Xu Zizhen came over and only greeted Ma Chunlin, but ignored him, Qin Hui was a little embarrassed, he didn't know why, but he still came to salute, Xu Zizhen looked him up and down, and found that Qin Hui didn't seem to have changed much from before, if you want to say that there is, at most, after being captured by Jin Guo, there are more vicissitudes of life, and it is a lot calmer.

"Lord Qin, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Xu Zizhen still greeted him, paused and said, "Actually, you should thank me, oh, you should also hate me." ”

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "How can you say this?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled and didn't explain, he has been secretly paying attention to Qin Hui, but the news he received shows that he has no problems, he is still the upright imperial history before, Xu Zizhen's meaning is actually to say that if he hadn't quelled the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom, then according to history, Qin Hui would still be the first traitor in the ages, saying that he should thank him, that is because Xu Zizhen made him a good person again, and said that he should hate him, because he will not occupy an important position in the history books in the future, even if it is a reputation that has been infamous for thousands of years.

A few people didn't say anything, and entered the courtyard together, the courtyard was still the same as when Xu Zizhen came a few years ago, but it was more messy and dirty, and the weeds on the walls of the courtyard were almost waist-high.

Xu Zizhen followed Wen Baer to learn some of the fur of stepping on the plate when robbing the tomb, plus the courtyard is so big, it didn't take long for him to discover a secret cellar entrance, Su San and Bao'er didn't go down, left on the ground, Xu Zizhen and Ma Chunlin Qin Hui glanced at each other and went down the cellar together.

This cellar is still vaguely the appearance of Xu Zizhen and Wen Ba'er dug out, although it was blown up that time, but then the Wushu dug it up again according to the original general outline, and the three of them walked along a corridor for dozens of steps, and came to a very empty secret room at the end.

There are more than a dozen zhang square here, and there are more than a dozen boxes stacked in the middle, Xu Zizhen stepped forward to open it, and the silver light flashed for a moment, all of them were silver, but he was stunned for a moment, because these boxes were not big, even if they were all silver, they were only hundreds of thousands of taels at most, which was too different from what he expected.

"Look over there." Xu Zizhen settled down, walked to the side of the secret room, here is not a box, but a huge package tied tightly with oilcloth, he drew a knife to pick it open, pulled up a corner to look, and was stunned, Ma Chunlin and Qin Hui saw that he did not move, and hurriedly came to check, but they were also stunned at a glance, and then they were overjoyed.

The oilcloth bag was not gold and silver treasures, not anything of value, but it was of incomparable value to them, because it was full of books, ancient books, solitary books, and collection books, neatly stacked, and very well protected.

Ma Chunlin hurriedly opened another oilcloth bag, the same book, Qin Hui walked quickly to the wall on the other side of the secret room, opened one, but inside was a painting, a scroll of paintings, also protected without half defacement, and another one, it was a musical instrument, and then it was a ritual vessel......

Xu Zizhen was also excited at this time, as a Chinese, and he has always been an angry young man, he has always hated the resale of national treasures to foreigners, let alone being robbed, and these things in front of him are all palace things that were robbed by the Jin people when Bianjing was lost, and each of them is a fine product in the inheritance of Chinese culture.

Ten days later, when these precious calligraphy and painting instruments were sent back to the capital Yingtianfu, the entire Great Song Dynasty from Zhao Gou to the ministers, from the master to the villagers, all boiled, at this moment when everyone knew that this was Xu Zizhen's credit again, his prestige returned to the peak in a short period of time, and even exceeded that year.

The scholars thanked Xu Zizhen for retrieving the important treasure of the country for them, and the ordinary people saw that their Mr. Xu Da was able to snatch things back from the hands of the Jin people, no matter what the reason, at this moment, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty spontaneously cheered Xu Zizhen's name.

After the two-pronged persuasion letter of Wushu and the edict of Hela, the last part of the city occupied by the Jin State in the Great Song Dynasty finally could not hold on, and they opened the city and surrendered one after another.

This time all the armies came out of the army can be said to be the most trouble-free battle in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, except for the battle of Qifeng Valley, the other roads are basically zero casualties, Zong Ze, Yongye, and Zhang Shuye, Li Gang and others all came to Xu Zizhen's home in Yingtianfu after the war, and when they saw him, they all relied on the old man to praise him, and then patted him on the shoulder and touched his head, which made Xu Zizhen extremely depressed.

