The rain was falling, and when the carriage left the nearby street, it opened the curtain and looked back at the Su family's mansion in the rainy night, and all he could see was probably only the two lanterns still lit under the eaves of the side door, and the rest of the place was mostly the outline of the dark courtyard wall, and occasionally a faint light rose in that outline, Xi Junyu sighed.

"You wouldn't have listened to it, but ......," he muttered, a smile on his face, "then don't take it for granted...... "......"

There was something about the imperial businessman, and after Ning Yi appeared, he still opened his mouth and mentioned a few words. Of course, since I don't know if Lu Dao Ning Yi knows the whole thing, what Lu Dao said at the end also has a bit of a side-knocking feeling, no matter what, the meaning should have been transmitted. What he can and should do in front of Su Tan'er is so much.

The carriage left from this side, and in the courtyard over there, Ning Yi had already gone to the small courtyard not far away with Su Tan'er and Juan'er to wait for a meal. Ning Yi had already been aware of the matter of Gong Yin, but he didn't know the joints very well, and he didn't hear the first half of the conversation between the two at this time, but he just heard Su Tan'er talk about the national situation, and then he made a joke. At this time, Su Tan'er smiled and said angrily: "Most of what the concubine said just now was obviously discussed casually by the princess last time, but at this time, she said that the concubine is not patriotic...... Xianggong is not a good person either. ”

"The context is different, you can't generalize." Ning Yi laughed and broke around in the heavy rain, and Juan'er followed all the way behind.

I went out for a few days, and after I came back, I didn't feel much different from before, although the feeling between me and Xiaochan seemed to be a little different, but in the evening, everyone was still eating and talking together, and chatting about going to Nanting Village in the past few days. After Geng Huwei and Dongzhu left, "Ning Yi, Su Tan'er and the others also went back to their courtyard with umbrellas. Chan'er Juan'er was busy boiling hot water for rinsing, Xing'er was cleaning inside and out, and Su Tan'er returned to the room and continued to deal with the accounts that Xi Junyu was still dealing with before she came over.

The torrential rain almost merged into a surging stream of water in the courtyard, Ning Yi looked under the house for a while, and when he looked up, the window of Su Tan'er's room was open, and the woman's figure was writing and calculating at the table in front of the window, which was indeed the same scene as usual, and when he was about to go back to the room, he saw Juan'er standing behind with a small basin of hot water.

On weekdays, Juan'er actually feels quieter, but the relationship with Ning Yi is not bad, so she smiled at this time: "Uncle, go to bed early tonight." ”

Ning Yi thought for a while: "Huh? ”

"The few days that my uncle didn't come back" Miss always slept late. In fact, it's just clearing the accounts, but Sister Xing'er and I can't persuade them. ”

After she finished speaking, she bowed her head slightly, and walked away with the basin of water.

"Tsk" Ning Yi turned his head to look at the figure in the window and shrugged his eyebrows, "Then I can't persuade you." ”

At night, I read a book in my room for a while, and I calculated that it was about midnight, and the light on the opposite side was still on. Ning Yi thought about it, put down the scroll, blew out the lights, and went to bed. In the room over there," Su Tan'er looked up, "still flipping through the account book in her hand," frowning slightly.

She held her chin and looked again, her eyes couldn't help but look into the dark room, and after a moment, she turned another page, and then reached out and closed the whole book.

It's almost time to "turn off the lights and go to bed." She thought so.

In the maid's room on the side, Juan'er, who was wearing a single dress, leaned out of the window, looked at Ning Yi's window opposite, and then turned her head to look at Su Tan'er's window, leaning on the windowsill and sighing: "Uncle is amazing......

After the last burst of the sound of the soo, the courtyard was also quiet, only the sound of the torrential rain continued......

It is also on this night, thousands of miles away in Tokyo, the capital of the Wu Dynasty, there is not a trace of dark clouds, the night is bright, as if the first quarter moon with hope is emitting a cold jade-like light, starlight, gathered into a vast galaxy like jade and belt. The city is still lively at night, and the lights in the bazaar, green buildings, and large and small houses are still bright. The most lively royal street in the city leads to the main gate of the imperial palace, Xuande Gate, from here, the wide streets, the lights of the city, the towering imperial city is also shrouded in lights.

Although the gate of the imperial city has been closed, but the appearance of the other side is like this every night, few people know about it, there is an extremely secret and important event, which is quietly happening in the imperial city at night.

Under the Zhongshu Gate, some of the hot ministers in the court are gathering here at this time, Li Gang, Tong Guan, Wu Min, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong, Zhang Bangchang, Qin Hui, Gao Yu, Zhou Yi ......, of course, now these people's official positions are also big and small, and there are also their own small groups, at this time it is a secret and important matter of the rest time, the three of them gathered together, while drinking tea and resting, while discussing some things, although the voice is small, in fact, the excitement in the heart can not be suppressed. ,

"The Liao people handed over the letter of state not long ago, asking to discuss the matter of the New Year's currency again, and even willing to give up the New Year's coin, and the Yang Wu Dynasty sent troops to cut gold together. In this matter, they must have gone the way on your side, right? ”

"It is true that there is such a thing, that Liao envoy Yang I helped to say some good things when I was in the court, and sent many gifts, one of which was an incense burner, and the rest "... Oh, that's just a few........."

