Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 389
Yue Ying and Li Wenxuan spent the night in the wheat field. Although the sky was the bed and the earth was the bed, the two of them supported each other and slept next to each other. The sweetness in their hearts was endless, so how could they care about a little bit of dewy wheat? stalk?It was a coincidence that the two of them woke up at the same time when the sky was just getting bright on the second day. They looked at each other with a smile, and Yue Ying slipped into Li Wenxuan's arms like a bunny. As a result, the two of them naturally no longer regretted the misunderstanding yesterday.

Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying talked for a long time in the wheat field, seeing that there were almost pedestrians on the road, so they had no choice but to leave this temporary nest last night, and found another breakfast stall to fill their stomachs, and then went to He planned to go back to the Dongting Water Gang, but when he arrived at the city gate, he saw that there were more than twice as many guards at the gate as when he entered the city yesterday, and yesterday's guards knocked on them all listlessly. These people are all full of energy, and they are all healthy people in terms of physique.

Yue Ying had been in the military camp for a long time, and knew that the city gate usually only sent extra manpower at noon and evening. It must be something strange that the city gate suddenly added a lot of elite guards this morning, so she went to find The soldiers inquired, and after asking, they found out that last night, the vanguard of the Yue Family Army who conquered Yang Yao had already stationed outside the city of Yuezhou. It was only then that the defense was strengthened, but then Yue Ying wanted to ask who was the leader of the forward of the Yue Family Army, but the soldier refused to say more.

Yue Ying knew that the general of the forward army was either her elder brother Yue Yun or her father who had personally led the battle. She had been away from home for so long, and she was very happy when she thought that they would meet again in a blink of an eye. However, when Li Wenxuan thought of the two sides The battle was imminent, and the two sides were acquaintances, but she felt very uncomfortable. Seeing this, Yue Ying was afraid of making Li Wenxuan even more unhappy, so she put away her smile and said, "Wenxuan, I don't know if my father has arrived or not. , I have to go to my father today and tell him what happened to us in the past few days, or we won't go back to the Dongting water gang, how about it?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Okay, it's up to you, are we going now?"

Yue Ying smiled and said: "Of course it is now, but this time it's not us."

Li Wenxuan said: "Why, you're still angry with me and won't invite me to join you."

Yue Ying blushed, pointed to the finger marks on Li Wenxuan's face and said, "Look, you look like this... no matter if my brother or someone else sees it, they will laugh at you or me. Ah? No matter what, we are both ashamed!"

Li Wenxuan understood at the moment, nodded again and again, and said: "Yeah, indeed, it's really ugly for them to see this appearance, a joke is still a trivial matter, if your father asks, I don't know how to explain it, and even if it is Going back to the Dongting Water Gang is too embarrassing now, why don't we simply find an inn in Yuezhou to stay for two or three days, and let's go back when I can no longer see it on my face!"

Yue Ying was either busy with serious business these few days, or bored in the Dongting water gang. Those people all knew that she was Yue Fei's daughter, and they respected Yue Ying in every possible way, for fear of offending her, but the more respectful they were My dear, the more bored Yue Ying felt, she wanted to come out a long time ago to get some air. Hearing that Li Wenxuan said that he would live in Yuezhou for a few days, naturally it fit her heart.

Immediately, the two found an inn to settle down, and then Yue Ying went out of the city to find the camp of the Yue Family Army, and Li Wenxuan went to find the Xiangtang of the Dongting Water Gang in Yuezhou City. A message, saying that he and Yue Ying had something to stay in Yuezhou City for two days, and told him not to worry, and said that the Yue family army had arrived in Yuezhou, reminding Hu Yu to call the gang members less in recent days.

Li Wenxuan finished the matter and returned to the inn. Yue Ying went back and forth without delay, and returned to the inn just after noon, with a smile on her face and a bit shy, Li Wenxuan asked: "Yingying, What is so happy, you saw your father?"

