On this day, Jin Wushu's mansion was extremely lively.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the conflict with Zong Han, who holds military power, has become more and more serious. Jin Wushu, Zong Wang and others are in a wait-and-see stage. In order to win over him, the new emperor sent him a large number of gifts on the eve of his engagement.
Among the congratulatory gifts was a gold-lined garment for women, which was also plundered from the Song Dynasty.
Wang Junhua led a group of maids to decorate with lights and colorful decorations. Finally, he took a brand new horse costume and went in to find Jin Wushu, which he wanted to wear on the "She Liu Festival".
As soon as he put it on, he heard Zong Wang's visit. Jin Wushu hurried out to greet him. Zong Wang saw that he was wearing a brand new horse costume, which looked so majestic. He praised loudly: "Fourth brother, you really look like a groom." .congratulations… "
Jin Wushu said a few polite words, and the two sat down. Zong Wang said: "This time the Willow Shooting Festival, the Wolf Lord will be in charge personally, so you have to perform well."
"That's natural."
Zong Wang suddenly lowered his voice: "Lord Wolf is actually in very poor health. He just contracted a strange disease a few days ago..."
The current Wolf Lord and the old Wolf Lord are brothers. Although he succeeded to the throne in the age of tiger and wolf, he suffered from injuries due to years of fighting. He contracted a cold a few days ago and suffered from a strange "heartache" disease.
He had not long since ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. He was afraid that outsiders would find out, so he kept it secret and only summoned famous doctors among his confidants, but to no avail.
Jin Wushu knew what Zong Wang meant and was afraid that Zong Han would take the opportunity to cause trouble this time. He suddenly said: "Actually, we might as well strike first and capture Zong Han..."
"No. Zong Han now has Gu Shen and other major generals on his side, and besides being arrogant, he has no other charges of treason. The Wolf Lord's intention is also to worry about the dissatisfaction of the tribes. This time at the 'Shooting Willow Festival', He intends to give us a showdown, you must dampen his spirit..."
Zong Han also had many strong generals under his command, and it was not easy to defeat him. Jin Wushu frowned, and Zong Wang asked, "How are you preparing for your engagement?"
"What is there to prepare for? Just marry me."
Seeing his nonchalant look, Zong Wang suddenly remembered the Song girl he had been infatuated with. He was about to ask, but then he remembered that Jin Wushu had been in a bad mood after returning from his tragic defeat at sea, so he stopped asking and stood up to leave.
As soon as Zong Wang left, he heard Wu Qimai coming back and immediately spread the news about Wu Qimai.
Wu Qimai briefly recounted the situation of Yu Wenxuzhong and others. Jin Wushu couldn't help but let out a long sigh after hearing that he didn't have any useful information.
Recently, I have always had a strange feeling in my heart, holding on to an unrealistic fantasy, always wanting to find some clue about "her" in this missionary group.
In fact, how could she have anything to do with the envoys
He was still unwilling to give in: "It's just these people and there are no others?"
"There are only three followers that I have never seen before, so it won't be a big deal."
Three followers? There are no women in this trip? If there is no woman, she is naturally not among them.
"Well, that's it. Just pay close attention to the movements of the eldest prince."
"yes."
Tomorrow is the "Willow Shooting Festival".
The streets and alleys of Yanjing are seeing more and more people, and all the inns and inns are overcrowded. Everyone is chatting and laughing, waiting for tomorrow's large-scale entertainment.
Seeing that there were so many people, Hua Rong stepped up his inspections. Unfortunately, although Yanjing City was not big, it was not easy to find someone at any time. Especially, the Kingdom of Jin kept the whereabouts of the Queen Mother secret and refused to disclose it at all. Give the envoy to Song Dynasty.
On this day, after Hua Rong thought about it for a while, he no longer searched around without a clue, but went out alone to look for it at the local "laundry house" in Yanjing.
Naturally, she had to be careful when going to a place like this. She didn't even take Zhang Xian or the others with her, but only went to "have fun" with the shop owner's nephew Zhahe, who was also an active Jinjun.
