Chapter 39 Diligence

After a while, Mangtai seemed to finally make up his mind. He pressed his hands heavily on his knees and said in a deep voice:

"I will give you a reply after seven days."

It takes almost seven days to ride a fast horse from Baishuang City to and from the imperial capital Changli.

Wang Kuang felt a little disappointed in his heart.

His eyes were dull, but he turned around and put on a smile, nodded and said: "That's fine. I just need a few days to deal with some chores, but it's not easy."

Finally, things made some progress, and the intentions of both parties were almost clear. Mang Tai made up his mind, and immediately called people in to hold a banquet. He also ordered people to call his eldest son, Gu De, and he himself came to invite Shu Jiu.

Corporal Li Xian, at least on the surface, has done a good job.

Shujiu pushed it away.

He always liked peace and quiet, and he only loved books. He was not particular about eating, drinking and enjoying himself. However, Mangtai also cherished his talent and was not unhappy when he heard this. He also ordered people to send good wine and food to his residence.

Not long after, Mangtai's eldest son Gude arrived.

He did not come alone. He was followed by several fierce-looking Jin generals. Shu Jiu recognized two of them:

One is the leader of the red-armored army, a Harqin native from Da Chang'an; the other is the leader of the black-armored army, Mangge from Sota.

In addition to the two of them, there were also several people from Liangjia accompanying them, but they were far away from Gude and did not dare to come forward.

"Senior, why are you out here? Why don't you go in to have a drink?" Gude Nadan saw Shu Jiu from a distance, and immediately left Da Chang'an and Mangge behind, and strode over.

He is about 20 years old, taller and stronger than Mang Tai. He wears a woven gold robe and black boots. He also has a wolf head tattooed on his green forehead, and his hair is braided with five numbers on the back.

Tie with colored rope.

The tattoo on the forehead is a symbol of the nobles of the golden people. Ligers and tigers are the most respected, and birds are the last. Common people and slaves can only be allowed to have tattoos if they are appreciated by their masters or nobles.

In addition, the higher the status of a Jin man, the more braids he has on the back of his head.

It is said that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom had nine braids on his hair, which means nine and five supremes, and the tattoo on his forehead was a lion with golden eyes.

Although the Nadan family is a new noble, they have been favored over the past few decades, and even with their tattoos, they are quite powerful wolves.

However, even with such tattoos, Gu De is far less powerful than Nai's father.

He has a pair of narrow eyes, an eagle nose and thin lips, and a face like a crown jewel. He is actually quite handsome, but there is always a gloomy look between his eyebrows. Although his attitude is respectful at this time, his smile also looks very similar.

Sneering.

Shu Jiu treated everyone indifferently. When he saw him now, he just nodded slightly and called "Young General" and said nothing else.

However, Gude seemed very affectionate and said with a smile: "Father asked me to come and accompany him to the banquet. I didn't expect that senior is actually outside. How about I let someone put the wine outside and eat with senior?"

Shu Jiu clasped his hands, his wide sleeves swaying in the wind, and said softly: "Thank you, Young General, for your kindness. I have to be on guard duty, so it's not convenient for me to drink."

He declined politely, but Gu De did not change his expression and said with a smile: "I will follow the wishes of my senior."

After saying that, he turned back to Chang'an and waved to Mangge: "You two also come to pay your respects to senior."

The two of them didn't know Shujiu. When they saw that the person in front of them was just a Song Dynasty man and a scholar, he looked very literate.

Just ask.

Shu Jiu still looked indifferent, nodded as a return gift, and then walked away.

Gu De watched him go far away with a smile before continuing forward.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared and he said coldly: "Da Chang'an, Munger, are you bullying me and taking my words seriously?"

His voice was not high, but his tone and demeanor were extremely sinister. Compared to Nai's father's sharp aura, he was more like an arrow hidden in the dark. If you were not careful, you would be injured by the hidden arrow.

Da Chang'an had experienced the power of this young boss. Hearing this, he immediately bowed and said, "I don't dare, a villain."

At this time, he no longer looked as brutal as when he was drinking alone in the tent, and looked much more honest.

Munger's temperament is more easy-going than him. Although he didn't know why he got into trouble with Shangfeng at this time, he bowed to himself and said: "I know my mistake, and I won't be like this next time."

Gu De glanced at him coldly, then suddenly raised his lips and said: "Oh, you know you are wrong. Then do you know where you are wrong?"

"Ah... this..." Munger faltered all of a sudden, his two small eyes darting around, but he couldn't think of any reason, and he was sweating all over his head.

Gude didn't say anything, just stared at him lukewarmly, until the fox-face tattoo on the other person's forehead started to shine, then he said slowly:

"Ali, tell me."

Ali is a close confidant of Gude and has always been quite resourceful. When he heard this, he who was still laughing at the joke immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Yes, young general. The villain thought that the two leaders

Party A's mistake was not being respectful enough to the Song people."

When Mengge heard this, his mung bean eyes immediately widened twice, as if he was extremely surprised. On the other side, Da Changan was already busy making amends: "Oh, that villain will go back and attack that Song man..."

"No need." Gude raised his hand to stop him, narrowed his narrow eyes slightly: "Just go in."

Before he finished speaking, he started walking forward.

Da Changan and Munger stood blankly, both filled with doubts.

They were actually a little embarrassed about this young general who was always uncertain.

Marshal Mangtai may appear to be stern, but in fact he is clear about rewards and punishments, and he is also very upright. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he is quite easy to get along with.

That's not the case with Gude Nadan. On the surface, he smiles at everyone, but sometimes you don't know which words or things offend him, and you are inexplicably disliked by him.

He raised his head and glanced at Gu De, who was walking in front. Ali had already understood it. He took the two collar guards and walked aside, whispering:

"The people of Song Dynasty are not important at all. What is important is the Major General's face. The Major General just taught you how to be polite, but you two only managed five points out of ten. Isn't this a loss of the Major General's face?"

Speaking of this section, he raised his chin towards the outside of the courtyard again, with a look of disdain on his face, and mouthed four words:

"Muna Heitai."

Even if people who are inferior to pigs and dogs have some dignity, they are all gifted by the noble Jin people. Without the appreciation of the Jin people, Mu Na Heitai will always be Mu Na Heitai, and he is only worthy of being with the Jin people.

crawling at his feet.

So what if the Song Dynasty man named Shujiu is good at martial arts?

It's nothing more than a dog working for others.

Gu De was both external and internal, with a arrogant nature. His respect for Shu Jiu was always superficial, but deep down he looked down on him at all.

In fact, there are very few people in the world who can be looked down upon by him.

These words were spoken clearly. Da Changan and Meng finally understood and nodded in agreement.
