Ren Xiaoqiao's voice was choked with sobs. There was no grievance, just the simplest unhappiness!
"Third Sister and Song Yang."
Xiaowan was taken aback. Of course she knew the two people her good friend mentioned. Her eyes rolled around and she was thinking... Xiao Fu's third sister was her Murong Xiaowan's third sister. How to deal with this? As for Song Yang, it was said that he
If he knows magic and possesses gods, he can retreat from the beans and form soldiers, so he will definitely not be able to defeat him.
Even so, Murong Xiaowan still attached great importance to her loyalty and asked in a deep voice: "Third Sister or Song Yang, which one do you want me to fight?"
"No one is allowed to hit. Either I'm looking for you to help me fight or I'm just worried. I'll have a chat with you. Don't talk about hitting anyone anymore. You don't need to say anything more. Just listen to what I say."
Murong Xiaowan nodded, stood up, brought a pot of soy milk, and poured a full bowl: "Drink slowly, and speak slowly." She doesn't drink tea or alcohol, and she likes soy milk the most. When enemies come, they have fists.
A friend came over to drink soy milk.
The soy milk is slightly sweet and tastes good. Xiao Qiao took a deep breath and let the sweetness of the soy milk suppress his tears: "The day I died, the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was that the third sister was holding my father's knife with her hand.
.I have never seen her look like this, that look, those eyes. I immediately understood that the third sister likes Song Yang."
Murong Xiaowan blinked, but her eyes were too small, and it was hard to see that she was blinking if you didn't pay attention carefully. She was a little confused and didn't understand how Xiaoqiao could tell that someone liked another person at a glance.
It really didn't make sense, but Xiao Zai could see it. She couldn't explain it, and she didn't try to explain it. She continued: "Long live the marriage to the third sister and Song Yang. Today the third sister came to discuss with us, and she said something
She harmed her reputation and rejected the idea of a marriage. Finally, I gave up the idea that she would marry Song Yang after me."
Murong Xiaowan curled her lips and said angrily: "Are you stupid?!"
Xiao Zhan shook his head again, ignored his good friend's complaints, and turned the topic to Song Yang: "Who would have thought that in the end, the Uighur marriage actually brought the two of us together, but by that time I was already dead, and who else except him
All gone."
"It is true that something went wrong and it is irreversible. In fact, even if it is not undone, it will not be less than originally expected. I will come back alive and I will be with him. As for the rest, I have already accepted it...
But he didn’t admit it.”
"He was crying and making a fuss in the mourning hall. I don't know where he came from all those strange words. His crying was better than his singing. I thought it was funny at first. Soon the mourning hall became chaotic, and I suddenly thought,
This is no joke. He doesn’t know my father’s nature and abilities. The things he did will really kill him. Sure enough, I heard my father’s roar and the sound of the blade cutting through the air. I wanted to cry.
I screamed and wanted to call Song Yang to run for his life, but I, I couldn't move.,.
Tears flowed down again, sliding down her cheeks. They dripped on the table and made a soft sound: "From beginning to end, there is a voice that I can really hear...
Song Yang's hypocritical cry sounded like he was sobbing, but in fact he was full of energy and couldn't be more steady. He cried steadily until the sound of the blade cutting into his back came.
"If he wanted to hide, it would be difficult for my father's knife to hurt him. He refused to hide for the last shot. He knew that when a knife hit him from behind and he might die, his cry did not change at all.
Not a trace of trembling, not a trace of fear."
"Song Yang is a very smart person, but he has a crazy energy when doing things. He didn't calculate the knife he received before, and he may regret it when he thinks about it later. But when the knife hit him, he became crazy.
..., he risked his life just for..., it's not worth it..."
Tears burst through the dam, and Xiao Zai's body was shaking uncontrollably. At this point, she couldn't control it anymore and cried loudly, but she hadn't finished what she wanted to say: "No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, anyway, that person is blinking.
In the moment when his eyes were still short, he really fought hard for a thing that was not worth fighting for, just to take me home."
Murong Xiaowan also burst into tears. She didn't take any man under her eye seriously, and naturally she didn't have a sweetheart. She seemed to understand what the little catcher said, but her good friend cried so hard that Xiaowan felt the same way.
Her cry was much louder than that of Xiao Daoke.
The good sisters hugged each other and cried. After a while, Xiaoqiao stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and handed her handkerchief to Xiaowan. She knew that Xiaowan never brought a handkerchief.
