Chapter 58: Acting
The Siyi Hall is located in the south of the Qinhuai River, which can't be built with a single arrow. Xiao Yan and his group of four walked along the Qinhuai River to the Siyi Hall, and several guards followed under the leadership of Gao Zhan. After a while, he came to the door, and Gao Zhan took the two of them to inform them first. Xiao Yan and the four people looked at the Siyi Hall chatting.
After a while, Gao Zhan came out, followed by a follower. When he came to Xiao Yan and others, he bowed and reached out to make a gesture of invitation. Seeing Xiao Yan nodded, he led the way first. Siyi Hall is the architectural style of a courtyard, and Ta Lai and others are arranged in a small three-entry courtyard in the southwest corner. When he came to the door, the person leading the way whispered a few words to the golden soldier guard at the door, and then saw that the guard opened the door and the previous person who led the way made a gesture together, standing on both sides. Xiao Yan and others walked in and nodded gently at the door to show their gratitude.
"This is the young and successful General Xiao!" As soon as I entered the door, I saw three people walking down in front of a small hall in the middle. One of them had a square face, surrounded by jaws, and said with a smile on his burly face.
Although Xiao Yan had never seen a tart, he also heard Zhou Ma describe his appearance and knew that the only person he spoke was a tart, but he did not answer, but looked back at Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting stepped forward with a big belly, stretched out his finger and said, "General Xiao, let me introduce you. At this time, the envoy of the State of Jin was General Lai. Then he introduced to Ta Lai: "This is General Xiao Yanxiao, the commander of the Jiankang Garrison and the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai Road Volunteer Army."
Xiao Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhou Ting talking about a lot of titles.
"This is." Zhou Ting pointed to Lu Chen and said, "Jiankang's governor, Quan Jiankang's affairs, Dr. Yin Qingguanglu, Lord Lu Chenlu." After saying that, he pointed to himself and Ma Guangzu and said, "We are both old acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce them."
Tarai originally wanted Xiao Yan to be young. As soon as he came, he would say hello first and it would be easy to talk. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan put on a business posture and gave him a soft nail as soon as he entered the door. His face turned white for a while. The entourage around him quietly pounded him with his elbow twice before he realized it. He said a few polite words to let Xiao Yan and others sit in the hall separately, put on tea, waved his hand to let the subordinates retreat, and said, "I don't know why the two adults came here today!"
Xiao Yan and Lu Chen exchanged eyes unconsciously. Xiao Yan said to himself, "It's quite good to pretend. Don't you know why we're here?" I thought I didn't know the southeast and northwest when I climbed to Huangshan. So he didn't answer, but picked up the teacup and gently stroked the tea foam in the cup with the lid. After a while, I took a sip, closed my eyes, and squeaked my lips after a while, as if I were recalling the fragrance of tea.
Slowly breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes and said, "Good tea..."
At this time, Lu Chen sat there as if he was disgusted with Xiao Yan's arrogance and said to Xiao Yan, "General Xiao, today we are here to negotiate with General Ta Lai. It's time for General Ta Lai to ask you!"
Xiao Yan seemed to wake up and slowly asked, "What did General Lai just say?"
Before Ta Lai came to speak, Lu Chen seemed to be very impatient, "Ask our intention."
At this time, Ta Lai looked at Xiao Lu and couldn't help but be surprised. When I came, I heard that the officials of Jiankang Mansion were wearing a pair of trousers with Xiao Yan, which didn't seem to be the same. The Yin and Xiao Yan of Jiankang House seemed to be a little unmanageable, and yesterday they talked to Lord Huang of the left-behind department, and they seemed to have a lot of complaints about the officials of Jiankang. Men are good at fighting. Jiankang City is not a piece of iron barrel, but also fighting. I couldn't help but feel high, "The happier you fight, the happier I will be."
"Oh." Xiao Yan answered, took a sip of tea slowly and slowly put it on the table. "It's been a while since he came here. He was busy with his official business and hasn't been able to find time to see you. Please forgive me." With his fist, he continued, "General Ta Lai, what do you think of the environment of Jiankang? I'm not used to living there!"
As soon as this came out, Ta Lai didn't react for a moment, but subconsciously nodded and said, "Habit, habit."
"Hmm! I'm used to living for a few more days. Although Jiankang City has been damaged by the war, there are still many places worth seeing. When I have time, I will arrange people to take General Ta Lai around.
What Ta Lai said came to his senses at this time, but Xiao Yan's words made Ta Lai more confused. What on earth is Xiao Yan going to do?
The next words almost turned him upside down.
"Qinhuaihe, the general is familiar with it. It's lively at night. It's rare for a general to come here. You can go for a stroll. This woman in the Song Dynasty is as beautiful as a flower! Unlike the barbarian women in the Golden Kingdom, their skin is rough, like the bark of an old tree, and their faces are ugly. It makes people feel like a monk. Xiao Yan is still in that tone.
"You..." Seeing that Xiao Yan slandered the woman of Dajin so much, he stood up in anger and pointed to Xiao Yan and didn't say anything for a moment.
Gao Zhan behind Xiao Yan pulled out his knife with a "cang" and shouted, "Dare to be rude."
Seeing Xiao Yan wave his hand and saying, "Our Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette. An dares to be so rude and put down the knife." Gao Zhan inserted his waist knife back and stood behind Xiao Yan again, but his eyes stared at Ta Lai.
