The next morning, Zhang Renxian suddenly woke up from his sleep, the whole person sat up from the bed, his head was full of cold sweat, just now he had a very terrible dream, although the situation in the dream was not very clear after waking up, but Zhang Renxian vaguely remembered that he seemed to be being chased by a hungry wolf in his dream, and saw that he was chased by the wolf and fell to the ground, and then the hungry wolf bit on his thigh, and then he was scared awake.

"How can you have such a nightmare?" Zhang Ren first wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said to himself a little strangely, and then he suddenly said "Huh", reached out and touched his left thigh, and now it seems to be really painful, which made him stunned, pulled open the quilt and took a look, but now his clothes have been taken off, and not far above the knee of his left leg, there is a red spot the size of a needle's eye, which looks like he was bitten by some insect.

"Damn the Great Song Dynasty, it's still so hot after the summer, there are bugs everywhere, and our Shangjing City in Daliao is much cooler now." Zhang Renxian complained in a low voice, the weather in Tokyo is hot, and the summer and autumn seasons are the time when there are the most insects, especially fleas, lice, mosquitoes, and other vampire things, which are very active, although the post house of the Great Song Dynasty is often cleaned, it is inevitable that some insects will run in, almost every morning when you wake up, you will be bitten out of some pimples, if you get up in the morning, it is strange if you don't itch on your body, so Zhang Renxian didn't care about this.

Today is the day to leave Tokyo, so Zhang Renxian did not delay the time, and hurriedly got up to get dressed and washed. It's just that the strength of last night's alcohol has not completely passed, he only feels a splitting headache when washing, and retching several times in a row, and his stomach is extremely uncomfortable.

By the time it was time to have breakfast, Zhang Renxian was not the only one who was uncomfortable, Xiao Derang and other members of the mission were also covering their heads one by one, and it seemed that they had not yet woken up from the hangover. But the date has already been set, so no matter how uncomfortable it is. They still managed to eat something. Then under the leadership of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, they went to check the New Year's coins that were sealed by their own hands yesterday, and there were also a hundred jars of burning knives given to them by Zhao Xu, although Xiao Derang and others had not recovered yet, but when they saw the burning knives. But I can't help but babble under my tongue.

There is no problem with the seal of the year. Zhang Ren first discussed with Xiao Derang. The departure was immediately announced, so the Liao envoys rode in front, and a team of Great Song forbidden troops escorting the New Year's coins followed. Leaving the city of Tokyo, they had to go all the way north to Xiongzhou, the border city of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then the Liao State sent troops to receive the New Year's coins, because the New Year's coins had been counted in Tokyo City, so the New Year's coins would be directly transported to the Liao State, and even if there was a problem in the future, the Great Song Dynasty would no longer be responsible.

Anyone who has read the Water Margin should know that according to the description in the book, it seems that as long as the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is a mountain, almost all of them are entrenched in a group of robbers, of course, the fact is not so exaggerated, but it is almost the same, especially in the northern border area, the folk customs are relatively strong, there are not many places for farmers when they are busy and thieves when they are free, but although there are many of these robbers, no one dares to fight the idea of the New Year's coin, so Zhang Renxian They were very smooth along the way, and after arriving in Xiongzhou, they also quickly waited for the army sent by the Liao State to receive the New Year's coin. In the end, they returned to Liao with the New Year's coins and the army.

After the New Year's coin is escorted back, it must be given to the Emperor of Liao as soon as possible, the current Emperor of Liao is named Yelu Hongji, and those who are familiar with Jin Yong's novels should know that the Emperor of Liao who was rescued by Xiao Feng and worshiped with him is this Yelu Hongji. In real history, Yelu Hongji is also extremely famous, because he is the most famous mediocre emperor in the history of the Liao State, and the Liao State was in his hands from prosperity to decline, but this person is very fond of Han culture and is very good at poetry, echoing with the Song Huizong for decades.

Zhang Renxian and they escorted the New Year's Coin to the Liao State Nanjing Xijin Mansion, and then rushed to the Zhongjing Daning Mansion, where they received the news that His Majesty the Emperor of the Liao State was setting up a palace in the middle of Zhongjing and Shangjing, which was not too far from Zhongjing, and they could just rush over.

Liao is a country established by the Khitans, in order to maintain their own national character, so they implemented the law of "the system of the Khitan of their own clan, and the control of the Han people to govern the Han people", in fact, it is the ancient version of one country and two rules, the Khitan and the Han people ruled separately, and set up the southern officials and the northern officials respectively, of which the northern officials are in charge of the Khitan, and the southern officials are in charge of the Han people, and they do not affect each other.

In addition to one country and two governance, the Liao State also retains many customs and characteristics of the Khitan people, such as although the Liao State has five capitals, of which Shangjing is the capital, and the others are accompanying the capitals, but these five capitals are not the political center of the Liao State, because the emperor of the Liao State does not reside in these five capitals at all, but retains the "patrol hunting system" of the nomads, according to the different seasons, the Liao Emperor will move his palace around, and generally stay in a different place in each season.

