"King Xiao, the emperor asked you to go to the palace to discuss the southern expedition." Just when Xiao Feng packed up his things and was about to go back to the Southern Courtyard Palace, he picked up Ah Zhu and left, but Yelu Hongji's herald came to give him an order.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor summoning me?" Hearing Yelu Hongji summon him at this time, Xiao Feng's face also became a little heavy, he was not an ignorant person, he had clearly felt Yelu Hongji's ambition to go south to invade the Song Dynasty in the previous conversation with Yelu Hongji. Although he temporarily promised to think about it himself, it was only because Xiao Feng's words at that time were reasonable, so he couldn't refute it. It is absolutely impossible for him to really give up the intention of going south to invade the Song Dynasty, so Xiao Feng knows very well in his heart that it is not a good thing for Yelu Hongji to find him this time.

"It is said that the emperor listened to the advice of other generals, and they all agreed to your plan not to send troops, so the emperor also decided to postpone the southern expedition, and now the emperor summoned you to the palace just to hold a banquet for you generals." This herald told Xiao Feng everything that Yelu Hongji had asked him to say.

"Is the emperor willing to give up the southern expedition plan?" After hearing the herald's words, Xiao Feng was also quite surprised, he didn't expect that those generals who usually didn't have a deep friendship with him would actually risk offending Yelu Hongji at this time to support his views. What he didn't expect was that Yelu Hongji, who had always been conceited, would actually agree.

"Yes, the emperor has agreed, and now he is holding a banquet to entertain several generals, saying that they are all pillars of the country and must be warmly entertained, of course, it is also important to say that King Xiao must be invited." The herald replied very honestly.

"Hehe, the emperor is willing to change his mind, this is the blessing of Daliao, and it is also the blessing of those of us who are courtiers, where do you dare to let the emperor thank you, you wait a minute, I will enter the palace with you immediately." After hearing the herald's words, Xiao Feng was also very excited, and immediately put away the things he had packed, and attacked with the herald to go to the banquet.

……

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, you are here, come on, come on, hurry up and get into the table." When Xiao Feng entered the palace, he saw Yelu Hongji and a group of Liao generals holding a banquet, and when he saw him coming, he immediately greeted him warmly, without the anger that he had refuted before.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is late, please forgive me." Seeing Yelu Hongji like this, Xiao Feng's heart was also a little strange, and he secretly said that this Yelu Hongji had really changed his sex, and he didn't mention anything before.

"Brother Yi, today is a private dinner, just call the eldest brother directly, come on, come on, toast for our Liao country such a loyal minister who dares to admonish." Yelu Hongji asked the generals present to raise their wine glasses and say to Xiao Feng very seriously.

"Big brother is polite, Xiao Feng doesn't dare to be!" For Yelu Hongji's praise, Xiao Feng also waved his hand politely, and immediately raised his glass to drink with these Liao generals.

But just when everyone was clinking glasses, Ling Chen found that the faces of this group of generals were a little strange, some of them were a little worried, some were some gloating, and the better the relationship with them, the more worried the look in their eyes seemed to be at this moment.

"Could it be that this wine is poisonous, and my eldest brother wants to kill me." After seeing this scene, Xiao Feng also secretly added caution in his heart, and drank the wine in his mouth and did not swallow it, but spit it out when he drank the next glass.

In this way, the banquet ended in this somewhat strange atmosphere, and when he left the palace, Xiao Feng found one of the Liao generals who had a good personal relationship with him and asked, "General Yelu, what happened, the emperor has promised not to raise troops to invade the Song Dynasty, this is a good thing, why are you and the other generals so sad, is there anything wrong?" ”

"King Xiao, I'm ......" Seeing Xiao Feng come to ask him, the general named Yelu had a very ugly face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Well, it looks like something big is happening." Xiao Feng knew very well that the general Yelu in front of him could be said to be a member of the Liao royal family, as the younger brother of the monarch Yelu Hongji, his status was quite high, and he was so embarrassed at this moment, it was enough to see how troublesome the current situation was, so that he didn't dare to reveal it.

"General Yelu, since this is the case, Xiao Feng will leave." Seeing that this matter was extraordinary, Xiao Feng was unwilling to involve the other party.

"I'm sorry, King Xiao." For this Xiao Feng to understand himself so well, this Yelu general was also a little moved in his heart, and at the same time, he was a little ashamed.

"King Xiao, please stay!" Just as Xiao Feng was about to leave, a deputy general who had been at the banquet in the hall before stopped him.

"Uh, Vice Admiral Wang, what's the matter?" Seeing that it was Deputy General Wang who didn't usually communicate with him who stopped him, Xiao Feng was also a little strange.

"King Xiao, is it inconvenient for Fang to borrow a step to talk to me?" Vice General Wang stepped forward and said very respectfully.

"Absolutely." Xiao Feng was also very strange about this deputy general Wang stopping him, and immediately went to a more remote place with him to see what he was going to say.

