Yelu Abaoji arranged for Li Congjing and others to stay in the post house, naturally to facilitate control, and Li Congjing had no opinion on this. When Li Congjing and the others were sent to the post station, Yelu Deguang's face was still not very good-looking, and he didn't bother to do any superficial work, so he snorted coldly at Li Congjing and left.

When everyone moved into the post house, there was no unpleasant performance, and the accompanying officials, except for flattering Li Congjing's wisdom and martial arts, were all laughing at Yelu Deguang's deflated appearance. For this group of officials in the Central Plains, being able to see that the Khitan people are in a bad mood is the reason why they are in a good mood, even if they see the Khitan people fall on the road, they can hold their stomachs and laugh for a long time. The hatred of the Central Plains people towards the Khitans has long been irreconcilable with the Khitans' invasion of the border for many years.

Feng Dao, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has a refined demeanor, as a Confucian and Taoist priest, always looks light and smiling, and is so kind that it can not only make people feel good in life, it is estimated that many people want to pull the ball-like fat on his face to see if it is elastic.

After Li Congjing's room stayed for a while and discussed some matters about meeting Abaoji tomorrow, Feng Dao floated out with his round belly, and Mo Li just entered the door at this time. The door frame was not too narrow, but it was definitely not wide, and as soon as the two of them entered and exited, Feng Dao politely turned sideways and gave way. He didn't let it be okay, this side, the big belly like a water tank bulged out, and suddenly the door frame took up eight to nine out of ten. The two men almost got stuck on the door.

The two of them didn't feel embarrassed, they each took a step back, smiled at each other, and bowed to each other. It is said that with Feng Dao's identity, there is no need to give way to Mo Li at all, but he only went out after letting Mo Li enter the door.

Mo Li sat down in front of Li Congjing, who had just picked up a book, and pointed out: "This Lord Feng is a little interesting. ”

Li Congjing glanced at the door where Feng Dao's back had disappeared, and chuckled: "You are right, he is almost the most interesting person in more than a hundred years. ”

The two made some plans for the next actions of the Military Intelligence Department, and now that Li Congjing's identity has been exposed, since he can hide his identity for so long, Abaoji and Yelu Deguang are not fools, so they will naturally thoroughly investigate Tang Ting's spies in the West Building.

"The trading company should not move, and it will certainly not move. However, since it is the place where my envoys from the Tang Dynasty have stayed, as long as the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty have not completely torn their faces, Abaoji will not do anything to the people of the trading company on the surface. Li Congjing finally said.

Mo Li agreed and went down to make arrangements. As soon as he went out on his back foot, Yelu Min entered the door on his front foot. Just now she changed her clothes and blended in the crowd, and the angry Yelu Deguang didn't even notice her, she followed her all the way to the post house.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Li Congjing was surprised.

Yelumin looked around Li Congjing several times with a hippie smile, surprised and sighed, and finally reached out and pulled Li Congjing's official robe and squeezed his eyebrows and said: "I really didn't expect that you are so young that you are an envoy of the Tang Dynasty!" Bengong thinks that you are not a simple businessman, and sure enough, Bengong guessed! But when you were in the trading company, you were really majestic, and even Yelu Deguang didn't dare to do anything to you. "After that, you really have a kind of expression.

Li Congjing smiled secretly, thinking to himself, when did you see my identity? Pulling the hem of his clothes back from Yelu Min's hand, he said seriously: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you really don't plan to leave, do you?" ”

"What, you're still not happy?" Yelu Min raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "You are now an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, not a small businessman, even if my father knows, he will not treat you well." ”

Li Congjing was too lazy to mess with her, and finally dragged her out of the room, dragged her all the way down the stairs to the yard, and threw her on the carriage, so that people could send her back. After the carriage started, Yelu Min also poked his little head out of the window, gritted his teeth and threatened: "Dare to abandon this palace like this, you wait, this palace wants you to look good sooner or later!" ”

Li Congjing's face darkened, and he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Go back and learn Chinese hard!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Congjing and Feng Dao led the Tang envoys and accepted Abaoji's summons in the palace of the West Building.

