In a huge and luxurious building in Bianliang City, Wu Yong was sitting there, drinking a small drink, with a contented look on his face.
"Mr. Wu, it would be terrible if the court discovers our identities." A guard next to him said anxiously.
"How could the imperial court discover our identities? I have the country of Goryeo on me, and I have an autographed letter from the King of Goryeo, Wang Ma. The court has now regarded us as envoys of Goryeo, and we can just stay here with peace of mind," Wu Yong said.
"But that country... those autograph letters are all fake!" The guard said with sweat on his forehead.
"Fake? Why do I look real? As long as others can't recognize it, that's fine." Wu Yong said indifferently.
"The two leaders Wu Xuexu, Zhu Gui, and Cao Zheng will definitely be anxious if they don't know where we have gone." Another guard next to him said.
These two guards were sent by Zhu Gui to protect Wu Yong, but they were brought to this place by Wu Yong. This place is luxurious and extravagant, but it is extremely well defended. They are also the "VIPs" who are being focused on. If you want to
It's almost impossible to leave from here.
"When you have dinner in the evening, you can take the opportunity to go out. You don't have to go far and quietly leave our Liangshan mark nearby. This can always be done?" Wu Yong thought for a while and said.
"This should be no problem." The two guards looked at each other and said.
"Very good, then we can stay here with peace of mind. The country has been handed over to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the personal letter from the King of Goryeo will not be handed over until I meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty." Wu Yong said slowly.
"Mr. Wu...you want to meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty?" The two guards' eyes widened and they said in disbelief.
"It's natural! After finally arriving in Bianliang City, if you don't see the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, it would be in vain!" Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Mr. Wu, is it too dangerous?" a guard advised.
"The Governor said that the more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. The more openly and honestly we meet the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the less likely the Song Dynasty court will doubt our identity," Wu Yong said.
The two guards were still very worried, and one guard said again: "Mr. Wu..."
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Wu Yong before he finished speaking. Wu Yong said: "You are not allowed to call me Mr. Wu from now on... You must have forgotten that I am Cui Wuyong, the Korean envoy. From now on, you will call me Mr. Cui."
The two guards had nothing to do with Wu Yong, so they had to say goodbye and leave. It was not until night that they found the opportunity to leave the mark of the Liangshan Intelligence Office outside Honglu Temple.
Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng were very anxious at this moment. They didn't know what accident happened to Wu Yong. It wasn't until early that morning that someone finally found the Liangshan mark left by Wu Yong and his party outside Honglu Temple. They immediately informed
Zhu Gui, Cao Zheng.
"Honglu Temple? How did he go to that place?" Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng were both in disbelief.
Honglu Temple was the place where the Song Dynasty entertained envoys from various countries. When envoys from various countries came to Bianliang, the first place they went to was Honglu Temple, and then Honglu Temple arranged to meet the emperor during these seasons.
"What should we do now?" Cao Zheng also had sweat on his forehead.
"Tonight, Cheng Guan and I will go to Honglu Temple to see what Wu Yong is doing there." Zhu Gui thought for a while and gritted his teeth.
Places like Honglu Temple are extremely well-defended, much tighter than the Tozuo-yuan in the outer city. If you want to enter there, there must be many dangers, so only the two masters Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan can venture in. The rest
Ordinary spies have no effect.
"This damn Wu Yong! I've heard for a long time that he is unreliable, but in the end, I brought him in by mistake! I thought he could make suggestions, but I didn't expect him to go to Honglu Temple! Damn it..." Zhu Gui continued
He cursed and felt very unhappy.
****
That night, the sky was dark and it looked like it might rain.
Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan put on night clothes and headed towards Honglu Temple.
At night, Honglu Temple was brightly lit, with countless soldiers patrolling around.
When Zhu Gui saw this scene, he almost retreated, but Cheng Guan held him back, and the two of them stayed quietly.
