Chapter 1: The Awakening of Shin Wang...

  Zhao Song knew that the events that had occurred to him in this body of Xing Wang, Zhao Song's army was eventually destroyed by the Jin army. It is said that it was still Zhao Gou who harmed Zhao Song for the sake of flattering the Jin soldiers and eliminating the threat to his own throne, Xing Wang. Of course, these were all future events, now the Zhao family and some officials had just been captured by the Jin country.

  Emperor Huizong of Song, Emperor Qinzong of Song and more than 3,000 members of the imperial family, officials and palace eunuchs were taken prisoner by the Jin army. Now, several months have passed since the Jingkang Incident occurred.

  The Jingkang Incident was a humiliation for the Zhao family, and the entire imperial clan of the Zhao family was slaughtered, abused, and enslaved by the Jin people. It's just that I don't know if I can do something to save the Zhao family after crossing into Xining Wang's body.

  At this point, Zhao Ze suddenly felt his heart filled with anger, grief and a deep-seated hatred. After all, he had now merged with the memories of Xing Wang Zhao Ze, two people becoming one, and Xing Wang Zhao Ze's emotions were also influencing the thinking of the special soldier Zhao Ze who had traveled through time.

  "I'm doomed! How can it be so painful? Xing Wang, Xing Wang! From now on, I am Xing Wang Zhao Chen. I will avenge the Zhao family."

  Zhao Xun's body was originally very weak, and with a serious illness, it allowed a soul from the future to cross over and occupy Zhao Xun's body.

  After the Jingkang Incident, Zhao Gou conspired to ascend to the throne by refusing to rescue Dongjing. This was the era when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and the Southern Song Dynasty was established. The Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty, who had no great ambitions but indulged in pleasure, wanted to sell a large amount of land to the Jin Dynasty and pay tribute to seek peace, even ceding territory and becoming a vassal to seek stability. As for his relatives and older brothers, he simply did not care about them. Of course, it cannot be said that he did not care about them at all; what he cared about was that they would die and never come back to interfere with his position as emperor.

  Looking at the considerate queen beside him, Zhao Chen said with a sorrowful tone: "Over these years, I have been living under the blessings of my royal family. Now that my entire family is suffering, what should I do? I want to avenge my family for the hardships and humiliation they've endured, but how can I escape?"

  The princess of Xin Wang covered her face and wept, Zhao Ze hurriedly comforted her with a few words. In the midst of comforting her, Zhao Ze made up his mind to escape with Princess Xin Wang before tomorrow.

  The sky gradually brightened, and the escort team was also ready to move forward. Everywhere was the sound of horseshoes, Jin soldiers were whipping Zhao's prisoners everywhere, urging everyone to start moving.

  Zhao Xun was seriously ill, and because he was a close relative of the Song Dynasty emperor, the Jin soldiers were relatively lenient and gave him a small horse-drawn carriage. The King of Xin and his queen had no servants or maids left by their side, and for the past two days, it was Queen Xin herself who led the horse forward.

  Zhao Xun recovered and personally drove the horse carriage, letting Princess Xinwang sit in it. He had her lead the small horse forward. Originally, Princess Xinwang wouldn't let Zhao Xun pull the horse for her, but she had been taking care of him while hiding her true feelings, and hadn't closed her eyes once in several days, so she was extremely tired. She was pressed down by Zhao Xun into the carriage and soon fell asleep in the small horse carriage.

  Zhao Kun followed the captured family members under the supervision of the Jin army and continued to move forward.

  The treatment of the captives was different, with Song Huizong and Song Qinzong receiving the best treatment, being able to sit in a horse-drawn carriage. Moreover, they were allowed to keep more concubines by their side than any other prince, while the wives and concubines of other princes and princesses were mostly taken away. The Princess of Xin was also occupied, but temporarily avoided humiliation, however if she didn't escape tomorrow, she would also be unable to avoid being occupied.

  Accompanied by wailing, crying and shouting, the convoy began to move forward. In the chaos, Zhao Ju tightly observed the team of porters carrying treasures behind him, and the speed of the horse-drawn carriage slowed down, getting closer to the porters behind.

  At this time, the Jin soldiers began to disperse in all directions to prevent the surrounding Loyalist Army from intercepting and rescuing the captives. At the same time, the number of Jin soldiers escorting the Zhao family members in the center began to decrease. For these powerless, pampered and indulged princes and nobles of the Zhao royal family, a small number of Jin soldiers were enough to guard them, so the Jin army's escort team was tight on the outside but loose on the inside.

