Wanyan Huonv's eighth arrow failed, and she came to Wanyanchang very frustrated, "This is a humble and incompetent position, and I have discredited the Marshal!"
Wan Yanchang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry! He can't win this arrow."
Wanyan Huonu was startled, wondering what the coach meant by this?
He hesitated for a long time and said: "Marshal Du, it doesn't matter if you lose here. You will win back in the battlefield because of your humble position. It's just your small actions that will make the Han people laugh."
Wan Yanchang put his hands behind his hands and smiled proudly, "We Jurchens don't know how to make small moves. If it's an internal strife among the Han people, it has nothing to do with us."
It was Chen Qing's turn to come on stage. He took a deep look at the incense head in the distance and nodded to Liu Qiong. Liu Qiong stepped forward and covered his eyes with a black cloth.
Chen Qing stood in front of the line holding a far bow in his hand, motionless.
There was silence all around. Everyone around held their breath and stared at Chen Qing nervously.
Just a dozen steps behind Chen Qing, Wang Bo was holding a cup of tea in his hand, staring at Chen Qing's hand without blinking. The tea had already gone cold, but he had no intention of drinking it. He was just waiting for the last moment.
At the critical moment, let the tea cup fall to the ground.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in front of him, and before he could react, the teacup in his hand had been taken away.
Wang Bo was caught off guard. When he saw that the person in front of him was Hu Yantong, he suddenly became furious and shouted: "What do you want to do?"
His voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. Hu Yantong wanted to kill this bastard with a knife. He knocked Wang Bo to the ground with one punch and covered Wang Bo's mouth with force to prevent him from shouting.
, Wang Bo struggled desperately.
At this time, seven or eight businessmen swarmed up and held Wang Bo tightly. Wang Bo screamed, but he couldn't make a sound.
Chen Qing, however, was calm and unfazed. He slowly drew out an arrow, opened the bow, drew the bow perfectly, and shot out an arrow. The arrow was like lightning, and the sharp arrow tip flew through the air like lightning, and arrived at Xiangtou Fire.
At that moment, the incense stick was shot away...
Wan Yanhuo Nu closed her eyes in pain. The moment Chen Qing shot the arrow, he knew he had lost.
There were thunderous cheers all around, and hundreds of guests hugged each other and jumped up and down excitedly. Hu Yantong also let go of Wang Bo. Wang Bo lay on the ground, his heart bleeding with hatred, and he failed!
"What a Hu Yantong, let's see how I deal with you in the future!"
Wan Yanchang's expression was very ugly, but in the blink of an eye he smiled hypocritically again, "General Chen, this friendly archery match went well, which means that the relationship between our two countries, Jin and Song, will have a good start."
Chen Qing smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Supervisor Wanyan, for making me a windfall."
Wan Yanchang took a deep look at Chen Qing and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
He turned around and left with a dozen golden soldiers. Wang Bo hesitated and followed quickly.
After walking out of Fengle Building, Wan Yanchang looked at the sky with his hands behind his hands and said coldly: "Huo Nu, do you want Chen Qing's head?"
Wan Yanhuo Nu understood what the marshal meant and quickly bowed and said: "In a humble position, I would rather take his life on the battlefield."
Wan Yanchang shook his head, "This is the Wolf Lord's wish. It's not up to you or me to decide."
He turned back to Wang Bo and said, "Please make arrangements with your uncle. I want to see him tonight."
...........
Yesterday's birthday banquet really made Lu Yihao a little tired. Today happened to be a holiday, so he had a good rest at home.
At night, Lu Yihao was sitting in his study reading. At this time, a maid reported at the door, "Master, there is a young guest named Chen Qing outside. He said he has something urgent and wants to see the master!"
"Chen Qing?"
It really surprised Lu Yihao that Chen Qing came to visit him so late.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Let him wait for a moment, I'll be there right away."
After a pause, he said again: "Ask the eldest son to accompany you!"
The eldest son, Lu Jin, is the eldest son of Lu Yihao. He is currently the governor of Xinzhou and rushed back to Lin'an for his father's sixtieth birthday.
Lu Yihao changed his clothes and then walked to the living room calmly.
As he walked up the steps, he saw his eldest son Lu Jin in the living room chatting with Chen Qing. Lu Yihao laughed and said, "General Chen, you have been waiting for a long time!"
Chen Qing and Lu Jin stood up quickly. Chen Qing said apologetically: "I came here uninvited. It's really urgent and I'm disturbing my husband's rest!"
"It's okay if it's an emergency!"
Lu Yihao turned his head and found a bronze Buddha placed on the table. When he looked carefully, his expression changed drastically, "Is this...could this be the Golden Medicine Master Buddha of Emperor Shenzong?"
Lu Yihao's mother is a Buddhist. He has seen this Buddha several times and was deeply impressed.
Chen Qing nodded, "That's right, it's the golden Buddha enshrined by Emperor Shenzong."
