royal robes

Chapter 556
What was Zong Xin thinking?Such a large army in my family didn't know how to use it, and instead let the soldiers of the Song clan who had just been hit hard to resist the coalition forces of the Northern Han and Khitan. How could the Song clan bear it?He even asked Guo Wei to come in person. Is he planning to proclaim himself emperor after Guo Wei is killed?
Of course, Zhao Kuangyin was just thinking wildly. He knew that Zong Xin would never cheat Guo Wei. It was definitely not because Guo Wei was his father-in-law. The more important reason was that Zong Xin liked Guo Wei very much.

Maybe others don't know, but Zhao Kuangyin knows it very well.Zong Xin, who is upright and upright like Guo Wei, has always liked him.Although Guo Wei is very smart, he never disdains to act with treacherous schemes, and everything he does is aboveboard.Zong Xin admired Guo Wei's character. Even after he became emperor, Guo Wei still had this upright character, which was the most precious thing.

"I'm really worried. The Song clan has too few people now. How can they fight against the powerful Khitan and Northern Han coalition forces?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "And Weizhou City is not considered a military powerhouse. The city wall defense capability is too poor. I'm really worried about the Northern Han Dynasty." The soldiers just knocked down the city wall and rushed in."

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just that you overestimated the strength of Beihan. As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. I know the characters of Liu Chong and Murong Yanchao very well, and they are very afraid of me. So as long as I use some tricks, they will give in."

"Is it really that easy?"

"It's not easy, but at least there is a chance. If I don't make a move, Guo Wei will undoubtedly die. If I make a move, it will be half and half. As long as my arrangements are correct, not only will Guo Wei not be damaged, but the war will be won beautifully." Zong Xin nodded resolutely, but Zhao Kuangyin found that Zong Xin's firmness seemed to be encouraging himself. Perhaps countless battles had been staged in his heart, but the actual situation was changeable, and Zong Xin did not dare to guarantee any thing.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "You can do it if you say so. Anyway, the matter of Yandao has been done. What should we do next?"

"I just said, let's go shopping." Zong said: "Recently, I was in a hurry and didn't have a chance to take a good rest. The development of Xinzhou City is really good. Let's go eat seafood. The shrimp and crab here are cheap and delicious. It’s delicious. The seafood is different, much more delicious than the fish and shrimp in the river. It’s a pity that there is no wasabi... Otherwise, I really want to eat sashimi.”

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while, and then said: "There is mustard...you don't even eat mustard, do you?"

"Go away, where is the mustard here?"

"It's something made from crushed mustard seeds and mixed with water, yes..."

Zong Xin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is yellow mustard, I want green mustard. The roots of winter vegetables are submerged into sauce. Do you have winter vegetables?"

"This... what is the cold winter vegetable?" Zhao Kuangyin was also a little embarrassed, because he grew up in Luoyang, and Zong Xin grew up in Xishu. The names of the dishes in different places are different. Maybe eggplant, radish, etc. are no different, but The relatively rare wild vegetables have different names, even Zhao Kuangyin couldn't understand what Zong Xin said.

Zongdao: "Dong Han vegetable... I don't know how to describe it. Anyway, the root of Dong Han vegetable can be used to make green mustard. After grinding it into a sauce, add a little soy sauce and directly serve it with sashimi... that taste It's simply amazing. This is... the way Fusang people eat, you don't understand."

"No wonder, Wuyue Kingdom is the one that communicates with Fusang here. Other places don't like Fusang, because Fusang ronin are almost all pirates. They traveled from Fusang to the Middle Earth just to grab silver and gold here. Few people It’s really for trade.”

"I know, they have always been like this." Zong Xin was also very depressed, Fusang was like this, either bandits or pirates.But thinking of pirates, Zong Xin couldn't help sighing...

"You seem to know the Fusang people very well. I don't know much about them, and I haven't even seen the Fusang people."

Zong Xin smiled lightly and said: "Fusang is not much different from us, except that he is a little shorter. Anyway, we can't see it, let's go eat something, anyway, I haven't eaten enough seafood, so I can have more. "

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, and it's been a long time since they got together.It's good for everyone to sit together and have a meal, and let other people do the work. Anyway, they don't have to worry about this kind of thing.However, Zong Xin's trip this time...was a bit redundant, even if he didn't come, as long as he gave the order, he could finish it by himself.

Just as Zong Xin finished speaking, several women ran out from behind with Tian Ya.They have been eavesdropping behind, and everything is heard clearly.Feeling nothing serious, they naturally came out to have dinner together.

The seafood yesterday is still fresh in my memory. The fishy smell in the water is very strong, so it is impossible to travel long distances to the inland. If you want to eat seafood, you have to go to the coast.But how can ordinary people have the extra time and ability to travel to coastal areas?If it wasn't for Zong Xin, even if they were strong in martial arts and their families were rich, they wouldn't be in the mood to run around the world.

It is not easy to measure and control the secret to seafood, of course you have to eat it to your heart's content.Is one meal enough?Everyone is salivating over the seafood here.

"Almost everyone is here, call the group of foodies, and we will take the ferry to Xinzhou together. My brother is waiting there and has prepared the best seafood... eat more now, I don't know when I can go back It's here."

