The next step is to go to Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. My cousin Yu Yan naturally walked with me, but Princess Yinchuan never gave up, even Xiao Feng was also very interested in my trip, and happily went with me at my invitation. There is still Duan Yu, the son of Dali who is not very popular with me, in a group of people, this thing is simply a copper bean that can't be beaten to death, relying on a cliff clam's internal strength and a six-vein divine sword that is not good when it is not good, and it is actually mixed in the rivers and lakes. I was very unhappy when I saw him staring at Yu Yan, but I didn't want to embarrass him too much, after all, it is not my style to punish without teaching.

Before leaving, I saw that Xiao Feng was surrounded by rude men, and I couldn't help but say: "Brother Xiao is the king of the Southern Courtyard, but there is no maid to serve and take care of him, this is my maid Azhu, she has followed me since she was a child, she can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she can also do a little martial arts." She is gentle, wise, loyal and reliable, I have always treated her like my own sister, and I will let her follow you in the future. One can serve Brother Xiao, and the other is that you and I will definitely have a lot of confidential information to pass in the future, and Brother Xiao also needs such a person who knows the situation of the two parties to contact you and me, how about it? ”

Brother Xiao hesitated slightly: "It's just that Xiao is a reckless man, in the bitter cold land of Daliao, I'm afraid that the girl grew up in Jiangnan and will not be used to it." ”

Ah Zhu didn't expect me to "send" her out suddenly, and suddenly said "ah", very surprised, but listened to me: "Brother Xiao is polite, Ah Zhu is not a weak and delicate woman, and she admires Brother Xiao's heroic deeds in the world, so I sent her under your command, not to mention that you and I really need a clever person to be responsible for contact matters, so be it." ”

Xiao Feng looked at Ah Zhu, and saw that she didn't object, and there was even some joy in her eyes, so she had to clench her fists and say yes.

Bianliang, also known as Bianjing and Tokyo, is currently one of the most prosperous places in the world. With a population of more than one million, Fuhua is the best in the world. There are restaurants and tea shops everywhere, and all kinds of shops are full of goods; The streets were full of people, hurried pedestrians, hawkers, and people from the government in gauze clothes; Boats travel through the river, carrying goods from all over the world; Walking into the alley, you can still see the woman on the fence greeting guests from time to time. This is the capital of the Han people, where perennial living Bao Zheng, Su Shi, Ouyang Xiu, Mi Fu such a famous dignitaries, scholars and wise people, if the world celebrities and gentlemen, or to see Bianjing.

Princess Yinchuan looked around at the number one capital in the world, after all, it was very different from the bitter cold land like her Western Xia. Yu Yan looked at me affectionately, listened to me carefully, Yinchuan looked out of the window in the carriage for a long time, turned his head to see Yu Yan's appearance, and sneered: "Sister Yu Yan, you really have a deep affection for Senior Brother Murong." ”

Yu Yan's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "How can anyone have it, Qinglu is teasing my sister." ”

Yinchuan was very amused, grabbed Yu Yan's hand, and whispered something in her ear, which made Yu Yan ashamed, and couldn't help but reach over to spare the itch under Princess Yinchuan's armpit, causing the princess to shout for mercy. I sat on the sidelines and smiled at these two peerless coquettish people joking beside me, feeling a slight sense of pride in my heart. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, but I heard someone outside say, "Childe, we have arrived." ”

Gangnam-in. This is a high-end restaurant opened in Bianjing City in recent years, mainly serving the special food of the Jiangnan area, the first floor is the banquet hall, the second floor and the third floor are private rooms and have singers to accompany the wine and sing, and the back provides accommodation. The layout and catering of Jiangnan Courtyard have been designed by special people, and the taste is very elegant. Due to the high price, there are not many daily banquet customers, but they are often rich businessmen and nobles.

Yinchuan Yuyan and I both live in the innermost courtyard. Xiao Feng and Ah Zhu live in another courtyard. Duan Yu's identity was placed there, and I also arranged a separate courtyard for him. It's funny to say, if the Great Song Dynasty knew that the king of the Southern Courtyard of Great Liao, the princess of Yinchuan of Western Xia, and the prince of Dali came under their noses quietly, they would be shocked. This is also the reason why Tianxiang Pavilion's secrecy work is relatively in place.

