In the Great Song Dynasty of this dynasty, Taizu set the capital in Bianliang when he founded the country, and the people of the time also called it "Tokyo".

This Tokyo Bianliang has three layers inside and outside, from the outside to the inside are the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city, the so-called city buried three roads, heavy sanitation, supporting the majestic imperial capital.

The new Cao Gate is located in the east of the outer city of Bianliang, which is the east gate of Bianliang, and the people who come and go in Jiangsu and Zhejiang enter and exit through this gate.

A hundred meters outside Xincao Gate, by the edge of the woods, an empty carriage was parked, and a white-skinned young man sat on the frame. The car has been parked here since the end of the day, and it seems to be waiting for someone. At this time, it was nearly noon, and the person he was waiting for had not yet appeared, and this person was not in a hurry, but still sat quietly.

After passing the chin bell again, a carriage turned down from the official road, "Shhh There was a long hiss, and the carriage stopped in front of him.

The white-skinned young man was in good spirits, immediately jumped out of the car, walked to the handlebar, and asked in a deep voice, "The master is inside?" ”

Nodding his head on the handlebar, the young man walked to the car again, "Master, our car is on the side, do you want to go back to the house first or go to Mrs. Yu first?" ”

The curtain of the car was opened, and an ordinary-looking young man got out of the car, he shook the folds on his clothes, and walked towards the carriage parked in front of him, "Let's go see Mrs. Yu first, is she still used to living?" ”

This ordinary-looking young man was Zhao Xian who rushed back to Bianliang from Yangzhou, and the white-skinned young man who was waiting for her in front of her was Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan nodded, drove the carriage into Xincaomen, drove through Niuhang Street, and entered Caomen, the carriage couldn't help but slow down, and slowly drove towards the north.

This day coincides with the seventh day of the twelfth month, the day before Laba, and the atmosphere of the New Year festival is getting stronger and stronger. As the New Year is approaching, people entering and leaving Bianliang City are more frequent than usual, presenting a busy scene.

At this time, the area around Chenqiaomen in the north of the outer city was very lively, because the envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty arrived in Bianliang today. And the envoy of the Great Liao Pavilion sent by this dynasty brought a group of entourages to wait for reception at Chenqiaomen early this morning.

The first emperor had made a contract with the Great Liao, and the monarchs of the two countries called each other "brothers", so the Great Liao was also regarded as a country of brothers, and when welcoming the brothers, they should do their best to make them happy and return happy.

When it came to the first day, and it coincided with the 60th birthday of the current empress dowager, Da Liao sent a mighty pilgrimage team to Bianliang.

This time, there were more than 50 people in the envoy who came to Beijing to congratulate the envoys, plus the Da Liao caravan that followed the trade in Bianjing, the total number of people was close to 200. This group of people pulled horses, carried luggage, and entered the Chen Bridge Gate with great momentum.

This large group of people immediately attracted the idlers of the outer city and the people who loved to watch the excitement to follow, and a group of people who were mixed with Lala entered the Fengqiu Gate of the inner city again, and walked towards the Duting Post Road located in the Great Liao People's Envoy Road.

"Big brother, look at this Bianliang, it is really prosperous, I don't know how many times more lively than when we go to Beijing!" In the procession of the Great Liao envoys, two tall horses were side-by-side, and one of the men spoke to the other in Khitan, looking around excitedly from time to time.

"Third brother, Bianliang has a large population, an excellent geographical location, a suitable climate, and is much richer than me in Beijing, you must not make such a fuss, but let the Great Song people laugh at us." The person who was called the eldest brother instructed the third brother with a steady face.

The two men talked in a low voice in the procession, and they were sandwiched between a large number of envoys, so that they did not see how conspicuous they were.

"You see, there are more envoys from Da Liao this time than in previous years, and this year is really lively." An idle man was talking with his accomplices as he walked.

"That's not it, our Great Song Dynasty, foreign countries admire, this little Liao country is not in a hurry to come to our Bianliang", the other said triumphantly. "So that they can see the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty."

With more and more people watching the excitement, it seems that they are about to go to the Daliao Embassy.

"Master, it seems that there is a team of Liao envoys in front, and they are coming here." It happened that Zhao Yan had just driven into the Great Liao People's Envoy Road in a carriage, but found that a large group of people were coming not far away.

"Park the carriage on the side, and when they enter the Duting Station, let's go again." Zhao Xian didn't seem to expect to meet the team of envoys of the Great Liao Dynasty at this time, and was slightly stunned before instructing.

"I'm afraid it will take half an hour for these many people to disperse, right? Master, why don't we turn around and go another way? Zhao Yan proposed.

"No need, you see that there is a group of people behind us who are watching the excitement, I'm afraid it's not easy to turn around, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, just wait." Zhao Xian opened the curtain on the small window behind her and looked at it.

