Knowing one's own cup of wine at a time was too little, so there was no need to speculate too much.
Wu Shan glanced at Liu Ci Shi, and revealed a difficult expression. Ever since he had arrived in the Southwest, it had been a long time since he had met someone like the Liu Ci Shi, who could enjoy life with him.
Seeing Wu Shan's difficult expression, Liu Ci Shi naturally could guess what was going on. He quickly stood up and bowed towards Wu Shan, then said to Wu Shan with a grateful expression: "Today, I thank General Wu for your hospitality, I am truly asking for mercy. Since the general still has urgent matters to attend to, then I shall take my leave. "
Hearing Liu Ci Shi's words, Wu Shan nodded slightly, smiled and said to him: "Lord Thorn is so serious, everything we have done is for the safety of our people, to clear up the world, if Lord Thorn has anything that can be of use to me, feel free to speak of it. No need to be polite with me. "
Wu Shan's face was full of sincerity, the Liu Ci Shi thanked him again and again, then left.
When Liu Ci Shi had just left, he had a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He stood behind Wu Shan and could not help but sigh. General, why do you have to agree to Liu Ci Shi? It's just a small matter like giving out official salt. The local yamen runners have their own yamen runners and constables, why would they muster up such a large force to use us? I'm afraid this is the Liu Ci Shi's plan. You still don't understand the situation in the southwest, so you must not listen to the words of others.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Hearing Vice General Zhang's words, Wu Shan smiled faintly, turned his head and asked Vice General Zhang with interest.
"According to what this lowly general means, the general does not need to care about this matter. He only needs to find an excuse to get rid of the Liu Ci Shi." As the Vice General Zhang spoke to Wu Shan, he approached Wu Shan and whispered into his ear: "General, if you feel embarrassed and do not know how to start the conversation, then leave this matter to this lowly one to do in the future. This lowly general will definitely settle this matter properly."
Vice General Zhang thought that Wu Shan only agreed to it because he saw how sincere Liu Ci Shi was.
"Absolutely not." Wu Shan's answer was firm and really gave Vice General Zhang a fright.
Wu Shan naturally knew what the Vice General Zhang was thinking, but before he could say anything, he said indifferently to the Vice General Zhang, "General Zhang, it is your job to seek justice for yourself. For the peace of the people we are the men who receive the pay of the court and the salary of the Son of Heaven. Liu Ci Shi is a good official, you can't be so unreasonable in the future. "
Seeing Wu Shan's resolute attitude, Liu Ci Shi did not say anything else and could only nod at Wu Shan.
Wu Shan opened his mouth, as though he still had something he wanted to say to Vice General Zhang, but due to the rush of time, he chose not to do so.
"General Zhang, has the southwestern envoy arrived?" Wu Shan adjusted his armor, and asked Vice General Zhang while turning his head.
"We're here. They're already waiting for you in the tent. You should hurry over." The Vice General Zhang regained his senses and quickly said to Wu Shan, before following Wu Shan and walking towards the direction of the big tent.
The southwest's envoys had already been waiting inside the tent for a long time. When they saw Wu Shan coming in, they immediately greeted him.
Wu Shan quickly walked to his seat and sat down, then promptly waved his hand towards them. He faced them with a smile and said: "There's no need to be courteous Sir and Senior Emissaries, you have travelled far to come here, I wonder if you have had a good rest in the army camp these past two days?"
Hearing Wu Shan's question, an envoy walked forward and bowed to Wu Shan, then expressionlessly said to Wu Shan: "Reporting to General Wu, the two of us are really not resting well."
Just as he finished speaking, Wu Shan's expression changed slightly.
Vice General Zhang's temper had always been violent. He stared at the person and spoke to him with a stern expression: "You unruly bastard. We, the generals, are kind enough to entertain you, and all the best generals are for you to use. I never thought that you people would actually not know what's good for you. If we knew that it was like this, even if our general agreed, the warriors of our Jin Country would not agree. "
Even though the Vice General Zhang was infuriated, Wu Shan still showed a polite smile on his face as he sat at the side. He extended his hand out to indicate the Vice General Zhang to stop talking, then turned to look at the two envoys in the tent.
Wu Shan's burning gaze startled the other ambassador. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wu Shan, "General Wu, please calm your anger, we did not offend you intentionally, so please give us a chance. After hearing what we have to say, General Wu, it's not too late to punish us."
"General, there is no need to be courteous with such arrogant people. We only need to hand them over to this lowly general and have him behead the emperor who gave them to them. All the soldiers of the Jin Country are brave enough to fight, and are determined to win, there is no need to negotiate with them. " Vice General Zhang said to Wu Shan from the side with a blade and sword in his hand.
Before the Vice General Zhang could finish his words, the ambassador at his side continued to speak, "Now that I have become the chopping block, I have become the fish. Since I am here, I am prepared to die for my country. If the general wants to kill, I will kill. If he wants to cut me up, I will cut him up. It was just that since ancient times, both armies never fought. Jin Country claims to be a great nation, do you have the presence of a great nation? "
Vice General Zhang became even more furious, he had always thought that all scholars were useless. He pulled out his sword and pointed it at the envoy's forehead. "You talk too much. It's obvious that your emperor doesn't dare to talk to us like this. That's why he let you two come here and talk to us about useless things."
After hearing the envoy's words, Wu Shan slightly nodded his head, looked at him with great interest, and then softly said: "Since the Ghost Messenger said that my rest wasn't good, then can you tell me the reason why? It must be made clear to this general just where exactly you offended the envoy to make him say such words."
The Imperial Emissary standing under the tent looked at Vice General Zhang and then turned his head to look at General Wu. He then bowed to General Wu and continued, "Reporting to General, this lowly official's bad rest in the army had nothing to do with the General's hospitality. The general was very hospitable and had everything he needed. This caused this subordinate to be terrified, and he dared not say that the general was unwell. However, this humble one has been living here and has always been thinking about my own imperial government. I was truly worried and fearful and thus was not able to rest well. I hope that the General will not take offense to this. "
