Zhao Ta sat in the lobby of the Metropolitan Division, read the letter again, and then his eyes slowly lifted and fell on the two women.

The two women, one dressed in red and the other in white, were both very young and handsome.

Although his demeanor is not as low as that of the previous Yuan family, humble and respectful, he is also cautious and polite, and there are a lot of courtesies that should be done.

Zhao Ta put the letter in his hand on the table and said, "You two are from the Western Xia Palace?" ”

At this moment, Yuan Guo was not in the hall, and he was driven out by Zhao Ta in advance, and it was better not to let him hear some things.

The two girls glanced at each other, and said in white: "Little girl Qinghua, this is my junior sister Hongyu, although the two of us sent a message to the imperial concubine, they are not from the palace." ”

"It's not from the palace......," Zhao said, "Where did that come from?" Concubine Jing is a member of the Yuan family, you are from the Yuan family? ”

The second daughter shook her head, and Hongyu said: "It's not from the Yuan family, the general, it's inconvenient to reveal our origins, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”

Zhao Ta frowned and said: "Have you thought about it, I am now at war with Western Xia, but you came to deliver a letter to the dignitaries on behalf of Concubine Jing, I can completely detain and kill you!" ”

Qinghua said: "General, there is a famous saying in the Song country's soldiers, the two countries are at war, do not kill the envoys, in the past, when the Great Xia and the Song Kingdom went to war, they would also not kill the other party's envoys, not to mention that my sister and I just sent a letter to ask for ransom, and it was not involved in the war." ”

Zhao Tan sneered: "Although I heard that the names of the two of you are Chinese, but I am afraid that it is also a party item, the two countries exchange troops, and it is indeed true that they do not kill the envoys, but they are not used like this, you are not the envoys of Western Xia, but Concubine Jing sent you to do things in private, and it is not a sentence of the general to kill or not?" ”

Hongyu said: "General, the so-called division of benevolence and righteousness, the world can be invincible, the division of benevolence and righteousness never kills innocents indiscriminately, my sister and Song Guo have no grudges with the general, I believe that the general will not kill us." ”

Zhao Ta narrowed his eyes: "Who taught you this?" Benevolence and righteousness are just famous, uphold benevolence and justice to crusade against evil, if benevolence and righteousness are soft-hearted on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will be defeated long ago, and the people who tell you these words know nothing about this, and dare to come out to teach others? If you do this, you will be killed sooner or later. ”

"No, it's impossible, Miss Lin is also Han, and she reads poetry and books, and the bookshelves in her room are full of Sinology, how can she be wrong." Tsinghua bit her lip to defend herself.

"What Miss Lin? Is it the senior sister of the two of you? Zhao Ta shook his head: "I'm afraid it's just a good teacher, I don't know the height of the sky, the thickness of the girl's piece, one bottle is dissatisfied, and half a bottle is swaying." ”

Hongyu Qi Ai said: "Miss Lin is not a senior sister, but she is really knowledgeable, even if she is the imperial concubine, she admires her very much." ”

"Alright, alright!" Zhao Ta saw that the second daughter had an unconvinced look on her face, and waved her hand and said: "I believe I have seen it, it is not impossible for Concubine Jing to want to redeem her brother, but the price she offered is too low, and she will not agree." ”

"General, this price is not low, is it? Even if the royal family is captured, they will not take so much silver to ransom people! The two girls immediately frowned and said in unison.

Zhao Ta sneered: "Fifty thousand taels of silver just want someone?" It's too contemptuous of the general! ”

The two women stood in a daze when they heard this, 50,000 taels of silver, which is also a huge fortune in the Great Song Dynasty, and Emperor Daojun spent a lot of time for 200,000 taels, leaving his face and jumping and roaring, this 50,000 taels is already an astronomical amount in Western Xia.

Zhao Ta changed his words and said leisurely: "But Ben Jiang is also wondering, although Yuanguo and Concubine Jing are brother and sister, they are not the same mother, can Concubine Jing take such a lot of trouble to save him?" ”

Qinghua said: "The imperial concubine is not only saving her brother, but also saving her family. ”

"...... saving his family" Zhao Ta nodded, understanding what was going on, according to the crime that Yuan Guo committed at the moment, the Nine Clans must be enough, the punishment of Western Xia is severe, far better than that of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the royal family says kill each other.

Although the Yuan family has an extraordinary status and will not be ordered by Li Qianshun to destroy the full family, but Yuanguo's branch can't run, especially Yuanguo's immediate relatives, I am afraid they will be beheaded.

It's just that Concubine Jing is here, and there may be room for this matter to turn around, but the premise is to find Yuan Guo and let him defend himself about what happened, whether he was forced to do so, or was threatened, or taught him to simply beat him to death and deny it, so that he could get away with it.

Zhao Ta said: "You two go back and tell Yuanjing, 50,000 taels is too little, and there is no shortage of money to spend, if you want to redeem Yuanguo back, you have to show sincerity!" ”

"How much does the general want?" Hongyu said: "There must be a number, and I will wait until I can go back and report it." ”

Qinghua also said: "If the general is not a lion who opens his mouth, I can't say that the two of us can make a decision." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ta leaned back and said slowly: "You two can't be the master, you will not only ask for money, but also some side things." ”

"What more does the general want?" The two were puzzled.

