An important city in the northern part of the Song Dynasty, Baozhou City,
When the 800-mile cavalry rushed to Baozhou, the Liao army had already marched to less than a hundred miles away from the boundary of Baozhou. After Yang Yanzhao received the imperial edict to thank him, the imperial messenger smiled and said: "Congratulations to General Yang on your promotion to Baozhou. The regiment training envoy and the officials also ordered this to be handed over to General Yang, saying that General Yang can guard the border with peace of mind and not worry about external affairs." After saying that, the messenger took out the draft of the meeting notes from the morning and handed it to Yang Yanzhao.
Yang Yanzhao took over the draft and edited it. After reading it, he was moved and bowed deeply in the direction of Bianjing. In fact, he had always been too sensitive about his identity and was stationed at such an important pass. He was worried about criticism within the court. Now that he had the emperor's trust, he no longer had any worries and could devote himself to defending the city.
My father was a surrendered general at that time. After surrendering to the Song Dynasty, he won the trust of the officials and eventually died for the country, living up to the trust of the officials. Now I will not disgrace the honor of my father and brothers.
At the same moment, the brutal siege battle in Zizhou City, Shu Land, thousands of miles away to the south, was still continuing.
The imperial army led by Wang Jien has also successfully captured Bazhou, and their troops are heading towards Chengdu.
At Kuimen, east of Zizhou City, another forbidden army led by Lei Youzhong was also approaching Kuimen.
Amid the complicated situation in Shu, Tangjiapu in Kaizhou, which is more than 200 miles east of Zizhou City, is also very tense and busy. The Tang family mainly deals in concealed weapons, crossbows and machine tools. Due to the rebellion in central Sichuan, the government needed a large amount of military supplies, so the Tang family gathered all the inventory in stores in various places and shipped them in batches to the battlefields in urgent need.
This time the rebels besieged Zizhou City, and the Tang family also planned to send their disciples to Zizhou to help the officers and soldiers defend the city. At the same time, we are going to send a team of troops to escort a batch of crossbows to Chengdu Mansion to assist the imperial imperial army in attacking Chengdu Mansion.
This time, the person responsible for escorting the bows and crossbows to the Chengdu Prefecture was Tang Yu, one of the younger generation of the Tang family.
Tangjiabao, inside the meeting hall.
"Yu'er must be extremely careful when escorting bow and crossbow supplies to Chengdu this time. The state capitals along the way have been occupied by rebels. You can take the northern route to avoid the main road. Remember, the task our Tang family has received is to secure the supplies. Just transport it to the imperial army, don't be aggressive and fight with the enemy..." Tang Bofang, the eldest of the four elders of the Tang family, said to Tang Yu.
"Uncle, please rest assured, the child knows the importance." Tang Yu bowed and said.
"Haha, brother, Yu'er has always been prudent in doing things and doesn't need too many instructions." Tang Zhongzhi, the second eldest brother, said with a smile.
As Tang Yu's father, Tang Jiyan said solemnly: "Yu'er, as a son of the Tang family, you must not disgrace your family name. The reason why our Tang family has today's status in the martial arts world is because your grandfather was in the family back then. I killed Hu Lin and assassinated the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and gained great fame. Although our Tang family is in the world, we serve the country and the people and never want to be seconded. You must remember this."
"My child, please remember your father's teachings!"
In the backyard of the Tang family, in the corridor, a beautiful figure was pestering Tang Yu, seeming to be begging for something.
"Brother, just let me go to Chengdu with you. I am also a member of the Tang family and I have to share the worries of the Tang family. Just tell your father and uncle and take me with you!"
The person acting coquettishly next to Tang Yu is Tang Feng, the only girl among the younger generation of the Tang family. She is also Tang Yu’s sibling sister.
"Feng'er, it's not that Ge won't take you, but it's very dangerous to escort the supplies this time. It will be inconvenient for you, a girl, to follow. If there is an accident, I will have to protect you..." Tang Yu looked distressed. Said with a smile.
"Hmph, brother, don't underestimate me. I've practiced Kung Fu before," Tang Feng said and made a few gestures.
"With your three-legged cat skills, it's difficult to deal with local gangsters, let alone the fierce rebels..." Tang Yu smiled and shook his head. Suddenly something came to his mind. He squinted at his sister and smiled meaningfully. , said: "Feng'er, tell the truth, are you rushing to Chengdu this time just to meet Junior Brother Yang?"
Tang Feng panicked when her brother revealed something that was on her mind, and quickly defended: "That's not true. That guy didn't even have the time to see me when he was in Chengdu, so he just led his troops to Jianmen Pass. I'm too lazy to go see him,"
Tang Yu's face was full of disbelief, and he smiled playfully, and then said seriously: "This matter is important, you should tell your father. If he refuses, there is nothing I can do."
"Brother, it's not like you don't know dad's bad temper. He definitely won't let me go..." Tang Feng pouted and said coquettishly.
Tang Yu smiled secretly and said, "You can ask grandma for help. If you can persuade grandma, dad and the others will not dare to disobey grandma!"
Tang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me. I'll go find grandma right now..."
In a quiet small courtyard in the backyard of Tangjiabao, with simple and simple furnishings, Mrs. Tang sat on a wicker chair with a kind smile on her face, while Tang Feng gently tapped Mrs. Tang's legs beside her. She said coquettishly while tapping her leg: "Grandma, daddy and the others are bullying me again. You have to make the decision for me..."
Mrs. Tang looked at her beloved granddaughter and said with a loving smile: "But you want to go to Chengdu Mansion?"
"Ah! Grandma is really awesome, she knows everything," Tang Feng said with a smile and flattered her.
Mrs. Tang continued: "But are you going to find that boy from the Yang family?"
Tang Feng was really panicked now. His eyes widened and he stammered and said, "Grandma... you... why... did your brother tell you?"
"It was your brother who thought this matter was important and told your father, and your father came and told me..."
"Oh...then...what does grandma think?" Tang Feng asked with some expectation and some anxiety.
Mrs. Tang looked at Tang Feng for a while, seeming a little lost. Then she regained her thoughts and said, "Feng'er, tell me, why did you fall in love with the boy from the Yang family?"
When Tang Feng saw her grandma asking such a question, her face turned red. She pondered for a while and then said, "Senior Brother Yunfan is one of the best among men. He is highly skilled in martial arts, kind-hearted, the queen of generals, and Master Zhou of the Kunlun Sect." A direct disciple, and good-looking..."
Talking about the advantages of her sweetheart, Tang Feng couldn't help but talk endlessly. It wasn't until she noticed that her grandma was looking at her and smiling that she suddenly blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head, and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her two fingers.
"Then how far have you two developed?" Mrs. Tang asked with a smile.
Tang Feng raised her head and said, "We have made a lifelong commitment, and we gave each other tokens of love..." After saying that, Tang Feng handed the Fengming Jade that Yang Yunfan gave her to Mrs. Tang.
