[Comprehensive] Travel to the world of martial arts and raise a boss

On the eighth day after the news came, the emperor Zhao Ji, who had been hiding in the deep palace, finally went to the early court. It was not because of his conscience that he suddenly remembered his responsibilities, but because of the reality that he could no longer just sit idly by.

The Jin envoy has come to Beijing, and he has to see him.

The arrogance and rudeness of the Jin people made people uncomfortable, but the emperor intended to negotiate a peace, but the conditions offered by the other party were too high, and even Zhao Ji, who had always been weak and liked to keep things quiet, was a little hesitant.

Gold, silver, wealth, and even beauties and singers are easy to talk about, but ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian made him silent.

Zhuge Zhengwo and the main combat faction even resolutely refused with righteous words. Lu Chongming has been watching with cold eyes. He watched the arrogance of the Jinren in the court, and he also saw Zhuge Zhengwo berate the Jinren impassionedly, but what's the matter? use it?Just like what Cai Jing said, the outcome depends only on the emperor's intentions, but on his expression, it is obviously shaken. I believe that it will not take long before he will finally agree to the golden man's conditions.

The facts were just as he had imagined. The next morning, the emperor decreed that the Jin people agreed to all the conditions, and only asked for good relations between the two countries, and the Jin soldiers would never invade the south.

Everyone knows that this is empty talk, and even Zhao Ji himself clearly understands that the retreat of the Jinren is just this time, three or four years, in short, it is just a few years of peace with money. Can come back at any time.

Lu Chongming only felt sad that a country had been reduced to such a state.

When the gold man left with a peace agreement and a large amount of gold and silver satisfied, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were relieved. Zhao Ji even found a reason to comfort himself, but it was just Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian. It has nothing to do with the safety of Kaifeng, so if you give it away, you can give it away.

While comforting himself like this, he thought of the Jinren who were about to retire, so his mood changed a little, and he even held a palace banquet for all the officials.

Zhuge Zhengwo is a man of strict discipline and self-denial, he drinks alcohol in moderation and never gets drunk like others, but tonight he drank to his heart's content.

The wonderful singing and dancing, the melodious silk and bamboo, everything in front of him is extravagant and extravagant, he resents, regrets, and intends to get drunk, but the more he drinks, the more sober he becomes.

"Master Zhuge," the deep male voice was as cold as ice and snow in the air that smelled of wine, "I offer you a toast."

In the bright lights, Zhuge Zheng and I looked at the other party's calm eyes, suddenly smiled, and then drank the wine in his hand.

Lu Chongming saw the bitterness in his smile. He looked around the hall, and finally his eyes fell on the emperor who was admiring the beautiful singing and dancing with drunken eyes. His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, " Such a person really deserves your allegiance?"

Zhuge followed my gaze and looked up at him. After a while, he said: "He is the emperor."

He is the emperor and the monarch of the Song Dynasty. No matter how incompetent he is, he cannot betray him, and he has to be loyal to him.

Lu Chongming snorted. He is loyal to the country and himself, but he will never be loyal to anyone. Even if it is His Majesty of the Mingyu Empire, his immediate boss, he only respects, not allegiance.

As for the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he didn't even respect him, and even looked down on him very much.

He couldn't understand Zhuge Zhengwo's loyalty. In his view, such loyalty was simply stupid. An incompetent emperor who didn't even protect and cherish his own country didn't deserve anyone's loyalty.

Even though he thought this way, Lu Chongming didn't say anything to try to persuade him. Zhuge Zhengwo is an upright and smart person. It's not that he doesn't understand some things, but he just can't do them.

Lu Chongming picked up the jug, filled it for him himself, and then whispered, "Let Su Mengzhen come to see me." Then he left as quietly as when he came.

Zhuge frowned at me, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, the night was getting deeper.

Su Mengzhen came very quickly, without keeping him waiting, and slipped into his mansion that night.

When he jumped in from the window, Lu Chongming was taking a shower to wash away the smell of alcohol from the banquet, and the sudden appearance of the other party surprised both of them.

Su Mengzhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sorry, I seem to have come at the wrong time, do you want me to avoid it?"

Lu Chongming shook his head, "Wait for me."

So, Su Mengzhen sat down at the table with her back to the screen.

The water vapor in the room was steaming, with a touch of heat, Su Mengzhen could clearly hear the sound of splashing water and the sound of getting dressed behind her.

Lu Chongming didn't make him wait for a long time. In less than a cup of tea, he had already put on his clothes and stood in front of him.

His hair was wet, messy and disheveled behind his head, and drops of water slid down his back, wet his back, and the navy blue robe was only loosely tied in a knot at the waist, revealing a large tight And white chest,.

