Chapter 258: Xu Shan asks for his life
When he saw the face of the woman taking a bath, Zhao Yan immediately felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, because he didn't expect that the woman taking a bath opposite was actually the wife of the impeachment of Libo, compared to other Jurchen women, this laziness is very in line with the aesthetics of the Han people, but Zhao Yan didn't want to be a boot brother and boot brother with Su Shi and Impeachment Libo.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan immediately quietly retreated, so as not to be lazy and misunderstand. However, Zhao Yan also knew that with the customs of the Jurchens, if he was lazy and showed himself, he might take the initiative to come forward and have a relationship with himself. However, just a few steps after Zhao Yan stepped back, he saw that the lazy man suddenly held water in both hands and flowed down from the top of his head, and at the same time leaned halfway, making the double balls on his chest look even taller, almost making Zhao Yan's mouth and nose spurt blood.
But in the end, Zhao Yan still resisted the temptation and turned his head, leaving here step by step, and when he returned to the place where he used to take a bath, he first secretly looked at Yelusi's side, and now she was still quietly washing clothes, which made Zhao Yan suddenly feel guilty, as if she was trying to cheat on her behind her wife's back.
"She's not my wife, how can she have such a strange feeling?" Zhao Yan said to himself with some self-deprecation, then shook his head and began to take a bath, talking about since he left the palace in a hot air balloon, he only washed it by the way when he fished last time, plus the weather was hot, and it was strange that there was no smell on his body.
After Zhao Yan washed it, Yelusi hadn't washed it yet, mainly because the cloth cut from the hot air balloon was too big, and it was not easy to wash, when Zhao Yan got dressed and came to Yelusi's back. I just saw her tucking her skirt into her belt, rolling up her trouser legs to reveal a pair of white calves, standing in the stream, washing the cloth very hard.
It may be that seeing the lazy bath just now was too tempting, so that when Zhao Yan saw Yelusi, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the other party's chest and buttocks, women have always been extremely sensitive to other people's eyes, and before Zhao Yan had any evil thoughts, Yelusi suddenly stood up straight and turned his head to look, but when it was Zhao Yan, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Why are you so slow." I'm waiting for you to do the laundry for me? ”
"Ahem~. It's a little dirty, so it took a while! Zhao Yan said with a little weakness, and at the same time, the little evil thought that had just emerged in his heart immediately shrank back in fright, and even thought of Cao Ying and Xue Ning at home when they were children. is even scolding himself in his heart!
Zhao Yan finished speaking. Immediately step forward to help. The two quickly washed the cloth and returned to their place together, and it was almost noon. The bones are preparing lunch, and the people in the Wanyan Department only eat two meals a day, morning and evening, but Zhao Yan and they are very uncomfortable, so they have to cook a separate meal at noon every day, anyway, Zhou Dong and they have a lot of prey, so they don't have to worry about having nothing to eat.
However, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that just after the bones had just finished lunch, the impeachment bowl took his wife lazily to the tent where they lived, which made Zhao Yan suddenly feel weak for a while, and at the same time a little strange, because the impeachment bowl usually goes out to hunt early and will come back in the evening, why did he come back so early today?
"King Jun, tomorrow is the day when our tribe goes out to trade, do you think we should send someone out with us?" I saw that the impeachment bowl smiled and saluted Zhao Yan, although he was asking Zhao Yan's opinion in his words, but he actually wanted to express another meaning.
"Hehe, this is natural, it just so happened that Zhou Dong and they hit a lot of prey, and some furs are worth a few dollars, which can be taken out for some daily necessities." Zhao Yan immediately agreed when he heard this, he naturally knew that Impeachment Libo wanted to send someone out by himself, and then contact the people who were looking for him in the Great Song Dynasty, so that on the one hand, he could confirm his identity to the Impeachment Libo, and secondly, he could also pass on the news of his presence in the Wanyan Department to the Great Song Dynasty to facilitate the next step of contact.
"Haha, that's the best, speaking of which, the situation of our Wanyan Department is really bad, but it has wronged the county king, if we can form an alliance in the future, my Wanyan department will not forget the great kindness of the county king!" In fact, since Zhou Tong and the three found Zhao Yan, he no longer doubted Zhao Yan's identity, but the other people in the tribe were still stubborn about asking for evidence, so he wanted Zhao Yan to send someone to contact the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Next, Zhao Yan asked about the details of Wanyan's outing, and he didn't hide it, according to his account, Wanyanbu would only organize a trip every three months, load the furs and other goods harvested in the tribe on the car, and then transport them to the market specially set up for the Jurchens in Huanglong Mansion to trade.
It is worth mentioning that Wanyan has a mountain path called Haidong Qingying Road in his hands, referred to as Eagle Road, this road is not the mountain forest that Zhao Yan walked before, but a real path, although the road condition is very poor, but it can barely be opened to traffic, but it is much farther to Huanglongfu by taking this road.
