Chapter Fifty-Eight: Parting Outside the City (I)
Xu Tianchang continued: "Third brother, this matter is not urgent, now that the golden vulture is powerful, and it has won the trust of the gold owner, you must avoid its edge and do not have a head-on conflict with it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhat's more, you are all still young, and you don't have an official position, so you don't act rashly, otherwise you will only gain more than you lose. In my opinion, you still have to try to find as many like-minded people as possible, like Zong Jun and Zong Pan, aren't they all killed because they proposed peace with the Great Song Dynasty? I think that their subordinates and heirs will also be affected by it, and they have some complaints about Wushu, and you must grasp these people. If you talk to Wan Yan Yong more, move around with these people a lot, and form a faction, the power will be greater. ”
Zhang Jinyan nodded again and again when he heard it: "What the second brother said is very true, but the younger brother is anxious." Xu Tianchang continued: "The top priority now is how to bring down the Jin Wushu, I think, now that he is in power, he will inevitably use troops against the Great Song Dynasty again, you must pay more attention to the transfer of the Jin people's troops and horses, and pass the news to the Great Song Dynasty." As long as you understand the movement of the Jin people's troops, so that Marshal Yue and them can make targeted countermeasures, I believe that Wushu will definitely suffer defeats in a row, and at that time, I am afraid that the gold lord will become more and more alienated from him, and then it will be much easier for you to ask for peace with the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Everyone heard Xu Tianchang's words, and they all thought it was true, this was really the words of the old man who was seeking the country. At that moment, several people sat there again, agreed on the details one by one, and sent the drunk Wan Yanyong back to the room, and then they went back to the house to sleep.
Early the next morning, several people began to pack their things, and after preparing to say goodbye to each other, they each set off to do their own business. Wan Yanyong also knew from Zhang Jinyan at this time that he could return to Beijing, so he was naturally very happy. Even Bu Sahu, who was still lying on the bed, struggled to get up and suggested that Wan Yanyong leave for return immediately.
Seeing this, Zhang Jinyan knew that the two of them were like arrows and it was not easy to stop them, so he went to talk to Dugu Jian and Xu Tianchang, and the two of them had no objection, after all, even if they didn't agree, after he and the others left today, I was afraid that they would also go on their own way. So, they arranged for someone to buy a carriage for the three of them to use on the road. Zhang Jinyan thanked the two of them again, and even after Yan Yong knew about it, he was also full of gratitude to them.
Everyone retreated from the house, drove out of the north gate on horseback, and came to the outside of the grove that day, ready to see off Zhang Jinyan and the three of them first. Bu Sahu was lying in the carriage, Zhang Jinyan and Wan Yanyong were sitting outside to catch the car, thanks to Zhang Jinyan's rough driving skills, otherwise they would have to go back in another way.
Dugu Jian looked at Zhang Jinyan who was holding a horse whip, and admonished: "Third brother, be more careful along the way, the golden vulture has not caught you, it must have set up a checkpoint, waiting for you to throw yourself into the net, you must pay more attention!" Zhang Jinyan nodded and replied: "Big brother, don't worry, that vulture is an overkill, and you will not dare to search for us in public, otherwise it will definitely alarm the gold owner, we have prepared enough dry food and drinking water in the car, and we picked a small road to walk, and he didn't expect to guess it." ”
Wan Yanyong also said: "Please rest assured, when we arrive at Shangjing Mansion, we will first go to Jingfu Temple outside the city to meet my mother, and ask her to try to send us into the city to avoid the eyes and ears of Wushu." If Yan Yong can return to Beijing smoothly this time, thanks to your merits, I also promise you hereby that once he can be crowned a marquis and worship the prime minister in the future, and be reused by my emperor, I will definitely promote peace between the two countries, and never commit the Great Song Dynasty again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before the crowd could speak and express their gratitude, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the north. When I looked up, I saw that two people were hurrying towards here on horseback! When I got closer, I found that it was Wu Liji and Uncle Wan!
