Zhao Bufan has rarely had a comfortable life these days, and since Shi Qian brought back the information of the Liangshan bandits, he has dispelled his unrealistic ideas, so he has lived a very comfortable life.

Earlier, because of the extreme lack of food, he was also forced to be anxious, when Lin Chong accidentally said angry words, mentioning that he was going to rob the treasury of the Liao State, he was aroused by his thoughts, and faintly started the idea of suppressing bandits. After all, the Liangshan bandits are strong and strong, and the wealth they loot is naturally coveted.

However, as Dongxiangang and Juxianzhuang respectively withdrew huge amounts of resources to alleviate the urgent need, and continued to supply money according to the original quota every month, the shortage of money and food was naturally alleviated, and according to the information of the time, the Liangshan bandits became stronger and stronger, so that the expedition to Liangshan from the northern Xinjiang labor division became less cost-effective. As long as the army is dispatched, the expenses will increase exponentially, and if Liangshan is not captured, the food and wages will be exhausted again, and it will be self-defeating.

Although he asked for an order to send troops to get additional food and salary from the imperial court, he didn't dare to believe Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Privy Council, with Tong Guan's strong desire to die early and surpass his life, the more food was lacking, the more Tong Guan would delay, if the army was defeated miserably because of lack of food, maybe he would be charged with ineffective suppression, then he really wanted to cry without tears!

Therefore, the idea of suppressing bandits was shelved by him, and he could only stay in Sikou Pass to practice and deal with military affairs with peace of mind.

On this day, he was still specializing in nameless marksmanship as usual, and was immersed in his understanding, but Lu Fang ran in with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and shouted in a hurry: "General, something is wrong!

Zhao Bufan was interrupted by him, and his brows furrowed.

"What's so flustered?"

"General, there is an injured woman who has fainted outside the gate of the General's Mansion!" Lu Fang glanced at Shang Kunyang, who was practicing martial arts not far away, his face full of anxiety.

"What did a woman call me to do when she fainted, just take her to the medical officer for help, what's the use of looking for me, I'm not a doctor!" Zhao Bufan glanced at him angrily, ignored him anymore, and then raised the iron gun again.

Lu Fang was so anxious that he grabbed his arm, glanced at Shang Kunyang, and then leaned close to his ear and whispered: "That woman is none other than the general's crazy junior sister!"

", where did I come from!"

Zhao Bufan threw back a sentence in passing, but in an instant, he remembered Xue Ling, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and his expression immediately changed.

"You mean Xue Ling?"

"Hmm!" Lu Fang nodded again and again, and said urgently: "It's the woman who went crazy under the shadow mountain back then and injured me and Guo Sheng!"

Zhao Bufan followed Zhu Bocai and Zhu Lian to Qingzhou Feilong Fort to chase Yan Zhennan, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up, and finally saw the Feilong Fort that was slaughtered by the whole door, after which Zhu Bocai went to Cangzhou to rescue the virtuous king Zhao Yu, Zhu Lian also parted ways because of the conflict with him, he returned to the north alone, and happened to meet Xue Ling near the opposite shadow mountain, when Xue Ling was mentally stimulated and out of control, and suddenly saw Lu Fang and Guo Sheng who were competing, and almost killed them to vent their anger.

Lu Fang was also frightened by Xue Ling's crazy appearance at that time, and had a psychological shadow, so he was very impressed by her, and Lu Fang also heard the conversation between Zhao Bufan and Xue Ling at that time, knowing that she was Zhao Bufan's little junior sister, and vaguely knew that this woman's identity was very complicated. Today happened to be Lu Fang on duty in the General's Mansion, and he happened to see a beautiful woman fainting outside the gate of the General's Mansion, so he naturally went up to check, and when he recognized Xue Ling's appearance, he immediately rushed in in a hurry.

Zhao Bufan hadn't seen Xue Ling for a long time, so he was so anxious that he dropped the iron gun and rushed out, extremely puzzled in his heart.

"Xue Ling's martial arts back then were so good, and she had undergone rigorous training, and she had multiple identities under Cai Jing and Tong Guan in Xixia Yipintang, and she was extremely smart in doing things, how could she be seriously injured and faint outside my General's Mansion?"

Thinking so, he soon came to the gate of the General's Mansion.

At this time, the guards guarding the door were expelling the onlookers on the street, and there was a fainted woman next to the stone lion in front of the door, although she was covered in blood and her beautiful face was also covered by the mud, Zhao Bufan still recognized her as Xue Ling at a glance.

It's a pity that Xue Ling's dress at the moment is neither delicate and lively when she was in Xixia Yipintang, nor fresh and elegant when she represents Cai Jing, nor is it a heavy makeup when she is Tong Guan, and she is covered in coarse linen clothes with blood stains, so it is difficult for Zhao Bufan to tell who she represents when she went out on a mission and was injured.

"Lu Fang, why didn't you carry her in just now and come back to report again?" Zhao Bufan's tone was full of reproach.

Xue Ling is the orphan of his master, that is, his relative, which is of great significance to him without relatives and no reason, and Xue Ling has helped him more than once, although it is not very friendly every time, but after all, there is a thick friendship.

