Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 435 You are all weak
soon.

Hu Jinzhu and Fan Xian received an imperial edict to continue their mission, and the delegation set off and continued northward.

In the battle of Cangzhou, Nanqing remained silent and Beiqi did not react at all, and the thousands of people who died seemed to have not even made a splash.

After entering the Northern Qi territory, at the first checkpoint, the convoy was met by Shen Zhong, the commander of the Northern Qi Embroidered Uniform Guard, who came to greet them. Just like in the TV series, he had high brows, gloomy eyes, and thick beard. He looked like a bad guy, and the professional smile on his face was so fake that Chu Pingsheng felt a little disgusted.

He had no interest in dealing with this person, so he handed all matters over to Fan Xian and Hu Jinzhu. When passing through the customs, the empress dowager sent a few maids to take care of Si Lili. Because Chu Pingsheng refused to let her go, there was a quarrel, and Shen Zhong just watched and did nothing. The old woman with a protruding jaw became more and more excited as she spoke, and disturbed the sweet dream of the white ape living in the carriage storing tribute. The ape pulled his arms and legs and tore him into five pieces alive, and then... the world was quiet.

The delegation continued on their way, and no one dared to bother the two carriages at the back, including Shen Zhong.

After traveling for several days, the convoy finally arrived at Shangjing, the capital of Northern Qi.

At this time in the south of the Yangtze River, it was the season of flying catkins, bright sunshine, children outings, and kites flying in the sky. However, the capital city was like the willow trees by the creek outside the city, with only a little spring green. Although the sky was clear, the wind was still cold. The people entering and leaving the city were still wearing winter clothes and tried to hide behind buildings that were sheltered from the wind. They looked at the envoys from the south with unfriendly eyes.

Shen Zhong asked the car team to stop, and after a while, someone came to pick up Si Lili. But unlike last time, it was a woman in her twenties, all wearing white dresses, quite pretty, and obviously someone transferred from the palace. This time, Chu Pingsheng did not make trouble, and after whispering a few words of advice, he let her get on another carriage.

Then the convoy continued to move towards the city. Not long after passing the city gate, they smelled the fragrance of oil and the sweetness of honey. The people on both sides of the long road began to throw vegetable leaves, eggs, bread and stale rice at Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, who were sitting in the front carriage, making the two of them look very embarrassed.

This is normal. Nanqing invaded Northern Qi and forced the Zhan family to cede land and negotiate peace. Now that the delegation has entered the city, it would be strange for the people of Qi to welcome them. With the Jinyiwei instigating from behind, how can they not be excited?
Even though... Lord Shen kept saying that he couldn't do anything about it, those were all actions taken spontaneously by the people of Shangjing City.

Chu Pingsheng's carriage was at the end of the convoy. It was very quiet and no one threw anything into his carriage.

"Maybe the people in Shangjing City know that I am from Xihu and have nothing to do with you Qing people."

Chu Pingsheng picked up the bright yellow teacup with dragons and phoenixes painted on it, and offered tea to Hu Shaoqing, who had changed into a clean court robe and had his servants carefully dress up, looking his most energetic as he entered the city.

Hu Jinzhu looked at the teacup he was using, and then at the tender green tea bud and leaf in the cup, and he was not in a very good mood.

This gentleman and the white ape had almost destroyed all the gifts brought by the Kingdom of Qing. Only embroidery, ink, amber, tortoise shells, gold and silver jewelry, which were inedible and for daily use, were left.

"Lord Fan, Lord Fan has put the battle flag of the Seventh Battalion of my Border Army on the roof of the car."

An escort outside shouted.

In the battle of Cangzhou, many of the guards of the delegation were killed or wounded. Before the convoy set off, the eldest prince brought more than twenty carefully selected warriors from the border army to supplement the convoy. When these people saw Fan Xian take out the battle flag of the Seventh Battalion of the Border Army, which had made outstanding achievements in the previous national war, and inserted it on the roof of the front car, they could hardly suppress their excitement.

Hu Jinzhu was also very excited. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw Fan Xian standing on the lead carriage holding a battle flag, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, looking heroic and majestic.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chu Pingsheng put down the lamp, lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the people in Shangjing City: "Come, shout with me, Fan Xian, copying, copying books, copying poems, shameless, despicable..."

After his reminder, the people on both sides of the long road were stunned, and the shouting and cursing were like a contagious plague, from "The people of Qing get out" to "Fan Xian, you big plagiarist, you are shameless, you copy poems and books, you are a despicable villain."

The noise and rhythm on both sides changed, and Lord Fan, who was standing on the roof of the front car, felt embarrassed.

The battle flag of the Seventh Battalion and his copying of books and poems, these... are two things that are completely unrelated.

Wang Qinian, holding the cloth bag of vegetables that Fan Xian had caught, poked his head toward the back of the convoy with an expression that read "embarrassed" in capital letters.

I was thinking why that guy is always playing a role everywhere, is it okay for me not to join in the fun?

Chu Pingsheng was laughing so happily in the carriage that he didn't look like he was sitting or lying down.

Hu Jinzhu said with a bitter face: "Master Chu, you are the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince of Daqing after all. It's not easy to destroy the prestige of your own people, right?"

Chu Pingsheng poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the bright yellow cup that only the emperor was qualified to use, and turned it around: "Then if I become the husband of the Saint of Northern Qi, who should I favor?"

