"What about the middle road?"

"No chase."

The people also didn't know how the fourth Prince judged, but seeing that he was in a rage, even Wu Qimai didn't dare to ask more, and immediately chased him in two ways

Jin Wushu took the lead, took the left road, and a stream of blood rushed directly to the forehead. King Qin can be said to kill two birds with one stone, which is extremely poisonous It can not only obtain a large amount of silver, but also provoke disputes between song and Jin Dynasties He is not Hua Rong. He is not afraid of blood flowing into a river, nor does he care about the deaths and injuries of both sides. As long as he can draw chestnuts from the fire, he will be happy, regardless of whether it is the death of Song Dynasty or Jin Dynasty Since the song and Jin peace talks, the ideal attitude of the state of Jin has been to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, asking the Song Dynasty to fight within the country, rather than losing by itself Now, once the tribute silver is lost, it will inevitably involve the struggle between the two countries, which is also a situation that Jin Wushu does not want to see

He chased anxiously, but lost the traces of mules and horses 20 miles further, because at this time, the sky suddenly began to rain, getting bigger and bigger, and everyone was so drenched that they couldn't open their eyes The heavy rain in summer came and went quickly. After the rain, everyone found that the road ahead was muddy. In addition to their own footprints, King Qin and his party had disappeared out of thin air

Jin Wushu was hit by this, and even heaven was against him

"How can we catch up with the fourth prince?"

"Go on, King Qin, the crown prince doesn't believe you can still cut your wings and escape."

dusk.

The fourth Prince's residence was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere Even the beautiful sunset has lost its charm and looks like a drop of blood

Hua Rong dismounted, and the two bodyguards immediately impatiently raised their swords and came up: "hurry up, no admittance."

"I'm looking for the fourth prince."

"Who are you? Why are you looking for the fourth prince?"

The guards looked at the dough, and Hua Rong said faintly, "you said Hua Rong was looking for him."

"The fourth Prince is not at home."

Hua Rong glanced around and wondered whether what the bodyguard said was true or false When he was making a fuss, the housekeeper came to hear the news. He was still the old housekeeper of that year. Seeing that it was Hua Rong, he was overjoyed: "hurry, please come in." Then he glanced at the two bodyguards, "what doesn't have eyes, even the wife doesn't know to welcome..."

Madam, which madam?

The bodyguard looked at each other, and the housekeeper didn't know what to call, so he only vaguely called "madam", whether Mrs. Yue or Mrs. Jin, understood by himself Although he didn't go to the grassland for vacation, the family members heard that the fourth prince had given Princess Hua Rong a gold book and jade belt, and Hua Rong ran away with the little prince He couldn't figure out such a relationship and didn't know whether it was the princess. Anyway, Hua Rong came to the door by himself. Wouldn't the fourth Prince be very happy if he knew?

"Madam, please come in, please come in..."

"Is the fourth prince in?"

The housekeeper said, "the fourth Prince hasn't come back yet."

Jin Wushu sent troops? Where has he been involved in any battle recently?

"Oh? Since he's not at home, I won't go in."

"How can this work? It's not easy to come here..."

Hua Rong turned and left. The housekeeper hurriedly wanted to keep her and hurried to chase her out, but he heard a rush of hoofs. It was the fourth prince who led a team of bodyguards back

"The fourth Prince is back..." the housekeeper was overjoyed and greeted him. Hua Rong also stopped and looked at the dusty return of Jin Wushu in surprise

Jin Wushu reined in his horse. At first glance, he was very surprised to see Hua Rong, and his eyes showed a trace of joy: "Why are you here?"

Hua Rong didn't answer. When he finished saying this, he suddenly put his hand on his chest, frowned, and vomited blood Everyone was shocked, and Hua Rong was also startled. After a close look, he turned pale. His face was very ugly, and he didn't look like being injured. This mouthful of blood was obviously internal and external deposition, and the disease had already entered the bone

The crowd immediately surrounded, "fourth prince, what's the matter with you?"

"Tell the witch doctor..."

"Go in..."

Jin Wushu waved to stop the crowd, only staring at Hua Rong. This was Hua Rong's first initiative to come to the door, and her eyes also showed a trace of concern This trace of worry was like a panacea. He perked up a little and was very happy. He jumped down from his horse and strode towards her

"Fourth prince, are you?"

"I'm fine. Let's go. If you have anything to say, go in."

A group of servants immediately followed in, and the old housekeeper was even more attentive. Soon, the hall was filled with all kinds of refreshments This is Hua Rong's second step into this place. It is neither fully sinicized when he first came to Yanjing palace, nor semi Liaohua and semi sinicized when Yelv Guanyin was in power. Now, it is a completely full of golden Wu characteristics - in order to avoid the summer, the marble floor is completely adopted, which is very smooth, and can almost see the human figure The layout of the room maintained its former style, and it was still a variety of decorations from the court of the Song Dynasty

Hua Rong glanced casually. Jin Wushu sat down opposite her and said happily, "Hua Rong, you have something to eat first..."

"Thank you, fourth prince. I'm not hungry."

The old housekeeper Hou was on one side and asked cautiously, "fourth prince, do you want to invite a witch doctor?"

