Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

Yuan Hao burst into laughter when he heard the words, and said three good words in succession, before saying:

"It's the elixir offered by the Song envoy..."

Zhang Yuan's face changed, and then he thought of Cao Bin, and said angrily, "Guard, why haven't you killed him yet?"

Cao Bin also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said sarcastically: "Zhang Guoxiang, you are a little unreasonable, it was my lord who saved your life, now you want to repay your kindness?"

Zhang Yuan immediately became furious:

"You ruined Zhang's reputation, and I will never die with you..."

Yuan Hao waved his hand and said: "President Guo, forget it, you just recovered, go to rest first, I still have something to ask Song Envoy."

Zhang Yuan wanted to say something, but seeing that Yuan Hao was indifferent, he had no choice but to back down bitterly.

Only then did Yuan Hao look at Cao Bin and said, "Emissary Song, tell me, where did this elixir come from?"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this, but there are ready-made fairy tales in later generations, so he just made up one.

Seeing that Yuan Hao was dubious, Cao Bin didn't want to waste time, so he hurriedly said:

"My lord, Cao has finished what he should say. Regarding the matter of sending troops to attack our Great Song Dynasty, please decide on your own. Cao will leave first."

As he spoke, he asked someone to bring up the gift prepared by Da Song.

You know, his pill is a ticking time bomb, once Zhang Yuan dies suddenly, I'm afraid he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

Yuan Hao squeezed the porcelain bottle in his hand, thought for a while and said:

"Emissary Song, don't worry, you have merit in donating medicine, and I will not kill you."

"You stay with me in Xixia first, and the Song envoy will leave after I discuss the result with the courtiers."

Hearing this, Cao Bin was a little dumbfounded, and quickly said:

"My lord, you're welcome, Cao..."

Yuan Hao didn't give him a chance to refuse, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, set up a new banquet, I want to invite the envoy of Song Dynasty."

But Cao Bin is not in the mood to eat.

Ma De, it seems that Yuan Hao is glued to himself, and now he is like sitting on a landmine, which may explode into the sky at any time.

At this time, many Xixia ministers ran over to toast him.

Even the crown prince came over with a wine glass under the guidance of Zhang Yanshou, and said:

"Messenger Cao, Ning Ge offers you a toast."

Cao Bin was very humble, and quickly got up and said, "The prince is too polite, Cao does not dare to be."

This guy was kicked into a mess by Yuan Hao just now, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to be all right.

It seems that he has been beaten a lot on weekdays, and he is used to it.

Brother Ning Ling took Cao Bin's arm affectionately and said, "Emissary Cao doesn't have to be like this..."

He was very affectionate, even a little respectful, which made Cao Bin confused for a while.

However, Cao Bin is very clear about brother Ning Ling's information.

This is also an unlucky guy. His mother is Empress Qianyeli, and the three uncles are the pillars of Xixia.

His uncle Yeli Renrong was once the teacher of the Western Xia Dynasty, who created the Western Xia language, formulated the Western Xia laws, and single-handedly built the Western Xia Dynasty into a country. He is a figure like the father of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, not long after Yeli Renrong's death, his two powerful brothers were beheaded by Yuan Hao.

The younger sister who was the queen was also deposed by Yuan Hao.

The Yeli family was also killed, leaving only two or three kittens.

Brother Ning Ling's position as the crown prince was as stable as Mount Tai, but it became precarious in the blink of an eye.

However, Brother Ning Ling's grief is far more than that.

He has had a childhood sweetheart fiancee since he was a child, who has never moved Ximeng.

When she was about to get married, she was caught by Yuan Hao at a glance.

So he was robbed directly, and his wife instantly became a little mother.

Being hated by his father, Cao Bin felt a little sympathetic to him for a while.

Brother Ningling was pulling Cao Bin to talk, when Empress Wuzang suddenly said loudly:

"Emissary of the Song Dynasty, I heard that the people in the Central Plains are talented in literature, why don't you write some poems and let us see a little bit."

Cao Bin looked up and saw Empress Wuzang looking at him with a smile on her face.

He didn't know anything about poetry, and he didn't think Xixia people could understand poetry, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But seeing Unmoved Ximeng also had anticipation in his eyes, he suddenly felt moved, and said with a smile:

"Cao is not good at poetry, but there is a friend who once wrote a Mulan poem for his childhood sweetheart's deceased wife. Let Cao sing for your mother."

In fact, Cao Bin took it for granted. Yuan Hao’s ancestors had always been subject to the Central Plains Dynasty, and Xixia also had Han and Fan courts. They were very familiar with the Central Plains culture. How could they not understand one or two poems?

At this time, when they heard that Cao Bin was going to sing lyrics, all the Xixia people in the hall became quiet.

Cao Bin borrowed a pipa from the musician, fiddled with it a few times, and started playing.

He has a master-level proficiency in music and music, but he plays the pipa like weeping, lingering and sentimental. Before he started to sing, everyone was already immersed in it.

At this time, although his clothes were disheveled, he had a different kind of freedom and ease, which made Wuzang Heiyun's eyes brighter, staring at him non-stop.

Just listen to Cao Bin singing:

"If life is only as it was first seen, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan.

Waiting for leisure to change but the old people's mind, but the old people's mind is easy to change.

Lishan language stopped the night for a while, tears, rain, and Lin Ling did not complain.

How about Bo Xing Jin Yilang, who will wish for that day. "

After singing three times in a row, after Cao Bin put down the pipa, it took a long time for someone to react, clapping his hands and saying in admiration:

"Good words, good music, I haven't heard such moving lyrics and music for a long time."

