Taking Marvel back to the Northern Song Dynasty

"Retreat—"

.......

.......

The sun shines all over the city, shining warmly over the entire Bianliang. Today, the court is still arguing about the Northern Expedition. Wang Fu has also been troubled by this matter day and night for nearly half a month. Cai Jing has always remained neutral on this matter and is not cold. If it's not hot, his students will naturally not come out on their own initiative.

Even so, Tong Guan still quietly let him know that the officials supported the Northern Expedition.

This excitement did not last long when he received some strange news. The former Hangzhou magistrate Shen Shou was killed by Fang La, the Southeast Ming sect, and his head was cut off and thrown to the county government.

This information is not trivial, and I don’t know whether it is true or not. But if it is true, then the Northern Expedition will most likely be delayed. As a result, the great achievements of Yan Yun will be further and further away.

Outside the palace gate, the sky was a little cloudy. When Wang Fu came out, he saw Tong Guan, whose figure and appearance was unusual among eunuchs, discussing things with an official, so he walked over and waited there.

Tong Guan noticed someone behind him, turned around and looked over, then showed a gentle look and smiled. He cupped his hands and said, "I don't know if Shaozai is behind Tong. It's a bit rude."

"You're welcome, Privy Councilor Tong. I wonder if you are free now. The carriage is ready over there. I would like to discuss some important matters with the Privy Councilor in detail." Wang Fu had that matter in his mind, so naturally he needed to find someone for reference. Someone with the same goal Tong Guan is naturally the best candidate.

Tong Guan said goodbye to the official who had spoken before, and then got into the carriage with Wang Fu. The carriage shaft moved and rattled against the brick pavement. In the carriage, Wang Fu pondered the emotions in his heart and then spoke out.

"...The Privy Council and I have the same position. Originally, the officials also agreed to this Northern Expedition. But something happened a while ago. I wonder if the Privy Council knew about it? I only found out about it two days ago, so I was afraid of it. Once the news reaches the ears of the officials, I'm afraid there will be a big fuss."

Tong Guan originally closed his eyes to rest, but suddenly opened his eyes to look at him, "Will it affect the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes." Wang Fu said with certainty, but in fact he was not sure in his heart. "There were some rumors in Japan some time ago, saying that Admiral Bai had discovered a prescription that could make people live longer, and he was going to donate it to the officials. But it was later taken away by the Mingjiao who was entrenched in the southeast, because The officials must be angry about this matter, right?"

Tong Guanxi thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is such a thing. The official asked Tong that day. What's pb, is the thing you mentioned related to this one? If it's just that, Shaozai didn't You need to worry. Although the officials are moved, they don’t know whether it’s true or not, and they won’t affect the Northern Expedition just because a mere sect uses weapons.”

"But what if the official he sent was killed?" Wang Fu asked him, tapping the table gently.

"Killing officials?"

Tong Guan almost stood up and glared: "Do you want to rebel?"

Then, he looked at Wang Fu in confusion, "No, where does a sect get such courage? Where did the young master hear about this?"

"Whether it's true or not, I can't prove it across thousands of mountains and rivers. It will probably be a month later when the news comes over there, but in a few days, I will go to sea to form an alliance with the Jin people. If Once the news is true and Fang Lazhen has the intention to rebel, how will we deal with it?"

What Wang Fu said was not unreasonable. There happened to be an alliance to fight against the Liao Kingdom, but internal strife broke out here. At that time, whether to go north or south, this became a multiple-choice question between Tong Guan and Wang Fu. It was still very difficult. Difficult multiple choice questions.

"This matter must be dealt with. If you and I get involved in this matter, no one will be able to survive. I'm afraid the officials will be the first to take action on you and me." After all, Wang Fu has been through the storm. When I say something, I feel less panicked.

"On the southeast side, I'll take care of it first. As for the Northern Expedition, we can't stop it. It's best to get Prime Minister Cai to come in. Even if something happens in the middle, maybe he can make up for it."

At this time, the carriage stopped and arrived at Tong Guan's house. He got off the carriage and turned around and asked, "If something really happens over there in the southeast, can you handle it?"

"I'll try my best."

The curtain was lowered, the gray-haired old man assured, and then the carriage drove away. Tong Guan stood in front of the palace gate with his head held high, frowning as he watched the carriage leave, but he was thinking about things in his heart. When he was going to the west, he had never had so many worries, longings, and expectations. Now, in just one month, they are all intertwined. together.

Especially the father-in-law in his mind, he had a vague feeling about it.

The carriage disappeared around the corner, and Tong Guan let out a long breath, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it."

*******************************************************

"The shade of the willows is straight, and the smoke is green. On the Sui embankment, I have seen several waves of water blowing, and the scenery is floating... Changting Road, year after year... looking for old traces, and drinking wine Taking advantage of the mourning strings, the lights left the banquet."

