Chapter 822: The sound of blood rain and the pulsing clouds in the evening are waiting for the picture (Part 2)

Since the early morning of this day, the weather has become uncomfortable, and the lazy cat in the yard next door keeps meowing, like Something is going to happen.

It rained heavily in the afternoon, as if the whole world was locked in a cage. Wu Qiuhe went out, and Xia Fang and Yu were not there either. Chen Wenjun was embroidering in the room, and his two sons came over to say hello. After that, her fingers were pinched twice, and she put them in her mouth and sucked them. There was some blood.

It is inevitable that embroidery will be pricked by needles, but Chen Wenjun has been practicing this skill for decades, and similar things have not happened for a long time.

When dinner was approaching, Qiu He, Fang and the two maids had not returned, so Chen Wenjun knew that something had happened.

When Xiyin entered the house, his needle and thread were threaded through the cloth and he was drawing half a mandarin duck. It was raining heavily outside and thunder was booming. Chen Wenjun went over and took off his husband's cloak. The blood-stained sword was placed on the table aside. superior.

"The weather is strange today." Xiyin also caught a few drops of rain. At this time, he wiped his forehead. Chen Wenjun hung up his cloak and looked at his whole body: "Is the master not wet?"

"It's okay." Xiyin sat down and looked at the rain outside. After a while, he said, "I killed Qiu He." Then he reached out and took the tea cup brought by Chen Wenjun.

Chen Wenjun was startled and looked at the long sword. Xiyin put the tea cup to his mouth, then sighed and put it down again: "You... are not smart." After a pause, Then he said, "I've done it."

"Master..."

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Xiyin's eyes were serious: "Over the years, with your connections in the government, you have sent more than 3,500 Han slaves to the south and west..."

"Master knows..."

Chen Wenjun knelt down while holding the table. Before his knees reached the ground, Xiyin stood up and took advantage of the situation to lift her hand to help her up.

"This is a good thing for thousands of families to have Buddhas. If they can really return to the south, they will set up a memorial tablet for you. You are my wife, you are also a Han Chinese, well-educated and kind-hearted. To do these things, It’s not surprising, and I don’t blame you either. As long as I’m here, no one can punish you.” outside.

This is the corridor on the second floor of the attic. The lanterns under the eaves have been lit up. Following the heavy rain, you can see the stretching and shining courtyard. Xiyin is second only to Zong Han in terms of popularity in Xijing, and what he sees before him is everything that this power brings.

“Since the war with Black Flag, I have adapted Black Flag’s intelligence methods for my own use. I can’t hide anything within the territory of Datong. You spent money to redeem the Han people and save the South. Not only me, I'm afraid even the commander-in-chief can't hide it. There are more than a million Han people kidnapped from the south. You are my wife, do whatever you want. , it’s not like I don’t want to give you money, I can say this to the commander. However, this time... if you get involved with the commander’s assassin, you will be in trouble.”
< br>At the end of his words, he finally uttered stern words, glanced at Chen Wenjun, and sighed: "Madam, you are a smart person. It's just... Qiu He is a prostitute. You rescued her from the children of officials. Do you think she can withstand the torture? She was targeted, so I just killed her, and Fang Yu couldn't stay anymore. I asked the housekeeper to give her some money and send her back to the south... Over the years, you are a Han and I am a Jurchen. The two countries are at war. I know the pain in your heart. , But this is what happens in the world. The Han people are exhausted. If the Jurchens want to rise up, they can only do this. You and I can't stop the tide of the world, but you and I... are together after all. At my age, my hair has grown gray, so I won’t consider breaking up.”

Chen Wenjun burst into tears.

The two of them met in their early years. When they got together, the Kingdom of Jin was not yet in existence. Now, Xi Yin is over fifty and Chen Wenjun is almost fifty. His hair is graying gradually. Even though he has many Things lie between the two of them, but as far as the relationship between husband and wife is concerned, they are indeed supportive and deeply affectionate.

"Did Dezhong and Youyi come over today?" Xiyin asked, looking at the rain curtain.

Wanyan Dezhong and Wanyan Youyi are their two sons.

Chen Wenjun nodded.

