Chapter 17: The Vortex
Those who used to be have not always been what they used to be, as we think.
============================
Jane Wei pushed the window and looked at the sky again, it was already dark, and it was dark early in the north. It's only three or four o'clock in winter, and it's dark. She tried to keep herself in order, put her hair in her hat, and told the girl that she should go to bed early. When everything was ready, he quietly slipped out of the house.
With the memory of the day, she successfully reached the wall, but unfortunately there was no young man now, and she tried several times, but she could not climb it. Once, seeing that he was almost there, he fell down again.
After falling so many times in a row, she was almost disheartened, and suddenly a hand reached out from the wall.
Jian Wei was stunned for a moment, and quickly held the hand, and with this strength, she finally climbed up, and then she saw clearly that the helper was petite, although the night was unknown, but she looked like a woman, so she said, "Thank you, beauty." ”
The man glanced at her, seemed startled, grabbed her hand and slammed it hard, and Janeway screamed in pain: "What are you doing!" ”
The woman whispered, "Who are you?" ”
Jian Wei was a little speechless, thinking to herself, didn't you pull me up, she said while struggling, "I don't know you, eldest sister, I'm just a passerby." The woman's strength was so great that Jane Wei almost couldn't get out, she was furious in her heart, and she used all her strength for the last time, and the woman suddenly let go, she scolded this plague god in her heart, and she immediately fell into the wall.
Although the land in the garden was newly turned over, it really hurt to fall, Jian Wei saw that the woman was still sitting on the wall and was stunned, she was angry, and she couldn't care about her embarrassment, she got up and grabbed the woman's foot is pull, she exclaimed, fell off the wall, but she just fell on Jian Wei, and she screamed again.
After this commotion, someone turned on the lights in the house and the door opened.
In a panic, I heard a low male voice on the right: "Follow me." She hurried along. The woman followed.
After passing a path, the three of them came to a thatched hut. The grass hut was lit like beans, and Janeway saw that he was wearing a dark gray left robe, and looked familiar with the woman who had pulled her up the wall.
She was about to ask, when another person came in, it was Zhao Zhi. With a solemn face, he nodded to Janeway.
When she was introduced, she knew that the man's name was Meng Qiufeng, and he was the elder brother of Meng Huiqing, the third lady of Wude; And that woman, named Liu Yuan, was Zhao Zhi's concubine in the Five Kingdoms City.
Jian Wei's heart instinctively tightened, she hurriedly turned her face, pretending to pick the faint bean-like lamp, who knows, accidentally, the wick fell into the black oil and went out.
Zhao Zhi sighed.
Janeway was stunned and had to say, "I didn't mean to. ”
Meng Qiufeng said: "That's fine, as long as we speak quietly, we can't see the clues outside." Brother Zhao, is this really your sister? ”
Janeway was silent, not knowing how to answer. This time I came to find Zhao Zhi, naturally I played Lin Yinshu's flag, always to escape, but I still felt a little awkward in my heart.
Zhao Zhi said: "Well, it's reliable, just now I asked Xiaoxiao to answer her." ”
Meng Qiufeng said: "Now the Jin Dynasty is fighting fiercely, and the main battle and the main and the two factions are fighting inextricably. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to stir it up, but it's a pity. ”
Liu Yin interjected and asked, "Where is Sister Huiqing now?" ”
Zhao Zhi: "Wude was corrected on the spot, his family was exiled, and the woman was confiscated into the Huanyi Courtyard. ”
Liu Waist gasped, and the room was a little quiet for a while.
Meng Qiufeng gritted his teeth and said, "It's a pity that I ran away from that Li Renxiao." ”
Zhao Zhi coughed lightly.
Li Renxiao is the prince of Chongzong of Xia Xia, this time he came to Beijing to discuss peace, and suddenly received the news that Chongzong was seriously ill, so he hurriedly got up and returned to China, he has always opposed the war, respected Confucianism, and advocated Buddhism. If he made a good alliance with the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty would free up his hands, which would inevitably be even more unfavorable to the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Jian Wei listened to them talk so much, and she didn't have the point, but pulled out Li Renxiao's case. She is a smart person, and she understood the relationship between Li Renxiao's assassination and them before.
She was anxious, she didn't want to listen to those national affairs, she hated righteousness, she couldn't help but clear her throat, and said, "Cousin, if I want to go back to the Southern Song Dynasty, what can you do?" ”
It was a bit awkward, but she was afraid that they would tell some secrets. For these, she has no curiosity, because she knows the general history, no matter how they toss, Li Renxiao is still the most accomplished emperor in the history of Western Xia, 1139, that is, in July this year, after Xia Chongzong, he inherited the unification and befriended Jin, and was ordered by the envoy of the Jin State to open the palace and set up three divisions and seal the national pillar.
After reading history for many years, she deeply understands a truth: the more she knows, the more dangerous it is.
Zhao Zhi said: "Yin Shu, now is a critical time, my cousin has something to entrust to you." ”
Sure enough, Janeway rolled her eyes.
Zhao Zhi couldn't see her expression, and said: "Huiqing was arrested, she has a detailed defense map of the Five Kingdoms City, without this, we can't find the emperor at all." ”
Jian Weiqi said: "Isn't Qin Zong in the Tianshui County Marquis' Mansion?" ”
Meng Qiufeng said: "No. That's just what it looks like. ”
"But," she originally came to ask for help, but was asked by others instead, "I can't see Huiqing either." ”
Zhao Zhi: "Huiqing is locked up in Huanyi Courtyard, if you go back to Beijing with Wan Yanliang, you can naturally see it." After you succeed, you go to the Nantong Commercial Bank in Shangjing, and according to the joint code I told you, you give them your things, and they will help you leave. ”
Jane Wei couldn't think of any other reason to shirk for a while, so she had to respond temporarily. She was displeased, what she said at the time was so good, and she knew the conditions as soon as she asked for help.
The three of them kept talking about getting dark, and Janeway yawned and fell asleep on the table, and when they woke up, they were still talking energetically. Zhao Zhi saw her wake up and said, "Can you remember the code I told you just now?" ”
She nodded.
Or sent her out by the willow waist, she noticed that she was wearing a narrow sleeve short skirt, and a long skirt under the floor, although it was a jinghai cloth skirt, but a rare gentle appearance, remembering that her strength was so great last night, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Liu Waist seemed to see her doubts, and said: "Perennial production and labor, it is inevitable that the strength will be more stupid." Sister don't mind last night, I heard movement by the wall, and when I went up to take a look, it was a man, and I was inevitably frightened. ”
Jian Wei smiled: "Sister-in-law is polite." ”
When she heard this, her face was slightly red, and she didn't reply for a while.
The two walked for a while and reached the corner. The willow waist climbed up neatly and pulled her up the wall again. She hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but admonish: "When I saw Sister Huiqing, please say hello on my behalf." ”
In fact, she already knew where it could be good in such a place, but she still couldn't help it, just this sentence, and her voice was choked.
Jane Wei saw that the hands on the earthen wall still had traces of winter chilblains, red like newly opened pomegranates, her heart was sour, and she hurriedly responded and jumped off the wall.
In the house, Meng Qiufeng asked, "Why bother to involve her in?" ”
Zhao Zhi rubbed his temples and said, "Wan Yanliang has a heart for her, only she can do it." ”
