Song Beiyun

Chapter 218, November 11th

The snow that had stopped for a day began to drift again in the early morning. Song Beiyun stood in the small courtyard and looked at the heavy snow in the sky. What is it like?"

Yan Shu shook his head lightly and said, "Then how do I know, I'm not that clairvoyant after thousands of miles of clouds and moons."

"Come on, dear grandson, I'll teach you another trick." Song Beiyun squatted under the eaves and picked up a small stick: "How can we judge whether there is a problem in a place? We can judge from three aspects."

Yan Shu put on a face of listening attentively, while Song Beiyun used a small stick to draw a lot of small squares on the ground, with the words Song, Jin, Liao grassland and so on written on them.

"Great Song Kaiyuan is famous for doing business. Merchants from these countries will gather around Luzhou and Jinling for business, not because of convenience but because of the large market size, where various materials can be exchanged without worrying about a backlog. Song Beiyun poked Yan Shu with a stick: "This is the background as well as the premise. If we rely solely on spies to find out the news, our information will be too far behind. There is a kind of person in the world who is much smarter and more informed than spies."

"You mean merchant?"

"That's right." Song Beiyun smiled: "Since the beginning of winter, have you noticed that the sales of beef and mutton have decreased, and the price of beef and mutton has increased, but there are more cattle and sheepskins? The prices of sheepskins, tendons, and horns in the market have fallen to this level. Lowest point in years."

"Yes, I also bought a piece of rawhide." Yan Shu nodded and said, "I'm going to make a drum."

"The changes in commodities are partly due to policies, and partly due to the weather." Song Beiyun tapped a magnolia tree next to him: "Merchants of foreign races are collecting all kinds of daily necessities, but they are actually exchanging them with strategic materials. Grain, iron pots, salt, cloth, vegetables, etc. have gradually become in short supply. If it were not for the strict restrictions of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the price of food in the city would have skyrocketed."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"With less food output, other secondary materials become less important. Horns, tendons, and leather are used to make bows, crossbows, and leather armor. When have you seen such a large-scale sell-off? This shows that the north is suffering A disaster, not only a disaster, but also a rare catastrophe in recent years, the herdsmen had to hoard the meat that was originally used for selling, but exchanged these important strategic materials for food and other daily necessities from other countries." Song Beiyun poked in the grassland area: "Let's talk about the Liao Kingdom later. What do the merchants in the Liao Kingdom sell the most? Grain, mainly wheat and flour. But after winter, the grain exported by the Liao Kingdom dropped sharply. Two-thirds are replaced by some handmade products and wooden products, what does this mean?"

"Indicate what?"

"idiot!"

Being scolded abruptly by Song Beiyun, Yan Shu was dumbfounded. He has been calling others idiots since he was a child, so why is he called an idiot? But after all, he used to say "know what you know and don't know what you don't know", so he could only keep silent He bore Song Beiyun's humiliation.

"It means that the Liao Kingdom is preparing for war!"

"Why can it be said that the Liao Kingdom has also suffered a disaster?" Yan Shu asked puzzled.

"This depends on the commodity structure. If there is a disaster, their grain output will not be lower than that of Song Dynasty, so the products they import will not be grain but cloth, medicinal materials, wood, etc. to deal with the disaster. Years of supplies, but now they are making good friends with Da Song while preparing for the war, which shows that the disaster on their side is not serious, but the other side of the grassland is already in a mess." Song Beiyun said with a smile: " Look, there are three of the Big Four in the East, and do you know who the other one is?"

"Golden State!"

"That's right." Song Beiyun nodded and said, "The most comfortable place here is the Kingdom of Jin. He doesn't have much trade with Song Dynasty, and their white mountains and black waters are almost covered by heavy snow every year at this time of year. People can't get in and they can't get out. Come on, these people have already adapted to this way of life, so for them, it's just a relatively unusual winter. Now, Liao Guobao will take advantage of this snowstorm to have a head-on confrontation with the grassland. And the real intention of King Nanyuan coming here is not only for the good of Qin and Jin, but also to ask for help from Song Dynasty."

