Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 454 Hunter
Kong Yanzhou and Wanyan Luti each led a group of people and escorted the huge convoy on the road.

The cars were all empty, and they were deliberately loaded with heavy objects to conceal their presence.

They traveled along the way, looting gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies, and then replaced them.

Kong Yanzhou and Wanyan Luti, who were escorting the convoy on the road, were both feeling a little depressed.

Kong Yanzhou was defeated because half of his 5,000 cavalry were assigned to escort the fleet.

Kong Yanzhou knew that Wanyan Dari was intentionally dividing his troops, but he had no way to do anything.

He has already boarded the pirate ship and can't get off.

Pushan Zhongyi's family will not let him go, and Wanyan Liang will never accept him again. If he does, all his subordinates will become alienated.

Now Kong Yanzhou can only follow Wanyan Dari to the end.

If he still wants to change his allegiance, the Song Dynasty and Wanyan Liang have both been exhausted, so the only option he can consider is Western Xia.

His path has become narrower and narrower as he has walked.

Wanyan Dari divided Kong Yanzhou's troops not because he was worried that he would rebel against him again.

He knew that Kong Yanzhou had no way out, he just simply didn't want Kong Yanzhou to become too powerful.

At least for now, Kong Yanzhou has these 5,000 elite cavalrymen in his hands, and he has the ability to compete with Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti.

Although Kong Yanzhou knew that Wanyan Dari's purpose was to prevent him from becoming too powerful, he was still very depressed.

He felt that with Wanyan Dari's narrow-mindedness, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything great.

Despite this, given his relationship with Wanyan Darui and Wanyan Luti, where they shared weal and woe, he still tried his best to strengthen the two men.

Before leaving Jinan, Kong Yanzhou wrote many letters.

These letters were not only addressed to his former subordinates, but also to all the dignitaries of the Jin Dynasty with whom he had interacted, each of whom had a copy.

Kong Yanzhou did not expect to convince these people to rebel against Wanyan Liang with just this letter.

However, after Wanyan Liang knew that they were exchanging letters, he always felt somewhat wary.

Then he achieved his goal.

But what he didn't know was that because of this method, his future path became even narrower.

……

Wanyan Luti was also very depressed.

Because Wanyan Dari raised a banner with the words "King Dari" which was both cool and impressive.

Wanyan Luti and Wanyan Darui have always had a good personal relationship, and now they have joined forces to rebel against Wanyan Liang. The two sides are firm allies.

But allies are allies, and he still wants to fight for the position of leader and follower.

If from now on, Wanyan Da Rui is in charge of the overall situation, outsiders will only know Da Rui and not Donkey Hoof. Once Wanyan Liang's throne is overthrown in the future, the only one who can rule the world will be Wanyan Da Rui, right?

Wanyan Luti discovered that in terms of scheming, he was no match for Wanyan Dari, and he fell behind Wanyan Dari at every step.

The most annoying thing is that even his own father is holding him back.

Why did they give him the name "Donkey Hoof"?
Is it easy to raise a child with a cheap name?

The title of king given to him by Wanyan Liang was no longer valid, so he followed Wanyan Darui's example and raised a big banner, calling himself "Donkey Hoof King?"

I feel depressed.

……

The flag with the words "King Darui" that Wanyan Darui had someone make overnight was fluttering in the wind at the bow of the ship, and it was also seen among the escorting cavalry on the embankment.

Wanyan Darui knew very well that if he established his influence at the beginning of the uprising, he would be able to take a big step ahead of potential competitors without realizing it.

This large flag was written in Chinese characters and Jurchen characters side by side.

The people in Shandong are basically all Han Chinese, and they can only understand Chinese characters.

But once they arrived in Liaodong, they found that it was originally the territory of the Khitans.

There were many people there who could understand the Jurchen script on the flags, because the Jurchen script was derived from the Khitan script.

After the Jin Kingdom occupied all of the Liao Kingdom's territory and most of its population, and then occupied the Central Plains region and population of the Song Dynasty, it began to regard itself as the legitimate ruler of the world.

The Jurchen language they developed based on the Khitan language was also promoted throughout the country as the official language.

Although the upper class of the Jin Dynasty were proud of learning Chinese, wearing Chinese clothes and studying Chinese etiquette, this did not affect their enthusiasm for promoting Jurchen language.

