Walking into the cabin, my eyes flashed, I was stunned, the little guy in Tsing Yi who stood in the corner of the cabin looked at the figure of Xiao Shunzi, but his appearance has changed a lot, although it is only a slight change in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, but it seems to have become another person, and his temperament has also become mediocre, as if the bright moon is covered by dark clouds, and others will never see that he is one of the innate masters in the world. I know that Xiao Shunzi used internal force to change the muscles on his face and changed his face, although he didn't change much, and he wouldn't even let the boatmen outside notice, but if someone who knew him saw him, they would never recognize him as the evil shadow Li Shun. Why did he do that? After thinking about it, it suddenly dawned in my heart, this kid's reputation in the rivers and lakes is not small, maybe anyone will recognize him, it is too dangerous not to change his appearance, his mind is always much more detailed than mine.

My eyes swept over Xiao Shunzi, but as if I didn't see him, I sat down at the table and asked with a smile, "I haven't asked you how to call you yet?" ”

The cloth-clothed Confucian said apologetically: "In Xia Dongyang Ding Ming, this is the Taoist of our friend Bitter Bamboo." ”

Hearing this, my eyes lit up, I know these two people, bitter bamboo, I have heard Xiao Shunzi mention, this person was originally a secret spy in Nanchu, when Xiao Shunzi chased and killed the evil heart of the poisonous hand for thousands of miles, he once let him go, and then he had no face to stay in Dayong, and disappeared after returning to Nanchu, I didn't expect to see it here today, no wonder Xiao Shunzi is in such a hurry to change his appearance, Xiao Shunzi's appearance has not changed much over the years, I'm afraid this person can recognize him at a glance. As for this Ding Ming, I also know it. There are four firsts in the Jiangnan martial arts, the first killer ruthless son in Jiangnan, the first mysterious person in the world, the master of Tianji Pavilion, the first poison master in the world, Shen Ruhui, and the last one is Wu Yue's first sword Ding Ming. Someone once said that his swordsmanship was enough to be called the first in Jiangnan, but he was humble and refused to admit it.

Thinking about it, these four firsts, there are two people related to me, the ruthless son is a super wheel who has left the secret camp, I don't know if he can still maintain the strength of the number one killer now, isn't the master of Tianji Pavilion myself, as for this Wu Yue No. 1 sword Ding Ming, who has repeatedly obstructed Dayong's secret spy intention to control Jiangnan Wulin, he is already a registered figure of Si Wencao. Although Fengyimen moved to Jiangnan, due to the entanglement with Jiangnan martial arts in the past, it lost masters like Fan Huiyao and Wen Ziyan, and its reputation was ruined, and it was very difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangnan martial arts.

It's such a coincidence, I actually let these two characters get on my boat, I showed a sincere look, and arched my hand: "The meeting is also fate, both of them are first-class characters of the Zhu family Guo Jie, and now I can see it, Sansheng is lucky, Li Er, go to get the altar of Huishan Spring just sent by the proprietor of Zhou, and then take the bag of new tea, my family's tea ceremony is extremely good, and it is a new and terrifying fragrance, so I dare to invite the two to taste." ”

Ding Ming said with a smile: "The terrifying incense produced by Zhenze Lake is already a good tea, and there is the water of the second spring in the world, which also makes people feel relaxed and happy. ”

I naturally knew the meaning of Ding Ming's words, and laughed: "Brother Ding is mocking me, I don't know that life is like a dream, if I insist on being sober, it will be the most painful and unbearable, and I don't know what good it will be even if my liver and intestines are broken." The unification of the world is the trend of the times, and the difference is nothing more than the unification of the north with the south or the unification of the south with the south, no matter who ascends to the supreme position, the sufferers are still us ordinary people. What's more, even if Lu Zhonglian of the Warring States is alive, it is impossible to persuade Emperor Yongdi to give up the heart of the Southern Expedition, and it is impossible to persuade the Southern Chu monarchs and ministers to be captured, in any case, the war is inevitable, I am not a sage, I can only rise and fall with the waves, unable to resist the earthly waves, this time the Yongjun has not bloodied Jiaxing, it is already a great luck in misfortune, I think it is still my fellow countryman still misses the homeland, otherwise I am afraid that the prosperous land of Wuyue will become a sea of blood in Shura. ”

