But he is a filial child after all, considering that he cannot bear the reputation of an abandoned father.
Therefore, he decided to go to the Fujiwara Kingdom first to sort out the government affairs of the court and clean up the traitors in the court for the leader of the Fujiwara Kingdom.
If he plans the development of the Fujiwara Kingdom in the next thirty to fifty years, he will return.
Can you tell Tong Guan these words? Cai Jing felt that it would be better for him to continue to suffer such a family scandal in silence, without speaking out and embarrassing himself.
However, facing the questioning look from Tong Guan, the wily Cai Jing shook his head with worry.
"No, where is your elder brother?"
"My elder brother replied to the letter, telling me that he frequently killed enemies and made great achievements in Fujiwara Country."
"I don't want to come back at all. I'm really going to piss our family off."
The dark-faced Tong Guan was embarrassed to say that in the letter, Tong Guan was smarter than that evil beast, and he told himself proudly.
Nowadays, he has been called the Evil Ghost King of the Song Dynasty by the soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom whose body is less than his waist.
Whenever he picks up that Buddhist weapon and shovels it onto the battlefield, he becomes the focus of the entire battlefield.
Moreover, he proudly told Tong Guan that he would not be able to survive in the Song Dynasty if he fought against a hundred enemies.
But in the Japanese country, it is absolutely no problem to ride a horse to a thousand. I believe that it will not take too long, whether it is the Japanese country or the Fujiwara country, the legend of him, the evil ghost king of the Song Dynasty, will forever remain.
Is this a good thing to say? This bastard actually found it to his liking. If he hadn't been far away in Bianliang, Tokyo, he would have wanted to let this bastard taste whether his fists were more to his liking.
"The officials have entrusted them with important tasks again. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back at all in a while."
"Now our family just hopes that the incident in Fujiwara Country will end soon. Otherwise, they may find their own reasons to stay in that foreign land."
"I don't know if there is anything worth remembering in that small barbarian country."
Listening to Tong Guan's obviously angry complaints, Cai Jing silently stroked his long beard. That vulgar boy in your family is probably busy killing people and setting fires for fun.
As for Cai's dog, he was happy to be a local emperor there, but he would not be happy to go home and be beaten to pieces.
How about writing a letter to Rokuro yourself and trying to lure him back with soft words?
Rubbing the fingers that had not used a ruler for a long time, Cai Jing had begun to seriously consider this possibility.
But when he thought about surrendering to that evil beast who was planning to sit on his head and shit on him all day long, Cai Jing's self-esteem really did not allow him to do so.

After receiving the news from the court, Yang Douzhi returned to the Imperial City Division and summoned Zhao Aban.
"I have seen Yang Duzhi, but I don't know why Duzhi called the last general?"
"Zhao Abban, how are those carrier pigeons being trained now?" Yang Douzhi asked Zhao Abban with concern.
"I learned in Huidu that after more than half a year of training, those pigeons can now return to their nests two hundred miles away within one to one and a half hours."
"It's just that sometimes homing pigeons are injured or even killed by birds of prey."
"So, since last month, we have released two homing pigeons in groups for every training session. This way, we can ensure that the message delivered will not be delayed."
Gao Zhang had the idea of homing pigeons as early as when he left for Jiangnan and stayed in Jiangnan to take up his post.
After all, it is more than 1,600 miles from Suzhou to Bianliang, Tokyo. Even if it is an express delivery of 800 miles, it will take almost two days and two nights to arrive.
Sometimes, when Gao Zhang wanted to talk to his master about something and increase the relationship between master and apprentice, it was naturally inconvenient to use the eight-hundred-mile and six-hundred-mile express delivery, which could only be used unless there was an emergency military situation.
But if carrier pigeons are used, the speed is probably still higher than that of the 800-mile Jidi, which wastes people and money.
Gao Zhang remembered reading the news that 3,000 homing pigeons were released from Kaifeng, and it would only take seven to eight hours to reach Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, which is more than 500 kilometers away.
The distance from Suzhou to Tokyo Bianliang is only 800 kilometers, and if it is about 200 to 300 miles, a pigeon station will be set up.
It is entirely possible to reach Suzhou from Tokyo Bianliang in one day.
Even though homing pigeons are light and cannot carry heavy objects, there is no problem at all when used to convey messages.
So when Yang Duzhi was ordered to return to Bianliang, Tokyo, after the Zhu family rebellion in Jiangnan was settled, Gao Zhang told him in detail the benefits and advantages of using carrier pigeons to deliver messages.
And Yang Douzhi also knew very well that this was definitely another good project that could easily be rewarded.
After returning to Bianliang, Tokyo, this important task was directly entrusted to Zhao Aban, the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division, to take full responsibility.
Now that he heard Zhao Yaban's report as if he was showing off his merits, Yang Douzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the pigeon station from Tokyo Bianliang to Suzhou has been set up, it has passed the test and is running well.
So this time, the good news is naturally perfect to use this pigeon station to report to the No. 1 Scholar.

Soon, Yang Douzhi personally copied the good news that the officials of the Song Dynasty had discussed with the courtiers on the two very thin silk strips.
After the ink was dry, Zhao Abban rolled up the two pieces of silk cloth himself, and then carefully stuffed them into two very thin copper mailboxes.
The thickness of each of these two copper mailboxes is only about the thickness of a little finger.
After stuffing it in, plugging it tightly and sealing it with wax, he and Yang Douzhi came to the courtyard in a corner of the Imperial City that was specially opened for training homing pigeons.
Zhao Abban called Chen Kuaixing (the name of the imperial city official) who was in charge of the carrier pigeons. Chen Kuaixing tied the two copper mailboxes to the legs of the two strong carrier pigeons.
After that, the pigeon cage was opened and the two pigeons were released into the sky one after the other.
Looking at these two blue-gray homing pigeons, they disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Yang Douzhi couldn't help but look forward to it. He believed that when the No. 1 Scholar received this informative pigeon letter, he would definitely praise the work of the Imperial City Division.
"Zhao Adban, how are the preparations for the carrier pigeon station in the northwest? Duke Zhuangyuan has repeatedly explained this matter."
"You know, don't worry. Now, whether it's Qin Feng Road or Yongxing Military Road, there are already enough pigeon stations, but the training time of those pigeons is not long enough."
"If you want it to be widely used, I'm afraid you have to wait at least three to five months."
"Well, you've worked hard, but it's best to do it as soon as possible, just in case one day, the officials want to take advantage of Xixia."
"When the time comes, our Imperial City Division can grasp the military situation immediately, which will be a great achievement."
"Don't worry, the general will definitely supervise them and won't slack off."
The fifth update is finally achieved, keep working hard tomorrow
