Volume 1: The Great Song Dynasty Chapter 139: Night (1)
After the sun in the west was blocked by the mountains, the astigmatism that was unwilling to be lonely still sprayed out in all directions; The clouds in the sky are painted with colorful sheep, grazing on the grasslands; The sheep turned into mighty lions, clad in golden armor, roaring at their oncoming opponents; The lion did not roar a few times, and then turned into several giant dragons and shook their bodies in the sky, and the trembling bodies of the dragons turned into small clumps of golden beads, agate, and golden light; The sky at dusk is a spectacular and colorful sight.
Zheng Shuang stood in the night under the sky, looking forward to being carried by Wang Da, Deng San, Zhao Liu, and Lei Wu, Xue Yuyang, as if he had overturned the five-flavor bottle in his heart; Bitter, sweet, sour, spicy, astringent, itchy, and itchy tastes.
Xue Yuyang looked back at Zheng Shuang several times on the stretcher, and suppressed his heart with reluctant feelings; Helplessly, the flowers fell and went with the stretcher.
The stretcher went down the slope and entered the reeds in the river bay, Zheng Shuang couldn't see Xue Yuyang's figure; Only then did he retract his gaze depressedly and saw Pu Dexiu standing not far from him; Then he shouted: "Grandpa Pu, where are Zheng Zi's horses?" ”
Pu Dexiu heard Zheng Shuang shouting, trotted to Zheng Shuang and said, "Zheng Zi is asking the horses prepared for you, right?" ”
"Yes, Grandpa Pu!" Zheng Shuang said unabashedly, glanced at him and said, "The Xue family army is 120 people this time, and no one is worthy of 3 horses to ride in turn; Aim for two days to get to Tokyo! ”
Zheng Shuang said and stretched his neck and throat and said, "We can't delay any longer, Kou Xiangye must not be able to wait over there!" ”
"That's that!" Pu Dexiu said happily: "Lao Pu has already arranged for the second child in the horse farm to prepare 200 war horses in Tianzhu Ridge; Preparing 100 horses in Xuejiaying will not affect our opening time! ”
Pu Dexiu raised his arm as he said and said, "The old man prepared a red charcoal fire dragon horse for Zheng Zi, a black horse, and a green horse!" ”
"Really!" Zheng Shuang said excitedly: "Listening to the name, it must be a good horse, so Grandpa Pu bothered!" ”
"What's the trouble with this, raising horses is Lao Pu's job; Dozens of horse wranglers at the horse farm are good hands! Pu Dexiu said, pointing his hand to the horse farm behind him and said, "Ah, the red charcoal fire dragon horse, black steed, and green horse prepared for Zheng Zi are tied up on the side of the No. 10 branch; Let's go check it out! ”
Pu Dexiu said, leading Zheng Shuang to the No. 10 racecourse; As he walked, he said with a heavy heart: "Zhengzi, Grandpa Pu is sorry for you!" ”
Zheng Shuang was stunned and rushed to Pu Dexiu to stare at him; I saw that the old man's face was full of gloomy looks; Unreasonably, he asked, "What does Grandpa Pu mean by this?" Are you sorry Zheng Zi? Where to start! ”
Pu Dexiu grabbed his two hands on his bare head and said: "Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da, the two wolves, ate Zheng Zi to death, this is all Lao Pu's fault; Lao Pu didn't discipline the two wolf cubs well! ”
Zheng Shuang laughed loudly, pointed his finger at Pu Dexiu and said, "Why does Grandpa Pu feel sorry for himself? Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da are your apprentices, yes, but Grandpa Pu didn't instruct them to kill people and poison them! ”
Pu Dexiu sighed and said: "Lao Pu naturally won't instruct them to do things that hurt heaven and reason, but the two of them are Lao Pu's apprentices after all; To do this kind of thing that is not as good as a jackal, Lao Pu can't get rid of it! ”
After a pause, he said with a heavy heart: "How could the old man have thought that Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da were two wolves who poisoned the wine bowl, and as a result, the bowl of poisonous wine was drunk by the rain girl; If it weren't for Zheng Zi's wonderful rejuvenation, the biological daughter that the old master had just recognized would probably be in the Yin and Yang worlds......"
