Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 678: Too Much [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 37k]

"The map they copied was in the leather tube on the back of the Goryeo guard?" Xu Zaijing asked, looking at the leather tube that was as long as a sword and as thick as an adult's calf.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded repeatedly and said, "Replying to Wulang, when I was with them in Zichuan County, I saw them open the leather tube, and there were vaguely some papers inside."

Xu Zaijing glanced at the official from the Ministry of Rites and continued to ask, "Did the envoys from Baigao, Northern Liao, and Jin ask for maps when they came to Beijing?"

The official from the Ministry of Rites pulled the reins and pulled the horse to the right track. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I remember that Baigao and Beiliao asked for maps before, but they were all maps near the border between the two countries. They never asked for maps along the way to Beijing."

"The Jin Kingdom never made such a request from the beginning to the end."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing nodded, looked at the people in front of him who were chatting happily, and fell into deep thought.

The two stopped talking. The surroundings were filled with the sounds of horse hooves, wheels, shouts from roadside shops, and voices.

Amid the noise, Xu Zaijing looked back and said, "Qingyun."

"Sir?"

"Take my letter and go to the Imperial City Office immediately and tell them that the Goguryeo envoys secretly obtained the maps along the way." Xu Zaijing said softly.

"Yes, sir." Qingyun bowed and replied in a low voice.

Then Qingyun turned his horse around and left the team.

The official from the Ministry of Rites at the side looked embarrassed and whispered, "Wu Lang, we have disturbed the Imperial City Department today. Isn't this bad for the diplomatic relations between the two countries?"

Xu Zaijing looked at the people in front of him and said, "Why do you think the envoy from Goguryeo is trying to get the map at this time?"

"What I just said, if Bai Gao is adjacent to them, maybe they can destroy Bai Gao too."

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked up at Xu Zaijing and said, "Goguryeo is located in a remote area. It is the eastern tribe of our dynasty. It is just arrogant."

Before Xu Zaijing could say anything, the official from the Ministry of Rites suddenly realized something and said, "No wonder Wulang just said they were 'arrogant'."

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head, then rode his horse onto the bridge over the canal.

After walking for a while,

After passing through the city gate and leaving the city,

The road to the seed farm has become much wider.

The group changed from riding two people abreast to riding in a row of four. The team became much shorter and the speed of travel gradually increased.

It seemed that the laughter of the Li brothers and others in front of the Tongwenguan just now made the young people in the Goguryeo delegation feel a little unhappy.

At some point on the road, the sons of powerful officials of Goguryeo began to compete secretly with the Li brothers and others.

The two sons of Goguryeo's powerful officials rode side by side on horses, occasionally exchanging a few words in Goguryeo, then glancing up and down at the Li brothers and others next to them, and then laughing wantonly.

Even if you don't understand Goguryeo, you can tell that these people are not saying anything good.

Lian Nu Baihuo, who was walking side by side with Zhua Jue Zhongding, was about to do the same when he saw Zhua Jue Zhongding next to him shaking his head at him.

"Be patient." Zhua Jue Zhongding said in Baigao dialect.

Before this, Xu Zaijing had stayed with the Li brothers for a long time and could understand a lot of Baigao dialect.

Hearing Zhajue Zhongding's words, Xu Zaijing raised his eyebrows.

Xu Zaijing thought nothing would happen, but in his sight, the son of the powerful official of Goguryeo turned his head to look at Zhajue Zhongding and said in the language of the Great Zhou: "My dear brother, what did you say in front of the Tongwenguan just now?"

Zhua Jue Zhongding paused for a moment, glanced at Lian Nu Bai Huo beside him, his expression a little hesitant, but he finally forced a smile and said, "Nothing."

Looking at the scene ahead, Xu Zaijing, who had come to watch the fun, turned his head and whispered to the official from the Ministry of Rites, "Is there any scandal in the Goguryeo court?"

