Jiao Wan'er nodded slightly, and replied softly: "During this time, various forces have sent people to Yangzhou to win over Li Kexiu. Apart from some forces that are too weak and hopeless, there are still envoys from the Five Kingdoms, followed by the Qing Dynasty. , Jin, Mongolia, Liao, and Southern Song."
"Li Kexiu is still an official of the Qing court in name. The Qing court knew that he had other thoughts, so he sent Suo Etu, an important official of the court, to come here in person. After hearing that Li Kexiu had talked with him a few times, he used the name of rampant water bandits and thieves. He hid in the green camp, left Suo'etu in the Daotai Yamen, and at the same time let officials at all levels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang keep visiting him, so that Suo'etu would not be easy to attack even though he knew he was playing tricks."
"The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin entered the city today. It seems to be Tang Kuobian. I heard that he has a high official position in the Kingdom of Jin and is the most powerful minister of the Kingdom of Jin. However, he does not have many guards with him. People with strong limbs and simple minds don't understand the reason why a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. With so few guards, he is not afraid of being caught and assassinated here. Hey, why do you look so ugly, boss? "
Song Qingshu felt depressed, thinking that I was the one you scolded as "strong limbs and simple minded", but it was not convenient for him to explain the reason to Jiao Wan'er, so he had to deal with her casually.
Jiao Wan'er continued: "The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were also arranged in the Daotai Yamen. This time people from the Kingdom of Qing and the Kingdom of Jin gathered together. One wanted to appease Li Kexiu, and the other wanted to instigate Li Kexiu. I don't know if there will be a dog-eat-dog fight."
She is a citizen of the former Ming Dynasty, so naturally she has no good impressions of Jin and Qing.
"Ahem~" Seeing Jiao Wan'er talking more and more excitedly, Song Qingshu hurriedly interrupted, "Okay, okay, I know the situation of the Jin and Qing countries, what about the others?"
Jiao Wan'er glanced at him suspiciously, thinking that the biggest enemies of our Golden Snake Camp are the Jin and Qing countries? But how did she know that Jin and Qing are now her own property.
It was inconvenient for her to go against Song Qingshu's meaning, and although she was puzzled, she continued to say: "Mongolia, Jin, and Qing are all feuds, and their envoys certainly don't dare to enter the city with great fanfare like the envoys of Jin and Qing, but disguise themselves After entering, Li Kexiu secretly arranged them in the mansion of a salt merchant named He. The salt merchant named He is a well-known rich man in Yangzhou City, and his mansion is beautiful. Li Kexiu arranged them there, which is enough to show that he attaches great importance to it. Affection."
Song Qingshu hurriedly asked: "Do you know who the messenger from Mongolia is?"
Jiao Wan'er shook her head: "The whereabouts of the Mongolian group are mysterious, and they deliberately concealed their identities. If we hadn't gotten the information by chance, we wouldn't even know that they had entered the city. Now there may not be many people in the entire Yangzhou city who know their exact location. In addition, after they lived in the He Mansion, their masters surrounded the entire mansion secretly like an iron barrel, and not even a fly could fly in. I didn't want to sacrifice the lives of my brothers, so I gave up going in to investigate."
"Well done, just to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, let me investigate the situation in Mongolia." Zhao Min's beautiful face appeared in Song Qingshu's mind, wondering if she would be the Mongolian envoy this time
Song Qingshu quickly shook his head. When Zhao Min left Daxing Mansion last time, he clearly stated that he was going to investigate Murong Jingyue's whereabouts, so why would he come to Yangzhou as an envoy.
"The envoys from the Liao Kingdom are not treated so well. Li Kexiu doesn't seem to have deliberately arranged their accommodation, so that they have to book the Yuelai Inn in the south of the city by themselves." Jiao Wan'er couldn't help gloating, after all, these are all from the Golden Snake Camp. Competing for Li Kexiu's.
"The Liao Kingdom is now in the west, and Li Kexiu's neglect of them is also expected." Song Qingshu said with a smile, "What about the Southern Song Dynasty?"
"Li Kexiu seemed to care about the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, and arranged them in the famous Chanzhi Temple in Yangzhou City. The peony flowers there are particularly famous, and the environment is quiet, so it can be called a scene in Yangzhou." Jiao Wan'er replied. .
"It seems that Li Kexiu is really inclined to Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty." Song Qingshu thought in his heart. Now that the Qing Dynasty is in trouble at home and abroad, and the rise of the Golden Snake Camp has cut off the territory of the Qing Dynasty. The enclave of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is destined to change hands. Li Kexiu's best choice is to be close The Southern Song Dynasty and the most powerful Mongolia.
"Wan'er, who is the envoy from the Southern Song Dynasty?" Song Qingshu then asked.
"I happen to know that," Jiao Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, "The envoy sent by the Southern Song Dynasty was Lu You, the Privy Council's chief envoy, accompanied by Lu Guanying, the owner of Guiyun Villa, and Cheng Yaojia, the owner's wife."
"Lu You?" Song Qingshu's face suddenly became extremely exciting. You must know that this is a master of Chinese textbooks in the previous life, especially the fans who have been abused by the national football team thousands of times. They often laugh at themselves. , quite like Lu You's sentence "Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifices are never forgotten to tell Nai Weng".
"Do you know him, Master?" Jiao Wan'er asked strangely.
Song Qingshu shook his head: "I don't know each other, but I have been friends with each other for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet a real person."
After waking up from the worship of idols, Song Qingshu suddenly said strangely: "It's strange, the Privy Council has ordered that although he is a great official to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the high-level people, his weight is too light. The envoys are all high-ranking ministers. Although the Mongolian side doesn’t know it, they must be very noble people. The Southern Song Dynasty only sent such a small official. It’s too inappropriate. .”
You must know that in the official system of the Southern Song Dynasty, within the Privy Council alone, it is not considered an important official position. There are Privy Envoys, Privy Council Affairs, Tongzhi Privy Council Affairs, Privy Council Deputy Envoys, Privy Council Affairs, and Privy Council Affairs. After waiting for a series of bosses, the next step is the Privy Council. No matter how you look at it, you will feel that the size of the mission team sent by the Southern Song Dynasty is not enough.
"Why did Guiyunzhuang Lu Guanying and his wife get involved with the Southern Song court?" Song Qingshu remembered something again. Before Guiyunzhuang, he was a water bandit on Taihu Lake, but now he has changed into a government official. This is too strange.
Jiao Wan'er smiled and said: "In the past, our Golden Dragon Gang was also in Jiangsu, and we knew a little about the details of Guiyun Village. Their owner's surname is Lu, and he is a member of the Shanyin Lu clan, and Lu You is also from the Shanyin Lu clan. Shanglu Guanying and his wife have always been friends with Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and they have also devoted themselves to the cause of resisting aliens over the years. With these layers of identities, it is not surprising that they entered the court of the Southern Song Dynasty."
"So that's how it is, the Shanyin Lu family..." Song Qingshu suddenly realized that Shanyin was an alias for Shaoxing, Zhejiang in his previous life. There is a scenic spot in Shaoxing called Shen Garden, which witnessed the love tragedy between Lu You and his ex-wife Tang Wan. How many idiotic men and women burst into tears.
