Chapter 196: The Envoy from the North (1)
The spring flowers are blooming, the peach red and willow green, the spring breeze of the Central Plains is warm, and the warmth is beaming. It was sunny and sunny for several days.
In the morning, Liu Xunyi, like a few days ago, sat in the back garden of King Xian's mansion, looking at the bright colors everywhere, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and lazily bathing in the spring sunshine.
Liu Xunyi's injuries have not healed, because his foot was pierced by Qin Tianjiu's knife, he is still limping when he walks today. For this reason, Xu Heng and others specially built a crutch for him to facilitate his movement.
On this trip to Shaolin, Liu Xunyi made great contributions. Therefore, after returning to Luoyang, Luo Tianjin gave him many rewards, one of which was: temporarily exempt from all errands, just cultivate himself in the mansion until he recovers.
For the hard-won leisure time, Liu Xunyi enjoys it on the surface, and looks leisurely and unconcerned. In fact, his heart has been up and down, and he is uneasy. A few days ago, he learned that Chifengling would send someone to Luoyang to visit Luo Tianjin. For the real intention of the Mongols, Liu Xunyi's heart is like a mirror, so he has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, and is secretly thinking about countermeasures.
"Looking for clothes. ”
Suddenly, Lin Fangda's hurried voice sounded from afar. In the past, at this hour, he would bring wine, drink and chat with Liu Xunyi, and accompany him to pass the leisure time. But today Lin Fangda had no wine in his hand, only a knife.
Hearing this, Tang Cong, who was on the side, hurriedly sent the crutches to Liu Xunyi, and with the support of Liao Chuan and Liao Hai, Liu Xunyi slowly stepped forward, although he was puzzled, but his face was still filled with a touch of joy, and said with a smile: "Big brother came earlier today than yesterday." ”
Lin Fangda stepped forward quickly, supported Liu Xunyi, and at the same time looked ashamed, and said with a wry smile: "Xunyi, I can't drink with you today, the lord of the mansion urgently summoned me to the middle hall to discuss matters." I've come to tell you about it, so you don't have to wait here all the time. ”
Liu Xunyi's heart sank, and he pretended to smile casually: "Oh! The life of the mansion master is important, so the eldest brother should go quickly! I don't know...... What's going on in the house?"
Lin Fang snorted and said disdainfully: "It's okay in the mansion, it's just that the people from Chifeng Ridge have arrived, and the mansion master has asked us all to welcome guests." I really don't understand, why the lord of the mansion is so polite to these tartars?"
"Why didn't I receive a summons?" Liu Xunyi didn't have the heart to share his hatred with Lin Fangda, and subconsciously asked.
"The lord of the house has an order first, and he will not arrange any errands for you until you recover from your injuries. Tang Cong explained, "So this incident didn't alarm you." ”
Liu Xunyi thought about it for a while, and said, "I'll go with my eldest brother." ”
"Xunyi, you still have a good rest here......"
"Big brother, have you forgotten Long Yu?" Liu Xunyi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "On my way back to Luoyang from Shaolin, this Long Yu actually assassinated me three times. If it weren't for the Seventh Master accompanying me all the way, I'm afraid I would have died in his hands a long time ago. Long Yu is a Mongolian man, and in my impression, it seems that he has never offended him, but it is really strange that he has repeatedly killed me. It's rare that the people from Chifengling are here today, so I just went to them to ask for an explanation. ”
Lin Fangda frowned, and said hesitantly: "The mansion master asked us to go to greet the guests, and it seems that he doesn't want to have a dispute with them...... If you go to Xingshi to ask for sin, will you ......?"
"Don't worry, the eldest brother has his own sense of proportion, and he won't mess around. ”
After that, without waiting for Lin Fangda to answer, Liu Xunyi had already taken the lead in walking towards the middle hall with a cane.
In the middle hall, Luo Tianjin, Ling Xiaoxiao, Luo Hongxuan, Xie Xuan, Deng Changchuan, and Murong Bai were seated in turn. Di Mo, Su Tang, and Luo Qi were all present. In addition, there are several door masters such as Ling Qing and Chen Yong sitting below.
