Chapter 239: House Arrest
A team of cavalry was lying on the road, and the leader looked Song Wen and his party up and down...... "You are Song Wen?"
Song Wen arched his hand: "It's down."
"The second prince of the Great King's Mansion of the Southern Courtyard has something to look for you, come with us!"
"I don't know what? Little Hou ......"
"The little marquis has been grounded by the prince, don't make it difficult for us, follow us obediently!"
Song Wen smiled...... "Okay, just listen to it...... However, please take care of the ladies around me! ”
The centurion who led the team looked at the big-eyed girl next to him, and was about to say something, when he saw a Khitan knight beside him glancing at him coldly, and swallowed back the flirtatious words that came to his mouth...... "Just take care of your own woman!" ”
Song Wen smiled indifferently, turned around and signaled to the little girl and Mingyue plus the other two guards not to act rashly, and to follow him.
As for An Chun, he doesn't know where to go.
The deputy team of the hundred-man team was obviously the person of the little marquis Yelu Shange, and the team of the hundred-man team was faintly confronting Qi Gulu, and the remaining ordinary Khitan cavalry could not see the tendency, and most of them were just silently carrying out military orders.
The hundred-man team carried Song Wen and his party straight to Xijin Mansion, and finally stopped outside a large mansion in the outer city.
Brother Yelu Shan's henchman frowned and asked, "Song Langjun is not a human prisoner, why did he escort him to the private residence of the eldest prince?"
The hundred-man Zheng Qi Guru opened his mouth and said: "This is the meaning of the great prince, there are many people in the barracks, and there is something wrong with it......"
The deputy team was turning the horse's head, and his expression was grim...... "We are the prince's personal guards, and the prince ordered to detain people, and they can only be handed over to the military camp for care without specifying other places!" This is the custom of the royal palace, how can it be easily changed?"
"You ......" Qi Guru narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Do you know that the Great Prince has just made war exploits, and he is a hot celebrity at Marshal Yelu Dashi!" Third Son...... Hmph, you are so ignorant of lifting, you will ...... in the future."
The deputy team is arching his hand and saying: "I only know that I am the prince's personal guard, and I only follow the prince's military orders!" If the prince has not commanded, it must be carried out according to the custom! ”
Qi Guru was choked and rolled his eyes, the centurion on the opposite side was not lower than him, and he only talked about the conventions of the palace, and he really couldn't force him to bow his head, otherwise this fool would make trouble in front of the prince, and it would be really difficult to explain the things that violated the conventions by obeying the private orders of the second prince of the great prince.
"Forget it, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for not giving you a chance! I will tell the prince about this as it is......"
Qi Guru scolded and turned around and left, and the deputy team waved his hand disapprovingly to signal the cavalry to continue escorting Song Wen and his party to the barracks.
Song Wen watched this scene with great interest, and it was difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs...... It seems that the three sons of the king of the Southern Courtyard are also goods that do not let him worry......
The little girl next to her said angrily: "What crime have we committed? It's shameless to send it around...... Why did that great prince detain us?"
Song Wen pursed his lips: "I didn't expect that with these gunpowder bullets, the prince would be able to win the battle, and it seems that the Jurchens' combat power is not so terrifying......"
The little girl asked in a low voice, "...... those gunpowder bullets?" Is it really that powerful?"
Song Wen shook his head: "Any weapon depends on the use of people, and it is useless to centrifuge up and down and give missiles to the chaogang!"
"What are missiles?"
"Roasted sweet potatoes!"
"What is a sweet potato?"
"There is a plant on the other side of the sea that is far, far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and if that thing is transplanted, many, many people will not have to go hungry."
"Really, let's go then!"
"Forget it, I'll talk about it later...... Wait until we build a big, big ship, and then we'll go back to the fleet. ”
"Well, bring Sister Green Slave with you......"
"The girl is so obedient!"
The barracks were very large, especially after Xijin Prefecture sent a lot of cavalry north to support Zhongjing, it was even more empty.
A corner of the rear camp was opened up, and three tents were vacated, and several Khitan soldiers stood outside to guard them, and Song Wen and the others were not allowed to leave.
The weapons were all confiscated until a centurion reached for the short knife that Song Wen wore on his waist...... Song Wen said with a smile: "This is a little commemoration of the third son of the little marquis and me, the little marquis is not here now, are you sure you want to take it?"
