Chapter 8

News of the Song army retreating from Jiangzhou spread, and officials from the central and local governments of the Song State, the imperial guards and the generals of the Xiang army all breathed a sigh of relief.

Until now, officials from all over the country are in a state of turmoil because of the soaring grain prices in the country. In the eyes of most officials, they are purely helpless acts of quenching thirst. However, no matter how much risks and hidden dangers are there, as long as they can buy enough food, officials at all levels have gritted their teeth.

Now the consumption of frequent liquidation in various places can be supplemented. The news of withdrawal of troops has been reported, and the prices of grain have also fallen. Officials of the Song State can finally have a good sleep. As for the decency of the court, in the eyes of many officials, even if they really conquer Jiangzhou, it is not necessarily decent.

The news of the withdrawal was handled by the government in a very low-key manner. The streets and alleys were only discussed for two days, and the citizens' interests were attracted by the news that Taiyi Zhenzong reunites with the Song Dynasty.

On March 16th, Taiyi Zhenzong was appointed as the head of the Emperor of Taiyi and went to Jingling Palace in person to give the title of the Lord of Song and presented the jade ball treasure book.

Jingling Palace is the home of the Lord of Song. It is a great honor to be able to enter the Lord of Song in the temple to hold ceremonies.

But Lin Caiquan knew very well that this was the result of obstruction by Taishi Jia and Shenxiao Sect. Otherwise, as he was, he should have entered the big house and met Master Song in the main hall, which would be considered to be officially recognized by the Song State.

However, Lin Caiquan accepted the arrangement of Jingling Palace without any embarrassment. Now it is not the time to worry. Taiyi Zhenzong was absent from the Song State for more than ten years and could only focus on slowly recovering.

On March 17, the day before the withdrawal of the troops was passed to the Jiangzhou battlefield, Lin Chong, who was dismissed and imprisoned for breaking into the White Tiger Hall with a knife, also received a formal verdict.

Lin Chong sat in prison wearing heavy shackles. The man who was once majestic, was so thin that he was almost disfigured. He was shocked when he heard the final verdict of the Taiwei Mansion: Isn’t it Yunzhou? Why did he be a slaughtered Jiangzhou? But the royal army won?

The prison guard sneered: Where did you win? You are preparing to withdraw your troops! In Jiangzhou, it is appropriate for you to be a thief who is a soldier.

Lin Chong's forehead burst out with blue veins. It's ridiculous! Since Jiangzhou is not owned by my Song Dynasty, why can it be matched with Jiangzhou? Could you be a entertainment family?

The prison guard was furious. Don’t say that this is the Grand Commander’s Jun Order, or even if it is a family who is a thief who is a thief, he will be a military officer! Don’t say that you are a coach, no matter how much he is, you have been locked up here! If you ask you to go, you can go. If you are no longer aware, be careful that the water and fire sticks in a certain family are ruthless!

Lin Chong calmed his anger and I wanted to see Taiwei Gao:

A big man came over: Don’t urinate and show off his virtue! What kind of person is Taiwei Gao? You can meet him whenever you want? Old Dong! Don’t gossip with this thief! He will beat him if he slaps more!

Two jailers threw the verdict into prison and came out cursing and called out: Lao Xue, Lao Dong! Someone is looking for it outside!

Dong Chao and Xue Ba arrived in front of the prison. A young man quickly stepped up, held their hands tightly, and said enthusiastically: I have been long-awaited for a long time!

Both prison guards were a little confused, but looking at the young man's silk robes and brocade belts, dressed in decently, he didn't dare to neglect them, and said carefully: Are you?

The surname is Cheng, who is a friend of Teacher Lin

Cheng Zongyang said from the bottom of his heart: I have heard of the names of the two since I was a child. I only had the fate to meet today and I realized the true face of Mount Lu!

Cheng Zongyang's enthusiasm is true. If it weren't for the lack of cigarettes at hand, he would have wished he could hand them one and then lit it with his own hands.

These two little people are not famous, but in Water Margin, they personally escorted the leopard head Lin Chong and the jade Qilin Lu Junyi to make these two heroes suffer. Cheng Zongyang would rather offend Jia Shixian than offend such little people

The palms of the two prisoners sank slightly, and they knew it was golden slaughter, so they swallowed the same saliva.

