Quan Guanqing and Elder Peng sat across from each other at the entrance of a beggar gang in Huangzhou. Quan Guanqing looked pale and muttered something unknown. Although Elder Peng looked gloomy, he still greeted everyone. Several elders of the beggar sect who were dressed in clean clothes and dirty clothes were sitting around without talking, and the room was full of gloom and mist. After a long while, Elder Peng smiled and said: "Why are you all looking so sad? If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. Yuchen is on the ground in Jiangnan. We, the loyal beggar gang, are we afraid that he will go to the sky?" The elder of the Dirty Clothes Sect said distressedly: "It's not that I'm afraid of him. It's just that seven elders were dispatched to deal with him alone this time, and it made such a fuss. Dozens of brothers in the gang also died. It's very embarrassing if word spreads." " Elder Peng said angrily: "Who wants to spread the word! Should this kind of thing be spread out? He is an official, and we are the people. If this matter is spread, no one will protect us We didn't expect it this time. As for Yuchen, this kid is really good at it, and he can work hard. But now that things have come to this point, we must fully utilize the strength he has in hand! There is no way to establish an envoy to the capital of the Song Dynasty. "The elder of the dirty clothes sect was still a little unconvinced, and muttered: "Anyway, we are in trouble at Jinghu Tangkou this time, so what if Quan Guanqing comes back from the north. How tough is Yuchen's hand? He came back from the north and turns out to be from the Northern Beggar Clan. I can't believe him." Elder Peng was about to reply when he heard a member of the Beggar Clan report: "Hall Master Lu is here." Elder Peng was startled. Lu You's foot was seriously injured. Why did he rush from Ezhou to Huangzhou? There are five main halls in the Southern Beggar Clan, namely Jinghu, Lianghuai, Liangchuan, Lin'an, and Guangxi. At the entrance of each hall, there are two hall masters, one in clean clothes and one in dirty clothes. They regulate everything in their own areas and have great power. They also have the title of deacon in the main hall. There are eight deacons and elders under each hall, with more than ten thousand disciples. The Zhongyi Beggar Clan also has deep connections with the garrisons in various places. In the Jiangnan martial arts world, these hall masters are all powerful men who shake the ground whenever they stamp their feet. At the entrance of Jinghu Hall, the two hall masters are Elder Peng and Lu Youjiao. Seeing Delu Youjiao being helped in by several people, Elder Peng rushed to greet him. He smiled and said, "Lao Lu, why are you here? The weather is cold and you are not in good health. Isn't it hard on yourself to rush here like this?" Lu Youjiao didn't listen to his greetings with a straight face, but frowned at the people below. Personal words: "I'm not here for a while, you just start making trouble? Yuchen is a figure in the official family of the Song Dynasty. Even if he has some connection with Xiao Feng, let's talk about it. Listen to his words and watch his actions before making plans. Who told you to do this? Are you in a hurry?" He sat down, ignoring Elder Peng's ugly face, and said to himself: "If the old gang leader Hong knows about these things, what will he do to you? The old gang leader said that although we serve the imperial court, Don't get too involved with the official family. It's enough to do our duty. From now on, no one is allowed to touch Yuchen. We will wait until there is news from the main hall." He glanced at the pale Quan. Guanqing snorted: "Let all brothers be detained first and wait for the main hall's decision." A few deacons and elders of the dirty clothes sect who had been humiliated by the training agreed and stepped forward to hold Quan Guanqing's hands. Quan Guanqing looked at Lu Youjiao, then at Elder Peng, whose face was ashen, and looked up to the sky with a long sigh. He walked with them obediently. Elder Peng didn¡¯t say anything. Even though Lu Youjiao humiliated him in public, he couldn¡¯t say anything. Lu Youjiao was the old gang leader's confidant, and he had always acted as a leader in Jinghu Hall. His mind was just racing, thinking about his next move. He was originally a descendant of a martial arts family. He brought a large portion of his family fortune to the Beggar Clan. He also took a fancy to the good relationship between the Zhongyi Beggar Clan and the Southern Song Dynasty army. He actually had very ambitious plans in his heart. He looked at the elders of the Jingyi Gang who couldn't even lift their heads. He still smiled at Lu Youjia and said: "Old Lu, you have a very bad temper. I still have to argue with the old gang leader about all the brothers. This will make the hearts of our brothers cold" Lu You His feet snorted, he was from the south for generations. The ancestor of the family was killed miserably when King Hailing of Jin Dynasty went south. Deep-rooted prejudice against northerners. Xiao Feng's incident only increased his understanding. He didn't pay any attention to Elder Peng's words. She nodded slightly to him and asked someone to help him down to rest. Several elders of the Dirty Clothes Sect proudly surrounded Lu You and left, leaving only a few elders of the Pure Clothes Sect standing there, their faces turning blue and white. They are all full of resentment. Elder Peng was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Why