Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 450 "Acquaintance" (Additional chapter for JJM leader)

the weather is nice today.

Although the early morning sun is bright, it has not yet had time to release its true power.

The Jin Dynasty's "envoy" came early in the morning to invite Yang Yuan to have breakfast together.

The Jin Dynasty went from the earliest Jurchen official system to a mixture of the official systems of the Jurchen, Liao, and Song dynasties. After only two or three decades of development, it is now beginning to fully imitate the official system of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the Jin Dynasty had many official positions and duties that were similar or identical to those of the Song Dynasty.

The Song State had a system of receiving accompanying envoys and hosting accompanying envoys when receiving foreign envoys, and the Jin State followed suit.

Yang Yuan went to have breakfast accompanied by the envoy of the Jin State Pavilion. When he passed the curved corridor, Fei Yuye was standing under the corridor holding a spear.

When she saw Yang Yuan, Fei Yuye immediately turned her face away guiltily, a shy blush quietly appearing on her face.

She didn't get a good rest last night.

After removing her makeup and taking a shower, it was already late, and she had to get up early and dress up again.

As a result, the tossing and turning process will last a little longer, and naturally you will not be able to sleep for long.

The scene she saw that night when she stayed at Li Shishi's residence in Renmeifang had a huge impact on her mentally.

That was the first and so far the only time she had ever seen anything like that.

Li Shishi was her godmother who was both her teacher and friend.

In Fei Yuye's heart, Li Shishi is a woman who is synonymous with perfection, elegance and nobility.

But such a woman who was like a banished immortal in her heart was doing indescribable things between men and women in the mortal world with a man outdoors on a summer night. This kind of mental shock was unforgettable.

That blurry scene, which she could not see clearly no matter how hard she tried, had flashed through her mind countless times, especially when it was late at night and she was alone and unable to sleep.

In that scene, as a woman, her focus was of course on the man.

But all the man left her was his back.

Until last night, the person with his back to her suddenly "turned around", and the mysterious veil was lifted.

The unimaginable face in Fei Yuye's mind suddenly took shape.

Many strange scenes that I had imagined suddenly became extremely real.

As soon as she saw Yang Yuan, her mind was immediately filled with past fantasies and she felt embarrassed.

Yang Yuan had no idea that she had such rich thoughts, and he walked past her while chatting and laughing with the envoy from the Jin State Pavilion.

Fei Yuye turned her face away and quietly moved one eye back to look at Yang Yuan's back.

Back view!

As soon as she saw the back, the extremely shocking image to her quickly rushed into her mind again!

"spit!"

Fei Yuye spat secretly, but she didn't know whether she was spitting at Yang Yuan or at the strange images in her mind.

……

Jinan government office.

Pushan Zhongyi had breakfast with Wanyan Dari.

Perhaps because he had just woken up from a hangover and had no appetite, Wanyan Dari didn’t eat much.

Pushan Zhongyi was eating his breakfast in big mouthfuls. Seeing this, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you are almost forty years old. You are not like young people. You can't recover quickly from a hangover. It's harmful to your health. You should drink less in the future."

Wanyan Darui smiled and said, "That's because I went to bed right after returning last night. If I had drunk a bowl of hangover soup first, I wouldn't be feeling so bad now."

Pushan Zhongyi smiled and said, "That's my fault. I was drunk when I came back last night and didn't think so much. Please forgive me for not taking good care of you."

The two people were talking and laughing, and it was hard to tell that they were calculating against each other, and what they were calculating was life and death.

After breakfast, Pushan Zhongyi ordered his men to prepare horses and rush to "Luoyuan Hall" to welcome the envoys from the State of Song.

The front yamen had already opened, and Lin Ya Si rushed to the yamen early in the morning and told Wang Xijie, the Tongzhi of Jinan Prefecture, that he had been promoted.

The Tongzhi official of the Jin Dynasty was the second-in-command of the prefecture officials, and his status was theoretically equivalent to that of the Tongpan held by Yang Yuan in Lin'an Prefecture.

The problem is that the power of the two cannot be compared.

