Liao State, Linhuang Mansion, Regent's Mansion

"Lord Wang, Wanyan Xigongzi asks to see you."

The attendant walked into Yeluertu's study, knelt on one knee, and looked up slightly at the man who was wearing a dark cotton robe and holding his hands behind his back, standing in front of the map and thinking seriously.

"Wanyanxi?" The man standing in front of the map slowly turned around, slowly walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, "What is he doing here?" ”

"I said that I would like to thank the prince for his help."

"Looking at it this way, it's a thankful retribution!" Yeruertu nodded, "Let him in!" ”

"Yes!"

The attendant answered, turned and went out, and after a short time, a young man in a goose-yellow brocade robe walked in.

"The foreign minister is happy to meet the regent!" According to the etiquette of the Liao Kingdom, the young man saluted Yeluertu, "Thank you for the help of the regent." ”

"Virtuous nephew get up quickly, meet in private, don't be polite." Yeluertu raised his hand and motioned for the attendant to bring a thick cushion for Wan Yanxi, and asked Wan Yanxi to sit down. "With all the effort, why bother to thank the virtuous nephew? Doesn't that seem like a lot of separation between us? ”

"The prince and the minister have not met before, so they can believe what the minister said, and extend a helping hand to the minister, and the prince's high demeanor makes the minister admire." Wan Yanxi knelt on the cushion, took the teacup handed to him by the attendant, and thanked the attendant, "The foreign minister is now in an embarrassing situation, the prince not only does not dislike it, but also helps righteously, and in the future, the foreign minister will thank him again." ”

"Virtuous nephew, it's serious! This is the only thing the king can help you, and the rest can only rely on yourself, and the king is here to wish you a smooth journey. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

Although Yeluertu had a smile on his face, he was secretly shaking his head in his heart, this Wan Yan Xi had been in exile for many years, and he had become a lot smoother, and the arrogance in the bones of the Jin people had also been polished cleanly, compared with Wan Yan Zongcheng, one in the sky and one in the ground. Although Wanyan Zongcheng is not in tune, he is also a hard bone, and he will not bow to others, especially their Liao people. And the young man in front of him, just to avenge his father and brother, even disregarded the righteousness of his family and country, even if he ascended the throne and became king in the future, it was not necessarily a good thing for the people of Jin State.

"Lord Wang!" The attendant just now walked in again, "Young Master Nan and Young Master Zhifeng are here. ”

"Yo, what's going on today? You made an appointment? One by one, they have come to meet at this king. Hearing that Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng were coming, the smile on Yelu Ertu's face became much more vivid, vivid, and more real. He stood up, walked around the bookcase to the door of the study, looked at the two handsome young men walking hand in hand, raised his voice slightly, and said, "The snow is so heavy today, you two don't want to stay in the house and pack your bags, why did you come to me?" You're here to say goodbye to me? ”

"My nephew has seen Uncle Wang!" Yelu Nan, who was in a blue robe, and Qi Zhifeng, who was dressed in a big red robe, both saluted Yeluertu, and after saluting, Qi Zhifeng smiled, "This trip to Xia Kingdom, how can it take two months to come and go, I can't see Uncle Wang for so long, I am very disappointed in my heart, before I leave Linhuang Mansion, disturb Uncle Wang more, I hope Uncle Wang will not be annoyed!" ”

"Oh, came to see me?" Yeluertu leaned over to look at Qi Zhifeng and slapped him on the shoulder, "Boy, do you think your uncle will believe this kind of high-sounding words?" I'm afraid that you two are not worried about my uncle and me, but the cook in my uncle's house, right? ”

"Look, it's debunked all at once." Qi Zhifeng looked at Yelu Nan beside him with a face full of grievances, and said with a snort, "This is all Brother Nan's bad idea, if Uncle Wang wants to punish him, he will be punished." ”

"Yes, it's all my brother's fault, and it has nothing to do with Brother Feng." Yelu Nan pinched Qi Zhifeng's face, swept away the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders, and smiled at Yeluertu, "The little nephew is indeed worried about Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang doesn't care about anything when he gets busy, we also have to explain to the people in the house, let them keep an eye on Uncle Wang, eat on time, and go to bed on time." If we come back from Xia Kingdom and Uncle Wang becomes thinner, we will punish them. ”

