Chapter 226: The Night Banquet

The sun in the northwest is like a lazy noble beauty, and before people can see enough of her gorgeous and dazzling figure, she hides behind the west mountain early, and changes to the enchanting and wonderful Miss Yue, dancing lonely solo in the night sky like ink.

It wasn't until the Liao soldiers on the north bank of the river lit the braziers outside the tent one after another, and they slowly came out of the tent.

From a distance, it seemed that they were talking about this, An Yi and Gao Ciyi looked at each other and nodded, as if they agreed, turned around and got on the horse, and led a group of civil officials to cross the stream again under the escort of Jin Mingyin, and returned to the camp tent on the south bank.

After the horses were on the south bank, Gao Ciyi looked back at the direction of Liaoying and asked An Yi, "Brother, are we really going at night?" ”

An Yi looked at him and nodded with a smile, "Go, people just celebrated the festival, and they were kindly invited, so let's have breakfast." ”

Jin Mingyin, who was beside him, heard this and asked in shock: "They want to invite you to a banquet in the evening?" ”

An Yi looked at him with a frightened look, thinking that Jin Ming Yin was afraid that he would not take him with him, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort: "Go and go, we have hundreds of people in the past, and people are not bad for our rice bowls, look at you scared and lost your soul." ”

"That's not what I meant!"

Immediately afterwards, Jin Mingyin told An Yi about the scene behind the hill during the day, and An Yi, who had a relaxed face just now, also frowned tightly, and asked the same question as Jin Mingyin,

"Fierce fire oil? If you don't defend the city, why do the Liao people want so much fierce fire oil? ”

Gao Ciyi thought about it for a while, and said very worriedly: "Fierce fire oil is the most fueling, they won't hold a Hongmen banquet tonight, and leave us there with a fire!" ”

Jin Mingyin slapped his hands violently after hearing this, and said very categorically: "Yes, yes, yes!" It must be so, I said that their eyes were very erratic, and they lied to us that it was rapeseed oil, which was obviously a bad intention! Brother Yi, there are a lot of us, do you want us to do it first? ”

An Yi didn't listen to the wind and rain like the two of them, and pressed the handle of the knife that Jin Mingyin was about to pull out, signaled him not to panic, pondered carefully and said: "I don't think so, not to mention that it's okay to talk to the Liao people in the morning, they also promised to talk about the end of the withdrawal of troops within three days, and if there is a difference, it will be a matter of talking about the border in the next two days."

Besides, if he really wants to move us, why bother to get two barrels of fierce fire oil from afar? Wouldn't it be enough to hide some axemen? What's more, they don't have a reason to harm us, even if all of us are more than 500 people here, they won't be able to enter Lanzhou. So I don't think the Liao people will make any moves at this time. Now that the strings are so close, let's not get into trouble. ”

"That'...... What do you say about the fire oil? ”

Because Jin Mingyin is more familiar with this kind of thing, he is also very sensitive, in his cognition, this kind of fierce fire oil is a very offensive thing, who is okay to be in the camp of peace talks?

Although An Yi knew that this news had an unusual smell, he was not as sensitive as Jin Mingyin, so he just told him to be a little more careful at night.

"It's good that you pay a little attention when you patrol at night, and now that we have finally come to the step of peace talks, it's not good that we have broken the rules because of our random suspicions, like we are not sincere."

"Okay, then I got it."

.............

An Yi returned to the camp tent and took off the official robe on his body, put on a set of plain white robes, and left the necessary garrison sergeants in the camp, and the rest of the people were all taken to the Liao camp.

It is estimated that the Liao camp is also fully prepared, and the generalissimo Han Guangde on the north bank saw the "rubbing rice" team of more than 500 people, the smile on his face did not decrease, and Xiao Yan'er behind him greeted him from afar, raised his hand towards the big tent of peace talks behind him, and said with a smile:

"The earl and a few distinguished guests of the Xia Kingdom are invited, and the warriors behind please move to the back of the camp, we have set up a big feast to entertain."

"Thank you Generalissimo for your kindness."

As he spoke, the young general beside him rushed forward, bowed to Jin Mingyin and them, and led them to the rear camp.

Jin Mingyin took advantage of Han Guangde to turn around and take the lead in the big tent, stepped forward a few steps to An Yi's side, took out the handcuff from the cuff without a trace, and stuffed it into An Yi's hand,

"Brother Yi, take this."

An Yi took the cold copper lump and picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but ask him with a happy brow: "Handcuffs?" Did you make it? ”

Jin Mingyin nodded, leaned into his ear and whispered: "But do you remember, this thing is only a half-finished product, and there is basically no problem within twenty steps, and if it is far away, it will be difficult to guarantee where it will go." ”

As he spoke, he took out five more iron-plated projectiles similar to long guns and handed them to An Yi.

"That's what I brought with me. If you don't have any more, you won't have a place to rest. ”

An Yi smiled and responded: "Okay, that's enough, isn't there still Gao Ciyi here, if you really meet a master, I can be considered safe from far and near, but you should be careful." ”

"Don't worry, these more than 500 elites are all carefully selected by Uncle Jiang, and there is no big problem."

"That's good."

The two nodded to each other, and their eyes staggered away,

An Yi hid the handcuff in his hand to his waist, and then led the crowd behind him into the daytime peace tent in turn.

Liaoying's actions are quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, this long table is full of all kinds of food and wine.