The Tongpan of the Song Dynasty was also honored as "Jianzhou" and had the power to supervise the officials with official seals.

If the prefect's decree is not co-signed by the magistrate, it will be invalid.

However, in the Jin Dynasty, they had only learned the "form" of the official system of the Song Dynasty, but had not yet grasped the essence of making officials check and balance each other.

As the commander-in-chief of the Shandong Army and the prefect of Jinan, Pushan Zhongyi was a bit like the feudal lords in the Tang Dynasty.

But...it can only be regarded as an incomplete vassal state.

Because he did not have as much power as the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, and his autonomy was not as high.

However, he had absolute power in the local area, and the assistant officials could not supervise him and could only obey his orders.

Wang Xijie hurried to the back house to ask for instructions, and found that just as Pushan Zhongyi said, he promoted Lin Ya Si.

So Wang Tongzhi came back immediately and issued a formal letter of appointment to Lin Wei.

After the carriage in the rear house was ready, Pushan Zhongyi and Wanyan Dari went to "Luoyuan Hall" together.

Because they were going to take a boat tour on Daming Lake, Wanyan Darui did not bring so many people.

Most of his dozens of guards stayed in the guest house at the back of the government office, and Wanyan Dari only brought four guards with him.

Seeing that he was completely unguarded, Pushan Zhongyi couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

……

At the Kong family's villa, Wanyan Luti was also ready to set off.

In front of the mansion gate, more than twenty soldiers stood solemnly with their horses, guarding a carriage full of "fine wine" in the middle.

These twenty-odd people are the most loyal and capable subordinates selected by Wanyan Luti.

The remaining dozen or so subordinates stayed in the Confucius Mansion, and they controlled the people in the Confucius Mansion to prevent the news from leaking.

In the guest hall, Wanyan Lvti tied the leather belt around his waist and told his subordinates who stayed behind: "If it is not me who returns alive from Daming Lake today, you should release Duke Yansheng and surrender."

After hearing this, Kong Zheng immediately showed a flattering smile on his face and nodded and bowed to Wanyan Luti.

Wanyan Donkey's big hand heavily rested on his shoulder, hooked his neck, pulled him in front of him, licked his lips with his fat tongue, and then smiled slyly and leaned close to Kong Zheng's ear and said, "I have to say, your Madam Ru is really fucking comfortable to use."

The flattering smile on Kong Zheng's face froze, and his face turned pale and blue, but he was afraid of angering Wanyan Luti, so he didn't dare to say anything harsh.

Wanyan Lvti laughed loudly, turned around, and said with great stride: "Let's go! Let's go to Daming Lake!"

……

On the shore of Daming Lake, a pleasure boat was quietly moored.

The Jin Kingdom's deputy envoy Zhu Songzhang took a tour on the boat and then returned to shore.

Nine "Blood Pagodas" were all dressed as servants and were standing on the shore.

Just looking at their posture and demeanor, they don't look like slaves at all.

Zhu Songzhang frowned when he saw them, but considering that they were the emperor's personal guards, he gave up the idea of ​​teaching them a lesson.

Forget it, let’s not make things more complicated.

Once Wanyan Darui and Wanyan Luti got on the boat, even if they found anything wrong, they would not be able to escape.

Zhu Songzhang said with a smile: "Everyone, today we are sailing on the lake to entertain the envoys of the Song State. It is naturally inconvenient to fight openly on the boat, so I have to ask you to pretend to be slaves."

Zhu Songzhang smiled and warned: "The envoys of Song are still useful to your majesty. When you take action, try not to hurt them, especially that scholar Yang."

The leader of the "Blood Pagoda" glanced at Zhu Songzhang and said arrogantly: "Are you telling us what to do?" Zhu Songzhang was a little unhappy, but he still forced a smile and said: "You are all the personal guards of His Majesty. How dare I order you around? I just made a brief suggestion..."

The leader interrupted Zhu Songzhang impatiently: "Just trick the people onto the ship, and leave the rest to us!"

After saying that, he stretched out a finger, pushed Zhu Songzhang aside, and then walked onto the boat with a swagger.

