"What Marquis Cheng'an wants to say, please speak up." Shi Jin knew that he had no position to interfere in the private affairs of other people's couples. He straightened his clothes, walked to the table and sat down. Even though he was a prisoner, he still carried the nobility of a young man from an aristocratic family, not even flinching in his movements.

"I want Master Shi to help me."

"It's ridiculous. As an official of the imperial court, how can I collude with a traitor like you?" Shi Jin said without thinking, "Rong Xia, you don't have to waste your words, I won't cooperate with you."

"In that case, I won't force it," Rong Xia stood up, turned around and walked out the door, without any intention of convincing the other party. His reaction stunned everyone present. Du Jiu glanced at Rong Xia in surprise, then at Shi Jin, who was sitting silently at the table, then turned around and chased after him.

"Master Shi." Zhao Zhong stayed in the room. He was born with a kind face. Anyone who saw him at first glance would feel that this person would definitely not lie.

Shi Jin ignored him.

Zhao Zhong didn't care, just picked a stool and sat down, and poured tea for the two of them slowly: "Master Shi, did you go to the frontier as a errand a few years ago?"

Shi Jin's eyebrows moved slightly. He turned to look at Zhao Zhong, wondering what he wanted to say.

"You don't have to be so guarded against me, I'm just talking casually," Zhao Zhong said with an honest face, "I wanted to learn martial arts when I was young, but my family didn't agree, so I delayed it over the years."

"It's bitterly cold in the frontier, it's okay for Mr. Zhao not to go," Shi Jin took a sip of the cold tea, "When did you collude with Rong Xia?"

"This is not called collusion, but like-mindedness," Zhao Zhong sneered and turned to look out the window, "I have served as the governor of Xuezhou for several years, and I barely have some status in the minds of the local people. But when Xuezhou When Xuezhou suffered a disaster, I, as a parent official, could not get much help from the court for them. Three years ago, there was a flood in Xuezhou and many people died. The court was afraid that there would be a plague in Xuezhou, so they sent people from outside to The city has been sealed, and only people are allowed in but not allowed out."

"I know this is a way to prevent the plague, and I have not complained to anyone, but after the imperial court sealed Xuezhou, it did not send anyone to send food and medicine. Could it be that the imperial court planned to starve all the people to death and let Xuezhou The state became an isolated city?" When talking about this matter, Zhao Zhong's eyes turned red, "Do you know how many people died in Xuezhou?"

"Ten thousand people! Ten thousand people!"

Shi Jin was silent. He remembered that incident, but it was in a letter written by his father. Because of Xuezhou's incident, there was not much fuss in the court at all. Later, someone seemed to be under pressure to report it to the court. Regarding this matter, he personally escorted the grain and herbs to Xuezhou.

"Those days, the crying in Xuezhou City never stopped. Mothers cried for their children, husbands cried for their wives, and children cried for their parents." Zhao Zhong's voice trembled, "There could have been no need for so many people to die. There was no need to die. So many people..."

Later Rong Xia appeared, bringing life-saving herbs. At that moment, he almost knelt down in front of Rong Xia.

He will never forget the mood at that moment, nor can he forget it. Later he learned that Rong Xia reported the Xuezhou incident under heavy pressure, and therefore offended some officials. Later, when he worked with Xue Zhou, he was attracted by Rong Xia's personal charm and was willing to join his staff.

Shi Jin was speechless. Of course he knew how corrupt the imperial court was. Even his father was a member of this corruption. So at that time, he was avoiding Banhua and the heavy burden of the Shi family. He wanted to be a person who could distinguish between black and white, someone who dared to love and hate, but for the sake of the family, he did not dare to be willful, so he could only carry the family's shell and move forward step by step.

"The Zhao family has a large population, are you not afraid of injuring your family?"

"As long as you are determined, there will definitely be a way not to harm your family." Zhao Zhong shook his head, "Methods are all thought up by people, it just depends on whether they want to or not."

Shi Jin was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "You are doing a good job as a lobbyist. I was almost tempted."

"It's not that I did a good job, but that Mr. Shi still has conscience and justice in his heart," Zhao Zhong smiled honestly, "I don't have a good mind and I just say whatever comes to my mind. Mr. Shi can't Don't blame me for speaking incoherently."

