To The Land of Nevernight

Five days have passed since Yeluqin was assassinated.

Because Yeluqin came to Xijin Mansion very suddenly, he was assassinated that night when he arrived at Xijin Mansion, so Tang Shen didn't have much time to find out the truth.But as time passed, he gradually understood: "Xijin Mansion is the headquarters of Nanmian officials. Brother Yelushe, as the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, traveled thousands of miles to Xijin Mansion on purpose. It must not be random. The assassin must not be They sent them, otherwise, why would Yeluqin stab himself, and just let the assassin injure himself. The assassin is real, but the secret letter may not be true, and Yeluqin's innocent assassination may not be true. All of this, I'm afraid It's all a game set up by Brother Yelushe and Yeluqin!"

As the so-called authorities are confused, bystanders are clear.

Lu Shen witnessed Yeluqin stabbing himself, and Tang Shen got a glimpse of half of the truth.

Tang Shen went on to say: "Brother Yelushe came to Xijin Mansion specially to set up this situation, because most of the powerful officials in Xijin Mansion supported him. In the court of Liao Kingdom, the Emperor of Liao had not cared about political affairs for a long time, and the northern officials supported the three The prince Yeluhan, and the southern officials support the second prince Yelushe brother. Yelushe brother is here to make a plan, please enter the urn. As long as the assassin is caught, they can wait for the opportunity to attack Yeluhan. Even the secret letter, there are nine out of ten They were all forged. In order to deal with Yeluhan, Brother Yelushe and Yeluqin really worked hard."

Tang Shen's analysis was thorough and correct, and there was nothing wrong with it. In fact, these were exactly in line with Wang Qin's guess.

In the entire Liao Kingdom, the one who most wanted to get rid of Brother Yelushe was Yeluhan.And vice versa.

However, there is one thing. After all, Tang Shen just went to Liao Kingdom, so he doesn't know much about Liao Kingdom's intelligence.Wang Qin added: "It's just to deal with Yeluhan, there is no need to use so much strength."

Tang Shen raised his head suspiciously: "What does senior brother mean?"

Wang Qin said: "Most of the officials in the south are brother Yelushe, but only most of them, not all of them. Yeluhan is different. Behind Yeluhan, stands Yeluding, the grand master of the Prince of Liao." As if recalling something, Wang Qin sighed Said: "Yeluding, this person is like a needle that stabilizes the sea. If it weren't for him, the war between Song and Liao might not have lasted as long as ten years 21 years ago."

Tang Shen immediately understood: "Brother Yelushe and Yeluqin conspired against Yeluhan, but they were actually plotting against the prince and grand master Yelvding."

Wang Qin said with a smile: "Little brother, do you know the four princes, just pick one among them, even if you don't pick Yelushe who is the most talented and moral, the other two are far better than Yeluhan who is strong and brainless .But Yeluding just supports Yeluhan, why?"

Tang Shen was stunned for a moment, he thought for a moment, and said: "Yeluding was born in a noble family, so he prefers Yeluhan who is also born in a noble family."

"That's one of the reasons."

"Is there a reason?"

Wang Qin raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly: "It's easier to control a stupid one than other non-stupid ones!"

Tang Shen suddenly realized.

The Yin Yin Division had been established for two years, and Wang Qin's understanding of the Liao Kingdom was naturally far better than Tang Shen's.The Liao Kingdom is no better than the Great Song Dynasty. The Liao Emperor fought in the battlefield when he was young and suffered from injuries and illnesses.Yeluding, the minister of the court, is in charge of the power alone, unlike the courtiers of the Song Dynasty, they have split their own parties.Song Emperor Zhao Fu was very good at emperor art, even though Zhao Fu was much older than Liao Emperor, none of the ministers in the court dared to support the prince.

Wang Qin and Su Wenyun didn't mention the royal party, and those powerful officials who were not from the imperial party never expressed their position on the matter of the prince's appointment as a heir.

Because of one Zhao Fu, he surpassed tens of thousands of princes who are worthless!