are you all acting like a dead mother? Go down and rest quickly, this matter is not over yet." People in the world are actually tools in the hands of these official figures. One day These tools are not that easy to control.?, naturally it¡¯s time to change, but it¡¯s a pity that these people still don¡¯t understand this truth. What would it be like if there was an opportunity for tools to become one of them? "This tiger skin from the Zhongyi Beggar Clan is just something that I, Mr. Peng, have temporarily borrowed for shelter. What I really want seems to be right in front of my hand. The warship stirred up white waves on the Yangtze River channel, and gulls circled above the ship at several o'clock. The strong north wind made the boat awning rustle. I stood at the bow of the boat with my hands in my sleeves. I squinted my eyes and didn't know what I was thinking. When we came back from Huangzhou, we boarded the warship Meng Gong prepared for us and sailed all the way downstream. Looking at the currents and winds, it only takes five or six days to get to Jiankang. But being so free all of a sudden made me feel uncomfortable. I wonder what happened to my soldiers in Dengzhou? Is Qingfeng still so unhappy? On the ship, I also saw the official reports of the past few days. It was clear that the Mongolian envoys were in Lin'an to discuss the alliance. It seems that in April this year, the Song Dynasty's Jinghu army went north to attack Jin, which was indeed an inevitable historical trend. It is really unknown where this small piece of land of mine will slide in the mighty current of history. When boarding the ship in Ezhou, both Shi Songzhi and Meng Gong showed great respect and went to the dock to see him off. Everyone was polite, but the conversation didn't go too deep. Shi Songzhi's half-smiling expression made my boss depressed. It was Meng Gong who said a few heart-to-heart words to me. "Now that the two Marshals Zhao are in Lin'an, you don't need to go to Lianghuai. With your trip to Jinghu, the two Marshals Zhao must have some ideas in their minds, but as long as you establish yourself, there is nothing to be afraid of. Come to Jinghu There will be a big event in the future, and there is still time to borrow more money from you You encountered a thief on the way, Shi Shuai has paid attention to this matter, and will definitely give you an explanation. " Duan Yu is still bored in the cabin, and his injuries are serious. It gets better quickly. But he used to be an easy-going and talkative person. These days, I am always alone in my thoughts, and I don¡¯t know what I am thinking about. It was rare to say a word all day long. I don't know what happened to him. There was still a cold relationship between Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan. Wang Yuyan was not as obsessed with him as before, and she just looked at Jiang Tao every day. Murong Fu was busy doing his work all day long, sending the craftsmen we recruited back to Dengzhou in batches, and giving instructions to deal with the official documents sent by Dengzhou. No more, I was happy to leave these things to him. Because I always feel that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is much more treacherous than I imagined. I always deeply feel that the strength in my hands is far from enough, and I only worry about this. Meng Gong sent a lieutenant officer accompanying us to come to me respectfully: "General, we will disembark in Jiangzhou tonight. The officials in Jiangzhou have already received the order from the commander-in-chief, and they want to accept it with the general. "I was very polite to him: "Ha, I am a small official, how can I be welcomed by so many adults? The commander is too polite. This makes me feel embarrassed. He was very good at talking and said with a smile: "What everyone respects is not the general's official position, but respect for the general who started his own business in the north to kill golden dogs and fight against the Tatars. This spits out the bad breath in the hearts of us people in the Song Dynasty. Besides, the general is gone, In the future, building a career and becoming a successful person is only a matter of time. Accepting it now is also a way to make progress in the future" I smiled and looked at him: "Thank you for your noble words. Since you are so important to Sha Jin Dog, the Tatars are so interested. Why don't you join me as a lieutenant general? I'll ask your general to transfer you over." After seeing him, he bowed and said: "General Meng sent me to follow you, that's what you mean. I can't ask for anything more. From now on, I will obey your orders, General. I will follow you wherever you go." Oh? Are you going to put eyes and ears next to me? It's too blatant. This journey turned out to be smooth sailing, and nothing happened along the way. It's nothing more than official entertainment. Seeing that the ship would arrive in Jiankang that day, I actually felt a little shy about being close to home. Half a year ago, I was still a young boy who had just fledged. When I came back, I was already a senior member of an army commanding 7,000 people. Things in this world are indeed very difficult to explain. Yu Zhong was waiting to greet us at the pier. He Kang, the newly minted officer of the new Guiyi Army, did a great job as expected. The message was sent to Chun Qitang's mansion early. I stepped off the springboard and it felt like a lifetime ago. Yu Zhong just looked at me steadily. It seemed that if it weren't for the difference