Chapter 50 The Wise Man in the Eyes of the Northern Liao People

Fang Xie and Big Dog hid in the dense grass and peeked into the path not far away. Mu Xiaoxiao was too eye-catching because the red dress on his body was too eye-catching, so he stayed in the reeds not far behind. From Mu Xiaoyi's sense, there were many people approaching Fang Xie and the big dog to find a suitable place to hide, and they had enough time.

Originally, he thought it was the person of the Great Sui Qingya, but when he got closer, Fang Xie couldn't help but be surprised and whispered to himself.

"How could it be them?"

On the path not far away, a group of more than a dozen sturdy men gathered together and whispered a few words. A few people then separated and stood on guard, while others found a clean place to sit and rest. And the young man sitting in the middle, Fang Xie actually knew.

Robes, riding coats, leather boots, scimitars.

The forehead is shaved and smooth, but there is a black braid on the back of the head.

"Northern Liao?"

The big dog was also slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Fang Xie and asked, "Do you know them?" ”

Fang Xie pointed to the young Beiliao man in the middle and said, "I saw this person once when I was in Fan Gu, that is, he brought five hundred good war horses into the city to sell. What does the name seem to be called...... Although he pretended to be an ordinary herdsman, I could see at a glance that this person's status in Northern Liao would definitely not be low. You see, those Northern Liao people spread out around him, and all the defenses were laid out against this person. ”

Fang Xie pondered for a while and said, "I came back from the imperial capital so soon, could it be that I was rejected by the emperor of the Great Sui again this time?" ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

The big dog snorted and said, "These people are not here for us, they don't have a murderous aura on them." But since Xiao Waist said that there are masters among them, we can't be careless. ”

Fang Xie smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the war horses of those Northern Liao people: "If only I could find a way to steal their three horses." Of course, it would be best if we could steal their wagon. ”

"Huh?"

After Fang Xie finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, because he found that there were women among those Northern Liao people!

One of them, who was obviously one size smaller in men's clothes, took off the hat on her head and revealed her long hair, apparently, her big braid hanging down the back of her head was fake. Because she was a little farther away, I couldn't look at her face carefully. But I must have done a disguise, and I should have smeared something on my face so it looked a little dark. Fang Xie knew that all the women in Northern Liao were as white as snow, and most of them were charming.

"What's all the fuss."

The big dog said in a low voice: "If it is really what you guessed, this guy is a big man in Northern Liaodi, and it is not an exaggeration to carry a maid who sleeps by his side." Nobles, isn't it important that there are beautiful women around you every night? ”

While the two of them were whispering in the grass, the Beiliao people resting on the side of the path were also whispering.

The woman with an obvious disguise on her face sat down next to Wanyan Liyou, and the posture of this sitting woman was revealed. The legs are bent inward, the knees are against the knees, but the feet can be placed almost horizontally, if you change to a man, you are afraid that you will be laughed to death. And the man's leg bones are thick and hard, and it is difficult to sit like this and be so natural.

Because the smear on her face was too thick, I couldn't tell what she looked like. It is precisely because of this that her feminine hairstyle is a little funny when she matches this black face.

Judging by her face, her body should not be fat at all, but now she looks burly and bloated, and her shoulders are also very broad, so she must have padded a lot of things in her clothes.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes, picked up the kettle and took a sip before looking at the Wanyan Lidemon beside her: "Brother, what does the emperor of the Great Sui mean?" Let's go back like this without knowing anything, if Father Khan asks, how will we explain...... Although compared to the past, this time there is a big man who met with you, brother, but to say that he is unwilling to order too clearly, how can we prepare? ”

"The people of the Central Plains are the most disgusting and not happy enough!"

A rugged man with a beard standing not far away said with some dissatisfaction: "We sincerely take refuge in the Great Sui and are willing to be the people of the Great Sui Emperor, but they refuse to put it down with a shelf, are you still afraid that we will leak the matter?" You must know that the risk borne by our Northern Liao people is much greater than that of their Sui people. ”

"Kodai, I can't say that."

