Wolf Dysprosium

In July, sinking water.

The fleet broke through the waves and sailed northward. The flood has gradually receded, and traces of the flood can still be seen along the coast.It's just that at this time the fleet passed Youli to Liangjing, and all the tragedies in the lower reaches of the sinking water were left far behind.

Jin Yan was reading a book in front of the window, and in his hand was a volume of "Records of Chivalry", which was written by Ming Yetang Shen Deng, and it was very popular in the world.Jin Yan remembered seeing them from time to time at the stalls of Yang He, Liang Jing and Xianmen. "Records of Chivalry" has a total length of seventeen volumes, and it is still being added continuously. It records all the people and affairs of the Jianghu in Dayu, which is very interesting.

Chen Shuang was sitting at the other end of the low table, making tea carefully.The room is quiet, and you can occasionally hear You Junshan chatting with the sailors on the deck.Cen Rong was in another cabin. He was very drunk last night, and he probably still has a hangover.

It has been nearly ten days since he left Xianmen, but Jin Yan still remembers every word he said to Xia Houxin in the last meeting.

Knowing that Cen Rong was going to take him into the palace, it was impossible not to be excited.Jin Yan had been waiting for such an opportunity. He wanted to ask Emperor Renzheng face to face if he really thought that Jin Mingzhao was wrong.

Due to the steaming heat, the corpses in Xianmen City began to emit a stench.Xiahou believed in people to burn it, but most of the people in the city were believers of the seven sects and nine religions, and they refused to destroy the corpse, so finally Ming Yetang came forward.Yue Lianlou had to go to see the burning situation every day. He loves cleanliness and is good at grooming. As a result, his body stinks every day, which cannot be covered by any fragrant flowers and powders, and his temper is getting worse and worse.

When he said goodbye to Xia Houxin, Xia Houxin had just come down from the mountain, his trousers were rolled up high, and his feet were muddy.He was very surprised to learn that Jin Yan was going back to Liang Jing, and quickly made a happy expression to congratulate Jin Yan.

Jin Yan didn't want to be courteous with him, dismissed the people around, and asked Xiahouxin directly when only himself and Xiahouxin were left: "Master Xiahou, can you tell me the ins and outs of the military rations in Changliang City?"

Xia Houxin asked back: "What does the little general know?"

Jin Yan secretly scolded Xia Houxin for being cunning, no matter what, he refused to tell what Grand Master Liang had done from his own mouth.Jin Yan told all the things he knew: Liang Anchong withheld the relief food and ordered Xia Houxin to use the victims to snatch the army food in order to hold back the Northwest Army.After the defeat of the Northwest Army, he had a reason to impeach Jin Mingzhao, help his son-in-law Zhang Yue to the top, and gradually take away the military power of the Northwest Army.

But Liang Anchong did not expect that Jin Mingzhao would die in battle.The death of Jin Mingzhao made Liang Anchong instantly extremely passive in front of Emperor Renzheng, and it also made Da Yu instantly fall into the dilemma of suffering at the northern border and the northwest border at the same time.In order to reduce the influence of the military ration matter, Liang Anchong first blamed Jin Mingzhao's defeat on the grounds that he fled in fear of battle and failed to lead the army. Exile all over the house.

Xia Houxin dialed softly: "At that time, the court was full of turmoil. Although my benefactor was Grand Master Liang, I didn't know until then that there were so many ministers in the court who supported his actions."

Jin Yan: "He has already laid out all the plans. If my father hadn't died in battle, the officials' condemnation would be enough to ruin my father's reputation. Grand Master Liang is determined to win the military power of the Northwest Army."

Xia Houxin didn't say a word, just smiled.

Jin Yan: "Master Xiahou is also a person who makes money."

Xia Houxin: "I dare not take it."

Liang Anchong kept Xia Houxin and finally dispatched Xia Houxin to Xianmen City.Zhang Yue was transferred from the Northern Army to the Northwest Army, and eventually became the commander of the Northwest Army.But what Liang Anchong didn't expect was that before the Bishan League was signed, Cen Rong stepped in and went to Bishan City to discuss the alliance.Emperor Renzheng was also dissatisfied with Liang Anchong at that time, so he naturally agreed.

What surprised Liang Anchong even more was Jin Yan's message to Cen Rong.Liang Anchong still doesn't know about the abandoned city at the northern end of Fenghu City. It has become a fire bomb buried in the Bishan League, which may detonate at any time.The Bishan League presided over by Cen Rong was affirmed by Emperor Renzheng. Liang Anchong had little effect in the Bishan League, and he felt more and more nervous.

After that, Cen Rong, who was trusted by Emperor Renzheng, began to try to seize power from Liang Anchong, and Sheng Keliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was his first target.

"The military rations for the Northwest Army can be called Grand Master Liang's ingenious plan. It's a pity that the Jinqiang people were too aggressive, and my father died at Baiqueguan, which ruined Grand Master Liang's good deed." Jin Yan said in a low voice, "What Jin Yan said above is true. Is there a mistake?"

