Chapter 22: The Crisis of the Painting Pavilion

Xie Tong suddenly realized, no wonder Sima Xuan died down, it turned out that Li Zhaorun used the most important chess piece in his hand, this move was enough to make Sima Xuan dare not act rashly, from the limelight to support King Huai, so he had to slowly look for opportunities. This led to a close collaboration between the two, which explains why King Huai put him to death. He let out a long sigh and said, "The junior brother has long heard of the name of Li Zheng, the king of Wu, I don't know what this person is!"

Song Wenyuan said, "Although Li Zheng, the king of Wu, is young, he commands the soldiers of Xiangyang, is extremely upright, and far-sighted, and has an excellent reputation in the hearts of the people. It is the mainstay of Datang Zhongxing."

Xie Tong heard that Song Wenyuan talked about Li Zheng's words like a river, and he was full of words, which made him feel excited, now that the government is corrupt and traitorous ministers are in charge, how can he not be excited, Xie Tong also has the urge to see this prince. He asked, "In this way, Li Zhaorun should sit on the throne of the marshal of the Southern Expedition." His words revealed great sorrow, compared to Sima Xuan and Li Zhaorun, from a personal point of view, he hated Li Zhaorun even more, after all, Sima Xuan was his enemy from the beginning, and Li Zhaorun was a traitor to seek glory, not only deceived his trust, but also sought skin with the tiger.

Song Wenyuan's body was shocked, and said, "Although the virtuous brother is in the land of fireworks, he has guessed the affairs of this court very accurately, as if it was planned by you, if it weren't for the elder brother, I know you very well, otherwise I would really see a ghost." ”

Xie Tong smiled: "In this way, everything is developing in a good direction." ”

Xie Tong continued, "But the junior brother always feels that Sima Xuan must not easily give up this low-hanging fruitful victory, and there must be some arrangement."

Song Wenyuan said, "Sima Xiangru was the general of the Middle Route Army, and Li Zhaorun also followed the Chinese army, ostensibly headed by King Huai, but I am afraid that Sima Xiangru will put King Huai in the air, so that he has the name of marshal but not the fact of marshal."

Xie Tong said, "It should be so, Sima Xuan's trick of the golden cicada to get out of the shell is so powerful!"

Song Wenyuan said with a smile: "The key is that King Huai still thinks that Sima Xuan is wholeheartedly allied with him, and he also supports him as the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition." ”

Xie Tong said, "I was toyed with, but I still don't know, this may be the failure of King Huai!"

Xie Tong's brothers are not optimistic that King Huai can win in the struggle for power, especially Xie Tong, he was inexplicably involved in this political struggle that has nothing to do with him, but he can't stand by and watch, such a vigorous struggle, it ended in such a situation, it really made him sigh, and also made Xie Tong realize the insignificance of his rights.

Song Wenyuan said: "In this southern expedition, the virtuous brother will go out with my army! It is good to have a response! This is also a good time for the brothers to show their ambitions." ”

Xie Tong shook his head and said, "There is no taste in fame by relationship, what the little brother wants is to be vigorous and truly famous, and I will participate in the school competition the day after tomorrow, if I can win the championship, it will be the first step for the little brother to complete the ideal." ”

Song Wenyuan exclaimed, "Brother Xian, are you crazy? Now that there are Taiwei and King Huai arresting your minions outside, this public appearance is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net, you have to think clearly." ”

Xie Tong smiled and said, "Big brother, you are really joking, you will definitely not show up now, but the other party does not dare to arrest me openly, Xie Mou is appearing when he waits until the martial arts competition, what can the other party do to me!"

Song Wenyuan smiled knowingly, Xie Tong was indeed brave and strategic, he asked, "Participating in the conference requires the recommendation of the festival envoy, with the current situation, the enemy will definitely watch Lord Wang closely, it is impossible for you to have a chance to meet him, without Lord Wang to follow, you can't even enter the school ground." ”

Xie Tong scolded with a smile: "There is no Lord Wang, and General Song! At present, the enemy must not know the relationship between General Song and the younger brother, and when the time comes, General Song will send him to the younger brother in person, and the younger brother does not believe that anyone in Chang'an City will dare to stop General Song at this moment." ”

Song Wenyuan said, "Fortunately, you are my friend, not my enemy, with someone like you who calculates every day, I won't feel at ease if I want to sleep." Then he asked, "This nightingale seems to be a female streamer, but in fact she is very ruthless, not only does she look like a flower, but also her martial arts are the best choice, what does it have to do with you!"

Xie Tong scratched his head, in fact, even he couldn't tell what the relationship between the two was, it seemed that they met in Pingshui, but in fact they were intimate, this woman saved his life twice, but she had no requirements for him, if she was in love with him, then everything could be explained in the past, but this woman looked like she ignored him, so he really couldn't say clearly. He smiled and said, "Could it be that the eldest brother's heart is rippling, this woman has nothing to do with the younger brother, just friends, if the eldest brother is interested, the younger brother is willing to explore the truth for the eldest brother!"

Song Wenyuan scolded with a smile: "Nonsense! Brother, I already have your sister-in-law Hong Ye, how can I provoke others! Reveal a little secret to you, your sister-in-law is already pregnant." ”

Xie Tong put away his playful face and said, "In this way, I really want to congratulate the eldest brother, the eldest brother is young and promising, and he is really good for doing great things!"

They both burst out laughing at the same time.

