In the post house, there was a table of extremely sumptuous food and wine.
Jin Wushu sat at the top, glanced at Wang Boyan, who was sitting respectfully at the bottom, and drank a drink: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for sending me this fine wine and food."
Wang Boyan was flattered: "Thank you so much."
He didn't know that this man was Jin Wushu, the coach of the Jin Army, but he felt that his style was very similar to that of a Han man. However, Han Qingchang and others did not introduce his identity, and he did not dare to ask. Seeing that Han Qingchang and others respected him, he He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and flattered him to the best of his ability, respecting him as a great king.
"Master Wang, has Zhao Deji agreed to all our conditions?"
"The emperor of our country has agreed, but the third one..." Wang Boyan hesitated: "Can your Majesty change it to a woman? No, no, no, we can send ten or even a hundred women to your Majesty."
Jin Wushu laughed loudly: "Hua Rong must come!"
Seeing Wang Boyan's face full of embarrassment, he smiled and said, "What? Zhao Deji refuses?"
"All other conditions are acceptable, but the Lord does not agree with this one."
"Don't agree? Okay, then don't blame me for forcing the 100,000 soldiers into Yingtian Mansion."
"Your Majesty, please calm down and wait for me to report to the Emperor again."
Jin Wushu said arrogantly: "You can tell Zhao Deji that now that Zongze is dead and he has nothing to rely on, it is better to be obedient. By the way, you can also tell Zhao Deji that there are no secrets in his thatched hut. ! There is no barrier to defend!"
His voice was contemptuous, and he called Yingtian Palace a "thatched hut." Wang Boyan and others were already extremely afraid of the Jin army. Seeing that he seemed to know everything and had no fear, they became even more frightened. After returning, they hurriedly reported to Zhao Deji.
After Jin Wushu and Zhao Deji came to the small courtyard one after another, Hua Rong learned the news of Zongze's death from the guards. For a moment, his heart sank to the bottom, and then he realized that it was no wonder that Jin Wushu dared to come and ask for his money without any shame. .
She thought about it, packed up, and walked out. Since the last time Zhao Deji came here, the supervision of her has been much relaxed, and she even walked around without interfering. A guard stopped her and said Very polite: "Miss Hua, do you have anything?"
"I'm going to see Mr. Xu."
The guards did not dare to stop him and quickly brought Xu Caizhi.
"Miss Hua, what do you want?"
"Sir Xu, who is the main person in the Jin He talks this time?"
"Wang Boyan and others, including Eunuch Kang and Wang Yuan, are all accompanying us."
"I want to see the envoy of the Jin Army. Please ask Eunuch Kang to take me there."
Xu Caizhi was very uneasy: "This is too unsafe."
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely come back."
"The official's place..."
"Don't report it to the officials yet. Just ask Eunuch Kang to accompany me immediately. By the way, we can also explore the reality of the Jin Army first."
Xu Caizhi hesitated for a moment, then hurried back to find Eunuch Kang. The matter was so important that he did not dare to hide it, so he reported it to Zhao Deji. When Zhao Deji saw that she actually took the initiative to go to the Jinjun Posthouse, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried. He hesitated for a moment and made no comment. , Xu Caizhi took Eunuch Kang out.
Hua Rong came to the city gate to wait in advance. When he saw the city gate, Hua Rong's heart suddenly jumped. As long as he went out like this, the sea and the sky would be brighter!
She stretched out her foot, took only one step, and then stepped back.
After all, he didn't give himself to the official family. So, how could he leave quietly without saying goodbye
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Zhang Xian standing aside vigilantly, pretending to be an ordinary person. He was ordered to stay quietly outside Yingtian and waited for several days, but there was no news from Hua Rong. He followed Yue Pengju for a long time, and he asked him to do whatever he asked him to do. He will do his best. After asking the guards he knew well inside, he found out that Hua Rong had been dismissed. Later, he finally contacted Hua Rong and waited in the outer city to prepare for rescue.
