124. Brother goodbye
Just because of escorting a large number of goods, Xiao Feng's journey along the way was not fast. On the third day after leaving the Wanyan Division, I came to the Huibai Division, which was close to the Wanyan Division. Seeing that the sun was rising, Xiao Feng immediately ordered the whole army to rest and rest for the time being. He is now the king of the Southern Courtyard and not a pawn under the tent, and after giving an order, he has his own room to arrange detailed affairs with Yelu Moge.
After the whole army had lunched, Yelu Moge was about to give the order to be pulled, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the room where he was out and walked in happily. Brother Yelu Mo had a good relationship with the room, and when he saw him full of spring breeze, he couldn't help but quip: "What? Which girl did you fall in love with? ”
Although Xiao Feng is a bold person, he is very strict in governing the army, and he has followed Xiao Feng in the room for more than a month, and has seen his talent as a soldier with his own eyes. At this time, hearing Yelu Moge teasing him like this, he couldn't help glaring at him angrily and said: "The king strictly orders not to bully women and children, you don't wronged me!" ”
Brother Yelu Mo knew that he was speechless, and couldn't help but smile.
But Xiao Feng, who was sitting behind the case, smiled when he saw this: "Since you didn't fall in love with any beauty, why did you like it?" ”
The room knew that Xiao Feng was informal, but he was not afraid of him. Hearing Xiao Feng's question, he immediately ran forward, took out a Jiaozi from his bosom and said, "Fang Cai's subordinates went out to hang out, and they got this!" ”
Xiao Feng looked down, but saw that what he was holding in the room was a Jiaozi with a denomination of 100 yuan, and on this Jiaozi was the vermilion seal of "Huitong Qianzhuang"! Xiao Feng was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Huitong Qianzhuang? ”
The room thought that Xiao Feng didn't know the name of "Huitong Bank", and immediately said: "The king doesn't know, this Huitong Money Village is run by the Central Plains, and it has always had an outstanding reputation. Nowadays, there are several semicolons in Beijing and Nanjing! The Huibu who traded with his subordinates said that he was too far away and did not want to go to Beijing to withdraw money, so he gave this hand over to his subordinates for a price of 80 yuan, which is very cheap! ”
Xiao Feng's complexion changed rapidly, and after a while, Fang said: "Since there is no semicolon of Huitong Qianzhuang here, how did the Huibao people get this Jiaozi?" ”
"I got it from the Wanyan Division." The room said with a smile, "My subordinates heard from the Hui Bu that a few days ago, the Wanyan Department sent people back and forth to buy mountain goods, and it was with this Jiaozi that they paid the bills. I can't imagine that these students look at the barbarism, and there are a few children in their hands. ”
Xiao Feng's face was even more strange, and he only said in a deep voice: "Those Jurchens are still wearing animal skins, where did they come from?" Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and commanded Yelu Mogo. Brother Mo, you go back to Beijing first to resume your life, and I won't go with you if I have something. After that, he didn't care what Yelu Mogo's reaction was, so he walked out of the camp, turned over and whipped away.
After Bao Wei left, Xue Muhua accompanied Murong Fu with several entourages and two carriages full of ginseng for another day in the mountains. He is a doctor, so he is naturally more concerned about ginseng and other precious medicinal materials. Seeing Murong Fu rubbing on the ground, he couldn't help but step forward and urge: "My lord, although these ginsengs are still buried in the soil, they have lost the nourishment of the earth qi after all, and they won't be able to let it go for long!" "It turned out that in order to preserve the medicinal effect of ginseng to the greatest extent, the ginseng purchased by Murong Fu this time was bought together with the ginseng and soil.
Murong Fu let out a soft "um" and asked calmly, "So what?" ”
Xue Muhua almost wanted to smoke him, but he endured it and whispered: "Didn't the adults say that there is a way to preserve the medicinal effect of ginseng?" ”
"Wash the ginseng, steam it twice in a cage drawer, and then dry it. In this way, the efficacy of the drug is guaranteed. Murong replied. This method is the method used to make red ginseng, and it is rumored to have been created by Nu/Erhachi. Red ginseng is a great tonic for vitality and has curative effects on heart failure and cardiogenic shock, but Murong Fu often dealt with red ginseng in his previous life.
