Chapter 957: Xijin Mansion

Yang Huairen then grabbed a piece of his robe and draped it on the man in blue, there was really nothing to say, she had to squat there and cry, no one could persuade her.

There was an awkward silence in the room, Yang Huairen and Xiao Qi looked at each other, and no one knew what to do next.

The woman in blue cried for a while as if she had lost her strength, and the sobbing finally became quieter, she suddenly raised her head, looked at Yang Huairen, and then at Xiao Qi, the hostility in her eyes seemed to have a deep hatred.

Yang Huairen and Xiao Qi had never seen such sharp eyes, as if they were going to eat people, so they couldn't help but take half a step back.

The woman in blue stood up aggressively, raised her hand and pointed at Yang Huairen and said viciously, "Yang Huairen, I remember you, you also remember something for me, and when we meet next time, I will definitely make you look good!" ”

Then she directly ripped off a black cloth covering her face, and said with a provocative smile, "You can see what grandma looks like, don't meet in the future, you can't pretend to be unrecognizable!" ”

After saying that, she was about to leave, and first walked to the hole in the ground where she came, stood and looked down, and then turned back unconvinced, and walked straight towards the main entrance.

Yang Huairen stretched his neck and couldn't understand what she was going to do, and his heart showed that you were an uninvited guest who came to my room late at night, why did you return your arrogance and justice, I became unreasonable, your attitude is so arrogant, I am afraid that no one dares to do this in front of me Yang Huairen.

The woman in blue said as she walked, "I don't take the tunnel, I prefer to go through the main entrance, I want to see who dares to stop me!" ”

She opened the door suddenly, and there were more than 20 heavily armed guards at the door, and she was also stunned by this scene, and said in her heart, what kind of assassin is this, dare to walk through the main gate and walk in front of the guards?

The guards didn't get Yang Huairen's order, and they didn't know what to do, so they had to stay where they were, holding their blades and refusing to retreat.

The woman in blue had no fear on her face, and yelled, "Get out of the way for my aunt!" ”

The guards were even more confused, and they all looked at Yang Huairen. Yang Huairen didn't understand what was going on tonight, this woman in blue was too weird, things were too weird, he didn't want to have any entanglement with her, but now he wished that she would get out of here, so he waved his hand to the guards helplessly, signaling them to get out of the way and let her go.

When the guards got the order, they stood on both sides of the gate to make way for them, and the woman in blue was not polite at all, turned her head and glanced at Yang Huairen fiercely, and then swaggered away.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Yang Huairen and the guards were stunned, and then Yang Huairen shook his head and sighed, "This is a man, dare to break into Lao Tzu's room at night, Lao Tzu must kill him."

But this girl is so weird, I guess it's probably a bad head, and she got sick tonight, so she had such a show. Okay, let's go back to sleep, we have to go back tomorrow! ”

Xiao Qi snickered, knowing that Yang Huairen was looking for face by himself, and a group of old men were tossed for half a night by a strange girl who didn't know what her identity was, and they didn't say that she was sick, afraid that she wouldn't have to go down the stairs.

The next day, no one said anything about it, so I thought it was a weird dream, and I didn't take it to heart.

The mission traveled all the way north, and three days later came to the province of Xijin in Nanjing, Liao. Xijin Mansion is a big city, I heard that it is the second largest city in the Liao Kingdom, only a little smaller than the capital of the capital of Beijing Dading Mansion.

It was already past noon when Yang Huairen and others entered the city, but the streets in Xijin Mansion were still crowded, and the streets were very lively.

The whole city is divided into a tic-tac-toe frame by two main streets running from north to south, similar to the Tokyo city of the Great Song Dynasty, with the Liao State Palace Taining Palace in the north, and the local eunuchs and wealthy people living around the palace, while the central and southern parts are divided into 26 squares for the common people to live in.

The difference is that the two major tile cities in the province are not divided into east and west like Tokyo City, but naturally form two cities, the north and the south, and they are also very close to the north and south gates.

Nanshi is mainly a market dominated by Han Chinese, and the Song people can trade in the nearby Nanshi after they trafficked tea, silk fabrics and other commodities into the city from the Great Song Dynasty.

Because the amount of currency in circulation in Liao was insufficient, even in large cities such as Xijin Province, when trading large amounts of goods, they still retained the method of bartering.

The merchants who came to Liao to do business in the Great Song Dynasty were also accustomed to this way, so they directly exchanged their goods for furs, Dongzhu and other commodities that were abundant in the Liao Kingdom, and then directly transported them back to the Great Song Dynasty and then exchanged them for silver taels.

The North Market was a Khitan-dominated market, through which merchants repackaged the goods of the Great Song Dynasty and resold them to Khitan merchants in the north, allowing them to take them back to Shangjing and Tokyo to sell.

The mission entered the city under the leadership of Liao officials, was arranged to hand over the New Year's coins, and then lived in the post house.

The official system of the Liao State imitated the Great Song Dynasty, so the administration of Xijin Mansion was similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty's Daimyo Mansion, but there was one opposite to the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the local military officials had a higher status than the administrative officials, and the Khitans had a higher status than the Han people for officials of the same rank.

The army of the Liao State is divided into three parts, in addition to the forbidden army that directly receives the emperor's orders, there are also the two privy councils of the north and the south, to control the two largest armies in the north and south, and the Xijin Mansion is stationed in the south of the Liao state.

The supreme officials of the two courts were also directly appointed by the emperor of Liao, and the candidates were selected from among the emperor's most trusted people.

According to the long-standing practice, the supreme officer of the Southern Privy Council, the King of the Southern Court, is served by the Yelu clan, usually a prince of the Yelu clan, while the Northern Privy Council, which is served by the Xiao family, is generally a respected person in the family of the Empress of Liao.

Now the king of the Southern Court is the younger brother of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji, Yelu Bawotai, who controls the more than 200,000 Liao troops of the Southern Privy Council.

At the same time, Yelu Hongji advocated the principle of governing the Han with the Han Dynasty, so most of the civil officials in the Xijin Prefecture and Nanjing Province were Han Chinese.

For example, the highest administrative position in Xijin Mansion was held by Deng Congbei, a Han man, but the military and political affairs of Xijin Mansion were decided by Yelu Bawotai, the king of the Southern Yuan, and the small matters were really handled by Deng Liu.

After the envoy handed over the New Year's coin, Yelu Bawotai invited Yang Huairen, the Song envoy, to a night banquet.

As an envoy of the Song Dynasty, Yang Huairen could not shirk the hospitality of the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, so he could only take Brother Heiniu, Brother Tianba, Ke Xiaochuan and Xiao Lao'er, who was familiar with the customs of the Liao Kingdom.

Lu Jinyi and Lin Chong pretended to be accompanied by personal guards, and Xiao Qi was afraid of any accidents, so he led dozens of Fengshen guards with good light skills to protect them secretly.
