Jin Yuxing, a mouse and cat

At noon on the sixth day, a group of people entered Xiangyang City, and the imperial envoy was the governor on behalf of the sky. The King of Xiangyang, the lord of the city, was supposed to come out to greet him, but at this time it was Jin Hui, the prefect of Xiangyang, who came out to greet him. Just a dozen people.

The prefect of Jin Hui is only a fifth-rank official. He is wearing a scarlet official uniform. He looks like he is in his 40s. He came cautiously with his official hat on. He lifted up his official robe and knelt down. My lord." After speaking, he bowed to Bai Yutang and Gongsun Ce respectively.

Yan Chasan glanced at the person who came and then nodded. He had expected that the King of Xiangyang would not come. It seemed that what the Baxian King said was true. Zhao Jue really had nothing to fear in Xiangyang.

Everyone was speechless, Jin Hui took people to the mansion where the distinguished guests were received.Yingyi and Hong Ling walked last, looked around, and then nodded to Bai Yutang, indicating that it was okay.

The mansion has a three-story courtyard, which may have just been repaired. There are new paints inside and outside, and the furniture is also new. There is no trace of dust, and the cleaning is very clean.

Jin Hui told everyone where the bedroom was. Bai Yutang's bedroom was opposite to Yan Chasan's and Gongsun Ce's bedroom, while Hong Ling's bedroom was in another courtyard, and the other attendants lived in other places.Several people entered the house to take care of it, and then came to the front yard together.

Jin Hui was still waiting in the front yard. Seeing that they were all here, he led Yan Chasan and Bai Yutang to the dining place. The food and drinks had already been prepared here. Jin Hui was also very polite at the dinner table, and just asked Yan Cha Whether it is safe to go all the way, I will not mention other things.

Jin Hui thought that they would not be disturbed after their hard work, so he resigned early, and Yan Chasan didn't let him inquire about King Xiangyang, and the first day passed like this.

Bai Yutang tossed and turned while sleeping, thinking that Zhan Zhao didn't know what he was doing at this time?After thinking about it, I finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.

The next morning, in the main hall of the front yard, Gongsun Ce sat down on the side seat and asked Yan Chasan, "My lord, when are you going to see King Xiangyang?"

Yan Chasan thought for a while, then shook his head, "What's your opinion, sir?"

"This is in Xiangyang. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. He must have known about it from the moment we entered Xiangyang City. It's better to wait for them to come." Gongsun Ce said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

Sitting opposite Gongsun Ce, Bai Yutang pulled out Huaying, looked at the sharp blade repeatedly, and frowned when he heard Gongsun Ce's words, why is it so troublesome?

"My lord, Jin Taishou is here." The attendant hurried in from outside the door to report.

Yan Chasan and Gongsun Ce smiled at each other, and they stood up quickly, "Please."

Jin Hui walked in and saluted.

After Yan Chasan led the people to sit down, he returned to the main seat and sat down, and asked, "Prefect Jin came early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Jin Hui wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Gongsun Ce.

"This is?" Gongsun Ce looked at Jin Hui and asked.

"Early this morning, the King of Xiangyang sent someone to deliver this letter to his subordinates, telling them to pass it on to Lord Yan." Jin Hui fidgeted and explained.

Yan Chasan took the letter from Gongsun Ce, tore open the opening, pulled out the paper inside, read it carefully for a while, blushed with anger, and slapped the letter on the table, "Threats, threats, he has the guts to too big!"

Jin Hui was taken aback. "My lord, what's the matter?" Gongsun Ce raised his head and asked.

Yan Chasan was speechless for a while, but just handed the letter on the table to Gongsun Ce, "Sir, read it yourself."

Gongsun Ce didn't react much after reading it. After reading it, he was thinking about something, so he was stunned. When he looked up again, Bai Yutang had already walked in front of him, "Sir, what was written in the letter?"

"It's better for the white guard not to know." Otherwise, with your temper...

Bai Yutang also knew the rules, looked at the letter in Gongsun Ce's hand, curled his lips and sat back to the distance.

Gongsun Ce looked at Yan Chasan and said, "My lord, the King of Xiangyang is afraid to persuade us to leave Xiangyang quickly." He looked at Jin Hui and said word by word, "Can the prefect Jin tell us about the king of Xiangyang? thing?"

Jin Hui could see that the imperial envoy who came this time must not be the private party of the King of Xiangyang, and he himself had suffered so many crimes during his tenure in Xiangyang, and he had something to complain about, so he said, "I am dissatisfied with you, sir. Since the beginning of Xiangyang City, many strange faces have come one after another, and most of them ended up living in the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion. Presumably these are people from the rivers and lakes of Xiangyang Wang Guanglan. Recently, there are often people from Liao. He started recruiting troops, and now he doesn't know how many teams he has developed, there are his troops in the surrounding county, his eyes and ears."

Yan Chasan was furious after hearing this, "As the prefect of a city, why didn't you report to the imperial court!"

Jin Hui snorted coldly, "Let's not say that there are old and young in the subordinate's family who need to be preserved. Even if the memorial is prepared, it will not be sent to the Golden Luan Hall. The kingship in Xiangyang is powerful, and I don't know how many officials have colluded with the court. The memorial sent is early. It was intercepted!"

Hearing the words "collude with the officials of the DPRK and China", Yan Chasan slapped the table, "Can you talk nonsense about the officials of the DPRK and China?"

Jin Hui also spoke impulsively. Seeing Yan Chasan's actions, he immediately knelt down, "My lord..."