Wanyan Chongde, the prince of the Northern Liaodi under the pseudonym Wanyan Lidemon, waved his hand and said: "It makes sense for the Sui people to think like this, whether they really intend to accept our Northern Liaodi's surrender or not, the Great Sui will not give any clear answer before being ready." Once this news leaks out, there will inevitably be a battle between Da Sui and Meng Yuan. Whether it is Meng Ge or His Majesty, the emperor of the Great Sui, the emperor of a powerful empire like them all value their face very seriously. If there really is going to be a war, none of them will allow their soldiers to be defeated. ”

"The Han people in the Central Plains are too tired!"

Kuotai kept waving his horsewhip and whipping the weeds on the side of the road: "What big things can you do with this kind of foresight, if it were me, I would have sent a large army to join forces with our iron cavalry in Northern Liao." Meng Yuan's men and horses on the northwest border of the Great Sui are just less than 100,000 cavalry in the Mandu Banner, and if it really starts, we can slaughter him with 30,000 cold cavalry in Northern Liaodi, and there is no need for the Great Sui to send troops at all! ”

Wanyan Chongde shook his head: "I have a guess now, if this is really the case, then we will persuade our father Khan to prepare for war after we go back, but Huai Qiugong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Sui, began to pretend to be confused again before I left, and I can't guess what they are planning." ”

"What speculation?"

The Beiliao woman asked.

"Yes......"

Before Yan Chongde could finish speaking, suddenly the Northern Liao warrior who was on guard not far away shouted loudly: "What person! ”

Wanyan Chongde and the Beiliao woman hurriedly stood up and looked over there, only to see a wet young man walking over with a smile.

"Brother Wanyan, don't come to harm?"

The boy threw away his hand and shouted with a smile.

……

……

"Lord Fang?"

When Yan Chongde recognized Fang Jie, he couldn't help but open his mouth slightly in surprise. He really didn't expect that on the side of this mountain road, he would actually meet the young man who had left a deep impression on him when he was in Fan Gu. Although he knew that the young man was just a border army lieutenant, he had been particularly respectful of this young man since that side.

At that time, he was in the dungeon of Fangu, and the young man told him that he would definitely be received by a large number of officials when he arrived in the imperial capital this time. At that time, Wanyan Chongde didn't believe it, but after arriving in the imperial capital, it was the Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who met him in person. He did not believe in the power of prophecy, so he preferred to believe that the young man's mind was very, very useful.

Such a person is called a wise man in the Northern Liao.

And the wise man is extremely respected in the Northern Liaodi.

"Don't call me an adult, I'm just a pawn of the Great Sui Border Army."

Fang Xie walked over with a smile, not caring at all about the Northern Liao warriors who held down the hilt of the scimitar at his waist. His indifferent actions aroused the idea of the Beiliao woman. At the moment when Fang Xie appeared, she quickly put on her hat, and the big braid hung down at the back of her head, but there was really no flaw.

Fang Jie's gaze only swept over the woman's face, and he didn't stay for a minute, but the woman's big bright eyes still left a deep impression on him. Her eyes are large and bright as clear water, and she looks particularly attractive. It's just that I don't know what she is smeared on her face, and she can't see the color of her skin at all.

The woman's big beautiful eyes stayed on Fang Jie, looking very curious.

Fang Xie smiled as he walked: "If Brother Wanyan doesn't mind, you can call me brother." ”

Wanyan Chongde hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile as he walked: "You are the most respected wise man I have met since I entered the Great Sui, and it is my honor to be commensurate with your brother." Since Fan Guyi said goodbye, I have often thought of you, and I always regret that I didn't have the opportunity to meet again. Or Changshengtian heard my prayer and specially arranged for you to meet me, Brother Fang. ”

Fang Xie is no stranger to the way the Northern Liao people speak.

