There are many people with the surname Yun in Jianning County, but when talking about the Yun family in Jianning, everyone will only think of the house in Jiang'an County;
There are many Su families in Yunmeng Prefecture, but when talking about Yunmeng Su family, everyone will only think of the Wubao on the shore of Dongting Lake;
There are many bamboo forests in this world, but if bamboo forest is used to refer to a place or a family, then everyone will turn their attention to the huge bamboo forest in the east of Zhongjing City.
Because there is an old man living in the bamboo forest.
This old man represents the bamboo forest.
In the future, if a young person can take over this extremely heavy banner, the glory of the bamboo forest can continue for decades more.
If it cannot be taken over, the bamboo forest may become just a bamboo forest again.
The old man who can represent the bamboo forest sits in the bamboo forest, and the young man who will represent the bamboo forest walks into the bamboo forest.
When he saw his grandson coming in, the old man was not surprised, nor did he ask any questions. He smiled and nodded at the bamboo chair opposite, "Sit down and drink some tea."
Jiang Yuhu didn't dare to do it in front of millions of people, but he didn't dare to do it in front of his grandfather, whom he admired most and regarded as his lifelong idol. He took out the letter paper from his arms and said, "I read an article today and it was very well written, so I wanted to give it to my grandpa. have a look."
The old man chuckled and straightened the thin blanket on his knees. The wrinkles on his face were deep and horizontal, like the marks of the mountains and rivers he had crossed in his life. "You can help grandpa read it."
Jiang Yuhu picked up the letter, cleared his throat for the first time, and began to recite.
"Don't be happy with things, and don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in a temple, you will worry about the people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about the king who worries about the world first, and then enjoys the happiness of the world."
When he finished reading, he found that his grandfather had fallen into silent thinking.
He waited quietly until the old man reached out and took the pieces of letter paper.
"The Chinese character Jin Jiancheng is too ugly."
"My grandson feels the same way."
"Xia Jingyun, is that the boy from Sishui Prefecture you mentioned before?"
"Well, there are few people who are not useless."
The old military god smiled and glanced at his grandson. His old eyes seemed to understand everything.
He smiled, "Yueyang Tower, Dongting Lake, Su Family, haha, very good, worthy of these words."
Jiang Yuhu said softly: "If the grandson's prediction is correct, his trip will definitely benefit the Su family. If he can get the support of the Su family and the protection of Concubine De, this court may have another pillar."
The old military god put down the letter and said with deep meaning: "Only those that are grown are called towering trees, and those that die on the way can only be used as firewood."
Jiang Yuhu's heart moved, and then he snorted coldly.
——
That mysterious house in the southern suburbs of the capital.
There is no longer a black cloak by the pool. The noble and mysterious man is wearing a thin shirt, sitting in a warm room, facing a chessboard in front of him, quietly playing music.
A man walked to the door, took a look, and stood aside with his hands tied, waiting for the other party to stop before speaking softly.
"Lord."
"What's the matter?"
"An article came from Yunmeng State."
The man raised his eyebrows. The words worthy of this confidant were certainly not ordinary words, so he extended his hand.
When he took it and looked at it, he fell into silence.
After a moment of silence, he said, "How much damage has been done to Yunmengzhou?"
"Two core personnel have been lost. The one who poisoned the Su family's boss and the one who stayed with the Su family's fourth son have been found. Lord, don't worry, both of them have committed suicide by taking poison. Su was blamed for the assassination of the Su family's third son. On the contrary, the second oldest one in the family escaped. But the rest of the forces we run in Yunmeng State and the Su family were severely damaged. There was a big purge within the Su family, and many of our secret chess games in Yunmeng State were also followed. Found it."
The man looked at his lord's face. This was the rare time that his lord had failed twice in a row since he took charge of the business, and it was all because of one person.
He plucked up the courage and said, "Lord, it's that Xia Jingyun who ruined our good deeds again this time. And I heard that the eldest lady of the Su family is quite attracted to him, which guarantees that he can follow this path to control the Su family. In addition, he wrote Do we need to take some measures to publish this kind of article?"
"What are your plans?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want to try to do it?"
The man was silent for a moment, "Of course you can kill him. His identity is nothing to worry about."
"Then my subordinate will make arrangements now?"
