Sun Tu and they had already checked into the other courtyard in the afternoon, but it was not until after entering the shift that they saw the fine seal again, and their faces were still a little unhappy, and they showed some smiles after a while: "Something happened today, so I am a little snub to the two, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Sun Tu and the others hurriedly smiled and said they didn't dare, and then looked at him again and said curiously: "The son has gone home, why is he still so preoccupied, I don't know if I can help share my worries?" ”

"Hmph, it's not my brother who is playing right and wrong in front of my father." Xi Feng Chang said hatefully: "Originally, I planned to find an official position for Brother Sun in the city first, but he objected several times, saying that you are a Han from Liao and not enough to believe it, so my father was a little suspicious, so this matter could only be temporarily shelved." ”

"I see, but this is also reasonable, but I am thinking about things too simply, I am not from Xia Kingdom after all, and it is not wrong for you to be suspicious." Sun Tu seemed quite generous, and turned around to comfort the other party: "Actually, as long as the son is willing to believe in me and use me, let me have a foothold in the Xia country, I will be satisfied." ”

"Although I have only been with you for a short time, I know that you will never be a Liao State worker. Don't worry, I will help you fight for your father, but I have to wronged you to stay here for a few days......" Xi Feng Chang said, and thought of a little: "In fact, it is not impossible to make my father completely believe in you, and I will arrange everything at that time." ”

"Thank you for your trouble." Sun Tu thanked him again, and the fine seal Chang waved his hand: "I won't talk about this today, everyone has worked hard to eat and sleep in the open in the past few days, since you are here, you should enjoy it." As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately a stream of people brought the best food and wine into the hall one by one, although it was also meat, but the color and fragrance were far stronger than those in the Wurahai, and the smell of the fragrance was already appetizing.

The fine seal Chang immediately poured wine and cut meat for Sun Tu and them, and then raised his glass to each other, saying a very polite word. Then the three of them let go of their arms and ate and drank for a while, until about the third watch, they were all full of wine and food, and each walked back to the room with some stumbling steps.

In the next two days, Xi Fengchang still warmly entertained the two, eating and drinking were of the highest quality, and allowed them to enter and leave his own courtyard, looking at them with complete trust in them, and he didn't even keep an eye on them. As for Huangfu Duan, not only did he cash in the two thousand copper coins he had said before, but also after knowing that he intended to buy green salt from Xia and sell it to Liao, he also personally came forward to help Zhang Luo with this deal, which saved the other party a lot of hands and feet, and really achieved enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

came over for five days in such a leisurely manner, and at noon on this day, Sun Tu and Huangfu went out to visit Shunjun City together. In fact, they didn't wander around the city like this in the past few days, and today is actually the same, they can be regarded as appreciating the style of the Xia Kingdom, and they are just familiar with the customs of this place.

"It is the place where the Xingqing Mansion of the Xia Kingdom is located, and it has the reputation of plugging the south of the Yangtze River, although it is not within its scope, in my opinion, it is not much worse." Sun Tu looked at the pedestrians walking by and couldn't help but sigh softly. Although their clothes still look a little simple and simple, far less rich and fancy than the people of Songdi, this feeling of abundance and food is still quite good.

"The land of the Loop? What do you mean by that? Huangfu nodded in agreement at first, but then raised another question, this was the first time he had heard of this statement.

"Huh? Don't you know what the loop says? Sun Tu also glanced at him with some surprise, isn't this people's common sense? In fact, he really took it for granted, this kind of knowledge is naturally a geographical common sense that elementary school students understand after a thousand years, but now, few people know it, after all, there is no such accurate geographical topographic map now.

Anyway, he was idle, so Sun Tu simply turned into a tavern, ordered a pot of wine and asked for two plates of snacks, and then dipped his fingers in the wine and drew a few words on the table, lit it and said: "This is the great river that flows through Tubo, Xia and the Great Song Dynasty." "At this time, the Yellow River has not yet turned yellow and turbid due to a large amount of soil erosion in the upper reaches, so it does not have the name of the Yellow River.

