Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 13: Return of Li Gang

In troubled times, the prince’s identity is not reliable, and he must have the means to protect himself. And martial arts is the best way to protect himself, so Zhao Chen has been studying martial arts assiduously.

At the beginning, he tried hard to learn martial arts, perhaps because of curiosity. After all, from modern society, learning martial arts is a very novel thing. After so many months, the novelty has slowly disappeared, and what is left is "hard work" and "boring". This is also the reason why no one in the royal family practice martial arts anymore except Zhao Chen. Ordinary children of the royal family have noble identities, and they can find joy in the weekdays. Even if they don’t seek joy, they can chant poems and make right. Why should they learn martial arts? At this time, learning martial arts has long been not because of curiosity, but because of the existence of crisis consciousness in my heart!

"The accumulation of soil makes mountains, wind and rain prosper! The accumulation of water makes an abyss, and the dragons are born! Accumulate goodness into virtue, and the gods are contented, and the sacred heart is prepared! Therefore, do not accumulate steps, and there can be thousands of miles! Without accumulating small streams, there is no way to become a river! Qi Ji made a leap, and couldn't take ten steps, but he could not give up his achievements!"

As Zhao Chen moved forward, he chanted the Chinese poems he had learned in the third year of high school to encourage himself. Diligence can make up for the clumsy, not to mention that Zhao Chen is not "clumsy" at all. As a child of the royal family, he has the qualifications that ordinary people do not have, and possesses the top martial arts cheats that ordinary people do not have. He also has an innate master like Wang De as a teacher! Under these favorable conditions, if he couldn't learn a lot of advanced martial arts, then he would really be sorry for himself!

In the center of Jujing Garden, he saw Wang De, whose expression was unusually calm, as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Chen knew what happened last night and how much risk Wang De took! If that Xiao San'er was discovered, Xiao San'er would not be able to escape to death, and Wang De, who sent Xiao San'er to the palace, would not be able to escape to death! And not just Wang De himself, but Wang De's entire family may be implicated, and it is possible to impede the Nine Clan!

"General Wang, thank you! I will always remember this kindness!" Zhao Chen came to Wang De and said softly, his voice was extremely sincere!

"Why does the prince say this? You are a prince, and I am a minister! His prince has the kindness to know Wang De! As the saying goes, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die! If the king has his life, I will naturally go all out to complete it. Your Highness must never say thank you in the future, these are what the ministers should do!" The more sincere Zhao Chen, the more feared Wang De felt and the more difficult it was to report this "graciousness of knowledge", so he hurriedly said!

In the eyes of modern people, it is right for others to do things for themselves and express their gratitude! It's a pity that this is just the thinking of modern people! In ancient times, under the teaching of Confucianism, the monarch is like the sky, and the subordinates are like the earth. The monarch said to his subordinates that "the kindness is always in the heart". This is simply the supreme kindness, and it is hard to repay the broken bones. At this moment, Wang De's eyes were even a little wet, and he turned his head hurriedly to prevent Zhao Chen from seeing it.

Zhao Chen was a little surprised at this moment, he didn't understand why Wang De was so excited.

"His Royal Highness, that little San'er is just a poppy in Kaifeng City. Although he is only ten years old, he is very cunning! You must be careful of him!" Wang De said, thinking of the little San'er.

"Don't worry, I won't let him make trouble in the palace! He looks quite clever, and he will be cautious!" Zhao Chen said.

In the morning, Zhao Chen followed Wang De to practice Taizu Changquan, but what he practiced was only the first thirty-two styles handed down by the folks! The real Taizu Changquan has 108 styles. Unfortunately, the 76 styles behind are secrets from the palace. He cannot show it in front of other people, even in front of Wang De, so he can only be in the East Palace. Can practice alone!

At first, Zhao Chen was a little uneasy. He was worried that Xiao San'er in the East Palace would be discovered, and worried that something would happen to the East Palace! However, as he practiced every trick, his mood gradually calmed down! The more he is in such a chaotic situation, the more he has to calm down. If he is not calm, he can't do anything well. Now anxiety doesn't have any effect on him!

In the past at noon, Zhao Chen would have dinner with Wang De in Jujingyuan, but today he returned to the East Palace at noon! Seeing everything in the East Palace was normal, he was relieved.

Zhao Chen entered his bedroom and drove all the eunuchs and court ladies out. He came to the bed and lowered his body, only to see Xiao San'er still hiding under the bed! Xiao San'er looked at Zhao Chen with dark eyes, and Zhao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are fine, not discovered by them!" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, I'm hungry..." Xiao San'er said.

Zhao Chen laughed and said, "I will let them bring in the food, and the chamber pot... You may have a period of time like this. Can you adapt?"

"I can do it! I started begging when I was three years old. It was a lot harder than now! Following His Royal Highness, at least it won't make me hungry. The villain would like to thank His Royal Highness!" Xiao San'er said .

"Very good! You do things for me now, and I won't treat you badly! There are a lot of gold and silver treasures in this palace. If you like that, just take it!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Xiao San'er's face showed an expression of surprise! When he came in the middle of the night yesterday, he had already seen the magnificence in this palace, and I don't know how many treasures there were! Anything here is a royal utensil, you can sell it for a big price if you get it outside! He is a beggar on the surface, but he is actually a poker! Although he knows that the palace is no small thing, but he feels that he can leave. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! He was thinking about staying here for a few days, stealing some treasures from the palace, and then secretly leaving! But now Zhao Chen actually said, "You fancy that, just take it." Instead, he plans to stay here for a while, get more treasures, and then leave here!