"The Liao people are in a hurry, it's not easy to wait until they are in a hurry......"

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, I still think that this time it is not appropriate to send troops, the Jurchens now have the upper hand, once the Liao is destroyed, how do you know that the next one is not my Wu Dynasty?"

"This matter is too alarmist, there are too few Jurchens, once the Liao is destroyed, the whole country, the available soldiers are afraid that there are only 100,000, and the situation has to be maintained, how can we attack thousands of miles and attack our Wu Dynasty again?"

"The seed master is now also this view, and it is said that it is not appropriate to cut down Liao, this time it should be cut down by Liao, just because the Liao State and my Wu Dynasty have been brothers for a hundred years, and now this Jin Country is the state of tigers and wolves, and there is also Deng Xunwu ...... "......"

"Nonsense, long-distance and close attack, since ancient times, how can there be a reason for long-distance attack and close attack? The recovery of Yanyun this time is just around the corner, hundreds. If it can be done, we will "......" and go down in history......

"The planter said that is really confused......

"The Liao State has exhausted its qi, and we should act in accordance with the mandate of heaven..."

"It's a pity that Tong Dacai left Beijing not long ago,"

"A Eunuch ......"

"Shut up! Be quiet! ”

Buzzing and buzzing, each talking. But in any case, "the proposal of Lianjin Valiao, which was promoted by Tong Guan on the surface, has passed the initial stage at this time and has entered the link of detailed discussion.

The real foreshadowing may have been set in the Blackwater Alliance seven years ago, especially four years ago, "Emperor Tiandi of Liao led an army of 700,000 to attack Jin, but was almost wiped out by 20,000 soldiers by Wanyan Agu, and the call for Lianjin to resist Liao has been rising in China. Although there are also some people who believe that the Wu Dynasty should not participate in this war, or that Lian Liao should resist Jin, such as the famous general in the northwest.

Or Deng Xunwu, the ruling of the Privy Council, also made a comment on this, to the effect of: "What, both the weak and the weak" I think it should be to help the weak and suppress the strong. Now the country's military strength is weak, financial resources are scarce, and the people's strength is withering, this situation is known to everyone", but no one dares to speak. I don't understand: Is it better to be neighbors with strong gold than to be neighbors with weak Liao? The king of Goryeo secretly said: "Liao is a brotherly country, and it can be safed to survive; Gold is the country of tigers and wolves, and it cannot be handed over! ”

Today, of course, "there is only a niche that maintains this idea." It has been more than two hundred years since Shi Jingjiao lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, and being able to recover Yanyun is a temptation that no emperor can resist.

Although the Liao people, who are now aware of the crisis, have also begun to ask the Wu Dynasty for help, and are even willing to ask the Wu Dynasty to join forces with them to fight against the Jin on the condition of canceling the New Year's coin. But since a few years ago, the Wu Dynasty has been sending people from the sea to contact the Jin people, back and forth several times, this time the Jin people sent a few envoys, "finally have a relatively accurate answer", and then this is here to negotiate the terms of negotiation, and then send people over, probably has entered the formal negotiation link.

The envoys of the Jin State who came over this time only expressed their intention to nod, and did not have the right to negotiate and make decisions one by one, and after the discussion here, they still had to send someone to the Jin State to "personally interview Wan Yan." At this time, everyone was still discussing in the imperial city, located in a restaurant near the imperial sister, two members of the Jin State envoys were drinking at this time, one of them was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his early forties, and the other was only in his twenties, and they all had the fierce aura of the Jurchens, but the middle-aged man's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at the lively streets outside. The two of them seemed to be just entourages in the envoys, with no status, and they did not follow into the palace at this time, but the meaning of the conversation at this time was quite unusual.

"Since Lord Ceres is here this time, why don't you just show up and sign the agreement as soon as possible. In this way, if the Wu Dynasty moves north, those Khitan dogs will inevitably be clumsy, and our side will also reduce some burdens. ”

If someone who is really familiar with the situation of the Jin Kingdom comes to hear this title, he will probably be frightened by the word "Ceres". The son of Huandu, Gushen, also known as Wanyan Xiyin, is the most important strategist around Wanyan Aguta, this person has participated in many major events since Aguda started to fight against Liao, not only has a strong military strategy, but also is a famous Jurchen scribe. A few years ago, Ah Gu called the emperor, thinking that the Jurchen did not have their own script, let him make a set of Jurchen script, he imitated the Han Kaishu in the last year to create this set of script, and now has begun to implement the Jin Kingdom, at this time he looked at the lights outside, but shook his head. ,

"Although we considered the help of the Wu Dynasty at the beginning of the army, this Gu was the first to be proposed by the Wu Dynasty, and since the Wu Dynasty had a request from us, we naturally couldn't show too urgency. I came to the Central Plains just to see the prosperity of the Wu Dynasty and the wind of Tokyo...... At this time, it was worth the trip. Look at this scene in Tokyo, compared with the five capitals of Liaoguo, it is still very inferior. ”

"I don't think it's too extravagant, and it's soft and not a little fierce. Lord Ceres, in fact, some people in the team who followed this time said that this Wu Dynasty, except for extravagance, the rest is really not very desirable, they have been oppressed by the Liao people for a hundred years, and they have no achievements, so we can form an alliance with them, I am afraid that there is no great benefit, although it can also attract some attention, but it is really dispensable, without them, my Jurchen soldiers can also take the Liao State, and at this time they will just get a piece of the pie......"

