Wu Zhi smiled and handed over the charter, Xiao Fengxian was no longer as casual as Fang Cai, but looked at it carefully, and asked Wu Zhi specific matters while reading, Wu Zhi was using the idea of "one country, two systems" in later generations, of course, it has changed a lot, this is the result of his painstaking discussion with Zong Ze, which has largely preserved the face of the Liao State, and almost never changes the status quo of Youyun except for the garrison, Xiao Fengxian nodded again and again.

"It's hard for my brother to come up with this idea, so my brother will take the charter over and ask everyone to ......discuss it," Xiao Fengxian smiled and picked up the charter and wanted to go out.

"Why should big brother be in a hurry?" Wu Zhi smiled and stopped Xiao Fengxian, and snatched the charter from Xiao Fengxian's hand, "There are a few things wrong with this charter, wait for my brother to go back, and then refer to it in detail, haha......"

Xiao Fengxian looked at Wu Zhi in amazement, Wu Zhi also looked at Xiao Fengxian with a smile for a long time, and then Xiao Fengxian finally sighed and said dejectedly: "Brother seems to be too shrewd......"

Wu Zhi sat down on the chair for a long time, picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea, and asked, "But Longhua Prefecture has been lost?" ”

Xiao Fengxian also slowly sat back in his chair and shook his head: "Longhua Prefecture has not been lost, the Jin people have gone south, and Zhongjing Dading Mansion has been captured!" ”

Wu Zhi was shocked that Zhongjing was lost? Then wouldn't you have to take the sea route to return to the Great Song Dynasty? Or the prairie that takes a detour to the west? Suddenly, a wave of ecstasy came to my heart, and what did I think? This is a great piece of good news, hundreds of times better than the capture of Longhua Prefecture, and the capture of Zhongjing by the Jin people cut off the direct connection between Youzhou and Shangjing. Liao's Beijing, Youyun Prefectures and Xijing, Datong Mansion and Shangjing's traffic arteries were cut off, only through the West Road Grassland, in this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that Nanjing and Xijing are isolated and helpless, after all, the West Road Grassland Road is inconvenient, so it is said that if you go out of the large-scale march from Shangjing, you will not be able to reach Youzhou at all for a month.

Wu Zhi asked indifferently on his face: "King Lu just let them go south?" ”

Xiao Fengxian sighed and said, "King Lu is on his way back to Beijing to hear a military report that the momentum of the Jin people is too strong. It is difficult for our army to win in the field battle, and if we can only hold the city and counterattack Tokyo, Liaoyang Mansion, I am afraid that it will be defeated by the cavalry of the Jin people halfway...... I can't imagine that a straight woman is so hateful. I should have killed them all in my early years! Xiao Fengxian said that he was already gritting his teeth a little later.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Big brother forgot what I said?" Even if there are no straight women, is there no straight men? I want the world to be peaceful. A rich country and a strong army are the right way. ”

Xiao Fengxian nodded slightly: "Brother naturally understands this reason, but he is just angry when he thinks about it!" Endure...... Don't talk about this, tell the truth, and tell my brother that I think the embarrassing situation in Nanjing and Xijing is now very clear to my brother, is it going to be a big day again? Xiao Fengxian said with a wry smile.

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The sky is full of wants, but I don't dare to read the charter, so let's go directly to discuss how to return the Youyun Prefectures!" With that, he stood up and walked out.

Xiao Fengxian smiled bitterly and pulled Wu Zhi and said, "My good brother, hey, don't mess around, the saint is the best face-saving person." If you look at the current situation according to the brother's charter, maybe the saint can agree, but if the brother bluntly says that I want to return the clouds, the saint will never agree. ”

Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The situation is stronger than people, so he can't agree!" ”

Xiao Fengxian looked at Wu Zhi and sighed: "Then let's go and discuss ......."

Wu Zhi laughed: "Big brother doesn't have to be depressed, my big Song will face the golden man when he gets Youyun." When the time comes, help the eldest brother drive the Jin people back to the mountains and let them continue to be monkeys. Then Da Liaowen is like a rock, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Why should my brother be discouraged? ”

Xiao Fengxian smiled bitterly and said, "I just hope that what my brother said is sincere, not a lie," he said and walked out with Wu Zhi.

