Peerless Pirates

Seeing that Qi'er was still hesitant, Song Zheng said: "Don't worry, after this period of contact, you also know what kind of person I am. Your things come out of your mouth and into my ears, and you won't tell anyone."

People. Besides, in this situation, I am the only person you should trust. Although my grandfather died because of your involvement, our enemies are the same group of people. Now we should share the same hatred and overcome difficulties together. Wait for us in the future

Now that you are strong, you will look for opportunities to take revenge."

Qi'er was silent for a while and said: "Okay, I'll tell you right now, you must swear not to let the third person know."

Song Zheng said impatiently: "I swear, it's okay. If I tell others about you, I will be struck by thunder and die badly. Okay, tell me quickly." For people like Song Zheng who came from later generations,

This kind of oath is like talking in a dream, without any binding force.

Qi'er glanced at Song Zheng. He had never seen someone swearing so improperly, so he just said it casually. Song Zheng stared at Qi'er coldly. Qi'er was afraid that Song Zheng would get mad again, so he helplessly said that she and

This time, it was Song Zheng's turn to be dumbfounded by Old Man Gao's story.

The story Qi'er told began more than forty years ago. The old man of the Song Dynasty, Shi Song, joined the army of the Qi Dynasty shortly after Taizong destroyed Queen Lu. Because of his bravery and loyalty in battle, General Han Zhong particularly loved this Shandong province.

soldiers and selected them as personal soldiers (Song Zheng knew that when senior generals in later generations chose guards, they liked to choose Shandong soldiers and Henan soldiers, mainly because they were hard-working and not afraid of death in battle). Han Zhong was highly skilled in martial arts.

He was also very resourceful. He selected eight from his own soldiers and gave them eight weapons: knives, halberds, axes, spears, maces, sickles, hammers, swords, and sticks, and taught them martial arts. These eight people were called

Among the eight iron guards, Mr. Song is one of the stick guards.

At that time, Qiu Ling, who is now Doctor Gao, was Han Zhong's secretary (i.e. secretary, equivalent to a clerk), and was particularly close to Mr. Song. Later, the Jin soldiers invaded Tokyo, and Taizong and Han Zhong led their troops to fight bloody battles. Because of the Jin

The troops were large and the situation was quite tight. Even Taizong was in crisis several times. Before the First World War, Taizong heard that the Xixia army also took the opportunity to invade Luoyang, Xijing, and approached Sishui Pass. Taizong and others faced the threat of being outflanked.

Because of the danger, they had to divide their troops to resist. Due to the small number of troops, Taizong and Han Zhong were surrounded and faced the danger of annihilation. At the time of crisis, Han Zhong ordered Qiu Ling to pretend to be Taizong, and Taizong himself turned into Han Zhong's personal soldier, and then divided his troops to break out of the encirclement.

After a bloody battle, Han Zhong and Taizong broke out, while Qiu Ling, who had become Taizong, was captured by the Jin soldiers.

Taizong and Han Zhong reorganized their forces after fleeing to Taikang. At this time, Li Qianshun, the great emperor of Xixia Chongzong, died of illness, and Xixia had to retreat. The Daqi army that resisted Xixia returned to the army and joined forces with Taizong to attack the Jin soldiers. At that time, Taizong

In order to confuse Jin Bing, he did not show up, but pretended to let his young eldest son Pang Chun succeed to the throne. Under the banner of rescuing Taizong, Da Qi Dynasty attacked Jin Bing with the force of mourning soldiers and drove them back to the north of the Yellow River. At that time, Jin Bing

They thought they had captured Taizong, but had no intention of fighting. After the Jin soldiers returned to the north of the Yellow River, the real Taizong officially appeared in front of the Daqi army.

Since Taizong had stabilized the defense line, the Jin soldiers who returned had lost their vigor and were unable to cross the Yellow River and enter the Central Plains. In anger, the Jin soldiers sent the fake Taizong, who was Qiuling, back to humiliate the Qi Dynasty.

