Opening the Xizhou trade route is not a simple matter.

And this is not Yuyin's business alone, but also involves Li Dayin and Liu Qing, two big businessmen. So, things are complicated and must be sorted out little by little. Under the introduction of Yu Yin, Ren Yan and Liu Qing met in the Mutuogang Military Village......

Don't look at Ren Resentment, he is now a man in the army, but he has lived in Taiyuan with his husband since he was a child, and he is also very proficient in business.

This is also the main reason why Yu Liyan sent him.

Cooperate with those businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty, even Yuyin is among them, if there is no one who knows how to do it, it will not work.

Ren Yan stayed in Kaifeng for seven days and had more than ten confrontations with Liu Qing, and finally the two sides reached an agreement...... As soon as the agreement was reached, Ren Ren said goodbye to Yuyin. Time was very urgent, and he had to rush back to Xizhou as soon as possible to report, and liaise with the Xixia side to dredge the trade routes so that the goods could flow unimpeded. This also requires all aspects to be addressed, but fortunately, the relationship between Western Liao and Western Xia is very close, so it will not become the most important problem......

The main question is, can Yu Liyan send troops to help?

Yu Yin was apprehensive in his heart, but time could not allow him to continue to hesitate.

At the end of October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jurchen Western Route Army, under the command of the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan, took Pucha Shijianu as the vanguard, broke through the Shuozhou defense line and approached Daizhou. At the same time, the Eastern Route Army, under the leadership of Wanyan Zongwang, attacked Yanshan Mansion.

Yu Yin had no choice but to repeatedly tell him to complain.

And Ren Yan also said that he would try his best to persuade Yelu Yu Liyan to send troops......

Although he was a military attache in Western Liao and was raised by the Liao, in his bones, he was a Han after all.

At the beginning of November of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the first batch of materials was shipped from Hangzhou and sent to Xizhou. At the same time, Liu Qing also escorted the baggage and set off with Ren Yan to Xizhou.

Standing on the Mu Camel Gang, watching the mighty convoy march westward, Yu Yin was in his heart. But it is a hundred turns and a thousand times, and there are thousands of thoughts.

But I don't know, can this Xizhou trade route become a life road for my Great Song Dynasty?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After sending away Ren Resentment. Yu Yin didn't take it easy.

There is nothing to do in the Mutuogang Military Village, and there are Chen Dong, Niu Gao, Dong Xian and Pang Wanchun to take care of it. It's just that at this time, Huang Sheng fell ill, and his condition was extremely serious. To know. Huang Shang is already an old man in his eighties.

At this time in history, he had been retiring in Yihuang, Fuzhou, but now, he stayed in Kaifeng to plan for Yuyin's future.

I'm older. Once you get sick, it can be very serious.

After An Daoquan treated Huang Shang, he also showed embarrassment.

"Xiao Yi, let's make some preparations."

"What does Uncle Ann mean by that?"

An Daoquan smiled bitterly: "My own family is incompetent, but I can't cure the scholars...... The morale and blood of the university have declined, and they are terminally ill, but I am afraid that they will not last long. ”

Huang Shang is old, born and old, sick and dead. Non-human can be recovered.

Yu Yin. Confused!

In his previous life, he had experienced the death of his father, but since he was reborn, it was the first time he faced the departure of his relatives.

Since An Daoquan said this, Yuyin also knew that Huang Shang's condition was irreparable. I couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

You can turn your head. Yu Yin also has to make a relaxed appearance.

It's just that he didn't go to Mu Huogang again, but took Huang Sheng to his home.

Maybe it was something I felt. Huang Shang, who had always refused to move to Yuyin's house before, did not refuse again this time.

Huang Shang I. He had no children.

Now that Yu Yin is his child, how can he refuse Yu Yin's filial piety again.

Every day, Yuyin accompanied Huang Shang at home, either playing the qin or studying the Taoist treasure. Huang Shang believes in Taoism, and the most respected is Zhuangzi. So every day, Yu Yin will recite Nanhua by his side, and his life will be quiet.

At the beginning, Zhao Duofu came to Yu Yin's house once.

However, when she learned that Huang Shang was seriously ill, she didn't bother anymore, but just asked someone to send Ouchi's treasured medicine, which made Yuyin grateful.

"Xiao Yi, if you have a chance one day, I will repay Emperor Roufu."

Huang Sheng told Yu Yin, "Emperor Roufu is innocent, but it's a pity that she was born in the emperor's family." I once divined for her, and found that her life was full of calamities, and her life was miserable. To say, she is the daughter of the emperor, and she should not have such a fate...... I hope that my own family is wrong, but if this is the case, I hope Xiaoyi will keep her safe...... I don't know why, I always feel restless today. ”

The fate of Emperor Roufu seems to be very sad.

For this Ziwei Doushu and the like, Yu Yin is ignorant.

But since Huang Sheng ordered it, he would not refuse...... What's more, Emperor Roufu is really not bad for him.

"Uncle rest assured, Xiao Yi will risk his life, and he will also keep Emperor Roufu safe."

"In this way, it is also a matter of heart."

Huang Shang fell on the couch, his eyes slightly glazed.

Outside the window, it snowed at some point, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Yang Jinlian came in with a brazier, placed it in the corner of the house, and said softly: "Big official, Sister Jiu'er said that it was cold in the house, let me add another brazier." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Yang."

Yu Yin gave up his hand and sent Yang Jinlian out.

Fang sat down, but saw that Huang Sheng was tilting his head, and his face showed doubt.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Huang Sheng sighed and said softly: "I don't know why, I always feel that there is some accident between you and that Yang Niangzi." ”

"Huh?"

