The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 206

[Chapter 38]

Since the Duke was bound, the Prime Minister ordered him to arrest his henchmen, so that all the generals were in control of the army, and they were slow to pursue them.

The eldest son, Yun, who was sixteen years old, fought in Huaixi from Shiguan. He was known for his bravery, and he loved him very much.

There is a female character named Yujin, seventeen years old, and good at fighting. Every time she wears silver armor, rides a white horse, carries a spear and a bow, and goes out side by side with Yun, regardless of Xuan Jin.

In the thirteenth year of Tongtai, the Empress Dowager wanted to make Princess Yunshang Shuning, who was virtuous and virtuous, and everyone admired her. Yun Du was unwilling, and Yufu said, “I would like to marry someone who is like-minded.” Xu Zhi.

When the imperial envoy arrived in Shouchun, when the Duke loved his daughter to avoid disaster in Shouchun, Guan wanted to hand her over to the imperial envoy for custody. Yu Jin was furious when he heard that, and regardless of his weight, he carried his daughter out of the city. The righteousness was worthy of respect, and the imperial envoy sent troops to pursue her. The dead and wounded were all gone, and the two women were nowhere to be seen.

The imperial envoy was afraid, fearing that the cloud would not be bound, and urged Guanti to march to Zhongli.

Seeing that it was late, after five days, the army was raised, and when Zhongli arrived, Yun waited for a long time. Hearing the edict, he said, “Lu’s loyalty, and heaven and man learn from each other.”

Shi Yun led the flying cavalry camp, and the elites were crowned in Jianghuai. All the troops wanted to cut them off, and Yun ordered them to return to the camp.

——”The Southern Dynasties Chu History Zhongwu Gongzhuan”

On the third day of October, Chuzhou.

Pei Yun stood on the Zhenhuai Building, his mind was depressed, and the autumn colors in front of him had lost their luster. The result of the war in Jingxiang had already arrived in his ears. The confusion of the war made him stunned. The fierce battle in Gucheng and the confrontation in Xiangyang, all the changes are eye-catching, and Xiangyang’s loss and gain are even more puzzling, until the news that Lu Can was relieved of military power by Zhao Long, the lord of Southern Chu, and summoned to Jianye , Pei Yuncai vaguely understood that the bloody battle between Jingxiang and Xiangyang changed hands for one Lu Can.

But even if he figured this out, Pei Yun was more and more horrified.

There is a saying in the military that Jingxiang is the most important place in the world. The Yangtze River traverses east and west, connecting Wu and Shu, and it is convenient to enter Hunan and Jiangxi from the great river. From Guanzhong, going north to Nanyang, Luoyang, or by water or land, there are all passages. If you want to gain the world, you must have Jingxiang. Every time the world is divided and the feudal lords are divided, Jingxiang is the first battlefield.

In Jingxiang, Xiangyang, Jiangling and Jiangxia are all important military towns, and Xiangyang is the most important military town. Southern Chu owns Xiangyang and can go north to the Central Plains. Dayong owns Xiangyang, which can deter Jingxiang.

As early as the beginning of Dayong’s establishment, he kept a watch on Xiangyang, but at that time, Xiangyang was under the guard of Prince De Zhao Jue, and it was as stable as Mount Tai. It is the hatred in the hearts of Dayong soldiers.

It wasn’t until the eighth year of Longsheng that Jiang Zhe devised a strategy to use Yang Xiu’s opportunity to attack Huaidong to lure the enemy to the north, and then seized Xiangyang.

As soon as Xiangyang entered the hands of Dayong, Nanchu would have no chance to counterattack. Although Lu Can defended Jiangnan to the ground, he was unable to endanger Dayong’s foundation.

Considering the importance of Xiangyang, even Emperor Yong would not dare to give up such an important town easily, even though Emperor Yong was on a personal expedition, but Jiang Zhe actually used such a heavy force as a bait and let go gently. Although Xiangyang was finally taken back, after the fire, only the ruined and lonely city was left behind. , the people of Xiangyang have crossed south again, and it will be difficult for Xiangyang to restore the old view within a few years. Regardless of Jiang Zhe’s great writing, what worries Pei Yun is that, according to the news he got from Shaolin, this battle against Emperor Yong Li Zhi has been in advance. Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Zhe acted on his fate.

