380 tacitly
Liao and Daxia, the current relationship should belong to the newlywed period, it is the time when honey blends oil, you and me, and sticky.
Perhaps because of the desire for others, Yeluertu's style of doing things suddenly changed, and he always wanted to put the best in front of the Great Xia Mission, so this time the seats for the banquet were also selected for Shen Cha and Jin Jing to be the most noble, the most visionary, and the least easy to be disturbed.
Compared with the palace of Great Xia, the Liao Palace is very small, and it is good to have half of the palace of Great Xia, except for the harem, the place that can be used for banquets in front of it is barely up to standard.
Shen Cha, Jin Jing and his entourage dismounted at the gate of the palace, and they were not allowed to ride horses in the palace, and they could not bring too many retinues, and all the civil and military ministers and visiting envoys who participated in the banquet left their entourage outside the palace.
Shen Cha glanced at it a little, and found that they had arrived relatively early, and there was a special banquet shed on the right side of the palace to entertain his entourage, and there were three or two scattered in it, and most of the people had not yet come.
The main entrance of the palace is not too far from the main hall, and there is only one road leading to the main hall, so there is no possibility of getting lost. Along the way, there are guards with knives who are responsible for lighting up the guests with palace lamps, and although the sky is getting dark, you can also see the general situation of the entire palace.
Jerturtu ...... No, it should be that the Liao kings in front of him have not bothered to repair the palace, nor have they taken good care of the so-called garden, although it does not look dilapidated, but there is also a sense of pathos that has gone through vicissitudes.
Walking to the door of the main hall, Yelu Heyi said goodbye to Shen Cha and Jin Jing, he was going to the back to find Yelu Nan, and the little waiter at the gate of the main hall was responsible for leading the way and leading the guests to the seats that had been arranged.
The outside is brightly lit, and the inside of the main hall is also as bright as day, and the palace candle with the thickness of the forearm has one every few steps, so bright that even the pockmarks on the other party's face can be seen clearly.
The hall is divided into two rows, the left seat is for the Liao nobles and important ministers who attend the banquet, and the right side is the special seat for the envoys.
The little chamberlain respectfully brought them to the first table on the right side of the throne, and coincidentally, it was Duan Yu, who had just dealt with them, who was their neighbor.
"General Shen, Jin Junshi, good evening!" Different from the daytime, Duan Yu was wearing a light cyan tunic robe, and when he saw Shen Cha and Jin Jing, he slowly got up from his seat and saluted Shen Cha and Jin Jing, "It turns out that we are sitting at the next table, it seems that we are very fateful." ”
"The second son is also good!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing returned the salute at the same time, and after sitting down, Jin Jing looked at Duan Yu, "The second son came quite early." ”
"It's better to come early than to come by chance, anyway, it's very boring to stay in the inn, it's better to come to the palace for a stroll." After Shen Cha and Jin Jing sat down, Duan Yu sat down again, "The two of you probably don't know that it is the Tubo Mission that is under the same roof as us. It's not that I'm talking bad about people behind my back, they're really ...... Eh, rude and savage, not worth mentioning. He raised his head and glanced at the little chamberlain, "You...... Anything else? ”
"That's right." The little chamberlain was responsible for receiving envoys from other countries for the first time, and the two people from Xia Guo were both notorious, and the elegant son of the Duan clan didn't seem to be easy to get along with, which made him a little nervous and a little scared, worried that if he was not careful, he would anger them, and there might be a disaster from the sky. Hearing Duan Yu's question, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and said cautiously, "Three adults, please take a break, Qi Gongzi is already on his way here, and he will be there soon." ”
"Young Master Qi?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, quickly reacted, and chuckled, "King Liao has a heart, thank you!" ”
"It should, it should!" The little chamberlain bowed and saluted, "The little one has to go to greet the other envoys, and the little one will retire." ”
Seeing the little chamberlain running towards the door of the hall quickly with a look of escape, Jin Jing touched her face again, turned to look at the female official kneeling behind her, who was in charge of pouring them tea, and asked, "Do I look so terrible?" Why do the two of them see me like they are seeing ghosts? ”
