When the fireworks rise in the night sky, the sound of Jinse pipa and silk and bamboo also resounded in this night.

Alum Tower, the Shangyuan Festival that never sleeps. The flowing light and music accompanied by the accumulated snow on the side of the eaves and teeth courtyard rendered the liveliness of the night, and the singing of poetry embellished it, and the elegance of the text and ink and the beauty of the incense skirt were integrated.

Someone is singing the upper metawords from the early years.

"The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain...... BMW carved car fragrance full of ......"

It is Ning Liheng's "Qingyu Case".

The sound of singing came from the courtyard next door, and the master was kneeling at the table, holding the teapot, pouring hot tea.

"Childe came just in time today, before the Ming Dynasty of Master Song Xibian and Master Song, I only have this last point left......"

Opposite her was a handsome man in gorgeous clothes.

"Master Song's tea is rare, but having it brewed by the master himself is a truly priceless treasure...... Well. He took a sip of the teacup, frowned slightly, and looked at Master Li, "...... The pain that the master has felt in the city recently is in the tea. ”

"The tea is too bitter?" The master wrinkled his eyebrows and smiled, and took a sip of himself.

"The taste of tea is clear, and because of this, the complex mood inside is also clear." The man in fancy clothes smiled, "Since I first met the master five years ago, the taste of this tea is different every year, Elder Chanyun said that the master has a deep Buddha nature, according to Chen, it is also because the master can view the world with himself, and turn what he sees and hears on weekdays into himself, and then into music, tea ceremony and other things. This tea is not bitter, but it is contained inside, rich and complex, and has a heart of compassion for the world. ”

The master looked at him, his eyes wandering, shining with brilliance. Then he smiled: "Liar, right? ”

"From the bottom of my heart, there is no lie."

"The world often says that Brother Jianyun can taste people's hearts with a tea ceremony, but today I only know how to praise me, although the master is happy in his heart, but deep down, he can't help but discount Brother Jianyun's evaluation." She said. Laughing again, Joan's nose is slightly wrinkled, quite cute.

Chen Jianyun laughed on the other side: "The world is just talking nonsense, Chen is just a person with good tea, and it is a fact that the teacher will discount more." However, there is no falsehood in today's tea, and Chen dares to bet five dollars of silver. ”

The two have known each other for a long time. A few jokes, the scene is quite harmonious. This Chen Jianyun is a well-known family in the capital, several members of the imperial court, his second uncle Chen Fangzhong once served as the secretary of the military department, the governor of the political affairs, although he did not walk the official career, but is one of the most famous idle sons in the capital, and is outstanding for being good at tea ceremony, words, calligraphy and painting.

It is also because of this that he can be in festivals like Yuan Xi. Take a place in Master Li's room. After all, there are many powerful people in the capital, and there are festivals. There are countless banquets, and a few of the top Oirans are not idle. The age difference between Chen Jianyun and his teacher is not big, and powerful middle-aged and elderly officials will not compete with him because of their status, and other gentlemen often compete with him.

As the night deepened, I met Chen Jianyun. It was also the last time of the night. The two chatted for a while, and Chen Jianyun tasted tea and said: "It's a cliché, the master is not young, if you don't marry again, continue to make such tea." It won't be long before I am afraid that I will really have to find Master Zen Yun to seek a way to become a monk. ”

The master hesitated for a moment: "If it really comes naturally, then it is also the will of heaven." ”

"In life, although the love between men and women is not all, it also has its deep meaning. The master is here, so he doesn't have to deliberately ask for it, so why bother to hide? If you are in love, the next day next year, will the teacher's tea be wonderful? ”

"Brother Jianyun......"

"Master, listen to me." Chen Jianyun looked directly at her, and said in a calm tone, "In the capital, there are not many people who can marry you with enough status, and after marrying you, there are not many who can treat you well." Chen does not enter the officialdom and is less worldly, but in terms of family background, after marrying you, no one else will come to entangle. Although there is a concubine in Chen's family, it is just a woman from a small family, and after you pass the door, you will never be bullied. The most important thing is that you and I have the same heart, and after that, we can enjoy tea on the piano, and we can live in this life. ”

The teacher lowered his eyes. After a while, Chen Jianyun added: "The love for the teacher in my heart has already been said, and there is no need to say it again at this time. I know that the teacher is high in his heart and has his own ideas, but what Chen said is also from the bottom of his heart, and the most important thing is that Chen loves the teacher very much, whether you agree or consider, this situation remains the same. ”