Zhahe had served in the Jin army for many years. He was once a pioneer in attacking the Liao Kingdom, but he had never been to the Song Dynasty. Now, he was not allowed to go to the army and was idle at home. He didn't like to herd, so he was doing nothing all day long. He is twenty-seven this year. He is eight years old, tall and strong. Because his parents died young, he was poor and had no money to marry.
The shop owner's wife is a Jurchen, and Zhahe is his wife's nephew, a genuine Jin man. He often goes to his uncle's house to eat and drink. After meeting Hua Rong, Hua Rong pays for food and drinks, and pays him back. He had several gambling debts, so he was very enthusiastic about Hua Rong.
Hua Rong first invited him to drink a pot of wine. Zhahe was drunk and said in a very showy tone: "Brother, you are so generous. I will take you to a good place today..."
Hua Rong asked deliberately: "Where?"
"The laundry in the north of the city has the most princesses and concubines of the Song Dynasty there..."
Hua Rong was delighted: "What beauties are there?"
"Last year, the most famous one was Princess Tianxiang, the most famous beauty of the Song Dynasty, several princesses were in it, and even the Empress Dowager Wei, the biological mother of the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty, was in it, hahaha..."
Hua Rong was shocked, but followed his words: "Oh? Is there such a thing? Isn't the Queen Mother very old? What fun is there?"
"Young MILFs are what they feel like. Besides, it's so exciting to be able to play with the Queen Mother. Who cares if she's too old? Hahaha, when we fuck the Queen Mother, Zhao Deji has to call us 'Daddy'..."
Hua Rong secretly frowned in disgust, these damn Jin soldiers, I really don’t know how much the poor Queen Mother has suffered in the Jin’s brothel.
She pretended not to care: "I'm not interested in old women..."
"It's useless for you to be interested. Now, the Queen Mother is married."
"ah?"
"The Queen Mother is old and beautiful, and she married a distant relative of mine. Hahaha, little brother, you have no chance..."
It really took no effort at all. It turned out that in order to escape the inhumane life in the laundry house, the Queen Mother had to marry a local centurion who had retired from the Jin Army.
Hua Rong thought to himself that it would be easier to get close to Webster. She was about to ask Zhahe to lead the way, but she heard him drunkenly say: "The queen mother can't play, it doesn't matter, there is still a queen. Zhao Deji's queen is still in the laundry room." …”
Her heart sank. She had seen Princess Xing before. After Zhao Deji ascended the throne, he appointed Princess Xing as the queen. However, who would have thought that someone as noble as a "queen" would suffer the heaviest suffering in this foreign land
Zhahe said enthusiastically: "Let's go, little brother, if you are interested today, let's go and have a look..."
This is the first time Hua Rong has seen the "laundry house" of the Jin Kingdom. Its style is exactly like the official brothel of the Song Dynasty, but the environment inside is not as gentle as the pink and pink countryside in Jiangnan. All the people coming in and out are vulgar Jurchen Jinjun, with their arms and legs exposed. A strange sheep smell wafted back and forth from the hairy chest. The women were also wearing rough Jurchen clothes, and each of them looked haggard, and their original delicate appearance was completely lost.
The majority of prostitutes are naturally female prisoners from the Song Kingdom, and others include female prisoners from the perished Liao Kingdom, as well as poor local women from the Jin Kingdom.
At the entrance of a barracks, Hua Rong saw two hairy Jin Jun holding a topless woman in for fun. The woman passed by with her hair in braids. Her face looked very familiar. It was Princess Xing.
Hua Rong did not dare to meet her under such circumstances, and felt very sad. At this time, Zhahe, who was in another barracks, was already satisfied. She whispered: "Don't you get married? Why don't you marry me?" That Queen of Song Dynasty?”
Zhahe laughed loudly: "I am poor and have no money."
"I can give you money."
Zhahe was overjoyed: "Really?"
"really."
"But, I..."
Zhahe was going to say something else. Hua Rong was startled when he saw a group of drunken Jin soldiers coming towards him. The leader was Wu Qimai, Jin Wushu's bodyguard. He was coming out of Princess Xing's tent just now. .Presumably it was because Zhao Deji could not be captured at sea, so he came to "greet" his wife every day after returning.
War is ugly, that's what it is.
Although Hua Rong had disguised himself, he still did not dare to face Wu Qimai and quickly told Zhahe to leave in a low voice.
