Chapter 34 Taking retreat as progress

The knight who galloped on the street had passed for a while, and the street soon returned to calm.

Everyone knows that the privileged class was there in that era. After the suffering flat-headed people complained, they had to live, because they knew that they could not win the complaint, and maybe the loss would be greater in the end.

Taibaiju's wine and dishes were really rich, but Song Qing's mind was not here at this time, and he was not hungry. After letting Dou Niang try it, she asked the clerk to give the dishes to the bodyguard and the hammer mother and son downstairs. I asked for a pot of fragrant tea and slowly tasted the tea.

Liangshan has always been invincible. It also invisibly created an illusion of cowardice in the court to Song Qing.

In fact, Song Huizong is cowardly, but who did he score? Whether it is Jin Bing or Liao Bing, it is a place that must be ceded for peace and compensation. On the other hand, if there is artificial rebellion inside, it must also be wiped out.

It can be said that for the existence of Liang Shan, a monster, if it hadn't been for the power struggle within the court, Song Huizong would not have allowed this threat to exist close at hand.

So Song Qing himself doesn't know that Liang Shan's power has now been the object of competition from all sides.

Although the two strong men in the corner downstairs were well disguised, Song Qing still recognized them at a glance.

Yang Zhi, Shi Xiu.

These two people appeared here to protect Song Qing, but what Song Qing couldn't understand was that he and Gongsun Laodao clearly agreed to keep his whereabouts secret that day, and now they have sent so many people to keep it a secret? This old-fashioned way of doing things is too good, isn't it?

In fact, Song Qing wronged Gongsun Sheng. No one can tell Song Qing's whereabouts, but he can't hide Song Jiang.

Song Jiang felt his physical condition, so he was particularly concerned about the safety of his only brother. After knowing the exact news of Song Qing, he immediately sent a group of direct lines to protect him. Yang Zhi and Shi Xiu were just one of them.

I can't figure it out. Song Qing doesn't think about it at all, but it's strange that he has been drinking tea here for a while, but the adult in the housekeeper's mouth has never appeared.

The housekeeper waiting at the door is also wondering, "Why hasn't the adult come yet? In case the ancestor is impatient to leave, shall I stop him or not? Besides, I just want to stop it. Can you stop it? Do I still need a head?"

"Son, there doesn't seem to be something wrong. Let's go!"

Gao Jin is not without worrying about the tunnel.

Song Qing's temper has also come up. Damn, what the hell? Even if Tong Guan sees me, he has to be obedient. Is there anyone bigger than Tong Guan in this broken place?

I was about to get up when I heard the voice of the housekeeper downstairs.

"Master, you are finally here..."

The following words were not said, which was obviously stopped.

Hearing the voice, Song Qing raised her buttocks and fell back. She waved her hand to let Gao Jin stand behind her. Dou Niang was originally sitting next to her, but when she heard someone coming, she still stood behind Song Qing obediently. Obviously, she had not adapted to her new identity.

Song Qing was a little helpless, but it was not the time to discipline his wife. He really wondered who the official wanted to see him was.

I didn't let him wait much this time. As soon as the curtain was picked up, a familiar person and two unfamiliar people came in one after another.

Seeing Tong Guan, Song Qing was really surprised. He never thought that he would meet him here, and the doubt in his heart flashed by. He stood up and laughed and said, "Who am I? It turned out to be Lord Tong. If your people had said it was you, how could Song dare to work hard for Lord Tong?"

Although Tong Guan was already prepared, he still trembled for no reason when he saw Song Qing. He smiled and said, "It's the subordinate who was rude first. How can you blame Mr. Song? Come on, Mr. Song, let me introduce you to the two adults."

Tong Guan said that he pointed to the two people around him.

Although he was talking to Tong Guan, Song Qing's eyes had long been on those two people.

The one on the right is older, thin, wearing a member's outer clothes, with a trace of arrogance on his face, and his eyes are not very friendly. He has been looking at Song Qing up and down since he came in.

The other is about 30 years old, dressed in black, looking very shrewd and capable, but his face is slightly tired. It looks like a long journey. Although his eyes are not presumptuous, he is also carefully observing Song Qing.

Both of them have one thing in common, that is, after seeing Song Qing so young, their faces showed a trace of disappointment.

"This is Cai You, Lord Cai" Tong Guan pointed to the humanity of the outside appearance.

"This is from King Kang's Mansion in the capital, and he is the deputy general manager of His Royal Highness King Kang's bodyguard, General Xu Hu

Of course, Tong Guan is sticking gold on Xu Hu's face. What kind of general is the bodyguard of the royal palace called?

Of course, the deputy general manager of the bodyguard of King Kang's Mansion can't scare Song Qing, but after experiencing the hammer incident, Song Qing can't think about it.

"It should not be for the hammer. Although the capital is not too far away from here, it seems unlikely to come here so soon."

He quickly thought about his thoughts and hugged them and said, "Good to the two adults"

Cai You nodded symbolically. Xu Hu was better and held his fist back to salute, which was also mostly perfunctory.

