After asking the name, Ximenqing knew that the young prisoner was called Gaoqin Sugawara.

The surname Sugawara seemed familiar, but Ximen Qing couldn't remember it for a while.

It has to be said that the Chinese proficiency of this young prisoner Sugawara has surpassed that of Tokichiro Kinoshita, who has just learned it for a few months. Ximen Qing thinks that it may be because he has been an official in Dazaifu for a long time and has often contacted Song merchants.

But when everyone disembarked and the commander of Dazaifu appeared in front of him, Ximen Qing realized that he was wrong.

This commander-in-chief is handsome, with big arms and a thick waist. He can't even speak a complete Chinese.

"My lord, you are such an idiot."

Ximen Qing pondered for a long time before he figured out that "idiot" means "to eat", and he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief was able to accurately say his name, Fujiwara Koyama.

Looking at the figure, it is really a hill! [

Seeing Ximenqing's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Young Supervisor Sugawara hurriedly explained: "My lord means to welcome Mr. Ximen to the Dazaifu for a banquet."

Takasu Sugawara's explanation made Fujiwara Koyama curse in a low voice in Japanese dialect.

"I think the young supervisor is busy." Tokichiro Kinoshita translated in Ximenqing's ear.

Ximen Qing chuckled, it was obvious that this Young Prisoner Sugawara was a man of real talent and learning, and the commander of "Xiaoshan" was just a fool, and he probably suppressed this Young Prisoner a lot on weekdays.

Ximenqing thought for a while, and asked the prodigal son Yanqing to take out the letter: "Master Commander, please read the letter!"

Fujiwara Koyama moved his body with some difficulty, spread his fingers as thick as ham sausage, and took the letter.

Fujiwara Koyama knew something like a letter, but the Chinese text on it recognized him, Fujiwara Koyama, but he, Fujiwara Koyama didn't.

Some Chinese.

The Commander-in-Chief didn't hesitate too much, but reclosed the letter and handed it to Takasu Sugawara who was standing next to him.

Takasu Sugawara respectfully held the document, sighed secretly, and then opened it with trembling fingers.

For him, the most fearful thing is to read from the document that the Great Song Dynasty asked Dongying for various rare things as a country, or wrote "reward" and other words very arrogantly.

Not far behind Ximen Qing, Xiao Rang, a sage hand scholar, and Jin Dajian, a jade arm craftsman, looked at each other. This letter was written by the two of them, and it was no longer the original one.

While unlikely, it can be tricky if questioned.

Ximenqing, on the other hand, looked at the scenery of Bodo with great interest. At this moment, all the ships had already started unloading. The goods were unloaded by Dongying porters, and they were waiting to be sold at a good price.

Of course, no one will know that most of the cargo on this fleet is actually a reward arranged by Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty. [

For this part, Ximenqing has entrusted Zou Hong to take action on his behalf. After talking in detail on the boat, Ximenqing felt that instead of finding a way to "sell the stolen goods" by himself, it would be better to simply hand it over to Zou Hong, and some of the money he got was to be used. Yu Ximenqing's Dongying Raiders.

Mrs. Sugawara read it back and forth three times, his surprise and joy were beyond words, he closed the document and asked someone to put it away, and a "Master Ximen!" woke Ximen Qing from his reverie.

"What? Is there anything else you want to ask about the document, Young Prison Sugawara?"

Ximen Qing asked in a lazy voice.

"No! Sir, please!" Takahiro Sugawara shook his head resolutely, and made a gesture of please.

This document is really too difficult. It does not regard Dongying as a small vassal country at all, but it is serious to establish an equal relationship and carry out trade.

Takano Sugawara couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it.

This Lord Ximen came here to represent the Song Dynasty officials to negotiate with Dongying and start a large-scale trade as soon as possible.

This made Gao Qin Sugawara feel that he has not lived in vain in this life.

Dazaifu has a very strong architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it is not only the architecture, but also the clothing, etc. Put this Sugawara Takashi in the Tang Dynasty, he is a real scholar.

Of course, no matter what clothes you wear on Fujiwara Koyama's body, it's just a piece of cloth.

After entering the gate of Dazaifu, Takashi Sugawara took a leave of absence, picked up his robe, and went east in a puff of smoke.

Regarding Sugawara Takakin's actions, Fujiwara Koyama shook his big head that was about to leak oil, and continued to move forward slowly.

Chrysanthemum told Ximen Qing that the Lord Sugawara was so happy that he was going to the Tianman Palace in the east to comfort his ancestors.

In the end, Juzi might as well say with emotion: "The one enshrined in Tianman Palace is Mr. Sugawara Michizane. This young supervisor seems to be the direct descendant of Mr. Michizane. No wonder he is very knowledgeable."

Hearing Chrysanthemum talk about Sugawara Michizane, Ximen Qingcai suddenly remembered it. No wonder he felt familiar with the surname Sugawara just now. This Sugawara Michizane can be said to be the god of learning and calligraphy in Japan, and a great scholar in the Heian era .