"I know that Brother Jianyun is a gentleman of Chen Ken." Shi Shi said softly, "It's just that Brother Jian Yun Chen treats me pleadingly, and Shi Shi has never hidden it. Over the years, every time the teacher went out to travel and look at the things around him, his mind became more and more complicated, and it was difficult to be at peace. Two years ago, Brother Chen mentioned this matter, the teacher said that he was high, and now, this mood has become more and more difficult to get rid of, in the past two years, many things have made the teacher feel uneasy, every time he thinks about getting married, starting a family with a man, and then he will no longer look at these complicated ways in the narrow world, but there is no sense of relief that is out of sight. The Buddha said that all living beings are suffering, but ...... I know the Buddhist scriptures by heart, but I can't get rid of them. ”

"This is Buddha nature." Chen Jianyun sighed, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for her, "But in the final analysis, the things in this world, even if you see it, are not something you can change after all." I know that I can't change it, so I love calligraphy and painting, poetry, and tea ceremony, no matter how unbearable the world is, there is always a way to be alone. ”

"I know that Brother Jianyun is not a person who is alone." Shi Shi smiled, "This time the Jurchens came, and Brother Jianyun also led the guards at home to the city wall. I was happy to learn that Brother Jianyun was still safe. ”

"When things come to an end, there will always be times when you can't avoid them. I was lucky not to die, but it was the credit of the guards at home, and it had little to do with me. ”

"Actually, what Brother Jianyun said, the master has already thought about it." She smiled and was silent for a moment, "The identity of the teacher, in the early years, was the daughter of a criminal official, and after entering the alum building, the journey was smooth, and in the end it was just praised by others, sometimes I felt that I could do many things, but it was just borrowing the tiger skin of others, and when I was old and decrepit, even if I wanted to say something, it was difficult for anyone to listen, as a woman, it was not my ability to do something." But here's the problem. The teacher is a woman, ......"

She raised her head, opened her mouth, and finally sighed: "As a woman, it is difficult to have a man's chance, and it is precisely like this, the teacher always thinks." If I were a man, would I really be able to do something? In the past few years, running for unjust cases, running for disaster relief, and running for defending the city, in the eyes of others, maybe it's just a woman who is raised in a green building and is used to it, I don't know how thick the sky is, but I ...... After all, I want to be in the middle of it. Find some things that won't be wiped out just because you're married and locked up in that yard. Brother Jianyun has a chance, so he can see it, and the master has never had a chance, so he ...... was trapped. ”

She spoke softly, but with sincerity. Brother Gongzi in the capital. There are those who are gentle, and there are those who are hot-blooded. There are reckless and naïve, Chen Jianyun was born in a big family, and he was also a hot-blooded teenager who scolded Fang Xuan, he was the heart and soul of the elders of his father's generation, and he was too well protected when he was young. Later, he saw many things in his family, and gradually became discouraged and rebellious about the affairs of officialdom, and his family let him get in touch with those officialdom when they were dark. He had a few quarrels with his family, and then the elders of the family said that he should go, he didn't need to inherit the family belongings, and with his brothers in the family, he could live this life rich after all.

Since then, Chen Jianyun has sent poems and tea ceremonies, and even when he got married, he never chose to marry. After getting acquainted with Shishi, Shishi gradually knew this, as she said, Chen Jianyun has a chance, but she is a woman after all.

"I also know that this mind is a bit out of my right." Shi Shi smiled and added.

"It seems that the master is looking for a person who is doing great things himself, so he is willing to go to the lead and wash his hands and make soup with him." Chen Jianyun held the teacup and smiled reluctantly.

Shi Shi shook his head: "I don't know either. ”

"It's just that I've seen a lot of people like this." Chen Jianyun said, "Those who have entered the official career, in order to go to a high position, unscrupulous means, those who are in high positions, or they are old, or they have already become one of them." The world is muddy, and whoever wants to mix it will be stained with mud. Or maybe after this incident, the division wants to find a general who leads the troops and entrust him with this body......"

