Chapter 14: Suddenly
"What happened?" Lian Xixian said angrily with a blushing face, yesterday night, the Song people suddenly sent a large number of soldiers to surround the residence of him and his entourage. Except for his room and the two lieutenants, the rest were driven out, their weapons were collected, and they were imprisoned.
It's already the early morning of the second day, his eyes are swollen and his expression is a little dazed, he is not afraid of things, he is afraid of such an unexplained accident. The envoy of the Yuan people, the Song people did not do it, that Hao Jing Hao Bochang, was detained by them for more than ten years, and was only released in the middle of this year, Lian Xixian did not see him when he left Beijing, but I heard that he was carried back, so he walked very slowly, and it is difficult to say whether he can hold on to return to Kyoto.
Could it be that this time, the Song people have victory to rely on, and they are ready to do it again? Lian Xixian didn't dare to think deeply, staring at the sergeants outside the window with his fists clenched, there was nothing terrible about death, but if he died after being detained for more than ten years, he could rush out and fight with them now, anyway, the Great Khan would definitely avenge his people.
"Shangshu, let's wait a little longer, the Song people must have acted like this for a reason, how could they come to inform me and wait, otherwise it wouldn't be just house arrest." Yan Zhongfan didn't know why, seeing the expression of this envoy, he was afraid that he would be impulsive, so he comforted him in a low voice.
Lian Xixian slowly stood up and took a long breath, but he knew that the depression in his heart could not be relieved, and things had been very unsmooth since he entered the Song Dynasty. In Dusong Pass, he was imprisoned once, and finally arrived in this Lin'an City, and he had not started his own mission, and now he has become a prisoner under the stairs, and he is still a young man at the bottom, and the passion in his blood is greater than reason, and the high nose and deep eyes on his face have obvious characteristics of the Western Regions, and this moment seems to have ignited the fighting spirit.
Humiliation is equivalent to humiliation of the country, he has made up his mind, he will never let himself be at the mercy of others like Hao Jing, if the Song people want to provoke the anger of the Great Khan, then come! Yan Zhongfan on the side looked at him worriedly, he was just a deputy envoy, he had no right to decide, and he could only act according to orders now.
A large number of footsteps sounded outside the door behind him, Lian Xixian tightly grasped the long handle of the saber, although he rarely went to the battlefield, it did not mean that he could not use the knife, and the other hand gently stroked the golden tiger talisman tied to his belt, quietly waiting for that moment to come.
"You are here to guard, and you are not allowed to enter without the orders of your own officials." Chen Jingxing, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said this simply, and entered with his head held high with square steps, there were not many people in the room, and a few Yuan people dressed as pro-soldiers blocked the three people behind him, looking at him nervously, and his hand was already on the hilt of the knife.
"Which one is Lian Shangshu, the official Chen Jingxing, who is now living in the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, you don't have to be alarmed, a certain person came to announce the intention of the imperial court." Chen Jingxing stood still a few steps away from them, stretched out his hand to indicate that he had brought nothing, and the sergeant outside the room stared at those Yuan people, for fear that they would burst out and hurt people.
Lian Xixian looked at the situation opposite, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites can be regarded as a high-ranking official, but if he is really held hostage, it is difficult to say whether the Song people will let him go, and with such a move, even if this trip to Lin'an is in vain, no matter what, this person can not be underestimated by himself when he enters the room alone.
"Lian is here, I don't know what your official has to say here, what is your intention to detain the envoys in the court? If you can't give an explanation for this matter, you can only bring someone back, if your country wants to impose an obstruction, Lian will accompany you with this life, do you know what price you will pay? ”
Chen Jingxing ignored the threat in his words, killing the imperial court would definitely not be able to do this kind of thing, and if he was detained, he would have to see if there was a legitimate reason. This time, he thought about his intentions, even if he really killed you, it was justified, is it a good person? There's something terrible.
Shang Shu said with a smile, this time I came to discuss with you to see how to solve this matter, if you want to explain, I'm afraid you made a mistake, you owe Da Song an explanation, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as an explanation. Why, this is your own room, a certain scholar, helpless, don't you dare to come out and talk to someone? ”
"Since Chen Shilang said so, what is Lian to be afraid of, what do you mean by saying that you want to give you an explanation?" Lian Xixian pushed away the soldiers in front of him and walked out, the two looked at each other, each took a few steps forward, and threw the entourage behind him, he sensitively captured the key in Chen Jing's jargon, confess? What he did, he recalled in his mind, but he couldn't get the point.
Chen Jingxing couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the disguise of these Yuan people was really good, it seemed that they didn't seem to know, was this possible?
"I am an important minister, Huaixi system envoy Xia Gui was assassinated in Luzhou City a few days ago, according to the assassin who was caught afterwards, they are all your people, and they have been sent to the city for more than a year, the person in charge is surnamed Yi, and Lian Shangshu should not say that he does not recognize this person." Chen Jingxing didn't talk nonsense with him, and simply told the story.
All the confessions and murder weapons were sent to Beijing yesterday, but it is a pity that the person in charge could not survive the punishment and died. Of course, these people were all deliberately arranged by Li Tingzhi, and the hard-mouthed ones had already sacrificed the flag, and in order to make this matter ironclad, he had to help Liu Yu.