Huangfu Duan looked at those words with some surprise, then looked at Sun Tu, and nodded after a while: "It turns out that Dahe is like this?" This is really the first time I know about it, I didn't expect that Song Ren's horizons have been so broad, and it really makes me embarrassed. ”

Sun Tu then remembered the shortage of geographical knowledge of ordinary people at this time, but he didn't mean to explain much, just continued to point to the bent part above the words and said: "This is the territory of the Xia Kingdom, don't you think it looks like a pocket or a sleeve?" For the sake of convenience, that's why I call it the Land of the Loop. As the so-called Yellow River is harmful, it is only a set of profits, and this is what it says. And the so-called plugging on the south of the Yangtze River also refers to here. ”

Huangfu nodded clearly: "I see, if you think about it carefully, the rapid rise of the Xia Kingdom does have a lot to do with the richness of this Hetao." ”

"Yes, the party members rose because of this, but the Song people were even more embarrassed because of this. If the Song army could seize this Hetao back then, it would no longer have to have a headache for the lack of horses, at least it would be able to fight fairly with the Liao. But now...... Not only are war horses scarce, but there is also a strong enemy on the side, which is not worth thinking about. Sun Tu said, and looked at Huangfu Duan solemnly: "Brother Huangfu, you have an outstanding ability to raise horses and horses, which is nothing in the Liao Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom, but if you go to the Great Song Dynasty, it will play a big role." ”

Huangfu Duan naturally understood his solicitation, but it was difficult to respond for a while. After all, he is just a businessman, and he just wants to make money as he does his duty, and he really doesn't want to take risks.

Sun Tu didn't persuade much, just after eating a few glasses of wine with the other party, he would leave, at least now, even if the other party accepted his invitation, it was impossible to bring him back to the Great Song Dynasty, it was better to wait and talk about it later.

The two of them walked around the city again, and it was not until it was nearly dusk that they returned from the excitement. And when the two came to the front of the courtyard not far away, Sun Tu collided with a pedestrian, and before he could reprimand, the other party had already left quickly, which surprised Sun Tu a little, and then suddenly found that there was an extra note in his arms. When he took out the note from his arms, Sun Tu's eyes suddenly shrank, he was still a little too relaxed, if the person did not send the note but stabbed him, he might be injured now.

However, he didn't rush to take out the note to see it, but continued to return to the other courtyard with the emperor as if there was no such thing, and after entering the separate courtyard of the two of them, he took out the paper, and when he looked at it, he found that he didn't know any of the words written on it.

Huangfu Duan was also a little surprised at this time: "Brother Sun, this is what the person who collided with you outside just now secretly stuffed it to you?" ”

"Exactly, but I don't recognize what is written on it, can you take a look?" Sun Tu said and handed over the note. Huangfu took it and glanced at it, and his face changed: "This is the Liao script!" The meaning of the above is to let you meet in the third alley north of East Avenue tonight...... This is, does Liao Guoxizuo want to have a secret meeting with you? At the end, his voice trembled a little, because it was a bit big.

Sun Tu showed a sneer: "Brother Huangfu, do you think there will really be Liao people secretly contacting me?" ”

Huangfu Duan, who originally wanted to persuade Sun Tu not to take risks, suddenly reacted after hearing this: "Yes, Brother Sun, you are not a Liao person at all, how can there be a Liao person to contact you?" This ......"

"I'm afraid someone is trying to test my exact identity." The corners of Sun Tu's mouth curled, and he immediately gave an answer. If he is really a secret spy of the Liao Kingdom, this thing is really useful, at least it can make him suspicious for a while. But he is obviously a person from the Great Song Dynasty, so the secret book of the Liao State sent to him is very ridiculous.

"You mean...... This is what they let people do to test you? Huang Fuduan had already straightened out his thoughts and asked with some uneasiness. Seeing him nodding, he said again: "Then why don't you hurry up and hand over the things to them, so that you can win the trust of others." ”

"Handing things in will save you a lot of trouble, but I'm afraid it's not enough to get them to believe me." Sun Tu shook his head and said, "Originally, I was still worried about how to make them believe in me further and use me again." Isn't that the opportunity now? ”

"Are you going to ......?"

"Go and meet for a while in the evening this so-called Liao State is fine, and then help the Xia people solve these troubles by the way." Sun Tu smiled, and then put the note away first.

Half an hour later, Xi Fengchang looked at his open courtyard door again, but still didn't see Sun Tu and them coming, which made his face become more and more gloomy: "Isn't there really a problem with this Sun Qianli?" He came back early today to wait for Sun Tu to send him a secret letter asking him to meet, so that he could be sure that the other party was indeed fine. But now it's good, those two have been back for a while, and they haven't even seen them come over to explain, could it be that they really believe what the boss said, and plan to pass over for a while?

The cronies around the "master ......" saw his displeasure, so they said tentatively: "It's better to let me lead someone to take them down now!" Since it is a meticulous work of the Liao State, they must not be left here. Otherwise, if the people of the sixth prince knew about it, it would be very unfavorable to the master. ”

"No hurry, wait." Xifeng often has a rare steadiness of people of this age, and when he heard this, he just shook his head and said, "It's not too late to attack them after today." Sun Qianli, this person is indeed a talent, it would be a pity if it was really Liaoguo's meticulous work......" Although he said that, he couldn't hide the killing intent in his eyes.

While speaking, it was already dark, and it was already the first shift!
