After staying in Fangshan County for nearly five days, Xiao Qi, who arrived at Fenglingdu, sent his current location and arrangements over, and Xu Buling was able to set off and go to Fenglingdu to meet.

Ning Qingye was forcibly kissed again, needless to say, what kind of reaction he had. For a few days, they basically hid far away, and they refused to let Xu Buling help anymore when they changed their wound medicine, and they even held their swords when they slept, and the two of them lived in the same house, but they couldn't see each other from morning to night, and they ate separately.

Xu Buling knows Qingye's temperament, and he doesn't know how to deal with the lack of affection since he was a child, and he needs to think about it for a long time to recover, so he naturally doesn't chase after it.

As the eldest grandson of the general Xu Lie and the young master of the Xiliang Army, Xu Buling even if he can't manage the east, it is impossible to hide in the house and flirt with beauties when he is fighting in the east.

On the second day of arrival, the imperial court sent a letter of commendation in an expedited manner for 800 miles, and the disposition of Jiang Kai was to let Xu Buling decide for himself.

For this kind of common speech of officialdom superiors to subordinates, Xu Buling naturally understands the meaning, isn't it just to let him 'look longer'.

In Xiao Qi's letter, there was already a plan, for the greater benefit in the future, Xu Buling didn't mind shaking hands with the imperial court first. The prince Jiang Kai was left in the Fangshan County military camp and escorted to Chang'an by the border army, where he became a prisoner of Dayue in case of future emergencies.

And Xu Buling's reply to the imperial court is naturally 'The Xu family has the duty to defend the land, enjoy the favor of the Son of Heaven, eat the people's picking, and defeat the enemy on the battlefield is a matter of duty, and dare not ask for anything more', which means that 'the reward has been given enough before, and it is appropriate to work hard for the court, you don't have to think about how to reward'.

As for the reaction of the imperial court, there will naturally be no result in a short period of time, this is just an introduction, and it depends on how the situation changes in the future.

Although the prince Jiang Kai and the divine arrow Yang Kuan stayed, it is definitely impossible for the wind-chasing horse to be given to the imperial court, good horses are rare objects everywhere, for Xu Buling, the two wind-chasing horses are more valuable than Jiang Kai, so they rushed to Fenglingdu to load the boat.

In the blink of an eye, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, at twilight, in Quzhuang on the north bank of the salt lake in Hedong, three wind-chasing horses stopped on the official road, and Xu Buling and Ning Qingye entered the inn in the town together.

Hedong is the capital of the Xia Dynasty in ancient times, where Jin, Qin and Henan meet, and it is regarded as the transportation hub in the middle of Dayue. Tens of thousands of people came from the north to escape the war in Hexi, while the endless Guanzhong army went upstream, heading to the north to retreat from the enemy.

There were too many deserters, and the inns in the town were almost full of people, and even Xu Buling spent three times the price of the room to squeeze out an upper room from the inn for the two of them to settle down.

There was a commotion in the lobby of the inn, all talking about the situation in the north, and there was all sorts of nonsense and everything.

Ning Qingye wore a hat and sat at the wine table by the window, his eyes were on a few tables of Jianghu people, and he was also listening to the news from the north. Seeing Xu Buling coming, he turned his face to the street outside the window.

Xu Buling set up the priceless wind chasing horse, came to sit down across the table, and sighed softly:

"I just asked the shopkeeper, there are too many people who have crossed the Yellow River to avoid the war recently, and the inns in the town are overcrowded, this room is still wasted a lot of effort, and it can only be ...... overnight if it is vacated from the hands of a foreigner."

