Facing Gao Hanlin who came forward, Zheng Juzhong gave some hypocritical words of advice, and finally the two decided to divide their forces into two groups.
However, Zheng Juzhong also had requests, so there was no problem in leaving Zhou Bangyan, an old assistant, to help him in the team.
But you'd better take that Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Young duo, little Gao Hanlin, by yourself. I'm old and have a bad heart, so I really can't control these two weird little ancestors.
Gao Zhang would naturally not refuse this request. He himself needed to keep the scapegoat by his side to feel at ease.
As for Zhou Bangyan, a master of poetry in the Song Dynasty who is famous all over the world, his task is not light.
Since he is responsible for taking care of the musicians, even the Goulan Pavilion Song and Dance Troupe is currently under his control.
In addition, he needs to frequently show his face in various towns in the Liao Kingdom to make his presence felt.
Otherwise, Zhou Bangyan, who once again took office, would be wasting such a good opportunity to go deep into the Liao Kingdom to spy on intelligence.
Originally, Master considered arranging for Yang Douzhi from the Imperial City Division to accompany him, but in the end he was concerned that he was now in charge of the Shenlei Division under the Imperial City Division.
In the end, it was replaced by Zhao Yaban to follow. As for the escort team, after thinking about it, although Liu Qi was younger, he was both civil and military. The important thing is that he knew what human relations were better than Yao Pingzhong.
So Liu Qi stayed, and Yao Pingzhong led fifty cavalry to escort Gao Zhang and others to Changchun Prefecture first.
Yelu Hongguang received the news from the Song envoy, so he would naturally not be embarrassed.
Two hundred Liao cavalry were also sent to escort them to Changchun Prefecture.
Cai Laoliu, the pampered Qilin son of the Cai family, was not willing to ride a horse. He preferred to ride in a car.
But the problem is that his own father and Zheng Juzhong can be regarded as hating each other.
What's more, before he left, his dear father, Cai Xiang, repeatedly told him to stay away from that old guy Zheng Juzhong. After all, my dear father, I am far away in Tokyo and cannot protect you.
Once the two backers of Senior Brother and Brother Zhisheng are gone, no one can be sure when he will be attacked by Zheng Juzhong if he stays there.
Since leaving Rongcheng, Cai Laoliu has really been jolted by his horse and moaned incessantly.
But the problem is, senior brothers Gao Zhang and Na Tong outsmart these two beasts, they are simply heartless.
Even if he was tricked to death with snot and tears, these two guys would still force him to sneak out and get on the horse the next day.
The bumpy ride along the way, day by day, made the fat and strong Cai Laoliu's thighs bruised several times. From the beginning, he was in pain while riding, to the later, he became numb.
Fortunately, after these days of exercise, Cai Laoliu seemed to have lost a lot of weight, losing ten or twenty kilograms of meat.
Furthermore, his riding skills have improved greatly, especially when the horse is running straight forward, it is as if it is carrying a roly-poly on its back.
And after traveling all the way, after passing Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom and continuing north, we can clearly intuitively feel that the population in the north is much less dense.
In the following days, sometimes I even had to live in the countryside because I missed Sutou.
Fortunately, everyone is still young. Gao Zhang has a strong will and a child's wisdom is better than the vulgar people. He likes military career very much and enjoys it very much.
Only Cai Laoliu cried for his father and mother all day long. Fortunately, facing these two cruel companions, he could only wail a few times.
If you dare to be verbose and annoy others, you may suffer another physical and mental torture.
Especially Yao Pingzhong and others, every time at this time, they would tacitly hold back their smiles and stay away.
To avoid ruining Zhuangyuan Gong's good reputation of being kind to others, elegant and elegant.
But having said that, Cai Laoliu is indeed the Qilin son of the Cai family. His tenacity of will and iron bones are definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
Despite repeated defeats, the arrogant and unruly style of the old man has never changed, and his determination remains unwavering.
On the way, not only did they encounter two heavy rains that forced them to be trapped in the city and unable to move forward, they even encountered a flood that blocked the road ahead for nearly five days and five nights. Only then were they able to overcome the danger.
By the time Gao Zhang and his party arrived in Changchun Prefecture, it was already less than half a month before the birthday of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom.
Gao Zhang also secretly congratulated himself. Fortunately, he was smart and decided to divide his troops into two groups at the first time to ensure a safe strategy.
Otherwise, if he and others followed the large army and arrived in Changchun Prefecture of Liao Kingdom, the birthday of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom would have already passed. I can only use carrots to engrave seals, change my credentials, and wait until next year to celebrate my birthday and count balls.
When he was still twenty or thirty miles away from the city of Changchun, Gao Zhang saw from a distance a group of more than a thousand people and horses, heading towards him.
But the swaggering flags made Gao Zhang's eyes light up and he pointed his whip straight ahead.
"Quick, hurry up and greet him, my brother must be here."
As they spoke, the group of people galloped forward, getting closer and closer to the thousand-horse team.
At this time, even with myopia, I could clearly see what was written on those flags, which meant that this team belonged to the Privy Councilor, Xiao Fengxian, Prince of Lanling County.
#####
"Brother, that must be the team of your brother with a different surname over there, right?"
At this moment, among this elite team from the Liao Kingdom, a young man in his early twenties raised the whip in his hand, pointed directly towards the opposite side and asked.
This person's appearance is about 70-80% similar to that of Xiao Fengxian. He is Xiao Fengxian's good brother Xiao Sixian.
"Who else could it be but him?"
Xiao Fengxian stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"My little brother is a very interesting and wonderful person. If you meet my second brother, you will know."
"Yes, Xiao Erlang, the champion of the Southern Dynasty, is really a very funny and interesting person."
On the side, Xiao Tao Suwo, who has now become Xiao Fengxian's confidant, quickly intervened to brush up his presence.
The two sides gradually approached, and they could already see each other's appearance clearly. Xiao Fengxian subconsciously accelerated his horse and galloped forward.
The rider on the opposite side also took the initiative to rush forward to greet him.
Soon, the two of them turned over and dismounted from their horses more than ten feet apart. Xiao Si first saw his brother striding forward with open arms.
On the opposite side, there was a handsome young man with a handsome and elegant appearance. He first dismounted and saluted his brother, and then he smiled happily and opened his arms to greet him.
"My good brother, I really miss you."
"Brother, little brother, I also miss my brother very much. It's a pity that I have responsibilities and it is difficult to have the opportunity to meet with my brother. Now, it happens that we are sending an envoy to congratulate the emperor of your country on his birthday."
"My little brother, I immediately asked to see my Emperor Song, and finally got the chance to see my brother."
"Okay, okay, you are indeed my good brother. It's no wonder that Brother Yu traveled thirty miles from the city to greet you."