He smiled slightly bitterly: "However, the army is not necessarily good, there are many places, but it is more chaotic, the upper and lower factions, empty salaries, and bribes, they are more blatant than Wenchen, if it is not so, how can this war be like this...... The reckless man in the army, who treats his wife at home like an animal, beats and scolds him at every turn, which is not a good match. ”

On the night of the New Year's Eve, it was another time to confess, and it turned out to be like this, which inevitably made people feel a little complicated. The room was silent, and after a while, they all laughed softly again, Chen Jianyun looked at the teacher opposite, and said with a smile: "If you really want to follow the teacher's idea, among the several senior members of the court, Li Xiang or Qin Xiang may be a good match." ”

He was smiling, but after saying this, he was a little hilarious, and the teacher also laughed for a while: "Li Xiangqin is for the country and the people, if there is a lack of laundry and cooking around him, the teacher is desperate." ”

"It's a pity that there is no shortage."

"Yes......" Shishi sighed, looking very regretful.

"All of you in the court, my father once said that the one I admire the most is Qin Xiang." After a while, Chen Jianyun changed the topic, "Although Li Xiang is upright, if he does not have the assistance of Qin Xiang, it is difficult to do great things. This time, guarding Bianliang was also thanks to Qin Xiang's coordination. It's a pity that nearly half of the work was done, and it was difficult to complete it in the end. ”

Hearing him talk about this, the master frowned slightly: "Huh? ”

"It's not that the master doesn't understand, in the recent half moon, there have been many things in the court, Qin Xiang has contributed the most, and the Xiangye has run privately, visited everyone in the court, and also met with my second uncle. The teacher is in the alum building, and he must have heard about it. ”

"I did hear about the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." The teacher's eyes wandered, and he thought for a moment, "It is also said that the right minister wants to take advantage of this great achievement to ascend to the sky in one step." ”

"Whoever speaks this will be a wicked man. Of course, Qin Xiang was both public and private, mainly for Taiyuan. Chen Jianyun said, "Earlier, the right minister wanted to resign from the phase, and he had made great contributions, and this move was for the sake of Mingzhi, to retreat as advance, hoping that the ministers of the DPRK and China could do their best to protect Taiyuan." His majesty trusted him, but it attracted the suspicion of others. Cai Taishi and the king of Guangyang County made a stumbling block, wanting to seek balance, and were unwilling to make every effort to promote the move of Bao Taiyuan, and in the end, His Majesty only ordered Chen Yanshu to make meritorious contributions. ”

"That'...... Brother Jianyun thinks that Taiyuan can be saved? ”

Chen Jianyun smiled: "Those who have been to the city wall a few days ago know the evil of the Jurchens, and Qin Shaohe has done his best to support him for so long under Sticky Han's men. After the two armies of Zongwang and Han met, if they really want to fight Taiyuan, what is the use of one Chen Yanshu? Of course. Some ministers of the DPRK and China think and think, and they also have their reasons, Chen Yanshu is useless, if the whole army is exhausted this time, whether it can block the Jurchen's all-out attack, when the time comes. Not only could Taiyuan not be saved, but the whole army was wiped out, and there was no possibility of a reversal in the coming day. In addition, the whole army is attacking, and who will lead the army is also a big question. ”

He paused: "If the army is commanded by the king of Guangyang County and others, they will already be defeated in front of the Jurchens, and they cannot be trusted. If it is handed over to the two phases, the power of the Qin phase. It will be above Master Cai and Prince Tong. If it is led by the old minister of the breed family, frankly speaking, the Western army is unruly, and the old minister is not treated preferentially in Beijing, whether he has a grudge in his heart, who dares to guarantee it...... It is also for this reason that the DPRK and China cannot work together for such a big matter. The right prime minister though did his best in this matter. But it can't be pushed. My second uncle supported the dispatch of troops to Taiyuan, but he always lamented the complexity of things at home. ”

The teacher said, "That...... I can only watch......"

Chen Jianyun sneered: "The siege of Bianliang has been lifted, Taiyuan is far away in the sky, who can empathize with the soldiers coming to the city?" I had to hope for the kindness of the Jurchens, after all, the peace talks were over, and the New Year's coins had not been given. Maybe the Jurchens are also waiting to go home to recuperate, and it is also possible to let Taiyuan go......"

He no longer mentions the matter of courting relatives, and when he talks about trivial matters in Beijing and the court, it is also because he knows that his master is worried about practical matters. Love to hear these. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries who come and go in the alum building, each of them has their own ideas and statements, complicated and varied, so they chatted for a while, and gradually late at night, the teacher sent the other party out, and when parting, Chen Jianyun turned around and reached out to shake the teacher's hand, and the teacher took his hand back and smiled a little apologetically.

