Chapter 118: Song Wuge

Near the end of the year, it is the most leisurely time for the people. Although it is full of swords and smoke on both sides of the Yangtze River, Lin'an, which is in the rear, is full of celebration.

Xiao Yan attacked Jiankang, fought back the Jin people, successfully defended the forefront of the Song Dynasty, and was awarded the title of prince and gave him the golden sword to protect the country. Yue Fei led his troops to successfully recover the six counties of Xiangyang and forced the pseudo-Qi Liuyu regime supported by Jin. Although Jingzhaofu was still in Liu Yu's hands, the Wu brothers stationed in Sichuan repeatedly repelled the coalition forces of Liu Yu and Jin, so that Liu Yu's regime did not dare to act rashly. It can be said that the Song Dynasty, curled up in the southeast, should be the safest time.

The Jin people are good at fighting immediately. Even if the Jin people plan to go directly south from the sea, one must consider the resistance of Han Shizhong stationed in Pingjiang, and the encirclement of Xiao Yan stationed in Jiankang Zhenjiang. These things can be seen by the people, so after years of aggression by Jin, they have been worried for several years. After the brave days, you can finally have a stable year.

The celebration of the upcoming New Year is overflowing on everyone's faces, but this morning, another earth-shaking event for the people came out of the palace. Xiao Yan, who had just been sealed by the Marquis of Jin, accepted the challenge of Wanyan, the eldest son of the left army supervisor, to do it tomorrow morning in the north of the city. The school competition.

This is undoubtedly the biggest thing in Lin'an City now. There is only one topic in the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses, that is Xiao Yan.

Zhenbeihou Mansion! Many civil and military officials came straight here without returning home. Of course, not all of them came here for the purpose of concern.

"Hight." The Houfu Guard led by Gao Zhan found a sneaky yearning for the backyard among many strangers in the house.

"A thin-faced man turned around and said with a smile, "This little brother, is he calling me?"

"Gao Zhan looked at it and couldn't see anything from his face. Seeing him wearing four-grade civilian clothes, he can't be too rude." Holding his fists, Zhan Yan said, "I dare to ask what the adult is called and where he works."

"Oh, this little brother is the guard leader of Marquis Xiao. He is indeed a young talent." Without answering, a flattery slapped over.

"I'm flattered." Gao Zhan arched his hand, but still stared at him.

"The subordinate is Zhu Bao, the head of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and I am here to visit the marquis." Seeing that it couldn't be delayed, Zhu Bao said.

"Oh, Lord Zhu, all the guests are waiting for tea in the front hall. This is the backyard. Lord Zhu, please." Gao Zhan didn't think much when he heard that he was the head of the Ministry of Ceremonies. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the front yard.

"Okay, Zhu took the liberty." He arched his hand and went out.

After Zhu Bao went out, Gao Zhan looked at his back and moved his mind and asked one person to say something in a low voice. The man immediately pulled one person and ran out in a hurry.

"You stare at all the strange faces in the house and don't act rashly." Gao Zhan remembered Xiao Yan's words before he went out. There was a strange expression on his face.

"Linmei, look this way." Xiao Yan changed his clothes and immediately pulled Yue Lin out. Along the way, the two walked around and ate. The long royal street was about to end, and their stomachs were almost full.

Xiao Yan knew that when he and Wanyan's words in the martial arts competition would definitely cause an uproar. From the imperial court to the people, he would definitely become the focus of attention again. He simply went out of the house to take Yue Lin shopping without seeing or being upset.

And Yue Lin has absolute confidence in Xiao Yan. She didn't even ask questions along the way, and Xiao Yan didn't say anything. The two of them were really happy all the way.

At this time, the night was still long and the days were short. Just as the two walked to the North Gate, the sky was gradually dark, and the sound of the key under the gate was heard.

"Linmei, how about our night trip to the West Lake?" Xiao Yan had a whim.

Now the weather in recent years, although the weather in Jiangnan is warmer than in the north, it is indeed not a good day to visit the West Lake. However, Xiao Yan and Yue Lin insisted on going. They followed Xiao Yan's wolf teeth and always followed them. Seeing that Xiao Yan was about to leave the city at this time, they couldn't help looking at each other.

Coincidentally, it was Xiao Yan who guarded the gate tonight. Later, he learned from Ma Rouji that this man's surname was Brother Song, and he was called Song Wuge because he ranked fifth.

Later, due to life, he entered Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts when he was a child and was a disciple of Shaolin. After becoming an adult, he returned to his hometown to marry a woman from the same village. Not long after the marriage, Jin Song started the war. The five brothers of the Song family joined the army, leaving only his wife and young brother at home. Later, they retreated to the south of the Yangtze River with the army, and then fell in the north, and the pseudo-Qi regime supported by the Jin people was established.

Song Wuge was left as the head of the Jin army because of his righteous and good skills. In this Miao Fu rebellion, Song Wuge was implicated and demoted to the North Gate to be a nominal gate leader.

"Brother Song." Xiao Yan looked at Song Wuge, who was lowering the key and shouted.

