Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

After Qu Duan and others left, a young man came out from the back room!

This young man looks a little frail, his face is pale, he is the eldest son Zhe Yanwen!

Zhe Yanwen went straight to Zhe Keqiu, and said: "Father, you just said that you want to betroth the younger sister to Qu Duan's son, but is it true?"

Zhe Keqiu nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Zhe Yanwen gritted his teeth, and said: "Father, I heard that Qu Duan's son is incompetent! Although Qu Duan himself is capable of both civil and military skills, his son is not capable of writing or martial arts! That's all, his son is purely a Dude, he is having fun in Jingyuan City every day! We have heard of Qu Duan's son's notoriety when we were in Fuzhou and Tongguan. How can we betroth our younger sister to Qu Duan's son? He is not worthy at all. Come on little girl!"

Zhe Keqiu said: "In order to win over Qu Duan, I have to do this!"

Zhe Yanwen said: "In order to win him over, do we have to sacrifice my little sister?"

Zhe Keqiu said: "If you can win him over, it will be worth it!"

Zhe Yanwen said angrily: "Father, how can you do this? The younger sister is a first-class talent in the world. Needless to say, she is as beautiful as a flower. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even those famous talented women in ancient times They are far from being comparable to my little sister! How can you let her marry a trash?"

"Bastard!" Zhe Keqiu snorted coldly, and said, "As the daughter of the Zhe family, she naturally has to contribute to the future of the Zhe family! If she marries a dude, she can exchange for hundreds of years of the Zhe family. , that's worth it! For the family's sake, what's so great about sacrificing a daughter!"

Zhe Yanwen looked at Zhe Keqiu in disbelief, and said, "Father, you were not like this before! You love my little sister more than you love our two brothers! You really shouldn't do this!"

Zhe Keqiu said: "It used to be a peaceful era, but now that troubled times are coming, I want to think about the future of the Zhe family! In fact, I am thinking about your two brothers. In the future, the Zhe family will not belong to your two brothers? Why don't you Do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Zhe Yanwen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father, I can agree to anything you do, but it is really hard for me to accept that you have to sacrifice my little sister!"

Zhe Keqiu frowned slightly, and said: "Go out first! You heard it just now, even if I want to betroth my daughter to Qu Duan's son, Qu Duan is still unwilling to accept it! With Qu Duan's current status and strength, I don't know if there is any How many people want to win him over! I'm sure, if Kang Wang is older and his daughter grows up, Kang Wang will definitely betroth his daughter to Qu Duan! One daughter can be exchanged for an army of 100,000. Who can buy such a cheap deal? I don't want to do it! Forget it, I have to think about how to win Qu Duan!"

Zhe Yanwen left angrily, and Zhe Keqiu stayed in the hall to continue thinking about things, not to mention that.

Qu Duan, Wang Shu and the others had already arrived at the station, the ordinary soldiers had already rested, and Qu Duan was sitting with Wang Shu drinking tea.

Wang Shu looked at Qu Duan, and after a while, said: "General, why didn't you agree to Zhe Keqiu's request just now? Zhe Keqiu's daughter is a well-known beauty and talent in Northwest China, she is worthy of the general's son! "

Qu Duan smiled and said: "I know myself, my son is not good enough for his daughter! Moreover, he just wants to recruit me and make me and him a family! But I can't promise!"

Wang Shudao: "Actually, after the general and Zhe Keqiu become in-laws, if Zhe Keqiu succeeds in the future, you, the general, are also relatives of the emperor. Wouldn't your status be higher than what you have now?"

Qu Duan shook his head and said, "I don't want to get involved in their affairs! You don't need to persuade me anymore!"

Wang Shu smiled bitterly and sighed softly.

At this moment, someone outside reported that it was Yang Shi and Zhao Ding asking to see him!

Qu Duan was taken aback, and said, "Yang Shi? Zhao Ding? Why did they come here?"

Wang Shu said: "They just want to win over the general for King Kang! The general might as well meet them!"

Qu Duan said: "Alright!"

After a while, the door opened, and Yang Shi and Zhao Ding walked into the room!

At this moment, Qu Duan had already stood up and walked quickly to meet him! That's all for Zhao Ding, Yang Shi is a well-known Confucian in the world! The style of writing in the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and the status of literati was extremely high. Although Qu Duan was a general, he never dared to be arrogant in front of Yang Shi!

"Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhao, you have been admiring your name for a long time!" Qu Duan laughed while looking at Yang Shi and Zhao Ding.

"We have admired General Qu's reputation for a long time!" Yang Shi said lightly.

There was a hint of disdain in Yang Shi's eyes, he was the top literati in the world, and he always looked down on warriors! If it weren't for the seriousness of the matter this time, he would never have dealt with Qu Duan, a rude warrior!

In his heart, there is still a big difference between Qu Duan and Zhe Keqiu! Qu Duan is a standard "mud leg", while Zhe Keqiu is from a family of soldiers and generals, and is a nobleman in the army! Therefore, when he faced Qu Duan and Zhe Keqiu, his attitude was completely different! At this moment, he didn't hide the disdain in his eyes, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with showing such eyes!

"Please sit down, both of you! Come on, don't show tea to Mr. Yang and Mr. Zhao!" Qu Duan also saw the disdain in Yang Shi's eyes, and he just smiled lightly.

