Chapter Ninety-Three: The Innocent Sparrow

The black iron tower filled Xiao Yun's vision in an instant.

The fawn in her heart seemed to have been whipped hard, and although it hurt, the feeling made her feel an impulsive pleasure.

Breathing is so short that it seems to have stopped.

She stared at the frightening thing in a daze, and a strong sense of irritation gushed out from the depths of her heart.

I don't know if I looked at it for a long time, her smooth and pink neck squirmed slightly, as if she had swallowed a mouthful of foam.

Then, tremblingly, she stretched out her slender hand and slowly moved towards the tower.

The moment the fingertips touched, Xiao Yun's heart thumped.

The violent impact urged the blood to rush to her mind, and instantly made her fall into obsession.

As if the so-called reason remaining in her heart had vanished at that moment, she only hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but stretch out her hands, gently holding the lovely and hateful thing, and caressing it like a fascination.

Shi Wei was still pretending to be asleep, and his snoring was still like thunder.

Although Xiao Yun's caress has made his blood swell, the fire in his cavity is almost difficult to control.

But he forcibly suppressed it, and quietly tossed by Xiao Yun, such a strange feeling made him feel even more indescribably comfortable.

Smooth vine branches wrapped around the trunk of the towering tree, and snakes moved up and down, only stirring the towering tree.

I don't know how long it took, with a low hum of the male surname, a dripping sweet spring gushed out.

At this time, Xiao Yun was already confused, like a fairy and drunk.

She was obsessed with herself, and her cold and shameful blushing face was splashed by the sweet spring.

The warm spring water moistened her skin and hair, and also made her sanity begin to recover at this moment.

Xiao Yun, who was withdrawn from obsession, realized what an ugly thing she had done at this time.

Xiao Yun's expression suddenly showed panic, and she hurriedly glanced up at Shi Wei, and was relieved to see that he was still snoring and sleeping as usual.

She thought that if Shi Wei was awakened and saw herself like this, she would not be ashamed to die under her own shame.

So she hurriedly wiped Shi Wei's body dry, and gently covered him with a quilt, and then she exited the door in a panic.

When the door creaked shut, Shi Wei opened his eyes.

Looking at the figure in the window, Shi Wei smiled slightly, then turned over and fell asleep comfortably.

Xiao Yun, who left Shi Wei's room, was in a state of confusion, and wanted to go back to the room to rest in a panic.

It's just that when I turned a corner, I almost collided with a person.

That person is Xiao Zhouhou.

"Mother, why are you up?" Xiao Yun was a thief, and her expression became more and more unnatural.

Xiao Zhou said: "I was afraid that Lord Shi would catch a cold, so I got up to take a look." ”

Xiao Yun hurriedly said: "The slave maid has already sent the dry clothes to Lord Shi, and Lord Shi said that he is sleepy, and now he is afraid that he has fallen asleep." ”

She was afraid that after Xiao Zhou entered Shi Wei's room, she would see the bathtub and smell the essential oil, and she would suspect something.

Hearing this, Xiao Zhouhou nodded and said, "Since Master Shi has fallen asleep, then I won't bother him, Xiao Yun, you should rest early." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yun answered, took advantage of the situation and left, wanting to escape from Xiao Zhouhou.

Just when she passed by Xiao Zhouhou, Xiao Zhouhou suddenly grabbed her, pointed to her sideburns and said, "Xiao Yun, what is on your head?" ”

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, instinctively reached out to touch it, and when she looked down, she found that there was a wisp of sticky liquid between her fingers.

Stunned for a moment, her face suddenly blushed.

"They were all killed by him, and I couldn't hide from it, which is shameful and ashamed......"

Xiao Yun only felt extremely embarrassed in her heart, but she was busy trying to calm down, pretending to complain: "It must be the of the finch, it's really hateful, I will have someone stab their nest another day." ”

In a hurry, Xiao Yun pushed the "culprit" to the innocent finch.

Xiao Zhouhou is not such an ignorant girl who has not been heard of, Xiao Yun was afraid to stay for a while, so she had to show her the clues, so she went back to the house to wash under the pretext of going back to the house, and left in a hurry.

Xiao Zhouhou looked at Xiao Yun's distant back, and his originally calm and calm expression was relieved at this time.

She pressed her chest and muttered, "I really drank too much today, and I did such a ridiculous thing, but fortunately, this girl didn't mention it again, otherwise she would be really ashamed......"

The night rain was raining, knocking on the roof tiles and tinkling.

Xiao Zhouhou raised his head, looked at the rain lines hanging from the eaves, and suddenly recalled the absurdity of the previous stone pavilion.

lowered his eyebrows and smiled, and the deep dimples appeared on his face unconsciously.

……………………………………………… Shi Wei slept very comfortably that night, and when he woke up the next day, he sent someone to the Fuli Branch, and then went straight to the Yamen on an errand.

As soon as he entered the yamen with his front foot, he bumped into two pieces of news.

The first piece of news is that the Son of Heaven decided to visit Luoyang in autumn to pay respects to the mausoleum of the late Queen Mother.

Zhao Kuangyin, the son of heaven, was born in Luoyang Jiama Camp, and after the death of his mother Empress Dowager Du, Zhao Kuangyin buried him in Luoyang Yong'an Mausoleum, which can be regarded as a burial in his hometown.

When Shi Wei heard the news, he couldn't help but be secretly excited.

He knew that this was a sign that his plan had worked.