Dong Chao said: It turns out that he is a friend of Teacher Lin. Our family also respects Teacher Lin is a hero. He is busy in prison and does not let the coach suffer any pain. The coach's complexion is much better than when he first came.

Have some work!

Cheng Zongyang said: I'm going to hide it from you. I want to meet Teacher Lin this time. I wonder if it's feasible for you to do it?

Dong Chao showed a embarrassed look. Young Master, this prison is not easy to enter.

Cheng Zongyang held a purse in his hand and shook it gently. The sound was at least dozens of silver coins.

Dong Chao was still hesitating, and Xue Ba said: Isn’t it just a meeting? I’ll take care of it!

As he said that, he grabbed the money bag

Lin Chong held the verdict and leaned against the cold wall. He bit his teeth and made a sound. He wanted to kill the general, but his spirit disappeared and his heart was ashamed.

Suddenly, a familiar voice said: Brother Lin has such a disaster, why bother to be discouraged?

Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, then shouted: Brother Cheng!

Cheng Zongyang came in with a cloak. He did not mind the filthy ground. He spread his cloak and sat on the ground. He took out a pack of cooked meat from his arms and handed it in through the fence.

Lin Chong put the paper bag on the shackle and said with a wry smile: Brother Yu has fallen into this field, how can he eat it?

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Brother Lin’s demeanor is not as free and easy as our Senior Brother Lu. It’s just a small disaster. It’s about a foot of water, and you can pass it with just one leap.

He lowered his voice, just to be on guard against the villain

Lin Chong's eyes flashed slightly, staring at Cheng Zongyang

Someone wants to take your life

who?

Cheng Zongyang took out a pot of wine, took a sip, and handed it over. What do you think?

Lin Chong held the silver wine pot and said for a while: Imperial City Department!

If he had a tea at this moment, Cheng Zongyang would definitely criticize him for his face. He almost forgot that there was still this force, and they would have a share in this muddy water?

Lin Chong didn't want to say much, just said: Although Brother Yu didn't have much time in the Imperial City Department, there are some things... My good brother just needs to know that Lin is in trouble now, and the Imperial City Department must kill me to silence me

Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but say: If the Imperial City Department wanted to silence me, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the present?

If it were Yunzhou, it would be just Jiangzhou now... The Imperial City Department would not let Lin leave Song Realm

Lin Chong raised his eyes and asked: Why is it Jiangzhou?

This... It is said that Jiangzhou was intimidated by our Song army and cedeed the land to build a Taoist temple for His Majesty. Brother Lin probably was a sect to be a Taoist in Fireworks.

Lin Chong closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: Lin understands

Cheng Zongyang said intimately: Teacher Lin Ah Teacher Lin, I am preparing a gift for you in Jiangzhou, I hope you don’t let me down…

Lin Chong held the pack of cooked meat and suddenly said: Brother Cheng...

His voice trembled a little. How is my wife now?

Cheng Zongyang blushed a little, but fortunately the light in prison was very dark and he couldn't see it for a while.

Lin Chong and Ruan Xiangning are not only famous but also have different dreams in the same bed. They say they are Lin Chong's wife, but their relationship is so pure that they can't be more pure while Gao Yanei makes trouble. He put Lady Lin into bed in a few seconds. There is no need to feel any guilt towards Lin Chong. Lin Chong was deceived for more than ten years. Once it is exposed, it is too cruel to him.

Cheng Zongyang had no choice but to say vaguely: This... I don't know for a while

The light of expectation in Lin Chong's eyes gradually dimmed. After a while, he said: Zhu Jing is in Lin'an, please take care of my brother and Senior Brother Lu.

Cheng Zongyang said with a haha: Of course! Of course!

While Cheng Zongyang was talking to Lin Chong, Xue Ba ate the wine in a distant wine shop, then took the bag full of money from a middle-aged man, bared his teeth and said: Isn’t it the result of Lin’s life? It’s easy to say! We brothers did this!

Dong Chao said: We have also taken many stubborn prisoners. They are either small boastful or licensed goods that fall into our hands. Even King Li Tian wants to leave a garrison and ginger can make juice! A trivial matter is not enough to be captured?

