Because the competition has caused the injuries of his masters to retire, no matter how thick-skinned Sima Xuan is, he is embarrassed to propose to continue the martial arts performance, but he can't suppress the anger in his heart, the dinner is still early, how can he swallow the bitter fruit so disgraced. He glanced at Gong Tian.

Father-in-law Tian is old and refined, and he instantly grasped the mind of Lord Taiwei. Tian Gonggong smiled and said, "Let's make a toast to this unique performance just now."

Everyone didn't dare to brush his face, and raised their glasses one after another, not only to cheer for Xie Tong's victory, but also to respect him.

Tian Gonggong drank it all and said, "There is no second in martial arts, no first in literature, since you have watched martial arts, you should also advocate spiritual culture, otherwise outsiders will only laugh at me The Tang Empire is a barbarian." ”

Everyone suddenly felt that what the red man next to the emperor said was very reasonable, and they echoed it.

Although Xie Tong didn't know what Gonggong Tian was selling. But what is certain is that this must be another conspiracy.

Sure enough, Sun Chengli, the head of the household, said, "Everyone is from a clan, and they must understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and now the traitor Huangchao is entrenched in the Jianghuai area, and the Central Plains has been in turmoil for more than 20 years. Presumably everyone knows that they just want to turn over the salted fish and ride on our heads, and now the Holy Lord's soldiers are imminent, and you, as representatives of the clan and the leaders of the valve, should do your best to help the country and the Holy One. As the saying goes, the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of the husband, let alone these noble people."

The nobles present responded one after another and agreed with Sun Chengli's opinion.

Sima Xuan said with a smile, "What Lord Shangshu said is very true, but there are some people with delicate status, who hold heavy troops, but they put the interests of the family in front of everything, only care about small profits, and can't take care of the family and the country, so that Huang Chao, a traitor, has been at large for more than 20 years and cannot be destroyed." ”

Everyone was silent, and everyone could hear that Sima Xuan must be referring to the Sichuan-Shu Song Dynasty.

The Song valve has more than 200,000 troops, and has always occupied the Sichuan and Shu areas, and Song Kui, the king of Shu, has always stood still and watched the movement.

Although Song Wenyuan was stunned when playing politics, he also saw that the other party's spearhead was directly aimed at him. But he can't act rashly, this is Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he can't be as important here as he is in Chengdu.

The situation in Sichuan and Shu is very bad, not only most of the financial resources were transported away by Huang Chao, but the king of Shu Song Kui was stupid and was played by the Datuk Venerable in the palm of his hand, this time he was injured, his reputation was greatly damaged, and the second master Song Xuan died at the hands of Xie Yang, and there was no longer the invincible image of the king of Shu. The huge Song family fell into the hands of Song Wenyuan, and it was really difficult.

Song Wenyuan couldn't help but regret that he didn't leave Xie Yang behind, Xie Yang was extremely smart and resourceful, and he was actually the mainstay of Song Valve Zhongxing. It's a pity that his father Song Kui couldn't tolerate things and missed the opportunity, so that he made mistakes again and again, and was taken advantage of by His Holiness Datuk to declare that every loss of strength was lost. Therefore, after Song Wenyuan arrived in Chang'an, he has been looking for opportunities, hoping to win over the clan and form a powerful alliance. But he seriously underestimated the cohesion of the Chang'an clan, and the clan headed by the Sima clan not only did not accept him, but had the ambition to annex the Song family. And the Hong clan is just an unruly and declining clan, which does not help his ideals at all. Hong Ru is a doctor who must have a false name, not only has no rights and does not understand politics, but is used as a pawn by the Sima family, which makes Song Wenyuan feel isolated.

In the face of the powerful Sima family, he had to make compromises.

Song Wenyuan smiled and said, "What Lord Taiwei said is that my father has not thought through this truth in the past, so that he regrets it, and now Wenyuan has come to Chang'an, although he has entered the Hongfu, but he still has the world in mind, and the Sichuan and Shu army is on standby at any time, waiting for the dispatch of the saint."

Hong Ru looked at his son-in-law with a smile, full of pride.

