Chapter 475 Hidden Line
After listening to the coachman's comfort, Cai Mao felt better. He whistled and held a letter in his hand, urging the coachman to hurry up.
"By the way, sir, do you think the Supreme Being will really fight against the Golden Man tomorrow?
This Jin man kills people without blinking an eye. Can he win the battle, Your Majesty? It would be quite embarrassing if the official's father was killed by the Jin man."
"Do you think there is any master in the palace who is not a murderer without blinking an eye? As for whether he can beat the golden man, that is another matter.
Besides, you will soon hear another news that the Supreme Being and the official family are co-authoring a play to force the Jin people to make choices."
"Huh? Acting?"
The coachman couldn't help but wonder, what is acting? Doesn't the emperor want to fight against the golden man?
But he has already said what he said and the time has been set. If he goes back on his words, the consequences will be very serious.
Cai Mao, who was sitting in the car, said no more, because as the lights gradually increased, he knew that he was almost there.
The entire Tianshui Lane is basically a night business place. Every shop and the second floor is lit with lights, illuminating the entire street. If viewed from the air, it is quite shocking.
"Yo! Prime Minister Cai!
Come and protect me, everyone, get out of the way!
Prime Minister Cai is not here to squeeze with you, get out of the way and don’t block Prime Minister Cai’s way to go to his friends for tea!”
As soon as Cai Mao was helped out of the car by the coachman, he was immediately spotted by a boy in linen waiting at the door. The boy quickly greeted him.
Apparently Cai Mao was also a regular visitor here. A group of thugs from Wase came quickly to protect Cai Mao and pushed through the crowd. However, they did not enter through the main entrance of Wase, but entered the house on the side.
Goulan tile houses are also divided into grades. Some people call them, they need a large number of customers, there is no threshold fee and minimum consumption, they are entertainment tile houses for the common people, they belong to the civilian class, the quality is average, and they are mostly used for juggling and opera.
The place Cai Mao went to was the solitary residence of high-end geishas. They mainly drank tea, played cards and chess, talked about romantic affairs, and gathered to recite poems. It was similar to the place where Zheng Meiyue received guests in Plum in the Golden Ping.
It's more private here. If you want to talk and have a drink, you can spend the night and do something you like with the owner of the hospital. Of course, it's not impossible if there are many people.
The most important thing is that this does not count as escorting prostitutes. After all, officials in the Song Dynasty were explicitly prohibited from escorting prostitutes, so a small change can make things better.
After being led through the door, Mr. Turtle quickly entered and came over. While guiding Cai Mao, he told Cai Mao some unpleasant news.
"Xiang Cai, Fairy Ziqin is ill today and can only play and sing songs.
However, Fairy Ziqin will arrange two more new waiters for you so as not to disturb your enjoyment, so please bear with me."
"It's okay, I'm just feeling upset today, so I came here to talk."
Saying this made Cai Mao feel sick in his heart. He had known that he would not have come here today. This Fairy Ziqin actually had her menstruation today. Ordinary women from the Song Dynasty are not as flavorful as the women from the Jin Dynasty.
As soon as the two of them turned around the screen and entered the main courtyard, they saw an exotic woman wearing a long purple gauze with a smile on her face. She was already waiting, which surprised Mr. Turtle.
"Oh, Fairy Ziqin, you are not..."
"I heard that Prime Minister Cai was coming, but Zi Qin happened to be ill and disturbed Prime Minister Cai's elegance. I didn't dare to neglect, so I dragged my sick body to apologize."
"Fairy is feeling unwell. It's time to take a good rest. Then I'll come back another day."
Cai Mao looked at Zi Qin's frivolous arms, and the heat rising from the heater in the courtyard made him feel a little dry.
It's just because of menstruation, he seems very reasonable, and Mr. Turtle also feels that it is normal. After all, if the people who come here are not for that matter, do they really come to chat?
"Since Prime Minister Cai is here, let's have a cup of tea. It's a bright night today, so why don't we chat for a while.
My daughter seems to have a sad expression on Mr. Cai's face. If possible, I would like to hear Mr. Cai express his worries."
"Well, it's all state affairs. It's hard to say, but it's true. I'm here now. Let's have a cup of tea. I haven't seen the fairy for a long time. How is the fairy?"
"Only when Prime Minister Cai is worried about state affairs can the Song Dynasty be stable. Some people don't understand Prime Minister Cai. That's them..."
Turtle Gong quietly retreated, but he didn't know that inside, Cai Mao had already handed his letter to Zi Qin, and the content of their chat had also changed.
"Prime Minister Cai, I heard the petition from the imperial students today. Does it have any impact on Prime Minister Cai?"
"I've been dismissed from my post by the government, and I'm afraid I'll have to avoid the limelight for a short time."
"That's really a pity. Your Excellency, you are so worried about the country and the people, and for the safety of the people in the city, you end up in this situation. Are you Song... all so ignorant of the general situation?
However, I heard that the official family still values Mr. Hui very highly. I think it was a temporary balancing act. After all, it would be very troublesome for those students to make trouble.
It’s just ridiculous that a dignified official can’t even control a group of students.”
Zi Qin sighed and said, her face full of regret, but she was thinking in her heart, she finally got access to a good intelligence rack, and received a lot of money, but she was actually fired?
"It's just a temporary loss of power. When your people disperse, the officials will still use me. Now it's just to appease the people.
Back to business, what happened today and what I said to your shopkeeper are all written here. Please give them to your shopkeeper as soon as possible. The mission will probably not have a chance to deliver the letter today.
Well, I’ll give you more this time.”
