The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Zhao Tong sat in the lobby of the Dutong Division and read the letter again, then slowly raised his eyes and landed on the two women.

One of the two women is wearing red and the other is wearing white. They are both young and pretty.

Although his demeanor is not as low-key, humble and respectful as the Yuan family before, he is still cautious and polite, and does not exceed all the etiquette that should be done.

Zhao Tong put the letter in his hand on the table and said, "Are you two from the Xixia Palace?"

At this moment, Yuan Guo was not in the hall, and Zhao Tong sent someone to drive him out in advance. It was better not to let him hear some things.

The two women looked at each other, and the one in white said: "My little girl, Qinghua, this is my junior sister Hongyu. Although the two of us are sending messages to the imperial concubine, we are not from the palace."

"It's not from the palace..." Zhao Tong said, "Where did it come from? Concubine Jing is from the Yuan family, and you are from the Yuan family?"

The two girls shook their heads, and Hongyu said: "They are not from the Yuan family, General. It is not convenient for us to reveal our origins. We hope that the General will forgive us."

Zhao Tong frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about it, now that I am at war with Xixia, but you are here to deliver a message for Concubine Jing to ask for someone, I can definitely detain you and kill you!"

Qinghua said: "General, the military strategists of the Song Dynasty have a famous saying that when two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoys. In the past, when Daxia went to war with the Song Dynasty, they would not kill the other side's envoys. What's more, my junior sister and I just sent a letter to ask for redemption. , and does not involve war.”

Zhao Tong sneered and said: "Although I heard that your two names are in Chinese, I'm afraid they are also parties. The two countries are at war. It is true that the envoys will not be killed, but it is not used in this way. You are not the envoys of Xixia, but Concubine Jing sent you privately. When doing things, whether to kill or not is not the decision of the general?"

Hongyu said: "General, the so-called army of benevolence and righteousness is invincible in the world. The army of benevolence and righteousness never kills innocent people indiscriminately. My sisters and I have no grudges against the Song State and the general. I believe that the general will not kill us." .”

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes: "Who taught you all this? Renyi is just a teacher who has a reputation for upholding benevolence, justice, and fighting evil. If Renyi had been soft-hearted on the battlefield, he would have been defeated long ago. The person who told you these words You know even a little bit about this, but you dare to come out and teach others? If you two act like this, you will be killed sooner or later without even knowing it."

"No, it's impossible. Miss Lin is also a Han Chinese and has read a lot of poetry and books. The bookshelf in her room is full of Chinese studies. How could she be wrong?" Qinghua bit her lip in defense.

"What Miss Lin? Is she the senior sister of you two?" Zhao Tong shook his head: "I'm afraid she's just a good teacher, a girl who doesn't know the heights of the world. She's not satisfied with one bottle, but half the bottle is swaying."

Hongyu Qi'ai said: "Miss Lin is not a senior sister, but she is really knowledgeable. Even the imperial concubine admires her very much."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Tong saw the dissatisfied expressions on the two women's faces and waved his hands: "I've read it, believe me. It's not impossible for Concubine Jing to redeem her brother, but the price she offered is too low. will not agree."

"General, this price is not low, right? Even if the royal family is captured, they will not pay so much money to redeem them!" The two women immediately frowned and said in unison.

Zhao Tong sneered: "You want someone with only 5 taels of silver? You're sending a beggar. This would be too slighting the general!"

The two women stood there in a daze after hearing this. 5 taels of silver was a huge fortune in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Daojun spent a lot of money just for 20 taels, and he threw his face and jumped around and roared. These 5 taels were in Xixia Already an astronomical figure.

Zhao Tong changed the topic and said leisurely: "But I am also wondering. Although Yuan Guo and Concubine Jing are brothers and sisters, they are not from the same mother. Can Concubine Jing go to such trouble to save him?"

Qinghua said: "The imperial concubine is not just saving her brother, she is also saving her family."

"Saving my family..." Zhao Tong nodded, understanding what was going on. According to Yuan Guo's current crime, it must be enough to punish the Nine Clan. Xixia's punishments were harsher, far better than those in the Song Dynasty, even among the royal families. Also kill if you say kill.

Although the Yuan family has an extraordinary status and would not be ordered to wipe out the whole family by Li Qianshun, Yuan Guo cannot escape, especially Yuan Guo's direct relatives, who may be beheaded.

But with Concubine Jing here, there may still be room for change in this matter, but the first step is to find Yuan Guo and let him explain what happened. Was he forced to do so, was he threatened, or was he taught to simply beat him to death, so that he can get away with it? crime.

Zhao Tong said: "You two go back and tell Yuan Jing that 5 taels is too little, and I am not short of money. If you want to redeem Yuan Guo back, you must show sincerity!"

"How much does the general want?" Hongyu said, "There must be a number, so I can go back and report it later."

Qinghua also said: "If the general is not a lion, I can't say that we can make the decision."