Tian Gonggong fiddled with the glass cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's rare for a virtuous nephew to be so enlightened, but he ignores an important truth, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, since the Song family is a holy courtier, it should abide by the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the Song family raises hundreds of thousands of soldiers, this is not in accordance with the rules, is it to rebel?"

The hat was so fastened that everyone could hear the meaning.

Song Wenyuan scolded the eighteenth generation of Tian Gonggong's ancestors in his heart, when he and his party went to Chengdu, not to mention how boring it was, now seeing that Song Kui was seriously injured, Song Valve collapsed, but rode on his head.

But Song Wenyuan knew that now was not the time to be angry, so he knelt down and said, "Father-in-law Tian Mingjian, my father is just famous in Shu, the Song family army only has more than 10,000 people, and the rest are local gangs of all sizes, admiring my father, so I came to Shun, and I am not a member of the Song family's army, and I also ask my father-in-law to be aware of everything, and do not clarify the rumors in front of the saint." ”

Sima Xuan's eyes rolled, and he said with a sneer, "Of course my father-in-law knows that this is a rumor, but the saint has lived in the palace for a long time, and An Neng knows about it, so I am afraid that the saint will not believe the rumor, which will ruin Wenyuan's reputation, and I am afraid that it will also implicate Dr. Hong's family."

When Hong Ru heard this, he was already frightened. Hurriedly said, "I also ask the prince, the Taiwei and Tian Gonggong to clarify this matter in front of the saint, so as not to misunderstand Wenyuan."

Huaiwang Li Zhaorun suddenly said, "It is not difficult to clarify this matter, the key is the army, this king knows the imperial brother very well, how to tolerate the lion and tiger when he is lying on the couch, the Song family army has always been a piece of the imperial brother's heart."

Xie Tong finally grasped the strategy of King Huai, Taiwei and Gonggong Tian, they were soft and hard, yin and not playful, and the whole dinner was clearly aimed at Song Wenyuan and forced him to hand over the Song family's army. It seems that this matter has been planned for a long time, and it has been a conspiracy since the marriage. It was a ploy to deceive Song Wenyuan to Chang'an, and if he was trapped in Chang'an, he would not worry that Song Kui would not agree. Now that the troops are about to be dispatched, they can't bear it anymore and openly ask for military power.

Sima Xuan also said, "The Holy Army is about to send troops, and it was originally planned that the Three Route Army would go south, but unfortunately the Western Route Army lacked naval forces and warships, if the Song Family Army was merged into the Western Route Army, then the Holy Lord would definitely be able to believe in Wenyuan's loyalty." ”

Xie Tong's heart came, and the other party linked one ring after another, not worrying that Song Wenyuan would not agree, but there was still Hong Ru fanning the flames by his side. It's a pity that he has no influence on such occasions, and he can't speak, so he can only watch his good brothers fall into each other's tricks step by step, and he can't do anything.

Before Song Wenyuan entered Beijing, Song Kui had already told him to sacrifice part of his strength in exchange for the trust of the saint, but he couldn't tell it all, he must have expected it here, Song Wenyuan said with blood dripping from his heart, "My father has long regretted it, and before entering Beijing, he has warned Wenyuan that everything is subject to the arrangements of the adults." to show the loyalty and confidancy of the Song family".

King Huai, Taiwei and Tian Gong Guild laughed heartily, no matter what the process was, they finally achieved their goal.

The dinner was also spent in a cheerful atmosphere for the rest of the year.

Xie Tong and Li Jun returned to the palace together, and Wang Wanru eagerly followed Xie Tong. Passing by Hong Shan's seat, Xie Tong glanced at her again.

Hong Shan saw that there was a delicate little girl following Xie Tong and shushing for warmth, she was unhappy in her heart, and glared at him fiercely.

Xie Tong was shocked, but he couldn't explain it, so he smiled bitterly and left.

When she woke up the next day, Wang Wanru was already walking around the house. Xie Tong rested all night, and the internal injury recovered early, but there was a faint pain in his chest. He finished dressing, had breakfast, and wandered around the yard, not knowing how to explain to Hong Shan.

Suddenly, Li Jun led Hong Shan into the courtyard.

