Chapter 132

There are many people with the surname Yun in Jianning County, but when it comes to the Yun family in Jianning, everyone will only think of the house in Jiang'an County;
There are many Su families in Yunmeng Prefecture, but when mentioning the Su family in Yunmeng, everyone will only think of the Wubao by the Dongting Lake;
There are also many bamboo forests in this world, but if bamboo forests are used to refer to a place or a family, then everyone will turn their attention to the huge bamboo forest in the east of Zhongjing City.

Because in the bamboo forest, there lived an old man.

This old man represents the bamboo forest.

In the future, if a young man can take over this heavy banner, the glory of the bamboo forest can continue for decades.

If it can't be picked up, the bamboo forest may become just a bamboo forest again.

The old people who can represent the bamboo forest sit in the bamboo forest, and the young people who will represent the bamboo forest walk into the bamboo forest.

Seeing his grandson coming in, the old man was not surprised, nor did he ask in doubt. He smiled and nodded to the bamboo chair opposite, "Sit down and have some tea."

Jiang Yuhu put on a show in front of tens of thousands of people, but he didn't dare to show off in front of his grandfather who he admired the most and regarded as his idol all his life. He took out the letter paper from his pocket, "I read an article today, it was very good, and I want to show it to my grandfather."

The old man laughed and straightened the thin blanket on his knees. The wrinkles on his face were deep and horizontal, like the engravings of the mountains and rivers he had crossed in his lifetime. "You help grandpa read."

Jiang Yuhu picked up the letter paper, cleared his throat for the first time, and began to chant.

".Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in the temple, you will worry about your people. If you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler. Worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world later."

When he finished reading, he found that his grandfather had fallen into silent thinking.

He waited quietly, knowing that the old man reached out and took the few pieces of letter paper.

"The word Jin Jiancheng is written too ugly."

"My grandson thinks so too."

"Xia Jingyun, is that the boy from Sishui Prefecture you mentioned earlier?"

"Well, there are very few people who are not trash."

The old military god smiled and glanced at his grandson, his old eyes seemed to understand everything.

He smiled, "Yueyang Tower, Dongting Lake, Su Family, hehe, it's pretty good, it deserves these few words."

Jiang Yuhu said softly: "If the grandson's expectations are not bad, his trip will definitely benefit the Su family. If he can get the support of the Su family and the protection of Concubine De, this court may have another pillar."

The old military god put down the letter paper, and if he had a deep meaning, he said: "It is a towering tree when it grows up, and it can only be used as firewood if it dies halfway."

Jiang Yuhu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately snorted coldly.
-
In the southern suburbs of the capital, that mysterious house.

The black cloak was no longer by the pool. The noble and mysterious man was wearing a thin shirt, sitting in a warm room, facing a chessboard in front of him, playing music quietly.

A man walked to the door, took a look, and quickly stood aside with his hands tied, waiting for the other party to stop before opening his mouth softly.

"Lord."

"What's the matter?"

"A text came from Yunmeng State."

The man raised his eyebrows. It was not an ordinary text that was worthy of this confidant speaking to him, so he stretched out his hand.

After taking a look, he fell into silence.

After a moment of silence, he said, "How much has it been damaged in Yunmeng State?"

"Two of the core staff were lost. The one who poisoned the boss of the Su family and the one who stayed next to the fourth son of the Su family were both found. Don't worry, my lord, both of them have committed suicide by taking poison. The one who assassinated the third son of the Su family and blamed the second son of the Su family escaped instead. But the rest of our forces in Yunmeng State and the Su family's operations were severely damaged. There was a big cleansing inside the Su family, and many of our hidden chess pieces in Yunmeng State were also found out."

The man looked at his lord's face, this time it was rare for the lord to miss twice in a row since he was in charge, and it was all because of one person.

He summoned up his courage, "My lord, it's that Xia Jingyun who spoiled our good deeds again this time. And I heard that Miss Su's family has a lot of love for her, so he can follow this path to control the Su's family. In addition, he wrote such articles, should we take some measures?"

"What are your plans?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "Do you want to try to do it?"

The man was silent for a moment, "Of course he can be killed. His identity is nothing to worry about."