Xie Tong enjoyed this carefree time very much, but the good times did not last long, and the nightingale rushed in in a hurry.

Just looking at her panicked look, you can know what is wrong.

Nightingale said, "Hide, Sima Jinyu is here!"

Xie Tong's voice changed suddenly, he didn't expect the enemy to come so suddenly. But the boudoir is so big, where can he hide!

Nightingale said, "What are you doing with your mother-in-law, get under the bed quickly, wronged Song Gongzi, and cooperate with Nightingale to show them." ”

Xie Tong reluctantly got under the bed.

Song Wenyuan didn't know what he was doing, the nightingale had already gotten into his arms, and at this moment, he knew what this acting meant!

Xie Tong's sense slowly spread, and he sensed a series of footsteps approaching the nightingale's boudoir.

The voice sounded, it was the voice of the proprietress of the painting pavilion, and Qin's mother said, "Son Jinyu, this nightingale girl is chatting with the guests, it is very unruly for you to go straight to the boudoir like this." ”

I only heard Sima Jinyu snort coldly and said, "If you dare to be wordy again, this son will pull out your tongue!"

The door was kicked open, and Xie Tong sensed that a total of four people had walked in.

The nightingale suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, "Mother Qin, the nightingale is accompanying the guests, how could anyone come in!"

Mother Qin didn't dare to make a sound, she just Nunu mouthed, and then looked at Sima Jinyu with wide eyes.

Song Wenyuan pretended to be displeased and said, "Brother Jinyu, what do you mean!"

Sima Jinyu thought that Song Wenyuan was secretly happy here, and he was a nightingale girl who was famous in Chang'an, he had never seen a nightingale with anyone, and he was very jealous at this moment. But Song Wenyuan's status is now different from what it used to be, and he has been appointed by the Holy Lord as the general of the Western Road, on the same level as his brother.

borrowed his courage and didn't dare to compete with Song Wenyuan and be jealous. He hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know that Brother Song is here, it's the younger brother who is rude, the younger brother heard that the nightingale girl invited the guests into the boudoir, this is a big event in Chang'an City, the younger brother wants to know who can have this honor, how do you know that it is Brother Song, so, the little brother will not bother!" Although he said this, he had no intention of leaving, but a pair of eyes did not leave the nightingale's body for a moment, revealing a greedy look.

Don't look away from the nightingale.

Although Xie Tong couldn't see it, he could already think of Sima Jinyu's nasty face.

Song Wenyuan was already very disgusted with Sima Jinyu, but now that he was in trouble with Xie Tong, he said unhappily, "In this way, I won't send my son!"

When Sima Jinyu saw that Song Wenyuan had given an eviction order, he was displeased, and he was very reluctant to go out.

"Wait," a cold voice came.

Xie Tong heard it sincerely, this person is the old man who makes the dust out of the way.

Sima Jinyu said, "Master Zhen Yuanzi, what's wrong."

It turns out that this old Taoist is called Zhen Yuanzi, Xie Tongxin is really bold, he dares to give such a name, it is because he is impatient.

Zhen Yuanzi said, "There is a smell of blood in this house."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Tong and the others were immediately frightened. This old nose is also too smart, and a little smell can be smelled really.

Sima Jinyu stopped and said, "Master Zhen Yuanzi is afraid that he is joking! How can there be a smell of blood in the nightingale girl's room?"

Zhen Yuanzi hung the dust in his hand on his back, he took a deep breath, showed a very confident expression, and said, "Lao Dao has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and he is extremely familiar with the smell of blood, in this closed space, the smell of blood will not dissipate within three days, and Lao Dao is sure that his assertion will never be wrong."

Sima Jinyu was overjoyed in his heart, he looked at Song Wenyuan and the two triumphantly, waiting for their answers.

Nightingale said very calmly, "Young Master Sima, I'm afraid it's a bit of a fuss! What's so strange about the smell of blood in this room, is it possible that only those who fight and kill will have blood, and there will be no other things?" She finished the last sentence very shyly, and as soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, as if the nightingale admitted her ambiguous relationship with Song Wenyuan. And it was Song Wenyuan who took the lead in the nightingale.

Song Wenyuan had no choice but to admit it, otherwise, Nightingale's efforts would be in vain. A delicate girl who did not hesitate to save Xie Tong's reputation in order to save Xie Tong, is he a man, is he still so accountant? He is only afraid that Sima Jinyu will be open-mouthed and publicize this matter.

Sima Jinyu smiled and said, "I see, it's a good thing that Jinyu doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and she missed the two of them, Jinyu apologizes for this, and hopes that Brother Song and the nightingale girl Haihan." With that, he turned and left.

This time he really left, and he was very reluctant to believe that a girl like Nightingale would have a relationship with someone else, which was also a dream of his. This time he came to the painting pavilion to check, it was completely his brother Sima Xiangru's bad idea, and now Xie Tong disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, which makes his father and brother extremely worried, and if he wastes a great opportunity, it will not be a fantasy to want to catch turtles in the urn in the future. The key point is that they can't blatantly search for Xie Tong, after all, Xie Tong is Wang Daoxun's general, and he abides by the rules and disciplines, and there is no full proof to arrest him, so he can only be done secretly. But Xie Tong has been missing for three days, and they have searched Chang'an City and still have no news. According to Cao Pingyang, Xie Tong was seriously injured and was rescued by a woman, and if Xie Tong recovered from his injuries, he would definitely take revenge on the Sima family and the Huaiwang family as much as possible with his skills.
