With Ah Gu's troubles, accumulating military exploits and finally being posthumously awarded the status of the Duke of the Kingdom, although Wanyan Wenqin's family is embarrassed in Yunzhong Mansion, it is only compared with various sons and brothers of the same level. A family that can enter the palace at any time, and the characters on the table can greet each other, and the annual reward is enough to make many ordinary people happy for a lifetime.

It's just that Jin Guo has just been established, many things and rules are in a turbulent period, some people are holding hot faces, no one is stepping on the cold threshold, Wanyan Wenqin's grandfather has passed away, and he is frail and sickly, and his family is predictable. In such an environment, it is only by being a big name that people feel resentful and aggrieved.

Wanyan Wenqin grew up in such an environment, and he couldn't practice martial arts and could only write essays, but to be honest, growing up in the Jurchen clan, under the premise that everyone admired bravery, he didn't have such an environment for learning literature around him - although Gu Shen is knowledgeable, it is also because of his strong martial arts that he is respected. Wanyan Wenqin has been snubbed and ridiculed since he was a child—at least that's what he thinks—and his mind to learn literature has gradually faded.

But he likes to listen to books and stories.

In the early years, the Jurchen rose and destroyed the Liao and the martial arts, no matter the Liao people, there were knowledgeable people, and the family found some teachers for him, and the grumpy Wanyan Wenqin was tired of hearing it, beat and scolded people, and even killed a few old things with a sword. But he has always had the habit of listening to stories, and in the early years, an old scholar who had been captured from the Wu Dynasty gradually became loved by Wanyan Wenqin.

The old scholar of the Wu Dynasty told the story in a fascinating and by no means vulgar way, and told him some stories or taught him some southern idioms or vocabulary. Wanyan Wenqin didn't notice it at first, and said a few words and sentences between him and others, and explained, the family felt that the little master was smart, and there was hope in the family, so they praised and boasted, and Wanyan Wenqin felt the benefits of reading and having insight.

He slowly paid attention to the old pedant, and then he learned that the old man's name was Dai Mo, and he was also a person of some fame and status in Bianliang. Wanyan Wenqin asked Dai Mo to tell him a story, and in addition to telling books, he occasionally talked about various knowledge, and his knowledge and views on the world and his surroundings, Wanyan Wenqin's various concepts have only "grown" since then.

Wanyan Wenqin, who grew up in the northland environment, felt hopeless since he was a child, in the past, he was just short-tempered and scolded people at will, Dai Mo combed him one by one, and told the story of many weak people who can also make contributions, Wanyan Wenqin's heart was surging, and he found a way, and he gradually understood that the Jurchens built the country by force, but after the country was stable, knowledgeable literati were what the country needed most, and the fist could no longer solve the problem, and what could solve the problem was only his own mind.

saw hope in this way, and last year, an old man named Dai Mo fell seriously ill, and Wanyan Wenqin was afraid that he would have no books to listen to, so he asked his family to cure him no matter what, and even sold a treasure at home for this purpose. After the old man recovered from his illness, he confided the truth to Wanyan Wenqin, he is the successor of the way of the Spring and Autumn Ghost Valley, the way of vertical and horizontal, the chest of the question, the most pay attention to the game between people, but unfortunately the power of learning is also poor, his comprehension has not reached the deepest, the Wu Dynasty has accumulated deep evils, he wanted to serve the country, but he was unable to return to the sky, after being taken captive to the Jin country, he wanted to take the chest to the underground, but he never expected to meet such a generous little master......

In Dai Mo's mouth, the Guigu Vertical and Horizontal Way studies the knowledge of this world, and his thinking is flexible and adaptable, and it is by no means something that can be learned by reading a book - Wanyan Wenqin thought about it, then he should be born to be the successor of this way.

