Volume 3 Iron and Blood Chapter 217 Brothers Meet (II)
"Well, he's the fifth brother. I haven't seen him for many years, but he has improved a lot in kung fu, and you don't know that if he hadn't been shocked by my identity at the beginning, even if I had the advantage of weapons, I am afraid that I would not be his opponent. Deng Yun bowed slightly, revealing a somewhat relieved smile. Ji Qing and Huo Rui next to him suddenly changed color when they heard this. Wu Bo exclaimed even more in surprise, and said quickly: "That young general is so powerful, even the commander is not his opponent!?" ”
"Huh. Old Wu is a little restless. If it is rumored in the world now, I am a genius who is difficult to come out of a century. My fifth brother is a hero who is difficult to come out of a thousand years, and a hero is born in troubled times, he will be the head of many heroes in the world, standing on the top of the strong, looking down on the heroes. Deng Yun laughed softly, his eyes flashed with a burst of essence, and there was a bit of pride in his eyes. When Wu Bo heard this, he was immediately stunned.
At this time, Mr. Ghost suddenly asked with a little urgency, "What is the golden vulture compared to!?" ”
"Even if the Golden Vulture has a demonic body, if you don't use intrigue and trickery, you will definitely lose if you play against my fifth brother in a dignified manner! The talent of my fifth brother is ten times better than mine! ”
Deng Yun sank, his heart did not beat and said lightly, and the words seemed to hit Mr. Ghost's heart.
"Defeat... Undoubtedly...? Mr. Ghost said with a loud voice, he originally thought that the world was so big, if he could find someone who could hope to make the Golden Vulture bend his waist, except for Deng Yun, there would be no one else. But now, he actually heard Deng Yun personally admit that an unknown young general is much stronger than Deng Yun's own skills, how can he accept it for a while?
Deng Yun pondered for a while, and suddenly seemed to have made a decision, and said to Ji Qing and Huo Rui: "Third brother, fourth brother, you and others will lead the brothers back to Daxing Mountain first." I have some urgent matters to attend to. ”
On the other side, it was said that Yue Fei led the army back to the camp, and it was getting dark, so he came to see Liu Tao first. Liu Tao saw Yue Fei's frowns deep, his face was strange, and he was about to stop, knowing that this matter was extraordinary, so he called to retreat and talk to Yue Fei alone.
"There's no one left or right now, you can say it." Liu Tao stepped down from the high stairs and gently patted Yue Fei's shoulder, and the two were very close. Yue Fei's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "I don't know what Lord Xuanfu thinks of my eldest brother?" ”
"Are you talking about the 'dragon barbarian' Deng Yun?" Liu Tao's face changed, and when he saw Yue Fei nodded, he frowned and said: "Although this person has not been in the army for a long time, he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and he is powerful Yanyun, and the younger generation of the dynasty worships him, and he will become a pillar of the country in the future." How? But he sent a message to call you? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Tao couldn't help but show a little dislike. Although Deng Yun is now very famous, he is still a few ranks lower than himself in terms of military rank, not to mention his qualifications, he dares to not even say hello, he wants to poach people from his command. And Yue Fei's talent is amazing, Liu Tao originally wanted to vigorously promote and cultivate, let him become an important general in the army, and make more contributions to the court in the future, so that he will have a bright face.
