Chapter 553: There is thunder among the clouds
The day before August 20, in the post house where the envoys of the Jin State stayed, someone from the palace finally came to inform Wan Yan Han, who had been waiting in the city for several days, to enter the palace for an audience, as well as the etiquette of the Wu Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Han Hu sent some more money, and the eunuch who announced the decree left without receiving it.
He looked at the holy decree of the Wu Dynasty in his hand, smiled, and threw it into the corner. Kutulu closed the door and leaned against the wall with a steel knife, sneering.
“...... That eunuch, if he had been slashed in the Jin Kingdom, then a piece of broken paper in the Wu Dynasty wants us to be respectful? Our Jurchen warriors only admire the heroes killed in the sea of blood, and the little doll of the Wu Dynasty should forget it. ”
He said sneeringly, and Han Hu, who was sipping the tea, closed the tea lid and chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "The imperial court also has rules, and the people of the Wu Dynasty naturally abide by their own, and we believe in swords, bows and crossbows." ”
Han suddenly got up and walked to the window to look out, the light spots cast in the gap under the shade of the trees, and the bustling crowd not far away was noisy in the street.
"Tomorrow, the court will meet the little emperor of the Wu Dynasty, fight the matter, and our business will be over, but what the person in charge of the Wu Dynasty looks like, we can see tomorrow......"
The spot of light shifted slightly, and it was reflected on his face, which was sinking day by day.
.........
The next day, in the cool morning, Wan Yan Han suddenly sorted out his appearance, and let Hu Tulu leave the post house in the same carriage with the Jin Guoguo book in his hand, and go to the majestic imperial city.
Even if the courtiers of the Wu Dynasty did not accept his gifts, but the two countries are connected, it is inevitable after all, and the military strength of the Jin State is also something that cannot be ignored by the Central Plains, and the meeting is inevitable.
It's just that what Wan Yan Han didn't expect was that after entering the imperial city, an old eunuch who met him said that the emperor accompanied the commander of Dongchang to the Wurui camp in the suburbs to review the army, and also ordered the golden envoy to come together.
Out of the Zichen Palace, walking on the road of the Imperial City Palace, Cao Zhenchun humbly introduced the buildings in the palace to the Jin envoy who was a little distracted, some origins, and Wan Yanhan, who was a little depressed, suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the other party's chatter, and his tone contained anger: "Even if the king of your country is a child, he should know that the handover between the two countries is not child's play, and the holy decree is the emperor's accent, and it should be followed to ......."
"Yes, yes... Our family knows, but there are too many holy decrees, I don't know which one your envoy said?"
"Huh?" Wan Yan Han suddenly swallowed the words behind him, and opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a moment.
Cao Zhenchun stretched out his hand and patted his old face, and said with a flattering smile: "When people are old, they are always easy to talk nonsense, your envoy should not be like a person who is only punished in the palace, let's go out of the palace quickly to find Your Majesty." ”
Looking at the other party's wrinkled old face, Wan Yan Han suddenly lost interest in reprimanding, and a cold snort sounded in his nose, "The big country is changing its orders day and day, which really makes this king feel..."
Over there, the old eunuch humbly led the way, and responded in a low voice: "Yes, yes... What the golden envoy said is reasonable..."
Soon after, the procession of the guard of honor left the imperial city with the carriage.
On the carriage with the flag of the Jin Kingdom, in the curtain, Hu Tulu lifted the curtain and looked at the car behind him with an uneasy heart, and then retracted and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, will the nine-thousand-year-old Wu Dynasty want to harm us, otherwise let me go to the military camp at this time." ”
The figure sitting on the cushion buried his head to check the treaty that was about to be submitted to the Wu Dynasty in his hand, heard his words, looked up, and lowered his head again, "That Bai Ning wants to kill us, he doesn't dare yet, this king is not comparable to others, killing this king is to start a war with my Jurchen again, he is just a eunuch, no matter how powerful he is, he can't control the verbal criticism of his own scholars." But it's just right, let's see what changes have happened to the army of the Wu Dynasty in the past few years, and we can tell the imperial brother when we go back. ”
"Your Highness, that has to be guarded against, and... We also have to find out the whereabouts of the second prince. Kutulu frowned, and when he saw that Han Hu had no interest in speaking, he stopped talking.
The wagon rolled and staggered, and the carriage stopped.
"Arrived?so soon?"
The fur hat of the mink tail was raised, and Han suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and there was a yamen outside, with white walls and a red gate, and it was obvious that they had not even left the city.
Subsequently, someone stood outside the car and reported: "Your Highness, the eunuch of the Wu Dynasty asked us to go into the East Factory to have a look." ”
Han Hu sneered, turned back to Kutulu and said: "I heard that this Dongchang is the most powerful yamen in the Wu Dynasty, and brought us here, do you want to get off the horse? ”
Putting down the page with jumping and walking out, Cao Zhenchun, who had been following, still welcomed him in with a humble and obedient attitude, and said as he walked: "This is what we ordered at the age of nine thousand, saying that the hour is still early, and the first time your envoy comes to the Wu Dynasty, he should come to Dongchang to sit and have a look." ”
Stepping through the gate, the view widens.
