Shao Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief and finally kept the handsome flag. Only then did he begin to pay attention to the general who knocked down Peng Yibin, seeing that he had captured three sub-flags at this time, his horse was quick and quick, and he clashed back and forth in the two armies as if he had entered a no-man's land, and repelled the Red Wo Army that came to seize the commander's flag several times.

Finally, I only heard a gong sound, and the time for the competition ended. As a result of the calculation, the Red Jacket Army won a total of thirteen sub-flags, and Shao Hongyuan's side only had seven sub-flags, but the Shuai Banner was not taken after all, and the loss was not too ugly. And the one who captured the most flags was the general, and he alone won five secondary flags. In fact, if he hadn't been there, Shao Hongyuan's handsome banner would have been taken away long ago.

Zhao Kai immediately summoned both sides to the martial arts platform, praised Li Quan a few words, and ordered Li Quan to be rewarded with 3,000 expensive money as a reward. Shao Hongyuan, who hated the side, only gritted his teeth. Zhao Kai saw it in his eyes, but he didn't think about it, and in his opinion, it was not a bad thing to establish a sense of competition between the two.

Then Zhao Kai called the player who captured the most flags to the stage. Seeing that this man was still very young, but twenty-seven or eighteen years old, burly and dignified, he was in good spirits, and asked, "What is your name?" What did you do before? ”

That general said: "The general is not called Chen Yichao." It was guided by Mr. Zong and cast under the command of the prince. ”

It turned out that this person was Chen Yichao, since he was kicked out of the barracks by Yang Yan, he felt that he had no face to return to his hometown, and he didn't want to join the army again, so he could only wander around. Once passing by a barren mountain, was robbed by a group of thieves, Chen Yichao killed the thief, all the thieves saw that he was strong in martial arts, they all intended to serve him as the master, Chen Yichao had nowhere to go, so he became a thief. Later, when the Jin army invaded, Zhao Kai was recruiting troops in Jianning Mansion, and Chen Yichao took more than 300 people under his command and defected to Jianning Mansion.

It happened to be Zong Tianxuan who met him, now Chen Yichao's marksmanship is excellent, and he has also been in the army before, and later asked in detail to know that Chen Yichao was originally driven out of the army because he offended Yang Yan, so Zong Tianxuan immediately took him in and gave him a position of deputy general.

Now seeing Zhao Kai asking, Zong Tianxuan simply explained Chen Yichao's origin. Zhao Kai and Yang Yan already had a holiday, and when they heard that Chen Yichao also had a relationship with Yang Yan, they didn't feel that their good impression of him had increased by another point, and they immediately appointed Chen Yichao as the commander. In this way, although Shao Hongyuan lost this competition, Chen Yichao earned him a lot of face, and he was balanced.

After taking care of these things, Zhao Kai and Zong Tianxuan returned to the temporary palace of Jianning Mansion together, it turned out that after arriving at Jianning Mansion, Zhao Kai had pulled out a big mansion for Zong Tianxuan as a residence, and there were all kinds of maids, but Zong Tianxuan thought that he was just single and did not need such a big residence, so he politely declined. Lodge in only one temple. Zhao Kai really couldn't look past it, so he had to invite Zong Tianxuan to the temporary palace again, so that the problem of Zong Tianxuan's residence could be solved.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Zhao Wanru ran out of the inner room with a scripture, brother, you are back. "I saw Mr. Zong Tianxuan at a glance, you must go to the military training with my brother Wang again, and next time you go to drill the army, you must take me with you."

Zong Tianxuan smiled slightly, seeing that Zhao Wanru was dressed in a strong suit, holding a sword, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, obviously he had danced the sword, and he owed his body a little well. ”

Zhao Kai couldn't help but smile and said: "Twelve Niang, you dance with swords like this all day long, there is a woman there, how can you get it in the future?" ”

Zhao Wanru pouted and said that women can't practice martial arts, aren't Liuniang and Jiuniang also dancing and swordsmanship all day long, aren't they also very good now? You can also go to the battlefield to fight. I envy them. ”

Zhao Kai was a little displeased and said: "Fighting is a man's business, how can you go to the battlefield if you have a daughter's family?" Don't learn female red embroidery, only learn to dance knives and swords, how to marry in the future. Look at Jiu Niang, she can only marry a martial artist like Yang Yan. Look at Liuniang again, she is about to become an old girl, and she has not found a colt, so in the end, she can only go with Yang Yan. ”

Zhao Wanru said unhappily: "What's wrong with that old goat, I think Jiuniang likes him very much." And I heard that the people were praising him, saying that he could defeat the Jin army? "Turning to Mr. Zong Tianxuan again, did you say?"

Zong Tianxuan didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Lord Wang, you and the county lord's brothers and sisters must have something to say, so you will retire first." ”

Looking at Zong Tianxuan's back from the ascension, Zhao Kai suddenly thought about Erniang, after the New Year, you will be sixteen years old, and it is time to find you a home. ”

Zhao Wanru was stunned for a moment, and her face was slightly dizzy: "Second brother, so dignified, why did you talk about this?" ”

Zhao Kai smiled slightly, the big one should get married, the big woman should get married, why can't you talk about your marriage, you can't keep the second brother for a lifetime. Look at Mr. Zong. You ......"

