Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 216: Recover the land of Han and Tang dynasties and honor the name of Tian Khan!

It was a very enjoyable meal.

After Su Wu returned, two cousins ​​came to visit their cousin in the side courtyard of the Wang family.

My cousin just sat in the living room angrily, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't actually read a single page.

Wang Huan and Wang Hui came in and sat aside. They looked at each other, and then the eldest brother Wang Huan said, "Sister, there is no need to be angry with that scholar Su. He may have just said it casually."

"Just saying it casually?" Sister Li raised her eyebrows, looking a bit "ferocious".

Wang Hui quickly continued, "Sister, maybe Master Su was just having fun, joking, yes, just joking..."

"Are you teasing me?" Sister Li raised her eyebrows to Wang Hui again.

The two brothers were a little embarrassed and looked at each other again. Wang Huan suddenly had an idea and said, "Sister, that scholar Su is just arrogant because of his talent. He thinks he has some talent and ability. With the title of scholar, he doesn't take people seriously. Sister, who is a person? How can you let him bully you? You have to teach him a lesson!"

Wang Hui immediately responded, "Yes, brother, you are right. We should teach him a lesson!"

Sister Li put the book down and looked much better, but she still said sarcastically: "I thought you two were relatives of Su Wu, oh, it turns out you are my cousin..."

The two brothers smiled awkwardly, and even smiled and acted a bit flattering. Wang Huan said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I personally think that Su Xue... Su Wu, I just can't stand it, I just don't like him!"

"I dislike him the most too!" Wang Hui added.

"Oh? You two dislike him so much? That's fine, do you two dare to go to the streets to look for him?" Li Qingzhao asked again.

"I wonder why we are looking for him?" Wang Huan knew in his heart that something was wrong.

Li Qingzhao said quietly, "You are looking for trouble with him. How about you two beat him up and beat him up in the street?"

"what?"

The brothers were stunned.

Wang Huan was embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "Sister, the two of us... Look at how strong Su Wu is, how can the two of us defeat him?"

"Yeah..." said the younger brother.

"Your family's guard servants only need to bring dozens of people with them, and dozens of people can't beat him?" Li Qingzhao asked again.

"Well, then..." Wang Huan was completely embarrassed.

Wang Hui said with a bitter face: "Just kidding, just kidding, sister is just kidding, the soldiers under his command are as fierce as wolves and tigers, even if there are more guards, they can't beat them..."

"Hmph!" Sister Li turned her face away and continued, "You two are such heartless people. How have I taken care of you since you were little? You have all forgotten that others laugh at me, which is fine, but I heard that you two were laughing in the hall, too. It's really infuriating!"

Wang Huan stood up quickly and said, "No, absolutely not! Who is talking nonsense like that? How could I laugh at my sister with others? May the heavens be struck with lightning, and all rumors are just rumors. I will glare at Su Wu and I will never give up on him!"

"I...I feel the same way!" Wang Huigeng also quickly expressed his opinion.

At this point, Sister Li seemed to feel relieved. She looked around at the two of them, paused, and asked, "Am I really the person that Su Ziqing said I was?"

"What kind of person?" Wang Huan pretended to be puzzled.

"What did he say about me?" Sister Li asked.

"I... I really can't remember!" Wang Huan replied.

"Hmph! I can't remember. He said I was a daughter of a noble family and a harsh person. He also said I didn't know the sufferings of the world. He also said I was hypocritical and that I was complaining without reason. What do you two think?"

Li Qingzhao was asking seriously.

Wang Huan immediately replied: "Nonsense, really nonsense, my sister has always been kind and friendly to others!"

Wang Hui simply said: "Su Wu and I cannot coexist!"

Sister Li suddenly sighed and waved her hands: "Okay, okay, maybe he is right..."

"what?"

"what?"

"Maybe he's right. He has great ambitions, he fights for his country and his family, he kills enemies in battle, he governs the country, he looks down on me for drinking and having fun every day, for pitying the flowers and plants, for talking about love... But he's a man, I'm a woman, how can we generalize? He says I'm harsh, maybe I am harsh, I don't know the sufferings of the world, when I was young, how could I know what sorrow feels like? And how could I understand what suffering is..."

Sister Li spoke slowly, not looking at anyone, but just looking into the distance outside the door.

The brothers were completely stunned.

