Chapter 35 Fox Fakes Tiger Power

After entering the city, Tong Guan walked with Yelu Yu. Under the escort of the guard of the ceremonial armored soldiers, he went to the Star Picking Tower on Tangming Street.

In the past, Tangming Street was the busiest. There are many shops and it is a famous and prosperous area in Taiyuan. But today, all the shops are closed, and there is no pedestrian on the street. Along the way, there was only a group of people standing on the two streets to "welcome" the envoys of the State of Jin under the close supervision of the soldiers.

Chu Tianya saw it in his eyes and sneered in his heart: the people avoid the way, and the bureaucrats are dedicated - it turns out that this kind of performance art has a long history in China, which can be said to be a fine tradition!

When I was young, when I was downstairs, Tong Guan and Yelu Yu got off the horse. Tong Guan pointed to the tall restaurant and said, "This is the best restaurant in Taiyuan City. Have you ever been satisfied?"

"Satisfaction is satisfaction, but why is this journey so deserted?" Yelu Yu said, "I've heard for a long time that the Nanguo Commercial City is active and rich in people's livelihood. Taiyuan is also a mansion. Why don't you see half of the passers-by? All the shops are closed?"

"Cough..." Tong Guan coughed awkwardly and said with a smile, "When I learned that your envoy was coming, the people in the city volunteered to welcome each other. In order to be afraid of disturbing you and bumping into your envoy, all the shops and merchants also closed their doors.

"What's the point of that!" Yelu Yu shouted unhappily, "I have always liked to be lively. The more people, the better!" On this trip to the south, I was going to see the bustle and prosperity of the South - what are you doing against me?

This tone is like Tong Guan usually scolding his subordinates.

Tong Guan took a hard breath, with a smile on his face. He hugged his fist and said, "Since you have this hobby, Xiao Wang ordered the reopening of the market and let the people return to the street scene of the past!"

"Okay, that's good." Yelu Yu nodded with satisfaction, looked up at the card on the roof, and praised, "It's really elegant. Nanguo is rich. A folk wine shop is almost as good as the palace platform in other countries!"

"Then you can invite me!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

Tong Guan and Yelu Yuyi walked back and forth into the restaurant, and most of the people were stopped outside. Only Wang and his son followed him with several generals, as well as Yelu Yuyi's deputy envoy and other people. Because Chu Tianya is a special "guide", he is also allowed to join in.

As soon as she entered the main hall, she knelt down a woman in green clothes and said neatly, "See your envoy, see the prince!"

Yelu Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he was about to emit green light and laughed loudly: "The women in the south are really gentle, beautiful and charming! Just listening to this sound, my bones will be half crispy!"

"Ha ha, as long as you are satisfied." Seeing that Yelu Yu was happy, Tong Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "These thirty female musicians were personally selected by me to serve your envoys. They are all young, beautiful, gentle and charming, and can sing, dance and be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

"Hey hey, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I'm not interested at all. It's good to be able to dance well, sing well, and more importantly, to serve men!" Yelu Yu stared at these women with a pair of eyes and almost swallowed. He didn't even look at Tong Guan and said, "Well, I said... Your Highness, as a eunuch, this woman's vision is not bad!" Strange, strange!"

As soon as he said this, even Wang Qi, who had always been the most calm, showed a face and took a step forward to argue with Yelu Yu.

Tong Guan secretly pulled Wang's hand and said with a smile, "Your envoy is joking. If you like these women, please feel free to entertain them. In addition, the Accord upstairs has prepared high-quality wine and dishes for your envoy to pick up the wind and wash the dust after your arrival!"

"I'm really hungry." Yelu Yu saw that he was not polite at all. He cut his hands and took the lead. He strode upstairs and said all the way, "I would have heard that there is the most famous 'flower banquet' in Nanguo, but what is it?"

Tong Guan followed and said, "Flower banquet, as the name implies, is to use flowers to name the dishes, and also use petals to make supplementary dishes. It's not the emperor's relatives and dignitaries, and they can't eat this flower banquet.

"That's good." Yelu Yu said with a smile, "Today, I will try the famous flower banquet in southern China!"

"Well, this..." Tong Guan hesitated in an embarrassment, "Today's banquet is ready. I'm afraid it's difficult to replace it in a hurry. Why don't you invite your envoy to enjoy the flower banquet tomorrow?

"No, it has to be today, now." Yelu Yujian also stopped and said rudely, "In the future, every banquet every day will be a flower banquet. You won't be allowed to change it until you are tired of it!"

Wang Zhi, Wang Xun's father and son, and the generals, including Chu Tianya, are already full of anger. They can't wait to rush forward and kill this arrogant and rude Yelu with a knife.

But Tong Guan was still smiling and waved his big hand, "Come on, change the wine - go to the flower banquet!"

"Thank you, Prince!" Yelu Yuyan punched Tong Guan, and then went upstairs with a loud laugh.

Wang Yu and others did not follow in the hall downstairs. At this time, they were all indignant and cursed secretly--

"This dog thief!"

"The beast who sells for glory and pretends to be a tiger!"

"Dad, I can't help it! I'm going to beat him up!"

