Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at Song Wu. No one thought that this young man with a profound background would actually have such an ambition in his heart. Especially Yu Wenzhi, he just wished he could rub his eyes hard.
. Stared at the other party for a while, then grinned and praised sourly: "I can't believe how smart you are, kid! You have to think clearly, going out this time is not a joke. If you don't do it well, even
There is no one to help you clean up the bones and debris!"
"I know, let's use your verbosity! Just take care of yourself!" Song Wu smiled and rolled his eyes at Yu Wenzhi, as if he thought the other party looked down on him. Then, he turned his eyes to Wang Xun and raised his hand.
He asked in a somewhat consultative tone: "Brother Mingyun won't think that my younger brother's skills are low, right? After all, we were beaten in a big camp!"
At this moment, Wang Xun's heart was also in turmoil. He smiled and returned the favor as a friend, "How dare you! Wang can't ask for it!"
Since the other party had an elder brother who was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was also a close associate of Yang Guozhong, his attitude towards Song Wu had always been relatively cold. However, the other party always followed Yu Wenzhi and frequently showed his kindness to him, and he was patient with fellow Chang'an fellows.
, were trained together at Baimabao, so his attitude towards Song Wu could not be too distant. But what Wang Xun never expected was that when he was so depressed that he was about to go out to avoid trouble, Song Wu would actually ask to be with him.
Peers.
Don't look at it, everyone said it easy, and they joined all the countries in the Western Region to expel the food together. After it is completed, there will be a miraculous feat for everyone to share. In fact, the chance of success of this trip is less than 20%. A little while on the way
If you are not careful, your bones may be buried in an unknown place for the rest of your life, and even your soul may not be able to return home.
With Song Wu's current background, there is really no need to take this risk. Even if he works in the Anxi army to manage food, grass and supplies, a few years later, with the relationship between his brother and Yang Guozhong, he will not worry about getting ahead. Besides, he has formed a team with Wang Xun.
, which means that he has put himself on the opposite side of Bian Lingcheng and others. Even though Bian Lingcheng is afraid of the power of Zhongshusheren Song Yu and dare not trouble him, he will definitely be treated differently by the old eunuch of the supervisory army.
(Note 1)
This affection is quite serious. Even if there is a barrier from family background, it will not damage its warmth. Just as he was moved, he heard Song Wu say with a smile: "Then there is Brother Lao Mingyun. To be honest, little brother
I have long wanted to go out on my own and venture out. But I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity!"
"There's no need for hard work. Logically speaking, I should be the one thanking you!" Wang Xun shook his head, his smile faintly showing a hint of shame that was difficult for others to detect.
The brothers and sisters who were in the White Horse Castle back then have all grown up now. Not only has Yu Wenzhi grown up impressively, but even Song Wu, who performed mediocrely back then, has gradually shown a different demeanor from before. Their current backgrounds are all
Better than themselves, but none of them thought of relying on the strength of others. Only themselves, when they were in Chang'an, they foolishly counted on the Qin brothers as their backers. Now they count on Feng Changqing for everything.
As soon as the word was on my lips, I suddenly realized that the support behind it was not so strong, and I immediately became confused again.
As the saying goes, when three people are walking together, there must be my teacher. After figuring out a frustration in life, Wang Xun immediately became more energetic, straightened his shoulders, and said loudly: "This matter is settled. Let's all follow Ban Dingyuan's example.
, and walked together outside Congling. However, there are still two aspects that need to be carefully considered. The first is about the identity certificates and origins that everyone held when they went on the mission. Although they were prepared to retaliate with cannibalism,
But you can’t be too careless. Secondly, Marshal Feng needs to make a statement to get his old man’s permission and support!”
Before he finished speaking, Xue Jingxian already smiled and said, "The first point is easy to handle. Xue always likes to play with some gold and stone objects, and forges some documents, but it doesn't take much effort! As for related social etiquette? Xue also counts.
I dabbled in some things. I sharpened the guns for everyone in the middle of the battle, but I managed to do it reluctantly."
"In that case, I'll thank you, brother!" Wang Xun smiled and thanked Xue Jingxian.
"It's just a few small things, nothing without work." Xue Jingxian waved his hand, and then reminded with a smile, "But you still need to work more on Feng Shuai. Not only do you need him to agree to your plan. More importantly, you need him to agree to your plan.
, he needs to endorse you and admit that your status as an envoy is his temporary discretion. The relevant appointments can be made up in time after reporting to the court."
"Thank you for reminding me, brother!" Wang Xun was startled for a moment, then smiled and handed over his hand, "If there is anything else that needs to be added, I'd better trouble you to tell me! Otherwise, just the few of us, I'm afraid we don't need to take credit, even if we can
If you come back smoothly, I can’t guarantee that my head will be pressed against my neck again!”
"Don't worry, let me think about it carefully!" Xue Jingxian took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone by himself, and stood by the desk and slowly smeared it. As an old man who has been in the officialdom for many years, his thoughts are better than those of the king.
