Chapter 331: Out of the City
Qin Guogong and the others waited patiently in the post house for two days, Xiao Qian did not show up again, and only called two officials from Honglu Temple to come every day to report and say hello.
Lord Lu repeatedly asked when he would be able to see the Six Princes, and the officials of Honglu Temple all shook their heads and said they didn't know.
Qin Guogong couldn't help but get angry, and first unceremoniously scolded the two officials to the point of disgrace, if he hadn't been stopped by Lord Lu, he was afraid that he would have beaten these two people to cry and call his mother.
Of course, this is all superficial acting for the six princes.
Secretly, Yan Yuan's small movements were frequent, and he sneaked into Qin Guogong's bedroom late that night, and said with a smile: "It's done... Concubine Yuan agreed to meet with the envoys of the Dadu Dynasty. ”
Qin Guogong's face was overjoyed, and then he was worried, "So fast, there won't be fraud, right?"
Yan Yuan said: "No, she gave me this." As he spoke, he took out a wooden sign from his bosom.
Qin Guogong took it, approached the lamp and looked at it carefully, and nodded at the end, "Yes, this is the identity token of the Beiyi people." The original concubine belonged to the patriarch's branch, and the bauhinia totem on it represented her. ”
Yan Yuan continued: "She asked us to meet at the Laoshan Pavilion outside the city tomorrow. ”
"Will the patriarch of the Beiyi clan go?" Qin Guogong couldn't help but ask.
Yan Yuan nodded, "It should be." ”
Qin Guogong was full of expectations and said, "So as long as we convince the patriarch of the Beiyi clan, they may turn against us and help us defeat the Southern Yu Kingdom." ”
"No, at most, they will stand by and watch, the reason why I can say that Concubine Yuan is to prevent the Beiyi people from getting involved in this war as bait, and they will definitely put forward conditions again, and it will be up to you to deal with it at that time." ”
Qin Guogong couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, everyone is not stupid. ”
Yan Yuan smiled, "Concubine Yuan used to be a little stupid, but unfortunately she was taught to be smart by the Six Princes. ”
Qin Guogong also smiled, "Then we have to prepare, let's go out of the city early tomorrow morning... Of course, you have to think of a good reason not to be suspicious. ”
Yan Yuan touched his nose, "The reason has already been thought of for you... I want to go to Laoshan to visit the Qingxu Daoist. ”
"Qingxu Dao Chief?" Qin Guogong looked puzzled.
Yan Yuan explained: "Nanyu advocates Taoism, Qingxu Daochang is a well-known Taoist in Nanyu, it is said that he knows astronomy, geography, and can pinch and calculate, which is completely comparable to the master of Huijue of the Dadu Dynasty. ”
Qin Guogong's eyes lit up instantly, "So because we are curious, we want to take this opportunity to meet the Qingxu Daoist, and by the way, give them the first and second in our hearts?"
Yan Yuan smiled, "Of course, this is a matter of luck, it is not easy to see a Dao Master with such a big reputation, just like Master Huijue, not anyone who wants to see it can see it." ”
"But Master Huijue is now involved with the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, but I'm afraid it won't be so awe-inspiring in the hearts of the people. ”
Yan Yuan didn't answer, his expression was a little sad.
Master Huijue is his uncle, once in Hulu Town, he swore that he would be optimistic about that person, but in the end he let him escape, so that he was fooled by Xiao Qian to come to Nanyu Kingdom, did so many things, and finally died in Jinzhou.
Speaking of which, the master has a certain responsibility for the death of that person.
Either way, that man had been his master after all, and he couldn't be as vicious and ruthless as that man.
Of course, Qin Guogong didn't understand the grievances and grievances between them, and just thought that Yan Yuan felt sorry for Master Huijue.
After a while, Yan Yuan quietly left.
Early the next morning, the two officials of Honglu Temple, who had been scolded to the core, came cheekily again.
Of course, Qin Guogong didn't give them a good face.
The two officials laughed, and were about to retreat after bowing their hands to Qin Guogong and Master Lu, but they were stopped by Qin Guogong, "Slow!"
The two immediately turned around and stood with their heads bowed, "What do you command?"
Qin Guogong said lukewarmly: "Since the six princes of your country have no time to receive us and other foreign ministers, then there is no need for us to rely here to consume your country's food." After going to Laoshan today to visit the Qingxu Daoist, he will leave for China in two days. ”
"What's the matter, Lord Guogong is going to visit the Qingxu Daoist?" the Honglu Temple official seemed surprised.
Qin Guogong glared, "What's the matter?"
The official of Honglu Temple hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, then the next official will go and prepare first, and then set off after a while." ”
Qin Guogong said: "Forget it, if you don't want to work for you, let's go by ourselves, don't get in the way in front of our own country, just send two familiar pawns." ”
The officials of Honglu Temple said in their hearts that we are the little pawns in front of the master of the horse, and those who were sent by him to come here to suffer, how can there be other pawns, but this was not said in the end.
Even if he was really a pawn, no one was willing to admit it in front of outsiders, so one of the Honglu Temple officials nodded and said, "Okay, everything is according to the orders of Lord Guogong." ”
Not long after the two of them retired, they saw four tall men dressed in forbidden army costumes come in and salute, saying that they were sent by the lord to accompany the distinguished guests to Laoshan to lead the way.
Obviously, after the two of them went out, they asked the people above, and they sent these four men with good skills to lead the way.
It is said to lead the way, but in fact, it is more about monitoring the whole process.
This is something that Qin Guogong did not expect, but now that the person has come, it is definitely not possible to refuse, unless he does not go to Laoshan.
Qin Guogong hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, lead the way in front, don't cause trouble... I heard that the Qingxu Daoist is most tired of us martial artists from the army, and this is a sincere visit from the Duke of China, do you know what to do?"
The four men said yes in unison.
In order to show that he had no dissenting intentions, Qin Guogong did not bring a single guard, but only rode with Lord Lu and followed the four forbidden troops out of the city slowly.
He believed that there must be people arranged by Yan Yuan along the way to take care of it.
This young man is not ordinary, he really underestimated him before.
If it weren't for the emperor's trouble, Yue'er wouldn't have been forced to choose a son-in-law, and at that time she complained about how she chose such a guy, and now it turns out that Yue'er's vision is not bad...
As he expected.
Yan Yuan did arrange a lot of manpower along the way. Originally, he wanted to kill those four people after leaving the city, but after thinking about it, if Xiao Qian's traitor also sent other soldiers to follow behind, wouldn't killing them at this time be tantamount to exposing the purpose, it would be better to confirm one or two again.
Competing with Xiao Qian, he has never taken it lightly.
Not long after Qin Guogong and his party left the city, a small group of people hurriedly left the city.
Yan Yuan, who was hidden in the shadows, suddenly frowned.
He wondered if Xiao Qian would take this opportunity to attack Qin Guogong and Lord Lu. After all, the two of them are not only out of the city now, but they don't have a single guard by their side, so even if an accident happens, most of them have 10,000 reasons to deal with it.
If the majority of the capital dynasty took the initiative to send troops, it would be right for the appetite of the six princes.