Hearing this, Zhao Tong leaned back and said slowly: "You two can't decide. I not only want money, but also some other things."

"What else does the general want?" The two of them wondered.

Zhao Tong stretched out a palm, shook it and turned it over: "10 taels of silver cannot be missed at all. In addition... I will also need to practice the Acacia Arrow and Ecstasy Arrow in the air, as well as the skills to match this kind of martial arts." Mountains and seas guide the scriptures!”

"What!" The two of them exclaimed when they heard this: "General, this is absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "Can I ask before we talk? If Concubine Jing is reluctant to let go, then don't ask for Yuan Guo as a brother. Just find another way to exonerate the family."

"..." The two women were stunned when they heard this. They had never thought that the other party would actually propose such a condition, but where did the other party know that Concubine Jing was good at martial arts and mastered two unique archery skills?
"General, we can only wait until we go back to report this matter and let the imperial concubine decide." Qinghua said.

Zhao Tong nodded: "Then go back and report to Yuan Jing and ask her if she is willing."

"General, I'm leaving now. I hope General... during this period, don't beat or scold the brother who abuses the imperial concubine." Hong Yu said cautiously.

Zhao Tie glanced at Hongyu and snorted coldly: "This is also what Yuan Jing confessed, right? How could I, the general, do such a thing? Why should she tell her everything at once? I'll save you two hesitations. The general will be upset when he hears this, so after he has finished explaining, he will quickly go back and convey the general’s conditions!”

Listening to Zhao Tong's unkind tone, Qinghua said cautiously: "The imperial concubine... also confessed something. She wanted us to ask the general to meet the imperial concubine's brother..."

"See Yuan Guo?" Zhao Tong reached out and touched his chin: "Since I have set the conditions, it is not impossible to see him, but now I have no Yuan Guo here, only Liu Guo!"

"Liu Guo? What Liu Guo?" Hongyu asked in confusion.

"Haha..." Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Yuan Guo dislikes that the surname Yuan does not look like Han people, so he has already changed his surname to Liu!"

"What?" The two women were suddenly startled, and Qinghua said with a complicated expression: "Please, General, please let me meet the brother of the imperial concubine."

"Okay, let's meet." Zhao Tong smiled slightly: "But you two, don't talk nonsense, just watch. If you talk too much, don't blame me for not letting you leave!"

"General, we are just taking a look, no more words!" Qinghua said.

"Go and call Battalion Commander Yuan over. Tell him that I have something to ask." Zhao Tong winked at the side, and Bai Zhan immediately went out to find Yuan Guo.

After a while, Yuan Guo trotted in, bent down and said, "The general summoned the villain?" Originally, he had been calling Prince Zhao Tong these days, but just now Zhao Tong signaled to Bai Zhan, and Bai Zhan told him that there was an outsider here, so he called him "big prince." Just be a general.

At this time, Yuan Guo secretly looked to the side and saw two young and beautiful girls. He couldn't help but secretly curled his lips and thought they were outsiders. It turned out to be two women. They must have been caught by the evil king from the city for fun, but he didn't want to It was only after his true identity was revealed that he was called that.

Zhao Tong nodded above, Yuan Guo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "General, the people outside the city have left? Are they really here to redeem the villain again?"

Zhao Tong said: "It is true that I came to redeem you Yuan Guo again, but I was not satisfied with the price offered, so I drove them away."

Yuan Guo laughed dryly and said, "Don't pay a big price. If you pay a big price, you, the evil King of Song Dynasty, will never sell me. Once your home is sold back, you will die without a burial place." .

"General, villain..." Yuan Guo said with a flattering look on his face: "The villain has changed his surname to Liu. From now on, the general can just call villain Liu Guo."

"Oh? Hahaha!" Zhao Tong said with a smile: "This is because I forgot, the general should call him Battalion Commander Liu instead."

"The general is busy with everything, and noble people often forget." Yuan Guo hurriedly flattered.

"That's right!" Zhao Tong squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Guo: "Liu Yingzhang, where did your beard come from? Although I saw it before, I didn't have time to ask. I didn't remember it yesterday. Why did it grow overnight? So long?"

Yuan Guo originally had a standard fair face, with his chin and mouth clean shaven, but now he had an extra beard, a short mustache just on his lips.

"General, this is glued on by a villain. He cuts the black horse's hair short and sticks it to the skin one by one with gum. It can always stay in place for several days. Even if the Yuan family sees it, they may not be able to recognize it at a glance. ." Yuan Guo said proudly.

Zhao Tong nodded and turned his gaze to the two Hongyu girls from Tsinghua University. Both girls stared at Yuan Guo with ugly expressions. If looks could kill, Yuan Guo would have been chopped alive by the two girls at this moment.

"By the way, General, why are you calling me here..." Yuan Guo glanced at Bai Zhan next to him suspiciously. Bai Zhan had just come to him to ask questions about the prince, but after being here for a long time, Zhao Tong didn't ask anything.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said, "I really asked Battalion Commander Liu to come and ask you something."

