Chapter 3: The Hidden Hand
After the two entered the room, Jia Rudao was already full of resentment.
Seeing him walking around the hall, he still read in fragments: "This Chifeng Army is really bold, and he dares to directly ask for the title of king? It's just a people's girl, and she has never been taught by Confucius and Mencius, so she dares to use such a tone for us?"
Sitting on the bed, Li Tingzhi closed his eyes and recuperated, looking idle.
When Jia Rudao saw him like this, he remembered Li Tingzhi's many complaining words before, so he accused: "And you are too." Why do you repeatedly interject when I am communicating with the other party about the affairs of the country? Do you know that your behavior is slandering the demeanor of my heavenly court?"
"But to put it bluntly, it's also slander?"
Opening his eyes slightly, Li Tingzhi glanced at Jia Yidao with some surprise, and said sarcastically: "What's more, you are not unaware of the situation in our country's DPRK." I'm afraid that the bureaucrats are three points worse than what I say!"
Jia Rudao shook his head again and again, and said with displeasure: "These things, you just tell them in your heart." But is it necessary for you to say it directly to the other person's face?"
"Oh well. Then I'll shut up in the future!" Li Tingzhi snorted lightly, closed his eyes again, and didn't want to look at the guy in front of him at all.
Speaking of the Jia Rudao in front of him, his father was Jia She, who had guided Xiao Yue to the Daimyo Mansion in the past and ruined the strict plan. Speaking of these two people, it is a typical example of a tiger father and dog son in the true sense, his father entered the Central Plains in the north, united the Central Plains warlords to fight against the majestic ambition of the Mongols, and even instigated the Red Phoenix Army to fight against Mongolia and protect the Southern Dynasties for decades.
But this Jia Rudao was very stubborn because he was uneducated at a young age, and if it weren't for his father's grace and getting an official, he wouldn't be able to manage it anyway.
The reason why he was sent to the Chifeng Army today was also to take advantage of his own relationship with Jia She, so that the Chifeng Army could also be restrained, and would not use force against the people who came to make it, so as not to freeze the whole situation.
Jia Rudao was unwilling, and said: "If this is the case, then we may have to go back and ask the ministers of the DPRK and China how to deal with it?"
"Is it a king, but do you think those ministers of the dynasty will accept it?" asked Li Tingzhi interjecting from the side.
"I don't know!" Jia Rudao shook his head, regained his mind, and complained: "But you and I both know that if we want to be crowned king, we can't deal with it, only they can decide how to deal with it." At present, the purpose of our trip has failed, and there is not much to gain by staying here, so it is better to go back tomorrow!"
Li Tingzhi looked surprised and asked, "Go back so fast?"
"You don't look at the environment here, there are no restaurants, there are no singers, just some boring things. What do you have to gain by staying here? Why don't you go back soon? You must know that if you play, I am afraid that the black-headed general of our family will not live long. Pointing to the entire room, Jia Yidao was slightly disdainful.
The Red Phoenix Army has been based here for two or three years, and there are so many things that need to be solved in these two or three years, for food, clothing, housing and transportation, it can only be said that it is much simpler, at least compared to the fireworks and willows in the Song Dynasty, it is indeed a lot poorer.
"It's only been a day, and you're going to leave?" asked Li Tingzhi.
Jia Rudao replied with clear words: "Of course, there is nothing here, and the black-headed general is my right-hand man, so I can't make the slightest mistake." ”
"Alas, I don't know if your father will regret giving birth to you when he sees you like this?" Li Tingzhi shook his head slightly, and sneered in his heart: "What's more, that black-headed horse is just a cricket, when do you need to be so merciful?" and felt fainting in his brain, so he said: "Counting the days, it's almost evening now, and after making such a long carriage, it really needs to rest for a while." After pulling the quilt over and laying it out, he lay down on the bed.
Li Tingzhi is also a person who has experienced war, and his adaptation to the harsh environment is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and he fell asleep quickly.
On the other side, Jia Rudao turned around, for a while he disliked that the bed board under him was too hard, for a while he felt that the air was dirty, and for a while he felt that there were too many gnats.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Jia Rudao opened his eyes and saw the blood bag on his arm, he immediately exclaimed: "Why are there so many mosquitoes here? Look, are you still going to put people to sleep now?"
"It's just a few mosquitoes, are you so surprised?" Li Tingzhi retorted with a look of chagrin and anger.
Someone suddenly woke up in the early morning, and anyone would complain.
Jia Rudao ignored it, and while wearing a pair, he shouted in his mouth: "It seems that the only way to get out of here is to hurry up." Otherwise, I'd have to be eaten by mosquitoes here. Li Tingzhi couldn't sleep at the moment, so he had to get up from the bed, put on his clothes, and after washing, he pushed open the door, and immediately saw that Zheng Yuanlong was already waiting at the door.
"I thought I got up earlier, didn't you think you were actually earlier than me?" Li Tingzhi was slightly different, walked in front of Zheng Yuanlong, and looked at this strong man with some curiosity.
Zheng Yuanlong smiled innocently: "No way, it's all a habitual operation formed over the years, otherwise I'm afraid that my head will become a kick in the head of someone else." ”
"That's just as well. Li Tingzhi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "It's just that you came here this morning, do you have something to discuss?"
