Zhao Ji welcomed him out of the palace gate and said from a distance: "Several dear friends, I have worked hard all the way."

Since Emperor Taizong defeated the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Song Dynasty was mostly at a disadvantage in the battle with Liao. However, the Song Dynasty always wanted to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. A few years ago, Tong Guan went to the Liao Kingdom to envoy the Liao Kingdom. Ma Zhi, a son of the big family of Youzhou, secretly visited Tong Guan to offer advice at Lugou Bridge, and made friends with the Liao people, provoked conflicts between the Jurchens and the Liao Kingdom. Then he joined forces with the Jurchens to capture the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in one fell swoop. Tong Guan asked him to use the pseudonym Li Liangsi and brought him back to the Song Dynasty.

But Tong Guan himself did not believe that the great Liao Kingdom would die if it was said to be destroyed. Taking Ma Zhi back was only his family. There were many reasons for the defeat of Emperor Taizong Gao Lianghe, which was improper organization, miscommand command, and failure to reward in time. The soldiers were trapped in the battle to pacify the Later Han Dynasty. There was another important reason for the wise king of the Liao Kingdom, that is, the four major families of the Han family, the Ma family, the Liu family, and the Zhao family in Youzhou. Bringing Ma Zhi back has some symbolic significance.

But it was after the secret meeting between Lugou Bridge that the Jurchens began to rise.

The kings and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were darker than the Song Dynasty and had a heavy oppression on the various tribes in Liaodong. They regarded the Jurchens as the lowest-class nation. They not only allowed the mature Jurchens to bear the taxes, but also had to capture many Haidongqing for the Liao nobles in one year. However, the area where Haidongqing grew up was still in the north, and the Jurchens were born. As a result, the mature Jurchens, who took the task every year, took them away with a big sword and a spear, and left behind the corpses. The most hateful thing was that when they came, they not only robbed eagles and property to kill people, but also wanted young and beautiful girls in the clan to "recommend pillows".

Conflict erupts.

Four years ago, Wanyan Agud, the leader of the Wanyan tribe, raised an army to rebel. The Liao Kingdom sent 800 Bohai Army to suppress it, but it was defeated and lost Ningjiangzhou City.

The Liao Kingdom sent another 100,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the Jurchens, and Aguda only had 7,000 soldiers. The two armies joined each other, and the Liao Kingdom returned in a great defeat and lost the three prefectures of Liaobin, Xiang and Xian.

Zhang Lin, the prime minister of the Southern Prefecture of Liao Kingdom, rushed to conquer 100,000 troops and attacked in four groups. One of them was defeated again, and the other three groups retreated without fighting after hearing the news. The Jurchens established the country as Jin, and Aguda was called emperor.

The next year, the Liao Kingdom sent an army of 270,000 to conquer the Jurchens, but was defeated and lost Huanglong Mansion.

That winter, the Emperor of Liao personally led an army of 700,000 to fight against the Jurchens, and Aguda only had 20,000 troops. The two armies were in a stalemate, and Gao Yongchang, the general of the Bohai Sea in Liao Kingdom, rebelled. The Liao Kingdom drew some troops. Aguda took the opportunity to concentrate his troops to attack the Liao Kingdom's central army, and the left and right wings attacked, and the Liao army was defeated again. Gao Yongchang sent envoys to seek help, hoping that the two forces would work together to eliminate the Liao Kingdom. Aguda refused, but instead concentrated his troops to attack Gao Yongchang, defeating the rebels of the Liao army and Gao Yongchang in a row, and capturing the Tokyo city.

In just two and a half years, most of the Liao Dynasty and Liaodong were controlled by Aguda.

Originally, it happened in the distant Liaodong and had little to do with the Song Dynasty. But at this time, a alchemist named Gao Yaoshi from Suzhou, which was already occupied by the Jin Dynasty, came to the Song Dynasty and reported these situations to the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers.

Only then did everyone think of Ma Zhi’s suggestions.

At least with the current strength of the Jin Kingdom, we can make a friend.

Zhao Ji asked Gao Yaoshi to serve as a missionary to the Jurchens on behalf of the Song Dynasty, and issued an order to ask the Dengzhou Prefect Wangshi to choose seven generals and officials on a sea boat with Gao Yaoshi, hoping to find out what Gao Yaoshi said about the authenticity and the Jurchens in the name of buying a horse. When he arrived at the shore, several generals and officials saw that there were many fierce Jurchen soldiers patrolling on the shore and did not dare to go ashore. Gao Yaoshi was also dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty and thought that the Song Dynasty was too contemptuous. So everyone drove the boat back. Zhao Ji was furious and sent these generals to the frontier.

In April, Ma Zheng, a minister who was proficient in foreign languages, as well as seven generals and eighty soldiers and Gao Yaoshi, were sent to the Jurchen again. After Aguda met, he took Wang Mei and Liu Liang and six people hostages, and sent Bohai native Li Shanqing, a mature Jurchen Sandu, and three Jurchen Boda, and brought the letter of the country and Beizhu, Jin, Diao Ge, ginseng, pine nut and other items to the Song Dynasty with Ma Zheng and others. The journey had just returned.

Zhao Ji was happy to find a friend, but he was happy to be the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

...

New Year's Day is approaching, and the capital is full of festive atmosphere.

Zaojiazi Lane.

When I arrived at Zaojiazi Lane, I approached the east wall of the inner city and gradually became deserted.

