The Song Dynasty wanted to be prosperous and strong. This road to prosperity must be full of hardships and blood and tears.

There is no banquet that will last forever in the world.

Zhao Dongting knew very well that fewer and fewer people would be able to stay by his side in the future. Those who are trusted by him will inevitably be sent to various places to be in charge of the affairs.

The vast territory of the Song Dynasty is no longer the same as when it was in Leizhou.

Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Miao Youli, Wen Tianxiang and many other generals who were originally surrounded by him have now taken charge in various places.

And in the future, there will only be more and more such people. It is like Zhu Haiwang who has just left Changsha City.

It's just that good, at least, they are still alive.

In the years when the Song Dynasty was rising against the Yuan Dynasty, more people passed away forever.

Lu Chuanyao, deputy officer of the former guard of the former hall, including Yang Yidong, Li Yuanxiu, Wu Chengzai, Liu Yong, Zou Jue, Liu Fu, Xiang Dongyang and others.

Zhao Dongting could not remember very clearly how many people paid their lives for the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

Generals such as Lu Chuanyao, Liu Yong, and Zou Yan all died in battle.

Liu Fu died of illness.

Xiang Dongyang suffered from illness and died suddenly in office.

Zhao Dongting didn't know how many ministers who came to the throne could have left behind when Dali was completely assimilated by the Song Dynasty.

After all, he could not do as hard-hearted as the previous emperor.

Although I still let Zhu Haiwang and others go, I didn’t feel good.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Zhao Dongting returned to the bedroom and went straight to Yunjing's room.

The sound of a piano floated out in the room soon.

The charming but a little cool sound floats with the sound of the piano.

Dreaming around the road of Shenzhou. I feel sad about the autumn wind, and the camp is painted with the corners, and the Forbidden City is separated from the millet. The bottom of the Kunlun is filled with pillars. The yellow flows in the nine places. The gathering of thousands of falls, and the foxes and rabbits in the villages are always difficult to ask about. Besides, human feelings are easy to be sad. Let’s go to Nanpu.

...

After Huang Liujia set up a recruitment office in Jiangling Prefecture to recruit experts from the martial arts world and the Wuding Sect. This incident was like mushrooms after a rain and springing out in various parts of the Song Dynasty.

It was Zhao Dongting who sent a letter from Huang Liujia to imitate the prefectures and states of the Song Dynasty after seeing the letter from Huang Liujia.

The world was settled at the beginning, and the Yuan Dynasty and Xinsong thought that they only wanted to protect themselves in a short period of time, and would not have the spare time to attack the Song Dynasty. Zhao Dongting intended to make the world stable.

This time, Duan Qilin made a fuss about the world, although the disaster of the riots in the end was shocked without any danger, it did shock Zhao Dongting.

Influenced by Hong Wutian, although he hoped that the world would flourish, he would never want to see that the world was powerful and so as to escape from the control of the court. Just like the martial arts alliance that Liu Qiu had at the time.

That would be a catastrophe for the whole world.

There are countless sects actively signing up in various places, including countless sects.

There are only a few that can meet the requirements of Wudingtang.

After all, Wu Dingtang recruits top experts or martial arts geniuses with the potential to become top experts.

Such people are rare in the world.

There are even fewer sects that can meet the standards.

Some prefectures cannot even find five masters in Shangyuan realm or sects that can be dominated by masters in Zhenwu realm.

There is no city's Wudingtang recruitment site as lively as Jiangling Mansion.

Until now, even in Jiangling Mansion, almost all the sects and gangsters who are willing to sign up have signed up. The recruitment office also seems a bit deserted.

However, Huang Liujia did not rush back to Changsha in a hurry.

He learned from Su Quandang's mouth that many masters were following Guan Qiluo to Xiangyang, of course they were waiting for those masters to come back here.

Especially for top sects like Daozuo, although they are not in the blue now, they will surely prosper in the future. Such sects are not recruited into the court, which is a loss for the court.

Two days passed so soon.

More and more masters and top sects have been registered by Wu Dingtang.

Xiao Yulin, Guan Qiluo, Liu Zijun and others led the army out of Lizhou West Road and joined the rear army led by Yu Xingwen on the Jinghu North Road.

The army headed to Jiangling Prefecture.

Jia Fenghua, the governor of the West Road of Yuanlizhou, received a secret report.

When he learned that the Song Dynasty imperial guards had left, the loyal old minister who was given important tasks by Kublai Khan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly sent a letter to Yuanzhongdu for this matter.

