Chapter 90: The Turning Point of History

Compared with Wanyan Zongwang and Jin Wushu, Wanyan Wulu's personality is a bit compromised. has both the meticulousness of Wanyan Zongwang and the straightforwardness of the Golden Vulture Technique, but she is definitely not a fool.

So she knew that she would use the lies made up by Bai Sheng to attack Xiao Feng in order to provoke Cai Jing and drive Xiao Feng out with her, or even find the disaster of killing herself. In her opinion, as long as she can die with Xiao Feng, it is worth it.

"Presumptuous!"

"Lulu, what are you messing around?"

Before Cai Jing could speak, the woman in black and Bai Sheng had already spoken at the same time. Cai Jing himself was the last to speak, he looked at Yan Wulu with a smile, and said: "My sister-in-law is not in harmony, and it is excusable." ”

Cai Jing was right. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law do not look at each other and provoke each other, which is a fine tradition in China for 5,000 years, in addition to another Chinese characteristic is the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But the old woman in black didn't see it that way, because she knew Xiao Feng's origin. To be able to become the descendant of Ouyang Muye, the number one master of the Liao Kingdom, how could Xiao Feng be the daughter of a peasant in the Song Kingdom? So she followed up and said: "Taishi, let Madame Bai stay, I believe she must have something important to state." ”

If there was anyone present who didn't believe that Xiao Feng and Bai Sheng were husband and wife, it was the woman in black. She thinks that even if the husband and wife relationship between Bai Xiao and the two is true, it can only mean that Bai Sheng concealed his true identity, but it cannot mean that Xiao Feng is also from the Song Kingdom.

"Huh?" Cai Jing was slightly surprised, but he had always believed in the judgment of the woman in black, so he said, "That's fine, Mr. Bai, please take the first step with Sister Ling." ”

"Lulu, don't make trouble, be obedient, let's go out first, and wait for your sister-in-law outside the door. Bai Sheng half-truthfully persuaded Yan Wulu, and then said in her ear: "Don't make trouble for me, I know what you want to do, that's not okay! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed her arm and pulled her out the door, half-dragging and half-dragging her. Li Qingzhao also followed behind to the door, and at the same time came out of the two beautiful maids.

"Bai Gongzi, or, why don't we go to the food court first?" one of the maids suggested.

Bai Sheng looked at the two maids blocking Cai Jing's door, knowing that they didn't want to let themselves eavesdrop on anything, and said in his heart, Lao Tzu still needs to stand so close if he wants to hear it? ”

Before he walked out of the courtyard, he had already heard Xiao Feng say in the room: "Master Cai, Emperor Tianzuo has entrusted me to greet you. ”

"What?" Cai Jing's voice carried a hint of panic, "You are indeed from Liao, why did you see me in this way? Don't you know that this will put me in danger?"

For most of the first half of his life, Cai Jing served as an official in the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, successively serving as the governor or governor of Jiangning Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture, Yizhou Prefecture (now CD), Hangzhou Prefecture, and Daimyo Prefecture.

Later, Zhao Ji ascended the throne, was recommended by Tong Guan, and became an official in the middle school, and since then he has entered the court. But one of the feats that led to his rise to prominence was to envoy to the Liao State.

It is said that as a literati, talking on paper and playing politics are all necessary qualities, and almost everyone is good. However, there are really few people who dare to send envoys to Fanbang.

Because the connivance of the literati in the Great Song Dynasty has reached the level of doting, for the scholars, as long as they do not rebel, no matter what crime they commit, they will not be sentenced to death, even if you point to the emperor's nose and scold, at most it will be a thousand miles of exile. But it's different when you go to an alien country, it's a job that will be cut off your head.

When going to Liaoguo to negotiate this kind of thing, there are really few people who dare to go. Or there are those who dare to go, but their status in the Great Song Dynasty is too low to represent the emperor of the Song Kingdom. However, Cai Jing dared to recommend himself and take risks, and was the only one among middle and high-level officials.

However, his recklessness is worthless, because he betrayed the interests of the Great Song Dynasty during his mission, and who wouldn't pay compensation for land cession?

Then he returned with glory, ostensibly to contribute to the peace between Song and Liao, but in fact it was to seek benefits for Liao. However, Song Huizong thought that he Cai Jing had made great contributions, and promoted him to be the ruler of a country, and since then he has been on the rise.

Strictly speaking, Cai Jing has a handle in the hands of the high-level of Liao, because as long as someone in the high-level of Liaoguo reveals the truth of that negotiation, even if he Cai Jing is not killed, he will inevitably be swept to the end. Therefore, Cai Jing has always been afraid of Liao.

Of course, Xiao Feng didn't want to threaten Cai Jing with this, unless Cai Jing was clearly against Da Liao. Therefore, he said respectfully: "The Taishi is responsible, but we are also helpless, we must meet you as soon as possible, General Yelu Dashi has been inviting the Taishi a few days ago, but unfortunately the Taishi did not give us a chance." ”

Cai Jing frowned, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I know?"

Xiao Feng was also surprised: "That's strange, our people are in contact with Zhai Qian, didn't Zhai Qian tell you?"

