Chapter 82: Anger (I)

August

The rain began to fall again.

Song Xinyou looked out the window, only to see the smoke and rain outside, the corridor and the garden, all shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and wanted to open the window, because the room was filled with the smell of herbs mixed with incense.

But thinking about the treasure in his belly, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to rest his mind and just asked: "What is the general doing now?"

"The general is playing chess with Mr. Lu Yulu" Su'er was talking to Song Xinyou's soft couch to relieve her boredom, and she was talking at this time.

Song Xinyou listened, nodded, and smiled.

At this time, in the study, there was a chessboard, which was covered with black and white chess pieces.

Wang Hongyi likes chess very much, but this is really talented, in the past and future lives, this talent is not very good, of course, there are also factors that are not integrated.

Now that the memory and strength are gradually absorbed and improved, although this chess skill has grown a little longer, it is not enough to see.

Lu Yu's chess is peaceful and upright, with a dignified and upright teacher, laying a net of heaven and earth, and setting up ambushes on ten sides in an invisible place, but it is very suitable for Wang Hongyi's temperament, playing a few games, and often has understanding.

Outside the window, the wind and drizzle, drizzling, in the room, the two of them sat by the window, the fragrance of tea overflowed, this is really enjoying life.

At this moment, a guard stepped forward and said, "Song Ziye asks to see the general"

"Song Ziye?" Wang Hongyi was a little surprised.

This brother-in-law is the heir of the Song family, and he is usually a little arrogant, why is he begging to see him now?

I wanted to think so, but immediately said, "Biography"

A rain, let the autumn come in advance, walking in the mansion, the original uneven stone slabs, after getting wet, give people a smooth feeling, a few bunches of pink and white flowers bloom, the slightly cool moist air inhaled into the lungs, the heart is refreshing.

But at this time, Song Ziye was not interested and walked in a hurry.

I came once when I got married, but this time, the situation changed greatly, and I saw that the rain was cloudy, and the walls were full of impenetrable evergreen vine leaves.

The corridor is left and right, it is open and open, from time to time I see the guards standing with their hands down, the general's mansion is governed by military law, I saw the guards with swords and swords, standing straight, all the way was silent, and even the sound of coughing phlegm was not heard.

The guards leading the way in front led the way, only listening to the sound of boots under their feet, adding to the silence, in just one year, this majesty has been completely different.

Although Song Ziye was full of concerns, he couldn't help but gradually calm down in the face of this majesty.

When they arrived at a courtyard and entered, the guard said, "Song Gongzi, you wait a minute, I'll go and tell the general." ”

Song Ziye had to wait, and after a while, the guards came out: "Please come in"

When I got inside, it was the study, which had a large window, and at this time, Wang Hongyi was calmly playing chess.

Song Ziye just glanced at it, and saw that Wang Hongyi's bearing was very different at this time, with a smooth light on his face, and his forehead was really smooth as a mirror, which was a manifestation of qi and Dashun, and it was said that this was out of phase.

The person on the opposite side was about twenty-four or five years old, wearing a cyan wide-sleeved robe, and his demeanor was calm and steady, but he ignored himself and was contemplating it.

At this time, Song Ziye came up and fell directly in front of Wang Hongyi, kowtowed again and again, crying: "Please also ask my brother-in-law to save my father, and ask my brother-in-law to save my father."

Hearing this, Wang Hongyi couldn't help but be surprised, and the chess pieces he lifted stopped slightly in mid-air, then put them back in the chess bowl, and said: "Mr. Lu, it's rude, this chess will end here."

turned around, and helped Song Ziye, but Song Ziye refused, kneeling on the ground: "Brother-in-law, save my father quickly"

Wang Hongyi couldn't help frowning, a little unhappy in his heart, calmed down, and said: "Hurry up, there is something to say, there is no need to be like this, if you don't say it, how can I know the inside story?"

Song Ziye is everyone's son in the end, and he can't be a dead person, so he has to get up.

Lu Yu put away the chess pieces and looked at it, this young man looked only ten ** years old, with a pair of almond eyes on his slightly curved face, and he was indeed very handsome.

"You sit down first, what's the matter, say it slowly, no matter how urgent things are, you can't rush this moment. Wang Hongyi said.

Song Ziye saluted again, and his eyes were already full of tears: "Brother-in-law, Wei Cundong from Chengdu, is moving towards our Song family." ”

"Oh?" Wang Hongyi was taken aback, and got up a few steps: "How is the situation?"

"Three days before the start, my father and the second uncle got the news, the second uncle left Chengdu under the pretext of collecting money, and met the recalled person halfway, the second uncle had a family soldier and did not go back. ”

"After that, I heard the news that Wei Cundong had raided my Song family, a total of seventeen shops in three counties in Chengdu, and seventy-three people, including my father. ”

"This guy said that we are rebels and are going to be beheaded next month, and I ask my brother-in-law to save my father and save my clansmen" After speaking, Song Ziye pounced down again, kowtowed and said.

