Straight man of steel

Chapter 147

After entering Jiangzhou City, things became much easier.

The prefect of Berkshire sent people to escort Duotong's gift to Chang'an, while Zhang Yuan and the others could go back and return to their orders first.

"Officer Sima Lang, what have you learned from your trip to Bashu in the past few months?"

Deep down in Zhang Yuan's heart, he still wanted to hear Sima Xiangru's opinion. If Sima Xiangru hadn't been determined not to go to Yelang, Zhang Yuan would have let him go.

"The foolish people on the border still need to be educated to know the majesty of the emperor."

How does this look like a great writer?

Zhang Yuan almost fell off the horse when he heard this.

As long as Sima Xiangru is a person who cares about the country and the people, if he writes some articles about the poverty of the people, his reputation will be much bigger and spread to later generations.

"I took a long breath to cover my tears, mourning the hardships of the people's lives.

Alas, the world is so difficult, we still need to work hard. "

The two completely different answers made Jifu on one side laugh out loud.

"It's clear at a glance that Officer Sima Lang is a long-lived man."

Sima Xiangru bowed slightly to Ji Fu and said softly.

"Sir, please speak more kind words in front of Junhou. Changqing has admired Junhou's demeanor for a long time, so how could he harbor hatred for Junhou?"

Jifu nodded his head and replied.

"But, as long as you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion after you return to Chang'an City, I can say any kind words for you."

Sima Xiangru's face turned pale and he stopped continuing the topic.

The reason why he didn't go to Yelang was also because of Jifu's sudden visit to the mission.

Tian Fu has always had a bad impression of him. If he died in a wilderness for no reason, it would really be like calling the sky and the earth useless.

"Look, you just said that he is a long-lived person, and immediately he put on a dead face to show you. I can't bear it if I put it on me."

If Sima Xiangru could fight with Ji Fu, he would definitely add a different color to this boring journey. Zhang Yuan immediately started to provoke the two of them without sparing any effort.

Well, yes, aboveboard provocation.

"Zhang Xingren, please don't joke. This old man is white. Officer Sima Lang is a close minister of the emperor. I have the right to watch him show his face. If he offends Officer Sima Lang, I am afraid that I will lose my life."

Hearing Ji Fu's sarcasm, Sima Xiangru's expression softened immediately.

Even if Liu Che values ​​him, he doesn't have the right to provoke the people around Tian Fu, but there are a lot of people who can provoke him.

Who is not Liu Che's person at this moment?

"Sir, you are joking. How dare you show embarrassment to him. Before that, you suddenly thought about the difficult life of the people in Bashu, so your complexion was a little ugly."

In this era, there are several types of people.

He only has his own eyes, such as Tian Fu.

Only Liu Che's eyes, such as Zhang Tang.

Not only Liu Che but also his own eyes, such as Sima Xiangru.

But they don't see the people in their eyes, Zhang Yuan is very clear about this, and he is still thinking about the difficult life of the people in Bashu, which is simply farting.

Ordinary people will only mention two or three sentences to show their minds when the superiors think of their usefulness.

"Oh, young people nowadays don't know how to respect the old and love the young."

"To grow old and not die is to be a thief."

Zhang Yuan was not angry, and directly choked to death.

Since Jifu revealed his experience to him, the estrangement between Zhang Yuan and Jifu faded away.

At least Zhang Yuanxin has more secrets than Ji Fuxin.

"Um???"

Just when the first few people were about to fight, Huo Zhong's voice suddenly broke in at this moment.

"Pedestrian order, someone in front is blocking the mission's convoy."

Several people are quite annoying now, especially Sima Xiangru, he said directly.

"Directly send someone to drive them away. If they don't obey, they will be killed on the spot and stop the emissary convoy. Don't people want to live now?"

Zhang Yuan didn't say a word, he also meant the same thing, it's not enough to kill him with a stick, just drive him away.

There are always some people who think that all the officials from the capital are big officials who can make decisions for the people, but they don't know that neither the officials nor the people have much say.

Huo Zhong lowered his head, but did not obey Sima Xiangru's order, as if he still had something to say.

"I'm the deputy envoy of the mission. Are my words not working well now?"

Sima Xiangru lost face for a moment, and continued to talk to Huo Zhong.

Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Sima Xiangru, and asked.

"Who exactly stopped the mission?"

Huo Zhong glanced at Sima Xiangru, but did not dare to speak directly.

"It's okay, just say what you have to say. Before returning to Chang'an, everyone in the mission must listen to me."

"Pedestrian order, Zhuo Wenjun, the eldest daughter of the Zhuo family, blocked the way in front, saying that she wanted to walk with us."

In the past, Zhang Yuan, Sima Xiangru, and Zhuo Wenjun would not meet at the same time, not to mention being under the watchful eyes of the public, so Sima Xiangru was able to keep from attacking.

But now there are more than 100 people in the mission, and some civilian husbands are all watching here.

Immediately Sima Xiangru shouted loudly.

"Whoever it is, just drive them away."

Only now did Zhang Yuan realize how much damage Zhuo Wenjun's escape from marriage had caused to Sima Xiangru. At this moment, he really wanted to step forward to comfort Sima Xiangru and touch his back.

Zong Xing and Ge Erdan in the team also heard Huo Zhong's words clearly, and immediately drove the horses to surround Sima Xiangru.

Li Jian glanced at the current situation, shook his head in desperation, and drove the horse to stand in front of Sima Xiangru, and the three of them surrounded Sima Xiangru.

"Are you three going to rebel? Take them all to me."

Everyone in the mission, including the soldiers, knew that Li Jian and the three belonged to Zhang Yuan, and that half of the Tiger Talismans were also in Zhang Yuan's hands. Who would dare to act rashly now, and the situation would be very embarrassing.

Sima Xiangru suddenly found that a deputy envoy like himself was not as good as a small official in the mission. At least a small official could still command the civilian husbands. Now no one listens to him when he orders the civilian husbands.

Seeing that he would arrive in Chang'an in half a month, or in a month, Zhang Yuan didn't want to have an unpleasant quarrel with Sima Xiangru at this time, or else there might be some trouble when he and Liu Che played against each other.

"Okay, Officer Sima Lang don't get angry, I'll go ahead and see if Zhuo Wenjun is okay.

As an envoy, I know this better than anyone else, and I will definitely not take the initiative to violate it.

Sima Langguan can rest assured, besides, she is just a woman.

The past follows the wind, and the world is like a dream.

Fame and fortune will eventually come to nothing. "

Zhang Yuan drove forward immediately, and didn't look back at Sima Xiangru anymore, he had given Sima Xiangru enough steps anyway.