However, the two legions of the Lion and Dragon Spear under Xiao Yulin, Liu Zijun's command seemed to have disappeared from Lizhou West Road, and did not cause any noise.

The letter from the Yuan Dynasty ambassador to Song Qi Hongda finally fell into the Yuan Zhongdu Palace and was sent to the Secretariat by the eunuch.

Although Kublai Khan's physical condition has improved a little in the past few days, he is still not in good spirits. Sang Ge is still assisting the country and in charge of national affairs.

In a room in the Secretariat, Brother Sang, who had a little tired face on his face, frowned immediately after reading Qi Hongda's letter, and then hurried to Kublai Khan's bedroom.

Emperor Song actually promised to withdraw the army from Lizhou West Road after receiving the Jiangling Prefecture Garrison to Xiangyang. This was a good thing, but Brother Sang couldn't believe it.

How could Emperor Song be so easy to talk to?

Furthermore, if it were just to support the Jiangling Prefecture Garage Army and Lu Wenhuan's old subordinates, why did the Song army have to send so many soldiers so much?

Could it be that the Song army would not know how many Yuan soldiers were on the West Lizhou Road?

They shouldn't have to worry about what the Yuan soldiers in Lizhou West Road would do to them. There was no need to send so many imperial guards to respond.

There is something abnormal about things.

Brother Sang was scheming and thoughtful. Although he couldn't imagine what was wrong, he had an intuition in the dark. Emperor Song should not give up Xiangyang Prefecture as easily as he said.

And what he couldn't grasp was to discuss with Kublai Khan.

When he arrived outside Kublai Khan's bedroom, the eunuch was about to report, when Brother Sang waved his hand and said to the room: "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you."

"Come in!"

Kublai Khan's voice came from the room. It seemed to be a little happy when he heard it.

This made Brother Sang slightly confused.

It was not until I pushed the door and walked into the room.

It turned out that Princess Mingzhu Turando was in the room at this time, holding a book and talking to the emperor.

Brother San also smiled and bowed to Tolando, "Your Highness the Princess."

In the entire Yuan Palace, Tulando had such magic power, which could easily make the emperor happy.

Turando looked at Brother Sang and shouted sweetly: "Grandpa Sang."

Since she has relieved her past grudges with Kublai Khan, her mood has improved a lot. She has gradually returned to her previous cheerfulness.

But when Brother Sang saw the sweet smile on her face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Princess Mingzhu is really likable, especially those old guys. But in the end, she will marry into the Song Kingdom in a few days.

This made Brother Sang suddenly feel a little excited.

The smile at the corner of his mouth faded away without realizing it. Brother Sang walked to Kublai Khan's bed and said to Kublai Khan: "Your Majesty, Lord Qi is back from sending a message."

Kublai Khan waved his hand.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the bedroom all walked out.

Then he asked Brother Sang, "What did Emperor Song say?"

Brother Sang said: "The Emperor of Song first let Lord Qi leave for a long time, and then met Lord Qi in the imperial study. He said that he sent the imperial guards of Song to the West Road of Lizhou just to meet the garrison troops of Jiangling Prefecture that had been to Xiangyang and... those old subordinates of Lu Wenhuan."

After hearing this, Kublai Khan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a while, "Brother Sang, what do you think about this?"

Brother Sang said bluntly: "I think there should be a fraud in this. Maybe Emperor Song is delaying time?"

Kublai Khan frowned, "No. My Yuan army is still under the northern border of Song State. And I clearly say that if he dares to seize Xiangyang Prefecture, I will let the army continue to fight with their Song army at any cost. Even if the Emperor of Song wants to delay time, it will be meaningless. He should know that before his army withdraws from the western border of Lizhou, my army will never withdraw from their northern border of Song State."

"That……"

Brother Sang pondered: "What did the emperor think that Emperor Song thought?"

But Kublai Khan shook his head, "I can't understand it now. But, wait for news from Lizhou West Road first!"

Brother Sang nodded, "Then I will go and order Jia Fenghua to pay close attention to the movements of the Song army in a while."

“No need.”

Kublai Khan waved his hand and said, "Jia Fenghua still knows this. Let's wait for him to write to you."

"yes."

Brother Sang responded softly.

Then he left Kublai Khan's bedroom.

There were only Kublai Khan, Turando, and the grandson, who were looking at each other speechlessly.

The atmosphere seemed a bit weird.

And this strangeness seems to be entirely caused by Brother Sang's mention of the word "Emperor Song".

During the past few days, Kublai Khan and Turandot have been together, and both of them are trying to avoid mentioning this word.