The mood has softened a bit, and the little catcher's voice has also become much calmer: "In order to save a "unexpected", or in other words, in order to fight for a better environment for me, he dares to go crazy and die. Marrying such a person
Guy, what else can I say? I will follow him no matter what he does, but I can't help him with what he wants to do."
Murong Xiaowan couldn't bear to hear such depressing words. She frowned and slapped her chest hard: "There's still me. If you need help, just call me."
The young catcher shook his head: "You can't do it either. For what he does, fighting is just the most insignificant detail. The key is planning... He always competes with the enemy for their scheming and planning."
Xiaowan was even more unconvinced, and she was unconvinced on behalf of her good friend: "It's your ability to be smart, so why can't you help?" Xiaoqiao is careless, and Xiaowan is simply lackluster. When the two of them are together,
Ever since she was little, she has been the one making the most decisions. In the eyes of the mafia eldest lady, Her Royal Highness is the most intelligent character in the world.
The little catcher laughed: "Compared with those smart people like them, I'm just a little donkey."
Xiaowan was stunned: "Then what am I?"
With such a friend, it was hard not to laugh. Xiaoqian smiled even more: "You are Xiaolu's friend!" After saying that, he returned to the topic: "But the third sister is different, she can help Song Yang.
You don’t know, my third sister is truly a treasure. As long as she is here, you don’t have to worry about anything. Song Yang and she are both truly smart people, one is bold, the other is careful, the two of them together
, no one can win.”
Xiao Wanruo realized something: So you matched the two of them?"
This morning Ren Xiaoyu performed the biggest drama in his life at the inn.
"It's not all because of Song Yang, but also because of the third sister. As I said just now, she likes Song Yang, but she still wholeheartedly helps us plan to escape the marriage." After saying that, the little catcher sighed: "She is the one who arranges these things.
I definitely feel bad in my heart. I didn’t know before that she has been aggrieved. If it were me, I might not be able to do it. It would be a lot of suffering."
At this point, the young man suddenly said "Eh." He seemed to have thought of something, put his hands on his chin, and frowned. His eyes became brighter the more he thought about it. After a while, he laughed loudly: "What an unlucky boy!"
Xiaowan didn't understand it at first, but now she was even more confused: "What do you mean?"
The little catcher was confused, but as he talked about it, he unintentionally "discovered the key to the whole thing: Did Xinliang fake his death too quickly?"
As soon as the news came out from the palace, the little catcher in Hongbo's mansion died suddenly after taking medicine, and the marriage was not a robbery. The Uighur mission was still in the desert and had not set off. Even if the catcher really wanted to marry a Uighur far away, he would have to do it as soon as possible.
If we set off again in half a year, there is no need to die so soon.
The reason is, as Xiao Zhan said just now: suffering. You can imagine Chenglin’s feeling of helping the man he likes and his baby sister sleep and fly together. No matter how meticulous the princess’s mind is, after all, she is still a human being and a young girl.
As a woman, after she realized that she also liked Song Yang, the process of helping her sister escape from the marriage really turned into a "torture"
Since it is torture, the sooner it ends, the better. Chenglin herself did not realize that she was indeed too "vigorous and resolute" in handling this matter.
If the Uighurs did not agree to the marriage, they would definitely try their best to help Song Yangming marry the princess as she said before. But if the Uighurs agreed to the marriage, she would not wait any longer. The sooner the dust settled, the sooner she would be free.
.
As for Xiaoqiao, she always listens to the third sister’s ideas. She takes medicine when Chenglin says she should take medicine without even thinking about it...
Things went so wrong that Chenglin never thought that the marriage news from the palace was correct but not complete. In the end, it turned into a loud cry. Song Yang's blood was splashed on the spot. It was really no wonder that Chenglin was inseparable from her.
After the incident, Cheng's neighbor never dared to visit Song Yang, and it may not just be the reason for the marriage.
Xiao Zai didn’t blame her sister, she just felt that it was ridiculous, but while she felt sorry for Song Yang, she also felt sorry for the third sister. She didn’t tell Xiao Wan the “key point” she had just figured out, and continued the previous topic: “The third sister is for
I would rather turn myself into the laughing stock of the whole city if I turn down the marriage offer. I can't bear it... These two people, Song Yang doesn't even think about whether it's worth it to fight for me. The third sister endures the irritability in her heart and helps me arrange everything. Besides, she obviously likes it.
Song Yang still has one, and the weight of marriage is not necessarily inferior to that of marriage, how can you refuse someone who will be beheaded!"
In the last sentence, Xiao Zhan spoke in a very serious tone.
Even though she thought she had it all figured out, she still needed this excuse.
