Chapter 778: The Death of Liu Yanqing

Liangshanbo is no longer a small village with thousands of people in the past, and Wang Lun cannot care about everything in detail. In addition, he is born as a hand-off manager, so Wang Lun has no way to detect this episode triggered by the little leader Du Xing. His attention at this time was all focused on another matter.

He suddenly realized that the more he walked towards Tokyo, the more strange he felt.

It is said that this is the hottest weather of the year, but the closer it is to the capital of the Song Dynasty, the cooler the weather is. Since the Xingren Mansion was bounded and came to the territory of Dongming County, Kaifeng, the rootless water veil was poured, as if the rain was always unclean. Seeing that it was difficult to travel, Wang Lun had to rest in the hotel. When he was free, he heard many different opinions from the drinkers. When he said that the water suddenly rose by five or seven meters, he also said that it was more than ten meters. At present, the residents of Moutuogang, northwest of the capital, were all gone.

This is a flood!

In the face of such natural disasters, whether you are a saint or a king, prince, general, or minister, you are at a loss. Wang Lun is a foreigner in the Tokyo area, and he is also a shocking enemy who has been named in the Song Dynasty. It is difficult to make some moves. Therefore, he just passed a message to Lehe and let him act cheaply. He can do his best to do his best, and do his best to be destiny, so that he can feel at ease.

Wang Lun himself stayed in Dongming County for several days. Fortunately, the hotels he stayed at were all opened at home, so there was no inconvenience. However, although the hotels in suburban counties in Tokyo were under the jurisdiction of Lehe, they did not use the name of Yuxianlou. After all, intelligence is not about opening a chain store, and the bigger the name, the better.

Lehe has been working very quickly in the past or two years, and the information on the various intelligence websites were very smooth. Therefore, Wang Lun could still know the world without leaving the hotel. As soon as he received the news that the Goryeo delegation arrived at Kaifeng, Wang Lun set off again, rushing to Tokyo with wind and rain.

"The monks from Daxiangguo Temple have recited the scriptures for many days, and the water finally stopped. Alas..."

"That was Mr. Tongzhen Daling (the Taoist priest Lin Lingsu, who was honored by Huizong) who was profound in Taoism. He stopped this wild water, what was the matter of Monk Guan!"

"You know nothing! Don't you hear the sings of children in the streets? The tribute of the foreign country and the flood recedes. This is all due to my reputation in the Song Dynasty!"

There are many such gossips in the street market. It seems that residents of the capital of great powers love to talk about state affairs when they are free. It seems that it is not accidental. Lehe is just a light leverage, and the news that Goryeo comes to pay tribute spreads all over the city. Wang Lun does not expect such "rumor" to play any specific role, but if the face-loving Emperor Daojun really has any special interest in this mission, he is also a lion, right?

The news that Wang Lun was coming to Tokyo was limited to the few people with the highest authority, so the waiter who was recruiting customers at the door did not realize anything after seeing Wang Lun and Jiao Ting disguised themselves. They just treated ordinary customers and invited them to the store with great enthusiasm.

As soon as Wang Lun entered the store, he found that the guests in the store were separated by three or three, making the spacious lobby very empty, and even the special crosstalk performances in the store were not started. Wang Lun wondered if it was because of natural disasters that everyone had no intention of drinking. However, at this time, several high-profile businessmen overturned his judgment.

"It's amazing. I can't live this life! You said that if our official family starts war with that side, the business on the border will definitely not be completed! I don't know when this break will be restored!" A middle-aged man shook his head to his companion and sighed.

"It's like you have business on the court! Xu Daguan Ren is doing such a big business, but he has temporarily cut off the business there, and he is afraid that he will not have a meal?" The man who answered the conversation was a man who looked richer than him. Unlike the man who was so busy just now, he looked like he had been traveling all year round. Hearing the tone of the two of them, they should be very familiar with each other.

"I pointed at him for dinner, but he had no food to eat. What should I do in the future? Unlike you, you only have enough food. The whole family is not hungry! I have old people above and young people below!" The middle-aged man complained, slowed down and said, "Third brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is in the Ministry of Justice. Have you heard any inside information? Can this battle be fought? I have been remembering since I was a child, but we have never broken up with there!"

Wang Lun heard this and immediately realized that things were not simple. The "overside" in these two people's mouths was talking about the Liao Kingdom? But if it were to say that the Liao Kingdom is going to war with the Song Kingdom, he couldn't believe it anyway. Who would have started a fight with his neighbors when the thief was in the family? Although Yelu Yanxi and Zhao Ji are the two major treasures in the world, they are not a low-key person with IQ. What are the things that the two countries are trying to make trouble now? Zhao Ji is somewhat a little worried about taking back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but Yelu Yanxi has no reason!