Zhao Yan answered, then drove the carriage to the side of the road and stopped, and let many people behind the carriage walk forward with the excitement.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd behind them, and then they scattered in both directions. At this time, I heard a shout, "Let one go, let one go, the donkey is frightened, the people in front are careful." ”

The donkey ran as fast as it could, followed by a man far behind, shouting as he chased it. No one went up to help hold the frightened donkey.

The donkey ran to the front of the Great Liao envoy team in the blink of an eye, and this time he was about to bump into the Liao envoy in front, and the accompanying envoy on the side instantly sweated, and he hurriedly shouted to the entourage around him, "Why don't you hurry up and grab the donkey, and be careful to bump into the Liao envoy." ”

The attendant answered, but before he could reach the donkey, a man rushed out of the Liao envoy's ranks, only to see him shout, and with only one hand firmly encircled the frightened donkey, and the donkey kicked left and right, raised his head and waged his tail, but could not break free from the man's arm.

The entourage hurriedly looked up, only to see that the person who restrained the donkey was a guard in the Liao envoy team, burly, with large arm muscles bulging high between the tangled arms, and he looked powerful.

The people who were panting and followed the donkey behind him saw that the donkey was restrained, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to thank him, "Thank you for this military master, my donkey was disobedient and almost collided with the military master." ”

The guard who restrained the donkey looked at the man chasing the donkey, and then at the people around him, and then snorted disdainfully, and said in stiff Chinese, "You donkey is so disobedient, what is the use of coming?" ”

As he spoke, he took out the saber at his waist, and when he raised the knife in his hand, he split the donkey's head in two, and in an instant blood splashed everywhere, which frightened the people around him to exclaim, and immediately hid far away.

The person chasing the donkey was stunned by this scene, and then reacted, his master's donkey was beheaded by the person in front of him, how should he reply to the master, and what to compensate?

He hurriedly stepped forward to grab the tall Liao envoy guard, "Master Jun, you killed my master's donkey, how can this be good?" ”

The people around him also pointed and shouted, asking this person to pay for other people's donkeys.

The guard, who was grabbed, shook his arm and threw the man to the ground, "You Song people, you are so talkative, like a girl, it's very annoying." ”

The man chasing the donkey, who was thin and weak, could not resist the man's throw, and was immediately thrown out, and shouted "ouch," and lay on the ground for a long time unable to move, only humming and chirping there.

A burst of shouting and scolding suddenly erupted in the crowd, "You wait for a barbarian, you actually kill a donkey and hurt someone, should you still be at your own doorstep?" ”

In a fit of rage, a few people wanted to rush up and pull the guard, but the guard was so powerful that after only a few flicks of his arm, they all fell to the ground and groaned.

The guard looked at the ground with disdain on his face, "You Song people are really vulnerable, all of them are weak, no wonder they will give us Da Liao a tribute of 'New Year'."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers exploded, all scolding angrily in the back, but no one dared to step forward.

"Denton, don't make trouble." Another man from the Liao ranks walked out, and he shouted at the guard, who had no choice but to return to the ranks.

The Sven man took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it in front of the donkey chaser, "These are enough to compensate your donkey, right?" The extra money will be used for medical expenses. ”

The embassy companion on the side was full of embarrassment, and hurriedly asked his entourage to escort these people back.

"Wait for the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and you want to do something hastily when you make a little money? Now that it hurts someone, it should give us an explanation. Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and the people on the side of the good deeds echoed it.

"Oh? What do you want to say? The Liao envoy stopped in his steps and turned to look at the place where the crowd was talking, "Who is calling for an explanation?" Do you only dare to be a turtle with a shrunken head in the crowd? Is this true for all Song people? ”

"It's Lao Tzu who asks for an explanation, who said that Lao Tzu didn't dare to stand up?" The person who shouted loudly just now was provoked by this person's words, and immediately straightened his chest and stood up from the crowd with a swagger, but it was an idler from nowhere.

"What do you want to say?" The Liao envoy looked at the man playfully, "Are you going to try it out with my guard?" Or do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me? ”

The idler's face flushed when he was told by this Liao envoy, and he no longer dared to speak, and looked at the powerful guard just now, and the courage that this idler had come out of before immediately dissipated.

"You Song people, you will only make noise in the town. This woman and child rule the country, and the people are really more girly. In the Liao envoy team, I don't know who said it jokingly, and the Liao people who came with it all laughed.

Hearing this, the onlookers were indignant, but no one could come forward to refute it.

"Guests came from afar and were warmly greeted by the hosts. However, when the guests come to the door of the host's house and ridicule the host's family in front of the host, is this the way of hospitality in Liao? A voice rang out from behind the crowd. The sound was neither high-pitched nor loud, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly.
