In the evening, Song Yu followed the address told by Jin Fuyu and came to the Zhongtian Inn located in the downtown area of Dongcheng, Jiangling Prefecture.

Zhongtian Inn is one of the most luxurious and lively inns in the Gangneung area. Its name "Zhongtian" is taken from the last two sentences of the poem Du Fu's "Wangjiangling Narrowness": "The green mountains are in their eyes, but they look at the gorge in the sky".

When Song Yu walked through the bustling and crowded night market and came to the Zhongtian Inn, which was full of guests and traffic, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "The dock owner has always been low-key, why would his 'friend' make an appointment with him in such a mixed place?"

"This guest officer, are you sharpening or staying in a hotel?"

When Song Yu stepped into the door of the inn with a puzzled heart, a guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks greeted him with a smirk, and before Song Yu could respond, the man had already taken the initiative to pull out the linen cloth from his waist and dust off his boots for him.

"I came to find a friend who lives in room C. Song Yu looked around the bustling and noisy inn lobby and said casually, "He invited me here." ”

"Tianzi No. C room...... But is the guest Uncle Jin?" the man asked thoughtfully.

"Exactly. As he spoke, Song Yu casually threw two taels of silver to the guy and said, "I'm tired of the little second brother leading the way." ”

"Come on, uncle, please upstairs!"

Seeing that Qian was open, the man's attitude towards Song Yu became more and more respectful, and he nodded and led him straight to the second floor of the inn.

"Bang, bang!"

"Guest officer, Uncle Jin has arrived!" Walking to the door, the man cautiously shouted to the brightly lit room.

"Send ten more plates of mutton and two jars of good wine, and settle it with the house money in the future. A slightly "charming" answer came from the room.

To Song Yu's surprise, this charming voice did not seem to come from a woman, but more like a man.

"The little one is going to prepare!" the guy agreed, gently pushed open the door, and made a gesture of invitation to Song Yu.

Although the mind is apprehensive, but once it comes, it is safe. Song Yu didn't hesitate any longer, and stepped into the steaming room filled with the smell of wine.

At this moment, a slender figure sits behind a smoky copper pot, and from time to time a few mouth-watering pieces of mutton are sandwiched from the boiling thick soup, and they eat with relish.

"The person I invited is Jin Fuyu, why are you here?"

When Song Yu slowly bypassed the copper pot and narrowed his eyes to distinguish this person's appearance through the layers of mist, the "charming and enchanting" voice sounded again.

With that, the man took the wine glass and drank it all, let out a satisfied burp from his mouth, then threw the chopsticks on the table, and turned his head to look at Song Yu, who was suspicious.

"Is that you?"

Looking at each other, Song Yudeng recognized the identity of this person, who was actually a disciple of Peach Blossom Sword Island in the past, and a eunuch of the Great Song Dynasty today, Ding Qinghong.

Although Song Yu and Ding Qinghong knew each other, they were not familiar with each other.

"Song Gongzi, please take a seat!"

Facing the frightened Song Yu, Ding Qinghong's reaction was surprisingly calm, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the empty stool next to the table, greeting enthusiastically: "It's getting late, presumably Song Gongzi hasn't eaten yet." Ding is the east tonight, your Excellency must not be polite. ”

"Is the friend the dock master said are you?" Song Yu sat down suspiciously, looked up and down at Ding Qinghong, who was yin and yang, and said suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"Hasn't Song Gongzi heard of 'If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing'?" Ding Qinghong asked rhetorically, "There was a surprise attack in Yunya Town, and Ding escaped from the pile of dead people by luck, it should be regarded as a great disaster and not dying, right? ”

"What do you mean?" Song Yu's heart tightened, and he still pretended to be calm on the surface, "Song is a shallow learner and can't understand Your Excellency's high-level talk. As...... You and I get straight to the point, and we have nothing to say bluntly. ”

"Ding was sincere, but he didn't expect Song Gongzi to pretend to be confused, could it be that he was young and immature?" Ding Qinghong teased, "Who is behind the bloody case in Yunya Town, others may not know, but Ding is clear." ”

Facing Ding Qinghong's provocative gaze, Song Yu was expressionless and didn't say a word.

"I don't know if my life should be broken, or if God blesses me. That night, I had just fallen asleep but suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and I had to go outside in the dark to pay respects, but I heard a big secret in the thatched house. Ding Qinghong sneered, "It turns out that the Lord of Jinwu has long had the ambition to restore the country, and he has hidden 100,000 soldiers in Jiangnan to wait for an opportunity. Unexpectedly, Song Meng's peace and relatives made the originally favorable situation take a turn for the worse, so he sent people to attack Yunya Town, intending to intercept and kill Chen and Zhao Xin, thus destroying the friendship between the two countries. ”

Ding Qinghong's words made Song Yu's heart tremble, the blood in his body seemed to freeze instantly, and his palms couldn't help sweating.

"Do you know who accidentally leaked the secret so much?" Ding Qinghong deliberately sold Guanzi, "It is the two banner masters of the Jade Dragon Palace of the Tianshan Mountains in the past, Ding Ao and Dong Xiao'er. If I hadn't been lucky enough to hear their conversation and escape from Yunya Town before they could do anything, I'm afraid I would have died under the covers like those Mongols. ”

At this moment, Song Yu's heart went up and down, and a fierce murderous intent couldn't help flashing in his eyes.

"I heard...... Your Excellency has now become a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is thriving in the palace......"

"Click!"