When Xin Qiji went to Yanjing to take the imperial examination, he was worried that if he passed the exam, his frequent social interactions would expose Fei Tianlu's existence.

So he answered randomly to avoid the possibility of passing the exam.

In fact, even if he did the test paper very seriously, the possibility of passing the exam was not high.

Although the Jin Dynasty court had not yet imposed a mandatory requirement to answer questions in Jurchen, the model essays and example essays for the imperial examinations issued by the Jin Dynasty government were all written in Jurchen.

If you can't read Jurchen, then you won't even understand the precautions and basic rules of the Jin Dynasty's imperial examinations.

As for classmate Xiao Xin, he doesn’t even recognize a single bronze inscription.

……

Yangjiaogou, the estuary of Xiaoqing River.

Xiaoqing River is like a swimming dragon, and its estuary is the dragon's tail, which keeps swinging back and forth and is not fixed.

I heard from the older generation that in the early years of the Song Dynasty, the mouth of Xiaoqing River once appeared at the mouth of Zibo River in Guangrao.

Later, a flood changed its course and it came to Yangjiaogou.

As the confluence of rivers and seas, Yangjiaogou has convenient water transportation, so it developed into a thriving commercial port in just a few years.

The salt fields here have more than 400 salt ponds, and each salt pond has seven to ten salt pools.

There is also fishing and many maritime merchants here.

Because the situation between Song and Jin was tense, sea transportation was actually banned, so there were many ships anchored in the port.

Now all these ships have become Wanyan Darui's possession and become his means of traveling to Liaodong by sea.

The Jin army stationed here numbered no more than a thousand men, including a number of tax collectors.

Wanyan Darui only sent out 800 cavalrymen, but he defeated them miserably.

Wanyan Dari, who personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, discovered an extremely brave old soldier among the eight hundred people.

This man was an expert in horsemanship, archery, and spearmanship. He charged into the enemy camp like a tiger into a pack of wolves.

After the battle, Wanyan Darui immediately sent someone to summon him to his presence.

Only then did Wanyan Dari recognize that this man was the old soldier of the Song army who had followed Yu Jiguang to surrender.

Wanyan Dari was pleasantly surprised and said, "Military Advisor, this old soldier is very skilled and brave. What is his name and what position does he hold in your Song State?"

Because the undercover plan was too hastily planned and was entirely the product of Yang Yuan's quick thinking, Yu Jiguang and Fei Tianlu never exchanged lines at all. How would Yu Jiguang know who Fei Tianlu was?

Therefore, Yu Jiguang could only pretend to be cool and said: "I am a civilian official, I don't know the details of this old soldier."

Well, I like the bad habit of the Song people of looking down on each other between civil and military officials.

Wanyan Darui smiled, then turned to Fei Tianlu and asked cordially, "I see that you are very skilled and extraordinary. What position do you hold in the State of Song?"

Fei Tianlu crossed his arms and saluted, saying, "My Lord, my surname is Lu and my name is Tianfei. I am a 'serviceman' in the Song army, and my military position is 'no one to leave'."

"So that's how it is!" Wanyan Darui was even more satisfied after hearing this.

The "utility soldiers" were not the regular army of the Song Dynasty. They were a type of local militia that were recruited voluntarily.

Since the treatment of the "utility soldiers" was better than that of ordinary imperial guards and there were fewer rules, there were many brave and courageous men who volunteered to join the army at the beginning of its establishment, and their combat effectiveness was quite impressive.

Yue Fei originally joined the army as a "utility soldier".

However, after the Song Dynasty moved south, it still had the habit of incorporating all refugees, captured bandits and thieves, and conscripted soldiers who had committed crimes into the army.

This did reduce the trouble for local officials, but these more than one bad fish caused military discipline to weaken, military morale to drop significantly, and combat effectiveness to be much lower than before.

Judging from the graying hair on the temples of this old soldier, he must be the elite among the “utility soldiers”.

The military ranks of service soldiers are divided into senior, secondary, guarding the gate, not going out, outside the team, regular, and surplus.

An elite old soldier who was once a "utility soldier" has only achieved the status of "not being able to make any contribution" so far. It is obvious that he has neither background nor backing in the Song army.

