On the way back to Lianyun Village from the capital, Xiang Nan asked Qi Shaoshang, Lao Xueguang and others, "Brothers, don't tell Wan Qing about Fu Zongshu for the time being. I don't want her to be too sad."
Although Fu Zongshu betrayed the country in Tongliao and attempted to usurp the throne, he was still Fu Wanqing's father after all. And even if she is kind-hearted and considerate, and knows that her father deserves this fate, she will still feel heartbroken.
And Xiang Nan betrayed Fu Zongshu. If Fu Wanqing knew about it, it might leave an indelible scar between the two. Therefore, he hoped to hide it from Fu Wanqing, preferably as long as possible.
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
"Don't worry, brother Gu, we will keep your secret." Qi Shaoshang nodded.
“That’s right, we will never disclose any information.” Lao Xuguang said with a smile on behalf of everyone.
“Thank you all very much,” Xiang Nan said, cupping his hands.
…
Two days later, everyone returned to Lianyun Village.
"The big boss is back, the big village master is back, the second village master, the third village master, and the sixth village master are all back~" Everyone in Lianyun Village welcomed them.
After Xiang Nan said hello to everyone, he went directly to the big tent at the top of the mountain and said, "Wanqing~"
"Xi Chao~" Fu Wanqing was making medicine in the room. When she saw Xiang Nan coming back, she immediately came forward happily and said, "It's really great that you are back."
Xiang Nan was away for a total of ten days this time, and she missed him for ten days.
“Wan Qing, during the ten days I left, I didn’t miss you for a moment.” Xiang Nan smiled.
"Me too." Fu Wanqing nodded, "Xichao, I miss you all the time."
"I will never leave you easily again." Xiang Nan promised.
"Well, I won't let you leave again. No matter where you go from now on, I will go with you." Fu Wanqing also nodded.
Thirty-three days, Lihen Tian is the highest; Four Hundred and Four Diseases, Lovesickness is the most painful. Once you have tasted the taste of lovesickness, you can no longer bear the pain of separation.
…
After returning to Lianyun Village, Xiang Nan and Fu Wanqing had a better time than their wedding, and their relationship was even better than before.
And Qi Shaoshang is also preparing to go to Suiyun Yuan and Suinuo City to see Honglei. If Xi Honglei didn't see him for a day, he would wait in Suiyun Yuan for a whole day. If you don't see him for a lifetime, he will wait for a lifetime.
In order to stop the red tears, he would rather turn into a wife-watching stone than change anything.
"Brother Qi, I wish you success and everything you want." Xiang Nan bowed his hands and said goodbye.
He knew that Qi Shaoshang would definitely get what he wanted when he went there, because Xi Honglei had a deep love for him. The reason why she still vowed to kill him is actually because she loves him to death.
As the saying goes, only when you love deeply can you hate deeply. If Xi Honglei had let go of him long ago, she wouldn't care about his life or death at all.
“Master Qi, you must succeed.” Xiaoyu also said expectantly.
Xi Honglei is her biological sister. She knows how painful her sister has been in these years, so she sincerely hopes that Qi Shaoshang can split the iceberg and warm her sister's long-frozen heart.
In addition, because Xi Honglei was emotionally hurt, he specially set up rules in Sinuo City. Any woman in Ruinuo City must find a man who truly loves her and is willing to die for her before she can leave Ruinuo City.
But this is a paradox. Since there are no men in Ruinuo City and women cannot go down the mountain, how can we find a man who truly loves each other and is willing to die for him?
This way, she can escape punishment. Kill two birds with one stone!
“Master Dazhai, please come back safely, brothers are still waiting to drink your wedding wine.” Lao Xuguang, Gou Qingfeng, You Tianlong and others also laughed.
Only Ruan Mingzheng, the leader of the third village, said nothing and looked lonely.
Xiang Nan knew that she actually fell in love with Qi Shaoshang at first sight and had a deep love for him. It's a pity that Qi Shaoshang has his own master, and he can only cry red tears in his heart, and he has let down her deep love in vain.
"Come, let's all have a toast to Brother Qi. I wish him all the best and a beautiful girl!" Xiang Nan suggested. Then he ordered someone to bring the wine jar and pour wine for everyone personally. He took the opportunity to pour some wine into Ruan Mingzheng's bowl. A little forgetfulness of river water.
Since she and Qi Shaoshang are destined to have no fate, why should she suffer from emotional pain anymore.
Everyone drank the wine in one gulp.
…
After Qi Shaoshang left, Xiang Nan not only fell in love with Fu Wanqinglang as his concubine, but also officially took over the affairs of Lianyun Village.
Because Song and Liao have made peace, there is no problem at the border for the time being.
Xiao Tianyou, the militant Pingnan king of the Liao Kingdom, originally led an army of 400,000 to annex the outside of the pass. He was planning to send his troops south to invade the Song Dynasty after the third prince of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Longxu, was assassinated.
As a result, the assassination plot was crushed by Zhuge Shenhou, and Xiao Tianyou naturally had no excuse for invasion. Moreover, it was also exposed that he colluded with Fu Zongshu and intended to provoke disputes between Song and Liao.
After the third prince Xiao Longxu returned to China, Xiao Tianyou's faction would inevitably suffer a blow, which also gave the Liao Kingdom's peace faction the upper hand.
Moreover, the Liao Kingdom is now under the reign of Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.
Like Huizong of the Song Dynasty, this man was a famous fatuous emperor in history. He was extravagant, greedy for pleasure, neglected government affairs, and favored traitors. As a result, his country's power was declining and he was unable to fight at all.
The Jin Kingdom to the north and the Xixia Kingdom to the west are eyeing it and take the opportunity to attack it.
So Xiang Nan knew that there would not be another war between Song and Liao in a short time. In the long run, the Liao Kingdom did not have the ambition or strength to defeat the Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, in a few years, the Song Dynasty would join forces with the Jin Kingdom to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom, and even once regained the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Hence, in the next few years, Lianyun Village will usher in rare peace. But then the Jin Kingdom would replace the Liao Kingdom, invade the Song Dynasty, and eventually capture Bianliang, the capital.
Song Gaozong Zhao Gou crossed the Nima River and settled in Lin'an, establishing the Southern Song Dynasty, with the Huaihe River as the boundary and confronting the Jin Kingdom in the north and south.
At that time, Lianyun Village in Zhuozhou will be under the rule of the Jin Kingdom.
If we continue to resist the Jin, all the eight village masters and three thousand brothers will probably die.
After all, Wen Ruian's martial arts world has a very high force value. But no matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he is still no match for an organized army.
Comparatively, in "Wind and Cloud", Wu Shen once commanded five thousand ghosts to invade the Central Plains, but was stopped outside Shanhaiguan by an unknown person. Five thousand elites are no match for one unknown person.
That is the true martial arts.
If there is no resistance, Lianyun Village will either surrender or migrate.
The eight leaders of Lian Yunzhai are all well-known tough guys. Naturally, they will not surrender to foreigners, so they have to consider relocation.
Looking across the Central Plains, there was almost no place of peace, so Xiang Nan considered moving overseas. Such as Baodao, Korea, Siam, Annan, Sulu and so on.
Just like the bearded guest in "The Three Heroes", he knew that he could not compete with Li Shimin, so he moved overseas and established himself as king.