Jin has been stable for ten years, for the Wu Dynasty's literary affairs, has always been yearning for it, Wanyan Wenqin has been aggrieved for nearly 20 years, and finally waited for such an adventure - in the various stories he has heard, the protagonist is a virtuous person, and he has never encountered such an adventure, not to mention looking at the oppression of Han Nu by other Jurchens, and his attitude towards Dai Mo, he thinks about it again and again. In the following year, he listened to Dai Mo talk about all kinds of sinister things in the world, treacherous people's hearts, and the way to break the game, which opened up a new world in his chest, and Dai Mo would occasionally tell him various inspirational stories to inspire him to move forward.

At the end of last year, Corporal Wanyan Wenqin Lixian took the initiative to worship Dai Mo as a teacher, and since then he has been treated as a master and a father, and Dai Mo is grateful. He originally had only one daughter, and he had died in the war, but he never imagined that when he was old, with such a son and heir, he could support his old age.

In Dai Mo's explanation, Wanyan Wenqin gradually realized the various problems in the Jurchen country and his own problems. If you want to point to the identity of your grandfather and father-in-law for a lifetime, that is something that no one can do, and it is never realistic, the man's fame is only taken from his own items, and he can't go to the battlefield, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the clouds, then he has his own belongings and strength.

At this time, after the founding of the country, Wanyan Wenqin couldn't reach out to others with this kind of cold threshold, but since the arrival of the Qi family, he saw hope, for more than half a year, Dai Mo analyzed the situation for Wanyan Wenqin every day, studied feasible plans, and privately investigated the intelligence of various underworlds around Yunzhong Mansion.

The news that the prisoners of the Black Flag Army were going to be sent was confirmed, and the entire plan to deal with the Qi family finally had a focus. Xiao Shuqing and others outside Yunzhong Mansion thought that they were the leaders and pulled themselves into the game, but they didn't know that it was their own side that started behind the scenes.

Half a month before the whole plan has been set, the old man who spent half a year scheming and exhausting finally came to the end of his life, and when he was dying, Dai Mo and Wanyan Wenqin said that he could not see the rise of the other party in the country, and only hoped that he could walk out of a glorious road in the future and carry forward this ghost valley and the way of vertical and horizontal.

Seeing that the old man was dead, Wan Yan Wenqin no longer had the slightest worry or hesitation in his heart, and he was no longer afraid of the way to put himself in the bureau to dispel everyone's doubts. The man's fame is taken from his own item, and he wants to use heaven and earth as a chess, if he doesn't even dare to take his life, what will happen in the future!

In this way, on this day, everything finally went smoothly. Wanyan Wenqin left Keio Fang in a sedan chair, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.

At the same time, Tang Minjie had already driven the vegetable cart out of the city, and his business these days had daily contacts with the guards at the city gate, and the search was not strict. After leaving the city limits, the carriage turned towards a barren hill outside the city, and when it stopped, a thin, gray-faced woman climbed out of the car.

Tang Minjie led him up the mountain, through the woods, and saw a grave on the edge of the forest, one of the tombstones was written "Dai Shuyuan's Tomb", and the woman instantly knelt in front of the grave with tears on her face.

Tang Minjie looked around.

"When Dai Gong was alive, he remembered you very much, and I wanted to take him to see you, but he said that he was a tiger and wolf, and he was afraid that he would be weak, and when the matter was completed, he would have the opportunity to meet. But I didn't expect that a month ago, he suddenly fell ill, probably because he had a sign in his heart, and he repeatedly mentioned you to me, saying that he regretted not being able to see you again, and he couldn't live with you...... Dai Gong once said before his death that as a man, let his wife and children suffer this great disaster, as an official, the people of the country suffered, and tens of millions of men in the Wu Dynasty were difficult to atone...... I'm even more sorry for you. Of course, he also knows that you have lived a relatively stable life in the past few years, so that he can settle down, and if she knows that you are still suffering, he will definitely put you first. ”

The woman on the ground kowtowed, and then kept shaking her head, crying silently. Tang Minjie was silent for a moment.

"Dai Gong has done something amazing, everything that the Jurchens inflicted on you at the beginning, we will slowly get it back...... But you can't stay here any longer, I have arranged for the carriage and horses, you go south first, and then later, all checkpoints will be under martial law......"