"Wulang, are you talking about scandal?" The official from the Ministry of Rites shook his head with a meaningful expression.

"Huh? What? No?" Xu Zaijing asked with a frown.

The official from the Ministry of Rites looked ahead and whispered, "Wu Lang, everyone in the Ministry of Rites knows that the Goguryeo royal family is against the will of heaven and is immoral. They are worse than beasts."

Xu Zaijing was very surprised when he heard this: "Ah? This, this description is too much."

The official from the Ministry of Rites shook his head. "That's not an exaggeration at all! Wulang, the Goguryeo royal family had intermarriages between brothers and sisters, and intermarriages within the clan were everywhere. The word 'scandal' is simply glorifying them. Sometimes I hate myself for being at a loss for words."

While the two were talking, the son of the powerful official of Goguryeo continued, "Brother, I don't mean anything else! When I was in China, I heard from a merchant from Northern Liao that the emperor of Baigao was stabbed to death by the crown prince because he loved the crown princess!"

"Such a ridiculous rumor can't be true, right?"

Hearing this,

Zhuajue Zhongding and Liannu Baihuo narrowed their eyes slightly.

In front of the two of them, Li Taotie's gloved hands holding the reins were tightening, and the thin threads sewing the gloves had already broken.

Qi Heng and Gao Lin, who were riding in front, also heard the conversation, but when they saw that the Li brothers did not react, they turned around and continued to talk to the Goguryeo envoys.

The official from the Ministry of Rites next to him shook his head and said to Xu Zaijing: "Wulang, this is a matter concerning two countries."

"Tsk!" Xu Zaijing sneered.

The word "chi" also has a bit of the "cao" tone.

Xu Zaijing shouted, "Hey, those people from Goguryeo in front, are you all descendants of the powerful officials of the Cui family, the Liu family, etc.?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, the people in front turned around and looked. The people from Goguryeo smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, our fathers were high officials in one of the six ministries in Goguryeo."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Then, will your Goguryeo royal family grant marriage to a royal lady to a family like yours?"

Lian Nu in front of him showed his emotions on his face. He looked at Xu Zaijing with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Xu Zaijing asked this.

When he looked away from Xu Zaijing's face and saw the wonderful expressions on the faces of the people in Goguryeo, Lian Nu Baihuo said in the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty: "Zhongding, what did Wulang say? Look at their expressions."

Zhuajue Zhongding smiled and shook his head, "I don't know."

The Li brothers in front of them loosened their grip on the reins, looked at each other and smiled.

Lian Nu Baihuo did not let them go, and turned back to look at Xu Zaijing: "Wulang, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "It's nothing special. I just asked casually because I was in a good mood."

"You don't mind, do you?" Xu Zaijing asked with a smile.

"No, no." The son of a powerful official of Goguryeo replied with a fake smile.

"That's good! I sincerely hope that your families can be like the Goguryeo royal family." Xu Zaijing continued.

After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, he turned his horse around and left the team, speeding up to the side and rushing to the front of the team.

Looking at Gao Lin, he bowed and smiled, "Brother Lin, I will take some people to the breeding garden in advance to see if there is anything wrong."

Qi Heng, who was riding side by side with Gao Lin, was about to speak, but Gao Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "Wulang, just go by yourself."

The son of Cao's family, Marquis of Tuoxi, also had a smile on his face: "Wulang, why bother asking Brother Lin about this? Just go directly."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, turned around and pointed a few times with his whip, and said, "You four and you two, follow."

"Yes!"

The Li brothers, Zhuaijue Zhongding, Liannu Baihuo and Alan all rode out on their horses.

Subsequently,

A group of seven people,
Xu Zaijing was in the front, with three people on each side. They formed a small spearhead formation as they marched, then whipped their horses and galloped towards the breeding garden.

The route the seven people ran in was not a straight line, but swayed left and right from time to time with Xu Zaijing's movements.