Zhao Ta stretched out a palm, shook it and flipped it over: "One hundred thousand taels of silver can't be missing, and the other ...... This will also have the practice of the Aerial Acacia Arrow and the Volley Ecstasy Arrow, as well as the mountain and sea finger scriptures that cooperate with this martial art! ”

"What!" Hearing this, the two exclaimed together: "General, this is absolutely impossible!" ”

Zhao Ta said with a smile: "Can you ask and then say, if Concubine Jing is reluctant, then don't ask for Yuanguo, the elder brother, and find another way to exonerate the family." ”

"......" The two girls were stunned when they heard this, they didn't think that the other party would put forward such a condition, but where did the other party learn that Concubine Jing knew martial arts and mastered two archery skills?

"General, this matter can only be reported by waiting for us to go back and let the princess decide." Tsinghua Road.

Zhao Ta nodded: "Then go back and report to Yuan Jing and ask her if she is willing." ”

"General, I'll leave now, and I hope the general...... During this period, don't beat and abuse the brother of the imperial concubine. Ruby said cautiously.

Zhao Ta glanced at Hongyu and snorted coldly: "This is also what Yuan Jing confessed, right?" How could General Ben do such a thing, she still told everything at the same time, saving you two from spitting and spitting, Ben will be upset when he listens, and after explaining, he will hurry back to convey Ben General's conditions! ”

Hearing Zhao Tan's unkind tone, Qinghua said cautiously: "Imperial Princess...... I also confessed a matter, and wanted the two of us to ask the general to meet the princess's brother......"

"See Yuanguo?" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and touched his chin: "Since Ben will make a condition, it's not that I can't see it, but now I have no Yuan Guo here, only Liu Guo!" ”

"Liu Guo? What Liu Guo? Hongyu wondered.

"Hehe......" Zhao Ta smiled: "Yuan Guo dislikes the surname Yuan and is not like the Han people, and has changed his surname to Liu!" ”

"What?" The two girls were taken aback, and Qinghua said with a complicated expression: "I also ask the general to let me wait to see the princess's brother." ”

"Okay, let's see you then." Zhao Ta smiled slightly: "But you two don't talk nonsense, just look at it, if you talk too much, don't blame General Ben for not letting you go!" ”

"General, let's just take a look, never talk too much!" Tsinghua Road.

"Go and call Camp Commander Yuan, and say that I have something to ask." Zhao Ta glanced at him, and Bai Zhan immediately went out to find Yuanguo.

After a while, Yuan Guo trotted in, bent down and said, "The general summons the villain?" ”

Originally, he was calling Zhao Ta the prince these days, but just now Zhao Ta signaled to Bai Zhan, and Bai Zhan told him that there were outsiders here, so it was good to call him the general.

At this time, Yuan Guo secretly glanced to the side, only to see that it was two young and beautiful young ladies, and couldn't help but pout secretly, thinking that outsiders, it turned out to be two women, it must have been this evil king caught from the city to have fun, and he didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he called it so.

Zhao Qi nodded above, Yuan Guo wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and said, "General, the people outside the city are gone?" It's not really here to ransom the villain again, is it? ”

Zhao Ta said: "It's true that I'm here to ransom you again, but I'm not satisfied with the price offered, so I'll drive them away." ”

Yuan Guo "hehe" laughed dryly, and said in his heart, don't pay a big price, pay a big price, you black-hearted King Song can't guarantee that he won't sell me, once his family is sold back, then he will die and have no place to be buried.

"General, villain ......" Yuan Guo said flatteringly: "The villain has changed his surname to Liu, and the general will be called the villain Liu Guo in the future." ”

"Oh? Hahaha! Zhao Tan said with a smile: "This is what General Ben forgot, but he wants to call Battalion Commander Liu." ”

"The general has a lot of opportunities, the nobles forget, and the nobles forget." Yuan Guo hurriedly sycophant.

"That's right!" Zhao Ta squinted at Yuan Guo: "Camp Commander Liu, where did you get this beard?" I didn't have time to ask before I saw it, but I didn't remember it yesterday, so why did it grow so long overnight? ”

Yuan Guo was originally a standard little white-faced embryo, with a clean shave on the side of his chin and mouth, but now he has an extra beard, only on his lips, but a short mustache.

"General, this is glued by the villain, cut the black horsemane short, and then stick the gum to the skin one by one, it can always be kept for a few days, so that even if the Yuan family sees it, they may not be able to recognize it at a glance." Yuanguo is proud.

Zhao Ta nodded, his eyes turned to the second daughter of Tsinghua Hongyu, the two daughters stared at Yuan Guo with ugly expressions, if their eyes could kill, Yuan Guo was afraid that he had been killed by the second daughter at this moment.

