Chapter Three: Gathering in Huangsha (Part II)
Seeing that he had no intention of making a move, Qima's people were also relieved. After www.biquge.info full of wine and food, I suddenly saw a figure at the door, and walked in a few big men, the first man, the instrument was lofty, and the tiger was vigorous, and he saw Luo Tianchu from a distance, and said with a smile: "Lord Luobao, do you still recognize it?" Luo Tianchu recognized him as Mrs. Yang of the Dongting Gang, and hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Yang, it's been a long time, please take a seat." Mrs. Yang was about to walk over, and saw Lin Lingsu in a blink of an eye, "Oh" and said with a smile: "It turns out that the national teacher is also here, Yang is too polite." Lin Lingsu smiled and said, "Brother Xian is too polite. Luo Tianchu was stunned, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Yang was also familiar with the people of Qi State, so he sat down and watched the changes.
Lin Lingsu took Mrs. Yang's hand and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, my brother has lost a lot of weight." Mrs. Yang said: "It's just a matter of hard work, don't bother the national teacher." Lin Lingsu turned to Liu Lin and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is Mrs. Yang, the military advisor of the Dongting Gang. Liu Lin also heard Yang Tai's name for a long time, and bowed slightly and said: "I have long admired the name of the **** teacher." Mrs. Yang was surprised: "It turns out that the crown prince is also there, and he is disrespectful." Liu Lin smiled and said: "No need to be polite, I heard that the pavilion went to Bianliang half a year ago, but unfortunately Xiao Wang was out on a safari at that time and could not meet, but the post of the military advisor has already been read by this king." Mrs. Yang said: "I see, today should make up for the loss of the day before yesterday, and pay tribute to His Royal Highness for a cup." As he spoke, he filled Liu Lin with a glass of wine and handed it over with both hands. Liu Lin took it all with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, good." Lin Lingsu introduced others to Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang said after seeing them one by one: "I am fortunate to have met all the heroes, so I will say goodbye for a while and come back later." ”
After that, he came to Luo Tianchu's table. After sitting down cross-legged, he said with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Xian for two years and has been reborn and become a hegemon, my brother is really happy for you, I should have gone to Chang'an to visit Brother Xian, but there are too many trivial things, I can't get out, and I hope don't blame me." ”
Although Luo Tianchu is still smiling, his smile has lost the sincerity he had when he first met, and he was full of accident sophistication, which is a smile that only outsiders have. Mrs. Yang blinked and said, "Master Yang, how can Brother Xian speak outside the world." Luo Tianchu smiled: "Where, where." Yang Taidao: "Is it that the foolish brother greeted the people at those tables first, and snubbed the virtuous brother, so that the virtuous brother was unhappy?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "The friends made by Yang Junshi dare to provoke the next one. Mrs. Yang was so lively, she immediately figured out the reason, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Brother Fei Xian has Liangzi with them?" Luo Tianchu suddenly suppressed his smile, put down the teacup and said, "Not bad." ”
Mrs. Yang nodded and said, "I see, how did they offend the virtuous brother? Luo Tianchu glanced at him and sighed: "I understand Brother Yang's kindness, but if Liang Zi between me and them doesn't kill a few people, he can't solve it." Mrs. Yang frowned and said, "Is it so serious?" Luo Tianchu said: "Maybe it's more serious." Mrs. Yang nodded hesitantly and said, "That foolish brother can only ignore it, and the two will not help each other, I hope that Brother Xian will forgive me." Luo Tianchu said: "This is the best, Brother Yang is the sworn brother of the lord of Lingbao, and he is also the uncle of the lower one, and I don't want to spoil the harmony between us." Mrs. Yang said: "I understand, the foolish brother is tired along the way, so go and rest first." Luo Tianchu said, "Okay, Brother Yang, please." ”
Mrs. Yang took someone upstairs, and when she went upstairs, she passed by a young man dressed gorgeously, and when the person came downstairs, she saw him handsome and chic, with a face like a crown of jade, and went straight to Liu Shaoqing's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, don't come to be harmed." Liu Shaoqing looked up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Duan, your country actually sent you, please sit down and talk." It turned out that this young man was the third prince of Dali who was proficient in Yiyang Finger, Duan Changxiao, he also participated in the Yanjing Martial Arts Competition, although he lost to Li Xiuzhi in the first round, but his chic bearing and pure Yiyang Finger skills also left a deep impression on everyone. Although his martial arts are not up to the super-first-class level, no one dares to despise him, and no one dares to despise the prince of Dali no matter where he goes.