If these ministers were allowed to choose, for example, let Tang Shen directly ask Wang Qin now, does he hope that Zhao Fu will die earlier and let the prince ascend the throne, or do he hope that Zhao Fu will really "cultivate immortals and become enlightened" as he wished, and prolong his life for a hundred years?Wang Qinding would answer without hesitation: "Princes are less than one ten-thousandth of Your Majesty."

This is not flattery, but frankness.

Even when he asked Tang Shen, Tang Shen could only sigh, "One more day for Zhao Fu to live, one day for peace between Song and Liao."

At night, Wang Qin saw that Tang Shen's health was improving and his fever subsided.He still needs to go back to Yinyin Company to deal with official business, so he has to leave.

Tang Shen said: "It's so late, brother, why don't we rest in Youzhou camp."

Wang Qin: "Little brother, do you know what Yu Chao was born to do in Youzhou?"

Tang Shen accepted the imperial decree just after waking up, he naturally knew: "The Holy Master sent Master Yu to Youzhou to take over my job of supervising Yin Yinsi."

Wang Qin immediately asked, "Then you inspected it?"

Tang Shen: "..."

Wang Qin: "I won't go back to Yinyinsi tonight, I will take care of the official affairs accumulated these days for you, who will cover up for you tomorrow, and fool Mr. Yu?" Mr. Wang sighed, and said: "I never thought that one day, my prince will Feng actually bends the law for personal gain and is banned for breaking the law."

What Wang Qin said was so sincere that Tang Shen didn't think about it for a while: You, Wang Zifeng, never bend the law for personal gain, and don't do deception?

Even Li Jingde wouldn't believe it!

At this moment, Tang Shen was so touched that he really wanted to sing "Only Brothers Are Good" as a gift to Wang Qin, but when he thought that this song was originally sung for his mother, he recalled Wang Qin's original line "My son is good" Qianlimu is worried."Tang Shen's face changed, and he said quietly: "Senior brother treated me very well, I was touched... a little awkward."

Wang Qin: "What's the matter?"

Tang Shen didn't answer, he said, "Let me sing a song for senior brother."

Wang Qin looked at him inexplicably, not understanding why Tang Shen suddenly wanted to sing to him.

Tang Shen then sang a few lines: "Only seniors are good in the world, and children without seniors are like grass!"

Wang Qin was so perceptive, he was silent for a moment, and said: "I always feel that this song should not be sung like this."

Tang Shen: "It's getting dark, and wild wolves are out on the outskirts of the city. Senior brother, hurry back to the city, or you won't be able to go back any later."

Wang Qin laughed suddenly: "You." The voice stopped abruptly, Wang Qin seemed to want to say something, but he closed his mouth and didn't say any more.

Wang Qin boarded the carriage, left the Youzhou Camp, and headed for Youzhou City.

Seeing that he was gone, Tang Shen was relieved.When he was alone, Tang Shen recalled: "What did Wang Zifeng want to say before he left?" For some reason, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, and Tang Shen blurted out: "Pride and pride?!"

Half a year ago, Wang Qin had said this word to Tang Shen, and now he recalled it.Tang Shen was silent for a long time, and muttered: "When did Wang Zifeng and I become like this?" He was not as wary as when we first met, he actually trusted this person with all his heart.

Tang Shen silently recalled the details of getting along with Wang Qin in the past four years. Before he could sort out a clue, the soldiers guarding outside the tent came in to report that someone had come to visit Tang Shen.

Tang Shen said in surprise, "Let him in."

After a while, a thin man wearing a black cloak walked into the military tent.This man was more than five feet tall, and his whole body was covered by a wide black cloak, the brim of the hat covered his face, only a thin white chin was exposed.When only Tang Shen and himself were left in the tent, Su Wenyun took off his hat.He raised his beautiful peach eyes, looked Tang Shen up and down, and raised his lips: "I heard that Mr. Tang was seriously injured and was unconscious. Mr. Wang took good care of him all day. I thought Mr. Tang was about to die. , I am here to see you for the last time. Looking at it now, it seems that there is no serious problem."