The Taoist priest's expression turned cold when he heard this, and he said sharply: "They are all children of families like you, wealthy businessmen, who only know that there is a family, but do not know that there is a country, otherwise my Nanchu sits on half of the country, there is the danger of Shuzhong, Jingxiang, Jianghuai, and there are two major army camps in Ninghai and Dinghai, how can I fall into the fate of being attacked everywhere today." Yun Gongzi knows that my Southern Chu Navy and Yongjun have fought two battles in Hangzhou Bay, both of which are undecided, and the situation in Jingxiang is also very tense, the Nanyang Army is besieging Xiangyang again, and the Yongjun Army in Shuzhong is also ready to move. And my Nanchu family is still drunk and dreaming of death, Shangyuan said that Tianji Pavilion held a treasure conference in Jianye, and a crystal dragon bi was sold for two million taels, and the monarchs and ministers were up and down, extravagance became a trend, and they sat back and watched the people's suffering, if Nanchu died, it was all the fault of waiting. ”

Ding Ming frowned, he knew that since Kuzhuzi returned to Nanchu in the past, he had been dismissed from his military post and lived in the rivers and lakes. But at this moment, it is inappropriate, this mysterious son surnamed Yun must have a hidden influence in Wuzhou, if he offends him, Wuzhou's fundraising will be in vain. He kicked the bitter bamboo lightly, and said apologetically: "Brother Yun is well aware of the current situation, and he suddenly understands it, presumably this battle in the world is just a meaningless thing for the son, we are all secular people, I can't bear to see the Yongjun Iron Cavalry, crushing half of the south of the Yangtze River, and now the two countries are facing each other in the north and south, if you talk about military strength, Nanchu is not as far as Dayong, but if you talk about territory and financial resources, Nanchu is not inferior to Dayong, if you can row the river and stop, it is also a blessing." What's more, although my Southern Chu is weak, but there is also a great general such an optimus jade pillar, Huaixi, Yangzhou two battles, it caused the Yongjun to suffer a heavy blow, now although the Yongjun is fighting again, but if there is a general to set up a handsome banner, the Southern Chu army and the people will help it, the odds of victory are expected, Gongzi intends to fund the Wu Yue Righteous Army, isn't it also a manifestation of national affairs? Bitter bamboo, Yun Gongzi is not comparable to those mediocre people, and he is not sorry. ”

Bitter bamboo heard the words had to get up to apologize, I also got up to return the salute, said with a smile: "The bitter master said that there is nothing wrong, the crystal dragon is two feet long, the width and height are one foot, there are one hundred and eight dragons carved on it, if placed under the lamplight, dazzling, the dragons are vivid, as if they are about to break out of the wall, and there are fine lines in the crystal, like heavy auspicious clouds, such a dragon is a priceless treasure, in the next has a look, it is also difficult to give up, but it is a pity that it has been bought now, and now it must have been locked in the heavy building, can no longer see the skyIt's a pity. "I joked about bitter bamboo, while admiring this Ding Ming's talent, first euphemistically accused me of not caring about the rise and fall of the country, and then hinted that bitter bamboo I donated money to the righteous army is a good sign, it is really comprehensive, there are many heroes in Southern Chu, when the stars shine, but unfortunately it is covered by floating clouds, if the Southern Chu court is politically clear, it really can't be attacked.

Kuzhuzi was depressed for a while, but he didn't want to say anything more about the collision, but Ding Ming's eyes flashed, and the one who could be qualified to participate in the Tianji Pavilion Jingbao Conference must be the person in charge of the famous wealthy merchant family in Southern Chu.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi had already taken the purple sand tea set, two bags of tea, and a jar of sealed spring water, so I changed the topic and said: "Tea tasting is not fun, today there are guests, let me play a song in the piano, how about helping Yaxing?" ”

Ding Ming also wanted to change the topic for a while, so he said: "I want to hear the sound of Your Excellency's piano, please give me advice." When he came in, he saw that there was a piano platform in the cabin, and he was also a man who was good at music, so he naturally knew that the sound of music was the voice of the heart, and he had already felt that the master of this place was mysterious and unpredictable, so he also had the heart to probe.

Although I knew his intentions, I was not worried, so I went to the piano stand and sat down, threw away my vulgar thoughts, and only thought about the gurgling water, and the sound of the piano sounded with a flick of my fingers. Ding Ming listened carefully, only to feel that the sound of the piano seemed to be thin raindrops falling from the sky, and then flowed into the mountain stream, over the rocks, over the roots and grass stems, such as weaving streams into rivers, rivers converge into lakes, should be stirred with the lake outside the cabin, integrated into one, regardless of each other, people only feel that it is natural, not like the sound of silk strings, the sound of the piano is even more free and uninhibited, and the meaning of freedom and freedom can be known when you hear it.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi slowly cooked tea on the side, each step is made exquisite, as if it should be with the sound of the piano in general, every action is so distinct, elegant and calm, to the end of the piano sound, the tea fragrance curling, has overflowed in the cabin, Xiao Shunzi divided three tea, with crystal clear, almost transparent snow-colored porcelain cup to send, taking advantage of the cup color, the tea soup is like flawless jade, or green or dark green, in the depth, smoke such as weaving, tea fragrance leakage, among the tea leaves have some rolls, some are flaked.

Ding Ming picked up the teacup, he was slightly stunned, he is a person of Wu Yue, and he wanders around all the year round, the frightening fragrance produced by the Biluo Peak in the East Mountain of Zhenze Lake is not unfamiliar, this kind of tea is characterized by a slender rope, curled into a snail, covered with a full body, silver and white hidden green, rich aroma, mellow and sweet taste, the soup color is green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves is tender and bright, but now this tea is obviously mixed with another famous tea. Curiosity arose in my heart, and I drank the tea as soon as I drank it, only to feel that the taste was unpredictable, and there was a mellow taste. Thinking about it carefully, the fragrance of tea is a little unfamiliar, and I can't help but think deeply.

Although Kuzhuzi is more impetuous, but he is also the leader of the secret spy in Southern Chu, he also became calm after hearing Ding Ming's hint, he was originally a Huangguan Taoist, and when he had a lot of tea and surnames, he had traveled all over the country, and the world's famous tea, he knew a lot, drank the tea, thought for a moment, and said: "This is Xinyang Maojian mixed with the scaring fragrance, good tea, good thoughts." ”

I also drank the tea in the cup and said with a smile: "Li Er is the best at cooking tea, the world's famous tea, he has seen the ** of the ten, this time the frightened fragrance is too early, just after the spring equinox, so it is inevitable that there will be more frivolity, so he is supplemented by Xinyang hair, and the Taoist can break through in one word, and he is also a person in the tea ceremony." ”

Ding Ming's eyes turned on Xiao Shunzi, only felt that this servant had an ordinary face, although he was silent, but his eyes were cold and cold, and he was skilled and capable in cooking tea and serving tea. I must have seen the person who is now attacking Wu Yue, I don't know what kind of person Gongzi thinks he is? ”

I smiled and said: "This is difficult for me, although I was born in Jiaxing, but since I was a child, my family is poor, and the clansmen are as few as cold stars, Jiang Zheqi is said to have left his hometown since childhood, and is a side sect of the Jing family, such an identity and status, even if I am in Jiaxing, where is there a chance to get acquainted." If Brother Ding wants to know what kind of person he is, he doesn't need to ask me, just listen to the street talk, but in my opinion, he is a blessed person, married like a beautiful flower, and won the trust of Emperor Yongdi, how many people in the world can have such good luck? ”

Ding Ming's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said: "It turns out that Yun Gongzi is also from a poor family, and if he wants to have such an achievement in the future, he must have gone through a lot of hardships, but his net worth must be in Jiangnan, but he is not worried about being burned in the war?" Ding Ming thought about it again and again, this Yun Gongzi listened to his tone and was not a child of a famous family, this person's aura was by no means a mediocre person, seeing him pompous, and he was a rich person, then this person's identity was very interesting, and he couldn't let it go lightly. What's more, he has been in Wuyue for a long time, but he has never known such a person, how can he be willing to be vague.