After the group settled down, Xiao Feng smiled and wanted to go out and drink a few glasses, I knew that he had not drunk for several days all the way, I was afraid that he was already unbearable, but I had other important things to do, and after explaining to him, I went our separate ways. Yu Yan and Yinchuan and other female dependents did not have my company, and they didn't like to show their heads, so they played the piano in Tianxiang Pavilion.

I took Gongye Qian, Bao Wei and others to a place that had been agreed in advance, "Bianlou" This is a relatively high-end green building in Tokyo, and the singers in it are known as a unique place in Bianjing, and there are also some Qing officials who do not sell their hues to accompany them to drink and talk. I know that this green building was opened by Zhao Yong, the prince of the Song Dynasty, of course, his name is not used on the surface. Through the matchmaking between Tianxiang Pavilion and Bianlou, I am going to meet with a minister of the imperial court tonight.

The second brother of Gongye was waiting outside, I waited in the box for a while, the door opened, and in came an old man dressed in vermilion and graceful and luxurious, this is the prime minister Lu Dafang.

The person who came was a little arrogant, looked me up and down, and said slowly: "I have heard the name of Gusu Murong Gongzi for a long time, but when I met today, I turned out to be such a charming and elegant person. ”

I clasped my fists and saluted: "No, Murong Fu has seen Prime Minister Lu Cheng." ”

Lu Dafang nodded, sat down directly and said: "Murong Gongzi has recently become famous all over the world, killing and injuring people from friendly countries in Xixia City, and the court is deeply disturbed, and I am afraid that Your Excellency will act arbitrarily and cause unnecessary disputes between the two dynasties. ”

I am quite disdainful in my heart, the current ruling style of the Empress Dowager Gao is so cringe, she just wants to be peaceful, but she didn't expect that the enemy on the border is becoming more and more rampant, and often goes to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to "fight the grass valley", burning, killing and looting countless border people in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people suffer deeply. However, I still have a useful role for this person, so I sat down and said: "Murong came to Bianjing to report to His Majesty what he saw and heard about his trip to Western Xia, and I also hope that Lord Lu will give him guidance. ”

Lu Dafang said: "Although Murong Gongzi is a hero, after all, he is white, if you have anything to see, you can come with me one by one, and it is the same if someone tells the Queen Mother." ”

I poured him a cup of brewed tea, raised my hand and said, "Murong thinks that behind the current Song Dynasty song and dance promotion, in fact, there are strong enemies around, if you are not careful, you may lose the whole plate." Therefore, he made a trip to the Western Xia, but he never wanted to alarm the Western Xia royal family, so that some disputes occurred. Although Murong Fu is a martial artist, he also has a loyal and patriotic heart, if the adult is willing to tell him on his behalf, Murong will definitely have something in return. After speaking, he handed over a silver ticket of five thousand taels.

Lu Dafang quietly accepted the silver ticket, and said with a smile: "Murong Gongzi is really not ordinary, he should return to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and the imperial court will summon a loyal and righteous man like Gongzi as soon as possible." It's just that there is still a word of persuasion," Lu Dafang paused and said proudly, "After all, the affairs of the court are matters that the ministers consider, Murong Gongzi is not in his position, some things are not very clear, the current world is peaceful, and if you accidentally lose everything, it is better not to mention such remarks in front of Her Majesty the Queen Mother." ”

I nodded and said, "What Master Lu said is that Murong can save it." ”

When Lu Dafang saw that the matter was finished, he said: "There is still something important to do, so I will leave." ”

After sending Lu Dafang out, I was quite unhappy in my heart, although Lu Dafang was the prime minister below the two people in the DPRK and the central government, and above 10,000 people, but I wanted to kill him is almost like killing a chicken and killing a dog, but this person looks down on people and puts a score in front of me, which is also a common problem of civil officials. The problem is that there are still many things to deal with with these civilian officials in the future, and killing people will not solve the problem.

Let the second brother Gongye go back first, and I wandered the streets of Tokyo alone. Speaking of which, I have been running around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and I have spent a lot of time fighting in the frontier wilderness, and suddenly came to a lively and prosperous city like Tokyo, some of which I am not used to, and I stood by the Bianhe River for a long time, watching the boats coming and going on the river, and it was very lively, and I wondered how long such a peaceful scene could be maintained.