Cai Jing's face was gloomy, and he sighed for a while before he smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this first, anyway, now that you have seen me, let's talk about it, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to answer, he continued: "Is it true that your Tianzuo Emperor also wants to raise the New Year's coin? This is not easy to do, right now the Western Xia is angry with the officials because of his insatiable greed and lion opening his mouth, we are about to levy the Western Xia, and this military budget has not yet been raised......

Xiao Feng shook his head and smiled: "Taishi, you think too much, I'm not here for this, if we really want to talk about the New Year's coin, we can even consider giving the Great Song Dynasty some reduction, in order to deepen the friendship between the two countries." ”

"Huh?" Cai Jing was in a trance, when did Liao Guo become so easy to talk to?

Xiao Feng said slowly: "We just want you to stand firm, Taishi, and continue to maintain the relationship between the two countries from being damaged!"

Cai Jing raised his eyebrows: "Sabotage? Who dares to sabotage the relations between Song and Liao? Isn't he afraid of provoking a war and being beheaded? It is really bold! The old man has always taken it as his duty to maintain the good-neighborliness and friendship between Song and Liao, and you should know this." ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "As for who wants to destroy the relationship between our two countries, you will know when they come to you, and at that time, please ask the Taishi to honor what you said today." In addition, if I want to see the Master in the future, I hope the Master will be able to make it easier. ”

Cai Jing said: "I can only say that as long as you are not in the team of the envoy of the Liao State, I can give it to you, and you can come to my house as a guest at any time." By the way, are you and that Bai Sheng really husband and wife?"

Xiao Feng didn't answer immediately, thinking that if Bai Sheng was really Li Qingzhao's cousin, then it would be more beneficial for him to live in Bianjing for a long time as Bai Sheng's wife, and he could enter and leave the Taishi Mansion at any time, so he nodded: "It's really true." ”

Outside the courtyard gate, Wan Yan Wulu saw that Bai Sheng was just admiring the scenery around, and couldn't help asking: "You said that you would help me with ideas, but you said it." ”

Bai Sheng glanced at him, meaning that he didn't see the two maids next to him, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will definitely tell you when it's convenient." ”

In fact, Bai Sheng really didn't intend to help Yan Wulu. The result of helping the people of the Jin Kingdom was the destruction of the Liao State, and then the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty, which is a historical process known to the people of the earth in later generations, you don't have to learn history, just watch the TV series or martial arts novels about Water Margin and Yue Fei.

It was just a few words before and after, Xiao Feng said goodbye, and looked at Wanyan Wulu with a victorious attitude, "Let's go, husband, let's go to dinner." ”

Wan Yan Wulu was puzzled, whether Bai Sheng and Xiao Feng were a fake husband and wife? If they were really husband and wife, and they still expected Bai Sheng's help, wouldn't it be stupid?

Bai Sheng didn't care what Yan Wulu was thinking, he only enthusiastically hugged Xiao Feng's fragrant shoulder, took the lead in moving, shook off Li Qingzhao and the other four daughters-in-law, and then whispered extremely fiercely: "Where is the antidote?"

Xiao Feng smiled like a flower, took out a vial from his sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into Bai Sheng's hand, "Thank you for helping me, give you the last three grains, you can still save one Guo Sheng, one Yan Po Xi." ”

"What, only three, what are you fooling me!" Bai Sheng was immediately furious, if what Xiao Feng said was true, then Guo Sheng's seven brothers were all saved. At this point, he hadn't finished considering the dozen lives of Yan Zongwang and the Golden Vulture and the Golden Dome Gate warriors.

Xiao Feng said aggrievedly: "Why did I fool you? You think this antidote is blown by the wind? I can't prepare either poison or antidote, it was all left to my master by the original surnamed Ding, and he said that the amount of this antidote was far from enough. He said, "If you want to kill you, why save it?" If you don't want to kill you, why don't you just poison it?"

She didn't lie, this poison is indeed poisonous enough, only a very small dose dissolved in the liquid can cause many people to be poisoned, but the antidote can only be a pill to save a victim. In this world, it is easy to harm people, but it is difficult to save people.

Bai Sheng was silent, he felt that Xiao Feng's remarks were indeed reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Guo Sheng's seven brothers, in addition, he felt that if he used these three antidotes on Guo Sheng, Pan Jinlian and Yan Poxi, he would not be able to help Yan Zongwang.

Thinking of this, he let go of the hand on Xiao Feng's shoulder, turned around and looked at Yan Wulu, only to see Yan Wulu walking at the end of the group, looking unhappy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It is conceivable that if she returned to the inn to find her brother and brother in a coma again, she would be very anxious, and when she finally saw these two relatives pass away, she would be in great pain.

He shook his head, wanting to throw these sympathies out of his mind, did Wanyan Zong Wanglun get him to sympathize?

He didn't know that as long as Wanyan Zongwang died of the poison of withered blood, then the history of Jin's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty would be rewritten, because Wanyan Zongwang was precisely the commander of the Jin State who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. From this point of view, then Wanyan Zongwang's death is a good thing at present, at least for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom.

What he didn't know was that the reason why history had a turning point here was precisely because of his soul piercing. If he is still the same Bai Sheng, then he will only succumb to Ruan Xiaowu's fists and kicks and obediently scrape together money to pay off his debts. But he won't meet Li Qingzhao, let alone take Xiao Feng to clear the customs in Tangyin. In that case, there would be no such thing as Yan Zongwang being poisoned.