At this time, Ta Lai seemed to have suddenly recovered and remembered the news he had heard. Xiao Yan didn't want to negotiate at all. This move probably deliberately provoked me to seize the handle to destroy the exchange negotiations of prisoners and not be fooled.
Thinking of this, he seemed to have changed his face and sat down with a smile and said, "It's rude. At that time, General Xiao will have trouble. Thank you in advance." After saying that, he also bowed his hand.
"Good to say, good to say." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and didn't say anything, as if there was something good in the teacup.
He was secretly proud in his eyes, "It's not so easy for me to be fooled." Xiao Yan's action is a manifestation of Guizhou donkey's lack of skills in his eyes.
"General Ta Lai, we are here to visit the general. The second is to negotiate the exchange of prisoners. Lu Chen saw that Xiao Yan did not say anything. After saying this, he took a look at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan returned with a white eye. This made Ta Lai see it and further strengthened the fact that the rumors of the discord between Jiankang's civil and military officials were true. I can't help but be happy! Thinking, "I'm adding fire to you."
"The highest official of Jiankang should be Lord Huang of the left-behind department. This negotiation is related to the diplomatic relations between Jin and Song. It seems that Lord Lu can't represent Jiankang's officials!" After saying this, he looked at Xiao Lu and wanted to see what the reaction was.
The expression on Lu Chen's face suddenly seemed to freeze, and he said cowardly, "This, this, this..."
After hearing this, Xiao Yan suddenly sat up from the chair and fell down the teacup in his hand. There was a sharp expression on his face, but he shouted loudly, "Who said that? Didn't I say the prisoner I captured?"
Tharai looked through the expression of Xiao Yan and Lu Chen's thoughts, and a calm expression. Let's see when you can pretend.
Xiao Yan shouted a few words before sitting down, looking like a defeated rooster.
This makes Ta Lai more confident.
After a long time, Ta Lai's expression was holding Zhizhu, "I'm the special envoy of Dajin Kingdom. If you want to talk, you can only talk to Lord Huang Shan. As for the two...
I meditated for a while... Of course, I won't let the two come back empty-handed. With a wave of his hand, the entourage took two plates and opened the red cloth to see 16 golden ingots each plate. There is no respect for the small meaning. When you return to the north, there will definitely be a good reward. After saying that, he looked at Xiao Lu and the two coldly.
After a concession, the two accepted it half-heartedly. Ryton was contemptuous. At the beginning, those actually seemed to be pretending, but fortunately they were not in a hurry to agree.
After receiving it, the two seemed to be in no mood to stay here. After a few words of greeting, they were about to leave.
"Jiankang left-behind the department, Zheng Erpin left-behind Huang Shan to visit." There was a call from the guards outside the door.
Huang Shan hurried to the courtyard with the two of them. Xiao Yan and the other four also followed him to the door to welcome Huang Shan. After a few polite words, he seemed to see Xiao Yan and the four of them. At the sight of the ceremony, he took the lead in.
After sitting down again, Huang Shan looked at the fragments of the tea bowl on the ground, as if thinking about something, while Xiao Yan only Lu Chen stared at Huang Shan with a smile, with a marked expression facing his boss.
After a while, Huang Shan put on airs and said, "Huang, as Jiankang, has nothing to do with it!" After saying that, Xiao Yan tilted down and saw that he was still hanging up that had nothing to do with him, and there was a "hum" in his nose.
"With a left-behind adult, this matter will be solved smoothly." Lu Chen took over the words with a flattering look.
"Hmm." The same hum has been lowered a lot, and the meaning is different. This is to express satisfaction with Lu Chen's words.
Lord Talai, seeing that Lu Chen and Xiao Yan's momentum was suppressed by himself, his slightly uneasy mood calmed down a little. Xiao Yan's shadow in his heart was too big. I thought to himself, "Is it a matter that has been exposed? I feel guilty." Seeing that Lu Chen took his words, he pretended to be a city government and said, "Lord Ta Lai, you continue to talk. I'm just listening."
Seeing that the momentum of Xiao Lu and the two had been suppressed since Huang Shan, he believed the accuracy of the news and said, "Your country's ransom is too much this time. Although Dajin is rich, it is impossible for the minister of the court to agree on this matter."
Huang Shanjian said it to himself, so he asked. After listening to it, I was stunned. After a while, I came to my senses and said to myself, "Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise I couldn't eat such a big piece of fat meat." Thinking about it, he also glanced at Xiao Lu and the two of them. Seeing that Xiao Yan was still sitting with his nose and nose, Lu Chen stared at himself with a marked expression. I can't help but be very satisfied with Xia Cheng. No Xia Cheng can eat such a big piece of fat meat.
picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, covered up the expression just now, put down the teacup and said slowly, "Lord Lai, I'm just listening at this time. You still have to talk about the specific matters." After saying that, he looked at Lu Chen and continued to say, "Lord Lu is the head of a mansion, and Lord Lu has to pay more attention to this matter."
"It must be." Lu Chen nodded quickly and said, "Master Zhou, Ma Tongjudgment, at this time, you two are fully responsible and must be perfect. We can't live up to the painstaking efforts of the left-behind adults.
This week, the two of them changed their previous thorny posture and nodded like chicken pecking rice.
