.    The spring scenery is bright, the breeze is gentle, and from time to time, white clouds can be seen in the blue sky, changing into thousands of shapes.

    In the affairs of the Marshal's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Chenglin, the prince of the royal family, was dressed in casual clothes, facing the spring breeze, walking on the street of Guide Mansion.  The scenery on the street was completely opposite to the weather. There was no relaxed and pleasant atmosphere at all. Instead, it was full of strange tension and uneasiness.  Although the street ban has not yet been implemented, the hurried pedestrians and the people who were pressed into the river by soldiers from time to time all showed an inexplicable panic and a bit of doomsday decline.

    After several fierce battles between the Song and Jin Dynasties, Guide Mansion had long since become dilapidated. However, perhaps due to the unusual prosperity under pressure, there are still many shops on the streets of Guide Mansion. Although business is now sluggish, judging from their number and scale  , it is not difficult to imagine the scenery of the past.

    Wanyan Chenglin looked at these in silence, and gradually had the answer in his heart.  After all, Guide Mansion is at the junction of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. In the past few days, when the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was relaxing, it was a major commercial distribution center, and most of the business travelers traveling from south to north did business here.  Now that the situation is tense, the business here will naturally be affected, which will also affect the prosperity of Guide Mansion and become sluggish.

    This shows the influence of the Song Dynasty on the Jin Dynasty today.  It is hard to imagine what kind of revenge the Kingdom of Jin will suffer if he really angers Jiankang?

    Thinking of this, Wanyan Chenglin became even more worried.

    He is a member of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom and holds real power. He is deeply trusted by Wanyan Shouxu, so he knows many inside stories.  Jin Guo is now just a sheepskin jacket with air leakage from all sides, which can barely keep him warm, but cannot withstand the cold wind.  He saw Wanyan Shouxu's efforts in his eyes and remembered them in his heart.  When Wanyan Shouxu sacrificed Wanyan Yunhua because of some concerns and needs, although he couldn't bear it, he didn't say much, let alone make any small moves in private.  He always felt ashamed of Wanyan Yunhua.

    This time Wanyan Yunhua committed such a shocking case, he also felt a strange pressure and some indescribable emotions. He couldn't explain it or think clearly, but one thing he was sure of was that completely  Yan Yunhua has brought trouble to the Kingdom of Jin again this time, but there is still a chance.

    Thinking of this.  Some of his past guilt dissipated a lot, and he was more concerned about what new benefits her move could bring to the Kingdom of Jin.  As for the power struggles at the upper level in the past, they can be forgiven and eliminated under the premise of the interests of the Jin Kingdom.  He has full confidence in this.

    "Master, we're here."

    Wanyan Chenglin stopped, looked up at the "North and South Merchant Store" above the store, and then looked around. Yes, this is it.

    He paused for a moment.  It wasn't until the guard behind him said everything was normal that he slowly walked into the store.

    The store was not big, the shelves were empty, there were no waiters, and there was only a weak, frustrated and undisciplined shopkeeper, who was sitting behind the counter with his forehead in his hands and his head hanging down. When he felt someone coming in, he shouted without even raising his eyelids: "There is no one here."  Goods. Go somewhere else.¡±

    Wanyan Chenglin glanced around.  He said calmly: "I'm not here to see the goods, someone invited me here."

    The shopkeeper, who was in his forties, looked up at him for a moment. He seemed to be making sure, but he didn't seem to care at all. After looking at him for a moment, he lowered his eyelids and said feebly: "It's right behind. You can go yourself!"

    ??So scornful.  Instead, Wanyan Chenglin was stunned and hesitated for a moment.  Still walking back, he opened the door curtain and found a utility room. He walked through the narrow corridor and came to a small yard. An elegant figure was standing in front of a small semi-green tree.

    Wanyan Chenglin's footsteps naturally stagnated. After a while, he made heavy footsteps, walked behind the figure, sighed softly, and said pityingly: "Yunhua, thank you for your hard work this time."

    The elegant back slowly turned around, and a strong and clear face came into view. Who else could she be if she wasn't Wanyan Yunhua?

    As a party involved in this incident, Wanyan Yunhua did not change her appearance and try to avoid it as Wanyan Chenglin suspected.  Although I don't know how she arrived at Guide Mansion, from what I can see now, she obviously didn't suffer much, which can be felt from her high-spirited aura.

    The two looked at each other for a moment, neither of them seemed to be able to find a topic to break the deadlock.

    After a while, Wanyan Yunhua smiled slightly, calming down the stalemate in an understatement, which made Wanyan Chenglin feel relieved. Before he could speak, Wanyan Yunhua had already spoken: "Brother Wang, you are fine."

    Wanyan Chenglin showed a slight bitter smile, shook his head, and said helplessly: "Yunhua, brother, I know that you are blaming me, but brother also has unavoidable difficulties. I dare not ask you to forgive me. I only hope that you can understand that brother has done the best for me.  Kim¡¯s wish.¡±

    A complex and difficult-to-understand emotion that seemed to contain thousands of emotions passed through her eyes, and Wanyan Yunhua subconsciously turned her head.He turned his head and looked at the small tree beside him, and said in a lonely tone: "Everyone has his or her own faults. Today Yunhua can forgive Brother Wang, but will Brother Wang forgive Yunhua in the future?"