Then I heard Sister Li say: "Maybe last night's rain was sparse and the wind was strong, it's really not a good word..."

"Sister, that's...that's what Scholar Su said nonsense, right? If it's not a good lyric, why is it sung all over the world? If we go out, we can hear this song everywhere? People all over the world like it, why do you say it's not a good lyric?" Wang Huan seemed a little confused.

Sister Li waved her hands: "Just because it is sung all over the world doesn't necessarily mean it is a good lyric. It's just that the lyric is simple and easy to understand, without much deep meaning..."

"How come this poem has no connotation or deep meaning?" Wang Huan suddenly became unconvinced. After all, she was his sister, who in the world wouldn't praise her? If he mentioned her anywhere, she would be honored, so who wouldn't compliment her?
Why is my sister doubting herself today?

Sister Li also said: "What deep meaning can it have? You said... you were drunk and the wind and rain knocked down the flowers, what deep meaning can this have? You said you were drunk and accidentally walked into the deep lotus flowers, what deep meaning can this have? It's just a pile of words, just a little bit of girlish behavior..."

"Then...then what is the profound meaning?" Wang Huan was very unconvinced.

Then I heard Li Qingzhao slowly speaking: "Beside the broken bridge outside the post station, the flowers are blooming lonely without an owner. It is already dusk and I am alone and sad. The wind and rain are making it worse. I have no intention of struggling for spring. I let all the flowers be jealous. They fall into the mud and turn into dust, but the fragrance remains the same... How good it is!"

"He...he..." Wang Huan thought for a moment, paused, and then said, "He does have some connotations..."

"This is a high-level idea!" Li Qingzhao commented sincerely.

"But he... must have some bad qualities!" Wang Huan said again.

"The bad thing is what he said, poetry is just a trivial matter and not worth playing with..." Li Qingzhao suddenly laughed.

"Sister, please compose another song, a good one, and teach him the lyrics that will convince him. Then he will have nothing to say!" Wang Huilai offered advice.

Li Qingzhao shook her head: "It's not about one or two songs. It's about me... I lived too comfortably and too boringly in the first half of my life..."

"Sister, your life is so boring these days?" Wang Huan was really puzzled and expressed great shock.

Li Qingzhao nodded: "To be honest, it's boring, very boring... It's nothing but eating, drinking and having fun..."

"Sister, you are a woman. You can't become an official in the court or go to fight in the battlefield, right?" At this moment, Wang Huan was wholeheartedly supporting his cousin.

"Forget it. I can't talk about this with you two. You two are just people who like to eat, drink and have fun..." Li Qingzhao even cursed at them.

"I..." Wang Huan was speechless for a moment and couldn't refute it.

"How could I not know what my uncle meant? He invited Su Ziqing here because he knew that the influence of his ancestors was about to end. He was afraid that you two would fall into poverty in the future, so he wanted to have a few more people to look after you, whether it was the Wang family, the Li family, or even the Zhao family in Qingzhou. Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty wrote in a poem that the swallows that used to fly in front of the halls of the Wang and Xie families will eventually fly into the homes of ordinary people. There will always be that day. The cycle of life is like this..."

Li Qingzhao and Xu Zhen are different from before. Although she cannot say that she has achieved great enlightenment, she can be said to have some thoughts about life and worldly affairs.

Historically, she would also experience such a change in mentality, but that would have to wait until the country was destroyed and the family was ruined.

After the change of mentality, the style and content of his poems also underwent dramatic changes.

Now, it seems to be a little earlier.

These words inevitably left the two cousins ​​speechless.

Only Li Qingzhao continued to say: "I have always thought that I, Li Yi'an, am no less capable than men in studying and research. Most men in the world are no better than me... Now I think again..."

"Sister, please don't think like that. There are many men in the world who are not as good as you!" Wang called Sister Li to cheer up and not let this go on...

Wang Hui simply nodded and said, "Yes, once Master Liu leaves, I will ask, who can compare to you in the poetry world today? Even the current emperor cannot compare to you in poetry and music! You are the best in the world!"

"Forget it, you guys go, I will go write a letter back to Su Ziqing." Li Qingzhao waved her hand.

"Then you have to hurry. From what I heard today, he might leave Beijing in the next few days!" Wang Huan reminded.

