Zhou Ping took a sip of the wine in the cup, Zhao Zong and Xiao Huaidan on the side were arguing about the texture of one jade pendant, while Guo Yaoshi was persuading another embassy official to drink, while quietly asking about something. Zhou Ping couldn't help but sigh: "Compared to this Pharmacist Guo, a few teammates on my side are just pigs!" ”

Zhou Ping was secretly sighing, a general suddenly walked in outside, whispered a few words in Guo Yaoshi's ear, Guo Yaoshi's face changed slightly, got up and told everyone about the crime, and walked out quickly, and when he came back in a few minutes later, although Guo Yaoshi still had a smile on his face, Zhou Ping still felt a subtle change in the other party's demeanor.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo?" Zhou Ping pretended to be a little drunk, reached out and grabbed Pharmacist Guo's arm, and said with a smile: "Why is it gone, a certain family can't find anyone to drink with you, and they will definitely be punished for drinking!" While speaking, Zhou Ping stumbled and spilled the wine in his hand on the other party's body.

"Oops!"

Zhou Ping keenly observed that for a moment, a wave of anger appeared on Pharmacist Guo's face, and then the anger was already covered by a helpless smile.

"Okay, okay, a certain family is punished for drinking, but Vice President Zhou has to let me go too!"

Zhou Ping grabbed the other party and shouted: "If you want to punish wine, you will be fined a can, and if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" ”

"It's too unusual, Li Bao, quickly help Deputy Envoy Zhou back!" Zhao Zong on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and shouted at Li Bao who was standing on the side. Li Bao responded, and finally ripped Zhou Ping away from Pharmacist Guo. Half-supported and half-backed Zhou Ping back to his residence, as soon as he entered the door, Zhou Ping broke away from Li Bao's hand and stood up straight, with a little drunkenness on his face. Li Bao looked at Zhou Ping in surprise and asked, "General, you're not drunk!" “

"Of course I'm not drunk, you invite the Supreme Zen Master quickly, I have something important to discuss with him!" Zhou Ping said in a low voice: "Remember, don't let outsiders see it!" ”

"Whoa!" Li Bao responded. After half a cup of tea. The best monk tiptoed into the door, Zhou Ping made a gesture and said in a low voice: "Zen master, please take a seat!" ”

"Juncheng, what's the matter?"

Zhou Ping described Fang Cai's situation. He said in a low voice: "I think this Pharmacist Guo has had a subtle change in his attitude after getting the news. I'm afraid that this news is very unfavorable to my Da Song! ”

"Hmm!" Zhishan nodded: "Listen to what you say." I'm afraid that Pharmacist Guo is not a good person! ”

"From the pile of bones in Liaodong, how can there be a good match, but at the moment the general trend is mine. As long as you hold the joint, you are not afraid of him turning the sky! Zhou Ping said in a low voice.

"Hmm!" The two discussed for a while, but they didn't find any clue, and Zhishan took his leave. Zhou Ping had just returned to the bed, when there were suddenly two gentle knocks on the door outside.

"Who?" Zhou Ping asked, his right hand already holding down the saber that came to the head of the bed.

"It's me!" Listening to the voice, it was Luo She'er, Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you have anything to say, come in and say it!" ”

Luo She'er answered, pushed the door in, Zhou Ping saw that the other party's eyes were red, but it seemed that he had just cried bitterly, he couldn't help but be surprised, and was about to ask, Luo She'er suddenly fell to the ground, kowtowed three times and said: "Lang Jun, She'er is here to bid you farewell!" ”

"Resignation?" Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where did you start here, what happened!" ”

Luo She'er gritted her teeth, raised her head and replied, "Lang Jun asked me about my origin before, and I only said that I was a child of the resentful army, and my surname was Luo. But he didn't say that my father's surname was Luo Mingqinghan, but he was a general under Dong Xiaoqiu, the leader of the resentful army, in the first year of Baoda, Dong clown was killed by the Liao, my father led the troops to lead the resentful army to rise up, and the Liao people Xiao Gan and Yelu Yu led the troops to suppress it. That Pharmacist Guo actually killed my father and accepted the recruitment of the Liao people. This Pharmacist Guo is my father's killer! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ping understood why Luo She'er was so out of shape when he entered the city today, he thought about it for a while, and asked, "She'er, have you ever missed a trace today and been recognized by that Guo Yaoshi's subordinates?" ”

"Probably not, my description has changed a lot in the past few years, and I shouldn't be recognized by it!"