Listening to Chen Jingxing's words, Lian Xixian was taken aback, no wonder the Song people had this reaction, of course he knew who Xia Gui was, although he didn't know the inside story, but in his heart he almost believed that this qiē was true. There is no need for the Song people to do such a game just to harm themselves, and even on the surface, it seems that his political enemies in the court did it on purpose, he was a little stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Lian Shangshu." Chen Jingxing looked at his colleague with some pity, "There is another matter, your ministry sent troops from Jinghu, and now it is attacking my Huaixi jurisdiction, and it is difficult for people to believe that it is not your country's doing, this dynasty advocates etiquette and can't do anything to kill and vent anger, so the current behavior is already extremely restrained, and I hope you will understand." You have to think about it, if this dynasty sends people to Dali to assassinate your brother Lian Xixian, what will your Great Khan do? ”
Chen Jingxing's tone was flat as if he was doing homework, but Lian Xixian sounded like a knife in his heart, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal. If this happened in Dadu, the envoy of the Song people must have hung his head on the city gate at this time to show the public, and the fighting spirit he had just given birth to didn't know where to fly at once.
"I also hope that the squire will inform your court that this official really does not know about this matter, let alone participated, otherwise he would not have thrown himself into the net like this. Please give your country some time and let someone send someone back to investigate, and in any case, I will definitely give your country an explanation. Lian Xixian's words were a little bitter, and he unconsciously weakened, as if he lowered his head, this was the first time he had done this since he was a messenger.
"The official is willing to believe what Shang Shu says, but the imperial court can't just talk about it lightly. Anyway, what Shang Shu said will go back and report to the top, you have to be wronged here, except for these people in the room, the rest must be locked up in Lin'an Mansion first, please Shang Shu appease everyone, this is just an expedient measure, okay? ”
Chen Jingxing's measures made him unable to say anything, he could only nod and act in obedience, looking at the sergeants who were guarding him unwillingly being escorted away, Lian Xixian, Yan Zhongfan and the others all shook their heads depressedly and smiled bitterly, this is really a disaster, he hated the person who acted in his heart, isn't this harmful? Even if you want to start a war, you can wait until you return from this trip.
I have to say that Liu Yu still underestimated the fear of people in this era for the wild land, and returned to his military camp. Jiang Cai summoned his military academy, and as soon as he said his decision, the people in the tent looked at each other, and some of them had become very ugly, even his cronies, Shi Zhong, was no exception.
Jiang Cai slowly swept over these subordinates with a stern expression, although none of them spoke out against it, but none of them agreed, which already clearly showed their attitude, unwilling! He understood what these people were thinking, but in fact, even he felt that Liu Yu's clever tongue was dizzy, so why did he respond in a daze.
"All are unified, Chen Xianggong can't cover the sky with one hand, let's be strong and strong, no matter which Xianggong is there, go and take refuge in one. It's a dead place, and you can't come back if you go, and the brothers don't have to say it, but it's all because you're not worth it, and I hope you all think twice. Shi Zhong said in a low voice, the tent was already very quiet, and his voice still made most people hear it clearly, and everyone looked at Jiang Cai, all of them meant this.
Looking at their faces, Jiang Cai remembered all the things he had done since he returned to the north, every battle was the first, and most of the battle achievements were taken by people, and he never said much. But this time, both his father and son were bloody on the battlefield, what did they get in exchange for in the end? Regardless of whether what Liu Yu said is true or not, he should make trouble with those people in the political hall for his own good, unless he gives up this Great Song Dynasty to vote for Tartars, which Jiang Cai never thought about at all.
"Brothers, we are martial artists, and no Xiang Guild will stand up for us. A certain intention has been decided, if the brothers do not want to, Jiang will not be reluctant, you and others are all veterans, you are not afraid of no one to ask for it, if you want to leave, you will also send a Cheng Yi, everyone should get together and disperse. Jiang Cai's words revealed a sense of depression, he knew that those veterans who had followed him for many years would not leave, only the people recruited later were estimated to not follow him anymore, no matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, how can they force it.
"It's not like this, even if the ministers don't want to come forward, let's go to Fuque to write a book, I don't believe that the empress dowager and the official family will let them behave like this." An officer said angrily, Jiang Cai recognized that he had joined the army later, and he was a little moved in his heart, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand to stop him.
"Fu Que Shangshu, that's something that only literati can do, let's do it, it will become a mutiny and forcing the palace. Do you understand, the official family is still young, how can the empress dowager be able to beat those ministers, forget it, it's still the same sentence, go or not, but by voluntariness, they are all good brothers of so-and-so. ”
Jiang Cai drove them out, Shi Zhong walked at the back, still looking a little unwilling, Jiang Cai beckoned to him and motioned for him to stay.
"You won't say anything, you will naturally know in the future, now go and find Da Lang, there are some things to tell him." Shi Zhong nodded and turned around and walked out, he is Jiang Cai's brother in life and death, even if he goes to the underworld, he has to accompany him, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only obey, he can think about it, since this is already the case, it is useless to think about it more, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.
Jiang Ning walked into the tent suspiciously, his injuries had basically healed, but there was a terrible scar on his back. Jiang Cai told him to turn around and gently caress the wound, as if he saw the dangerous situation of the day, he was going to travel far away to the "end of the world" that Liu Yu said, how could he keep this seedling, and then leave a queen for the Jiang family, then he would die without complaint.
"I'm going to send you to Liu Taishou's place, whether it's a personal soldier or an entourage, I'll listen to his orders, this is a certain arrangement, you just need to do things well, you can't disobey orders, otherwise it's disobedience, do you hear clearly?" Originally, his father's unexpectedly good temper today made Jiang Ning, who was used to being scolded, worried, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he sold himself and did not let himself express his opinion.
"As for what you said, I will find an appropriate time to mention it, whether it will be successful or not, I dare not guarantee it, just know it." Immediately afterwards, Jiang Cai said another sentence that stunned him, and he seemed to be falling into a cloud, not knowing where he was at the moment. R1058
