Li Yu held the box in his hand and didn't know what was inside.
The purpose of those who came tonight is very clear, which is to kill the festival holders of the Song Dynasty mission on the border between Wu and Song Dynasties.
As a result, the two sides cannot tell who is responsible, and there is bound to be discord.
It seems that Fang La is also afraid of Soochow sending troops. After all, Soochow's soldiers and horses are very good at fighting in swamps like Jiangnan.
"Okay, I'll go to Jiankang for Mr. Lin."
Since I was traveling here, I chose to turn back halfway at this time. Firstly, I couldn't explain it to the court and Lin Lingsu. Secondly, it ran counter to the purpose of this trip.
"First send someone back to report to the court. Let's move on. As for whether the court sends another festival holder, we should take over. It depends on the court's will." Li Yu held the box and said slowly.
"That's exactly how it should be. Fortunately, there is a Taoist priest who takes on this important task." Yang Yizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned.
Li Yu continued: "There is another important event. There is a Ximen Qing among the civil servants who has repeatedly attacked me behind the scenes. I think he is responsible for most of the assassins this time. I will quickly report to the court to hunt down this beast."
Since he decided to take Lin Xun on a trip, Li Yu took charge and took charge.
Nowadays, only a few officials of the huge Song Dynasty delegation still retain their sense, while the others are so frightened that their faces are pale and in shock.
"First collect the corpses of the dead soldiers, leaving a hundred or so people to escort the corpses back to the Song Dynasty. These men died in a foreign land, and I can't let them bury their bones in a different place."
Li Yu's words won over the hearts of the Imperial Army, and everyone began to sort out the corpses of their companions in the valley.
Li Yu took Yang Zhiye and Li Jun back to his tent, and the three of them looked at the box in his hand.
Li Yu asked tentatively: "Would you like to open it and take a look?"
"Let's see what's so great. We don't want it." Li Jun's Adam's apple twitched and he whispered.
"It's okay if you just take a look." Yang Zhi also nodded.
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief and reached under the box. There was a delicate buckle.
After pushing it away, the three people only glanced at each other and then looked at each other.
In the box, there is a piece of bone, which looks crystal clear and colorful. From the appearance, it is obviously a human finger.
"Could it be a relic?" Li Yu curled his lips and said.
He was a little cautious at first, but now he was completely uninterested. He closed the box and said, "It's unlucky to have a dead man's bones on your body. Yang Zhi, take it."
Yang Zhi didn't care about this, he put it in his arms with a smile and said: "As long as the treasures pass through the hands of the Sa family, there is no treasure that will not be lost. It's rare for the master to feel relieved. The Sa family will take it again."
Li Yu thought it was a bit evil, "Let Li Jun take it."
Early the next morning, a group of people came out of the valley. After a busy night, everyone looked tired.
A group of soldiers and horses came in the distance. The imperial army instinctively wanted to form a formation. Yang Yizhong said loudly: "Don't panic, the State of Wu has sent people to pick us up."
Sure enough, the visitor was wearing a light green military jacket, which was the uniform of the soldiers and horses of Soochow.
There was such a big movement last night. If Soochow said that he was completely unaware of it, he would be completely deceiving himself.
It is estimated that there is no strength in the border states and counties, so they choose to pretend not to see it.
The Song Dynasty can't blame others. After all, it was the rebels in the Song Dynasty who did it, and Wu Guo cannot be blamed.
After a polite exchange on both sides, we entered Jichun, a small town in the state of Wu. The customs and customs along the way were different from those in the Song Dynasty.
After entering the territory of Wu State, the situation became calm along the way. All the holders of the mission were dead, and everyone was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery of Soochow and hurried to Jianye City.
Traveling eastward along the river, we soon arrived at Jianye, where the Taichu Palace, the imperial city of the State of Wu, stood majestically.
A large group of people met at the city gate. The leader was a civil servant, riding on a horse, smiling and looking very friendly.
"Wu Guozan's military commander Lu Su was ordered to come to greet the Song Dynasty envoy."
Li Yu looked carefully from the horseback. Lu Su was different from his impression. He was a tall and burly middle-aged scribe.
Although he is tall and tall, he looks very kind-hearted, especially when he smiles and looks harmless.
There was still a little distance between the two sides, but Lu Su's words were full of force, and he could hear everyone clearly. Li Jun took the position on horseback. Li Yu explained: "The Zan Military Academy was specially set up by Sun Quan for Lu Su. He was in Soochow
The position is very important, and the leader should not neglect it."
Li Yu nodded. Of course he knew that Lu Su had a very high status. If the Governor of Soochow was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, then this Lieutenant of the Zan Army was the chief of staff of the country's troops.
It can be seen that Sun Quan still values Lu Su very much, and of course he deserves to be valued.
Lu Su personally came out to greet him, and it was obvious that he was full of sincerity. When Li Yu came closer, he said with a smile: "I'll welcome you from afar."
"Is this a serious Taoist priest?"
Li Yu touched his nose and said with a smile: "Does Lu Gong, a world-famous person, actually know about my ordinary tricks?"
"Haha, you're welcome. My Lord has been waiting for you in Taichu Palace for a long time."
Li Yu dismounted and slowly walked into Taichu Palace with Lu Su.
The capital of Wu State was originally not in Jianye. After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang arrived, they suggested that Sun Quan move here from Wuchang.
Sun Quan also followed the good example and established the capital in Jianye. He carried out extensive construction work and built the Taichu Palace as the imperial city of Soochow.
After entering the palace, Lu Su and Li Yu had a casual chat. Suddenly Lu Su said: "When the little Taoist meets my lord, he must not say that Fang La is powerful, just say that he is a group of bandits."
Li Yu rolled his eyes and said: "To be honest, although Fang La is just a bandit, he has quite a few capable men. Moreover, his Qingxi Cave is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If I deceive Emperor Wu, something will happen in the future."
"
Lu Su smiled and said: "I have recommended Gan Xingba as a general. It will be easy to destroy Fang La."
Li Yu sneered in his heart, Lu Su spared no effort to go to the south of the Yangtze River to wipe out Fang La. Is he really anxious for the sake of the Song Dynasty?
From his perspective, there were great differences in the Song Dynasty regarding the borrowing of troops.
Only those with the greatest power wanted to borrow troops. Others, from traders to soldiers at the border, did not want to borrow troops from Soochow.
The territory of Soochow is considered the smallest compared to the other five countries.
They have elite soldiers and generals, are they really willing to do so?
Walking through a pavilion, Li Yu suddenly heard the sound of a piano.
The sound of the piano sounded scattered, and when I first heard it, it seemed that it was scattered and fragmented and could not form a tune. However, the sound of the piano seemed to have a kind of magic power, which made people calm down involuntarily. When I listened to it again, the sound of the piano became sparse and elegant.
A person like him, who has no knowledge of chess, calligraphy and painting, can still be fascinated by the music, which shows the skill of the qin player.
Li Yu glanced at Lu Su and asked, "I didn't expect Lord Wu to be so good at playing the piano."
Lu Su chuckled and said: "Before meeting my Lord, there is a person who wants to meet the little Taoist priest first."