I smiled faintly and said, "I am not the only one who does not hesitate to build a foundation, the lords of Southern Chu for several generations, except for His Majesty Emperor Wu, are the people who do not hesitate to build a foundation?" ”

Ding Ming said in a deep voice: "Why did Childe say this? ”

I looked out the window and said indifferently: "Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court has selected scholars based on virtue, the so-called virtue is touted by the family, and the so-called door is to keep the poor people out, and as a result, the national strength has declined, and the national capital has been broken for the barbarians, and the emperor and queen have all died." The prince crossed to the south, established Jianye as the accompanying capital, and survived for a long time, and people called the Jin court after it the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Today's Southern Chu Palace, most of them are still the ruins of the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace. Although in the end, the Central Plains soldiers drove out the barbarians and moved the capital back to Chang'an, the way of selecting soldiers remained unchanged. After only a hundred years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was divided, and His Majesty Emperor Wu inherited the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River, established the country as the emperor, and changed to the imperial examination system to select scholars, and the selection of generals was even more eclectic. It's a pity that for the sake of the great cause, Emperor Wu was forced to compromise with the Jiangnan family and let go of part of the power in exchange for the support of the family, but with Emperor Wu's eloquence, those families did not dare to obstruct it too much. It's a pity that Emperor Wu died less than seven years after the founding of the country, and after King Ling succeeded to the throne, the power of the family re-emerged. The next three generations of lords of the country are all confused, only know how to balance the power of the family, in order to protect the throne, the imperial examination has become a formality, and it will be a strategy to select talents, and it will become a competition for poetry and songs. And it is the high school gold list, if there is no support from the family, even if you have amazing talents, you can't get into the court, and the personnel turnover in the DPRK and China is mostly the result of the family's competition. The lord of the country does not know how to work hard to keep the foundation, let alone us ordinary people? ”

Ding Ming's eyes flashed gloomily, he was a poor scholar, he couldn't learn swords, although he became a famous swordsman, but in the eyes of the family is just a martial artist, although he has the ambition to serve the country, but there is no step to advance, but he still said: "The lord of the country is young, not yet pro-government, still in government, although he is mediocre, but the situation is still stable, there is still General Lu to select the virtuous and capable, in order to protect the territory, if the great and virtuous complement each other, there may not be no turnaround." Gongzi's insight, rare in the world, if he is willing to serve the country, he must be a generation of famous ministers, why should he bury the people and keep his light in obscurity. ”

I sneered: "If Brother Ding really thinks so, then he will send off the guests in the future." If it is said that the lord of the country is young, but he has not been in charge of the government, Brother Ding must not know that the crystal dragon is now in the Great Inner Treasure Pavilion. And since the 22nd year of Xiande Jianye was broken by Li Zhen, the dynasty and the central government family were all warned, only the Shang family was blessed by misfortune, unified the dynasty, the court in the past ten years is not only calm, it is simply the Shang family's Yiyantang, but it is a pity that the Shang family is not talented, short-sighted, do not know how to take the opportunity to implement the new policy, weaken the influence of the family in the local area, meritocracy, strengthen the national strength, but cronyism, do not ask the virtuous and foolish. At that time, there were still considerable people in the court, but now except for one or two people, they are either vassals of the Shang family, or they are inactive. Although General Lu Da is as you said, he selects talents and appoints talents, but the military department is in the hands of Shang Weijun, and if he wants to be promoted to lieutenant in the army, he needs the military department clerk, although Lu Can has a heart, but over the years, there are several people who have been able to be promoted from non-commissioned officers to generals. Moreover, Lu Can can only select talents in the army he personally leads, that is, among the generals of the Lu family, most of the promotions are related to the family lineage faction, which Lu Can himself is powerless to change. If it weren't for this, why would a hero like Brother Ding have the ambition to serve the country, but he has never joined the army and served in the field, and is only willing to help in the wilderness. ”

Ding Ming sighed again and again, and finally remained silent, everything that the young man in brocade said was true, but there was no way to refute it, so he could only say: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although what the prince said is reasonable, but now the situation is tense, we can't sit back and watch the Yongjun go south, especially not watching the Yongjun rampant Wu Yue and scatter countless flesh and blood." It's a pity that most of the merchants of the Wu Yue family who have not been affected are afraid of the Yongjun and dare not donate money to build a righteous army, which is really a pity! ”

