Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 509 Misty Rain Misty ([-])

Then Zhali came up to meet him, saluted Li Wenxuan, and said, "Thank you for your help, Zhali is very grateful."

Li Wenxuan smiled lightly, and said: "It's nothing, it's a small matter, don't worry about it." The relationship between Li Wenxuan and Zali is very delicate now, they may be enemies, they may be in peace, or they may be a temporary ally, but yes It belongs to the kind of indifferent, Li Wenxuan can't be too cold to him, and he can't be too warm to him. After all, there are things in the past, and it is absolutely impossible to become friends.

Zali then told Li Wenxuan about Princess Yilan's decision to take a break at Kelei tonight. Li Wenxuan naturally nodded to what Princess Yilan had promised, but Zali understood in his heart that if Li Wenxuan Let's say no now, I'm afraid the princess will change her mind immediately, and she is still willing, because Li Wenxuan is obviously the backbone of these people.

The rest of the matter was simple. Not long after, Zali's troops wiped out all the remaining troops on Yetai like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and even captured many people alive. The news about Yetai, even when the attack just came, those arrangements were handed down by Yetai. It can be seen that he was extremely careful in his work, and he couldn't find Yetai. For Zali, who searched hard for wild platforms but found nothing, this is still an excellent result.

At the same time, Li Wenxuan and Mu Chuan glanced at each other, both sighed, thinking that Ye Taifan was so careful, he was probably exhausted and exhausted, and he really didn't know what he was planning.

Later, Zali asked people to prepare a resting place for Princess Yilan and her party. Although time was tight, Zali followed Neng and prepared the best accommodation for Princess Yilan and others, but he did his best.And because they were worried that the people in Yetai would not be willing to fail and return, they specially deployed [-] soldiers around Princess Luanjia just in case. In addition, there were [-] cavalry in the center of the tribe. Fearing that Li Wenxuan and others would misunderstand, they still insisted on letting Xiao Yezi stay with Princess Yilan. The verbal purpose was naturally to be a hostage, but only Xiao Yezi and Zali knew what it was for.

After everyone rested, Zali was also very thoughtful. He sent [-] high-quality war horses one after another, and many grains and food needed for the journey. In addition, there were naturally some gifts from his daughter's family that were specially prepared for Princess Yilan. The clothes and things needed, but these were sent by Xiao Yezi in person, Princess Yilan didn't show politeness to them, and accepted all the orders, because a dignified princess can't go back to Beijing in this set of clothes. The Ministry of Lie doesn't have any decent market, so besides asking Zali to deliver these things, it's really troublesome for them to buy them themselves.

But then something happened that gave Li Wenxuan a headache, that is, the leaders of various tribes came to visit with presents, saying that they wanted to scare Princess Yilan.Because there were too many people, it was not easy for Zali to stop them, otherwise it would be a shame for everyone, so he had to pass the news to Li Wenxuan, and then opened the door to let them go.

Naturally, Princess Yilan can't meet guests casually, so Li Wenxuan has to do all of this, but Li Wenxuan really doesn't like these things. After seeing them, it would be very awkward to be very intimate in a blink of an eye.And what those people said was nothing more than wishing the Dajin Kingdom forever and ever, and some even wished the Dajin Kingdom would win the Southern Song Dynasty as soon as possible and rule the country. In the end, Li Wenxuan couldn't take it anymore when he saw two people, so he transferred all these things to Mu Chuan. Unexpectedly, Mu Chuan is a good hand, and he can chat with these tribal leaders very happily, which can be regarded as The mission was fulfilled.

It was only at night that it became quiet, and the most deserted place tonight was Li Wenxuan's tent, why?Because only Princess Yilan and Li Wenxuan's tents are alone here, and the others are at least two people living together. This arrangement was originally excellent, but when Princess Yilan came back, Mingzhu clearly proved that she would go to accompany the princess , so Li Wenxuan could only be wronged to keep the vacant room alone.

But as soon as Li Wenxuan lay down, he heard Mu Chuan whisper outside: "Wenxuan, have you slept yet?"

Li Wenxuan didn't know what Mu Chuan came to him for, but he quickly invited him in, but Mu Chuan gave Li Wenxuan a gift list with a smile, and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, you've made a fortune."

"Get rich?" Li Wenxuan was taken aback, took the gift list and scanned it, didn't he, there were many things densely recorded on it, mink fur, leopard skin, deer antler, ginseng, cordyceps, etc. were all good things, and not just one or two One catty and two catties are directly packed in full boxes. After a rough calculation, there are more than 20 large boxes. Whether these things are shipped to the Central Plains or to Shanghai, you can find a store to sell them. Even though Li Wenxuan is not proficient in this field, he knows that it is worth a lot of money.Asked: "These are the leaders who gave the princess? How can I get rich?"

Mu Chuan smiled, and said: "Of course the princess has it. I have already sorted things out, and I have given the gift list to Miss Mingzhu, and asked her to forward it to the princess. As for the things on the gift list, here are But they are dedicated to honoring you."