Su Mengzhen was a little dazed, he had never seen him in his current appearance, he was not at all restrained and rigorous as usual, but had an unruly and unrestrained taste.

"Zhuge Zheng's efficiency is pretty good," Lu Chongming said with folded arms, "Your movements are also fast enough."

Su Mengzhen smiled, and he handed over a bowl of hangover soup that was already on the table, and said, "Master Gu has an invitation, how dare I neglect it."

Lu Chongming picked up the bowl, frowned, and drank the bitter hangover soup in the bowl one mouthful at a time.

Su Meng got up, closed the half-closed window, brought him a towel and motioned him to wipe his hair, and then continued: "You will call me here, there must be something important, how can I Not coming."

Lu Chongming ravaged his long hair almost rudely. Ever since he came here, there have been many things that bothered him, including this troublesome long hair. If it weren't for the rules of this time and space, he would have Just cut it off.In his opinion, short hair is so simple and refreshing, but such long hair is troublesome to wash and comb, it is simply suffering.

Su Mengzhen has been with him for three years, and knows some of his living habits. He smiled helplessly, and couldn't bear to see that long satin-like hair turned into weeds, so he took the towel in his hand and wiped it for him. up.

Uncle Lu Chongming sat on the stool, enjoying each other's service, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the three years in Yanzhou.

It wasn't until his hair was half dry that Lu Chongming said lightly: "I really came here because I wanted to ask you for help, but I don't know if you dare."

Su Mengzhen raised her eyebrows, her flat voice carried a kind of incomparable confidence and arrogance, "There is nothing in this world that I dare not do, only things that I am willing to do."

Lu Chongming didn't seem to be surprised by the almost rampant words of the other party. After several years of getting along, he knew that this person was a tough and arrogant person in his bones, which didn't match his sick boy-like appearance at all.

"I promise it's something you'd absolutely love to do."

Lu Chongming got up and whispered a word in his ear, just one sentence, but Su Mengzhen's complexion changed drastically, her delicate eyes suddenly widened, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

……

A thin figure came out of the window, and several ups and downs disappeared into the night. The person who had already left did not know that behind another half-closed window, a pair of unfathomable eyes kept looking at him until he disappeared. The talented person in white clothes murmured, "It's very lively tonight, tsk, Gu Lanxi... What do you want to do..."

Lu Chongming didn't do anything strange, he was just killing people, to be precise, he was using Su Mengzhen's knife to kill people, killing the envoy of the Jin Ren.

Originally, he planned to let Bai Mingmo go, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to cooperate with Su Mengzhen, because of his strong martial arts, and because he has the solid backing of Jinfengdriyu Tower, which made the success rate of this matter even higher. Gao, because he loves this country, and honestly, he appreciates him. Although the two will be enemies or friends in the future, he is willing to cooperate with him now.

Su Mengzhen and Zhuge Zhengwo are both staunch advocates of war. They don't want to negotiate peace, and they don't want the Song Dynasty to always give in and be forced into the abyss step by step by the Jin people. But they are also stupid and loyal, and they can't let go of those monarchs and ministers. Therefore, only after the emperor issued the imperial decree will he accept his fate, and he will be helpless and powerless.

But Lu Chongming was different. He stayed out of the matter from the very beginning, and kept himself awake. He didn't pay attention to the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

If you want to fight the main battle, and want to completely destroy the contract between the two countries, instead of expecting the emperor to change his temper suddenly and be able to take a hard look, it is better to kill the Jin envoys and completely cut off all hopes of peace talks.

This is the method Lu Chongming came up with, resolute, decisive, without leaving any room for it.

The success of the matter requires the cooperation of others, and Su Mengzhen is the best candidate. Compared with Zhuge Zhengwo, he has less loyalty to the emperor and more of an open and chivalrous spirit, and he himself hates the Jinren extremely , for this assassination mission, he does not reject it.

If you don't repel, things will not be difficult to succeed.

After all, Lu Chongming couldn't hold back and waded through this muddy water.

The development of the matter did not exceed his expectations. In the afternoon of the next day, news came that the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin had been assassinated and died in a post station not too far from Bianliang.

The emperor turned pale with fright, and hurriedly summoned all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. When Lu Chongming arrived, there were already more than [-] important officials standing in the imperial study room, and the majestic king of a country was sitting in a large dragon chair with his back bent. His old face was extremely ashamed, and his face was completely lost.

"My dear friends," his voice was trembling, "The envoy of Jin is dead, so he died in the territory of Song Dynasty, what should be done, what should be done..."

