Chapter 455: Preparing for the Rain

The Jin State bordered the Liao State, and the Liao State bordered the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin State and the Great Song Dynasty had to pass through the Liao State if they wanted to contact the Great Song Dynasty by land. Now that Liao and Jin are at war, it is impossible to go by land, so they have to go from the Bohai Sea and then through Goryeo.

Since Goryeo has always been a neutral country, Liao and Jin went to war, and Goryeo was a small border country and did not participate in it. As for who wins, then it depends on whom, this is the most common phenomenon. In addition, Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty had constant diplomatic relations, so they entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom from Goryeo.

The stakes are very high, and there is also a great danger in this mission. If it arrives safely, it is okay, but if the Liao State sends troops to intercept it from the sea, it will be full of dangers, and there may be no return. Zhao Gou's route was known only to the people in the negotiation team, and no one else knew.

Because Zhao Gou was worried that someone in the DPRK was secretly colluding with the Liao State, if he really sold the country, then he and the others would be in danger.

For the sake of safety, Zhao Gou didn't bring many people with him, only Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong set off from Bianjing and went directly to Dengzhou, Shandong. Since they set off from the Bohai Sea, all the ships were supervised and built by local officials, and Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others were dispatched back from all directions, and even the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun also returned.

Because the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun are originally good at water kung fu, bringing them can be regarded as adding wings to the tiger in case of a water war. In addition, Zhao Gou arranged for more than 100 people to travel together, plus sailors and others, all of whom changed their faces, put on the clothes of merchants, and went to sea on the pretext of selling cloth.

If it is an upright trip, I am afraid that it will be a big wind, which will be very unfavorable to Zhao Gou and others. Zhao Gou is the second son, Zhao Yougong is the eldest son, and the others are guards, sailors, etc. Everyone dressed up as merchants and went to the Kingdom of Jin, just to hide people's eyes and ears.

Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, and Gao Chong set off from Bianjing, and they rushed to Dengzhou non-stop along the way, where they met Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others; Then, they set off together and met with Zhang Shun and the Ruan brothers in Laizhou, and more than ten people went to the cargo ship together to become officials and businessmen.

Going to sea in the name of officials and businessmen, Zhao Gou felt that it was inappropriate, and arranged dozens of people, all of whom were first-class masters, and those soldiers in the court, the Imperial Forest Army and others were all useless, and they were replaced by people from Amber Villa. Because these people are not only strong in personal martial arts, but also have self-control, they have experienced some things, so that stage fright will not occur, and they are all good players.

Although this ship has more than 100 people, its combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the 1,000-man forward battalion. Whether it is team combat or individual ability, it is enough to have the ability to protect oneself. These are also prepared by Zhao Yi in advance, and nothing major will happen in the DPRK and China for the time being, even if there is something to do, he has to put it down and go all out to accompany him.

It can be said that Amber Hill has the most power. This is also the first time that Zhao Gou has met with most people, Zhao Yougong introduced them one by one, and Zhao Gou greeted them one by one. All the names of the people were replaced by code names, and they also saved me from remembering them one by one.

Now that the people have arrived, Zhao Gou didn't wait for anything, and went out to sea directly. In addition, if you want to dress up as an official or businessman, you have to have some goods, all of which are placed in the hold, including cloth, tea, porcelain, etc., and some weapons.

"Brothers, how are you doing?" Everyone gathered in the cabin, Zhao Gou looked at everyone excitedly, they hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and when he saw everyone's appearance, he really wanted to have a good drink with everyone.

However, at this moment, it is inappropriate, Zhao Gou can only replace wine with tea with everyone and salute each other. If you really drink, I'm afraid that you will be drunk and unconscious, and then something really happens, then it is not fun. Because this is at sea, even in the Bohai Sea, there is still danger.

"All well!" Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others replied in unison.

Lu Junyi asked, "Senior brother, who are these two?" ”

"This is the king of Chu and my brother; As for this is my master's only son, his surname is Gao Mingpet! Zhao Gou introduced with a smile.

Everyone saluted Zhao Yougong slightly, and they felt that Zhao Yougong had a kind of Jianghu atmosphere, not like a prince, but like a person in the rivers and lakes. Besides, Zhao Yougong has never met everyone, so he doesn't know each other. After Zhao Gou's introduction, everyone was also very respectful.

As for Gao Chong, this made Lu Junyi, Yue Fei and others puzzled. Because they are from the same family as Master Zhao, if the master's only son, Yue Fei and the others don't know, Lu Junyi will definitely know it. However, Lu Junyi looked up and down, looked left and right, and still didn't know him, until Zhao Gou explained it again, and everyone suddenly realized.

