young master in arms

There was a lot of hustle and bustle outside that day, and it seemed that something important had happened. Empress Dowager Xie Shi hurriedly took the little emperor Zhao Bing to the front of the palace. She ordered Concubine Hua Wu Cuian to stabilize the harem. While counting the number of people in the side hall, I suddenly heard the panicked voices of the eunuchs: "The Mongols are coming!"

Wu Cuian was taken aback, and hurriedly called the guards to surround the side hall. After a while, the guards outside said: "This time, hundreds of Mongolian assassins sneaked into the palace and killed several ministers."

Wu Cuian was furious: "This Mongolian thief is really deceiving people too much. Are the queen mother and emperor okay?"

The guard said: "The empress dowager and the emperor are all fine, they were just frightened."

Wu Cui'an felt at ease, while comforting the many empresses in the harem who have been eating vegetarian food all day long, they couldn't help worrying about the young man who left yesterday.

She didn't know why she cared so much about him, as if in her heart, Xiao Yushan was her long-lost child.

Could it be that he thought his son was going crazy?

One must know that 30 years ago, she gave birth to a son who had been thrown into the rivers and lakes after several twists and turns. This Xiao Yushan was only 20 years old at most, so how could it be her child?

Just thinking about it, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted: "Who dares to break into the harem?"

He heard a familiar voice say: "I'm going down to Xiao Yushan, and I'm here to see the noble concubine."

Wu Cuian recognized Xiao Yushan's voice, and hurried out, the guards saw the imperial concubine going out, and greeted them one after another, Wu Cuian asked them to get up, and kept their eyes on Xiao Yushan's face for a moment.

There was also a woman in green who followed him, her face was covered by a pale mask, she couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't ask, Xiao Yushan saw the noble concubine, and bowed immediately: "Caomin implores the empress to take this girl in."

He said: "This girl is the daughter of the owner of the Valley of the Medicine King in the past. Because she was murdered by an adulterer, her father died and her face was disfigured. The war is raging outside. The grass people dare to take her in."

When Wu Cui'an heard this, she guessed that this woman was the daughter of Medicine King Valley, and her medical skills and pharmacology were naturally extraordinary. Now that the harem is vegetarian for days, many concubines have already fallen ill. The doctors in the palace have to join the army as medical soldiers, and the remaining ones are all taking care of the queen mother and her husband Several military and political ministers, no one in this harem can heal, if this woman can, it would be a good thing.

So she agreed.

After thanking Xiao Yushan, he was about to leave first, but the woman in green suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Concubine Hua.

This blow was really fast, no one present could see it, Wu Cui'an was originally a son and daughter of the world, and his martial arts were extraordinary, but after entering the palace, his skills were not as good as before, even though she saw this blow now, there was nowhere to avoid it.

At a critical juncture, I saw a person rushing towards him, it was too late to draw his sword, and the dagger pierced his chest.

Only then did the guards around react, and hastily detained the woman, and knocked off her mask one by one with a slap. The appearance was so horrifying that one almost vomited. She knew that the plan had failed, and stared at Wu Cui'an with resentful eyes: "Because my father drugged you 30 years ago to poison your newborn child to death, you exterminated my father and forced us to live in seclusion in the Valley of Medicine Kings. Now that my father is dead, I will demand your death !"

She laughed wildly and tried to fight off the guards who held her.

Unexpectedly, a knife pierced her chest.

She stared at her until she died.

Wu Cuian had seen strong winds and waves before, so she didn't feel panic, but Xiao Yushan who blocked the blow for her made her frightened, and hurriedly shouted to stop the bleeding.

Seeing that the guards had dealt with the assassin, she didn't dare to hesitate, and directly asked someone to bring Xiao Yushan into the room.

She took advantage of the guards to call the doctor, trying to stop the bleeding first.

She was originally from the world, so she would not shy away from it.

He took off Xiao Yushan's coat and underwear, and suddenly his whole body trembled.

At this moment, in her eyes, the sword-shaped birthmark on Xiao Yushan's heart made her tears well up.

When Xiao Yushan woke up, the first thing he saw was Wu Cuian's kind eyes.

He seemed to have seen such eyes before.

They seemed to be the eyes of the woman I saw when I was just born.

But it's been too long, he only remembers it vaguely.

"Are you still in pain?" Wu Cui'an's voice was as gentle as the lady in the golden mansion asking the young master, Xiao Yushan suddenly had a strange illusion, as if he was just a newborn baby, at this moment Lying in his mother's arms, the warmth made him forget the pain before.

"I have sent someone to investigate your details. Are you a Kunlun disciple?"

"Yes."

"Born only 20 years ago?"

"No."

"No?" Her hands trembled, she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

"Master brought me back from the Kunlun Snow Mountain 20 years ago. He said that I was sealed in a piece of ice, and it was a miracle that I survived."

"Frozen?"

"Master said that I have been frozen for at least ten years."

"Bangdang."

The medicine in my hand fell, the stone in my heart fell, and the tears in my eyes finally fell.

Five days passed.

The Mongolian army finally attacked Yamen Town on a large scale.

It has been three days since the two armies confronted each other, and the Mongol army still couldn't attack Yamen Town. Qindu's [-]-strong army had already been wiped out. The defense line tried to go around Yamen Town in vain, and was in a pincer attack with the Mongolian army.

But behind Yamen town is the imperial court. When the fourth division of the imperial court heard that Lou Zigao was defeated, the commander Tie Aoxue went to battle in person and commanded his Iron Wolf Army to the east bank of the Weihe River overnight to block the momentum of Zhang Hongzheng's rebel army. Zhang Hongzheng was originally happy , was about to attack the Eighth Army of Yamen Town in one fell swoop, but was surrounded by the Iron Wolf Army behind him, so frightened, he hurriedly stopped his momentum and formed a formation on the spot.

