C1069Chapter [-] Who does the shadow go to?

The lights in the room were still warm, pancakes were spread in the pan, and everyone ate some.

They talked, feeling the night go by outside.There are various topics, but most of them avoid places that may be scars, such as Cheng Min's "job" in Shangjing, such as Lu Mingfang.

Tang Minjie told Cheng Min about some of his life in Liangshan in the southwest. At that time, the Huaxia Army had just withdrawn to the southwest, and the news of Mr. Ning's death came out again. The situation was quite embarrassing, including dealing with various people near Liangshan, and he was also trembling. Yes, the Huaxia Army was almost forced to split.During that most difficult time, relying on will and hatred, everyone took root in the vast mountains, opened up woodland, built houses, and built roads...

"...The mountains in the southwest, after looking at them for a long time, are actually very interesting... At first, I couldn't eat enough to eat, so I didn't have much mood to look at them. There are deep mountains and old forests over there. There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It's just annoying to watch. But Later, when I was able to catch my breath, I liked to stay in the watchtower on the mountain. At a glance, it was full of trees, but there were countless things hidden in it. Sunny days, rainy days... the weather is amazing. Others say that Leshan is the benevolent , The wise man enjoys the water, because the mountains do not change, but the water changes forever. In fact, the mountains in the southwest really change countlessly...there are many fruits in the mountains, and only I have eaten..."

Cheng Min is from the Central Plains. He was taken captive to the Northland when he was a girl. He has never seen the mountains in the southwest, nor the water in the south of the Yangtze River.The night of waiting for changes seemed long, so she asked Tang Minjie about these things. Tang Minjie said in bits and pieces that she was also listening with great interest, and she didn't know if she was like this when facing Lu Mingfang. Looking curious.

Sometimes she also asked about Ning Yi: "Have you seen that Mr. Ning?"

Tang Minjie shook his head: "I haven't seen it."

"No, that's a pity." Cheng Min said, "If I defeat the Jurchen in the future, if I can go south, I want to go to the southwest to meet him. He is really amazing."

"Old Lu told you?"

Cheng Min nodded: "He told me some things about Mr. Ning back then, like leading a few people to kill 5 people in Liangshan, which was later called the heart demon. Also, he was very skilled in martial arts, and people in the world listened to him Hearing his name, everyone is terrified. Recently, I sometimes think that if Mr. Ning came here, he would not be helpless looking at this situation."

Tang Minjie smiled slightly: "Mr. Ning also brought dozens of people with him when he went to Liangshan, and he had already prepared internal responses before he went. Besides, Mr. Ning's martial arts..."

He paused for a moment, Cheng Min turned to look at him, and then heard him say: "... according to legend, it is indeed very high."

"So, if Mr. Ning comes here, maybe he can secretly attack and slaughter those bastards one by one." Cheng Min waved his hand like a knife, "Old Lu also said before that Zhou Yingxiong died in fact It's a pity, if we join our side and secretly come to the Northland to arrange for us to assassinate, those people in the Kingdom of Jin would have died a long time ago."

Although Cheng Min grew up in the Central Plains, and has lived in Beijing for so many years, and without the need for too much disguise, her inner habits are actually somewhat close to those of northern women. She is beautiful, and she has a heroic air when she is straightforward. Tang Minjie nodded in agreement.

At this time, it was past midnight, and while they were talking, the two of them were still paying attention to the movement outside, and after a few words, the night outside suddenly shook, and it was unknown who fired a cannon from a very far away place. , The sound passed through the low sky and spread throughout Shangjing.

Tang Minjie and Cheng Min stood up abruptly and rushed out the door.

"We're going to fight..."

Tang Minjie murmured, his face turned a little rosy, Cheng Min grabbed his tattered sleeve, and shook it twice: "Something's going to happen, something's going to happen..."

They stood in the yard looking at the dark night sky. The already quiet night around them gradually became agitated. I don't know how many people lit up their lamps and were awakened from the darkness.It was as if someone had thrown a pebble in a calm pond, and the waves were pushing away.

"Wrap the remaining pancakes. If the army enters the city and starts burning, something may happen..."

"The best result is that the two prefectures of the East and the West will directly start fighting each other. Even if they are close, if Zong Qian and Zong Pan fight head-on, the Kingdom of Jin will be in great trouble..."

"Although it is a civil strife, it is unlikely that the entire capital will be directly burned, killed and looted. I am afraid that it will not be controlled tonight... there is no need to run away..."

Tang Minjie babbled, thinking about various possibilities, and went back to the room and went out to the yard. Although he had frostbite on his body, he didn't feel any cold at this moment. When Cheng Min closed the door, he said: "Put on your hat when you go out, and calm down." Only then did he calm down a little.

He still couldn't help but say, "Do you know that as long as there is internal strife between the eastern and western prefectures of the Kingdom of Jin, the day when our Huaxia Army will destroy the Great Jin can be brought forward at least five years. Tens of thousands...or even hundreds of thousands of people will die less. He couldn't hold back the cannon at this moment, haha..."

He suppressed a short laugh, looking a little weird in the light.Cheng Min looked at him.After a while, Tang Minjie took a deep breath and gradually returned to normal.But not long after, listening to the commotion outside, he still murmured: "We're going to fight, we're going to fight..."

"It's time to start a fight." Cheng Min agreed as he poured water for him.

……

The light of hope seemed to be hidden in a thick layer of clouds. It bloomed suddenly for a moment, but then it was slowly buried deeply.

The sound of the cannon in the middle of the night did cause a small commotion in the city, and there may even have been tragedies in some places.But I don't know why, as time went on, the riots that should have continued to expand did not continue to expand. After half of the ugly time, they even gradually subsided and disappeared invisible.

