The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 426: Marriage, martial arts, sword

Seven days later, there was a ceremony and banquet at Green Willow Manor, Lu Junyi hosted it, and Zhao Tan and Xiao Min got married.

There were no outsiders. Only Su Shi and Lei San were called over in the palace, while the rest stayed behind.

Among the troops were Lu Junyi, Du Bo and Zhang Xian. Zhao Tao did not even notify Tan Zhen, Wang Zhen and others.

There are also the heroes of Suiyulou in Beijing, about a hundred or so. Now there are nearly 200 people in Suiyulou, half of them were sent to other places by Zhao Tao, and the rest are here.

Zhao Chu also called over. He was now the big boss of the bookstore. Together with General Lu, he followed the people from Suiyulou to Zhuangzi.

Unlike last time, General Lu only wrote a piece of calligraphy as a gift. After all, he had received his salary from the bookstore for several months, so he kept it in mind and did not spend it all. This time he bought all the gifts.

However, after entering Green Willow Villa, his expression was strange. This Zhuangzi... why did many places look familiar?
Although the house at the back cannot be passed, why does the front of Zhuangzi look more and more familiar?

There were also those dealers who seemed to be familiar with what they said. They seemed to be... scared. General Lu's heart almost jumped out of his throat. Isn't this the feeling he had when he was helping Yuandong?
The more he looked, the more they resembled each other, and the more he listened, the more real they became. Those arrangements all had traces of the Ming Cult, that’s why they looked familiar to him.

General Lu was suddenly confused. What is going on?

He looked at the other visitors, and only he himself noticed this, because he was originally a member of the Ming Cult, and no one else would know the characteristics and features of the Ming Cult.

General Lu's scalp immediately went numb. How could this happen? Hasn't the Mingjiao in the Central Plains been completely destroyed?

No, no, it seems that several great leaders have not died.

Chen Fan, the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon, the front envoy of Guangming, Ma Ling, King Dutianji, one of the five Dharma Kings, and... Li Fei, the right envoy of Guangming.

Who could it be?Actually broke into King Qin's side?
When General Lu was in prison in Hangzhou at that time, the prison chief was ordered by Zhao Tong to hit him every day with news about which leader of the Ming Cult had died in battle and was defeated.

It was the same at Suiyu Tower when he came back to Tokyo. Everyone told him who they had caught and who they killed, so he probably had an idea of ​​who was left in the upper echelons of the Mingjiao after the Yongle Holy Dynasty was defeated.

Later, he sold his life to Zhao Tao and gained his freedom. He went outside the Privy Council to watch the list of emperors who suppressed thieves. After confirming it, he realized that even if the Central Plains Mingjiao was destroyed, there were still three great leaders at large.

He had carefully considered that Chen Fan had been assisting Shi Sheng in Taihu Lake, and Shi Sheng was dead, but there was no news about Chen Fan. According to Chen Fan's status in the Ming Cult, the Song Army would definitely identify whether he was among the rebels. Since there was no such thing, then Chen Fan Van must have escaped.

As for Li Fei, the Right Envoy of Light, he didn’t know this person, nor had he seen it. This Right Envoy of Light had never been to Bangyuan Cave, and he had never shown his face in several battles in Jiangnan. Moreover, the Right Envoy was originally a Uighur. Appointed by the Mingjiao, he thought he should have gone to Uighur before the war, so he avoided the war.

In fact, I don’t blame General Lu for not knowing about Li Fei. On that day, Zhao Tong defrauded Fang Qifu into Jiangning as the Right Envoy of Light. Originally, only the senior generals in Fang Qifu’s army knew about it, and these senior generals were all killed there. After arriving in Jiangning City, Fang Qifu was seriously injured and escaped. When he recovered and was able to move, Fang La had already been defeated and fled to Hero Island. By the time Fang Qifu arrived at Hero Island, it was too late. The situation was over and his family also lost his life. , the news about the betrayal of the Right Envoy of Light was not conveyed at all.

As for Dutian Shen Ji Ma Ling, one of the five Dharma Kings, General Lu remembered that he had been following Fang La at first, but later disappeared after retreating from Suzhou. Fang La only said that he sent him to handle an important matter, and outsiders did not know Where have you gone?

Ma Ling is not said to be very powerful in martial arts, but he is extremely fast. The word "Ji" means a thousand-mile horse. The Dutian God Ji is the god of the sky, the horse god who is in charge of all the thousand-mile horses in the world.

Ma Ling's footsteps were so fast that Lu General had seen that even if Fang Qifu was much better than Ma Ling in martial arts, it was almost impossible to defeat Ma Ling, let alone kill him, because Fang Qifu had no ability at all. You can't catch Ma Ling.

Ma Ling's footwork and figure were unparalleled in the world. If he tried to run away, no one could catch him, nor could he catch up with him on horseback. He was not in the army afterwards, so Ma Ling should not have died.

General Lu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he thought about it. It must be one of the three great leaders who sent people to lurk into Zhuangzi and hide beside Zhao Tong. This was a terrible event.