Yuan Guo said: "General, please speak."

Zhao Tong said slowly: "I heard that your girl is very beautiful, so she was taken into the palace by Li Qianshun, but I have seen many beautiful women in the Song Dynasty, and I don't believe this rumor. Please tell me. , is Ming Jing'er really as beautiful as a fairy as the rumors say?"

Yuan Guo was stunned when he heard this, thinking why he was still talking about this?What does this black-hearted King Song want to do?Are you still thinking of going to Xingqing Mansion to steal your sister?

He rolled his eyes, feeling that he couldn't tell the truth. Ming Jing'er was indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but he would not tell the evil King Song, otherwise it would not be a good thing to really miss his sister. This evil king was ruthless and vicious, and in order to achieve his goal, He would do whatever he could, and if he did anything bad to his sister, he would really become a sinner in the family.

"General, my sister actually has an ordinary appearance. To put it mildly, she is just a vulgar girl. How can she be as beautiful as a fairy?" Yuan Guo shook his head, happened to see the two women next to him, and pointed out: "I don't have these two." What a pretty girl!"

"Oh?" Zhao Tong wondered: "Not as good as the two of them?"

"Far inferior to..." Yuan Guo said: "Whenever there are many women, it is difficult to find my sister if you throw her into it. The general can imagine how ordinary she is."

"Is it really that ordinary?" Zhao Tao asked: "Then why does Li Qianshun still need to be included in the palace? Are the concubines in the Xixia Palace inferior to ordinary people?"

"General, it's not that..." Yuan Guo was making up as he spoke, but although it was easy to tell lies, they had something to do with it. Now this kind of thing was a little difficult to round up. He had to bite the bullet and said: "General, there is something wrong." I don’t know, Li Qianshun is timid and always afraid of assassins. The villain’s sister has martial arts skills, and my Yuan family is close to the royal family, so I chose him to enter the palace. Although the villain’s sister has an ordinary appearance, she can protect Li Qianshun. , that’s why he is favored.”

"That's it!" Zhao Tong nodded and said: "Last time you explained that Jing'er practiced archery and could shoot arrows without using a bowstring. What is it called volleying through the air? Based on this, I thought that not only does she have an ordinary appearance, but she also has an ordinary appearance. You are also tall and strong, right? If you practice archery all year round, your arms should be as thick as a small tree, right?"

"Ah?" Yuan Guo was stunned for a moment, then said: "The general is right, my sister's arms are like a small tree, her waist is as thick as a bucket!"

Zhao Tong laughed loudly: "It's actually like this. Thinking about it like this must be bad for your temper?"

"That's right, he's as bad-tempered as a drunkard, and he gets angry when he gets angry!"

"Then the voice must be ugly too?"

"Not bad, not bad, just like the crow on the old tree outside."

"Isn't it good at playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine?"

"Hey, how can a man and a woman know these elegant things? In addition to wielding a knife and a gun, she doesn't even know how to be a female celebrity!"

Zhao Tong stretched out his hand and patted the table: "It seems that even if I can protect Li Qianshun, I'm afraid Li Qianshun's love is just an act. Who doesn't love beautiful women in the world, and Li Qianshun is no exception!"

"It's definitely an act. Otherwise, after a few years in the palace, why hasn't she even given birth to a son and a half? It must be that Li Qianshun doesn't want to see her in private!"

"You!" At this time, the two women couldn't stand listening. Qinghua said angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Yuan Guo glanced at Tsinghua University and thought it was none of your business, little Makui. Makui means woman in Xixia language.

When he was unhappy, he wanted to retort, but Zhao Tong waved his hand: "Liu Battalion Commander, please step aside first. I'm a little tired."

Yuan Guo saluted hurriedly, then turned around and walked out the door, not forgetting to give Qinghua a hard look.

After Yuan Guo left the house, Zhao Tong looked at the two women with a smile and said, "Now that we have met, go back and report to Yuan Jing. If you don't redeem his brother, I will continue to promote him. When the time comes, When the news reaches the Xixia court, neither the Yuan family nor Concubine Jing will be a good person!"

The expressions between the two girls became increasingly ugly, and Hongyu said, "We are leaving now, and please ask the general to order me and my senior sister to leave the city."

Zhao Tong nodded and said to the two brothers from the Bai family next to him: "Send the two girls out, don't be negligent."

Watching the two women go out and leave, Zhao Tong slowly stood up from behind the case, and he suddenly thought of something.

When Japanese Master Jintai told him the secrets of Zizimen, Wu Feiyun, who had mentioned the four direct disciples, was stimulated and left Tianshan.

And this Wu Feiyun, like Li Shuangmei Tianluzi, did not leave empty-handed, but also brought with him a lot of boxing skills, one of which was extremely powerful and fierce, called the Qingqing Archery Technique.

I wonder if there is any relationship between this sad arrow technique, the lovesickness arrow in the air, and the ecstasy arrow in the air... (End of this chapter)