Ning Qingye turned his face and frowned slightly: "There are so many people sleeping on the streets outside, it's not that I can't see it." ”

Xu Buling picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will misunderstand that I deliberately only opened one room." ”

Ning Qingye picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, and said in a flat tone: "Walking the rivers and lakes, this kind of thing is very common, we can take turns to keep vigil at night, if you don't want to, I can keep it all night." ”

There was obviously a three-point coldness in the words, not very close. Xu Buling put the wine glass in front of Ning Qingye and said with a smile:

"What? Still not out of gas? ”

Ning Qingye's personality was originally straightforward, and when he heard this, he put down the dishes and chopsticks:

"How do you let me get angry? In Chang'an City, I will be wrong when you come, and I came again a few days ago! My innocent daughter's family has nothing to do with you, and your behavior like this is ...... What's the difference with those gentlemen who bully men and women? ”

Xu Buling raised his hand and made a shushing gesture:

"There are a lot of people in the inn, we'll talk later."

Ning Qingye glanced left and right a few times, his voice was slightly suppressed, and he snorted softly:

"When I was in Chang'an City, I heard Mr. Storyteller say that you 'bully men and women, and force good people to become prostitutes'......"

"It's 'forcing a good wife to be ......'"

"You ......"

Ning Qing held back for a long time at night and simply stopped talking.

Xu Buling chuckled and began to pour himself a drink.

Quzhuang is still two hundred miles away from Fenglingdu, and with the strength of the feet of chasing the wind horse, it should be able to return to the boat tomorrow afternoon.

will continue to be wheeled by the ladies soon, Xu Buling is in a very good mood, dining and leisure, and also listening to the gossip of the three religions and nine streams.

If you want to say that the fastest delivery of news, in addition to the 800-mile urgent post station of the imperial court, there is only the mouth of the Jianghu people. In some cases, the news of the rivers and lakes is even faster than the official ones.

As soon as the meal was halfway through, a few Jianghu guests who had just arrived at the inn talked to each other and attracted the attention of the two:

"I heard that something big happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Eagle Tower rebelled over there, and took millions of thieves to attack the city everywhere, and they were about to defeat Hangzhou......"

"Yes, there was just an accident in the north, and I heard that the Liaoxi Army ran back halfway through, and there was not even a ...... to counterinsurgency."

"What then? Don't want Gangnam anymore? ……”

The inn was originally a place where the three religions and nine streams gathered, and in the event of war, what news quickly attracted everyone's attention and began to participate in the discussion.

Ning Qingye frowned, listened to a few words, and asked:

"Hey, there are more than a million anti-thieves in Jiangnan? Was it pulled up by Li Hansheng? ”

Xu Buling knew that Qing Ye hated Li Hansheng very much, and the trouble in Jiangnan would deepen the hostility. He shook his head:

"Not as many as a million, but there are definitely 100,000 or 200,000. Everything is planned by King Wu behind his back, directed and acted by himself, and has little to do with Li Hansheng. ”

"Why are they doing this?"

"Hmmm......"

Xu Buling thought about it, and before he could brew the words, a few talking charlatans helped him answer:

"Jiangnan is in a mess, King Wu can't hold it back, I heard that Jiangnan has just been announced, and the impeachment of today's ......"

Jianghu Ke said this, his voice was lowered a little, he looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no official errand, he pointed in the direction of Chang'an with his hand:

“…… Impeach the current saint, what does it say: "Since he succeeded to the throne, he has carried out tyranny and torture, excesses heavy taxes and looted people's fat, and raised heavy soldiers and failed to fulfill his responsibility to defend the territory......, resulting in the loss of border passes and rebellion in Jiangnan, and he has lost the responsibility of the emperor and is not worthy of being a king."

"Hum—"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the inn shrank their necks, some got up and left, so as not to get into trouble, and some cautiously approached a few points to ask if it was true or false.

When Xu Buling heard this, he was also slightly stunned, he didn't expect King Wu to move so fast.

Ning Qing listened to it at night, but he could empathize with the article 'Tyranny and Torture'.

After Song Ji ascended the throne, the 'Iron Eagle Hunting Deer', the rivers and lakes killed were full of blood, and I don't know how many rivers and lakes were wiped out, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as 'tyrannical torture'. As long as you are a Jianghu person, you basically feel that you have spoken it in your heart when you hear this.