In the Mingqing Temple vegetable garden, Lu Zhishen tightened his worn monk's robes and leaned a black Zen stick beside the table. The heavy stick pressed the wooden table with a squeak, tilted slightly, then Lu Zhishen bent down, tied the straw sandals on his feet, and patted the mud on his trouser legs.

A group of thugs surrounded Lu Zhishen and said: Master! Take us there!

Although our brothers’ skills are not very good, they cannot resist the fact that we have too many people! Then I will recite the coach Lin as well!

Noisy!

Lu Zhishen said: If you sprinkle a Zen stick in your hand, you will be able to leave the world! How can you do such a thing as killing officials and robbing prisoners? Don’t get into trouble with your family!

We know that the master is powerful, but a hero also needs three helpers. The master goes alone. What should I do if the official position is too close?

Lu Zhishen laughed loudly, and the sound was like a bell, which made the ears of the ruffians around him buzzed.

Just two bird officials! Come on! Take the stewed fragrant meat! When the Sa family is full, they can go and save my brother Lin! Is this a trivial matter, the Sa family is afraid that they will not be able to take advantage of it?

The red sun rose to the treetops, and in the stone Buddha temple on Fenghuáng Ridge, several monks came out in panic; in the distance, a monk in cloth clothes and shoes slowly walked up the bluestone steps in the sunshine

Outside the temple gate, the monk took off his hat and showed a thin face

The monks said happily: It’s good that senior brother is here!

Then he folded his hands together, bowed and said respectfully: Senior Brother Jingnian, how is the second generation Master good?

Pure thoughts and twelves, please return to the ceremony, Master

He raised his head and said calmly: Is there the whereabouts of Senior Brother Lu?

Just in Mingqing Temple, two junior brothers were injured more than half a month ago. We went to the temple to send a message. Unexpectedly, Master II would send his senior brother to take the horse personally. The journey of a thousand miles came in three days. The senior brother had really worked hard all the way.

Amitabha Buddha, for my Dafu Lingjiu Temple, for my ten directions of the jungle, why dare I say that I am suffering?

We kept staring at the thief monk. Today we saw him packing his luggage and seemed to be going out. Fortunately, my senior brother came here in time, otherwise he would have escaped again

A monk laughed and said: If a senior brother takes action, this time the thief monk will make it difficult to fly!

That's all!

A monk said happily: The thief monk is brave but not wise, and the senior brother will definitely be able to take action when he goes there.

Pure thoughts smile slightly, and clasp them together: Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate

The voice is soft and diluted, but has unwavering confidence

The sun shines into the dark government office, and a constable in soap clothes said: Let's set off today and stay overnight in Shahu Town. Two officials will be escorted by the Wild Boar Forest around noon tomorrow, one is Dong Chao and the other is Xue Ba

A man in a military officer's uniform said: The Cheng team was dispatched, with a total of six people, and the team was led by a martial arts doctor. Zhao Feng'an, the imperial guards and equipment, and the Chang'an Liusanmen headquarters also sent two detectives to support him.

A duck-like voice said: This company's job was done badly. Who knew that Teacher Lin would be so confused about lard and break into the White Tiger Hall with a knife?

The military official said: "Minister has been accused of Taiwei Gao in private, but the matter is being taken back is strange. Could it be that Taiwei Gao is annoyed that he provoked Xiao Yanei and deliberately...

A Diao Yan sitting in the head interrupted him. There is no need to mention this matter. Your Majesty's favor for Taiwei Gao is not under the big Diao Yan. It is all because Lin Chong is ungrateful and is responsible for the huge case, but he left a handle for others.

The last person of the three Diao Yan said: I was originally transferred to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice under the name of Grandmaster Jia, but I didn't know that this incident happened. Our Imperial City Department was disgraced this time. Now Diao Yan is in Jiangzhou. Don't let this little thing disturb him.

Everyone understood that everyone was trying to please the master, but unexpectedly, such a mess came out. If Li Xian, the envoy of the Imperial City Commander, knew that everyone would be sent to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb. In this life, they would not have to step into Lin'an.

Tong Guan

The little one is

Tong Guan said obediently: Good luck for the father-in-law!