Rows of blue-clad scales and pointed hats sweated like rain on the blue-gray school field, these people were not strong, but every knife and every movement had a heavy momentum, and the head of the instructor with a stick was shouting loudly and correcting the action. Faintly, Wan Yanhan suddenly smelled the smell of blood in the air.
"Dongchang is really interesting. He turned his head and whispered to Kutulu, "..... must have killed a lot of people here." ”
The latter looked around warily, then nodded. The walking steps of the Jinyi guards and Fanzi who patrolled around made him feel goosebumps, especially the eyes of the other party, like a knife nailed over.
In the distance, there was also a line of sight from the small building on the other side of the school field, and Kutulu himself was not weak in martial arts, and he sensitively followed the direction to see that on the small building, a fat figure stood there looking at them.
"That's the father-in-law of Haida Fuhai, who is in charge of the operation of the East Factory, and he is about the same age as our family, but the golden envoy and this warrior should not underestimate him, he has deep internal strength, and he can easily shake the bones of a person's whole body with one palm. ”
Wan Yan Hanhu didn't care about these words, war is what dominates everything, no matter how high his personal martial arts are, he nodded disdainfully, said a few perfunctory words, and continued to follow Cao Zhenchun inside.
Looking behind a small building, several towering and huge silhouettes exuded bursts of hot air, Wan Yanhan suddenly looked at the blackened stoves, and felt a sense of oppression.
"I don't know what my father-in-law meant by taking us to see here?" Wan Yanhan frowned, the choking smell here made him very uncomfortable.
Stopped in front of an iron frame, Cao Zhenchun kept a smile, reached out and took an iron weapon from it, and when he turned around, several Jurchen guards next to him stepped forward vigilantly to block it.
Wan Yan Han suddenly opened his hand and waved them to retreat, and on the other side, Cao Zhenchun, who turned around, smiled undiminishedly, as if he was touching some treasure, rubbing on the weapon that looked like a spear and a sickle, and looked at Han Hu with a smile.
"Kim Envoy Ken has never seen anything like this. ”
Wan Yanhan suddenly saw that his smile was numb, and his heart was a little up, but he was still confused, and after saying a word that he didn't know, the other party unfolded the weapon, and his tone was quite strange.
“...... Listening to the craftsman who made this weapon, this thing can easily cut off the hooves of a cow, as easily as a song wheat, but I haven't tried it on a horse yet, so it must be not bad, so this is a treasure. ”
However, Cao Zhenchun did not explain, and continued to walk with them near the shelves used to display iron tools around several stoves, and introduced them to the Jin envoy team one by one.
"It's palm thunder... But it's not the same as before, I heard that it has been changed a few times, and the power has become a lot greater, Jin Envoy, if General Qin Mingqin used the current kind of improvement, he can't say that he can blow up your generalissimo on the spot. ”
"Bold—"
Kutulu was furious and wanted to draw his knife, but Wan Yanhan suddenly grabbed his wrist and pushed him back with an expressionless face, and continued to listen to the old eunuch.
“... This is a chain cone, now you can only see the cone, the chain behind it has not been put on, the golden envoy may think that this is used to shoot people or horses, right? At first, our family also thought so, but later I learned that this thing was when the cavalry charged, with a big crossbow ejected, nailed into the soil, the chain was connected, and then the cavalry also rushed over and tripped up, yo... When you think about that picture, it's really overwhelming..."
It's all for the cavalry... Wan Yan Han's head buzzed, but he still didn't understand why the Dongchang Admiral asked him to see these things, was it to add a little bargaining chip to the negotiations between the two countries?
Later, the old eunuch introduced a few more things... He didn't listen, his head kept spinning to think about what might be in the negotiating table in the future.
Human voices buzzed in my ears......
".....It's a catapult needle, a little trap that was thrown into a pile. ”
“...... This step armor, look at the spikes on it, and slam into the pile of people......."
.....
.....
Wan Yan Han didn't know how to leave Dongchang, he didn't mean to speak in the carriage, he thought about things silently, leaving the towering city gate, outside the car curtain, the autumn sky was drifting with white clouds, and the morning light had risen, stabbing his eyes brightly.
The surrounding mountains were undulating, and they were already far away from Bianliang, and soon after turning a forest at the foot of the mountain, the vision stretched out, and in front of them was a huge camp lying on the col.
A large banner with the word martial arts fluttering in the highest sky, and below it are countless banners guarding the arch. Wan Yan Han suddenly had a very bad premonition, as if something was going to happen, not just the intersection of the two countries.
Walking over, Cao Zhenchun had a flattering expression, but he grabbed Han Hu's wrist: "Golden envoy, please! Nine thousand years old is waiting for you-"
Boom -
Clear sky between the clouds, dry thunder falls.
