Chapter 68: Admiration

After the ** scene that night, Lu Xuanming sent his daughter several times to dedicate to Shi Wei.

Shi Wei read Lu Yuzhu's true feelings, but he did not refuse to come, and there was one more beautiful woman by his side, but he also talked about comforting his loneliness in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Shi Wei went to the Southern Tang Dynasty this time and stayed in Jinling for two months.

Unconsciously, spring turned to summer, and in the past few months, Shi Wei used his status as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to wantonly recruit and appease those Southern Tang officials who were interested in the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Yuyan could ignore Shi Wei's actions under his nose, but he was helpless and didn't dare to stop him.

Li Yu could only take the order of not disturbing the envoys of the Heavenly Empire, and try his best to prevent his courtiers from having too close contact with Shi Wei.

At the end of the summer, Shi Wei finally received a secret order from Bianjing, ordering him to return to Hezhou as soon as possible and command the medical camp that had been built for half a year.

When he received this secret decree, Shi Wei was keenly aware that the Son of Heaven seemed to have made preparations for all parties, and the southern expedition of the army was estimated to be launched soon.

So, Shi Wei immediately proposed his resignation to Li Yu.

Shi Wei was eating, drinking, and digging corners in Jinling, and Li Yu was already miserable, wishing that this "plague god" would leave quickly.

Now, when he heard the news that Shi Wei proposed to resign and return to the Great Song Dynasty, he was naturally overjoyed as if he had been granted amnesty.

Overjoyed, Li Yu doubled the amount of many treasures that Shi Wei had, and drove out of the palace and personally sent Shi Wei to the dock to board the ship.

On the trestle bridge, hundreds of monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent off Shi Wei in a mighty way.

"Shi Shang is about to return north in a hurry, Yu is really a little reluctant." Li Yu's face was sincere, but he really looked a little reluctant.

This is false, I have been "scourging" you here for so long, I am afraid that you have long been looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to me leaving.

Shi Wei smiled secretly in his heart, so he took the opportunity to say: "Since the lord of the country is so reluctant, then the envoy might as well stay for a few more months." ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Yu's expression immediately changed.

Li Yu was just polite words, he thought that Shi Wei would also respond politely, but who knew that Shi Wei did not play cards according to the routine, which suddenly made Li Yu not know how to interface.

"The envoy is just joking, the lord of the country is still serious, the envoy has been on the envoy for several months, and this time he has to rush back to Beijing to resume his life, so how can he stay again." Shi Wei said with a smile.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes couldn't help but pass a little gloomy.

It's just that he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to attack in public, but he still laughed and said: "Come and say that Fang Chang, if the stone envoy has another opportunity to send an envoy to the country in the future, it will not be too late for Yu and the envoy to talk about the friendship between him and the envoy." ”

"Don't worry, I believe that in the near future, we will definitely meet again." Shi Wei's words meant something else.

Of course, Li Yu couldn't hear it, and he wished that Shi Wei would die of a violent illness after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't want to see this broom star again in his life.

At the moment, Li Yu was busy and said: "The green mountains are not old, the green water lasts forever, and there will always be a time to meet again." ”

After a few scenes, Shi Wei got on the boat, and with dozens of ships full of Li Yu's tributes, slowly sailed away from Jinling Wharf and headed towards Yangzhou in Jiangbei.

As soon as Shi Wei's fleet arrived in Yangzhou, he met an old man who had been waiting for a long time, Cao Cong.

And Cao Cong brought a long-awaited news.

The Son of Heaven has ordered the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and in Bianjing City, the generals and the forbidden armies from all walks of life have been mobilized, and as soon as this summer passes, the 100,000 troops will march south.

This news really made Shi Wei excited, and it was almost the end of summer at this time, which meant that the war against the Southern Tang Dynasty would start in a month at the latest.

After learning that the war was imminent, Shi Wei was not concerned about how the Great Song Dynasty would win, but about who would participate in the war.

It was inconvenient for Shi Wei to ask Cao Cong directly, so he inquired sideways.

He learned that the generals who participated in the war included Cao Cong's father, Cao Bin, the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Yuan, Li Hanqiong, the guard Ma Jundu, Tian Qinzuo, the secretary of the Sifang Pavilion, and Pan Mei, the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, Liu Yu, the guard infantry Duyu, and Liang Zhen, the envoy of the Dongshang Pavilion.

"But I don't know who will be the generals?" Shi Wei asked.

The expedition of famous generals such as Cao Bin and Pan Mei was expected by Shi Wei, and what he was concerned about was whether the second prince Zhao Dezhao participated in the southern expedition.

The answer given by Cao Cong made Shi Wei very excited.

The Son of Heaven has an order, and all the armies on the front line are controlled by his father Cao Bin, which means that Cao Bin is still the commander of the former enemy who destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty as in history.

However, when it was slightly different from history, Zhao Kuangyin appointed Dezhao as the supervisor of the army, sitting in Hezhou, supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and supervising the army.

This will Shi Wei can be understood as Zhao Dezhao is the commander of the listing, and Cao Bin is the actual commander.

From this point of view, the appointment of the Son of Heaven is in line with Shi Wei's original idea.

Shi Weizi was secretly excited.