"Let's give it a try." The man picked up a chess piece and put it in his hand to play with. "But remember, don't make too much noise. Your Majesty has noticed us now. The dog of Heibingtai has jumped up to the naked eye a few days ago. One of Ji's confidants, although that confidant died in time, there is no guarantee that Hei Bingtai didn't get some clues."
The man's heart trembled, and he nodded quickly, and then he hesitated and said: "But if we don't use too many things, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill him?"
"It doesn't matter."
The man threw the chess piece back into the chess jar, "Let him go to Beijing, and I will kill him as well."
"My lord is mighty!"

Xia Jingyun did not know that the aftermath of a "Yueyang Tower" had reached Zhongjing City, nor did he know that he would face a fatal disaster. He was currently standing under the wall of Yunmengzhou City, in a daze.
After coming to this world, he has gradually become accustomed to the height of this world, and feels that Sishui Prefecture City is already a majestic city.
But now, standing under the city of Yunmeng Province, he knew what a heroic city was.
The dark wall looks like cold iron hammered out by thousands of hammers, or like a giant beast rolling repeatedly in the quagmire to dry the armor condensed on its body. Combined with the majestic height and neat military facilities, it is enough to scare any intruder. The person has the intention to retreat.
"Mr. Su, Brother Gao Yang, look at this impregnable city. There are many of them in the world, all of which are heavily guarded by imperial troops, but there are still so many useless people saying that the Great Xia Dynasty is about to disappear. It's really ridiculous! "
Bai Yunbian proudly pointed to the city wall of Yunmengzhou City and spoke loudly.
That's not necessarily the case. I'll tell you the story of the Great Qin and the Great Sui later.
When Bai Yunbian said this, Xia Jingyun's originally dazed heart became worried again.
A strong army and a strong city have never been the real basis of a dynasty.
It's the people's will.
It is obvious that Daxia has lost a lot of people's support.
He and Su Yuanshang looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
There’s a long way to go!
Sighing, everyone followed Bai Yunbian and followed the bustling crowd into Yunmengzhou City.
After entering the city, everyone did not linger around, but went directly to Chang Shi's Mansion.
Along with Bai Yunbian, they paid homage to Bai Changshi.
Su Yuanshang and Bai Changshi have a good relationship. Although Su Yuanshang has resigned from office and returned home, Bai Changshi did not show any arrogance in a snobbish way. He still stayed with him to chat privately and showed him enough respect.
Baiyunbian, who had been away from home for many days, naturally wanted to pay his respects to his mother.
Xia Jingyun had nothing to do, so he and Chen Fugui took a brief stroll around the city.
About an hour later, the two went back.
Chen Fugui frowned, "Sir, why do I feel that the atmosphere in this house is different?"
Xia Jingyun also felt something was strange, so he called a boy over and instead of asking directly, he asked, "Where is Mr. Bai?"
The boy lowered his head and said nothing, cupped his hands, and hurried away.
Xia Jingyun felt something was wrong, and quickly ran back to the yard where he was staying temporarily. He saw Su Yuanshang still sitting leisurely in the yard, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Su, is there something going on in the house?"
Su Yuanshang put down the tea cup, "Why do you ask like that?"
"I just found a boy to ask about Mr. Bai's whereabouts, but he didn't dare to answer."
Su Yuanshang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This kid is kneeling in the ancestral hall now!"
"ah?"
Xia Jingyun's eyes trembled, "What did he do?"
"It's not a big deal. He had a fight with his father."
"Why are you making noise?"
"He wanted to go to the capital with you, but Bai Changshi probably didn't want to get too involved with Concubine De at this time, so he asked him to wait a little longer before setting off with the students from the state school. Then the two of them started to quarrel, Bai Changshi felt that he didn't understand the general situation, went his own way, was impulsive and reckless, and reprimanded him. This kid was not a good person, he even talked back, so he was taken to the ancestral hall and knelt down."
"Just because of this, you have to go to the ancestral hall to kneel down? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Su Yuanshang glanced at him, "Do you know how he talked back?"
Xia Jingyun looked curious.
"Old man, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty to the west of the river, don't bully the young to be poor!"
Xia Jingyun's head was covered with black lines, and he held his forehead silently.
Sorry, the update is a little late today.
