It is almost midsummer, and Kaifeng is now in the scorching sun.
Yangqu County looks very cool, it is said that it was caused by a heavy rain two days ago. Sitting in a tavern next to the road, ordering hearty wine and food. Yuyin and Rhode accompanied Leng Fei and Roger and the two of them were cheering and the atmosphere was also very warm.
"What exactly is this Xinkou Village?"
Rhode filled Leng Fei with a glass of water and asked with a smile.
Leng Fei said: "To be honest, I have been here for the sake of being here, but I just found out about the situation in the yamen.
We will set out tomorrow, pass Chitang Pass and Shiling Pass. It will take about two or three days to reach the capital of Xinzhou. There are three villages in Xinzhou, Tuhe Village, Yunnei Village, and Xinkou Village. It is located in the underwater of Xinchuan, adjacent to the Hutuo River. The terrain is extremely dangerous and it is the gateway between Dingxiang and Xiurong... Well, the scenery is good, it is a good place to go."
But Rhode's face suddenly became ugly!
Portal?
He only heard the word "Port" and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
This Taiyuan Prefecture is a place where military strategists must fight for, and Xinzhou is located north of Taiyuan Prefecture, which is the gateway to Taiyuan Prefecture. Xiurong is the capital of Xinzhou. Xinkou Village, as the gateway to Xiurong and Dingxiang, its significance is self-evident.
That is probably not only the portal of Xiurong and Dingxiang, but also the portal of Taiyuan Mansion!
If there is a war in such a place, wouldn’t it be the first to be affected? Rhodes twisted his thick eyebrows together. Although he tried his best to calm his eyes, there was still a hint of worry in his eyes. What should he do?
"Dalang, what?"
"This Xinkou Village is probably not a good place."
The voice of Rhodes's words might have been louder, and Roger heard it right away.
He was furious and slapped the table and said, "What are you saying? It seems like I am a father and son! Let me tell you, this is the job I asked for after all the escorts between me and the official camp. "" Do you think this Taiyuan Prefecture is your family? Where do you want to go conveniently? Let me tell you, there are many free places under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Prefecture? If it weren't for the fact that there was such a lack of time in Xinkou Village this time, Uncle Siliu would have to do a lot of hard work."
Leng Fei was on the side and also lowered his face.
Yu Yin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, two brothers, Dalang said this, I'm afraid there is a reason for him."
Rod also stood up and apologized repeatedly, "Don't worry, two brothers, don't blame them, but Xinkou Village... Brother, have a glass of wine first, wait for me to tell you slowly... This Xinkou Village is the gateway of Xinzhou, and it is also the northern barrier of Taiyuan. I am worried that if a war occurs, Xinkou Village will be the first to be affected and there will be no disaster."
"fighting?"
Roger was stunned.
Leng Fei smiled and said, "Da Lang is so worried. Now the Liao people are declining, and the Jin people have an alliance with our dynasty. How can there be any war?
Not to mention that there is Daizhou in the north of Xinzhou, where tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in our Song Dynasty.
If a war really happens, the thief chief will have already fled before he arrives in Xinzhou. How could he be in danger? I want to say, Dalang is too worried... The place in Xinkou Village is good, and it is not bad to be able to go there."
"If the Liao people are sick of tigers, the Jin people are like hungry wolfs."
After a long time of silence, Rhode whispered: "The sick tiger is not enough to be afraid of, and the hungry wolf is the most cruel... Maybe I was worried too much, but... well, I went to Xinkou Village. My father is really unable to make trouble, so let's enjoy some happiness."
"Come on!"
Roger and Leng Fei both laughed.
However, Yu Yin's eyes suddenly narrowed and looked at Rhode, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
In his impression, although Rod was born in academy and read poetry and books, he was not really capable. How could he now... did he feel the threat from the woman? Yes, this Xinkou Village is indeed not a good place, but as a military mate, Luo Yidao has the right to choose? Yu Yin couldn't help but feel a little worried.
But neither he nor Rhode noticed, and at the table behind him, all three drinkers stopped eating.
These three drinkers looked like they were in their thirties and forties last year. One of them was wearing a brocade robe, strong and burly body, and had a strong sense of commerce. He had a beard and a black and red face, which was obviously caused by the sun.
A pair of big hands, covered with calluses. (《》)
When he heard Rhodes' words, the man put down the wine bowl and turned his head to look at Rhodes in surprise.
The two men around him also put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at Rhode quietly. As if they felt the gaze of the three people, Rhode turned his head and looked at the man, then smiled slightly, then turned his head and ignored the three people.
When you are away, it is better to have less than more things.
What's more, Luo Yidao has not been resettled yet, and Rhode doesn't want to have any trouble.
"Brother Xiao Yi, these three people behind him are not simple!"
Yu Yin turned his head and frowned slightly.
The beard was obviously a warrior, and his qi and blood were so strong that it was shocking.
This is a master!
Just as Yu Yin was guessing the origin of these three people, he suddenly heard a noise outside the hotel.
"What's going on?"
He looked out in the sound, but saw a group of chariots slowly passing by the door of the tavern. There were about hundreds of people in the convoy, and a team of cavalrymen were leading the way in front. They were all wearing white clothes, all of them were strong. The most eye-catching one was the long braids left behind these knights... the tail of the money pig! Yu Yin's heart suddenly stumbled when he saw the braids.
"Is it a straight woman?"
"Um!"