He smiled and said, "Yes, Changshengtian gave me a dream that you miss me, so I didn't travel thousands of miles to wait for you here." ”

"Ha Lu Ha!"

Wanyan Chongde couldn't help laughing, took Fang Jie's hand and walked back without restraint, and introduced his subordinates as he walked: "This is the good brother I met in Fan Gu, and he told me that there will be a big official in Dasui to meet us this time." ”

"I've seen Fang Zhi."

Kuotai and the others didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put their arms across their chests and then bent down to salute.

Fang Xie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Where am I a wise man, it is Brother Wanyan who has praised it." That's right...... Brother Wanyan, didn't you go to the imperial capital, how did I meet you here? ”

Wanyan Chongde waved his hand, and those Northern Liao warriors left immediately. He took Fang Jie's hand and sat down on a stone on the side of the road, and sighed after telling him what happened in the imperial capital: "Brother Fang, you are not an outsider, you are my friend in Northern Liaodi, so I don't plan to hide it from you, it seems that this time we will be disappointed to return to the 100,000 mountains of Northern Liaodi." I am very sad to have failed the trust of my father Khan. ”

Fang Xie frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked, "Why, the imperial court sent you out after letting you eat, drink and have fun in the imperial capital?" ”

"This time was different."

After Yan Chongde told him again about the experience of seeing the Shangshu Huai Qiugong of the Great Sui Rite Department, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Fang, you are the wisest person I have ever met. I treat you as my own brother, and the people of Northern Liao sincerely regard you as a friend. Please Brother Fang, help me think about it, what is the attitude of your Great Sui Imperial Court this time? ”

Fang Jiexin said that these Northern Liao people are really stupid and straightforward, and they will say such an important thing casually when they meet. But he likes such a straightforward temperament very much, and at least it won't be very tiring to deal with such a person.

He thought back to Yan Chongde's words, then shook his head and said, "This time must be different, otherwise Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites will not see you in person." Moreover, in fact, from the very beginning, you should not have doubts, you should have thought that this time is very different from your previous request to see the Great Sui Emperor. ”

"What's the difference?"

Wanyan Chongde asked subconsciously.

Fang Xie smiled and said: "Think about it, in the past, the envoys sent by the Great Han of Northern Liao to the Great Sui to meet the emperor, every time they mentioned that the Northern Liao wanted to attach themselves to the Great Sui, what kind of answer did the officials of the Ministry of Rites give?" ”

"Avoid talking about it, and refuse it directly if you are in a hurry to ask."

"Anything else?"

"There will be a lot of gifts."

"Did I give you a gift this time?"

Wanyan Chongde shook his head and said: "No, not to mention that there are no gifts such as exquisite porcelain and tea, and there are no officials from the Great Sui Imperial Court to send you when you leave the imperial capital." Before I left the imperial capital, I wanted to see Lord Huai Qiugong again, but no one answered me. It's like, all of a sudden, we become people who don't like us. ”

Fang Xie stood up, patted Yan Chongde's shoulder, and said seriously: "Go back and tell the Khan of Northern Liao, and let him order your warriors of Northern Liao to get ready." Maybe...... War is really coming. ”

Wanyan Chongde was pleasantly surprised: "Are you really so sure? ”

"Brother...... Messenger, you should believe the words of the wise man. ”

The Northern Liao man who had been sitting quietly on the side dressed as a man complained about Yan Chongde, or because he almost said the wrong thing, and there was a blush in his dark face.

Wanyan Chongde was stunned, and then hurriedly apologized to the other party.

Fang Xie hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't thank me...... Actually, I came to you for a request from you. I'm in some trouble now, and I don't know if Brother Yan is willing to help. ”

"Ken!"

Without waiting for Yan Chongde to speak, the woman took the lead and nodded vigorously. She came to her senses as soon as she finished her subconscious words, and her face seemed to be even redder.
