Chapter 121: Countermeasures
Wan'an Palace to the wilderness of Helin, dozens of horses galloped in the middle.
The Warat envoy led the four of Bao Yuanqian to turn back to Helin, and Bao Yuanqian rode his horse and galloped, but he was also preoccupied.
Although Fang Cai's Jiubai Banquet returned unharmed, he was not sure that Mahamu must have been convinced of the identities of the four.
Zhang Shanduan's faces were also a little unpleasant, after all, they wanted to make a quick decision and quickly deliver the jade seal to bring back to Suzhou, but Mahamu used the reason for the Kurultai Conference to let them be bound to this and Lin Fang's inch.
After all, there are many dreams at night, and Zhang Shanduan and a few people are also afraid that they will stay for a long time, if they accidentally leak the news, or if the Ming court sends an envoy, they will not only not get the jade seal, but will incur the disaster of killing.
It's just that because there are people from Mahamu all around, the four of them are silent when they leave Wan'an Palace, and everything is hidden in their hearts.
Bao Yuanqian confidently recalled the hidden undercurrent under the staggering of talents, and said in his heart that this Jiubai banquet was not for nothing, at least he knew some contradictions within Qiuluo.
When he leaves Wan'an Palace, he asks the maid Fluttershy who the Mongolian man who entered with a knife on his shoulder, and Fluttershy tells him that this person is the righteous son of Mahamusu, and he is deeply trusted.
He was a man of great courage and was called Dorji.
When Bao Yuanqian heard the news, he thought of the eyes of Tuohuan looking at Na Dorji, and he suddenly realized.
The righteous son and the son, one is favored by bravery, and the other is blamed... History is always such a coincidence, and it is the source of countless tragedies that it began.
The second is that Shi Wanjun, the marquis of the Han Dynasty, seemed to be unintentional, but it also aroused his own suspicions.
Combined with Ma Hamu's expression, he seemed to be extremely disgusted by Shi Wanjun's words, of course, Shi Wanjun was by no means "unintentional", but intentional.
These Han princes were nominally favored by the Great Yuan court, and they were naturally attached to the Northern Yuan court at first.
However, since the rise of Warat, stealing the central part of the forest, and holding the Great Khan like a puppet in the palm of his hand, although they have some power, it is difficult to compete with Mahamu, so they have to be named according to the imperial court, Shiyiwara.
And Warat is more conservative and primitive than the Tatar of the headquarters.,Extremely uninterested in sinicization.,So much so that there was never even a year name.。
It is conceivable that the interests of these Han princes have also been greatly hit, so it is no wonder that Shi Wanjun and Zhang Tianding sang and harmonized during the banquet.
Mo didn't want to use his identity as a "messenger".... It's interesting.
He remembers this and looks back at Fluttershy, the maid who is being escorted by the armor in the back, and suddenly realizes that Fluttershy's eyes have been staring at him all the time, and Fluttershy sees Bao Yuanqian turn to look at her, and her eyes flicker and look away.
Bao Yuanqian sighed in his heart, although this Xiaodie is a Yingtianren, her origin is still unknown. When others are under the roof, everything must be done with caution.
As the group rides into the city, the messenger puts Fluttershy down and leaves.
The four of them tied their horses and entered the embassy, but they saw Sarenya waiting in the garden with Bao Bu and a few others.
Sa Renya saw that Bao Yuanqian and the four of them were still carrying a delicate and weak woman behind them, so she stepped forward to ask.
Bao Yuanqian said a few words to her, and asked Sa Renya to take her into the room and settle her properly.
"My lord," Fluttershy called softly as she passed by Bao Yuanqian.
Lu Gangfeng and several people stepped forward to gather together, all asking about the results of this trip.
Zhang Shanduan saw that there were Ming troops all around, so he sighed lightly and spit out the truth: "This jade seal, I'm afraid it will have to be decisive..."
He said a few words, and everyone was a little discouraged, but they still persuaded them to do a lot of things.
Kou Shicheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid that there will be many dreams at night, if we don't solve this matter as soon as possible, if they have doubts and send someone to verify it, what should we do?" ”
Ying Hao pounded the jade table and said hatefully: "I thought that I would be able to exchange for the jade seal in just two or three days, but I didn't expect that this Mahamu had so much thought, and he invited us to attend. ”
Bao Yuanqian sat down and said: "Now all I am worried about is that my identity will be exposed, and now it is indeed imminent for envoys from all walks of life to come to Helin, but... We can turn to the wind. ”
"Crazy old man?" The crowd was skeptical.
