Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

Coming downstairs, Wanyan Chuo took a long look at the downcast warrior squatting on the opposite side of the street, and thought about it.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps gradually approaching from far away, the desolate warrior moved his head slightly, as if pricking up his ears to pay attention to the movement around him.

One before and one behind, one light and one heavy, two completely different footsteps, the former is light and calm, the latter is orderly, for martial arts practitioners, they are more concerned about the footsteps behind. You know that you are a master of the middle school, with deep internal strength, and you should not be underestimated.

"May I ask you a question, why does the strong man sit here late at night?"

"Selling swords."

A cold voice sounded, the other party still had a cold look, even without raising his eyelids, Wanyan Chuo became even more interested.

"Since ancient times, the sword and the scabbard have been integrated, since they are selling swords, why are there only swords and no scabbards?"

This question successfully changed the opponent's reaction, and he began to raise his head, observed Yan Chuo formally, and replied softly: "Without him, the sword can only exert its greatest effect if it has no sheath."

Wan Yanchuo laughed immediately: "A soldier is an unknown weapon, not a gentleman's weapon. If a sword has no sheath, there is nothing in the world that can be clamped and restrained. It is really a big unknown."

"My lord's words are wrong." The desolate warrior looked up at Wanyan Chuo, and explained seriously: "Weapons are innocent, they can kill and injure human lives, and they can also punish evil and promote good. It all depends on the intention of the person holding the sword. The same Reason, a sword without a sheath, is meant for people, not for the sword and the sheath."

These words are quite insightful, Wan Yanchuo finally understood why Li Dian would say that this is a talent, he has been reduced to a prisoner, the whole family was coerced to go north, and in the end he was able to escape from the Mongols on his own , I personally proved my courage and strategy.

"I don't know the name of the strong man Gao?"

"Wanyan Wunai, Chinese name, Wanyan Nuo."

"No?" I didn't expect him to be a child of the Wanyan family. He really can't be judged by his appearance. However, according to Li Dian, this person lives in Fengzhou, a wild and backward place close to the border. Presumably, his family has fallen. What makes Wanyan Chuo even more curious is the Chinese name of this person.Generally speaking, the children of Wanyan's family don't have Chinese names very much, except for the nobles of the clan who live in Zhongdu, there is no way. In order to curry favor with the Sacred Heart, the disciples of the clan, whether they like it or not, will hire great Confucian masters who are familiar with the classics of the Han family in the mansion to preach and teach. Of course, it is also necessary to choose a Chinese name. Yes, as for the descendants of the Wanyan family in other remote areas, they don't pay so much attention. To put it bluntly, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.Under such circumstances, Wanyan Chuo was quite surprised to hear a Wanyan family member from a remote area say his Chinese name in a serious manner. "A gentleman honors promises, and every word is worth a thousand dollars. It's a good name."

Wanyan Nuo looked at Wanyan Chuo steadfastly, with unconcealable uneasiness in his eyes.Nervousness is certain, the young man in front of him is gorgeously dressed and has a good demeanor, one can tell his status is noble, this is Wanyan Nuo's opportunity, a chance to decide whether he can finally settle down in the capital of Dajin Kingdom.

Wanyan Chuo really did not disappoint him.

"Wunai, my name is Wanyan Mandu, and my Chinese name is Wanyan Chuo. I am the son of King Rong of the Great Jin Kingdom. Would you like to join my family and work for me?"

Wanyan Nuo froze on the spot, did not respond for a long time, almost thinking that he heard it wrong.

His Royal Highness King Rong of the Great Jin Kingdom?It can be said that no one knows the Jurchen. Among the six sons of the King of the Kingdom of Jin, only this sixth prince is the most favored. , King Rong also led troops to fight against Mongolia. Although he failed to win, he did not let the Mongols, who were in full swing, gain any substantial benefits.Looking at today's Dajin Kingdom, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been weak since he was a child, and he is not good at walking. The East Palace is actually in the hands of His Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun, and the only ones who can compete with the East Palace and the Emperor's Eldest Sun are the King Rong's family.

"Would you like to?"

"Yes, of course I would." I picked up all the pies in the sky. This is something that I never dreamed of. You know, there is only such a child under the name of King Rong, and Wanyan Chuo is the only one. Although there has been no news about the Prince Rong's son in Zhongdu for the past ten years, there is no doubt that such a distinguished and important figure will definitely cause new waves when he returns to Zhongdu. , the world is in chaos, and the situation is great. As a promising young man who wants to make contributions, has ideals and aspirations, Wanyan Nuo is very happy to be on the cusp of the storm. "Wanyan Wunai is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the son of the world, go through fire and water, and will not hesitate."

Wanyan Chuo was very relieved, finally someone came who could do things seriously, instead of talking about life and death all day long: "Jiang Ye, take out all the money you have on you?"

"Ah?" Jiang Ye behind him looked confused as if he didn't understand the situation.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Wanyan Chuo turned his head and glared at Jiang Ye resentfully. He has no eyesight and is so stupid that he came here to embarrass himself, right?