Putting aside the thrills of this battle, it was just Jiang Zhe’s courage that made Pei Yun feel terrified.

If it was an outsider, or he would still be watching from the sidelines, Jiang Zhe’s favor has long made many people dissatisfied. When the war was cemented, he still wandered between the mountains and rivers, and he did not ask about military affairs, which added many impeachment memorials to Emperor Yong’s case. , Now that he has committed such a serious crime, I am afraid that even Princess Changle of Ningguo can’t protect him.

Some people may want to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the trap, but Pei Yun can’t think so, let alone Jiang Zhe’s son Jiang Shen is a close disciple of his mentor, even he has been taken care of by Jiang Zhe in recent years.

Three years ago, when Yang Xiu attacked Chuzhou and Sizhou, Pei Yun could be said to be defeated.

Moreover, the assassination of Luo Jing, the governor of Chuzhou County, greatly offended the uncle Gao Rong. In addition to the defeat of Yangzhou, many ministers in the DPRK sent letters to ask Emperor Yong to convict Pei Yun, unless it was supported by Jiang Zhe. , Emperor Yong recites the merits of saving the car in the past, I am afraid that Pei Yun is now a criminal minister.

In the past few years, Pei Yun has recharged his energy, and the Xuzhou camp has fully recovered. It is the time when he is eager to fight. If Jiang Zhe is demoted, Pei Yun is deeply afraid that he will also be implicated. Therefore, compared with ordinary people, Pei Yun was most worried about Jiang Zhe’s situation.

Pei Yun, who was so worried in his heart, didn’t even hear Du Lingfeng’s footsteps going upstairs. He didn’t react until Du Lingfeng’s voice came in his ears, and only heard Du Lingfeng’s report: “General, Xuzhou has a book, the emperor is coming down. According to the decree, he rebuked Prince Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and General Changsun, and Marquis Jiang was demoted by two ranks, and later he issued an edict to dismiss the Marquis Jiangnan Xingyuan as counselor.”

Pei Yun’s heart was shocked, but he hid his worries, and said with a deep face: “It’s inevitable that the sage is so angry, but is there no one to protect the court? In any case, Xiangyang is still in the hands of our army.”

Du Lingfeng hesitated for a moment and said: “The news from Chang’an said that the emperor was furious when he heard the report of the battle, although Shi Xiang and all the lords have a lot of sympathy, but Mingjian Secretary Xiahou Yuanfeng took the opportunity to play, attacking Jianghou for being neglected. The duty, and the whereabouts of Jianghou in the past three years, one by one, the emperor was so angry that Longyan issued a decree to reprimand, and even remove the marquis from his post. I can’t keep it.”

Pei Yun sighed in his heart and turned his eyes, but seeing Du Lingfeng’s expression of unease, he smiled and said, “Since you accompanied Jianghou to Xiangyang last time, you have been trembling even when you mention Jianghou’s name. Sin, you should be happy, why is it like this?”

Du Lingfeng said with embarrassment: “It’s no wonder Lingfeng, my uncle didn’t know, the last time I went to Xiangyang with Jianghou, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. At that time, Jingxiang was still a part of Nanchu, and Jianghou actually lingered in Xianshan for many days. I am always worried. If the Chu army finds out that Jianghou has been damaged, let alone his life, I am afraid that the division will be implicated. However, Jianghou does not care about us guards at all, and even goes to see the Xiangyang City Tower in the distance. General Huyan and several of the guards were also trembling, fearing that something would happen. No wonder people say that Jianghou has a strange temperament. Ling Feng only hopes that he will not have to serve him again in his life. It’s not for Shishu’s sake. Shishu has always been very indifferent to fame and wealth, and the emperor also values Shishu. Even if Shishu is implicated, it won’t be a big problem, but for some reason, the disciples always feel that Jianghou. If you are demoted, I’m afraid it will be even more dangerous.”