between up and down, he would not be sure if he would rush over and hug me. His face was full of laughter: "Master, you have become much thinner and darker. You have been working hard these days. When you come back this time, why don't you leave?" I smiled and talked to the old housekeeper. He greeted everyone while greeting everyone to get off the boat. Yu Zhong directed his servants to take the??Li, while chatting to me: "The master is in Lin'an now, and it is rare to come back. The wife and madam knew that the master was back, and also heard that the master had become an official. They were very happy. Everyone in the house I'm waiting for the young master to come back How come last time, out of the two young ladies, only Mrs. Sun came back? However, it seems that there are a few more people serving the young master. Madam must be happy for the young master when she sees it ¡± Among the girls, Sun Keyi was familiar with them and looked at ease. When Mu Wanqing thought about going to visit her sweetheart's elder, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she was filled with uneasiness. Zhou Zhiruo's identity is still very embarrassing, and I have not made any commitment to her. It is the first time that I have arrived in this large and spacious house, and I can only stare at my toes and listen to other people's arrangements. When I met my grandma and mother, I was really happy. After holding my hand and asking questions for a whole day, I picked out the things that happened in the north and talked about them that were not too sinister. This made them very worried. Judging from their posture, it seemed that they were not planning to let me go back to the north. I had no choice but to call Sun Keyi and Mu Wanqing to divert their attention. Now the target turned to the two girls. Seeing that Sun Keyi was already dressed like a young lady, they all blamed me for not giving them a status now. . It really made my head spin. I held another family dinner in the evening, this time it was different from the shabby family dinner in Laohuzhai. The house was filled with delicacies and the aroma of wine overflowed. All the people passing by were servants. But when those maids looked at Mu Wanqing, Sun Keyi, and Zhou Zhiruo sitting next to me, it didn't matter to me whether their eyes were flashing with jealousy or jealousy. "Come on, come on, let's raise a glass! In the past six months, you have followed me, Yuchen, and tasted so much, but there is no benefit. I am sorry for you! Now that I can finally breathe, I will lend you this glass of thin wine to thank you all! Before The road is going to be difficult, so I hope everyone will work together with me to do it!" Everyone agreed, even Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan, who had always looked gloomy, raised their glasses in agreement. The two little guys, Yang Guo and Wan Yanping, screamed even louder. Murong Fu also raised his wine glass with a smile on his face. He did not know how many somersaults he had made in his heart. He had read a letter that Shi Songzhi had written to him alone before boarding the ship. He had read it upside down and read it countless times. Seeing the young general high-spirited there, he sneered slightly in his heart: "Are we working together? We'll see in the future." Dengzhou Henan Returned Rebel Army Military and Legal Department. Shen Qingfeng was sitting at his desk, holding a stack of documents and frowning while reviewing them. Since Yuchen left, the operation of the entire Guiyi Army has gradually become somewhat dysfunctional. Zhuang Jin is far away in Xuzhou, so there is no need to mention him. Murong Fu's Fourth Army is now almost headed by Zhang Yao, who can come and go freely between Xu and Deng, and is very disobedient. Yu Lang and Minghui each led an army, and neither of them could control the other on the ground in Dengzhou. If Yuchen hadn't left the strongest cavalry army and the main force of his own troops under the command of Shen Qingfeng. With her in the middle to fill the gap, the Guiyi Army was about to become a mess. A military judge wearing black armor walked in cautiously: "General Shen, Yu Lang has returned from Tangzhou's grass-hunting valley with seventy or eighty people. This time he acted on his own without receiving orders. How are you going to punish the general?" Shen Qingfeng added It was because she was upset because she was a daughter and had not received a formal official position in the court. But he was among the senior officers of the Guiyi Army. Although Yuchen said when she left that Dengzhou's major and minor matters would be implemented after discussion by the three of them, the other two people didn't take her seriously at all. Minghui was busy integrating the forces in Queshan, and his troops were gradually advancing towards Wancheng. And Yu Lang harassed Tangzhou every day. She was the only one left struggling to maintain the situation in Dengzhou. She had arranged the food and military supplies that had been transferred to Dengzhou in the past few days, as well as the supplies for craftsmen. Except for the funds allocated to the Da Sima Mansion as planned, they were all collected carefully. He also arranged for craftsmen to set up arsenals, repair city walls, appease the refugees, and provide relief for the spring famine. The most basic things about Gui Yijun fell on her, and many people said behind her back that she was eager to seize power. Who can know the pain in her heart? But Yu Lang cannot ignore this matter. If