Chapter 129: The Imperial Hall of the Liao Kingdom
It was not unusual for the two of them to not expect it, those guards did know that if these two had revealed their identities earlier, this one would not have to fight at all.
The fight just now was not only Chen Yuan scared, but what he was most afraid of was actually the four of them. If one of them was not well protected at that time, and one of the two siblings was injured, the fate of all four would be in danger.
They didn't dare to take the initiative to reveal the identity of the princess, and if the princess was to blame, they couldn't afford to be guilty. With Chen Yuan coming out to show his identity, when the matter is over, everyone is naturally happy.
However, they didn't have the courage to take Yelu Hongji and Yelu Ling around the street again, so after leaving the casino, the four of them began to persuade Yelu Ling to go back to the palace very tactfully.
Yelu Lingling is nothing, she has been on the battlefield, and the fight just now is a small scene in her eyes.
But Yelu Hongji was extremely excited, and what satisfied him the most was that the waist card on their waists, which they usually didn't care about, actually had such a big effect.
They returned to the palace, Chen Yuan naturally went back to the inn, it was already dark, when Chen Yuan entered the "first house", the guy was much more enthusiastic than usual: "Oh, Lord Chen, are you back?" ”
When Chen Yuan heard the change in his title, he immediately smiled and said, "What are you shouting?" I'm not an official yet. ”
The guy laughed: "Isn't that a matter of time?" Master Chen, have you eaten it? I asked the kitchen to give you a bowl of noodles? ”
Chen Yuan sat down in the lobby and nodded when he heard the words: "That's good!" ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Pang Xi, Pang Xi!" ”
Pang Xi came out of the room: "It's here!" ”
Chen Yuan said: "How are you doing today?" Have you delivered the goods? ”
Pang Xi said as he walked down: "It's over, Xiao Suli settled half of the money, and the other half said that he asked you to get it in person." Shopkeeper, do you think we can't collect this wool? ”
Chen Yuan knocked on the table: "Of course I accepted it!" This is the early winter, and the wool is collected and shipped back, just in time to catch up with the cold weather. ”
Pang Xi came to the table and sat down as he spoke, and the voices of the two people gradually became quieter, and Pang Xi said, "It's done." ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "It's going well for me there, there will definitely be a fight in the court of Liao tomorrow, but it's a pity that we can't find the right person to speak for us, and we missed a good opportunity." Is that Xiao Suli really unwilling to help us introduce the queen? ”
Pang Xi shook his head: "Don't even think about it, before I mentioned it to him, he got angry and said that if it's okay to do business, if we want to do something else, don't bring him with you." That path is not going to work, how about you go and find Yelu Gollum? He can also say two words in the court. ”
Chen Yuan lowered his head: "Damn, Lu Xiangguo and Taishi Pang pointed us to a dead end, and these two old men played us." Now we can't take the initiative to go to Jerman Gollum, that will only make him suspicious of us. ”
Pang Xi sighed deeply: "Do you know what this feels like? Just like our martial arts practitioners, we have obviously beaten the opponent down, but we can only watch the opponent stand up again, and there is nothing we can do. ”
Chen Yuan snorted: "Don't worry, walk slowly, step by step." By the way, no one recognizes your identity, right? What will Song Qi do after he comes back? ”
Pang Xi shook his head: "I didn't recognize me, then Song Qi has been hiding in the room since he came back, and sent a copy to the emperor of Liao, and then it seems that he is also planning how to seize this opportunity." ”
Chen Yuan's noodles came up, he immediately picked up the bowl and ate two bites, and only after the little two walked away did he whisper again: "I always feel as if I have neglected something, and I can't remember it for a while." ”
Pang Xi leaned his head closer: "You are now thinking about how to get from the position of accompanying the reader to the court of the Liao Kingdom as quickly as possible." If there's something out there, you tell me and I'll do it for you. ”
Chen Yuan nodded, and then said, "Okay, you go up, don't sit next to me for too long, it will make people suspicious." ”
Pang Xi got up to leave, and Chen Yuan finished the bowl of noodles while thinking about things, and then went upstairs.
His mind had been thinking about this all night, and Chen Yuan always felt as if he had overlooked something. I combed through my thoughts, but I didn't find an answer.
Early the next morning, when Chen Yuan rushed to the palace to accompany Yelu Hongji to study, he found that Yelu Hongji had changed slightly from yesterday, and he actually smiled at himself, but there was still so silence in those eyes, and there was no aura that a child should have when he left the palace yesterday.
To be honest, it is really a very boring errand to study with him, and today's teacher is Hou Hao. Hou Hao's full name is Yelu Hou Xu, this name may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, because this is his name changed after he abandoned martial arts in the later period, his real name is Yelu Tujin, and he is a famous general in Liao.
Hou Mi's task was to give Yelu Hongji some experience in warfare, but although he did not agree with Yelu Hanba in terms of political stance, his attitude towards Yelu Hongji was indeed the same.