When I saw him like this, I followed his tone and said: "Brother Ding, this is not the mind of the people who don't know the family businessmen, these people only have the word interests in their hearts, if not, how can private trade become a trend, the imperial court decree is mostly a dead letter in the land of Wu Yue, that is, Shang Weijun, isn't it also trying his best to arrange his henchmen to be in charge of Wu Yue and secretly carry out private trade?" In the minds of these people, interests are more important than anything else, if the funds are raised to prepare for the establishment of the righteous army, and the righteous army is controlled by the imperial court, then Wu Yue can no longer be exempt from the constraints of the Jianye decree as before, which is the taboo in their hearts. Moreover, the biggest profit of the Wu Yue family comes from ocean trade, Yuhang is the largest port in the land of Wu Yue, but now it is blocked by the Yong army, and the Wu Yue family is naturally unwilling to offend the Yong army too much before the victory or defeat of the two armies is unknown. ”

Ding Ming originally only had the idea of Sheji Li Shu in his heart, and he naturally did not consider the selfishness of these family businessmen, but he was also a smart person, after a little thought, he already understood the truth, he frowned and said: "But Dinghai is captured by the Yongjun, and the ocean trade will inevitably be interrupted, and the Wuyue family should have the intention to drive away the Yongjun and reopen the sea?" ”

I smiled and said: "If Nan Chu can achieve a big victory in a short period of time, the Wu Yue family will naturally support it strongly, but the East China Sea army is famous all over the world, once it occupies Dinghai, even if General Lu has the talent of the sky, it is impossible to achieve a decisive victory in a few years, so that a stalemate in the next few years is inevitable." This is in the first place, Wu Yue Hainan Airlines will also be greatly affected, after the closure of Yuhang shipping, Wu Yue small families, ordinary businessmen will want to cry without tears, but the powerful family businessmen can carry out private trade through Ninghai, when the two major shipping lines today, Hai is the Dayong force, but the Southern Min Yue clan still belongs to Nan Chu, the Yue family will naturally be happy to cooperate with the Wu Yue family to trade, even the Hai family will not refuse such a private trade, after all, the goods produced by Wu Yue are also very popular in the Dayong court, And because of the decrease in the quantity of goods, the price will rise several times, and for those people, the profit will not be reduced much, but there is the possibility of monopolizing business. It's just that whether the private trade goes north to Goryeo or the south to the countries of the South Seas, it needs to pass through the waters controlled by the Yongjun, and the secret reconciliation with the Yongjun has become the top priority, but in this case, how dare they offend the Yongjun? ”

Ding Ming heard this, and said in his heart, this Yun Gongzi must be an excellent businessman, in order to know the joints clearly, but I have never heard of these things, and this person has a lot to do with the "embroidery workshop". With such a thought in his heart, he asked more and more intentionally: "Then in the opinion of the son, how should we persuade the Wu Yue family to support the preparation of the rebel army?" ”

Without hesitation, I said, "Since a merchant is seeking profit, he needs to use profit." General Lu is bound to not be able to stay in Wuyue for a long time, once he leaves, if there is no righteous army to assist the Chu army to consolidate Wuyue's coastal defense, the Yongjun army will inevitably land and loot again, if the Yongjun army succeeds in Wuyue Lianlian, even if he is willing to open private trade, the Wu Yue family is just a marriage. The two hostile sides cooperated, and if one side did not have enough strength, it would not be able to gain the upper hand at the time of cooperation, so for the Wu Yue family, only by forcing the Yongjun army to retreat to the sea could it be possible to negotiate. Moreover, the Wu Yue family already has their own private soldiers, if they are worried that the righteous army will be controlled by the imperial court and hurt their foundation, why not mix the private soldiers into the righteous army, so that the righteous army can be under the control of the Wu Yue family, and will not become a tool for the imperial court to eliminate dissidents. ”

Ding Ming frowned and said: "In this way, although the righteous army can be successfully prepared, it will inevitably become the private force of the Wu Yue family, and there will be troubles in the future." ”

I smiled and said: "Since Brother Ding intends to ask, I am just talking casually, this is just an emergency strategy, if not, it is difficult to make the righteous army take shape quickly, as for being able to control the righteous army, it is just an excuse to persuade the Wu Yue family, it really has to be implemented, but there are many subtleties that can be considered, but I don't know who has the upper hand in the end." Thinking about it, if the righteous army is formed, even if the people's hearts are not aligned, with the ability and bearing of the general, it must not be difficult for him. And General Lu Taowu is far superior to others, or there is a better way! ”

