Just as the spies were about to retreat quietly and report to Lord Zongze, one of Wanyan Zongjun's men blew a whistle. A few people around immediately surrounded the spies.
"What are you stopping me for? I am under the command of Lord Zongze!"
The spies had no choice but to shout, asking for help from the officers and soldiers in the crowd.
It's just that as soon as the words fell, the black tiger flags with a moon-white background that were flying just now at the east end of the crowd seemed to have lost the person who carried the flags. Three-five, three-five sticks fall to one side. After a little effort, the flag was no longer visible in the crowd.
The Tai students who were caught by the Jurchen tycoon, looked at the commanders in front of the palace, they were all scared, and they generally drooped their heads.
The people who eat melons naturally dispersed. In less than two minutes, the crowd thinned out so much that Zhang Luo could see the intersection of the two main streets.
She couldn't help but take a peek at Yue Yuhou, the current leader of the battalion patrol.
Sure enough, Yue Yuhou was so angry that his eyes were round. He pushed with his big hand, and a big man who was blocking the way was pushed back by him.
"This is the imperial capital of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the envoy has arrived, he must first deliver the documents to Honglu Temple and wait for the official to summon him. Please!"
Having said that, several of his battalion soldiers also went to bring Zongze's spies over.
Wanyan Zongjun was surprised that he didn't take advantage of it. One of his servants, a tall, fair-skinned man in an ultramarine cloak, with a golden sword at his shoulder, stepped forward at once:
"I'm a newcomer to Bianliang, and I'm not familiar with the place. Not only does your country not even have a single adult to greet our mission, but it also arranges these idlers to insult our country on the street, but what is the courtesy of hospitality? Come!"
Having said that, the more than fifty burly followers of the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin and the helpers hidden in the crowd all pulled out the guy with a "huo". Surrounded Zhang Luo, Brother Huzi, Yue Yuhou and others.
Frightened, Yue Yuhou's twenty or so battalion soldiers took a step back. One of them was so timid that he even dropped the red tasseled spear in his hand to the ground.
Yue Yuhou narrowed his eyes.
From early today to now, Da Song (mainly the people who eat melons, including those who hold the Black Tiger Banner, and Liang Ba and the others), has lost face in front of the Jurchens. He felt that if he retreated further, he would make Jin Guo see Da Song's joke.
The man's bloodiness covered Yue Yuhou.
He first stuffed the young master into Zhang Luo's arms, and then pressed his chest against the big man in the ultramarine cloak. The tip of his nose was only one finger away from the other's nose, forcing him to stop taking a step forward. The big man in the ultramarine cloak naturally smelled the killing intent, and immediately held down the long knife on his waist.
The two sides are fighting, it seems that there is a thin line between them.
Brother Beard hurriedly drove Zhang Luo and the young master to the door of the tea shop. Xiao Er, who chased people away just now, also hid behind the counter. The idlers who can run, all run away in an instant. Liang Ba and their cronies also fled eastward.
At this moment, the movement of a low-pitched but powerful man came from the nearest street.
"Your envoy's words are serious. Although the old man dare not refute 'unfamiliar land', your envoy's 'people don't give birth'. Otherwise, how can I even inquire about the relatives of ordinary people in Bianliang so clearly?"
Zhang Luo looked out from the gap under Brother Beard's elbow:
This man was wearing a purple official uniform, but with a gold belt and a long-winged Usha official hat, riding a gray donkey with long ears and no saddle.
Wan Yan Zongjun patted the shoulder of the big man in the ultramarine cloak, and the two sides were temporarily separated by three or four points.
"I was overjoyed to be greeted by Lord Qingzong of Honglu Temple in person."
Wanyan Zongjun really knew everything about the Song Dynasty, even Zong Ze, who just got the idle job of "Nanjing Honglu Temple Minister" and went home to retire, recognized him.
The old man Zongze chuckled, got off the borrowed donkey, stepped forward and took Yan Zongjun by the arm, and left.
"If you don't dislike it, Zong Mou will 'lead the rein' for your lord and escort you to Honglu Temple."
Wan Yan Zongjun looked at the old man Zong's hand on his arm, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he was amused: the old man was scolding him secretly, but the scolding made him feel good, so he laughed.
Before leaving, he ignored his "brother" Hu Zige, but took a look at Yue Yuhou:
"It is a good thing to have a backbone, but it will kill you if you are too rigid! This little Yuhou should thank Lord Zong for saving his life."
Yue Yuhou's throat moved twice, his back stiffened. He didn't lower his head until the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin had left.
Wanyan Zongjun is right, his responsibility is to protect the safety of the city. If he really started fighting with the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin today, it would ruin the court's affairs and disrupt the city defense. Not only will I lose my errand,If he lost his life, he would also harm his subordinates and their families.
With a flash of light from the corner of Yue Yuhou's eyes, he found that Liang Balang and the Tai students fled eastward, only half an inch away; while Zhang Luo, Brother Huzi and the little boy fled southward, in the direction of Miyagi, and escaped only seven or eight times. step.
