Chapter 306 The End of the Song

Late at night, a fire broke out in the Penglai Hall of Luoyang Palace in the imperial city.

illuminated the darkest and most critical night of the Song Dynasty.

The people of Luoyang are all eye-catching and frightened. Not long ago, the king of Luoyang just passed away, and now there is a palace fire. Is there any connection between the two? In addition, there seems to be a fight on the side of the Yellow River Jiyuan, and countless refugees are pouring into the customs.

It is said that hysterical shouts and deafening roars can be heard there all night.

It is said that too many boats and corpses sank into the Yellow River, dyeing the river red and blocking the river.

Over the ancient capital of Luoyang, the wind and clouds are surging, shocking the world.

......

Chu Tianya stood in front of the Penglai Hall and looked at this ancient temple built in the Wuzhou Dynasty. In a blazing fire, it slowly turned into ashes.

The fire burned all night. Chu Tianya stood here all night.

He stared at the fire in front of him, silent and motionless. No expression, just the expression on his face.

It's almost dawn.

A team of people came to Chu Tianya. The leader is Meng De.

"Lord, General Meng is here." The rosefinch whispered in Chu Tianya's ear.

Chu Tianya turned around for the first time tonight and strode towards Meng De.

Meng De took a deep breath and strode towards Chu Tianya.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Meng De waved his hand and motioned everyone to retreat.

Rosefinch and other green guards, tiger guards and others quietly retreated far away. Zhao Huan, an official, walked tremblingly among the Qingwei, and his eyes only dared to look at his toes.

"Seventh Brother..." Chu Tianya almost hugged Meng De with all his strength. "Fortunately, you're fine."

"Good brother, Meng Qi can't get your order. How dare he die?" Meng De hugged Chu Tianya tightly and said in his ear, "At first, when the nobleman came to me, I didn't believe it. I don't believe it anyway. Bai Xun is such a person... If it hadn't been for the nobleman's insisting on me to prepare first. Meng Qi is indeed a corpse now.

"Why is it like this..."

Chu Tianya closed his eyes. At this time, I felt that my eyes were astringent and sore.

A pain from the heart to the eyes.

"Power, wealth, status, women, ideals, retribution, ambition, humiliation, and glory..." Meng De sighed softly in Chu Tianya's ear, "In this life, men are destined to escape the shackles and left and right of these things from birth. Bai Shu... He is smarter than all of us. Maybe it's because he's so smart that..."

At this moment, Chu Tianya really wants to lie on Meng De's shoulder, his brother, and cry fiercely.

It is not only because of Baixu, but also because of the suffering and sadness that others can't understand and can only be deeply buried in his heart.

"Seventh brother, I cut off one of my arms today." Chu Tianya said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to lose another one... You can't leave me again!"

He shed two lines of tears and quietly slipped onto Meng De's armor.

"Good brother... If you want to cry, cry happily; if you want to get drunk, Meng Qi will accompany you." Meng De whispered, "I've been drunk and cried. You have to put on armor and get on the war horse. Take your tiger and wolf division to Jiyuan to supervise the battle in person... I know you are very tired and want to rest. But this is your fate, and you can't escape it.

Chu Tianya took a deep breath, and once again, he took a deep breath.

He let go of Meng De and still faced the fire in front of him.

"Seventh Brother, do you know what Bai Shu said before he died?"

Meng De shook his head.

Chu Tianya also shook his head, "He said that his bloodline and soul are extremely noble. He can't die at the hands of any despicable person. His bones and blood must be with the foundation of the royal family.

"So, you let Penglai Hall assimilate with him into ashes?"

Chu Tianya nodded, "I know this is a historic site of the previous dynasty, a valuable palace. But I really can't refuse such a request. Although he deserves to die, he deliberately wants to take my life, kill my brother, and harm my whole family; but... I really can't hate him at all.

"Me too." Meng De sighed gently, "Bai Xi's talent and wisdom are unmatched by all of us. When he inserted a silver needle into my waist acupuncture point, I was really hurt by him at that moment. At the same time, I also feel extremely sorry for him. The only thing that doesn't have is hatred. I don't know why, a person who wants to take my life, but I can't hate him.

Chu Tianya shook his head gently. Maybe his eyes were smoked by smoke and fire. Even if he narrowed, he was a little red and swollen. He said, "I can have today, and the Song Dynasty can have today. No matter what kind of heart he is, credit is credit, which is indelible... I still remember the scene when I first met Bai Xu in Taiyuan. It all seems to have happened yesterday..."

