Chapter 748 Love Peace, Not War

Ying days.

The new emperor's enthronement ceremony had just passed. In this ancient city, which was originally the capital of the Wu Dynasty, everything was very lively, with carriages, horses and business travelers from south to north.Because of the new emperor's ascendance, this autumn, Yingtian Prefecture will hold a new imperial examination. The gathering of scholars and warriors has also temporarily overcrowded this ancient city.

In the past few decades, the Wu Dynasty once appeared vigorous due to the development of commerce. After the civil turmoil in Liaoning, they realized that there might be opportunities in this world, and the speculators of the Wu Dynasty were also excited for a time, thinking that they might have arrived at ZTE. crucial moment.However, with the subsequent rise of the Jin Kingdom and the red-hot battles on the battlefield, people discovered that the army of the Wu Dynasty, which had lost its spirit, could no longer keep up with the pace of this era.After the Jin Kingdom invaded the south twice, although the new imperial court "Jianshuo" was re-established in Yingtian, the road ahead of the Wu Dynasty was indeed difficult.

The country will die out of evildoers, and the ocean will flow to show heroes.After King Kang ascended the throne and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianshuo, the scene where everyone rushed to seek fame and high-spiritedness during the change of the dynasty is no longer there. The children of some big families who used to be the best in the court have been greatly reduced this time. ——Of course, most of the people who will come to Yingtian at this time are naturally confident people. However, before coming here, most of them have thought about the purpose of this line of work. It's hard, not to mention empathy, at least I've thought about it.

In addition to these people, some of the hermits and Confucian scholars who lived in seclusion in the mountains in the past because of poor careers or various reasons have also been invited to come out of the mountains at this time, in order to deal with the enemy that has not been seen for hundreds of years, and make suggestions.

The more dangerous the country, the more patriotic sentiment.After the previous two blows, this time the court, at least it seems, finally brought some calmness and heritage that really belongs to a big country.

In a newly built property in the east of the city, the atmosphere was a little quieter. The warm autumn wind blew from the courtyard, causing the yellow leaves to fall.In the room in the courtyard, a secret meeting was coming to an end.

At this time, sitting at the bottom of the room was a young man in green clothes. He looked about 25 or [-] years old. .He put his legs together, pressed his hands on his knees, and sat upright. His motionless figure showed his slight nervousness.The young man's name was Yue Fei and his style name was Pengju. Obviously, he had never expected such a meeting before.

The audience sitting on the first throne was a younger man, handsome in appearance and a little weak, but his words were not only coherent, but his tone was also quite gentle: the original little prince Junwu, at this time Already the new prince.At this time, with the help of Lu Agui and others, he was carrying out some political activities under the table.

"...Golden people are very powerful. Since they have tasted the sweetness, they must be repeated over and over again. I don't know how much time I can wait to catch my breath. Speaking of which, I don't have to hide from Yue Qing's family. The emperor used to stay in the south, so he didn't understand how to fight, but there were always some things that he could understand. The army couldn't fight, and in many cases, it was not the responsibility of the military officer. Training, I can only try my best to ensure two things..."

"... First, the money you need for training, and the official articles you want to leave, the Prince's Mansion will do its best to solve it for you. Second, everything you do is dictated by the Prince's Mansion. If there is a black pot, I will bear it for you. , you can play against anyone, you can use my flag. The country is in danger, there are some overall situations, you can't take care of it, it doesn't matter who you have friction with, Yue Qing's family, I want a good soldier, even if I can't defeat the Jurchen, I must be able to do it. It's a tie with them on stage..."

Yue Fei's eyes moved slightly in these bluntly stated words, and for a moment, his eyes turned a little red.For a long time, he hoped that he could lead the army to serve the country, achieve great things, comfort his life, and comfort his mentor Zhou Tong.After meeting Ning Yi, he once felt that he had an opportunity, but before Ning Yi raised the flag, he chatted with him a few times, and then transferred him out to carry out other things.

After Ning Yi killed the king, the two actually met once. Ning Yi invited him to go with him, but Yue Fei refused.After the chaos in the capital, he hid to the north of the Yellow River and took a few teams of Xiangyong to train daily in order to fight against the Jurchen in the future - in fact, this is also self-deception - because of Ning Yi's crime of murdering the king, he can only hold his tail. Incognito, if it wasn't for the Jurchens to go south to besiege Bianliang for the second time soon, and the investigation was not detailed enough, it is estimated that he would have been caught long ago.

He can only imagine the grievances he has suffered over the past few days. Who knew that someone finally found him not long ago and brought him to Yingtian. Today, when he saw the new prince, the other party could say such a thing.Yue Fei was about to kneel down to promise, and Jun Wu hurried over to support him.

