Chapter 143
South of Yanjing City.

At this time, this vast and flat land has been arranged into a huge stadium surrounded by crowds of people.

Surrounded by patches of willows, the new yellow leaves hang down. Unlike the weeping willows of the Southern Dynasties, the willow branches in the north are a little less soft and more vigorous, and they are not very ornamental.

The entire stadium is divided into four major areas.Sitting to the south were the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin. Except for the current wolf lord, almost all other important nobles were present.Zong Han sat in the middle with a very arrogant expression, and eight beauties stood aside, serving him meticulously.On both sides of him are Zongwang, Gaitian King Zongxian, Jin Wushu, Gushen and other marshal-level nobles.

On the east side were the original Khitan generals and Han generals, who also brought their families, which was very disturbing.

The most striking thing is a group of people in the north—a man with shaved and braided hair, and a woman with braided hair and disheveled hair, wearing various colors of left lapel sheep fur. The men's clothes are narrow and the women's clothes are fat.This group of people turned out to be the "Second Sage" of the Song Dynasty and a group of concubines and princesses.

The seats of the Song Dynasty envoys are arranged in the west, facing the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers far away.

It turned out that this seat was also carefully planned, apparently for Song Guoshi's show to see how the "two saints" "be a slave to the north".

Yu Wenxuzhong is an old official, he understood the meaning at once, his old face flushed, and a gold official who had been monitoring the envoy waved his hand, he was allowed to lead several important officials to salute the old master, and immediately ran over, knelt on the ground, The old man burst into tears: "Chen Yu Wen Xuzhong kowtowed to the Taishang official family, the official family..."

At this time, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, from being rich and powerful in 28 years to being a prisoner now, has thinning and gray hair and a numb expression. He helped Yuwen Xuzhong: "Your Majesty Yuwen, you don't need to be polite, I am old and clumsy and dare not be called an official..."

Everyone knelt down and saluted. Only then did the prisoner of Song Dynasty understand that with the arrival of the envoys, he and others finally had the hope of returning to the south.

Hua Rong stayed behind with a group of low-ranking followers and mixed in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, not wanting to act out this "two teary-eyed" monarch-subject drama.She even found it strange. Looking around, the servants and concubines who were serving tea and water in the arms of the golden man were either the wives and concubines of the "Second Sages" or their daughters, sisters, nieces and clans... How could this "Second Sages" Can you still watch and be indifferent?Why don't you even have the courage to commit suicide?

If it weren't for them, how would those women be today?

Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze behind her, she turned her head suddenly, and saw Jin Wushu wearing a new outfit, riding slowly past on a black horse, as soon as she saw her gaze, she immediately looked away nonchalantly.

Behind him, Wu Qimai is leading a horse - Jinses!

……

Jin Wushu wore a brand-new horse outfit, and his ponytail-like black hair was tied up with a golden crown. He walked around the field full of vigor.Jin Guomin's sturdy style immediately aroused applause from the surrounding women.

Hua Rong looked at his complacent look with cold eyes, and thought to himself, this person really likes showing off.Looking at it again, I was even more surprised, I saw a few women dismounting against Jin Wushu, two of them turned out to be Princess Tianwei and Qin Hui's wife Wang Junhua.

In this way, the disgust towards Jin Wushu has increased a bit. This is not a "Shooting Willow Festival", but a "demonstration festival" to humiliate the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty!
She looked at the "Second Sages" in the north again, and sure enough, they didn't look this way at all, they only cared about the "monarch and minister talking", each of them looked numb.

She suddenly thought of the word "walking dead". Isn't this group of people walking dead just trying to survive?
But, obviously, all the humiliation has just begun.

Song Huizong and other monarchs and ministers saw the ceremony, and when they looked up, they saw a woman with a big belly staggering towards her, followed by an old Jurchen soldier with a high toe.

The woman's hair was coiled around her left lapel, and her face was haggard and ashamed.

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and all the concubines were also stunned.

Webster knelt down with tears all over his face: "Slave sees the official family, slavery deserves death..."

Webster!

The concubine of "Duke Hunde" and the biological mother of the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Wei, went to greet the "emperor's ex-husband" with the flesh and blood of a golden man.

Webster knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, he just sobbed blindly and shrugged his shoulders.

No matter how numb it was, all the Song prisoners also looked away one after another, unable to bear to look any longer.

Song Huizong quickly helped her up with his own hands, and also burst into tears: "Miss Wei, you don't need to be too polite, I am ashamed of you... I am ashamed of you..."

The veteran of the Golden Army standing on one side flaunted his might and said, "You said you would leave as soon as you met, but now that you have met, it's time to go..."

In fact, Webster didn't want to come by himself, but was forcibly pulled by him, and now he was humiliated in public, he couldn't help it anymore, and wept bitterly.

The veteran snorted coldly, pulled Webster away and left.

Everyone stared at this scene dumbfounded, and couldn't say anything for a while.

Hua Rong sat on the side, trembling with anger, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Jin Wushu's smiling face above him, that kind of triumphant, victorious rampant - humiliation!
All of this was arranged by him!

It was arranged by him and that group of despicable and shameless golden men, and it was arranged long ago!
Poor officials of the Zhao family have repeatedly told themselves to conceal the Queen Mother's "scandalous affairs" - how can this be concealed?
It's not so much the Empress Dowager's embarrassment, it's better to say it's the two foolish kings, it's Zhao Deji himself, and it's the shame of thousands of Song men!

