Parting is always sad, for Song Xing's departure, Wanyan Wulu did not come to see her off for the first time, because she didn't want Song Xing to see her crying. lā

Different from the heaviness when he came, the mood of returning was pleasant, especially as Ma Zheng, the main envoy this time, although he couldn't get back to the few elementary schools that were taken hostage at the beginning, but the happiness was still written between his eyebrows.

Holding the heavy national letter in his hand, Ma Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Song, if you hadn't taken precautions and had a plan, we wouldn't have achieved today's success. ”

Song Xing smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter to Song Xing whether you ask for credit or not, the important thing is that since you want to join forces with Jin to fight against Liao, you must actively prepare for war, you must know that after the destruction of Liao, we will face a Jin State that is more powerful than Liao." ”

Ma Zheng's expression looked a little dignified, the Western Army he served in could be regarded as the elite of the Song Army, and in the face of the weaker Western Xia, it was also a mixed victory, and he really couldn't imagine whether the future road was as Song Xing was worried about.

A group of people with their own thoughts, walking seven days of dry road, eight days of waterway, the small wooden boat finally in the sunset under the reflection, rickety docked in the knife fish village, they were greeted by the prefect of Dengzhou.

Since Song Xing and they left Dengzhou, he has been looking forward to it every day in the knife fish village, and the wind and sand in late autumn have blown his hair white, which is obviously much older than a month ago.

Since returning from Yandi, the emperor has surprisingly trusted him, placed him on the front line of negotiations, and has always been trembling, walking on thin ice, and today he can finally put down the boulder in his heart and give the emperor a sigh of relief.

The place of receiving the wind is in Penglai Pavilion, there are not only mountain delicacies to eat, but also seafood, and the drink is naturally the unique high wine of Tian Hengshan, during the banquet, Wang Shizhong praised Ma Zheng and others at the same time, but also revealed to them a shocking news.

Soon after they left, the Manichaean leader Fang La gathered a crowd to rebel, and in just one month, he swept across the south of the Yangtze River, capturing 52 counties in six states.

Hearing this rumor, Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo couldn't help but look at each other, they were originally from the Western Army, and they had accompanied Tong Guan to conquer the Western Xia, and now Tong Guan went to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion and recruit the soldiers of the Western Army, so he naturally had to report for duty.

Song Xing was idle in the army, and it was up to him to choose whether to go or not, as the chief envoy of this negotiation, escorting the credentials of the state, and presenting the matter to the saint, which should have been done by Ma Zheng himself, but the military situation was urgent, so he had to hand it over to the deputy envoy Wang Huan.

Wang Shizhong expressed his special gratitude to Ma Zheng's Gao Feng Liang Festival, after all, the emperor lives in the deep palace, and even the big men in the field are not seen by anyone who wants to, this is an opportunity for Wang Huan, an excellent opportunity.

Although it was Song Xing who played a leading role in this negotiation, at the reception banquet, except for Ma Zheng's symbolic words of fairness, neither Wang Shizhong nor Wang Huan kept their mouths shut, in their eyes, Song Xing was his entourage.

It was already very late when he came out of Penglai Pavilion, and it was even later when he returned to Tian Hengshan, Huzi was not convinced all the way, kept shaking his golden hammer, and said angrily: "Brother, if it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have smashed that Lord Wang into a meatloaf with a hammer!" ”

Song Xing smiled, reached out and touched the back of his head, but did not speak, these years, he has seen a lot of things to fight for, if he cares about everything, even if there are more Foxconn, it is not enough to jump.

Under the leadership of Uncle Tian, the villagers of Tianhengshan all held torches and stood at the cottage gate to welcome the return of the heroes.

Tian Niu saw Song Xing's figure from a distance, flying over like a swallow, and as soon as she called her brother, she couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears flowed down her eyes.

Song Xing reached out and stroked the back of her head, and said with a smile: "What a stupid girl, isn't my brother coming back?" What are you crying about? ”

Tian Niu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and just wanted to say a few words, Uncle Tian had already come to Song Xing with a wine bowl, "Baby, drink the wine in Uncle Tian's hands, let's go into the village?" ”

Song Xing was not polite, took the wine bowl and drank it all, looked back at Yang Zaixing and them, and said excitedly: "Our Tian Hengshan's wine is still delicious, what are you polite?" Come and drink! ”

Before Song Xing's words were finished, Yang Zaixing, Zhang Yi and others had already taken the wine bowl from the hands of the villagers, and drank there with a lot of water, Uncle Tian watched this scene happily, and a trace of tears gradually appeared in the corners of his eyes.

After running around for days, although everyone felt very tired, returning to Tianhengshan was like returning home, and everyone was not sleepy.

Song Xing looked at the clean thatched shed, knowing that this was Tian Niu carefully maintaining this home in his absence, and his heart was also quite moved.

The neighbors were reluctant to disperse, and Uncle Tian didn't plan to go back, but asked Tian Chengguang to fry a few side dishes, and he was going to drink with the baby tonight, and it was best not to get drunk and not return.

Tian Hengshan has been silent for thousands of years since Tian Hengshan, and now he is about to have a character, no wonder Uncle Tian is excited, and he pushed the cup with Song Xing, and drank so much that he burst into tears.

Song Xing saw that the wine was almost drunk, so he said to Uncle Tian: "Uncle, I can't hide it, Song Xing went to Jin Country this time, and what he talked about was to join Jin to resist Liao and seize the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

"What? Going to war? Uncle Tian put down his wine glass and looked at Song Xing puzzledly, since the Great Song Dynasty had formed an alliance with Yuanyuan, it had been a hundred years since Song Liao had withdrawn his troops, and there was almost no concept of war in their minds.

Song Xing's expression was very solemn, he couldn't see a smile on his face, and sighed slightly: "That's right, Lianjin resisted Liao, only satisfied the ambitions of some people, but it was the people of the world who suffered. ”

"Since you don't agree with Lianjin to fight Liao, why do you want to go to Jin with them? And Uncle listened to them, the reason why this negotiation was successful this time was that you played a key role in it. ”

As the patriarch of Tian Hengshan, Uncle Tian's brain is not stupid, and he really can't figure out Song Xing's behavior like Mao Dun.

A bitter smile hung on the corner of Song Xing's mouth, and he said slowly: "Lianjin to resist Liao, that is a national policy, with or without me Song Xing, this covenant can be concluded, instead of being a bystander and pointing out the country on the side, it is better to plunge into the torrent to hit the water." ”

Although Uncle Tian didn't understand the idea of Mao Dun in Song Xing's heart, he knew that what Song Xing did must have his purpose.

He took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Baby, if you have anything to do with the uncle, just say it, as long as the uncle can do it, he will always do it for you." ”

Song Xing nodded, and said what he thought in his heart, "Uncle, in a few days, I will go to Bianliang, Tokyo with Brother Yang and them, and I won't be able to return to Tianhengshan in a short time. ”
