Chapter 35 Ruixue Zhaofeng Year (168/473)
The night fell quietly on the shore of Xizi Lake. A fine snow that came late fell on the stone arch bridge. The lights of the boats in the lake lit up, and the world seemed to be quiet in the beautiful snow scene.
"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest..."
The Jade Emperor Mountain Palace was as bright as day. King Song Siming of Wu was wearing a python robe and sat on a chair to look at the vast world in front of him, but there was no joy in his eyes. After a while of silence, he sighed faintly:
"It's just this winter, it's hard to get through."
As a vassal king who is in charge of Jiangnan, Song Siming knows the current situation in Jiangnan more than anyone else. The major cities are rich and the smell of wine and meat, and the roads are frozen to death. It is naturally true that the richest people in the world are all true, but 90% of the money is in the hands of major families, and the money cannot be eaten as food. The unfulfilled Taotie in Chang'an would not understand how he, the "Qingyi Prince", was a leisurely method.
The guard stood outside the attic, with only a few people on the observation deck. The staff member Han Xianchu stood behind the King of Wu, with a little worried expression on his face, hesitated a little, and hesitated, and hesitated and persuaded:
"Prince, it's cold and cold, just pay attention to your health, go in."
Song Siming was the oldest among the Seven Kings, almost 60 years old. He was in danger on the river and his body was always weak. However, there was no abnormality on his thin cheeks due to the severe cold. He looked at a middle-aged scholar next to him:
"Hansheng, the right time, place and people are harmonious, and it seems that there is only one person. Even if the weather is colder, even if I do nothing, I will be wrapped up in the general situation."
Li Hansheng, standing by the guardrail, was like when he was staying in a Sun's shop. He had a tall and handsome face, but there was a bit of vicissitudes and a hint of undetectable coldness between his eyebrows. He was no longer the stupid scholar who had been waiting for a few days for a ingot of silver.
Since the bandit camp in Shu was wiped out, Li Han gave birth to his wife and died in his daughter, and became a lonely ghost wandering in the world. Perhaps it was the old saying that "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this man." After experiencing the most sad thing in the world, Li Hansheng seemed to suddenly wake up and completely become a different person.
In just ten years, he went from a down-and-out scholar who couldn't bear to kill chickens to the head of the Eagle Tower. His name was at the top of the four heroes in the Investigation Department. He had countless brave men under his command. Even the top heroes of Zhu Liu kept in touch with him openly and secretly.
No one knows where Li Hansheng's appeal comes from. If you really want to find a reason, the most reasonable explanation may be "the best in the world". It seems that this is the only one who can be convinced by the people in the martial arts world.
However, Li Hansheng is very mysterious. There are no rumors about Li Hansheng fighting with others in the world, and there is not even an official portrait.
In the court's exaggeration, Li Hansheng was a wanted criminal with a name for the sky, and had all the rhetoric of mood, cannibalism, and other words. But to reach this point, Li Hansheng obviously would not be a crazy man with a problem.
Hearing the words of King Wu, Li Hansheng turned his head and was as polite as when he went to Beijing to take the exam:
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. You can't hide what you should come. All you can do is wait for the time being."
Song Siming sighed and thought for a moment: "I have not figured out how the boat on the river is sinking. The most ruthless imperial family. Sometimes when you are the king and prince, you are far less free than you are the people in the martial arts world..."
Li Hansheng chuckled, but no response.
While chatting, footsteps sounded outside the attic.
The guard opened the door, and Wang Zouyin, the head of the Wang family in Hangzhou, walked in, holding a letter in his hand.
Li Hansheng stood in the dark and looked at Xizihu in a blink of an eye, only seeing a figure on his back.
Wang Zouyin quickly walked to the King of Wu, handed the letter out, and said softly:
"The dog looked at the wind, and Xu Buling seemed to be holding a jade piece for other purposes. I'm afraid he wouldn't give it to the prince during the birthday party."
The King of Wu took the envelope, opened it and looked at it for a few times, pondered for a while, shook his head and said:
"What's the use of him, a son of a vassal king, holding a few small objects searched by the people of the Jianghu? Alas..."
Han Xianchu frowned and thought for a while, bowed and said, "Can Xu Buling discover the use of jade?"
Wang Zouyin shook his head: "It must not be. If the purpose is discovered, the Su lineage will inevitably hide news, or if the jade artifact is sent directly to Chang'an, it is impossible to bring Jiangnan with great fanfare."
Han Xianchu thought about it, the things he found for four jade artifacts were too hot. If Xu Buling knew the inside story, with the current situation, he would probably want to throw them to the King of Wu to clear the relationship.
King Wu looked at the letter carefully and looked at Li Hansheng in a blink of an eye:
"Xu Buling said that he could watch and enjoy this king. If he just took a look, can he find clues?"
Under the dark eaves, Li Hansheng was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"I can't be sure, I have to see it."
Wang Zouyin pressed all the chips of the Wang family in Hangzhou on the King of Wu, and he could not lose anything. He frowned and said:
"To ensure that everything is foolproof, I still have to find a way to bring the jade. According to the description of the dog, I don't know where to put the jade pendant on Xu Buling's head. Since I can be appreciated by the prince, I must be with me. Can I find someone who is more capable and take it out secretly..."
While speaking, Wang Zouyin turned his gaze to Li Hansheng standing in the dark, and his meaning was self-evident.
When the strategist Han Xianchu heard this, he shook his head gently: "The prince is not a man from the martial arts world and does not understand the weight of 'contemporary Qingkui'. There is no such thing as the person in the world who can take hairpins from Xu Buling's head silently. There will inevitably be disputes. Those who can beat Qingkui..."
Han Xianchu's eyes also turned to Li Hansheng - the only one who can beat Qing Kui is the master of the Ten Martial Arts level.
Faced with this proposal, Li Hansheng directly refused:
"The Su lineage can ignore it, but we must not engage in evil. We cannot take action."
The King of Wu nodded slightly. Among the seven kings, the strongest combat power were Su, Chu, and Wei. They could all affect the direction of the general trend and would definitely not make enemies. However, the jade artifacts were not handy, and the planning over the past few years was difficult to unfold. The King of Wu thought about it:
"First Chu, go and get the 'Minghong Sword', find someone who has nothing to do with me, and exchange the jade with a treasure knife... Remember, it is 'change', don't hurt Xu Buling. If he dies in the jurisdiction of this king, even if it has nothing to do with me, the emperor will cut me to King Su first to apologize."
According to legend, the Minghong Sword is a famous sword made of Huangdi, which was made of copper from the Shoushan Mountain and after casting the Xuanyuan Sword, there is no such thing as the weapon list, and it only appears in legend. Hearing that such heavy weapons were actually hidden in the hands of the King of Wu, even King Zou Yin was a little surprised.
Han Xianchu felt that this method could be tried, with enough weight, and even if Xu Buling didn't want to change it, it would not affect the overall situation.
However, the external argument of jade is to look for the "Tongtian Treasure Book". Those who are interested in "Tongtian Treasure Book" are willing to exchange it with rare swords. Naturally, they are from the martial arts world, and they cannot have anything to do with the King of Wu, and can also put pressure on Xu Bu.
Those who meet these conditions seem to be the only gun god Xue Chengzhi, one of the ten martial artists in Dayue, who is one of the ten martial artists in Jiangnan...
