Regarding Liu Tong's question, Zhao Guang shook his head and said, "Impossible! Don't forget that Fan Zongyin is Zhao Gou's personal prime minister, and he has always been loyal to Zhao Gou. Xia Cheng's sneak attack back then made everyone The holy king Yang Yao was completely defeated in the battle with the officers and soldiers. Fan Zongyin knew Xia Cheng's ambition very well, and he was very wary of him. How could he take his majesty to seek refuge with Xia Cheng? So in the whole world, only we can It is Fan Zongyin's best choice."

"Oh." In fact, Zhao Guang had already analyzed this truth to Liu Tong when he was in Jizhou before, but now that Liu Tong is restless, he has already forgotten Zhao Guang's analysis to himself.Moreover, even such an analysis could not make Liu Tong completely at ease. After all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.And just when Liu Tong was about to ask Zhao Guang again, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Here we come! We come! General! They are here." It was Liu Tong's younger brother Liu Yi who spoke.Hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Tong, who was still anxious just now, also shouted in surprise: "Liu Yi! Seriously? Your Majesty is really here?"

"Really! Really!" Liu Yi was usually considered a steady person, but now he was full of excitement.Liu Yi said to Liu Tong and Zhao Guang with bright eyes: "I can see very clearly that it is Your Majesty who is right. Moreover, there are soldiers and horses from King Xin's army chasing and killing them in the distance. I have already ordered Bai Xi to open the city gate. Your Majesty's troops have entered the city." The Bai Xi that Liu Yi was talking about was Bai Xi, a young general of the Liu Family Army.

"Xin Wangjun." Hearing Liu Yi's words, Liu Tong and Zhao Guang calmed down instantly. Since Xin Wangjun was chasing him, it must be His Majesty who just escaped from Jiangling.

Just looking at the situation, I am afraid that King Xin's army already knows that His Majesty is coming to join Liu's army. If His Majesty cannot be transferred away quickly, then little Yongxin may not be able to withstand the siege of King Xin's army.

At this time, Liu Tongdang even shouted to Liu Yi: "Liu Yi, send an order to the soldiers to clean up, and we are going to return to Jizhou immediately. That's right! You can see how many Xin Wangjun came to pursue ?”

"This?" Liu Yi lowered his head and recalled for a while, then replied: "The distance was still far away, and I couldn't look too carefully, but a rough estimate should not exceed [-]."

"No more than five thousand." Liu Tong's eyes flashed a cold light, and he said coldly: "If that's the case, it's easy to handle. If you just leave like this, it's difficult to follow such a tail behind you. Why don't you go first?" Cut off this tail." Liu Tong is famously bold and decisive in his actions, how can Liu Tong be soft on such an enemy that can be completely eliminated?

Zhao Guang frowned, but persuaded him: "Liu Tong, don't be impulsive. After all, this is within the range of Wugong Mountain, and the person stationed at Wugong Mountain is Wang Hu, the general of the Xinwang Army. If you delay for a while, let Wang Hu After catching up, it will not be so easy for us to get away. Anyway, the Xin Wangjun with less than 5000 people can't do anything to us. If you want to follow, let him follow. We just need to escort His Majesty back to Jizhou immediately. When we arrive in Jizhou , Even if the Xin Wang Jun dare not catch up again." Liu Yi is not an outsider, so in front of Liu Yi, Zhao Guang still called Liu Tong by his name.

For Zhao Guang's remonstrance, Liu Tong has always been kind, nodded, but shook his fist vigorously, obviously annoyed that he could not wipe out all the enemies.However, Liu Tong could afford to let it go, so he quickly put the matter aside and said to Zhao Guang, "Forget it! Zhao Guang, we should go out to meet our Southern Song Dynasty Majesty."

In Liu Tong's words, there was not much awe towards His Majesty. It is conceivable that Liu Tong might not have any good intentions towards Zhao Gou. It's all about acting in the name of a king.However, Liu Tong is not from the royal family, while Zhao Zhen is the prince.After hearing Liu Tong's words, Zhao Guang and Liu Yi also laughed, and immediately the three of them walked out of the hall side by side, and rushed directly to the outside of the city guard's mansion.

By the time the three of them arrived at the east gate of the city, Bai Xi and other generals had already closed the gate tightly, while the soldiers of the Liu family army gathered in the east of the city.Surrounded by the soldiers, there was a team of nearly 200 people, most of whom were armored soldiers. Only the carriage in the middle was wrapped in silk so that people could not see the inside. The situation, needless to say, His Majesty is here.

After the three of Liu Tong arrived, those Liu family army officers and soldiers immediately made a way for the three of them consciously, and walked quickly to the front of His Majesty's queue.And at the front of His Majesty's queue, a middle-aged general in black was riding a horse, looking around vigilantly.When he saw the three of Liu Tong coming, he knew from the posture of the three of them and the attitude of the surrounding soldiers towards them, that this was the real master, so he immediately shouted to the three of Liu Tong: "Bold! Your Majesty is here, How dare you be presumptuous?"

