The five-color ceremony can only be used when the emperor pays respects to heaven, so Liu Wenchun used the three-color ceremony, which somewhat meant sending a gift to the god of plague.
Li Qing saw the gifts laid out in front of him, sighed, picked up a red date, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. This thing is the most replenishing thing, and he can drink more wine and eat more.
As for the lotus seeds and tea leaves, he didn't even look at them and just piled them aside. There were two carts of accompanying gifts outside the big tent, and he even ignored them.
Gold, pearls and jade, which he cannot eat or drink when he is hungry, are not as important as the simple three-color gift in his eyes.
The more barbaric a person is, the more he hopes that others will treat him with the most civilized etiquette. This is some of the customs of the Xixia people.
They are also very eager for precious things, but if you give those gold and jewelry shells directly, those barbaric Xixia people will be angry, thinking that you are treating him as a barbarian. If you treat them as a three-color gift,
As a foil, everyone will be happy.
No matter what, you will have dignity and face.
Ever since Yunzheng made a big fuss in Xingqing Mansion, the Xixia people have not received three-color gifts from Song officials. More often, Xixia people have to take their cattle and sheep to the Song officials' houses.
Give gifts.
Li Qing ate three red dates in a row, and then he was free to smile and said: "Liu Fuzun, a certain family knows your purpose of coming, but you made a mistake. The bandits outside the city are not my subordinates. Although they did
It’s unclear why they put on our clothes, but someone thinks that Lanzhou City is not peaceful at this time.”
Liu Wenchun cupped his hands and said: "General, Lanzhou City is a non-war city in the alliance between the Song Dynasty and your country. The people of our two countries live and work here in peace and contentment. Each of the four peoples can live in their own way. Lanzhou, a city of merchants, can be preserved.
It is beneficial to both our countries.
Liu Wenchun is bold and asks the general to move to Hexi!"
Li Qing nodded and said: "What the Prefect said is reasonable, but what Li Qing came to is unreasonable. He should have followed the Prefect's wishes and left Lanzhou.
only……"
Liu Wenchun suddenly stood up and said: "I don't know what the general's difficulty is. Please make it clear that as long as the general is satisfied, Liu will do his best."
Li Qing waved to Marquis Yu in front of the tent, and Marquis Yu turned around and walked out of the tent. After a while, he turned around again, followed by six armored soldiers. None of them were holding a set of armor and threw it in front of Liu Wenchun with a clang.
Liu Wenchun looked at Li Qing inexplicably and said, "General, what do you mean?"
Li Qing stood up, stroked the six sets of armor and sighed: "Does the Palace Master know the origin of my Kai Hu'er?"
"Of course I got my name from hundreds of battles, just like my Jiazi camp of the Song Dynasty." Liu Wenchun's eyes were already half-squinted, trying hard to control his fear.
Li Qing shook his head and said: "I have seen Li from Jiaziying under Marshal Yun. In the battle of Qinzhou, Li was just a wandering soul under the sword of Jiaziying.
Although Hai Hu'er has experienced hundreds of battles, it will take some time before he can compete with Jiaziying.
After Li escaped from Qinzhou, he wanted to form an army that was not afraid of death. Only an army that was not afraid of death could barely defeat others.
Only those who don't take their lives seriously can survive on the battlefield in the end. Hai Hu'er was selected from among the warriors who fought in hundreds of battles. He was invincible in fighting in Mobei, but it was a pity that he only came to Lanzhou City.
, six people were killed in the battle!
These are their armors. Li wants to ask the Palace Master to fill these six armors with living flesh and blood. Only when these six people are resurrected can Li return to Hexi with peace of mind."
Liu Wenchun was stunned by what Li Qing said. He opened his mouth for a long time before saying: "Your subordinates have fled, how can you rely on the people of Lanzhou City?"
Li Qing smiled and said: "These six people did not flee, but disappeared alive. The last place they appeared was Lanzhou City! There is no doubt about this.
If Li's guess is correct, the bones of these six people are probably rotting in the soil somewhere now. The master is the leader of Lanzhou City. Please give an explanation to Li Qing."
Liu Wenchun gritted his teeth and said: "Since the general insists that the person disappeared in Lanzhou City, please allow the general to allow Lanzhou City to pay for his death with money and silk!"
Li Qing said with a smile: "It is easy to get a thousand armies, but it is hard to find a general. After returning to Daxia, everyone of Haihu'er's subordinates will have the status of a captain. How much money do you think the governor can compensate me, Haihu'er?"
Loss?
Furthermore, does the governor think that Hai Hu'er's reputation is worthless?"
Liu Wenchun's face turned deathly gray and he said with a trembling voice: "What do you think, General?"
Li Qing laughed loudly and said: "Just pay with blood. This is the only appropriate way!"
"What kind of payment method?"
"If the master of the palace can catch the murderer, as long as he is handed over to a certain family, everything will be over. Li Qing will immediately withdraw from Lanzhou and return to Daxia.
It doesn't matter if the governor can't catch the murderer. There are many living people in Lanzhou City. All he needs to do is let a certain family's subordinates go to the city to capture 600 people and behead them. Li will also lead his troops back to Hexi and back to Xixia.
I just don’t want to cause any more trouble to the Master."
