end song

Gou Shancai's room has no windows and is very cold.

Light came in from an air hole high up in the wall, and dust could be seen floating in the beam.

Hearing the wounded man's request, Gou Shancai did not speak immediately, but turned around and lit the candle, looked in front of the wounded man, followed the blood dripping on the ground, and then illuminated the bed.

The bed had been lifted, revealing a secret passage below, from which the bloodstains extended.

Gou Shancai looked at the door again, and then asked, "Is there no one following you?"

"You bear with me." Gou Shancai opened the cabinet and took out a box. When I opened it, there were bottles and jars inside.

He took out a dagger and wiped it with a cloth dampened with medicine from a jar.

"Wound."

"It's useless, I can't survive...the crossbow arrow hit my vitals...damn...don't want to die"

Gou Shancai tore off the wounded man's clothes and took a look, seeing that the wound was indeed a vital point, so he didn't use the dagger to pull out the arrow for him, but changed the medicine and applied it to him.

He clutched the injured man's wound and asked, "What news do you want to deliver?"

"Master Wang is coming. When I set off, the commander was ready to seize the boat on the Han River." Gou Shancai was stunned for a moment, and then his sinister eyes changed, becoming calm and soft.

He sat down, leaned back on the bed, and smiled "huh", appearing to have relaxed a lot.

"This time, it's time for me to go back to Sichuan."

"Go back if you want... I won't go back."

With unwillingness and nostalgia in the eyes of the wounded, he carefully released the hand that was pressing on the wound, took out a token from his pocket, and handed it to Gou Shancai.

"Give... the prison guard... watch Zemen..."

"Duk, duk, duk."

In the evening, there was a knock on the door of Gou Shancai's house.

"Old dog, are you at home? Why don't you open the door for me? Old dog?"

"Duk, duk, duk..."

After a long while, the door finally opened with a creak, and Gou Shancai stood there with only his middle coat on, yawning sleepily.

"What's the rush?"

"Old dog, you are at home. I told you that the door was bolted from the inside. The city is hunting fugitives today, and we need the cooperation of the third squad."

Gou Shancai asked, "Anyone else escaped from the rebel rule?"

"I'm afraid it's really a secret agent this time. I heard that as soon as I entered the city, I contacted a secret agent who was watched by the Taiwei's mansion, and even escaped with serious injuries..."

"It's all day long, how can there be so many meticulous work. Let's go, I have to go to the south of the city, the county magistrate has given me an errand."

"What's the matter?"

"It's none of your business." Gou Shancai scolded, but still said: "There was a family in Dingziqiao, who was killed by the Mongols who lived in Lu's other courtyard, and they said they wanted to sue."

"I've heard about this too. It's said that his family is quite beautiful, but he was robbed by the Mongols, and his wife was kicked to death. He wants to make a big deal out of it, and blame the county magistrate for protecting the Mongols. He has some surplus money in his family." , saying that he is not afraid to go to Lin'an to sue the imperial court."

"Oh?" Gou Shancai's eyes lit up when he heard the word "Yu Cai", and he said with a smile, "Is it still a fat sheep?"

"Old dog, you really lost your conscience. That person is miserable enough. You still want to kill him. You have no mercy."

"Pity? I don't need that kind of thing."

The companion was still shaking his head and sighing, but Gou Shancai gave a smirk, turned around and locked the door.

"Those Mongols seem to be leaving today. The main street was being cleared just now, and there was a lot of ostentation. No matter how much trouble the sufferer makes, the government will not be able to stand up for him. Can the Mongols be punished for their crimes? Isn't it embarrassing for our county officials? The man turned around the alley with a waist knife in his hand, and sure enough, he saw that the main street was blocked, and the Lu family's soldiers held up the guard of evasion, surrounding the Mongols on tall horses.

At the back are countless large mahogany boxes containing gifts.

Surprisingly, many of the common people along the street were admiring, talking about the fact that the Yuan court in the north had passed the Han Dynasty.
Fa, and the majestic Dalu Puman of the Mongols rode their horses all the way out of Ezhou City.

Occasionally, he would observe the reactions of the people along the way, secretly weighing in his heart.

More than six years have passed since Kublai Khan attacked Ezhou, but before the Mongolian army withdrew, the Jinlianchuan shogunate bought many people to let them preach the legal principle of "doing China's way is China's sovereignty", subtly changing public opinion.

They hope that the next time the Song Dynasty is conquered, Ezhou will be able to surrender.

This time, Da Lupuman came here not only to discuss the mutual market with the Lu family, but also to observe the state of Song.

He watched Lu's army and the Song government's careful precautions against Li Xia with cold eyes, and felt that Song Ting was ridiculous and pitiful, and really regarded Dayuan as Liao and Jin who could not go south.

Ezhou City is near the river, and you can feel the strong wind from the river when you leave the city gate.

Da Lupuman turned his head and glanced, and asked, "What are you doing at the city gate?"

"Today, spies of rebels sneaked into the city, and they are still searching for them."

"Li Xia's people? What did he send people to Ezhou for?"

"I don't know yet." Lu Wenfu said, "I'll know when I take it down."

Da Lupu smiled and asked, "I heard that you surrounded Li Xia near Xiangyang?"

"Your Excellency knew it. That's right, my brother will soon put down Li Ni's rebellion."

