In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of February, and the imperial court was preparing for the upcoming war in the west in an orderly manner, and Yang Huairen was also prepared, and on the sixteenth, he led an envoy to Liao.

In the diplomatic relations of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State was the most important one, so Yang Huairen's mission was also unprecedentedly large, just accompanying the transport of the annual coins handed over to the Liao State There were more than 30 officials, and the rest of the coachmen, servants, etc. were as many as more than 300 people, and more than 100 carriages loaded with silver coins and silk silks.

Because of the special task, Yang Huairen also led the forbidden army of Long Wuwei and Hu Benwei to accompany him, in addition to the more than 1,000 soldiers who stayed in the camp, the accompanying soldiers reached 15,000 people.

Of course, so many forbidden troops accompanied them, but they could not cross the border, and they just pretended to be a normal exchange of the forbidden army and the border army.

Moreover, so many soldiers followed Yang Huairen to the north, and no matter what, they couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the Khitans in the Great Song Dynasty, so Yang Huairen felt that there was no need to hide it, and it was not to go to war anyway, whatever they thought.

The sergeants who can really follow Yang Huairen into the territory of Liao, according to the gift of diplomatic relations between the two countries, there is only a limit of 200 people, Yang Huairen chose his own guard, led by Brother Heiniu, and many brothers also went out to accompany the envoy.

Zhao Xu ordered the prime minister of the dynasty to see him off outside the east gate, and Yang Huairen originally felt that this time he was ordered to envoy to Liao, which sounded terrible, but in fact, there should be no big danger.

Over the years, there have been many princes and nobles who have sent envoys to the Liao State, and no one has ever had an accident, and he is a small prince, I am afraid that the old Khitan emperor will not really take him seriously.

It's just that Zhang Dian knows the purpose of Yang Huairen's trip, the envoy is superficial, and the secret mission is the key.

It was also because this secret mission was too critical and too difficult to complete, so when he saw him off, there was a sadness in his expression and tone.

"Yang Jungong has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, you must take care of your body on this trip, and you must return safely!"

This year, there was no handshake ceremony, but Zhang Daxianggong held Yang Huairen's hands and shook them for a long time, and his wrists were about to be broken by Yang Huairen, and there was always a little goodbye in his solemn expression.

Yang Huairen said with a smile, "It must be, please rest assured that the officials and adults", but he scolded secretly in his heart, Zhang Dun, you old guy, really when the young master sent an envoy to Liao, it was a meat bun and a dog and never returned?

The master just wants to come back, not only to come back completely, maybe bring back a few Khitan beauties for you, so that you can see the master's skills!

It's just that Zhang Xianggong was still full of respect for this meat bun that was about to be fed to the dog when he toasted it, so that the meat bun also drank several cups in one go.

The stomach was churning with wine, the meat bun and wine glass slammed to the ground, and when he held his head high and opened his mouth to recite poetry, he realized that his chest was full of all kinds of delicacies, and he didn't find a single sentence of impassioned poetry.

Zhang Dian is an old oilman with eyesight, and when he saw that Yang Huairen was speechless for a while, he sang on his behalf, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone......."

This one...... Yang Huairen was not happy when he heard it, this sentence was generous and more than passionate, but it was not so comfortable to listen to in the ears, and Lao Tzu didn't want to learn from Jing Da Zhuang to go to Liao to assassinate the Khitan Emperor, why should he never return?

In the end, I could only complain that the old boy Zhang Daxianggong was out of tune and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

But in terms of the mood of farewell, Zhang's mood still affected other people who came to see them off.

Mother Yang came to say goodbye to her son, which was originally to tell her son a few auspicious words such as "everything is safe", but suddenly she also shed tears, hugged her son without saying a word, and slapped him on the back a few times.

Yang Huairen was afraid that his mother would be too worried about being infected, so he joked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" It's time to go, and you just remembered to tattoo a few words on your son's back, what's wrong?

If you want to stab, don't stab 'Jing Zhong to serve the country', 'anti-Qing and restore Ming' or something, people will definitely not let me come back alive when they see such a style, it is better to stab 'the king spares his life', maybe people are soft-hearted, so they let go of their son, haha! ”

Yang's mother was originally in a state of confusion, worried about her son's own safety, but when she heard Yang Huairen make such a fuss, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then he twisted his ears with feigned anger, "You can speak well, and you will always make your mother laugh." If you really want to tattoo words on your back, my mother will stab 'There is no silver here', and then stab an arrow to point at your ass. ”

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"Why?! Hmph, if you are seen on your back, teach them to take off your pants and see if there is any silver hidden inside! ”

Yang Huairen never expected his mother to be so humorous under his influence, so he paused for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

After Mother Yang finished speaking, it was the turn of the four ladies to step forward to see them off. This time the stakes are very high, Yang Huairen feels that the brothers have all been dispatched, and the four ladies can no longer follow, and someone must stay at home to guard.

Yun'er and Lian'er have to take care of the children, as well as the business at home and in Zhuangzi, and let them deal with whatever needs they need from the academy first.

If Xin stays, firstly, Yang Huairen promised the head of the Lan University to stay in the capital to take care of business, and secondly, the Qinglian Gang can help keep an eye on the movements in the city and the palace, even if it is to pass on news to Yang Huairen.

Tie Xiangyu is pregnant, it seems that she planted the seed as early as Dali, no wonder when Bao Youde came to collect debts that day, she was nauseous and wanted to vomit, Yang Huairen also had to brag to others, what is called an arrow, this is an arrow.

Even if Tie Xiangyu said that the sky was broken, it was impossible for Yang Huairen to let her go to Liaoguo with her, and persuade her to stay at home and raise the baby with peace of mind, which was the most important thing for her in the future.

After Yun'er gave birth to a child, she became more and more careful, and sewed a sachet hanging on her waist with her own hands and put it on Yang Huairen's waist.

"Here is a strand of green silk for the four of us, and a few fetal hairs of the two children, tied together with red rope and put in the sachet, you wear it, it is us and the children by your side.

I personally know that officials have the best nose, and when they are homesick, they take it out and sniff it, and relieve the pain of officials missing their families. ”

Yang Huairen lightly pressed the sachet and nodded heavily. In the end, he hugged the big official and Xiao Yu'er and kissed them their little faces, small hands and feet, and then turned around and ordered, and the team set off.

There was a neighing of horses and carts, and the huge contingent of envoys began to move, heading east along the official road.

Brother Tianba came over at this time, "Brother Ren, let's go, what if the Khitans don't let us come back?" ”

Yang Huairen laughed, "Then kill back!" ”
