A knife in love

Chapter 3069

The official of Qin laughed, threw the reins of the horse to the boy, and said in a rough voice: "In this case, I, Old Qin, will not be polite. I heard that several groups of Hu merchants came to Yashan Town to do business recently. Come here I pass here every time I come and go, so I think the business in the restaurant is good?"

Shopkeeper Hu let the senior official Qin into the store, and said with a smile on his face, "Thanks to the senior official, the villain's business is still going well."

The official Qin smiled and walked into the room with his head held high.At this moment, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, lighting up the tavern in a pale white.Shopkeeper Hu recited a sentence of Amitabha, and said in a trembling voice: "I hope those innocent souls don't come out to claim their lives today."

The official Qin was about to speak when he suddenly met the man in the yellow robe sitting in the tavern.When the two eyes met, they were both shocked.As if being shocked by an electric shock, Qin Daguan immediately stopped, thinking to himself: "Could it be him? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?!"

When he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the yellow-robed man laughing and saying: "Brother Qin, don't you recognize me?"

Only then did the official Qin realize that he was right, he was both surprised and happy, he hurriedly walked to the wine table where the men in yellow robes were sitting, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Shang, is it really you?"

The yellow-robed man's surname is Shang Ming Heyang, and he is the commander of the imperial guard in front of Emperor Yongle.He is a veteran minister who followed Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to fight since the "Battle of Jingnan". He is loyal to Zhu Di, coupled with his high martial arts skills, he has won the emperor's favor.The official name of Qin is Qin Tieyi, he also served in Zhu Di's army back then, and he and Shang Heyang were life and death friends.After Zhu Di won the throne, Qin Tieyi didn't want to be an official, so he took his accumulated wealth and returned to his hometown to buy a house and land, and became a carefree Tao Zhuweng.Since he left Nanjing, he had been separated from Shang and Yang Yi for nearly ten years, but unexpectedly, they met again in this barren village.

Several guards under Shang Heyang saw that Qin Tieyi and the Commander were old friends, so they hurriedly stood up and made room for him to sit down.Qin Tieyi repeatedly said that he didn't dare, and refused to sit down. Shang Heyang said with a smile: "These are good brothers who lived and died together with Shang, brother Qin, you don't have to be polite."

Hearing what Shang Heyang said, Qin Tieyi bowed his hands and thanked several guards, sat down on Shang Heyang's head, and said with a smile: "After leaving the capital, I returned to my hometown to live. It is said that Brother Shang has become the commander of the imperial guards, and he has won the emperor's trust, and the younger brother is also happy for Brother Shang. I think back in the past that we followed the emperor to charge into battle, and lived and died together. Brother Shang commanded well and took good care of the brothers. With the ability of Brother Shang I am sure that I will be able to become a great general. I dare not expect to meet Brother Shang. I met Brother Shang unexpectedly today, which really surprised and delighted me. Brother Shang, if you are not enjoying the blessings in the capital, how could you come to our bird? A no-shit out-of-the-way place?"

Shang Heyang smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "I haven't seen you for ten years, brother Qin took off his commoner clothes and put on silk and satin clothes. He looks even richer and more imposing. It's really rare."

Qin Tieyi saw Shang Heyang talking about him, knowing that Shang Heyang suddenly appeared here, he must be on official business, so he didn't dare to ask any more, so he changed the subject and only talked about the experience after parting. Dare to inquire about Shang Heyang's business trip to Beijing.

The two were talking excitedly, only to hear the sound of rain outside the tavern.At first it was still a drizzle, but suddenly it turned into a heavy rain.Later, the sound of the rain was so loud that no movement outside the tavern could be heard.Qin Tieyi heard the sound of the rain outside the house, his face instantly became gloomy, he muttered something, and his expression was even weird.

Seeing Qin Tieyi's appearance, Shang Heyang felt amused, and said, "It's just a heavy rain. We are all heroes who crawled out of the pile of dead people. Are we still afraid of the wind and rain?!"

Hearing Shang Heyang's words, Qin Tieyi sighed, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Shang doesn't know something. Every time there is such a heavy rain, this ghostly place will be haunted."

"Haunted?" Shang Heyang was taken aback, with a look of surprise on his face.The four guards under him laughed at Qin Tieyi's absurdity in their hearts, and thought to themselves that this guy surnamed Qin was an old minister who followed Commander Shang to participate in the Jingnan campaign. It is reasonable to be an official in the capital, but he resigned and returned to his hometown and became a native. rich man.Just now we were puzzled, thinking that he had taken the wrong medicine, but seeing his cowardly appearance, we realized that this person is a coward, and he can't hang out in the officialdom at all.Thinking of this, several guards looked at each other, feeling contempt for Qin Tieyi.

Qin Tieyi ignored the guards and said to Shang Heyang, "Brother Shang, do you know where this place is?"

Shang Heyang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Isn't this the territory of Yashan Town? Is there something weird?"

Qin Tieyi nodded and said: "Brother Shang is right, this place is under the rule of Yashan Town. More than 100 years ago, the 20 Song army pursued by the Tartars was wiped out here. The emperor of Song Dynasty, the royal family, and ministers Buried in the belly of a fish, the Zhao and Song Dynasties have now perished."

Hearing what Qin Tieyi said, Shang Heyang was terrified in his heart, thinking to himself that I was only taking care of people on errands, came here in a hurry, and even forgot about this important event.

It turns out that more than 100 years ago, the Yuan army went south in a large scale, even conquering Xiangyang and Lin'an, and forced the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty in the corner of Pian'an to the southeast corner.At that time, ministers Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie helped protect the young emperor Zhao Bing to escape to Yashan Town, and gathered 20 Song troops on the sea of ​​Yashan, built a large ship into the city, and planned to fight to the death with the Yuan army who pursued here.Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Yuan army, was a general of the Song Dynasty and had an old friend with Zhang Shijie. He wrote several letters to persuade Zhang Shijie to surrender, but Zhang Shijie sternly refused.Zhang Hongfan led the army to attack in anger, and burned the warships of the Song army with the strategy of attacking with fire.Seeing that the Song army was defeated and had nowhere to escape, Lu Xiufu committed suicide by jumping into the sea with the young emperor Zhao Bing on his back.Zhang Shijie managed to break out of the siege with seven warships, but encountered a storm at sea, resulting in a shipwreck and death.In the Song Dynasty, from Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's rebellion into a yellow robe, to the complete destruction in the first battle of Yashan, Guozuo lasted for more than [-] years, which was not easy.

Zhang Hongfan won a complete victory and wiped out more than [-] Song troops in the first battle, and he was extremely proud.His master flattered him greatly, claiming that Jiang Ziya's rebirth and Zhuge Liang's rebirth would definitely not be Zhang Hongfan's opponent.Mr. Zhang has made such extraordinary achievements, he must be recorded in stone and passed down to future generations.Zhang Hongfan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and ordered a huge monument to be erected on Desheng Ridge of Yashan Mountain, with seven big characters written on it: "Zhang Hongfan destroyed the Song Dynasty here".Unexpectedly, only a few months after the huge monument was erected, someone carved a "Song" character before the "Zhang" character, which became "Song Zhang Hongfan destroyed Song here".The magistrate knew that the incident was done by the Han people who were loyal to Zhao and Song, so they sent police officers to search around, but they couldn't find the person who carved the letter, so they had to kill two prisoners at will to confuse them.