Tang Shen: "..."

It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory.

Tang Shen didn't care about dogs, he said calmly: "I have seen Master Su. Thank you for the secret letter sent by Master Su, otherwise I will miss a big deal when I come back one day late."

When it came to business, Su Wenyun no longer acted recklessly, he said: "I will go to Xijin Mansion tonight, hurry up and arrive in two days."

Tang Shen: "Has Lu Shen ever sent news that the assassin has been caught?"

"Not yet." Su Wenyun paused, and said seriously: "Before you leave Xijin Mansion, do you have any plans?"

The two had different political views in the past, belonged to different parties, and often confronted each other.But now the two didn't bring up the matter again, but discussed it carefully.Tang Shen: "I have some arrangements, Mr. Su, listen to me first..."

Su Wenyun stayed in Tang Shen's tent for half an hour.

In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, he put on his cloak and was about to set off for Xijin Mansion.Before leaving, Su Wenyun stopped, turned around and said, "The affairs of Xijin Mansion are very messy, so I have to clean up the mess. Mr. Tang, rest assured and recuperate, don't intervene."

Tang Shen said in his heart: I didn't intend to intervene again, I just waited for you to go deep into the enemy camp and finish Yelushe and Yeluqin for me.

On the surface, Tang Shen said: "Please trouble Master Su."

Su Wenyun looked at Tang Shen's respectful face, he sneered, turned and left.

After seeing off the plague god, Tang Shen turned off the lights and went to sleep.He didn't know that just after Su Wenyun walked out of the tent, someone put a sack over his head.Master Su panicked for a while, and shouted loudly.But no one paid any attention to him, and the person who put him in the sack didn't speak, and just punched him.

After being punched solidly, Su Wenyun calmed down, his face turned cold, and he said angrily in the sack: "Li Jingde! Stop!"

The beating general Li stopped his movements.

Tang Shen didn't know that when he went to Liao Kingdom, because Su Wenyun's ostensible job was to supervise the Youzhou camp, he often came to the military camp to make things difficult for these military officers.Su Wenyun is the right servant of the third-rank Ministry of Industry, and his official position is one level lower than Li Jingde.But he is also an imperial envoy of Youzhou military defense, Li Jingde can only listen to him.These days, the military officer in Youzhou has hated Su Wenyun so much. Today he came to the barracks alone late at night, can you put a sack on him?

Li Jingde raised his voice and changed his tone: "I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not Li Jingde."

"My surname is Li, believe it or not, I will read you a book when I return to Shengjing, and I will kill you!"

"Fuck, you little boy, why are you thinking so viciously!"

Su Wenyun yelled directly: "Idiot, try calling again?!"

Li Jingde: "..."

The corner of General Li's mouth twitched, he took out a token from his sleeve, and threw it directly to Su Wenyun. "I'm afraid of you civil servants, take it, I'll punch you, and I'll lend you a Marshal's Order to Conquer the West. I can't play against you guys who play insidiously. Let's settle the matter and return the token to me when I come back. .”

After speaking, General Li ran away.After Su Wenyun tore off the sack from his head, he kicked on the barracks tent in anger.

The next day when Tang Shen learned of this, he said with emotion: "General Li also has good intentions."

Two days later, Tang Shen returned to Youzhou City, and formally joined Yu Chaosheng on the job.

On the other side, Su Wenyun disguised himself as a servant and quietly entered Xijin Mansion.He disguised himself and found Qiao Jiu and Lu Shen.

Su Wenyun: "The assassin caught it?"

Lu Shen cupped his hands and said, "I caught it this morning and locked it in the backyard."

Su Wenyun let out an "oh" in surprise, and he hooked his lips into a smile: "It seems that the official is indeed a lucky star. He arrested people when he first arrived. Let's go, go to the backyard and choose a decent way to die for that assassin." .”