Fortunately, the situation changed the next day, Xiao Xianggong, Han Shizhong, Liu Fengsui, and Zhao Zhen, Mengdu, and Zhang Xiaochun all came, and brought Xu Zizhen's friends from all walks of life, Wu Song, Xin Chou, Yan Zhao, Jin Kepo, Taiyuan's fast-legged Tong Yin, etc., all of whom had not seen Xu Zizhen to catch up with him for several years.

So for a few days, the Xu family's banquet was not broken, almost all of Xu Zizhen's friends came, came to him to drink, chatted with him, laughed and cried, Xu Zizhen felt that no one in the whole world could be more lively and happier than his family, and then Xu Zizhen simply let people set up a flowing water table outside the house, so that the people in and outside the city came to drink, without any name, just for happiness, only for the peace of the world.

After five or six days of gathering like this, Zhao Gou suddenly asked Xu Zizhen to go.

Xu Zizhen sat quietly in front of Zhao Gou, there was a list in front of him, a list that was not too long, and the names headed by him were Bu Fen, Hao Donglai, Luo Ji, Tang Lun, and further down, He Liangliang Xu Qiqi and others were there, and even the name of Uncle Gui was there.

There were only two of them in the house, and Zhao Gou had already driven out all the attendants when Xu Zizhen came.

Xu Zizhen raised the paper and said, "Seventh Master, this is not appropriate, right?" They are all my brothers, and they are finally going to go with me to have a good time after the battle, and you are going to take them away as soon as you announce the edict? ”

Zhao Gou smiled, it seemed that his psychological and physical injuries had gradually recovered these days, he looked at Xu Zizhen and asked, "Zizhen, if you want to go freely, then you can go, but you don't want to be a glorious ancestor for these brothers of yours?" ”

Xu Zizhen said: "I want to, but they don't want to." ”

Zhao Gou said: "You can persuade them, they should listen to you." ”

Xu Zizhen said: "I will listen, but I don't want to." ”

"You ......" Zhao Gou was speechless, he suddenly felt that it was superfluous to discuss this matter with Xu Zizhen, wouldn't it be enough to directly enter the palace one by one according to the list?

Xu Zizhen chuckled, pushed the piece of paper away from him, and said, "Seventh Master, I'm almost coming to say goodbye to you, I'm ...... It's time to go and practice. ”

Zhao Gou's expression moved, and the word "cultivation" seemed to stimulate his heart more than anything in this world.

Xu Zizhen stood up, looked at the divided sky outside the pane, and said slowly: "At the beginning, the Shenji Battalion was five hundred brothers, including horse thieves at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and good boys from Lanzhou City. ”

He turned to look at Zhao Gou, his tone was very calm, but there was clearly sadness in his eyes that could not be concealed: "At the beginning, these brothers followed me to help me fight the Tangut people, and the Tangut people ran away, and the emperor Li Qianshun became my father-in-law, and they began to help me fight the Jin people again, and the Jin people finally ran away and obeyed, but the Seventh Master, until today, no matter whether they are alive or no longer brothers, no one has ever told me, they followed me because they wanted to be officials, they followed me just because they had enemies, and there was, They recognize me as a brother, now there is no need to fight, the world is really peaceful, they just want to enjoy this peace. ”

Zhao Gou was stunned with his mouth open, and he didn't know what to say.

Xu Zizhen shook his head, and suddenly smiled again: "Of course, I still left good things for you, such as the entire Xuanji Camp, in fact...... The current Great Song Dynasty needs them the most. He paused and said, "Seventh Master, believe me, if you want the Great Song Dynasty to be rich and strong, please treat them well." ”

Zhao Gou lowered his head slightly, groaned, his eyes moved slightly, he had already understood what Xu Zizhen meant, because just a few days ago, he saw with his own eyes the huge warship, the warship designed by Xu Zizhen and built by the Xuanji Battalion like a city on the water, just like Gao Pujun at the beginning, Zhao Gou was also sluggish at that moment, he never thought that such a big ship would only need thirty people to start.

Xu Zizhen clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Okay, Seventh Master, there is no banquet in the world, I should go, farewell!" ”

After that, he turned around and walked out, Zhao Gou just raised his hand to stop him, but saw Xu Zizhen stop, did not look back, but said: "The Tianji Battalion is good at dealing with the enemy, but if it still exists in the Taiping period, it will chill the hearts of its own people, so ...... Don't look for it, just assume that they are all dead. ”

Xu Zizhen left, walked extremely decisively, and never looked back, leaving only Zhao Gou in a daze.

