Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

Gongsun Mingyue suddenly changed his face, and sneered: "In fact, the national teacher has already determined that we are the Song army, so it's better to put us in prison now, so as to save us from worrying."

"I thought that the monarch of the Southern Xia Dynasty had always advocated sinology, and would definitely treat court officials like us who could not display their ambitions with courtesy. I didn't expect that they were such superficial people." Gongsun Mingyue stood in front of Zhang Yuan with a big stride and said, " It seems that we should ask the national teacher to lock us up!"

Zhang Yuan laughed loudly: "Don't think that I will be fooled if you use the aggressive method, come here, and put these two people in prison. No one is allowed to talk to them without my order."

Gongsun Mingyue smiled contemptuously, and pulled Qiu'er away with the soldiers.

Zhang Yuan looked at Gongsun Mingyue's back and fell silent. If he is really Sun Zhuling's younger brother, he must have read his brother's court formation map, so this person can really be used well. What if he is not?Then he can also use him, thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Gongsun Mingyue and Qiu'er were imprisoned, Gongsun Mingyue didn't seem worried at all, but Qiu'er couldn't hold back anymore, as soon as the soldiers left, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Gongsun..."

Gongsun Mingyue immediately interrupted his words and said softly: "I have said it several times, call me son, now that we are in Nanxia, ​​we must pay attention to every word and deed, Zhang Yuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, since he saw you You can tell from the calluses on your hands that this is an extremely thoughtful person. We must be careful in everything."

Qiu'er stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly: "I forgot. Young master, do you think that Zhang Yuan will keep us locked up forever?"

"I don't know," Gongsun Mingyue said with a sigh, "But we haven't reached a desperate situation yet, we still have a chance."

Gongsun Mingyue took a gamble just now, if he doesn't admit it, then Zhang Yuan will doubt himself even more, why not let him figure out a way to prove it by himself, he is absolutely sure that Zhang Yuan definitely doesn't want to give up on Sun Zhuling's younger brother, Because now is the time when they need talent.

Gongsun Mingyue's guess was right, Zhang Yuan was worrying about his affairs now, he was walking around the room, fidgeting, when someone came to report: "National teacher, the emperor is here."

Li Binghao strode into the room, saw Zhang Yuan's uneasy look and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback and then said: "Oh, it's all right. Is the emperor here today?"

"The Liao Kingdom sent a letter to discuss the matter of besieging the imperial court. It's not that I can't make up my mind, so I came to discuss with you." Li Binghao sat down on a chair.

Zhang Yuan also sat down beside him and asked, "Why did Yelu Jun say the siege?"

"Oh, I just said that we want to discuss together, but I'm worried..." Li Binghao paused.

"The emperor is afraid that Yelu Jun will take the opportunity to get rid of us?" Zhang Yuan asked.

Li Binghao sighed and said, "That's right. It's not like you and I don't know about Yelujun's ambitions. Besides, Zhuge Yan is dead, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't turn his finger on us while venting his anger on the imperial court."

Zhang Yuan thought of Sun Zhushu, this might be a few times to test him, thinking of this, he said: "I have a military strategist here, how about this, let's listen to his opinion, what do you think?"

When Li Binghao heard that he was a military strategist, he immediately became interested and hurriedly said, "Call him here."

When Gongsun Mingyue and Qiu'er were brought in, Li Binghao and Zhang Yuan were whispering with their heads down, and immediately stopped talking when they saw them.

When Gongsun Mingyue saw Li Binghao for the first time, his sneaky eyes made him feel uncomfortable, and he also liked to stare at people all the time. Ever since Gongsun Mingyue entered the door, his eyes had never moved away. .

Zhang Yuan stood up and introduced Gongsun Mingyue: "This is Sun Zhushu, Sun Zhuling's younger brother."

When Li Binghao heard the name, he immediately stood up and asked, "Is that the famous military strategist Sun Zhuling?"

"Exactly."

"Then please sit down, please sit down." Li Binghao said while holding Gongsun Mingyue's sleeve, with an affectionate look.

Gongsun Mingyue knew from looking at their pretentious appearance that they were trying to test herself.

Gongsun Mingyue didn't shake off Li Binghao's hand, but let him sit on the chair, and said after sitting down, "I don't know why the national teacher asked me to come, don't you believe me?"

"You said you are Sun Zhushu, so I would like to ask a question," Zhang Yuan looked at him and said, "It is said that the family of the two parents did not get along because of some trivial matters, but one day one party came to the other's house and said that the family members were being bullied. The in-laws help vent their anger. If it were you, would you help?"

Gongsun Mingyue pondered the meaning of this question carefully in her heart. Zhang Yuan would not ask himself for no reason, something must have happened, and would it be related to their next plan?

Gongsun Mingyue pretended to think for a moment and asked: "Since it is a two-parent family, it should naturally be the same to the outside world. Do you need to think about it?"

"But the two of them are at odds."

"Didn't the national teacher say that, it's just a trivial matter, it's nothing serious." Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile, "I'm not a child, it's not worth it to hurt the peace of my parents and family for a trivial matter."

