Chapter 253 Inquiry
Since Jiankang City is only the capital of Jiangnan East Road and does not have the qualifications and ability to receive visits from foreign missions, Jia Sidao led all officials here to welcome him. In fact, it was just because he was eager to express his sincerity to seek peace to Mongolia. Therefore, after a day of rest, the delegation members went to Pingjiang Prefecture to discuss matters according to Jia Sidao's arrangement.
Since the distance between Jiankang City is not far from Pingjiang Prefecture, and Jia Sidao is eager to be charmed and wants to serve along the way. At this time, it is not far from Lin'an. There is no need to check all the military defense or customs and customs again, because if one day he can really fight here, it is actually a sign of victory. Therefore, Kublai Khan did not make any excuses to deliberately delay the journey, but followed Jia Sidao toward Pingjiang Prefecture. As for why he did not meet the Emperor of Song Dynasty in Lin'an, whether it was Xiao Yao or Kublai Khan, he knew it clearly, because it was probably the
Jia Sidao intends to deceive the superiors and hide the subordinates. If the peace talks, the two sides decided that the Song Dynasty would pay annual monies every year or there were other conditions. As the price of Mongolia not advancing troops, when Jia Sidao returned the emperor, he could say with shamelessness that Mongolia saw that there were many soldiers and generals in the Song Dynasty, how could Mongolia fear the power of the Song Dynasty, or how Jia Sidao scolded him righteously, which made the Mongolian Tartars feel ashamed and ashamed of themselves, so that they could withdraw their troops in shame. In short, the final contribution must be recorded on Jia Sidao, and finally he was promoted. With only one person and above ten thousand people, he would not have to say much about his endless wealth and honor.
Although he was very clear about all this, Xiao Yao was no longer willing to care about these things at this time. At this time, his mind was actually placed on other places. In fact, since entering the Song Dynasty, Yuye Ubuen, who was responsible for dealing with the Song officials along the way, was responsible for protecting Kublai Khan's safety day and night, and Kublai Khan was the one who really observed and remembered military defense, customs and other affairs along the way. Although Xiao Yao was with him, there were not many places that really needed to use him, and Xiao Yao himself
I was also happy to be idle, and eating, drinking and having fun along the way was inevitable. Until I entered Jiankang City, Xiao Yao heard Jia Sidao mention the matter and was about to be on the bank of Taihu Lake in Pingjiang Prefecture. Then I suddenly remembered that Taihu Lake is the place where the Murong family Yanziwu and Shenhezhuang are located in the original Tianlong work. The Huanshishui Pavilion and Langhuan Jade Cave, which are almost all over the world's martial arts classics, are here! It was precisely because of this that Xiao Yao suddenly became excited and immediately decided to take this opportunity to find out.
Although more than a hundred and ten years have passed since the era of Tianlong, and since Murong Fu went crazy, no one knows what the Murong family is doing. Whether there are secret books hidden in Shishui Pavilion and Langhuan Jade Cave, and even whether there are Yanziwu and Shenhezhuang in Taihu Lake, Xiao Yao was not sure at all. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to achieve success. He just followed the mission patiently and led by Jia Sidao toward Pingjiang Prefecture.
Two days later, the Mongolian mission had arrived in Pingjiang Prefecture. There was no need to say much about local officials praising the greeting. Then they set up a banquet to entertain them, and a erotic song and dance were no problem. Kublai was displeased and said that he was unwell at the banquet and left the table. Although Ubune was nominally the head of the mission, he was also worried when he saw Kublai Khan's face was not good, so he also wanted to follow Kublai Khan. Xiao Yao observed his words and expressions and knew that if Ubune left, he might have to finish the show, so he hurried to smooth things over.
, with his eyes, he told Ye Ubune not to act rashly, which would ruin the great affairs of His Highness the Prince. Ye Ubune immediately understood and understood that his mind was indeed a hot moment. If he left rashly, then it would be fine if the real purpose of this mission could not be achieved. It would probably affect his own people immediately. As soon as he thought of this, Ye Ubune sat down calmly and calmly. Facing the inquiries of Jia Sidao and other Song officials, he smoothly ended up for Kublai Khan's sudden departure, and it was just right, and did not arouse any doubts from others.
During this period, as the deputy envoy of the mission, Xiao Yao naturally also spoke a few words, but he knew that when it comes to intrigues in the officialdom, he was actually far inferior to those seemingly elderly, incompetent officials of the Song Dynasty. He understood the truth that too much words would lead to mistakes, so after just a few words, he handed over the overall situation to Yewubuen, and he started talking to Wang Shouqing, the prefect of Pingjiang who was sitting beside him.
Xiao Yao was concerned about the Shishui Pavilion and the Langhuan Jade Cave, and had already thought of some words in his heart. At this time, he took the opportunity to say to Wang Shouqing: "Prince Wang, I have a small request. I wonder if the Lord of the Prefect can agree?"
Wang Shouqing had known from Xiao Yao's intentional or unintentional disclosure that he was a staff member who Kublai Khan trusted and relied heavily on, and had a very respectful position in the Mongolian army, so he had already made friends. At this time, when Xiao Yao took the initiative to ask for his help, it was a matter of undesirable, so he quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, please tell me if you have something to do, why should you be so polite? The little one can do things for the adults, which is a blessing that the villain has the honor of three lives, so how dare you neglect it? I wonder what the adults have to give, the young one will do their best to do it for the adults."
Xiao Yao heard this extremely stingy flattering words, and she couldn't help but get goose bumps on her body. She was very annoyed, but her face remained unchanged. She smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is so polite. I just have a private request. The family once had an ancestral property, saying that it was in Taihu Lake. However, since many years ago, the family had moved out as a whole and had been away for many years and did not return here. Therefore, over time, not many people in the family are familiar with the foundation left by their ancestors. In recent years, some elders in the family have passed away one after another, but they think about returning to their hometown after falling leaves. It is a long-cherished wish. Lord. Taihu Lake belongs to your rule. If you dispatch several fishing boats or official boats to find small islands or villas full of camellias in Taihu Lake, it is not difficult, right?"
Wang Shouqing was stunned when he heard this request. He thought Xiao Yao would raise such a tricky and strange problem, but he didn't expect that it would be this in the end. He immediately nodded and agreed: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. A filial piety to the Red City, which can help the heaven and earth. If all the ancestors have spirits in the sky, they will definitely protect the adult family's family's blessings and prosperity, and enjoy wealth forever." As soon as he said this, he suddenly saw Xiao Yao's bad face and looked at him coldly. Wang Shouqing immediately changed his words: "Younger, I'll send someone to search overnight. Once there is any information, I will send someone to inform the adult as soon as possible."
When Xiao Yao heard this, he nodded gently, then picked up the wine glass, signaled Wang Shouqing slightly, and swallowed the mellow and delicious wine with a gulp.
