C26 North all the way

Zhao Chen was a little shocked in his heart. He did not expect that the "extremely important things" that Li Gang had mentioned would actually be these unrelated things! He thought that Li Gang must have other things to say, so he looked at Li Gang and waited for him to continue.

Li Gang was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, it's just that now is a chaotic time! It is good that Your Highness is merciful, but it is a pity that you are too merciful! Back in the Eastern Palace, you should have killed that Little San! Earlier, when I said that we would split the troops into two, you shouldn't have stopped General Wang at all! In this chaotic world, such kindness was already like a woman's kindness! This kind of benevolence will cause His Highness to lose your life, and because Your Highness has a close relationship with the future of Song Dynasty, this kind of benevolence will ultimately endanger the future of our Song Dynasty! "

"This …" Zhao Chen finally understood what Li Gang wanted to say!

Previously, when they left the Eastern Palace, Wang De thought that Zhao Chen had done something wrong. Furthermore, Li Gang felt that Zhao Chen had repeatedly made mistakes, which was why he solemnly advised Zhao Chen so that he would no longer be a merciful woman!

In fact, any young man of the modern society who came to ancient times and became a crown prince could not turn cold-blooded all of a sudden! No one would hesitate to let a youth who had never killed before kill someone! It was impossible for a young man to stand on the status of 'crown prince' and not consider the safety of others.

"Your Highness, you must always remember the matter of Song Dynasty ZTE! For the sake of Song Dynasty ZTE, father and brother could be killed, disciples could be killed, and close friends could be abandoned! Just now, I told the General Wang to lure away the Jin Army, not to mention how dangerous it is, even if he was asked to send him to her death, Your Highness should not have stopped him, and you must still agree! Only then will we be able to survive in this chaotic world and prosper in Song Dynasty! " Li Gang said.

"This..." Zhao Chen was a little speechless now!

What Li Gang had said was truly outrageous. "Father and brother can be killed, disciples can be killed, close friends can be abandoned" was something that he absolutely could not do right now.

"If it were a peaceful time, I would only praise Your Highness' actions, but unfortunately, right now is a chaotic world, so I can only criticize Your Highness. I hope Your Highness won't find me rude!" Li Gang said.

"What did Lord Li say? I know that Lord Li is loyal and righteous!" Furthermore, I have seen the wisdom of Lord Li along the way! Although I am temporarily unable to accept Master Li's words, I know that Master Li is doing it for my own good, for the good of Song Dynasty! I think it's better this way. From today onwards, Lord Li will be my teacher, and I will do my best to listen to you! " Zhao Chen laughed.

This Li Gang was a famous and loyal person in history, he was the leader of the famous officials of the Southern Song Dynasty! Zhao Chen didn't think much of him, but since he had traveled this path with Li Gang, although it had only been a short day, Zhao Chen had already completely accepted Li Gang as his master, so he had decided to take him as his master!

"Good!" Rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely teach you well! There's one more thing I need to teach you today! " Li Gang said excitedly.

"Lord Li, please speak!" Zhao Chen said.

"It is good that Your Highness cares about His Royal Highness, but you shouldn't show it too much!" Li Gang said.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen was startled.

"As an emperor, you should keep a straight face! If His Highness cared too much about a person, the enemy would use this point to scheme against him! At that time, that person will be His Highness' weakness! " Li Gang said.

What Li Gang was currently teaching was an ancient Monarch's Heart Technique. Originally, this technique was passed down from generation to generation, the emperor taught the next generation of emperors, or maybe even senior eunuchs and palace maids, or maybe even aides of the Eastern Palace King! No matter what, this monarch's technique should not come from the mouth of the ministers! Only, when Li Gang thought about it, since Zhao Chen was the crown prince of a fallen nation, and he was the only one by his side right now, no one else but him could teach Zhao Chen these things, so he said them without any restraints!

Li Gang and Zhao Chen had only stayed for a day, but in this short period of a day, he was exceptionally satisfied with the crown prince! The crown prince was smart and wise, this could be seen from Little San'er! Although the Crown Prince was only ten years old, his words and actions were similar to those of an adult. It was a good thing that he had grown up in this chaotic world! The kindness of the crown prince far surpassed that of Song Huizong and the Song Chin Zong! It was just that the crown prince's body had obvious weaknesses, like a woman's benevolence, happiness and anger appearing on his face, in Li Gang's eyes, these were all extremely weak points, and had to be corrected!

Zhao Chen lightly nodded as he listened to Li Gang speak. He felt that he had come into contact with another world today and that he had truly started to learn to be the "crown prince"!

After the two talked for a long time about the "Monarch Heart Technique", when the sounds of the horses gradually disappeared, Li Gang said: "Your Highness, let's leave this place now!"

Zhao Chen said: "Where are we going?"

Li Gang said: "Let's go to the north!"

Zhao Chen was startled, and said: "The north?"

The Jin Army had attacked from the north. The north was the most dangerous place, but they never thought that Li Gang would actually say that he was going there.