Lu Fang took a step back in fear and shook his head again and again: "I don't dare to touch her!"

Xue Ling back then obviously brought him a very deep shadow, and it was clear that he hadn't come out yet, Zhao Bufan also knew about it, so he shook his head at the moment, ran over and picked Xue Ling up horizontally, and turned back to the general's mansion. "Get the medic now!"

Xue Ling didn't seem to be completely unconscious, Zhao Bufan didn't take a few steps while holding her, her eyes opened a slit slightly, but after seeing Zhao Bufan's face, she quickly fell asleep again, and she never woke up since.

Back in the room, Zhao Bufan gently put her on the bed and sat down, which brought up the Nine Turns of Jinyang True Qi to help her regulate her qi and blood, but he didn't think that as soon as this True Qi entered, he instantly felt that two strong internal forces were hurting Xue Ling's body, one of which was full of rotten cold, extremely difficult, and the other was very familiar to him, it was the power of the dragon elephant that tortured him back then, at that time, if it wasn't for the desperate protection of Zheyuezhi, he would have died young.

"It's a powerful dragon elephant, and this person is two points stronger than Brother Yeluqing back then!"

Zhao Bufan snorted coldly in his heart, and further urged the Nine Turns Golden Yang Divine Skill, intending to get rid of the two true qi in Xue Ling's body, and the powerful internal strength made the skin on his and Xue Ling's bodies faintly glow red, and there was a faint white gas on his head.

His martial arts now are far from being comparable to those of the year, his internal strength is cultivated as high as three grades, and his martial arts cultivation has also broken through the bottleneck on Mount Hua and reached the realm of five grades, coupled with the recent hard study of the dog stick method and the nameless marksmanship, his strength has greatly improved, and he has already surpassed the ranks of first-class masters, and his martial arts are even above Guan Sheng, Lin Chong and others, although the power of the rotten cold true qi and the dragon elephant is strong, it can't stump him.

"Whoosh!"

The rotten cold true qi and the power of the dragon elephant turned into two powerful qi overflowing from Xue Ling's heavenly spirit cover, slowly dissipating, and Xue Ling also fell into his arms.

He gently put Xue Ling on the bed and lay down, covered the quilt, and waited quietly.

It didn't take long for Lu Fang to hurry over with a few medical officers, and after a lot of tossing, he fed Xue Ling some medicinal soup.

In the next two days, Xue Ling continued to have a high fever and was in a coma for a long time, because there was no maid in the General's Mansion, and Zhu Lian was not there, so Zhao Bufan could only go to invite Hu Sanniang to help, and scrub Xue Ling's body specifically. Fortunately, Xue Ling's internal strength, coupled with proper recuperation, made her improve quickly from the third day.

Early in the morning, Zhao Bufan was checking the report of the patrol sentry in the room, and suddenly heard a fierce fight next door, and before he could react, he heard Hu Sanniang scolding loudly: "Why don't you know what to do, why don't you know what to do, and you will be a killer when you open your eyes, if I hadn't taken care of you these days, would your injuries be healed?"

Zhao Bufan was startled, knowing that Xue Ling was awake, thinking of her ruthless habits, he didn't hesitate, he directly raised his breath, jumped out of the window, and rushed into Xue Ling's recuperation room after a few starts. "Senior sister, stop!"

The room was in shambles, the wooden bed was broken in two, the copper basin with water was overturned, the candlesticks were stuck on the beams, and the bedding was shattered into countless pieces of cotton, which were all over the floor. Xue Ling, who was dismantled in a cloak, was on guard, standing in the corner of the wall with only a pajama, while Hu Sanniang on this side was covering her chest, her pretty face was full of anger.

"How are you?" Zhao Bufan knew how powerful Xue Ling was, so he immediately ran to help Hu Sanniang and ask.

Hu Sanniang shook her head, her face gradually softened: "It's no big deal, she didn't do anything when she heard my words, it's just that her martial arts are too terrible, and a dozen moves make me a little unbearable!"

Zhao Bufan's right hand gently put on her back, crossed the mouth and made her feel better, and then looked at Xue Ling reproachfully and said: "Little junior sister, it's all Hu Sanniang taking care of you these days, how can you do it without asking!"

"Get used to it!" Xue Ling spit out these two words lightly, her eyes were terrifyingly cold.

Hu Sanniang looked at her, turned around and walked out.

"Brother Fanfan, I really can't cope with your junior sister, so you should take care of her personally!"

Watching Hu Sanniang go away in the courtyard, Zhao Bufan sighed helplessly and looked back at Xue Ling, who was still expressionless.

"How could you get hurt?"

"Someone beaten!"

“......”

Zhao Bufan was speechless, thought for a while and then asked again: "Then you have to tell me how you came to me!"

"Am I ugly now?" Xue Ling suddenly lowered her head nervously and looked at what she was wearing.

Not again!

Zhao Bufan secretly complained in his heart, Xue Ling's extremely jumping thinking still made him very uncomfortable.

"No, no, it looks okay!"

