The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 845 830 Four: Two people from Beiping Mansion are guests

Meng Zhifu ordered people to bring out Duan Wuji and Tieniu's horses, and then ordered people to bring his own horse over.

The three got on their horses and ran straight to the north gate of Handan City. As soon as they reached a crossroads, the prefect Meng stopped the horses.

"You two imperial envoys, wait a moment!

The five prefects haven't come yet, let's wait for them! "

Tie Niu wrinkled his nose.

"What did these people do, didn't you inform them in advance!
So dawdling, what kind of talk is this?

If you ask me, let's not wait for them.

Like them, how can they look like seeing off guests?

When they come, I must tell them well!

His grandma, do these five dog officials look down on us? "

Okay, this Tieniu scolded him as he spoke, Duan Wuji winked at Tieniu after hearing this.

"Brother Tieniu, you'd better not say a few words! If you let people hear it, it's so meaningless."

As soon as Tieniu heard what Duan Wuji said, he shut up and stopped talking.

When the prefect Meng saw Tieniu's appearance, he was shocked too!

Xin said: This iron bull's temper is really explosive!He was so angry just because he was late for a while!

After hearing this, the prefect Meng smiled and said: "My lords, I am to blame for this matter, I only notified them this morning.

Maybe it's a little late!

Don't be angry, if you want to be angry, be angry with me. "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Why are we so angry! If they come later, they will come later, what's the matter?

We don't have any major matters, it doesn't matter if we leave early or late. "

The three of them were chatting here when they saw dozens of war horses galloping towards them.

The five magistrates had already come over when they saw the imperial envoy, and they were so frightened that they greeted them all the way!

"Master Imperial Envoy, we are late, please forgive us!
Imperial envoy, we really didn't do it on purpose, so please forgive me!

My lord, even if you take advantage of our courage, we dare not despise Your Excellency Imperial Envoy!

The few of us did receive the news just a little bit late, otherwise, we wouldn't have been late! "

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Don't worry! We brothers won't pick on your gift just because of such a trivial matter!

You all came to see our brothers off, and our brothers are very grateful.

Why!Prefect Meng, what about the 500 people we brought here!

Why didn't I see their shadows! "

"Oh! I notified them a little earlier, so they must have been waiting outside the city.

Let's go, let's go out of town and have a look!

If they haven't come out yet, I'll send someone to call them again!
"Well! That's all there is to it, that's fine, then let's go!"

When the group of people left Handan City, they saw that five hundred cavalrymen were waiting for them by the road not far away!
Duan Wuji said with a smile: "My lords, as the saying goes, sending you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell.

Everyone, send our two brothers here!
Let's just leave it alone!
If there is a chance, let's work together again! "

"Master Imperial Envoy, you have to take care all the way!

We'll send it to you! "

Duan Wuji and the others waved their hands, and then led the soldiers he had brought along all the way north, heading towards the direction of Beiping Mansion and then came down.

Seeing that the imperial envoy had disappeared, prefect Meng and the others turned around and went back.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the troops and galloped all the way through Xingzhou Mansion and passed Zhengding Mansion. It was galloping in the starry night!

After dark, they rested in the barracks north of Zhengding Mansion.

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, the brigade led by Duan Wuji and Tieniu continued to march northward. When it was dark, the team arrived at Baozhou Prefecture.

The team stayed overnight in Baozhou Mansion, and the next morning, after breakfast, the army continued northward. The team galloped fast, and when it was getting dark, the team finally arrived at Beiping Mansion.

The prefect Zhao Zhifu of Beiping Prefecture and Su Dingfang, the commander-in-chief of Beiping Prefecture, led a group of civil and military officials ten miles out of the city to pick them up.

That Su Dingfang once received the great kindness of Duan Wuji and his brothers, not only did he not get killed for going against the Tang Dynasty, but he became an official because of Duan Wuji's strong recommendation.

This old Su father and son are grateful to Duan Wuji and his brothers from the bottom of their hearts!

Seeing Duan Wuji and his brothers come over today, the old Su father and son are very happy!

Su Dingfang jumped off the horse with his two sons, and kowtowed in front of Duan Wuji and Tie Niu's horses!

"Master Imperial Envoy, Su Dingfang is very polite to come to our Beiping Mansion today."

That Su Hu looked up at Duan Wuji and said: "Godfather, Su Hu kowtows to you.

