Yang Gun went to Ping'anjing with the letter of the country, and was also treated with the reception courtesy of Japanese officials, but failed to receive attention. [Read] Yishu·1?k?an?s?h?u?·c?c? Some officials came to visit and discuss, all of which were vague and perfunctory.

He suddenly felt that this trip was not easy.

Half a month later, another visitor came to the hall, but it was just a letter brought by a servant. Yang Gun opened it and wrote it in clear Chinese characters. He claimed that he was accused by the Japanese imperial court Ono and wanted to invite Yang Gun, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty, to go to the temple where he lives to have tea.

Fortunately, Yang Gun had been dealing with Youzhou South Court and Northern Han Kingdom for a long time and could understand Chinese characters, otherwise the letter would have to be translated.

Yang Gun was not familiar with Ping'anjing and was worried that he had no way to go. As long as there were Japanese officials who were willing to make friends, he had no reason to refuse.

He glanced at the servant with the letter, with a short knife on his waist, no hat on his waist, and a bun on his head, which looked like a man. He asked casually, "Why does Linggong live in a temple?"

The servant said in Chinese: "Ono-kun is proficient in battle formations and singular songs, and is also very good at practicing Buddhism. He always lives in temples."

Yang Gun nodded, "Please lead the way."

In a foreign country, Yang Gun only brought two followers, and a group of four rode out of the city. When they reached a mountain, they had to leave one person to watch the horse and abandon the horse to walk and climb the mountain. The winding and steep earth and rock paths in the mountains soon made Yang Gun quite difficult.

After walking for nearly half an hour, he saw the eaves of the temple in the lush forest. At this time, Yang Gun was exhausted and panting and dizzy. If he hadn't seen the roof of the house, he would have been a little unable to hold on. Yang Gun is also a martial artist, but in the northern grasslands, he rarely climbs such a long mountain road.

"Tu tu tu tu..." Mu Yu's knocking sound and the incomprehensible chanting of the Japanese scriptures was hazy. Yang Gun felt that his head was as if it was ischemia and had long lost any interest in appreciation.

The Japanese servant stretched out his arm holding a short knife, blocked the follower behind Yang Gun, and then bowed to the door of the temple in front. Yang Gun panted and said to the follower: "You can wait for me here."

He walked in the direction alone, letting a sigh of relief, so tired that he wanted to sit down and rest immediately.

At this moment, Yang Gun noticed someone kneeling behind him. He hurriedly turned around and saw a woman wearing a dress with a pillow on her back, wiping the mud marks on the floor with a towel. He looked down and saw that the boots were covered with mud, and the ground in the temple hall was spotless.

Yang Gun took off his boots calmly.

After a while, a bald middle-aged man with a thin face and a little short figure walked out and bowed, "The distinguished guest must be Yang Jun, the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty. I have invited Yang Jun to Ono Haogu. Please take your seat soon."

Yang Gun calmed down and pressed his hands on his chest to the man. Then he walked to a coffee table and saw a futon, so he sat down cross-legged on the futon. He took off his hat and immediately exposed his bald hair.

Perhaps this Japanese man thought he was weird, but Yang Gun also thought this guy was strange. He was shaved as a monk, but he was also a military general. There was also a woman in dresses in the temple...

Yogu Ono smiled and said, "Does the Khitans in the Great Liao Dynasty not speak when they meet and hold rituals?"

Yang Gun said: "When Han'er greets each other at the meeting, we just need to bow to show respect for the master."

Yoko Ono nodded: "People from different places have different customs, so we have to gradually understand."

Yang Gun thought for a moment and responded: "I am Yang Gun."

After hearing this, Ono Haogu suddenly laughed again and said, "So, Mr. Yang has come to Heianjing thousands of miles away to help us resist the attack of the Central Plains?"

Yang Gun said calmly: "I was entrusted by the Emperor of the Great Liao and the Privy Council of the Northern Court, Xiao, and came for this matter. I read the book? 1k?a?nshu·cc. I wonder if Ono Gong heard about the major events in Middle-earth. Shu, Tang, Southern Han, Eastern Han, Dangxiang Pingxia, and Youzhou of the Great Liao had been occupied by Xu. Xu Guo Shao was ambitious to expand and advance, and the Great Liao was deeply threatened.

Now the Great Liao has received the exact news. Guo Shao is preparing to invade the East Island in order to plan for the silver mines of Japan. If Japan can resist the attack of the Xu army, it will also have a great effect on the Great Liao."

Yoko Ono did not refute immediately and echoed: "It seems reasonable for Mr. Yang to say this."

Yang Gun hurriedly said: "The Great Liao Dynasty went to Beijing, and there were Han craftsmen in the Bohai Sea. They could help your country refine silver. Your country would be more prosperous by relying on the silver mountain. Our country could also help Japanese soldiers understand and deal with Xu's tactics..."

Yogu Ono suddenly changed his polite and humble disguise and interrupted Yang Gun a little unceremoniously: "The intention of the Great Liao court is that the two countries form an alliance to jointly deal with your powerful enemy Xu Guo?"

Yang Gun was stunned and a sense of anger came up inexplicably!

This Japanese man seems humble on the surface, but in fact he is very arrogant! He looks too seriously at his own family. The great Liao Dynasty is just to deal with Xu Guo, and is allying with Dongdao and relying on their power?