Pei Yun’s heart moved. He never thought that this nephew, who was always straightforward and not very scheming, would have such a mind. Back then, Master Cizhen once said that Jiang Zhe was a man of deep wisdom, deep scheming, femininity and treacherousness, and there were evil shadows around him. If a master like Li Shun is accompanied by him, if he is not fettered, let him be free, and he is only afraid that a single thought will cause a shocking chaos.

Fortunately, this person was used by Emperor Yong. Although he felt sorry for the heroes of the world, he was able to bring about the unification of the country, which was also an extraordinary achievement. Moreover, this person was bound by the imperial power and could eliminate many hidden dangers.

Just now he learned that Jiang Hou was demoted, and he was worried. If Jiang Zhe was alienated from Yong Ting and even escaped into the lake, it would not be the luck of the world.

Unexpectedly, Du Lingfeng also vaguely thought of this. It seems that after years of experience, this nephew is no longer the reckless boy he used to be. With a slight smile, Pei Yun said, “Come to me these few nights, I want to see your entry.”

Du Lingfeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, knowing that his uncle was going to teach him his martial arts, he couldn’t help but gear up. Pei Yun looked at his heart and smiled and said, “Okay, I’m also a little tired. Let’s go to Dujialou for a drink.” Since three years After the sudden change of the former Chuzhou, the Dujia restaurant became famous in Jianghuai. Zhuang Qingpu’s righteous act of avenging his teacher and Dujialou’s green plum wine praised Jianghuai. Even Pei Yun loves this wine, but he is famous and inconvenient. He just went to the restaurant. Today, he was depressed, so he thought of going to Dujialou to relax.

Although Dujialou is already famous in Jianghuai, it is already in the old days, and it has not been expanded. The green plum wine has never been brewed more than before. Although the shopkeeper Du is a businessman, he has quite the style of the forest. If it is not a one-time talent, even with a lot of money, it is difficult to buy a jar of green plum wine.

In this way, the reputation of green plum wine has become more and more famous. Many ordinary people who can’t drink green plum wine will probably drink a few glasses of the old Du family wine. The Du family building is almost like a city. outside the door.

But Pei Yun naturally doesn’t have to worry, there is a pair of seats upstairs that are idle all year round, just to beware of people like Pei Yun, or the occasional presence of Jianghuai celebrities, but there is no seat.

After changing into casual clothes and walking on the street, Pei Yun felt a lot better. When he arrived at Du’s house, shopkeeper Du came out to greet him, but he had a strange look on his face. Pei Yun didn’t pay attention and just walked up to the second floor. , then heard a clear and warm voice say: “Xiaowu locks the Qin Tower, adding to the sorrow of separation. The wind pours the lamp into the golden pot. Yangguan is hard to stay after singing it over and over, this hatred is long. Make the wine of the Du family. After drinking the solitary cold, set up a light boat, and rest when you are drunk. Zhuang Qingpu’s poem has a profound artistic conception, which shows his talent. It is a pity for him to die at an early age.”

Pei Yun was stunned for a moment. Although Zhuang Qingpu was respected and loved by the people of Chuzhou, he was the one who assassinated the county governor, so few people praised him in public, so as not to fall into the ears of Yong Jun and cause trouble, and the tone of this man spoke. As soon as I heard it, I felt that he was a native of Chang’an, and since he was a native of Yong, why did he praise Zhuang Qingpu so unabashedly?

There was doubt in my heart, and I couldn’t help but stagnate, but I heard a familiar voice in my ear: “Although there is nothing wrong with what Ziliang said, it must be said carefully.”

Pei Yun was even more shocked when he heard the words. This person had just been demoted, how did he come to Chuzhou again, and when he turned his eyes, he found that in addition to the faint light in his eyes, he knew at first sight that there were elite guards sitting around. There was no local drinker, and he was even more shocked. After tidying up his clothes, he stepped forward to the wing where the voice came from and said, “Master Hou bent down and came here, why didn’t you tell Pei Yun, or let the last general hold a banquet as Lord Hou catches the wind and washes away the dust.”

