The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Xiao Temo shook his cheeks and laughed for a long time, suddenly, like a crowing rooster whose neck was chopped off suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly, his face turned cold in an instant, and he shouted: "Just now you said that I am a warrior of Daliao Do you know some tricks in the Jianghu?"

Su Jin said: "It is my subordinates who are ignorant and offended the warriors of your country."

"It doesn't matter, it's all on your account. Your words have brought great humiliation to us Daliao warriors. You have to apologize."

Su Jin smiled and said, "How about an apology?"

Xiao Temo thought for a while while twisting his messy yellow beard: "In this way, you little baby is an official, and you probably don't have much salary, so you set up a few tables of banquets to treat guests as an apology. After the banquet, each of my warriors will offer you two Just forget about the money for tea and water. It’s only a few hundred dollars, so it’s cheap for you.”

Su Jin couldn't help laughing, this guy was talking to himself, with a defiant attitude, as if it was only natural to make an apology, and he took advantage of himself, I don't know if all Liao people are like this, or Xiao Temo himself Just a fool.

Fu Bi knew that Su Jin would never pay a penny, let alone an apology; Xiao Temo was aggressive and aggressive, but Fu Bi was not worried about Su Jin at all, on the contrary, he was on behalf of Xiao Temo Secretly worrying, how can this young master be offended casually, just say a few words, if it is serious, something may happen.

Fu Bi hurried forward to be the peacemaker again, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xiao, how about we just let some small things go? It was originally a quarrel between the followers, so there is no need to hurt the peace; in this way, the envoy is the host, and today I am in charge of it." There is a banquet on Fanlou, the top restaurant in Liang, and the warriors of your country can also go, how about not getting drunk?"

Xiao Temo stared at Fu Bi and said, "Are you treating me?"

Fu Bi said, "Exactly."

Xiao Temo said: "Then can this little baby apologize?"

Fu Bi frowned and said, "Deputy Envoy Su's apology will be omitted, and it's nothing serious."

Xiao Temo shook his head and said: "That won't work, the most important thing in my Khitan man's life is reputation, whoever wants to insult our reputation, I will get back to this place after I lose my head; it is already enough to ask this little boy to make an apology It’s an extra saving of face, it’s your business to have a banquet, and the little one cannot avoid it.”

Fu Bi said in displeasure: "Master Xiao, we are all following the emperor's order to resolve the disputes between the two countries. Your honor is always entangled in these trivial matters, so let's not talk about it."

Xiao Temo said angrily: "I've said it all, this is not a trivial matter. Only after this matter is resolved, can we formally discuss it, otherwise we won't talk about it."

Fu Bi spread his hand towards Su Jin, quite helpless, Su Jin smiled brightly, gave Fu Bi a comforting look, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, what if I don't apologize? What can you do? "

Xiao Temo stared and shouted: "What? How dare you! You must have angered my Daliao warriors. Don't think that you Song State is on guard. I Daliao can't do anything to you. You openly insult us. This battle cannot be won. You have to fight, and you have to fight even more if you win.”

Su Jin waved his hands and said: "Master Xiao is also excited. It was a matter of quarrel, but you forced it to be raised to the height of a military affairs. Anyway, I have a bit of a stubborn temper, so I talked to you."

Xiao Temo snorted, and proudly blocked the door with his hands behind his back, without even looking at Su Jin.

Su Jin pointed to dozens of soldiers from the Liao Kingdom inside and outside the gate and said: "Master Xiao kept saying that this envoy underestimated your warriors from the Liao Kingdom..."

"It's not underestimation, it's an insult, a complete insult!" Xiao Temo interrupted.

Su Jin raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "Okay, it's up to you, is it an insult?"

"That's the way it is, what do you mean by me?"

Su Jin was speechless and didn't want to entangle with him any longer, and continued: "If it's really a warrior, then it's considered an insult, but if it's all pustules, it's not an insult."

Xiao Temo looked at Su Jin sharply and said: "It seems that Xiaowa doubts the bravery of my Khitan boy. In this way, I don't want to brag. Let's draw people from the entourage to compete a few times. If it is my man If you lose, this matter will not be pursued anymore. If my people win, you will not only apologize and offer compensation money, but also stand on the street and shout three times: The warriors of Daliao are invincible! How about it? Don’t you dare? dare?"

Just as Su Jin was about to speak, Fu Bi hurriedly gave Su Jin a wink to signal that Su Jin would never agree. If he really lost, it would be fine to pay a gift or money. If he yelled these words three times on the street, Su Jin would be finished. Not to mention, even the courtiers and the common people drowned Su Jin with their saliva.

Su Jin naturally understands this truth, but he just wants to frustrate this idiot Xiao Temo. How can he back down when he can't wait for this opportunity?If you admit it, you won't let this idiot laugh at you to death, and this idiot seems to have no quality, and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all. He must go left and right, and don't step himself into the mud Never give up.

"Okay! Since Chief Envoy Xiao proposed this method, this envoy has to give you face, and we don't take winning or losing too seriously, just take it as a joke."

"No, we must do what we agreed. Those who lose must shout that the warriors of Daliao are invincible."