"The prosperity and power are all fake, but these children are not fake. Save people, save people, think about morality and etiquette. There is no problem between me and the commander-in-chief Suspicion, but also fear of suspicion, just like when we fought in the world, there were not so many twists and turns. , there were not so many suspicions and temptations. At that time, outsiders were the ones who were right. Nowadays, when we govern the world, we are the ones who are right inside. It is difficult to say that we are not afraid of many things. It is not a good thing for Your Majesty to be in bed this time, so be careful. "

"Master usually...is not afraid of these things."

"The succession of power and the danger of seizing the direct heir has been the most dangerous thing since ancient times. When the late emperor passed the throne to Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin existed. We came out of the mountains and were friends of life and death. There is nothing to say. When the branches and leaves spread, the second After the third generation, there are too many people who can take charge of the family. The sages say that a gentleman will be killed after five generations. It is also difficult to maintain without cutting. Now the relationship between the two parties is no longer the same as before... After His Majesty fell ill, Zongfu Zongbi, on the one hand, reduced his power in the west, and on the other hand... intended to go south, and in the future, he would take advantage of the general situation to force the commander to retreat in spite of difficulties. , The commander-in-chief is an arrogant person, so he ignored this matter. "
Xiyin stretched out his hand and drew forward: "These are all illusions, but if one day, these are gone, you and I, who are virtuous and polite, will not be able to escape. Power is like a tiger, and it rides on the tiger. It’s not easy to carry it down. Madam has read a lot of poems and books, so she should understand these things.”

The heavy rain fell, and after watching for a while on the corridor, Xiyin sighed: "When the Kingdom of Jin was established, the people under its rule were divided into several grades. I originally disagreed, but I am a young Jurchen, so I don't think so. If we divide the country, the world will be in chaos again. This is a temporary solution. I have always been worried that in the future, if the world is really settled, the people will still be divided into five, six, seven and eight classes. I have been studying since I was a child. It is difficult for a country like this to last long. The first generation of subjects are dissatisfied and can only suppress it. For the new people , then it can be enlightened. This is the policy that our Jin Kingdom has to implement. If the world is really settled in the future, I will do my best to make it come true. This is my wife's wish, but my husband can only do this. This is something that I always feel guilty about."

"Don't harm the Kingdom of Jin. Don't worry about this kind of assassin anymore. Even if he is a Han hero, you will marry me after all. I can only accept such grievances and try to deal with it slowly..." Xiyin waved his hand gently, "Just do whatever Xiyin's wife wants to do. I still can't talk about some gossip in Dajin. I can stop it for you.”

“Qiu He has been here for me all these years. Serving tea and pouring water, I feel very sad to kill her today. I will build a tomb for her in a few days, but since she is involved in this matter, I have nothing to do with her." He patted his wife's hand. , "I will deal with government affairs first and come back to bed later. You... better try to rest as early as possible."

He said goodbye to Wenjun and turned around to leave. With tears in Chen Wenjun's eyes, he returned to the room and picked up the bloody sword. This is Xi Yin's usual sword "Yuan Wang". The blade is wide and long, and the whole body is dark gold. It has been with him for many years in the north and south. There are many small scratches and gaps on it. Chen Wenjun took it to the railing. The heavy rain washed away the blood. Soon, the blood stains disappeared invisible in the rain, and the woman stood beside the railing for a long time holding a sword.

Two days later, news of Zongfu and Zongbi’s southern invasion was spread through secret channels.

**********

"Zongfu Zongbi wants to attack Jiangnan, Zonghan will not make any move, you are bluffing me." Tang Min in the dark shack Jie smiled in a low voice, then looked at Lu Mingfang with a slightly more serious look, "What is the exact news from Chen Wenjun? Is this transfer mainly for external fights?"

"The southern invasion is terrible. The possibility is great. The Jurchens were able to suppress their anger over the Tian Hu incident last year, which shows that they want to settle the accounts. The problem lies in the details, where to fight and how to fight." Lu Mingfang said in a low voice. "Chen Wenjun revealed the news to Wu Dynasty's spies. She wanted Wu Dynasty to prepare early. At the same time, I think she meant that this news seemed to be revealed deliberately by Xi Yin."

