Only by having a target can you get twice the result with half the effort. Fu Fan's family business is huge, not bad for gold and silver women, but Zhao Dangshi heard that Fu Wang Zhu Changxun often lacks strength due to physical reasons, so he used the power of the secret service department and the internal affairs department to do everything possible to scrape such a small porcelain bottle from the countryside of northern Chu "Toad Crisp Gold Fang" and dedicated it to Zhu Changxun.

Thousands of dollars are easy to get, but good medicine is hard to find. After Fu Xunyu took out the porcelain vase, Zhu Changxun, who was as stable as Mount Tai, moved with him, gasping, but seeing that he struggled to twist his fat buttocks, five or six servants and maids in the palace surrounded him, and they worked together to straighten the body of more than 300 catties, and put a very soft pillow behind him.

"Huh......" This is a normal sitting action in the eyes of others, as if Zhu Changxun half of his life has been abolished, his eyes are half-closed, and it took a long while before he let out a long sigh and calmed down his unstable chest.

Zhu Changxun didn't want to speak loudly, so a steward heard an instruction from Zhu Changxun and relayed it to Fu Xunyu for him: "The prince asked you to wait for you to get up." The gift was accepted, and there was feedback in the palace, and it would be sent by the person in charge later. ”

Fu Xunyu got up and thanked him, and saw Zhu Changxun's eyes wandering, as if he was impatient to speak again, so he retreated. When passing in front of Zhu Yousong, he congratulated a few words in advance, and Zhu Yousong smiled and nodded: "I heard that General Soldier Zhao is the weapon of Hu Lian, and he needs General Soldier Zhao to sit in the north to fight against Jiannu. ”

"North?" Fu Xunyu paused, and then said sincerely: "I am not honored to accept the appreciation of the prince." But he laughed in his heart, although Zhu Yousong has a gentle temperament and knows some poetry and books, but he has never gone out for decades in the Fu Domain, and he inevitably sits in the well and watches the sky, and he doesn't know anything about current affairs and government affairs - he called a drooping child in Luoyang City, and he also knew that Chu Bei, which Zhao was taking care of, was in the south of Luoyang, not to mention what to fight against Jiannu.

There are wings in the Fuwang Mansion to receive visiting guests. The birthday banquet of Zhu Yousong, the king of Dechang, will start tomorrow, and Fu Xunyu, Zheng Shihao and others will rest in the mansion for a night. The next day, the palace moved together to finish the birthday banquet that lasted for most of the month. Since the early morning, the music class has been hired to beat gongs and drums non-stop, and the bells and drums of the whole palace are ringing in unison, and the festival is lively.

At dusk, the guests in the palace were invited to the carrier hall to participate in Zhu Yousong's birthday banquet. The orchestra in the hall is bamboo, drumming and blowing sheng, and the wonderful sound is curling. Zhu Changxun, the fat king of fortune, was at the top, and his broad body almost completely covered the big mahogany Lingzhi chair he was sitting on. The birthday star King Dechang was slightly lower than him, and the rest of the people sat in the order.

The dancing girl on the banquet was a warbler and a swallow, and the guests enjoyed themselves during the banquet. Fu Xunyu and Zheng Shihao sat on the top of the middle, saying that they were on the top of the middle, but because of the large opening room, they were still more than 20 steps away from Zhu Changxun's father and son, and they couldn't communicate at all. The people on the left and right were all officials from all over Henan who were irrelevant to Yu Zhaoying, and Fu Xunyu didn't want to bother to make friends, so he simply concentrated on enjoying the song and dance, and drank with Zheng Shihao.

The wine was drunk, and he was replaced by the famous acrobatic troupe in Luoyang City, which was full of changes and strange situations. A group of musicians on the side of the seat then withdrew, and Fu Xunyu saw that in the crowd, a young trumpeter in a gray shirt always glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he was unhappy, so he deliberately turned around and applauded the performance of the troupe.

Who would have thought that when the group of musicians passed through the gap on Fu Xunyu's side, the gray-shirted trumpeter bumped into Fu Xunyu, causing most of the wine in his cup to be turned upside down.

"Your Excellency forgives your sins." Seeing this, the gray-shirted trumpeter panicked, hurriedly squatted down, and wiped the place that was splashed with wine for Fu Xunyu with the hem of his clothes.

