Chapter 176 Birthday Banquet (3)
Chapter 176 Birthday Banquet (Three)
"Congratulations to the top scholar for high school." His voice was a little low, but he was full of energy and had no polite nonsense. This man bowed his hand to the table and smiled very kindly.
The visitor was Li Yuankang, the appeaser of the Military Command of Fuyuan Town in Xixia. He was not from a family background. He was smart and studious since childhood. He joined the army at the age of 20 and worked diligently for decades. Finally, he reached the level of policing the army. In this way, it is conceivable that this person is not a child of aristocratic families who are easy to deal with.
This time, I came to Daqin for envoy, because I was the nephew of His Majesty the current Xixia Emperor, I was very trusted by the Emperor of Xixia. I also studied Sinology very deeply and even followed a few Han scholars around me. This was very similar to the idea of Xixia Emperor's willingness to appoint Han people as officials. In this way, I became the best candidate for envoys to Daqin.
He said that he would not come up to talk to him as a person. After all, Zhao Shi is just a guard in the King Jing Mansion of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, on the field that day, Li Yuankang personally saw the battle between the top scholar of the Great Qin Dynasty and the warriors of the Jin Kingdom. He was originally from the military and had always loved warriors with great force and had a broad mind. He did not think that the other party was a Qin person and had a different identity. However, it is impossible for people like him to not have a plan in their hearts. After all, Zhao Shi is also from the King Jing Mansion, but King Jing seems to be very keen to form an alliance with Xixia and has sent people to discuss with them many times. In this way, it is beneficial to show a little friendship to the young martial arts of the Great Qin Dynasty.
With such a consideration, when he saw Zhao Shi here, he immediately couldn't help but walk over.
Zhao Shi also bowed and bowed instinctively. He had no good feelings for these Hu people, just as people in later generations had no good feelings for Americans. It is undeniable that this is a spontaneous national consciousness. It cannot be said to be good or bad, because this consciousness may make people extreme and narrow, and may also become a special manifestation of a nation's centripetal force.
Although Zhao Shi didn't like the person in front of him, he was already very scheming at this time. He would not show these psychological activities on his face. He gave a light gift and did not speak.
Seeing Zhao Shi's cold attitude, Li Yuankang didn't care. He still smiled and moved his right hand, thinking of sending the other party's shoulders like in the army, but then he thought of this a little frivolous, so he gave up and said with a smile: "Young heroes are really enviable... Although our two countries are enemies, Li Yuankang is a hero, and he is happy with heroes. This has nothing to do with Qin or Xixia. If the top scholar thinks I speak well, we will drink another day and have this mind and courage, we can be considered a manly man. If the top scholar does not agree, it's nothing, but this spirit is too small. It's better not to make friends with this friend..."
After saying this, he didn't wait for Zhao Shi to answer, and laughed a long time, bowed his hand and turned around like that.
"Grandma, the Western thief is still so arrogant when I arrived at Daqin. Sooner or later, my grandfather took his head..." Zhang Fengju spat on the ground and then turned to Zhao Shi and said, "Brother, don't listen to this thief's nonsense. What heroes can the Hu people have? The so-called banquet is not good. Our brothers can't be fooled by him. Besides, drinking with a group of Hu people with a smell of sheep is not as pleasant as our brothers gather together..."
Zhao Shi didn't listen to his nonsense. Although he didn't like these Xixia people, it was undeniable that this person was quite heroic just now. Whether it was true or false, he was much better than those Jurchens. But these were just thinking about it in his heart. He now considered things more thoroughly. Drinking with the Hu people is also considered big or small, but if it spreads out, his reputation would be bad. He had no heroic plot, and he would not do such stupid things. Obviously, Zhang Fengju's words were in vain.
At this time, a few people came out of the corridor. The sky was too dark. Although Zhao Shi had already practiced the power of Prajna to the level of enlightenment, they did not regard the night as magical as the day. They could only see that these people were wearing official uniforms, but they could not see clearly what official rank these people were, and they did not know which yamen they belong to.
These people were not impatient, but they were not slow. They had already come closer in a while.
The leader was tall and tall, but he did not seem clumsy, and his steps were not rushing, but he always gave people a feeling that everyone was about to break out. Everyone followed him and always lagged behind him and did not dare to walk ahead. It can be seen that this person was quite prestige behind him.