At first, there was a person who was more suitable to pretend to be Taizong than Qiu Ling, and that person was Han Lin, the son of Han Zhong's brother. Han Lin had a similar appearance and body to Taizong, while Qiu Ling was similar in appearance to Taizong, but shorter. However, Han Zhong's elder brother

He also died fighting for the Qi Dynasty, and Han Zhong only had one daughter at the time, so the only descendant of the Han family was Han Lin. Qiu Ling couldn't bear that the Han family had no heirs, so he offered to pretend to be Taizong and raise his boots to make himself

More similar to Taizong. Since the situation was so tense, Han Zhong had no time to think about it and agreed to Qiu Ling's request. Because of this incident, Song Shi, who was close to Qiu Ling, was quite disappointed with Han Zhong.

After the castrated Qiu Ling was returned by the Jin soldiers, Han Zhong ordered him to enter the palace and continue to serve Taizong. Song Shi was even more disgusted with Han Zhong and believed that Han Zhong was disrespectful to his subordinates, so he insisted on quitting the army and returning home to farm.

Loyalty and hardship yielded no results, so Song Shi had no choice but to disarm and return home.

After several years of fighting, the Da Qi Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty in the north, Xixia in the northwest, and Shu in the southwest all stabilized the border areas, which is now the territory of Da Qi.

After Qiu Ling entered the palace, he was highly regarded by Taizong. Later, Taizong's eldest son Pang Chun died of illness, and his second son Pang Zi became the prince. After Taizong's death, Pang Zi succeeded to the throne as Gaozong. Qiu Ling continued to assist Gaozong and became the chief eunuch.

Taizong had three sons in total, namely Pang Chun, Pang Zi, and Pang Hui. After Pang Chun died, Pang Zi took great care of his only younger brother Pang Hui. However, when Pang Hui went out hunting, he was assassinated and was killed.

An arrow hit his lower abdomen. Although he escaped death by luck, he never did anything. At that time, Pang Hui had only one daughter, Pang Wei, so this assassination made Pang Hui's lineage extinct. After this misfortune, Pang Zi took even more care of Pang Hui.

After Pang Zi succeeded to the throne, he not only made his younger brother the leader of the Forbidden Army, but also appointed him as the commander of the Imperial City Division. Not only that, he also adopted his second son Pang Ying to Pang Hui. Unexpectedly, Pang Hui was not only ungrateful, but also believed that what had happened to him had been

The assassination was carried out by Gaozong to prevent him from competing for the throne, so he harbored a grudge against Gaozong.

At the turn of autumn and winter in the fourteenth year of Dading, Emperor Gaozong suddenly fell ill and suffered from muscle pain all over his body. At this time, Pang Hui collected something called "Diyejia" (the ancient name for opium) from Hu Shang and boiled it into water.

, and presented it to Taizong. After Taizong took it, the pain was indeed relieved. For more than half a year, Pang Hui continued to send Diyega, and Taizong took more and more. Later, Taizong discovered the pain in his body.

Although it was relieved, the limbs and body became increasingly numb, and finally became speechless and the whole body became rigid. In the first two months, Qiu Ling, who had some knowledge of medical skills, had already discovered that something was wrong with Gaozong and tried hard to persuade Gaozong not to take it, but Gaozong did not

Care. When Gao Zongkou could not speak, Qiu Ling realized that something big was going to happen.

Emperor Gaozong had two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter was Pang Sun, the second son was Pang Yan, the third son was Pang Ying, and the fourth daughter was Pang Yun. The first two were born to the queen, Pang Yun was born to a concubine, and Pang Ying was born to the empress of the West Palace.

Huang Jiao. The queen died after giving birth to Huang Yan. Because Gaozong and the queen had a close relationship, no new queen was established after the queen's death, which led to Huang Jiao's dissatisfaction. Although Huang Jiao was in charge of the harem, there were always some unfair claims.