Seeing that Li Wenxuan was puzzled, Mu Chuan immediately added: "You really frightened them today. These people on the grassland are indeed brave, and they are not afraid of death in battle, but they are ordinary people. As for these people After being the leader for a long time, the bloodiness of the past has almost been obliterated, and the courage is not much. These people usually have private ties with Yetai, or are related to Zali, who are close to the east. Some tribes have always been closer to the Kingdom of Jin, but no matter which side they are on, everyone knows that the two brothers of the Kret tribe have completely offended the Kingdom of Jin. The troops will come to settle accounts. They are showing us their favor now, and they hope that if a war really breaks out between the two sides, they can be let go and not involved. After all, the total number of people in many tribes is only a few thousand people. However, this tribe may be about to be exterminated, plus you killed the Quartet in front of them today, making them terrified, and the princess said in public that you are a friend of the emperor of Jin, this will give you even more face , so the presents they prepared for you are not at all lighter than those for the princess, and didn’t you kill their two leaders today? Guess how this matter ended in the end?”

It wasn't Mu Chuan who mentioned it, but Li Wenxuan almost forgot about the two people he killed. In fact, Li Wenxuan didn't want to kill them at the time, but not killing them was not enough to deter people, so he could only blame them for being unlucky, so he asked : "Their clansmen should hate me very much, right?"

Mu Chuan smiled and said: "Wrong, there is no such thing at all. A few old fellows revealed to me that the two tribes were caught in the chaos of fighting for the position because the leader was killed, but It was calmed down by the Lianghe pressure of several other tribes, and finally failed to make trouble, and those tribes supported people who had better personal relationships with them to succeed them as leaders. It is too late for these two new leaders to thank you , not to mention revenge, she also gave a gift today, and it was a generous gift, she pointed to the gift list."

In fact, Mu Chuan’s gift list is not complete, because he had to return some things, that is, the beauties sent to Li Wenxuan by some tribes. Mu Chuan knew Li Wenxuan quite well, and Li Wenxuan would never accept it, and If Mingzhu knew about this matter, there would inevitably be misunderstandings, so he returned all those beauties on his own initiative, and those who came to give gifts were all discerning people, and after a little guesswork, everyone understood the general idea, but everyone Smiled, tacit understanding nothing more.

Li Wenxuan took this gift list and looked at it. He really didn't expect to get such a big windfall by accident, but he didn't pay much attention to money. With his current skills, if he was short of money at any time, he could pick whatever he wanted. One or two rich and unkind rich households would go in and borrow some to go out as envoys, or visit the houses of some corrupt officials, and the harvest would not be small, so it doesn't matter how much money they have.

After thinking for a while, Li Wenxuan called Wugu, Hu San, and the short fat man in. It happened that these guys were not asleep, so they handed the gift list to Wugu and said, "All these things will be handed over to you for the time being." Here you go, after you return to Shangjing, you can find a proper merchant to sell these things, and then distribute them to everyone according to the roster before our march, because I will leave Shangjing in the future, so I can only ask you You, for the families of the soldiers who died in battle, you just watch over them and give as much as you can, and if you usually take care of them, it’s best to take care of them so that they won’t be bullied.”

Wogu felt hot in his heart, and held the gift list and said: "General, you don't have to do this. The army already has pensions for these fallen soldiers, enough for their families to spend half their lives. These things are actually your own. How can you let them go?" You paid for it yourself?"

Li Wenxuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, just do as you want, and the money is useless to me, by the way, you pick two more boxes to empty out, Brother Mu, Hu San, since the two of you want to leave here Now, I can’t keep my sleeves open. One of the boxes should be divided between the two of you. When you arrive in Shangjing, you should still have a lot left to buy a real estate. In addition..." Li Wenxuan looked at the fat man who had been distracted, and shouted Said: "Hey! Fatty!"

"Ah..." Fatty came back to his senses, and sucked in his mouth, as if sucking saliva, and everyone laughed.

Li Wenxuan said: "Later, I will give you a box of things from Rangwogu. You should share it with those brothers under your command. Although we haven't known each other for long, you have worked hard these two days. These are all yours. Deserved."

If the contents of each of these boxes were sold in Shangjing, the market price would be around 2000 taels. Li Wenxuan directly gave that much to Humpty, even if Humpty swallowed it all by himself, no one cared about him. Hu San was envious looking at it. , and immediately joked: "Short fat man, you are rich, but unfortunately there is no place to drink here, otherwise everyone will make you bleed!"

However, unexpectedly, Humpty Humpty shook his head and said, "I don't want this anymore. I have already sent half of my subordinates back."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Hu San asked first.

"I... I'll go with you, will it work? I don't plan to go back to our tribe!" Humpty said, everyone was taken aback.

Li Wenxuan asked: "Why are you doing this? Brother Mu and Hu San have nowhere to go, and going to Beijing is a helpless move, but you..."