Godfather!Hu'er saluted you, why did you come here, old man!

But miss me to death, Daddy!Now that you're here, let's stay in this place for a while longer!
We fathers and sons must get along well together!
Otherwise, I miss you too much. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Hu'er! You've grown a lot taller during this time!

I don't know if your martial arts have improved! "

"Daddy! Our family is from a family of martial arts. We practice martial arts all day long. How can we not improve our skills!

I'll be back in a while, and I'll take the time to give you a drill first. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Well! That's fine!"

Duan Wuji waved at everyone.

"My colleagues, don't be too polite, everyone get up!"

After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another. Duan Wuji and Tieniu led the team and followed behind these people, heading straight for Beiping City.

After entering the city, Su Long led Duan Wuji's cavalry team to the barracks.

Zhao Zhifu, Su Dingfang and his son accompanied Duan Wuji and Tieniu to the magistrate's yamen, and Su Dingfang said cheerfully, "Master Imperial Envoy, the friendship between you and me has not lasted for a day or two, we have dealt with each other for so long. It's time, you guys are here this time, why don't you live in the magistrate's yamen, you can live in my Nasu mansion!
You also let me, Su Dingfang, do my best to be a landlord, so that my wish is fulfilled, what do you think! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"We brothers can live anywhere!

As long as there is a place for us two brothers to live in, it will be different no matter where we live!

Prefect Zhao, do you think this is the case? "

The prefect Zhao nodded again and again.

"My lord, your life is so simple, I never expected it! Your life is so simple!

My lord, it is said that you should live in my magistrate's yamen. Since Lord Su sincerely invites you, then you can do it yourself!

If you want to live in my magistrate's yamen, I warmly welcome you, Mr. Zhao. If you plan to live in Mr. Su's mansion, that's all right!

As long as the adults are happy, you can live anywhere! "

Su Hu said with a smile: "Godfather! If that's the case, then don't go to the magistrate's yamen, you two can go home with us father and son!
Tonight, I'm going to serve you wine at home to wash away the dust!
Prefect Zhao, colleagues, don't you have nothing to do now!You go to my house together!
Today, our family invites you together. If there is anything, we will discuss it at the wine table! "

When the officials heard this, since there is a banquet tonight, it is not the same where to eat it!

When Zhifu Zhao saw that Su's father and son sincerely wanted to entertain the Imperial Envoy, he was also very happy!

The imperial envoy lives in their yamen, and he still has to wait carefully. If he doesn't take good care of him, it's not a big deal!

Although the imperial envoys and their meals are all reimbursed by the government, after all, one thing more is worse than one thing less!

As soon as Su Dingfang saw that the matter was settled, he galloped forward and ran to the front to lead the way.

Su Dingfang's mansion is in the very center of Beiping Prefecture. This street is called Confucian Temple Street, and the old Su family lives in this location now.

This house used to be the house of Du Yi and Du Wenzhong, and now the mansion belongs to him for some reason.

It is very close to the prefect's yamen, and it is about 100 feet away from the prefect's yamen!It's just to the west of the magistrate's yamen.

Duan Wuji took a look, this Su Dingfang's mansion is magnificent!

I saw the tall blue brick gatehouse, two bluestone lions as tall as a man beside the gate, and the two big characters "Su Mansion" written on the gatehouse.

On one side of the gate stood six gatekeepers, all of whom had knives on their shoulders!
Seeing this posture, the gatekeepers quickly opened the gate, and four soldiers ran over with their horses!

A soldier guarding the gate shouted loudly into the courtyard: "My lord, they are back home!"

Following this shout, seven or eight servants ran out of the yard.

These people frantically tied their horses to the horse stakes in front of the door.

Su Dingfang looked at these servants and said with a smile: "Take the horses of the two imperial envoys and our father and son's horses to the yard where we raise the horses and feed them with good grass and materials!
The two imperial envoys are staying in our mansion tonight. "

After hearing this, some of the servants rushed over and led the horses of Duan Wuji and Tie Niu to the mansion.

Most of the other people's horses are tied to the hitch posts in front of the door!

The prefect of Zhao said cheerfully: "This place is only more than 100 zhang away from my government office, so why don't I take my horses to my government office.

I'll be back in a little while. "

Su Dingfang listened and nodded.

"Well, that's fine too.