The words did not go smoothly. At that time, Huang Jiao's father, Huang Yuandugui, was the deputy prime minister and had great influence in the court. He was at odds with Taiwei Han Zhong and other senior ministers. Huang Yuandu used his daughter Huang Jiao to collude with Pang Hui. Pang Ying was Pang Hui's stepson.

, who was also the grandson of Huang Yuandu, the two began to conspire to kill the prince Pang Yan. As Gaozong lost his mobility, Qiu Ling was also suppressed by the joint suppression of Huang Jiao and Pang Hui. Although Qiu Ling had wanted to contact Han Zhong and other court elders to prepare

It was better to avoid unforeseen circumstances. But Pang Hui and Huang Jiao controlled the palace, and Qiu Ling was helpless, so he could only find a way secretly.

Qiu Ling has been in charge of the eunuchs for many years. When Huang Jiao entered the palace, he arranged for a confidant young eunuch to be by his side, but he never used it. When Qiu Ling felt that something was wrong, he wanted to contact the young eunuch, but he learned that

A young eunuch had just disappeared. Qiu Ling realized that the other party wanted to take action, so he secretly came to the East Palace that night and wanted to take Pang Yan out of the palace to hide with Han Zhong. After the queen's death, Qiu Ling took great care of Pang Sun and Pang Yan, and his feelings were

Deeply, the siblings also relied heavily on Qiu Ling. Therefore, when Qiu Ling wanted to take the siblings away, the siblings naturally obeyed. However, before the three of them walked out of the East Palace, someone started to set fire. Because the fire was very strong

Da, Qiu Ling had no choice but to take the two of them to hide in the flower pond in the palace. After the fire broke out, the palace collapsed, and a large log fell into the pool, hitting Pang Yan in the head. Pang Yan died on the spot. Qiu Ling and Pang Sun

Then he escaped.

Taking advantage of the panic while the palace was busy putting out the fire, Qiu Ling and Pang Sun took advantage of the cover of lotus flowers in the pond to go ashore from the other side of the flower pond. Under the cover of the night, they groped their way to the palace wall and climbed out from a secret hole.

, hiding in a secret place within the Forbidden City (Jiangning City is the capital, the central area is the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden City is the palace city). This secret has a tunnel leading outside the Forbidden City. After the two escaped from the tunnel, they originally wanted to find

Han Zhong, but Han Zhong's family was secretly monitored, and the two had no chance. They had to sneak out of Jiangning City and began their escape journey. During this period, they faced several dangers, but they all survived safely under Qiu Ling's arrangements. Qiu Ling turned into a doctor Gao

, became a wandering doctor, while Pang Sun changed his name to Qi'er and became the apprentice of Doctor Gao. After nearly half a year of escaping, the two came to the remote Songjiazhuang and defected to Song Shi. Since Song Shi and Qiu Ling were 40 years old,

There was no way for others to know about their old acquaintance, so the two settled down in Songjiazhuang.

On the night of Pang Yan's death, Gaozong also died. Since Gaozong only had one son, Pang Ying, and although he had been adopted by Pang Hui, he was still of Gaozong's blood. As a result, Pang Ying ascended the throne as Mingzong.

Although the loyal Han Zhong and other veterans of Da Qi were very suspicious of the death of Gaozong and the prince, at this point, it was impossible to support anyone else as emperor, so they had to respect the new emperor. Huang Yuandu and Pang Hui

They joined forces to clean up the court and the army. Finally, Han Zhong, the leader among the veterans, was arrested and imprisoned. He died in prison a year later. Huang Yuandu became the prime minister, while Pang Hui became the Taiwei and took charge of Daqi.

army.

After listening to the story told by Qi'er, Song Zheng was confused. He really didn't expect that the story was so complicated, almost beyond all his imagination. Whether it was the story between Da Qi and Da Jin more than forty years ago,

The bloody battle, or the palace coup five years ago, these are all legendary things. He did not expect that he would be associated with such a thing. The beggar-like Qi'er in front of him turned out to be the eldest princess of Da Qi. He had just been

What's the point of beating and scolding her! (Just for collection)
