Chapter 001: I'm Going to Goryeo

At the dinner table, Wu Zhi yawned for a long time, Qiqiao was in Wu Zhi's arms, but he refused to come down, Jin Lian smiled and instructed Gong E to serve a meal for the two, "Today is the day when Xianggong accompanies his sister back to the door, and the gift is ready......"

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to pull the Qiqiao down: "Old practical rice!" ”

Qiqiao pouted, reluctantly sat aside, and after a while, he secretly rubbed into Jin Lian's arms, Jin Lian smiled and hugged her, and Qiqiao made a smug face at Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi didn't pay attention to her, but sighed in his heart, the elf's weird tangram won't become a nymphomaniac, right?

The Ye family's courtyard is not big, and the cleaning is unusually clean, and a few weeping willows in the courtyard bloom green buds, adding a bit of spring.

Ye Yuanwai smiled and welcomed the baby son-in-law and baby daughter into the living room, and ordered the subordinates to serve tea.

In front of the old man, Qiqiao did not shy away from taboos, picked up a small snack and had to feed Wu Zhi to eat, Wu Zhi glared at her, ignored her, Qiqiao just didn't follow, in desperation, Wu Zhi had to obediently open his mouth and swallow the "sweetest" tea that Qiqiao said.

Although Ye Yuanwai looked funny, seeing that the two of them were so good that they were smeared with oil in honey, they were also comforted and smiled.

"Lord Taishan, why don't you see your two uncles?" After Qiqiao entered the back hall to visit his mother, Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yuanwai was originally smiling, but when he heard Wu Zhi mention the two young masters, he immediately smiled and frowned, "Alas...... These two are not good...... Don't mention it! ”

I have the impression that the two brothers are not bad, they are very honest. How could it provoke Ye Yuanwai with a look of deep hatred. But seeing that Ye Yuanwai was reluctant to say, he didn't ask questions, and changed the topic: "How is Lord Taishan lately?" ”

Ye Yuanwai laughed and said, "It's not a blessing from the prince." These days, the old man is very tight. "Since Ye Yuanwai arrived in the capital, there has been an endless stream of officials from all walks of life who have come to visit. Needless to say, those officials who had been gradually estranged from each other also flocked to visit him, and many well-informed officials rushed to join in the fun.

During the chat, there was a burst of laughter and arguments outside. Shoucheng and Shoushi's voice, Ye Yuanwai frowned, and said to Wu Zhi: "Wait a minute, the old man will go out and have a look." ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "I'll also see what the hell the two uncles are doing!" ”

When Shoucheng and Shoushi saw their father and the king walking out of the living room at the same time, they hurriedly closed their voices and came over to greet the two.

Ye Yuanwai snorted coldly: "What did you do again?" ”

The two didn't dare to deceive the old man, so they honestly bowed their heads and replied: "I've gone to the gambling house......"

Wu Zhi almost died of laughter next to him, these two guys are so interesting.

With Wu Zhi by his side, Ye Yuan was not angry, and glared at the two of them: "Don't go back to the room yet!" Shame on you here! ”

The two brothers resigned.

Wu Zhi shook his head and sighed again and again when he saw Ye Yuan outside. smiled: "I'm going to talk to the two uncles, I'm too busy these days, and I haven't had a deep talk with the two uncles." ”

Although Ye Yuanwai felt that his two sons were really embarrassed to himself, but when the king went to get close to the two of them, he couldn't ask for it, so naturally he didn't have the mouth to agree.

"The two uncles have good skills, huh?"

Shoucheng and Shoushi were throwing dice, and Wu Zhi didn't know it for a long time when he entered the house, so he watched from the back for a while. Not to mention, these two people have good skills, and they have a fight with ordinary old gamblers.

Only then did Shoucheng and Shoushi find Wu Zhi standing behind them, and hurriedly collected the gambling equipment and brought a chair for the king.

After Wu Zhi sat down, he said with a smile: "The two brothers often go to the gambling house? ”

Shoucheng smiled awkwardly: "There are eight days out of ten days to go and play." ”

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, he didn't blame Ye Yuanwai for his troubles, it turned out that the two brothers of Qiqiao turned out to be rotten gamblers, "rotten gamblers". A lazy figure suddenly flashed in Wu Zhi's mind, and he shook his head slightly, "Why are the two brothers arguing?" ”

Shoucheng and Shoushi looked at each other and didn't say anything.