"Brother Nan is right, he will be punished!" Qi Zhifeng added, "There is also a lot of thinking about the roast whole sheep in Uncle Wang's mansion, and before I leave, I will come and rub a few more delicious dishes." Uncle Wang, you won't dislike us, right? ”

"It's the truth to come and eat and drink, right?" Yeluertu reached out and swept the snowflakes on them, "It's cold outside, come in and talk!" ”

"Uncle Xie!" As soon as Qi Zhifeng raised his eyes, he saw Wan Yan Xi standing behind Yeluertu and saluting them, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Yo, isn't this Wan Yan Gongzi?" Why do you have time to come to Uncle Wang today? Are you here to bid farewell to Uncle Wang? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Yan Xi to answer, Qi Zhifeng took Yelu Nan's arm and followed Ye Lu Ertu into the house, and Ye Lu Nan didn't even raise his eyelids, he went straight past him, and he didn't see this person.

"If the prince has something, the minister will not bother, and the minister will retire!"

"Then the king won't keep you, go slowly!"

After seeing Yan Xi leave the study, the attendant removed the cushions and teacups he had sat on and replaced them with new ones.

"What is he here for? Didn't Uncle Wang give him permission to follow our delegation to the Xia Kingdom to meet with the envoy of the Jin State, and gave him the status of a deputy envoy? Qi Zhifeng held the hand stove and looked at Yeluertu puzzled, "Could it be ...... He is still thinking about asking us to send troops to help him attack the Kingdom of Jin? ”

"He came to thank him, and King Xie Ben reached out to him and helped him in times of crisis."

"Hypocrisy!" Yelu Nan sneered and handed himself and Qi Zhifeng's big sword to the attendants, "People in the world often say that Xia people are cunning. In fact, when it comes to cunning and inconsistency, if the Jin people admit the second, no one dares to call them the first. Xia Ren's promise is repeated, and the things he promised, no matter how difficult it is, will be done, and he will not regret it easily, and it can be delivered. But the gold people are different, the contract made in black and white, can be said to turn the face, and they don't know what integrity is. On the surface, they are respectful and grateful, but they are waiting to stab others behind their backs, and they have done a lot of such things. ”

"Brother Nan is right, in my opinion, this Wanyan Xi is such a person, Uncle Wang, don't be fooled by his appearance."

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaofeng has also grown, and he will say that it is the appearance. Don't worry, Wan Yan Xi's Taoism is still shallow, and he chose this time to settle accounts with Wan Yan Zong, which is the next step. Yeluertu instructed the attendants to go to the big kitchen to say something, and prepare a whole roast sheep for the two young masters, and then continued, "The disaster situation in the country of Jin is serious, and the people are struggling to make a living, if he really has the heart, he shouldn't instruct Wanyan and Wen to work against Wanyan Zongcheng." The will of the people is more important than the support of any nobles. Pity...... Judging by his appearance, he should still have the meaning of borrowing soldiers. Yeluertu looked at Qi Zhifeng, "Your father is strongly opposed, saying that it is a thankless task." In the end, you may end up with a person who is not human inside and out. ”

"Uncle Wang, it's not possible, but it's definitely there. Don't you know who the Wanyan family is? Being ungrateful, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is their forte! Qi Zhifeng pursed his lips, "From a geographical point of view, Xia Guo is closer to Jin Kingdom, why didn't he go to Jiaping Guancheng to find Shen Shuai for help, and he had to go all the way to Linhuang Mansion?" Besides, Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyan Ping have been making trouble for Shen Shuai a lot in the past few years, if anyone hates their father and daughter, it should be Shen Haolin, right? If Wan Yan begged for his head, he wouldn't be rejected by Shen Haolin, right? ”

"He didn't ask Shen Shuai because of his careful eye, afraid that the Shen family army would take the opportunity to occupy Yiqing Mansion, and that he would lead the wolf into the house, and in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty." Yelu Nan put a piece of milk lump in Qi Zhifeng's teacup, and also put a piece for himself, stirred it with a small spoon, and said, "But he doesn't want to think about it, isn't it the same result to borrow my Liao Army?" Are we stupider than the Xia people? Ye Lu Nan handed the milk tea he had mixed to his lips and took a sip, "Uncle Wang, this time we are here, not only to eat and drink, but also to talk to Uncle Wang." ”

"Oh? What's up? ”

"Sister Wang came with news from over there, two months ago, Xiao Liu took matters into his own hands and assassinated General Shen Cha in broad daylight, and was arrested by the Shen family's army, and was publicly executed today."

