Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 475 Unfathomable Xiaoxi

"The fourth white crow in the holy hall." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. The world doesn't count the dead Yu Laomo, Chen Jingyuan, and Qian Yuechan, and now there are two and a half people known as Lou Yanming and Zhang Wumeng. step inborn strong.Underneath this, there are super-class masters who have glimpsed this line, the most powerful of which are Dali Kingdom Mountain Master, Yufeng, Yu Daoxiang, Ye Chen, Shangguan Bingyun, Guo Wuwei, Zhan Xiongwu and others. In the past year, Bai Canghai's strength has developed rapidly and he is extremely talented in the way of swordsmanship. Besides these people, the four white crows and several elders of the holy hall should also have this strength.Among these people, there are many first-class masters who have surpassed the ordinary ones, but there are still some quack masters who are not far behind the super-first-rate masters, such as Lian Jicheng, the deputy envoy of the Assassination Department of the Holy Church, and the current master of Jianzhuang. Bai Zixuan and others.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiaoxi!" Ye Chen recalled his relationship with Yu Daoxiang, and Yu Daoxiang's relationship with Cui Xi, and continued with some headaches: "Xiaoxi, have you ever thought about it? I am now in charge of the position of the Huaxia Weifu. If your church will always act in the same way in the future and always think about manipulating some major events behind the scenes, whether it is me or my Emperor Song, how can it be because of you alone? , and spare the church?"

"Cooperation will benefit both." Cui Xi smiled, unspeakably chic, "The Song Dynasty is already the orthodox of China, and it is easy to destroy the Southern Tang. It may be more troublesome to win Dali than to destroy the Southern Tang, but because of the Huaxia Weifu It should not be difficult. However, if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to destroy the Northwest Dangxiang ministries, especially the Northern Expedition to Khitan, and truly restore the territory of the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties to unify the world, the difficulty would be that ten Southern Tang and Dali could not do it together. In contrast, if you can get the real full help of the Holy Church in this process, whether it is the food and grass needed for each battle, or other aspects, the influence and role that the Holy Church can exert will definitely not let the prince and Da Song The emperor was disappointed."

"And as long as the subordinate survives." Cui Xi said calmly: "The holy hall may eventually help Da Song as the subordinate just said, and at the same time the holy hall will become the most trusted ally of the prince."

Listening to these very ordinary words, but in fact they are very unusual words. Even with Ye Chen's current ambition, his heart beats a little faster. For Ye Chen, who knows the original historical development, he certainly knows that the Song Dynasty failed to succeed in the Northern Expedition from beginning to end. Even in the face of negotiations and wars with Khitan, it has always been at an absolute disadvantage. In the original history, since Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in the Northern Song Dynasty in 160, and since Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, they have been giving Khitan old coins. It is a shame in the history of China. .Until later, the Khitan itself was corrupted internally and was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom established by the rise of Jurchen in the Northeast. Then it was the shame of Jingkang, and the Northern Song Dynasty became the Southern Song Dynasty.Throughout history, the Song Dynasty was called the Weak Song Dynasty.

Thinking of these things that others don't know, for some reason, Ye Chen didn't want to say more about it, and slightly lowered his head and said, "Xiaoxi! Do you want to follow me to Beijing?"

"Yes!" Cui Xi sighed leisurely: "This is the first time for this subordinate to go to the capital of the Song Dynasty. I heard that there are countless beauties in the Yongle Guild Hall in Kyoto, and their temperament and characteristics are different from those of other brothels. I must taste it carefully." fan."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I won't give you a discount. Although you still look like a virgin."

Cui Xi didn't expect Ye Chen to say that, after a little startle, he smiled and said: "Even if the prince doesn't give salary to his subordinates, but his subordinates are members of the Holy Church after all, and the most important thing that the Holy Church lacks is money. .”

Ye Chen rubbed his hands that were starting to get cold again, put his hands on the brazier, looked at the white ash in the basin under his hands, and said, "There is a guest in the Prince Jin's mansion in Kaifeng City, known as Mr. Chen, you go Kill him."

Cui Xi was silent. Although he didn't know who that Mr. Chen was, he could imagine the important role that Mr. Chen played in the church.

Ye Chen raised his head and looked at him: "I don't care what those old foxes in the holy church think, I have to see your attitude, even if you will call me uncle in the end. So before entering Beijing, I want to see that Chen Mister's head."

Cui Xi continued to remain silent. After a long time, he nodded lightly, bowed to Ye Chen, walked to the door, and when he was about to push the wooden door open with both hands, he suddenly turned around and said, "This Mr. Chen doesn't think it's easy to kill, otherwise The prince probably sent someone to kill him a long time ago. So even if I am a white crow, I can't guarantee that I can kill him."

Ye Chen lowered his head again at this time, and said indifferently: "I asked you to kill someone for the first time, but you couldn't kill him. What's the use of me accepting you?"