Wu Zhi smiled: "Have the two brothers been to the gambling house in the capital?" Some of the new tricks are very interesting! When the younger brother has nothing to do, he also likes to play a few games. ”

Shoucheng and Shoushi heard that Wu Zhi also went to the gambling house, and immediately became excited. Shoucheng said with a smile: "The gambling house in the capital is indeed much more fun than Jiangnan, my brother has just come back from the 'Outer Heaven Gambling Workshop', the gameplay here is so fresh, just now the two of us are talking about the 'Golden Flower' inside, the second brother is reckless, and he was won dozens of silver coins. ”

Shoushi said unconvinced: "How reckless am I, you also saw it, that kid began to scream fiercely, every time the points were very small, but he scared people away, who knew that he would end up with a big one." ”

Wu Zhi smiled in his heart, it turned out that he went to his own gambling house, Lu Cheng has done a good job these days, "Outside the Sky" has become the most popular gambling house in the capital, as for the "Golden Flower", it is natural that Wu Zhi modified the gameplay of the later generations of "Zha Jinhua", and made cards, the name of "Golden Flower Cards", but it is just a change of people's playing cards.

Nowadays, the "Golden Flower Card" is popular in Beijing, and it seems that it has also developed a lot of gameplay, and has become a must-have for the leisure of the upper class in Beijing. But Wu Zhi, the initiator, couldn't think of it.

"Two brothers, when it comes to 'Golden Flower', it doesn't all depend on the size of the card, and skill is also very important!" Wu Zhi explained with a smile.

The two brothers were a little unconvinced, and said in their hearts that 'Golden Flower' doesn't rely on points, so what does it rely on? As long as the hand is extremely high, it will naturally win. muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, after all, although the person in front of him was the sister-in-law of the two, in fact, who really dared to treat him as a sister-in-law?

Wu Zhi naturally saw the dissatisfaction of the two, and said with a smile: "If the two brothers don't believe it, they can make a bet with me!" ”

The eldest Shoucheng didn't even dare to say that the second Shoushi was younger, unlike his brother Lao Cheng, and went to the cabinet to take out a pair of chic 'Golden Flower Cards', and Shoucheng here gave him a look, Shoushi hesitated, Wu Zhi had already taken the card, "There is no identity in the casino." Today, our brothers and sisters will be happy and happy! ”

Shou prejudice Wu Zhi insisted, and seemed to be gambling on the look. It's not good to sweep his sex, and his brother agreed, sat down at the next head, and the three of them surrounded the desk to gamble.

The Golden Flower brand is colorful and looks very beautiful. The card is painted with the legendary gods, lifelike, and the points are also divided into four colors and thirteen points, which is similar to later generations. In this era, it is not easy to make a deck of cards, because the price is quite expensive, and even the middle and upper class families cannot afford to buy land.

At the beginning of the gambling game, the two brothers were still a little restrained, and after a while, the gambling was in full swing, and they had already put aside Wu Zhi's identity and made a loud noise. Wu Zhi just smiled.

This bet down, Shoucheng and Shou Shi were confused by Wu Zhi, as if their own cards can be seen through by Wu Zhi, especially if the two have a natural card such as a leopard with a flush, Wu Zhi has never followed, the only time to call is Wu Zhi with a leopard to eat a solid flush, half a day down, the brothers spent a few months with Wu Zhi to win a fine light.

Shoucheng and Shoushi were dumbfounded. Conservative and dumbfounded: "Didn't my brother-in-law open the 'eye of heaven'?" Why do you know that my two hands are average? If I didn't dare to call Wu Zhi "brother-in-law" before, today's bet has shortened the distance between the three of them, and I called out "brother-in-law" by the way.

Wu Zhi pushed back the pile of silver in front of him to the two, and said with a smile: "How can there be any eyes, I said a long time ago, skill is the most important, you two are too impetuous, although you try your best to hide it." But my eyes clearly tell me what the value of the cards in my hand is, so how can I not lose? ”

Shoucheng and Shoushi were silent, and Wu Zhi continued: "If the two brothers go on like this, they will definitely lose nine out of ten bets, and this kind of gambling method in the capital is really not suitable for the two brothers." It's better to go back to Jiangnan and throw dice......" The tone was slightly contemptuous when he spoke.

