Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Pawn

The early morning of Liangcheng is quiet, when the first rays of morning light shine through the mist, Liangcheng ushered in a warm morning.

At this time, it is already autumn, the forest outside the city has no green, the withered yellow leaves with the cold wind of Xiao Xiao, have thrown themselves into the arms of Mother Earth, the mountains not far away are much thinner, the grass near is also withered, the branches are like naked puppets, mechanically twisting their bodies, at a glance, the eyes are full of withered yellow, very depressed.

In the east of the city, not far away, there is a large group of people and horses slowly driving towards Liangcheng, at this time, it is only a few moments away from the time when Liangcheng opens the city gate, and a bunch of people and horses are coming, and the soldiers who defend the city are on guard.

Because this group of men and horses does not look like an ordinary caravan, but a well-trained army all the time.

There were about 100 people, all of them wearing silver-white armor, and not only that, but everyone sat down on a war horse, which looked very majestic and majestic.

"Who's coming?"

One of the commanders of the city guards shouted at the men and horses under the city, this is a border city, and the appearance of such men and horses of unknown origin at the city gate can make them very nervous.

"Well, I am Jiang Boyo of the Pawn Agency, and I was ordered to come to meet the envoys of Qin and Chu, so I don't want to open the city gate soon!"

The man who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties at the front of the group, wearing a crystal top and a light crimson robe with a white bird tattooed on the robe and a wisp of beard on his chin.

However, the people of the city protector did not dare to underestimate each other, after all, there was a team of people.

After Jiang Boyo finished shouting, a hanging basket was put down on the head of the city, and then Jiang Boyo heard the general at the city gate shouting: "Trouble the lord put the token in the blue, I will naturally open the city gate after confirming the identity of the adult!"

Today's welcome envoy back, of course the people of this city protector know, but they didn't expect that these people would come during this time period, the time to open the city gate to fight Liangcheng is four o'clock, and now it is not too late, without confirming the identity of the other party, they dare not open the city gate at will.

Jiang Boyao heard the general's words, and didn't say anything, nodded to a cavalryman next to him, and then the cavalry came directly to the hanging basket, took out a token from his arms, and put it in the basket.

The hanging basket was stretched out, and in a few moments the general saw the token, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then shouted: "Open the gates!"

Then, the city gate opened, and the general respectfully came to Jiang Boyo's horse, raised the token high with both hands, and said respectfully: "See Lord Warden!"

Jiang Boyo's identity, he has confirmed, is indeed the pawn of the Pawn Bureau.

Inside the Great Zhou Dynasty, the system of three princes and nine secretaries was adopted, and this pawn, located in one of the nine kings, was an official who was specially responsible for entertaining envoys from other countries, and the pawn envoy was the official under the pawn office.

According to the words of Ye Bai's previous life, this Pawn Office is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Pawn Office is a diplomat!

"Well, get up, let me ask you, how many days has it been since this envoy of Qin and Chu arrived!"

Jiang Boyo opened his mouth and asked, in this era, this kind of time for receiving foreign guests will not be very accurate, because they can't count how long it will take on this journey, so they can only set the time in the first half of the month, the middle of the month or the second month of the month.

Although the time of the meeting will be checked every once in a while, it is impossible to be completely accurate, which is why the envoys of these two countries have arrived in Liangcheng, and their greeters have not yet arrived.

"My lord, this Qin State delegation has been in Liangcheng for nearly seven days, and this Chu State mission arrived about three days ago!"

The general immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Well, in this case, it's not too late, you can find someone to guide us in the way!"

Jiang Boyu nodded, although he was a little late, but it was still in the scheduled time, after all, there had not been any ten days and a half months or something.

"Yes!"

The general nodded, and then arranged for someone to lead the way for Jiang Bo to ask them, and completely got out of the way.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Jiang Boyo, this group of people went out of the city gate in a mighty way.

On the other side, the Ye family had just started to have breakfast at this time, but at this time, Ye Qingquan broke in again.

"My lord, just now there is news from the city guard, the officials of the Pawn Office have arrived, and the leader is a pawn envoy named Jiang Boyo, who has probably entered the city now!"

"Jiang Boyo!"

"Big brother!"

Ye Cang and Jiang Hanyu were taken aback, hasn't the identity of this Blood Shadow Gang already been clarified, why is it that this time the greeting envoy is still Jiang Boyo!

Before, they guessed that the person behind the Blood Shadow Gang was Jiang Boyo, but they didn't expect that this Blood Shadow Gang turned out to be the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect, so the previous speculation was not true.

But why is it still Jiang Boyo who greeted this time, could it be that this real opportunity is really Jiang Boyo's kindness.

Because he had guessed his eldest brother with sinister intentions before, this time Jiang Hanyu's face showed a rare expression of apprehension and looked at her husband.

At this time, Ye Cang also seemed to be a little flustered, although they had guessed wrong before, but what they said was not wrong, this Jiang Boyo is indeed the kind of person who can endure for a long time in order to retaliate.

And in order to run away from home, they separated Jiang Boyo and that woman before, and killed each other, so they were really scared of Jiang Boyo's arrival this time.

"Uncle, in that case, then I'll go see him first!"

Ye Bai looked up at his parents who were a little dazed and flustered, and couldn't help but shake his head, he couldn't say anything about this matter, after all, it was indeed his parents who broke up the other party, and now he has no face to see him, which is naturally very normal.

"Oh, the pawn envoy who came this time turned out to be Aunt Ye's eldest brother!"

Shi Li's eyes flashed on the side, looking at the panicked faces of the two, thoughtful.

"Brother Shi use slowly, I'll go see my uncle who I've never met!"

Ye Bai stood up and said to Shi Li, then glanced at Fu Bo on the side, and left Ye Mansion.

Shi Li, who was on the side, looked at the other party's eyes when he left, and couldn't help pinching the chopsticks in his hand, and then didn't say anything, and continued to eat.

On the street of Liangcheng, Jiang Boyue, under the leadership of a city guard, slowly walked towards the Drunken Immortal Tower.

On the way, Jiang Boyao had already inquired about the conflict between Qin and Chu in Liangcheng from the city guard, and knew that the envoy of the Chu State was in the City Lord's Mansion, so he planned to meet them first.

After all, the two countries are allies, and with the fact that something like that happened to the people of the Chu State in the Zuixian Tower, it is natural that they should go to meet the envoy of the Chu State first.