A figure came over on the other side of the mountain road and gestured, and Tang Minjie patted the woman's shoulder:

"Miss Dai, it's time to go......"

After a while, the woman got up from the ground, wiped her tears, then turned around, reached out and pressed on Tang Minjie's chest, and made a hoarse and weak voice: "Promise me, don't let them go...... Don't let my dad die in vain......"

Tang Minjie looked at her and tilted his head.

At this moment, his gaze was gentle, revealing a clear smile without the slightest impurity.

"Take care all the way."

****************

The fifth day of the seventh month of the thirteenth year of Jintianhui is an ordinary and unusual day, in Yunzhong Mansion, if there is a seemingly non-existent atmosphere of slaughter, many people are not aware of it, but some people feel such clues in advance.

Wanyan Xiyin's Yuwang Mansion, the second son Wanyan Youyi was dressing up and makeup, Chen Wenjun came in from outside and looked at him for a while: "What's wrong?" Dressed up so beautifully, which girl are you going to meet? ”

"Mother." Wanyan Youyi saluted her, but hesitated slightly, "Don't dare to deceive my mother, my son wants to go to Qi Mansion for a banquet." ”

Chen Wenjun frowned, although she is a Han person, she has never liked the Qi family who rebelled against the martial arts, and the great Confucian Qi Yan posted several times to visit her, a junior woman, Chen Wenjun did not agree, of course, in many scenes, she naturally did not say that she did not like the Qi family.

"The Qi family has a banquet today? What's it that makes you can't help it? ”

Wanyan Youyi laughed: "The Qi family has made a lot of money today, and asked someone to go over to appreciate the "Golden Bridge Map", it is said that it is genuine, and my son just wants to go over and have a look." ”

"Painting holy works, no wonder you are so itchy." Chen Wenjun smiled, "Golden Bridge Map" is the work of the Tang Dynasty painting saint Wu Daozi, among the two sons of Xi Yin, Wan Yan De is excellent in calligraphy, and Wan Yan Youyi loves to study paintings, no wonder he can't help it. She frowned and thought for a moment, then lowered her gaze.

"Don't go to Qi's house today, it's a little strange, you have to bear with it."

"Mother......

"Alright." Chen Wenjun laughed, "In this way, I promise you, if you don't go to Qi's house these days, you will personally go to Qi's house to get the "Golden Bridge Map" for you on another day, let you take it home, and enjoy it in private for a few days, okay?" ”

"Yes...... Why? Something is going to happen to the Qi family? ”

"Who knows? The Qi family has an old relationship with the Black Flag, this time the thing has been done, and the captives of the Black Flag have been captured in the clouds, saying that they are going to be Ling Chi and tortured and killed, look, someone is going crazy, and the Qi family will be unlucky sooner or later...... Your father taught him before, a gentleman can only carry things with virtue and virtue, no matter how you say it, he is from the Wu Dynasty, he has been in the Wu Dynasty for a hundred years, he has taken advantage of it, and he is not guilty, he does not miss the old country at all, and the hearts of the people in the world are not tolerated......"

Chen Wenjun chattered, and when he arrived, his face gradually sank, and his face became solemn, and he was carefully taught.

The sun reached a high place, gradually set again, and in the evening, Wanyan Wenqin left home, and greeted a few sons and brothers who had greeted them before in the direction of Qi Mansion, on the street outside Qi Mansion, pedestrians who stepped on the point had also arrived, and in the inconspicuous back door position, Tang Minjie drove a carriage and dragged half a cart of vegetables and fruits into Qi Mansion at the end. In a place called Xinzhuang outside the city, the prisoners of the Black Flag Army have been escorted to the place, and many forces outside the city have put their eyes on it.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, this is the eighth day after the start of the Jiangnan War, the siege of Yangzhou has entered a white-hot state, and the confrontation in Xiangyang has also had the first wave of victory and defeat, nearly two million troops have or are about to enter the war, and the whole world has been dragged into a huge vortex. In the evening, the tragedy in the clouds that shocked the world broke out in Yuyan.
