Southern Dynasties. Rumors, they said they were smack, they caught the refugees who had no ultimatum, and they all killed their heads, anyway, no matter how miserable they were, they were made up, and the two sides had been fighting, and this side was no better than the north, so it really stopped. The momentum of the refugees heading south..."