Wang Yu took a deep breath and waved his hand to stop the crowd. "If you can't bear it, you will make a mess. Even if Yelu Yu saw that he was arrogant and rude, he only lingerred here for a few days at most. I don't have to be like such a vulgar and ignorant barbarian, and I won't be seen in the future!"

All the generals present were furious. Chu Tianya was the only one who was silent.

When Wang Xun saw his look, he pulled him aside and whispered, "Brother Chu, haven't you seen the scene just now?"

"I can see what happened along the way." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Chu, aren't you angry, not angry, and don't want to kill the thief?" Wang Xun was shocked and angry.

Chu Tianya smiled and whispered, "Brother Wang, has you ever thought about how Yelu Yu can dare to be so arrogant and domineering in our territory?"

Wang Xun was stunned, blinked his eyes as if he was thinking, and then said, "It's just relying on the strength of Jin's soldiers and horses, bullying me, Da Song dare not compete with it!"

"That's all." Chu Tianya said indifferently, "My Song Dynasty is so rich and vast, and I also have millions of soldiers to govern hundreds of millions of people. Why am I afraid of the Jurchens who have been established for less than ten years and have only 200,000 soldiers? Forgive me for making a very inappropriate example - now in the Song Dynasty, I am like a seriously ill giant elephant. In the face of a thin lone wolf, I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, and let the lonely wolf ride on its head and scream rampantly. If we can cure the disease of this giant elephant, how dare this thin wolf be arrogant?

Wang Xun was stunned and nodded as if he didn't understand, "It seems to be the truth... But are you really not angry or angry today?"

"I'm angry and angry, and I feel very sad." Chu Tianya sighed and said, "Yelü Yujian is just a minion. He is so arrogant and domineering that he doesn't pay attention to me at all. It can be seen that the general of the State of Jin despises us! The golden people are naturally hateful, but I am more at the Song Dynasty - I mourn his misfortune and anger!"

"Oh! - Straight thief! God kills the thief!" Wang Xun was so angry that he swore and punched him directly. He cursed in a low voice, "One day, we will teach the golden dog a fierce lesson on the battlefield, and let them look down on me again!"

"Good job, Brother Wang!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "So, we don't have to vent our anger on a running dog. We don't have to be like him. What an ambitious and good man. Without saying a word, he picked up the knife and gun and fought with them to the death on the battlefield! It's the same whether you win or lose, but you have to dare to work hard so that you won't be looked down on! - In my opinion, it's all the fault of the resentful woman who only dares to treat enemies with hatred or private abuse!"

"Well said!" When Wang Yu heard Chu Tianya's words, he couldn't help exclaiming and came forward and said, "Sun'er, listen to me. Tianya has a lot of insight. This is a good man's mind and courage! - Learn it!"

"The child is ashamed!" Wang Xun hurriedly hugged his fist and worshipped Chu Tianya, and then said, "Brother Chu is good to see. Wang Xun is taught!"

"Master's praise, how dare the apprentice be!" Chu Tianya hurriedly replied and glanced at the upstairs. Seeing that Tong Guan and Ye Lvyu had entered the Accord and closed the door, he said, "Master, they have gone in."

"Never mind them. When there is a summons, I'll go up later. Wang Yu said something lightly.

Chu Tianya knew it - Tong Guanxian and Ye Luyu saw this time in private, and he must have sent a generous "meeting gift". Otherwise, isn't it inconsistent with his usual style?

Such an occasion is naturally not to be observed by others.

After a long time, Chu Tianya and others were waiting in the hall downstairs. Tong Guancai and Ye Lv Yu came out of the Accord, talking and laughing very closely.

At a glance at this scene, Chu Tianya said in his heart: Well, Tong Guan's bribery was successful!

At this time, the emergency flower banquet has also been prepared, and five important people from both sides will be present. Chu Tianya, Wang Xunze and several other Yelu Yuwei stayed outside the Accord to wait for the order.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Chu Tianya's belly was cooing with hunger, and his legs were also a little sore. He cursed the damn Tong Guan and Ye Lv Yu in his heart. It was better to be punctured in the throat by a fish bone!

This flower banquet was not until the middle of the night, and the prostitutes who sang and danced were about to faint. Yelu Yu saw that he was already drunk. Tong Guan personally helped him into the bedroom, and then sent two beautiful girls to serve him to enjoy the golden sky. It was not until today.

At this time, Tong Guan took a deep breath. He called Wang Xun and Chu Tianya and ordered them to take turns to be by Yelu Yuyan's side at any time. Whenever he had any requirements, he must try his best to meet them. From today on, the two of them are not allowed to leave the Star Tower for half a step except for obtaining an order or going out with Yelu Yujian. However, if they need anything they need on weekdays, they can be notified to the prince's office to transfer or send a pawn to pick it up.

Then, Tong Guan left the two of them a big bag of golden gold for the expenses of entertaining the messengers, so he left the Star Picking Building and returned to the royal palace to rest.

Looking at Tong Guan's figure when he walked down the stairs, he was already exhausted. Chu Tianya couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: It's really not easy for Tong Guan to fall into this kind of rude slave to please Ye Lv Yu. This is the answer to that sentence - there is no evil in killing the ancient, and the wicked have their own evil people!
