"Lord Shi, has the matter of returning to China been decided?"

As soon as Shi Sangang returned to Honglu Temple, he was surrounded by Wang Ningzhi, Wang Fuzhi, Tao Yuanming, and Xie Daoyun.

Without waiting to take a breath, Shi San smiled and said, "It's done, the negotiations with the Qin Dynasty Rite Department have been completed, and we can return to the country." ”

While speaking, Shi San took out a document from his sleeve and said triumphantly: "The customs clearance document is here!" ”

When everyone heard this, they came up to see it.

Shi San opened the customs clearance document, only to see that it really said that the Jin Dynasty mission was allowed to return to the country, and it was also attached with the seal of the Great Qin Zhongshu Province, the seal of the Great Qin Ministry of Rites, and the private seals of Li Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Pei Shengqin, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

With this customs clearance document, the Jin Dynasty mission can go all the way south from Chang'an and return to the Jin realm.

"A few months ago, Shi took Zhujun to the Qin Dynasty, and now it's time to bring Zhujun home safely."

Shi San was very happy, he thought that the mission to the Qin Dynasty had been completed very successfully, especially after Ji Kuang assassinated Pei Shengqin without authorization, Shi San thought that if he hadn't dealt with it properly, the Jin Dynasty mission would have been wiped out long ago. I was thinking about waiting for my reward after returning home.

"Good, good, good!"

Wang Manzhi stroked his beard and called three times in a row.

"Singing during the day must be indulged in wine, and youth is a good companion to return home!"

Tao Yuanming couldn't help but chant a poem to express his joy in his heart.

"Haha, I have been exiled from the country on the 27th day of September in the eighth year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, and it has been a whole month since then. Finally see the return date, this happy event, when the floating! ”

Wang Ningzhi laughed so much that tears flowed out, which can be described as crying with joy.

Only Xie Daoyun looked entangled, he didn't seem to be happy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Shi San saw Xie Daoyun's strange appearance, and couldn't help asking: "The return to China is imminent, but on this happy occasion, Mrs. Wang seems to be depressed?" ”

"Ah, is there one?" Xie Daoyun was taken aback, reacted, and casually found an excuse and said: "It's just that I think that Marquis Ji is in prison and can't return to the country with us, which is quite sad." ”

"I see, this matter is helpless, it's a pity for Marquis Ji." Shi San nodded, indicating that he agreed with Xie Daoyun's statement.

Wang Manzhi snorted coldly: "Ji Kuang's dog thing, in vain attempt, tried to assassinate Pei Hou, almost harmed our big guy, he deserves to be in prison, it's better to lock him up!" ”

Then Shi San and the others gathered all the people in the Jin Dynasty delegation and announced the good news, which attracted cheers from everyone.

"From today, there will be a three-day holiday, and everyone can move freely, or pack up, or visit relatives and friends in Qin, or visit the imperial capital of the Qin Dynasty. In three days, we will leave for China! ”

Shi San set off in three days, and these three days simply gave the entire mission a holiday.

After the mission was disbanded, Shi San called several main figures of the mission: "Tao sacrifice wine, Wang Taishou, and General Zuo and his wife, we are happy today, why don't we find a place to have a drink?" ”

Tao Yuanming, a literary youth and a fan of Pei Shengqin, suggested: "I heard that there is a restaurant in Chang'an called Chunfeng Building, and there is a couplet on Pei Hou's inscription in the building, so it is better to go there to drink, and Tao Mou can also pay homage to Pei Hou's ink treasure." ”

Shi San laughed and said, "Just Lord Yitao!" ”

A few people had no opinions, so they talked and laughed and walked out, and by the way, they called a Qin Dynasty official from Honglu Temple to inquire about the location of Chunfeng Tower.

As soon as I got out of Honglu Temple, I saw a person in front of me staggering and swaying towards Honglu Temple, looking like he was drunk.

"It seems that I met a drunk, but it was bad luck, let's bypass him."

Seeing that the drunk man was walking straight towards Shi San and his party, Shi San frowned, and planned to bypass it. The drunk man was dressed very gorgeously, he was not an ordinary person at first glance, and his return was imminent, Shi San didn't want to cause trouble in the Qin Dynasty.