40 people were disarmed, and none of them were husbands.

Hua Rong closed his eyes dejectedly, unable to watch anymore.

Zhahe who was standing next to her saw her hands clenched tightly, rattling loudly, and said strangely: "Little brother..."

Hua Rong laughed forcefully: "It's okay..."

In fact, Zhahe has been wondering today that this "little brother" today is so different from yesterday. Although she is still dressed in a strong outfit, her complexion is no longer that of a jaundiced patient, as if she has washed her face. Peel off a layer of "skin" on the face.

Along the way, almost from the first meeting, Zhahe has been secretly observing her, and always feels that this "little brother" is not right, her eyes are too bright, her lips are too red, her eyebrows are too delicate, her hands are too soft... Are there men like this?

The weather was fine that day, and Zhahe took a peek at this time, only to see the spring sun shining on her face, which had a kind of crystal clear whiteness.He is rough and simple like Zhahe, and he also thinks this "Haner man" is so weird.

He was very disturbed, not because she was sitting at the end of the envoy of the Song Dynasty, but because of her appearance, her behavior—is it true that all men in Han'er are like this?But why are other Han Chinese in the mission not like this?
Therefore, he never walked away and stayed by her side all the time, not knowing if he wanted to understand or discover something.Carefully, for unknown reasons, he subconsciously wanted to please this "han'er", and said earnestly, "Are you uncomfortable? What do you want? I'll get it for you..."

"Nothing is needed."

How could Hua Rong pay attention to his expression?Just looking at Zhang Xian and Liu Qi around, I don't know what other tricks are waiting for Song people in this grand event.

At this time, Zong Han and the others had already lined up and took their seats according to their order. After a burst of Jurchen's very noisy music, they saluted as usual.It was not a big deal for the envoys to salute according to the etiquette, but then Song Huizong and other captives saluted, kneeling on the ground one by one: "I thank the eldest prince, the second prince, and the fourth prince for your kindness..."

Hua Rong was behind, looking at the kneeling "Second Sage"!
There are so many people with lofty ideals in the Central Plains, how many passionate men are fighting hard, preparing the enthusiastic slogan "Welcome back to the second saint"!
Such two people, welcome back what to do!

She thought of her parents, and her family members who died tragically were all thanks to this stupid king, not only her Hua family, but because of his stupidity, his entire Zhao clan was "implicated" by him!

Retribution, this is the cycle of heaven?

But, why is it the turn of the aliens to be insulted like this?
Why is it the turn of the millions of people in Huaiyang to accompany them with their souls?
She stood aside, never confronted the "Second Saints" from beginning to end, and didn't even want to speak a word to them.On this point, she supported Zhao Deji completely and unreservedly—these two foolish lords must not be allowed to go back to fight for power.

After the salute, a group of Jurchen women came out to sing and dance, and then the "Shooting Willow" competition was about to begin.

Forty willow branches were planted on both sides of the field, each three or four feet long.Each willow branch has a few inches of bark peeled off to reveal the white stem; under the white stem is tied a colorful handkerchief.According to the rules of shooting willows, those who can shoot off the white stems of willow branches and can also use them are the top; those who can shoot them off but cannot catch them are the middle;According to the old days, the prizes are very simple, the winner gets a glass of toast, followed by a glass of honey water, while the loser is punished with a glass of white water.But this time is different. The winner will not only get a beautiful woman from the Song Dynasty, but also need to be toasted by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty himself.

At this time, the auspicious time has come.I saw two teams of Jurchen knights lined up separately.The 41 Jurchen knights headed by Jin Wushu are all in heavy armor, wearing a thick iron helmet with only their eyes exposed, and riding on horses.A knight held a triangular black flag embroidered with a white sun as the leader, and the other 40 people held a bow in one hand and a crescent arrowhead with no feathers in the other, and walked slowly around the field three times.

After all the etiquette has been fulfilled, Zong Wang, who is of great importance, will personally beat the drums, and Jin Wushu will be the first flying horse to circle the field.Desiring to show off, he aimed at a willow branch tied with a purple handkerchief, bent his bow and shot at it, and the arrow cluster immediately cut off the white stem of the willow branch.He galloped forward, caught the falling willow branches with his hands, then slowed down the black horse, and before the audience, took off his helmet and waved the willow branches in greeting; he immediately won a deafening applause.

On Song Prisoner's side, Song Huizong himself stood up to signal and applaud, but there was not much joy on his face. For such a demonstrative performance, what else can he do except forcibly suppress fear?
Jin Wushu had already rode over slowly with willow branches. Along the way, many women of the Jurchen tribe threw weak willows and wild flowers on him, leaving heads and faces.

He stopped at the seat of the envoys of the Song Dynasty, and Yu Wenxuzhong immediately held a glass of wine to salute: "The fourth prince is brave."

He smiled nonchalantly, but stared at Hua Rong, only to see that she didn't look at him, but was talking to Zhahe.He was very annoyed, on purpose, and she was on purpose, deliberately disapproving.

Regardless of her beauty, success or failure, she pretended not to see it.

He walked in front of her resentfully, she still said something to Zhahe, and Zhahe, that down-and-out Jurchen soldier, bent over slightly, very careful, as if what she said was nothing, and he was only obedient, extremely cautious .

He remembered Zhahe's words: "He is a good man, different from other men..."
