Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Tit for Tat

Amidst the sound of drum music, a group of people rushed into the cabin. The one who took the lead was a middle-aged man with a stern face, a stern look in his eyes, a tall, thin and long body, not more than forty years old.Wearing a blue long gown, with his hands behind his back, he is extremely calm and ruthless, it seems that he is undoubtedly stunned. Then came a ferocious man with a beard around his cheeks. He was dressed in a military uniform with a long sword on his waist. Compared with the long and casual clothes, the latter was more conspicuous and special. This man should be Hu Jie.

Behind the two men was a man and a woman in strong suits. The man has a long sword in his back, short and thin, but a pair of eyes are particularly bright; the woman looks at the long sword behind her back, she is all charming and charming, with a heroic posture, which is very eye-catching, her color is almost close to Bai Fanghua, although She owed the latter's provocative demeanor, but she had the masculinity and fitness that Bai Fanghua did not have. Then there was a child who at first glance thought he was twelve or twelve years old, but upon closer inspection, his head and hands were much larger than ordinary children, and he turned out to be a dwarf.

Finally, there are eight generals in uniform. Fan Han and others couldn't help getting a little nervous when they saw the other party fighting like this. Officials of all sizes in the arena have stood up to greet them. Han Baidi wanted to stand up, but Fan Qieji preemptively pulled the corner of his shirt, only to realize that he was not moving. In the end, except for Han Bai, everyone stood up and saluted Shurangama and the others. Shurangama and Hu Jie, who took the lead, came to Han Bai's main stage and smiled back.When the two found that Xie Tingshi was also seated, they were obviously surprised.

Shurangama's eyes fell on Han Bai's face, his eyes were focused, and he suddenly left the crowd and walked straight towards Han Bai. Everyone was stunned and didn't know what he wanted to do. Han Bai had a ghost in his heart, he was terrified when he saw it, and he tried his best to put on a smile. With an inscrutable smile on his face, Shurangan stepped up to the main stage, stretched out his hands, and reached towards Han Bai, intending to hold hands with Han Bai.At this time, even Fan Liangji was in a panic and didn't know how to deal with it. You must know that this kind of greeting ceremony of holding hands is popular in the underworld, and its function is mostly to test each other. and reality.

From this, it can be seen that Shurangama became suspicious of them, and even saw through that they were Han Bai and Fan Liangji, so he was not afraid of losing etiquette. When the matter came to an end, Han Bai calmed down, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand, and held Shurangama's lean and strong hand for a straight look. Fan Liangji secretly called out. Chen Lingfang, Zuo Shi, Fan Bao, etc. all raised their hearts to the top of their throats. Shurangama took Han Bai's hand, laughed and said: "I was born in martial arts, today I saw that the special envoy looks very good, and he is also a first-class martial arts expert in your country. I can't help but get close to him with the etiquette of the world. The special envoy should not be offended." .”

All the officials suddenly realized that there was such a reason in the book, so how could they have imagined the imminent danger in it. Han Bai felt that the other party sent a sliver of true energy from both hands, and penetrated into his meridians. He had no choice but to use the Wuxiang Ten Styles of Shaolin internal strength, greeted him, and smiled at the same time: "The commander-in-chief is so brave! Yun, it's too late for me, Pu Wenzheng, to make friends, so how can I blame him?" How clever Shurangama is, when he touches the opponent's internal strength, he immediately knows that it is the authentic Shaolin mentality, he is greatly astonished.

You must know that he had learned from Fang Yeyu that the disappearance time of the envoys and Han Fan coincided, so he became suspicious, so he decided to try each other, secretly thinking that Han Bai possessed a demon seed, and he was following the path of the demon sect. Based on his Shurangama's experience in the practice of magic kung fu, if he tested the other party, he would have nothing to hide from, but he didn't know that what he tried was actually Shaolin internal kung fu. Fortunately, by chance, Han Bai learned the Wuxiang Mind Dharma, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve Shurangama's doubts if it was a different school of practice.The so-called "All laws belong to Shaolin", all countries outside the region, who admire the martial arts of China, will not go to Shaolin to practice.As far as Leng Yan knew, for hundreds of years, people from North Korea have been going to Shaolin intermittently to seek skills, so it is not surprising that this "Pu Wenzheng" knows Shaolin martial arts.

