Chapter 126: Insatiable old thing
Wan Yanqing came to the north moat, and brought a lot of people, there were thousands of cavalry alone, not to mention the infantry in the front and rear, as well as the maids.
Before and after, the vastness and pomp were full.
It seems that he is not here to announce the decree, but like the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom parades.
Gao Hongyi stood on the high platform and laughed at this.
A truly famous person, even if he is dressed in cloth, strolling through the world, the mountains and rivers will be magnificent, and the people will flock to it, that is the real pomp, these are just a moment of prosperity.
The two pretty little maids on the left and right helped the obese Wan Yanqing get off the carriage and walked straight to the high platform.
Seeing Gao Hongyi, Wan Yanqing was stunned for a moment and said, "It turns out that you are so young!" β
Gao Hongyi smiled slightly and knelt down to accept the order.
Wan Yanqing also read out the will according to the number of rites, and then helped Gao Hongyi up, squinted his eyes and said: "The virtuous nephew is now the appointed general of the Northwest, the emperor's grace is vast, and the virtuous nephew must do his best!" β
"I will follow the teachings of the Yan Zhao envoy, and the envoy will be tired all the way, please go back to the house for a while." Gao Hongyi replied.
"Okay, lead the way." Wan Yanqing said with a smile, looking like a rich man, very kind.
On the way to the city lord's mansion, Wan Yan couldn't stop praising Gao Hongyi, a young hero, a good ruler of the army, and a pillar of the country.
Gao Hongyi felt that it was too much for the dignified Jin Guozheng Sanpin's recruiting department to compliment himself so much as a rebel general.
But looking at Wan Yanqing's serious face, it didn't look like he was cheating.
Gao Hongyi couldn't help but think again in his heart, could it be that he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain and mistakenly believed the rumors. Wan Yanqing is not a greedy person who forgets his righteousness, but a good official who serves the country and the people.
However, this is just a thought, for the current Gao Hongyi, thinking about things will not be so simple, it would be too naΓ―ve to judge whether a person is good or bad just by his words and deeds.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Wan Yanqing was still like this, polite, as if he was a subordinate.
Regarding the banquet prepared by Gao Hongyi, he bluntly said that Gao Hongyi was too extravagant and unnecessary.
After dispelling Gao Hongyi's original thoughts about how to deal with Yan Qing, a group of people happily ate, went back to their rooms, and slept calmly.
It's just that this comfort turned into melancholy on the second day.
Early in the morning, after Gao Hongyi had breakfast, he had to see off Wan Yanqing.
Of course, it was not Gao Hongyi who drove him away, but Wan Yanqing said that his errand had been completed, and it was inconvenient to stay here longer, and it was also saved to disturb Gao Hongyi, anyway, it was for Gao Hongyi's good, so he had to leave after staying for a day.
Of course, this was also unexpected by Gao Hongyi.
However, since Wan Yanqing was leaving, Gao Hongyi was also very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
Wanyan Qingqing got up very early, and after Gao Hongyi arrived, he had already eaten breakfast, and was instructing his subordinates to pack up their things and prepare to leave.
Gao Hongyi stepped forward to greet him, saying that he had prepared the specialties of Beihu, which could be regarded as a piece of the heart of the people of Beihu.
Wan Yanqing smiled and pretended to shirk it, but finally accepted it.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door, one of Wan Yanqing's personal guards ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, and Wan Yanqing's complexion immediately changed.
He looked at Gao Hongyi with a smile and said, "Virtuous nephew, you sent me so many things this time, so you broke the bank." β
Gao Hongyi arched his hand and said, "It's a joke to recruit envoys, it's all some of the intentions of the people of Beihu, and Hongyi is just transferring it on his behalf." β
"The hearts of the people of the North?" Wan Yanqing snorted, "That's really big, the old man can't stand it!" β
After Yan Qing said and walked forward, he walked straight to the carriage full of gifts, without saying a word, he pulled out his saber and gently picked up the top box, stretched out his head to look forward, and said with a dissatisfied face: "What is this?" β
Gao Hongyi stretched out his head to take a look, the box contained the unique herbs of Beihu Winter, which was very effective when used to make tea and relieve lung ventilation.
The name Cold Winter is very good, and herbs can be seen everywhere in Beihu, but they can't be bought outside, and it can be regarded as Qin Xi's preparation.
