Chapter 227: Escape
"Phew!" I saw a Western Xia official holding a wine jug in his hand, smashing it on the head of a tribal leader, and then kicked the other party out with a fierce kick, as a result, the tribal leader rolled over and knocked down several tables, and he was also broken on the head and bleeding.
What surprised Zhao Yan even more was that he knew both the beating and the beaten, among them, the Western Xia official who beat people was the envoy sent by the Western Xia, and as for the one who was beaten, it was the leader of the Wanyan Department that he had paid special attention to before.
I saw that the beating Xixia official kicked the other party out and did not stop, but rushed forward and kicked twice, although he was fat and fat, and the movement was not very fast, the beaten Wanyan leader was very strong, but he did not dare to fight back, he could only be beaten passively, until the last Liao official in charge of the banquet stepped forward, the Xixia envoy stopped angrily, at this time the Wanyan leader was full of blood, looking very miserable.
Next, with the inquiry of the officials of the Liao State, Zhao Yan and the others next to him figured out what happened, it turned out that the leader of the Wanyan Department accidentally sprinkled wine on the other party when he passed by the Xixia envoy, and as a result, the Xixia envoy, who was already known for his arrogance, was immediately furious, and he drank a lot of wine, so he couldn't help but say that he had a big fight with the Yan Ministry, and the Wanyan leader also knew that he couldn't afford to provoke the other party, so he didn't dare to fight back at all.
After hearing what happened, although Zhao Yan didn't have any good feelings about the Jurchens at all, [Chang] Feng also felt that the fault of this matter was the Western Xia envoys, after all, they just sprinkled some wine on him, as long as they paid a courtesy, they just made a profit. There is no need to beat people at all, not to mention that the leader of the Wanyan Department is obviously stronger than the Xixia envoys, but he has never fought back, so this matter should be completely blamed on the Xixia people.
However, what Zhao Yan didn't expect was that after the Liao State official who came to deal with it heard what happened, he immediately reprimanded the middle-aged leader of Wanyan's department with a vicious face, and then asked people to drive him out of the banquet. This result also surprised Zhao Yan, but in comparison, the other people around showed a natural expression, because this was originally a place where strength spoke. Western Xia was able to defeat the Great Song and Liao kingdoms several times. The military strength is obvious to all, so the officials of the Liao State are naturally reluctant to anger the Tangut people in such a trivial matter.
Zhao Yan finally reacted when he saw this, it seems that no matter what era, the naked law of the jungle is wielding its effect. As long as your fist is big enough. Then unreasonableness can become reasonable. It is estimated that the Wanyan Department also has a deep understanding of this, so after rising decades later, it will be so cruel to retaliate against the world.
"Third brother. Let's go, there's nothing to see about this kind of thing, it's all barbarians, and there is no reason to talk about it at all! Zhao Yan saw that Zhao Yan was still stunned at this time, and patted him on the shoulder at the moment and said, he thought that Zhao Yan was a little uncomfortable seeing this unfairness, so he reminded him.
Zhao Yan also woke up from his contemplation at this time, nodded and raised his feet to leave, but just a few steps away, he suddenly felt that he had stepped on something hard, which made him look down, but now he stepped on a bracelet made of animal teeth.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that he would not bend down to pick up a small collar at all, not to mention that this is just a worthless beast tooth bracelet, but Zhao Yan is very interested in Wanyan, plus although this beast tooth bracelet is rough, it has a different kind of rough beauty, so Zhao Yan bent down and picked it up, and wanted to return it to the collar of Wanyan, but when he walked out of the hall, he now that the other party no longer knew where he was thrown, which made Zhao Yan have to temporarily put it away, and it just so happened that his trip to Liao was about to end. There are no decent souvenirs yet, but this bracelet is a nice thing, at least to remind yourself of the threat of the Jurchens.
At that moment, Zhao Yan, Zhao Xu, and Su Shi returned to the palace where they lived, and then Zhao Yan told Su Shi the current form with a stern face, after all, the other party was also the deputy envoy of the mission, and now he was risking his life with them to stay here, so he naturally wanted to let him know the current situation.
Su Shi never expected that during this period of time, Zhao Yan and Zhao Ji would do so many things, and they would have fallen into such a dangerous situation, fortunately, that Yelu Chongyuan did not choose to rebel today, otherwise he might not even understand how to die.
"Your Highnesses, what should we do next?" Su Shi also asked with a bitter face at this time, he was not afraid of death, but he didn't expect that he would risk his life when he went to Liao, so he was a little unacceptable for a while.
