Chapter 352 I Want to Take You Down
The border town is more than eighty miles away from Lingdouzi Castle. It turns out that Tatar cavalry often roamed between the two cities.
But now, there is only a wide and flat official road and endless farmland.
The official road between the two cities is lined with neatly arranged ditches and ridges on both sides.
Spring comes late in the west of the town. There are no crops in the fields yet, but farmers can be seen occasionally working in the fields.
The official road was smooth, and the carriage could hardly feel any bumps when driving on it.
Led by the Qingshui Army, a delegation of more than 300 people arrived in front of Lingdouzi Castle in less than an hour.
It is rare to see two such majestic cities so close to each other on large lands.
Someone was already waiting at the city gate to welcome the delegation.
The interior of Lingdouzi Castle is more tidy than the border town.
The streets are wide and the buildings on the streets look almost the same, with white walls, gray tiles, black paint and red doors.
It makes people feel refreshed.
The Western Xia delegation had never seen such a neat and clean city.
This city is more advanced than the border town.
A group of people walked and looked, discussing with each other in amazement.
Just like a group of farmers coming to the city for the first time.
More than 300 people were led to the post station area.
Bai Jing, the steward of Lingdouzi Castle, was dressed in civil servant's clothes and stood at the door of the guest hall of the inn, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
A guard had already come forward to negotiate with the delegation's guards, and then led Zhang Enyi and other officials to the guest hall.
Zhang Enyi looked at Bai Jing in surprise.
Her face is as white as jade, her lips are red, her teeth are white, and her smile is as beautiful as a flower.
Zhang Enyi came closer and bowed quickly.
"Uh...I wonder if this gentleman..."
He didn't dare to say more. Bai Jing was dressed in official uniform, so he could be identified as a high-ranking official. But she was obviously a woman, so he didn't know how to start.
Guard Bai Jing beside him quickly said, "This is my chief steward, Master Bai Jingbai."
Bai Jing also hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Zhang, thank you for your hard work on the journey."
"Oh, haha, fine, Manager Bai, you're welcome."
After some greetings, the two of them politely entered the living room and took their seats as host and guest.
Bai Jing, the general manager, has always been behind the scenes.
This time, when receiving a foreign delegation, Lin Feng was pushed onto the official stage for the first time and appeared in front of everyone independently in an official capacity.
Xixia Yinzhou and Dazong Zhenxi discussed the issue of alliance.
As the person in charge of a region, Lin Feng's status is equal to that of Li Jiping, the commander-in-chief of Yinzhou in Western Xia.
Therefore, he sent his own general manager to contact the delegation.
When both parties had almost finished the negotiations, Lin Feng came forward and made the final decision.
This is also normal procedure, and Zhang Enyi does not think that Lin Feng is arrogant.
For this bilateral meeting, Lin Feng also arranged for Wen Cheng and Lin Tong to participate.
One is responsible for reviewing official procedures, and the other is responsible for conducting selective inspections of bilateral trade projects.
Bai Jing only had superficial contact with the delegation on the first day, and then the substantive talks were left to Wen Cheng and Lin Tong.
In the evening, Bai Jing arranged a sumptuous dinner to entertain the Yinzhou delegation.
This time the accompanying officials were Wen Cheng and Lin Tong.
Lin Feng simply said that he would go over to toast during the dinner to show Zhenxi's sincerity towards the bilateral talks.
No one else was in a hurry. Since they had come to Zhenxi, they just followed other people's arrangements.
Only Li Xinyan felt like she was being scratched by a cat.
She didn't know when she would see Lin Feng again. No matter how many waves of people came, there was no sign of Lin Feng.
What talks, what trade, it has nothing to do with her.
She came here just to chase her idol, and being able to meet Lin Feng would bring this adventure to a perfect end.
Li Xinyan volunteered to stand guard at the gate of the inn. She wanted to be the first to see Lin Feng.
But he stood there until 12 o'clock, but still didn't see Lin Feng coming.
Her legs felt weak from standing so hard.
Two big red lanterns were hung at the gate of the inn, illuminating the surrounding area.
Moreover, on the streets of the castle, there were flashing street lights every twenty or thirty steps.
Even at night, it is not dark.
From time to time, patrolling soldiers would appear on the street, marching in neat steps past the door.
In the night, the entire castle appears quiet and peaceful, and the bright bluestone pavement reflects a bluish-gray light.
Li Xinyan likes this kind of environment very much. Although her legs are very tired, she is willing to stand like this, looking at the streets, the lights, and the pedestrians.
There is no curfew in the castle, and pedestrians can be seen passing by in a hurry or strolling from time to time.
Whenever she passed by the gate of the inn, Li Xinyan would stare at people's faces.
Every face was calm and peaceful, composed and composed.
Out of boredom, she judged every passerby by their clothes and facial expressions to see who they were and what they were going to do.
Standing guard across the door from her was Zhang Hu.
She had been reminded twice to go inside and hide, but the stubborn Li Xinyan ignored Zhang Hu's words.
Two more people came over. Li Xinyan stared at them as they walked closer under the dim light.
A young man, wearing a green long robe, walked with steady steps.
When she came under the lantern, Li Xinyan could see clearly.
The young man had a warm smile, delicate cheeks, and dark, bright eyes.
The exposed teeth shone with a bright white light, which was very eye-catching.
His eyes were also attracted by Li Xinyan. They looked at each other. Both of them were very stubborn and neither of them moved away first.
Li Xinyan was attracted by the young man's aura, while the other party was very curious about this porcelain doll-like sentry.
The young man was very tall. Li Xinyan raised her head slightly and looked directly at him.
Zhang Hu was about to scold, but Li Xinyan raised her hand to stop him.
"Hello, you can't stay here."
She spoke gently to the young man.
"Oh, it's really a woman. How come she's being used as a guard?"
The young man's tone was also gentle, but with a hint of doubt.
Zhang Hu knew that this person was of extraordinary status because he was followed by four sturdy guards with swords.
He quickly signaled to Li Xinyan with his eyes.
"Sir, this is the Xixia Yinzhou embassy's residence. Please leave as soon as possible."
This was Zhang Hu's gentlest tone.
If he were in Yinzhou, he would have scolded him long ago.
Unexpectedly, the young man did not leave, but looked at Li Xinyan with interest.
This person was Lin Feng. After finishing his work at the headquarters, he suddenly remembered that he should come to the post station to offer a glass of wine to the Yinzhou delegation.
He hurriedly brought Cheng Liang, Wen Jian and several other guards to the inn.
Unexpectedly, he met Li Xinyan who was standing guard at the door.
She has cheeks like a porcelain doll, two dimples when she smiles, and a childish look. She must be young.
A girl like this must be of extraordinary status. How could she be sent out by the diplomatic mission to stand guard?
Lin Feng still had a smile on his face.
"Tell me, what's your name and why are you standing guard outside the door?"
Li Xinyan glared at him and said, "Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you look pretty. I'm a guard of the diplomatic mission. What's wrong with standing guard? Leave now."
Such childish words made the guards following Lin Feng laugh.
Cheng Liang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Hu who was about to approach.
"Don't move, we mean no harm."
Zhang Hu glanced at the guards, all of whom were tall and strong men with broad backs, staring at him with murderous eyes.
He then swallowed the words he was about to scold and turned to look at Li Xinyan.
What I mean is, don't just stand there, go and call for help.
Li Xinyan grabbed the hilt of the knife at her waist, widened her big dark eyes, and tilted her chin towards Lin Feng.
"I'm warning you, if you don't leave, I'm going to take you down."
Wen Jian and the others couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing.
