Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

At this point, the welcome banquet couldn't go on any longer. Fujiwara Koyama kept drinking one glass after another with a gloomy face, without speaking at all.

Sugawara Gao pretended not to see it, and chatted with Ximen Qing and others very happily.

This kind of situation is rare in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. No matter how bad you are with your boss, at least you have to save some face on the scene; but Takashi Sugawara, who came from a family of scholars, really doesn’t give Fujiwara Koyama this face. It was very appetizing for Ximen Qing.

"Master Commander, can you call the geisha to come up?" the servants who were serving at the side reminded Fujiwara Koyama.

Of course, the singing and dancing program is indispensable for the welcome banquet. Although the singing girls in Hakata are not as good as those in Kyoto, they are still of a certain standard, and they are deeply loved by the commander-in-chief.

But today, Fujiwara Koyama's face was dark, and he pondered for a long time before saying: "Send them back."

The servant nodded and went, Fujiwara Koyama unsteadily got up from the floor, and ran towards Sugawara Takaki holding a glass of wine.

Standing between Sugawara Takakin and Ximen Qing is like a wall, and this conversation really can't continue.

Sugawara Gao had no choice but to stand up and said to the wall, "Commander, what are your orders?" [

Fujiwara Koyama spoke in Japanese, but there seemed to be a bit of resentment in his tone, which made Ximen Qing get goosebumps.

If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, you really wouldn't understand that this thick body like a hill can also make a voice of complaining about women!

"The commander-in-chief complains that the young supervisor Sugawara ignored him." Fujikichiro Kinoshita whispered beside Ximenqing, "It seems that the young supervisor Sugawara doesn't pay much attention to him on weekdays, or else with the senior supervisor Sugawara's qualifications and Level, you can become a supervisor long ago."

This was not beyond Ximen Qing's expectations. It doesn't matter if your personal ability overwhelms the leader. The key is not to take the leader seriously, which is the most terrible thing.

However, it would be a good thing if someone like Gaoqin Sugawara could be recruited around him. After chatting for a while, Ximenqing found that this guy was knowledgeable but not rigid, and he was a useful talent.

Having said that, Takashi Sugawara is not Tokichiro Kinoshita after all, and instead of being a good young supervisor of Dazaifu, he came to Ximen Qing who had just set foot on the land of Dongying.

After muttering like a woman for a while, Fujiwara Koyama slowly turned around and bowed to Ximen Qing with great effort.

And Takashi Sugawara cleared his throat, and said seriously: "My lord saw that the envoys came from a long distance, and they must have been tired all the way, so I won't bother you any more. The middle court has vacated two courtyards for you to rest. The letter will make people rush Send it to Kyoto."

After saying this, Sugawara Gaoqin couldn't restrain the disgust on his face, and hesitated for a moment: "In addition, my family asked the envoy if he brought some gifts with the ship."

At the same time, Fujiwara Koyama showed an expectant expression on his face.

Ximenqing smiled, it's no wonder Takato Sugawara's disgusted face, halfway through the banquet, he used this excuse to drive people away, and even asked for gifts with the cheek. It seems that this Fujiwara Koyama not only looks like a mountain , thick-skinned like a mountain.

However, Ximen Qing was already prepared, and reached out to pat him: "Third brother, bring out the gift."

When the drum was full of fleas, he moved forward, exchanged glances with Ximen Qing, and then understood, groped in his bosom for a while, and found a small pen holder.

"Junior Superintendent Sugawara, please tell Commander-in-Chief that this is a writing brush used by Layman Dongpo." Ximen Qing took it in his hand and handed it over with a smile: "Even in Song Dynasty, it is a very precious gift."

"What? Layman Dongpo used it?"

Takasu Sugawara couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, he took the pen holder with both hands, and his palms were a little sweaty.

It has to be said that Master Su's influence in Dongying is very famous; not everyone knows who the official family of the Song Dynasty is now, but when it comes to the name of Layman Dongpo, no one knows, and singers also think of it as I am proud to be able to sing the words of Su University.

The writing brush used by Layman Dongpo, elegant!

It can be regarded as a family heirloom!

After Takashi Sugawara told Fujiwara Koyama, the latter was ecstatic, and snatched it from Takano Sugawara's hand. He couldn't open it, and said in blunt Chinese: "Thank you! Thank you!"

Not only that, Fujiwara Koyama opened the pen container on the spot, took out the writing brush inside, took a look, and then put it back, as if afraid that Ximen Qing would regret it, he hurriedly put it into his sleeve, dancing excitedly.

Ximen Qing coughed. This brush is of course a common brush, but it must not have been used by a scholar of Su University, but was bought randomly from the market, and then asked someone to engrave "Dongpo layman Huicun" or something like that on the pen holder. just a few words.

Sugawara's high-spirited smile also froze on his face. It was obvious that something was wrong from the sudden appearance just now, but for some reason, the questioning words did not rush out of his throat.