Of course, assuming that Shurangama is going to formally compete with Han Bai in internal strength now, Han Bai is forced to use his real internal strength in order to save his life, so he will naturally reveal the details, but in this tentative transfer of internal strength, he only relies on The Shaolin mental method can handle the surplus without any problem. Shurangama's expression did not change at all, he let go of Han Bai's hand, turned to Bai Fanghua and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, Miss Bai's beauty is better than ever, I'm so happy to congratulate you."

Returning the gift from Fanghua, she bowed her head and said, "How can Fanghua deserve the appreciation of the commander in chief." Fan Han next to him snorted secretly, thinking to himself that the two of them were really involved. Chen Lingfang and Shurangama have a shallow relationship.The people who hadn't broken their skins for a day and apparently still belonged to the same department said respectfully: "Chen Lingfang has met the commander-in-chief." Shurangan smiled and nodded, without saying a word, turned around and walked back to Hu Jie's group, and then walked to the vacant seat on the right guest seat.

After Shurangama and the others sat down, everyone sat down one after another. There were beautiful prostitutes serving wine and offering delicious food, and the song and dance performance continued. Bai Fanghua leaned close to Han Bo's ear and said in a low voice: "The man, the woman and the dwarf are the three inseparable bodyguards of the Grand Commander, each with their own unique skills, especially the dwarf is a magic weapon all over him. Don't underestimate someone just because he is short. Of." Seeing that he had cheated Shurangama, Han Bai was complacent, but after hearing what Bai Fanghua said, he became confused again. He couldn't figure out why she reminded him to be careful with him. Isn't she from Shurangama?Wanting to look at Fan Liangji and look at his eyes, suddenly Hu Jie, the admiral of the Han Navy, stood up and raised the wine to him in a thunderous and majestic voice: "This glass of wine is to apologize to the Special Envoy, and the last general is about to I was concerned about the safety of my lord, so I behaved recklessly, please make my lord not remember the mistakes of villains, please forgive me a lot."

