Chapter 591: First Encounter
There is a horizontal street in the north of Xiangguo Temple, which is called South Gate Street; The name is very ordinary, but on the South Gate Street, there are Taichang Temple, Taisheng Mansion, Zangku and other mansions at all levels, and a branch of the Privy Council, a branch of the Privy Council, which is in charge of liaison with the Liao people, also belongs to a pavilion here.
When Su Jin and Fu Bi arrived at the gate of the pavilion, they immediately felt the difference, in a section of the market near the official post, the Liao soldiers wearing double leather robes and wide leather pants and brown red tasseled hard round hats actually stood guard in the market openly.
Fu Bi frowned, and saw a group of soldiers dressed in the clothes of the pavilion post guards nesting under a wall to bask in the sun, and they were angry; Greeted Su Jin, turned over and dismounted, walked over and shouted, "Are you waiting for the official post guard?" ”
The post guards were startled when they saw the costumes of Fu Bi and Su Jin and the mighty guard of honor behind them, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "This lord, we are the post guards of the pavilion." ”
Fu Bi said in a deep voice: "Since he is a post officer, he is not on an errand in the official post, but he came to bask in the sun under the wall, why is this?" ”
The post guard hurriedly said: "Lord Huiyu, I don't want to wait like this, but the Liao people in the official post won't let me wait in, saying that their own people are responsible for guarding, and I can't wait." ”
Fu Bi said angrily: "Joke, the official post is the official post of the Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Post can't enter?" Do you think that my Great Song soldiers can't protect them? ”
The postman said, "Isn't that what you say? I waited for a couple of words, the Liao people were fierce, and they actually drew their swords against each other, and my subordinate post men were injured by them, but we were few people, and the head of the house strictly ordered not to conflict with the Liao people, so I had to temporarily endure the withdrawal to bask in the sun. ”
Fu Bi trembled angrily, and scolded: "What a brutal Liao people, how can it be reasonable for me to be so domineering in the land of the Son of Heaven in the city of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Su Jin came up from behind, took Fu Bi's arm and said, "Why should the rich brother be angry, this is also human nature, some trivial things, can you make a big fuss?" ”
Fu Bi was surprised: "What? Is this still a trifle? We respect them as guests, the official post on the South Gate Street is the most luxurious one of the five major pavilions in the capital, and arranging for them to live here is to give them a great face, they actually don't appreciate it, and they also injured my official post guard, which is contempt for my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "Dissipate your anger and dissipate your anger, it is indeed contempt, but it is not so, you are not planning to rush in and quarrel with them because of this matter, right?" Besides, the negotiation is imminent, and the Liao people are doing this in order to keep their words and deeds from being exposed, not to mention that if you arrange such a good official post for him, even if you arrange them to stay in the pigsty, they will also drive the pigs out. ”
Fu Bi gasped and said, "Even so, you don't have to hurt our guards, right?" ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "He is not arrogant, how can he make so many unreasonable demands to my Great Song?" Don't worry, let's concoct them slowly, the show has just begun. ”
Fu Bi sighed silently, Su Jin turned his head to the post guard and said, "You are the head of this official post guard?" ”
The post guard said: "The lowly Wang Dehai is the head of the post office of this pavilion, these twenty brothers are all lowly subordinates, and there are a number of horsemen and cooks, but they were all driven out last night, and none of them came today." ”
Su Jin nodded and said: "It turned out to be the head of the royal capital, and the two of us were the special negotiators with plenipotentiary powers from the imperial court, and they were appointed by the imperial court to contact the Liao people. ”
Wang Dehai raised his eyebrows and said: "It turned out to be Lord Fu and Master Su, who had already received the news, and had been waiting here for a long time, and you were here." ”
Su Jin laughed and said: "Otherwise, Wang Dutou is afraid that he will take his brothers out to have fun, who has nothing to do to stand on the corner of the street and bask in the sun, it will be really boring." ”
