"Xianggong, in my opinion, there is still room for maneuver, we are envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and these thieves seem to be Han'er, if we show our identity, they may not dare to cause harm!"

Zhou Ping said in a deep voice.

"This—"

Han Xiaoxuan still didn't answer.

Zhou Ping, who saw his concerns clearly, stepped forward and whispered in a low voice: "You can go to the villain for this matter, you can wait here, if the villain can't come back, it's too late for you to beat the horse and escape!" ”

"That's all there is to it!"

Han Xiaoxuan nodded, then he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Ping's arm, and said in a deep voice: "If I can get out of trouble this time, I will treat you and Liangyu as my own sons and nephews, if there is any violation of the promise, I Han Xiaoxuan will not be allowed to enter the Han family ancestral hall after his death!" ”

"Thank you!"

Zhou Ping hurriedly thanked him: "It's just that the villain doesn't know etiquette, I'm afraid that the people over there won't believe it, I hope to borrow the official robe of the prime minister, and let Wen Cheng go with me!" ”

Now, as long as Han Xiaoxuan doesn't have to take risks by himself, I'm afraid that he will agree to any conditions, nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

A few minutes later, Zhou Ping and Wen Cheng each rode a horse towards the small hill where the thieves were, and when there were still more than a dozen steps away from the hillside, Zhou Ping jumped off the horse, arched his hand to the thieves who greeted him, and said, "Please tell your leader, there is a great Song angel here!" ”

Under the guidance of the thieves, Zhou Ping led Wen Cheng's mount and walked towards the hillside, he carefully observed the thieves around him, what kind of people are this, only a few of them have complete clothes, and most of them are wrapped in all kinds of cloth, leather or other things that are easy to obtain, and the bare skin is a kind of blue and purple under the sword-like wind of Yandi.

These poor people were scrambling to pluck their clothes and shoes from the corpses of the Liao army, and to see how they looked, they did not mind at all that the clothes and shoes were being ripped from the still hot corpses, and others were killing the wounded horses and cutting the corpses into pieces that were easier to take, apparently the thieves were using them as food, and the smell of blood and other adrenaline-stimulating smells filled the air.

When Zhou Ping led Wen Cheng's war horse past them, many people stopped what they were doing, and looked up in surprise to look at Wen Cheng who was wearing a black gauze hat, dark blue official robe, and a jade belt around his waist, as if he saw a fairy, Zhou Ping tried his best to keep himself calm, and suddenly an old man with gray hair fell to the ground, crying loudly while kowtowing to Wen Cheng on the horse, shouting: "I don't mean to see the prestige of the Han official again today, and there is no regret when the old man dies!" ”

"Uncle, please get up!"

Wen Cheng turned over and dismounted, helped the old man up with both hands, and swept his eyes over the thieves around him, everyone instinctively lowered their heads and bowed down, "It seems that I have made the right bet!" Didn't read the wrong person! ”

Zhou Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, he glanced at Wen Cheng on the horse out of the corner of his eye, and secretly thought that this old official's appearance was really good, with three short beards, fair skin, and a clear face, and put on the official robe, if he didn't know it in advance, he really thought that the other party was the person who was in charge of the residence in Zhongshu Province and the person who was in charge of the Son of Heaven Fu Festival.

"Where is the Great Song Angel?"

With a thick voice, a big black man walked quickly in the crowd, seeing that the blood on his clothes was still dry, and he didn't know whether it was his own or the Liao soldiers he killed, and saw that he was still seven or eight steps away from Zhou Ping and them, so he arched his hand and sang a fat song: "Zhang Guanyu of a certain family, meet the two angels!" ”

He didn't know how to distinguish the colors of Zhou Ping and Wen Cheng's clothes, so he simply acted as envoys together.

"Zhang Guanyu, what a big breath, the two enemies of Emotional Guan and Zhang are all together."

Zhou Ping couldn't help but think secretly when he heard this, but he also knew that in order to avoid implicating his family, thieves like this generally use nicknames instead of real names, as the saying goes, "There are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames"

Since this person dares to use this name, he must be brave.

Just now, I saw that he first deliberately showed weakness to lure the Liao cavalry to attack, and then made Ji General almost wipe out fifty cavalry, and he was not a brave man.

It's better not to be careless and show your flaws.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping stepped aside and arched his hand: "Leader Zhang, this is the angel of the Great Song Dynasty, Han Xianggong, and the villain is just the guard of the mission!" ”

Wen Cheng arched his hand to Zhang Guanyu and said: "This official is ordered by the Son of Heaven to send an envoy to the Liao State, can the strong man let him open a way and let the official complete the order of the Son of Heaven!" ”

That Guan Yu was obviously not suitable for this kind of crepe dialogue, he wiped his sweaty right hand on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "That's nature, that's nature, we are all Han'er, how can we offend the angels, little ones, quickly make way for the angels!" ”

The thieves hurriedly got out of the way, Wen and Erren were about to leave, not only touched that nerve, that Zhang Guan Yu suddenly stepped forward, knelt down in front of Wen Cheng, kowtowed like pounding garlic: "We are all Han'er, the Liao people have no way, and the Jin people in Liaodong have been defeated in successive battles, so they wantonly recruited military horses, grain, and strong men in Youyan. Xianggong is a man in heaven, and his wisdom is far better than ours, please show me a way to live! ”

Seeing this, Wen Cheng was silent, after all, he didn't expect this situation at all before he set off, if it didn't matter if he said a few words of praise, the next thing was not something that an old official of the Ministry of Rites could put his beak in.

