The afterglow of the setting sun swept across the river, turning the sparkling waves of the sea golden. Wang Lun and the others' sea boat traveled for a day and finally docked in the evening.

In the past 100 years, although there were no official exchanges between the Song and the Jurchens, there were frequent people-to-people exchanges. Over the years, the huge sea ships of the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens on the seaside were not uncommon. Therefore, after the fleet led by Wang Lun docked, although it aroused the curiosity of the local Jurchens, it was not attacked.

Wang Lun and the others were just about to ask the local Jurchens about the road to Hushui, when suddenly a road dispersed among the Jurchen crowd. This is the local Jurchen leader coming, and he must take a look at it when outsiders come here.

"Guests from afar, I don't know what can be done for you!" The leader saw that Wang Lun and the others were from the Song Dynasty, so he was very polite.

In the impression of the Jurchens, the Great Song Dynasty was very powerful, could compete with the Great Liao, and was very wealthy, so these people who looked at the Song Dynasty were all Heavenly Empire and full of yearning.

Yang Lin acted as the interpreter of the team, and in order to avoid extraneous complications, he only said that he and others were merchants of the Song Dynasty. "I heard that Yanbu's mink and ginseng are good, and I want to buy some back."

When the leader heard that Wang Lun and the others were here to do business, he was even more enthusiastic and invited Wang Lun and the others to be guests in the tribe. At this time, it was already late, and Wang Lun should also go down.

After that, Wang Lun ordered a lot of Liangshan wine to be brought down from the sea ship, loaded four carts, and sent ten jars to the leader. The chieftain was a man of good wine, and a pair of nostrils could smell the aroma of wine through the sealing mud, and immediately opened a jar, and when he tasted it, he muttered a lot of words with joy.

Although Wang Lun can order Jurchen language, he can only listen to a rough idea, and there are words of praise and thanks. Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and these spirits are the best cold drinks, and the Jurchens naturally love them.

When he arrived at the Jurchen tribe by the sea, the leader immediately sold hazelnuts, pine nuts, musk, furs, and so on from his tribe to Wang Lun. However, Wang Lun didn't care about this, and in order to save his tongue, he only bought tiger bones, deer antlers, and mink fur that he liked.

After getting more than two hundred taels of silver, the leader was overjoyed, and sold other goods to Wang Lun. Wang Lun saw that there were some horses in this tribe, so he proposed to buy 100 good horses.

However, war horses are also important strategic materials for this tribe, but the leader did not spit easily, and in the end Wang Lun spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy 20 good horses.

Now both sides were happy, and then they rested.

On the morning of the second day, the tribe sent two guides to set off with Wang Lun and his party. Perhaps because of the ten jars of fine wine, the leader also sent thirty strong and sturdy tribal warriors to escort Wang Lun and the others.

At the same time, Wang Lun gave a Jurchen rider five taels of silver and asked him to ride a fast horse to press the tiger water to report the news.

Now that it is late autumn, this road to the north, as far as the eye can see, is full of withered yellow, and there is no trace of green. And the further north it gets, the more desolate it becomes, and Lu Zhishen and Yang Lin, who are accustomed to hardships, have to admit that the Jurchens living here have very tenacious willpower.

After walking for three days, the person who went to the Jurchen Wanyan Department to report the news came back. Also came with Wanyan Sect leader Wanyan Aguta's third son Wanyan Liduo, if Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu), Wanyan Zonghan (sticky), Wanyan Zongwang (can't leave), Wanyan Liang, Wang Lun still knows, but he has never heard of Wanyan Liduo.

However, seeing that it was Aguta's son who came forward, Wang Lun knew that Aguta was now accumulating strength and was very concerned about the connection with the Great Song Dynasty.

The group quickly stepped up, starting from Suzhou, passing through Chengzhou, Liaoyang, Guidezhou, Xianping, Hanzhou, Longzhou and finally entering Huining Mansion, and arrived at the tiger water after seven days.

Looking at the low city wall and the simple gatehouse in front of him, Shan Shiqi smiled and said, "Is this the largest city of the Jurchens?" Why does it look similar to our county seat! ”

Lu Zhishen was also disappointed: "It's not! It's a little too small. ”

The two of them were obviously a little disappointed and disdainful of the Jurchen city.

Huining Prefecture has long had an administrative body, but it was not built for a long time, so the scale is much worse than that of the general county seat of the Song Dynasty, let alone compared with the Song Dynasty's national capital Tokyo Bianliang City. This is still the preparation of Aguda's determination to resist the Liao before building the headquarters, otherwise the city will be even more unbearable.

"This way from Suzhou, look at which cities can compare to the cities of the Great Song Dynasty!" Afraid that Lu Zhishen and others would underestimate the Jurchens, Wang Lun said, "One is offensive, and the other is defensive." It is useless for the Jurchens to ask for a big city wall, and no matter how big the city of the Great Song Dynasty is, it is easy to break. ”

Immediately, Wang Lun sighed and said, "What's the use of a large city? I can guarantee that if the Jurchens send 20,000 elite soldiers, they can easily capture the city of any state capital in the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty sent 20,000 soldiers not only to be unable to capture the city, but would be defeated by the other party. ”

Lu Zhishen and the three couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, along the way, they naturally saw the bravery of the Jurchen soldiers. Not to mention anything else, the tribal warriors sent by the Jurchen leader in Suzhou to protect them were as fierce and brave as the Liangshan soldiers, far from being comparable to the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. What's more, there is an even more powerful Wanyan Jurchen?

This bravery refers not only to the body, but also to a kind of momentum, a kind of momentum that dares to fight.

Wang Lun continued: "In today's Song court, the officials are mediocre, the traitors are in power, the officials are corrupt, and the soldiers are afraid of death. In front of the Jurchens, an embarrassing blow. If the Jurchens destroy Liao, once they invade the south, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

It is indeed unimaginable, the Northern Song Dynasty in history, in front of the Jurchens, not only was the national capital breached, but even the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong were taken captive, not to mention the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains that were lost in vain.

This is the first time that Wang Lun has confided his worries in front of Lu Zhishen and others.

At this time, the Jurchens such as Liduo walked in front with the people from the Jurchen Department by the sea, accompanied by Yang Lin. The distance is far away, Wang Lun and the others speak Chinese, and they are not afraid of being heard by him.

"This Jurchen is really that powerful!"

Although everyone has always been very convinced of Wang Lun, they still can't help but raise doubts.

"Humph! If the Jurchens really invaded the south, the imperial court might not even have the strength to fight back! Wang Lun looked at the Liao Liduo in front of him, his eyes were calm.

"That'...... Then the great country of our Central Plains will not all fall into the hands of the Jurchens! Shan Shiqi jumped to his feet and said.

When Lu Zhishen and the others thought of such consequences, they also broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that the story of Wuhu Chaohua is going to be staged again!

Wang Lun had already planned, and said freely: "The Song court can't count on it, in order to protect our Han people from the ravages of foreign races...... We must stand up! ”

What to do when he stood up, Wang Lun didn't say, but Lu Zhishen, Shan Shiqi and others could vaguely guess that in their hearts.

To stand up, not only to resist the invasion of the Jurchens, but also to overthrow the 'heaven' above.

Guessing this, several people were not surprised or scared, but looked forward to it.

The group entered the city, and Liduo led everyone to Wanyan A's mansion. Wanyan A is the sixth powerful figure in the Jurchens, and he is the figure in charge of internal affairs and business in the Wanyan Ministry. Wang Lun's business is not small, so he personally went out.