"Huh? You're leaving Beijing? Didn't you just arrive in Beijing to take up your new post? Weren't you just appointed as a direct academician of the Privy Council? Why aren't you serving as an official in Beijing? Why are you leaving Beijing?" Li Qingzhao was very surprised.

"I don't know, and it's not easy to ask. Just think about it as an assignment. Nowadays, people say that he knows the most about military affairs. So, as long as it's military affairs, the court will certainly use him to run errands. I also heard that the emperor favors him very much and likes him the most." Wang Huan replied.

"That's not wrong. He is the most knowledgeable about military affairs. The more capable one is, the more work one should do. Your Majesty is also wise and has a broad mind when it comes to identifying and employing people..." There was a hint of disappointment in Li Qingzhao's tone.

It's not for anything else, it's just that she doesn't have many friends now. Sometimes, people are weird. Even if they sit together at banquets dozens of times, they are just nodding acquaintances and have their own ulterior motives.

Sometimes, you can open your heart to someone just by having some in-depth conversation with them.

These are naturally referring to Li Qingzhao and Su Wu, and perhaps it is even more so in the current poetry world. Li Qingzhao really looked down on any of them and was too lazy to even look at them. Suddenly, Su Wu caught her eye.

It was also the last era. The brilliance of the last generation was too dazzling. The Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song, Yan Shu and Yan Jidao, the Four Scholars of Su's School, Liu Yong and Liu Sanbian, all of them passed away, and the Song Dynasty seemed to be completely empty...

Perhaps one of the reasons why Li Qingzhao was able to argue with everyone in the literary world of the Song Dynasty was that no one was qualified to debate with her.

Su Wu suddenly appeared in the world and kept scolding Li Yian. In fact, it was lonely at the top. Looking around, didn't it seem that Su Wu was the only one?

It is inevitable that we sympathize with each other.

Li Qingzhao came back and asked again: "When will he leave?"

Wang Huan nodded: "I don't know..."

Li Qingzhao then said: "Then you should go and ask him. If he leaves Beijing, you should also go to see him off..."

"Oh..." Wang Huan nodded blankly, feeling confused but not asking.

Wang Hui asked, "Sister, do you want to go and see me off? After all, we are old friends. Gentlemen should be friendly but not too different. It's nothing special..."

Sister Li immediately waved her hand: "How can I go?"

"Oh, then my brother and I will go and send him off!" Wang Hui nodded in response.

"You two wait for me..." Li Qingzhao suddenly stood up and walked to the inner room. After a while, she came out with a large stack of papers and said, "When you go to deliver it, give these manuscripts to him."

Wang Huan took it and asked, "What is this?"

"This is..." Li Qingzhao's eyes were red for a moment, and she continued: "This is the manuscript of your brother-in-law. I don't know how much effort he spent on it. He lived in seclusion in Qingzhou for more than ten years, recording all the important news in the world. It's almost done, and it's time to compile it into a book..."

"Why give it to Su...Master?"

"Su Ziqing is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty the most. In the past, your brother-in-law and he often exchanged letters. Even at the end, he told your brother-in-law to defend the city tightly. He led the army to rescue day and night. Even your brother-in-law... Alas, when he did something shameful, he still wanted to cover it up... Now, your brother-in-law is gone. This book is a great achievement of gold and stone. There has never been such a book in the world before. Leaving it to future generations is also a merit... Let Su Ziqing do it. Others may look down on your brother-in-law. I have also ridiculed him, let alone others? Only Su Ziqing may look down on him a little..."

As Li Qingzhao spoke, she actually began to cry.

Wang Huan sighed: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, ah..."

Li Qingzhao continued, "I am also afraid that people in the world, who only know that it is Zhao Mingcheng's posthumous work, will look down on it and ridicule it. Only if Su Ziqing does this, people in the world will look at it with a higher regard and truly appreciate the work that your brother-in-law has worked so hard on for more than ten years..."

Jinshi, whether it is gold or stone, is an archaeological study of seal characters. Don’t underestimate it. The earliest text archaeology of mankind is all about Jinshi, and even the changes in characters...

Zhao Mingcheng's "Jinshilu" is a masterpiece that has played a great role in the archaeology of a country and nation's cultural history. Thousands of years later, it still shines and is an authority.

