Yang Yanqi's body trembled slightly, and her face was as red as a peach blossom.

Shi Wei hugged the soft waist, and wanted to make further affection.

At this time, there was a sudden rumor outside the door: "Eighth sister, are you inside?" ”

It was Yang Yanzhao's voice.

"Oh no, it's the sixth brother." Yang Yanqi was taken aback, pushed Shi Wei away, and jumped up violently.

While combing her clothes, she adjusted her emotions and tried her best to calm the surging tide.

After taking a deep breath and pulling the door open, she was already indifferent.

"Eighth sister, you are really in Lord Shi's room." Yang Yanzhao looked a little surprised.

Before Yang Yanqi could speak, Shi Wei came over from behind and said with a smile: "Miss Yang knows that I haven't eaten, so she came to bring me some wine and food." ”

Yang Yanzhao let out an "oh", and his suspicious expression was slightly relieved.

Shi Wei stood behind Yang Yanqi, the half-open door blocked half of his body, and when Yang Yanzhao's vision was blocked, he rubbed Yang Yanqi's buttocks with bad intentions.

How did Yang Yanqi know that he would be so bold, daring to "light" himself in front of his brother, he was so ashamed that he was flustered.

She secretly glared at Shi Wei, but Shi Wei pretended not to know, and asked Yang Yanzhao seriously about whether the rest of the mission was settled.

Yang Yanzhao never imagined that his sister-in-law was close at hand, and she was being "insulted".

He didn't notice it at all, but reported his work to Shi Wei very seriously.

Yang Yanqi was embarrassed and embarrassed, but she didn't dare to move a little, for fear that her brother would see the traces of spiders and worms, and then she would be embarrassed.

After enduring it for a while, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled Yan Zhao and walked out, "Sixth brother, let's go and inspect the courtyards everywhere to see if it's safe, this is the territory of the Liao people, I'm afraid ......"

Yang Yanqi withdrew herself from the embarrassment with a reasonable excuse, she moved extremely fast and pretended to be calm, which did not make Yanzhao suspicious.

Shi Wei stood at the door and waved goodbye to her with a smile.

Yang Yanqi secretly turned around and glared at him fiercely to show dissatisfaction.

Shi Wei still had a wicked smile on his face, not impressed at all.

……

The ** turmoil in the hall was no longer known except for Yang Yanqi and the party Yelu Siyun.

After staying in Zhuozhou City for a night, the next day, more than 300 people from the mission marched to Youzhou again.

It is said that after the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty last year, the spirit of the Liao Emperor Yeluxian was hit, and his already weak body was worse than in the past.

Most of the territory of the Liao State is located in the bitter cold land of Saibei, and the Liao Emperor has spent most of his time in Youzhou, where the climate is relatively milder, in order to nourish his body.

After arriving in Liao, Shi Wei and his entourage were ceremoniously welcomed by the Liao.

On the one hand, it was afraid of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, the Liao court had heard about Shi Wei's purpose of coming, which was related to the major affairs of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Liao State did not dare to treat Shi Wei slowly.

After stationing in Youzhou, staying in the most exquisite pavilion, and enjoying three days of luxurious food and wine, Shi Wei was finally personally received by Emperor Liao at nearly noon.

Accompanied by several Liao ministers, Shi Wei calmly entered the Liao Palace in Nanjing.

In the palace, the banquet has been set up, the dance and music are ready, the atmosphere is very relaxed, it seems that the Liao State intends to use this light meeting to ease the tension between the Liao and Song dynasties in recent years.

The Liao Emperor Ye Luxian on the throne was still depressed, and his body was obviously much weaker than when Shi Wei first met him a few years ago.

Shi Wei only glanced at him, and his gaze quickly shifted to Xiao Xuan beside him.

The queen of the Great Liao Kingdom, the woman with whom she had several fish and water loves, at this moment, was looking at him calmly with a majestic but gentle gaze.

From Xiao Xuan's gaze, Shi Wei vaguely saw some hints, as if she was secretly sending autumn waves to herself.

Shi Wei's mind fluttered slightly, but his attention quickly moved down from Xiao Xuan's face.

He looked at the bulging belly that could not be concealed under the brocade robe.

Roughly calculated, nearly half a year has passed since the difference last year, and with the time of his first mission, Xiao Sui should also be on the verge of giving birth.

The doctor's intuition told Shi Wei that the child in Xiao Xuan's belly must be his own flesh and blood.

Shi Wei secretly glanced at Xiao Xuan, trying to find a positive answer in her eyes.

It's just that this Queen of Da Liao is as calm as a jade carving, and all her expressions remain unchanged, so that Shi Wei can't peek into what she is thinking in her heart.

The temptation was fruitless, Shi Wei had to rest assured in advance, after all, he was still carrying the trust given to him by Zhao Kuangyin.

At that moment, Shi Wei took a deep breath and responded to Ye Luxian's intermittent questioning without humility or arrogance.

After a few polite words, Shi Wei presented the national letter written by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The waiter handed over the national letter, and Shi Weici sat at the table, eating wine and tasting food, while quietly observing the changes in Ye Luxian's expression.

When Ye Luxian read the national book slowly, his originally sluggish face couldn't help but swell with a little divine light.