"Sir, don't worry. As long as the information is true, it will definitely be sent to your house. I will personally visit you someday to express my apology."
"Well, Miss Ziqin is really feeling unwell today?"
Cai Mao glanced around, floating up and down between the snow on Ziqin's chest. The ravine in the middle was like a whirlpool, and he often got lost in it.
Zi Qin's expression didn't change at all, she still looked at Cai Mao affectionately, without showing any look of disdain. This was her job.
"I know that my husband is anxious, but it's just that Kui Si is here today and I can't serve my husband.
But the two new maids in my room are quite acceptable, so I’ll just take care of them for now."
"Oh, that's all. I'm here for the fairy today. Ordinary women... can also make do with it."
Cai Mao stood up and was about to leave, but saw two identical foreign women coming from the backyard. They were wearing very hot clothes and their faces were similar to Zi Qin's. He immediately sat down in disappointment.
Cai Mao suddenly realized that he was somewhat face-blind. These foreign women all looked alike, they were all very good-looking, and they all had plenty of facial cleanser.
"Then I won't disturb my husband's pleasure. I will play a piece of music for him to apologize and go to rest.
You guys have a good time serving me sir! Sir, don’t work too hard at night. If you hurt yourself, I will feel sorry for you."
"Okay sister."
After the two women finished speaking in unison, they came over one from the left and the other from the right. As if the spring breeze was blowing on their faces, Cai Mao was completely lost.
"Don't worry, fairy, the rain and dew will catch you, the rain and dew will catch you, hahaha!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ziqin, who returned to the house, took Cai Mao's letter, opened it, and read it. She suddenly frowned extremely, turned around and went out, waved to an inconspicuous boy in the courtyard, and gave instructions before ending.
Until midnight, that is, around 11 o'clock in the night, the Jin army camped.
Wanyan Zongbi was drinking tea in the general camp. Seeing his brother Wanyan Zongwang pacing anxiously in front of him, he became a little irritable.
"Second brother, why don't we go fuck them tonight? Song people are insulting our father and insulting you. This is tantamount to insulting me too. I can't bear it."
"A little impatience can ruin a big plan. The people of the Song Dynasty are full of cunning and cunning. Although they are not good at fighting, they are more ruthless than anyone else in playing dirty tricks. Moreover, the situation is strange when the emperor of the Song Dynasty comes back today.
Li Gang has been restored to his position in the city, and the Zhong family outside the city has mastered elite troops and prepared for night attacks. There is no chance of victory. We are now passive."
"Isn't the Emperor of Song coming to fight with you tomorrow? Let's ignore him, tie him up directly, and then use his head to force Emperor Song to pay and cede the land.
I'm afraid that he won't come, but if he doesn't come, it will be really troublesome. It proves that the Song people are stubborn and stubborn. We can't defeat them if we only defend the city.
Also, second brother, is it true that you said it was time to withdraw today?"
"Of course, now that several of the Song people who were leading the war have been reinstated, this prince, in order to compete for the throne, has come back to spread rumors of subverting the peace talks and go against their officials to win the hearts of the people.
We have to accept it as soon as possible, otherwise if Zhao Huan's son regrets it, in order not to lose too much face to his father, and for the sake of the stability of the throne, the three-town transfer agreement may not be obtained."
Wanyan Zongwang said that after receiving the letter this afternoon, he had already communicated with Wanyan's mother and was preparing to start the evacuation.
Now he really couldn't wait any longer. Although Zhao Ji's letter was unpleasant and insulting, after he calmed down, he decided to endure and take revenge in the future.
The news from the West Route Army was not optimistic. Although they bypassed Taiyuan, Taiyuan was never captured, and Wanyan Zonghan's pincer offensive could not be completed.
Originally, Zhao Huan had always relied on the Zhuhe faction, and he could still drag Zhao Huan to anger the people. But the students' petition disrupted his steps.
Li Gang's reinstatement was dangerous enough. Then there was Zhao Ji who came back to seize power and wanted to fight hard. In order to regain the throne, he was not sure whether this old guy would actually lead his troops to kill him.
King Qin's army of more than 200,000 people could not be killed even if the pigs were lined up to kill him. The Song Dynasty's imperial army was not under the captain of the transportation team. They surrendered when they encountered the Jin people. The Jin people did not treat prisoners favorably.
"It's a pity. The gold and silver given by the Song Dynasty people was less than one million guan. However, since we captured two of their princes, we are not afraid that the Song Dynasty people will not give us money."
"As long as we capture the three towns, when we come back next time, without Taiyuan to stop us, my army will sweep across the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed! I'm just curious, why haven't the envoys sent a message today?"
Wanyan Zongwang was just wondering when a sergeant came in from the door.
"General, there is an urgent letter from the secret envoy of the Song Dynasty."
"Not a letter from the mission?"
Hearing that it was not a letter from an official source in the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang's face suddenly fell. He had a bad premonition, so he took the letter, opened the wax seal, and started reading.
After reading the letter, Wanyan Zongwang's eyes were sharp and he called several of his own soldiers in and gave them orders one by one.
"Immediately take the letter to the commander-in-chief and order the entire army to prepare for war, and order each commander-in-chief and the generals of each battalion to come over.
Also, immediately order the scouts of each army to come out of the camp, use all your strength to explore the positions of the Song Army's armies, clean up all the Song Army's scouts, and leave no one behind in case you encounter them, and prepare to mobilize the army.
The two princes of the Song Dynasty and the prime minister were kidnapped and brought over. The rest accompanied the Song delegation and beheaded them on the spot. The heads were thrown to the front of the Song Dynasty camp and were trampled by horses."
