Chapter 61: The Great Husband
Looking at the sixteen horsemen slowly heading south in front of him, Guo Sheng's eyes were full of doubts, and he turned his head and asked, "Brother, where are these people coming from? Why are they so arrogant?"
Bai Sheng sighed and said in a deep voice: "They are from the Jin Kingdom, we can't afford to provoke them." ”
Guo Sheng was surprised and said: "Jin Country, how can there be a Jin Country in the world? Why haven't I heard of it, why can't I provoke it, are they very powerful?" He has traveled south and north to sell mercury for many years, but he has never heard of such a country as Jin Country in the world.
Bai Sheng turned his face and stared at Guo Sheng for a long time before he said suspiciously: "Are you sure you haven't heard of the Jin Kingdom? How could you not have heard of it?" Their emperor is called Wanyan Aguta, their nation is Jurchen, they are very fierce nomads, and the Liao State can't beat their ......."
Speaking of which, Bai Sheng shut up himself. He has not studied any historical knowledge, but only based on the content of "Water Margin", he can know that the Liao State is obviously still a good existence today, and he is still waiting for Song Jiang to go to conquer it, so how can it be said that the Jin State destroyed the Liao State? Therefore, it seems that it should not be said that the Liao State cannot defeat the Jin State, because there is no way to cite examples.
In fact, in this historical time period, although Wanyan Aguta has established the Jin Kingdom, it has indeed not been announced to the world. It is still in the secret preparation stage, so there are very few people in the world who know about the Jin Kingdom, and Guo Sheng certainly has no way of hearing about it.
So Guo Sheng could only answer Bai Sheng's popular science with a puzzled expression.
Since he didn't understand, there was no need to say more, Bai Sheng changed the topic: "By the way, Brother Guo, I forgot to tell you, I went out in the middle of the night last night to make trouble, and I provoked many powerful people, you also saw it just now, that group of beggar disciples came to me to seek revenge." ”
"I see. Guo Sheng was stunned, and then said with concern: "Brother, are you okay? Have you ever been injured? Don't be afraid, if someone comes to seek revenge, kill me Guo Sheng first!"
Bai Sheng's heart warmed. I think this is the embodiment of Guo Sheng's good character - when I heard that my brother was in trouble, I didn't ask how much trouble he caused and how much trouble he caused, but first asked if his brother had suffered a loss, and then directly stuck a knife in his brother's ribs - if you use Guo Sheng's Sichuan dialect, such a brother wants to get it.
"I'm fine, you don't have to stand up for me, if something happens, the group of Jin people in front of you will stop it, right? However, Brother Guo, don't like to listen to me, just with our strength, a single beggar gang can't deal with it, just now you won just now is just a seven-bag disciple, what if the other gang leader comes?"
Guo Sheng laughed when he heard this, and said: "Brother, you are too worried, brother, I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how can I not know the depth of the beggar gang? To tell you the truth, the beggar gang has no helper at the moment." ”
"Isn't it?" Bai Sheng was a little incredulous, "How can such a big gang not have a leader?"
Guo Sheng's smile did not decrease: "This is the reason why you don't travel much and don't know much, as early as ten years ago, the ninth and eleventh generations of the beggar gang died one after another, of which the ninth generation of the gang leader is a hero of the world, proficient in the unique skills of the beggar gang, but there is no heir." It is said that when he was dying, he passed on his life's learning to his brother-in-law, and asked his brother-in-law to transfer it to the new leader of the beggar gang on his behalf. In the last ten years, the beggar gang has been looking for a talented boy outside the gang, and has waited for the position of gang leader, claiming that if anyone can pass the selection and learn all the beggar gang skills from the former gang leader's brother, then he can take the position of gang leader......"
"So have they found this kind of genius boy?" Bai Sheng asked curiously.
Guo Sheng said: "I heard that I found it, it was about three years ago, and it is said that I have been sent to learn art, but I haven't heard that Yicheng has returned, so I said that the current beggar gang is a group of dragons without a leader, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
On the official road, two groups of people and horses are one in front of the other, and they are slowly moving south. Bai Sheng and Guo Sheng in the north were talking about the beggar gang, but the three Wanyan Zongwang brothers and sisters in the south were talking about Bai Sheng.
Wan Yan Wulu said: "Second brother, I still don't understand, this Bai Sheng is so cold to us, why do you still use a hot face to stick to his cold ass." ”
Wanyan Zongwang pondered for a long time before he said softly: "You can't see that he is excellent, it doesn't mean that he is not excellent." ”
Jin Wushu interjected: "He doesn't know martial arts, how can he be considered excellent?"