Shoucheng and Shou Shi are red-eared, although the two of them are squirrel, the comment of the word "smart" has been hanging on the heads of the two since childhood, they think they are handsome, and they don't care about the scolding of their father, both of them are general thoughts, not that we can't do it, and how many people are our opponents in Jiangnan Casino? I really have no interest in business, and if I inherit the family business in the future, I will carry forward the Ye family, and I will scold and scold my father, and the two of them should play or play. Ye Yuan deducted the two of them for spending, and the two of them didn't care, the money won from gambling every month was enough for expenses such as drinking flower wine.

Today, the two of them gambled the most proudly, but they were laughed at by Wu Zhi, how could the two not be ashamed, bowed their heads and remained silent.

Wu Zhi said indifferently: "Gambling is ever-changing, with one mind, and the truth in the shopping mall and even the officialdom is the same, if you can't grasp the opponent's mind, you will lose without ......"

Shoucheng looked up and said, "How to grasp the opponent's mind?" ”

Wu Zhi secretly said that this son can be taught, "A lot of experience, a lot of contact with all kinds of characters......" suddenly quipped: "I'm afraid there is nothing to teach the two brothers in Jiangnan Gambling House......"

Shoucheng and Shoushi didn't smile, just nodded silently......

Wu Zhi walked out of the room of the two and smiled bitterly, he didn't think that he also had a time to educate others, alas......

After having a luncheon in the Ye family's courtyard, sitting for a while, Wu Zhi and Qiqiao got up to say goodbye, and sat in the carriage, Qiqiao was tired of Wu Zhi's arms, and Wu Zhi pasted the two big words "nymphomaniac" on her head, there was no way but to let it go.

Stepping into the backyard of the palace, Qiqiao saw that there was no one left and right, and snuggled into Wu Zhi's arms with a smile, Wu Zhi had no choice but to walk on her shoulders, but walked with later couples.

The grass and trees in the backyard are all tender and green, and the two of them walk on the pebble path, one is purple-clothed and jade-crowned, and the other is fluttering, with a sweet smile, but there is also a bit of the appearance of a fairy couple.

After walking a few steps, Jin Lian hurriedly greeted her, her face was very ugly, and Zhu'er who followed her also had a look of concern.

Wu Zhi was taken aback: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Qiqiao let go of Wu Zhi, grabbed Jin Lian's hand and asked, "What's wrong with the eldest sister?" Could it be that you can't be bullied? Who is so bold? Tangram to teach him a lesson! ”

Jin Lian shook her head and handed over a piece of letterhead, "Xuanjing's letter......"

Qiqiao took it and said in his mouth: "Sister Xuanjing's letter? Let me see, is Sister Xuanjing coming back late? Alas...... No wonder the eldest sister is sad......"

Wu Zhi gestured to Jin Lian with his eyes, what did he mean? Jin Lian pointed to the letterhead in Qiqiao's hand and sighed.

Qiqiao didn't look at a few lines, and suddenly shouted: "What? Outrageous?! I'm! ......" stamped his feet there, screaming and shouting.

Wu Zhi didn't know what was going on, and he was upset by her. Reaching out and snatching the letter, "Let's be honest for a while." You! ”

Qiqiao was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red, his mouth was pursed, and he slowly left tears.

Wu Zhi thought that she was fierce when he scolded her, and he felt strange in his heart. She's not so thin-skinned on weekdays, right? Fang wanted to comfort a few words, but saw Qiqiao fall into Jin Lian's arms, and said while crying: "I don't want Sister Xuanjing to marry!" I don't want it! ......" Jin Lian hugged her and whispered comfort.

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked down at the letter, Xuan Jing's Chinese writing is not much stronger than Wu Zhi's, but the strokes are graceful, much more durable than Wu Zhi's brush characters.

This is written by Xuan Jing to the four people, and due to time constraints, only less than 100 words were written. Yan said that after he returned to Goryeo, he learned that he was engaged to the third highness of Goryeo, and he did not obey, and he was locked up by the head of the Li family, even his father was not allowed to see him. This letter was written secretly, and it was bought to send it to the next person, and I don't know if it can be sent to Wu Zhi and others, but it is just written as a comfort. Looking at the date of payment, it was a matter of years ago.

Wu Zhi knows a little about the Li family. Xuan Jing and his father, grandfather's line belong to the entire branch of the huge Li family, doing business for the Li family, to put it bluntly, it is a money-making tool, and it is a white eye on weekdays, because Xuan Jing has only stayed in the Great Song Dynasty for a few years, and he is not willing to return to Goryeo at all. I can't imagine that this kind of thing will happen to Goryeo? Wu Zhi felt a burst of anger in his heart.