In the past, the scenes of getting along with Baixu flashed in Chu Tianya's mind like a movie. When I first met Taiyuan, I rescued Xue Yu, dealt with Tong Guan, cleaned up Ye Lv Yu Kan, and conspired to fight against Jin. Then I went to Chu Tianya who was imprisoned and rescued, defended Taiyuan, and even later the battle of Huanglong Valley, walked to Qixing Village, rebuilt Qingyun Fort... until the fire of today's Penglai Hall.

Everything seems to have a white figure in everything Chu Tianya has done.

The 100,000 Jin army, the country of the Song Dynasty, everyone, every inch of place, as if there is a white mark.

......

Meng De stepped forward and gently patted Chu Tianya on the shoulder, "Good brother, it's always going to kill people to fight in the south and the north. Everything Bai Wei has done, except for today's things, is worth affirming. Why don't you... let him die by missing the lights and candles and be buried in the sea of fire!"

Chu Tianya gritted his teeth, held back tears desperately, and nodded heavily.

"Wo-woo-woo!!"

The bell and drum tower of the imperial city did not ring the bell or beat the drum today, but sounded an abrupt horn.

This is a warning of war and a warning of major events.

Hearing this sound, Chu Tianya suddenly knelt down on the Penglai Hall and kowtowed three times.

"Bai Qi, you and I, goodbye!!"

When he got up, Chu Tianya shouted, "Wear armor!"

Qingwei went and returned, quickly put Chu Tianya's armor and knife on him, and then brought the war horse.

Zhao Huanse, an official, shrank his body and stood aside. The afterglow of the corners of his eyes glanced at Chu Tianya, and his face was trembling and pale.

Chu Tianya walked to Zhao Huan and hugged his fist.

"Ah! - Don't kill me!"

Zhao Huan shouted in fear and collapsed on the spot.

"Empties, Weichen has an important military information!" Chu Tianya said.

The left and right Qingwei pulled Zhao Huan up from the ground and let him stand up straight.

"Love, love, please do as you please, please!" Zhao Huan's face was pale, and his eyes trembling.

"Weichen dares to invite all the forbidden troops in Luoyang to go to the Jin army of Jiyuan low resistance to the southern invasion!" Chu Tianya said in a low voice, "If you dare to invite us again, the officials will go to Jiyuan to supervise the war!"

"Ah?" Zhao Huan was stunned, and his teeth swrenched, "You, do you want to... I, my personal expedition?"

"Hung King!" The nobleman standing aside was really angry, "You collude with the thieves to murder loyal ministers, and you should have been ruined long ago!" Now the king of Luoyang doesn't care about the past and asks you to go to the imperial expedition. It's just to give you the opportunity to make achievements. Fortunately, he shows his face in front of the people of the world and the generals of Jiyuan. He has a little prestige, but you still don't appreciate it!"

"Hist up, don't be so rude to the government!" Chu Tianya shouted in a low voice, and the noble man gritted his teeth and retreated. With that expression and eyes, Zhao Huan was almost torn to pieces on the spot.

"Uh... OK, OK, according to what Aiqing played, I will immediately go to Jiyuan to supervise the war!" Although Zhao Huan was scared, he was not scared yet, so he hurriedly grabbed the life-saving straw.

"My emperor is wise."

Chu Tianya took a soft breath and slowly walked to the entrance of Longwei Road.

Under the Longwei Road, it was all the generals of Luoyang brought by Meng De, more than a thousand people.

Seeing Chu Tianya appear, these generals were all overjoyed. No one issued an order. They all knelt down and said, "See the King of Luoyang!"

"Men, generals, heroes and heroes of the Song Dynasty!" Chu Tianya pulled out his knife and said, "The foreign enemy enters the bandits, and the country is in danger! - Who dares to kill me to the Yellow River and fight with the enemy bandits to the death?"

"Swear to follow the King of Luoyang to death!!!"

"Swear to follow the King of Luoyang to death!!!"

"Swear to follow the King of Luoyang to death!!!"

......

The roar is like thunder, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent!!

Half an hour later, south of the ancient capital Luoyang, the main gate of Changxia.

Ten miles away from the southern suburbs, 100,000 soldiers and horses are gathering urgently, and the golden drums are shouting, and the faction is majestic.

Under the Changxia Gate, countless people in Luoyang looked up and were very surprised.

Chu Tianya stood at the head of the city with Zhao Huan, an official, and a hundred civil and military officials, overlooking the people of Luoyang under the tower.

"Look - official!"

"Is it His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang standing next to the official?"

"Nonsense - such a big Chu flag, didn't you see it?"