"Now that I am a prisoner, what right do I have to dislike others?" Shi Jin saw that Zhao Zhong had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "How are the soldiers I brought with me?"

"My Lord knows that they are also taking orders from others and have no choice, so he will not embarrass them. Don't worry." Zhao Zhong saw that he was still thinking about those soldiers and had a good impression of Shi Jin. "You were captured. The news has almost reached the ears of King Changqing. Even if we let you go at this time, King Changqing and the court will no longer believe you. You might as well follow us. When the Lord's work is completed, not only the people of the world will have a good life. , even your Shi family has a chance to revive. As for now..." Zhao Zhong shook his head repeatedly, "Your Shi family is the prince's old family. There is no way Emperor Fengning can trust your Shi family. When Emperor Fengning abdicates, he will After the succession of descendants, who in the court still remembers the once-prominent Shi family?"

"Emperor Fengning won't reuse our Shi family, how can Rong Xia do it?"

"My lord is different from Emperor Fengning. He only values ​​talents. As long as you do your own thing well, you are not afraid that my lord will not reuse or trust you." Zhao Zhong was still very sure about this. "What do you think about Emperor Fengning?" The tyrant compares himself with my lord and insults my lord."

In Zhao Zhong's heart, he admired Rong Xia very much.

Seeing that he admired Rong Xia so much, Shi Jin didn't know whether to feel funny or to take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks. However, thinking about the world where people are in dire straits, he couldn't refute Zhao Zhong's words.

"Of course he will trust others if they are capable," Shi Jin turned his head and looked at the hibiscus tree outside the yard, "but he will not have no grudge against me."

"Do you have old grudges?" Zhao Zhong was a little confused. Shi Jin and his lord didn't seem to have any conflicts, right?

"Maybe." Shi Jin closed his eyes, looking like he didn't want to say more.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Zhong stood up and said goodbye very wisely. He walked out of the yard and saw Du Jiu standing outside. He glanced around: "Where is my lord?"

"I went to visit the injured soldiers with General Ban," Du Jiu stood against the wall with his sword in his arms. When he saw Zhao Zhong coming out, "Have you moved Shi Jin's place?"

"From what I see, he doesn't seem to be very loyal to the court. He just doesn't know why he doesn't want to be loyal to the lord. He also said that they have old grudges." Zhao Zhong frowned, "You have been following the lord, but do you know that the lord and the lord have an old grudge?" What about Shi Jin?"

Du Jiu had a look of surprise on his face. He reached out and patted Zhao Zhong on the shoulder: "Brother Zhao, this matter is not your responsibility. If Shi Jin doesn't want to, that's it."

"Then you should let me know what's going on." Zhao Zhong became even more curious.

"The fewer people who know about some things, the better," Du Jiu shook his head, "Brother Zhao, don't be too curious."

What should he say? Shi Jin is interested in General Ban, but their master is unhappy? As the Lord's personal bodyguard, he relies not only on his skills, but also on his brains.

After Banhua and Rong Xia visited the wounded soldiers, they went to watch the soldiers drill. Among the large number of soldiers, some soldiers wearing imperial armor could be seen interspersed among them. Most of the armors on these people were worn and thrifty, and the protective The chest mirror is only a thin piece. Not to mention protecting the arrow flying from the front, even a dagger can penetrate it.

After these imperial troops were captured, some people were still resisting, but after the Rong family army had a breakfast, the resistance was much weaker.

When Banhua and Rong Xia came over, lunch was about to be cooked. Buckets of wowotou and thick porridge were brought out, and the captured imperial troops were treated the same, except that Rong's army had two side dishes, and they only had one.

However, they were still very satisfied because there was You Xing'er in it. If they were lucky, they could find a piece of meat from the vegetables. This made them want to carry it in their pockets and eat it every meal after not seeing You Xing'er for many days. I only took it out and took a lick when I was eating.

The wowotou is very rough and the thick porridge is also cooked with old rice, but there is no peculiar smell and it is still warm when you eat it.

