.    "Wanyan Chenglin? Isn't he the prince of the Kingdom of Jin? Why did he come to Guide Mansion?" Mo Rulan took the reply from the Kingdom of Jin and shook her head in confusion.

    Three days ago, Mo Rulan wrote an invitation to the guard of the Guide Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin in the name of jointly fighting floods. Unexpectedly, it was Wanyan Chenglin who replied.  The words on the post were extremely polite and courteous. Not only did he fully agree with Mo Rulan's opinion and agreed to meet and negotiate, but he also said that he would do his best to promote this matter and benefit the Song and Jin countries.

    After reading the post, Mo Rulan subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. She could only guess whether there was some conspiracy on the part of the Jin Kingdom.

    When she looked up and saw Li Quan standing to one side, Mo Rulan didn't hide anything and handed the post to him directly.

    After reading it, Li Quan was also confused and gave the post to his wife Yang Miaozhen.

    Yang Miaozhen was much more attentive than Li Quan, and also had a deep understanding of the situation in the Kingdom of Jin. He looked over and over for a moment, and then whispered to Mo Rulan: "From what Miaozhen saw, Wanyan Chenglin came to Guide Mansion, and outside  Zi and Miaozhen knew nothing about it. It could be seen that the other party was on tight guard, but now he would show his identity in such a big way. It was really strange. What's more, with Wanyan Chenglin's status in the Kingdom of Jin, how could he bother to keep secrets about ordinary things?  Come to Guide Mansion and guess something from this."

    Mo Rulan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately thought of the hotly debated Wanyan Yunhua case. With such a huge commotion in the Song Kingdom, it was impossible for the Jin Kingdom to remain indifferent and allow an important royal prince to disguise himself and come to the front line.  It is enough to reflect the importance Jin State attaches to this matter.

    But what does this matter have to do with me?

    Mo Rulan still felt puzzled. Even if Wanyan Chenglin came here to solve Wanyan Yunhua's matter, there was no reason to meet her.  Although she is an imperial minister.  But she was only supervising the flood control and discussing with the guards of Guide Mansion how both sides could jointly fight the flood. It could be said to be an inland matter, but it was too childish to think that she could influence the court's decision-making or even change Zhao Yun's opinion.

    She doesn¡¯t have the ability, let alone the interest.

    ? took the post returned by Yang Miaozhen and glanced at it again.  Piaotian Literature website said: "Fighting floods is a top priority now. It would be nice to meet a person in charge of the Jin Kingdom. Some things can be handled better. Tell them and we will meet on the river beach tomorrow."

    Li Quan nodded and turned around without saying a word. Yang Miaozhen hesitated for a moment.  He glanced at Mo Rulan and said softly with some doubts and reminders: "Sir, there is something wrong with making a private appointment with the prince of an enemy country. I'm afraid" He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was made clear.

    Mo Rulan shook her head indifferently and said: "Things have their own priorities. This year's flood season is serious. Without the cooperation of the Jin Kingdom, it is really not optimistic to rely solely on the power of the Song Dynasty. If the Yellow River really breaks through on the side of the Jin Kingdom,  The Song Dynasty will also be affected. Your Majesty is wise. You will definitely understand the stakes involved."

    Yang Miaozhen was a little disapproving, but did not speak. He just muttered in his heart: Your Majesty is wise, but those officials will not care about you so much.

    Mo Rulan¡¯s eyes fell on Yang Miaozhen, she realized something and smiled comfortingly.  He comforted: "Don't worry. If there is any blame from Jiankang, just blame it on me."

    Yang Miaozhen barely managed a few words.  He also turned and left.

    The next day, under the protection of Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen, Mo Rulan came to the river beach where they met.

    The river beach is in the middle of the line of actual control between the Song and Jin Dynasties. Wanyan Chenglin had already arrived early. Large groups of Jin soldiers had blocked the roads on the Jin side. A long table was placed on the side of the river beach. Wanyan Chenglin sat on the Jin side.  On the other side of the country, there is an empty chair opposite, and the invitation is very obvious.

    After Li Quan arrived with his men, he exchanged information with the lieutenant who was left behind. Without greeting the other party, he spread out his men and started a confrontation with Jin Guo.

    The warriors on both sides of the Song and Jin Dynasties unsheathed their swords and guns, cocked their crossbows, and were filled with murderous intent.

    Li Quan looked at the Jin soldiers in the distance with a cold face and waved reluctantly. A group of soldiers came out. Mo Rulan followed them and slowly approached the meeting place.

    Seeing Mo Rulan, Wanyan Chenglin showed a peaceful smile, stood up, and said with a smile: "Master Mo is here in person, which really makes Chenglin extremely happy."

    Mo Rulan looked at him, then turned her eyes to one side, where there was a mysterious man in black wearing a cloak.  He glanced at this person with a slight doubt, then looked at Wanyan Chenglin, and replied calmly: "I didn't expect to meet the famous Prince Wanyan in a simple meeting. I am really surprised.  What a pleasant surprise.¡±

    With a smile on Mo Rulan's official cavity, Wan Yan Chenglin asked the other party to take the seat, and talked about some of the Song Jindai contract, and then slowly transferred to the topic: " Although your country is in the northwestMongolia was destroyed, but the overall strength of Mongolia still exists. Ogedai has summoned all ministries and kings to hold a succession ceremony. Under the current situation, cooperation between the Song and Jin Dynasties will benefit both parties, and competition will lead to mutual losses. In fact, there should be mutual benefit.  , give up the dispute and work together for the overall situation.  Chenglin is willing to use this cooperation to fight floods as an opportunity to re-solidify the Song-Jin alliance, so you can rest assured that you are here in person.  "

    Mo Rulan was noncommittal, but she was quickly thinking about the other party's purpose in saying this.  She once served as the governor of Lizhou and served as the minister of civil affairs for a long time. Especially since she took over as the leader of Momen, even if she didn't want to know, the amount of information she obtained was enough for her to understand many things.

