Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 380 Night
After Yang Yuan and his party arrived at Banjingguan, the single postman of Banjingguan arranged accommodation for them.

After the Japanese envoys checked in, if they wanted to go anywhere, they needed to send people to travel in advance.

Given the transportation and communication conditions of that era, it would obviously be unrealistic to notify the Privy Council to dispatch troops at that time.

That's why Yang Yuan and others were sent here to live in Banjing Hall and be on standby at all times.

Although the Privy Council was only responsible for peripheral tours this time, the State Information Office was mainly responsible for receiving foreign envoys.

However, the Privy Council is more than one level higher than the National Information Office, so the people of the National Information Office did not dare to be disrespectful to the people sent by the Privy Council.

Banjingguan was an inn where foreign envoys lived, and its main focus was on receiving people from the Jin Dynasty, so the construction standards of Banjingguan were very high.

As the captain and deputy captain, Yang Yuan and Han Qianchen each have a private room which is very comfortable.

As soon as he entered Banjing Hall, Yang Yuan couldn't help but think of Wugu Lun Yingge.

The turning point of his fate started from here. He earned his first pot of gold from Ugun Yingge. How could he forget it?

The Ugun family is probably not in a good situation now under the rule of Wanyan Liang. I don't know how Miss Yingge is doing now.

Yang Yuan thought that he still had a deep impression of this cheerful northern girl.

"Here, right! Sitting southwest and facing northeast, the auspicious direction is Tianyi, Dui position, which can prolong life and bring help from noble people.

Ah, the only flaw is that there is a toilet next to it. Never mind, after comparing, this is the most auspicious location..."

Han Qianchen held a compass in his hand, muttered something, and then walked into a room in the corner and said to the two errand soldiers who had just checked in:

"You two move to the main room, next to Yang Wugong's residence. I'll live in this room."

The two soldiers were flattered: "Oh, Han Keze, how can we live in the main house if we are of such low status?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just go when I tell you to."

Han Qianchen put the compass in his sleeve and said seriously, "I asked you to live next to Yang Wugong mainly to make it easier for Yang Wugong to summon you. This is official business, go quickly."

"Oh, great!" The two soldiers were overjoyed and happily moved out of the small side room in the corner and into the main room.

As they walked, one of the soldiers said disapprovingly, "Official Hanbu has been calculating all day long, but his luck has never turned. He is still a low-ranking official. What's the point of him?"

Another soldier said, "That's right. He even hides a compass in his sleeve. Everyone knows that he even calculates the time in advance when he is having sex with his wife."

"I just don't know what posture to use. Should he calculate it first?"

"Hahahaha..." The two soldiers laughed strangely and left.

……

As dusk approached, Yu Jiguang, the "receiving envoy" and "envoy to the embassy", escorted the Japanese delegation to Banjing Hall.

The chief envoy of the "receiving envoy" Du Rangmei did not stay in the inn, so after taking them to Lin'an, he returned to the Ministry of Rites.

In fact, from the perspective of etiquette, this is not quite appropriate. He should at least send the person to Banjingguan and settle him down before leaving.

However, now the only country that the Song Dynasty can treat with respect is the Jin Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty court does not attach much importance to the envoys from Japan.

In addition, the chief envoy of the Japanese delegation was a monk, so the court cared even less.

Although the imperial court was roughly aware that monks were very powerful and had a high status in Japan, they were not considered official personnel of Japan after all.

Du Rangmei was a Jinshi, so how could he possibly take Monk Jinghai seriously?

Before the delegation arrived, the news had already been passed on by the outpost, and Yang Yuan and Han Qianchen immediately ordered the soldiers to clear the road from Banjingguan to Xingqiao in advance.

Then they were on guard at the periphery, while the inner layer was composed of people from the National Information Institute and Banjing Hall.

The Japanese delegation's ship docked at the Xingqiao Pier, and then changed cars to go to Banjingguan.

Yang Yuan led the outer guard soldiers to withdraw with the convoy and retreat towards Banjing Pavilion.

Yang Yuan saw six geishas from afar, riding in two cars, but he couldn't see clearly who were Hanane and Xiaonai.

He was standing too far away, and the six geishas were all wearing kimonos, their faces were heavily painted, and they were of similar height, so he had no way of identifying them.

Yu Jiguang sent the delegation to Banjingguan, and the postmaster of Banjingguan immediately arranged rooms and food for them according to the arrangements made in advance.

At this time Yang Yuan found the postman of Banjingguan.

The positions in the inn were divided into three levels: postmaster, post clerk, and postman.

The post clerk is the one who manages the post office and dormitories and arranges food and lodging.

When Yang Yuan and others checked in, it was this postman named Shan Zhengyun who received and arranged their stay.

As soon as Yang Yuan saw Shan Zhengyun, he got straight to the point and said, "Shan Yili, please give me a list of accommodation arrangements for the Japanese delegation members."

Shan Yili said in surprise: "Yang Qingyou, you are responsible for the outer security of the delegation when it travels.

The reception affairs in Jingguan have nothing to do with you, so why do you need a list of accommodation arrangements?"

Yang Yuan said seriously: "The reception affairs in the museum are naturally none of our business.

But it’s never a bad thing to be more prepared.

For example, if a flood occurs, can our swimming cleaning team stay out of it?
Your group of pavilions are filled with buildings of varying sizes, and it would be easy for me to get lost if I walked in there during the day, let alone at night.