He was funny and angry, and he didn't bother to chase them. He simply led the people to Fu Yin and Liang Ba's wounding, and then returned to the camp under his jurisdiction.
Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the door, he would see Chen Baicheng, the capital of the city defense, coming towards him angrily. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and slapped a battalion soldier beside him, and even spat:
"It was released from the palace, so what?! What kind of family is the Liang family, and you are the one who scorned it?"
"The general will not dare to accept Du Yuhou's words. It is indeed"
Yue Yuhou blushed unconsciously, he knew that the battalion had only suffered on his behalf.
"Ah! Someone dare to refute what I said? I dare not use you here. I will send you back to Mr. Tong's door right now, and let him arrange you elsewhere!"
Chen Baicheng's eyes flashed with enthusiasm:
"If the father-in-law knew, what would you think if you got involved with Zong Ze and the female accountant who specifically harmed the father-in-law today?"
Yue Yuhou tightly held the clothes at his hand, not letting himself knock down the mangy who pretended to be Du Yuhou. He didn't know what Tong Guan would think, and he didn't know what the emperor thought when he heard the story.
Because Huizong didn't sleep well at noon yesterday, he took a long sleep at noon today. A few scroll paintings that were recently enshrined in the Academy of Painting were constantly flashing before his eyes:
First there are bright flowers and birds, then there are three or five young girls slapping and laughing at each other in the spring scenery of the garden, and finally there is a large herd of wild horses galloping across the field.
This axis, a map of horses obtained from Nanjing (now Beijing) in the Liao Kingdom, was Huizong's favorite. In his dream, he wanted to observe one of the white horses carefully, thinking about taking it into his paintings in the future.
In the dream, when I was watching happily, I heard Eunuch Zhang calling to himself softly:
"Officials, official"
"Officials, Gao Taiwei said that there is something urgent and asked to see the officials."
The emperor couldn't wake up, so he was naturally furious: "Come on, fork out, don't see you!"
Eunuch Zhang retreated to the gate of the hall and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is gone, let Gao Taiwei turn around, and then come back to Your Majesty: Jin Guozheng is returning the seven states of Yanyun and entering Beijing."
The emperor turned over on the bed and didn't talk to him.
Eunuch Zhang glanced at it and continued, "As for the matter of the accountant sneaking out of the palace, wait"
Before he finished speaking, he ate the emperor's pillow behind his back:
"What trouble did she get into again? Could it be related to the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin?"
Eunuch Zhang smiled, lying next to the emperor's ear, and recounted everything that happened from this morning to just now, omitting Yue Yuhou's name and Brother Beard. The emperor was amused and annoyed, and he slapped the side of the bed:
"She still has her hair disheveled, running around?! Go tell Honglu Temple, but you won't give her a salary."
However, the emperor didn't mention a word about Zongze's successful resolution of the crisis.
Eunuch Zhang covered his face, smiled and nodded vigorously. He understands the emperor best: Although what Zongze does is beneficial to the country, the emperor despises him as "arrogant of his talent", "doesn't it mean that no one can use him except him?". In officialdom, what the old man did was very unwise.
When Gao Qiu came in, the emperor also woke up completely with laughter, leaning on the couch, and said to eunuch Zhang:
"Since the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin has seen it, he asked her to go with him to talk about the matter of rewards. During the reception this evening, he also asked her to accompany him to have a meal to make up for the lack of talk in the morning!"
"Yes! The servant thanked His Majesty on Accountant Zhang's behalf."
"Remember to reward two more clothes and hairpins, don't be unkempt."
"Yes! This servant will deliver the decree for His Majesty."
Eunuch Zhang walked past Gao Qiu and frowned.
Gao Qiu, who is tall and looks a bit like a prawn, is the most coincidental in the officialdom. He immediately understood that now is a good time to talk about recruiting Liao general Zhang Jue.
Zhang Jue was a native of Luan County, Hebei Province. He was a Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom, and he became the deputy envoy of the Liao Xing Army. When the Song and Jin soldiers agreed to destroy the Liao Dynasty, Zhang Jue surrendered Wanyan Zonghan who came to attack the Liao Dynasty, and worshiped him as the Jiedu envoy of Linhai and Zhipingzhou. And this Pingzhou, as one of the nineteen prefectures of Yanyun that was lost to the Liao State at the end of the Tang Dynasty, was not among the seven prefectures that the Jin State wanted to sell to the Song Dynasty. The emperor naturally felt that his literary and martial arts, lacking in Pingzhou, was half missing.
Gao Qiu wanted to win Pingzhou by recruiting Zhang Jue, and compete with Tong Guan for favor.
Therefore, Gao Qiu specially asked people to select those scroll paintings to contribute, because they had profound meanings.
After a few words, the emperor really asked:
"Marshal Dian, I remember that you can also interpret dreams. Just now I had a dream about going from a flower and bird girl in spring to ten thousand horses in the field. Do you think this dream has something to do with the current situation?"