Chen Jianyun also smiled: "I will come to see you in a few days, I hope that by then, everything has been decided, Taiyuan is safe, and you can breathe a sigh of relief." By then, spring has already begun, and the Chen family has a poetry meeting, so I invite you to come over. ”

The master nodded: "Be careful, the road is safe." ”

"Hmm. You ...... too. Think it out earlier. ”

After he said this, he finally got into the carriage and left, when the carriage drove to the corner of the road, Chen Jianyun lifted the curtain and saw that the master was still standing at the door, waving his hand gently, so he put down the curtain of the carriage, and went home with some regret and some reluctance.

The master turned around and went back to the alum tower.

At the end of the day, she saw a lot of people, not only Chen Jianyun, in addition to some officials, gentry, literati and writers, there were also childhood friends such as Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng. For everyone, she has her own different expressions, to say that it is hypocritical, in fact, it is not, but the true feelings, of course, are not much missing.

When each of them leaves, most of them feel that they have something special, and the teacher girl must be a special treat for herself, this is not an illusion, get along with each other once or twice, and the teacher can naturally find topics that the other party is interested in, and they are also interested in, rather than simply catering to deal with it. But standing in her position, seeing so many people in one day, if she really said that one day she would be attached to a certain person, taking him as the world, and the whole world revolving around him, she was not undreaming, but ...... Even I find it hard to trust myself.

I've seen and listened a lot, I've lost my duty, and my feelings have become false......

If you get married one day, you hope that you can love that person wholeheartedly in your heart, and if you don't have confidence in this point, then you ...... Wait.

She returned to the yard, let the maid make a stove, simply boiled a few rice balls, and then took the food box and put it up, wrapped it in cloth, and then asked the maid to inform the coachman that she was going out.

The carriage came out of the backyard of the alum building with lanterns on, drove through the streets of Bianliang late at night, and arrived in front of a bamboo building before she came down and asked the gatekeeper outside the building if Ning Yi had returned.

After a while, it was Su Wenfang who came out of the building, and when he saw her, the other party smiled meaningfully: "Miss Li, come to see my brother-in-law again." ”

Shi Shi smiled calmly: "The day is special, see him, what, is he there?" ”

"It was not long after I came back from outside the city, and the teacher and the girl came at the right time. However, when I visited the door late at night, the teacher girl didn't plan to go back, right? What, you're going to be my sister-in-law? ”

"I have these old acquaintances in the capital, and the Shangyuan Festival, it is the time of reunion, so I cooked a few rice balls and brought them over. Su Gongzi, don't talk nonsense, ruin your brother-in-law's reputation. ”

"Hmm, Qingyu...... I was assassinated some time ago, and I'm afraid that there is no such thing as Qingyu. Su Wenfang muttered, turned around with a smile, and led her in.

At present, everyone in the Su family has not returned to Beijing. Considering the safety and the management of various things in the capital, Ning Yi still lived in this Zhuji property, it was late at night, the carnival was almost over, and although most of the lights in the courtyard houses were on, they seemed quiet at first glance. Ning Yi lived in a room on the second floor. When the master entered, he saw a table full of various files and letters, and Ning Yi put down the brush in his hand behind the table.

It has been more than half a month since the two last met.

During the time when he had just returned from outside the city, Ning Yi was busy with the propaganda of the war, and also visited the alum tower a few times, although his mother Li Yun did not fully agree to follow the steps of Zhuji for this communication. But there are also a lot of things that have been discussed, such as who and what things will help to publicize, and those who will not participate. Ning Yi was not forced, after the negotiation, he still had a lot of things to do, and then he hid in various itineraries.

After a lot of publicity, it was Qin Siyuan who retreated and advanced to promote the dispatch of troops to Taiyuan. To put it more complicated. This contains a lot of political games, if you put it simply. It's nothing more than you visiting me and I visiting you, negotiating interests in private, and then letting all kinds of people go to the Jinluan Palace to give opinions and exert pressure, all the way to the indignation of the scholar Li Li. The complicated situation behind this is also clearly felt by the master in the alum building. Ning Yi is among them, although he does not take the official line, he still has a lot of interests with lower-class businessmen and various landlords and gentry, and he is also very busy running and promoting.

"Why did you come here at this time?"