Yan Shu scratched his hair: "But I didn't hear any wind."

"Are you stupid, can this matter be exposed? Maybe the letter of credence has already been placed on Zhao Xing's table. In order to ask for help from the Song Dynasty, maybe the Liao Kingdom offered a very generous offer." Song Beiyun said, He suddenly opened his mouth to catch the snowflakes, and then spit out: "Bah, it's tasteless."

Yan Shu nodded lightly: "It seems that there are some scholars in this merchant."

"That is."

At this moment, Xiaoyu came back in a hurry. He leaned close to Song Beiyun and whispered a few words in his ear. Song Beiyun nodded and said: "Order, follow my order, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if you lose your head when the time comes. What does the old eunuch mean?"

"I have already explained it to my big companion, he said that everything should be done by Mr. Song." Xiaoyu said seriously: "But Mr. Song also said that Mr. Song will bear all the consequences."

"This bastard who doesn't grow."

Song Beiyun scolded, Xiaoyu's face became very subtle, his expression looked very embarrassed, and Song Beiyun immediately apologized: "I didn't say you, I didn't say you, I said that old bastard, you are a good little fish, you are a good little fish. That old bastard is different."

Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing: "Master Song doesn't need to explain anything to me, I'll go and arrange it now."

"Follow my orders." Song Beiyun instructed, "Don't startle the snakes, you know?"

"Understood, the 30 people who came this time are all top experts, and they are guaranteed to be safe." Xiaoyu nodded seriously: "Master Song, please rest assured."

"Go."

Xiaoyu quickly disappeared into the snowy forest, and Song Beiyun came back to his senses: "There is a good show tonight."

"Good show? Why do you decide it's tonight?"

"Tomorrow morning, many dogs will come up to burn incense and worship Buddha. Tonight is the last chance. If you miss it, you have to wait for the next time. There may not be a next time."

"Then why is it night?"

Song Beiyun got up, too lazy to talk to this brat: "Think about it yourself."

He went back to the room, and then got into the wool felt, lying on the hot blanket, very comfortable.But Yan Shu ran in on the back foot: "Come on, let's continue talking about Song Jinliao."

"What's there to talk about? It's boring." Song Beiyun yawned: "The so-called Song Jinliao is nothing more than idiots pecking at each other. If you can give me ten years and then give me 10 people, I'm a motherfucker." It can fill the British Isles with the flag of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"British Isles? Where are they? Also, don't talk big."

"Yes, yes, I'm talking big." Song Beiyun didn't bother to explain, and turned over: "Don't bother me, I want to catch up on sleep, and I have to do big things tonight."

Yan Shu thought for a while, and sat next to Song Beiyun: "Nuo Nuo, I'll sleep for a while too."

"Get out, I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you, go to the other side by yourself."

At noon, Song Beiyun and Yan Shu were still sleeping like pigs, and Qiaoyun and Aqiao brought food for the two evil beasts, but after eating the food, they continued to sleep, and they slept like this until evening.

Facing these two freaks, the girls really have nothing to do. After all, they are all first-class geniuses. Isn't it natural for geniuses to have some eccentricities?

In the evening, Song Beiyun gathered everyone in Zuo Rou's room as if nothing had happened, and ate hot pot. This time, the main dish was beef and mutton, but because he went to the temple to get some rare vegetarian food, this delicacy With meat, the taste of cooking in one pot is extremely delicious.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Jin Ling'er knelt there, her condition was much better compared to yesterday, and she began to think about Song Beiyun's plan in her heart.

"What am I in a hurry for?" Song Beiyun picked up a mushroom and put it in his mouth: "Look at how I can turn things around with this one, and have both ways."

"You still have this kind of ability?" Zuo Rou raised her head and looked down on Song Beiyun while binge eating: "Then why don't you ride the wind and rise."

