Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Before he got back to the house and sat down, Xu Zizhen called Liu Feng and Bu Fen in. The less people know about the real thing, the better. It is enough for them to discuss it.

The insider in Lanzhou city made Xu Zizhen feel as if a fishbone had been stuck in his throat, and it would be extremely uncomfortable if he didn't remove it. In a few days, he would have a decisive battle with Xiang Size. If something went wrong at that point, it would be full After losing all games, and the matter of the black fire, God knows if it will suddenly appear in Xingzi Castle one day, so I have to find a way to destroy it, which is another terrible job.

After listening to what Xu Zizhen said, including the conversation between Xiang Size and the eunuch, the two were pondering. Xu Zizhen was impatient and couldn't help saying: "I said, you are giving me some advice, don't just keep silent."

Bu Fen glanced at Liu Fengsui, and said with a broken smile, "This kid doesn't use his brains, so he came to urge the two of us."

Xu Zizhen said angrily: "Nonsense, why do I ask you if I can use my brain?"

Bu Fen said with a smile: "Don't worry about this traitor first, let me ask you, what is the other meaning of Xiang Size's words, did you hear it?"

Xu Zizhen was startled: "Other meanings? What's the meaning?"

Bu Fen shook his head, and said helplessly: "First, Xiang Size didn't explain the big defeat in detail. Although he didn't want to expose his ugliness, he also intended to cover up the facts. From this point of view, this person has a different heart. The Xiao family is no longer as affectionate as before."

Xu Zizhen listened carefully and nodded again and again: "What else?"

"Secondly, when he mentioned the God of War in Lanzhou City, that is, you, brother, the anxiety in his words was very obvious. It seems that Xiang Size is very afraid of you, and he wants to get rid of you quickly, but there is no good plan. The traitors in the city are useless, at least they are not the closest relatives of Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiaozhong."

Xu Zizhen interjected, "I've thought of that too. Didn't he say that the traitor couldn't find a chance, and he said that he couldn't move me? It's obviously a little cowardly towards me."

Bu Fen said: "Counseling is counseling, but it may not be because of you. Let's talk about it again... Thirdly, there is not enough food and grass in the Xixia River, which shows that the rear of Xixia is also in chaos. ? If it wasn’t for Xixia’s war with other countries, it was too late to take care of it, or Xia Chongzong had already started to contend with the Xiao family in secret.”

Xu Zizhen stared blankly at Bu Fen, as if he was meeting him for the first time, and suddenly jumped up and slapped his hands: "Damn it! Brother Bu, you have such a good brain? You are both civil and military! I don't know what kind of person is that?" Who is Qiye, otherwise I would definitely recommend you, and at least I would play with you as a first-rank and second-rank."

Bu Fen looked at him strangely: "You don't know who Qiye is?"

Xu Zizhen was stunned: "Do you know?"

Liu Fengsui laughed, and interjected: "Brother, you look smart, why haven't you guessed it until now? Even Xiang Size has said that he is the seventh son of the Zhao family, so why guess? Seven sons."

"The seventh son of the official family?" Xu Zizhen jumped up, "You mean the emperor's son? That is... the seventh prince?"

Bu Fen and Liu Feng nodded at the same time: "Exactly!"

Xu Zizhen froze for a moment, Seventh Prince?Which unlucky guy is that?I hate that I didn't study hard at the time. I don't know how many sons the old boy Huizong has, and which one is the seventh son. After knowing the shame of Jingkang, only Kang Wang Zhao Gou picked up the bargain, and none of the other princes had any. promising.

But this Seventh Lord seems to be very popular, otherwise the traitor would not be afraid of him and dare not touch him. By this time, he is too lazy to think about how the Seventh Lord knows him. There is such a backstage out of nowhere, and the most important things right now are the traitor and black fire.

Xu Zizhen paced back and forth in the room a few times with his hands behind his back. The matter of the black fire cannot be resolved right now, so he can only wait and see what happens. At worst, he will find someone to burn it when it arrives. It's okay to say, but the traitor must Solve it as soon as possible, before the command arrow is used, none of my group can go out, so I can only ask Du Jin to make another trip.

After Du Jin came, he heard what Xu Zizhen said, and he agreed happily: "Now that Xiang Size is using me, if I make up an excuse to go out of the city, I don't think it will be difficult."

"Then it's hard work, Uncle Du." Xu Zizhen no longer hesitated, found a pen and paper to write a few names, thought about it and added a line, and then folded the paper and handed it to Du Jin.

He had repeatedly thought about the possibility of these names. He asked Du Jin to give this piece of paper to Shui Liuli in private, and let her deal with it. Shui Liuli is skilled and quick to respond. The key is that she is now Xu Zizhen's woman. Yes, enough credibility.

Du Jin put away the note and left, Liu Fengsui couldn't help asking: "Brother, what shall we do next?"

Xu Zizhen stretched his waist and yawned big: "Do nothing, rest."

The food here is very good, there are enough beef and mutton pancakes, and there are two jars of wine in the evening. Feng Size is still counting on seeing the muskets sooner, so naturally he will not wrong them during the meal. In the past few days, the meat has grown a lot.

But he didn't really rest and do nothing. He still had to work as usual during the day. At least these two days when Xiang Size came to inspect, he had already seen rows of half-finished muskets. He started to sit cross-legged and continued to practice the Jiuyang Scripture.

He had been seriously injured in the previous series of battles. Although his physique was good and he had fully recovered from the trauma, he still needed to recuperate slowly inside. There was still a real highlight waiting for him. You can't be careless, but Xiang Size provided a good environment. With no one disturbing, Xu Zizhen's depleted internal strength gradually recovered day by day.

Du Jin made a trip to Lanzhou without anyone noticing, and he had already returned. During the day, he pretended to be the supervisor in the yard, and at night, he went into Xu Zizhen's house to discuss the next action. The other Jishou couldn't come here, but he But he can go there once in a while, and the progress of the extreme artillery is under his control.

After eavesdropping on Xiang Size's words from the tunnel that day, Xu Zizhen arranged another thing. He would go out to explore every night when he knew how to do Qinggong, write down everything he saw and heard, and report to him when he came back. On Bufen's side, Bu's bearded man has roamed the Northwest Road for many years, and he belongs to the old world of thieves and thieves. He can't hide any troubles from him.

There are a lot of trivial things on weekdays, and even Bu Fen can't tell what special significance they have. However, after another five days, the news brought back by a member of the Tianxiahui cheered up Bu Fen all of a sudden.

"Today, 17 people were beheaded in a row in the Xixia army."

Bu Fen hurriedly asked, "Why was he beheaded?"

The man said: "I also heard it from hiding in the dark. It seems that those people secretly killed a war horse and ate it."

Now even Xu Zizhen understood, stood up abruptly, exchanged a glance with Bu Fen, and said in unison: "The Western Xia army is short of food!"