Seeing this scene, Tong Guan's sweat came down again. Can this little ancestor be neglected? But the two people around me can't be provoked either. His eyes swept slightly, and when he saw the smooth desktop, he suddenly had a place to vent.

"Tong An, is this how you entertain Mr. Song for me? Come on, lock up Tong'an"

Song Qing didn't care about what these two-80,000-like guys did to him at all. He just wondered why Tong Guan was here. Hearing Tong Guan want to deal with the housekeeper, he couldn't help saying, "Lord Tong, don't make things difficult for him. I gave the wine and dishes to my brothers."

Tong Guan didn't really want to deal with his family. Hearing Song Qing's words, he hurried downhill and said to the housekeeper, "That's also wait for the prince. I'll settle accounts with you when I go back. Hurry up and arrange a table to wait for a banquet. I want to drink a few cups with Mr. Song and the two adults."

The housekeeper Tong An didn't even dare to fart, so he went down to prepare the wine and dishes again.

Of course, the person who can get into the deputy general manager of the bodyguard in the royal palace is not a fool. Xu Hu saw that Tong Guan, who was the Privy Councillor, was so respectful to this young man, and he couldn't help but begin to re-evasss Song Qing.

Xu Hu came out of Beijing with heavy responsibilities this time. The open and secret struggle between the two princes in the capital finally shocked the emperor. The prince was elected by him. Moreover, the prince did not have any major problems, so of course he should turn to the prince.

However, playing balance is the unique skill of every emperor. While appeasing the prince, he did not deal with King Kang, and even sent King Kang to the front line to supervise the army.

The responsibility of supervising the army is to monitor the army on behalf of the court, but the whole court knows that Tong Guan is King Kang's person. Isn't King Kang coming to supervise the army equivalent to controlling the army in disguise?

So when the news that King Kang was coming to the front line came out, he almost opposed it.

Emperor Huizong rarely had an arbitrary decision, and an imperial edict directly sent out Zhao, the king of Kang. Xu Hu just stood in front of Zhao Gu.

Xu Hu found Tong Guan and Cai You. Before he could say his intention, he was pulled to see Song Qing by the two. Although they had already told him who Song Qing was on the way, Xu Hu was still hesitant. His words and deeds represent King Kang. King Kang's men colluded with the thief bandits. Can they not affect King Kang? Besides, can this young man really complete the important task entrusted by King Kang?

The banquet was quickly reorganized. In addition to Dou Niang standing behind Song Qing, Gao Jin and other servants retreated. No one knows that Song Qing's most competent bodyguard is the seemingly weak woman behind him.

Tong Guan personally poured wine for everyone, and then picked up a glass and said, "The subordinates will come here first. This glass of wine will be served as General Xu and Mr. Song. Please"

A few people drank the wine after being polite.

Although Tong Guan did not say that he had brought the two people to see his real purpose, Song Qing was also secretly alert in his heart. It is said that there is no good banquet. I don't recognize these two guys, and I am not a special person. Why did they come to see me?

After talking in the north of the world, Xu Hu suddenly changed his speech and said to Song Qing with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Kang has been the name of Mr. Song for a long time and has never been able to meet him. I don't know if Mr. Song can stay here for a longer time, and His Highness will come soon."

Zhao Gou is coming? Song Qing understood more or less. Isn't this guy pulling himself over for Zhao Gou?

Song Qing knew that in history, both Zhao Gou and today's prince Zhao Huan were emperors, but there was only one after them. Although I have the powerful * of Liangshan, it is better not to get together with this kind of infighting of the royal family. Moreover, there is Song Jiang on the mountain, and it is not his turn to make the decision, so it is better to push three obstacles and five or six obstacles to this matter.

But after all, I'm still on one mu of land, and I can't say too much.

nodded and said, "I also admire His Royal Highness very much. If His Royal Highness King Kang comes, he should go to meet him, but he has already decided to visit him at home with the same friend, so I'm afraid he will disappoint His Highness. However, if His Highness has any ideas, he can convey it to his brother on behalf of His Highness and believe in the family. My brother is also very willing to make this friend.

Xu Hu was furious and said to himself, "What are your brothers?" Do you dare to call your highness brother? Aren't you afraid to cut your head after your Highness ascended the throne?

Tong Guan also knew that things were going to be bad when he saw Xu Hu's face. He hurriedly said, "I don't know where Mr. Song's friend's house is? If you can make friends with a figure like Mr. Song, you must also be a hero. If you don't want to invite your friends, you can also let the officials get to know each other."

Song Qing dares not offend, and King Kang can't offend him, so it's better to leave Song Qing first. After King Kang arrives, it has nothing to do with him.

Song Qing frowned, and then Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Since General Xu and the two adults love so much, if Song insists on it, it will be too inhuman. Then please send someone to invite my friends."

Song Qing was not afraid of threats. He just suddenly thought that if he could take this opportunity to push Yue Fei further away from the court, he would save his own words to persuade him, and at the same time, there was no need to risk his way out of the city.

Song Qing's transformation made the atmosphere of the banquet relaxed again. Several people on the wine table seemed to be very good, but how could they easily show each other's true thoughts?
