Fang Jinshi was woken up by a loud noise while he was sleeping. He rubbed his eyes and got up. The sun was already rising in the sky. He thought he drank too much last night, so he woke up at this time, and no one came to call him. Wake him up.
He walked out of the room, stood in the corridor and looked around, and saw the ** envoy from the Liao Kingdom in the distance walking towards the top of the mountain, and he didn't know where he was going. The woman below saw him waking up and hurriedly fetched him water. After washing his face and serving breakfast, Fang Jinshi ate some casually, then walked out of the courtyard and headed towards the wooden building where Chen Lujun, Shao Yun and other subordinates on Huimeng Mountain lived. Along the way, he saw that many people from the village had begun to Going down the mountain, Chen Lujun and others were ready and waiting for him to come. Shao Yun smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Fang and Leader Shi are familiar with each other. Last night I thought" Fang Jinshi smiled awkwardly and said: "Shao Brother, I have never seen Leader Shi before, and I don¡¯t know whose favor he is looking for."
Shao Yun smiled and didn't care. Chen Lujun said: "Master Wu is seeing off guests at the gate of the village. Let's go there and tell him that we should go back." Shao Yun nodded in agreement. Everyone was preparing to go down the mountain. We greeted him last night. The thin man Fang Jinshi suddenly ran over and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please take a step slowly. Chief Shi has invited you."
Chen Lujun glanced at Shao Yun and said, "Since the leader has summoned us, let's go and thank Leader Shi for his warm hospitality." Shao Yun had no reason to object, so Fang Jinshi and the brothers on Huimeng Mountain They followed the thin man to the back mountain. The place where Shi Bin lived was extremely ordinary. It only had a tall gatehouse and ordinary decoration of the house, but it was a big place. Everyone from Huimeng Mountain waited in the courtyard for a short while. Shi Bin Then he appeared on the second floor and said to everyone: "Brothers, please come up."
Chen Lujun took the more than 20 brothers up to the second floor. In front of it was a hall. The hall was not small, but there were not many things and it seemed empty. There was a pot of square stone on a simple desk. The flower with the name is half dead and no one has watered it. There is a wine jar and a large bowl on the desk, and there are several empty wine jars on the ground.
Behind the desk is a semi-couch, covered with a piece of tiger skin. It's possible that Shi Bin didn't feel hot even on such a hot day. He was sitting on the tiger skin, with Yelu Hongniao standing behind him and her. She was still wearing the green clothes, with a dull expression and a fake smile on her face. When everyone came in, she just glanced at them casually and lowered her head.
When Fang Jinshi saw her there, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Everyone on Huimeng Mountain saluted Shi Bin and said, "I've seen Chief Shi."
Shi Bin laughed, stood up and said: "Brothers, why do you need so many gifts? The reception was not good yesterday. I hope brothers will be more considerate."
Shao Yun stepped forward and said: "Shahu Mountain is the largest village in the northwest. The scene last night has opened the eyes of our brothers on Huimeng Mountain. Leader Shi is so polite." Shi Bin smiled and said: " The brothers from Shahushan will leave soon. The name of this largest stronghold in the northwest will belong to the brothers in Huimengshan from now on. Brothers, please help Leader Zhang more in the future, and don¡¯t let other strongholds give it to them. Snatched."
Shao Yun said: "Of course, I would also like to congratulate Mr. Shi on behalf of my elder brother for his success." Shi Bin nodded and smiled, turned around and took Yelu Hongniao's hand, and said with a smile: "I even snatched other people's women. If I don¡¯t succeed immediately when I come to be the wife of Aizhai, I¡¯d be really sorry for my husband.¡±
As he spoke, he brought Yelu Hongniao's hand to his mouth and kissed it. Fang Jinshi obviously saw her frown slightly, but the smile on her face never stopped.
Yelu Hongniao waited for Shi Bin to raise his head and said with a smile: "Master Shi, don't say that. I was too young and ignorant back then, and I betrayed my trust and didn't recognize heroes. Now I know I was wrong. From now on, I will definitely Serve the big boss with all your heart." Shi Bin smiled with satisfaction, put his arm around her waist and said, "This way I can fight the Jurchens with peace of mind."
Fang Jinshi knew that Yelu Hongniao was a fake, but she could only do this. It can be seen that her life in the future would be very difficult, but if she had to sacrifice her own life in exchange for Shi Bin's 7,000 men from Shahushan to fight for the Liao Dynasty, , I believe that no matter how difficult it is, she will be able to withstand it. He used to be hostile to the people of the Liao people, including the red girl, but now he admires this Liao woman who dared to sacrifice in his heart.
Chen Lujun saw that it was almost done and stepped forward and said, "I wonder if Chief Shi has any other instructions?" Shi Bin turned around and looked at the subordinates of Tao Huimeng Mountain standing behind him and said, "I wonder which one is Brother Fang?" Everyone looked at Fang Jinshi. Fang Jinshi took a step forward and saluted, saying, "Come into the stone below. What are your orders, Chief Shi?"
Shi Bin looked at him and nodded: "Well, it's nothing. I hope I can have a few drinks with you next time." Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't recognize Fang Jinshi, but he gave him such honor and wanted to invite him to drink. Even Zhang Zong'e is nothing more than this.
FangJin Shi was also surprised. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy that Chief Shi invited me to drink. It's just that I haven't met Chief Shi before, right?"
Shi Bin laughed and said, "So you don't know yet. Well, I'll wait until you know it next time. Everyone, please go back and ask Chief Zhang for your safety." Shao Xing and others hurriedly bowed and prepared to exit. Go downstairs.