Suddenly, there was one more person around, and I admired it in my heart, although it was because there were many people by the Bianhe River, but I was able to rely on it within three zhang to make me realize that it was also a great cultivation. I turned my head to the visitor: "Long time no see, Fairy Zhiwei is okay." ”

The person who came was Xu Zhiwei, I noticed that she restrained the breath on her body, as if she was an ordinary person who could be ignored at any time, this is probably another unique exercise, and the background of Cihang Jingzhai is really profound. She stared at me carefully for a while before she said: "The ancients, the three of them should be impressed, but Murong Gongzi's cultivation is a thousand miles a day, advancing by leaps and bounds, a few days ago, the rivers and lakes frequently reported the deeds of the prince across the world, and Changsheng Valley is also fully supportive, Zhiwei is deeply admired." ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said: "Whether it's impressive or disdainful, it's just some appearances, Fairy Zhiwei is not afraid of the bitter cold and dangers of the side, exploring and visiting all parts of the world, I don't know what the harvest is?" What can I learn from this? ”

Zhiwei said indifferently: "Childe, can you not call Zhiwei Fairy, Zhiwei is just an ordinary outsider, there is nothing special, and the skin is illusory, why be persistent." ”

I admired the cute appearance of the fairy protesting quietly, and said at the same time: "Zhiwei's beauty has never been seen before, and the word fairy is appropriate, but since Zhiwei doesn't like it, Murong Yi is you." ”

Zhiwei and I looked at the large and small boats coming and going on the river and said: "Just now when it comes to visiting the world, Zhiwei doesn't feel hard, this is the homework that Cihang Jingzhai disciples must do when they go down the mountain." It's just a pity that in the past half a year, Zhiwei has been checking the news from friends on the road and visiting major forces, but she has never found anything, and she is not optimistic about the current situation. The Great Liaoxi Xia is all ready to move, and the Jurchen tribe in the north should not be underestimated, combined with the divination results of Mr. Xu Ziping of the Immortal Valley, signs of chaos have faintly appeared. ”

I sighed and said: "It's ridiculous that the court of the Great Song Dynasty is still obsessed with the dream of peace and prosperity, and the soldiers are low, and the redundant soldiers are only increasing. ”

Zhiwei was a little confused and said sadly: "Why can't people in the world live in peace with each other, haven't they had enough of the cost of war?" ”

I said with some sympathy: "Zhiwei is kind-hearted, but I don't know how people in this world are sinister, and how can they expect tigers, lions and cattle and sheep to live in peace." People's greed can never be satisfied, and it is human nature to have Longwang Shu. ”

Zhiwei turned her head and asked curiously: "Is Murong Gongzi also such a person?" Sister Xiuling of Changsheng Valley has a high opinion of you, but I don't know if Gongzi still wants to be Longwangshu in addition to the peerless beauties who follow him? ”

I looked at her for a long time and said: "Yu Yan is my childhood sweetheart's wife, Yinchuan is my very loyal sister, Xiuling is my deep admirer confidant, they are all my confidants." Buddhism talks about dependent arising emptiness, and after all, people who are destined are still worth cherishing. ”

Zhiwei gently turned her head and said, "I see, but I don't know what Murong Gongzi thinks of today?" The Valley of Eternal Life has announced to the world, declaring that you are their disciple who has entered the world, and asking the righteous friends to fully support Childe's actions. ”

I replied, "Murong plans to form an army on his own, protect the Great Song Dynasty in the short term, and dominate the world in the long run." ”

Zhiwei stared at me and said, "Is the prince finally planning to compete for the world as the emperor?" ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Maybe I'm better at fighting the world, but I'm not interested in being the emperor and governing the world." ”

Xu Zhi looked at me in surprise, and then said: "If it weren't for Zhiwei's certain understanding of Gongzi's personality, I'm afraid it would be difficult to believe Gongzi's words, not to mention that after having an army and power, how to make people in the world believe in Gongzi's heart?" ”

I said proudly: "Murong doesn't need the people of the world to believe in my true heart, their Zhao family plays the drama of yellow robes, but my son disdains to learn." In my opinion, the emperor's throne is no different from the taste of a rotting rat, but the forces and power that Murong will form in the future will not be weaker than that of Emperor Song Liao, because in this world of the jungle, the weak have no right to speak. ”