Wanyan Darui nodded, then shook his head and said, "You Song people don't know the value of things, but I have a pair of discerning eyes and can recognize talents.

You are just a "no-man" in the Song army? That's too low. I will first give you a "mouke", and when you make great contributions in the future, I will give you more rewards. "

Now Wanyan Darui has limited troops, so the value of this "Mouke" is a bit low.

However, after he crossed the sea to Liaodong and recruited soldiers, Fei Tianlu could truly live up to the title of centurion.

Fei Tianlu immediately showed a look of gratitude, clasped his fists and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, if you appreciate me so much, I will die for you!"

……

The river beach is a saline-alkali land.

Where there are saline-alkali lands, there will always be large areas of wormwood growing.

The higher the salt content in the soil, the redder the wormwood will be.

The wormwood in Yangjiaogou starts to turn red in May, but it will not turn into a rich crimson color until early October.

Now, the mudflats stretching for miles are covered with blood, which looks particularly spectacular.

In the crowded and rustling waves of Artemisia selengensis, there are crab holes one after another.

The crabs here are not big, but there are many of them.

You can quickly make a pot with just a little bit of your hand.
Steam it in a steamer and eat it with wine, it can really give you a delicious taste.

A straw mat was spread on the mudflat, with three people sitting on it: Yang Yuan, Kong Zheng and Li Minghe.

The food before them had a rough style.

A large stoneware bowl and a black wine jar.

The dishes include whitebait from Xiaoqing River, prawns from Yangjiaogou, crabs from the Artemisia annua forest, and a freshly slaughtered lamb.

There were only four dishes, and there were no fancy tableware. They were all served in large bowls and placed in front of them.

Mr. Li Minghe is the oldest, in his early sixties.

He is Wanyan Luti's father-in-law and a Khitan.

The surname Li was originally the largest surname of the Khitan. It was the national surname bestowed by the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty.

However, times have changed and the Tang Dynasty has long since fallen.

The Khitan people first attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty, then to the Later Turkic Khaganate, and then to the Uighurs...

After being a daughter-in-law for many years, she finally became a mother-in-law. When Yelu Abaoji came on the scene, she finally unified Khitan and was able to hold her head high.

From then on, the Yelu surname became the national surname, and the Li surname declined, but it was still an important surname in the Liao Dynasty that could not be ignored.

The Liao Dynasty was established more than 40 years earlier than the Song Dynasty, but its reign was more than 100 years shorter than that of the Song Dynasty. It lasted only eight generations before it was destroyed by the rapidly rising Jin Dynasty.

Many Khitan clans surrendered to the Jurchens and intermarried with Jurchen nobles, thus becoming integrated into the Jin Empire.

This is the case with Li Minghe's family. In the old land of Liaodong, which originally belonged to the Liao Kingdom, the Li family still has great appeal.

The Li family's marriage partner is the Wanyan Wuliye family.

Li Minghe's youngest daughter married Wanyan Luti, the "leader" of Wanyan Wuliye's generation.

Li Minghe was very friendly to the Song Dynasty envoy Yang Yuan and Duke Yansheng Kong Zheng, and often invited them to drink and feast while on the ship.

Today's picnic on the red sand beach is naturally hosted by Mr. Li.

Li Minghe smiled and said, "Once the property is loaded onto the ship, we will set sail immediately for Liaodong.

Mr. Yang, do you think we can gain a foothold in Liaodong?"

Yang Yuan said calmly: "I know nothing about the situation in Liaodong.

I still have no idea what strategy the Jin emperor will adopt against you, so how dare I make any rash comments."

Li Minghe stared at Yang Yuan and said, "So, Master Yang, do you want us to win, or do you want Wanyan Liang to win?"

“I’m from Song.”

Yang Yuan said: "From my perspective, of course I hope that you who are more friendly to my Song Dynasty will win."

Li Minghe laughed and said, "In that case, we are friends."

Li Minghe raised his wine bowl, and Yang Yuan also raised his bowl. Seeing this, Kong Zheng hurriedly took a sip.

Li Minghe wiped the wine stains from his gray beard and peeled a prawn, saying, "After loading is completed, we will set sail.

But we are not going to Liaodong."

Kong Zheng was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Li, where should we go if not to Liaodong?"

