Chapter 418 Pharmacist Guo's Worries
Chapter 448 Pharmacist Guo's Worries
In the Yamen of Yanshan Mansion, Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi sat opposite each other, the scene was a bit awkward and deserted.

The food and wine on the table was already cold. Although they were all delicacies from mountains and seas, they hardly touched their chopsticks.

These banquets were originally prepared for the imperial envoy to wash away the dust, but when the imperial envoy came, it was an absurd performance, walking and dancing all the way, driving away ghosts here, descending demons there, and even singing a song It's a strange ballad, but it just doesn't talk to Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi.

After entering the city, he plunged into the temporary post and never showed up again.

Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi arranged a lot of programs. Besides eating, drinking and having fun, they even prepared a lot of valuable gifts, but now it seems that there is no chance to even send them in.

The more mysterious the imperial envoy was, the more nervous Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi became. They didn't know what the imperial envoy was doing, let alone what they did wrong.

The imperial decree was not even read out, the two were at a loss what to do, and they couldn't sleep well when they returned to their residence, so they could only spend time in the government office.

After a long silence, Guo Yaoshi asked: "Master Wang, you have lived in Bianjing for a long time, but have you ever heard of the name of Imperial Envoy?"

"Master Guo thinks the behavior of the imperial envoy is weird, right? To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have seen such an imperial envoy." Wang Anzhong picked up the wine glass, sniffed it under his nose, put it down again, and said, "But this I have heard about him. He was originally a military leader in the Bianjing Forbidden Army camp. Two months ago, he suddenly claimed that he had practiced Buddhist and Taoist spells, and he showed some magical spells in public, which attracted Taishi Cai's attention , and recommended it to the current Holy Majesty, and he was able to rise to the top."

Guo Yaoshi frowned, he already knew these contents.

Pharmacist Guo even knew more, such as Guo Jing's route to the north, who he met in Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion, and what kind of treasure he got.

It's just that Guo Jing didn't know anything about Guo Jing's itinerary after he arrived in Baozhou.

"Master Wang, do you think the imperial envoy has other tasks besides preparing the birthday outline?"

"What can it be?" Wang Anzhong said with a contemptuous expression on his face, "He is from the imperial army, and he is a warrior. If he has other duties, how can the imperial court not send civil servants?"

The Great Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs, and the imperial envoys were all civil servants, and there had never been a precedent for military generals serving as imperial envoys.

Guo Yaoshi's face darkened, because he is a general.

In the Liao Kingdom, military generals were highly respected, but after surrendering to the Song Dynasty, they found that military generals were constrained by civil officials everywhere.

When Guo Yaoshi was in contact with the officials of the Song Dynasty, he reported that his family was basically a co-prefect of Yanshan Prefecture, not the commander of the Changsheng Army, because the co-prefect was a civilian and the commander was a military post.

He has been working with Wang An for almost a year. He should understand Guo Yaoshi's thoughts, but he even showed contempt for generals in person, which made Guo Yaoshi very unhappy.

"That's not necessarily the case!" Guo Yaoshi said with a sullen face, "The imperial envoy may have the task of observing the people's situation and inspecting government affairs, such as the road conditions in Yanshan Mansion!"

Guo Yaoshi took Wang Anzhong into the army, if you dare to look down on my background, I will embarrass you.

"The roads in Yanshan Mansion really need to be repaired. But Yanshan Mansion is a frontier prefecture, and military affairs come first, such as the bandits in Shangchenyi!"

Wang Anzhong rebelled against the generals and named Yanshan Mansion for the unrest. You, the leading general, cannot absolve yourself of the blame.

Guo Yaoshi smiled contemptuously and said: "For bandits, just dispatch Lord Wang's soldiers."

It is the prefect's duty to arrest bandits, and my ever-victorious army is a regular army, prepared to defend against foreign invasion.

Wang An's center was even more displeased, he thought to himself that you are not only in charge of tens of thousands of ever-victorious troops, but also controlled the Xiang army in Yanshan Mansion, where did I get the troops to suppress the bandits, do you want me to take a group of yamen servants there?
He is too rebellious, he must be suppressed, otherwise he may be very passive in front of the imperial envoy tomorrow.

So Wang Anzhong coughed, suddenly changed the topic, and asked: "Today, in front of the imperial envoy's car, the woman in the car seems to be familiar with Mr. Guo, do you know each other?"

"The car curtain is closed, how can I know who she is? But hearing the voice, it seems familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it." This is also the confusion of Guo Yaoshi. Inexplicably got a jade pendant.

Especially that jade pendant has caused huge waves in his heart.

"Master Guo, the woman in the car may be an old friend of yours when you were in Liaodong." Wang Anzhong stared at Guo Yaoshi with a smile on his face, and said every word: "I seem to have heard her call you...Jian Shuai!"

Guo Yaoshi was shocked, and his muscles tensed up immediately.

In the Liao Kingdom, Kuan Shuai used to be the pride of Guo Yaoshi, but now that he is the commander of the Song Dynasty, this title has become a taboo.

The officials of the Song State called him the commander-in-chief, do they suspect that he misses his homeland?
Seeing that Guo Yaoshi was nervous, Wang An felt complacent, and continued to ask: "The woman in the car gave the lord a jade pendant, which is so exquisite that I am very envious of it! Can you show it for me to feast my eyes on? "

Guo Yaoshi became even more nervous, because the jade pendant had Khitan characters on it, and it should have belonged to a general of the Pishi Army. If Wang Anzhong saw this, it would make him even more rebellious.

But since Wang Anzhong proposed, Guo Yaoshi had no proper reason to refuse.

Guo Yaoshi raised his right hand and slowly put it into his pocket while staring at Wang Anzhong to observe his reaction.

"Report, something is wrong!" Just at this time, a sergeant rushed in in a panic and said loudly: "My lord, Mr. Guo, something is wrong. The imperial envoy's car was attacked by assassins on Sanyang Street." !"

"Assassin, Sanyang Street!" Wang Anzhong jumped up and asked, "Why did the Imperial Envoy go to Sanyang Street?"

Guo Yaoshi is a general, he is more concerned about other issues, he asked: "How many assassins are there, and where are our people?"

The soldier who reported the message said: "There are more than 40 assassins, blocking our people at the street intersection, and they are fighting fiercely."

There were only more than 40 people, and Yaoshi Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that around the post where the imperial envoy was staying, there were at least five hundred soldiers in charge of guarding, and as soon as the battle started, they would immediately rush over and surround the assassins.

"Assemble the team and hurry to Sanyang Street!" Regardless of whether the imperial envoy is safe or not, someone assassinating is a big deal, and the military and political officials of Yanshan Mansion must rush there as soon as possible.

In order to deal with emergencies, a lot of manpower was also deployed around the government office today, so in less than 5 minutes, a team of more than 300 people gathered, and 10 minutes later, they arrived at the scene of the incident.

This can be regarded as extremely fast in the era when information transmission basically relies on two feet.

However, when Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi arrived, they only saw an overturned carriage, two shot dead horses, corpses lying all around, and injuries groaning in pain.

But the imperial envoy was nowhere to be seen!