Yang Wenchun left Li Qing's tent with difficulty and sighed. He prepared to return to Lanzhou and quickly left Lanzhou with his family. The negotiation had reached a dead end. He simply could not accept Li Qing's conditions. He only had
Dozens of police officers can collect some taxes in Lanzhou City on weekdays, but it would be a joke to expect them to go out to catch murderers and thieves.
No reinforcements came to Lanzhou from the direction of Qinzhou, and no troops came to Lanzhou from the nearby Qingtang. For the first time, Yang Wenchun felt that his coming to Lanzhou City was a mistake in the end, and he dared to put all his hopes on a piece of paper.
It's really too naive when it comes to the covenant.
If Li Qing is allowed to lead people into the city to arrest 600 people for beheading, even if his family is not harmed, the Song Dynasty's Ti Xingsi will chop him into meat paste, and his reputation, which he has cultivated through ten years of hard work, will also be destroyed.
It will be destroyed in one day.
Liu Wenchun returned to Lanzhou City without saying a word, hung his prefect's seal in the lobby, then changed into common people's clothes, led a hundred peak camels, and prepared to walk a little more out of the city while there was still sunshine in the sky.
The bandits had intercepted and killed a group of merchants yesterday, and they may not continue to wait outside the city today.
Before leaving the city, he returned to the government office. There were a large number of Heihu'er armed men standing outside the city. No one was allowed to leave Lanzhou City. Liu Wenchun was ordered to give an explanation to Heihu'er before he could leave Lanzhou City.
As a result, Lanzhou City was completely in chaos. Countless people took advantage of the night to cross the dilapidated Lanzhou back city wall and march towards Lanshan in a desperate manner...
After Li Qing heard about this, he just smiled and did not send anyone to stop him.
People all over the world seem to have forgotten the existence of Lanzhou City!
Yun Zheng got up very early today, took his whole family to worship his illusory ancestors, and then stood in the White Tiger Festival Hall wearing armor.
Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan were granted permission to enter the White Tiger Festival Hall today. From today on, the White Tiger Festival Hall will leave with Yun Zheng's departure.
There are many marks on Yunzheng's black armor. Although they are very slight, they represent that this armor has experienced countless battles with its owner.
There were water stains on the armor, and Ge Qiuyan couldn't wipe them off no matter how hard he wiped them. When he looked up, he realized they were Lu Qingqing's tears.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself. You should also take care of yourselves. Pay more attention to the paper kites in the Imperial College. As soon as a red paper kite appears, take them away immediately. Even if the house is left to the guard of Old Liao, as long as it returns
Here, no one dares to be rude to Lao Liao and the others."
Yun Zheng used his hand to wipe away Lu Qingqing's tears, but he wiped them more and more. In the end, when he saw that there was no effect at all, he reminded Lu Qingqing not to forget his responsibility as a mistress.
I have said what I need to say countless times, and now I am just looking for something to say when I have nothing to say. When Yun Zheng saw that Ge Qiuyan had already tied his armor silk ribbon, he raised his hand and patted Lu Qingqing's cheek.
Lu Qingqing held back her tears, took a dark red double-sided cloak and tied it on her husband's armor. Yun Zheng laughed, hugged Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan, and strode out of the White Tiger Festival Hall.
The monkey and the stupid cow, who were also covered in armor, were already standing outside the door. When they saw the marshal had gone out, they shouted: "The marshal is going out!"
The generals who were standing outside the door knelt on one knee to send the general off to the battle.
This time Yun Zheng did not take away all the family members. Peng Jiu, a strong general, stayed behind. There should be one person to take care of the family no matter what.
Yun Zheng came to the end of the team and stopped, stood in front of Peng Jiu, looked at him and said: "I'm leaving, you know what to do!"
Peng Jiu knocked his head on the ground and said: "I will die before I die!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Don't talk about dead people, it is a good thing that everyone is alive!"
After finishing speaking, Peng Jiu strode out of the door without waiting for an answer.
There was a sea of people outside the Yun Family's gate, and countless people stood ten feet away from the Yun Family's gate looking at the gate with complicated expressions.'
When the gate opened with a bang, the market that was noisy just now suddenly became silent. Yun Zheng looked around coldly, cupped his hands, and then mounted the big green horse and rode in front of the iron guard of the Western Beijing Army led by Liang Ji.
Under the escort, he ran towards the school military field in Dongcheng.
Just today, the fifth day of October, a three-foot-high platform has been built in the school military field. Officials from the Ministry of Rites have sacrificed three animals to the sky nine days ago. Officials from the Si Tianjian have divined the auspicious days of the zodiac. Mountain ghosts are on the platform.
I composed nine songs, and now is the day for the last one.
The mountain ghost composes a song, and the ceremony is completed after the song!
Bianliang City in Tokyo is closed for the day today. Since this glorious city became the capital of the Song Dynasty, his business activities have never stopped for a day. It seems that nothing can change his usual rhythm. Today he finally stopped.
.
After crossing Tianjin Bridge, we arrived at Maxing Street. Silk flowers were thrown down from the tall buildings on both sides, and the entire road was soon submerged. Yun Zheng's war horses stepped on them, and the fragrance was overflowing. (To be continued)
