Chapter 684 Introducing Bandits to the South
"The customs of the north and the south are different after all. You are so important, can you still get used to it?"

Seeing Zu Yue approaching with a smile, as if asking with concern, Xin Bin hastily clapped his hands and responded: "The fate of the far away country is humble, but I am lucky to not die, and I have been chosen by my grandfather's kindness, so I have a place to stay temporarily, but I will die." Use your life, how can you talk about getting used to it."

After hearing the words, Zu Yue waved his hands, patted Xin Bin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Zi Zhong needn't say that, I'm just a wandering soul from a far away country, I deeply respect the protection of the king here, and we can share weal and woe with you. Do things with your heart, and you will not be buried in this life.”

After saying that, Zu Yue walked straight past and turned to the side hall of the palace.Sim Bin, on the other hand, maintained a respectful posture and waited until Zu Yue left for a long time before standing up straight.

He is a general of the Yamen, and he belongs to the guard army of the imperial confinement, but in fact he is just a soldier of the palace.It is said that the personal soldiers are all the same, because he has never met Zhongshan Wang Shihu so far, but he just lives in the palace and has a fixed establishment.

There are dozens of people with similar duties in Zhongshan Prince's Mansion alone, which is far from a prominent position.Of course, the status in the palace is higher than those of the samurai bandits. After all, there are dozens of soldiers under his command, and most of them are recruited by himself from the same samurai in the past.

Moreover, when he was not on duty, Xin Bin's freedom was not restricted, and he could enter and leave the palace at will with his military badge, and even went straight to the forbidden palace.However, Xin Bin did not dare to get carried away because of this, and still kept his sense of proportion. He just sent a few cronies of Longxi soldiers to quietly inquire about Qian Feng and others in the city when people were not paying attention, but there was no reply.

Recently, when he was on duty in the palace, Xin Bin also saw Zu Yue a lot, and gradually felt Zu Yue's situation beside Shi Hu.This person is no longer a general of Zhenxi, a local uncle in the north, but just an idler. Due to the dark situation in recent days, he was frequently summoned by Shi Hu. He would never see him at all in normal seasons, and naturally he would not be seen in the palace. Prestige and authority can be said.

Probably when the power and position were discarded, the temper was also taken away.Up to now, Xin Bin has been able to confirm that there is indeed no old friendship between Qin Su's family and Zu Yue.However, this person has been taking a lot of care of Xin Bin recently, and he has made no secret of his favor.

While trying his best to cater to him, Xin Bin couldn't help but feel generalized, so much so that he wanted to ask Zu Yue if he regretted what he did in the early years?In this chaotic world, once a person makes a wrong mistake, it will be beyond redemption.

When Zuyue was in the south, even if he didn't talk about his family's old reputation, he was one of the few people in the south with power and position.But now fleeing to the north, his life is in the hands of others, and he has become an old slave in prison.

As the cold food was approaching, Xin Bin was officially on duty in the palace for more than ten days. Finally, he received an order to lead dozens of soldiers under his command, join forces with several other Yamen, rush out of the palace, and go straight to Chongren in the city of Xiangguo. Going inside, a mansion is surrounded by water, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Before leaving, Zu Yue came to see Xin Bin and privately exhorted him, saying that this family is also a high-ranking scholar from Jin Dynasty, so they should not be abused lightly, and if their duties allow, they might as well take a little shelter.

Xin Bin originally thought that this order was nothing more than bad luck for a family and offended Shi Hu, so he didn't pay much attention to it. After asking a lot, he had a deeper understanding of Shi Hu's arrogance: it turned out that they were going to guard this family. It's not vulgar, but Liu Wei, an important Jiangdong minister who fled north in the early years, and now also occupies a high position in the Shizhao court!
"Although Liu Gong and I have no old friendship, we still have the righteousness to be ministers in the same palace. This time he is worse than King Zhongshan. Even if I want to be considerate, it is too small. I can only entrust the matter to Zizhong."

When Zu Yue talked about this, he couldn't help sighing, and then whispered: "Now that the capital of Xiangguo is down, there are many disputes, which are far beyond the knowledge of you and me. But there is a happy event that I can share with Zizhong. If the king of Zhongshan succeeds this time, I, an old man, dare not look far away, Zizhong may return in glory!"

Xin Bin's eyes flickered after hearing the words, and he wanted to talk a little bit more about it, but Zu Yue kept his secret and waved his hands away.

So Xin Bin led his troops to Chongrenli with his heart full of thoughts.

Now the Zhao State is divided into groups, similar to Jiehu and some other miscellaneous Hus who are close to him are all Chinese, living in the surrounding areas of the two capitals.The rest of the Hus also had their own gains, but the Jin people were widely abused.However, there are exceptions to this. Chongrenli, located in Xiangguo, is a place that Lord Zhao has set up for the families of Jin people in the north. There are few barbarian intrusions, but it can maintain a little stability.

But today the tranquility in Chongrenli was broken, a group of fierce soldiers rushed in and went straight to Prince Shaofu Liu Kui's mansion.The Liu family was naturally disturbed, they resisted for a while, and were knocked to the ground by this group of wolf-like soldiers, and several people even splashed their blood directly in the courtyard!
Afterwards, things went much smoother, the soldiers surrounded the mansion tightly, and there were still a few visitors in the mansion, but they were all expelled.After hearing the news, the Imperial Army arrived and learned that these soldiers were the guards of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. After staying for a long time, they left in desperation amidst the arrogant laughter of these fierce soldiers.

Xin Bin remembered Zu Yue's advice, he didn't wreak havoc after entering the mansion, he just led the crowd to occupy an inadvertently important side hall of the mansion, without showing much publicity.

