After greeting each other, Jia Wuqun and the others boarded the carriage, and the bird mounts were handed over to the people at the embassy.
There is no way to enter the city without taking a bird mount directly. Under normal circumstances, bird mounts are not allowed to fly into a country's capital without permission. Especially in wartime, trespassing can easily lead to misunderstandings. You need to report and get permission before doing so.
It was convenient for him to enter the city as an envoy from the Song Dynasty. After entering the city, Jia Wuqun opened the car curtains with one hand and looked at the bustling streets, expressionless and silent.
He thought about it again and again, and finally came openly instead of quietly, and wanted to stay at the Song embassy.
Nanzhou only told him what to do and did not ask him how to do it. He had his own concerns.
Firstly, he wanted to use his identity and background to make things easier, and secondly, he was not sure about the two people arranged by Nanzhou. It was strange that he could rest assured that these two people could protect his safety. It was better to rely on the power of the Song Dynasty.
some.
He didn't want to lose his life over this.
The motorcade arrived at the embassy, and the group got off the bus and entered the embassy. The check-in area had been prepared for them.
After settling down, Jia Wuqun was not in a hurry to rest. He had a long conversation with Mai Deman, the envoy of Song Dynasty. He first asked about the general situation in the Jin capital. The topic naturally extended to the war. Facing this man, Mai Deman tried his best.
The reply can be said to be true. Envoys from various countries are basically promoted by Zi Pingxiu, and so is he.
Speaking of the war, Jia Wuqun extended the topic again, pointing behind Yuan Cong, and Yuan Cong spoke on his behalf: "The seventh princess of the Jin Dynasty took Xipingguan. Now that Chen Changgong is dead, what is the situation of the seventh princess?"
"Speaking of the Seventh Princess..." Mai Deman shook his head and sighed, "She's back. She's been back for a few days. After the Jin State opened the Xipingguan supply channel and was sure of its security, Yin Chucai took the Seventh Princess to
He was released. After he came back, he lived in the palace for a long time and lived in seclusion. He no longer had the innocence of the past. I heard that he rarely saw people. When I went to visit him, I saw no one. Alas, this kind of thing happened to a daughter's family.
, I can understand my mood.”
Jia Wuqun: "Have you read the report sent back by Master Mai? It is rumored that the initiator of this incident is Shao Pingbo?"
Mai Deman nodded: "The rumors shouldn't be wrong. Someone has to take the blame for this kind of thing. Tai Shuxiong is the emperor, how can he abuse his own daughter? Others will not take the blame for Shao Pingbo. It is normal for someone to take the blame.
"
Jia Wuqun probed: "I want to meet this Master Shao. I wonder if Master Mai can arrange it?"
Mai Deman smiled bitterly: "To be honest, sir, one of the responsibilities of Xiaguan in the capital of Jin State is to inquire about all kinds of information and understand all people. As for this Shao Pingbo, Xiaguan wanted to see him before, but he was under extremely strict guard. I don't know.
Sir, have you heard about the grievances between Niu Youdao, the elder of the Zijin Cave of the Yan State? The Jin State was worried about his assassination, and sent many experts to protect him, and he was strictly guarded so that outsiders could not reach him at all."
"After the war started, the security of his residence was relaxed, but he was no longer there. I once inquired about him, but I had no idea where he was. His whereabouts were so strange that even most of the important officials in the court didn't seem to know about him. I want to see you sir.
He, the lower official, is really powerless."
Jia Wuqun was thoughtful, and seemed to understand Nanzhou's plan to explain what he had done. I'm afraid forced marriage was not the ultimate goal, but to force the man out.
This point coincides with some of the plans in his mind.
After thinking for a while, he pointed at Yuan Cong's back, "I want to meet the seventh princess, please let me arrange it, Master Mai!"
Mai Deman was suspicious, "Sir, it seems that you are very interested in the seventh princess?"
Jia Wuqun stared at him coldly.
Mai Deman was alert and immediately changed his words in embarrassment: "Sir, what I mean is that the Seventh Princess lives deep in the palace and I can't see her. It's really difficult to arrange."
Jia Wuqun wrote again, "If such a small thing can't be handled well, it seems that it is not a wise choice for the Prime Minister to ask Mr. Mai to go to Jin as an envoy!"
As soon as these words came out, Mai Deman suddenly became restless and said quickly: "Sir, what I said is difficult to arrange is not that it is impossible to arrange. It is just that this matter cannot be urgent. Let me give you some time to think of a solution."
Jia Wuqun: "Fire Temple!"
"Fire Temple?" Mai Deman was startled. Of course he knew that the Jin State worshiped the Fire God because of the Qiyun Sect, but he didn't know what the other party meant by this, so he raised his hand and said, "Sir, please clarify."
Jia Wuqun: "Master Mai is sitting in the capital of Jin on behalf of the Song Dynasty. Isn't there not even a single person in the Jin Dynasty's palace who can inquire about the news?"
Mai Deman: "There are some. Although the lower officials are incompetent and it may be difficult to find out the secrets in the Jin palace, there are still some maids and eunuchs who have been bribed and arranged to inquire about the news."
Jia Wuqun: "The seventh princess was first committed to Chen Changgong, and then Chen Changgong died. The seventh princess lost her virginity before getting married, and she killed Chen Changgong and left her widowed. The future will be miserable and full of misfortune. Let people spread the word and say that as long as they go to the largest fire temple in Beijing
Worshiping sincerely can burn away bad luck and make the future bright! If the wind is released, she can be lured to come."
Mai Deman was startled, and then he suddenly realized that no matter whether the worship was really useful or not, for the sake of peace of mind when encountering this kind of thing, no matter whether it was true or false, once he heard about it, someone would definitely bring the seventh princess to give it a try, and he immediately handed over his hand and said:
"Sir, you are really smart!"