  At this moment, a middle-aged carter in the team of carters began to speed up his horse-drawn vehicle, getting closer and closer to Zhao Xun's small cart.

  Zhao Xun turned his head and saw that it was indeed his own personal bodyguard, Wang Jin. Wang Jin had also seen Zhao Xun and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

  The transport team left the flat road, and the road gradually became rugged. At this time, the entire transport team went up the mountain path, with a deep mountain stream on one side of the mountain path and a steep cliff on the other.

  Due to the narrow mountain road, the Jin soldiers escorting them also became sparse. Wang Jing and Zhao Chen's carriages were getting closer and closer. At this time, Wang Jing's horse carriage had slightly strayed from the team of coachmen, when a Jin soldier cavalryman rushed over and whipped Wang Jing. Wang Jing suddenly sprang up, one hand grasping the opponent's whip, while the other hand shot out a sleeve arrow.

  "Pffft!" "Ah!" The sleeve arrow pierced the Jin soldier's throat, and he was about to die. The surrounding Jin soldiers immediately closed in, some raising their wolf-toothed clubs, others lifting their battle knives, and charged over.

  "Your Highness! There's a river in the mountain valley, if you want to escape, just jump! If you're afraid of death, then there's no other way for Wang Jin!" As the Golden Army closed in, Wang Jin shouted loudly and jumped down into the mountain valley.

  Zhao Ju didn't hesitate and immediately picked up the still sleeping Wang Fei, leaping into the air and jumping down. The other Zhao family members saw this scene and also wanted to jump into the mountain stream to escape, but looking at the deep and dark ravine, they hesitated and retreated. For them, it was better to live a life of shame than to die. Jumping down might lead to death, but in the hands of the Jin soldiers, they could still survive.

  Zhao Zhuo hugged his queen and quickly leaped down towards the mountain stream. The sound of the wind whizzing past his ears was all too familiar to him, as he had jumped out of planes many times in his previous life. Jumping over a mountain stream was child's play compared to that.

  But soon, the queen in Zhao Xun's arms was shocked awake by the sudden change. When she saw the two of them rapidly falling, she let out a scream and then fainted.

  Before long, "Plop!" "Plop!" Two splashing sounds, Wang Jin and Zhao Chen fell into the river in the mountain stream one after another. At the moment of entering the water, Zhao Chen was afraid that his princess would be choked by the water, so he kissed her and passed on a breath to Princess Xinxin.

  Wang Jin was also a master in the water, his skills on the surface were not bad either. Soon he found Xing Wang Zhao Chen and Queen Wang, pulling the two quickly to shore.

  In the distance on the mountain, there were still shouts of the Jin soldiers and the neighing of war horses. The Jin soldiers were clearly searching for a way to find the three people. At this time, Princess Xinfeng also woke up and was trembling in Zhao Ke's arms. And Zhao Ke took Princess Xinfeng with him, following Wang Jing and the others, disregarding the cold and wet on their bodies, quickly climbing away from the place, rushing towards the distant dense forest of the big mountain...

  Tutunzi is the market town closest to Wuyi Mountain. The three fugitives, after hiding from the densest wind in the mountains, arrived at the Tutunzi market. Upon arrival, the three of them hastily asked around about the current war situation. From the information they gathered, Zhao Xian learned that Zhao Gou had already proclaimed himself emperor. Zong Ze was leading troops to fight against the Jin army, and at this time, the Jin and Song armies were engaged in a fierce battle near Bianliang, with the Eastern Capital of Bianliang on the brink of danger. Nearby, the Jin army and the righteous army had fought several battles, but due to insufficient troop strength, the Jin army was repeatedly defeated by the righteous army, and the Jin troops occupying this area temporarily retreated. The righteous army also arrived at the Wumashan mountainous region. As a result, the area around Wumashan became the battlefield for the Jin army and the righteous army.

  The sky quickly darkened, and Zhao Ke, Princess Xing, and Wang Jin had no money and nowhere to stay. Fortunately, Princess Xing still had some gold, silver, and silk on her body, so Zhao Ke changed his name to Liang Shiba and sold them off, then found a small household to rent two houses from, and also exchanged some food for sustenance.