Yue Ying said: "No, my father is stationed in Tanzhou, and outside Yuezhou City are my brother's soldiers and horses. I only see my brother."

Li Wenxuan said: "Can you tell your brother what happened these days? What are we going to do in the future?"

Yue Ying smiled and said: "Of course I told my brother everything, he praised me, scolded me, and finally complained about you!"

Li Wenxuan asked: "Why is this? What did we do wrong, why did you scold you? What else do I have to complain about?"

Yue Ying said: "Not only are we right, but we also deserve credit. I have to see how my father rewards us this time. Don't you know that Liu Heng sent people to my brother's military camp early this morning, He said that he was willing to betray Yang Yao and return to the imperial court. My brother was overjoyed when he heard it, and now he probably told someone to give the news to my father immediately. Also, that Liu Heng is really not bad, he sent Half of the people are talking about surrender, and generally speaking of good things, you don’t know, I’m so happy there.”

Yue Ying was very proud, and continued: "Then I told my brother about Yang Qin. My brother was happy at first, saying that since there are so many Yang Qin, at least the two sides will not help each other, and it will be a matter of time before they surrender. , but my brother then scolded me for being too ignorant, saying that what I did was too risky!"

Li Wenxuan interjected: "Your brother is right. The trip we went to find Yang Qin was indeed extremely dangerous. I told you not to let you go. You must listen to me!"

Yue Ying said: "So, you knew the danger was extremely dangerous and didn't stop me, but you still went with me. Do you think my brother can not blame you?"

Li Wenxuan was speechless, and said in his heart: "I tried my best to stop you, but you always said you didn't talk to me, I was forced to go." Then thinking about what Yue Yun said was right, he could only say: "That's all, that's all , Fortunately, everything was safe and sound, which is considered a great fortune, I don't know what else we will do in the future?"

Yue Ying lowered her head, she seemed a little shy, and said slowly: "My brother told us to go back to Lin'an together, saying it was my father's intention."

"Back to Lin'an?" Li Wenxuan looked at Yue Ying's expression, and immediately remembered the agreement the two of them had left the city at that time. At that time, Li Wenxuan said that when they returned to Lin'an, they would come to propose marriage in a dignified way. Now Dongting has nothing to do with the two of them. Speaking of going back was good, but Li Wenxuan frowned and said, "This... this..."

Yue Ying knew what Li Wenxuan was thinking, and sighed: "Wenxuan, you are not really confused, you still want to save Yang Yao's child, right? I will tell you, my brother's soldiers and horses just landed last night , Yang Yao sent people to attack the barracks at night, but they failed to attack at night, and were chased by my brother's army instead, and they were defeated immediately. Yang Yao and the others are not my father and my brother's opponents at all, defeat is a matter of time, this is their Destined fate, although you are kind enough to save that child, why don't you think about it, he is the descendant of the traitor, don't say whether you can save him, even if you save him, having him by your side is a disaster It's endless!"

Li Wenxuan said: "Yingying, have you forgotten? When we were at Yang Qin's water village two days ago, you talked to Yang Qin about the morality between friends and brothers. You also said in front of Yang Qin that I promised Liu Zhenzhen this I saw that you agreed with me at the time, why...how did you change your mind at this time?"

Yue Ying said anxiously: "You...you save him, then you are partying with the rebels, are you, are you so confused? If you save him, I...what should I do?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I'll take that child away and find a proper place to settle it. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you're careful in the middle and don't show your feet?"

Yue Ying shook her head and said, "Wenxuan, why do you think things are so simple? This time to encircle Yang Yao, the court dispatched a total of 20 soldiers and horses, not to mention whether you can seriously save that child, even if you can temporarily Take him away, you have to think clearly, if you don't see the child when you count the dead bodies, how many people will come to inquire about the child's whereabouts? You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. Sooner or later, someone will find out That day, that is also the time when your catastrophe will come!"