Han Bai hastily held up a glass of wine with him, saying that it had nothing to do with him. Hu Jie sat back, laughed loudly and said: "Unexpectedly, the thieves are so rampant on the big river. I don't know where are the eight little thieves captured by the special envoy. It is also the emperor's will to send the last general here to lead the navy." Han Bai cursed inwardly: You, Hu Jie, knew that he was not the one who captured the eight little watches, but you just said it was his business, and you are clearly an important person. If you say that it is not their business, the responsibility will fall on Ma Xionghe. On Fang Yuan, let me ask them how they can stop the other party's important people because they are small and weak.Chen Lingfang has no official position and has no say in this matter. Fan Liangji laughed, and replied leisurely: "For matters of protection, the admiral can inquire with the head of the bodyguard. Although the eight thieves seem to be dealing with Mr. Chen, we suspect that they are aiming at our envoy. As a tribute to the emperor of the Gui Dynasty, how can I ask if Wannian ginseng can prolong life and keep youth forever, who can not be tempted? Looking at the time of its action, it is accurate, there must be news from insiders in the government, so bullying Doing the opposite is extremely serious, that's why we demanded that these eight thieves be taken to the capital and handed over to the emperor of your dynasty, does Lord Hu have any other objections?" Han Bai and Chen Lingfang secretly applauded it, and Fan Liangji said that, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, no one could avoid suspicion, so if anyone came to force someone to demand.Isn't it obvious that he is the person behind the scenes? Hu Jie was at a loss for words, but said: "It turns out that there is such a reason behind it, so I have to take care of the head of the guard. I don't know if there are enough guards on the ship, but at the end we will send a good man to make sure." Xie Tingshi laughed and said: "Master Admiral, please rest assured, Wannianbao Counselor is related to the Emperor, how dare this department be negligent, Sir, please rest assured." Leng Yan said indifferently: "Before I came here, I didn't know that the Chief Secretary was actually on board, otherwise there is no need to worry about it." Xie Tingshi said: "The emperor has a decree that the lower officials are responsible for the safety of the special envoy's journey. How dare the lower officials not be responsible for the management along the way." Shurangan pretended to be surprised and said: "Lord Xie took the special envoy around a big circle and went to Wuchang to visit the mountains and rivers, and he didn't ask for permission in advance. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be anxious?" Han, Fan and others secretly exclaimed that Shurangama did not directly ask why the envoys had arrived in Wuchang, but instead sent Xie Tingshi to act on their own without notifying the court, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel anxious and tortured. Xie Tingshi's expression changed immediately, and Han Bai laughed and replied: "The commander-in-chief is serious. You must not blame the Chief Secretary for this matter. It is really at our request, and it is for the emperor of your dynasty. It is about these ten thousand years of precious ginseng. , although it has miraculous effects, if we owe a kind of rare spring water that is only produced in your ministry as an introduction, the effect will be greatly reduced. For this reason, we did not hesitate to go around in circles and search along the way. Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and finally found it for us. .” Li Chaosheng, Governor of Jiujiang Mansion suddenly said: "It turns out that the chief guard ordered his subordinates to bring the spring water from the Twelve Altars Immortal Drinking Spring to the boat. There is such an important reason!" Shurangama thought to himself that the other party seemed to be lying, so he couldn't help being half-believing, knowing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, and changed the subject: "Three years ago, your country sent an envoy to China, and the lower official talked with him all night, and asked about your country's envoy. I am very interested in cultural relics, alas! My memory is so bad that I forgot its name..." This time it was Han, Fan, and Chen's turn to be stunned. Chen Lingfang had been out of office for a long time, so how could he know who Goguryeo sent to the court three years ago? Now Shurangama is clearly trying to test Han Bai, the special envoy. Authenticity, because if Han Bai really came from Goguryeo, how could he not know who his country had sent to the capital? Seeing that his identity was about to be dismantled on the spot, Bai Fanghua's voice transmission sounded in Han Bai's ears: "It is your country's imperial minister Zhihai." Han Bai didn't know whether the other party should punish him or help him, so he had no choice but to say to Shurangama happily: "My lord's heart is the Lord Zhihai, the former emperor of our country. Not only is this envoy familiar with him, but Mrs. Zhi is also a My godmother, I don't know that he has such a deep friendship with Commander Leng, and they are all members of my family." But in his heart, he was surprised and suspicious of Bai Fanghua's drawing his sword to help, but also loved and delighted. The worry is that the other party has already revealed their identities, but the joy is that she is sure that she is not from Shurangama. Why should she help them? How could she be so familiar with court affairs? Chen Fan, the three daughters and Fan Bao were all stunned on the spot, not understanding why Han Bai could call out the name of the Goguryeo official, unless this Han Bai was disguised by the real Pu Wenzheng. What was even more surprising was Shurangama. From Fang Yeyu's report to him, he guessed that the two were Han Bai and Fan Liangji in disguise, but first of all, Chen Lingfang, who knew Goguryeo well, did not doubt them. They were accompanied by Xie Tingshi, the frontier minister in charge of the Goguryeo mission affairs, who came here from Shandong. He himself had tried that his internal strength had nothing to do with the demon species, and now he could answer the name of Naokai. With such a firm mind and confidence, So far, he can't help but shake up. Zhihai's