The six people behind seemed to be in tune with Xu Zaijing's thoughts, and the seven people on horseback moved as if they were one person.

Gao Lin, Qi Heng and the Goguryeo envoys could only exclaim in amazement and laugh when they saw this scene.

However, the Goguryeo guards following behind the crowd had some fear in their eyes.

Listening to the whispers of the Goguryeo guards nearby, the official from the Ministry of Rites nodded as if he understood, and thought to himself: Are they so powerful?

Imperial City Prison,
There was a cell that was brighter, cleaner, dryer and warmer than the other cells.

Outside the cell, Zhao Meifeng sat behind a table facing the cell. Beside him, his subordinate Gao Yunqing leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Hiss! Did Qingyun say that?" Zhao Meifeng frowned.

Gao Yunqing stood up and nodded, "Yes, it's a sign."

Zhao Meifeng pondered for a moment, looked at the old man in the cell and said, "Master Jia, when you were in the Northern Liao garrison, did you ever deal with Goguryeo?"

The old man sitting on the bed in the cell raised his head, looked at Zhao Meifeng, nodded and said: "Of course we have dealt with each other, but..."

Looking at the old man who was keeping the secret, Zhao Meifeng said calmly, "Tomorrow, when the young master goes out for a walk, you can go to the window behind to see your son."

The old man in the cell shook his head: "No, this is not enough."

Zhao Meifeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, let me add another piece of good news."

"What good news?" asked the old man.

Zhao Meifeng tapped his fingers on the table and said, "What I can guarantee is that this good news will definitely make you, Lord Jia, very happy."

The old man thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Master Zhao always keeps his word! Then I will tell you that the Northern Liao garrison has captured a spy from Goguryeo, but he was not from Goguryeo."

The old man smiled and said, "It's the Black Water Jurchen."

Looking at Zhao Meifeng's fingers moving outside the cell, the old man laughed happily and said, "How is it? Is it beyond the expectations of Master Zhao?"

After waiting for a moment for Zhao Meifeng to digest the news, the old man said calmly: "The good news that makes me so happy, can you tell me, Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Meifeng stood up, said nothing, and walked out.

The old man in the cell followed Zhao Meifeng for a few steps and said, "Mr. Zhao, you tell me something!"

After just a few steps, the old man reached the edge of the cell's iron bars and could no longer move. He could only look at Zhao Meifeng.

When Zhao Meifeng was about to disappear in the darkness, a voice came: "You will know tomorrow."

"You!" The old man stood on tiptoe angrily and shouted helplessly.

After visiting the breeding garden,
Xu Zaijing and others continued to accompany the Goguryeo envoys back to the city.

As the group walked along the canal in the city toward Panlou Main Street, they saw several young noblemen of similar age to Xu Zaijing riding towards them on horseback.

As they walked over, these young men still had smiles on their faces and greeted the Goguryeo envoys.

However, when they saw Xu Zaijing in the crowd, the smiles on their faces froze.

The reason is that these people are all descendants of the Anguo Duke Tan family. They were humiliated by Xu Zaijing and others when they fought against the Jin warriors at Madam Wu's polo field.

"Xu Wu, why are you here? Accompanying the Goguryeo envoys, is there anything wrong?" The eldest grandson of the Tan family looked at Xu Zaijing and asked.

Qi Heng bowed and smiled, "Brother Tan, I invited Brother Jing here."

The eldest grandson of the Tan family shook his head and said, "Tsk, Qi Heng, you really have no vision to invite such a person."

Qi Heng frowned and was about to speak, but Xu Zaijing smiled and asked sincerely, "Tan Da, are the injuries from the beating by the Jin warriors healed?"

Hearing this, the eldest grandson of the Tan family couldn't help but pat his waist.

Before, on the polo field, he was lifted into the air by the Jin warriors and then slammed heavily onto the hard ground!
Not only the internal organs are shaken, but even the waist is damaged. When the couple is having sex, the injured waist will become extremely painful after moving a few times.