Zhao Gou's mind was a little messy, he only felt that Xu Zizhen's thoughts were completely different from him, and the world, if it was someone else, if he had this monstrous achievement, he would definitely be able to be crowned a king, but Xu Zizhen didn't ask for anything, not only that, but he also knew that even the scholarship in Yingtian Academy and the expenses of the three camps of Shenji Tianji Xuanji were his money.

Xu Zizhen doesn't want money or rewards, even other people don't want it, if he hadn't pressed Gu Yifuzi, Gu Zhongchen would have run away, and after looking at the people around Xu Zizhen, it seems that only Liu Feng was easy-going and high-minded.

"Alas......" Zhao Gou rubbed his forehead, and sighed helplessly, since he fled from Ying Tianfu last time due to Miao Liu's change and quarreled with Xu Zizhen, his heart has changed, although his imperial power is still there, but he will never force Xu Zizhen to do anything, maybe he is looking forward to what Xu Zizhen said decades later, perhaps, he just wants to try to be a pure friend with Xu Zizhen.

……

Outside Yingtianfu, there is no birdsong in the forest, only the cold wind.

On the road in the woods, Xu Zizhen rode on the back of the little cabbage, rubbed his hands and whined the heat, and complained: "This ghost is so cold." ”

Bu Fen beside him said: "Then you can't go back after the New Year in Yingtianfu?" I have to leave at this coldest time. ”

Xu Zizhen glanced at him: "There are not many days before the New Year, my sons and daughters are still waiting for me, and Li'er Luoyan Xiaolanlan, oops, they must want to kill me." ”

"Phew!" Bu Fen smiled and scolded angrily, "Lao Tzu will marry a mother-in-law when he goes back, so that he will not be numb to you every day." ”

Li Meng poked his head and added, "My uncle has more than one piece of meat." ”

Xu Zizhen pushed his head away and said with a straight face: "Envy, right?" Okay, Bao'er bring the paper, I'll write a letter to Doki girl and let Xiao Meng add dozens of small rooms. ”

"Ahh Uncle, I was wrong, don't! Li Meng hurriedly begged for mercy, causing a commotion from everyone around him, and bursts of laughter came from the long convoy that followed behind.

Qian Tongzhi suddenly picked up the horse and squeezed over, rubbing his hands together, but no matter how he looked at it, he was full of weakness.

"That...... Xiao Xu, I have something to do this year, so I won't celebrate the New Year with you, I'll go to another road in front of me for a while. ”

Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Don't you celebrate the New Year together?" So where are you going to celebrate the New Year? ”

Qian Tongzhi laughed dryly: "Hehe, go to Taiyuan for the New Year." ”

Xu Zizhen was even more stunned: "Taiyuan? Going to accompany Lao Lu? ”

"No...... No. Qian Tongzhi's face suddenly turned red, and he said wryly, "Yes...... It's the shopkeeper of Wanyan. ”

Xu Zizhen didn't react for a while: "Which one is the shopkeeper?" Wan Yan Ang? ”

A crisp voice sounded next to him: "It's Sister Wanyanqing, Brother Qian has already secretly poked and poked and got along with others." ”

It's Lin Zhi, she didn't know when she rode a horse up, Xu Zizhen didn't understand, there was something wrong with not sitting in a car on this cold day.

Qian Tongzhi's face fell: "Your brothers and sisters are really like relatives...... What is called a secret poke and poke, it is so ugly to say. ”

Xu Zizhen reacted at this time and said in surprise: "Huh? It's true? ”

Wan Yan Qing is a strong business woman in the Jin Kingdom, Qian Tongzhi is now in charge of the general business of Xu Ji Firm, Xu Zizhen doesn't care what is dark or bright, this is a standard door, right, Lao Qian soaked Wan Yanqing's sister, and under the strong alliance, his Xu Ji Firm's business must not be on the other side of the world?

Xu Zizhen laughed twice, suddenly smiled, and said very seriously: "Old Qian, give you a difficult task, I will finish Yan Qing first during the Chinese New Year this year, and bring her to Yaode City after the New Year, and I will hold a big wedding for you!" ”

Before Qian Tongzhi could answer, there were already many people around him, including the Shenji Battalion, the children of the Yun family, Luo Ji and Xu Qiqi, etc., one by one, laughing and laughing with Qian Tongzhi.