visit to China was extremely secret because he wanted to hide it from others, even Xie Tingshi and others didn't know about it, and very few people in court knew about it, so if Han Bai knew about it, then he It is indeed a genuine envoy. Shurangama was not angry in his heart, and asked casually, "I wonder how Master Zhihai is doing now? Has he been promoted in the past seven years?" Even Bai Fanghua's pretty face changed slightly this time, and she couldn't help. Who knows if Shurangama and Naokai have been communicating with each other?The more understatement Shurangama asked, the more room for Han Bo to use his imagination, and the more hidden traps were hidden in it. Han Bai groaned in his heart. Fan Liangji winked at Xie Tingshi on the scale table, and patted his head, implying that Han Bai's head was damaged and he would not be able to remember many things clearly. Xie Tingshi has been an official for many years, and he is an old man who can distinguish color by appearance. How could he not understand Fan Liangji's meaning, knowing that if he wants to hide the fact that the special envoy suffered a brain injury due to robbery, he must help the special envoy, and he smiled in time. : "Before the special envoy came to Zhongtu, Master Zhi hosted a banquet for the special envoy, and the lower officials were also invited to participate. Zhi Lao has a stronger drinking capacity than the two of us combined, and his body is as strong as a cow. No wonder he can get better and better Long, he was promoted to deputy prime minister half a year ago, and he is so proud of himself!" At this point, Shurangama's doubts were all cleared up, because Xie Tingshi would never commit the crime of deceiving the emperor for Han Bai and Fan Liangji for any reason, so how could he expect such twists and turns. Han Bai, Fan Liangji and Chen Lingfang Qiqi secretly wiped a cold sweat. Afraid of Shurangama's questioning again, Chen Lingfang raised his glass to toast, and the atmosphere became harmonious and lively on the surface. Han Bai took the opportunity to call Bai Fanghua and said, "Why did Miss Bai give me some advice?" Bai Fanghua gave him a coquettish look, and said nonchalantly: "My son, you seem to be unable to catch up. I am afraid that your head will be damaged and you will forget about it, so let me mention it to you! Please don't blame Fanghua for unnecessary actions. " Then he pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Who knows that Mrs. Zhi is the envoy's godmother, so of course she won't forget it easily." Han Bai was confused. First of all, why Bai Fanghua knew that his head was "damaged" was obviously obtained by Lan Zhiyuan or his subordinates. But this could be an excuse, in fact, she knew that he was a fake, so she did him a big favor in the face of danger. If she is not from Shurangama, which faction should she belong to?Otherwise, how could anyone even know who the Goguryeo secretly sent an envoy to China three years ago? Which faction did Bai Fanghua belong to, why did she help him?Just now he unceremoniously offended her. Han Bai almost held his head and screamed in pain. Bai Fanghua came over and said, "Did I help you?" Han Bai's headache was even worse. If he answered "yes", he must clearly tell the other party that he is a fake, otherwise, how could he not even know the name of his godmother's husband, so he replied vaguely: "It's just Miss Bai's kindness, which has already taught me to impress." In my heart, I will never forget." Bai Fanghua smiled coquettishly as if she didn't care about what happened before, "How can the Special Envoy thank me?" Han Bai was stunned and said, "Miss Bai, how can I thank you?" Bai Fanghua glanced at him and said, "Fanghua wants you a ten thousand year precious ginseng." Han Bai was taken aback and said, "How did this happen?" Bai Fanghua turned cold and said: "I don't care, if you don't try to get me a plant, Fanghua will never give up." Fan Liangji's voice transmission sounded in his ears: "Promise her! This girl has seen through us, but it's better to add some conditions so that she can't figure out whether you promised her because you are afraid of being exposed." Han Bai sighed, put his mouth next to her ear and said, "Okay! But there is one condition, that is... that is..." Bai Fanghua urged: "What is it?" Han Bai waited for a while, but he couldn't hear Fan Liangji's prompt, knowing that he couldn't think of any conditions to be attached for a while. Bai Fanghua said impatiently: "A man, what are you talking about?" At this time, someone came to toast Han Bai again. After making a fuss, Han Bai looked at Bai Fanghua and saw her frowning, waiting for the conditions he said. , so this condition is absolutely impossible.But so easily giving a plant of ten thousand year ginseng to the other party is like revealing his identity, otherwise why should he be afraid of her threat? Thinking deeper, maybe Bai Fanghua still hasn't been sure whether they are real or fake, so he used Suo Shen to test their reality. Thinking of this, his heart moved, and he whispered in her ear: "The condition is that Miss Bai I must kiss you on the mouth!" Bai Fanghua was stunned for a while, stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Why did the envoy take so long to think about such a simple condition?" Han Bai frowned, thinking about it, and sighed: "I originally hoped to kiss Fangze, but I was afraid that the miss would flatly refuse, and then nothing would be left, so I changed to a kiss, what do you think?" Bai Fanghua looked at him deeply for a while, then smiled sweetly and said, "Okay! But you must never touch me except for kissing." When Han Bai saw her saying this, he seemed to be both angry and happy, his appearance was extremely charming, his heart sank, and he wanted to say a few more frivolous words, for example, that mouth would be kissed for an hour, and so on... Two crisp applause attracted his attention. The audience fell silent. It was Shurangama who clapped hands. All eyes were on him for a moment. Leeng Yan sat on the chair, looked at Han Bai, smiled slightly and said, "It's rare to be so happy tonight, how about letting my subordinate Erlang come to perform as well? Shorty!" The dwarf sitting behind him let out a shriek, jumped out of the chair, did a somersault in the air, and landed in the middle of the hall. Han Bai and Fan Liangji looked at each other, both felt inappropriate, but they couldn't stop it.