Xue Muhua saw that Murong Fu casually said the priceless secret recipe for storing ginseng, and he was stunned for a while. I saw him blink his eyes, and after a long time, he held back a sentence: "My lord, is this true?" ”
Murong Fu didn't speak, only glanced sideways at Xue Muhua.
Xue Muhua's hair stood on end at this understatement, and he lowered his head in shame. However, after a while, he raised his head again and said excitedly: "Ginseng can save people's lives, and even adults' heart diseases can be gradually relieved." With this secret recipe, you can live in the world for thousands of people, and the merit is immeasurable! ”
Murong Fu said indifferently: "It's a pity! Only this hammer deal! ”
Xue Muhua was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”
This time, without waiting for Murong to reply, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind them. Everyone followed the prestige, but saw a tall man dressed as a Khitan galloping across a black horse with a black body. About a few feet away from them, the man suddenly squeezed the horse's back, and the whole person rose into the air and stood in front of Murong Fu's horse like a floating cloud.
The person who came was Xiao Feng.
"Mr. Xiao!" Xue Muhua had dealt with Xiao Feng and knew his skills, and was taken aback when he saw him chasing after him.
Murong Fu still had a calm face, as if Xiao Feng's actions were all expected by him. I saw him arch his hand to Xiao Feng, and said with a smile: "Big brother, Shaolin has always been good?" ”
Xiao Feng glanced at Murong Fu deeply, and said slowly: "Sure enough, it's you!" ”
"Seems to be good. Looking at the eldest brother's dress, I want to come to the Khitan spring breeze proudly. In this way, the little brother is also relieved. Murong Fu said to himself, but although he said "rest assured" in his mouth, his eyes were always cold.
When Xiao Feng was in the Central Plains, he was the leader of the beggar gang, always wearing a gray cloth robe with patches, and he looked very depressed. Now he is the king of the Southern Courtyard in Daliao, and he has a confidante around him to take care of him, although his clothes and appearance are not as vulgar as the Khitan nobles who are used to wearing gold and silver, but he is also very neat in brocade. Xiao Feng and Murong Fu have known each other for ten years and know his abilities very well. With his understanding of Murong Fu, Murong Fu appeared here, and things were by no means simple. Seeing Murong Fu avoid answering his own question, he couldn't help but ask again: "What is your conspiracy after coming to Yanbu?" ”
"Conspiracy?" Murong Fu's eyes were even colder, and he suddenly smiled softly and said quietly. "Big brother, are you asking me this second brother as a righteous brother, or are you asking me as Xiao Feng, the king of the Great Liaoning Southern Academy, to give this Great Song Sipin to Murong Fu?"
Murong Fu asked this, Xiao Feng was silent immediately, and sighed for a long time: "Between you and me, the love and righteousness have been exhausted. Big brother and second brother, there is no need to mention this again. ”
Xiao Feng's words were so decisive that even Xue Muhua on the side couldn't help but change color slightly. On the contrary, Murong Fu was stunned, and only smiled: "Big brother think twice!" You and I have known each other for many years, and the eldest brother should know the temperament of the younger brother. If you and I can't be friends......"
"You can only be the enemy!" Xiao Feng answered senran.
"Happy!" Murong Fu immediately praised it. There was still a smile on his face, but there was only cruelty in his eyes.
"No more nonsense! What is the conspiracy of the Yan Department after you came here? Xiao Feng asked again, and his tone was much harsher than just now.
Murong Fu still didn't answer, but replied quietly: "King Xiao is loyal, and he will definitely be able to assist Lord Liao to achieve great things one day." Congratulations! ”
Xiao Feng's heart moved when he heard this, and he suddenly said: "It turns out that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who escorted the New Year's coins ......" Xiao Feng knew that he was just a common man in the Great Song Dynasty, where was it enough to make the emperor worry? But if Murong Fu deliberately provoked him and Yelu Hongji, then it would make sense.