"Given marriage. Don't push it away. This statement will make you feel much better."
Murong Xiaowan looked sad when she heard this, and sighed and asked a question: "Then you must be feeling awkward, right?"
The young catcher also sighed: "That's why I came to see you. I can only say these things to you... After I say it, I won't stop. I will try not to be awkward anymore!" As he spoke, he inhaled and exhaled hard.
, as if to throw away the irritability in my heart far away...
When Xiaobao left, he didn't ask Xiaowan to keep it secret.
The secrets he exchanged were his own secrets. Ren Xiaoqian's worries were Murong Xiaowan's protective measures and he would definitely not tell anyone else.
The first day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Crying spirit, in the past twenty arrows, Song Yang has been able to stimulate the flow of inner energy and perform exercises to heal injuries. However, he still cannot sit up, let alone "with his knees in the big cross and his five hearts pointing to the sky." He can only lie down and perform exercises.
.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and when someone came in, there was a fragrance that Song Yang could smell, and it was Ren Churong.
It's not that the movement cannot be interrupted, but if the cycle is not perfected, all previous efforts will be wasted, so Song Yang did not move, as if he was asleep.
Ren Churong slowed down his steps, breathed softly, and even his heartbeat became a little lighter. He quietly approached Jin, found an angle where he could see Song Yang's face, and stopped. Chun looked at him quietly with a smile on his face.
,…most of an hour.
On the eve of the end of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Song Yang's expression will change involuntarily. The joy of stretching his meridians and meridians will be reflected in his facial expressions. Ren Churong has no idea that Song Yang can detect foreign objects. He only knows that he is about to wake up from a deep sleep.
Flustered for no reason, she fled the room with a trace of panic and a bit of embarrassment.
After a while of burning the incense, Chenglin came back again, pretending to have just arrived, and smiled: "Are you feeling better?"
Song Yang would not expose her, so he said hello first, and then said: "It's rare that you come to see me. I have to drink water myself, so I can't greet you."
"I'm not thirsty, don't worry..." After saying that, the princess hesitated and asked: "Are you thirsty?
Can I make you a cup of tea?" It was a simple and normal concern, but her tone was dry because she had a "guilty conscience".
Song Yang laughed and was indeed a little thirsty, but he had to endure it and shook his head.
Ren Churong breathed out softly. He couldn't tell whether it was relief or disappointment. He moved a chair and sat in front of Song Yang: "I have something to do with you this time, but before that, I want to hear the truth from you: who is your enemy?"
Who is it?"
"Master Yan, Yan Jingtai." Song Yang didn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it. Cheng Neighbor had already expected the answer.
Ren Churong nodded, without hesitation, dissuasion, or comment. It was enough that she understood the weight of his hatred, and then turned to the topic: "The first thing, your reward will be announced soon.
It has been agreed that the decree was issued during Laba, and there is nothing to say about other gold and silver rewards, but the location of your fiefdom has not yet been decided. Mr. Hu has done his best to pay attention to this matter, and selected a few wealthy lands for you.
There is no better place to choose than one.”
Song Yang did not rush to answer the princess's words, but asked: "I can choose whichever fiefdom I want to choose?"
"As long as it's not Phoenix City, it won't be too difficult elsewhere." With the power of the Hongbo Mansion, it is not difficult to choose a fiefdom for his son-in-law. What's more, Mr. Hu, who always secretly competes with the King of Zhenxi, has no control over the Song Dynasty.
Things will not be difficult for Yang.
Song Yangting was happy: "Let me listen first. Which place did you choose for me? What are the benefits of that place?"
Ren Churong responded: "A remote area in a poor country, a small town called Yanziping."
Song Yang burst out laughing: "It just suits me, but you've made me lose my temper." This is the only place in this life that Song Yang can remember as his hometown. With Song Yang's character, he wants the title most.
The city is none other than Yanziping.
Ren Churong shook his head: "My choice of Yanziping has nothing to do with it being your hometown and the place where your relatives' coffins are laid. Although the town is poor, the benefits are obvious."
"The first one is that Yanziping is close to the Western Front and is considered to be under the jurisdiction of my father. If something really happens... you want to take revenge, and your enemies also want to kill you, you have to seal the city in your own place. In addition, your own people's
Who do you want to meet and what forces do you want to contact in your territory? There is no problem in keeping it confidential: Secondly, you have a good relationship with Shanxi. If something big happens and even the Red Bo Mansion can’t protect you, you can still escape.