Zheng Yuanlong couldn't help but scratch his head a little shyly, and complained: "Yesterday, the lord suffered some resentment for no reason because he saw that I treated the two of them inappropriately. That's why he asked me to come over this morning and apologize to you. And if you can, I don't know if you can let me accompany you around and take a look at this new scenery of Chang'an?"
"Hmm. I'm afraid this won't work. ”
Li Tingzhi glanced sideways at Jia Yidao, who was still complaining, and replied with some bitterness: "I came here on the order of the Holy Lord, and the purpose was originally to conclude an alliance so that we could fight against the Mongol army. But now that the alliance is not yet complete, we still need to rush back to Lin'an and report what happened here to the official family. So I'm afraid I won't be able to play with Brother Zheng!"
When Zheng Yuanlong heard the news, he was also extremely surprised, and said, "So fast?
"Isn't it your lion who opened his mouth and intended to covet the throne of the prince as a woman? If such an act is known to the courtiers, I am afraid that they will laugh at us and others, thinking that we are just groveling, and this kind of thing has happened. Jia Rudao complained, obviously full of dissatisfaction with Zheng Yuanlong, thinking that if Zheng Yuanlong could retreat a little at that time, this kind of thing should not happen.
Zheng Yuanlong was even more dazed, and replied in confusion: "How can this be counted on my head?"
"Alas. ”
Li Tingzhi glared at Jia Yidao, and then replied apologetically: "He's angry when he gets up, you don't need to take it to heart." What's more, if I don't have your guidance this time, I'm afraid I don't know a lot of things. If I come here again one day, you won't have to excuse me. ”
Zheng Yuanlong immediately bowed his head and replied with a smile: "This is natural. Of course, when he skimmed Jia Nidao, he still had a look of disdain and was full of contempt for this person.
Jia Rudao didn't want to stay here longer, so he stepped past Zheng Yuanlong, came directly to his war horse, and then stepped on it in one step, and condescendingly instructed: "Since your lord has not accepted it, I don't know if the gifts we brought can be returned to us?"
Although Zheng Yuanlong was a little angry, he was reprimanded by the lord yesterday, so he had no choice but to restrain his temper and complain: "Of course, everything has not been touched at all, just waiting for you to take it back." As for where they are, let me take you there. As he spoke, he also walked to the front of the queue and led everyone towards the warehouse in the distance.
"If so, it's good over there. ”
Li Tingzhi sighed secretly, then led his horse and followed behind Zheng Yuanlong, so that among the entire staff, only Jia Yidao was sitting on the war horse. After confirming the gifts, the two of them had no choice but to order their attendants to carry these things back to the carriage, escorted out of Chang'an City under the escort of Zheng Yuanlong, and then ran in the direction of Lin'an with billowing smoke and dust.

Standing high at the head of the city, Xiao Yue was a little surprised and asked, "Lord, why are you fooling them like this?"
In his opinion, it is naturally better to be able to get the help of the Song Dynasty at this time, at least to ease the pressure of the Red Phoenix Army a little, but Xiao Yue didn't know that the Song Dynasty had come to Chang'an City, but it was all kinds of means of refusal to force these two people away?
"It's simple. Because the Song Dynasty was insincere. If the heart is not sincere, there will be obstacles in the future, how should we deal with it when the time comes?" Xiao Feng smiled, staring at the distant convoy with slightly squinted eyes, revealing a bit of mystery, and only after the other party completely disappeared did she turn her head and explain to Xiao Yue: "And you should also know." If we form an alliance with the Song Dynasty, then how should the Chifeng Army and the Song Army be dealt with at that time, have you considered this? They just want us to be the Yue family army of the Great Song Dynasty, if we wait until the future when the wings are full, who do you think will be Qin Hui at that time?"
Xiao Yue couldn't help but jump slightly between her eyebrows, and complained: "Twelve gold medals?"
Yue Fei's matter is well known, that is, in the Song Dynasty, there are also many righteous people who look forward to it, and its status after the death of Qin Hui, the emperors of all dynasties have been promoted, and now it is time to pursue Zhongwu and seal the king of Hubei.
However, even if there are all kinds of amends, Yue Fei's innocent and unjust murder at the beginning is also obvious, which makes the ministers of every dynasty feel uneasy.
"That's right!"
Xiao Feng complained: "They want me to be the king of Yue, and they want my Chifeng army to be the Yue family army and resist the Mongol army for their Zhao family? But you must know that if I accept this, then those men under my command will have to be restrained by the other side, and the territory I have conquered will not be accepted by the other side's officials. When the time comes, I will have no soldiers, no horses, and no money and food, so how can I deal with these guys? If I give in, then I will be in a dilemma, and it will be difficult to choose. ”
"So the lord made a request to be crowned king?" Xiao Yue understood a little.
Xiao Feng replied: "Of course, and with just a few magistrates, does the other party want me to become a member of the Song Dynasty like Li Quan back then?" Zheng Yuanlong immediately bowed his head and replied with a smile: "This is natural. Of course, when he skimmed Jia Nidao, he still had a look of disdain and was full of contempt for this person.
Jia Rudao didn't want to stay here longer, so he stepped past Zheng Yuanlong, came directly to his war horse, and then stepped on it in one step, and condescendingly instructed: "Since your lord has not accepted it, I don't know if the gifts we brought can be returned to us?"