Turning his head and asking Jin Lian, "The letter was delivered today?" ”

Jin Lian nodded: "It was sent by the loyal servant of the Li family?" The old man is said to have grown up watching Xuanjing. ”

Qiqiao suddenly stopped crying and said hatefully: "I'm going to save Sister Xuanjing." Teach the Li family's old immortals a good lesson! "To break free from the embrace of the golden lotus, you have to go to the outside.

Wu Zhi didn't stop her, he glanced at Jin Lian and said, "Take me to see the old man in the place where the letter was delivered!" ”

Qiqiao walked a few steps, and saw Wu Zhi Jinlian and Zhu'er walking towards the apse instead. Biting his lip and thinking for a moment, he turned and followed.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you ignore people?" After catching up with the three of them, Qiqiao snorted angrily.

"What do you do? Is it holding you and begging you not to go? Or go crazy with you? Wu Zhi walked as he walked. Besides, how can you be so clever and don't know what's at stake? ”

Qiqiao was slightly calmed down by Wu Zhi's "little pony", and said softly: "It's not Qiqiao's impulsiveness, it's really angry that the old immortals of the Li family can't die!" I don't know what happened to Sister Xuanjing? ......" paused, looked up and asked, "Brother-in-law, will you go to Goryeo?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "What do you say? ”

Qiqiao nodded, no longer spoke, but remembered Xuan Jing's situation, and the circles under her eyes gradually turned red again.

In the apse chamber.

Li An looked at the noble king Chitose in front of him with some fear, and his heart was full of chaos.

Li An is in his fifties, he was sold into the Li family as a slave since he was a child, and he has been by the side of Xuan Jing's father Li Cheng for decades, watching Xuan Jing grow up, Li An has no relatives, in his heart, Xuan Jing is the same as his daughter.

The head of the Li family, whom Xuan Jing had bribed, sent the letter to Li An, and Li An did not discuss it with the master for the first time, but only said that he wanted to come to the Great Song Dynasty to buy things, and boarded the fleet that came to the Great Song Dynasty. Xuan Jing naturally couldn't tell the bribed subordinates that there was a great Song Guiwang among the recipients, and only said that they would send it to the Ye family in Jiangnan. If it is said that it is sent to the Great Song Guiwang's Mansion, I am afraid that this person will not dare to pass on the letter if he says anything, after all, the stakes are too big.

Li An only knew that he had to send the letter to the Ye family in Jiangnan and hand it over to Miss Ye Jiasan, although he didn't know what Miss Ye Jiasan could do to help Xuan Jing, but since it was Miss Xuan Jing's wish, he had to help her complete it. After running all the way at sea, he finally arrived at the Ye family, who knew that the third lady was in the capital, and she was about to marry into your palace.

The Ye family's subordinates were enthusiastic to send Li An to the Ye family's courtyard in the capital to see Ye Yuanwai. Li An declined, the letter was sent to Miss Ye Jiasan, and Ye Yuanwai couldn't be asked to see him, Ye Yuanwai had a good relationship with the master, who knew what the reaction would be when he saw it.

Li An has been with Li Cheng all the year round, naturally proficient in Chinese, and spent money in Quanzhou to hire a guide, the guide heard that he was going to the prince's mansion, this excitement, along the way to tell him about the deeds of the king, Li An listened to the more surprised he was, this king is so capable? The fact that the third prince of Goryeo had one of his hands cut off by the Great Song Guiwang was considered a great shame and was kept secret. Ang Lee naturally wouldn't know, if he knew, wouldn't he be scared to death?

When I arrived in front of your palace, I saw the grandeur of your palace. That majesty, Li An couldn't help but retreat. It was the guide who pushed him to the door from behind.

Nervously reported that he was the messenger of Miss Xuanjing of the Li family of Goryeo, and before he could say that he had sent a letter to Miss Ye Jiasan, the current princess, those guards smiled happily and welcomed him into the palace enthusiastically. Of course, necessary checks are inevitable. But this excessive enthusiasm still surprised Li An, why is Miss Xuan Jing very familiar with your palace?

Waiting for the princess to meet in person, and the third sister inquired about Miss Xuan Jing's news one by one, Li An was completely dumbfounded, how could he not have imagined that the Li family, who had suffered a lot of white eyes in the family, was prosperous in the Great Song Dynasty, and Miss Xuan Jing and the prince and princess who were the most popular in the Great Song Dynasty turned out to be sworn sisters.

