Liu Liufu's injury was not serious. Although his head was broken and bleeding, it was just a superficial wound. He recovered after some treatment and scrubbing. However, his head was full of damage and swelling, and he could not wear a hat. He could only wear a white cloth.
Wrapped in layer after layer, it looks like the Asan from the Western Regions who occasionally appears in Bianliang City...
After spending the whole afternoon, Xiao Temo couldn't sit still. Although he knew that Su Jin was avoiding him, the incident was caused by himself. Su Jin was just making an excuse. Why did he insist on searching for Song Xiao in the street?
When I was young, I broke into the prison and was kicked out.
I was full of pent-up depression and anger, but had nowhere to vent it. It was not the time to vent my anger. I had to find the Song envoy to start negotiations.
Xiao Temo had no choice but to run to Liu Liufu's room to discuss with him. When he saw Liu Liufu lying on the bed with his head wrapped in white cloth, he was so angry that he opened the quilt and cursed: "Don't pretend to be dead."
Is it possible? Look at you, you look like a woman giving birth to a baby. Are you going to just lie down and do nothing?"
Liu Liufu stood up and said with a grimace: "What else can we do now? He is clearly avoiding us, so why don't we still block him in front of his house?"
Xiao Te finally slapped his thigh and said happily: "What a good idea. Your brain hasn't been damaged yet, so we went to block the door of his house. If he ran away, would the monk still be able to escape from the temple? I don't believe he can even leave his home.
No reply."
Liu Liufu regained his energy, stood up and said: "Yes, I actually forgot about this, and it's not right for us to always look for Su Jin. After all, the chief envoy is the rich man, and that man is looking at
To be honest, we should go look for him."
Xiao Temo shook his head and said: "Can't you see? Fu Bi has no control at all. Everything is arranged by Su Jin. It's useless to ask him. He must have said, 'If you want to talk, you need Deputy Su.'"
After he agreed, he sent us away. Don't you think I haven't thought about this? We still blocked Su Jin's gate. As soon as he appeared, we grabbed him and wouldn't leave until we started negotiating. Otherwise, we
We live in his house, we eat and sleep with him, what can he do to us?"
Liu Liufu cursed in his heart: What the hell has happened? The dignified special envoy of Liao came here with great momentum, but now he actually came to the stage of begging for talks. If this matter were spread back to the Liao Kingdom, everyone would be salivating.
It would be strange if Xingzi didn't drown both of them.
But there is really no other way at the moment. We can't leave, and we don't even have to pay for it. Besides, the Song Dynasty's weapons are fierce. If we don't find out more about it, we won't do it when we go back. Otherwise, the negotiation job will not be completed, and there will be no reason to prevaricate. It's best to
It would be easy to find Su Jin and others to reach an agreement, and then wait for an opportunity to find out how many firearms the Song people had. If they could find out how to make them, it would be a great achievement.
The two of them had decided on a plan. Before the red sun set, they took four of the ten tigers of the Xiao family and disguised themselves again. They repeated their old tricks and left the hotel and headed straight for Su Jin's mansion.
From three o'clock in the morning until dark at Xu hour, Xiao Temo and others hid behind the ancient willows by the Bianshui River, looking furtively at the closed door of Su's house in the alley not far away; the cold was also biting,
The dark night slowly closed like a curtain, and a few people huddled under the willow trees and watched the Chinese lanterns in Bianliang City come on, everyone was laughing and laughing, and the smell of food wafted nearby, making these foreign visitors hungry, full of sadness and resentment; recalling
What happened after Bianliang, especially the series of troubles after meeting Su Jin, made Xiao Temo wish he could burst into tears.
Just when Xiao Te was feeling worried, the four tigers of the Xiao family suddenly whispered: "Two adults, there is something going on."
Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu hurriedly turned their stiff necks to look, and saw the door of Su's house opened. The lights shone out, and they could clearly see Su Jin standing at the door in a silver-white gown, bidding farewell to a man in
A man in official uniform.
Su Jin took an envelope and handed it to the man. The man put it into his arms. The two stood at the door and said a few more words. Although their voices were not loud, they still came over in the quiet night.
Here are a few sensitive words.
"Firearms...be careful...keep them secret...and transport them to Waqiao Pass..."
The two of them only exchanged a few words and said no more. The man waved his hands and said goodbye. He walked out of the alley and headed straight for the Desheng Bridge on Bianhe Street.
The door of Su's house was closed again. Liu Liufu gritted his teeth and cursed: "It turns out that this kid is staying at home, causing us to freeze and starve outside. Chief Xiao, are we going to break in right now?"
Xiao Temo waved his hand slightly, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly grinned and said: "We won't look for him tonight, let's look for someone else."
Liu Liufu said: "Who are you looking for? We have already seen Su Jin himself, why are we not looking for him?"
Xiao Temo grinned and said proudly: "Don't ask any more questions, Erhu. You and your men will catch up with the man who just came out of Su's house. Find a secluded place to capture him and tie him up. Don't talk.
You don't understand the Mandarin of the Song Dynasty, and you'll miss the point as soon as you speak out. Just tie them up, and Deputy Liu and I will go and question you."