Ding Ming nodded secretly, feeling that what Yun Wuxian said was very reasonable, and when he raised his eyes, this Yun Gongzi shook the folding fan lightly, his expression was calm, and there was a firm and confident light between his eyebrows, obviously his judgment was undoubted, and he also had great respect and admiration for General Lu Can, so it seemed that he was not as disappointed in Nan Chu as he said, if he blamed him with righteousness, or could persuade him to do his best for the country, he could get his help and guidance at the worst. And this person is so capable, wouldn't it be a pity if he was buried in the grass. Thinking of this, I was about to say something to advise, but I saw that Yun Wu's eyes were full of smiles, and he waved his fan and asked calmly: "In Brother Ding's opinion, in the battle of Wuyue, who has a higher chance of victory between Yongjun and Nanchu, my fellow townsman really has the ability to swallow the land of Wuyue?" Although that person is famous, most of them are conspiracies, and this dignified conquest, I'm afraid he doesn't have any way, right? ”

When Ding Ming heard this, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, and his heart swelled with infinite emotion, and sighed: "Brother Yun can see the maladministration of the imperial court clearly, and he must also know the strength of Dayong, Dayong has always had national strength above our country, seven or eight years ago, the battle of Pinghan, although the two warring sides were also killed and wounded, but Dayong did not hurt the vitality, and afterwards digested the national strength of the Northern Han Dynasty, even the original Princess Jiaping has become the current princess of Qi, Dayong's national strength has increased unabated, and took advantage of the situation to rebel, Dongchuan Qingwang, who wants to seize the world, has become the biggest joke, and that inexplicable counterinsurgency is also unbelievable when I think about it now. Who would have thought that the Splendid Alliance would defect in front of the battle, the Splendid Alliance has always been haunted in the land of Old Shu, even Dayong and I Nanchu have been cleared many times, but it has been fruitless, and they have formed a deep hatred with both countries, which everyone is convinced of. However, such a prestigious and extremely strict organization has long been infiltrated and controlled by the Dayong Ming Jiansi, and it is easy to restrain King Li Kang. The mighty Splendid Alliance disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Xiahou Yuanfeng, the director of the Mingjian Division, became famous all over the world, and even Shuzhong was shaken. If it weren't for General Lu Da taking advantage of the fact that Dongchuan had not yet been pacified, he would have attacked Jiameng Pass, I am afraid that the Yongjun army would have invaded Shuzhong a few years ago. Although Shuzhong is now stable, the land of Xiangfan and Jianghuai is always hanging with a sword on the head, Dayong with a million, Huaixi, Yangzhou two defeats did not damage the muscles and bones, once Emperor Yong transferred the warriors who galloped in the north to Jianghuai, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to deal with. What's even more headache is that the Yongjun army did not look for a way, attacking from the sea, and Wu Yue was in danger. I have a population of 10 million in Nanchu, half of the country, but everywhere to fortify, everywhere there are enemy troops, although I don't have much military strategy, but also know what is a lot of preparation and military division, martial arts also have a soft and undefinable truth, a long time to defend will be lost, fight back but powerless, such as what can I do? It is already obvious which is stronger and which is weaker in Dayongnan Chu.

As for Gongzi's question about Jiang Zhejiang Suiyun's person, in fact, he didn't say it, Gongzi also knew that this person was powerful, although the people of the court blindly humiliated and belittled this person, but as long as he was a person of insight, how could he forget that when he attacked Shu in the past, this person offered advice and advice to help Prince De Lian Kejian City, and finally forced the King of Shu to death to remove the hidden dangers in Shu. Although he retired because of his illness afterwards, people gradually forgot his brilliance, but who in the world dares to forget him? I have seen him be demoted because of the "Book of the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty", which describes the danger of Southern Chu, which involves Wu Yue, accusing Wu Yue of not repairing the armor of the army, and Wu Yue's family not following the laws of Jianye. In my opinion, the most wrong thing for Prince De was to send an assassin to assassinate this person behind him, if not, this person might still care about Nanchu, instead of leading troops to attack Wu Yue today, and have no thoughts of his homeland. ”

Ding Ming said this, without thinking, as soon as these words came out, there was a crisp sound in the cabin, and everyone looked at it, but it was the bitter bamboo that crushed the teacup in his hand. Ding Ming wanted to speak and stopped, at this time, Xiao Shunzi had already carried the spring water that had just been boiled and was ready to come to refill the water, and he didn't even move his eyebrows for the bitter bamboo to damage the valuable teacup, but just served another cup of tea, but this was the tea soup that Fang had just deliberately divided, and handed over the square towel, the bitter bamboo smiled, wiped the tea on his hands with the square towel, and his eyes showed apologies, but Xiao Shunzi went straight to refill the water for everyone.