Li Minghe smiled and said, "Military Advisor Yu proposed a plan to Wanyan Darui, asking him to lead only the elite troops to land in Liaodong." Kong Zheng asked impatiently, "What about us?"

Li Minghe smiled and said, "We will take the elderly, the weak, women and children and some property and continue walking along the coast, directly to Shangjing."

This plan was originally instructed by Yang Yuan to be presented to Wanyan Dari by Yu Jiguang.

However, whether Wanyan Darui would accept it or not, the result was only known from Li Minghe.

Kong Zheng heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, "King Da Rui's arrangement is very good.

Going to Liaodong, we will have to go through a series of hard battles. If we were in the army, we would inevitably...

It will inevitably hinder King Da Rui's progress, so it is better to go directly to Shangjing. It is better to go directly to Shangjing."

Li Minghe dipped the peeled shrimp meat into the sauce and put it into his mouth, saying, "General Yu's plan is indeed a good one. I have also sent several of my sons to Liaodong."

Kong Zheng flattered him, saying, "King Da Rui is traveling at a great speed, and the Liaodong people probably don't know that he has rebelled yet.

We should be able to catch the enemy by surprise and win a great victory this time in Liaodong, right?"

Li Minghe smiled faintly, stroked his beard and said: "Maybe. At least, it is not difficult to gain a foothold in Liaodong first."

Yang Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said, "Mr. Li is so confident, could it be that someone from Liaodong is there to help?"

After hearing this, Li Minghe looked at Yang Yuan with appreciation.

This person is indeed extremely smart, and it is worthy of my love for him.

Wanyan Darui was not worthy of the word "Rui" in his name, but he did something stupid like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Since Yu Jiguang, a judge in the Song Dynasty delegation, was a man of great wisdom and strategy, what kind of talent should this top scholar who won the top three places in the imperial examination be?
Even if he is a civil servant and has no knowledge of military strategy, it doesn't matter.

What kind of talents are they most lacking now?
He is a talent for managing internal affairs!
Of course, the "they" in Li Minghe's mind does not include Wanyan Dari.

Li Minghe is Wanyan Luti's father-in-law.

Ever since their daughter married Wanyan Luti and became the princess of this generation of the Wanyan Wuliye family, the Liaodong Li family and the Wanyan Wuliye family have been deeply bound together.

Now that his son-in-law has rebelled, he can only do his best to help him.

Even though Wanyan Dari seems to have overshadowed Wanyan Luti now, Li Minghe does not think so.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were the first to rise up in rebellion, but were they the ones who eventually ruled the country?
Eighteen rebel kings rebelled against the Sui Dynasty. Who was the last one to become the supreme ruler?
Li Minghe had instructed his sons to immediately meet up with Wanyan Luti who was coming from Dengzhou as soon as they arrived in Liaodong, and use the Li family's influence in the old territory of Liaodong to recruit soldiers and accumulate strength for him.

He went to the capital not because he was old and could not endure the hardship of displacement, but because he wanted to win over the Jurchen dignitaries from all sides for Wanyan Luti.

Li Minghe knew the shortcomings of his son-in-law. Although he was brave, his scheming and wisdom were three points inferior to Wanyan Dari.

His sons were also not good at strategy and internal affairs, so Li Minghe took a fancy to Yang Yuan.

If he had a son-in-law as talented as Yang Yuan to assist him, why would he worry about not accomplishing his great cause? Would he still be afraid that Donkey Hoof wouldn't be able to catch up later?

As for the fact that Yang Yuan's heart and body belonged to the Song Dynasty, Li Minghe believed that the reason he did not betray was simply because the stakes of betrayal were not big enough.

In the world today, the Jin Dynasty is the most powerful. People always strive for higher positions!

As long as he could offer Yang Yuan generous conditions that he could not refuse and resolutely refused to let him go, Yang Yuan would judge the situation and make a wise choice.

Li Minghe began to show off the potential power of the Li family to Yang Yuan intentionally, and smiled and said: "The landing place agreed by my son-in-law and Wanyan Dari is on Hesuguan Road (northwest of Wafangdian City, Liaoning Province).

There is a military command there with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. The commander-in-chief of this military command, Jiang Huazhou, has a deep connection with my Li family.