he is really as lawless as he is, it will be a matter of time before the Guiyi Army disbands. No matter what, this is her husband-in-law's inheritance. And her husband is everything to her. When Shen Qingfeng arrived at the Second Army's station in the west of the city, she saw Yu Lang standing in the middle of the camp with his arms open, talking and laughing loudly. Dozens of soldiers in cavalry uniforms surrounded him, and their faces were full of pride. look. There were piles of food and clothing on the ground, as well as a dozen bloody heads. Yu Lang's laughing and scolding voice spread far away: "Damn it, you're not lucky this time. Wuxian's small group of soldiers were plundering things and heading towards Tangzhou, but we intercepted them halfway. Just as they were having a good time, they came again. Two to three hundred people reinforced them. Seeing that there was no way out, I, Lao Yu, refused to fight with these bastards, so I turned around and left, bringing back a dozen heads, seven or eight.A good horse, and what little it can carry. " Seeing Shen Qingfeng leading a small group of cavalry into his camp, Yu Lang smiled and said: "Judge Shen Jun, are you bringing the brothers from the Merit Reward Department to record my merits? There's no luck this time, so just give it a damn. " Shen Qingfeng's beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "General Yu, do you think I'm here to remember your merits? Before the general leaves, he wants us to guard our territory, not to provoke enemies everywhere, but to tidy up our internal affairs. Look at what you, General Ming, and Zhang Yao did? I came here this time to see what General Yu had to say to our Military Law Department. " Yu Lang had an arrogant look on his face. He had never taken Shen Qingfeng seriously. After Yuchen left, he went wherever he wanted. Gui Yijun seemed to be his boss. He frowned: " Explain? Tell me what the hell! If that young general Yuchen is here, it would be okay for me to explain to him. Why do you ask me for an explanation? If you stay here, you will only get a beating! If I take my brothers out in turns to harass and fight, isn't that just training and reorganizing the troops? I have nothing to say to you. You are a little woman and you don¡¯t understand war. " His officers and soldiers also seemed to feel the same way. They laughed and cursed and wanted to leave. Shen Qingfeng said coldly: "Wait a minute, General Yu, do you mean that the Military Law Department can't control you? " Yu Lang laughed loudly: "If I* are robbed, you don't need to come to the door. I will naturally report to the Military Law Department. Of course, you can't control this matter now. " He waved his hand and walked swaggering towards where he lived. Shen Qingfeng looked pale behind him, but didn't know what to say. A military judge next to him took a step forward and shouted to Yu Lang: "General Yu, you can't be like this. Speaking, General Shen, even if she is not a military judge, is still our mistress. What is your attitude? " Yu Lang laughed without looking back: "If every matron comes out to point fingers, then the Guiyi Army might as well disband early Brothers, take a rest early. Let's go to Tangzhou to harvest grass tomorrow! " Shen Qingfeng stood expressionless in the field for a long time. Looking at all this, a deep sense of powerlessness came to her heart. She stamped her feet and was about to turn around and leave. A fast horse rushed over again, Judging from the uniforms and markings on this cavalry, they are the soldiers of Minghui's Ace 8th Command. In these days, Minghui has already expanded his beloved Ace 8th Infantry Command into four infantry teams. The absolute main force of the two cavalry teams. In Shen Qingfeng's view, this private reorganization was another major crime that violated military law. The cavalryman rushed to Shen Qingfeng and dismounted, kneeling on the ground and handed over a military report: "General Shen, the Ming Dynasty's army has already approached the surrounding areas of Wancheng. Due to sending out relief, recruiting exiles, and preparing to attack Wancheng, the food and military supplies are quite insufficient. Please ask General Shen to replenish it. " General Shen Qingfeng took the report: "You, General Ming, made your own decisions and went to attack Wancheng, which is already a violation of military orders. Moreover, the more than 2,000 stones of grain reserves in Huzui Village are in the hands of Ming Tongzhi. How come you are asking for help from me? If you want to supplement, you have to go through Da Sima's Mansion. What's the use of looking for me? "The cavalryman replied: "General Ming said that he had gone to Da Sima's Mansion and found that there was no food for the war. The food in Huzui Village was used up in the attack on Dengzhou and the relief of the people in Dengzhou. La. General Ming knew that General Shen had food transferred from the south, and said" Shen Qingfeng said coldly: "What else are you talking about? " The cavalryman did not dare to raise his head and said in a low voice: "Ming Tongzhi said that these grains belong to the rebel army. Please don't hold them in your hands, General Shen, otherwise it will make trouble for everyone. " This made Shen Qingfeng dizzy with anger. She worked hard to maintain it here. But the result was this situation? She let go, threw the military report in front of the cavalry, and staggered towards her horse Go. This situation is definitely not something our daughter¡¯s family can sustain