The sable father-in-law sitting in the head touched the armrest of the chair and said warmly: This time, you can't be without the people in the palace. You can go there to calm their hearts. Do you understand?

A little understanding

Master Feng pushed a wax-sealed porcelain bottle in front of him and took it

Tong Guan carefully put away the porcelain bottle and said: Thank you, Eunuch Feng, Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Chen for your advice! Please be assured that you will be able to go there this time and be successful!

Eunuch Chen smiled and said: This little boy is smart!

As he said that, he lowered his head to drink tea, but a trace of great murderous intent flashed in his eyes

The sun rose to the sky, but it was as dark as late as the night in an An Yongfang house. The faint light outlined a beautiful back. Jian Yuji reviewed the files while listening to the rewards of the people behind her.

The two officials received the benefits of 200 silver zhu each and promised to lose Lin Chong's life on the road. The two officials were used to prisoners, with familiar roads, many methods, and courage. The time was set for one day. The place to start was wild boar forest.

Jian Yuji said softly: Lin Chong and Ning Yuji have been together for many years, and are also the person whom the Jiaozun personally ordered to monitor. Although there is not much value at the moment, he must not be allowed to live to Jiangzhou.

It is my subordinate who should do his best to never let Lin Chong go to Jiangzhou alive!

The man saluted Jian Yuji's back with his hands, then raised his head, and Lu Qian's face reflected under the light

You have done a good job in the Taiwei Mansion, but you still have to go there in person this trip and watch them get rid of Lin Chong

Jian Yuji said: This is the order of the Lord of the Sect, there must be no omissions.

yes

After Lu Qian left, Jian Yuji also wrote the last sentence on the file, then closed the file and took another copy from the side.

A pale palm stretched out from the shadow next to it, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it.

If Cheng Zongyang saw his face, he would definitely scream. He was Ximen Qing, a high-ranking official who had never met after parting in Wuyuan City.

He looked at Jian Yuji's back, with six points of admiration, three points of envy, and a little bit of sarcasm in his eyes.

Under the guise of having sex with Lin Chong, Lu Qian was actually Ning Yuji's contact person.

Ximen Qing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: Now Ningnu has been abandoned by Xian Ji, the disciple of the Sect also agreed to cancel the surveillance of Lin Chong. It is useless for Lu Qian to stay in the Taiwei Mansion.

So I asked him to go to the boar forest in person

Jian Yuji said lightly: Can a great official be a scoundrel?

Ximen Qing's peach blossom eyes showed a charming smile and said softly: I am sure I dare not give up.

Shang Hou arrived in Jiangzhou

Jian Yuji did not mention Lu Qian's words again, but talked about something else. It was really unwise for you to incite Long Ji Xie Yi to the Southern Desert that day.

Ximen Qing smiled and said: Xiaosheng wanted to see the achievements of Sister Qi's business for many years. Unexpectedly, the Ghost Witch King was so useless. Instead, it broke the plan of Sister Qi's raising Dragon God.

Jian Yuji said calmly: I didn't expect that Shang Hou would find the destiny man

Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment

Jian Yuji looked at the file and said: You and Aqi fought for power, I don’t care, but since you have provoked Shang Hou, you should calculate his possible reaction. Now Shang Hou and Xingyue Lake merged, which is the worst case.

Ximen Qing opened the folding fan, aren't you the same? Jian Yuji, who is perfectly wise, was still fooled by a boy named Cheng. He used the news that the dead soldier who had been hidden in the Yun family for more than ten years, but he still didn't expect that the boy could force Song to withdraw his troops.

I made a mistake

Jian Yuji said calmly: I thought that giving Ningnu would take up half of his time and energy, but I didn’t expect that he could even hold back the music and singing every night, and I didn’t expect that he would have the subordinate of Taiyi Zhenzong.

Jian Yuji was silent for a moment, and suddenly picked up his fingertips, accurately picked out a copy of the file about a foot thick, and spread it in front of him. On October 17th, Lin Caiquan went to Qingzhou. I believe they had met in Qingzhou.

Jian Yuji noted a note on the file, then put it back to the original place, and then looked at the file in front of her.

What are you looking at?

Food price

Jian Yuji said: I don’t understand why he can make money, but he insists on changing back to a pile of paper he printed on himself.