Wang Lun quietly opened a seat nearby, ordered some things casually, and then sent the waiter away, and continued to sound down.

"You also know that my brother-in-law belongs to the Ministry of Justice, not to the Privy Council. You think it's a gift!" The man with a little yamen rolled his eyes back to his deskmate.

"Aren't I asking you about it? I'm doing a caravan that has been preparing for a long time. Official Xu stopped when he said that. Brother, I'm anxious! Among the playmates we have been having since childhood, you are the most promising. I don't have a backbone! All the young and old are pointing at me!" The middle-aged man's face turned red.

"I said why did the iron cockerels pluck her hair? She actually wanted to invite me to come to the Xianxiang Tower to drink. It turned out to be an inquire! Your Grand Official Xu is also a man of great hands and eyes. Just ask him directly?" But his companions were not anxious and teased him with words.

"I'm just an errand, how can I get along with Mr. Xu..." the middle-aged man cried.

"As you said, you are just an errand runner. Are you so anxious?" The rich man looked careless, but he was not a fool. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I don't take me to play with my private goods. Is he anxious now?"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw this, and subconsciously wiped the sweat from his head, as if he had made a great determination and said, "How about we brothers have the blessing in the future?"

"Go on the road!" The rich man smiled and said, "What's hard to guess about this? The Khitans found a wedge this time and wanted to turn Hedong into another Xia Kingdom! I think the court will definitely not admit defeat. With Tong Shumi here, this battle may be dragged on after a while. If you want to go on the court again, you may be out of the way in a short period of time!"

"Ah!" The middle-aged man suddenly lost his color and raised his head to drink a glass of muffled wine.

After listening to it, Wang Lun finally heard a rough news, but this news surprised him very much. The Liao Kingdom actually intervened in the war in Hedong!

Yelu Yanxi felt uncomfortable if she didn't commit suicide. I don't know how much profit Tian Hu sold to the Khitans, and actually let them take the thief from the fire. This dog thief is really like Shi Jingtang's reincarnation!

Just as Wang Lun pondered, he heard the laughter of the rich man, "What's the hurry? If you don't hang out with Master Xu, you will have no food to eat? My brother-in-law, a colleague who is close friends, is going to be promoted and take the local path. My brother-in-law found a way for me to make a fortune in front of him, but I was alone when I left Tokyo, and I just didn't know what you thought?"

Wang Lun heard that the topic of the conversation changed, and he was not interested in continuing to listen. He stood up and called the waiter and asked, "Where is your Ledong Family?"

When the waiter saw the question, he looked at Wang Lun for a while, but he wanted to recognize him but was uncertain. At this moment, a handsome young man came in outside the hotel. The waiter hurriedly said "Wait", and then went to the handsome young man to speak a few words. The young man then looked at Wang Lun, and a joy appeared on his face. He went forward to greet him: "It turns out that the distinguished guest is coming, so please ask the elegant seat on the second floor to speak!"

Wang Lun didn't speak. The capital city was full of people, and any inconspicuous one was the relative of a small bureaucrat from the Ministry of Justice. He just smiled at the handsome young man and took Jiao Ting upstairs with his head raised.

"Who is this guy? He is so arrogant, he actually asked the owner of the Immortal Tower to welcome him!" The attractiveness of the rich man fell on Wang Lun. As soon as he spoke up, he was immediately pulled back to his plan to make money by his deskmate: "My brother, no matter who he is, I have nothing to do with us! You just said, which state prefecture is your brother-in-law and his colleague going to?"

He said that he wanted Wang Lun to go to the second floor and waited on the second floor. Lehe led the way directly in front, and the group of three went straight to the secret room.

The news of the Liao people sending troops to Hedong. Wang Lun still got it from the market. It has to be said that Lehe was a little dereliction of duty, but Wang Lun did not intend to hold him accountable. He knew that communication in this era was extremely backward, and even if there was a letter from Fei Ge, it was a point-to-point relationship. If he was not on the point, he would not receive the news even if it was timely transmitted.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the secret room, Lehe had no time to exchange greetings, and he told the news that he had just inquired from his acquaintance in the government:

"Please forgive me for not leaving the city to greet my brother. As soon as I received news from Hedong, I launched all relations to verify the letter. Just now, I got authoritative news from an official of the Privy Council. Three thousand Khitan cavalry suddenly appeared on the battlefield in Hedong a few days ago. Liu Yanqing, the general of the expedition army, was greedy for merit and made a rash progress. He just happened to hit the pocket of the ambush Khitan cavalry. More than 4,000 people in the front were wiped out. Fortunately, Liu Zhongwu provided timely support, so the disaster did not cause. Liu Yanqing returned with injuries in this battle and died that night!"