He knew early on that the imperial court would send reinforcements to Yamen Town in an emergency, so he had already ordered the Mongolian army to divide [-] troops from Qindu to the south and sneak around to the east gate of the imperial court. attack.

Fortunately, Lu Xiufu had already anticipated Zhang Hongzheng's strategy, so he asked Tie Aoxue to send out the Iron Wolf Army, in order to guard against Zhang Hongzheng's move, he kept the Fourth Division of the imperial court.Although the enemy's offensive has been slowed down now, it is only a stopgap measure in the end. If the current crisis is to be completely resolved, it can only wait until the night wind stops.

On the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian army had been attacking Yamen Town for a long time and could not stop, so they withdrew for three miles and rested for a while. Discuss countermeasures overnight.

The left forward suddenly analyzed calmly: "This time I have been waiting to send troops here for many days. If we can't break through Yamen Town tomorrow, we will be attacked from both sides. I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

The head coach Zhang Hongfan nodded and said yes, his eyes were serious, and he scanned everyone's faces one by one, but he didn't see Zhang Hongzheng: "Where is that Zhang Hongzheng now?"

One person said: "Zhang Hongzheng broke through the east bank and was about to advance, but was blocked by Iron King's army. At this time, we should confront him on the east bank."

Zhang Hongfan pondered for a while: "For the current plan, if we want to break through Yamen Town quickly, there is little chance of winning by just attacking from the front."

Military Adviser Li Maoxian said: "Commander, if we can capture the concubine Wu Cui'an, we don't have to worry about other princes' reinforcements."

Zhang Hongfan bowed to the military master: "What the military teacher said is true."

Li Maoxian had some pride in his eyes: "Commander, let's see who this is?"

He waved the silk scarf in his hand, and a soldier begged to see him outside the tent: "This subordinate lived up to his mission and captured the imperial concubine Wu of the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhang Hongfan was overjoyed after hearing this, Li Maoxian knelt down and said, "Maoxian acted without the commander's order, please forgive him."

Zhang Hongfan immediately helped him up: "Mr. Li must not be like this, capturing the concubine now is an urgent need, what is the crime of the military commander? It is a great achievement."

Naturally, Li Maoxian didn't really think that he was at fault, he calculated that the Great Song Dynasty would send people out of the city to ask for help, and he had already set up ambushes at various checkpoints, and no one escaped in the past three days.

"In this way, those princes know that it will take some time for me to attack. Even if they come, the Song Dynasty will have been defeated by our army by then. The thousand-year ambition of the Mongolian army will finally be realized by me!" Zhang Hongfan laughed and asked The people around them tidied up the inside of the account, and he sat in the middle and said to the outside of the account: "Please concubine Song Dynasty."

Wu Cuian was pushed into the tent, Zhang Hongfan immediately reprimanded: "Don't be rude to the noble concubine."

That subordinate hurriedly knelt down, Zhang Hongfan waved him back, got down from his seat, and walked up to the queen mother: "Mongol commander Zhang Hongfan, I have seen the queen mother." Seeing it, Wu Shi didn't say a word, but smiled coldly.

Zhang Hongfan didn't know why she laughed: "I don't know why the imperial concubine laughed?"

The Empress Dowager said: "I laugh at you and wait for a seven-foot man who can't break through the city, but he caught me, an old woman. It's really hard."

Zhang Hongfan is not ashamed, he said: "If it is an ordinary woman, we must be ashamed, but the imperial concubine is the only mother in the Song Dynasty, so many women and children say, "The noble concubine Wu is praised by thousands of people, and her name will not lose to men through the ages". Let our boys admire you."

This is what he said in his heart, Zhang Hongfan is over fifty years old, even though he is married, his wife only knows how to buy rice, oil and salt all day long, after hearing about the deeds of Empress Dowager Qingxiu, he has a heart of admiration.

"Hmph, the wolf is ambitious, and his heart can be punished." Wu Cuian knew that now that he was captured by the Mongolian army, he would be used as a hostage to threaten the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhang Hongfan admired the Wu family, he was the commander in chief of one side, so he said with a smile, "If the imperial concubine can persuade King Chenggui to abdicate now, I will promise you to be the queen mother."

The queen mother sneered: "Could it be that the leader of the Mongolian army belongs to you, Zhang Hongfan?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals around were also taken aback. Could it be that Zhang Hongfan got carried away with complacency?

Zhang Hongfan's face flushed, and he snorted coldly: "Thieves, for the sake of being polite to you, don't toast or eat fine wine."

He no longer wanted to pretend, and waved his hand: "Come here, tie this woman to a tall building. Remember, it must be high enough that everyone in Yamen Town and the court can see it."

The queen mother was held down, but she still didn't change her expression: "Zhang Hongfan, even if you arrest me, the Song Dynasty will not surrender to foreigners. In our country, there are so many passionate people, loyal ministers and good generals, how could it be you and that Can Zhang Hongzheng succeed in doing such a mediocre thing?"

Zhang Hongfan said angrily, "I'm going to let you watch with your own eyes that the dynasty you talked about is shattered in my hands!"

Dawn breaks in the fish maw of the East, another day dawns.

Soldiers who died tragically on the battlefield could no longer feel the warmth of the sun.

Just when everyone opened their eyes and thought about how to survive today, they suddenly heard someone shout: "That's it. Concubine Hua!"

It was Tie Aoxue who heard the shout first.

He was resting on the east bank of the Weihe River, and when he heard a loud cry, he hurriedly looked in the direction the man was pointing at.
