There was another long silence. When the envoy was a little embarrassed, Zhongyue suddenly said: "I don't know where your country has its borders, where it grows thatch, and what title it honors!"
These words made the envoy confused.
Zhong Yue shouted loudly: "You are so arrogant that you dare to pretend to be a prince. Do you still want to fight against others?"
This shout caused sweat to break out from the messenger's head, and his legs began to feel weak.
Zhang Jue said slowly and calmly: "The well in my humble country actually pretends to be the host. Can you afford a hundred thousand troops?"
Zhong Yue shouted again: "To be honest, what are you doing here?"
The envoy was so frightened that he couldn't say anything right: "Our city, seeing the heavenly soldiers coming here, prepare wine, meat, food and silk, specially come to work the army."
Zhong Yue said: "A village man in the mountains dares to work for the army! I'm afraid he doesn't know how to die!"
The messenger trembled and said: "No, I dare not. A small courtesy is not respectful."
Seeing that the envoy even said "disrespectful", Zhang Noi suppressed his laughter and asked: "Who taught you these words?"
The messenger seemed to be relieved and said a little more eloquently: "I don't dare, I heard it from the market."
"Is there a well market in the city?"
"There are only wells and no market. But when fetching water, everyone gathers together to do some trading."
Seeing that the envoy had completely lost his bearings, Zhang Ye asked, "Who are you, the city lord?"
"It's the master's house."
"Why are you ordered to come out?"
"Just, just a gift!"
"Um?!"
"...to find out what's the point of stopping outside the city!"
Zhang Noi and Zhong Yue looked at each other. Zhong Yue said: "What's the point of having the heavenly soldiers here? Are the people in the city still trying to resist?"
The envoy was very anxious and said: "The city lord has said that if the kingdom has any request, we will sweep the land of our city to be enough, and we will never dare to labor the heavenly soldiers. Our city's grain expenditure is one year, and there are hundreds of people, old and weak, women and children, no less than a thousand." If there is a destiny for your country, I should flatter you." The envoy was so anxious that he spoke eloquently and seemed not to be afraid of any danger.
Zhong Yue frowned and said: "There are some small cities with walls no more than three feet long and a land less than one mile, yet they dare to call them thousands! To be honest, how many stone grains and how many dings can the city lord provide?"
The envoy said: "We have enough food for our young men, but we have to listen to the orders of our superior country!"
Zhang Ye and Zhong Yue were both a little surprised. This man who was obviously shocked by Zhong Yue came back to his senses and spoke much more fluently. The two looked at each other again and said, "Bring up the gift list."
The messenger took out a scroll from his arms. The two of them stared at each other intently. Seeing the scroll softly falling into the messenger's hands, they felt a little relieved.
The school leader went over, took the scroll from the messenger's hand, and handed it to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue and Zhong Yue each held one end and opened the scroll... everything was normal. Zhang Ye glanced at the gift list, and then said to the envoy: "Your envoy has worked hard, and I have accepted the gift. Your envoy will go outside the camp, and together with your companions, they will help themselves to wine, meat and food in the car. After I report to the general, Talk to the messenger again.”
The school leaders came over and took the envoy out of the camp. Zhang He and Zhong Yue sat on the ground in front of the tent and started discussing.
"Why did this envoy calm down after he was already out of control?" Zhang Noi said helplessly.
"Although the envoy calmed down, he didn't have any strong words. He just blocked it and didn't detect anything." Zhong Yue thought.
"But we haven't found out what he said."
"It's okay. He's going to eat now and feel relaxed. If he drinks a few more drinks when he comes, there's still a chance to confuse his mind."
"That's very good!" Zhang Zhe said.
Zhong Yue was still thinking: "Is the envoy really here just to inquire about the movements of our army? Is he related to the assassins?"
Zhang Noi said: "Sir, you must have a clever idea!"