Zhang Renxian their luck was good, when they arrived in Zhongjing, they met the emperor's palace nearby, so they did not stay in Zhongjing, and they were ready to go to Yelu Hongji to express their merits, among which the credit of the year coin is not enough, the key is that they brought a hundred altars of burning knives from the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of liquor is very popular with the Liao people, Yelu Hongji is a mediocre person who loves wine, as long as he pleases him with a burning knife, he will be promoted to official wealth in the future.

After a few days of nervous travel, seeing that they could reach the emperor's palace this afternoon, this made Xiao Derang and Zhang Renxian both relieved, since they left the Tokyo City of the Great Song Dynasty, they have been on the road for nearly a month and a half, and now the mission and the army escorting the New Year's coin are very tired, but the palace is in front of you, as long as you get there, everyone will be promoted, and everyone will be rewarded.

"Brother Renxian, I don't see that your face is not very good, do you want to take a break?" At this time, Xiao Derang, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly saw Zhang Renxian's face next to him, and asked with some concern, the two are officials in the Liao State together, and they have known each other for many years, and their personal relationship with each other is also good, plus Zhang Renxian's father is in charge of the North Courtyard as a Han, and his power in the court is only comparable to the two of them, so Xiao Derang is also very concerned about Zhang Renxian.

"Hehe, it's okay, maybe I'm too tired to travel these days, so it's a little uncomfortable, and the sun is a little dazzling today." Zhang Renxian forced a smile on his pale face. Since this morning, he has felt that something is wrong with his body, nausea, headache, no appetite for eating, and his whole body feels a little unwell.

"Glaring?" Xiao Derang looked at the not very strong sunlight today with some doubts, and then said without care, "It's okay, the farther we go north, the colder it gets, according to the current weather, it is estimated that it will freeze in a few days, your body has always been a little weak, it may be infected with wind cold, and it will be fine when you get to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to prescribe hot medicine for you to drink." ”

"Brother Derang, I heard that His Majesty intends to choose a son-in-law for the princess of Wei, and you are a person of great hope, this time we successfully brought back the New Year's coin, we should be able to make your Majesty make a decision to marry the princess of Wei to you, right?" Although Zhang Renxian was unwell, he still did not forget the affairs of the court, there is no saying that relatives in Liao are not allowed to interfere in politics, if Xiao Derang becomes the concubine of Liao, it will definitely be smooth sailing in his career in the future, and Zhang Renxian can't help but care about such an important matter.

"Hehe, this matter is true, His Majesty has decided to use the princess of Wei to marry our Xiao family, although the candidate for the concubine has not yet been determined, but this time let me envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, it is estimated that it is the final test, and now that we have brought back the New Year's coin, it is estimated that Your Majesty Xià will soon announce my marriage date with the princess of Wei." Xiao Derang also said a little proudly at this time, Princess Wei is the eldest daughter born to the queen, and her status is extremely noble, and she is by no means comparable to the princesses born to other concubines and palace maids.

"I see, the little brother is here to congratulate Brother Derang!" When Zhang Renxian heard this, he immediately endured the discomfort of his body, and said with an eager smile, Xiao Derang became a concubine, and the relationship between the two was good, and he would be able to have a strong ally in the court in the future.

However, as soon as Zhang Renxian's words fell, a gust of north wind that was not strong suddenly blew, which was nothing special, but Zhang Renxian suddenly trembled all over, and his arms were blocked in front of his face, as if he was very frightened.

"Brother Renxian, what are you?" Seeing Zhang Renxian's appearance, Xiao Derang was also taken aback, and he couldn't figure out what made Zhang Renxian so scared?

"I ...... I don't know? Zhang Renxian finally stopped his trembling body, and then put down his arms with a blank face, he suddenly felt a strong fear just now, as if it was not a gust of wind just now, but a sharp knife and gun, so that he couldn't help but react instinctively.

While they were talking, a shallow stream appeared in front of the team, and the team in front of them had already waded through the water, but when Zhang Renxian heard the sound of the water, his face once again showed a look of extreme fear, and at the same time he writhed uneasily on the horse's back, as if he couldn't control his movements at all.

"Brother Renxian, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Derang saw Zhang Renxian's strange behavior, and he was also frightened for a while, and at this time, everyone could see that Zhang Renxian's body was wrong.

"Water...... No...... I don't want water! I don't want water......" Zhang Renxian didn't pay attention to Xiao Derang's words at all, muttered with extreme fear on his face, and finally suddenly fell off the horse, and then ignored the dirt all over his body, got up and shouted "I don't want water" and stumbled backwards! (To be continued......)

ps: Afraid of light, afraid of wind, afraid of water, everyone has probably guessed what the protagonist hit Zhang Renxian for, hehe, this method is too dangerous, don't imitate it.
