After leaving the banquet hall, only his own clansmen and his party, Xi Feng Chang couldn't help but look at the monks around him with strange eyes: "National teacher, why didn't you say a word at today's banquet?" You've helped save Sun Qianli a few times, and if you come forward to say something, maybe he'll back down......"

Jiesang wax Ling's footsteps paused slightly, and then said: "The little monk asked himself if he didn't have such a big face, just looking at the current Taiwei Sun, he is no longer the same person he was in Xingqing Mansion. Occupying a high position and holding a lot of power, how could he make concessions on the major affairs of the two countries for the sake of some small favors at the beginning? So even if the little monk opened his mouth, it would be in vain. What's more......" said another meal.

"What else did the national teacher see?"

"That Taiwei Sun still has a strong killing intent on his body, this is a terrifying aura that the little monk has never felt in anyone, as if he is going to open a big killing ring soon, and countless people will die because of it." When he said this, the voice of the Western Xia National Master trembled a little.

But Xifeng often disagreed with the chatter of such gods, and still only cared about the current predicament: "But the three requirements he put forward are more difficult to do than the other, but how can we report to the court?" I'm afraid that it is impossible for the emperor to agree to these three unreasonable demands...... But how is this good? ”

It wasn't until he returned to the embassy not far away that Li Chengmo, a Western Xia official who had been following them without speaking, whispered: "Lü Ze don't worry too much, the matter has not reached an irreparable situation, after all, today's request was not made by his Song court, but was just said casually by an official at the banquet." ”

"Does that make any difference?" Xi Feng Chang scratched his head in annoyance, although now he has become Lu Ze, who has a certain status in the Western Xia Kingdom, that is, the leader of a clan, in charge of tens of thousands of clansmen, but after all, he is not experienced enough.

However, Li Chengmo, the deputy envoy in front of him who has been serving in the DPRK and has studied the Song State a lot, was more calm, and said: "Although Sun Tu is now the person in power in the Song Kingdom, this does not mean that everything is up to him, especially such a major event between the two countries, let alone a military general who can decide it casually, the involvement is too great."

"I can actually understand why he is so aggressive and leaves us little room because he wants to bring about a big war between the two countries. He is a military general, and only the battlefield and constant war can make his power continue to expand, even if it will cause countless deaths and injuries. This is also the reason why the national teacher just saw the murderous aura revealed in his body. ”

As soon as this remark came out, even the wax man also agreed, and nodded slightly. And the fine seal Chang looked more and more nervous: "According to what you say, wouldn't it be more difficult for us to get things done?" He has already made up his mind to go to war with my Xia Kingdom. ”

"But after all, this Song court is not up to him alone, there are many officials, and there are even their emperors above, and I believe that these people definitely don't want to fight again, and let Sun Tu make greater contributions and seize greater power." Li Chengmo said with a smile: "These people are the help we can fight for to change the current situation." ”

After thinking about it carefully, he finally moved: "So, I found the wrong person in the first place?" But how do we get in touch with those Song officials? ”

"I'll do that. However, I need Lu Ze to hand over the jewels, gold and silver given by the imperial court to me. What Li Chengmo could think of was to use money to open the way and bribe a lot of Song officials.

Of course, it was impossible for Xi Fengchang to object to this matter, so he nodded immediately: "As long as this matter can be completed, all the gold, silver and jewelry that came with us can be used by you." I just want a good result! ”

"Of course, Lu Ze, you just wait for good news." Li Chengmo immediately promised.

In the days that followed, the Western Xia deputy envoy was busy all over the city, always finding various reasons to visit some of the city's most prominent and high-ranking officials.

He visited in the name of the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, so that those officials could not even find out the reason for turning him away, so they could only come forward to see him. Then, under his earnest remarks, and especially after giving him an extremely generous gift, the officials who had not been too well-off in recent times were really moved one by one, and they agreed to the request that they would help them talk to the DPRK and China, and try their best to mediate so that the two countries would be friendly and open the border market as soon as possible.

At the beginning, the officials that Li Chengmo came into contact with were only the middle and low-level officials in the court, such as Lang Zhong and other junior officials of about five grades. But with his continuous efforts, coupled with the gold and silver opening the way, by the beginning of September, he would even be able to meet the high-ranking officials of the six Shangshu. If it weren't for the fact that Tong Mu and Li Gang's identities were too high, and they each had their own concerns and refused to see foreign envoys, I was afraid that he would be able to influence the most important two people in the center of the court in a short period of time.