I have already written a letter and asked my son to take it to Hesuguan. I believe that with this letter, we can convince Jiang Dutong to side with us. "

After hearing this, Yang Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become deep.

The Jin Dynasty was founded for forty years ago. During the first twenty years or so, it was busy with expansion and had no time to improve its internal affairs.

Until now, many Jin Dynasty dignitaries still regard the Jin Dynasty as a big alliance, and not as their own country.

No wonder Wanyan Liang wanted to kill him.

If it were him, he would either have to wait patiently for two or three generations to gradually replace the Jin people's ideas.

Otherwise, you can only do as Wanyan Liang did and use thundering means to destroy and then rebuild.

However, he naturally would not say what was in his heart.

Yang Yuan was surprised and said, "The Li family's influence in Liaodong is so great. I admire it.

"When we go to the capital, Yang and Lord Yansheng are both strangers to this place, so we'll have to ask Lord Li to take good care of us."

When Kong Zheng heard this, he quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, we still need you, Lord Li, to take care of us."

Li Minghe pretended to be angry and said, "You two are being a little polite. It is true that you are strangers to each other, but how can you be called outsiders?

You are clearly one of us, Lord Yansheng. As for Scholar Yang, he is also a friend that our Li family can trust, don’t you think so? "

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Of course."

Yang Yuan didn't know that Li Minghe was baiting him, hoping to gradually win him over.

Although he is pretending to be nice, he is actually baiting Li Minghe.

When I go to the Jin Kingdom, will I be supported as an envoy of the Song Kingdom and watch the civil strife in the Jin Kingdom end?

That's not his style.

Wherever Yang Yuan goes, he always causes trouble.
Jisufang, Sanyin Castle, Lin'an Prefecture, Hakatazu, Yulongzhi...

Now that he has arrived in the heart of the Jin Dynasty, he wants to do something bigger.

And his favorite "partner" is Li Minghe.

In the distance, thick smoke suddenly rose up.

Yang Yuan, Kong Zheng and Li Minghe stood up and looked over.

There was not just one plume of smoke, but countless.

Countless plumes of thick smoke, like tornadoes, swirled up into the sky.

That's the burning ship.

Wanyan Darui ordered those extra ships to be burned.

This fire is also the signal to board the ship.

They are about to set sail for Liaodong.

Yang Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and look towards Yanjing.

At this time, Wanyan Liang should have received news of the changes in Shandong.

But no one knew how the Jin emperor, who was later known as “lustful”, would react.

……

The Jin Dynasty Imperial Palace, West Garden, and Fubi Pond.

The weeping willows, the pond, the small bridge and the flowing water are very elegant.

Wanyan Liang wore a Confucian robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as handsome as a jade, and no beard under his chin. He looked quite handsome.

He was standing in the pavilion, painting a picture of a beauty.

In front of him, there were three beautiful young women, some standing, some sitting, and some leaning on the railing to watch the fish, with very different styles.

These are the three sisters Tangku Dingge, Tangku Shige and Tangku Puluhuji.

Tangku Dingge was originally married to Wanyan Wudai, a member of the royal family, but because of her beauty she was noticed by Wanyan Liang, and the two of them became lovers.

Wanyan Liang loved Dingge very much. In order to stay with her forever, he secretly ordered Tangku Dingge to kill her husband.

Tangku Dingge then took advantage of her husband Wanyan Wudai's drunkenness and strangled him to death. She was then taken into the palace by Wanyan Liang and made a noble concubine.

Later, Wanyan Liang discovered that Dingge's two sisters, Tangkuo Shige and Tangkuo Puluhuzhi, were also beauties with great looks.

Both of these beauties were already married, but with the experience of Wanyan Wudai as a lesson, their husbands were tactful enough to divorce their wives.

Thus, the three sisters all became Wanyan Liang's favorite concubines.

Wanyan Liang was a man of literary talent, skilled in poetry, and history records that "his every recitation and every chant was the best of his time."

Unexpectedly, his paintings of ladies are also quite good. The three beauties come to life on the paper, and their expressions and appearances are extremely similar to the three real people in front of him.

Kneeling on the ground next to him was Yang Tang, the commander-in-chief of the Wuwei Army.

He put his hands on the ground, not daring to look up, watching the beads of sweat on his forehead drip onto the stone slab in front of him.

"Haha, the painting is done. Three beauties, come and take a look."

