young master in arms

In the Luanfeng Hall, Concubine Hua Wu was sitting in the middle, and several assistant ministers below bowed their heads in silence, as if they were waiting for Concubine Hua to speak goldenly.

Mrs. Wu picked up the tea filled by her maid, took a sip, relaxed her brows, and breathed a sigh of relief: "The loves have worked hard these days."

Several people hurriedly knelt down and said, "It is really the duty of the courtiers to share the worries of the world. Concubine Hua's words are serious, and we dare not take credit for it."

Wu said with a smile: "All lovers please hurry up, the Ai family didn't want to blame you and others."

She saw several people get up and said: "I called you here today because of what the Queen Mother said." As soon as she spoke, several ministers discussed a few words, and one of them said: "That day the Mongolian army came from the north. After invading Ganzhou, Concubine Hua went to persuade the emperor to go all the way south until it was difficult. Now that the Mongolian army is approaching the city, even if they want to escape, they will eventually be caught up."

The other person was quite dissatisfied, his expression was upright, and his brows exuded a sense of righteousness. Looking at his face, one could know that he was upright and devoted himself to the court. He said: "To the concubine Hua, the battle in Ganzhou is full of doubts." As far as I know, the Ganzhou guard was drinking in the mansion that day, but he suddenly felt unwell and wanted to go back to his room to rest. There was no sound at night. Unexpectedly, Li Heng led his troops into the city suddenly on the second day, and there was no one in front of him. Discover."

Concubine Hua nodded. She also had doubts in her heart. Even if the Mongols made a surprise attack, they would not remain silent. Now it seems that the Mongols invaded Ganzhou, but it seems that Ganzhou opened the door to let them in. It is said that there are Mongols working carefully to cooperate with the inside and outside, but anyone can see that this matter is beyond the reach of careful work. Just because the Mongol army is approaching the city and no one notices it, it can be known that there must be someone in the court colluding with it.

Thinking of this point, Concubine Hua had discussed with many ministers, and many people thought that this was done deliberately, and the purpose was naturally to seek refuge in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

But in the end it's just speculation, there is no real evidence, so Concubine Hua dare not jump to conclusions.

Now that she heard this man's words, she had an idea in her mind, and nodded to him: "What the Iron King said is very true. The Mongols are about ten days away from Ganzhou. How could they come to the city overnight? The Mongols must have been lurking long ago. , when the time is right, attack in one fell swoop."

Tie Wang himself was upright, and he must have blurted out what he thought: "I think this matter has something to do with Prime Minister Wen."

As soon as this remark came out, the other ministers were startled, and began to say that the man said angrily: "Tie Aoxue, don't you want to spit out blood, the prime minister has served the government for many days, and he has done so many good deeds, how could he do such a thing of colluding with foreign countries?"

"Wolf ambition, don't need to say more." Tie Aoxue gave the minister a look, Hua Taifei saw this and hurriedly stopped: "You two don't want to quarrel, this matter is full of doubts, don't preconceive it, it will wrong the innocent."

Tie Aoxue bowed: "This minister is talking too much."

Concubine Hua naturally knew that what Tie Aoxue said was true, but she couldn't take sides, so she could only pretend to criticize: "I will not be an example."

After the meeting was over, Concubine Hua left Tie Aoxue alone, and other ministers thought that Concubine Hua wanted to settle accounts with Tie Aoxue, so they all laughed. Unexpectedly, Concubine Hua invited Tie Aoxue to the side room and spread out a painting .

Tie Aoxue looked carefully and couldn't help wondering: "What is the meaning of this painting by Concubine Hua?"

Concubine Hua Wu looked at the baby in the painting, her eyes were full of kindness: "As the elder of the dynasty, you should know that the concubine married herself to the royal family, and she has only conceived one child."

Tie Aoxue nodded, not many people knew about it.

Concubine Hua said: "I have pity on my son, who was accused of disrespect and drowned in the basin when he was born." At this point, Concubine Hua couldn't help but burst into tears, pity the hearts of parents all over the world. With the cute appearance of the baby, she has unlimited expectations for the future.

Tie Aoxue was silent, and sighed after a while: "That day when the son was born, the sky and the earth were dark, the wind was howling, and there was heavy rain in many parts of the world, causing the people to suffer unspeakably. The divination officials calculated that this son was destined to be unknown. If it is in his hands, the king is afraid that the country and the country will be destroyed in one day, and he will be drowned despite the dissuasion of Hua Doufei."

After that day, Concubine Hua lost her energy. Now, 30 years later, she still can't forget the lovely face when the midwife held him in front of her eyes. I want my mother to hug me." So she ignored her frail body and hugged her son in her arms, the little cutie stopped crying, and even waved her fleshy fingers to touch her face.

Concubine Hua brushed her finger over the painted baby's face, and she said: "The guards who performed the mission many years later leaked a secret after drinking." As she spoke, the tears on her face were replaced by a smile, and Tie Aoxue saw it. Some people say that Concubine Hua is beautiful in the world, even though she is over fifty years old, she is still as gorgeous as yesterday, so she heard Concubine Hua say: "The guard just had a baby, and he couldn't bear to see such a child die so tragically, so he secretly found her to give birth to her." The child who died in infancy replaced my child."

Tie Aoxue was shocked: "Is he still alive?"

Concubine Hua nodded: "Before I married into the palace, I was a son and daughter of Jianghu, and I had a good relationship with the Nangong family, so I entrusted them to help me find my child, but decades later, I still have no clue.