    Wanyan Chenglin was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Wanyan Yunhua spoke again: "Brother Wang, we don't need to mention what happened in the past. Yunhua met with Brother Wang today because he wanted to thank Brother Wang. If Brother Wang hadn't laid out the suspicion, Yunhua would also  We can¡¯t go back to Daikin so easily.¡±

    "You're welcome, this is what Brother Wei should do. I just didn't expect that the Song State deployed so many manpower along the border, and some of Brother Wei's men were lost." Wanyan Chenglin glanced at Wanyan Yunhua meaningfully.  Go on.

    Wanyan Yunhua lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's natural. I stole Song's gunpowder formula. Why is Zhao Yun not in a hurry?"

    "What?" Wanyan Chenglin cried out in shock. No matter how many times he calculated, he never thought that Wanyan Yunhua would steal such an important thing.  The Song Dynasty's firearms were the most powerful among all other countries, but the most important firearm was the gunpowder formula.  It is not that the Jin Kingdom did not imitate the Song Dynasty's firearms, and it achieved good results in many aspects, but in the end it was stuck on the power of gunpowder.  For firearms of the same size, the power of the Song State was ten times or even more than those imitated by the Jin State. This caused the Jin State to always lag behind the Song State in terms of practical firearms.

    If the Song Dynasty's gunpowder formula is available, the power of the Jin Dynasty's firearms will also be raised to a new level. It will be of great benefit to the Jin Kingdom at that time, which is unimaginable. In some respects, it can even be said to have saved the Jin Kingdom.  Life or death, such a world-shattering achievement and unparalleled surprise made Wanyan Chenglin feel extremely excited, and he kept asking for some details.

    In Wanyan Yunhua's narration, Wanyan Chenglin gradually learned about the whole incident, especially how Wanyan Yunhua escaped from Jiankang, and the twists and turns, which made him worried. Even though he knew that Wanyan Yunhua would be fine, but when she was there,  Wanyan Chenglin's narration still made Wanyan Chenglin break into a cold sweat, and he was frightened just thinking about it.

    "Yunhua, you have made great contributions to the Kingdom of Jin this time. Don't worry, I will definitely ask the emperor for instructions and celebrate your success." Wanyan Chenglin's eyebrows were flying, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at Wanyan Yunhua with a little longing.

    Wanyan Yunhua knew what he meant, and took out a handkerchief from her side and handed it to Wanyan Chenglin: "This is part of the formula diagram, to avoid any problems. For the other parts, I asked Hala to try to take them to Kaifeng. It is estimated that they will be available in a few days.  arrive."

    Wanyan Chenglin excitedly took the handkerchief and read it carefully, but he didn't understand what it said, so he had to return it to Wanyan Yunhua and asked with concern: "Is it safe at Hara?"

    ¡°Absolutely no problem.¡±

    After receiving Wanyan Yunhua¡¯s assurance, Wanyan Chenglin gradually calmed down, and then thought of the current problem.  The Song State is now so powerful that the Jin State must give an explanation.  Originally, the best option was to hand over Wanyan Yunhua, but now it is obviously impossible. How to appease the Song State and prevent it from angering the Jin State and maintain the status quo for the time being is really difficult to decide.

    After hesitating for a moment, Wanyan Chenglin informed Wanyan Yunhua of the current situation, hoping to get some inspiration from her.

    Wanyan Yunhua listened calmly, and finally smiled slightly: "Brother Wang, you, like Brother Huang, were frightened by the bluff of Song State. As far as Yunhua is concerned, Song State wants to maintain the status quo more than we, Dajin, do.  .¡±

    Wanyan Chenglin knew that she had always been resourceful, so she must have something to say. His spirit was suddenly shaken, and he asked repeatedly: "How do you say that?"

    "Although our Northern Expedition failed and suffered heavy losses, the Song Dynasty also suffered a loss of vitality in the northwest. Although it won a victory, it could only be regarded as a disastrous victory and was unable to support its Northern Expedition. What's more, many rivers in the Song Dynasty are now overflowing.  , Zhao Yun is gathering the strength of the whole country to fight the flood, how can he have the energy to take care of this matter. Besides, it will not be of any benefit to the Song Dynasty to be at odds with me, Dajin. With Zhao Yun's character, how can he do such a thing.  According to Yunhua, the actions of the Song State are only to force me, Dajin, to hand over Yunhua. As for sending troops to punish Yunhua, they are just false threats and cannot be trusted."

    Wanyan Yunhua glanced at Wanyan Chenglin meaningfully, causing the latter to express his position repeatedly: "Your Majesty's intention is very clear, he will never hand over Wang Mei. As a brother, I am entrusted by His Majesty to come to rescue Wang Mei. Please also  Don¡¯t worry, Sister Wang.¡±

    Wanyan Chenglin did not comment on Wanyan Chenglin's statement. Just when he felt frustrated and confused, Wanyan Yunhua sighed quietly: "In fact, Yunhua's life and death are so insignificant. As long as it can be beneficial to me, Dajin, what does it matter if Yunhua dies? But now I am big  The Jin Kingdom is trapped and the army is exhausted, but Yunhua can still try her best, how can she care about life and death?"

    After a slight pause, he then turned around and said: "If Brother Wang doesn't want to hand over Yunhua, there are no other ways to solve the matter, and I, Daijin, might be able to get some benefits from it. It's just a matter of discretion.  We must grasp the appropriateness, otherwise it will be?It will be self-defeating.  "

    Wanyan Chenglin was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned over, listening and nodding. Soon the worries on his brows disappeared, and he sincerely praised: "Yunhua, you are really my golden daughter Zhuge."

    Wanyan Yunhua smiled softly and turned around to see a butterfly that came from nowhere and was flying alone in the courtyard, alone and lonely.
