The man who led the troops to attack Jueqing Valley this time was Meng Gong, the son of Xiangyang Prefecture general Meng Zongzheng. Meng Gong trained with his father in the army when he was young. Now he is twenty-five years old. He started from the bottom of the army as an officer and soldier. Step by step, he reached the position of general. His many years of military career gave him a strong insight into the battlefield situation. It was he who saw at a glance that the war taking place in Xiangyang was a fake war. Meng Gong, the general, looked at His Majesty the Emperor beside him, and was confused in his heart. He was young and very courageous. Along the way, His Majesty the Emperor had a pleasant face and exchanged many questions about the art of war with him. It seemed that the Emperor was not only affectionate but also affectionate. Yes, he also knew the art of war and strategy very well, and was not as ruthless as his father said, so he had the courage to ask the doubts in the minds of many generals. "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this battle with the Kingdom of Jin will not be hidden from the informants of all parties. Once the news leaks" Before Meng Gong could finish his words, he was frightened back by the cold eyes of His Majesty the Emperor. Seeing the slight deviation in his eyes, Jiang will feel chilled all over. Is this the power of the emperor? Only now did General Meng believe his father's words. His Majesty the Emperor was indeed ruthless. Didn't His Majesty the Emperor know that the truth of this war would be leaked out? Those soldiers would only obey orders and would not think about why they did so. But the generals who commanded knew in their hearts that this was a fake war. Whether it was the Jin general or the Song generals, including the Mongols, will know, it's just a matter of time. This is exactly Yang Kang's purpose. Even if these people do not leak the news, he will send people to spread the news. On the surface, this fake fight between the two countries is to quell the public anger in the Song Dynasty. In fact, it is His Majesty the Emperor's plan to deal with the powerful minister Shi Mi. A far prelude, because this matter has nothing to do with him. The strategy of feigning an attack was proposed by Shi Miyuan. It was Shi Miyuan who sent envoys to discuss with the Kingdom of Jin. It was Shi Miyuan's idea to falsely report military achievements and casualties of soldiers. Yang Kang only did one thing. He secretly told Master Lou He was sent to the Kingdom of Jin to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, otherwise King Rong Wanyan Hongxi would not pay attention to the envoys from the Kingdom of Song. Once the news of the fake war between the two countries spreads, Prime Minister Shi Miyuan colluded with the Kingdom of Jin, fooled the people, and manipulated the emperor It is conceivable that all the spearheads will be pointed at the prime minister, and the emperor is just a poor puppet who was manipulated. , who would believe that a new emperor who had just ascended the throne for more than two months would have anything to do with the Kingdom of Jin. His Majesty the Emperor received the sympathy vote, and the blame fell on the Prime Minister. In this way, the resentment of the people of the Song Dynasty will no longer be directed at the Jin Kingdom, but towards the Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. His Majesty the Emperor stabbed the long sword that was attacking the Kingdom of Jin into the Prime Minister's chest with his backhand. This sword was like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace. In terms of realm, it had reached the level of a great master of swordsmanship. The reason why Yang Kang glared at Meng Gong was because he felt that this little general talked too much. You can just be a little general, but you insist on playing with the emperor's heart. Can you let these things be known casually? While His Majesty the Emperor and the general were getting angry, the army of the Song State had already rushed into the Jueqing Valley. Facing the invasion of the army, the disciples of Jueqing Valley were completely unable to stop them. They were shot to death by random arrows while fleeing in panic, and they remained peaceful for hundreds of years. The Heartless Valley is about to be destroyed. Xidu Ouyang Feng originally thought that the Jueqing Valley disciples were trying to lure him away by lying about the military situation, but when he walked out of the hall, he found that the outside was in extreme chaos. Countless arrows were shot from a distance. Sure enough, the army had arrived. Could it be that Qiu Qianren's whereabouts were leaked and the Song army followed him? It¡¯s