Chapter 49: Anger and Jealousy
Chang'an City, Government Affairs Yuan.
"What a guy, you buried us like this?"
Hearing the news, Yang Chenglong was furious, couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and scolded when he opened his mouth.
Directly opposite, Xiao Jingmao was sitting precariously, just looking at the holy decree in his hand.
Yang Chenglong looked angry and shouted directly: "What are you still sitting here doing? Those guys kicked their noses in the face, and they almost told us directly that they wanted to swallow us." You say that these bastards have always been so sloppy against Mongolia, why did they become so active against us?"
Seriously, the first time he saw this decree, he felt like he had eaten a piece of, and he felt disgusted.
"No matter how much you insult you, do you think they will give up?" Xiao Jingmao shook his head and said, "It's better to save effort and think about how we should deal with it." ”
Yang Chenglong rolled his eyes and shouted, "How to deal with it?" They have already prepared gifts and directly packed that guy and sent it away. Do you think we might be able to say no?"
Although ministers often disobey the holy decree, in order to avoid Xiao Feng's direct refusal, Zhao Yun secretly resorted to means and directly ordered the person who delivered the decree and the pro-army to set off together, and the difference between the two was only one or two days.
In other words, at this time tomorrow, the so-called Zhao Mengfu will arrive in Chang'an.
Hearing this news, Yang Chenglong and Xiao Jingmao were also extremely nervous, so they felt extremely angry.
"Anyway, let's ask my lord's opinion first. After all, she is the protagonist in this matter. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jingmao finally calmed down his anger.
He expected that the Song Dynasty would deploy heavy troops in Xiangyang, but he didn't expect this group of guys to come directly to such a scene.
What a surprise!
Yang Chenglong pursed his lips and had no choice but to reply: "It's too!"
The two of them went together and walked towards the place where Xiao Feng was.
The sun is shining at the beginning and the morning is shining.
Xiao Feng had just woken up, and when he saw the two of them coming to visit, he asked the two of them to wait outside at the Yuehua Pavilion.
After she finished washing, she pushed open the door and walked to the Yuehua Pavilion.
Yang Chenglong saw that Xiao Feng was only wearing a coat, and his long hair was simply tied together, and he had not dressed up much, so he suddenly felt ashamed in his heart and apologized: "This time I came, it is really urgent, and I hope the lord will forgive me." ”
"It happened suddenly, and we don't want to disturb the lord's rest at this time! It's just that this matter can't be solved by us, so we can only trouble the lord!" Xiao Jingmao also looked annoyed.
Since he accepted the post of Prime Minister of the Government Council, Xiao Feng will not bother except for the afternoon when he will go to inquire about political affairs, so that Xiao Jingmao can have full opportunities for training.
As for Xiao Feng herself, she has focused on consolidating her cultivation, and her political affairs for more than ten years have consumed so much energy that her cultivation has not progressed so far.
For the next Northern Expedition, Xiao Feng naturally needed enough time to adjust his body and return himself to his previous state.
"No problem!"
Waving his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, Xiao Feng asked, "It's just that the two of you are here this time, what is the matter?"
Xiao Jingmao and Yang Chenglong glanced at each other, and they both felt a little speechless.
Sensing the atmosphere, Xiao Yue frowned and asked, "Xiao Jingmao, tell me what is it that makes you so nervous?"
Seeing the mention of himself, Xiao Jingmao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately complained in his heart: "It's not a secret! That Lin'an sent someone to convey the holy decree today, saying that he had chosen a husband for the lord, and he would arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, so that we could choose a day to get married!"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Jingmao looked hesitant, his eyes secretly peeked at the change in Xiao Feng's expression, and Yang Chenglong also clenched his hands in the distance, revealing a look of resentment.
Obviously, if the two of them had known about this earlier, they would definitely not let Lin'an's treacherous plan succeed.
However, the other party's personnel and gifts have arrived, and if they are directly blasted out, it is also very easy to provoke the emotions of the ministers of the Song Dynasty.
If they take this opportunity to incite the masses and take various actions against the Red Phoenix Army, it will be another troublesome matter.
After all, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and if there is a fire in the rear, it will directly lead to the failure of the Northern Expedition.
Seeing the two of them, Xiao Feng also shrank with a sad face, and complained, "What do you two think about this matter?"
"In my opinion, why don't you just drive the other party out?" Yang Chenglong opened his mouth and shouted.
Xiao Jingmao was embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Kick it out?" This matter is easy to say, but what if Lin'an uses this matter as an excuse to prohibit us from buying grain?"
"Then do you want the other party to marry the lord?" Yang Chenglong retorted.
Although he is already married, he always has different feelings for Xiao Feng in his heart, so he naturally refuses to be his father-in-law, so he easily marries someone else as his wife!
"Of course not. It's just that you also know that whether it's the Northern Expedition or the construction of a railway, you need a large number of people. Without the grain of the Song Dynasty, we would not have been able to accomplish this. ”
Xiao Jingmao also hesitated, although he tried his best to stop this matter, but when he thought of the current situation of the Red Phoenix Army, he was unwilling to make the Northern Expedition fail because of this matter.
The two of them looked at each other and sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect that Lin'an to be so despicable and do such an inferior act." ”
Both of them understood that in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition, it was too difficult to rely on the internal storage of the Chifeng Army alone, so the Chifeng Army purchased grain from Shuzhong and Jiangnan to meet the needs of the Guannai.
If this matter is stopped, then the Northern Expedition will naturally drag on, and I don't know what chance there will be.
Under the stalemate between the two, the atmosphere was stagnant for a while, revealing inexplicable pressure.
Xiao Feng sat on the side, quietly looking at the expressions of the two, and then said, "It seems that Lin'an finally can't help it and wants to attack us?"
"That's pretty much it. It seems that they also guessed our actions and concluded that we did not dare to act rashly, so they carried out this strategy!" Xiao Jingmao said helplessly.
Yang Chenglong also slapped the table and shouted: "These southern barbarians." Against all kinds of Mongolian procrastination, I didn't expect to play tricks in secret, but I was an expert. ”
"In this way, do you really want me to marry that person?" Xiao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pondered.
Xiao Jingmao and Yang Chenglong were both shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "Lord." You don't have the heart to marry that man. After all, what kind of temperament is that person, we can't see clearly, how can he be considered a good son-in-law?"
In the distance, there was a "clang" sound, which suddenly startled the three of them.
"Xiao Xing, why are you here?"
Xiao Feng's eyes condensed slightly, and he saw that Xiao Xing's eyes were gloomy, and his face was also pale.
Obviously, she listened to the previous conversation between the three of them.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this!