You might as well find an old Chaofeng from Qingzhou in this way.

Ximen Qing shook the folding fan and said: Do you really think you are a god who knows everything?

The official is right

Jian Yuji immediately put down the file and picked up another one. Her peaceful expression was not at all turbulent, and she seemed to have no response to his sarcasm.

This bitch! It seemed like a flame passed by Ximen Qing's heart. He took a sip of the cold tea before he could barely suppress his heart. He said in an slight tone: Since nothing is wrong, Xiaoshou will say goodbye first

Jian Yuji said without looking back: Lin Chong, Lu Qian, don't let anyone go

Ximen Qing smiled proudly and said: A prisoner and a slave, I, Ximen Qing, will take their lives without any effort!

Unfortunately, like the ridicule just now, Ximen Qing's pretended bold words did not arouse Jian Yuji's reaction, so he had to leave in disappointment.

Jian Yuji stopped writing, as if she was in deep thought, a servant with a scar on her face appeared and placed a new file on the desk.

Could it be Lin Chong?

Jian Yuji suddenly said

Madam Wu said with a hoarse throat: What?

Jian Yuji stroked the jade cheek with a finger and said in thought: I thought he was interested in Ningnu's beauty, so I inspired Gao Yanei to come and tease him. Could it be that the one he liked was actually Lin Chong?

Madam Wu smiled strangely and said: What is Lin Chong’s big deal? Even the old slave killed him!

Jian Yuji shook her head. Lin Chong was restricted by Ningnu's cultivation level by using the mingji technique. Now Ningnu's magic method has been lost. It is still unknown if it is not the case. Why did the teaching master personally order the removal of this little coach?

Jian Yuji opened a file. Have people from the Ten Directions Jungle arrived?

Arrived, it was the little bald donkey from Lingjiu Temple

Madam Wu said: Fairy, don’t worry, with Ximen official taking action, Lin Chong is not ready to take advantage of it!

Jian Yuji looked at the file and slowly said: Be careful not to have any major mistakes.

Lu Qian did not return to the Taiwei Mansion. He walked along the Yuhe River for a while, made up his mind, and then accelerated his pace.

Half an hour later, he knocked on a door, acted like a villain from a wealthy family, and said arrogantly: Yanei ordered! You come with me tomorrow!

Ruan Xianglin said: I will go out for a long trip tomorrow. Can I...

Don't forget the money you owe to Yanei

Lu Qian raised his face and said: I'll dress more beautifully tomorrow, remember!

Ruan Xianglin had a handle in their hands, and although she didn't want to go, she had to agree.

In a corner where Lu Qian passed, someone was also preparing for tomorrow's itinerary.

As the air fluctuated, the seal opened, and the cinnabar-like writings appeared on the earthy yellow straw paper.

Time: Noon on March 18th

Location: Wild Boar Forest Target: 800,000 Imperial Guards Instructor Lin Chong

Mission: Beheading

The girl held Yin Lian on her chest and said softly: Sister, we have a task

A moment later, a soft voice sounded next to it: How difficult is it?

Get it by hand...

The girl gently rubbed her white and tender little hands, kneaded the paper into powder, and grabbed it!

The wild boar forest is located in the mountains, with towering ancient trees within a few miles.

There is a map on the table, which was compiled by Yu Ziyuan based on the oral description of Jin Wushu and others.

Cheng Zongyang said: The road to the forest is very narrow, there is a stream in the middle, and after passing through the stream, there is a hill here

He clicked on the picture, which was the best place to do it

Qin Hui rubbed his fingers and said: But two officials and Master Lu help, it is easy to rescue Teacher Lin.

If there are only two officials, you still need to take action? It's enough to have monk Hua, but there is also the Imperial City Secretary. According to Lin Chong's intention, they may kill people and silence them.

Cheng Zongyang calculated: There is another possibility that cannot be ruled out: Black Demon Sea

The strength of the Imperial City Department is not easy to speculate. Once it is involved in the Black Demon Sea, with Cheng Zongyang's experience, things will become particularly difficult. God knows what accidents will happen.

There is no need to be missed in saving people. I also hope that Lin Chong and Chang Bo will partner with him and become the leader of the horse army! You must not make any mistakes!