Mr. Zhifu, you have to go and come back quickly, we will wait for you at the door. "

"That's natural! This imperial envoy is here, do I dare to wander around in the government office?
However, in my opinion, you should go in!

It's not that I don't know this place, what are you doing waiting for me outside the door? "

After finishing speaking, the Zhao Zhifu rode a horse and ran straight to his mansion.

Su Dingfang heard that what Zhao Zhifu said was also reasonable, so he said to everyone: "Everyone, since Zhao Zhifu said so, let's go in.

This prefect Zhao and I are also old friends, he often comes to my house, I believe he will come over soon.

let's go!Let's all go in first!
Su Hu, why don't you hurry in and pour water for people! "

Su Hu agreed and ran in quickly.

Everyone followed Su Dingfang and walked straight to the gate, only to see how well the courtyard is arranged!

But see that: the rockery reflects the water in the pool, and the middle reaches of Jinlin Pond.

The flower pool is divided into left and right sides by the wall, and the peach tree is leaning against the room, which is fragrant.

Walking through the moon gate is a daughter-in-law, a wealthy family with carved beams and painted buildings.

Su Dingfang led the people into the spacious living room, and everyone found their seats and sat down.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu sat down in the two most conspicuous places, and other people accompanied them.

Su Hu frantically poured tea to the people bowl by bowl.

Everyone had nothing to do, they were sitting in the living room chatting and waiting for Zhifu Zhao and Su Long.

The time is not too long, so Zhifu Zhao and Su Long arrived one after another.

When Su Dingfang saw that everyone had arrived, he quickly stood up.

"Colleagues, be quiet, I, old Su, let me say a few words!"

When Su Dingfang said this, the living room fell silent.

Everyone didn't know what Su Dingfang was going to say, most of them put down their tea bowls and listened very seriously.

"My colleagues, let me tell you, Old Su! These two imperial envoys are not others.

That imperial envoy Duan Wuji is my dog's godfather.

That Tieniu is of course my Su Hu's uncle.

We have dealt with each other many years ago, but in the past, we were enemies!

I used to be the general of Liu Heita, and I was deeply influenced by Duan Qin and the others, so I was demoted to Tang.

To be honest, if it weren't for the two of them pulling up the pigtails, what would happen to our father and son?

In the past, Su Hu recognized my Brother Wuji as my father. To be honest, I have been really unhappy from the bottom of my heart for a long time!
Everyone knows that Su Hu is not a few years younger than my brother Wuji.

At that time, I thought this incident would shame my Su family!
However, my youngest son doesn't think so. He thinks that the imperial envoy is a hero in the world, a gentleman with affection and intention.

Now it seems that my boy's point of view is right. Since our family listened to the boy's opinion and saved the Great Tang Dynasty, our Su family now wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain will not rain!

Thanks to the emperor for not giving up, he still gave my old Su such great power, which makes me, Su Dingfang, grateful to Germany!

As the saying goes!Those who know the real things are heroes, and my old Su is the one who knows the real things!

Today my two brothers are ordered to inspect our Beiping Mansion. I, Su Dingfang, welcome you warmly!

It can be said that without their Lao Duan family, our Lao Su family would not exist!

Su Long, Su Hu, why don't you make a fuss about setting up wine? "

Su Long and Su Hu agreed and walked out.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Su Dingfang, Brother Su, don't talk about those things that are useless.

Our two brothers have always had a clear grievance and resentment, and have never minded personal gains and losses!

Who knows!Where there is a country, there is a home!If the country becomes weak, the common people will not have any good.

Only when the world is peaceful and the people live well, can we not be bullied by foreigners.

Brother Su, as long as you work hard for the country, you are doing me a favor. "

"Prince Duan, don't worry, as long as I, Su Dingfang, are with me, I will be loyal to Tang!

If the word does not match the heart, my old Su will die in the future! "

"Okay! Then I, Duan Wuji, will remember what you said today. Brother Su, to be honest, I am very optimistic about you, little brother!"

These two people were chatting, Su Long and Su Hu came in with seven or eight servants, everyone moved in with tables, chairs and benches, and started to arrange tables and tables!

In a short period of time, the tables, chairs and benches were set up. There are five tables in total!

After the tables, chairs and benches were set up, Su Long and Su Hu shouted loudly to the outside: "Don't be dazed, hurry up and serve the food and drink, there are so many people waiting."
