The carriage returned to the Qin family's mansion, and the Qixi feast was also being held in the mansion. Run by Mrs. Qin and Yun Niang together, although the current Qin family has just recovered, and many relatives have not arrived, but in the capital, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion wants to invite a banquet, and there will be no shortage of people who are in a hurry. The protégé is old, close relatives and distant relatives, as early as a few days ago, he has already received an invitation to prepare to come over, even if he has not been invited, if he can have some relationship, he has hollowed out his mind and wants to come in to meet some big people.

A big courtyard will have a big operating system, and people in or outside it may not be able to get a full picture, coming and going, going in and out, what kind of words to write, what kind of gifts to give, what kind of posts to hand, what kind of words to say, what kind of road to take, what kind of people to talk to, piles and piles, all have their rules. At this time, the right prime minister's mansion is in a warm atmosphere, layer by layer, complex and methodical operation, the guests are drinking and laughing in the hall, maids, housekeepers, small servants, doormen, cooks...... Busy everywhere in the house, each going about its own thing. Of course, after the rules are formed, there are always some people who don't need to care about them.

Qin Siyuan got out of the carriage, entered from the main entrance, greeted everyone in the hall, and walked towards the backyard after a few words. Those rules were entangled, like countless intricate and invisible silk threads, and as he passed towards the back of the mansion, it was only when he entered the study that he stretched out his hand and waved away the people around him, who scattered slightly, of course, the rules were still there. The study was already lit up, and when the door was closed, and the surroundings were quiet, he opened a secret compartment from the bookshelf and took out two thin paper packets.

There were a few more secret compartments in this room for filing, but he remembered each one clearly. Putting the paper bag on the table, the old man opened it and looked at it under the oil lamp for a while, it was all a file of documents, and he didn't know what kind of things were recorded. After reading it roughly, the old man sharpened his ink, took out the paper, sat down, and began to write.

Outside the window, there was a faint movement of the banquet in the hall. The old man's hands were steady, and his thoughts were clear. The letter was written in two letters, with few pauses, and after they were finished, they were placed on the envelope. He was about to get up, but after thinking about it, he sat down and wrote one another, put the three letters in his sleeve, picked up the two packets of files, and went out of the room, and the steward and his servants rushed over again.

"Did you come with Yubai first?"

"Both sons are already waiting in the side hall."

“…… Don't let people get close. ”

"Yes, sir."

The group went to the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when they turned a corridor, they could also see the lights in the main hall, and the sound of lively laughter came. The side hall was relatively quiet, and when the old man walked in, two young men stood up, one of them was wearing a scribe's robe, and the other was wearing a general's uniform, which meant that this person was the commander of a place, and he was in charge of an army on weekdays, and he was the highest commander of the local army such as Wu Lie and Wu Dejun.

"Master Qin."

"Master Qin......"

"Sit, don't be polite." The two of them, one literate and one martial, stood up and saluted, Qin Siyuan waved his hand, "Qi Xian, Yu Bai, today's things have already been known, right?" ”

The young scribe named Fang Yubai nodded first: "Hangzhou has fallen, and the students have heard about the controversy in the court today, and these people are ...... blind."

Before he finished his words, the commander named Chen Qixian over there also frowned and spoke: "I heard that Wang Yu and Yang Keshi are the generals going north, and Tong Shumi is going south, they will regret it sooner or later......"

"Regrets come later, but the important thing is how to deal with it. I have recommended the two of you to join the army, and the official letter will come down tomorrow, and there are also Tang Sixian, Yu Rui, Shen Qipeng, and Ji Haifang, you know each other. Now Wang Yu is the commander, Yang Keshi is the supervising army, Sixian is the deputy general, and the next is your first, Yubai can assist you, and the role that you people can play should not be underestimated. It's bound to be a hassle though. ”

Qin Siyuan said, frowning: "As a teacher, you don't need to check it, you can imagine that at this time, Tong Guan has already recruited his henchmen into the mansion and started beating Wang Yu and Yang Keshi." With his xìngzi, it must be said that he has a lot of hopes for the Northern Expedition, which is an immortal achievement for the country and the people, and the most important thing for the country and the people, although he ...... For the time being, he can't go north, but everyone still has to work hard to fight for the country and recover Youyan, and on the day of success, he should drink with the kings and ask for merit for the soldiers......",

At the same moment, in General Tong's mansion, the generals gathered as expected, and Tong Guan frowned and was talking.

Although he is a well-known eunuch, Tong Guan is completely different from the image of ordinary eunuchs, his figure is burly and tall, his skin is dark, and he looks not only tǐng, but also copper-skinned and iron-skinned, giving people the feeling of extreme rigidity, and full of anger when he speaks. can climb to the position of the current commander of the world's soldiers and horses as a eunuch, and he has a domineering spirit in every move. At this time, I will give you a lecture for the sake of today's affairs in the DPRK and China.