People are just so complicated... What Li Qingzhao thought was also very reasonable. At this moment, Li Qingzhao was not incapable of helping her late husband publish the book, but she was afraid that people in the world would look down on Zhao Mingcheng and not take him seriously, and all her hard work for more than ten years would be wasted.

Only then did Li Qingzhao come up with this idea.

Wang Huan understood and said, "It seems that Scholar Su is truly a man of great integrity. Father, befriending him is a wise decision!"

"Keep them well. There are thirty volumes in total. Don't miss a single page, and don't damage a single word." Li Qingzhao reminded again.

How could Wang Huan be negligent? He held it carefully and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely hand it over to Master Su in good condition!"

"I would also like to ask Mr. Su to write a preface... If so, people all over the world will rush to buy it, and it will be more widely circulated in Suzhou, Lake Tai and the south of the Yangtze River..." Li Qingzhao said this, feeling so helpless.

"Then I'll go right away and find the best wooden box to put it in and lock it tightly." Wang Huan quickly got up and went, holding the thing in his hands and walking very carefully.

As soon as the two brothers left, the sobbing sounds could be heard in the house.

……

Speaking of leaving, Su Wu has been running around these past two days. He has to say goodbye to everyone he should say goodbye to, meet everyone he should meet, and even arrange things for the Privy Council.

I also want to see the emperor again. The last time I came, which was a few days ago, I didn't take the Genyue tour seriously. Today, the emperor personally acted as a tour guide and took Su Wu to visit Genyue.

The landscaping of Gen Yue has really reached the pinnacle. It's a pity that Su Wu could not feel relaxed and happy when he saw it, because every step he took and every glance he took were made with the blood and tears of the people.

The emperor was not in a good mood, simply because the old scenery had become old and he had countless ideas for new scenery, but they had not yet been implemented.

He also asked Su Wu for various opinions, such as how to change this and how to change that, and what he thought.
Su Wu also answered seriously, just talking about layers, structure, color, lines, innovation, creativity...

After the tour, the emperor was in high spirits and kept praising: "Su Qing is a man of great talent. I think he is also accomplished in painting..."

Su Wu replied: "I am good at appreciating, but I am not good at writing. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

The emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Well, this way requires time and effort to achieve success. First, you are young, second, you have never had a famous teacher, and third, you don't have any extra money, so it is difficult to achieve success. You can wait until later, and there is no rush to learn... I can send a few people to your side. If you have time, come to the palace, and I can also teach you a thing or two. In ten or twenty years, you will eventually achieve great success!"

Do you think this emperor treats people badly?

But what do you think this emperor does day after day?

Su Wu just said: "Your Majesty, this is a big battle, I'm afraid you don't have time to take care of other things..."

"That's fine. We'll talk about it after the war. People need to take some time off from their busy schedules. Su Qing is so talented, but it would be a waste if he doesn't learn calligraphy and painting. Let's not talk about it now, we'll talk about it later. Once the Liao is conquered and Yanyun is in hand, I won't ask for anything else. It will be enough for my name to go down in history. At that time, Su Qing will have some free time. How can he not have some way to entertain himself? Painting is the best way to entertain yourself!"

Seeing the emperor speaking so seriously, Su Wu actually felt even more unhappy, so he just said: "Your Majesty, I have a great ambition in my heart..."

"Haha... tell me!" The emperor raised his hand and waved.

"Recover the land of Han and Tang, and honor the name of Heavenly Khan!" Su Wu said seriously, also looking at the emperor.

These words were somewhat ambiguous, an ambiguity that only Su Wu understood.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Do you have such a great ambition?"

"Only in this way can our names be recorded in history books for generations to come. No matter when, we will be the greatest emperor of all time!" Su Wu said again.

"The territory of Han and Tang is so vast!" The emperor frowned.

"If we can have the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, why can't we have the Song Dynasty? We should first recover Yanyun, and then recover the four counties in Hexi. In this way, we can go out of the Western Regions, and the Han and Tang Dynasties are not far away!" What Su Wu said was nothing more than attacking the Liao Kingdom first and then attacking the Western Xia and Dangxiang.

The emperor frowned even more. Just thinking about this matter, he felt how difficult it was. How much worry and effort would it take?

Su Wu said again: "Your Majesty, I am not daydreaming. Once we recover Yanyun, our army will be even stronger and our power will be even greater. When we fight the Tanguts again, we will surely be unstoppable!"