"Hmm!" Zhou Ping nodded, secretly wondering if Pharmacist Guo should have lost his temper because of this incident, but after thinking about it carefully, Luo She'er was just an entourage under his own command, if he led the Changsheng army to join the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty would definitely give high-ranking officials Houlu at this critical juncture, how could he embarrass him for the retinue of an intermediate military attaché? It should be something more important. Zhou Ping thought about it for a moment and asked, "Then what do you want to do next after you leave me?" Revenge on Pharmacist Guo? ”

Luo Sheer was silent, but his tense face had already given Zhou Ping the answer. Zhou Ping sighed, made a gesture for the other party to sit down, and said, "The hatred of killing my father is not shared, and I am not qualified to stop you." But Guo Yaoshi is now the commander of the Changsheng Army, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and they are guarded by men and horses when they enter and exit. What can you do if you are alone, even if your skills are ten times greater? ”

"It's just fighting for his life, even if he doesn't succeed, he will be splashed with blood, knowing that Luo Qinghan also has a son alive!"

"Huh!" Zhou Ping smiled: "What's the benefit of that?" He Guo Yaoshi has a heavy army today, but tomorrow may not be, you are still young, and it is not too late for your husband to take revenge for ten years, even if you wait for another ten years, it will only be twenty-six or seven. Ten years ago, would you have thought that Yelu Yanxi would have fallen into such a field as it is today? ”

"Hmm!" Luo She'er nodded, was persuaded by Zhou Ping, and suddenly patted his head, and said: "Speaking of Yelu Yanxi, I just heard a few fur merchants from the north in the wine shop outside the mansion saying that the emperor of the Liao State has borrowed troops from Zhurong in the northwest, and has entered Xijing with 100,000 horsemen, and is going to fight back!" ”

"What?" Zhou Ping's face changed greatly, he grabbed Luo She'er's arm, and said sharply: "You really heard it right?" ”

"Nope!" Luo She'er nodded firmly: "Many people are saying that it has spread all over the city, if you don't believe it, send someone out to inquire again!" ”

Zhou Ping didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent Li Bao, Li Cheng and others out to inquire, and after about half a cup of tea, several people came back. Although there are some differences in the details, the general content is the same. Originally, it was rumored that Emperor Liao Tianzuo, who was evading the pursuit of the Jin people in Jiashan in Mobei, had borrowed 100,000 cavalry from Zhurong in the northwest to kill him.

"You guys go down first, let me be alone!" Zhou Ping asked everyone to step back and sit back on the couch alone. Based on the information that Zhou Ping has now, it is difficult to distinguish the truth of this news. Because although the Liao State has been defeated repeatedly against the Jin people, after all, it has been founded for more than 200 years, and its territory is extremely vast. Now Emperor Liao Tianzuo is hiding in the Jiashan area with complex terrain, if he takes out the wealth or other benefits accumulated by the Liao people over the centuries as bait. Recruit warriors from these tribes. It's not impossible to get together a hundred thousand rides. Moreover, there are no fortresses and checkpoints on the grassland to defend, and the two armies are completely field battles, and the defeated side is often defeated in a battle, and it is difficult to have a chance to turn over and rise again. Don't look at the Jinren's previous winning streak. If you lose the First World War, it is not impossible to spit out all the food you have eaten in front of you.

"Is this true or false?" Zhou Ping said to himself: "If it's true." Then the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty is about to hit hard stubble. I'm afraid I'm going to suffer a big loss. No, maybe they won't even dare to send troops; What if it's fake? That's just delaying time, after all, more than 100,000 rides is not a small number. This kind of thing can't be hidden for long, it's just to buy time! Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's eyes lit up, as if he felt something in the dark. He pushed the door and shouted, "Is She'er there?" ”

"What is the matter with Lang Jun calling the villain?" It was night when Rosher hurriedly ran over.

"Come in, I've got something to say to you!" Zhou Ping pulled Luo She'er in, recounted his speculation just now in a low voice, and said in a low voice: "If Yelu Yanxi really led 100,000 horsemen south, then it would naturally be all over." If not, then someone is deliberately spreading false news in an attempt to stall for time. You go to the northwest overnight to inquire about the news, and if there are really 100,000 horsemen going south, the further you go, the more detailed the news will be. You got the confirmation news, and then go to Yanjing to meet me, understand? ”

"The villain understands!"

"Also, the last time I came to Yanjing, I met a rebel army on the road, and the leader was called Zhang Guanyu. This person has the intention of surrendering, and you also inquire about the news of this person's department on the way, and if you meet, you will say that the person who received his blood letter on the way greets him, understand? ”

"Got it!"