Jin Ling'er and Song Beiyun tacitly ignored this guy, but Song Beiyun twisted her thigh, and then continued to listen to Jin Ling'er saying: "Why don't you take the opportunity to reveal the Queen Mother's affairs and ruin her reputation? "

"It's useless." Song Beiyun shook his head lightly: "We all thought that the queen mother was the one in power, but now it seems that it's all fake. The real power is the owner of the interest group behind the queen mother. If I'm not wrong, it should be the queen mother The clan he belongs to. Since Li Tang, the clan has been cut down a lot, but now it seems that they have raised their heads again, and the queen mother is just a pawn. And even if the queen mother is brought down, the court will fall to that Have you helped the shit literati, there are no reformers among them, they are all people who vent their anger, isn't it good that someone is singing against them now?"

After Song Beiyun finished speaking, he suddenly laughed: "You don't think that without the queen mother, your brother the emperor can hold the power? Impossible, he was lifted to the throne by others, before his power was supported , people can still kick him down."

Jin Ling'er nodded thoughtfully: "My sex brother is really miserable."

"Otherwise, why do you think he wants to go back to farm and raise chickens?" Song Beiyun laughed: "So, he and your father really have nothing to do. His Royal Highness Fu Wang can only be that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. But don't worry, everything will be fine in a few years, in a few years."

"It will be a few more years." Jin Ling'er pouted, "It's annoying."

While the other end was talking, the little fish from outside climbed over the wall and rushed in like a shadow, and clasped its fists at Song Beiyun: "Master Song, it's over."

"Okay, I got it, you tell your people to be sober, don't look at what you shouldn't look at, and don't chew your tongue when you shouldn't say it." Song Beiyun patted Xiaoyu's head, and then pointed to Zheng Wen who was beside him. A pot of untouched ingredients: "That's for you, I'll eat it when I come back."

"Little fish understands."

Song Beiyun also stood up: "Sister Qiaoyun, let's go."

Qiaoyun nodded, held two iron chopsticks in her hands, followed Song Beiyun and walked out.

Chapter 219, On November 11th, the sunny platform started from the base of the soil

At night, everything is silent, except for the sound of falling snow crushing branches from time to time, and occasional hares foraging for food pass through the bushes, leaving a line of footprints.

The guards stood drowsy in the temporary hut, because the Baoen Temple was safe and sound, so they didn't have to do anything like usual, not to mention that the Queen Mother would keep away the idlers at night. Wait, there are only a few cronies left to guard here, and the guards are not made of iron, and they are more or less tired after days of cold weather.

He stared at the fire in the meditation room not far away and the silhouette reflected on the window by the fire, and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.Although the person in the room is the queen mother, but she is of the right age and charming, and the pampered place is well maintained, she looks like the kind of stunner who can make a man feel numb.

But now the scene of spring in full swing is uncomfortable, but the cronies are cronies after all, even if they are restless in their hearts, they still fulfill their duties.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the darkness to cover his mouth, and then a sharp dagger pierced into his chest. After a while, his original life disappeared in the vast snow. among.

After a while, a person wearing the clothes of the imperial guard stood at the original position of the personal guard, and the same was true of the other guards.

At this moment, it was still snowing heavily outside, but the house was also full of heat, and from time to time, there would be melodious sound waves coming out of the window.

In the faint light reflected by the heavy snow, dozens of figures quickly approached, and after receiving the gesture from the man who replaced the guard, they drew their daggers from their arms and surrounded the meditation room.

But at this moment, the king of the South Court who was working suddenly realized that something was wrong. He got up and quickly put on his clothes. The queen mother with erratic eyes asked inexplicably, "My good brother, what's wrong?"

Before the words were finished, several figures broke in through the window from the outside, and the cold wind mixed with blood poured into the meditation room. The King of the South Court immediately picked up the dagger he carried with him and began to fight.