When Banhua saw the imperial army squatting on the ground, holding big thick bowls and eating with gusto, Banhua felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Although she mingled with the soldiers, she couldn't swallow the food. She could barely take a few sips of the porridge, especially the cornbread that stuck in her throat. She tasted it once and almost spit it out.

"Lord! General!" The soldiers who were eating noticed them and stood up to salute.

"Everyone have a good meal," Ban Hua said with a straight face, "No one is allowed to get up to salute. If you dare to get up again, I will pull you to the stage and kick your butts!"

The soldiers laughed loudly, but after hearing these words, they really relaxed more, secretly grabbing the porridge in the bowl and secretly looking at Banhua and Rong Xia.

Rong Xia has long known how Banhua gets along with the soldiers on weekdays. In terms of the way he gets along with ordinary soldiers, Rong Xia thinks that he is more attractive than Banhua. Hearing Banhua say such vulgar words, Rong Xia didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He was a little shocked when he first heard it, but now he has become accustomed to it.

What's more, soldiers are more suitable for this kind of communication, so he won't tell Huahua what to do.

In the military camp, Huahua didn't care much about how he got along with his advisers, and he would not interfere with Huahua's behavior. This was their respect for each other.

The Rong family army was able to let go, but the imperial army was a little restrained. When they saw Banhua and Rong Xia coming over, they were holding bowls and didn't know whether to stand up or continue to eat hard.

When they woke up early this morning, they were tied together like grasshoppers. They were all surrounded by rebels outside. They didn't even have a chance to resist, so they were just brought here.

There were more than 10,000 people, many of whom were obviously not **** and were brought here honestly, so honestly that the soldiers of the Rong Family Army felt a little distressed.

"Everyone is the same, those who should eat should eat well," Rong Xia saw the imperial army cowering and numb, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "My lord and I just came here to see how everyone is eating."

"General," the leader of the Huotou Army came over with a playful smile, "Although our food is not as delicious as home-cooked food, we will definitely satisfy you, so you can rest assured."

"It's good if you can take care of yourself." Banhua turned his head with satisfaction and looked at Rong Xia, "Master, do you still want to take a look?"

"That's all, if we were here, they wouldn't have to eat well," Rong Xia said with cupped hands, "Soldiers, you have worked hard. I, Rong, have nothing to repay, so I can only thank you with courtesy." After saying that, he faced All the soldiers bowed deeply.

"Lord!" The eyes of these upright men were red, "We will fight to the death for the people, and we will fight to the death for the lord!"

The shouts are overwhelming, this is the persistence of a group of passionate men.

The Imperial Army looked at these people blankly, not knowing whether they were frightened by the roar or confused by their own behavior.

The military camp was very large, divided into several large camps. After Rong Xia and Banhua walked through it one by one, Banhua felt that he was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. She was riding on horseback, "You have confused King Evergreen's sight. Are you preparing to attack from behind?"

"The one who knows me is Huahua," Rong Xia nodded, "King Changqing is an extremely conceited person and a very suspicious person."

"Is this someone who thinks he knows you?" Banhua added, "I still remember the myna whose neck was twisted in Prince Changqing's Mansion. Who do you think taught the myna to say that sentence? words?"

"It's no longer important who taught it," Rong Xia saw clearly, "What's important is that King Changqing wanted you to see this."

The more people he saw, the more innocent he seemed, especially the ones he saw were Banhua and Ban Heng, a pair of siblings loyal to Emperor Yunqing.

Banhua suddenly remembered that there were indeed some rumors about King Changqing outside at that time. King Changqing may have done this to retreat in order to make Emperor Yunqing believe that he was innocent if many people targeted him again. victim.

When you think a person is suspicious, you think everything about him is suspicious. Banhua recalled that during the autumn hunt the year before last, she and Jiang Luo had an argument at the hunting ground. In the end, King Changqing scolded Jiang Luo for a few words. Jiang Luo did not refute at that time. At that time, she only thought that Jiang Luo was a little restrained in front of his elders. Now I feel that it is not respect for the elders, but because King Changqing is the supporter behind him.

The reason King Changqing chose to support Jiang Luo behind the scenes was probably not because he valued Jiang Luo, but because Jiang Luo was not smart and easy to fool, and King Changqing was ambitious.