"How do these women come here?"
Luo Ge said: "This is a Jin delegation, saying that he is going to Kaifeng for an interview... Bah, you see that it looks so weird. I really don't know how the Liao people would be defeated by these guys. But I heard that these women are fighting straight, but they are very fierce."
"How fierce can it be?"
"Even the Liao people are not an opponent. How fierce do you think they are?"
Leng Fei and Roger whispered, as if they were very upset with these women.
On the contrary, Yuyin and Rhode walked to the door of the restaurant and carefully observed these guys...
"It seems to be Ali Xi of the Golden Man."
"Ali Xi?"
"It's the entourage of the soldiers."
A loud voice suddenly came from behind. Yu Yin turned his head to look, but the burly bearded man walked over.
"Those are the real soldiers and the real Sharpies of Naoto."
Following the direction of the bearded finger, there were about a hundred people riding in the middle of the convoy.
Compared with those Alixi in white, these knights are obviously much younger and more fierce. The mounts under their crotch are not as good as those of Alixi in white. The momentum they reveal during walking makes people feel more stressful.
"I have seen with my own eyes that five female straight soldiers beat more than 20 elite Liao soldiers to flee... These guys, as this little brother said, are a group of hungry wolves, cruel and brave, but brave and good at fighting.
Now Yelu Yanxi gathers troops and wants to fight the Jin people to regain Yan Yun.
But in my opinion, if there is no accident in the result of this battle, Yelu Yanxi would probably be defeated in a crushing defeat. If Yelu Yanxi was defeated, the Jin people would have no restraint in the northern border. Xixia was no longer comparable to that of the past, and I am afraid it would be powerless to stop the Jin people's cavalry. If this situation really turns out to be the next opponent of these women..."
The bearded man's words were filled with a strong sense of worry.
Rod suddenly said, "Is it because of the letter from Yelu Yanxi?"
The bearded man was stunned when he heard this, glanced at Rhode, and then smiled, "Is it a little brother a Kaifeng person?"
“That’s right!”
"That's no wonder!"
The bearded man nodded and said softly: "It is said that Yelu Yanxi sent a letter to the official family, asking the official family to send troops to help. Now the female Nao people are about to fight the Liao people, and accidents will not be allowed, so she sent an envoy to leave for this matter."
"Dare you ask the official's name Gao?"
Rhode was stunned for a moment, and he became more curious about the beard.
Judging from the man's momentum, he seemed to be an official, but he couldn't figure out what it was. Rhode had to use the title of Grand Official to replace him to show his respect for the bearded man. The bearded man was stunned and then smiled.
"A certain name is Liu Ziyu."
"Liu Ziyu?" Luo De immediately showed a look of surprise, "Is it because of the eldest son of Chong'an Zhongyan in front of him?"
"Hey, do you know my name?"
Rod hurriedly said, "I don't know the reputation of the eldest son... The eldest son has heard of the eldest son suppressing Fang Ni in Yuezhou since Duke Zhong Yan suppressed Fang Ni. But he didn't expect that he would meet the eldest son here. If he was discovered, he would definitely not believe this fate."
Yu Yin was stunned!
Which is Liu Ziyu? Which is this Zhong Yangong?
As for Fang Ni mentioned by Rhode, he could guess it was Fang La. This young master must have participated in the suppression of Fang La's uprising, but why did it make Rhode so excited? There was even more closeness in his words.
Liu Ziyu smiled.
"I never thought that my good brother knew my name.
I was in Zhending Mansion and was Weiwei Cheng. Today I happened to work in Taiyuan Mansion, but I didn’t want to meet my brother. I heard what my brother said just now, and seemed to be quite concerned about his daughter Naomi, but it coincided with my father’s idea. But I don’t know why I came to Taiyuan?”
It seems that Mr. Zhong Yan has no good feelings for his daughter Naomi.
This can be seen from Liu Ziyu's words just now, so Yu Yin didn't find it strange.
Even, he was a little happy for Rhodes.
If he really could get the care of Liu Ziyu, Luo Yidao and his son would have a lot of convenience in their lives here. The Wei Cheng of Wei is not at a high position, but he is only from the seventh rank. But since Liu Ziyu came with his father, he must have been a big man with real power. Yu Yin couldn't help but be curious about the origin of Duke Zhong Yan.
He really couldn't remember clearly. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, were there any famous officials in Zhending Prefecture?
As for Roger and Leng Fei, they were shocked.
The two of them didn't expect to meet a person like Liu Ziyu in this small restaurant. Both of them were old men. Seeing that Rod and Liu Ziyu were having a happy conversation, there was something unusual in their eyes. It was really like people moving to live, trees moving to die... Rod's reputation in Kaifeng was already bad, but he didn't want to come to Taiyuan, and he had such an opportunity.
If he really took Liu Ziyu's line, he would not have said that his future path would become particularly bright.
Roger regretted even more secretly, why was he so rude to Rhode just now?
Liu Ziyu and Rod had a great chat. At this moment, he suddenly heard a stern shout from the restaurant opposite: "Xiao Qing, take your master's slave and take your life!"
Immediately afterwards, a bowstring sounded, and a sharp arrow shot out from the restaurant and flew towards a carriage in the center of the female straight-man convoy. At the same time, a clamor, more than a dozen windows broke open, and dozens of men in black jumped out of it, rushed towards the carriage, holding bright weapons in their hands, with great momentum and murderous aura...
