King of Song

Chapter 213
Young Master Jinyi has the capital to be arrogant and confident, but this group of rough men are arrogant but have no strength.

The fight in the Anyuan Inn ended soon. Although these arrogant men were strong and strong, they might be very good at fighting on the battlefield, but they were not as good at maneuvering and fighting in the hall.

On the other hand, Young Master Jinyi's followers were all dexterous and swordsmen, and they won the victory very quickly.And left blood-red marks on these rude wild men.

Of course, they are also very measured, and they didn't want to put people to death, so they showed mercy.

"Get out!" Young Master Jinyi yelled coldly, full of power.

Although those rough men were very unconvinced, but the opponent's strength was there, and they were muttering, and they no longer had the previous arrogance.Reluctantly retreating towards the door, one of them seemed to want to come back and fight to the death, but was held back by his companion, and then murmured a few words.Lin Zhao didn't understand at all, and saw the rough man leaving a resentful look in his eyes, and left angrily.

"Tubo people!" Lin Zhao couldn't understand, but a guide soldier who accompanied him could hear clearly.

Both Lin Zhao and the young man in brocade clothes were startled, and their expressions changed slightly. Why did the Tubo people appear in Dasan Pass?And still so arrogant?Who is it?Where did the confidence come from to be so arrogant?
"What did they just say?" Lin Zhao asked softly.

"Back to the doctor, some people say that important things are important, don't delay!" The guide soldier replied immediately.

Matter?What's the big deal?Although it may be some ordinary Tibetans.But because I happened to be going to Tibet as an envoy, let alone these people were carrying weapons, so arrogant, it seemed extraordinary.

Lin Zhaoduo kept an eye out for that young man in brocade clothes. When the title "Langzhong" came to his ears, his expression changed immediately, and he looked at Lin Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was very interested.

In fact, he has been paying attention to Lin Zhao since just now.Being able to stand still like Mount Tai in the midst of swords, lights and swords, without moving a muscle, without a hint of fear, just from this calmness alone, it can be seen that this person is extraordinary.

Also, the subordinates around him are all good fighters. Young Master Jin Yi is holding a sword. He is a person who knows martial arts, so he can tell at a glance.The most important thing is to bring a guide who can speak Tubo, which is even more special when combined.

Young Master Jin Yi became more and more interested in Lin Zhao, and cupped his hands and said, "Brother, I'm so sorry just now, I'm really sorry for disturbing your dinner, I'm treating you to today's meal, how about a little apology?"

"That's it, thank you very much!" Lin Zhao agreed with a smile, while carefully observing Young Master Jinyi.She looks fair, handsome and somewhat charming, and her voice is soft, she looks like a woman.However, her gestures are quite generous, and her personality and mind are not like a weak little girl at all.And the chest, it seems flat, not like...

Maybe it's really a man, with a more feminine appearance, and the word indistinguishable can only be used to describe it!This is not important, on the contrary, it is the identity and actions of this person that makes Lin Zhao more curious!

"Brother take it easy, let's go first, there will be a meeting later!" Lin Zhao was already full of wine and food, and then left immediately, and after going out, he ordered: "Bozhou, find a way to find out the origin of this group of people, and those Tibetans people……"

"Yes!"

Lin Zhao always felt that this young man in brocade clothes was unusual, and had a strong premonition in his heart that they would meet again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The shopkeeper of Anyuan Inn watched Lin Zhao and the others leave, and then looked helplessly at Mr. Jinyi and his party. The fight just now caused a lot of damage to the tables, stools, cups, dishes and other items in the store, which made him very distressed.

After Young Master Jinyi saw it, he made a gesture with his eyes, and immediately a follower handed over a piece of gold and said, "Boss, this is your compensation, is it enough?"

"Enough...enough..." The boss was overjoyed immediately, a piece of gold was already comparable to his usual income for several months.

The servant said: "Go prepare a few upper rooms and clean them up!"

"Yes!"

Young Master Jin Yi didn't seem to be very interested. After hastily eating his meal, he returned to his room!More than a dozen followers also entered the outer hall together, obviously there are very important things to discuss!
"Qi... Qilang, the Tubo people broke the appointment, we still go back..."

Young Master Jinyi, who seemed to be the seventh son, said, "No, how about we just go back empty-handed like this? If we come out for a while, we should help Big Brother a bit!"