Li Wenxuan took out the gold medal from his bosom, and said, "It's rare that Ms. Liu trusts me so much and entrusts me with this gold medal. You say... how can I keep my word?"

Yue Ying said anxiously: "You...you are too confused!"

As for Yang Yao's child, Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying couldn't agree on whether Li Wenxuan should go to save him or not, but after some disputes, they disagreed, so naturally they couldn't go back to Lin'an.The two stayed in the inn for a few days, and then returned to Dongting Water Gang.When it was time for the water gang, seeing that Zhu Xiaodiu and Tian Guohui had reconciled, and they seemed a little closer than before, Yue Ying asked Zhu Xiaodiu to ask, and only then did she know that after what happened that night, Zhu Xiaodiu Xiaodiu complained that Tian Guohui couldn't do anything, and arranged the orphan and widowed mother in a brothel, so Zhu Xiaodiu came up with an idea to take Yang Chun's mother and son to live in the water gang. In fact, Tian Guohui had already meant this, but Worried that Zhu Xiaodiu would not agree, but thinking that Zhu Xiaodiu had brought it up by himself, he was very happy immediately, and offered Zhu Xiaodiu like a baby bump.

After Yang Chun's mother and son arrived at the Dongting water gang, everyone soon knew that they were Yang Fan's family members, and they all took good care of them, with money, silk, rice and food, and everything was taken care of, but what was quite surprising was that, Hu Nansong sent them a lot of money, not to mention, he also gave them a private house outside. Yang Chun's mother and son refused again and again, but in the end they couldn't help it. The next day, Hu Nansong suddenly left a letter to Hu Yu and left without saying goodbye.

Hu Nansong's letter basically said that he was too young, and he was always taken care of by people in the gang. If he kept going on like this, it would be difficult to become a great tool. Contribute, although Hu Yu thought that Hu Nansong's move was very abrupt, and he was alone outside with no one to take care of him. In the future, if you want this son to take over your position, it will be impossible to keep him in the water gang all day long, so you don't worry about it. Instead, you think it's a good thing, and you use it as a guide, and you talk about your son when you meet people. With such a plan, every time I talk about it, I can't help but laugh from ear to ear.

When Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying saw this situation, they also let go of a stone in their hearts. Although it was said that Yang Fan died in vain and could not avenge him, if Hu Nansong really changed his ways, it would be a more beautiful thing than killing him up.

Afterwards, Li Wenxuan and Yue Ying felt that living in Dongting Water Gang for a long time would inevitably cause trouble for others, and because they had nothing else to do at the moment, they found an excuse and moved to an inn in Yuezhou to stay at the inn during the period. Talking to Yue Ying several times, she wanted to see Yue Fei and Yue Yun, but she was stopped by Yue Ying, because Yue Ying knew that Li Wenxuan wanted to explain to Yang Yao's child, and whether this matter was No one would agree or dare to agree. It would be a small thing to ask Li Wenxuan to run into trouble, but if someone has a bad heart and takes advantage of this matter to make a big fuss, the disaster may be serious.

After nearly a month like this, Yue's army and Yang Yao's soldiers and horses were on land and in the water, and the size of them crossed tens of feet. Every time, Yang Yao returned in a big defeat, and countless soldiers, army horses, and warships were captured.The army horses and warships were all collected by Yue Fei for military use. For Yang Yao's subordinates who were captured, Yue Fei did not harm them at all and released them all back. The morale is getting weaker and weaker, and the Yue family's army is not only fighting head-on, but has also sent many soldiers to station around the towns around Dongting to prevent Yang Yao's defeated army from robbing the village. He was restless, for fear of suffering from unreasonable military disasters, but seeing Yue's army's actions, everyone said that Yue's army was an army of benevolence and righteousness.