not advisable to stay here for a long time! Ouyang Feng turned around the hall, grabbed Gongsun Zhi, turned around to look for Ouyang Ke, and was about to leave the Jueqing Valley. He also wanted to get the magical acupoint closing skill from the master of the Jueqing Valley, but Ouyang Ke had already been thrown into the love flower bush by the disciples of the Jueqing Valley. Under the police custody, when Xidu found Ouyang Ke, the young master Ouyang was suffering painful torture. This scene made Xidu extremely angry. He forced Gongsun Zhi to hand over the antidote. However, the Jueqing Pill was in the hands of Qiu Qianchi. By the time Ouyang Feng rushed back to the hall, Qiu Qianchi and Qiu Qianren had already been helped by the disciples of Jueqing Valley. After leaving, Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianchi's prestige in the Jueqing Valley was higher than Gongsun Zhi. The army of the Song Dynasty was getting closer and closer, and Xidu had no choice but to lead Gongsun Zhi and Ouyang Ke to break out. As long as Gongsun Zhi had the formula for the love flower antidote, Ouyang Feng carried the two men and used his physical skills to escape. Walking quickly in the valley, there is only one exit from Jueqing Valley, where Yang Kang and Meng Gong are guarding. His Majesty the Emperor did not expect that there were so many experts in the Jueqing Valley. He thought that if he used a large army to advance, Gongsun Zhi would only die. He would not go in to check the situation until the people in the valley were cleaned up. Yang Kang did not expect to see Xidu Ouyang here. Feng, looking at Ouyang Feng's embarrassed appearance, had the urge to kill him, but there were sergeants around him, so taking action at this time would reveal his identity, so he had no choice but to hold back and watch Ouyang Feng forcefully break through. ? ?In the Valley of Love, Qiu Qianren and Qiu Qianchi had lost all their internal energy. With the help of the disciples from Jueqing Valley, they fled towards the cliff behind the valley. There was a rope along the cliff, and there was a platform below, where Qiu Qianchi practiced Kung Fu in Pingyue. There, Qiu Qianchi asked her brother to hold on to the rope and go down. When Qiu Qianren landed on the platform, she asked the Jueqing Valley disciples to cut off the rope. Iron Palm Lotus knew that if he went down, these Jueqing Valley disciples would definitely go down too. One person must be left to cut off the rope, otherwise they would be noticed by the officers and soldiers, and no one would be willing to stay and be killed. Only he would be left behind. The disciple will feel at ease. When the rope is cut and his brother is confirmed to be safe, Qiu Qianchi directs the disciple to escape in another direction. At this time, Qiu Qianren, who is at the bottom of the cliff, does not know that his sister has left the hope of life to him. Their brother and sister They have similar surnames, so they are prone to quarrels, but they are always thinking about each other. An hour later, His Majesty the Emperor walked into the Valley of Jueqing and saw Qiu Qianchi who was seriously injured. He asked Qiu Qianchi to be taken back to Xiangyang City. Yang Kang wanted to find out why Xidu Ouyang Feng appeared in the Valley of Jueqing. , otherwise he really wouldn't dare to use Jueqing Valley as a base. It was originally a very secret place, but once it was known to Xidu, it would probably become a place of death. The general Meng Gong looked at the beautiful Qiu Qianchi, and then at His Majesty the Emperor who looked strange. He couldn't help but guess that this woman was not an assassin who killed the late emperor, but a civilian girl that His Majesty wanted to seize. For this reason, he did not hesitate to dispatch 30,000 troops. No wonder the people said that His Majesty the Emperor was a coward. In the winter of 1219 AD, the war between the Song State and the Jin State finally ended in Xiangyang City. It lasted for one and a half months, with a total of 250,000 soldiers killed and injured by both sides. Of course, these are official figures. In the end, the two countries reached a consensus under Xiangyang City, and the Song Emperor Zhao Yun and King Wanyan Hongxi of the Jin Dynasty signed the "Xiangyang Collaborative Agreement". The contents of the collegial agreement include that the two countries still maintain the uncle-nephew relationship, the annual coins remain the same, the Song Dynasty compensates the Jin Dynasty and rewards the army with one million taels of silver, and the Jin Dynasty verbally declares that it did not assassinate the Song Dynasty. of the emperor. This one million taels of silver only made up for the Jin Army's consumption of money