"'Hey, Zhou Yong, Zongfu Zongbi is going to take your head. We are not friends, but I still remind you first, you must stop them.' That's what it means." Tang Minjie smiled brightly , "It's easy to catch rabbits by hugging grass and hunting rabbits... I think Xiyin's temperament, this may be the limit of what he can do. However, Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Since he can do it, we can also hunt rabbits and go to Zong Bi to reveal some information, saying that Master Gushen is secretly leaking military information? "

Lu? Mingfang shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether it is useful. If the God of Gu is at the forefront, Chen Wenjun will be the first to bear the brunt. She was too obvious. When we went north, the teacher told us to protect Chen Wenjun first. The three armies went ahead without using food and fodder. Although the Jurchens had already planned a southern expedition, Wu Qimai's stroke happened suddenly. After all, he had to travel thousands of miles away. There is still some time to attack Jiangnan, no matter what, the news will be sent back... The matter of Dazouyuan is about to come soon."

"What happened to the eight-armed dragon king?"

"He is recovering. He is really lucky, but he is not a person who listens to advice. This time I took some risks."

"Everyone has his or her own destiny, and with the world in such a predicament, it is inevitable that he would be disheartened. But since the teacher values ​​him and Fang Chengye also mentions him, let's just do something with a little effort." Lu Mingfang said, "With his temperament and martial arts, It's a pity to die by assassination. He should have done more when he returned to the Central Plains."

"Well, I will try... to continue to persuade him." Tang Minjie twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled. laugh.

In Hedeng County, Nanfang, there was a lot of noise in the classroom. Ning Yi stood outside the window, listening to the discussions of dozens of young class members, platoon leaders, and staff officers. This is a small interest class. All low-level officers who like to use their brains can participate. It is led by the "strategists" of the General Staff Headquarters to deduce various strategies and tactics. The experience gained from the deduction can be used to teach the soldiers under their command. , if the strategic deduction is organized and accurate, it will be recorded one by one, and there will be a chance to enter the upper-level staff system of the Chinese army.

Because the Black Flag Army is well-informed, the news that Jin Emperor Wu Qimai suffered a stroke has spread in April. There are speculations and deductions about the situation in the Jin Kingdom after Wu Qimai suffered a stroke, and the opportunities for the Chinese Army and response strategies, etc., etc., have been discussed countless times in the three counties recently.

There is no doubt that since the enemy is unlucky, the next step is his own opportunity. In today's world, the Huaxia Army is the only army that has the honor of resisting the Jurchens. It has been hiding in the mountains for several years. After Ning Yi returned, he encountered such news again. As for the news that the upper echelons of the army speculated that "the Jurchens are very likely to go south", It has spread to everyone's ears. Everyone is gearing up, and the military morale is high.

Of course, it is still just a period of rhetoric, and there will still be a period of time before we are really in close combat with the Jurchens, so that everyone can be excited. If the war is really coming, oppression and tension will still exist after all.

Ning Yi and the few people accompanying him just passed by. After listening for a while, they hurried to the office of the Intelligence Department. Similar deductions have been conducted many times in the General Staff Department and the Intelligence Department recently - and Regarding the Jurchen's response to the Southern Expedition and what to do next, it has been repeatedly speculated and calculated over the years.

The atmosphere in Hedeng County is peaceful and high-spirited. The core part of the General Intelligence Department is already tense. After some meetings and discussions, several teams have openly or covertly As the journey to the north began, the caravans that had already been planned were obviously being launched, but secretly, some of the back-up forces were going to be mobilized under certain special conditions.

Datong, after several gatherings and discussions, strengthened its internal operations in the Jin Kingdom's political arena, but did not see much movement externally. As for the envoys Da Qi sent to the north at the beginning of the year to request the Jin Kingdom to send troops, they returned in vain and went south in despair in the chaotic and delicate atmosphere caused by Wu Qimai's illness.

In order to protect him on his way south, Xiyin specially arranged a team of guards for him when passing through Datong.

This team of guards has a secret and serious mission.

“...when this incident is spread, Black Flag will definitely interfere with it...When we arrive in Bianliang, we first go to see Master Ali Gua who is stationed in Bianliang. His 9,000 elite soldiers are enough to seal the city, and then... escort Your Majesty, Liu Yu, must not make any mistakes as he goes northward..."

The confrontation has actually begun in an invisible place.

At the same end of April, the news that Zongfu Zongbi invaded Jiangnan and destroyed the Wu Dynasty reached Lin'an. Some people started to panic.

More than half a month later, the real chess players' fighting and stabbing methods stirred up layers of undercurrents under the water. Finally, they briefly emerged from the water and turned into entities. After that shocking glimpse, , dissipated...(End of Chapter)
