When the envoys entered the city, Qiu Yan had already caused an uproar in the city.

This Dingchang city is located in the frontier, to the north is outside the Saiwai, not suitable for farming, but there are merchants to come and go, there are also people to settle, but compared with the Central Plains, the folk customs here are more strong, the people in the city seem to be stronger than farmers.

The people in the city don't pay attention to poetry and songs on weekdays, but they care about military affairs, and they care about authority very much.

It didn't take long for the streets and alleys to be discussed, but I don't know who revealed Qiu Yan's identity, saying that he was the champion of this imperial examination, and he was very knowledgeable.

"It turned out to be the champion of Jinke, no wonder the general of the festival would greet him in person. ”

"I think that even if it is the champion, there is no need for the general to come forward in person, I am afraid that there will be a reason. ”

"What can be the reason? Bacheng is here to grab the merit again, don't forget that Pan Xiang!"

"Alas, that's what I'm saying, how many Wenchen have come over the years, those of them who read the books of sages, it's okay to say something 'Zhihu', the march and battle are all blind, and the good situation has been delayed by these people, and it has become the point it is now!"

"Yes, let's not talk about the side, let's just say that half a year ago, what kind of new party cadre Pan Xiang, what is that called? Obviously, he rushed forward and fell into an ambush by the Hu people, if it weren't for General Du Lao leading the army to rescue, Pan Xiang would definitely be defeated and killed, and the result was the most troublesome, this Pan Xiang not only had nothing to do, but made meritorious contributions, and the Hu people killed by General Du became his merits, and the blame was instead borne by the old general, and the officials were demoted and people were ......."

"I hope this champion is not another Pan Xiang. ”

......

Similar discussions, circulating in densely populated places such as wine shops and taverns, reflected complaints and distrust of the imperial court officials.

However, it is more or less mixed with some respect for the position of champion, after all, born in this life, everyone knows how difficult it is for Lu Dao to get this name. No matter how much resentment there is against civil officials, they all know that the position of Lu Dao is not something that ordinary people can get.

"Qiu Yan has just arrived here, and his reputation has actually spread, and the Marquis of Maishan has personally received him? What kind of play is this singing? Is he alone more important than the entire envoy group?"

Some of the members of the legation who came to the city were walking in the streets, and Diai was among them, and there were two people beside him, who heard the pedestrians talking. Then there are words of inwrath.

Dee Ai had similar thoughts, but did not show them.

Because it is necessary to keep it secret to a certain extent, when the envoy group entered the city, they specially chose an entrance that did not attract people's attention, and the Marquis of Maishan did not show up, compared with Qiu Yan's treatment, of course, there will be a gap.

After all, there are Hu people in this city, and it is difficult to say which one is the spy. I have to guard against it.

In fact, a convoy like this can be easily spotted as long as it walks on the grassland. From being discovered to being attacked, there is a time lag in between, and there can be an arrangement.

But if you just entered Dingchang City. was known by the Hu scouts, and those who were waiting on the road were not temporarily intercepted. Rather, it is a well-prepared ambush, and the situation is bound to be worse.

At present, this certain degree of covert behavior is all to reduce variables and grasp information, but it makes the members of the envoy group resentful.

In the face of the two complaining, Di Ai seemed to help Qiu Yan clear up: "Brother Qiu is the champion after all, and it is normal for him to have a loud reputation, not to mention others, I and others have also longed for that name in the imperial examination, isn't it because I am respected?"

"That's right. The faces of the other two changed slightly, and then they remembered that this Di Ai and Qiu Yannai were in the same year, and they were on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, maybe they had a good relationship, and saying this in front of him was likely to reach Qiu Yan's ears, and he couldn't help but regret it, and his expression was a little unnatural.

But at this moment, Di Ai's words changed and said with some concern: "However, we are cautious, for fear of being exposed, but Qiu Yan is so fanfare, if he is targeted by Hu Ren, it will be too wronged, because of a small loss, we should go and mention it to Master Meng." ”

When the other two heard this, their eyes lit up, and their hearts lit up like mirrors.

The "Lord Meng" is Meng Qingbin, the envoy of the envoy group, who has just taken over the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites before he came, and this move was proposed by Li Kun and the officials nodded, in order to reflect the sincerity of the specifications of the Sanshui Ministry.

Meng Qingbin has visited Hu many times in the past, and the Meng family behind him is the Hedong Wang clan, which is very powerful in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the family's business involves border trade, and the Hu people have a certain connection, and they understand the situation in the desert very well, so he can lead the team and have his own advantages.

However, in order to prevent some unspeakable hidden dangers, the imperial court also monitored after promising the benefits of the Meng family, and the two sides tacitly agreed.

Di Ai's words were to point out an opportunity for the other two to belittle Qiu Yan.

Many of the people who participated in the mission came to make political capital, and even Meng Qingbin was definitely a regular envoy, and he was immediately promoted to the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he may take over the Ministry of Rites in the future.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, Qiu Yan, who was favored by the emperor, undoubtedly became a thorn in the side, and it is very likely that their merits were counted on Qiu Yan's head because of the emperor's thoughts.