However, Ximen Qing remembered that Sugawara Michizane was not because of his knowledge, but because he was harmed by the treacherous ministers at that time, and he was relegated to a remote place, and died in depression.

Not long after this person died, a strange thing happened on his birthday. At that time, the emperor called officials in Qingliangdian to discuss whether to pray for rain. Several traitors died.

Although the emperor was not injured, he also witnessed the whole incident and was so stimulated that he died three months later.

There was a lightning incident in the emperor's residence. The social impact brought about by this strange incident was quite large, so the popular saying is that this Sugawara Michizane was full of resentment, and his soul was responsible for manipulating the thunder and lightning. "The title is simply unbelievable.

Now it seems that this Sugawara Michizane was relegated to this Hakata Dazaifu at that time, and his descendants also thrived here.

"Sir, please!"

Fujiwara Koyama was a little out of breath. He used to travel in a sedan chair on weekdays. He had prepared a sedan chair today, but he didn't expect that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty would walk over with great enthusiasm.

Accompanied by Ximen Qing were Gushang Flea Shiqian, Prodigal Yanqing, Sage Scholar Xiao Rang, Scarface Tiger Liu Renzhong and others, as well as An Daoquan, Juzi and his wife, Kinoshita Tokichiro, and a group of more than a dozen people.

Seats had already been set up in the hall, and after Ximenqing and the others took their seats, Fujiwara Koyama also sat down carefully, and his body like a mountain pressed down on the entire floor with a groan.

Kinoshita Tokichiro was very excited. When he left Dongying, he was still a Dongying untouchable who had no way to survive to work as a handyman on a Song people's ship, but now even the commander of Dazaifu looked at him with admiration.

Who told him that he has transformed into a majestic deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty, and went to Dongying with Master Ximen?

"Come here, serve wine! Serve food!"

Fujiwara Koyama muttered and patted his fat hands. It was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of energy just now, and he was somewhat hungry.

Ximen Qing didn't dare to be interested in the dishes and drinks served, especially the wine, which couldn't even match the village brew.

Looking around, An Daoquan picked up his nose and sniffed, not even interested in reaching for the wine glass. Ju Zi gently moved the wine glass aside for him, and conveniently picked a piece of fish meat for An Daoquan from the nearby plate.

The master scholar Xiao Rang even spit out the wine he drank, scaring the face of the woman serving beside him to turn pale.

Fujiwara Koyama drank heavily, obviously this wine was to his liking, he drank two or three cups on his own before randomly picking up a piece of meat and chewing it in his mouth.

Fortunately, Ximenqing got into the habit of bringing some small bottles of Jingchun Spring wherever he went, so he simply asked Scarface Tiger Liu Renzhong to take two small bottles and share them with everyone.

For a while, the banquet that was supposed to welcome the envoys of the Song Dynasty became nondescript. Fujiwara Koyama murmured while drinking: "This guy Gao knows that I can't speak Chinese, but he didn't come here for a long time. It's obvious that he's embarrassing me!"

As soon as Jingyang Spring blooms, good things come naturally, and good things come naturally.

"Good wine!"

Takako Sugawara happily walked in from outside the hall, and outside the door he smelled an unprecedented smell of wine, which made him unable to help but praise.

"Since Young Supervisor Sugawara is interested, you can give it a try."

Ximen Qing smiled and asked the maid to bring a shallow cup of Jingyang Chun.

"I wanted to have the cheek to ask Lord Ximen for it, but I am not polite."

Even Takashi Sugawara was not seated, so he swung his neck and drank the glass of Jingchun Spring. He felt that the taste was extremely slippery and the aftertaste was poor, so he suddenly asked, "Is this Bianliang Jingchun?"

Ximenqing nodded and said nothing, and Tokichiro Kinoshita interjected, "Master Young Prisoner is quite knowledgeable, but I'm afraid I don't know that this Jingyangchun is brewed by my master."

"This statement is true!" Sugawara Gaoqin looked shocked: "Before I got off the job, I only occasionally heard merchants mention the reputation of this wine, but I didn't expect it to be brewed by Master Ximen!"

After speaking, Mr. Sugawara straightened his clothes, and respectfully saluted Ximen Qing: "Thank you, Mr. Ximen, for brewing such fine wine for the world."

Ximen Qing was not polite, accepted this gift, smiled and said: "Young Prison Sugawara, please take your seat. I still have plenty of this wine on board. I will send you two jars later."

"Really?" Takasu Sugawara didn't know whether it was because of the wine or excitement, his face turned red, and he bowed deeply again: "Thank you, Master Ximen!"

"Sugawara Takashi! Didn't you see that I'm still here? I didn't say a word with the envoy of the Song Dynasty, did you not take me seriously!"

Fujiwara Koyama kept watching from the side, seeing that Takasu Sugawara was familiar with him, he was so angry that he even threw his wine glass on the ground.

"Master Commander"

Takashi Sugawara didn't explain either, just nodded slightly as a courtesy, then flicked his sleeves, and found a place to sit opposite Ximen Qing.
