The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 868 850 Seven: The two lead the team to Guangzhou

Tie Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Huang, look, this kid is quite promising, and he has to be polite at such a young age!"

After hearing this, Huang Zhifu quickly said: "Brother, whether this child is good or not depends on you as an uncle in the future!
If you cultivate them seriously, they may be really promising in the future!

You said, just relying on my elder brother and my ability, what can you say the two brothers can do! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The emperor has carried out major reforms in the court now!
In the future, talents will be selected through imperial examinations. As long as you study hard, it may not take much effort to get a half-time official in the future!
Of course, if you don't have knowledge and skills, then it's another matter! "

"Tianba! Tianyu! Did you two hear what your uncle said just now!
In the future, the imperial court will take the imperial examination to select scholars. As long as you study hard, you may become an official in the future!

I said that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.This statement is not false at all! "

"Daddy, we heard clearly what my uncle said just now, don't worry! We must study hard and become useful talents for the country in the future!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine! My two nephews, when you come to Beijing to take the exam, you can live in my house!

I can't help you with other things, but I can still provide you with a small place to eat and sleep. "

"Thank you uncle for your kindness. In a few years, my brother and I will go there!"

That Huang Zhifu picked up the wine jar beside the table, filled Duan Wuji and Tieniu with wine, and then filled his own wine bowl.

"Everyone, please fill up your wine bowls. The imperial envoy will leave tomorrow. This banquet tonight is a practice wine for the two imperial envoys.

Let's all raise our wine bowls and send off the two adults! "

When all the officials heard Huang Zhifu's words, they immediately understood!
Everyone filled up the wine one after another and raised the wine bowl together.

"You two imperial envoys, I heard that you are leaving tomorrow, we are somewhat reluctant!

However, what can be done about this!

The two imperial envoys, I wish you a happy journey!Good luck!

Imperial envoy, let's hold the wine bowl together, let's drink this bowl of wine together! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu also raised their wine bowls.

"Then thank you all, colleagues, you have to work hard, and you must manage our world well!

To be honest, our place is the rear of our Huaxia clan. Only when our administration is stable can the foundation of our country be considered stable! "

"Your Imperial Envoy, please rest assured, we will definitely work hard to manage this place well, so that it will last long and peaceful, and the imperial court will not worry about our place!"

"Well! That's good! Since you said so, then I can rest assured!

Dear colleagues, if you have a chance, let's work together again if you have the chance!
Ladies and gentlemen, no one is polite today, let's all eat and drink well! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji put down the wine bowl, grabbed the chopsticks and started eating!

Everyone was eating and drinking, the time was not too long, and the table was a mess!

After Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were full, they put down their chopsticks casually.

"Colleagues, eat slowly, we have to hurry tomorrow, we won't be with you, we have to go back early to rest!

Dear colleagues, let's see you tomorrow morning! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu went back to the room.

The next morning, the two of them got up early, packed up their things, found that there was nothing left, and then walked out of the yard.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, the prefect Huang walked in.

"You two virtuous brothers, go eat first!
For the fruits left in the house, I asked the servants to pack bags for you, and you can take them away in a while. There are some fruits here, which can also quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger! "

The two laughed.

"Then thank you, big brother, then let's go to eat first, and see you later!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them rushed straight to the dining room. After eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast in a hurry, the two of them ran straight to the outside of the yamen.

The two walked out of the gate of the yamen and saw that the magistrate Huang led his two sons and some important officials were waiting for them at the gate with their horses, and their own horses were also brought out.

The two people came to their horses and got on their horses. Surrounded by these officials, the two people ran straight to the south gate.

After leaving the city, the two of them waited as soon as they saw their guards in front of them!
Duan Wuji reined in the horse!

"Brother Huang, Tianba, Tianyu, colleagues, thank you for sending me out of the city, I think you can send them here!
Everyone, let's see you again! "

The Huang magistrate hurriedly said: "Tianyu, Tianba, why don't you send your uncle's fruit to them!"

Huang Tianyu and Huang Tianba promised to lead a few people to send the fruits over.

Soldiers received the fruit and went back.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the troops all the way to the southwest, heading straight for the Guangdong and Guangxi regions.

Along the way, the road is rough and the weather is very hot, so people don't go very fast.

Half a month later, Duan Wuji and the others finally arrived at Guangzhou City.

The prefect of Guangzhou led the officials in the mansion to pick him up from the city.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu jumped out of their horses as soon as they saw those officers coming out of the city.

Those officials knelt down and were about to salute, Duan Wuji and the others stopped them long ago.

"Everyone don't need to be too polite, get up quickly! It's the first time we meet, everyone don't need to be too polite!"

"Master Imperial Envoy, let's go, then follow me into the city!"

Duan Wuji and Tieniu got on their horses, they led the troops and ran straight towards the city of Guangzhou.

Guangzhou City is a very prosperous and large city in the south. The city is tall and very huge. The length and width of this city are no less than ten miles!

I saw that the city gate was wide open, and there were all kinds of chariots and horses coming in and out, and there were all kinds of people!

People riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, pushing carts, carrying burdens, selling grain, and selling vegetables, people come and go, there is an endless stream!

The prosperity of Guangzhou City is far stronger than other cities!Although it can't be described as busy traffic, it's not much worse!

During the turmoil in the Sui Dynasty, these places were basically not affected by any wave, so this place still looks prosperous!

While walking in, Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother Tieniu, look at this Guangzhou city, how big a city it is!

This degree of prosperity is by no means inferior to our Taiyuan Mansion!

When we come to this place, we must stay for a while longer! "

"Well, although it's already the end of summer, there are still several months before the end of the year. If we don't stop and go, it won't take long before we can return to the capital.

