Chapter 5 Big Events Caused by Small People
Duan Tiande was an ordinary military attache in Lin'an Mansion nine years ago, and on a snowy night, he received an order from his boss to accompany an important person from Shangguo to arrest thieves in the villages around Lin'an Mansion.
This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he must firmly seize this opportunity.
So in Niujia Village, Duan Tiande rushed into Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's house with a group of soldiers, arrested Guo Yang and the others in the name of catching the thief, and finally killed Guo Xiaotian, which was the Niujia Village tragedy.
The same people don't have the same fate.
In this incident, Wanyan Honglie took advantage of the chaos to rescue Bao Xiweak, and finally hugged the beauty, but Duan Tiande was chased and killed by Qiu Chuji, but fortunately, he took Guo Xiaotian's wife Li Ping as a hostage, and fled all the way to the north, during which he was captured by the Jin people, and finally separated from Li Ping in Mobei.
After wandering in Mobei for a while, Duan Tiande found an opportunity to return to Lin'an, because of his meritorious service in the Niujia Village incident, his official position was also raised to one level, and nine years passed in a hurry, Duan Tiande at this time was no longer the ordinary military attache who was arbitrarily instructed, he became the deputy envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty Mission.
A regular mission is generally composed of envoys, deputy envoys, officials, translators, scouts, royal envoys, and other personnel, and is roughly divided into three categories: the head of the mission, the entourage, and the service personnel.
In this mission, the envoy was in charge of contacting Wanyan Honglie, while Duan Tiande was in charge of security.
The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized civil affairs over military force, and it became a common practice for civilian officials to dominate military attachés, which may be the reason for the weak military strength in the late Song Dynasty.
Because he had a one-sided relationship with Wanyan Honglie, he also wanted to set up a friendship, but at this time, Wanyan Honglie was no longer the idle prince at the beginning, but became the minister of the Jin State on the ruling side, this kind of identity and rank gap made Duan Tiande dare not go to visit Wanyan Honglie lightly, not to mention that a deputy envoy of the mission would also cause criticism if he visited the prince of the Jin State in private.
Two days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the delegation of the Southern Song Dynasty came to Kaifeng City and lived in the post house.
After the envoy of the mission went to visit Yan Honglie, Duan Tiande had nothing to do, so he took a few of his subordinates to wander around Kaifeng City and enjoy the scenery of this imperial city of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Kaifeng City is a shame for most officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, but Duan Tiande does not have this feeling, he is full of interest to visit, Kaifeng City is no less prosperous than Lin'an, after two is the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets and alleys are full of peach branches, and every household exudes the fragrance of mugwort leaves.
The Dragon Boat Festival in this era is not only to commemorate Qu Yuan, but also to rid the plague and evil ghosts.
So on this day, every household will insert calamus, mugwort leaves to drive away ghosts, lavender atractylodes, angelica and drink realgar wine to avoid the epidemic, although the customs of the south and north of the Yangtze River are different, but the Dragon Boat Festival to eat zongzi is a common custom.
At this time, Mu Nianci made zongzi at home, and the whole courtyard was filled with the fragrance of lotus leaves and glutinous rice.
She is learning from the lady next door, the package is not too regular, barely able to see it, the lady will teach her hand in hand, the poor people in order to save is generally a few families to wrap zongzi together, so that lotus leaves and glutinous rice will not be wasted, everyone together to talk and laugh, it is a Dragon Boat Festival.
"Nianci, clean up, Daddy will take you to Beicheng. Yang Tiexin came back from outside and said to his daughter.
During the two festivals, there are a lot of merchants looking for Yang Tiexin to work, but today he came back early, just to take his daughter to Beicheng to shop and buy some things and food that girls like.
In the kind laughter of the neighbors, Mu Nianci changed into a new red dress, and as Yang Tiexin walked towards that prosperous world, although Mu Nianci has always been diligent in blessing the family, but the eight-year-old girl has already known how to dress herself, and she also likes those colorful clothes and good-looking accessories, and everyone has a yearning for beautiful things.
The South City and the North City are two worlds.
Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci walked on the wide street, smelling the fragrant fragrance of flowers in the air, looking at the dazzling array of goods, a little dazzled, but everything is so expensive, enough for their expenses for a month, Mu Nianci took this and looked at that, both a little reluctant and a little lost.
Just look at it, the girl reminded herself in her heart, it's still cheaper in the Seongnam Bazaar, it looks the same anyway, there is no difference.
When the father and daughter were shopping, the deputy envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty envoy group, Lord Duan Tiande, was drinking heavily in the restaurant, and his soldiers were constantly flattering the adult.
When Duan Tiande finished drinking a glass of wine and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the restaurant, he saw a person he didn't expect, this person coincided with the reckless man who brandished a spear and rushed around in his memory, although it was dark that night, he remembered it very clearly, because he almost died under the spear.
Yang Tiexin, he is still alive!
For a while, Duan Tiande's wine woke up for the most part, and he looked at the backs of the father and daughter in a daze, until Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci were about to disappear into the crowd, he didn't react, and he didn't care about his soldiers, hurriedly went downstairs and followed.
He felt that this might be another great achievement, he knew that Yang Tiexin's martial arts were strong, and he didn't dare to follow too closely, just watched from a distance, Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci only cared about shopping, and didn't notice that there was anyone following behind, so Duan Tiande followed from Beicheng to Nancheng until Yang Tiexin's residence.
The deputy envoy walked around and determined that this was Yang Tiexin's hiding place, but what should he do next? Does the sixth prince of the Jin Kingdom know that Yang Tiexin lives here?
Duan Tiande only knew that Wanyan Honglie had arrested Guo and Yang's family for Yang Tiexin's wife, Bao, and he didn't know that the Bao family, who had begged him to let her husband go, was now the princess of Zhao, and he felt that a prince would abandon him after playing with a folk woman, and he wasn't sure if the six princes of the Jin Kingdom still remembered the grass man named Yang Tiexin.
In the end, Duan Tiande decided to go to Zhao Wangfu and tell Wanyan Honglie about this matter, if he can satisfy this prince and say two good words for himself, then I am afraid that he will be promoted again after returning to Lin'an.
At this time, Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci returned to the small courtyard, the zongzi had been wrapped, Mu Nianci put the fragrant zongzi into the steamer and started to make a fire, Yang Tiexin was gossiping on the side, and the father and daughter were happy.
Ten miles away, Yang Kang is talking with Bao Xiweak, Bao Xiweak is used to doing it herself, she makes zongzi by herself every Dragon Boat Festival, of course, the maids will prepare all the materials in advance, Yang Kang is fooling around, he not only does not pack well, but also gets things everywhere, causing Bao Xiweak's anger.
And our Lord Duan Tiande is walking on the road from the south city to the north city, and his destination is the Zhao Wangfu.
