Zhang Li was at ease in the face of Yelu Neghu's compelling gaze. In the eyes of the two people www.biquge.info the murderous intent in Yelu Ne's eyes slowly faded away, and a very far-fetched smile appeared on his face: "Lord Zhang came back this time, is there a way to save Yelu Hongji?" ”

"If I say yes, dare to ask the Ninth Prince if he will let him come back?"

Jerine grunted, "Of course." It's just that I won't give him this throne. Lord Zhang should be aware of the current situation in Liao, and I am more suitable to sit in this position than Hong Ji. ”

Zhang Li took a deep breath, as if he was hesitating about something, and said after a while: "Can you let me meet the Queen Mother?" ”

Jerne grunted and shook her head slightly, "I don't think it's necessary for you to see her now. ”

Zhang Li knew that Yelu Gollum would reject him like this, and if he wanted to see Xiao Tatar, he had to have something to take.

"Don't hide it from the prince, this time I went to contact the Song people on the order of the Queen Mother. And it can be said that the old minister is worthy of his mission. I believe that if the prince also sends people, he will definitely not have the achievement of Lao Chen. ”

"What did the Song people promise you?"

What the Song people promised Zhang Li had nothing to do with Yelu Gollum. However, he wanted to know, because he could find out where the Song people's hole cards were, so that he could negotiate with the Song people.

Liao needs to negotiate, and it needs to loosen the situation a little bit through negotiations.

Zhang Li carried his head: "The prince may be mistaken, the old minister remembers his duty, it was the Queen Mother who asked me to go, and I will naturally return to the Queen Mother." ”

Yelu Ne said coldly: "I will tell you again, I am now the emperor, as long as I give an order, I will destroy you!" ”

Zhang Li was not afraid at all: "Nine princes, but please do it." ”

Yelune looked at Zhang Li for a long time, but in the end he didn't make a move. He finally took a few steps back and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll take you to her." ”

It wasn't until Yelune said this that a stone in Zhang Li's heart fell to the ground. Xiao Tatar, at least still alive. Now Zhang Li is suddenly worried about how Xiao Tatar is living, Yelune Gollum will not treat her like her own mother, suffering and humiliation is inevitable, the goddess who is high in Zhang Li's heart, can she accept the insults imposed on her by others?

Yelune grunted and moved out of the way: "Master Zhang, come with me." ”

Zhang Li walked down the street, the first time he had been allowed to go out on the street since he returned. He saw that the faces of those Khitan residents were basically gloomy.

Zhang Li didn't know that Yelu Gollu had already implemented rationing in the entire Liao country, even if this time Yelu Gollu brought back the news of victory, but when a person didn't know what he could eat tomorrow, any good news was meaningless.

The Liao residents living in Shangjing are quite happy, at least this is the place where Yelu Nigulu wants to focus on ensuring stability, although their lives have been seriously affected, after all, they can still receive a certain amount of food every day.

Most of the restaurants and inns are closed, not because no one buys them, but because there is nothing to sell.

The few restaurants that are still open are also supported by those big people, and the food inside is extremely expensive, and it is usually said that you can eat a decent banquet for 500 yuan, but you can't make a lot of money now, they ask for silver.

There are eight dishes at one table, two jars of wine, and fifty taels of silver. Ordinary people can only smell the smell outside the door, even those big households, now they have to save money, copper coins can be spent indiscriminately, but those silver, really have to be collected.

Most of these restaurants are now doing business from outsiders, and because of the war, customers are very scarce. Every boss basically has a bitter face, and every outsider who walks through the street will ignite their hopes, hoping that the other party will come in and stay in the hotel.

Including those Mongols who were annoyed when the Liao people saw it in the past, they are now also the god of wealth in their eyes.

When Zhang Li passed by a restaurant, he saw that there was only one table of guests sitting in a huge hall inside, and the guests at that table were still dressed as Song people, this scene really made him very sad, remembering that when Liao Xingzong was alive, Liao was the beginning of the reform, and at that time it was a tavern in a county town.

Liao Guo really has no chance, Zhang Li sighed deeply, these have nothing to do with him, he is powerless to turn the tide, he just wants to rescue Xiao Tatari and let her live happily.

There was also a person at the table who glanced back, and the person was holding a long sword at his waist, and at first glance it was a figure in the rivers and lakes of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Gollum didn't care, those knights of the Song Dynasty were like this, they were happy to take revenge, in order to repay their kindness, or revenge, there was no place in the world where they couldn't go.

These rivers and lakes of the Song Dynasty gathered together, presumably to find someone in Beijing to seek revenge, and the government generally doesn't care about such a thing, unless the other party reports the case, or the matter is big. And these Jianghu people are also very well-behaved, they are sought revenge, and they are killed without looking for the government. When killing, try to keep the movement as low as possible so as not to alarm others.

Yerune really didn't pay attention to them, just glanced at them and left. His eyes were very poisonous, and at a glance, he could be sure that there were no soldiers among these people, and there were no generals of the Song Dynasty.

