Chapter 420: Negotiation (2-in-1)
On the way here, Wen Sheng thought that she was average in eloquence, and it would not be easy to persuade Jiang Xianyan and gain the trust of the other party.
So she was ready to take a different path.
"Lord Jiang, tonight, while everyone was outside to enjoy the lanterns, General Lin's mansion guarded the emptiness, ventured in and rescued our friend surnamed Yun."
Jiang Xianyan snorted lightly.
Even if Wen Sheng didn't say anything about this, he already knew that his good nephew ran to him in a hurry just now, wanting to ask Yan Bai to take action to treat that person's injuries.
Not only this one, but what happened on Santai Street tonight, as well as the paper-like papers flying all over the city, he suspected that his nephew and this Gu Wensheng were inseparable.
What is the grievance to the young lady of the Tong family, to put it mildly, this Gu Wensheng wants to create a riot and divert everyone's attention, so as to take advantage of the chaos to save people, and to put it bigger, it will intensify the contradictions after Emperor Nanchong and cause the people to be uneasy. In addition, she pointed the finger at Lin Shinan, and this pile all showed that the woman in front of her wanted to cause turmoil in the Nanchong government and the opposition, and she had no time to look north and buy time for Daliang.
He didn't debunk the other party, he just wanted to see how the other party justified himself.
But what Wen Sheng said next greatly exceeded Jiang Xianyan's expectations.
"The small building of the Lin family is heavily guarded, if it is not inferior to the practice of the "Tomorrow's True Scripture", the martial arts are high, and it is difficult to enter unscathed."
"Miss Gu doesn't have to be humble, there is no stupid thing, you only rely on this guqin, it is like entering a no-man's land." Jiang Xianyan couldn't help but sneer.
Wen Sheng smiled and didn't argue with him.
"I'm not inferior to curiosity. I couldn't understand why General Lin colluded with the ghost boy, not only quietly brought him back to Jiatong, but also helped him heal his dying wounds. hid at home and didn't let people know, and let him arrange people to assassinate the emperor and important ministers in the court, so after saving people, he looked around the building. ”
Wen Sheng knew that in Jiang Xianyan's heart, the country was much more important than the family, and sure enough, when it came to such a major event. He immediately restrained his contempt and became solemn.
"General Lin secretly enshrined a tablet of one person in that building, and the tablet reads 'Huaigong's Spiritual Seat'. After seeing Buxun, I was very puzzled, do you know, who is this 'Huaigong', and what is the relationship with General Lin? ”
Between words. She wrote the word "Huai" with her fingers on the table next to her.
Jiang Xianyan looked at the slippery desktop and was a little distracted. After stopping for a while, he ordered someone to serve tea.
This is the meaning of not sleeping for a long time.
Wen Sheng asked softly, "My lord, do you know General Lin?" Where is his ancestral hometown, what elders are there in the family, and who did he learn to lead soldiers to war? ”
Lin Shinan's ancestral home is Jingshan, Hezhou, which is an unknown small town in Nanchong along the Feiyun River, and until his grandfather's generation was a farming family.
Lin Shinan's father worked as an apprentice in the town as a child, and later returned to the village to farm and work as a blacksmith at the same time. It wasn't until the year when he was not confused that he married his daughter-in-law and gave birth to Lin Shinan.
Lin Shinan has been stronger than other children since he was a child. At the age of seven or eight, he met an unknown chivalrous warrior who was hiding from the war, and the man saw that he was a good seedling who practiced martial arts, so he stayed and taught him kung fu for a few years, and then he drifted away, not knowing what to do.
Lin Shinan didn't know that his skills were enough to break into the world, guarding his father and mother in the village until he was almost thirty, so poor that he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law, until more than 20 years ago, it rained heavily in the sky, and it had been raining for more than a month, and the Feiyun River burst its embankment, flooding most of Hezhou, and the hardest hit was Jingshan.
According to the survivors' recollections, the trees and houses were all flooded, and when you look at it, there is white water all around, and if it weren't for the various things floating on the water, countless corpses, it would be like being in the sea.
At that time, the first emperor was still on the throne, and it was precisely because of this natural disaster that it caused a year-long turmoil in the court, and the princes had accidents one after another, and finally asked Liang Xi to pick up a little doll and pick up the cheap.
Lin Shinan's parents died in the flood, and he escaped alone, so he simply joined the army.
After joining the army, Lin Shinan quickly stood out and entered the eyes of the metropolitan governor Luo Xingchao, General Luo tried his best to cultivate him, and Lin Shinan himself was also angry, and soon came out of the blue.
