It's snowing again in Bianjing City. How many people have the time to admire the beauty of this snow?
After walking around the northwest, Liang Chuan finally understood why the Zhao family couldn't hold on to this colorful world. This world did not belong to the Zhao family, but to the whole world. The Zhao family wanted to be comfortable themselves, but they wanted the common people to pay for them. The final outcome can only be to be abandoned by everyone in the world.
This is something Liang Chuan considers, but it is not something he should consider.
He lived in Xia Song's house. In the morning, he seemed to go back to the scene when he came to Bianjing a year ago and just moved into Ding Wei's mansion. Standing in the yard and seeing the towering Forbidden City, he felt more like two people. As a human being, only after experiencing life and death can we understand the weight of these three words: live.
Compared to when Liang Chuan came to Beijing to be a hero and save the beauty, this time he came to Beijing just to take Xin Wubing away and take Shen Yuzhen home. For this prosperous place that did not belong to him, he did not want to be here for a moment. Stay longer.
There is also his mortal enemy in the city-Zhao Zong'e!
The two of them had completely broken up with each other. Zhao Zonge had sent people to kill him, and he was determined to fight to the death.
Xia Song didn't know why he was protecting him, but it must not be because he liked him, but because he still had something he could use.
Bianjing City is full of dangers. This time it is even more dangerous than the last time we entered the city!
Liang Chuan missed Ding Wei's house in the south of the city. It seemed to be a little smaller than Xia Song's.
The house was too big. Liang Chuan walked around a few times and marveled at the towering rockery. The stones in the pond were all transported from Taihu Lake. The beams in the house seemed to be fine nanmu. Liang Chuan walked around a few times and looked at the heavy snow falling in the north. , sighed at the splendor of this house, but soon lost his patience. Although it was better than Ding Wei's house at the time, the flowers were not as bright as a hundred days. Couldn't Xia Song have foreseen Ding Wei's end? , are you really that confident in your abilities? Both of them are the best among ten thousand, but neither of them understands the principle that a flower can make a day prosper?
Xia Song returned to Bianjing, and before he could even enjoy the softness of the silk quilt, he hurriedly went to court. The court appointed him as the counselor of political affairs. He was the second-in-command in the country, and even the second-in-command in the street could do anything in ordinary life. to the eyebrows, not to mention such an important military position.
Although Liang Chuan was important, he still had to distinguish the occasion. He randomly found a guard and guarded Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan glanced at the guard following him. His temples were bulging, his hands were covered with calluses, and his eyes were extremely restrained. Liang Chuan would not mess with such a character at first sight.
But it's like being imprisoned in this courtyard, suffocating people to death.
"What's your name?" Liang Chuan asked the guard who was following him.
The guard was a veteran and didn't want to talk to Liang Chuan. To him, Liang Chuan was just a deserter. All his men had escaped. This was the biggest shame on the battlefield. The man returned to the battlefield to be buried.
Seeing that he didn't say anything or answer, Liang Chuan just said, "I want to go out to the west of the city."
The guard said in a serious tone: "My lord has an order, you are not allowed to leave Xia Mansion."
Liang Chuan chuckled, turned around and walked into the room. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stood up, the huge figure bullied him, and punched the guard.
Liang Chuan did not practice anything else in the Western Army. Whenever he had free time, he would practice sparring with the people around him. He did not achieve any results with his talk, but he learned a lot about the skills of the "silly boys" in Guanzhong.
This guard only thought that Liang Chuan was a useless loser. He didn't expect that Liang Chuan would suddenly attack! But many years of battlefield
His fighting experience allowed him to react immediately, and he stepped back sideways, trying to put some distance between the two of them.
Distance is life on the battlefield. Naturally, Liang Chuan also knew this truth. He twisted his body and swept over with a whip kick!
The guard was overjoyed. You must know that it is taboo to use your legs when fighting with bare hands in close combat. People who have been around on the street also know that once someone hugs their legs, they will fall down!
It's a pity that he met Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan's whip legs can crack mountains and crack rocks! The guard foolishly wanted to come over and catch Liang Chuan's leg, but regretted it as soon as he made contact. He quickly tightened his chest and abdomen and concentrated his strength on his lower abdomen to avoid internal injuries.
There was a muffled sound, but a trace of blood still oozed from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had suffered internal injuries.
The guard Xia Song had told him before leaving that he must not hurt him, so he could only passively take the beating. Liang Chuan was different. Although he lost in fists and kicks, he had no restraints and naturally had the upper hand.
"If I wanted to escape, I would have left long ago. Do you understand now?"
The guard was also a man. He wiped his mouth and said, "My name is Zhan Zhao."
What?
Liang Chuan was startled and asked anxiously: "Say it again, write it for me to see? Which one shows which one?"
Zhan Zhao didn't understand how scary his name was, so he scrawled it on the ground. Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that it really was the word "Zhan Zhao".
I believe that many people have watched Bao Qingtian when they were young, and Liang Chuan also watched it when he was a child. It is really a beautiful memory of his childhood. I believe that the dream in every young boy's heart at that time was not to be the selfless Bao Heitan who solved crimes with a magical machine, but that everyone wanted to do it. Chivalrous, tender, handsome and brave Zhan Guo!
Could it be. . This guy is Bao Heitan's right-hand man, that Zhan Zhao?