Xie Daoyun said, "Hey, that person's figure is a little familiar. ”

Shi San asked, "Mrs. Wang has seen that drunk?" ”

Xie Daoyun looked at Wang Ningzhi: "Wang Ningzhi, look at that person, doesn't he look like a ...... That. ”

Xie Daoyun is now estranged from Wang Ningzhi, and he is too lazy to call him husband, basically by his name.

Wang Ningzhi also began to look at the drunk, and as the drunk got closer and closer, Wang Ningzhi finally recognized him.

"It's really him, Emperor Da Liang-" Halfway through his words, Wang Ningzhi reacted and hurriedly swallowed an emperor word: "Ah no, it's Guiyi Hou!" At the beginning, we said goodbye, but we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. ”

"Oh, it turns out that the drunkard is Guiyihou." Shi San had never met Zhang Tianxi, but he had heard his story. Zhang Tianxi defected to the Jin Dynasty with Zhu Xu last year, and was entertained by Wang Ningzhi at Huiji, but on the banquet, he was tragically served by Pei Yuanluo, Pei Shengqin, and his son.

This story of attacking Huiji is now spread all over the country, and it is the glorious deeds of the young famous Pei Shengqin. Zhang Tianxi, as the harlequin in the story, is naturally quite famous, but he doesn't have a good reputation.

Shi San naturally knew that Zhang Tianxi and Wang Ningzhi and his wife had an intersection, so he said: "Since they are the old people of General Zuo and his wife, can General Zuo and his wife come forward to see him?" ”

Xie Daoyun turned her head, she didn't have a good impression of Zhang Tianxi, so she naturally refused to see her.

Wang Ningzhi still remembered the martyr brother who was captured together, so he bowed his head and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute, Wang Mou went forward to meet Guiyi Hou." ”

At that moment, Wang Ningzhi stepped forward, walked to Zhang Tianxi, and said: "Wang Ningzhi has seen Guiyi Hou, and he has said goodbye to him, and he has not seen each other for more than half a year, does Hou Ye still remember Wang Mouhu?" ”

"Okay, Wang Ningzhi, it was you dog thing at the beginning, who kept saying that you could summon ghost soldiers to resist the enemy, so you opened the city gate without defense, which made Huiji fall and caused me to be arrested back to the Qin Dynasty. Wang Ningzhi, I have no grudge against you, but you want to harm me like this! ”

When Zhang Tianxi saw Wang Ningzhi, his eyes were immediately red, his expression was hideous, and evil was born to the side of his guts.

Wang Ningzhi only planned to say hello to Zhang Tianxi, but who knew that he was scolded by Zhang Tianxi, and he was immediately stunned: "Wang had a good intention to meet with Zhang Hou, why did Zhang Hou speak ill of each other!" ”

Zhang Tianxi was already drunk and unconscious, and he was all supported by anger, full of thoughts about finding the bad luck of the Eastern Jin Dynasty mission. At this time, he found the target to vent, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Wang Ningzhi, only to see him shaking and stretching out his big fist, and waved it straight to Wang Ningzhi's face.

"Thief, watch the fight!"

The drunken person's strength is a few points greater than usual, otherwise there would be no drunken fist. With Wang Ningzhi's figure, even if he is not Zhang Tianxi's opponent at ordinary times, not to mention that Zhang Tianxi is still playing drunk boxing at this time, Wang Ningzhi can't dodge.

"Ahh

The screams of killing pigs began to echo outside the Honglu Temple.

......

General Zuo suffered a total of 23 fractures all over his body, especially the fracture of the small bone of his right leg. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and there was no need to worry about his life, but in a short time, he could not move. ”

The doctor withdrew the hand that was placed on Wang Ningzhi's pulse and announced the results of the treatment.

Wang Ningzhi was lying on the couch, and in addition to Shi San, Tao Yuanming, Wang Fuzhi, and Xie Daoyun next to him, there was also Pei Shengqin - the left general of the Jin Dynasty was broken in the Great Qin Emperor, Pei Shengqin, as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, had to come and see it.

Of course, there was Zhang Tianxi, who was still squatting next to him, who had already sobered up, and when he woke up, his courage was naturally gone, Zhang Tianxi knew that he had caused trouble, and he was shrinking in the corner and shivering.

As for the doctor, it was a famous doctor that Pei Shengqin found from the Tai Hospital, and he also hoped to cure Wang Ningzhi. If Wang Ningzhi died and was disabled in the Qin Dynasty, even if it was just an accident, it would be an important diplomatic accident.

