Two familiar feelings instantly surged into Han Qing's heart.
The first one comes from his father who died of illness many years ago in the 21st century. In order for him to get a decent job in the city after he changed his job, he spent half his life's savings from working. In the end, he didn't wait until he could achieve financial success.
On the day of freedom, let's go west.
The second type comes from his grandfather. When he was a boy, whenever he and Yang Xu caused big troubles outside and did not dare to go home, it was his grandfather Han Chonggui who came out to look for him in person, in front of a group of officials and servants.
He made all kinds of threats to him, and closed the door after returning home, but often nothing happened.
"Grandnephew Yang Xu, meet Uncle Han!" Before Han Qing could think of how to respond, Yang Xu had already started to distract him from his anger as he did when he was a child, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still like the legendary Zhang Cheqi.
Strong! The voice he used just now is no less impressive than when he fought back a hundred thousand Cao soldiers at Dangyang Bridge." (Note: Zhang Cheqi is Zhang Fei.)
"If you think I have a loud voice, just say it straight away and don't beat around the bush here!" Han Chonggui was indeed fooled. He glared and lowered his voice and scolded.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw clearly that the one who was saluting him was the direct grandson of Yang Si, who was in charge of the rear array of Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyangguan, and the governor of the Ding border army. He was slightly startled again, "Ji Ming? You
Aren't you guarding the city with Yang Dujian in Zhending? How come you got together with the little brat again?"
"It's a long story!" Yang Xu waved his hand and skillfully continued to distract Han Chonggui, "Wait a while, grandnephew Rong will report to you slowly. Anyway, if Jiajun hadn't arrived in time this time, I would have done it for him.
The blood of the Song Dynasty was spilled on the battlefield."
"Did he go to Hebei to pick you up?" Han Chonggui had been deceived countless times by Yang Xu using the same method before, and he instinctively refused to believe it. However, he suddenly saw blood stains on Yang Xu's raised armpits.
Banban immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Are you injured? Who hurt you? How is Zhending City doing now? Where is your grandfather? Is he okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, uncle. At present, my grandfather is still leading the soldiers to garrison Zhending and try to defeat Yelu Longxu. However, reinforcements have not been seen for a long time, and the supply of food, grass and baggage in the city is almost at its bottom." Yang Xu glanced at his armpit.
, responded with a wry smile, "I was ordered by my grandfather to break out of the siege and ask for help from the officials. As a result, I was chased and intercepted by the Liao soldiers and suffered two arrow wounds. Jiajun has already taken care of it for me. It should be okay."
!”
"Hurry up and get on the boat. I have a doctor on board. His two moves may not be reliable!" Han Chonggui was confused by his concern. He shook his head and urged. "Someone, go and pick up Young Master Yang to cross the boat."
"No, no, I can still climb the cable myself!" Yang Xu heard this and knew that he had already succeeded more than half of the way. He smiled and waved his hand gently, "You old man, just send someone over to pick up the distinguished guests and prisoners. Jiajun is here
This time, not only did he pick me up, he also picked up Yelu Longxu’s son-in-law Liu Sanxia. On the way back, his favorite general Zhang Shouzhong also captured Cai Zhongcheng, the pseudo-Cangzhou Jiedu envoy sent by the Liao Kingdom."
"Yelu Longxu's son-in-law? How did you capture him?" Han Chonggui asked in a low voice with a frown as he was far away in Dengzhou and had not yet heard about Liu Sanxia's murder of his love rival.
"It was Ye Nuxia who escorted him all the way from Youzhou. This person decided to abandon the Liao Dynasty and join the Song Dynasty. He was also chased and intercepted by the Liao soldiers. Fortunately, he met Jiajun and escaped death. Uncle, you have to help me run this. Don't let us Song Dynasty fail him again!" Yang Xu's articulation was as good as his skill. In just a few words, he clearly explained Liu Sanxia's origins, and by the way, he also raised his own concerns.
It's not that he is talkative. There is a precedent for the Song Dynasty to let down the Liao officials who took the initiative to defect.
Usually, when the Liao Kingdom issued a threat of war, someone in the Song Dynasty would propose to sacrifice those who came to defect to avoid war.
As a result, those defectors came full of hope, and were eventually escorted to the border by the Song Dynasty court and handed over to the Liao army. Immediately, they died one by one without a burial place.
"I'm afraid I'm not able to handle this matter." After hearing this, Han Chonggui no longer bothered to teach his grandson a lesson. He frowned and muttered in a low voice, "However, recently Kou Zhun has been ordered to assist the government, and Li Jihe has also After I return to Bianliang, I can write a letter and make a strong statement to the two of them."