Hearing these words, Liu Tong's face immediately became gloomy. Ever since he ascended the throne of Liu Jiajun, no one had dared to yell at him like that.Immediately, Liu Tong snorted coldly, and put on the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand, not only him, but also the soldiers of the Liu family army around them all had no good looks, as soon as Liu Tong gave an order, they immediately They will rush forward and chop this little general who insulted their lord into a pulp.

For a moment, the atmosphere here suddenly became tense. On the other hand, the middle-aged general who caused this scene, facing the glaring eyes of the Liu family army soldiers around him, did not look afraid at all. Instead, he held his head high and looked at it coldly Looking at Liu Tong, he directly pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed at Liu Tong and shouted, "How courageous. Are you planning to rebel?"

The words of the middle-aged warrior simply added fuel to the flames. Liu Tong's eyes widened, his hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, and with a hard pull, half of the sword was pulled out, but it was suddenly stopped down.Liu Tong turned his head and saw that it was his good brother Zhao Guang who stopped him.

Zhao Guang glanced at Liu Tong, shook his head at Liu Tong, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged general. It seemed that His Majesty was giving Liu Tong a bad blow.It has been heard for a long time that His Majesty Zhao Gou is smart and escaped from the golden man, and he was finally caught by the King of Letters Zhao Zhen and escaped.Seeing this now, I still feel a little uneasy. Qicheng Mansion is not deep enough!

But in this way, Zhao Guang was relieved a lot. If His Majesty was so impulsive, he would not be afraid of what kind of tricks he would play.Immediately, Zhao Guang grabbed Liu Tong's arm and squeezed it hard. Liu Tong and Zhao Guang had known each other for many years, and immediately understood what Zhao Guang meant. He took a deep breath and put the sword back.He cupped his fists, bowed down to the carriage where His Majesty was, and shouted: "Chen Liu Tong, see my emperor. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

After Liu Tong knelt down, Zhao Guang took the lead, and the surrounding soldiers also knelt down, shouting in unison: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The middle-aged warrior didn't expect Liu Tong to change his attitude suddenly, which was far beyond his expectation.Now that Liu Tong has been subdued, the middle-aged warrior is naturally not good enough to hold on to it like this. He snorted coldly, put the sword back into the sheath, and shouted: "Your Majesty is tired. Hurry up and arrange a place for Your Majesty to rest." .”

The tone of the middle-aged general was as if he was giving instructions to his subordinates, so angry that Bai Xi and the others who were commanding the soldiers next to him were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could rush forward and kill him.And Liu Tong's eyes also flashed a trace of anger, but Zhao Guang, who was beside him, patted his arm quietly again, which made Liu Tong suppress his anger and said: "This general, believe in Wang Jun Now that we are chasing, please leave here with your majesty as soon as possible, and return to Jizhou is the best policy."

"Shut up!" As soon as Liu Tong finished speaking, the middle-aged general immediately reprimanded him: "Since you are officials of the Song Dynasty, it is your duty to protect His Majesty. When the King Xin's army is coming, you should fight it!" Retire them, how can you ask His Majesty how to act in turn?"

"You bastard." The middle-aged warrior's repeated provocations made Bai Xi, Liu Yi and the others annoyed, and the irritable Bai Xi rushed forward to settle accounts with the middle-aged warrior.

On the other hand, Zhao Guang had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately shouted: "Liu Yi, Bai Xi! Don't be foolish, back down." Zhao Guang's prestige in Liu's army was no less than that of Liu Tong. Hearing Zhao Guang's shouts, Liu No matter how upset Yihe Baixi was, they could only retreat angrily.

"Niu Hong. What happened?" At this moment, a voice came from inside the carriage, addressing the middle-aged general.

Hearing this voice, the middle-aged warrior who was about to take this opportunity to attack Liu Tong was also taken aback. After a while, he turned his horse's head, came to the carriage, and clasped his fists towards the carriage and shouted: "Your Majesty! , Liu Jiajun Liu Tong indulged his subordinates to be rude to His Majesty. From the perspective of the future, I am afraid that this Liu Jiajun is not a safe place, so it is better for Your Majesty to go to Shangrao instead."

Go to Shangrao?Why don't we just go to Xia Cheng's place?Hearing the words of the middle-aged general, the three of Liu Tong were taken aback for a moment, and immediately became anxious. They worked so hard and took such a big risk, just to keep His Majesty in the Liu family army.How could His Majesty just go to Xia Cheng's place and let Xia take advantage of it?Liu Tong hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! I dare not be rude to Your Majesty. It seems that the general has misunderstood the minister. This general, where is Master Fan Zongyin Zhang?"

Liu Tong suddenly asked about Fan Zongyin's whereabouts, but it was because Fan Zongyin would never agree to take his majesty to join Xia Cheng, and the middle-aged warrior in front of him didn't know where he came from, so it would be better to call Fan Zongyin out.