It's not good to go back too soon, it's still early anyway, we go back too soon, our second brother should be upset, so let's hang out here for a while and talk about it! "

The two men rode forward while talking. After entering the city, the prefect of Guangzhou ordered people to settle down the soldiers led by Duan Wuji and the others, and then led Duan Wuji and Tieniu straight to the place. The magistrate's yamen came rushing.

When they arrived at the gate of the magistrate's yamen, the people got off their horses, and a dozen yamen servants ran over and took away their horses.

The Guangzhou prefect said with a smile on his face: "You two imperial envoys, let's go, follow me into the government office.

You must have worked hard enough on this journey, I will serve you wine to wash away the dust in a while. "

Duan Wuji looked up, this Guangzhou magistrate's yamen is really magnificent!

This place is relatively rich, so it is very different from those poor places!

I saw that the tiled houses of the blue bricks were very magnificent row by row.

The two tall bluestone lions in front of the door are as tall as one person, which looks mighty and majestic!

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed these officials into the magistrate's yamen, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu sat in the middle, and the other officials returned to their seats one by one according to the size of their official positions.

Duan Wuji looked at these officials and said: "Everyone, our two brothers have come to our Guangdong and Guangxi regions to patrol the world!
Lord Prefect, you will issue an official document in my name tomorrow, let the prefects from other places come over, and just say that I have something to ask them, did you hear clearly? "

The prefect of Guangzhou heard this and stood up quickly.

"Master Imperial Envoy, I'll just obey my orders, don't worry, I'll send this official document by tomorrow morning.

I took six hundred miles to send them on a fast horse, and they all came in less than ten and a half months. "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well, that's good! We've driven for such a long time, and we're already tired. I think we'll stop here today. Let's end the meeting!

Ladies and gentlemen, if you have anything to do, you must report to me immediately, did you hear me clearly? "

"Master Imperial Envoy, we all understand, we just follow orders."

The Guangzhou prefect quickly said: "My lord imperial envoy, since you have arrived in my Guangzhou mansion, let the lower officials serve you a drink to welcome you.

This is the distance to welcome the business trip, and it has been this gauge in all dynasties!

Come on, arrange a banquet immediately, we people want to welcome the imperial envoy to my Guangzhou mansion. "

Following the shout of the Guangzhou prefect, the guards waiting outside the door stepped in. There were more than ten of them!

These servants immediately began to move the tables and chairs and got busy. The time was not long, and the tables, chairs and benches were packed.

Then, the guards brought in dozens of large food boxes, and then began to serve delicious food one by one.

The time is not too long, and the wine and food on the table are full of five tables!

The food in Guangzhou is the most particular, it is really exquisite, and every food is so different from the northern food!

Most of the dishes on this table have never been seen by Duan Wuji before!

The scent of a stock hits the nose straight!

Duan Wuji and the others also know that every time they go to a place, the officials in that place will serve Fengjiu. This has long been a habit for them.

Therefore, the two of them were not polite, and they sat down in the most honorable position of the table.

Duan Wuji greeted the officials at all levels and said: "My colleagues, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and get back to your table!

If everyone doesn't return to the table, the banquet will never be held at any time! "

After Duan Wuji said so, those officials dared to come over!Everyone sat down properly, and the prefect of Guangzhou poured wine for Duan Wuji and the others.

"My colleagues, the imperial envoy has arrived at our Guangzhou mansion today, and I feel very honored for the two imperial envoys to visit our Guangzhou mansion!

Throughout the dynasties, very few imperial envoys have visited our place!

Ladies and gentlemen, you say this is a great honor for us Guangzhou people!

Colleagues, let's hold up the wine bowl, and let's respect this bowl of wine together! "

When the officials heard this, they stood up one after another, each raised their wine bowls, and everyone shouted in unison: "My lord, you have come from a long way, we welcome you.

Imperial Envoy, please respect your bowl of Jiefeng bar! "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu also stood up quickly when they saw it.

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness, the arrival of our buddies has caused you more trouble!

Everyone pick up the wine bowl, let's finish this bowl of wine!

Some of us here have a relatively small capacity for alcohol, so after we finish this bowl of wine, let's drink for ourselves when we get down!

Drink what you can, drink more if you don't want to drink.We can't force this thing!

Let's do it first!Then our buddies will do it first. "

Duan Wuji and Tieniu raised their necks and drank the bowl of wine.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu spread out the empty bowl, then sat down gently.

The two picked up their chopsticks and started eating immediately.

Who would dare to be too presumptuous to eat with the imperial envoy?Everyone stopped drinking when they saw the imperial envoy drank a bowl of wine, and many people also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to drink.

Everyone knows that if you drink too much, it will be embarrassing after all. Which of these officials would like to throw this person away!

After all, it is the first time for everyone to meet, and everyone wants to make a good impression on the imperial envoy!

Duan Wuji and Tieniu didn't care about these things, they just kept eating like crazy!

The food on the table dwindled rapidly, and they didn't put down their chopsticks until they had almost eaten the food on the table.

The officials were all taken aback when they saw it!Xin said: How can these two people eat so much!Good guy, these two people ate something for six or seven people, which is a big enough meal!
After eating their fill, the two of them stood up.

"My lords, eat slowly! We are both tired today, so we will go to rest first."

When the prefect of Guangzhou heard that the two of them were going to rest, he stood up quickly.

"You two imperial envoys, since you want to rest, then come with me, I have already arranged for you the place where you rest.

Two adults, you come with me! "

The prefect of Guangzhou led the way, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed, and the three of them walked straight to the back hall.
