Chapter 354: Treason for the country

The weather was so hot that Gao Qiu was so wet all over, like a sauna, so hot that he wanted to stick out his tongue to cool down.

Knowing that Ximen Qing was giving him a warning, Gao Qiu didn't want to worry about it anymore. He just wanted to go to the city quickly and get cooler, and then want to take revenge.

The guard took the official document handed over by Gao Qiu, then rode his horse to the city gate and shouted, "Hey, the person above listen, the official document is here? Why don't you open the city gate quickly?"

"What are you shouting? Is it annoying? The weather is so hot, I finally fell asleep and woke me up again!" Just now, the little soldier rubbed his eyes, then poked his head out, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and asked, "Where is the official document? Come on!"

When the guard heard this, he was stunned. Then he looked around in a daze, but didn't find anything in the hanging basket. How could he send the official documents up? Then he would fly up by himself?

The guard asked, "There are no hanging baskets, ropes, etc., so how can I send them up? Just come down and open the door, won't it be enough!"

The little soldier shook his head and said, "No commander's order, it's a delusion to let me open the door! As for how to send the official documents, that's your business!"

The guard was so angry that he wanted to kill someone. Then he thought about it before shooting the official document onto the city tower with a bow and arrow.

The little soldier untied the official documents and then said to the guards under the city: "Oh, I forgot to tell you that my commander is in Tanzhou City, so it's useless for you to shoot the official documents. I still can't open the door, so you'd better go to Tanzhou City to find my master!"

After saying that, the little soldier smiled and retracted his head.

The guards were so angry that they were almost crazy.

Then he returned to Gao Qiu and explained the incident in detail.

Gao Qiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "We just came from Danzhou City and didn't see the thieves in Liangshan along the way. Now he said that the thieves in Danzhou City are simply deceiving me! It's really hateful! When I enter the city, I will definitely kill all the soldiers guarding the city!"

At this time, the captain next to him smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sir, when we came from Danzhou City, there were indeed teams heading towards Danzhou City. Maybe that team was a hero from Liangshan!"

"What?" Gao Qiu was furious and cursed: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The captain said, "There are only twenty or thirty people in that team. I thought they were simple patrol soldiers, so I didn't care. Now that I think about it, I realized that those people are extremely magical and powerful, and they are simply generals. How could they be just simple patrol soldiers?"

Gao Qiu took a deep breath, then wiped his sweat, and shouted: "Go back to Tanzhou!"

Immediately, the 30,000 army changed to the rear and began to return to Tanzhou City.

At this time, Ximen Qing was indeed in Tanzhou City, and he did pass by Gao Qiu's army's eyes. As for why he did this, the purpose was naturally to anger Gao Qiu.

Since Ximen Qing and Wu Yong conspired that night, they have formulated a vicious plan against Gao Qiu. Now that angering Gao Qiu is the first step in the plan.

Gao Qiu took three days to finally return to Tanzhou City. He worked back and forth these days, but he was exhausted and lost more than ten pounds. At this time, he was so angry that he wanted to bite Ximen Qing to death!

After entering Tanzhou City, he saw Zhao Anfu running over quickly. He bowed and smiled as he was far away, "Oh, isn't this the Taiwei? How did the Taiwei go and come back?"

Gao Qiu exhaled heat, glared at Zhao Anfu, and immediately entered the city lord's mansion, then drank a glass of cold water, and asked, "Where is Ximen Qing? Let him come to see me quickly!"

Zhao Anfu was stunned, then smiled and said, "Pioneer has just left, and it has not been an hour since he left. Master Taiwei, you are so unfortunate!"

"What?" Gao Qiu was so angry that he jumped up, then smashed the teacup in his hand and shouted: "Ximen Qing! You are waiting!"

......

After Ximen Qing returned to Jizhou City, he and Wu Yong found Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian.

Xiao Rang asked, "Commander, what's the point of finding me?"

"Yes?" Jin Dajian also asked hurriedly.

Ximen Qing asked the two of them to sit down and asked immediately: "I have something to do with you! Do you understand the words of Liao Kingdom?"

Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian both nodded.

Xiao Rang said: "I have no power to tie a chicken, but I still have some research on my knowledge and am quite familiar with the language of Liao. What's wrong with the commander? Have you captured the Liao people? Want me to be a translator?"

Jin Dajian, who was standing aside, also said: "I can speak Liao language, but most of the people in Liao are speaking Chinese language. Their Liao language is not very famous, and it is also awkward and difficult to understand and unpleasant! Generally, only large scenes or formal letters can be used in Liao language!"

Ximen Qing nodded and thought to himself, no wonder the general of Liao Kingdom spoke fluent Chinese, it turned out that his own language was not popular.

Then Ximen Qing said, "That's right, you also know that the court sent Gao Qiu to be the deputy commander. If Gao Qiu came to Jizhou City, it would be enough for us to drink a pot. Then we would not even have a peaceful life. In addition, Gao Qiu is a great treacherous minister, and everyone wants to get rid of it quickly. So I discussed with the scholars and planned to be the best way to die in the darkness. If the Yin is not dead, he would send him back to the court!"