"What a King of Luoyang! - The King of Luoyang is not dead, that's great!"

"The King of Luoyang is not dead!"

"The king of Luoyang is going to lead the army to fight against the enemy! - Luoyang is saved, Song is saved!!"

"The king of Luoyang is thousands of years old!"

"Thousand years old!!"

......

Cheers are deafening and lasts for a long time.

There is no need to say anything more. You just need Chu Tianya to appear here, and all the rumors will be broken; the hearts and morale of the people will rise in an instant.

"Tianya, I can't go with you this time." Xiao Linglong whispered beside Chu Tianya, "Promise me to win the battle and come back early."

Chu Tianya turned his head and smiled slightly, picked up Xiao Linglong's face, and kissed her on her red lips.

"Hahaha!"

Meng De and others laughed loudly and were very happy. Zhao Huan and some officials didn't know whether to laugh or cry when they saw it... Hey, it's injurified!

"King Luoyang, I have done everything I promised you." Another woman standing next to Xiao Linglong, Xiao Ta said, "Now, can you believe me?"

Chu Tianya slowly let go of Xiao Linglong, looked at her, and smiled slightly, "There is one more thing that has not been implemented."

"You mean that there is a war between Xiliao and Xixia?" Xiao Ta smiled and said, "If you don't need me to do anything, they will naturally go to war."

"Reason?"

"I know Yelu Dashi too well." Xiao Ta said, "Although his goal is to restore the Liao Dynasty and make you the ultimate enemy. However, he is very realistic and rational. I will only expand my strength step by step, and deal with the nearest enemy around me first. Xixia was deceived by you. They were worried that Luoyang would be destroyed by the Song Dynasty, so they hurriedly sent 50,000 main jockeys to attack Wanyan Zonghan. In this way, Xixia's interior is empty, and Yelu Dashi will definitely take advantage of it and attack Xixia. He has been keeping a low profile for so long, and it's time for his 200,000 troops to show their claws.

"You are really a woman you can't afford to provoke." Chu Tianya shook his head gently, "Okay, if Xixia and Xiliao really go to war, I will really believe you."

"Just believing?" Xiaota's eyebrows were raised.

"What else do you want?"

"Where do you think a woman who betrays her husband and country can go?" Xiao Ta took a deep breath, "In my life, I can only rely on you to support me and protect me."

Chu Tianya twisted his head and took a look at Xiao Linglong.

Xiao Linglong curled her lips and said, "Don't look at me. This is your national event. I don't care."

"Then I'll think about it." After saying this, Chu Tianya strode away.

Xiao Ta was not anxious. "What does he mean?"

Xiao Linglong shook her head, "When he comes back, you will know."

Soon after, in the large military camp in the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Zhao Huan, an official, presided over the sacrifice and oath ceremony. Then, with the assistance of Chu Tianya, he personally went to Jiyuan to supervise the battle.

Meng De is still staying in Luoyang.

In the evening, Meng De and Xiao Ai were invited to Luoyang Palace to enjoy the dinner prepared by Xiao Linglong.

This is the first time that Meng De appeared in front of the public at the same time as Xiao Ai.

Xiao Linglong smiled when she first saw the two of them entering side by side.

Xiao Ai's face turned red on the spot and he was at a loss.

"Xiao Ai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are more and more beautiful." Xiao Linglong came forward and took Xiao Ai's hand and said with a smile, "Why do you get estranged from me? Did you forget that when you were in Taiyuan, you slept with me every day like a sister?

"No, Xiao Ai dares not forget..." Xiao Ai blushed and whispered, "It's just... the first time I came to Luoyang Palace, and I'm not used to it. It's so luxurious and elegant here that I'm dazzled by it.

"Don't be detained, just like in your own home." Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Seventh brother and Tianya are brothers, and you and I are sisters. Moreover, you are about to marry the seventh brother. That's kissing and kissing! - In the future, Luoyang Palace will be your home!"

"Ah?" Xiao Ai suddenly blushed to the root of his neck, "When did I say I was going to marry him?"

Meng De smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't agree, so I'm going to ask Princess Xiao to help me with you today. Xiao Ai... You, just marry me!"

"Ah?!" Xiao Ai was stunned on the spot.

Uncle He also came out of the room and still habitually sat under the eaves and smiled, "Woman, don't forget that you still have my adoptive father. Marriage events have always been the words of parents' matchmakers - I have the final say, and you have to marry Meng Laoqi!"

"I, I..." Xiao Ai was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to say.

