Chapter 18: Conversation

Jia Shenyi asked, "What makes the eldest brother so worried?" ”

Kang Biao took another sip of wine, and said heavily: "Since the death of the first emperor and the accession of the young lord to the throne, the Empress Dowager Liu has been in control of the government. What's even more infuriating is that they also forcibly forced away a generation of Ming Xiangkou Zhun and made him die in a foreign country, which is really difficult to write and extremely miserable. It was not until the death of Empress Dowager Liu a few years ago that the emperor was able to officially govern himself and began to reuse the eighth prince. ”

Jia Shenyi said angrily: "I have long heard that Ding Wei has misled the country, but I didn't expect him to force a generation of famous ministers to death, I really should kill him and eliminate harm for the people." Fortunately, now the eighth prince is out of the mountain. ”

Kang Biao waved his hand and said: "Kou Guogong is sad and crying, but the imperial court is now a house leak that happened to rain overnight. ”

Jia Shenyi asked, "What are the external worries?"

At this moment, Xiao Er knocked on the door outside and said, "Guest officer, the wine you asked for has been delivered." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly got up to open the door and let Xiao Er in, and after he put down the good wine, he continued to drink and talk with Kang Biao.

Jia Shenyi beckoned Kang Biao to eat and said, "Big brother, you continue." ”

I saw Kang Biao take a sip of wine and said: "Brother, I don't know anything, although the eighth prince is now reused by the emperor, how do you know that the west is unstable again, and a Li Yuanhao pops up, he has been making waves recently, making it difficult for the emperor to sleep and eat." ”

Jia Shenyi said: "I have also heard of this Li Yuanhao, I heard that this person is cruel and fierce, courageous, and extremely ambitious, no wonder the emperor is uneasy." ”

Kang Biao said again: "This time, the Eighth Prince invited me to discuss the matter, because I heard that Li Yuanhao was frequently stirring up trouble in the northwest, so let's think about how to deal with it." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly asked, "What did Li Yuanhao pick again?" ”

Kang Biao scolded indignantly: "They are all barbarians who have been taught repeatedly. He first ordered all the people in the territory to be bald, and those who refused to accept it were killed; then he abandoned the surname Zhao given by the emperor of our dynasty and reused the surname of his party, which is called Wei Ming's name; and then he set up his own era name and wanted to clear the relationship with the monarch and ministers of our Great Song Dynasty; now he even ordered people to create their own writing, so that they could completely get rid of the control of our dynasty and prepare to establish themselves as kings. ”

Jia Shenyi said worriedly: "It seems that he is preparing to fight with my Great Song." ”

Kang Biao also looked worried, and said: "This battle is inevitable, but the emperor is worried." ”

Jia Shenyi said again: "What is the emperor worried about, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it." ”

Kang Biao sneered twice and said, "You, you are not an official in the court, and you don't know the difficulties of the court. ”

He took a bite of food and said, "We originally suggested that we strike first and send troops to suppress it. But the eighth prince said that the emperor was merciful and would not agree to send troops first. So he suggested that he should increase the troops in the northwest first, and when Li Yuanhao had a move, he would send a general to lead the troops to fight. ”

Jia Shenyi said: "This is also a good way." ”

But Kang Biao sighed and said, "The idea is good, why don't there be any generals in the army." ”

Jia Shenyi was surprised.

Kang Biao continued: "It turns out that Cao Bin and Cao Wei, father and son, have always been guarding the northwest there, but General Cao Wei also died a few years ago, and his sons are useless and unable to continue. The eighth prince originally suggested that Fan Zhong should be drowned, but at this time, he and Prime Minister Lu Yijian were arguing endlessly, and there were constant conflicts. ”

Jia Shenyi sighed with emotion: "It's really sad that a huge country can't find a general who leads the troops." ”

Kang Biao said again: "The policy of suppressing martial arts in Changwen was originally a rule set by Emperor Taizu, but I didn't expect that it would be difficult to find it now." ”

There were no generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was no phase in the Southern Song Dynasty, so it came from this.

At this time, Jia Shenyi said: "Could it be that the imperial court is helpless against that Li Yuanhao." ”

Kang Biao shook his head and said, "Not really, I mentioned a person to the Eighth Prince." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Kang Biao said: "It's Fenzhou Thorn-faced Wufu Di Qing." It's just that this person is only in his twenties, and the eighth prince is worried that this person is too young and has not yet recommended it to the emperor. ”

Jia Shenyi said: "I have also heard of this person, and they all praise him for his courage and strategy, but I have never seen him." ”

Kang Biao picked up the wine glass and drank with him again, and said, "Don't mention these troubles, tell me what you found when you came to Ezhou?"

Jia Shenyi replied: "I didn't find any useful clues. ”

He suddenly remembered Qin Lianfeng who he met in the hotel that day, and hurriedly asked Kang Biao: "Big brother, I have something to think of, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

Kang Biao said: "You say it and listen to it." ”

Jia Shenyi said: "Have you ever heard of Junzi Pool?"

Kang Biao thought for a while and said, "I haven't heard of it, what's wrong?"

Jia Shenyi said: "A few days ago, I met a young man in Ezhou City, his swordsmanship is wonderful, his sword moves are fast, ruthless and accurate, and he claims to be from Junzi Chi, called Qin Lianfeng. ”

Kang Biao said: "Qin Lianfeng?"