Wang Hongyi listened, groaned and said slowly: "Across Hongze Town, I want to send troops to rescue it, but it's too late, besides, people are in the hands of Wei Cundong, even if they send troops now, they can't save people, you calm down first, I think Wei Cundong won't be like this, he is not afraid that there will be no way back?"

"Don't be so flustered, what about your uncle?"

"My uncle galloped overnight, for two days and one night, and he had arrived in Wenyang Mansion, but he was tired and rained, and he couldn't see his brother-in-law for a while, so he asked his brother-in-law for help. ”

Wang Hongyi sat on the chair, leaned over to listen, but did not speak, waited for a while, and said: "I will find a way to do this, and it is not a matter for you to be like this now...... Let's go back first, and I'll gather my ministers today to discuss this matter. ”

"By the way, originally you came here to meet my wife, but she is now raising a baby for five months and can't be angry, this news is blocked first, so there is no need to say more. ”

Seeing that Wang Hongyi refused to agree to send troops to rescue immediately, and blocked the news from his sister, Song Ziye seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and he was about to erupt fire, and he wanted to stand up and scold Wang Hongyi for being ruthless and unjust, but he finally had a little reason and held back.

I had to hate and give up my hand and go down.

Seeing him leave, Wang Hongyi was a little unhappy, Song Ziye's mood, he understood that if his father was captured, this would be the case between life and death.

It's just that Wang Hongyi is just an in-law after all, according to the rules of ancient times, although the Wang and Song families are in-laws or two families, strictly speaking, they are even outsiders.

Moreover, Wang Hongyi is the lord of the two counties, and it involves military and political affairs, Song Ziye wants to send troops as soon as he pleads, does this mean that Song Ziye is confused, or is Wang Hongyi confused?

However, after all, Song Ziye is young, and it is related to his father and family, so it is understandable that he is anxious, and after thinking about it, forget it, and ordered: "Come on, please ask Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi to discuss the matter." ”

At this time, Lu Yu originally wanted to leave, but couldn't find a chance, so he hurriedly bowed his hand: "Since the general has something, then I will retire." ”

"Hey, Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself, I'm in a mess now" Wang Hongyi said, watching Lu Yu leave, pacing back and forth.

After a while, the two hurriedly came in with umbrellas, and someone handed them towels, and both of them changed their clogs, wiped their faces, and removed the rain.

"Just now, my brother-in-law Song Ziye came in and cried to save my father-in-law. Wang Hongyi did not sit on the same day as usual, standing on the ground and pacing back and forth, playing with a small paperweight in his hand: "It is said that Wei Cundong did it, copied the Song family, Chengdu has a total of seventeen shops in three counties, including my father-in-law, seventy-three people, and will be beheaded next month for the crime of rebellion." ”

Neither of them thought of this, and neither dared to speak, and it was an ancient adage that those who were estranged did not participate in the affairs of those who were close to them.

How many courtiers forgot this and died.

The room was silent, Wang Hongyi didn't care, and said: "Let's all sit down and talk, there are no outsiders here, just the three of us, even my wife doesn't know today's discussion...... Just say it. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face, paced to the chair and sat down, served the tea, and when he saw that he hadn't spoken yet, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "How is the farmland and warehouse situation this year?"

Yu Liangbo hurriedly bowed and said: "Lord, Dafan's household registration has been checked, and the wasteland has also been reclaimed, but our two counties are not densely populated. ”

"This year's summer harvest of wheat is good, but after all, the time for cultivation is still short, because of the expansion of armaments and warfare, there is not much surplus grain flowing to the people, through the purchase of foreign grain through merchants, used for reserves, grain prices have also risen to half a cent of silver."

Wang Hongyi listened, nodded, and asked again: "What about the military situation?"

"Lord, the twenty-fourth battalion is training now, and it already looks a little good, and by next month, half of the regular soldiers can be made, and they will be trained for another journey, and when it comes to the New Year, it will be almost there. ”

"The information collected by the paper armor division has now made another 2,000 sets, and it is expected that in March next year, 20,000 sets of paper armor will be put together. ”

When Wang Hongyi heard this, his face changed from solemn to relaxed, and he nodded and said: "Very good, I am very happy to hear it, and only with this confidence can we argue...... Tell me, what are you going to do now?"

Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi pondered for a moment, and when they saw that Wang Hongyi's eyes were bright, they had to speak.

Yu Liangbo sighed and said: "General, this use of soldiers lies in the accumulation of thick and thin, if the minister is not polite, the general has only ruled the second county for a year, even if there is a heavenly omen, this person's heart is stable, it will take a while." After the Chinese New Year, there have been three bumper harvests, and this heart has settled down, and now is not the time to send troops. ”

Zhang Youzhi hurriedly said: "Besides, how can we fight this Chengdu? Chengdu has a thicker foundation than ours, not to mention this, if we want to fight it, we must also pull out Hongze Town -- how can we pull out Hongze Town if we want to fight it?

Speaking of this, he exhaled a breath, and Zhang Yuzhi said: "Lord, there are no outsiders here, so the minister will risk death and say, this matter of the Song family, you can't use troops."
