Chapter 525 The news of the storm is coming

The calm passage of time is often like water, and even without realizing it, it is also in a hurry.

It was June in a few days. After a fierce battle for days, Lao Cao occasionally took time to write a letter. He found an illiterate mute in the barracks and asked him to ride a skinny donkey to the Privy Council in Tokyo to write a letter.

This letter was written to Tong Guan, saying that he was on a previous mission and was held hostage by the Jin Emperor. During this period, news came from the Liao Kingdom that Song and Liao had re-allied, but the Jin people were furious and wanted to harm them repeatedly, but they had no choice.

He was on the run and was being hunted by the Jinren Imperial Guard. The Imperial Priest, Wu Ling Sheng Mu, had infinite magic and was forced to flee into the desolate ocean. He has been wandering to this day and has not returned. Not even a tenth of his brothers have survived. I beg you to be kind enough to make the decision for him.

.

Mute wrote during the day, and Yan Qing arrived at night. Thirty carts of gold and jewelery were delivered to Tong Guan's house in an honorable manner. There was also a separate cart containing all kinds of jewelery and precious furs, which were selected by Master Li himself.

Give it to Fan Meiren.

Tong Guan saw the gift list and secretly sighed at Cao Cao's loyalty. He summoned Yanqing into the study and said with a bad face: "Wu Jiedu has always been a man of general knowledge. The Liao people used deceit to sow discord between the Jin people and me.

It is normal for the Jin people to get angry for a moment without knowing the reason. For the sake of the country, he should be forbearing, so how can he use a sword? If the Jin people are angry at me and the covenant fails, can he bear this responsibility? "

Yan Qing had already received advice from Cao Cao, and when he heard the words, he was calm and looked aggrieved: "Commander, my general is aggrieved! There are some things that cannot be explained in the official document, so I specially called the villain to tell them. Those Jin people actually started to

It is not that I want to harm my general, but I want to recruit him as my son-in-law and let him return south. After the Jin army destroys the Liao Dynasty, it is convenient for Shandong to raise troops to respond. The two groups attack together to capture Bianjing and occupy the territory north of the Yangtze River. After this is accomplished,

Make my general the King of Qi."

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard this, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "These Jurchen barbarians! Aren't they out of their minds? I'm not dead yet, and he has twenty soldiers coming, and I also want to wipe out the officials!"

Yan Qing answered the question and said quickly: "The commander-in-chief is the jade pillar of my dynasty, the golden beam that holds the sea..."

He meant the compliment with good intentions, but as soon as he said the words, he saw that Tong Guan's expression was wrong, and he suddenly understood: Ah, Yan Qing, Yan Qing, you pride yourself on being eloquent in vain, in front of a eunuch, what are the pillars? What beams?

He quickly said: "Anyway, if he wasn't afraid of the might of the commander-in-chief, how could he be willing to take out the princess and force my general to become a traitor? It's just that my general is loyal on the one hand, but not a womanizer on the other, so he refused to take his bait, so the Jin man

With a murderous intention, my general had no choice but to run away. After going through many hardships and dangers, he finally came back alive, but he also fell seriously ill and is bedridden to this day."

Tong Guan recalled carefully that Wu Zhi was able to offer even beautiful women back then, so it was clear that he was really not a womanizer. Besides, those Jurchen leopards could not change for a few years. They were princesses, so they must have grown up hunting and fishing. They had rough skin and flesh.

Thick, what color can it be?

After writing most of the letter, he thought about it for a while, pointed at the gift list with his fingers, nodded and said: "I understand this matter. You can go back and tell Wu Zhi: He is my favorite general. As long as he remains loyal and does not lose his integrity, I will

Protect him from wealth and peace for the rest of his life."

Yan Qing thanked him profusely for his kindness, but Tong Guan thought again and went to the palace to ask for an audience with the officials, saying that Miss Fan missed the emperor so much.

There was still a follow-up to this matter. In July, the Jin State sent envoys to the court to meet with the Song Emperor and question the "Song envoys who kidnapped the princess and fled privately."

Tong Guan sneered in his heart, but looked surprised, saying that Wu Zhi and the others have not returned yet, where do you start talking about this?

He blamed the Jin envoy and said that Wu Zhi was a famous general of the Song Dynasty and sent him as an envoy to show his sincerity. How could he not see the dead but alive but not the corpse?

As for the theory of escaping privately, there are only a few of them in the vast snowy land of your country. If he really wants to escape, how can he escape from your hands? There must be emotional reasons for this matter, and you must give an explanation to me, the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guan's family was also very unhappy. He had already planned before that, when Tian Hu's matter subsided, he would call for troops to be implanted in the capital. He would recognize Fan Meiren as his sister and formally present her as the king, so that he could be brought into the palace.

