"Not only do we want to send the envoy back safely, but we also need to take Ciyuan Pavilion's treasures back to the capital with him!"
The man named Luo Da seemed to be very confident in the outcome of the negotiation and tried his best to persuade his tribesmen. Only then did Wu Dazhi figure out the identities of these people. It turned out that they were all descendants of Chu Huaizi, and they were all Han, but
The place where he lived was captured by the Khitans.
For a long time after that, they served the Daliao royal family, or more precisely, Shuluping. When Shuluping and Yelu Ruan started a war, Shuluping asked them to use magic to attack Yelu Ruan's army.
Probably thinking about the lives of innocent people in the army, the descendants of Ciyuange rejected Shuluping's request and fled to the deserted forest at night. In order to show their attitude, some of the descendants of Ciyuange even defected to Yelu Ruan.
The army, such as Roda in front of Wu Dazhi.
"No! This is absolutely not possible!" As soon as Rhoda finished speaking, a middle-aged man stood up to object.
He is very fat, but he does not appear to have suffered too much. I heard that he used to be a bookkeeper, and perhaps the best eater in Ciyuan Pavilion. Therefore, the fat he has accumulated over the years is even in such a difficult period.
, and has no intention of diminishing at all.
"Brother Xia!" Seeing someone objecting to his opinion, Luo Da wanted to explain, but was stopped by Brother Xia.
"Roda, listen to me!" Brother Xia stood up, walked around the crowd, and then said word by word:
"It's not possible to let them go. I heard that the envoy has a high status in front of the Queen Mother. We have caused such a big thing. Do you think the Queen Mother will let us go? The Queen Mother is negotiating with the Emperor, but who can guarantee that they will negotiate
Will they take us poor people with them? If we are not on the protection list, if we put them back, the Queen Mother will kill us to death!"
As Brother Xia spoke, he looked at everyone, and everyone nodded, agreeing with what he said. Seeing that he was agreed, Brother Xia became more energetic and continued to talk:
"I think the most correct thing we can do is to give the envoy's family a lot of money, and then take the money to defect to the Song Dynasty..."
Brother Xia was only halfway through what he said when Roda jumped out and objected: "Brother Xia, you are violating the law of the country. As a subject of Daliao, how can you think of serving another court when the country is in danger?
…”
"We are Han people, Luo Da, don't forget this fact, so even if we really return to the place ruled by the Han people, there is nothing wrong with it!" The person who stood up this time was the current owner of Ciyuan Pavilion, named Chu Ge, who is a shrewd man
A capable little man, but with piercing eyes, no one can ignore his presence.
"The Empress Dowager Shulu has always been a ruthless person. If she fails to negotiate with the emperor now and Yelu Lihu fails to become the emperor, she must be filled with anger and want to vent her resentment. At that time, we will
It becomes the best person to vent to!"
Rhoda couldn't listen to what they said at all. He shook his head and said with a smile:
"This is originally a military secret, but I'd better tell you. Once the emperor successfully negotiates, he will put the Queen Mother under house arrest. By then, it will be impossible for her to do anything to us!"
Wu Dazhi sat quietly in his own corner. He didn't know what the purpose of being here was. Could it be that he was just to watch these people's stupid quarrels? There were many discerning people here, but their opinions didn't seem to matter.
effect.
Seeing that they could not convince Roda, many men shook their heads. At this time, the woman who had spoken to Wu Dazhi came forward. It turned out that she was Chu Ge's wife.
At this moment, she used a keen sense unique to women to persuade Rhoda: "Rhoda, although you serve in the emperor's army, I also heard that he is very good to you, but this is not a guarantee, and we cannot place our hopes for survival on it.
When it comes to the emperor, you know people often say that being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Maybe in order to successfully negotiate with the Queen Mother as soon as possible, he used us as a bargaining chip in exchange!"
But the woman's words had no effect. Rhoda seemed determined and stubbornly shook her head:
"No, what you said is wrong. I believe that the Emperor's promise and the justice we insist on will be upheld. The Queen Mother will not break her promise to the world, because she was once a role model for the mother-in-law!"
Wu Dazhi listened to Roda's words and suppressed himself from laughing out loud. He is really an innocent person. If he were an insignificant person, his innocence would not have any adverse effects, even if it was dangerous.
, and he is the only one who bears the risk.
But the reality is obvious. This man named Roda has a very important voice among this group of people, and his naive ideas may lead his people to the abyss of destruction.
Thinking of this, Wu Dazhi couldn't help but shook his head. His subtle move attracted the attention of an old man next to him. He had few teeth and his words were vibrato:
"I have lived for seventy-five years, and I have never heard of a high-ranking person who would actually abide by the promises they made. Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to believe in the existence of justice?"
Wu Dazhi frowned. He was an old man who used his life experience to sum up his experience. He was very wise. Looking at the old man's profound eyes, Wu Dazhi searched hard in his memory, recalling the people or ghosts he had come into contact with, and then shook his head helplessly.
Shaking his head:
"To be honest, it seems that I have never really seen commitment and justice..."
Although the conversation between Wu Dazhi and the old man kept their voices very low, it was still heard by the emotional Roda. He suddenly walked to the two of them, and then shouted excitedly to them:
"You can't slander the Queen Mother like this. He is a superior being and should be respected by us..."
Suddenly Roda stopped talking. He kept looking at Wu Dazhi with his eyes. Wu Dazhi moved unnaturally. It seemed that he had talked too much just now to attract the young man's attention.
If you get into trouble because of your own negligence, then you are really stupid.
"Who are you?" Rhoda asked cautiously.
"A lost passerby!" Wu Dazhi said calmly and cautiously without any change in facial expression.
"Lost people?" Rhoda raised an eyebrow, and then continued: "Then which one of us do you think is more correct?"
Wu Dazhi sighed secretly in his heart, Luo Da is really a stubborn person. From ancient times to the present, questions like choosing sides are the most difficult to answer.
After thinking for a minute, Wu Dazhi smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, old people have crossed more bridges than young people have crossed. If it were me, maybe I would follow their advice!"
"Very good!" Roda's mood showed no signs of calming down, but she seemed to be even more excited: "You said it was your choice, us and you, so what if you extort a sum of money? When we arrived in Song Dynasty, it was really