The palace of the king of Lu is located in the north city of Shangjing, surrounded by the spacious avenue paved with bluestone slabs of dignitaries and dignitaries, the avenue is thick on both sides of the wall, and the green tiles are faintly visible behind the wall, and several evergreen ancient trees emerge from time to time, and the shade is like an umbrella.

Wu Zhi stood in front of King Lu's mansion, stared at the Khitan text on the archway at the gate of the mansion for a long time, and then nodded slightly, Shi Xiu stepped forward and handed over the name post, and several subordinates at the gate of the mansion were still wondering what these Han people were doing, but seeing their gorgeous clothes, King Lu told them not to oppress the Han people, so they didn't step forward to drive them away.

When they saw the name of "Guiwang" on the post, several subordinates immediately laughed all over their faces, and some people flew in as if they were flying in, and the report was not very good, and there were chirping laughter and small footsteps in the children's courtyard, and with the laughter, Jin Zhi and Xiao Qianqian walked out one after another.

"Come with me, Daddy is going to the palace......" Jin Zhi walked up to Wu Zhi and beckoned to Wu Zhi with a smile.

Xiao Qianqian respectfully shouted, "Uncle! The eyes of the people in the palace next to them almost popped out, regardless of their surprise, Wu Zhi and the three of them walked into the Lu Wangfu with a smile, Jin Zhi took Wu Zhi to tour the mansion, and finally invited Wu Zhi to drink tea in the living room.

The three of them were talking and laughing, the footsteps outside the living room sounded, the light at the door was dim, Fang La walked in, compared to when Fang La was in Jiangnan, Fang La was obviously much older, and her originally smooth face was covered with frowns, and there was more wind and frost, which was obviously caused by this bumpy and homeless day, and the beautiful man in Jiangnan was not the same.

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment and stood up: "It's been a long time!" King Lu's complexion is not very good! ”

Fang La was followed by a white-faced scribe who stared at Wu Zhi for a long time, and snorted coldly in his nose: "It's not thanks to you!" "This person is Wang Yin, don't look at him, he was born with Si Swenwen, but he is really the number one master under Fang La, and he is even higher than Shibao Deng Yuanjue.

Fang La saw that Wu Zhi also had mixed feelings, and was stunned for a while, waving his hand, Wang Yin nodded slightly, retreated, and did not forget to glare at Wu Zhi before leaving.

Jin Zhila Xiao Qianqian got up and said, "You guys talk!" When he walked to the door, he suddenly walked back to Wu Zhi as if he remembered something, and said softly, "You...... Daddy, he's suffered a lot these days...... You ......"

Wu Zhi smiled at her slightly: "Don't worry." I care. ”

Jin Zhi got Wu Zhi's promise, gave Wu Zhi a sweet smile, and ran out happily.

Seeing her daughter's situation, Fang La couldn't help but sigh, slowly walked to the main seat, sat down, stretched out her hand, and said, "Your king, please take a seat." ”

Wu Zhi sat down and couldn't help but glance at Fang La a few more times, Fang La's face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Knowing that you are Queen Lu, I have already sent someone to return to the southern kingdom quickly, presumably at this time, Prince Ling is already on his way to the northern kingdom. However, the Dading Mansion has fallen, and it will take a few days for your father and son to reunite. Wu Zhi took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Fang La nodded: "Thank you, your king." But there was no joy in his face.

Wu Zhi said: "Speaking of which, Brother Fang is now in the northern country, and he is also going to be windy and rainy. It's far better than being a tyrant on that side in the south, could it be that Brother Fang still hates me? ”

Fang La shook his head: "There is no need to mention the past affairs. Your king had better explain his intentions earlier. ”

Wu Zhi knew that the knots in Fang La's heart could not be unraveled in a while, if he saw the enemy who had ruined most of his life's hard work, he was afraid that he was not as good as Fang La, and Fang La did not speak ill of himself, which was already very good.

"Well, then I'll make a long story short, presumably Emperor Liao summoned you to the palace this morning to discuss the matter of Youyun, I don't know what Brother Fang's plans are?" Wu Zhi is no longer verbose and directly talks about the point.

