Wolf Dysprosium

In the Northwest Army Headquarters on Junshe Avenue in Fenghu City, Cen Zin was eating quickly with a bowl of wontons.

The Jinqiang army outside Baiqueguan has listed elite soldiers, arranged along the border, and the battle flags are tumbling.

The terms of the peace negotiation with Jin Qiang could not be negotiated in the end.The biggest obstacle is the northern abandoned city of Fenghu City, which has been ceded to Beirong.Bei Rong refused to give up, Jin Qiang refused to give up, the two sides accused Da Yu, and Da Yu was a coward without saying a word.

Xi general Lei Shizhi and Cen Zin bid farewell politely, and returned to Jinqiang with the army.Not long after, Jin Qiang private soldiers Da Yu and Bei Rong border, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Cen Jin is actually ready to fight.However, the cloud lingering over the headquarters of the Northwest Army will not dissipate for a while: the Northwest Army has never had a defeat since Jin Mingzhao led it, and the disastrous defeat two years ago left everyone with lingering fears.Cen Jin's military achievements are not outstanding, and he is of royal blood, so there are still many people in the army who doubt him.

Looking at the several military newspapers in front of him, Cen Jin put down the bowl and said, "It is impossible for the Jin Qiang to raise troops against two countries at the same time. What's the idea this time?"

Ning Yuancheng, who was fiddling with the map at the side, was about to speak when someone played a report outside the door, and there was a letter from Xianmen.

Ning Yuancheng wondered: "Xianmen? The general has relatives and friends in Xianmen? Why don't I know."

After reading the letter, Cen Jin remained silent for a long time.The people who delivered the letter were not the messengers in the army, but the gang members of Mingye Hall.He personally handed over the letter to Cen Zin, even refusing to let Ning Yuancheng take over.Cen Jin put the letter in a candle and burned it, thanked the man, and personally sent him to the door.

Ning Yuancheng became more and more puzzled: "Is there any news about Jin Yan in this letter?"

"Not really." Cen Jin thought for a while, then whispered, "The letter was written by Xia Houxin."

Ning Yuancheng was dumbfounded: "...he... the general knows him?"

"I don't recognize it, but Jin Ye does." Cen Jin pushed the window to look at the scenery in the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember that Jin Ye wrote me a letter?"

"You burn it after reading it, how does Yuan Cheng know?"

Cen Jin: "He mentioned Xia Houxin to me in his letter, and asked me if I dared to realize my ambition."

Ning Yuancheng's Adam's apple twitched, and hurriedly stood in front of the window.He didn't make a sound, but listened carefully to the voices around him, making sure that there was no one around and asked almost in a whisper: "But... at that time, you were already King Xuan, and the official family ascended the throne, and everything was settled."

Cen Jin was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Anyway, Jin Yan reminded me that Xia Houxin is a skilled official and worthy of use.... I never thought that Xia Houxin would write to me on his own initiative."

***

At this time in Chi Yan, the hurricane has passed, and the weather is hot as usual, dull and unbearable.On the cliff of Aunt Mountain, Cen Jingshu and Jin Yan sat watching the scenery and talking.

"The death of the first emperor is full of doubts. I still don't believe that he will make Cen Rong the emperor." Jin Yan said, "Cen Jin has no intention of fighting, but if he knows that the first emperor died because of Cen Rong, he will be furious. "

"Xin'er and the late emperor don't really have a deep relationship." Cen Jingshu continued, "But he is an upright child, and he hates these messy things the most... Ziwang, you are still not sure about the truth of the late emperor's death. Are you going to lie to Cen Jin?"

"I was counting on Cen Rong to rehabilitate my father, but Cen Rong is no longer trustworthy. If Cen Jin is in power, he will be able to clear up the grievances between his father and the Jin family." Jin Yan said, "I'm not lying to him, I'm just relying on his strength , to look up something I might not touch."

"Like?"

"For example, the whereabouts of Eunuch Yang in Yang Zhiyuan's servant, the former emperor's servant."