Uncle Wan also saw them, only to hear him shout loudly: "Miss, Xu Gongzi, Dugu Hero!" When they got closer, the two of them turned over and dismounted and saluted everyone. Li Yao asked, "Uncle Wan, why are you here?" Uncle Wan replied, "After we buy the horse, we are ready to return." And this little Khan of Uliji is also not at ease with you, and if you have to come with you to have a look, I will let everyone take the horses behind and walk slowly, and I will hurry up with him along the way. ”
Li Yao nodded and said, "It's okay on our side, Brother Dugu's injuries have healed, and he is planning to return to the Central Plains with Miss Zhang." We're still thinking about whether or not to go to you. ”
Wu Liji looked at Xu Tianchang and asked, "Brother Xu, do you really plan to leave the grassland and return to your Han people?" Xu Tianchang was stunned, and then replied: "Well, my mother once told me when she was dying that she wanted me to return to the Central Plains. In the past few months, if it weren't for the Khan who has repeatedly retained him, and it was the time of the war with the Jin people, I wanted to say goodbye to everyone at that time, but this time it dragged on for half a year, and now I met Yao Mei again, so I naturally want to follow her back. ”
"When Uncle Wan told me that day, I knew it, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, good brother, since you are leaving, I will not stop you, I have already told my father Khan about this matter, and he also knows your thoughts, let me tell you, please always remember that you have a home and a group of relatives on this prairie. Uligi said affectionately.
Xu Tianchang looked at the sincere eyes and nodded vigorously, "Well, I will never forget your kindness, you will always be my dearest person!" As he spoke, he and Wu Liji hugged each other heavily and patted each other's broad backs.
Seeing the friendship between the two, everyone was moved. Yes, this time, I want to see you again, but I'm afraid I don't know when it will be. Uligi smiled again and said, "You see, I almost forgot about business. He walked to his horse, took down a box wrapped in yellow cloth, handed it to Xu Tianchang, and said, "Didn't your mother confess to you before she died, and let you bury her with your father? ”
Taking over his mother's ashes, Xu Tianchang nodded at Wu Liji, "Good brother, you are so careful, this saves me another trip, then I will thank you." ”
"Thank you, it's all as it should be. Wu Liji patted him on the shoulder, glanced at Li Yao again, and said, "I have also asked Uncle Wan about you and this girl, and when you get married, remember to ask someone to bring me a message, and I will also let the people in the clan celebrate for you." By the way, I asked my father Khan to give you fifty more horses, even if it was a congratulatory gift for your marriage. ”
Li Yao also saluted Wu Li Ji and said, "Brother Wu Li Ji, that little sister will thank you very much." Wu Liji laughed and replied: "You still have to fight in the Central Plains, and when the time comes, you will kill a few more golden dogs for us, but you must pay attention to your own safety." ”
Wan Yan Yong on the side heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, but he was a little unhappy in his heart. Wu Liji's words, didn't he scold himself too, but in front of so many people, he couldn't say anything. Dugu Jian saw all this in his eyes, and it happened that Xu Tianchang's mother's ashes made him think of one thing, so he opened his mouth and said to Wanyan Yong and Zhang Jinyan: "Wanyan Little Prince, third brother, I have one more thing here that I want to ask you for a favor." ”
Wan Yanyong hurriedly replied: "Dugu Daxia, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help Daxia do it." Dugu Jian said: "Twelve years ago, my father was killed by Nangong in Shangjing Mansion, and the bones are not known where the old thief was buried, if you go back this time, please help me visit to see if I can find the remains of his old man, I am grateful here." ”
"Dugu Daxia, where is this, about Ling Zun's remains, I will definitely do my best to help you find it, please rest assured. Wan Yanyong hurriedly agreed, this matter is not a difficult thing for him, after all, it is just a person's bones, and it should not be too difficult to find it.
Zhang Jinyan also followed: "Big brother, don't worry, as long as we find my uncle's bones, we will definitely send them to my eldest brother as soon as possible, so that my uncle can return to his roots as soon as possible." ”