"Doctor, you said that Lord Wang couldn't move for a short time, I don't know how long this short time is?" Shi San asked anxiously, he wasn't worried about Wang Ningzhi's life or death, he was just afraid that Wang Ningzhi's injury would affect the return itinerary of the Jin Dynasty mission.

The doctor sighed: "As the so-called 100 days of broken muscles and bones, at least three months, General Zuo will have to lie on the hospital bed." ”

"Ahh This, how can this be good! ”

Shi San exclaimed, Wang Ningzhi couldn't leave for three months, could it be that the entire mission had to stay in the Qin Dynasty and wait for him for three months?

Pei Shengqin also asked the doctor: "Will General Zuo's injury leave a disability?" ”

The doctor shook his head: "Fortunately, the perpetrator used fists and feet, not sharp weapons, and the treatment was timely, so he had to rest for a few months, and General Zuo could recover as before." ”

Pei Shengqin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Ningzhi was not crippled, as for whether he could return on time, it had nothing to do with Pei Shengqin. Anyway, the customs clearance document has also been opened, and the chapter has been stamped, and he can't move because of something, and he can't blame Pei Shengqin.

"Pei Hou, Ben Hou was drunk at the time, what he did was not his intention......" Zhang Tianxi began to beg Pei Shengqin for mercy.

Pei Shengqin refused to answer, just waved his hand and said: "The matter of beating people on the street should be handled by Jingzhao Mansion, not the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Hou doesn't have to tell me." Let's go back to the house first, Ben Hou will truthfully report the matter to Jingzhao Mansion, and then there will be an official messenger to hold him accountable. ”

The case of assault and assault was originally handled by Jingzhao Mansion, but the matter involved foreign guests, Pei Shengqin, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was qualified to intervene. But Pei Shengqin is already very big now, how can he still have the spirit to pay attention to Zhang Tianxi, so he simply sent him away first, and then kicked the ball to Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhang Tianxi walked away in a gloomy manner under the angry gaze of the Jin people, and while walking, he secretly wondered how to defend himself when the official messenger of Jingzhao Mansion came to the door.

As soon as Zhang Tianxi left, Shi San and the others also began to discuss.

Shi San and Tao Yuanming agreed that they couldn't change their itinerary because of Wang Ningzhi, and simply threw Wang Ningzhi in the Qin Dynasty to recuperate. If Wang Ningzhi only lay down for ten days and a half months, then he would have to grit his teeth and wait. But Wang Ningzhi has been lying down for three months, and there are more than 100 people in the mission, plus dozens of former officials and gentry who are willing to return to the country, all of them are like arrows, how can they wait so long!

Wang Manzhi originally wanted to wait for Wang Ningzhi, but after thinking about it, he had to stay in the Qin Dynasty for at least three more months, and he was reluctant to do so. Although the specifications of Honglu Temple to entertain foreign guests are not low, and they have never shortened the food and clothing of the Jin Dynasty mission, but after all, it is far less luxurious and lascivious than they lived in the Jin Dynasty. As the so-called from luxury to frugality, they are used to being powerful and blessed in the Jin Dynasty, but in the Qin Dynasty, they have to be people with their tails between their legs, so they are naturally unwilling to stay in the Qin Dynasty for a long time.

So after struggling for a long time, Wang Manzhi also agreed with Shi San and Tao Yuanming's opinions.

"In this case, we will return to the country first, and then leave Ning Zhi to recuperate in the Qin Dynasty, and when Ning Zhi's injury is healed, it is almost time for Marquis Ji to be released from prison, and Ning Zhi will return to the country with Marquis Ji."

One of the two deputies and three envoys, after discussion, came up with the above solution. As for Xie Daoyun, she has no right to speak, although she and Wang Ningzhi and her husband and wife have a noble status in the mission, they are not the envoys of this mission after all, and they are not qualified to decide the actions of the mission.

"Daughter-in-law Dao Yunsun, you should also return with the mission first, and after a few months Ning Zhi returns, you can reunite with your husband and wife." Wang Manzhi still remembered his nephew and daughter-in-law, and kindly persuaded him.

"No, Wang Ningzhi and I are husband and wife, and he is recuperating from his injuries in the Qin Dynasty, how can I return to the country alone?" Xie Daoyun secretly looked at Pei Shengqin, and for some reason, he suddenly didn't want to return to the country, and said in a ghostly manner: "I want to stay in the Qin Dynasty!" ”