Hundreds of eyes suddenly gathered on Wen Cheng's body, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Ahem! The villain wants to dare to say a word, and please agree! ”

Zhou Ping coughed twice and sang a fat song to Wen Cheng, who had long been hesitant in his stomach, nodded.

Zhou Ping turned around, first stretched out his hand to help Zhang Guanyu, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Leader Zhang, please get up, Han Xianggong is the court official of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao and Song Dynasty are brothers' states." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's voice became low: "If this kind of thing is on the scene, it will make my family very embarrassed!" ”

That Guan Yu seems to be rude, but in fact he is a very delicate person, otherwise he would not be able to stand out among the many civil uprisings that swirled and disappeared at that time, he immediately heard the meaning of Zhou Ping's words, and hurriedly smiled: "A certain family is very dull, please mention it to this official, he will be grateful in the future!" ”

"What did the leader say!"

Zhou Ping smiled: "The edict received by Han Xianggong is to go to the Liao State as an envoy, and he has no right to appease your ministry, but if the leader has long admired the weathering of my Heavenly Dynasty and wants to write to the Son of Heaven, he can transfer it on his behalf." ”

Zhou Ping immediately took a pen and paper from the car, and wrote the letter for him to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang Guanyu pulled out a knife and cut the index finger of his right hand, and pressed a bloody fingerprint at the end of the letter.

Zhou Ping put away the letter, and Zhang Guanyu led a few of his subordinates to personally send Zhou and Wen back to the convoy, and sent the convoy away with great gratitude.

"Xianggong, the villain has just acted arbitrarily, and he has even handed over with the bandits, and please punish him!"

After Zhou Ping finished talking about the matter, he handed over the document handed over by Guan Yu with both hands, and then bowed down to Han Xiao.

"Hurry up!"

Han Xiaoxuan casually took the document and put it aside, and said with a smile: "What is the crime, if it weren't for you and dealing with him, I wouldn't be able to get out of the big trouble, this document is only known to you and me, and when I return to the Great Song Dynasty and burn it, can Zhang Guan Yu still go to Tokyo to find you trouble?" ”

"Xianggong is really far-sighted, beyond our reach!"

Zhou Ping hurriedly complimented a few words, he thought that Han Xiaoxuan would keep the document in his hand as a promotion level, after all, now Song Lianjin attacked Liao in the upper echelons of the Northern Song Dynasty has occupied a considerable advantage, so if there is a contact channel for the righteous army in Liao, it is a very good level of promotion, but he didn't expect Han Xiaoxuan to burn it, which is completely unexpected by Zhou Ping.

He was about to find a reason to persuade, but Wen Cheng on the side said in a deep voice: "Han Zuoshi, according to what the lower officials can see, it is better to keep this document properly, if you send troops to conquer Liao, this Guan Yu is a rare dark chess!" ”

"Dark chess?"

Han Xiaoxuan asked.

"Yes, do you remember Dong Pang'er?"

"Dong Pang'er?"

Han Xiaoxuan had a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't it the Yandi hero who solved the submarine and appeased?" I heard that this person is in the clouds, Shen Xiong is wise, and the Liao army can't control it, what does this Guan Yu have to do with Dong Pang'er? ”

Wen Cheng smiled slightly: "I have traveled back and forth between the Liao and Song dynasties in the past few years, and I heard that among the thieves in Yandi, Dong Pang'er is wise, Zhang Guanyu is brave, and the rest are insignificant. Today, the prime minister effortlessly took the watch to the imperial court in his hand, how could he not keep it properly? ”

"Good, good, Gong Wen said it well!"

Han Xiaoxuan smiled when he heard this: "If this matter is successful, I will definitely show the Son of Heaven the merits of the two of you and reward them heavily." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

After the two finished talking about things, they got out of the car, Zhou Ping was about to get on the horse, but there was a sigh behind his ears, and when he looked back, he saw that Wen Cheng was staring at himself with a pair of eyes, and he couldn't help but look a little strange, and said with a smile: "Gong Wen, is there something wrong?" ”

"Zhou Chengxin!"

Wen Chengyong called Zhou Ping's official position: "I am fifty and three this year, I have been in the public for more than 30 years, and I know a lot of people, but to be honest, it is the first time I have seen a character like you." ”

"Gong Wen praised it, where can he afford it!"

Zhou Ping hurriedly said modestly, but was immediately interrupted by Wen Cheng: "Don't think that I really praise you, you are well-versed in power and wisdom, but unfortunately you have never studied, if you are in a peaceful year, you are just a rich man." But now—"

Speaking of this, Wen Cheng sighed and said, "It's not just a blessing or a curse!" ”

He sighed deeply, and without waiting for Zhou Ping to open his mouth to defend himself, he staggered towards his carriage, Zhou Ping looked at his Xiao Suo's back, and couldn't help but sigh, and said to himself: "Don't talk about you, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" ”