and food in the past month and a half. After all, war costs money. In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also gave the Jin Kingdom some urgently needed materials. He naturally knew that the Jin Kingdom was most What's missing? This is a gift to Uncle San Wang. He thanked King Rong for his cooperation and allowed him to survive this political crisis. King Rong nodded with satisfaction and left proudly. The generals of the Song State were filled with righteous indignation. They could just pretend to fight with the Jin State, but in the end they still had to send money and supplies to the Jin State. That was not as good as fighting the Jin Army to the death with real swords and guns, even if they died. He felt relieved. Looking at these angry generals, His Majesty the Emperor knew that the time had come to test his acting skills. "This is all arranged by the Prime Minister. Why would I want to be so humiliated?" His Majesty the Emperor said sadly with tears in his eyes. It was precisely because of these words of His Majesty the Emperor that the Song Dynasty launched a vigorous campaign to overthrow the minister Shi Miyuan in the following period. From the military to the scholar class, all public opinion attacked Shi Miyuan. The Emperor His Majesty has been portrayed as a cowardly and incompetent person who still has a conscience, so that Yang Kang can also explain to the Mongols. This is not my fault, it was all Shi Miyuan asked me to do. When the New Year was approaching, His Majesty the Emperor left Xiangyang City and returned to the court. On the night of the fourth day of the return journey, a figure shuttled through the military camp. This figure came to His Majesty the Emperor's palace, knocked down the guarding sergeant, entered His Majesty's tent, and reached out to grab the dragon couch. , he wanted to hold the Emperor of Song hostage in exchange for his sister. This person was Qiu Qianren, the former leader of the Iron Palm Gang. He stayed at the bottom of the cliff of Jueqing Valley for more than ten days. After recovering his martial arts, he climbed up the cliff and found that the Jueqing Valley was in a mess and a sergeant was patrolling. He grabbed the sergeant and questioned him. Knowing that his sister had been captured by the emperor, he rushed to Xiangyang City. The emperor had already left Xiangyang, and he caught up after two days of pursuit. He was not willing to kill another Song emperor for his sister. When Qiu Qianren's hand just grabbed the quilt on the couch, a sharp sword pierced Qiu Qianren's chest at a strange angle. Qiu Qianren was caught off guard and had to clamp the sword with both palms. His pair of iron palms were as strong as The fine iron prevented the sharp sword from piercing the chest. The person on the couch gave up the sharp sword and rushed in front of Qiu Qianren. One hand grabbed the Iron Palm Gang leader's chest. It was the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Qiu Qianren felt a pain in his chest and wanted to step back. The man followed him like a shadow and slapped a palm, which hit Qiu Qianren's iron palm together. A strong force knocked Qiu Qianren back one after another. The leader of the Iron Palm Gang did not expect to meet him here. Are the masters at the same level as him a trap or the emperor himself His Majesty the Emperor did not give Qiu Qianren time to think. He could not expose his martial arts skills. Yang Kang picked up the long sword on the ground, leaned forward, and stabbed Qiu Qianren's chest was injured by the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. He wanted to escape but was entangled with a sharp sword. He did not yell because he wasThe assassin would be unable to escape if he attracted the sergeant, and Yang Kang would not shout either. In the darkness, there was silence. The two masters fought desperately in the big tent. The situation was extremely dangerous. Every move they made would kill each other. In the end, the emperor killed Qiu Qianren with one sword. Only then did Yang Kang breathe a sigh of relief. He really He didn't expect that Qiu Qianren would come to assassinate him. This was a complete accident. His Majesty the Emperor breathed deeply and slowly recovered. He looked at Qiu Qianren's body. This was the first quasi-peerless master he had killed. Although it was suspected of being a sneak attack, it was definitely a manifestation of his strength. He no longer had to worry about being a peerless master. A master's assassination, even if he couldn't kill the opponent, at least he could protect himself and escape. Since then, he holds the imperial power in one hand and the sword in the other. I wonder who else in the world can shake his throne. (To be continued.)