"Grandpa Pu is a bit arrogant to blame himself like this!" Zheng Shuang laughed and said: "Zhang Zongmang and Erda are your apprentices, yes, but it will rain and the birds will fly; You can manage them for a while, but you can't care about them for a lifetime! ”
Zheng Shuang said thoughtfully: "The dagger of desperation appears, and the early exposure of Zhang Zongmang and Yuda is not necessarily a bad thing!" ”
Pu Dexiu lowered his head and was silent, suddenly raised his head and stared at Zheng Shuang and said, "Zheng Zi, where do you estimate Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da will go?" ”
Pu Dexiu said and sighed: "That incident happened in the last night, and Lao Pu has been uneasy in his heart; Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da are also gone, Lao Pu summoned more than a dozen people during the day today to search Tianzhu Ridge, Xianghe Bay, and Xue Jiaying in a carpet manner, but he did not find any clues of Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da; I don't know where they went! ”
"Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da either voted for Western Xia, or they were stupid for the Liao Kingdom!" Zheng Shuang said without hesitation: "The dog jumped over the wall and hugged Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da, that is very accurate!" ”
When Pu Dexiu heard Zheng Shuang say that Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da either went to Western Xia or went to Liao, he was shocked and said, "How is this possible? The Khitan Tatars led by the two of them before killing Xiao Tzu were unstoppable, how could they be traitors! ”
Zheng Shuang groaned for a while and said: "Chance is greater than inevitability!" Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da didn't say anything about killing the Khitan Tartars, but after their conspiracy to kill their own people was revealed, they felt that they couldn't stay in the same place; It is a possible choice to take refuge in the enemy and get promoted to a wealthy position! ”
Zheng Shuang glanced at Pu Dexiu as he said and said, "Grandpa Pu forgot that the prime minister of the north and south of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom is Han Derang?" Empress Dowager Xiao and her son Yelu Longxu built a Wenzhong palace for Han Derang to raise his status! Many students who were unwilling in the Song Kingdom saw that Han Derang was loyal and brave, and they followed suit. There is also the Western Xia Kingdom, which does not refuse to come to the Han students who enter the country from the Central Plains, and lures them with high-ranking officials, and many Han students are attracted to the past! ”
Stretching his neck and throat, he said, "Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da feel that they have no future in the Xue family's army, and they are very likely to do something that insults their ancestors!" ”
Xue Shisan came over from there, and when he heard Zheng Shuang say this, he hurriedly picked up and said: "Zheng Shuang, you said that Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da either defected to Western Xia or went to Liao, how could this be ......?"
Xue Shisan was interrupted by Zheng Shuang before he finished speaking, and said, "What's impossible about this?" Zheng Shuang asked rhetorically: "It's no wonder that grandpa always thinks about the good, after all, you have raised Zhang Zongmang and Yan for more than ten years; But you don't know these two guys, Zheng Zi saw the wolf nature in their eyes; It's a wolf that always wants to eat people, and the two of them defected to Liao! ”
"Defect to Liao!" Xue Shisan was surprised and said: "If Mangzi and Yuda defect to the Liao State, won't the anti-intermediary plan set by Zheng Zi be in vain?" ”
"It's not enough, but the threat is inevitable!" Zheng Shuang said bluntly: "Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da are really going to defect to the Liao State, then Zhang Shiyong, Hu Hanzhi, and Zhou Hanhe are in a dangerous situation, not to mention that Yu Da is very clear about the content of the anti-intermediary scheme!" ”
"What should I do?" Xue Shisan couldn't wait to ask: "Do you want to send someone to chase and kill?" ”
Zheng Shuang waved his hand and said: "It's not yet a step yet, but we must be highly vigilant and take precautions!" ”
Zheng Shuang raised his arm and said: "Let's not talk about whether this is good or not, go to the 10th horse farm to see the red charcoal fire dragon foal, black steed, and green horse prepared by Grandpa Pu for Zheng Zi......"