"I really didn't expect that King Changqing would be such a person." Although Banhua didn't have many personal relationships with King Changqing, she had a good impression of him at first. "It seems that my vision is Not good, you don’t know people well.”

"Who said you have bad taste? You even found me. What a good taste you have?" Rong Xia said seriously, "I don't agree with this."

"It's shameless not to forget to praise yourself at this time." Banhua rolled her eyes at him and patted the horse's **** to make the horse run faster. Rong Xia quickly followed and finally caught up in front of the temporary residence.

It was already past noon, and the guard brought the food to the two of them. Banhua picked up the bowl and ate without picking and choosing.

"Huahua, I've made you suffer."

A quarter of an hour later, Rong Xia looked at Banhua's empty bowl and felt even more unhappy.

"Know that I'm working hard, so be nice to me in the future," Banhua picked up herbal tea, rinsed her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "When are we going to break camp?"

Qingsong County is now under their firm control. Except for the news they want King Changqing to know, no other news can be spread. Perhaps at this time, King Changqing was still fighting a war of attrition by the river in Yongzhou, completely unaware that Rong Xia had brought most of his soldiers to Qingsong County.

"The weather is good tomorrow, so it's good to go out." Rong Xia turned to look at Banhua, "But I have more important things to tell you now."

"Say." Banhua put her helmet aside and took off the heavy armor on her body. As soon as she took off the crown that bound her hair, her black hair fell down. She looked like a lazy cat. Lying on the couch as if he had no bones.

Rong Xia couldn't help but glance at her, but after thinking about what she was going to say, she became serious again: "I hope you won't take risks again in the future, I will be very worried."

"Huh?" Banhua opened her eyes wide, "You mean what happened yesterday?"

Rong Xia walked up to her, sat down next to her, and said seriously, "No plan is foolproof. If any part of it goes wrong, I dare not think about the consequences."

"Where are you thinking? Several generals in the imperial army were former members of the Ban family. Even if I were caught by them, they would not make things difficult for me," Banhua said nonchalantly, "The imperial army and It’s like a sieve, what danger can there be?”

"婳婳!" Rong Xia said with a serious face, "But there are always eventualities in the world, and I don't dare to bear this eventuality."

Banhua heard that his tone was wrong, and the lazy expression on his face gradually disappeared: "But do you think there is anyone else who is more suitable to go than me?"

"Even if you are the most suitable, I don't want you to go." Rong Xia pulled her shoulders to let her understand how determined her attitude was, "I have many subordinates, but there is only one you, you Do you understand?"

The room was extremely quiet. After a long while, he pulled away Rong Xia's hand holding his shoulder: "Don't let others hear what you said, otherwise they will definitely stop having **** with you."

"Huahua," Rong Xia was a little angry, "Don't make fun of me."

"I know what you mean," the smile on Banhua's face disappeared, "but I am the only one who knows how to contact these old ministries, and they only trust me. If it were anyone else, the plan might not succeed. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. I know you are an ambitious person. Why do you choose the most difficult path to take in these matters? Since I am the most suitable person, don't let other soldiers make unnecessary sacrifices. As a person General, we cannot do anything that chills the soldiers."

"Most of the ancestors of our Ban family were generals in the army. They were not generals who made unnecessary sacrifices for their own lives." Banhua lowered his eyelids. He looked very peaceful, but what he said was Nothing like the daughter in the boudoir, "I am a wealthy lady who is afraid of hardship and fatigue, but I have been dealing with soldiers since I was a child. I am afraid of the hardships in the military camp, but I admire them. But now that I have arrived in the military camp, they call me general, I will be responsible for them."

"There is no one in the Ban family who is greedy for life and afraid of death on the battlefield. Although I, Banhua, am a woman, I don't want to insult the legacy of my ancestors." Banhua looked up at Rong Xia, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious face, "But Don't worry, I will never make fun of my own life, nor will I make you sad."

Rong Xia nodded silently.

"Okay." Banhua reached out and removed his cheek, "Don't be upset, just smile for me."

Rong Xia let her pinch his face here and there, and suddenly said: "Huahua, if you were a man, I would definitely admire you very much."