There is a precedent for this kind of thing, of course, it can't be taken lightly, this is invisibly, in this mission, there are many people who are faintly hostile to Qiu Yan, and the two people who are traveling with Di Ai, one is named Zhao Shen, and the other is called Zhong Yan, both are officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the official quality is still above Qiu Yan, higher than Di Ai, but Qiu Yan stole the limelight, so he will naturally be dissatisfied.

Di Ai's trip this time can only be regarded as an ordinary entourage, with added authority, without improving official character, but he has a father-in-law who is a waiter, and he is not without roots in Xingjing, this Zhao Shen and Zhong Yan know about this matter, so they will deliberately make friends and walk with him, and now when it comes to Qiu Yan, he faintly hates the same enemy, but the more he talks, the more speculative.

Walking and walking, Di Ai looked around all the way, talked with Zhao and Zhong, and said at the end: "Okay, the situation is almost understood, I will return to the post station later, and I can call Master Meng back." ”

"That makes sense, then let's go back quickly. ”

The members of these envoys were not indifferent when they went out, they were instructed by Meng Qingbin to take a look in the city, take a walk, and be familiar with the situation in Hudi.

Although Dingchang City is the territory of Darui, it can be located in the frontier, located at the edge of the desert, the folk customs are close to Hudi, and there are Hu people walking.

In fact, the so-called confidential itinerary does not mean to be sneaky, but to try to control the variables, for example, now, on the surface, a few people from the envoy group are scattered in the city, but in fact, some people are secretly following, paying attention to the expressions of passers-by.

This is also a way to ask for directions, if you are lucky, you can lead out the possible hidden dangers in advance and capture them in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, Qiu Yan was taken by Xiao Lan to the Jiedu envoy and sat in the main hall.

A series of scrutinizing eyes fell on him, but he couldn't move his mind at all.

After taking a look, Qiu Yan's attention was first focused on Xiao Lan, and he captured the masculine qi and blood around this Hou Ye, surging like a sea, which had already surpassed the level of building the foundation, and he was a master of life cultivation!

"It seems that the original guess was wrong, and the soldiers seem to be different from the officialdom, but Song Yuan ......"

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan's gaze fell on the old man on the left, and he felt a little dangerous.

"This old man ......"

The old man nodded slightly, smiled at him, and then raised his hand to grasp it, and the scene in the void suddenly changed, and the spirit of a soldier surged, turning in the air, and falling around Qiu Yan, attracting Wen Si and Divine Consciousness, more than a dozen Divine Consciousness immediately beat and wanted to impact out, and the spirit of the sage fused in the Divine Consciousness was also faintly jumping.

However, the spirit of these sages is not complete, it is formed by Qiu Yan's perception, and the real spirit has passed through the hole in the soul to Zhou Rao, and has been used by the god body to lead Zhou Rao's humane order.

In this case, Qiu Yan had to settle down, concentrate his mind, be vigilant around, and prepare to make a move, and his own military order was faintly revealed.

Rumble!

In the senses, Dingchang City seemed to shake instantly, and qi and blood were pulled over, with illusory scenes, falling into Qiu Yan's heart, making memories appear in his heart, and the breath on his body changed abruptly!

The indifferent bookish aura raised by reading for learning dissipated, and then was replaced by an awe-inspiring murderous aura!

However, what is reflected in this murderous aura is not tyrannical, wanton and bloody, but full of heaviness, stability, and orderliness, and there are vaguely tens of millions of soldiers behind him!

But the next moment, the breath dissipated.

"Huh?" the old man sighed lightly, "Zhuangyuan Gong really has supernatural cultivation, but this soldier's aura really surprised the old man, with the right match, with the odd victory, not angry or angry, as if leading the army to conquer countless generals!

"Huh?"

Hearing the old man's words, everyone present showed a look of surprise, even Xiao Lan's eyelids jumped, and there was a little more solemnity in his gaze when he looked at Qiu Yan, and then asked a few questions.

Qiu Yan is neither humble nor arrogant, facing many eyes, talking as usual, leaving a little impression on everyone, these people have been on the battlefield for a long time, have an aura, sitting in this hall, there is a decisive momentum to gather, from the scholars who came here, either only promises, or they think very highly of themselves, they are all affected by the breath and lose their normality, only people who have a successful heart can maintain their hearts.

Of course, this kind of successful person may not be a sage or a loyal minister, but without exception, they are all influential figures in Darui and the grassland.

Right now, among these people, there are more Qiu Yan.

As he spoke, Qiu Yan saw that Xiao Lan had no malicious intent, so he made a proposal: "The mission will stay here for a day, Qiu wants to take this opportunity to take a look at the Dingchang military camp and the surrounding scenery, and hope that the festival will be allowed." ”

"What's so difficult about this," Xiao Lan's eyes moved, and she turned her head and called, "Xiao Jian, come here." (To be continued......)
