"Crunch!" The wooden door was opened by Xiao Xuan, and she took out a handkerchief to cover her hair as she walked into the door.

Xiao Siwen, who was sitting on the futon next to the coffee table, immediately stood up and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Daddy!" Xiao Xuan called out in Khitan dialect, with a complicated expression on his face, and he almost cried, "They forced me to dance on stage...... I didn't make my hair like this voluntarily. I don't want to go home all the time in Xu Guo......"

"For the Father I understand, I understand." Xiao Siwen said with a melancholy face, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Xuan's arm, "I don't have time to talk about that, sit down, I have something to say to you for my father." ”

Xiao Xuan seemed to have guessed something and asked, "What can my daughter do for her father?" ”

Xiao Siwen looked her up and down, and asked in a low voice, "How is Guo Shao doing to you?" ”

"He didn't embarrass me, Aunt Bai and Sister Lu took good care of me." Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Siwen frowned and said, "Didn't my father say this, Guo Shaoke once ...... Let you sleep? ”

Xiao Sui immediately shook his head, and then said: "But Emperor Xu is good to me, I'll go and beg him to let my father go!" ”

"It's late!" Xiao Siwen immediately shook his head and said, "It's too late to do anything now." The father did not want him to let go, but ...... "it is difficult for him to speak," and the father wanted to stay in Xu Guo with Yanyan. ”

Xiao Xuan was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Xiao Siwen said in a deep voice: "If you die for your father's return to China, you can only stay in Tokyo and let Emperor Xu Guo take refuge, and there is still a glimmer of life." ”

"Dad wants to surrender to Xu Guo?" Xiao Xuan said.

Xiao Siwen's face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot, "Yanyan, no matter where you are, only your parents are your support, you can't watch your father die!" ”

Xiao Xuan hurriedly said, "My daughter will go to ask the Emperor of Xu Guo immediately." ”

…… The eunuch Wang Zhong walked to the water pavilion by the lake and bowed: "The official's house, Xiao Sui asked to see her outside the gate of the Moon Cave, and the slave maid did not leave without informing her." ”

At this time, Fu Jinzhan had gone back to tidy up his appearance, and Guo Shao still stayed by the lake to watch the scenery and rest. He casually asked Wang Zhong: "What are you doing when you see me?" ”

Wang Zhong bowed down and said: "Back to the official's house, Xiao Sui didn't say anything, and the slave didn't know." ”

"It must be for her father at this time." Guo Shao stood up and muttered, "How else can I help Xiao Siwen now...... Does Xiao Siwen want to admit defeat and surrender? ”

Guo Shao turned his head: "Bring Xiao Xuan here to see me." ”

Not long after, Wang Zhong brought Xiao Sui in, hugged his fists and bowed out. Xiao Xuan looked at Guo Shao with blank eyes, and did not forget to squat down, and called, "Your Majesty ......"

Guo Shao's tone became gentle, and he said very sincerely, "I apologize to you for what happened at the banquet. No matter what grievances Xiao Siwen has with me, I shouldn't blame the innocent people. ”

Xiao Sui thought for a while, "Mrs. Zhou is also present, she can dance, and it is not too much for me to dance for everyone." ”

Guo Shao said this, not because he was noble and fraternal, just because Xiao Sui was a beauty. Her skin is white and firm, although her body has not yet grown, and her face is a little childish, Guo Shao thinks she is a beautiful little lady, like a budding bud, exuding a fragrance.

He looked at Xiao Xuan's body with a meticulous gaze, and did not hide his thoughts at all.

Since ancient times, in places where power and wealth are concentrated, there has never been a shortage of beautiful women, Guo Shao does not have much desire at this time, but he still maintains a heart of pity and cherishment. It's like a person who comes out of starvation, even if there is a lot of fish and meat every day, he still feels pity when he sees the food thrown out.

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Sui and asked straightforwardly, "What do you want?" ”

Xiao Sui was silent for a moment and said, "My father wants to stay in Tokyo, please be kind to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh......" Guo Shao suddenly said, as he guessed, Xiao Siwen couldn't give him a surprise surprise.

Guo Shao said: "Yanyan, I can't do that. ”

"Why?" Xiao Xuan's face was pleading, his face turned red, and his eyes still looked at Guo Shao boldly and did not evade, "As long as Your Majesty agrees to this matter, Yan Yan is willing to agree to Your Majesty's request...... Any request! ”

What can a teenage lady get in exchange? Guo Shao could figure it out with his toes...... Even at this time, he can be a little more indulgent, and he can't help but think of all kinds of absurd and lewd things in his mind, and even imagine the pure and immature little lady in front of him showing all kinds of things that contrast with her appearance.

Guo Shao's eyes didn't take his eyes off her, but his hand subconsciously picked up the teacups on a few cases, took a sip of tea, and hit his wet and hot lips and tongue.

He soon realized that Marigold was in the same courtyard, and his thoughts were slightly confused. He thought of his mountain alliance and sea oath, and never felt that the idea in front of him was right...... Sincere feelings alone cannot completely suppress those instinctive desires in the face of temptation.

"Yanyan." Guo Shao's voice was very soft, "Even if I am the emperor, I can't just rely on personal preferences to influence national affairs. ”

He didn't have to explain the joints to a teenage lady.