The man came close to him and saw everyone waiting here, but his steps stopped. The few people behind him stopped. At this time, with the light, Zhao Shi saw clearly the man's appearance.
The man's face was pale, with long eyebrows and long hair, straight nose and wide mouth, and quite handsome. However, his eyes shined, and he always gave people a sense of viciousness. At this time, when he swept everyone, his eyes were already staring at Zhao Shi's face standing in front, and his eyes became as sharp as a knife.
"Are you Zhao Shi from Prince Jing's Mansion?" His voice was very sharp, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling, especially his eyes scrambled around Zhao Shi like a knife, as if it was like a beast that saw prey. In addition, there was no sense of respect in his words, but it seemed that this person was really arrogant and rude.
Zhao Shi's eyes shrank, and the hostility that the other party showed was so obvious that he could feel it without even guessing it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked directly at the other party's eyes without showing any weakness. However, before he could speak, Zhang Fengju next to him had already spoken. He was arrogant. No matter what, Zhao Shi was respectful and admired by the top martial arts scholar. The man in front of him was rude to Zhao Shi. Wouldn't he lose his face with Zhang Fengju? He immediately responded, "There are so many strange facts today. He spoke human words. Brother, you don't have to pay attention to it. The more you bark the dog, the less you dare to bite people..."
"A bastard, do you want to live without any rudeness to Commander Qin?"
...
There was a clamor among the people behind the man at this time, and immediately, the outside of Chengtian Gate became very lively.
Zhang Fengju was not afraid, and he sneered across his neck, and subconsciously touched his waist in his hand, but the knife had been taken away, and after touching it, he felt empty. However, he immediately inserted his hand into his waist, his chest was erect, and his harsh words were constantly ruthless. On the surface, he was still worried. This is the palace, and he was really afraid that these guys would be blinded by lard and fight him. No matter whether they were right or not, the charge would be reduced. However, after all, he had a young mind and regret in his heart, but if he was immediately softened, he would not think about it.
The man looked at him but smiled slightly. When the man smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he was like a crescent moon. His temperament immediately changed drastically. If he had said that he was like a treasure knife with a sheath, he seemed aggressive, but now it would make people feel particularly friendly from him.
"Shut up and don't be rude. This is a rare young hero in the Qin Dynasty. It's just a pity that the martial arts top scholar was lost. I am the commander of the Eastern Palace Guard Qin Kejian. We will get closer to each other. Do you think it's Zhao Dutou?"
"Qin Kejian." Zhao Shi had already understood who the person in front of him was. He was his opponent at the dinner. Seeing this, the person on the other side was also full of hostility towards him, and obviously he had to give instructions. He looked at the person in front of him carefully and had to admit that in his opinion, this person was the most difficult type of person, with strong muscles and strong body, and every move was elastic, just like a beast was always in a state of eagerness to try when he was preying on. Although this person was extremely arrogant, in Zhao Shi's opinion, this person's eyes were quiet and gloomy, not as restless as Zhe Qian. These words were probably done on purpose. As for the purpose, it was nothing more than to anger the opponent. This was a psychological tactic.
However, Zhao Shi is an expert in this field. He guessed the other party's psychology in just a moment. This person was either cautious by nature or had seen Zhao Shi's performance in martial arts, so he was very cautious and wanted to anger his opponent at the beginning. An angry person was always easy to deal with.
However, Zhao Shi was so old that although this man was cautious, he was somewhat contemptuous, so he was inevitably a little rough, not to be seen by the Fang family. However, this man's skill in changing face is really great, and Zhao Shi thought he could not do it.
Since thinking of this, Zhao Shi had already made a decision in his heart. With his body thrust, his eyes looked straight at the other party without any concessions. "Mr. Qin is the commander of the guards of the Eastern Palace. He is not afraid to be arrogant. But seeing that Master Qin is quite brave, why not discuss it another day?"
"Okay..." Qin Kejian's eyes swept over Zhao Shi's face, and the smile on his lips became stronger. He said two good words in a row. His voice was already sharp, and at this time, there was a sound of metal friction, which made people feel very uncomfortable when they heard it.
"It turns out that a hero is a young man, but it is easy to lose his temper. The top scholar needs to take care of himself."
"Life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven, and it is not a matter of worrying about adults."