His kung fu is not weak, after all, he is a person who has fought on the battlefield, but this battle failed to scare him.But the meditation room was extremely small, and he had to protect his sweetheart, he gradually began to fall into a disadvantage. There were many scars on his hands and body, but he still didn't take half a step back.

But in the end, two fists were no match for four hands, the disadvantage was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more scars on his body. Although he instinctively avoided the vital point, the pain gradually slowed down his movements.

At this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded outside, followed by a series of screams outside the door, and then a seemingly thin figure rushed into the meditation room, and wiped out the throat of a person in an instant, Then two more people came in, a man and a woman dodging left and right in this small room, each with a good bunt ability.

With the help of these three people, the Great King of the Southern Courtyard, who had been in decline, quickly regained the upper hand. After he killed two people in a row, the last one was also nailed to the wall with a chopstick.

At this moment, a gloomy young man walked in, and he bowed his hands to Song Beiyun: "Master Song, all the thieves are killed."

Song Beiyun waved lightly and let everyone go out. After only the King of the Southern Courtyard, the Queen Mother and Song Beiyun were left here, he cupped his hands at the Queen Mother and said, "I am too late to save you."

The queen mother was still in shock at the moment, she didn't even bother to cover her body, she just sat there in a daze, only crying.

Song Beiyun glanced at it, and sighed that this woman in her 30s is still in such a good figure, after all, she is the queen mother... To be able to see the queen mother's nai in this life is also considered a great adventure in life.

"Empress Dowager, please don't panic." Song Beiyun rolled his eyes and continued: "I am the official Zhu Bian and the imperial envoy Song Beiyun, and this time I am here to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager."

When he said this, the expression of the King of the Southern Courtyard suddenly changed. He took a deep look at Song Beiyun. He knew that if the matter between himself and the queen mother was revealed, it would not be a difficult problem, and it might even trigger the Liao and Song Dynasties. A major earthquake in the officialdom of the country.

"you……"

He was about to speak but was interrupted by Song Beiyun: "Empress Dowager, I'm not good at things, so I came a little late. Fortunately, the King of the South Court of Liao Dynasty passed by here and fought off all the thieves with his own strength. Here, I would like to represent Si Ming Si thank the prince!"

The queen mother was almost recovered at this time, she quickly covered her body with a blanket, glanced at the king of Nanyuan and then at Song Beiyun, and then said after taking a deep breath: "Yes yes yes, thanks to the king of Liao You waited too late, if there is a next time, I will not let you off lightly."

Song Beiyun pleaded guilty again and again, but he glanced at the King of the South Courtyard, then chuckled lightly, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please take care of your Majesty, I'll send someone to see if there are any fish or turtles that slipped through the net. By the way, people from Jingzhao Yamen and Huangcheng Division will be here in a quarter of an hour."

After he finished speaking, he withdrew, leaving only the queen mother and the king of the South courtyard in the room.The King of the South Court walked over and hugged the Queen Mother lightly: "Yu'er, are you alright?"

"Brother Jin...the wounds on your body..." The Queen Mother looked at the bloody lover with the attitude of a little girl: "Are you all right?"

"It's nothing more than a trivial matter." After putting on the clothes, the King of the South Court gathered the clothes for the Queen Mother: "You also put on the clothes, as the man said just now, someone is coming in a quarter of an hour."

"Brother Jin... We... If our matter is exposed, can you take me away?"

The king of the South courtyard pinched her face: "No."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked out of the Empress Dowager's Temple. When he went out, he saw corpses all over the ground outside. Song Beiyun stood not far away with his hands behind his back. The sky had cleared up at this moment, and the moonlight broke through the clouds, making the surroundings look bright.

"My lord was shocked." Song Beiyun cupped his hands far away and said with a smile, "I never thought that my lord is no longer a young man, but he is still a dragon, a tiger, and a sword that is not old."