Should he tell Zhao Tong?
General Lu's face was ugly, and sweat was dripping down his forehead. The decision to tell or not to tell was really difficult.

A person cannot stand without trust. Since he agreed to work for Zhao Tong, then at least Zhao Tong is his lord in name. It is necessary for him to tell Zhao Tong about this, otherwise it will be no different from a private betrayal.

But he is also a member of the Mingjiao. Although the Mingjiao in the Central Plains no longer exists, he has not quit the religion, nor has he betrayed the Mingjiao. If he went to tell Zhao Tong about this, would it be tantamount to betraying the Mingjiao?

"Shopkeeper Lu, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yan saw that something was wrong with him and asked.

"No, it's nothing..." General Lu dared not say anything, he didn't dare to say anything to anyone, not to mention Zhao Yan was still the prince.

"It's okay to look so ugly?" Zhao Yan wondered. At this time, he was no longer as ignorant of the world as when he first left the palace. He had learned so much in the bookstore business for several months, which was not found in books.

"Oh..." General Lu said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay. I just had a sudden stomachache. It's gone now."

"Since you have nothing to do, come with me to the front to watch the ceremony." Zhao Yan was a little confused. He didn't quite believe what Lu Jiangyan said, but seeing that he was covering up, it was difficult to continue asking.

The two people stepped forward and the performance had already begun.

The ceremony was different from the previous marriages between Zhao and Zhao. It followed ancient rituals, was more complicated, and took longer. It took a long time to complete, and then the banquet was held.

Zhao Tong sat at the head table, and everyone present came over to toast one by one, and the excitement continued until evening.

When the banquet was about to disperse, General Lu stood up tremblingly. After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to remind Zhao Tong. After all, the Mingjiao was gone. At this moment, he was serving the job of the King of Qin. It was not his character to remain silent and pretend to be confused.

But he didn't know what to say about Mingjiao. He just thought that the dealers had weird words and weird looks, which were quite suspicious. According to Zhao Tong's temperament, he would definitely check it out and see what happened. Maybe he thought It’s hard to say that things are actually wrong.

Zhao Tong was about to leave at this time. Qi Hongyu had hired several maids and women to wait on him before going to the bridal chamber. Seeing this, General Lu hurriedly came over to talk.

After Zhao Tong heard what he said, he looked him up and down, and General Lu was furious.

"Your Majesty..." General Lu didn't know what he said was wrong, which attracted Zhao Tong's gaze.

Zhao Tong nodded: "I know about this. Shopkeeper Lu should go back and rest early."

General Lu bowed and turned to leave. He let out a long breath when he went outside the door and felt much more relaxed.

When Zhao Tong came out of the hall, the two maids in front picked up lanterns, and the mother-in-law brought some practical things, and went straight to the wedding room. The back of the house was renovated and a back house was built. There were several courtyards inside, all of which were magnificently decorated.

After entering the house wall and looking for the bridal chamber courtyard, Zhao Tong opened the door and walked in.

I saw Xiao Min sitting on the edge of the bed, covered with red embroidered hair, motionless, but her two delicate hands were clasped together, obviously very nervous.

Zhao Tong said: "Thirteenth Mother, I'm back."

Xiao Min said: "Erlang..."

Zhao Tong locked the door and said with a smile, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No." Xiao Min whispered, "I'm worried that you are drunk. Too much alcohol will hurt your health."

Zhao Tong said: "I didn't drink much, but it was just a thought."

After saying that, he walked to the bedside, took the white jade Ruyi, and then lifted up the red hijab, revealing the shy face underneath.

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Madam, come here for a drink."

Xiao Min didn't dare to look up, so he stood up and walked over. After the two drank three glasses of wine, Zhao Tao said, "Madam, do you still remember when you first came to Tokyo?" Xiao Min said, "How dare you forget? If it hadn't been for that time, how could I have met Erlang? There is an intersection..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "The wonder of life is always hard to describe. Maybe this is fate."

Xiao Min suddenly said: "If I hadn't come that time, but Xiao Ta Buyan had come, I'm afraid she would be the one who fell in love with Erlang, right?"

"Huh?" Zhao Tong was stunned when he heard this: "Where did the Thirteenth Mother come from talking nonsense?"

Xiao Min turned away, not looking at Zhao Tong, and whispered: "Erlang just likes beautiful women..."

Zhao Tong touched his chin and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm quite jealous."

"No!" Xiao Min turned away, the blush on her face flying behind her ears.

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Madam, please go to bed and rest."

"I, I'm not sleepy..." Xiao Min suddenly panicked. She knew that this rest was different from the other squeezed sleeps in the past, and she felt inexplicably scared.

Zhao Tong stood up and said, "Do you want me to carry you over there?"

"No, no need..." Xiao Min slowly moved towards the bed. As soon as she reached the bed, Zhao Tong had already come from behind and gently hugged her.

Xiao Min didn't dare to move and murmured: "Erlang, you are..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "I will help you undress and take off your belt."

"Ah?" Xiao Min was startled when she heard this, and just as she was about to run away to the couch, Zhao Tong exerted a little force, but she couldn't break free, and she felt her body become soft.

