Renzong really walked towards Pang Ji: "Taishi, why haven't you entered the palace to see me these days?" ”

Pang Ji clenched his fists: "Back to the emperor, since the emperor ordered the ministers to hold a birthday banquet, I have been busy with this matter for the past two days, and I also ask the emperor to atone for his sins." ”

Renzong smiled: "What is the guilt of the Grand Master? ”

At this time, Pang Niangniang suddenly pulled Renzong, and whispered something in Renzong's ear, but her eyes looked at Pang Xi who was standing behind Pang Ji. Are you Pang Xi? ”

Pang Xi immediately knelt down on one knee very neatly: "Villain Pang Xi, I have seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Renzong nodded slightly: "Get up, I heard that you killed hundreds of Liao generals in Liao Country alone, is there anything wrong?" ”

What Song Renzong heard was only folk misinformation, and in such a mouth-to-mouth legend, not only was Pang Xi deified into a monster-like super master, but even Chen Yuan was described as a literary all-rounder comparable to Zhuge Kongming and martial arts comparable to Zhao Yun.

Pang Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, those are all folk rumors, and they can't be taken seriously." ”

Of course, Renzong didn't take it seriously, otherwise he would have summoned Pang Xi a long time ago. But when I heard Pang Xi say this, I still laughed and went up to help Pang Xi: "Get up." ”

Pang Xi took advantage of the situation and tried to straighten his body, and Renzong nodded: "Good, good!" Sure enough, there is a kind of bearing! In this way, most of what so many of us here hear is from the people, and now you might as well talk about how to talk about the matter, so as to solve the doubts in our hearts. ”

This matter is kept secret by Liao, because it is not a glorious thing for them, so no one knows some specific circumstances, and the coherence of the intermediate plot is all just the speculation of the person who recited.

Pang Xi hurriedly said: "Yes! ”

When he came to the living room, the ministers sat down on either side, Renzong sat in the middle, and Pang Xi stood in the hall and began to tell his story.

Although Pang Xi is not as articulate as Chen Yuan, this story Pang Ji has long been arranged in the most wonderful way, forcing Pang Xi to memorize it. Coupled with the fact that he is a party himself, it makes people feel like they are there.

When Pang Xi provoked the battle between the north and south courtyards from Chen Yuan, and suddenly turned to find out that Yelu Zongyuan was also going to kill them, everyone felt their hearts sink violently.

Speaking of the night when several people swore to live and die together, and they must fight with the Liao people to the end, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but slap the table and praised this as a righteous act.

In the end, there were even more ups and downs, and everyone went from life to death and then from death to life at the last moment, which made the entire hall silent.

It wasn't until Pang Xi finished speaking that Song Renzong sighed: "Alas! Although it is not as magical as the folk recitation, but the thrill is also breathtaking, just listen to your relay, it is already so, if you are immersive, it is really not easy to persevere, I want to know, what makes you choose to live and die together? ”

Pang Xi smiled bitterly: "Without him, there is no choice." If we run away one by one, those who are left behind will certainly die, and those who flee may not be able to get out of the territory. ”

Song Renzong, as Pang Ji expected, glanced at Pang Xi with appreciation: "In this way, you have solved a big trouble for me, and I want to reward you well." What does Mr. Pang want, just ask! ”

Pang Xi was about to speak, but Fan Zhongyan suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, if you have a report." ”

Pang Ji was nervous in his heart, things were developing according to their plan, he had long known that Fan Zhongyan would not be restrained, this old man is fighting back now, what method will he use?

Renzong glanced at Fan Zhongyan: "Fan Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Fan Zhongyan immediately said: "Your Majesty, it was Weichen who tried his best to protect Song Qi as an envoy to Liao, but now it seems that he is misemploying people and asking the emperor for his ministers. ”

Pang Ji was stunned for a moment, he thought of all the ways to get rid of it for Fan Zhongyan, but he didn't expect that he would actually take this crime on his own.

Lao Pang secretly glanced at Lu Yijian, and found that Lu Yijian was also quite surprised now, things were completely beyond the expectations of the two of them, they were not Fan Zhongyan, they were villains, and what the villain was thinking about was how to shirk responsibility. So they considered all the ways to retreat for Fan Zhongyan from the perspective of a villain, but they didn't expect Fan Zhongyan to retreat at all. Fan Zhongyan is a gentleman, and what a gentleman has to do is to be brave and responsible.

When Fan Zhongyan really bravely took the responsibility, Pang Ji and Lu Yijian suddenly found that the set of strategies they had arranged to attack the opponent was resolved by Fan Zhongyan's gentle move.

They were angry, but they really had nothing to say, they did everything possible to calculate, but they just wanted to bring down Xia Zhu and Fan Zhongyan, and now that they came out on their own, if they still said anything at this time, it would leave Renzong with the impression of falling into a hole.

Renzong is very generous: "Song Qi, have we already talked about it?" Master Fan doesn't need to say much, if you say that you are improper, then wouldn't I be even more inappropriate in employing people? ”

Fan Zhongyan still didn't get up: "Long live the minister's performance, when it was time to discuss the matter, the minister also thought that Song Qi's trip to Liaoguo was completely impossible, but now Chen Shimei, Mr. Pang and others are still able to do it as a businessman, so it can be seen that Song Qi is either not doing his best, or his ability is not enough." The minister believes that Lord Song must have done his best, so Weichen thinks that Weichen should take full responsibility for the improper lifting of people, and ask the emperor to surrender his guilt! ”

Xia Zhu followed and knelt down: "Long live the old minister's performance, what Lord Fan said is very true, the old minister and Lord Fan ask for punishment together, and please long live the crime." ”

Pang Ji was very annoyed in his heart, and he only thought about how the opponent would abandon the pawn to protect the car, but he didn't expect that these rotten people would actually use the trick of abandoning the car and protecting the pawn. This is the essential difference between a gentleman and a villain.

Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu asked for their own guilt, but they just lost a rook on the chessboard, and Pang Ji's move to eat as many words as he could eat the other party at will all failed, and he couldn't use it.

It's not that Pang Ji and Lu Yijian are not smart, it's just that from their point of view, no one would be stupid enough to be like Fan Zhongyan.

Fan Zhongyan kowtowed to Renzong again: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Pang Xi and others have done something beneficial to my Great Song Dynasty and should be rewarded." And the Taishi is also indispensable,"

Before he finished speaking, Renzong suddenly waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, I know what to do." Today is the birthday banquet of the Grand Master, I will not talk about political affairs, as for what Fan Aiqing said, we will discuss it tomorrow and the morning dynasty. ”

Pang Ji's face shook sharply a few times, he felt a kind of helplessness, and his eyes stared at Fan Zhongyan, this old man will definitely be demoted by Renzong tomorrow, but he took the responsibility on his shoulders and rescued these rotten people!

His wishful thinking has failed, and although there is no problem in re-entering the DPRK, if he wants to fight the power of these people and restore his former power, he still needs to find a new reason.

He was resentful in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "What the emperor said is even, Lord Fan, let's talk about this matter tomorrow, if anyone mentions it again, the minister will ask the emperor to punish him for drinking all the good wine in the minister's house." ”

Renzong smiled: "This is the best, what kind of program does Taishi have?" ”

Pang Ji smiled, put his hands together for eleven beats, and a group of singers came in outside the door, and the wind music began to play. A group of small servants bent down from both sides and flashed in, adding wine to everyone.

Fan Zhongyan also quietly retreated to the side, and everyone's emotions also rejoiced in the pleasant wind music and singing and dancing, getting rid of the heavy topic just now.

Only Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu looked a little uncertain on their faces, and they looked at each other a few times from time to time, as if they were exchanging something.

Pang Ji sat next to Renzong, raised his glass very respectfully and toasted to Renzong: "The old minister thanks the emperor's holy family. ”

Renzong raised his glass, shook and took a sip with Pang Ji, and then pointed to the dancing singer under his finger and said something to Pang Niangniang.

Pang Ji drank all his glasses and sat down, waiting for the maid behind him to pour him a drink.

The maid saw the opportunity and hurriedly walked over with her head bowed with the flask.

Pang Xi looked at the maid and looked forward, and suddenly felt some ominous feeling in his heart. This woman herself had never seen before, and her face was very raw. What made Pang Xi feel that something was wrong was that she kept her head down when she walked, as if she was afraid that others would see her face clearly.

So he immediately stood up, and was about to stop the woman when he suddenly heard a scream outside, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.

"There are assassins!"

The martial artist outside the door shouted loudly, which made the faces of the officials in the entire hall change color. This is the Taishi Mansion, and the emperor is here today, who has eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard and dares to choose to assassinate today?

Besides, will this sword soldier be affected by himself? They hurriedly got up from their seats. Standing up would at least make it easier for you to move, and if the Assassin was close to you, you could dodge.

Pang Ji looked like he was not alarmed, he usually said that he had done a lot of bad things, so he had encountered many assassinations, and he had long been accustomed to such unexpected situations. So when everyone was a little panicked, Pang Ji sat there and didn't move, and said in a deep voice: "Pang Xi, go out and have a look." ”

Pang Xi saw that the maid's hands were trembling a little, as if he was frightened by the news that an assassin had come in, and immediately stopped doubting, and responded with a fist: "Yes." ”

Renzong admired Pang Ji's current performance very much, and smiled slightly: "Taishi is really calm, come, let's have another drink." ”

Pang Ji hurriedly got up and said, "Emperor Xie praises." ”

At this moment, the waitress came to Pang Ji's side and poured Pang Ji wine with trembling hands. Probably due to nervousness, some spilled out.

Pang Ji was not surprised, and picked up the wine glass casually.

At this time, Pang Xi had already gone out of the door, and when he looked around, there were indeed two fights in front of him, and even fierce, the assassins were all covered with black scarves, dressed in black, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

However, the figure looks like a man and a woman, the man is holding a double hammer, dancing like a tiger and a tiger, although the martial artists of Pang Mansion have surrounded him, but no one can lean on it.

The woman next to her was holding a short sword, although her martial arts skills were not as good as the man's, but she gradually killed here with her dexterity.

Pang Ji looked at the masked woman with the sword, sighed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Here we go again!" ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush over and capture the two alive.

As soon as the footsteps moved, a strong gust of wind blew down from overhead, carrying the momentum of breaking through the sky! Pang Xi was shocked, hurriedly flashed a step to the side, and a steel whip fell down on Pang Xi's shoulder, and hit Pang Xi's head again.

Although he had an iron cloth shirt to protect himself, Pang Xi knew that the iron cloth shirt would not have much effect when facing the divine weapon or the martial arts master, so he didn't dare to be careless at all, and his body was raised back to avoid the whip, and at the same time, his hands shook, and he had already put the iron ring on his arm.

"What are you doing with your face covered?"

Pang Xi fought with the assassin, and after just a few rounds, he suddenly smiled: "Martial arts have improved a lot, if you come back next year, you will definitely be able to kill me." ”

The assassin didn't say much, and the steel whip slammed in.
