Baotou Bald Flower is terrible, just like stepping into a cesspool and being covered in a stench that you still can't get rid of.
Originally, he thought that guarding and monitoring the Song mission was not a difficult task, so Jay accepted the task without much thought when it was given to him.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the people of Song Dynasty could easily escape from their own control. Not only did they cause a shocking tragedy, but they also openly got involved with Shri Haridiva.
This made him extremely annoyed, and at the same time, he felt a headache. He also realized that what he was dealing with was a hot potato.
From the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to put Qian Long, the executioner who killed his own people, to justice on the spot. This would not only make him angry, but also win the hearts of the people and eliminate hidden dangers.
But the reality is that not only can he not do this, he also has to hold his nose and properly escort Qian Long and others back to the city, and redouble his efforts to ensure their safety.
After returning to the Zhang family mansion where the mission was staying, Bao Tuo Tuhua couldn't help but feel angry. He invited Qian Long to a flower hall alone, closed the door and angrily questioned him.
"Commander Qian, you owe me an explanation!"
Qian Long pretended to be confused, "What explanation? What explanation?"
Seeing that he was still pretending to be crazy and acting stupid at this moment, Bao Tuo Tuhua couldn't help but get more and more itchy and said bitterly, "You traveled without permission and deliberately concealed our country. You clearly have bad intentions and don't take our country seriously!"
"Your Majesty's words are so unreasonable. Does your country regard us as criminals and enemies?" Qian Long asked aggressively.
"Uh..." Baotou Tuhua was stunned and quickly defended, "How is that possible!? Commander Qian and others are the envoys of the superior country, and they are the most distinguished guests of this country. From the beginning to the end, our country treats each other with the highest courtesy. A little bit of indifference."
Qian Long immediately sneered, "Since I'm not a prisoner and I'm not imprisoned, what's wrong with me going out for a walk? Why am I still being charged with bad intentions!?"
Realizing that he had accidentally been caught in the conversation, Bao Tuo Tuhua was upset, but he was not easily manipulated. He still maintained a strong posture and argued hard.
"Of course there is no problem in traveling. You can go wherever you want to go, but at least you should inform us in advance. This is not only to ensure the safety of the mission, but also the respect that guests should have for their hosts!"
Qian Long spread his hands and said, "Taking a step back, I did something wrong in this aspect. So what do you plan to do with Qian?"
This attitude was like a dead pig not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, which made Baotou Bald Flower a little crazy. But if he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't blame the envoys of the foreign country for such trivial things, otherwise it would appear that he was stingy and looking for trouble.
After thinking about this clearly and realizing that the young man in front of me was more difficult to deal with than expected, I became a little more wary.
"Well, let's not talk about this matter. However, Commander Qian must bear the corresponding responsibility for the massacre of my innocent people today. Otherwise, God will not tolerate it and the people's anger will be unquenchable!"
Not counting the casualties caused by being trampled in the chaos, more than fifty people were killed by the Song army's sword. Baotuo Tuhua seemed to be justified in his grief and anger.
However, Qian Long seemed to be unable to feel his grief and indignation, and said calmly, "Isn't this matter already handled by your country's Zuo Shangqing? I also explained the whole story to him in detail, and I believe that Zuo Shangqing will understand the rights and wrongs. Once we get to the bottom of it, it will be clear whether Qian should bear the blame or not, and I have no intention of saying anything more now."
"How can it be that Shakti Haridiva can make such a big decision alone!?" Baotou Bald's eyes were full of gloom.
"Oh, does he have the final say? It should be your country's internal affairs. What does it have to do with Qian?"
Qian Long pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him, but after taking a look at Baotou Bald Flower, he couldn't help but think that the powerful people in the city had always treated the people like stupid dogs. Do they really care about those human lives?
After realizing this, Qian Long immediately changed his tone and said, "Hey, what Shangqing Right is really worried about is that there may be some private deal between Shangqing Zuo and Qian, right?"
"This!" Baotou Tuhua didn't expect that Qian Long would tear off the fig leaf and speak so frankly. After a moment of surprise, he stared at Qian Long and said slowly, "Then I dare to ask Commander Qian if he really has the same relationship with Shili Hari. Did Deva reach an agreement?"
"Would you believe me if I said no?" Qian Long said with a playful smile.
Baotou Bald's brows sank, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, but in my opinion, what Shakrihari Deva really wants is not what you can give, and what he promised may not be possible! So he is kind-hearted I would like to remind Commander Qian to be cautious no matter what decision you make, so as not to steal the chicken but lose the rice."
"Really? I guess, what Mr. Zuo wants, in fact, you don't want it, Mr. Right? The reason why you can't get it is just because you restrain each other and form a kind of balance. However, maybe only With a little external force, this deadlock can be easily broken and a new situation created... Do you really think that today's Song Dynasty can't even provide this little external force?"
Qian Long talked eloquently, and Bao Tuo Tuhua was surprised after hearing this, and pretended to be confused, "What exactly did Commander Qian want to say? Why didn't I understand..."
"You know..." Qian Long narrowed his eyes and smiled like Maitreya Buddha, "Qian is a simple person. Whoever treats me as a friend, I will treat him as a friend. The same is true for the Song Dynasty court. As the saying goes, you don't need a heavy hammer to play a drum, Qian has said everything that needs to be said. I hope that your right-hand minister will think carefully about it after you go back, so as not to regret it in the future."