Ning Qingye thought about it, and in order to prevent the idle talk from being heard by others, he got up and sat down in front of Xu Buling, approached and asked in a low voice:

"King Wu rebelled?"

Xu Buling drank the wine with a flat expression, and responded softly:

"It's not a rebellion, it's a desire to 'abolish the emperor and establish a new'. Just like King Wu's war, the Son of Heaven has no way, and the people are harmed, and the grandmaster, vassal king, and courtiers can unite to depose the monarch, and there are not many emperors who have been deposed in history, but most of them are caused by the emperor's inability to suppress the court, relatives, and princes from all walks of life. ”

Ning Qingye was slightly puzzled: "The emperor can still be dismissed?" ”

"Naturally, when he loses his prestige and the people under him are disobedient, the emperor is just an ordinary person. However, it is a bit difficult to abolish the throne of Song Ji. King Wu told the world that Song Ji had been charged with several crimes, 'tyranny and torture, heavy taxes, loss of territory, and ignorance of disasters', which could indeed be grounds for deposing the emperor. However, since Song Ji succeeded to the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, rewarded and punished, and has a very good reputation among the hundred officials. As long as the Manchu civil and military did not agree, it was impossible for the emperor to be deposed. ”

"What then?"

"Since King Wu has made it clear, he will definitely not listen to Song Ji's words as a vassal king. If it was a normal time, Song Ji would definitely send troops to destroy King Wu, but now that something happened in the north, it was difficult to pacify King Wu in time. If my guess is correct, the king of Wu will soon form an alliance with the kings of Wei and Yu, and will not send troops to the north to pay tribute, forcing Song Ji to abdicate and make way for Xian. If Song Ji does not retreat, he will find a reason to send troops to attack Guanzhong. Well...... Now the meaning of the king of Chu is very important, the king of Chu is sandwiched between the two sides, and the soldiers are strong and strong, if he stands on the side of Song Ji, he must send the king of Chu to level the three kings in the east, if he stands on the side of the south of the Yangtze River, the four vassal kings join forces, Song Ji is isolated and helpless, and it is basically gone. ”

Ning Qingye seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and thought about it:

"Didn't the emperor have a lot of soldiers? Can't beat these princes? ”

"It's beating."

Xu Buling sighed: "But now that Northern Qi has committed a big offense, if Song Ji transfers the army back and goes to the three kings in the east, it is equivalent to giving up half of the country to Northern Qi, if you really do this, it doesn't need to be said that the three kings join forces, and all officials can abolish Song Ji." ”

Ning Qingye understood this time: "Brothers are on the wall, now that the enemy country is invading, the emperor is busy guarding the border pass, King Wu is rebelling at this time, isn't it taking advantage of the danger of others!" ”

Xu Buling spread his hand slightly: "This is how strategy is played, in peacetime, where do the three kings of the east dare to jump out and make noise, even my father can only squat in Xiliang honestly." ”

Ning Qingye thought about it carefully, and then asked: "You have a grudge against the emperor, if you also stand up at this time and join forces with those princes, will the emperor betray his relatives and leave directly?" ”

Xu Buling chuckled: "The Seven Kings are combined, in this case, Song Ji will definitely be gone." However, the three kings of the east jumped back, and if they succeeded, the Song family became the emperor, and they still cut me when they turned around, and it was no good, why should I help them stand in line? ”

"So what are you supposed to do?"

"Look at how the King of Chu says, the King of Chu snatched the jade seal on Bodhi Island, he must want to be the emperor himself. It is estimated that the skin will be repeatedly jumped sideways for a period of time. I'm on the Western Regions side, so I can't get off the field for the time being, so I'll go back and get married first, and then I'll talk about it when they finish standing in line. ”

Ning Qingye nodded slightly, didn't talk much in the field he was not good at, looked at a few high-minded people in the rivers and lakes, and continued to listen to these people's nonsense.

Xu Buling listened for a moment, did not hear any more valuable information, and after eating in two bites, he got up and said:

"Let's go upstairs and sleep."

“……”

Ning Qingye's expression froze, and gradually returned to his cold appearance......