Xia Houxin nodded slightly: "As expected of the queen of General Zhongzhao." He was always impeccable in his speech, and he didn't say a word to criticize Grand Master Liang.

His words convinced Jin Yan that his guess was completely correct.

Jin Yan asked again: "If I, Taishi Liang, and Lord Xiahou sit in front of the officials in the future, and state the ins and outs of this matter in detail, will Lord Xiahou be willing to testify for me?"

Xia Houxin narrowed his eyes and smiled.He finally stopped playing sloppy eyes, didn't ask what was the matter, and stopped talking about his relationship with Liang Anchong, and just said straightforwardly: "I don't want to."

Jin Yan had expected that he would answer like this, so he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiahou, for your frankness."

Xia Houxin continued: "Thank you, General, for your understanding."

The two were silent for a moment, and Jin Yan changed the subject. "Went Tianzong of Xianmen was also arranged by Grand Master Liang early. He must have a plan for you to come to Xianmen."

Xia Houxin asked again: "What does the little general think of the picture?"

Jin Yan realized that this was not a reluctance to answer questions, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly recalled something.

Before going to Youli with Xia Houxin to beg Cen Rong not to open the sinking flood channel, Xia Houxin once called all the people from the seven sects and nine religions in the city to Jin Yan in order to reassure Jin Yan and arrange the internal affairs of Xianmen.When Xia Houxin said that he hoped that the sects would put the lives of the people first, abandon sectarian prejudices and disputes, and work together to rescue Xianmen and the cities downstream of Shenshui, not many people actually responded.

Mingyetang belonged to Jianghu sect, and Yangshou Yuelianlou was present, so he quickly agreed to help.But the rest of the sects hesitated and remained silent.Xia Houxin persuaded him many times, repeating the truth over and over again, but some people still feel that it is wrong: floods are not ordinary disasters, if people from seven sects and nine religions save people from death in a disaster, what should we do?The Seven Sects and Nine Religions are not the government. If they can convince the people now, the government will never be able to afford to suppress a charge of inciting the people in the future.Taking a step back, even if they are really willing to help, there are many sects and the government has insufficient manpower. It is a new problem who listens to whom when doing things.

After a long stalemate, Wen Tianzong's Beiyu Si Tianshi suddenly stood up.He took the two suzerain protectors on his left and right, and offered to ask Wen Tianzong to take the lead in leading the seven sects and nine sects, and work together with the government and Ming Yetang to rescue the people in the sinking water.

Thinking back at this moment, Jin Yan suddenly realized that the leaders of the rescue of the cities downstream of the sinking water were actually the officials of Xianmen City, Mingyetang and Wentianzong.In fact, all sectarians obeyed Wen Tianzong's orders, and Xia Houxin's meeting and dispute made Jin Yan see the influence of Wen Tianzong.

A big sect like Wentianzong spread almost all over Dayu, from south to south and north to Liangjing. Where there are people from Dayu, there must be a Dayu sect.In addition, there are seven sects, nine sects, and even eight sects and twelve sects of folk witchcraft.Jin Yan couldn't help thinking of what the old bookseller Lu Hong said: The country is about to fall, and demons are rampant.

His heart sank: "Teacher Liang doesn't want to use the influence of Xianmen. He has already managed Wen Tianzong to become the leader of all sects in Dayu. As long as Wen Tianzong gives an order, all sects will listen to them. But now , Wen Tianzong is in his hands."

Xia Houxin didn't admit it, didn't deny it, and sighed lightly. "If the little general grows up for a few more years, I'm afraid he will become even more terrifying."

Seeing Jin Yan pondering, Xia Houxin said again, "I am afraid that some old people will rot in their stomachs forever, and they will never say it. I hope the little general will not blame him. The little general looks at the whole situation, but don't forget to seal the fox." The five princes in Fenghu City and Fenghu City, as well as the southern border that has not yet had a trace of movement. Guangren King Song Huaizhang guards the southern border, and Pingxi General Zhang Yue guards Fenghu City. The two princes have their own reliance, and the future is unpredictable. Chaos, take care."

These are the most sincere words Xia Houxin said in a long conversation.

Jin Yan still couldn't forgive Xia Houxin for robbing food, which was the most critical reason for the defeat of the Northwest Army.But getting rid of this resentment, he has to admit that Xiahouxin is useful and worthwhile, and sometimes he even knows that he is full of tricks, exquisite and cunning, so he has to use it.

"What are the future plans of Master Xiahou?" He turned around and asked when parting.

Xia Houxin sent him to the mountainside, and the strong and strange smell of burning corpses wafted in the wind.Everyone covered their faces with cloth towels, and their faces were gray.At this time, Xia Houxin lost the caution he had just taken every step of the way, and said with a smile, "Could it be that the little general can take me back to Liang Jing?"

Jin Yan: "If Master Xiahou has this heart, Ziwang will definitely do his best."

