The frightened, angry, aggrieved, and humiliated Northern Qi delegation, shrouded in this atmosphere, silently set out on the road again.
Seeing the Zhao State Imperial Army being divided into two teams and "escorting" them from the left and right wings in a double-teaming manner, the mentality of the whole group from top to bottom collapsed.
But no one, including Qi Jue, the "leader", raised any objection.
This "iron torrent" of elites can kill more than 70% of the people in the mission in one attack.
In front of the iron army forming a battle formation, the Grandmaster would not be much stronger than a chicken or a dog.
No one needs to use the bed crossbow.
Cars and horses rustled, and a huge "long snake" snaked its way across the land.
We walked from afternoon to evening under the scorching sun. In this hot weather, even in the evening, there was still a heat wave in the air.
Even though the sunset is so beautiful, almost no one cares to appreciate it.
I say almost because there are still people watching.
Song Yu, who was riding a big maroon horse, looked at the sunset on the horizon with a leisurely expression.
His riding skills can't be said to be exquisite, but after his level has improved, he can learn various things much faster.
It's probably not enough for him to fight with a man and a horse while carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, but there is still no problem in sitting leisurely on horseback and enjoying the colorful sunset like this.
To the left and right were Yan Yunxia and Su Chaoyun.
The two masters were loose on the outside and tight on the inside, never giving up their vigilance against Qi Jue and the young man in white robe Jiang Su.
Beware of them suddenly attacking Song Yu in anger.
This "grand, unique, and unforgettable" welcome ceremony was actually a huge humiliation for the entire Northern Qi Dynasty!
Especially the current state is so similar to the shocking scene many years ago...
It's just a swap of identities.
This was a major blow like a bolt from the blue to those members of the mission who fantasized about entering Lin'an Mansion, where they could more happily dominate and display the power of the sovereign state more unscrupulously.
Many members of the mission had previously disapproved of their prince Qi Jue's nonsense.
What about stationing ten miles outside the city, what about having people offer food, wine, and beauties, what about besieging the city...
This is so humiliating!
How could any serious mission do this?
But at that time, they just felt that their prince was too willful and foolhardy, and not many people considered how Zhao Guo would react after receiving this notice.
You do whatever your father tells you to do. Why do you dare to show your face to your father?
Now they finally understand how excessive the previous request was.
An unorthodox mission met an even more unorthodox imperial envoy!
Then I was woken up by a splash of piss!
Truly unforgettable.
However, what made them more sober was what happened next——
…
…
Fifty miles is not far, nor is it close.
If we really drive at full speed under the stars and the moon, we will indeed be able to reach Lin'an Mansion before tonight in about three hours.
However, how could Song Yu, the warm and hospitable imperial envoy, be so rude?
Not to mention that all the "distinguished guests" were already exhausted at this time, and many of them had dry crotches and could not go back to change clothes.
After all, whoever changes will die. If I don’t go, it won’t be me!
The key is to arrive in the middle of the night, why do you have the nerve to bother the people of Lin'an Prefecture to come out to greet you?
So when night fell, Song Yu directly ordered him to rest where he was.
"Make a fire and cook on the spot. Everyone rests where they are. There is no need for the mission to set up tents. After all, they are all tired. Installing and dismantling is laborious and time-consuming! We have worked hard to endure it all night and wait until we enter the city tomorrow. In the Inn, all distinguished guests can have a good rest!"
"Come here, go and set up a tent for the prince. You can't let a noble man like the prince suffer!"
As for others, including the greatest scholar in Northern Qi... just rest in the car.
Soon the bonfire was raised, and the Forbidden Army started to make a fire with the dry food they brought with them. In such a hot weather and in a marching state, it was naturally impossible to bring wine and meat.
But all the forbidden troops, including their deputy commander Luo Dewang, had expressions on their faces that were happier than drinking wine and eating meat.
No matter what I do, I am full of energy and feel like I have endless strength.
Even if they were asked to use knives to chop up the Northern Qi envoy now, these people would definitely rush forward without batting an eyelid.
After setting up Qi Jue's tent, the prince, who had barely said a word since leaving the "welcome scene", ignored others and got in directly.
Lying on the ground, which was only covered with a layer of blankets and was so hard that my whole body felt uncomfortable, I was filled with resentment.
I gnashed my teeth and swore in my heart that I would repay today's humiliation a hundred times a thousand times!
In fact, there were more than a dozen beauties of all kinds presented by officials along the way in the convoy behind. Qi Jue was a lustful prince who loved women, but when he thought of that handsome face, he thought of him turning against her... but the other party turned against him even more. That cruel scene.
The Prince of Northern Qi, who was at the level of a master, just couldn't muster the courage to call those girls over.
"He is obviously an ordinary person, and his realm is far inferior to that of me, but at that time... it seemed that if I dared to take action, he could chop me with a sword..."
"Song Yu, right? I remember you!"
