Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Then he returned with glory, on the surface he made contributions to the peace between Song and Liao, but in fact he sought benefits for Liao.However, Song Huizong thought that Cai Jing had made great contributions, so he was promoted to the governor of a country, and he has been on the rise ever since.

Strictly speaking, Cai Jing has the handle in the hands of the high-level leaders of the Liao Kingdom, because as long as someone in the high-level Liao Kingdom reveals the truth of that negotiation, even if Cai Jing is not beheaded, he will be beaten to the end.Therefore, Cai Jing has always been afraid of the Liao Kingdom.

Of course Xiao Feng didn't want to use this matter to threaten Cai Jing, unless Cai Jue was really against Daliao.So instead, he said respectfully: "The grand master is responsible, but we have no choice but to meet you as soon as possible. General Yelu Dashi has been inviting the grand master a few days ago, but unfortunately the grand master didn't give us a chance."

Cai Jiong frowned, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?"

Xiao Feng was also surprised: "That's strange, our people contacted Zhai Qian, didn't Zhai Qian tell you?"

Cai Jing's face darkened, he pondered for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Let's not talk about this, anyway, you have seen me now, tell me, what is your purpose here?"

Without waiting for Xiao Feng to answer, he went on to say: "Could it be that your Emperor Tianzuo also wants to increase the old currency? This is not easy to handle. Right now, Xixia has angered the officials because of its insatiable greed and loud mouth. We will soon Xixia has been conquered, and the military expenses have not been raised yet."

Xiao Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Master, you think too much. I didn't come here for this matter. If we really want to talk about the old currency, we can even consider giving Song some relief, in order to deepen the friendship between the two countries."

"Huh?" Cai Jing was in a daze. When did the Liao Kingdom become so talkative?Puzzled: "Then why did you come to me?"

Xiao Feng said slowly: "We just want you, Grand Master, to stand firm and continue to protect the relationship between the two countries from being destroyed!"

Cai Jing raised his eyebrows: "Destroy? Who dares to destroy the relationship between Song and Liao? Isn't he afraid of provoking a war and being killed? It's really daring! This old man has always taken it as his duty to maintain the good neighborliness and friendship between Song and Liao. Should have known."

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "As for who wants to destroy the relationship between our two countries, you will know when they come to you. At that time, please honor what you said today. What's more, in the future If I want to see the grand master, I hope the grand master can give me convenience."

Cai Jingdao: "I can only say that as long as you are not in the team of Liao Kingdom envoys, I can give you this convenience. You can come to my house as a guest at any time. By the way, are you and Bai Sheng really husband and wife?"

Xiao Feng didn't answer immediately, thinking that if Bai Sheng was really Li Qingzhao's cousin, then it would be more convenient for her to live in Bianjing for a long time as Bai Sheng's wife as a cover, and she could go in and out of the Grand Master's Mansion at any time, so she nodded: "Really yes."

Outside the courtyard gate, Wanyan Wulu saw that Bai Sheng was just admiring the surrounding scenery with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help asking: "You said you would give me advice, but you really said it."

Bai Sheng made a look, meaning did you not see the two maids beside him, and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll tell you when it's convenient for you."

In fact, Bai Sheng really didn't intend to help Wanyan Wulu.The result of helping the people of the Jin Kingdom was the destruction of the Liao Kingdom, and then the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a historical process known to all people on earth in later generations. You don’t need to study history, just watch TV dramas or martial arts novels about Water Margin and Yue Fei.

It was only a few words before and after, Xiao Feng said goodbye, looked at Wanyan Wulu with a victorious attitude, "Let's go husband, let's go to eat."

Wanyan Wulu was puzzled, is Bai Sheng and Xiao Feng a fake couple?If they were really husband and wife, wouldn't they be stupid if they still expected Bai Sheng's help?

Bai Sheng didn't care what Wanyan Wulu was thinking, but warmly embraced Xiao Feng's fragrant shoulders, and took the lead to move away from Li Qingzhao and other four daughter-in-law Xu, and then whispered extremely fiercely: "Where is the antidote? Give it to me!"