After two hours, the lights began to dim and the number of soldiers gradually decreased. Zhu Gui and Cheng Guan sneaked into Honglu Temple.
There were many dangers along the way, and he was almost discovered several times. Zhu Gui broke out in a cold sweat, but Wu Yong was still not found.
"Where did Wu Yong go?" Zhu Gui frowned.
"Hey, look, there's a sign of Liangshan over there too." Suddenly Cheng Guan said.
Zhu Gui walked forward and saw a huge attic in the distance. The attic was still brightly lit, and on the second-floor window of the attic, there was actually the logo of Liangshan printed there.
"Damn it, the defenses there are so tight, how do you get in?" Zhu Gui frowned.
"General Zhu, why don't you lead those guards away?" Cheng Guan said.
"It seems that this is the only way." Zhu Gui nodded and said.
The two of them headed towards the attic. When they were still more than ten feet away from the attic, Cheng Guan suddenly let out a low roar, which immediately alerted the guards in front of the attic. Several guards immediately ran towards Cheng Guan.
At this moment, Zhu Gui had already climbed up the wall from the back of the attic, pushed open the window, and jumped in.
Entering the second floor of the attic, Zhu Gui saw Wu Yong sitting in front of a long table. There were pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the table, and Wu Yong was writing.
As if Wu Yong had expected Zhu Gui's arrival, he turned his head and glanced at Zhu Gui, ignored him, and continued writing.
"Wu Xuexiu, which show are you acting in? Do you know how much effort we have put into finding you?" Zhu Gui gritted his teeth.
"It's nothing, I just want to meet the emperor... I used to be a scholar after all, and my biggest wish at that time was to pass the imperial examination, and then go to Bianliang to take the palace examination and meet the emperor... Since I went to Liangshan, my
My wish has changed, but I still want to see the emperor, and my previous wish has been fulfilled." Wu Yong said casually.
"You... are so ridiculous!" Zhu Gui was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"I'm pretending to be an envoy from Korea now, do you think it looks like me?" Wu Yong said with a smile.
Zhu Gui looked at Wu Yong carefully and found that Wu Yong's current dress was very different from before. Now Wu Yong was wearing a purple robe and a Goryeo official hat on his head, giving people a sense of wealth and wealth. He was no longer
The image of a counselor.
"How did you become like this?" Zhu Gui opened his mouth wide and asked in surprise.
"If you want to pretend to be an envoy from Goryeo, this is how you look." Wu Yong said.
"Do you think the court will believe that you are an envoy from Goryeo?" Zhu Gui said.
"Don't worry, I have already created a kingdom and a personal letter from the King of Goryeo. There will be no problem." Wu Yong said.
"The country needs the jade seal of Korea. Don't you have the jade seal of Korea?" Zhu Guidao said.
"You don't have to worry about this." Wu Yong laughed.
When the Inchon Treaty was signed with the Koryo people, it was stamped with the jade seal of the Koryo Kingdom. After returning home, Wu Yong had someone make a seal, and now it finally has a use.
As for the content of the country, it was naturally made up by Wu Yong himself.
He had already thought about all this when he was on the ship, and there was nothing wrong with the Goryeo official uniform. The only possible problem was that there were too few followers, but Wu Yong had already figured out how to deal with it.
"Aren't you going to do what the Grand Governor ordered? Are you going to disobey the Grand Governor's military order?" Zhu Gui said with fire in his eyes.
"I will never dare to disobey the military orders of the Grand Governor! I have already thought about it. I can bring all the craftsmen from Duzuoyuan to Goryeo on my own without your help," Wu Yong said.
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Zhu Gui said in surprise.
"You don't need to worry about this! Not only will I bring the craftsmen from Dozuo-yuan to Korea, but I will also bring the trebuchets and divine arm crossbows from Dozu-yuan to Korea! I will also take away a large amount of food.
!Everything Liangshan needs, I can get it for you! Don’t worry!” Wu Yong said.