Jin Wushu was impatient and waved his hand, "you all go down. I will call you when necessary."

Everyone retreated, and the room immediately became quiet

There were only two people left, and the atmosphere was strange. Jin Wushu took a long breath, leaned against the wide chair, looked very tired, and only stared at the woman opposite. She was dressed as usual, but her look was much better, which was by no means the depression and haggard after the war that day Hua Rong came to the door, of course, for no reason, but at the moment, he didn't want to speculate about any of her purposes. He just wanted to come and appear

It seems that there is a great progress between the two, even if they don't speak, they just sit together like this

Hua Rong avoided his hot and happy eyes, but saw that his face was gray and his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled She couldn't help asking, "are you sick? Why don't you see a doctor?"

"It's all right. It's just a little bit of a problem." he downplayed it. It's obviously not the first time. "Besides, the witch doctor can't see anything obvious."

"Fourth prince, you don't have to hide from doctors. I heard that in the past two years, there is a doctor in the kingdom of Jin who is very good at Chinese Medicine..."

"Hua Rong, you see you are like this. Is everything good for you Han people?"

"I dare not say anything else, at least medical skills, right? It's better than you jumping."

Jin Wushu was speechless. Suddenly, he sensed the concern in her words, and became happy again. He looked at her suspiciously: "why didn't Wen long come back?"

Hua Rong avoided answering, but asked, "fourth prince, I heard you went to war?"

Jin Wushu's face changed from gray to angry: "Hua Rong, I won't hide it from you. In this life, I will kill King Qin. It's not that I won't let him go, but that this pirate is too deceptive and hateful..."

So you went to fight king Qin again? Hua Rong was surprised and wanted to ask how King Qin was, but looking at the look of the fourth prince, it was obvious that he had suffered a great loss

"The thief robbed us of a large amount of silver..."

The fourth Prince has a great fortune. He can say the word "a large number" in his mouth. How huge should it be? Hua Rongxin thought, "a large number? Is it 250000 liang?"

Jin Wushu snorted from his nose Every year, the tribute Fu of the song state was sent at the turn of spring and summer. She was familiar with this practice. This year, it was a little late Otherwise, how could the state of Jin somehow lose a large amount of silver? How can Jin Wushu easily send troops to pursue?

She exclaimed, "did king Qin really take the tribute silver?"

"It's not taking, it's robbing, a robber more hateful than a robber."

Hua Rong laughed, like a gold ingot suddenly falling from the sky and hitting her feet Seeing her eyes shining, Jin Wushu did not hide her joy at all, and could no longer help but say angrily, "are you gloating?"

"The fourth Prince is obviously something of the state of song. The difference is that you are the first-hand robber and King Qin is the second-hand. What kind of schadenfreude am I?"

"Hua Rong, you, you turned so towards that guy, the pirate who did all kinds of evil..."

Hua Rong said positively, "I'm not facing him, even if it's not king Qin. No matter who changed, I'm very happy to hijack this batch of silver. Oh, fourth prince, no wonder you vomited blood. I see. Unfortunately, unfortunately, is it necessary to save some of the food, drink and fun of the golden aristocrats this year? It's estimated that the imperial palace of Heci can't be so magnificent?"

She smiled as she spoke, looking sweet and pure, as if she were an old friend chatting rather than hostile Jin Wushu was angry and could not refute. However, this anger was not really depressed in his heart, but an inexplicable relaxation. Even if he was ridiculed like this, it was also a great comfort

Hua Rong was surprised to see that he could stand the irony for the first time, calm down, and didn't say anything more. He just felt that he had never been so happy in recent months. Thinking about what a big figure, 250000 liang of silk, almost equivalent to the annual GDP of the kingdom of Jin (hey, I don't know how to express it, to borrow modern terms), no wonder the fourth prince would be so angry King Qin, how many troops can he expand? For this batch of tribute silver, since last year, she has not made up her mind, but she is so weak that she is simply unrealistic. Unexpectedly, King Qin actually hijacked it successfully

The meaning of laughter was in the bottom of my eyes, and I couldn't even hide it. Of course, Jin Wushu couldn't see it, but sneered, "King Qin can't escape. The crown prince has sent a large army to pursue him, so I don't believe he can fly to heaven."

Hua Rong thought of the mysterious land across the grassland and mountains In these border areas, there are too many places to hide, countless small tribes haunt, and even maintain the original form for hundreds of years. If she doesn't believe it, she can't hide a king Qin

Such a smile made Jin Wushu jealous and hateful. After pursuing these days, he slowly found that King Qin was by no means an idle person, and from the specification and style of sending out the army, he was not inspired by Yelv at all, but acted privately Therefore, he pursued unsuccessfully and adopted a new strategy What medicine is sold in the gourd of King Qin? Jin Wushu seemed to say to himself, "King Qin has spared no effort to work for his father-in-law."

So what?

"Hua Rong, don't be happy too early. When the silver arrives in Yelv Dayong's hand, it's just to reject the wolf before and the tiger after. What's the good for you in the Song Dynasty?"

"That's better than being in Dajin's hands."