"It can't be like this." Jun Wu said, "You are the closed disciple of Zhou Dong and Zhou Zongshi, and I trust you. Those of you who practice martial arts and lead the army must be bloody, and you should not kneel casually. Those literati in the courtroom, all day long They are busy with intrigue, so they should kneel, anyway, they can’t do much if they kneel, they should kneel more, and the more they kneel, the better they know the way of the sword.”

The young prince was joking, Yue Fei cupped his hands and stood solemnly.

"Does Yue Qing's family know about what happened in the northwest recently?"

"His Royal Highness means..."

"Heh, Yue Qing doesn't have to be shy, I don't care about it. The most lively thing in the capital this month, except for the emperor's ascension to the throne, is the battle of the Northwest that everyone is secretly talking about. The number of defeating the Xixia army of more than [-] is so powerful and domineering. Unfortunately, I am facing a million army, and everyone said that they can't fight, can't fight, the Black Flag Army used to be out of a million army, how did it get there, You can fight... This is also a good thing, it shows that we people of the Wu Dynasty are not inherently bad, if we find the right way, it is not that we can't beat the Jurchen."

The two walked out one after another, and the falling yellow leaves fell on Jun Wu's head. He grabbed them and played with them.

"Everything is inseparable from the way of checking things, even if it is this leaf, why is it falling, and why the veins on the leaf grow like this, there is also a reason for it. After seeing the reasoning clearly, we can see if we can do this, and if we can't. The possibility of compromise and change. Yue Qing's family, do you know the way to measure things?"

"...I have heard a little."

"My other business outside the city is still being sorted out. It will take about a month for the official start of construction. To tell you the truth, the big Kongming lantern I made is about to fly. Once it is done, it can be used for military formations. First for you. Next time you go back to Beijing, I'll take you to see it. As for the Yumu Cannon, I'll transfer some to you soon... Those people in the Ministry of Industry are all idiots who want people to do things without giving them any benefits. , can’t compare to my craftsmen, but unfortunately, they also have time to settle…”

"Your affairs, the identity issue. The Prince's Mansion will take care of it for you. Of course, you have to be a little more cautious in Beijing for the past two days. Recently, the Yingtian Mansion is very pedantic. When I meet me, I say that the Prince can't be like this or that. You go to the Yellow River to recruit troops, and if necessary, you can ask Mr. Zong Ze to help you with my handwriting. Now, Mr. Zong is handling things over the Yellow River..."

In the flat but ragged voice, the autumn sunshine engraved the figures of the two young people in the golden air.Crossing this other business, pedestrians and horses are passing through this ancient city. The trees are lush and lush. The brothel and Chu Pavilion are open as usual. The faces of people who come in and out are full of joy. , photographed wake wood.A new official took office, bought a courtyard in this ancient city, put a plaque on it, and there were people who congratulated and came to the door with a smile.

Another city with tens of thousands of people, at this moment, the precious peace is covering them and warming them.

The eldest princess Zhou Pei was sitting by the window in the attic, looking at the trees with yellow leaves and the birds flying over them.The original county horse, Qu Zonghui, is now the concubine, and he also came to Yingtian. In the first few days, Qu Zonghui tried to repair the relationship with his wife, but Zhou Pei, who was troubled by many things, did not have time to pay attention to him. The two kept their distance in such a lukewarm manner.

She lives in this attic, but secretly manages many things.Sometimes she was in a daze in the attic, and no one knew what she was thinking.Cheng Zhouhai, who has now been brought under her command, came over one day and suddenly felt that the layout of this courtyard seemed to be familiar to him when he was in Bianliang, but he was also a person with a lot of things, and soon he put this boring idea behind him. now...

In the northwest far away in the sky, with the arrival of autumn, the peaceful atmosphere also enveloped this piece of yellow land for a short time.More than a month ago, in the several battles from Yanzhou to Dong Zhiyuan, the Huaxia Army lost nearly half of its soldiers.On Dong Zhiyuan, the total number of lightly and severely wounded is still less than 1000. After adding up the previous 500 wounded, the combatable number of this army is now about [-], and the remaining [-] people have lost the battle forever. ability, or can no longer charge at the forefront.

Some wounded were temporarily left in Yanzhou, and some were sent back to Xiaocanghe.Today, a team of about 3000 people stayed in Yanzhou to serve as the garrison during this period.As for the expansion of the army, it was only at this time that it was done cautiously and carefully. The Black Banner Army did not openly recruit troops. , will "exceptionally" absorb some people.Now this number is not many.

