Now that Zhang Yi and others have agreed on a plan for Pingxia, they have to be busy according to their respective division of labor.But within a few days, Zhang Wei, Zhe Keshi and Murong Fu left Fuyan Army one after another.But this time, Bao BuTong did not go back to Beijing with Murong Fu, but was left behind to deal with the matter of buying Wan Yanbu.

For people like Bao Budong, the so-called loyalty to the monarch and patriotism is by no means as important as realizing personal value.It is precisely because he always wants to show his ability that he is unwilling to honestly pursue his official career, but chooses to run for the Murong family's rejuvenation and usurpation of the throne.In the final analysis, how can a generation of capable ministers be as popular as the founding fathers?

Because of this, when Murong Fu said: "As long as you can subdue the Yan family, you can be appointed as an official and make a wish." Shidao Zhong who came to see him off couldn't help grinning, obviously extremely disturbed in his heart.But Bao BuTong immediately understood that he had an opportunity to show his talents, so he puffed up his chest and was full of energy, vowing to be a big hit!

I saw Bao BuTong bowed to Murong Fu with a smile on his face, and said decisively: "Don't worry, my son, if Lao Bao can't subdue Yanbu, come and see me!" As he spoke, he suddenly frowned slightly, and said cautiously. "It's just... my lord, others are easy to talk about, what if those raw people want an imperial edict?"

Bao DiTong hadn't finished speaking, but Zhong Shidao was about to jump up and scold his mother.This Wanyan tribe is uncivilized, and they don't even have their own writing. What imperial edict do they know?When Bao BuTong said this, he clearly wanted to join in the fun and not think it was a big deal!

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu just smiled casually when he heard the words: "If he wants an imperial decree, why not just write him a piece of paper?" , not only refuses to work, but also always has the strength to chatter.As for wanting to show one's ability in the task, that is simply a virtue!As long as he can really do a good job, it is also reasonable for him to be the boss and give his subordinates the bottom line.

However, as soon as Murong Fu finished speaking, he immediately realized that his tone was very similar to that domineering eunuch in a movie of later generations.He immediately cleared his throat, turned his head and said solemnly to Master Zhong: "Brother Zhong, don't worry, when the important matter is over, if you burn this false decree, you will die without proof!"

Following Murong Fu, Zhong Shidao even did arbitrarily quarreling and deceiving the upper and lower, such a big matter that hurts the whole family, how could he be charged with the crime of correcting orders?Seeing Murong Fu's comforting words, he couldn't help but sighed softly, cupped his fists and said: "Take care all the way!" He also told Xue Muhua who was following Murong Fu, "Take care of Mingshi!" After saying that, he turned and left.

When Murong Fu saw that Zhong Shidao agreed with his actions, he also smiled, so he gave a soft reprimand, rode his horse and swung his whip away.

Bao BuTong waited for another half a month in the Yan Yan army, and finally received news from the Liao Dynasty.Yelu Hongji, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, was really annoyed when he learned that the tribute had been burned, and sent someone to question Xingshi of the Wanyan tribe.However, Yelu Hongji's IQ has not been completely dropped. When he questioned the Wanyan Department, he also said that the Wanyan Department colluded with the Han people to set fire to the tribute, forcing the Wanyan Department to hand over the Han people who were the culprits.Naturally, the Wanyan clan had no one to hand over, so the patriarch and Libu's eldest son, Wu Yashu, were taken away.On the way to Shangjing, Wu Yashu clashed with Liao soldiers several times. He was tortured to death shortly after he arrived in Shangjing, and he never got the chance to complain to Yelu Hongji, the leader of Liao Dynasty.

Bao BuTong burst out laughing when he heard the news, hurriedly mobilized his men and horses to pretend to be merchants and went to Wanyan Department.This time, Murong Fu, who was exhausted from the journey, was absent this time, and Bao Dong's speed was much faster, and he arrived at Wanyan Department in less than a month.

As a Shengfan tribe that has not yet formed a written language, the Wanyan tribe naturally does not have mature mourning rules.But the pain of losing a loved one will not be lessened by the absence of rules.Therefore, as soon as Bao Bufang came to the Wanyan tribe, he already felt the heavy atmosphere in the tribe.Seeing Wanyan Aguda who came to greet him, Bao BuTong immediately showed an anxious expression on his face, and asked eagerly: "Brother Aguda, what happened in your department, why are you all so depressed? "

Wanyan Aguda looked at Bao differently for a long while, and finally sighed deeply: "It turns out that Brother Bao is here, please come inside!"

Bao BuTong was naturally bold, and when he saw the difference in Wanyan Aguda's expression, he just pretended not to know, thanked him hurriedly, and followed the other direction and went to Li Bu's camp.