    Song and Jin have a feud for hundreds of years. The Song Dynasty is now prosperous, but the Jin Kingdom is getting worse and worse. With one thing going down and the other going up, the battle between the two sides is inevitable.  The so-called peace alliance between Song and Jin was entirely brought about by Zhao Yun. Although the reasons were not clearly stated, she analyzed it and concluded that there were no more than two points. First, Zhao Yun was not able to fully control the domestic situation at that time, so he needed to appease the Jin Kingdom.  , the second is the compromise Zhao Yun made to the Jin Kingdom in order to deal with Mongolia.

    It was under these two circumstances that the Song-Jin covenant was born.  According to the current situation, this covenant has long lost the basis for its existence, and it may not be long before that.  The Song Dynasty will tear up the alliance and send troops to the Jin Kingdom.  Although these things are not stated explicitly, they reflect Mo Rulan's status and wisdom.  It's not hard to guess.  Under such circumstances, it is too slim to say how to stabilize the Song-Jin alliance.

    I heard that Wanyan Chenglin was famous for his talent and resourcefulness in the Jin Kingdom. Could it be that he really couldn't see the situation clearly?  Or did he have an ulterior motive and say this on purpose?

    After repeated weighing, Mo Rulan felt that the latter might be bigger, which was the purpose of the other party's words.  It's most likely why we were paving the way later.  Thinking of this, Mo Rulan became a little cautious. She responded to Wanyan Chenglin's words calmly and explained clearly the significance of the two parties' joint efforts to prevent floods. She either turned a deaf ear to some other questions or did not answer them.  Wanyan Chenglin couldn't continue.

    Knowing that he could not get any real answer from Mo Rulan, Wanyan Chenglin gave up helplessly, stood up, looked at Mo Rulan with a strange expression, shook his head after a long while, sighed, and said nothing.  Just leave like this.

    Mo Rulan was stunned by his unexpected action. Before she could speak, a mysterious man who had been standing nearby wearing a cloak and looking like a bodyguard suddenly intervened.  This caused the surrounding guards to become nervous and protect Mo Rulan.

    The mysterious man first stretched out a pair of white and tender hands to show that he was harmless, then slowly opened his cloak, revealing a beautiful face.

    Mo Rulan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she opened her eyes instantly, flashing a cold light, and said coldly: "Wanyan Yunhua."

    Wanyan Yunhua¡¯s bright eyes swept across the crowd.  He even nodded to Li Quan, whose expression changed drastically.  Showing some kindness, Li Quan snorted coldly.  Turn your head.

    With a calm look, Wanyan Yunhua looked directly at Mo Rulan and said with a smile, "Master Mo, long time no see."

    Mo Rulan also calmed down at this moment, but her face looked somewhat unnatural. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up, looked directly at Wanyan Yunhua, and said sarcastically without losing any of her composure: "Princess Wanyan is unexpected in everything, and she can learn from your majesty.  To escape from the dragnet is truly amazing."

    "There, there, compared with Lord Mo, Yunhua is really ashamed and shameless." Wanyan Yunhua curled her lips slightly, showing a gentle and bright smile, "Actually, when I met with Lord Mo this time, I mainly wanted to ask Lord Mo for help.  , try to resolve the misunderstanding between Yunhua and Your Majesty, please forgive me for any offense I have offended."

    Mo Rulan frowned in displeasure. She didn't like Wanyan Yunhua at all, and was even afraid of her. What's more, the theft case of Wanyan Yunhua was so big that Zhao Yun even sent a secret envoy to deal with her. This shows the problem.  severity.

    The main purpose of this meeting with the person in charge of the Jin Kingdom was to fight against floods. When I met Wanyan Chenglin, I knew that he had a plan, but I never thought that such a thing would happen.  Mo Rulan's first thought at the moment was to stay away from this matter and not get involved.

    With this thought, Mo Rulan said lightly: "Rulan has already experienced Princess Wanyan's methods. Since your country has no sincerity in fighting the flood, I have nothing to say, so I'll take my leave!"

    Seeing Mo Rulan turn around to leave, Wanyan Yunhua hurriedly called out: "Master Mo, please be slow. Yunhua has a document here that he would like to ask Master Mo to deliver to His Majesty Zhao Yun. It concerns millions of people in both countries. Please sir."  Don't refuse." As he said this, he took out a document and tried to chase Mo Rulan, but was blocked by several guards.

    Mo Rulan's footsteps stopped slightly, her thoughts changed, she signaled the guard to take the document and left in a hurry.

    Walking onto the river embankment, Mo Rulan looked back and saw Wanyan Yunhua and Wanyan Chenglin talking about something.

    He withdrew his gaze and ordered a guard beside him: "GeneralPlease tell your Majesty the matter.  "After a pause, he took the document Wanyan Yunhua brought and handed it directly to the guard without even looking at it. "Send this to His Majesty and explain clearly what happened.  "

    The guard responded in a low voice, took the document, and disappeared into the group of guards.

    Mo Rulan rubbed her forehead tiredly, quickly put the matter out of her mind, made the worst estimate of the situation in the Kingdom of Jin, and prepared to make a new contingency plan.  The departure was too sudden, and some of the financial transactions and business arrangements in front of me were not explained, so I could only verify them one by one. My mother was too sad and was mentally overwhelmed. She had to worry about both ends, and she was tired.  Not good, the state is extremely bad. Now I can only deal with these things and write articles at the same time, and strive to restore the state before April.