Abaoji did not give Li Congjing a horse in the court, but talked to him for a long time like a drizzle, and finally recounted the deep-rooted "friendship" between the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty in righteous words, expressed his good expectations for the long-term peace between the two countries, and set up a banquet to entertain him.

At the banquet that night, Abaoji's attitude towards Li Congjing and others was unusually cordial, and even Yelu Deguang didn't come to trouble Li Congjing, but at the end of the banquet, Abaoji seemed to inadvertently mention that there were signs of rebellion in the two tribes of Huangtou and Stinkbo in the western grassland.

After the banquet, on the way back to the post house from the palace, Feng Dao touched his big belly, which was very happy today, and said to Li Congjing in a good way: "It seems that the current situation in the Khitan country is not very good. After all, after the general led the Hundred Battles Army to Youzhou, the Khitan people still couldn't help but be afraid, and today Abaoji treated us so politely, the reason seems to be here. ”

Li Congjing glanced at Feng Dao, whose face was full of red light, and seemed to be still immersed in the delicious taste of the dinner party, and didn't say much, just said: "If that's the case, it's naturally the best." ”

After the palace dinner, Abaoji did not go back to the palace to rest, but summoned Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei to discuss in the imperial study.

"Tang Envoy, both of you have met today, how should the Khitan treat Tang Ting and Tang Envoy, both of you will share your opinions." Abaoji sat behind the imperial case, leaned on the tiger fur mink fur, rubbed his eyebrows and said.

Yerod didn't speak for a long time, which made Yerod look at him curiously. This guy would never have cared about his identity as a prince before, but whenever Abaoji asked, Yelu Deguang would say something, but he wouldn't wait for him, the prince, to say something. But today Jerod does not seem to be in a hurry to express his opinion.

Yelu Deguang didn't speak, Yelu Bei couldn't be stunned, he said tentatively: "At present, the two rebellions of Huangtou and Stinkbo, and if our army wants to pacify, we have to guard against the Tang army from behind, after all, the Tang army gathered on the front line of Gubeikou for no reason a few days ago, and it is not a good sign." At present, since the Tang court has the intention of reconciling with the Khitan, and we also need a temporary and stable environment, Erchen feels that he should promise the Tang envoy to temporarily reconcile with the Tang court. ”

Abaoji didn't speak, and Yelu Deguang sneered: "Big brother is really good-tempered!" That Li Congjing was an envoy, and he didn't go on the right path, and sneaked into the West Building to hide for so long in advance, if I hadn't led the troops there, I don't know when he would have identified himself. It is clearly sinister and sinister and plotting against the Great Khitan Kingdom! How can such a villain be let go? Tang Ting said that it would be repaired on the surface, but secretly he sent troops to the border, not only that, but also sent cavalry to attack the grassland, and successively plagued many tribes of our Great Khitan, which was clearly the ambition of the wolf! How can such a country of tigers and wolves be repaired so easily? ”

After that, he said to Abaoji: "Please ask my father to kill Li Congjing, and his sons will lead the army to exterminate the incoming Tang army!" ”

Jerebe was a little surprised by Yeludeguang's remarks, if so, then how could the yellow-headed, stinking rebellion be quelled? If you provoke Tang Ting, when the time comes, you will be attacked on both sides, won't you be in danger?

"Father, the sons and daughters think that this matter is inappropriate, at this time, it is important to stabilize the internal situation, and treat the Tang envoy and the Tang court with the overall situation, and never act rashly! After the rebellion of the two tribes of Huangtou and Stinky Bo is quelled, it is not too late to free up his hands to deal with Tang Ting again! Jerubi argued.

Yelu Deguang shook his hand and snorted coldly: "Horseman's opinion! ”

Yelubei suddenly blushed and reddened, "You ......"

