At dawn, Xingqing Mansion entered the rhythm, and all kinds of peddlers and pawns were busy on the streets.

The Song State also had such a situation, the difference was that even if it was not under Wang Yan's rule, the proportion of the output value that the peddlers and pawns of the Song State could enjoy was slightly more than that of these people in the Western Xia.

Only when you really see all this, can you also appreciate the power of the gods, and Aunt Mu Guiying has deep feelings about this, she knows the difference between those busy peddlers and pawns in Funing County every morning and these people.

I looked at it again, and now Wang Yan walked a little floating, and the eldest lady felt very hurt, and the degree of his "sacrifice for the country" last night should be very intense, so she asked embarrassedly: "How many shots did you come last night?" ”

"It's okay, it's only about thirteen rounds, and I can bear it." Wang Yan said.

Mu Guiying touched his brain: "It's hard for you, but it's a pity that the last general doesn't have eggs, otherwise I can't wait to fight for you." ”

"......" Wang Yan's old face was slightly red, he was always straight, and his nature was not hypocritical enough, so Da Yan didn't really regard last night as "sacrificing his life for the country".

If you think about it carefully, last night was actually mainly like trial and error, look at the situation, by the way, it is refreshing, Da Yan really has a demon heart.

As a result, it was cool, but it was too cool, which led to a little soft feet when I see a woman now. Damn, that Lan Yu is almost a ringing horse, and he spares no effort to rob his spirit.

And throughout the whole process, she kept humming and chirping "I like you a little bit" and other half-truths, even if Da Yan can't capture what her true state of mind is.

Mu Guiying said in a low voice: "That demon girl said that she wanted to provide a message, what is it?" ”

Wang Yan walked briskly and said in a low voice: "She said that Xiao Yanshan entered Xingqing Mansion, and she didn't mention anything else." I couldn't probe her mentality, but I really had a bad feeling, and I subconsciously felt that something might be brewing. ”

Mu Guiying didn't express an opinion, but her color changed slightly.

"Auntie knows this person?" Wang Yan couldn't help but look at her curiously.

Mu Guiying stopped, nodded and said: "It's not a formal acquaintance, but I've heard a lot of things about him, this person is known as the number one master of Liao, and he is the head of the most elite Shanjun in Liao, and the right hand of Yelu Hongji's henchman." ”

"There really is such a person...... Wang Yan frowned, and after confirming this from the eldest mother, it seemed to be more clear.

Speaking of which, the military system of the Liao State is somewhat different from that of the Western Xia Dynasty. In Dayan, the Liao State in this period is really not corrupt, it belongs to the leather army of the Yelu family, and belongs to the Shan army of the Xiao family, and this part of the cavalry establishment of about 600,000 is the real elite of the lineage.

The Liao State is known as two million iron cavalry, but although the other troops from various ethnic groups are also cavalry, they are more mercenary concepts under the lord system, and they are not elite. The real sharp knives are the leather room army and the Shan army of this period.

The next emperor of Liao, Yelu Hongji, who determines the world pattern, is not the emperor yet, and he is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the Liao country, but in fact, the only thing he can really control is the Shan army. As for the leather room army of his own family, Yelu's family, it seems to be under his jurisdiction, but in fact it may not be.

It stands to reason that the current Emperor of Liao should have died last year and two years, and Yelu Hongji should have ascended the throne at the end of last year. However, such a significant historical event has shifted and did not happen last year.

Of course, there is a lot of news about the Imperial City Division of the Song Kingdom, and the current Emperor of the Liao State has been seriously ill for a long time, and like Zhao Zhen of the Great Song Dynasty, he basically does not ask about affairs. The current Liao State, on the surface, Yelu Hongji has the final say, but the internal disputes are also very complicated, his imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan has the support of most of the leather room army, and they have already begun various open and secret battles with each other to decide the ownership of the hegemony in the next step.

Yes, it is very helpless, in this era, although the Liao State has begun to corrupt, it is still a symbol of hegemony.

Is the problem between Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Hongji, probably the kind of incident described in "Tianlong Babu" about the emperor's uncle's rebellion, Uncle Qiao Feng rescued Yelu Hongji and rose to the king of the Southern Courtyard. Just looks like it's brewing in advance?

"Lao Xiao, this guy, is not guarding his master Yelu Hongji in Shangjing at this time, what are you secretly doing in this Xingqing Mansion?" As he walked, Wang Yan muttered to himself.

"I don't think it's a good thing, if I need to, I'll meet him privately, the so-called No. 1 master of Liao?" Mu Guiying said coldly.

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Don't mess around, he may not be coming at me." There is still too little news for decision-making, so let's wait and see what happens. ”

……

It was too late to rest when he returned to the post house, so Zhanzhao handed over a note and said that Duan Fang of Yanyu Building would let him go over.

Wang Yan hesitated for a while, changed his clothes, and took Mu Guiying to Yanyu Building.

When you go in, your feet are soft, because there are warblers singing and dancing everywhere, speaking of which, although it was not seconds last night, it was basically given by the demon girl to the sun, I don't know the southeast and northwest, this is true.

When entering a specific room in Xiaolou, Duan Fatzi was digging his hand into the clothes of a big-breasted woman, making people scream.