Now that he has been summoned by the king again, listening to this high-ranking young nobleman and an old man, Li An's eyes are moist, and he feels that Miss Xuan Jing has not made the wrong friends, what is the identity of the person? I can be a subordinate to myself. And it's such a pleasant face from an underground person in a small overseas country, so doesn't it look at Miss Xuanjing's face?

I don't know if this young prince has a way to help Miss, there should be a way, right?

When I was in Goryeo, I heard that the Song Dynasty and the Liao State fought fiercely, and the result turned out to be a great victory for the Song Dynasty and the Liao State sued for peace, which was a major event that shook Goryeo, and among the countries of Middle-earth, the Liao State has always regarded itself as the first power. Who would have thought that he would be trampled on and obediently run to sue for peace, which also made Goryeo have to re-examine the relationship with the Liao and Song dynasties.

I am a subordinate, of course I don't know the details of the battle between Liao and Song, I can't imagine that the commander who defeated the Liao State this time is the powerful young prince in front of him, he can defeat the Liao State, can't he help his own young lady? Li An was inexplicably full of confidence in Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi asked Li Ang what he said, and pondered......

"Uncle go and rest for a while, let's leave for Goryeo later!" Wu Zhi's words broke the silence in the hall.

Although Li An felt that the king should help his own young lady. Or was Wu Zhi's words, "Today...... Tonight? We...... We? Li An couldn't believe his ears and stammered.

Wu Zhi nodded: "There is no time to delay, I will enter the palace to face the saint in a while and ask to send an envoy to Goryeo." The old man can go with me, but when I arrive in Goryeo, I have to be wronged that the old man is mixed with my team, and he can't be discovered by others, and if the old man can't do it, he doesn't have to go with me. ”

Li An nodded again and again, "If you can do it, the villain can naturally do it...... It's just that your king is Chitose, can Goryeo really say that he can go if he goes? Can you get off tonight? ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "What? Unbelief? Hehe, let's go and rest first, it's estimated that we will leave in a few hours! ”

Li An said goodbye and withdrew, sighing again and again in his heart, your king is unusual, he does things neatly and neatly, and he will never drag mud and water. The most terrifying thing is that people seem to take national affairs as inappropriate, and the envoy to Goryeo is actually to help a friend, and the words are like a certainty, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is so fond of him? He wanted to make it to Goryeo? Li An sighed and retreated.

The Imperial Study.

Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi with a smile: "What is the big thing that caused the second brother to come in a hurry as the newlywed Yan'er?" Isn't the side concubine designated for you by the widow unsatisfactory? It was rare for Wu Zhi to take the initiative to ask to see Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji immediately received him, and he was happy in his heart and began to make fun of Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled: "The younger brother is here to ask for an order to envoy Goryeo!" ”

Zhao Ji was stunned: "How could the second brother have such an idea?" ”

Wu Zhi said: "The younger brother hurt the third prince of Goryeo, which made the relationship between the two countries bad, and the guilt is in the heart, like a fish in the throat, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and it is best for the younger brother to repair the relationship between the two countries!" ”

Zhao Ji slowly leaned back on the dragon chair and looked at Wu Zhi with a smile.

Wu Zhi looked furious and scratched his head: "I can't hide anything from the imperial brother, the younger brother is going to Goryeo to meet a friend, and by the way, I will help her do something!" ”

Zhao Ji laughed: "I know that your kid is not so righteous and awe-inspiring, what guilt is in his heart, like a fish in his throat, hehe, the widow and the teacher know that your temperament is tight!" ”

Wu Zhi laughed a few times: "Brother Huang agreed?" "Seeing Zhao Ji's smile comfortably, borrowing a pole to go up the tree is a good opportunity.

Zhao Ji put away his smile and shook his head slowly: "No!" ”

Wu Zhi was surprised: "Why? ”

Zhao Ji glared: "Do you still need to explain to you?" ”

Wu Zhi said with a bitter face: "The imperial brother is full of words, and he doesn't need to explain to his ministers......"

Zhao Ji saw him pretending to be pitiful, and shook his head funny: "Second brother, you can't leave at this time, let's tell you the truth, the position of the privy deputy envoy will be vacant in a few days, and it will naturally be you at that time, if you leave Beijing at this time, there will be a lot of variables here!" ”

Wu Zhi listened to Zhao Ji and himself unabashedly, and was slightly moved, but Gao Li himself had to go, and sighed, "The minister's brother's friend is in great trouble, and the minister must go to ......"
