Wanyan Zongwang deliberately wanted to shelter Bai Sheng from the wind and rain, and Bai Sheng was also happy to pretend to be confused, abandoned the previous itinerary, and instead followed Wanyan Zongwang's team, walking together, and stationing at the same time, he was stunned to delay the planned two-day and one-night trip to three days before he could arrive in the counties outside the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Even Bai Sheng had to admit that Yan Zongwang had indeed helped him a lot along the way. The golden axe of the Golden Vulture scared off at least three waves of people who came to seek revenge, the beggar gang who had fought with Guo Sheng at the beginning was considered a wave, Hebei Tianhu's subordinates were counted as a wave, and Huaixi Wang Qing's subordinates were also counted as a wave.

There is no doubt that these three groups of people died on the northern slope of Wei County. Seeing these people and horses around, Bai Sheng also knew how much trouble Xiao Feng had planted for him.

He once thought that Chao Gai, Song Jiang and Ruan's Sanxiong and his group near Yuncheng would also come to seek revenge, but he did not find that these people showed their whereabouts, so he raised this question in a previous dinner with Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongwang gave him the answer that Chao Gai and his group did not die in the north slope for a while.

Yes, through this journey without thrills and dangers, Bai Sheng can no longer show Yan Zongwang with a stinky face, and when he meets the inn restaurant, he at least has to invite someone to have a meal, right?

After three or two meals of wine and dinner, Bai Sheng was much more polite to Wanyan Zongwang on the face, and the two of them talked about the wine, like a pair of friends, but in fact, they had their own scheming and other purposes.

Under the influence of Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Wulu and Jin Wushu's attitude towards Bai Sheng has also improved a lot, Wanyan Wulu can already joke with Bai Sheng, and although Jin Wushu always feels that Bai Sheng is not enough to fall in love, but in the face of the second brother, he can only restrain himself and stop saying some unpleasant things.

At dusk on this day, the two carriages and horses arrived at an inn thirty miles outside Bianliang City, Wanyan Zongwang decided to stay here for one night, and the next day, the three brothers and sisters would say goodbye here, and half of the people led by Jin Wushu set out on the way home.

In the plan of the Wanyan family, Jin Wushu was originally to escort his brothers and sisters, and now that he has arrived outside Bianliang City, there is no need for him to follow him anymore, on the one hand, because their father Wanyan Aguda needs to fight by his side, on the other hand, Wanyan Zongwang is also worried that Jin Wushu will cause trouble in Bianliang, not to mention that his temper is easy to cause trouble, just say that the ancient divine soldiers he just got are enough to attract all kinds of coveting, even if he doesn't mess with others, people will inevitably calculate him.

It was getting late, Bai Sheng followed Wanyan's family into the inn, and after settling down in their respective rooms, Bai Sheng held a feast in the hall of the inn, saying that he was going to see off Jin Wushu, and at the same time, it was also a formal thank you to Wanyan Zongwang for helping along the way, because after entering Bianliang City tomorrow, Bai Sheng would leave them, and he didn't want to tie himself to the chariot of the Jin people, although he could see that Wanyan Zongwang had this meaning.

According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the Wanyan Zongwang brothers and Bai Sheng Guo Sheng sat at one table, Wanyan Wulu and Li Qingzhao and other three women sat at one table, the thirteen men of Jindingmen sat at two tables, and Guo Sheng's seven brothers sat at one table. In addition to their five tables, there were three tables in the hall for merchants traveling from north to south, which filled exactly eight tables in the room.

The atmosphere of the banquet was not very warm.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't bustle the head of this table, and the men and women at the other tables didn't dare to take the lead.

The reason for the chief cold scene was that Jin Wushu didn't like to drink with Bai Sheng, because he thought that Bai Sheng's drinking was unreal.

The eighteen-year-old Jin Wushu is known as the Jurchen people who drink the most, and according to Wanyan Wulu, her fourth brother's alcohol consumption is second only to Uncle Xiao back then, which is the conclusion made by their father Wanyan Aguta.

At that time, Uncle Xiao conquered all the Jurchen people with only the specialty of drinking, and was respected as the "God of Wine" by the Jurchens, and although today's Jin Wushu is also invincible in the whole clan, he does not deserve the honor of the God of Wine, because the more Uncle Xiao drinks martial arts, the higher he is, he slaughters the bear and the tiger empty-handed, and the Jin Wushu will only use wine to go crazy and provoke trouble.

In the first few dinners along the way, Bai Sheng never refused to accept Jin Wushu's wine fights openly and secretly, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, shouldering the responsibility of escorting Li Qingzhao, how could he dare to get drunk and be unconscious?

So Jin Wushu thought that Bai Sheng was deliberately pretentious, or that the amount of alcohol was really too poor, but no matter which of these two situations Bai Sheng belonged to, he couldn't be a hero who could make the Jurchens give a thumbs up.

What's more, Bai Sheng doesn't eat meat yet.

Of course, the Jurchen people's recipes are based on meat, but Bai Sheng is a vegetarian character, and he is not a Buddhist who eats fasting and keeps precepts.