The officials looked at each other, Cai Jing first stepped forward and said: "Don't panic, officials, first we have to clarify the matter before we can discuss countermeasures."

His steady voice, with a bit of comfort, finally woke up Zhao Ji's mind from the inexplicable panic. He looked at him with trust and approval, and Zhao Ji asked the eunuch beside him to hand over the memorial on the table to him and said: "The Jinshi and his party, together with the people in the station, totaled 120 people. All of them were killed, and no one survived. Even the station was burned down."

Cai Jing glanced at ten lines at a glance, and then passed it on to the next person. Zhao Ji walked up and down on it, and said in a panic: "If the envoy is killed, the Jin people will definitely not let it go, maybe they will go south to fight. This, this... finally being able to negotiate a peace, isn't this a failure, you guys quickly think of a way out!"

Everyone was silent, not even daring to take a breath, if they were asked to think of a way, they would panic, okay?

Seeing that the emperor's face became more and more ugly, Cai Jing secretly winked, and one person stood up and said, "Here, the officials are wise, we must first find out who the murderer of the envoy of the Jin people is, and give the Jin people an explanation." , maybe things have turned around."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, if you want to find the murderer, find the murderer quickly!"

At the end, his complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Where's the governor of Kaifeng? And the people from Yushitai, what are you all doing!"

Following the scolding, two people wearing black hats quickly knelt down and lay down on the ground.

Zhao Ji became even more angry, pointing at them and said angrily: "It's been so many days since I was assassinated, but I haven't found out, and this time there was such a big mistake, what do I want you to do, it's like raising a bunch of trash!"

The two people kneeling wanted to cry but had no tears. The assassination of the emperor was indeed due to their inability to do things, but the killing of the Jin envoy had nothing to do with them. They were not responsible for the security of Bianliang, let alone the officials outside Bianliang. This is venting anger, but they can't refute it, unless they don't want their own life.

Perhaps it was because of the panic that he finally found an outlet, Zhao Ji scolded the two of them bloody, and finally, after ordering them to find out the real culprit within three days, he drove them out.

The emperor was angry, and no one dared to make a sound. At such a time, he went to tease the tiger's beard, except for one person, whose slightly deep voice was very clear in the study.

"Officials, the Golden Envoy is dead, we have no way out, let's fight."

As soon as these words came out, almost all eyes fell on that slender and tall figure, and everyone's faces were filled with surprise.

The one who spoke was none other than Lu Chongming, Lu Chongming, Cai Jing's disciple.

Some people are already secretly looking at Cai Jing. Everyone knows that Prime Minister Cai is a staunch peacemaker, but his favorite student proposes a main battle at this moment. Isn't this a blatant slap in the face.

People who are usually at odds with him are already planning to watch a good show.

Zhao Ji was also taken aback by Lu Chongming's "Let's fight". He looked at Cai Jing, who was standing at the bottom, and then at the young man with a calm face, and frowned, "What does Gu Qing mean?!"

Lu Chongming calmly said: "Why do you deceive yourself and others, the Jin envoy is dead, the Jin emperor will definitely not let it go, this war is inevitable, even if the murderer is found out, no matter how much gold and silver money is sent, it is useless, since there is no way to avoid it." It can be avoided, why not let it go."

What he said made Zhao Ji pale. He is not really a fool, he is just cowardly and cowardly. The iron hoof of the golden man going south, but he just wanted to escape, and wanted to grasp the only possibility.

But Lu Chongming's calm and rational words completely shattered his illusions.

Lu Chongming pulled up his clothes and knelt down, throwing the ground and said loudly: "The official's family has learned, I am willing to personally lead the army, beat the golden people, protect my Song Dynasty, and hope that the official's family will be successful." I'm used to it.

Everyone didn't expect him to come out like this, and they were all surprised. No one spoke for a while, and even Zhao Ji couldn't react immediately.

Zhuge Zheng and I carefully looked at the resolute side face of the young man. From the beginning to the end, he kept watching and listening, without making a sound. He was the only one who knew the truth among all the people standing here.

When Su Mengzhen told him, the fire had already been set off and the person had already been killed. He really didn't expect that this young man who had only seen it in the court hall and had been quietly installing sculptures would do such a deviant thing.

Yes, it is deviant. Although killing the Jin people is a very pleasant thing, the envoy sent by the Jin Kingdom has another meaning. The two countries do not cut each other, let alone after the emperor's decree has been issued, what he did What you do is no different from resisting purpose.

Zhuge Zheng felt as if he was seeing him for the first time, his eyes were full of surprise. This emotion reached its peak when the other party proposed to go out in person. He felt that he might have underestimated this person all along. Cai Jing's promotion, Su Mengzhen's appreciation was not without reason, but he couldn't see through him.

