Golden Greenery

Yang Yi hurried towards Hangzhou Mansion. He was worried about the safety of his junior brother Lu Yan.

Hangzhou Prefecture fell, and Fang La's army broke through Hangzhou's city defenses in just one day. Before that, Hangzhou was considered impregnable by everyone.

Tong Guan led the Yanzhou Western Army to the south to destroy Fangla, and Song Jiang led the Liangshan Army as the vanguard.

Hu Baoyi Song Jiang must be the most incredible person in the entire Song Dynasty. His martial arts strength is at most the same as that of Mu Yue when he was driven out of the Tang Dynasty by Li Bai. His literary talent is also very poor. He wrote two anti-poems in Xunyang Tower to express his ideas. Straightforward and doesn't rhyme.

Poems were written by the people of the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, all truly literate people wrote lyrics.

Song Jiang was ambitious. When he was drunk, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao for being timid, but he had no ambition. When he sobered up, he only wanted to recruit people. He is not even tall and looks a bit dark.

But he is such a mediocre person in all aspects, but he has unparalleled personal charm. He set up a banner on Liangshan Mountain, and talented people from all over the country, martial artists, and down-and-out generals from the imperial court came to join him.

This is really incredible.

Under the leadership of Song Jiang, Shuibo Liangshan became the most powerful armed group among the rebel forces of the Song Dynasty. If Song Jiang established a Jianghu sect based on this, Liangshan would be on par with the Shaolin Temple and the Beggar Clan. If he "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand", the Liangshan military group may also shake the foundation of Zhao and Song's rule.

But Song Jiang finally chose to accept the recruitment with his 107 brothers and sisters and 50,000 soldiers. In fact, from that moment on, his personal charm began to dissipate, and the mood in Juyi Hall also reached a low point.

The Liangshan Army, which had become alienated and seriously underestimated the enemy, was defeated by Fang La in Shezhou. As many as 43 generals died in battle or died of injuries, including Xu Ning, Dong Ping, Suo Chao, Liu Tang, Ruan Er, Shi Jin, etc. A senior general, great martial artist and early founder of Liangshan.

Later, Song Jiang was eager for revenge, and also wanted to show his merit before the arrival of Tong Guan's Western Army. He was ambushed by Fang La's army in Qingxi, and again lost his troops. Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, Lei Heng, Shi Xiu, Ruan Wu and others were killed. , and among them there is also a fierce general called "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng.

Liangshan was defeated, and almost all the remaining soldiers were injured. Lin Chong also suffered from a stroke and became ill after that.

Song Jiang's defeated troops waited for the Western Army. Tong Guan expressionlessly divided the Liangshan Army into pieces and became part of the Western Army's rear army. A defeated general has no right to speak. Song Jiang and everyone in Liangshan silently accepted the reality that the Liangshan Army as a whole no longer existed.

The Western Army was strong, and Fang La's army took a circuitous route towards the Huangshan Mountains.

The Western Army was chasing after them, but they were just Fang La's suspects. His main army took the opportunity to jump out of the battle circle and rushed to the gates of Hangzhou overnight.

The city wall of Hangzhou is tall and climbs southward. There are 20,000 elite soldiers stationed in the city. All eight city gates are equipped with urns. Without more than ten times the number of troops and continuous siege for a long time, it is impossible to break it.

But Fang La did not follow common sense. He held high the banner of "Holy King" and commanded the army to attack Qingchun Gate. Fahai monks Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, Pang Wanchun, Fang Jie and others led a group of martial artists with good water skills. Fengshan Shuimen, who was guarding the void, sneaked in and set fire everywhere in the city.

The city of Hangzhou was in chaos, so it collapsed without attacking. One day later, Hangzhou officials and defenders either died or surrendered. A few days later, Tong Guan learned of the trap and hurriedly returned to rescue Hangzhou. At this time, Hangzhou was transformed into the impregnable city in Fang La's hands.

After the news came back to Bianliang, the capital was shocked. Yang Yi's first thought was the safety of his junior brother Lu Yan.

Xiao Lu is not a member of the government, and he has a very high reputation among the people. What's more, with Xiao Lu's current attainments in swordsmanship, even if he encounters an enemy like Murong from the north of Xiao Feng in the past, although he still can't defeat him, he won't be able to escape safely. Disaster.

But the problem is that the people in Fang La are the Ming sect, which is a mixture of Central Plains Buddhism and demon sect. They will not be friendly to the Taoist immortal Lu Yan. Moreover, White Snake's father was an official of the Left-behind Department in Hangzhou and a member of the Song Dynasty government. Lu Yan would not leave his wife and father-in-law behind.

Yang Yi didn't dare to hesitate, didn't say hello to anyone, didn't even get on the boat, and hurried to Hangzhou overnight.

It took the sheep six days to travel two thousand five hundred miles, and seven horses were exhausted. At this moment, he had the same feeling as when Senior Brother Yuan flew thousands of miles to save Yang Yi five hundred years ago.

In fact, he was not sure whether Xiao Lu was in danger at all. Maybe when he was galloping south along the official road, Xiao Lu and White Snake were leisurely taking a boat to the north, but he did not dare to sit and wait.

When Yang Yi arrived in Hangzhou, Tong Guan had already surrounded the city on both sides, leaving the Wulin Gate in the north unblocked, which could wear down Fang La's army's will to resist. To the west of Hangzhou City is the West Lake and the Qiantang River. Even if Fang Lajun rushes out from here, he will die.

West Lake is outside the city of Hangzhou, and the homes of Lu Yan and Bai Niangzi are by the Xiling Bridge in West Lake. This area is not a war zone between the two sides. Yang Yi had no other place to inquire about Lu Yan, so he had to come here first to find out.

Compared with other places in Hangzhou that are littered with corpses and broken limbs, the West Lake is relatively peaceful. Only the faint sound of trebuchet bombardment can make people feel that the tragic war is around them.

The gate of Lu's courtyard was closed. Looking through the fence, there was no light in Lu Yan's house. No one answered the door when the sheep called.

Leading the horse and pushing the door open, Yang Yi pulled out his sword and held it in his hand, fully alert. Leaving the horse in the courtyard, the skilled man was brave and walked straight into Xihei's house.

No one is home.

But by the moonlight, we could see that the house was in a mess, and it was obvious that a fierce fight had taken place. As soon as the sheep continued to explore the backyard, the place was almost destroyed. There were even large blood stains on the ground, and the blood had dried up.

Returning to the main hall of the Lu family, Yang Yi lit up the candlesticks, straightened the tables and chairs, and began to sit down and rest. After six days of galloping, he was exhausted.

After resting until the fifth watch, Yang Yi took out the dried meat and wine from his bag, had a good meal, and then closed his eyes to rest. Until daybreak, Yangyi stripped himself naked in the biting cold morning, carried two buckets of stream water, and poured it down from his head.

Tie up your hair, take out the silk jacket from your luggage and put it on, put on the wild goose feather armor, and then put on the tight short jacket. He tightened his leggings, tightened the laces of his boots, and wrapped a strip of cloth around the hilt of the Qingfeng sword in his palm.

After doing all this, Yang Yi put his stirrup back on his horse, took a deep breath, and urged the horse to rush straight towards the Xizhao Mountain on the south bank of the West Lake, never looking back.

On the wall of the main hall of the Lu family, there is a line of eye-catching characters.

——Huang Shang, if you want Lu Yan to survive, come to Leifeng Pagoda.