"The envoys of the Song Dynasty are very talented in literature and style, and I really can't wait."

Yuan Hao also nodded and said, "It's indeed a good word!"

As he said that, he glanced at Cao Bin, laughed and said, "However, you Song people are too fond of children, no wonder you are weak!"

Hearing that he took the opportunity to belittle, Cao Bin didn't care, but looked at Brother Ning Ling.

He was in a trance, unaware that the wine glass in his hand was thrown to the ground, and his eyes had unconsciously turned to Meng Meng.

The first half of this poem is just a que, but the second half uses the allusions of Tang Minghuang.

It's also the same father who robbed his daughter-in-law, and I don't know if the knife has pierced his heart.

Cao Bin sighed in his heart, big brother, don't blame Cao for tricking you, Xixia is really too dangerous, if you don't make something happen, I can't escape.

Unmoved Ximeng glanced at Cao Bin faintly, and said to Yuan Hao:

"Master, Song Envoy's words are amazing, and the pipa is even more superb. Can you ask Song Envoy to teach Ximeng some pipa skills?"

Yanzhou City Bing Masi Nei.

Yang Zongbao looked worriedly at the beleaguered Eighth Sister Yang and asked:

"Little aunt, why did you come to the border without authorization? If the court knows, I'm afraid it will be suspicious."

Eighth Sister Yang took a sip of tea, waved her hands and said:

"You don't have to worry, I have already reported to the court that I am here to meet Cao Bin."

As she spoke, she said rather depressedly:

"I persuaded Cao Bin to go on a mission at the court meeting, but when I got home, I was scolded by your grandmother."

"She said that missions are no match for the battlefield. If Cao Bin dies in Xixia and leaves the Cao family with no descendants, I will also be responsible."

Explaining the reason, she complained to Yang Zongbao:

"I also did it out of good intentions. Cao Bin is so powerful, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious service, wouldn't it be a waste of all his abilities?"

"The opportunity is so rare? What's wrong with me persuading him to go on a mission? Mother will make a big fuss!"

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't know why his sister-in-law had so much confidence in Cao Bin. Could it be because of the extermination of Liangshan bandits.

Is this too hasty?In the final analysis, Liangshan is nothing more than a group of grassroots bandits.

The current situation of the Cao family is worse than that of the Yang family. There are at least a lot of female elders supporting the Cao family, but the Cao family only has Cao Bin as a single seedling.

If Cao Bin died, then the Zhongjing Hou Mansion would be completely finished.

The Yang and Cao families had no festivities at all, and if the Yang family contributed to the flames, they would inevitably feel a little bit sorry, and Grand Master Pang would still bear a grudge against the Yang family.

At this moment, soldiers outside the door suddenly came to report:

"General, a secret report has come from the Western Xia Hengshan camp."

Hearing this, Yang Zongbao was shocked and said, "Hurry up and bring it here."

"How is it? Is Cao Bin okay?"

Seeing this, Eighth Sister Yang hurriedly asked.

Yang Zongbao shook his head while looking at the security guard and said, "Yuan Hao is really barbaric. As soon as our Song Dynasty mission arrived at Hengshan Camp, he ordered them to behead and sacrifice the flag."

"what?"

Eighth Sister Yang originally wanted to stretch her neck to watch together, but when she heard this, her face turned pale with fright and she said:

"Cao Bin is really dead?"

As she spoke, her eye circles were a little red.

Thinking of Cao Bin being impassioned, resisting the pressure for the Yang family, and slapping Li Zhichao to vent his anger for himself, and thinking of him playing Zhuge with high spirits.

Feeling ashamed and sad in my heart, I just feel that I have done a huge stupid thing.

Yang Zongbao had both respect for the elders and love for the younger ones for this young sister-in-law. Seeing her like this, he was frightened and hurriedly said:

"Just as Li Tang was being torn to pieces by Yuan Hao's five horses, Cao Bin was not killed, and he escaped unharmed."

As he said that, he quickly passed the secret letter between the two of them so that Eighth Sister Yang could see it too.

Bajie Yang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the words on the secret letter clearly, and laughed when she saw Cao Bin scolding Zhang Yuan for causing him to vomit blood.

Quite proudly said: "Cao Bin is really good! Dare to scold Zhang Yuan face to face..."

After the two of them read the secret letter, Yang Zongbao hesitated and asked, "Little aunt, are you... all right?"

Eighth Sister Yang said in surprise: "It's okay, I'm fine."

Yang Zongbao didn't want to ask too much, he just said: "That's fine, I still have to send the secret letter to the imperial court, what are you going to do?"

Eighth Sister Yang stood up abruptly and said: "I will lead a team to ambush near Hengshan, so that we can meet them at any time."

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something and asked:

"Zongbao, do you think Cao Bin and the others can convince Xixia?"

......

"Today, I discovered that Xixia is still transporting food and grass to the Hengshan camp, soldiers."

"Yuan Hao has great ambitions. I don't think he will give up attacking Da Song easily."

After the banquet yesterday, Cao Bin and others were arranged not far from Yuan Hao's palace, surrounded by layers of Xixia barracks.

At this time, Zhang Dun was telling Cao Bin about his speculation.

Cao Bin frowned, cursing:

"Hey, I still underestimated Yuan Hao's ambition. It seems that his goal is not in one state. Maybe he wants to break through Da Song and replace him..."

As he spoke, he shook his head in distress and said:

"We still have to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise we may be killed by Yuan Hao at any time, what's Zi Hou's idea?"

After returning to the camp last night, Cao Bin told Zhang Dun all the details of meeting Yuan Hao, so that he could be mentally prepared.