In the silence, Zhuge Zhengwo waved his sleeves and came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, the golden man is ambitious, and he will not let it go. I implore the officials to fight!"

As soon as he stood up, the main fighters who were still vacillating also stood up. Although they didn't know what this Cai Xiang's favorite student was doing, it was a good time, so they all agreed.

As for Cai Jing's family, because of Lu Chongming's special status, and because of Cai Jing's silence, some people even wondered if Lu Chongming would say this, and whether Cai Xiang had changed his mind, so they stood still.

When half of the people took the lead in the battle and no one opposed it, Zhao Ji, who was already weak, wavered.

But Lu Chongming knew that he hadn't really made up his mind yet, and there was still a sliver of luck in his heart, but Lu Chongming was not worried, nor was he in a hurry. He made up his mind, because the situation didn't leave him any way out.

What really worried Lu Chongming was Cai Jing. After leaving the palace, he returned to the mansion smoothly. Cai Jing didn't send anyone to call him, and the next two days were calm, and this is the most dangerous.

If Cai Jing called him to reprimand him, there was still room for things to turn around, but it was such a calm situation that really showed that the matter was serious. Lu Chongming knew that the other party had already become suspicious of him.

Cai Jing is an old fox, the more calm he is, the more it shows that Lu Chongming is in a difficult situation at the moment.

Even so, after Lu Chongming made this decision, he never regretted it.

Things did not go as he expected, only three days later, the news that the Jin people attacked Yanshan Mansion came.

Zhao Ji fainted suddenly from shock, and the imperial physician hurriedly poured medicine to treat him. After he woke up, Lu Chongming went to play again to ask for a fight.

At this moment, Zhao Ji had lost his mind, and after Cai Jing also stood up and agreed with Lu Chongming to lead the expedition, he hurriedly wrote down the imperial decree, asking Lu Chongming to serve as the Hebei system envoy, leading 20 troops to resist the Jin people.

This result was expected by Lu Chongming, but what puzzled him was why Cai Jing would speak for him?Now that there is already a gap between the two of them? !

Although Lu Chongming didn't understand, he wasn't too worried. The battle was imminent, so he wouldn't be confused for too long anyway.

Sure enough, Lu Chongming was invited into the prime minister's mansion that day. Although it was only a few days later, both he and Cai Jing knew that the relationship between the two had changed, and they were guarded and suspicious.

"Zizhou is about to go to war, is everything ready?" Cai Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly, just like usual.

"There is nothing to clean up," Lu Chongming said calmly, "Everything is ready, thank you Cai for your concern."

"It's cold in the north, so Zizhou should bring more clothes."

Lu Chongming should be, the back and forth between the two is the same as usual.

It's just acting. Although Lu Chongming doesn't like it, it's not like he can't.

Cai Jing was silent for a moment, and finally said: "In this way, Zi Zhou can be regarded as fulfilling his wish."

"I would also like to thank you for your success, Teacher." Lu Chongming bowed to salute, "Zizhou only wants to serve the country."

"It's a good one to serve the country. Zizhou has lofty aspirations. This old man will know the beauty of an adult and help you." Cai Jing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Just rest assured that you are in the army. I will take your son back to the prime minister's mansion to take care of him personally, so that you No worries."

Lu Chongming's heart tightened, and his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves. He tried his best to suppress the trembling in his heart, and said calmly: "Is this - is it too much trouble for the teacher? I can take him with me, or just let him It's okay to live in Gu's mansion, someone will take care of him."

"Nonsense!" Cai Jing scolded lightly, "Where is the army? Is it child's play to fight the Jinren?! Zizhou's actions are so absurd! As for Gu's mansion, you are gone, there are only a few servants in it, and Xiaochao is still there. Small, and there is no one around, what if something happened to bully the master? It’s better to be safe by my side.”

Seeing his silence, Cai Jing smiled and said, "I know you don't want to part with your son, don't worry, no one in the Xiangguo Mansion will bully him."

He has already said this, and Lu Chongming has no reason to shirk. After all, he still missed a move, and the last move was pinched seven inches by this old fox.

He couldn't refuse, because if he refused, maybe he wouldn't even be able to get out of this door today.

Cai Jing watched him leave. He admired this disciple very much and promoted him again and again, but he seemed to find that the other party's wings were full, and he seemed to want to escape his control, which he absolutely did not allow.

If he wants to lead the army, it's fine, anyway, he happens to lack a military force, but if he wants to betray, even if he regrets it, he will personally destroy him!