From the curtain, Jiang Zhe’s elegant voice said: “Jiang has now been relieved of his position as counselor, if it weren’t for His Majesty Long En, I’m afraid that the title would not be downgraded only by two ranks. Why should General Pei be so polite, come here today , I just remembered the green plum wine here, but fortunately Lao Du still left a few jars, I don’t know if I was going to and fro.”

Pei Yun picked up the curtain and walked in, smiling: “Master Hou is not humiliated, and will be admired at the end, but I think that Your Majesty will eventually understand the painstaking efforts of Master Hou, and Lu Can will lose his military power. Even if he loses Xiangyang, he may not be able to come back, not to mention Xiangyang. I haven’t lost it yet.” I couldn’t help but secretly guess who Jiang Zhe called “Ziliang”, and why did it sound like there was some respect in Jiang Zhe’s voice.

When he walked into the wing, Pei Yun was startled. He was sitting with Jiang Zhe tasting wine and chatting with an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy. Extraordinary, the power is concealed and hidden, but what shocked Pei Yun was that the young man was actually the prince Li Jun, the deputy commander of Jiangnan Xingyuan.

With thousands of thoughts in his heart, all kinds of thoughts flashed past, Pei Yun bowed down on one knee and said, “I will meet the Prince Chisui at the end. I don’t know that His Royal Highness is coming, and I have never greeted him in person. Please forgive me.”

Li Jun got up and stretched out his hand to help him: “General Pei is flat, and the general guards Chuzhou, so that the Huaidong Army of Southern Chu cannot go north to Qingxu, and the hard work is high. Gu has always been aware of it, and I admire it. Please don’t be too polite.”

Jiang Zhe’s expression was sluggish. He sat motionless on the seat, but he didn’t see anything unusual about Li Jun. Pei Yun remembered that he had heard people say that the prince Li Jun and Jiang Zhe were very close. Without the frustration that he should have after being demoted, and with Li Jun obeying him, his worries were swept away, and he got up and said calmly: “His Royal Highness and Marquis have been subdued to Chuzhou, and there must be teachings. As soon as the order is given by the army, I will go south to wash away the humiliation of defeat on the day of the battle, and please ask Your Highness for instructions.”

I couldn’t help yawning and said to myself, “I think Pei Yun has been suffocated in recent years. Shuzhong, Jingxiang, and Huaixi are all fighting hard every year. Only Huaidong is almost calm. When I see Li Jun is going to fight, he is really impatient.” He glanced at Li Jun, who was talking with Pei Yun in some non-deep and shallow words, but his words were sincere, and his heart became more and more depressed.

This time, he designed to alienate the generals and ministers of Nan Chu, and even set a plan to greatly consume the hostile forces, but he also had the will to retreat bravely, so he deliberately concealed some key things and did not tell Li Zhi, even in the past. For three years, I was unruly. Sure enough, after the battle of Xiangyang, the articles of impeachment against me were like snowflakes, and Li Zhi was also furious and demoted my military title.

This was originally within my expectations, and it was just enough to reassure Nan Chu Huan monarch Quan Xiang to deal with Lu Can.

As for the blow of losing Junen, anyway, the next thing will not need the support of Li Zhi.

I was still thinking that after this incident, I would take advantage of the situation to retire, so as not to see the fall of my homeland.

Unexpectedly, I was content to hear the decree of denunciation, but secretly received a secret decree of commendation. Li Zhi didn’t blame me at all for doing things without permission, and he said that Nan Chu could defeat ten cities by destroying Lu Can alone.

Seeing that my escape plan was in vain again, why didn’t I feel bitter in my heart?

I just don’t know how things have progressed over there. Presumably within a month or two, there will be results.

December 5th, Jianye.

After walking out of Shang Chengye’s private house, it was already midnight, and the light snow that had been fluttering and fluttering all day during the day had not stopped. Zhong also could only dispel the darkness of Zhang Xu Fangyuan, Song Yu only felt that his heart was as bleak as this night.

I don’t know how long he walked in a daze, Yu Lun stopped, and there was a black lacquered wooden door in front of him. On the door was a green palace lantern. The light was not very bright, but in Song Yu’s heart, he felt that this was in the dark. The only ray of light.

Here is Liu Rumeng’s residence in Jianye Liuyuan.

