Volume 3: The world is in turmoil and the undercurrent continues Chapter 471 Thousand Machine Crossbow (1)
August 15th, the eighth year of Shenwu, is no different from last year. However, after the refugees rushed into the city, slightly larger stores will find one or two young and strong men to be responsible for security in the store, which can be regarded as an emergency.
The preparations are just for the Turkic royal court
The Great Yuan Dynasty is about to start, and the voices circulating in the public are also somewhat radical, but most of them have become the subject of after-dinner talk. Whether it is a brothel or a restaurant, there are people talking loudly from time to time, and even splashing ink, making Yishu feel indignant.
.
However, the life of ordinary people in the city has not changed much. Most of them are busy with their livelihood this year. Although it is hard work, they have lived a fulfilling life. Wang Ruoyan sorted out the Yang family's compensation items overnight, and Yue Ya and Xing'er accepted the task early.
, went to the only six shops left and began to convey Wang Ruoyan's arrangements. The busy figures of these six shopkeepers were not conspicuous in the surging crowd.
Jiang Ning still got up early for a run. When he got up, the light in Wang Ruoyan's room was still slightly bright, and he knew that Wang Ruoyan had been busy for another night, but being busy at this time is good after all. Yue Ya and Xing'er are not here either. These days
, it should be very busy.
It's not that Jiang Ning doesn't want to help, but at least not now.
On this day last year, he shook the foundation of the literary world in Hangzhou and even southern Zhejiang with his song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", and then became what others call the number one talent in Hangzhou. Although he doesn't care about these titles, he has to
For sure, these names are really useful.
In the past two days, I went to the academy to meet Qi Yunmeng. Since the last incident, Wang Ruoyan has been busy with Wang Ruoyan's business, so he doesn't go to the academy much.
Today is August 15th. I don’t know if there are any activities in the academy. Jiang Ning went to the academy and walked straight towards Qi Yunmeng’s small building. Qi Yunmeng usually doesn’t have classes, he only attends classes in the small building or in the small building.
In the academy, at this time, he should still be in the small building.
"Brother Zichuan?"
Jiang Ning looked back and saw that it was Zhao Lixuan who he had not seen for many days. After talking with Zhao Lixuan that day, Jiang Ning also changed his attitude towards Zhao Lixuan a lot. When he saw him coming, he also smiled and saluted: "So it's
Brother Zhao."
Zhao Lixuan had a scroll in his hand, but when he saw Jiang Ning, he pulled him to a small pavilion by the lake, and then he said, "Brother Zichuan, have you heard about it?"
Jiang Ning was stunned: "I heard? What?" Jiang Ning was asked about Yunshan Wuzhao. He didn't know what he was talking about. Could it be that something big happened?
Zhao Lixuan said: "Brother Zichuan is not an outsider, so I will get straight to the point."
"There are rumors among the government and the public that there has been a conflict between the Turkic royal court and the Yuan Dynasty. Li Jincheng, the Turkic left royal court, has a dispute with Yeluqi of the Yuan Dynasty. Now there is friction on both sides, and two conflicts have broken out on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains.
It is said that a lot of troops were invested in the battle, does Brother Zichuan know about this?"
Jiang Ning's heart moved slightly. What should come will come sooner or later. There are only two possibilities for friction and conflict, one is testing, and the other is eating. For now, testing is the most likely possibility.
"I don't know. Why, is there any other explanation for this?" Jiang Ning asked.
Zhao Lixuan nodded and said matter-of-factly: "Of course, there are rumors within the court that Prince Xia Kangxia's ministry ten years ago and the Blackwater Alliance ten years ago were the trigger for their fight. Prince Xia
I have been living in seclusion in Hangzhou for ten years, with few people around me, but I never imagined that I would be so far-sighted and astonishing..."
"Xia Kang? Prince Xia? Is this the one from Hangzhou?" Jiang Ning looked at Zhao Lixuan doubtfully, still a little suspicious.
"It is this Prince Xia who is now divided into two factions in the court. The Prime Minister Zuo and the Taiwei are in charge of peace, and General Tiance and the Taiwei are in charge of fighting. This back and forth has become a stalemate.
There are even rumors that our Da Xia Dynasty will definitely fight with him in at least two years and at most three years." Zhao Lixuan said very calmly, but from his eyes, you can see that his heart is full of excitement.
Zhao Lixuan continued: "After hearing these news in the past two days, I feel passionate in my heart, but I can't do anything about it. When I see Brother Zichuan today, I want to hear my opinion and express my happiness."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "What you said are all hearsay. We don't know what is going on above the court and what is going on on the front line. Everything is spread by rumors. Three people can become a tiger.
You also know the truth. How many percent of the information is credible when it is transmitted to you and me?"
When Zhao Lixuan heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he nodded meaningfully.
"Furthermore, even if this war is going to be fought, and it has been planned for ten years, the court will let little people like you and me know so clearly? If we can know their news, they will definitely know our news. The whole people are preparing for the war, and the people are excited.
This is the biggest weapon. If they know it, they will
Will they not hesitate? What kind of countermeasures will they take? Will they delay or attack in advance? We don’t know these questions, but one thing is that if there is really going to be a war, such news cannot be revealed. This is a kind of strategy. If you don’t know,
The true face of Mount Lu is only due to being in this mountain."
Jiang Ning did not shy away and spoke out his thoughts. Zhao Lixuan was shocked, but he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Hey, the scholar business is angry, the scholar business is angry... It seems that Zichuan and I are
Brother, it’s still far behind..."
After saying that, he bowed his hands towards Jiang Ning: "I have to digest what Brother Zichuan just said, so I'll take my leave first..."
Jiang Ning nodded, looked at Zhao Lixuan's back, and sighed. This was a decision-making error caused by poor information.
"What did you just say? How could you let Zhao Lixuan salute you?" Qi Yunmeng's voice came from a distance. The pavilion was just outside the wall of the small building. Qi Yunmeng was quite surprised when he saw this scene upstairs.
Curious, I walked downstairs.
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that we have different views on some things. There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people. It's normal."
"Hamlet? What is that?" Qi Yunmeng couldn't help but ask after hearing this strange word.
Jiang Ning chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just a name. Why did you get down here?"
"Me?" Qi Yunmeng was startled, then smiled and said: "I came down just to see how you are doing lately, whether you have lost weight, how you are doing, and whether you have died inexplicably or been assassinated."
"Losing weight? Assassination?" Monk Zhang Er of Jiangning was confused, wondering what Qi Yunmeng was talking about.
Qi Yunmeng chuckled: "Forget it, I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing here?"
"Oh..." Jiang Ning said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll see if there are any activities in the academy. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home."
"Are you taking a break and not going home to spend time with your wife?" He said, glancing at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning said, "Their family meeting will definitely last very late tonight, so I'd better not be at home."
"Then we should go to the brothel. In addition to flower boats, there will definitely be a lot of parties tonight. You are so famous, why didn't you receive an invitation?" Qi Yunmeng asked puzzledly.
Jiang Ning smiled and said: "Of course there are invitations, but I don't want to go. How can those rouge and vulgar fans catch my eye? Although it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, in my hometown, a man can only marry one wife.