Fu Xunyu was a little angry, and looked at it, but saw that although his gray-shirted trumpeter kept in his hand, his eyes looked straight over, and he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, after most of the musicians passed, the gray-shirted trumpeter muttered in a low voice: "When I was young, the right mountain and river altar of the temple will be narrated." After saying that, he immediately got up and hurriedly followed behind a group of musicians.

Zheng Shihao also heard the gray-shirted trumpeter speak and asked, "Foreign envoy, what did that kid say?" ”

Fu Xunyu muttered: "That kid took a closer look, but he was a little familiar. Then he commanded, "I'll go out later, and I'll be back at once." If anyone asks, they will say that I have gone. "Since the collision and clinking glasses is intentional, then the other party must have been eyeing him for a long time, and he must have seen it.

The acrobatic troupe on the table was performing enthusiastically, Fu Xunyu had no intention of watching it again, and clapped his hands a few times, drank a few times, and took an opportunity, pretending to be drunk, and staggered to attend the hall after going around the beam. Some servants and maids were afraid that he would fall, so they came up to help him, and they all pulled him aside by pretending to be drunk. Outside the hall, a cool breeze blows in the face, look up, the moon and stars are scarce, only a few steps out of the temple door, the silence outside and the noise inside are like two worlds.

The mountain and river altar is on the east side of the carrier hall, although it is also separated by hundreds of steps, but fortunately, there is no other building in the middle to block it, and it can be seen that you will not get lost. Fu Xunyu took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, strode forward, and when he was about to reach the mountain and river altar, the previous group of musicians suddenly came in groups from the side of the altar. Fu Xunyu avoided slightly, and looked at them with his spare eyes, and their direction should be the location of the sixth bureau further south.

After the musician left, Fu Xunyu took three steps and two steps to cross the mountain and river altar, and walked around the house between the altars, when a shadow flashed out of the darkness, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Mr. Fu?" Turning his head, he saw that it was the young gray-shirted trumpeter.

"I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Fu Xunyu was puzzled, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt in front of him.

The gray-shirted trumpeter arched his hand and said, "Break into the camp Liu Tichun." He then explained, "Yesterday, I met Mr. by chance and only felt a little acquaintance, and then I determined the origin of Mr. on the name of the guest. ”

Fu Xunyu immediately knew that this Liu Tichun was the companion of the "King of Chuang" Li Zicheng, who had been to Zhao Ying several times and lived for a period of time, and they had met at that time. He was still a young man when he first came, but when he came back, he matured a lot, and now he sees it again, and he is more calm.

"How can you see the name of the guest?"

Liu Tichun smiled and said: "The palace is not the Forbidden City, and with my means of breaking into the camp, it is more than enough to look at the name." ”

Fu Xunyu hesitated: "That class of musicians ......"

"Oh, they're not barricades. I met me on the way, and when they saw that I was playing the trumpet, they took me away. I relied on them to get into the house. Liu Tichun said.

"Are you the only one in the palace?"

Liu Tichun shook his head and said, "The people in the camp are acting separately, and I don't know how many people came. ”

Fu Xunyu knew that he didn't want to say it, so he asked: "In the past few months, I have rarely heard of the news of King Chuang, I don't know what is going on now?" Since two years ago, Li Zicheng and Chuang Camp have gradually disappeared, even if Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting have successively led the troops to Qinwang and Shaanxi, they have not improved. Zhao Dangshi also sent people to look for Li Zicheng's traces, but to no avail.

Liu Tichun replied: "For the past two years, King Chuang has been leading me to rest and recuperate. Recently, everything is ready, and I want to go out of the mountain. ”

Fu Xunyu was taken aback: "Out of the mountain? ”

"Not bad." Liu Tichun smiled and looked extremely serious, "At that time, the officials and troops were arrogant and rebellious, pressing step by step, and there was a traitor like Chief Qi in the camp. Since the beginning of this year, there has been a great drought in Henan Province, and there has been a locust plague, and the people have no livelihood for thousands of miles. ”

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Liu Guoneng, Zhang Xianzhong and other big robbers surrendered to the official army one after another, and the rogue forces were one of them. Yu Kou, including the Hui and Cao battalions, basically survived in the Chuyu area, but the camp was still struggling in Shaanxi under the leadership of Li Zicheng. At that time, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, and Fu Zonglong, the governor of Sichuan, were all good at fighting, and worked together to encircle and suppress, and it was difficult to break into the camp and retreat one after another.

