    The steward of Prince Yun's Mansion took Fang Jinshi to the attic built on the lake in the back garden. Prince Yun Zhao Kai sometimes discussed matters with his confidants here.

    Fang entered the upstairs room on Shishang, and the room was filled with the smell of oil smoke. Prince Yun, Zhao Sange, Zhao Kai, walked slowly back and forth in front of the attic painting wall with his hands behind his back. Yu Wenxuzhong was sitting with a folding fan gently shaking in his hand.  During the tea tasting, there were two or three close men who were present at the last tea party sitting on the chairs, but they were all in low spirits and even dozed off while sitting.

    The housekeeper led Fang Jinshi up. The sound of their footsteps alerted Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai turned around and saw Fang Jinshi and asked, "Why haven't you returned to Huaixi yet?" He thought that Fang Jinshi had been very obedient since he was here last time.  The obedient boy went back early.

    Fang Jinshi gave him a casual salute and said, "I'll be back in a few days. Besides, didn't Third Brother Zhao agree to let Shopkeeper Ji go back with me last time? I've never met Shopkeeper Ji."

    Zhao Kai said to the housekeeper impatiently: "Find Ji Changan and ask him to go back to Huaixi immediately." The housekeeper agreed and turned around. Fang Jinshi could tell that Zhao Kai was feeling annoyed at this time, so he relied on Zhao Kai.  Kai was a little fond of him and boldly asked, "Did third brother not sleep all night?"

    Zhao Kai said: "The Jin army is already on the bank of the Yellow River, how can they sleep?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover up the soil. When the Jin soldiers arrive, the imperial court will have its own forbidden army to fight. It's useless for Brother Zhao San to be anxious."

    Just as Zhao Kai was about to say something, footsteps sounded downstairs, and the housekeeper came up again. Zhao Kai changed his words and asked, "Are you so fast?"

    The butler said: "Ji Changan will come later. It's Brother Ninth who is here." The Ninth Brother he was talking about was naturally the Ninth Prince Kang Wang Zhao Gou.

    Zhao Kai said: "Please ask him to come up."

    The housekeeper asked the ninth brother Zhao Gou to come upstairs. Zhao Gou came up quickly with heavy steps. When he saw Zhao Kai, he said anxiously: "Third brother, the Jin soldiers are crossing the Yellow River."

    Zhao Kai nodded and said: "I know it too."

    Zhao Gou said anxiously: "The Jin army does not have a big boat, and it will take time to cross the river. Attacking halfway across the river is a God-given opportunity for our soldiers. The foothold across the river is not stable, and those who have not crossed the river cannot be reinforced. Our army will cover up and kill them at this time."  , the Jin army will definitely be defeated. If you don¡¯t fight now, what are you waiting for? You must know that the opportunity cannot be missed and don¡¯t come again. By the time all the Jin soldiers have crossed the Yellow River, it will be too late.¡±

    Zhao Kai looked at him seriously, and then said: "You think so too? Mr. Yuwen said the same thing before."

    Zhao Gou said seriously: "Anyone who has read some military books will know the truth. If we don't attack at this time, can we, the Great Song Dynasty, learn from Song Xianggong thousands of years ago?"

    Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's not that we won't fight at all. Firstly, although I am in charge of the Jing'an Army in Xiangzhou, I cannot mobilize the army without the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. Secondly, the imperial court has sent a thousand forbidden troops. He  Five hundred soldiers went to the banks of the Yellow River, and it was not without any movement.¡±

    Zhao Gou was so angry after hearing this that he couldn't help but laugh and said: "There are only 1,500 soldiers. The Jin soldiers have always been a tiger and wolf army. Isn't it okay for the Jin general to laugh at him?"

    Zhao Kai said: "The dispatch of troops must be discussed between the officials and the court ministers. Today is not the day for early court discussions, so we can only wait until tomorrow."

    Zhao Gou let out a long sigh: "Jin Bing is desperate, but he is still so rigid and indecisive. Is this a missed opportunity?"