Naturally, he also heard about the peace talks with Jin Jun, and even asked the Jin people to name Hua Rong to go there. This trip would inevitably lead to no return. He was anxious, but when Hua Rong winked at him, he quietly followed him. behind.
At this time, Eunuch Kang had already arrived with Xu Caizhi and others. Seeing Zhang Xian, he unexpectedly said: "This..."
"Just a brother in the army."
Eunuch Kang didn't know Zhang Xian, but Xu Caizhi saw that he looked familiar and Hua Rong was acting like this, so he stopped asking and the four of them went to the posthouse together.
In the Jin Dynasty Inn, there was a scene of singing and dancing birds.
Wang Boyan found several top-notch singers in Yingtian and sent them to him overnight. Jin Wushu was enjoying the songs and dances of the Southern Dynasties. When he saw Wang Boyan coming again, he didn't get up and glanced sideways at him: "Where's Hua Rong?"
Wang Boyan knelt down and said, "Today I brought ten beautiful virgins to the king."
Jin Wushu was furious and Huo almost threw the wine glass at him: "I want Hua Rong, why do you send someone else to do it?"
The beauties had pulled out the strings and were about to play. After being frightened, they immediately backed away and huddled towards the door.
"Go back and tell Zhao Deji immediately that Hua Rong will be sent tomorrow. Otherwise, the army will attack Yingtian and massacre the whole city. No man or woman will be spared!"
Wang Boyan was so scared that he was sweating profusely and left quickly.
Jin Wushu waved his hand and was about to ask the singing girls to retreat. His eyes were dazzled. Before he could react, a knife was already placed on his neck. One of them shouted: "Jin Wushu, you are so arrogant! You are so arrogant!" Dare you come to my Great Song Dynasty Inn and utter arrogant words..."
Jin Wushu was so excited when he heard this that he completely forgot about the knife on his neck. When he saw a group of guards rushing up, he waved his hands hurriedly: "Stand back, all of you, stand down."
Eunuch Kang was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground. He was the one who brought Hua Rong. If he assassinated the Jin Army envoy, how could he bear the crime
Zhang Xian pretended to be a guard and was sweating beside him.
Seeing everyone in a daze, Jin Wushu shouted again: "Back off, all of you."
Everyone did not dare to disobey the order and immediately retreated.
There were only two people left in the room, and Hua Rong's knife was still on his neck: "You thief, I will take you back as a hostage right away."
He smiled happily and said with great joy: "Hua Rong, you can't take me. There are at least a thousand elites ambushing around the post house. Since I dare to come, I have made sufficient preparations. What's more, your ruling minister Wang Boyan is Another troop was sent to ensure my safety..."
The kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so weak and shameless.
Jin Wushu noticed that her knife-holding hand was trembling slightly, and said lightly: "The two countries are fighting. If you don't want to kill the enemy, Hua Rong, if you don't want to provoke a dispute, just put down the knife."
"Are you here as an envoy? You are the coach of the Kingdom of Jin!"
"I'm here because of you!"
Hua Rong withdrew the knife bitterly and sat down opposite him: "Okay, Jin Wushu, you want me to negotiate peace. I'm here. What do you want to do?"
Jin Wushu sat down face to face with her. Seeing that her face was pale and very haggard, he remembered that when he left last night, she clearly could but did not call for him to be arrested. He was extremely excited and suddenly said: "Hua Rong, thank you very much."
She frowned when she heard his clueless words.
Jin Wushu was even more excited: "Hua Rong, you showed mercy to me on the last battlefield; yesterday, you never called for me to be captured. Hua Rong, I always thought it was just a single thought, that you didn't take me seriously. , now I know that is not the case, you also like me... "
Hua Rong sneered and interrupted him: "Jin Wushu, you think too much. I am just repaying your kindness for not killing and humiliating Jinying. Now, the grudge is over! There is no reason to be merciful anymore. "
Jin Wushu chuckled: "Hua Rong, I like you, I am not your enemy! I will never be your enemy. Zhao Deji is my enemy, you are not!"