Hong Shan was dressed in a snow-white fur suit, covered with a red cloak, and pedaled boots, walking heroically, while Li Jun led the way in front and walked directly into the courtyard.

Xie Tong was stunned. Hong Shan has a fully armed posture and looks presentable.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Brother Xie has accepted a good apprentice, Li Jun is congratulating." ”

Xie Tong thought he was an eyesore, but he couldn't drive him away immediately, so he hurriedly said, "Gongzi Li, Miss Hong Shan's house, please."

Hong Shan showed a charming smile and said, "The master was injured last night, and Hong Shante came to check on the master's injury." I don't know how the master feels."

Wang Wanru couldn't help laughing, she knew the secret of the two of them. It's just that these two people pretend to be like each other in front of people, as if they are real.

Hong Shan looked at Wang Wanru, and without waiting for Xie Tong to answer, she asked, "What do you call this delicate little sister." There was a sour taste in her tone.

Xie Tong was one head and two big, and hurriedly said, "Miss Shan'er, this is Xie Tong's, uh, friend."

Wang Wanru congratulated her and said, "It's like seeing Sister Hong Shan!"

Hong Shan looked at Wang Wanru and nodded lightly. He didn't look at Xie Tong, and said, "I can't imagine that the master has a lot of female friends!" After that, he turned around and walked into the house.

Li Jun looked at this strange master and apprentice inexplicably, not knowing what was so subtle about it.

The three of them were just about to enter the room, and Hong Shan suddenly said, "Everyone, please stay, Shan'er wants to have a few words alone with her sister."

Li Jun looked at Xie Tong, and Xie Tong couldn't figure out the situation, so he had to smile bitterly.

Wang Wanru Shi Ran walked in and covered the door.

Li Jun smiled and said, "Li has a feeling that Miss Hong Shan shouldn't be so familiar with Brother Xie, if the two of you are old acquaintances, then everything will be easy to explain."

Xie Tong secretly exclaimed, Hong Shan was too kind to him, so it was strange not to make people suspicious, fortunately, only Li Jun found this, if it was discovered by others, the consequences would be unimaginable. He hurriedly said, "Brother Li said that it was funny, Xie and Miss Hong only met for the first time last night, as for why Miss Hong Shan is so close to Xie." It is very likely to be related to yesterday's competition, and Xie can't think of anything else."

Speaking of martial arts, Li Jun's eyes suddenly lit up. He said excitedly, "Brother Xie's hand yesterday was so beautiful, he directly broke Feng Wuhe's right arm. You must know that Feng Wuhe is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, and his kung fu is hard and ruthless, who would have thought that he would be beaten by Brother Xie and couldn't stand up, Brother Xie can show his might, and even your father and eldest brother praised you for your bravery. The younger brother is even more admired by the five-body throw".

Xie Tong had no intention of talking to him, and was all focused on the two girls in the room, feeling quite absent-minded. He said casually, "It's just a fluke, Xie also suffered serious internal injuries, to be honest, it's just that he is young and vigorous, and he can't get used to the domineering attitude of Lord Taiwei!"

Li Jun said: "Brother Xie's words are the same as my father's. My father admired Brother Xie even more, but he was embarrassed to win people's love because Brother Xie was a subordinate of Lord Wang. ”

Xie Tong was convinced of Li Jun's words, he was not afraid of strong enemies last night, and dared to fight, so that he became a celebrity in the Chang'an aristocratic circle overnight. No one wants to take him under his command. Xie Tong was about to answer him, the door creaked open, Wang Wanru walked out of the room, and said expressionlessly, "Miss Hong Shan has invited Brother Xie to come in for a while."

Xie Tong suppressed the strong impulse in his heart, showed a wry smile at Li Jun, and pushed the door in.

Li Jun looked at Wang Wanru and asked, "What is Miss Hong Shan doing?" It's so mysterious."

Wang Wanru Jiao smiled and said, "I knew that Li Gongzi would ask so much, Sister Hong Shan said." If Li Gongzi has any questions, just ask her."

Li Jun smacked his lips, with Hong Shan's ruthlessness, he didn't have the courage to ask, and said with a smile, "So I won't bother you." Li took his leave first."

Wang Wanru watched Li Jun leave the courtyard.