Previously, Shi Wei suggested that Zhao Dezhao persuade the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Luoyang, but he was afraid that taking the initiative to go to the table would cause the King of Jin to speculate and counterattack.

So Shi Wei made a plan to try to make the Son of Heaven have the idea of moving the capital to Luoyang.

Therefore, he secretly gave Dezhao a plan, and asked him to make a statement to the Son of Heaven, saying that the Southern Tang Dynasty had been peaceful, and it was not said that the Queen Mother was jealous, and in order to fulfill filial piety, he should go to Luoyang to sacrifice to the mausoleum.

With such a high-sounding reason, the Son of Heaven will think that Dezhao has filial piety, and Zhao Guangyi cannot have a second opinion.

In this way, as long as the Son of Heaven patrols Luoyang and observes the dangers of Luoyang's mountains and rivers, Shi Wei believes that with Zhao Kuangyin's insight, he will definitely have the idea of moving the capital.

Now, when he heard the news that the Son of Heaven was preparing to visit Luoyang in the yamen, Shi Wei naturally knew that the plan had been accomplished.

The first news was good news, but the second news made Shi Wei feel a little headache.

According to the rumors in the palace, it was said that the envoy of the Liao State in the north suddenly fell seriously ill in Hebei, and it was difficult to make the trip for a while, so the Son of Heaven planned to send him to Hebei as soon as possible to treat the Liao envoy, and then escort the Liao envoy back to Beijing by the way.

Treating diseases and saving people is the meaning of the Son of Heaven, and Shi Wei originally had no complaints.

It's just that now he has only returned from Jiangnan for a few days, and his butt has not yet sat firmly at home, but now he is going to Hebei, and he is naturally a little reluctant.

Sure enough, there was a rumor of wind in the morning, and by the afternoon, the documents from Zhongshu Province had arrived.

Shi Wei was reluctant to return to reluctance, and at the moment he had to receive the order, went home and packed up hastily, and then left Beijing and rushed to Hebei.

The place where the Liao envoy fell ill was called Xiongzhou, which was a military town in the northern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty.

The current relationship between Song and Liao is not as strong as the impression is that the Liao State is strong and the Song State is weak.

In fact, until the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Song Dynasty had always had a certain military advantage over the Liao State, and the Liao State was also quite afraid of the Song Dynasty.

It is a pity that Zhao Guangyi, who did not understand the art of war, failed to use troops in the Yanyun area twice, so that the Song Dynasty completely lost its military advantage over Liao, and the trend of advance and retreat between the two countries was reversed.

When today's policy towards Liao does not seem to be very tough at present, except for several crusades against the puppet Han regime in Hedong, when he was forced to clash with the reinforcements of Liao, the Son of Heaven strictly forbade the Song army's border troops to take the initiative to provoke Liao.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin had already built the so-called "Sealed Pile Warehouse" a few years ago, claiming that as long as he accumulated five million funds, he would buy Yanyun's land from Liaoran.

If the Liao State did not agree, Zhao Kuangyin used this fund as the special capital for the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, and used military means to recover the sixteen states.

In Hebei, the water network is far less dense than Henan and Jiangnan, and Shi Wei's trip to Hebei is indispensable to the bumps of the carriage.

However, he also took this opportunity to see the customs of Hebei by the way.

As the saying goes: Yan Zhao is a strong man. Through what he saw along the way, Shi Wei did believe this.

Seven days later, he finally arrived in Xiongzhou City.

Xiongzhou was originally known as Waqiao Pass, more than ten years ago, the former dynasty Zhou Shizong north expedition Yanyun, after capturing this pass, it was renamed Xiongzhou.

After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the Song and Liao confronted each other in the middle of the Hebei Plain, and the Juma River became the boundary river between the two countries in this area.

Xiongzhou is located in the south of the Jiehe River, only 30 miles away from the Jiehe, so it has naturally become the frontier town of the Great Song Dynasty in Hebei.

There are clouds in the time: Hebei, the imperial court is fundamental, and Xiongzhou is the throat of Hebei.

Therefore, there are often heavy soldiers in the place, and the people are fierce, and soon after Shi Wei entered the city, he felt a strong wind of the male surname.

However, Shi Wei's strongest image of Xiongzhou is that the place is too environmentally conscious.

Looking north from Xiongzhou, along the line of the Jiehe River, densely planted with forests, its vastness is comparable to the no-man's land on the 38th line.

As soon as Shi Wei inquired with the magistrate of Xiongzhou, he learned that at the beginning of the current Shengshang's succession, he was busy pacifying the southern states, so he took a defensive position against the Liao state in the north.

In order to limit the cavalry of the Liao people, the saint ordered that the elm willow should be planted in the place where the north and south of Xiongzhou are divided, and there is only one path in the middle, which can only accommodate one horse.

Looking at the dense protective forest, Shi Wei suddenly felt that Zhao Kuangyin was really an extraordinary monarch, and if he didn't have superhuman wisdom, how could he come up with such a wonderful plan.

didn't have time to sigh more, Shi Wei was invited by Xiongzhou to the state official post, where there was a seriously ill Liao envoy waiting for Shi Wei's treatment.

Entering the pavilion, Shi Wei, accompanied by the governor of Xiongzhou, went straight to the place where the Liao envoy stayed.

When Fang was about to send someone to pass the message, the door creaked open.

What walked out of it was a Khitan female warrior wearing a scimitar and describing her coldness.