Now a soldier brings tea over! Seeing that the person serving the tea turned out to be a soldier, Yang Shi frowned again! For a Confucian like him, the one who serves tea and water must be a beautiful maid. How can he let a soldier with rough hands and feet serve him? Therefore, Yang Shi was upset again!

Yang Shi acted like this, Qu Duan finally felt unhappy! He originally wanted to chat with these two for a while, but now he was not in the mood to chat, and said: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Yang Shidao: "Emperor Jianyan has already ascended the throne in Shangqiu and is the lord of the Song Dynasty! General Qu, you are the envoy of Jingyuan Road. Our generals in the Song Dynasty should naturally be loyal to Emperor Jianyan and obey his orders! You Now leave Hanzhong and follow us to Shangqiu to meet Emperor Jianyan!"

When Yang Shi said this, Qu Duan was stunned, Wang Shu was stunned, and Zhao Ding was stunned too!

They all looked at Yang Shi blankly, only to see Yang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, with an expression of arrogance and disdain!

Qu Duan almost laughed angrily, even if he wanted to recruit people, this is not the way to recruit people! Yang Shi didn't seem to be soliciting people, but rather like scolding a servant casually!

Zhao Ding said hastily: "General Qu, Fang is in great chaos today! Emperor Jianyan ascended the throne in Shangqiu, and there are millions of troops under his seat. There are countless good generals such as Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Wang Yuan, etc., as well as Zong Ze, Huang Qianshan, etc. , Wang Boyan, and countless civil servants are here! Emperor Jianyan is already orthodox in the Central Plains, and soon Emperor Jianyan will lead an army to the Northern Expedition to the Jurchen to welcome the second emperor! Who knows that His Royal Highness is going to ascend the throne in Hanzhong now! If His Royal Highness ascends the throne, our Great Song Isn’t it true that with two kings, the country will be divided? The people of the world have already suffered a lot. If the two kings continue to quarrel, the suffering of the people will be even worse! May the general think of the people of the world and dissuade the prince! "

Qu Duan was silent for a moment, and everyone in the room looked at Qu Duan. After a while, Qu Duan shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is the eldest son of Emperor Jingkang, and it is natural to inherit the throne! On the contrary, King Kang is the vassal king. , Attempt to usurp the throne, very inappropriate!"

Before Zhao Ding could speak, Yang Shi was already furious. He stood up, trembling all over, pointed at Qu Duan, and scolded: "Kang Kang is old, the country is in chaos, and he has to inherit the throne! You idiot, you just rely on your hands!" There are only 100,000 soldiers in the army, how dare you not attach to King Kang! When King Kang's troops come to the northwest in the coming day, you will only die! You damn thing!"

Qu Duan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he couldn't bear the expression of disgust on his face, so he said immediately: "Come on, see off the guests!"

Zhao Ding was taken aback, and said: "General Qu, just listen to me!"

Qu Duan said: "You don't need to say anything! I will never attach to Kang Wang, a traitor! Come here, send them out quickly!"

Then several soldiers rushed in, they dragged Yang Shi and Zhao Ding to the outside, Yang Shi was still yelling, Zhao Ding was very depressed! He had already thought up the rhetoric to attract Qu Duan, and had decided to temporarily confer Qu Duan as "Marshal of the Northwest Army and Horses", "Jingyuan Jiedu Envoy" and "Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy" for King Kang temporarily. Win over Qu Duan! Who would have thought that Yang Shi was so confused that he would make fun of Qu Duan here!

After Yang Shi and Zhao Ding left, Qu Duan said disdainfully: "What are these two people? Did Kang Wang send such a thing to recruit me?"

Wang Shu shook his head, he didn't expect Kang Wang's envoy to look like this! Especially Yang Shi, who is a well-known Confucian in the world, but has no ability to do things! He originally hoped that Qu Duan could be persuaded by Yang Shi and Zhao Ding so that Qu Duan could continue to adopt his "middle strategy", but now it seems impossible!

"General, we are really exhausted after trekking all the way! I can't hold on any longer, so I'm going to rest first!" Wang Shu cupped his hands and said.

Qu Duan's army is strict, but he is very easy-going with his subordinates, so Wang Shu doesn't care about many etiquettes.

"Go!" Qu Duan nodded.

After Wang Shu left, Qu Duan also felt a little tired, so he went to rest now.

The inn gradually became quiet.

*** ***

At this moment, in the last palace of the Han Palace, Zhao Chen was sitting cross-legged on a cushion!

His eyes are slightly closed and he is meditating!

After a long time, he opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in them!

After many days of practice, his previous palm injuries and poisonous injuries have been completely healed, and now his body, spirit, and internal strength have reached the peak state that he can achieve now!

Zhao Chen stood up and looked outside the palace!

The gate of the palace was wide open, and there was no one outside, only guards existed far away!

The rain is pattering, and the sound of the rain makes people feel extremely calm!

Zhao Chen walked to the door, secretly thinking about something!

"After many days of practice, my internal energy has reached the sixth level of the day after tomorrow! Unfortunately, all the innate skills of the master have been consumed in washing the marrow and cutting the hair, and only a little remains in my body! But these little remnants have already Let me enter the sixth level of Houtian! This Chongyang Divine Art is really different from the previous Huangtian Jue. After practicing, one's body and spirit become relaxed and comfortable, and the previous Huangtian Jue has no such effect !"

He was thinking about it, when suddenly there were footsteps in the distance!