Wu Zhi had been waiting for this for more than a year, but unexpectedly, something like this suddenly happened. According to what Tong Guan told him in private, it was not convenient for Wu Zhi to appear in public during this period, so as to evade the blame with the Jin people.

This meant that his plan was completely disrupted. Fan Meiren cried bitterly because of this, saying that her family was not blessed and she had no chance to serve the king. Several times of love and affection from Zhao Guan's family could not stop her tears, and she felt so pitiful in her heart.

At this moment, he took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly: "We are a small country, and it is a latecomer country. As the lord of the great country of China, I took the initiative to send envoys to make an alliance. I have given you enough dignity. You misunderstood the lies of the Liao people and harmed the life and death of our envoys."

I don’t know, if you don’t ask for forgiveness, but instead ask for punishment, do you really think that my sword is harmful?”

At this time, the Kingdom of Jin did not really know the reality of the Song Dynasty. Seeing that the emperor was angry and very majestic, he felt frightened for a moment and said aggrievedly: "Our country has never harmed the envoy Wu. It was him who escaped and offended the imperial master."

, so much so that it blew into the depths of the ocean, and even our princess disappeared with it. Do you still blame me?"

Tong Guan sneered and said: "If someone goes missing in your country, why don't you blame us? Just like your envoy, if he eats people in Tokyo and kills them, we will send someone to inform the emperor of your country. The reason is that your envoy committed a crime and escaped.

But so what?"

After hearing this, the envoy knew that if there was no clear evidence, the matter had to be shelved. He smiled bitterly and said: "Well, since this person has never returned to the country, let's not say more, let's discuss the matter of your two countries joining forces to attack Liao!

"

Tong Guan snorted coldly: "Your country has harmed my general. Even though the Liao people made the rumor first, it's still your fault. Let's do this. In addition to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, you need to pick two more to conquer the Liao Kingdom."

A good city is considered as compensation for our country."

The messenger said with a grimace: "This is a serious matter, and we need to reply to my emperor before we can discuss it."

Tong Guan and Zhao Ji looked at each other, and both the emperor and his ministers were filled with smug expressions: Look at the majesty of our emperor and ministers! We can't scare those savages to death!

Marshal Tong and Miss Fan showed off their power at the same time, and the section "Wu Zhi escapes gold" was just lightly revealed.

But it was said that in early June, not long after Lao Cao sent the letter to Tong Guan, he personally accompanied Xu Churen and traveled across the eight states under his rule, secretly observing the civil affairs of each state. Any officials who harmed the people and refused to cooperate with Tongque Trading Company were recorded in his book.

On paper, he wanted to report a reason for "bandits causing trouble", eradicate them all, and then arrange for his own family members to take positions. For positions beyond his reach, he would buy his successors with money, so that Xu Churen could secretly control the political affairs of the eight states.

After going there for several days, we just returned to Qingzhou to take a rest. The "Shen Pony" Ma Ling came riding on a hot wheel and came at lightning speed.

Ma Ling was so busy that he met Lao Cao. The first thing he said was: "Brother, brother Zhu Dian was not killed by the soldiers. He fell into the hands of Wang Gong and Lao Buddha! Li Zhu and Lei Heng."

, but he was captured and taken to Tokyo."

Cao Cao was surprised and said quickly: "Tell me in detail!"

Ma Ling took a sip of tea and immediately explained the details of the farewell——

After everyone said goodbye, Fang La gathered up the people who were unwilling to go north with Cao Cao, and taught him to rectify the ruined Muzhou for most of them. The remaining several hundred people personally led the group to Quzhou to join Yu Wu Po.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Quzhou, they found the valley where Yu Wupo was stationed, but the buildings were deserted and there was not a single living person.

Fang La was startled and doubtful, so Lu Zhishen asked: "Could it be that when the news of our defeat came, the soldiers and horses here dispersed in shock?" Fang La frowned and shook his head: "I definitely won't! I am a female disciple with a proud spirit.

If you don’t give birth to a man, something must have happened.”

He picked up a branch, scribbled on the ground, and shook his head again and again: "Tong Guan retreated and couldn't come here. What happened? Hey, it would have been nice to have left the ancestors far away, but now...

I am short of a painter."

There were a total of eight heroes left behind, namely Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Ma Ling, Shi Jin, Yang Chun, Chen Da, Ruan Er, and Ruan Qi. After hearing this, the last seven nodded at the same time in agreement.

Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "Why didn't the Holy Duke ask about the Sa family? According to the Sa family, if there had been a war, this place would be in a mess. But if you look around, there is not even a drop of blood, and the warehouse is also empty. It can be seen that most of your disciples

He went to lead the troops on his own. Among the Ming Cult, who did not go with my brother, besides you, who else can mobilize your female disciple?"

Fang La woke up from a dream and slapped her legs: "My two masters, anyone can mobilize her!"

Lu Zhishen asked again: "If they transfer your female disciples, where will they go? Your Ming sect is in the southeast. How many other lairs do you have?"

Fang La had completely understood at this time: "Master Chen Houtong's Maitreya sect originally preached in the north. In the seventh year of Qingli (1047), the leader Wang Ze rebelled in Beizhou and was wiped out by Emperor Renzong. The remaining people fled to the south, and their foundation was not established.

It is considered a deep religion, but Manichaeism is powerful and deep-rooted. Besides me, Wang Gong Lao Buddha also has two disciples, Zhong Xiang and Wang Zongshi. Although they carry the banner of Ming Cult, they don’t listen to my propaganda. For the sake of my brothers, I

, it has never been dealt with.”

Lu Zhishen said: "Needless to say, your female disciple was probably deceived by Wang Gong and Lao Buddha, and brought soldiers and horses to join his disciples, but I don't know whether to go to the place named Zhong or the place named Wang."

Fang La said decisively: "Zhong Xiang, who is called 'Dongting Jiao' by people in the world, is thousands of miles away from the local area. Wang Zongshi is called 'Chanting Bodhisattva' by people. His foundation is exactly in Xinzhou. According to this, it is less than three hundred miles away. If Wang Gong and Lao Buddha turn around,

My disciple must meet Wang Zongshi first!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Shenggong, I think Wang has some bad intentions. When he arrives in Xinzhou, he might take people to Dongting again. Should we follow him and eat ashes? Why don't you take a token and ask Ma Ling

Go ahead and try to intercept your apprentice, we will catch up in time."

Fang La said casually: "What a brilliant idea! In this case, it will take a lot of hard work for Brother Ma Ling."

Now he took off the jade pendant around his waist - but when he passed his birthday, Yu Wupo personally carved it and gave it to Fang La. He gave it to Ma Ling and asked him to use the wind and fire wheel to catch up with Yu Wupo's team.

She stayed and waited for Fang La to come and join her.

Ma Ling did not refuse, put away the jade, finished preparing, and chased him along the road alone. However, Wang Gong and Lao Fo's movements were faster than they expected. By the time he found Yu Wupo's subordinates, he was already there.

In the countryside of Xinzhou, he joined forces with Wang Zongshi.

Ma Ling did not dare to show up rashly, and waited until late at night before avoiding the sentry and sneaking into his village quietly to search for the house where Mrs. Yu lived.

After searching for more than ten rooms, I suddenly heard someone speaking in a low voice with a very familiar accent. I hurriedly went over to listen and recognized the voice of Zhu Ding. He said: "I think Brother Wang Zongshi is very prestigious here, so why not?"

We must go to Dongting? Wouldn’t we have lost a good fortune in vain?”

Ma Ling discovered Zhu Tong's whereabouts. She was overjoyed and breathed a little thickly. She was immediately noticed by the people in the house. Wang Gong and Lao Fo shouted sharply: "The lackeys of the Imperial City Department are entangled day by day. Isn't it over?"

Before he finished speaking, the man broke through the window and flew out. He stabbed him with his sword.

Ma Ling relied on her own ability and was not afraid at all, so she immediately engaged him in battle. The two fought for seven or eight times. Wang Gong Laofu's sword was unpredictable, and Ma Ling couldn't resist it, so she hurriedly sacrificed the gold brick.

When Wang Gong and Lao Buddha saw that he was using magic, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so he hurriedly danced his sword to protect his whole body.

When Ma Ling came to Bangyuan Cave, the man had already hid in the secret room, so he didn't know who was on the other side.

At this moment, seeing that Ma Ling had extraordinary abilities, especially the Golden Brick Technique, which was agility and swiftness, far superior to Demon Lord Zheng's techniques, he couldn't help but ask for help: "Little brother, you are so skilled, wouldn't it be embarrassing to do things for those who have no eggs?"

Qu? How about you just join me as the Ming Cult and I will make you the Right Envoy of Light?"

When Ma Ling heard this, he must have thought that he was from the Imperial City Division. Although he didn't know the reason, he still followed the words and said: "The rebels are arrogant. I am working for the imperial court. How can I help the rebels?"

Wang Gong Laofu said angrily: "Kui Xiangyang came specially to kill me, but both of us were injured. It can be seen that the fate of the Zhao family dynasty is over. You call me a traitor today, but you don't know that I have achieved great things. You are the traitors!"
