Early in the morning of the second day, after a simple breakfast together, Mo He'er and Wang Bao led all the people of Huo Yunfei, carried some money, and left.

Lin Feng stood at the gate of the temple and watched the dust brought up by this group of horse bandits slowly dissipate, woke up and said goodbye to the Khitan guide soldier, turned around and patted Duan Rui, who had been wanting to speak, and said with a smile: "If I don't let you ask again, I'm afraid it will cheat, just ask!" ”

"Hehe, big brother, these people are bandits on the grassland, why do you want to release them and give them money?" Duan Rui asked anxiously.

Lin Feng looked at the brothers behind him, and knew that they were actually more worried about these money, meat, buns, and dogs, and explained with a smile:

"No matter how inconspicuous a person is, he can make an immeasurable difference! These people dare to go to the interior to rob envoys between countries, which shows that their courage and courage are different from ordinary people; If it weren't for us, they would have succeeded in such cautious and thoughtful actions, which shows that they are not all reckless, and this shows that this gang is not a simple gang! If they are used well, they will be a secret move for us to face the steppe cavalry in the future!

Don't they love money? Then we will give them money; If they believe in force, we will always strive to be superior to them. When we lead the world's heroes to sweep everything, they will definitely take the initiative to find us! ”

Confidence, that's confidence! The brothers heard Ganggang's confidence and ambition from Lin Feng's words, and they couldn't help but be infected, and they all became excited, it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could stump them!

"Get on the horse, target Beihan!" Lin Feng waved his hand and took the lead in walking down the hill.

One hundred and four men roared together, and one hundred and four horses neighed together, running diagonally to the southwest, and not far in front of them was Lingqiu, a small county on the border of the Northern Han Dynasty.

A group of people walked not far before they found smoke and dust in front of them, as if a large number of men and horses were coming. Lin Feng didn't dare to be careless, and ordered everyone to stop and prepare for battle.

Not long after, more than a dozen big horses took the lead in running to Lin Feng and them, and a middle-aged man who looked like a civil official shouted in the distance: "May I ask the front of General Tang Yunlu Lin Feng?" In the Han State Rite Department, Zheng Heng, Tongping Zhangshi, came to greet the driver. And Zheng Heng's side was the special soldier sent by Lin Feng to report the news to the Northern Han Dynasty in advance.

Lin Feng rode out of the queue and replied in a loud voice.

"I have heard of Lin Da's ** name for a long time, and it is really the dragon and phoenix among people, and the villain has seen Lin Daren!" That Zheng Heng immediately rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, while bowing his hand, he bent down and ran to Lin Feng in small steps, respectfully grasped Lin Feng's horse reins, and then pushed it to the ground, only then did he take out a Han Dynasty edict from his arms and hand it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng unfolded it and saw that it was a letter written by Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, who warmly praised Datang and Lin Feng, and said that he would sweep the steps in Taiyuan Mansion to meet Yunyun.

Lin Feng knew in his heart that the strength of this Northern Han was too weak, and the current Datang Ken took the initiative to contact them, which was naturally a very long-term and confidence-increasing thing for them, and he would naturally make all etiquette the highest.

Lin Feng arched his hand to Zheng Heng, pointed to the brothers sitting on the horse behind him, and said with a smile: "Xie Lu Xie Zheng came from afar to greet him!" Without further ado, let's keep going, shall we? ”

"Yes, yes, everything is up to Lord Lin!" Zheng Heng immediately ran back to his horse and shouted at the others to get out of the way and ask Lord Lin Feng to go first.

Lin Feng lightly clamped the horse's belly, beat the horse and passed through the Northern Han greeting procession, Zheng Heng accompanied him with a smile on his face, and wanted to invite Lin Feng to board a richly decorated carriage in the middle, but Lin Feng politely refused.

Perhaps because Zheng Hui had received Liu Chong's special secret order, all the way south, Lin Feng realized how fine this Lord Zheng's diligence could be: when he was in a hurry, Lin Feng's speed on horseback changed slightly, and Zheng Hui would catch up and ask the adults what they wanted? When he settled in the camp to eat, Lin Feng raised his chopsticks and hesitated for a moment, and Zheng Heng would immediately get up to change the dishes in front of him.

Zheng Heng's actions made Lin Feng cry and laugh, and he directly rejected him several times. Zheng Heng's mouth was always full of yes, but in a blink of an eye, he still did what he should do, so that Lin Feng stopped caring about him later, but resolutely put an end to Zheng Heng from approaching his own brothers to prevent him from being "corrupted".

However, what Lin Feng didn't know was that Zheng Heng, who had served hard work, only had three months left to live. According to the records of "Zizhi Tongjian", after Liu Chongjian Han Dynasty, he tried his best to get close to the Khitans, and constantly sent envoys to the Khitan to ask for alliance and asylum. Of course, the Liao State actually didn't look down on this little Northern Han, and while accepting the Northern Han's request for assistance, he kept testing Hou Zhou's attitude.

Just three months later, in April, the Khitan lord Liao Shizong sent someone to tell Liu Chong that the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei had sent a special envoy to visit the Khitan, promising that as long as the Liao State agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty would give the Khitan a huge sum of 100,000 yuan every year.