"But we made an appointment to meet at Dasan Pass, and they haven't arrived, so there's nothing we can do!" A Chang, the leader of the entourage, was also quite helpless, and then he complained: "Damn Li Fugui, there is something wrong with Huanqing Road, but the consequences will be severe." It's really too much for us to bear it. Isn't it because we have a close relationship with Wang Xianggong, hum..."

"Forget it, the matter has already happened, it's useless to talk about it!" Mr. Jinyi was very rational, and said: "Right now, we can only find a way to solve it as much as possible to recover the loss, otherwise the Privy Council will blame it, and the elder brother will have to take responsibility!"

"But the Tubo people broke the appointment, there is nothing we can do!"

Young Master Jin Yi shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, since they don't want to come to Sanguan, then let's go to Lanzhou, or even Hehuang Qingtang City..."

"Go to Tubo? Qilang, absolutely not!" The servant immediately dissuaded him: "I told... Dalang that Qilang must not be put in danger. Dasan Pass is already the limit. What's more, it is a long way to go to Tubo. The area around Hehuang, and even Qinfeng Road are not peaceful, but it may not be easy for the few of us to get to Qingtang City smoothly.

After all, our manpower is limited, and it is okay to guard Qilang in Guanzhong and Shaanxi/West Roads, but if we go out of Dasan Pass, even if we only encounter a small group of horse thieves, we will be helpless, it is really not safe! "

"Isn't it possible?" Young Master Jin Yi seemed to be very persistent!

Achang said: "Also, those Tubo people we offended today don't know what their identities are. After all, they have reached their territory, so they will inevitably take care of them..."

"I have already decided that I must go to Lanzhou or Hehuang!" Young Master Jin Yi insisted: "Since I have promised, I must help my brother to do it!"

"I completely understand Qilang's feelings, and Dalang won't blame you. If you go to Hehuang, your safety cannot be guaranteed, and you can't get things done. In the end, you will threaten your own safety, which is not worth it! Not only is it useless, Dalang also I will worry about you, Shichiro, and even feel guilty..."

"You don't have to worry about safety. Who said that a dozen of us can't get to Hehuang safely?" A confident smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Jinyi's mouth.

"Qilang has a solution?" Achang was at a loss. A dozen people ran into Hehuang alone. Isn't it too childish?
Young Master Jin Yi said: "That's natural, remember that young man who will dine with us?"

"The one Qilang invited to drink?"

"Not bad!" Young Master Jin Yi asked with a smile, "Don't you think he's special?"

"Speaking of it, others were afraid that the sword would have no eyes and hurt the fish in the pond, so they ran away one after another, but he was as stable as Mount Tai, not moving a muscle." Achang said: "I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it's really special, at least he has extraordinary courage, but it has nothing to do with us What's the deal with going to Hehuang?"

"It's more than courage. Didn't you pay attention to the people around him? They are all first-class masters. Their skills are not inferior to yours, and they are even better than you!" Mr. Jin Yi said: "Also, come with me The man understands the Tubo language, the most important thing! I overheard someone calling him Doctor!"

"Langzhong?" Achang was a little surprised, he knew that Qilang's ears were exceptionally sharp, so it was not surprising to hear some whispered whispers.

"Yes!" Young Master Jin Yi asked, "You look at him, does he look like a doctor who prescribes prescriptions and takes medicine?"

Achang thought about it and replied: "It's gentle, but it's not that feeling..."

"So, he can only be a..."

"Official!" Achang whispered, finally realizing that the young man Qilang was talking about was really extraordinary.

Doctors who practice medicine have been called doctors since the Song Dynasty, but it is not so common yet.More are the titles of certain officials of the imperial court, especially the Six Departments.Below Shangshu and Shilang are Langzhong, who can be regarded as high-ranking officials.

Young Master Jin Yi said: "Lang Zhong, a follower who can speak Tubo, has extraordinary courage and insight, and is so young. If he appears in Dasan Pass at this time, then it will be obvious who he is!"

"Lin Zhao, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites!" A Chang thought of something and immediately reacted!

"When we set off, we got the news that the imperial court sent Lin Zhao, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, to Hehuang Tubo. I heard that this doctor Lin was only a weaker year. He was once an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, and he was also an official in the local area. He accomplished many great things. Brave and resourceful, famous!"

Young Master Jin Yi said: "Now the conditions are very similar in all aspects, and the time is about the same, so it is very likely that it is Lin Langzhong, who is going to Tibet as an envoy!"