Xiao Rang clenched his fists and said, "One of the four treacherous ministers, if I hadn't had the ability, I would have wished to kill him with one sword! It's a big thing I can't ask for now. Commander, do you have any instructions, just say it!"

Ximen Qing smiled and said, "I discussed with the scholars and planned to sell the national fortune. Xiao Rang, you write a letter in Liao language. Well, just write it as the prince of Liao. The target is naturally Gao Qiu. In the letter, you should propose to cooperate with me and deal with Liangshan. Of course, don't be too explicit to avoid Gao Qiu's awareness. This is measured by you. Jin Dajian, as for the seal of the letter, you will carve it. You can do it as soon as possible. It is best to hand it over to me before Gao Qiu comes to Jizhou City!"

Xiao Rang said: "This matter is left to us!"

After saying that, the two of them retreated.

Ximen Qing stretched his waist, then leaned on the chair, and then asked Wu Yong with a smile: "Scholar, do you think Gao Qiu will be fooled?"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "It's certain to be deceived! Emperor Yi, if you don't know Gao Qiu, he is definitely a person who can do anything without profit! Only with good treasures, let alone selling his country, even if he sells his ancestors, he is willing to do it! He has a desire for treasure, which is a perverted mental arising from his humble origin but holding important positions. He always believes that relying on treasures can one show his identity and status."

As he said that, Wu Yongzhe laughed and said, "What's more, Gao Qiu hates you so much now!"

Ximen Qing was stunned and then smiled and said, "Oh, you said you were teasing him! This is not your idea!"

Wu Yong said: "Don't worry about who's the idea, Gao Qiu holds a grudge against you, that's your idea! He is a vengeful person. You teased him twice and asked him to run in Tanzhou and Jizhou. How could he not hate you to death?"

Ximen Qing nodded, then touched his chin and said, "Then wait for a good show!"

―――――――――――――――――

Xiao Rang wrote the letter, then stamped the seal, and handed the letter to Ximen Qing.

Then, Ximen Qing sent Shi Xiu to pretend to be a Liao people, then took a few followers, took letters and five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and then went to Tanzhou City.

Although there was a war between the Song and Liao countries, merchants could still pass through, but the search was more careful and it was more troublesome to enter the city. However, Shi Xiu and others had special pass orders, so they easily entered the city.

Then Shi Xiu came to the city lord's mansion, reported the famous post, and visited Gao Qiu.

When Gao Qiu heard that a Liao vendor was asking for a meeting, he was shocked and immediately asked the guards: "Where is Zhao Fu?"

The personal guard said: "Go back to the Grand Marshal, Lord Zhao went to the military camp to inspect the recruitment situation."

Gao Qiu nodded and then said, "Come in quickly to the Liao Dynasty vendor, remember, keep the action confidential!"

"Yes, sir!" the guard responded. Then he brought Shi Xiu in.

When Shi Xiu saw Gao Qiu, he bowed his hand and then said in Liao language: "Master Taiwei, you are polite!"

The Taiwei couldn't understand it, and then said to a middle-aged man beside him: "Tell him, you Liao people are really happy. You guys came here just now! Haha, this is three days ahead of the original plan."

As soon as Gao Qiu said this, Shi Xiu was shocked.

Plan, what plan? Gao Qiu knew it in his heart?

Then, Shi Xiu shook his head secretly!

The plan formulated by Ximen Qing is so hidden that Gao Qiu will definitely not know. So the plan he mentioned is definitely not the national fortune that Ximen Qing made.

What would that be? Suddenly, Shi Xiu's eyes lit up, and his hand that was about to take out the letter was stunned.

Shi Xiu was very smart. When he changed his mind, he knew that Gao Qiu regarded himself as someone else. This other person was also from the Liao Dynasty, and he was probably from the Liao Dynasty who had a secret plan with Gao Qiu!

Thinking of this, Shi Xiu planned to follow the rope and touch the melons.

Then Shi Xiu smiled and then said only: "No, no, no, thank you, Gao Dadi!"

After saying that, Shi Xiu clapped his palms and asked his followers to carry five large boxes in and then open them.

Suddenly, the brilliant golden light made Gao Qiu's eyes straight.

Gao Qiu touched his beard greedily, then laughed and said, "Teacher Chu is so polite. Last time, he sent five more gifts. You are so polite! If you go back and report to Tai Shi Chu, you will say that we have a common enemy. I will definitely plot against Ximen Qing and the Liangshan army!"

Shi Xiu's face did not change, but his heart was rumbling: he had no calculations. When Gao Qiu came here, he was actually bribed by the Liao Dynasty Grand Master! No wonder he was so diligent in Jizhou to assist in the leadership and governance. It turned out that he had a conspiracy in his heart!

Then, Shi Xiu nodded, thought that the snake had a few words, and then said goodbye.

After finding an inn to stay, Shi Xiu hurriedly found Dai Zong and asked him to report the situation to Ximen Qing quickly and let Ximen Qing decide!

Dai Zong knew that this matter was important, so he did not dare to delay it. He immediately started practicing magic tricks. He returned to Jizhou City in a few hours and found Ximen Qing and told Gao Qiu in detail.