Liang Chuan gave Zhan Zhao his hand and pulled Zhan Zhao up from the ground.
Just because you don't know each other without fighting, Zhan Zhao's impression of Liang Chuan has been greatly changed after being kicked by Liang Chuan. That fierceness and ease of control will never appear in a deserter or a person who is greedy for life and fear of death. Their ruthlessness There is no lower limit and they will wipe out anyone who sees them embarrassed for the sake of their own face.
Liang Chuan also patted the dust on his body and said, "Would you like to go shopping with me?"
Looking at Liang Chuan's demeanor, he could only bow his hands and say, "Okay!"
As soon as Liang Chuan left the Xia Mansion, he saw Yelu Chongguang, Yeluhan and more than thirty brothers from the intelligence team, their eyes red, and everyone came to greet them.
When Zhan Zhao looked at these people, he realized that Liang Chuan was really not joking. These people were ruthless people who had seen blood. If they attacked Xia Mansion, without the protection of Kaifeng Mansion, Xia Mansion would be afraid that no one would be able to survive!
"Master, you really want our brothers to die!" The Khitan people value love and righteousness. To put it bluntly, national justice is not so unforgettable to him. Moreover, Yelv Chongguang and his group also grew up in a Han family environment. Han people are no different, so there is no barrier between them and Liang Chuan.
The group's eyes were red as they saw Liang Chuan asking Liang Chuan questions.
Liang Chuan rushed: "Bring me two horses first. This one will be my brother from now on. His name is Zhan Zhao!"
"Brother Zhan!"
Zhan Zhao was surprised that Liang Chuan regarded him as a brother and was not afraid that he was Xia Song's. .
How did he know that the word Zhan Zhao was a living sign? It was unclear whether they were the same person, but the person who dared to call Xiang Yu couldn't be Guitan.
"Thank you."
Liang Chuan and Zhan Zhao got on their horses, and the group of people cheered in front and supported each other, crossing the imperial court.
Walking straight out of the west gate, those who didn't know the formation thought it was a dandy from some family who was leaving!
Along the way, Liang Chuan told the story of his nearly one month in Guyuan City, and then showed the shocking scars on his body. Even a man like Zhan Zhao felt chills on his back after seeing it. If you can still laugh and talk here after being tortured, are you still a human being?
Yeluhan was furious when he saw this and cursed: "Do you want me to go back and kill Xia Song and his family to avenge my boss?"
This was said in front of Zhan Zhao, which showed that they had no scruples. Liang Chuan glanced at Zhan Zhao and was afraid that it would be difficult for him. He smiled and said, "That's not necessary. He is an important official of the imperial court. We are the people of the Song Dynasty. If the imperial court blames us, we will only suffer."
Liang Chuan had said at the beginning that it would be ungentleman not to take revenge. He wanted to take revenge, but he couldn't be so direct in front of others. Wouldn't it be nice to go back and secretly trick him?
Yelu Zhongguang slammed his whip: "This guy is so lucky!"
Liang Chuan said: "We have many enemies in Bianjing City, and Xia Song is not the only one. When we come back this time, we really have to reckon with this bad debt. By the way, how is Zhuangzi doing now!"
Everyone was silent for a while, unable to bear to explain the truth to Liang Chuan.
When Liang Chuan saw everyone's reaction, a stone sank to the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but urge the horse to get off, and hurried to Liangjiazhuang.
Zhuangzi can be said to be his third hometown, and Liang Chuan's feelings here are quite deep.
The horse galloped and neighed for a long time, and finally arrived at Zhangjiazhuang through counties and villages. This village had long been deserted. The last two characters of Liangjiazhuang on the county poster at the door were missing, and only the shadow of the character Liang could be seen.
"Let's go in and take a walk." Everyone followed Liang Chuan without saying a word. This was the territory that Liang Chuan managed by himself. Someone had bribed Liang Chuan to take it over, but now people and things have changed.
The weeds in the Zhuangzi are dry and yellow, covering the entire Zhuangzi. Except for the horse racing track, which was heavily trampled by the horses' hooves, it is still bare. The tiles on the roofs of several big houses in the middle, such as the meeting hall, are visible to the naked eye. A big hole, it doesn't look like it was crushed by snow, but it looks like it was man-made.
At first, the land here was full of sweet potatoes and tobacco. After he was assigned, he urgently ordered Yelu Zhongguang to move these important materials away. Now, except for weeds, there is no melon vine or pepper in the land. What a pity for such a good piece of land.
Hong Bufan and others who were originally in the village have also disappeared. According to Yelu Zhongguang, they have successfully arrived at Qingyuan. There are many refugees who followed their advice and went south. There is no one left in Zhuangzi now.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the house, and several scared and innocent children appeared. Their single clothes were shabby, and their little faces were purple from the cold. The older children hugged the younger children tightly, relying on each other helplessly. Looking at Liang Chuan and his party riding a tall horse, they were trembling!
Liang Chuan felt a stabbing pain in his heart. The older he got, the less likely he was to see such a scene.
"Who are these people?"
"They are refugees nearby. There are more refugees this year than last year. Maybe they have nowhere to go and seeing no one in our village, they settled here."
Zhan Zhao turned his head to the side. Many of these refugees were their fellow villagers. .
The child may have known that the owner of the village was here, so he immediately stood up and said, "Master, don't be surprised. We will leave immediately so as not to pollute the master's house."