He didn't care, but Liu Qing, who was sitting at the table, was really a little nervous.

After the Liao soldiers walked over, he let out a sigh: "Everyone, what do you say those five rats are looking for us?" Brother Ding, you have a good relationship with Bai Yutang, did he leak anything to you? ”

The surnamed Ding shook his head and said: "No, this time it was Brother Lu Fang who wrote to me, and the letter only said that the imperial court has something important to do, and asked us to come to Beijing to help, as for what it is, what do you want us to help with, the letter does not mention a word." ”

One next to him interjected: "Didn't you let us assassinate the emperor of Liao?" If this is the case, our brothers should work together to complete this errand, and we will definitely be able to win a name in history! ”

Liu Qing looked at the man: "That's right, but I think that this may not be a big surname." You also saw the Liao country's Yelu Ne grunt just now, it is said that he has been the first general of the Liao country, and his subordinates have a few pounds and two, when Nanxia Zhanzhao fought with him, Nanxia said, this guy is really difficult, if you want to assassinate him, it will not be so easy. ”

An old man with a very long beard and a very fat beard next to him, who looked rich and kind, said at this time: "Don't guess, you guys are here now to rest in peace, and when Bai Yutang and them come, they will naturally look for us. ”

"What Brother Ouyang said is exact, that little brother said goodbye first!" A slender man stood up, looking even respectful.

Brother Ouyang nodded: "Okay, remember to walk around often, and everyone will communicate with each other." ”

Another person stood up: "Brother Ouyang, Brother Shen and I are in an inn, if there is anything wrong with Big Brother, but please tell us, we will leave." ”

The horizontal flesh on Brother Ouyang's face trembled, and finally nodded: "Hmm." ”

The Ding brothers also stood up: "Big brother, let's go too." ”

Brother Ouyang's face was a little not good-looking, but in the end he still nodded: "Okay, you guys should go too." ”

Only Liu Qing was left sitting in his position, his eyes were looking at Ouyang Chun, and Ouyang Chun was also looking at him, neither of them spoke.

After a while, Liu Qing suddenly leaned in front of Ouyang Chun: "Brother Ouyang, brother will discuss things with you." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"You see that my brother left in a hurry when he came, there are not many plates on his body, and the things in Beijing are so expensive, and a simple meal costs more than a dozen taels of silver, which is really hateful! The brother's hand is empty, and he wants to tell the eldest brother for convenience. ”

Ouyang Chun's whole person was stunned, he was not convenient! When he came, he brought more than 1,000 taels of silver, but within a few days of arriving in Beijing, his efforts were gone. These boys came to me all day long, saying that they were reporting their situation, and they didn't leave after the report.

This banquet every day, a banquet is a few dozen taels of silver! He was still thinking about whether he could let the others settle the meal money today, but they walked quickly one by one. There was only one Liu Qing left, and he still asked himself to borrow money.

Ouyang Chun originally wanted to say that he wouldn't borrow it, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, brother will send it to you when you go back!" ”

As soon as he said that, he felt the beads of sweat on his head come out. Silver is nothing else, it's a hard commodity, there is something, there is nothing.

Liu Qing was overjoyed: "Thank you, brother." ”

After Liu Qing left, the innkeeper walked over with that unusually humble smile. The current inns in Shangjing are all trying to keep people, especially Ouyang Chun, a high-roller who not only stays, but also invites wine for every meal, and the store worships it like the God of Wealth.

"This uncle, today's wine and food have a total of seventy-eight taels of silver, if it is inconvenient for you, I can remember it for you first."

Ouyang Chun's mouth moved twice, he was really inconvenient, there was nothing wrong with letting the store keep accounts, but he agreed to help Liu Qing! After thinking for a while, he put down his belt: "Shopkeeper, look at how much silver my belt is worth?" ”

The belt was trimmed with gold wire, and several large silver buckles were fastened with precious stones, and at a glance you knew that it was valuable. Not to mention these silver, gold and precious stones, just the manual fee used to tie this belt, Ouyang Chun spent hundreds of taels of silver!

Of course, the store is a person who knows the goods, like real money, and it is the most valuable in Shangjing at this time. However, his eyes were very vicious, and he could see Ouyang Chun's current situation at a glance, so he deliberately made a look of embarrassment: "Oh, guest officer, your belt is very valuable, and you didn't dare to say anything in the small shop before, but now, no matter what kind of business we do here, it's not easy to do anything, this, I'm afraid it won't sell for any price." ”

Ouyang Chun has been running the rivers and lakes for a long time, so he naturally knows the intention of this store. He also knew that if he went to sell it himself, he would definitely not be able to sell it at the price of the store if he couldn't find a buyer. The dragon crossing the river is not as good as the head snake of the ground, this is the truth.

At that moment, he sighed: "Bother the store to help me find a buyer, I won't let you run in vain." ”

The shopkeeper went happily, and he had to take at least half of the kickback.

Ouyang Chun lifted his pants without a belt with his hand, his eyes were very dim, and he muttered: "Bai Lao Wu, if you don't come again, do you really want me to sell knives?" ”