Gongsun Ce raised his hand to intercept what he was going to say, "Does the Jin prefect know that the king of Xiangyang colluded with the officials of the court, accumulated grass and grain, and conspired against him?" He also secretly pulled Layan Chasan.

Yan Chasan sighed, this imperial envoy was more difficult than expected, he invited Jin Hui to get up.

Jin Hui shook his head, "My lord, let's not talk about whether the King of Xiangyang colluded with the court officials and the Liao people. At least it is well known that he let the last military champion Zhong Xiong take the master of the navy to guard Junshan for him. Do you need evidence for this? ?”

Gongsun Ce was silent for a long time, this place is far away from Bianjing, even the well-known things here cannot be spread to the capital. "If your lord wants to write a letter to the Holy Majesty, we have to find evidence that the King of Xiangyang colluded with the rebellious party and practiced favoritism. Otherwise, it is impossible for the emperor to send troops without real evidence. If this is the case, we will scare the snake away."

Yan Chasan nodded solemnly, "Mr. is right."

Jin Hui thought for a while, "Actually, this is the first time the emperor sent an imperial envoy to Xiangyang. Xiangyang city is really too dangerous. I advise you to return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Bai Yutang slapped the table, looked at Jin Hui and said, "Going back is impossible!" Then he turned to Kongsun Ce, "Since you said you want evidence, sir, the evidence must be in the Xiangyang Palace, and my subordinates will investigate it tonight Explore one or two!"

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Gongsun Ce stared at him with wide eyes, "Could it be that when Guard Bai is about to leave, what Guard Zhan said must not act in a panic. Even if there is evidence that it is in the Xiangyang Palace, the guards there are heavily guarded, and it is difficult to enter and exit." It’s not easy either.”

Yan Chasan looked at the two of them, and persuaded Bai Yutang: "We have to think long-term about this matter, and we can't be careless. Fifth brother, remember, you must never go to Xiangyang Palace alone."

As if being put on a splint, not here, not there, Bai Yutang frowned and inserted Huaying into the scabbard without saying a word.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Jin Hui respectfully said: "Your Excellency, you must not lose your footing first. The subordinate officials have resigned first, and the subordinate officials will definitely help them if they are useful in the future."

Yan Chasan stood up, nodded, "Naturally." Then he called someone in and sent Jin Hui out of the mansion.

Let's say that on the morning of the fourth day after Yan Chasan and his party left Beijing for Xiangyang, except for Jiang Ping, the three elder brothers of Bai Yutang all came to Kaifeng Mansion.The three hurried in and entered the mansion, but no one stopped the notification.

Just as Zhan Zhao was coming in from the courtyard, he was stopped by Lu Fang who ran from behind, "Brother Zhao, where is Master Bao?"

Zhan Zhao called someone and pointed to the meeting room in the courtyard, "Your Excellency is discussing important matters with General Di, how many brothers are here so soon?" Seeing that there were only three of them, Zhan Zhao asked, "Where is fourth brother?"

Lu Fang patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and they walked towards the meeting hall together, and he said as he walked, "Fourth brother is going to Xiangyang directly."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Go directly?"

Lu Fang sighed, "There is something important, let's talk about it after meeting Lord Bao first."

Sitting on the main and guest seat of the meeting hall is a majestic man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, armed and dressed, about 30 years old. This is General Di Qingdi; The two young men are his twin sons, Di Long and Di Hu, who are also bravely armed.

"My lord, Brother Lu and the others are here, and they said something important." Zhan Zhao came in and cupped his hands. There was no need to report, but now that Master Di is here, he has to go through the motions.

"Please." Bao Zheng got up and said.Di Qing also stood up, wondering who is the person who made Bao Zheng look forward to coming?

The three of them came in and saluted, and naturally they did not forget to greet General Di.

Di Qing looked at Bao Zheng, "Who are these three?"

After some introductions, it was clear enough. Now that he was seated, Zhan Zhao knew that Di Qing was invited by Bao Zheng. The second son was brought to Kaifeng Mansion as a guard.

Di Qing smiled, looked at his two sons and said, "It's time for you to sharpen your skills, and learn from Mr. Bao here."

"Yes, Dad." Both Di Long and Di Hu grew up in the military camp, and they behaved very well. After hearing Di Qing's words, they immediately stood up and answered with straight backs.

Bao Zheng said: "General Di is good at teaching children." Di Qing smiled and said nothing.

"Lu Yishi, what's the important thing?" Bao Zheng frowned slightly and said.

"My subordinates led the brothers and met Beixia Ouyang Chun and Zhihua on the way here. The two of them intercepted a hero post. Unexpectedly, it was an invitation from the King of Xiangyang to conspire with important matters. Nowadays, many Everyone has gone to Xiangyang, and the subordinates came here to report." Lu Fang said.

Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Where are those two now?"

Lu Fang continued: "I went to Xiangyang with my fourth brother. Well, tell the fifth brother about the situation."

Bao Zheng nodded.Di Qing thought about it, got up and said: "The Eight Sage Kings are really right to be on guard. Now the King of Xiangyang is about to make a move. What do you think, Mr. Bao?"

"Zhan Huwei, I order you and the three righteous men to rush to Xiangyang immediately." Bao Zheng said.

"Yes, this subordinate takes orders." Although Zhan Zhao looked in no hurry, what he was waiting for was Master Bao's words. Now that Master Bao is guarding him, he doesn't have to be careful.

Watching the four of them leave, Bao Zheng looked at Di Qing, "General, let's enter the palace with me."

Di Qing nodded.