Duan Changxiao sat down and said: "The practice of Dali has always been for the prince to go to participate in the horse appreciation party, in order to increase his experience and make friends, but my imperial brother has just ascended the throne, and the prince is young, so I have to be replaced by my imperial uncle." Luo Tianchu said: "Last time, I didn't have a chance to meet Brother Duan in Yanjing, but this time I have to be close to him." Duan Changxiao said with a smile: "Each other, whether in the government or the opposition or in the market in the past two years, the person everyone talked about the most was Lord Luobao, and even our remote Yunnan also knew that there was a great young hero in Guanzhong." Your name even overtook Yue Shaobao. Luo Tianchu said: "Brother Duan has a good reputation, and he dares to compare with Yue Shaobao." ”
Duan Changxiao said with a smile: "The people love you because you are all undefeated heroes, and the opponent is still the tiger and wolf division of the Jin Kingdom, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Jin soldiers." Luo Tianchu remembered the defeat of the pincer, and said gloomily: "Yue Shaobao is a well-deserved commander who always wins, and I have not fought many battles, and I have suffered defeats, and I have lost to my brothers who died in battle," Duan Changxiao comforted him: "How can there be immortals in war, and there is no need to mind a small failure." The castle lord has the world in mind, and the future is unlimited. Luo Tianchu nodded with a wry smile, thinking that he only had ten years to live, where was the infinite future. Duan Changxiao continued: "Tomorrow is the day of the horse appreciation party, presumably today, except for Jin, the envoys of other countries will arrive." ”
Liu Shaoqing said: "Why is the Jin Kingdom exceptional?" Duan Changxiao smiled and said: "The Jin Kingdom has the most honorable status, and the distinguished guests will come later." It is estimated that it will only arrive one hour earlier than last time. Luo Tianchu sneered: "It's really bullish, it's bullish if you don't come." Duan Changxiao said with a smile: "That's not going to happen, Jin Guo won't be absent or late, because the City Lord of Chu doesn't have the habit of waiting for people." ”
At this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves in front of the post station, and a group of travelers walked in, led by a couple, and behind them were four majestic men in gorgeous clothes. Everyone's eyes were attracted to the woman, even Zhu Zhirui. The woman's appearance was so beautiful that one could barely forget her age, like forty, maybe thirty, maybe not even thirty. Her beauty has a mature charm unique to a woman, like a blooming flower, although she is no longer young, her skin is still frosty and snowy, although her figure is not as slender as Zhu Zhirui's tall and slender, but she is plump and well-proportioned, especially the pair of proud breasts on her chest, which is even more reverie. She has a pair of cute pear vortices on her face, and even if she is not looking at you when she smiles, you will feel as if she is smiling at you.
Men are self-inflicted animals, and some of the people present have begun to speculate, "Could it be that she has taken a fancy to me?" This woman was born a stunner, and everyone couldn't help but wonder about the man next to her, what kind of man could hold such a stunner? When everyone turned their eyes to look at the man, they couldn't help but be disappointed. It is really appropriate to use the word "ordinary" to describe him, he is about fifty years old, his appearance is not amazing, the beard on his face even looks a little obscene, and he dresses very casually, and he is not even as luxurious as those brocade men.
But when you look at him closely, you can see something different. He casually stood there with the air of a leader, his eyes were confident and wise, which was not to be underestimated, compared to those brocade-clothed men who were like stupid straw bales on the outside and stupid on the inside.
Lin Lingsu said with a smile: "It turned out that Prime Minister Qin Cheng arrived, and he was disrespectful and disrespectful." The man smiled, and suddenly his eyes swept away, and he stared at Luo Tianchu. At that moment, Luo Tianchu only felt his heart tremble, thinking about his sharp gaze. The man walked up to him and said, "Your Excellency, isn't it Luo Tianchu of the Blood Sword Castle?" Luo Tianchu had already guessed that he was Qin Hui, the left prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was also the culprit who proposed to slander Jiang Feiyan's entire family. When he glanced at Zhu Yu in the distance, he saw that there was a look of resentment in his eyes. Luo Tianchu knew that Qin Hui's wife Wang Minghua was Ni Hongyan's younger sister, who had been married for many years and maintained a virgin body, and her martial arts could never be ignored.
He smiled on the surface and said: "It is here, Your Excellency must be Prime Minister Qin, and you have admired it for a long time." Qin Hui said expressionlessly: "Don't dare to be." Although it is rare for the young man of Luobao to have a good will, it is good not to forget his duty. Luo Tianchu said: "Oh? Qin Hui said coldly: "The great thing in the world is not the king's land, and Guanzhong is also the boundary of my Great Song Dynasty." I don't know when the lord of Luobao plans to return it?" Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "This sentence is so great that the world is not the king's land, and the territory of Jin and Qi is also from the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know when they plan to return it?" Qin Hui said coldly: "One yard is one, does the Blood Knife Fort also want to rebel?" Luo Tianchu said: "Ask the prime minister, before I take Guanzhong, which country occupied Guanzhong?" Qin Hui said: "Jin country." Luo Tianchu said: "Ask the prime minister again, but the person from my Blood Sword Fort is a registered official of the imperial court?" Qin Hui said: "Of course not." Luo Tianchu said: "That's it, we don't take the imperial court, capture the territory of the Jin country, and help the Great Song Dynasty repel the Jin soldiers several times, is this also a rebellion?"