Fang La looked at Wu Zhi and said, "What do you want to do, such as financial power, and you have made it up again?" ”

On that day, the alliance and peace talks finally agreed that the financial power of the Youyun Prefectures would be under the control of the northern kingdom, and the rest of the affairs under the jurisdiction of the military would be handled by the Great Song Dynasty. Wu Zhicai didn't care about the few taxes in Youzhou, it was just a step for the Liao people, not to mention that it was the power of the tax land, and the Liao people also had to negotiate with the local officials, not to say that they could do whatever they wanted.

Wu Zhi nodded and said, "What do you think of the peace agreement?" ”

Fang La said: "The peace agreement is not very good, it is just a disguised recovery of the clouds, but in the current situation, the Liao people have no second way to go!" ”

Wu Zhi heard Fang La's words call "Liao people". A smile in his heart. After all, I still think I am a Song person.

"Grace is gone!" Wu Zhi knew the answer he wanted. Get up and say goodbye at the moment, this peace treaty is not acceptable, the Liao people do not agree, if they don't agree, they can raise troops to conquer Youyun, Yeluchun is isolated, how can he hold it? It's just that when the time comes, it will inevitably add a lot of unjust souls, and there will be hidden dangers of being profited by the golden fisherman.

Moreover, at this time of the chaos of the army, Emperor Liao must have been even more worried about Yeluchun, Yeluchun's army retreated to Xijing, Datong Mansion and Xijing stayed behind, Xiao Cha stabbed the two armies together, and the two armies together would definitely be able to keep Xijing safe, and the two would balance each other, so as not to have any dissenting intentions in this enclave.

However, what Wu Zhi is worried about is Fang La's attitude, now that Fang La is the number one celebrity in front of Emperor Liao, his attitude is very important, if he holds a grudge against himself, breaking this peace treaty, it will inevitably increase many variables.

Although Fang La did not say Wu Zhi explicitly, he also knew that he did not get in the way in front of Emperor Liao, and immediately got up to say goodbye, Fang La did not stay, and sent Wu Zhi to the door of the mansion and went straight back to the house.

A few days later, Emperor Yelu Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo issued an edict to dismiss Xiao Delide, the privy envoy of the North Court, and the king of Lu, Yelu Yue, recruited the general to go to Beijing, and the soldiers and horses of Shangjing were conquest of Jin Guoyi, Kunzhou, Longhua Prefecture, and Tongzhou.

As for Song Liaohe, he only vaguely mentioned a few words in the edict, after all, it is not a glorious thing to return Youyun to the south.

Wu Zhi has also been busy packing up these days, and this time the Liao harvest is much better than expected, but the Jin people have captured Zhongjing, and they need to hurry back to the south to arrange and receive Youyun as soon as possible.

On this day, Wu Zhi was rummaging through the house to buy gifts for Jin Lian's daughters, seeing what had fallen, and he didn't mutter: "Well, this is Jin Lian's...... This is a tangram...... This is Xuanjing...... This is Bamboo's ......"

Looking at the other pile of small and chic or elegant dresses, he sighed, "This is a pity, ...... "Since spending a night there, I haven't seen Yan Po for a long time, and I just let Long Wu inform her." Eun went to see her when she returned to the southern country.

"Princess Shaoyang is visiting!" Just thinking about it, the words of the guards outside the room came, Wu Zhi said "En", tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the inner room.

In the living room, Jin Zhi was drinking tea, she seemed to be a little absent-minded, the teacup was put to her mouth, and her eyes were staring at the tea in a daze. Even Wu Zhi walked in without noticing.

"What do you think?" Wu Zhi smiled and walked over and sat down.

Jin Zhi said "ah", the teacup in his hand shook, and the tea overflowed. Splashed on her pale blue dress, Jin Zhi placed the teacup on the table. Shook the long skirt a few times, turned his head to Wu Zhi and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" ”

Wu Zhi nodded: "Ennanguo still has a lot of things to deal with. ”

Jin Zhi looked at Wu Zhi's face and whispered, "Remember when I told you about the last bet?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "I don't remember what this bet is?" Don't gamble with your life anymore! ”

Jin Zhi smiled: "You said that some bets can be used once. ”

Wu Zhi remembered the situation in Jiangnan and smiled: "Or how many times does it matter?" ”

Jin Zhi smiled and shook his head, looking at Wu Zhi, there was a little more naughty in his eyes: "This bet may be more precious than my little life?" ”

Wu Zhi was stunned: "More important than your life?" ”

Jin Zhi nodded slightly, wanting to speak, and seemed to be a little flustered. Bow your head and say nothing.