"If I were a son-in-law, even if you admired me again, I would not split my love for you." Banhua smiled and rolled his eyes, "There are so many beauties in the world, I must appreciate them slowly, how can I have the time to follow you?" You, a stinky man, are getting mixed up together."

"So I think it's better for you Jiao'e," Rong Xia suddenly hugged Banhua on her knees, turned her over, and patted her **** twice gently, and said helplessly, " Next time you do this, I’ll spank you so you can’t get out of bed.”

"As a man, beating me until I can't get out of bed is nothing." Banhua didn't get angry when he slapped me twice. Instead, she snorted softly, "You have the ability..."

No man could bear such words, so Rong Xia put him on his shoulders and walked to the bed.

This battle between men and women was hearty. Although Rong Xia couldn't make Banhua unable to get out of bed, at least he was looking happy. The next time I go to the study to discuss the timing with the counselors and generals, I will have more smiles on my face than usual.

Even if this matter is revealed, only the lip marks on each other's chests between Rong Xia and Ban Hua express their bottom line.

Early on the next morning, the army set off. Rong Xia left some people behind to guard Qingsong County, and the army headed directly towards Yongzhou City.

Yongzhou and Taizhou are bounded by a river. As long as Yongzhou is not destroyed, the Chiang Dynasty still has hope. If Yongzhou city is destroyed, it will be devastating and the court will lose their initiative. It will be difficult to regain the situation. More difficult.

The imperial court also knew this, so it sent over King Changqing and Shi Jin, who were barely useful. It's a pity that there are too many moths in the court. Some people cut corners on the soldiers' weapons and armor, and some people take advantage of the grain and grass, and make up for it.

It allows the horses to run but does not let them eat grass. If the court is like this, how can it expect the soldiers to work hard to kill the enemy for him?

From Qingsong County to Yongzhou, if you march in a hurry, you can reach it in about two days and one night.

Just when King Changqing was about to send troops across the river to attack the Rong family army, Yongzhou City was surrounded by dense Rong family troops. The soldiers on the observation deck were so frightened that their legs weakened when they saw the menacing attack of the Rong family's army. They kept gesturing to the defenders below with their command flags, telling them that the Rong's family's army was coming.

"The rebels are coming!"

"The rebels are coming!"

The sound contained more fear and escape than passion and anger.

King Changqing was still waiting for Rong Xia to lead his troops to attack from the bridge. Unexpectedly, he turned around and heard soldiers reporting that the Rong family army was attacking from the north. The north gate of Yongzhou was facing the direction of Qingsong County.

"How many people are there?" King Changqing thought it was the army led by Banhua, and he was still a little dissatisfied with Shi Jin. He couldn't even stop a woman. He was really a useless waste.

"Yuan, Marshal, my subordinates must have more than fifty thousand."

"What?" King Changqing suddenly looked back at the soldier reporting the news, "How come there are fifty thousand?"

"My subordinates saw that the leading general's flag had the word Rong written on it," the soldier said with some awe, "My subordinates suspected that Rong Xia was personally leading the troops."

"I'll go over and take a look right away!"

King Evergreen climbed on his horse and hurried over.

At this time, both sides were still very restrained and scolded each other. On one side, I expressed my condolences to his female family members, and on the other side, I expressed condolences to the other person’s family. After going back and forth to express condolences to each other, not even the coffin boards of the eighteen generations of ancestors were spared.

The scolding array may seem vulgar, but it actually has great benefits. If they yell at each other and the other generals lose their composure, they may make mistakes when commanding the battlefield. Sometimes a mistake can mean the difference between winning or losing.

"Your grandma has such little legs, why did I give birth to you, a pig or a dog?" A veteran of the Rong family army slapped his thigh and cursed, "I only regret that I didn't pee on you back then. It's better to be on the wall than to come and scold me today."

"Bah, who are you? How dare you take advantage of your grandfather." The general at the city gate showed no weakness and started to curse.

"General Wang, what do you keep this unfilial thing for?" Ban Hua suddenly said, "He is such an unkind, unjust, useless waste, why wait until he dies?!"

After saying that, Banhua raised his hand and gestured, asking the archers who had been prepared to shoot arrows directly at the person who cursed the most.

"It's better to kill such a disobedient junior, so as not to harm the world."