However, Zhahe recognized Wu Qimai and quickly greeted him: "Hi..."
"Hi… "
Wu Qimai and others often went to the laundry house to have fun. They patted Zha He's shoulder and looked at Hua Rong beside him: "Boy, haven't you lost all your money for drinks? Why are you here again?"
"Haha, it's my little brother who is generous..."
"Oh?" Wu Qimai looked drunkenly at the short man next to him, with a mustache on his lips and a yellow face, like a man suffering from jaundice.
He said contemptuously: "Go away, go away, you guys..."
Zhahe grabbed him by the collar and said, "This little guy is no ordinary guy..."
Wu Qimai was even more contemptuous: "What else is so special about Han'er?"
Zhahe was about to get angry, but Hua Rong was afraid that Wu Qimai would hear him if he made a sound, so he quickly pulled Zhahe and left.
Wu Qimai watched the two of them leave drunkenly, spat, and suddenly said to himself: "No, why does this guy's back look so familiar?"
Because of this shock, Hua Rong did not dare to stay any longer. As soon as she left, he immediately took her to find the Queen Mother.
Zhahe got her money and heard Wu Qimai speak rudely to her. He felt a little ashamed. After hearing her request, he immediately agreed to help her find it.
The two rode out of the north of the city. At this time, it was already afternoon. Zhahe was nagging: "Everyone is busy with the 'Willow Shooting Festival' these days. I don't know if they are at home. Little brother, are you right?" Isn’t the old woman interested?”
"Hahaha, I'm curious too, after all, she is the Queen Mother."
Seeing that Zhahe was still nagging, she handed him another ingot of silver: "This is for you to drink at night. Thank you for your hard work."
When Zhahe saw the large silver ingot, he immediately put it in his arms without asking her.
This is a tent on the northern outskirts of the city. There are many such tents around it. Like all nomadic people, there are cattle and sheep as far as the eye can see. Spring has just begun at this time, the grass is not dense yet, and it looks a bit desolate.
Zhahe ran directly into a tent, took a look, shook his head and ran out, loudly saying: "No one is there."
Hua Rong was very disappointed. Seeing that she was disappointed, Zhahe immediately said, "Should we wait here?"
"Then just wait."
However, the two waited for almost half an hour, but there was no sign of anyone. Seeing that it was getting late and there were other things to do in the post house, Hua Rong said to Zhahe, "Let's come back tomorrow."
"also."
The two returned the same way, but Hua Rong actually had other plans. Now that he had found the Queen Mother's residence, regardless of whether she was the real Queen Mother or not, if she was the real Queen Mother, she would have to act alone and could no longer be with Zhahe.
Her heart moved and she suddenly said: "Zhahe, please don't mention what happened today to anyone."
Zaheqi asked: "Why?"
"I am Han'er, and the Queen Mother is Han after all. If people know that I am curious about her, they will laugh at me..."
At that time, the lower classes of the Jin people were generally uneducated and very simple and rough, especially Zhahe. Hearing what Hua Rong said made sense, he nodded immediately: "Okay, I will never tell anyone."
Seeing that Hua Rong was still a little worried, he stretched out his hand and gave her a slap in the face according to the etiquette of a golden person: "Little brother, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Hua Rong breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a high-five.
The moment she retracted her palm, Zhahe saw that her hand was soft and white, and it felt strange to touch his own hand. He looked at her yellow face, and then at her white hand, I was so strange and couldn't explain what it felt like. I just stared at Hua Rong's hands: "Hahaha, your hands... little brother, your hands look like women's hands..."
Hua Rong's heart trembled, fearing that he would see through her identity and snort.
Seeing that she was displeased, Zhahe didn't dare to say anything more and patted his head suddenly: "Brother, I'm joking, don't mind."
She said it was okay as if nothing had happened. Zhahe did not dare to ask any more questions and said, "Don't worry, little brother, I will never tell anyone that you are interested in the Queen Mother..."
Hua Rong saw that he was honest and honest, and knew that he had never seen through her identity. But Zhahe seemed to be afraid of offending her, and kept telling her about the centurion's situation along the way. When he was about to return to the inn, Hua Rong The three generations of this centurion's ancestors have been clearly understood.