Wu Zhi looked at her and said, "How can you say that we are also friends, say it, maybe I can help you?" Listening to Jin Zhi's words, Wu Zhi thought that the Fang family was in trouble, and it was reasonable that he should also pull it along.

Jin Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a while. Only then did he whisper: "This time the bet is ...... It's ......"

Wu Zhi smiled: "What is it?" Afraid of what? Say it louder! I can't even hear what you're saying! “

Jin Zhi suddenly raised his head. Meimu looked directly at Wu Zhi: "It's you!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "What is me? The smile froze as he looked at Jin Zhi.

Jin Zhi took out a piece of silk paper from the bag and handed it to Wu Zhi. Then he silently looked at Wu Zhi silently.

Wu Zhi took it and looked at it a few times, his face couldn't help but be embarrassed, he looked up at Jin Zhi for a while, and he didn't know what to say, the silk paper was copied, the book of the Liao Empire was written by the Liao Emperor to the Song Emperor Zhao Jidi, there was nothing in front of it, but some high-sounding words praising the relationship between the two countries, but the last paragraph made Wu Zhi dumbfounded.

This passage says that the Great Song Dynasty is wise and loving, has the style of an ancient gentleman, and the Liao Emperor is very happy to marry his daughter Princess Shaoyang for the Song and Liao Dynasty for a hundred years of harmony, and the Liao Emperor marries his daughter Princess Shaoyang, because he knows that the noble king has a concubine, benevolent and virtuous, and Shaoyang can be established as a concubine, and hopes that the Great Song Emperor will be favored.

Seeing that Wu Zhi was speechless, Jin Zhi was slightly scared, and hurriedly explained: "Concubine Liping is the idea of the Holy Land, because I am the princess of Da Liao, if I am the side concubine of the family, I will inevitably lose the face of Da Liao, but I don't want to compete with Sister Jin Lian for favor......" Speaking of this, Jin Zhi's face was already red with shame, but he still mustered up the courage to continue, but he couldn't help but stammer: "I ...... I...... I will do my duty as a concubine...... No...... I won't upset my sisters......" The more Jin Zhi's face turned redder, and when he said it, Jin Zhi was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.

After a long while, Jin Zhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, raised his head pitifully, looked at Wu Zhi pitifully, and waited for Wu Zhi to reply, his uneasy expression was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered waiting for Wu Zhi to fall.

Wu Zhi also knew that Jin Zhi seemed to have a good impression of him, but he never thought that she would make such a hand, looking at Jin Zhi with a wry smile, did she have such a great charm? How do you feel that these women moths are throwing themselves on themselves like moths to fire?

"Are you angry?" Jin Zhi asked cautiously.

Wu Zhi shook his head, maybe a man wouldn't be angry at this time. "I'm not angry, but Jin Zhi, do you know? The point of the question is not whether you are a flat concubine or a side concubine, but ...... It's that I'm not mentally prepared for it...... Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh dumbly after holding back this sentence, how is it like the lines of a girl in a soap opera in later generations who refused to show her love to a man?

Jin Zhi saw that Wu Zhi was not angry, nor did he refuse directly, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Be prepared, this time the Holy Lord will send a messenger to accompany you, and then count the exchanges to marry, why will it take a few months, why are you not prepared?" Although he talked about his marriage, his face was still flushed. But the words have become fluent.

Wu Zhi looked at the silk paper in his hand helplessly, don't say that he can't bear to be angry, even if he refuses, what if he is angry? I can't kill the Liao envoy halfway, and the letter of state is in the hands of Zhao Ji, with his temperament, he always doesn't forget to count his concubines in his letters, there are too few concubines, there is this God-given opportunity, if he doesn't agree, it is a strange thing.

"Jin Zhi, the preparation I said is not the preparation you said, it is a state of mind, do you understand? Can you go and persuade Emperor Liao. Allow me to ...... for a while," Woo-sik and Kim Ji explained, not knowing what he was talking about or how to deal with it. I just want to put things off for myself to think about.

Jin Zhi shook his head firmly. "You told me before that as long as you bet on the chips, don't get them back, have faith in yourself, believe that you are the winner in the end......"

