Fisherman's Song Dynasty

Huining Mansion is Shangjing, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin. A few days ago, when the so-called Hulongying Camp was formed, Xu Zizhen came here, but it was only during the day, and after staying there for a long time, he left the city and went to the ghost village where no shit. In the circle, there has always been a misunderstanding in his thinking, that is, not long after the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the so-called capital is at most similar to some counties in the Song Dynasty, but now it seems that it is still very prosperous and lively.

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Quan couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Sanshun is coming back to Huining Mansion for the first time? How about it? It's much more lively than your hometown, right?"

Xu Zizhen simply pretended to enter the city, smacked his lips and said, "My mother, it's already midnight and there are so many people, don't you dare to sleep at night?"

Liu Quan laughed, pulled him to the restaurant, and said: "I'm going to sleep now, let's go, the wine in this restaurant is good, let's have a good drink."

Xu Zizhen wondered: "Brother often come to Huining Mansion?"

Liu Quan suddenly became a little hesitant and said, "I've been here a few times, but I don't think I come often."

Xu Zizhen didn't ask any more questions, and followed him into the building. The staff at the door led him in. The lobby on the first floor was already full, and finally there was a table in the corner of the second floor. After a pot of wine and a few side dishes, the waiter yelled to place an order, and Xu Zizhen glanced around habitually.

The two of them sneaked out to drink in the middle of the night, so naturally they couldn't wear the uniforms of Hulongying. Xu Zizhen was dressed in a rustic way, but Liu Quan was a good-looking talent, and he was also dressed in sloppy clothes. He looked like a poor relative brought by a rich man in the city. As if seeing a big scene, it didn't attract the attention of others.

Not long after the food and drink arrived, Liu Quan poured a full glass for Xu Zizhen, raised his own glass and said, "Brother Sanshun, from now on you and I are comrades, and I hope Brother Sanshun will take care of you."

"It's easy to say." Xu Zizhen gulped it down with a smile, and grinned, "Enough."

Liu Quan laughed and said, "There are a lot of spirits in the restaurants in Shangjing, but it's rare to get rice wine and rice wine from the south. Brother Sanshun, if you're not used to drinking it, I'll find some for you someday." After speaking, he winked at Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen was stunned, but he quickly understood what he meant. You didn't buy it, and different words naturally have different meanings. This kid probably didn't know where to steal it. Needless to say, he was relying on his own lightness. , I don't know if this kid is doing anything else besides stealing wine. Looking at this white face, I'm afraid he might have been a flower picker in the past.

The street was still brightly lit and bustling, and in the distance a huge silhouette lurked in the darkness, that was the palace of the Kingdom of Jin. Xu Zizhen was drinking slowly with a glass of wine, chatting with Liu Quan, his gaze But glance there from time to time.

How should I find Zhao Zhi?

This proposition has troubled Xu Zizhen for many days. Originally, he still had a vague sense of looking down on the Jin Kingdom’s palace. The Jurchen clan’s rise has only been a few years old, and their palace is probably not much bigger than the courtyard of the landlord’s old wealthy family. Because he found that even if the imperial palace of the Jinren was not as small as that of the Zhao family in Bianjing, it was not much smaller.

But no matter what, Xu Zizhen didn't give up the idea of ​​going to the palace to find someone. When he came to Shangjing alone, he never thought that he could go back easily and peacefully, so this is why he didn't alarm anyone. Jiying was transferred to help, with Bu Fen, Tang Lun and He Liangliang, their success rate would naturally be much higher, but they are now helping Yelu Dashi open up the Western Regions, and their small life is easy and comfortable, not to mention the thousands of mountains from Uighur to Shangjing. Water, along the way there are steep mountains, rapids, dangerous rivers, and when they get here, it is estimated that it will be autumn.

In front of him, Liu Quan suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother Sanshun, hurry up and go to bed after you go back, don't let the commander find out that we slipped out, otherwise it won't be fun to be beaten, anyway, there will be opportunities to come out again in the future."

Xu Zizhen's heart moved, that's right, no one was watching that bullshit guard dragon camp, it was easy to sneak out, and the city wall of Huining Mansion was not heavily guarded, so Liu Quan just turned over casually and no one found it ?

Damn, simply is a simply!

Xu Zizhen made up his mind, since Hulongying was not on duty in the palace, he just chose to go into the palace on a dark and windy day these few days.

As soon as he changed his mind to this, he suddenly heard a burst of orderly and low footsteps from a distance, and then the noise in the street downstairs stopped for an instant. Xu Zizhen was amazed, and looked at the window, only to see diners at a few tables by the window Everyone who was eating and talking stopped, and looked out the window not knowing what to see.

Xu Zizhen was not far from the window, so he simply stood up and looked out, only to see a group of people and horses approaching slowly in the distance, among dozens of fine horses guarding a soft sedan chair, in front of the front were four signposts that read "Avoid Quiet," someone who knew beside him said in a low voice: "Master Helu is busy every day until now before returning, no wonder the Holy Family is so prosperous, even the Prime Minister of the country is almost inferior to him."

Another person said: "Naturally, the fight with the south side is lively. Isn't Lord Helu the privy envoy the busiest?"

Xu Zizhen suddenly realized, is this the privy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin?No wonder the ostentation, but having said that, the ostentation of the Jin people is much worse than that of the Song court.

He came out tonight just to step on the spot, and he didn't intend to cause extra trouble, let alone a privy envoy passing by, even if Wu Qimai came in person, it's nothing to do with him, so he took a look and planned to sit down and continue drinking.

But at this moment, something happened suddenly. The window of a closed shop on the side of the street suddenly opened, and a row of crossbow arrows shot towards the face. The cavalry walking in front of them were caught off guard and were shot over.

The guard reacted very quickly, and drew out his waist knife to surround the sedan chair, and shouted: "Protect your lord, take the assassin!"

With a few bangs, the window of the shop was smashed open, and a dozen men in black clothes leaped out from inside, holding bright steel knives in their hands, bows and crossbows pinned to their waists, and shot at the soft sedan chair. Come and shout: "Kill Helu!"

Xu Zizhen's heart suddenly rose. Jin Guo's privy envoy is an important minister. If the assassination is successful, the morale of the Song army will undoubtedly be greatly improved. Although the number of assassins is small, Helu's guards are also small.

These men didn't wear face scarves, and each of them had a look of determination on their faces. They assassinated important ministers of the country in the downtown area. Presumably, they didn't plan to go back alive. Xu Zizhen sighed in his heart.

The guards were also elites in the army, but the incident happened in a hurry, and they were chopped down by the assassins without any preparation. The sedan chair, but at this moment, there was a whistle on the roof, and several large nets fell from the sky. Lead pendants were hung on the edges of the nets, and they accurately and quickly caught a few assassins. , but it couldn't be cut through, and the spears of the guards who were still struggling had arrived, stabbing randomly through the net, and the murderous assassin just now turned into a dead soul in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other assassins who were covering the outside turned around and withdrew, but another group of black shadows appeared on the roof, and a burst of stringing arrows rained down, and the remaining few were all killed without exception.

The black shadow bowed to the soft sedan and then disappeared in an instant, and the roof returned to silence again, as if it had never appeared before.

Xu Zizhen sat back on the chair, his back was covered with cold sweat.
