Wanyan Qiu Chu naturally knew who Guo Yaoshi was, and also knew Liu Yixuan's intention to say this. Guo Yaoshi betrayed the Song State and made contributions when he went south last time. He had been granted a high-ranking official and generous salary by the financial master Wanyan Sheng. If he was tied up and handed over to this group of Song troops, Guo Yaoshi would definitely be unable to escape and die.

When Cizhou was besieged in the previous period, Guo Yaoshi stationed in Handan. He could have sent troops to rescue him, but he was unwilling to cause trouble for himself and did not receive a letter from Cizhou to ask for help, so he pretended not to know about this. Therefore, the garrison of Cizhou, Han Jicai, was defeated and killed, and the Wanyan Hong brother and sister were also captured by the Song army.

When Prince Wanyan saw that Guo Yaoshi was dead, he expected that he had not really surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. He still had feelings for the Song Dynasty army and was unwilling to meet with his old master. Then he wrote a book and asked the financial master to just be the commander of his military commander and only gave him a fifth-rank general.

At this time, Wanyan Qiuchu was just an envoy in charge of negotiations. He couldn't make any decision on returning the return of the pharmacist Guo, but hesitated and said: "If we want us to return the return of General Guo, this...is probably not easy to deal with."

"It's not easy to deal with? Is it not easy to deal with than raising 20,000 taels of silver? Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about. Go back and tell the old prince that he will prepare to attack the city. When you attack the city, it will be the day when his children die!"

"Oh, no, no! Young general, don't be angry. Let me go back and discuss with our prince again. The lower official is just a messenger who passes the message, and I can't do anything like this!"

"Well, this is true. It's not that I want to make things difficult for you. It's just that Yaoshi Guo is a villain who sells his master and seeks honor. Staying there is also a disaster. You exchange a surrendered traitor for a little prince and a princess. This transaction is worth it! Go back and tell your old prince and let him think carefully. Is it important for children or a traitor? Do you understand?"

Wanyan Qiuchu nodded and said, "I understand, I understand. When the official returns, he will definitely explain to my old prince. However, when my old prince comes, he told me to take a look at my two little masters. If they are all safe, I can go back and tell my prince so that he can consider the conditions you have to offer. So, please... I will ask the generals to give it a convenience and let me meet the two little masters in my family."

When Liu Yixuan heard that he was going to see Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Xueer, he knew what he was thinking. He thought that the same was true. Before they took the silver to redeem the people, they had to determine whether the hostages were still alive. So he said, "It's okay, since you want to get money, you have to let you see the goods first. To be honest, your two little masters are good. I treat them with good wine and meat every day, so don't worry." Then he said to Zong Ze again: "The old general, the messenger said he wants to go and take a look at the hostages first."

Zong Ze nodded and said, "Then you take them to the backyard to have a look. Remember not to let them chat for too long, so as not to cause trouble!"

"Yes, don't worry!" Liu Yixuan agreed, then took Wanyan Qiuchu to the backyard, and bypassed a corridor, he saw a small courtyard with exquisite staggered courtyards, with high walls built around them, and more than a dozen soldiers were strictly guarding them at the door.

Liu Yixuan said to Qiu Chu: "That's where your little master lives. How about it? We have arranged two prisoners to live in such a place, which is a perfect end, right? So, don't think that 20,000 taels of silver is too expensive. In the past half month, the living expenses of the brother and sister alone have cost me thousands of taels of silver. You old prince can't reimburse me some!"

After hearing this, Qiu Chu smiled and did not answer, and just walked. When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, several soldiers standing guard saw Liu Yixuan coming and hurried over to say hello. Liu Yixuan said, "This is an envoy sent by the prince of the Jin Kingdom. You are here to meet the two prisoners. You guys are watching well outside the gate!" Then he took Qiu Chu into the courtyard.

The two of them entered the courtyard one by one and the other, and saw a few little maids talking in the pavilion in the courtyard. When they heard someone coming in, they stood up and looked around. Since Qiu Chu was originally a general of the Prince's Mansion, many servants of the Prince's Mansion recognized him. A little girl recognized that it was someone from his own mansion and hurriedly shouted: "It's General Qiu Chu who is here, he is here to save us!" After hearing the shout, the servants hurriedly came over to see. Seeing that it was indeed a Jin general, they hurriedly surrounded him.

"General Qiu Chu, are you here to save us?" asked a little girl.

When Qiu Chu saw so many servants in the royal palace were alive, he was very happy for a moment because when Puyang City was broken that day, he only cared about protecting Wanyan and his sisters to escape, and did not have time to care about the safety of these servants. He felt very guilty afterwards. He thought they would be killed or captured by the Song people to be slaves, but he did not expect that it would be a blessing to be able to meet here again today.

Qiu Chu smiled at them and said, "Yes, yes, I'm here to save you back by the master's order." He asked, "Where are our little prince and princess, are they all okay?"

When Qiu Chu was about to ask, he saw Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Xueer had already walked out of the hall and stood at the door in a daze for a long time. The brother and sister never expected that their hometown would run to the Song army camp to see him. They didn't know what was going on. Could it be that his father sent him to save him, or was she also captured by the Song army?