Xu Zizhen said with emotion: "Even Lao Yan has finally married Xiu'er, Lao Qian is still single, and seeing that he has really become Lao Qian, it's all my fault, I didn't find him a wife earlier." ”

Lin Zhi put his little head up again, and said with a wicked smile: "Brother, after the New Year, you also married Duan Yan by the way, oh yes, and your dear little chubby girl Gillian, anyway, she is injured now, she can run and jump, and she will give you another big fat boy, and there is also that Wan Yanhong, her ass is bigger and more ...... Oops, why are you hitting me? ”

Xu Zizhen couldn't wait to pinch her in her pocket, and subconsciously secretly looked back at the convoy behind him, where there were a few female Hades kings, it was okay to be lucky and handy, at most give him a roll of the eyes, but Gao Pujun Shui Liuli Yan Yuzhu and Su San Wenxian were all there, talking nonsense would kill people, although Zhuo Ya and Hu Qing would not scold him, but they would also eat a little vinegar, even that little dark green would raise his waist and yell at him a few times, it is estimated that only Hu Sanniang will be happy among the women in the entire convoy.

Lin Zhi now has grown bones in her body, and she has already become a beautiful woman with ice muscles and jade skin, seeing Xu Zizhen's embarrassment, she grinned and came up again: "Brother, you can marry it." ”

"No, no, no!" Xu Zizhen is still making the last struggle.

Lin Zhi tugged at his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Oh, there are so many in the family anyway, and if you marry three more, you will have two more pairs of chopsticks, Gillian has always lived in our house anyway, and besides, if you don't marry them, how can I have a chance?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Zizhen was taken aback, and was about to reprimand Lin Zhi for being very praised...... No, it's an indecent idea, and suddenly I heard a clear voice behind me.

"Xu Zizhen, let go of my sister!"

Xu Zizhen was taken aback again, and when he turned his head, he saw Lin Chaoying's angry face, as if he was scolding him for holding her sister and molesting her in broad daylight, Xu Zizhen suddenly burst into flames, it was your sister who pulled me, not me who held her, besides, she is your sister, but she is also my sister, this is called intimacy, not flirting!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Lin Nuxia, why don't you go home for the New Year and follow us?" ”

Lin Chaoying snorted and said, "You care about me, when did I follow you, I am accompanying my sister, so as not to bully her while I am away." ”

Xu Zizhen roared: "Hmph, which eye did you see me bullying her?" ”

Lin Chaoying also roared: "I saw it with both eyes!" ”

The voices of the two of them became higher and higher, and every car in the convoy suddenly poked their heads out, and Gao Pujun and the other women all looked at Xu Zizhen with unkind faces, and Xu Zizhen only felt an unprecedented grievance falling from the sky.

"You, you, you......"

"What am I?"

Seeing Lin Chaoying pinching his waist and looking at him angrily, Xu Zizhen suddenly stopped the horse, and Lin Chaoying also strangled the reins at the same time.

With a snap, Xu Zizhen jumped off the horse, slowly walked towards Lin Chaoying, getting closer and closer, and stopped when he walked in front of her.

The two looked at each other, one high and one low, Xu Zizhen suddenly changed from angry eyes to a bad smile, approached Lin Chaoying and said, "Lin Nuxia, you won't be an excuse to accompany Lin Zhi, you actually like me, right?" ”

"Ahh Lin Chaoying exclaimed, her cheeks instantly turned red as if they were burning, and she stammered, "You, you, you, ......"

"What am I?" Xu Zizhen learned what she said just now, and then squeezed her eyes, "I decided, how many more will I marry during the Chinese New Year, will it not be your share?" ”

Lin Chaoying finally couldn't stand it anymore, jumped off the horse with an exclamation again, and ran towards the back, no matter whose car it was, he got into one and never showed up again.

Gao Pujun rolled her eyes, but retracted her head back into the car, only vaguely hearing her mutter: "I know ......"

Bu Fenqian and everyone were stunned, Xu Zizhen became more and more proud, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Fight with me? When I was eight years old, Xu Zizhen swore that one day I would soar to the rich and soak all the beauties in the world...... Ahh Lin Woman, you can't escape from my palm! Dig haha......"
