Zhao Yan and Su Shi came to the main hall and sat for a while, Yelu Hongji and Yelu Jun's father and son came, and Yelu Chongyuan also came, which made them feel a little relieved, but at noon, Yelu Chongyuan suddenly left the banquet, because the banquet at this time was already very chaotic, and no one paid attention to Yelu Chongyuan's departure at all, but Zhao Yan and Su Shi, who had been paying attention to each other, saw that Yelu Chongyuan had been gone for a long time and had not returned, which made them both nervous in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, and their eyes showed a little nervousness.

In the afternoon, Yelu Hongji personally came to invite Zhao Yan and Su Shi to enter the inner hall, this is the place where Yelu Hongji's family held a family banquet, except for the first day when Yelu Hongji was outside to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, he stayed here most of the other time, when Zhao Yan and Su Shi came in, not only saw Yelu Hongji here, but also the queen Xiao Guanyin and a group of concubines were also there, and the rest were princes, princesses and the like, but what made Zhao Yan strange was that he did not see Yelu Si in the princess group.

"Haha, imperial nephew, please sit down, since the last time I accidentally got & no & wrong & one of your paintings, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!" Yelu Hongji came in with Zhao Yan's hand very affectionately, and then asked him to sit down.

"His Majesty is too famous, and it is also an honor for his little nephew to be able to paint for His Majesty!" Zhao Yan also said with a smile, but he was extremely anxious in his heart, Yelu Chongyuan had already left the banquet, God knows when there would be a coup d'état, and it would take time to prepare if he wanted to let the hot air balloon take off, so he had to rush back as much as possible.

It was precisely because of the above that Zhao Yan said a few polite words to Yelu Hongji. immediately asked to start painting directly, which made Yelu Hongji stunned, but he didn't think much about it, he immediately sat on the dragon chair, and then asked people to send Zhao Yan's things for painting here, and began to paint on the spot.

Xiao Guanyin and others were also very curious about Zhao Yan's way of painting, so a group of concubines, princesses and princes all gathered around, and they didn't dare to disturb, but stood behind Zhao Yan to watch. As a result, when they saw Zhao Yan, he was actually holding charcoal to paint. And when there was a cooking cake next to it, they all showed incredible expressions, and even some princesses covered their mouths and snickered, feeling that Zhao Yan's appearance was a little funny.

But wait until Zhao Yan starts painting. Xiao Guanyin and the others never smiled anymore. I saw it in Zhao Yan's pen. A very realistic portrait of Yeluhonki is slowly being completed, especially the special effect of the portrait protruding from the drawing paper, which looks almost like a real person. There is absolutely no one to imitate.

Because he was worried that Yelu Chongyuan would be killed by the rebels at any time, Zhao Yan also waved it often this time, and it took only one hour to paint Yelu Hongji's portrait, but he thought with some malice in his heart that if Yelu Hongji was killed by Yelu Chongyuan this time, the portrait he painted was likely to be his posthumous image.

When the portrait was finished, Yelu Hongji was also very happy to take the portrait and look at it, and the result was also greatly appreciated: "The emperor's nephew's painting skills are really superb, and he is a precedent for a generation, and he can definitely compare with Wu Daozi in the future!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but calligraphy and painting are just a small way, and usually the little nephew is only used for self-entertainment, and he really can't take the stage in front of His Majesty!" Zhao Yan also smiled and said modestly, and at the same time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least until now, Yelu Chongyuan's side has not carried out a coup d'état, as long as he leaves now, there should be enough time to raise the hot air balloon.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan wanted to inform Su Shi with his eyes and ask him to prepare to leave with him, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that Su Shi was no longer in his original position, but was sitting opposite Xiao Guanyin and several concubines, and was discussing something very lively, which is also fortunate that the palace of Liao is not as strict as the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise if it was placed in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that he would have been cut down by Zhao Shu a long time ago.

However, Zhao Yan was almost angry when he saw this, at this time, Su Shi was still in the mood to pick up girls, he couldn't tell the severity, which made him do it at the moment, and then saluted Yelu Hongji again: "Your Majesty, the painting just now made the little nephew spend a lot of effort, plus he drank wine before, so I want to go back and rest now!" ”

When Zhao Yan spoke, he finally attracted Su Shi's gaze, which made him hurriedly give the other party a look, which meant that he should also quickly find a way to get out, after all, the hot air balloon is not a simple matter, and it takes a while to prepare.

However, what Zhao Yan never expected was that as soon as his words fell, Xiao Guanyin, who had been talking happily with Su Shi just now, suddenly stood up and said to Zhao Yan with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of the County has worked hard, but after seeing the portrait painted by the King of the County for His Majesty, the palace also wants to have such a portrait in his heart, so I wonder if the King of the County can help the palace paint a portrait too?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Guanyin also came to join in the fun, Zhao Yan was a little crying and laughing, if there was no rebellion of Yelu Chongyuan, it would be nothing for him to paint again, but at this juncture, where would he still be in the mood to paint?