Seeing that the two little masters were safe and sound, Wanyan Qiuchu hurriedly ran over and gave a deep salute, and said with tears in his eyes: "The two little masters have suffered. The last general came to rescue the two little masters and went home by the order of the old prince!"

When the brother and sister heard the word "go home", they couldn't help crying. During the past ten days in the Song camp, they thought about going back all the time, but they were defeated and captured and lost the city. They had no face to see their father, especially Wanyan Hong. As the eldest son of the old prince and the heir to future titles, he became a prisoner of the enemy. This made him face his father's generals and soldiers in the three armies in the future. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears. When he saw his old friend today, he was even more sad. So, the master and servant hugged their heads and cried. Liu Yixuan's eyes were wet when he heard it, because he hadn't been home for a long time, whether it was his home in the Northern Song Dynasty or the home in Beijing.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, why are you crying? Princess, don't be too sad. Your father is outside the city. As long as he takes the money, we will let you go back!" Liu Yixuan hurriedly tried to dissuade them from crying.

Wanyan Xueer heard her father coming outside the city, rubbed her nose to stop crying, and asked, "General Qiu Chu, did my father really come outside the city?"

"Yes, the old prince brought an army of 50,000 and was stationed outside the north gate."

"What are you waiting for? Siege the city quickly. There are not many Song troops in this city. As long as we attack the city, we will definitely defeat them!" Wanyan Xueer said angrily.

After hearing this, Wanyan Qiu Chu turned around and quietly looked at Liu Yixuan next to him, and began to talk to Wanyan Hong and Wanyan Xueer in Jurchen language. Liu Yixuan saw them talking whisperingly, but couldn't understand what they were saying. Suddenly, he remembered Zong Ze's instructions. He was afraid that they would discuss any more plans, so he said to Wanyan Qiu Chu: "General Qiu Chu, you have read it too, don't talk anymore, hurry back and reply to your old prince. If he can agree to our conditions, he will return the brother and sister and let your family reunite. Don't talk anymore!"

Wanyan Qiuchu was not willing to listen to it, and she was still saying something to the brother and sister. When Liu Yixuan saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly called the door, "Come here!" and saw a dozen soldiers rushing in and asked, "Young Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Liu Yixuan pointed to Wanyan Qiuchu who was explaining to Wanyan's brother and sister and said, "Take this person out quickly and don't let them talk anymore!"

Several soldiers rushed up, pulled Wanyan Qiuchu's body and dragged it out, while blocking his mouth. Wanyan Qiuchu didn't know what he was explaining, and kept saying to the brother and sister.

"***, I'm going to do this with me, hurry up and pull him away!" The group dragged Wanyan Qiuchu out of the yard, and several soldiers blocked his mouth and prevented him from speaking. Liu Yixuan said to the soldiers who were silenced: "I don't know what this guy said to the prisoners. You must take good care of them and send additional personnel at night. Whenever there is any situation, report to me in time!"

After hearing the order, the soldiers nodded and said yes. Liu Yixuan brought Wanyan Qiuchu to the front yard. When he arrived at the front yard, Liu Yixuan asked someone to let go of his mouth and cursed: "You cunning thief, bullying me, you don't understand your Jurchens, right? I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect you to show me tricks. Come on, pull him into the yard and hit twenty boards!"

When Qiu Chu saw that he was going to be beaten, he hurriedly said, "The two countries are fighting each other and the envoys are coming, why do you want to hit me?"

"I won't kill you! I didn't kill you. How dare you show me tricks under my nose? If I don't beat you, why is the law of nature? Come and bring a board!"

Liu Yixuan was about to hit someone, but when Zong Ze and the generals heard the movement, they walked over. Teacher Yuan ran over and asked, "Young Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Liu Yixuan said: "I kindly took this guy to see the hostages, but he actually started talking to the hostages in Jurchens behind me. I don't know what they said in a whine. It's really outrageous. If I don't beat him, it will be hard to relieve my hatred!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. Teacher Yuan said, "When this Jurchen person meets the Jurchen people, they will definitely speak some hometown dialect. As long as they don't stay for too long, there will be no big mistakes."

When Wanyan Qiuchu saw Zong Ze coming, he begged for mercy and said, "Old General, I and my little master didn't say much. They just comforted them with kind words, telling them not to be anxious and just wait for the old prince to come to save them. Nothing else said, the young general was going to hit me. If I beat me up, how could I reply to my old prince? I would also ask the old general to put the two families in the first place and spare the officials!"

Seeing that he begged for mercy, Zong Ze was unwilling to punish him. When the two armies were in peace talks, it was not appropriate to have another problem, so he smiled at Liu Yixuan and said, "Nephew Liu, it is not appropriate to hurt the harmony between the two armies. Let him go. You can send him out of the city and reply to his master. The matter of the Jin people stopping the army is the most important thing!"

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan had no choice but to spare Wanyan Qiuchu and send him out of the city. After all, whether Wanyan Jilie could agree to the conditions to stop the troops and return, and wait for the later text.
