One Piece of Song Dynasty

Wu Shu was ambushed by Liang Xing as soon as he entered the dense forest with dozens of cavalry. Dozens of crossbow arrows instantly shot down more than a dozen Jin soldiers. From then on, the two sides began to fight, and people from both sides fell down from time to time.

Listening to the shouts of killing from the front, Qinglian was very worried about Liang Xing and wanted to go to the front to take a look. However, she hesitated when she saw Han Xing. Finally, Qinglian made up her mind to go to the front to take a look. She told Han Xing: "Han Xing, just stay here. Mom goes to see how your father is doing. He will be back soon."

Han Xing nodded and said: "Yes, mother, mother, please pay attention to your safety."

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for a while. After all, Wu Shu led fewer soldiers. At the beginning, he was ambushed and killed about ten more people. Liang Xing's people gradually gained the advantage. However, Liang Xing did not pay attention on the battlefield. A cold arrow was quietly aimed at him.

As soon as Qinglian came to the area where the two sides were fighting, she discovered that Liang Xing was being targeted by the enemy's cold arrow. At this critical moment, Qinglian pounced on Liang Xing. After Liang Xing was thrown to the ground, she heard Qinglian's cry Screaming, behind Liang Xingxing was a crossbow arrow that killed the attacking Jin soldier. Then Liang Xing picked up Qinglian and saw an arrow in Qinglian's chest, bleeding out.

Liang Xing cried and shouted: "Qinglian, Qinglian"

Qinglian used her last strength to say: "Guanren, take good care of Lei'er and Hanxing. It's great to meet you in this life. I will marry you in the next life."

Liang Xing shook his head and said, "You can't die, I still have to listen to you sing Where the Stars Are."

Qinglian smiled and said, "I will sing to you again in my next life. Please take care, sir." After saying this, Qinglian closed her eyes forever.

Seeing that Qinglian was dead, Liang Xing shouted to the sky, then picked up the crossbow and said angrily: "Brothers, fight with the Jin soldiers today and kill these idiots."

Then Liang Xing went crazy and led his men to attack the Jin soldiers. This wave of anger made Wu Shu's people feel more pressure. Soon there were only four or five people left with Wu Shu, and Wu Shu was hit in the arm. Arrow, and Liang Xing still has ten people.

The guard saw that the situation was not good and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good. The reinforcements have not arrived yet. Let's withdraw."

When Wu Shu saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly withdrew. When Liang Xing saw that Wu Shu had withdrawn, he did not pursue him and sat down beside Qinglian's body in tears.

Niu San advised: "Lang Jun, let's retreat quickly. Maybe the enemy's pursuers will come again soon."

Liang Xing wiped his tears and said, "Go find Han Xing and get the name tags of the sacrificed brothers. Let's go."

Niu San cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Langjun."

Then Liang Xing picked up Qinglian's body and walked away and said, "Qinglian, let's go home. I won't leave you here alone."

Soon Liang Xing and others set off again. Sitting in the carriage, Han Xing could only cry while looking at his dead mother, while Liang Xing also wiped his tears and remained silent.

After arriving at the beach and taking a boat, Liang Xing and others were considered safe. On the boat, Niu San advised: "Lang Jun, we can't just take the wife with us. We don't know when it will be the Song Dynasty. The rotting corpses are prone to plague. That’s when we’re all screwed.”

Liang Xing also calmed down at this time: "You are right. Let's go to Cangzhou first. When we get there, we will buy a coffin and find a place to bury the wife secretly. Then we will find Qian Sheng. Only after we find Qian Sheng can we withdraw to the Song Dynasty by sea."

Niu San breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, Langjun."

Liang Xing and his party entered Cangzhou two days later. After getting off the boat, Niu San and others dressed up and bought a coffin. They found a place near the sea and buried Qinglian. When they left, Liang Xing said to himself He said: "Qinglian, wait for me, I will take you home next time I come back."

After bidding farewell to Qinglian, the group walked for a day and night before finding Qian Sheng's hidden village. When they arrived, they knocked on the door and gave the password before Qian Sheng opened the door and let Liang Xing and his group in.

After entering the courtyard, Liang Xing asked: "Qian Sheng, how can we retreat to the Song Dynasty by sea? We can't stay here for a long time. The arrival of so many strangers at once will definitely attract others' attention."

Qian Sheng said: "Okay, I will send you away tonight. First, take a boat to Jeju Island. Once you reach Jeju Island, you will be safe. That is the prince's territory."

Liang Xing said doubtfully: "Jeju Island"

Qian Sheng explained: "It is an island that the prince snatched from Goryeo in the early years. The horses you bought were originally raised on that island. It can be reached by boat in six or seven days. In recent years, they have been sent from the Song Dynasty. All the salt is sent from Jeju Island, and we are already very familiar with this route."

Liang Xing nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it." At night, Qian Sheng quietly sent Liang Xing and his party to the ship to Jeju Island.

On the other side of Yanjing City, after Wu Shu retreated and sent troops to search again, he found nothing except a few corpses, so Wu Shu sent more troops to expand the search area. Two days passed and the guards Laihui reported: "Your Majesty, there is still no news. We have expanded the search area hundreds of miles south, but we still haven't found anything."

Wu Shu hung his arms and snorted coldly: "Hmph, spread the portrait to all the state capitals, and reward anyone who can help the government catch the person a thousand taels of silver."

The guard cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Shu said: "Okay, I will go back to Xingzhong Mansion first. You can continue the search."

After the reward documents were posted, Zhao Yun, who was also in Yanjing City, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. He ordered his men to suspend the delivery of carrier pigeons and wait for a while.

Wu Shu quickly returned to Xingzhong Mansion and said to Wanyan Xiyin: "Gushen, this time I let Liang Xing's guy run away. I didn't catch him, and I was hit by an arrow in my arm."

Xi Yin sighed: "It's a pity that Liang Xing was not caught, but since Liang Xing escaped, it confirms his identity as a Song spy. We can use this to attack Talan and the others."

Wu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, and after signing the peace agreement, the Song Dynasty has not yet sent any coins."

In this way, under the planning of Wu Shu and others, the situation in Jinjing in the north suddenly became undercurrent. Wan Yanchang, who held the power of the Jin Dynasty, now wore more gorgeous clothes and looked more arrogant due to the success of the peace negotiation with the Song Dynasty. However, he was strongly attacked by Wu Shu and other political opponents, so that he had to go to Beijing to complain to Jin Xizong in person: "Wu Shu and others repeatedly attacked the peace talks and falsely accused me of having an affair with the Song Dynasty. Now the Tatar power in the north is getting stronger and stronger, and Xixia, The Western Liao Dynasty is watching with eager eyes. If I hadn't successfully negotiated peace with the Song Dynasty, wouldn't we, Dajin, have become a country with four wars?"

"I owe everything to my uncle today. My uncle is comparable to Duke Zhou." The young Jin Xizong had been under tremendous pressure from Wan Yanchang. He agreed nonchalantly, but he only lowered his head to practice calligraphy. There was obviously something behind his words.