“…… Fang La's troubles, the disaster of Hangzhou, is imminent. If you want to calm the external troubles, you can only get rid of the internal strife first, and the Holy Lord sent me south, which is the importance of this matter! But...... In today's Wu Dynasty, the peace of bandits is not the most important thing. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been lost for nearly two hundred years, and our Wu Dynasty has lost the Northern Land Barrier, and as courtiers and soldiers, we have a sense of urgency every day! Liannu Zhen Khitan, I have been camping for more than several years, and now this is the perfect time, it is the time for men to make meritorious contributions, achieve thousands of years of meritorious deeds, and go down in history. When you go north, you should do your best to assist Wang and Yang Ershuai to recover the north. I should put down the rebellion and go north as soon as possible, although I can't go with you at this time, but I have the heart to kill the enemy, and I am with you......"

"Wang Yu and Yang Keshi are not here, but if he said this, the two of them knew what to do, this Northern Expedition must have many delays and waste food and wages. Because they know that if they take advantage of Tong Shumi's merit this time, even if it is a momentary glory, they will inevitably be retaliated against by Tong Guan in the future, which is miserable and unspeakable. ”

Qin Mansion, Qin Siyuan said, taking out two files and three letters.

"But this time to the north, the saint also has high hopes, they are flying and dogs, no results, maybe Tong Guan will compensate the two later, but the Son of Heaven is angry, they must also follow at that time."

When the things were put on the table, Qin Siyuan's face turned cold: "Tong Guan will help them say something, if there is only a saint, it should be able to protect them for a while." But if the saint is below and below, plus me and Li Xiang, they can't take it, they have to think about it...... I have some evidence about their crimes here, they are arrogant and arrogant, their families bully men and women in the township, I don't care, these can't cure their crimes alone, even if they are cured, it is just a punishment for some petty fights, but if you add the Northern Expedition, ......"

"After you go north, this letter can be handed over to Sixian and others to see, and tell me what I think. Now although the south is moving, but most places are already in the autumn harvest, I will ensure all the supply of grain, grass, military supplies, everything the army wants, you can have it, grit your teeth to ensure that this battle is fought well, I will arrange people, go to the border to stir up trouble everywhere, you can also wait for the opportunity to make a move. The battle must be fought, and the opportunity must not be missed. ”

The old man paused: "After the fight, or if there is any problem between Wang Yu and Yang Keshi before, these two things, two letters, show them, and then tell them that I want to win the battle, I want to win the battle in front of the Jurchens, whatever the price is, it doesn't matter if I win a narrow victory or a miserable victory, I want the kind of victory that can determine the situation." If they win, I, Li Xiang, and even the current saints will try to ensure that they are okay and that they will be rich and prosperous in history. I, Qin Siyuan, don't tell lies, but if they don't fight, if they dare to defeat, you also tell those two people that Li Xiang and I will do whatever it takes to make it difficult for them to stay in the nine clans. So that...... Tell the next person to take their place......"

The words weren't loud, but they were categorical. The two students talked to the old man for a while, and then took the order. The old man sat in the side hall for a while, and someone came over with a lamp, but it was Mrs. Qin, who was dressed in a full costume, holding a small bowl in her hand. The two have been married for decades, and seeing Qin Siyuan's expression, the old man also understood the seriousness of the matter, but she just put the small bowl down on the table.

"I just saw your expression in the front hall, I'm afraid I haven't eaten again. I just took the time to come out, and I asked about it, and I heard that it was first, and Yubai had left, so I came to take a look, all of which you like to eat. This quail egg is well made, so let's eat a few first. ”

The old man nodded and picked up the chopsticks: "It's a matter of worrying about Madame." ”

The side hall was quiet, the old man ate a few bites of food, remembered something, turned his head and said: "Hangzhou has fallen into ......"

The old man blinked: "Ah...... That Qian Xiwen, and the kid Liheng, are all here at this time......"

"Yes, I originally thought that the Hangzhou Wude Battalion was also an elite soldier, even though it was an earthquake before, but a group of chaotic people should always be able to hold it, who knows how to do it...... The reinforcements on both sides did not arrive, it fell first, alas, every time Fang La broke a place, the officials and gentry and wealthy households, almost killed, now the city of Hangzhou is broken, and the surrounding is full of chaotic troops. Just look ...... They can escape, safe and sound......", he sighed, and looked beyond the side hall, outside the courtyard wall, thousands of miles away The starry sky was also in the sky of Bianjing, and a firework rose in the field of vision and exploded.

The same Qixi Festival, thousands of miles away in Jiangning City is also a lively and festive atmosphere, on the Qinhuai River, buildings and boats are displayed, and floats are paraded in the streets and alleys. On a small building by the river bend in the middle of nowhere, a cool breeze blows through the lù platform, which is hung with a few lanterns, and there are all kinds of fruits and food. The two women were holding a small begging banquet, dressed in white and white skirts, Nie Yunzhu with long hair flowing, and Yuan Jin'er was wearing a goose yellow dress on the other side, and it was Yuan Jin'er who was laughing and dancing with her hands together like snakes.

