Chapter 423 Zhang Conglong: How could you slander someone's innocence like this? [2 Updates]

Posthouse.

"What? Zhou Ang is dead?"

Zhang Conglong was still in shock when he returned to the post station, but the imperial court had already sent Grand Commandant Su Yuanjing to comfort him.

When Su Yuanjing recounted what happened next, Zhang Conglong couldn't help but gasp:
"How did you die?"

Su Yuanjing didn't know why Zhang Conglong was so interested. He had only mentioned it casually, but now he had to explain it to him in detail.

Zhang Conglong's expression changed: "There are more experts?"

This must be some kind of supernatural occurrence!

Yue Fei's archery skills had already amazed Zhang Conglong, but he never expected that Cai Fu had a subordinate named Hua Rong!
What Zhang Conglong didn't expect was that Cai Fudu had left the city, and Zhou Ang was punished for bragging!

What a terrible place! Even bragging can be life-threatening!
This shows what?
The capital of the Song Dynasty has been infiltrated by rebels and turned into a sieve!
Think carefully!

Zhang Conglong suddenly realized that the southern barbarians were not as weak and easy to bully as he had imagined, because there was still Cai Fu!
The vast majority of the southern barbarians he had encountered before were timid, servile, and obsequious...

The vast majority of the southern barbarian armies he had encountered before were utterly vulnerable and collapsed at the first touch...

Why is Cai Fu such a good fighter?
Why are Cai Fu's men all so good at fighting?

No, I must report Cai Fu's true situation to the Wolf Lord when I get back...

Slow!

If I report Cai Fu's true situation to the Wolf Lord, wouldn't that expose my tragic experience of being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by a ten-year-old barbarian?

Will anyone still call themselves a warrior of the Jin Dynasty in the future?

Zhang Conglong hesitated. Maybe he should just keep quiet, after all, Cai Fu was just a traitor...

Su Yuanjing asked Zhang Conglong, "Prince Consort, I heard that you were fighting with the rebels before Zhou Ang arrived..."

"Who said that?"

Zhang Conglong's face darkened, and he retorted sharply:

"I do not know how?"

Su Yuanjing looked completely bewildered: "I heard from the soldiers at the small training ground that the prince consort and a boy wielding a large hammer..."

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense!"

Zhang Conglong immediately became agitated, his face flushed red as he slammed his fist on the table:
"He's slandering me! He's slandering me!"

Su Yuanjing: Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhang Conglong coughed violently because he was too excited and aggravated his injuries!

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed squarely on Su Yuanjing's face.
"puff--"

Su Yuanjing wiped his face and saw that his hands were covered in blood. He couldn't help but gasp.
"Your Highness, are you injured?"

"I'm not hurt!"

Zhang Conglong glared at him fiercely:
"I'm just angry, how can you slander me like this?"

Su Yuanjing: (_)
Jin Gu Lu was there to support Zhang Conglong:

"We were just riding horses in the training ground, unaware that they were rebels, and we even had a contest of horsemanship with them!"
"Don't spread rumors, or don't blame us for going to the imperial court to seek justice from your emperor!"

Is it just comparing horses, not people?
Su Yuanjing ultimately didn't dare to ask, after all, the Jin envoy was someone even Emperor Huizong of Song couldn't afford to offend...

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Su Yuanjing wiped away a cold sweat:
"This humble official will return immediately to report and request His Majesty to send an imperial physician to the驸马 (the驸马)..."

"Why send the imperial physician? I'm not injured!"

Zhang Conglong snorted coldly: "Don't make me angry anymore!"

"Marshal Jin, see the guests out!"

"Yes!"

Jin Gu Lu stood up and walked up to Su Yuan Jing, his eyes glaring at him like those of a wolf:
"Grand Commandant Su, please!"

Left with no other choice, Su Yuanjing bowed to Zhang Conglong and returned to the palace to report to Emperor Huizong of Song.

After Su Yuanjing left, Zhang Conglong reminded Jin Gulu:
"Tell your men that no one is allowed to tell anyone!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

"This subordinate understands!"

Jin Gu Lu couldn't be happier, after all, it was quite embarrassing for him to have his weapon knocked away by a ten-year-old Nanman in one move...

...Li Mansion.

"Humph!"

The Grand Counselor Li Gang slammed his hand on the table in a fit of rage:

"These traitors are truly lawless!"

"What do they take Tokyo for?"
"You can come and go as you please?"

"Forget it."

His wife gently persuaded him:
"My lord, this is not something you can control..."

At this moment, the tall, strong man who was reporting the news to Li Gang couldn't help but say:

"Master, a ten-year-old general under the command of the King of Qi has defeated Jin Gulu and Zhang Conglong in succession, which has really made us Song people proud!"

Why are you still cursing him?

"fool!"

Li Gang was even angrier:

"They attacked the Jin envoy. If this triggers a war between the Song and Jin, then our Great Song Dynasty will be in grave danger!"

"Shouldn't we condemn those who cause widespread devastation and death for a moment's anger?"

The grown man retorted bluntly:
"The master also cursed the Jin envoy in court today!"
"Aren't you afraid that this will trigger a war between the Song and Jin dynasties?"

Li Gang shook his head with a wry smile: "The Jin envoy was arrogant and overbearing, and no one in the court dared to respond!"

"Can I not scold them?"
"If the Song Dynasty didn't even have a single tough nut to crack, the Jin army would have already invaded!"

The tall, strong man then asked, "Isn't the King of Qi strong?"

"What King Qi? He's a traitor!"

Li Gang glared at him:
"National affairs are not as simple as you think; you need to grasp the right balance!"
"Cai Fu is too stubborn, and stubbornness is easily broken, Zhang Bao!"

Feeling he had said too much, Li Gang waved his hand:

"Zhang Bao, go back to the post station and inquire again."

Zhang Bao accepted the order and left, and Li Gang sighed.

His wife asked him, "My lord, why do you sigh again?"

Li Gang shook his head with a wry smile:

"I lament that Cai Fu has so many skills, yet he cannot be of use to the court!"
"If Cai Fu were still in power today, how could the Jin envoy be allowed to act so arrogantly?"

The lady pressed on curiously, "Aren't you afraid that Cai Fu will strike the Jin envoy in court, triggering a war between the Song and Jin dynasties?"

"Can that be the same?"

Li Gang shrugged:
“Cai Fu is a traitor. He attacked the Jin envoy, and he didn’t participate in the Song-Jin war!”
"Not only did he not participate in the war, but he also stabbed us in the back when we were fighting against the Jin Dynasty!"

"So what if Cai Furuo was a great general of the Song Dynasty and he beat up the Jin envoy?"

"He should be put in command during the Song-Jin War!"
"With Cai Fu's literary and military talents, and with him in command, how could our Great Song Dynasty have suffered such devastation and loss of life?"

The lady blinked: "I see..."

……

Royal study room.

"Four times already! Four times already!"

Emperor Huizong of Song, trembling, held up four fingers, his face full of anger, his eyes moist:
"Cai Fu has already caused trouble in Tokyo four times!"

"This time, not only was Zhou Ang killed, but the Jin envoy was also attacked!"
"Gao Qiu, is there any way you can still offer amnesty?"

Gao Qiu explained tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I am ready and will depart for Shandong tomorrow!"

"roll!"

Emperor Huizong of Song once again overturned the table:
(ノBenefit)ノ彡┻━┻

"If you can't recruit Cai Fu, Gao Qiu, you don't need to come back!"

Emperor Huizong was so angry that his whole body trembled:

"If you can't even handle a rebel, what use are you to me?"

Gao Qiu: (_)
【Don’t worry, there’s more to come】