  So, the three of them spent their days gathering information and stayed in Tuzi at night, temporarily having a place to stay. On the third night, Zhao Chen couldn't sleep for half the night, he stared wide-eyed at the stars outside the paper-covered window, his heart chilled from time to time. In this chaotic year, human life was like grass, and in this area controlled by the Golden Army, Zhao Chen was still a fugitive member of the royal family, very dangerous. Moreover, at this time, Zhao Chen had no military power and little ability to protect himself.

  Although Zhao Chenwu's martial arts skills were high in his previous life, they were honed through practice. In his past life, his body was clad in bulletproof armor and could even deflect bullets, but that is no longer the case. Due to being captured by the Jin army and lacking nutrition for an extended period, as well as constantly fleeing in a state of panic, Zhao Chenwu's current body is now as thin as a twig, devoid of any strength. Relying on his weak and frail teenage body without any foundation in martial arts, he estimates that he can't even take down a robust man. It's not that his martial arts skills have regressed, but rather that his physical energy is too low, and his speed is very slow. Even the basic movements of combat are executed slowly, making it impossible for him to unleash his formidable fighting abilities. Martial arts combat isn't something you can think your way through; it's something that requires arduous practice.

  His body was really not good, Zhao Chen secretly operated his breath. When he was practicing, a cold wind came from outside the window, and Zhao Chen's weak body gradually reacted, feeling tired, and soon Zhao Chen fell asleep with Princess Xinyi's small body in his arms.

  In a daze, Zhao Xun seemed to have heard some noise. Was it thunder? He was too lazy to bother, having been trekking through mountains and valleys for days, he was exhausted and desperately wanted to sleep. However, due to his past life as a special forces soldier, Zhao Xun's alertness still managed to force him to open his eyes, whereupon he saw a bloody knife. In an instant, Zhao Xun's mind had already taken down the enemy, but his body hadn't reacted in the slightest, and before he knew it, he was bound up with rope.

  At this time, Wang Jin and Princess Xing were also tied up by each other. Due to Princess Xing's young age, she had not yet developed physically, and with several days of malnutrition, she was very weak and thin, and the Jin soldiers did not discover that she was a woman.

  Zhao Chen, Princess Xining and Wang Jin were tied together with a rope, the other end of which was attached to the back of a horse. It was a fine warhorse, on whose saddle sat a knight clad in golden armor, holding a torch aloft. From his attire, it could be easily discerned that he was a pure-blooded Jurchen Jin soldier.

  Zhao Jun and Wang Jin had already inquired clearly when they escaped to this place, here is a place without gold soldiers, the adjacent big mountain is also relatively remote, the sudden arrival of the Golden People can only have one possibility, that is, to rob the valley. In fact, even some undisciplined Song army would often do such things because of lack of food and grass. At this time of war, there are no kind armies, only looting armies. Therefore, the common people are the most miserable.

  Zhao Zhuang took one look at the bulging package on the golden soldier's horseback and knew he was there to rob. He was truly unlucky, having just escaped a few days ago, only to run into the golden soldiers who were out to plunder the valley.

  Wang Jin, who was beside Zhao Kun, could not accept this fact. As a former Song army soldier, he saw the mortal enemy of the Jin dog and was furious from the heart, turning over and wanting to jump up to resist. But at this moment, his head had just been hit by the back of the knife by the Golden Knight, and it was still bleeding profusely. With one move, the wound was pulled, and the pain was unbearable.

  The intense pain made him suddenly sober, and the mournful cries and chaotic hoofbeats from afar made him shudder involuntarily, his face covered in blood. It was clear that the number of Jin soldiers who had come to attack this village tonight was not small, and if they resisted, not only would he lose his life, but also the life of the king would be hard to preserve. Unlike bandits, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was extremely fierce.

  "Crack, crack, crack..." The whip's sharp whistling sound came from above, raining down on the two people. "Go! Go quickly..." Jin Bing obviously knew some simple Chinese, shouting savagely in a voice that sounded especially bloodthirsty in the dark of night.

  The bandits from the valley of golden grass, each and every one of them are extremely cruel. If you dare to resist and threaten their lives, your life will be over, but if you let them plunder, they won't take the initiative to harm you. After all, they need to eat, and you can be sold or become their slave. Killing you would mean losing an object for them to gain benefits from.

  At this moment, Zhao Zhen knew that he didn't need to take such a desperate measure. After calming down from the initial anger, of course, he wouldn't seek death.

  The Jin army looted the village very thoroughly, taking everything they could. They returned loaded with spoils, with more than 30 mules carrying bundles of loot. In addition, they captured over 40 able-bodied men and a dozen or so women, binding them together in a long string to prevent escape.