"The next thing is simple, we'll rest here for the night and find a chance to leave early tomorrow morning." Zhao Yan replied immediately.
"But the palace is heavily guarded, so I'm afraid it's not easy for us to leave, right?" At this time, Su Shi asked again.
"You can rest assured that Wude did not come with us this time, in addition to managing the remaining manpower of the mission, one of the most important reasons is to receive us, he will send someone early tomorrow morning, and then make up an excuse to ask us to go to Beijing to deal with it, and then we can take advantage of this to get out." Zhao Yan also explained with a smile at this time, he and Zhao Yan had already discussed all the details of getting out.
However, as soon as Zhao Ji's words fell, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside, and then saw Zhou Tong walk in with a palace attendant and report: "Two highnesses, His Majesty the Emperor sent someone to say that there is a will to be conveyed." ”
When Zhao Ji and Zhao Yan left, Yelu Hongji was still having fun with the hundred officials in the main hall, but he didn't expect the other party to come to the will at such a time, and they all looked at each other in surprise, and then stood up and looked at the waiter, only to see the Liao waiter clear his throat, and then said: "Your Majesty has a will, the day after tomorrow afternoon, please invite His Royal Highness the King of Guangyang County to enter the palace and paint a portrait of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
"Portrait!" Hearing the news, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan all stood on the spot, they had thought of it when they wanted to get out, but they only forgot that Zhao Yan came to Liao mainly to paint a portrait of Yelu Hongji, but some time ago Yelu Hongji had never mentioned this matter, Zhao Yan was a little reluctant, so naturally he didn't take the initiative to mention it, thinking that the other party had forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Yelu Hongji to plan to let Zhao Yan paint on the last day of the birthday banquet.
"Please prepare the king of Guangyang County, and the old slave will come to pick you up into the palace in the afternoon after tomorrow!" The chamberlain who delivered the message said a word to Zhao Yan again, then turned around and left.
Su Shi watched the chamberlain leave, and then looked at Zhao Yan and Zhao Ji who were standing on the spot, and immediately guessed something, which made him frown and said: "Yelu Hongji actually asked the prince of the county to enter the palace in the afternoon to paint a portrait, so wouldn't we be able to leave?" ”
As soon as Su Shi's words fell, Zhao Ji finally woke up from the shock, and immediately spoke: "If you can't go, you won't leave, it's a big deal that I asked Wude and them to find an opportunity to transfer the guards left behind outside the palace, and then be ready to pick us up at any time!" ”
"No way!" Zhao Yan also came to his senses at this time, and when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he immediately objected, "Tomorrow is still according to the original plan, big brother, you and Brother Zizhan will leave first, just leave me here, as for my safety, you don't have to worry, I have arranged something to save my life before I came, even if I am in the army, I can escape with my life!" ”
Originally, Zhao Yan was reluctant to use the life-saving thing made by Cao Yan and others, because he felt that the safety of this thing was really not guaranteed, but now it seems that he has to use it if he doesn't want to, he just hopes that God will give him some face, and there will be no other situation.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive, now is not the time to be a hero, and I promised my father to take care of you, so I will never leave you here, otherwise I won't have the face to go back!" Zhao Ji also said with a resolute face at this time, as an elder brother, he would never run away by himself, and then let his younger brother face the danger alone.
"Big brother, don't worry, I'm not impulsive, and what I said is true, I really prepared something to escape in advance, if you don't believe it, you and Brother Zizhan will go to the backyard with me to have a look." Zhao Yan said with a smile, the two cars he brought had been kept secret from the outside world before, and even Zhao Yan didn't know what was in the car, after all, in the eyes of others, there was no danger at all in going to Liao, if he let others know that he had prepared something to escape, maybe he would die of laughter directly, but now it seems that Zhao Yan's sixth sense is still very accurate.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Yan and Su Shi were also stunned, and then nodded together, they also wanted to know what Zhao Yan had prepared to make him so confident in escaping in danger?
At that moment, Zhao Yan took Zhao Yan and the two to the backyard of the palace, where gifts for Yelu Hongji were originally parked, but now they have been sent out, and there are only some empty carriages left, but among these carriages, there are two big carriages that are still full of things, but they are tightly covered by black curtains, so that people can't see what is on the carriage?
I saw Zhao Yan personally jump into the carriage, and then untie the rope on it, which suddenly opened the black curtain, but to Zhao Ji and Su Shi's surprise, they saw that the carriage was still a pile of stacked cloth, and there was a basket like a big bathtub underneath, and there were many bags next to the basket, and I don't know what it contained?
