Chapter 51: The Bohai Sea Comes

At the end of the war, the sun was blazing in the sky, but it had begun to move westward, and it seemed that it was not time. Zhuang Yi didn't realize that the front and back of his shirt were soaked with sweat, and there were even a lot of blood stains, and his clothes were sticking to his body, which was very uncomfortable. Occasionally, a cool breeze blows, and I feel tired and hungry.

Back on the battlefield, he chased the enemy with the bone slave and Bao En and did not come back, while the chief guard of the operation, Sherang, brought some men and was cleaning up the battlefield with the blue-clothed soldiers. Shuli was standing with Wu Kecheng and others to talk, and the two sides were talking happily.

Seeing Zhuang Yi coming back, Shuli hurriedly laughed and introduced: "Zhuang Langjun! This is a messenger sent from the Bohai Kingdom, the official is Honglu Temple, the noble surname is Wu, and the name is Liguo; This is a famous person in Hebei, your surname is Zhu, your name is Yongji, the word is Limin, and the alias Junshan Sanren! Presumably Zhuang Langjun should have heard of it, right? ”

"Oh...... It turned out to be a messenger from the Bohai Sea, and I was fortunate to meet it! This Mr. Zhu! The boy's surname is Zhuang Mingyi, the word is positive, although he is also from Youzhou, his family is poor since he was a child, his temperament is too rough, his virtue is thin and sparse, he has never heard of Mr. Daming, I'm sorry, it's rare to see him today, and then I will ask for advice or two in person. Zhuang Yi bowed to the two of them separately and said politely with a smile.

This person is a famous person in Hebei, but for some reason he came with the envoy of the Bohai State, and he seems to be in his forties, not like a person with an official body. It's just that there are a lot of people here, and Zhuang Yi doesn't want to ask too much, so he smiled and expressed his kindness.

"Huh...... Zhuang Dalang is a native of Youzhou, and he can be regarded as an old friend in another country, and you are welcome to visit at any time! Zhu Yongji bowed down and smiled politely, his attitude seemed amiable.

"Zhuang Langjun arrived in time to relieve the siege, thank you here!" Wu Liguo also bowed and saluted.

"Wu Kecheng is so polite! I brought back the head of the Khitan general, but I don't know what the identity is, how can you tell the difference? ”

"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! You just have to bring it ......," Zhu Yongji nodded appreciatively and smiled.

"Yo...... Zhuang Langjun is lucky! Shuri was surprised.

Zhuang Yi smiled and didn't answer, turned around and took the bag from the horse, but turned it upside down, and the human skull rolled on the ground.

During the operation, he stretched out his leg and stepped on it, looking at the gray face, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and he was envious and jealous, and laughed: "Hahaha...... This is the younger brother of the patriarch of the Tulu Bu tribe, named Lige Lige, who has repeatedly invaded our department, but I didn't expect him to be planted in your hands. ”

"Hey...... This kind of mediocre person is not worth mentioning, I killed it like killing a chicken, you just didn't meet it......" Zhuang Yi smiled proudly, but he still casually gave Shuli a step down.

"That's ...... In any case, Zhuang Langjun is the first person to take credit for this matter, otherwise...... If there is a mistake in Wukecheng, the consequences are unimaginable! Said with some trepidation.

"This is thanks to the timely arrival of the prince of Shuli, otherwise...... It doesn't hurt to be so-and-so, even if I am tied up by the Khitans, they don't dare to do anything to me, but the armor and materials to help you will be in vain, for this reason, the guards of a certain have killed nearly 300 people, and it is not good to explain to the king after going back! Wu Liguo said with a sad face.

"Please rest assured that Wu Kecheng will send someone to bring a heavy gift to visit your king and explain it one by one, and he will not blame you. It is not good to stay in this wilderness for a long time, and I ask your envoy to deal with the post-war affairs as soon as possible, and set off with me to the king's tent. Shuli said with a smile, but he bit the word "heavy gift" very hard.

Wu Liguo immediately understood, and his heart was happy, so he immediately nodded, said no more, and turned to inspect the progress of his guards cleaning up the battlefield.

Not long after, the two of Hegu Nu and Bao En also returned with troops, and the strength of the people was great, and the battlefield was quickly cleaned up. The spoils of war were also divided among all parties, the main thing was the war horse and armor, Zhuang Yi had no interest in the armor of the Khitans, but the war horse was still good, and he also got two hundred and fifty good horses, which was the most among the Quartet.

During the operation, he instructed people to dig a big pit and hastily bury the corpses of the Khitans. The bodies of the soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom were taken away by others, and it seemed that a funeral would be held afterwards as a solemnity, which also made the Bohai people have nothing to gossip about.

Everyone went back to the camp for lunch, rested for a while, and returned to the place and tribe at dusk, the patriarch and the aunt held a grand and solemn ceremony to welcome the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, and that night they set up a banquet to entertain them, and the next morning, they were accompanied by Shuli, Bao'en, Zhuang Yi and others, and went to the tent of King Xi.

Arriving at noon on the same day, the envoys of the Bohai State received them in a row according to their own operations, and Zhuang Yi returned with his own guards and returned to the camp to rest.

A complete panther skin is worth a thousand gold, as well as precious pheasant feathers, more than 100 yellow sheep and sika deer, and 150 good horses. These prey must be skinned and dried one by one before they can be sheathed and preserved; Animal meat also needs to be salted, otherwise it will spoil quickly; War horses are much simpler, you only need to send someone to take care of the grazing.

That afternoon, Zhuang Yi finished these chores early, personally barbecued five or six plates of deer breast and fat sheep, asked Mei Xiang to prepare a few vegetarian dishes, and prepared some sake to brought, and asked Bian Wu to invite Monk Yangguang and Zhang Yitai to come to dinner together. Suddenly, I remembered the Bohai envoy Wu Liguo and the Hebei celebrity Zhu Yongji, so I decided to personally go to the door and invite them.

Zhuang Yi found a Xi guard to lead the way, and then found the camp where the Bohai envoy stayed, and it turned out that it was not far from the camp in the southeast of the entire camp. Zhuang Yi asked the Xi soldiers to report, and after a while, a person came out to greet him, it was the Bohai naval officer who had fought with him.

"Haha...... It was Zhuang Langjun who came to visit, and he was far away! In the battle that day, a certain pair of Zhuang Langjun's martial arts were very admired! A certain name is Gao Leming, the official is engaged in the military envoy of Liucheng, Zhuang Langjun! Come in! Gao Leming bowed very enthusiastically.

When Zhuang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, it's not that the enemies don't get together! This Gao Leming turned out to be the general of Yingzhou, and it seems that he will have to deal with it in the future, but he can't communicate too much. smiled and saluted: "I came to find Mr. Limin, but I won't go in, I don't know if he is there?" ”

"Oh...... Mr. Zhu went to see King Xi and just came back, I'll go and pass a message to you, I don't know if he wants to go or not! Gao Leming saw that Zhuang Yi had no intention of going in, and with some regret, he turned around and went in.

After a while, Zhu Yongji came out, and he was followed by a young man in a round-necked, narrow-sleeved green cloth linen robe, about ten years old, who was Zhu Yongji's disciple. When he saw Zhuang Yi bowing and saluting, he bowed slightly and returned the salute with a smile: "Zhuang Langjun! What are you looking for? ”

"The younger generation has prepared a little water and wine, and I want to ask Mr. Limin to talk about it in the past, so I can ask for some knowledge in person, I don't know if it's convenient? And Wu Kecheng, I don't know if it's there? ”
