Chapter 271: Envoy [I]
Chapter 271 Envoy [I]
When I asked Ronnie Shen, there was really such a person. Shen Qizong is also ready to recommend Zhao Yu to be a scribe, although the scribe is not in the stream, but after a few years, he will be appreciated by Zhao Yu and released, and he will have to be an official! It's a shortcut.
is currently under Shen Qizong's account, and at that moment, Shen Qizong asked his subordinates to bring Ou Xifan to come.
Knowing that he was going to see Wei Wang Chitose, Ou Xifan couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement. When he entered the barracks, his face was flushed with excitement. As soon as he saw Zhao Yu, he was busy and excitedly said: "Student District Xifan, see Wang Ye Chitose!" It's a blessing to be able to meet King Wei Chitose! ”
"I heard that Er was a Jinshi in the Heavenly Saint Year, and he is really a talent!" Regarding Ou Xifan's adoring appearance, Zhao Yu reacted very calmly and said politely.
Frankly speaking, Zhao Yu just said that Ou Xifan is a talent, which is really polite!
Ou Xifan is a typical southerner, just one meter six and five! Because of the frequent sunbathing, his skin is slightly darkened, and his eyes are small but very smart, looking at his eyes, people can't help but think of the eyes of an animal like a mouse.
Probably because of his bad background, Ou Xifan's actions seem inferior and proud, and his contradictory temperament makes people feel uncomfortable. But I think that his actions are only for those who are superior to himself.
Although the first time they met, Ou Xifan's senses to Zhao Yu were not very good, but Zhao Yu still suppressed the irritability in his heart. Carefully asked: "Do you have words?" ”
"Yes, yes! Student word Shaobao! Ou Xifan replied respectfully, and looked at Zhao Yu with a blank look.
Zhao Yu knew what he meant. Homeopathic said: "Good word." This king is called Erzi! ”
"It's a student's honor!" Ou Xi Fan is very happy.
"One villain!" Li Shouzhong felt uncomfortable. Secretly cursed.
"This guy! Typical villains are ambitious, really. The official recommended him, this district Xifan committed something, will the official be implicated by him? Meng Zhizhou was a little worried about his future.
"Alas! After all, it came out of a small place! Shen Qizong also didn't feel very comfortable in his heart, but no matter how he said it, Ou Xifan was his subordinate.
Shen Qizong coughed and glanced at Ou Xifan.
Ou Xifan understood, and hurriedly restrained the joy on his face.
Zhao Yu also ignored the small actions of a few subordinates. asked: "Shaobao, do you know Luo Baolan?" ”
"Acquaintance, I've seen twice! Luo Baolan admired sinology, and begged his eldest son to be taught by his students, but the students had already seen the true face of this fang. The back of my head is rebellious, how can the students be willing to make trouble for my big song? I have already rejected it! Ou Xifan said with a righteous face, just with his skinny little mouse eyes, it makes people feel funny no matter how they look at it.
Zhao Yu said: "In this way, if you go to Xia Anhua Prefecture, you can see Luo Baolan?" ”
Ou Xifan pondered what Zhao Yu meant, and felt that this didn't seem to be about his relationship with Xia Anhua Prefecture. and to blame themselves. Although he felt so, Ou Xifan still said cautiously: "How can a student see such a big person? However, the students knew that many of Luo Baolan's servants were greedy for money. Spend some money, want to see Luo Baolan, it's okay to come. ”
Zhao Yu shook his head a little speechlessly, and said: "This king doesn't want to take advantage of your relationship with the Anhua barbarians, this king needs you to make an envoy to Anhua Prefecture, so do you understand what this king means?" ”
"Student!" When Ou Xifan heard this, he turned his face and called it quickly. "That Luo Baolan's eldest son has been taught by a student for a few days, so he can be regarded as half a master! And that's not all! ...... in Lower Anhua
Ou Xifan really didn't say anything, all the relationships between friends, relatives, and students were pulled out for him, and more than a dozen people were involved.
"Traitor!" Li Shouzhong was shocked in his heart, and said hatefully.
"Ruthless and unjust, what a barbarian! This official recommended him, I'm afraid it's wrong! Meng Zhizhou secretly regretted it in his heart.
Zhao Yu didn't have much feeling about this, in Zhao Yu's opinion, no one is selfless. If you want to be perfect in everything, then you can't do anything. Those who have the power may be authoritarian or greedy for money. He who is not authoritarian and not greedy for money is incapable.
Between the two, Zhao Yu will definitely choose the former. What people need is to move forward, not to choke on food.