Xiao Linglong took her hand and said, "Xiao Ai, if the seventh brother really died in the hands of Bai Xun this time, what would you do?"

"I will definitely go with him!" Xiao Ai replied without thinking.

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Then you'd rather be a ghost couple with him than marry him?"

"No..." Xiao Ai sighed gently and lowered his head, "I don't deserve the seventh brother..."

"Xiao Ai, why don't you deserve me?" Meng De was anxious, "You are young, beautiful, gentle and virtuous; I, Meng Laoqi, is useless. It's a blessing for me to marry you in my last life!"

"I, I... I once fell into the dust, my body is too dirty..." Xiao Ai's voice was so low that he could hardly hear it, and his head was deeply lowered.

Meng De took a deep breath and walked to Xiao Ai, covering her shoulders with both hands, "Xiao Ai, I love you! I don't care about your past! I just hope that I can be with you in this life, stay together forever, and never give up!"

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, won't you agree quickly? ...Marry someone needs to marry Meng Qilang. How many more affectionate, righteous and open-minded men like the seventh brother in the world?

"Woman, if you don't agree, the old man will beat you on the ass with a cane!" Uncle He said in an urn over there.

"Third brother!"

Xiao Ai plunged into Meng De's arms and sobbed.

The two hugged each other tightly.

"Oh, today's banquet, good banquet, good banquet." Uncle He smiled for a while, turned around and walked in, "Queen Xiao, hurry up and call someone to drink!" The old man is going to have a few drinks with Meng Laoqi today!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Xiao Ta didn't smoke in the inner room and answered very happily.

Meng De and Xiao Ai were stunned, "Queen Xiao?"

Xiao Linglong couldn't laugh or cry, and whispered, "The old man called her as the housekeeper of the royal palace."

On the banquet, I drank three rounds. Uncle He was very happy today and took Meng De to drink non-stop.

Xiao Linglong and Xiao Ai chatted intimately, just like when they were trapped in the same room in Taiyuan, they talked about their relatives like sisters.

"Princess Xiao, in fact, I'm here today... I have something to ask for." Xiao Ai suddenly said.

Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "Why are you and me polite? Tell me quickly!"

"Actually..." Xiao Ai looked at Meng De, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Brother Seven wants to talk to the King of Luoyang by himself. But he was afraid that he could not say it, and he was afraid that the King of Luoyang would not agree. Therefore, he asked me to tell you, and you would pass it on to His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang.

Xiao Linglong's heart was blocked, and she had a bad feeling. She frowned in silence and nodded gently, "I know what you want to say."

"Can you... help us?" Xiao Ai looked at Xiao Linglong carefully and eagerly.

Xiao Linglong frowned and looked embarrassed. She thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure. No one knows what kind of relationship there is between Luoyang Wang and Meng Qige. I know. The matter of Bai Xi has a great blow to the King of Luoyang; if Meng Qige wants to leave again, I guess..."

Xiao Ai sighed gently, "I also know that it is a little inhuman to make such a request at this time. However, my seventh brother and I actually had such a plan for a long time. As you know, the seventh brother is a man. He has no intention of fighting for power and profit, nor does he have the intention to go to the army. Especially after the great cause of the emperor of Luoyang's throne, the seventh brother finally decided that he could retreat from the mountains and forests and live the idle life he wanted.

Xiao Linglong nodded gently, "People have their own aspirations, and they can't be forced. There must be a reason for the seventh brother to make such a decision, and I will definitely respect him. But... I guess the king of Luoyang will definitely not agree.

"Then we can..." Xiao Ai said halfway and bit his lip, "Leave before the triumphant return of the king of Luoyang."

"This..." Xiao Linglong's expression stagnated, "This is not good!"

"In desperation, I have no choice but to do this." Xiao Ai pleaded in a low voice, "Princess Xiao, you also know that the seventh brother has always been like a murderous black-faced Yan Jun since he came to Luoyang. I don't know how many people want to skin him and eat his meat. Can such a person stand on the court for a long time and have a good result? In addition, now there are a lot of talents around the king of Luoyang, and there is no shortage of the seventh brother. The seventh brother himself was also frustrated and unable to continue to stay here and make any contribution to the king of Luoyang. Instead of letting the seventh brother take the risk of eating in Luoyang, why not let him get where he is and live the life he wants? ...I think that if Luoyang Wangzhen regards the seventh brother as the best brother, even if he is reluctant, he will be able to figure it out sooner or later and be willing to fulfill him!"

Xiao Linglong was silent for a long time. She looked at Meng De over there and sighed, "Where are you going?"