"Don't be arrogant." That Wanyan Xiyin frowned, "The Wu Dynasty lives in the Central Plains, the land is vast and rich, before my Jurchen appeared, the Han people lived here for thousands of years, although they seem to have been oppressed by the Liao people over the years, but if they are really weak to that extent, wouldn't the Liao people have annexed them earlier?" Where can they grow to this extent? ”

He shook his head, in fact, there are some uncertain elements in the daylight: "In the past few years, I have made characters and specialized in Han culture, and the more I study, the more I admire the unfathomable depth of its heritage." When it comes to the Wu Dynasty, he is also in awe, and the country of the Central Plains should not be underestimated. As soon as we join forces to conquer the Liao Kingdom and border each other, we may become enemies, how can we despise your enemies? ”

After saying this, he turned his gaze back to the bustling night scene outside. The young man named Murino lowered his head and pondered, if others were afraid that what he said, he would not be able to change his cognition, but the Lord Ceres in front of him was different, he not only had extraordinary martial arts, but also had excellent military strategy and wisdom, and what he said must be reasonable.

Thinking like this, Mirino also looked outside, and began to think about how powerful these Han people were.

Maybe it's a big ............ It can be seen on the battlefield.

He thought so.

This night belonging to Kaifeng, many years later, may be remembered and have a place in the history books. Of course, this is just a small episode of many things that will happen over the next many years, when people are doing what they think is right.

Fang La and some rebel troops in the southeast of the Wu Dynasty began to spread widely, the famous general Tong Guan in advocating the Lianjin invasion of Liao at the same time considered first with the thunder to pacify these mud legs and then wave the army north, the emperor waited to recover Yanyun, return my rivers and mountains, and then slowly work hard, at this time in Bianliang Wanyan Xiyin, in the front line of the anti-Liao Wanyan Aguta, are considering the help that the Northern Expedition of the Wu Dynasty will produce and the future situation, the Jurchen population and army are too small, if after taking the Liao State, How can they maintain the balance with the Wu Dynasty so that they will not be swallowed by the Wu Dynasty in the future......

Of course, Ning Yi didn't know anything about these things.

He was sleeping, and when he got up in the morning, he saw that the rain had stopped, and he ran as usual. During the run, practice internal strength according to the breathing method taught by Lu Hong, and go all the way to Nie Yunzhu's small building, drink a cup of tea, and talk. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, after a little greeting, the two sat quietly for a while, Nie Yunzhu was thinking about how to tell him that he had met with Qin Lao, who might become his father-in-law, and when Ning Yi picked up the teapot to pour water for himself, a hand holding a teacup was also handed over from behind.

"Now, give me a drink, too."

The woman's hand was white and small, Ning Yi was slightly stunned, poured it into the cup, and then looked back, a woman wearing a dress that seemed to belong to Nie Yunzhu sat on the steps of the two levels behind, raised the teacup and blew it a few times, and drank it slowly.

The two should already know each other, Nie Yunzhu turned around and spoke in surprise, but for a while I didn't know if there was a need to introduce Lu Dao, after a while, Yuan Jin'er put down the teacup, smacked her lips, and found that Ning Yi was still looking at her, her mouth was furrowed, her eyes were wide, and her body leaned back: "Why have you been looking at me!" ”

"Oh." Ning Yi blinked, nodded, then turned his face to drink tea, no longer looked at her, and shrugged his shoulders again after a while, "Yesterday I saw a woman climb up from the river, it rained heavily, and her whole body was soaked, cough, very thorough" ......, it shouldn't be you." ”

The tone was indifferent. Yuan Jin'er's eyes widened instantly, and Nie Yunzhu slightly, "Huh?" With a sigh, she turned her head to look at her, she still remembered the scene when Yuan Jin'er entered the door, and then pulled her to take a bath She was already asleep, in order to prevent her from getting caught the cold, she still took off Jin'er's clothes and wiped her body for her.

Yuan Jin'er blinked at this time and looked at Nie Yunzhu: "Of course it's not me!" Then he pulled his skirt, got up and ran away, Nie Yunzhu was a little taller than her, and the skirt was slightly longer, and when he ran inside, he almost fell.

Nie Yunzhu smiled angrily, turned his head to look at Ning Yi again, Ning Yi still drank tea indifferently, and then glanced at her...... Glancing at her again......

"Why are you looking at me like that? She said it wasn't her! ”

……………… Lecher. ”

Nie Yunzhu picked up the teacup and turned his face to the side ......! ~！