"Okay, no more fighting!" Abaoji scolded loudly, looked at Yelubei and said: "According to your meaning, it is the disaster of the Tang Army's entry, and the crime of killing my Khitan people is bearable?" Li Congjing offended the Khitan State and connived for misdeeds? ”

"Father, this ......" Yelubei didn't expect Abaoji to speak like this, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

Abaoji snorted coldly, "Li Congjing, a milky kid, dares to be so presumptuous in the Khitan, and the two or three thousand cavalry of the Tang Army dare to invade the grassland and challenge the majesty of the Great Khitan, such a thing has never happened since Abaoji established the Great Khitan State!" Is it tolerable or unbearable! What if there is a yellow-headed and stinking rebellion? Jerebe, can't you pacify them? ”

"This, the two crimes of Huangtou and Stinky Bo cannot be punished, if the father and emperor let his sons lead the troops to the battle, the name is justified, and he will definitely be captured! However...... "Yelubei also wants to persuade Abaoji to calmly seek the country."

"Good!" Abaoji didn't give Yelubei a chance to speak again, and his eyes fell heavily on him, "I will order you to lead the army to quell the rebellion of Huangtou and Stinkboy!" You've been fighting with me for years, and I hope you won't disappoint me! ”

Speaking of which, Yelubei naturally had no reason to refuse, so he could only accept the order, but he still couldn't help but say: "Then how does the Tang Army deal with it?" ”

"Big brother, just deal with the two departments of Huangtou and Stinky Bo, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Tang Army will be handed over to me!" Yelubei said proudly, and then snorted coldly, "Last time, I asked Tang Jun to succeed in a sneak attack at Hulukou, and this time I want to get back even the profits!" ”

Yelubei opened his mouth, paused, and still asked, "Father, do you really want to capture and kill the Tang envoy and break with the Tang court?" ”

"Why not?" Abao asked as a matter of course.

"Killing the Tang envoy and breaking with the Tang court are two different things!" But Yelude said coldly: "Doesn't the eldest brother think that killing people doesn't have to be done by himself?" Besides, it is Li Congjing who we want to kill, and the others can still stay. Isn't the eldest brother going to pacify the yellow-headed and stinking tribes this time? If the Tang envoy asked to watch the battle with the army and help our army might, then it would not be surprising that Li Congjing accidentally died at the hands of the yellow-headed and stinky rebels! In this way, Tang Ting only died an envoy due to an 'accident', as long as the sincerity of the Great Khitan Kingdom is enough, is Li Yazi really determined to break with the Khitan? ”

Yelubei raised his head suddenly, and let out a cold sweat!

He was about to refute, but when he saw Abaoji's sharp gaze, his throat moved, and he swallowed back the next words with interest. He finally struggled: "But Li Congjing is not a stupid person, he will not necessarily ask to watch the battle with the army......"

Abaoji sneered: "If I ask him to ask to be with the army, he will definitely ask!" Is this still too much for him to refuse?! ”

Jerube's face turned pale, and he finally knew that everything was settled, and there was nothing he could do.

Abaoji walked out from behind the imperial case, his face became kind, he patted Yelubei on the shoulder, and gently encouraged: "Li Congjing is not a simple character, with him and the Hundred Battles Army eyeing the grassland in Youzhou, it is a big threat to the grassland. Only when he is dead, no matter how powerful the Hundred Battles Army is, it is just a headless snake, and there is nothing to be afraid of, and the border can be worry-free. This is a heavy burden, and it is also a great plan related to the long-term stability of the Khitan, I let Li Congjing go west with you, let you do this, don't let me down! ”

Jerube bowed and said, "Yes...... Father, rest assured. ”

After coming out of the palace, Jerubi stood outside the palace gate, looked up at the deep night sky, his heart was so heavy, he looked as if he had lost his soul, and he looked extremely lonely. And he seemed to hear that his heart was broken, and the hot blood was dripping little by little, dripping and cooling on the cold bluestone slab.

"Let me kill Li Congjing...... Oh, Father, you and Yerod think I'm stupid, we both think I'm dull, we both think I can't see what's going on, can't I really see it? When you sing and harmonize today, aren't you just playing a trick on me? I killed Li Congjing, and if the Tang court is angry in the future, it will also be vented on my head, even if the Tang army goes north, the knife will also be aimed at me...... Father, it's also your son, why are you so biased?! ”

"Why !! this?"