The strings of the piano ring softly, and the sound is like a clear spring flowing gracefully. The woman playing the piano has a plain voice, and the syllables are graceful and sad, making this song sung by the King of Lanling quite sad.

After singing the last word, she gently covered the strings with her slender hands and said softly: "Sister, why did you suddenly have the spirit to come to Shishi's place to listen to music today?"

The words came out of her small mouth, but her eyes did not look away at all.

Under the peach tree, petals were blooming, and the woman with the purple skirt listened to her soft voice. Qiongbi couldn't help but snorted coldly, and walked over with lotus steps, "I have indeed not seen my sister for many days. It's strange that I miss you, but also strange." I miss my sister’s music, how about playing a song for her again?”

"Master, if I tell you, I'm afraid I will make my sister unhappy." Master Li stood up and asked the maid next to him to install the piano, and then said a blessing to Helian Ru, "Master, I only play one piece every day, and you can play more I am afraid that my heart will be troubled by Qin. After all, the future is long, so how can I be happy for a while? You think so, sister."

Helianru thought about the meaning of her words, and then smiled and said: "Of course that's the reason. My sister Hui Zhilanxin naturally knows how to play the piano. Since I can't play more, then I will leave first. , I can already hear one song today, and my sister is very satisfied."

"Teacher, please send me your best wishes to my sister."

After Master Li sent Helian Ruxin to the corridor, he suddenly warned: "The spring breeze can also be cold, and my sister seems to have caught a cold."

Over there, the Ziqun women smiled and nodded. When they turned around, their expressions suddenly turned ugly. Seeing her leaving, Master Li called to the back of the pavilion: "She has left. Eunuch Li should come out. I'm afraid it won't be good if you keep hiding like this."

Behind the pavilion, a figure flashed out, and he knelt down quickly and said: "Among the harem, Concubine Shu is the most kind-hearted. Xiao Nanzi really has no place to go, so please take her in."

"What did you take from her to make her look like a concubine?" Master Li has always been a humble person and never scolded his servants. Since entering the palace, his impression among the maids and chambermaids has been very good.

"Some shameful accounts..." Li Yan raised his head slightly, took out a wrapped book from his chest, and kneeled down to offer it to him.

Master Li quickly asked the palace maid next to him to put the thing away, and then said: "Then you stay with me for the time being. When my sworn brother comes back, he may want to give you a place to stay based on the friendship between the four of you."

After saying this, she sighed and led the palace people away.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Xiao Nanzi thanks your Majesty for rescuing me." The eunuch named Li Yan cried bitterly and lay on the ground.

After a moment, he stood up and wiped away his tears, looked in the direction where he had been, spat viciously, and chased after Master Li in the direction he left.

…………

"I'm so angry..."

A glass lampshade fell to the ground with a snap, shattering into pieces.

Helian Ruxin tore off the purple veil on her body, lifted it up, and shattered into several pieces in the air. She sat on the bed with her anger still lingering and said in a vicious voice: "How dare a prostitute dare to compete with me? She actually warned me that I would be reckless and the future would be long. She was just relying on His Majesty's favor and the power of her sworn brother. She was really getting better and better. The less you take your position seriously."

Immediately, she suppressed her anger and looked at the tall eunuch who was playing with porcelain in the room, "Jin Zhong, what happened to what you asked to investigate in the morning? Then why hasn't Bai Ning returned to Beijing? What actions has he made in the south?"

Wei Jinzhong put the exquisite porcelain back in its place and said respectfully: "Reporting to your Majesty, the news from the south seems to have been deliberately cut off, and your Majesty's eyes and ears cannot leave the capital."

Helian Ruxin stood up and asked the maid to change her into a tulle. She looked at her soft body in the bronze mirror. While admiring it, she said: "It seems that it was Hai Dafu who was left behind in the Dongchang. He has average martial arts. What did you do that day?" It's easy to kill him with the Angry Heart Technique. Their Dongchang must have the information from more than a month ago. I need these things, so I'll allocate the manpower to you, so perform well."

"Yes, don't worry, Madam."

Wei Jinzhong bowed and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Helian Ruxin looked at him sideways and sneered, "Take that little girl with you, she knows that place well."

"Yes."

Immediately, the figure retreated.

....

On the edge of the rockery, the woman squatted there and watched the swimming fish.

Wei Jinzhong walked over and said, "Your Majesty has given me orders, are you willing to go?"

Suddenly, several steel needles were swung from her hand. Her petite body stood up and walked out. Her voice was simple and cold, "——Go."

Wei Jinzhong looked at her leaving figure and then looked at the water in the pool.

Several fish floated to the surface with their white bellies turned over...