Xiao Feng smiled like a flower, took out a small bottle from her sleeve, and quietly stuffed it into Bai Sheng's hand, "Thank you for helping me, I will give you the last three pills, you can still save a Guo Sheng and a Yan Poxi."

"What? There are only three pills? You're kidding me!" Bai Sheng was furious. If what Xiao Feng said was true, then Guo Sheng's seven brothers would all be lost.As far as this is concerned, he hasn't considered the dozen or so lives of Yan Zongwang, Jin Wushu, and Jindingmen warriors.

Xiao Feng said aggrievedly: "Why did I trick you? Do you think this antidote is blown by a strong wind? I can't make any poison or antidote. They were all left to my master by that surnamed Ding back then. Speaking of the quantity of the antidote is far from enough. He said that if you want to kill, why save it? If you don’t want to kill you, don’t poison you?”

She didn't lie, the poison Kuxuesan was indeed poisonous enough to cause poisoning to many people with only a small dose dissolved in liquid, but the antidote could only be one pill to revive one victim.In this world, it is easy to harm others and difficult to save others.

Bai Sheng was silent. He felt that Xiao Feng's remarks were indeed reasonable, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Guo Sheng's seven brothers. In addition, he felt that if he used these three antidotes on Guo Sheng, Pan Jinlian, and Yan Poxi's body is quite unworthy of Wanyan Zongwang.

Thinking of this, he let go of the hand on Xiao Feng's shoulder, turned around and looked at Yan Wulu, only to see Wanyan Wulu walking at the end of the group, looking unhappy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It is conceivable that if she returned to the inn and found that her brother and brother were unconscious again, she would be very anxious, and when she finally saw these two relatives pass away, she would definitely be extremely painful.

He shook his head, trying to get these sympathies out of his mind, did Wanyan Zong hope to get him to sympathize?

He didn't know that as long as Wanyan Zongwang died of the poison of Kuxuesan, the history of Jin's destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty would be rewritten, because Wanyan Zongwang was the commander of the Jin Kingdom in the battle that destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty.From this point of view, it is a good thing for Wanyan Zongwang to die now, at least it is a good thing for the monarchs, ministers and people of the Song Dynasty.

What he doesn't know is that the turning point in history here is precisely because of his soul wear.If he was still the old Bai Sheng, then he would just succumb to Ruan Xiaowu's fists and obediently collect money to pay off the debt.But he will not meet Li Qingzhao, let alone take Xiao Feng to pass the customs in Tangyin.Then there would be no such thing as Wanyan Zongwang being poisoned.

Chapter 91

The life of Cai Jing’s family is really extravagant. This conclusion can be drawn no matter from the scale of the Taishi Mansion’s land area, outdoor gardens, and interior decoration, or from the huge team of servants in the mansion.

Let's compare it with the modern people of later generations, how big can the dining room for families of later generations be?No matter how rich a family is, it's impossible to create a cafeteria-like restaurant at home, right?But Cai Jing owns a food garden that is even more exaggerated than a cafeteria!

The food garden is a garden, and if the area is estimated, the unit can only be mu.In the vast garden, surrounded by flowers and trees, there are dozens of pavilions. There are stone tables and chairs in the pavilions, which can be used for host and guest to have meals in summer.

Probably because it is already early winter, today's luncheon was not held in these gazebos, but in the houses around the garden.Those houses are surrounded by the low wall of the garden, and there may not be hundreds of them.

After entering the food court, the two maids turned back, and a steward in the food court continued to lead Bai Sheng's "family".According to the steward's introduction, some of these houses are used for kitchens, some are used for servants to eat, and the rest is the dining room for the master and guests to eat.