In the field of yin and yang art, Song Beiyun feels that he is a little bit worse than Yan Shu, and no one else can surpass him. I just don't know if the prince of Daliao can understand it. If he can't understand it, he just pretends for nothing.

Fortunately, the Prince of Liao is not a waste, he knew the meaning of Song Beiyun's words as soon as he heard it, he pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice: "Why?"

"My lord, you are bleeding." Song Beiyun pointed at his hand: "Really, you are bleeding."

"No problem." The King of the South Campus just shook his hand: "Why do you want to do this?"

"You asked me why, my lord, why did you come to Song Dynasty?" Song Beiyun said with a smile, "You wouldn't travel thousands of miles just to see that sister Yu'er who is always dreaming of you."

"You!" The King of the South Court slightly narrowed his eyes: "You really know a lot."

"How much? Not much." Song Beiyun laughed: "I will look for you later, my lord. God knows this matter, you know it, I know it, and the Secretary of Command also knows it. As for whether other people know it, I don't know." .”

After finishing speaking, Song Beiyun walked forward humming a song with his hands behind his back, and suddenly turned around in the middle of the walk: "By the way, my lord, you are really bleeding."

"Are you really an imperial envoy?"

"It can be." Song Beiyun laughed: "That's right, one last thing, I didn't save today's thugs, but they are all from the Liao Kingdom. Do you understand my words?"

This time Song Beiyun really left, and after he finished his last sentence, the king of Nanyuan was extremely shocked. He tore off the mask of a corpse on the ground and found that it was really from the Liao Kingdom, because behind their necks The dead man's tattoo was found, and this tattoo only belonged to the great nobles of the Liao Kingdom.

He squinted his eyes, cursed angrily, then turned around and walked into the house to bring out the queen mother from the pile of corpses. Under the guard of Si Mingsi, the two were placed in a safe place.Treatment of injuries, treatment of injuries, cooking of cooking.

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Baoen Temple was sealed off, and rumors spread in the market that someone was going to assassinate the Empress Dowager. Fortunately, the officials had already expected and ordered people to arrange everything in advance so that the villains would not succeed. The entanglement was extensive, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Minister of Dali Temple, and Yin of Jingzhao Mansion entered the palace to apologize before dawn, Zhao Xing lost his temper as usual, and people from the Queen Mother's line also began to spread rumors everywhere that those civil servants were trying to assassinate the Queen Mother.

"Song Beiyun! Song Beiyun! Song Beiyun!" Zhao Xing was pacing back and forth in the study while pointing at Song Beiyun: "You have only been in the capital for a few days, and every now and then you will send me thunder."

"Hahahahaha..."

"You're still laughing!" Zhao Xing pointed to Song Beiyun and said to the old eunuch next to him, "Look, he's still laughing!"

Old eunuch Wang lowered his head and echoed, "This guy deserves to die."

"Old man, what are you talking nonsense about, I deserve to die? All right, let's figure out who deserves to die today." Song Beiyun rolled up his sleeves unconvinced: "Let's start with the Commander..."

"Ah, the officials don't want to be angry, whoever is angry will be happy!" The old eunuch quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll go make you a pot of tea."

"I want it too." Song Beiyun yelled, "Add some sugar."

Zhao Xing was really angry, this matter was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.Regardless of whether my own mother is the biological mother or not, she is actually a fucking couple with his mother's other prince... Hey, to put it bluntly, it is adultery, what is this?He turned around for a long time and became the son of Ren Daliao?

It's a fucking thing that can't be tolerated, okay?

"Officials, this matter..." Song Beiyun laughed again as he said, "It's going to rain today, and my mother is going to get married. It's a matter of love between men and women, right..."

"Song Beiyun!!!" Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and said, "If you say something sarcastic to me again, I'll find someone to cut your tongue off!"

"Let's talk." Zhao Xing's chest rose and fell violently: "You broke the matter for me, and you will solve it for me!"