Xiao Xuan looked disappointed, and said, "That...... Can Your Majesty still see my father? ”

Guo Shao took a deep breath, exhaled again, and said, "This request is not difficult for me, you can." When you go out, you see any eunuch and say that I mean. ”

Xiao Xuan listened and curtfell and retired.

Guo Shao didn't move the place, and waited in the water pavilion. Sure enough, he didn't wait long before he heard the sound of the door opening, Guo Shao withdrew his gaze from the lake, turned around, and saw Xiao Siwen and the eunuch Wang Zhong standing at the door. Guo Shao waved his hand, and Wang Zhong withdrew from the room.

Guo Shao remained silent and watched Xiao Siwen cover the wooden door with his backhand.

Suddenly, Xiao Siwen knelt down in front with a "plop", "Xiao has no regret for what he did before, and begs His Majesty the Emperor to leave a way to live!" ”

Xiao Siwen was so happy, which was completely unexpected by Guo Shao. Because in Guo Shao's impression, Xiao Siwen is a person who cares about the dignity of his face.

Looking at the opponent's blushing face with shame, it was as if he was enduring great pain. Guo Shao suddenly felt a sudden breath in his chest, and he didn't say a word for a long time, as if he was savoring the complete victory at this time, at least the victory over a specific person.

"Xiao Yuanjun, how can I let you live?" Guo Shao said slowly.

Xiao Siwen said: "In the past, there were many Khitans who served the Central Plains Dynasty. The guilty minister repented that he should not have gone against His Majesty, and now he is convinced, and he is already desperate, and begs His Majesty the Emperor to ignore the past suspicions and leave the guilty minister to follow the work of dogs and horses! ”

Guo Shao stood straight in front of the window, his eyes glanced down, looked down at the person kneeling at his feet, and said expressionlessly: "Xiao Envoy Jun is an envoy of the Liao State and has signed an alliance with my country. If you betray the Liao State now and stay in Tokyo and become a minister of Daxu, then the contract ...... How is it different from the left hand and the right hand signing each other? ”

Xiao Siwen raised his head and said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty's move, isn't it to design to make the guilty minister carry the black cauldron, and really to negotiate peace between the two countries?" ”

Guo Shao sighed: "Xiao Yuanjun, you think of yourself too much. He paused and said clearly, "Peace with the Liao State is in the interests of our dynasty; The alliance is first and foremost a national strategy, and by the way, it responds to Xiao Yuanjun's previous actions! Even if you don't consider these, once Xiao Yuanjun defects, he will no longer be the king of the Northern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, so what's the use of me keeping you? ”

Xiao Siwen was humiliated when he heard this, his teeth were about to bite out blood, his chest rose and fell, and his hands were clenched into fists; Guo Shao just looked at it coldly. The room was cold for a while, and Xiao Siwen said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is merciful to the criminal ministers, Yan Yan will at least not complain about Your Majesty......"

Guo Shao smiled but did not speak.

Xiao Siwen's face had become like a pig's liver, and he said, "If you let me go back, I won't die right away." I still have contacts in Daliao, and Your Majesty is not afraid that I will try to break the covenant? ”

Guo Shao thought for a moment, and then said: "This morning, I told Xiao Yuanjun, and I am looking forward to your response. Why don't you go back and let me wait to be impressed? If there are any ups and downs, it must be very interesting. ”

Xiao Siwen raised his head when he heard this, his expression was as rich and complex as a changing cloud. He stood up "Teng", but Guo Shao still stood motionless, looking at him with interest.

Xiao Siwen stood for a moment, bowed with his hand to his chest, and said, "The Great Liao envoy has retired." ”

Guo Shao waved his hand: "No courtesy, send off." ”

…… Xiao Siwen returned to the hall and saw that the remaining two deputy envoys were packing their luggage and preparing to leave Lanzhou the next day.

When a deputy envoy saw Xiao Siwen, he had no respect at all, looked at him coldly, and "hummed" in his mouth. Xiao Siwen's hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't care about the attitude of the deputy envoy.

At this time, Yang Gon stepped forward to greet him and said, "Xu Guojun and his ministers have no sincerity, but they are just designing to humiliate the envoys of Daliao. ”

The deputy envoy just now couldn't help but say: "Deputy Envoy Yang, he is already a sinner of Da Liao, don't you understand?" ”

Yang Gon said: "What is the evidence for humiliating Gong Xiao at the banquet? ”

The deputy envoy said coldly: "It won't be long before the matter spreads, what credentials do you use?" ”

When Xiao Siwen heard this, he couldn't help but say in a grateful tone: "I don't want to end up, only General Yang is a confidant." ”

Yang Gon sighed: "Duke Xiao's life-saving grace is unforgettable. Besides, Xia Guan and Xiao Gong have known each other for so long, don't they understand Xiao Gong's loyalty? ”

The hall was quiet, Yang Gon and the other two deputy envoys stopped talking, and Xiao Siwen was speechless. In this quaint building, it seems that there is a dead silence all of a sudden.

Before, Xiao Siwen learned that he was forced to send Xu Guo, and he already knew in his heart that it was very bad, full of all kinds of fear and despair, and he felt very panicked...... But the real death period is predictable, but it is a little numb.

He didn't have any strong feelings at this time, but he didn't know where he was, as if he saw the bottomless abyss in front of him, so dark that there was no light, like a long night that would never dawn.

The real despair is probably like this, not to be scared and desperately struggling, but to hold your breath and wait for that knife to come, and all your thoughts and attention are on that knife....