"No more. It was the sixteenth day of the first month. I talked about you with Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng during the day, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I brought a few rice balls. The master smiled, "I know that most of you have already eaten, and you don't bring much, so it's okay to eat two bites at will." ”

"I'll go get the bowl." Ning Yi laughed, and he didn't shirk.

He went out and came back with two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and the master had already opened the food box on the table: "Wen Fang said that you just came back from outside the city?" ”

"All kinds of things, as busy as you, the army also has a holiday, I'm going to deliver something to eat...... Oh, you stingy. ”

There were only six glutinous rice balls in the food box, and Ning Yi joked, divided three into each person, and invited the other party to sit down. In fact, Ning Yi had naturally eaten it, but he still unceremoniously sent the rice balls to his mouth.

The teacher smiled on his face, looked at the mess at the other end of the room, and said after a while: "I've heard people talk about you recently. ”

"Me?"

"Your right prime minister's house."

"Oh. More good or bad? ”

"Half of each." Shi Shi paused, "Recently, I also talked about Taiyuan, I know that you are all contributing behind the scenes, how about it?" Are things turning around? ”

Ning Yi frowned slightly: "It's not bad enough to be that Cheng dù, theoretically, of course, there is still a turnaround......"

There was some perfunctory in his tone, the master looked at him, and when he continued, Ning Yi was stared at by her like this, and smiled: "How to say it, Jingli doesn't want to send troops, if you send troops in advance, make a fuss, and waste money and money." Taiyuan is not Bianliang after all, Zongwang has so hard to fight Bianliang, since he has given up and turned to attack Taiyuan, it is also a little thankless, and it is more chicken. Moreover, Taiyuan has been defended for so long, it may not be possible to hold on for some more time, if the Jurchens really want to attack, as long as Taiyuan holds out for a while, they will also have to retreat, when the Jurchens and Taiyuan are holding each other, as long as we send troops to attack behind them, we may also be able to get results...... Bala Bala Bala is not entirely unreasonable. ”

"And ...... The question of who leads the troops ...... "The division added.

"It's all about the same." Ning Yi smiled, he finished eating the rice balls, took a sip of sugar water, and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "You don't have to worry too much, the Jurchens are gone after all, and Bianliang can calm down for a while." The matter of Taiyuan, those big people, is also very anxious, it doesn't matter, of course, there may be a certain fluke mentality......"

The master sat there and glanced at him, his eyes slightly resentful: "Liheng, you saw that I was a woman and looked down on me, so you wanted to perfunctory me." After being silent for a while, looking at the lamp not far away, he said quietly, "Actually, when many people saw that the Jurchens had retreated, they thought that it was too peaceful and that the matter had passed, but as long as they had been to the city wall and were willing to think about it, they would know in their hearts that this war was not over." Although Bianliang is not broken, if Taiyuan is taken away, what can we say about celebration and peace of mind......"

Ning Yi looked at her on the other side, and gradually there was some approval in his eyes, and he got up with a smile: "Actually, it's not that you are a woman, but that you are a villain......

"Huh?" Shi Shi frowned. Rounded eyes.

"Little people! The little people are just going to have a stomachache when they worry about these things. I'm also a small person, these days, the people who started the bamboo mark go around giving gifts, pulling relationships, and letting people help talk. said that a scholar was moved, but ...... It doesn't work anymore. Let's be honest with you, this time to promote the dispatch of troops to Taiyuan, it is estimated that there is no play, the resistance is too heavy, Qin Xiang used the phase as a guarantee, and the other party did not accept it, which shows that the interests in the middle are involved, not the general complexity. ”

For current political situations. Everyone who went to the alum tower could say a few words, and the teacher was often skeptical, but after Ning Yi said this, her eyes really lowered: "Really...... Can't help it......"

"Don't worry about it." Ning Yi looked at her with a smile, "There are still a lot of variables, Chen Yanshu's army, Taiyuan." Jurchen, Western Army. The nearby rebels are now undecided, if they really attack Taiyuan, what if Taiyuan becomes a war quagmire like Bianliang and drags them to the ground? This possibility is not impossible, and the Wurui battalion was not allowed to dispatch. However, preparations for sending troops have been still being made, and we estimate that the possibility of the Jurchens evacuating from Taiyuan is not small. Instead of storming a fortified city and losing troops, it is better to take the New Year's coins first. Recuperate. I'm not worried anymore, what are you worried about. ”

"Hmm......" Shi Shi raised his head, looked at Ning Yi with a slight frown, and looked at his smile, his eyes relaxed a little, "I just found out that Liheng, you are also talking nonsense...... Are you really not worried? ”

"Of course there is a little, but there is still a way to deal with it, trust me."