"You don't have to go to this level." Cen Jingshu held his hand, "Mother doesn't want to see you busy with these things anymore, leave these things behind and live in peace."

"Mother still wants to go outside Baique Pass to find Dad's grave?"

"Of course." Cen Jingshu said.

"Me too. With such a thing in my heart, how can there be any peaceful life."

Cen Jingshu suddenly understood that her child could no longer be persuaded by these tender feelings.These two years were enough for Jin Yan to grow up rapidly.Cen Jingshu felt relieved at first, but then she couldn't help but shed tears again.She was also a child, and she knows what kind of pain a child needs to go through to become a reborn adult.

Cen Jingshu no longer tried to persuade Jin Yan. "Do you want your mother to help you with what you want to do?"

"Mother and sister are doing well, Ziwang is satisfied."

Cen Jingshu chatted with him about Helansulfone again.Jin Yan's previous praises for He Lansone were all fulfilled the moment she saw He Lansone, and He Lansone's bravery and shyness were like two incompatible colors, which made Cen Jingshu more and more curious about him stand up.

Haimen Town is undergoing difficult repairs. He Lansone helped the water pirates of the Qingqiu Gang clean up the Tunlongkou. The boats were well hidden and there were no injuries. It is a blessing.

He walked through Tunlongkou, looked up to the high place, and saw Jin Yan and Cen Jingshu talking and laughing, but he didn't know what they were talking about.When he cleaned up the dead fish that had been stranded on the shore, Zheng Wu and Chen Shuang had just returned here.

The two should have left Medicine Valley long ago, but the rocks around Medicine Valley collapsed and all roads were blocked.If there was only Chen Shuang alone, it would be easy to escape, but Zheng Wu didn't know light work and refused to let Chen Shuang carry her on his back, so it took several days.Chen Shuang was annoyed. If Zhang Mo and Yue Lianlou hadn't asked him to take care of Zheng Wu before leaving, he would have left him long ago.

As soon as Zheng Wu showed up, Qingqiu's gang of water robbers rushed forward with a yell.Everyone thought that he had encountered an accident after not returning for a long time, and some people cried secretly a few times.Zheng Wu greeted everyone one by one, and after counting the number of people, he found that everyone was safe and sound, and his stepmother was full of energy, so he was relieved.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a girl standing timidly in the corner of Tunlongkou.Zheng Wu's complexion changed: "Why is there a woman here? Drive away."

The Qiongzhou water gang was very afraid of women getting on the boat, because they thought women were unclean.The girl was dressed in red swallows to serve as an elephant envoy, but she was not afraid of him at all: "She is also a woman, how can she get on the boat?"

Yu Jiang pointed at Mrs. Bei.Mrs. Bei smiled leisurely, waiting for Zheng Wu's answer.

"She is old, and I respect the elders." Zheng Wu said rudely, "You are so young, what kind of boat do you use! Go, go, find a place in Haimen Town, and live by yourself."

As soon as the words were finished, Ruan Buqi turned over the cliff into Tunlongkou.She got lost on the way back and spent several days wandering around in the aunt's mountain, and met the talent manager in Haimen Town who came back smoothly.Ruan Buqi knew the way and the way, and didn't say hello to anyone after landing, she only cared about Jin Yan and Zhang Mo, and swished into the cabin.

Zheng Wu: "..."

Yu Jiang: "What about her! She's about my age!"

Zheng Wu: "She is an old witch."

After speaking, he turned back to look for Chen Shuang, only to find that Chen Shuang had also entered the cabin.The big boat of the Qingqiu gang originally belonged to him, but now the bandits from Ming Yetang came in and out, as if there was no one in it, Zheng Wu was so angry that his face turned pale.

Chen Shuang and Ruan Buqi came to the cabin one after the other.Zhang Mo was sitting at the table with a few brochures in his hands, looking at them carefully.Yue Lianlou sat upright across from him, not saying a word, as if he was listening to instructions.Ruan Buqi pinched Zhang Mo's arms and face: "Hall Master, are you alright? Have you spit out all the bugs?"