When they heard the words "Jin warriors, beaten severely", many people in the Goguryeo delegation looked at the Tan family with more doubts in their eyes.

The Goguryeo envoy looked at the son of the Tan family and said, "Brother Tan, when I came to Beijing, I had a very pleasant conversation with your father, and I have a question for you."

"My father has reminded me of this! If you have anything you want to ask, just ask directly. I will tell you everything I know!" Tan Da bowed and said with a smile.

"Okay, if I'm being rude, please forgive me, Brother Tan. The question is, why were you beaten by the Jin warriors?"

Tan Da: “Uh, this.”

Qi Heng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Tan, it seems to be because you kicked the Jin warrior?"

The Goguryeo envoy looked at Qi Heng and asked in confusion: "How could he be...

Qi Heng ignored Tan Da's ugly expression and said, "This guy kicked his opponent in the crotch during a fair competition. I heard that he almost lost his offspring."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Gao Lin said quickly, "That's all in the past. Let's go to Pan's building."

"Yes, yes, yes!" everyone responded.

The young man from the Tan family also showed an ugly smile, extended his hand to invite, and rode forward on his horse.

Pan Lou,

Because of the advance news received from the Ministry of Rites, there were not many guests in Panlou Building at noon.

Soon, everyone took their seats in the lobby on the first floor and the private rooms on the second and third floors according to their status and official positions.

Xu Zaijing naturally followed Gao Lin to the private room on the third floor.

The accompanying guards were either sitting or standing in the corridor outside the private room.

Qingyun, Alan, Buwei and others who had returned with the news sat at the table in the corridor and waved to the Goguryeo guards standing at the door of the private room with leather tubes on their backs.

Qingyun stood up and said, "Brother, the nobles are all inside, just come and sit down!"

The guard obviously understood Da Zhou's words and shook his head at Qingyun.

"Okay, then you continue standing."

Having said that, Qingyun sat back on the stool and started talking to others.

Seeing this scene, the close followers of the Tan family and the Goguryeo guards said similar words.

The guard still shook his head and refused.

At this time, Min Ge'er, a servant from Pan Lou, came over with a tray of dishes.

After turning around and looking at Qingyun, he smiled and nodded: "Manager Yin, you come too!"

"Clang!"

Min Ge'er, who was busy talking, bumped into the Goguryeo guards, and the dishes fell to the ground.

"You little beast, how do you walk?!" Upon seeing this, the close followers of the Tan family immediately started cursing.

Seeing this, Qingyun and Alan were delighted and walked towards the Goguryeo guards, bowing and apologetically saying, "Brother, we know the guy in this building. If your clothes are dirty, we will pay for the change of clothes."

While they were talking, the close followers of the Tan family had already walked over from the other side.

"This is an envoy from Goguryeo! You must give an explanation. Just compensate for the clothes? Can you just let it go like that?" Tan's personal attendant questioned.

Qingyun glared and pulled the dirty clothes of the Goguryeo guard, saying, "What's the matter? Look at the material of this clothes? Can't I pay for it with one set?"

"Compensation? You should kneel down and apologize to the Goguryeo envoy first!" shouted the Tan family's attendant.

Without waiting for Qingyun to speak.

"Fuck you!" Xunshu, who was standing by, threw a fist at them and shouted, "Why waste your time talking to them!"

He didn't try to stop the fight with a confused look on his face. He had no idea what was going on and could only shout, "You, stop fighting!"

Alan went around behind the guard, looked at Qingyun who was holding the leather tube's strap, and after pulling together, he held the leather tube in his arms.

Before the Goguryeo guards who were restrained by Qingyun could react, Alan swung the leather tube and smashed it at the head of the Tan family's henchman.

"Bang bang bang!"

"You thief!"

In the midst of chaos,

Xu Zaijing and others in the private room walked out. Xu Zaijing snatched the leather tube that Alan had swung away, looked inside, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