    Zhao Kai said: "Although you and I are princes, we are also court ministers. Due to the laws and regulations of the court, there is nothing we can do about it."

    Zhao Gou had no choice but to return in defeat. At this time, the ninth brother Kang Wang was still very energetic and had the ambition to make great achievements. Fang Jinshi watched Zhao Gou go away with sadness, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. The rise and fall of the dynasty, of course,  The common man is responsible, but he is just a small ordinary citizen. Even the princes cannot change the situation. What can he do?  He is not a superman. At most, he can only see the general trend of the world more clearly than these people. How can he, with his own strength, block this surging historical trend?

    Zhao Kai waited for Zhao Gou to go away, thought for a while, and said to a strong man with sleepy eyes leaning against the wall: "Fan Kui, you go back and make preparations first."

    The man named Fan Kui perked up and immediately sat down and said, "Do you want me to defend the river in Jing'an, or enter Bianliang City?"

    Zhao Kai said: "It's just preparations to avoid panic before leaving. Without the order from the Privy Council to mobilize troops, you are not allowed to send any of your soldiers out of Xiangzhou, so as not to attract any attention."

    Fan Kui's spirit immediately went down again, he calmed down and said, "I know."

    Zhao Kai said: "That's it, you go back and rest."

    Fan Kui and two or three other generals and confidants who stayed up late said farewell to Zhao Kai listlessly and went downstairs. Ji Changan came upstairs just in front of these people. Fang Jinshi was overjoyed when he saw the acquaintance and greeted Ji Changan.  Chang'anWhen he saw him, he bowed and said, "Master Fang."

    Fang Jinshi stepped forward and hugged his shoulders affectionately: "Long time no see, you are more energetic. It seems that you are having a good time in Bianliang City."

    Ji Changan said: "It's the same everywhere, it's all the same for Third Brother." He was smooth in words and deeds, but he was much more talkative than Fang Jinshi.

    Fang Jinshi said: "Without you, Shopkeeper Ji, I've been in trouble with Cai Meng in Huaixi."

    The two of them were talking, and Zhao Kai said impatiently: "You go back and reminisce about the past. Sihai Company has important responsibilities. Let's go back as soon as possible. Don't let yourself fail."

    Ji Changan Weiwei agreed. Fang Jinshi hadn't yet said the purpose of his trip. He quickly said to Zhao Kai, "I have a small matter, and I would like to ask Third Brother Zhao for help."

    Zhao Kai asked: "What's the matter?"

    Fang Jinshi told Shi Quan and Li Xiaozhong about Qin Fu. Zhao Kai frowned and said, "Why should I talk about such a trivial matter? If they are involved for no reason, considering Qin Huizhi as a person, it will be nothing."

    Fang Jin Shi Xin said: It is because of Qin Hui and Qin Huizhi that I am worried. He did not dare to say this openly. He just said: "I am just worried. Please give me a word, Third Brother Zhao."

    Zhao Kai was very kind to his subordinates. He immediately told the general manager of his palace: "You can send a note to Xianggong Cai later and ask him to ask about it." He was talking about Cai You. Fang Jinshi said this, and after a while  rest assured.

    He and Ji Changan were about to go downstairs and leave. Zhao Kai said, "You will return to Huaidong immediately without delay. You don't have to worry about Consort Cai's place."

    With his words of "Shang Fang Bao Sword", Fang Jinshi felt a lot stronger. When he was about to leave, Zhao Kai said to him again: "For your small military position, I will ask someone later to see if there is any delegation.  At this time, if there is an enemy in the court, you must mount your horse to meet the enemy."

    Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment before slowly walking forward. Before, he had longed for a prestigious official position, but after these peaceful days, he was afraid of going to war. He was really afraid that one day, the imperial court would draft him into the army.  The battlefield.

    He couldn't say no, so he nodded and said thank you to Brother Zhao. The two of them went downstairs and out of the gate of Prince Yun's Mansion. Ji Changan said: "Master, I have to go back to prepare. Brother Zhao asked us  I'm in a hurry to get back, what are your plans?"