Not far away, there are the bustling lights of the city, and there are occasional people and cars passing by on the riverbank road here, and the sky is filled with silver light, and the dance of Yuan Jin'er and the orange lights around it converge together, dissolving into an extremely pleasing scene. Nie Yunzhu just looked at it with a smile, plucking the guqin on his side casually, and chatting about it. It's just that her smile always seems a little reluctantly detached, and this woman's heart is no longer here.

Yuan Jin'er naturally understands this, and in the past few days, the news of the Hangzhou earthquake and the Fang La bandit disaster has also reached Jiangning to a greater or lesser extent, as long as you have the heart, you can always inquire about it. Sister Yunzhu has been caring about these things all day long, although she was silent on the surface at first, she was already panicking in her heart, and at this time, even the panic could not be suppressed, and it was completely hung on her face. If it weren't for the fact that she also knew that it was useless to worry about it, I am afraid that she would have packed up her baggage and left home and went straight to Hangzhou.

That's why Yuan Jin'er tries to laugh as much as possible every day, trying to make her sister happier, the effect is naturally limited, but at the moment, it is impossible to think about anything else. On the other hand, she also hated the scholar who had no news in Hangzhou, if there was no him, Sister Yunzhu didn't meet her, wouldn't everything be over, and everyone would be unhindered......

In this small banquet, the two are the protagonists, and Yuan Jin'er's maid Buckle is responsible for bringing all kinds of things. In the middle of the banquet, Yunzhu's married maid Hu Tao also came over, Hu Tao seemed to be in a little mood, and talked to Guan Er when he was busy outside, and then just attended the party as usual. Yuan Jin'er saw that Hu Tao was wrong, and when it was time to go to the toilet, she pulled the buckle outside and asked.

Kou'er also frowned: "Hu Tao said, Hu Tao said...... Her family's second cow just heard the news that it was brought by a business traveler from the southeast, saying that it was ...... The southeast side is in chaos, I heard that Hangzhou has been breached, and there are bandits everywhere around, and many bandits have risen up, and there is ...... No one can escape over there......"

"What......" Yuan Jin'er's eyes widened, and she didn't know what kind of mood Lu Dao was in for a while. Before she could summarize, Yunzhu's voice came from behind: "You say...... What the? ”

Looking back, Yun Zhu was standing at the door looking at the master and servant, her face was as white as paper, her thin body shook slightly, it seemed that the white dress and white dress seemed to be slightly glowing, making her look a little transparent, as if she might evaporate and float away in this world at any time.

That was naturally an illusion, and at the next moment when Yuan Jin'er had such a perception in her heart, Yun Zhu rushed out of the palace with her skirt, and Jin'er screamed "Ah-", slammed her waist around the other party, her head pressed her body desperately, and shouted in her mouth: "Buckle! Prepare the car! Prepare the car! Prepare the car-Sister Yunzhu, I'll go with you, I'll go with you-ahhhhh

Soon after, the carriage drove through the city street and stopped in front of the palace of Princess Chengguo, and the two women got out of the car and rushed to the door, and then were stopped by the shì guard, and the beautiful woman in the white dress trembled slightly, crying while crying, and the woman in the back also followed, and after waiting for a while, someone walked out of the mansion and welcomed the two women in. They saw Kang Xian in the side hall, and as soon as they saw the old man, Yun Zhu ran over and knelt down crying, and Jin'er who followed him also knelt down. Kang Xian hurriedly came over and helped the two of them up......

At the same time, in the vicinity of Hangzhou, there is no festive light.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky, in the stretching mountain road, only a few torches are illuminating the surrounding road, it looks like fireflies from a distance, only when the distance is close, you can hear the sound of people, footsteps, cars and horses, many people, in this usually not too many people walk on the winding mountain road crowded into a group, stretching into the distance in the dark. , The sound of horses' hooves ran through the darkness not far away, Ning Yi held a child in his hand, took Su Tan'er's hand, and was walking forward in the middle of the fleeing crowd, surrounded by almost all the people who belonged to the Su family. He had suffered some minor injuries in the battle at Taiping Lane, but they were all bandaged and fine, except for the seemingly endless walking, only the wound on his right arm, with the pulse stirring faintly a trace of pain.

At this time, the vicinity of Hangzhou was full of displaced people, who had been dispersed since the city of Hangzhou was broken, and were originally driven by Fang La. Order and the like are gone, there are slaughters and fights everywhere, only their team is the largest group of fugitives, among them, there are troops, there are the guards of the rich businessmen and gentry gathered by Ning Yi, etc., etc., most of the permanent people have joined this team, they are also the focus of Fang La's army, there should be several armies in the rear, and they are chasing this side with the power of breaking the city, on the way, they have been found once, a small battle, some old and weak, Left behind in the run, perhaps dead now.

The starry night gradually sank, and the dark clouds gradually obscured the night sky of Qixi Festival, and after a while, a knight on a horse and a torch came over, and was ordered to invite Ning Yi to discuss matters at a little in front of the team, Ning Yi nodded, pulled his wife, and went over there. When the night breeze blew, he also felt a little cold, maybe he had caught a cold after days of hard work......