The centurion thought for a moment, then let go of his hand and turned away.
Originally, Song Wen wanted the little girl to live in a tent by herself, one for the two guards, and one for herself and Mingyue...... As a result, Mingyue fell asleep after eating heartlessly, and her snoring sound was almost like catching up with a wild boar coming out of the mountain, so angry that Song Wen had no choice but to get into the little girl's tent again.
It was getting late, and Yeluqi, the king of the Southern Courtyard, returned to the mansion, the war on the front line was unfavorable, and the Khitan nobles from all sides still had the intention of waiting and seeing, as the confidant of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, Yeluqi naturally had to set an example and vigorously support the imperial court.
Grain, grass, military horses, and equipment, plus the taxes of Xijin Prefecture for the next three years...... Although his desperate search has caused a generation of public resentment in Xijin Mansion to boil, what can Yeluqi do? If Emperor Liao can't hold on, his own lineage will also suffer.
Yeluqi had just taken a sip of tea, and the butler outside the door bent down into the door and brought a tray...... "Lord Wang, eat something!" ”
"Put it down......"
A bowl of rice, two vegetables and vegetables, plus a plate of sauce venison and a plate of salt-boiled beans. The diet of the prince of Da Liao is not rich.
Yeluqi picked up his chopsticks and picked up some food...... "Then the Song people have been detained in the barracks?" Did you make a fuss?"
"Back to the prince, no, that guy is very calm and calm, and he seems to be confident."
"Hmph, a businessman...... It's nothing more than wanting to live in strange goods and pinch me to wait, it seems that Shanyi is not mistaken, these businessmen are all untrustworthy and unrighteous people......"
"Lord Wang, it stands to reason that he should be making trouble and begging to see the third son...... But now that he is safely detained, it seems that he has something else to rely on...... In addition, the entourage guards around this person also have special weapons on their bodies! It's very different from the equipment of the Song people in the past......"
Yeluqi shook his head: "The southerners are weak, and there are no good things to use swords, guns, bows and arrows......"
"Lord Wang, the people in the barracks found that the saber of the guards was ingenious, and it was fundamentally different from the system of the Great Song Dynasty, do you want to take a look?"
The Khitan people established the country with martial arts, and the Khitan semantics of the country's name are iron! Although the nobles were degenerate, they didn't feel that it was a shame to dance with swords and swords, so Yeluqi looked up at the henchman butler ......, "Take it and take a look!" ”
Two sabers were placed in the tray and brought up.
Yeluqi chewed the venison in his mouth and slapped his palms, and was suddenly stunned...... "It's exactly the same...... It looks like it was built in the military, which is kind of interesting. ”
The two sabers are exactly the same, and the curved arc is well-made. Although the hand guards are simple, they are obviously very practical and protective! There is also an iron cone-like bump on the hilt, which protects the entire right hand.
Double-sided blood groove, the blade is covered with soil and burned, and you can also see the superimposed forging pattern...... Suddenly, Yeluqi found that there was a stainless steel buckle on the hilt, and after a little fiddling, he discovered the secret.
The handle of the handguard and the blade can be separated!
Swap blades and handles...... The two knives were still tightly fitted together, and Yeluqi frowned...... "Interchangeable?" So...... After the battle, if there is a standard knife, then you can quickly replace one! ”
The butler bowed down and said, "Lord Shengming, it's true...... It can be seen that this Song man still has a very powerful workshop in his hands, and the weapons of the guards under his command are actually better than the elite of my palace! ”
Yeluqi shook his head: "This Song man is really rich...... Hmph, and he's an ambitious person! You did a great job, and these things show that it makes sense that this kid has so much respect for him! This man is not an ordinary businessman......"
The housekeeper bowed down and said, "Lord Wang, do you want to ...... Summoning the third prince over and thinking about it again?"
Yeluqi put down the saber and picked up the chopsticks again, and said lightly: "After all, he is just a businessman, if he can't be used by me, it's not worth seeing, let's talk about it tomorrow...... There are some things that you just don't care! ”
The housekeeper's back tightened, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed...... "Lord Wang Shengming, the little one just wants the prince to spend less effort." ”
The old housekeeper knew that the prince was already a little dissatisfied with his vague support for the third son, and some words were taboo, but didn't he have to think about it for his descendants?