However, I haven't seen him for two months, and He Libu has looked haggard a lot. His originally muscular body has shrunk severely, and he looks thin and stooped.And the skin on his cheeks was even more slack, and the black beard under his chin had also turned gray, as if he had gone from a strong man in the midst of the sun to a sunset in the west in an instant. Obviously, the pain of losing his son had hit him hard.

Bao BuTong was also taken aback by how old Li Bu was, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Bao BuTong met the patriarch, what happened? Why did you, patriarch..."

He Libu raised his eyes complicatedly to look at Bao BuTong, and said in a dark voice, "Your name is Bao BuTong?"

Bao Buxin jumped slightly, but still cautiously replied with a worried face: "Exactly!"

"Take it!" He Libu's eyes were red, and he immediately yelled loudly. "Chop off his head and bring it to His Majesty!"

Bao BuTong possessed martial arts but at this moment he didn't resist at all, allowing several strong men in the tent to hold him down with their hands behind their backs, and only made a look of panic and shouted in multiple voices: "This... What's going on? Patriarch! Brother Aguda, Lao Bao is here to buy ginseng! What's going on?"

Bao Different's acting skills may not be able to fool Murong Fu, but it is more than enough to fool Wanyan Aguda who is still pure in heart.Wanyan Aguda immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Baotong and shouted: "Father, don't be impulsive! You can't believe the words of the Khitan people!"

He Libu has always valued A Guda highly, and when he heard what A Guda said, he immediately showed hesitation.

Bao BuTong also worked hard behind Ah Guda, yelling, "What's going on? What's going on?... You guys don't keep promises at Wanyan, are you trying to take my money?"

Interpreter Xu Zhuocheng Nianzai was also of Han family blood, so he couldn't help pleading for Bao Budong at this moment: "Patriarch, let's ask the question clearly before...then..."

Aguda and Xu Zhuocheng pleaded for Bao Budong at the same time, and Libu finally calmed down, and ordered: "Let go of him first."

"Thank you, Dad!" Aguda responded immediately, turned around and helped Bao BuTong up.

Bao BuTong wiped his face in surprise and fear, and sat timidly across from He LiBu, secretly watching him for a while without saying a word.Duandi vividly portrays the image of an ordinary Han businessman who loves money and cherishes life.

Seeing Bao BuTong's appearance, He Li Bu's heart was already slightly shaken, but the tone of his question at this time was much more gentle. "Mr. Bao is here to buy ginseng?"

Bao Budong nodded silently, and immediately replied: "Patriarch, we have already agreed that this ginseng business can last for a long time. If you kill me now, you are killing the chicken to get the eggs!"

The corner of Helibu's mouth twitched, and after a while he said again: "When you came last time, the Lord of Liao was collecting tribute, do you remember?"

Bao Budong nodded again and again, impatiently said: "My son has helped you, you can't repay your kindness with revenge!"

"Are you helping us or harming us?" Helibu asked in awe, "Are you the thieves who attacked the Liao army barracks and set fire to the tribute? Tell me! Did you kill my eldest son Wu Yashu?" Before Li Bu could finish his sentence, a strong Jurchen man next to Bao BuTong put a knife on his neck.

"Ah? Brother Wu Yashu is dead... is he dead?" Bao Budong immediately made a look of surprise, opened his mouth in a daze for a long time before shouting loudly. "Wronged! Wronged! It wasn't me! It wasn't me who killed brother Wu Yashu! It wasn't me!"

Wanyan Aguda saw Bao BuTong throwing himself on the ground and crying like a butchered pig, but he had some sympathy for him and looked down on him, he couldn't help saying: "Daddy, it's not him, he doesn't have the guts!"

Seeing this, He Libu also agreed with A Guda's opinion, and said: "His son is courageous!"

Wanyan Aguda shook his head again. "It's a pity that the body is too weak!"

The father and son were frowning in confusion, frowning in silence, Bao BuTong suddenly choked up and said, "Ah...Brother A Guda, can you tell Lao Bao what happened?...One person counts the short, and the two count the long!" Seeing Wanyan's father and son turned his gaze to him at the same time, he hurriedly wiped away his tears and put on a flattering smile.

Seeing that Bao BuTong had the guts to ask for details, Aguda couldn't help being surprised.The father and son were silent for a moment, and finally told Bao BuTong the whole story.

When Bao Budong heard that the envoy sent by the Lord of Liao not only killed Wu Yashu, but also took another tribute of greater value, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh and cursed: "The emperor of Liao is too unreasonable! His soldiers were incompetent and lost the tribute, not only did he not blame his own soldiers, but instead came to oppress Wanyan, what is this?"

What Bao Budong said was that Wanyan and his son felt sorry for each other, and immediately sighed together.