In addition, other Jurchen tribes also need to go to Huanglongfu through Guò Eagle Road to trade, but every time they pass through Eagle Road, they have to pay a part of the goods to Wanyanbu, which is equivalent to taxes, maybe in Zhao Yan's opinion, the conditions of Wanyan are quite difficult, but for other Jurchen tribes, Wanyan is already a very wealthy tribe.
In addition to the transaction, the most important thing is to confirm Zhao Yan's identity, and at the same time secretly contact the people who are looking for Zhao Yan in the Great Song Dynasty, so the impeachment bowl naturally does not dare to slack off, not only personally leading the team, but also bringing several other brothers, leaving only the big banya impeacher to protect the camp, and at the same time monitoring Zhao Yan and them not to escape.
In the afternoon, Zhou Dong and Su Shi and others who went out hunting finally came back, and their harvest was good today, they actually hit an adult buck of a wild boar, and a few rabbits, which made the bones happy, trotted over to help Zhou Dong and them take the prey, and then fetched water and began to peel and clean, and after washing, they should immediately cut into pieces and throw them into a large pot to cook, otherwise they will soon be broken in this weather.
The cooking was handed over to the two women, Bone and Yelusi, and Zhao Yan called Su Shi and Zhou Tong to the tent, and then told him about the impeachment bowl going out to trade tomorrow, and finally said: "Now we need to send one to Huanglong Mansion with Wanyan, and then contact the people who are looking for us there, who do you think is more appropriate?" ”
"Let me go, the impeachment of Libo will definitely not let the king of the county leave the Wanyan Department, and the identity of Princess Zheng Guo cannot be revealed, and she is a woman, so only I, the deputy envoy, will be easier to attract the attention of those who are looking for us!" As soon as Zhao Yan's words fell, Su Shi immediately stood up and said.
Zhao Yan also agreed with Su Shi's initiative to ask for his life, but at this time, he saw that Xu Shan, the guard who had been silent, stood up and said: "King of the county, my subordinates think it is more appropriate for me to go!" ”
"Oh, why?" Zhao Yan said with some surprise, this Xu Shan used to be the person next to Huang Wude, and he was the lowest among the three Zhou Dong in terms of force, and his appearance was also very ordinary, plus he usually didn't like to talk, so even Zhao Yan often ignored this person, but he didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to speak at this time.
"King Qiyu, our hot air balloon was blown down to the east of Huanglong Mansion by the wind, but King Ying and Huang Gong don't know, so we can't be sure that Huanglong Mansion will have people they sent to look for, in addition, the situation in Liao is now turbulent, I'm afraid we won't be able to send many people to look for us, as for Huang Gong's manpower in Liao State, the manpower that can be used is extremely limited, so even if Deputy Su goes to Huanglong Mansion, I'm afraid he may not be able to meet people looking for us."
When he said this, he saw Xu Shan pause for a moment and then said: "In addition, although the disappearance of the county king is a big deal, but for the sake of the safety of the county king, I guess that King Ying and Huang Gong are likely to let the Liao State block the news, and then send people to find it secretly, after all, if the identity of the county king is leaked, it is likely to bring danger to the county king, so it is possible that the Liao officials on the side of the Huanglong Mansion do not know about the disappearance of the county king......"
Before Xu Shan finished speaking, Zhao Yan already understood what he meant, and nodded approvingly: "I understand, you are someone from Lao Huang's side, and you know the situation here in Liao very well, presumably there should be your people on the Huanglong Mansion side, if you are sent there, even if you can't meet someone looking for us, you can pass my news to Lao Huang through your people." ”
"The king of the county is wise, and that's exactly what his subordinates mean!" Xu Shan saluted Zhao Yan again, and then added, "In addition, it is not appropriate for too many people to know about the affairs of the county king in the Wanyan Department, and only our people can keep it as secret as possible." ”
Although Su Shi has not been an official for a long time, he has not been in contact with the people of the Imperial City Division when he was in the Weapons Prison, so he naturally knows what kind of institution the Imperial City Division is, and now he hears that Xu Shan is also from the Imperial City Division, which makes him surprised at the same time, he also nodded in agreement and said: "King of the County, Xu Shan is reasonable, he is indeed more suitable than me to go." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble Xu Shan this time for you to run, and when I see Lao Huang in the future, I will personally ask for credit for you!" Zhao Yan finally made a decision at this time, and at the same time did not forget to give Xu Shan a promise, which also made the other party show a happy expression.
Early the next morning, the impeachment bowl left Wanyan with the team that had been prepared yesterday, and Xu Shan also accompanied him with the prey he had caught in the past few days. It's just that what Zhao Yan and Xu Shan didn't know was that the lucky Thorn Shu was also rushing from Shangjing to the direction of Huanglong Mansion. (To be continued......)