Chen Yuan knew that he might have to read by himself all morning today. But at least it's better than yesterday.,The other three accompaniments are also here.,If you're tired, you can be vague.。
When the class was over, Chen Yuan planned to go to Yelu Lingling again, and pass some news to Yelu Gollum through her mouth, so that Yelu Gollum could come to him again. Now, the preliminary foreshadowing has been done, and I must hurry up to get into the role.
Lang Lang's reading voice was interrupted by the sharp voice of Manager Liang, everyone looked up busily, Hou turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Manager Liang said very humbly: "Lord Wang, the emperor issued an order in the court to let Chen Shimei go to the court to drive. ”
Hou Sheng snorted: "Chen Shimei, go quickly." ”
Chen Yuan got up, with a little suspicion and a little apprehension, he went with Manager Liang, he didn't know what Liao Xingzong was looking for him, didn't he know about the fight last night? This is also impossible, if it is a fight, there is no need for Liao Xingzong to let himself go to the court, just call two guards to come if he wants to deal with it.
Unable to guess what to do, Chen Yuan could only ask for help from the chief manager: "Dare to ask the chief manager, I don't know what the emperor has summoned me to?" ”
Manager Liang didn't answer: "You'll know when you go." ”
This sentence made Chen Yuan a little worried. It wasn't until he entered the court of Daliao to discuss state affairs that he saw some tense ministers on both sides of the two sides, and Chen Yuan didn't understand why he came here.
"Knock on the emperor!" The construction of the imperial palace of the Liao State was all modeled after the palace pattern of the Great Song Dynasty, and even some of the rituals were roughly the same. You only need to bow once, and there is no Manchu rule of three kneeling and nine bowing.
Liao Xingzong sat on the top of the main hall and asked softly: "You are Chen Shimei?" ”
Chen Yuan raised his head, this was the first time he had seen Liao Xingzong, and it was also the first time he had come into contact with a real emperor so closely.
"Exactly."
Liao Xingzong looked him up and down, and then asked, "On the way to Yanjing, are you walking with the Ninth Prince?" ”
Chen Yuan replied very simply: "Yes, after meeting the Ninth Prince in Datong, they went north together." ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked at Jermane, who was standing beside him, and Jermane smiled softly at him, not giving him any hint.
Next to Yelune's grunt, there was also a young man standing, whose face was a little familiar, but Chen Yuan couldn't remember it for a while.
Liao Xingzong immediately asked: "Then let me ask you, Yelu Shubao said that the Ninth Prince cooperated with the Han army in Wentong, which caused our plan to attack Wentong to fail, and three thousand warriors died, but is there such a thing?" ”
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered that the young face was the person he had let go of in the valley, and he thought that he was Yelu Shubao. I couldn't help but secretly think that this good person really couldn't do it, and I was soft-hearted for a while, thinking that this was just a small minion, who would have thought that he would let go of a big fish. Now he was still counting on Jerman Gollum to help him, but as a result, other people's troubles came.
I don't know if Yelu Shubao still remembers himself, but if he told Yelu Gollu that he had spared him in the valley, it would have been too troublesome.
Turning his head to look at Jermane Gollum, hoping that he would give him a hint. But Jerune's grunting face was expressionless, and he looked up at the front, full of confidence.
Chen Yuan knew that he couldn't hesitate for too long, and after not getting a hint, he said the truth: "Yes, but the situation is ......."
As soon as the "yes," exited, another person immediately came out of the crowd: "Your Majesty!" Although the ninth prince is a royal prince, he colluded with the Song soldiers to kill the warriors of our Liao country, and his crime is unforgivable! I hope that the emperor will make a clear judgment and give justice to the three thousand heroic souls who died of death! ”
Before Liao Xingzong could speak, another person immediately stood up again: "What? The king of the North Courtyard didn't even have the patience to listen to Chen Shimei's words? Chen Shimei, you go on, but how? ”
Of course, Chen Yuan would not speak now, and raised his head to look at Liao Xingzong. Liao Xingzong waved his hand: "You said that you would find someone to testify, and I will call someone here, Brother Renxian, why don't you wait for him to finish speaking?" ”
Yeluren took a deep breath and took a step back.
Chen Yuan said at this time: "The situation is very critical, the ninth prince has been caught by Qi Wen, the guard of the Song Dynasty, and his life is on the verge of death. Later, when Na Di Qing and others found the ninth prince and wanted to kill Qi Wen with the ninth prince, in order to get out, the ninth prince agreed. As for the details, I don't know very well. ”
Of course, the details can't be said all, because Chen Yuan is just a businessman, if he tells all the details, unless these people are fools, he will die.
Yelu Gollum was obviously very satisfied with Chen Yuan's answer, and the hand behind his back quietly gave a thumbs up.