At this moment, more than a dozen Mongols, led by Mogan and Battle, stood in the hall quite respectfully, with more than a dozen wooden boxes of all sizes placed in front of them, which were full of gold, silver, jewelry, agate and jade.
As soon as they entered the middle hall, Lin Fangda and Liu Xunyi quickly bowed to Luo Tianjin, and then tiptoed back to the side and sat down silently, without alarming the others.
"Lord Yanling's good intentions, Luo Mou understood it. Luo Tianjin looked at Cha Gan quietly, and said lightly, "But it's useless, I can't accept these things." ”
Cha Gan seemed to have expected Luo Tianjin's resignation, he unhurriedly ordered someone to close the box, and instead took a wooden box from Battle's hand, and said with a smile: "The lord of the Luo Mansion may not be interested in gold, silver and jewelry, but this gift, I think the lord of the Luo Mansion will definitely be interested." ”
With that, Chagan quickly lifted the wooden box, revealing two miserable human heads.
After a few days, the human head had begun to rot and wither, and the twisted and deformed carrion was covered in dried blood, and at the same time emitted a disgusting fishy smell.
Although they are rotten, Liu Xunyi can still recognize them at a glance, they are Liu Laohan and Meihua, who used to sing in the Donghai Teahouse, and they are also the culprits who harmed the Xianwang Mansion and the General's Mansion.
"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!" Ling Qing said with emotion, "I was ordered to hunt them down before, but I was meddled in by the 'Daoless Divine Monk' and obstructed them. The two escaped by chance, but they didn't expect them to escape the first day of junior high school, but they couldn't escape fifteen, and finally died tragically. ”
On the other hand, Luo Tianjin just swept it away with his afterglow, and there was still not the slightest joy or anger on his face.
Seeing this, Cha Gan put away the wooden box without hurry, and asked with a smile: "Isn't the Lord of Luo Mansion curious, why are their heads in my hands?"
Deng Changchuan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "What? Are you here to ask for a reward? We have issued a hunt and kill order in the rivers and lakes before, and we are willing to pay 1,000 taels of gold to buy their heads. Haha......"
Murong Bai smiled coldly and continued: "If that's the case, then don't treat others badly." ”
Regarding Deng Changchuan and Murong Bai's gags, Luo Tianjin neither stopped nor echoed them, but just stared at Cha Gan with a smile, as if waiting for him to explain everything.
Cha Gan wanted to take the opportunity to hang Luo Tianjin's appetite, but he didn't expect Luo Tianjin to have such a lukewarm attitude. Cha Gan's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he subconsciously coughed lightly, as if to relieve his embarrassment.
"Hey!"
Battle's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he suddenly became angry and asked: "We have come all the way from thousands of miles, do you welcome guests like this?" They all say that you Han people are well-read and reasonable, and when you see them today, you are just a waste of fame!"
"If we trespass on your country like a robber, trample on your cities and lands, and kill your brothers and sisters, how much gentlemanly demeanor will you have left?" Di Mo said coldly, "The Xianwang Mansion and Chifeng Ridge have always had no good water with river water, and although they have not had a bad relationship, they have no friendship. When you come suddenly, instead of being straightforward, you deliberately go around in circles, is this called Zhili?"
"You ......"
"Shut up!" Without waiting for Battle to refute, Cha Gan suddenly scolded in a deep voice, turned to Luo Tianjin, and said with a dry smile, "The junior is not sensible, and I hope that the Lord of the Luo Mansion will not remember the villain." ”
"No need to be polite. Luo Tianjin said softly, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Hehe......" Cha Gan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden box containing the human head, and explained, "I can't hide it, the reason why these two people are in my hands is because a few days ago, they secretly ran to Saibei and wanted to tell Marshal Wang. ”
"What kind of secret?" Xie Xuan asked knowingly.
"They want to tell Commander-in-Chief Wang the truth about the tragic death of Luoyang General Wang Xu's unification family!" Cha Gan's eyes were shiny and he said bluntly.
Hearing this, everyone present was secretly surprised, but no one showed any abnormality.
