Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Ximen Qing remembered that after Wanyan Sagai's death, his son Wanyan Nianmudou later became the No. 1 in the army of the Kingdom of Jin. This shows the ability of Wanyan Sagai's family to control the army of the Kingdom of Jin.

Although Wanyan Sagai's family and Wanyan Aguda's family are very close now, if there is a struggle for power between factions within the Wanyan family in the Kingdom of Jin in the future, Wanyan Sagai's family is the strongest enemy of the Wanyan Aguda family, enough to challenge Wanyan The imperial power of the Aguda faction.

Historically, it seems that Wanyan Sagai died relatively early, leaving his son Wanyan Nianmuhe to be the leader of their family.Could it be that Wanyan Sagai's death was related to this disease?

Ximen Qing had a whim last night, if he could cure Wanyan Sagai's disease and prolong his life.I don't know what kind of drama will be played when Wanyan Wu Qimai faces the surviving Wanyan Sagai after Wanyan Aguda's death?

Chapter 621 Saving Wanyan Sakai

Ximen Qing's family owns a herbal medicine shop, so he knows some medical skills and commonly used medicines. He went to visit Wanyan Sagai this time to inquire about his condition, just to see if Yan Sagai was exhausted. dry.

The life of the Jurchens is still very primitive, and they basically have no medical skills, and they are not clear about the medicinal properties of various herbs.When they got sick, the shaman of the family danced to the gods and prayed for the mysterious power of their ancestors to heal them.In Ximenqing's view, this primitive treatment method is basically to get some spiritual comfort. Whether he can survive the pain depends on his own physical fitness.

After conquering the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom and occupying the land where the Han people, Bohai people, and mature Jurchens lived together, the Kingdom of Jin also had some medical doctors.But the Jurchens are still deeply influenced by tradition, and they trust their shaman gods when treating diseases.

Ximen Qing suspected that Wanyan Sagai died because of the delay in treatment by the shaman dancing god.

Ximen Qing came to Wanyan Sagai's Guoxiang Village, and asked the warriors guarding the gate to come in and report, requesting to see the Guolun Hulubo Jilie Wanyan Sagai.

Because Ximen Qing has made great efforts to help the Kingdom of Jin many times, and also performed amazingly at the Willow Shooting Conference, Wanyan Sagai has a good impression of Ximen Qing.In addition, Wanyan Sagai and his son supported the alliance with Song State, so when he heard that Song State businessman Ximen Qing was visiting, he ordered his warriors to invite Ximen Qing into Dazhai.

Although Wanyan Sagai was ill, he was not bedridden as Ximenqing imagined.At this moment, although his face lost some blood, he was still sitting in the southeast corner of the room, waiting for the shaman to get rid of his illness.

Guided by Jurchen warriors, Ximen Qing walked into the Guoxiang Village, and when he came outside the wooden house where Wanyan Sagai lived, he smelled the fragrance of burning plants and felt refreshed.It seems that this is the smell of a plant that can refresh the mind.

Ximen Qing looked into the room from the door, and saw a circle of Wanyan Sagai family members sitting in the wooden house, all looking devoutly at the shaman in the northwest corner.

The shaman was wearing a god hat and a god robe with more than a dozen bronze mirrors on it, and two waist bells hung on his belt.Holding the divine drum in his left hand and the drumstick in his right, he was beating the drum, jumping, and twisting wildly while singing.The sound of the violent beating of the god drum and the rapid shaking of the waist bell were intertwined, filling the wooden house with a mysterious atmosphere.

Ximen Qing was not a Jurchen, and was not familiar with shaman rituals. He didn't know whether he should go into the wooden house at this time, so he simply stayed outside to watch, so as not to interrupt the sacred shaman ceremony for Jurchens.

After Moyue and two sticks of incense, the shaman in the house finished the exorcism ceremony and told Wanyan Sagai that the illness on his body had been defeated by the gods of his ancestors and driven away.

Wanyan Sagai's family presented the shaman with generous gifts as a token of gratitude, and respectfully sent him out of the country village.

Seeing this, Ximen Qing walked into the house unhurriedly, and paid homage to Wanyan Sagai.

After chatting with Wanyan Sagai for a while, Ximen Qing observed his complexion, and he already had a bottom line in his heart.

I saw that Wanyan Sagai's complexion did not look haggard, it was by no means a sign that the oil was exhausted and the life span was exhausted.That is to say, as long as it is well adjusted, Wanyan Sakai can recover completely, and there are still many years to live!

