Gao You gave Bai Shan a jade pendant as big as a child's palm. He said: "This is a gift from my royal court. After we were born, our father asked craftsmen to make it for us. There is my name on the inside of the jade pendant. If you give it to your majesty, your majesty will make it for you."
You know my sincerity."
Bai Shan took hold of it and solemnly nodded to Gao You, "Okay, fifth prince, don't worry."
Gao You also nodded seriously.
Lou Mian, who had been standing quietly by the side, watched their interactions with open eyes.
Bai Shan turned around to see him, smiled at him, and caught a glimpse of his arm, which was exposed by a small part of his sleeve that he had rolled up for making medicine. There were some bruises on it.
His eyes darkened, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He turned around and said to Gao You: "Fifth Prince, Your Majesty likes kind people. When the Fifth Prince sees Your Majesty, remember to be more generous and please His Majesty. If Your Majesty is happy, maybe you can
I will directly grant you an official position and title."
Gao You's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can I please the princess?"
Bai Shan's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said, "If Your Majesty is happy, the Fifth Prince may take the opportunity to give it a try."
Let’s see if the emperor kills you.
Do you really think anyone can be a princess?
Ashina was able to marry the emperor's sister at such a young age because he was already a famous fierce and wise general in the grasslands before he surrendered. He had the talent to govern the local area. If the current situation was not on his side, he would not
He was forced by his opponents to join the Jin Dynasty.
But even if he defected to the Jin Dynasty, he brought his own tribe, soldiers and horses, and brought his own political resources.
The emperor first married his sister to him in order to appease the Turkic troops and Turks who had come to him, and secondly because he liked his talent.
What does Gaoyou have?
If the second prince on the opposite side is willing to surrender, there may be a chance. After all, unlike Gao You, the second prince has military power in his hands, and his management of the Goguryeo Kingdom is also deeper.
Bai Shan pondered in his mind, could he use such a temptation as Master Shang to trick Prince Gao Er over?
Bai Shan quickly rejected this idea in his heart. Forget it, Prince Gao Er is different from Gao You. The other party will definitely not believe his empty promises. If he really asks him to write down the document, where can he conjure a princess for the emperor?
?
And the emperor may not like such a cheap son-in-law.
Bai Shan took the jade pendant and said goodbye. Before leaving, he whispered to the Imperial Guards guarding the outside: "Keep a close eye on the people. If you do anything again, we will detain them separately."
He said expressionlessly: "We are already prisoners, how can there be distinction between high and low? Although the main tent is far away from here, His Majesty may pass by at some time. It is not good to hear the sound of torture."
The two Imperial Guards looked at each other and bowed in agreement.
Bai Shan then left.
After walking for a while, I met Zhang Hui.
When Bai Shan saw him, he was excited and immediately put the jade pendant in his sleeve into his sleeve. He greeted Zhang Hui with a fake smile on his face and saluted, "Master Zhang."
After the ceremony, he was about to leave.
Zhang Hui's heart skipped a beat when he saw him. Seeing that he was about to leave, he immediately moved his steps to block him. He glanced at the direction he was coming from, and after confirmation, his bad premonition became even stronger.
He stared at Bai Shan's sleeves and asked, "Where did Mr. Bai come from?"
Bai Shandao: "Just go away, Mr. Zhang. I still have to prepare for my mission, so I won't disturb Mr. Zhang."
After that, he walked around the badge and left.
Zhang Hui grabbed him, his face changed, and then he tried his best to smile and said: "Sir Bai, you are all going to take the risk of going to an enemy country, why don't we sit down and communicate together?"
Bai Shan tried hard to pull back his sleeves and said: "I will talk to the adults later. I have to see my wife now. You also know that I am going to take a risk. I have to report to my wife if I say anything."
"
"Master Zhou is reasonable and can certainly understand Master Bai. This matter is not urgent." After saying that, he pulled his sleeves over.
Bai Shan pulled his sleeves back again and said, "It's urgent."
If I had known better, I wouldn't have worn wide sleeves just to look elegant in front of my friends. I regret it so much.
Zhang Hui grabbed him and took another look at the direction he was coming from. Seeing that he was in such a hurry, he became more and more sure. So the two brothers put their hands on his shoulders and pulled him to their big tent, "Why are you in a hurry? Mr. Zhou, it's you."
Wife, can she still run away? Let's go, let's be brothers in need. I have some good wine here, take it out to strengthen your courage."
Bai Shan:...He doesn't like drinking.
But he was dragged to the camp by Zhang Hui. He did not let go of Bai Shan and asked his followers to find wine as soon as he entered the tent.
Personal attendant: ...The wine has been drunk long ago. Where can he find it for the master?
However, he hesitated and turned around and went out.
Bai Shan tugged hard and found that he had no choice but to give up. He resignedly sat on the chair and said, "Master Zhang, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Since Master Bai said this, I'm not polite," he stared at Bai Shan's sleeves, "Master Bai just came out from Prince Gaowu, right?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and felt that this matter could not be hidden, so he nodded.
Zhang Hui said: "What good thing did you get? I will give you half of it."
Bai Shan: "...it's just a jade pendant, how can I divide it into half?"
He said: "If Mr. Zhang wants it, just ask him for a copy."
Zhang Hui: "He is not a fool. How could he be fooled by me if he has learned from you?"
Zhang Hui regretted that he was so late. He blamed him for remembering it late. If he had remembered that there was such a prince in the army...
Bai Shan, a bachelor, spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing I can do. There has to be a first-come, first-served basis."
Zhang Hui simply said: "No, if you don't give it to me, I will go to His Majesty. If the inner city is willing to surrender, directly order Prince Gao Er to obey, and the difficulties in Anshi City can be solved. In front of His Majesty, I will also take the overall situation into consideration."
It’s important.”
Bai Shan: "... Gaoyou is a prince after all, and he must have a lot of things on his body. Why do you insist on a jade pendant with me?"
He said: "If you have this skill, you can just go to your friend Gao and get one now."
"But this one in your hand must be the best thing that can prove his identity." Zhang Hui said: "Then I'll go and ask for one, and you can exchange it with me."
Of course Bai Shan disagreed. Friends Gao had already said that this jade pendant was unique to the prince.
He said: "Shouldn't it be him who can best prove his identity?"
Bai Shandao: "You might as well take Gao You directly to the inner city and let him be a lobbyist to persuade the Goguryeo royal court."
Zhang Hui looked at him with an expression of "You think I'm an idiot", "Then why don't you take him to the other side to persuade the second-year high school prince?"
"Because Prince Gao Er is just his brother, I don't know what their brotherly relationship is like, and Prince Gao Er will definitely not be willing to trade half of Anshi City for him." Bai Shan said: "However, there is Prince Gao Wu's father in the city in China.
Mother, uncle's family, and the forces under his command, if he can persuade his forces to agree to surrender..."
Zhang Hui pondered and let go of his hand holding his sleeve.
Bai Shan immediately took back his sleeve, stroked his injured right hand, exhaled and said, "Master Zhang, please think about it carefully."