"Is Liu Yanqing dead?"

Wang Lun was stunned when he heard this. This news should be considered heavy-weight news. Although this person was not a famous general at all, he led his army to flee on the Yanyun front line in his original trajectory, causing a very bad impact, so that the Jin people thought that the Song army was all such a thing and were more actively preparing for the plan to invade Song.

"It's true that Liu Guangshi is already on the way back to Beijing to report his demise... Ah! Brother, Liu Guangshi is the son of Liu Yanqing!" Le He was afraid that Wang Lun would not know the nameless Liu Guangshi, so he explained immediately.

Of course, Wang Lun knew who Liu Guangshi was, and also knew that this escaped general was well-known to his father, and would interpret the four words "escape when you look at the wind and run away" vividly in the future. Therefore, Wang Lun has always been true to this kind of gangster in the army. "Although Liu Yanqing has no ability, the key is to be obedient, to be precise, he listens to Tong Guan's words. He has always heard that the Western Army's Iron Triangle Secret, Liu Fa, and Liu Zhongwu have their own tricks, and have never been blindly attached to Tong Guan. Therefore, Liu Yanqing is also a person with a number of figures in Tong Guan's bag. When he dies, I am afraid that our Tong Shumi will be so angry that he will smoke!"

"My brother is so precautionary. It is reported that Tong Guan has a memorial that was handed directly to the official family. The envelope was stretched so hard that it seemed to be very informative!" Lehe said on the side.

Wang Lun didn't have to think about it. Tong Guan had been trying to conquer Liao for a long time, and this time he lost one of his generals. How could he be willing to swallow this mute loss? If he didn't take the opportunity to instigate Huizong, who was determined to adopt his plan, it would be different from his style!

You should know that Tong Guan’s purpose was to become the number one eunuch since the Song Dynasty: a king’s title eunuch. But how could Yan Yun be the king again? It would be strange if he was willing to touch Liangshan before his long-cherished wish was done! After all, this was a loss-making deal that would ruin his reputation for a lifetime.

But, is Zhao Ji willing?

Although these two people are usually as good as one person, at critical moments, their biased position is enough to destroy this farce of "the acquisition of the king and the minister", there is no one in the world who can send troops more than Wang Lun.

This is just a conditioned reflex. If you analyze it from a deeper level, it is even more in line with Zhao Ji's interests. Please, he is just pretending to be a wise ruler, not a true wise ruler. The important thing is to enjoy life. If you are troubled by emergency military situations all day long, no matter how caring the eunuch Tong is, he will be despaired!

Wang Lun did not ask questions, but looked thoughtful. Lehe was quite eye-catching and did not interrupt. Instead, he gently poured two cups of tea for Wang Lun and Jiao Ting. Wang Lun took a sip of tea, but had no intention of opening his mouth. Lehe was not anxious, but just called Jiao Ting to drink tea. Jiao Ting said in a muffled voice: "I won't drink the same water as my brother!"

When Lehe heard this, he was about to ask him for details. Wang Lun explained for him: "This is Zhu Gui's idea. For example, if I moved my chopsticks to a certain dish, he would not even dip it in this dish. Beware of being taken away by someone." After Wang Lun said that, he focused on Ting and said: "Don't talk about this at home!"

But Jiao Ting turned his head and threw it away: "His enemy can be seen, but my enemy cannot!"

Wang Lun spread his hands, took another sip of the tea he poured by Lehe, praised the "good tea", and ignored Jiao Ting, saying, "When Liu Yanqing died, the situation in Hedong will be complicated. The subsequent direction involves the relationship with Liao, our officials must be swaying from side to side, and the ministers in the court should be in a mess again. In this way, you will continue to keep in touch with powerful people in the court and strive for more valuable information for reference!"

Lehe nodded and said, "If my brother has no other instructions, I will go and arrange it now!"

"Wait, you immediately send a letter back to the parody, asking them to question the 'mole', why don't you report such an important news about Tian Hutong's stolen country? Do you think that with the support of a foreigner, he can be the father-in-law for the rest of his life? In addition, urgently activate the 'Jingzhe' and ask him to find out for me what the group of people ambushed the Western Army is from!"

Lehe consciously did not ask who "Jingzhe" was, but just said to himself, "Is this cavalry... not Khitan?" (To be continued.)