Zhu Gui didn't believe what Wu Yong said at all, but their intelligence office currently had no good way to take the craftsmen away from Bianliang, so for the time being they could only let Wu Yong mess around here.
Zhu Gui has decided to leave here tomorrow morning, and then find a way to take the craftsmen away.
At this moment, Wu Yong had brought out a large amount of good wine and food to entertain Zhu Gui, but how could Zhu Gui eat it?
The more he looked at Wu Yong, the more dissatisfied he became, but Wu Yong ignored him at all.
Little did they know that Wu Yong was in a very complicated mood at the moment: "Others look down on me, Wu Yong, saying that I became a member of the Military Aircraft Department only because of the trust of the Governor. This time, I, Wu Yong, will do the same thing."
Big one, it will be of great use to Liangshan in the future, and let others know how powerful I, Wu, am!"
Thinking of this, Wu Yong's whole body trembled with excitement, and the pen in his hand trembled non-stop.
****
In the early morning of the next day, after washing and breakfast, Wu Yong and Zhu Gui realized that it was raining lightly outside.
The drizzle made the air very refreshing. At this moment, the guards outside called Zhao Mingcheng, the young minister of Honglu Temple, asking for an audience.
Zhao Mingcheng is also a famous figure in history. He is the son of Zhao Tingzhi, the Prime Minister of Chongning Dynasty. He is quite accomplished in epigraphy, stone painting, cultural relic appreciation, etc. Of course, what is more famous is his wife. His wife Li Qingzhao is a historical figure.
A well-known poet. However, there is no Nandu at this moment, so Li Qingzhao's fame is not as great as that of later generations, and her husband Zhao Mingcheng's fame is naturally not as great as that of later generations.
Zhu Gui hid uneasily in the attic, while Wu Yong had already strode out with two guards.
Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly saluted, and then greeted Wu Yong in Korean. He had been a young minister of Honglu Temple for a while, and naturally he also learned some Korean, but he could not speak it fluently enough.
Wu Yong also replied a few sentences in Korean. He had been in Korea for a long time and the Korean dialect was much more standard than what Zhao Mingcheng said.
But after a moment, Wu Yong suddenly switched to Chinese and said: "Master Zhao, to be honest, in my Goryeo court, all the ministers spoke the language of Shangguo. Since I have arrived in Bianliang of the Celestial Dynasty today,
Naturally, I should speak to you in Chinese."
Zhao Mingcheng laughed. He naturally knew about this. The courtiers and nobles of Goryeo had all learned Chinese since childhood, and they often spoke in Chinese on weekdays. Even the imperial examinations used Chinese characters. Although Goryeo had professed its vassalage to Liao in recent years,
But culturally, we still use the same practices as those of the Han people.
Hearing that Wu spoke fluent Chinese and actually spoke Bianliang Mandarin, Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help but praise: "Master Cui, your Mandarin is so good, it's amazing."
Wu Yong smiled and said: "It's a ridiculous compliment, it's a ridiculous compliment, I don't dare to take it seriously."
It was raining lightly outside. Zhao Mingcheng walked with Wu Yong in the corridor and said, "Master Cui, are the robbers you met at sea really from Song Dynasty?"
Wu Yong showed a frightened expression on his face and said: "Yes, they must be from your country! They all spoke your language, and I heard them say something like Liangshan Bo... Fortunately, they only took away the property.
, I did not take away the royal letter from King Guohe, otherwise I would not be able to meet His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said angrily: "The Liangshan bandits are causing trouble to the north. The imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress them. I didn't expect that they are still wreaking havoc on the sea. It is really hateful."
Wu Yong was secretly amused and said: "Master Zhao, I wonder when I can see the Emperor of China? I have something important to report to His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhao Mingcheng said: "I have made arrangements and you can see your Majesty tomorrow. Master Cui can go to Bianliang City for some fun today. I will order someone to take you there. What do you think?"
