Chapter 403: I'm leaving

In Li Zhang's tent, Yelu Zhirang looked at the letter written to him by his sister Yan Niang, and the expression on his face was also happy and sad, and when he saw the end, he couldn't stop crying, and Li Zhang next to him also sighed in his heart, he could see that Yelu Zhirang's feelings were from the heart, but he didn't expect that the relationship between him and Yan Niang was really deep, no wonder Yan Niang didn't even want to contact her father, but she contacted this younger brother.

Finally, when Yelu Zhi stopped crying after reading the letter, he found that Li Zhang was still looking at him, and he smiled a little embarrassedly at the moment: "Let the envoy smile, thanks to the envoy's care for his sister in the past few years, please bow to me!" ”

Yelu Zhirang asked Li Zhang to make a big salute as he spoke, but Li Zhang hurriedly helped him up and said: "You don't have to thank me, Yan Niang and I are also fateful, and she has helped me a lot in the past few years!" ”

At this time, Yelu Zhirang also slowly calmed down, and asked a lot of things about Yan Niang at the moment, Li Zhang also answered one by one, and in the end, Yelu Zhirang wanted to wipe his tears a little, but it was not early at this time, so in the end he also got up and said goodbye, after all, he still had to go back to Yelu Zongzhen to return to his life.

Sending away Yelu Zhirang, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, although Yelu Zhirang couldn't help much, but as long as he could help himself cover up, he should be able to deal with the past, of course, Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's gift had to be sent in time, after all, there was no need to offend the people of the Liao royal family at this time.

"Captain, what did you say to this person, he was still angry just now, why did he get angry when he went in with you?" At this moment, Fu Bi suddenly came over curiously and asked Li Zhang, in addition, he found that Ye Luzhi's eyes were red, as if he had cried just now, could it be that he was beaten and cried by the captain?

"Hehe, don't think about it, prepare the gift for Queen Xiao, and send the gift list tomorrow, so that our task is almost completed!" Li Zhang didn't explain, but smiled and instructed Fu Bi that they had come to visit the sick Yelu Longxu this time, and by the way, they would give some gifts, and there would be nothing else to do with them.

"Let's not wait a little longer, in case Emperor Liao really dies of illness, we can also get the news as soon as possible?" Fu Bi heard this but asked a little unwillingly, although he was born in Jinshi, but he was suppressed because of Fan Zhongyan's affairs before, and his life was not satisfactory, although this envoy was a chore, but if he could send the news of Yelu Longxu's death back as soon as possible, it would also accumulate some prestige for him.

Li Zhang looked left and right at this time, and then pulled Fu Bi into the room before he said again: "I also hope that Yelu Longxu will die soon, there are many internal contradictions in the Liao Kingdom, especially the biological mother of the Liao Prince and Queen Xiao, there have been several conflicts before, if Yelu Longxu dies suddenly, I am afraid that no one will be able to suppress the contradictions between the two, and there will definitely be a big drama at that time, but I am worried that the Liao Kingdom will not let us stay to watch the play." ”

"Dushi, do you mean to say that the Liao Kingdom will let us leave as soon as possible?" Fu Bi also heard the meaning of Li Zhang's words, and asked with a frown, he also knew the contradiction between Xiao Yunjin and Xiao Bodhisattva, and it was precisely for this reason that he wanted to stay for a while longer, so that after Yelu Longxu died, they could also find out more news and monitor the movements of the Liao court at any time.

"Yes, Yelu Longxu's health has been extremely bad, he almost died of several illnesses before, but he survived again, it is estimated that he also knows that there are too many crises within the Liao Kingdom, so he wants to hold on for a while longer, and during this time, he should try to make some arrangements, if I were him, he would definitely drive our mission away, so as not to interfere in their internal strife." Li Zhang analyzed very seriously at this time.

"That's really the case, if I were the Liao Emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't want an external force to intervene at this time, now that our task is complete, I'm afraid he will find an excuse to send us away directly." After listening to this, Fu Bi also nodded thoughtfully.

Li Zhang's guess was quickly fulfilled, and the day after he met Yelu Zhirang, the other party came again, but this time he was ordered by the crown prince Yelu Zong to pass them on, according to the news revealed by Yelu Zhirang in advance, it should be to send them back to the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Zongzhen summoned Li Zhang again in the big tent of the last banquet, but this time there was no other person to accompany him, and compared to before, Yelu Zongzhen's small face was also full of exhaustion, according to the news that Li Zhang got from Zhao Anren, Yelu Zongzhen has been staying in front of Yelu Longxu's hospital bed during this time, and it is estimated that he is afraid that Yelu Longxu will suddenly not be able to hold on.

"Lieutenant Envoy Li, my father asked me to inform you that he is very grateful to the Empress Dowager of Song and the emperor for their concern, so he has prepared a lot of return gifts this time, and there is also a letter, please bring it back with you!" Yelu Zongzhen didn't seem to be in the mood to talk too much to Li Zhang, and when he saw him, he immediately announced that he wanted the mission to leave.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this envoy will definitely bring the letter back for Your Majesty, but I don't know if Your Majesty's health is okay?" Li Zhang nodded at first, and then asked knowingly, Yelu Zongzhen always had a condescending attitude when he saw them, which made Li Zhang very uncomfortable, so he deliberately blocked the other party at this time.

"Father's health is very good, you better prepare for going back as soon as possible, and I will arrange someone to escort you away later!" Sure enough, Li Zhang's words also pierced the sore spot in Yeluzong's heart, and he said again with some impatience at the moment, and wanted Li Zhang to leave after speaking.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw Yelu Zhirang, who came with Li Zhang, hesitated, and then stood up and said to Yelu Zongzhen: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates are willing to escort the Song State delegation away!" ”

"Chi told you to go?" Yelu Zongzhen didn't expect Yelu Zhirang to recommend himself, and he was stunned for a moment and asked, Yelu Zhirang has been his companion since he was a child, and later served as a waiter in his own account, so he also knows Yelu Zhirang's character very well, if he remembers correctly, this is the first time that Yelu Zhirang took the initiative to ask for a position.

"The subordinates also want to share the worries of His Majesty and the crown prince, and it is not difficult to escort the Song State mission, so the subordinates want to give it a try!" Yelu Zhirang saluted again, he actually wanted to take the opportunity of the escort to learn more about his sister's situation from Li Zhang, after all, if Li Zhang left, he would have no place to inquire about his sister.
