Chapter 121 Country and Family(2/3)

"It's so cold that my bones are so cold."

Liao Jin rubbed his hands, his face covered with frost.

After dinner, he sat by the brazier in a daze.

"Deputy Ambassador." Someone knocked on the door outside.

"What's the matter?" Liao Jin rubbed his eyes.

The door opened, and the sergeant accompanying him said, "Someone is asking to see me, and he says he is an old friend of the deputy envoy."

Liao Jin asked: "Who?"

"Old man!"

A man wearing a bamboo hat, a raincoat, and a face scarf came in. He pulled the face scarf down, and Liao Jin was startled, "You..."

"Please close the door."

Liao Jin nodded and then closed the door.

Liao Jin looked at the man with more confusion in his eyes, "Why is Chang'an so anxious to recruit me? Duke Xu Guogong came to the inn at night, but I had some guesses..."

The man was Zhang Chumao, "Deputy Envoy Liao, you have had a hard time on this trip. I am asking you to return to Chang'an this time because there is something I want you to testify about."

Liao Jin smiled and said: "What about the great victory?"

"You are indeed a smart man." Zhang Chumao nodded, "If I serve as the military envoy to Northern Xinjiang, I am willing to support Deputy Envoy Liao in his meritorious service."

"I don't want the credit."

"Then what do you want?"

"reason!"

Zhang Chumao looked at him and suddenly smiled, very happily.

"You want reason?" Zhang Chumao said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you that your son made a big mistake and accepted a bribe of more than 30,000 yuan."

Liao Jin was stunned.

The son is an official in another place, and it is rare for the father and son to see each other. Every time they exchange letters, they are very good. But I didn't expect...

He couldn't verify this, and he didn't need to verify it.

Liao Jin raised his eyes and asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Zhang Chumao moved his neck, and the raindrops on his bamboo hat dripped down. He said solemnly: "As long as I have a great victory and success, I swear here, this matter will sink to the bottom of the sea, otherwise my family will die without a burial place. No way...

…The children in my family are all spoiled and pampered. If they were exiled somewhere, I would be heartbroken."

Liao Jin was silent.

Zhang Chumao smiled and said, "Huang Chunhui is old, but your qualifications are not enough to take over as Jiedushi. If you change to someone who doesn't know the truth, how will he treat you?"

Liao Jin rubbed his eyebrows and lowered his head.

The corners of Zhang Chumao's mouth raised slightly, "So, I'm looking forward to having a drink with you in Northern Xinjiang, so I'll take my leave."

He opened the door and went out, and a gust of cold wind swept in.

Liao Jin sat there, silent.



Zhao Sanfu came early in the morning.

"Liao Jin will arrive in Chang'an in the morning."

Yang Xuan stood under the tree, remembering the lively time when the family was here.

"Zhang Chumao is silent?"

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "I didn't keep an eye on him."

"Damn it, will Zhang Chumao be indifferent?"

Yang Xuan knew that Zhang Chumao’s victory was a fraud, but there was no evidence!

If you want to find evidence on this matter, the best witnesses are the generals at the vanguard.

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "He will not remain indifferent, but who can prove that his victory is fake?"

He had a lot to do, so he left immediately.

"No one cares about this?" Suzaku asked.

"The four surnames of a family are at their peak, and the emperor's attitude is unclear. Who cares? Whoever cares is their enemy."

Near noon, Liao Jin entered the city.

He didn't stop for a moment and went straight into the palace to ask for an audience.

Someone came from the palace and asked Yang Xuan to enter the palace.

This is the first time Yang Xuan goes to see the emperor, no, the false emperor.

"Jing Ke stabs the King of Qin and kills him!" Zhuque was a little excited, "Let's use a beheading tactic, and then the world will be in chaos, and you will use the banner of Fengtian to appease the people... Hahaha!"

All the way to the outside of the palace city, Yang Xuan couldn't help but ponder the terrain and the most convenient way to attack.

"Follow me."

Following the servants and watching the situation in the palace, Yang Xuan imagined the scene of walking in the palace with filial piety to the emperor.

When we arrived outside the main hall, Liao Jin had already arrived first.

"Deputy Ambassador Liao." Yang Xuan saluted.

Liao Jin said gently: "Young people should cheer up, but they should not be impulsive."

Does he want to compromise?

Yang Xuan's heart became cold.

A chamberlain came out, but it was Han Shitou, whom he had met once.

Han Shitou said calmly: "Follow us."

The two of them entered one after the other.

The prime ministers and ministers are all there.

Zhang Chumao was also there, looking humble, probably because he had just been praised.

The emperor...the fake emperor looked calm, but his cheeks actually had fat, which showed that he was living a good life.

Left phase, right phase...

Yang Xuan glanced at these important ministers with a startled glance, and then lowered his head.

The emperor said calmly: "We are all here. How is this great victory? Let me ask you."

Zheng Qi smiled, "Xu Guogong has made great achievements in battle, there is no doubt about it."

Wang Douxiang said coldly: "The good news is that Xu Guogong killed more than a thousand enemies in this battle and lost three thousand."

"The Northern Liao Dynasty was fierce, and the forwards underestimated the enemy, so that they suffered a lot of losses at the beginning of the battle. Later, the soldiers sacrificed their lives, and I led the army to arrive, and the enemy army was defeated."

Zhang Chumao said regretfully.

What an acting skill!

Yang Xuan thought of the movies and TV dramas he watched, and the so-called movie king had no choice but to bow down in front of Xu Guogong.

But it is understandable that others are just acting like a fan, but this person is acting like a murderer.

Wang Douxiang said: "Northern Xinjiang should know about this. Deputy Envoy Liao is here. Please help us clear up our doubts."

Liao Jin took a step forward.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on him.

Zhang Chumao looked at him with a smile, his smile was particularly gentle.

Wang Douxiang's eyes flashed and he cursed in his heart. If Zhang Chumao didn't feel guilty, he would just be indifferent and there was no need to look at Liao Jin.

When he looked at it this way, it was clear that there was a ghost.

Liao Jin was convinced by him!?

Yang Songcheng looked at Chen Shen and smiled very calmly.

Chen Shen rarely questioned the authenticity of Zhang Chumao's victory, otherwise Zhang Chumao would have already set off with the title of Northern Xinjiang Jiedushi at this moment.

But what's the use of blocking it for a while?

Yang Songcheng had been planning this matter for a long time, so he asked Zhang Chumao to lead the army to retaliate against Beiliao. But Zhang Chumao, an idiot, failed to live up to his expectations and lost all his troops in the first battle.

If not, how could he have found out the fault of Liao Jin's son, and then ordered Zhang Chumao to find Liao Jin, and accomplished this through threats and inducements.

Chen Shen glanced at Yang Songcheng, his eyes calm, like a deep old well.

Liao Jin took a deep breath and said slowly:
