Chapter 96 Escort
Time flies, and inadvertently, the Battle of Langkou Mountain has been over a year. To be precise, it should be nearly two months a year.
According to the agreement, Gongsun Weiqing should have been let go, but the alliance with Changguo has not been settled, and Princess Jinglu's disappearance has occurred, so no one has been dealt with.
Now that Princess Jinglu has returned safely, the matter of alliance has been settled, so naturally it is necessary to deal with this matter.
When the king of Ji Kingdom arrived, Yang Fanhai was a little surprised. Looking at the minister who was proclaiming the imperial edict in front of him, he finally couldn't help asking: "Gongsun Weiqing wants to leave by himself, why do you want me to send him away from Beijing?"
The minister announced the imperial edict hurriedly said, "General Yang doesn't know anything. It's not that the king insists on asking you to send him to someone, but that the eldest prince of the Xiong Kingdom heard that you were in Kyoto and asked you to send him."
"Although he has been a prisoner for a year, he is the eldest prince of the Youxiong Kingdom after all, and the eldest king still thinks that he can resolve the relationship. Since he has this request, he can only agree."
Then he said softly: "But in my opinion, it is probably not that easy to resolve the resentment of this great prince of Youxiong Kingdom. I heard that what he wanted to see most was Xu Fan who kidnapped him with your general. However, General Xu was no longer Kyoto, so he had to give up."
The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's rank, let alone the ministers who proclaimed the imperial edict. Although they did not have very high official rank, they were close ministers of the king and knew many things that others did not know.
Generally, people who receive the imperial edicts find ways to curry favor with these people. Yang Fanhai doesn't know these official rules and has no intention of currying favor with them at all. However, the ministers who announce the imperial edict dare not act rashly, knowing that the person in front of him has become the most popular person in Kyoto.
Not to mention that the other party saved Princess Jinglu, just because of the rumor that this person's skills will definitely be a first-class general in Ji Country in the future, and I am afraid that he will not be inferior to Qi Shaohu.
Especially the man who can attack and pay homage to the king at any time means that this man who entered Kyoto for the first time has become a person who can speak in front of the king. This alone is enough to make everyone jealous.
"The great prince is the same. Just leave. Why do you even call me to take a look?" Yang Fanhai shook his head, but he still answered the order to thank him.
The Minister of the Imperial Palace was not in a hurry to leave and asked, "Seeing that General Yang's mansion has not been properly settled, I wonder if anyone can help me?"
Yang Fanhai lived in the mansion rewarded by the king at this time. He didn't know whether it was intentional or forgot something. Although the mansion looked very good, there were no servants inside, and even furniture and other things were extremely simple. It seemed that he had just bought a house and had not yet been decorated.
After hearing the minister's inquiry, Yang Fanhai shook his head without hesitation: "It's okay, it's okay. I'll go to Dingcheng in a few days, and it's empty here."
He had heard of some official things. Once he owed everyone a favor, he might have to repay a lot in the future. Such things would be free from help from others.
He bowed to the Minister of the Imperial Examination and said, "Sir, I have to give it to you, so I won't leave you."
"It's okay, it's okay! Then let's say goodbye first!"
The ministers who announced the imperial edict also saw the opportunity and immediately surrendered. After these people left, Yang Fan Customs came to the door and rode his horse toward the south gate of Kyoto.
When we reached the south gate, we saw many people waiting at the door, and many soldiers were maintaining order and forbidding others to approach.
Seeing Yang Fanhai coming, someone immediately shouted loudly: "Don't get close to you if you are idle."
Although Yang Fanhai became a celebrity in Kyoto, there were only a limited number of people who had seen him. Even Kyoto officials had seen him, so let alone these soldiers below.
At this moment, he was not wearing armor, but just dressed in plain clothes, so these people naturally couldn't recognize him.
After riding his horse, Yang Fanhai took out a token and said, "I am Yang Fanhai. I am here to send the prince of the Xiong Kingdom away from Beijing at the order of the king."
After taking the token and seeing it, many soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage: "It turned out to be the general who killed the demon! I have seen the general!"
"No need to be polite!"
Yang Fanhai casually signaled that the general of demon-slaying was his current title. In the view of the king of Ji, the big snake was already a demon, and the fact was the same, so he was granted a demon-slaying general.
After walking past the crowd and leaving the city gate, Gongsun Weiqing sat in a gorgeous carriage, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, with a relaxed and freehand look on his face.
The soldiers around him looked at him with a complicated look and had no intention of getting close to disturb him. This person who was said to be a prisoner lived a much better life than them, and he did not have the awareness of being a prisoner at all. He was so arrogant that he was probably more comfortable than in the Youxiong Kingdom.
Yang Fanhai walked over and bowed: "Yang Fanhai has seen His Highness the Great Prince."
After shouting, Gongsun Weiqing seemed to have not heard it, without any reaction, and continued to look up at the sky.
"Yang Fanhai has seen His Highness the Great Prince!" Yang Fanhai shouted again, but he still couldn't get a response.
"Yang Fanhai has seen His Highness the Great Prince!"
After shouting for a few more times, Gongsun Weiqing still ignored him and still admired the blue sky and white clouds on his own.
The other party intends to do this, and Yang Fanhai is too lazy to do useless work anymore, so he stands aside on his own. Anyway, he is not in a hurry, and the other party likes this, so let's continue like this.
As time passed, the sun was getting higher and higher, and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. Gongsun Weiqing sat under the canopy of the vehicle, with a shade at the stop, but it was not hindered. Yang Fanhai's cultivation was already invincible to the cold and heat, so naturally there was no problem. It was just that the soldiers around him were wearing heavy armor and were extremely uncomfortable when the sun was sunny.
Knowing that the eldest prince of Xiong Kingdom was trying to make things difficult for him, Yang Fanhai waved his hand and said loudly: "You all retreat, and you will call you later."
"Abide by the order!"
As if the soldiers were granted a pardon order, they rushed to the shade to hide from the sun.
As a result, Gongsun Weiqing stopped doing it and shouted loudly: "Hey, who told you to retreat? I didn't give the order."
"It has nothing to do with you!" Yang Fanhai said mercilessly: "They are my soldiers of Ji State, and they only follow the orders of General Ji State."
Gongsun Weiqing immediately widened his eyes: "But they were sent by the Lord of Ji Kingdom to escort me!"
"Escort?" Yang Fanhai shook his head: "You are thinking too well, not escort, but escort. They are responsible for escorting you to Changguo and have no obligation to obey your orders."
"You..." Gongsun Weiqing pointed at Yang Fanhai and glared: "So brave, you remember it for me."
"What? Do you want to scare me again?" Yang Fanhai said lightly: "I have been with my brother for a long time. Recently, he has been infected with a problem. Once you are intimidated, you can't help but want to pull out your sword. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Of course, my technique is not as good as my brother. He can stab you dozens or hundreds of times without hurting the vital points. I'm afraid I can't use three swords to kill you."
Gongsun Weiqing's face froze, and then he sneered: "Do you dare? You don't dare to lend you eight courages. My father just missed a reason to send troops. If something happened to me here, you will be finished in Ji Country."
Yang Fanhai looked at Gongsun Weiqing's eyes for a moment, and finally said with a smile: "Yes, I don't dare. However, my brother should dare. Why don't you stay here for more time? I'll ask you to send a letter to call my brother back. Don't you really want to see him? Let him come and give it to you."
Thinking of Xu Fan, Gongsun Weiqing's face changed drastically. He was bullied by good people. When he saw Yang Fanhai following the rules, he was completely a soldier, so he dared to bully him, but Xu Fan was completely a military gangster. Not to mention that he was arresting himself, he was afraid that even if he was arresting his father, that guy would dare to stab him for nothing.
It’s not interesting to be such a stalemate. Since she had already said it was an escort just now, Yang Fanhai was too lazy to be polite and said loudly: “Come here, go!”
A group of soldiers rushed over, regardless of Gongsun Weiqing's opinion, drove the carriage forward.
The journey was speechless, and after about two hours, I stopped at the foot of a low mountain.
Although the mountain is not high, it is surrounded by flat ground, which looks a little abrupt. And one side is steep, which is a cliff.
After passing here, even outside Kyoto, seeing off is usually a place to be delivered here, so this cliff is known as the "farewell cliff".
When he rode his horse to the carriage, Yang Fanhai looked at Gongsun Weiqing and said, "Your Highness, honor my order from the king. I will only send you here. Be careful all the way!"
"Are you careful?" Gongsun Weiqing snorted coldly: "In my opinion, you should be careful yourself."
"Don't think that your alliance can be resolved. There will never be a peaceful coexistence in the hearts of the heroes in the world. Changguo will never have the same heart as you Jiguo."
"Yang Fanhai, you, and the one named Xu Fan, remember it. It won't take too long to return to this land. At that time, you will understand what life is... life is worse than death."
"I can let you experience it now!" Yang Fanhai snorted coldly, his heart was full of anger, and a stream of black evil aura rushed out, like a demon god, scaring Gongsun Weiqing to scream.
He sneered, looked at Gongsun Weiqing contemptuously, and then explained to the person in charge of the escort, Yang Fanhai turned around and headed towards Kyoto.
It was already evening when I returned to my own mansion in Kyoto. Several old men and women were waiting at the door with some men and women dressed as servants. Seeing Yang Fanhai coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. It turned out that it was the person sent by Princess Jinglu to help him manage the mansion.
"In the future, the general's mansion will be handed over to me!" The head steward said again: "Before coming, His Highness the Princess said he had something to look for the general. If the general comes back, he can go to the princess's mansion."
"I understand, I'll leave it to you!"
Yang Fanhai handed the key to the old man, turned over and headed towards the princess's mansion.
The Princess's Mansion was not far away, and it arrived soon. After the notice, it was led to the backyard.
The first time he saw the princess, Yang Fanhai was shocked and shouted in dismay: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
