King of Song

Chapter 387 Chapter [-] Who did it?
Zhong Er, the character is Zizheng, the fifth son of the famous general Zhong Shiheng.

Although he is ranked fifth, Zhong Er is the most outstanding among Zhong Shiheng's scholars, and he is the leader of the generation of the Zhong family.He is as famous as his elder brother Zhonggu, Zhongyan, and Zhonger, and is respected by the people as "three kinds".

However, it is obvious that Zhong Er is better than his two elder brothers and has become the head of this generation of Zhong Family.The most obvious evidence is that Jiancheng, an educated youth, was recommended by his father.

Qingjian City was taken back from the Xixia people by Zhong Shiheng, and he built the city himself and ordered it to be stationed here.Among the eight sons, he only handed over Qingjian City to the old five Zhonger, which shows that Zhong Shiheng has a high opinion of this son.

After Zhong Er took over Qingjian City, he lived up to expectations, and he never dishonored the reputation of Zhong's family. He performed very well.In addition to resisting Xixia's attacks many times, he once used tactics to force the Xixia general Wei Mingshan to surrender, winning his army of tens of thousands.This is also a wonderful stroke in the history of the Song Xia War.

Today, under his leadership, the Zhong family is even more prestigious than before.The name of the Zhong Family Army gradually became famous, and it became well-known and admired by people, and became a golden sign standing side by side with the Zhe Family Army in the northwest.After his nephew Zhong Shidao took over, the Zhong family army really flourished and became famous all over the world.

Kind of er, this person is definitely not simple!
Passing by Qingjian City this time, I should come to see him both emotionally and rationally, after all, he is a senior in the army.In addition, the trip to Suizhou required the cooperation of Chong's family, especially since the safety behind him depended on Qingjian City, so it was necessary to communicate with Chong'er.

Fortunately, there was a relationship with the Zhong family before, especially with the teacher-teacher relationship, some things were much more convenient.Especially today, as soon as he arrived in Qingjian City, the two most outstanding juniors of the Zhong family came to greet him. Such a courteous reception made Lin Zhao full of confidence.

After entering Qingjian City, they headed straight to the Zhong family's mansion, which was actually the highest military and political institution in Qingjian City.After all, Qingjian City was built by Zhong Shiheng alone, and the difference between official residences and private residences in the northwest is not so clear.Now the strength and status of the Zhong family seem to have some similarities with the Zhe family, and they are about to become a small prince.However, they do not have the same historical tradition as Zhejia, and their background is insufficient, so their nature is completely different.What's more, the location of Qingjian City is quite different from that of Fuzhou, so the Zhong family behaved more low-key.

When he came to the mansion, he saw two middle-aged men standing at the entrance of the main hall to greet him from a distance.

One of them was Chong Yong, who was suffering together in Gyeongju Prison, and Lin Zhao knew him.The other one was around fifty years old, and his beard and hair had already started to turn gray. The wrinkles and a scar on his face were witnesses of years of vicissitudes and military exploits.Presumably, this one is Zhiqing Jiancheng, the Patriarch of the Zhong family, who is so jealous!
Sure enough, Zhong Shidao stepped forward and introduced: "Brother Dongyang, this is my fourth and fifth uncle!"

Four kinds of chants, five kinds of errands, really good!

"Uncle, this is Lin Zhao, the servant of the Ministry of War, Lin Dongyang!"

Lin Zhao hurried forward, bowed and said, "Lin Zhao pays homage to the two generals!"

Although Lin Zhao now has the illusory title of Minister of the Ministry of War and the title of Uncle Weiyuan, his status may be higher than that of kindness.But in terms of power, it's far behind, not to mention that he is a famous senior, Lin Zhao can't be trusted, and immediately stepped forward to bow and salute.

"Dongyang, you really are young and promising, and a good-looking talent!" Zhong Er chuckled, stepped forward and took Lin Zhao's hand, looking very affectionate.

When he heard for the first time that Lin Zhaozhi's name was the Gyeongju case, when the fourth elder brother Zhong Yong was unjustly imprisoned, the emperor actually sent a young man with a weak crown to investigate. At that time, Zhong Yong had some doubts?Due to various considerations, the Zhong family could not intervene too much, so they sent their nephew Zhong Shidao to find out.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that Lin Zhao was also imprisoned, and his nephew saved his life because of Lin Zhao's reminder.On this point, Zhong Er is really grateful to Lin Zhao. You must know that among his nephews, Zhong Er is the most outstanding teacher, and he is the successor he is optimistic about. Therefore, when he was young, he was sent to Guanzhong to worship the great Confucian Zhang Zai as his teacher. , more experience.If there is any mistake in the way of the teacher, it will definitely be a big loss for the family!
Lin Zhao saved his nephew's life, and was wronged because of his elder brother's affairs, Zhong Er was very sorry.Especially after Zhong Shidao came back, he praised and admired Lin Zhaoduo, which made Zhong Er even more curious.The nephew is already a very outstanding figure, and he can be admired even more, which shows that this person is extraordinary.

Later, Lin Zhao was wronged and imprisoned, and the Zhong family was also involved. Zhe Wenxin came from Fuzhou to explain the reason, and asked Zhong Shidao to go to Bianjing to defend Lin Zhao together. At this time, the friendship between the two families became closer .