Wang Dehai listened to Su Jin's funny words, and his tone was like a casual joke between brothers on weekdays, and he suddenly had a good impression in his heart, and said with a smile: "That's, how can you bask in the sun and play, there is a lot of fun." ”
Fu Bi frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" Before he went to inform the Liao envoy, he said that I would come to pay a visit. ”
Wang Dehai hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Yes, I will report it if I am lowly." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and hurriedly ran to the gate of the pavilion with two post guards, but before he could step up the steps, several Liao soldiers stepped forward with angry eyebrows and scolded: "Lu Er, He Sumeru." ”
Wang Dehai hurriedly pointed at Su Jin, Fu Bi and the others and said in a loud voice: "That...... The two adults have come to pay a visit to you, and please let me know. ”
The Liao soldiers glanced at Su Jinfubi and others, and muttered a few words, a soldier grabbed Wang Dehai away, and stepped into the pavilion post by himself to report, Wang Dehai was pushed to a stumbling side, almost fell on his buttocks, and scolded: "Fuck your ancestors, are you so disrespectful to your old man?" The barbarians of the dog days, like brutes, are completely unreasonable. ”
Su Jin laughed and said, "You scold them, and they don't understand." ”
Wang Dehai said in his heart: "If you don't understand, you scold, if you can understand, I don't dare." ”
Fu Bi's face was gloomy, and there was a faint hint of seizure, Su Jin was actually very surprised, the arrogance of the Liao people was beyond his imagination, he didn't expect that the Liao envoy would act like no one else when he arrived in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, it was really difficult to understand where the confidence of the barbarian clan came from.
Wang Mahan, who was following him, had already muttered curses, and his fists clenched.
After a while, the Liao soldier who went in to report came out, followed by a middle-aged man dressed in Liao costume but who looked like a Han Chinese, the man went out of the door, walked straight in front of Su Jinfubi, saluted from a distance, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Hello two adults, I made this polite." ”
Fu Bi knew this person, this person was Liu Liufu, the deputy envoy sent by the Liao State, who was originally a Han Chinese, and there was naturally no language barrier, so he took Su Jin forward and saluted, "It turned out to be Deputy Envoy Liu, polite and polite." ”
Liu Liufu has a pair of small eyes, two faint beards growing at the corners of his mouth, and almost no whiskers on his upper and lower lips.
"The two envoys are finally here, the tea of the envoy and the envoy Xiao is cold, and the efficiency of your country's work is really not very good." Liu Liufu Yin and Yang weird Dao.
Su Jin smiled and said, "I think you guys are quite moisturizing, aren't you?" Chasing people, beating people, and playing prestige doesn't seem to be necessarily boring. ”
Liu Liufu looked Su Jin up and down, and said in a sharp voice: "If the envoy is not mistaken, this should be Deputy Envoy Su." ”
Su Jin was slightly proud, and said with a smile: "It's Su, it's rare that the noble envoy has the heart to know Su someone." ”
Liu Liufu said with a smile: "I just knew, didn't your court notify us?" The rich lord is famous, I have seen it, you look at it, so it is only possible that you are the deputy envoy of Su. ”
Su Jindou was poured a scoop of cold water on his head, he originally thought that he was a character, and his reputation was so far that even the Liao envoy knew him, but he was unexpectedly tricked by this sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy.
"I see, I'll just say, I'm Su Jin, an unknown person, how can my name be listened to by the noble envoy, the two noble envoys are famous people, and they have admired the name for a long time."
Liu Liufu said proudly: "I don't dare to be, but there are so many people who know this envoy." ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, how many of them?" If you ask a few people all over the world, I'm afraid they all know the name of your envoy, and if you don't believe it, we'll know it if you try it. ”
Liu Liufu frowned and thought about the meaning of Su Jin's words, but saw Su Jin turn his head and ask the dynasty beside him: "That soldier, you must know the name of this envoy of the Liao State." ”
Wang Chao shook his head and said, "I don't know ......"
Su Jin scratched his head and said to Ma Han: "Then this brother must know?" ”
Mahan spat at the mouth and said, "I know him as a bird." ”
Liu Liufu's face turned pale, and then he knew that Su Jin was ridiculing him, but when he saw Su Jin ask one after another, and even asked the seven or eight entourages around him, everyone shook their heads like rattles, and none of them knew.
