Chapter 254: Have you thought about the name of the country?
This appetite lasted for seven days. Every day, except for the morning, noon and evening, the servants would deliver meals and medicine at regular times. Normally, not even a ghost could be seen in the yard. It was deserted, and there was no one guarding the door. You could go out anytime you wanted.
All can go out.
Oh Ye had already gone out for a walk. This was just an ordinary country yard with only two entrances. It was not very big. Not far away was the majestic Helan Mountains. There were sparsely populated people around and there was not even a decent village.
Xu Zizhen was just a little strange, but he was not in a hurry. He only slept and ate every day, and drank the medicine sent by the other party. In such leisurely and comfortable days, the wound recovered at a very fast speed. Of course, Zhuo Ya's contribution was indispensable here.
If it hadn't been for her wonderful hands and magic medicine, Xu Zizhen's injury would not have been so comfortable even if it didn't last too long. The pain would have been inevitable for at least several days.
Speaking of Zhuo Ya, apart from changing Xu Zizhen's dressing every day, she spends the rest of her time in her room. There are three rooms in the yard. Xu Zizhen lives in the middle, and Zhuo Ya is next door to him, but she is close to home.
Recently, she did not appear in front of Xu Zizhen except when changing the dressing, and even when changing the dressing, she never spoke, her pretty face was still tense and cold.
Xu Zizhen was very puzzled. Didn't she want to kill him? Why didn't she do it? Why did she change her medicine so carefully every day? Should I take medicine or should this girl take medicine? If Oh Ye really said that she was attracted to him,
Xu Zizhen didn't believe it at all. He had been in Song Dynasty for a few months, and he had already understood one thing. Women these days are not stupid girls who fall in love with the kidnapper after being kidnapped.
But now he has no time to study this. In these days, including on the way to escape, he thought a lot. The appearance of the imperial envoy Mr. Xu coincidentally gave him a more perfect reason to defect, and Wen Chengyan was forcibly transferred.
When I returned to the capital, I said I was reporting on my work, but the consequences turned out to be very worrying. However, with that so-and-so Qi Ye here, I thought my life would not be in danger.
In addition, Xu Zizhen knew very well that Xu Bingzhe was the governor of Qinzhou and was not on duty in the capital. In other words, this imperial edict was probably sent to him on a fast horse from the capital for him to read. However, this was completely against the rules, so Xu Zizhen deduced that,
This edict is probably fake.
Today's imperial court is dominated by the Six Thieves. Although Xu Zizhen doesn't read much history books, he has listened to and read the comic strips in vernacular storytelling since he was a child. He is even more familiar with Water Margin. He knows very well who the Six Thieves are, such as
That eunuch Liang Shicheng who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Liang Shicheng was a favorite of Huizong. He was unparalleled in the imperial court at that time. Even important ministers like King Fu of Cai Jing were very respectful to him. He was even nicknamed "Yin Xiang", which shows his strong authority. Huizong's
He issued many orders and decrees on his behalf, and he even often imitated Huizong's handwriting to draft imperial edicts privately. This is what Xu Zizhen saw in the storytelling and novels of later generations.
If the imperial edict is true, Xu Zizhen will become a person of concern to the emperor, and he will really not be able to return to the Song Dynasty in the future. But if it is false, then he is not afraid. Now it is the New Year, that is, Xuanhe
It has been seven years. If the wheel of history does not change, the Jin Kingdom will invade the south on a large scale, the Jingkang Disaster is about to happen, and the six thieves will be defeated one by one this year. Xu Zizhen has no fear of them at all.
Just thinking about this Jingkang disaster made him nod. He had already experienced war since he came to this world. The bloody scenes had once made him unbearable, and he could not even sleep for several nights in a row. He did not dare to imagine being a cruel person.
What kind of terrifying period will the people face after the Jin soldiers invade the Central Plains?
The Jin Kingdom's cavalry has been in the limelight in recent years, and it will never be a good idea to confront the weak Song Ting. Xu Zizhen knows this, but he wants to try whether the arrival of himself, a time traveler, can help
The people of Song Dynasty should do something.
It has been less than a year from now to the Jingkang disaster, which is a bit tight, but there is still time to do something. Xu Zizhen made up his mind to help Chongzong deal with Sanjuetang and Xiao family as quickly as possible, and then
He immediately returned to the Song Dynasty. As a prophet from eight hundred years later, he wanted to find the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.
Sanjue Hall is famous in Xixia, and the Xiao family is in power. This is not a problem in Xu Zizhen's mind. Chongzong is an old fox who hides deeply. With him secretly cooperating, all enemies are paper tigers. Xu Zizhen is only worried about one thing at the moment.
That's how to find Zhao Gou and get on the line smoothly.
The sky was getting dark again, and it was time to have dinner. Normally, a servant would come over with a food box at this time, but today seemed to be an exception, because the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wheels could be faintly heard outside the door.
Xu Zizhen waved his hand to Daye, telling him not to be nervous. He could tell by the sound of the voice that there were at most two cars. If his guess was correct, it should be the real owner who had appeared, not the Xixia Forbidden Army chasing after him.
Soon there were footsteps outside the door, and then someone knocked twice on the door. An extraordinary old man walked into the house, supported by several guards. With a slight smile on his face, he looked at Xu Zizhen
: "Has this hero recovered from his injuries?"
Xu Zizhen turned over and went to the ground, and said to Daye and the guards: "You guys go out first."
Daye stepped out of the door without saying a word, and several guards looked at the old man. The old man nodded slightly, and then they filed out, and the last person opened the door smoothly.
Xu Zizhen stood there and looked up and down at the old man in front of him. He was wearing a large purple satin robe, his hair was tied up in a bun, and he was wearing a white hosta. He was not tall, but he was so casual.
standing there
But there was an indescribable power that naturally exuded. A pair of eyes seemed to be cloudy, but they were unfathomable. When the old man saw Xu Zizhen sizing him up, he didn't get angry and just stood there, letting him look at him, and at the same time looking at him.
.
Xixia crown uniforms are very particular. Ordinary people can only wear white linen and purple robes. Only those in high positions can wear purple robes. Xu Zizhen didn't even have to think about it. The old man in front of him must be one of the brothers of the Xiao family, and if he guessed correctly, he should be Xiao.
What a master.
The Grand Master, who is worth more than ten thousand people, is right in front of him, but Xu Zizhen doesn't care at all. He just cupped his hands and said casually: "Thank you."
The old man was a little surprised, but it was just a flash in his eyes, no clues showed on his face, and he still smiled and said: "Heroes don't need to be polite, I just met by chance, naturally..."
Xu Zizhen suddenly interrupted him with a rude wave of his hand, looked into the old man's eyes and said slowly: "Have you thought about the country's name?"
