After sleeping in the open for more than half a year, Shi Nanting and his son finally came to Beijing in the capital of Jinguo without danger.

The father and son were in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, standing on the streets of Shangjing at a loss.

It was the third year of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty, the eleventh year of the Jin Kingdom Tianhui, and the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was Wanyan Sheng of the temple name Taizong.

There was constant war between the Song and Jin countries, and the Jin people were full of defensiveness and contempt for the Song people, especially in Shangjing, the capital of the Jin State, where the Song people were either "vassals" who surrendered to the Jin State or slaves in the mansions of the magnates.

Shi Nanting, a Song person who has neither identity nor status, once caught, can only be a slave and a maid, which is completely inconsistent with the original Shi Nanting's plan to rely on the ancestral Soma and horse breeding skills to take refuge in the Shangjing magnates to be a guest and the like.

Shi Nanting and his son became a pair of beggars on the streets of Shangjing. During the day, they begged on the streets of Shangjing, enduring the extortion and bullying of the beggar leaders; At night, the father and son find a dilapidated temple or shelter under the eaves of a rich family.

Beggars, although they are at the bottom of society, are also a well-informed group.

Shi Nanting will be horses, horses, naturally there will be some looking, hearing and asking about the technique, prescribe a little prescription for headache and brain fever, relying on the intention and medical prescription, Shi Nanting got the favor of the beggar leader in the city, the father and son have a guarantee of food, and have a full understanding of the temperament, preferences, and shortcomings of the magnates in the capital.

Entering the court of the powerful, there is only one opportunity left.

This opportunity finally made Shi Nanting wait for it in the twelfth year of Tianhui.

February 24 is the birthday of Wan Yan Liang, the second son of Taishi Wanyan Zonggan.

This year, Wan Yan Liang was twelve years old. Twelve years old, according to Jurchen tradition, is equivalent to a boy's rite of passage, and is a quite important birthday.

Wanyan Liang is Zonggan's concubine, but he is handsome, quiet, and very intelligent, so he is quite outstanding among Zonggan's many sons and is deeply loved by Wanyan Zonggan.

In particular, Wan Yanliang likes the poems and articles of the Great Song Dynasty very much, and the words are very popular, and since the age of eight he has been interested in associating with the Song Liao celebrities who live in Jindi, he is quite talented in literature, and some Song Liao celebrities love him when he is young and smart, and call him a "prodigy".

Wan Yan Liang's twelfth birthday was valued by his father Wan Yan Zonggan, and he gave his son a horse, a horse with a black body and only four snow-white hooves, known as "dark clouds covering snow".

Wan Yanliang loves this one-year-old stallion very much, and rides it every day. This pony is also very agreeable, and one person and one horse work very well.

On that day, Wan Yanliang rode out on dark clouds and covered snow, and he was going to attend an important cultural meeting. When he was a child, he knew that his mother was just one of his father's many concubines, his mother's family had no power and power, and he had no maternal power to rely on.

It is a good way to get close to the famous people of Song and Liao and learn the culture of the Great Song Dynasty.

His father had a far-reaching vision, and he had long seen that in the future, the Song and Jin would make a truce, and that if the Jin State wanted to develop and govern the country, it was necessary to learn the rules and regulations of the Song Dynasty, and even to trust the Song ministers and "rule the Song with Song".

Everything was going well, and when he rode around the corner on the dark clouds and covered the snow, suddenly a masked man shot a puff of cow hair needles at him.

The strength of the cow hair needles was not very large, but there were enough of them, and Wan Yanliang saw the opportunity very quickly, and almost at the same time that the masked man appeared, he immediately hid his body on the other side of the horse.

A puff of needles almost hit the horse, and the horse suddenly went berserk, and carried him all the way to gallop, and ran two or three hundred feet, when the horse suddenly fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and it seemed that he was not alive.

Almost at the same time as the horse's exhaustion, Wan Yanliang threw off the horse and pushed the horse hard to avoid being pressed under the horse.

Only in this way he almost rolled to the ground, his lake-blue brocade robe was covered with dust, and his arms and knees were broken.

Wan Yan Liang got up and walked to the fallen dark cloud cover snow to check the situation of the horse as soon as possible, and at this time the guards also arrived, and the masked man who cast the poison needle was escorted to Wan Yan Liang by the guards.

"Tell me, what kind of poison did you put on your needle? Say it and I'll give you a good time! ”

"Phew! Grandpa's poison is unsolvable in your Jin Kingdom, especially when this horse runs so far after being hit by a needle, the gods are hard to save! It's a pity, it's a pity, grandpa's poisonous needle failed to kill you, a little gold thief, and he could only kill a horse, which wasted grandpa's fame! ”

Wan Yanliang: "Search, see if there is an antidote on him!" ”

The masked towel was torn off, and the man laughed: "Grandpa came with a heart of death, how could he bring any antidote and make your mother's spring and autumn dream!" ”

The guards were punched and kicked, and the man cursed endlessly, and the guards only found some daggers and iron nails from him.

The man laughed: "The golden dog is lucky, grandpa only killed your horse, it's a pity!" ”

After that, a wisp of black blood flowed from the corner of the man's mouth, and he didn't seem to be alive.

Wan Yanliang frowned and said: "Teeth hide poison, this is the means of the secret spy of the Song Dynasty, gouging out his eyes and cutting out his tongue, whipping the corpse to show the public!" ”

After the order, Wan Yanliang no longer paid attention to everyone, squatted down by himself, and gently stroked the mane of the horse, which seemed to understand the master's mind, and tears flowed from his big eyes.

"Bee venom, it's bee venom!"

A small head poked out from behind the stone lion of a family, and when he saw that Yan Liang and the guards all turned their heads to look at him, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head.

Needless to say, this child is Shi Zhongtang, the masked man who assassinated is also a secret spy, he did not hesitate to fight for his life to do this play, just to send Shi Nanting and his son into the Taishi Mansion.

The fine needles of cow hair are indeed smeared with bee venom, a kind of poisonous bee from Champa, and people and animals will go crazy when they are hit by this bee venom, and run until they die of exhaustion.

Shi Nanting naturally would not let Wan Yanliang's horse die of exhaustion, so there was not only bee venom on the fine needles of the cow, but also anesthetics, and the dark clouds covered the snow before running for two or three hundred zhang and then fell.

The young Shi Zhongtang led out the Shi Nan Pavilion and successfully cured Wan Yan Liang's horse, everything was logical, and the father and son also entered the Taishi Mansion, Shi Nanting became a groom in the Taishi Mansion, and Shi Zhongtang followed Wan Yan Liang and became his pro.

Xie Dacheng: "Since you have entered the Taishi Mansion, Wan Yanliang has also usurped the throne and become the emperor, why haven't you heard any news for so many years?" ”

Shi Nanting said with a wry smile: "Taishi governs the family very strictly, Wan Yanliang don't look at his young age at the time, he has a gloomy nature, and he has a very good city, although our father and son have entered the Taishi Mansion, they can't be trusted, Wan Yanliang's suspicion of my father and son has never been eliminated." For the first few years, I could feel the watchful eyes around me all the time. Zhongtang was taken by him, I'm afraid it's just because he is young and wants to talk about it. ”

"If you can't be trusted, where is the information to be transmitted? What really made him let down his guard against my father and son was when Xiao Lao'er witnessed the tragic death of the girl. Gaining his trust was when he usurped the throne, Zhongtang made a death move, but Wan Yanliang was very suspicious and suspicious, who could really trust him? ”
