After staying in Fangshan County for nearly five days, Xiao Qi arrived at Fengling Dutch and sent her current location and arrangements. Xu Buling was able to set off and meet at Fengling Dutch.

Ning Qingye was forced to kiss again, and it goes without saying what his reaction was. He had been hiding far away for several days. He changed his medicine and refused to let Xu Buling help him. He even held his sword when he went to bed. The two lived in the same house, but they couldn't meet each other from morning to night, and they were separated from their meals.

Xu Buling knew Qingye's personality. He had been feeling awkward since childhood and didn't know how to deal with lack of feelings. He took a long time to recover. Naturally, he did not pursue this again and again.

As the eldest grandson of General Xu Lie and the young master of the Xiliang Army, Xu Buling could not take care of the east side, and he would not be able to hide in the house and flirt with the beauty when fighting in the east. On the surface, he still had to do his best. He stayed in the military tent of Fangshan County during the day, paying attention to the ever-changing situation on the battlefield in Taiyuan.

The day after arriving, the court sent a letter of commendation in a hurry of 800 miles, and Xu Buling made his decision to decide on his own.

Xu Buling naturally understands the meaning of this kind of common words from the superiors in the officialdom, isn’t it just to make him ‘glitter’?

Xiao Qi had already made some plans in his letter. For greater benefits in the future, Xu Buling didn't mind shaking hands with the court first. The prince Jiang Kai was left in the military camp of Fangshan County and escorted to Chang'an by the border army, and became Dayue's prisoner in case of future emergencies.

Xu Buling's reply to the court was naturally "The Xu family has the responsibility to defend the territory, enjoy the favor of the emperor, eat the fiefs of the people, and defeat the enemy on the battlefield is a matter of internal affairs. He is unavoidable and dare not ask for anything." It means "I have given enough rewards before, and it is worthy of serving the court. You don't have to think about how to reward them."

After expressing his attitude, as for the reaction of the court, there will naturally be no results in a short period of time. This is just an introduction, and it depends on how the situation will change in the future.

Although the prince Jiang Kai and the magic arrow Yang Kuan were left behind, it was definitely impossible to chase the wind horse to the court. Good horses were rare objects everywhere. For Xu Buling, the two wind horses were more valuable than Jiang Kai, so he took them to Fengling Ferry to board the boat.

At the eighth day of the first lunar month, at dusk, three wind-chasing horses stopped on the official road on Quzhuang on the north bank of the Salt Lake in Hedong. Xu Buling and Ning Qingye entered the inn in the town.

Hedong was the capital of the Xia Dynasty in ancient times. Jin, Qin and Yu converged here, and it was regarded as the transportation hub in the middle of Dayue. During the war, there were many cars and horses on the official roads in Quzhuang. Tens of thousands of people came from the north to Hexi to avoid the war. The endless Guanzhong army went upstream and retreated to the north to retreat to the enemy.

There were too many people who had deserted the war, and almost all the inns in the town were full of people. Even Xu Buling spent three times the room money before he squeezed out a room from the inn to allow the two to settle down.

The inn hall was busy talking about the situation in the north, and everything was said in a mess.

Ning Qingye was sitting at the wine table beside the window with a hat, looking at the people in the Jianghu Lake, and was also listening to the news from the north. Seeing Xu Buling coming, he turned his face to the street outside the window.

Xu Buling had already placed the priceless Fengmao, came to sit opposite the table, and sighed softly:

"I just asked the waiter that there have been too many people crossing the Yellow River to avoid war recently, and the inns in the town are crowded. This room is still useless. It is a waste of energy. It can only be saved from a man-in-law. It can only be put for one night..."

Ning Qingye turned his face and frowned slightly: "I can't see so many people sleeping on the streets outside."

Xu Buling picked up the wine pot and poured the wine, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that you will misunderstand that I will only open one room on purpose."

Ning Qingye picked up the rice bowl and chopsticks, and his tone was plain: "Walking in the world, this kind of thing is very common. We can just take turns to watch the night at night. If you don't want to, I can just keep you all night."