Qin Hui was slightly stunned, and sneered: "Lord Luobao is really sharp. Luo Tianchu smiled and said, "I just state the facts." Qin Hui said: "But don't forget, Lord Fort, you are also a Song person, and as a Song person, you should be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty." You Guanzhong have recently recruited troops and horses, accumulated grass and grain, but have not paid a tael of taxes and silver. There are also the treasures of Qianliao that you skillfully obtained, and you did not dedicate them to my Great Song Emperor, and then let you mess around, I am afraid that you will raise tigers and become the second Dongting. Luo Tianchu said: "If I don't owe allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid that the Jin soldiers will have already passed through Tongguan and crossed Sichuan and Shaanxi." Besides, the whole territory of Guanzhong is exempt from tax for one year, and the people do not pay taxes, so where can I have taxes to hand over to the imperial court? Moreover, if we don't take the imperial court's money, what obligation do we have to pay taxes to the Great Song Dynasty? As for the treasures of Qianliao, the treasures belonged to the Qianliao people, and did not belong to the Jin State or the Song State, and they were the military funds given to me by Prince Yelu to fight against the Jin, so how could I transfer them to others? The Prime Minister's request is inevitably difficult for the strongman. ”
Qin Hui sneered: "What a big breath, don't forget that it is Wu Jiedu's envoy who guards Sichuan and Shaanxi." Who else gave you the right to exempt Guanzhong from taxation? Aren't you already yourself a king by doing this? The wealth of the whole world is sacred, and you really care about your treasures, just to see if you have the heart. It is not easy for the official family to take back Guanzhong from the hands of the Jin State, and under the guarantee of Wu Jiedu's envoy, he acquiesced to you to run Guanzhong and serve the dynasty. However, if you don't know the sky, you are arrogant, you have no respect for the officials, and you have no gratitude at all, which is the precursor of rebellion. ”
Luo Tianchu was furious in his heart, and wanted to ridicule him, but his mind moved, and he thought that after the Jingkang Change, Qin Hui and his wife were supposed to escort the north with the imperial ministers, but they killed the guards on the way and escaped. Zhao Gou was very important to him, and the official restored him as the middle of the imperial history. Qin Hui knew the way of being an official, and knew how to figure out Zhao's thoughts, and was promoted to Prime Minister Zuo in just a few years. During his tenure, all his ideas were to grovel to the Jin State, cede land and sue for peace, and the righteous people scolded him as a traitor in Jin. Such speculation is not groundless, there are more than 2,000 important ministers of the imperial court who were taken captive by the Jin State, how can he be the only one who escapes back? And all the way south is safe and sound. What is even more suspicious is that the family members of the officials are all detained separately, how could the Wang family escape back with him? Although there are many suspicions, there is no evidence to prove that he is a traitor, not to mention that Zhao Gou trusts him so much that no one can do anything about him.
Luo Tianchu thought that if the rumors were true, and he was really a traitor in Jin, then what he wanted to see most was that he and the Song Dynasty turned against each other. Although Tongguan can block millions of soldiers of the Jin State, the Song Dynasty is a flat river. Is he deliberately provoking himself to say anything now, and then go back to add fuel and vinegar to Zhao Gou to provoke discord between the two families.
Luo Tianchu was shocked into a cold sweat, thinking that Guanzhong could only be undefeated by relying on the Great Song Dynasty on his back, and if he fought on all sides, he would die soon, and he would not be allowed to succeed in his conspiracy, so he said: "I have always admired the official family, and I dare not have the slightest disrespect, but I am just a martial artist in the next place, and the etiquette is vulgar." Thank you Prime Minister for the reminder. After returning to Guanzhong, I wrote a letter by myself, and sent someone to Lin'an as a heavy gift to thank the official family for their trust. As for the return of Guanzhong, it can also be discussed, but in the next place, I have to personally meet the Holy Qi. Qin Hui said: "You have this very good intention, and the prime minister can negotiate with you on behalf of the official family now." Luo Tianchu smiled and said: "Can the prime minister make decisions for the official family?" Qin Hui said: "What the prime minister said is a representative, and it will be concluded only after going back to the Holy Lord." Luo Tianchu said: "Then I'm sorry, I am only willing to talk to the official family about the affairs of Guanzhong, and ask the prime minister to convey my words to the saint." ”
Qin Hui was about to speak again, suddenly smelled the rich fragrance of flowers, looked back, only to see countless colorful petals floating in from outside the door, and then seven wide ribbons were spread on the ground, and a woman sang: "Princess Xixia Huanbi, the master of the Embroidered Water Palace has arrived."