If an accident really happens, with this list of schematic diagrams, I will know where the important people live and who to save first."

After hearing this, Shan Yili couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Yang Qingyou is meticulous in his work. Shan admires him."

He readily took out a map of the accommodation arrangements for the delegation members and handed it to Yang Yuan, who took the map and returned to his own residence.

After dinner, Yang Yuan returned to his residence, lit a candle, and spread out the drawings under the lamp.

This is a floor plan of Banjing Hall, which is divided into four parts: the main hall, the east hall, the west hall, and the back hall.

The main hall is used to receive diplomatic delegations, which is equivalent to a building complex that serves the function of receiving guests.

The east and west halls are where attendants, guards and other people are accommodated.

There are some courtyards embedded in the east and west halls. For example, Yang Yuan’s tour group now lives in a courtyard in the east hall.

Adjacent to it is the residence of the personnel stationed here by Guoxin.

In the courtyard opposite the West Hall, the servants and boatmen of the Japanese delegation were arranged.

As for the official members of the Japanese delegation, they were all arranged in the back hall.

Banjingguan was one of the four highest-standard post stations in Lin'an during the Song Dynasty.

There are pavilions everywhere in the back hall, courtyards, flower, bird and fish ponds scattered among them, and they are not rows of very regular rooms.

Kanon Yazawa and Konami Tsubakiya are dressed as geishas on this trip and do not have a high status in the delegation, so they should not be arranged in the most luxurious houses.

Yang Yuan quickly searched around the houses on the schematic diagram. The names of the people staying there were marked on the maps of the houses and buildings.

But after Yang Yuan looked around, he couldn't find her or her name in the list of six geishas.

Yang Yuan's heart suddenly tightened. Did something happen to them? Or even... were they killed after their identities were discovered?

As soon as Yang Yuan felt anxious, he slapped his forehead, thinking how confused he was!
The two of them said that when they went to compete for a place in the assassin group, they would use the names they had when they were training in the Nara Asuka school.

What were they called then?

Yang Yuan's gaze fell on the residences of the Japanese geishas again, and on the list of six people, he saw Momona Muka and Yayoi Mitsuki.

That’s right, it’s them.

Yang Yuan smiled and pointed at the drawing.

As geishas accompanying the delegation, the lowest-ranking members of the delegation, they were arranged in a small building on the east side of the back hall.

There were six geishas, ​​two of them in each room, for a total of eight people living in this small building.

In addition to the two geishas, ​​two female postmen also lived on the first floor so that they could take care of the women in the delegation.

The second floor has the same layout as the first floor. On the east side of the second floor, there is a house with the former names of Yazawa Kanon and Tsubakiya Konai clearly marked on it: Momona Muka and Yayoi Mizuki.

Their residence was on the east side of the house as was Yang Yuan's. Yang Yuan only had to pass through the courtyard where the people from the Guoxin Institute lived to enter the back hall area and reach this small building.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, considering that there are many ninjas in this Japanese delegation, Yang Yuan really doesn't dare to contact them now.

If they resort to force, Yang Yuan will not be afraid of them.

You can sneak around and ambush in secret, after all, they are more specialized.

Once Yang Yuan's whereabouts are exposed, all previous efforts will be wasted.

However, now with this arrangement, he had no problem with it.

Although Yang Yuan had not received any special training in this area, he had received a lot of instruction from Old Man Song recently, so he was confident that he could still contact them without anyone noticing.

This small building is called Lanruo. As the name suggests, it is located among lush flowers and trees, quiet and elegant.

Xiaonai and Hanane took a nice bath, changed into soft pajamas, and then collapsed on the bed with looks of happiness on their faces.

After sitting on the boat for many days, they could still feel their bodies gently rising and falling as they lay on the couch.

Xiao Nai closed her eyes, stretched her limbs, and said comfortably: "Ah, it's so comfortable!"

Hua Yin said: "I don't know when San Yuan Jun will contact us. He should have known that we have arrived in Song State, right?"

Xiao Nai said: "Yes! San Yuan Jun should know, but it is hard to say when he will contact us. It is not so easy to get into this Jing Pavilion."

Hua Yin sighed and said, "Yes, just now when we were walking along the way, I paid special attention to it. There are no other houses around Banjing Pavilion.

Although the garden is lush with flowers and trees, there is not a single tree outside. In this case, even if we want to sneak in, it will be very difficult. Sanyuan Jun must be very troubled. "

Xiaonai turned over, held her chin in her hand, and said to Hanane proudly, "But he would never have thought that Yagyu Jonin appreciated us because we are both proficient in Chinese.

He asked us to go to Lin'an City frequently so that we can get familiar with the environment. We have helped Sanyuan Jun to get a good opportunity."

Xiao Nai became happier and happier as she spoke, "Ahaha, when he finds out, he'll be shocked. Xiao Nai is very capable."

At this moment, there was a sound of fingernails scratching on the green gauze window. The sound was very slight, but the window was right in front of the bed.

Hanane and Kona became alert immediately, jumped up at the same time, quickly squatted, and a "shuriken" suddenly appeared at their fingertips.

Yang Yuan's smiling face appeared outside the window and waved to them.

Kanon and Kona's eyes lit up instantly.

Science Spectrum: Which organ in the human body can expand eight to nine times when excited or agitated?
The answer is: the pupils of Kanon Yazawa and Konami Tsubakiya.

PS: There is still one chapter left, which I will code in the afternoon. Then, I will continue to code the chapters tomorrow morning...