The expression was neither shocked nor angry, but a hesitation.

Speaking from the heart, Zhao Kuangyin's letter this time is much milder in wording and attitude than the letter of the last expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangyin expressed his expectation of friendship between the two countries in his letter of state, and on the issue of the 16 states of Yanyun, he only said that he was willing to redeem the land of the 16 states with a huge amount of money, hoping that the Liao State would be able to take the friendship between the two countries as the idea and return the old land belonging to the Central Plains of China.

Compared with the last aggressiveness, this letter is indeed much milder.

However, discerning people can see that this seemingly mild attitude of the national letter is essentially no different from the last time.

Zhao Kuangyin has made a euphemistic hint in the national letter: If you know each other, you will sell the land to collect money, give each other face, let's continue to be good neighbors, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning my face and not recognizing people.

"Ahem, ahem—"

Yeluxian coughed again, as if he was thinking too much, and the mental pressure caused his body to start feeling uncomfortable.

Xiao Xuan, who was next to him, hurriedly called the waiter to bring a soothing soup and gave Ye Luxian a whole bowl to drink, and the cough of the sick emperor stopped slightly.

Ye Luxian, who had calmed down, handed the national letter to Xiao Xuan beside him, and gasped: "Yanyan, take a look." ”

Xiao Xuan took the national letter and looked at it carefully, and muttered: "It turns out that the son of the Zhao family is going to drive us away." ”

There was obvious irony in Xiao Xuan's words.

Shi Wei arched his hand and said: "Niangniang misunderstood, His Majesty the Emperor of my dynasty has made it very clear in the letter of state, and it is very clear that the sixteen states of Yanyun will be redeemed at a reasonable price, so that your state will not suffer, and our dynasty will also smoothly recover the homeland of the Central Plains, which is a win-win situation." ”

"It's a win-win situation, the stone envoy is really good at talking." Xiao Xuan sneered.

Shi Wei smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." My emperor's good intentions, the lower officials have already brought, Your Majesty and Niangniang may wish to think about it, if you think it is feasible, we will slowly negotiate the price. ”

Xiao Xuan waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty and the Empress Ben will consider your Emperor's suggestion carefully. It is rare for the stone envoy to revisit the old place, and now we will not talk about state affairs. ”

After that, Shi Wei served good wine again, and ordered singing and dancing to enjoy the fun.

The stakes are very high, and Shi Wei knew that the Liao people would not make a decision in a moment, so he was not in a hurry to get an answer, but only relaxed and enjoyed this fine wine and dance.

In the blink of an eye, most of the hour passed, and Shi Wei was also drunk, so he got up and left.

Xiao Sui asked someone to send him back to the pavilion, and instructed him to go down and treat Shi Wei with the highest treatment, and not to neglect him a little.

As soon as Shi Wei was sent away on the front foot, Xiao Sui ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and except for a few important ministers, the other ministers all retreated.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Ye Luxian, and Ye Luxian waved his hand slightly, signaling that she should only preside over the overall situation on her behalf.

Ye Xiaoxuan held his big belly and said to the ministers below: "Ladies and gentlemen, Emperor Song wants to redeem the sixteen states of Yanyun with money, what do you think?" ”

The relationship between the Liao monarchs and ministers is relatively simple, and there are not so many rules, as soon as Xiao Sui asked, the ministers below expressed their opinions.

Some people think that the sixteen states of Yanyun were originally the land of the Han family, and it is okay to sell them to the Song State, and they can also take the opportunity to harvest a huge amount of money, just to alleviate the domestic money shortage.

Where there is pro, there is naturally opposition.

A group of military generals led by Yelu Huge believed that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were a nail in the Liao State penetrating into the Han Dynasty, and a springboard for the Great Liao Iron Cavalry to enter the Central Plains, and they must not be abandoned lightly because they were greedy for money.

The ministers had their own opinions, and no one obeyed anyone, and after a while, there was a quarrel in the palace.

Ye Luxian's face became more and more ugly, and the gasp that had been calm down gradually became heavier again.

"Ahem, Yanyan—" Ye Luxian spat and beckoned to Xiao Xuan.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly ordered the waiter to get the decoction.

The ministers under the imperial hierarchy were still arguing, and the emperor, who had completely ignored them, was in a state of distress.

Seeing the endless quarrel below, Xiao Xuan also frowned.

His eyes flashed suddenly, and Xiao Xuan covered his stomach and hummed.

She hummed at this, and the ministers below immediately fell silent.

Ye Luxian was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Xuan snorted: "Maybe I'm a little tired, and I moved my tire a little." ”

Ye Luxian didn't say a word, and hurriedly ordered the meeting to be dismissed, where can he care about discussing the issue of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

The ministers who were arguing hotly had to retreat.

Ye Luxian himself was coughing, so Xiao Xuan said that he was fine, just rest, and asked Ye Luxian to go back to the palace to rest first.

As soon as Ye Luxian left with his front foot, Xiao Xuan said to his henchman and maidservant with his back foot: "I heard that those Song envoys Shi Wei know some medical skills, so you can go and invite him again, just to show Ben Hou his body." ”