Seeing Hua Rong's haggard expression, he suddenly said angrily: "Hua Rong, did Zhao Deji really force you to come here?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I've warned you a long time ago that Zhao Deji is as shameless and shameless as his useless me. If you don't obey him, how can he let you go?"
She sneered: "The Emperor of the Zhao family is not as miserable as you think!"
Jin Wushu was even more disdainful: "Zhao Deji is more shameless than I thought. He actually used the woman he likes to negotiate peace."
"I came here on my own, he didn't even know I was coming!"
"Did you really come here by yourself?"
"nature!"
Jin Wushu was suddenly overjoyed: "Hua Rong, do you want to meet me?"
Hua Rong also laughed: "Yes."
Seeing her smiling so charmingly, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but he heard her soft voice: "If I have a chance, I will definitely kill you, a thief, to see if you dare to be so arrogant."
"You can't take mine. Hua Rong, to tell you the truth, this time, I am here to take you back."
"Just dream."
"It's not a dream! Zongze is dead, and no one in the Song Dynasty can fight. Zhao Deji will not dare to fight, and will agree to any request we make. You are under house arrest here, and what is the use of waiting to die in vain? Why don't you leave with me? .”
"And my husband Yue Pengju! Jin Wushu, you are no match for him."
When Jin Wushu heard the word "husband", he was very heartbroken and sneered: "Don't say the word husband casually! If you say it too early, it will be bad for a woman's reputation! Yue Pengju is indeed an outstanding general. However, it has never been heard of since ancient times, and the master is suspicious that a general can still perform meritorious service outside. What's more, Yue Peng's official rank is low, and now that Zongze is dead, he has no way to be promoted. A small general, even if he has great abilities, and What can we do? It’s just a small victory at best, what does it have to do with the overall situation?”
Everything he said was true. Hua Rong had already thought about this issue a long time ago and couldn't argue with it at all.
"If you follow me back, you will become my royal princess and you will be given a respected status. Even if you have many princesses and concubines in the Song Dynasty who were caught in Beijing, none of them will have this kind of treatment!"
She thought that she had finally made some progress, she was no longer a concubine, but a princess.
"Hua Rong, this is a marriage. It means that the two countries are on good terms and can stop fighting together."
"The two countries are on good terms and can stop fighting together!?"
"Yes!" He suddenly said, "Not only that, Hua Rong, I really like you, you know it!"
He found that Hua Rong was looking at him intently. Her eyes were obviously as beautiful as autumn water in a cold pond, but he felt uncomfortable being looked at by her eyes like that. He couldn't help it anymore: "What are you looking at? "
"Jin Wushu, if you marry me, will you really know how to retreat?"
"this!"
She smiled: "Jin Wushu, I don't know if others will believe you. Anyway, I don't believe it. The two countries are fighting for profit only. I have never heard that there is such a thing as loving a beauty but not the country. Now, General Zong died, and the Jin State was far stronger than the Song State. Given the huge disparity in strength, how could the Jin State retreat because of a mere woman? Your plan is nothing more than to make the Song State greedy for life and death in the name of peace talks? The civil servants and generals relaxed their vigilance; on the other hand, they secretly prepared their troops and started a war at any time, attacking by surprise and achieving success with one fell swoop... "
"this… "
She smiled even more charmingly: "Jin Wushu, you insist on asking the Emperor of the Zhao family to personally promise to give me to you. You just want to make a big fuss about it, tell the world, let people know the weakness of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and wantonly humiliate Yue Pengju. .After the death of General Zong, Yue Pengju defeated the Jin army in fifteen games, and his reputation spread far and wide. He was the only one the Jin army was afraid of. Your move is to completely drive him down. In this way, you can make the Song Kingdom's already few people The few who are determined to resist will be Han Xin! I'm afraid that when the Emperor of the Zhao family sends me here, you will launch a massive attack!"
