Apprentice of the Heavens

Chapter 58
Southern Song Dynasty
Lin'an Palace
At this time, Zhao Yun looked at most of the officials in the hall who were vacant, his face was ashen.
With the expiration of the ten-year contract, the entire Southern Song Dynasty was uneasy. With the gathering of Daxia soldiers on the border, those who were able to escape in the entire Southern Song Dynasty were looking for ways to escape. The chaos of the Southern Song Dynasty became a pot of porridge
People from all over the country are passing away quickly, and the innocent people are pouring into Daxia, and the evildoers in the past either fled overseas with their money or hid in the mountains, trying to escape. Of course, there are also people who are loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty and are ready to fight to the death , but only a few thousand people, it is true that an egg hits a stone.

This time, Daxia divided two groups of soldiers and horses to attack the Song Dynasty. The Xuanwu Army attacked the Yangtze River. The White Tiger Army attacked the land of Lingnan from Yunnan Province and pushed all the way across. The Qinglong Army followed behind to guard the captured city.
For a while, except for some cities in the south of the Yangtze River who resisted occasionally, they all pushed all the way, and some cities even opened their gates directly, but the general had already run away by himself.

In just one month, the entire front line advanced smoothly to Hongzhou, leaving only the size of a province in the Southern Song Dynasty

Lin'an Palace
As the bad news came again and again, people in the entire palace began to panic, and the emperor Zhao Yun even secretly started to pack up the treasures but planned to run away

The concubines in the palace also secretly collected gold, silver and treasures. For a while, there was an undercurrent in the palace, and then a news came that stopped all the undercurrent. The Xuanwu Army of Daxia blocked the entrance to the sea.

For a moment, Zhao Yun felt as if the sky had collapsed, his eyes darkened, but he passed out in a coma

"What's wrong with you, Your Majesty, call the imperial doctor quickly"

The maids around hurriedly shouted loudly, and they were in a mess for a while. After a while, a white-haired imperial doctor hurried into the hall, took Zhao Yun's pulse, sighed, and ordered the maids to take the prescription to make medicine

After a long time, Zhao Yun stared blankly at the roof, and the rest of the officials beside the bed looked at Zhao Yun on the bed worriedly. After a while, Zhao Yun spoke hoarsely.

"Surrender, Da Song is over"

There was sadness and relief in the words, the mouths of the officials moved slightly, but they couldn't say what they wanted to say
With the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty, the territory of Daxia officially spanned the entire East Asia

Today is the day when the Southern Song Dynasty officially surrendered, and Li Ming also came here specially

Li Ming looked at Zhao Yun, who seemed to be ten years old, and took the jade seal respectfully presented by the other party. He did not kill the other party. The other party's heart was dead. What is the difference between killing and not killing?

For Zhao Yun, this may be a good ending, after all, his skull was used as a drinking container in history

After the next trivial matter, Li Ming arranged for people to deal with it and did not stay in the Lin'an Palace for a long time, but changed into ordinary clothes and walked out of the city with two jars of imperial wine
Niujia Village

At this time, Niujia Village is already desolate, only a few huts are still intact, obviously there are still people living here

Li Ming walked slowly into the desolate village, a burst of children's noises attracted Li Ming's attention, Li Ming took a closer look, and saw three children about eight or nine years old laughing and playing in the open space

As Li Ming approached, all three of them looked at the stranger in front of them curiously.
In the end, a boy who looked older asked, "Big brother, are you from outside the village?"

Li Ming was taken aback for a moment, but then he was relieved, but it was the eternal youth that made the other party think that he was young, and he nodded and said without explaining, "Yes, I came from outside. What are your names?"

"My name is Yang Guo," the boy replied
"I...my name is Guo An" a shy boy

"My name is Guo Xiang." The girl introduced herself generously.
Li Ming couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, he didn't say another word, then looked into the distance, and after a while, a woman came slowly
Li Mochou looked at Li Ming and couldn't help but froze slightly, but she hadn't seen him for ten years, but she felt familiar for a while, but she didn't think about it for a while.

"Sister Mochou, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same demeanor."

What Li Ming said caused a flash of inspiration in Li Mochou's mind, and she opened her mouth in surprise.

"You are Li Ming! What are you doing here?"

Li Ming nodded with a smile, Li Mochou's complexion changed and she hurriedly pulled a few children behind her to protect her, but the atmosphere was a little tense for a while
"The whole world is the land of Xia, why can't it come under my rule?"

Li Ming was still not unhappy because of Li Mochou's guard, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still the same, but Li Mochou fell silent when he remembered the news of the past few days, with a movement of his hand, a bee seemed to inadvertently break in and then flew away, A playful look flashed across Li Ming's eyes, he smiled and said nothing

The atmosphere froze for a while, but the third child behind Li Mochou poked out his head and looked at Li Ming curiously. A moment later, there was the sound of footsteps, and several figures jumped into the field to surround Li Ming, with nervous expressions on their faces. Looking at Li Ming with a weapon in hand
"You haven't seen each other for many years, but you don't have to do it when you meet."

Li Ming looked at Guo Jing, Yang Kang, Jiangnan Seven Monsters and others who surrounded him with smiles on their lips. Everyone was looking at Guo Jing, but it was him who was the backbone. Guo Jing looked at Li Ming with complicated eyes.
"Li Ming, are you not afraid that we will kill you when you come here alone?"

"You won't and can't"

Li Ming looked at the crowd calmly, and said confidently, the atmosphere became tense again for a while, and after a while, Li Ming threw out the jar of wine
"Drink?"

Guo Jing took the wine jar, looked at Li Ming, and nodded after a long time
In a courtyard of Niujia Village

Everyone looked at Guo Jing hesitantly, and finally exited the yard after being signaled by Guo Jing's eyes, leaving only two figures sitting in front of the stone table

"Guo Jing, how long has it been since you and I had a drink together?"

"almost ten years"

Guo Jing replied as if recalling

"Yeah, ten years in the blink of an eye, drink something?"

Li Ming said as if lamenting the vicissitudes of time, then poured a bowl of wine and held it up to Guo Jing, Guo Jing was startled, then poured another bowl, the two drank it down
Just like this, the two bowled one bowl after another, but after a while, the wine jar was half empty. Li Ming seemed a little happy. Since he took that seat, Li Ming's power has become more and more serious. Everyone is in awe of him, but it has never been so long. Presumptuous

Ever since the old lama of the Kingdom of Jin was beaten to death by himself, he was even more lonely, and he also somewhat understood the state of mind of Dugu Qiubai back then, but no one in the vast world can be a match, and fortunately there are two women and children as companions, but they are not alone. too lonely

"The Southern Song Dynasty has already surrendered, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Ming gulped it down carefreely and asked seemingly unintentionally, Guo Jing stopped holding the bowl and looked at the wine in his hand with a complicated expression.

"I don't know, maybe I will spend the rest of my life in Niujia Village."

Li Ming finished drinking the wine in the bowl with a feeling of relief, and Li Ming didn't say anything else, and drank the wine in a silent atmosphere, until Jinwu Xiluo and everyone entered, and only Guo Jing was left in the courtyard looking at the sunset.