"No, I enlisted in the army here with Lord Xuanfu, and I didn't tell my eldest brother, Lord Xuanfu doesn't have to worry too much. The meaning of the last general is, I don't know Lord Xuanfu, do you think my eldest brother is a loyal and righteous person? Yue Fei's face tightened, and then he asked again. When Liu Tao heard this, his expression improved, and he replied without thinking: "Although I have never seen your eldest brother. But according to what I have heard in recent years, and the praise of the old general Zong, your eldest brother is not a traitor, and he can even be said to be righteous and even more loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
However, it was said that Liu Tao was a subordinate general under Zong Ze back then, and the two often exchanged letters. When Yue Fei heard this, he was also relieved in his heart, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed: "The last general is incompetent and did not intercept that group of horse thieves. It was all because the last general was ineffective in fighting at that time, and he was shocked by the identity of the head of the horse thief! ”
When Liu Tao heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and his face was surprised, and then he thought about the foreshadowing that Yue Fei had done before, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that this horse thief is the leader, it is your big brother Dragon Barbarian!?" ”
"Exactly! Lord Xuanfu and listen to the last general's words first. The last general dares to vouch for his life, and my eldest brother has no disagreement with the court. This time, disguised as a horse thief and thrown into Daxing Mountain, there must be a big reason. Please also give Lord Xuanfu some time to investigate this matter thoroughly at the end! ”
Yue Fei spoke sharply, his eyes firm. Liu Tao's expression changed, and he was puzzled, and he couldn't understand why Deng Yun appeared here.
"Get up. Your eldest brother is a key general in the court, and he is also a loyal and righteous man, and he is deeply appreciated by the old general. Ben Xuanfu believed that he would not disagree. It's just that Yan Yun hasn't calmed down yet, why did he leave without permission and come to join this big mountain? Could it be!? ”
A thought suddenly rose in Liu Tao's mind, his face was full of shock, and he continued: "A few months ago, His Majesty sent Liang Sicheng to Yanyun to hand over. This Liang Sicheng is treacherous and cunning, but he is a minister of calamity, but he is deeply favored by His Majesty. Could it be that Yanyun made trouble because of this, and a great change happened!? ”
Just when Liu Tao exclaimed, suddenly Yue Fei's face changed, and he suddenly looked at Liu Tao and jumped away. At this moment, there was a tearing sound in a corner of the tent, and a figure was seen rushing in. Seeing this, Liu Tao's complexion changed greatly, thinking that it was already night, thinking that he was an assassin and was about to drink.
"Liu Xuanfu don't panic. I have no ill will. This familiar voice made Yue Fei's face change again, and he reacted quickly, and quickly turned his head and whispered: "Lord Xuanfu, this person is my brother-in-law!" ”
Liu Tao was shocked when he heard this, he had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he would not be so easily alarmed, and he thought that this dragon barbarian dared to break into the military camp alone at night, it can be seen that he came sincerely, so his expression sank, and he bowed his head slightly: "General Deng's name is like thunder, Ben Xuanfu wanted to see it a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to be like this." ”
"The murder of a traitor is a last resort. If Liu Xuanfu is willing, Deng is willing to say it carefully. If you don't believe Deng, even if you order someone to arrest him, Deng will never resist. I saw that Deng Yun's face was calm, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy, but there was a sense of openness.
"Good! For the sake of General Zong, and for your sake of capturing Yanjing for the Great Song Dynasty, I will listen to you. Yue Fei, you go outside to guard, don't let people come in casually. Liu Tao said sharply, but the latter sentence was for Deng Yun. Of course, no matter which general, someone breaks into his camp at night, if he enters a no-man's land, his face will not be able to hang up.
When Yue Fei heard this, he promised to make a promise, and when he left, he couldn't help but glance at Deng Yun with a little worry. For some reason, the meeting after a few years made him feel that his eldest brother seemed to have experienced a lot of suffering, suffered a lot of grievances, changed a lot of people, and there was still an indescribable pathos in his eyes.
Deng Yun saw that Yue Fei was in good spirits, and he was much stronger than before, so he smiled. Yue Fei's heart twitched, and he couldn't wait to recognize Deng Yun immediately, telling him how much he had missed him over the years, and how many times he couldn't help but want to go to Yanyun to meet him.
It turns out that Yue Fei is also arrogant, the reason why he enlisted in Liu Tao at the beginning, in addition to being instructed by his mother-in-law to order him to get familiar with the army first and then make plans, Yue Fei himself does not want to be looked down upon by Deng Yun, and hopes that when he can be alone, he will recognize each other and assist him.