"However, this matter really has nothing to do with my Su family!" Bao BuTong hurriedly judged for himself, "Patriarch, if our Su family really has the ability to compete with the Khitan Pishi, how can it be wiped out by others? "

"The king of the Southern Court said that you are not ordinary merchants, but officials of the Great Song Dynasty!" Wanyan Aguda gritted his teeth again.It turned out that Xiao Feng felt very guilty for not keeping Wu Yashu, so he told Wanyan Aguda everything he knew when A Guda came to Shangjing to retrieve his brother's body.Wanyan Aguda saw Xiao Feng being so brave, he never resisted several punches from him, let alone made his subordinates make things difficult for him, but he believed his words to some extent.

"This...it's hard to tell!" Bao BuTong hurriedly raised his arms to argue, "If Lao Bao is an official of the Song Dynasty, call Lao Bao Tian to strike with lightning!" He made an oath through gritted teeth, and said again. "Although Lao Bao is a merchant, he also knows that we Song people hate the Khitan people. If you have the ability to burn tribute, why not use it on the battlefield? What is a mere tribute?"

"That's right! You hate the Khitan people..." Helibu suddenly said something meaningful when he heard the words.

Bao BuTong was stunned for a while before he understood what he meant, and then repeatedly complained. "Patriarch, my Su family does have a deep blood feud with the Khitan people, but if we want to take revenge, the envoys from the Liao Kingdom can use muskets to assassinate them when they come. Why wait until they leave the Wanyan tribe?" After a pause, he continued. . "Then the Great King of the Southern Court kept saying that we murdered and set the blame on us. What is the evidence? ... Patriarch, according to Lao Bao, it is very likely that the Great King of the Southern Court and his subordinates embezzled the tribute privately, and then pretended to be the tribute. The emperor has harmed you even more!"

The statement that the package is different is obviously more tenable.In the past years, the envoys of the Lord of Liao came to the Wanyan tribe to ask for tribute, and they often asked for Naka.The amount of tribute must always be several percent higher than the original one, in order to satisfy the envoy.This time, the king of the South Court didn't take any money, Wanyan Department thought he was a good person, but unexpectedly, he had the intention of taking it all alone!And his evil behavior is obviously more in line with the Jurchen's consistent impression of the Khitan people.

Seeing the puzzled look on the faces of Wanyan and his son, Xu Zhuocheng, the interpreter, also said in a low voice: "Patriarch, if Mr. Bao is indeed an official of the Song Dynasty, and deliberately framed Wanyan, then his goal has been achieved now, why come back? What about it? And the words of the envoy who came to inquire about crimes are equally suspicious! Since the Jurchens who burned the tribute were all masked, why did Wu Yashu, the leader, teach people to recognize their identities? It is clear that the Lord of Liao deliberately framed them!"

He Libu hesitated for a long time, finally nodded, and asked Bao BuTong: "Mr. Bao, what are you doing here?"

"Me?" Bao Budong swallowed subconsciously, and said cautiously. "I'm here to buy ginseng!"

Wanyan Aguda looked at the bag differently for a long while with a cloudy expression, then asked suddenly: "How to buy?"

Bao DiTong looked at the other party in doubt, and said in a low voice: "Those who are less than 20 years old, each stick has ten guan; those who are less than 50 years old, each stick has 50 guan; Well, the price can still be negotiated..." Seeing that A Guda's face was pale, Bao Budong immediately added a sentence. "Brother Aguda, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can negotiate again! Negotiate again!"

A Guda stared at Bao Budong for a long time, and said quietly: "We still have horses, beizhu, raw gold, and animal skins, do you want it? But we don't want your copper coins and food, we want you to pay with muskets, knives and arrows! "

"Aguda!" Wanyan Aguda's voice fell, and He Libu knew the deep meaning, and cried out in panic and worry.

However, Wanyan Aguda deserved to be the Jin Taizu in history, with a very long-term vision, he only said to He Libu calmly: "Father, the Khitan people are getting more and more fierce towards us, we have to try to protect ourselves!" Turning his head to stare at Bao BuTong again, he said fiercely. "how?"

Bao BuTong was right in his arms, but he still had a sad face on his face and said, "Brother Ah Gu Da, you don't know, these muskets, knives and arrows are all weapons in our Great Song Dynasty. My son and the magistrate have teachers Tu Zhiyi also knelt in the county government office for three days..."

Before he finished speaking, Wanyan Aguda winked at the strong Jurchen standing beside Bao BuTong.The strong man understood, and immediately pressed the knife to Bao Budong's neck, several blood beads immediately appeared.

"I promise! I promise!" Bao Ditong yelled out of his wits, choking his throat!