"Xiao Liu is a brainless person, and his heart and mind are to avenge Xiao Chongtian. He didn't want to think about it, was Xiao Chongtian willing for him to find someone to take revenge? If this king is not mistaken, then Xiao Chongtian's thoughts about General Shen are not simple! Yeluertu sneered, "When this king sent Xiao Liu over there, he expected that there would be today, but I didn't expect him to be so bold." What is the situation with General Shen? Can the injury be severe? ”

"What the specific situation is, Sister Wang didn't elaborate, but it's been two months, it should be okay, right?" Yelu Nan sighed, put down the teacup, and looked at Yelu Ertu, "The little nephew has always wanted to ask Uncle Wang, and Uncle Wang ...... General Shen"

"At a young age, why do you like to think crookedly?" Yeluertu waved his hand, "Although we and the Xia Kingdom are hostile countries, they will not be hostile forever, and if we encounter a common enemy, there will be a chance to join forces." So, you young people should also build a good relationship, communicate a lot, and don't think all you think about all day is you hit me and I hit you, right? ”

"Uncle Wang's words are sincere?" Qi Zhifeng burst out laughing, "Let's communicate with Shen Jiajun?" Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”

"Eh, we're evenly matched with them, and the word sheep in the tiger's mouth is inappropriate."

Qi Zhifeng raised his eyebrows, and did not answer Yeluertu's words, and followed Yelunan's previous words, "There is a more important matter, not long after Xiao Liu was arrested, Shen Jiajun's people copied a medicine shop, and Sister Wang said that it was opened by a Jinguo spy." This public execution, the Jin State spies were also together, but the notice only wrote the execution of the Liao State details. ”

"Let's carry the black pot for the Jin people?" Yeluertu raised his eyebrows, "Who came up with the idea?" ”

"I don't know." Yelu Nan and Qi Zhifeng shook their heads at the same time, "Jiaping Guancheng has been locked down for more than two months since Shen Cha was assassinated, and the news sent by Sister Wang is limited, and we don't know a lot of inside information and details. It's just that the Shen Jiajun deliberately came over through the rumors, and the reason why they copied the medicine shop was that they took advantage of General Shen's serious injury and put something in her medicine and planted it on our heads. Although the truth was found in time, the news that the Liao people had been assassinated in front and poisoned in the back had already spread in the city, and they could only make mistakes wrong. ”

"The person who revealed the news also said that Xiao Liu and they could have been immortal, but the Jin people came to such a hand, they had to die if they didn't die, otherwise, it would be difficult for the people to be angry." Qi Zhifeng grabbed a handful of dried fruits and chewed them slowly, "Shen Shuai specially told us this, what does it mean?" ”

"It is to tell us that the Jin people are unkind and unjust, and we must keep a certain distance from them, and we must not be too close, otherwise we will be hurt." Yeluertu shook his head, "Shen Haolin, this kid, is much better than him." Through the assassination of General Shen, he held the handle of the two countries of Liao and Jin in his hands in case of emergency. Yeluertu looked at Yelu Nan, and then looked at Qi Zhifeng, "Jiaping Guancheng Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, you must not act rashly when you go." This time, don't spend the night in the city as usual, and after seeing Shen Shuai, leave quickly. ”

"Didn't Uncle Wang just say that he wanted to communicate with them more?"

"That's what you're going to do later, not now."

"Yes, my nephew understands!"

"Don't go to see your sister Wang, and don't try to contact her." Yeluertu sighed, "Now that Jiaping Guancheng is heavily guarded, there are the eyes of the Shen family's army spies everywhere, if you are not careful, your sister Wang's hard work for so many years will be in vain, maybe you will have to throw your life there." ”

"Yes!" Yelu Nan nodded, "Even if you see it, you don't know it." ”

"That's right, there are ......," Yeluer said with a straight face, "Keep an eye on Xiao Fengqi for this king, his every move must be within your sight, and he is not allowed to talk nonsense or do wrong things." Otherwise, you have the right to dispose of him on the spot! ”

"Yes, my nephew knows!"