Jia Shenyi asked, "What's the matter, Brother Kang has heard of this person?"

Kang Biao nodded and said, "When I came to Ezhou, I met a young man named Qin Lianfeng in a foot shop on the way, and he also had a young girl with him. ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly asked: "Is this son wearing a gold-rimmed white robe, a gold crown, a handsome appearance, and a sword in his hand." ”

Kang Biao nodded yes.

Jia Shenyi said: "It's this person, big brother, can you see that he has made a move?"

Kang Biao said: "That's not true, but even if you praise his swordsmanship, it must be very powerful." ”

This Jia Shenyi looked at Kang Biao and said seriously: "Big brother, I mean his swordsmanship is very similar to the rumored meteor swordsmanship. ”

Kang Biao put down the wine glass in surprise and said, "You read that right. ”

Jia Shenyi nodded and said, "Of course, but I just doubt it, after all, none of us have seen the Meteor Sword Technique with our own eyes." ”

Kang Biao said: "Yes, there are so many swordsmen in the rivers and lakes, how many of them can we see." ”

Jia Shenyi said hatefully: "Isn't Xuezhi's revenge avenged?" ”

At this time, Kang Biao took another sip of wine and said, "Speaking of Xuezhi's death, I think the recent sneak attack of the Wang Gate is a bit strange." ”

Jia Shenyi hurriedly said, "What did Big Brother Fei find?"

Kang Biao said: "You still remember that I once told you that I always suspected that there was a conspiracy behind Xuezhi's killing. ”

Jia Shenyi nodded.

Kang Biao said again: "Now that the royal gate is attacking the Aoki Gang, I think of one thing. Will the royal family use Xuezhi's death to snatch the territory of the Aoki Gang in Ezhou, so as to achieve the goal of dominating Ezhou. ”

When Jia Shenyi heard this, he said excitedly: "You mean that Xuezhi's death may be related to the royal family?"

Kang Biao nodded in acquiescence.

Jia Shenyi said again: "But over the years, the Wang Sect and the Aoki Gang have been fighting, and this time they took advantage of the chaos to succeed in a sneak attack. ”

Kang Biao shook his head and said, "I don't think so, I feel that the royal family is premeditated." In fact, the royal gate can start a sneak attack during your funeral, but he didn't, but waited until you resigned as the gang leader and the Aoki gang was in civil strife, which shows that the royal gate still has scruples about you. But why does he care about you? I don't think he's afraid of your sword, he's afraid of your leadership. As long as you are gone, the Aoki Gang is not under your leadership, and in a short period of time, there will be civil strife in the Aoki Gang, and the dragons will be leaderless. And only when the Aoki Gang is in chaos can they be fully sure that the sneak attack will be successful, and they can completely drive the Aoki Gang out of Ezhou. Of course, it is also important to note that you have been suspicious of tracking down the Northern Water Fairy. ”

Jia Shenyi said: "Could it be that the murderer is not her." ”

Kang Biao explained to him again: "At present, judging from all indications, it is unlikely that the murderer is Beishui Xiangu, but the only thing she can't get rid of is that she can use meteor swordsmanship. If you think about it again, she has no grievances with you, and she hasn't shown up in the rivers and lakes for so many years, let alone has any holidays with Xuezhi, and what good is it for her to form a bond with the famous Aoki Gang. To sum up, I suspect that the killer deliberately diverted your attention to her and then reaped the benefits. ”

Jia Shenyi suddenly realized at this time, and said: "In this way, it was my recklessness that led to the chaotic situation of the Aoki Gang, and the murderer still gets away with it." ”

Kang Biao did not speak in agreement.

Jia Shenyi asked again: "But how can the royal gate know the meteor sword technique?"

Kang Biao stood up and said, "At first, I was also puzzled, until you just talked about Qin Lianfeng's wonderful swordsmanship, I thought that maybe there were people in the royal gate who were related to the Northern Water Fairy Gu. ”

Jia Shenyi looked at Kang Biao with a firm look in his eyes, and now that he had the target to pursue, he felt much more comfortable.

Jia Shenyi said: "After your reminder, it reminds me of the young man in the four jewels of the royal family, and his swordsmanship is really powerful." ”

Kang Biao said: "It seems that Wang Zhixing has tried his courage in recent years and trained a lot of talents, but now he has accumulated a lot of money and easily driven the Aoki Gang out of Ezhou." It seems that we all despised him before. ”

Jia Shenyi took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that you are going to fight with the royal family." ”

Qin Lianfeng took Meiyin and rushed to Luoyang by car all the way. After many inquiries, he finally found the mark of his senior sister Li at the door of an inn in the city, and he hurriedly took Meiyin into the inn.

After asking the shopkeeper, he confirmed that the senior sister and the others did live upstairs, so he asked the man to take him upstairs to meet the senior sister.

It turned out that Qin Lianfeng did not come out alone this time, but came out with his senior sister and senior sister to do errands.

He knocked on the room where his senior sister lived, and when he saw that his senior sister and sister were all there, he hurriedly went in and shouted cordially: "Senior sister, senior sister, I have kept you waiting for a long time." ”

I saw that the woman called Senior Sister was about thirty years old, slender and beautiful, but her temperament was a little cold and glamorous, which made it difficult for people to get close.