Of course, Liu Chong understood how things were done, so "Zheng Heng, the chief envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty, bribed Xie Qidan with a generous bribe, claiming that 'Emperor Ji sent a letter to Emperor Yu Shutian', please perform a book salute." The 56-year-old Liu Chong invited himself to become the nephew of the emperor who was a generation lower than the 33-year-old Yelu Ruan, which shows the degree of sincerity and panic!

After that, the official history recorded: "Zheng Heng, the servant of the Northern Han Dynasty Rite Department and Tongping Zhangshi, died in the Khitan." In fact, Zheng Heng died violently during this mission to the Khitan, and his stomach rotted when he died. The cause of death is very simple, drink to drink!

The Khitan people are good at wine, and Liao Shizong is even more famous for his good drinking. This Zheng Heng became a special envoy, and he had a banquet every day, and he naturally knew the Khitan customs, if he didn't drink, he wouldn't give face to the Khitan people, and the arrogant Khitan people could turn their faces and kill people on the spot, so they had to drive the ducks to the shelves and drink with their lives!

The night after the last night, Zheng Heng once again "sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman", and at the palace banquet, he went back drunk again, and died violently the next day! The other envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty had no choice but to "return to their lives" and return to the errand with the body of Lord Zheng who died in the line of duty. According to history, there was more than one foreign official who was killed by the Khitans through a banquet, but this Zheng Heng was the one who left a big name!

In the next three days, Lin Feng and his brothers really saw what it meant to be "highly valued" in the Northern Han Dynasty: from the small county of Lingqiu, to the counties of Daizhou and Xizhou, and then to the counties on the north side of Taiyuan Prefecture, no matter how big or small the place, every place they went, there were always people who reported in advance, so the officials and squires from all over the country would clean the streets in advance, and lead the people to line up out of the city to greet them, and they would inevitably arrange for Lin Feng to live in the best house and eat the best or most distinctive meals.

At night, every stop must be arranged to be accompanied by a stunning woman. Of course, Lin Feng always tried his best to refuse, especially the last "** service project", and even more sternly refused.

However, if Lin Feng refused at the first station, the reception staff at the next station would be even more panicked, and the woman he found was even more outstanding. Even later, some officials in the south specially sent a message to Lin Feng, and this time they were all from good families, so please smile and accept them.

Lin Feng couldn't smile bitterly, and he had to be angry at Zheng Heng and said: "Lin Mou went to Han for official business, if I arrange a woman again, I will turn my head and turn back!" ”

Zheng Heng was taken aback, and only then did he make sure that Lin Feng was indeed not pretending, and hurriedly ordered that no more such services should be arranged.

At noon on the 24th of the first lunar month, Lin Feng and his entourage finally finished the increasingly uncomfortable scenery trip and rushed to the city of Taiyuan Mansion.

Seeing the majestic Taiyuan City, Zheng Heng was full of excitement and introduced the origin and historical evolution of Taiyuan City to Lin Feng.

"Lord Lin, my Taiyuan Mansion is bordered by Xinzhou in the north, Yangquan in the east, Luliang in the west, and Jinzhong in the south. Since ancient times, it has been the place of dragon and dragon diving.

According to legend, Tang Yao and Dayu both built their capitals in Jinyang; At the time of Yin Shang, Taiyuan Mansion was the ancient Northern Tang Dynasty; After that, King Cheng of Zhou 'Tongye Feng Brother', Feng Shuyu in Tang, that is, the origin of Jin; after the three families were divided into Jin, Zhao State was set to be the capital in Jinyang; Liu Heng of the Western Han Dynasty became the emperor after 17 years of the reign of the Emperor of Jinyang, and was Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty; Liu Qi was born in Jinyang, and later became Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Cao Wei period, the Sima family of the Jin kings, who were enshrined in Taiyuan County, replaced Cao Wei and established political power with 'Jin' as the name of the country.

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang Guang was the king of Jin before he ascended the throne. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan stayed behind for the Duke of Tang and Taiyuan, raised troops in Jinyang to establish the Tang Dynasty, and took the ancient name of Taiyuan 'Tang' as the name of the country, so it was praised by Tang Taizong as 'the foundation of the royal industry, the foundation of the country'; Taiyuan Mansion became the northern capital since the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and became the northern capital again in the 12th year of Kaiyuan, and the first year of Tianbao was changed to Beijing.

Especially since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang, Jin, Han, and my Han Dynasty have either originated in Jinyang, or taken this as the national capital, which is enough to prove its prosperous history and status! ”

Lin Feng couldn't help but look at Zheng Hui with admiration, he didn't expect that this man who looked like a big man had a really good memory.

Seeing Lin Feng's vision, Zheng Heng became even more energetic, and continued: "Since ancient times, there have been many names of this Taiyuan Mansion, including Tao Tang, Northern Tang Dynasty, Jin, Jinyang, Taiyuan County, Daiguo, Bingzhou, Taiyuan Kingdom, Longshan, Beijing, Taiyuan Mansion and other names, which are worthy of the reputation of 'Dragon City'!" ”

After saying this, Zheng Heng's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said urgently: "Lord Lin, my Royal Highness Prince Liu Chengjun is here to pick up the driver, just ahead!" ”

Zheng Heng immediately jumped off the horse and ran forward with his clothes on his clothes.