Yang Gun said coldly: "Mr. Ono may have misunderstood what he meant. The Great Liao court took the initiative to help your country, which was actually thinking about his own family. But the one who was really urgent was not the Great Liao, but the Guizhou state! I advised the king and minister of the country to prepare for an early military service, otherwise, would it be that the situation was coming, and would it be that the wind would be surrendered?"

After hearing this, Ono Yoko's face looked very bad. He took a deep breath and said, "Yang Jun probably misunderstood Yamato."

"Oh?" Yang Gun looked at him with great interest.

Ono Yoshino said: "Our favorite thing is cherry blossoms... Unfortunately, Yang Jun came by, and the wonderful cherry blossoms had withered at this time. It is really hard to happen to appreciate this thing. The flowering period is very short, and it witheres and flies at the most beautiful time."

He looked stern and said in awkward Chinese words: "You can only break your jade, but you don't want to be completely covered! For God Amaterasu Tai, the death of His Majesty the Emperor is the honor of Yamato!"

After listening to a long speech, Yang Gun's anger subsided, remembering that he had encountered walls everywhere in Heianjing, and offending this person was not the best choice. He changed his words and said, "I heard that Ono Koshimaka is a poet. The poet always has some hearts out of sincerity."

Sure enough, Ono Haogu was very helpful. He knelt on the cushion, leaned forward, bowed slightly to Yang Gun, and his tone became calmer: "I have no feelings and can't write a good song."

As he spoke, he raised his throat and suddenly started singing "Woo wow". Yang Gun was almost amused, but he couldn't laugh, because Ono's face was serious and he didn't look like he was joking at all. Yang Gun couldn't laugh and she sat there in shock.

At this moment, a woman came up with tea. Ono Yoko gently slapped her palm, sniffed it, then sat upright and closed her eyes and looked intoxicated. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and smiled: "The fragrance of tea... flowing water, cherry blossoms, grass and tree, all have Tao and Buddhism. Yamato people understand the original intention of Amazawa Taishen from all things."

Yang Gun said nothing. How could Taoism and Buddhism be mixed together? Did God Amaterasu Tai and the Buddha make friends with him, and could they drink tea together like the two of them at this time? Anyway, Yang Gun was confused. The temples in the mountains and forests and the people on the distant islands seemed familiar, and they were somewhat similar to Han'er, but they were mysterious and elusive.

Yang Gun thought Ono was so old and very particular about tea ceremony, but it was a little different from the style of Han'er drinking tea. In Yang Gun's feelings, the etiquette and culture of Japanese people seemed a bit artificial, but they were very distinct in deliberate; and Yang Gun had also seen various Han Er's feelings, and the Han Er gave him a more natural and thick feeling, as if a sentence was loud and loud, simple but very open-minded, and not deliberately... It is probably the Confucian things like Han Er were themselves, so they were not artificial.

When the woman poured tea into a small cup, Yang Gun did not drink it all in one sip... If it were a Khitan, she would like to cook cattle and sheep milk and tea leaves together and drink it in a big bowl. However, Yang Gun was knowledgeable after all, so she did not act in public. He just took a sip and tasted the tea flavor, which was a bit bitter, and didn't think it was very delicious.

Yang Gun said: "This time I came is not a false statement. Wan Wang will send people to inquire from many sources. If you believe this news, Ono can send someone to inform me at any time."

Ono Yogu nodded and said, "If Yang Jun comes to visit the door next time, I would like to talk to Yang Jun about Xu Jun's equipment and tactics." After he said that, he pondered for a moment, and repeated the previous sentence in a very interesting attitude, "People from different places have different customs, so we have to gradually understand, including the enemy."

Yang Gun felt that the conversation was about ending, so he got up, bowed and held the tribute, and left to put on his shoes.

He turned around and thought about the last sentence of Ono Yoko just now. Maybe Ono Yoko thought the same sentence had two meanings twice, so he thought he was very wise. Anyway, this guy is very strange. Since he is a warrior, why are you doing art?

Poet! A sneer appeared on the corner of Yang Gun's mouth.

Anyway, today's trip is not very pleasant, because when he returns, he has to walk the difficult mountain road again. The steep mountain road is still difficult to walk down the mountain, and it is impossible to go fast or slow.

However, this was not a pleasant journey, but he felt that there was substantial progress. Yang Gun returned to the temple and recalled the situation of the Battle of Pingxia, asking people to polish the ink and rush to describe it. He also drew pictures and roughly painted the cannons and guns used by Xu Jun.

In addition, there are also equipment and tactics used by Xu Jun such as plate armor, cherry blossoms, arches, bows, and shuttles, with pictures and texts, and carefully described them. Yang Gun hopes that Ono Haogu can have some knowledge of the military formation in addition to drinking tea and writing poems... If so, he will definitely be afraid and attach importance to Xu Jun.

Yang Gun also wrote that the imperial guards of Xu were their main force, with elite troops in all kinds of battles, skilled in weapons and battle formations, with a solid military discipline, and were not afraid of death. It was roughly similar to the recruitment system of the "Long March athletes" in the Tang Dynasty. They did not farm or operate, but only trained troops to fight.

As soon as he arrived in Ping'anjing, he realized that if the rumors were rumored, it should be that he was accustomed to the Tang Dynasty. He should be familiar with some of the military systems of the Tang army in the past, so there is such a comparison.