The scene turned into a group of people who knew the truth and pretended to be confused watching a fat monkey who was proud of himself.

Fujiwara Koyama got the "treasure", and his attitude eased a lot. After saluting to Ximen Qing, he shouted to Mrs. Sugawara: "Chat well with Master Ximen. I want to go back and put the treasure in the most eye-catching position."

As soon as Fujiwara Koyama left, Ximen Qing and the others got up and said goodbye. To be honest, the banquet was really not satisfying. Takashi Sugawara sent everyone to the courtyard arranged by Dazaifu Central Court before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as Takashi Sugawara left, Zou Hong, Serena, Xue Er, Sang Sanniang and others arrived, and the maids all carried food boxes in their hands.

"When I first came to Dongying, I might not be used to it, and I probably didn't eat well." Zou Hong was very thoughtful: "There are also good restaurants in Hakata, so I just brought some back to eat."

Ximen Qing laughed and said: "Brother Zou has the foresight. He really didn't eat two mouthfuls. He even drank the wine from his own Jingyangchun."

After talking, they said all the things just now, Zou Hong and Serena also laughed, ordered the maid to put down the table, took out the dishes from the food box, and made some Jingchun to drink.

Xueer was curious about the Fujiwara hill that Ximenqing mentioned, and regretted being with Serena: "I heard that Dongying people are thin and small, and they are all like Fujikichiro. How can there be such a fat one?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro smiled when he heard it: "How can the official be like a pariah?"

Everyone laughed, and Sang Sanniang also covered her mouth and laughed secretly. After the wind swept away, Ximen Qing asked about the goods.

Zou Hong laughed and said: "The government buys high-quality goods in Mingzhou, and the price is not expensive. Of course, they have to sell them at a good price here. To tell you the truth, Ximen, if this kind of goods are released all at once, it will be a little bit expensive." It’s a loss. The merchants I know in Bodo save them first and put them on the market in batches, which can earn at least [-]% more than directly releasing them.”

"It's all original, Brother Zou doesn't have to calculate it so clearly." Ximen Qing was also very happy when he heard it: "I'm afraid that when Sun Junming and Zheng Qing planned it at the beginning, they never expected such a result."

Kinoshita Tokichiro looked at Ximen Qing with reverence: "It's still my master who is scheming."

As soon as this remark came out, Juzi next to him coughed, obviously very dissatisfied with the words he used as a "student": "How can such a word as scheming be used on the master?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro got the reminder, and suddenly said: "Yes, yes, Tokichiro is confused, he should be wise and smart, wise and smart."

Everyone laughed again, Ximen Qing smiled and shook his head: "We can't stay in Bodo forever, we should start to act according to the plan, who knows when the reply from Kyoto will come?"

Scarface Tiger Liu Renzhong straightened his chest, and said loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, brothers are all ready and can go at any time."

"Sado Island is not close to here." Ximen Qing's face straightened: "It's your first time to Dongying, and you are not familiar with the geography. Although Brother Zou will send someone to find a guide to go with you, but what is going on on the island is that your eyes are smeared. You have to play by ear, if it doesn’t work, don’t hold on, send us a message.”

Liu Renzhong also said seriously: "Master Ximen, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!"

Ximenqing nodded in satisfaction. He brought a lot of amulets, which were enough for use. In addition, the big Song copper coins on the ship were hard currency. For Liu Renzhong who led the blood-blowing soldiers to investigate Sado Island, Ximenqing still felt that it should be fine. question.

Even if some people were motivated by money, Liu Renzhong and the blood-blowing soldiers were not vegetarians.

"Take root on the island, and immediately go to the capital to find us." Ximen Qing continued to order: "Remember, everything is there when there are people."

Only then did Liu Renzhong know that Ximen Qing was really worried that he and his blood-blowing soldiers would act recklessly. If the situation got out of hand, it would have a bad impact on Ximen Qing's strategy of Dongying.

Zou Hong didn't take it seriously. Although Dongpu is a bit chaotic, a well-equipped team of 50 people is already a rare force, not to mention a lot of money prepared to open the way.

However, Zou Hong still couldn’t believe the Sado Island that Ximenqing mentioned. Although that kind of island is a bit bigger, it has beautiful scenery at most. Ximenqing has never been to Dongying, let alone Sado Island. So sure?

You know, Ximen Qing's entire strategy for Japan is based on Sado Island.

Although Zou Hong didn't fully believe it, he was willing to give it a go. What's more, Ximen Qing had a deep fortune and was said to be able to perform a few spells. How could such a person not be trusted?

Maybe Ximenqing learned about it through some Taoist means.

Aren't Taoists the best fortune tellers?

But how did he know that the source of Ximen Qing's self-confidence was not Taoism or hexagrams, but the knowledge accumulated from certain games before time travel.

Although Sado Island is only a relatively large island now, the resources hidden deep in the ground were not discovered until hundreds of years later in history.

But all of this took a different path with the arrival of Ximen Qing.