However, as Liu Tichun said, from the end of last year to this year, Henan has suffered serious natural disasters, and most areas have not harvested. And Shaanxi's elite soldiers and strong generals went to Liaodong, Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu pursued Zhang Xianzhong even more, Shaanxi, Chu and Henan officers and soldiers were empty, and with such an excellent environment, Li Zicheng's decision to make a comeback was also reasonable.

"If King Chuang wants to make trouble, why don't you come to my Zhao camp to ventilate?" Fu Xunyu asked, "Why didn't you ask our battalion for support when you were in the mountains before?" ”

After asking two questions in a row, Liu Tichun's face became slightly cramped, and he only said that the preparation was not thorough, and he did not dare to disturb easily. Fu Xunyu didn't know what he was thinking, it must be because Zhao Ying was attached to the official army, and Li Zicheng had concerns and didn't dare to contact him again.

Seeing through it or not, Fu Xunyu immediately changed the topic and said: "If King Chuang wants to go out of the mountain, then you come to Luoyang, you should come to step on it." ”

Liu Tichun responded: "Yes, as soon as King Chuang moves, the world responds." At present, the rebel army in Henan, there is already a dragon, Song Jiang, Zhang Juanzi, Yuan Laoshan, Yidougu, clay jar and many other departments are willing to echo and cooperate, just waiting for King Chuang to lead the heavenly soldiers into Yu and sweep the whole province. He added, "Sir, don't you hear that nursery rhymes have been circulated in Henan." ”

"What nursery rhyme?"

"'Seeking ascension in the morning, seeking harmony in the evening, it is difficult for the poor to survive recently, open the door early to meet the king, and discipline the big and small are happy'."

Fu Xunyu echoed: "King Chuang is indeed destined to return. In his heart, he thought about the "extensive assistance" policy set by Zhao Yingzhong early in the morning. When this policy was decided, it was said that Zhang Xianzhong, Ma Shouying, Luo Rucai, etc. in the liukou could not be trusted, and only Li Zicheng needed to make friends. In the past two years, although the forces have changed and ebbed, and the main contradictions have been constantly and easily changed, the content of the policy has never changed. This is the advantage of a group with a unified vision and goals, even if Zhao Dangshi has not mentioned the camp for a long time, but when the camp really appears in front of him, subordinates like Fu Xunyu can quickly know what to do and what to do.

"It's not a secret, although my camp is temporarily submissive to the imperial court, my lord has never forgotten the kindness of King Chuang in the past, and now I am fortunate to meet him, and I dare to ask for a recommendation to meet King Chuang." Fu Xunyu said that this is a good opportunity to connect with the camp again, how can it be easily let go.

Liu Tichun also intended to contact Zhao Ying, otherwise he would not have specially summoned Fu Xunyu to the mountain and river altar to meet. However, he still pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "King Chuang Yinian and Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao's old feelings. It's just that tomorrow I will go out of the house with that group of musicians and then choose the opportunity to leave and return to the camp, sir...... Is it convenient sir? ”

Fu Xunyu said: "There is no inconvenience, Fu's birthday has been completed today, and he should accompany him to the camp tomorrow." ”

Liu Tichun nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

At that moment, the two discussed the future in the mountain and river altar carefully, and then separated. Fu Xunyu walked back to the carrying hall where Wuzi sang and danced, and sat down in his original position, Zheng Shihao leaned over and asked, "Foreign envoy, is there a situation?" ”

Fu Xunyu stared intently at the performance on the table, and said: "Tomorrow, when you leave the house, you go to Shaolin Temple, and then go back to Fanhe City directly, I have other plans." ”

Zheng Shihao said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Fu Xunyu remembered something again, and added: "By the way, Yuzhai is there, you also go by the way, and I will talk to you about the regulations in detail tonight." After speaking, he coughed twice, picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"Imperial Village?" Zheng Shihao was slightly surprised, this trip, coming to Fu Fan to celebrate his birthday and visiting Shaolin is a must for Zhao Dangshi's orders, whether to go to the imperial village, Fu Xunyu will decide according to the trip to Shaolin. Now listening to Fu Xunyu's meaning, he must go to the palace to see it.

"This trip is very important, you should be careful yourself." Fu Xunyu's face was solemn, and the hand holding the wine glass was also trembling, and it could be seen that he was also uneasy, "The sky in Henan, I'm afraid it will change." ”