Zhao Yu tested Ou Xifan's eloquence again, Ou Xifan's eloquence is not a foregone conclusion, but it is not bad. And to fool Luo Baonan, who doesn't have much knowledge, there is no problem in thinking about this level of eloquence.
already has a plan in his heart, and Zhao Yu does not hide his plan. "Shaobao, this time you want to be like this in Anhua Prefecture, can you be sure?"
Ou Xifan frowned slightly, and a pair of mouse eyes turned around. "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to do!"
Zhao Yu still doesn't know what Ou Xifan means? He said that it was not easy to do, not that it could not be done, but to put it bluntly, he just wanted benefits. Although it didn't feel good to be asked for benefits, Zhao Yu still said with a normal face: "If this matter is successful, this king Xu Er is a nine-rank Deng Shilang, if it is even better, even from the eighth-grade undertaker, this king will not be stingy!" Afterwards, if you think of Guangnan West Road, or return to Bianliang, this king can think of a dispatch for you that is in line with your official rank! ”
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, what is Ou Xifan participating in the township with a literati? It's not fame and fortune, now that Zhao Yu has given this promise, what else does Ou Xifan hesitate?
Ou Xifan straightened his waist at the moment and said categorically: "The student is willing to issue a military order!" I will definitely not disappoint the prince! ”
Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Very good, your determination, this king has already felt it!" However, this mission is too dangerous, so you can just take a few henchmen with you. Your uncle Ou Zhengci and the other brothers will stay in the camp. This king will not be mean to them! ”
Ou Xifan understands that this is to make himself comfortable and a few brothers as protons, but this is also the norm, after all, this matter is very important. After the deed is done. If you are less, you can accept the first state of Anhua Prefecture. In one fell swoop, it can remove all the fetters in Yizhou.
"The students are here. On behalf of my uncles and brothers, thank you for your grace! With the prince taking care of the students' families, the students have no worries about this trip! Ou Xifan said with a grateful face.
Zhao Yu smiled and nodded, "It's a private matter, so let's go on business!" What do you want from this mission? For example, money and silver, or even sue for the like, this king can give it! ”
Ou Xifan was not polite to this, and said, "Yes." The student just wanted to say. ”
Saying that, Ou Xifan asked for some money and confession documents, but there were not many, and the confession documents were all low-level martial arts. This made Zhao Yu pay a little more attention to Ou Xifan, and he didn't have many chips, which showed that Ou Xifan either had too much self-confidence, or he really had great ability.
…………
Lower Anhua Prefecture
Before you know it, it's October 1st.
In the mountains and forests outside Anhua Prefecture, the leaves are withering, and the yellow leaves are falling on the ground. Centaurs walk on it. Immediately it sank slightly, as if falling in the snow.
The one-horse team didn't go far. I saw Xia Anhua Prefecture. The leader raised his hat and raised a pair of mouse eyes, who else could it be if it wasn't Ou Xifan?
"This road is really hard, this thief is really strong, fortunately I don't have to continue to be cold!" Ou Zhiquan pulled the cloak on his body, and his voice became a little trembling because of the cold wind.
"What's cold? The most important thing is to see Luo Baonan, okay, don't complain, drive! Ou Xifan shouted, and the bantam horse under his crotch moved his four hooves and headed towards Anhua Prefecture.
Although Xia Anhua Prefecture is a state, this so-called state city is really not very good. Built between two mountains, the terrain is dangerous. It's just that this city wall is all wooden, first erected two rows of wooden walls, and then rammed earth inside, and smeared with a layer of river mud outside, which makes people feel as if they have returned to the primitive era.
Because of the defeat in the front, it took a lot of effort for Ou Xifan to enter the city. spent some money and silver, and happened to bump into a friend in the past to enter the city.
After politely declining the invitation of his friend, Ou Xifan went to the original state office, the current Yue Wang Palace, and went to fight horses.
Cousin Ou Zhiquan couldn't help but complain: "Brother, it's really bitter to be so dusty!" Why don't you find a place to rest? If nothing else, it's good to drink warm soup! I've been eating dry food for the past few days, and my beak has faded out of the bird! ”
Ou Xifan frowned and said, "As far as you have a lot of trouble, if you miss that adult's matter this time, do you want your father's head?" ”
Hearing this, Ou Zhiquan didn't dare to complain.
Before he arrived at the palace of the king of Yue, Ou Xifan was forced to stop by a group of brute soldiers with spears. The barbarians were very vigilant, and after several people forced Ou Xifan and his party with spears, they shouted: "Throw the weapon on the ground and dismount!" ”
Ou Zhiquan was angry and wanted to resist.
Ou Xifan waved his hand and said, "Listen to them!" ”
Ou Xifan and his party threw their weapons on the ground, slowly turned over and dismounted.