Ximenqing was secretly happy, and immediately sent Wanyan Sagai the nourishing medicinal materials he bought, and told Wanyan Sagai that he started a medicine shop business in the Song Dynasty and had a little knowledge of medicine, so he specially prepared these tonics for him. He was able to strengthen his body and recover quickly.

Wanyan Sagai was overjoyed to hear this, and gratefully accepted Ximen Qing's intention.At the same time, Wanyan Sagai also asked his family to give Ximen Qing many gifts in return to show his gratitude to Ximen Qing.

Wanyan Sagai cheered up, stayed Ximenqing at home for lunch, and chatted with him about the customs and customs of the Jin and Song Dynasties.With Ximen Qing's extensive knowledge and extravagant speech, it was natural that Wanyan Sagai, a native of Liaodong, was dumbfounded and amazed.

After happily having lunch with Wanyan Sagai, Ximenqing taught Wanyan Sagai's family how to make these tonics and how to serve Wanyan Sagai to take them. Return to your own camp.

Although Wanyan Sagai was suffering from illness, his eyes were as bright as a torch. When Ximen Qing stepped into the wooden house, he saw the waist knife that belonged to Wanyan Wulu hanging on Ximen Qing's waist at a glance.However, Wanyan Sa was calm and calm, and he didn't ask rashly out of curiosity.

After Ximen Qing left, Wanyan Sagai thought for a moment, then called his confidant warriors and ordered them to go out and inquire carefully about the whereabouts of the eldest princess Wanyan Wulu these days.

Ximen Qing returned to the tent, ordered his cook to carefully cook the last bear paw, then sat there alone and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

Ximen Qing called Jiao Ting in, and asked him to choose a few capable confidant guards, bring a handwritten letter for himself as soon as possible to rush back to Song Dynasty, and hand it over to An Daoquan, the "miracle doctor" of Yanggu County, and invite him to come to Ning The city treats Wanyan Sagai.

Today, Ximen Qing has used some nourishing herbs to stabilize Wanyan Sagai's body, so that his condition will not suddenly deteriorate.Next, he will let the "miracle doctor" An Daoquan take action to completely cure Wanyan Sagai's hidden illness so that he can prolong his life.

As for Wanyan Aguda, the hero of the Jurchen, Ximenqing is still unable to directly cause trouble for him. Besides, he has a skin relationship with Wanyan Aguda's daughter Wanyan Wulu, so it is not good to directly fight against Wanyan Aguda. "Poisonous hands".

But for Wanyan Wu, the future second emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, to beg for money, Ximenqing didn't mind digging a few more holes for him at this moment, secretly setting up a few threatening political enemies for him.

Hahaha~ It feels so refreshing to hide behind the scenes and secretly manipulate and disrupt the future political situation of the Kingdom of Jin!Ximen Qing is determined to be the mastermind behind the scenes.

After Ximen Qing wrote the letter and left Huining City with his confidant guards, the sun had already set in the west, and the sun shone on Ximen Qing's camp. It was golden and red, which made people feel good.

Ximen Qing packed up his tent and waited for Wanyan Wulu's arrival.He knew that Wanyan Wuye would spare no effort to match them up and invite Wanyan Wulu to him.

Sure enough, when the scent of honey bear paws permeated outside the camp, Wanyan Wulu seemed to smell the scent. She was still dressed in white, riding a white horse, and came lightly under the golden glow.

"Brother Ximenqing, is this the 'bear paw in honey sauce' that you invited me to taste? Uncle Wu Ye said that this dish was so delicious that he almost bit his own tongue. Present the bear paw quickly." , I want to personally taste the craftsmanship of your Great Song Dynasty." Before the Wanyan Wulu man jumped off his horse, he had already yelled at Ximen Qing impatiently.

Chapter 622 Jiagu Xienu's Jealousy

The little lady Wanyan Wulu yelled in the camp, as if she was afraid that others would not know her close relationship with Ximen Qing, which made Ximen Qing helpless.

Hey~ Now that there is a need for others, Ximen Qing has no choice but to accept the unruly and willful princess of the Jin Kingdom, and greets Wanyan Wulu with a smile.

Ximen Qing helped Wanyan Wulu get off the horse, and smiled at her, "Wulu, you made me wait so long! In my camp, there are not only bear's paws in honey sauce, but also several kinds of delicious side dishes from the Song Kingdom, just wait for them." Come and taste it."

After Wanyan Wulu heard this, he happily followed Ximen Qing into his tent.

The chef brought by Ximenqing this time was previously the cook at Shiziqiao Restaurant in Yanggu County.Ximen Qing often entertained guests at Shiziqiao Restaurant, and loved to eat the food cooked by the cook, so he was selected from Shiziqiao Restaurant as one of his confidantes.