Therefore, Jin Wushu actually wanted to resist this banquet, but because of his second brother's face, he had to sit at the same table with Bai Sheng.

Coincidentally, in the matter of drinking, Wanyan Zongwang is also particular about taste, he is an ambitious figure, even if the amount of wine is not weak, he is not willing to waste his good time in wine.

Therefore, the four men on the chief were a little drunk. After three rounds of drinking, Wanyan Zongwang and Bai Sheng had already begun to explain their business. Getting down to business when you're most sober is what these two people have in common.

Wanyan Zongwang's business was only to instruct Jin Wushu not to cause trouble on the way back, while Bai Sheng fulfilled his original promise - he had promised Guo Sheng that he would make a big deal when he came to Bianjing, and that this deal was coal mining. Tangyin's mines were controlled by the imperial court, but how rich were the mines and mines on the land of Shenzhou? Bai Sheng at least knew that there was a coal mine near Kaifeng Mansion!

Before the crossing, he once went to Kaifeng with the film crew to shoot a set of location scenes with Fanlou as the background, and he saw the coal mine in Kaifeng when he sat on the crew's bus. In the current Song Dynasty, it is certain that no one knows about the coal mines near Kaifeng, and they have not been discovered and mined at all.

Bai Sheng planned to make Guo Sheng the No. 1 coal tyrant in the Song Dynasty, not only for Guo Sheng's personal sake, but also to pave the way for his future life.

There is no need to hide this kind of thing from Wanyan Zongwang, Bai Sheng arranged on the table how Guo Sheng would build a house in the enclosure outside the city, how to recruit people, and how to deal with the official mansion, but Wanyan Zongwang kept his attention, and his eyes lit up when he listened, and when Bai Sheng stopped drinking, he asked in a casual manner: "Brother Bai, in the future, if you mine this charcoal, can you sell it to the north and sell it to our people?"

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang did not intend to use coal for heating, because the area where the Jurchens lived had inexhaustible natural forests, and the reason why he became interested in coal was because he knew the strategic significance of coal, and he also wanted to build a blast furnace to make iron and steel to meet the growing needs of the Jurchens for war.

Bai Sheng didn't answer immediately when he heard this, but lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he felt that if he helped Yan Zongwang in this matter, it would be tantamount to making the people of the Jin Kingdom like a tiger.

However, it seems that this matter can also be thought of the other way around, that is, after the disgrace of Jingkang in the future, the entire Henan region will be reduced to the territory of the Jin State, rather than being forcibly occupied by the Jin people at that time, the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face, it is better to tell Wanyan Zongwang now that there are rich coal mines between the white mountains and black waters inhabited by the Jurchen tribe.

He thought about it repeatedly, and finally felt that it would be better to tell Wanyan Zongwang about this fact, he couldn't predict what his future fate would be, let alone think about how to reverse the fate of the Great Song Dynasty. Not to mention whether he has this ability or not, even if he does, will the royal family and courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty provide him with a stage for Bai Sheng to perform? In other words, Song Huizong knows who Bai Sheng is?

If the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty had such insight, then how could those awesome people of the contemporary era be forced to go to Liangshan and rebel everywhere?

So he pretended to think hard for a long time before he raised his head in Wanyan Zongwang's expectant gaze and said: "You have this kind of thing in your hometown, and it is extremely rich, far better than Kaifeng Mansion, you can find it by yourself, why bother to go far?"

Wanyan Zongwang stood up in surprise and said, "Brother Bai is serious?"

Bai Sheng put on an expression that the old god was there and didn't bother to answer.

After Yan Zongwang gave a deep salute, "I beg Brother Bai to tell me, where is the exact location of our hometown coal?"

Bai Sheng said: "Have you heard of this place in Jixi?" In his memory, Jixi was one of the four major coal cities in China, although he had never been to this place, but he had the impression that this area should be under the control of the Jurchens. ”

"Jixi, I haven't heard of it. Brother Bai, are you sure that there is such a place name in our hometown?" Wanyan Zongwang tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember such a place name.

Bai Sheng was quite embarrassed when he saw this, as if it was sung in a song - "My hometown lives in that tun'er." He knew that this might be because Jixi didn't call Jixi the name Jixi in this era, but he couldn't say what it should be called, after all, he couldn't go to Baidu to search for the history of Jixi's establishment for Wanyan Zongwang now.

So he said, "In this way, you take the four treasures of the study, and I will draw you a map, and then you will send someone to explore this map." ”

Wanyan Zong was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Wanyan Wulu, the sister of the adjacent table, to go back to the room to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, Wanyan Wulu happily obeyed her fate, and returned in a blink of an eye, just like the waitress in a fast restaurant in later generations, she quickly removed the cups and chopsticks in front of Bai Sheng, spread a piece of paper on the table, and personally grinded the ink into juice, and waited for Bai Sheng to open the painting, which was quite charming with red sleeves and fragrance.

Bai Sheng was not polite, took the brush and dipped it in ink, and drew a pattern with his hands, but the eyes of several people in the banquet widened in surprise.

Wan Yan Wulu pointed to the pattern on the rice paper in astonishment and said, "Bai Gongzi, did you draw a chicken?"