"Actually, the White Crow is a little different from the killers in the Assassination Division of Huaxia Weifu. It is not a simple killer, but a bodyguard, and my strength is very good." Cui Xi said calmly, but there was an unfathomable and profound flavor in his words. , "Subordinates can protect the prince."

"Protect me?" Ye Chen smiled, "I don't think you are qualified to say that."

Cui Xi smiled and said: "This subordinate has this qualification, the prince might as well try."

With Ye Chen's current strength, Cui Xi's daring to say such a sentence shows that he has quite strong confidence in his own level. In fact, Ye Chen has already seen it just now.But Ye Chen still didn't look up, just said softly: "Don't talk big in front of me, a mountain suddenly falls, you can resist the mountain for me."

Knowing that Ye Chen meant something, Cui Xi sighed again, pushed the door out, and disappeared into the night. The white figure was like a white crow, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, sometimes far away in the night snow.

The snow was still falling, and the night was getting darker. Only Ye Chen, Hu Sanguang, and Lian Jicheng were left in the big family school. It always makes people feel that the temperature seems to have dropped a little.

It was quiet.

Ye Chen stretched out his hands to warm the fire, his head was slightly tilted, and he was obviously distracted. He suddenly said: "The sword I slashed at the black crow before went out, but it was emptied. This Xiaoxi is really strong. Unfathomable!"

At that time, Cui Xi seemed to simply block it with his sleeve, but Ye Chen knew the strength of the black crow from the holy temple in the snowy night. The more understated Cui Xi's performance, the more it proved his strength.

"I can't see through him." Ye Chen fiddled with the fish intestine sword in the brazier. "This Xiaoxi is indeed very strong, but he is very tolerant. A ninja must have big plans."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows: "It's not Ren, he doesn't care. Cui Xi's conversation shows that he doesn't care about many things, he doesn't care about my verbal attacks, he doesn't care about my deliberate humiliation. It’s a bit of a hassle if you ask for it.”

What exactly does this Choi Hee want?
This question gradually weighed on Ye Chen's heart, he didn't like this kind of situation where an outsider suddenly ran into the mess.If the person who came didn't have the relationship with Yu Daoxiang, he could directly take it down and control him with Gu insects.But it doesn't work now, not to mention that the opponent's strength is somewhat beyond his imagination.

Lian Jicheng suddenly said: "This Cui Xi's practice is a bit special, a bit like the legendary magic way."

Ye Chen's body trembled, his eyes sparkled, he made some speculations, but he still couldn't figure it out.

There are still many things he can't figure out, but after the past year of contact, he knows Lian Jicheng's character, and he will not speak in front of him easily, but as long as he speaks, he will never make a mistake, so he believes in Lian Jicheng Judging by his own judgment, Old Demon Yu's grandson is indeed mysterious and powerful.

He sighed meaningfully, and said, "Let's talk about it after he kills that Mr. Chen in Prince Jin's mansion!"

Hu Sanguang said: "My lord, just now Cui Xi said that Yufeng was going to retaliate against my lord, and my subordinates think we should be more careful."

"How far is the black knight from us?"

"The distance between the front and the back is five miles."

"The black and white crows in the temple are still a bit good, so just don't let strangers touch the convoy at will."

"Yes! Your lord."

On the second day, the convoy followed the north of Chuzhou, took the official road, and headed towards Kyoto. Because of what happened last night, the guard work of the entire convoy became more rigorous. A businessman walking in the snow, hiding in the dark and watching all suspicious figures.

Ye Chen issued another order, and the one hundred black riders who had been protecting the front and rear of the convoy from a distance also drew closer to the convoy, and the sound of hoofbeats could be heard faintly, in order to ensure safety.

Hu Sanguang was ordered to leave the convoy.

And along the way, there are always some characters with a bit of Jianghu atmosphere in the teahouse, in the restaurant, in the inn, and outside the post station, watching the train.

The spies and killers of Huaxia Weifu were a little vigilant. After reporting to Ye Chen, Ye Chen just nodded slightly, without any big reaction.He knew that this was because after the disaster in Hebei, which had the largest number of Jianghu figures in the Great Song Dynasty, many local Jianghu figures came south to the Central Plains and Jianghuai regions.

When he was about to leave Chuzhou, Hu Sanguang came back.

"What did you find?" Ye Chen rubbed his brows and asked.The Huaxia Weifu's intelligence network spreads all over the world. Except for the elite spies of the Intelligence Department, if you want to investigate people in the market, it is still not as good as the local gangs and beggars as the main peripheral forces of the Intelligence Department. The Zhimin gang, and the beggars that no one pays attention to but exist everywhere, no matter which inn picks up what guests, where the car dealer picks up who, and who walks on that road, they can find out everything. Chu.
