In a somewhat deserted garden, a short and plump young girl smashed an old book on the table... "What is it? It makes no sense! Where are the clues?"
An old man who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly put away the books and said slightly nervously: "Miss, no! The master of this book is very concerned about it!"
Mrs. Lan stood up and looked at the oldest and most dilapidated garden in Jinling City, and frowned: "Where is the royal majesty? It is so dilapidated, it is not as comfortable as the street corner of Bianliang Daxiangguo Temple...
"
"shut up!"
An old man in white robe walked in, frowned and said to Mrs. Lan: "You are showing off your temper again... If your grandpa hears it, he will punish you and keep you grounded until you leave the cabinet!"
Mrs. Lan quickly and diligently pressed the old man on the chair, and carefully massaged the old man's shoulders... "Second Grandpa... you feel sorry for Lan'er, don't you? Just ask grandpa to let me go back to Bianliang..."
"Nonsense, Zixuanlou will arrange a meeting with that person in Bianliang right away... This is a major event for us, and the risk is too great... We cannot have anything to do with it! So all my family members must leave Bianliang..."
Mrs. Lan curled her lips: "Isn't it just using a green slave to seduce that old pervert..."
"Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, your grandfather will definitely punish you severely!"
"Lan'er realizes her mistake..."
Mrs. Lan blinked her eyes and suddenly asked: "Second Grandpa, that An Daoquan is Song Wen's brother. How about... we use An Daoquan as a bait to deceive Song Wen and catch him, and then use Song Wen in turn to
Threatening his life... An Daoquan will definitely give in!"
The old man in white robe shook his head: "You are still thinking about that boy. Isn't it enough that he can't squeeze him out of Bianliang? Besides, that boy is indeed a business wizard. Now he secretly sells Tiandi Chun Liquor and earns a fortune every day. He takes refuge with his left hand.
Gao Qiu made the gambling club run smoothly, and his right hand did a lot of business with the Khitan people! Did you know that five out of ten good horses sold by Bianliang Wang Zhi for that guy were smuggled in from the Khitan people?
... plus his military stronghold is impregnable, I don’t know how much more valuable he is now than when he was in Bianliang? Would he risk his life for a childhood playmate? "
Mrs. Lan curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "People like them have a dull bone..."
The old man looked at Mrs. Lan dotingly and said, "Among the children of your generation, you are the smartest...really can't you see anything fishy in this medical book?"
"Second Grandpa, Lan'er can't see anything."
The old man sighed and looked at Mrs. Lan carefully, and said softly: "My child, you are not young anymore. My Li family... forget it, next year the Jurchens whom we have tried our best to support secretly will have a delegation to Beijing.
At that time, the husband chosen by your grandfather will also come with you, and then the second grandfather will accompany you to Beijing..."
Lady Lan turned pale... and whispered: "I won't marry any Jurchen Tatar..."
The old man shook his head: "Second Grandpa doesn't want to either... But this is something your grandpa has decided, and it is difficult to change it."
~~~~~~
At nightfall, the old man in white robe strolled back to his study and sat down to rest. A confidant butler quietly brought a bowl of ginseng soup... The old man took a sip of the ginseng soup and said to the old man in white robe who walked in and sat opposite him.
: "Second brother, did Lan'er find any clues?"
"No, it seems to be an ordinary medical book... Brother, have we been misled?"
The old man in blue robe shook his head, gently took out something from his sleeve and slowly pushed it in front of his brother... "Take a good look at it for yourself!"
"gold?"
The old man in white robe picked up this simple gold collar and looked at it carefully. The gold collar weighed about 30 taels and was of very good quality. Looking carefully, there was a line of small words engraved on the back...Jiashen year, Jindongtian.
"Jindongtian...Jindongtian...eldest brother?"
The old man in blue robe showed a hint of fanaticism... "Back then, the traitorous villain deceived the Holy Spirit, and the imperial army of the Northern Song Dynasty went eighty miles outside Jinling City, but my lord knew nothing about it. We, the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River... have never lacked the gold to recruit warriors.
Silver, jade, and silk? This gold collar is proof! The treasures of the Southern Dynasties are indeed real... From this point of view, the treasures should have been taken and used, but not all of them have appeared! Li Wei... took out the treasures and funded half of the treasures.