After a while, Xiao Min huddled behind the brocade quilt on the couch, revealing only a pair of snow-white feet with nowhere to rest. They were intertwined together, feeling ashamed and afraid: "Erlang, you..."

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, your husband will be here soon."

Then he quickly took off his robe, jumped onto the bed like a hungry tiger.

"Erlang, turn off, turn off the lights..."

"What are you doing with the lights out?"

"It's too embarrassing not to turn off the lights..."

"Madam, if you close your eyes, isn't it the same as turning off the lights?"

"Erlang, you are lying to me again..."

"Why don't you believe it, madam? Just close your eyes and try it."

"No, um..."

……

Three days later, Zhao Tong left Zhuangzi, and Xiao Min came out to see her off. She had already changed her hair style and no longer wore makeup. From then on, Tong Yun became a married woman.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Tong read some letters, but they were nothing major.

Tan Zhen is in charge of the Military Affairs Department. As long as there is no war, it is usually inspection and training of troops. It doesn't matter whether he goes or not. He just gets paid according to the year and month.

It's not a big deal at Broken Jade Tower. If there was an urgent report, knowing that he was at the village, he wouldn't send the letter here.

As for Longyou and Fujian, if there is trust in these two places, they will go through secret channels and will not easily send them to the palace.

After checking around, and seeing that there was nothing to deal with, Zhao Tong went to sit in the Qingliang Hall and watch the Whale War Storm Picture. It didn't take long this time, and a happy look appeared on his face.

After carefully studying the whale battle and wind and rain painting three times, he finally realized the key. This second mural also contained a martial arts move.

This martial art is of the same origin as the boundless sea in the first picture. The three stone walls represent the three martial arts, but he has never tried it and does not know whether one move is more powerful than the other, or whether it is the same.

After Zhao Tong realized this, he hurried out and entered the woods next to the martial arts field.

It was a little late at this time, the sky was full of sunset, and it was a bit dim and desolate. Seeing no one around, he raised his hands with both hands, and then his figure flashed quickly, and his hands instantly produced countless afterimages, and then he only saw the fallen leaves hanging in the forest. It was as if the mountain wind was roaring, the waves were overturning, and then the palm slapped straight forward...

The next day, Zhao Tong continued to practice martial arts in the woods, the same on the third day, and again on the fourth day. After seven days of this, he completely mastered the hidden tricks of the Whale War Wind and Rain Map.

This move is extremely complicated. According to Zhao Tong's talent in martial arts, it would take seven days to completely master it, which shows how difficult and difficult it is to understand.

Although he had never used this move on anyone, Zhao Tong already felt that the power of this move was even greater than that of the first stone wall, Boundless Sea. After thoroughly mastering this move, he found that his martial arts had actually improved. It seemed that Has surpassed the master.

Although he surpassed the grand master, he felt that he was different from Fang La's half-step grand master, but he couldn't tell what the difference was. In short, if he were to fight Fang La again now, even if he didn't use Dahai Boundless, he would probably not lose, or even win. over each other.

But he knew that this was definitely not the realm of a grand master. It should be considered...a half-step grand master, right?
In the next few days, he began to practice swordsmanship, and practiced the life-threatening sword. After he derived the No. 11 sword style, he found that the sword's intention was still not exhausted, and there was a lingering feeling. How could he not know that Li Zhu When this sword technique was created, it was not the end of the eleven swords, but the No. 12 sword...

But it is extremely difficult to introduce the No. 12 sword again. After all, he also introduced the eleven swords. So when he recommends the No. 12 sword, he must not only refer to the sword intentions of Li Zhu's previous ten swords, but also refer to his own swords. The essence of the No. 11 sword is integrated and integrated to continue the meaning of the sword.

After a few more days of this, the weather got even colder, and Zhao Tong really couldn't push out the No. 12 sword, so he gave up for the time being and planned to leave it for later.

That morning, Yue Fei came to say goodbye. Zhao Tong prepared gifts for the old woman and prepared a carriage, intending to keep Yue Fei overnight and let him leave the next day.

When Yue Fei was about to refuse, Su Shi suddenly knocked on the door and called in. He saw that it was a newspaper delivered to the government office.

He opened it casually and frowned when he saw one of the messages.

At this moment, Zhao Chu came over from outside and said as he entered, "Second brother, it's bad. The official family really wants to marry the fifth sister to Cai Wei. They have already issued an imperial edict to get married on the Beginning of Winter."

Zhao Tao waved his hand towards him, motioning for him to sit down, and then touched his chin and thought for a while. Fu Jin was definitely not willing to marry Cai Wei. From Fu Jin's words, it could be heard that if it was really forced by Emperor Daojun's decree , I can’t say what stupid things Fujin would do when he was excited.

And as one of several younger siblings with whom he has a close relationship, he doesn't want Fu Jin to marry into the Cai family. After all, he and the Cai family will fall out sooner or later.

Thinking of this, he frowned and sighed softly. Next to him, Yue Fei said: "Brother, Di Ji..."

Zhao Tong said: "Junior brother, don't leave yet, stay and help me do something..."