"But...it should fall into the hands of the Jin people. Where did you get it from?"
"This Buddha was indeed acquired by the Jin Man. To be precise, it fell into the hands of Wan Yanchang. I was lucky enough to win it back from Wan Yanchang today."
Chen Qing told Lu Yihao in detail what happened in Fengle Building tonight.
Lu Yihao was so excited that he could not sit still. He stood up again and came to the golden Buddha to take a closer look. After a while, he sighed: "I didn't expect this Buddha to come back again. Thanks to General Chen for being brave and resourceful! I wonder how you plan to deal with it?"
He looked at Chen Qing expectantly.
Chen Qing said calmly: "I sent it to Lu Xianggong's house, so I didn't intend to take possession of it. Let it return to its original owner!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Lu Yihao said the word "good" three times in a row, "It's rare that General Chen is so loyal and patriotic. I will definitely report it to the emperor and ask the emperor to reward you well and not let you suffer losses in vain."
Chen Qing knew that tonight's gambling match would inevitably reach the ears of the emperor. He could not own this golden Buddha. Instead of letting the emperor be dissatisfied with him, he might as well be a favor and return it to the palace.
Chen Qing sat down and asked again: "What is Wan Yanchang doing in Lin'an?"
"They came here mainly for two things. One is to stop the war in the Jianghuai area. They probably want to concentrate their forces to attack Sichuan and Shaanxi. The officials and I are aware of this. The second thing has something to do with you."
"Is it related to me?"
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because of Wanyan Lou's room?"
Lu Yihao nodded, "The chief of the Kingdom of Jin wanted to take back Wanyan Lou's head, so Wanyanchang came here this time and specially brought back the two princesses from the official family."
Zhao Gou had five daughters in total. They were all kidnapped and went north. All five daughters were only three or four years old. As a result, three of them died of illness on the way. In the end, only the four-year-old eldest daughter Zhao Foyou and the second daughter Zhao Shenyou survived. They should now be
He is eight years old.
"Is the head in Wanyan Lou's room still there?"
"It's still there. It's buried in Baihe Temple at the western foot of Phoenix Mountain. The officials were very excited and have already ordered Honglu Temple to exchange it."
Chen Qing was also very happy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that at the end of Wanyan Lou's chamber, the head would still play some role."
"Yes! Just for this reason, the officials are very grateful to you."
Lu Yihao asked again: "Have General Chen's graduation procedures been completed?"
"I have a day off today, and the Ministry of War asked me to handle it tomorrow."
"By the way, I even forgot that today is the morning off."
Lu Yihao chuckled, stroking his beard and looking at Chen Qing and asked, "How is the situation at home?"
Chen Qing shook his head, "Both my parents died in the war."
"What about my wife and children?"
"The younger generation is not yet married."
"You are twenty-four years old and you haven't considered getting married yet? Or are you already engaged?"
Chen Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, my humble position has not been stabilized, so I don't consider personal matters for the time being."
Lu Yihao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My granddaughter is also a married woman, so she is very suitable for you. In fact, you also met her yesterday. If you don't dislike her, I would like to be a matchmaker for you."
Chen Qing immediately thought of the extremely gentle and graceful girl yesterday. Later, Chen Qing also knew that she was definitely not a maid, and her clothes were wrong. She should be Lu Yihao's junior. The girl was not only dignified and beautiful, but also had an extremely gentle temperament. Chen Qing
I was also a little excited.
After a while, Chen Qing said: "It is my blessing to be favored by Xianggong Lu. However, I will leave Lin'an in the next two days. I don't know when I will be able to come back. I'm afraid it will delay Miss Lu..."
"It doesn't matter. If you can wait a year or two, let's discuss this matter in the long run!"
Chen Qing stood up to say goodbye, and Lu Yihao asked his eldest son Lu Jin to escort him out of the house for him.
After a while, Lu Jin hurried back, walked into the lobby and asked, "Father, do you want to give Xiu'er to him?"
Lu Yihao said indifferently: "Isn't he suitable? To become the envoy of Qinzhou at such a young age, or do you want to give your daughter to a dandy like Wang Bo?"
"It's not that I think he is pretty good, but...what if there is news about Mingzhong?"
Lu Yihao's eldest granddaughter, Lu Xiu, gave a small promise to Zhang Shuye's grandson Zhang Mingzhong. However, during the Jingkang Rebellion, Zhang Shuye's family was kidnapped and headed north. Zhang Shuye committed suicide on the way, and there was no news about his descendants.
Lu Yihao waved his hand, "Now the Jin Dynasty is strong and the Song Dynasty is weak. The kidnapped people don't know how long it will be before they want to come back. That will only delay Xiu'er. Besides, Xiu'er himself also falls in love with Chen Qing. The previous engagement is over. Don't do it anymore."
mentioned."
"Father, Chen Qing's attitude is not clear either!"
Lu Yihao stroked his beard and smiled slyly: "Don't you see that he is already tempted?"
