Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 223
At the gate of Biancheng County, Gao Yao continued to read out the content of the imperial decree, while Zhang Shun and the others also maintained a half-bow posture.

"... I hope Zhang Tie can continue to work hard and guard the border, so do it!"

"Master Zhang, Your Majesty has very high expectations of you."

Gao Yao rolled up the imperial decree again, handed it to Zhang Shun, and spoke earnestly, revealing a trace of envy in his words.

King Xiang's attitude towards Zhang Tie was surprisingly good. In a short period of time, he was even promoted to three levels. From ancient times to the present, only the prime minister Wang Yu of the previous dynasty had done similar things.

"Sir! Commander, we will never let down the king's high expectations!"

Zhang Shun accepted the imperial decree with a serious face, let go of his doubts for the time being, no matter what, now is something to be happy about.

His elder brother was promoted to the chief minister, and he was almost on an equal footing with the county guard. He also had 3000 taels of silver, which could alleviate the economic problems of Biancheng County.

Following the opportunity handed to Zhang Shun, Gao Yao only said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "I know Mr. Zhang has some doubts in his heart, and I will tell you slowly in private later."

Looking thoughtfully at Gao Yao, Zhang Shun nodded slightly, looked at the knights following Gao Yao, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, all strong men, it's hard work, we are ready Drinks, please go and have a rest."

Gao Yao smiled and waved to the knights behind him.

"Since Mr. Zhang invited us, why not go, let's go, brothers, go and taste the wine prepared for us by Mr. Zhang. I have heard that the wine in Biancheng County is very delicious, so I just have to try it today, hahahaha."

"Please!"

The night in Biancheng County was extremely lively today. Zhang Tie's promotion to the military commander was like a huge stone falling into the water, causing big waves.

Whether it is in the streets or alleys, or in the house, it is full of laughter and laughter.

Everything they have is basically given by the two brothers Zhang Tie.Now that Zhang Tie has been promoted, and the place of appointment is still in the generation of Biancheng County, how can they not be happy and laugh?

In the county government office of Biancheng County, Zhang Shun led Gao Yao away from the crowd and came to a rockery.

Because of the appointment of the county magistrate, the county government has been built relatively spacious, with rockery and water, and small trees and bamboo forests.

Pulling at the corner of his clothes that was blown up by the wind, Zhang Shun looked at Gao Yao in front of him and asked softly.

"I don't know what Master Gao wants to tell me?"

The backside of the rockery is very quiet, and the cold air blows on the body through the gaps in the rockery, which is bitingly cold.

Fortunately, the physical fitness of both of them is far superior to that of ordinary people, otherwise they really wouldn't be able to stay for a moment.

Gao Yao looked at Zhang Shun in surprise, he did not expect that the other party, a frail scholar, would not be afraid of the cold.

However, the surprise was the surprise. Gao Yao was very clear about what he should do first, and that was to tell the other party the reason why there was no news about killing the Mongols this time.

After flexing his somewhat stiff right hand, Gao Yao took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to Zhang Shun.

"These silver tickets are rewards for killing the Mongols. Your Majesty specially asked me to give them to you privately."

There are forty or fifty bank notes, each of which is worth 100 taels. With so many bank notes, it is too expensive to be able to carry it in your pocket.

"Well! What?..."

The gray banknotes were constantly enlarged in Zhang Shun's eyes, so many banknotes still surprised him.

"Master Zhang, listen to me, the thing is like this..."

Gao Yao shook his head lightly, and explained all the reasons to Zhang Shun in detail.

"That's the way it is. Master Zhang, the king is helpless. His Mongolian country can invade because of the problems among the tribes, but our Yan country can't."

"If you commend him directly, it is undoubtedly equivalent to tearing your face, but it's not that King Xiang is afraid of him, but because of our current situation, it is not appropriate to make enemies with the Mongolian country. The Yan country needs peace."

Gao Yao patted Zhang Shun on the shoulder, apologetic.

"King Xiang is very satisfied with what you have done. It's just because of diplomatic matters, Mr. Zhang, I have wronged you for the time being, but don't worry, King Xiang said that when the national situation stabilizes, I will give you the rewards you deserve immediately."

"So that's the case. We really can't have wars anymore. It's because King Xiang is thoughtful."

Suddenly Zhang Shun felt relieved, if Gao Yao didn't explain the reason to him, he might be thinking wildly.

Zhang Shun naturally took the bank note from Gao Yao and put it in his cuff. Since it was the compensation from King Xiang, he just accepted it.

If you don't accept it, you will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself and others.

"Let's go, Mr. Gao, and continue eating. There are many things you may not have eaten here."

"Oh! Is there anything else I haven't eaten?"

The two of them returned to the banquet, chatting and laughing all the way, and ate the delicious food on the table with everyone.

……

When the banquet ended, it was already evening, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very harmonious and lively. Some special delicacies in Biancheng County were even more delicious for Gao Yao and others.

Sour and sweet wine, spicy and spicy air-dried meat, crispy and delicious chicken, and grapes that melt in your mouth.

The delicacies produced by these systems made Gao Yao and others go crazy for more than 50 people. They insisted on eating more than [-] servings. In the end, they couldn't hold on anymore, so they gave up.

If the stomach can still hold, I'm afraid I will continue to eat, and the time for the banquet will have to be pushed back.

Zhang Shun's heart twitched as he watched plate after plate of system products enter the stomachs of Gao Yao and the others. The cost of so many items was not small.

"Fortunately."

Silently touched the bank note in the cuff, the rough texture made Zhang Shun's heart calm down again.

Every time a dish was served, Zhang Shun would touch the silver ticket in his cuff to calm his heart.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Shun's heart finally returned to his stomach, and as he continued to eat, he was afraid that the silver bills in his cuffs would not be able to calm his heart down.

Because they were too full to eat, Gao Yao had to wait for others to go to the resting place. He was supported by others and walked slowly to the dormitory arranged by Zhang Shun step by step.

After making arrangements for Gao Yao and others, some important officials of Biancheng County stayed behind, and Zhang Shun talked with them about some matters.

The main thing is to talk about the next move, and by the way, convey the news that Gao Yao told him to others, so that everyone can understand that there is no reason for killing the Mongols in today's imperial decree.

This matter cannot be concealed. If we conceal the reason and do not speak out, I am afraid that everyone will feel cold and lose their expectations.

ps: lol, it's getting cold, it's uncomfortable!