The words were obviously cold and not very close. Xu Buling put the wine glass in front of Ning Qingye and smiled:

"What? Not yet calmed down?"

Ning Qingye was originally straightforward, so he put down his bowls and chopsticks when he heard this:

"How do you let me breathe? It's better to be in Chang'an City, I think you're wrong. I came again a few days ago! My innocent daughter's house has nothing to do with you. What's the difference between your behavior and those playboys who bully men and women?"

Xu Buling raised up and made a swear gesture:

“There are many people in the inn, so I’ll talk later.”

Ning Qingye looked around and looked at him a few times, his voice slightly lowered, and he snorted:

"When I was in Chang'an City, I heard from the storyteller, saying that you 'blaming men and women, forcing good men to become prostitutes'..."

"It's 'forcing a good wife'..."

"you……"

Ning Qingye held it in for a long time and simply stopped talking.

Xu Buling chuckled and began to drink by himself.

Quzhuang is still two hundred miles away from Fengling Ferry. With the strength of chasing Fengma, you should be able to return to the boat tomorrow afternoon.

He was able to continue being taken over by the ladies immediately. Xu Buling was in a very good mood. He was also listening to the chats of all walks of life in his spare time.

If we say that the fastest news is the only one who has sent the news, except for the 800-mile rush station in the court, the only ones in the Jianghu people. At some point, the Jianghu news is even faster than the official ones.

Just as the meal was halfway through, a few tourists who had just arrived at the inn talked to each other and attracted the attention of the two:

"I heard that something big happened in Jiangnan. The Eagle Tower rebelled there, and led millions of rebels to conquer cities and land everywhere, and they almost defeated Hangzhou..."

"Yes, something happened in the north. I heard that the Liaoxi Army ran back halfway through, and there was not even a suppression..."

"What should I do? Don't want Jiangnan anymore?"

The inn was originally a place where the three religions and the nine streams gathered together. When they encountered war, what news quickly attracted everyone's attention and they began to participate in the discussion.

Ning Qingye frowned, listened to a few words, and asked:

"Hey, there are more than one million rebels in Jiangnan? Did Li Hansheng pull it up?"

Xu Buling knew that Qingye hated Li Hansheng very much, and that the troubles in Jiangnan would deepen his hostility. He shook his head:

"Not as many as one million people, but there must be more than ten or two hundred thousand. Everything is planned and directed and acted by the King of Wu behind the scenes, and it has little to do with Li Hansheng."

“Why do they do this?”

"Um……"

Xu Buling thought for a while, and before he could finish his words, a few of the gangsters who were talking to him answered:

"The chaos in Jiangnan is in a mess, and the King of Wu can't suppress it. I heard that Jiangnan has just been announced to impeach today..."

Jianghuke said here, his voice lowered a little, looked around and confirmed that there was no official position, and then pointed to Chang'an with his hands:

"...Improving the current emperor said, "Since he succeeded to the throne, he has committed tyranny and torture, levying people's wealth, and raising heavy troops to maintain heavy troops and not fulfilling his responsibility to defend the territory, resulting in the loss of the border, rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and losing the responsibility of the emperor, and not worthy of being the king'..."

"Buzz"

As soon as this was said, the people in the inn shrank their necks, some got up and left to avoid causing trouble, while others were careful to get closer and ask for the truth or falsehood.

Xu Buling was a little stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the King of Wu was so fast.

Ning Qingye was confused when he heard it, but he could empathize with the idea of ​​"great tyranny and torture".

After Song Ji took office, the "Iron Eagle and Deer Fighting" killed the rivers and lakes, and it was bloody. I don't know how many families in the rivers and lakes were destroyed and the houses were confiscated. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "tyranny and torture". As long as they were from the rivers and lakes, they basically felt that they were talking about it when they heard this.