Zhong Yue seemed to have come back to his senses and said with a smile: "If you have any clever ideas, let's talk to him again!" Suddenly he said: "Is there anything to eat? I handed over my grain, and I have nothing to eat." Nothing more.”
Zhang Noi said: "I'm different. How can I give you anything? I still want it!"
Zhong Yue shook his head and said: "Why, how good? Ever since I had a few bites of lunch, I have been waiting until now, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive!" After a while, he seemed to have thought of something again, and asked Zhang Noi with a sly look on his face. Said: "The envoy seems to have a lot of good things there, why don't you get some?"
Zhang Le said angrily: "How to do it?"
Zhong Yue said: "Look at me!" When he saw the school leader and others coming back, he stood up and went up to him and asked: "Strong man, have those people started eating?"
The school leader said: "We are moving down from the car."
Zhong Yue said: "I am just about to find out some news while they are eating. I dare to ask the strong man to lead three smart men and follow us."
"What to do?"
"Nothing else, just making a fire to eat. Just keep him calm and don't dare to move. Mr. Zhang and I will be responsible for any conflicts with him."
The captain said: "What's so difficult about this!" He pointed to the three soldiers behind him and ordered them to set off with him. He also told the remaining soldiers to go back and report their whereabouts, so as to be prepared.
Zhong Yue turned around and beckoned Zhang Le to follow him, and asked the school leader to lead him outside the camp gate. On the way, I explained some precautions to the school leaders and military soldiers. Soon they arrived at the camp gate and saw that the two companions of the envoy had already moved a lot of food, wine, meat and corn and were making a fire.
Zhong Yue stepped forward and saluted: "It's very disrespectful to sit on the ground in front of the door, Mr. Wu. I specially asked a strong man to help me, and I am waiting for you." Turning to the school leader, he said: "Move more and don't treat me badly." The school leader agreed. , two soldiers immediately stepped forward to move things from the car. One person went to the ignition pile, took out flint, and helped to make a fire. Then he went to the camp to find a water jug and went to a nearby river to draw water.
While the soldiers and companions were busy preparing for dinner, Zhang Yue, Zhong Yue and the principal sat on the ground with the envoys and started chatting.
Zhongyue saluted and said: "Everyone is his own master, sir, don't blame me!"
The messenger said: "How dare you! Dare you ask what your name is, sir?"
Zhong Yue pointed to Zhang Yue and said: "Mr. Zhang, I am a guest of Lord Xinling. My surname is Yue, and I am in the second line."
The envoy was surprised and asked: "Could it be Mr. Zhongyue, the magic hand?"
Zhong Yue said: "How can you deserve the love from a friend?"
The envoy said: "Sir, it is false to resurrect dead people and give birth to bones!"... The two of them were polite.
Zhong Yue said: "May I ask sir the name of your brand?"
The envoy said: "The humble name is not enough to be heard by noble people, and he has no family name, so it's okay not to mention it."
Zhong Yue said: "We are just talking about friends at this time. Mountains are high and rivers are low. Maybe we can meet each other someday."
The messenger said: "Xing Er is called Er Dan in the countryside. It's really not good enough."
Zhong Yue said: "If you spend a few more years of corn, you dare to call yourself Zhongwu!"
The messenger said: "I really don't dare to climb high!" Then he said a bunch of polite words.
The messenger said: "This Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhong Yue are sitting together, they must be extraordinary!"
Zhang He said: "I am a low-ranking and unknown person, so I should not be asked to be my teacher. I am a humble person with no literary or writing skills."
The three of them gradually talked about entering Hong Kong. Zhang Noi said: "I wonder where your hometown is, sir?"
The envoy said: "I am a native of Yan, and I have made my home all over the world. I came to the master's family many years ago, and I have never abandoned it. I have kept it until now."
"Where did your Majesty come from?"
"I just arrived at the mansion and I didn't have time to meet you. How could I know this?"
Zhong Yue said: "Sir, with this talent, who did he learn from?"
"..." The messenger was speechless for a moment and froze on the spot.