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said that.

But I took it for you, and found out that you were destined to have many sons and grandchildren......"

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense, Sister Jiu'er will be unhappy when she hears it."

"Hehe, I've already told Yan Nu about this."

When Yu Yin heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Uncle, aren't you harming my family's disharmony?

"By the way, what is the relationship between you and that Yang Niangzi?"

"Uncle Zu, you think too much, your family and Yang Niangzi are indeed innocent, and they have nothing to do with each other."

"Really?"

"How dare Xiao Yi deceive his uncle...... Well, I'll tell you the truth, Mrs. Yang's husband died at my hands. Under Huang Shang's scorching gaze, Yu Yin really couldn't stand it, so he had to lower his voice and whisper in Huang Shang's ear about Li Guanyu's matter in detail.

Huang Shang's face. Revealing a dignified look.

"So, the thief is plotting against me for a long time?"

"Exactly!"

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and Huang Sheng smiled bitterly: "I think Zhang Zihou said it at the beginning." King Duan is frivolous and cannot be a king. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I see ...... Zhang Zihou has a heroic personality and is resourceful and decisive. It's not that he's too extreme. It won't end up in the end. But what he said was right, King Duan, he really can't be a king. ”

Yu Yin listened quietly on the side, but didn't know how to speak.

With a sigh, he picked up the Nanhua Sutra. Read softly in Huang Shang's ear.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Huang Shang's body is as bad as a day.

And the battle reports coming from the front are even more worrying.

On November 14, the Jurchen Western Route Army broke through Daizhou and forced into Zhongshan, and the news came, which made the people of Kaifeng Prefecture panic.

The Jurchen East Route Army was also overwhelmed, and under the urging of Emperor Huizong repeatedly, Xuanfu made Cai Jing order. Ordered Guo Pharmacist. Zhang Lingzheng and Liu Shun led their troops to fight. The two sides fought a decisive battle at Baihe, and the Song army was finally defeated......

Pharmacist Guo, lose!

Yu Yin sighed and threw the battle report into the brazier.

Ten days have passed since the defeat of Guo Yaoshi, and I don't know the battle situation ahead. What has it become?

Huang Shang's condition became more and more serious, and he was sometimes sober. Sometimes he was unconscious, and his time was running out.

In the days when Huang Shang fell ill. Many people from the DPRK and China came to visit. Among them are Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, and the new imperial historian Chen Guoting and others. In any case, Huang Shang can be regarded as a contemporary celebrity, but now that he is critically ill, Li Gang and others should visit.

It's just that these people didn't give Yu Yin any good looks.

It's no wonder that Yu Yin, Li Gang and others had such a stiff quarrel at the beginning, it would be a strange thing if they had a good face......

However, Yu Yin didn't care about this, even if Li Gang and the others didn't look like they were fake to him, they just smiled slightly and ignored them. Whether you are affectionate to me or cold to me, I have nothing to ask for from you, so why should I care?

Humanity is desireless and rigid, that's it.

After sending Li Gang and the others away, the small courtyard of Guanyin Lane returned to calm.

Yuru had already slept, and Yang Jinlian was upstairs in the room, taking care of her...... Yan Nu sat down beside Yu Yin and said softly, "Brother Xiaoyi, is the situation bad?" ”

"Huh?"

"In the past two days, prices outside have risen wildly, more than three times more than when you came back.

And the number of displaced people from Hebei is also increasing day by day, no matter how you look at it, they all look dilapidated...... When the slave went to the store today, he heard from the third sister-in-law next door that he was going to sell the property in the city. I'm worried that if this continues, something big will happen sooner or later. ”

When Yu Yin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Yan Nu's head, "Don't think nonsense, it's not a big deal." ”

"Brother Xiaoyi, don't lie to the slave.

Slave can see from your look these days that the situation is not very good...... Brother Xiaoyi, what is the situation? I know with the slave, so I should prepare early, don't wait for the matter to come to an end, and then prepare, I'm afraid it's a little late, what do you say? ”

The smile on Yu Yin's face gradually disappeared.

After a long time, he sighed, "To be honest, I don't know the situation now.

I just feel that sooner or later there will be war in Kaifeng City. Prepare for the next few days, and stock up on more food at home. If the war starts, I am afraid that the price of this food will be even higher...... Also, the shop is also closed for the time being, and it is estimated that there will be no business during this time. In addition, let Huo Jian and them be more prepared, so as not to mess up the proportions. ”

Hearing that there would be a war in Kaifeng, Yan Nu's face suddenly turned pale.

"Brother Xiaoyi, will there really be a war?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to run away......"

Yan Nu stopped talking, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly got up.

"Where is Sister Jiu'er going?"

"The slave will go to Lao Gao and ask him to buy more food and come back......"

As he spoke, Yan Nu ran out like a wind, making Yu Yin smile bitterly and shake his head.

Yan Nu is really in a hurry to do this.

Thinking of this, he turned around and prepared to enter the house to visit Huang Shang. But at this moment, I suddenly heard the door of the courtyard being knocked open, and I saw Gao Yaoqing's expression panicked, and he almost staggered into the courtyard, "Xiao Yi, something is wrong!" ”

"Yanai, what are you doing?"

Gao Yaoqing's face was pale, revealing a sense of anger.

"Fang got the news, Yanshan Mansion is lost!"

"Huh?"

"Na Guo Yaoshi rebelled in Yanshan Mansion, arrested Cai Jing and other officials, and surrendered to the thieves in Kaicheng...... Yanshan Mansion, Yanshan Mansion, and the states and counties to which Yanshan Mansion belongs, all fell into the hands of thieves! ”