When Luo Xingchao died, Lin Shinan received his descendants, married the daughter of the Wu family, and climbed into relatives with the Taishi Wu Deshui, and it didn't take long to become the first person in the military.
Jiang Xianyan and Lin Shinan have worked together for many years, Mrs. Wu and Lin Shinan's wife are cousins, the two are brothers-in-law, and their personal relationship is not bad, so they know Lin Shinan's life experience and resume in detail, and they don't need to check it, just open their mouths.
This information usually sounds like nothing, but now that I think about it, it makes people feel a little strange.
In addition to his wife, Lin Shinan is alone, let alone his parents, and he can't even find a distant relative. Moreover, the common people who lived in Jingshan at the same time as him almost died cleanly, and even if there were occasional survivors at that time, twenty years later, there was nowhere to be found.
When the tea was served, Di Qiuheng stepped forward and poured two cups with a pot.
Jiang Xianyan took the cup in his hand and turned it gently, as if he was in deep thought, and was silent for a long time.
Wen Sheng reminded softly: "Lord Jiang, the younger generation is lonely and unheard, and there is only one person who can be called 'Huaigong', my former commander of the Jiangbei battalion in Liang, Huai Yingxiang, General Huai." I wonder what adults think? ”
Jiang Xianyan raised his eyebrows and glanced at her: "You are from Daliang, why are you talking to me about this?" If Lin Shinan has served me Nanchong for so many years, in fact, he has a bad intention, wouldn't it be exactly what you want? ”
Wen Sheng shook his head slightly.
"This is all just speculation, don't hide it from my lord, I have a master who served in front of Huaishuai's tent back then, and he is very handsome, whether your General Lin is an old man in his army, or a descendant of Huaishuai, I will find out when I go back and ask."
Speaking of this, she put this topic aside and asked Jiang Xianyan: "Lord Jiang, although Nanchong is better than Liang on the surface, it is also an internal and external trouble, let me ask, what kind of situation do you want to see, and what do you want Nanchong's future to become?" ”
Jiang Xianyan almost didn't think much about it, and said lightly: "The treasury is full. The army is invincible, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. Apparently, these three goals were hovering in his mind for a long time.
He thought that Wen Sheng would feel uncomfortable when he heard him say that the army was invincible, but Wen Sheng smiled after hearing it.
It was a real joy from the heart. Radiant, the smile looks very moving.
"Fortunately, my lord, you didn't say that you would fulfill the last wish of King Nanyuan, kill back to Fengjing, and rule the world." The corners of Wen Sheng's mouth curled, and when he said the words "dominate the world", he couldn't help but show a little mockery.
"If it's not troublesome, then it's fine." Jiang Xianyan continued.
Wen Sheng was relieved, she vaguely felt that she had found a shortcut to end the war as soon as possible: "If you fight, you will die." It is the common people who suffer, even if it is the victorious side. My lord, if you want peace and prosperity. If the people will no longer suffer, then we will be the same. ”
She paused, and added: "My lord, the people of Daliang are also living people." ”
Jiang Xianyan remained silent. glanced at her: "You represent Li Chengyun and Ji Nantang?" A truce was negotiated in the future. Have you done the Lord? ”
Wen Sheng smiled, not at all as if he was not asked: "What you said is that I am under the command of Grandpa Guo, just like your position in the Southern Chong Dynasty." This is just an intention, General Ji led the army is still fighting against the Ledden people and the Dongyi people, driving them out of Daliang, this is the first step, and there are still many things to be done next. There is still a long way to go in the middle of fighting or making peace with Nanchong. It's the same here, my lord. It's better for us to form an alliance first, and wait to see how things develop later. ”
Jiang Xianyan was a little moved, the top priority was to solve the collusion between Lin Shinan and the ghost boy, what did he want? According to what Gu Wensheng said, it is not impossible to leave one more way.
"Forget about forming an alliance, in a few days, when you and Bu Inferior become relatives, you and I are a family, you have to take good care of Bu Inferior in the future, look at him, don't go to the crooked road."
When he said this, Jiang Xianyan squinted, he didn't believe that Gu Wensheng, a talented musician with a background and a future, would be willing to marry his nephew.
Even if he is a petty official on the side of Daliang, it can't be concealed that he hasn't read any books and is reckless. Besides, Da Liang is now in such a mess, a small military attache is worthless.
Wen Sheng thought about it, isn't it, the Jiang family was originally scheduled to marry her on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and the Shangyuan Festival was over, and it was indeed a few days.
She said: "It's not inferior, I'm willing to marry him." ”
Jiang Xianyan thought that she was a good hand at observing words and feelings, but she didn't find any reluctance in her expression.