"It's Senior Brother Qin." Murong Fu saw that he finally understood, and he was also satisfied and smiled. "Senior Brother Qin and King Xiao haven't seen each other for a long time, and I am very worried about King Xiao!"
Xiao Feng suddenly changed color, and said abruptly after a long time: "Since you have already made up your mind, why don't you ambush and kill me outside Yanmen Pass?" "Xiao Feng is reckless in the rivers and lakes, where will this kind of officialdom be Murong Fu's opponent? Now that Xiao Feng is the king of the Southern Courtyard of Daliao, if Murong Fu has the heart to deal with him in the officialdom, he doesn't know what is going on even if Xiao Feng dies.
At the mention of Yanmen Pass, Murong Fu's gaze couldn't help but froze slightly. At that moment, Xue Muhua, who was accompanying Murong Fu, immediately keenly felt that the momentum around him had weakened. However, before Xue Muhua could figure out what was going on, Murong Fu had already perked up again, and smiled casually: "This life is long and boring, it is rare to have an interesting opponent, how can I be willing to let King Xiao die so quickly?" …… So, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry? ”
Xu is Murong Fu's carelessness finally angered Xiao Feng, and Xu is old and new hatreds from the past finally came to his heart at this time. I saw Xiao Feng's eyes red and furious, and he roared loudly: "Murong Fu! ”
This roar was like a shout, and the ten entourages who were originally scattered around Murong Fu immediately covered Murong Fu behind him, and the tunnel guns in their hands were pointed at Xiao Feng in unison.
Xiao Feng looked at the ten flintlock pistols in amazement, and only heard Murong Fu still say slowly in that frivolous and mocking tone: "King Xiao, I know that you are strong in martial arts. It's just that no matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of fire/guns! ”
Xiao Feng looked at Murong Fu silently, his familiar face still exquisite. But he only felt that the face did not look like a living person, but just a realistic doll, which made people feel strange and palpitating. It was at this moment that Fang really realized what it meant to "not be a friend, but only an enemy".
"Okay, don't tease King Xiao." Xiao Feng was at a loss, and Murong Fu suddenly burst out laughing. "I am waiting for King Xiao here, because I have good news to share with King Xiao." He paused, and said with a straight face. "Big brother, the Lanqing defense line has been built!"
Xiao Feng's face instantly showed a touch of ecstasy when he heard this, but before this joy reached the bottom of his eyes, his expression froze again. “…… You will use troops against Western Xia! ”
"This time it's a battle to destroy the country!" Murong Fu didn't deny it, "With this flintlock pistol, big brother, do you think my chances of winning are big?" ”
Xiao Feng's mind turned, and he immediately said: "Da Liao and Western Xia are dependent on each other, if the Great Song Dynasty uses troops against Western Xia, Da Liao will never sit idly by...... With the combat strength of the Western Army, it cannot withstand a two-sided battle, unless it ......"
"Those Jurchens are savage and fierce, and they are born soldiers. With their help, the pressure on the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty will be much lighter! I saw Murong Fu looking down at his white and clean fingers, and said word by word. Big brother, you shouldn't come! ”
Murong Fu's voice did not fall, and Xiao Feng changed color when he landed.
Turn the tiger away from the mountain!
As soon as Xiao Feng left, with the skills of Yelu Moge and the room, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep the tribute of the Jurchens. The Liao lord Yelu Hongji was brutal and stubborn, and he would definitely ask Wanyan for his guilt and ask for tribute. And Wanyan was wronged for no reason, and he would also hold a grudge against the Khitan.