It's just that Liu Tong's question had just been uttered, and the middle-aged warrior seemed to have guessed that Liu Tong would ask this question, and said: "Lord Fan and Lord Qin Hui have been killed in a small county to save you. Now Your Majesty's I, Niu Hong, will be responsible for safety."

"Niu Hong?" Liu Tong couldn't help being taken aback. He had heard of this name before. When he was in contact with Fan Zongyin, Fan Zongyin mentioned that Niu Hong was one of Fan Zongyin's generals, but he had never met him before.But Liu Tong was soon shocked by another news that the other party said.He repeated on his lips, "Master Fan and Lord Qin Hui are all dead?"

Zhao Guang and Liu Yi, who were behind Liu Tong, frowned, looked at each other, and secretly screamed in their hearts.Unexpectedly, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui, who had been in charge of contacting Liu Jiajun before, were both dead, so it would be more troublesome now.Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui were the ones who were in contact with the Liu Family Army before. Now that these two are dead, it is unknown whether His Majesty will follow the Liu Family Army.Thinking of this, Zhao Guang hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists to Niu Hong and said, "General Niu Hong. Now the army of King Xin is outside the city. For the sake of His Majesty's safety, it is better to ask His Majesty to move to Jizhou first."

Zhao Guang also had a good plan. Anyway, he should fool His Majesty into Jizhou first. Once he arrives in Jizhou, it will be the territory of the Liu family army, so it is up to His Majesty to go wherever he wants.

But Niu Hong immediately widened his eyes and shouted: "Nonsense. Where your majesty wants to go, that should be decided by your majesty, why let Deer wait here to make the decision? Hurry up and get ready to eat, Hugh has neglected your majesty. "

Niu Hong really had a taste of not getting in, which made Liu Tong and the three of them a little unsure how to deal with it, but at this moment, the soldiers of the Liu family army guarding the top of the city suddenly shouted: "General! General! Enemy! The army has already rushed outside the city." As if to confirm what the soldier said, there was a loud shout of killing from outside the city, and it seemed that there were quite a few Xinwang troops outside the city.

"Good time." Hearing this shout, Liu Tong couldn't help applauding secretly. Those pursuers came at this time, but they gave Liu Tong an excellent excuse.Immediately, Liu Tong saluted Niu Hong and His Majesty in the carriage, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I need to go to the top of the city to see the situation. Liu Yi, please lead the way for Your Majesty, go down and rest for a while."

Hearing Liu Tong's order, Liu Yi immediately responded, then bent over and walked to Niu Hong's horse, and said to Niu Hong and the carriage, "Your Majesty! General Niu Hong! Please!" please gesture.

Niu Hong didn't say anything this time, and the cause of the argument just now was investigated, but it was also caused by Niu Hong asking Liu Tong to arrange a resting place for His Majesty. Now that Liu Tong agrees to arrange a resting place for His Majesty, Niu Hong will naturally not What's the point of arguing.Niu Hong snorted coldly, waved to the 200 soldiers on the left and right, escorted His Majesty's carriage, and walked into the city under the leadership of Liu Yi.

After Niu Hong and His Majesty left, Bai Xi also hurried to Liu Tong's side, and he shouted angrily: "My lord, what kind of bullshit is this Niu Hong, he is so arrogant. Hmph! Go and cut off his tongue at the end of the day!" See if he still dares to say such big words."

"General Bai! Don't be impulsive." Liu Tong has also calmed down at this moment, stopped Bai Xi, frowned and said: "This Niu Hong has the merit of saving him, and besides, Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui who participated in the rescue this time are both dead. Well, it can be said that he is the only hero responsible for His Majesty's escape from Jiangling. I believe His Majesty will trust Niu Hong very much for a long time. We don't have the need to provoke Niu Hong now. Everything will wait until we send Your Majesty to Jizhou Say it again."

While talking, Liu Tong's eyes flashed a cold light. Obviously, Liu Tong's rude attitude towards Niu Hong just now has been remembered in his heart. Although he doesn't mention it now, he will always find him to settle accounts in the future.

After explaining, Liu Tong took Zhao Guang and others to the top of the city, and looked out of the city from the top of the city.Outside the city, a black-clothed Xin Wang army lined up neatly in a square formation. In front of the square formation, two generals were shouting loudly towards the top of the city. They saw Liu Tong and others appearing in the city. One of the generals in black immediately shouted: "Hey, who are you? How dare you hide the fugitive of His Highness Xin Wang? Quickly open the city gate and hand over the fugitive. Otherwise, don't blame us for breaking the city gate, I will kill all of you without leaving any behind."

"Hahahaha!" Hearing the general's shout, Liu Tong on the top of the wall suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, pointing at the general, he shouted, "I'm telling you, you guys, to recognize a certain family, which is Liu Jiajun's commander-in-chief. Tong. Xin Wang Zhao Zhen has evil intentions and dares to imprison and pursue His Majesty. Now that His Majesty is under the protection of my Liu Tong, you can never succeed. Go back and tell Xin Wang Zhao Zhen that from now on, Your Majesty will be taken care of by me, Liu Tong." After finishing speaking, Liu Tong laughed again.