At the critical moment, Li Dian was still reliable. Seeing that Wanyan Chuo and Wanyan Wunai had almost talked, he walked over calmly, holding a bag in his hand, walked to the front and back, and looked at Wanyan Chuo in a tacit understanding With a smile: "My lord, I'm ready."

Wanyan Chuo nodded approvingly. If Li Dian was there, he could save himself a lot of trouble. If it was Jiang Ye who had a simple mind and well-developed limbs, he would probably die a lot of his brain cells.

"Li Dian, thank you for your hard work."

"I dare not take it." Although it was a modest remark, it was not difficult to see from the smile on Li Dian's face that he was actually very proud.

Wanyan Chuo took the bag without looking at it, and handed it directly to Wanyan Wunai, nodded and said: "Here."

Wanyan Wunai took it without knowing why, and when she opened it, she couldn't help being dumbfounded. It was full of white silver, which was heavy in her hand.

"My lord, what does this mean?"

"I heard that you fled back to the Dajin Kingdom with your old mother and the children of the clan. It is not easy to support such a large population and a family of young and old. Since you have sworn to serve me, I will naturally not treat you badly. Take Go ahead, treat it as the settlement allowance I prepared for you."

Wanyan Wunai was grateful, but also felt flattered, he was really ashamed to accept this great gift before he had time to do anything for the eldest son: "Even so, it's too heavy."

Wanyan Chuo stopped talking, Li Dian interjected at the right time, and said, "Young Master Wanyan, don't evade any more, since it was given by the Elder Son, just accept it."

Wanyan Wunai turned her head and looked at Li Dian with some doubts.

"I forgot to introduce myself." Li Dian smiled, and said generously: "My name is Li Dian, and I am the counselor of the Shi Ziye. We will work together in the future. Please give me your advice."

Wanyan Wunai took a look at Wanyan Chuo, seeing that the other party didn't respond, she turned her head and nodded to Li Dian to salute, with a good sense of distance, neither too close nor alienated and indifferent.

"Unai, go back and settle down with the whole family. As for the rest, wait for my notice."

Wanyan Wunai nodded repeatedly.

Wan Yanchuo turned around, patted Li Dian on the shoulder, and told him: "I'll leave the person to you, so I can settle down, don't be negligent."

Li Dian bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Only then did Wan Yanchuo leave in peace.

On the way back to Prince Rong's Mansion, Jiang Ye was full of doubts, and finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He couldn't help asking: "Chuoer, I have something to ask."

"Say."

"This Wanyan Wunai, not to mention whether I have the ability to take on the important task, the key is that you just took someone for your own use, and you don't even know the details of the other party. Is it worth it to give such a big gift?" worth?"

Wan Yanchuo chuckled, he could tell what Jiang Ye was worried about: "Are you afraid that Li Dian didn't investigate carefully enough, or that he has bad intentions, and that he will take me out of it?"

Really worthy of his nickname, smart.

"Jiang Ye, for the sake of your wholehearted consideration for me, I might as well tell you some news." Jiang Ye thought for a while, and told Jiang Ye the news he had received before in a more understandable way: "Father fought against the Mongols this time and failed to win. Grandpa Huang must be concerned. I heard that not long after King Father returned to the central capital, Grandpa Huang arranged for Anguo Army Jiedu Envoy Li Renhui to go to the front line. Lao Jun, meanwhile, is carrying a bunch of blank appointment letters, do you know what that means?"

Jiang Ye shook his head.

"The blank letter of appointment means that Li Renhui can appoint officials below the third rank at will." Wan Yanchuo paused, and said with a slight heaviness: "And this An Guojun Jiedu envoy really lived up to everyone's expectations, just this time. With a wave of his hand, Li Renhui appointed 25 officials, large and small, and rewarded frontline soldiers with a total of 32 taels of silver, [-] pieces of silk and satin, and [-] guan. , Li Renhui asked the treasury to reimburse the expenses, and Grandpa Huang agreed to everything."

Jiang Ye was stunned by such a large sum of money.

"I'm not questioning the emperor's intention of sending people to the front line to serve as soldiers. It's just a pity that Li Renhui is not a good official who governs for the people. Such a large sum of money is not a big deal for the treasury that is about to be emptied." It is a huge burden, and what is even more regrettable is that there are only a handful of soldiers who can actually fall into the hands of the frontline soldiers, and a large part of it is estimated to have fallen into the pockets of these corrupt officials."

"Does Chuoer want to punish these corrupt officials?"

Wan Yanchuo shook his head: "He has the heart, but he is powerless. Besides, now that the enemy is at hand, whether it is the grandpa of the emperor or His Highness the grandson of the emperor, I am afraid that they are all worried, and they are temporarily unable to spare their hands to deal with these corrupt officials."

"Why does Chuoer think so?"

"The Mongolian wolf is ambitious, and has long intended to go south. This time, he was blocked by the army led by the father, and he failed to really get sweetness from my big gold. With the character of the Mongols who will not give up if they do not achieve their goals, I am afraid it will not be so. Let it go easily, if my guess is not wrong, the west will not be peaceful in a few days."