In the evening, Liu's family brought the meals in desolation, and Xin Bin and others ate directly in the corridor.While eating, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Qin Zizhong?"

Hearing this call, Xin Bin's shoulders trembled, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a longing figure standing in the corner not far away, his heart was filled with surprise, and he couldn't help but took a few steps However, seeing the Hu soldiers around him all being curious and interacting, he suppressed his mood and pretended to go in plainly, chatting a few gossips, as if it was a reunion of old acquaintances, but in fact, he had already promised to meet again.

At nightfall, taking advantage of getting up at night, Xin Bin quickly rushed into an inconspicuous side room in the mansion. Seeing Qian Feng smiling and looking at him in the room, he bowed to him and had a thousand words in his heart, but at this reunion time, I don't know where to start.

After seeing Xin Bin, Qian Feng was also very happy, but he had experienced great joy and sorrow, and his self-control was much stronger than Xin Bin. He patted Xin Bin's hair and signaled to sit nearby, and his tone of voice had returned to calm when he spoke. : "Today, Ou Guanzi emphasizes his posture, and he must have stood firm, so I can feel relieved."

Xin Bin also hurriedly calmed down his emotions, and quickly introduced all kinds of things after the separation. At the same time, he also added some speculations about Zu Yue.

After Xin Bin finished speaking, Qian Feng also narrated his experience, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zi Zhong has also become self-reliant, and this trip can be said to be a profound one. .”

"I have heard a little about the story of Patriarch Shao's coming to the north in Liugong's residence. Ji Long, a beast against human feelings, spoiled his ancestor's youngest son, and took pleasure in watching his father and son enmity. Although he is lamentable, But it's hard to be sympathetic, and he is extinct from the world, and now in Jilong's mansion, he is temporarily preserved."

Qian Feng was treated much better than Xin Bin in Liu Kai's house, so he got much more information and knew more about Zu Yue's situation.

Xin Bin is still lamenting that Mr. Qian is not a vulgar person. Although his description is ruined, his talent cannot be concealed.Seeing that Qian Feng said something serious, he hurriedly said: "What is Zu's heart, it is difficult to be a servant, but judging from the situation in his mansion, Ji Long should be looking for something outside."

Qian Feng nodded, and also shared what he had gained: "Grand Liu is evil to Ji Long, that's why. Earlier, Lord Zhao called, and Mr. Liu tried his best to be elegant, so he blamed Ji Long and was abused in the sect."

"This stone tiger acts so violently, isn't he afraid of offending Lord Zhao?"

Xin Bin asked in surprise.

"It's an arrogance and disobedience to the family, so there is no relationship between a monarch and a father. Ji Long is powerful and has become the world dragon under Liu Yuanhai's command in the past. If there is no struggle, there will be a tragedy. See you soon, Cheng Xia, I persuade Liu Gongyan to push Daya, now it seems that Ji Long is still far stronger than I estimated."

Qian Feng didn't look contemptuous when he said this, he was just discussing the matter as it stands, he himself is a traitor in Jiangdong, so he has no right to belittle others for being rebellious.

"If you say what Mr. Ji said, then Ji Longyuan's trip will be a foregone conclusion? This is not a good thing for the son-in-law..."

Simbin said worriedly.

"There will be conquests every year, and it doesn't matter who presides over them. No matter Ji Long or Daya, strong bandits are inevitable, and Jiangdong's situation will inevitably shrink. But we don't have to worry about the son-in-law, he is far better than you and me. Since you dare to leap forward, you should not be afraid of the captives from the north going south."

Qian Feng has great confidence in Shen Zhezi, but he doesn't intend to just do nothing: "Now you and I are still silent, and it is difficult to prevent major events, but there is no need to work too hard. As Zizhong said, patriarchs should not endure humiliation. If you want to survive, you must have different ambitions. In the future, you might as well give a little hint that Liu Gong may not be unable to help Ji Long here."

"The two of them traveled to the north in desperation, and the situation was terrible. Once their lives are safe, they will return home with enthusiasm. There are no ordinary opportunities. This time, Lord Zhao wants to plunder the south with a large army. , A shame can also be expected. Right now, Master Zhao’s dilemma is nothing more than choosing Daya or Jilong. If Daya is chosen, Jilong will be worried, and it will become a heartache. If Jilong is chosen, slaves will be even more difficult to control. The country may change hands."

Qian Feng quickly analyzed: "Patriarch Shao is not going forward with words at the moment. I am afraid that Ji Long will not be able to travel south. You can speak up when you return home. Please advise Ji Long to make a move to avoid being sent by Lord Zhao. If Ji Long is sent Elsewhere, the Zu family's scheme will surely come to nothing!"

Qian Feng's train of thought was very clear, Jie Hu's use of troops to the south was not something they could stop, and now Shi Jilong and Shi Daya couldn't stand each other, and a long delay would definitely cause trouble.Shi Le must be very clear about this, so this dispute will not last too long, and there will definitely be a result soon.

In the end, no matter which one it is, it is not good news for the south. If Shi Hu temporarily leaves the capital to ease the atmosphere of the dispute, Shi Le will be cautious again and dare not directly appoint his son.As long as it can be delayed for a day, the preparations for the south will be comprehensive.

As for whether Zu Yue can persuade Shi Hu, it depends on his own efforts.After all, Zu Yue's plans were based on the fact that Shi Hu would preside over the Southern Expedition.If Master Zhao and Xi Ni send Shi Hu to take charge of the army elsewhere, it will be impossible for Zu Yue to return to the south, and his importance to Shi Hu will be greatly reduced.

As for the final result, it is nothing more than a battle.To be honest, Qian Feng also has a lot of expectations for this battle. If Shen Zhezi can remain undefeated in this battle, he will be famous in China!