Since the winter, the coldness has doubled, and Liu Rumeng abandoned the painting boat and moved to the city. Although the Liuyuan Garden is not big, it is quiet and elegant, and it often makes people feel like they don’t want to go home.

He reached out his hand to knock on the door, but Yu Lun suddenly felt timid. He stretched out one hand in the air, but he couldn’t move forward any further.

I suddenly remembered that before leaving today, Liu Rumeng held a red paper umbrella and stood in plain clothes in the snow. The general is loyal, the master and the monk are on good terms. If you can persuade him to make a gentle statement to the prime minister and avoid the battle between the generals and the prime minister, it will be a blessing for the country. Make relatives bitter and vengeful.”

But how did he do it? When Shang Chengye worriedly told himself that Shang Weijun was still hesitant to this day, he said, “It doesn’t matter whether General Lu rebelled or not, it’s just that Shang Xiang offended him like this this time. General, I don’t know if the general will forget this matter, this time the general was arrested without a hand, and he ordered the generals not to cause trouble, but I don’t know if the next time will be so willing to sacrifice life and death, and let the Prime Minister add to the crime.” Only Seeing Shang Chengye’s thoughtful expression, Yu Lun knew that Lu Can was one step closer to death.

In less than two months, the world has been turned upside down, not to mention Dayong since the battle of Xiangyang, the King Qi and the crown prince have been reprimanded, and even Jiang Zhe, who has always been favored by the emperor, has been reduced to the nobility and punished. A few days later. There was even news that Jiang Zhe’s military position had been dismissed by Emperor Yong, and even the Yong army had signs of shrinking its defense lines. All the signs indicated that the war that lasted for several years might end. The conflict became more acute.

Since Lu Can was released to Jianye, the lord Zhao Long just met him in a hurry and sent Lu Can to prison. Lu Can’s wife and children who stayed in Jianye were also placed under house arrest, and even Lu Yun, who led the army in Huaixi, was also under house arrest. After being taken into the capital by Ti Qisuo, only Lu Can’s son Lu Feng, his third daughter Lu Mei and his eldest daughter-in-law Shi Xiu disappeared.

However, Lu Feng and Lu Mei were not adults, and Shi Xiu was Shi Guan’s daughter. For the sake of Shi Guan’s knowledge and interest, Shang Weijun naturally wouldn’t go too far, he just ordered the arrest.

However, although he didn’t care much, Fengyimen frequently came out to search for the whereabouts of the three people. Yu Lun didn’t know why Fengyimen was so nervous. A master went to Huaixi to help the imperial envoy to arrest the people of the Lu family, but they disappeared without a trace. Shang Chengye was just gloating about this matter, but Yu Lun was secretly speculating in his heart, wondering if the secret camp shot?

I don’t know how long he was at a loss, Yu Lun suddenly felt a wisp of sword energy coming from the dark, and his long experience of life and death made him wake up immediately. Sticking to the wall like a dead leaf, his eyes were staring into the dark, his eyes were full of vigilance. Although the sword energy had no killing intent, Yu Lun did not dare to ignore it at all. The folding fan in his right hand pointed straight ahead, and said coldly. : “Who is watching here?”

A clear voice came from the dark alley: “Mr. Song, forgive me, I have been waiting for the return of Mr. here for a long time and want to visit the door. Unexpectedly, Mr. stood in front of the door for a long time, lest he would catch cold, so I used some methods to wake up Mr. , please don’t blame Mr.

At this moment, Yu Lun has returned to a cold state of mind. He lowered his eyes and remained silent. He knew that he was restless and didn’t notice someone in the dark, but that person must be an expert, otherwise he would not have been so easily concealed from his own eyes and ears.

With a hundred thoughts in his mind, Yu Lun said coldly, “Song is just a frivolous prodigal son, what advice do you have?”

The man was silent for a moment and said: “Sir, the son of the monk and the prime minister are friends, and no one knows about Jianye. Now the general has been falsely imprisoned, and I don’t know what his life and death will be, and no one knows where the prime minister is holding the general, so I take the liberty of going down. Come and ask me, the gentleman is elegant, not greedy for power, and everyone knows about Jianye, even if Shang Chengye can’t put him in the curtain, if he wants to come, he also knows the loyalty of the general, and please give him some advice.”