After Zhong Yong and Zhong Shidao came back from Bianjing, they admired Lin Zhao even more.Especially when it came to the rescue of Lin Zhao by the big men in Bianjing, even the Empress Dowager was alarmed, this Lin Zhao is really not simple.Especially after getting married, the identities are very different, and the families of the father-in-law are all very different.

What especially concerned Zhong Er was the identity of the son-in-law of the Zhe family. Zhe Wenxin was also well-known in the northwest, and Qingjian City was not far from Fuzhou, so he had heard of it.The seven girls of the Zhe family were willing to commit themselves to marrying as a common wife, and the whole family was willing to take risks to save him, which shows that Lin Zhao is extraordinary.

Therefore, for a long time, Zhong Er had been looking forward to meeting Lin Zhao, and today his wish finally came true.

"Where, the old general praised you!" In front of this famous Northwest general, Lin Zhao was quite respectful.

Zhong Yong said with a smile: "The name is worthy of the name, Dongyang deserves such praise, if not, the court dares to let you, a young man with a weak crown, preside over the peace talks?"

Then everyone laughed, ability has nothing to do with age.Among these juniors today, Lin Zhao is truly extraordinary, and is incomparable to others!

Lin Zhao said with a sneer, "Speaking of which, the peace talks need more cooperation from the general!"

It is one thing to come to visit and get acquainted, but the more important thing is to communicate and get down to business.Qingjian City is the nearest important military town of the Song Dynasty to Suizhou, and the Zhong Family Army is also equivalent to a guarantee and support, and some things must be communicated well.

Going to Suizhou, peace talks are necessary, and rescue of Zhewenxin is also necessary. In addition, it is necessary to retreat completely.Naturally, countermeasures must be prepared in advance.

Zhong Er smiled and said: "Dongyang, don't worry, Han Xuanfu has come to order, Qingjian City will cooperate with Dongyang peace talks. On the border, we will be careful. The Xixia people are not my race. It must be different, more cunning like a fox, you have to be careful!"

"That's good!" Han Jiang's order is the most effective, much more useful than his own personal relationships.

Zhong Yong also smiled and said, "It is enough for Dongyang to negotiate with the Xixia people at the front, and I will personally raise an army to support it on the periphery."

"That's really a big thank you. The old general has a great reputation, and the people of Xixia must be frightened by the news, so I feel more at ease, boy!" Although Lin Zhao was a little joking, he also thanked the Zhong family from the bottom of his heart. It can be seen that they are sincerely helping him of.

Chong Yong shook his head and said, "Where, if it wasn't for the old man last time, how could you have been framed by that traitor Li Fugui? In Dashun City, it was considered to have saved Uncle Yi's life; this time, you killed Li Fugui again, which is also considered to be for the old man." Revenge, our family owes you a lot of favors!"

Lin Zhao thought of something, and immediately waved his hands and said: "The old general is serious. Speaking carefully, I should thank the person and me. If you didn't take action at the ancient Xianyang ferry in the Weishui River, if you didn't take action. I have already lost my life in the Weishui River. I went to feed the fish and shrimps!"

When I was wronged in Bianjing last year, I was assassinated at the ancient ferry in Xianyang.At that time, someone secretly saved his life. Lin Zhao was always grateful and wanted to know who those people came from.

According to Lin Zhao's guess, it is most likely to be the Chong family or the Zhe family.But Lin Zhao later asked Zhe Wenxin, was it not someone sent by the Zhe family?Lin Zhao subconsciously thought it was from the Zhong family, and kept thinking of thanking him.But at that time, I was so busy in Bianjing that I forgot about it. I didn’t have the chance to bring it up again until today. Thank you in person!
Unexpectedly, Zhong Er and Zhong Yong immediately looked at each other in dismay, and asked in confusion: "What is the ancient ferry of Xianyang? What is the Wei River?"

Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat, couldn't it be them?Then who else?All of a sudden, huge question marks appeared in my mind.

"Brother Dongyang, what happened?" Zhong Shidao was also inexplicable.

"Oh, I was escorted back to Bianjing that day. On the way, at the Xianyang Ferry of the Weishui River, Li Fugui and the Xixia people joined forces to try to kill me. Someone came to rescue me. I think it was the helper sent by your house!" Lin Zhao roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter. After talking about it again, he always believed that the Zhong family sent people to secretly protect Zhong Yong, and saved himself by the way.

Zhong's family members all looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "It's not my family's fault, it's someone else!"

Lin Zhao was still at a loss. Under the circumstances, besides Zhejia and Zhongjia, who else would help him?

"Isn't that expert in the water an old man from Dongyang?" Zhong Yong was on the escort list at the time, knew the situation, and remembered Boss Qian clearly.

"No, it's not him, it's another person. If that person didn't attack secretly, I would have died under the sword of that Western Xia woman."

"Could it be someone from Han Xuanfu's envoy? Or is there some chivalrous and righteous man who has met with injustice?" Although Zhong Yong was present, he didn't know that there were such turmoil in it.Seeing Lin Zhao's expression, it's obvious that he doesn't know who his benefactor is?As for Han Jiang's guess, he just said it casually, even he himself didn't believe it.

Han Jiang's people?Lin Zhao shook his head lightly, determined not to!As for chivalrous men?Probably not.Lin Zhao clearly remembered that the man's kind smile was obviously aimed at him?Just who is it?A series of question marks appeared in Lin Zhao's mind. He always felt that this matter was not that simple!