As he spoke, he walked over and opened the door, "It's getting late, so Qian won't be keeping the right minister for much longer... Go slowly, don't see him off..."
Bao Tuo Bald Flower was full of thoughts at this time. In a daze, he subconsciously walked out of the flower hall and walked through the small garden. He didn't wake up until he was blown by the evening breeze.
Originally, he was worried that collusion between Shili Haritiva and the Song people would be detrimental to him, so he planned to put pressure on Qian Long by raising an army to prosecute, forcing the Song people to fall into passivity, thereby giving up such thoughts. If he gave up his mission and escaped, Champa is naturally better.
But who could have imagined that this dandy-looking envoy of Song Dynasty would be so cunning. In just a few words, he not only ruined his own intentions, but also poured drugs into his mouth...
Stopping, Bao Tuo Bald Flower turned his head and looked in the direction of the flower hall with complicated eyes.
He had to admit that he was indeed moved by the proposal given by Qian Long. However, after calming down, he thought that it was most likely just a piece of cake on paper.
If you want to achieve great things, you can only rely on your own strength after all. The people of Song Dynasty can't give you any substantial help at all, they can only play tricks and sell words.
After thinking that he had seen through the essence, Baotou Tuhua's eyes flashed, and he said to himself, "What a eloquent person, but it's a pity that I won't be fooled like this. Humph, you escaped today, but don't think If you can, let it go, the days are long, boy, just wait for me..."
After walking out of the Zhang family mansion, Baotou Tuhua immediately summoned his men and redeployed them personally to comprehensively strengthen the protection of the mission.
Naturally, this corresponding action was not hidden from the people in the Zhang family mansion, but Qian Long didn't seem to care. After settling the dozen rescued young ladies, he visited the injured sergeants one by one to ensure that they received the best treatment. Good treatment.
Finally, he put the sacrificed Hu Fei into a good coffin with his own hands, and waited for it to be transported back to the country for burial. ..
It was already midnight after all this work, and everyone was able to rest.
For unknown reasons, Sulie never left, and even stayed at Zhang's house.
Although Qian Long and Sulie had become close friends after just one day of acquaintance, they didn't have any long talks and slept together. After all, although Qian Xiaopang's body was round, he was still very straight in his bones.
There was no words for a night, and the entire Buddha Oath City completely faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day and sank into tranquility.
The next day, Qian Long enthusiastically invited Sulier to have breakfast.
The Zhang family has been rich for hundreds of years and is very particular about food and clothing. The meals provided here are not only delicious and exquisite, but the style also generally maintains the Han tradition. It is not very different from that in China, which makes Qian Long most satisfied.
Qian Long ate happily and went into his stomach with a large bowl of quail dumplings in three to five times, but Sulie seemed to have no appetite, and there was still a little sadness on his face.
"Brother, you and Bao Tuo Tuhua didn't seem to have a pleasant conversation yesterday. I saw him leaving with a look of reluctance, and then he sent more troops around, etc.
I'm afraid he has bad intentions and may do something unwise..."
Qian Long was just about to pick up a piece of fish soup and devour it when he heard this. He stopped and looked at Su Liye, "Is it possible that Brother Su was worried about this and stayed in the Zhang family to share weal and woe? Haha, Su Brother is a true gentleman!"
"My wise brother is so complimentary. I feel ashamed to say that my foolish brother has no ability and cannot be of much help. All he can do is share the difficulties with my wise brother."
"Brother Su, don't belittle yourself. You can do more than you think. Besides, friendship is more precious than anything else. Being able to make friends with Brother Su is the biggest surprise of my trip. But having said that, Brother Su can actually Don’t worry so much, your uncle is profit-seeking and unintelligent, and can’t do anything decisive.”
Sulie thought for a while after hearing this, then nodded, "Brother Xian is right, Baotou Tuhua is indeed such a person, that's why my father took the lead in ascending to the throne three years ago..."
Seeing that his worries were relieved, Qian Long smiled and said, "It's not a big deal to save Bald Flower, but the person who set up the trap yesterday was quite extraordinary. Who do you think this person should be, Brother Su?"
"Yesterday was really dangerous, and my life was really hanging by a thread." Surya sighed with fear, and then clarified his thoughts before continuing, "Actually, Brother Yu still feels that it is all in the fog, and it is difficult to guess who is behind the scenes. , However, there are not many people who can control Mokogui and the priests of the sect at the same time. The most likely ones are of course my father, Baotou Tuhua, and Sri Haritiva."
Perhaps it was because his father was involved. Surya looked a little unnatural. He paused for a moment and then continued, "The wise brother said that Baotou was a fool, so it probably couldn't be him, and it was Shilihe." Ritiva saved us in time, and it was probably not him, so the biggest suspect can only be my father..."
Qian Long nodded noncommittally, "Currently, it is true that King Zhan is the most suspected, but what I don't understand is, if it is him, what is the purpose of doing this? After all, if I die in Zhancheng, then the Song Dynasty will pursue the case When he got up, he was the first to bear the brunt, so wouldn’t he have caused the fire and burned himself?”
"This... Brother Yu can't understand it either." Sulie also scratched his head.
Qian Long's eyes narrowed, "Haha, this man is hiding quite deep, but I will dig him out sooner or later. The revenge for causing my brother's life will eventually be avenged!"
At this moment, the noise came from all directions and became louder and louder, as if they were shouting some slogan.