A group of "Blood Pagodas" followed him to the boat. When they passed by Zhu Songzhang, most of them looked at him with contempt.

Zhu Songzhang had a smile on his face, but he was burning with anger in his heart.

"Blood Pagoda"?
Is it amazing?
In the past, Zhu was a tycoon in the world and killed people like crazy. Who in the world doesn't know my name, "Ashura Blade" Zhu Songzhang?
That is to say, in recent years, he has been wearing official clothes and hats, and has rarely killed people personally.

If it weren't for the Emperor of the Great Jin standing behind you, in my eyes, you "Blood Pagoda" are nothing!
When the last person from "Blood Pagoda" boarded the pleasure boat, Zhu Songzhang spat viciously.

In the distance, a group of people and horses were approaching.

Wanyan Luti led the way, followed by a team of cavalrymen, escorting a cart full of wine.

……

The water area of ​​Daming Lake was very large at that time.

It extends from Daming Temple in the west to Guanying Lake in the south and Queshan Lake in the north, covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 acres.

There are several islands in the lake, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Yang Yuan didn't bring many people with him on this lake cruise.

Only the deputy envoy Kou Heiyi, the judge Yu Jiguang, and Chen Lixing, Da Chu and Mao Shaofan who were originally from the Guoxin Office, knew the Jin people better.

In addition, there are Fei Yuye, Hua Yin and Xiao Nai, who are dressed as Song army soldiers, a total of nine people.

After Pushan Zhongyi and Wanyan Dari arrived at "Luoyuan Hall", they drank tea and chatted with Yang Yuan. Not long after, Kong Yanzhou, who had stayed overnight in the military camp, also arrived, and the group then headed for Daming Lake.

As soon as they reached the shore, they heard the sound of musicians playing zither on the boat.

Wanyan Luti stood at the bow of the boat and waved to them with a smile.

Don't say you are leaving early, the donkey's hooves have already climbed the hill.

After the group got on the boat, the boatman drove the pleasure boat away from the lakeside and slowly rowed towards the depths of Daming Lake.

This houseboat is very large and is equipped with cabins, bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, teahouse, etc.

The top of the ship is a spacious top deck, which can be used as an observation deck via stairs.

Although everyone had their own thoughts, they all looked happy and the atmosphere on the ship was very harmonious.

The pleasure boat was huge, and because it was only rowed by the boatman, the speed was extremely slow. The lake was also very calm, and the people on the boat felt like they were walking on flat ground.

Wanyan Lvti and Wanyan Darui quickly began to drink, which they called "sobering up from alcohol."

Of course, among the jars of wine that Wanyan Luti brought on board, some contained real wine.

When Pushan Zhongyi saw Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti drinking together, he gave Kong Yanzhou a look.

Kong Yanzhou understood and nodded quietly.

Pushan Zhongyi stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, Deputy Envoy Kou, the shape of the island ahead is just like a jade rabbit lying on Daming Lake, very lifelike.

You have to stand high up to see the mystery, how about we go to the upper deck and take a look?"

Wanyan Luti, with his arms open and a wine bowl in hand, rolled his eyes and said, "The sun is getting hot, it's going to tan people, what's the use of looking at rabbits?"

Wanyan Darui slapped the table and shouted, "Bring some wine, bring some wine, I want to drink to my heart's content today!"

Wanyan Lvti immediately said without showing any weakness: "Bring me a jar as well. I want to see who will fall first between you and me, hahahaha."

One of Wanyan Luti's guards quickly went to the pile of wine jars at the side of the cabin, fetched two jars, and placed them in front of them.

In response to the two's words, Pushan Zhongyi could only smile helplessly at Yang Yuan and Kou Heiyi, and put his hands together in an invitation gesture.

Yang Yuan and Kou Heiyi nodded, stood up and walked towards the stairs.

When Pushan Zhongyi passed by Wanyan Lvti, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't enjoy yourself yesterday, so just drink as much as you can today. After you finish visiting Jade Rabbit Island, I will come back to drink with you."