Humpty Humpty sighed, looking a little depressed, this was the first time he showed such a look in front of everyone, and said: "You may think that I am a bit stupid, but in fact I am not stupid. I understand many things in my heart, but I am too lazy Said, if I have the time, why don't I drink and see the girl...cough cough." The short fat man felt that something was wrong, so he stopped immediately and changed his words: "I understand what happened this time, our patriarch's The old guy asked me to bring my brothers here to help Yetai. In fact, he asked me to bring them to die. To kill Zali, we were either killed by Zali's guards, or we were treated as a The assassin killed him to avenge Zali. Anyway, he was dead anyway. Now I follow you, and no one helped them. I'm working hard for him, but it's a pleasure, our patriarch must not be able to tolerate me, I will die when I go back, if you want to see me die like a fat man, then you can send me back, or you can just give me a knife , You act quickly, I don't think it will hurt much."

How could Li Wenxuan refuse the Humpty Man's words?However, considering the many evil deeds of the short fat man when we first met, Li Wenxuan really didn't dare to talk too much for a while, so he said: "In this case, you can go with Mu Chuan and the others. You and Mingzhu are going to Jiangnan soon, but don't worry, Mingzhu should make proper arrangements for you before we leave, but you have to promise me that you will never molested and bullied women in the future, otherwise not only will I not forgive you, even if If Mingzhu and I don't go to Beijing anymore, there will be others watching you."

The short fat man thought for a while, and seemed to have something else to say, but when he saw Mu Chuan shaking his head slightly at him, he held back first, and said with a hey smile: "Don't worry, I promise, if I do it again, just beat me up , but... in the future, if you can help me talk about a daughter-in-law, I have someone in my heart, and I have a family and a house, then I will be more at ease, and naturally I will not mess with women!"

Li Wenxuan felt his head dizzy. He felt that Jiangshan Yichang was really stupid. He felt angry for a while, and now he wanted to beat him up. It turned out that this guy was still thinking about finding a wife for him. He said in a somewhat joking tone: " Then you can stay here, when you find a wife, come to Beijing to find us."

The short fat man curled his lips and said: "Forget it, forget it, I thought about it, it's better to be naked alone, women are troublesome." Everyone laughed again.

They were all old men, and it would be boring to go to bed early at night, so Hu San brought some wine bags, and everyone chatted while drinking, each talking about their future plans. These people all objected unanimously. Wugu even said that even if he was willing to see Li Wenxuan return to Yue Fei's tent to join the army and fight against him on the battlefield, he didn't want to see Li Wenxuan retreat, because Li Wenxuan was so skilled in martial arts. It's a pity to retire at a young age, and Li Wenxuan's reputation is very high now. He has long established a heroic life in the world, and his martial arts accomplishments are rare at a young age. To the south, Li Wenxuan has Marshal Yue, the prospective father-in-law who is the pillar of the sky. To the north, it is even more remarkable. The Kingdom of Jin had already inadvertently put his name out there, and everyone knew that the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin wanted to keep him, and he and Jin Wushu were able to become in-laws. Princess Lan's eyes on Li Wenxuan are also a little strange recently. If these advantages were placed on ordinary people, I'm afraid they would be too happy to leave. How could they think of the word "recluse"?
It is rumored that after the hunt in Akita, some courtiers at the court suggested to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom that Li Wenxuan should be named General Xuanwu from the fifth rank, but the emperor shook his head and sighed, and waved his hand to deny it on the spot. All the courtiers felt that it was only natural to appoint Li Wenxuan Yes, and this official position is quite appropriate. Although there is a suspicion of leapfrogging, but Li Wenxuan has saved him twice and captured the rebels. He should be rewarded out of the ordinary. Everyone was puzzled, so they asked the emperor why he refused. The emperor replied But it surprised these courtiers.The general idea is that Li Wenxuan has no intention of being an official in the Kingdom of Jin, and he will return to Jiangnan in the future. If he is forced to send an imperial edict to become an official, I am afraid it will make him unhappy.

These words made the courtiers speechless for a while, don't talk about the emperor's reward, even if you order to cut off your head, you have to thank God, that's good, he is still unhappy when he is appointed an official by a mere grassroots?Then some people said that since Li Wenxuan had the heart of disobedience, he couldn't stay. It is better to find an excuse to kill him. If the emperor can't bear it, he can be locked in prison to avoid future troubles.

As soon as this remark came out, the emperor immediately became furious, scolded the man, and then issued an imperial decree, rewarding Li Wenxuan with a lot of gold, silver and jewels.Afterwards, this matter became a topic of discussion among the courtiers. Some said that the emperor was too young to understand the art of controlling people. It was the face of the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom.

After Mu Chuan, Hu San, and Humpty Humpty persuaded for a while, they gave each other a wink, as if they had reached an agreement, they kept their mouths shut for the time being, and only Wugu was left to persuade them non-stop with the strength of alcohol.

In fact, why does Li Wenxuan want to do this? He just thought that after he returned to Jiangnan, because of his Jin Guo party and Mingzhu's sensitive identity, it doesn't mean that he can settle down if he wants to be stable. It also contained a bit of helplessness.

Afterwards, Li Wenxuan brought up the topic, and everyone continued to drink, but a delicate voice sounded from the tent: "Li...Brother Li, are you there?"