After the losing streak, Yang Yao never dared to fight again, so he had no choice but to refuse to defend the water village.At the beginning of the battle between the two armies, Yang Qin always found excuses to confuse Yang Yao's order to fight. No matter how dark the sky outside was, Yang Qin never sent out a single soldier, and even if he occasionally saw Yue's army The boats and soldiers also retreated far away, neither side would offend them, and finally saw Yang Yao retreating steadily, his breath was exhausted, he finally became ruthless and asked Yue Fei to surrender.

Yang Qin's name of the number one brave general in Dongting, Yue Fei, has long been known. Hearing that he came to surrender, he immediately went to Yang Qin's water stronghold in a light boat to accept the surrender, and handed over the golden belt and golden armored battle robe he had bestowed on him. As a gift to Yang Qin, Yang Qin admired Yue Fei's courage, and was even more grateful. He wished he could die to repay it. In the next few days, relying on his popularity in Dongting, he persuaded Jin Cong, Liu Shen and others to join him. The big and small leaders who had made good friends surrendered, and other people in the other water villages saw their companions surrendering Yue Fei one after another, so they followed the head of a group of people. The Dongting water army that had just been recruited joined forces, and within a few days, the remaining water villages that refused to surrender were destroyed. In the end, only Yang Yao's Baotai Mountain village and Xia Cheng's water village were left struggling. hold fast.

These days, Li Wenxuan has always been unhappy. Although Yue Ying can't persuade Li Wenxuan, she doesn't quarrel with him. She always tries to please Li Wenxuan and make him happy.On this day, the two of them went to the lakeside for a walk. They saw thousands of masts of warships in the distance, and they were very majestic. Li Wenxuan asked, "Yingying, why are there so many warships suddenly? Are you going to fight Baotai Mountain?" Are you in the camp?"

Yue Ying said: "No... no, they are just threatening Yang Yao, telling him not to go out to fight, and he will be fine when he is sleepy. When there is no food in the stockade, Yang Yao and the others can only capture Yang Yao without a fight. gone."

Li Wenxuan looked at the soldiers on these warships with bright armor and serious expressions, as if they were going to fight for their lives. Naturally, he was skeptical of Yue Ying's words, but he couldn't ask any more questions.

That night, Li Wenxuan tossed and turned, couldn't sleep at night, woke up at dawn, and heard many people in the inn talking about the battle between the Yue family army and Yang Yao's soldiers and horses. In the meantime, the rock-solid Baotai Shanshui Village was destroyed by Yang Qin's plan. Yang Yao led thousands of troops to break through, but lost to the Yue family army and suffered another disastrous defeat. It was sent to the commander-in-chief Xingyuan, but Yang Yao was in the chaos of the army without knowing his life or death.

Li Wenxuan's head twitched, and he turned his head abruptly. Seeing Yue Ying looking at him sadly, Li Wenxuan sighed, "Yingying, you...you already knew they were going to attack Baotai Mountain yesterday, right?"

Yue Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I can only lie to you, I can't just watch you do stupid things, if you want to blame, just blame me!"

Li Wenxuan said: "I don't blame you, I know you are doing it for my own good, you are waiting for me here, I will go back as soon as I go!"

Yue Ying called out, "Where are you going?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I... I want to go over and take a look, maybe... Yingying, if you are doing it for my own good, then don't follow me, okay?"

Li Wenxuan strode out, and vaguely heard Yue Ying sobbing softly behind him, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

Li Wenxuan led Little Skylark, and first ran to the nearest pier. When he got there, he found out that the two sides in Dongting Lake were fighting recently, and the fishermen were ordered not to leave their boats. The pier, which is usually bustling with people, was actually not even a sampan today. Can't find it.

Li Wenxuan then thought: "Since Baotai Shanshui Village has been destroyed, it would be useless for me to go there."

Li Wenxuan galloped along the lake towards a remote place, guessing that even if Yang Yao fled, he would go somewhere inaccessible, so he walked for half a day, watching several Song soldiers lying in the wormwood that was waist-deep in front of him and some water The corpses of the soldiers in the village seemed to have been fought for a while, and they chased after the wormwood in the direction where the wormwood was trampled down.