As he spoke, Pushan Zhongyi lowered his arm, and a letter slipped out of his sleeve and landed at Wanyan Luti's feet.

As Yang Yuan and Kou Heiyi, accompanied by Pushan Zhongyi, walked up the stairs, Zhu Songzhang exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, you dropped something."

"what?"

Wanyan Luti looked down and saw a letter on the ground.

Just as Wanyan Luti was about to pick it up, Kong Yanzhou had already rushed over, bent down and picked up the letter.

Kong Yanzhou took two steps back, and while opening the letter, he smiled at Wanyan Lvti and said, "Your Majesty, is this letter to some young lady? Why are you so anxious? I'd like to take a look at it."

Zhu Songzhang deliberately said, "Prince Guangping, King Wanyan's letter, we shouldn't open it, right?"

Kong Yanzhou smiled and said, "We are all close friends, so it doesn't matter."

Seeing that the two of them were singing the same tune, Wanyan Luti and Wanyan Darui couldn't help but exchange glances with mockery in their eyes.

When Pushan Zhongyi wanted to lure away the envoys from the State of Song, the two of them had already been secretly on guard. Now seeing Kong Yanzhou putting on a show, they just found it funny.

Kong Yanzhou opened the letter and glanced at it briefly before he looked shocked and angry. He pointed at Wanyan Lvti and Wanyan Dari and shouted, "You are so treasonous that you are trying to collude with the powerful people in the capital to rebel."

Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti immediately understood what was going on in their eyes. That bastard Wanyan Liang was really going to deal with us.

Kong Yanzhou took a few steps back, pointed at Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Lvti, and shouted in panic, "Quick! Come quickly, take these two traitors down for me."

At Kong Yanzhou's command, the blue-clothed servants standing at the four corners of the cabin immediately pulled out sharp daggers from their arms, sleeves, and under their robes and approached Wanyan Dari and Wanyan Luti.

Wanyan Lvti laughed loudly, stood up suddenly, and cursed in a thunderous voice: "Kong Yanzhou, who the hell do you want to fuck? Fuck you!"

Wanyan Luti picked up the jar of "wine" that had not yet been sealed with mud and threw it fiercely at Kong Yanzhou.

The "Xuefutu" horse that was approaching him made a beautiful "roundhouse kick" and kicked the wine jar into the air, hitting the bulkhead.

With a "bang", the wine jar broke, and the liquid in the jar splashed everywhere, and the cabin was immediately filled with a strong fragrance.

Huh? This is authentic Shandong small-milled sesame oil!

Everyone in the cabin was stunned. How come sesame oil appeared in the wine jar?

Before everyone could react, Wanyan Darui threw the jar of wine in his hand away.

He simply didn't intend to hit anyone and threw the jar of wine directly to a corner of the cabin.

The wine jar broke into pieces, and the finest sesame oil dripped out.

Wanyan Lvti shouted, "Do it!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Wanyan Luti and several guards who were serving Ju'er immediately kicked and threw the piled-up "wine jars" everywhere.

In just a moment, the deck was filled with fragrant oil and vegetable oil.

Even if someone's body is not splashed with oil, their feet will be sticky.

Wanyan Luti took out an object as thick as a cigar from his arms, and with force, the pen-cap-like lid came off.

He puffed up his cheeks and blew hard on the cigar-shaped object, then shook it hard.

Air rushed into the tube, and flames suddenly shot out of the fire starter.

Wanyan Darui lifted the hem of his robe and pulled out a sharp blade from his calf. He pointed it at Kong Yanzhou and sneered, "Didn't expect that? You have your Zhang Liang plan, and I have my own way to get over the wall! Hahahaha!"

Wanyan Luti held the fire lighter high up and stood proudly like the Statue of Liberty.

Perhaps because of the nervousness and excitement of making an important decision, Wanyan Luti's cheeks were shaking violently.

He held up a fire starter and said with a sinister grin on his face, "Want to plot against me? Come on! We're all acquaintances, why should we be polite? At worst, we can just get to know each other, as familiar as can be, hehehehehehe..."