The little girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she stomped her feet, brother, I won't tell you. As he spoke, he turned and ran away.

Zhao Kai smiled slightly, what he just thought of was that if Zhao Wanru was married to Zong Tianxuan, the two could add a layer of kinship, which invisibly brought him closer to him. And once he becomes the emperor in the future, Zong Tianxuan is a concubine, according to the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty, the clan cannot be in charge of the government, so there is no need to but the heart of the sect Tianxuan will be the dictatorship of the government. It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, Zhao Wanru is still young, less than sixteen years old, and the situation does not allow it. In another two or three years, it will be enough. But it's time to settle the marriage between the two.

Jokhang Temple is a large temple in Longxing Province, and the incense is very vigorous. After Guangyan arrived in Longxing Mansion, he lived in the Jokhang Temple. Because Guangyan is very famous and is a friend of Yang Yan, the monks in the Jokhang Temple respect him very much. Not only did he pull out a separate meditation room for Guangyan to live in, but also sent two little novices to serve Guangyan's daily life.

On this day, Guangyan welcomed one of his guests. It is the monk Zhikong of Lin'an Qixia Temple.

The two thought that they were old friends, and they were naturally very happy to meet in Longxing Mansion. After the guest and host sat down and served the tea, Guang Yancai said: "Hasn't Senior Brother been in Qixia Temple in Lin'an?" Why did you suddenly come to Longxing Mansion? ”

Zhikong smiled slightly As soon as he went to Guangnan, he didn't write for several months, I heard that Yang Yan was in Longxing Mansion to resist the Jin army, and I thought that you would definitely be here, so I rushed here. "I sighed again, I didn't want to see the faces of those golden people again, so I left Lin'an."

Guangyan said: "Is it difficult for the Jin people to scratch Rao to go to Qixia Temple?" ”

Zhikong shook his head and said yes yet, but now in Lin'an City, it is all Jin Jun who has the final say, even if he is a pawn, he can do whatever he wants in Lin'an City. The most hateful thing is the Song people who are on errands under the Jin people, who are even more fierce and bad than the Jin people, and many bad ideas are made by these people. ”

Guangyan also smiled bitterly at the people of the country, all of them. Then he turned to the two novices and said, "You don't need to serve here, you all go down." ”

The two little novices and the two monks bowed and both withdrew from the door. At this time, there were only two monks in the room, and Zhikong said in a low voice: "Senior brother, haven't you always planned to persuade Yang Yan to succeed?" I think now is the right time, have you persuaded him? ”

Guangyan nodded and said lightly, "I tested him once before. ”

Zhikong said: "What did he say? ”

Guangyan told Zhikong about his conversation with Yang Yan. After hearing this, Zhikong was quite disappointed and said: "It seems that Yang Yan really has no ambition to seize the world, and I am afraid that my senior brother's efforts over the years have been wasted." ”

Guang Yan smiled slightly, the poor monk's opinion is just the opposite of that of his senior brother, I think Yang Yan will seize the world sooner or later, and this day will never be far away. ”

How can Zhikong be stunned? ”

Guangyan said: "Senior brother has said before that Yang Yan is not a person who is keen on power, so if he wants to have the heart to conquer the world, how can he be able to do it overnight." In fact, my words only planted a seed in his heart, so that he knew that he now has the ability to influence the general trend of the world, and this seed will naturally take root and sprout, and once the external conditions are ripe, it can grow into a towering tree. ”

Zhikong said: "I don't know what the external conditions that Senior Brother is talking about? ”

Guangyan said: "Although the crown prince is now succeeded to the throne by the scriptures, no matter from that point of view, he is thousands of miles worse than the first emperor. When the first emperor was there, although he was always on guard against Yang Yan, once he enabled Yang Yan, he was completely trusted, never restrained, and there was also Yu Xiang by his side, so he could relieve his doubts at any time, so he would never believe slander. And the new monarch has a cowardly personality and has no opinions, this kind of monarch is most likely to be deceived by villains and mistakenly believe slander. Although the ministers Chen Junqing and Han Yanzhi around them are loyal and virtuous, they have no choice but to see, read the scriptures, and are not as good as Yu Xiang, and Liang Kejia and Hong Shi's generation are even more mediocre people. As for Shi Hao, Long Dayuan's disciples, Zeng Mo and Zhang Shuo's generation, they are all treacherous villains, useless in governing the country and security, jealous and jealous, and they are all experts in telling right and wrong. There is also Empress Li's maiden home, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With them by the side of the Son of Heaven, I don't have to worry about getting things done. ”

Zhikong said: "Senior brother means, will they come up with a second 'unnecessary'?" ”

Guang Yan smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, a gentleman can't fight a villain, it's all like this. However, although Yang Yan is not a person who is keen on power, he is not a foolish and filial person, once the matter comes to a life-and-death juncture, with his character, he will definitely fight hard and will never sit still. But at that point, I'm afraid there is only one way to go. ”

Only then did Zhikong understand, put his hands together, and recited the Buddha's horn, Brother Gaojian, and the poor monk admired. ”