"Is it really that simple?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"It's so simple in the first place, what's the problem?" Gongsun Mingyue looked at Zhang Yuan curiously and said, "Is there any ulterior secret?"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback, but didn't immediately refute. He glanced at Li Binghao and said, "Mr. Sun, since you are Sun Zhuling's younger brother, you must know where he is now, right?"

Ever since that woman died, Sun Zhuling hadn't shown his face again. I think no one in this world knows where he is except him, Gongsun Mingyue.

Gongsun Mingyue said with a smile: "He is my brother, of course I know where he is."

"Where is he?" Zhang Yuan asked nervously.

"Why should I tell you?" Gongsun Mingyue stood up, walked around Zhang Yuan and said, "You ask my elder brother, do you want him to come out of the mountain?"

"What I care about is who you are, not whether he, Sun Zhuling, will come out of the mountain." Zhang Yuan said anxiously.

"Isn't he Sun Zhuling's younger brother? Why don't you know who he is?" Li Binghao asked from the side.

Gongsun Mingyue looked at the double spring between the two, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't you just want to know if I am Sun Zhuling's younger brother? Then I only need to repair a book, and you can send someone to give it to my brother." Now, he should be able to prove that I am his brother, right?"

"Okay, I think this matter probably requires me to go there myself." Zhang Yuan said while looking at Gongsun Mingyue, the meaning was very clear, Gongsun Mingyue was not stupid, he knew what it meant.

Gongsun Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "Please prepare paper and ink, I will write now."

Soon the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all ready, Gongsun Mingyue looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "This is also my family letter, can you please avoid it for a while?"

Zhang Yuan and Li Binghao looked at each other, then nodded, turned and walked out the door.

"Qiu'er, come and grind ink for me." Gongsun Mingyue waved to Qiu'er. He knew that Zhang Yuan and Li Binghao would not be obedient, so they must be hiding outside and watching every move in the room.

Qiu'er saw Gongsun Mingyue's strange eyes, he knew it was a secret signal, and he should prepare.

He polished the ink unhurriedly. Gongsun Mingyue took up the pen and wrote after thinking for a while, but Qiu'er stopped grinding the ink after writing halfway. He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his hands and said: " I was scared to death just now, and my palms are sweaty, so I'll wipe it off first."

There is a kind of herbal medicine hidden in Qiu'er's sleeve, which was discovered by Gongsun Mingyue on the way here. He ground the herbal medicine into powder and put it in Qiu'er's sleeve. It was originally used in case of special needs, but unexpectedly Used it so quickly.This herb has a strange effect, that is, it can hide the words written in ink, and unless wine is used, there is no way to make it appear.Gongsun Mingyue is confident that Zhang Yuan must not know this kind of herb, because he only knows about poisonous weeds, and probably has no interest in this kind of herb that can save people.

Soon Gongsun Mingyue finished writing the letter, he folded the letter and put it in the envelope, then said to Qiu'er: "Go and ask them to come in."

"No need to call." Zhang Yuan walked straight into the house, looked at the letter in Gongsun Mingyue's hand and said, "Mr. Sun has written it? Then leave it to me!"

Gongsun Mingyue handed the letter to Zhang Yuan, saying: "This is a family letter, I hope the national teacher will not open it privately. As long as my brother sees this letter, he will naturally come forward to prove my identity."

"Don't worry, Mr. Sun, Zhang will never open it privately, and will definitely hand it over to Brother Ling." Zhang Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and ordered to the soldiers behind him, "Help Mr. Sun prepare the guest room and take good care of it for me. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise you are the only one asking."

"Yes." The soldier asked Gongsun Mingyue, "Please follow me."

Gongsun Mingyue raised her head proudly, and followed the soldiers out of the house without looking at Zhang Yuan. He knew that Zhang Yuan was under house arrest, but he believed that Zhang Yuan would hold a banquet to apologize to him soon.

Li Binghao watched all this silently without saying a word. After Gongsun Mingyue and the others left, he said to Zhang Yuan: "Are you sure this person will be a secret agent of the imperial court?"

Zhang Yuan opened Gongsun Mingyue's letter, glanced at it and said: "Whether it is a secret agent of the imperial court, we will find out soon, General, I think I will set off immediately, fortunately, the place where Sun Zhuling lives is not far from us. I will be able to return soon, let’s put aside the matter of Liao Kingdom for now, and talk about it after I come back.”

"Okay, but shouldn't this Sun Zhushu get more people to look after him?" Li Binghao asked.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment and said: "No need, this person is not stupid, not only not stupid, but also very smart. Before I come back, nothing will happen to him."

"On the other side of the Liao Kingdom, the emperor needs to send more people to strengthen our defenses. Don't let them catch us by surprise." Zhang Yuan did not forget to order while putting the letter away.

There was a faint murderous intent in Li Binghao's eyes: "I think Yelujun doesn't have this ability yet."

"It's better to be careful, I'm leaving first." Zhang Yuan shouted to the soldiers outside the door, "Get me a fast horse immediately."

"Yes."