When the setting sun gently shone down from the sky, Mao Yishan built a tank of well water for the old woman who lived alone in a yard.When the trembling old woman wanted to keep him for dinner, he left with a smile.When they invaded Yanzhou City two months ago, something like this happened: an old woman pushed a bucket of water, waited by the roadside with a few dates, and rewarded them with these meager things Master Wang who came in, her only son was killed in the previous massacre with the Xixia people, and now she is the only one left alive.

Mao Yishan drank from her bowl of water, and after returning to Yanzhou, he often came to help her.But in these short two months, the old woman who lived alone has weakened rapidly. After her son died, she still had hatred and expectation in her heart. After her son's revenge was also avenged, for the old woman , In this world, there is nothing she cares about anymore.

In the school field near the city wall, the training of more than [-] soldiers came to an end.After the horn of disbandment sounded, the soldiers left here in groups. On the way, they talked to each other a few words with smiles on their faces. There was a little tiredness in that smile, but it was more on the faces of soldiers who belonged to this era. Unseen vigor and confidence.

In the inn west of the city, a small quarrel was taking place.

"...You're right, I don't want to be involved in this anymore."

"You...I didn't tell you about the fact that you left on purpose when you attacked Xiaocanghe. Now that you say something like this, Tie Tianying, you can still be regarded as the chief arrester of the Criminal Department!?"

"Yeah, I'm the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, but what is a general arrester, not just an errand. Prince Tong was killed by him, and the first emperor was also killed by him. I am the general arrester, hey... Mr. Li , don't talk about the general arrest of the Ministry of Punishment, my name Tie Tianying is also a hero when I put it on the green forest, but what can I do? Even the number one Lin Yechan in the world is not driven to run in front of him."

"..."

"Master Li, it's for you scholars to have the world in your mind. Those of us who practice martial arts are really out of luck. That Ning Yi, do you know that I punched him in the face, and if he didn't fight back, I looked useless. He Conversely, he directly killed the first emperor on the Golden Luan Hall. Now, the Black Banner Army has 1 people and has driven away more than [-] people! Master Li, I don’t want to say this, but I can see it clearly: he wants to The man who turned the world upside down. I'm not dead, and you know why?"

"..."

"—Because of him, he didn't even look at me in the right eye!"

"..."

"It's enough that I don't die. Go back to the Wu Dynasty and see the situation. It's time to hand over the job, and it's time to plead guilty. If the situation is not good, the world is going to be in chaos anyway. I'll find a place to hide in anonymity."

"...I see, you can go."

"No, I'm not leaving." The speaker shook his head.

"..."

"The northwest is not peaceful. I, Tie Tianying, are greedy for life and fear of death, but I still have a bit of martial arts. Mr. Li, you are a big man. You are amazing. You have to fight him. Here, I will protect you for a while. When you go back, we will part ways. , it can be regarded as... leave a memory."

Under the autumn sunshine in the northwest, some people are high-spirited, some people are full of doubts, some people are disheartened, and the messengers from the two families have also arrived. In the negotiation of inquiry and care, there is also a surging undercurrent in the city of Yanzhou.In such a situation, a small episode is happening silently.

In August, the messenger from the Jin Kingdom came to Qingmu Village quietly, and then entered Yanzhou City via the Xiaocang River. Soon after, the messenger returned to the Jin Kingdom along the original road, bringing back the words of refusal.

——People from China, do not vote for foreign countries.

Everything seemed serene and peaceful.

Just like before the night comes, the clouds on the horizon always look magnificent and peaceful.In the evening, Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian boarded the city tower in Yanzhou and exchanged messages about the departure of the Jurchen messengers. Then, they were silent for a moment.

"In a few days, Chong Lie and Zhe Keqiu will know about the return of Xixia to Qingzhou."

Knocked on the parapet a few times with his fingers, Ning Yi spoke calmly.

"Then... do something to surprise them first."

The evening wind was blowing, and the jackets and military flags rattled.On the city wall, the two men stood tall and straight like arrows, welcoming the darkness in the distance like a tide.Before this darkness, all the intrigues seemed so petty.

　Well, at the end, it belongs to the real "love peace, not war".I have already thought about the name of the next chapter, everyone will like it.

I asked for a monthly pass, thank you for your support, of course, but also pressure.In today’s chapter, a total of more than 7000 words have been coded, and there are [-] remaining in the final revision. One thing I want to clarify is that I said the words of canvassing because the inspiration is indeed connected recently, but it does not guarantee daily updates. If a certain day The writing is really bad, I don’t think it is good enough, even if everyone can’t understand, I will continue to modify it.This is the practice of the book "Zui Son", and friends who have been reading this book should know it. I just want to assure you that I will write this book well. This is my greatest respect for everyone as an author. , not a businessman's respect for everyone.

Well, to put it simply, thank you, everyone, continue to canvass for votes, it is not easy to stay in the top ten, please don't stop if you still have monthly tickets! ! !