Yu Lun’s heart froze, it was not surprising that this person knew that he had a good relationship with Shang Chengye, but why did he know that he could find out where Lu Can was imprisoned, and that there were not many people who knew that he could influence Shang Chengye deeply. What is it? Man betrayed himself?

Thinking of Liu Rumeng in the backyard, she was one of the people who knew it, and for the past two months, she had repeatedly persuaded herself to do her best for Lu Can. Could it be that she betrayed herself.

An uncontrollable anger flashed in his heart, and an unyielding look flashed in his eyes. He said sharply, “I do know what you want to ask, but if you want me to say it, it’s impossible.” Lingjue noticed that there were two people in the dark, one of them was arrogant, and the other had deep inner strength. Although he realized that if these two joined forces, he would have no chance of winning, but he became more determined, and he was born to fight with death. Heart.

The man in the dark seemed to have noticed the change in Yu Lun’s momentum, sighed softly, walked out of the dark alley, and moved to the door. The dim light shone on his handsome face, but this man was a clothed scholar. The long sword, full of sword energy, with a faint glow in his eyes, stared at the surface of the overturned wheel, with a faint look of regret in his eyes.

Yu Lun took a step forward, and the folding fan in his hand shook gently, the beauty on the fan seemed to be hidden, but there was a sense of arrogance in the happy posture.

The clothed scholar clasped his fists and said, “Mr. Song has misunderstood something. I have no ill intentions, I just want to know the situation of General Lu.”

Yu Lun said coldly: “The life and death of the general is the matter of the imperial court. What does it have to do with you? You are just a commoner. You are not a member of the royal family, and you are not a son of an aristocratic family. Why bother with these nosy things?”

The commoner scholar sighed, “Sir, what you said is wrong. For the past two months, the general has been imprisoned, and everyone in Southern Chu has been worried about it. Not only civil and military officials have written letters to protect it, but commoner scholars have also complained about it. The rise and fall of the country, how can we say that we don’t do our business, Mr. has no intention of being rich and noble, and he has been wandering in the wind and dust. I heard that Mr. is a man, and I respect him in my heart, but why do you refuse to tell the truth?

Yu Lun sneered and said, “Your Excellency is deceiving himself and others. Although the general has made great contributions to the country, he is loyal and upright. The Nanchu family and civil and military officials respect him a lot, and despise him more. You can see how many of them have written to complain about their grievances. An official of the third rank or above, what about his confidant? Yang Xiu was silent, but he just wrote a few memorials to justify, and even took the military power in Huaidong with one hand, and secretly became a monk. His son-in-law was handed over to Shang Xiang, and he was even more willing to cling to the powerful. Yu Mian wanted to send troops, but it was a pity that Rong Yuan blocked the river and forced him back. There are three memorials in a row to impeach the general, and the last one directly accuses the general of collaborating with the enemy, so that the rebels of Southern Chu escaped, and Xiangyang was lost and recovered. Wu Ying’er’s two counts cannot be explained clearly. Not to mention this person, who is not thinking about killing the generals in Nanchu’s powerful family now, so as to snatch the military power he left behind. Even if there is someone like you The character takes care of the general, but what’s the use? Your Excellency can only deceive Song to be alone, even if Song told you where the general was imprisoned, what ability do you have to save him?”

The man was silent, but the man in the dark couldn’t hold it in any longer. He walked to the light and said coldly: “How do you know that the general’s heart is in your heart, if it wasn’t for the general’s suppression, I’m afraid that Nan Chu is already a beacon fire. All over the place, but if the general is really killed, I am afraid that those loyal generals will no longer be able to bear it, as long as you say where the general is imprisoned, we will never embarrass you.” The person who came later was a Taoist priest with a yellow crown.