Cheng Zongyang said decisively: Everyone will go tomorrow! Come and you are responsible for saving people; Ziyuan and the brothers in the chariot and horses are responsible for guarding the people of the Imperial City and the Black Demon Sea; Feng Dafa, Lao Shu, Lao Beast, Lao Bao, you four follow me, see clearly and then start.

Yu Ziyuan said: Where are the people in the Snow Falcon Group?

We don't know the details of these people yet, don't move

Qin Hui reminded: Who is in charge of the money house?

The money from Qingzhou has not been shipped yet, and there is not much left in cash. Hey, we, Taiwei Gao, have a good fortune. As long as we pay, the man from the imperial guards can help you clean the toilet, it is just right that the money house is broken. I will ask a team of imperial guards to build a house tomorrow. If anyone dares to rob, I will admit that I am unlucky.

Qin Hui said: The head of the family is planning and after all the heroes come out, just Lin Chong will definitely be able to capture it! Let the head of the family be put into his sleeves!

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Don’t sarcastically mock me for being a big deal. You must know that even a tiger fights a rabbit, let alone the situation in Lin'an is so complicated? I pay attention to it so much for safety reasons.

Li Shishi, who had been recording, raised her head: Where is me?

Cheng Zongyang had a headache. In terms of cultivation, Li Shishi was not much better than himself who had just arrived in the Southern Wilderness. Ordinary officials could deal with it. If he really encountered a tough guy, he would be difficult to protect himself. But if he left her alone in the garden, if he ran into Ruan Xiangning in the water pavilion, he would be unable to explain it all over his body.

You will go with me tomorrow

Cheng Zongyang made up his mind, it was your uncle.

Everyone was already bored in the city. Now that they were strong, both masters and many hard-working players, they could barely be considered as the territory of their own forces. This time, they tried their best to attack, and the lion fought against the rabbit, so how could they not be able to capture it?

The conversation is full of emotions and the atmosphere is joyful. It doesn’t seem like you want to fight, but it seems like you want to go on an outing

In the joyful atmosphere, Feng Yuan, whose beard burned out most of the time, had a bitter face. He grabbed the pineapple and said a little uneasy: Why am I so scared...

Yu Ziyuan hit him with his elbow. Feng Dafa, won’t you still hurt your butt, right?

It’s not that you don’t blame me for being a crow! I’m so pretty, why can’t I say something evil?

Feng Yuan said with little confidence: Do you think tomorrow will be a bloody storm?

The prophecy of the dignified Master Feng caused everyone to burst into laughter again

In the atmosphere of a happy feast, there are almost no one who can imagine what kind of grand event tomorrow will be

Postscript:

A reader asked about the main axis of the Six Dynasties work, and after thinking hard for a long time, he decided to answer this way.

The purpose of the Six Dynasties is to comprehensively sort out the ancient history of thought from ancient times to the Song Dynasty, sort out military, science and technology, economy, law, political structure, religious influence, humanities and art development, as well as the ideological dynamics of characters, from micro to macro, from individual to group, and analyze the pros and cons

If you think this is all, then you're wrong

This is just the first step. What is more important is the exchange and collision between different dynasties and different ideas, and interpreting a feast of romantic figures, classic stories, wisdom and courage.

If you think this is all, then you're wrong

What is more important is the reactions and countermeasures of the ancients when facing modern technology and knowledge. How the giant with a mud foot in history twists and stubbornly develops itself, and how he staggers forward under the heavy blow of time travelers.

If you think this is all, then it's still wrong

What is more important is the ultimate pursuit of philosophical issues. Where does it come from? Where does it go? Human consciousness and unconsciousness, metaphysics and science, supernatural and nature unify the essence of space and time.

If you think this is all, it's totally wrong

The real essence of this book is: Do you want to see the light Zhao Fei Yàn and the plump Yang Taizhen bathing with you? Want to know who is more charming, Daji and Meixi? Which one has bigger breasts, Mrs. Qi or Yu Ji? Who is more cruel in bed with Wu Zetian and Lu Zhi? Who is more profound in Xia Ji and Pan Jie'er? If Qin Hui married Li Qingzhao, would he still marry Su Xiaomei?...

Finally, these ultimate questions made me think hard and sleep without any intention
