Song Yu and Leng Yi returned with the Teng clan, and did not rush back to Jinjianwu as soon as possible, but instructed their subordinates to send the gifts prepared by Teng Sanshi back to Jingjiang Mansion.

The two of them changed to fast horses, detoured to the southeast, and went straight to Shaozhou, fifty miles away.

At the beginning, Jin Fuyu transferred the 100,000 troops secretly cultivated out of Hengshanzhai, including 20,000 soldiers and horses, which were hidden in the suburbs of Shaozhou.

Shi Zhenshan, one of the eight masters of Jin Jianwu and another "henchman" of Jin Fuyu, is currently training in Shaozhou.

Since Jian Zhong died in Tanggula Mountain and Xu Guangsheng died tragically in Yunya Ancient Town, Jin Fuyu gradually became disheartened with "outsiders" and decided to pin the heavy responsibility of commanding the army on "his own people".

Among them, Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian have the most experience in commanding troops and have the best potential. Therefore, Jin Fuyu devoted everything he had to cultivate them, hoping that the two of them would transform from courageous and knowledgeable masters of the rivers and lakes to strategic generals as soon as possible.

According to Song Yu's original words: "Nowadays, Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian eat well, dress well, and everything that is applied is the best." The dock owner used mountains of gold and silver to support them, but he didn't need them to earn a penny. Everything in Jinjianwu must be picked by them first, and the rest will be ours. ”

Although this statement has the meaning of ridicule, it also reflects from the side how transcendent Shi Zhenshan and Wen Lian are in today's Jinjianwu?

Especially Shi Zhenshan, who is undoubtedly the most talented person under Jin Fuyu's command. Compared with the gentleness and gentleness of the elegant and beautiful interior, Shi Zhenshan's fierce and brave character is more suitable for commanding thousands of troops. As for Wen Lian, he is more like a military advisor who gives advice.

The two of them are one literate and one martial, one rigid and one soft. can not only make up for each other, but also check and balance each other, this is the result of Jin Fuyu's careful consideration.

"I thought you were staying in the Teng clan for at least three or five days, why did you return at dawn and evening?

Before he showed up, Shi Zhenshan's loud and rough voice had already taken the lead, which startled Song Yu and Leng Yiyi, who had just sat down, and the tea that had just been drunk in their mouths almost squirted out.

After dusk, the sunset has set and the golden moon has not risen, and the sky is bleak, just like Song Yu and Leng Yiyi's mood at the moment, gloomy and depressed.

"We are not welcome at all, and it is very polite not to beat us out. Song Yu wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief while laughing at herself.

"What do you mean?" Shi Zhenshan, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, strode into the room with a meteor, sat opposite Song and Leng, picked up the teapot on the table, and drank mouth-to-mouth "Gu Dong Gu Dong", and then wiped his big hand, and asked angrily, "When we went to Xiangxi before, which time were they not as enthusiastic as fire? Why did they make you deflated this time? Old man Teng didn't give you face, he didn't give Jin Jianwu face, but he couldn't do it?"

"During this time, you have been busy training and have little knowledge of what is happening on the rivers and lakes. Song Yu said helplessly, "The days of enthusiasm are long gone, and now people are 'cold as ice'." Hehe, Teng Sanshi's eyes have grown to the top of his head, and no one in the rivers and lakes can enter his eyes. ”

"Why?"

"Today is different from the past, Teng Sanshi relies on his close relationship with Xiao Zhirou and Yun Chaiyue, and the three of them are enough to look down on the world and crisscross the rivers and lakes. Of course, there is no fear, and he even disdains to play with us. ”

"So, you guys put a hot face on a cold ass this time, and you didn't ask anything?"

"Shi Zhenshan, your mouth is really vicious. Knowing that our bamboo basket is empty, you just stand and talk without backache. Leng Yiyi said unhappily, "Teng Sanshi is cunning and cunning, asking and answering from beginning to end, and it is full of some innocuous words, what do you expect us to ask?"

"The most important thing is that they have pierced the 'window paper' today, and the Xiangxi Teng clan will no longer be attached to anyone from now on, let alone look down on anyone. Song Yu smiled bitterly, "The words are beating on the Golden Sword Dock all the time, and the meaning of parting ways has been revealed, and it almost came out of Teng Sanshi's mouth." Let us say all the good things, but people don't even look at them. At this point, what can we say? If the relationship between the two families is completely deadlocked, how can we go back and explain to the dock master?"

"Could it be that you can explain to the dock master when you return empty-handed?" Shi Zhenshan pursed his mouth and said bluntly, "According to what you said, what is the difference between us and Teng Sanshi if they don't have a fight? If you go back and defend like this, not only will you not get the dock master's understanding, but you will be laughed at by others." I've heard...... Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er are becoming more and more valued by the dock master. Even Ji Hou and Fuyin were treated leniently by the dock master. In the long run, I'm afraid that Jinjianwu will no longer have a place for us elders. Could it be ...... Are you going to follow my example and Wen Lian and run to the garrison camp to get an errand?

"What, are you afraid that we will rob you of your job?" Leng Yiyi teased.

