One day later, Jin Wushu's illness had improved greatly. He was a martial artist and was impatient to lie on his bed all day. In addition, he was even more irritable when Hua Rong was not seen all day long, so he immediately got up and wandered around.
As soon as he left the house, he saw a plainclothes guard hurried in, looking uneasy: "Inform the fourth prince, the Wolf Lord has ordered the eldest prince to be the prime minister of the country, and Lord Gu Shen to be the deputy prime minister..."
"really?"
"I just got the news today. Originally, Lord Wolf wanted the eldest prince to send the envoys from the Song Dynasty to Beijing for negotiations. However, the eldest prince said that he was not in good health and would go to Beijing to thank the envoys from the Song Dynasty in the autumn. He said that he could Dispose of it yourself.”
Jin Wushu was shocked. Zong Han was appointed as the prime minister so suddenly. It was obvious that the Wolf Lord had encountered a huge threat from him and had to be comforted in this way. However, he refused to go to Beijing for the appointment, and he was more self-respecting.
"What's the news from the Sixth Prince?"
"I haven't received any news yet."
"Okay, keep a close eye on me and don't make a careless move."
"The original troops are still stationed in the west of the city, and have been dispersed according to your deployment."
Jin Wushu thought for a while and then said: "Select two of them immediately and then go to Beijing. Don't let anyone discover their whereabouts."
"yes."
As soon as the guards left, Jin Wushu looked up at the western sky. The sun was setting and his palms were sweaty. He didn't know whether it was from heat or cold sweat.
Dusk falls.
Hua Rong wandered outside for a while and walked along the entire stone slab into the garden. The fourth prince's residence was the former mansion of a minister of the Liao Kingdom. The level of civilization in the Liao Kingdom was slightly higher, and its civil and military affairs were greatly influenced by the Song Dynasty. Both the architectural style and direction are full of Southern Dynasty color.
This garden is even more unique. It is a natural mountain forest, with flowers blooming all year round and various wild animals running around. It has a very natural feel.
As soon as Hua Rong walked back to a wide grassland, she heard the laughter of a child. She was very curious, could he be Jin Wushu's son
She strolled over and saw a four or five-year-old child running and laughing in the garden, chasing a little elk that he had raised. When he got closer, he reached out to grab the beautiful antlers on the little deer's head, but he couldn't, and so on. Several times, I was so anxious that I sat on the ground and burst into tears. The child had big eyes, long eyelashes, pink makeup, and was as chubby as a face-faced child.
When the maids saw her coming, they saluted together. One of them turned out to be Princess Tianwei, and the middle-aged woman next to her who looked like a wet nurse spoke in Chinese.
She was very surprised. She really didn't expect that Tianwei was still at Jin Wushu's residence.
At this time, the child had stood up, stopped crying, and ran to Tianwei. Tianwei hugged him lovingly and said softly: "Be good, wait until I catch the deer for you..."
Hua Rong was shocked, could this be Tianwei's son? But how could Tianwei have such an old son
Seeing her surprise, Tianwei was about to speak, but the child in her arms struggled to run forward: "Daddy, daddy..."
Hua Rong suddenly turned around and saw that Jin Wushu had walked out at some point. He reached out and hugged the child, and said in a very affectionate tone: "Wenlong, are you naughty again?"
"Dad, my kid wants a moose, please hurry up and catch the fawn, okay?"
"Okay, okay..."
The child actually speaks Chinese and is very fluent. It is obviously because Tianwei and the wet nurse taught him. This child seems to be deeply loved by Jin Wushu, but Tianwei is waiting to take care of him. Who is he
Jin Wushu picked him up with one hand, strode over, caught up with a young elk in a few seconds, held it firmly, and said with a smile: "Did you catch it now?"
When he spoke like this, a gentle look appeared on his face, completely like a kind father, and he was no longer a fighting general.
The child stretched out his hand and just grabbed the antlers. The deer struggled and ran away screaming. The child clapped his hands happily and laughed.
"Daddy, daddy, I want antlers..."
"The deer will die without its horns. Be good, my dear. When you grow up, you can hunt deer by yourself..."
"Dad, how can I hunt antlers?"
"Abba will teach you..."
Hua Rong was even more surprised when he saw the exchange between father and son, but Jin Wushu had already returned with the child in his arms, walked up to Hua Rong, and shook the child's hand: "Hua Rong, do you recognize this child?"
Hua Rong took a closer look and realized that this child had no resemblance to Jin Wushu.
"Who is this child?"
Jin Wushu saw the softness in her eyes and happily patted the child's hand: "Hua Rong, do you like him?"
Hua Rong just met this child for the first time. She saw that Yuxue was cute. It was originally out of female nature, and it was not possible to say whether she liked him or not. But when she saw Jin Wushu's eager eyes, he immediately took a step back and no longer greeted the child enthusiastically. Child.
Jin Wushu's eyes showed disappointment, and he handed the child to a servant next to him. With a wave of his hand, everyone left.
Seeing that Hua Rong's eyes were still following the child, he slowly said: "This child's name is Lu Wenlong, and he is Lu Deng's son..."
Hua Rong was shocked. Lu Deng and his wife defended the city. After the city was destroyed, they both committed suicide, especially his wife. After she committed suicide and died as husband, she was buried generously by Jin Wushu in recognition of her steadfastness. This incident was widely spread among villagers near and far. , she had heard about it, but she didn't know that the son of Lu Deng and his wife was brought to Daijin and raised by Jin Wushu.