Without real information, neither Tang Minjie nor Cheng Min could analyze what happened that night. The night was quiet, and there were no more changes until dawn. The martial law in the market was lifted at some point. Cheng Min went out to check for a while, and the only thing he could be sure of was that the chill last night had completely subsided.

Why can there be such a cannon sound.Why did the two sides who were at war with each other not fight after the sound of the cannon? What happened behind the scenes?Unable to know now.

"I went back to the building to inquire about the situation. Everyone will definitely talk about such a big event last night. If there is an urgent situation, I will come here tonight. If you are not here, I will leave a note. If The situation is not urgent, and the next time we meet will be tomorrow morning... I'd better come out in the morning."

Cheng Min said so, and then said: "Actually, if you trust me, you can stay here for a few days, and it will be convenient for me to come and find you. Shangjing is not strict with black flag spies, this house should be It's still safe, maybe better than the place you rented secretly. Your hands and feet can't stand the cold."

As she spoke, she took out the key from her body and put it on the table. Tang Minjie accepted the key and nodded.As Cheng Min said before, if she voted for the Jurchen, she should be taken away by now. Although there are some golden people who can hold their breath, they will not sink to this level. Come to inquire about things.

"I'll stay here for a few days, and you...go at your own pace, protect yourself, and don't arouse suspicion."

Cheng Min nodded and left.

Tang Minjie also went to the street to observe the surrounding scene. The nervousness last night must have affected everyone in the city, but only from their words, they couldn't hear any clues.After walking for a while, it began to snow again in the sky, and white snowflakes covered everything in sight like a mist. Tang Minjie knew that Jinren must be going through earth-shaking things inside, but he couldn't think about all this.

It is also possible to wake up another intelligence officer and go to the black market to spend money to find out the situation, but in the current situation, the news may come sooner than the non-process sensitive news.Especially in the absence of an operational team, even if he knew the information, it was impossible for him to take actions that would shake the balance of the entire situation by himself.

This day was October 15, the first year of Wu Zhenxing and the 22th year of Jin Tianhui. Maybe because he didn't find out the key information, Cheng Min didn't come over the whole night.

The next day was October 23, early in the morning, Tang Minjie heard the sound of artillery.

This time it was not the sound of conflicting cannons. The regular cannons sounded like drums in the dawn sky. When the door was opened, the heavy snow was still falling outside, but the festive atmosphere gradually began to emerge.Not long after he walked the streets of Shangjing, he understood the ins and outs of the whole thing among the crowd.

Just yesterday afternoon, after discussions among the clan heads of the Dajin Wanyan Clan and Zhu Bo in the palace, Wanyan Quan, the son of Wanyan Zongjun and adopted son of Wanyan Zonggan, was finally elected as the third emperor of the Dajin Kingdom , King of the world.The year of Lili is: Tianjuan.

In the snowstorm, Tang Minjie silently listened to the preacher's reading of the event, and countless Jin people cheered in the snowstorm.The matter of the three princes seizing the throne has troubled them for many days. Wan Yanquan's coming to power means that the princes and commanders who are the pillars of the Jin Kingdom do not have to fight for each other. carry out large-scale liquidation.The prosperity of the Kingdom of Jin can be expected, and the whole world celebrates it.

That night, Cheng Min still didn't come over.It was early morning on the 24th when she came to the small courtyard. She looked tired and had bruises on her face. When Tang Minjie noticed it, she shook her head slightly.

"Those bastards drank too much last night and played too much. But thanks to them, everything was cleared up."

Tang Minjie handed over a bottle of ointment. Cheng Min looked at it and waved his hand: "How can a woman's face use this kind of thing? I have better ones." Then she began to tell what she had heard.

Wanyan Quan succeeded to the throne, and there was a lot of noise and revelry in the capital for almost a whole night. A group of nobles who went to Cheng Min's side took out the inside story in the middle and publicized it, and almost got it all out.The whole situation in the past six months since going to the capital was planned by the first emperor Wu begging to buy, and then controlled by Zong Han and Xi Yin. On the night of the 22nd, it was Zong Han and Xi Yin who personally lobbied all parties and suggested establishing a primary school. Wan Yanquan of the generation is the king, in order to break the stalemate in Beijing that may see blood at any time.

Zong Qian and Zong Pan were naturally unwilling at first, but the various nobles standing on both sides have already acted.This power struggle started with Zong Qian and Zong Pan. Originally, they could not escape a big fight. Who knew that it was Zong Han and Gu Shen's cunning schemes, turning their hands into clouds and rain, and cracked such a huge situation with a single gesture. One problem, from now on, Jin Kingdom can temporarily put aside grievances and grievances, and work together for the country.When a group of young nobles talked about this, they worshiped Zong Han and Xi Yin as gods.

At the same time, they also felt that such a powerful figure had returned home in a battle in the southwest, and the black flag in the south might be as terrifying as the two described, and sooner or later it would become a serious threat to the Kingdom of Jin.So a group of young people were drinking and reveling in the brothel, while shouting that they would definitely defeat the black flag and kill all the Han people in the future.The "black flag threat theory" brought by Zong Han and Xi Yin seems to have come true.

"...What happened to the cannon that night?" Tang Minjie asked.

"It is rumored that Zong Han taught people to set off a cannon outside the city, deliberately causing commotion." Cheng Min said, "Then forced all parties to make concessions and make peace."

Tang Minjie sat quietly on the stool in the room.Seeing that the Kingdom of Jin was going to be in chaos that night, he looked excited and couldn't suppress his emotions. At this moment, the look in his eyes turned cold, his eyes turned, and countless thoughts jumped in them.

"My enemy, the enemy's hero." Cheng Min looked at him, "Is there anything else I can do now?"

Tang Minjie looked over calmly, and spoke after a long time, with a dry voice:

"……there is none left."