Wanyan Wulu glanced at the fourth brother, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "What does the second brother mean, can you say that this Bai Sheng is a little literary? But please forgive the little sister's clumsiness, I really didn't see it." She knew that the second brother liked to make friends with the Central Plains scholars the most, and talked with them about the classics of the sages such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, perhaps the second brother valued Bai Sheng in this aspect.
Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile: "This morning, when we met at the Ruyi Inn in Wei County, I asked the disciples of Jindingmen to identify Bai Sheng's room, and went in to have a look, where I saw a calligraphy, the characters are good! ”
Wanyan Wulu was also both civil and military, and he was curious: "What kind of words are written?"
Wanyan Zongwang's expression became solemn, and he said slowly: "Six words, may future generations be born in China!"
Wanyan Wulu was puzzled and said: "Isn't this what Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dao Sect said? Since this Bai Sheng is from the Song Dynasty, how can he put such words into his pen?"
Wanyan Zongwang glanced at his sister and sighed: "Why can't you always think in both directions? It is precisely because he is a Song person that I look up to him because of this! Do you think that a common man of the Song Kingdom who is willing to be ordinary will study the mind of the Emperor of the Liao State?"
Wanyan Wulu suddenly realized: "Ah! Could it be that this Bai Sheng actually has the ambition to destroy Liao?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Yes." The war between the Song and Liao countries lasted for decades, and the people had a vendetta against each other for nearly a hundred years, and most of the Song people hated the Liao people, which was not a miracle. But as a citizen of the Song Kingdom, it is unusual to study the words and deeds of the Liao Emperor. I'm afraid that those civil ministers and military generals in the Great Song Dynasty will not make such efforts!"
Wanyan Wulu agreed: "Well, I heard that the officials of the Song Dynasty put their minds on the wind and snow, and the love of their children, and I really haven't heard that anyone has put their minds on the main matter of recovering Yanyun." ”
Wanyan Zongwang was relieved: "That's why I want to befriend him, even if I can't rely on him for the time being, he will be the strong reinforcement of my Dajin Kingdom in the future!"
Jin Wushu was very unconvinced, and retorted: "Big brother, you think too highly of him! Even if he has literary talent, what can he do? As the saying goes, if Xiucai rebels, it won't work out in ten years, and I don't see in what way this Bai Sheng can help us." In the Song Dynasty, there were too many sour Confucians who read dead books, and if they couldn't be a big official, they were a waste......"
"Shut up!" Wan Yan Zong glared at the fourth brother and reprimanded: "I haven't finished talking yet, in addition to this Bai Sheng's lofty ambition and brilliant writing, other aspects are also worthy of my high look!
Jin Wushu scratched his head as if he didn't understand, closed his mouth and waited for the second brother's next step.
Of course, Wanyan Zongwang had the following, "You think, if he knows martial arts, then he can not change his expression in that situation, does this mean that he has a way to deal with your golden axe?
Jin Wushu and Wanyan Wulu shook their heads at the same time, and both said, "I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it." He shook his head and nodded again, acknowledging that the second brother had a point.
Wanyan Zongwang continued: "Also, I heard a report from the disciple of Jindingmen, saying that Bai Sheng brought three stunning beauties with him on this trip, that is, the passengers in the carriage behind, but he did not live in the same room with any of these three beauties when he was staying, and he didn't take a car when he walked on the road, what does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Wan Yan Wulu then asked, revealing the gossip element in a woman's nature.
Wanyan Zongwang did not answer immediately, but looked up at the vast field to the west, and looked at it for a while before saying: "Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk flourished on the left and did not look instantaneous. The poor and the lowly cannot be moved, the rich and the rich cannot be lewd, and the mighty cannot be bent! The mind is splendid and the ambition is high! Can such a man be an ordinary person?"
Wanyan Wulu was dumbfounded, it turned out that this Bai Sheng was such an excellent person! Why didn't he see it earlier? I couldn't help but turn around to look at the convoy behind, but unfortunately it was far away, and I couldn't see where Bai Sheng was, let alone Bai Sheng's graceful demeanor in my imagination.
Bai Sheng and Guo Sheng rode side by side at the head of the team, and suddenly saw Wanyan Wulu on the jade lion in front of him turn around and stare back for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what are you looking at, big girl?
He didn't know what Yan Zongwang had just given him, because they were all traveling in the direction of the wind, how could the whispered discussion outside Li Xu come against the wind?
However, if he really knew Yan Zongwang's praise for him, he was afraid that he would laugh and hurt his stomach and laugh tears. Because the six characters on the rice paper in his bedroom at the Ruyi Inn were written by Xiao Feng at all, and he still hasn't figured out what these six words mean.
Just said that this piece of rice paper, Xiao Feng did not enter his room when he checked out and left, and he did not put away this piece of paper when he left, so he left it in his guest room. In other words, you don't need such paper even to go to the toilet, what if you wipe the chrysanthemums black? How embarrassing it is.