When the hurricane came, only Yue Lianlou was with Zhang Mo.The two moved to live in Haimen Town, and Yue Lianlou could only judge based on Zhang Mo's state whether Chen Shuang and Zheng Wu had found the place where the alchemist was.

Zhang Mo's abdominal pain was severe, Yue Lianlou was afraid that he would bite his tongue, so he forced his arm between Zhang Mo's teeth, and was bitten bloody.Zhang Mo spit out a lot of filth at the end, Yue Lianlou was horrified, thinking of those wriggling bugs taking root in his body, the more distressed he was, he refused to let go of his hand.After two full days of tossing, Zhang Mo regained some vitality under his care, and was able to drink water smoothly.

After the hurricane subsided, everyone returned to Tunlongkou and saw Jin Yan who hadn't seen him for a long time.Jin Yan learned that Zhang Mo had suffered so much in order to find Cen Jingshu, so he couldn't help crying while hugging him.At this moment, Ruan Buqi was about to cry, cursing while crying, "It's all because of Yue Lianlou!"

Yue Lianlou couldn't argue with anything, so she shut up resentfully.

Knowing that Jin Yan had returned safely, Chen Shuang was naturally relieved. He looked at the paper in Zhang Mo's hand and found that it was the accounting records of the Qingqiu Gang.

"I knew you were fond of mischief. This time you are trying to save me, but... it is absolutely impossible to introduce the Qiongzhou Shui Gang into Lie Xingjiang." Zhang Mo said to Yue Lianlou, "It's not that you don't know Lie Xingjiang. The conflict between the Xingjiang water gang and the Shanghai water gang is so great. Every year at the mouth of the sea, there are fights and fights. The river and the sea are different businesses. The river never violates the well water. You brought the Qingqiu gang into the Lie Xingjiang, what will you do in the future? You are still relying on Ming Yetang's identity, how will Ming Yetang deal with this?"

Ruan Buqi half-understood, but it was absolutely correct to scold Yue Lianlou: "Damn it, it's you, Yue Lianlou again! The hall master recovered after a long time, and you made him angry again!"

Yue Lianlou knew she was wrong, so she kept silent and only smiled at Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo couldn't blame him, he let out a long sigh: "Just cause me trouble."

Chen Shuang asked: "Is it possible that there is not at all?"

"The only way is to send a letter of worship to the door, maybe there is some possibility. But the Qingqiu Gang is too poor." Zhang Mo said decisively, "If you want to run a business in Lie Xingjiang, you always need some money to knock on the door. The annual income of the Qingqiu Gang is less than that of the Lie Xingjiang Shui Gang for a month. How can this impress them? The Jiangshang Shui Gang also advocates benevolence and justice, but they cannot talk about benevolence and justice with you for no reason. Only money can impress them, and this step will be successful Well, it will be smoother in the future."

Chen Shuang: "Zheng Wu and Mrs. Bei have helped Ming Yetang a lot this time, Ming Yetang should give them the money."

Zhang Mo: "Impossible. Ming Yetang can only recommend. We have always lived in peace with the Lie Xingjiang Shui Gang, and we have never violated boundaries. If the water gang knows the money that Ming Yetang gave to Qingqiu to help the door, Ming Yetang may not be able to explain clearly. .”

Chen Shuang blinked.A thought popped into his mind: only when dealing with the affairs of Yue Lianlou and the Jin family, the hall master will not care about the cost, and for other matters, the hall master is still the same hall master.

While discussing, there was a lot of noise outside, Zheng Wu rushed in carrying Yujiang, Jin Yan and He Lansone followed closely behind, and the narrow cabin was filled to the brim in an instant.

"Qingqiu Gang and Ming Yetang help each other, each has something to ask for." Zheng Wu threw Yu Jiang on the ground, "But women just can't get on my boat!"

He looked at Ruan Buqi: "I can't beat you, I can't help it, but this woman is Chiyan's envoy. I don't allow her to join the Qingqiu Gang!"