"Shi Moujie is a rough person, and he has some words...... Maybe only I dare to say. Shi Zhenshan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Of course, the most important thing for the dock master is the plan to restore the country. However, the Mongol iron cavalry conquered the city and conquered the territory, invincible, and has always been brave and good at fighting for decades, and it can almost be said that it is invincible in the world. Today, Mongolia has monopolized seven points in the world, and the Great Song Dynasty, which is in a corner of peace, is also struggling and precarious. Under these circumstances, we want to reclaim the territory of the Jin Kingdom from the strong Mongols...... To put it mildly, the dock master is no longer young, and his ambition may only last for another decade or two. Dare to ask the two, within twenty years...... Is it possible for us to overcome all odds and recover Dajin? Even if it is possible, how sure are you that you will survive to that day?"

"Shi Zhenshan, what do you mean by this?" Song Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily, "Could it be that you are shaken by the great cause of the restoration of the Wu Lord?"

"Of course not!" Shi Zhenshan said with a grim expression, "I mean that the great cause of restoring the country will not happen overnight, or even ...... Not a generation can do it. During this period, the accumulation of soldiers, horses, money and food is like spreading branches, no matter how lush, it is inseparable from the support of the foundation. For us, the Dock Master is the biggest foundation. Where is he? Where is the core of power. Maybe one day in the future, the dock master will personally lead a large army to fight east and west. But for now...... Jinjianwu is still a top priority. If we, the elders, are squeezed out by Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er, who can guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to blind the hearts of the dock masters?

"This ......"

"Therefore, whether it is the garrison camp or the Golden Sword Dock, it must be our own people who control the power. Shi Zhenshan said impassionedly, "Right now, the dock master has three errands, if Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er, Ji Hou and Fuyin can take the opportunity to make contributions and return triumphantly, only you will be disgraced and sunk in the sand...... Not to mention the shame, it is even more lost to them in front of everyone. At that time, even if the dock master wants to protect you, he will not be able to open his mouth. ”

"Brother Shi's words...... It is also regarded as affectionate and heartfelt. Song Yu gradually comprehended Shi Zhenshan's intentions, his cold expression suddenly softened a lot, and he said bitterly, "I can't hide it, Ding Ao has stolen my limelight in front of the dock master more than once." And the dock owner ...... It seems that he appreciates him quite a lot. ”

"The dock master does not appreciate Ding Ao, but appreciates people who have the ability. Leng Yiyi interjected, "We have followed the dock master for many years, how can we not know his temperament? Jian Zhong and Xu Guangsheng are like this. The love of the dock owner, even if it is not the first in the world, is also the second in the world. ”

"Because of this, you can't make the slightest mistake, especially when you're competing with 'outsiders'. ”

"Do you think we don't want to share the worries of the dock master?" Song Yu said indignantly, "Helplessly, Teng Sanshi is arrogant and rude, stubborn, and doesn't give us a chance to mediate at all." ”

"He won't give you a chance, won't you find a chance for yourself?"

"What do you mean?" Looking at Shi Zhenshan, who pretended to be profound, Leng Yiyi raised his eyebrows, and said suspiciously, "Could it be ...... Do you have any news about Tengsanshi?"

"Nope!"

"You ......"

"Don't worry!" Shi Zhenshan waved his hand to interrupt the angry Leng Yiyi, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of secretive sneer, "Although I don't have any news of Teng Sanshi, I have obtained a secret that is even more terrifying than Teng Sanshi. I believe that if you tell this secret to the dockmaster, he will not only not hold you accountable for your misdeeds, but will reward you heavily. ”

Shi Zhenshan's trickery immediately aroused the interest of Song Yu and Leng Yiyi, and the two subconsciously sat up straight, looked at the triumphant Shi Zhenshan with expectant eyes, and couldn't wait to ask: "What secret?"

"I grabbed a 'fine work' today. This person has a different accent from us, and he is a fresh face, and he sneakily inquires about the news of the rivers and lakes in the Shaozhou gambling house, and his brother sees that he is suspicious, so he is arrested and interrogated. I didn't know if I didn't try it, but I was shocked at the first trial, this person was really not simple. ”

"Fine work?" Song Yu frowned, "Where did the fine work come from?"

"Outside the gates. ”

"Guanwai?" Leng Yiyi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"This kid was also a tough bone at the beginning, and he was tortured by his brothers and still jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, and didn't say a word about the rest. At this point, Shi Zhenshan's face showed a bloodthirsty smile, "But no matter how hard his bones are, they can't be hard enough for my methods." In the end, Lao Tzu chopped off four of his fingers, cut off one ear, broke one of his tendons, and gouged out another eye, finally pried his mouth open. ”

"This ......"

"This person is from Taizhou, known as 'Taizhou Hongfu'. ”

"Taizhou Hongfu?" Song Yu and Leng Yiyi glanced at each other, both of them at a loss.

"That's right! It's 'Taizhou Hongfu'. Shi Zhenshan slapped the table, as if he suddenly realized, "Their boss is named Hong Temple, and it is said that he is famous outside the Guan, and he is also a strong party. ”

"Hongsi?" Song Yu looked stunned, "We don't seem to know this person, what are you talking about...... What do we have to do with it?"

"It doesn't matter if you know Hong Si or not, what matters is where he is now?"

"Isn't it Taizhou?"

"No, he's in the place where you just 'hit the wall', the Xiangxi Teng clan. ”