Wu Zhi couldn't imagine that the gambling method he had told her before was used by her, looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, he was speechless for a long time, and then said, "Do you think you have won?" ”

Jin Zhi shook his head and said, "You said that there is no such thing as a guaranteed gamble!" She gradually regained her naturalness and smiled again: "Do you know why I said that the bet was you?" ”

"Although I am in Liao, I am separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. But you will occasionally think of me, but I am forcing you like this today, I am afraid that when the time comes, people will be closer to you, but the heart will be farther apart, but I will not regret it! Even if you really ignore me at that time, I don't complain, this is fate? Isn't it? Speaking of this, Jin Zhi smiled miserably. seems to think of his own tragic end.

After being silent for a while, Jin Zhi said again: "The gamble has begun." No matter how it ends, I won't regret it! He stood up. Walk slowly outward.

Wu Zhi silently looked at her slightly lonely back, and then looked at the silk paper in his hand, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, so he only sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Wu Zhi and the officials walked out of the Eguan, Xiao Fengxian had already waited for a long time, walked up with a smile and said, "Your King Shengsage ordered me to send you out of Beijing. ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "There is Brother Lao." Looking at the officials who saw them off, there was no Jin Zhi, strangely Xiao Qianqian was nowhere to be seen, although her uncle's first impression on her was extremely bad, but in the future, the two got along well, why didn't her uncle leave and her niece didn't come to send it.

Xiao Fengxian saw him, looked around, and said with a smile: "The little girl was supposed to come, but when Princess Shaoyang arrived at the house, it seemed that she had something secret with the little girl, and my brother didn't want to ask much." ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "It's okay, there will be a goodbye day in the future." ”

Xiao Fengxian laughed: "Yes, in the future, my brother will be my fast son-in-law, and our brothers will be close for more time in the future!" Haha......"

Wu Zhi heard Xiao Fengxian say "my dynasty's fast son-in-law", his heart moved, maybe this time he and Emperor Liao also had the intention of provoking the relationship between himself and Zhao Ji, he should be careful, don't worry about his way.

Xiao Fengxian laughed a few times and said, "Speaking of which, brother should thank me, this big matchmaker?" ”

Wu Zhiqi said: "What big media? ”

Xiao Fengxian said: "Brother still doesn't know? Speaking of His Royal Highness, Simu Guiwang, the city has also been boiling in the past few days, but it is all those gentlemen who chew their tongues at all, and my brother doesn't pay much attention to it, but I didn't expect Qianqian to say the same thing, and begged me to go to the saint to go forward, hehe, I'm not a big media for brothers, so who can afford it? ”

Wu Zhi suddenly realized that although Fang La didn't care about Jin Zhi's marriage, he would not take the initiative to tell Emperor Liao about marrying his daughter to himself, Jin Zhi used a roundabout strategy to make Xiao Qianqian say that the king of Lanling County came forward to think about it, and afterwards Emperor Liao asked Jin Zhi and Jin Zhi agreed, so the matter was settled, Jin Zhi was sincere to himself, and Emperor Liao and Xiao Fengxian may not be so kind.

"Thank you, big brother, when the time comes, my big brother will prepare a generous gift for me! It would be best if you could come to Nanguo and have a few drinks with your brother! Wu Zhi only smiled and Xiao Feng Xianxu and the pseudo-snake.

Xiao Fengxian smiled: "It must be." ”

At this time, Wu Zhi beckoned, Xiao Guang hurriedly ran to meet, and kowtowed to Xiao Fengxian and said, "The villain has seen the king of the county." ”

Xiao Fengxian was stunned: "This is?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "Didn't my niece tell you?" He was originally from the eldest brother's mansion, and was asked to come, these days seeing that he is still smart, my brother wants to take him back to the southern country, of course I have to ask the eldest brother. ”

Xiao Fengxian didn't care about a subordinate nodded and said, "Brother likes to take it." ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "Thank you, big brother." ”

Xiao Guang got up and was full of joy, your king's generous hand is really a good master, not to mention his distant relative Xiao Steward didn't know how to drown after drinking, he had no backer in Xiao Mansion, even if he went back, there was no old scenery, and it was a good way to go to the south with your king.
