Hua Rong said loudly: "The eldest prince, Tongshi (another name for translators at that time) is difficult to translate, so I'll stay and translate it for you. The meaning of this song is that the Song and Liao countries took over the land of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and established the country." For hundreds of years, I have boasted about my wealth, but I don’t want to suffer the pain of national subjugation overnight. The lesson from Yin is not far away, and I sincerely hope that the Kingdom of Jin will last for a long time, and that the armored soldiers will continue to prosper... "
She said this in Jurchen language, crisp and smart. Zong Han looked at her sharply and laughed loudly: "Since I raised my army, in the past thirteen years, I have destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and entered the Central Plains. Zhao Deji You're like a lonely deer, what's there to be afraid of?"
Hua Rong sat down and ignored him. Zong Han was unhappy after receiving this rebuttal, but he couldn't vent to an unknown member of the envoy in public. He also felt that this person looked familiar. He turned to look at Jin Wushu and saw him. Sitting on the back of the chair, holding a wine glass, a meaningful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
…
Song prisoners and others had always been afraid that Hua Rong would kill him, but when they saw that Zong Han didn't say anything, they breathed a sigh of relief and kept looking at Hua Rong, thinking that there was such a person in the Song Dynasty's envoys. people
Zong Han was very bored and said angrily: "The banquet is over and the willow shooting competition will begin again."
Most of the Song prisoners ate with great etiquette and ate slowly, unlike the Jin people who devoured their food voraciously. Most of them were not full yet, but after Zong Han gave the order, who would dare to eat again? I had to go back to the court immediately to watch the next shooting match.
This time, it was Zong Han's turn. The leader was Zong Han's brother Gu Shen, who was also one of the most famous Jurchen warriors and one of the main forces in the southern invasion. He was the tallest among the Jurchens, over eight Song Dynasty feet (according to the Today’s unit conversion is about 2.05 meters). Although Gu Shen looks thick, he is very careful and cultured. He has already begun to draft Jurchen characters. He has always been a best friend of Zong Han’s faction, and because of this, Xin The old wolf master was very afraid of him.
Among the children of the royal family, he and Jin Wushu are recognized as good archers and strong men. With the two of them leading the shooting team, it is completely a competition between the forces of both sides. Therefore, no one dares to take it lightly.
The God of Grain comes out of the battle, and Zong Han beats the drum himself.
He was more than ten years older than Jin Wushu. He was already married with more than 230 wives and more than a dozen children. He was also relatively fat. Although he was still majestic, he could not attract any young girls even after walking around. screamed, and only the soldiers on Zong Han's side cheered loudly.
Zong Han was fierce and had a very bad impression among Song prisoners, but Song Huizong and others naturally did not dare to offend him, and they still applauded numbly as if Jin Wushu was on the stage.
Zong Han was dressed in a black iron military uniform, and his bow was also pitch black. After circling the field for a week, his fat body was like a civet cat. He shot an arrow at a willow branch tied with a red handkerchief. The white branch of the willow branch fell to the ground with a sound. Catch it, throw it into the sky, chase after it, raise your hand to catch it, and wave it high above your head.
Thunderous cheers erupted all around, and Zong Han beat the drum even louder, laughing loudly: "Gushen, the first warrior of Dajin, the first warrior..."
Jin Wushu sneered, sat on the side very unhappily, raised his head and took a big drink from the wine bottle.
It was the turn of the other thirty-nine Jurchen Knights to come on stage. After one round, Zong Han could not even close his mouth with laughter, because in his team, twelve were at the top, twelve were in the middle, and fifteen were at the bottom.
Although he only won a little bit, this was enough to make Zong Han overjoyed. He put down the drum and glanced at Zong Wang beside him: "Hahaha, Wushu is still inferior to the God of Valley after all..."
Zong Wang was a relatively peaceful person and did not take it seriously. He just smiled and said: "We are all brothers, congratulations."
Jin Wushu on one side was young and vigorous after all. In addition, after losing the naval battle, although he brought back a large amount of property, Zong Han and Gu Shen always used it to ridicule and attack him. This time, his subordinates actually lost a piece, and they were so angry that they were angry. .Looking at Yelu Guanyin next to him, he was chatting and laughing with Zong Han's family members. He didn't know what was going on. When he saw Yelu Guanyin for the first time, he felt that he was very dissatisfied with this woman. When he saw her walking towards him, Holding a flower ball in his hand, he tilted his head and pretended not to see it.
Yelu Guanyin is a Khitan. Because her father surrendered and achieved a high position in the Jin Kingdom, she was able to betrothed to Jin Wushu. However, after the death of the old wolf master, her father obviously lost power and was already in a state of isolation. At this time, there was a huge power disparity between Zong Han and the new wolf master. Not much, Yelv Guanyin's other sister was Zong Han's eighteenth wife, so she followed her father's wishes and was easily offended, trying to please both sides.
She chatted and laughed with her sister for a while, and when she saw Jin Wushu's expressionless face, she guessed that he was unhappy, so she walked over, originally wanting to comfort him. However, firstly, she was shy as a girl after all, and secondly, she had been called a grassland since she was a child. The "first beauty" came to this white mountain and black water. She was also one of the best beauties. Even compared with the princess of the Song Dynasty, she was not inferior. She had always been flattered by others. Seeing Jin Wushu's cold attitude, he was stunned for a moment. I'm sorry. I walked over, waited for a while, and then turned back. There was no trace of Jin Wushu, and he had no idea where he was.
