Chapter 242: Variables
"I like the eternal flame on the top of the light, do you have one here?" Yue Wudi asked, looking into Xiao Er's eyes.
Xiao Er's eyes moved, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, there is any kind of fire that the guests want, please come with me." Saying that, he led the way first, and Yue Wudi followed Xiao Er to a private room above the restaurant.
"Guest, please wait a moment, our treasurer will personally come to discuss with you about the Holy Fire. After Xiao Er served a pot of tea, he walked out, and after a while, a very burly-looking man walked in, closed the door, turned his head to look at Yue Wudi, and was immediately stunned.
"Subordinates will meet the sect leader again!" After the burly man reacted, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Hmm. Yue Wudi nodded and said, "This seat happened to pass by here, and when I saw the holy flame mark of this sect, I came in to take a look. ”
Bi Zai said: "Fortunately, the sect leader is here, otherwise the subordinates don't know where to go to find you, and the Han Zuo envoy in the south has already sent three urgent letters, saying that everything is ready in the south, just wait for the sect leader to go over and take charge!" As he spoke, he took out three letterheads from his arms, and the fire paint seals on them had already been opened.
Yue Wudi took the letterhead and didn't rush to take it out to look at it, but asked, "How many people have read this letter?"
Bi Zai said: "There are three symbols of holy fire on the letterhead, within the scope of the central capital, only subordinates who are one of the six scattered people of this sect are qualified to see it, and the rest of the people have naturally not seen it." ”
Yue Wudi nodded and said: "Yes, my Mingjiao is about to do a big thing, all rules and regulations must not be ignored, Bisan people have done a good job." As he spoke, he took out the letterhead, compared them one by one according to the passwords he had memorized in his mind, and read the contents on the letterhead one by one.
After reading it. Yue Wudi pondered slightly for a moment, and then said to Bi Zaiyu: "Han Zuo's envoy sent a letter saying that the Bi San people's battle formation kung fu is second to none in my sect, so he hopes that this seat will send the Bi San people to participate in the Northern Expedition, what do you think about this matter?"
Bi Zaiyu already knew about it. Therefore, he didn't think about it anymore, and said directly: "If the sect leader thinks that his subordinates should join the war, his subordinates will follow the sect leader to the south." ”
Yue Wudi frowned slightly, in terms of fighting alone, Bi Zaiyu is not outstanding among the six scattered people, he is just an ordinary first-class master, but if he is placed on the battlefield, with this person's innate divine power, he has a one hundred and twenty pounds of drum urn golden hammer in one hand. is indeed brave, such a fierce general, it is indeed a pity not to put him on the battlefield. Han Yanxuan's suggestion is not unreasonable.
"You have the ability to perform on the battlefield is indeed the most appropriate, but the things on the side of Zhongdu are also very important, and if you don't have a person of sufficient weight, this seat is not very reassured. Yue Wudi paced and said, "Is there any suitable candidate for Bisan to take your place in Zhongdu?"
Bi Zai is overjoyed, and it is his dream to fight on the battlefield. Originally, he was worried that Yue Wudi would disagree, but now he heard that the sect leader's tone was loose. Immediately said without hesitation: "Sect Master, my subordinates think that Wu Zhao, the sixth scattered person, can do it, he was originally the chief banner of the Five Elements Banner, and he has a good reputation in this sect, and he has also secretly preached with his subordinates in Zhongdu over the years. I can't be more familiar with the things in Zhongdu. ”
"Okay, Wu Zhao will be in charge of the affairs of Zhongdu!" After Yue Wudi heard this, he said in one sentence: "As for you, Bisanren, go south with this seat." In the affairs of Zhongdu, this seat will give you a day to hand over. ”
"Yes, Sect Master!" Bi Zai was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Yue Wudi sat alone in the private room, sipping fragrant tea, his eyes looking at the door that was gently closed by Bi Zaiyu, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
If it weren't for the Northern Expedition, I would never have thought that you would be the only famous Southern Song Dynasty general in the Northern Expedition of the Kaixi Dynasty in history!
Yue Wudi doesn't know much about Bi Zaiyu, only that the Kaixi Northern Expedition in history was a failure on the whole, and only the army led by Bi Zaiyu won successive battles and became a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, although the Northern Expedition in history ended in failure, Yue Wudi believed that this Northern Expedition would definitely not fail.
Mingjiao has been preparing for this for six or seven years, whether it is the training of soldiers, or the equipment of weapons, or the allocation of commanders, they have all achieved an impeccable level, which is completely different from the hastily launched Kaixi Northern Expedition in history.
Yue Wudi opened the window and looked at the bustling subjects of the Jin Kingdom who were bustling under his feet, drunk with gold, and thought like this.
The next day, Yue Wudi and Bi Zaiyu each took a fast horse, all the way to Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and after ten days, they finally arrived at the capital city where the warm wind made tourists drunk.
When he arrived at Han's Mansion, Han Yanxuan was discussing with Xin Qiji.