"Imperial nephew, I also know that you are very tired, but it is rare for the queen to meet something she likes, so I hope you will not refuse!" At this time, Yelu Hongji also said that he had a good relationship with Xiao Guanyin, and he also wanted to meet his wife's request.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yan didn't know what to do, and what he didn't expect was that Su Shi also came over and persuaded at this time: "King Jun, since this is the case, you can help the queen draw a portrait!" ”

Hearing Su Shi's words, Zhao Yan immediately looked at Su Shi with an incredible gaze, and others didn't care, but Su Shi obviously knew that Yelu Chongyuan might make a coup d'état at any time, but he even helped Xiao Guanyin intercede, didn't he know that he was putting himself in danger?

Regarding Zhao Yan's questioning, Su Shi showed a strange pleading look, which made people wonder what he was thinking? But now even Yelu Hongji and Su Shi are helping to intercede, and Zhao Yan can't refuse, so he has to nod helplessly in agreement, and then let Xiao Guanyin sit down, he picked up the paintbrush again and painted a portrait of the other party.

However, just when Zhao Yan had just finished the portrait of Xiao Guanyin and was applying the painting liquid to it, and the sky was already dark, he suddenly saw a palace man running in with a rolling belt, and shouted to Yelu Hongji with a panicked face: "An army suddenly appeared in the south of the Qiqi Majesty Palace, and it was flying towards the palace, and the outpost on the road had been cleared by them, and it seemed that they wanted to be unfavorable to His Majesty!" ”

"Wow~" Hearing the news, everyone in the inner hall stood up in shock, among them, Yelu Hongji's face changed, and he soon said to Xiao Guanyin, "Queen, take care of here, I will come when I go!" ”

After Yelu Hongji finished speaking, he strode out of the inner hall, and Yelu Jun, who was the crown prince, immediately followed, and then the two came to the main hall to gather important ministers and palace guards, they had to see with their own eyes who killed people from the south, and even Yelu Hongji still didn't believe that anyone really dared to rebel under his own rule.

Xiao Guanyin also nodded when she heard her husband's words, and then personally sent Yelu Hongji out, when she watched her husband's generous back disappear into the night, which made her sigh, turned around and went back to comfort the princes and princesses who were a little commotion, and finally waited until these princes and princesses quieted down, Xiao Guanyin thought of Zhao Yan and Su Shi, but when she turned her head, she saw that Zhao Yan and Su Shi were gone, but Zhao Yan's painting tools were left, and her own portrait was also left on the drawing board, which made Xiao Guanyin stunned again, I don't understand where Zhao Yan and Su Shi went?

Now it is completely dark outside, but because the birthday banquet is still going on, so the entire palace is still brightly lit, Zhao Yan and Su Shi hurriedly passed through the palace one after another, although they ran out of breath, but they were all anxious, just now they heard the words of the palace people, and immediately knew that Yelu Chongyuan had finally rebelled, so they took advantage of the chaos to get out of the inner hall, and then ran to the palace where they lived as quickly as possible.

"Your Highness...... Your Highness's forgiveness of sins, all ...... It's all the lower officials' hearts that are soft-hearted for a while, and they actually delay time, if they put His Royal Highness in danger because of this, it is really impossible to forgive his sin! Su Shi panted and apologized while running, he regretted it now, he thought that it should be okay to delay a little time, but he didn't expect that it was because he painted Xiao Guanyin in the end, and as a result, he met Yelu Chongyuan and rebelled.

"Don't mention this matter, just now I have already instructed Zhou Dong to go back in advance and make preparations, as long as we can rush to the place where we live, we can take off as quickly as possible!" Zhao Yan was indeed a little annoyed with Su Shi just now, but then he thought about it carefully, at that time, even Yelu Hongji wanted to paint Xiao Guanyin by himself, so even if Su Shi didn't intercede, I was afraid that he would stay in the end.

Su Shi heard that Zhao Yan didn't mean to blame in his words, which made him secretly relieved, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout of killing from the south side of the palace, and then there was a riot from the south, it seems that Yelu Chongyuan's rebels have begun to attack the palace, I believe that soon this news will spread all over the palace, and then the entire palace will be in chaos, but I don't know who will win in the end?

Because the specifications of the Great Song Dynasty mission were very high, so Zhao Yan's place where they lived was not far from the main hall where the birthday banquet was held, and he and Su Shi only spent about a cup of tea running back to their own place, when they saw the gate of the palace, this made Zhao Yan also breathe a sigh of relief, and just wanted to step to the backyard of the main hall, but at this moment, they suddenly saw a black shadow rushing out in front of the palace gate to block their way.