"King Xiao, do you think it's strange?" After waiting until there was no one around, the deputy general Wang looked at Xiao Feng and asked very seriously.

"Vice Admiral Wang, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Feng was also a little strange in his heart about Vice General Wang's unprovoked question, and he didn't quite understand what he meant for a while.

"King Xiao, don't you think it's strange that the emperor suddenly gave up his intention to go south to invade the Song Dynasty, and held such a banquet to reward you against the fighters, don't you think it's abnormal at all?" Vice General Wang looked at Xiao Feng and asked with a stern expression.

"It's quite strange, does Vice Admiral Wang know the reason?" For Vice General Wang's questioning, it was also a doubt in Xiao Feng's heart, and he immediately asked him seriously.

"The subordinates do know a little reason, which is also the reason why the subordinates asked King Xiao to come over, and asked King Xiao not to tell the emperor that his subordinates leaked it to you if anything happened afterwards." Vice General Wang admonished Xiao Feng with a stern expression.

"This is natural, Xiao Feng guarantees with his own character, and will never reveal what Vice General Wang said today, please Vice General Wang to say that it is okay." After hearing the words of the deputy general Wang, Xiao Feng also nodded secretly, and the secret way was indeed an inside story, and it was also a gag order issued by Yelu Hongji, and he immediately patted his chest very seriously and assured him.

"I naturally believe in King Xiao's character 100%, otherwise I wouldn't have come to King Xiao specially, here's the thing, after you opposed the emperor's use of troops in the Southern Song Dynasty that day, the emperor was furious, and at that time he directly held a military meeting to invade the Song Dynasty in the council hall, ready to give you a resounding slap in the face directly with a victory, but for the emperor's approach, all the generals in the council hall expressed their opposition, among which General Xiao's opposition was the strongest!" Vice Admiral Wang said to him very seriously.

"General Xiao...... By the way, why didn't I see him at today's banquet? After hearing the words of this deputy general Wang, Xiao Feng also thought of a general of Liao who had the same surname as himself, although he had nothing to do with himself, but because he had the same surname as himself, Xiao Feng also had a certain impression of him, and he didn't expect him to agree with his views like this, and he was immediately very surprised, and at the same time, it was very strange that he did not attend today's banquet.

"This is also what I want to tell King Xiao, General Xiao has been put into prison by the emperor because of his strong opposition to the emperor's invasion of the Song Dynasty, and the emperor also found that his behavior seemed to cause dissatisfaction among all the generals, so he decided to cancel the intention of going south to invade the Song Dynasty, but at the same time, he also convicted General Xiao of a crime of disobedience, and let all the generals not sue you, otherwise they will be guilty of the same crime!" Vice General Wang explained the reason for this qiē to Xiao Feng in great detail.

"I see, I'm going to see the emperor and ask him to take back his order." After listening to the speech of Deputy General Wang, Xiao Feng was also shocked in his heart, and immediately decided to go to Yelu Hongji and let him let go of this General Xiao, who was not familiar with him, but dared to support him.

"King Xiao, please don't, didn't you kill your subordinates?" Vice Admiral Wang immediately stopped Xiao Feng's behavior, and said to him very seriously: "King Xiao, I risk angering the emperor to tell you the inside story of this matter, you can't betray your subordinates in a blink of an eye, if the emperor knows that I sued you, he will definitely punish my nine clans!" ”

“…… However, I can't help but save General Xiao! On the one hand, he was very grateful to General Xiao who didn't meet much, but dared to speak to Yelu Hongji for him or for the people, and wanted to do his best to save him, but at the same time, he was worried that his behavior would affect this Vice General Wang who told him the inside story because he believed in himself.

"King Xiao, there is naturally a way for your subordinates to sue you for this qiē." Just when Xiao Feng was very entangled, this deputy general Wang gave Xiao Feng a way.

"Vice General Wang, if you have any way, please make it clear." After hearing the words of this Vice General Wang, Xiao Feng immediately looked at him with hope, and he was also very curious about what kind of good way this Deputy General Wang, who usually didn't pay much attention to him, would give him.

"King Xiao, this method is to ask King Xiao to go to the prison and persuade that General Xiao. You must know that this General Xiao is also a member of my Liao country, in fact, the emperor is reluctant to kill him, but his temperament is too stubborn, and he doesn't feel that he did wrong against the emperor at the beginning, so he incurs the disaster of killing, as long as King Xiao is willing to persuade this General Xiao to turn back, let him admit his mistake to the emperor after the emperor is angry, and the emperor does not have to kill him. Vice General Wang said to Xiao Feng very seriously.

"So that's the case, Vice General Wang, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to Xiao Feng." Regarding Vice General Wang's suggestion, Xiao Feng did not doubt him, and immediately rushed to the direction where the prison was located.

But just after Xiao Feng left, a sinister smile appeared on the face of Vice General Wang......