When Tong Mu told Sun Tu about this situation, the latter was also slightly surprised, and then shook his head with a smile: "I really can't see that these Western Xia people have also learned the set of vertical and horizontal techniques that only our Han people have." However, this kind of means of relying on bribery has finally fallen behind, and most of the people he is looking for are only junior and medium-sized officials in the court, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve his wishes. ”

Tong Mu saw that he didn't care too much, but showed a solemn expression: "Don't underestimate the actions of the Xixia people, it is indeed impossible for things between the two countries to change because of his actions, but the situation in Beijing and China is not easy to say."

"Haven't you always been on the lookout for some people's bad intentions? If they collude with the Tanguts, and then use this as a cover and make some preparations, I am afraid that they will kill us by surprise. ”

"Huh?" This sentence really hit Sun Tu's concern, making his face immediately become solemn: "This really has to be guarded against." It's been a long time, and I guess those people are about to lose their breath and make a desperate move, right? If it is as you say, I am afraid that they may really use the matter of the Western Xia envoy to attack me. ”

"So how are you going to deal with it?"

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and this Tokyo city can't be presumptuous! What's more, I have already made corresponding arrangements, they can live if they don't move, if they really move, it will be a dead end, and no one will be an exception! Sun Tu's eyes flashed with killing intent, this time, it was impossible for him to show mercy to his subordinates, and he would have trouble in the future!

Prime Minister Li Gang, who also did not see the envoys of Western Xia, but also paid attention to their every move, was also talking to a confidant at this moment: "This should be our best, and maybe our last chance." The old man had already heard that with the sudden suppression of the official army in Jiangnan, none of those scholars dared to make another incident, and they couldn't count on it elsewhere. In this way, those soldiers and horses who were transferred out of the capital before will soon come back, and when the time comes, our chances will only be smaller. ”

"So Li Xiang plans to take advantage of the arrival of the envoy of the Xia Kingdom to kill Sun Tu by surprise?"

"Exactly, today is the ninth and fifteenth days of the first lunar month, and the ministers meet the Son of Heaven, just so that the envoys of the Xia Kingdom will meet the Son of Heaven on that day. At that time, the garrison of the capital will inevitably be more placed near the imperial palace and the area around the Western Xia embassy, and our men will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to seize those important places, such as the armory, firearms, barracks, and so on......"

After a pause, Li Gang said murderously: "Also, you want to let that fine seal often persuade Sun Tu, and he will accompany the Western Xia envoy into the palace, so that you will have the opportunity to assassinate Sun Tu in the imperial city." As soon as he dies, his soldiers and horses will inevitably be leaderless and become a plate of scattered sand, and then it will be easier and easier for our men to clean up the mess. After all, Song Jiang is also one of their coaches, and his appearance is enough to deter the group. ”

What Li Xiang said was very true, and the lower officials only had two worries. First, what if this matter affects the envoys of Western Xia, or if they feel that there is a change in our Great Song Dynasty and feel that they have a chance to counterattack? Second, if Song Jiang replaces him, what if he is replaced by Song Jiang? ”

"If the envoy of the Western Xia is dead, at most the court will come forward to appease them, and as for them, we don't have to worry about it, the current Western Xia is different from ten years ago, they don't have the ability, and they don't have the courage to start a war with my Great Song Dynasty again, at most they just agree to their requests. Compared with the stability of my Great Song Dynasty, these are all small things. As for the Song Jiang you are worried about, it will be even more worrying because of this. He is only a small official, and he is thousands of miles away from Sun Tu, even if he is given the official position of a captain? Once this is done, it can be eradicated within a few years. What's more, the old man still has the biggest trick, and he may be able to solve him all at that time! ”

The person in front of him was slightly stunned, as Li Gang's cronies, he didn't know that he actually had a back hand, and this was the first time he had heard of such a thing. But soon, he settled down again: "Xia Guan understands, we will succeed this time and kill the national thief!" ”

Next, with Sun Tu's deliberate connivance, and under the deliberate promotion of Li Gang and others, the affairs of the Western Xia envoys really became extremely smooth, and they soon made a decision that they would meet with the Son of Heaven on the fifteenth of this month to discuss the affairs of the two countries. Then, when Xi Feng Chang asked Sun Tu to accompany him into the palace as a friend, Sun Tu did not have any excuses, and agreed on the spot.

Everything has been slowly developing in the way and direction that Li Gang and the others envisioned, and seeing that the time has come to the 14th, tomorrow will make everything clear.

In the evening, on the eve of the storm, the city of Tokyo today is extraordinarily quiet, with a population of millions, and only a handful of people know what will happen tomorrow......

&&&&&

Asking for a ticket on Monday, I can't think of anything to say this time。。。。。