But Gao Hongyi knew in his heart that Wan Yanqing took out a knife and made such a big posture, after all, the fox's tail was about to be exposed, so he replied: "This is the heart of the people of the North Protector." β
"Heart, you can say it." Wan Yanqing said angrily, "Gao Hongyi, you use such a little thing to fool the envoy, what do you mean, do you not take the envoy in your eyes, or don't you put the emperor in your eyes?" β
"What do you mean, sir? Isn't it the greatest thank you to the emperor that the lower officials sent the hearts of the people of the north to the adults? Gao Hongyi pretended to be puzzled.
"Bold! Under the banner of the people, you are swaggering and deceiving the old man, and you are still a little tender. Wan Yanqing roared angrily.
"Young man, don't forget, the envoy came to canonize you as the general of the northwest by the emperor's will, and the old man came to see you in person, don't you take it for granted, you understand?"
Gao Hongyi secretly scolded in his heart, this old thing, he really doesn't want to be cheeky, isn't it just for gold and silver? When you come, you pretend to be so tired for a day and a night, not tired!
Since you can pretend, Lao Tzu is not unwilling, Gao Hongyi continued to pretend not to understand, and said: "My subordinates don't understand, please ask for instructions." β
"Don't understand? Then I'll remind you. Wan Yanqing stared at Gao Hongyi, walked up to him and gritted his teeth and said, "Ma Tangfeng is famous for gold and silver everywhere, since you killed him, then the gold and silver treasures in his family will also fall into your hands." Young man, I don't want much, you can just pull five carts for me, ah. β
What a fucking lion opens his mouth, and pulls five carts, dog things! You're not afraid of choking!
However, after Yan Qing's dignified Jin Guo Sanpin, he didn't have any scruples and asked for it directly, which also made Gao Hongyi insightful. Gao Hongyi is very contemptuous of him now, if he wasn't strong now, it would be difficult to tear his face with him, and he would have scolded his mother.
But since Wan Yanqing has torn his face, Gao Hongyi can't pretend if he wants to.
"Got it?" Wan Yanqing suddenly said loudly.
"Got it." Gao Hongyi immediately replied, but he already had a plan in his heart.
He walked up to Wan Yanqing and said, "Recruit the envoy, it's not that Hongyi doesn't want to give it, it's really that Ma Tangfeng's gold and silver treasures are not in Hongyi's hands, and they are still in Xihu Ma Tangfeng's house." β
"Absent?" Wan Yanqing wondered.
"Yes, Ma Tangfeng, a traitor, harmed his subordinate's mother, and after his subordinate unified Xihu, he immediately returned to his mother to settle down, and many things have not been dealt with so far, and Ma Tangfeng's house has been sealed, and he hasn't had time to go to cook." Gao Hongyi replied.
"That means that Ma Tangfeng's treasures are still in the house, and you haven't touched at all?" Wan Yanqing asked in surprise.
"Indeed, subordinates don't dare to deceive and solicit envoys."
Wan Yanqing nodded with a smile, "Virtuous nephew, you said that you didn't have these things if you said no?" Really, alas. β
"Well, I'll send someone to Nishigo to fetch it. To be honest, the old man was also unwilling, but the emperor specially explained, you can understand. β
"Yes, it's just that the envoy also knows that the army of the Western Xia Kingdom is attacking Xihu, and if you send someone to pull gold and silver at this time, I'm afraid it's not safe."
Wan Yanqing said with a smile, "You, didn't the old man come this time to bring two thousand cavalry, just let them go, your people and horses in the province are not enough, and it will delay your major event of exterminating the invasion of the Western Xia Kingdom." β
Gao Hongyi was stunned for a moment, Wan Yanqing really did everything, no wonder he brought so many cavalry over, it turned out to be a trick. But just let you go, and you'll be able to bring it back? Gao Hongyi thought about it and smiled secretly, but replied with great gratitude, "It's better to think about it, and your subordinates will send someone to take your cavalry over." β
Wan Yan Qingxi smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are so talented, the emperor is very happy that you are the general of the northwest." Although it is the first time we have met, the old man and you really have a sense of familiarity at first sight, and we must have more contacts in the future. β
"My subordinates understand, thank you for your attention."
"Okay, it's not too early, the old man is leaving." Wan Yanqing said goodbye and left. At the same time, he instructed his subordinates to take away the several carts of gifts that Gao Hongyi had prepared.
This old thing, no matter how much it is, no matter how big or small, as long as it is given to him, there is no reason to go back, it is really greedy for money to the extreme.
Gao Hongyi couldn't wait to kick him out and immediately sent him away.
After Yan Qing left, Gao Hongyi found Mei Rou and asked her to send someone to Xihu quickly, and ordered Mei Feng to do everything possible to lead the cavalry of the Western Xia Kingdom to the head of Wan Yanqing's cavalry, so that this old thing would come for nothing.