Xun and others were much more cautious. Soon, they figured out all the possible loopholes, including those discovered by the countries in the Western Regions and those found in the Tang Dynasty.
, and the way to crack it is indicated.
At first, Yu Wenzhi and others stood aside to watch the fun, but slowly they stopped smiling, and their expressions became more and more solemn. In the end, everyone simply formed a circle around Xue Jingxian, as serious as a child being taught.
. They all agreed that fame should be obtained on horseback. They all believed that men should wear Wu hooks and fight on the battlefield to live a worthwhile life. However, at this moment, they were shocked to discover that the knowledge in the officialdom did not require marching and fighting.
Simple. There are some dangerous aspects, even worse.
After writing more than ten pages eloquently, Xue Jingxian went through what he had written from beginning to end, then took out a piece of paper and wrote a short article in a flash. He blew it dry with his mouth, in order.
Put it away and handed it to Wang Xun, "The front is the preparations you need to make. The last page is the official message left for Marshal Feng. With his protection for you, of course he doesn't need this thing, but
Keep this piece of paper so that he can explain it to the court in the future!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Wang Xun was so impressed that he couldn't even speak. He took Xue Jingxian's plan manuscript and hugged it firmly to his chest. "It would have been better if I had known Brother Xue for a few years earlier.
.Wang is not so stupid as to not understand who he offended!"
"A few years ago, Xue might not have been able to catch everyone's attention!"
Ask Marshal Feng to ask for a tassel. Once you guys leave, it will be meaningless for Xue to stay in the army. Why not, let's leave Xiaobolu together under the pretext of escorting me back. We can go our separate ways on the road when no one is paying attention.
This thing can probably deceive that old thief Bian Lingcheng!"
Wang Xun nodded and accepted the instruction, then hurriedly sat down and read Xue Jingxian's plan again. When he encountered something that he didn't understand or felt needed to be discussed, he took the initiative to ask for advice. Xue Jingxian also rarely interacted with others without being defensive, so he was very happy to do so.
When giving advice, often while talking about one thing, new hidden dangers will come to mind, and they will be temporarily added to the planning document. One of them is learning, the other is teaching, and before they know it, an afternoon has passed. Wait for Wang
Xun thought he had mastered the essence of it, and the sky outside had already turned dark. Except for Yu Wenzhi, who was still staying with him despite all his energy, everyone else had already left.
"Look at me, I've delayed everyone for so long! Fortunately, there are still a few jars of good wine secretly hidden in the dormitory. Why don't Brother Xue just eat some at my place!" Wang Xun smiled apologetically and stood up to invite Xue Jingxian.
We ate together. However, Xue Jingxian had no intention of staying any longer. He pushed him with a smile and scolded him in a low voice: "It's so shameless. I don't know, brother, I have a beautiful woman waiting over there! Let's do whatever we are supposed to do. I won't accompany you.
, don’t give it to me either.”
After that, he went out with a smile and walked away.
Wang Xun shook his head at Xue Jingxian's back, then took Yu Wenzhi back to the dormitory and handed him the plan document solemnly, "Please live a good life. This brother Xue is really not an ordinary person! As for dinner, just
Just make do with it here."
"Is it possible that someone who has the ability to step into both the prince's and Yang Guozhong's boats is ordinary?" Yu Wenzhi smiled and took the copy and carefully placed it on the corner of the desk. "What about you! It looks like you are going to find Feng now.
Do you want me to be handsome?"
"Yes! So that he won't be embarrassed by my affairs again!" Wang Xun agreed with a smile, and then began to pack his clothes quickly in front of the bronze mirror in the bed tent.
The regular uniform of the fourth-rank lieutenant general was very smart, and he had already made up his mind and had a calm attitude. Soon, a heroic figure appeared in the mirror. The shoulders were not wide enough, but he was already very strong. The figure was in
He is not a high-ranking general among generals, but the advantage is that his waist is always straight. His face, once full of childishness, now has a hint of weathered color, but the sun is still there, and his eyebrows extend from the middle of the nose to the two temples.
This is who he is now. Wang Xun shook his head towards the figure in the mirror and sighed softly. If it hadn't been accidentally revealed by Song Wu today, he might still not understand why he suffered setbacks in reality.
When people grow up, the shadow of their parents cannot always hang over their heads. If you never have the courage to face reality alone, perhaps more hardships are waiting right ahead.
"What's wrong, you?" Seeing Wang Xun uncharacteristically standing in front of the mirror looking at himself in pity, Yu Wenzhi couldn't help but frown and ask.
"Nothing? I lost myself and found it again!" Wang Xun responded half as a joke, half as seriously. Then he grabbed the scarlet cloak and put it on his shoulders, turned around and left the tent.
Note 1: Zhongshu Sheren was responsible for making imperial edicts in the Tang Dynasty, and was equivalent to the emperor's confidential secretary. Therefore, his official position was not high, but his power was very prominent.