The real people are fighting for hegemony with the Liao Kingdom, and half of us recruit troops and build warships on our own... When the Jurchens start a war with the Song Dynasty, we will start an uprising in the south of the Yangtze River at the same time! Attacking from both sides... How can the Song Dynasty not be destroyed? We will sit in the south of the Yangtze River and recover.
In our homeland, we will rule across the river with the Jurchens!"
Li Wei, an old man in white robes, frowned and said: "Brother, the Jurchen Tatars are barbaric by nature. Are we seeking the skin of a tiger?"
The old man in blue robe chuckled and said: "The Liao cavalry swept across the northern land, and the Song Dynasty was beaten to the point of running wild... But how did the Liao Dynasty destroy the Song Dynasty? I, Li Huo, am not a fool... No matter how brutal and violent the Jurchens are,
The clan members are only a few hundred thousand at all costs... plus those mature women from Liaodong are really only a million! Why annex Kyushu? Half of the Central Plains is enough to kill their fighting spirit! Now Fang La is revolting and shaking Jiangnan! The Song Dynasty
Their military equipment is simply a joke... Even a idiot like Xu Hu can lead an army to occupy a territory like Jinling. The only thing we are afraid of is the Western Army of the Song Dynasty!"
Li Huo picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all. He looked at his younger brother with burning eyes and said, "Now that Fan La is in trouble, the Western Army has sharpened its sword... What can Fang La do to resist? Once the Western Army massacres, how many people in Jiangnan will there be?"
Hated the Song Dynasty? And how narrow-minded was Emperor Zhao and Song? How could he use the Western Army to guard the south of the Yangtze River? The Western Army... was destined to be transferred back to the north to defend against the Liao and Jurchens, and was eventually destroyed by the Jurchens.
…At that time, it will be a great opportunity for us to truly restore our country!”
Li Wei looked at his eldest brother Li Huo with a complicated expression, and said in a trembling voice: "In this case, the people of Jiangnan will surely fall into two sword disasters... Brother, you are already nearly seventy years old!"
Li Huo glared at his brother, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have a son, but I still have grandchildren! Even if I don't have a grandson, you still have children and grandchildren... As long as my Li family can be restored, we two old bones can survive for a few more years.
So what?"
Li Wei sighed, stood up and said, "But An Daoquan really doesn't know about the treasure... so what should we do?"
Li Huo sneered... "The peeling and cramping have to make him recall it. Now there is only this clue, and Fang La is also interested in it... so we must take action immediately!"
"Yes, I will go and have people continue to torture..."
Under a big tree in the west of the garden, Mingyue was crouching beside a big stone in boredom. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew... Gongsun Sheng fell to the ground with a blank look on his face, and then sat down cross-legged to regain his strength.
Mingyue asked curiously: "How is that boy An Daoquan?"
Gongsun Sheng smiled bitterly: "Unexpectedly, those people are actually the survivors of the old Southern Tang Dynasty...the Li family! But they are not the blood of Empress Li. Empress Li's brother was later moved to the Central Plains by Emperor Taizong and disappeared.
The bloodline of the empress has been severed long ago... This, this is simply unbelievable! At first, the empress Xiao Zhou was humiliated... The empress was so disheartened that she died inexplicably on Chinese Valentine's Day... Soon after, empress Xiao Zhou also passed away. This
Where does the bloodline come from?”
Gongsun Sheng was puzzled... Suddenly, Gongsun Sheng slapped his forehead, that girl... that girl who was not tall but had a pair of strange and beautiful light green pupils! She seemed to have a trace of the blood of the Western Regions Hu people...
…
Wen Wenqiang remembered that the extremely intelligent Gongsun Sheng immediately murmured to himself... Empress Li's confidante, who was imprisoned in Bianliang with him, seemed to be an Orchid dancer!
Li Yu's favorite... Yao Niang!
"I know... Yao Niang was of Hu Ji's blood. As the name suggests, Yao means that her eye sockets are sunken and unusually deep. It's her. She must have left a trace of Li Yu's blood... No wonder, no wonder this mysterious thing
The Li family’s origins in Jiangnan are mysterious, but they are vaguely supported by many survivors of the Southern Tang Dynasty! So that’s it… That’s it!”