Yu Lun smiled coldly, and swayed the fan intentionally or unintentionally, as if to continue arguing with the Taoist priest. Unexpectedly, when the folding fan was opened and closed, a black light suddenly shot from the fan bone to the throat of the Taoist priest Huang Guan. He didn’t expect that Yu Lun’s shot would be so ruthless, and he couldn’t be in a hurry. Seeing that the hidden weapon was about to take his life, unexpectedly, the sword light flashed, and the black light was shot to the side. , said: “You must be a ruthless person with such a method, look at the sword.” Before the voice fell, a sword light like a sword had already struck in front of Yue Lun.

Yu Lun dodged and flew back, shaking the folding fan in his hand, blocking the sword, the swords and fans intersected, and Yu Lun’s complexion changed slightly.

Seeing out the depth of the enemy, he stretched out his body when he crossed the wheel, just wandering around, looking for opportunities to shoot. Yu Lun was worried, this kind of swordsmanship was the most suitable for his assassin’s first-class martial arts, unless he took advantage of his unpreparedness, it would be difficult to have a chance to succeed.

Yu Lun was troubled in his heart, and the Confucian scholar was also terrified. This young man’s martial arts were treacherous and ruthless. He walked in his sword stance and swayed freely, but as long as he showed a little flaw, he would attack him like a ghost. The key point, after only fighting a few tricks, the commoner scholar had a strange feeling in his heart, this young man must be a killer with bloody hands, otherwise he would not have such skills and murderous aura.

However, although this scholar was a little uneasy in his heart, his sword stance became more and more calm.

The two fought less than 100 moves, although on the surface they were evenly divided, but Yu Lun faintly felt that his martial arts had been suppressed by the opponent’s swordsmanship, and he had a strong killing intent in his heart, so he simply used a move that would hurt both sides. The swordsman decided, for some reason, he faintly felt in his heart that if Liu Rumeng betrayed himself, it would most likely be for this person, so he hated him more and more.

The Confucian scholar frowned deeply. He got the information. This Song Yu knew a lot of information he wanted to know. Moreover, this person was lonely and had a very noble temperament. He should be able to use affection to move him. When I came to inquire, I didn’t expect this person to be desperate for some reason. Although he would eventually win, if he killed this person, he would lose the opportunity to listen to the news, and he would also be shocked by the grass.

With a slight thought, he frowned and said, “Mr. Song, if you don’t stop, I’m afraid the next brother will be offended.” After that, he continued to show his swordsmanship, forcing Yue Lun to become even more embarrassed, and he retreated again and again.

Just when Yue Lun took the third step, the Taoist Huang Guan flew up, showing a whisk in his hand, and went straight to Yue Lun’s back center.

The two have a tacit understanding, and just want to point the young man’s acupuncture point to restrain him.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lun seemed to have expected it. Just when the Taoist clicked on his vest, his figure was like a civet cat turned over. He ignored the bad luck of the long sword piercing his heart, and the folding fan in his hand shot out three strands of black. Guang, the Taoist did not expect that he would fight with his own, and seeing that he was about to die under the hidden weapon, he couldn’t help roaring.

At this moment, three silk-splitting sounds came from the silent and dark night, like a sharp blade from the netherworld, passing through a space of more than ten meters, and the black light shot out of the wheel broke off. At the same time, in the hands of the clothed scholar The long sword in his hand and the whisk in the hands of Taoist Huang Guan were both swayed by invisible forces, but by a tiny margin, the tragedy of losing both sides had been avoided, and the three of them were stunned for a while.

At this time, a black-clothed youth walked out from the dark, with a black veil covering his face, walked closer and bowed and said, “Young Master Song, you are offended, please don’t take offense for the sake of acquaintance Su Ri.”

Although this man was covered, Yu Lun recognized his identity at a glance, with a look of surprise on his face, and said uneasily: “What’s going on? Bai, Brother Bai.”

The man bowed and said, “Young Master Song, please forgive me. Daxia Ding wants to do his best for the general, but he doesn’t know the prison. There are old people in the He Pavilion, so I ask each other, the pavilion owner knows that Song Gongzi may know the inside story, for the sake of righteousness, he has to break the promise of the past and guide Ding Daxia to find the son, if you offend, please forgive me.”

Yu Lun’s complexion changed, his eyes gradually became clear, he looked at his former colleagues, and then into the darkness, he hesitated.