"Bah, you call this sentence even if you lose. Wouldn't it be cheaper for you?"

"We'll let it go if we lose."

"Bah! It's easy for you to think. If we win, it will prove that your subordinates are not warriors but cowards. They need to stand in my Dasong market and shout three times: Liao warriors are all cowards!"

"Joke, how could we lose?" Xiao Temo rolled his eyes and said.

"Unfortunate weather, drinking cold water will make your teeth clogged, maybe you will be unlucky today."

"You are so unlucky. This envoy burned incense and worshiped Buddha early this morning. With the blessing of the Buddha, he will surely defeat you."

Su Jin smiled and said: "We don't rely on the help of the Buddha, we rely on ourselves."

Xiao Temo laughed loudly and said: "It's interesting, the little baby has some courage. I hope you won't be so scared that you pee your pants after seeing the methods of my Daliao warriors."

All the Liao people laughed wildly, as if they were winning.

Su Jin scolded with a smile: "The winner is the one who laughs last, I hope you can laugh again later."

Xiao Temo waved his hand and said: "The yard is not small, just suitable for use; come, bring out the tables, chairs and benches, and set up the place for a fight."

The crowd rushed in, and the followers of the Liao envoy moved out the tables and chairs, and set up four tables, one south, one north. Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu sat on the north side, Su Jin and Fu Bi sat on the south side, and the soldiers gathered around The adults stood behind each other, leaving a large green brick space with a radius of seven to eight feet in the middle.

Fu Bi's face turned pale, and he licked his lips and came closer and asked, "My dear brother, are you really sure? This is no joke."

Su Jin smiled and said: "No one is fully sure, but today we can't show weakness, step back step by step, we can only fight."

Fu Bi said worriedly: "Hey, that's the only way to go. In case of losing, brother Yu will go to the street and shout three times for you."

Su Jin looked at Fu Bi movedly and smiled, "Don't be so pessimistic. Just say this before you fight. Isn't this making others want to destroy your prestige? As the chief ambassador, you should cheer up your brothers."

Fu Bi collected himself and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Temo sat across from each other, looking at Su Jin and Fu Bi with a smile. Fu Bi's frowning face just now was in his eyes. Originally, he was still a little bit worried. Seeing Fu Bi's expression , I feel better than eating a weight.

"Did you see Deputy Envoy Liu? Look at the rich envoy, his face turned pale; or does he know how powerful it is? This little baby, Deputy Envoy Su, doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He will cry later."

Liu Liufu nodded repeatedly, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Xiao has a good plan. He can not only kill their prestige, but also promote my Daliao bravery. Kill two birds with one stone; I am looking forward to this deputy envoy Su standing on the street. Let me praise loudly the scene of my Daliao warriors being unparalleled in the world."

Xiao Temo laughed loudly and said, "Wait and see the good show."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and shouted towards Su Jin: "Little baby, how do we compare? Is it a wheel fight, or a scuffle, or alone?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "Since we want to compare, let's do it fairly and kindly. First of all, we don't use weapons. Swords and guns don't have eyes. If we really hurt someone, it will be difficult to deal with."

Xiao Temo laughed and said: "For you to know, my Daliao scimitar is not comparable to your scrap metal. If you really want to use a weapon, it seems that we are bullying people."

Liu Liufu laughed softly at the side: "Do we Daliao warriors still use weapons to hurt people? This kid thought he was taking advantage."

Su Jin said, "Melee battles are not enough, and it seems unfair. In this way, wouldn't it be better for us to choose a few people and fight one-on-one fairly and reasonably?"

Xiao Temo smiled and said: "That's fine, then each side will have ten people, catch each other and fight, whoever wins the most rounds will be considered the winner."

Su Jin originally wanted to say five people from each faction, but here the dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and four people, randomly pick out people, and if they can win three games, they will win in the total number of rounds.

"Ten rounds are too many, how about five rounds?" Su Jin laughed.

"Five rounds are too few, and it's time to fart. Besides, the number of rounds is too few. How can it appear that all the warriors of Daliao are extraordinary? Ten rounds, could it be that you can't get ten people who can fight?" ?” Xiao Temo will also use aggressive methods, and sarcasm is the most effective in this occasion.

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "Forget it, ten rounds will be ten rounds." After saying that, he turned to Zhao Hu and said, "Hurry up and ride to Yan's mansion, and call the Niu Daniu Er who is next to Miss Yan. I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhao Hu hurriedly agreed, twisted his buttocks and ran out, Liu Liufu got up quickly and shouted: "Deputy Envoy Su, it's not okay to call for someone temporarily, we agreed that it's a fight between the entourage and soldiers, can you ask someone to help you? I have to send people back to Daliao to ask masters to help me. If I am afraid, I will admit defeat and save myself embarrassment."

Xiao Temo also straightened his voice and said: "You can't call anyone, it's agreed that the headquarters will select ten people from the personal guards, the little baby is not authentic."

Su Jin had no choice but to recall Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu stared and scolded: "Fuck your mother, you are not authentic, grandpa just wants to find a place to pee."