Liu Liufu said in astonishment: "Xiao... Ambassador Xiao, are you trying to...? This is Bianliang. If you do this, big trouble will happen."
Xiao Temo spat and said: "You are as timid as a mouse. I am not afraid of you. You are afraid of a bird? I won't spare you if you keep nagging."
Liu Liufu shut up quickly. Xiao Erhu quietly climbed up the river bank with his three brothers and chased him along the street. Xiao Temo patted the grass stems and soil on his body and took Liu Liufu to the bank.
He glanced at the closed door of Su's house and said with a smile: "Boy, you never thought in your wildest dreams that I would be so bold. Let you go ahead with your pride. Grandpa will let you go first."
The four tigers of the Xiao family did have some skills. After a while, the six tigers with their faces covered came back from the front. Xiao Te finally knew that he had succeeded. Several people hurried forward for about two miles and stopped in the street.
On one side of the river, a stone path leads directly to the river beach, probably
Ordinary residents Huan Sha washed clothes and went down to the steps below the river bank; a few people groped their way down the river beach, and saw the tightly tied man in official uniform leaning on the ground under two large willow trees growing staggered.
, his head and face were covered with blood, obviously he had suffered a loss.
Xiao Temo stood still at a distance, tore off a leg and wrapped his face tightly, only exposing his two eyes; Liu Liufu did the same thing, but unfortunately his hands were weak and he couldn't pull away the corner of his clothes after a long time;
Te Mo got impatient, reached out and picked up a handful of black mud from the ground and wiped it all over his head and face, making Liu Liufu's mouth and nose full of mud, and he spit out the smelly mud.
"We have summoned people, you are the first to die." Xiao Temo cursed, and then motioned Erhu and others to spread out and watch.
At night, the reflected lights on the Bianshui River are bright. Fortunately, most of the boats are docked to rest at night, and there are no boats in the river to see. On the other hand, there are many people coming and going on the street on the bank. If they make a loud noise,
The sound will definitely attract people to check.
Xiao Temo took out the dagger from his boot and walked under Lao Liu. He saw the man with a thin face and black beard. He looked about thirty years old. His face was full of panic and doubts, and his body was trembling slightly.
"I will pull the grass ball out of your mouth. If you dare to shout, I will send you home with one knife. Do you hear me clearly?" Xiao Temo put his foot on the man's leg and put the knife on the man.
His eyes flickered twice and he said viciously.
The man nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of panic.
Xiao Temo nodded with satisfaction, reached out and pulled out half of the random grass from his mouth. After a pause and seeing that the man was really silent, he pulled out all of it.
"Good man, spare your life. If you want money, just ask. I have some money and things in my arms, but please don't hurt my life."
"It's easy to say, I am just looking for money from the heroes of Lutoushan. My brothers are not smart, but I have robbed the official. I am offended." Xiao Temo laughed and said.
"It's not easy for brothers to wander in the rivers and lakes. Brother is just an errand boy. Since all the heroes have taken a fancy to brother, it doesn't matter if he gives me some money. He has more than ten strings on him. If it's not enough, brother can go back to the house to get it.
.”
"Hehe, your mouth is very sweet, but you are afraid that you are treating me as a stupid donkey. I will let you go back to get the money, and then you will bring the officers and soldiers to eat them all, right?"
"This... how dare you, I definitely won't!"
Xiao Temo slapped the man so hard that stars appeared in his eyes, and cursed in a low voice: "Don't play tricks, men always commit crimes without leaving anyone alive, but you are an official, so I will make an exception this time and take your life; but after taking the money
Later, the grandpas were afraid of letting you go
Later you will report to the officials to arrest us, so you have to tell us who your name is, where you live, and which yamen you work for, so that if you play tricks, our brothers from Lutoushan can kill you.
The whole family avenges us."
The official said hurriedly: "I definitely won't. I'm a good man and don't worry. How can I be that kind of person?"
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me where you live and what kind of official you are."
The man was quite cheerful and said hurriedly: "I live in Wuqi Temple, Liangmen Corner Tower, Wansongshan, and I am currently working as a supervisor in the Ordnance Supervision of the Ministry of War."
Xiao Temo was overjoyed, but his face remained calm as he said, "How to prove it?"
The man said: "There is a number plate on the lower waist, with the official name and signature engraved on it. A good man can be identified at a glance."
Xiao Temo reached out and groped around the man's waist, and sure enough he found a small bamboo sign. Looking through it carefully under the dim light, he saw the Song Dynasty Ordnance Supervision and Firearms Department was engraved on the front, and the words Wansongshan were engraved on the back.
Xiao Temo was ecstatic and pretended to be calm: "Firearms Department? This is a new name. I haven't even heard of it. What does it do?"
The man opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and said sternly: "Good man, if you want to ask for money, just take it. It's better not to ask about things you shouldn't know, so as not to get angry.
"Brothers will not talk nonsense. If you say it, you will lose your head, and you will lose your head when you hear it."
Xiao Te was stunned and said: "If you don't say it, don't say it. I'm just asking out of curiosity. Who cares about what nonsense the Firearms Department does? Brother Wan, I'm offended. Brothers are tight on money and really need money to spend."
"
After saying that, he reached out and touched the man's arms.