Lu Wenfu could already foresee that once Li Xia died, the Lu family would become the number one feudal town of the Song Dynasty in the next ten or twenty years.

Your Excellency is now going up the Han River, and Li Ni may have already conferred the head when he arrived in Xiangyang.If it weren't for the winning chance, we wouldn't dare to let the adults go back north now, in case the rebels blocked the road on the way." Da Lupu laughed wildly a few times, and said: "I still look forward to meeting Li Xia , and took off his head with his own hands." After laughing, he also had a feeling of unreality in his heart.

After several battles over the years, Li Xia already gave people a feeling that he was invincible, but he did not expect that he would die at the hands of the incompetent Song Army.

But thinking that Mengge Khan also died at the hands of Song Jun, Dalu Puman still accepted the matter.

He looked up towards the Yangtze River, waiting for his boat to come to shore.

The Yangtze River is so wide that you can't see the opposite bank at a glance, only the water and the sky meet.

Faintly, a black shadow of a boat appeared at the junction of water and sky.

"What's that?" Da Lupuman asked, "It's your sailor?"

Lu Wenfu followed suit, and saw more and more ships appearing on the farthest river, with faint masts, as if they were still flying military flags.

"Is my brother back?" He murmured, "My elder brother put down Li Ni so quickly? Why didn't he follow the trend and take Hanzhong?"

Feeling somewhat doubtful and expectant, Lu Wenfu beckoned, and immediately sent his own soldiers up to Xishan to take a look.

On the outskirts of Ezhou, there is a mountain called Xishan, which is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the north and South Lake in the south. The Jinjiang River leads the lake and rises from the ground. On the mountain is the Summer Palace of the King of Wu, which was where Sun Quan lived during the Battle of Chibi. Summer vacation? Looking at Chibi from afar is a good place to fight. "There is also a first floor on the top of the mountain, which is the watchtower of Soochow, because Sun Quan" named it "Wuchang Tower" after Wu Erchang.

The Wuchang building is five stories high and magnificent. From the top of the building, you can have a panoramic view of the vast Yangtze River and the Chibi battlefield.

On this day, Shen Huan, deputy transfer envoy of Jinghu North Road, was climbing Wuchang Tower to look into the distance.

Ever since he gave the old coins to Meng Yuan, Shen Huan has suffered a lot of infamy. He also feels helpless and aggrieved, but it is nothing more than to endure for the country.

Otherwise, what should we do? The peace was negotiated by the imperial court, and the old coins were granted by the imperial court.He is just a local official, and he is still under the control of "Kaijingnan" and Lu Wende, who is in charge of the interests of Hubei. He can't be the master.

At this time, standing on the Wuchang Tower and looking at the majestic Yangtze River, he spit out his depression, and Shen Huan folded his hands and began to chant again.

"The clear sky is thousands of miles away, and the water goes with the sky and the autumn is endless."

This is Xin Qiji's word.

From writing about the Yangtze River in autumn, to writing about the danger of the Song Dynasty, telling about the ambition to kill the enemy when there is nothing on the battlefield, but the hero is useless

Ground.

Shen Huanyin groaned, immersed in the meaning of the word.

He knew that Lu Wenfu was seeing off the Mongols again today, and he really looked like a small country in front of the Hulu.

So he hid here and tried to be angry, trying to show the helplessness of serving the country.

It seems that after these officials of the Great Song Dynasty wiped out Xin Qiji, a returnee from the north, they used his lyrics to show their feelings of serving the country, "Who calls Qian, red scarf and green sleeves, and tears of heroes?"

Shen Huan sighed after saying the word.

Most of the friends who traveled with him were scribes, and they all expressed emotion.

"Lv Wende only insists on his own prestige, rewards from his heart, and punishes him with his mouth. There are many things that Duke Shen can't do anything about..."

While chatting, someone came forward and said in a low voice: "Ah Lang, there was a murder case in the city. The poor man whose wife was robbed and whose mother died committed suicide." Shen Huan walked a few steps, avoiding his friends, and said in a low voice : "The case is closed? Remember, this officer has not accepted his pleading paper, don't let people know that he stopped my sedan chair."

"Understood."

"Go." Shen Huan waved his hand, turned around and continued to discuss state affairs with his friends, "Lu Wenfu wanted me to go with him to send the Mongolian, but I refused, no, send someone to blame me."

"Duke Shen is doing well, no matter how arrogant the Lu family is, they are just vulgar warriors, and they will use Duke Shen."

"Some people are willing to submit to Meng Yuan, while others are hiding their strengths and biding their time in order to restore the Central Plains in the future. They are not the same."

"Yes, there will be a day when the Central Plains will be restored..."

"what is that?!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the Yangtze River, and stared blankly at the boats strewn across the river getting closer.

"So many ships, are they sailors?"

"Hanging the banner... what is it?"

Shen Huan turned his head to look, and suddenly saw a column of wolf smoke rising into the sky from the top of the mountain not far away.

He rubbed his eyes, tried his best to look at the biggest flag on the river, and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Is it the rebels?"

"No way?"

"It's the rebels! Let's go! Go back to the city!"

Shen Huan turned around and fled down the west mountain, shouting for his followers to protect him.

Only at this moment, the restoration of the Central Plains, which was still being discussed just now, was once again left behind.

He was more afraid of Li Ni than Meng Yuan.