Hu Jinzhu thought, you? To be the husband of the Saint of Northern Qi? It was possible before, but now your master cut off Ku He's hand, your servant killed Lang Tao, and Haitang Duoduo has a deep hatred for you. Is she crazy? She wants to choose you as her man.

"Lord Chu, if that's the case, you are still the county horse of Qing Kingdom."

"Yes."

Chu Pingsheng seemed to have just remembered that he would marry Lin Wan'er and become the Prince of Nanqing after returning. He opened the curtains and said to the people of Qi who were lining up to "welcome" him, "I seem to have made a mistake."

After saying this he whistled.

Lanling Wang, who was in the carriage carrying tribute, rushed open the door, hooked his hairy hands on the edge of the hood, flipped over and jumped onto the roof, opened his mouth, roared, revealing a pair of long and sharp canine teeth.

Chu Pingsheng shouted through a rolled-up megaphone at He Daoren, a man in the crowd in front of him who was holding a long sword, dressed in black, and whose face looked a bit like the celebrity surnamed Liang: "That's it, the one who killed your Northern Qi emperor's master, Lang Tao." After saying that, he pointed at the white ape on the roof of the car. His meaning was very clear: if you want revenge, just do it, don't just pretend.

From the common people to the captains of the Imperial Guards and even He Daoren and Shen Zhong, everyone had a bad expression on their faces.

What the hell is this guy? Which side is he on? He just took the lead in hitting the Nanqing envoy in the face, and now he turns around and provokes people in the street, wanting them to fight the white ape.

No one dared to move, perhaps because they had heard how brutal the white apes were. Even unarmed civilians would be killed if they showed hostility.

From this point of view, they are still very rational. They know that if they fight Fan Xian, they will at most lose miserably. But if they cannot defeat the lawless and unrestrained Bai Yuan, the outcome will be death.

Roar……

hoohoo!

The white ape pounded his chest twice, pulled out Lang Tao's double swords from the carriage, and punched down in front of everyone. With a crack, the blades that were already cracked suddenly shattered and were thrown in front of He Daoren, the most powerful warrior on the Northern Qi side.

Lang Tao is of the upper ninth grade, and He Dao Ren is of the ninth grade.

Lang Tao was killed. Taoist He knew very well that he was no match for the white ape. He just held the hilt of his sword and stared at the white ape who was provoking him in public with a gloomy face.

Wow……

Maybe it was because Lanling Prince's murderous aura was too strong, or maybe it was because its face was too ferocious, a little girl about six or seven years old, with red lips and white teeth, wearing a green skirt and a pigtail, burst into tears.

As she started crying, a little boy of about five or six years old with hair cut like it was bitten by a dog started crying too. The originally quiet street was filled with the cries of children.

"Lanling Wang, look at you, you made them cry, what should we do?"

The white ape lost all its ferocious look and scratched its head in a very human way. It had encountered an unexpected situation and would not act anymore.

"Don't look at me. I didn't ask you to scare them to tears."

roar roar...

roar roar...

The white ape pointed at him, then at himself, and then at the little girl. He couldn't speak human words, but his meaning was very clear. He was the culprit and he was just a scapegoat.

"Okay, okay, I'll think of a way for you." Chu Pingsheng pointed at the carriage under its feet: "Aren't there a lot of useful and fun things in it? You can share them with these people. When she sees something she likes, she will definitely stop crying."

Lanling Wang took his words seriously and pushed all the large and small containers in the carriage to the ground.

There was only a loud noise.

The lid of the container was opened and the contents fell to the ground.

Smooth and translucent silk products, brocade with seasonal flowers, magnificent lacquerware, lifelike embroidered round fans, ivory Pai Gow chess, southern coconut carvings, top-grade musk, Xilei kiln porcelain, headdresses made of white eagle feathers, pearl pendants, filigree food boxes, pure gold Pixiu...

Colorful and dazzling.

The people on both sides of the road were stunned.

The members of the delegation stood there stupidly. They had never expected that after Bai Yuan and Chu Pingsheng had already taken away the edible and drinkable items like fruits, tea and wine, they would now set their sights on these expensive daily necessities.

There is a question here. Although Qing was the victorious country, why did it bring so many good things when it went to Qi?
The answer is actually very simple, because in addition to taking Yan Bingyun home, there is also the task of marriage to be done - in order to ease the tension between the two sides, the Northern Qi side will take the Northern Qi princess with them to Southern Qing when the delegation returns, and marry the eldest prince Li Chengru. And those precious porcelain, gold and silver wares, silk fabrics, and jade products are considered as the objects of Nanqing's marriage proposal. Now they are scattered on the ground and witnessed by the people around Changdao.

If someone else had done the same thing, the delegation guards would have chopped him down with their swords, but when it came to the white ape, no one dared to move.

Most of the people in the delegation had experienced the battle at the campsite, and all of them knew who wanted to kill Chu Pingsheng. Bai Feng killed thousands of border soldiers in one blow, which was considered a vent for his anger, but Chu Pingsheng himself was still holding back his anger. Look at his attitude towards Fan Xian just now. Whoever dared to stand in his way would be the first corpse to enter Shangjing City, just like when the Queen Mother passed away, he entered the city in red clothes during the national mourning and killed the personal guards of Privy Envoy Ye Zhong cleanly.

That’s right, Chu Pingsheng was waiting for an opportunity to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.

But no one wants to be that chicken!