"Yes, Senior Feng should have lived in Saibei for a long time, his power is entrenched in the grassland, and he is very clear about the news of people from all walks of life. Have you forgotten that when we were discussing last night, Senior Feng had already spread the news for us in Helin City? ”
Zhang Shanduan suddenly said, "Yes, although he seems to be only one person, in fact, even we don't know how he did it, plus the soldiers and horses of the Nazara Yi'er Department, I think he will not be weak." If there is news from the grassland about the imperial court, he will inevitably receive a tip in advance, and if we ask him for help, we can also preempt the action and not fall into a passive place. ”
"It's just that the wind senior seems to have left!" One of them slapped his thigh.
Everyone looked at each other and sighed, but Bao Yuanqian said: "Leave this matter to me, you can rest assured." But these days we can't waste it, we all say that the dripping water gushes up, let the wind seniors help us find out the news, and naturally we have to find the news for him. ”
He probably said something about Feng Saizhang's search for Zoroastrianism, and everyone understood what he meant.
Zhang Shanduan and several people knew that Feng Saizhang seemed to be quite close to Bao Yuanqian, and naturally the group was convinced of what he said.
And Bao Yuanqian said to Zhang Shanduan and a few people, naturally he couldn't tell his true plan, Zhang Shanduan was anxious... But he is not in a hurry, whether he waits for Kurultai to act again, or acts as soon as possible, he has to wait for Jiang Wei's reinforcements, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
Everyone agreed on countermeasures, Bao Yuanqian walked to Sarenya's room with a somewhat tired body, only to see the maids waiting outside, he waved his hand to rebuke the maids, and pushed the door straight in.
"You have a good ability, and you will bring back a lovely person after a feast." Seeing Bao Yuanqian entering, Sa Renya got up and quipped: "I put that woman in the side building, I have enough people here and don't need to add her." ”
Bao Yuanqian heard the sound of Saren Ya, and suddenly felt embarrassed, waved his hand and said: "Don't you know me, she is the person sent by Mahamu to serve me, I don't know the details, how dare I approach her at will." ”
"Oh..."Sarenya let out a meaningful sigh, pinched Bao Yuanqian's nose and said, "It means that you can get close to you when the bottom is clear?" ”
Bao Yuanqian slurped, and said helplessly: "Now is not the time to be angry, I came here to talk to you about business, I found out a lot of things at today's banquet, and... I'm afraid there was a slight change in the original plan. ”
Sarenya heard Bao Yuanqian say and pulled him into his seat. Bao Yuanqian told the banquet about the events and plates, and he didn't fall anywhere.
"The matter of the Han princes is indeed true to you, they seem to be separated from the rulers of Warat, quite ambitious, and... I can probably conclude that, as you say, there is no real seal in Mahamu's hands! Bao Yuanqian sighed lightly.
Sa Renya listened to Bao Yuanqian's relay, and was a little stunned, because it would take some time for the Kurultai conference to take some time, and if Jiang Wei brought troops in advance, he would be caught off guard.
She told Bao Yuanqian that night that although this jade seal was not on her, it could never be in the hands of Ugqi and Mahamu, because the end of the Northern Yuan chaos was because Kun Timur only made a fake jade seal and hid the real thing in the underground palace at the bottom of the Khan Palace.
This underground palace was built by Kun Timur, and only Sarenya knew of its existence except for him, and no one else knew that there was a mechanism in the Khan's palace that could enter it.
So that night, she and Bao Yuanqian planned, since Mahamu only had a fake seal, she simply calculated the fake seal and let Zhang Shanduan and his party bring it back, and Sarenya was exchanged into the Khan Palace, Bao Yuanqian took his own people to break away from Zhang Shanduan's team halfway and sneaked into Helin again, and used the old forces of Sarenya's father and brother, as well as the people of the old palace in the past, to enter the Khan Palace to explore the real thing.
Once it is taken, cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Kelie Department led by Jiang Wei to attack the east and west, so that Bao Yuanqian can come out with the seal.
But now the time is not short, and the implementation of this plan can only wait until the day of the Kurultai Conference, but Mahamu has no real seal in his hands, and it is impossible to offend the Ming Dynasty by giving himself the fake one, I really don't know how this Mahamu wants to end!
Saren Ya said: "Why don't you hand me over at a later date, and I will enter the Khan Palace and hand over the jade seal to you with my cronies from the old palace?" ”
Then he shook his head and said, "It's just... Those who enter and leave the Khan Palace for no reason will be searched, and they can only respond to your entry into the Khan Palace, and cannot leave with your belongings..."
Bao Yuanqian grabbed her and said: "It's okay, you don't have to take risks and don't rush these two days, after all, Lao Jiang hasn't returned yet, and it would be counterproductive to be in a hurry." I went to ask for help from Banfeng senior for two days to see what he could do. ”