However, listening to what Deng Yunshicai said, he seemed to have suffered a great humiliation. Yue Fei was melancholy in his heart, silently withdrew his eyes, and forcibly came out of the account.
After a while, only Deng Yun and Liu Tao were left in the tent, and the two looked at each other. Liu Tao is over 50 years old, with thick eyebrows and fine eyes, seven feet tall, and his face is fierce and dignified. At the same time, Liu Tao was also looking at Deng Yun, seeing that he didn't say that he had three heads and six arms, as if he had three heads and six arms, and the gods descended to earth, but he was just an ordinary person. But from his calmness and courage to break into the barracks at night, it can also be seen that he is by no means an ordinary person. Unconsciously, both of them have a bit of respect for each other.
Tao made a gesture, and instead of walking to the first seat of the high order, he made the left seat. Deng Yun smiled lightly, turned around and sat on the right seat. The two sat opposite each other. Deng Yun is not hypocritical, he is calm and relaxed, that is, he will talk about what has happened in the past few months. Although Liu Tao is a veteran of the battlefield, he listened to the repeated changes, the conspiracies and tricks were different, and the situation was urgent and tense, and he couldn't help but change his face greatly, fidgeting, and wanted to interrupt Deng Yun's detailed questioning several times, but he couldn't help it.
It was about the time of a cup of tea, Deng Yun finished speaking, his expression sank, and he said lightly: "Later, Liu Dutong died, and I was afraid that my father and mother would be affected, so I came back to take a look first." Please don't worry about it. When I saw my father and mother, I would immediately rush back to Xinzhou to resist the Jin army and defend the territory. ”
Liu Tao listened to it and muttered for a while, no matter how much of what Deng Yun said was true, but from his aura, Liu Tao really couldn't see the slightest hypocrisy, but the righteous and awe-inspiring look made him even a little ashamed, and he couldn't have any doubts.
Liu Tao got up suddenly, and bowed deeply to Deng Yun. Deng Yun didn't expect Liu Tao to make such a move, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly got up to return the salute.
"General Deng is so righteous, but he was framed by the Liang thief and fell here. Although Liu is an old minister in the court, he doesn't know how to help, he is really ashamed! Liu Tao seemed to have believed the facts of Deng Yun's words, and said with a condensation.
"I have sent someone to inform General Zongze of this matter, hoping that something will change. However, it inevitably aroused the suspicion of the imperial court, and asked Liu Xuanfu to keep Deng's appearance secret for the time being. Great kindness, Deng is unforgettable! Deng Yun bowed his hand and bowed. Liu Tao listened, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but hesitate, if this matter was discovered, it would be a major crime of covering up the thief, but then he thought that Deng Yun led a group of people with lofty ideals for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, and spilled his blood on the front line without hesitation, and made great achievements, and finally did not hesitate to lose his reputation in order to save Liu Yanqing, which is really lamentable. Thinking about it now, the court has not yet announced Deng Yun's guilt, as long as you are careful, it should be fine, at least you can ask for peace of mind.
"Well, that's fine. However, it is also hoped that General Deng will be limited to half a month, and he must leave Daxing Mountain after half a month. Don't teach me to be embarrassed. Also, if the imperial court judges General Deng as a thief, I should enforce the law impartially and truthfully report General Deng's whereabouts. If there is any offense at that time, please don't blame General Deng. Liu Tao sighed, and his face gradually became stern.
When Deng Yun heard this, he smiled and said lightly: "Naturally." This kindness, whether Deng Mou can avenge his grievances in the future, he will definitely repay him! ”
"Traitors are in power, justice is difficult to survive, and there are very few people in the world who can still have benevolence and righteousness in their hearts. We can't help ourselves. Although you and I have never met, I have heard a lot about General Deng, and I really admire him. Your fifth brother even takes you as a role model and exercises hard day and night. ”