Gu Shen was very proud of his victory, and the toast was given by Song Huizong and his son together. Song Huizong first presented a glass of Yanjing's famous Jinlan wine with both hands, and said: "Marshal Su Wen is so brave, I saw him today. I really admire you for your superb shooting skills!”
Gu Shen took the wine with his right hand and drank it all. He shook the broken willow branch with his left hand and said proudly in blunt Chinese: "This autumn, I only need five thousand strong horses to level your Lin'an and win the victory." The heads of your nine sons are like the willow branches that are reflected..."
Song Huizong was so shocked that he didn't dare to reply at all. Zong Wang on the other side hugged Princess Maode, laughed and scolded her in blunt Chinese: "Goddess of the Valley, please don't be rude!"
He turned his head and performed a Jurchen salute to Song Huizong according to the etiquette of the Jin people. He knelt on his left knee, squatted on his right knee, and raised his hands and shook his elbows three times. This was the son-in-law's salute to "Mount Tai".
Song Huizong and others felt relieved when they heard Zong Wang say: "Don't worry Taishan, the two countries are now negotiating for peace. If the negotiation is successful, I will let you wait until you return to the south."
Gushen smiled arrogantly and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the cold voice of Jin Wushu next to him, but he said to Song Huizong: "Hunde Gong, today is a performance, why don't you ask your southern envoy to come out too?" Compete, compete, compete…”
Song Huizong thought that he was deliberately making things difficult, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly said: "Fourth Prince, please forgive me. Southerners are not good at riding and shooting, and they dare not show their ugliness..."
Jin Wushu laughed loudly: "Didn't someone in your southern envoy dare to speak rudely just now? Why don't you dare to come out and try your skills?"
All the Song prisoners were originally afraid that they would blame the bold little envoy. At this time, they all looked at Hua Rong and saw that she was still sitting where she was, not looking at what was happening here.
Song Huizong begged: "The fourth prince, please remember that he is young and ignorant..."
Seeing that Hua Rong was petite, he thought she was a young man. Jin Wushu laughed and pointed at Hua Rong: "Since she dares to speak rudely, let her come out and try her skills..."
He said this very loudly, and Yu Wenxuzhong, who was already restless, heard it immediately. He glanced at Hua Rong in panic, and in his heart he only blamed her for not pushing forward.
When a group of Song prisoners saw that Jin Wushu had forced their own personnel to make a fool of themselves, they could not plead for mercy. At this time, Yu Wenxuzhong was already reminding Hua Rong, saying in a low voice: "You are guilty of abusing the Fourth Prince..."
Zhahe stood beside her and looked at her nervously, thinking that she had offended Zong Han and was being retaliated against, so he followed her step by step.
When Yu Wenxu saw this Jurchen soldier following him, he did not dare to scold him, but frowned secretly.
Zhang Xian and Liu Qi on the side were also very nervous and exchanged glances secretly.
Hua Rong followed Yu Wenxuzhong to Jin Wushu and said calmly: "What are the orders from the Fourth Prince?"
Jin Wushu's eyes were bright: "Today is a feast, why don't the envoys of the Song Dynasty also perform a performance to cheer up the wine..."
All the prisoners of the Song Dynasty broke into cold sweat, but Hua Rong said casually: "This is Jinren entertainment, we won't join in the fun..."
"Why, you don't dare?"
Hua Rong knew that he was a fierce general, but he heard Gu Shen laugh and say contemptuously: "A boy who doesn't even have hair, can only show off his powers of words..."
Hua Rong smiled slightly and suddenly looked at Jin Wushu and others: "In this case, Hua Rong, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, has made a fool of himself."
Jin Wushu laughed loudly and clapped his hands three times, and saw Wu Qimai leading Jinses up, holding a set of red riding clothes in his hand. Hua Rong took the riding clothes and put them on without being served. , jumped on the horse.
At this time, the sun had just set, and everyone saw her nimbleness, beautiful posture, nimble movements, and moves like a rabbit. And the red riding outfit she was wearing was brand new, and it obviously fit her body so well. The shape seems to have been prepared long ago.
Before she signaled to everyone, she saluted everyone like a Jurchen knight. The moment she took off her helmet, her long black hair was seen flying like a waterfall.
At this time, most of the people present have already figured out that this is a woman!
Such bright sunshine shines on her face, such a smile, fair and noble forehead, red lips, soft chin, like the flourishing peonies bred by the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Southern Dynasty, or like the seven-color nasturtiums that bloomed early in the white mountains and black waters. .
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Zong Han suddenly came to his senses, pointed at her, and said loudly: "Song Nu, she is the Song Nu who escaped..."
However, no one heard what he said. At this time, Hua Rong had already put on his helmet and picked up the bow and arrows that he carried with him, and Jinses immediately started running.
The onlookers were all surprised. This famously fierce Jinsais was Jin Wushu's favorite horse, but at this time, he was so familiar with it, as if Hua Rong was its old owner.
At this time, 10 new willow branches have been planted on the field. Hua Rong ran forward and bent her bow. Her crossbow fired three arrows in a row, cutting off three white willow branches. The tips of the willow branches fell. The directions were not consistent, but she clamped her horse's legs, leaned over to fish them out, and then took a step forward, and unexpectedly caught three willow branches steadily.
It is not easy to shoot three white poles with three arrows at a time, but it is even more difficult to catch three broken willow branches. The god of cereals on the side couldn't help but stared at it for a while, then shook his head and thought to himself It simply can't be done.