When these words came out, Xue Ling suddenly became furious, shouting at a sharp voice: "Get out, you go out for me, quickly let someone find me two clothes!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll let someone find you clothes!" Zhao Bufan really didn't have anything to do with her, so he walked out of the door quickly and went to find a set of Zhu Lian's clothes to bring over, but he didn't think about it, but it didn't suit Xue Ling's taste, so he had to go back and pick up a large bundle for her.

After such a good toss, Xue Ling finally found a set that she was quite satisfied with, and then it took a long time to make up for almost half an hour, and then she dressed up fresh and elegant, as if she was a lady and walked out of the house.

"Is it beautiful now?"

"Beautiful, very beautiful, you are actually beautiful without clothes, you are naturally beautiful!" Zhao Bufan responded casually, but he was also telling the truth.

"Have you ever seen me without clothes?" Xue Ling's cold eyes suddenly filled with some doubt.

"No!No!No! I haven't seen it, I didn't mean that!" Zhao Bufan was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, for fear that she would go crazy if she had something wrong.

Although Xue Ling said that her face was frosty, she didn't mean to be angry at all, but said coldly: "Just look at it! It's a revenge for you saving my life, and besides, there will be a break between you and me after all, either I will become your woman, or I will kill you, it doesn't matter!"

Zhao Bufan's eyes widened instantly: "I really haven't seen it!"

"Your father-in-law is probably going to die!" Xue Ling's voice was cold.

"What do you want me to say to believe it, I really haven't seen it, after you were injured, Hu Sanniang was taking care of you, I didn't ...... at all" Zhao Bufan was explaining, suddenly reacted, and said blankly: "Who did you just say is dying?"

"Zhu Bocai!" Xue Ling said coldly.

In an instant, Zhao Bufan's expression changed dramatically.

"What the hell is going on, don't go east for a while and go west for a while, can you talk well!"

"What do you say?" Xue Ling asked rhetorically.

Zhao Bufan was really angry, and said urgently: "I asked you to say where Zhu Lian's father is?"

"An unnamed island east of Cangzhou!"

"How do you know?"

"That's where I got out!"

"Grandma, you make things clear from beginning to end, okay?" Zhao Bufan really wanted to cry without tears, and his face was wrinkled.

Seeing his appearance, Xue Ling smiled rarely!

A chuckle, it's like a glacier melting, the cold winter fades, it's beautiful!

Zhao Bufan was slightly distracted.

It's a pity that the smile disappeared too quickly, and in an instant, it was once again covered by the cold face, as if the emotionless voice sounded again.

Emperor Zhao Ji then sent Zhao Youkai and Ma Zheng as envoys, carrying edicts and gifts to accompany the envoys of Jin, and traveled to Dengzhou seaport, where Zhao Youkai was assassinated and killed. Zhang Shuye, the governor of Haizhou, pretended to be a guard and coordinated the envoy, and once fought fiercely with the masked killer, pointing out that the martial arts used by that person were the secret of the Wanyan family of the Jin Kingdom, and the emperor was extremely shocking!

Emperor Zhao Ji got the Qianli Express, ordered Tong Guan to go to Dengzhou with Zhu Bocai and Zeng Kun to investigate, and detained Li Qingshan, the envoy of the Jin State, and his party, and at the same time Tong Guan received a secret report, and learned that the Liao State officially sealed the Liaodong region to the Jin State, and canonized the monarch of the Jin State as the King of Donghuai, recognized them as a state, recognized their existence as a vassal state, and had the meaning of complete reconciliation, and the Jin State also temporarily accepted the canonization!

Tong Guan's heart to attack Liao was urgent, and he was extremely eager to promote the alliance between Song and Jin, worried that this matter would affect the attitude of Emperor Zhao Ji, and intended to suppress this information, but it was discovered by Cai Jing's people and sent someone to report to Emperor Zhao Ji quickly. Zhao Ji immediately sent an edict to Dengzhou, on the grounds that there were differences within the Jin royal family about the idea of resisting Liao, and it was difficult to succeed in the joint attack on Liao, the edict stopped the peace talks, and all the personnel who were ordered to send envoys returned to their own duties!

The Song-Jin alliance was about to collapse, but Ma Zhi, a native of Liao, rushed to Dengzhou, telling that Liao's actions were intended to undermine the Song-Jin alliance, and came up with ironclad evidence, although this Ma Zhi was said to be a son of a wealthy family in Liao, and won the trust of the Liao court, but after all, he was a Han man in the sixteen states of Youyun, and he was dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty.

Emperor Zhao Ji also knew Ma Zhi's dual identity, and had met with him in private several times, and when he saw the ironclad evidence he got back, he immediately issued an edict to continue to send envoys, and at the same time let Zhu Bocai and Zeng Kun also secretly follow to protect the envoys of the two countries, and the fleet has been able to go to sea smoothly since then, but he did not expect the itinerary to be leaked, and was intercepted by a Liao master who pretended to be a Haikou at sea, and was forced to flee west into the Bohai Sea, intending to seek refuge in Cangzhou. Thereafter......"

Hearing this quietly, Zhao Bufan finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart anymore, looked straight at Xue Ling, and interrupted.

"Little junior sister, since you know so much, what is your identity in it?"