  The geographical location is remote, and the Song army's defeated soldiers, bandits or righteous armies may appear at any time, which is not safe. Therefore, these Jin soldiers walked very quickly, whipping them with leather whips all the way to hurry up.

  Zhao Song walked in the middle of the troops, while Wang Jin followed behind him, his face and clothes covered with blood. Due to a severe head injury, his condition was not good. For this person who had saved himself and the princess's life, Zhao Song was very worried, and several times wanted to go help him, but was driven back by the Golden Army's whips.

  The morning star fell, and a thread of dawn began to radiate light, illuminating all living things on earth. The sky gradually brightened, and after the break of day, this troop of golden soldiers was already more than ten miles away from the village they had raided. At this time, the golden soldiers, who were all loaded with heavy spoils, were also tired and began to stop and rest.

  "Wang Jin, how are you? Can you hold on?" Zhao Chen asked with concern as he sat beside Wang Jin. For the person who had saved his life in this world and was also a loyal and devoted individual, Zhao Chen still held great respect and care for him.

  "What's this?" Wang Jin looked at his wound and said weakly, "In the past when I was in trouble in the imperial palace, I was cut by the Golden Army, with dozens of bleeding wounds on my body. The situation was much more serious than this, but I still survived. I will continue to follow the escort team to rescue you, don't worry, Your Highness! My life is very hard, and Yan Wang won't come to collect me."

  Although he said so, Wang Jin's expression was still very dejected. Seeing him with his head hung low, Zhao Zhen wanted to comfort him with a few words, but at this moment when they were deeply trapped in a desperate situation, anything he said would be useless.

  Suddenly, Wang Jin thought of something and leaned in close to Zhao Chen, lowering his voice to ask: "Young Master Wang, what did these Jurchen people say on the road?" He originally couldn't speak or understand the Jurchen language, but he knew that this young master, Zhao Chen, was very clever and could understand some of it.

  Relying on his own memories of the Manchu language from before, and adding to that the memories of the Jurchen language left behind by this body of Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen is very familiar with the Jurchen language.

  When Wang Jin asked, Zhao Chen cautiously looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, then whispered: "They are all under the command of Zhan Han, and it's said that as long as the main force of the Golden Army arrives, the Righteous Army will definitely be defeated. I estimate that the main force of the Righteous Army has already defeated the nearby Golden Army, and there may not be many Golden Army left nearby. However, the main force of the Golden Army is marching south to attack Bianliang, and the one who stays in Bianliang is General Zong Ze."

  Wang Jin's thick eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he hadn't spoken for half a day. If the Eastern Capital was recaptured by the Golden Army again, then the main force of the Golden Army would definitely return. At that time, he and Zhao Chen would have even less opportunity to contact the righteous army and raise their flags for revenge. And now they were trapped in the enemy camp, once they entered the Golden Army's large camp, they would become slaves of the Golden people, and it would be difficult to escape at that time, so they had to think of a way.

  "Tonight, at midnight..." Wang Jin gave Zhao Chen a signal with his eyes, then said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness. The Jurchen-led army is also human, once I recover my strength, I'll kill those Jurchen dogs. There are dozens of people who were captured together with us, plus my martial arts skills, what's there to fear about killing a few Jurchen dogs? You can't be captured by the Jurchen army, you need to lead an army to resist them, I will fight to the death to protect Your Highness and the princess."

  Listening to Wang Jin's words, Zhao Chen stared at the dozen or so robust Golden Soldiers chatting and laughing in the distance, his heart tightened and his scalp felt numb. Are they going to kill the Golden Soldiers tonight? With his current physical condition? Meanwhile, Princess Xing remained silent, leaning against Zhao Chen's chest and trembling slightly.

  The Jin army ventured into the area where the rebel army was rampant to fight against the bandits, obviously also taking a great risk. Although the main force of the rebel army is not here, there are still many nearby rebel armies, bandits and mountain thieves. Being able to penetrate the areas where the defeated soldiers, escaped soldiers and mountain thieves are rampant, it shows that this group of Jin soldiers has enough courage, and they don't care about the mountain thieves, bandits and rebel army at all.

  However, underestimating the enemy is a serious mistake, and they had arrived near this chaotic region. The Jurchen troops were still extremely cautious, taking their troops on a detour through small paths, even marching at night. The caution of the Jurchen soldiers greatly surprised Wang Jin, if these Jurchens did not rest throughout the entire night, he would have no chance to escape.