Wen Sheng pondered slightly, and thought, "Anyway, tonight, I have already talked so much with Uncle Thirteen, and I am not afraid to tell the truth again." ”
"I know that adults are worried about their inferior bodies, and his exercises have a lot of drawbacks."
As soon as these words came out, not only the Di brothers were secretly surprised, but even Jiang Xianyan, who was invisible, was shocked, and almost squirted out the sip of tea that had just been drunk in his mouth.
How did she even know this?
Young Master Lu is really a strange person, even this is told to other girls, which makes everyone feel strange and unbelievable, how can he open this mouth?
Wen Sheng lowered his eyes and said: "I have already told Bu Xun that it is up to him to make his own decisions whether or not to disperse after getting married, and the result is that he will not disperse." ”
This is too normal, who told him to have such a strong wife, this is going to have no martial arts, it seems that he will not be angry at home in the future, and he will live a life of relying on others.
Even after Jiang Xianyan really came into contact with Wen Sheng tonight, he couldn't help but have this thought.
Is it right or wrong to blindly force that stupid boy to do his work like this?
Wen Sheng said again: "After he said it, I also feel that there is a benefit of not dispersing the gong, the current situation is chaotic, I almost lost my life this time, after the dispersal of the gong, if I encounter this kind of accident in the future, I may not be able to protect him." ”
If Wen Sheng talked about these things with Jiang Xianyan as soon as he came up, Jiang Xianyan would most likely think that this was her excuse, and the purpose was just to shirk and not want to get married.
But after the two chatted for a long time, Jiang Xianyan unconsciously calmed down a lot.
He frowned and said, "You don't know, as long as he practices that evil skill, it will affect his temperament, and he will become more and more irritable and murderous. Like Lu Hong's eldest brother, he was not born to be extremely vicious. I don't want to see him follow Lu Hongda's old path. ”
Wen Sheng nodded: "I am aware of this, which is why I brought Qin to see you tonight." I can use the sound of the piano to help him ease his restraint, although it can't be completely solved fundamentally, but it can be controlled for the time being, and it will not deteriorate further. ”
Speaking of which, Wen Sheng took the piano, and under Jiang Xianyan's nose, his fingers flicked and played "Logging".
She wants to ask Thirteen's uncle to feel it, so that she can change her mind and give Thirteen to herself.
There is a knot between the two nephews, if it is due to the temperament of thirteen, this knot is afraid that it will become tighter and tighter, from now on, Wen Sheng is ready to straighten out this knot as soon as possible.
This song "Logging" is in my ears, and there is no one who is not moved.
After she finished playing, Jiang Zhen said: "What are your plans, are you going to do it for the rest of your life?" ”
Wen Sheng said solemnly: "I haven't learned all the "Xisheng Spectrum", and my piano skills need to be improved, so I may not have a way to take "Tomorrow's True Scripture" in the future." So I want to ask for your consent, and in a few days I will return to Daliang. As for Brother Yunluyun, he is kind-hearted, helps the needy, and is a real chivalrous man, Lord Jiang, can you take him in temporarily. ”
Jiang Xianyan was stunned.
I heard Wen Sheng continue: "An adult is now facing many unknown dangers, you are an inferior uncle, the old lady only has a son like you, we don't want you to have an accident." Brother Yun's martial arts are very good, in our Daliang Jianghu people call it 'Qingming Knife', Dongyi's notorious killer Shang Qi died under his knife. Besides, we don't want to cut off contact with you, both public and private, if you have something to explain here, you can ask him to send a letter to Daliang. ”
Wen Sheng said this was also an inspiration, she hadn't discussed with Yun Lu before, and she wanted to arrange for him to stay in Nanchong, but now they really didn't have a better choice.
Yun Lu's two legs were seriously injured, and this level of injury to the muscles and bones, even if it was treated by Yan Bai, it would take a long time to recover slowly.
Or, everyone will be delayed in Nanchong for a few more months.
The war is in full swing on the side of the girder, which is obviously unrealistic.
It's better to ask Yunlu to stay first.
If Jiang Xianyan agreed, then it was bound to invite Yan Bai to treat Yunlu's injuries.
Wen Sheng's thoughts turned a few times in his heart, and he even thought of waiting to ask Tong Baishuang what her plans were for the future, whether she was going to Daliang, or going back to Chiyue Village, or did she feel that her homeland was difficult to leave and wanted to stay in Jiatong?
If she wants to stay, she can help Yunlu deliver the news through the "Jade Pan Yunshui".
Jiang Xianyan thought about it for a while, and agreed very happily: "Yes." But I also have one condition, before you leave, find a way to catch the ghost boy. (To be continued......)