Seeing Wang Yan and Mu Guiying coming in, Duan Yi slapped the beautiful woman's buttocks and said, "Go out, let the old dog be on guard around." ”

So, the room fell silent.

Duan Fang said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Lord Xiao Wang, it seems interesting now, there will be news in the end that Xiao Yanshan has secretly entered Xingqing Mansion. Speaking of this, Xiao Yanshan ......"

Wang Yan interrupted: "I know who he is, I don't need to explain, tell me what he is doing when he comes to Xingqing Mansion?" ”

Duan Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At this point, of course, no one knows. ”

Wang Yan thought for a while and said, "Then what do you think?" 'What do you think' he's here for?' ”

Duan Yi's words were astonishing: "If the end will speculate: I am afraid that the Emperor of Liao, Yeluzong, really has little time, and the war clouds are already thick within Liao, and the relationship is tense. Since the beginning of Li Yuanhao's period, there have been many heart diseases in the Liao State and Western Xia. With the eloquent Yelu Hongji's thoughts, it is impossible for him to come to Xixia to borrow troops or borrow a divine arm bow, so the last general thinks that there is a high probability that Xiao Yanshan's goal is not to slander Pang. What do adults think? ”

Wang Yan was slightly stunned: "You mean, Yelu Hongji wants to steal the blueprints of the flintlock pistol?" But his object is not to slander Pang, not my Song Funing County? ”

"Exactly." Duan Fang nodded.

"It's true that this possibility is not ruled out, but what about your reasons?" Wang Yan asked curiously.

"My lord, listen to me."

Duan Fang's reckless appearance entered the posture of popular science: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of the suspicion of adults, at that time, the last general served in the Liao State, and Ji Tianqing, who had a bitter hatred with you, was also an old friend." We have cooperated many times, and the last general was almost killed by Xiao Yanshan several times, but Ji Tianqing carried him. ”

Mu Guiying intervened: "There is no need for what he said about this, if there is no Ji Tianqing, with the ability of this fat man, he will be hung up and beaten by Xiao Yanshan, even Zhang Congxun can't carry Xiao Yanshan." ”

Wang Yan asked Mu Guiying curiously: "What about you who are full now?" ”

Mu Guiying said: "It's only five or five." ”

Duan Fang thought disappreccantly in his heart, this mother-in-law is arrogant, if you have personally seen Lao Xiao's overwhelming momentum, I am afraid that there will be no evaluation of five or five.

"Okay, it's just an episode, Lao Duan continued." Wang Yan said.

Duan Fang said: "Speaking of Xiao Yanshan, there is a characteristic of this person, he is always buffering, instilling Yelu Hongji to avoid Song Liao confrontation. As far as the news I Lao Duan has obtained, it is not that I am speaking for the enemy, and there have been many times when Yelu Hongji, the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, planned to deploy some tricks against Song, but Xiao Yanshan persuaded him to give up. ”

Wang Yan said with interest: "Is this Xiao Yanshan's belief?" ”

"Sort of, that person is very strong but has clear grievances, martial arts theory, only people like him can reach the peak." Duan Fang said.

Wang Yan said: "So what you mean is that Xiao Yanshan doesn't want to mess with the Song State in his bones, and he doesn't want to destroy the political legacy of his aunt and grandmother Empress Dowager Xiao, so when Yelu Hongji needed the flintlock pistol, a war artifact, Lao Xiao chose 'black eats black' and didn't start with Western Xia." Anyway, the drawings were stolen from me? ”

Duan Fang hugged his fists and said: "My lord is wise, this is what the last general is about to express." This should be the reason why Lao Xiao came to Xixia, or one of the reasons. Of course, these are just my personal judgments, specific facts, or unfinished. ”

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about you, Duan Fang, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

Duan Fang couldn't help licking his lips, nodded heavily, and said, "It's a good thing, my Song Kingdom opportunity has come." ”

"So what are you going to do?" Wang Yan asked with a strange expression.

Duan Fang's heart suddenly tightened, and he felt that Wang Yan's attitude seemed to have become a little strange, so he didn't say anything about it, but shook his hand with a smile and said, "No, no, the last general doesn't plan to do anything, it's all up to the adults." ”

"Really?" Wang Yan smiled.

"Really." Duan Fatman's serious appearance.

Wang Yan couldn't help but be deflated, according to this situation, Duan Fang was definitely tired. But he chose to hide Wang Yan as a diplomatic ambassador?

It was precisely because Duan Fang had reservations about this and avoided talking about key issues, so for Wang Yan, it was basically certain that the strange demon girl who did not have Lan Yu provided "true news".

If Duan Fang nodded his head and answered, the process would be too smooth, and on the contrary, it would make Wang Yan suspect that all of them had joined forces and made a trick.

At present, these judgments are basically enough, and I don't expect to learn more information from the mouth of a person like Lao Duan, this kind of person, once he suddenly has a defensive mind, no one can pry his mouth open.

So Wang Yan didn't blame, got up and said: "I'm very tired today, I'm injured by someone, I want to go back to rest, if there is follow-up information, Lao Duan remember to inform me." ”

Duan Fang's expression of envy and hatred, licking his lips, couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the adults slept with the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, is this news true?" ”

Wang Yan smiled but did not answer, and left the private room......