Before Song Yu's words fell, Ding Qinghong's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed by him.

Seeing this scene, Song Yu couldn't help frowning slightly, and a vague and inexplicable meaning of thought appeared between his eyebrows.

"Don't mention the imperial court in front of me, let alone mention the imperial palace in front of me!" Ding Qinghong changed his previous composure, revealing a sinister appearance of gritting his teeth, "They deceived me too much, sooner or later I will ask them to pay for their blood debts!"

It seems that Ding Qinghong was obedient to being betrayed by Xifu and forced to become a eunuch by Wan Ling Mountain, but in fact, deep down he has always regarded them as enemies and hated them to the bone marrow.

Looking at Ding Qinghong, whose hair was upside down and his eyes were cracked, Song Yu was silent, carefully observed, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually became a little more steady.

"Everything is fate, and it is not up to anyone. With the change of Ding Qinghong's attitude, Song Yu also changed his indifference just now, took the initiative to pour him a new glass of wine, and comforted, "Since Your Excellency doesn't want to bring up the old matter again, let's not talk about it." ”

"Now that the evidence is ironclad, Song Gongzi will no longer deny the matter of Yunya Town, right?" Ding Qinghong calmed down and asked Song Yu again.

"This ......" After a moment of silence, Song Yu suddenly changed his words and asked instead of answering, "Yes or no, and what does it have to do with today's meeting?"

"As I said earlier, if you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing. Since it was you who caused me to almost die in Yunya Town, so 'Houfu'...... Naturally, I should ask you for it. ”

"Oh?" Song Yu asked with interest, "So, Your Excellency is here to collect debts from us?"

"Don't say it so badly. Ding Qinghong took the wine glass in Song Yu's hand and said with a smile, "I'm here to seek you to seek prosperity and wealth." ”

"What do you mean?" Song Yu's face changed, and he said bluntly, "What do you want to do?"

"I know Jin Fuyu's ambitions, and I know why you attacked Yunya Town. My purpose is simple, to join you in the conspiracy of great things. ”

"Join us?" Song Yu pondered repeatedly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be ignorant, "Do you want to take refuge in Jin Jianwu?"

"Song Gongzi doesn't have to pretend, you know what I mean. After that, Ding Qinghong changed his words and said jokingly, "I just don't know, can you call the shots in this matter?"

"Why?" Song Yu didn't respond to Ding Qinghong's sarcasm, still tempting himself, "If you talk about glory and wealth, Your Excellency is now a brocade of clothes and jade food, and you have everything, so why take the risk of changing your flag?"

"First, the Great Song Dynasty is not in danger, and even the emperor will not be able to live for long, not to mention us subordinates? In the end, instead of rewarding me for my deeds and fulfilling my promise, they gave me as a 'gift' to the eunuch of Wan Lingshan. I was abused in every way, and I was humiliated so much that I became the demon I am today, who is not like a human or a ghost. If I don't avenge this revenge, I am ashamed of my ancestors, my teachers, and even more ashamed of myself. I want to overthrow the Great Song Dynasty with my own hands and kill everyone in the Lin'an court. If you don't get your wish, I swear not to be a person!"

Although it was a few words, Song Yu was enough to feel the seeds of hatred buried deep in Ding Qinghong's heart, as well as the monstrous anger that could not be extinguished unless he started killing.

"I am very sympathetic to Your Excellency's plight, but ......" Song Yu's tone froze, and then his expression straightened, and he asked unceremoniously, "But what do these things have to do with my Jin Jianwu? Why do we accept you? Is it just the 'secret' you just said? Do you think anyone will believe it?"

"I'm not smart, but I'm not stupid, and I'm not stupid enough to threaten the famous Jin Fuyu with a 'truth' with no evidence. Ding Qinghong laughed at himself, "I understand what Song Gongzi means, you just want to know what benefits I can bring to Jin Jianwu, don't you?"

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Your Excellency should understand this truth. ”

"I can act as the internal response of the Great Song Dynasty for you. Song Gongzi just said, I am now a celebrity in front of the emperor, if you accept me, I guarantee that the dock master can know the emperor's mind and the next move of the court before anyone else. ”

"This ......"

"You have gone to great lengths to sabotage and make peace because you are afraid that Song Meng will strike the army and make peace. Ding Qinghong said meaningfully, "Because once Song Meng cultivates peace, the Jinwu Lord will not have the opportunity to reap the benefits." In other words, your restoration will be far away. ”

"You ......"

"Without me, you can only passively launch a surprise attack on the way to send off your relatives. But if you have my help, you will be able to sabotage the peace talks between the two countries before the Song and Mongolian peace talks. In this way, you will not only have more chances, but also better chances of winning. ”

I have to say that Ding Qinghong's conditions really moved Song Yu, but because he was only ordered to come to meet him, he did not get Jin Fuyu's clear attitude on this matter in advance, so he did not dare to make a rash decision.

For a moment, there was silence in the room. The two of them had their own thoughts and hesitated with each other.

"Jin is very interested in Ding Shaoxia's proposal, and is willing to be frank and honest with Your Excellency, and have a long talk. ”

Suddenly, there was a clear laugh outside the door, which made the two stunned.

The door was left and right, and the smiling Jin Fuyu walked in slowly, carrying a plate of mutton and a jar of wine in both hands.

"Two guest officers, the wine and meat you want are here! It's rare to meet a confidant with wine, and you will definitely drink heartily tonight, and you won't get drunk or go home. ”

......