"Wait!" Seeing that Xiao Feng turned his head to leave, Murong Fu immediately shouted. "King Xiao, it's too late to go back at this time. Instead of running in vain, there are still a few heartfelt words here, I don't know if King Xiao would like to hear it? ”
Xiao Feng also knew that he had left the camp for two days, and it was in vain to rush back at this time. I saw that he slowly took two breaths, calmed down and asked, "You knew that I was the one in charge of collecting the tribute this time?" ”
Murong Fu shook his head lightly and said coldly: "Is it you, does it matter?" ”
Xiao Feng also nodded, he already understood the meaning of Murong Fu's words. If he leads the team, he is afraid of his martial arts, so he tries to lure him away; If he didn't lead the team, then the people who led the team would be killed together. So, it really doesn't matter.
"It's just that the matter has come to this point, how will the eldest brother explain to Yelu Hongji when he goes back?" Unexpectedly, Murong Fu frowned, but he was sincerely worried about Xiao Feng. "Intercede for Wanyan? Yelu Hongji will think that the eldest brother is inviting people to buy people's hearts. Don't plead for Wanyan? That's right for the little brother's calculation. So, let's be honest? Will you tell Yelu Hongji and Pan what you said to your younger brother today? The younger brother heard that the Liao lord was ambitious, if he used this as an excuse to order the eldest brother to lead the troops south, how should the eldest brother deal with himself? ”
Xiao Feng stared at Murong Fu in silence, clenched his fists tightly, and was speechless for a long time.
Murong Fu didn't know, frowned and thought for a moment, and sighed sincerely. "Song Liao is a long-cherished enemy, and he will never die! I grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, and I was a Khitan. His Majesty forced me to raise troops to the south to attack the Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty would not let go of the Great Liao after the Western Xia leveled. I'm in a dilemma, why don't I hang up the crown and beg to go, and be at ease! Big brother, do you think so? ”
Xiao Feng's ears were hot for a while, and he was speechless. I could only hear Murong Fu's cold voice, like the evening drum and morning bell, and every word was beating on his heart.
"Big brother, do you remember what you said when you persuaded me to go out? Say, "What is right, do it!" You say, "Though there are thousands of people, I will go to it!" You say, justice is in the hearts of the people! You say, speak up with righteousness, and die generously! Why is it that now that it's really your turn, it's all? Big brother, what about your righteousness? What about your bravery? What about your ways? You are at ease, and the people of the world may be at ease? ”
Xiao Feng took a deep breath of cold air and said slowly: "Lord Murong, the Khitan people are also one of the people in the world. ”
"When the Khitans were threshing grass on the border of the Great Song Dynasty, did they treat the Han people as people? When the Khitans divided the Jurchens into raw and ripe and divided and ruled, did they ever treat the Jurchens as people? Murong Fu immediately asked again.
Rao is Xiao Feng's martial arts are profound, and he is sweating at the moment. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "If I continue to be an official, I will inevitably go to the end of the mountains and rivers; If I put on my crown and beg to go, but I forsake the world. How do you want me to choose? ”
"How do I know what you should choose?" Murong Fu heard Xiao Feng's question, and laughed unceremoniously. "I'm just reminding you of the past, reminding you of the future. Big brother, you can think slowly from now on! …… Oh, and by the way, one more thing! The blood feud of the respected master Xuanku Zen master, has the eldest brother figured out how to solve it? ”
Watching Xiao Feng leave from afar, Xue Muhua's heart was filled with a trace of unbearability. After a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what kind of grudge do you have with Xiao Feng?" ”
Murong Fu turned his head to look at Xue Muhua for a while, and said softly: "I killed one of his dearest relatives and deceived him for ten years. So, it's he who has a deep hatred for me. As for me, as long as he is willing to turn back, we can still be good friends. ”
Xue Muhua choked immediately, and then said helplessly: "Since you want him to turn back, why do you need to say this?" ”
"Who said I wanted him to turn back?" Murong Fu immediately retorted and said confidently. "I just...... I'm not happy, so don't think about being happy! ”
Xue Muhua really didn't want to talk to Murong Fu, so he only said secretly in his heart: You have made trouble to this point today, Xiao Feng has not killed you with one palm, and his affection for you is really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!