No matter how much time and energy you have, after all, the journey is far away. A trip can be as fast as two or three months, and as slow as half a year. No one will travel so far for a few seafood meals.Zong Xin could use the speed of a warg to run around, but even so, it would take less than a month to go back and forth once.

A group of people took the ferry back to the beach from Salt Island. This is a tropical area that can be very hot even in winter.It is late autumn now, and the sun still makes people uncomfortable. The most uncomfortable thing is Zhao Kuangyin's horse, Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei is afraid of water, let alone the sea. If Zhao Kuangyin hadn't been blindfolded and brought him along A boat, I'm afraid a hundred people can't pull it.

After returning to the land, Xiao Hei felt much better, but since he followed Zhao Kuangyin, Xiao Hei's mood has been very bad, because he is surrounded by a group of food wolves, and these wolves stare at him every day. , the shadow in my heart expands infinitely.Although Xiao Hei knew that these wolves would not eat him, but... seeing them felt uncomfortable.

Back at Lei Tianxin's mansion, Lei Tianxin had already prepared several large tables of seafood, which were naturally the most exquisite ingredients from the best chef in the area, and he was more happy than last night.

Except for a few women, everyone is a foodie, including Tianya.They usually put on a very high-end and majestic look, but when it comes to eating, their true nature is completely exposed. They are like hungry ghosts. Not grabbing them with their hands is already the biggest compliment.

'Boom~~! '

A group of people were eating happily when they heard a loud noise, and several people flew into the yard.Except for Lei Tianxin, everyone present did not respond, no matter how much movement there is, don't disturb yourself to eat.

Immediately afterwards, a decent-looking woman jumped into the courtyard, holding a beautiful sword in her hand and staring fiercely at the several people at the dining table.

Dugu Xingyue said: "I'm full, I'll go."

Everyone else had no objections, but Zhao Kuangyin immediately waved his hand after seeing this woman: "No...I'll go."

Zhao Kuangyin wiped his hands with a cloth, then walked up to the woman: "Second Sister, why are you here?"

Almost knocked the other people out, this is Zhao Kuangyin's second sister, what is she doing here?Zong Xin also felt that he had heard from Zhao Kuangyin that there were two sisters in his family, the elder sister named Zhao Ziying was married, and the remaining younger sister was Zhao Ziyan. Although he had a marriage contract with him, this marriage could not be concluded.This was the first time seeing Zhao Kuangyin's sister, and Zong Xin couldn't help but take a few more glances, and she really looked a lot like Zhao Ziyan.

"Are you still in the mood to eat?" Zhao Ziying said angrily, "You still have this shameless monk, shut up and stop eating."

Zong Xin said awkwardly, "What about you, Tianya?"

Tian Ya looked at Zong Xin with an innocent face, he had nothing to do with this matter, why did it involve me?Just now Zhao Ziying was called a shameless monk, so she must be talking about Master.

"It's you, Zong Xin." Zhao Ziying said, "Get over here."

Zong Xin nodded, then tiptoed to the ground and rolled sideways in the air in front of Zhao Kuangyin.Zong Xin is a very easy-going person. Since others asked him to roll over, there is no rule that he must roll on the ground.

Yaoyao said depressedly: "Isn't Zhao Ziying married? What is she looking for? Sister Xingyue, look... will something happen?"

"Probably not. I think Zhao Ziying came here for Zhao Ziyan's affairs."

After Dugu Xingyue shared her guess, everyone continued to eat as if nothing happened.Zong Xin had already said that he and Zhao Ziyan had nothing to do with each other, and it was absolutely impossible for them to be together.Since Zong Xin could say it out loud, no matter how much Zhao Ziying tried to force it, it would be useless, so they didn't have to worry.As for the others... After knowing that it was Zong Xin's personal matter, they didn't worry at all. They didn't care how many women Zong Xin had by his side.Even Lei Tianxin didn't care about it, although this happened in his mansion, since it's Zhao Jing's miss, it's fine.

Zhao Ziying said: "Zong Xin, let me ask you, do you want my sister?"

"It's too expensive... I can't afford it." Zong said: "Your grandfather's asking price is too high, and I can't afford it. The last [-]% of my income in Yandao was used to buy Zhao Kuangyin's life."

Zhao Kuangyin was very embarrassed. His grandfather threatened his friend with his life and forced this friend to pay for his life.What is this thing called?If this kind of thing was said, the whole world would laugh at him, but Zhao Jing didn't care so much at that time. In order for so many years of hard work not to be in vain, Zhao Jing had to get [-]% of Yandao's profits.

Zhao Ziying gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want money, is it free? Anyway, you gave Yandao [-]% of the income. No matter what it is used for, I will treat it as a betrothal gift to marry my sister. As long as you nod, I will give you [-]% of the income." She brought it here."

Zong Xin glanced at Zhao Kuangyin, and both of them felt that this matter was a little strange.The family rule of the Zhao Clan is that they cannot do business at a loss, so why give them for nothing?In terms of the personality of a person surnamed Zhao, if he wanted to marry Zhao Ziyan, even if he didn't sacrifice half his life, he would have to sacrifice half of his property.Why did Zhao Ziying say that?
