Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 382 Turning Moment 1
At this moment in the Zuixing Building in the capital, Wen Xijun and Qin Xianrong gathered together, and next to him was Li Shishi.

"Let me tell you what's good about you. The lady of the Wang family didn't listen to you when she asked you to go to trade water. Now it's very lively, and the captives are calling again. What do you do?" Li Shishi glared at the second daughter and complained.

Wen Xijun smiled and said: "Ma'am, isn't it just a siege! What's so scary, can those pigs and sheep get in?"

"You!" Li Shishi looked helplessly at Wen Xijun, but his heart was full of warmth. There were still people who missed her and did not turn their backs on her.

"Mistress, the officials also sent a letter, telling Miss Thirteen to leave Kaifeng as soon as possible, and told us to inform the eldest lady to leave the capital as soon as possible." Qin Xianrong rolled his eyes at Wen Xijun, she was very concerned about Li Shishi, and stayed in Kaifeng A large part of the reason is also for Li Shishi.

It turned out that Wang Xiu took office in a hurry, and Youqin Moyan also took stock of the accounts of the branch, leaving the financial resources to maintain development, and taking away the rest.But Qin Xianrong wanted to accompany Li Shishi in the capital. She had the best relationship with Li Shishi, and she really didn't want to leave. Even if Kaifeng was besieged again, she couldn't let go.

In the end, Youqin couldn't say anything about Qin Xianrong, and even Wen Xijun insisted on staying. She had no choice but to feel that Wang Xiuyan was exaggerating. Since Qin Xianrong insisted, she couldn't say too much, because she was not Wang Xiu's woman.As for Wen Xijun, it's even harder to say, once he returns to Shangshui, he still doesn't know how he will be with the elder sister. The two are really enemies in the previous life.Besides, the captives were also beaten back last time, let's see the situation first, maybe the captives blackmailed them and retreated.

No, the Jin army is advancing steadily, and Youqin Moyan is also in a hurry in Shangshui. He even sent his family to pick up Wen Xijun and Qin Xianrong, but they refused. Even Wang Xiulai's letter could not persuade them, so the matter dragged on. Now.

How could Li Shishi not know that Qin Xianrong did not leave, mainly because he did not want to let her go, so he could not help persuading: "Third sister, since Mr. Wang sent a letter and asked you to go to Shangshui, I think it is better to pack away quickly! This time the captives came too ferociously." If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Qin Xianrong smiled slightly, and said in a warm voice: "Ma'am, it's not that scary, the officials don't want us to be wronged a bit." Having said this, he suddenly realized something, his face blushed suddenly, and he stopped talking.

"Third Sister, so it's..." Wen Xijun took Qin Xianrong on his arm, laughing nonstop.

"Sister Thirteen." Qin Xianrong's face was as red as an apple, and he ruthlessly gouged out Wen Xijun.

"The high official Wang has a heart for the third sister, but it's a pity that your fate came too late. The third sister listened to me. The high official asked you to go to Shangshui to confirm your identity. Don't miss the marriage." Li Shishi looked at Qin Xianrong dotingly , whispered: "Don't accompany me anymore, I can't leave the capital."

"Eldest lady, if you don't leave, I will accompany you." Qin Xianrong was not forgiving, and she came to persuade Li Shishi.

"Big lady is fine, we are small people." Wen Xijun was still giggling, and she didn't want to leave Kaifeng, after all, this is her foundation, it's a pity to leave.

In the side hall of Baohe Hall, Zhao Huan looked at Zhong Liqiu with a complicated face, and said with difficulty: "Could it be that the Qing family really can't prepare 200 million gold?"

Facing Zhao Huan, Zhong Liqiu remained calm and calm, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Shenjing Bank has just been established, so how can there be any spare money? Even the banks in the southeast and Jingdong are mostly funding the reorganization of the army. There is really no money to raise.”

It is said that Zhao Huan's face was pale, he was defeated one after another, the Song Dynasty lost 40 troops, and lost a large amount of armaments. Both the East and South Roads were in charge of setting up troops, and a lot of money was indispensable. Zhong Liqiu's words are understandable. But what he heard was full of irony, and it was extremely arrogant.

The person in front of him pushes things and doesn't take him seriously. At the beginning of the year, he still had concerns, but now he can't let him be presumptuous. Could it be that the establishment of a bank by the imperial court is not to increase income?He said angrily, "All the administrative divisions are paid by military state finances and taxes. What's your intention in keeping Southeast Bank's money?"

The words had reached a serious point, and there was only one thread away from dismissal, but Zhong Liqiu's eyes flashed with disappointment.

On November [-], the first year of Jingkang, Sishui official road.

The north wind ravaged the withered and yellow earth, rolled up the dry and fine sand on both sides of the river, and filled the cloudy sky.

The official road was crowded with people fleeing as far as the eye could see. There were rich people's carriages, ox carts and donkey carts loaded with household belongings, and more poor people pushing carts on foot. They were in a mess, yelling, cursing, Crying and crying.

Lost people staggered and stumbled in the crowd looking for their relatives. The gangsters blatantly plundered property and openly insulted women, which caused this endless fleeing team to move extremely slowly.

On both sides of the road, there were scattered corpses, some were hurriedly half-buried in the soil, and some were simply thrown into the haystack. Fortunately, it was the middle of winter, and the corpses would not rot and spread the plague.

A cavalry team composed of more than a hundred scarlet-robed knights stopped beside the official road. In normal times, those refugees would turn a blind eye when they saw the officers and soldiers.but.Today, however, there is fear in his eyes, and he avoids them from a distance, not wanting to provoke this group of warriors for no reason.One after another, they headed towards the southeast in a dull manner, unable to cross the official road at all.

Wang Xiu, who was riding on a horse, looked sad. He looked at the refugees passing by slowly, with numb faces and blank eyes. His thin cheeks kept twitching. For the first time, he wanted to make up his mind to say something, but hesitantly swallowed the words that came to his lips, his eyes closed gently, and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably.

Looking at the endless queue of refugees and seeing piles of corpses, he couldn't help but sigh.Just yesterday, he convened everyone to make a decision, went to meet Orihiko in person, and acted decisively once he found signs of retreating.

Li Bao, Shangguanqian, Feng Yuan and others led the troops and horses to carry out the mission. It is good that Zheyan knew each other well. If they did not know each other, they would quickly control the Chinese army and seize the military power of the whole army after Wang Xiu killed Zheyan. .

Li Bao took the lead in expressing his loyalty to Wang Xiu. Of course, Zong Liang, Feng Yuan and others needless to say, even Shangguan Qian knew that once Zhe Yanzhi retreated, the capital would be doomed. He believed in Wang Xiu's ability and also believed in Wang Xiu's determination .As for Zhong Lirui's more thorough statement, since it was Wang Xiujun who wrote the appropriate text, he naturally had to follow the coach, and didn't ask anything else.

"Sir, time doesn't wait, let's go through!" Feng Yuan said beside Wang Xiu.Not only did he follow Wang Xiu, but he was also in charge of the thousand cavalry following behind, ready to reinforce at any time.