"What does Qilang mean?" Achang already understood that Qilang just wanted to make a fuss about Lin Zhao!
"It's very simple!" Young Master Jinyi said: "He is going to Hehuang Tubo as an envoy, and we happened to go together smoothly, and the envoy was escorted by the imperial army. Although the number of people is not large, it is completely feasible to deal with the horse thieves along the way!

On the border between the Song Dynasty and Tubo, even the Xixia people dare not attack the mission blatantly, so we will be safe if we follow them! "

"But can they agree?" Achang was slightly worried about this.

Young Master Jinyi said: "Why not?" The confident smile on the corner of his mouth made Achang believe that Qilang has already made up his mind!

"Go and find out if the mission is near Dasan Pass? It's best to find out their itinerary!"

"Yes!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After resting at Dasan Pass for two days, the mission had finished purchasing all the necessary items, and set foot on the westward journey again.

Now it is on Qinfeng Road, which is the most westward territory of the Song Dynasty, and then goes west through Longyou, and starts to go up to the plateau next to the Hexi Corridor.Finally arrived at Qingtang City along the Huangshui River, this is their established route!
Before setting off, Lin Zhao gave another mobilization speech: "Soldiers, up to now, we have been walking on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. With the care of local officials, we have no worries about food and clothing along the way, and we are also very safe. After passing the Great Sanctuary, the road behind will gradually become difficult and dangerous.

After two days of rest, I hope everyone cheers up and prepares their hearts to deal with the hardships and possible dangers of the journey. You must not be as comfortable as you are now! "

This was exactly what Lin Zhao was worried about. From Bianjing to Dasan Pass, perhaps the journey was too smooth, and the enthusiasm and vigilance of the soldiers seemed to be gradually declining.This is not a good sign, so it is necessary to remind before leaving the customs.It's just that it's hard to say whether it will be effective, and it is necessary to continue to remind and be more careful during the journey.

"Bo Zhou, take care of yourself on the way!" The marching still needs professionals like Su An to carry out, while Lin Zhao observes with a learning attitude.

"Don't worry, son!" Su An seemed to be enjoying this kind of life, maybe it was because he stayed too long in the imperial army and was too aggrieved.Now that I have returned to the Northwest that I am familiar with, I am particularly excited about marching in the wild.

Not long after leaving Dasan Pass, a group of more than ten people were found on the road. It seemed that the carriage was damaged and blocked the way.After the soldiers who opened the way discovered this situation, they reported it immediately.

After Su An rushed to investigate the situation, he discovered that it was the day before yesterday that he met Mr. Jinyi at the Anyuan Inn.In view of the special features of this person and the young master's explanation, Su An did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to report to Lin Zhao!
Mr. Jinyi?Really interesting!
"Brother, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!" Lin Zhao couldn't help admiring his premonition, it was so accurate!At a glance, Young Master Jinyi has changed a lot from yesterday!

He had already changed out of the brocade clothes, and was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, which looked relatively clean, but they were obviously suitable for long-distance travel.

Lin Zhao speculated that this person might be a son of a wealthy family in the Guanzhong area. He was high-end and powerful in Dashan Pass, and ordinary people would not dare to provoke him.But now that he is out of customs, he must keep a low profile so as not to attract attention. This behavior is completely understandable.

It's just that it's a bit of a coincidence that he appeared here today, right?

Young Master "Jin Yi" said: "Yes, it's also a predestined relationship, but I didn't expect that Xiongtai was an official of the imperial court. I didn't know Mount Tai yesterday, I really disrespected you!"

"Brother, what's the matter?" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice when he saw the overturned carriage on the ground.

"To tell you the truth, we are medicinal material merchants in Chang'an. Some merchants originally sent some precious snow lotus and caterpillar fungus to Dasanguan. Unfortunately, the merchants did not arrive for some reason. We only need to go to Lanzhou or even Huangzhou to transport them in person! But we didn't Thinking that going out is not good, the carriage broke down not long after leaving the customs!"

"Just you guys, with such poor preparations, still want to go to Huangzhou?" The guide couldn't help laughing.

"There is no way, the matter is urgent, these are all tributes to be sent to Bianjing, we must hurry up!"

"A tribute? May I ask what your honor is called!" Lin Zhao couldn't help being curious!
Young Master "Jin Yi" clasped his fists and said, "Xin Wenzhe is the seventh in my family, you can call me Qilang directly!"