"By the way, the general, the one who called the small one is ......" Yuan Guo looked at Bai Zhan next to him suspiciously, Bai Zhan just asked him about the prince, but after coming for a long time, Zhao Ta didn't ask anything.

Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "Calling Camp Commander Liu to ask you something is indeed something. ”

Yuan Guo said: "General, please speak." ”

Zhao Ta said slowly: "I heard that your sister is very beautiful, so she was accepted into the palace by Li Qianshun, but I have seen a lot of beautiful women in the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't believe in this kind of rumor. ”

Yuan Guo was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself, why did he still talk about this stubble? What does this black-hearted King Song want to do? Do you still have the idea of going to Xingqing Mansion to rob your sister?

He rolled his eyes, feeling that he couldn't tell the truth, Ming Jing'er was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but he wouldn't tell the black-hearted King Song, otherwise it would not be a good thing to really remember his own sister, this evil king was ruthless, vicious and insidious, in order to achieve his goal, he would do everything, and then it would be unfavorable to his sister-in-law, and he would really become a sinner in the family.

"General, my sister actually looks ordinary, and to put it mildly, she is just a vulgar fan, where can she look better than a fairy." Yuan Guo shook his head, happened to see the second girl next to him, and stretched out his hand to point: "These two girls don't have a posture yet!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Ta wondered: "It's not as good as the two of them?" ”

"Far inferior to ......" Yuan Guo said: "If there are many women, it will be difficult to find my sister if she throws her into it, and the general can imagine how ordinary she is." ”

"Is it really that ordinary?" Zhao Ta said: "Then why is Li Qianshun still included in the palace?" Could it be that the concubines in the Western Xia Palace are not as good as the people? ”

"General, it's not ......" Yuan Guo made it up while saying, but although the nonsense is easy to say, it is also divided into things, but at the moment this kind of thing is not very round, he had to bite the bullet and said: "The general doesn't know, Li Qianshun is timid, he is always afraid of assassin assassination, the villain's sister has martial arts, and my Yuan family is close to the royal family, so he was selected into the palace, although the villain's sister has an ordinary appearance, but she can protect Li Qianshun one or two, so she is favored." ”

"I see!" Zhao Ta nodded, and said: "Last time, you explained that Jing'er practiced archery, and she could shoot arrows without a bowstring, what is it called a volley in the air, I will think about it based on this, so she not only looks ordinary, but even if she is burly and strong, right?" Perennial practice of archery is afraid that the arm should have the thickness of a small tree, right? ”

"Huh?" Yuan Guo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The general is right, my sister's arms are like a tree, and her waist is as thick as a bucket!" ”

Zhao Ta laughed: "Actually, it's definitely not good to think about it like this?" ”

"Yes, yes, the grumpy man is as good as a drunk, and he gets on fire!"

"Surely the voice is unpleasant too?"

"Yes, yes, like a crow in an old tree outside."

"Can't understand the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops?"

"Cough, a man's wife, how can you understand these elegant things, except for dancing knives and guns on weekdays, even female celebrities can't!"

Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and patted the table: "In this way, even if you can protect Li Qianshun, I am afraid that Li Qianshun's favor is also pretended, who in the world does not love beautiful women, Li Qianshun will not be an exception!" ”

"It's definitely pretending, otherwise after being in the palace for a few years, why didn't even give birth to a son and a half daughter, it must be that Li Qianshun doesn't want to see her in private!"

"You!" At this time, the two girls next to them really couldn't listen to it, and Qinghua said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Yuan Guo glanced at Qinghua, and said in his heart that it is very important to care about you, this little Ma Kui, Ma Kui is the meaning of a woman in the Xixia language.

He was unhappy and wanted to sneer at him, but Zhao Ta waved his hand: "Camp Commander Liu, step back first, I'm a little tired." ”

Yuan Guo hurriedly saluted, then turned around and walked out the door, not forgetting to glare at Qinghua fiercely.

When Yuanguo went out, Zhao Ta looked at the second daughter with a smile and said: "Now that people have seen it, go back and report to Yuanjing, if you don't ransom his brother away, you will go back and continue to promote him, and then the news will spread to the Xixia court, whether it is the Yuan family or her Concubine Jing, I am afraid it will be difficult to be a person!" ”

The relationship between the two goddesses became more and more ugly, and Hongyu said: "Let's leave now, and ask the general to order me and my senior sister to go out of the city." ”

Zhao Tan nodded, and said to the two brothers of the Bai family next to him: "Send the two girls out, don't be lazy." ”

Watching the two girls go out and leave, Zhao Ta slowly stood up from behind the case, and he suddenly thought of something.

When Shigong Jintai told him about the secrets of the Zizai Gate, Wu Feiyun, who had said that the disciples of the four great descendants, was stimulated to leave the Tianshan Mountains.

And this Wu Feiyun, like Li Shuangmei Tianluzi, did not leave empty-handed, and also carried a lot of boxing martial arts, among which there is a martial art that is extremely powerful and fierce, called Poignant Archery.

I don't know if there is any relationship between this sad arrow method and the lovesick arrow in the air and the volley ecstasy arrow...... (End of chapter)