Xia Houxin's eyes flickered: "Forget it, you can't protect yourself now."

When Jin Yan recalled this sentence, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.Chen Shuang put a cup of Mingqian Longjing in front of him: "What are you laughing at, little general?"

When Xia Houxin was mentioned, Chen Shuang immediately frowned.In his opinion, Cen Rong has a fox face, but he can't compare to Xia Houxin's fox heart.Xia Houxin's words were impeccable, and his actions were smooth and thoughtful. Chen Shuang couldn't understand his tricks. "In the Mingye hall, the hall master and Master Deng probably have that ability." Chen Shuang said.

Jin Yan thought to himself, if Chen Shuang didn't understand it, let it be. He didn't intend to explain, which would only increase Chen Shuang's worry.

Xia Houxin's so-called saying that Jin Yan could not protect himself was entirely because he learned that Emperor Renzheng planned to see Jin Yan.

Jin Ye was brought back to Liang Jing by Cen Rong. Even though there were all kinds of gossip, anyone with a little brain in the court knew that Jin Ye was a pawn of Cen Rong.Cen Rong wanted to use him to checkmate Liang Anchong.

But now that Emperor Renzheng planned to see Jin Yan, Liang Anchong couldn't sit still and wait for death.There are many dangers on the way back to Beijing, and it is even more turbulent after arriving in Liangjing.Even if Cen Rong treats Jin Yuan kindly now, Xia Houxin sees it clearly: Jin Yuan cannot convince Cen Rong about the Dingshanyan matter, and his status and identity with Cen Rong is at best an old friend.If there is a conflict, the conflict is so serious that Jin Yan must be sacrificed, whether Cen Rong is guaranteed or not, no one can tell.

Seeing that he fell silent, Chen Shuang was about to get up and get a fan to fan him when the open hatch was suddenly pushed open and Cen Rong walked in.He frowned slightly, his face was pale, and he looked depressed after a hangover that had not fully recovered.

Sitting carelessly in front of Jin Ye, he stared at Jin Ye unabashedly.

Jin Yan: "Does your head still hurt?"

"...It hurts like hell." Cen Rong said in a low voice, "I had many nightmares."

Jin Yan: "What did you dream about?"

Cen Rong: "There are a lot of dead people. There are corpses in the sinking water. One by one, they crawled towards me on the side of the boat, wanting to catch me."

He rubbed his forehead and groaned.Jin Yan poured him a cup of Longjing: "You have a rest."

Cen Rong stared at him for a long time before speaking: "I thought you would scold me again."

Jin Yan: "I don't want to waste my energy."

Cen Rong signaled Chen Shuang to leave, Chen Shuang turned over with displeasure, walked out the window, and sat on the roof of the cabin.After leaving Youli City, the sinking water became clearer day by day, and now the closer it is to Liang Jing, the clearer it is like a mirror, wild water can be seen from the boat, and green mountains can be seen at the bottom of the water.

He only heard Cen Rong's low voice in the cabin: "When I came to Youli, Dad said that he wanted to see you. Dad's condition is not good, and he even sent someone to Fenghu, intending to call Fifth Brother back... I Knowing this, you can't forgive me, but I also have my own difficulties..."

Chen Shuang rubbed her ears, and heard a boat lady singing a boat song on the river. The singing sounded like a warbler singing through the green hills.

On the seventh day of July, Jin Yan and his party finally arrived in Liang Jing.Cen Rong returned to the palace to see Emperor Renzheng, and asked Jin Yan to go back to the mansion to rest and wait for Emperor Renzheng to summon him.He took You Junshan away, and Jin Yan went home with Chen Shuang.

Halfway through the car, there were too many people on the road, so Jin Yan simply got out of the car and walked across the streets and alleys with Chen Shuang.

With sharp eyes, Chen Shuang saw a stall in front of her selling double-headed lotus.The person holding the double-headed lotus and looking left and right seems to be Ji Chunming.

The author has something to say:

Stories beyond stories:

Zhang Mo was also in Xianmen City, so Zhang Mo went to Xianmen City on the first day to deal with the corpse.

Because Yue Lianlou was unwilling to go no matter what, he thought it was too dirty and smelly.

When Zhang Mo went back to Ming Ye Tang that night, Yue Lian Lou greeted him with hugs as usual.But before she realized it, Yue Lianlou turned her head and vomited.

Zhang Mo: ...

Yue Lian Lou: ...

From the next day, Yue Lianlou resolutely replaced Zhang Mo's job and went to see the situation of the corpse by himself.

Chen Shuang was so moved that she praised him rarely.Yue Lianlou confessed: Zhang Mo's body smells too bad, I would vomit.

Chen Shuang: But you also stink.

Yue Lianlou: That's right, it's strange, but when Zhang Mo approaches me, he won't vomit.

Chen Shuang was angry.That night, he chased and beat Yue Lianlou and ran around the fairy gate for ten laps, and wrote to Shen Deng and Ruan Buqi to scold Yue Lianlou for being arrogant.