And unlike the Central Plains, the dining table of the grassland people is mostly good at beef and mutton, all kinds of cooking and frying, brushed with the fresh fragrance of meat sauce, filling the entire big tent, so that people can step here, as if they can hear the cry of the temple in the stomach,

Cups of silverware of cheese, milk tea, and a few gold-plated bowls of tea are crystal clear and smell like some kind of fine wine.

In addition to food and wine, beauty is also indispensable.

If it is said that at the beginning, the five women from the Western Regions who danced in like colorful butterflies and wore colorful light gauze and bearded clothes made people feel full of fairy spirit,

Then Xiao Yan'er, who walked in later, was really shocked.

Xiao Yan'er's figure is more similar to Liu Siyi, both are delicate and petite, which is rare among Khitan women, she is dressed in a magenta double phoenix embroidered cloud and gold silk dress, and the two golden phoenixes embroidered on her body are graceful and gorgeous, holding the bird's head high as if she wants to come to life, full of pride,

This overall bright red outfit reflects her peach-like face, her eyes are flashing with gorgeous brilliance, red lips and bright teeth, and her body exudes a nobility and dignity like a Han woman.

The fair skin is not much more panicked than the moon girl hanging in the air, the slender waist is like a tight silk belt, like the two fingers like the tip of the fresh onion gently hang the green silk of the sideburns behind the ear, revealing the two simple and luxurious embellishment pearls on the earlobes shining under the lights, like the bright lanterns on the street during the fifteenth festival,

When she stepped into the camp, a pair of beautiful eyes that were not too described, although they were deliberately slightly bowed, they were like a golden phoenix on her gorgeous clothes, and the vigorous heroic spirit on her eyebrows was like the nobility between her gestures, which was difficult to restrain herself.

Gao Ciyi naturally noticed the dazzling Xiao Yan'er on the opposite side of the long case at a glance, leaned closer to Anyi's side, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I didn't see it when I was negotiating during the day, this female official is so beautiful?" ”

An Yi didn't say anything, but turned around and picked Gao Ciyi with his eyes,

Gao Ciyi didn't understand what An Yi meant by looking at him at first, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately had a sudden expression, and hurriedly added: "But there is still a gap between beauty and beauty, for example, Xin'er belongs to the category of 'beauty'." ”

An Yi really didn't mean this, but he just habitually looked at Gao Ciyi,

He was amused by Gao Ciyi, who quickly reacted to his "gaffe", and said, "No, my sister is not here." However, let's say one thing, this Yan'er girl is indeed a charming city, especially this arrogance, she can't pretend to be able to pretend, and she can't hide it, so it gives people the feeling of being in the top position for a long time, but ......"

An Yi then smiled mysteriously at Gao Ciyi, "But is this the temperament that a female official should have?" ”

Gao Ciyi listened and carefully looked at Xiao Yan'er who was sitting down with her eyes, "Then what do you mean?" She's not a female official at all? ”

An Yi nodded, "Not like that!" ”

Then he bowed to Han Guangde next to him, and said to Gao Ciyi: "Look at that generalissimo again, just a casual Liao Dynasty robe, but this female official is dressed in a gorgeous dress, and the most important thing is that the generalissimo has no unusual appearance on his face, as if he doesn't think that there is anything wrong with this female official being more eye-catching than himself, is this something that Empress Xiao's envoy can explain?" What does this mean? ”

"It means that either this female official is the daughter of a royal noble, and her status is more noble than that generalissimo, or the official position is actually above that generalissimo!"

An Yi smiled at him with satisfaction and patted his arm gently, "Okay, now, look, I'm right with you, watch more, listen more, and contact more, things are never as simple as they seem on the surface." ”

"Everyone!"

Han Guangde saw that the people on both sides were all seated, so he motioned to the maid to lower the curtain of the tent, raised the silver cup in his hand, and said loudly with a smile:

"Today is the traditional festival of our Khitan people, even when the war is tight, we will gather and celebrate, and spend it with our clansmen, but today, with us to celebrate with the guests from all the way from Daxia, this first glass of wine, to the most honorable Uncle Jingyuan, to us who are about to become allies forever! To the hard-won peace between the two countries of Liaoxia! ”

"Generalissimo Han is really polite, thank you for your hospitality, come, let's do it together!"

......................

Rear battalion

The banquet in the back camp is not as grand as in the big tent of peace talks, and most of the people and horses are still on the side, after all, the border army and the guard in Gansu Town have all been on the battlefield, and many of them may have fought with the Liao people on the opposite side, and even fought and even fought.

These straightforward men are not as easy as those "humble gentlemen" to hate the country and the family.

However, for the sake of politeness, Jin Mingyin still took Mao Zi and a few other cronies, and sat around with the young generals of the Liao people opposite, chatting with each other.

Among them, there was a Liao soldier who was not tall, who was gnawing on the leg of mutton in his hand, suddenly covering his stomach and frowning, crying out that his stomach hurt, and then said hello to the general, dropped the leg of mutton and ran towards the forest on the side.

After all, people have three urgencies, and when the sky falls, you can't help but let people go to the toilet, right?

merely

After the short Liao soldier slipped into the woods, he didn't quickly find a shadow to solve the problem, but whistled at a tall cedar not far away.

"Huh~"

The whistle was not loud, but the penetrating power was strong enough, and with a few small echoes, several black shadows burst out from behind the tree, and the leader was the leader of the strange convoy of Liao people that Jin Mingyin and Mao Zi saw in the daytime!

"Is it done over there?"

The short Liao Bing nodded: "Don't worry, act as originally planned tonight!" ”

"Good!"