Having said that, he immediately handed over his soldiers, lowered the ladder from the flagship, and took Dou Rong, Ye Qinglian, Yang Xu, Han Qing, Liu Sanxia and others across the ship in turn. Then he ordered his soldiers to prepare two of the best cabins separately. , for Yang Xu and Ye Qinglian to rest separately.
Liu Sanxia was frightened half to death by the Liao fleet before, and his legs are still weak and unable to lift his strength. Thanks to the cleverness of the soldiers sent by Han Chonggui, one person pulled him in front and the other pushed him in the back. Moved to the flagship.
As soon as he set foot on the deck of the flagship, he found that all around him were warships from the Song Dynasty. This man immediately regained his appearance as a young man from an aristocratic family. He stepped back half a step, bowed his head to Han Chonggui and said, "Junior Liu Sanxia, a down-and-out scholar, thanks the old general for protecting me. If I can survive this time, I will do my best to repay you, Han Tixing, and Ye Nuxia for their great kindness!"
"Well, you go and have a rest. At least you don't have to worry about your life on my ship." Han Chonggui glanced at the man coldly and ordered in a deep voice. "Come here, do something with his hair." Change into clean robes. The grown man has three braids and his forehead is shaved, which is really irritating to the eyes." (Note: Liao people dress up, shave their heads, and leave three thin braids on the back of their heads.)
The latter sentence was an instruction to the soldiers. Immediately, someone stepped forward and helped Liu Sanxia change into Song Dynasty robes and hairstyle.
Liu Sanxia felt her hot face touch her cold buttocks, feeling very depressed. However, she knew what situation she was in. She secretly sighed in her heart and resigned herself to the fate of the soldiers who manipulated her at will.
It wasn't until Liu Sanxia's figure entered the hatch that the old general finally had time to pay attention to his grandson. He pretended to frown and glared at the latter.
Han Qing suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. At the same time, he also knew that the most difficult point to deal with had passed. He decisively stepped forward and saluted the old general, "Grandpa, your unfilial grandson has made you worry."
"Grandpa, my granddaughter-in-law is unfilial, allowing you to risk going to sea at such an old age." Dou Rong was worried that Han Qing would really be punished, so she quickly followed her and knelt down to salute.
Han Chonggui couldn't care less about Han Qing's face in front of his grandson's daughter-in-law and another woman who might become his grandson's daughter-in-law. He gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh in a low voice, "Oh - well, I will be satisfied if you can come back safely. Don't take such risks in the future. I can't. I will always get the news in time."
"It's windy on the deck, be careful of catching a cold." Yang Xu stepped forward with a look and held Han Chonggui's arm. "Anyway, the Liao warships have been driven away, so I'll leave the rest to Jiajun. Do."
Lest the old general still wanted to deal with Han Qing, he lowered his voice and quickly added, "That Liu Sanxia is highly regarded by Yelu Longxu and knows many secrets in the Liao Kingdom. If he uses it well, he can defeat the fifty thousand army. He The reason for defecting to the Song Dynasty is extremely bizarre. When we enter the cabin, my grandnephew will tell you slowly."
"No need, I have someone under my command who can finish the work. Let's go in together. There are still people in the cabin, waiting to deliver orders to Jiajun!" Han Chonggui glanced at him, sighed and shook his head.
"Pass the message? Is it possible that Jiajun is about to be promoted again? Congratulations to you, junior, for teaching your grandson well." Yang Xu reacted very quickly and immediately let go of Han Chonggui's arm, smiling and congratulating him.
"Whether it's a blessing or a curse, who can predict." Han Chonggui smiled again, with a hint of worry clearly on his face. Then he quickly turned his head and scolded Han Qing, "You haven't brought your wife and Ye Nuxia with you yet. Let’s go into the cabin and rest together. Wang Shu was ordered to come to convey the order to you, but he couldn’t find you anywhere. In desperation, he ran to Dengzhou.”
Immediately afterwards, his voice dropped rapidly again, "You should consider your own abilities. If you are not qualified for the position, you should quickly decline the official position. The judge of the South Court of Kaifeng Mansion, even if he is a first-class Jinshi, must have experience. It has taken many years to make a stable job. When will it be your turn as an imperial student in your early twenties to come and have a vegetarian meal?" (Note: In the Northern Song Dynasty, Jinshi was divided into different grades, not one.)