Ding Ming's heart was relieved when he saw this, and he continued: "Regardless of this person's military strategy, he is just in Dinghai alone, so he restrained General Lu and did not dare to leave Wu Yue easily. ”

I smiled slightly, looked at the second brew of tea, its color became more and more blue, but I said: "That is the case, in the land of Wu Yue, there are many people who dare to die, why don't you use a sword to eliminate it." This person has been in the Hanlin Academy for many years, and he is a well-informed person, so he must be well aware of the geography and military affairs of various places in Southern Chu. ”

Ding Ming sighed: "It's not easy to say, although this person is a weak scholar, but there is a master of the innate level to serve around," Speaking of this, he glanced at Kuzhuzi, and saw that his expression was gloomy, but there was no impulsiveness, Fang continued: "There is more protection from the tiger guards sent by Emperor Yong, when entering and leaving, the front and back hug, the guard is tight, how can there be a chance to assassinate?" ”

I glanced at the sword behind him, and said: "Although this person is well guarded, if someone is willing to die and follow Nie Jing and his ilk, there may not be no chance, although there are masters around that person, but Nanchu may not have no one who can match, just like Brother Ding, a sword aura, implicit but not revealed, if he is exhausted, he may not have no chance." ”

Ding Ming smiled bitterly: "I and other people who learn swords, first of all, are sincere and righteous, although this person voted for Dayong, but no matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong." Regardless of whether he defected to Yongdu after being dismissed, and was captured to Yongdu, he couldn't help himself, it was another situation, a talented strategist, when he met a Ming monarch like Emperor Yong, he undressed and pushed his food, and put his heart in his heart, how could he not be grateful and convinced. This man threw himself into Dayong, and after thinking about it repeatedly, I couldn't think of a single reason to blame him, and even if that man was standing in front of me, I couldn't stab him with a clear conscience. What's more, if you talk about martial arts, although you have made some achievements, you don't dare to compare with the evil shadow Li Shun. Although I have been practicing swords for many years, I have never fought in the world, wandering between life and death, how can I compare with those real masters who have gone through life and death. There is no wind and waves in Jiangnan martial arts, and there have been no innate masters over the years, how can they compare to the masters of the north. Beside that person, even if there is no evil shadow Li Shun and tiger guards, is there no Shaolin master and demon sect disciple? Trying to assassinate this person is just a dream. ”

I lowered my eyes, drank the tea in the cup, and said: "Brother Ding is really a handsome talent, and most of the assassination of the enemy chieftain is a helpless move to defeat the strong with the weak, and now the two armies are facing each other in Hangzhou Bay, if General Lu can break through Dinghai with a dignified and upright army, he can eliminate the disaster, which is a fair and righteous strategy." Brother Ding is a great man for the country and the people, but he is deeply admired. ”

Ding Ming got up and said: "Since Yun Gongzi also thinks so, why don't you serve the country, General Lu is humble, Corporal Lixian, if you know that there is a character like Gongzi, you will definitely welcome him." His eyes were so full of hope that he could hardly bear to refuse.

I shook my head and smiled: "In the next is an idle cloud and wild crane, he doesn't ask about national affairs in his life, he usually travels to and from the north and south of the river, he is used to drinking in the moon, listening to the piano in the wind, if he can meet someone like Brother Ding, tasting tea and talking, it is already the biggest pleasure in life, as for those things that are fought and killed, I really don't know." The battle between the north and the south, no matter who wins or loses, is a battle between one family and one surname, and it has nothing to do with us ordinary people. Brother Ding's heart, although I admire it, please forgive me for not intervening in the militaristic dispute. However, I still have some strength in Jiangnan, if Brother Ding is in a hurry, I can come to ask for help. ”

Ding Ming's heart was gloomy, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that this brocade-clothed boy looked indifferent, and the elegant and elegant place was like a fairy, and he said in his heart, such a character really shouldn't be involved in the matter of Hongchen, it's just that it is extremely rare to be able to get him a promise. Turning his head to look, Kuzhuzi seemed to be displeased, and hurriedly made a look to make him patient, but he said: "It's reckless, please forgive me." ”

I saw that he was knowledgeable and interested, and I had a good impression, and said with a smile: "Brother Ding understands the hardships of the next and is very relieved, but I also ask Brother Ding not to talk about the things that are going to happen to others, and I don't want to cause more trouble." ”

Ding Ming was slightly stunned, although this request is reasonable, but this person is mysterious, if he hides this person's affairs, it will be inappropriate, so he just said: "Naturally, I won't talk about it to people." Kuzhuzi knew his intentions, but he was silent, I naturally saw the small movements of the two of them, and I didn't care much about it, such a situation had long been in my expectation.