They find shelter in the mountains, and the town is adjacent to the mountains, so it is convenient for the barbarians to send troops out of the mountains to rescue emergencies."
The first two reasons are all based on safety considerations. No matter how big a nobleman you are, you have to put your life first. What Chenglin is most worried about is not that the Yan Kingdom's cavalry will go south and go to Yanziping to capture Song Yang.
, she was afraid that one day Fenglong would be unable to withstand the pressure from Dayan, so an imperial edict was passed down, and someone was sent to kidnap Song Yang and give it to Dayan. But Song Yang was in the territory of King Zhenxi, so it would be easy to escape.
.
"The third reason is the most important." Ren Churong continued: "I wonder if you have heard of it.
There is an iron mine hidden in the mountainous area less than a hundred miles south of Yanziping. Unfortunately, mining of iron ore has to go through the territory of Shanxi Man. Otherwise, why would the ancestors of Nanli have gone to war with Shanxi Man. However,
Later, we found several large mines in other places and gave up there."
Song Yang didn't know about this and had no intention of asking. He just asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the iron ore? Do you want to make money by mining?"
Ren Churong widened his eyes: "Of course you have to make money. The mine must be opened, but it is too slow to make money just by opening the mine. This is the next thing. Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about the feudal city first. If you agree, it will be in Yanzi.
Flat?"
Song Yang smiled and said: "I agree, you know that I will also choose Yanziping, so you don't need to discuss it with me. Just decide directly. I can only thank you." Ren Churong also smiled: "We just met you last time.
I once said that if you have any crazy ideas, you must discuss them with me. Later, I figured out that you may not be born with the knowledge of "discussing."
What is it, let me take this opportunity to teach you." Song Yang laughed loudly: "I have learned it seriously this time, let's continue talking about iron ore."
"Nanli's national power is weak, and so is its military strength. You may not know that we have almost no heavy cavalry. The reason is that in all dynasties of Nanli, the military strategy has been based on the word "defend," and the same is true for weaponry.
So. In the past few decades, the imperial court and the barbarians have stopped fighting. Although foreign troops have continued to fight, the civil strife has finally stopped. They have been recuperating and accumulating some wealth. Almost two years ago, my father invited Fenglong to build a team of heavy armored cavalry and
A team of Zhang Ba Chang Ge fighting formation, these are all attacking soldiers, there was no such thing before." Ren Churong was not in a hurry to talk about the iron mines, but started another topic: "Long Live is a hot-tempered emperor, and a Uighur was born in our Nanli.
Wang Jia made him more confident. There had been constant discussions in the past few days, and he finally agreed to his father's proposal.
Ren Churong's eyes gradually brightened, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons when he smiled: "To build a new army, you have to make new weapons. This piece of fat is fragrant and sweet, so you can't help but take a bite..."
Song Yang's eyes widened when he heard this. In ancient times, the making of weapons could also be subcontracted or outsourced?
Ren Churong could understand his expression: "You don't understand even if I say it in detail, but you don't have to worry about it." Her Royal Highness the Princess took out a bag of candy from her pocket, popped a piece out and put it in her mouth, smacking it happily: "This is
I can't do anything about it, so I can only ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to step in, Xiao Fu and the rest of the family, and finally convince the father to come forward. It's hard to say how much of a bite I can take, but I can definitely get a share of the pie."
Song Yang probably understood that in the future, an "arsenal factory" would probably be built in Changchun Hou's fiefdom. No wonder his neighbor wanted to emphasize that there was an iron mine outside Yanziping.
"By the way, there is another thing I want to mention by the way. Blacksmith Xiao Yi Jingtian asked for leave from the court, saying that there was an emergency at home. He had left Phoenix City early this morning, and he would not come back to receive the reward later. From then on, this person
If you disappear, he will be waiting for you in Yanziping."
Building weapons is no small matter. To make money is to make money, and the quality must be excellent. If something goes wrong, it will be a serious sin. If Chang Chunhou wants to do this, he must have a real expert around him. Ren Churong has already helped him implement this.
Regarding "making money," Song Yang only needs to do one thing: after he recovers from his injury, he will negotiate with Shanximan through Mu'en to make way for the transportation of ore. As for the rest, from winning the order from the Ministry of War to opening the mine,
Recruiting craftsmen, starting construction, etc. are all undertaken by Cheng Neighbor.
Just as Xiao Zai said, Ren Churong was a treasure to the King of Zhenxi and the Hongbo Mansion. With her at home, he didn’t have to worry about anything. Later, the emperor gave this treasure to the Marquis of Changchun.@.