"Okay, pack your things quickly and go out of town with us tomorrow morning!"

"Whoa!"

Yanjing, Yelu Dashi Mansion, study.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe, this later led his people to migrate to the Western Regions and established the "Ju'er Khan" known as "Western Liao", but he was still trying to think about how to make the small court in Yanjing survive this great storm. There is no doubt that the great deeds he later established had a great influence on later historians, so much so that his status was raised as much as possible, but in fact, Yelu Dashi was only one of the many Khitan nobles in Yanjing City at this time, and his status was far lower than that of Xiao Gan, who was the privy council of the Zhibei Yuan and the commander of all armies, and in many cases he exerted his influence through his close personal relationship with Xiao Gan.

"Lang Jun, the cover is back!" A voice came from outside, and a nervous look flashed on Yelu Dashi's face, and it disappeared immediately.

"Come in and sit down and talk!"

"Yes!" A man in his forties walked in, and it was not difficult to see the kind of greed and shrewdness peculiar to businessmen from his face, he saluted Yelu Dashi, and said with a smile: "According to Lang Jun's orders, the villain has already spread all the news, in order to prevent it from being discovered by others, I have spread it through six or seven channels, and I will never find the source of the news!" ”

"You're doing a great job!" Yelu Dashi stood up, personally poured a glass of wine for the other party, and said with a smile: "Come, take a sip of wine first, see that you have worked hard, this is the best wine transported from the Western Regions, but you can't drink it ordinarily!" ”

Shagan stood up flattered: "How can this be worthy, let Lang Jun pour the wine himself!" ”

"You have done this, don't say me, even my Khitan clan will thank you, what is there to be ashamed of!" Yelu Dashi smiled: "Drink this glass of wine, I still have something to say to you!" ”

Seeing that Yelu Dashi was sincere, he drank all the wine in the cup, only to feel that his mouth was full of sweetness, and it was really a good wine that he had never drunk. Jerodashi poured him another cup and persuaded him to finish it. Covering up two glasses of wine into his stomach, he was a little bolder, and asked with the intention of drinking: "The villain dares to ask Lang Jun, you let the villain say that the king of Xiangyin led 100,000 horses to the south, but this can't hide it for long, as long as you go to the northwest to see, why is this?" ”

"Huh!" Yelu Dashi said with a smile: "I have ordered to block the road to the northwest mountain pass, it should be possible to delay for some time, King Xiao has gone to the states in front of the mountain and behind the mountain to recruit troops, and when people can tell the truth of the news, King Xiao has already led the troops back, with him leading the army to guard, those repeated villains naturally dare not mess around!" ”

When Nasha Gan heard this, he understood Yelu Dashi's intentions, it turned out that the rumor that Emperor Zuo led 100,000 horsemen to the south that day came from Yelu Dashi, he knew that during the period when Xiao Gan went to the headquarters to recruit troops, the strength of the Khitans in Yanjing City was weakened, and if the Yandi Han people started an incident, he was afraid that the situation would change greatly, so he deliberately spread rumors, wanting to use the 100,000 iron horses of Emperor Tianzuo to scare those Hanchen with different ambitions for a while, and wait until Xiao Gan came back to make plans.

"Lang Jun actually trusts the villain so much!" Shagan couldn't help but be grateful, and swore to the sky: "If the villain leaks half of the words in the house tonight, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

"Well said, well said!" Yelu Dashi smiled: "Cover up, if there is anything unfinished in your family, you can tell me, and I will definitely do it for you!" ”

"What's unfinished at home?" After listening to this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then he understood the meaning of Yelu Dashi, and exclaimed: "There is -" in this wine.

"Hmm!" Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "You have done such a thing, naturally I can't let you go out alive, you can rest assured, I will definitely take care of your wife and children, so that they can live in peace for a lifetime!" ”

When he heard this, he felt as if there were dozens of knives stirring in his abdomen, and with a loud roar, he threw himself at the Jelu Dashi, who turned sideways, and Shagan threw a vase holder behind him to the ground, shattering it, and he twitched twice on the ground before he moved, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, dig a pit in the back garden, bury this person, and don't leak out tonight's affairs!" Yelu Dashi ordered in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" There was a sound of harmony outside.

Watching the servants clean up the corpses on the ground, Yelu Dashi did not speak, he turned around and walked to a pair of tablets, put his hands together and prayed: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, bless the great stone to be able to revive the ancestors' deeds, that is, after death, he will fall into the infernal hell, and he will not hesitate to live forever!"