"After the city was destroyed, I saw that Lu Deng's corpse was still standing, even when I knelt down and worshiped him, he didn't fall until I promised to raise his son alive. Therefore, I brought this child to the Kingdom of Jin and did not change his surname. He will continue to live in his family... When he grows up, he can choose whether to stay in the Jin Dynasty or return to the Song Dynasty... "
For a moment, Hua Rong stared at him and felt that human nature is really a wonderful thing. It is not simply divided into two, and there is no complete absolute. Who can clearly distinguish between good and bad
If it weren't for the Song-Jin war, who could say that Jin Wushu wasn't an upright man
She was confused and didn't know how to answer.
"The loyalty of Lu Deng and his wife is admirable, especially his wife. There is a Chinese saying that husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When the time comes, they will fly separately. If a man can have a woman like Mrs. Lu to accompany him in life and death in his life, You have lived your life in vain. Although I have many concubines in my mansion, I don’t think there is any woman who understands each other like this, Hua Rong... "
Jin Wushu's words were interrupted by a burst of violent noise. Jin Wushu's expression changed and he shouted: "Who dares to break into the noise..."
A guard quickly reported back: "Fourth Prince, it's not good, the eldest prince sent an army to surround the Fourth Prince's Mansion..."
Immediately, there was a dull banging sound, and a flood of soldiers had already started fighting with the guards of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Jin Wushu strode out, and Hua Rong subconsciously held the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed out. When he arrived at the door, After thinking, he quietly jumped up a big tree and hid it.
At the gate, a group of soldiers had already rushed in. Wu Qimai and his people were resisting. Dozens of guards had fallen to the ground. Jin Wushu raised Fangtian Huaji, and as soon as several soldiers rushed up, they were He swept away with his halberd and retreated. Everyone knew how brave he was and for a moment they did not dare to approach again. Jin Wushu shouted: "What are you doing?"
"Fourth Prince, the eldest prince wants to destroy us..."
Outside the door, there were more and more soldiers. During the melee, a burst of laughter could be heard: "Wushu, just surrender and capture him..."
At the door, Zong Han walked in in full military uniform, with the mace he carried around his waist.
Jin Wushu rushed up and said loudly: "Prince, what are you doing?"
At this time, the soldiers in black were already on both sides. Zong Han glanced at him coldly, with a very arrogant expression: "Wushu, you see clearly, if you continue to resist, you are rebelling... Put down your weapons and order all your subordinates to do so." lay down your weapon!"
Jin Wushu took a look and saw that each of these black-clad soldiers had a red silk on their shoulders. They were the Wolf Lord's independent escort team. His heart sank when he heard Zong Han say loudly: "Wushu, you are suspected of having an affair." People of the Song Dynasty, I, the prince, have been ordered by Lord Wolf to revoke your military power..."
Jin Wushu said angrily: "Why do you slander others?"
"Wu Shu, if people don't know it, you have to do it yourself. The first thing you do is to adopt Han people's cubs, and the second thing is to protect Han women. Who doesn't know that you are ambitious and harbor evil intentions? What about that woman? Hand it over quickly..."
Jin Wushu said in a deep voice: "I don't have many men here!"
"Wushu, who are you lying to? Who in the upper and lower circles of Jin Dynasty doesn't know that Han woman is hiding in your mansion?" He looked at the scars on Jin Wushu's face that had not yet healed and laughed, "Wushu, you are really capable. , raised a tigress, and the family still treats it as a treasure... "
Jin Wushu waved his hand, and a group of guards lined up from behind.
Zong Han stared at him eagerly: "You dare to disobey me? Hand over Hua Rong immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Zong Han, don't push yourself too far!"
"Wushu, do you still dare to disobey me?"
Jin Wushu sneered: "Are you going to destroy my fourth prince's house today?"
Zong Han laughed and took out a token: "Wushu, you see clearly, this is the Wolf Lord's order, do you dare to disrespect it?" Seeing that Jin Wushu was indifferent, he looked for it in the crowd again, but Han Chang and others were nowhere to be seen. People immediately understood that Wushu was cunning, and the elites were all outside. Sure enough, there was only a sound of fighting outside, and a soldier ran up: "Prince, the Fourth Prince's gang was found outside..."
Seeing that the two armies were about to start a melee, a counselor whispered something in Zong Han's ear. Zong Han did not dare to stay any longer. He waved his hand holding the token with a very proud expression, "Wushu, this prince is Acting on the orders of the Wolf Lord. From now on, you are not allowed to give orders, and you are not allowed to step out of the fourth prince's house again... "
Jin Wushu watched him walk away, and then looked at the disarmed guards in the house, and immediately understood that Zong Han was taking risks to strike first, but the token in his hand was genuine, and The soldiers in black are also genuine.
As soon as Zong Han and others left, the fourth prince's mansion was in panic. Han Chang and other advisers immediately gathered: "Fourth prince, what should we do next?"
"We'll make plans after the sixth prince comes back."
"Fourth Prince, it's better to strike first."
"No, the eldest prince is acting like an imperial edict. If we act, we will immediately give him an excuse..."
"Han Chang, you should follow the plan and station the troops three miles away, ready for action at any time!"
"yes."
…
After all the advisers dispersed, Hua Rong walked out from the shadow of the trees. It turned out that the situation in the Jin Kingdom was more complicated than he imagined. Once Zong Wang died, Zong Han no longer had any scruples. What would happen with those Song prisoners? manage? In the past, he relied on Jin Wushu to rescue Zhang Xian and others. Now, how can he still hope that he can rescue Zhang Xian and others