"Then this subordinate will make arrangements?"

"Give it a try." The man picked up a chess piece and put it in his hand to play with. "But remember, don't make too much noise. Your Majesty has noticed us now. A few days ago, the dog of Heibingtai had already jumped to one of Chiji's henchmen. Although that henchman died in time, it is hard to guarantee that Heibingtai didn't get any clues."

The man's heart trembled, he nodded quickly, and then he hesitated: "But if you don't use too many things, I'm afraid you can't kill him?"

"It's okay."

The man threw the chess piece back into the chess jar, "Put him in the capital, and I will play him to death."

"Master is mighty!"
-
Xia Jingyun didn't know that the aftermath of a piece of "Yueyang Tower" had reached Zhongjing City, and he didn't know that he was about to face the disaster of killing himself. He was standing under the city wall of Yunmengzhou City, dazed.

When he came to this world, he had gradually gotten used to the height of this world, and he felt that the city of Sishui was considered a majestic city.

But now standing under the state city of Yunmengzhou, he knew what a city of hundreds of battles is.

The dark wall looks like cold iron hammered out with thousands of hammers, and it looks like a giant beast repeatedly rolling in the mud to dry the condensed armor on its body. Coupled with the majestic height and neat military facilities, it is enough to make any invader retreat.

"Mr. Su, brother Gao Yang, look at this impregnable city, there are still many under the sun, all of which are heavily guarded by the imperial court, but there are so many wastes saying that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to disappear, it is really ridiculous!"

Bai Yunbian pointed proudly at the city wall of Yunmengzhou City, and spoke loudly.

That’s not necessarily the case, I’ll tell you the story of Da Qin and Da Sui later.
After being told by Bai Yunbian, Xia Jingyun's originally dazed heart became worried again.

A strong army and a strong city have never been the real reliance of a dynasty.

People's hearts are.

Obviously, Daxia has lost a lot of popular support.

He and Su Yuanshang looked at each other, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

There is a long way to go!
Sighing, everyone followed Bai Yunbian and walked into Yunmengzhou City along with the bustling crowd.

After entering the city, the people did not hang around, but went directly to the Changshi Mansion.

Together with Bai Yunbian, they paid homage to Bai Changshi.

Su Yuanshang and Bai Changshi have a good relationship. Although Su Yuanshang has resigned from office and returned to his hometown, Bai Changshi did not show any arrogance in a snobbish manner. He still left him for a private chat and gave him enough respect.

And Bai Yunbian, who has been away from home for many days, naturally wants to pay his respects to his mother.

Xia Jingyun had nothing to do, so he and Chen Fugui took a brief stroll in the city.

After about an hour, the two went back.

Chen Fugui frowned, "My lord, why do I feel that the atmosphere in this mansion is different?"

Xia Jingyun also felt that something was strange, so he brought over a servant, and instead of asking directly, he asked, "Where is Mr. Bai?"

The servant bowed his head in silence, cupped his hands, and hurried away.

Xia Jingyun felt that something was wrong, and hurried back to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying. Seeing that Su Yuanshang was still sitting leisurely in the courtyard, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Su, is there anything going on in the house?"

Su Yuanshang put down the teacup, "Why do you ask like that?"

"I just found a young man to ask about Mr. Bai's whereabouts, but he didn't dare to answer."

Su Yuanshang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This kid is kneeling in the ancestral hall now!"

"what?"

Xia Jingyun's pupils trembled, "What did he do?"

"It's not a big deal, I had a fight with his father."

"Why are you arguing?"

"He wanted to go to Beijing with you, but Bai Changshi probably didn't want to get too involved with Concubine De at this time, so he asked him to set off with the state school students later. Then the two quarreled, and Bai Changshi felt that he didn't know the general rules, did his own way, and was impulsive and reckless.

"Going to the ancestral hall to kneel for punishment just for this? Isn't that a little too much?"

Su Yuanshang glanced at him, "Do you know why he responded?"

Xia Jingyun showed curiosity.

"Old man, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!"

Xia Jingyun's head was full of black lines, and he silently supported his forehead.

　Sorry for the late update today.