Two people knocked on the door when a family came.

The owner opened the door and said in surprise: "Nephew Guo, you are back."

"Get into the house and talk."

The three of them went in again, and the middle-aged man said, "I heard that the Song Dynasty had built the Nine Cauldrons before I came back with Junior Brother Gao to take a look."

"Just just made, Tai Chi Feiyun Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave and Wine, Mountain Five Gods, Smart Cave Abyss, Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Cave, Chaos Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave, Floating Light Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave Cave, Spiritual Light Shaking God Refining Cave Cave Cave, Cang Turtle Fire Snake Insect Fish Gold Wheel Cave Cave."

"This is good news."

“Not necessarily.”

“Why?”

"Look at my face."

"Uncle Master, I didn't pay attention. What happened?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.

"I was seriously injured by one person."

"Who has such supernatural powers?" The middle-aged man was surprised. With his uncle's ability, not many people in the world could hurt him.

"I'm ashamed, I was beaten to the point where I had no power to fight back, and I didn't even see the other party's shadow."

"What's going on?"

The old man roughly explained the story of the battle between Cao's mansion.

He is the "King Kong".

Later, the flames stopped, otherwise the soul would be destroyed that night. Even so, he was seriously injured, his cultivation was greatly damaged, and his injuries were much heavier than Qin Su'er's palm when he was hit by the Great Seer of the Demon Sect.

"Can they come out?"

"No, even those old monsters don't have such magical powers."

"How could it be? There has been a long time since the abilities of the Xuan level or above appeared... Besides, the void would have been broken long ago."

"I wonder, if there is such a person, why should I fight for this luck?"

"How are the people over the East Valley?"

"They never agreed on this matter, but they also sent some people. The little girl in the sect went to Jiangnan without knowing the height of the world. She was injured by the old monster Zhang with a palm. She hid in Liangshan for several months and was injured when she returned to Beijing and was chased by the Demon Sect and was injured again."

"Can it be that old monster took action? He has lived for a long time."

"No, no matter how long he lives, it won't work. Moreover, he has a evasion attitude. He doesn't provoke him or others. With him alone, he still doesn't dare to do anything. Otherwise, that little girl wouldn't want to come back."

"Then you can check the clues from those three men and one woman."

"I am sending someone to investigate secretly. That night, the soldiers arrived and several people left one after another. This incident spread all the time, and the action should not be too big for the time being. I am very worried about..."

The middle-aged man understood what he meant, and he was afraid that another Chen Tuan would appear in the Central Plains.

...

New Year's Day is coming soon.

Li Zhong brought his cousin Chen Ling to Yaoyuanzi and gave an introduction.

Sitting down, Chen Ling asked, "Brother, you are extraordinary. I think your family is in a good state. What disease did your mother have? Why did you have to ask for Pure Yang Pill? Why did you come to Shenxiao Temple?"

Money and silk are touching.

Xu Xian took action and was worth nearly a thousand guan. This was a considerable amount of money. Although the Cao family was a bit biased, with a house and a garden, the money could be at least half of the Cao house. It could buy 200 acres of fertile land outside the capital. Perhaps it was not very rare in the eyes of rich people, but it was enough to make a commoner family become a well-off family.

Chen Ling was moved.

But he didn't understand some things. People with this money think that their families are not weak. Maybe they need Pure Yang Pill to cure diseases, but all roads lead to Tokyo City, why do they have to use Pure Yang Pill?

Even if you have to use Pure Yang Pill to pay for this money, why do you have to sneak into Shenxiao Temple yourself? To put it bluntly, before Lin Ling was developed, she had this money and provided sufficient materials to allow Lin Ling Su to refine a bottle and slowly eat it as a fruit.

Of course, he did not expect Xu Xian to get a fortune.

Xu Xian couldn't tell the real reason, and said, "That's right. My father was a businessman when he was alive, and his family had some extra money. A few years ago, my father died and his family fell into trouble. My mother was seriously ill again. I accidentally heard that Lin Xianjun's pure Yang Dan could cure his mother's illness. However, Lin Xianjun is a noble man. Because my younger brother's family background cannot be obtained, hence he devoted himself to seeing him. He could see if he had the chance to meet Lin Xianjun... but he didn't expect to arrange to come to the medicine garden, which was almost the same as a servant. This made Manager Li ask Master Chen. I wonder if Master Chen has any news about Pure Yang Dan?"

"I am not satisfied with my brother. Although I am not the most expensive disciple of the Immortal Lord, I occasionally do some chores for the Immortal Lord, including when he refining elixirs, he has never heard of the Immortal Lord refining any pure yang pills."

"Then please ask Master Chen for me, I will give you a good reward."

"This is OK, but now something has happened, so I don't dare to worry about the Immortal Lord. This is also the reason why I came to inform you."

"What's the matter?"

"You guys are brave enough to dare to interfere in the matter of the Cao family. That night the fight shocked the capital. The Immortal Lord's holy favor was high, but some people were not very satisfied. They probably instigated him in front of the crown prince. The crown prince went to the palace to impeach Lin Lingsu. I hope Your Majesty will kill him. I remember that he knows that the law is vast and incredible. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, Master Xuan and others will see him in Beijing, and they can fight with Lin Lingsu and distinguish the evil and righteousness. The prime minister Cai Jing and other ministers agreed. So the emperor agreed, and the crown prince invited fourteen Buddhist monks to the Ningshen Temple to fight with Lin Xianjun today."