Gao Pet kept a cold face and didn't smile, and everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but Zhao Gou didn't say anything, because this was Gao Pet.

"Since Brother Gao is the only son of His Royal Highness's master, he must have good martial arts, so why don't we learn from each other!" Niu Gao roared loudly, he is a martial artist, and he is straight, and he never beats around the bush when he speaks. I heard about the origin of Gao Pet, and my hands were a little itchy, so I asked for advice.

Gao Zhong looked at Zhao Gou and saw that he didn't have any opinions, so he agreed.

Although Niu Gao's martial arts are good, he is still too far behind Gao Chong, and he was defeated in only three rounds; Then, Zhang Xian also greeted him, and the two consulted together, still three rounds; In the end, Zhang Xian and Wang Gui also went up, and the four of them faced Gao Zhong together, but they couldn't go through five rounds, and everyone was convinced.

Yue Fei sighed: "It's better to be ashamed! ”

Lu Junyi was surprised: "Senior brother, where did you find it, such a master is not as good as my marksmanship!" ”

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "What Gao Pet has learned is the Gao family gun, among the many marksmanship, it is normal to rank first with the Gao family gun, even if it is a senior brother." That's why I brought him out and let him see the generals of the Kingdom of Jin with his own eyes! ”

Lu Junyi understood what Zhao Gou meant, because Gao Chong's marksmanship was really powerful, not only domineering, but also deadly. Lu Junyi and Yue Fei are both guns, and they also see that the spear used in Gao Chong's hand is also a famous gun, and the most important thing is that Gao Chong's marksmanship is much better than them.

Even if they go in person, they are afraid that they will be defeated, and they know that they are not as good as it.

Niu Gao and the others were dumbfounded, they felt that their martial arts were not weak. But in front of Gao Pet, they are like children playing tricks, they have no power to resist at all, not to mention, they are simply pressed and beaten by Gao Pet, which makes them very surprised.

Gao Pet dealt with them with ease, and he tried his best and seemed to have not done his best, which shocked them a little. But they have all been defeated, and there will be no jealousy, more admiration.

"Brother Gao is good marksmanship!" Niu Gao exclaimed, "Even if I have been practicing for several years, I still can't catch up with Brother Gao's martial arts, I am convinced!" ”

Gao Zhong replied: "Niu Xianfeng is polite! ”

Niu Gao and the other four were not Gao Chong's opponents, which made the Ruan brothers and Zhang Shun also dumbfounded. Their water kung fu is very good, and their hand kung fu is not bad, but they are a few points weaker than Niu Gao and others. Compared to the two, they are not high-ranking opponents.

Lu Junyi looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, and then asked: "Senior brother, it shouldn't be so simple for you to ask the emperor to send an edict to let me wait to accompany the envoy to Jin Guo and talk about the alliance!" ”

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Why did Senior Brother say that?" ”

Lu Junyi looked at Zhao Gou without squinting, and said with a smile: "When I received the holy decree, I was suspicious. From what I know of you, you shouldn't be so simple about going to the Kingdom of Jin. If it's really just to talk about the alliance, I don't have to participate with the third junior brother and the others, just have the junior brother, the king of Chu, and the senior brother. ”

"With Brother Gao's marksmanship, he is really called the first in the world, and no one can match it. Even if you fight with the generals of the Jin State or encounter trouble, you don't have to worry; Although the king of Chu has never seen him, he also knows his affairs, and there is no need to talk about his resourcefulness; Besides, there is still a junior brother in charge, how can you handle this matter! ”

Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, Yue Fei and others also felt that Lu Junyi's words made sense, and they all looked at Zhao Gou, quietly waiting for his explanation.

"Senior brother deserves to be a senior brother, no wonder the master has been full of praise! Yes, I did have other arrangements for you to come. Since Lu Junyi had already guessed it, and everyone was watching, Zhao Gou no longer concealed it, and simply confessed, saying: "Although it is said that the Jin State and the Liao State are talking about the alliance of the Liao State, but the Jin State and the Liao State are both foreign enemies to the Great Song Dynasty, and they cannot be fully believed, even if the covenant is made, it is impossible to really bind it!" ”

Lu Junyi frowned and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother suspects that the Jin State has the heart to invade the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Not a doubt, it's a certainty! Zhao Gou said firmly.

Yue Fei asked, "Since you are sure, why do you do this, doesn't this fuel the arrogance of the Jin Kingdom and give them a better chance?" ”

Zhao Gou replied confidently: "Opportunities and dangers always coexist, and the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity." The purpose of this is that the Great Song Dynasty also needs it, and it depends on who is doing it. Now that everything is under my control, if Jin Guo wants to take advantage of the opportunity, he has to weigh it! ”