Ling Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "General Wang's matter, we have sent a secret letter to the Mongolian court, and explained the cause and effect in the letter......
"No, no, no!" Cha Gan shook his head secretively and said, "They want to tell the 'truth' of Commander-in-Chief Wang and the 'truth' written in the letter of Lord Luo...... It's not quite the same. ”
"What's the difference?" Luo Tianjin was not surprised, and his tone was as flat as water.
"They wanted to tell Commander-in-Chief Wang that Wang Xu's unification family was actually killed by someone sent by the lord of Luofu. The so-called 'civil rebel army' is just a trick deliberately performed by the lord of Luofu. As for Wang Qingshu, he was beheaded by Liu Xunyi of the Xianwang Mansion in Fengming Tower. Cha Gan smiled darkly. After that, he also subconsciously glanced at Liu Xunyi, who had a complicated face, and then changed his words, and said: "Of course we won't believe this kind of nonsense." But Marshal Wang is different, he has always regarded Wang Xutong as a brother and Wang Qingshu as a nephew, if he learns the news, whether it is true or not, Commander-in-Chief Wang will be furious. In this way, the person who came here to visit the Lord of Luofu today will no longer be old, but most likely the 100,000 iron horsemen of Commander-in-Chief Wang. ”
"Two charlatans, instigated by others, are untruthful, and have many nonsense. Luo Tianjin smiled lightly without changing his face, "I think even if Marshal Wang learns about this, he will definitely not be gullible, let alone be a puppet of people with ulterior motives." ”
At this moment, Hugh saw that Luo Tianjin was calm and light on the surface, but in fact, he had already set off turbulent waves in his heart. Chasing after the wind and shadows, there are still many troubles, not to mention that Wang Xu's unification family really died at his hands?
As the saying goes: there is no impermeable wall in the world. Although Luo Tianjin had expected that it would be a disaster to keep the 'Qin Demon Dancing Demon' sooner or later, he never expected that they would be so bold and reckless and dare to go to the north to report to the Mongols.
Cha Gan and Luo Tianjin looked at each other, and he wanted to see some clues from Luo Tianjin's eyes. But when I looked at it, I saw only calm and calm. It seems that Chagan's remarks just now have nothing to do with Luo Tianjin.
"What the Lord of Luofu said is extremely true, and we will not believe the nonsense of these two people. After a moment of silence, Cha Gan slowly spoke, "So we took them back to Chifeng Ridge and tortured them to finally find out who was behind them. ”
"Who?" Hearing this, a look of curiosity finally appeared on Luo Tianjin's face. At the same time, a cold light inadvertently flashed under his eyes.
"Jin Jianwu!" Cha Gandao, "It was Jin Jianwu who promised a lot of money and instructed them to go to the Commander-General's Mansion to denounce the Lord of Luofu. ”
Luo Tianjin's pupils suddenly froze, and an indescribable anger quietly dispersed.
"I don't know what Lord Yanling's plans are?" Xie Xuan asked cautiously.
Cha Gan patted the wooden box lightly with his hand, and said with a smile: "What the Ling Lord means, can't you still see it? The heads of the two thieves were cut off by me and presented in front of the Luo Mansion Lord, I think...... This is enough to show our sincerity, right? The Ling Lord said, whether this matter is true or not, we will do our best to settle it for the Luo Mansion Lord. Even if Commander-in-Chief Wang wants to avenge Wang Xutong in the future, the Ling Lord will definitely kneel in front of the Great Khan's tent and plead repeatedly for the Lord of Luofu. ”
Luo Tianjin's eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked Cha Gan up and down solemnly. After being silent for a long time, Fang slowly asked, "I have no dealings with Lord Yanling, he ...... Why help me?"
"You Han people have a saying, it's called 'come and don't be rude'. The reason why the Ling Lord wants to help the Lord of Luo Mansion is actually to make a friend of the Lord of Luo Mansion. And from now on, I hope that the lord of Luofu and the heroes of the Xianwang Mansion can be with me Chifengling and even the Great Mongolia...... With one heart and one mind, advance and retreat together!"