As she spoke, her eyes became brighter and brighter: "Until not long ago, someone saw him in Quanzhou."

Tie Aoxue asked: "How did he get to the capital?"

Concubine Hua shook her head: "I don't know either."

Concubine Hua pointed to the baby's heart on the painting: "Please look, Ai Qing, there is a sharp knife scar on my child's heart."

Tie Aoxue looked carefully, there really was a sharp knife on his chest that seemed to be unsheathed, he was terrified, just looking at the portrait, he felt a cold murderous aura coming from this boy, no wonder the emperor wanted to drown him back then.

"Does that person also have this mark on his heart?"

Concubine Hua laughed through her tears: "Exactly."

She thought about her child day and night, and always wanted to reunite with him, but now that she knew that the child was still alive, she couldn't hold back any longer, and she even saluted Tie Aoxue, which made Tie Aoxue flattered and scared He hastily knelt down and bowed: "Pride Concubine Hua does such a great gift, I dare not be proud of it."

Then I heard Concubine Hua say: "I, Wu Cuian, have never begged anyone in my life, but today I beg you as a mother. If I find him back, I will not be able to repay you?"

Tie Aoxue was shocked this time, if he hadn't practiced martial arts all year round, he would have already spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Concubine Hua, it is difficult for the Song Dynasty to take the lead. The Mongolian army is too aggressive. A big battle is inevitable. I worry about dealing with Mongolia day and night. How about sending someone to find him after the crisis is over?"

Concubine Hua's eyes turned cold, and her words became cold: "The emperor gave my son to death. I, Wu Cui'an, have endured this hatred for thirty years. Now that he is dead, no one in today's world dares to influence me. Regarding my prince, I have made up my mind, if King Tie refuses to agree, I will report to the Empress Dowager that King Tie is secretly preparing to flee south."

Tie Wang Tie Aoxue trembled for a while and didn't dare to say any more, so he had to agree.

After he receded, Concubine Hua looked at the baby in the painting and said, "My child, even if the world is turned upside down, mother will avenge you. Otherwise, the pain of separation between mother and child for 30 years will be hard to swallow."

A man came galloping from the east of Chaozhou, and got off his horse when he reached Doumen. He looked around for a while, wondering in his heart: "Why didn't I see a single soldier along the way?"

Xiao Yushan stopped for a moment, determined to enter the city.

Soon he entered Doumen and entered Chaozhou. Although the distance between Leizhou and Chaozhou was only a few miles, there was a natural barrier separating them. After checking.

Fortunately, there were only a few people who had seen him before, so he easily passed the guards. He first found an inn to stay in. This inn was located on the side of the city gate, so it was convenient to observe the people entering the city. He figured that Zhang Hongfan's large army should still be on the way. But he couldn't help worrying that Zhang Hongfan would divide the team into two groups, and he himself would hold back and put the army on standby. If there was some trouble in Chaozhou, it might be an opportunity for him to attack.

At this moment, he was about to order a bowl of wine, but he didn't want someone to sit across from him.

The person came with three long swords on his back. Xiao Yushan took a quick look at the three swords, one iron, one copper and one wood. He thought it was Chu Xiaoxiao, but when he was about to speak, it was someone else, a person he didn't know, who fell down immediately. Filling his wine glass, he raised his head and took a sip.

The visitor waited for him to finish drinking, then cupped his hands and said: "Suwen in Xia Nangong, I just went upstairs and saw someone drinking, so I came here uninvited. I wonder if it will disturb your elegant mood?"

Xiao Er took the bowl and chopsticks and put them in front of Nan Gongxiao, then backed away, he was still waiting for Xiao Yushan's answer, Xiao Yushan got up and wanted to leave.

He walked quickly and disappeared at the entrance of the inn in the blink of an eye.

Nangong Suwen looked at his receding figure, chuckled lightly, and followed him with lightness kung fu.

At a certain corner, Xiao Yushan suddenly stopped and shouted in a low voice: "Come out."

Nangong Suwen, who was hiding behind, Shi Shiran came out, his sword was so obtrusive that people couldn't help but notice him: "Your Excellency, you haven't finished drinking, why are you leaving?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Xiao Yushan turned around, his eyes fell on Nangong Suwen: "The Nangong family?"

Nangong smiled and nodded lightly: "Exactly." After speaking, he seemed quite proud: "The only people in this world who dare to be named Nangong are my family members."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yushan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and his cold tone interrupted the young man's pride.

The gentle smile on Nangong Suwen's face disappeared in an instant. He pulled out the iron sword behind him and said flatly: "I know that your Excellency is a good swordsman, and I want to learn from you."

"No time!"

"You can't help it!" Nangong Suwen stabbed straight with the long sword, almost forcing Xiao Yushan to draw his sword to parry.

But before he reached Xiao Yushan's side, he felt a terrifying sword intent coming, and was about to withdraw his sword to defend, but Xiao Yushan had already put the iron sword in his hand on his neck: "Don't follow me again." He left a word, walked around the corner ahead, and disappeared in front of Nangong Suwen.

Nangong Su asked without realizing it, he didn't even see clearly how Xiao Yushan made a move.

He just felt a sword intent, and the offensive seemed to be resolved.

It wasn't until Xiao Yushan walked for a long time that he collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely, his eyes filled with fear, and his heart was completely blank. If it wasn't for Xiao Yushan's unwillingness to reveal his identity, I'm afraid the third son of the Nangong family would have lost his mind. Crazy, never dare to swagger through the market with three swords on your back.
