Lu Ji's heart skipped a beat, grabbed the sword on the desk and took a deep breath and walked towards the door.
"Master, look, our residence is surrounded!" The guard was named Lu Zhao. He was so excited that he had pulled the sword out of the sheath. His mother was seriously ill and received the silver money sent by Lu Ji when she was seriously ill.
Only then did he cure the disease. With his monthly money of two cents a month, he didn't know when he could repay it. Since he could not give the master more rewards in the money, he should work harder to protect him.
Now that the master and servant came to Fanyang thousands of miles away, the master may be poisoned by An Lushan at any time. However, since the master trusts him, he will protect him until the last drop of blood is shed!
Lu Ji followed Lu Zhao's guidance and looked at the wooden door. He saw several figures flashing through the sour paper window, and from time to time, the jingling sound of the scabbard colliding with the blade came.
Could it be that An Lushan really had a rebellious intention and wanted to kill him to sacrifice the flag?
No, no, there is a seat in Fanyang City with Brother Tian. Even with his relationship with him, he would never see himself beheaded by An Lushan.
But, if An Lushan had not had murderous intentions, why would there be so many soldiers?
Suddenly the wooden door opened wide, and a group of servants holding wooden boxes walked into
The Jieduan Mansion, the inner house.
An Lushan strides into the study and sees the Khitan envoy walking by himself, and greets him with laughter: "Guests from afar, friends given by God of immortality. You are the spring breeze in winter and the rain and dew in a long time. Please allow me to use it.
The most noble rituals are welcome to you to express my respect for the descendants of God and Wolf.”
The Khitan envoy accepted the order of Khan to go to Fanyang to discuss the alliance, but was left untouched by An Lushan for two days. He was roaring and questioning that An Lushan was disrespectful to the Khitan, so An Lushan sent someone to notify him of asking for help from him.
Meeting him in the inner study made him at a loss for a moment.
As the saying goes, wear thousands of clothes, but don’t wear flattery. This has also been well verified by the Khitans. After hearing the flattery, the envoy was quite satisfied. The clouds on his face gradually dissipated.
He spoke fluently in the Central Plains Mandarin and said: "You are polite, Ji Du, but my Khan's request is not satisfied. I wonder what difficulties are there for you? So I specially took a photo of someone coming to visit."
This was said very domineering. In addition, the Khitan was originally an defeated general under An Lushan. Deputy General Shi Siming was in a flash of anger and was about to come forward to refute him, but An Lushan grabbed his robe tightly.
After several times of difficulty in breaking free, Shi Siming actually swayed his sleeves and left.
Seeing that the scene was so awkward, An Lushan had to smile and said: "Where is this, I am loyal to Khan. But the border has been investigated very tightly recently, and those batches of weapons will probably have to be delayed for a while."
The envoy smiled and said, "Your Lord An is not a pity for me, Uthor. I am afraid that the group of soldiers will not arrive in Fanyang as scheduled if this is reached by Khan."
An Lushan rubbed his palms and sneered, and actually grabbed Uthor's shoulder blades, and picked him up like a chicken: "Uthor messenger, Khan won't talk about it for the time being, but I think you are
I can't go back to Mobei for the time being. I think you have traveled thousands of miles to Fanyang, which must be highly valued by the Khitan Khan. If this matter is done, there will be advantages and disadvantages for you and me. You will enjoy it even more when you return to Fanyang.
There are endless glory and wealth, so I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this bitter and cold place in Fanyang.”
This sentence is both kind and powerful, and Uthor's face turned red when he was said to the pain. He looked at An Lushan for help, but the humble and polite military governor coughed lightly and said
: "If you cannot cooperate with someone, some things will be powerless. You should know that we have agreed with Khan about horses. If you change your mind at this time, wouldn't you look down on someone?"
This Utol is also a worldly and sophisticated person. He was panicked because he was suppressed by the situation. After slowly calming down his mind, Utol had already seen the key to the problem. An Lushan was extremely polite to these war horses.
If I don't accept it, I'm afraid I can't get out of Fanyang City. Although the Khitan is strong, it cannot quench the near thirst. At this time, I am on the ground of An Lushan. Although I am a Khitan envoy, I am still low-key.
For better.
After thinking about it, Uttor changed his humble tone and smiled apologized: "What is the words of the Jiedushi? Khan was just waiting a little anxiously. If the adults could send the weapons to Yudujin Mountain as soon as possible, some people were in
Here we ensure that the war horses needed by the adults can arrive at the military camp of Fanyang City as scheduled."
Seeing Uthor showing weakness, An Lushan took the opportunity to say, "It's so good. You have just come to Fanyang. My family must fulfill your obligations. You should stay in the mansion with peace of mind. I will accompany you in the next day.
Visit this Fanyang City. Although this Fanyang City is not as prosperous as the two capitals, it is considered a top city in this area of Hebei Road."
“So very good, so very good.”
Although Uthor was unwilling to do so, he had to pretend to agree happily due to the situation.
An Lushan patted his hands lightly, and a servant stepped forward. Without further ado, Uthor left the hall with the servant.
Seeing that Utor had gone far, An Lushan sighed: "Siming, you were still too impulsive just now. No matter what, he was also a messenger of the Khitan. It would be nothing if it was put in the past, after all, the Khitans were us.
The defeated generals under his command. But now the emperor is suspicious of me, afraid that we have to raise an army in advance, and now we are continuing this group of horses. Whether it is the Khitans taking advantage of the situation or taking advantage of others' danger, we have to
Lower your posture!”
Shi Siming was a little impatient and complained: "Brother, you are a governor of a town. How could you lose your identity to the barbarians? If you want me to say that, you should reject their unreasonable requests. Now the court has become suspicious of us, we
Put your head on your belt to traffic in arms for them, but they still complained. Just say that the war horses they sent last time were of uneven quality, how many of them could meet the quality they promised? Although the tyrant monarch is now injustice,
I am foolish, no matter how we rebel, it is our Central Plains, why should we bring those barbarians in? If we make a mistake and let these barbarians take advantage of the loopholes, wouldn’t we become sinners of China?”
An Lushan shook his head and sighed, "Si Ming, you have been working with me for a long time, why don't you understand my heart? Now we are showing weakness. Although the tyrant monarch is stupid and debauchery, he is still orthodox.
The emperor, with our strength, can only rashly raise an army with eggs and moths to fire. With the strength of the Khitan, it is also a forced one, and all they want is money and women. We are just temporarily using external forces to meet after the establishment of the Ding Ding Dynasty.
Avoid this confidant trouble. A real man should endure temporary humiliation. Why don’t you understand this truth?”
"But we are from the Tang Dynasty, but we want to show kindness to the Khitans. I'm so angry that I think about it. How can this be done by a real man?" Shi Siming saw that An Lushan said so much that he actually thought in his heart.
Spit out all the time.
When An Lushan heard this, he said angrily: "A real man should be able to bend and stretch. If you only admire those false reputations, how can you call yourself a real man? Siming, you disappointed me too much. It's just a matter of Khitan.
It was quite unfavorable to us as soon as it happened. In my opinion, the plan must be carried out in advance. You should stay in the Jiedu Mansion and reflect on it!"
After saying that, he left with his sleeves, leaving only Shi Siming standing in the middle of the hall.
ps: Well, I always think that it is one thing to rebel or not, and giving up national interests is another thing to do. However, An Lushan seems to be a Hu person