The two female officials were only twelve or thirteen years old, and when they heard Jin Jing ask, they were also stunned, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
"The military advisor really doesn't know, why are they afraid of you?" Duan Yu held the teacup and smiled faintly, "The two of you...... Especially General Shen, the evil aura on his body is too heavy, and these boys have never seen the world, or have never seen blood, so they will naturally be afraid. ”
"Listening to it like this, Duan Ergongzi's words are quite reasonable." Jin Jing turned her head to look at Shen Cha, who was silently drinking tea, "It turned out that you were implicated." ”
"That's really unacceptable." Shen Cha raised his eyebrows, not caring at all, "Listen to the meaning of the second son, are you not afraid of us, is it because you have seen the world, or you have also seen blood?" ”
"Isn't this a common thing for people like us?" Duan Yu's smile suddenly turned cold, and he put down the teacup in his hand, "I said before, what kind of person my uncle is, you know, I know, he has compassion on his lips, but he has blood on his hands I don't know how many." But anyone who offends him, even if it is his own son, will be removed cleanly. In order to make an example of the monkeys, he would let us clan disciples watch and even kill the stumbling block with our own hands every time. ”
"King Duan is really ...... in doing things" After thinking for a long time, Jin Jing found a word that was quite suitable, "unique." ”
"Oh, it's a very apt word, and it's really unique. Therefore, there are naturally not a few people in the Duan family clan who dislike him and that guy, and seeing them unlucky, waiting for them to step down is the long-cherished wish of many people in this life. Duan Yu leaned over and asked in a low voice, "How about it, what did you think about what I said during the day?" Seeing Jin Jing's defensive face, he waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will also ask Qi Gongzi for the same question, if you want to succeed, Liao and Xia are the goals we strive for." ”
Shen Cha glanced at Duan Yu from the corner of her eye, took the hand stove handed over by Mei Zhu, half-closed her eyes and didn't talk, this kind of thing has always been the responsibility of Jin Jing, she just needs to sit and listen. However, Duan Yu's question also confirmed their previous guesses, Lian Hou ...... Sure enough, he wanted to kick King Duan and his illegitimate son who was holding him on the tip of his heart.
Thinking of this, a sneer flashed on Shen Cha's face, Lian Hou ...... Or if someone in the Duan family clan has such a thought, King Duan probably can't think of it. He has always put the object of suspicion on his sisters-in-law, concubines, and even capable nephews, and fought with them in full swing, but he didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and everything he did before was making wedding clothes for others.
"Second son, there is a saying that I don't know whether to ask or not." Jin Jing didn't answer Duan Yu's words, "You ...... No, it should be Lian Hou, why would he agree to send an envoy to Liao? Why did you agree to be a lobbyist for King Duan? Before you came, you should have thought that if you only failed to assassinate, the King of Liao and the entire Yelu clan would not have a good face, not to mention burying so many eyeliners in the Liao Realm. ”
"Strategist, I thought about what you said before I came, but my father's purpose for asking me to come was not to seek peace." Duan Yu raised his eyebrows, "The more bad my uncle's reputation outside, the better it will be for us?" I know that if I can't make peace, after I go back, he will hold the handle of our Hou Mansion in his hand, and he can attack as much as he wants. But, that's just his wishful thinking, wanting to uproot the foundation of our family in the court, it's not me who speaks big, with his ability, it's not so easy. ”
"Lian Hou Taoguang's ability to cultivate obscurity is admirable." Jin Jing and Shen Cha glanced at each other, "Second son, this matter is very important, it's not something the two of us can draw conclusions casually, we ......"
"Understood!" Duan Yu patted Jin Jing's arm, "I just told the two of you what my father meant, and asked the two of you to tell the Great Xia Emperor, it is naturally His Majesty the Emperor who makes the decision, we just need to wait quietly for the result." ”
"The second son is a smart man."
Jin Jing picked up the teacup and saluted Duan Yu to each other, and the two of them showed a tacit smile at the same time, and drank the tea at the same time.
Shen Cha watched coldly, and didn't get involved, but when Duan Yu looked at it, he gave him a faint smile-
