Zhang Shixun didn't even bother to care about the bad things that happened in the Zhao Ji Dynasty.
The six traitors of the Northern Song Dynasty formed cliques for personal gain, embezzled money and abused their power, lived a life of debauchery, excluded dissidents, and exploited the people. They did everything that treacherous officials in history could do.
The actions of these people were the direct cause of the Fang La uprising and the invasion of the Jin Dynasty.
Their fate was doomed from the beginning.
Li Shishi looked at Zhang Shixun with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what are your plans for now?"
Zhang Shixun didn't even think about it and blurted out, "My plan is to have no plan."
"You mean, do nothing?"
"Right! Do nothing and wait and see."
After hearing this, Li Shishi seemed relieved. "That puts my mind at ease."
Ding Dusai nodded repeatedly, "Just don't do it. The court is now in a state of chaos. Honest officials can't stand it. With your character, it's best not to get involved in this mess."
"I'm very happy that you understand."
Zhang Shixun picked up a bottle of Gao Lao Zhuang wine, opened the bottle cap and smelled it, then said with regret, "It's such a good wine, it's a pity that it can't be brewed anymore. Every bottle I drink is one less."
As he spoke, he poured them some wine: "Come on! We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today we meet again, let's have a drink to celebrate."
Li Shishi and Ding Dusai did not refuse. They picked up their wine glasses, clinked them with his happily, and drank them all in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, the two women's cheeks quickly turned red.
Zhang Shixun looked at their beautiful faces and couldn't help but say, "To be honest, I can't wait to marry you tomorrow."
After these words were spoken, the two girls' cheeks became even redder.
Ding Dusai smiled brightly, "Sir, this is what you said, don't just talk and don't do it. If you don't marry us tomorrow, you will be a puppy."
Li Shishi lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhang Shixun glanced at her and said to Ding Duchong with a smile: "If you are in a hurry, it's okay to enter the bridal chamber tonight."
Ding Dusai's face turned even redder, and she said coquettishly, "Sir, it's not like you to say such things."
"It was just a joke, don't mind it." Zhang Shixun quickly stopped smiling and said, "To be honest, I called you two here today because I want to talk about my future plans."
After hearing this, the two women looked at him together.
"The Jin soldiers are like wild wolves in the wilderness. Their nature is such that when they see their prey, they won't just take a bite. They'll devour it completely, eating it until not even a bone is left. Their retreat this time is only temporary. It won't be long before they return..."
Li Shishi asked, "When will they invade again?"
"My guess is that it will be around August."
The two girls looked at each other.
"I want you two to go to Jiangnan to hide for a while. What do you think?"
Ding Dusai asked in return, "What about you, sir?"
"I will stay here and wait for the right opportunity." Zhang Shixun's face turned serious when he said this. "The Jin soldiers are brutal and ruthless, bringing disaster to the world and harming the people. I will not sit idly by and watch. I must make them pay a heavy price."
Li Shishi's face was calm, and she said calmly, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay here with Mr. Zhang."
Ding Dusai also said: "My sister and I think the same thing. Wherever the master is, I will be there."
Zhang Shixun said anxiously, "I asked you to go to Jiangnan not simply to escape the war, but for other plans."
Ding Dusai shook his head. "Sir, don't say anything. My sister and I are staying here and won't go anywhere unless you leave too."
Seeing how determined they were, Zhang Shixun had no choice but to say, "If that's the case, then stay, but you must listen to me."
Ding Dusai nodded quickly: "As long as you let us stay, everything is up to you."
Zhang Shixun turned to glance at Gao Yanei, only to see him slumped over the table, drunk. He then retracted his gaze and addressed the two women, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the government is in utter chaos. His court officials are all mediocre, incompetent, and cowardly. Only one, Li Gang, stands out as an upright warrior, but he's constantly being suspected and marginalized, unable to hold his own. If the Jin invade again, the government will surely be doomed."
Li Shishi looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Is this what you meant by 'the right time'?"
"Yes, and no." Zhang Shixun picked up the bottle and filled it for them, then filled his own. He continued, "As a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, I cannot stand by and watch as billions of people suffer the cruelty of the Jurchens. In this time of crisis, I will definitely stand up and raise my arms to fight for the people of the world and restore the country."
Li Shishi was shocked when she heard this.
Oh my god!
He wants to restore the country.
Such words are tantamount to treason.
Li Shishi raised her index finger to her red lips and said, "Master Zhang, be careful with your words! If someone with ulterior motives hears this and reports it to the court, it will be a serious matter."
Ding Dusai was not nervous at all. He smiled and said to Li Shishi, "Sister, now you know. The master has extraordinary ambitions. He is waiting for the right time to save the people of the world."
Li Shishi looked at Ding Dusai, then at Zhang Shixun, and suddenly laughed. She raised her glass and said, "Then let's drink to my husband's lofty ambition."
"Dry!"
The three of them drank their glasses of wine together.
Zhang Shixun deliberately revealed his ambitions today, and his purpose was very clear, which was to gain their support.
Now that my goal has been achieved, I feel indescribably happy.
Ding Dusai couldn't hold her liquor well, and after a few drinks, she was already exhausted. She leaned towards Zhang Shixun, half leaning on him and said, "Sir, the Jin soldiers are very powerful, and their cavalry is invincible. It won't be easy for you to defeat them."
Zhang Shixun held her slender hand, thought for a moment, and then reached out to pull Li Shishi's hand. Li Shishi struggled slightly and let him go.
"The Jin soldiers are brutal, and the men in your family are no pushovers either. As long as there are no obstacles, I will definitely beat the Jin soldiers to a pulp."
Ding Dusai leaned closer to him and said, "I... of course I believe that you are so brave and powerful, you are an immortal who has descended to earth and can summon heavenly thunder and heavenly soldiers and generals..."
As she spoke, she fell asleep.
Zhang Shixun hugged her and gave Li Shishi an awkward smile, "She...her alcohol tolerance is really too poor. She shouldn't have been allowed to drink so much."
Li Shishi pursed her lips and smiled. "Saisai's behavior is exactly what you want, isn't it?"
"This..." Zhang Shixun said shamelessly without blushing or beating his heart, "How about you lean on my arms too?"
He thought Li Shishi would be angry, but unexpectedly she came over to him openly and said quietly, "If I don't rely on you in this life, who else can I rely on?"
Zhang Shixun gently stroked her shoulder and said, "Just lean on me."