Jia Wuqun: "If possible, before Blackwater Tower is fortified, you can bribe someone in the Fire Temple who can speak to you in advance."
Mai Deman nodded, "I understand, sir, don't worry, if there are no instructions, I will make arrangements right away."
Jia Wuqun nodded.
Mai Deman immediately left in high spirits. He was really full of energy to do things for Jia Wuqun. As long as he could make this person happy, once he said a few nice words in front of the prime minister, he would probably be transferred back to Songjing to reunite with his family, and
The future is promising.
However, not long after he left, he returned and reported: "Sir, the general of the State of Jin, Guo Wenshang, heard that Mr. Guo Wenshang had arrived and sent someone to inform him that he wanted to visit you. Whether he saw you or not, it is better to rest and wait for another day.
Make an appointment?"
The official position of the Jin Dynasty's imperial edict is not low. Under the three princes of the Jin Dynasty, he is one of the nine ministers. He is the chief official responsible for the exchanges between the Jin Dynasty and other countries. He can come to see Jia Wuqun. Naturally, he has heard about the "hidden prime minister" of the Song Dynasty.
name.
As the saying goes, habits become natural. Yuan Cong took the initiative to stand in front of Jia Wuqun, with his back to him. After feeling the fingers, he said: "You're just in time! If you haven't seen me for a while, please tell me that I am ill and come to visit you in person another day!"
"Okay, I'll go and reply now." Mai Deman said goodbye again, and before going out, he glanced at Wei Duo, who was standing with his hands tied.
I can't figure out who is the spokesperson for Jia Wuqun, but Wei Duo heard the message from the people stationed in Weiguo. He called Jia Wuqun "dumb" and was asked to be a servant by Jia Wuqun.
Wei Duo was obediently standing by. He had heard the conversation just now, and he was a little confused as to what Jia Wuqun was up to. It was obvious that he was engaged in conspiracy and conspiracy as soon as he came to the capital of the Jin Kingdom. He didn't look like a good person.
…
In Nanzhou, the buildings within the newly demarcated streets around the palace have been rebuilt and renovated as soon as possible.
The group of people in thatched cottage officially moved in. Before moving in, through inspection, Yunji once again constructed an underground secret room.
In the secret room, Niu Youdao lingered, checking the news from Jia Wuqun.
The news came from Wei Duo. Wei Duo didn't know that his news was given to Niu Youdao. He thought it was given to Zhao Xiongge. In short, he followed the instructions and reported the situation on Jia Wuqun's side regularly. His work attitude was conscientious and serious.
, there is no way, for the future of the sect, Elder Su Po has made it very clear.
"He actually showed up openly. I'm not afraid of Shao Pingbo's revenge..." After reading the news, Niu Youdao muttered and frowned.
He has no intention of interfering with what Jia Wuqun wants to do. Anyway, the task is given to you and you can handle it yourself. What's more, the distance is too far and you will face various situations that are beyond your reach. You need to improvise and it is inconvenient to intervene.
Guan Fangyi said: "It would be more convenient to use his own identity and background to directly mobilize the power of the Song Dynasty to assist."
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the intelligence information again, and suddenly smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that not only are they forced to marry, but they are also going to be cruel to Shao Pingbo. Do you want to get rid of Shao Pingbo by the way?"
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "Just get the simple things done. Shao Pingbo is not easy to mess with. Does he deserve to cause trouble for himself?"
Niu Youdao knocked the paper in his hand and said hehe: "Because he knew that Shao Pingbo was not easy to mess with, and this move was to offend Shao Pingbo to death and force Shao Pingbo to wear such a big hat... He had learned about Shao Pingbo's situation in detail,
Knowing Shao Pingbo's vicious methods, I'm afraid I don't want to wait for passive revenge... I guess I know I can't hide it from Shao Pingbo, so I just use the power at my disposal to avoid future troubles!"
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes flashed, "Then this is a life and death confrontation!"
"Fire Temple..." Niu Youdao shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, "I just arrived in the capital of the Jin Kingdom and started a game casually. It's very easy to do it with ease. It seems that I really found the wrong person. Haha, look at this guy's move.
The attitude is really that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. Shao Pingbo realized it later and guessed that he would not be able to escape if he took a princess wife back. I wonder how Shao Pingbo would fight him after he realized what he was doing. Now there is a good show to watch.
Got it!"
…
In the capital city of Jin, on Nanling Mountain, the largest fire temple was usually visited by pilgrims, but now it was guarded by officers and soldiers.
At the foot of the mountain, more than ten cavalrymen came escorting two carriages. Jia Wuqun and others got off, along with Guo Wenshang, the general of the Jin Dynasty.
Everyone in the group went out in casual clothes.
Jia Wuqun came to visit Guo Wenshang today. After a chat, he wanted to see the scenery of the Jin capital.
Guo Wenshang didn't know there was a scam, so he was abducted by Jia Wuqun with a few words and took the initiative to accompany him.
After seeing it on the streets of the capital, Jia Wuqun wanted to see the largest fire temple in the Jin capital.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he saw this scene. Guo Wenshang revealed his identity and personally stepped forward to question the defending generals about what was going on.
Jia Wuqun strolled up and listened.
The garrison general replied that Concubine Lan and her daughter, the Seventh Princess Taishu Huan'er, were offering incense at the Fire Temple.
Guo Wenshang was stunned, turned around and apologized to Jia Wuqun: "Mr. Jia, there was something unfortunate today, and you heard it."
Jia Wuqun smiled and was speechless. As he looked around, he glanced at the accompanying Song envoy Mai Deman.