Ning Qingye thought for a while, and to prevent the chat from being heard by others, he stood up and sat in front of Xu Buling, leaned closer and asked in a low voice:

"The King of Wu rebelled?"

Xu Buling drank wine with a plain expression and responded softly:

"It's not a rebellion, but a desire to 'destroy the emperor and establish a new king'. Just like King Wu defeated Zhou, the emperor was unjust, which caused trouble to the people, masters, vassal kings, and court officials to unite to depose the monarch. There were not many deposed emperors in history, but most of them were caused by the emperor's inability to suppress the court, relatives, and various princes. There were actually few who were deposed because of their incompetence."

Ning Qingye was a little puzzled: "Can the emperor be dismissed from office?"

"Of course, when the prestige is lost and the people under his command are disobedient, the emperor is just an ordinary person. However, it is a bit difficult to abolish the throne of Song Ji. King Wu told the world and filed several crimes for Song Ji, 'tyranny torture, heavy taxes, loss of territory, and ignoring the disaster'. These four things can indeed be the reason for the deposed emperor. However, Song Ji has been diligent in government affairs since he ascended the throne, rewards and punishments have been moderate, and has a very good reputation among all officials. Although he lost Taiyuan, he can fight back with the combat power of the Guanzhong army. As long as the civil and military officials in the court do not agree, the emperor will not be deposed."

"What should I do?"

"Since the King of Wu has made it clear, he will definitely not fulfill his responsibilities as a vassal king and listen to Song Ji's words. If it were normal, Song Ji would definitely send troops to destroy the King of Wu, but now something happened in the north, it would be difficult to pacify the King of Wu in time. If I guessed correctly, the King of Wu would soon form an alliance with the two kings of Wei and Yu, and would not send troops to support the north, and force Song Ji to abdicate and give way to the wise. If Song Ji did not retreat, he would find a reason to send troops to attack Guanzhong. Well... The meaning of the King of Chu is very important now. The King of Chu is sandwiched between the two sides, and the soldiers are strong in his hands. If he stands on Song Ji's side, he will definitely send the King of Chu to pacify the three kings in the east. If he stands on Jiangnan, the four vassal kings join forces, Song Ji will be isolated and helpless, and basically will be gone."

Ning Qingye seemed to understand but didn't understand, and thought about it:

"Don't the emperor have many soldiers? Can't he defeat these princes?"

"It's a fight."

Xu Buling sighed: "But now Northern Qi is invading the border. If Song Ji transfers the army back and goes to pacify the three kings in the east, it is equivalent to giving up half of the country to Northern Qi. If you really do this, it doesn't matter if the three kings join forces, all officials can destroy Song Ji."

Ning Qingye understood this time: "Brothers are fighting against the wall. Now the enemy is invading, and the emperor is busy guarding the border. The King of Wu rebelled at this time, so why not take advantage of others' danger!"

Xu Buling spread his hands out: "That's how strategy is played. During the peaceful season, the three kings in the east dared to jump out and make noise. Even my father could only squat in Xiliang honestly."

Ning Qingye thought about it carefully and asked again: "You have a grudge with the emperor. If you stand up at this time and join forces with those princes, will the emperor betray all the relatives and be gone?"

Xu Buling chuckled: "The seven kings work together, under this situation, Song Ji will definitely be gone. However, if the three kings in the east rebelled, it will be the Song family who succeeded, and it will be the emperor. If they turn around, they will still be able to cut me down. There is no benefit. Why should I help them take the team?"

"Then what should you do?"

"See how the King of Chu expresses his opinion. The King of Chu must want to be the emperor on Bodhi Island. He will probably jump and sneer for a while. I am in the Western Regions and cannot get off the stage for the time being. Go back and get married first and wait until they finish the team."

Ning Qingye nodded slightly, not chatting much in the field he was not good at, looking at a few people who talked a lot, and continued to listen to these people talking nonsense.

Xu Buling listened for a moment and did not hear any valuable information anymore. After the meal, he stood up and said:

"Go ahead and go to bed."