"Lord Xin is also here, what a coincidence!" Yue Wudi said to Xin Qiji slightly.
Xin Qiji was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Han Xiang has a young man who will come to participate in the grand event, and the old man has always wondered if that young man deserves such a reputation as Han Xiang, but he didn't expect it to be you, hehe, the old man should have thought of it a long time ago!"
Yue Wudi said: "Lord Xin has praised it falsely, recovering the Central Plains is also the ambition of the younger generation, this time Hengshan Academy also sent a group of disciples to participate in the Northern Expedition, how can the younger generation not come?"
Han Yanxuan seemed to be a little surprised and said, "It turns out that Mr. Jiaxuan and Yue Shaoxia have known each other for a long time?"
Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Han Xiang doesn't know, although the disciple of Hengshan Academy was brought over by the old man, but its real owner is this Yue Shaoxia!"
Han Yanxuan seemed even more surprised, stood up and said, "It turns out that Yue Shaoxia is so young and promising, which surprised Han!"
Yue Wudi smiled slightly, he and Han Yanxuan acted like this, just because he didn't want to expose his and Han Yanxuan's true identities in front of Xin Qiji, but what kind of character Xin Qiji was, I was afraid that he was already suspicious.
However, even if Xin Qiji finally discovered Yue Wudi's identity, it didn't matter, Yue Wudi confided in his ambition when he was in Daihu Villa, and Xin Qiji was willing to help him establish Hengshan Academy, at least it means that he would not oppose him.
The reason why he is so pretentious is that the identity of Han Yanxuan's Ming Sect's Bright Left Envoy cannot be announced, even if Xin Qiji knows, he can't say it on the surface. Otherwise, if it leaks out, Han Yanxuan may no longer be able to gain a foothold in the court, and his political enemies will not let go of this opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
Xin Qiji is such a wise person, and naturally he can see that the relationship between Han Yanxuan and Yue Wudi is not very simple, but no matter what, the purpose of the two of them is to recover the Central Plains and return the Han people to a world without flaws. As long as it is with this purpose, Xin Qiji will fully support it.
As for whether they are loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, this is far from the most important thing in Xin Qiji's eyes. From his birth to his youth, more than 20 years, he spent more than 20 years under the rule of the Northern Central Plains and the Jin State, and he also had the desire to expel the Jin people with his own strength, but the Jin people were so powerful that they had to go south to submit to Zhao Gou, hoping that the Southern Song Dynasty could regain its territory with his assistance.
It's just that the encounters of these decades made him understand that the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty couldn't support the wall in the mud at all, and this court wanted the Northern Expedition to succeed, unless there were big variables.
Now, Xin Qiji saw this variable in Yue Wudi and Han Yanxuan. He is happy to let this variable grow and never stifle it. So just smiled slightly.
The three of them tacitly looked at each other and smiled, and then they all laughed, so that Bi Zaiyu on the side was a little confused, after all, he was not a completely brave and unscrupulous person, and he did not directly call Han Yanxuan Han Zuo's envoy.
"Master Xin, Han Xiang, this is a friend of mine, his martial arts are not high, but he is a natural fierce general, I want to take advantage of the opportunity of this Northern Expedition to kill a few more golden people!" Yue Wudi pointed to Bi Zaiyu and said.
Han Yanxuan smiled and said: "Since Yue Shaoxia said that you are a fierce general, the old man naturally believes it." But when you first come to the army, you still have to start as a pawn, are you willing?"
Bi Zaiyu said boldly: "Willing, willing, as long as Han Xiang prepares a pair of drum urns and golden hammers for Bi, each weighing one hundred and twenty catties, Bi will be able to achieve the position of a general sooner or later with his military exploits!"
Han Yanxuan laughed and said: "Okay, it's really a good man, the old man is the best craftsman to build, as long as you can afford a pair of drum urns and golden hammers of one hundred and twenty pounds each, the old man will let you go to the forward battlefield to kill the enemy!"
Bi Zai met with great joy and thanks.
Xin Qiji looked at Bi Zaiyu carefully, and then said: "Yue Shaoxia and Han Xiang's subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
Yue Wudi and Han Yanxuan both laughed, Yue Wudi said: "I'm afraid Lord Xin hasn't been in vain in Hengshan Academy all these years, but I heard Youming say that there are already a number of useful disciples in the academy, especially one of them named Meng Zongzheng, who is a rare talent." ”
Xin Qiji smiled and said: "Let's not talk about the rest for the time being, this Meng Zongzheng is really good." Han Yanxuan's brows moved, which can make Xin Qiji say that it is good, it is definitely not ordinary. But Yue Wudi's forces in Hengshan Academy and the Iron Palm Gang, he never dared to investigate, so he didn't know anything about Meng Zongzheng.
Xin Qiji said: "Han Xiang is in a high position, and of course it is impossible for every one of the officials below to know about it. ”
Han Yanxuan was even more surprised, and said, "What does Mr. Jiaxuan mean that this person was originally an official of the imperial court?" (to be continued......)