Li Gang already saw the confusion in Zhao Chen's eyes and explained: "Your Highness, actually, according to what ordinary people think, we will definitely go to the south or west! The south is Jiangnan, and the west is Chuanshan. That place is still the territory of my Song Dynasty, and there are still the armies of my Song Dynasty stationed there. However, wouldn't the female marshal have thought of this if an ordinary person could think of this? Therefore, the Nvzhen must be sending troops to the south and west to chase after us! However, we are not as good as they want us to be. They would never have thought we were heading north! "The north may be dangerous, but now is the safest place!"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place!" Zhao Chen nodded, and understood what Li Gang meant.

"Sun Zibing said, 'Survive after falling into the ground, and live after sinking into the ground of death.' Right now, we are acting according to the military law!" A smile appeared on Li Gang's face as he said that.

With that, the two of them supported each other as they walked down the mountain. In Zhao Chen's heart, he felt even more respect for Li Gang.

It was snowing heavily, so going down the mountain was much more difficult than going up the mountain. They only arrived at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night.

They walked north all night, and just as the sky was beginning to brighten, they came to a small village.

Many places in the north of Bianliang had already been robbed by the Jin Army, and this little village in front of them was the same! It was a complete mess here, the corpses of the villagers were everywhere! These villagers died in a very cruel way. Many women were lying naked on the ground. Their corpses had already been frozen! Some children were actually split into several pieces. Their faces were filled with pain and despair!

At this point, Zhao Chen could no longer take it and began to vomit huge mouthfuls of blood!

Li Gang patted his back and sighed, "For us Chinese to encounter such a calamity, we have to take revenge in the future! Your Highness, you are the crown prince, and the two emperors have been captured by the Tataru, you are the only hope of the Song Dynasty, you cannot be weak! From today onwards, you shall no longer be like this, vomiting here! "

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, and said: "Rest assured Master Li, I will definitely become strong!"

Due to his vomiting, his mouth was bitter. Therefore, he grabbed a lump of snow from the ground and started to chew! Spit the snow out! Only after doing this many times did he feel much better.

"We need to find something to eat!" Li Gang said.

"Is there anything else to eat here?" Zhao Chen said.

"There must be something to eat. Although the Jin Army looted this place, at least some of the food was left behind! Your Highness is waiting here, I'll go and take a look! " Li Gang said.

"Let's go look for it together!" Zhao Chen said.

At this moment, the two of them found some musty steamed buns from the small village and began to eat them big mouthfuls! After that, they stripped the corpses of their clothes. They took off their originally gorgeous clothes and changed into the clothes of these dead people! Now, they no longer looked like "nobles", but like ordinary commoners!

"The heavens will descend upon the saints, and they will first suffer the pain of their will, starve of their skin, empty of their energy, and do whatever they want with it. Your Highness, this is a test from heaven! After experiencing all these tests, you will definitely be able to win against all the Sovereigns of the Song Dynasty, and let my Song Dynasty prosper! " Looking at Zhao Chen who had already changed into ordinary clothes, Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen nodded!

Actually, he was not in a very good mood. Along the way, he saw many tragic scenes. He had been running for his life, and his mood was somewhat depressed! In addition, the palace which had been bright and resplendent a few days ago was now in such a dire situation! A few days ago, he was dressed in luxurious clothing, but now, he was eating moldy steamed buns and wearing the clothes of a dead person. His mood could be imagined!

Fortunately, Li Gang had been by his side the entire time, and had continuously encouraged him to stay calm so he wouldn't collapse.

Since this place wasn't too far from Kaifeng, they didn't dare to linger here. After eating and changing clothes, they continued their journey north.

The ancient paths were abnormally difficult. Many times, they couldn't even find the way, so their speed was extremely slow.

Zhao Chen no longer knew how long he had walked. He felt that he was no longer the same person as he used to be, he was no longer the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, nor was he the seventeen year old student he was before. His body was now filled with dust, and he was extremely exhausted. Right now, he looked like a beggar. Li Gang had always been with him, and now, it was the same for Li Gang! Although Li Gang had never cultivated in martial arts before, and his body was extremely weak, Li Gang's willpower was extremely strong. He had been exhausted on many occasions during this journey, but Li Gang still continued to walk forward while gritting his teeth! A famous subject is indeed not a small matter, Zhao Chen was extremely impressed by this teacher of his!

According to the historical records, in the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was practically Li Gang alone who turned the tide, and only after that did Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and the other famous anti-gold generals appear. Along the way, Zhao Chen became more and more convinced that this teacher of his possessed such abilities. Whether it was his own talent or mental strength, this teacher of his stood at the pinnacle of this era. His own royal father did not need to use such ministers, but used Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan and countless other treacherous officials. No wonder the Northern Song was destroyed.

"Your Highness, tomorrow will be the second year of Jingkang!" That night, when they were sleeping in a cave, Li Gang asked.

"What?" Have we been walking for a month? " Zhao Chen said in shock.

Along the way, Zhao Chen felt that his body and mind had become numb, and he had even forgotten the date. He did not expect Li Gang to remember everything so clearly.

"That's right!" We've been walking for a month! " Li Gang nodded.

"When are we going to stop? Are the female soldiers no longer pursuing us? " Zhao Chen said.

"We are not far from the Xiangzhou. We should be able to reach the Xiangzhou by tomorrow. Once we reach Xiangzhou, we will stop! " Li Gang said.