When passing the kitchen, Bai Sheng followed the steward's guidance and saw that there were nameplates pasted on the doors of dozens of rooms belonging to the kitchen, saying "Sichuan cuisine", "Fujian cuisine", "Zhejiang cuisine", "Cantonese cuisine", "Lu cuisine" Vegetables", "Soup Room", "Porridge Room", "Buns", "Scallion Room", "Meat Stuffing Room", "Seasoning Room" and so on.

"What is this scallion room for? Is scallion also a dish?" Xiao Feng couldn't help being curious, and asked.

The steward said: "This shredded onion room is dedicated to shredded onions. A total of four people are responsible for the supply of shredded onions for three meals a day. They are cut according to the requirements given by the chefs, and there are servants who are responsible for delivering the dishes. In every chef's room."

Xiao Feng was even more surprised, "Isn't it enough to cut everything on this onion? Why is there a request?"

The steward smiled and said, "The types of onions used in various dishes are different. For example, stewed dishes need to use chopped green onions, stir-fried dishes need chopped green onions, stir-fried vegetables need shredded green onions, and steamed buns and dumplings need chopped green onions."

"Then it doesn't take four people, right? How many green onions do you have to chop in a day?"

"Four people are not enough. For example, today, there are hundreds more guests than usual. These four people are too busy to keep up, and they have to be recruited from people outside the kitchen."

Walking all the way, the smell of all kinds of aromas is mouth-watering, and Bai Sheng can't help feeling a little greedy, even though he has already eaten a chicken before coming here.

Originally, he didn't plan to have dinner at Cai's mansion, he wished he could go back and give Guo Sheng and Pan Yan two daughters an antidote.But because of Wanyan Wulu, he had to eat first before making any plans. He was worried that Wanyan Wulu would follow him all the time, and he would never be able to treat his brother and family members in front of Wanyan Wulu.

So his real purpose of coming to the Food Court was to sneak away while there were so many people, so as to get rid of Wanyan Wulu's following.

While Xiao Feng was chatting with the steward, he looked back quietly, and saw Wanyan Wulu was still thinking about his thoughts and slowly walking behind, farther away from him and Li Xiao and his two daughters, suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

"Look! Isn't this the Mr. Bai who is with Bai Lu? Let's see where the Grand Master arranges for him to have dinner."

People's voices came from the next room, and through the open door, the guests who came to give gifts were talking.

"It's definitely not the same as us. I heard that they gave away priceless treasures. I guess the grand master will arrange for them to go to Tianranju."

"Look, that Xiao Feng is also walking with him, this beauty really has a way."

"Huh? Isn't that Li Qingzhao from Zhao Mingcheng's family? Why is she also with Mr. Bai?"

"Where's Zhao Mingcheng? It would be interesting if Zhao Mingcheng saw it. It's very interesting."

"Zhao Mingcheng is not in our room, and the gifts he gave are also heavy gifts. At least he will be on the first floor of Tianranju, right?"

Tianranju is the only building in the Food Court, it is four floors high, and when eating on the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in the garden.

The steward has already said that Taishi Cai arranged for Bai Sheng and the others to have dinner in Tianranju today.

He continued to walk through more than a dozen dining rooms, and gained all kinds of envy and hatred from the court officials. Bai Sheng stood in front of the door of Tianranju. There is a big gilt character, and a pair of couplets are pasted on both sides of the door: the first couplet is "Ke Shang Tian Tian Ju", and the second couplet is "Shang Tian Ke".

Before entering the door, I heard someone on the bottom floor talking, it was Zhao Mingcheng's voice: "Why don't you believe it? That person is not a rich man at all, he is a troublemaker born from poor mountains and rivers, called Bai Sheng, just last night , he doesn’t even have the money to stay in the inn! He still wants to spend the night at my house!”

"Brother Mingcheng, don't blame brother bluntly, brother really can't believe it. You said he is a mountain villager, but he can sit with us in Tianzihao and rank first. Is this fake? He was retained by the grand master Is the summoning also fake?"

"That's right, brother Mingcheng, don't talk about it. We don't believe it even if you tell me about a flower that everyone has seen."