Yu Jiang bit her lips tightly, and Jin Yan snorted coldly: "A water gang like you still wants to go to Lie Xingjiang? I'm afraid you don't know that the biggest water gang in Lie Xingjiang is led by women."

"Then I don't care, the rules of the Qingqiu Gang are like this, it can't be broken."

At this time Zhang Mo said: "Boss Zheng, these two are my guests at Mingyetang, please forgive me if you offend me. I just calculated the number of Qingqiu Gang in the past few years, I am afraid it is still far away Not enough to impress the people of the Lie Xingjiang Water Gang."

Zheng Wu was stunned: "I have 300 taels of silver."

Zhang Mo: "At least a thousand taels."

Zheng Wu was stunned for a moment.He quickly realized, pointing at Yue Lianlou: "Liar!"

Yue Lianlou bowed her head silently.

The cabin was silent for a while, only Zheng Wu's angry breathing remained.At this time Jin Ye suddenly said: "You agree to accept this envoy and let her be the most common boatman in your Qingqiu gang, and I will tell you how to get a thousand taels or more silver in one day. "

Zheng Wu: "Who are you? What are you talking about?"

He was aware of the instant strong dissatisfaction from He Lansone beside him, but at this moment his heart was full of anger, and he couldn't care about He Lansone's reaction at all. "You guys don't count your words, you like to lie. I only believe in this leader." He pointed at Zhang Mo, "You have promised me that I will help you deal with Gu worms, and you will take my Qingqiu gang to Liexing River!"

Zhang Mo: "He is my most honored guest, he naturally counts what he says, and he is absolutely reliable."

Yue Lianlou murmured softly, "It's a hundred times more reliable than me."

"You are self-aware." Zheng Wu nodded at him, and looked back at Jin Yan.He couldn't see any merits in this thin and big man, and he didn't realize that Chen Shuang, Yue Lianlou and others had martial arts aura in him, so he snorted coldly, "What can you do?"

"Her name is Yu Jiang. Do you agree to let her join the Qingqiu Gang as your boatman?"

Zheng Wu said angrily: "Okay! So what if I agree? Can you conjure me a thousand taels of silver!"

Jin Yan nodded, and said to Yu Jiang: "Yu Jiang, those things your brother gave you, pick and keep the ones you are reluctant to part with, and give the rest to your boat boss."

Yu Jiang dragged out a package of things from the corner of the cabin, and after unpacking, the dazzling light flickered for an instant so that Zheng Wu couldn't open his eyes.The jewels and jade on the several sacred elephants, the exquisite rope blanket woven with gold and silver threads, and the fine gold net woven with large pearls were all exposed in front of Zheng Wu.

Zheng Wu: "..."

Instead, he hurriedly pulled Yu Jiang up from the ground, and said affectionately: "Sister Chiyan, you are really good!"

***

"Zheng Wu is not a bad person, but he has a weird quack air." He Lansone said, "People are interesting."

He looked at Jin Yan and said, "If you hate him, that's fine."

Jin Yan smiled: "I don't hate it, and I can't even say I like it. Anyway, we parted ways when we arrived at Xianmen."

The two sat on the rock at Tunlongkou, eating grilled fish while looking at the vast water scenery.The members of the Qingqiu Gang held a banquet tonight and had a carnival all night long. Yu Jiang was treated as a guest of honor by Zheng Wu, sharing a table with Mrs. Bei, and the delicious food and drink were brought to her like running water.Yu Jiang had never received such courteous treatment, she couldn't sit still, and she always wanted to sneak onto the deck and eat on her knees.Zheng Wu pulled her twice and scolded her before she sat down obediently.

The boat was full of excitement, but Jin Yan just wanted to talk to He Lansone in the corner.

Because of Chiyan's scorching heat, the wound on He Lansone's back was soaked with rain, and because of hastily drawing the bow, he felt faintly hot.Mrs. Bei scolded him and ordered him not to put on his shirt again until the wound healed, so He Lansone remained topless, relaxed and happy.

Only in this way, the four hideous wounds on his back can be clearly seen.