As for what Zhao Chen asked him to do, he still doesn't understand, nor is he ready to understand! In the final analysis, he is still a child and will not think about many annoying things.

Zhao Chen had lunch in the palace, after thinking about it, he decided to use words to deceive the third child so that he could "willingly" do things for himself! At that time, if the Jin Bing encircled Kaifeng City, this junior could go to the Jin Army without any resistance!

"You know, what did I let you into the palace for?" Zhao Chen said.

"The villain doesn't know!" Xiao San'er shook his head.

"It's actually very simple. The palace is so boring! Sometimes I inevitably leave the palace secretly and go shopping outside! It's just that if I leave the palace and the people in the palace cannot find me, I will definitely report to my father. , I will be blamed by my father! I let you into the palace to be my stand-in! When I leave the palace, you will appear as me. The palace has a lot of food and treasures! You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to be polite to ask for it! At that time, you can also dominate and be dissatisfied with anyone, and you can yell at it at will!" Zhao Chen said.

"There is such a good thing!" Xiao San'er's face showed a mixture of surprises!

"This is not a good thing, do you think it is so good to be a substitute for a prince? As a prince, there are many etiquette and many rules, you have to learn these! In the future, I will slowly teach you! If you can't bear the hard work, I will ask Wang De to find another person, and you can leave this palace!" Zhao Chen said.

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, this hard work is nothing! I will definitely do it!" Xiao San'er said.

"Very good!" Zhao Chen nodded!

Zhao Chen has left the palace, but Xiao San'er is still hiding under the bed. He has been hiding under the bed all morning, and now his whole body aches. However, he was extremely happy in his heart, as if in a cloud. He wanted to be able to appear in the palace as a "prince" in the future. How majestic would that be? Originally, he wanted to leave the palace after obtaining gold and silver, but at this moment he decided to stay here for a long time, at least until he had enjoyed enough "Prince" treatment before leaving here! As for the hard work he endured before enjoying the treatment of the prince, he felt that it was also worth it!

When Zhao Chen came to Jujing Garden, Wang De still arrived early.

Zhao Chen saw a hint of joy on Wang De's face, he couldn't help but was taken aback, and said, "General Wang, what happened?"

Wang De smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Qi, now it has spread in Kaifeng City, and Master Li Gang Li has returned!"

"Oh!" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

The name Li Gang is also a thunderous to him. Not only did he hear the name back then, he often heard it after he came to ancient times! Last year, when Jin Bing went south for the first time, it was Li Gangli who was fighting against Jin. Under the leadership of Li Gang and Zhong Shidao, Jin Bing could not enter Kaifeng City and finally retreated! Only after Jin Bing retreated, Li Gang was demoted. The Song court accused Li Gang of "except for the deliberation of the war and the loss of the teacher", meaning that Li Gang was single-minded to fight with the Jin Bing, which led to the death of the soldier and military expenses. waste! After Jinbing retired last year, Li Gang was demoted to Jiangxi Jianchang Army and became a magistrate! Now that Jin Bing came again, Song Qinzong was flustered, so he called Li Gang from Jiangxi to Kaifeng again!

"In addition to Master Li Gang Li, Master Zhang Shuye also came! And Master Zhang also brought tens of thousands of King Qin's army!" Wang De smiled.

"Zhang Shuye!" Zhao Chen had naturally heard of this name. The hero of Liangshan in the Water Margin is invincible, but in fact the Song Jiang Uprising was annihilated long ago, and it was Zhang Shuye that annihilated the Songjiang Uprising! When Jin Bing first invaded the south, the world was divided into four realms, and Zhang Shuye was the director of the southern road! This Shu Ye is a famous loyal minister in history. Song Qinzong ordered the Four Dao Qin Kings in the world. Only Zhang Shuye led the troops to come. The other three Dao have not come yet.

"Master Li and Master Zhang are the mainstays of the world, they are far better than Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and the like! With them, there is hope for defending Kaifeng!" Wang De said excitedly.

"Speak carefully, don't be heard!" Zhao Chen hurriedly said.

Wang De despises Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan here. If someone hears him, report it to Zhang Bangchang and Li Bangyan's ears, I'm afraid Wang De can't eat it! Wang De is Zhao Chen's "love general", and Zhao Chen doesn't want him to have any accidents!

The news of Li Gang and Zhang Shuye's arrival spread throughout Kaifeng City, and it seems that the entire Kaifeng City soldiers and civilians have confidence! However, Zhao Chen knew that it was impossible to stop the Jin Bing with two people alone. The court and army of the Song Dynasty had been rotten from the root, and now it is difficult for anyone to turn the tide! He is still paying close attention to the news of Jin Bing!

In the next few days, battle reports continued to be heard, and the Jin Jun was still unstoppable!

In mid-October, the weather is getting colder and colder!

In the morning, Jujingyuan was all white, the color of frost! Had it been as a student, Zhao Chen would have dressed extremely thickly and hid in the room, but now he is standing in the Jujing Garden in a single shirt! After several months of practice, the internal strength was successful, and he didn't feel cold!

Zhao Chen practiced swordsmanship for a while while Wang De was instructing him.

At this moment, several eunuchs ran over here, and these eunuchs looked surprised.

"What happened?" Zhao Chen stopped and said.

"His Royal Highness, overjoyed, overjoyed!"

"Great rejoicing? The Golden Soldiers invaded, what can we have now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Jin Bing sent someone to negotiate a peace!" The leading **** said with a smile on his face.