    Fang Jinshi looked at the plaque of Prince Yun's Mansion and said, "I still have some private matters to take care of. Shopkeeper Ji will rest for a few days. How about I send someone to invite you when I leave?"

    Ji Changan agreed and left. Fang Jinshi walked to the side door and was about to ride back when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Master Fang."

    Fang Jinshi looked for the reputation and saw Fan Kui, who was in the pavilion just now, walking from a distance. The man came closer and shouted again: "Master Fang wants to go back?"

    Fang Jinshi replied honestly: "Yes."

    Fan Kui said: "My Excellency, Fan Kui, is now serving as the Jing'an Army Observer. Brother Zhao has never formally introduced Mr. Fang to us. In fact, I have always wanted to get to know Mr. Fang. Seeing that Mr. Fang came out at this time, I think he has never eaten before."  Let¡¯s have a meal, how about I serve as a host and have a meal together?¡±

    When Fang Jinshi saw that one of his military officers had invited him to dinner, he knew without much thought that Fan Kui was thinking of Zhao Kai's promise to give each of the Jing'an Army and Fengning Army 10,000 yuan a month.  For that money, of course I have to ask Fang Jinshi for this money.

    Fang Jinshi had something on his mind and was unwilling to go out to eat with him at this time, so he said: "I still have some personal matters. I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat General Fan's meal this time. I can only find a chance next time to make amends."

    Fan Kui said: "It's just getting light at this time. Is there anything Mr. Fang has to do? Even if he has something to do, he still needs to eat. I've already informed General Chen and he has already reserved a place. Mr. Fang just wants to have breakfast together."  I won¡¯t miss the Young Master¡¯s business.¡±

    Fang Jinshi couldn¡¯t resist even thinking about it, and he always had to eat breakfast, so he had no choice but to agree.

    Fan Kui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he agreed. You must know that for an ordinary person to have such a large sum of ten thousand Song Qian every month, anyone would be happy. Although Zhao Kai agreed, he fell into the real situation.  We still have to rely on Mr. Fang. Although he won't give it right away, it is extremely important to confirm the money.

    Fan Kui accompanied Fang Jinshi to a nearby street. Although he heard that Jin Bing was approaching, Bianliang City was still prosperous at this time. There were several exquisite restaurants on this street. The two of them had just walked to the street.  He asked the waiter to come all the way to welcome the two of them to a restaurant called Wankelou.

    Before Fang Jinshi entered the door, Chen Jiachou, the observation envoy of the Fengning Army, came out with a smile. It turned out that he and Fan Kui had discussed it. When Fan Kui saw Fang Jinshi in the pavilion, heHe sent someone to inform Chen Jiachou that both of them had the same purpose, to secure the 10,000 Song coins from Fang Jinshi.

    Of course, the God of Wealth must be accompanied by a smile. Although it was breakfast, and Fang Jinshi had repeatedly stated that he did not want to drink in the morning, the two observers who could not resist the hospitality served a table full of dishes and exquisite Huadiao wine.

    Fang Jinshi had no choice but to accompany the two of them to have some wine. Naturally, the matter of ten thousand yuan came up during the dinner. Fang Jinshi promised the two that he would follow Brother Zhao's arrangement and give money to the Jing'an Army and Fengning Army.  , what Chen Fan wanted was his words.

    The three of them ate for half an hour. When Fang Jinshi saw that they were done, he was about to stand up and leave. He heard someone outside say: "Well, you are a good observer. The Jin soldiers have arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, but you still have the heart to have a drink here."  .¡±

    The man's voice was not loud, but very loud. Fang Jinshi looked back when he heard the sound, and saw a burly young officer walking in from outside. This officer looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a ruddy complexion, and walked with a windy step.  His steps were very big and he looked very energetic.

    If there is anything bad about this man, it is that his eyes are one big and one small, and they do not look very coordinated. When Fang Jinshi saw this man, he suddenly remembered that he had seen this officer before.