As soon as Wanyan Liang put down his brush, the three Tangkuo sisters came over laughing and admired the paintings the emperor had drawn for them.

Wanyan Liang then turned his head to look at Yang Tang. Seeing that he was sweating profusely and about to faint, Wanyan Liang couldn't help but smile. He picked up his cup of tea, walked up to him and bent down.

Yang Tang was just hanging his head when he suddenly found a hand appearing in front of him. The slender fingers were holding a cup of tea.

Wanyan Liang's gentle voice came to my ears: "You are the commander of the Wuwei Army, responsible for defending Zhongdu and arresting thieves. You are my favorite general.

You should have the fortitude to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapses in front of you. What are you doing? Have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Yang Tang became more terrified after listening to this. The angrier the emperor became, the more he smiled and spoke gently. He didn't know if he could walk out of the palace alive today.

But how could he dare not accept the tea given by the emperor?

Yang Tang took the teacup with both hands and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wanyan Liang smiled and said, "Drink it, drink it all."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Yang Tang drank the tea in one gulp. Because he drank it too quickly and didn't have time to catch his breath, he choked.

But he didn't dare to cough, so his whole face turned red and a strange sound came from his throat.

Wanyan Liang laughed, patted Yang Tang on the shoulder, walked to the pavilion, and looked at the rippling waves in the pool with his hands behind his back.

"Yang Tang, you just said how many powerful families escaped from Zhongdu?"

Yang Tang held the cup, moved his knees, knelt on the ground, turned half a circle, and said in a trembling voice, facing Wanyan Liang's buttocks:

“There are thirteen noble families who have come from Shangjing to Zhongdu to participate in the peace talks.

Among them, six families received the news of Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti's rebellion before the court.

They, they left the capital city under the pretext of going hunting together, and then they rode their horses as fast as they could back to Shangjing.”

Wanyan Liang's hands behind his back slowly clenched and then slowly relaxed.

Yang Tang swallowed hard and continued, "And... Kong Yanzhou's family also got the news in advance and fled to Shangjing."

Wanyan Liang said slowly: "That is to say, there are still seven powerful families left in Zhongdu."

Yang Tang bowed his head and said, "Yes. I realized that the hunting trip of those dignitaries was fake, and they actually sneaked back to the capital. I sent troops to chase them while guarding the remaining seven mansions. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, I can be ready at any time..."

Wanyan Liang sneered, and Yang Tang immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything.

Wanyan Liang was silent for a moment, then a playful smile appeared on his face: "Why didn't the seven families get the news? They don't have very good relationships with people."

Yang Tang didn't dare to respond, but just listened in fear and trepidation.

Wanyan Liang took a deep breath and said, "There is an order."

The eunuch beside him immediately bowed and stood attentively to listen to the order.

Wanyan Liang said: "Tell the Ministry of War to go to Shangjing with a golden medal and a fast horse to tell Wanyan Yan, who is staying in Shangjing, to stop the action and defend the city."

"According to the order!"

"Tell the Ministry of Rites to draft an edict, reprimanding Wanyan Darui and Wanyan Luti for betraying the emperor's grace and plotting rebellion. Then tell the Marshal's Office to draft a charter and send troops to suppress the rebellion!"

"According to the order."

Wanyan Liang waved his hand, and the eunuch immediately left in a hurry.

Wanyan Liang turned around and walked up to Yang Tang, saying calmly, "Get up, go back and withdraw your people.

As for those seven powerful families, whether they came to the palace to ask for permission or left without saying goodbye, just let them do whatever they want and just pretend you didn’t see it.”

"What? Your Majesty, this..." Yang Tang raised his head in surprise.

Wanyan Liang snorted coldly, "This pot of stew hasn't even been lit yet, and half of the ingredients have been thrown away.

What was thrown away were all meat dishes, how can I eat them?

In this case, don't waste the remaining half of the material."

Wanyan Liang looked up at the distant sky, which was the direction of Shangjing.

"Let the eighteen princes with different intentions gather together. With more people, the play will be more lively, right?"

PS: I have been writing since this morning. I have typed a lot of words in the writer’s words, saying that I need to take a break and slow down.

The result is good. I was so tired that I forgot to set the timer. It’s already midnight. I just finished coding...