It was probably Ou Xifan's obedience that made the barbarians feel a little kind, and their tone was not as arrogant as before. "Who are you? How to get to the palace? ”
Ou Xifan said calmly: "I am Si'en Prefecture District Xifan, and I have come to Anhua Prefecture to visit Luo Bao, the envoy of Xuanwei Festival. Trouble a few people to report my name! ”
"That's what the dust is here for?" There was a hint of disbelief in the brute's voice.
Ou Xifan stretched out his hand and leaned into his arms, and several brute soldiers were very nervous and shouted, "What do you want to do?" Don't move! ”
A touch of contempt flashed in the depths of Ou Xifan's eyes, these barbarians had already frightened the Song army. Ou Xifan thought that it was one thing in his heart, but it was another thing on his face, showed a kind smile, and said softly: "I just wanted to take out the name card from my arms, and we all threw our weapons to the ground, what are you worried about?" ”
Several brute soldiers felt that Ou Xifan's words made sense, but after thinking about it, they still said cautiously: "Move slowly!" ”
Ou Xifan was a little speechless, but he still followed what the brute said and slowed down. What he took out was indeed a famous post, which made several brute soldiers feel a burst of heat on their faces.
"I'll take this post to find the Jiedu envoys, and you guys will watch them!" The leading brute shouted loudly, as if to hide his embarrassment.
Several barbarian soldiers shouted in unison, and immediately glared at Ou Xifan viciously and said, "You guys be honest, or you will know what a white knife in and a red knife out!" ”
As he spoke, he also waved the bamboo spear in his hand a few times threateningly.
But I don't know how ridiculous and empty-hearted my action is in the eyes of Ou Xifan and others.
Ou Xifan secretly said in his heart: "Hmph, if it weren't for the dangers of mountains and rivers, these barbarians would be just chickens and dogs, and they would dare to be the king and be the emperor!" It's really sitting in a well and watching the sky, I don't know how thick the sky is! ”
It didn't take long for the leader of the barbarians to return, and in addition to that, he led a group of brutes in bright armor.
"My name is Liao Ao, I am a soldier and horse envoy under the command of the marshal, I have seen Mr. District, and it was the marshal who asked me to greet Mr. The subordinate is not polite, I hope the gentleman will not be surprised! The leading man said angrily.
Although it is said to be an apology, I can't hear a hint of apology.
Ou Xifan was dissatisfied in his heart, but he knew that the most important thing in this line of work was not to punish these barbarians who blocked him, but to see Luo Baolan.
Ou Xi Fan Nai pressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and said with a hypocritical smile: "How come? I saw the soldiers of Anhua Prefecture today, and they were really elite! No wonder they were able to defeat the Song army twice, the students admired it closely, such warriors should not be beaten with sticks and whips for these little things! ”
Liao Ao listened to Ou Xifan's words, opened his bloody mouth and said, "What Mr. said is true!" Please! ”
"Good work general!" Ou Xifan was polite.
Ou Xifan's politeness is not so easy to bear, Liao Ao knew Ou Xifan's fame, and was praised by Ou Xifan, and couldn't help but leak a lot of useful news to Ou Xifan.
When he arrived at the Yue Palace, Ou Xifan already had some understanding.
It stands to reason that Luo Baolan should not live in the Yue Palace. However, at present, he is the general who holds the military power in Xia Anhua Prefecture, and he is in the name of protecting the safety of the young master. Luo Baonan lived in the palace of the Yue King, but he still knew some measure, and did not dare to live in the harem, but lived in the front hall.
Although this Anhua man is poor, I just have to say that this Yue Wang Palace is a magnificent atmosphere. It seems that Feng Changqi has put a lot of effort into himself.
Liao Ao waited for Ou Xifan outside a large hall and said, "The festival commander will ask Mr. Ou to be alone, and trouble the others to avoid it!" Let's go to the next room and rest, as for the food, the last general has already ordered! ”
Ou Xifan nodded, said a few words of comfort to Ou Zhiquan and the others, and followed Liao Ao into the main hall. As soon as I entered the main hall, I felt a hot breath coming to my face. This is not a charcoal stove, the heat felt by Ou Xifan is from the ground, which means that there is a ground fire in this hall, and I don't know how many charcoal fires to burn in a day?
"Poor and extravagant!" Ou Xifan didn't know whether it was really sarcasm or jealousy.
In the center of the main hall, there sat a short but sturdy man, who wore a sky-blue robe with flower and bird patterns. It's just that he wears it on this man, but he looks nondescript, and he really doesn't look like the emperor when he wears a dragon robe. (To be continued......)