…
…
In the carriage.
Jiang Yong looked at his granddaughter Jiang Tong, who had been silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "You are in the first year of junior high school, and others are in the fifteenth year. We have done too little homework on the Zhao Guoli Department. This young imperial envoy The special envoy is a terrible person. The funny thing is that as of now, except that he is one of the two people Su'er wants to kill, we still don't have any information about him."
Jiang Tong raised his head in surprise and looked at Jiang Yong: "What did you say? My brother wants to kill him?"
Jiang Yong nodded.
Jiang Tong looked shocked: "Why? Because he treated us in such a humiliating way? But grandpa, didn't you also say that we were the first to do the first grade of junior high school, and they were just paying back..."
Jiang Yong shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this. You also know that Su'er comes from a practicing sect and he doesn't care about these worldly things."
The girl had a puzzled expression on her face: "Then my brother..."
Jiang Yong said: "This Song Yu is the person Ye Sanniang favors."
"Ye..." Jiang Tong's face showed a hint of fear, but the next moment, she frowned slightly, "Just because of this...my brother is going to kill someone? If Ye Sanniang says that he favors Zhao Guan's family, My brother still dares to go to the palace to assassinate him?"
Jiang Yong glanced at his granddaughter, who was known as the most talented girl in Northern Qi, sighed and said: "Don't feel sympathy for Song Yu just because he is young and handsome. If this man doesn't die, he will definitely be Northern Qi's number one confidant in the future! "
The girl immediately blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any."
Jiang Yong said: "Back then, I met Li Chaoen and the King of Qi of Zhao State who was completely the opposite of our King Zhao of Qi State... Both of them can be called real heroes. To be honest, the King of Qi of Zhao State is comparable to ours." King Zhao is too powerful. However, even these two people are not as scary as the current imperial envoy."
"Are you overestimating it?" Jiang Tong said softly.
"Ye Sanniang is a big mountain in your brother's kendo field and the biggest shackles of inner demons. If she cannot be killed, Su'er will not be able to enter the innate field for the rest of his life..." Jiang Yong said.
"I don't understand. Just practice and cultivate yourself. Why do we have to aim at killing others? If we can't kill them, we will become inner demons..."
"The reason why the inner demon is called the inner demon is precisely because it is not controlled by humans. It just generates a certain thought at a certain time. In the end, this thought becomes an obsession and affects the practice..."
"If you say so, it means my brother is not calm enough!" Jiang Tong said seriously.
"Are you attracted to that boy?" A cold voice that suppressed anger suddenly came from outside.
Then, the car door was opened and a figure walked in.
Jiang Yong's carriage is very large and spacious inside, and it doesn't seem crowded even with a young man in white robe, Jiang Su.
Jiang Tong glanced at his brother who walked in and said, "Don't blame me. If you want to kill Ye Sanniang, go ahead and kill him. This Song Yu has no enmity or grudge against you..."
"We are an envoy, representing the envoy of Northern Qi!" Jiang Su sat down opposite the girl, his eyes were stern, his face was serious, and his voice was cold as he said: "What Song Yu did today has a negative impact on every one of us in Qi. It's such a shame! How come you are here to go against everyone else and want to speak for him? "
"Don't you care about worldly affairs?"
Jiang Tong mocked, and then said: "If the prince hadn't gone too far before and made those requests, how could he be treated in this way? Besides, if he was scared to death, he could only say that it was his own problem. . You can say that he did it on purpose and was demonstrating, but if you look at it from another angle, people will say that this is a novel way of welcoming, and you can't refute it."
"I won't tell you this, Jiang Tong, just remember your duty! Don't expect things that you shouldn't expect." Jiang Su said expressionlessly and indifferently.
Jiang Tong's beautiful face suddenly turned pale.
She pursed her cherry lips and fell silent, her clear eyes covered with a layer of mist.
Jiang Yong couldn't help but frown and glance at Jiang Su, as if he wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
This is the price.
This is the price to ensure that Jiang Su can get better resources in the cultivation sect, protect his family in the future, and protect the Northern Qi royal family who share weal and woe with the Jiang family.
It is also the price to ensure that the Jiang family can continue to enjoy respect and wealth as the first family in Northern Qi!
In the past dynasties, the daughters of the Jiang family married into the royal family and seldom became queens.
Grandson Jiang Su, the young man in white robes in front of him, is known as the best swordsman genius in Northern Qi!
He, Jiang Yong, was even called the greatest Confucian in the Northern Qi Dynasty and was respected by countless people.
But it is such a family that wants to "contribute" the best girl in the family, sacrificing her life and happiness, in exchange for... what they want!
Being "greeted" by Song Yu in this way was certainly a huge humiliation to Northern Qi.
But who knew that for Jiang Yong, treating his favorite granddaughter as his biggest trump card during this mission to Zhao State was truly and unspeakably...a great shame and humiliation!