This cook's skill is indeed extraordinary, he processed the bear paw that Ximenqing gave him, and the fresh venison and mutton purchased by Jiao Ting and others in Huining City into delicious dishes, so greedy that Wanyan Wulu ignored the image of the eldest princess, Ximen Qing was flirting and fighting for food in the tent.

Looking at this straightforward, daring to love and hate Princess Jin, Ximen Qing's face was full of pampering, and he let Wanyan Wulu mess around in his tent.After the one-night fling on Songpeng Mountain, Rao was a group of wives and concubines, and saw a lot of Ximen Qing, a fat and thin official, and was also fascinated by this exotic woman.

In the tent, Ximenqing and Wanyan Wulu poured their concubine love into the fine wine in their cups, and they came and went to drink and feast.It's true that everyone is drunk without alcohol, and before he knew it, Wanyan Wulu's complexion turned red, his eyes rolled when he was drunk, and he couldn't control himself when he hugged Ximen Qing.

Ximen Qing also met the fire with dry firewood. He hugged Wanyan Wulu who was in a state of confusion and love with both arms and rolled onto the bed. .

In order to fulfill the great trust entrusted by the Ma Kuo brothers and Zhao Liangsi, the envoy of the imperial court, Ximenqing will show his might to conquer the Jurchen princess in his arms tonight.I don't know if this counts as "die for the country"?

……

Princess Wanyan Wulu of the Kingdom of Jin spent a happy night in Ximenqing's camp, woke up the next day and left Ximenqing's camp, returned to the emperor's village in Huining City, and told her mother, Empress Tang Kuo, that she missed leading the army to go to war His father, Wanyan Aguda, and elder brother Wanyan Shenguo wanted to go to the front line of Hunhe River to visit his father and brother.

Empress Tang Kuo loved her own daughter the most, and immediately agreed to her request, and sent the chief guard of the emperor's village, the loyal and brave Jiagu Xie Nu, to lead a hundred guards to escort Wanyan Wulu to the Jin Army Camp .

Jiagu Xienu is a native of Naluhuihe, Longzhou, and the son of Jiagu Bucusu, the leader of Helanlu in the Kingdom of Jin.He is proficient in Jurchen, Khitan, large and small characters and Chinese, and is brave and good at riding and shooting.

When Jiagu Xienu followed his father Jiagu Buca to meet the emperor Wanyan Aguda, he was deeply appreciated by Wanyan Aguda and was left by the emperor's side as a guard.Emperor Wanyan Aguda rewarded him with a gold medal and gave him the post of commander-in-chief of the left wing guard.

Wanyan Aguda trusts and reuses Jiagu Xienu so much, not only because he is tall and good at shooting, but also because the Jurchen Jiagu Department and Wanyan Department have a very close relationship.The Jiagu tribe lived in Longzhou, west of the Wanyan [-] tribes in the Yanchuhushui River Basin. They have been friendly neighbors and loyal allies with the Wanyan tribe since ancient times, and they have won the trust of the Wanyan tribe.

Historically, when the Kingdom of Jin established prefectures for various families of Jurchen nobles in the later period, the surnames of the nobility designated as white Jinyuan County included 27 surnames, including Wanyan, Wendihan, and Jiagu.The Jiagu family can be ranked No.3. It can be seen that among the Jurchen nobles in the same county as the Wanyan tribe, the Jiagu tribe is a tribe that is not weak. The third largest tribe in the Dihan tribe.

This time, in order to protect her daughter, Empress Tang Kuo did not hesitate to use her most trusted commander-in-chief's left-wing guard Jiagu Xienu.

When Wanyan Wulu persuaded Empress Tang Kuo to allow her to leave Huining City and go to Wanyan Aguda's camp, Ximenqing also recalled Brother Qiao Yun, Wang Yi and others from the Hudong River, and asked them to accompany Jiao Ting with him. Westbound.

Ximenqing remembered the general history, and knew that Wanyan Aguda's army was dispatched this time after they captured the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom.Therefore, going to the camp of Wanyan Aguda with Wanyan Wulu, it is very likely that he will go to the capital of Liao Kingdom with the army.

In other words, this time, on the one hand, you can observe the main army battles between Jin and Liao, get to know the famous generals of the Jin army, and be familiar with their combat techniques; on the other hand, you can also see the customs and mountains and rivers along the way to Beijing.How could Ximen Qing let go of such a great learning opportunity, so he brought all his subordinates with him.

After Ximenqing and Wanyan Wulu were all ready, they left Huining City respectively, met and formed a road outside the city, and with the full expectations of Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo, they set foot on the west to Hunhe Golden Army Camp path of.
