Chapter 137: Shame
"I heard that in the past, the Song people treated our Liao envoys very favorably, and every main store in Tokyo City would choose women to serve us, and I couldn't wait to press the Song women under my crotch and wanted to taste the wonderful taste." Yelu Shiwu's face was even more annoying than Xiao Xi's.
Xiao Xi frowned slightly, a little disgusted by Yelu Shiwu's rude style.
Liao now also regards itself as the Celestial Empire, and has studied the Great Song Dynasty in terms of culture, etiquette and court institutions, and one of the reasons why he Xiao Xi was able to send an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty was that he was proficient in Han culture and etiquette.
However, disgust is disgust, Xiao Xi is deep, but he does not show the slightest on his face.
On the contrary, Yelu Shiwu unabashedly expressed his dislike for Xiao Xi becoming more and more like a Han in some aspects.

Zhang Bin seized the time, buried his head in the public case, and together with the snake slave, repeatedly studied and analyzed the recent military situation of the Liao State in the pacification division, as well as the personal situation of the Liao envoy Xiao Xi and the deputy envoy Yelu Shiwu, looking for the flaws of the other party.
"The Liao people are just the opposite of the Song Dynasty's Chongwen suppression, the Liao people advocate force, and the status of the military generals is much higher than that of civilian officials, that Yelu Shiwu is a military general, and he has quite a lot of military merits in the Liao State, according to the intelligence of the pacification department, this person is quite conceited, and acts arrogantly and cruelly, and likes women, and Xiao Xi is reused in the Liao State to distinguish talents and be proficient in the culture of the Song Dynasty, although it is higher than the military official position of Yelu Shiwu, but it is the most despised figure of the Liao military generals like Yelu Shiwu." Zhang Bin vaguely has a direction, but many things are not as good as changes, and it depends on improvisation, and sometimes opportunities are fleeting.
The snake slave thought for a moment and said, "Childe wants to make something come out between Xiao Xi and Yelu Shiwu?" ”
Zhang Bin praised: "Yes, but the specific situation will have to wait until I meet these two people." ”
After a pause, Zhang Bin remembered something again, and said with a smile: "The old man of the poisonous rat is really powerful, I followed what he said, added the juice of the peacock flower to the sage powder, and then made it into a pill, and specially found someone to try it, the medicinal properties are no longer so intense, but it is better to persist and accumulate, whether it can be done this time, maybe this pill has a great effect." ”
The snake slave said: "Don't worry, Gongzi has already instructed the protocol house yesterday that from tonight's reception banquet, I will be responsible for the food of the Liao State Mission." ”
The two were discussing in the military office of the Division of Pacification, when Li Siwa suddenly came to report: "Son, Honglu Temple sent someone over, saying that the Liao delegation arrived at Shili Pavilion an hour later. ”
………
………
Zhang Bin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to Shili Pavilion with four guards, including Tiger Head, Snake Slave and Li Siwa.
When Zhang Bin arrived, the privy envoy Lu Gongbi and a cadre from Honglu Temple had just arrived, Zhang Bin had met with Lu Gongbi and others in the past, and there was no time to greet them, so the Liao delegation came.
After all, Lu Gongbi is a privy envoy, and his official position is several levels higher than Xiao Xi, and he deigns to welcome him, the envoy of the Liao State, also because the Song State is in a weak position, so Xiao Xi is not much arrogant when he salutes each other, but it can be regarded as polite and courteous.
Zhang Bin listened to the hypocritical conversation between Lu Gongbi and Xiao Xi, and secretly observed the expressions of Xiao Xi and his deputy envoy Yelu Shiwu, and smiled when he saw the impatience on Yelu Shiwu's face.
Yelu Shiwu's conceited personality really did not disappoint.
After Lu Gongbi and Xiao Xi finished talking nonsense, they said: "The ambassador got off the car all the way south, and please follow the palace into Tokyo City, the official has already asked people to prepare a banquet and singing and dancing, and after the ambassador and his party have washed the dust, I will wait for the banquet to chat." ”
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, and was about to reply politely, but Yelu Shiwu rushed ahead and said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and enter the city, I have long wanted to taste the food of the Song Kingdom and appreciate the demeanor of a Tokyo woman." ”
Xiao Xi frowned suddenly, and a flash of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
Lu Gongbi glanced at Yelu Shiwu and said with a smile: "I promise not to disappoint the deputy envoy." ”
Then he turned to Zhang Bin and instructed: "Zhang Bin, you are the envoy of the embassy personally appointed by His Majesty, and you must entertain guests well these days." ”
"The privy envoy can rest assured that the lower officials will satisfy the guests." Zhang Bin agreed with a smile, and then deliberately turned his body half-way, so that Xiao Xi could just notice the look in his eyes, and said at the right time: "If the two ambassadors have any requirements, you can tell them at any time." ”
As he spoke, a touch of sarcasm flashed in Zhang Bin's eyes, which happened to be captured by Xiao Xi.
When Xiao Xi heard Zhang Bin say "two ambassadors", he couldn't help frowning again, and after seeing the flash of ridicule in Zhang Bin's eyes, he felt a little annoyed in his heart.
This anger was naturally more aimed at Yelu Shiwu, and he couldn't help but scold: "Yelu Shiwu, this idiot, is simply embarrassing." ”

…………
In the evening, at the sumptuous reception banquet prepared by Song Guo, Lu Gongbi continued to say some hypocritical conversations with Xiao Xi, but compared with when they first met during the day, there were more temptations between the two at this time.
According to the usual practice, there will be no official business involved tonight, because the Liao envoy represents the emperor of Liao, and he will meet Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, tomorrow, and what he says or submits can only be given to Zhao Ji.
On the left side of the main seat, Zhang Bin accompanied Yelu Shiwu, the deputy envoy of the Liao State, and was also talking some nonsense that seemed to be nonsense.
Yelu Shiwu did not lie in Shili Pavilion during the day, he was indeed yearning for the food of the Great Song Dynasty, eating very highly, eating loudly, and appreciating a few times from time to time, and his voice was loud, especially Zhang Bin introduced the food while evaluating the beauties dancing in the field, and whispered, intentional or unintentional witty words, which caused Yelu Shiwu to laugh heartily, and frequently aroused Xiao Xi's dissatisfied and annoyed eyes.
Xiao Xi looked in the direction of Yelu Shiwu many times, and Lu Gongbi next to Xiao Xi also found this, remembering that Zhang Bin specially mentioned the title of "two ambassadors" during the day, glanced at Zhang Bin, and couldn't help but secretly admire it in his heart, thinking that Zhang Bin's means were extraordinary, this was to drive a wedge between the chief and deputy envoys of the Liao State, and then find a way to ask the bottom line of the Liao State.
"Your Majesty is wise to let this son serve as the embassy companion."
"Han Qi gave me a special explanation yesterday, let me look at Zhang Bin, worried that this son is young and will have an accident, but now I look at it, this son is old and steady, but Han Qi is too worried."
While Lu Gongbi continued to talk nonsense with Xiao Xi, he couldn't help but secretly worry in his heart.
The sleeping women arranged for the Liao envoy tonight are all meat prostitutes, and there is no problem of coercion, and the court has rewarded and compensated these women afterwards.
As for the dancing girl and singer, after all, the Liao people have just come, and tonight is a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the Liao people also regard themselves as the Celestial Empire, so they still have to pay attention to their faces, be able to restrain themselves, and there is no such thing as singers and dancing girls being forced by the Liao people.
But in the back, after a long time, the true nature of the Liao people was exposed, and as long as it was a woman who entered the Liao people's residence in the protocol house, she would be regarded as their plaything.