"Yes!" The emperor nodded and said, "Let's wait for Yanyun to win this time, and then come to the court to discuss it..."

Su Wu had never heard of the phrase "wanton leads to loss of ambition" before, and even had doubts. Could there really be such an extremely smart person who would lose his ambition due to playing with things? Or was this phrase just a crime for losers?

Today, I finally understand its true meaning.

Su Wu even resonated with Yue Fei. Yue Fei shouted, "Go straight to Huanglongfu," but Zhao Gou refused.

Su Wu was shouting, "Restore the Han and Tang Dynasties", but Zhao Ji was frowning...

"Okay, Your Majesty, just wait for the good news. This time when I go north, I will repay your kindness with my death!" Su Wu bowed.

"Good, good, good. Su Qing is excellent and a pillar of the country!" The emperor also smiled.

"Your Majesty, I am leaving now!" Su Wu bowed.

The emperor said, "Return home early!"

"I'll come back when the task is accomplished!" Su Wu answered loudly.

The emperor said with deep emotion: "The scenery of Genyue is going to be changed. It is the work of my painstaking efforts. If there are a hundred people who come to see it, Su Qing is not as good as them. If Su Qing cannot appreciate the new scenery and cannot accept your comments, then this scenery is as good as not being built at all. Su Qing, please go home soon!"

After hearing this, Su Wu had mixed feelings. He bowed again and slowly retreated.

The last words: "Your Majesty's great grace, I cannot repay it even if I die a hundred times!"

Su Wu was leaving, and the emperor was waving at him, as if he was truly reluctant to let him go.

Su Wu also knew that perhaps the emperor really regarded him as a close friend.

Perhaps it was because the emperor rarely encountered something new, and before he had time to appreciate it, the newness was gone.

Maybe it's just like a couple in love, just beginning, but they have to separate...

For this emperor, it is not difficult for men and women to fall in love, and it is easy to get it. But it is really hard to find a confidant, and it is difficult to meet him in a lifetime.

Even though it was Su Wu who left, the emperor was reluctant to let him go. Liang Shicheng, who was standing by, came to comfort him, saying, "Your Majesty, the matter of moving the scenery of Genyue Mountain needs to be done quickly. Su Xueshi will eventually return. If the new scenery is not completed when he returns, wouldn't it be tragic?"

The emperor nodded and said, "That's right, bring some paper and pen, write a letter quickly, and tell Cai You to act quickly in Suzhou!"

As he spoke, the emperor became busy.

When they really wanted to leave, everyone who was supposed to say goodbye had said goodbye, but there were quite a few people who came to see him off. Cheng Hao came to see him off, and he also came on behalf of Tong Guan. Some colleagues in the Privy Council also came, and even Xuan Zan came...

Liang Shicheng also sent someone to deliver...

The Wang family also sent someone to deliver...

Even the emperor sent someone to deliver...

Who did the emperor send? It was Tan Zhen, which was somewhat surprising.

Tan Zhen spoke first, taking out a large scroll and handing it to Su Wu, and then said: "This is a small work from the Royal Academy of Painting and Calligraphy. The emperor said he would give it to you. I hope you will always think of Bianjing!"

Su Wu nodded, opened it and looked at it a little bit. When he saw only the beginning, he was shocked to find that it was "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

How can this "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" be a small work?
Tan Zhen said, "The government said that this landscape painting was time-consuming and laborious, and was painted by a young man in the calligraphy and painting academy. It is not very elegant, but it records the prosperity of a corner of Bianjing City. It was sent to the scholar when he left Beijing to relieve his homesickness..."

Su Wu also knew that boundary painting, which is the method of drawing horizontal and vertical lines, was obviously not a high-level art form in that era.

This painting should have been given by the emperor to Cai Jing for collection, but by some strange coincidence it fell into the hands of Su Wu first.

Su Wu rolled up the opening page, tucked the painting under his arm, and bowed: "Mr. Tan, please help me take this message to thank the emperor for his great grace!"

Tan Zhen nodded: "Okay..."

But Tan Zhen suddenly said, "Mr. Su, if we go to war this time, well... I will also ask your Majesty to fight. If the emperor asks... I hope Mr. Su will remember our old friendship..."