As for Cao Cong, he followed his father's instructions and went to Hezhou to collect information, survey the terrain, and prepare for the future arrival of his father's army.

After meeting Cao Cong in a hurry, Shi Wei immediately returned to Hezhou.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was about to send troops, and Shi Wei no longer had to hide his identity, so when he returned to Liyang City this time, he was wearing an official uniform and swaggering into the city in an official car.

Shi Wei's revealing identity naturally caused a lot of sensation in Liyang City, and the officials and people of the city only knew that the shopkeeper of the newly opened medical hall in the south of the city was actually the pawn of the dynasty.

Shi Wei returned to his house in the eyes of everyone.

At this time, Yu Guizhi didn't know the inside story, but he could only hear what people said, saying that there was a carriage from the government, and Yu Guizhi also said what kind of official came to the door, and hurriedly came out to greet him.

When Shi Wei, who was dressed in official uniform, got off the carriage, Yu Guizhi was stunned for a moment.

"Ambition...... You are ......" Yu Guizhi stammered, unable to say a word.

She couldn't figure out why the cousin of the original medicinal herb merchant dared to come back in such a big way wearing an official uniform.

And looking at his side, the original family member Xiong Qingye and others were also wearing military uniforms, which was very unusual from before.

Yu Guizhi, who didn't have much knowledge, was naturally shocked immediately.

Shi Wei said apologetically: "The foolish brother has a holy order, and he had to hide his identity before, and I hope my cousin will forgive me." ”

"Divine Command?"

Yu Guizhi became more and more shocked, although she didn't have much knowledge, she also knew that the "holy order" was the emperor's will, and she was shocked that her cousin, why would he have a relationship with the emperor.

"Mrs. Cousin, my lord is the imperial court, and half of the imperial doctors of our Great Song Dynasty are under his control." At this time, Xiong Qingye on the side smiled and explained for Shi Wei.

Yu Guizhi was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized.

"Yuanzhi, you are actually the Langzhong of the Son of Heaven?" After Yu Guizhi knew Shi Wei's identity, the shock continued unabated.

Lang Zhong of the Son of Heaven.

Yu Guizhi's simple annotation made Shi Wei feel funny.

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "You can say the same." ”

Yu Guizhi originally admired her capable cousin, but now I heard that he was not an ordinary person, not only an official of the imperial court, but also a doctor for the high-ranking emperor.

Such an unattainable character, now standing in front of him, still calling himself cousin.

Yu Guizhi suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if he couldn't accept the fact of such a fuss for a while.

As soon as she was nervous, she covered her forehead and showed signs of unsteadiness on her feet.

Shi Weiton was taken aback, stepped forward, and grabbed her before she collapsed.

Seeing his cousin's dizzy appearance, Shi Wei didn't have time to think about it, picked him up and went to the house.

Running all the way back to her bedroom, Shi Wei carefully put her on the bed, and instructed his subordinates to hurry up and get some tonic decoction to calm the nerves.

After tossing for a long time, Yu Guizhi's mood gradually calmed down, and his spirit slowly returned to normal.

When she saw Shi Wei in official uniform again, driven by the instinct of the little people who were afraid of officials, she struggled to get up and salute Shi Wei.

"Cousin, lie down and get up and do something." Shi Wei pressed her down.

Yu Guizhi said uneasily: "You are an official master, how can I not give you a courtesy." ”

Shi Wei shook her hand and said with a smile: "What is an official or not, I will always be your younger brother at home, where is there a sister to give my younger brother a gift." ”

Hearing Shi Wei's words, Yu Guizhi's mood calmed down.

At this time, when she learned the truth, she looked at the cousin in front of her who had become a "big official", and the look of admiration in her eyes became more and more intense, and she thought that she didn't know the blessings of several lifetimes, and she actually had such an amazing cousin.

When she was sweet and happy, she suddenly found that Shi Wei was caressing her hand, and her face suddenly swelled with a little shame.

With a servant in front, Yu Guizhi wanted to pull his hand out, but when he saw his cousin holding it so tightly, he was afraid that he would be unhappy.

Just when she was embarrassed, Lian'er burst into the house in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the door, she rushed straight to Shi Wei, shouting in her mouth: "Uncle, uncle, can you bring something fun for Lian'er?" ”

Shi Wei was also happy to see Lian'er, and hugged this pretty little girl.

Lian'er was nine years old, originally very thin, but since following Shi Wei, she has eaten and drunk well, and she has grown a lot of meat after only a few months of hard work.

"How could my uncle forget to bring a gift to Lian'er." Shi Wei smiled, and took out an object from his arms, but it was a sachet embroidered with gold wire.

Lian'er held the sachet in front of her nose and sniffed it a few times, the fragrance was very good, so she said happily "Thank you, uncle", and kissed Shi Wei's face as she spoke.

It was the height of summer, and Lian'er was only wearing a thin white coat, so she stepped forward to kiss her, and her chest was attached to Shi Wei.

To Shi Wei's surprise, he actually felt a slight squeeze.

He inadvertently glanced down, but saw that Lian'er's red and Yin Yin breast was also slightly raised.

Seeing this scene, Shi Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly: "My niece looks a little similar to Lilac's girl, both of them have developed very well at a young age......