The man stepped forward again and said: “Song son, you and the pavilion master have known each other in the past, and the pavilion master also knows that it is too much to break your promises, but you also ask the son to see that General Lu is the pillar of Nanchu and cannot be destroyed. Come on, say whatever you want.”

A look of helplessness and misery flashed in Yu Lun’s eyes, and said, “I have received the great kindness of the pavilion master, and I have nothing to repay. Even if I die, I have no regrets. Since the pavilion owner inquired and knew everything, General Lu was imprisoned in the house. Qiao’s abandoned garden in the city, I am afraid that within a few days, life and death will be clearly defined. I also admire General Lu as a man. When General Lu dies, I will definitely go to see him off in person. It’s on the way down.”

Both the commoner scholar and the Taoist priest Huang Guan were overjoyed and stepped forward to thank them, but Yu Lun just smiled coldly and ignored them.

At this time, a few piano sounds came from the dark, with a faint consolation, and the thoughts turned over the wheel, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face, without knocking on the door, he jumped into the willow garden.

Then there was a whistle of Xiao sound in the dark, the voice was mournful, and it seemed to have infinite hatred, and it disappeared in the wind in an instant.

The commoner scholar was a bosom friend, and when he heard the melancholy implied by Xiao Yin, he couldn’t help but have doubts in his heart, and asked the masked young man: “Brother Bai, what is the relationship between this Mr. Song and Tianji Pavilion, if so? He is reluctant, I am afraid that the big event will be ruined in one fell swoop.”

The masked young man said with a smile: “Don’t worry about Ding Daxia, Song Gongzi and this pavilion have a very close relationship, but he retired from the world a few years ago, and according to the rules of our pavilion, there is no more involvement. , but the pavilion master treats him with a kindness like a mountain, and he is a person who values love and righteousness, as long as the pavilion owner instructs him, he will definitely not bear it.”

The commoner scholar put his mind at ease and said with a bow: “Please thank the pavilion master for your great kindness.”

The young man said solemnly: “Everyone is doing their best for the people of the world. What’s the matter of kindness? I’m leaving. If there is anything, please tell Director Han to know.”

After saying that, the young man quietly disappeared into the darkness, and the piano sounded in the darkness, which meant a difference, and was silent for a moment.

The plain-clothed scholar showed admiration on his face, and said, “The Master of the Tianji Pavilion is indeed a strange person in the world. If we hadn’t helped him, how could we possibly save General Lu.”

The Taoist priest Huang Guan had a puzzled look on his face and said, “The Pavilion Master Tianji always covers his face with white gauze, and even his figure is hidden under the robes. Brother Ding is really sure that he is the one we met on Zhenze Lake. people?”

The commoner scholar said: “Although his appearance and figure are invisible, but listening to his piano sound, it must be the Yun Gongzi who met that day, but a person like him will never reveal the truth to his face, but to be able to help him is already a blessing from the sky. , we won’t get to the bottom of it.”

When the Taoist Huang Guan heard this, he nodded again and again, but said worriedly: “After all, robbing the prison is an act of disobedience. I still hope that the lord of the country can appreciate the great general’s deeds in defending the society, and it would be best if he could issue a pardon. of.”

The Confucian scholar in plain clothes said: “I only hope that the gentleman’s kindness is like the sea, and I can realize the heart of loyal ministers.” After speaking, he also felt that this was a delusion, so he sighed softly, disappeared into the night, and disappeared in an instant.

The Taoist priest Huang Guan sighed: “Junior’s grace is nine cauldrons, but the minister’s life is light. When the prince died because of this, why did the general survive? I am also greedy.” After that, he disappeared into the night. .

At this moment in the Deep Palace of Southern Chu, Zhao Long looked at Shang Weijun’s secret book and pouted, but he was just killing a minister. Why are you so careful? It was submitted late at night, and he had to give death in secret. It was obviously a serious crime of treason, but He only sentenced his family to exile, and the idea of wanting a heavier sentence came into his heart, but after thinking for a while, he was too lazy to do anything, so he approved the word “ke”, and then threw the book on the table and stumbled backwards. Going to the temple, there is still a beauty waiting for him there.