Su Wu understood what he said. He was afraid that Su Wu would do something bad to him. Tan Zhen still wanted to go to the battlefield, or follow the old path of Li Xian, Tong Guan and other eunuchs, and still wanted to stand out...

In the Song Dynasty, most eunuchs could only succeed by becoming military supervisors.

To talk about some affection, there was actually some. Su Wu cheated Tan Zhen out of 800,000 strings of cash, but he just treated Tan Zhen like a fool.

Su Wu nodded: "That's easy to say..."

Tan Zhen also smiled and said, "Thank you."

After the emperor sent gifts, Cheng Hao came to send gifts as well. Tong Guan gave a good set of armor and a good sword. In addition, he searched the armor and weapon warehouses in various places in the capital and found several carts of magic arm crossbows. Su Wu already knew all of this.

Cheng Hao was already wiping his eyes: "Brother-in-law, when you go, please say hello to my father and sister on my behalf..."

"Yes, I will definitely bring you there." Su Wu nodded. This time he would go back to Dongping Prefecture first to arrange and inspect the work. He would be busy for a few days. Then he would lead people to Daming Prefecture and meet up with Li Gang who was still on his way to Beijing, and then go to patrol the border.

This border patrol was to find out the military preparedness of various places, but more importantly, to gather information about the Liao Kingdom, investigate the terrain and make military plans.

Song and Liao had not fought for a hundred years, so nothing could be done hastily. All defeats in history were caused by haste. But with Su Wu's arrival, things would be different. This time it was a war between the two countries, so preparations had to be extremely thorough.

Even more, we should contact some people and cooperate with them from inside and outside, which is the best thing, as the fortress is easiest to break through from the inside.

This was also the case in history. The Liao Kingdom was already in a precarious situation at the end of its road. The Song had many internal supporters among the Liao people, and there were even rebels from the Liao Kingdom who surrendered to the Song. The rebels also led the way and even broke into the city of Yanjing at one point.

Even with such a good situation, it still ended in a dismal way...

This Song Dynasty is so rubbish, so rubbish that it is unimaginable!
Then Wang called Wang Hui and his brothers to see him off. There was no need to say many words of farewell, but it was the farewell gift that Su Wu received in his hands. How could he not have mixed feelings?
Zhao Mingcheng, ah Zhao Mingcheng...

After opening the brocade box and taking a quick look, I found that the words written on it were the product of painstaking effort!

After closing the brocade box, Su Wu replied, "You go and tell Yi An that the preface to this Record of Gold and Stone has already been completed. I will write the words on the title page and ask her to write a postscript. After all, Yi An also put a lot of effort into it, so I dare not take credit for it."

Su Wu was obviously willing to do this. The highest pursuit of scholars in academic research is to write books. If Su Wu's name was written at the very beginning of "Jinshilu", although it was not his own book, it could still be considered as a name for himself.

It also further confirmed to the world that Su Wu was a member of the top scholar-official circle in the Song Dynasty, and a famous one at that.

This will be of great benefit to many things in the future.

It's said that Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble before he usurped the throne. It's probably something like this...

It's just like when Wang Mang usurped the throne, it was so smooth and seamless. Although Wang Mang made big mistakes in his operations later, this operation was much better than Zhao Kuangyin bringing a large army into the city to drive away orphans and widows.

To be honest, one was "civil usurpation" and the other was "military usurpation". Perhaps one of the real reasons for Wang Mang's final failure was that he did not truly control the country's main army like Zhao Kuangyin did.

If we put the "civil usurpation" and "military usurpation" together, it would be a powerful combination...

When Su Wu collected the manuscript of Records of Gold and Stone, Wang Huan was really moved and bowed: "The scholar's righteousness towards others is as high as the sky!"

"Let's go back..." Su Wu nodded, got on his horse, waved his hand, and rode away.

This time, I will go to Hebei first, to Daming Prefecture to see Suo Chao, and maybe I will also meet Liang Shijie, the secretary of the Daming Prefecture first.

More importantly, Su Wu was going to Xiangzhou, Hebei to visit a man named Yue Fei, who was exactly eighteen years old this year!
It was not easy to visit in the past because it was difficult to move people's hearts with just a few words when it came to asking them to leave their hometowns.

Now you can visit, why?
Because of Su Wu, his name has spread all over the world!

(Brothers, muah! Dadadada!)