Su Jin turned his head and said embarrassedly: "This ...... I thought you were a famous person, but I didn't expect everyone to know you. ”
Liu Liufu sneered: "How can the name of this envoy be known by such a military market? Is Vice Envoy Su entertaining his envoy? ”
Su Jin hurriedly said: "How dare you, I wanted to pat your ass, but I didn't expect to shoot it too much, I didn't expect you to be as unknown as me, but it was in vain; To be honest, I still don't know what your surname is, I'm really sorry, and please don't hesitate to let me know, otherwise when we negotiate, you call me Deputy Envoy Su, and I can't call you 'Hey, who is that.' 'Let's go. ”
The entourage Song Jun understood that Su Jin was humiliating and mocking the Liao envoy, and they all laughed, and someone said softly: "You don't need to ask the name, I guess this person's name must be surnamed Sha Mingbi." ”
The others joined together and read: "The surname is Sha, the famous pen? Isn't that stupid? ”
Someone else quipped: "Then he must be a humble word?" ”
"Why?"
"Can't you see that? Looking at his appearance, do you know that he is a thousand-knife killer? ”
The entourage burst into laughter and was overjoyed.
Liu Liufu shouted angrily: "You rabble, humiliate the envoy in public, is this the hospitality of your country?" What is your hospitality? ”
Su Jin sneered: "You also talk about etiquette? We respect you as guests, and arrange the best pavilion post for you to live in, but I didn't expect you to spread wilderness in my Great Song Dynasty capital, driving away the servants not to mention injuring our post guards, what do you think of this place, this is Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, not your cattle and horses drowning all over the city. ”
Liu Liufu quibbled: "We are doing this to ensure our own safety, before we came, we heard that your country is rampant with thieves, we have valuables with us, and we have to be on guard; It is difficult for the post keeper of your country to take on this position. ”
Su Jin said: "Even so, there is no need to hit and hurt people, such an arrogant and domineering look, can there be any sincerity at all?" ”
Liu Liufu laughed and said, "Sincerity? It should be you who show sincerity, the envoy will not quarrel with you, after meeting the envoy Xiao, if you can't show the sincerity of your country, I will return immediately, and I will not fight with you. ”
Su Jin smiled and said, "You're hinting at a threat, aren't you?" If you don't fight between words, you can do a battle of swords, right? Do you think that my Great Song soldiers and civilians must be so frightened that their hands and feet are weak? The three passes of our border have already stationed hundreds of thousands of troops, Hebei Zhulu has been operating the defense of Tangluo for many years, the ditches and ponds are densely covered with vertical and horizontal, and your Liao cavalry dares to invade, and will be trapped in the quagmire and swamp, so that you can't come and go. ”
Liu Liufu said disdainfully: "Can the defense of Tangluo also be my Daliao Iron Cavalry?" Millions of male soldiers in my Daliao can sail with a reed, and they can be flattened by throwing into the air, otherwise they can step on it all the way by loading a million soil bags on its embankment, but it is really a joke to talk about this. ”
Su Jin looked up to the sky and laughed: "Anyone can brag about it, if you really have the ability, what are you doing?" In this way, we don't need to talk about it, you Lord Xiao has made us disappear, so I will send you back, since we don't disdain verbal disputes, then we will meet on the battlefield, and see the real chapter with real swords and real guns, otherwise it is really not interesting to talk here. ”
Fu Bi was stunned, and even made his eyes, Su Jin pretended not to know, and Fu Bi was not good at opposing Su Jin's words in person, so he rubbed his hands anxiously.
Liu Liufu was secretly surprised, he didn't expect the Song people to be so tough, and he didn't know if it was a bluff, or if he had already discovered his hole cards.
He had the intention to leave, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, and when he came, the emperor had an explanation, this time it was just intimidation, and knocking a bamboo bar was the goal, but he didn't want to fight Song Guo to the death, so he went back without talking about it, and the errand must not be handed over.
Moreover, Chief Envoy Xiao was not present, and he had not yet spoken, so he, the deputy envoy, did not dare to make any practical decisions; Seeing the other party's deputy envoy's words vibrating, Fu Bi, who was the main envoy, didn't say a word, and the priorities were completely reversed, Liu Liufu was a little envious of Su Jin.