Deliberately showing a happy and happy look, stood up, took the kettle in Xiao Shunzi's hand, refilled the water for the two of them with his own hands, and rolled the spring into the cup, although it was not as exquisite as Xiao Shunzi's skills, but it was not so much that the water splashed the tea flying, and then he held the teacup with his own hands and handed it to Ding Ming and Ku Zhuzi, both of whom got up and took it with both hands.

Although both sides have their own plans in their hearts, but at this moment, the three of them look at each other, but they also feel that they are very at ease for a while, looking at each other and smiling, and drinking tea each. After we had the tea in our stomachs, Xiao Shunzi began to remove the tea set, and the cabin was quite like the end of the song. I walked to the side of the piano platform and flicked the strings, and the sound of the piano was loud, telling the meaning of parting. Although he didn't speak, Ding Mingsu was good at pipa and proficient in music, so he naturally heard the meaning of sending off guests in the piano, stood up, and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly felt that his hands and feet had no strength.

Horror flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly picked up his true qi, but he couldn't lift it at all, he only felt that his body was like a spring breeze bathing, and there was a warm and soft feeling, like drinking alcohol, and he couldn't extricate himself. As soon as his feet went limp, he fell on the chair, only to feel that the strength in his body was dissipating inch by inch. Reluctantly turned around, only to see that Kuzhuzi had fainted in the chair at some point, his face was slightly red, as if he was in the middle of a good dream.

The light in his eyes flashed, but Ding Ming couldn't think of how he was poisoned, and the feeling of sleepiness came well, he couldn't wait to fall asleep immediately, but he knew in his heart that he was plotted, and he had to ask clearly no matter what, he couldn't faint and fall asleep like this. He bit the tip of his tongue reluctantly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his mind was clear, and he asked with difficulty: "Brother Yun, what do you mean by this?" ”

The person who was standing on his back and stroked the piano turned his head, there seemed to be surprise in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to work so hard to support Brother Ding, as long as you relax yourself, you can sleep peacefully, and there is no hardship." ”

Ding Ming held the arm of the chair tightly with one hand and said, "When did Brother Yun poison him, why didn't he find out about it." When he said that, the pain gradually dissipated, and the feeling of dizziness came again, and he opened his eyes wide and refused to close them, for fear that if he closed them, he would not be able to sink.

I saw that the cloud was without a trace and said indifferently: "Today's meeting is an accident, and it is also a common thing to talk about tea, but you and I have a verbal deed, and I can't help but say something that shouldn't be said. But it is unfortunate that I will stay here for one night, and if you are willing to find out my whereabouts, it will be a lot of trouble. In order to solve this problem, I put some sleeping drugs in the last cup of tea, and asked the two of them to sleep soundly on the painting boat for a night, and when the red is high in the morning, the two can return to the world. ”

Ding Ming only felt that his consciousness was gradually sinking into darkness, he reluctantly looked at the brocade-clothed boy, and faintly felt in his heart that this time, I am afraid that he will never have the opportunity to see this mysterious Yun Gongzi again, and he is not willing to miss the last opportunity to understand this person. I saw Yun Wuxian sigh lightly, and said abruptly: "Say goodbye today, there will be no time in the future, Brother Ding has outstanding character, strong will, admiration in my heart, and I will never lose my promise and betray my promise, but if Brother Ding spreads my affairs everywhere and gets angry, I don't know what unpleasant things will happen?" For the sake of Brother Ding, please keep this matter a secret. Hearing this, Ding Ming finally couldn't support it anymore, and in a haze, he saw the man walking slowly towards him, and the man's indifferent and melancholy voice came from his ears: "Providence is always difficult to ask, and it is relatively forgetful" Then, Ding Ming fell into the deepest darkness.