Yelu Hongniao suddenly shouted: "Everyone, wait a minute." She turned back to Shi Bin and said: "Big boss, I know that brother Fang."
Shi Bin turned around and said "Oh" and said, "Do you know him?" Yelu Hongniao paused and said, "When I was captured by the army and imprisoned in the Jingyuan Army's grain and grass camp, this man Brother Fang was also trapped here, and he helped me plead with the officers and soldiers for mercy."
Shi Bin looked at Fang Jinshi and smiled: "Really? What a coincidence."
Fang Jinshi was shocked at first when he heard Yelu Hongniao suddenly say that he knew him. When he went up the mountain, he was worried that Yelu Hongniao would be embarrassed because Fang Jin had seen that officer molesting her, but he didn't want Yelu Hongniao to do so. Suddenly, she took the initiative to say that she knew him, and also fabricated that she had helped her plead for mercy. For a moment, she didn't understand what Yelu Hongniao meant, so she could only say awkwardly: "Yes, I happened to be caught by the army for some trivial matters and locked up there."
Yelu Hongniao said to Shi Bin: "I have always been very grateful to this little brother for saying a word for me. I didn't expect to meet him here. Big boss, I would like to offer him a bowl of wine to express my gratitude, okay?"
Shi Bin chuckled and said, "Of course you can. I didn't expect you to beat me to it just now when I said I wanted to drink with him." Yelu Hongniao smiled brightly, walked over, took the big bowl from the table, and poured the wine into the jar. He took a bowl of wine, held it in both hands, walked up to Fang Jinshi and said, "This brother Fang is from Huimeng Mountain, right?"
Fang Jinshi snorted and thought to himself: "Isn't this nonsense? I am with the people on Huimeng Mountain, of course I am from there."
He reached out to take the wine bowl, but suddenly he saw a small piece of paper exposed between Yelu Hongniao's index finger and the wine bowl. It turned out that she had hidden a secret message in her hand and wanted to give it to Fang Jinshi. No wonder she held the big bowl with both hands. Rather than holding it.
There was a smile on her face, and there was nothing unusual about it. Fang Jinshi hurriedly took the wine bowl, secretly slipped the small piece of paper into his hand, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and said: "Big boss The wine on the mountain is indeed strong enough. Thank you, big boss, for the wine." Shi Bin chuckled and said, "If you like it, I will send someone to deliver some jars to your house." Fang Jinshi was slightly startled and said, "Thank you, big boss." ¡±
Everyone on Huimeng Mountain came down from Shahu Mountain and came all the way to Huimeng Mountain. Shao Xing asked Fang Jinshi: "It seems that Leader Shi really favors brother Fang. Did he really not know him before?" Fang Jinshi was busy. Shao Xing said: "I really didn't know him before, and I have always wondered how he could think so highly of me." Shao Xing said: "Maybe some of Brother Fang's relatives, friends, and teachers know him, and I just don't know about him."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "My relatives, friends and teachers are all in Jiangnan. How can I know him? Well, I have to ask Leader Shi next time I see him."
A few people were chatting and hurried forward. Fang Jinshi hid in a tree under the pretext of peeing. He took out the small piece of paper that Yelu Hongniao gave him. He opened it and was a little disappointed. There were strange square characters written on it, But he didn't know any of them, so he thought they were Khitan characters.
Only then did Fang Jinshi think that Yelu Hongniao asked him if he came from Huimeng Mountain, implying that he would give this letter to her husband Xiao Kuohai. It turned out that she already knew that Xiao Kuohai had arrived in Shaanxi during the Song Dynasty. On League Mountain, she asked Fang Jinshi to forward this letter to him, but she never expected that just before Fang Jinshi left, he had already encouraged and persuaded Xiao Kuohai to return to Daliao.
Fang Jinshi put the letter away and returned to Huimeng Mountain while chatting and laughing with his brothers in Huimeng Mountain. During the journey, it was already dark, so Fang Jinshi had no choice but to stay at the west village of Huimeng Mountain. During dinner time, Huang Jinmian personally brought the food to him. She put the food on the table and turned around and said, "How is it? This trip to Shahu Mountain, what do you have to say?"
Fang Jinshi could hear a bit of teasing in her tone. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a lot to say, but" He paused deliberately to show off, and Huang Jinmian said, "But what?"
Fang Jinshi turned around and said: "In my opinion, you must be careful about Shi Bin. He is by no means a person who is willing to sacrifice his life for others." Huang Jinmian smiled and said: "Everyone knows this, doesn't he go to Daliao? "
Fang Jinshi shook his head and said, "It seems like he will definitely go." Huang Jinmian said, "Then it's done. Is it possible that he could have surrendered to the Jurchens when he arrived in the Liao Kingdom?"
Fang Jinshi said: "This may not be impossible to happen." Huang Jinmian said with some confusion: "What are the benefits of him voting for the Jurchens? Shi Bin hasAmbition, where will he show off if he invests in the Kingdom of Jin? Moreover, the Jurchens are now extremely short of food and grass. It is impossible for him to bring food and grass with him when he enters the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom has to send him food and grass to fight. Do you think his soldiers do not eat and his horses do not eat grass? "
After a burst of competition from her, Fang Jinshi couldn't argue with her, so he had to keep his mouth shut. Huang Jinmian saw that he had given up, and asked again: "Are you going to see the young master first tomorrow, or will you go home to see your bride first?"
She seemed to have a deep prejudice against Liang Cuirong and always brought it up intentionally or unintentionally. Fang Jinshi said, "I'll go home first tomorrow."
"You're really promising," Huang Jinmian said. She turned around and walked out. Fang Jinshi touched the letter in his arms and wanted to call her out, but in the end he still didn't speak.
