"Southern Chu messenger Cui Shan visited the Khitan Emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." The messenger respectfully touched his chest with one hand and knelt down on one knee.

"Well, get up! The messenger of Nanchu is also a rare guest, if there is anything to say, I will follow our national teacher to cultivate together! cough ......" Yelu Hongye suddenly coughed uncontrollably, "Lingdan, give me Lingdan!" Yelu Hongye pointed to a brocade box on the table next to him and said.

"Why don't you quickly bring the Emperor's elixir, do you want to kill the Holy One?" Wuwei Daoist reproached the attendant next to him.

The attendant hurriedly took the brocade box, and Yelu Hongye snatched the brocade box from his hand, took out a golden pill and swallowed it.

The attendant handed over a cup of tea and drank it together, the Khitan Emperor swallowed it too fast and almost choked, so angry that he kicked the attendant to the ground, pointed at him and scolded: "Do you want to choke me to death with useless things?" Did you see that the emperor was about to refine into an immortal body, he was jealous of me, and wanted to secretly kill me, saying, who instructed you to come? Is it from Western Xia or Mongolia, or are you sent by Xiang Yu. ”

"The emperor wronged that, the little one just panicked for a moment and didn't react, so he took the pill too late, please calm the emperor's anger, the little one should be damned." The attendant hurriedly got up again and kowtowed to the Khitan Emperor.

The Khitan Emperor was about to kill the attendant if he didn't give up, and in the end, it was Wuwei Daoren who was persuaded by the side to be able to exonerate himself from the capital crime and continue to serve him by the emperor's side.

"It's really. I just meditated too seriously and forgot to take the elixir carefully refined for me by the national teacher at this time, and I almost missed a major event, such a person didn't remind me, and his hands and feet were so slow, why did the national teacher intercede for him, it was better to kill it. After taking the pill, the Khitan Emperor had regained his spirit and said angrily.

"The emperor is angry, this attendant is also so nervous and panicked because he cares about the emperor, I don't think he has any malice, just an honest man with a wooden head and a wooden brain, this kind of person is still useful to keep, let him continue to serve you by the emperor's side! In the future, I will train him, and he will definitely be able to serve the emperor comfortably. Wuwei Taoist smiled and said to Yelu Hongye, and nodded to the attendant, the attendant saw that the dignified national teacher Wuwei Taoist spoke for himself, so he saved a small life, and looked at him gratefully and was about to cry.

"Well, okay then, I'll spare you from dying, and in the future, you will follow the national teacher and learn these things well, don't do things so unremembered, don't hear it."

"Yes, yes, yes." The squire is submissive.

"Why don't you go and thank the national teacher for interceding for you, so that you can avoid death."

"Oh!" The attendant came to his senses from the panic and knelt down towards the Wuwei Taoist, "Xie Guoshi pleaded for the small ones, I will never forget your great kindness and great virtue, I will follow you to study hard in the future, and ask the national teacher to accept a small bow." ”

"Get up, there's nothing to thank me, the one who really saved you is the Emperor, and you should thank him. However, it is time for you to learn to be smart, and from now on, you will learn how to serve the emperor with me, so that the emperor can be served comfortably every day. Wuwei Daoist didn't put on any show, but said this to the guard very kindly, and helped him up as he spoke.

"Thank you, Emperor Xie Guoshi, I will definitely be more careful in the future!"

This guard originally didn't have a good impression of Wuwei Daoist, and felt that he was in the cholera court, so he really didn't pay attention to the matter of this elixir, and after this incident, he really began to respect Wuwei Daoist.

The messenger who witnessed the whole thing from below couldn't help but admire the skill of this inaction-minded man, and he really couldn't offend that side. first helped them Nan Chu wash away the suspicion of sending this attendant to murder the emperor, and then interceded for the attendant to let the emperor save him from death, and then asked the attendant to follow him to learn how to serve the emperor well, so that the emperor felt comfortable, and also established his image of dedication to him in front of the emperor, he was really tactful enough in terms of dealing with the world, it seems that if he wants to say that the Tongkhitan Emperor sent troops to deter the Henan Flying Tiger Army, he has to start with that Wuwei Taoist.

The messenger raised his eyes slightly and saw that after the Khitan Emperor had eaten the pill, he was no longer the sick and sick he had before, and he had become very energetic. So he struck while the iron was hot and said to the Khitan Emperor: "The messenger Cui Shan, on behalf of the King of Southern Chuxiang, congratulates the Emperor on his immortality and longevity. ”

Emperor Khitan's favorite thing to hear was that people praised him for his immortality, so he was even happier after his ass and had a good impression of this messenger.

"Okay, now you can say, what is the reason why Xiang Yu sent you. I don't believe it's just to ask you to come to me and say something nice to me. The Khitan Emperor said.

Seeing that the Khitan Emperor was in a good mood, Cui Shan took out the letter written by Wang Mang on his body and presented it, and the attendant did not dare to be reckless this time, and hurriedly took the letter from his hand and handed it to the emperor.

Yelu Hongye first saw the first half of the letter, the content of the letter is nothing more than to sing the praises of Yelu Hongye side knock on the side, and the sycophants are hidden and make people feel comfortable, Yelu Hongye is comfortable in the letter.

Later, when he saw Wang Mang's proposal to let the Khitans be stationed on the defense line in the north of Henan, so that the Flying Tiger Army inside had nowhere to escape, Yelu Hongye's face changed a little, and he wanted to let them Khitan do such a thing without money, although he also felt that only they Khitans could do this matter, but Xiang Yu's letter did not indicate that he wanted to give him any benefits, which made him feel very unhappy.

"Is your Western Chu Overlord so ignorant of etiquette? Do you ask someone to help and don't even give you benefits? If you want me to say that you want us to help you defend the northern defense line of Henan, you can simply give us the entire north and south of Henan to us at that time, anyway, your southern Chu is large, and we have nothing to lose. The Khitan Emperor said.

Cui Shan had already guessed that Yelu Hongye would say this, and he didn't look embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Emperor, King Xiang has already thought about it, when the emperor helps us subdue the Flying Tiger Army in Henan, we will definitely offer gold and silver, beautiful women and wine, and the best grain and cloth in Southern Chu." ”

"Don't we have these things in Khitan, you King Xiang is so stingy, didn't you say anything to a few county towns or something?"

"I never talked about it."

"Hmph, then forget it, this matter will not be discussed." The Khitan Emperor waved his hand, turned his head and discussed the Taoist with the Wuwei Taoist, leaving the messenger Cui Shan aside and ignoring it, which made Cui Shan very embarrassed.