The master thought for a while, and finally nodded.

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

After the time had passed, the master left the bamboo record.

The meeting with Master Li has always felt a little strange, and the other party's attitude is to treat him as a proud childhood friend. Although she also chatted about the current situation for a while, and asked about Ning Yi's assassination and safety issues, but more importantly, she still knew about the trivial things around him and asked for warmth, on days like the Lantern Festival, she specially brought a few Lantern Festivals over, also to maintain such a relationship. Like a peculiar friend and family.

When I think about it, in that situation, she tried to maintain the relationship between several "childhood friends" who were actually unfamiliar with her, and treated them as if they were forbidden places in her heart, which was also quite touching.

The complex world, even if it is surrounded by all kinds of complicated things, the light emitted by a person's pious feelings is actually not inferior to the tide of history around him.

During this time, Ning Yi had a lot of things, and naturally it was not only what he said to his teacher. After the Jurchen people evacuated, a large number of troops such as the Wurui battalion were stationed outside Bianliang City, and everyone was secretly attacking the Wurui battalion before, at this time all kinds of soft knives had begun to escalate, at the same time, the things that were going on in the court, as well as continuing to promote the dispatch of troops to Taiyuan, there were post-war meritorious deeds, layer upon layer of deliberation, to determine merit and reward, Wurui battalion must resist the pressure of external splitting, continue to be ready to fight in Taiyuan, at the same time, Hongti and others from Luliang Mountain must maintain the independence of the troops under their command, For this reason, other armies fought twice......

All kinds of complicated things are mixed together, and a lot of incitement, meetings and brainwashing are carried out internally, and externally, there are yin people and intrigues who come and go. Ning Yi is accustomed to these things, and there is an intelligence system under his command, which may not necessarily fall behind, he is a combination of vertical and horizontal, and his means of combating division are clever, but it does not mean that he likes this kind of thing, especially after the plan to send troops to Taiyuan was blocked, every time he saw the pig teammates jumping up and down, he was suppressing anger in his heart.

Today, he went out outside the city to reward the Wurui camp, presided over the celebration, and met and warmed up with Hongti, which made him feel a little relaxed, but then there was more urgency. After coming back, he was writing a letter at the desk again, and the arrival of the master made his mind a little clearer, probably because the master himself was not an insider, and her worry about the current situation made Ning Yi feel gratified.

Because of this, among his words, they are only words that make the other party feel relieved.

After sending off the teacher, Ning Yi returned to the Zhuji Building, walked up the stairs, thought about things for a while, and before he could return to the room, Juan'er came over from there and trotted.

"What's wrong?"

Juan'er didn't speak, handed him an envelope with chicken feathers glued to it, Ning Yi looked at it, and knew what it was in his heart.

He opened the letter, went downstairs, took a look, and after a while, came to a room. It was a council chamber, with figures and lights in it, but a few staff members were still working at their desks. In front of the council hall was a large map, Ning Yi walked in, raised the envelope in his hand slightly, everyone stopped what they were writing or classifying, watched Ning Yi stop in front of him, and then picked up a small flag, chose a place on the map, and stuck it.

There are already a few flags on the map, starting from Bianliang, winding all the way up, in fact, according to the speed of the flag, everyone has a more or less idea of where to insert the next one, but after seeing Ning Yi go down, there are still strange and complicated feelings in their hearts.

"Half of it." Ning Yi whispered.

The distance from Bianliang to Tai Yuan, Zongwang's army had traveled halfway.

Someone swallowed involuntarily.

Ning Yi looked up at the map, and after a long time, he finally sighed: "This is ...... Boiled frog ...... in warm water"

A close staff member could hear it clearly, and asked tentatively: "Boss, what do you mean to boil a frog in warm water?" ”

Ning Yi smiled, shook his head, and didn't answer, he looked at a few people: "Have you thought of any way?" ”

In front of the desks of several people, there are all kinds of things, and in front of the nearest staff member is the internal information of the Jurchens collected over the years, and on the rest of the tables, there are also the handles and secrets collected by the Secret Investigation Department about the ministers of the DPRK and China...... (To be continued......)

PS: Eight thousand words!