Brother Song saw that several people came from afar and thought that the people who came out to play didn't care, so he closed the door with everyone since ancient times, but there was only a clear voice behind him, and he also shouted his name. Looking back, more than a dozen people were coming this way, all with strange faces.

"Fifth brother, you have a poor memory!" Seeing someone smile and saying another sentence, Song Wuge is still inexplicable.

stationed at the gate, people come and go every day. There are not many people I know, but there are many people who know me. There are also people who say hello but don't know me. I don't care when I see this, and I think they dare to go out of the city.

said, "Hurry up, it will be early tomorrow after the key is set." Seeing that Xiao Yan and others were empty-handed and not in wartime, the difference was not so severe, he urged.

"It's so annoying for the fifth brother." Xiao Yan went to Brother Song and saw that he had not recognized himself, but he just asked someone to open the door.

Xiao Yan stopped at the doorway and looked at Fifth Brother Song with a smile. When Fifth Brother Song saw that these people did not go out after opening the door, he was surprised and looked up at Xiao Yan standing beside him.

"How..." Originally, Song Wu wanted to say why he didn't go out of the city quickly, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly saw a familiar face, and then his heart moved to recognize Xiao Yan.

"Brothers! The marquis is here. Song Wuge said hello.

As soon as the words came out, the sergeant defending the city was stunned. Song Wuge saw that everyone looked at him puzzledly and explained, "General Xiao, who was stationed in Jiankang's garrison, is Marquis Xiao Yanxiao, who has just been crowned as Marquis."

Now they understood and looked at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had broken through the customs before that these people were stationed at the gate. When Song Wuge said this, everyone saw that it was really Xiao Yan and bowed their hands and saluted one after another, "Hir."

Xiao Yan saw that everyone recognized it and smiled, "We are old acquaintances, so you're welcome."

Xiao Yan is now famous in Beijing. Let alone his reputation in Jiankang, that is, after coming to Lin'an, from leading a horse to break through the customs, to beating Qin Huang, degrading Qin Hui, sealing the marquis, giving a golden sword, to challenging the first warrior of the State of Jin this morning, which one is enough to be proud for a lifetime.

Now I can't help but be very excited to see this idol figure standing in front of me with a smile and talking like a family story. In particular, Brother Song was at a loss and didn't know what to do. "Sir... Subordinates... I don't know Mount Tai, marquis..."

Brother Song claimed to be a subordinate. He thought that he was not an official, let alone his subordinates. He said that I seemed disrespectful and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Although Xiao Yan is a marquis, it can be compared with the reputation of all the brothers on the battlefield."

There are only dozens of guards guarding the city at the whole north gate, and each class has ten gate leaders. Xiao Yan said it casually, but it's really true that Song Wuge's class is all the same as him. They were originally forbidden guards and were also demoted for their crimes. When I was in the north, I really earned a reputation with a knife and a shot.

Hearing Song Wuge's words, Xiao Yan looked carefully at the people opposite him and nodded. People who did not roll over from the dead on the battlefield would not have such momentum.

When his mind moved, Xiao Yan lost his interest in visiting the West Lake at night and became interested in the people brought by Fifth Brother Song. So he whispered a few words to Yue Lin. Seeing Yue Lin nod, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Fifth Brother Song and others and others and said, "Fifth brother, Xiao Yan's most respected man in his life is a man like you. I don't know if he is your brother. How many people are there in this situation, brother?

"This." Song Wuge didn't expect Xiao Yan to ask such a question and hesitated.

"Told the marquis." Standing behind Song's fifth brother, a man said, "There are only 100 people left who have come from the north to join the forbidden army in Lin'an now!"

with a sigh, "After the chaos, there was no one left, and they were all demoted to the van army to guard the door."

"Hmm!" Xiao Yan nodded secretly and thought for a moment and said, "Meeting the brothers is Xiao Yan's blessing. He should have been drunk with his brothers, but the brothers know that tomorrow Xiao Yan will teach the golden dog... Xiao Yan will make an appointment with you. After teaching the golden dog a lesson, Xiao Yan will definitely invite the brothers to drink and talk."

These people have known about the competition with Wanyan in tomorrow's Beijing campus, but because of their identity, they have never asked. Now they are very excited to see Xiao Yan telling each other and inviting each other.

At the beginning, there was also a kind of restraint of subordinates when they saw their superiors. Xiao Yan smiled like a few words, which suddenly narrowed the distance between them. Hearing Xiao Yan say this, he said in unison, "Congratulations the marquis on winning the flag. At that time, we will drink with the marquis and won't get drunk."

Kill a man and have a rough nature. As long as you are honest with him, you won't wink your eyebrows. Xiao Yan originally wanted Song Wuge to call the rest of the people together, but on second thought, this movement is too big and easy to cause some unnecessary trouble. Let's talk about it slowly in the future.

took the words to his mouth and swallowed them again, and his face changed. He stretched out his hand and said, "Tomorrow evening, Xiao Yan will wait for the wine. See you soon."

"The marquis is powerful."
